The new Red Bull Dragonberry Energizer is now at McDonald's.

Made with freeze-dried dragon fruit and made to lock in.

The all-new Energizer, now at McDonald's.

Ah, DSW, birthplace of the humble brag.

Here, the shoes are so good, no one would ever know how little you paid.

If you didn't go telling everyone that is.

And with never-ending options for every style, mood, and occasion,

all at really great prices.

We'll definitely give you something to brag about.

So go ahead, stock up on fresh sneakers from your favorite brands.

Or try those boots you always secretly knew you could pull off.

Find the shoes that get you, at prices that get your budget,

at DSW stores or at DSW.com.

Let us surprise you!

At Vrbo, we understand that even the best of plans sometimes need a little support.

So we plan for the plot twists.

Every booking is automatically backed by our Vrbo Care Guarantee,

giving you confidence from the very start.

Whenever you need help, it's ready.

Before your stay, through the moments in between, and after your trip.

Because a great trip starts with peace of mind.

And maybe a good playlist.

But we've got the peace of mind part covered.

Don't think you can set a package of Nutter Butter cookies in front of me.

Oh, no.

And not think I'm going to eat them all.

Now, I'm not going to say I'm blameless in this, because I bought the cookies.

But before we get into that, here's a related complaint.

When you go to the grocery store, do you go to the Kroger?

What do you go to?

We go multiple places, Rob.

Sure you do.

Yeah.

You got to get the things that you need, baby.

Where's your primary grocer?

It's going to be between Kroger and Aldi.

Okay.

We've got a brand spanking new Aldi.

Let's leave Aldi out of it, because it's a little too modern right now.

Aldi's not modern?

Well, yeah.

If you compare it to a Kroger or Giant or Safeway, or Albertsons if you're on the West Coast.

It's newish to America, is what I'm saying.

It's German, yeah.

You need the quarters there, right?

I mean, I've known about Aldi.

Yeah, but I had an Aldi in college.

That's a deal, by the way, to get a shopping cart for a quarter?

You have to give it back, Rob.

What?

Anyway, we also have a Lidl here.

And I made a passerby.

Yeah, LIDL.

It's owned by, I honestly think it's owned by the brother of the guy that runs Aldi.

It's a whole thing.

But all I know is that when I went to, when they opened the Lidl, LIDL, in Ashburn,

my mother and I, who both have a past in grocery, wanted to tour it and see what's up here, right?

You don't need a quarter there.

But they do have the large carts and the smaller ones.

And you were just walking around.

You don't need a quarter there. But they do have the large carts and the smaller ones. And you were just walking around. Give me a mini cart any day, especially if they're double-deckers. Well, you see, you're missing the joke. My mom said, which cart should I get? I said, get a Lidl one. And the lady next to me busted out laughing. I said, wow, that's not even the top-shelf material. But I do most of my shopping at Giant, which is fine. Someone might have shaken up that marijuana soda. Anyway, when you go down the cookie aisle, which I think is seven at my store. Okay. And you look at the cookies. Do you realize the percentage of cookie shelf space that is represented just by Oreo products? It's like a third of it. And that is too much. I want something else. Give me a choice. Give me some more ginger snaps. Give me some more vanilla wafers. How many flavors of Oreo? And they don't even stock famous chocolate wafers anymore. No, first of all, I don't like Oreos. But there's so many. There's got to be one you like. What about the lemon ones? The lemon. So I would do a lemon Oreo. But the traditional. Yeah. What about a double stuff or a mega stuff? No, I don't like. What about the white ones? The ones that are just like vanilla. No. No. What about the ones that taste like Selena Gomez that they're putting out? I'm sorry. They might not actually taste like Selena Gomez. She's on Oreos? But they've got her name on it. Yeah. They're like signature. They did cherry Coke Oreos. I'm just saying it, you know what, here's a little something for the National Biscuit Company to pay attention to. All right. And you know them as Nabisco, but I'm not going to mince any words. I want everyone to know what I have to say. I'm laying it on the line. When Hydrox was invented by the Sunshine Baking Company, they had a cookie. It was the Hydrox cookie. By the way, if you find them, are still better than Oreos. But then the National Biscuit Company, who are just driven with hatred. I hate big biscuit. I hate big cookie. But you're a little cookie. You're a little cookie. Okay. But big, okay, I hate big bakery, and I cannot lie. Those other suckers can't deny the fact that Oreo has taken it and run with it. Their cookie is about 95, 90% as good as a Hydrox. And now they've got all different fillings, and they've got different thicknesses of fillings. They just do that too now. There's like creamsicle Coca-Cola and stuff. But the thing is, is that Coke and Pepsi still get equal representation on the shelf. I'm talking that maybe a third of the cookies at my grocer love saying grocer. Have you filled out one of those? What? Have you filled out a card? A comment card? Better. Better. I put something on TikTok. You did not. I did not. Okay. I did not. But if I did, it would go like this. Hi, this is Neil Sedaka, and I like cookies other than an Oreo. So how about another little extra space and giving me some chocolate pinwheels? A snickerdoodle. I'd love it. A good oatmeal cookie, animal cookie. There's so many variants out there. And so what I did, let's get back to the task at hand. I bought Nutter Butters, which what people, I think it might also be an offering from the National Biscuit Company, but it's a peanut shaped sandwich cookie. Did you know they were peanut shaped? Yes. I can boogie with a Nutter Butter. I can get down with a Nutter Butter. And then, you know, you've got your peanut butter filling. And then as my cousin John, when he was little, he would say, there's an up cookie and a down cookie. And in the middle is the peanut butter. And so that's what they've got. And they are so good that if you set me down with a bag of Nutter Butters, some nice cold whole milk, they are history gone. So I take responsible for buying. I take responsible. I take responsibility for buying them and for eating them. But maybe there should have been someone to run interference between putting the entire package in front of me. Could you eat an entire package of Nutter Butters? Are you talking like a four pack? Like you get at the, like the. No, I'm talking like the pound, like the whole deal. Oh, that changes the story. It does. It changes the narrative. I'm controlling the narrative just like Alec Baldwin. How's your insulin? Oh, it's great. I'm fine. After a bag of cookies, yeah. I need to, hold on. I've got to run this by the Google. How many are? Well, I don't buy them a lot. So it's not like an everyday thing. How many in a package? Right now, zero. How many? Okay. I don't understand this at all. It says a package of Nutter Butter cookies, depending on the size, can contain anywhere from 10 to 48. 48 would be two stacks. It might have been 48. Is there a smaller one? Is there like a 36? Do you need to lie down? No, this was days ago, right before I got sick. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Okay. But I know you don't. I thought you, I was honestly thinking, why are you making such a big deal over four Nutter Butter? No, no, I'm not talking about that. I'm not talking about the ones you throw in your kids' lunch, if you had kids and if you had lunch. I'm talking about the bag. It looks like it's going to be 48, Rob. Well, you know what? That's fine. I enjoyed them very much. I know that you've logged a little bit of time on TikTok and everything. Yes. Have you seen the Nutter Butter TikTok account? No, I bet it's great. It is bizarre. You know what I did? I watched it 40. I clicked on it 48 times. It's completely unhinged. It's completely unhinged. Yeah, do you think, and there's a lot of companies that do like weird TikTok stuff. Yeah. Do you think they got like a screwball running it? Yes. That'd be a good job for you. They're up there. So there's a couple other places. Did you just say that would be a good job for me? You think it wouldn't? I could come up with some wackery. Yeah, I think you could do that. You could do some Nutter Butter related puns. Punnery. Yes. Somebody hire me now. But I think, let's see, Duolingo has like a real, but like a little bit scary. Like there's a couple of them that are way out there. Duolingo, oh, you're talking about their page, not their process. Because they just want you to learn English, right? Or another language. Yeah. Freaky. Did you, it's either Instagram or TikTok. And one of them, Kentucky Fried Chicken, only follows the five Spice Girls. Yes. And six guys named Herb. Yes. Herbs and Spices. Now that's funny. That's hilarious. It is. I went through when I first got on Instagram and just accepted friend requests from everybody. And it got whorey really quick. Ew. Yeah. There's a lot of women out there that want to, you know, show off. And that's fine. There's a lot of men out there too. You're just a different target. Well, okay. This is, well, you're right. I'm not saying that. I know I'm right. I wasn't saying anything hopefully offensive. I'm just saying how I was affected by it. And then I had to go and delete all of this nuttiness. Yeah. Nuttiness. Well, yeah, because I mean, what I want to know, I want to see weird clips of Aubrey Plaza. I want to see Patton. I want to see the people that make me laugh. Not, you know, the ladies that are making like the face at the gym, like with the, just being, you know, they're trying to be, what is it? Alluring? Yeah. Yeah. Like a duck face at the gym. I don't want that. No. No. Of course not. Well, a lot of people do it. Mm-hmm. Not me. Any duck faces on the Nutter Butter site? Uh, I don't know. Mm. That's a, watch it offline. Like, but before you drink one of your weed drinks. No, we're calling them marijuana sodas is what we're calling, like from Minnesota. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And of course, you know, anyone who listens to the Mike O'Mara podcast, which is also on, um, this is the out of office, sparkling TMC, raspberry lemonade. Mm-hmm. And it's tasty. It's sweetened with agave. Um, I don't usually buy cookies in the bakery section. I do. They've got this one kind of- Does this show have to be all about me? Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Gives it kind of a cookie. I understand. You know, we finally found our, the reason the show was named that. With Nutter Butter? No, yeah. The new name of the show is Nutter and Butter. And which are you? I'm Nutter. Of course you are. Making me the fat guy. Butter. Hey, Butters. Hey, Butter. No, I'm going to put an S on it. I like it better. Can we just call you Butters? Well, there was a, Mike O'Mara plays the tape of that excellent hockey fight, and there was a- Oh! Just a tough, tough guy on the Wailers named Butters. Butters. Bill Butters. And he said, here comes Butters. Ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. We're going to have to change that. Speaking of opening the show. Oh, we probably should. But anyway, yeah, you know what? Less Oreo, more variety. How about that? Okay. And you know, my Aunt Lina, would it kill you to make me a batch of chocolate chip cookies? Huh? Animal cookies. Iced or not? Oh, not. Oh, iced. Mmm. An iced animal cracker? Oh, yeah. Yeah. No. I'm against ice. I don't do that. Me too. I'm going to have my protest pants on tomorrow. Protest? Oh, different kind of. Are they the same protest pants you wore to, uh, with Julia? Same pants? It did. Probably different pants. I actually don't know what I'm wearing tomorrow, but. Well, I just ask, please, for God's sakes, look fabulous. Mike O'Mara, Radio Entertainment. Cake and cookies. Rob and Katie. It's the Rob and Katie Show. Sometimes you play the a
