Will Ruel Get Dazed & Confused By This Bucket Hat Test? | Expensive Taste Test | Cosmopolitan - video Dailymotion

Cosmopolitan USA

Ruel wrote a song about hating Japanese whiskey—so obviously, we had to make him try some in this episode of “Expensive Taste Test.” Watch as the Australian singer-songwriter tries to figure out what's pricey and what's not as he spins bucket hats, smells mugs, and stresses over picking the right necklace so as not to disappoint his jewelry designer girlfriend. From rattling sunglasses to sampling proper American jerky he can’t stop snacking on (hey, he didn’t have breakfast!), it's clear that Ruel is anything but dazed & confused.

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.
