I'm your host, Michael Jones, alongside my coach, Jordan Swears.
Jordan, how are you?
Interesting.
I'm feeling pretty good.
Eric, Eric.
Guys, you cannot out clap me.
Don't get in a clap long.
Wait, but when we get it together?
You get like 100 tries.
catch up. Wow. Can't out clap
me, son. If you haven't turned off the episode.
If you're in your car going,
where's the round of a pause? Is this a live episode?
If you're in the car going, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
bang, bang, bang, bye. You may be
getting shot at. You're just driving,
you near where it's clapping, you're like, what the fuck?
You pull over.
It's like one battle laugh or another, man.
Doing, doing a blown out,
tire sound.
Yeah.
Yeah.
on the highway.
Why not?
Today we're reviewing
Torchie's Taco, the Ronan Taco.
We got the
I guess this is their October monthly.
Yeah, special.
Taco of the month.
Torchie's Taco does a taco every month,
most of them, not good.
When is the last time you went and got
the Taco of the Month from Dolanth?
The only time I get the Taco the Month
is, like, I'll go out of my way, is the Rosco,
which is their, the Chicken Waffle
Taco, it's good as shit, and they usually
give your own little thing of a syrup.
There are some that they like bring
back around from year to year.
Like they had one.
But most of them are,
it's like the standard to be like,
all right,
put 80 things in it.
This had a lot.
And a bunch of cabbage,
cabbage swat.
Yeah.
And pickled onions.
Sometimes they go for concept over like,
mint.
It's,
yeah,
it's mostly concept.
I usually get one or two
of the tacos of the month a year.
And that's about it.
Because I'm always excited.
Like, oh,
what is it?
I don't want any of that shit.
Right.
You look at it and like,
a new month.
The calendar flips over and you're like,
All right, time to check out what it is.
I can't wait to go to Torches.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Try again in 30 days.
You know,
when we worked right there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I go to Torchis all the time.
There's one thing.
Eric put it in Best Koso and Austin.
That's what I heard.
His favorite.
What's yours?
Let him know.
Yeah.
Tweet at him.
Just him.
Boy, that's been happening for regulation shit lately.
People are like, what about this?
And it's like,
and like, what are you talking?
Like, why would you send this to me?
Man, they really are the funny fan base.
God damn.
They're way.
funnier than we are.
I know.
They should make this show. Oh, he's clapping again.
You should have the regulation fans make this show.
Yeah.
They should just replace us.
Finally.
I was going to say there was one that they used to do called the Skarkrow and that I think
was like a chicken tender.
Oh, really?
Yeah, but it was bredded with pumpkin seeds.
And then it had some other stuff.
I really liked that one.
That's crazy.
That one always stuck out to me is one I really liked.
But I also don't go to Torses very much anymore.
No, which is crazy because, again, it's an Austin thing or whatever.
It doesn't feel like it as much anymore.
Not anymore, because they have over 100 locations.
Oh!
There's a lot of locations.
Isn't that crazy?
They crack tripped digs?
Mm-hmm.
Damn.
Yeah, they cracked tripped digs.
They tracked cryptids?
What?
That's Red Web.
Go ahead.
It's Alfredo.
Yorktown Memorial Hospital.
Send him back.
Send him back.
It's his center.
Yeah.
They just went back.
They, uh, the torchies locations, they've expanded sort of outward or whatever, and I think that, I mean, if you talk to people who would eat their, like, years ago, oh, yeah, it was so much better way back, whatever, but it's like.
Is it Jack?
Are you talking to Jack?
Yeah.
And it's just like, I don't think, like, do you think the quality's dipped?
No, I don't think so.
It's kind of hard to tell.
Because they've been in this kind of like version of them for so long.
You would have to go back like 10 years.
or more to, like, get a different version of parties.
And I remember the first time I had it was, like, out of the original trailer on, like, First Street or wherever it is.
And, like, then they only had, like, they only had, like, four or five tacos.
Yeah, yeah.
And they were all, like, they were called the Democrat and the Republican.
Back when that was a smart decision.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They still get them talking?
Oh, fuck, they're talking too much.
They're talking too much.
And they still have them on there.
They do.
It takes one, though.
You know, I got to admit, though, between the two of them,
I think the Republican tastes better.
Yeah.
As we always knew.
Yeah.
I still think the best taco they have there is the ranch hand.
That's what Nick.
The ranch is the best taco.
That was Nick's bonus taco today.
It's their fajita meat with egg and cheese.
It's the fucking make it Diablo sauce, make it trashy.
They serve breakfast, quote unquote, all day.
Which we were just talking about, not enough places do.
Yep.
Yeah.
They used to have the Ace of Spade.
on the secret menu
I don't think they have it
anymore which is outrageous
because that was
fucking awesome
you order
you order on a big iPad now
yeah
again it's been a while
since we've been
didn't we do that
what for an episode
Ace of Spades
yeah probably
probably for a spit and silly
we probably got one
it was when they had
it was like a
taco and a half
yeah
because they used two
flyer tortilla
and it had everything
dude
had like brisket
sausage
fucking cheese
egg
that fucker was messy
but it was so good
yeah you order
you order from an iPad
now and when you order alcohol
because you can order alcohol from the thing
an employee has to come over putting in like
the access code and it's really weird because she
did not. She just did it? Yeah, she like didn't look at my
idea or anything. It wasn't like at Nutsbury
farm where she was like, are you sure
this is you? Yeah. And your age is
and your name? Uh huh. No, they
just give him a glancery.
It was weird. Old man, humanoid
form. This guy's made a chocolate. He's good.
Half chocolate. He's got a chocolate back.
Have cookie. Oh no. He's throwing
his phone. He's getting too... That's new.
Where's your whiteboard?
That's a new phone. Be careful.
Dude, making the title the last episode, are you being stupid?
I was, by the way.
We finally know.
It's fantastic.
Are you tricky me? Are you stupid?
You know, you see it, you hear it, and it comes from all different directions.
Colorful of me, Nick.
Yeah. But we ordered, uh, we earned a couple of drinks and we actually ate there, which was,
which was nice. We got some peso. Their Diablo sauce,
they're like bright orange Diablo sauce
it's hot
yeah it's fucking delicious
I like it's fucking
it's like relentless hot
it'll get your nose running
yeah it's really nice
I like it Jordan Diabba sauce thoughts
I've never tried it's probably too spicy
I've never I've never even dared
It is in the casso
It is you have to like mix it in
And that's why the casso is like a little bit of a kick
They dribble it in the casso a little bit
Well then it can't be that bad
Because I didn't notice it
It is
No I think I'm fine
Okay all right cool
No I think I can handle it
Give me.
Jordan can handle it.
Put him in the middle.
Tye.
It's a restaurant
that I know has a bunch
of locations.
It's closed a couple,
but largely it's on
its big expand still.
And I don't know.
No, you don't know.
Let's just leave it there.
And you stop talking.
Thank you.
I don't know, shut your mouth.
That's why you have one mouth and two ears.
I don't know what it's doing that warrants it.
Like if you're living in like,
if you're living like Louisville, Kentucky and it opened there.
Yeah, that's a big deal.
Is it?
No, I think so.
Yeah, Louisville?
Sure.
Were you going to get good?
Talking about Lowell.
Louisville.
You got it.
You got to say it like you got a mouthful of marbles or people, correct you,
Louisville.
I mean, it's so,
it's pretty specific.
It's a, it's a Tex-Mex taco chain.
And so you probably are,
you don't have a lot of.
choice there in an old
Wellville. Yeah. So I bet it would be
a pretty big deal. Now if you're telling me
we just opened one in Las Crucese
New Mexico, I would say
stiff competition. I like
I could see this. It seems just
like a restaurant that like this does well
in Dallas. Like of course it does well
in Dallas. They put one in the middle of the NASCAR track.
That was crazy. Me and Jordan
do like pit stops? Yeah.
Like they get tacos during the race. You do
you do the pit stop. You turn it.
You go, awesome. Let me get a rich in.
Yeah.
That'd be awesome, dude.
The passenger seat is just carved out and there's just like a fucking liquid queso vass.
You fucking dipping.
It's how they stir it.
It's good case, though, dude.
It's fucking good.
It's good and consistent.
It's up there with torches.
That is torches with Alamo draft house.
Oh, yeah.
Those are my two, like, they're real good chain queso place.
Oh, what did you guys get when you went to?
Yeah, we just went to Alamo.
Did you get, you got, I got the chips to Casso.
Yeah, you did.
You did.
I remember.
It was funny.
You got up to.
I assume, take a phone call.
Every movie I've been to with Michael, he goes and takes a phone call.
It's so weird.
Everyone wants to get a hold of Michael.
It's so weird.
And they brought your chips and queso.
And I was just kind of like...
You could have had some.
Yeah, you could have.
But I did.
I was working on my own food.
I'm going to allow it.
What did you get?
They had a special chicken sandwich, like a grilled chicken sandwich on Chabata.
Last time I went to Elmo was for the SpongeBob movie when Michael and I went with Gracie.
And I got a pizza and I, like, regretted it.
Oh, really?
Kind of like, on, like, on the outs with, like, Alamo's food.
And I was like, I got to try something else.
I got to try something different.
Why did you regret it?
Is it just like, it was saltier than usual?
Oh, oh.
So, like, the food wasn't, like, you felt like it wasn't very good.
Yeah, the pizza did you get.
The salt pizza?
Yeah.
With extra salt.
Yeah.
The humanoid pizza?
They're humanoid shape.
You have to watch.
He wasn't wrong.
You have to watch the ride along.
I didn't see you wrong.
You have to watch the ride along where I almost crashed the car because Nick
He's describing cookies like a fucking maniac.
He just slipped under way.
It really wasn't so much of like,
oh, that's such a crazy thing.
It's that Nick described a cookie as humanoid.
It's the craziest fucking way.
It was.
See, that's a better way to describe it than saying the humanoid cookies.
He could have said it's like a little cartoon character.
I couldn't remember if it was a cartoon or not.
It's a humanoid.
But then he, then we got closer to the house and he started backtracking on if it was
humanoid.
He kept going.
He kept going, maybe, it's people.
I was right.
Maybe, if I remember.
It was half chocolate, half cookie, all human.
All human.
Noid.
Chocolate-de-cats for people.
The Trader Joe's cookies.
That's right.
I remember that.
What did you get at Alamo when you went then?
If you didn't get pizza this time.
That was the-
He just told you, motherfucker.
He forgot.
It was the chicken, the chicken.
Right, right.
Was that all you got, though?
I also got the, I think I got the banana pudding.
Banana pudding.
He did get a pudding.
In a jar.
I spot it.
That's my new go-to dessert.
Oh, really?
That thing's pretty good.
Damn.
Yeah.
I got chips and queso and two pineapple tea punches.
Oh, nice.
I did see you go back for seconds.
Hell yeah.
Also, you had a one.
Dude, the server was like.
Totally weird thing going on an aloe at this one.
One, Michael's light was not working.
I think we confirmed it was not working.
Yeah, yeah.
He had to push the one next to me.
He had to push the one next to him to get someone to come.
Crazy.
But also they started this new mobile ordering thing.
Yes, before the previews start, there's a QR code
on like, like your seat.
Why?
And you order from the app.
Why?
I don't know.
It seems like mobile ordering during the movie would be better.
It just, none of it makes any sense.
Yeah.
I love the, the paper and pen.
You get to put the thing and that's it.
Here's how I do it.
I get there early.
I sit down, open up my phone, ticket is on display, and I wait for the person to come
around, check the ticket, give them my card to open a tab and order my first round
of stuff, and then anything else I use the card.
Right, because you're there early enough.
Right, yeah.
You don't have to write it down.
Michael's got a great knack for showing up just as the movie starts.
I do.
I've got it down.
I've got it down.
I'm not late.
I'm not late.
He's never late.
I texted him last time.
I was like, Jordan, tell him to hold the movie for me.
And I was like, uh, and then you showed up right as the movie.
I sat down and then it's like, no more talking.
George's like, you got this down.
Yeah, I was like, I'm actually crazy.
It's impressive.
It's impressive.
Last time I went, I saw one battle after another one with my
cousin. Right. And I got bailed on.
Yeah. It was awesome. And it was great. And it was worth it. And I got-
So Michael and I had to go see it to spite you. We did. Jordan, Jordan took me on a very
strange day. For 25 minutes of that movie or something else.
Jordan just going, Jordan kept looking over me going, do you like this? Do you like this?
Do you like this? The amount of times something weird would happen. And Michael,
I was like, oh my God.
I was also thinking it was weird. There was one point. I think it's the scene.
in the hotel room will just say
I did not know this movie was gonna be so
this movie goes for it in the first half hour
yeah it does dude
first half hour nuts
it's a fucking the rest of the movie
it's a movie movie it's a hard to explain but I was like
that's a movie it's really hard to explain
it's very hard to explain movie but I think people should see it
it's very good um I got the big thing of popcorn
and then they have bottomless coffee
so it was just like finish the cup
refill refill
should you be doing that at 3.45 p.m.
No, I had, I was, by the end of that movie, when there's a car chase.
Well, it's only a two hour and 40 minute movie.
Yeah, it's true.
When there's a car chase in that movie, I was white knuckling like I was in the car.
I mean, that, that scene is intense even without.
It's so good. It's so good.
I had four cups and I was just going, and then I went with my cousin.
I had two pineapple rum teas or whatever, and I was just like, let it ride.
Yeah, keep it going.
Go up the hill again.
My cousin.
move is the cookies. She
just gets the cookies. Those cookies are good.
She loves it. She had the
they have like the, I don't think all I almost
have it, but you can like swing
the little like arm stand
over. Yeah, those ones are
like the South Lamar. Yeah. Those are
the best ones. And so she just gets cookies
and she just swings them in front and then it is just like
do you feel like, and also
like the way the chairs lean back, they kind of
like, it's not just the legs. It also
kind of like yaws you back
too. So you're kind of like facing upward. And then you
put the train in front of you, you feel like you're in a
high chair. It is very, it is very
baby's movie time. Like, I like it. I like it. I like it a lot.
I'm kicking my little feet. And I like that movie. Yeah,
that movie was good. One battle after another is worth your time
because boy, it's a lot of time, but boy, it's worth it.
It's a lot of time and stick with it. If you're
finding the beginning weird, don't worry.
Man, where it goes and where it starts dropping you in
when you aren't ready for it is incredible.
It's incredible. I did think everybody was really good.
Like all the actors are good. I didn't even recommend.
Sean Penn.
No, I didn't know he was in the movie.
I only recognized Sean Penn immediately
because it's exactly what he looks like in the Charlie Sheen
documentary.
Oh, my God, I would not have known that was Sean Penn,
but he looks just like that.
I haven't seen Sean Penn in a movie in like 15 years.
So I was like, I was like, this guy looks a lot like Sean Penn.
But I'm not sure it's Sean Penn.
And it looks like Sean Penn when he does this the whole movie.
Yeah, it was like,
I was like, I didn't know.
I didn't know he.
I didn't know he was in this movie
And so when he shows up
They never showed him in the trailer
When he shows up at like the very beginning
I'm like oh what a cool little cameo
This is like his movie
I also thought he was gonna be a throwaway character
I'm like oh Paul Thomas Anderson
Like hey do you want to be in my movie
Like this will be fun
Yeah this Nick this is like his movie
It's fucking crazy
It's crazy
I think I think Leonardo DiCaprio is also really good
He's very good
In the middle way he's like super paranoid about everything
He plays it so well
But Benicio del Toro is like
is he like the best guy in the movie
he's like barely in it but he's so good
god he's awesome what a fun ass movie
really really good really long but worth it
oh let's go
I'll see it with you Nick
okay only the first 30 minutes
yeah I hate the rest
then you gotta leave
I watched the first 30 minutes
I was that with your cousin
fucking crazy she was like
what the fuck and I was like
I don't know it was nuts
fucking nuts
crazy
We walked out and talked about the movie
for probably like half an hour afterwards.
And she's like, I don't know
what I'm supposed to get from that movie.
And I went, me fucking neither.
But I can't stop thinking about it.
And it was a week ago and I can't stop thinking about it.
It was like, man, it was really crazy.
Paul Thomas Anderson, this did not feel like one of his movies
and it was fucking wacky.
That's what made me want to see it,
is that like just looking at the trailer,
it didn't feel like it was a PTA movie.
Not at all.
And I was like, I might be,
like cool with this one
because I feel like
his last couple
I've been
Lickers pizza
out in love
I know West loved it
I loved it
loved it
I was always
about Lickers
Fentum thread
was also kind of like
I didn't love fantasy
it's good
It's very good
Yeah it's good
It's good but like
Daniel Day Lewis
has a new movie coming out
this weekend
Yeah with his son
Yeah he wrote it
He wrote it with his son
and his son's directing it
And this is like his return to acting
But like this only
He wanted to hang out with his son
Yeah I think that's all it is
And so I don't think he's
It's him and Sean Bean, and like, that's it.
I saw Sean Beans in that, yeah.
Yeah, it's like, that's it.
It's pretty not Sean Bond.
That's what my wife said.
Seen Bean.
Hey, Michael.
I just started watching Golden Eye.
I never to finish it.
The movie?
Yeah.
Well, I watched, the world is not enough.
Oh, cool.
I mean, that's Jonathan.
No, that's Jonathan Price, right?
The world is not enough.
Die another day.
Which is Hallie Berry.
God, I can't remember any of the second.
Tomorrow is.
Golden Night.
blend together.
Yeah, I agree.
The Pierce Rosen ones are definitely like GoldenEye
and the rest of the movie.
It's GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies.
Tomorrow's not enough.
Tomorrow never dies is Jonathan.
That's the order.
Yeah.
One, two, three, four.
Yeah.
How are you liking GoldenEy?
How far did you get?
It's like 30 minutes.
Oh, yeah.
Have you seen it before?
Yeah, yeah.
It's like my favorite bonnet.
I finished.
World is not enough.
And then it was like too late to watch a whole movie
when I started GoldenEye.
And I got to the beginning with the sheen bean.
Oh, yeah.
For England, James.
For England, James.
I think, I think it's sold out, but I think they're showing Golden Eye at Alamo today.
Fuck you.
I was looking at movies last night.
Stop the podcast.
Yeah, hang on.
All right, hang on.
He's got to go see.
Just imagine if you're half an hour late for the movie.
Oh, you could just pick up right where you're just, it's just, it's like you just hit pause and it started again.
Yeah.
If they're not, if they've left like Monaco or whatever, like all that stuff is unimportant.
Do you think that it's your favorite golden, do you think it's your favorite Bond movie because of the game?
I think it's my favorite one because it's actually the first bond movie I watched.
Oh, really?

No.
What?
Yes.
Yeah.
There you go.
Our last Torchie's Tacos episode was June 22nd, 2021.
Wow. Wow.
We hit the Texas haughty.
It received an average rating of 77.5.
So it was a really long time since we've done Torchies because it's always like...
Well, was it, idiot?
Yeah.
Round the outside.
Round the outside.
Yes.
Twist the cable.
Twist the cable.
Because I think we've done some other stuff for, um, for Spitting Silly a while ago and everything.
But we haven't done like a full, full episode in like a long time for Torchies.
And they always have a taco the month, but none of them, none of them looked that interesting.
But as Michael said, Nick was putting in his lunch orders for this week in our new food slack channel.
Where Nick was just going, look at this one.
I don't want to eat this.
And look at this one.
Something called a witch's brew.
Yeah, he got all his emails.
Good.
I was for it.
I got the emails.
I was for it.
Yep, there you go.
So that's why we're doing this because it was a Nick pick.
Was it worth it, Nick?
Yes or no?
Yeah.
We got some drinks
I drank Nick's drink
Mm-hmm
The rest of it

Torchie's tacos

City Chiefs

Xavier Worthy
to launch the Torch the Defense

The Chiefs could use all the help they can get after going two and three so far this season
and having receiver Rashi Rice Rishi Rice serve a six-game suspension for causing a
multi-vehicle crash in Dallas while going 190 miles per hour guess the defense on the Central
Expressway was a little too tough for this guy probably in double coverage from a Subaru
and a minivan with a family inside idiot free four there was so he has a six
He's a six-game suspension for almost killing people in Dallas for going almost 120 miles an hour.
He has three, no, no, he had two third-degree felony, like charges for causing this accident.
The NFL said, well, this is, I mean, you're suspended.
And then Travis Kelsey was wearing a shirt featuring Rishi Rice that just said free four because he's suspended.
And it's like, he almost killed people.
No, maybe it was a promotion thing
with like a fast food
or like buy one
like really fast food
like fast food like fast food. Like fast food
like look at how fast he was doing
Dornash and he had to get in there.
You're telling me Rishit Rice was a
humanoid
half man
half cooking half chocolate
He almost became half man
half street
didn't Paul Walker do that?
Yeah
oh geez
oh fuck
he's kind of humanoid looking
We was
In a long day
In August of last year
Weird out nothing after that's gonna be funny
Yeah I bet it will be
In August of last year
The Austin City Council denied the request
By the South Congress Torchies
To continue to sell alcohol
Even though they are within 300 feet of the school
Honestly a black eye in the city of Austin
Now where are these kids gonna get a Mexican candy margarita
Or a sangria swirl rocks
Or a sucker punch
Or sucker punch
They're gonna turn to the streets
where they'll find even more diabolical alternatives
like a $25 Cadillac old-fashioned
from South Congress Hotel two blocks over
shaking my damn head, Austin City Council
make this right, let the children drink
this message brought to you by the campaign
for sauce monkey for Mary. He's a sauce monkey and I approve of this message.
He's a sauced monkey is what he is like.
Drink up.
So the kids drink.
The school is here. Let them drink.
They are diagonal.
Let him suckle. They don't eat a straw.
That's what I'm saying. Let him suck the drink
to the whole. So the kids got across the street to get to the torches.
diagonally crossed the street too, which is like
it's so far. Kids never go that direction.
Exactly. I've never once walked
diagonally. I've tried to make him.
He won't do it. They were grandfathered in.
They were allowed to sell alcohol, not during
school hours and
not during school activities. So, any
other time. And then the Austin City Council
said, you can't do this anymore. And then Torchis was like,
all right, then maybe we'll become a BYOB
establishment. And then the Austin
City Council member said, are you threatening
to close your location or go BYOB?
and the guy from Dorgy just said,
no threat, sir.
And it was like, okay,
I looked at the location.
I do like that kind of like raising the,
it's like, so what you're saying is you're,
bring it.
You're doing an ultimatum.
And if we say no, you will close.
Uh-huh.
I don't remember saying that.
I looked at the location.
It is directly diagonal across the street from a school.
Two blocks over are like four bars.
Like not even,
like it is like a block and a half.
Location, location.
Location.
It's fucking crazy.
It's crazy.
how close it is.
Crazy.
But you can't get drunk at a torches, but also...
I mean, you can.
Well, we can.
I'm pretty sure there was a canteena down the street from my elementary school.
I'm trying to remember.
Oh, yeah.
I think it was a block and a half over.
Yeah, that sounds right?
Yeah.
Yeah. Was that in Cerritos?
Yeah.
Yeah, it sounds like right.
Right there on the corner of Alondra and 166.
I think there was a convenience store and then it had a palm tree on it.
Hell yeah.
Something canteena.
And I always like, I wonder what that word means.
I wonder what that is.
And then you never went.
Could have been your spot.
At 12 years old, you could have walked right in.
Damn.
And they took it from you.
Everybody would have been like, whoa, this is cool.
They ripped it out of your fucking hands.
Oh, man.
Could I have had a candy margarita.
He was good.
It was good.
Do you like it?
I don't remember.
Hell yeah.
It all happened so fast.
My man.
Nick went, this is for you.
Eric was desperate to leave.
My man.
I know.
I couldn't believe you guys still had drinks.
I thought it was all gone.
In October of 2023,
a dozen men in Nazi paraphernalia
descended on a Fort Worth Torch's enchanted slogans.
When confronted, the men laughed.
How are you?
Well, good thing, this was an isolated incident.
Imagine if American History Acts was happening all day, every day,
everywhere around us, and we have to see it all the time,
and everyone is really brazen about it.
That would be so weird and crazy.
Sauce Monkey said he only saw the first half,
and we don't know what that means, or how to take it.
What the fuck?
Why'd you make us watch it again?
It's true. Eric was making his watch it last week.
He was. I wasn't here.
He said, get here. He's making his watch American History X.
I turned. That's when I was late.
We have a TV that has Tooby on it, and I like to put on Tooby, and then find movies with scenes that I like.
And American History X was like the first thing, like you turned on Tooby, and it's like American History X.
Like, oh, shit.
What was it today? It was a vampire movie?
Yeah, it was from Dust Till Dawn.
And it had, I have to watch the end where George Clooney says, they look like psychos.
They're vampires.
Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them.
I don't give a fuck how crazy they are.
I think that line sold the movie for me.
But American History X, I made Nick and Jordan watch the dinner table scene with Elliot Gould
where they talk about the Rodney King stuff.
And it's so tense and so fucking, like the movie is so good.
The most frustrating part about that is like, I probably watched that movie like, I don't
know, 18 years ago or whatever, and was like, wow, what a great examination of a bygone era.
Yep.
And now you watch that scene.
is not a thing we have to worry about.
You watch that scene again and you're like,
you could literally have this conversation and just change the days.
This is right now.
It is such a good scene and it's such a powerful movie that like I think more people
should see it, but I think that if people, I think if people saw it today, they would
take a lot of like the wrong ideas away from it.
Yeah, they don't really know like Edward Norton might be the bad guy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're trying to put it together and I just love the main character good,
right it's the main character
he has to be good he's the main character
he's real good when it's in black and
white like how aggressive it is and then
like it's in color and he's like changing his ways
and it's like man what a fucking cool movie
what a great concept and a cool movie
that you can just watch on Tooby
you just turn on Tooby
if your TV can connect to the internet you can watch it
how do you mean
What are we getting on Tooby?
Like us on Tooby
Yeah our Tooby show
What are we making a TV show? What should our Tooby show be?
I don't know.
I thought maybe we could do those, like, those dramas you're talking about.
The short dramas, the minute long things, Dr. Monkey.
And it's like, he's like...
Dr. Monkey, they're not going to make you.
Yeah.
And he's just...
Ooh!
You're right.
Oh.
You're right.
Up the penicillin.
Why didn't I think of that?
Nick had an idea for the Michael Jordan podcast that we can do today.
We'll...
No, no.
It's good.
We're going to walk down memory lane.
It's going to be a lot of fun.
Oh, no.
Is that what that plastic tarp is out there for?
Yeah, yeah.
I just need you to lay down and roll around in it for a while.
Yeah.
then someone's gonna blow my brains out.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, as long as you're wrapped up in it,
you should be fine, right?
We won't spoil it for you.
Cool.
Whoa.
Holy shit.
We got a bathtub.
Maybe I do want it spoiled for me.
Well, those are the facts.
You guys learn a lot about torches?
I learned a lot about Nazis.
Torchies.
Uh-huh.
Torchies and kids drinking.
Right.
Torch and Koso.
Well, that already knew.
Yeah, that's right, baby.
When we, when we ordered it,
because when you get the Koso,
it comes with,
a scoop of guacamole in it, like, boom, put it in the middle.
I always get it the way that it comes.
I've never had it without the guacamole and without the cilantro.
I might be a convert.
I think it's better the way that we had it today than any other time that I've had it.
I just, I can't do guac or cilantro.
Like, I think the cilantro is totally unnecessary.
Yeah, I kind of like the texture that gets added with the guacamole.
No, I get it.
The texture I'm okay with, it's the taste.
I really, I really don't know.
I didn't really notice a difference in the taste.
Yeah.
You're right.
It is like creamier with the guac.
Yeah.
So I think both is pretty good.
Yeah.
I can eat it with guac.
Solancho is unnecessary.
Yeah.
The cilantro is not really good.
It's never appropriate.
Yeah.
But even the guac, I can eat it, but I go like this, right?
I swirl it.
Yeah.
Because you got to swirl it in there.
And then I eat it and I go, mm-mm.
Yeah.
It's right at the end.
Yeah.
I get a little, like right at the end.
But I'll still keep eating.
Yeah.
That front-loaded cheese is still worth it.
Mm-hmm.
If there's some guac freaks, I'll let them have it.
It's good, and it's definitely a restaurant that wants you to come in and sit down and have a drink and eat some cases.
Oh, man, we ordered those drinks and the woman that worked there.
Yeah, I guess, I don't want to say waitress.
She wasn't waiting on that.
No, she's a bartender.
Yeah.
Oh, she was working behind the bar.
Okay, so she came out and it was only the first two drinks.
We all ordered a drink.
And she was like, yeah, or starting your Wednesday ride.
Yeah, we're like, I mean, I guess, yeah.
It's 1230.
I mean, this is actually, I'm continuing from my.
Sunday. Is it
Wednesday? All day.
Today is Wednesday, yeah. It's, uh, I just wanted
to have, my idea was we were having
Oh shit, we were supposed to do the, that
good morning from healthing yesterday. No, we did that.
We did? You were there.
And from everything I heard, you, you were
everything I heard, you did a great job. Yeah, no, you were
great. I tried. Uh-huh.
That'll be coming soon. You work with what you got.
Which isn't much.
Hey, look, look.
I did my best. I meant
myself.
And, and
I heard a.
I heard it was a...
What were they possibly expecting from you?
Yeah, what I mean?
Yeah, come on now.
I warned them.
I heard it was a really fun episode.
I heard it was a really fun episode
where Chris and Blaine could finally be on the same side.
They're like never on the same side.
Chris was saying that where it's like it's so rare.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Because they're always...
Chris and Clayton and their characters are never on the same thing.
It's always the guest.
Like Clayton is like with the guests and they're like against Chris.
I see.
And so Blaine, when I saw him, he was like,
it was cool because it was kind of like a three on one.
Yeah.
And the one I don't know if he knew.
what was happening.
Jordan played the role of Eric.
It's true. It's true.
No, it was really, it was actually really fun.
I liked leaning into that.
He actually sat there too.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
I like, they were like,
just like gravitated towards the sea
and I was like, that's fine.
He can.
Yeah, I like how they were like,
well, thanks for having us.
Thanks for being on.
I was like, yeah, thanks for being on.
Thanks for letting us be on your show at our office.
I think that might be coming out
either this week when this episode comes out
or next week.
We also did some other stuff with them.
Yeah, and a very cool behind the scenes video
that we'll be posting of pasta Pete
that we talked about in the eye long.
Yeah, when he got her three minutes early.
That's gonna be, 25 minutes late.
I decided, I'm just gonna put text over it.
That's gonna be the teaser.
Like, that's gonna be like the trailer
for like this thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because it's awesome.
He doesn't like talk.
He just, he's just his big smile.
And you just hear,
to ching, to jing.
Look what I'm doing.
Gracie
Was she showed the video
I said that immediately
I was like said it to Gracie
She send it immediately
I'll put it in the family
Everybody's everybody's jumping on this
Trambling except for Gracie
And she's pissed about
She's pissed on
Yeah she blew your jumps on
No net jumping
She's traveling for her stupid job
Yep yep yep yep
She was mad
She was
She was like
Everyone living my fucking dream
Before me
Living my dream
jumping up and down
That's all she wants
She's just a girl
But it's cool
We have some really cool stuff
Coming out with Good Morning From Hell
We have some stuff coming out
With Good Morning from Hell
Okay
I think all of it's good
I think I think one of the things
I don't know if it's cool
You know what I mean
Yeah Eric was there for none of it
I remember it well
I remember sitting in meetings where they went
So we're not going to release this
You needed to be there because we didn't
It's so many times in the commentary
we were like, I'm sure Eric would remember this.
Anyway, I'll do my...
I'm scrimmed, why isn't he here?
He's off watching battle after another.
I'll do my own commentary track.
Oh, okay.
I'll do my own commentary track.
On top of our patron.
Yeah.
You're on top of our commentary?
Yeah, yeah.
I'll listen to you guys and I'll fill in the blanks.
I'll just fill in the blanks when it happens.
Not a lot of blanks, buddy.
There was a bunch of stuff where like days after,
we're like, after we watched it, I was like,
that's why we did.
Like, it came back to me, like, after the fact.
It was like five years ago
It was a long time ago
It was hard to piece everything back together
And it was a really good idea
We didn't even I don't even think FaceTime
was around for a year yet at that point
We were pretty new
No you're right yeah
Because it was all from home
So it had to be 2020
Yes and and it was the time
Where it was like guys
Look at our podcast
Face Jam
We were like the golden child
Because they went like
Oh you can make something
It's like yeah
We hadn't thought about
Yeah. Then we made something successful and they were like, now we'll come in with all these terrible ideas.
Now that you've made a thing against our wishes and it turns out to be really good, we'll tell you what should be made.
That's right. The people who didn't come up with any of the idea for the show.
We're targeting this video to come out next week from this episode. And it'll be a series of videos.
Cool. We're talking about Grudge Knight. We'll have, we have the first one, right? And then they have the rest.
First one's on our channel.
Cool.
The next three will be on there.
Good, it's the most polished.
Yeah, it's the one that was done.
It's the biggest ass piece.
There was also another thing where we needed to get together to do the commentary.
We were thinking just for the last one, which was just a mess.
And so like there's like no post production on it.
No post production on it.
It's barely stitched together.
So it was like we should just talk over it and explain what it was.
And then it turned into we did commentary for all of them.
And it was even like in the beginning of the commentary is like, are we doing all of these?
Like it's us figuring it out.
It's like, okay.
okay, we'll do it, which I think ended up being the right move.
Jordan did not want to.
I was more worried about them hanging out because I knew the last one was like 45 or like 30 minutes or something.
And I was like, I was like, these guys got to do other stuff.
Yeah, I don't care about their schedule.
Boom.
It all worked out.
They want this shit or not.
Play ball.
It all worked out.
Okay, it was a draw.
Yep.
And speaking of some stuff that we have coming out soon on the 24th of October.
We're doing it.
We're announcing it now.
7 p.m. Central time.
Oh, I might be out of town.
Food court returns.

New look, new logo, new theme song, a big refresh, but it's the same show that you guys
just really enjoyed.
It will be.
You guys are going to watch it and be like, it took them this long?
It's all, we put everything.
into the set production
and removed all of the funny content.
That's right.
Oh, good night.

And that has a chat.
We have people that can call in.
It's fantastic.
And then we'll put it out later.
Sometimes by this in the bathroom.
Sometimes.
Could be at another wedding.
And then we'll put it up on YouTube at a later date.
I'll probably splitting it too because we do these.
It's like a little bit.
longer. So, uh, check it out. 24th, 7 p.m. Central time, uh, food court. We're so excited that it's
back. Tim's new cravable wraps are made for the times your boss said the what now? Or your
teacher mentions that thing I'm a bob. Need to pick me up. Snack back to reality with Tim's new
craveable wraps available in Chipotle or ranch. Plus tax at participating restaurants in Canada for
limited time. And we're also excited to try the Ronan, which was, let me know if this is what
it tasted like. Flame grilled terriaki steak. Uh-huh. Did you get that?
I got the steak.
Zesty Chipotle Slaw.
Okay.
Peanuts.
Got those.
This is Jordan aside for some reason.
And savory grilled onions.
You won't want to miss this.
There's also definitely more.
There's also.
There's so much more on it.
That's here.
Cilancho.
There's a guacamole sauce that I didn't get on mine.
There's at least like two or three more things on this thing.
Hey, you won't want to miss this.
The Ronin, on the sign.
Oh, Saracha, too.
Yes. Flame grilled terriaki steak
Chipotle slaw grilled onions
Coati hot cheese chopped peanuts
Soracha sauce avocado sauce
fresh mint served on a fresh flour tortilla
So four things. Yeah four things that they didn't
The saracha the avocado
sauce the cilantro
And the mint. The mint was so
The mint was out of nowhere
Dude it's it's like again
They've got they got good meats at torchies right
They have good fucking meat especially their steak
That's why I always get the ranch hand right
it's good. It's an expensive taco.
It's a Tex-Mex white person taco.
Right. You don't take people looking for an authentic
Mexican taco. You're not going to get
Torni Asada here. But like
if you want white people tacos
they're good at shit. They're
pricey, but they're good as fuck.
But every time they do a taco the month,
I feel like it's because they have so many
good options already. Like their menu is pretty fucking
big. They're like, what do we
do? They go way off the beaten town.
It's just them adding like 17
extra things like peanuts and mince.
and cabbage slaw
and this sauce
and that sauce
and it's just like
okay
but they're still just
like the meat
and the cheese
and they rarely
ever have anything else
like that's why
I like the Rosco
when they have that
because it's totally different
and it's not too much
it's like a chicken tender
on like a waffle
and then they give you a cereal
which is pretty high concept
yeah
but they pull it off
and it's just different
than they don't have that normally
yeah
eight or nine out of their tacos
of the month
is the same shit they always have
they just dump tons of extra
like sides and toppings. Why were there
so many fucking peanuts on this?
There was so many peanuts. Everything
was too many peanuts. It was just peanuts
it was so many. It was peanuts. It was peanuts
and it was peanuts. It was peanuts and mint.
You guys were dangerously close to reviewing this thing. I had
no idea. I talked to you off the edge. I had no idea was
terriaki. Yeah. No, neither did not
pick up. I didn't look at anything about it
because I wanted to just experience it blind.
And I really enjoyed my mint taco. They built my taco
sideways. Mine was too. Mine was
they were all like that. The tortilla is
elongated. Yeah. They put
all of the food instead of this way.
They put it this way. There was no
good way to fold. I had to like
fucking massage it to be normal. That's the other thing that I fucking hate about
Torchies. I will say I forgot about this.
Great. Now you got them. Go ahead. If you order it
to dine in, they don't fucking
wrap them and they put too much shit in it
for open face. I forgot. Usually even when I eat there, I'll order it to
go. And then stay. Because they will, yeah, because they
have to seal it in the
foil. They kind of make it into
a taco shape first. They make it into a taco where you can actually
close it. Whereas you get it there, they just go
fuck you. And they slap it on the table.
It's open. And I hate that. I hate that
shit. I don't give a fuck if it's like you get
extra ingredients. It's too much shit. There's always
one bite that ends up like
making all of their fall out. Yes.
It's just too much shit. Crazy. It's the same reason
I get like the bowl at
Chipotle. Because it's like, fuck it.
Just dump it all in a bowl and then they don't have to like
fold it into a taco.
That's a good idea
You paused like I was saying something
No no he's reading ahead
I'm totally on board with you on the
Okay
Here's what the press material
Sure
Quote
This is such an insane full circle moment for me
A dream come true
Because when I was at Texas A&M
I would save up my broke college kid money
To treat myself to Torjee's casso
And it was always a small joy
Says Browski
The quote is like
On the says.
Yes.
Huh?
And now I have my own Torchie's bowl.
It combines the harmonious beauties of Texan barbecue and the genius of Torchie and his tacos.
I love you, Torchie a man?
Is this Brittany Brosky?
Yes, it is.
So there was no press material for this specific taco.
Is Torchie a man?
I don't know.
Is that the genius of Torchie and his taco?
I love you, Torchie.
I mean, it's a possessive S.
It's the baby.
Baby is the Torchie.
The baby is the torch?
The devil?
yeah the little baby devil
that says
the hat
he makes the Torjee's
yeah not good
the hat that we made
that Michael is like I want the Torchies logo
but it's like the it's like the monkey
yeah instead yeah
because Torjee's slogan is damn good
and I think our hat says not good
yeah
it's like the monkey but he's a devil
it's so good that was a great one
that was a really good that's like the bad boy
adjacent thing where it just says bad kids
yeah it's fucking cool not good
not a good kid
hey there's another one oh cool
Does this one explain the one I just read?
Yeah, it does.
Well, you check it out.
Okay.
Quote, we're so damn excited to pair two Texas icons, says founder and chief innovation officer
Mike Ripka.
Well, that's not Torchy.
Let's face it, we know breakups are hard, but eating boring bowls is even harder.
That Torchies, we've always been a place where you can come be yourself.
Let your hair down and enjoy damn good food.
What's the far as that means?
I need more context.
I don't know.
I don't know.
the, again, the quote is fucked up
where it's, let's face it.
After Mike Ripka, there is another quote.
It's messed up.
Was somebody else talking?
As this is happening, he is writing a sign, but it has to be
backwards, so I know it's taking him so long.
And it says, Tito makes, Tito beverage,
Tito makes Tito's.
I love Tito and his drinks.
Again, most of those letters, pretty symmetrical.
I don't know. The T's and the O's.
All of T-O's is symmetrical.
I'm a really big fan.
His S's get so messed up.
Because when I ride them the other way, they're two.
He's writing two.
He's making twos.
Like Billy Madison makes his cursive z.
Because if you look at it over there, look at his essence.
They're just twos.
He just drew.
He can't figure out how to do it.
Can you make a cursive Z like
Billy Madison does in the movie.
Can you make a curse of Z, period?
He's just like Z, Z.
And he makes like an art and kind of just
goes, and he was ahead of his time.
We don't need that shit anymore.
Oh, man. That's true.
Not knowing handwriting.
I know how to write my own name.
That's about it.
Like seeing it on the screen is,
what's a capital P look like?
I forget that I can look over
and I can see what it really looks like.
It makes you look like a fucking crazy person.
It makes you look nuts.
It looks like only this.
Looks like a ransom note.
Well,
humanoid.
We have,
okay,
we have our review
of Torchis,
but we need to hear from you.
And in a segment,
we call you review.
You review.
I'll take the first one.
Okay,
this is from Michael Sarah.
That's what I was thinking of the same thing.
Michael C.
Still upset about
not being cast as Lex Luther
and then Jesse Eisenberg lost it anyway.
Never gotten a response,
comma,
on why I got food poisoning

Oh my god.
Let me see, let me see. He attached the...

Vomint in the parking lot.
Threw up in the Georgie's parking lot 20 minutes late.
I don't think it's Torchy's fault, dude.
I think whatever you...
I think whatever you ate about six hours before that.
I think you might be in...
He got the cilantro.
He got the cilantro.
He's got that gene that makes it taste like soap.
Too many peanuts.
He took a picture of his vomit and posted it on milk.
Yeah, well, they won't answer them.
Well, what won't they answer them about?
He never got a response on why I got food poisoning an establishment, never got a response on why I got food poisoning at his establishment.
Why would the restaurant, first of all, why post it twice?
Second of all, why would the restaurant ever tell you?
Why would they ever respond?
Oh, you got us.
The clue was actually rubbing his balls inside the...
We were trying this new thing where we put E. coli and all our food.
We wanted to see what would happen.
Honestly, you were the guy, you drew the, like, the unlucky raffle ticket.
We had to make you sick.
It was like the equivalent of getting like the ugly straw at Dutch Bros.
Oh, that's right.
Forget about their code.
Yeah, we just put a little epicac syrup in your food.
Enjoy it.
That would make him throw up in 25 minutes.
That would make him throw up in about two minutes.
I still
I still been wanting to do that to Eric one day
Put Epicac in his drink
Yeah and then he could see a little piss cup
He could text us and be like
Still haven't got an answer
Why
Yelp.com
Here's one from J
J-A-E-S
J-S says
The hostess should make it a lot
less obvious when she is greeting
and taking people's orders
differently based on their race
Won't elaborate
further because she knows exactly
what she did. The difference
was stark and she should be ashamed
of herself. What
the fuck? Won't elaborate further.
Won't provide a single example.
That'll show them. She knows what she did.
This girl's so fucked.
What?
The fuck?
Again, not really the
place to be
airing these grievances. That's what you
think. You got to get on Yelp
post pictures of your vomit and say it was
recently perfect. I will not elaborate
further. Here is a picture of my
throw up, though. I also threw
up. I casually
dressed up like a Ronan to order the
Ronan Taco. And I always looked
to be weird. I approached
the ordering person and said
Konichiwa. I was met with stunt
silence. I gave a full
fluent Japanese has done it again.
I gave a full deep bow
and it was not reciprocated.
And then I realized that this was
some sort of Gaigin, and I went,
oh, go in and they sigh.
I looked at the waitress
with disgust and muttered,
Baga.
Such is the way of the
Ronan.
Anyway, I think Jeremy Redder would not appreciate
his service. And that's Tom
Cruz, last samurai. And thus, I sheathed
my sword once again to
leave the restaurant hungry.
And go,
home to watch Roroni Kinshan.
Here's a picture of my vomit.
I should not have been racially profiled.
Like a year ago or so, they rebooted it.
What, Reroni Kension?
Which one was that?
Reverse blade. That was the dude with the red hair,
the X on his face. No, he's right, reverse blade.
What is reverse blade? It's a vampire trying to kill vampire hunters?
No, he's like a murderous samurai sword.
He'll kill like 100 million trillion people, but now he's the way of peace and he just
waxed the shit out of people with like the blunt side of his blade.
He's got a reverse blade.
He's like, curses to never kill again.
His blade's reversed and the sharp side that should be sharp.
It just knocks you on your asses.
Now I understand.
Reverse blade.
If somebody tells me it's reverse blade, I assume that it's vampires.
No, no, no.
It's going after a vampire hunter.
Yeah, it's reverse.
It's Bradley Cooper.
The exact opposite of Wesley Snipes?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
It is what it is, you know.
One more review.
One more review from MJM.
I had a lot of shouting.
Terrible management!
We tried placing an order multiple times on the app,
but it was giving errors,
and we couldn't place an order.
We called to let them know the app was acting up
and asked if we could possibly place an order over the phone
due to the issues with their app.
The cashier that answer said he would ask his manager.
Then came back and said,
we'll try and refresh your screen
because, quote, everyone else's orders are coming in,
meaning it's my problem.
Oh, well, you can't order over the phone.
Horrible customer service.
They need a new manager.
Sir, all the orders are coming in and the app is working fine and our computer system is working fine.
Well, fuck me, I guess.
It must be my problem.
Wow.
I guess it's my phone.
I call you with a problem.
I'm having it.
And you tell me it's my problem.
MJM is Nick pseudonym with his old phone.
Yeah, my phone just doesn't work at McDonald's.
iPad. Okay. Okay. I'm looking into getting a new one. I'm working on it.
We didn't even talk about that. When you order on iPads, and when you start the order, it goes, oh, do you want to log in? Like, what's your email address or your phone number?
Yeah. And I'm like, oh, do you guys want to get the points? And Michael was like, yeah. I went. Yeah. And Nick, it was Michael in my left ear going, yeah. And then Nick, it was weird. Nick, Nick was with us, Stan.
all around in line
and then somehow when that came up
he crashed through the window
there's a big
Nick's size hole
he was outside yeah he had to
go outside crushed through the window
and be like me me me
and then he had you could
he logged in you could see he had some points
he had a bunch of points and you were like
oh Nick we ought to write and he went no
no no no we use a kids meal
no no no we're here to earn
they won't let us that's exactly what it was
I won't let you
but he'd like
Let me, he graciously let me have his drink.
Yeah.
You're welcome.
Half of it.
Thank you.
A quarter.
So, a third.
A third.
A third. I'll give you a third.
In, good, good deal.
40%.
Shake on it.
In total, what, what we paid.
No, what a third is.
For a total of six tacos, chips and queso.
Yeah.
And four drinks.
Man, I was, I was fucking smacking my lips looking at that ranch hand.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Looked really good.
Looked real.
good, like a good taco. How much
do you think we spent? I saw
$80. I saw the subtotal. Okay.
It was like $80. I think with tax
and stuff, it probably came out of $94.
Oh, did you? Oh, you didn't see.
Oh, it was like $120. Oh, was it really?
Yeah, it was all the drinks. Yeah.
Oh, was that before the drinks it was $80. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, you've seen it before the drinks and everything.
I didn't remember when I saw it. Yeah, I mean, those drinks are probably what, like
$12 each? I feel like $80 is a lot for
six tacos, though. Yes.
Yeah. And chips.
And chips in case.
Okay, we did get the chips too.
Yeah, how was it so much?
They're not that expensive.
Nope.
How much were those tacos?
Oh.
How much?
The Ronan?
Yeah, the Ronan was like $6.50, wasn't it?
Right, so how the fuck was it 80?
I don't think it was more, I don't think it was more than $6.50.
Was it really?
Yeah.
It couldn't have been much more, though.
I think they were probably like $8.
Still.
Plus tax.
Yeah, I guess.
All that stuff.
Crazy.
$10 drinks of pop.
Yeah.
Yeah, those drinks were expensive.
Yep.
But boy, you know.
But the chips in case it were real good.
But they go down, those drinks go down.
Easy when you're sitting there having chips and case out.
Yeah, they go down easy too when Eric says, let's go.
You finish your drinks and I have to finish all of my end.
I think that's the first time I've ever seen Michael not be the first one to finish one of those.
He was in, he was sipping.
He was chilling.
He was getting his Wednesday off to start.
I was already pretty big game in anyway.
As you saw, I got here, I mean, he started drinking fireball.
And then they went, ooh, it scrambled like a gremlin.
Jumped out of my car, scrambled like Gullum going after the one.
The door was like
The door was closing
It was like pretty
Indiana Jones style shit
Yeah
And then Michael
Nick grabbed for the fireball
Like it was his hat
Michael held it up
And he was like ooh
And I just like he's getting out of the car
He got out almost on all fours
Yeah
He held it up like this
And I know it was more like look at me
I'm making poor decision
Yeah
And then so Nick had some fireball
Got back in the car
And then we were like
Oh whatever
And I went Nick have you eaten today
And he went, no.
Why?
Oh, I see the problem.
I had some jerky before we left.
Well, he had three tacos.
Jordan had jerky when we got back.
It's true.
Jordan was like, I haven't eaten enough either.
I need some jerky.
So let's get into the review of the Ronan of this.
How much of your taco did you guys eat?
I ate like four bites.
I ate all of it.
I ate all of it.
I hated it.
The first bite was the worst because I think that's where all the mint was.
The mint.
It was just all mint and peanuts.
And what I liked the best, again,
The terriaki steak was different than like the ranch hand
There were little chops
Whereas the ranch hand are more like strips
But that's that's the kicker
That's what I want right
That's the meat I want the meat and the cheese
And everything else is supposed to like
You know accentuate it
Not a lot of meat to work with
There's not a lot of meat and just all the extra shit
It's all you can taste
And it's too much peanut
And pickled and pickled fucking co-slaught
Dude yeah the slah wasn't doing itself
The onions there's definitely too much other stuff on it
There's too much, and there was too much, like, sauce type shit.
Like, again, I didn't even get the avocado sauce,
but there was cilantro, avocado sauce and the zesty sauce.
There was like, there was like, siracha sauce, whatever.
Yeah.
And that's all on top of terriaki steak.
Did you taste terriaki?
I didn't taste terriaki at all.
I don't know it was terriarchy.
It just tasted like regular fajitas steak.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, I think if terriaki was like the feature of this and you kind of like build a couple things around it,
totally different.
Also, it really makes you wonder, why is it called the Ronan?
I have no idea.
I have no idea.
Is it just because of the teriocchi?
I'm thinking about doing like a racist thing with this taco.
Flower tortilla, fucking fajita strips, mixed cheese, egg.
Yeah, yeah.
Add fucking queso, make it trashy.
That's the best taco they have.
You can eat it all day.
You get the extra protein with eggs.
It's like put an egg on your burger almost.
Oh.
It's just...
I heard you can do that.
This just seemed like a lot.
Again, what we had listed on here, the four ingredients,
there are four more ingredients not listed on here.
And it was just...
It was kind of like, I hated it.
Yeah, unwieldy.
Jordan, what do you think?
I don't have that weird, like, cilantro tastes like soap thing that people have.
Yeah, no, no.
The combination of the cilantro and mint made that happen.
I agree.
It was too...
It tasted bad.
It made both of them taste bad.
And I don't like mint things in general.
If I had known there was mint on it, I would have got it without mint, but again, I want to try it.
That's the other thing, too.
I've almost gotten the tacos of the month so many times.
But I know to get it, I would get, like, three things taken off.
And what the fuck is the point of getting it?
Because that's all it is.
different taco. That's just like, I'm just trying to make
the ranch hand again. What the
fuck is the point? The illusion
of choice. It always brings you back to ranching. Yeah, there's like
two out of the year I usually get. Yeah, and this one wasn't it. I'm sorry
Nick, you got the email. We're all
worse off for it. Yeah.
42%.
Michael. I don't recommend it either. Highly recommend torches.
I love torches. That fucking ranch hand
it would probably would have been in 80 or 85.
Sometimes the meat is a little
pully. And sometimes
it breaks perfectly. There's
probably a couple of points like
up or down you can give for that.
This thing, I hated it. I would go to
Torchies, don't get this.
37. 37. I did not like it at all.
I was just like to be a little lower for it. You didn't even finish
it. 39.5
man. I'd leave
room from Nick's drink. Yeah. 30
all one third or
one quarter or 40% of it. 33.
39.5
is the score which
I don't think it's a good representation of Torchis
but it's a good representation to me
of their tacos of the month
you have got to love everything they put
on that thing to get it
it is not a oh
that's something that everyone would like
and I feel like it's the reason
they only crank them out one a month
because they don't have to worry about
whether people buy them or not
and they get
after a certain point
you're trying new stuff
you gotta get a little higher concept
and then you're putting peanuts
on your taco and it's like you should
peanuts and mint
you need to stop
you okay
you scared
he heard something
Is there a ghost? Is Chris back?
I think Jeff will go.
Check the trampoline.
Check the trampoline.
I knocked him out pretty good.
I know you should be fine.
Can we go see Golden Eye if he's still out then?
Well, that's our review of Torchie's Tacos, the Ronan Taco of the Month.
Yeah, just kind of a bummer.
Did you like it?
Did you get something else?
Not really.
Yeah, I didn't.
It was incohesive, you know?
Yeah, it just, it really.
It was kind of just things thrown together.
It didn't come together.
It just didn't come together.
But check out Torchies if there's one near you.
Definitely recommend Torchies.
for sure.
I got the brush fire
that's usually
my go to.
Louisville.
I like the
I really like
the brush fire.
It's like a jerk chicken
with like the Diablo sauce
and I think.
It's good.

If you are, if you come into a crackle tier or compliments crackle.
You know what we could do, though?
What's that?
Because if we don't have time to spend anything up, though, we could do a sale.
Yeah, I think it's at the very least, yeah.
I have some experience.
I have some experience with some Garbo Tuesday sales.
I got a great idea.
100% eat?
100%?
Oh, I was thinking 1.00%?
Whoa, Garbo style.
I was going to say 100% full price is different.
This is a, no, you do the 1% sale.
and more people will buy it because it's okay yeah
the one point
trust me I came up with it
and then the company clamored to fucking make
me do it every single year
God they couldn't wait for you to get you to do it
one point hundred percent
wait what's up put a garbage bag on my head
don't save money
it's Garbo!
Oh he's back

going to kill ourselves.
We're waiting for the sweet release of death.
It embraces us all
until we float up to hell.
See? Could you imagine? Wow.
We should get all this in war with the

That's smart. It's true.
Are we up or down? We give them enough, dude.
