00:11

purchase according to Sporked.

00:14

We haven't tasted them yet, so I'm pretty excited.

00:17

But first, let's define a word that we've never heard.

00:20

Okay.

00:21

What's the word?

00:23

Tergiversation?

00:25

Tergiversation?

00:26

Tergiversation?

00:28

Turgid means that it's, like, tight.

00:31

Usually that's spelled T-U-R.

00:32

Like a tight liquid?

00:33

This is T-E-R.

00:36

Oh, really?

00:37

Tergiversation?

00:38

Tergiversation!

00:39

I think it's when you make something.

00:40

Tergiversation?

00:41

When you make something tight.

00:46

I think it's when you, tergiver something.

00:50

And I don't know what tergiver is.

00:52

Well, you gotta come up, you gotta come up with something, or

00:55

you have to go with me.

00:56

Okay, this is when there's like a word and

00:58

you add a ter to it.

00:59

You give it a ter.

01:00

All right.

01:01

So, it's like, Links-ter.

01:02

Okay.

01:02

Don't be annoyed with me.

01:03

I'm just trying to get you to do the assignment.

01:05

And so I just did an example of tergiversation.

01:08

So, who's right?

01:10

The act of making statements that deliberately hide

01:12

the truth that avoid answering a question.

01:14

Oh, I kind of did that. See, I was trying to

01:17

tergiversate.

01:18

- Oh, yes, you were. - And you forced me out of it.

01:21

Gwynedd get in here before we tergiversate each other.

01:27

Oh, my goodness.

01:28

Hi!

01:30

You're tasting stuff, you're posting it on

01:32

TikTok.

01:33

Yep.

01:35

This one's been on TikTok for a while now.

01:37

I saw this one.

01:38

So, I saw you eat this.

01:41

Were you curious about it?

01:42

Yeah.

01:43

I didn't scroll past.

01:44

All right.

01:45

Not that I usually scroll past you eating

01:47

things on the.

01:48

I sure hope not.

01:50

This is a little bold.

01:51

So, it's a really crazy idea, isn't it?

01:53

Yeah, it's wild.

01:54

It's a Lay's potato chip that's supposed to taste

01:56

like, I hate saying it, but I have to, I think.

01:59

Say it, girl!

02:00

Rooty Tooty Fresh N' Fruity, pancake breakfast at IHOP.

02:03

What part of that do you not like saying?

02:04

The rooty tooty part.

02:05

The rooty tooty?

02:06

Have you ever gotten excited and said, like, rooty tooty?

02:09

Rooty tooty!

02:11

What about rootin' tootin'?

02:12

Rootin' tootin', yeah.

02:12

You ever said that?

02:14

Absolutely.

02:15

But these are supposed to taste, I don't know,

02:17

but to potato chips.

02:18

But have you though?

02:19

Have I really?

02:20

Yeah, well I asked you.

02:21

Am I just tergiversating?

02:23

Right, exactly.

02:23

Tergiversating.

02:25

No one has said the word the same way twice.

02:28

I probably said rootin' tootin' before.

02:30

I'm a maniac.

02:32

Why does this exist?

02:34

And you like it, apparently, because it's here.

02:37

Okay, not everyone on this work team liked these.

02:40

But I really like them.

02:42

Why?

02:43

Cause they're weird and crazy and they really do

02:45

taste like what they say they're gonna taste like.

02:47

Well that's true but it doesn't need to exist and it's.

02:50

Well.

02:51

It's, I just don't like sweet chips.

02:54

Yeah.

02:56

Yeah.

02:56

I gotta say, I really didn't wanna like it.

02:59

Even as I started eating it, I was completely opposed to it.

03:03

I thought that it's, almost an offense to food.

03:09

You know what I'm saying?

03:10

Is there a but coming?

03:11

But I've eaten three now.

03:13

And now I've eaten four.

03:15

No.

03:15

No, you haven't.

03:16

Yes, you have.

03:17

I just kept eating them too.

03:18

Y'all are just rootin' and tootin'.

03:20

Which one of you is rootin' and which one

03:21

of you is tootin'?

03:22

No, we're rooty and tooty.

03:24

Rooty and tooty.

03:25

Who's fresh and who's fruity?

03:26

You could have been fresh and fruity if you wanted

03:28

to, but you're not invited to the party anymore.

03:29

I'm not fresh or fruity today.

03:31

I know.

03:33

But this needs to be a limited time thing, right?

03:35

I don't even like, you know like the Hawaiian

03:37

chips that are like, sweet?

03:39

I don't even like those, so I'm just kinda like,

03:42

if you like a sweet chip, like, Gwynedd over here.

03:46

I don't think I normally would, but there's something

03:48

so compelling about this.

03:50

It actually makes it more dessert and less chip.

03:52

Like, the dessert is leading.

03:55

And the fact that it tastes so much like a pancake, too.

03:59

It's kinda, kinda wild.

04:00

I just feel like, this is, it's kinda fitting

04:02

for the, like, the downfall of our culture.

04:04

Oh my God.

04:06

You know what I'm saying?

04:06

It's like, this is what we're eating as, we just

04:09

run around on motorcycles with people on leashes.

04:12

Yep. This is our Mad Max.

04:14

You know what I'm saying?

04:14

It's just like, give me your fruity pancake.

04:17

So, so we are on.

04:19

This is currency in 30 years.

04:21

And, there's people on leashes running at the

04:23

speed of a motorcycle?

04:25

Oh no, they're on a skateboard.

04:26

Okay, good.

04:27

Being dragged behind the, the, and this is how

04:30

you, this is what you feed to the people on your leashes,

04:34

That's five.

04:35

I know, I guess I'm a leash person then.

04:37

Minus a little bit that just fell out of the.

04:39

Oh, you want to be on the leash.

04:40

I mean, if I get to eat these all day, sure, why not?

04:42

I think in the apocalypse, you actually would

04:44

prefer to be the person on the leash, honestly.

04:48

Because when the person whose leash you're on is

04:53

killed, you just end up on the next person's leash.

04:56

They don't kill you too.

04:57

Okay

04:57

They're like, oh, that guy's on the leash, well

04:59

he can be on my leash now.

05:00

What's the benefit of having a leash person

05:02

in the apocalypse?

05:03

They don't run away.

05:04

No, okay, so just companionship?

05:06

I mean, I don't know.

05:09

It depends on your particular, your needs.

05:11

Your relational needs.

05:12

All right.

05:12

Oh my goodness.

05:13

So this is another wild one.

05:15

Have you freaking kidded me?

05:17

So, Hidden Valley is releasing seven new

05:22

flavors of ranch dressing.

05:23

Why?

05:24

I don't know.

05:25

Because they can.

05:26

Garlic Ranch.

05:27

Cheez-It Cheezy Ranch.

05:30

So, okay, so this is the Cheez-It Cheezy Ranch that

05:32

we're gonna try first.

05:33

And I want you to tell me what you think about it.

05:37

Well, that's it.

05:38

We knew that.

05:38

Okay.

05:39

I'm sorry.

05:40

I'm not gonna tell you what to do.

05:42

I mean, what?

05:44

If you said, I want you to taste it and don't

05:46

tell me what to do.

05:47

Yeah, taste it and shut up.

05:48

You wouldn't think that cheese and ranch go together.

05:51

But, when we did that Mythical Muncher Dog.

05:56

At that Mythical Cookbook event, and Josh's idea was

05:59

to put ranch and cheese on a hot dog, and I thought

06:03

it would be more than I could take, but it wasn't.

06:05

I just did a lick daddy.

06:07

And this is in the same place.

06:09

This is like those two flavors meeting again in one sauce.

06:14

Can you tell that I love it?

06:17

I'd feed it to my leash person.

06:18

Okay.

06:18

Can you tell that it's Cheez-It cheese?

06:22

I would not say that it's, I would just say cheese.

06:25

I would say almost like nacho cheese, to be honest with you.

06:27

I think it just isn't cheesy enough, period.

06:31

But, I wanted, so this is another one of the ranch

06:34

dressings that Hidden Valley came out with that I think

06:36

is actually more exciting.

06:37

Okay, alright.

06:38

I don't hate it, but you're right.

06:40

I mean, if it was more cheesy, you might forget

06:42

that it was ranch.

06:44

I'm just gonna squirt it on the plate, okay?

06:47

Okay.

06:47

Is that good?

06:48

That was a little, that was a little tooty of you.

06:51

So, this is the garlic ranch.

06:53

Oh man, I got to.

06:54

I got too many fries.

06:55

I really flipped my lid for this stuff.

06:57

Oh, these fries are really sticky.

07:00

Whoa.

07:03

Whoa.

07:04

I have to drink, y'all.

07:05

Y'all, y'all go on without me.

07:07

All right.

07:07

Go on without me.

07:09

This is working.

07:11

That's really strong.

07:13

What is?

07:14

I, see, I think it tastes exactly like

07:16

the cup of like garlic.

07:18

Papa John's garlic butter.

07:19

Exactly.

07:20

And look, the pizza being dipped on it.

07:22

Mixed with ranch.

07:23

It tastes exactly like that.

07:25

They nailed it.

07:25

Isn't that so good?

07:27

They nailed it.

07:27

It, I don't think there, I'm not, I'm only getting

07:30

Papa John's garlic.

07:31

I'm not getting butter.

07:32

I'm not getting ranch at all.

07:33

Ranch, really?

07:35

And I don't need it.

07:36

The creaminess of that sauce though.

07:38

Yeah.

07:39

There is a, like a creamy version.

07:41

This is dangerous, kids.

07:43

It's not that dangerous.

07:45

Well it's, I'm not saying it's flammable.

07:48

I'm saying it's, it's you might eat a lot.

07:50

Gluten free.

07:51

Yeah, it's gluten free, man.

07:53

It's, it's so much better than this one.

07:55

This one could have been something.

07:56

Yes, I agree.

07:58

Yep.

07:59

You're right.

07:59

That was my point.

08:00

It looks so great with your, your fit today.

08:02

Thank you.

08:03

This is moving to, I don't know if we're ranking these.

08:06

Are we ranking these?

08:07

Yeah, I thought you'd.

08:08

A little distance makes it, makes it work.

08:10

But if you're, if I get right up on it.

08:13

08:23

Okay.

08:25

Yay!

08:27

This is the.

08:27

This is last place.

08:29

Okay.

08:30

Oh, you, no.

08:32

Rooty and Tooty love this.

08:34

Yeah, y'all did.

08:35

Tooty over here.

08:37

Oh, my goodness, y'all.

08:38

Is this a limited time for that garlic stuff?

08:41

No, I think that this, I think these are just out now.

08:43

I think.

08:45

But, I hope they keep that one because that's so good.

08:47

The only way you can get it right now is in

08:49

the pizza container.

08:50

So it's like.

08:51

Yeah.

08:53

It's the, I think you need it. I think you need it in your house.

08:55

I think it's a must buy.

08:56

And then we have some new M&M's.

08:58

Is that fun?

08:59

I think it's fun.

09:01

What are they?

09:02

This is Easter Sundae.

09:04

It's a pun.

09:08

Oh, sundae with a A-E.

09:12

But, well, are they expired?

09:14

It's kind of late for that.

09:15

Oh, are they year round?

09:18

I think these will probably be out all

09:19

spring, like past Easter.

09:22

These stuff, I feel like these are on shelves

09:23

for a little while.

09:24

So, they've got like a, they've got layers.

09:29

White and dark chocolate.

09:33

They're big and kind of fat.

09:35

So, it's kind of like an ice cream flavor on the inside?

09:39

One of them kind of tastes like cake.

09:41

Okay.

09:43

I think it has a very prominent cherry flavor.

09:45

It doesn't even say that on that part.

09:47

On the front of the package, but then

09:48

it says it on the back.

09:49

And it tastes like a chocolate covered cherry to me, and

09:51

I think it's really good.

09:52

Yeah, and I'm a chocolate covered cherry person.

09:55

A lot of people don't know that about me.

09:56

Am I getting cherry from all of it, or just the red ones?

09:58

Some liquid would come out.

10:01

Did you have, did you have chocolate covered cherries?

10:04

Like, was that a gift at your home?

10:05

Like, my mom would, would, would give me,

10:07

like that set of 12.

10:10

And I would, every time, I would think to

10:13

myself, I'm really gonna cherish these this time.

10:17

Cherry-ish them.

10:18

I've got 12 of these, I'm gonna take 12 days, it's

10:21

gonna be like my own little Hanukkah, I don't know

10:23

how many days there are in Hanukkah, and I'm not Jewish,

10:25

but I'm like, I'm really gonna take my time to get

10:29

through these, and then like seven minutes later I'll be

10:31

on the last one, eating it.

10:34

Hating myself.

10:35

I know, the kind that had like, it was like, ;ike

10:38

a gel inside kind of, and then like, those are so good.

10:42

And there's something so fake, there's something

10:44

so fake about them, that's what I love, it's like, this

10:46

isn't even a real cherry.

10:47

Yeah.

10:48

I love it.

10:49

But those, yeah, those are like.

10:50

Rooty and Tooty

10:51

at it again over there.

10:53

I'm all for this.

10:56

I like it better than the Lay's.

10:57

Okay.

10:58

I'm willing to do that.

11:00

I really like them too.

11:01

White chocolate, dark chocolate.

11:03

What do we have here, Mrs.

11:06

Stuart?

11:06

Okay, so these are.

11:07

"Steward"?

11:08

No.

11:10

"Steward"?

11:10

No, it's just Stuart.

11:12

Right.

11:12

But it's got like two W's?

11:14

No.

11:16

It's got two Y's?

11:16

No.

11:17

Your first name has like a couple of Y's

11:18

in it, I believe.

11:19

Your first name has two N's and two D's

11:22

and two G's, right?

11:23

I think it's just consonants.

11:24

Yeah.

11:25

Like, did your parents know about vowels?

11:28

No.

11:29

Okay.

11:30

No.

11:31

So, the last name is just a straight up Stuart?

11:33

It's got two W's.

11:34

I know it does.

11:36

When I picture your last name, it has two W's

11:38

and two T's on the end.

11:39

What did your parents do for a?

11:42

What kind of cult were your parents in?

11:44

Oh, my God.

11:45

The vowel-less kind?

11:46

I don't know.

11:47

What do they do for a living?

11:50

How do they scratch it together?

11:52

They're retired.

11:53

I'm old, you know that.

11:54

But I mean, what, what, what, what, what, what,

11:57

what's, what's their line of work, where do they come

11:59

from, what's their lineage?

12:00

Okay, okay, they were, you know, blue

12:03

collar kind of people.

12:04

Okay, so, like circus, circus workers.

12:07

They were drug dealers.

12:11

Hey, Jay-Z was a drug dealer.

12:13

You're making it sound really shaky.

12:15

Whatever it was.

12:17

They were blue collar types.

12:18

Yeah, yeah, they were.

12:20

Yeah, independent contractors.

12:23

Okay.

12:24

All right.

12:24

I see.

12:25

This is, this is a little sus.

12:27

They help people swim with the fishes.

12:29

What are these?

12:30

So, these are Pop-Tarts Bites.

12:32

They're like Pop-Tarts, but they're bite sized.

12:34

But this is a flavor of, okay, so this is Frosted Cinnamon

12:37

Roll, and this used to be a flavor of Pop-Tart that

12:40

people liked a whole lot that was discontinued, but now

12:43

you can get it in bite form.

12:44

So, I think this is important to people.

12:46

What do we think?

12:48

They, they're a different consistency than a

12:53

regular Pop-Tart.

12:54

They're more, airy.

13:00

But it does make you feel like,

13:05

you've eaten a Pop-Tart without eating a Pop-Tart.

13:07

Yeah.

13:08

And usually I eat two because there's two in there.

13:10

And they're dry, you know, by the time you eat a whole

13:12

one you're parched, but this is just kinda nice.

13:15

And are these the only flavor that they've

13:17

released in Bites so far?

13:18

There's like strawberry, I think there's

13:19

a few other flavors too.

13:21

These are nice, you itching down there?

13:23

I'm wearing tights in them, my legs are kind of itchy.

13:25

Okay.

13:27

I'm giving you such a hard time.

13:29

But I mean, you're scratching.

13:30

Thanks for noticing.

13:31

Scratching your kneecap.

13:32

I feel like that could be,

13:34

potentially a cereal.

13:36

Yeah.

13:37

Pour some milk on it, if they get a little parched.

13:38

I know, stop.

13:40

Jesus.

13:42

I honestly, I hate to do this to you, Gwynedd, but

13:45

I just feel like, just from a practical standpoint.

13:48

Hit.

13:49

These are, you know, you're gonna like, this

13:51

is a less weird snack.

13:52

This is your show.

13:53

You're more likely to go back to these.

13:55

Yeah, I really.

13:55

They're not supposed to be ranking.

13:56

I really like those, and I like how much frosting

13:58

we have on them, too.

14:00

Oh, I'm excited about these.

14:01

I wonder if this gives it a run for their money.

14:03

Lay it on us.

14:03

Okay, these are Milanos that are flavored to taste

14:08

like a London Fog, which is an Earl Grey latte.

14:13

Yes, they are so good.

14:15

I wasn't aware of this being like a coffee shop trend

14:18

until I tried these cookies.

14:21

I've said it before, I'll say it again, there's

14:23

a really good pie at, The Pie Hole, is that

14:27

where we get those pies?

14:28

Earl Grey tea pie.

14:30

It was, so I'm hoping that it'll be

14:33

reminiscent of that.

14:34

It sounds so good.

14:35

Why does it taste like a Froot Loop to me?

14:38

- I kind of get what you're saying. - It's an aromatic

14:43

From the tea.

14:44

Yeah.

14:44

Wow.

14:48

Do you like it?

14:49

I love it.

14:49

I love it.

14:51

This is my favorite of everything so far.

14:53

I like it.

14:54

I love them.

14:54

I love these so much.

14:57

I like it because it tastes

14:58

like a Froot Loop.

14:58

And dipping these in milk.

14:59

Have you done that?

15:02

You dip these in your tea.

15:04

Yes, queen.

15:06

Your head's gonna explode.

15:07

Yeah.

15:08

I'm putting them at number one.

15:09

Yas.

15:11

Number one?

15:12

No, it doesn't go above the garlic ranch.

15:14

Yeah, it does, right?

15:15

No, it doesn't.

15:15

I am not getting between you two when it comes to this.

15:21

Okay.

15:21

I think they're incredible.

15:22

Oh, wow.

15:23

I think they're a revelation.

15:25

I'm over here anyway.

15:26

What, what is happening?

15:28

Look, look, look at this, y'all.

15:31

Okay.

15:31

So, here's something else.

15:33

Gwynedd, you have to defend yourself on this one.

15:34

What in the world?

15:35

Okay, I'm like, I'm like a little iffy on these.

15:38

Old El Paso.

15:41

They're Old El Paso Stand n' Stuff Taco Shells that

15:43

are coated in Cinnadust.

15:46

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnadust.

15:49

Here's the thing.

15:50

I, when I saw that these were coming out, I

15:51

envisioned that they would be made out of like, I

15:54

don't know, like a,

15:55

like flaky, airy, kind of like flour tortilla

15:58

situation, but it's corn.

16:00

So, they really are just corn tortilla shells that

16:03

are covered in cinnamon.

16:05

Do you think, not to get theological on you, but do you

16:09

think that God looks down and sees that we have done

16:13

this and then begins to set the clock on ending

16:16

all of?

16:18

Yeah, I mean, the sooner the better, baby.

16:21

What do you mean?

16:22

I mean.

16:23

This is like, this is what Japanese cuisine

16:28

has been for years, man.

16:30

You mean weird mixes like this?

16:31

Yeah.

16:31

- Yeah. - Yeah.

16:32

God sees Japan, man. This is on Japan, not us.

16:36

I don't, there's just something about, there's

16:38

something about it being done in America that makes

16:40

it feel extra, extra wrong.

16:43

Because we're above it?

16:45

No, I'm just saying.

16:45

We're below it like.

16:47

We've already, everything is just so excessive.

16:49

It feels like they're doing it for fun in Japan,

16:52

but in America, we're actually eating it all.

16:54

You know what I'm saying?

16:55

It's like.

16:56

They're laughing while they're doing it.

16:57

Right, they're doing it ironically, and we're

16:59

doing it unironically.

17:01

We're like, yeah.

17:03

So, answer the question, Gwynedd.

17:04

What?

17:05

What does God think?

17:06

When is God gonna end the world, Gwynedd?

17:08

I really.

17:09

I don't like biting ice cream.

17:12

I don't know, but I will remember that

17:15

it's partly my fault.

17:17

Yeah.

17:18

That is what you're kind of saying, Rhett.

17:21

Okay, well now that I eat it, I like it.

17:22

Okay.

17:23

Good.

17:24

What do you like about it?

17:26

The corn?

17:27

It's so corny.

17:28

I like the texture.

17:31

It's like a cannoli.

17:33

Okay.

17:34

It's like a cannoli.

17:35

- Yeah, but. - I can't help myself.

17:36

It's pretty hard to eat.

17:37

Yeah, but taste it while you're eating it.

17:42

It's, it's, I tried not to do that.

17:45

It's just a corn tortilla with cinnamon on it.

17:47

Everything she said, she's right about what

17:51

it led you to believe.

17:52

That it's horrible.

17:53

Don't listen to Rhett.

17:54

I think I'd probably prefer an ice cream cone.

17:57

To be honest with you.

17:59

I think that these are fun.

18:02

And people should buy them because they're fun.

18:05

And then like throw out half of the package or something.

18:08

It's so bad.

18:08

Once they've had their fun.

18:09

It's so bad.

18:10

I just think it needs a warning on it.

18:12

Put it in the compost.

18:13

Yeah.

18:13

Warning, for fun only, not to actually eat.

18:17

Yes.

18:17

I think it's worse than this.

18:19

Okay.

18:19

Wow!

18:20

Okay.

18:20

I see your side.

18:21

That's fine.

18:23

Alright.

18:24

Oh, look at these coming hot.

18:26

Do you guys like White Castle?

18:30

I like the idea of White Castle.

18:32

Well, it wasn't as, it wasn't hot until she

18:35

said it was hot and then I realized it was hot.

18:37

She like, Navya brought it in,

18:41

with a hot glove.

18:43

Well, I mean, I'm just gonna ask.

18:46

Why'd you put it somewhere where I had to grab it?

18:47

Hey, hey, is it hot?

18:51

It actually wasn't, it wasn't that hot.

18:54

But if you wanna move it, I would say use this.

18:56

I don't wanna, I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna reach

18:57

onto the plate and get it.

18:59

It's not.

19:00

So, what I'm hoping for in biting these

19:02

is that White Castle has a thing where the burgers,

19:07

they're not really burgers.

19:08

You know what I'm saying?

19:09

They taste like something else.

19:10

They taste like a fast food slider, which is not a burger.

19:15

Not to be compared with burgers.

19:18

And if it tastes just like those tastes, then

19:21

I think it'll be good.

19:22

If they've captured that in a little hot bite.

19:25

And it's just cheeseburger?

19:26

Yeah, but it's like a pizza roll.

19:29

I'll just eat it off the table.

19:34

They did it.

19:35

Right?

19:36

That's what they taste like.

19:37

That's what I was hoping it would taste like.

19:39

I, these grew on me a lot.

19:42

Cause it's like a fun idea.

19:45

And I really like White Castle.

19:47

And you would have to.

19:49

Yes.

19:50

It's a very specific flavor.

19:51

You're right.

19:53

If you like White Castle sliders, you'll like these.

19:57

Where's the nearest one of those?

19:58

I think these are better than a White Castle slider.

20:01

Wow.

20:02

But I don't know that I'm saying much.

20:06

I don't think they're better.

20:07

Because you get the soft bun on top of those.

20:10

I know.

20:10

That's the best part.

20:11

And the onions and all of that.

20:13

I love that.

20:14

I think maybe Vegas is the closest one?

20:17

That's the closest one?

20:19

We don't have one in Southern California?

20:20

I don't think so.

20:21

God smiles on Vegas.

20:25

It's so true.

20:26

And their White Castle.

20:27

That's their, that's their, that's their slogan, right?

20:30

God smiles on Vegas.

20:31

All right.

20:32

Are we, are we through everything?

20:33

Can we summarize our choices?

20:34

Yes.

20:35

Well, I think I don't.

20:36

I'm gonna leave this right here.

20:38

But I don't, I think they're a little bit

20:40

better than the Pop-Tarts.

20:42

I really like those M&M's.

20:43

Yeah.

20:44

They're not, they're not at the top though.

20:46

I mean, I mean, I'm Milano Earl Grey, but

20:50

this is also a revelation.

20:52

- Yep. - Yeah.

20:52

So, you got dinner, you got dessert.

20:54

If your dinner is a sauce.

20:56

Really sophisticated choice, too, to put the

20:58

Milano's number one.

20:59

God likes that.

21:01

Yes, we've staved off the end of the world once again.

21:04

Tell your parents happy retirement.

21:05

I will.
