Starting point is 00:00:26 Contact your Land Rover authorized dealer for details. Hey, jammers. It's Jordan. And Michael. Dick is also here. We're coming to you before the episode with a special message. You may have heard of the horrible, devastating fires that have hit Maui and destroyed pretty much all of the town of Lahaina on that island. Pretty horrific. It turns out we have a jammer who just last week was
Starting point is 00:00:55 featured on Spittin' Silly when he came all the way from Hawaii to bring us snacks. Yeah. We ate them on the show and they were all from Maui and stuff and they were really good snacks. Yeah. We ate them on the show and they were all like, they were all from Maui and stuff. And they were really good snacks. And it turns out he's been affected by these fires that have been raging over there. So we were thinking maybe some jammers, you know, would want to help him out. And so we were going to record a message and, you know, see if anybody wanted to donate to help Brett. But we reached out to him first, and he actually, he graciously said he'll be fine,
Starting point is 00:01:29 but he teaches at a school that could really use the help, and they're not getting it. Yeah, the school's been damaged, and it's put this trip that they take the students on in jeopardy as well. And so we'll be linking this GoFundMe to make sure this school trip keeps happening. They take their eighth graders to the East Coast for a learning journey, rich in science and social studies experiences.
Starting point is 00:01:54 They go to the Kennedy Space Center, Walt Disney World Imagination Campus, just a bunch of cool STEM stuff and a cool experience for these kids. So if you go to bit.ly slash sacred hearts school, all lowercase, and that's hearts with an S, it'll take you to the GoFundMe page and you can help out loyal jammer Brett and his school, get those kids on their trip. So if you could spare it to help out a jammer
Starting point is 00:02:22 and help some kids in this horrible disaster. You know, this one time when Eric shills at the end of the episode to buy something, ignore him and maybe donate to some of the relief and help these kids at the school. Yeah, if ever there was a time to redirect your money
Starting point is 00:02:40 from a Face Jam piece of merch. As cool as the little piece of plastic that makes a noise with Nick screaming is. Yeah, maybe just this once will allow it to help Brett and these kids at the school he teaches at, help them out. And also, I don't know what's with Eric. Why is he pushing this stuff?
Starting point is 00:02:56 Didn't he listen to the start of this episode? I know. Weird. It's pretty, if he even tries to plug merch at the end of this episode, that is just gauche beyond, like I'm cringing now thinking about it. And that's using it properly.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Yeah, I can't even imagine, honestly. Anyway, that's bit.ly slash Sacred Hearts School. Again, all lowercase, hearts, plural. You know, if you're able, help a jammer out. And now get ready for some tonal whiplash as we start the episode of face jam you were expecting to listen to you're gonna want to turn the volume way down at the beginning eric fucked up welcome to face jam the show where we try every new fast food creation to let you know if you need it it, you probably do. I'm your host, Michael Jones, alongside
Starting point is 00:03:45 my co-host, Jordan Sweers! Jordan! How are you? I saw that coming from a mile away. Jordan was also trying to direct you. Jordan was so happy. You started doing it and he was just closing his eyes and nodding. Just going, mmm, mmm, mmm. There's always one little one like, one last minute thing
Starting point is 00:04:07 that is going to set the tone for how the episode starts. And this week it was Michael saying, you didn't test my mic. Yeah, you didn't test my audio. And Nick going, I trust you. And Michael going, that's a mistake. And I was like, I know how this is going to go. We didn't test it, and I don't have headphones. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:27 It's really moved on from Jordan and is that most of YouTube now. Like this, I know where this is going because it used to be directed at him. But he's become so agreeable on most things. Do you think you've become more like him or him more like you? I think both.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Jordan, thoughts? I think so. I agree and i think i think that's an interesting premise for a show as well um becoming the same person no just like the influence that two people can have on each other when they start at opposite like polar opposites and how the influence like i'm making a camp camp reference oh i thought you were trying to get people to listen to every previous episode of this show they should do that too to see how we slowly become the same person. Yeah, you're not going to even understand. We used to sound
Starting point is 00:05:08 different. Now we sound the same. That's why Eric's starting to sound like us too. Yeah, that's why. They're always like, you all sound the same. I don't understand that at all. Through the sort of tenure of this show, the things I don't get are people going, Eric and Michael sound the same. Not at all.
Starting point is 00:05:24 We don't. I get why they think that because people don't get are people going eric and michael sound the same not at all we don't i get why they think that because people don't know stuff but i understand that they think that and the other thing that i'll never understand and i feel like we got over the hump with it um in general this was something you had to like teach the audience was well i can't listen if there's no video how am i supposed to know who's talking? Do you remember that whole saga? Yeah, we used to hammer people for that as well. Well, because they wouldn't shut the fuck up about it. One, it doesn't make any sense,
Starting point is 00:05:51 but I think those two ideas might be linked. I think people get confused when they can't see who's talking because they don't know which voice belongs to which person. But all you have to do is listen. No, but when they think Eric and Michael sound the same and then they see a video, they go, that's Eric?
Starting point is 00:06:08 I was picturing somebody else. I was confusing him with somebody else. Boy, that happens a lot. Yeah. I didn't think that's what Eric looked like. The fuck did you think? What did you think? There was, I don't even remember who this was.
Starting point is 00:06:18 By the way, Wendy's English muffin sandwiches. There was a time not too long ago, a month or so ago, something was going on in the office, and there was a bunch of people in the kitchen, and you, Eric, were doing something in broadcast. I think it was a face thing, and they were playing it in the kitchen, and people were talking, and mentioned to me like, oh,
Starting point is 00:06:46 this is pre-recorded? And I was like, no, this is live right now. And they literally said, but isn't that you talking? Yeah. And I went, no, that's Eric. They work here. Yeah, I know. That was me that yelled, not Eric. Whoa. That was Crash Bandicoot. That was Eric. It's getting good.
Starting point is 00:07:06 That whole story, that whole story, that was me talking. That was Jordan. And that's what he could do if he felt like it. Because we had... Well, no, I have to actually...
Starting point is 00:07:15 This is actually a strain to talk this way. Oh, no. It's very polite of you. It's like me trying to do my accent again from Jersey. Right, my natural talking voice, speaking voice, is just Michael. Oh, God. And I have to put on this voice to let people know that I polite of you. It's like me trying to do my accent again from Jersey. Right. My natural talking voice, speaking voice is just Michael.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Oh, God. And I have to put on this voice to let people know that I'm not you. It's very polite. I appreciate it. Yeah. Hey. Hey. Jordan.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Muff pinions? What? This man needs to be stopped. Where did that even start? Where did that start? I don't remember. Pub pinions. Was it?
Starting point is 00:07:47 I think it was the first one. Yeah. I mean, none of them are good. None of them are good. What are you talking about? This one's good. It's opinions about muffins. Muff?
Starting point is 00:07:55 Muff pinions might be the best one. What are your opinions on muff? What do you think? You wrote it. Ooh, right in the muff. Gotta stop saying it. Okay. Say muffin if you're? You wrote it. Ooh, right in the muff. You've got to stop saying it. Say muffin if you're going to say anything. You didn't write muffin.
Starting point is 00:08:10 I'm sorry. You didn't write muffin pinions. Please say muffin. Please say muffin. I'll tell you, we were eating this this morning, and you were like, this is it. And I went, as I usually do, especially because the food was just dropped here. This is an AM. Yes. It's a real AM style. so i it's very good i even more than ever didn't know what the hell was happening yeah look at you and i went this face jam this spins what is it yeah it was michael
Starting point is 00:08:36 sitting down the food was being presented he went face jam or spitting silly and i say right because there was no hullabaloo but no no in addition to my normal just general confusion it was me going this this and you're like fish jam and i went this isn't new this is and you're like no it's new and i went this is sausage and egg i promise you they've been doing this and he went the muffins the muff the muff is what's new and i my eyeballs rolled into the back of my head. Yeah. I got it at bed for this? Yeah. For muff pinions? Crazy.
Starting point is 00:09:12 They'll put anything on the radio these days. It was just like a couple of confused questions. Me going, no, but what is it? He's like, this is the new thing. I just kept going, what? And he finally went, the muffin. And I stared at it and went, you gotta be shitting me. The English muffin thing.
Starting point is 00:09:22 You gotta be shitting me. We were talking about Wendy's breakfast. We're not much of a breakfast podcast because we're typically later in the afternoon. This is a great opportunity to explore new horizons, I think. Like sunrisins. Wow.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Muffrisins? Sunpinions? Does that work? Never leave a muff sitting out in the hot rising sun. That's all I'm saying. That's my opinion. But I think that's all i'm saying that's my opinion this is not good but i think that's more fact than opinion but that you know i'm just saying it's almost 11 o'clock it's 10 30 a.m uh wendy's wendy's breakfast has only been around for a little while a couple years it's pretty new
Starting point is 00:10:03 two three years uh i feel like that was during, I don't know if it was during COVID. Dude, COVID's a black hole. Me too. As far as like, I'll swear something is a year or two old. And it's like, if say something came out in 2009 or 2010, it means nothing to me. If I think something came out in 2020 or 2021 and it came out in 2019, to me that's like pre-COVID? Yeah. That's like a different lifetime. that i will never get that right my my sense of time really does have a black hole
Starting point is 00:10:31 any i can remember anything during 2019 but if it's 2020 onwards yeah they might as well have all happened in the same year like 2020 2021 2022 2023, all the same year to me. Yeah, I will say I've been doing a thing recently where I think that COVID started in 2019. It kind of did. I mean, it probably did. I'm just like lumping it all into one thing where I'm just like, yeah, man, it's like for five fucking years of just this shit. And I don't know if it was. That's the gus special
Starting point is 00:11:05 it's been going on for two decades yeah absolutely if it was like 2015 or before i just like that's pre-covid and everything after 2015 is just covid times uh so wendy i can't wrap my head around 2015 being eight years ago wild right yeah yeah i watched uh tron legacy a movie that came out in 2010, which in itself is shocking to me. Even more shocking, that was 13 years ago. Yes, it was. If you were born in 2010, the year Tron Legacy came out, you're a teenager. If you were born in 2010, the year Tron Legacy came out.
Starting point is 00:11:40 That's how people measure. Yeah, that's a good replacement. You know those quizzes of like, oh, what Blockbuster movies came out that year you were born? Tron Legacy. I don't think it's... Blockbuster in the term of big movies people saw in the theaters,
Starting point is 00:11:53 not Blockbuster, the store that didn't exist if you were born in 2010, the year that Tron Legacy came out. Was Tron Legacy a Blockbuster, though? It did well, I think. Did it do well? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It wasn't critically acclaimed.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Disney's just milking that thing for, like, everything they can. Yeah, but they refused to make another Tron movie. Well, that, I think. Disney's just milking that thing for everything they can. Yeah, but they refused to make another Tron movie. Well, I don't think they wanted it. They didn't want to make that Tron movie. They're just like, oh, fuck. I guess, whatever. But they can only de-age the face so much. Yeah, and that was the best part.
Starting point is 00:12:20 That was the best part. Yeah, we got DigiBridges. So I saw that movie in 2010 in theaters. Left my mind the moment I walked out of the theater. 13 years later, I watch it. The movie left your mind, not you left your mind at the theater. I left my mind in Tron. I haven't thought since.
Starting point is 00:12:35 I went into Tron and it came out a different person. It came out young Jeff Bridges. DigiBridges. I forgot that DigiBridges was a thing. Yeah. Like, I watched that. Not only is it a thing, he's the bad guy. How did I forget?
Starting point is 00:12:49 He's the bad guy in the thing. DigiBridges. I forgot that too. Why is he the bad guy? Clue. Clue. He's a digital representation of himself. So I hadn't seen the original Tron, and this was part of a double feature I did.
Starting point is 00:13:03 So I watched the first Tron in which actually I think Tron is a better movie than Tron Legacy. Oh that doesn't surprise me. I just don't think either are very good. Did you know that the technology didn't exist for 3D elements to exist on film? So all of
Starting point is 00:13:20 that, all the stuff, it's more closely related to who framed Roger rabbit than it is a typical vfx movie it's rotoscoped hand painted over over film um what were we talking about well i will say that now we truly are a podcast for white guys sitting around talking about tron let me i just think it's so interesting that the de-aging thing happened in 2010. And it wasn't very good. It doesn't look great now. It wasn't the de-aging.
Starting point is 00:13:47 I mean, it's as good as it can get. It's not the same technology, clearly. It's all just computer generated and animated with, I think, some reference points. They didn't do the full motion capture face camera thing that they do. There are some shots that look really bad, though. It's funny you talk about Tron and how old it is. And you can't believe legacy was 13 years ago because it was at rtx there was uh one of the one of the night parties or whatever
Starting point is 00:14:10 with rtx and they had tron playing in a bar and i'm and i'm walking out and uh pasta pete's partner was there of course and she goes she calls me over she's like oh hey hey michael i'm like oh i'm talking to her and she goes chris was telling me she goes that's like, oh, hey, Michael. I'm like, oh, I'm talking to her. And she goes, Chris was telling me. She goes, that's your movie. And I go, what? And I look at the screen. And she's like, yeah, Chris was telling me about Laser Team. That's Laser Team.
Starting point is 00:14:34 And I'm staring at the screen. And I look back at her. And I go, that's Tron. And she's like, that's not Laser Team. And I go, that movie's like 40 years old. And I was just staring. And I go, look at it. Look at the movie, and we look up, and it's just, how else can I explain?
Starting point is 00:14:52 That's Tron. It's 2023. That's incredible. Those men are in their 60s now. That's so cool. What are you talking about? Oh, my God. What are you saying? No, I wasn't in Tron.
Starting point is 00:15:02 It wasn't even Tron Legacy. It was the original Tron. Now, hang on. Are you sure that you weren't in tron it wasn't even tron legacy it was the original tron hang on this looks like some shit an internet company would make right this looks like shit were you in this i i was like what oh my god what are you they like stopped me as i was walking the bike look it's like your movie and they were just like i just thought thought because it was RTX, they put your movie on. Wow. That's not how I thought that story was going to go. I thought it was going to be a thing where... Chris Gamelin, congratulations, you wrote this? Well, that's what he's been telling people.
Starting point is 00:15:35 I thought it was going to be a thing where Chris was like, big Tron guy, Michael Blake. We were all surprised. Calling him Digibridges was always really good. Digital Jeff Bridges. But then we started Digibridges, and then we started calling him Jeff Bridgetle. Oh, that's cool.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Jeff Bridgetle is very good. Getting Bridgetle was pretty cool. Is very good. He also had a quote. Bridgetle, Bridgetle, get down. He had a quote that wasn't in the movie, but was on his toy, like the the clue toy if you press the button like talks and he would just go so you like bikes what what the fuck that's cool is that what i like i like clue
Starting point is 00:16:17 maybe clue was right oh man so those are pretty good muff pinions. Anyway, Wendy's breakfast. Tron pinions? Clue pinions. Wendy's breakfast is pretty new, and the English muffin, for some reason, came out yesterday. Yeah. I'll be honest. Today is the second day of it.
Starting point is 00:16:37 I'm glad they had it. Not that I think any most fast food stuff, you go, wow, I've been waiting for this. This one was really, it came out and I went, why did you do this? Who, how is this even an announcement? It's just another bread. I don't understand. I don't understand it.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Well, you know, people get excited about bread. It's just another bread. I mean, what? I've never once, going from breakfast place to breakfast place, thought, man, but if they had the muffin. If they had a different bread, I've never thought about it. The only time I ever think about it
Starting point is 00:17:08 is sometimes I don't want a biscuit because it's too thick. Right. Yeah. Well, they're just, as a fast food restaurant, you're so limited in what you can do for breakfast
Starting point is 00:17:16 because it's, what can you make fast? Egg. And the only thing you can really change is what's in the sandwich. Egg. And even then, it's a very narrow definition of breakfast food.
Starting point is 00:17:27 And so you go, I don't know, change the bread. What do we hype up this English muffin? I'm going to say we. I mean, they got to start making new breakfast foods. Yeah. You know, it's like, where's that new meat? How is it just pork and chicken and beef? Impossible.
Starting point is 00:17:44 It's got to be something else. pork and chicken and beef. Impossible. How is every other English food bad compared to any other... No, English cuisine. From England. How is all of that... I'm talking about mushy peas and shit. How is all that bad? But they fucking
Starting point is 00:18:00 nail breakfast. I don't agree. I don't like a full English breakfast. A full english breakfast breakfast versus oh you'd rather have some pancakes yeah i'd rather i'd rather have that than wake up and go beans you don't have to fucking am beans but that's a full english that's that's like saying well you don't have to you could put you could pick off the bacon it's like well no that's what it is get no bacon yeah right it's like you get no beans you know they have a half english i don't know if that's less beans i don't just get no bacon. Yeah. Right. It's just like you get no beans. You know they have a half English.
Starting point is 00:18:27 I don't know if that holds. Is it less beans? I don't know if it holds the beans. It's actually half the egg, twice as many beans. No! Yeah. Too many beans. Yeah. Gracie sneezed, but it looked like she dabbed.
Starting point is 00:18:39 I looked over and I don't know what the fuck was happening. I will say, not a peep. Yeah. Not a fucking peep. Perfectly silent. A consummate professional. Gracie, by the way, got the food for us this morning. And didn't stab us in the back.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Wow, how interesting. Yeah, well, you know, first time for everything. Gracie went and got the food for us, which was very nice. We were a little short on time, and that's why we're doing it in the morning, and that's why Gracie went and picked up the food. Gracie, anything interesting happen getting the food? Nope. There you go. But I was the only Gracie, anything interesting happen getting the food? Nope. There you go. But I was the only one there, so
Starting point is 00:19:07 these are not in high demand. So you could have done something interesting. Sure, I could have. A little 9.45 Wendy's. Yum, yum. There's a lot left in the day. I could go back and do something interesting. That ship has sailed. Wendy's.
Starting point is 00:19:27 She did order 10 of the sandwiches. Getting 10, they probably were like, hmm. She must be a producer. Munchie, munchie. Did you just wake up and you need to eat 10 English muffin sandwiches? Yes. And two orders of French toast sticks. French toast sticks is not something we're reviewing today, so we can talk about it now.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Fuck those things. I didn't know what they were he's been fired up about him i'm mad i've been big time mad here's the thing here's how i know that i'm too mad nick is pointing at me giving me a thumbs up and he's agreeing with me i'm too upset uh no one should care this much about the french toast sticks no absolutely even if we're on a food podcast it's too much it's too early in the morning for people to be celebrating their their wins with nick it keeps happening yeah people go well nick agrees with me gracie is fully on board with nick and nick is fully on board with gracie and like some food court nonsense see now they're gonna wreak havoc the rest of the day yes this is why they're gonna this is why it's like 2 p.m. thing where it's like they can't get the wheels turning
Starting point is 00:20:26 enough to get the ball rolling. I like the monkey having an apprentice human. Who's just a regular person. Who's a regular human being. A college graduate human. But like she's like devolving, speaking less and more. We'll talk about this. Gracie, what have you been up to since college?
Starting point is 00:20:45 I've been apprenticing under a monkey. I mean, ook, ook. Gracie has gained access to the email. That's exactly how he said it. She's gained access. FacejamPod at RichardT.com. We didn't grant it to her. She hacked her way in.
Starting point is 00:20:58 She hacked her way in. And I'm like, okay, have a look. See if there's anything to source for like food courts, which is a spit and silly show. And also we're going to be doing a live one on September 8th at 11 a.m. Because that's when the- Live one?
Starting point is 00:21:11 Yeah, that's when the gavel comes out. You can buy a gavel and temporarily rule on your friend's food conundrums. Dude, we're going to be banging those gavels nonstop. Rulings left and right. So I was showing Gracie, here's some of the emails that we get. One of them was, I'll use this as an example somebody went uh hey when i i was eating cookies and milk with my brother and went to pour my glass of milk and he's like no i'm good i got water
Starting point is 00:21:36 and then he dipped his cookies in water and then that was always it's always he said it's softening the cookie and that's good enough jordan is so upset i was too i was just like what and then this guy out the gate starts defending it he's like i've done that and i'm just like and he's like and he's just like it's dry yeah you eat the fucking cookie and then you drink the water you don't dip cookies in water it's crazy gracie it's crazy that combination doesn't sound great, but at least it's what you do. Yeah, at least it follows established procedures. Right. But then Gracie was like, yeah, that's weird. I would
Starting point is 00:22:12 I mean, you could like change it up a little bit. Like what if you got a vanilla Oreo and you dipped it in root beer? It sounds phenomenal. But it's also so phenomenal. And also, I don't know. This is what started it because Nick is going, oh yeah! Yeah!
Starting point is 00:22:29 Michael's fucking losing it. That's where the connection is strong. Where Gracie's ready to admit phenomenal and he's like, yeah! I'm like, okay, you've piqued my interest. We should try it. But Gracie and Nick
Starting point is 00:22:44 are already like, no, it's piqued my interest. We should try it. But Gracie and Nick are already like, no, it's the best thing ever. It's also completely irrelevant to the fucking conversation. Right, absolutely. Of like, well, when I want cookies and milk and I'm like, I have water. What about, but have you seen a clown on a unicycle?
Starting point is 00:22:58 That's pretty cool. I'd take a bite of that. Oh man, so I think food court's going to get crazy. But September 8th, 11 a.m. I'd take a bite of that oh man so I think food court's gonna get crazy but September 8th 11am I think is when we're doing that only 20 minutes before the haiku holy shit
Starting point is 00:23:12 this is what happens when you have muffinions bro we could talk about Toronto a little bit more I absolutely could I was in it Chris wrote it I guess alright haiku muffins of all types when you need to break fast Chris wrote it, I guess. All right, haiku. Muffins of all types. When you need to break fast, fast.
Starting point is 00:23:32 What makes them English? Great question. Great question. And also, what makes them muffins? Yeah. That's also true. What do they call them in English? Goddamn nooks and crannies.
Starting point is 00:23:42 We were talking about that, I think, before you got here. Are there no nooks and crannies? I mean, if there are, they're non-existent. They are so soft for English muffins. They're very fluffy. And what I like about English muffins are the nooks and crannies. You talk about like a classic Thomas. A Thomas English muffin. I want to take a bite.
Starting point is 00:23:57 You throw. I want to hear the crunch. I want to rip and tear a little bit. Exactly. You throw that in. Oh, you got to rip and tear a little bit. It's also like the only, I mean, I'll do it on toast, but like you got to have butter on an English muffin.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Absolutely. Because the nooks and crannies. Yeah. There's an actual science to it. It's so good. It's very good. You rip it and the butter turns to like liquid. There's actual science.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Yeah. There's science, God damn it. There's science. There's not just science. It's not just your lazy ass flat toast. Right. It is. It's like when I get wet now, it's a show because the water dances down my body.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Oh, you're nooks and crannies? That's what it is. I got nooks and crannies now, so I extra appreciate it. He's got gutters of some type. They call them butter gutters. Okay. That's not. They call them butter gutters.
Starting point is 00:24:43 What's your muff opinion about my butter gutter? I haven't heard butter gutter. Because I just invented it. It's a fun little phrase. Jordan's intrigued. We'll try it. All right, cool. No, no.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I'm beyond intrigued. It's phenomenal. Again, we're sinking. Oh, my God. AM Face Jam is crazy. We have to do it. We have to do it for science. Yeah.

Echo thanks its presenting partner Sun Life and its official partners Air Canada and MasterCard. That was a great haiku.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Let's learn about Wendy's. Something we know very little about. I hope there's some lawsuits in here. That's all I'm going to say. Our previous Wendy's episode was released September 2022 where we ate the pretzel pub for a second time.
Starting point is 00:26:38 It received an average score of 84.49993 point. Whose fault was that? You gave our first iteration a 68. And then the next iteration, when we went back and we were like, we review it,
Starting point is 00:26:53 you went, it's definitely better, 69. And I was furious. It's a higher score. I was mad listening to it again and then I was mad in the episode. And then Michael gave it. Eric's talking to the foam that's playing it going, he gets it. This fucking guy.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Well, Eric kept talking. He was listening to the episode, and he was talking. He thought it was me. Right. Very confusing. Michael gave it like a 99.9998 something, whatever. And so it ended up being an insane number. A nice solid number.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Yeah. Yeah, I think as all all things it evens out. 84 is fair. Next fact. Yeah. Wendy's has once again removed the pretzel pub from the menu. It's gone! Now when does that go into effect? It's been about a year. I mean I think It has been phased out and it is not
Starting point is 00:27:40 In some places it's still orderable. They're not replenishing previous supplies. i think that's what it is they're there until they run out so you gotta go out you gotta go out to like the the outskirts to a wendy's that still has it i will say it's been around long enough i i think i absorbed my my ravenous craving for it after about 40 or 50 of them. But I still go back. I saw the message of like, oh, they're doing it
Starting point is 00:28:10 again. Immediately went out and ate one. And they still had it then. It is not on the online menu. Whoa. So I got it, last time I got it, when word was sent. And I went, I'll see you again one day. You'll be back. Do you think
Starting point is 00:28:25 there's a wendy's out in like elgin or outside bastrop we could go to that would have it i feel like one last ride least likely to have it one last ride right like would it be i mean they probably have enough for like five but i don't think people are going over there to yeah five of them yeah exactly they probably get like the least inventory but also the least traffic for exactly yeah i imagine like the middle of austin they were probably slinging them yeah you know how we've been to the restaurants where they can't even get their cheeto dust delivered yes that is actually it's backed up brown rock is technically outskirts right yeah? Yeah, definitely. You know how in Breaking Bad there's that point they reach where Jesse has to go out like two hours outside Albuquerque
Starting point is 00:29:10 to get Sudafed and matches and stuff? Oh, yeah. It's like that's what we got to do. We got to drive into the middle of nowhere. To get Sudafed. Yeah, we have to get Sudafed. Our Sudafed equals public. No, it's just Sudafed.
Starting point is 00:29:22 I've been buying Sudafed because people's, people keep asking where the van went. You know where it went. Went to my front yard and I make meth in it with all the Sudafed. A Louisiana woman is suing Wendy's for $150,000 after eating a double cheeseburger and being hospitalized for a month for possible E. coli infection.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Continue. E stands for entertainment. Okay. Hang on. Possible entertainment coli infection, comma, acute gastrointestinal bleeding, comma, septic shock, comma, cerebral hemorrhage, and severe sepsis. hemorrhage and severe sepsis. She's also suing for, quote, loss of enjoyment of life and, quote, loss of
Starting point is 00:30:07 consortium, which means not being able to have sex with her husband. Quote, and this is a quote from Eric, I can't fuck because of fast food, end quote, is now acceptable for this woman and the Arby's dick melt guy. I'm sorry. That guy surely can fuck by now.
Starting point is 00:30:26 He has to, right? In any way that he can. Whatever it takes. I was on board with the feasibility of this lawsuit when it's like, oh, it was probably E. coli, and then it just kept going. When it got to
Starting point is 00:30:42 cerebral hemorrhage and it was like, maybe it's not double cheeseburgers yeah yeah it sounds like something else happened to you on the way you were you were hanging by a thread and then went to wendy's and it all came crashing yeah it was it was really the straw that broke the camel's back let me ask this too is it like it starts with being hospitalized for a month for possible. Possible. Is it possible all this? Yes. So you don't even know if you had it?
Starting point is 00:31:09 Correct. I don't even understand. Now look, we're not sure what you have, but whatever it is, it was probably from Wendy's. Yeah, that's right. That is, she was in the hospital for a month with possibly these things. From possibly eating a cheeseburger. Yes.
Starting point is 00:31:28 And then also, what other medical reason could there be? And then I'm going to be honest with you. Even if that were the case, even if you possibly got all of this, $150,000, that's going to cover two days in the hospital. I was going to say,
Starting point is 00:31:41 what the fuck are you going to do with that? Call a lawyer. She's not going to pay the hospital. I was going to say. What the fuck are you going to do with that? Call a lawyer? She's not going to pay the hospital back. I'm pretty sure a $14 million hospital stay. A person with this many problems definitely has health insurance. And it's probably low.
Starting point is 00:31:57 It's probably low cost. Oh, yeah. The idea of suing Wendy's because you possibly had all those afflictions and then you also went, by the way, loss of life and I can't fuck is crazy. Yeah. Crazy.
Starting point is 00:32:13 I mean, can't fuck because- Double cheeseburger. There's something wrong with her or can't fuck because I'm in the hospital and I just can't fuck in the hospital. Like, either could be true. Gotta make up for lost time. Gotta make up. Hey, and that's the loss of enjoyment.
Starting point is 00:32:27 That's like, could you sue your employer for loss of fuck while you're driving to work? Let's just streamline it. I'm suing for loss of fuck. Can we? That's why I work from home. Could we? Yup. Hey.
Starting point is 00:32:44 These employees, very litigious. Not returning to the office. that hey these employees very litigious not returning to the office could we sue Wendy's for loss of enjoyment of life because they got rid of the pretzel pug you couldn't you gave it a 69 yeah Michael could
Starting point is 00:32:58 69 I also can't I also can't say loss of consortium with that am I right or am I right? Nice. Hey, look, another lawsuit. A Las Vegas woman is suing Wendy's for feeding her glass, period. Possibly. No, it just says there's no possible there.
Starting point is 00:33:19 And I'm not saying she's suing for Wendy's feeding her glass something. She doesn't have something made of glass that they're feeding. They fed her the glass. The suit alleges, quote, she experienced a tremendous sense of shock and fear as her hamburger was not juicy and tender as expected, but instead consisted of hard and clear glass-like particles that not only created loud crunching and breaking sounds, but, in fact, these hard and clear glass-like particles actually broke many of Miss Haston's teeth. What the fuck is going on at Wendy's? Did this lady sue for not fucking too?
Starting point is 00:34:01 My question. Imagine eating glass. My question. That's the last thing you want to be doing. Well, imagine taking a bite and going is this glass and going I better take a couple more bites just to be sure I better keep mashing all my teeth
Starting point is 00:34:13 hang on it's me unless the thought was I sense an opportunity here let me mash as hard as possible and just sue the crap out of them it's me picking up the hamburger from Wendy's and going I can't wait to take a bite of this juicy and tender hamburger as I am expecting it to be. Don't order the cinnamon sticks.
Starting point is 00:34:36 French fries. If you get the French toast. Yeah. Were you expecting it to be juicy and tender? Yeah. And instead they fed me glass. Here's the thing, though. I will say, in counter to suing for not fucking,
Starting point is 00:34:57 you're knocking all our teeth out. You can make something easier. I'm just saying. That could be a counter in the claim like yes but I think I would like to hear from your husband
Starting point is 00:35:15 your honor I call Mr. So and So to the stand Mr. Haston to the stand I love Wendy's I love Wendy's you I love Wendy's! You said, knocked all her teeth out and made something easier, and Gracie went, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:35:32 I can't believe Wendy's is doing it either, Gracie. It's sick. It's running, right? Because there's more she can breathe. Yeah, that's what it is. She can get more air in. Oh, man. He's all around us.
Starting point is 00:35:49 An investigation. Last fact. An investigation is still underway after a South Carolina Wendy's employee started shooting out the drive-thru window at a car, then chased the car and continued firing as it sped away. The employee was arrested for aggravated breach of peace and unlawful carrying of a firearm. But we have to consider how long his shift was,
Starting point is 00:36:12 how many hamburgers he made while having a gun on him, and if he brandished it at any of the hamburgers in case I get sick. Just thinking about it making me... Just thinking about it is making me not want to fuck. If he brandished it at any of the burgers. They bring it as like stress relief kind of thing where it's like the burger's not right.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Get it together. What's off the paper on that story? What do you mean? So what's the follow? Who was he shooting at? There was a car. They gave him to the drive-thru. He started shooting at him and then chased him down.
Starting point is 00:36:54 I got that part. Yeah. What's the other details? Then the cops came and arrested him. And he wasn't like. He was a guy who just fucking worked there and had a gun on him the whole time. What the fuck is aggravated breach of peace? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:07 I guess it's shooting at someone through a drive-thru. I wouldn't call it. Do we need to downplay like, hey, that guy's a shooter. Hey, that's a derogatory term. Hey, he's an aggravated breach of peace. Hey, he had unlawful carrying of a firearm. That's fucking crazy. Imagine going to Wendy's and somebody just starts
Starting point is 00:37:25 shooting at you through the window and you're just like, I just didn't like the French toast sticks! And then they keep fucking chasing you down and shooting at you. Goddamn. That's all it was. South Carolina. Yep. That could happen here. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:37:40 It's a real Texas style story. You can carry a gun at a Wendy's in Texas, right? Can you? Probably not. I don't know. I mean, you can legally. It depends a real Texas style story. Yeah, you can carry a gun at a Wendy's in Texas, right? Can you? Probably not. I don't know. I mean, you can legally. It depends on the store.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Everywhere in Austin, it's funny because I never saw them growing up. Yeah. Everywhere in Austin has like, can't bring a gun in here. Right. And you have to have that sign up. And I go, wow, wouldn't it be great if it just was the rule? Yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:03 Wouldn't it be great if that was implied? The first time I saw, uh-uh, leave it in your car. The first time I saw that sign was in Chicago, like, 10 or 11 years ago. And I went, that's crazy. And then I moved here, and I went, oh, it's here, too. It's on, like, Walmart. Yeah. You know?
Starting point is 00:38:19 Uh-uh-uh, no gun. Don't take the gun inside. They need, like, a little rhyming mnemonic device. That's the only way people in Texas really get it. You have to make something right. Turn around, don't drown type shit. Exactly. Bring a gun, no more fun.
Starting point is 00:38:32 And in Phoenix, which has some of the worst drivers I've ever encountered, they have signs that say, use your head, stop on red. Wow. Yeah. That's not, I feel like that's not something that legally should be allowed to remind people. That's not, I feel like that's not something
Starting point is 00:38:45 that legally should be allowed to remind people. That's insane. That's something you should have to know without a reminder. Right. You know what I mean? Like, oh, fuck.
Starting point is 00:38:54 There needs to be, this sign needs to be closer to my house because I've been driving for 30 minutes not stopping at Red's. You don't even want to know how many Red's I have until I saw this sign reminding me. My wife gets so pissed here because it's on the freeways.
Starting point is 00:39:07 They have like the big signs that say like, how do y'all remember to buckle up or whatever. It'll usually be phone or seatbelt. Yeah, it's that. And she just goes, it's the most fucking distracting thing in the world to look at the sign and now I'm mad at the stupid fucking sign. Well, not only that,
Starting point is 00:39:20 but it's a fucking like an LED sign. And so there's two pages. It'll change. You gotta wait. You're looking up going, don't forget the one! Don't forget the one! And you're just staring at it,
Starting point is 00:39:32 waiting for it to change. It makes no sense. God help you if you drive past it before it flips. Because then you're just thinking about it. Well, then you have to slam all the fucking brakes, put it in reverse, go back and see what the other side was. And the next thing you know,
Starting point is 00:39:44 they're citing you for aggravated breach of peace on I-83. Well, yeah. What am I going to do? Not shoot out my window? I shoot at the sign. I'm trying to hit the next page button. I'm trying to hit the lights to write my own
Starting point is 00:40:00 words up there. See what happens. Change the sign. That's Wendy's. Yeah. You guys learn a lot? I learned about two lawsuits and an investigation that was underway. And then what we rated it last time and then that the pretzel pub's gone.
Starting point is 00:40:15 See, those are all facts. Those are all the facts. How about this? That's insane. Not for fun, leave the gun. Oh, that's pretty good. So it's like, you know, if you're going in for business, you don't need your gun. You gotta treat it like you can't be treading on them.
Starting point is 00:40:31 You know what I mean? Because it's like... All guns are good. They're all good guys. All guns are born good. Especially this guy who worked at a Wendy's. There are no bad Pokemon, just bad Pokemon trainers. Wow.
Starting point is 00:40:48 There's a lot of just like, but straight up garbage Pokemon. Right, but like, there's like Muk. Yeah, I mean. That's fucking crazy. I thought you were going to say. That's pretty fucking impressive. And it's crazy because there's a lot of Pokemon. One of us said it.
Starting point is 00:41:02 And it just sounded like both of us. Michael. I just said Muk. Why did Michael echo there? Well, Michael said it and it just sounded like both of us michael i just said why did michael echo there well michael said it and then nick did like an echo effect yeah nick edited something oh my god um i thought you were gonna say the literal garbage pokemon trubbish right he's one yeah literally you know what i'm too old yeah i don't know i've never seen i could not tell you what gen i can name i would name all 151. I would guess four. I can guess 50 after that.
Starting point is 00:41:27 Yeah. And I played 10 games after that. But they're not as good as they used to be. Yeah. Well, yeah. Is there a Pokemon rap for gen, like the third gen one? It's not that they came out and I was there. Someone should do all 10,000.
Starting point is 00:41:39 I'm sure there's a YouTube video we can look up right now, and it's a fucking shitty rap of somebody doing it. And then it's the kid doing chug jug with you or whatever where he's gonna take down tomato town fuck that shit what the hell is he talking about the worst parody music in the world
Starting point is 00:41:55 Minecraft stuff I hate it I hate it so much he's talking about number one victory royale that's it yeah that kid he probably did a Pokemon rap with all one million Pokemon. You're talking about number one Victory Royale? Yeah. Fortnite?
Starting point is 00:42:09 Yeah. I love that song. Just wiped out Tomato Town. That's cool. I love that. That's cool. I like how unproblematic its source material is because of who is involved in the original song. Very normal stuff.
Starting point is 00:42:22 That's all good. It's all good. Video games. We should stop, I think. Good song, otherwise. all good it's all good video games they we should stop i think good song otherwise i think they should stop making video games for a little bit like take like a year or two off like there's plenty there's just plenty of video you just play an old one that's it this is such an old man take yeah i'm fine with that i got no problem many games too many games i don't think there's too many games. I think there's just enough games. I think we've hit enough games. You sound like the British
Starting point is 00:42:47 Royal Academy of Science in like 1860 where it's like, we're gonna stop patents. We've invented everything. We know all the science. We've figured it out. I literally can't think of what else we could invent next. I think that's gotta be it, guys.
Starting point is 00:43:03 Where does Starfield fall? Does that come out or not come out? They should hold it for a couple years. Oh, no. It's so close. It is. I mean, I'll give them until the end of August. Oh, no. It's not going to be out until the end. Well, then it's got to wait until 2025. I thought that was like a week ago.
Starting point is 00:43:19 I only know Starfield because I saw somebody Photoshop it and said Garfield. I know because people won't shut the fuck up about it. That's Baldur's Gate 3. And I hate it, and I want you to just hate, and I hate you, and stop talking to me, and I'm not going to play it. And then I go, oh, it's Bethesda? Yeah, I'll play that. Is that what started this kind of thought?
Starting point is 00:43:39 Was it Baldur's Gate that got you? It was like, just enough games. No, I think it was like a while ago where I just kind of went like oh we just keep making them and now we're just doing the old games new again if you're gonna do that just do that just just make the old ones i do appreciate and very much enjoy when i hear about a new game and it's like the third one oh i haven't heard of the other ones at all yeah there are two more i don't remember hearing about Baldur's Gate 1 and 2. Let me tell you why you're hearing about Baldur's Gate, and this is someone who
Starting point is 00:44:09 hasn't played it yet. Oh, there's like Butter Gutters, right? There's Butter Gutters, but also, the game is 125 gigs. Yeah. Gotta buy your own. What the fuck? You gotta buy a whole hard drive for that. I went to download it, and I went, well, this is the thing.
Starting point is 00:44:25 Just straight up. I mean, not to say like something expensive is good, but I went, you just don't sling out a 125 gig game. That's why I go, oh, this is why people are talking about it. It's like an experience. Yeah, it's like a life. Well, my GT 970 graphics card. Yeah, your computer that you can't
Starting point is 00:44:45 even record this show on. Will it run the game? My i5 chip. Yeah, with my hard drive that's dead. Yeah, set it to medium. Oh, right, yeah. Don't do high. Okay, okay. No dynamic shading.
Starting point is 00:44:59 I would say don't. You can do a couple dynamic shadings. Don't go over 120 hertz. Probably. No shadows from structures. Yeah, I would say don't go over 120 hertz, probably. No shadows from structures. I always do highest quality water, though. You got to have good looking water. Shitty polygon graphics, that's fine. But I see it and I want to drink it.
Starting point is 00:45:19 Yeah, yum yum. And then I lick the screen and go, oh, they got me again. Yeah. A fast one. Sausage English muffin sandwich. A fresh cracked grade A egg. Whoa. Grilled sausage.
Starting point is 00:45:33 And American cheese on a toasted English muffin with a buttery spread. Note, not butter. Uh-huh. Finally, the classic breakfast sandwich is part of the breakfast the best breakfast in the biz whoa finally is that the classic breakfast sandwich are they the if you're saying mcdonald's is that like i don't know what makes it the classic breakfast sandwich
Starting point is 00:45:59 except the mcmuffin right i don't think gotta have an english muffin for it to count as a breakfast sandwich like i don't i've been making have an English muffin for it to count as a breakfast sandwich. I've been making them on hamburger buns. Yeah, it's really sort of anything that you have. Yeah, it works great. I've been doing like a fried egg and the yolk gets everywhere, but the hamburger bun goes... I'm actually not big on the biscuit sandwiches.
Starting point is 00:46:17 I don't think biscuit is good for breakfast. You really gotta be in the mood for it. For me, the only time I really think it works the best is for chicken sandwiches. I like a breakfast biscuit with a fat breakfast chicken. They're just so dry. Yes. And, like, they fall apart.
Starting point is 00:46:33 They fall apart. That's my biggest thing. They fall apart, and then they're just filled. Yeah. You know? They're like, you're losing meat eat for that biscuit. Mm-hmm. I do think McMuffin is probably the way to go.
Starting point is 00:46:47 Like, as far as, like, best bread. I guess. I don't know why they took so long to bring it to Wendy's. It's finally, yeah, nothing. Yeah, no shit. Nothing stopped them. They just didn't do it. It's weird to be like, we finally did it.
Starting point is 00:47:02 It was that big a deal. Why didn't you start with it? I mean, and they really do say finally. Yeah. It really is just finally. Right. The classic breakfast sandwich is part of the best breakfast in the biz. I can read this next one about the bacon sandwich as well, and then I have another question for you.
Starting point is 00:47:16 Okay. Because this won't take very long. Bacon English muffin sandwich, a fresh cracked grade A egg, applewood smoked bacon, and American cheese on a toasted English muffin with a buttery spread. Finally. Finally. The classic breakfast sandwich is part of the best breakfast in the biz.
Starting point is 00:47:32 Finally. Go ahead and ask what your question is. What do you think about bagel sandwiches as breakfast? Love them. I'm fucking love them. I think it's the best. It's got to be cooked perfectly where the bagel needs to be toasted but soft. That I
Starting point is 00:47:45 want soft. You don't want a crispy bagel when there's shit in it. Let's keep talking because I'm sensing there's about to be some descent from across the table. No, no, no. Exactly what he said is exactly what I was going to say. And I don't want to hear criticism. It's the only reason it would ever miss is if you get the chewiest bagel and then
Starting point is 00:48:01 you take a bite and it compresses doesn't tear apart. Doesn't tear apart. Doesn't tear. You've got to have it tear. Nick is giving his opinions and notes. See, now, what you're describing is an excellent bagel with cream cheese. Yes, absolutely. Not for a sandwich.
Starting point is 00:48:15 Completely different consistency for a sandwich. And what was Nick's note? So, you might recall we went to Chicago about a year and a half ago. Uh-huh. God, it was that long already? We left in the morning to go back home, and we were in the airport, and we went to,
Starting point is 00:48:30 some of us went to McDonald's for breakfast. Other people got a bagel sandwich. His note was, I should have got the bagel sandwich at the Chicago airport. He's still thinking about it. It's a year and a half. He's still thinking about it.
Starting point is 00:48:41 What the fuck? What the fuck? Gracie, this is the person that agrees with you most. Also, imagine his actual life. Like, actual life decisions. You could get one whenever. There's a couple. Who he married and which house they bought.
Starting point is 00:48:56 But here's the thing. He's fine with all those things. All of that stuff, he's crushing. But he's laying in bed a year and a half ago so some people think about like an embarrassing thing that happened to them like a few years ago or an awkward social situation i made the right call here awesome what a fucking psycho just like it haunts him and it's from mcdonald's too it's not like yeah nervous charlie's is great yeah love nervous rockstar Bagels
Starting point is 00:49:25 is my go-to. Is it really? I think that's the last time I had that sandwich too, by the way. Because I was freaking out about the bagel sandwich. Does it keep you up at night? No, because I got it. I'm the one that ate it. You made the right call there. I made the right call because that was my favorite McDonald's breakfast sandwich was the fucking steak, egg, and cheese bagel.
Starting point is 00:49:42 And it was like, shit steak. Not real steak, but it's like fast food. It's McDonald's food. The bagel was perfect. It was like a bagel format. It's big enough so it can hold all the shit. It doesn't leak. It doesn't get soggy, but it's soft so it rips. You got to have it rip.
Starting point is 00:49:56 And that was the other thing too. With their gym mat steak, it would just melt to pieces in your mouth. It was like exactly what I want. No chewing. That's like when you I want. I don't want it. That's like when you get like a steak sandwich from a diner and it's like, you just fucking cut pieces of a steak and put it on a sandwich. This sucks.
Starting point is 00:50:13 And it's like whole chunks of meat. Right. Like it's, yeah, there's gotta be some consistency. What you just said, I think sums up what this thing is and, and fast food sort of breakfast,
Starting point is 00:50:22 or I guess food in general, it no chewing. These are, when we were saying like, these are like food in general, no chewing. These are, when we were saying like, these are like so soft and like so pillowy and like there's no chew to it. That's all fast food.
Starting point is 00:50:32 It is just like, how can we slide this down your throat with the least effort from you? I think of Domino's. Yeah. Domino's, I don't know how they make their pizza, but it's fake food
Starting point is 00:50:39 and you just chew it twice and it falls down your mouth. And it's just, you think it disintegrated, but you swallowed it. You have to chew real pizza. It's more of the idea of eating than it is actual eating. It's just kind of like M&M's.
Starting point is 00:50:50 It just like melts in your mouth, but you get it in there. Whatever biodegradable material it is. It is biodegradable, but shouldn't be. Not inside of you. Anyway. Hey, let's learn about press material. Yeah, here's the press material. Quote, fans asked and we answered.
Starting point is 00:51:08 No, they didn't. As breakfast boundary breakers, we're always looking to cook up new craveable breakfast offerings to add to our stacked breakfast lineup. And we have high standards for what ultimately makes it into our menu. Don't laugh. Said John Lee lee global vice president of culinary innovation for the wendy's company global global he's going he's culinary innovation worldwide baby anyone above that is interplanetary galactic someday um i just like that high High standards, English muffins.
Starting point is 00:51:45 English muffins? Yeah, but also, finally, you're about to hear the standards. Yeah, check this shit out. We tested 60 variations of our English muffin sandwiches before we landed on these light and fluffy English muffins made with a touch of honey
Starting point is 00:52:00 topped with a savory buttery spread, fresh cracked eggs, and delicious bacon or sausage for the perfect harmony of breakfast flavors. The other 59 must have been terrible. It's funny that we were talking about how narrow the ingredients are that you're working with for breakfast.
Starting point is 00:52:20 I'm surprised they could come up with 60 variations. I'm sure the variation was the name of the brand. It's nothing else. Fucking crazy. Well, they took the honey off, and then they put it back on. What are you talking about? Then they took the buttery spread off.
Starting point is 00:52:33 Honey and butter. And they put that on and took the honey off. The only butter on there is, and we were talking about this while we were eating, it's such a greasy sandwich, but it doesn't get everywhere. It simply is greasy on the sandwich and then inside of you. Yeah. Yeah, it doesn't get everywhere it simply is greasy on the sandwich and then inside of you yeah yeah it doesn't drip or leak at all but it's very greasy very and and we found out that's because of a savory buttery spread i got more sweetness on the bacon one and
Starting point is 00:52:57 i thought maybe the bacon had something to do with like it was like maple or something but it's just apple wood so it's like i don it taste like that. I have kind of the same question that just kind of asks itself from the press material and the English muffin sandwiches describing them. And that is, to proclaim twice for being the
Starting point is 00:53:18 best breakfast in the biz, how are you the best breakfast in the biz before you have the classic breakfast sandwich? Because I biz before you have the classic sandwich? Because I feel like that's the classic. You can't be the best without the classic. Right. But then the next line is talking about breaking boundaries by having the
Starting point is 00:53:37 classic breakfast sandwich. Finally, the least boundary breaking thing you could. Hey guys, we're breaking all the rules and we got what we should have had from day one can you believe it if they had done the English muffin first and
Starting point is 00:53:52 the thing that we were eating today was a newly introduced breakfast Baconator then that makes sense with like their order of operations they went off script to start and now they're like well we gotta let's take it back now we're getting back on script
Starting point is 00:54:07 and for Wendy's that's breaking boundaries yeah absolutely that's not just breaking boundaries that's breaking breakfast boundaries very weird very weird that they're touting this so much it's just a fucking bun they have to this is their job is to make this sound like
Starting point is 00:54:23 they're doing something when really they're not doing this to me is maybe worse than the mcdonald's like this guy orders this stuff right that i mean because there's nothing there but at least they're going and they're leveraging that celebrity right that's exactly that musician or athlete or whatever right this is them going english muffies yeah and you know them you love them fuck wasn't going to wendy's but now is dropping everything to go get the food they've always had, but now with English muffies. From everywhere else.
Starting point is 00:54:51 Like, this is a thing. We were saying, like, McDonald's breakfast. Would you get this over an egg McMuffin? Like, I just don't. Dude, 60 variations on this thing. The only time I go to Wendy's for breakfast is for that breakfast bacon eater. That's it.
Starting point is 00:55:06 I'm really feeling like an absolute piece of shit monster. A garbage man? Just a garbage monster man. I go, what if I want like 50 strips of bacon on a sandwich, but I don't want a hamburger. Oh, sausage and egg and 50 strips of bacon? That's acceptable. That's it. Bacon, egg, and cheese McGriddle is still the best for me.
Starting point is 00:55:24 It's very good. So what do you think of this? What do you think of the English muffin offerings here with Wendy's? It's a bad English muffin. It is. I think it sucked. It's bad. It is undeniably, in my opinion, worse than the breakfasts I've been eating there for years.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Since they introduced breakfast. This is my first foray into Wendy's breakfast as well. It's bad. All the other shit is better. And again, I'm not like, I'm not praising the other buns, but I've just never really noticed. It's either just like some sort of bun. It's not an English muffin.
Starting point is 00:55:55 It's some sort of bun. They have like a croissant and they have a biscuit. And then they've got the biscuit. Right. And you just eat it and you go, this sandwich is good or whatever. Yeah. To go through this hoopla for this English muffin, I don't understand it to begin with.
Starting point is 00:56:09 And then on top of that, it's not good. All you've done is just offered a worse sampling of your food. It's like thicker than an English muffin should be and it's way too soft. Yeah, it's too soft. They're talking about being happy about fluffy and spongy. It should not be that.
Starting point is 00:56:23 The English muffin, i'll be honest and he's have nooks and crannies and butter a little bit more but that's acceptable this is more fluffy less cooked than an english muffin yeah this was almost like eating a slightly thicker hamburger bun it really it's very weird it's a very weird thing so no no honey you know what no no absolutely news to me news Told you you didn't test my audio. Bringing that one back around 52 minutes in. I mean... And I went like this.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Yeah, that's pretty good. Can you imagine? Here, I'll try it again. It was also just fine, though, as far as, like, the ingredients, you know? Do you have a preference on one or the other?
Starting point is 00:57:02 The bacon one was better. I think the bacon one had more flavor, yeah. I would recommend not getting this garbage. Fast food sausage bacon. You're going to Wendy's. All right, so I'm going to give it a 47. Okay.
Starting point is 00:57:15 Yeah, I'm going to be honest. I've had their breakfast. Not impressed, but also not too offended. It's good. Yeah, I don't think this is offensive. They've got pretty good breakfast, and this is like maybe the worst Wendy's breakfast I've had.
Starting point is 00:57:28 I'm going to give it a 28. Wow. Because look Wendy's, you've fallen so far. You're lucky Jordan has never had it before. Honestly, yeah. I'm rating it so low because of how many breakfasts I've had. I'm thinking, did I fuck up?
Starting point is 00:57:44 37.5. And man, it really is sort of a disappointing breakfast. Just kidding. Don't get the English muffin. Yeah. If you're feeling monstery, get the breakfast Baconator. It's a lot of food, and there's some kind of sauce in there, too, that really ties it together.
Starting point is 00:57:58 I don't know what it is, but it's got a sauce. Have you all had breakfast at other places? Oh, yeah, many times. Like the Borga? The Borga King? No. Or the Borga King? No. Or the Borga King? My wife gets McDonald's breakfast probably once a fucking week.
Starting point is 00:58:10 Sorry. I mean, that isn't McDonald's. We've all had McDonald's. We've all had McDonald's. Yeah. But I haven't had any other fast food breakfast. I haven't had Taco Bell breakfast. Let me tell you this.
Starting point is 00:58:20 Hang on. Gracie just went Chick-fil-A? Chick-fil-A has breakfast? Are you shitting me? What do they do? Do they put an egg on the chicken sandwich or what? It's like, well, they have little chicken minis, tiny little baby rolls with a nugget.
Starting point is 00:58:35 They have biscuits. They have burritos. Slaughter them. Ash brown scramble. This is. This is. This is. This is. Your day. Gracie's hung. Can I go on? This is fun Today's your day Gracie's hungry
Starting point is 00:58:47 Time for the chicken little I will just say I'm not usually If I'm hungry for breakfast I'm not thinking Chick-fil-a I'm not thinking Taco Bell Sometimes I get hungry and I hate at the same time And that's when Chick-fil-a is great Okay
Starting point is 00:59:03 Do you know what I will say you know I will say hold on just hang on hang on real quick before you know that it's I've had it I love the place I don't recommend for breakfast because just why I talk about the the Baconators like if you're monster whatever it's a sandwich Taco Bell breakfast is heinous it's a thing they also introduced breakfast probably around the same time as Wendy's maybe earlier and it's a heinous thing. They also introduced breakfast probably around the same time as Wendy's, maybe earlier. And it's a real like,
Starting point is 00:59:28 what the fuck are you thinking? It's just Taco Bell, but for breakfast. Like, I assume they had eggs. I don't even remember, but it's, you just feel like
Starting point is 00:59:38 you're eating tacos at 9 a.m. And Taco Bell tacos. Right. Not breakfast tacos. Not a breakfast taco. Not a breakfast taco. It's just a Taco Bell taco for breakfast that they somehow add one other element to.
Starting point is 00:59:48 And you're going, I'm just eating a fucking taco at 9 a.m. and I hate myself. This sounds like. It's terrible. I've only done it like once. This sounds like an opportunity for like a spitting silly series. Let me dive into some other breakfasts. Okay. But for now, we're going to dive into this snack.
Starting point is 01:00:07 I think I know who our sponsor is this episode. I think you'll be surprised. Because you just dumped a nuts.com box onto the table. Whoa, did we get sent a snack from nuts.com? So here's the thing. Did our friend at nuts.com send us another one? We got sent a snack from nuts.com, but we didn't get sent a snack Nuts.com send us another one? We got sent a snack from Nuts.com, but we didn't get sent a snack from Nuts.com.
Starting point is 01:00:28 It came from Nuts.com. I'm glad y'all are getting into Nuts.com territory. Here's what I usually get off of there. A lowly bug, Ethan, Ghostbaker. So here's something he ordered from Nuts.com. So Ethan sent us a a nuts.com order. Right. And, and.
Starting point is 01:00:48 And they are the sponsor. But I need you to know, this has nothing to do with that. This has nothing to do. They did not send us this. But they are sending us stuff. Right. It's not here yet. And it's not this.
Starting point is 01:01:03 This is from Ghost Baker, who's a fan of our sponsor, so sent us food of our sponsor that they paid for. We need to be really clear. Why are we so good at these accidental
Starting point is 01:01:19 synergenic sponsor tie-ins? What is this fucking bag? I think that's the one we're going to review. I don't think we're smart enough to pull off something like this if we were to do something like this. That was planned. Okay. Let's never plan it.
Starting point is 01:01:37 We're going to pick one. We're going to pick one of these from Ethan and review it. What do we got? I see some popcorn. We got white cheddar jalapeno popcorn. Oh, maybe that's the one. We got blister peanuts, which sounds gross.
Starting point is 01:01:50 Japanese peanuts, which sounds Japanese. And assorted sixlets, which sounds like something you couldn't do after eating at Wendy's. Your Honor, I'm suing for A lack of six
Starting point is 01:02:05 Consortium of sixlets So this is what This is what Ethan sent Put my hand in there And that's what we're going to review Is nuts.com Jalapeno Cheddar
Starting point is 01:02:13 Popcorn or whatever The problem is if nuts.com Keeps hearing about this shit They're never gonna send us stuff Yeah that's true They're gonna go You're covered Here we go
Starting point is 01:02:21 Ooh Do the shake that again Oh yeah No just put your hand in there Like I did No I wanted the audio Here we go. Ooh. Do the shake that again. Oh, yeah. No, just put your hand in there like I did. No, I wanted the audio. Yeah. Okay. So what do you think?
Starting point is 01:02:32 Make that sound with your hand. Ooh, it's a little spicy. That's the jalapeno. Oh. Oh. It's spicy, but in a good way. Eric said, oh. Dude, that's a bag I can sit down and eat the whole thing
Starting point is 01:02:46 Dude I need some water But I don't have any so what if instead I rub peanut butter on my eyelids It's just like It's just what I do when I don't have water Do you think that would trick him No I think Gracie would recommend root beer I love white cheddar popcorn Never in a million years No, I think Gracie would recommend root beer.
Starting point is 01:03:08 I love white cheddar popcorn. Never in a million years would I think that jalapeno would be an ingredient, like part of it. But boy, does it work. Like what a concoction. This is pushing boundaries, breaking breakfast boundaries way more than Wendy's is. And it's not even a breakfast food. But it can be. Yeah, I love that.
Starting point is 01:03:30 What do you give it? 90. Wow. 90 and he dropped one. Don't worry, he's going to pick it up. No, but he didn't eat it. No, there's plenty more in the back. I would never. Gracie going back for seconds.
Starting point is 01:03:41 Chris Demiris would absolutely put that in his mouth and eat it. And he would have been like, ooh, laser team. That's pretty good. I'm not really a huge popcorn guy. Like, at home popcorn. Yeah, no, I get it. But, 75. Okay.
Starting point is 01:04:05 That's an average score of 82.5. That's pretty good. If you're into popcorn and albino, you'll like this a lot. Thank you, Ethan, for sending us food from a sponsor that if you aren't a first subscriber, you listened to the ad of earlier.

Starting point is 01:06:19 I was in a meeting and I said, look, I'm sending this to you. You're all witnesses that I'm doing this so that way it goes on the website. I'm not just sending you these pictures. Thank you. See, I never say that. I just let it fly. Also, what you can get away with more is you don't send it, you just

Starting point is 01:07:21 Right. So what power they get through the gavel is like a minor ruling. Right. We what power they get through the gavel is like a minor ruling. Right. We had to be very clear about that. It's more like- This is not- You don't become a judge.
