This is a Rooster Teeth production. Sounds like really good. Does that sound weird? Yeah, it sounds good. Better. It's really loud, but it's good. It's like thicker or something. Ba-da-da, boo-da-boo, welcome to Face Jam.

The show where we try every new fast food creation to let you know if you need it. You probably do. Thanks to DoorDash and Hawthorne for making this show possible. I'm your host, Michael Jones, alongside my co-host, J-Dog. J-Dog, how are you? I'm nice and toasty, baby. It's a nice warm day here in Austin, Texas. Dude, I got my seat warmer on right now.

I'm toasted. Yeah. I used to be like a little limp piece of bread now i'm crusty toast spread butter on me mama i think i want to bring that back i've been thinking that yeah that remember in the 90s when people would go whoa mama i think i want to bring that back i think we should bring back uh was up too oh that in a way never left yeah right i say was up all the time but just not like when people would go, whoa, mama, I think I want to bring that back. I think we should bring back Was Up, too. Oh, that, in a way, never left.

Yeah, right? I say Was Up all the time, but just not like the commercial. That's what I'm saying. We should bring it back like the commercial. Yeah. Do you think we'd have to pay them? No. No, it's been long enough.

It's probably in public domain now. Yeah, definitely. Public domain. Uh-huh. That's true. Well, this is Face Jam, and we do jam on some food and today we're reviewing wing stop hot lemon bayou bbq and lemon garlic wings that's three distinct wing flavors we're back at the wings wow wow eric's mouth is a gate you guys ever you guys ever eat chicken on this podcast or what? Didn't we just do wings like a month ago?

I don't know. It wasn't Wingstop. What's the other wing place? Sounds like you have no idea if we did it or not. Yeah, these all just blur together, you know? I'm with you, but that's why I just keep my mouth shut. Don't talk about things that I don't know the answer to. We did Buffalo Wild Wings.

My job is to ask the questions and Eric answers them. Answer them now. We did Buffalo Wild Wings. Oh, mama. See, it works. Do you know how hard it was to find something that wasn't a goddamn fish sandwich right now? Why are you asking me questions? hard it was ridiculous you know uh i figured out why that was happening you had you had you had slacked us saying there's fish sandwiches everywhere it's going crazy and

i saw another fish sandwich commercial for like popeye's and I was like, man, there really are fish sandwiches everywhere. And my wife goes, yeah, because it's Lent. Yeah. And I just went, oh, yeah, that makes sense. Some people are into that. Yeah. We're sacrilegious, so we don't do that.

We don't eat the fish. Sacrilegious. Yeah. I also hate fish. Yeah. Yeah. We had to avoid the fish at all costs for Michael. Also, we already ate Popeyes.

We're not going to do that again. Right. Not when Wingstop, a restaurant that's completely different than Buffalo Wild Wings, is on the table. Very different. Right. I didn't know that you could eat inside at a Wingstop. I've never seen a Wingstop that has like seats and tables inside of it. Eating inside?

What do you think that's like? That's a really good point, because you didn't know we could eat inside at all, you idiot. That's why my job is to ask the questions like, why don't we eat inside? Fucking furious about it. Turns out we're just standing around like a bunch of chuckleheads eating next to Eric's car. We could have been inside. No, we can't be inside.

Guarantee you, Eric never even thought about it until all the chicken wings get blown off his car from the wind. Like we chose to eat outside. Suddenly people start asking asking maybe we should eat inside so the wind doesn't blow all the food on Eric's car. I think about it every fucking time I go get food. I want to eat inside again. I want to sit quietly

and eat inside and have a good time and instead, we're huddled around my car waiting for grackles to attack us or the wind to knock over blue cheese or to lose all of our fucking wings on the ground. By the way, by the way, I never took

pictures of the food until after it spilled all over my car and onto the ground. You know what I say to that, Eric? That's what you get. Jesus Christ. Should've thought about eating inside. That's what you get. You should've thought about it. Fucking ridiculous. I've never

seen Eric so mad from a question. What a dumb question! It was very funny. Eric attacked you like you were the audience. It was. That's why I was like taking a bet. I was like, Eric, I'm your friend. It's cool, man.

I don't know that you were got you were gonna get a picture of the food anyway because as we sat there eating it i went right kind of early on i went i don't think there's enough food here yeah we didn't get enough at all i asked you if it was enough you said it's 25 enough and i said yes and as i told you today several times i thought you were talking about blue cheese. I thought you were saying is 25 blue cheese enough? And I'm like, yeah, that's more than enough. I thought he meant 25 of each flavor. What? I thought we were

going to get 75 blue cheese. Any way you slice it, I'll be honest. It's Nick. He keeps doing a thumbs up. He's agreeing with both of us that you're an idiot. Here's why, can I say. Here's why I thought it was 25 sauce. because the conversation happening back and forth was between you and this animal and all he was talking about was sauce and

this and that it was the whole he kept replying about sauce and his favorite blue cheese is from wing stop and you were like you have a favorite blue cheese what the fuck was that right so when a number got thrown out and he of all people not, not Jordan or I, goes, yeah, that's enough. I went, surely they must be talking about the sauce. They must be talking about sauce. And he loves it. He's going to take 10 of them home. And so you took the box out of wings and didn't take a second box out.

And I went, oh, my God, this is it. Like, there's not going to be enough. And then the wind blew the last six onto the ground but i don't know that we would i think we were gonna eat them all before you took a picture there was like five left it's true there was just nothing also was the blue cheese that good to be anyone's favorite like it was blue cheese. It was blue cheese, and I like blue cheese. How's your car like it? Fucking Christ.

As I'm trying to clean it up. As I'm trying to clean it up. Why don't we eat inside? Are you fucking kidding? Like right now, are you fucking kidding me? There are times. There are times where, like, you can push Eric's buttons by asking a very obvious question. There are some times where it strikes a nerve in a way you weren't expecting and he explodes.

The idea that I chose. Oh, God. He was holding the bag that had the refuse in it while he was like holding a napkin to stop the blue cheese that was running down the front of his car. It was like an episode of ER. He was trying to stop the

bleeding. He stood there and went, said something about, I don't remember exactly what he said, but you were like anybody can help or something like that and then the drink on the top of your car got knocked over by the way

it was just like and everyone I'm just trying to stop it and everyone just kind of stood around and like laughed why do i want to get too close we're in covid i can't what do you want me to do hold your hand i mean i wanted to see how it would play out no i want no what you did was right you grab more paper towels and you went i got you here i come to save the day yeah and then nick nick ran over and grabbed my spilled drink and he went here you go what am i gonna do with it and then i went and and got the empty styrofoam container and brought

it back and put it under underneath your uh wiper blade so it wouldn't blow away again yeah thank you so much and then i helped by asking the question, when did we eat inside? Yeah, and then he lost it. Like I chose, like this is what I want. I told you guys after that happened, after I go and pick up this food, the whole drive over here, I just think, man, I wish we could eat inside.

I wish we could just go inside and eat instead of standing in this parking lot, wearing masks, staying away from each other, eat inside i wish we could just go inside and eat instead of standing in this parking lot wearing masks staying away from each other eating the food and then it gets spilled over my fucking car we we take here's how it works we take turns we kind of rotate yep yeah to approach eric's car take a take a wing back away and then eat it i'll say even yeah even even in that scenario you you put the you put the box out and you were still like rifling through your car so i opened it yeah i took the i took the blue cheese out and i was kind of looking at the food and i could feel nick being as close as humanly possible to me like you know he was still away from me, but I just could, I could,

I could feel him staring at me. So I unboxed all the food, and then before I even took a bite, being the first one there, I just backed up, and he fucking ran at it. He just ran at the food, and I was like, I could tell that was about, I was about to get knocked over, dude.

It's his favorite blue cheese. It's funny how after 11 months of this new world we live in, your personal space bubble has been expanded, but you can still sense when someone's on the edge of it. Yeah. I can feel it. I can feel it.

Well, that's uh it's far more interesting than i can say yeah anything about wing stop oh yeah we were supposed to talk about the food falling on eric's car hey this this whole story doubles as my past experience with the restaurant oh there we go we go. All right. I found out, I thought that Wingstop was Wing Street, the thing that's inside. That's a different restaurant? Yeah. I thought Wingstop and Wingstreet

were the same thing, but they're not. Wingstreet is inside like a Pizza Hut or something? Yeah. Domino's? I don't think I've ever been there. I thought Wingstop was the Pizza Hut one and then it branched off.

Oh. Oh, that makes sense. They're too big for their britches. Yeah, but that's probably wrong because I don't have my finger on the pulse of all the wing restaurants. In fact, Jordan, it is wrong, and we can find out more about that in the facts section for Wingstop. Which will probably be coming up very soon. Yeah, I think it would probably be shortly unless someone else has something to add about a time they went to Wingstop. Which will probably be coming up very soon. Yeah, I think it would probably be shortly, unless someone else has something to add about a time they went to Wingstop before.

I don't know if I've ever been to Wingstop. It's right up there with Buffalo Wild Wings. Except even Buffalo Wild Wings, I can say for certainty, I've said, eh, I'll go to Buffalo Wild Wings. I don't know if that's ever happened with Wingstop. So maybe I've been there. I don't think Wingstop is a place you're supposed to go into and eat. I think you're just supposed to take the food and then eat it at your friend's house

while you watch a Raiders game. That's what Wingstop is. Buffalo Wild Wings is like, hey, do you want to drink $3 Budweiser's and then also watch the Raiders game? That's what that is. And as we know, it's Nick's favorite blue cheese. It's true. Having consumed it here today, I would not

be able to tell the chicken apart if you put them next to each other. No, 100% the same, right? I mean, they are 100, we got the boneless wings, they are 100% the exact same, it's the same deal of like, here's the little boneless wing, they're all exactly the same, but whatever flavor you order, that's the little boneless wing. They're all exactly the same, but whatever flavor you order,

that's what we dump on it. That's kind of why I feel like we just ate this. Like with Buffalo Wild Wings being fairly recent, it's like this again? Didn't we do this already? And also off the same car. It's true. It's true.

Although the first time was a little cleaner, I think. Wasn't as windy. Yeah. Yeah. You did something windy. Yeah. Yeah. You did something to anger the big man. Survived the snowstorm. Don't. You talking about Joe Rogan?

Here's the thing about the snowstorm. The big man Joe Rogan? Yeah. That's who I was talking about. We're talking about podcasts. I'm pointing up Top Dog, right? He took away your donkey muscles. He just sucked them right from the bone.

I heard Joe Rogan, when he works out, he says that when he benches, he says that he imagines someone is trying to attack him, and when he's lifting, he's lifting them off his body so it's survival every time he's bench pressing and i think that's the craziest fucking thing i've ever heard that's nuts well is that is that crazier than if you were working out but instead of just kind of grunting when people exert really hard they made like a hee-haw sound like a donkey would that be crazier what i was gonna say about the storm is boy do we look good on a bi-weekly podcast who missed any episodes or what we knew we really got we really got lucky that it just

happened to uh strike oh god yeah because i'll tell you one thing if there's another one in a couple of weeks and it's not well timed we're gonna look like idiots it's true yeah but we'll just assume that'll never happen anyway i think we can move on to the facts. Let's do it. We're the best. We're the greatest. We're heroes. Fact number one. Wingstop was established in Garland, Texas in 1994, one year after the release of Jurassic Park.

Wingstop's first franchise opened in 1997, the same year as the release of The Lost World Jurassic Park. Whoa. Okay. Wow. Do you think they're connected? I don't know yet. I hope the facts go somewhere. Oh, they don't.

No. Oh, if you're, hang on. Let me stop you right there. If you're looking for more Jurassic Park stuff, there's none in the facts. Well, is the next fact going to be, there's like another another big that guy almost took you out jordan just so you know very interesting maneuver by this film this is a very parked here busy parking is this a right now is this a passive aggressive like move on the trucks part that i should it's not passive it's just aggressive strictly aggressive you're about to fucking get crushed

um i was gonna say was there some was there some momentous wing stop event that happened a year before jurassic park 3 oh right what about uh because it's now what about jurassic world whoa what year was that in the sequel yeah they've made five now is that right total yeah yeah uh i confirmed by nick giving me a thumbs up yeah why by so by the numbers i would say i'm not a fan of jurassic park okay correct yeah i like one of them yeah exactly yeah which one that's about a 20 success rate third one third one no the second jurassic world that one's my favorite yeah well well the thing a 20% success rate. Third one. Third one. No. The second Jurassic World. That one's my favorite.

Yeah, well, the thing about the third one is like, Grant comes back and you can finally appreciate him as a character. Because the whole first movie, the first movie, I just kept going,

I don't know about this guy. But by the third movie, he's got too many flaws. He was familiar to me. Right, yeah. When he pretended to get electrocuted by that fence, I thought, this guy sucks.

Why would he do that to those kids? Oh, it's because he hates kids. Because he hates kids. I guess we're still in the middle of the facts. Yeah, we gotta do more facts. It's hard to say. Wingstock has served over one billion wings. Nope, you skipped. God damn it. You skipped the second fact!

You skipped the second fact! I did, and I even said it, because I said this skipped the second fact you skipped the second fact i did and i even said it because i said this is the third fact look we were we got off the facts too long my eyes wandered okay don't yell at me i didn't tell i didn't ask you why we weren't eating inside okay this is like from the lost world to jurassic world and it's like it doesn't make any sense. We're talking about the third movie I went to the third fact. Okay listen in 2015 Wingstop was the third these threes. Wow. Fastest growing restaurant chain in the US and

expanded to over 1,000 stores in over five countries. If you crunch the numbers that's six countries. Wow. Thanks for crunching the numbers so we didn't have to no problem guys that maybe is the boldest use of over number i've ever seen five yep you know usually it's like what's the minimum there 20 yeah 30 yeah over it's like we have over 25 restaurants and it's like yeah

right they're just like we have over five countries and i looked it up six countries that's insane i'll be honest that the third fastest growing restaurant chain in the u.s and you're just left to wonder why yeah how i think it's just so cheap it must just be so cheap to run no i think it was a down year for other restaurants. Oh, damn. Sometimes you gotta read between the lines. Might be right. Now on to the fact that I tried to get it earlier.

That's a cute dog. It's a tiny It's a puppy. It's not just a dog. That's a little puppy. Husky puppy. Oh, it's a popo. Wingstop has served over one billion wings. If you stack these wings on top of each other, it would be taller than Wingstop has served over one billion wings. If you stack these wings on top of each other, it would be taller than four Eiffel Towers and would probably fall over. Where'd you get that?

Where'd you get the fall over fact? Is that from the website? Can you imagine if you tried to put the base on the point? That's what I'm saying. It doesn't make any sense. It just doesn't make any sense structurally. We had two stacked on my car and it blew all the way over. I can't imagine it would stack up.

A slight graze will kill. Now, did the same mathematician who came up with the cheddar baked biscuits. Was it Mount Everest? Was it Mount Everest? Did he crunch these numbers too? Yeah, that's the thing.

I think this is like another unverifiable fact, but you just kind of have to go with it. Also, it's not in any way, it's not impressive. It's not as impressive at all compared to the fact from last time. I don't know. I think the amount of chicken nuggets that they serve is four Eiffel Towers, whatever. That's a lot of Eiffel Towers. Yeah, but it's not a lot of Mount Everest. If you're a French listener, can you go get a chicken nugget, put it next to the Eiffel Tower,

take a picture, and show Jordan the size comparison? Because they're not even close. The Eiffel Tower is so much bigger than a chicken nugget. Right. I'm saying that if it's four Eiffel Towers, that's still shorter than six Mount Everest. Right, but it's way bigger than one chicken nugget. He doesn't, I don't get what's this guy.

That's not my problem. I don't have a problem with the size of the chicken nugget. See, there's a breakdown in communication here is what's happening. I think what we all need to do is take a step back and realize neither is impressive. And they're both just very stupid examples. This argument, this whole discussion, if you stacked it on top of each other, would be taller than 18 Eiffel Towers. And I think we win.

Oh, my God. And you can't verify that. And don't try. And I think we win. Oh my God. And you can't verify that. And don't try. And you can verify this. Is if their example, as opposed to being taller than a building, because who gives a shit how tall the food is? I don't,

I don't even really understand that. I would like an example of like, and if one man had eaten it, he would be 400,000 pounds. That's something I can wrap my head around. I want to see that diagram. I want to see human consumption. Okay.

Yeah. Yeah. Give me something I can work with. I'm not, I'm not a taller expert. Wingstop also has one of those Twitter accounts that will roast you if you tweet at them. Their stock is worth $125 a share. If I can find a correlation, FaceTime will be going IPO soon. Yep.

Ooh. Okay, so here's what we do. We just keep roasting people on Twitter. Even people who aren't even asking for it. Which is most of them. It's pretty much everyone who interacts. Mostly they're just asking questions or giving suggestions. Basically, someone has an interaction with Eric,

and he imagines they spilled blue cheese on his car. Let's go outside the sphere of Face Jam listeners. Let's go dunk on Ted Cruz some more. Stuff like that. Just have an opinion on everything and then oh okay got it our value will be through the roof and then we go that makes sense then we have an initial public yeah our initial public offering is gonna be out of control man well the thing about it's gonna be our ticker oh fj um no because it has to, I think it's three or four. Is it four?

It can be anything, any number between one and four. It could be, FJ might be taken. They're like domains. It could just be one? Can we do like F? Can we do like- F is taken, unfortunately. Colon parentheses, do like a smiley face

Oh yes That's such a good idea I just made up the rules Yes we can do that Alright cool I like that What the fuck is that? Oh that's face jam Let's do a winky face though We can do winky face that's fine

Okay I like it We winking and smiling dude I don't know what that is, but I'm invested. Bye, bye, bye. All right. Now we have to do this. Yeah, but I think Jordan's right. People, you know, Ted Cruz, he was in the news getting dunked on famously.

People see FaceTime dunking on him and they go, what's that? Right. Exactly. You know, who's that dunking on? Wait, they eat food. Why are they dunking on Ted Cruz? And then if someone asks that question, you's that? Right. Exactly. You know, who's that dunking on? Wait, they eat food. Why are they dunking on Ted Cruz? And then if someone asks that question, you dunk on them too. Yeah.

Why do you tell your mama? We'll dunk on her too. Can't win, baby. Watch out, by the way, invest. Yeah, we're going public soon. Get in on the ground floor. Finally. Hang on. It's pronounced Patron. Just so you know. in on the ground floor. Finally. Hang on.

It's pronounced Patron. Just so you know. Go ahead. Patron. Okay. Just so you know. Let's see what he does. Wingstop founders opened a pizza restaurant called Pizza Patron.

Nope. This chain. Yeah. This chain gave you a free pizza for ordering in Spanish, which I attempted to do. However, this is Eric. The only Spanish I know is Yo Quiero Taco Bell. So the employees threw me out and kicked my ass in the parking lot, which ironically had a Taco Bell in it. Did you go get Taco Bell afterward or what? Yeah. Yeah. I just, I gathered my teeth up and I said, Yo Quiero Taco Bell. And I got a

damn, dude, they, They really beat you down. No, because they haven't had beans this week. Oh, no. This is Pizza Patron. Have you guys ever been to Pizza Patron? No. Have you ever heard of it? I've been to Pizza Patron.

That's right. Oh, are you a patron of Pizza Patron? Yeah. No. Well, no, I'm a Patron at Pizza Patron. Thank you for your Patron me age. Tried to think that one through. It just didn't make sense.

Are they on Patrion? Thanks, world. Thanks to all of our Patrons on Patreon. There's something wrong with Jordan. Thanks to all of our patrons on Patreon. There's something wrong with Jordan. He's having a stroke inside of his car. You yelled at him.

He's trying to please you. He's begging for forgiveness. And those are just the straight facts. Yep, straight up. I think we learned a lot. Four Rifle Towers. I really didn't learn anything, honestly. That one I feel, that one didn't tell me much about Wingstop at all.

When it opened, when Jurassic Park, the second one came out. How many stores, how many countries? This all makes sense. Pizza Patron. This is all good. This is all good info. Right. Like one of the Wingstop facts is about another restaurant that's not Wingstop. Right.

But. You know what I mean? But. Okay. Here's the thing. We did that. No. No.

Because last time we did that with Olive Garden and Red Lobster. Remember? Yeah. But we like know so much about them. This place, I really wanted to learn about Wingstop. I taught you so much about Wingstop. What's their mission statement? I learned more about where Taco Bells are than Wingstop. And that you're really weak.

You get your teeth knocked out. I got weak teeth. You don't have enough donkey muscles. Joe Rogan took them all. Oh, man. Well, I don't know what happened on this one. What do you mean? It's okay. I just don't know what happened. The funniest part

was when this food spilled all over your car and the audience can't enjoy that. I will always cherish that memory. There's so many things that happen and i don't remember there was so much blue cheese on eric's car it was so good i mean yeah it's hard to it's hard to say like it's not like a little bit spilled a giant cup and it was really like liquidy blue cheese a whole cup spilled in his car and then escaped down the front of his car right we all just kind of watched it happen

as he scrambled for napkins. Don't worry. Don't worry. I have pictures of it. At least you stopped to take pictures. That was smart. Yeah, but was the picture when the blue cheese was still on it?

I blacked out. I was too busy laughing. Now the front of your car is clean. You're going to have six birds standing on the exact same spot on the front of your car. They're not going to know what is, like, drawing them to it, but you'll know. Yeah, something smells good. Sorry, you're going to have six birds and a man in a monkey mask going, this is the best blue cheese.

This is my favorite. This is the best one. I couldn't tell you if that blue cheese was any different from Buffalo Wild Wings. Like, that felt like the same blue cheese, did it not? It was fine. It was good. I cheese, did it not? I mean, it was fine. Right?

It was good. Yeah. I didn't dislike it, but I wasn't freaking out over it. Mm-hmm. I enjoyed it. Right. I enjoyed it like blue cheese. Yeah, it was fine.

I mean, I don't really have an opinion on sauces, dipping sauces, and how they pair with wings anyway. So, it was fine to me. Like, I know you guys are staunch staunchly anti-ranch but you could serve me a branch and i i wouldn't care i wouldn't say i'm anti-ranch i'm just very pro blue cheese i would never take ranch if i had the option yes they're only ranch i would eat it yep okay i feel the same way yeah especially with like with wing like wings are just better with that blue there's something about the blue cheese the creaminess and like ranch is so like watery it's just thin it doesn't it just doesn't do the job that blue cheese does

blue cheese superior i think we're talking about the food too much how did everyone fare uh during the winter it's true oh um i didn't lose power, so I was just, you know, if you had power, they were asking you to conserve. But I thought about it, and I thought, no, I'm going to use power for all the people that wish they could be. Wow. You know what I mean? So it's like, let me fire up my oven, you know, my electric oven.

Let me, you know. Yeah, honestly, very cool. I cranked the AC just that I cranked on the first floor. I had the heat and then the second floor I had the AC. Oh, you're trying to do kind of like a tornado. Well, it would equalize the house. Yeah. Yeah, dude.

I was lit up like Times Square. So that was cool. Yeah. Well, that's, that's what people would expect. You're the hero, and you're here for the people. And I think that's very selfless of you. Yeah, there was at one point I was really hot, and I was like, I could turn the heat off,

but this is for them. This is for those without. He opened his window, and he yelled, you're welcome, and then he shut his window again. Easy stuff. I'm just kidding. I went to Cancun. That's a smart move.

Get out there. It's cold here. Don't be an idiot. Just bring Cancun to you. That's what you do. Just crank up the heat. Make it Cancun at home. Well, my kid had a play date. Oh, that makes sense. Your infant children were like, up the heat yeah yeah make it at home well well my kid it was my kid had it yeah played it oh that makes your infant children were like yeah yeah yeah it was they were like goo and i went okay i'm buying the tickets right can cancun i hear you loud and clear cancun can do yep

it's crazy they kept saying that your evil daughters kept saying stop the steal and you had to do something about it and you know it is what it is stop the steal of electricity is what they meant I wanted Wendy's like two days before everything happened and I just went I'll get it later

and then everything happened and I was hurting I wanted that Wendy's you gotta carpe that dm man yeah right oh he oh he did i did get wendy's later and it was so good i love a happy ending really really glad that this worked out for you nobody still has drinks yet that lasted this place for so long well it's because like you know right in the perfect timing with the power coming back in the state they're

like okay good now all the water is fogged just so you know it's either gone or it's yucky and you gotta boil it so i so i think that kind of just put out all the fast food restaurants right like i'm guessing that's why they don't have think that kind of just put out all the fast food restaurants. Right. I'm guessing that's why they don't have drinks. They're just being lazy. I think they're keeping them for themselves. I think the employees are saying, I'm not going to eat drinks. Wow.

Oh, no. It's an on purpose thing. And they're getting away with it. They are. It's true. It's true. It's fucked up. I think by the time this episode goes out we'll correct the situation that's what i'm that's what i'll say is that we here at face jam will correct the

drink situation here and that's do you guys think boiled water tastes different absolutely nick says yes tweeted eric if you think it if it doesn That's a good call. I don't know that I've ever drank straight boiled water. Straight boiled. Like, I don't mean like right off the heat. No, but I'm more, I mean, if I've boiled water, it's for like tea or something. I've never boiled water, let it sit and then consumed it. I've learned that like after like the the weather phenomenon that occurred we had to boil our water and for drinking and i just noticed that it tasted weird

i don't know if you had that problem where you i did not i did not because um if i've ever had boiled water notice, which I've had a couple times, I just won't drink water. What? What? Interesting. I've never had it for more than like a day. And so I'm just like,

I'm just not going to drink that. Two, What do you do? You don't drink water? Well, if I had a boiled water notice that was going to last for like a day, I would go, I'm not going to do that. I'll just drink something else.

I'll drink juice. I'll drink whatever. And then I'll come back to the water when it's all good and I'll have to boil it. There are days when you don't drink water? Two. I have about eight five-gallon jugs of filtered water in my house at all times. There you go. Because I left over. That should have been number one. That should have been number one.

That should have been fact one. Fact two shouldn't have been that I have water. This is why Eric's the fact master. He knows how to organize them. Hang on. I didn't get to fact three yet. I didn't get to fact three yet. There's a third fact. Fact three, I wasn't

under boil notice. What? So, across the board, it didn't come up. Well, you didn't let me finish. That's like writing an article about Murderer on the Loose and you put it in the third paragraph. You're just like, it was a nice day out today. Everyone was having a good time. A man is on the loose after killing seven yeah everyone needs to stay indoors you know because people don't want to be doom scrolling you know they go murder i'm gonna keep going they've written about a nice day now

they're hooked oh the murder is in the middle well i'm already here I'll finish it like I finished my clean water delicious that has me that has me wondering like can you doom scroll a podcast you just like jump skip it in that 15 second advance I think that's maybe the that may be the only way that some people can get through these episodes

skip skip skip donkey muscles skip skip skip they're muscles. Skip, skip, skip. They're back on the ghost talk. All right. We're 40 minutes in. Let's talk about the food from the restaurant. So we have a breakdown of all of the the goods uh the first one is the hot lemon wings and here is the description this remix of

the classics adds the kick of original hot that's uh capitalized both words to the beloved, capitalized Lemon Pepper Seasoning, creating a combo that's equal parts zesty and spicy. So they took two flavors and combined them. They took their original hot and lemon pepper and was like, now kiss. Yeah, I think they only have like 11 or 12 flavors. Well, I mean, that's like 144 combinations, baby. They just keep combining them. Something to consider, I suppose. Yeah.

Bayou Barbecue, inspired by the flavor-mixing voodoo of Noland's wing lovers. Oh, damn. This flavor combines hickory smoked barbecue with a spike of Cajun seasoning. Damn, I like the accent. You put that accent on there. That's pretty good. Yeah, that's how it's supposed to be read. I also like that they, because

they mentioned New Orleans, they had to mention Bayou and Voodoo. And Cajun. I've never been to New Orleans, but here's what I know about it. Whoever wrote this copy is absolutely how it went.

I'm surprised they didn't mention, like, you know, Bourbon Street. They ever see Disney's Princess and the Frog? Mm-hmm. That's where they made this. Lemon garlic wings. Oh, boy, I love this. The Romeo and Juliet of the flavor world.

Often kept apart but meant to be together. Garlic parmesan wings have been united with iconic lemon pepper kissed with savory goodness. I hope this story doesn't end in tragedy. That's not written there. I feel like it already has.

He added that. That's a little punch up at the end. He's a writer. I understand. Why? He just racked his brains. They said, this is lemon garlic wings. And he went, Rubio and Juliet. There's something there.

The families hate each other. I can find it. Yeah, I hate lemon and garlic together i guess i don't get it are they often kept apart is that i've never i've never been fighting for that is that a rivalry i missed if you go to buffalo wild wings and you ask for like a combined you get like a two flavor thing and they go those have to be on separate plates sir yeah uh you went you came to a two flavor thing and they go, those have to be on separate plates, sir. Yeah. You came to a house capulet wing stuff. You're not allowed.

A house capulet. I bite my thumb at you, sir. Do you bite your wing at me, sir? Eric's was better. Edit mine out. Yeah yeah but he needed yours he needed he needed to step on the back of yours to get to yours

that's why it's necessary you were the ugly friend hey who who thought when we were watching Eric clean blue cheese off his car earlier, who thought we'd be making Romeo and Juliet references? Oh, I didn't.

I wouldn't have guessed it. Oh, my God. All right, and finally we have the press material. Inspired by the outpouring of flavor mentions on social media, we identified thousands of social posts dating back to 2019 that referenced these flavor remixes and asked for their return. Did a computer write this? That is exactly how that felt, right? Isn't that insane?

Yeah, it's not wrong, though. Here's the press material. You say food, we made it. I'm going to create a bot that just like combines flavors and at tags wingstop. And let's see what happens in 2023. I wanted to include it because they keep talking about these flavors as remixes. And I'm like, why do they keep like, oh, maybe it wasn't. Is that what Buffalo Wild Wings did too? I don't know that they call them remixes, but like wingstop does.

And I don't know why, because these are just some of't know that they call them remixes but like wing stop does and i don't know why because these are just some of the flavors that they had they're not different in 2019 they had these as part of like a super limited run and now they're like hey they're back for a little while it's but they keep calling them remixes but they're not different what's the remixing they they probably went away just as Face Jam was getting started because the show started in late 2019. They got scared. They were like, we gotta bring these back to these guys. Shaking their

fucking boots. Holy shit, dude. And now that we've reviewed it, they're gonna be gone. They're gonna be gone by the time this episode comes out. They wanted to escape the wrath of Face Jam like Moon Cheese could not. Look. Y not. Look. Yucky.

Ten. Ten. I'll be honest. I ate the leftover Moon Cheese, and I fucking liked it. Yeah, you said that. That doesn't surprise me. Yeah. You little vermin.

It's really cheesy. You crush them up and lick them off the table? No, I like it. Mmm. Tate. Squeeze, squeeze. Who told you? off the table? No, and I'm like, mmm, tape, mmm, squeak, squeak, who told you?

Um, well, that's that. Oh, here we go. Hang on. Getting the food, it was down the street,

but you can't pay online. What was that like, Eric? You have to pay at the restaurant. Someone, like, took my card and had to hand it back.

It's ridiculous. Let me ask you this. Yeah. Did you download the right app? You can just order online on this one, buddy. Probably didn't get the app. That's why you couldn't pay. It says online.

It's like you can pay at the store. You can't pay online. Sorry. And it's like, damn. But you can use the app is what he's saying. You know what would have been easier? You could have called and then read your credit card number to the guy at the restaurant. Would that have been easier?

It would have solved this problem you're complaining about. I'm just saying. You can't. I don't even think they would have let me do that. I don't think they would have let me. They would have said no fucking way. Wow. Is it really down the street?

I don't know where Wingstop is. It's over by Target. Really? Yeah. Oh, that's hilarious to me. One of its 12 million locations. is it really down the street i don't know where wing stop is it's over by target really yeah oh that's hilarious one of its 12 million locations all right is this one of the the five counties the five counties we're in it's good stuff but now we have to review the food you guys have to let everyone know if they need to get this stuff okay um most important part is it yeah why do you sound so disinterested and why are you looking down Everyone know if they need to get this stuff. Okay. Most important part. Is it? Yeah.

Why do you sound so disinterested, and why are you looking down? Yeah. I'm getting my calculator open, so that way I can do the score when you guys need to average them. Okay. Well, you're bringing the mood down. That's all I'm saying. Me? You seem like you're losing focus right at the very end.

Not at all. I had to get my calculator. All right. What he means is this is his favorite and most important part of the show. Yeah, I need to know what you guys thought. Because he's part of it. He controls the power. Yeah.

We wouldn't know what the average is without him. Right? I refuse to do the work. I just don't know how math works. I won't carry nothing. I won't carry the one. I won't carry the show. That's why we got this guy.

That's right. Thanks, Nick. Yeah, we put it all on him. I bought him a jacket and never even mentioned it. It's just in the pictures now. It's really gracious. He just started wearing a jacket one day. I'm sure everyone looking at the pictures was like,

that makes sense. Okay. I saw in the Slack again Wingstop go by and I'm sure you listed the flavors or whatever and I was like, whatever, we'll eat the wings. And then they showed up and I was like up i don't know what we're eating so i'm gonna try to guess the flavors i couldn't guess the lemon garlic one i definitely

tasted the garlic uh lemon was not as pronounced but once you told me i was like i guess it's there definitely tasted the barbecue and it felt like not from the flavor but from the little like seasonings they put on it they were trying to go for something else. And I just guessed zesty and I was right. And then you just told me that it was hot lemon. And that one was actually my favorite one. I thought that one was great. I think that's the real Romeo and Juliet combination.

I thought that one worked really well. Not too spicy for a little spice mouse like me but just like tart and sour enough with the lemon I thought it was a good balance if I was just rating those that one is like an 85

wow yeah I really liked it I would have ate more if the wind hadn't punished you well I'll try to see if we can eat inside next time. Thanks. I'd really appreciate it. Yeah.

If you could just do a better job. Yeah, no problem. The Bayou BBQ and Lemon Garlic were like, they were fine. Like unremarkable, I would say. I didn't really go back to those ones as much as the hot lemon. I didn't really go back to those ones as much as the hot lemon. So I think combination score for all three of these, tallying it up, carrying the one in my head, I'm going to go 78.

Wow. That's a good score. That's a very good score. From J-Dog. Yeah. From J-Dog, 78. Wow. 78, dog. Thank you thank you yeah they were good i ate them

do you remember what they tasted like it feels like buffalo wild wings right it's it feels exactly like buffalo wild where i couldn't tell you what any of the flavors were exactly we're all saying this and we're all agreeing and Nick is over there shaking his head profusely. Adamantly. Is he really? He's going to give himself whiplash. He's shaking his head so much. I'm sure there's like a difference of salt molecules

in the sauce or something that he's aware of. Their fries are really good. I'll give them that. Their fries were good. Those were good fries. They're very seasoned, like Five Guys. Yeah, Five Guys. They're all kind of fine. Here's the thing.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon. Oh. So it was fine. It was stronger than what I would have liked. I could see if someone who likes lemon saying, ooh, there's a hint of lemon. If someone who doesn't like lemon, I go, Hey, there's that lemon. Yeah.

You go, you go, but it wasn't, it wasn't like overpowering. Lemon joke. Nick got it. Yeah, no, he's, that's the second one you've made today. We gave you the first one. I didn't want to make the other one again. Okay. Okay. Great, thank you.

Appreciate the consideration. I think my favorite was the barbecue because there was no lemon in it. Right. But if you like lemon, I can sure understand you enjoying these i think i probably like the lemon garlic better than the hot just because i love garlic and and i mean it's called lemon garlic it's lemon garlic and clearly covered in fucking cheese yeah yeah it's like parmesan cheese they don't mention it it was it's in the it's in the

copy but it's not it's not the headline event right but it was there and i noticed okay that's the one i kept going back for before joe rogan flexed and the gust knocked it over his donkey knocked over but you know they were all pretty good the funny thing is i'll sit here and say i 100 agree couldn't tell the difference between buffalo wild wings and i'll rate these three You know, they were all pretty good. The funny thing is, I'll sit here and say I 100% agree, couldn't tell the difference between Buffalo Wild Wings. And I'll rate these three. And I'm going to say all three, I'm probably willing to go with 70. Okay.

Have no idea what I rated Buffalo Wild Wings. Could have been a 40. Yeah. I don't remember. Even though I tell you right now, I couldn't tell the difference. I agree 100% and probably also rated it lower, but I think those flavors deserved a lower rating because they were fucking a weird one.

That's true. We have different flavors. Yeah, these weren't weird. These were pretty standard flavors. These were normal. Yeah. These were like your Romeo and Juliet flavors. Oh, yeah.

These seem like they would be regular flavors on buffalo wild wings menu yeah yes but because they were apparently right but but for some reason like wing stop is like guys we're really blowing it out on this one the lemon garlic okay we're really going out on a limb on this one our 125 share price might take a hit from this yeah it's like yeah guys we're going nuts barbecue whoa from the bayou yep but that's an average score is 148 oh that's not how we do that you have to divide by two so you have that that's why that's why he's the numbers guy. All right.

That makes sense. All right. Here comes the snack. Snack time. Those were pretty good. I wish we had more of them. Yeah. You want to like stop the Wingstop on the way home?

What's his problem? Dude, he's in a mood. Oh, hi, friend. What's up? Hey, he's in a mood. Oh, hi, friend. What's up? Hey, buddy. Thanks. Hey. Appreciate all the hard work.

Fuck it, baby. No, I think you're doing a great job. Oh, boy. I'm not looking forward to this Is Michael making fun of me? No Yeah I heard it I think it picked up Some bullshit

What a nice You guys suck What are you talking about dude? Compliment a guy for his work? Hard work? The most dead- Give me like the most dead-eyed thumbs up.

It's like getting a thumbs up from a fish. It's like, what the fuck? I'm gonna try to open this. Okay. Yeah, how the fuck- Hey, can I have some of your teeth you got knocked out?

So what you guys are eating, what you guys are digging into. I have the thing that you can cut yourself out of your seatbelt. If you're trapped underwater in your car, will that work? Well, I don't know. Does that work on candy canes?

Well, if you slide it in like a seatbelt, Nick already got his open. He's m if you slide it in like a seatbelt. Nick already got his open. He's munching through it. He's a fucking monster. He hit his monkey teeth. Monkey clawed it open.

I have Visine. Oh, that's good. Does that help? No. Probably not for this. Well, I can't open it, so. I'm making some headway here. I broke it. I broke here. I broke it.

I broke it. I broke it. Honestly, that might be the way to go. I dropped it! Never mind. I dropped it! This doesn't count as eating sounds because I'm not eating it. I'm just using my teeth to open it. Well, don't put your microphone right next to your teeth.

No, Nick's going to edit this out. It's fine. What the fuck am I licking what the fuck is this well thank you to Carrie hold on hold on oh Jesus

ew gross what the fuck is this oh I know what this is yeah I'm guessing is it popcorn no it tastes like popcorn and like butter interesting Oh, I know what this is. Yeah? I'm guessing. Caramel corn? Is it popcorn? No. It tastes like popcorn and, like, butter. Interesting.

What is it? Oh, it's mac and cheese. Oh, it smells like mac and cheese in my car now. What the fuck is happening? Ugh. Read the note. Ugh. Hello, Face Jam.

After binging the show for 23 hours straight on a road trip, I just had to send you a snack. It was either this or the clam flavored ones, but I didn't want you to hate me too much. Keep snacking from Carrie Flue D. Honestly, I don't. Doesn't say what it is, though. I don't know how the clam one could have been worse than this oh i bet it absolutely could have been um well if you want to find out somebody sent them to us and we can eat them

but i chose oh dude this it smells way worse than it tastes and it doesn't taste good it smells like cooked mac and cheese in my car now i had to to throw it out. What kind of mac and cheese are you cooking? This is repulsive. Nick, do you like it? Fuck no. This is awful. Why do you keep eating it? He's like sucking the whole thing down.

Fuck no. He was pissed that you asked. Incredible. Incredible. So this is mac and cheese? Is that what it is? Yeah, it's mac and cheese. Do you think this is worse than the moon cheese?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. I think that's like our low bar thing. Oh, yeah. I would gladly take that over this because- I do the moon cheese all day. Shut up, Eric. Who cares what you think?

Not only is this disgusting, but it's also fucking sticky, and I hate it. Yeah. Candy canes are like the stupidest fucking thing ever invented. I agree. They're fucking awful. They're also not supposed to reek. Peppermint should only be a little fucking circle you can pop in your mouth. Little candy.

You done. No stick. No mess. This is a fucking nightmare. And mac and cheese should only be in your mouth. Little candy. You're done. No stick. No mess. This is a fucking nightmare. And mac and cheese should only be in pasta form. This also doesn't even really taste like mac and cheese. It does not. It tasted like popcorn.

Right. I think we were closer with popcorn. It was like popcorn and like gross butter is what I got. Not cheese. Awful. This is awful. Definitely not Mac. Not even Mac tonight. It smells like vomit.

Once you've licked it, you activate it. Yeah, it's weird, huh? The bottom doesn't smell as much. It's like when you break a glow stick and then it just goes crazy. It's repulsive. I'm going to go ahead and give this yeah yeah it's like when you break a glow stick and then it just it goes crazy yeah it's it's

oh it's repulsive i'm gonna go ahead and give this a three what yeah um my my i had i throw it out because like my air is running and it just started blowing it in my i'm still holding it you are i gotta walk i gotta walk all the way to the trash can to get rid of it. I'll pick it up and throw it away, but it needs to be away from me for now. I give it a two. Average score of 2.5. This sucks. Dude, give me that moon cheese back. You got some more

moon cheese in there? I don't have any more moon cheese in here. This is terrible. Well, new lowest bar. 2.5. The snack is 2. Well, new lowest bar. Why would you beat this? The snack is 2.5. I can't wait to try the clam one and see if we can go even lower. We can do the clam one on the next one, I guess. It's going to be awful.

Kudos to you, Carrie. Way to go, Carrie. Yeah, thanks. Sick. In the worst way possible. Way to send us the worst snack we've ever eaten. Hey-oh. Way to send us the worst snack we've ever eaten. Hey-oh. Way to go.

Wait till we try those bugs. Weird science. Did you hear it? Did you hear the segue? Yeah, I caught that. Snacks! Alright, we gotta replace the shitty ask for snacks that you did at the end of the episode, because you really fucked it up. Yeah, I

really bungled it. You bungled it. Jordan, what do we have to ask for? You can do it, Jordan. You can do it. You got this. Come on. I want to say it's ricey snacks?

Do not send us spider snacks. Oh. No. Spider snacks. Kind of like that idea. A little chocolate covered Spidey. Absolutely not. For a little rat.

A guy messaged me and he said hey do you know that because you said not to send uh you bugs more people are going to send you bugs and i said did you know less people have sent us bugs because i said this and then he replied like no they're still getting the satisfaction of getting a reply and i went so what's this conversation what i just told him he was right and he moved on. You know what the craziest part about that was? That guy was a bug. He was actually a chocolate-covered bug. He had a thorax and feelers. It was all fucked up.

Wild, dude. Guys, I think we're getting a little lost. Well, you didn't tell us we did it. You're the one that dragged it out. I was about to get it. Okay, you're... Spicy. Spicy snacks. Spicy snacks. Here we go. You know, I'm it. Okay. Spicy. Spicy snacks.

So what we're asking you guys for, for I don't want to call it a snack attack, but for some stuff that we might have coming up shortly, we're looking for spicy snacks. We're not looking for Pocky one chip challenge. That's going to be the thing that everyone goes, Hey, I'm going to send them that.

No, we're looking for like interesting. It's just like, you know, hot type stuff. Yeah. Get us some like, you know,

we're looking for some hot, spicy snacks to spice up these rats. We're not looking, we're not looking to die. Right. We want to turn this mouse into a rat. I'm looking at Jordan. That's what we're trying to do. You're looking at me?

How are you doing that? Yeah. Because you have a picture next to your. That's true. I'm looking right at your picture. That is not me. Yeah. Is it not?

I thought that's what you looked like. Anyway, if you want to send us spicy snacks, you can send us regular snacks too. This isn't saying like, hey, don't send us anything. We're saying the things that we're looking for specifically. We're going to throw them all out. Our spicy snacks, and you can send those to 1901 East 51st Street, Austin, Texas, 78723.

That's what we're looking for. Bonus points if they're both spider-shaped and spicy. Nope. If it's bugs, I'm not sure. You said spider-shaped. I didn't say an actual spider. Clean your ears out, shitty. What's your favorite spider-shaped

food? Gummies. Goldfish. Spider gummy. I gave a real answer. I've never seen a spider before. In your life? Dude, it'll put the fear of God in you. Seven legs I can deal with, but once you go beyond that,

spiders and octopus, I don't like them. Good luck editing this one, Nick. Can you take us back? Can you segue again, Michael? Thank you. Take us back where? It's over. I know.

This is the end of the episode. No, there's the stuff that we talked about that was really funny after that. Oh, hang on. I'm going to send for help. Weird science. You can also follow at FaceJamPod on Twitter to stay up to date on everything. We'll have some more stuff and some announcements coming in probably the next, when this is out, in like the next month.

We will? Yeah, we have some bigger stuff coming. Eric's going to make us do stuff. Yeah. He's signing us up for stuff again. Hey, I will say the thing that I talked to you about last time, the thing that I showed you and I said, hey, this is probably happening, it got even bigger, but I don't know quite what that means yet.

Whoa. Like it's swollen? Yes. Oh, it's got some donkey muscles on it. We're swolled up and ready to burst is kind of what it's looking like. It wasn't looking like it was going to be a big thing and now it's looking like it's going to be bigger

than it was initially. So it grew. Like it's consumed maybe one billion wings? Four Eiffel Towers worth? Yeah, how many towers are we talking about? Yeah, can you put it in perspective for us? How many Eiffels Towers worth? Yeah, how many towers are we talking about? Yeah, can you put it in perspective for us? How many Eiffels should this be? How many Eiffels are we talking?
