Certain foods remind me of a very specific time in my life. And one of those foods is

R, I should say, the cupcakes from a little bakery in New York called Magnolia.

Magnolia. Yeah, yeah, they were so good. But they were, they, I think they were on, they were featured on

Sex in the city, maybe you're on some show. And then they just blew up in popularity. I lived not too far from there in my, in my earlier

Time in my 20s. And after they became popular, there were lines around the corner from Magnolia. And I associated with a very specific time in New York.

It was a fun time in my life. But I remember being so giddy to get those cupcakes. And there was something fun, even about standing in the

Line because you knew you were in a line with like people who shared this thing with you. This thing that you really loved.

Pretty social media too. Yeah, it was wasn't it? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, that that it was able to take off pretty, I guess that happens a lot more now with

Social Media because people say, oh, go to this place or whatever. But it was, yeah, it was like a viral hit before there were viral hits.

Yeah, it was a thing before there were so many things now things are more common, I think. But you know what I want right now?

Cupcake. Yes. But you know what? I actually prefer the ones you make at home, the like Duncan Hines, the

What? Agreed to disagree. Oh really? Those are great. Those are great too. But for me, my one complaint with Magnolia is the icing was too sweet.

I used to have to cut the icing in like half. Anyway, if chew on that. So to speak. Yeah, I wish I had now I want to both one and Magnolia cupcakes.

Life could be a dream. Life could be a dream. Oh, you're listening to life is short. I am your now slightly hungry host just in long.

Life could be a dream sweetheart. Do do do do. And with me as always is my sweet teeth. How do you describe someone with more than one? No, you can have sweet teeth. It's a sweet tooth.

No, people with a sweet tooth aren't people who just have one to I know that was really dumb. Should we start over? No, you love this.

You prefer Magnolia cupcakes to I think it was a much much higher quality cupcake than it with a cake. It's like a box. I love those

box. Don't get me wrong. Those box Duncan hides the vanilla with the chocolate top. The best. I think of the four permutations.

Permutation of vanilla cake chocolate cake vanilla frosting chocolate frosting. What is your favorite combination question? Well with Magnolia, it was vanilla vanilla.

Really? Yeah. But with the box ones, it's vanilla chocolate. But I also you know the Magnolia one I liked was the red. I got really into the red.

Red velvet chocolate. The one with a like slightly cream cheese. And I don't like cream cheese, but they cream cheese. You ate a lot of those.
