00:00I wrote a song called Japanese Whiskey.
00:01The whole concept is about how I don't like it.
00:10Hey, I'm Ruhl and this is Expensive Taste Test with Cosmo.
00:15I've got expensive taste in like all the wrong things.
00:17Like the stuff that doesn't matter,
00:19I want the nicest stuff.
00:20I'm curious to see what we've got here.
00:21All right, we've got some proper American jerky.
00:30This is like nice and marbled.
00:34Do you guys have knobs?
00:35Sorry, hold on, knobs jerky.
00:36This is giving knobs, mm, oh wow, okay.
00:41It tastes great.
00:42I mean jerky when I think of jerky is like chewy
00:45and it's hard work and it's like a workout in the mouth
00:47like a man, you know, it's man food.
00:49But this is quite dainty and I like it.
00:51Easy, goes down, not too chewy, flavor's there.
00:55Let's try the thicker of the bunch.
00:59Okay, not as chewy as well.
01:01This is like a bit of a teriyaki sort of bee sort of thing.
01:04Yeah, this is a thick piece.
01:05I'm just gonna keep, I actually haven't eaten breakfast yet
01:07so this might take a while.
01:09I'm going expensive, cheap.
01:15Wait.
01:21For me, expensive glasses, it's a big waste of money for me.
01:26I only wear like either five, ten dollar glasses.
01:29So I couldn't really tell the difference.
01:31I just think of weight a lot of the time.
01:34But these are the exact same.
01:36God, this is hard.
01:37All right, I'm gonna try them on first.
01:39And then if you can just flip a monitor around,
01:41I wanna see what they look like.
01:42And whatever looks better, I'm just gonna go with that.
01:44All right.
01:45Yeah, these look like kind of mid.
01:49I don't really like this shape on me,
01:52but maybe this, this is the left.
01:55Okay.
01:58Let me just have a little inspection here.
02:01Yeah, that's all nice, working well.
02:06Yeah.
02:07Yeah.
02:08Ooh, okay.
02:10I hear a rattle.
02:12I don't like rattles.
02:13Less of a rattle.
02:15This is the expensive one.
02:17This is the cheap.
02:21Come on.
02:22Oh, wow.
02:23It's the rattle.
02:23The rattle did it for me.
02:30Okay, so we've got some little bags.
02:33I like this material.
02:35Could be throwing me off.
02:36The green on the back, like that kind of shaded green,
02:39is a little strange.
02:41I don't know if like a nice company would do that,
02:43but I'm evaluating like $70 for this.
02:47See, this could be that like Swedish brand,
02:49or something like Folkhavenraven thing.
02:51This is a good size bag.
02:52You can't fit your laptop in there, I suppose.
02:54Ooh, okay.
02:55I see some metal buckle here.
02:56So that's nice.
02:57That's, it's luxury.
02:59I am gonna go expensive.
03:01I just wanted to go out on a whim.
03:02I'm taking a risk,
03:03because I feel like this is a show where we take risks.
03:06No!
03:07Fuck!
03:08So we got some Japanese whisky here.
03:10I wrote a song called Japanese Whisky.
03:12That's on my last album.
03:13And the whole concept is about how I don't like it.
03:16That's how much I don't like it.
03:18I wrote a whole song about it.
03:19I think I just gotta rip in, right?
03:20We've got some kind of lighter colored Japanese whisky.
03:22Oh, god.
03:36Oh, god.
03:38Oh, god.
03:43I think they're both gonna taste exactly the same to me.
03:45I just, this is, this is a lost cause.
03:50Okay.
03:52Smells nicer, I will say.
03:58Fuck.
04:01Okay, the color, this is lighter, this is darker.
04:04The smell, it's like a slightly sweeter, like softer smell.
04:10This is like a bit more like jet fuel.
04:13More expensive, less expensive.
04:17Yeah, makes sense, not surprised at all.
04:19Got that one right.
04:27We have some ties in front of me.
04:29All right, I'm gonna give this one the tie test.
04:33This feels good.
04:34It's just got a little bit more like embroidery going on.
04:38Let's see the length.
04:40Okay, I'm not great at tying ties.
04:41This is like how I guess a 13 year old would tie a tie
04:44if they had to go for some sort of formal or prom
04:47or anything.
04:49Yeah, it looks cool.
04:50Sick.
04:50All right, next one.
04:53I'm liking this one though.
04:54It just, in terms of material, it feels nicer.
04:57This feels cheap.
04:58All right, I don't like it.
04:59But maybe it's like silk or something.
05:01Cause it's like, it's very light.
05:03Could be more expensive, who knows?
05:05I like this.
05:06Like, I feel like I tied this well.
05:08Like, maybe I could rock this for the rest of the day.
05:11But I'm still feeling the other one is more expensive.
05:13All right, I'm gonna go expensive.
05:16Cheap.
05:17Oh, come on.
05:21This one's way nicer to hold.
05:23Smell.
05:23I should have smelled.
05:25Smells like ass.
05:26All right, so we've got a couple of silver chains.
05:36My girlfriend is a jewelry designer and I've felt good quality and I've also felt some back
05:41quality.
05:42I feel like I should know this.
05:43Okay, oh wow, these are really similar.
05:46Fuck.
05:47Okay, I've got it.
05:48I can see the link.
05:49It's a lot nicer.
05:50There's a bit more going on around the edge.
05:53It's slightly heavier, but I'm feeling good about this.
05:57And I'm not feeling good about this.
05:59No.
06:00I don't know.
06:01I'm really just looking at the link here.
06:02It just looks a little off kilter.
06:04There's a bit more like sturdiness going over here.
06:08That's what I'm basing it off, even though that's the dumbest part because it's clearly
06:12all about the quality of the silver, but yeah, I'm still sticking with my guns on the right
06:17here.
06:18I'm feeling good about this.
06:19Expensive.
06:23There we go.
06:24Liftified another day.
06:32I've got some bucket hats.
06:33It's been a while, old friend.
06:34I used to do that.
06:35Come on, I want to get like a good spin.
06:37Yeah, it's pretty fun.
06:39I've got a lot of experience with bucket hats, I don't know if you can tell.
06:41These have kind of, you know, slightly nice patterns, I suppose.
06:45Okay.
06:46This has got some kind of like nylon inside, possibly reversible.
06:49There's a tag, so that's not true.
06:52I'm liking the feeling of this one.
06:54If we're talking about price, I'm not wearing either, but this feels terrible.
06:59Oh, come on.
07:00I'm pretty confident this is expensive.
07:02This is cheap.
07:03Oh no, it's a bit too slippery.
07:08Nah, I can't do it.
07:09I can't have fun for things that are expensive, but when things are disposable and cheap and
07:13ugly, it's more fun.
07:15All right, so we've just got some mugs.
07:23I mean, mugs can be mugs, man.
07:25Mugs can be mugs.
07:26That's the caption of this video.
07:27I really feel like this could be $3.
07:29This could be $900.
07:31It could be vice versa all over the shop.
07:34Let's do some random tests.
07:36Oh, okay.
07:37So this, I'm thinking about where you source the mugs.
07:39This could have been from the office that we're in right now.
07:42You could have just pulled this out of a cupboard.
07:44So, I'm just going to think what smells like coffee and that would be the cheap one.
07:48It smells like there was some liquid in here before.
07:51So I'm going to go cheap.
07:54Expensive.
07:58Okay.
07:59I got five out of eight, so that's a pass in my book.
08:02I feel like if you get eight out of eight, you got a problem.
08:04And if you get zero out of eight, it's also another problem, but it's on the other spectrum.
08:07I'd rather get zero out of eight than eight out of eight.
08:09Thanks guys for watching.
08:10You can check out my new album, Kicking My Feet, whenever you'd like.
