00:00Panthers, they are in action at 7, Leroy, skating with the Jets.
00:06And that'll be on AM 560, 7 o'clock is your puck drop.
00:10Paul Maurice today at Morning Skate is from Panthers Vision.
00:13He was asked about Halloween plans after they have a little off time for the weekend.
00:19Here's what he had to say.
00:20Halloween game plan.
00:25I love it when my kids were young.
00:27It was possibly my favorite.
00:33You know, my wife would dress the kids up in dragon costumes and all kinds of stuff like that.
00:40We were in Carolina when they were very young, so it wasn't too cold.
00:44It wasn't the winter coat over top of your costume.
00:47I loved Halloween for all the little faces, so we'll sit out front tomorrow night
00:52and unload as much candy as we can.
00:54Are you a full candy bar guy?
00:57I'm not responsible.
00:59I'm not allowed to buy things at my house.
01:01And rightfully so.
01:02Right?
01:03But we would be.
01:04Yeah, we would be doing that.
01:06But I don't know what her plan is yet.
01:08Wow.
01:09All right.
01:10Are you a big candy bar?
01:12No!
01:14Why?
01:14You don't seem like the kind of guy that give big candy bars to the children.
01:19You know what?
01:19I got accused of one year.
01:21So, you know, when I get candy, I get a ton.
01:25Right?
01:25Did you get accused of stealing other kids' candy?
01:27No.
01:28Mm-hmm.
01:31So, I get the candy I like.
01:36And everybody would get mad because they go, you're just getting the candy you like so
01:42you can have all the leftovers.
01:44Yes.
01:45That's the right thing to do.
01:47Yeah.
01:47Why do I want to buy candy I don't like?
01:49Right.
01:50Well, I got nasty candy.
01:52Yeah.
01:52Right.
01:53So, what are you going to have, like, Tootsie Rolls?
01:56Like, Tootsie Rolls suck.
01:57Tootsie Rolls suck.
01:59When people say about Almond Joys, what are we doing?
02:02Are we still doing the Almond Joys?
02:04People used to do that when I was a kid.
02:07Yeah.
02:08I just think that buying the big candy bar won.
02:10Here's the thing.
02:11I feel like you run out of inventory quicker.
02:15And the word's going to spread to the kids.
02:18And so, like.
02:22Hey, whole candy bars.
02:25Whole candy bars at the Tobin house.
02:27And this might be an unpopular opinion, but I find that small size candy is actually better
02:32than full size.
02:34I think it tastes better.
02:36Not if you eat 30 of them.
02:37No, I think it tastes better.
02:38It doesn't.
02:39I think it does.
02:40So, what happens here?
02:42No, I'm being so serious.
02:44Like, you mean, like, candy as far as, like, Sour Patch Kids, or you think all candy in
02:48smaller packages is better?
02:49Like, especially chocolate bars.
02:51Like, mini Snickers are so much better than if you were to buy a Snickers bar.
02:54All right, dude.
02:57That's, if you're not familiar, that's Tobin's dismissal.
03:01Like, he's just.
03:02That's a silly opinion.
03:03It's not a silly opinion.
03:05I do.
03:06I do understand what you're saying.
03:09Right?
03:11Because I take my little Snickers and my little Twix and put them in the freezer, and I just
03:17grab a handful of them.
03:19And it is nice to, you know, go that route.
03:23I don't think there's nothing wrong with her statement.
03:25Exactly.
03:26And there's people agreeing with me in the chat as well that are saying that I'm correct.
03:29Like, it does change the ratio of chocolate to filling, and it's just, like, the perfect
03:34amount.
03:35I'm telling you, I would not eat a full-size Snickers, but the mini Snickers that they give
03:40out are delightful, and I will have, like, a bunch of them.
03:42Are you talking about, like, the ones that are, like, this big?
03:44Like that?
03:44Like that?
03:45No, like the fun-size ones.
03:46Like the medium.
03:48It's not that fun.
03:49It is a fun size.
03:50I like it.
03:51It's like, okay, for example, Jennifer, help me out here.
03:53It's like, when you buy samples of makeup, the sample is always better.
03:56That's what I keep thinking about, yeah.
03:57The full-size, it's always better than the full-size, because what it does is it tricks
04:02you into, like, they make it, they formulate it better, the samples, they formulate it better
04:07so that the consumer, when they try the sample, they're like, oh, my God, this is so good.
04:10I'm going to go buy the full-size, and when they buy the full-size, the formula's a little
04:14different.
04:14It's not as good, because they're putting less money into making the smaller packages,
04:19but they put a better product.
04:21It's the same basic concept.
04:23Chocolate, nuts, caramel.
04:25I just said that.
04:27Wow.
04:29No, I'm saying...
04:30My reasoning is very sound.
04:32Your reasoning is sound.
04:32It doesn't make you right.
04:33It does make you right.
04:34No, it doesn't.
04:35That's your opinion.
04:37It's a bad opinion.
04:39We don't need an arbiter in this, Jennifer.
04:42Excuse me.
04:43Listen.
04:44I'm for the people.
04:46Really?
04:47Okay.
04:49I'm telling you.
04:50It's a crazy opinion.
04:51It's not a crazy opinion.
04:53Having a tiny Snickers.
04:53Not only do I like regular-sized Twix, I like jumbo Twix.
04:58Oh, yeah.
04:59That's better.
05:00You ever have a jumbo Sour Patch Kid?
05:01That's way better than a regular Sour Patch Kid.
05:03No, that's disgusting.
05:04No, it's less.
05:05What is disgusting?
05:05I would want more.
05:07I would like the little bite-sized ones.
05:09And it's so satisfying.
05:10But you know it's the same if you hose through 30 of them.
05:14Yeah.
05:15I'm aware.
05:17I didn't say that it's not the same.
05:20I mean, when I was a kid, you used to put your hand into open candy and just grab a
05:24handful.
05:25Like, we didn't have, like, you know.
05:28There was no couth.
05:30The mini Sour Patch, yeah.
05:31Mini Sour Patch packets are worthless.
05:34It's like, oh, thank you.
05:34No, I like those.
05:35Nah, what do I want?
05:37I like those.
05:37The little Sour Patch packets?
05:39Oh, that's awesome.
05:40I'll tell you what can kick rocks.
05:43Twizzlers.
05:44Oh, I love Twizzlers.
05:46Of course you would.
05:47I don't like Twizzlers.
05:48I'm so sorry.
05:49All because I have a hot take.
05:53All because I have a hot take now.
05:54That's a silly hot take.
05:55Less candy is better than more candy?
05:57What kind of take is that?
05:58No, you eat the same.
05:59Yes, it is.
06:00You eat the same amount.
06:01Here, you're not getting less.
06:03You're eating the same amount.
06:04You're just opening up more packets.
06:05She is sitting here claiming that a full-size Snickers bar in its element is not as good
06:13as a fun-size Snickers taste for taste.
06:15It's not a taste for taste.
06:16They're raised on the first part.
06:18Taste for taste.
06:18No, we need to put this to the test.
06:20I am going to bring a little mini Snickers next week, and I'm going to bring a full-size
06:25Snickers.
06:25I'm going to cut it up, and you're going to blindfold yourself, and you're going to eat
06:27it.
06:28You can't cut it up.
06:29It's either because I'm going to need to, oh, this is the mini one.
06:32Not as good as the regular size one.
06:33No, because I can't have you.
06:34No, I'm going to cut it.
06:36I'm going to cut them in the same size.
06:37You're going to get bite sizes that are the same size, and you're going to see which
06:41Have you never conducted an experiment before?
06:43But you're changing the experiment because you're now bite-sizing a full-size Snickers.
06:48Yes, I have to because if you pick it up, what, do you want us to feed it to you?
06:52No, I don't want to be fed.
06:53I'm just telling you it's a ridiculous thing to say.
06:55You're changing the element because now you're saying something that was created to be a mini
06:59size.
06:59It's called a control.
07:00No, it's not a control.
07:02I don't think you know a science.
07:02I don't think you know science.
07:04I do.
07:04I don't think you know.
07:05I don't think I do.
07:06How could it be a science, Toby?
07:09You're changing the variable of the original thing.
07:11No, I am not.
07:12I am not.
07:13She is saying the chocolate to nut to caramel amount is better in a small one.
07:22Take it 20 seconds.
07:23You know what she's saying.
07:25Yeah, I do.
07:26Wow.
07:28Hey, why am I getting hit by shrapnel?
07:31She wants to taint the jury pool.
07:33No, she doesn't.
07:34I wish I left that lizard in your bag.
07:36The ratio of chocolate, nuts, and caramel is better in a small size.
07:42This is what you're going to say to me?
07:44You've got to be nice to him because he will go outside and look for that lizard.
07:47No, the thing is, I don't think he went all the way downstairs.
07:49You're the one that's being mean.
07:51I'm not being mean.
07:52You have ridiculous opinions.
07:54This is so silly.
07:55That's why it's called an opinion.
07:57Wrong one.
07:58No.
07:59Because it's not yours.
08:01You don't have plenty of hot takes, sir.
08:03You're like the king of hot takes.
08:05You say the most ridiculous things.
08:06My reasoning is sound.
08:07Oh, please.
08:09Oh, big fella wants the big candy.
08:13No, but I don't want to be tricked with slicing the big candy into little candy.
08:18It's not tricked.
08:19You have to have a variable.
08:22What test can you do, Tobin, for you to get the ratio of...
08:28You just got taste for taste.
08:29I don't need to do a blind leak.
08:30What, you don't trust that I would be honest?
08:32Of course I don't trust you.
08:34Absolutely not.
08:36If you wanted to be...
08:38You would do everything in spite of her opinion.
08:42Right.
08:42Like, if you took a bite out of a whole candy bar and then ate a small one, you're immediately
08:48going to say the bigger one's better.
08:49It would be like if you said to me, hey, I like pizza bagels more than pizza.
08:55I'd be like, that's stupid.
08:56And then you say, well, taste test it.
08:58I'll give a pizza bagel so I have a whole pizza bagel or a corner of a pizza.
09:02Okay, no.
09:02Tobin, that's not the same thing.
09:04It's the same.
09:05It's the same candy bar.
09:06It's made by the same company.
09:08It's not the same thing.
09:10It's the same.
09:10No, it is not.
09:12You're manipulative.
09:13You're manipulative.
09:14You're manipulative.
09:15You're manipulative.
09:16You're manipulative.
09:17Ma Tobin.
09:18So, do you understand why sometimes I cuss?
09:21This is why.
09:23Why?
09:24This is why.
09:24Why?
09:24It's unreasonable.
09:25You're just finagling.
09:26How am I finagling?
09:28You're finagling.
09:29How?
09:30You're trying to sway it in your way.
09:32No, in order for you to under, you cannot go in with your already preconceived notion of what you think
09:39about the candies.
09:40You have to have a blind taste test.
09:42And in order to do that, I need to make the sides of the candy the same in order for
09:45you to taste it.
09:46So, you can't feel, okay, this is a large Snickers and then this is the fun-sized Snickers.
09:50But here's the thing.
09:51It's like, okay, Tobin, blindfolded, you have to get in a fight with a little person or Floyd Mayweather with
09:55two hands tied behind his back.
09:56It's not fair to Floyd Mayweather.
09:59You don't know.
10:00This is science.
10:01This is literally how, like, this is literally.
10:04Your analogy.
10:04Tobin, your analogy.
10:06Why literally is how science works.
10:08I think I do know science.
10:09I don't think you do.
10:10I think I do.
10:11I don't think you do.
10:11I don't think you do.
