0:00 [Music] okay so did you guys know that an ice cream man um once existed who used to taste ice cream for dryers and he did so good at his job they ensured his taste buds for up to one million dollars with an insurance company dude that's a true thing it's a true thing it's a fact his name is john harrison i remember when i was watching uh a pretty classic episode of um mr rogers oh i was gonna say mom and like would you ████ mom or dad was a classic character that was a pretty classic yeah that's up for the stream yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that's up for streaming through the conversation do you guys remember mr rogers and the ████ train would come out and then they will take you to a different portal yeah make-believe yeah and then they had different um stuff away educational like themes right and one was like different
0:51 jobs yeah and one was an ice cream tester that was a ████ job and all the kids saw that ████ and i remember we all talked about it at school like did you know that there's a job where you could just test ice cream all day and everyone's like oh my god it's so cool and for me i was like ooh why did i have to be so ████ lactose and he'd be like well daniel do you know what lactose is that's pretty good i love the way you took a sweater i wonder if it sucks to be an ice cream tester the way that being a video game tester ended up sucking oh yeah no but like like i knew people that did that and it was like not what it they probably insured his taste buds for a million but they paid him 15 ████ you know a thousand a year probably all you do is eat ice cream all the time you think eat ice cream so good guess what i'm ████ chilly i have to wear a coat day i get cold all the time
1:43 they spit it out dude he has to eat it in the freezer [Laughter] what if he's the funny thing like nick too and he like hates all the flavors who made this you should die not my favorite rocky road what the ████ is a toffee nut what's a neapolitan bro just call it ████ strawberry chocolate and vanilla just split the flavors separately you gotta get fancy bro we all got it already like you should die it should die we don't need them all together just call it segregation ice cream exactly uh so yeah no this starts in 1880 when harrison's great grandfather opened two ice cream parlors in new york and sometime later his grandfather started the first dairy co-op in tennessee after that his father owned an atlanta-based dairy factory and his uncle owned a memphis-based ice cream
2:34 factory and then he was an assistant taster for his uncle that's how he like got in the game that sounds telephony he's an apprentice assistant uncle he goes let me show you the ropes are tasted son right so and and that's what happened basically so in 1980 he joined dreyers which was then known as ed's in the eastern u.s like carl's jr and hardy's right and and he was the the company's head tester that's where he retired in 2010 i wonder how many testers do they got they do have they do have quite a few but he um he tasted but but really swallowed yep a few hundred million gallons of ice cream he pointed at you anything i don't swallow much they have to go through so much they go up or they'd be ████ jabba dude they'd be like the gluttony and ████ um that's happening i don't trust like ████ prestigious cooks or chefs that
3:24 like aren't ████ fat you know what i'm talking about oh yeah like they gotta be fat yeah yeah well no it's not that they gotta be obviously there's a bunch of like very very fit amazing cooks but when they're fat i'm like yeah probably i'm gonna ████ eat this i was watching this ramen documentary and then this dude he's a ramen chef right but he's so ████ into ramen that he eats it every day so after he's done uh cooking he goes out and he goes to his competitors ramen shops but he doesn't go to one he'll have a whole bowl he'll ████ drink the suit and then he'll walk to the next one and he'll hit a ████ another bowl and this guy is skinny and everyone's just trying their ████ just to see what he's passionate about it yeah so it's r d like well he's he's researching the competition seeing what's out there but he just loves ramen anytime you get to ████ eat food and call it r d that's just so sick yeah
4:14 that's good that's a fun time so ████ sick it's how i feel when i get to like do a business right off of like a meal that i'm having with my wife and i'm like we talked about our ████ business today it was a business meeting we talked about our business that's kind of like the thing that's happening yeah i want to try this for the cool kids continuity is ruined your chair definitely says joe on it i mean joe's more corporate i don't know if he can handle it because we're more blue collar hello his says steve iceman but you're sitting next to steve wait where am i oh oh no his says steve i have the tif chair oh ████ congrats that's the host chair uh so according to harrison it's all in the taste buds right when did you guys start doing this so he we're pretty cool man he claims that he invented he co-invented cookies and cream and could immediately tell the difference between 12
5:04 versus 11.5 percent fat in a product wow tastes better do you think he would know how to do the pepsi challenge what's the pepsi challenge pepsi versus coke they would like give you a blind taste test challenge right they would have two dixie cups full of pepsi and coke do you think you could and they'd like taste one which one's better i feel like but then they only aired the one that was uh pepsi anytime somebody chose coke they just deleted it from the commercial one of the one of the things one of the uh very few brand deals i ever did for the tubes was for pepsi and i remember being so bummed because i love coke me too yeah i was like oh i ████ hate you pepsi you suck i used to be a coke man but then bart turned me i mean a pepsi man but barf turned me into coke is too sweet yeah pepsi does this weird thing i was originally a coke man and then i went to pepsi when i was younger and then when i started traveling coke s████ on pepsi
5:54 around the world ████ with it like destroys it well why is that mexican coke is actually better than you mexican coke is like ████ i'm observant i see you what's what's your defense because we think your ████ taste buds are wow he drinks his surge i like pepsi as a packaged cola i like coke as a fountain drink i like i like your style dude i don't know i like your stuff i'll take i'll take a can of coke still yeah yeah but you know what you each their own i like ryan as a punched face and an anal dash so um he says all in the taste buds right so um he was so valuable to dryers that they had they paid to insure his taste buds for a million dollars because they thought that what he did was such a value added their product that it was like worth it i wonder what he does like like quality control to make sure that the batch of ice cream is consistent yeah and why is there a breyers and a dryers
6:46 because it's always confusing ████ similar man i don't know this is jk news we don't know those answers because i need to know i need to can you can you can you call it thank you okay why is there that's a ████ good question why is there briars and you think they're like ████ best friends that had to break up yeah i mean because both of them don't mean ice cream it's someone's name i got you ready the root of the confusion dates back to 1850 uh 1953 when edie's grand ice cream was changed to dryers grand ice cream seeking to eliminate the confusion that this created dreyer's changed his name back to the home market of briars from dreyer's grand i'm more confused what the ████ wait so there's the same company but they produce two different times you google it and then it's a game of mousetrap and you're like oh no you
7:37 know why because it's just some guy who wrote the article he probably doesn't ████ know wait dryers and briars are the same company yeah i thought it was two different ways why the ████ did they do that time is that like ████ honda and acura no they're two totally different companies it says and this one too oh my god i'm so confused now too that's not even is that like is that like nike and jordan yeah let's just say that i think it's like lexus and toyota right now alexis is like very clearly like the luxury line of the toyota yes so which one's the better one dryers are briars lexus and toyota are the same it says it says jordan and nike are the same shut the ████ up with your wet ass hat happening what's happening this hat still soaked oh no do you have a favorite ice cream company am i allowed to do a shameless plug yeah don't tell me ken just coming out with ice cream no don't tell me cage has
8:33 go ahead if you shop at gelsons go get some clemon k-l-i-m-o-n it's no milk backwards no no milk no dairy no difference what what is in there well how is that it's just a dairy free ice cream that tastes like regular ice cream and they have my favorite is the ████ uh orange bang flavored one that's what i need though dude ask for steve rollups because we're limited time only but we are emerging get a steve roloff yeah fruit punch fruit punch is my favorite there's fruit pies from the screenshots it just sounds already like a ████ good setup ████ roll-ups dude don't sleep on it i haven't i have like a limited time partnership with trader joe's is it like what is that like a fruit leather i hope
9:23 i'm gonna try it i have a limited time partnership i'm gonna try it people what's happening it's happening wait what's what's your connection with clemon clemone that's my buddy's ice cream that's like killing it right now but it's like really good but it's good for people that are lactose intolerant yeah yeah so i actually so because i went to this house to do a taste he's like dude you gotta taste these before and they're they're actually in walmart's uh nationwide right now they just came out and they're in gelsen's now but she's like i did a table this is the last time i did a taste test so he like gave me like cherry bomb which is pretty much like cherry infused like vanilla stuff give me like an orange bang flavor type thing i don't remember what's called a bunch of other random stuff like double chocolate whatever i ████ did you guys like orange julius or orange yeah orange creamsicle stuff that's what i'm saying that but like that flavor but it's like no dairy i'm like because i i'm not i'm like kind of like lactose in that like i'll still suffer it but i'll
10:15 be farting all day yeah what i'm saying i'm painful lactose so like my stomach will well that's what i'm saying so now now when i'm eating like a dairy-free ice cream that tastes the same i'm like ████ yeah but it tastes the same it really does it does because dude we cut some quarters of steep roll-ups and i think we lost away you know doesn't taste like fruit at all tastes like dick i'm listening to your story and i'm like we got some corners and i think i lost the vision of what my product was supposed to be what is the packaging what's the packaging look like how do we know i ████ had but yeah i think i just think that we lost our way and i think that we let the consumerism like take over you sound like gustavus from ratatouille right now dude that's you guys heard it here first trader joe's steve rollups it was just supposed to be a great product
