Starting point is 00:01:09 You need it. I'm your host, Michael Jones, alongside my co-host. Jordan swears, Jordan, how are you? I don't even need it. He doesn't fucking need it. Yours isn't ready. I'm good. When the show starts, then you start.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Yeah! Eric trying to take Nick's job. He did. He did. He also was trying to get, like, candid shit recorded. He was trying to catch him. He was like candid camera shit. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:32 Yeah. sneaky recordings going on. He was rolling. I don't know why he was saying, Nick, talk about your dick. Are you cut? Are you cut or uncut? He kept saying that. I'm going to buy him a hat. I saw this hat that says uncut. Would that, like, would that be for you or would that not be for
Starting point is 00:01:45 you? If I were to get you a gift. Would you say you're a hat guy or not a hat guy? I'm talking in code. Specifically this hat. Would you wear this hat? Well, we had like documented proof that like Nick like solved a problem. We can't have that. No, no, no, no, no. So you rewrap. You rewap, like, you
Starting point is 00:02:03 cleared the SD card. I only say we can't have that because that's his job. His job is... His job is the mixture it's fixed, so unfortunately the audience never sees it. It's true. That's like why we can't have it. If the episode comes out, it worked. If it comes out and it sucks, get him.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Oh, I think that part of it is on us. That usually happens on regulation podcast with Gavin. Gavin usually gets Nick well afterward. Wow. We go through the whole quality being bad. I mean, that's his. Yeah, we go through the whole, we go through the whole, we go through the whole, thing where it's like, here's the episode,
Starting point is 00:02:35 we should check it, and then everyone goes, it's good, and then it comes out, and Gavin goes, that's not good. That doesn't count. That's personal preference. That doesn't count. I'm talking about Jordan's half his audio is missing. Right, if there's an actual technical issue. Half his audio.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Just the left channel. Right. But it's not going to because he got it and fixed it. Listen to it. It sounds normal to me, and then Gavin listens to it after it's come out and goes, guys, half the audio is gone. Uh-huh. I think that's on you guys.
Starting point is 00:03:04 That's true. Yeah, but that's guaranteed. Not what it is. Correct. I'm not, I will say, Michael's right. I'm not sourcing any specific instance. It's not that. It's noticed.
Starting point is 00:03:14 I have a preference. Gavin, that came out already. Sounds a bit weird, isn't it? And you go, what? And he goes, I don't know. And just kind of parses. He's already speaking another language. It's either, it's either come out already.
Starting point is 00:03:26 Uh-huh. Or there is actually time, but then you, okay, further elaborate Gavin and he doesn't. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Where? Can you give you an example? Just no response. Whole thing, really?
Starting point is 00:03:40 It's just like, hey, this audio sounded weird at this part. What the fuck? What happened to the camera? Did you see that? No, what happened? Solar flare. Like a solar flare. It just went,
Starting point is 00:03:51 I think Gavin knew that we were talking about him and he sent a solar flare. Gavin isn't doing shit. He's not watching this. He doesn't care. He doesn't watch our stuff. Good. Yeah. Proud of him.
Starting point is 00:04:04 He's only complaining. After, he does. Exactly. Let's not watching. That's looking for a gripe. Someone's in a mingy mood. That is true. That is true.
Starting point is 00:04:14 He has time to fucking, like, wander over to quality control. Yep. He's looking for. Some of it minged off about this. You need, like, another channel in your Slack that's just called Fight Channel. Yeah. He's like, hey, I'm looking for a fight. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Do that instead. Yeah. Yeah, right? No, thank you. our our our slack is renewing and Gracie's gonna get kicked off Good so
Starting point is 00:04:39 She doesn't use it anyway She already said like you can take me up But like I bought a year Yeah so it's like it's just gonna credit us for the next bill So yeah We'll say Our slack has been popping off Because we sold out
Starting point is 00:04:54 Of our live show Tickets Oh baby Gone if you thought you could walk up and get a ticket No dice You can what? You can. No, they're sold out.
Starting point is 00:05:05 But not at the, not there. Not when you get there. No, no, that means they sold them all. They're gone. No, that's only through Ticketmaster. Yeah. No, no, they're not using Ticketmaster. Right.
Starting point is 00:05:13 I'm just going to get it. Right. Yeah, right. But when you get there, they won't have any tickets. It's a different stock. No, it's the same stock. It's all from the same bucket. There's this many seats and that many seats sold out.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Yeah. I'm buying from the other batch. No, there's not another batch. I want to be really clear. There's no other batch. And they're all sold out. How do I get my tickets now? I've changed my mind.
Starting point is 00:05:38 How do I get them? What I'm hearing is that it's too late. Uh-huh. How do I? Not for me. Right, but like, not for me. So now what? So now what are you going to do?
Starting point is 00:05:49 So I'm going to walk up and I'm going to say one ticket and they're going to say what? And I'm going to say what? And then now what? I'll be honest. It was sitting around, hovering around that like 39 tickets left for like a couple weeks. I was like, it'll probably like, trickle down until like the day before. I figured. And then, what was it, Monday?
Starting point is 00:06:07 Yeah, Monday. Uh, he sold out. They just sent us an email. Like, hey, they're all gone. Hey, there are you on any more tickets. And he's like, okay. So, uh, I figured we were going to have some, we would probably have some walkups, like day of purchasing and everything. We will.
Starting point is 00:06:20 Sold out? No, we won't. There won't be any handful. They're all gone. The extras. There aren't extras. They always hold them back. There's always holding any back.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Always. They're not holding any back. You know what you're talking about. Yeah. But they're all. sold out, especially VIPs. That's true. So quickly. Yeah, that was very fast. A lot of very important bugs coming to the show.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Yeah, yeah, bugs! And we got a the posters coming together. Yeah, everything's coming together. Really excited. So it's exciting Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think maybe the most exciting thing. Bring in my doorbell. Get out of here. Me? Oh, yeah. Gavin. I think the most exciting thing.
Starting point is 00:06:52 I know what you said. Hey, and I think the most exciting thing is that we saved Wendy's. We did it. Did we? We don't know that yet. I don't know. It's his show. Michael, what did we eat today? You're excited about it, baby. You're excited about it, don't act like you're not. The return of the Wendy's pretzel pub.
Starting point is 00:07:14 They did it. They actually followed through and made it. They had to. They didn't have to, actually. I mean, I'm shocked they actually did. Right. It was so quickly too. It was like, what, three months?
Starting point is 00:07:24 And then it was nothing. Fine, here it is. Right? And it was like so unceremonious. It was only because of us like, It was a spiteful release. Data scrapers, you know, on the back end, hacking Wendy's and being like, there seems to be a shipment of pretzel buns coming to local Wendy's.
Starting point is 00:07:41 So my Monday was pretty packed, and I'm like, okay, well, if I'm going to do all of my writing for our record this week, I'm just going to get done on Sunday. So I wrote out a whole Marco's Pizza episode. Nice. I did next week. I wrote out a whole market. However, I think not next one. Who knows what will happen next.
Starting point is 00:07:57 It'll be irrelevant. So. Casey's. No. Go on, sorry. He forgot he was in the foreground. No, I'm in the background. Did a whole write-up for Marcos, all done and everything.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Woke up Monday, pretzel post back. Yeah. And it was like, all right, well, fuck Marcos. Well, even when we were doing the 100% heat stream, that's when the rumors were really going. It was like August, August 3rd, it's coming back. And like, I didn't really like. Tell me your rumblings.
Starting point is 00:08:27 They were definitely a little rumbles. But I was like, I can't. heat it. Right. I just can't trust it. Yeah. Even if, even if for sure, it's like, it'll probably take another week for it to roll out nationwide. And then somebody on our Discord was like, it's available, it's available. And so I went to the Wendy's, I was on my computer, so I just went to wendies.com and was like, let me start a mobile order for my zip code. And it was like, this is unavailable. And I was like, oh man, I guess it's not here yet. And then Michael sent a screenshot of the app.
Starting point is 00:08:56 It was a screen recording. Yeah. Where like you opened the app, searched on it. And it It was like add to bag. It was like, all right. I think it's unavailable for you because it was still on breakfast hours. Yep, yeah, that's what I thought. Oh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:08 It was like 10 when you looked. It was pretty early. You have to like specify, show me lunch anyway, even though you're not serving it. I'm such a, I'm such a plea. I know.
Starting point is 00:09:15 That's why I didn't even reply. I just sent it. Yeah. I didn't make this video real way. I edited it. I always do. Thank you. You don't see the phone.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Oh, yeah. I do the same thing. It's, I always crop out. Yeah, I do it. I do it. I hate that. I crop out the time and I crop out the battery. It's saying,
Starting point is 00:09:29 you don't need to talk you. Fuck you. Kill yourself. Yep. If you ever want, it's either that's too charged or it's like overcharged. Shy if it's someone who has 2% and it's a danger.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Tell them. Right. Like, I'm getting away. I'm going to the rainforest now. I'm pretty risky with 14%. At home. If it's not that and you say that,
Starting point is 00:09:49 you should consider ending your life. I don't mean to judge too harshly. It's the dumbest. It's the dumbest fucking thing on the goddamn planet. That and commenting when someone posts a selfie or a picture and there's someone in the background. Yep. There's a guy back there. No shit.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Yep. There are other people. You're outside. I'm outside. Remove yourself from society. Here's a picture on a roller coaster. Look at that guy. And the road behind you.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Yep. There he is. I got to have something to say. I like when they reply with just like the cropped in zoomed in like. That's like super like. low res. Exactly what I was thinking. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Absolutely. Are you evil? That's just the kind of person he is. Listen, listen. Listen, I'm just glad. I'm listening. We did it. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:10:38 We did do it. Our heroes brought it back. No banner for us. They said bugs assemble. And the bugs descended on a Twitter poll. Because Wendy's is not what it was in 2014. And we took over the poll. Wendy's was like, right.
Starting point is 00:10:53 You could hire, $7,500 bots. to like rig this and then our 7,600 bugs came in. Yeah. Not bots. It was not a loss. Yep. I mean like where all these bots come from? To be clear. No. No. To be clear. To be clear. On your left. That like is that
Starting point is 00:11:10 furthers the sway. Yeah. Is we're not coming here going we had a million people. Right. It was such a low number. It was. It was such a low number. That makes a couple hundred bugs came in and swung the pole. It absolutely was us. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Without question. There's no question. We were like a third of the pole. Like it's crazy how low it was for Wendy's. And it's like, that shows. They were not. That shows the dedication of the bugs to us,
Starting point is 00:11:42 but it shows how Wendy's has fallen off so, so, so hard. It really does. The fact that the bugs could swing it. Crazy. How far are they falling. To change a whole plan where they're going, we'll just do yellow packaging. It'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Everyone will be happy about. yellow packaging. And then... Hey, yellow packaging lost. Let's just say it won. The bugs again. Fraud! Fraud!
Starting point is 00:12:05 Stop to steal! The watchbugs! Who watches the watchbugs? This was incredible and now... Inflation called. You're next. But now it's back.
Starting point is 00:12:20 A thing that never should leave and never should have left. It's true. Since the beginning of this show, it has gone away and come back. This is the third time we're eating this thing. I believe so. A handful of times and it's just like. And I think it's the fourth time it's come back.
Starting point is 00:12:33 I believe so. I think it came back one time and we were just like, oh, you don't need it. Yeah. What are we going to do? Eat it a third time? Yeah, I can't wait to eat it every time now. But it is, it's just a thing where Wendy's is,
Starting point is 00:12:44 it's hit the skids. It's trying to figure it out. It's putting it mildly. Yeah. It's hiring workers who are mowing their lawn every day. And it's getting people who will hand you friends. They will, yeah. And they will hand you french fries, no bag.
Starting point is 00:12:59 A sun is blazing down on their skin. Yeah, just darkening it and stretching it. Yep. At Wendy's, you can get French fries and they can just hand them to you. They can just, they can simply hand you the French fries. What did you want? You wanted the fries. Done and done.
Starting point is 00:13:14 You got to the fries faster, dude. If you wanted them in a bag, you should have specified. We, you should have ordered the fries, first of all. We got to Wendy's. Walk up, no one there, great. Order four pretzel pubs with a chicken, chicken pretzel pubs. That's him tap it away. Um, you want like double, single?
Starting point is 00:13:37 No, no, no, spicy chicken. Spicy chicken. I know. I don't know. I've liked you. Fucking Christ. It would be good. Spicy chicken.
Starting point is 00:13:45 And then it was a back and forth and then, okay, cool. We got, okay, spicy chicken. What else? A large French fry. Okay, great. And then charged it. It's 40 bucks for the four sandwiches and a large fry. And then she...
Starting point is 00:13:55 How expensive are the fries? Don't know. $100. And then she hands me a large drink cup and does not hand me my receipt. I just have to take my receipt and go. Yes, I did. And I just took it and I went. That rules.
Starting point is 00:14:10 My name on the receipt. E-R-I-C-K again. It has to be the third or fourth week in a row. I'm pretty sure they just hit a button that is the E-Rick button. Yeah, yeah. Why is there an E-Rick button? Right? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:24 No, no. Nick keeps in AI. So we got it. Michael was thrilled to get a drink. Michael was really excited. I was thinking about getting a drink and I was like, eh, I'm not going to bother. Yeah. And then you got a drink.
Starting point is 00:14:31 And I was like, oh, that's so cool. Yep. And then we were leaving. And then they didn't give us French fries. And I said, we had a large fry. And she went. And then walked over. She was doing the thing.
Starting point is 00:14:43 If I just act like I'm really busy, he won't. Uh-huh. Yeah. He won't care enough. And then shoveled him into a thing and then just fucking handed them to me. And it was like, I've never. my life, in my life, had it happen where you give me food no bag. Yeah, unless you're eating served at the restaurant.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Right, if it's, if it's for, if it's there. It did also happen at Firehouse Subs. Oh, yeah. Where they just handed you the four sandwiches. But, but, but that would be like if they just had the sandwich. Yeah, the sandwich is no rapper. Yeah, it was still wrapped up. Yeah, it was still wrapped.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Yeah. They were like contained a little bit. Yeah. Oh, do you want a bag? But they just expected you to like, yeah. What's happening? No, all six of them. Because that was the one with our... Like, what's happening here?
Starting point is 00:15:26 Bazaar. Maybe we were eating there. We, you, God. So... Damn it. Yeah. We did it. Pretzel Pub.
Starting point is 00:15:34 It's back. The hamburger version, the chicken version. And you can get the 100% eat way. Spicy chicken version. Yeah, that's what we're calling it. You got to get spicy chicken. I think that's the only way to do it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Like, there needs to be, they need to see similar to how we influence the pole. We need to activate the bugs again. To get them to get it 100% eats way. Yeah. And they need to see the data where it's like, everybody's just getting spicy chicken on this. Yeah. We got to make it the default.
Starting point is 00:16:01 Probably don't say it 100% eat way though, because you're already, you're already not going to get what you order. It was a whole debate on the way back of, did Wendy's achieve the bare minimum by giving us the thing we ordered? There was a lot of questions about whether or not. It's the main tension in the ride-alogue. It did not feel like we were going to get it.
Starting point is 00:16:19 I really thought it was going to be a burger. Yeah, 100%. Yeah. 100% going. We're getting a burger for this thing. And we were going to destroy Wendy's if that were the case. That would have been bad. That would have been really bad.
Starting point is 00:16:29 You only get the authentic 100% eat way. If you tell them your name is Eric and they put E-Rick on the receipt. Fucking, I just don't understand. This is like not the way people have spelled that way. It's the least common way to spell. I've never seen it spelled that way. No. Never.
Starting point is 00:16:44 There might be one guy. I've seen it with a C or K. I've never seen it both. With both. Yeah. Have you ever seen with a cute? Crazy. I've seen Erdrick from Dragon Quest.
Starting point is 00:16:53 That's a different name. That is a different name. But it's closer to that. It ends with the CK. I had a friend of middle school named Edric. Whoa. What?
Starting point is 00:17:01 Parents are probably just Dragon Quest fan. You got a brother named Bard. You Spoony Bard. You Spoony Bart. I think of that often. That is such a lost... What's Spoony Bard? It's like a lost meme thing
Starting point is 00:17:17 from like early 2000s internet of... I mean, it's older than that. What was the... Because I would see it online for like Final Fantasy some Final Fantasy It's from Final Fantasy Four I think
Starting point is 00:17:31 Yeah It's four or six I think it's four And then it was like Mamed really hard on line I guess I think it was just like a It was just like a translation thing Yes
Starting point is 00:17:39 Like a U.S. translation And he was a bard Mm-hmm But he's like Damn you you spoon barred And so what was he trying I think it was four Stupid?
Starting point is 00:17:50 I don't remember Don't know Spoony Don't know But it's one of those ones where it got mistranslated became a meme. All your base
Starting point is 00:17:57 would belong to us style. I just saw it online all the time. So Spoonie Bard, I think of a lot. Is it a password now? Or a cheat? It's our password. It's our past Spoonie?
Starting point is 00:18:05 Yes. Spoonie Bard. Yes. Yes. Yes, Bard. Yes, Bard. Hey, Michael. Do you want to learn about Wendy's?
Starting point is 00:18:15 Yeah, there's actually there's a lot of learning here. There's a lot of learning. Is one of the facts that we brought this back? Hey, it's like kind of, well, no, actually. You will see.
Starting point is 00:18:24 It's kind of like three. Okay. Okay. Our last Wednesday's episode was May 19th, 20206 where we ate Wendy's Halepinio Ranch, burger and sweet and sour sauce. We received an average rating of 18. Wow, how recent and how forgettable. Hey, so forgettable.
Starting point is 00:18:37 You forgot so much that we didn't get the sauce, right? Didn't get the sauce. Yeah. I remember that. If they had given it to us, they probably would have gone. Wow, it's been that long. Isn't this crazy? Our last Wendy's Pritzel Plup episode was September 13th, 2020.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Jeez, Louise. Christ. As face jam, he received an average rating of 84.4993. I feel like you were waiting that one a little bit. Somebody gave it a 69. Yeah. Because it was better than the first time. And then somebody else gave it a 99. I think, 9994948.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Who was you? Yeah. I remember the first time we had it. I gave it a 68. And I was like, this is better. And then. So I went with 69. You gave us.
Starting point is 00:19:24 And Michael was so... Michael, I was upset. Michael was so pleased that you just went up by one point because you went, it's better. And then that's a lot of weight you had to get into a new round four. Yeah, there you go. I don't care as much today. Yeah, I hear that. Here's the fact you were looking for, Jordan.
Starting point is 00:19:46 We did it. We did it. Wendy's does not respect us. Nope. And they don't believe we did it, but the power of our heroes changed the course of Wendy's. And they had to throw out their classic packaging. You get what you deserve. Resurrection Dave Thomas now.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Bring him back. Frankenstein Dave Thomas. Get him back in charge. Bring it back to prominence where you can get a spicy nuggets for a dollar or whatever. That's what we need to be doing. 99 cents, asshole. Yeah. Get that.
Starting point is 00:20:11 It was a 99 cent menu. Well, a dollar. Inflation. No, but not if we're bringing back. Dave Thomas picked up the phone, but he was about to answer it. Dude, inflation called. And it said inflation. And he said, he said, no way.
Starting point is 00:20:22 No way. And he didn't even hang up. He just went. And then he was... Yep. And that's what I'm saying resurrect Dave Thomas. He left the phone off the hook and somebody came by and like, hello? And now look at Wendy's.
Starting point is 00:20:38 First one walked in and they slipped. Yeah. What floor sign? Yeah, whoa. What's all over the ceiling, Dave? Catch up everywhere. Jackson Pollack over here. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Hey, in May of this year, Three Wendy's employees in Union, South Carolina, were accused of spitting in a customer's food and serving it after it had been in the trash. Why is that funny? I don't know, but why both? According to the incident report, a woman stated that she had ordered food
Starting point is 00:21:08 in the Wendy's drive-thru, but the order was wrong, so she gave it back to the employees who remade her food and gave it back. The woman said that she left the store with the remade order, she began to eat when she received a call from someone at the store,
Starting point is 00:21:21 telling her not to eat the food because the employees spit, in the food and put it in the trash can. Received a call? The customer called police who arrived and arrested three employees. Who the fuck called this lady? How did they get her number? Did the call really happen? Why did everyone get...why did
Starting point is 00:21:36 everyone get arrested? This is like a Ureview dot com come to life and the police fell for it. Well if that's the case, you won't believe the piss cup situation happening at local Austin Jack in the box officers. Get a piss cup. Like piss drink. Yum! Yum, you're drinking piss.
Starting point is 00:21:52 I'm sorry. Yeah, and then I got a call. Maybe she was driving a work truck and the number was on the side of the van. Wasn't the fucking, wasn't it the NSA being like, hey, we're watching you and like also all Wendy's, but like we saw what was going on. It makes no sense. Yeah, and I was about to eat my food. And then someone in the restaurant called and they said, don't eat the food. It's spinning the trash.
Starting point is 00:22:15 That's weird. They spit in it. They spit in it. And then also they put it in the trash first though. And also it's piss. And also they piss in the cup. A little piss cup. They say, you want a cup for water.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Now you're drinking. Half a cup of water. Half a cup of piss. You did not order it, but you'll get this. Pissy, pissy piss. Piss, trickle it down. Here is my piss cup. Open your mouth.
Starting point is 00:22:43 It's going for like a berries and cream. I really like it. It's had no boopo-lupa flair to it. I'm going to the Bears and Cream guy. It's like a hoop-loop. Have you ever had some? Someone at a fast food restaurant call you and say don't eat the food? I never had them call me at all.
Starting point is 00:23:01 What? This is like the reverse of a you review where it's like, and then I called the restaurant. And then the restaurant called me. And then the restaurant called me. It's made up. There's no way that happened. I can't believe everybody had arrested. The police came and arrested everybody.
Starting point is 00:23:15 They arrested three employees. Based on what? What you're pasted shit or something. The phone called that said did somebody spit in the trash food? The cops got there. They saw a trash can. They saw a trash can. And then they saw...
Starting point is 00:23:27 Well, that checks out. And then they saw three people... One of them wearing an uncut hat. Was it you? Was it you? Did you cut in line? That's not what that means. Are you what me?
Starting point is 00:23:40 You want to see? Do you think maybe they had a wire on this Wendy's? They were watching it for something else? You think it was like a Wendy's sting operation? Like they were watching it, like monitoring it for something else. Like, they're trying to figure out why Wendy's is so bad now. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Yeah. We got to get to the bottom of it. And then they found out that employees were not only spitting in food, but also putting it in the trash can before taking it out of the trash can to give to people. I don't know if the rules are this. It's classic move. I'm rewatching the wire, so this is going to top of mind. But do you think maybe there's an officer watching? And then they had to call in and be like, hey, I think when Freeman, it's like, they're up on the pay phone.
Starting point is 00:24:17 I think when Walton Goggins, comes in. Yeah. I think when Walton Goggins throws that grenade, it's not a grenade. It's a hamburger that it got spit on. and he pulled it out of the trash and then threw it into a car. So I think that's what happened. I'm not like the wire.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Yeah, what season of the wires he? Oh wait, I'm back to the shield. That's the shit. I started, you said the wire and I started. They both start with the. Oh, then, okay. Two very good shows.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Yeah. Two very good shows. Then maybe he's just walking around with a shotgun, he just spit it to there. I didn't really throw the grain. He was like, he was a sandwich. Yeah. Did.
Starting point is 00:24:52 The way he does it, And the guy goes, Buh! He just literally goes. So casual. Yeah. He's giving him a sandwich. Yep.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Well, I think he does give him a sandwich with it, I think. Do you think the sandwich had spit in it and he pulled it out of the trash? Mm. And then someone was like, Omar coming.
Starting point is 00:25:13 No, no. In my sandwich? Lemma's going to ride. He was getting fucking ulcers. Yeah. From the train robbery. He couldn't sleep. He couldn't do nothing.
Starting point is 00:25:25 such a weapon. That's what it was. San Francisco cocksucker. Bro, they got the money. They just couldn't spend the money. And Len was freaking out. That's right. This is trying to, this is good. Once you put the word up, we're back up.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Tell him that you said, we're back up. That's Wendy's say, once you put word out, we're back up. That's you doing Dennis. Yeah. He's pretty good, right? Right, right. It's a layered thing. She.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Now, dude, D's Obama. Dude, D's Obama is so funny. It was the president shit. Everyone goes, whoa! I was all. I'm the president. I feel like, only she could get away with that. It's so good.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Yeah, and Michael. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's just doing an impression of a white lady. Doing an impression of a white woman. Holy moly. Hey, if you got every single one of those references, this podcast is for you. This is for you.
Starting point is 00:26:32 When you didn't, it's fine. You can still keep... Yeah, yeah, no. It's still for you, but like... Parts of it that already... Right, yeah. But if you missed any of them, we'll explain all of them at the live show
Starting point is 00:26:42 if you could have gotten tickets. I'm not explaining shit. What? Yeah, I'm not gonna remember this bit. One more fact. Oh, God. You got the ons. Trevor Skelden, 30,
Starting point is 00:26:52 faces a felony charge for allegedly stealing a food order from the Wendy's DoorDash order. Wait, no, sorry. from the Wendy's restaurant on May 13th Skeleton argued with and cursed that a Wendy's employee over a DoorDash order when asked for the proof of the order was his, then he snatched the order out of
Starting point is 00:27:08 the employee's hand and left. Police arrested him on charges of fourth degree larceny which is theft of goods over $1,000. How much do he write? How much Wendy's is this guy order? Over $1,000? What did he order? The pretzel pub 11 times. Have you seen the price on that thing? Seinfeld emoji.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Yeah, with color. How did you get that? Where did that go from? It's just Jerry Seinfeld like, Bung-Bong-Bung. Have you seen the price of this thing? I have a billion dollars. I saw the Seinfeld emoji, like, first thing,
Starting point is 00:27:45 and I was like, oh, are we going to be making Seinfeld references? No. But that's literally just that. Nope. It's just a Seinfeld stand-up thing. And I'm fine with that. A thousand dollars. I'm thinking we start doing Seinfeld Vision.
Starting point is 00:27:57 Oh. Let's get back into the references. We'll put them right here. Put them right here. Little pop-ups like those music videos. It's smart. It's smart. $1,000, $1,000 or more.
Starting point is 00:28:10 It's $1,000 or more. It just didn't stick. Yeah. Same with the guys who got arrested for the burger incident. Yeah. I think that police are maybe just going, well, we'll overestimate.
Starting point is 00:28:22 It should be fine. And then it's like none of this is sticking. It's very over. That's okay. Who cares? They lost their jobs already. I got my stats. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Yeah, it's all at it. They don't give a shit Are you oral farming? Yeah A thousand dollars It's all the deputy ops cares about He just wants his buy busts I have a feeling that they didn't like
Starting point is 00:28:45 That this guy got in a fight with somebody at Wendy's So they went you're arrested for this crazy thing Grand Larsoning Yeah and you just snatched food out of someone's hand And it probably was their food Yes I mean yeah I'm sure it wasn't but also Also if you're DoorDash just show proof
Starting point is 00:28:57 that it's yours Something tells me he wasn't Dorish Yeah. But it was not, it was not larceny. No, it's not fourth degree larceny. A thousand dollars. Is fourth degree like four times removed? So it was $250? No, it's, I think there are like higher tiers with more amounts or whatever.
Starting point is 00:29:19 More degrees? Yeah. So more. So like third degree larceny is probably like a bigger amount or more. I'm sure there's like. They need to come up with a fifth degree then. I think they do. For these Wendy's.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Yeah, I think it's, yeah, I think it's called petty theft. Right. Yeah, I think the term is petty theft. You can't call it larceny. No. No, you can. They did. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Because that's what happened. Which I think, also I think fourth degree larceny is a felony. I don't think. Yeah, larceny, I believe. Yeah, I don't think it's a misdemeanor. So I think that they were just trying to arrest this guy on a felony. Get him! Just to have something to do.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Stick him. Did he put the food in the trash? Did they spit in this? Do you want them to? They can if you hand them to. it right back. They'll do it. They stick herken Carver on him and just beat him to shit.
Starting point is 00:30:07 But those are the facts. You guys learn a lot? All right. No. What? You learn some. Seinfeld. Seinfeld. You learn Seinfeld. That's good. I learned Walton Gawkins was in the wire. I was waiting. I was waiting. I was waiting to hear. But then he perfectly described the scene not in the wire. I was also thinking I don't remember
Starting point is 00:30:25 any of those happening. When is that? He said, he said Wally Goggins. And I went, well, he said, well, he said, Well, he could have been in that. And he said lamb, and I went, nope. Nope. And that's only, it's only known. Oh, how cool would that have been?
Starting point is 00:30:37 Where does the shield take place? LA. Oh, really? You don't need a crossover. You already have Richard Belser. Yeah, and he's in law and order special victims. Oh, man, didn't he just pass away? Not just.
Starting point is 00:30:47 It's not just. He passed away old. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was old. The other price was old. He was old when he was on TV in like the 90s. Yeah. He was old.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Yeah, he was old in the original law and order. It was famous for that character. and was like, not even really an actor. Yeah, he was like a, he was a stand-up comedian and like the 80s. He just got this bit character
Starting point is 00:31:09 that was in like 10 shows or something. The dude on the Sopranos or most of the cast in the wire. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just like kind of hired off the streets. Here's some people. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Cool. I think the first show is homicide. I think that's where that character originated from. Oh, really? Life on the streets. Yeah. That's crazy. And those are all Dick Wolf?
Starting point is 00:31:29 They have to be. I don't even have, I mean, like, I know half of them are, so the other half must be, how else could this character be an Aries and the one? So, Law and Order exists in the universe of the Sopranos because when Christopher is learning to write screenplays or like he goes to like Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcic Anonymous, he meets a screenwriter who's going to get on a Dick Wolf project,
Starting point is 00:31:51 which is like weird in it, in and of itself. But I think that actor has been on Law & Order because he was also on wings. It's very strange. Like, they just picked like a weird guy. It was just, to me, it was a weird thing to be like, Law & Order exists here. And it's like, okay, all right, cool.
Starting point is 00:32:07 Yeah, it's real life. Yeah, sopranos. It's like one of those entanglements where we're like, well, hold on, if we think about this too much, maybe it kind of starts to unravel. Yeah. Because. You think McDonald's exists in the Sopranos?
Starting point is 00:32:18 I bet it does. It's like the third Star Trek movie. Like, after the reboot, where like, there's like an enemy or something that is like sound-based or something where it's like if they play loud music, it'll like disrupt them and they play a Beastie Boy song and they're like oh classic music
Starting point is 00:32:35 the Beastie Boys and I'm like but there's an intergalactic mentions Spock yeah so in the Holy shit oh my God so in a universe where Spock exists
Starting point is 00:32:45 and so does the Beastie Boys oh my God this is this is where the time label they start collapsing yeah yeah I've been you know maybe there's that song doesn't exist right the Beastie Boys do but they were never inspired
Starting point is 00:32:58 to make interrelacting yeah their best son It's tough. They only know, they only did sabotage. Yeah. Didn't one of them pass away recently? Not recently, but yes. Richard Belzer's style, not recently.
Starting point is 00:33:09 You can play as him in NBA Jam on fire. Yeah, all right. Cool. It's the best version of NBA Jam. Jordan, will you teach us of the food? Dude, I can't believe. I'll get to the Presbytero because I'm super stoked for them to mention us. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:24 I'm going to just blaze through this. Preciel bacon, pub, cheeseburger. Wendy's Fresh, Never Frozen Quarterpound Beef. Asteris. Patty, beer cheese, slice. applewood smoke bacon, smoky honey mustard, crispy onions, pickles, and a slice of Munster cheese, all on a soft pretzel bun. That is what we didn't get.
Starting point is 00:33:37 We did not get that one. We know all about that. Yep. Pretel bacon pub chicken sandwich. As an expansion of the pretzel bacon pub offerings, chicken lovers can enjoy the same pub quality flavor. Saying something as pub quality is like, that's not singing its praises, to be honest. A little chicken lover, pub quality, pub quality chicken lover.
Starting point is 00:33:57 With Wendy's classic chicken filet. You could always get this, by the way. Are they just now acknowledging you can do this? That it's like a separate thing and it doesn't have to be like a whole bunch of substitutions. This is how we're getting closer to 100% eat style. Getting there. And the bacon pub fries, hot and crispy fries that we didn't get. No, we did not get those.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Why not? Because this is the same thing. Because they suck. It's the hot and crispy fries that you come to expect at your neighborhood pub with beard cheese, shredded cheddar cheese and apple would smoke bacon crumbles. We have had it. Oh. It was not good.
Starting point is 00:34:28 Oh. We have had it. And then we had it. Yeah. Oh, shit. We, oh, we've had it.
Starting point is 00:34:35 All right, here we go. Here's our big mention. Press material. The Bring It Back bracket made one thing clear. 100% eat things. That's right,
Starting point is 00:34:44 baby. Wanted the pretzel, bacon pub cheeseburger back. And try as we might to deny them. Jordan's not what it says. Oh. Jordan's not what it says.
Starting point is 00:34:54 I just, I didn't read. Jordan, what is it said? People were freaking out. You read that. I guarantee you. Dr. Robot Tomato was driving.
Starting point is 00:34:59 car off the road. We did it. Somebody's driving their forklift. Tews is the driving cat style. Jared's going to be upset with you. Jared's what it really says. Can't let go with this. The Bring It Back Bracket made one thing clear.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Wendy's fans wanted the pretzel, bacon, pub cheeseburger back, and we're excited to deliver. I feel like they're saying this through gritted teeth, though. Oh, 100%. Also, no one wanted the cheeseburger. Yeah. No one wanted the cheeseburger. They're not excited.
Starting point is 00:35:26 Mm-hmm. Said Linda Radkowski. Lindsay Radkowski Chief Marketing Officer at Wendy's From the pretzel bacon pub lineup To the apple crumble frosty fusion This season's menu Is packed with the bold
Starting point is 00:35:39 elevated flavors Fans are craving It's the kind of menu inspiration You'd expect to find at your Favorite Neighborhood Pub Now at Wendy's I thought it was gonna say not at Wendy's You were really trying
Starting point is 00:35:51 You were reading that like me Why do they keep talking about your favorite neighborhood pub Why are they, they're opining for something that does not exist in this country? No. It's a very English. It's a super English thing. Our neighborhood pub is one that's...
Starting point is 00:36:08 Chili's? A bar that is made up to look like an Irish pub in England or something. It's just our idea and our interpretation of that. Those don't exist as institutions. My favorite neighborhood pub is Nickel City where I can see a cloned cat need a cheeseburger out of a truck. Yeah. Like, this is not American. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:28 The pub thing is not American at all. But the pretzel is, damn it. God damn. The pretzel bun pretty good. But boy, was it secondary on all of the flavors on this thing? Man. Also, this was the new chicken patty, wasn't it? Was this the new chicken?
Starting point is 00:36:44 It didn't seem too different. It tasted different. But it was a little different. The look of it and like the way it, like the texture and the way it. I thought it was a little bit drier. It was definitely drier. I thought it was drier. It was definitely drier.
Starting point is 00:36:57 I think maybe they changed the breading a tiny bit. I think they did. I think it's like crispier because it's thicker bread. There's more crunch to it. I think there's less chicken in it. I would have to get just a regular spicy chicken sandwich to really compare. And no for sure. But if the pretzel plugs out, I'm not doing that.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Yeah, I'm not going to do that. Also, I mean, like, it is drier, but that makes, that's, that gets made up for if you just add more sauce to this thing. I felt like the whole thing was like really close to being enough sauce. but just there were bites where I'd be like none on this one. Needs more. Classic situation of like the pockets of it. Yeah. There are some bites too for me where like the cheese was like the most dominant flavor.
Starting point is 00:37:38 Yeah. I didn't really like it. It was like, it was not like quality munchester cheese. Yeah. It was like this is like borderline sour. It. Sour milk. Jordan's eating sour milk cheese. Got some zing to it. Yeah, but if you want to see. Oh, not that kind of chicken.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Oh, no. Not cucumber. Cucumber. You got cucumber zing. Watched Michael Jordan podcast. We don't want. We got another one of those cucumbers in the fridge still. Maybe this one will be good.
Starting point is 00:38:06 We could go ahead and get rid of that. If you want to watch the first bite taken of the returning pretzel pub, watch right along this week. Michael could not wait to get into it. Michael was like ready to go. And after all that, they did not make a big deal about to bring it back.
Starting point is 00:38:23 No, they didn't want it back. Because they didn't want this to win. They did not. Have you seen any advertising? Nothing on outside the restaurant. No, I was a shit. Signage.
Starting point is 00:38:32 I only knew because you mentioned it. Yep. I only knew it was back because of like the fucking scrapers. Yeah. I only know because I've been tagged in a hundred things online going, Hey, Eric, did you know this? And I go, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:41 Yes. No, it's not fine. No, I'm fine with that. Yeah. Tag him away. If you scrape, scratch him. Strap, then scratch. If you have scrapings, you don't know where to put them.
Starting point is 00:38:52 Scratch. Start scratch him. Yeah. But it's been like, It's been a long time since this thing has been here. And it's quite, that's crazy. I can't believe it's been four years. It's fucking insane that we've been opining for this
Starting point is 00:39:05 about its loss and how Wendy's has just gone downhill in this direction for this. It really has been the last four years. Yeah. Like the last time I had the problem. I was probably the last like kind of hanger on about like, it's still good. It's still good.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Yeah. And then it's not. It's not. It's not. And to see Wendy's changed this much and then to have. to get dragged kicking and screaming into bringing back the only thing I want to eat there? Yeah, that was pretty bullshit.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Fucking crazy. I mean, we'll see. It's a really like, this is a pivotal moment for Wendy's thing. It was a pivotal moment for them on our show. I think they're going to do nothing with it and squander it. I agree with that. I also,
Starting point is 00:39:41 but if it does turn around, you can always look back at this. A mark in moment, but also. And really, it's just, it would be thanks to us forever. Yep. And also, we thought we were going to get the hamburger and we were going to have to destroy them on this episode.
Starting point is 00:39:54 Yeah. They were pretty close to just. like being like... It was scary. It was a... Whatever Jack in the Box did to deserve getting banned, like, this was gonna be worse.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Oh yeah. It was gonna be unforgiving. Before we get into our review of Wendy's, we need to hear from you in a segment we call You review! There's three.
Starting point is 00:40:17 They're not super long. I can take the chunky one in the middle. Okay. Let's see. I'll probably regret it, but... Yeah, you probably will. Thought. B says, night shift is the worst.
Starting point is 00:40:29 They lock the door, then don't answer the drive-through. So you'll just drive away. And they get paid to do nothing all night. I door dash, and I come multiple times at night. And they always act as if no one is inside. And if you do get service, it's by a person who barely speak English and is worse at understanding English. They also use very disregardful tone on voice as if you are ordering bothers them.
Starting point is 00:40:51 Please avoid this door. Then maybe they'll hire better employees. tone on voice they use disregardful voice I love that I love what we make up new words what was that other word Oh
Starting point is 00:41:04 What the fuck was it? I don't remember I kept saying it Yeah we couldn't get enough A saying it It's hard with it Not being a real word Yeah
Starting point is 00:41:15 Again it's the thing where Always slipped in the middle Oh so they don't speak English I also like worse at understanding They don't speak English Also they don't understand English They also don't understand it
Starting point is 00:41:32 And they disregardfuled me I tried speaking louder I tried speaking slower Nothing I tried showing this guy juggling He didn't know how to juggle And also he didn't know what juggling was Okay
Starting point is 00:41:47 Okay So kind of starting on a weird I just regardful I did see the sign that says they're open 24 hours. They have this one of these 24 hours, yeah. It's like that seems like a bad idea. Yeah, I guarantee you they're hiding.
Starting point is 00:42:02 That was telling you, I had that experience as Wendy's. And I, you know what? You know, minus the no speaking English part. I agree with that guy. But, and you know what I did? I went home. Yeah. Or I went to McDonald's when I didn't write a review.
Starting point is 00:42:15 Yeah. Not a single time. When it's, I went, you bastard. When it's 13. I was like, I knew you close in an hour. Yeah. You fuck.
Starting point is 00:42:24 And the lights are off. I'm just, I've got, hello? Hello? Why are you closed? Why are you closed? Why are you closed?
Starting point is 00:42:34 Why are you closed? Oh my God. That's such a good one. That's a good one. That one really stuck with me. Oh, man. We want a shot. The people demand to know.
Starting point is 00:42:48 Aren't there people going in and out? He's just like out of doors that's like, walked? Yeah. Yeah. Why is the ball closed? So, you see people walking around inside of the people like leaving, looking at them? It's cool. David C.
Starting point is 00:43:03 writes this. To the owner of this establishment. God. I swear there's like a competition for like how quickly could we get into me regretting reading this one. It's going to be quick. Go ahead, Jordan. To the owner of this establishment. Welcome to America.
Starting point is 00:43:20 When hiring employees in a state where the. majority of the people speak English. Hey, if this is Texas, that's not necessarily true, by the way. You need to hire employees. They can also speak English and understand the menu in English. So when I order a number one, I don't get a number three. And then I
Starting point is 00:43:37 asked for a manager and there is no manager on site. So I get this employee that kind of speaks English. I tell him the issue I ordered a number one, he charged me for a number three. No problem. I will fix that. So they correct the order and try to correct the charge back to me.
Starting point is 00:43:53 because I was overcharged $1.65. I sat in the diner for 30 minutes. You did not. Eating my meal and finally the employee comes to me with the difference, which would be $1.65 and hands me a dollar and shows me the first receipt where they charged me $15 and charge and then shows me the second receipt with the correct amount, which was $14 and change. He say, I owe you $165.
Starting point is 00:44:21 He handed me a dollar at that point. done. At that, hey Jordan, at that point, enough's enough. I was done at Welcome to America. It was too much trouble. I'll take the 65 cent loss.
Starting point is 00:44:37 I can't retire now. All right. The dude, if you're going to hire people that only speak Spanish, you might want to keep them in the back. Jesus right. Cooking the food. Holy stuff. Not at the cash register. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Pat might be the sorry you lost a customer. Sorry you lost a customer. Have a great day. Keep them in the back. Keep them in the bag is like... That may be the worst thing that anyone's ever said. You pick the worst one ever. You always picked them.
Starting point is 00:45:10 You went right for it. Yeah, I read it. It was like, ooh, me, me, me. I'll take the middle one. Yeah. I was trying to cut you a break because... Step back, Michael. I got this one.
Starting point is 00:45:21 And keep them in the back. Hey, Michael, get in the back. You speak Spanish, right? Hey, God, no. Hey, welcome to America. This, this guy actually is, he's legitimately evil. That is an evil thing to say. That is, that is crazy.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Hey, hey, Jordan, dude. If you're kind of higher people that only speak Spanish, you might want to- 65 cents. He might want to keep them in the back. 65 cents was enough. Hey, I think, to the owner of this establishment, just cut right to the suggestion.
Starting point is 00:45:53 Keep them in the back. Could have made it one sentence. I think similar to Gavin, this guy was just looking for a, he was looking for something to set him all. Holy shit. He was in a mood and in 65 cents was all it took. There's a lot of like padding in between.
Starting point is 00:46:07 There's a lot of like veiled racism in these comments. Which isn't usually veiled at all. Just they think it is? They think it's veiled. They think they're being slid. But it's a lot of, you know, like you people. But keep them in the back might be the worst one in my opinion.
Starting point is 00:46:22 David seemed like I don't even want to look at it. Oh my God. Oh my God. I can't. It's just like, hire these animals. Keep them in the back. And then he's walking down the street. He's walking down the street in Texas. And he's like, what are all these Wendy's employees doing? Crazy. No, these Wendy's employees should be on the streets. Crazy.
Starting point is 00:46:43 What are they doing waiting for the bus? And you put your name to that. Isn't that crazy? That one's not even like. Michael, 65 cents. That one is more crazy than funny. Like, we've had some, like, old timers on the funny one.
Starting point is 00:46:57 This is an old timer on the racist scale. This is an old timer on the... On the inhuman level. I had the easiest time finding one-star reviews for Wendy's, and they were all pretty much like this. Which one was this one? Do you know? This one was a Georgetown Wendy's.
Starting point is 00:47:13 Oh, that doesn't surprise me. Yeah, that guy walks down the street. I told you. I fucking told you. That guy walks down the street, and he doesn't see Wendy's employees. Because he's in Georgetown. keep him in the back is fucking
Starting point is 00:47:26 he wrote that and do you think he wrote it and he sat there with it have a great day have a great day do you think he sat there and he went what what am I doing
Starting point is 00:47:35 or do you think he just at all no no reflection no all the way through based on his lack of punctuation use I don't think he was just he was just letting it flow man
Starting point is 00:47:44 it was 65 for sure 65 cents you can see kind of ramp up he's a little mad and then he's thinking about it more and he's getting more mad and then he gets to the The climax, which is put them in the back.
Starting point is 00:47:55 Have a great day. Have a great day. All right. The final review from Bernard. Bernard R. Went to Wendy's because I was craving a double cheeseburger with the signature square patties. Got home and the patties were round and as thin as a pancake.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Though was the worst burger I've ever eaten. The fries and chili was also subpar. In California, the burgers are thick and juicy. Shut up. What the hell happened to the quality? Perhaps this location is cutting corners to make a profit. Oh, but I thought Wendy's slogan was that we will not cut corners and that's why their patis, like a name, are square.
Starting point is 00:48:35 I got to go because my stomach hurts and I think I'm going to get sick. In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, quote, I won't be Bach. Did he ever say that? Does anyone remember him saying that? I won't be Bach. Michael Michael is like head and hands Honestly feel a little bit better
Starting point is 00:48:58 I'll I won't be bought I will will not Be bought write it like with his accent And just And then also As you pointed out
Starting point is 00:49:09 Not what he says I will won't be back I won't be back I will not be back Bog B-O-C is how he wrote it here In the famous words of a thing
Starting point is 00:49:22 thing he never said. He also, I think he hits that A sound pretty yeah, pretty well. I'll be bach. Yeah. If you want to, if you wanted, if you wanted to spell it, you'd put B-A-C-H. Yeah, yeah. I'll be bach.
Starting point is 00:49:37 Like bach. Yeah. I'll be back. Yeah. I'll won't be bach. He could have just wrote what he actually said and spelled it, but then it wouldn't have made sense because he will be back. When I... What he says, and you're saying you won't be back. So you think maybe don't use the...
Starting point is 00:49:52 That's a Mandela effect? He comes back? There's a reference I want to use. Oh, a famous saying about the guy coming back. Well, I'm not coming back. I'll still use that phrase. Right. And I'll just say that I won't.
Starting point is 00:50:02 I want to make a reference to the wire, but. What the shield in my head? Got to talk about that grenade. Why is he didn't do it? Because Lem was freaking out. He was going to rat. I love. Where's Wallace?
Starting point is 00:50:16 Doing, like, sourcing these? He strangled a cat. He did. He was hungry. like the wolf. He was just like, I need to know what it feels like to kill. And he just killed a stray cat.
Starting point is 00:50:27 And then he was like, oh shit, did anybody see? Whoops. When I'm sourcing these and I get toward, like, when I'm in the middle and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:50:34 you won't be sourcing Bach. When he's talking about, in California, the burgers are thick and juicy. And I'm like, he had to slide that in there because like, I'm from the superior state.
Starting point is 00:50:45 I think it's like a sponge bob. Like, yeah. That's him in California. Yeah. It's sort of checking the boxes where I'm going. Do, do, do, do, do do do do do. I'm like, this will make a good you review.
Starting point is 00:51:02 And when I'm reading it and he says, I got to go because my stomach hurts and I think I'm going to get sick. And then in the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, like when you're reading that for the first time and you go, what's he about to say? I'll won't be balk. I'm in the back.
Starting point is 00:51:29 Put him in the box. As Arnold said, put him in the box. Just like, as the governor said, put him in the box. I'll put him in the box. Put him in the box. Put him in the box. And then Arnold's words. He'll do.
Starting point is 00:52:09 Uncut. What? Hey, he goes up to the Spanish speaking. People and he goes, come with me if you want to live. You got to be in the front And he walks behind the camera Yeah He's safe back here
Starting point is 00:52:26 Bok here Oh my God Oh fuck dude I put him in the What the fuck? Well those are your reviews of Wendy's Holy moly But we have our reviews of the Wendy's pretzel
Starting point is 00:52:40 Bacon Pub The return Uh we brought it back. Jordan, was it worth it? We brought it. We brought it. We did it. What do you think? I'll be balk, I say. Actually, I probably won't be. As good as this is,
Starting point is 00:52:53 and I think it's good. The pretzel pub has never gotten its hooks in me as much as it has gotten like Michael and Eric. But this is the third time I've had it, and it's been a while. I do feel like this was the most flavorful version of it that I've had. and even though I can't really remember it because it was so long ago and the quality of Wendy's in general is dropped where it stands in comparison to the rest of Wendy's today it is so much better than anything they offer
Starting point is 00:53:27 so if I gave it a 69 last time and it's better this time I hate you so much you suck it could only it could only be higher you son for bitch So, I mean, it's got to be a 70, right? It's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:53:45 You fucking... 70's pretty good. 70's pretty good. It's going up. That's pretty good for Wendy's. Slowly but surely. When it goes away and it comes back again, can't wait for it to maybe be a 71.
Starting point is 00:54:01 In another four years? Best case scenario. Best case scenario in four years, it's in a 71. Yeah. Worst case, it's like a two. Yeah. He's not going to take it down by one, I'll tell you that.
Starting point is 00:54:16 Yeah. I mean, it's got all the good stuff on it. The chicken tastes a little bit different. I feel like I'm almost, I'm the opposite of Jordan, though, here. I, like, Wendy's has fallen off so much. It is so much better than anything they have there. It's the only reason to go to Wendy's. I still don't feel like going to Wendy's.
Starting point is 00:54:35 Yeah, I get it. I think they miss the boat on, like, them tanking themselves and taking forever to have this come out. No amount of goodwill can bring in the... I don't know. I'm not going to say no amount, but I'm not racing to get it. Look, I'm happy we did it. I'm more satisfied that we did it than eating the sandwich. It's good. But like Wendy's, you've lost some sheen.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Yeah. 80. Oh, dang. Hey, that's a big drop for it. Well, you hurt me. Mm-hmm. I don't know that it will be. I think that'll still average out to be higher than the last time.
Starting point is 00:55:09 I still, if it is, I think. No, if you, if you did 70, he did 80? 75. Oh, it is 75, yeah. Oh, what did we give it last time? 84. 4.9. Oh, not be close.
Starting point is 00:55:21 Yeah. 75, average score of 75. For some reason, I thought it was going to lay in an 85. 75. That's why Eric does the math. Yep, there you go. That's why you don't do the math. That's more than him doing it.
Starting point is 00:55:35 It's true. Because I do the math too sometimes. I just don't say it. 75, the average score for this pretzel buff with it coming back. My strength is English. Now, that is much higher. Like, even though that's lower than the last time we had the pretzel pub, that is
Starting point is 00:55:53 much higher than the last time we had Wendy's. Right. I'll tell you this, better than 18 was the last Wendy's. A little bit of bullshit we had to put up with like trying to rig it. I know. I know. I know. They lost points. I'll be honest with you. I'll tell you this. They lost fucking points. They didn't hire us.
Starting point is 00:56:08 This is their last chance. Mm-hmm. Like, we are doing everything in our power to help them. Yeah, absolutely. We applied to their chief tasting officer's thing. They didn't hire us. Nope. Not even a call back. Nah. And I had to decompress that video to make it fit
Starting point is 00:56:25 on their website. Come on. Make it all fucking crazy. We had to fix their fixed poll. Like, we had to set them straight on that and we did them this huge favor. You're welcome. You brought it back. This is your chance. It's up to them
Starting point is 00:56:40 now. Whatever they do after this it's out of our hands, you know? It's going to be sink or swim. And I think, like Michael said, they're probably going to be sinking. They're going to squander this. Yeah. And we can't say we didn't try, you know, but there's only so much we can do. They won't make a big
Starting point is 00:56:57 deal out of this coming back, even though it won the bracket, but when they do the yellow packaging later this year, it's going to be a huge thing. But then they're going to be like, how we just don't know. Foot traffic in restaurants is down year over year. Weird spike in August, we don't know what that's for. Yeah, anyway. Maybe the
Starting point is 00:57:13 minions. I think that we buy the minions. I think. I I think people saw the minions were yellow and they thought the yellow packaging was back. And so maybe that's why they came back. So, and then we brought back the yellow packaging. It didn't help. So I don't know. Maybe minions. Well, that's our review of the pretzel pub.
Starting point is 00:57:30 We did it. Do recommend you get it the 100% eat way with the spicy chicken. That spicy chicken is not bad. It's not great. It is definitely less juicy and it is more breading. But yeah, get it that way. We can never go back. back, unfortunately.
Starting point is 00:57:45 Get it that way. But you can come see us live on September the 3rd at the Bell House in Brooklyn. In New York City, if you did buy, if you did buy tickets, I'm just reminding people. They have a handful. They don't have a handful. Oh, you're talking about the walk-ups.
