Thoughts on the dot cake trend. Sweeping the nation.

**Max Shapiro** (1:05)
What is a dot cake?

**Jordan Okun** (1:08)
He does not know. Is this not, you've not come across this on your Instagram?

**Max Shapiro** (1:13)
A dot cake?

**Jordan Okun** (1:14)
Your Instagram must be so much different than my Instagram.

**Max Shapiro** (1:18)
My Instagram.

**Jordan Okun** (1:18)
The search page at least, because I come across this all the time in the last week or so.

**Max Shapiro** (1:23)
My search page is miniature schnauzers and like relationship stuff, like being with someone that has like ADHD and shit like that.

**Jordan Okun** (1:34)
No food?

**Max Shapiro** (1:36)
Not that much food. No. Weirdly.

**Jordan Okun** (1:40)
This is one of the dumbest trends that people have been waiting in heavy lines for in maybe the history of bad food trends. Here's what a dot cake is.

**Max Shapiro** (1:55)
Okay.

**Jordan Okun** (1:56)
And no joke, there are people in New York waiting hours for this.

**Max Shapiro** (2:01)
I can't wait to hear how horrible this is.

**Jordan Okun** (2:06)
Here's what it is.

**Max Shapiro** (2:06)
Yeah.

**Jordan Okun** (2:08)
In a small bowl or like ramekin, right? Because this is kind of a mini thing.

**Max Shapiro** (2:14)
Okay.

**Jordan Okun** (2:15)
It is a layer of cake, a layer of frosting.

**Max Shapiro** (2:21)
Okay.

**Jordan Okun** (2:22)
Another layer of cake.

**Max Shapiro** (2:24)
Okay.

**Jordan Okun** (2:25)
Another layer of frosting.

**Max Shapiro** (2:27)
Okay.

**Jordan Okun** (2:28)
That is then spread thin on top to the top of the bowl that it's in or the ramekin that it's in or the glass that it's in.

**Max Shapiro** (2:39)
Jar? Is this cake in a jar?

**Jordan Okun** (2:41)
Okay. And then the top is covered in a shitload of little multicolored sprinkles, like the crunchy ones, the round ones.
That's it.

**Max Shapiro** (2:53)
Okay. So this sounds like cake in a jar topped with sprinkles.

**Jordan Okun** (2:58)
Cake in a jar topped with hard dot multicolored sprinkles known as dots, I guess. That's it.

**Max Shapiro** (3:13)
Wow.

**Jordan Okun** (3:14)
And it's sweeping the nation. They'll be in LA soon. So, Max, any thoughts?

**Max Shapiro** (3:23)
My thoughts are it's cake in a jar, and I'm okay with cake in a jar. I wouldn't wait one second for this.

**Jordan Okun** (3:33)
The creativity is inspiring.

**Max Shapiro** (3:36)
Yeah.

**Jordan Okun** (3:38)
This could only trend 10 years into Trump's sweaty grip on America. Now, with all that said, would eat the shit out of it.

**Max Shapiro** (3:48)
Yeah, no, of course. I'm okay with cake in a jar. I'm okay with portable cake.

**Jordan Okun** (3:53)
I'm a big frosting guy. I'm a big, like, moist, frosting heavy, and then a little bit of crunch on that top. This is right up my alley. Yeah, but as a trend that people are waiting in lines for.
You out of your fucking mind?

**Max Shapiro** (4:11)
This is nuts.

**Jordan Okun** (4:13)
How brain dead do these people need to be?

**Max Shapiro** (4:16)
Well, everyone that's... Have you seen the lines of community goods? I mean, good for them, but holy shit. Yeah, brain dead.

**Jordan Okun** (4:24)
That egg and avocado slider, is that good?

**Max Shapiro** (4:28)
Well, I'll never know. I'll never know.

**Jordan Okun** (4:30)
We will never know.

**Max Shapiro** (4:31)
No.

**Jordan Okun** (4:35)
Well, that's our thoughts on the dot cake.

**Max Shapiro** (4:39)
Wow.

**Jordan Okun** (4:39)
Brain is about as big as those dots. Next.
