Patreon Preview #333: Hot Takes

Does anyone remember why we're doing this episode?

What did we say that made people submit their hot takes to us?

We asked them to.

We asked them to, but what was the context?

Does anyone remember the context?

Yeah, what was the impetus?

Uh,

oh, Casey, does Casey remember?

Casey doing a DREC must.

I don't remember why you asked.

I even remember the things you said after.

You said you gave the example of Prince being your favorite chip.

I remember everything but why somebody said that.

Hey, it doesn't matter because people submitted a lot of hot takes to us.

I'm so excited.

So what we're going to do is we're going to review some of people's hot takes, see if we agree with them and if they maybe spur some hot takes of our own.

It's going to be an all-hot takes episode.

I think maybe I'm just trying to really focus on branding.

I think you should eat hot wings.

They get progressively spicier.

Yes.

While the hot takes get progressively spicier.

Adult, that is such a good idea.

I've never done it before.

That is such a good idea.

Thank you.

We should put it on YouTube as well.

We should get celebrities and we don't do it.

And then we hire Sean Evans

from Hot Wan.

Two first names.

Oh,

Hot Wands, the show.

God, I love that show.

Anyways, what was your idea?

Oh, Hot Wands, and we just show pictures of different people named Juan who are smoke shows.

So for whatever reason, people submitted some hot takes to us.

And I guess if we, if you want to see, if you have future hot takes or if these inspire some of your hot takes, you can email us, hrrpodcast.gmail.com, put hot takes in the subject line, and we might use them for a future episode of Hot Takes, if indeed indeed we care to do so.

Um, but here's some hot takes.

This one.

Before we start, do you, either of you, have any hot takes that get you in trouble?

Like, what off the top of your head?

For mine, I know that me loving the movie The Village

makes people feel insane.

I love that movie.

It's so good.

It's so good.

Yeah, I feel like that's early enough in the Shyamalaniverse that if you're like, to say like you love

the devil or grab like bold pitchfork,

people will literally go crazy when I well, I think that MA Shyamalan in general sucks, and I think he's like no signs is amazing.

No.

Yes.

Oh no.

Yeah.

Signs is very good.

What's amazing one of the most reactive scenes when the alien walks by at the birthday party in Mexico,

it sends shivers off.

Are we talking about the same movie Signs?

The movie about the swing away that come to Earth and their only weakness is water switching.

Contaminated.

The planet is made 75% of.

Yeah.

Well, Mel Gibson is

a very good thing.

He's a dude.

I do think that people correctly identified that like M.

Night Shyamalan to a certain degree degree is kind of a one-trick pony.

And the more movies he made, and then I felt like maybe Signs in the Village were like early on fine movies, but really he like knocked it out of the park with his first movie.

And then he made stuff like what's the Paul Giamatti one?

Sideways.

Thank you.

He made Sideways.

And they're like Lady in the Water.

Lady of the Water.

Lady in the Water.

And they're like, this is not...

About

a motel that...

has all fairy tales.

Yeah, yeah.

It's basically fables, but terrible.

The one thing I will say with M.

McShamblov is I think he like self-produces all of his movies.

Like he doesn't take studio money, so like they're technically all like, you know, it's he is doing things.

Let's leave him alone.

He's making little art projects.

Let's put him on his daughter who's saying 45 minutes in the Josh Hartnett movie.

Doesn't he have another daughter who's also trying to do M.

McShamblan movies and they're not very good?

Really?

Yeah, yeah.

He's got dueling daughters.

I will say the hot take that gets me in the most trouble is when I tell Gemma that Kristen Miliatti is the hottest woman alive.

I think you just shouldn't be saying that to your wife.

She got big eyes.

She got huge eyes.

I think she had a baby with Bonnie Bear.

Shit.

Wow.

Justin Vernon.

Fuck.

I'm trying to think if I have like hot tanks that get me into trouble.

I would say that I have, in general, pretty bad opinions on most everything.

I feel like I'm like kind of

yeah, like nothing I like is good and like the way that I feel about things is bad.

So like

Keysy go ahead.

Hey, I'm also like kind of not ashamed of it.

Like that, like, I like shitty things and I, um, I don't like a lot of things that most people like.

Yeah, but I don't know.

You could use a little more shame.

Yeah, I don't think that that's really like necessarily like a hot take.

All right, I'm ready.

One of the things, I don't know that this is a hot take, but what I really, truly, truly want to be done with is like

seeing consuming media that is based on existing IP.

Like that to me, every time I do it, I'm like, why did I do this again?

Like, am I going to go see the newest Jurassic whatever movie?

Like,

why do I keep doing it to myself?

I'm always like, this was a waste of my time.

That's not really a hot take, though.

I think a lot of people feel that way.

Okay.

These are from Waffle.

Waffle says my cat's name is Magic.

Neither of those are hot takes.

These are just true facts about the person that submitted.

The first hot take, one, cookies and cream and Oreo are not the same goddamn flavor, and Oreo mashed into something is not cookie and cream flavor.

What do we think about this hot take?

What?

Then what's so is it like cream like like

milk?

Like I guess so.

I don't know.

Cookies, like when you think of like the is this person saying that cookies and cream flavoring should be like chocolate chip cookies?

I think that they're saying cookies and cream, if you order cookies and cream, it is not the same as ordering Oreo ice cream.

But is it's often Oreos?

I don't know.

When it's cookies and cream?

This is often like a minty cookie.

This minty.

Yeah.

It's Oreo minty.

Oreo's not minty.

Yeah.

Oreo is minty.

Isn't the inside a little minty?

Of an Oreo?

I don't find it.

Are you thinking of mint Oreos?

No.

Isn't it a little

sweet in there?

Yes, I feel like it's not.

But like, don't the Oreos have like a little

aftertaste that is

what I'm fucking talking about.

I just truly don't think it does have any mint in it.

Dude, they sell mint Oreos.

They sell mint Oreos.

Yeah, because regular ones don't have mint.

Aaron.

See the doctor.

Are you thinking of mint chocolate chip as an ice cream flavor?

Aaron.

I'm thinking about how Oreos have this like kick to it.

Aaron, you're scaring us.

Dude, I never,

I never expected this to be the direction this hot take took us.

Here's what I'll say.

I'm kind of scared, TBC, because I guarantee you we're going to get 400 emails where people are like, no, Oreos are minty.

I guess, should we look at them?

I feel like we might.

I feel like...

I know what I taste and I never taste minty.

I don't have a distinct mic.

But I feel like we're going to get a lot of emails being like, that's incorrect.

Aaron was right.

But, you know, taste is subjective, right?

Like, people's taste buds taste things differently.

And, like, you know, the cilantro thing and all that shit.

So, like, I don't know.

Maybe, maybe, I just don't think that they have like an overpowering mint flavor.

I don't think it's overpowering.

I think it's like a little.

I don't think it's powering at all.

Well, let's, hey,

let's focus less on that and more on, does anyone have an opinion on this?

I don't think I, first of all, cookies and cream, not my go-to.

You know what I think it happens is

the dark chocolate flavor,

sometimes that like bitterness is what I'm associating with it.

Okay, I would even go as far as to say that Oreos don't have a single shred of dark chocolate flavor.

Yes, they do.

Are there dark chocolate Oreos?

Is that about a dark chocolate flavor?

No, they that

the cookie is dark chocolate, Erin.

Are you describing Andy's?

I'm literally reading off Aaron's website.

You're describing Andy's.

Do you eat an Oreo under your pillow at a hotel?

And a bit of cocoa-like taste from the dark chocolate wafers.

I think they are dark in color.

But you know what I'm fucking talking about.

They truly don't.

Are you trying to update me?

Explicitly a milk chocolate flavor.

It's not a milk chocolate cookie, crazy.

I'm going to fucking flip the table.

But

I'm about to absolutely

lose my fucking

sense that that cocoa bitter taste.

You think that Oreo has a bitter chocolate taste, like dark chocolate?

Just the cookie itself.

Just the cookie.

The cookie and Oreo tastes bitter like dark chocolate.

Oh my God.

When you have a piece of milk chocolate, it's just the sweetness.

And it has none of that, like milk chocolate and dark chocolate are different.

Have you ever do like a scoop of cocoa and it has that like slight bittery taste?

I'd like to leave, please.

No, no.

No.

Are you fucking kidding?

Are you messing with me?

I feel like Aaron's messing with me.

I feel like Aaron's about to be like, and you know how they're spicy?

And we're going to be like, huh?

She's like, Oreos are spicy, you know.

Aaron, I am a person that despises.

That's up for debate.

Please off.

Despises processed chocolate.

I think like American processed chocolate tastes like garbage to me.

Adle recently brought me some milk chocolate from Scotland, and it tasted so much better than, but it was from like a chocolate tier.

It tasted so much better than like milk chocolate that you would buy like in a, what's a milk chocolate bar?

Hershey's.

Yeah.

Yeah, whatever.

Yeah, that stuff tastes like poison to me.

I love dark chocolate and I love bitter dark chocolate.

And I just am not getting any of those hints when I'm eating an Oreo.

But I am also, Aaron, who's not listening to me, thinking of super bitter dark chocolate, which is what I I enjoy.

So

I just don't get any of that from an audience.

I'm thinking that there is, it has to live in one of those extremes.

I'm saying that those, the wafer part of Oreos have a slightly

like waffle.

Look what you've done to us.

Cocoa powder taste to us.

Yeah, just a little bit.

I would agree with.

Yeah, I would agree.

Your phone's moving so slow.

I'm ordering Oreos two cases apart.

Get the Selena Gomez ones.

Aaron, get the Selena Gomez ones.

No.

Why not?

I want to try them.

Get the pop rock ones.

There's pop rock ones.

Aaron, they're like horchata flavored or something.

I want to try Selena Gomez.

aaron if you get your hands on the selena gomez ones we should sell them on ebay aaron's phone is the apples screen i want to try the selena gomez ones uh if they have them um because i'm not interested in anything else all right let's move on because i think that one was too high i don't think we can too continue i'm not kidding i think aaron's done i want to get to more of these hotels i'm going to be half listening while i'm ordering oreos one two three four hate riddle riddles clue crew
