00:00:00It's Christmas.

00:00:01Remember Box Mac?

00:00:02Send him in.

00:00:06It's money.

00:00:08The ham.

00:00:10I would never do this in a thousand years.

00:00:12This is just like the cookies.

00:00:15Why do you care?

00:00:23This is a real actual nutcracker.

00:00:25And you're gonna pay $35.

00:00:27Yeah, you are.

00:00:28I'm not, but someone is.

00:00:30Where are we?

00:00:34We are at Spirit Christmas in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts.

00:00:38This is the only location in Massachusetts and one of only two in New England.

00:00:42And there's only 10 total.

00:00:43Obviously affiliated with Spirit Halloween.

00:00:45Yes, same company.

00:00:46This is kind of like a trial year, right?

00:00:48Yes, they might have experimented with this in the past,

00:00:50but this is the first time we're in like modern era.

00:00:53Wait a minute, you're saying that Spirit Christmas has opened other times?

00:00:56Yes, they deny it.

00:00:58But there's this Spirit Halloween fan site,

00:01:00and they have a small section with a couple blurry photos

00:01:03of some Spirit Christmases from the 90s and maybe the 2000s.

00:01:08The mandala effect.

00:01:09This one opened just a few days ago.

00:01:10Oh, just a few days.

00:01:11No wonder there's a tremendous amount of hype here.

00:01:13This is the first weekend.

00:01:14So there are a tremendous amount of customers,

00:01:16but not that many leaving with bags.

00:01:18It opens in the old Christmas tree shop location.

00:01:21Yeah, well, I mean, it is a good themed building for it, isn't it?

00:01:24It still has the sleigh glass up in the window with the tree.

00:01:27Yeah, I couldn't help but notice they didn't choose

00:01:28the Circuit City location.

00:01:29Yes.

00:01:31And remember, of course, we went to this very Christmas tree shop,

00:01:33you know, in 2016.

00:01:34We did.

00:01:34Outside of just wandering around and looking at the store,

00:01:37do you have anything on a shopping list?

00:01:39I do, actually.

00:01:39First, I need some of those wire hangers.

00:01:42I was making ornaments out of fish hooks.

00:01:44I also am looking for some high quality ornaments.

00:01:46Now, I don't know if this is going to be the right place for that.

00:01:48If they have some nice things, I'd definitely be in the market.

00:01:50Remember I gave you the Anne and Hope and the Benny ones?

00:01:53Yes, those go on my tree every year.

00:01:55Those are prized.

00:01:55Can't get them now.

00:01:56Those are limited edition.

00:01:58Santa?

00:01:58He definitely had a Santa.

00:02:00He had the red shirt, the big white beard.

00:02:01He had a Santa working Santa look.

00:02:03I wouldn't be surprised if he's like going to be Santa inside shortly.

00:02:06Nick Foley?

00:02:07Gloria wants to go from mall to mall, meet different Santas.

00:02:10And she has questions.

00:02:11Mix up the story.

00:02:13Yeah.

00:02:13Oh, you want to see if they all get their story straight?

00:02:15Get it all consistent?

00:02:18They want it to be a story that's an experience.

00:02:20Yes.

00:02:21Is it just me or does it feel like Spirit Halloween?

00:02:23Like the cardboard kind of...

00:02:24Like the makeup would go right there, you know?

00:02:26Gloria, now when the reindeer leaps out at you, it won't be frightening.

00:02:30It just kind of dances calmly.

00:02:32I feel like some of those things are repurposed for Halloween.

00:02:34These giant candy bars.

00:02:35That used to be Michael Myers' house of doom.

00:02:38Now it's a candy cane.

00:02:39Yes.

00:02:39Oh, I like those.

00:02:40What's in Junt's sleigh?

00:02:42Yes.

00:02:42Wait, why is there a sandworm?

00:02:44This place is f***ing packed.

00:02:45It is.

00:02:46I have not seen retail packed like this in so long.

00:02:49Do you like him?

00:02:50Good kitty.

00:02:53Gloria, look at him doing a little sassy dance.

00:02:57Look at the frosty head.

00:03:03Oh yeah.

00:03:04And when they placed it on his head.

00:03:06I bet just two weeks ago he was the corpse bride.

00:03:11He's saying jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

00:03:15All in fun.

00:03:15It is to ride.

00:03:16And the one who was home in his sleigh.

00:03:18He's just speaking it instead of singing it?

00:03:20I think it's going to be a long, long time

00:03:23till touchdown brings me around again to find.

00:03:26Oh, that's this electronic audio.

00:03:28Yes, I'm a little less of a fan of that.

00:03:30What do you think of this cute snowman in a swing though, dude?

00:03:33That's cute.

00:03:34You can't put it outside, can you?

00:03:36He's only 190 bucks.

00:03:38Only 190 bucks.

00:03:40Oh, look at this.

00:03:41We will bring back your letter.

00:03:42And it's got kind of a red alert, green alert.

00:03:44I have seen videos of it online.

00:03:46I believe it is hardwired to nice.

00:03:48It doesn't light up naughty and the floor doesn't open out

00:03:51ever wonder you exist.

00:03:53You can ask an associate for a Santa postcard.

00:03:55The footprint is so tiny compared

00:03:57to what the story used to be.

00:04:00Oh, yeah, because it's cardboarded most of it off.

00:04:02I expected more footprint.

00:04:04Well, again, this is a trial.

00:04:05They're probably trying to keep costs a little low.

00:04:07Hey, Gloria, you've heard of Saint Nick.

00:04:09But what about Junter Klaus?

00:04:10You remember meeting him as a child.

00:04:14You can see Santa here.

00:04:16Of course you can.

00:04:17You know, you got it right.

00:04:18Let's see if he gets a story straight.

00:04:20So I'm just going to ask him some questions.

00:04:22And if he makes the same answers of the other Santa,

00:04:26then Santa's real.

00:04:28And if they all mix the questions up,

00:04:32then he's not real.

00:04:33So you're looking for consistency across Santas.

00:04:35And you have to write them down on your phone.

00:04:38Gloria's like, I'm just going to ask him a few questions.

00:04:41Santa, would it be all right if I just asked a few?

00:04:43Would it be OK if I ask you a few questions?

00:04:45Cheapest we can do it for is like $40.

00:04:47$39.99.

00:04:48For a photo?

00:04:48Is the visit free?

00:04:50Santa, I have a few questions.

00:04:51They're not going to be impolite,

00:04:52but they're going to be firm.

00:04:53Can I actually say that?

00:04:55You can say whatever you'd like.

00:04:56This elf over here reminds me of the elf from Home Alone.

00:04:59The one who's leaving?

00:04:59Like, they've closed up for the night?

00:05:01Yes.

00:05:01Oh, thanks.

00:05:03This could be the real dude.

00:05:04You never know.

00:05:05Pretend that every Santa may be the real Santa.

00:05:07Yes.

00:05:07Come on over here.

00:05:09I'm going to ask you some questions.

00:05:10OK, you're going to ask me some questions.

00:05:11Does a reindeer ever get tired?

00:05:13And is it hard to take care of the reindeer?

00:05:16No, because see, the reindeer graze all year long.

00:05:20They rest.

00:05:20And then when Christmas time comes,

00:05:22they're very fresh and strong.

00:05:24And there's no problem.

00:05:26My only problem is I get to keep feeding them all the time.

00:05:30You know, they eat a lot of food.

00:05:31There's eight of them.

00:05:32That makes sense.

00:05:33That makes very much sense.

00:05:35It does.

00:05:36Story checks out.

00:05:37Now, Gloria, how old are you?

00:05:39Seven.

00:05:39You sure you're not 17?

00:05:41I'm sure I'm not 17.

00:05:43OK, you're seven.

00:05:44You sound like 17.

00:05:46You know, a lot of questions.

00:05:48I'm in second grade.

00:05:49Second grade.

00:05:50And what's your favorite subject in school?

00:05:52Technology.

00:05:53Yeah, technology, I'd say.

00:05:55Yeah?

00:05:55Are you good at math?

00:05:57I'm great.

00:05:58I'm working on my math.

00:06:01Oh, you're working?

00:06:01Good, good.

00:06:02I was never too great at math.

00:06:04My favorite subject was music or lunch.

00:06:07I like those.

00:06:08Don't I?

00:06:08You like that too?

00:06:09Yeah.

00:06:09Now, is there something special you want for Christmas?

00:06:12Nothing too special.

00:06:14I'm trying to get in all of my presents before Christmas

00:06:18so that I don't have to ask for anything for Christmas

00:06:21so that I don't need a Christmas present.

00:06:24Oh, do you have a special?

00:06:26I do have a special present for my mom and dad.

00:06:28Oh, that's nice.

00:06:29So you want me to bring you surprises?

00:06:33If you need it, if you want.

00:06:35Of course I want.

00:06:36You did it last year.

00:06:38You did that last year.

00:06:39You like coal?

00:06:41I have got coal before.

00:06:45It's cool.

00:06:46What, like those chocolate coals again?

00:06:48Oh my gosh, it's real coal?

00:06:50I'm just going to leave that.

00:06:52Coal is actually useful.

00:06:54Yes, it is.

00:06:54Especially if you're a comp scout and I'm a comp scout.

00:06:57The coal I bring you, you can eat it.

00:06:59Oh, the chocolate coal.

00:07:00It's candy coal.

00:07:00Chocolate coal.

00:07:02Yes.

00:07:02Make sure you check it out beforehand.

00:07:05Don't put a piece of real coal in your mouth.

00:07:07Yeah.

00:07:07You'll break all your teeth.

00:07:08Very good.

00:07:09Well, I'm glad you came and see me.

00:07:11You are really a handful.

00:07:14I will see you at Christmas time, okay?

00:07:16I'll see you too.

00:07:17Very good.

00:07:18Give me five.

00:07:19Not going to try to trap you, just going to try to see you.

00:07:24Is that worker Santa?

00:07:25Is that who you saw?

00:07:26That was who we saw.

00:07:26Yeah.

00:07:27Oh, look at who we have here.

00:07:28Your favorite.

00:07:29The very appropriate children's cartoon South Park.

00:07:32Yes.

00:07:34They have a lot of apparel, which kind of makes sense.

00:07:36So it's just, it's Christmas lights.

00:07:37It's cute.

00:07:38Yeah.

00:07:38But it's branded Christmas.

00:07:41I do, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:07:42Look at that thing.

00:07:44PJ and Mac for the Christmas special.

00:07:46PJ and Mac.

00:07:47Two different sizes.

00:07:48Like as if you would get this in a small for two people.

00:07:51There you go.

00:07:52Ladies and gentlemen, the two headed daughter and mother.

00:07:56So stand up, seriously.

00:07:57It will teach us to cooperate.

00:07:59It'll teach you to cooperate.

00:08:00We saw a really great show.

00:08:03And off they go.

00:08:04You guys are physically connected again.

00:08:06Let's take it off for now because it is very warm, actually.

00:08:08Yeah.

00:08:08It's all acrylic.

00:08:09Yeah.

00:08:09You're meant to be, you know, out in the snow, I suppose.

00:08:12I'm kind of attracted to some of this kitsch.

00:08:14I am too.

00:08:14I would actually like to get myself a nice.

00:08:16Yeah.

00:08:17Silly Christmas present.

00:08:18How about this festive AF one?

00:08:19I'm a certified freak.

00:08:21Let's f*** around and find out.

00:08:22Yeah.

00:08:22There's this undertone of like spook here as well.

00:08:25Like just lingering in the corners.

00:08:26Overstock.

00:08:27What about a really good ceramic cookie jar?

00:08:30That would be lovely.

00:08:31Oreo cookies inside of it.

00:08:32Yeah.

00:08:32These are fun.

00:08:33They're soap dispensers.

00:08:34Not bad.

00:08:3510 bucks.

00:08:3510 bucks for a soap?

00:08:36They're a little like, how much soap do I need for the Christmas season?

00:08:39I can't believe Santa over here.

00:08:40This guy's messing around.

00:08:43It's the real Santa.

00:08:44Like cheesy Christmas movies where like you encounter him in the grocery store.

00:08:48Yeah, he's just a guy, but you can tell he's definitely Santa.

00:08:51Then you see him at the gym the next day and it's a little less magical.

00:08:53Yes.

00:08:55So you went like in the post office and then it's like, you're accountant.

00:08:59You weren't as transient as I thought.

00:09:00Yeah.

00:09:01You're very present in the world.

00:09:03You just have to live in my town.

00:09:04You're not the real Santa.

00:09:05All season.

00:09:07This sounds like a short film written itself.

00:09:10I have a South Park snow globe that is very precious to me because it was a gift.

00:09:14In the Comedy Central offices and I bought it for 50 bucks on eBay when I was 14.

00:09:18Well, that's some of those things like you just can't find them again.

00:09:21These are like cheapo nutcrackers.

00:09:23This is just like, sell them, sell them, sell them.

00:09:25It's still 10 bucks.

00:09:26It's definitely cardboard.

00:09:28Yeah?

00:09:28Cardboard.

00:09:29Oh yeah.

00:09:30This is much better.

00:09:31This is a real actual nutcracker.

00:09:33And you're going to pay $35.

00:09:35Yeah, you are.

00:09:36I'm not, but someone is.

00:09:37Krampus is really splashed onto the scene.

00:09:40Sure.

00:09:40And of course, Spirit is going to emphasize it all.

00:09:42Ceramic figurines.

00:09:44That's an old item.

00:09:45I'm looking for the ornaments and the blow molds.

00:09:47I haven't seen any of them yet.

00:09:49What about like big, gaudy, puffy?

00:09:51All right, the red ones with the sequins does appeal to me.

00:09:54I could hang it between my storm door and my regular door.

00:09:5710 bucks.

00:09:58Everything's 10 bucks.

00:09:5910 below.

00:10:0010 below.

00:10:0110 Spirit below.

00:10:02I like it.

00:10:02I don't quite like it enough to buy it.

00:10:04I think Christmas signs.

00:10:05I don't really know what the application is.

00:10:07Put it on wall, wall art.

00:10:09Winnie the Pooh and Christmas 2 is an underrated Christmas special.

00:10:13I don't know if I've seen it since I was a child.

00:10:14Yeah, and I bet you it would come flooding back if you watched it.

00:10:17Bro.

00:10:19With individual cheese noodles?

00:10:21Yeah, look, let me see that.

00:10:22How much am I going to have to pay?

00:10:23Oh, it's going to be expensive.

00:10:24It's ice cream brand.

00:10:25Kind of love the Reese's one.

00:10:27What do you think?

00:10:27Am I a peanut butter cup guy or am I a pieces guy?

00:10:30Because they got pieces up there.

00:10:31I don't know.

00:10:32I mean, you always seem to be as more of a peanut butter cup guy.

00:10:34Yeah.

00:10:35But I actually prefer the pieces.

00:10:37It's got individual noodles.

00:10:39Give me a word on inflatables.

00:10:41I like them, but not in my yard.

00:10:43Yeah.

00:10:44And NIMBY, you know?

00:10:46Not in my backyard.

00:10:48These are ornaments right here.

00:10:49Clearance ornaments or something.

00:10:51And then it's mostly food.

00:10:52You can get board game ornaments.

00:10:54Does that do anything for you?

00:10:55Stuffing mix.

00:10:56Comma generic.

00:10:57Why is this textured in fabric?

00:10:59It just seems like as it sits outside, it's going to moldinate.

00:11:01True, but don't you think it kind of sets it apart from your average crap?

00:11:05It absolutely does.

00:11:06Yeah.

00:11:06Have you ever seen the Matt Groening Christmas movie, Olive, the Other Reindeer?

00:11:11I don't think I've ever seen it.

00:11:12It's funny and good.

00:11:13Yeah?

00:11:14And a unique animation style.

00:11:15And it's from like 20 years ago.

00:11:17I would probably love it then.

00:11:18I like the little tree.

00:11:19I wish the lights weren't so chintzy.

00:11:21I guess I do like gigantic ones.

00:11:22I mean, look at Rudolph over here.

00:11:23He looks like a Trojan horse.

00:11:25He's going to like sabotage Christmas from somebody's belly.

00:11:27You know, the snow globe is kind of interesting, but generally speaking,

00:11:30it all strikes me as paper tigers.

00:11:33Yeah, exactly.

00:11:34Christmas without class.

00:11:36We don't have the Christmas place anymore.

00:11:37This place doesn't, you know, pales in comparison.

00:11:40Something that they could do, though, is make this bigger.

00:11:42Yeah.

00:11:42I think there's more to do.

00:11:43More variety of inventory.

00:11:44And I understand this is the first year, so they don't want to go crazy.

00:11:47They're obviously not trying to make it a traditional Christmas store either.

00:11:50Remember what set Christmas place apart was it had like different levels of value.

00:11:55Yes.

00:11:55And it had things like the roasted nuts.

00:11:57And they've tried to do that a little with the Santa.

00:11:59Part of the whole concept of the brand, though, is that you keep the store cheap.

00:12:03Unfortunately, that's the...

00:12:04Mark way up, too.

00:12:05Because the price is hearing.

00:12:06They're okay.

00:12:06I mean, some of them are fine.

00:12:08What we have here?

00:12:09Pastas.

00:12:10Holiday shaped pastas.

00:12:11Well, that needs investigation.

00:12:12Also, during this whole Stanley craze, you can get some like Christmas and also not Christmas.

00:12:17Yes, both.

00:12:18Oh, okay.

00:12:19It's kind of like the harvest pasta colors, but...

00:12:21They've taken out the orange and upped the green a little bit and called it a day.

00:12:25I'm kind of done on novelty pasta.

00:12:27What about just shaped pasta in general, though?

00:12:28I like it.

00:12:29It's tasty.

00:12:30It's six bucks for a package of this.

00:12:32Kind of outrageous.

00:12:33You know, I know what this costs to produce.

00:12:34This should be $3.50 is a good price.

00:12:37Four bucks.

00:12:38This is just FYE slash Newbery Comics.

00:12:41Yeah.

00:12:41It's literally stock from Spencer Gifts.

00:12:44Wearable blankets.

00:12:44Yeah, wearable blankets.

00:12:45You got your Shrek because Shrek is still very popular somehow.

00:12:48Yes.

00:12:48I don't have a wearable blanket.

00:12:50I don't have a Snuggie or anything like that.

00:12:51Do you lament not having one?

00:12:52I think like it's probably a missing part of my life.

00:12:55Yeah.

00:12:55No, you should get one.

00:12:56But get a nice one.

00:12:57Don't just buy the next wearable blanket I see.

00:12:59Yes.

00:12:59Just a load of put your beverage in this and drink it.

00:13:03Yeah.

00:13:04The stuffed animal stock is actually pretty decent.

00:13:06I mean, look at that ET.

00:13:07I didn't think I would see ET plushies again anytime soon.

00:13:10Right?

00:13:10He's a challenging character because he's both frightening and cute.

00:13:13Yeah.

00:13:13And they've definitely cutened him up a little here.

00:13:15Yeah.

00:13:15But he is also frightening.

00:13:17Yes.

00:13:17Because he looks kind of like a freakish raisin.

00:13:19Look, Cindy Lou Who.

00:13:20My first thought was anything with Nightmare Before Christmas you can double up on.

00:13:24Yeah, exactly.

00:13:25And they've done it all over the place.

00:13:26Yeah.

00:13:26But here's the thing about that.

00:13:28It's dishonest.

00:13:28And I'll tell you why.

00:13:29Yeah.

00:13:30Nightmare Before Christmas is a Halloween movie.

00:13:31And that's that.

00:13:32That's that.

00:13:33I understand there's Christmas elements in it.

00:13:34Yes.

00:13:35It's not a Christmas movie.

00:13:36It's not a Christmas movie.

00:13:37Soda socks that come in a vending machine.

00:13:39Cute.

00:13:40Except once you unwrap it, it's done.

00:13:41Yeah.

00:13:42The joke is over.

00:13:42And then I'm just wearing one pair of Sprite socks.

00:13:45You blast beverages now?

00:13:46Don't just drink them.

00:13:47Blast them.

00:13:48It's for high alcohol consumption rates.

00:13:49What am I looking at?

00:13:50I don't know.

00:13:51Oh, it's a micro puzzle.

00:13:52Oh.

00:13:53For the space constrained among us?

00:13:55Yes.

00:13:55For people with very good eyesight.

00:13:56You wouldn't be able to tell one piece from the next.

00:13:58No.

00:13:59But I can tell that this is a chicken tender keychain.

00:14:02Yes.

00:14:02Tender keychain.

00:14:03Men to avoid in art and life.

00:14:06Museum bums.

00:14:07That's kind of amazes me.

00:14:08Side question.

00:14:09Do you reckon that the seasonal employee pipeline

00:14:12from Spirit Halloween can enter right into this store?

00:14:15Absolutely.

00:14:16So that's a nice idea.

00:14:17Yes.

00:14:17So then you've got a three-month or four-month job.

00:14:19Yes.

00:14:20Instead of just a two-month job.

00:14:21Yeah.

00:14:22Some people are showing up in their jammies.

00:14:23I'm not sure it's like a Christmas event over here.

00:14:26But you know, it's fun.

00:14:27It's getting there.

00:14:27Did you get the blow mold?

00:14:29Nina, take me to the blow mold department, please.

00:14:31Oh my God, I just earned a star.

00:14:33Oh, very nice.

00:14:34$39.99.

00:14:35Wow.

00:14:36You think that's expensive for a blow mold?

00:14:37Yes.

00:14:38It's so cheap to make that.

00:14:40Serious amounts of lights on wheels.

00:14:42Yes.

00:14:42$24.99.

00:14:44Shouldn't the net effect be with stupid prices like this,

00:14:48that people just stop wanting things so badly?

00:14:50Yes.

00:14:50Like, fuck it.

00:14:51I won't have lights.

00:14:51Yeah, that's it.

00:14:52All right.

00:14:53It's time for me to do the inevitable,

00:14:54which is check to see if I could buy this on eBay for a lot less.

00:14:57We have a whole photo shoot that we did in the Christmas Village.

00:15:01This is adorable.

00:15:02Oh, I like the performances.

00:15:04Probably going to choose one as our ridiculous Christmas card,

00:15:06much to our family's chivalry.

00:15:07Time to buy Christmas spirit.

00:15:09Look, I'm over there doing price check.

00:15:11Coming back with the data.

00:15:12The verdict is...

00:15:13$46 is the list.

00:15:15That is a lot of money.

00:15:16I mean, I think it's awesome.

00:15:18If it's not on eBay, it must be new this year.

00:15:20How many noodles you get?

00:15:21One, two, three, four.

00:15:23Four noodles.

00:15:24I mean, if you just got the noodles,

00:15:27you're talking nearly $12 a noodle.

00:15:29So go ahead, help yourself.

00:15:31Good reading.

00:15:32Wonderful reading, Gloria.

00:15:33I just need a pillow, glass of milk, and then I'm sold.

00:15:36You like the Oreos with the Oreos inside?

00:15:38That is the last of the macaronis.

00:15:39I think we're done here.

00:15:40I think we're done.

00:15:41John's cart is empty?

00:15:42I couldn't even find my ornament hangers.

00:15:44Didn't have Christmas essentials.

00:15:47We're gonna have to go to like Walmart.

00:15:48We didn't even get a chance to look at the impulse buys.

00:15:50Like Miracle Snow.

00:15:51I think I'm okay.

00:15:52Yeah.

00:15:52White trees.

00:15:53Nice in theory, not for me.

00:15:55They belong in retail, but they don't belong in homes.

00:15:57Yes.

00:15:58Find a nice fake silver one.

00:15:59Or decorate a palm tree.

00:16:01The whole place is scented.

00:16:02I should add that.

00:16:03Yeah, cinnamon.

00:16:04Cinnamon.

00:16:05Cinnamon.

00:16:06Cinnamon.

00:16:07It's like in Disney World where they put out

00:16:09the smell into Main Street of cookies and vanilla.

00:16:12That's employees only, my friend.

00:16:13Employees only.

00:16:14She wants to look in that cart.

00:16:15You can look through the crack.

00:16:16You can see Santa's elves working in their fishnets.

00:16:18So would you ever go back in there?

00:16:20It was fun to visit.

00:16:21I'd check it again next year.

00:16:22I'm left feeling empty inside.

00:16:24No, I'm not empty.

00:16:25I'm just a little disappointed.

00:16:26Does it cancel Christmas?

00:16:27Are we Hanukkah people now?

00:16:28Yep.

00:16:29Oh, Hanukkah, Hanukkah, Lila Minora.

00:16:33Hello, John Hunt here.

00:16:34And we're back again for another fabulous game of That's Too Much.

00:16:44So it's been 12 years since we've last played this game.

00:16:47Yeah, we played it on a podcast in 2012, December 2012.

00:16:50You and I are the only ones that are here that played then.

00:16:54Yes.

00:16:54I was laying on the floor in the back of the car.

00:16:56Yes, there's a secret Nina.

00:16:58If you look at that video, there's a secret moment of Nina you can see.

00:17:01The game is That's Too Much.

00:17:03That's Too Much.

00:17:04There's three rounds.

00:17:04The basic premise of the game, I'm going to tell you the item and its retail value.

00:17:08You have to tell me how much you think I would pay for that item without going over.

00:17:14So, you know, it's been so many years.

00:17:16We've done so much more content and we've never returned to That's Too Much.

00:17:20We never have.

00:17:20Given that your cheapness is such a feature of the channel

00:17:24and given that prices have, what, doubled since then?

00:17:27Yeah, we're going to look at some interesting stats because

00:17:29we're going to do some new questions and some retro questions,

00:17:32questions from the original show that I've bought back and updated.

00:17:35We're going to see just how much have prices increased.

00:17:38Just how much?

00:17:39And just how much?

00:17:40And just how much have I been willing to increase what I'm going to pay?

00:17:44I am buying fewer things and I'm only paying a little bit more.

00:17:47In some cases, just pennies.

00:17:49There are some items that haven't really risen in price whatsoever.

00:17:53The one that always gets me, and this will be, you know, relevant to the panel.

00:17:56Yeah.

00:17:57Video games are still 60 bucks.

00:17:59Yeah, they were 60 bucks when we were,

00:18:00when I was, like, in the 90s.

00:18:02For Super Nintendo.

00:18:02Or even Nintendo 64 was, like, 70 bucks.

00:18:05Yeah.

00:18:05It's the coolest video game ever.

00:18:07I'm sorry, honey, but those games cost up to and including $70.

00:18:11And PS5, I guess, is 70 bucks now, but that's much different money.

00:18:15Like, that's half the money it used to be in the early 90s.

00:18:17Especially, I think, when they went to, like, disc medium.

00:18:20It's much cheaper.

00:18:21Oh, yeah. Well, now it's all digital.

00:18:22They don't even have to make the disc.

00:18:23And the digital ones are more expensive.

00:18:25Yes, they are.

00:18:26They make it up in volume.

00:18:27The biggest games sell a lot more copies these days than they did back then.

00:18:30We're going to have three rounds.

00:18:32We got two teams here.

00:18:33We got Nina and Frankie from Westport, Massachusetts.

00:18:35Married how many years now?

00:18:36Married 15, dating for 24.

00:18:39And we've got EJ and Jason, who have just met today for the first time.

00:18:42We got them beat.

00:18:43Our first round is called Pinching Pennies.

00:18:46I'm going to tell you an item.

00:18:47You're going to have to guess how much you think I would pay for that item.

00:18:50And I do want to add, people might be wondering, what's Zach's role?

00:18:53Yes.

00:18:53Well, obviously, he's monitoring audio.

00:18:55I'm also keeping score.

00:18:56And he's keeping score.

00:18:58Once per round, we are allowed to say, hey, Zach, what do you think?

00:19:01That's right.

00:19:02You can call on Zach because Zach knows me and Zach knows price is pretty good, I think.

00:19:06You're going to answer as a team.

00:19:07You're each going to answer individually.

00:19:09The person who is closest, doesn't matter if you're over or under, is going to get one point.

00:19:13If you were exact, you get one extra point.

00:19:15You get 15 seconds maximum to answer the question.

00:19:18Oh, boy.

00:19:18All right.

00:19:18Our first item, and this is a retro item, by the way.

00:19:21This is an item we had in our last game.

00:19:23So it's coming back again.

00:19:24Sam's Clearly American Diet Soda One Liter Bottle.

00:19:28Now, in 2012, I would have paid 60 cents for that bottle.

00:19:32One liter bottle.

00:19:33Sam's Clearly American Grape Flavored Drink.

00:19:35The actual price that I would be willing to pay, 60 cents.

00:19:39How much would I pay today?

00:19:41Frankie, your team's going to answer first.

00:19:4678 cents.

00:19:4878 cents.

00:19:49EJ and Jason?

00:19:50I feel like he doesn't like the stuff enough to buy, to pay anymore.

00:19:55Yeah, I'm going to say 60 cents.

00:19:5660 cents.

00:19:57The actual price I am willing to pay is 80 cents.

00:20:02However, that was the exact price they sell it for right now.

00:20:06How did you know?

00:20:07Because I shop.

00:20:08Team Frankie and Nina get a point there.

00:20:10I just pay for it and I don't even look at the prices.

00:20:13There's flames behind you.

00:20:14So recently, for my nephew's birthday, I wanted to get him a wallet

00:20:18because he had some money hanging around.

00:20:20He wanted a wallet.

00:20:20He's six years old.

00:20:21In the wallet, I wanted to put a special little gift.

00:20:23I wanted to put a $2 bill.

00:20:25Can't find $2 bills anywhere anymore.

00:20:27How much am I willing to pay for a $2 bill?

00:20:31EJ and Jason are going to answer first.

00:20:32$2.

00:20:33I have many in my wallet.

00:20:34I think like five.

00:20:38Wow, okay.

00:20:39It's for, what I just heard was, it's for his nephew.

00:20:41I think he's willing to pay up to like six bucks.

00:20:43John is a changed man with nieces and nephews.

00:20:46That's a very good point.

00:20:47So what's your number is?

00:20:49Five.

00:20:49Five bucks.

00:20:50Team Jason and EJ are closer because I'm willing to pay $2.75 for that $2 bill.

00:20:55That is what I actually had to pay.

00:20:56I went to the bank and let me tell you, they gave me such a stink face.

00:21:00So that point goes to EJ and Jason.

00:21:02Nice.

00:21:03Good job, Jason.

00:21:03He's carrying the team.

00:21:06This is another retro question, back again from 2012.

00:21:09A double box of cinnamon toast crunch, but it's crushed.

00:21:14Okay.

00:21:14It's been damaged.

00:21:15Are you one of those guys that like buys like the like dented pans and everything?

00:21:18You're damn right.

00:21:19Botulism.

00:21:20Yeah, it's where they find like a lot of people.

00:21:22I know how to check for botulism in my pans.

00:21:25In 2012, I would have paid $4.15.

00:21:29Frankie and Nini are going to go first this time.

00:21:31What would I pay today?

00:21:33I think it's not much more.

00:21:34I think it's the same.

00:21:35Yeah, $4.15.

00:21:36$4.15.

00:21:37$4.15.

00:21:38EJ and Jason.

00:21:39What do you think?

00:21:42$5.30.

00:21:44All right, sure.

00:21:45The actual amount I am willing to pay is $4.50.

00:21:50A slight increase.

00:21:52That means Frankie and Nina are a little closer.

00:21:54So you guys get the point.

00:21:55Yeah.

00:21:56I think this is going to be a theme.

00:21:59The theme being I'm willing to spend a little.

00:22:03A little tiny.

00:22:04I don't think you're not going to hold at 2012 prices.

00:22:06You wouldn't be able to live.

00:22:08$0.35 more in 12 years.

00:22:11I thought he had grown as a person.

00:22:12Like, I don't need to get the damaged good.

00:22:15I'm just going to...

00:22:16Oh, Nina.

00:22:17No, I definitely still need the damaged good.

00:22:19But once we get to the next round,

00:22:20you're going to be shocked at some of the things.

00:22:22Oh, boy.

00:22:23So, you know, over the years,

00:22:24I still pinch pennies on the little things,

00:22:26but I spent lavishly on the big things.

00:22:28Have you, as you were watching the old show,

00:22:30were you like, oh, wow, that's what I thought back then?

00:22:32I was shocked how deal focused I was.

00:22:35The thing about it, you were saving.

00:22:37I was.

00:22:38You were compounding.

00:22:39Now you're burning it all down.

00:22:41Definitely not.

00:22:42All right.

00:22:42Next question for EJ and Jason.

00:22:44A box of Kraft three cheese macaroni and cheese.

00:22:49How much am I willing to pay for that?

00:22:52I'm going to ask Zach.

00:22:53Oh, good.

00:22:54Good use of Zach.

00:22:55Uh, I would say $1.25.

00:22:58All right, I'm locking it in.

00:22:59Locking it in.

00:23:00$1.25.

00:23:01Frankie and Nina?

00:23:01This is your area.

00:23:02Yeah, I'm thinking like $2.50, maybe even like $2.60.

00:23:06Let's go $2.50 because we don't have to go too high because they went $1.25.

00:23:09He's making faces, so I'm obviously wrong.

00:23:10Oh, the tell, the tell.

00:23:13I was going to go $1.79.

00:23:15Okay, $1.79.

00:23:16$1.79.

00:23:17Okay.

00:23:18The actual price I am willing to pay is $1.19.

00:23:21For deluxe?

00:23:22No, this isn't deluxe.

00:23:24This is a box of Kraft three cheese.

00:23:25Oh, I messed up.

00:23:26So you guys definitely get it.

00:23:28You're only six cents off Zach.

00:23:29Very good.

00:23:32I was thinking deluxe the whole time.

00:23:33What would you pay for deluxe?

00:23:34I would pay $3.

00:23:36Yeah, as I was like $2.75.

00:23:38Usually most of the sale prices on Kraft is like four for five.

00:23:42Sometimes you can find it for $1.19 or a dollar, very rarely.

00:23:46All right, here's another retro question from 2012.

00:23:49I am out at a yard sale and I see on the table a copy of Super Mario World for SNES.

00:23:55Back in 2012, I would have paid a mere $3.50 for that copy of Super Mario World on that yard sale table.

00:24:04This whole section of the couch is like very scandalized.

00:24:07As for Mario World, it's pretty good.

00:24:09However, the cape breaks the game and Mario 3 is better.

00:24:12How much would I pay today?

00:24:14But keep in mind that I already have a ton of copies.

00:24:17Yeah, I was gonna say.

00:24:18I was gonna say.

00:24:19What scenario is that?

00:24:20You don't have it currently?

00:24:22I have 13 copies of that game, including two sealed copies.

00:24:26So the question is how cheap did it have to be to make it worth your while to get it yet another one?

00:24:29That's right.

00:24:30Even though he has a million of them.

00:24:31Everybody knows how expensive the retro gaming market has become.

00:24:34If you see a good deal on a retro game, you can't really pass it up because it's only gonna appreciate.

00:24:40I'm gonna go with, you know, eight bucks, I think.

00:24:44Eight bucks.

00:24:45Yeah.

00:24:46EJ and Jason.

00:24:46I feel like the price should be zero if this is logistic.

00:24:49You should just always find the fine for someone else.

00:24:52Do you want to go higher or lower?

00:24:53Oh, yeah.

00:24:54I kind of want to go lower.

00:24:56I go, uh...

00:24:57I want to do five bucks.

00:24:58You have got it exactly five dollars I would pay.

00:25:02So that's two points for team EJ and Jason.

00:25:04Well, then you're insane.

00:25:05You would pass up an eight dollar Super Mario World?

00:25:07I have so many of them.

00:25:09Here's the thing is I only have one and I might pass that up for eight bucks.

00:25:12So it's like, I already got one.

00:25:14They're worth about 25 dollars.

00:25:15Yeah, but is he gonna sell them?

00:25:16Like, what are you gonna do?

00:25:17Put them on eBay?

00:25:17Am I gonna really put in the effort to make 15 bucks on eBay?

00:25:20Yeah, you're gonna pay eBay 20% or something.

00:25:23Last question in this round.

00:25:24The item is a mega roll of paper towels.

00:25:28EJ and Jason, how much would I pay?

00:25:30It's a mega roll, so that's 177 towels.

00:25:33Again, I'm probably the worst at this game

00:25:35because I just go to the grocery store and put it on the cart.

00:25:39I give the man the money and I don't question anything.

00:25:43And your paper towel problem is solved for months.

00:25:45I'm gonna say 225.

00:25:46He's closer to reality, probably.

00:25:48And remember, this is the last...

00:25:50If you want to call in Zach, this is your last chance this round.

00:25:52Zach, can we get a...

00:25:53Oh, God.

00:25:53Because I was thinking 180.

00:25:55I was gonna say 179, so...

00:25:58Okay.

00:25:58Okay, 180, and your guess was?

00:26:00225.

00:26:01225.

00:26:02The actual price I would pay is 199,

00:26:05which means Frankie and Nina get the point.

00:26:07Dang.

00:26:07And Zach.

00:26:08He's got a couple points himself.

00:26:09Yeah, so far, he is really showing his value.

00:26:11End of round, bonus question.

00:26:13When I'm in the supermarket, I'm constantly adding up

00:26:16what I'm buying as I put it into the cart.

00:26:17I always keep a mental total.

00:26:18I always know where I'm going.

00:26:19Incredible.

00:26:20In this round, how much did I spend?

00:26:23Oh.

00:26:24Oh, s***.

00:26:25Oh.

00:26:27Two points for the closest answer.

00:26:28Thank goodness I'm used up.

00:26:32It was about 30 bucks.

00:26:34Yeah, I'm gonna say $13.

00:26:36What, like that's it for everything?

00:26:37Yeah.

00:26:38That was like 30.

00:26:393-0.

00:26:40The actual amount of everything that I talked about so far is 1623.

00:26:44Oh, that's it?

00:26:44Frankie and Nina get two points.

00:26:46I do the same thing John does.

00:26:48Okay, we're on to round two.

00:26:50Two points if you're correct, and two points if you're exact.

00:26:53The category is Never Pay Retail.

00:26:54I'm going to tell you the item and the retail price, and you tell me what I would pay, okay?

00:26:59Okay.

00:27:00First, we have a retro question.

00:27:01Six-foot pre-lit Christmas tree with traditional lights.

00:27:05The retail price in 2012 was $229, and I was only willing to pay $79, okay?

00:27:13How much would be too much for me to pay for that tree?

00:27:16Now, keep in mind, I...

00:27:17You're not paying retail.

00:27:18I'm not getting...

00:27:18There's no way in hell I'm paying retail.

00:27:21So Frankie, you're going to go first.

00:27:22What would I be willing to pay for that tree now?

00:27:25The retail price of which is $374.99.

00:27:30Holy mackerel.

00:27:30Holy shit.

00:27:31$119.

00:27:32Yeah, all right.

00:27:33We're going to lock in $119.

00:27:34$119.

00:27:35He wanted to pay $79.

00:27:37I'm just going to do $100.

00:27:39Sure.

00:27:39The actual price I'm willing to pay is $150.

00:27:42That means Frankie and Nina get two points.

00:27:44The gulf is widening.

00:27:46It's okay.

00:27:47You can still make it up.

00:27:48For a couple years now, I have been persevating over buying a new TV to replace this one.

00:27:52The TV I have selected that I want is a Sony Bravia XR 77-inch A95L OLED TV, 4K resolution.

00:28:02Retail's $4,600.

00:28:02We learned that on my trip.

00:28:04I want to buy a new OLED, 77-incher.

00:28:06And it's like $4,600 and I just have never been able to make myself do it.

00:28:10Yeah, retail is $4,699.

00:28:13How much would I be willing to pay for that TV?

00:28:16And Jason and EJ, you're going to go first.

00:28:17I think he needs a good quarter off.

00:28:20So what would that be?

00:28:22So, I don't know.

00:28:23That would be...

00:28:24Like a thousand bucks off?

00:28:25Yeah, something like that.

00:28:27So what, like 3.8, 3.7, something like that.

00:28:31I need your final answer.

00:28:32Do 3.7.

00:28:333,700.

00:28:34Okay, Frankie, what's your bid?

00:28:35I'm just Googling what is 30% off of 4,600.

00:28:38So yeah, you would pay, John, $3,250 for this TV.

00:28:42Okay.

00:28:42The actual price I would pay is $3,499.

00:28:46Oh my God.

00:28:48They're killing it.

00:28:49That means Frankie's closer and you get two points.

00:28:52I just had to...

00:28:52Wait, was he?

00:28:53What did he guess?

00:28:54You guessed...

00:28:553,250.

00:28:563,250 and you were...

00:28:583,700.

00:28:58We were 3,700.

00:28:59Oh, you're right.

00:29:00Yes, you're correct.

00:29:04The next item, I am at Savers and lately I've been making puzzles.

00:29:07I like building puzzles with my friends and I bought this very puzzle.

00:29:11Okay.

00:29:12The retail price of this puzzle, if bought new on Amazon, is $15.

00:29:18Ridiculous, I know.

00:29:19How much would I pay for this puzzle?

00:29:21What's the price per piece?

00:29:2315 bucks.

00:29:25Okay.

00:29:26We all know that he can find one of these at a church fair yard sale.

00:29:28Savers is also slightly overpriced.

00:29:30I'm shocked you bought it at Savers.

00:29:31I'm picturing them putting it at Savers at like 499.

00:29:34Not that I would pay 499.

00:29:35Savers is becoming like Goodwill.

00:29:37Yeah, I don't even know.

00:29:37299 is what I'm thinking.

00:29:38We don't have that in Florida.

00:29:40I need your final answer, please.

00:29:42299.

00:29:42What do we think over here?

00:29:45Then I guess we'll go higher.

00:29:47490.

00:29:48Sure.

00:29:48499.

00:29:49The correct answer is 249.

00:29:51That means Frankie and Ina get those two points.

00:29:53Incredible that you'd go higher.

00:29:55I don't know.

00:29:57Oh, he really wants that puzzle.

00:29:58All right.

00:29:59It's time for another retro question.

00:30:01In 2012, I mentioned that I was looking at 1,100-watt heavy-duty commercial microwaves.

00:30:07The one that makes ghosts?

00:30:09Not that one.

00:30:09The microwave is full of ghosts.

00:30:11I'm sorry.

00:30:13It was 599 at the time.

00:30:16And I was willing to pay $250 for that $599 microwave.

00:30:20Today, that same microwave is $674.

00:30:25How much am I willing to pay for it?

00:30:26Same price.

00:30:27He hasn't budged.

00:30:28I don't know.

00:30:28Maybe a little bit higher.

00:30:29Okay.

00:30:30Do you want to go to 300?

00:30:31275.

00:30:31No, 275.

00:30:32275.

00:30:33275.

00:30:33275!

00:30:35Smart strategy.

00:30:36I think we should go 300.

00:30:37I think this is the category where John's prices have gone up.

00:30:41Okay.

00:30:42300.

00:30:42Okay.

00:30:43The correct answer is I'm still willing to pay only $250.

00:30:46We're actually totally right.

00:30:47So you get two points.

00:30:49He's not budging.

00:30:50He's not budging.

00:30:51He's a liar.

00:30:52Well, do you want to explain that one to us at all?

00:30:54That I wouldn't want to budge on the price?

00:30:55Yeah.

00:30:56I just don't want to pay any more.

00:30:58See, I feel like he would pay more if he needed a microwave.

00:31:00I think sometimes it depends on if he's actually needing it.

00:31:03Yeah.

00:31:03All right.

00:31:04Next item.

00:31:04This is a premium designer Zafrino Pina Pro cordless LED table lamp in brown.

00:31:10It is a beautiful lamp.

00:31:12I love the light it casts.

00:31:13It is truly lovely.

00:31:14It is nice, actually.

00:31:15I didn't even know that was a lamp.

00:31:16It is rechargeable, has a 14-hour battery life, has contact.

00:31:19It is IP54 rated, so it can go outside in the rain.

00:31:23The retail price of this lamp is $160.

00:31:27Whoa.

00:31:28How much was I willing to pay for it?

00:31:30Very complicated question, I think.

00:31:33He's got so much information on it.

00:31:34He's invested.

00:31:35He enjoys the specs of it.

00:31:37You're inferring from this, he loves this item.

00:31:38That he has valued this.

00:31:40Okay.

00:31:40All right.

00:31:41I'm going to go with my wife, $69.

00:31:43$69.

00:31:44EJ and Jason, what do you think?

00:31:45She was thinking exactly what I was thinking.

00:31:47You know, you're very enthusiastic about these lamps.

00:31:50What do they guess?

00:31:51$69.

00:31:52$70.

00:31:53$70.

00:31:54We're going to undercut them.

00:31:55The actual price I was willing to pay for this lamp, $109.

00:32:00So that means EJ and Jason get two points.

00:32:02We didn't know you loved it that much.

00:32:04Nobody's been utilizing Zach this round.

00:32:06Zach is still available for both of you.

00:32:07And we're on the last question of the round.

00:32:09Oh, Zach's hanging.

00:32:09We're both going to ask?

00:32:10Let's call this the Zach round.

00:32:12Okay.

00:32:13The item is, one of the only things that I still use all the time is my phone.

00:32:17I want to buy myself a Google Pixel 9 XL one terabyte phone.

00:32:22The retail price of that phone is $1,399.

00:32:26How much do I want to pay?

00:32:29He said he wanted it a generation behind.

00:32:32How much is a generation behind?

00:32:34They go down kind of fast, don't they?

00:32:35Like $650?

00:32:37Yeah.

00:32:37They'd probably be cutting like half.

00:32:39Let's do $650.

00:32:41Zach, what do you think?

00:32:44We think 30% off, which would come out to $979.

00:32:48That's too much.

00:32:49Smartphones are expensive.

00:32:51And he knows.

00:32:52Oh, I know he knows it.

00:32:53I would say between $725, $750.

00:32:56We could do $700 and then we'll still...

00:32:58Yeah.

00:32:59$650 and $700.

00:33:01The actual price I'm willing to pay $799.

00:33:03Oh.

00:33:04That means Frankie and Nina get the two points.

00:33:06So John, you want like 40% off of retail on that?

00:33:10I do.

00:33:10Heavy duty piece of equipment.

00:33:12They don't make many of the one terabyte ones

00:33:14because that's not a common amount of memory for them, so.

00:33:16But we're spending $3,000 on lamps.

00:33:19Let me tell you, Nina, I just ordered two more for Black Friday.

00:33:22I paid $109.

00:33:23What are you doing with them?

00:33:24I just love them.

00:33:25I put them all around the house.

00:33:27And caress them.

00:33:28I played them and I cherished them.

00:33:30All right, we're going to enter the lightning round right now.

00:33:33I'm going to give you an item and I'm going to tell you the price

00:33:36and you tell me too much or not too much.

00:33:39Do we remember in 2012, you had a soundboard?

00:33:42Oh, too much.

00:33:44And there was a sound effect for it.

00:33:45That's not enough.

00:33:46That's not enough.

00:33:48Was there a round intended to be like, I need to pay more than that?

00:33:52There was.

00:33:53We were 45 minutes into that episode.

00:33:55It was supposed to be like 30 minutes.

00:33:57And I just cut a whole round, which was, this is not enough.

00:34:01I remember one of the items I had on there was a toaster from Walmart for $4.88.

00:34:06That is too little to pay for a toaster.

00:34:08But that was the days before Timu.

00:34:10Because now I'm sure you could find one on YouTube.

00:34:12You're absolutely right, Nina.

00:34:13You could probably find a toaster.

00:34:14I wouldn't do it.

00:34:15Yeah, your toaster would be this big.

00:34:17Do you buy anything from Timu?

00:34:18I do.

00:34:22All right, ready to start the round?

00:34:23Yes.

00:34:24It's an after Christmas sale.

00:34:25Christmas is gone and done.

00:34:26It's 100 colored lights, not LED, at Lowe's.

00:34:30$2.50 for that 100 pack of colored lights.

00:34:33Is that too much or not too much?

00:34:35Frankie?

00:34:35That's not too much.

00:34:37Clearly not too much.

00:34:37Not too much.

00:34:38You're right.

00:34:38Not too much.

00:34:39One pound of premium Italian ground sausage at Market Basket.

00:34:43My favorite brand.

00:34:44$2.99.

00:34:47That's not too much.

00:34:48Not too much.

00:34:49That's not too much.

00:34:49Not too much.

00:34:50That's right.

00:34:51Not too much.

00:34:51You both get a point.

00:34:52That's a good price.

00:34:53Do we get to use him in the lightning round?

00:34:55You can call on Zach in the lightning round once if you'd like.

00:34:58Absolutely.

00:34:58Once.

00:34:59A large roll of Christmas wrapping paper in June for $2.

00:35:04Wrapping paper.

00:35:06That's too much.

00:35:07I want to stay in lockstep.

00:35:08That's too much.

00:35:09That's not too much.

00:35:12So nobody gets points that round.

00:35:13You would get it?

00:35:14I would get it for $2 in June.

00:35:16The next item is this under computer power strip switch

00:35:20that was originally from $2,000 at Savers for $12.

00:35:24Is that too much or not too much?

00:35:26That's not too much.

00:35:28Not too much.

00:35:29Not too much.

00:35:30It's too much.

00:35:30What?

00:35:31I was only willing to pay $10 for this item at Savers.

00:35:34$2 means you don't bring that home?

00:35:36$2 means I don't bring that home.

00:35:38Next item, I'm at Lowe's and I'm at the plant clearance area

00:35:41and there's a hosta on the clearance rack,

00:35:43originally $9.98, now $7.

00:35:46Is that too much or not too much?

00:35:48A what?

00:35:49A hosta.

00:35:50It's an outdoor plant.

00:35:51It's pronounced hosta.

00:35:52Hosta.

00:35:52That's too much.

00:35:53And...

00:35:54That's too much.

00:35:55Yeah, he wants five bucks for hosta.

00:35:56The answer is that's too much.

00:35:59So Frankie and Nina get a point.

00:36:00What are you paying?

00:36:01That's what I said.

00:36:01I'm paying $4.

00:36:03That's what, yeah.

00:36:03Didn't you say it was too much?

00:36:04Yeah, that's what I said.

00:36:04I said that it was too much.

00:36:06He said it so casually.

00:36:08Yeah, it was hard for my brain.

00:36:09Get any kind of info from it at all.

00:36:12That's too much.

00:36:13I'm on my way to work in the morning.

00:36:14I'm feeling a little bit peckish today.

00:36:16I'm thinking about a McDonald's breakfast burrito,

00:36:18but I see that they're $1.59.

00:36:21Is that too much or not too much?

00:36:23That's not too much.

00:36:24That's not too much.

00:36:25It's too much!

00:36:26What?

00:36:2699 cents is all I'm willing to pay for a McDonald's breakfast burrito.

00:36:30Well, you're never eating there again.

00:36:31They're two for $3.33.

00:36:33Yeah.

00:36:33Remember when they had Mondays, hamburgers were 29 cents?

00:36:37Yes, and cheeseburgers were 39.

00:36:3939 cents for a cheeseburger.

00:36:40And the cheeseburger was like three times as good.

00:36:42Okay, I'm at the Surplus Auction Store in Fall River,

00:36:45and they've got a 40-ounce bag of Cod frozen fillets for $5.50.

00:36:51That's not too much.

00:36:52That's not too much.

00:36:52That's not too much, but I want Zach's opinion.

00:36:54Yeah, that's not too much.

00:36:55That's not too much?

00:36:56You're right.

00:36:57You both get a point.

00:36:58This knitted sweater I'm wearing right now for $20.

00:37:02Too much or not too much?

00:37:03That's not too much.

00:37:04No.

00:37:04Yeah, he would pay for that.

00:37:06That's too much. That's too much.

00:37:07That's too much?

00:37:08It is, in fact, too much.

00:37:10I was only willing to pay $16, so Jason and EJ get a point.

00:37:14It's a lot of child labor for 16 bucks.

00:37:16Our next item, this olive oil sprayer that I got on Timu.

00:37:20Does this include shipping?

00:37:21This included shipping, yes.

00:37:22Okay.

00:37:23$3.96.

00:37:25Do I really want to spray my olive oil that bad?

00:37:28Too much or not too much?

00:37:30I think it's too much.

00:37:32I hate the whole thing.

00:37:33That's too much.

00:37:34That's a $1 item at Dollar Tree.

00:37:36Yeah, I think it's too much.

00:37:37I agree.

00:37:38You're both wrong.

00:37:39It's not too much.

00:37:41You had to wait 15 weeks from China to get it.

00:37:44But does your olive oil smell like plastic now?

00:37:46Next.

00:37:46Next item, the fake Chinese knockoff of the Mina Pro LED.

00:37:51He's not buying this.

00:37:52Oh, yeah.

00:37:53It's already too much.

00:37:53Whatever it is, he doesn't want the knockoff.

00:37:56Did you get that at Timu?

00:37:57I did get it at Timu.

00:37:58Is $20 too much or not too much?

00:38:01No, too much.

00:38:01That's too much.

00:38:02That's too much.

00:38:02You're right.

00:38:03You're both right.

00:38:04That's too much.

00:38:05I was actually only willing to pay $12 for the knockoff version, and it's not worth it.

00:38:10Final item in the round, this party size bag.

00:38:15He pulled it out of a hat.

00:38:16Barbecue potato chips that I bought for the summer party that didn't end up getting used.

00:38:21This family size bag, $3.

00:38:24That's too much.

00:38:24Do we want to stay with them?

00:38:26We'd be playing for the tie.

00:38:27We'd be playing for the tie.

00:38:29That's not too much.

00:38:30We're playing for the tie.

00:38:30Do you think it's too much?

00:38:31$3?

00:38:32I think that's too much for a summer party.

00:38:34It's not too much.

00:38:35So EJ and Jason get the point.

00:38:37The bag fired, and we still got it.

00:38:38That means that EJ and Jason are our winners for today.

00:38:41Great competition, everyone.

00:38:43That was incredibly played.

00:38:44I think these two cute kids are going to laugh.

00:38:48Thank you so much for playing.

00:38:50That's too much.

00:38:51That's too much.

00:38:52How does it feel to lose something that you know about your best friend,

00:39:00like you know him for so many years?

00:39:02How does it feel?

00:39:03Well, Gloria, John remains a mystery.

00:39:06You heard it, folks.

00:39:08And let's give it up.

00:39:09Our main winners.

00:39:12Do you like winning?

00:39:14I love winning, let me tell you.

00:39:16Frankie Frain put up a good fight, but when we put our heads together, no match.

00:39:20Didn't stand a chance.

00:39:22I want to thank my parents.

00:39:24I want to thank the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:39:26And I want to thank the guy who carried me through this.

00:39:30Well, you heard it, folks.

00:39:32Now it is time for the end of What's Too Much.

00:39:41What's Too Much.

00:39:42What's Too Much.

00:39:43Everything's too much.

00:39:44Frankie and Jason, we're going to make my favorite Christmas cake.

00:39:48This is an apple cinnamon cake.

00:39:49I've got an authentic 1970s Bundt pan with the original Teflon one coating.

00:39:56I've used some butter Crisco and I've dusted it with a little bit of flour.

00:39:59Is there a significance to this cake?

00:40:00What's, why are you making the cake?

00:40:02First of all, it's a delicious Christmas cake.

00:40:03You're going to love it.

00:40:05But it is also a cake my mother used to make.

00:40:07It's my mother's recipe.

00:40:08I've changed it just a little tiny bit.

00:40:10It was always one of my favorite cakes growing up.

00:40:12She would often make it for Christmas.

00:40:13So for me, it's a really kind of Christmassy cake and has a ton of apple in it.

00:40:17It also has a lot of cinnamon in it to give it a real cinnamony flavor and a real dark color.

00:40:21It's also a pretty dense cake.

00:40:22It's kind of thick and it'll keep well as well.

00:40:24So you can keep it for like seven days in the kitchen.

00:40:26It'll last pretty good.

00:40:27What enhancements did you make to her recipe?

00:40:29I added more cinnamon and a little more vanilla.

00:40:32And I also changed the type and number of apples.

00:40:34She just used Granny Smith apples and that makes a very nice cake.

00:40:38But I found that over the years,

00:40:39if I mix Granny Smith with a couple other kinds of apples, I get an even better cake.

00:40:43I've got two Granny Smith apples.

00:40:45I've got two Macintosh apples and I've got one Pink Lady apple.

00:40:48All the different apple flavors really make a nice combination.

00:40:51Did she leave behind the recipe?

00:40:52I mean, did you have it available?

00:40:53Yeah, I did.

00:40:54We're going to start with a cup of vegetable oil.

00:40:56I always use corn oil.

00:40:58I'm not normally, I've famously hot apples and things.

00:41:02The idea is that you don't usually eat the cake hot.

00:41:05You let it kind of cool.

00:41:06But you see what I'm saying about hot apples?

00:41:07Yes.

00:41:08I like apple crisp because of the crisp part.

00:41:10Yeah.

00:41:10Apple part feels unnecessary.

00:41:11Yes.

00:41:11I mean, I think the best part about this is actually the cake

00:41:14and the apple just kind of adds to the experience.

00:41:16You don't like little tiny hot apple slugs?

00:41:21It sounds like you get it.

00:41:22It's actually German in origin, I guess.

00:41:24I've got three duck eggs here.

00:41:26Duck eggs?

00:41:26Duck eggs.

00:41:27You ever have duck eggs?

00:41:28Never.

00:41:29They are amazing, let me tell you.

00:41:30Really?

00:41:31The yolk is so much more rich and flavorful than the chicken egg.

00:41:33If you don't have duck eggs at home, which you may not,

00:41:35you can use two large chicken eggs and it comes out pretty good.

00:41:38They are fattier.

00:41:39They bind a little differently.

00:41:40We're all going to be duck walking out of here.

00:41:42Yeah.

00:41:42You can use the technique of cracking the egg on the table,

00:41:45not on the edge of the bowl.

00:41:46Just got the oil and eggs in here so far.

00:41:48Now we're going to add in our sugar.

00:41:49We've got two cups of white sugar.

00:41:50This is not a low sugar recipe.

00:41:53Oh my God.

00:41:54Over the course of a whole cake, I guess.

00:41:55Yes.

00:41:56That much?

00:41:57Oh my, you're going in for a whole other spoonful.

00:42:00That's almost as much apple as in...

00:42:03As sugar?

00:42:04Yeah.

00:42:04You got your tablet all sugared.

00:42:05Is that one of the things you check for before you buy anything?

00:42:07Yes, absolutely.

00:42:08It's got to be sugar resistant and flour resistant.

00:42:12Pure vanilla extract here.

00:42:13This is not imitation or anything.

00:42:15I'm going to use two teaspoons.

00:42:17It's not made out of like beaver ass or whatever?

00:42:19No, it is the full alcohol content.

00:42:22They extract something that's similar to the chemical from a beaver's ass,

00:42:28which tastes like vanilla, I guess.

00:42:30Is that the fat of their butt?

00:42:31Something like residue around their butt.

00:42:33It's getting chunkier now.

00:42:34You could eat just that.

00:42:36You absolutely could.

00:42:37Any idea where she came up with this recipe?

00:42:38I don't know.

00:42:39I think my mother found it originally out of the Providence Journal.

00:42:43She often found great recipes from the newspaper

00:42:45because that was definitely a thing in the lifestyle section.

00:42:46They used to publish lots of great recipes.

00:42:48Yeah.

00:42:49As time goes on, I'm less and less appealed to cake generally.

00:42:53Really?

00:42:53Well, I think the reason is because you don't often get a homemade cake, right?

00:42:56And the dryness.

00:42:57Those store-bought cakes are so disappointing.

00:42:59Even if you go to a professional bakery a lot of the time,

00:43:02you're not going to get a great cake.

00:43:03Yeah.

00:43:03You know what's the best store-bought cake?

00:43:05A Costco tuxedo cake.

00:43:07It is a rectangle of pure deliciousness.

00:43:10It's so rich.

00:43:11Mousse in the middle with very moist chocolate cake.

00:43:13Anything with mint chocolate chip ice cream in it.

00:43:15I mean...

00:43:16Can you even see him behind these chandeliers?

00:43:17Yeah, I can see him.

00:43:18Okay.

00:43:18I don't know if it was like Gandalf.

00:43:19He's like,

00:43:22Jason is setting an all-time height record for the Box Mac kitchen.

00:43:25Until Glow grows up and then...

00:43:28Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall.

00:43:32This is wizardry.

00:43:33Yeah.

00:43:33This is going to turn into a cake?

00:43:35This is going to turn into a cake.

00:43:36That's crazy.

00:43:37Okay, and we need our cinnamon.

00:43:40You make ingredients turn into something else?

00:43:44That's crazy, man.

00:43:45This is like actual wizardry.

00:43:47It's crazy.

00:43:47You're not cooking.

00:43:49Yeah, I do.

00:43:49You're not cooking.

00:43:51Yeah, I do.

00:43:52And I've got my cinnamon here,

00:43:53and I'm going to do a heaping tablespoon of cinnamon.

00:43:56So far, nothing's been less than a heaping tablespoon.

00:43:59It's Christmas.

00:44:00It's time to heap.

00:44:01Tis the heaping season.

00:44:02And you can see even on my directions,

00:44:03it says a heaping half teaspoon of salt.

00:44:06Ah, we're not done heaping.

00:44:07Hurling and heaping.

00:44:08Hurling and heaping.

00:44:09The Jon Hunt story.

00:44:11There's so many possibilities of Jon Hunt stories.

00:44:14I've got my flour, salt, my baking soda, and my cinnamon.

00:44:18So I'm going to fold that in.

00:44:23That reminds me a little bit of the

00:44:24Requiem for a Dream soundtrack.

00:44:29I watched that movie not too long ago.

00:44:30Really?

00:44:30It's still great.

00:44:31It was one of the first movies where I was like,

00:44:37oh, you can like really visually tell a story.

00:44:40Yeah.

00:44:40But now I've seen Kickassia, so I...

00:44:41Yeah, and now you know about visual storytelling.

00:44:45I'm going to slowly mix these two together a little bit,

00:44:47and you're going to see that batter turn a lovely shade of cinnamony brown.

00:44:51Do the apples go in next?

00:44:52The apples will be folded in by hand.

00:44:54The batter is very thick.

00:44:55That is normal.

00:44:56It looks like cockadoody.

00:44:58Doesn't smell too bad.

00:45:00It looks like cockadoodoo.

00:45:02Oh, here's the money shot right here.

00:45:06And then I have to fold them in by hand because they'll be so thick and so appley.

00:45:12All right, I believe that this can be baked into a cake.

00:45:15Yeah, good.

00:45:15I'm glad we made you into a believer.

00:45:17A believer.

00:45:18When was the last time you were around like some cooking?

00:45:20It's been a long, long time.

00:45:21It's fascinating.

00:45:22You don't go into cooking YouTube?

00:45:23No, no.

00:45:24Except for us.

00:45:25This was the last, like the cooking stuff is the last stuff I dabbled into.

00:45:28It took a while.

00:45:29Are you a believer now?

00:45:30Yeah, it's, you know, I'll watch them, you know.

00:45:32He's on BoxMac right now being like, BoxMac's okay.

00:45:35Yeah, it's my least favorite of all the programs.

00:45:37Literally on the show.

00:45:38You shouldn't eat the cake batter.

00:45:39Why?

00:45:40Eating the cake batter.

00:45:40Because of the duck eggs?

00:45:41Because of the raw flour.

00:45:42But it is so delicious.

00:45:43Yeah?

00:45:44May I?

00:45:44You want to have a risk?

00:45:45Would you like to have a risk too?

00:45:46Of course, I want some of that.

00:45:47So what does the raw flour do to you?

00:45:49It's just not pasteurized.

00:45:50So it could potentially have bacteria in it.

00:45:53Pretty good.

00:45:53He's got a real good cinnamon sugar thing happening here.

00:45:56And the apples are not hot apple slugs.

00:46:00The key with this cake is actually to not eat it warm.

00:46:03It's to let it cool as much as possible.

00:46:05So we're going to try to do that as much as we can today.

00:46:06Why do people like hot apples?

00:46:08I don't know.

00:46:08There are certain scenarios in which I like a hot apple.

00:46:11Like if you're serving it with a good vanilla ice cream.

00:46:12Oh yeah, vanilla ice cream, absolutely.

00:46:14But if you're just going to serve me some apple crisp on a plate,

00:46:16I actually want it room temperature or chilled.

00:46:18Apple pie sucks.

00:46:19You know something?

00:46:20You suck.

00:46:21I got to pick and choose the fights.

00:46:22Am I willing to go to war over apple pie?

00:46:24No, but I'll eat it.

00:46:25So this batter is a little tough to work with.

00:46:27On account of the apples.

00:46:28What did you coat it with?

00:46:29Crisco and then a thin layer of flour.

00:46:31When I went to the Plymouth Grist Mill,

00:46:32they were saying that they glue ball their wooden gears with Crisco.

00:46:36Yeah.

00:46:36Because they used to use animal fat.

00:46:37A delicious solution.

00:46:38Okay, I think we're looking pretty good there.

00:46:40I'm just going to try to get the last bit of batter.

00:46:41So here's our apple cake ready to go in the oven.

00:46:43I'm going to stick it in the oven for about 55 minutes

00:46:45and then we'll come back and take a look at it.

00:46:47Okay, yeah, sounds good.

00:46:48I'm going to have a little bit of that apple cake.

00:46:50This is my Christmas toy when I was five years old.

00:46:55Gaylord.

00:46:56The Basset Hound.

00:46:57Mechanical walking dog.

00:46:59Something that I wanted so much and it worked Christmas day.

00:47:03And because it uses the battery so heavily,

00:47:06I think it's like 4D batteries in there.

00:47:08It would burn up the batteries

00:47:09and everybody would think it was broken

00:47:11when it stopped working on the first day.

00:47:13And by Christmas night, I said,

00:47:15it must be broken because he wouldn't walk anymore.

00:47:17So we ended up throwing him away.

00:47:19Years later, my husband found this on eBay.

00:47:22He walks, climbs, barks, picks up his bone.

00:47:26And it's something.

00:47:26He's won first prize.

00:47:28And it looks like it was supposed to be like a doghouse.

00:47:30It says ideal right here.

00:47:31What would the year have been?

00:47:32I was five in 1963.

00:47:3463.

00:47:36It was on TV.

00:47:36There was a commercial that we loved.

00:47:38And then of course you had to have it when you were five.

00:47:40Gaylord!

00:47:44Gaylord, you look kind of crazy.

00:47:47You move kind of lazily.

00:47:49What are you gonna do?

00:47:49So I was like very disappointed Christmas night

00:47:51when my Gaylord wouldn't walk anymore.

00:47:54And we tried to put him on.

00:47:56Nope.

00:47:56Sorry.

00:47:57Gaylord, when you move lazily,

00:48:00he'll walk and he'll walk and he'll walk with you.

00:48:03Gaylord comes with a bone of his own.

00:48:05It does say this toy is guaranteed.

00:48:07Certificate enclosed.

00:48:09Battery operated.

00:48:10Uses 4D sized batteries.

00:48:11It tells you right on the box.

00:48:12So if you're needing to procure your batteries for Christmas.

00:48:15When I got it from eBay,

00:48:16I bought it advertised.

00:48:18It didn't work.

00:48:18I never seen another one.

00:48:20And that's what Nana wanted.

00:48:21You know, that was the toy she had.

00:48:23So I got it anyway.

00:48:24I tried it with batteries.

00:48:25It didn't work.

00:48:26His legs were stuck up in the air.

00:48:28So I thought I'd start taking it apart.

00:48:30I went to remove one of the legs.

00:48:33And the leg moved.

00:48:34And then I tried it again.

00:48:35And the leg went around.

00:48:37Made a revolution.

00:48:39And I thought,

00:48:39I'm gonna put this back together again and try it.

00:48:41The leg was just jammed and off he went.

00:48:44And the tail was broke off.

00:48:45There's hardly anything holding the tail on.

00:48:47So I think everybody's tail broke.

00:48:49You know, there's a lot of plastic gears in there

00:48:51that drive the legs.

00:48:52In 1963, we only had stuffed animals.

00:48:55So when this came out,

00:48:56it was like a big deal.

00:48:57Like a high tech toy.

00:48:58Several times I tried Googling it

00:49:00and see if I could find them on eBay.

00:49:01And I never saw one.

00:49:03And then all of a sudden,

00:49:04I just got the urge to try it again.

00:49:06And bingo, there it was.

00:49:07I think it was out west somewhere.

00:49:08I forget how much it was.

00:49:09About 50 bucks.

00:49:10But now you've got a Gaylord after all that time.

00:49:13He's delicate.

00:49:14Looks like he had a gold medal or something.

00:49:16You see it on there?

00:49:17Yeah, like a first prize.

00:49:18Just give it a little tug.

00:49:20Yeah, you got it.

00:49:22Was that supposed to be him barking?

00:49:241997, probably.

00:49:25We got our own family Basset Hound.

00:49:27Her name was Leia,

00:49:28but you would call her Gaylord all the time.

00:49:30And I didn't even really know why at the time.

00:49:33This is her second day at the frame household.

00:49:35We had a Basset Hound and I wanted a Basset Hound.

00:49:37I didn't really even know why I wanted a Basset Hound.

00:49:40This is why.

00:49:41You are why.

00:49:42So when we had Leia, I'd always say Gaylord.

00:49:46I was like, why do I call her Gaylord?

00:49:48That's why.

00:49:48He's ideal.

00:49:57Let me introduce Last Chance Joe.

00:49:59I found this on eBay.

00:50:01This is the same toy that I had bought for me by an aunt

00:50:05when I was four years old.

00:50:06So that was 73 years ago.

00:50:10Because it's real rubber,

00:50:11it's brittle now.

00:50:12He squeaks, but I wouldn't squeak him

00:50:14because he's gonna break up.

00:50:16You see what already the spur came off of it.

00:50:18You know, I gotta fix that.

00:50:20I googled him, Last Chance Joe,

00:50:22and there's a giant neon sign

00:50:25that looks exactly like him at some business out west.

00:50:29Last Chance Joe took a ride,

00:50:31bright and early this morning,

00:50:32on his way to the Sparks Museum.

00:50:34Last Chance Joe has been a fixture in Sparks

00:50:36for more than 50 years.

00:50:38The new owners of the Nugget

00:50:40decided they were going to redo the front of the building,

00:50:42and Joe just simply didn't fit into their plans.

00:50:45Donors stepped up,

00:50:46and plans were made to move Last Chance Joe across the street

00:50:50and save this giant piece of Nevada history.

00:50:53Well, a lot of school kids don't know

00:50:55whose Last Chance Joe is.

00:50:57They think he's Santa Claus.

00:50:59Genuine rubber, and that's the problem.

00:51:02If this was left out in the light,

00:51:04rubber deteriorates, dries up.

00:51:05It almost becomes like a dried cardboard.

00:51:08That's why I keep them covered in there.

00:51:10Sanitary, durable, squeezable, harmless colors.

00:51:14Boy, they were really, you know.

00:51:16One of the little folks from Sunny Slope,

00:51:19characters of the Tug-A-Long team.

00:51:21From Rempel.

00:51:22Rempel.

00:51:23In Ohio.

00:51:24They would manufacture it here, not in China.

00:51:26No. Oh, wow.

00:51:27In fact, it wouldn't have been China anyway.

00:51:29It would have been Japan,

00:51:30and that was frowned upon then.

00:51:32Still frowned upon then.

00:51:33So when would this be?

00:51:34This would be 1951 or 52.

00:51:41Yep.

00:51:42This is Last Chance Joe's second chance.

00:51:46Frankie, we're going to try some KDKFC,

00:51:49and EJ's going to make us some fried turkey

00:51:51today on Box Mock.

00:52:05So yeah, previously I've already prepared this,

00:52:07and I would have edited and told you everything

00:52:09about what is happening here.

00:52:11Hi, my name is EJ Massa,

00:52:13but you might as well call me Santa Claus,

00:52:15because this year I'm bringing two boxes

00:52:18of KFC flavored Kraft dinner to the Red Cow family.

00:52:23Now, what goes good with macaroni and cheese?

00:52:26How about a holiday turkey cooked

00:52:30like it's crispy chicken?

00:52:32Oh, baby, that's a good idea.

00:52:35And you know what?

00:52:36Better yet, I'm going to do all the prep work right here,

00:52:40and then I'll bring it all over to John Hunt's house

00:52:44so that I can fry it up with the mac and cheese.

00:52:48To start, I have a fresh turkey

00:52:49that's roughly 13 pounds.

00:52:51Now, I find the best way to unwrap these things

00:52:54is an editing joke.

00:52:55Whoa, see, I even got a free baking sheet

00:52:58with that editing joke.

00:53:00Very cool.

00:53:01Now, I've deep fried a whole turkey before,

00:53:03and the results were excellent,

00:53:05but a breading would not survive

00:53:06a whole turkey cook in the fryer.

00:53:08So we're not only going to cut this

00:53:10into the essential pieces,

00:53:12we're also going to sous vide those pieces

00:53:15so that we can guarantee that the turkey

00:53:18will be perfectly cooked

00:53:19and have a nice crispy breading.

00:53:22I'll start by cutting the turkey

00:53:23into its essential parts,

00:53:25and I'll start in the same place

00:53:26when I'm cutting anybody into pieces

00:53:29by removing the spine.

00:53:30Don't be telling the cops that.

00:53:32Don't be a narc.

00:53:33The chicken shears make quick work of that,

00:53:36so then I cut through the wishbone

00:53:38and crack the turkey in half.

00:53:40Now, this is where I'd stop

00:53:42if I wanted to cook the turkey butterflied,

00:53:44but we'll go a bit farther.

00:53:46I cut off the wing tips

00:53:47because those won't be tasty fried.

00:53:50But don't worry, I'll be using them

00:53:51to make a delicious turkey broth.

00:53:54I ran the shears along the breastbone,

00:53:56cutting the turkey cleanly in half.

00:53:58And look, I'm not an expert

00:54:00in cutting turkeys into essential parts.

00:54:02I sort of just freestyle it

00:54:04by taking a sharp knife

00:54:06and finding the seams.

00:54:07Wherever there's a seam,

00:54:09I run the knife along it

00:54:11and use gravity to tease the parts apart

00:54:14and the hindquarters come off easily.

00:54:16I'll do the same thing for the wing,

00:54:19find the seams,

00:54:20slide the knife around

00:54:22with the help of gravity.

00:54:23Then I find the joint

00:54:24between the upper and lower wing

00:54:26and cut those apart.

00:54:27And I find the joint

00:54:28between the thigh and the drumstick

00:54:30and separate those.

00:54:32And there we go.

00:54:33And I'll repeat the process

00:54:34for the other side.

00:54:36And now we have two breast pieces,

00:54:38two thigh pieces,

00:54:39two drumsticks,

00:54:41and two sets of upper

00:54:43and lower wing pieces.

00:54:44Before putting them in bags

00:54:46to sous vide them,

00:54:47we'll season them by sprinkling them

00:54:49with an all-purpose rub.

00:54:50Usually I use my EJ all-purpose rub,

00:54:53which is a knockoff of the real thing,

00:54:55Killer Hog's AP Seasoning,

00:54:57which I saw being sold at Walmart

00:54:59and decided to pick it up.

00:55:00Saves me the trouble

00:55:01of mixing another batch

00:55:03for my own version,

00:55:04which is essentially just salt,

00:55:06pepper, and garlic powder.

00:55:07To top it off,

00:55:08I'll sprinkle some paprika over it

00:55:10and I covered all sides

00:55:12with these seasonings.

00:55:13Then I put all the dark meat parts,

00:55:15the ones with bones in them,

00:55:16in one set of bags

00:55:18and vacuum sealed them.

00:55:20And actually,

00:55:20the ones with bones,

00:55:21I like to double bag them

00:55:23because bones have a habit

00:55:24of piercing the bags,

00:55:26causing the meat to get waterlogged.

00:55:27And here's the meat packet

00:55:29ready for a bath.

00:55:30And the breasts,

00:55:30I put in their own bag for later.

00:55:32I'm using an Anova device

00:55:34inside a cooler.

00:55:35Yeah, I don't have any

00:55:36of that fancy gear

00:55:37like Guga over at

00:55:38sous vide everything,

00:55:39but a cooler works fine.

00:55:41I set the temperature

00:55:42to 145 degrees

00:55:44and when the bath

00:55:44gets up to temperature,

00:55:46I place just the dark meat bags

00:55:47with bones in.

00:55:48And I'll be cooking those

00:55:50for a total of 14 hours.

00:55:52However, 10 hours into the cook,

00:55:54the breast meat was

00:55:54getting a little bit lonely

00:55:56and it decided to hang out

00:55:57with the rest of the boys

00:55:58for the remainder of the cook,

00:56:00four hours.

00:56:01While that cooks,

00:56:02I'll make a flour mixture

00:56:03for the breading,

00:56:04which I'll bring to John's house

00:56:06for the cook.

00:56:07I really don't know

00:56:08what the Colonel's secret recipe is.

00:56:10And frankly,

00:56:11I don't care.

00:56:12So I'll just use the recipe

00:56:13I use to make my kids

00:56:14buttermilk fried chicken tenders.

00:56:17All turkey really is,

00:56:18is just a big chicken tendy,

00:56:20isn't it?

00:56:20We'll start with three cups

00:56:22of all purpose flour,

00:56:23three teaspoons of baking powder,

00:56:26two teaspoons of salt,

00:56:27one teaspoon of black pepper,

00:56:29one teaspoon of paprika,

00:56:31and finally one teaspoon

00:56:32of garlic powder.

00:56:33All of that conveniently poured

00:56:35into a Ziploc bag,

00:56:37not only for travel to John's house,

00:56:39but for shaking it to mix

00:56:41or squeezing to mix,

00:56:43whatever.

00:56:44And when I'm making

00:56:45chicken tendies for my boys,

00:56:46I always make a sauce.

00:56:48And I think this honey mustard sauce

00:56:51will go with it nicely.

00:56:52It's pretty simple.

00:56:53A half cup of mayonnaise,

00:56:55a fourth cup of honey.

00:56:57I'm using this local honey

00:56:58with a very copyright

00:57:00infringing mascot on the bottle.

00:57:08One fourth cup of mustard.

00:57:10Now what really kicks it up a notch

00:57:12is a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.

00:57:15This adds a brightness

00:57:17and acidity that really ties

00:57:18the room together.

00:57:19Then I whisk it all together

00:57:21until it's nice and smooth.

00:57:23Beautiful.

00:57:24I want to drink it.

00:57:26The 14 hour cook is up

00:57:27and I took all the bags

00:57:28of turkey parts

00:57:29and dunked them into ice water

00:57:31to rapidly cool them.

00:57:33And there we go.

00:57:34Perfectly cooked turkey pieces

00:57:36begging for a fried crispy layer

00:57:38to encircle them.

00:57:40I put them in the fridge overnight

00:57:41and then they'll go into a cooler

00:57:43as I make the trip to John's house.

00:57:46I'll also bring plenty of peanut oil

00:57:47to fry them with.

00:57:48So I've got my turkey.

00:57:50I've got my sauce.

00:57:51I've got my breading mixture

00:57:53and I got my oil.

00:57:54So I'm gonna pack that all up,

00:57:56bring it over to the Red Cab crew

00:57:58and we're gonna try out this

00:58:00vaguely KFC themed holiday dinner.

00:58:04Now we can't make it exactly like KFC

00:58:05because they use like a pressure cooker fryer.

00:58:08You know when you hear about people

00:58:09deep frying chicken or turkey

00:58:11in their backyard or in their driveway

00:58:12and then you have it

00:58:13and it's just really moist.

00:58:14Yes.

00:58:15And I'm like, this isn't like kernel.

00:58:16It's just a turkey cooked in oil.

00:58:19But you're like, hey,

00:58:20we've got the KD KFC.

00:58:21Yeah, can we do, you know,

00:58:23the bucket of crispy chicken?

00:58:25So you're really gonna try to do that.

00:58:26So what we're gonna do is bread it.

00:58:27It's just flour.

00:58:29I think some baking soda.

00:58:30Have you ever had breaded fried turkey?

00:58:33No, never.

00:58:34I've deep fried a turkey

00:58:34before a couple of times.

00:58:35Have you ever had a turkey leg,

00:58:37like a big turkey leg at a fair?

00:58:39Yes.

00:58:40Like a $16 turkey leg.

00:58:41I once bought something like that

00:58:43and I regretted it.

00:58:44Not because, it was delicious actually.

00:58:45But I'm walking around like-

00:58:46Chomping on it.

00:58:47Yeah, like I'm a barbarian.

00:58:48So what I'm gonna do is actually

00:58:49this turkey breast,

00:58:50I'm gonna cook it up into chicken nuggies.

00:58:52This is turkey, sorry.

00:58:53Have you ever had a turkey nugget before?

00:58:55You're making me curious about like,

00:58:56why is it that we have not done more

00:58:58with turkey, generally speaking?

00:59:00We're such a chicken culture.

00:59:01I think the chicken breast

00:59:02is gonna be the best

00:59:03because it's gonna be in that.

00:59:04You mean the turkey breast, DJ?

00:59:05Turkey breast.

00:59:07The turkey breast is gonna be the best.

00:59:08Look, I'm cutting, I'm talking.

00:59:10It's hard.

00:59:11I bumble the words all the time on every show.

00:59:13We never thought about mixing mac.

00:59:17An interesting development

00:59:18in terms of craft and the cracker barrel.

00:59:22I can't use any words.

00:59:23Again, from the top.

00:59:23So when you talk about the cracker barrel,

00:59:25I cannot get the words out.

00:59:28I always have enough food in my month,

00:59:29in my month, in my life

00:59:31that I could live nigh on 20 of those.

00:59:34It's 18 grams of protein per soup.

00:59:37In our small part, no salt.

00:59:39A small part, no salt.

00:59:40Most part, no salt.

00:59:41Cheese sauce, not bad.

00:59:42It's cheese sauce, not bad.

00:59:44I missed a word.

00:59:45So you have to-

00:59:48They buy seafood from, you know, various fish people.

00:59:51Fish people.

00:59:52Fishermen, you know, that word.

00:59:53After all this time?

00:59:55It makes sense that you'd want the source to be light.

00:59:57The source?

00:59:58I was wrong.

00:59:59Mark it on your calendars.

01:00:00Just yesterday, he was telling us about how blark the TV was.

01:00:03How blark?

01:00:03Look at the blark levels on that TV.

01:00:05When it gets out of the star mode,

01:00:07then those things will go fully blark.

01:00:09Blark?

01:00:10Blark, fully blark.

01:00:11Here is that famous turkey leg

01:00:13that you go around the Ren Faire with.

01:00:14Yeah.

01:00:15And I am gonna start making a macaroni and cheese, Frankie.

01:00:18We're gonna make KFC KD.

01:00:19Where did this even come from, EJ?

01:00:21You bought this with us today, didn't you?

01:00:22Nobody has sent it to us.

01:00:23So I just bought it off of eBay.

01:00:25You bought it off of eBay.

01:00:26How much did you have to pay

01:00:27for the privilege of these two boxes?

01:00:28I think it's like 10, 13 bucks.

01:00:31That's not too much.

01:00:32Well, it is too much.

01:00:32With shipping and everything.

01:00:34Yeah, from Canada.

01:00:35I love these hood containers of cultured buttermilk.

01:00:38Usually buttermilk will tenderize chicken and I guess turkey.

01:00:42This is more just to give it a nice buttermilk coating.

01:00:45Here's the magic.

01:00:46You take a little bit of this buttermilk

01:00:47and you pour in here.

01:00:49What?

01:00:49You mixed the dry and the wet.

01:00:51The crispy chicken has all those little craggly bits.

01:00:54That's how you get them?

01:00:55What if we took the chicken breading,

01:00:57the fried chicken breading,

01:00:58and put that on top of the mac?

01:01:00How would you do it?

01:01:00I don't know.

01:01:01You'd have to take it off.

01:01:02Somebody think of it.

01:01:03I'm more of an idea person.

01:01:04Well, we're really more sort of idea people.

01:01:07Ideas.

01:01:08After you've battered the chicken,

01:01:09sift out the bits and just fry the bits.

01:01:12Because we've been talking about toppings

01:01:14and how they're horrible forever.

01:01:15And I'm thinking, actually,

01:01:17fried breading would be delicious.

01:01:18Do you have a favorite?

01:01:19Or could we compile, if we were to think of it,

01:01:22a top five Red Cow Christmas segment of all time?

01:01:24If we were to put together a VHS tape

01:01:29and you wanted it to be Christmas themed,

01:01:31what should go on it?

01:01:32This might be a controversial,

01:01:33but I love the wreath segment.

01:01:34It's got to be the cankle cookie, right?

01:01:36Cankle cookie.

01:01:37Oh, cankle cookies would be great.

01:01:38Junter Klaus.

01:01:39I'm going to name each segment.

01:01:41Okay. Thumbs up or down?

01:01:42Not thumbs down, but does it belong on the board?

01:01:44Sure.

01:01:45We have these new tapes that went out.

01:01:46Halloween, Best Of.

01:01:48I can't believe how great the printing came out,

01:01:50how great the tapes look.

01:01:51Yeah. They sold out almost immediately

01:01:53and people are like, make more.

01:01:54So I do kind of want to do our feature films

01:01:56or at least one or two of them.

01:01:57Yeah.

01:01:57I want to release like little pairs.

01:01:59The thing about VHS is you want to stay under two hours.

01:02:01You got to get your fill of Red Cow Christmas

01:02:04in under two hours.

01:02:05So one would be the sitcom.

01:02:07That is good. That's a classic.

01:02:09There's a lot of like mac and cheese segments.

01:02:10Do you just pick one and that is the topper

01:02:12that caps the whole thing?

01:02:13I would think one mac.

01:02:14I'm a little bit partial to Eggnog Mac.

01:02:18Really?

01:02:18I think it's the worst mac.

01:02:20I think it's one of the funniest segments.

01:02:22Okay.

01:02:22It's not...

01:02:23Oh my God, it's weird.

01:02:27There's a segment that I know will make it.

01:02:29It's me trying to make a roast.

01:02:31Oh yes.

01:02:32That's so classic.

01:02:33I didn't, I put it right on the...

01:02:34I just needed a pan.

01:02:35Why is the roast on the counter?

01:02:37Because I didn't have a pan.

01:02:39Time out.

01:02:40You just open it up and put it on the pan yourself.

01:02:43Gift of the Mac guys.

01:02:44Is that going in?

01:02:45I think so.

01:02:45Just the segment.

01:02:46John reading a poem.

01:02:48Is that a good opener?

01:02:49You know, the funny thing about that,

01:02:50I don't know if I've ever said that on camera before.

01:02:52When I was reading that poem, I was so pissed off.

01:02:54Why?

01:02:54I don't remember why.

01:02:55I can see it in your eyes.

01:02:56Wasn't it because the cookies didn't come out?

01:02:59That was, that might've been what it was.

01:03:00I was so pissed that the cookies didn't work out.

01:03:02Oh, it didn't quite cook like they should have.

01:03:05Something's wrong.

01:03:07Welp, it is what it is, folks.

01:03:09Get a shoe.

01:03:09Why not?

01:03:10We have several shoes already,

01:03:11but they don't even look like shoes.

01:03:12They just look like kankles at this point.

01:03:14They're all blowed up.

01:03:15The gels are just so you can like draw eyes on,

01:03:17you know, bloated kankles.

01:03:19I'm going to put it on there.

01:03:20Opening poem.

01:03:21Sure.

01:03:22Everything's pissed off, John, with fire in his eyes.

01:03:25I'm hearing that we want kankles.

01:03:26I think it's one of the best, funniest.

01:03:28So far, every single segment goes in.

01:03:30We set up the tree in your living room.

01:03:33We'll cut that.

01:03:33Frankie makes a roast.

01:03:34Yes, has to go in.

01:03:362016 was a banger.

01:03:37Yeah, I wasn't even there.

01:03:39I couldn't make it over to the Red Cow holiday celebration.

01:03:42For some reason or another.

01:03:44Baby born.

01:03:44Wreaths.

01:03:45I like wreaths, but we could leave it.

01:03:47It's long.

01:03:48And then there's also make your own ornament.

01:03:49I think that's better.

01:03:50Maybe cut down a little.

01:03:51You need some kind of EJ.

01:03:52We gotta have something EJ.

01:03:53And then 2016, tempered egg one.

01:03:56That's my favorite Mac that we've made.

01:03:57There's a version where I make it in 2017.

01:03:59Oh, that's right.

01:04:00Junt buys a Christmas tree in the Christmas tree field.

01:04:02I love it.

01:04:03That is a classic.

01:04:04When you go, I'm lost in a field of trees.

01:04:06All right, we're heading this way.

01:04:08I feel like I'm lost in a field of trees.

01:04:12Now, you're going to do a single or a double dip, EJ?

01:04:14We're just doing single.

01:04:15Single dip.

01:04:15Some lucky person's going to get the turkey leg.

01:04:17And you just serve it with mac and cheese or...

01:04:19I had this weird idea at one point where like,

01:04:21you would make a turkey,

01:04:22you'd stuff the turkey with the mac and cheese.

01:04:25I have an idea for that and like,

01:04:26where you would actually make like a mac and cheese

01:04:29dust crust for the turkey as well.

01:04:31Maybe a next year idea.

01:04:32Next year idea.

01:04:33Okay, there's the dolls that were made for us.

01:04:35There's candied nuts.

01:04:37Candied nuts!

01:04:38No.

01:04:38Even though Gloria was an infant.

01:04:40The first mac and cheese is no.

01:04:41It's not making it.

01:04:42No.

01:04:42EJ makes a turkey.

01:04:44Here we are again.

01:04:45Look at that.

01:04:46It's inside.

01:04:47Carve a nice turkey.

01:04:48There's EJ makes cranberries.

01:04:49Oh, that bourbon cranberry sauce is really good.

01:04:51There's when we have the dinner at the end with the cake.

01:04:54I would end the VHS with that.

01:04:56That seems lovely.

01:04:56It's a little too blue for me to consume.

01:04:58Why blue specifically?

01:04:59I have no idea.

01:05:00Junter Klaus.

01:05:01And smashing the gingerbread house.

01:05:03It is a classic Red Cow moment.

01:05:04I think you have to include it.

01:05:05Yeah, you have to.

01:05:06Mac and cheese fudge with Zach.

01:05:08I like having Zach involved, but meh.

01:05:10A Christmas to remember store in Newport.

01:05:12I do like that.

01:05:13There's a Christmas place.

01:05:14It's not part of any special, but there's when we went to a Christmas place.

01:05:16Yeah.

01:05:17There's the quilt, the mac and cheese quilt.

01:05:19What was this bottle of pee that you made everybody drink?

01:05:21Oh, the spruce mead.

01:05:23That might be a good one, actually, if you wanted one EJ segment.

01:05:26Yeah, that's a good one.

01:05:26Christmas no views with the NES.

01:05:28Oh, that is pretty good.

01:05:29That is pretty good.

01:05:30But if you want a gaming segment, you want the one where we're over there in the living room.

01:05:33Yes.

01:05:34Yeah.

01:05:34There's Matt makes ornaments of everybody.

01:05:36Mommy and Gloria and Daddy.

01:05:38Setting the table with false graph and then with a slow-mo.

01:05:41I think you need that.

01:05:42Yep.

01:05:42Matt's craft of making the snowman.

01:05:44I like that one.

01:05:45That's a snowman.

01:05:46That's silly.

01:05:48What do you do with the rest of the sock?

01:05:50Our biggest cooking segment we've ever done for a holiday special is when you did the jumbo shells.

01:05:54You called it the 10 cheese jumbo shells with uts.

01:05:56I don't think we should include it.

01:05:58No?

01:05:59It's gone.

01:05:59It was a good segment.

01:06:00Go watch it.

01:06:00Go enjoy with your family and friends.

01:06:02Matt's apple crisp.

01:06:03There's Christmas scavenger junt where Gloria finds a giant freaking reindeer.

01:06:07I can't believe we did a giant freaking reindeer.

01:06:09I kind of want Gloria in something.

01:06:11Retro gaming segment, Junt's Nest.

01:06:12But do you choose that over the SNES rifle?

01:06:14That one's so good.

01:06:15Yeah.

01:06:16I'm if you're making me choose rifle.

01:06:18Oh, waffle.

01:06:19No?

01:06:20No.

01:06:20It didn't come out good.

01:06:21How come every time?

01:06:22Okay, so we're getting to the bottom of it.

01:06:24If the cooking didn't come out good.

01:06:25I don't want it.

01:06:26You like want it gone.

01:06:27I want it gone.

01:06:27I'm going only forward.

01:06:29Only forward, Frankie.

01:06:30Not going back.

01:06:31No.

01:06:31Only forward.

01:06:32Actually, there was the Sharice Mac.

01:06:33Yes.

01:06:34My easy Christmas Sharice Mac.

01:06:35There was Jump Horse.

01:06:36Horse bucks you up, go to the hospital.

01:06:38Where's the horse-piddle?

01:06:39Horse-piddle.

01:06:40Horse-piddle.

01:06:41Horse-piddle.

01:06:42And there was fried mac bowls.

01:06:43We did it last year.

01:06:44Do you even remember that?

01:06:45I do remember.

01:06:46Cut it.

01:06:46All right, so here's what we got.

01:06:47The opening poem.

01:06:48Gift of the Mac guys.

01:06:49Kankles.

01:06:50Frankie makes a roast.

01:06:51Yep.

01:06:51Wreaths.

01:06:52You need a TV edit for that.

01:06:53Yeah, TV edit.

01:06:54Lost in a field of trees.

01:06:55The dinner at the end.

01:06:56Mac and cheese cake.

01:06:57Smashing the gingerbread house.

01:07:03Christmas scavenger junk and SNES rifle.

01:07:05Sounds great.

01:07:06We got temperature, 350 degrees.

01:07:08I'm going to use my big dish because this is big turkey.

01:07:11When you deep fry things,

01:07:12do you believe in the instant salt once it comes out?

01:07:15Yes, if you can get the salt ready, please, Jonathan.

01:07:17I'm excited to be a salter.

01:07:18How's the turkey, EJ?

01:07:20It's good.

01:07:21Looks delicious.

01:07:22It does.

01:07:22It already looks so good.

01:07:23John, do you want to look at the ingredients

01:07:25and see if there's anything that stands out to you?

01:07:27There's nothing different in it at all,

01:07:28except there's herbs and spices.

01:07:30Oh.

01:07:31Including mustard and sugar

01:07:33and some garlic powder and onion powder, too.

01:07:35Yeah, well, what makes it KFC?

01:07:36We didn't even bother to investigate that.

01:07:38Rather than trying to replicate the KFC mac,

01:07:41they've tried to just make a mac flavored with KFC spices.

01:07:44Look at that.

01:07:45Look at that.

01:07:45That's a turkey leg if I've ever seen it.

01:07:47Have you ever wanted to put real WTF art on the wall?

01:07:50Kind of.

01:07:51Do you ever want to put gather or eat on the wall?

01:07:53Never.

01:07:54I saw some art recently of Kermit looking real buff.

01:07:57I was like, that should go in the bathroom or something.

01:08:00Is this your pot?

01:08:01This is my pot, yeah.

01:08:02John doesn't normally fry stuff.

01:08:04Well, I made that chicken number five I made for the 2020.

01:08:07And you fried that?

01:08:08Yes.

01:08:08Chicken number five.

01:08:09Is that cheese all over it?

01:08:10No, cream of chicken soup.

01:08:12And then it's got fried pieces of chicken in it and some sherry.

01:08:15And then we've got white rice and we've got vegetables.

01:08:17Every Tuesday night at my house in Westport,

01:08:18we'd have a dinner night and he would come over

01:08:20and he would make chicken number five.

01:08:22Why is it number five again?

01:08:24Just because it is.

01:08:24Well, there was chicken number one and chicken number five.

01:08:26And there's chicken number two, which I very rarely make.

01:08:29This is called chicken number two.

01:08:30And where did you come up with the two?

01:08:32There's only two chicken dishes I make,

01:08:34chicken number two and chicken number five.

01:08:35Chicken number two is with Swiss cheese and stuffing crumbs on top.

01:08:39Oh, dude, I want.

01:08:40It's good.

01:08:41But it's number two and it's rare.

01:08:42Chicken breast tenders in Italian dressing,

01:08:46cooked sous vide, served over fresh vegan salted rice.

01:08:50Five was in celebration of mambo number five, obviously.

01:08:52I want to thank Jason Graves for manning the camera today.

01:08:54Yes, thank you, Jason.

01:08:55If it sucks, it's my fault.

01:08:57If we look a little shorter today, it's because Jason's...

01:08:59I'm holding you at chest level.

01:09:01Oh, you can see the pepper flakes.

01:09:03Oh, yeah, take a look.

01:09:04You could take one of those and now stick it in the cheese sauce.

01:09:07You totally could.

01:09:08Now, can I interrupt everything for a second?

01:09:10There's a certain cake in the oven.

01:09:12Oh, yes.

01:09:12That is ready to come out.

01:09:13The oven is about to give birth.

01:09:14I'm about to induce.

01:09:16We're looking great.

01:09:16Just slip this back behind here for now.

01:09:20Careful.

01:09:20This is the last batch, so we're almost done here.

01:09:22There's a lot of action here.

01:09:23We got cake, we got the chicken, we got the noodles coming in.

01:09:27What this really is, is a BoxMac VR experience just for Jason.

01:09:31Is KFC an American chain?

01:09:33Yes.

01:09:33So what right does Canada have?

01:09:35I mean, have we talked before about how fried chicken from KFC in Japan

01:09:39is the national thing you do?

01:09:40Every Christmas, that's what you do.

01:09:42All right, Mac first.

01:09:43KFC, KD.

01:09:44Are you tasting KFC?

01:09:46Maybe.

01:09:46A little bit.

01:09:47It's very peppery, very spicy.

01:09:49I think throwing in some herbs and spices and being like,

01:09:51it's KFC is kind of bullshit.

01:09:52I wanted the cheese to come through more and it really doesn't.

01:09:55I don't mind it.

01:09:55It's okay.

01:09:56The average person will like it, but is it KFC?

01:09:58Let's try a turkey nuggie.

01:10:00Turkey nuggie.

01:10:00Oh, wow.

01:10:01Wow.

01:10:02It's awesome.

01:10:03This is so good.

01:10:04How come every time we fried birds in this kitchen, it goes so well?

01:10:08Imagine if we had made that sauce.

01:10:10I have a sauce.

01:10:12What?

01:10:12A honey mustard sauce.

01:10:15Oh my God, EJ.

01:10:16Honey mustard is my favorite.

01:10:17It's my favorite too.

01:10:18This is homemade?

01:10:19Yes, I mixed a bunch of condiments together, yes.

01:10:22The turkey is a star.

01:10:24Yeah, I love the bite to it.

01:10:25It's so moist and tender.

01:10:27The crispy coating's really good too.

01:10:29I kind of like the mac.

01:10:31Yeah, the mac's good.

01:10:32You can get the essence of like the KFC spices.

01:10:35Do you even like mac or are you one of these people that doesn't even like mac?

01:10:37It's all right.

01:10:39You're telling me there's more than one kind?

01:10:40There's anything.

01:10:41The mac's okay.

01:10:42I think the baseline should be would I rather have this or regular and I'd rather have this.

01:10:46You can taste like the KFC spices in it.

01:10:49It almost has a bit of the KFC gravy taste to it too.

01:10:52It does.

01:10:53The turkey was very, very good.

01:10:55We never paid off the crumblies on top, Frankie.

01:10:57I put some crumblies on there.

01:10:58I really like the texture it adds.

01:11:00Yeah.

01:11:00I think it really balances the mac nicely, actually.

01:11:02That just leaves a cake.

01:11:04Yeah.

01:11:04We gotta let it cool?

01:11:05Oh yeah, for another couple minutes.

01:11:06All right, so cake is out of the oven.

01:11:08Now I'm just going to do the final decoration, a little powdered sugar with my OXO cake duster.

01:11:13It's like a magic wand.

01:11:14It is like a magic wand.

01:11:15It hasn't been cooling too long, so it's still going to be warm, unfortunately.

01:11:17You're going to do a recipe on the website?

01:11:19Absolutely.

01:11:19This has to somehow beat the turkey leg.

01:11:21It won't.

01:11:22Having not tried the turkey leg, I think this is way better than the turkey.

01:11:25I saw the little knot on Frankie's head, which indicates that he has concerns and issues.

01:11:30What did you see?

01:11:31A little knot on the head, just a little tilt.

01:11:32You want to know what it is?

01:11:33What is it?

01:11:34It's delicious.

01:11:34It's great.

01:11:35I love it.

01:11:36You just hate fruits and vegetables?

01:11:37Just not the apples, please.

01:11:39It's so much better when it's not warm.

01:11:40I think it's great.

01:11:41Yeah?

01:11:42Your mileage may vary.

01:11:43The apples are also fantastically cooked.

01:11:45Like, they're not super hard and chewy and undercooked, which happens all the time.

01:11:48They add a nice little tartness.

01:11:49I heard about the different types of apples that Sean added.

01:11:52That it's not just pure sugar on your palate.

01:11:54She's saving this.

01:11:55She is.

01:11:56Thank you, Nina.

01:11:57What about you, Jason?

01:11:59Wow.

01:12:02Wow.

01:12:04I think the problem is that if chocolate is your preferred sweet,

01:12:08it's going to mess up your whole sense of taste and proportion and everything else.

01:12:11I love cinnamon sugar, and he's got that on the outer edge.

01:12:14What I would do is eat the outer edge of this kig.

01:12:16Is there a way to get some of those qualities into it without there being hot slimy slugs?

01:12:22You can make just a coffee cake.

01:12:24So Frankie's advice is to double the cake, no apples.

01:12:27Double the cake, no apples.

01:12:28I think I would like that more, actually.

01:12:30Yeah, if it was twice the cake, half the apples.

01:12:32It is right.

01:12:33It's made correctly.

01:12:34So if you don't like it...

01:12:35Well, do you like hot slimy apples inside your cakes?

01:12:38No, but they're not hot and slimy once they cool down.

01:12:40They'll be cool and slimy.

01:12:41They're not even hot and slimy now?

01:12:42I don't like them hot.

01:12:43If I had my druthers, we would have waited two hours before eating this cake.

01:12:46Well, we don't have druthers.

01:12:47We don't have no two hours.

01:12:48We got to get this done.

01:12:49We don't have druthers in this department.

01:12:50We have no druthers.

01:12:51And there's going to be parts that have less apples in it, too,

01:12:54because that's just the nature of the cake.

01:12:55Thank goodness.

01:12:56But you did put a lot of apples in it.

01:12:57I did put a lot of apples.

01:12:58What is with the apple people?

01:13:00What is with your lack of apple people?

01:13:01There's a lot of apple people out there.

01:13:03Have you noticed this?

01:13:03Has the apple thing gone a little out of control?

01:13:05No, not hot.

01:13:06If you like apples, you're going to like this cake.

01:13:08Yeah.

01:13:09That's my...

01:13:09I gave you all the reasons why this cake is great.

01:13:11Now listen, did you see the bucket of apples we put into it?

01:13:14It's fantastic.

01:13:15It's not too sweet.

01:13:16It's nice and balanced.

01:13:17It's good and cinnamony.

01:13:18I think you're right.

01:13:18It was cool.

01:13:19Yeah.

01:13:20Hey, pretty good.

01:13:31Is it hard to take care of the reindeer?

01:13:33And do they eat a lot?

01:13:34They eat a lot more towards the end of the year,

01:13:37when you get close to Christmas,

01:13:38so they can build up their strength.

01:13:40But it's really not hard.

01:13:41I got a lot of elves.

01:13:44Well, is there any other questions?

01:13:45That's it.

01:13:46Just the reindeer?

01:13:50Um, do the reindeer eat a lot?

01:13:59And is it hard to take care of the reindeer?

01:14:02It is not too difficult to take care of the reindeer,

01:14:04but make sure on Christmas Eve,

01:14:06you put out a carrot for my reindeer to eat

01:14:08when I get to your house, okay?

01:14:09Okay.

01:14:10Just leave it on the plate.

01:14:19I don't have that money.
