Sometimes it's not even a fast food restaurant. I'm your host Michael Jones alongside my coach. Jordan swears. Jordan, how are you? Anomalous.

Are you sure? Are you sure? Because Nick's going to be screaming at you. Let's turn back just to be saying. Nick will be screeching. I didn't say anything. He never screamed. No, I'm saying now. Yeah, well, now he's going to let it.

I'm free now. He's going to let it lose. He's free. He's free. Hey, remember what he said. He won't get stuck in there with us. You'll get stuck in there with me. Yeah, that's what I said. I'll say. That's how that conversation went.

Sorry, I couldn't be trapped in there with you guys. Yeah, that's what it feels like. Yep. You did a bit of a doozy today. Yep. I'm just going to let you know right up front. Yeah. Okay.

Now, you decide whether it's real or not. Or whether you should keep watching or you turn around. Yep. You start the video over. over again. Okay. An anomaly. Today we're reviewing Yalamot Draft House.

Updated. It's true. You call updated. I would call it downgraded. It's also the, how long? So I've been going to the draft house since like,

I guess 2011 was the first time I went. This is about like the fifth different menu that they've had, you know? So no stranger to them like changing things. Yeah. It must be different though.

Yeah. Different menu changes were never, we're going to nickel and dime and cut costs. It was just actually changing the food. Very clear that it was a cost cutting measure with this one, for sure. Watching it happen in real time is really a shame. Yeah. It's a real, right? It's a real shame.

It's a real shame. And like you say 2011 too, I feel like, wow, that's a long time. I've been here long enough to be like, it's like a thing I really liked as an adult that I got to watch get ruined. And I'm still going. It's not, you know what I mean? It's not like, oh, I remember back in the day. Maybe not for much longer. No, it's not going to be for much longer.

But that's what I'm saying. I'm with you. That's why it sucks. I'm like, oh, man. What's crazy, too, is that Alamo Draft House has been through a lot, not just through these menu changes, but like it's changed ownership a few times. And every other time it was like, they're changing stuff up. It's not great, but it's not like going against the ethos of what Alamo Draft House is.

And the ethos, I feel by and large, beyond the, like, hey, put your phones away thing, is that we are a place where you're going to, hey, come get a cold beer and a pretzel or some kind of food. It was always like a novel thing where it's like, watch a movie and get food. And you get food. And the food's actually pretty good. And it's not, and it's not the expensive movie theater popcorn. It's like, you can get a cheeseburger. Yeah.

And now it's sort of, like even from its beginning when I was reading about it, like putting this stuff together, it started as a second run movie theater which was I love second run movie theaters it's where you can see a lot of movies for like a dollar or two dollars because they're done you know it comes out the movie comes out in December and it'll run through the end of February and then second run movie theaters will get the print and then they'll just show it until the prints done

that's how I saw the first Matrix movie was at a second run movie theater and I so have like a real fondness for it and it's started like that as a place to do, hey, these are cheap movies. But also, we got like dollar beer. And you guys, you know, come and hang out, eat some food and watch, like, the second run movie or whatever. And this is so, we've gone so far past that.

And it became a legit, like, not just like theater within Austin. It became a legit chain. Yeah. Yeah. Had theaters all over the country. Yeah. And then private equity came in and had to close some of them.

The pandemic really fucked. The pandemic was really, A lot of that. Like, being in Austin is always safe with draft house. Yeah. It's crazy that it's still open. Yeah. It definitely is.

Like, there would always be at least, like, no matter what, I feel like there will always be one in Austin. Yeah. And so, like, living here, we're like, we're always safe about the other stuff. Like, even in others, like, Dallas and Houston went, well, just before Sony bought them, they were closing them down in other cities in Texas. Yep. And then Sony came in, they're like, no, no, no.

Reverse that. And then they were like, reverse that reversal. Yeah. Is this. An anomaly anomaly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And don't worry, Austin. You're safe. But we're gonna fuck you up. Yeah. Yeah.

Fuck you. Oh, you're gonna hate coming here. Hey, you. On your, are you using your phone? Great job. Yeah. Dude.

Order something else. I feel like I couldn't, I couldn't contain myself where it was like, they were doing the thing where it's like, shut up now. It's the movie. It's the worst. And then it's like,

put your phone away, unless you're ordering food. And it says that. And then on the screen, it probably had, We probably saw it three or four times through like the preview stuff and like the the pre-roll stuff. And then right before like the movie started, it had like, hey, here's how you, here's how you Alamo. Yeah.

Order on your phone. Dude. And even the announcer now is some just like TV schmuck. Yeah. It's not Hannah anymore. It's not Hannah. That's true. Yeah. But it was always like it was like it's guy.

Yeah. Whatever. And now it's like it sounds like a guy from an insurance commercial. Yes, it does. Yeah. It's not a famous one. It's like Sony's guy. Yeah.

It is. It's boring and shitty. It's just like, oh. Just like the quality of just the guy talking sucks now. But then they're like, if there's a loud table, use the QR code to report someone using their phone. And then they put a PS on the end. And that's where I lost it. Me too.

I was upset. Jordan like booed out loud. Yeah. It was them going, P.S. We do recognize the irony of using your phone to report someone using their phone. Yeah. Then why are you doing it? Jordan like booed and then like it was him.

I were going like, why even put them? Like you've gone to this point where like you're putting the. this on the fucking screen. Right. You're telling people it's not a stupid you are. It's not a thing where it's like,

we're in on it too. Like jokes on us. Right. There is no us anymore. It's like they're dead. Yeah. The jokes. Yeah.

You are the joke. It's not even like, Alamo's like, hey, we're not happy about it either. You know, we're dealing. It's kind of like how many people, I certainly was myself,

at rooster teeth with Warner. Right? Being like, hey man, I just work here. Yep. You know what I mean? It's not that because like,

it's just Sony now. Right. It's like the I just work here, guy isn't there anymore. Yeah. It's true. Well, because it probably was one of the, the, the wait staff who would come and take your order before. Yeah. And now, conveniently, for Sony, you don't need that guy anymore.

So now there's- You don't need a guy working the front. You got maybe three people working at the whole theater. So we'll get into all this stuff or whatever. But the thing I want to talk about is Michael's adventure within the Alamo right away. That's why I missed the mummy trailer. You did miss the mummy trailer. Mike, Michael ordered.

He's like, we should. should order all on one phone. So that way he's like he has already a problem. The level where you get like a discount. Yeah. But there's also a problem where like if you want to be on the same tab, you have to order on the same phone. Well, you can.

You can. As I did it, I realized you can when you're like making the order, you can like pick other seats you want to put under your little umbrella. I just wasn't. That's what that means. I wasn't going to risk it. I didn't know what that was going on. Yeah. So like we have gotten the discount as the question.

Oh, well, I didn't get it anyway. Because it wasn't working. So the way that it works is you, you know, it takes you, you scan a fucking QR code. And of course, it doesn't even open the Alamo app. It's nothing to do with the app.

It takes you to the website. And then if you're logged into your account on the website, you can apply any, like, coupons you have. And you're 10% off the accounts as a coupon. So I just hit Apply. And it's like 30 seconds of loading and just error. Must try it 15 times.

Great. Right. And I'm just like, I'm sure I can retroactive, like retroactively do this, but I rather not. Yeah. Because it's here.

Because all. Because all of us went and we're trying to No shit, right? And we're getting so much food. There was like 130 bucks. It was expensive. And it was just like, I mean, shit, this is why I have the fucking thing. That's just not our money.

That's your money. Yeah, exactly. And I'm going to get 10% off. Pointing at you. So, monkey money. We got there real early. We figured all the food. I put it all in.

I was like, fuck it. I ordered it. But then I was like, then I'll just go out front. I had to go to the bathroom anyway. So before the movie starts, I go out. go to the bathroom I go up front he's just

fucking nobody's there and Michael's god yeah nobody's nobody's there and I'm just like I waited a minute there's a button

there's a button so I didn't see like a fool I didn't notice the button I didn't think this was a fucking hotel uh huh so I waited for like a minute

you didn't think it was a hotel and it's got the carpet that's very telling it really is the overlook hotel it's a whole thing it's abandoned um there's more There's more fucking ghost people there

Okay So I waited like a minute and I was like Fuck it I'm gonna go outside and bait more then And I'll just and I'll just stare And wait well then I was like because the first thing was That's the other shitty thing without having an order on the phone A lot of times it's like your coverage isn't as good Yeah, theater.

So now they push like get on our way to the Wi-Fi Everyone's on the Wi-Fi And also give us your data Yeah on the Wi-Fi. So I started on the Wi-Fi and it kept erroring I was like maybe it's the Wi-Fi. I took it off the Wi-Fi. Still didn't work.

All right, now I'm gonna go talk to somebody. Nobody's there. I was like, all right, I might as well fucking try it outside. My reception's glorious. Still not working. And every time I hit up Y, it's no joke, 30 seconds.

It's a long time. It's a long time. He was just showing me hitting it going, yeah, and it's not me like spamming. You just hit it and it's just like forever loaded. It's thinking real hard. Yeah. And so the whole time I sat up there,

I'm looking, I'm like, how the fuck is nobody fucking in there? And then I saw it was like, what is that? What is that? thing. I go back inside. I'm like, are you fucking shitty me? And there's a button that's just like, need help? Push this button and maybe somebody will show up. Maybe.

And I'm like, what the fuck? From the time that I pushed the button, took a picture of the of like, oh yeah, the area, the empty ghost-like area. Then took a picture of the button. Texted it to you guys. It took a while to send because I was back in the building and no one showed up that entire time. Then

finally a guy showed up. Also, this is the flag. ship Alamo Drive. I know. This is the South Lamar one. This is the one. This is their new fucking Sony shit. Yep. So I just explained to him like, hey, I'm doing the thing like, let me lay it out for you. So you know, I know what I'm talking about. Right? Because I'm sure

many people are like, the thing is working. Yeah. He's like, did you push the button? Like, what button? So I was like, hey, I was like, I'm in the movie right now. I ordered all this food. Here's the receipt. Right? Because it's like you still close the check at the end. Yes. So it's still open. So I was like, it's open right now.

Like, I'm, you know, the trailers are on. Hopefully they're still on. They were over by the time I walked back in. And I was like, yeah, I'm not getting my, my like 10% discount. He's like, first day he, he, like, I'll let him do it. I'm like, I'll let him do it's fine. He's doing his job. It's like, you have to let them do their first.

You have to. Hey, I know I did it right, but most people probably don't do it right. And he's like, go to me. I'm like, okay, go to here. And then the thing was there. I'm like, I see, he's like, and I click it. It's loading. It's loading.

After like 10 seconds, he goes, well, we do recommend you get on the Wi-Fi. And I go, yeah, I was on the Wi-Fi. I actually got off the Wi-Fi to see if it would work. And he's like, oh, okay. So I nip that in the bud. Okay, good. And then we're waiting and waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting. Which only worked in my favor.

Yeah. At this point, it erred. He went, huh. He's like, I'll get the manager. It wasn't like, I'll get the manager and wait here. He was like, I'll talk to the manager. sure we can do it in the back end if like well I'll come tell you like in your seat okay that we got it okay I'm like okay cool then I went back outside and vapemore because I was

pissed off so then I came back in yeah I came back in I get ready for a nap I came back in our theater was all it was the last theater all the way down at the end so so by the time I buy the kitchen within that time of walking back in right as I got the door he came out of the kitchen he was like okay nice I and then so then I checked I got back to see because I'm allowed to use my phone in the band and as much as you want. It was for ordering.

That's right. It was for ordering. I was like, oh, it's actually there. Like it was like he took care of it. And I was just like, wow. Kind of a huge waste of time. But also like that took so much effort because it's like the thing didn't work.

I can't push a button have someone come to the table and just say, hey, I went out front, no one's there. I got a push a button. I was like, fucking Sony. God damn you. Michael sent a picture,

just texted a picture of this empty lobby. He just said nobody fucking works here. Thanks, Sony. There was nothing wrong with the way that they did before. Like, dude, that's the least amount of employees I've ever seen. Yes. Usually they're like up and down the hallway, the walk around. It was ghost house. And I know it was like

Wednesday morning, Wednesday afternoon. So it's not going to be packed. Yeah, but it's not a bunch. There were a bunch of movies happening. Right. But it's not going to be back with customers, but there's got to be packed with employees because they got to make sure they got to wake up to sleep and people. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. They have to do it then.

Exactly. Sony that's why Sony pay me yeah there has to be a guy who brings you your water walks right by me doesn't give me a water gives a water to join a water to Nick and a water I don't know what wasn't there empty table next to Nick

I was like and then Nick went and then I just went just hand it to me just hand it to me he fucked up he blew by me crazy well when I was out there I said skip the first guy motherfucker oh there you

they tried to skip you then too though Like their argument for like doing away with like the waiter. Yeah. At the beginning what was like, well then they got to drop your check. And it's at, it's always at the best part of the movie. And they're in the way.

No. No, it isn't. It's never. I mean, it's sometimes kind of annoying. I've never missed anything before. Very, very, very rarely. Yeah. Also, when I'm going to see cinema,

probably not going to Alamo draft house where I'm getting a cheeseburger. So they can come and go, 15 minutes left. Thumbs up. Thumbs up. Like, but even that is like, it takes that long. It's so.

It's not a big deal. It's unintrusive. And I do think right now, because of the way that Alamo is being run, I think there's a big backlash online of people who are like, these places where people don't even like, they don't watch the movie. They just want to eat like their food and whatever. And I just, and then I watch. That's not why I go to.

And then I watched exit eight and I went, I mean, this was the movie to watch to like watch and eat food at. I wish I had more. Yeah. This was really. It was. You wish you had more? More food?

You got so much. More food or more of that movie? I finished before his first existential crisis. There was more food. Yeah, you go ordered more food. Yeah, there was all kinds of pretzel laying around. He wanted more. Oh.

As usual, he didn't say anything. More of other things. He just kept doing this. Right. Turn around! You could have texted me, Nick. You're allowed to take your phone out when you're talking about food. Yeah, you're ordering all you want in there now.

Yeah, you're texting Michael. I guess I'm saying, I'm going to come in talking to phone. I'm like, hey, I'm seeing this movie. if someone says, hey, I'll be like, oh, I'm ordering food. I'm ordering. This is actually food that I want. Did you see the fucking, the pre-roll? Ironic, right?

Ha-ha. So it's a mess. It kind of sucks ass. This is the newness. But we haven't even talked about good the food is. From the time I last saw a movie, which was Project Hell Mary, almost exactly a month ago. They still had waitstaff there. And you did it by paper, right?

Out South Mar. and there is the paper sat down, look for a menu. Yep. Nothing. No paper. Dude, even better? There's a fake menu.

Where you reach on it and pull it out? It's menu, it's not. It's like, hey, bitch. Yeah. Scan the thing on the table. And I was like, oh, dude, that's fucking crazy. That was fucked. Like, they made these.

Yep. Also, I don't like the way their menu set up. No. No. It's all. It's all left, right. It's so easy to write on a fucking piece of paper. Chips and cakes.

so. No cilantro. Yep. It's so easy. It's such a hassle to be like scrolling and you're scrolling and like the system

where like they come you can take your order there, you can scan your card so that way you don't have to worry about it. Everything is going on your tab now I have to type it all in.

Ugh. It uh, it fucking stinks. It's such a first world problem. It is. But it's because allow us this indulgence. It's because they ruined it.

It's because they had it figured out. They had it. They had it figured out and it was fine. And at no point was I ever complaining about the way that this thing was happening because I knew that it was so, they had like such a tenuous grasp on it that you knew that at any moment like the whole house of cards could tumble. And we are witnessing all of the cards coming down at once. It's like if you've ever, if you've ever been to an Alamo, and unless you said the crown jewel of like Alamo's in Austin, right? Like talk, if you've heard people talk for the last decade or more about how like good it is, because it was good.

Yeah, right? Like there's a reason. Yeah. And now all those reasons are gone and going away. I mean, I would like, like the best experience is to go there and not order anything. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, but then you can just go to any theater. Like I would specifically go to Alamo because it's like they had good food. It was like a chill vibe. It felt like the people there were like, hey man, we like movies too.

Yeah. We like good food. I appreciated their like very strict policies. Oh yeah. Yeah. That was their thing. Yeah. Like,

and it. The one where they're like, Hey, fuck you if you talk. I'll kill you. Right. And it's like, the monkey will kill you. Do not hesitate to just push a button and we'll take care of it.

Yeah. And they'll actually do it. Yeah. They'll do it. They'll give you a warning and then be like, second time, you're going to get thrown out. Yep. That's awesome. The threat, the looming threat, it just keeps people in line.

Yeah. And I feel like it's just another thing people are going to start slipping. They're going to. Because trust me. It's a slippery slope. I never, like, I never felt like I was jaded by, I don't know going like, because going there and mostly only there for so long, I never fooled myself into thinking like,

movie culture's changed. The second I go to other theater sometimes, like with my kids, it's a goddamn manhouse. Nothing is changed. Nothing has changed. People are talking, yelling, kids are running a fucking muck

and no one's stopping them. Their parents just let them do whatever. That's still present to this day. Doesn't happen to Alamo. It's not even like, oh, it doesn't happen in Alamo because people complain and throw you out. No, they don't do it because they don't want to get thrown out.

Right. The threat, is so effective. And now the threat's like, you can use your phone a little bit. Right. You can use your phone a little bit as a tree. But if somebody's using their phone, use your phone. Yeah. That'll show them. Fucking get them. And then if you see someone using their phone and report someone, report that person.

And then they'll see you using your phone to report that person who's talking. It was also. And they'll report you for using your phone for reporting that person for using their phone. Not having the piece of paper. I can't like go with a friend of mine and then like, right, and then show them that I'm reporting them and put it up. up. Like, I can't do that anymore. I write like, this bitch next to me won't shut up.

And then I would like show it like, what I'm doing, you know? Like, I'll do that every time I go and off window. No. Yeah, yeah. Michael. That's pretty good. The thing that is going to be hardest for me if I cancel my season pass is that I really like, not even new movies that are coming out, but they're curated stuff.

Yeah. They're going to show the master again. Yeah. They're showing, uh, the Big Lobowski. I kind of want to see you. We should go see you. I think that's next month. Yeah, it is.

I'll just see Big Lobowski with you. It's like, fuck, man, that's so cool. I love, like I saw Boogie Nights in theater. You know, it's how I didn't get to see it in 1987. I've seen so many, I've seen so many movies in Aalma like that. I've seen, like, first and second Indiana Jones. Yeah, it's movies you wouldn't see otherwise, you know. Stuff that you, like, it's not like, it's a wide release.

They're just doing like, here's a Sunday showing of this thing. We're just doing it. We are celebrating his alamo, not the movie. Yes. Right. It's not like the movie's making a big deal. It's the 30 there. Alamo was just like, hey, this cool movie came out.

Saw the thing, saw thing in Alamo? Yeah, that's a good. Oh, seeing the thing in theater. I just don't, like, even Exit 8. That's the movie I would not have seen otherwise. I just don't know that that's a movie that would make it to an AMC or a regal or whatever. You know what I mean? You know movies maybe? To AMC, Regal.

Mario. Mario. But movies that make it there and don't make it to Alamo, Zachary Levi movies. Oh, that's right. Do you see that Kurt Warner, bio pick. He did it for God. Hell yeah.

Touchdown. In the cross. Hell yeah. But we saw exodus. Is that blasphemous? Yeah. Pope should stay in his lane. Yeah.

Pope shouldn't be telling Kurt Warner what to do. We got officiating. And it's Zachary Levi saying it about Zachary Levi, but he's saying Kurt Warner to get people to pay attention. Yeah. This episode is brought to you by

We saw Exit 8. It was just the movie that was playing out of time that worked for us, And we went, oh, okay, this is like based on a video game. So let's check it out.

Vaguely familiar with the video game. All I've seen from that movie is not familiar at all. I only know speed runs of that game. So wow. The guy, it's just the guy like scanning around like, man, there. It's upside down. And then he turns around and then it's like the next level. And it's like it's just that it's the video game.

What you see? They kind of did that in the movie, which that was what I like leaned over to. It was like, this is just like the speed runs. Yeah. Because the guy's going like dentist. Escher, door, door, vent. Man. Monster.

Yep. But we talk a lot about the movie on the ride along this week. It's going to be very spoiler-filled. So if you don't want spoilers for Exit 8,

here's a thing. If you're a claimoring to see that movie. Here's what I'll say. Don't worry about it. Even if you're going to see Exit 8, just listen to our spoilers. It's not going to matter to you whatsoever. We provide no context even if

you have seen them. Yeah. I think if you're going to see the movie and you listen to the ride-along first, it might actually prepare you to get less mad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It were really tempered. We were so excited.

We're like, oh, fuck, man. This is a 95-minute movie. This is awesome. And then the first thing that George said, like, walking out was, could knock probably about 20 off of that one. Yeah. Yeah. I very, very rarely.

And I'm not saying, like, it was a bad movie. No, no, no, no. But I very rarely walk out of a 95-minute movie ago, too long. Yeah. It did today. It's just thin. It's thin. And it's padded as a result.

It's paced very slowly. And then when I feel like that could have been a very good short film. Yes. That could have been a killer 35 minutes. And like so much of it too is like, you know, them kind of like the guy trying to figure out what's going on. And it's just like it's did a good job of capturing like watching somebody play game badly. Oh boy.

Yep. Yep. Give it to me. I'll do it. I'll get us through this. I'll get us through this faster than 95 minutes and we all go home. We'll go home. Maybe we have a baby.

It was Nick in his seat just telling the guy to turn. the round. Turn around. Yeah, he was doing that. Nick was upset. It was me at the end of Craven. Yeah. You were slunked in your seat at Craven.

Nick was in a bowl in his seat. It's true. He was sitting like Gracie. I didn't feel like Gracie. He was sitting Gracie style. It was also cold in that theater. That's why I always wear a jacket. Smart.

I always bring a jacket. But there were a bunch of people. There were a bunch of people in the alamo for a Wednesday. midday thing and we assume those people also don't have podcasts where they're going to do this, but you know, I mean, I would even say it was earlier than midday. Yeah, it was a little 11 in the morning, uh, meet up for us to go see this movie. Again, we didn't care about, but we watched so we could eat this food. It was entertaining at times.

Yeah. I thought, I thought there were flashes of something really good and really interesting in there. Overall, good experience. Yeah. But like, I got notes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But in order to review this food and everything, we actually need to learn about Alamo Draft House.

You guys ready to learn? Yeah! You guys don't know fucking shit about Alamo Draft House. What we learned? I think I do, but I guess we'll see. One fact, don't we keep going since before you. Guys, we didn't get into our Alamo opinions. Oh, yeah.

Do you have any Alamo opinions? For it for a while now. I feel like we pretty thoroughly got into it. I think we did actually. It was even better before 2011. Better food. The hatch. See that I can't say.

The hatch, chili, mac, and cheese. That was awesome. That stuff was good. That was awesome. They still had that. It was a... They do? No, no, they had it.

I was saying when we started to go back to 2011. Right. I was going to say, like, I remember that was the first kind of... He's trying to exclude us. He's gatekeeping right now. I remember that. It was even better before. It was even better. Yeah, you should have tried it before 2011.

Before Bernie showed up. We recorded... We recorded car captives and Nick is maybe still in that mode. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We went down the same route. We did. We ended up going down that same road. It's true.

I was twitching. I'll also say Eric was twitching when we sat down. He told us all the food that was an option and get whatever you want. He got done talking and then Nick Lena Jordan said, what food is it? And I lean Eric, I was like, just so you know, Nick's asking Jordan, everything you just said. I couldn't hear him. He started going like this. I couldn't hear it.

He took his hat off immediately. He took his hat off. Then when the guy came out and started doling out the food because it was all coming to me and pass it out. It was like, eh, he goes, pizza. I look over. Nick does nothing. And I'm, and I'm just like that. Eric got a pizza too.

And then he raised his hand. And I went, hey, he didn't raise his hand for his pizza. And he goes, oh, I saw. Oh, I saw. Do you think I can hear him? No. He's talking to Michael. The guy who said, who got the Mario pizza?

He said, who got the Mario pizza? No, he did. No, he did not. I did not hear. That's crazy. That's crazy. He did not do that. The ironic phone message didn't even come up yet.

I was eating my sandwich when that message was. You let him go hungry. You wanted more. You should have told me. I would order you more. What else would you have gotten? Why do you do this every time? He doesn't know what it's on the menu.

Every show we ever do, Nick goes, I wanted something, but I knew I couldn't say nothing. And every time we all go, just fucking say something. And he goes, oh, now I know for next time. Then next time comes. And now we're the angry people watching his speed run going, fucking say something. Turn around and order. I don't want to make a fuck. He thought it reset.

He didn't know if it was an anomaly. When I make a fuss, he makes a fuss. He always makes a fuss. He saw the little boy. He was like, is it? I'm trying to tape it. Who's the little boy in this situation?

Who is the man? Who is the mommy and who is the boy? I'm just lost all the time. Eric's the walking man who pushed me down a flight of stair. That also, that wound didn't make any sense. The wound, when I first saw it,

I thought like it got bit by something. It looked like a bite. I'm pretty sure. And then he got it from like falling down The stairs didn't make any sense at all. That might have been CGI. They might have added. It looked like it.

It didn't look like a fall or a bruiser or a scrape. It was like a circular bite. Yeah. The kid got like, he fell down. Yeah. Like he didn't even line on his cheek and he's got a big old rash on his chest. Big, big scrape. It didn't make any sense.

It didn't make any sense. Honestly, it looked like the mouth rat got him. It did. Yeah. Yeah, it looked like the mouth rat got him. It's something to think about. It sounds good. Let's get to these facts.

in theaters now. Alamo Drafton was founded in Austin, Texas. We know. Already knew that. By Tim and Carrie League. Knew that. Who were driven by a simple passion for watching movies and enjoying food and beer. Fact from Allo website.

I didn't know that. I didn't know that they loved food and beer so much. Why is it still on the website? I got to ask. I don't know. That's pretty crazy, right? It has really, it ain't that. Nope.

Yeah. Nope. We were watching the phone message thing pop up or something. And Nick goes, Tim Leag's spinning. his grave. I think Tim Lee's alive. Nick added after that he is still alive.

And then I went, he's in the back row spinning rolling his eyes. 11 a.m. In August 2005 Entertainment Weekly named the Alamo draft house cinema the quote the number one movie theater in the country doing it right. 2005 is also the year Bush got reelected

and YouTube launched so we're pretty far away from the world we knew, huh? Things change. Something to think about. Or do they? Yeah. 21 years ago. But hey guys. Remember Bush? Yeah, the wars in the Middle East that would never end?

Remember when we thought this was the worst it could get in 2005? We're just like, we really are. Rock bottom. Hey, look back out there? No, we weren't thinking that. We were graduating high school. Jordan was like a fucking jeet. Like a sophomore or something.

He was a freshman. He wasn't thinking this is the worst it gets. I was getting excited for episode three of Star Wars. You know what I was thinking at the time. I was like, whoa, he dodged that shoe. Yeah, he did. He did. That's what I was thinking.

Someone, after the Wendy's thing. I had to choke and fucking smashed his head, yeah, peanuts or whatever. Yeah, yeah. He passed out. Yeah. Like, domed himself. There was a, um,

there was a picture. After the monkey. Yeah, after the Wendy's thing, someone did that. And then somebody photoshopped on doing a shoe. It was like, watch out, Mr. Monkey. Get down.

You were probably thinking about it, though, because you fucking old. Why was I to vote for John Kerry? He was 32. He was all in 2005. Fuck of John Kerry. Is that your first? That's the, my first, my first election.

The flip flopper, the surfer. Hey, he's reporting for duty. Reporting for duty. You fucking loser, bitch. My first election was 08. Got to vote from Barack Obama. Hey, we were real different. Yeah.

And look at what you did, Jordan. I fixed everything. I think the first time I voted was for Hillary. I didn't Karen DeLam And then I was like Oh shit's heating up Yeah I better get in on this I had

I guess a similar thing I was like Hillary Yep Oh I voted too Brutal Thank God she lost In June 2024 Sony entertainment experiences

Bought Alamo Draftouse I remember this Until 2020 The U.S. Department of Justice prohibited film distributors from owning an exhibition company under what we, under what was known as the Paramount Consent Decrees,

which arose from a 1948 U.S. Supreme Court ruling to prevent vertical integration. Anyway, fuck that, we guess. Can't imagine how this could go wrong. Just doing the worst of the 1900 speed run the last five years. Wait, what's every bad thing that we did? We should just like

do it again. Fuck, what we just jam? Tariffs. Abortion. Just do, like, rewind that. I remember when they reversed that and I was like, whoa, there's about to be like an awesome. There's going to be like Amazon Prime theaters and stuff. It's weird that Sony is the only one. I think there are some smaller theaters that are owned by studios.

They are. Netflix owns a couple. Sony is the biggest owner now. So I think, I think what's happening is that they are getting what they can get out of it right now because that decision's going to get reversed again in our lifetime. And they're going to have to sell off their acquies, like, They're gonna have theaters and then go,

I guess we have to sell these, and it's gonna get all fucked up. I mean, it was a legitimate concern where like, you know, if the theater is owned by Paramount. Hold on. Nick texted me. Should have gotten chips in case.

Too late, Nick. God damn it. It didn't come through. Oh, yeah, I sent that an hour ago. It's loading. Just got on the Wi-Fi. Yes, you are right. Like, Sony owns this thing, and they won't let.

They were only going to show Madam Webb. And then Paramount won't be able to put their movies in here. And so what's the point of making films? And then it's, it just, it breaks all this stuff apart. You'd have to see the Paramount movies at the Paramount Theater. Exactly. And so that's, not that one on Congress. So you can't own the distribution.

Yeah. So it's like, it's like if, it's like if we had 100% eat and then our big idea, I'm just spitballing. Okay. Is that we started 100% eat.com. And then that just took you to a distribution site for just our stuff. And it's like kind of like the only. place you could get it and you just have like dwindling numbers on and on and on and on until

there's almost none left and then who knows what you do with your business at that point. Something to think about, I guess, if you're a media company of any kind in any year. Well, I mean, if we were making like big, what the fuck are you talking about? If we were, I mean, let's say we made a big project and we only put it. We only put it on that one spot. Yeah. And we were like, why did nobody watch it? Yeah.

How come nobody watched this thing we put where they, where people aren't? You're talking about us. No, not us. Oh, Netflix. I think you're talking about me. I'm talking about you, but I'm talking about your decisions. I decided to show up every day. Absolutely.

Let's go to where the people are. Fuck the people. All right. Good plan. As of April 2026, there are over 40 alibi locations, mostly in Texas. But don't worry, they close most of those Texas ones outside of the major cities. They also shuttered all their Arizona locations. and canceled their expansion plans.

At least you can play on your phone during a movie now. If anyone hassles you, just tell them you're trying to get popcorn. What are they going to do? Help you? Fat chance, you dunce. Now get that Candy Crush high score. Waiting for Godot. And waiting for Goddive can keep waiting for you.

I don't know what that is. That's a good joke. Thank you. Is waiting for Godot? Yeah, yeah. I write it. It's like an art. Yeah.

A cinematophile. See, it's funny, though, but you wrote it, but you know I'm reading it. Right, I know. And when I wrote it, I wait, he's not going to know how to pronounce this. But I don't know what that is. I think the joke, I think the joke is so good and Jordan is going to like it so much that I don't care. Okay, that's fine. As long as you knew.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't feel bad either. That's spelled go dodd. You can't trick me. The getting on your phone, here's my worry. Get your phone to complain about someone being on the phone. My worry, we know. Pretty crazy.

We know it's ironic. That barrier is thin. And there were times during this movie where I went, I could see if I got any miscalls. And it was like, I'm now inclined to just fuck it. Yeah, fuck it. If other people are going to do it, I'm going to do it too, asshole. It's anarchy.

I check my watch. If they're not mootin. Yep. I'm not going to stand by, let everyone loot. I'm certainly not going to stop them and be killed. Yeah. I might as well get a fucking free TV. Yep.

Like, what do you do? Getting some screen time. People bashing all these windows in, taking shit. I'm like, hey, stop. Fuck. Oh, it's Carcerio, huh? I don't, I don't even own physical media, but I get some Blu-ray.

Whoa, they got X-Nate. Yeah. We'll waiting for a lot. I will leave this one here. Somebody else, somebody who hasn't seen it. Yeah. We got waiting for GoDot. The commentary.

What the fuck do you think the commentary's like on the media? All right. And so in this part, the rats. Okay, so we're walking. We're walking. She still hasn't figured it out. Yeah, I remember in this part, we were all getting pretty frustrated going like,

are we sure in the script? He should still not understand what the fuck is happening here? How many more asthma attacks can we have and have them go through? We're going to use those all up in the first half, not the second half. Let's stream the game. Yep. I'm just what I'm thinking.

We got a live stream slot for this month. All right. We go until we beat the game. Enjoy our five minute stream. Turn around. Turn around eight. Turn around. It's upside down.

Turn around. Hang on, quit it distracted. All right, the final fact. I'm going in the door. In December 2020, 15 South of our L, Alamo, Draft House Cinema employees who said they were fired for unionizing, reached a settlement with the movie company. Quote, they offered me a large sum of money, said former Alamo draft house waiter Simon Ingrind. That's good.

Sounds like this whole thing worked out, and Alamo wouldn't try this again. In April 2025, after 58 days on strike, Alamo United Workers in New York City forced Sony to reverse its layoffs, reinstating all fired staff. Oh, whoops, LOWO, whoopsy. What a little oopsie. He so silly, they did that again, but certainly nothing to worry about him. history repeating itself in April of this year. Sony announced it will be laying off hundreds of employees, including those within the

entertainment experiences division. Oh, silly. No one could have seen this coming. Whoopsie. Oh, why are they getting? Do you think it has anything to do with the phone ordering that these people are getting laid off all the time? It's so crazy that it keeps happening to them. Honestly, what a coincidence.

I don't know people have been paying attention in the news about these warehouses. Yeah, but we got to burn down the Alamo draftouts. I know a great way to prevent these warehouse fires. I'm not going to burn it down. But if it's burning down and I'm standing there, I might take some.

I might take some DVDs. A great way to prevent these warehouse fires. Turns out, just pay people. Just pay people. Have people work there. Have people work there. Yeah.

Stop the fires. Yeah. It was a ghost town. A fire could have broke out at that drive house. Nobody would have. The fire jumped out. I was like, I'll get you.

Where's there, fellas? The warehouses, like, I think one of the warehouses that burned down, it was like the one guy who said, the fires and the eight other employees that were there all got out safely. It was like, this was like a 35,000 square foot facility.

Also, no like water suppression system. Wow, big shock. And how come they didn't lock all the doors so that way nobody could get out triangle shirtwaist fire style? That way everyone can just burn alive inside the Amazon warehouse. What's the problem? Go down with the ship, captain. Geez.

There's not captains there. Oh, that's right. Just a bunch of their poop deck swobbers. They're all playing the violin. It really goes to show the big companies. The big companies will always be happy to pay. Just to keep, to either crush a union attempt, a unionization attempt, or to just like pay off a settlement.

Just don't unionize. They'll do anything but let them unionize. Sam Olman or whatever was like, yeah, AI's taking everyone's jobs. Everyone's fucked. You guys are all fucked. And then someone threw them all. I'll kill at his house. And the next day, he's like,

I think we should pay everyone like universal income. It's like, wow, that made everything happen faster than just marching. Like a guy who wants to murder CEO. They're all bots, by the way. All those Patreon bots. It's not me.

It's simply my bots that listen to this podcast. The Patreon bots. Yeah, who are paying us. Yeah, yeah. All the bots that we get on Apple podcasts and all the bots we get on Patreon. They pay us in crypto. Obviously, the easy bots.

We got crypto. Oh, man. Yeah, the super dog. So Sam Altman got visited by three Molotov cocktail ghosts. Yeah, one of them, one of them was a Molotov cocktail ghost. The second one was a guy just shooting a gun at his house from the street. And I don't know what the third ghost was, but hopefully it was all figured out. It was the ghost of Molotov.

It was a ghost of Cocktails future. Yeah. His son. His son. Yeah, his son's Molotov future. His son's Molotov future. Which is it? Which is it?

Have you decided? He opens this window. Also, you're down there. What day is it? Lady, have an opinion. Yeah, right? It's your body. Your body.

Stop asking this. Yeah, why is it up to him? That beginning, he's talking to her. He gets bumped. The headphone pops out. He puts it back in, and it's her continuing the conversation. Having said a lot of stuff,

and she's like, are you listening? And he goes, oh, yeah. And it's like, just go, hey, I got bumped in the subway. I couldn't hear anything you just said about this. life-altering decision. He clearly doesn't care at all. And I guess that's...

That's right. That's the thing. Huge flaw of his. Yeah. Well, he was breathing heavy, too. Ugh. What a we... But only in the first half.

Yeah. Less than half. Yeah. And then he fixed it. He got over it. Yeah. Game money. Holy shit.

We're only 40 minutes. I know. Thank God. Guys, those are the Alamo facts. I want to learn about these new menu options. Okay, cool. Yeah. We went through.

Yeah. All right. It says here, Alamo draft house, New menu. Buckle up everyone. Get ready for some tasty sounding food. Look, go, go, go. Note. Alamo deleted their post

about menu changes. They had a whole press release post. Was someone dressed as Jesus Christ? It was a doctor. A doctor. He was a doctor. It was Sony as a doctor. Wait, if he's a doctor, does that mean Gracie was pretending to be Jesus Christ?

Yes. I thought she, every time she's talking about being a doctor, did you mean Jesus? Yeah. Well, no, that's just how she keeps winning. Oh my God. She's racing on the ladder. Yeah.

So they had a post. they had a press release on their site and it's showing the new food. Attention, attention. It was all of that. Showing everything. Here's the new food. Here's all the images.

Here's the press release. Here's all the stuff. I went back to put it all together yesterday. And I went to that page. Never assume a page will always exist. It's gone. You can't find anything. No web archive of it.

Nope. There's no web archive of it. I couldn't find it. It's gone. It's from the last day of March. It was from the last day of March and they deleted it. Weird. Was there was there like?

like pushback or backlash? I think general because nobody liked their announcement of the mobile ordering and they kept that up. Yep, that's also the worst. I don't know if you've been to like that site. It's just like the FAQ of whatever. No one is like signing their name to it. No one is saying, hey, I'm this guy.

I made this decision. I'm in charge and here's what we're doing. It's just like, hey, here's out you, Alamo. It's the same as like what we saw on the screen, but longer. And it's like, can I play? on my phone? No.

Yeah. Yeah, you definitely can. It is. It's fucking crazy. It's crazy that they left that up, but took out, took down the one where they're like, uh, mozzarella steaks. Pretzel. You mean the jumbo mozzarella sticks?

Why don't you tell us about them? The lightly breaded 21 day aged Wisconsin mozzarella served with buttermilk ranch and Mar-Nar. Uh-huh. That was ranch. You kept it. It tasted like shit. He handed the- What'd you think it was?

He handed the, I didn't know what it was. You handed the plate back to me and you kept her. I go, he must really like the ranch. I didn't want anyone else to suck it. Fuck this. Leave it. Leave it. Don't mind.

I want more food. That's how hungry he was. He was sucking shit ranch. You didn't even know what it was. He was drinking. He was so hungry. Didn't drink the ranch. He was so hungry. Poor little guy.

Because you wouldn't let him eat. I couldn't believe I did that. Come here you. Just come to me. Don't look at him. I mean, for fuck sick. He looked at me. say?

When Nick said, we're like, well, fucking yesterday, I got you the goddamn the fondue you want. And it was the best thing there. What's it? What that was yesterday?

How do you sit even day? And I was also pissed at Jordan when he went, gave him the benefit of the doubt. Yeah. And I was crazy. Go, why? Have you fucking been in the same room

that I've been in? Nick went to the bathroom. And you were talking about how Nick was asking me about the food. I go, I just give him the benefit of the doubt. I figured he couldn't hear it. Eric.

And then Michael was like, we're around him all the time. This is the benefit of the doubt. This is how he always is. He's never lost the benefit. He stopped listening after you said Michael's. It's your drink. It's Michael.

You said it was fine. He doesn't listen when he's in the room with us looking at us. That's not true. You went, he's far away. He doesn't listen when he's close. That's not true. I hear what I want to hear. It's the same thing.

But I couldn't hear it all that time. He really wanted to hear he just couldn't. I just couldn't. He was saying a bunch of stupid shit over there. So how Nick is your little brother. You're like, go easy on you, guys. He didn't mean it. I know, he didn't mean it.

He couldn't here. I don't know. We all also ordered the stuff from this menu that we ran down and Nick got the Mario Pizza. I tried one of all the other things. It was a limited time option. It was. And it wasn't that good.

Okay. They also had Bavarian. pretzel sticks. Lightly salted served with honey mustard and beer casso. Yeah, okay. More like a Velvita block you melted in the microwave. New pretzel sucks. New pretzel. The pretzel. The pretzel is the canary in the

coal mine. It is a breadloaf. It's a breadstick. It's just a breadstick. It's just a breadstick. It's just a salted breadstick. It's just the salted buttered bread steak. And then you dip it in plastic sheen. Yeah. And then you dip it in Velvita. Yeah. Dude. Their their casso is so good. Yep. It was good. I've eaten

gallons of it. I remember. I've eaten so much over the years. I mean, when we went to see Craven, I got a pretzel. I think you did too and you got the queso. I finished my pretzel. I have so much casso left and you were like, give me that. Give me. Are you? Yeah. Are you going to stick your fingers

in and eat it? Are you going to do this? Are you going to do this? You're going to just like, so I see you have some cheese there. Yeah. It's so good. Yeah. Well, it was. It's so good. I said back then. But that's not it. Go back to Craven.

Yeah. I know, right? I'd take Craven if I get the food back. I'm on the fence. I don't know if the food is worth it. The barbecue chicken pizza, which I believe you got, Eric. Yeah, me and Michael had some. You guys tried it?

This is chicken, pickled jalapenos, cheddar, chihuahua cheese, barbecues sauce, scalyons, and buttermilk ranch. Now, don't let the two kinds of cheeses fool you into thinking there was a lot of cheese on this pizza. Like a cheeseless pizza. As there was nearly none. Yeah. What was it? Like, well,

blocks that they melted or what? No, it was like nothing. It was just, it was a sauce and hot, hard, hard pressed to find cheese on that. Yeah.

This is like their densest pizza. Like it wasn't a brand new thing. This is like a big offering. I said it like, it wasn't bad. It actually like tasted pretty good. Mm-hmm. But sickeningly like,

and not just for Michael, lack of cheese. Like a normal person. He asked me, he's like, is there cheese on this? And I went, I don't think so.

A bunch of like, yeah. I was just like, oh, maybe much like the Mario Pizza, was I mistaken and thinking this was a cheese to pizza and it's not, oh, they're supposed to be? Did you look at it under the light? I saw you lift it under there. I took a picture.

Oh, okay. Oh, yeah, I didn't take a picture of my food. Oh, that's, I'm not worried about that. Whoops. I didn't eat. I took a picture of the empty lobby. The drizzle on it is the ranch or whatever. That's a lot of ranch.

Yeah, it looks like it's mostly ranch. There is no cheese. I don't see it. There's no cheese. And then there's supposed to be fucking two? If you think it's out of here. That's the ranch. Yep.

There's no cheese on the pizza. Is that the shit ranch that they gave Nick? That he loved. No, that's different color. No. How would you know that? I don't know. This one says buttermilk ranch and that one said buttermilk ranch.

It was not that color. I'm not getting into this. You come to me when you want food. You want to have a food fight. I'm out of it. I think this last one. This is what Jordan got. The chicken tender sandwich. Grilled or fried chicken tenders.

Tost in your choice of sauce or rub. Leaf lettuce, tomato, dill pickle, come back, sauce, toasted bun. I got it grilled and no dill pickle. I was laughing at remembering. Deciding. It was a choice. If you wanted to grill or fried. Uh-oh.

It was a real. No, I knew he was thinking. He was a... Yeah. There was a long boss and I went. You want it good or you want it healthy or good? It's like, I know what the options is. He was like, grilled.

I know what this is, Michael. I had to go grilled because because of my... The Michael Jordan podcast. Dude. The Michael Jordan podcast this week. Let me tell you. We were not wrong when it was like, let's eat the good food today.

Yeah. Yeah. These cards are nice as fuck. I just, I put them there to be displayed. I love it. That's awesome. And they'll also say,

which isn't on here, I got the kids mac and cheese. Yes. So the kids mac and cheese is new. Okay. It's the smaller. Yeah, it's like the smaller kids option of it.

Oh no. I forgot the bag of goldfish. Because of the bag of goldfish. I think you're supposed to like, I'm not putting this over. I think you're supposed to like crush it over. No, You are, and I said, I'm not doing this.

So there was food that could have been given to know it was on the floor. That looked like a decent size mac and cheese. It was actually pretty decent for kids. For kids, yeah. Hatch green chili? In there at all? No. No?

No. I don't think they have. I don't think they have hatch green chilies in craft. Like when you pour it out of the box? No, they don't. They don't. That's not part. That's not in the powder.

Oh, it wasn't powder because it was the same. It was the same cheese. Vita, which I'll say. It's the whack cheese. It's the same. This is the same cheese blasphemous in the queso. It did lend itself better to macaroni.

He did take a bite and he leaned over and he's like I gave you the price of something. This cheese is bad. Same cheese in here works better. Yeah, it does. It does. As I was eating it, I was like, okay, okay, yeah, like a thicker blockier cheese with macaroni was all right.

Was it your standard elbow? Just your standard elbow? Yeah. Nothing. It was no shells. And it was like not at least, it wasn't the horrible like just

over cooked soft noodle. They actually like cooked it well. Okay, okay. But I was very clear, I was like, don't give me wrong. I'm not saying it's good. It's not as horrible as I thought it was going to be. Okay. Yep. Yeah. Expectations were low. So yeah, there's a win for them, I guess.

Way to go, guys. Local news is in decline across Canada. And this is bad news for all of us. With less local news, noise, rumors, and misinformation fill the void. And it gets harder to separate truth from fiction. That's why CBC News is putting more journalists in more places across Canada, reporting on the ground from where you live, telling the stories that matter to all of us,

because local news is big news. Choose news, not noise. CBC News. Frozen lasagna, medium power, 15 minutes. Sounds like Ojo time. Let's play.

It's a little long. I can only assume it's nothing but good things. Yeah. Quote, here at the Alamo draft house We understand that hamburgers and popcorn So much better when Yep. Here at Alamo

Drafts, we understand that hamburgers and popcorn so much better when you're not cramming them in your mouth while staring mindlessly at a big loud movie

read a message posted this morning on the official Alamo Draft House Instagram page which featured photographs of smiling customers staring intently at plates of hamburgers,

popcorn, salads, and cookies with the large screen previously used to show noisy distracting movies now featuring the words it is dinner time projected in tasteful, understated text.

Everything you loved about the Alamo Draft House is staying the same, except it isn't. We're keeping the room extremely dark, all the seats are facing the wall, and babies are not allowed. All that's changed is that the annoying films that used to make eating in our restaurant, a distracting ordeal,

are finally getting the boot, end quote, Clickhole. This was, Clickhole posted an article about how Alamo Draft House is changing the game. And it went up yesterday. Oh, God. It was excellent timing for this. I didn't know what I was reading.

I still don't know what it. It is so. It is dinner time. Alamo draft house is fucking it up so bad that everyone's just, everyone's going at it. Everyone is dogging on them. Clickhole is a onion-esque type website. It's like a BuzzFeed onion.

Mm-hmm. And so it's, it's nice to see that. Alamo Draft House is under fire by other people. Everyone hates it. Yeah, yeah, because it's fucked. But we, guys, we fly it through this episode because we need to get to our review of what we eat.

All right. We didn't fly through. But it's a long, arduous journey, kind of a loop, a Groundhog Day style loop. And anomaly, oh, groundhog day, that's what it was like. Turn around. That's what it was like.

Well, you hear from you in a second. We call you review. I think Michael should read the first two, Jordan Green, the last one. right. Go for it. I should read the, which one? The first two.

The first two. Yeah, hard to hear him. Oh, Jordan's gonna do the last one? Yes. No, I heard him. I was just surprised you're having Jordan read that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Great. It's good. I couldn't hear me. Dante. Oh, oh. Gotcha. Gotcha. I showed up after a few minutes

of the movie starting and was told we couldn't enter. Even though my friends had entered a few minutes before. The movie was only about seven, eight minutes in. Terrible experience. They were not accommodating at all.

Good. This is a great review. They let them in like 70 minutes ago. By the way, I was like 70 minutes late. You're not allowed to show up late. Also, I'll tell you. That was another thing they took off the thing. I'll tell you this. That's not part of it anymore.

You can show up whatever you want. The sign was up front though. When I was standing in the void forever with no one there. There's a sign that says no late numbers. That's old. But what I will say about that is even this guy complaining, I assume is their policy because I've never been turned away. I'm late.

all the time. It's when the movie has to start. Right. It's not the start time. Not like the trailer. So you missed all the trailers and relate to the movie. You were actually about 28 minutes late. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just saying I have I have shown up. Michael lays it down to a science. When we went to see one battle after another, I was like, I don't know if you show it up. And then like right as the last trailer ended, it comes in and sits down. Why are you timed that perfectly? I do it all the time. Usually because other people are making me late. Right. But now you're just used to it.

You're thinking real hard over there. What's up? No one checked our tickets. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, granted, the guy at the front sort of did when I went, hey. Right, right, when you did that.

But what I'm saying is that in the theater? I usually could have just walked in. If we didn't order anything, no, that's another, no questionable thing came to us and asked for tickets. Yeah, that's another questionable thing about like them getting what it's,

Hey. So you can. So if you want to just sneak in, you can. Is it even sneaking at that point? No, you just, You're walking in. You just won't be able to eat. Why?

Just order anyway. Maybe they won't check. You're scanning the QR code. It doesn't check our tickets. I was like, oh, oh, Eric has the tickets on his phone. I'm going to need that. Oh, yeah. No, it doesn't do that.

It doesn't do that. It knew, based on the QRco that I scanned, what seat I was in. So I just confirmed. Your order back in the day. Yeah. They wouldn't even, they wouldn't even ask you how you were until you showed your ticket. Yes, absolutely. Hey, bitch, over the fire you.

Yeah. Oh, hi. How are you? Oh, wait. Wait, if you did, if you wanted to be like really sure, you could just buy one ticket and then go with all your friends. And then if you order food just on like the one thing, you're bringing it right here. Exactly. That's essentially what we did.

They just don't check your ticket anymore. Because I don't know how much now involvement the server has with everything else, probably nothing. Yeah. Because it used to be like. I mean, I'm sure there's some back in system that's like here are the, it'll show like. Oh, do they care and even check it? Is that part of their job anymore to check? Probably not.

The only time they came in was to drop out. It was to drop off food or drinks and that was it. That's fucking crazy. That didn't hit me until right now. You can just go in there. I bet. I bet no one does it anymore. And it's like I see something,

say something for the employees. If you notice people sitting in seats that aren't like, because they have that little board. Yep. You know, like where the cups, where the water cups are. And like there's a little screen of the theater. And they have highlighted seats of which seats sold tickets.

I bet I bet it's now like if you notice. Yeah. Yeah. But also, hey, where are your tickets? But yeah, say something. Also, we won't be paying you extra. Yeah. It would be like, dude, you should just, if you're working at Alamo, you just let people watch fucking movies, dude. Yeah, they deserve it at this point. Matt Walsh. Matt Walsh says, I used a Fangdango gift card and was lectured by the person

working up front how I should really buy the ticket from the theater instead because it's better for them. Fuck off. I know how should really, wait, no, here we go. I know how Alamo draft house can fix that problem. Dot, dot, dot. Don't just sell tickets on Fandango. I paid a lot of money for a guilt trip.

Also, they got my food order wrong twice. And at that point, I gave up on ordering a third. comfy seats, though. This is a great review. Can't argue with it. I also doubt that it was a lecture about how you can't use Fandango here or whatever. I'm sure it was, he gave him the Fandango gift card and the guy was getting it. Then he probably did the thing like the GameStop thing where you have to push your gift card.

Yeah, it was like, oh, hey, did you do. You know that you can actually buy gift cards I'm sure it was a sales pitch. I'm sure it was a lecture sales bid. I'm sure it was just that, hey, we actually sell gift cards here too. Also, like that guy gets any money from, like you'd be lecturing you of going,

hey, you're taking money out of my pocket, man. Oh shit, I'm fired. Yeah, don't worry. Sony's doing that for you. Hell yeah. Comey seats, though. Yep. Jordan.

All right. Last one. This is a... I didn't have a name for this one. Yeah, I... Weird. It's a classic. This one says...

Yeah. I was wondering if you guys actually enjoy trading your customers like pieces of shit. Because that's how I felt when I went to the Alamo Draft House. Okay? You know what? I didn't know that I wasn't supposed to text in your crappy-ass theater. It was too fucking dark in that place for me to find my seat. All right?

I was using my phone as a flashlight to get to my fucking seat. So excuse me using my phone in USA. Magnited States of America. where you're free to text in a theater. I as not aware, I couldn't text in your theater. Right? I've texted in all the other theaters in Austin.

No one ever gave a fuck about what me I was doing on my fucking phone, all right? And it was on silent. It wasn't on loud. It wasn't bothering anybody. You guys, obviously, were being assholes to me. And I'm sure that's what you do, you know, to rip people off.

You take my money and you throw me out, you know. I will never be coming back to your Alamo draft house or whatever. I'd rather go to a regular theater where people are actually polite. And it, you know, I'm going to tell everyone about how shitty you are. And I'm pretty sure you guys are being assholes on purpose. So thanks for making me feel like a customer. Thanks for taking my money. Asshole.

And then what is it, good? Yeah. So, good Alamo. That was a real voice. someone left. They used to play that before screaming. That was my introduction.

That was the don't talk. Yep. Yeah. That was the good old days. I used this as an ad for not using. To have you silence your shit and shut up. And if you go see. They played a voicemail.

In like 2011, 2012 this happened. Oh yeah. And they played this voicemail. And it made like the news. I can hear it from New Jersey. And I was like, this place rules. Yeah.

They like, they, this was on the news that Alamo Draft House was doing. this at this time. I never realized how long this was. Yes, it's very long. That's why I thought, I was, I was going, you want Jordan to read this? And then Nick was like, you couldn't hear him, right? You couldn't hear him, right? No, I heard him. I knew that, I knew Jordan,

I know this one backwards and forward. I knew Jordan's getting a real kick out of that. You go to Master Pancake. Master Pancake still doesn't. They play it all the time and they always like, I will never be coming back to your fucking theater. It's so good. It's so fucking good. It, that was, to me,

such a fun thing that Alamo would do where it's like fuck us, fuck you. And it's like, God, we won't apologize for having standards. No shit. And then now it's just like, we're very sorry for our standards.

You can play on your phone a little bit if you want to. Yes, we know it's ironic. Ha ha, ha, though. Magnited States of America. It's the best. It's the fucking best. Her phone wasn't on loud.

Yeah, it wasn't allowed. It wasn't allowed. It wasn't on loud. You should, I'm sure it's on YouTube. It is. Find it on YouTube. It's very funny. It's short.

It's a perfect, like, timepiece of why Allen was sucks ass them. Yeah. And it was the thing, going to Master Pancake and watching the plate or whatever, and the crowd would, like, say the punctuated parts back. It's so fun. Yeah.

It's just, like, what a blast. And then now it's, I don't even know why they showed the video of the dog saying, don't be on your phone before. Right. Yeah. Why bother? It was so long, too, though.

It was like, here you go. Here's the dog. saying don't be on your phone hey guys here's how you Alamo get on your phone on your phone dude

whip that phone right out some some dumb fuck in a fucking like boardroom somewhere is like here's how you alamo yeah that's exactly

yeah that's not Alamo there was a sketch here how do I alamo fuck up can someone teach me oh fucking Christ

can you teach me how to Alamo there was a sketch from a comedy group that I really like called the Birthday Boys and they were making fun of like Carl's Jr.

And then they just, they made up a place called Freshies. And it was one of the guys going, how do you Freshie? And then it's the guys going, I Freshie two at a time. And like eating them or whatever. And then the whole sketch is people calling the guy who came up with that like idea for how do you freshly going, what a great

idea. That's so smart. You're so smart. I love, I love telling people how I freshie. And I'm like, this is good. It's the exact same thing. How do you Alamo is the worst fucking idea. This shit sucks ass. It's fucked up.

Don't worry. The food sucks now too. And it's like they didn't, the thing is like, Alamo was so locked into place. They just had to not do anything. No. Right? Like,

like Sony could have overlorded it and no one would ever know. As long as they didn't touch it. If they had been like messing with shit in the back. Right. Like not in the theater, but on like, you know, higher level. Uh-huh. You know,

don't ruin the movie experience. Because once you start affecting the customer, then I don't want to go. You got, you got, someone got in there and was like, I'm going to write the next script for the don't talk thing.

And it's like, oh my God. There was some like PR team hire him or something. Oh, it reeks. The personality has gone and it's been replaced. Like everything else, it's not replaced with it. You don't have a personality. You shouldn't replace it.

Replace everything else. Do your corporate stuff. Yeah, it's not that hard. Just leave it. Just leave it. No, you didn't have to change it. Bring back cell phone girl. The problem is when you're,

you think that when you get into a C-suite position, you have to show affected change of like, here's what I'm coming to change. Here it is. It's, you can't just be the guy who works in the background and like steers the ship. You have to be on the front going,

I'm steering the ship. And you're not holding the thing that steers the ship. No one's at the wheel. You're just standing on the front. Exactly. Yeah, you're just like right off the edge of the earth. It's flat. And so you're going right off the edge of it.

It's boarded by Antarctica and then with guns. That's what. That's right. That's right. They put guys with guns on the edge. So you don't go to the edge. There's nothing. I could go to the edge if the guys with the guns were stopping me.

There's a bunch of guys with guns. That's as far as my imagination goes. Earth is flat and the only thing stopping it is guy with gun. The most dangerous thing. Stop anything. The guy can't stop anything. Well, those are your reviews, but we have our reviews for Almodraff House's updated menu. Just an everything.

Yeah, and sort of the overall experience of this whole thing. Jordan will start with you. The sandwich I have wasn't bad. It is a... For a grilled chicken. It is a cost-cutting measure when you just go, like, just use the tenders also and make a set. And of course, as usual, you're taking a bite.

You get to, like, the last two, the middle falls out the back. Yep. Yeah, I was like, I'll deal with that later. Who could have seen this coming, everyone? We all did. And then I got it with, lemon pepper rub.

Oh, yeah. It was pretty good, actually. It was not bad, despite it falling apart on me. They did change the fries back. I think on the Michael Jordan podcast we recorded yesterday. We were talking about Alamo a little bit.

I talked about how the fries change. That must have been an off week because the fries are back. Okay. I don't know. The fries, I think, have returned to normal. Those were not the fries I had last time. Good.

They do. I know I always complain about the salt. Salt levels. That was too much salt. Oh, I thought I was old too much on this one. The mozzarella sticks. No Wendy's.

Tasteless. What? What? How were, how were taste? What happened? 21 days is the limit, huh?

The Marinara was tasteless too. And they were jumbo. They were big. I was excited. They were big. And they were very cheesy. And they were breaded well. The ranch was so good.

And they, I hear really good things about the range. Tasteless. I took a bite. Nothing. Kept eating. I ate the whole stick. And I didn't say anything at the time.

Because the movie. was starting. Yeah. But you said it like as we were leaving and I was just like, same day, I thought the same thing. I was like, how is there so much and no flavor?

They're thick and big and like the texture is decent and they used flavorless cheese. It's so crazy. It tastes like nothing. It tastes like nothing. And it sucks. I love mozzarella sticks.

Those are huge and I would get that and be like, dude, I'm fucking. And they got good cheese pole. Yeah, like it was like gooey and fucked up. And they tasted like nothing. It tasted like air. It was like tofu mozzarella. It was like tofu.

I was just like blown away. I was like, come on, dude. I'm not even going to say they were bad, but they weren't good. Fucked up. The new pretzels also very disappointing. We're talking about that. All those brain new breadsticks?

It's shit. Brett sticks? They suck. It sucks. I didn't get the chips of queso. Nick texted me too late. But the queso came with the pretzel. It sucks.

Hour and a half too late. It fucking sucks. I dipped it, had it with the cheese and Michael, so huh? And it was like, that was not good. Yeah, it's terrible.

It's velvita. They didn't change the mustard. but the mustard is also That mustard also sucks though The mustard is not great It's not as good as Cocos Yeah Well because it's not spicy mustard

It's like a humming mustard Yeah It is all humming It's like a sweet humming mustard Texas is like Texas is scared To do like muskard Yeah do it They don't do muskered man

It's like you gotta go to like An actual sausage place Yeah That's when they got the real muskered Yeah if they're doing If they're doing sausages They'll have the grainy mustard Yeah but nobody else does

Griny mustard at any restaurant. New Bromples has it. They know what's up. Cocos is really good. I like their must have a lot. Because it's always good. And those cards are fucking adorable. That's right. Yeah, and then the experience, like, the experience

is dog shit. It's just me, me thinking it was like, I'm bummed out, dude. I'm enjoying the movie and I'm like taking my kids there and it sucks. Yeah, and I'm in a comfortable spot, but I don't want to hassle with this phone stuff, I guess I could come and just like not order anything. Yeah. But at that point is like, why I'll just go somewhere else. Yeah. Maybe it'll be

quiet. I don't know. Don't worry, everyone will still be on their phones. The future is very uncertain right now. It's really a bummer. We'll see which way the coin. I just like, I feel like it's too wishful thinking to think they're going to somehow completely reverse the menu

they just changed. Like, if the food changes, if the food does a 180, if it does, it's going to take forever. Yeah. Oh, yeah. There's no way that's. They're not going to reverse this stuff. They could quick fix the order.

Yes, they could change the QR thing. Because if they have like a bad, like tomorrow, like fuck it. Yeah, we brought the paper bag. They can't do that with the food. Also, the menu felt smaller. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

It's been shrinking. It has been getting smaller and smaller. See, that's the shit they've been doing, but they haven't fucked with it. They've just been removing stuff. This was the final big, like, and we're fucking it. Yeah. It's fucked. And look, if that's how you want, I'm pissed off.

Bring back the weight staff. Get rid of the QR code. I'll deal with the subpar food for a little bit. And then you can fix that later. Like, that'll get me back on board at least one foot in. Yeah, one foot. Because I'm about to be two feet out. Yeah.

I'm gonna give it a 50. Go fucking 3 feet. 59. I might go 3 feet out. That's when I do. That's the anomaly though. Yeah, something to worry about. Also, I said 3 feet out,

and Nick said, wow, so he's excited. Oh. I was in sleeping. I was angry thinking. Sorry, micro nap. I can't tell the difference. Three. Whoa.

Three? Three? Sorry, the experience bled a little bit into the food. Three. Fuck them. Fuck you. Fuck you. Sony, go to hell.

No, fuck you. So an average score of 31. Like, that's, I'm sorry. I've been gone, I was like, as I was sitting here, like, I've been going there 15 years. This experience used to be a 95 or 98 experience. I signed up for the extra thing. Yes, you have the most. And then you have to go fight for it.

Fuck you. Yeah, like, they ruined it, dude. This is not like first, I mean, it is first one problems. But like, it's a thing that truly, if we're just talking about the movie theater, don't tell me people have cancer, okay? I know that. If we're just up with there, it was awesome. It's like fucking ruined it.

It's totally lost it. They ruined it. They ruined it. It's three. Oh, you think it's that bad? What about 9-11? Yeah. This is going to be,

I immediately thought of Madison's scorekeeping. The end of the year, this is probably going to be the biggest disparity between the two of you. There's a 56 point different between the two of you. I think a 31 and the pretzel is not undeserved. I agree.

Just to me, the drop-off is like, I think it's, I think we're only halfway through it. I think it's 2005. I agree with you. I agree with you. If we're half-off, Halfway through the drop off, though, I'm 90% checked out. Yeah.

So it's like, I don't even, I don't even, because I won't be right for the rest of the job. I don't even care that much right now. Like, it's already dropped off so much right now. It's already basically dead to me. Yeah. I don't care if it gets worse. I could only care if it got better. Yep.

Hey, that's, uh, god damn. I think you're right. Tim Lee's fucking rolling in his grave. You're right. Yeah, you're right, Nick. God damn. I will say this is probably like, this is the first time I've been forced to do the online or on the phone stuff. And I was just like, that was the most disappointing.

Yeah. Because last month when I went and it was like, they're like, they're hanging on. Yeah. It's like Austin, Austin has not yet fallen. I know. And then they fall.

And then they go. And then they start with Mueller. Start with Mueller. Where you were like, I went to Mueller. They had the pretzel there. It's like, that's not good. No,

there's been compromised. It's all done. It's all. Olympus has fallen. White House down. Pope. Post been compromised. Pope is weak on Alamo food.

It is a crime. It's a crime. Think about it. There you have it. There's your score. Go check it out for yourself. if they still have an Alamo draft house open near you. Brutal, absolutely brutal.
