Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a Rooster Teeth production. You were like bobbing. I was getting into it. It was at a perfect time where you weren't yelling yet. It just. And then it just stopped. And Nick's mouth just. He froze. I saw Michael. He gasped. Michael was about to inhale to start speaking. Yeah, dude. I wasn't even fucking around that time.
Starting point is 00:00:36 What happened? He still doesn't know. He has no idea. It's our audio engineer. He's a director. Where'd the audio go? Bring the audio back. What a shock. I don't like that. That's great. Never do that again. He's a director level. Where'd the audio go? Bring the audio back. What a shock.
Starting point is 00:00:46 I don't like that. That's great. Never do that again. Oh my God. Man, talk about pulling the rug from under you. You gave thumbs up. It's not back. It's still not back though.
Starting point is 00:00:55 What the fuck? Okay. Yeah! Jesus Christ. Welcome to Face Jam, the show where we try every new fast food creation to let you know if you need it, except if it's from Jackbox. You probably do, thanks to DoorDash and HelloFresh for making this show possible. I'm your host, Michael Jones.
Starting point is 00:01:09 As long as I'm Michael, I'm Jordan Sweers. Jordan, how are you? Good. Nice. Nice. Once again, the energy. Bit of a rocky start. Yeah, the energy is always, it's always wacky at the top.
Starting point is 00:01:22 Are we doing the intro first this time? Are we doing it at the top, or is this after the episode? Do you not know if we've recorded the episode or not? I know. Well, what they don't know is, at this point now, we've already recorded the episode, but Jordan and I recorded it separately, and then the audio was combined later, so he wasn't sure if I did my bit is what he was asking. A lot of people will wonder, how do they do the show like that?
Starting point is 00:01:46 You might even wonder, why do they do the show like that? And the answer is very complicated, and we won't bore you with it. Yeah, it's surprised how well it syncs up. Like we're in the same room at the same time. Yeah, I know. That's right, Jordan. That's right, Jordan. Today we're reviewing Wendy's Big Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger and Chickie Sandwich.
Starting point is 00:02:12 Spicy. Gotta be spicy. Spicy should be default. Yeah, and it is. For us, at least. We still just like, keep throwing that burger in there. I feel like that's the charity case. We're like, we'll get the burger.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Well, it comes in two. It's got two options, I guess. We'll try both. Yeah. And we're like, we'll maybe one day we'll go, oh, my God, the burger was better. Wendy's? But we won't. No.
Starting point is 00:02:39 We never will. No. In fact, every time we do it, we go, why don't they make the burger? It's true. They should be a chicken restaurant. They should just lean into it. Every time we tried to order it today, the guy couldn't believe it. No.
Starting point is 00:02:52 We're getting right into it. This was something else. He must have been floored the amount of times he asked me for hamburgers. Yeah. But the chicken sandwich is right here. I mean, he was fine with giving me the chicken sandwich. That was never a question. He didn't ask that ever.
Starting point is 00:03:06 It took so long for you to order four of the, you know, whatever, big bacon cheddar cheeseburgers, which there was a big sign behind him. You're like, that. He pointed at it himself many times. He's like that. You're like, I want four of those like that. And then four of those, but chicken. And I just kept hearing it over and over again like both of you kept saying it but it but it was like
Starting point is 00:03:32 you were stuck in a it was like the end of Doctor Strange it just kept happening over and over again yeah and uh I I walked away and Jordan goes this is embarrassing yeah we were kind of just standing like off to the side. Usually it takes 20 seconds to order it and then we go and sit down. This was taking too long and I was kind of like did not want to be associated with this anymore. You also said we don't know him.
Starting point is 00:03:58 I don't know what's going on. I took a picture at one point and it's three people hunched over the computer. What the picture didn't capture is I think it was because I took it a at one point. Oh, man. And it's three people hunched over the computer. And what the picture didn't capture is, I think it was because I took it a second too late, a fourth person thought about coming over and then turned around. They got halfway there and went, oh, they got it. And I was just like, what the hell is happening?
Starting point is 00:04:18 I was telling Michael the thing that his photo didn't capture well is that there was a giant fucking fly on the cash register that was just hanging out. And just spreading his arms. He was taking up as much space as possible. He was just like, four hamburgers? He couldn't believe it. I thought the fly was causing problems.
Starting point is 00:04:38 It was landing on the button. You thought the fly was reaching over and going, Frosties. Thanks, fly. And over and going, Frosties. Hit the button. Thanks, fly. And I'll say, just because we wanted to try them, we threw in some fries because they got new fries now. We didn't want the combos. They have the Coke Freestyle Machine thing. And I don't think I like the Coke Freestyle Machine thing anymore.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Why not? Because I think it gives you weak soda. You're not a fan of the syrup distribution? Yeah, I think it's very thin. It's very weak because they don't want you to use just Coke. They want it to be like grape-lime Coke. You get in there and there's like 19 different flavors. And I think that's what they're counting on.
Starting point is 00:05:22 There's always someone who's going to be like i'm going to use all the grape and then over the years they've probably had to adjust the software to like only give like a certain percentage so that they're not always at a grape who's looking at the data readouts because you know there's like data readouts for market research i don't know but it might be the same person looking at the data readouts about the mcdonald's ice cream machines. Yeah. I've heard about that. Because that was something.
Starting point is 00:05:48 In fact, there's even... Wait, I'm getting something. What are you getting? Do you hear that? No. Will it start playing and then stop? We can only know for sure once we hear it. Hang on.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Buttons are being pushed. Oh, there it is. Hang on. Hang on. It must be way over there. It's pretty low and far away. I'm sure it'll be much louder by the time it comes back. It's like drinking a LaCroix.
Starting point is 00:06:12 It's like an idea of something in the next room. The fuck is this? Alright, hold on. Breaking news. We gotta wait for the whole thing. It's done. And it's done. It's done because it was going It was half over by the time we heard it. Yeah, there was And it's done. It's done because it was going... It was half over by the time we heard it.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Yeah, there was 45 seconds before we even heard it, and then it started going... The news started over there, and it was just letting us know. It was just a guy writing and carrying papers. I got it. Okay, thank you, sir. He's finally here. He's winded. What the fuck is this? Alright, we got a Face Jam News update. 20 years after the world was brought to its knees by the McMillian scandal, the fast food conglomerate is once again making headlines.
Starting point is 00:06:50 This time it doesn't have to do with fixing a sweepstakes, but more so what they can't seem to fix. Whoa! Their broken-ass ice cream machines. Who wrote this, Gracie? Oh, you got rid of her. Yeah. Real quiet here today from the corner. So weird. It's such a fan favorite, that last episode. Hey, Gracie. Yeah, where's she at? Oh, you got right at her. Yeah. Real quiet here today from the corner. So weird. It's such a
Starting point is 00:07:05 fan favorite, that last episode. Hey, Gracie. Yeah, where's she at? Oh, interesting. I guess she couldn't make it today or ever again. Eric just kept saying, she's friends with Ariel. Yeah. I was like, what does that mean? A broken
Starting point is 00:07:20 ice cream machine at McDonald's is as iconic as their Big Mac. It has arguably made a greater cultural impact than any advertising campaign or overly friendly clown character. We all know the pain of going to McDonald's on a hot summer day, craving frozen confections to curb the onset of heat exhaustion, only to be met with a sign on the drive-thru menu reading, Ice Cream Machine Broken. And of course, clinging to that last bit of hope, you try to order an Oreo McFlurry anyway,
Starting point is 00:07:49 just in case the machine is working again, and the 16-year year old working their size and reiterates for the thousandth time that that day no the machine is not working this is the guy who didn't want to do his haiku last time but he wrote i mean he didn't do it enter a new hero the federal trade commission who has started a preliminary investigation. A new hero? His last show didn't get best. Why these dang things are never working? It turns out at the core of it it's an issue of franchisees being legally unable to work on them. Why are the machines so complicated? Is it intentional so that the manufacturer can
Starting point is 00:08:17 make more money on repair costs? What is McDonald's hiding? Will we have to invade Iraq again? Oh no. Hit it again, Nick. We're still in it we're hang on the news already broke oh we got more breaking news in the middle of this breaking news story what the fuck page two papers are shuffling he's already here okay hang on you have to let it play out. That's true. I like this part. It's getting louder. Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:51 He slowly tapped the button on the laptop. I saw him tapping the volume up button. Oh, my God. That's how you know the news is getting closer. I've just been handed a report. Grimace's identity revealed? Since his introduction into the McUniverse in 1972, people
Starting point is 00:09:07 have been wondering, what the heck even is Grimace? He's purple, he's round, he's squishy, but it's unclear how he fits into a line of characters such as Cheeseburger Mayor and Moon Man with sunglasses. Well, now we have an answer. According to Brian Bates, a manager of McDonald's in Canada, Grimace is in fact
Starting point is 00:09:23 an enormous taste bud but a taste bud nonetheless mcdonald's had no comment but has apparently hinted in the past that grimace may be taste bud in origin tweeting in 2012 he was quote the embodiment of a milkshake though others insist he is a taste bud no word on who these others are who are so insistent but whatever uh to answer the most burning question of why, Brian Bates said the purpose of Grimace is to show the food tastes good. That's the purpose? Well, let's think about what else they aren't telling us about Grimace.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Why is he purple? Why did he originally go by Evil Grimace and have four arms? This reporter suspects the culprit is retconning of the highest caliber, plain and simple. Wow. While the timing of this revelation is suspect, one could argue McDonald's is throwing Grimace under the bus in the midst of the ice cream machine scandal. It does really explain why Whataburger has yet to make Grimace their mascot, and really who can blame them.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Hang on, page three. What? This is breaking. What? And that's the news. Oh, boy. So is Grimace a... What is breaking. What? And that's the news. Oh, boy. So, what is a taste bud? So, we know what you did on Labor Day.
Starting point is 00:10:32 So, there was a lot of information. I did that while drinking Eric's coffee this morning. There was a lot of information about McDonald's, the restaurant we didn't go to today. Well, it wasn't that much information either. All I know is their machines are broken and I didn't learn anything else. We're going back to Iraq. I learned nothing more than the headline. Because they got the first we got the oil, then we need the soft serve.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Is that what's happening? Yep. I just think it's the ice cream in the ground. Operation Ice Creamy Freedom. The real story here is them throwing Grimace under the bus. Like trying to make a distraction. That's fine. They don't want us to know the truth. Kill the Grimace. I don't care. It's not theirs to kill. truth. Kill the Grimace. I don't care. It's not theirs to kill.
Starting point is 00:11:07 He's a taste bud. What does, who? I don't know. He might be. They should have made him orange. I mean, clearly. I'm shell shocked. He's not a taste bud. He's the embodiment of a milkshake.
Starting point is 00:11:19 You know, purple. What the fuck? Pear shaped and purple. I don't blame Whataburger for not doing anything with Grimace. What are you supposed to fucking do with that thing? This really does answer at least that question. And nothing else. Well, thank you for that breaking news report, Jordan.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Both of them. The news never sleeps. Do you think we're getting a haiku for this episode or no? Absolutely. Oh, okay. That's good. What? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:49 It's hard to say. How many times have we done Wendy's now? Like a hundred? This is the third time we've done Wendy's. First three-peat. This week. He meant this week. Damn.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Never thought I'd see the day. Oh, boy. Wendy's. Wendy's. Oh, Wendy's. Past experience with Wendy's. All right. Let's clear the air with this one.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Yeah. I'm a little pissed off at Wendy's. Yeah. They canned the pretzel pub after almost a year. I think it lasted about 10 months. And then there were signs. There were signs. On like the menu?
Starting point is 00:12:41 They weren't. That didn't come first, unfortunately. The first sign was I ordered it ahead of time and went to pick it up got it, got home, no pretzel bun everything else was there it was assembled and I went how the fuck do you fuck up without the pretzel bun
Starting point is 00:12:56 and then as the days went on I realized they were phasing it out and I was like oh my god they must have got rid of that first ingredient by ingredient and so they would still make the bare bones sandwich, which the pretzel bun, huge part. It's part of it.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Is there, it's the star. Do you think there's like a pretzel bun shortage? We're not aware of it. I think it was a manufactured shortage. I don't think, I don't think, um,
Starting point is 00:13:20 like OPEC withholding oil. Absolutely. Exactly like that. Okay. Um, like in 2020, not having ivermectin available to the general public when it could have stopped this whole thing before it even started. Right. Right. Let's wait almost two years and then find out.
Starting point is 00:13:38 All you got to do is rub some of this shit on your teeth and you're fine. Toothpaste style? Toothpaste style. It goes, it can go in either end from what I understand. Again, toothpaste style. Or you can just, you know, get the tablet. But if you get the
Starting point is 00:13:53 tablet, you miss out on the horse on the box. That's true. And I heard that I heard that they do, like there's flavors. So your horse will like it or your kids will like it. Or maybe you like it. Bubble gum? Now here's the thing. Apple flavor? Now, here's the thing. They got apple flavor? Oh, for the horses. Yeah, horses. Yeah, right. Because, again,
Starting point is 00:14:10 because it's horse medicine. Yeah. Is it green apple, though? Ooh, might be. I'm not sure. That's what I want to know. Horses probably like green apple. Or sour apple? Yeah. I like my horse medication like I like my blow pops. Sour apple! And with gum in the middle.
Starting point is 00:14:25 I hope there's, I'm chewing something. So, if you're like us and you don't like bugs, take a dewormer. I think that this was all a plot from Ivermectin
Starting point is 00:14:39 to be like, all these horses are so healthy. We have no, none of these horses are filled with bugs anymore. How do we move this product? How do we move all this product? We'll just tell people that they should take it, and then it went too far.
Starting point is 00:14:51 And now, everyone's taking it all the time. Parasites or no, people are taking it. Well, it could be preventative. Do we know? It's like the vest. You want to have it before. I hadn't even considered this. This might be preventative. Do we know? It's like the vest. You want to have it before. I hadn't even considered. This might be the worm.
Starting point is 00:15:09 The worm starts coming in and it gets bounced at the door. No, no, no. It's really, it is the vest of medicines. It's really. Wow. Yep. And so that ties in perfectly with the pretzel pub. Is that what we were talking about?
Starting point is 00:15:24 That's what we were talking about. And I'm mad. And I don't want to. I take Z-Packs. It's fine. I don't want to go to Wendy's now. To be fair. You don't have anything you want.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Well, like I used to go to Wendy's, right? And I'd get the spicy chicken sandwich. That's why I would go. And then the pretzel pub came out and it changed the world forever there was not only nothing else to get but I would drop everything to go get it and now it feels like a piece
Starting point is 00:15:53 has been ripped from me and I'm like what's the point of even going if I can't get this sandwich fuck you Wendy's you motherfucker yeah because the thing that they replaced it like the first thing that they had that was like the new thing but then that's when we learned that like the pretzel pub was sticking around is that jalapeno
Starting point is 00:16:10 popper sandwich and I've had that like I think like twice and it's just like it's fine. I mean that came out a while ago they had both of those. It's still there then they came out with the barbecue bacon burger the real I'll say in my opinion,
Starting point is 00:16:25 pretzel pub killer is this thing we're eating today. It really just seems like they made room for it. They cleared the way for the big bacon cheddar cheeseburger, and I was like, I don't know, big bacon cheddar cheeseburger. You got a hell of a fucking gap to fill, you piece of shit. Fuck you. But why make the pub burger a permanent fixture on the menu if you're just going to kill it?
Starting point is 00:16:45 To piss me off. Yeah, I think it's just specifically to piss me off. That's it. They gave us the win, and we were like, finally, we did it. We're heroes. Yeah, dude. I mean, we're still heroes, but, you know. Obviously.
Starting point is 00:16:58 But now they're just making us look silly. I'll be honest. They became the villains. Wow. This is the arc. Honestly, Dave Thomas would never... I'll just say it. It's probably a good thing he's gone.
Starting point is 00:17:13 He's lucky he's gone. Look what happened. No. No, you're right. You're right. Look what happened without Dave around to be a father figure to Wendy. Look what she's become. Look what you did. Dave is lucky.
Starting point is 00:17:29 You want to say, do you think your father would be proud of you for this? And I'm shaking the pretzel pub, shaking it in my hand going, what were you thinking? It's the one that you have in your freezer. What were you thinking? It's the one that you said. I sniff it. Yeah. I can never eat it.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Which also leads me to, have you seen that Wendy's chair? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's kind of like a beanbag looking chair. But it comes back around and like gives you a wig. Yeah. It's got a spine that bends and droops. And so, yeah, you like.
Starting point is 00:18:01 You look like a. Have you not seen this? You end up looking like a brain slug. Yeah. You position your head under it and it's supposed to give you like a Wendy's wig. But also it's not adjustable. And so I imagine it's very high. You got to do a lot of work to make it to make it look good.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Yeah. He already found. And he's. Yeah. So where's ours? How is that comfortable? Give give them to us. Wait, wait. You're saying that Wendy's is the villain, but you want the chair? Yeah. yeah so where's ours? how is that comfortable? give them to us wait wait
Starting point is 00:18:26 you're saying that Wendy's is the villain but you want the chair? yeah oh well this is how they can repent yeah they can look how comfortable that guy looks
Starting point is 00:18:34 they can start by sending us four chairs send us four chairs well that's a start yeah that's how you open you open dialogue with chairs did you see this?
Starting point is 00:18:44 one of the uses is Start a podcast Guess what? Continue a podcast Make the podcast They just wanted us to talk about it And here we are You evil fucks You know what? I'm going on their discord
Starting point is 00:18:58 I'm gonna have a word As soon as I find a link to it As soon as someone invites me to it. You should make your PFP the pretzel pub sandwich and see if you get banned. See if you get banned right away. They won't even let you in. Yeah, they're like, all right, troublemaker here. This guy's coming in to start trouble.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Trying to bury me. And they're like, have you tried the bacon cheddar cheeseburger? And then you just start spamming poop emojis. Oh, no. Really sticking to them. Yeah, but you do that at the Jack in the Box one and they're like for it. They love it. Yeah, they think that's cool. It's where you spam the poop emojis and they just keep putting the
Starting point is 00:19:31 mouth with the tongue. They go, new menu item? It's dark in here. Where is everyone? And that's our past experience with the restaurant. Yep. Yep.
Starting point is 00:19:48 That felt also like wetting our whistle, to be honest. No, I think we wet it. We are about 20 minutes in at this point. I feel like you took that. Yeah, I think there's a lot of wetting whistles with news, if I had to be honest. We learned about Grimace and his taste bud and his wet little Grimace or whatever. You guys want a haiku? You could probably slide that whistle anywhere.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Oh, my God. You got to. haiku? You could probably slide that muscle anywhere. Oh my God. You got to... It's called Wendy's 2. Okay. This is the third one, but okay. This is the second haiku. You know what? You know what?
Starting point is 00:20:15 You're right. Salient point, Jordan. This guy doesn't know how Roman numerals work. Ode to pub sandwich. Here one day and gone the next. Fleeting is our lives. Wait. I felt like that was only two lines.
Starting point is 00:20:30 What was the first line? Ode to Pub Sandwich. Oh, I thought that was the title of the haiku. I literally said this one was called Wendy's 2. Yeah, he did. He did say the title, and then you even questioned it. I thought maybe it was a Rocky and Bo Winkle situation where there's two titles. I thought that's what it was.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Hey, you wanted it back. Yeah, it'll be interesting when I have to tell people about my midlife crisis being the pub taken away. Suddenly life seems much more fragile. I know, right? Walking listlessly from room to room. You don't know
Starting point is 00:21:01 until it's gone. Even though there's no regrets, I feel like we ate that thing as much as humanly possible. I wish we would have eaten it more. There are people that are like, I didn't try it. And I'm just like, don't talk to me.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Honestly, don't like keep it to your fucking self if you never tried it. I don't want to hear it. They're lucky because they didn't lose it. I don't want to hear that nonsense. I only had 10 months. There are plenty of other spicy chicken sandwiches in the street. How was I supposed to make it down the street? You make me sick.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Fucking disgusting little pigs. You're in the pig kingdom, so get out. Bugs only. Fuck off. Although we've ostracized the worms. The worms, yeah. Heartworms have no place here either.
Starting point is 00:21:48 No heartworms. We're all taking horse medicine. We're big and strong like horses. That's all. We're just big and strong like horses. Yeah, absolutely. Let's get on to some facts. Let's do it.
Starting point is 00:22:00 Our previous Little Caesars episode was released July 6, 2021. Yeah, I missed that one. Where we ate the bourbon bacon cheeseburger. It receives an average score of 76.75, which is not as high as the pretzel puff cheeseburger. I, uh, when I duplicated, I missed that one. See, what happened was I drank some of his coffee writing the news. When I was chasing Jordan around for my coffee, that's where I had stopped and I came back
Starting point is 00:22:31 and I went, well, that must be where I am. Oh, boy. Speaking of the pretzel pub chicken sandwich, Wendy's has become a hero denier by removing the pretzel pub from its regular menu, thus undercutting everything this podcast has worked for. We're back at square one. Yeah. And it's a square burger. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:22:52 Man, it's like a square. Circle gets the square. All right. When I, this is Eric, when I went to order the pretzel pub chicken sandwich a couple of days ago, the woman taking my order was confused and eventually gave me an Asiago chicken sandwich, which was not what I ordered. And now I have reason to believe that Wendy's is actively working to sabotage this podcast. Asiago chicken of all the things?
Starting point is 00:23:24 Yeah. There's even a new chicken sandwich and you gave me an Asiago chicken, of all the things. Yeah. There's even a new chicken sandwich, and you gave me an Asiago? I even, a couple times when the pub was around, I got that chicken popper one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's like, they're really working against us. It's not like it hasn't been gone that long. No. Like, did she just start working here?
Starting point is 00:23:38 No, I think what they did was- It's a full-scale mind wipe, Jordan. That's what I was going to say. I don't believe in what ever existed. They got men in black. They did. It was old school, though. They sat him down in the room and they just spun a wheel.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Wow. They got the worms in the movie and they wiped their mind. Tommy Lee Jones is there. He's the big worm. He's the big worm. That's what they call him. TLJ, the big worm. That's what he call him. TLJ, the big worm. Mm-hmm. That's what he's known as.
Starting point is 00:24:08 The Asiago chicken sandwich is not very good. It's just okay. I mean, it's their chicken, so it's fine. No. I mean, it's their chicken, so it's fine. But how's the Asiago? I don't know what the Asiago is supposed to be. It's fun to say, though.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Yeah, but because it just had like a- As we go. It just had like a mayonnaise kind of on it. It was like whack. I don't know. That is whack. Wendy's also recently announced that they are changing their French fry recipe, stating that, quote, the new French fries have been redesigned to stay hot and crispy for up to
Starting point is 00:24:37 30 minutes after being taken out of the fryer, which is better than their old recipe where the fries were designed to not be very good at all. Their fries were fine. They weren't the worst fries, but they were not good fries. They weren't Burger King bad, but I don't think that they were very good. No, I don't think anything can be Burger King bad. They weren't good fries. Maybe like In-N-Out.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Yeah. Well, who knows? Yeah. I always thought they were underrated. Only one way to find out. What? Wendy's? You think Wendy's had underrated fries? Yeah. I always liked them. I thought they were a little underrated. Only one way to find out. What, Wendy's? You think Wendy's had underrated fries?
Starting point is 00:25:07 Yeah, I always liked them. I think they were perfectly rated. Yeah, low. Incredibly low. I would say, look at this, mid-low. Opinions coming together. What is the show about if not that? And we're not rating them, so we can talk about the fries. They're way better now.
Starting point is 00:25:20 They're absolutely better. They're way better. So we got the fries to try them. And Jordan was the first one. We all grabbed them. He took a bite and he went, those are the same fries. And I absolutely better. They're way better. So we got the fries to try them. And Jordan was the first one. We all grabbed them. He took a bite and he went, those are the same fries. I just went, you're wrong. This guy's wrong. He also won't listen to us when we're saying they're a different
Starting point is 00:25:34 shape. They are slightly different shape. They are a different shape. And then he scoffed like we wouldn't know. Yeah. The pretzel pub boys. The guys who went there 140 times. Who's 90% of text The guys who went there 140 times. 90% of text history is just pictures of a sandwich. It really is.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Just sandwich, sandwich, sandwich, sandwich, sandwich, sandwich, sandwich. It's just sandwiches back and forth broken up by, hey, do you want to hang out this weekend? Yeah, man. See you here. All right, cool. Sandwich, sandwich, sandwich, sandwich. And it was a vicious cycle because one would always make the other one get the sandwich one baguette the other every time
Starting point is 00:26:08 oh he's eating the sandwich I'm mad and then I would do this he would send it and I'd just go fuck and I'd order it on the app and I would go pick it up sounds like it's a gorgeous looking sandwich sounds like another restaurant could swoop in and be the hero if they just introduced the exact same thing yeah
Starting point is 00:26:23 who could do it with the chicken sandwich though And be the hero if they just introduce the exact same thing. Yeah. Who? Take the pretzels. Who could do it with the chicken sandwich, though? I don't know. Hard to say. Like a P. Terry situation? Or are we talking like global? Are we talking like bigger? Because Wendy's is the number two burger restaurant in the U.S.
Starting point is 00:26:37 I mean, Sonic has pretzels. Maybe just chop them up into a bun. Maybe reform them. I don't know how pretzels work but I'm just saying you started the whole thing with I don't know and then started giving ideas that way I can't be attacked yeah you're right
Starting point is 00:26:53 I don't know what I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about so here's my plan you question it you're an idiot alright and finally the last of the first three, Pete. In June of this year, Wendy's saw its stock sharply rise due to r slash Wall Street bets claiming it is, quote, the perfect stock for this sub only to have the stock quickly fall.
Starting point is 00:27:20 This was all part of the plan and actually very smart, according to the weird co-worker you have that you only see in virtual meetings now. So sometimes you forget he even exists. I was going to make fun of people that work at GameStop and then I went, no, GameStop was the original thing. Right. Yeah. No. It's just people who.
Starting point is 00:27:39 And some people made money on that. Yeah. Like a lot of money. Right. Some people. Very few people. Most people didn't. No. Most people made money on that. Yeah. Like a lot of money. Right. Some people. Very few people. Most people didn't. No.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Most people are still on. The people who made money don't go to the sub anymore. The people still on that sub are trying to make the money. The people who are upvoting and going, diamond hands, diamond hands. Those are the people who work at Hot Topic and Spencer's Gifts right now. So, sorry guys. Well, they're what we call in America a temporarily embarrassed millionaire. That's true.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Whoa. I call them forever embarrassing human people. They are... I agree with that. I don't think they're... I'm not a stock guy. You're a stocky guy. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. I'm not a stock guy. You're a stocky guy. Oh, absolutely. I'm a strong, round guy.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Kind of like Grimace. Very much like Grimace. People say I'm decently tasting. It's embodiment of a milkshake. But if I were to go in on some sort of stock, I'd probably buy more than four. Yeah, no. Just in any case. But I guess the problem is when your discretionary income is $112, that's really all you've got to play with.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Just throw whatever you can at it. You can't buy the limited edition Call of Duty that comes with the statue. You have to just, I guess, spend it on three stocks and go, diamond hands, Ape Strong together, and then hope that everyone makes you rich. I don't even know what you're saying. That's how it works. I'm saying I'm glad. Yeah. Should I invest in diamond hands?
Starting point is 00:29:15 Is this where I become a stock guy? How's ivermectin? Can I put money into that? It's way up. Here's the thing. You give me the money. Oh no, I've been buying ivermectin. I should be buying ivermectin stocks.
Starting point is 00:29:30 You give me the money. Does that still get the worms out? Can I eat the stocks? Yeah, if you get the stocks, you print out the paper and you eat the stocks and the worms go, Oh no, he's a broker and this guy he knows. He's one of the owners. And they get out. The diamond hands come in and just
Starting point is 00:29:45 wring the worms. Then you have ringworms. Yeah, but you don't have worms. It's true. It's just different. Don't worry about it. That's it. Did you learn a lot? I learned that apparently we're being sabotaged.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Yeah. No, I knew that before the fact sheet. See? I knew that before the fact sheet. See? I knew that the second I got to Wendy's and they didn't sell the pub burger anymore. And like when your child goes missing and you know they're dead, but you're just like, no, they'll turn up. They'll turn up. You do the press conferences where you're like, Billy, if you're out there.
Starting point is 00:30:23 And you go, bro, Billy's dead. He's in the ground or he's in the water. He's in a lake or something. That was me when I went to Wendy's, and they were temporarily out of it because they just took random stickers and put it on the board. But if you read them, it was like a promotional sticker.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Yeah. And it didn't signify it was out, but you got the gist that they were like, we don't have this. I mean, frankly, it's a cover-up. It's a cover-up. Then I went back two days later, and they had rolled out the official, fuck off, we don't have this anymore. And that's like getting the call saying we found the body.
Starting point is 00:30:54 Yeah. Oh, no. So I held out hope foolishly. Stanley Tucci did it the whole time. You fucking knew it. You knew it was the tail. That's a real. The rhino?
Starting point is 00:31:03 You knew it was the, no, that's Paul Giamatti. That's what you said. No, I said Stanley Tucci. They're different human men. White? Yeah. Short? Same guy.
Starting point is 00:31:15 Both called the Rhino? By me? Oh, oh. You thought I was talking about Spider-Man. Uh-huh. Yeah. No, no, no. That's his nickname.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Oh, you call Stanley Tucci the rhino? I don't. I've just heard. Stanley the rhino Tucci? Yeah. That's awesome. Remember in Captain America, they kept calling him the rhino when he was making the serum for me? I mean, Steve Rogers.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Right? Right? right i think this picture it's picture the tooch inside of a giant rhino costume going hmm interesting oh stanley tucci has a show on hbo max where he just goes across like italy and it's just called finding italy but i think he's just there. So he found it, I guess. Yeah, it was like. He found Italy? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:07 He wanted to go on vacation, but he was like, I bet I can swindle someone to pay for this. I wonder how I can get through Italy without paying much money. That's my Stanley Tucci. Incredible. Thank you. Honestly. They call me the rhino. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Is there a rhino in here? Stronger than a horse. I feel like. What do you use to deworm a rhino? Just. Is there a rhino in here? Stronger than a horse. I feel like he... What do you use to deworm a rhino? Just out of curiosity. Way more ivermectin? Is it just more? Yeah, or a very, very healthy horse.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Right, I was going to say a whole horse. He's a horse, yeah. Yeah. You think you grind the horse... You feed the horse ivermectin, then you grind it down the paste. I'm going to start eating horses just to be safe. Just in case the tooch comes
Starting point is 00:32:46 around. There's a way we can get involved with Stanley Tucci with HBO Max the way we did with Selena and Chef. In Italy? We just got to talk about it. Alright. Put it on your vision board. I mean I just started talking about it. You think we can just get it going?
Starting point is 00:33:01 I want to say something like tickling my toochie. What does it mean? You know what I mean? something like tickling my toochie. What does it mean? You know what I mean? Like that tickles my tooch. Do you think? And then it's just us tickling Stanley toochie. Right.
Starting point is 00:33:14 But you are, should you tickle a rhino? Now I'm concerned. You mess with the rhino, you get the horn. Oh, fuck. Oh man. Anyway, I'm, I'm gotta, I gotta, I gotta keep working on this. Okay. I gotta see how we can get the Tucci involved.
Starting point is 00:33:27 If anyone knows Stanley Tucci, he's like your uncle. Can you let us know? That'd be great. Thank you. Just see if he'll come on. Fun fact, he's married to Emily Blunt's sister. So he's like brother-in-law with John Kaczynski. Wow.
Starting point is 00:33:40 So there's the office connection. Damn. Technically, he's not brother-in-law with him He's sister-in-law with Emily Blunt And that's it The in-law doesn't extend to the husband Yeah they're not related They hate each other
Starting point is 00:33:54 Emily Blunt is his sister-in-law Her husband doesn't become his brother-in-law Krasinski's natural enemy is the rhino What would you call him? Husband-in-law? I don't think there's a... I think it's just my sister-in-law's husband. Yeah, but that's so wordy.
Starting point is 00:34:09 I'm just saying. We should come up with a word for that. It's got to stop somewhere, right? No, I think it needs to keep going. I think it should never stop. Sister-in-law's husband's cousin. Is that your husband-in-law's cousin's in-law? My neighbor's uncle's dog works at Nintendo.
Starting point is 00:34:21 Yeah. I think John Krasinski should say that Stanley Tucci is his brother. I think he should just say he's his son. Yep. Wow. No, they're the same age. He's short enough. Yeah, but the height difference alone. Yeah. This is little Stanley. The classic the rhino. This is little
Starting point is 00:34:36 Stanley the rhino. Did you know he actually played the monsters in Quiet Place? You just didn't see him. in Quiet Place. You just didn't see him. When when Johnny Krasinski
Starting point is 00:34:51 gets gored to death at the end you can actually hear him say hey bro. And he goes I'm technically not your brother. You're my wife's brother-in-law.
Starting point is 00:35:08 And he're just like, this is why I have to do this. I'll be honest, weird casting for the monsters. Weird to have the two. I'll take it. I like it. Good job. Couldn't tell it was him until the end of the movie, but the second one starts and it's Stanley Tucci everywhere. Everywhere.
Starting point is 00:35:23 I remember screaming, did Stanley Tucci just hit that car? Was that a rhino? No, that was Stanley Tucci everywhere. Everywhere. I remember screaming, did Stanley Tucci just hit that car? Was that a rhino? No, that was Stanley Tucci. Oh, my God. Rhinos hate feedback. You know, when we first started talking about Stanley Tucci didn't think it would go this long you never know where we're gonna go
Starting point is 00:35:53 yep to the winding road we walk yeah that's it we spat alright yeah no kidding let's get into some explanations about this food uh wendy's big bacon cheddar cheeseburger a quarter pound asterisk of fresh never frozen beef covered in a creamy cheddar cheese and bacon jam topped with applewood smoked bacon crispy onions and a slice of american cheese all on a pillow soft toasted cheddar bun we're calling it our cheesy bacon-y masterpiece but
Starting point is 00:36:31 you could just call it delicious if you want i'm not calling it that yeah i'm not gonna i'll call it by its i'll call it by its christian name thank you the name dave thomas handed down. Dave Thomas Funder. Oh yeah, we were talking about that. Did you see that? There were, above one of the seats, there's a quote from Dave Thomas and then it says Dave Thomas and it said founder but somebody ripped off the O so it just says Dave Thomas Funder.
Starting point is 00:36:58 Which, to be fair, still tracks. Everyone in that Wendy's went, oh, we have to replace the Funder. Maybe he did it. Do you think Dave Thomas came? Maybe he said, think of me as a funder, not a founder. I put the fun in founder. Until his evil daughter took over. Oh, no. Now Wendy rules with an iron fist.
Starting point is 00:37:14 And no pretzels. For my first decree. Oh, no. I banish all pretzels from my kingdom. And then they fall into a realm. It sucks. The shadow realm. Oh, no. I banish all pretzels from my kingdom. And then they fall into a realm. It sucks. The shadow realm. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Wendy's Big Bacon Cheddar Chicken Sandwich. A juicy, lightly breaded chicken breast covered in creamy cheddar cheese and bacon jam topped with applewood smoked bacon, crispy onions, sliced American cheese on it. Pillow soft toasted cheddar bun. If the world runs out of bacon and cheese, we'll take the blame. What about pretzels, huh? What about pretzels? Look. What if we run out of bacon and cheese, we'll take the blame. What about pretzels, huh? What about pretzels? What if we run out of pretzels? They're teasing us here.
Starting point is 00:37:50 That's fucked up. Yeah, I'm getting hot and bothered. I just don't know what we did to anger Wendy's. Yeah, we only spoke positively. It's one of my favorite fast food restaurants, and that's a very short list. It was. My only assumption is we helped them out too much.
Starting point is 00:38:08 They weren't prepared for the positive endorsement. And people are trying to keep us at arm's length. Well, here's the thing. I think they don't want to pop by a situation where people start stabbing each other over the pretzel pubs. So they decided
Starting point is 00:38:24 fuck, we're running out. Instead of just having low inventory, we got to just cancel it. Other than just have it and be out of it. They didn't even cancel it. It just slowly, slowly died. No, I mean, they canceled it. What's up? Nothing.
Starting point is 00:38:41 Nothing. Oh, okay. Something's happening. Nick, I'll have you know, in his attempt to cross something out, he's just highlighted it. He's just used a highlighter to emphasize
Starting point is 00:38:55 what and where to read. That's fine. Don't worry about it. But we haven't gotten through the press material yet. Let's get through this real quick What do you mean a quote as the home of the number one bacon cheeseburger? Asterisk I don't know that asterisk was connected to nothing on this quote You know you follow it. It's like when we say number one we mean in our hearts
Starting point is 00:39:22 We had a desire to dial up what we do best and create a flavorful pub fit pop up there you already have I'm saying already created a dumb fuck yep oh that's Nick dude fucking dude he's crumpling paper and then and then furiously looked for the trash can and you want to throw on the floor I picked it up threw it in again. He's angry, but he's not angry enough to litter. Let me just pause right here. I did not
Starting point is 00:39:51 care about the pub scene. Not at all. No, you were a deviant. I couldn't care less that it's gone. You're the reason it's gone so low. Michael gave it a 115. Is that true? Yeah, you gave, yeah. That doesn't seem legal. Someone should have stopped me.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Maybe someone tried. Where was the rhino? Stanley Ducci's here to enforce the rules. He's the referee. He comes in as the rhino and can't score it that high. Oh, no. Yeah, you don't give a shit about it,
Starting point is 00:40:26 but they're teasing. They're rubbing your fucking face. That's crazy. Yeah, this was just kind of funny. Yeah. And like, man, you guys are mad. Ha, ha, ha. But I'm starting to get offended myself.
Starting point is 00:40:36 They're making fun of you as a hero. Yeah, they're calling into question just us as an establishment. Pathetic. Wendy's, why? I didn't want you to do this. They wanted to create a flavorful pub-style, pub-fair-style sandwich featuring more bacon, more cheddar, and more innovation.
Starting point is 00:40:54 Nope. More innovation than a pretzel? Yeah. What the fuck? You put cheese on the bun. Look in the mirror, Wendy's. You had it already. You know who we have to blame for this?
Starting point is 00:41:02 John Lee, vice president of culinary innovation at the Wendy's company. Man, I want that job. The result is an unexpected, totally unexpected, melt-in-your-mouth sandwich with huge craft flavors that deliver on our promise of always being craveable and affordable. They did it again with craft. The other one had craft beer. Cheese. It's fucked up. The hints are there.
Starting point is 00:41:24 It's just, you know, you read between the lines, it says, fuck Face Jam. We got them. Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you. Anyone who listens to their podcast, make sure you keep tweeting at Eric that you can't get it anymore. Yeah, I think we talked about it because it's not them eliminating it is what you were saying earlier. It's been a slow roll and it's not at every restaurant all at once it is like it's been going away for months it has been because it because i heard whispers of it before it hit here and then we lost it and now people are still finding out like as of recording finding out finding out yep so you're gonna activate the tucci he's gonna hear
Starting point is 00:42:00 my tucci's tingling i'm telling you it's you, it's a good name. It's a good show. I just, it's, why would you get rid of like your number one sandwich? I don't know. I don't know. We formed a lot of enemies along the way here. Some definitely warranted Drowning Box. But this one is like, I don't want to hate Wendy's, but they're making it hard. That's the thing, right?
Starting point is 00:42:28 To defend them. Jack in the Box made me angry. This made me depressed. Yeah. You know what I mean? He was just like, oh, do you want to go to Wendy's? And you're like, no. Like, I'm not going to get.
Starting point is 00:42:39 I got a little heated in this podcast, okay? But in general, I'm just disappointed. When they started rubbing it in our face and we ate essentially what I was calling the Kingslayer. Yes, that's what the cheddar the big bacon cheddar sandwich is. It's the Kingslayer. You've slain
Starting point is 00:42:57 the king. You've committed regicide to bring in this sandwich. On the day of his wedding. Will it compete? My thought was there's no way. There's no of his wedding. Will it compete? My thought was, there's no way. There's no way. Before I ate it, I thought, there's no way they'll still be as good. We'll find out soon.
Starting point is 00:43:13 They could have had both. Why? Why choose? Add another one. We can get into it right now. We can talk about getting the food. We can just get right into reviewing the food. What did Eric think about getting the food? The Little Caesars we ordered from always knocks it out of the park. We can just go right into reviewing the food. What did Eric think about getting the food? The Little Caesars we ordered from always knocks it
Starting point is 00:43:26 out of the park. Thanks, Little C's. Lil' C's. Well, so... Is that what it said last week? I don't remember that. I'm sure it did. It did.
Starting point is 00:43:34 And you just didn't read it. Don't worry. Because this is the part, I think, where you guys... This is about where I check out, usually. This is where you guys
Starting point is 00:43:41 couldn't wait. I'm done after the fact. I don't read anything ever after that. I forget every episode that there's the whole garbage at the end. The rest of it?
Starting point is 00:43:51 There was something down here he wanted us to talk about something and I thought he was highlighting that and instead he highlighted a mistake he made. That's not highlighting.
Starting point is 00:43:59 It's a highlighter. I crossed it out. Why is it green then? When you can read it even better and it's a color. No, I crossed it out. That's the very definition of a highlight.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Do you think when Stanley Tucci becomes the rhino, he says, welcome to the jungle. Here comes the stampede. Uh-oh. But it's just him? It's just him. When we were picturing him as the rhino, are we picturing him in the mechanical suit thing
Starting point is 00:44:28 or as the 1960s cartoon where he's in a green suit? I'm just thinking of an actual rhino is what I'm picturing him. Like almost in an anamorphs type scenario. Oh. Whoa. Maybe still the head of Stanley Tucci with a horn coming out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that.
Starting point is 00:44:49 I was picturing like that 90s cartoon. Like, you know, like the big, he looks kind of like the juggernaut, like the big, big one. Yeah, right. But it's that size. Oh, sure. And then Stanley Tucci, his regular size is inside of that costume. So it's just big and drapey on him. Oh.
Starting point is 00:45:01 And he goes like. Yeah. He's kind of like walking around. The head hole is like twice the size, but his head is sticking out of it. And he goes, the head hole is like twice the size, but his head is sticking out of it. And he goes, hmm, behave. Whoa. Girdle your loins. So what rhino were you picturing?
Starting point is 00:45:15 I was the really, I think it's the one from like the 60s. And I think it's the same thing where it's like a onesie. Yeah. And then just the guy's head. Yeah, guy's head. But you think it fits. Yeah, I was picturing And then just the guy's head. Yeah, guy's head. Yeah, but you think it fits.
Starting point is 00:45:25 Yeah, I was picturing it fit because, you know, he's like, he's really strong. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like kind of shredded. Just something that really accentuates all his subtleties. Oh, so you're like, he was. He was, oh, I just, I like the idea. I like the idea of it being too big for him. I think he's just big.
Starting point is 00:45:39 He can't see his hands. He's like, oh, my daddy's clothes. Like, he looked pretty, like, he was pretty big in Shoot Em Up. Was he in Shoot Em Up? Yeah, he was the bad guy. Was he really? Uh-huh. I want daddy's clothes. He was pretty big in Shoot Em Up. Was he in Shoot Em Up? Yeah, he was the bad guy. Was he really? Uh-huh. I don't remember that.
Starting point is 00:45:49 That's okay. It was Clive Owen. Yeah, no, I remember that. Monica Bellucci. Huh. I don't remember him being the bad guy. Did you say Monica Blue Cheese? No, Monica Lewinsky.
Starting point is 00:45:59 No. Yeah, it was Clive Owen. Shoot Em Up was Stanley Tucci, Clive Owen, and Monica Lewinsky. Wait, isn't Clive Owen playing Bill Clinton in that? Yeah, and was Clive Owen. Shoot him up with Stanley Tucci, Clive Owen, and Monica Lewinsky. Wait, isn't Clive Owen playing Bill Clinton in that? Yeah, and this was... Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:46:12 Are we going to see his dick? We're getting impeached. Are we going to see his dick? Is he taking it out? Fingers crossed. Is he going to go... Classic Clive. Is he going to go, bleh?
Starting point is 00:46:23 Classic Clive. He's like looking at the outfit and he's like, I don't see any stains. And he bites a carrot and his vision gets better. He goes, oh, shit. My jizz. Eh, leave it. There you go. No one will know what it is. It'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:46:42 I'll just say it's toothpaste. I'll say it's ivermectin and it got everywhere. Anyway, the food. The food, though. Okay. So, yeah, we got the burger. We got the chicken sandwich. We got the spicy chicken sandwich, which I wanted to say the show started out with us being on opposite ends of the spectrum of liking fast food and stuff.
Starting point is 00:47:07 And I thought there wasn't going to be a whole lot of one of us convincing the other of something. But one thing you've always said that has won me over now is heroes. Well, that that goes without saying. That was already obvious. You really took that to heart. I really ran with that one. I really need I need the self-esteem boost. already obvious you really took that to heart i really ran with that one i really needed i needed a self-esteem boost michael said we're heroes uh it's that the cheeseburger should be the default
Starting point is 00:47:34 and i agree with that applying to the spicy chicken sure yeah that's the default yeah you subtract from there right and so that's that's why i think whenever we get the chicken sandwich, it needs to be spicy. But I took a bite of the hamburger first, and knowing that that one was going to be inferior to the spicy chicken version, I took about two bites and started feeling a little nauseous.
Starting point is 00:47:57 So I decided, that's about enough of that. Jesus, wow. There was something really weird. It smelled weird. I don't know what it was. It smelled like Wendy's. Yeah. I think I just don't like their burgers. That was probably the pub fair style.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Oh, yeah. It was. Yeah. Jordan thought he was at the pub. They put an E at the end. I opened it together. All right. You got it.
Starting point is 00:48:23 I got it. No, no, no. You're doing great. You're just not laughing yet. There it is. Yep. But yeah, so then I went to the chicken sandwich. And the cheese on the bun is interesting.
Starting point is 00:48:39 It's not a pretzel bun. That is the one thing I liked about the pretzel pub. Oh, you liked the best part. Interesting. Yeah. Everything else in the middle i could done without i did like the bun though but like i didn't get any anything special about the flavor or you know i got the spicy chicken which i love i would have been happy with just a spicy chicken sandwich which is what i usually get i don't think i needed the bacon or the bacon jam, which I didn't. Did anyone?
Starting point is 00:49:08 I don't know where it began. Where is it? I don't know. At no point did I go, oh, the bacon jam. I think that's where Nick looked at it and went, is this pimento cheese? And it's like, no, that's bacon jam. Wow. That is cheap. You remembered pimento.
Starting point is 00:49:24 He said something and I went I guarantee you it's not Is this pimento? Is this Asiago? No it isn't It's fucking yellow Is jam a sauce? I don't know
Starting point is 00:49:37 I think bacon jam is probably a sauce What else would it be? Jam Bringing us back to the question Is jam sauce? Jam is probably a sauce, right? What else would it be? Jam. That's, I don't, hmm. Bringing us back to the question, is jam sauce? Yeah, I don't, it's weird. I don't think of bacon jam as jam jam. Right.
Starting point is 00:49:52 I think they're just fucking around with the word jam. Like us. Oh. He got it. Yeah. He's a big fan of it, apparently. It was a revelation. I have to go.
Starting point is 00:50:09 As usual, having to rate both of them. It's going to be way down a little bit by the hamburger. Way down. I thought the chicken version was better, but overall average. It's getting a 39.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Wow. Okay. Harsh. And some of that has to do with how pissed off I am at Wendy's. Yeah, I get that. Before Michael gets to the rating, I think what you're saying about the cheeseburger being default
Starting point is 00:50:33 and the spicy chicken at Wendy's should be the default. There are so many people that get the hamburger, it's fucking crazy. It's insane that people are getting the hamburger. When you have that chicken
Starting point is 00:50:43 at that quality, at that flavor, at that taste. I don't know how they nailed it. They caught lightning in a bottle. They really did. It is the thing they do better, I think, than anyone else. Yes. And there's people getting the cheeseburger. That's the reason we get the cheeseburger here also.
Starting point is 00:50:58 I could be happy never eating it again. I agree. The cheeseburger. Yes. But it is, at Wendy's, they push that. Hey, it's the number one. It is. The cheeseburger. Yes. But it is, at Wendy's, they push that. Hey, it's the number one. It is.
Starting point is 00:51:08 It must sell the most. That's their fucking thing. Well, I meant menu number. They are all about like. Maybe that's what the answer is. Number one on our menu. You look at the combo numbers. Technically, it's number one.
Starting point is 00:51:23 Yeah. I mean, that's the reason we get the cheeseburger also when we go to this place. The chicken's better. Chicken is better. Hamburger sucks. I'm a big fan of cheese.
Starting point is 00:51:32 Love me some cheese, right? Chicken is very middle of the road. Sometimes it comes with cheese, sometimes it doesn't, you know? Combining chicken and cheese. You can get a lot of places where the chicken sandwich doesn't have cheese on it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:46 Right. And I think even Wendy's like the standard chicken sandwich doesn't have cheese. But if you, you know, like this combo is, it's not like a crazy concoction. It's offered with chicken has cheese. I think that it's like, you're a maniac if you get a hamburger, right? If you don't get cheese on a burger, something wrong with you. I can see not getting cheese on chicken. I prefer it, but it makes much more sense than a burger.
Starting point is 00:52:09 But the cheese on this was just weird. The cheese bun, I don't know how to describe it. It's cheddar-y, but it's a fucking bun. It's so weird. They cooked it into it. Yeah. But like- It's kind of reminiscent-
Starting point is 00:52:22 Very poorly. Part of it was overhanging on mine and it tore off. It looked like it's kind of very poorly like part of it was like overhanging on mine. Yes like tore off It's like it's like it's like melted plastic of Like when you get the cheese bread sub sandwich, right? Oh, yeah But it's more intense it felt like powdery right like it's more intense and It's like more of the food right right? Like, I don't know. Usually a sub sandwich, there's so many other components, but the bread on the bun, it just felt more impactful.
Starting point is 00:52:51 And it was like, oh, this is weird. It like packed more flavor. Right. The cheddar cheese with the American cheese with the non-cheese jam, it was all very weird. And I don't know how- The cheese in there is like little tiny shredded cheese I don't know how to describe it
Starting point is 00:53:11 it didn't it was a weird cheese it wasn't like oh my god this is cheesy and I love it all the other shit's fine I will say I do love the crispy onions at Wendy's I feel like that was probably my second favorite thing on the pretzel pub was those crispy onions.
Starting point is 00:53:29 I think they should be on every sandwich. But yeah, it just tasted like, okay, spicy chicken. Crispy onions are good. Bacon. Didn't even notice the bacon jam. And the cheese is weird. This is weird tasting cheese. And you've destroyed everything to make this.
Starting point is 00:53:47 At what cost? What did it cost? At least Thanos got all the Infinity Stones. Wendy's got this sandwich. Right? Like you killed your daughter, the pretzel pup sandwich, for this? Yep. You pushed her off a cliff or whatever the fuck you did?
Starting point is 00:54:01 Terrible. This is crazy. Should have just pushed the robot. Should have pushed the fucking robot. She would have been fine. Yeah. I'm just like... The robot is the pretzel,
Starting point is 00:54:11 is the jalapeno popper. That's the popper. Oh, yeah. Sacrifice that one. It's like Android, right? Yeah, that's the Karen Gillian robot. I don't think you could get away with just a robot
Starting point is 00:54:20 because it wouldn't count. But she's a cyborg. She's got something going on. Yeah, as long as the one eye is good Why did they call the androids and Dragon Ball Z androids when they were clearly cyborgs just fucking stupid? Okay? Yeah? Yeah I gotta go with Michael. I'm with you there. You're right, bro. They were straight-up people They were yeah grab two people and added parts and then said and that's a cyborg. Yeah, right? They called them. Maybe they were just did want to step on cyborg zero zero nines toes
Starting point is 00:54:49 And they were like we don't want to enter that like cyborgs. There's no nine is very litigious Even though totally different shows certainly been around cyborg zero zero nine has an automated. Oh, no. He's just sending Algorithms I board cyborg 7 is literally a robo lawyer Oh shit So they didn't want to fuck with that one So in summation I'm angry And I'm gonna give it a 25
Starting point is 00:55:15 Wow Is this the first episode where Michael has rated it lower than Jordan Probably by that much That's like a difference of 15 14 to 15 That's a a difference of 15. 14 to 15. That's a 32 average score. Nailed it. It deserves it. Me and Nick were walking into
Starting point is 00:55:32 the room. You guys were kind of getting ready or whatever and we both just said. We were tickling each other's toochies. Yeah. We were toochying it up and pretty cool and we both said the same thing. It was so middle of the road that it wasn't even like. Here's same thing it was so middle of the road that it wasn't even like here's the thing it's middle of the road but then you consider what was lost exactly 100
Starting point is 00:55:50 and it becomes lower yep yeah yeah in context yeah yep when i a bummer when you uh first posted this that they made this my immediate reaction was this this replaced the fucking the pretzel pub and Jordan got very excited and he was like I'm gonna love this and then I said no you won't and he went nah you're right I won't it's funny I'm really
Starting point is 00:56:21 eating those words even more because like this whole episode Wendy's has been insulting me. He thought he was going to get joy just out of our, like, pleasure. Yeah, out of your suffering. And now they're throwing me under the bus, too. And then you got dragged down, too. Look, I'm not going to say they're getting banned, but you're on notice. They're on thin ice.
Starting point is 00:56:45 Hi, guys. Found something interesting for Snack Attack. It's technically not a limited edition thing. That's fine. It's just the snacks. But they only put stuff like this out for Easter. Nick's clapping. I can't see it.
Starting point is 00:56:58 He loves Easter. Favorite holiday. He is risen. I hope you enjoy it and have a happy Easter. What? Although to be realistic, given the backlog of snacks you would have to go through to get to this one, it's more like happy 4th of July. Close.
Starting point is 00:57:16 Happy Labor Day. Either way, I hope it's not too terrible. Not to worry, though, in any case, they suck. I have included a tried and true classic, but not exactly like you're used to seeing them can't send you something too normal after all the show isn't about eating regular stuff anyways enjoy the snacks and thanks for putting out such a great podcast
Starting point is 00:57:35 sincerely Ken Churgin so Ken sent us a Reese's egg from Easter and a milk chocolate Jesus Christ dino egg huge
Starting point is 00:57:46 this guy is shoved the whole fucking egg in his mouth he showed me first and then just fucking gobbled it down this Reese's one is hilarious
Starting point is 00:57:56 cause they this shit's too big bro they put it in a case where it's like look at this whole egg you have and then you pull it out it's half
Starting point is 00:58:03 it's half an egg they tricked you is there a is there a dinosaur in the egg yeah Look at this whole egg you have, and then you pull it out. It's half an egg. They tricked you. Is there a dinosaur in the egg? Yeah. So Michael doesn't like sweets. Is that right? Well, it's not that I don't like them.
Starting point is 00:58:15 I'm just not. Oh, mine's broken. I don't need them. Yeah. I don't look for them. I got to be in a real particular mood to eat them. And let me throw this at you. I went to the museum of ice cream the last two days in a row.
Starting point is 00:58:30 Oh my god. And so my sweets have been substantially filled. And now you've given me a three foot tall chocolate egg. Oh boy. That is a thick shell. This is dense. That's a thick shell. This is dense.
Starting point is 00:58:45 That's a lot of chocolate. One time I ate a half-pound Reese's Cup. Oh, my God. Yeah, I got pretty sick after. Yeah, I mean. It's no five-pound gummy bear, but. I mean, I just ate the head, though. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:59:00 It's a Reese's Cup. It is, but it's like a very thick chocolate shell. Like you got to get halfway through this before it starts having the ratio you need for actual Reese's cups. Too fucking big, dude. It's way too big. I mean like maybe you can save it for later if you hold on to this plastic. This is insane to eat in one go. This is fucking insane. I took one bite and my stomach already hurts. So wait, was
Starting point is 00:59:25 this the normal thing? What's the weird thing? Oh, the dino egg is the weird thing. Meat baby Sarah. Is this Michael Sarah? Yeah, that's Michael Sarah. Was there a baby rhino we can eat? This is like a rhino. A rhino
Starting point is 00:59:42 great-great-grandfather. I'm so sad it's hollow. Yeah, me too. Boy, that fucking Reese's one ain't. Nope. That Reese's thing is fucking insane. This one's a little... Whoa!
Starting point is 00:59:52 There's a baby inside? Oh, shit! It's a little more manageable. Yeah! So this one is like an egg that opens, which is chocolate. And then there's another sealed chocolate inside. I don't know why it's sealed. I guess so it doesn't like melt into the egg.
Starting point is 01:00:08 I feel like you could have thrown it in there not sealed. This is how baby dinosaurs... Bro, this is a fucking portrait of Stanley Tucci right here. You just got tootched. You just got tootched. That's a good ass picture. Yeah. I knew.
Starting point is 01:00:25 Give me the super syrup. This is Niagara by Frey Chocolate? I know. Never heard of it. A good man can become great. Uh-huh, uh-huh. He really liked that. Loved it.
Starting point is 01:00:45 I like the dinosaur more than the Reese's egg. Yeah, I think the dinosaur is probably better. It's just an eating experience. It's one of those things of like, if I had to do like a one bite and review, which is what we're doing. It's like a snack attack. But if you think of it in the real world scenario,
Starting point is 01:01:08 like boots on the ground eating chocolate. Yeah. In the midst. This would be better. Who the fuck is going to eat this whole thing? I have no idea. It's too, it's insane. Besides this monster.
Starting point is 01:01:17 Yeah, he looked. You said that? And then he looked over at me like this. He's going to eat all of them today. And then he's going to go. Oh my God. Why did I do that? I should have stopped at three eggs.
Starting point is 01:01:30 Yeah, I mean, this is just straight up run-of-the-mill chocolate. It's like a milk chocolate hollow Easter egg dinosaur. I give dino eggs. Jesus loves dinosaurs. It's together.
Starting point is 01:01:45 Oh, it's together. Oh, both of them together? Oh yeah, oh it's together. Oh no. You gotta, it's together. Oh, 75? 75, okay.
Starting point is 01:01:52 Man, I was thinking like 48. Okay, say 48. I don't give a shit. Do whatever you want. 61.5. I don't like it when you go first. You put the ivermectin in here. You close it up
Starting point is 01:02:03 and then you give it to your horse? It sounds, it sounds. Oh, and then you give it to your horse? It sounds... Oh, and then you did that, and I don't... That's cool. It sounds plastic when you close it. This is food. Yep. You're listening to food.
Starting point is 01:02:18 Wow! That's crazy. That's no food. That felt like it was in my brain. This can be inside you if you want. Yeah, full of ivermectin. Ooh, horse flavor. Guys, you want to send us snacks, you can. You can send them to Face Jam, Care of Eric Bedore, 1901 East 51st Street,
Starting point is 01:02:36 Oxen... Oxen? Oxford Shire? Austin, Texas, 787-2-3. We're getting through a lot of our snacks. So if you want to send some stuff, send them. And then we'll probably get some new stuff soon. It's part of this big office move.
Starting point is 01:02:51 There's a lot going on. So I don't think we'll lose anything. We're looking for more snacks soon. Hope we don't lose anything. Hey. What? You know what came out today? Breaking news.

Starting point is 01:03:51 Should have put it in the Reese's one. So- Yeah, it did. Face Jam Secret Menu is a show we're kind of doing a little taste test on where we have some new ideas, some stuff for the show that we just kind of want to fuck around and do
Starting point is 01:04:04 because we like doing face jam. We're like, well, how else can we just do... Here's the thing. Face jam. We like doing face jam, but a little too laid back. Right, right, right, right, right. Too chill.
Starting point is 01:04:16 And we want to do something with a little more energy. It's too easy to get into these, like, Stanley Tucci rambles. Oh, it's just the old humdrum. It's like, how was Face Jam? Well, they talked about the rhino again. Well, I mean, you're saying that Face Jam Secret Menu has high energy, and it does. Compared to this show.
Starting point is 01:04:35 For three quarters of it. I would say the last quarter of Face Jam Secret Menu is three or four very sleepy people. Oh, yeah. He's still full it's three or four very sleepy people going and then talking about the food they ate uh so secret menu is a show where we are going around and exposing the secrets of these restaurants secrets revealed yeah to add our own peril right and here's the thing they don't want you to know they but we do we're about to bring in the truth we'll blow the lid right off this thing i'm gripping the
Starting point is 01:05:10 fuck out of this microphone because i am eager to see what happens with face jam secret menu because if i'll just say it in and out finds out about the shit i might be fucked whoa yeah yeah you can tell how unscripted it is by the number of times someone says, this is going straight to the top. I think it's maybe three times it's said. We all just ignore that we're saying it because we all
Starting point is 01:05:36 want to say it. We all just get excited. We've latched onto a phrase and decided that that's what we're gonna do. This comes from the top. Holy shit. It's like Eric walks in and says, hey guys, and we go, holy shit.
