Oh, we're starting! Jordan, we're starting! Welcome to Face Jam, the show where we, that's right, Michael, Jordan, and Eric and Nick and Gracie do try every new fast food creation to let you know if you need it, you probably do. I'm currently still your host, play the song again, Michael Jones, alongside my co-host Jordan Sweers. Can you start it over real quick? It's trailing. I just want, just real quick. Why are we starting it over? You know what? There we go. Cause it was, we already did the intro. Jordan, how are you?

What? Why? It started trailing too soon. I'm not wearing headphones, so I have no idea what was happening. No one else is wearing headphones. That's why you don't understand. Don't question my methods. I'm wearing the headphones.

Nick's wearing headphones. He knew. Hey, today we're reviewing pot belly. Can we just take it all from the top? Say pot belly. Are you okay? I was waiting to see if he was going to say pot belly. He didn't.

Today we're reviewing pot belly. That's the restaurant. Ring of fire sandwich. Yeah. Also, I don't think he said how you were. He made that weird for some reason. Yeah, it doesn't matter. Like most intros, and I'm curious to know the stats on this,

Eric talked before I was even introduced. No. Usually he talks sometimes before anyone talks. It's true. There's probably a couple. If you count like, as talking. Why did Gracie laugh so hard at that?

That's the sound he makes when Nick walks. Nick's out of here. Goddamn right. I'm in a fit. First of all, I'm in a hot fit right now. Oh, is this you weaving? Yeah. No, this isn't weaving.

This is me talking about the hotness. Something else got woven into that intro. I'll tell you that. It's just I'm feeling the heat of this ring of fire sandwich. I feel like I'm on fire. What I was going to say, and I'm giddy with joy is our our faith our face jam family we have here we do so much stuff now I feel like it's like a million things in between doing actual face yeah yeah yeah we have made like seven videos since we've done face jam the show proper which you're listening to now and

that makes me happy we just had we've been trying to do more face jamming forever and now it's like got this thing got that thing it's on this thing it's on first this comes out and we'll have a ride along which was very eventful crazy we haven't told you about this yet uh and then we also have a video that me and jordan shot with pasta pete that was that was great because it was just we were hanging out on the weekend and we saw an opportunity for a video gotta take it we took him through a maze and it's we let chris lead it's so he was running his hands along the maze so he wouldn't get lost it's so fucking good it was so so great. I was so happy. There is one moment where something unexpected happens.

Only it was a scary I'll say it was a scary Halloween maze. That we were doing in the daytime. Okay it was like 3pm but. Outdoors. It was yeah. And it was a scary Halloween maze and one of us got scared. Okay.

Stay tuned to find out. Make sure you watch that. I'm trembling with excitement. And it's great because, like, I've always wanted us to be able to do more videos like this, and now we finally have the opportunity or a place to put them with an added value for people who are subscribing to First. Have you noticed this, though? Which, you know, common thread. Talk about how you wonder how many times

Eric started talking before you have. These are all really great videos. What's the common thread in there? Oh, you're not in some. Oh, I'm not in some. Who's in every single one? I'm filming the videos with my phone! I mean, I'm just saying. Just gets more time than the both of us. Alright, Nick can film it with his phone.

Fine. Fine. Whatever. Just saying, Eric's going, someone's not around. Let's do Face Jam content. Right. Hey, now that Jordan's gone, let's film some great content. That's not how that works.

That's what he said, I think. We're waiting for Jordan. I think. So we're waiting for Jordan. We might as well do this. We're waiting for Michael, which is code word for finally, Michael's not here. That's what I'm saying. I'm always here, not working, waiting to do face jam.

I'm trying to find out who's running around stealing our chocolate gummy bears. You! No! Michael said he doesn't know. I told you what I knew, and it was very little. You stole the chocolate gummy bears! I was looking for my new Shady Rays after I dropped them in the ocean. I got new ones, not from the ocean, from Shady Rays.

I'm waiting for my package to show up, and maybe I've seen a package from Nuts.com. And I thought, that's not addressed to me. Let me just get into it. Here's what Michael said. When Eric finds the nuts.com package opened and some chocolate gummy bears eaten, I don't know how that happened. Right.

To give you more information than nothing. Imagine if he got there and he didn't have that information. He'd be confused. Well, he would be like, what does Michael know about this? He already knows. Nothing. Yeah. And then I said, next time you don't know what happened, can you not know about saving me some? Oh, he definitely saved you some.

They were, there's plenty. So nuts.com sent us some stuff and chocolate covered gummy bears are back. And you guys went insane. Explain yourself. There were also mangoes. Explain yourself. There's also mangoes. I grabbed them earlier to have a little snack.

Took them in the office. I had some. Gracie had one and went, nope. And then when you asked about them, she brought them back from the office just to get them out of here. It presented them like it was a trophy. Because, well, she said she threw them away. Or you said she threw them away.

She threw away one, the one that she bit. Not the whole bag. See, that's the impression I was under. That would be insane. It would, but also, mind you, then, if you get into my head, I assumed these came out of the trash, and I went, that's fine with me, and I started eating them. No!

She said, I threw them away, and I went, you better go get them. And then she came back with the whole bag, and I thought, well, she threw the bag away. But then I'm going to say, who the fuck do you think you are Throwing away a bag of mangoes from nuts.com I also want to say You're allowed to throw away the one you bit Even though you're insane

Because it's nothing but high quality ingredients And treats from nuts.com Just so everyone knows We already ate the food from Face Jam And also have eaten a cookie Actually I didn't eat that yet. I'm gonna try to get this over to Nick. That's my trash. Look, I'll eat it

as I just stated. I don't care where it comes from. Catch, Nick! Yeah, that was a catch, Michael. So then we're eating chocolate-covered gummy bears and now mangoes. The mangoes are fucking good. I know they're good. You get so much bang for your buck when you sponsor with Face Jam because if we love your product, we'll talk about it.

Michael keeps buying Shady Rays. Shady Rays, I'm pretty sure I got these back for free. Oh, did you? I got them for free. Oh, thank God. Yeah, I went through the company because I was desperate. But I got two more pairs. Oh, my God.

I need a pair. These are amazing. Yeah, you should ask Nick. Borrow his. Yeah, you can borrow Nick's pair. Everyone else does. I'd give you one, Gracie. I only have like six. And I will say, he's

going to go through those pretty fast. They'll all be in the ocean tomorrow. They're going to keep me fed. The nuts.com mangoes are so fucking good. Yeah, I don't know what your problem is. This also isn't an ad or anything. We just happened to get it

and open it today. It should have been. Well, somebody didn't open it today. That's right. Somebody opened it yesterday. But we don't know who. But again, we don't know who. Yeah, we don't know anything about it.

It was like I heard some sort of Robin Hood situation where they were running through the halls going, have you tried chocolate gummy bears? Try these. They came out of Eric's mail. Is this a Larry Gremlin situation?

I mean, he was involved. Uh-huh. You think he'd turn down some chocolate gummy bears? Hell no. He probably never had them, but he would never turn them down. No, I also don't think Larry would turn down chocolate-covered gummy bears or anything. What was his thoughts on them? As far as you know.

He loved them is what I heard. Allegedly. Sucks. You seem to be in a good mood about it. as far as you know he loved him is what I heard allegedly sucks he seemed to be in a good mood about it that's it we're done I'm about to read the haiku

because I feel like Eric's about to say Jordan why didn't you read the haiku we talked about pot belly a place we've never been to

we actually haven't we can go out of order but sure we've never talked we've never like talked about pot haven't. We can go out of order. We've never talked about Potbelly Rintz. I think it's pronounced Portbelly. No, it's not Portbelly. That's what I heard someone saying.

Portbelly. I'm funny. This is a weird one. I'm weird every day Is it Is it the fire? Did the fire fire you up? The fire

Definitely helped Oh yeah? It made me weird This is This is so thick He's got a fire in his belly The cookie's a lot of cookie No that guy sucks

Yeah I'm better than him Oh okay It's a reference to an anime Where I fight that character Gotcha Oh okay Yeah you didn't know that Yeah I never No I didn. It's a reference to an anime where I fight that character. Gotcha. Oh, okay. Yeah, you didn't know that. Yeah, I never. I know he didn't.

What's your favorite anime? Never really watched Speed Racer. Oh. I like Huckleberry Hound. I never watched Tron. That's the one you're in, right? Tron. Only the live action though. I got recast. I got recast in the anime. Makes sense. Makes sense. You guys ever been to Potbelly before? Nope.

I don't think I've... I think I've had it, but I've never been there. I've heard the word Potbelly in relation to a restaurant named that. That's about all I know about it. I didn't even know it was sandwiches. Potbelly usually is like a little fat belly. I think it's a little stove. That's why I had heard the word in other contexts.

I wanted to make it clear that I heard it in the context of a restaurant. Yeah, so pot belly is just a sandwich shop. I don't think there's anything that when you think of pot belly you go, oh, it's like this or it's like Quiznos. I hope that's not one of the facts. Don't ever. I've

been in there one time now. Don't ever compare it to Quiznos. No, what I'm saying is Subway is everywhere. Quiznos is the one that toasted their subs. Not everyone does it. But that's what you think of with that. I don't know what you think of with Potbelly. Firehouse Subs is the one that Fireman started.

Decent shakes, too. That's what he thinks about Potbelly. That's how you describe it to someone. And good soup. And good soup. Good soup. So then, I mean, she loved it. It's kind of like you're getting with the soup. And good soup. Good soup. So then, I mean, she loved it. It's kind of like you're getting with the soup.

You're going near Panera Bread, but it's certainly not like Panera Bread. No, Panera Bread sucks. Panera's gone downhill. I don't like Panera. Really? Yeah, I don't like Panera at all. It used to be a thing that, like, didn't feel like it was very expensive. And you could just, like, it's near somebody's apartment in college.

And you go, like, no, that's fine. It's, like like it's lunch and we got a study and cheese yeah it's it's that and so you'd be like that's not that expensive now it feels like it's more expensive and it fucking sucks shit yeah i never really wanted to talk trash on jersey mics because because i know a jersey my jersey michael yeah and um also new jersey michael i remember you being a big fan of that place and we used to go there all the time because we worked really close to one at our old office location and stuff. I got so sick at that Jersey Mike's once that I'd never go back. Oh, I didn't know that. I'll never have Jersey Mike's again.

I mean, they don't really do limited food. I don't care how many Danny DeVitos they put in their commercials. Even if they put two Danny DeVitos in it? They could stack two Danny DeVitos on top of each other to make one normal-sized human. I will not eat it. What if Jersey Mike's pays me to do an ad? You wouldn't do it for me? He's a New Jersey Mike.

And I'd go, what if the billboard was me going, come on, the Jersey Mike's. I'm Jersey Mike. Come on, Jordan. Yeah, what if the billboard said, come on, Jordan? Come on. You won't get sick, I think. One, depends on how that's spelled. Okay.

And two. Oh, they misspelled come on, Jordan, and now it's a real, oh, this is not good. We got to take this one down. I can't believe they spelled it Jordan. I don't know if spelled it Jordan again. I don't know if everyone knows that story, but one time we went to a convention and there was a banner with all our names on it. And the first thing I always look at is like, did they spell my last name right? They did.

They did. Miraculously. And then I looked at my first name like, wait a minute. How'd they fuck this up? Instead of Jordan, it was Jordan. J-O-R-D-O-N. You could be called Jordanitello. That's pretty cool.

Any jammers out there with a bun in the oven, you could name your kid Jordanitello. And then you'd be Jordanitello. Jordan, for short. That's awesome. Someone goes their whole life going through Jordan, but their legal name is Jordan Donatello.

Dumbest thing ever. That's something a jammer would do. Absolutely. I would go to Jersey Mike's if you, Jersey Mike, were, like, leading the charge to, like, some sort of paid campaign to get me there. Oh, hell yeah. I would crumble for that. Crumble. Because then I could just be like, oh, I'm not going to Jersey Mike's.

I'm going with Jersey Mike's. Whoa! Gracie, you've eaten here a lot? Yeah, I used to eat there a lot in college. There's one right across the street from campus in Austin. I wish I went to college so I could eat at places during college.

There are specific places that I ate at during college that I like don't eat at anymore. Yeah, I don't go to Fog Valley anymore. Can I tell you? Spaghetti Factory in Fullerton? Yeah.

Yeah, absolutely. Can I tell you? It's a train station, bud. Far more often and maybe not in the word often but ever if someone's like back in college XYZ

couldn't give a rat's fucking asshole about like I missed out on the experience. Yeah. Or at the parties. It's like remember in college, X, Y, Z, couldn't give a rat's fucking asshole about like, I missed out on the experience. Yeah. Or at the parties. It's like, remember when we would get lunch and go, college food sounds cool. Yeah.

I wish I ate dog shit garbage food when I was in college. I was doing it by myself. I was doing it, but not with anyone else. I was doing it with a bunch of guys that were in their 30s and I was only in my early 20s. Yeah. And then I put on my headset. I put on my headset. I was getting an education, but like a different kind.

There's just specific restaurants that like I don't. Cece's Pizza is a place that I ate at a lot in college because it was $5. Why do you still go? I don't. Because it's $5, Michael. I'm not him. Nick pointed it out last week and was like, we gotta go. I don't. Because it's $5, Michael. I'm not him.

Nick pointed it out last week and was like, we gotta go. He did say we gotta go and we all went, no we don't. I think we all just looked at it and looked back ahead like we didn't hear him. Well, he always does that too on the way to the restaurant we're already going to. You're like a fucking toddler in the car

like, ooh, ooh, me see new thing. Me want new thing. We're like, we're not at the old thing yet. He said, ooh, ooh, me see new thing. We want new thing. We're like, we're not at the old thing yet. He said, ooh, ooh, so you'd look at him. Everyone was looking. We could record an episode there. We already did Cece's pizza and did record an episode there. Why?

Why would we go in there and record? Because it's such a bustling atmosphere. It's a buffet. We got down to it. We've got to keep eating. People like Nick is why they changed all you can eat to all you care to eat. Yeah, absolutely. Don't eat all you can.

You will die. Okay. I have something really crazy to say that I'm not proud of. What? All right, let's hear it. I went to CeCe's last night. Yeah, but look. What the fuck right, let's hear it. I went to CeCe's last night. Yeah! But look.

What the fuck, Gracie? Whose birthday was it? Okay, long, not really a long story. I was at Target with my roommate, and we both, it was like 8 p.m., we were like, oh, what are we going to do for dinner? And then we saw the sign that was like, oh, Mondays and Tuesdays, $5, and we were like, well. I'm not nearly as repulsed as the rest of the individuals here.

I'm 27 years older than you I expect you to go to CC's Pizza I don't expect Nick to go there when Eric's talking about college it wasn't last year okay that's true you know what great point

absolutely right out of college I would have been going to CC's Pizza it's not wrong I'm putting you on the level of Nick and the rest of us and I shouldn't be doing that she's got this job a year out of college, I would have been going to CC pizza. It's not wrong. I'm putting you on the level of Nick and the rest of us, and I shouldn't be doing that. She's got this job a year out of college. Come on, it's budget-friendly for a post-grad. Exactly, yeah. Give me some slack. Oh my god.

Nick said that he likes Potbelly because his son really likes the peanut butter and jelly sandwich there. And I was like, that seems like he'd like it anywhere. That's kind of what I said, but also he was like, Oh, I'm just glad he likes something. You know, he likes a food.

So sometimes you can be picky or go, can't you like easily just fake a peanut butter and set peanut butter and jelly sandwich and say that you got it from pot belly. And then it goes, that would trick him, but it wouldn't trick me. I want to go eat at Potbelly. So I can eat too.

He won't trick his child. He'll go to Potbelly to buy his kid a peanut butter and jelly so that way he can get the rack or whatever fucking thing. Also, for sure, there's no way his kid would fall for that. They know.

If they latch on to something long enough, they're just like For sure, there's no way his kid would fall for that. They know. Oh, yeah? Do kids know? If they latch on to something long enough, they're just like. They can tell the difference. You just go, well, there's a time you get away with with your kid where you're like, hey, you know that thing that just happened? It didn't happen. And they're like, whoa, it didn't? Yeah.

Then one day you go, hey. He used to race it. Yeah. And then one day you go, hey. It's like, oh, you're going to take me to the park today. Oh, that wasn't today. Yes, it was. What the fuck?

Uh-oh. You're like, uh-oh. What else do you remember? Yeah. Then you're done. Yeah. Then it's not, we'll go later. It's, I'm sorry, we can't go.

Okay, I'm sorry. I'll tell you we'll go later, but you'll never stop asking. You won't forget. You won't just forget. Remember when you used to forget? Now I'm held accountable. I'm held accountable. I'm held accountable. It's outrageous.

Why would the Democrats do this? It's outrageous. I'm trying to Jim Jordan this thing, and here we are. And they're shutting down Congress again. Ugh. Ugh. I like when that guy didn't vote for Jim Jordan and somebody was on a hot mic and they just said dumbass.

It was the Fox News host that was showing the live coverage. Oh, is that who said it? Oh, that's so funny. Fucking hell. I liked how he was like, oh man, 20 people voted against me? Alright, I'll wait till tomorrow.

I'll rally my troops, see if I can get some people. Vote again. 22? One guy voted for his friend as a joke. Oh, was that the one vote from some guy from Michigan or something? And then he was talking about it, and he was like, why'd you vote for him? I was like, because I hate him, and the speaker's the worst job you could want. Oh, my God.

And then I had to clarify, like, I was just kidding. I'm friends with him. It was a joke. But it's like, no, but really, I did vote for him, though. That part was not a joke. That part was serious. Oh, yeah. The part about the job fucking sucking ass, that was serious.

I just actually still like the guy. I just like, you know, he only got one vote. Jesus Christ. He was 216 short. Yeah. He's almost there. Him and Jim Jordan are tied. They're both losing. I don't know. He starts sending people vote. Jesus Christ. He was 216 short. Yeah, he's almost there. Him and Jim Jordan are tied. They're both losing.

I don't know. He starts sending people's wives some emails. He might have three votes by tomorrow. Your husband. He will never be able to vote for Jim. There wasn't some sort of, I don't know, quarterback from the Denver Broncos nominated. Where it's like, yeah, because then he'll be in Congress and he won't be stinking up the season.

Yeah, dang that. Oh, Russell Wilson. Oh, what's the haiku? Get Sean Payton. What if enough Congressmen and women, as they were, did that as a joke and accidentally voted for the same person? Oh, no. Peyton Manning is the speaker.

218 votes. Oh, no. I thought we were all just doing it as a... Oh, no. Oh, no. Hey, could have been worse. Could have been Eli. He was on the Giants.

That's right. Look at you. Look at Michael. Sports guy Michael. That's it. That's a Jersey Mike right there. All right. Can we see what sports reference do you have?

None. All right. Her face just got horrified. I was really on the spot you know how you have nightmares about going to school as a quiz

it's a different show it was like that I just happen to make the dude tomorrow oh do you oh no I'm gonna get to here's the haiku

what do not look directly At the bright sandwich eclipse Eat with your eyes closed I forgot that that was what this was about Yeah Yeah, and I've just reminded everyone You sure did

At the time this comes out It'll have been two weeks From the eclipse that not everyone could see Yes Did you seize it? I did Did you look at it? I did. Did you look at it?

I looked at it with my normal eyes, and then I looked at it with dark glasses. I did it too. Yeah? Yeah. What'd you think? Harder to see with your regular eyes on. Harder to see, but I did it. Me as well. Yeah.

Gracie went out and looked directly at the sun, but not as a joke. I forgot it was happening, so I was like, what the hell is happening out here? I looked up and I was like, oh. Same exact thing happened. I was like, what the hell is happening out here? I looked up and I was like, oh. Same exact thing happened to me. You were like, why is the lighting so weird? I was in my backyard doing, because it was on the weekend. I don't remember what day, but it was the weekend. Saturday, October 14th.

I was doing some chores in the backyard. It got bright early. It got bright early. And I was like, whatever. I went inside for a little bit. I came back outside, and I went, what the fuck? And I started looking around, and I went back in, and I was like, whatever. I went inside for a little bit. I came back outside, and I went, what the fuck? And I started looking around, and I went back in, and I was like, Lindsay, is something weird going on, or are my eyes fucked up?

I don't, because we were in like a real dark room forever, and I was like, is this movie theater eyeballs? I was like, I feel like it shouldn't have gotten darker since 9 a.m. And Lindsay walks outside, I was like, oh shit, the eclipse. And I immediately, my neck snapped up. Right to the side. I looked right at it, and I'm like, yeah, I think, oh shit, that's the moon. There it is.

A bunch of stable geniuses over here. What was real cool was all the little crescent shadows it was making everywhere. That was cool. Like every leaf from every tree. It looked like ruby. Yeah. It did. Yeah.

Whoa, the ruby moon. That was promotional. He actually fired that up in front of the. Good job. It was a moon shaped satellite fired that up in front of the... Good job. It was a moon-shaped satellite. Is that for the Justice League thing? No, that's for the new Sun spinoff. Oh, that's good.

That's smart. Black Sun. Whoa! Black old Sun. I don't think we're going to sing that. We hear you, you copy right. Yeah. Chris Cornell's going to get us.

Actually, he's dead. You can sing it. I liked his Casino Royale song. The. We hear you. Copyright. Yeah. Chris Cornell's gonna get us. Actually, he's dead. You can sing it. I liked his Casino Royale song. The rights die with you. I think that one's underrated. The rights die tonight! I'm still sweating. It's warm in here.

I have an internal sweat. Yeah. It's warm in here. Well, what happens is... I did turn it up to 73 where we're going. Wow. It's just like a sweater. Yeah, it's insane.

And I'm freezing. It's part of the like I think this is how an engine works or something We're like that we ate the hot Yeah, and then Gracie made it hot and then I kept shaking it and so now it's kind of like stuck in a loop And I'm just like bouncing off of walls forever Yeah, little laser beams bouncing around in a cube forever and ever that they can't get out of. Except into the microphone. Oh. Now you know

why the intro makes sense. Is that how fishing works? Yeah. Gone fishing. Whoa. Guys, I think we should end the episode. No way. We're not even on the pork belly. Pork belly.

Pork belly. What the fuck? Learn about pot belly. They should be called pork belly and sell pork belly. Pork belly by pork belly. Doesn't make any sense. Someone wrinkled my paper. Someone.

The same person that stole the gummy bears. And we're going to find the motherfucker and get it. When we do, he's gonna be speaker. When we find the motherfucker and get it, we're all gonna vote for him. We're gonna punish this sick bastard by making him eat every single last chocolate gummy bear there is, and then we'll feed him the mangoes. That'll teach him a lesson.

Pot Belly Facts. Since opening its first shop in Chicago 1977, Pot Belly has expanded to neighborhoods across the country with approximately 427 shops in the United States, including approximately 67 franchised shops in the United States. Fact provided by Pot Belly press release regarding second fiscal quarter 2023. That's where the fact came from.

That's hilarious. Yeah. I mean, nothing funny about it. It's a fact. Why did you need... Why do you need facts about the facts? 427 is pretty close to 420. And 67 franchise shops is pretty close to 69.

If you take some of the 427 and put it to the 67, you're really getting somewhere there. If you take... And then you have five left over. Yeah, and then you all have them vote for McCarthy again. But they do it as a joke.

You have... No, the McCarthy votes weren't a joke. It's... Now, he only has five votes, but remember, Jim Jordan only started with 99. It's true. McCarthy could get his way back

to that 217 if he wants to. He's climbing. When Jim Jones throws in the towel... Jim Jones. Jim Jones Jones throws in the towel, uh, Jim Jones. Jim Jones already threw in the towel. Oh man. Potbelly Sandwich Shop actually started as an antique store in Chicago six years before becoming a sandwich shop. Owner Peter Hastings sold antiques but would make sandwiches for patrons on an old potbelly stove,

which inspired the turn toward food. This is like going to Home Depot only for the hot dog cart out front, and it becomes so popular that normal Home Depot goes out of business, and they just sell hot dogs, but it still smells like sawdust. Gross.

Frowny face. That would be gross. Does sawdust smell gross? I think when you're getting hot dogs, it does. In proximity to food, I think it would be unpleasant. And speaking of smells, Potbelly... Oh, yeah? ...has a smell

that I... A store, you mean? Right, yeah. When we went inside, it smelled good. Oh, okay. Real quick, Nick just held up Hot Depot. That's what, yeah. Definitely. That was great.

That was worth it. Yeah, that was worth it. They can't all be winners. And they're not. I was going to say, I'm waiting for one. Oh, you've made us so sad. Yeah, come on. He's had a few.

There's one side that we... The one about the ship was good. There's one that we made The thumbnail that just says Nanobots That just happens It's pretty good Yeah it smells It smells good

Yeah It smells like food Yeah Right Unlike Subway God yeah Yeah so it's like The anti-Subway smell

It's comforting Yeah where it makes you Want to eat there Instead of Get out as fast as possible Right And you can't escape it Because it's on your clothes forever now. Also, I know we're still on the facts, but the people working there were very nice. And when we ordered the food...

I'm good at their jobs. They like, yeah. Instead of Subway going, what do you want on this? And you go, oh, just the way it comes. And they go, what the fuck did you say to me? How did you spell that? said you ordered this this is what comes standard on it is there anything you want to change or anything you want to add and we all went this is just what we wanted we wanted the way god made it and she said okay just so you know these are all the things that we have but we can just do don't worry about what's going on out there yeah great oh god

great um so it was uh it was people very competent at their job making a very good sandwich. It really slam dunked on all the people that said, you have to know how to make the sandwich when you go to Subway. Yeah. It's your responsibility as the customer. How rude of you to walk into Subway

and not know what you want. I do know what I want. The promotional sandwich you're selling, you should know how to make it. Yeah. And not from memory. I'm sure you got a piece of paper back there.

Fucking Google it. I don't know. You work here. I don't. I was very impressed. It smelled good. Everyone was nice. Did you also notice how we came in and they were like, hi, would you like to buy something? They noticed us. Spoke to us. Helped us.

That was a real rare experience. It's very rare to get all three. It's not even like, it feels like a very boomer thing to be like, oh, finally some customer service. Yeah, like that kind of thing. The fast food restaurant, ugh. It's new boomer. Yeah, we walked in and 12 people weren't

standing around confused waiting for orders as the employees just looked at the ground and didn't talk to anybody. Yes, none was like oh this is the way things should be yeah it would be great if that's the way things were but also like it to me it was just like oh that was nice and that's it right it was oh wow it was everything let me i'm not gonna go make a facebook post about it no everything was nice and level-headed until you ordered the cookies. Then things got aggressive. What happened?

They sure did. Now someone's already defensive. Uh-huh. All right, so Eric grabs five of the s'mores cookies. They have the cookies out, and I say, we'll also take five of the s'mores cookies. And Nick, who had already been talking about the peppers that they had. Talking about everything he saw. Right, yeah. Oh, this is good. Oh, this is good. Oh, I keep the

peppers here. Oh, look, they're on sale. What if we got them? I'm going home later. Yeah, it says bring it home. That's where I'm headed. So, Nick, or Eric gets the cookies and Nick just under his breath, you're goddamn right.

That's absolutely how he said it too. To the point I was like. And then Jordan said, calm down. Goddamn right. It was either, I don't know if it was either he was saying it like to you or that you got them or the cookies and they're going to be eaten. And he's repeating himself now.

I was hungry. I was hung. Wait, I was hangry, but also you can tell it wasn't hungry because he wasn't ashen. He wasn't great. That was scary. But also he's like unwell on that day. Also his,

I was hungry. You're getting a sandwich. Yes. That's the food. This is the dessert. I was hangry. doesn't make any sense. He also said all I've eaten today is a protein bar and I said me too.

And that was it. That was the end of the conversation. Imagine if Eric ordered the sandwiches and she said sure I'll have that right out. And Eric then said you're god damn right. Nick just has a sign that says, I eat a lot. We know!

We know! Everyone knows. Everyone fucking knows. The number one thing about this show, not just with the audience being like, whoa, who knew? Nick. It's people that work here. Yeah. Time and time again that like, you know, this is going to blow your mind. People in FaceJam

or people outside of FaceJam don't genuinely go, I listen to every single episode. So when they see Nick and his element of what he's doing, they're like, what? He's been doing this for like four fucking years, okay? Don't ask questions. This is who he is. This is him. He used to hide it because

he didn't have an outlet for it. But the thing is, he still does, just not on this show. Right. So other people do shows with him where he's normal or somewhat normal. On F*** Face, he was voted most regular guy. Right. But I mean, that's on F*** Face. Yeah, exactly.

Exactly. That was offensive because I was there that day. Gracie, this might come as a shock to you. Oh, man. Oh, we should get a shock to you. Oh, man. Oh, we should get back to more facts. Oh, is that what we were doing? Pot bellies foul! They have a foul. Yep. Colon.

They'll move you through any line in eight minutes. Max. Did that happen for us? It's more likely that we had a weird interaction at the counter with a guy who wants to play cat or gun That's not at all what happened Not now we know why he was singing its praises because he knew he was gonna be wrong and he wanted to get ahead of it Yeah, exactly

And now we can hammer him for it No, he's hammering himself Can't hammer me Can't hammer me if I hammer myself first Yeah, they were, I feel like they were, they protested this, what you wrote here. Yeah. I think maybe it leaked

Supreme Court styles. And they went, we're gonna be the nicest motherfuckers ever to this little rat piece of shit. Because Norm, we were about to spit in his face. But now, we're gonna make him look like a fool because his fact sheet leaked. Must have been what happened.

In 2019, Potbelly sued two former IT managers for receiving tens of thousands of dollars in kickbacks from communications company, uh, Nitell, Nitell, to quote, steer Potbelly's telecommunication business to Nitell at inflated rates that cost Potbelly hundreds of thousands of dollars. This all culminated in Potbelly leaving a RICO, racketeer-influenced and corrupt organizations, charge at the former employees, but it was dismissed. Rudy Giuliani is still facing 13 charges in a Rico case involving 19 defendants. That doesn't have anything to do

with Potbelly. Just want to remind you what's up with America's mayor. And he continues to melt. He is melting. I love that Potbelly was so mad about what happened to them. They invoked RICO charges. Right, yeah.

The thing they get the mob for. Yeah, exactly. They went, well, this was created in the 80s and the 90s to get the mafia out of New York. To get John Gotti. Yeah, and so here's what we're doing as a sandwich shop. These IT guys have to go. That's what I'm going to do.

I'm going to level that against Dante here at work. I'm going to get him on a Rico case. I don't know what for yet. I'm still putting it together. Rudy Giuliani style. So when I get hit with a Rico case first, you'll know that it was all part of a plan. You can't Rico me. I'm Ricoing you.

That's right. Wait a second. I think what you're doing, conspiring to level Rico charges against someone, that could be a Rico charge, Eric. Dante, don't Rico me. And guess what? You've been served. No!

If I run away and I don't take it, that means I'm not served definitely and surely. This is wild. This last fact is crazy. Potbelly took out $10 million in PPP loans. Then, when everyone found out and got mad at them, returned it all. Quote, we were surprised and disappointed when the fund was quickly exhausted, leaving many without help, Potbelly said in a statement Saturday. Quote, we are returning the PPP loan after further clarification from the Treasury Department.

Anyway, have you gotten around to setting up your student loan repayments yet? Oh, we thought there'd be more.

Yeah, Gracie, how's that going? Not good. Oh, no. Oh, no. Well, you should be eating at CC's. Yeah.

A little too classy to you. Bro, it's... Oh, no. You should be eating at CC's. A little too classy to you. Bro, it's Jover. Sorry, Biden. He was gonna... He's pro-union, and he's gonna shut down you having to repay your loans. And anyway,

he made those train workers get right back to work and set up your payments, idiot. Bro, it's so Jover that yeah someone some brain dead idiot to put an i did that joe biden sticker on their computer screen as they're setting up their repayment loan options. There's got to be people who listen to this show who are leaning

more right and going like, I hate the Face Jam talks about politics. I love Biden. Guys are nuts. This shit's so funny. Guys are nuts.com. Wait, no you're not. N nuts.com. Wait. No, you're not. Nuts.com is good.

Slam. It's also, it's fun because I like laughing at it all. It's so funny to laugh and point at it. And I go, goodbye, 401k. Yeah, no kidding. All right. I'll do my best when I'm destitute later. Yo, this speaker nonsense is fucking funny.

Oh, it's down how much more today? Shit. Fuck. In the toilet. Vote for Jim Jordan. Yo, this speaker nonsense is fucking funny. Oh, it's down. How much more today? Shit. Fuck! In the toilet. Vote for Jim Jordan! You guys didn't put all your money- This affects the stock market? Oh, you guys didn't put all your 401k in Northrop Grumman?

Come on! You could do that? Oh, no! You have to get through all of the safety nets to do that. They really try to change your mind. Are you sure? Are you sure? Those are the facts.

Those are the facts. That's all of them. You learn a lot about pop-up. How long have we been going? I can't see the timer. 36 minutes. We should probably just get into the press material. I feel like we had a little bit of a...

Let me see. Spitting silly. Fuck around a little bit if you want. want yeah we should get into the fucking around part of this i feel like we got into that around fact three yeah we really that is rare for us to get right in the middle of something and talk about and it's just it's a little bit rare but also that i wasn't involved yeah because i'm usually the one to stop and just tell a tale. We talked about, we talked about like the restaurant in the middle of it. That was,

that's the craziest thing of all. We never do that. That's great. Well, it was nice and it made you look stupid. So we had to. Well, I don't know about that. I don't think so.

Yeah, you wrote down how bad and dumb it would be. No, no. I asked, hey, I'm just asking questions. I guess it's something we should be aware of because I know we're a food podcast,

but like, I don't want to, I don't want to talk about the food too much. No, no, not too much. Because then we're like a food podcast. Yeah, boo. Like, you know, when you start doing it ironically all the time, then, like, you're not doing it ironically. You're just doing it. We can do social clips to, like, just get to the rating real quick

for all the people that just want that. We can just make, like like a two minute video just the people that want like the cut down meat of face jams I just want the moist brisket give me 90 seconds of just here's what I ate and here's what

I think boom package it sell it we're rich I can tell this guy has listened to this show before cause you're just you're getting to Because you're getting to the brisket. Yeah. Well, you're getting to the reason for sure that people listen to this podcast. Guys, 45 minutes sounds great, but I feel like you could do it in two. Remember when this podcast was 45 minutes? Remember it was supposed to be half an hour?

I think it was once. Oh, speaking of this podcast not ending until we're done talking about everything we want to talk about, let's talk about the Michael Jordan pumpkin. Oh, that's right. Oh, yeah. Biggest in the world. We did it. I think it was the world.

I don't know. We did it. I saw it, rejoiced, and then got so angry. And I went, man, if this was called the Michael Jordan podcast, we'd be getting so much pumpkin attention right now. Imagine all the overspill. It'd be people going, no, this is a basketball podcast. No, this is a pumpkin podcast. Why are they eating at Port Belly?

We don't know. It's not calling it that. Sydney Page from the Washington Post. Michael Jordan is officially the heaviest pumpkin on earth. Whoa! On earth. What a thing to say. I love that. Heaviest pumpkin on earth. Whoa! On earth. What a thing to say. I love that.

Heaviest, not biggest. That's okay. It's got a... It's thick. What's this? That's Michael Jordan holding a pumpkin. That's not what I wanted. Oh, I know what you're talking about. But he's holding it like a basketball.

What are you talking about? He's gripping it. He's got like Spider-Man fingers. Is this who you're talking about? Oh, that's... That looks like Michael Jordan. That's less cool. That looks like us. It's got like Spider-Man fingers. Is this who you're talking about? That looks like Michael Jordan. That looks like us. It's an ugly fucking pumpkin.

It looks like shit. It looks like ass shit. It looks like a toy after my dog fucking destroys it. Well, now I don't want to say what I was going to say. Oh, I do. Go ahead. It looks like Nick when he's hungry. Yeah!

Get him. It was mostly about the color It's a very pale orange Can we get a couple of Snickers in the office? We need to keep a couple of Snickers in the office He went huh And then I looked over at him And he had a big smile And he said yes

There reaches a point where I think Maybe we should just stop Like both for the audience They're sick of it And us encouraging Nick We should stop just going Okay here's what he just did next Because it's like how you describe

A toddler to someone Like you're not going to believe What my kid did next You're never going to believe What our monkey man did Please shut up what our monkey man did. Please shut up about the monkey man. It just maybe tickles us more than anybody else.

We're going, you're not going to. And then he said, I want it. And then we laugh and laugh and laugh. It's still funny to me. Maybe it shouldn't be. We're kind of doing what we said we wouldn't do, which was give him attention. That's true. And encourage him.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Putting him in the mask, the whole reason was to make sure his head doesn't get too big so he doesn't become arrogant. Here's the thing. You're right about that, but we can't argue that we didn't ride his fat head to success.

We've got a bunch of extra shows now. We didn't ride his Michael Jordan's pumpkin-sized head. We got all these shopping channel streams all on the backs of his head. His big fat head. I heard. What'd you hear? And you can edit this out. Okay.

We might get a morning show. Whoa. Maybe. No way we will. I like that you kept asking and he wouldn't answer you. You were like, hey, how'd it go? And he didn't reply. And then someone else said something.

And then he replied to that. I'm waiting to hear back about when we can do this stuff. Hey, cool. How about that other thing? That made me laugh. I didn't ask for an answer. I asked, how did it go? Silence.

It went well. It's like, it's fine. There's no answer on anything. I'm going to look it up. I'm just saying. And I'm going to tell you,, we never once talked about it, but I saw it. I went, oh, we're just not going to answer Jordan?

Just going to skip that and answer Nick in the next Slack? Bold. Here comes Jordan. Why won't you answer me? Where the fuck is it? Yeah, he can't find it. They're both on their phones looking for it. I think Eric's trying to delete it right now.

I don't know what you're talking about. Don't worry, they're backed up somewhere. Warner Brothers has all the answers. Anyway. He's still looking. Let's, um... Okay. Let's learn about the food.

Nah, Nick can cut this down. Or not. No, no, no. We can learn about the food. When Jordan stops looking, I'll move on. Because he hasn't quit yet. I almost got it. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

, No, No, No, No, I'm curious, Nick. I'm also curious how it went. So it wasn't Eric. It was Nick. It was fine. Oh, I thought he was in there. No, it went fine. Don't worry about it.

Worry about it later. Okay, now I'm going to look. What's funny is that Nick was responding to a message from 30 minutes before that and three minutes after I messaged. Yes. So it was like he got a notification and was like, I don't care about that. This though, we can talk about this a little bit.

It springs to mind, you gotta just blurt it out. That's what threads are for. Dude, threads are so pick and choose. Sometimes you use them, sometimes you don't. If the train's already left the station, you can't start a thread now. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. Three people talking, it's too late for a thread.

You gotta be first to the thread if I'm gonna give a shit. If I see something and I'm gonna reply to it, and there's like three replies on a thread, I gotta reply on the thread. Right. If there's no reply, I don't give a shit. Yep, I'll just type it. I've seen people try to get it under control and start threading off of one of the random messages. Nope. Out of spite, I will not. Yeah, too late. Yeah. It's too late.

Oh, let's learn about the food. Pandora's box is open. Pot belly ring of fire sandwich. All natural grilled chicken, roasted red peppers, cheddar, our signature hot pepper ranch, and yellow bird ghost pepper hot sauce. Just like the woman who worked there told us. Yeah, she did. She nailed it.

She went through all that. What a good job she did. She did a great job. Just like you thought. Mm-hmm. Just like you knew was going to us. Yeah, she did. She nailed it. She went through all that. What a good job she did. She did a great job. Just like you thought. Well, just like you knew was going to happen. Yeah, exactly. She's asking questions. We delivered another great quarter for Potbelly. And as a result,

our team's hard work and commitment to our unique brand. Oh, as a result of For a second there, I thought they were stupid. During the second quarter, we grew same-store sales by 12.9%, driven mainly by traffic growth. Cars driving into your building? Continued to take traffic share from the fast-casual category each week

through the quarter, grew shop- level margins by 300 basis points. You're not even mentioning all the semicolons throughout this. They're all, it's all semicolons. Every time I pause, it's a semicolon. And signed incremental development deals, bringing our total shop development commitments to 106 shops to date. Period. We're encouraged by the progress we've made and continue to focus on execution as we build toward achieving our 2024 growth objectives there wasn't a press release for

the sandwich um what are you talking about that was it yeah i i got it what do you guys think if you had to guess what do you think is more important traffic growth or traffic share from fast casual category why don't they say... What is traffic? I don't know that I can even answer that. Is it just customers? They're both vitally important. Is it because it's not like a car where you only make a purchase of it every once in a while?

Like every 10 years or so? So market share is more important, but traffic share is something that is more like... You know, say you eat three meals a day, you go to three different places. Is that what traffic share is? What about all the shop levels? That's what I want to know. Are you talking about the 300 basis points that they've raped the shop levels on? Yeah.

And I hope that. And how do I increase mine by 300 basis points? Yeah, I would like some incremental development on my shop development shop total. This isn't. Eric, you go to meetings. This isn't English. What's our total shop development commitments? This isn't English,, you go to meetings. What's our total shop development commitments? This isn't English, but the problem is it's written in English.

It's confounding. I wish it was another language. It's one of those videos where people go like, this is how English sounds to people who speak other languages. And then you go, and then you say, this is how English sounds to people who live in America, because that's how we talk.

This is robot talk. Did you get this quote from the same quote that's from the first fact? Yeah. Yeah, it's the press release. Did Gracie make it hotter in here? Is it 75? Yeah, Gracie turned it up. Oh, my God.

Yeah. But that's the press material in the sandwich. What did you guys think of it? Pot belly, a new one for us. Never eaten there, never been. I don't think any of us have ever been, except Gracie who lives there. But none of us have ever been to pot belly, period. We're really eating it.

Even though, for me, and we talked about this a lot when we were eating it, it was a little bit on the spicy side. Uh-huh. Okay. Let's talk about that for a second. Okay. It was a little on the spicy side. But was it? Did you feel like it was spicy?

He's still dying. Yeah, he's... It's not from the spice. It's like if a match starts a forest fire, it's not because the match had the power of the forest fire. It was just the igniter, and then I ran with it, and it's now my organs are inflamed. If only your floor was wet. Yeah, I'm spiraling.

But the spice was a catalyst. It wasn't a drag assault. I would say it was spicy, yes. Okay. To me, it was. Gracie, was this a spicy sandwich? I did not think so. What did you think so. So.

What did you think? I thought that the last bite that I had was pretty hot, but the rest of it had like a nice, hang on. The rest of it had a fine heat level. I think there's something wrong with Gracie. Really? I think so too. I think she just has like no taste buds or something. Because I don't know that I would also, I don't know that I would say that it's a spicy sandwich, but I would describe it to other people

who I know don't like spicy food at all. I'd be like, yeah, this had some heat to it. It had like a tingle, but I would never be like, whoo! It had more than that. Yeah, I don't think it was a tingle. Your mouth is dead. Because what I said was,

because Jordan's like, ah, this might be too hot for me. And I was like, I feel like a spice rat, it doesn't matter how hot it is to you. Yes. It matters. Or I should say, not that you don't feel the heat. You do feel the heat and you go, that's what I want. You enjoy it. Or I can handle it or whatever.

Grace is going, I taste nothing. Yeah. I feel nothing. Yes. Because I'm going, I feel like you should. You'd be like, oh oh this isn't hot enough for me but to go

nothing I was eating it and there was a nice heat level that I was really enjoying that last bite was like whoa everything's like right here

at the end see but you're at a higher level for sure than me I probably was at that last bite the whole sandwich oh see now

like it really wasn't cooking me but now with this monster over here but then Gracie going like I'm the second spiciest mouse in the room now. The only way I can explain it, and this is how I get most levels figured out in my brain. Goku Dragon Ball Z power arcs.

Okay. So I'm like Saiyan Saga before he fights Nappa and Vegeta. Gracie, don't remember all of this. I feel like, Michael, you're training on your way to Namek. Goku. I think you're pretty strong. You're going to go beat up

Raccoon when you get there. Get out of here. But you're not going to kill him. And you know what? I think Jace has a cool accent. He's from space Australia Yep, he sure is What's the little toad guy's name?

Gouldo Oh, yeah, okay, that's good He stops time That was good, I was gonna say Greenlow I was about to go Greenblow Eric, I would say is Hmm You're kind of on the level of when he's fighting Android 19.

Uh-huh, uh-huh. Whoa! Yeah, but like... But then he has heart problems. Yeah. So... Then he gets taken out. The main character of the show.

Who just became super powered in the last... Yeah. Oh, fuck! Yeah. How do we nerf this guy? Heart disease That's not really like That's not to say like

You're gonna like plateau or something I'm concerned about your health You're just resting in bed right now Going ah 27 episodes Even after you took the fucking medicine Why won't the medicine work Why wouldn't it work?

Why didn't he take it when he got it? Because he waits until he gets sick Just like you don't get a COVID vaccine Until you get COVID That's right When I'm on the bed and I go give me the vaccine He goes in the future we already have a cure for this And he goes cure for what?

I was worried about those pills expiring Anyway Now this is where it gets a little great a cure for this. And he goes, cure for what? I was worried about those pills expiring. Anyway, now this is where it gets a little great. I don't know what level Gracie and Nick are at. Oh, they're unknowns. Okay, here's the thing. Because if we're at the start of the Android saga, we're well into Dragon Ball Super with these two.

Yeah. Like, I have no idea. Like, are you Super Saiyan? That's a large leap, though, Jordan. It is, but we're not even at Super Saiyan 2 yet, and you're putting him in Super? Here's where I think it lands. If Gracie doesn't even taste the heat here. I think Gracie is Super Saiyan Level 1,

because it is, I think that it's very powerful. What the fuck does that mean? Not Super Saiyan Blue. It's just called Super Saiyan. I know. Level 1. That's what you're at. Level 1.

I am not turning over. I have the ability, but not turning Super Saiyan. I know. Level one. That's what you're at. Level one. I am not turning over. I have the ability, but not turning Super Saiyan. Gracie is permanently Super Saiyan. Oh, so you're like the ascended past the Super Saiyan. You're like when their hair is kind of white. Yeah, and they're able to maintain it. And Nick is Krillin.

I mean, isn't Krillin the strongest human on earth that's great he's like the tallest dog in the world I'm just saying I wish you were the tallest dog in the world I wish I knew what the hell you were talking about you know

oh man you gotta watch it don't watch Kai you need to watch the original all the filler's important. All of the birds and forest shops are vital to understanding the narrative.

When Goku and Piccolo get their driver's license, important episode. Bro, they say... It's a spitting silly episode where we explain it all to Gracie. No, we just watch it. That's what we watch instead of whatever movie. Here's how I... Here, we just watch it. That's what we watch instead of whatever movie. Here's how I,

here's where I see it. It's Del Taco hot sauces. Mild, hot, Del Scorcho. Woo. Now, see, that's insulting.

I'm not a mild. You add a fourth sauce and I'll be the second one. Okay. What are you out of Taco Bell sauces? Fire. Okay. But it's Taco Bell.

I like the hot, but I know I'm a white man. I'm a whitey that never ate spicy food growing up. Yes, I'm white. I'm ashamed to say it, but it's true. These are the cards I was dealt. My family had no spice

ever. Very brave of you to admit. Do you like spice now? Yes, I've trained myself on spice starting with the spicy chicken sandwich. It's like he went in the... You're on your way to NAMM-ing. Yeah, he's training on high gravity spice levels. Getting you forces fucked.

So what would you rate this sandwich? I thought it was really good. I do think it was pushing me to my limit, but you know... Sometimes you can bust out on higher. You were getting a little pink. He's definitely training in the weighted clothes, but it's not doing what it needs to yet. Yeah, I need to take off my clothes. He's going to have some weighted pants soon. This thing runs its way through his system.

I'll tell you this, though. You can definitely tell they use quality ingredients. Yeah. And I thought it tasted really good. And boy, was it a ring of fire. So I'm going to rate it pretty high here. I think it's an 85. Wow.

Wow. Okay. Quality. You can taste. Jordan says things like that, buzzwords a lot. I know he's paid by Super Packs. Yes, it's true. Yeah, he's paid by super packs this was definitely true yeah he's

this is a 12.9 increase driven mainly by pepper growth uh i as you know here i'm no one's puppet on face yes okay i'm not tied to any super packs you're a puppet they it's real food it tastes like real food whoa it's like that's straight like real food. That's straight from Jersey Mike himself. That's straight from the guy that's going to get Jordan to go back to my sandwich shop. That chicken was real good. The bread was real good. It was a fucking delicious sandwich. That is like a real... It's a little unfair to throw this in the category of the food we eat.

I feel like this was sit-down level good. And I'm not talking about Fridays. Uh, right. Like, that is, that's like, that's still slop food disguised in a sit-down restaurant. This could earn an actual restaurant that I would sit down and eat in. Uh, 92. Wow.

It was, I took one bite, and I was upset I didn't get the big size. You wanted to get the tiny size 88.5 It's very good A lot of times I like something And you go would you get it And I say absolutely not Cause I just won't be bothered or whatever I'd go there again to eat food

We got 5 sandwiches 5 s'mores cookies And tax and tip. And it was about $65, right around. $12 a person or something. Yeah, which isn't insane. It's not cheap. No, we got a foot-long sandwich.

I ate half, and I feel very satisfied. I am going to, yes, I'm going to go insane mode on that thing later. Because when it sits and, like, hangs out. Oh, yeah, when I'm going to go insane mode on that thing later. Because when it sits and like... When you start ripping? Hangs out. Oh, yeah. When I'm gripping and ripping. And I'm going to go crazy mode.

It's going to be a good ass sandwich. Crazy little rat. I'm a spice rat and it has a nice heat over to it. He's going to eat it over his sink. Yep. No, that'll be the pepperoncinis that I eat later when I pick them out with my fingers. Hey, by the way, I want to thank you for like letting me be a rat.

Oh yeah? I got to be a rat. Which I only assume means somehow it fell through from you. Because I went, how is this not Eric? And they're like, I don't worry about it. When were you being a rat? I was a little rat man guy for Pasta Pete's show. When was that? I don't know. I'm just telling you, they had a little rat man.

They went, you be this little rat man. Were you somebody else? And I went, that's Eric. And they were kind of shocked at me saying it. I'm going, look, any rodent comes past me, that's Eric. And they were like, no, don't worry about it. And I was like, I'm scabbing on him. I scabbed my way to a little rat.

Dude, you're fucking scabbers? I got to be a rat. You're a little scabbers to a rat? Now Ibed my way into a rat. Dude, you're fucking scabbers? I got to be a rat. You're a little scabbers to a rat? Now I'm gonna get a rat tattoo. No! Yeah.

But I'm gonna get a tattoo of your arm with the tattoo. So I'm just gonna get your whole arm and then have your tattoo real tiny on it. That is very funny.

My wife will love it. Uh-huh. All right, let's snack attack. Let's get a snack. This is from Ryda7? That's a car. Oh, Raida.

Like Raider or Radar. Not Raida, whatever. You could have read all that on your inside. Hi, fellas! From the Northern Territory in Australia, I bring you my absolute favorite beef jerky. Okay.

This is a sample pack. Original hot and flaming hot. Here's what I was literally about to say. Just don't tell me it's hot as fuck. There it is. The front says spicy and not spicy smiley face. It comes in big bags too

where each piece is three by nine. It's bloody good to just gnaw on for half an hour. That sounds like a Nick thing to do That sounds tough You can cut up into smaller pieces One piece Now I know Michael's especially generally on the moist end of the meat snack scale

So fair warning This is not so dry it's like boot leather This is much more like the consistency of tree bark You'll need to chew it a bit That sounds worse. To really get the flavor when your saliva's there. I have shoe leathers. You're so welcome.

Is what they say. Oh boy. So, there's a tote bag. Tote! It's the tiniest little tote I've ever seen. That is a baby tote. It's like a lunchbox. All right.

Territory jerky. Whoa. This is from the northern... Are they from Darwin? I don't know. That's the only northern Australian city I know. Uh, Alice Springs, northern territory. I didn't even know northern territory was a fucking place.

Okay, there's a koozie. It says northern territory. So you know it's a place. Flamin' hot. Oh, it is like tree bark. Whoa, boy. That's what they said. Hot, original.

Gracie should try the hot one. Some temporary tattoos? I guess it's a sticker. It's a sticker. Okay. It's permanent if you try hard enough. You can put it above your wrap. All right.

You want to try the Flamin' Hot, Gracie? You want to get into it? You want to tell us that doesn't have taste? Yeah. Okay. Here's the original. Then we'll know for sure if you're Super Saiyan God, Super Saiyan. Maybe she's Oob.

Oh. Oob. No, I'm just kidding. Oob sucks. What a bozo. You were really cool. Real wasted character. But also, we like Majin Buu, so we'll keep him around somehow. Right, for some reason.

You were one guy, but now you're two guys. Holy fucking shit, I think I just broke my teeth. Mm-hmm. I feel like I'm eating wood chips from the fire. How are you saying this isn't dry like whatever you said, but it is hell incarnate? I don't know. It's good. It's good.

It's decent flavor. Yeah. I have to suck on this forever. I don't know if the flavor is worth all the work we got to do. It's like put it in your teeth, in the middle of your mouth, and do suck suck. I'm gonna try the hot. Gracie and Nick are trying the flaming hot. This isn't hot at all.

Guys, if you're playing a trick on Jordan, it worked because he's about to take it. You wanna try the hot? There's zero heat. It's the only way I'll know for sure. There's zero in there too. How old is this? No, this is new. I got this not too long ago. But maybe he had it for 10 years before he sent it to you.

Best buy next year. Yeah, next year. It tastes good. I hate the consistency. It is not hot. There's absolutely no spice. No, you're right. There is no spice.

Even on the Flamin' Hot. None. Guys, am I Goku Super Saiyan? No. No, you're not. Take another bite of his. No, do I win? Training!

Honestly, you're being like a Yamcha right now. We're like... I got it, guys. Let me fight this Saibaman. Honestly, I want you to do this and be like... Maybe you're just having fun playing baseball. He likes baseball. It's true. He was on fucking minor league baseball.

Was he minor league? How the fuck was he not major league? I don't know. That doesn't make any sense. The guy can fly. I want you... That's true. I want you to eat the Flamin' Hot. Think you're really strong.

Go to T22 and eat the really hot chicken and then you die like Chow said. I died for nothing. Most people died for nothing in that show. I want to try that

chicken. It was cool. I do want to see Gracie watch Krillin blow up. Yeah. Help me! It's so horrific. Help me! That is like the most He's literally screaming, help me.

Help me! That is like the most gruesome death in the show. He fucking explodes. He explodes. The Mega64 version of that where we just put a firecracker inside Krillin and hold him up by fishing line is so fucking funny. Help me! How horrific. It was not heroic in any way.

It wasn't like, I'll sacrifice, man. Yeah. Help me! Fucking blow up. You're dead. All right, what do you rate the territory jerky? It's not for me, man. The flavor is fine.

I think it's still chewing it. You have to suck on it forever. But it's like, man. This isn't how I like to enjoy jerky. By the time I swallow it, it's the consistency I wanted it to start with. Like soft and a little bit mushy. What would you possibly put a sticker this big on your car? My truck.

Let me see. My F-350. Oh, a little pavement princess? It's white. Oh, I can barely even see it. It's white. It just says territory turkey. I'd put it on my chicken to confuse the fuck out of people.

I'm giving this a 48. Okay. Dude, I was going to give it... I'd put it on my chicken to confuse the fuck out of people. I'm giving this a 48. Okay. Dude, I was going to say 50. Okay. I'll say 50. Average of 49. Um, I don't think it's bad. It's just not the jerky that we dig.

Yeah. It's just not my style. And honestly, I was really hoping for some crazy heat. Yeah. Yeah, that I will say, like, whatever. They warned us about the consistency. Yeah. It's like...

In a lot of ways, Australians are the anti-British people, so I was expecting some actual spice. Oh, I thought, yeah, I thought they were, they're crazy fucking not so, so I figured they would be, you know, really going for it. Hey, if you want to send us snacks, you can. You send them to Face Jam Care of Eric Bedore, 1901 East 51st Street,
