TikTok on the clock, but the party don't stop. Tonight, I'm a try some TikTok foods, all right? I don't think I get the reference. I really don't think I do. I can't sing it. We'll get sued. This is a hot dog is a sandwich. Ketchup is a smoothie.

Yeah, I put ice in my cereal. So what? That makes no sense. A hot dog is a sandwich. A hot dog is a sandwich. What? Welcome to our podcast, A Hot Dog is a sandwich, the show we break down the world. biggest food debates. I'm your host Joshair. And I'm your host Nicole in I.E. And today we are

wandering into the tremendously unfriendly waters of TikTok yet again. I have fully deleted the app from my phone for the last several months. I am finally free. I'm so much more engaged now. Are you really? Yeah, I've kind of transitioned a little bit from Instagram Reels to TikToks. They're the same. No, they're not. They're the same. We upload all of the same. Our videos, we upload all of the same ones. I understand. I understand that. It's always fun whenever like I see. like an Instagram reel that I saw on TikTok like a minute ago, you know what I mean? That's always a fun little... That's always fun for you. Yeah, like, oh my God, the algorithm really does know me. So funny. But I will say this. I do not like things on TikTok. Okay. But I do like things on Instagram Reels. And I think it's because I don't want... I think I want my TikTok to be more organically served to me instead of like the way... Why are you looking at me like that?

What a brave new world that we live in? Okay. I don't like it. by Aldous Huxley, and Josh is trying to be like, oh, we're going to do eugenics in five minutes, and I'm like, it's already here. So, yeah. Do I talk about the looming thread of eugenics all the time? No, but they talk about it in Brave New World, don't they? Yeah, of course.

Yeah, I read the book. I remember I used to read before I got a cell phone. It was interesting. Aldous Huxley was very anti-drug in that. He uses, like, soma as like an opiative of the masses kind of situation. And then he started doing drugs. And he was like, oh, this is awesome. And then I believe he wrote Doors of Perception.

Didn't read that one. That was a required reading. Here, talk about TikTok. I'm going to Google to make sure that I'm not spreading this information. So TikTok is known as a social media platform invented by China. Right? And it is. What do you mean?

It's Chinese. Yeah, bite dance, right? It was called bite dance originally. I don't, bite dance. Isn't that what TikTok is originally called was bite dance? Do you mean musically? Oh, you're right. Musically.

I don't know what bite dance is. Bite dance is a parent company, I think. Oh, okay. I don't know. I don't know. And basically, it just serves you the content that you need to watch. And everyone's for you page. That's like the page that's dedicated to you.

It's different, which I think is so fun, which is what leads us to our conversation today. TikTok food trends, they are very, very broad. And I think they do capture the hearts and minds of people. But there's also ones that are quite niche and quite tailored to the person. watching it on the other side. Do you think that it is a dereliction of duty for my job that I don't have TikTok on my phone? Like do I, should I be knowing these things? I don't think it's necessary for you to be on TikTok. Okay, good. I think I should be on TikTok. Have you had, I'm so glad that we have you as an emissary out there on TikTok. Of course. Are there any TikTok trends that you've

seen that you're like, oh, I'm going to, I'm going to seek this out in real life? No. Because I did this recently. Julia and my wife She was like Diet Coke. Sorry, I had two bananas for breakfast. The bananas mix the Diet Coke and stomach. Yes, you're bananas make you burp. We've known this. We've known this. We've known this. Julia said

that there's viral Korean ice creams on the TikTok. Okay. And they're shaped like fruits. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And their mango and their peach. Yeah, yeah. And there's a couple other ones. I got those. I'm just kidding. TikTok trended.

What? Oh, today? Oh. I'm just kidding. I think, no, they're months old now. I only get them with their months old. But they sell them at Gelson's and it's actually a great fun because all the tech talkers are like, oh my God, it took me six weeks. It took me six weeks to get these. And I went and they are really the best ice cream treats I've ever had in my life. Good. You've got to get these, dude. They're so good. I'll try them. Look, I think they're Korean. Yeah. I don't know. I'm not sure. But it's like the easy peely gummies. You know the gummy peely peelys that like, but like that's an example of like something happening on TikTok that garnered a lot of, like, response. And now it's like in major retailers all over the place. It's true. Fruit riot is also a great example of this.

True fruit. Oh, true. Yeah. Frozen fruit. What's the other one that's not true for? Because I remember... Fruit riot. Oh, that's the grapes that are covered in like just ballic acid.

We've had that together. Yeah. I don't... I'm not to start salad anything. But that was, I remember the... They were good. What did the... It was like kind of E.

D-coded. Oh, you're talking about the... The grapes with the lime juice? Oh my God. Nature's candy or whatever. Nature's Sour Patch Kids. Yeah, nature's sour patch kids. Yes, yes, absolutely.

Yes, yes, yes. Well, hey, listen, TikTok ain't all that bad. Josh thinks it's really bad. I think it is up to you to determine how much it controls your life. Sure. Well, I think we live in an interesting time where we have more access to food and entertainment and all of life's pleasures. We live like kings. But we're more depressed than ever.

And I think we got to figure out why. And I think it can kind of start with deleting all the apps on your phone. Or maybe hitting your phone to the hammer. But then I would have never met you. If I deleted, if I hit my phone with a hammer, I would have never Instagram DM'd you. And then we wouldn't have this beautiful friendship for the past six and a half years. Oh, you can totally use Instagram on desktop. That's what I've been doing.

I'm serious, dude. I'm ripping Instagram desktop. I do. Desktop is fine. But you know what I mean? Like, a lot of good things have happened from... It's just the same. You can kind of scroll. I've done that.

I do that too. Sometimes when I don't have my phone, I get it. But I'm just saying that's an example of like an app that like was a good thing that happened, right? Wouldn't you agree? I'm scrolling TikTok. Be quiet. I'm giving you the micro. I'm scrolling TikTok.

Should we try our first time? I'm scrolling TikTok. So remember when I was out like with maternity leave stuff? And you had KG here? Yeah, I do remember that. And you told KG that I don't watch this podcast? Yes. That was mean.

Wait, did I say that? Yeah, you said Nicole doesn't watch this podcast. I do. Actually, that was a joke because I know that you do. You watch more of Mythical's content than any other employee at Mythical. I do. And I thought you guys had so much fun. I'm like, you know what, let's run it back.

Let's do it again. I want to try some TikTok food trends with you. Hell yeah. Perfect. The true OGs. No time it is. It's pomegranate season. So that means juicy.

Lavashire rolls. You get a. Juicy Lavalcacac roll, dunk it in the molasses. I'm gonna touch it. Pomeranet. This is great. This is, it's just oozing and it's dripping. Hmm.

You guys, I haven't had this combination. This is... I've been at this combination ever. These pomegranates for me. If you're a day one on here, you know. I'm not a day one. Sorry, Sia. Just like, re-dip it in the molasses.

So that makes it like super sticky. And you get your bowl of pomegranate. McGurnet, you dip it in, and you... Yum. That looks so good, my mouth is watering. Okay. So what are your thoughts and feelings? What the hell's going on?

What are you confused about? People watch this? Look at all the views it has. I know. That's crazy. And people have redone this a million times. I bet they have. It's such a specific angle.

It's just she's right there and it's dripping in your face. And, you know, not that there's anything untoward about that. There's nothing wrong with that. But I think, but a lot of the foods that pop off, there's like a sort of oozing Kronenbergian quality to it. I will say this. None of the foods we have today require a fork and knife. And I think that is intentional. And I think that is a thing.

That TikTok food, you don't need to fuss around with like, with like, you know, utensils and stuff. And the hacks are all just putting things together. There's no actual, like, cooking. You know, like the sweet potato one would be the last time. You're just shoving cheese into it. Okay, do you want to show you how? You do it. You do it. You go first.

Okay. So it already has pomegranate molasses in there, but I have some extra if we want. I love pomegranate molasses. I made pomegranate molasses clays the other day, and they were really nice. That sounds delicious. Okay. So I'm going to rip this in havesies because why not? Are you a lavishak friend?

Are you a friend of Lavoischak? Do you like it? I haven't had Lavoshock in. a long time probably since I ate it with you on a episode we did What's this lavishak made out of? It doesn't specify but most lavashacks Are either made. This one is a darker

One so it's probably made out of stone fruit Or barberries Or pomegranate It's so tart It's so delicious. It's tart delicious People are loving sour shit these days Thank God the American palin you see more sour stuff Does it? Is that true?

Do you eat any sour foods? All the time. Like, I mean, I cook with... Mountain Dew does not count as sour. What do you think? Do you think I'm, like, from, like, fucking white trash and apple after that's crazy? No, I'm... No, I'm done...

Southern California. No, I mean, like, soft drinks that have, like, like, monster energy or whatever. Weird, give me the plate, please. I'm dripping everywhere. The pomegranate, the dipping in it and the pomegranate is so horrible. That's an awesome combination, dude. I will say, not being near a hot sink makes me anxious right now, covered in pomegranate molasses. Yeah.

I do. Yeah, I guess we do need to eat more sour foods, huh? I mean, also, this is like, so, it's so delicious, and it's not very sweet either, which I like. I think it's tremendously sweet. It's so sour that it doesn't seem as sweet, but I think, like... The perceived sweetness is different. Yeah, no, you're right. This is, God, my mouth is just, it's a gusher right now.

It's a gusher right now. Kaiser of saliva in my mouth hole. Really, really good. Wow. No, the freshness of the pomegranate, kind of popping. It's like boba. That is really, Logan, you got to get in on this, dude. It was awesome.

It's like popping boba. It's like... It's like... It's like a natural popping boba situation. Damn. Yeah, why don't... Why aren't we just putting more pomegranate seeds in drinks like boba? This is nature's boba.

Pomegranate seeds are such a labor of love. They say that if in Persian, like... They say if you love someone, you'll peel them a whole crate of pomegranates because it's so much energy and your hands get stained and there's such a process to it. So I think that's a big thing. I didn't do that today. I just bought these from the store. Yeah, Sam. Honestly, dude, breaking down a whole pomegranate is so annoying.

Which is one of those things. You put it in water and you like bash it with a spoon. I don't do it that way. I think it takes out all the pomegranate juice that way. Yeah. But people do do it do it that way. I do think this is a delicious hack. And you know what gets people to eat more fruit?

Dude, this is great. This is great. I give a solid nine. I can't. Maybe the only thing preventing it is the fact that like it's really tough to eat more. Sure. It's so sour. But also that's a good thing about a food, right?

Yeah. There's limits to it. I'm so satisfied with that half a lava shock that I ate dipped in the promulgarene seeds. Same, same. Oh my God. Whoa. Wow. Going strong.

Starting strong. I'm going to give it a 10. Not because I'm Persian. It's just a really, really good combo. It's phenomenal. You can give it a 10 because you're Persian, dude. I can. Yeah, you can.

Thank you, white man. Thank you, white man, for giving me permission to be Persian. Nicole, I know what this one is. What is it? This is called Pringles. So, close. In a tennis ball can. Can you imagine what else is in there?

No. Wait, what can I? What the... It's chocolate It's called the Pringles Chocolate block And this is where we're at in society We are pouring

Tons And I think maybe like Hold what Huh huh? What did you do? So we're shooting this on a Monday I spend my weekend Filling a Pringles can up with

Catberries dairy milk That's the cut What accent was that? It was offensive to whomever It was directed towards I'm not really sure Tedberries milk chocolate. But I didn't happen.

I'm from a very specific part of Wales. Exactly. That was Welsh. You probably don't know it. That was Welsh. Yeah, that was Welsh. That was Welsh. I'm from Frimder of Huenhwin.

Stop. I'm so sorry to all my Kamarai brothers and sisters out there. So, this is a Pringle's container stuffed to the brim with melted chocolate that I let hardened in my own fringham. over the weekend. And I think we should crack into it. But, you know, the fun part about this video, these videos are like, people are like, how am I going to open it? Well, I guess I'll just cut it.

What? Like, there's this whole, like, there's, like, such acting going on, like actors, you know? This is a sex thing, too, like the level? She's like the other one? I don't know. I don't think the other one was, like, a real sex thing. I think, you know what? We need to make a TikTok trend.

Dominican spaghetti in a bag Dominican spaghetti Look up Dominican spaghetti in a bag Okay We need to put olives in it Okay I want Dominican spaghetti in a bag To be the next TikTok trend

No problem You know what I mean Okay Logan Let's watch that video If you're one of our many Dominican listeners Can you please tell us If you've ever had the experience

Of putting spaghetti in a bag And take me to the beach Because I think our like Beach food options are limited And like Watch the video Kind of bad and dumb You shouldn't have hand foods at the beach.

Beach should be fork foods. Watch the video. I just turned a whole can of pringles into a giant chocolate block. And I'm not even going to lie, this feels like one of those viral ideas that should have stayed in my head. But here we are.

I'm using chocolate chips because they melt faster. Do it the old school way, skip the microwave, thank me later. Get you a can of pringles. I'm using the OG ones, pouring enough chocolate to cover the pringles completely, then place it in the fridge overnight. The next day, you'll have a solid,

block of the world's best chocolate pringles, tear it open like those biscuits you get at the store, using a sharp knife, chop it up however you like, and now you've got a solid little cheat snack for the week. Man, Picasso, follow me for more. Wait, he invented. Boyd Brown invented this. He did not invent it. There's actually another video of someone inventing it, apparently, in 24. We can watch that one, if you want to see. Yes. So Katie's cracked it. I don't want to talk about it. Because this is her making the viral Pringles chocolate. I did it first.

Back in 2024. Does anyone know the first documented? It's maybe the first document. Because I think this might be it. It's me. I think it was me. I did not see this anywhere. You thought of it.

I thought of it with my brain. I saw Pringles packet and I was like, sweet, salty, chocolate, Pringles. He made it for a treat for me, didn't you? Yes, I did. Because I'm a big, salty sweet person. You know what's the worst part? It didn't even go viral. No one cared that you did it.

Also, here's your proof that it was a year and a half ago, because I got long hair. So did Katie do it first? Yes. Yum. That's delicious. Where are they from? Where are they from? I think they're from New Zealand.

Is that New Zealand? Not sure. The way they pronounce varl? Voral? Varl. I love Tony Collette. Is Tony Colette New Zealand? I don't know.

Do you want to crack it? Who are your favorite New Zealand celebrities? I don't know. Is Tycoe Wittiti? Yeah? New Zealander? I think he's good. Nice.

I think it's because he looks like my husband. Discus Tower, Becky Famarriwa. Can you open this for us? Who's that guy? He was in the bluff with Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Carl Urban. He is, he has been, he's Maori, and he's played something like 12 different races of people in his career. Love that. Because he kind of just looks to some people ambiguous.

And I can't remember his name. name. Tamora? Timura. Timura Morrison is his name? Yeah. No, no, no, Josh. He's great. Have you ever...

Have you ever... Big Tamara Morrison guy. He was in a... I think you need to just nick the top and then kind of peel it away. Like, Nick... Uh-huh, uh-huh. Uh-huh. That's good.

Stop. And stop and then peel it. No, no, Joshy. Show the camera. Show the camera. Which camera? One of them. There's three.

It's a large dupe or chocolate. A large dube? Large tube. Oh, tube. It's a dube. It's a family show. This is crazy. How much chocolate did you?

I initially bought four bars of dairy milk cadmiri chocolate and it only came up halfway. Deary milk, kiddbury chocolate. It only came up halfway. And then I bought four more from Walgreens. I'm from the Shetland Islands. This is how they talk there. Okay, I'll cut it. Don't worry, Josh.

I'll do it. Oh my God. What a mess. Okay, potato chips and chocolate, wonderful combo. Stun. Stun. Look at that. What is the texture of the potato chips going to be?

Well, I think they're going to be crisp and delish. This is crazy. Is this going to be good? Of course it's going to be good. It's milk, chocolate, and pringles. I mean, the pringles have created like an interesting shale rock formation. I was going to say a tectonic plate. Yeah.

Cheers. Would be better with a kettle chip. Well, it's kind of fake. Here's my problem. What's your problem? I think in the original video from November 2024, she kind of mixed it up a little bit. Yes, it was an individual layering of the Pringles.

But if you look at the panoply of videos out there, people are not doing that. They're not doing that, but I think that's a much more successful way to do it. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Good. I love a chocolate-covered pretzel is wonderful. Mm-hmm.

What is the best crispy? salty to chocolate cover. I don't think it's potato probably. Bacon. I had his moment in the sun. I know, I did. I think chocolate covered potato chips, but like an actual kettle chip is the best way to do it. What about a frito? What about a corn?

Ooh, I actually, the chocolate store I used to work at, we used to do a dark chocolate a dark chocolate tortilla chip with some ancho chili powder on top. And that was very popular. You were just doing chocolate covered tortilla chips? I worked at a very innovative place. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I almost killed you. I mean, I can't stop eating it. It's the milk chocolate.

I will say this. It tastes very processed. I'm putting like lukewarm chocolate in this container is very like BPA to me. You know what I mean? Very Phaas. Very much Phafoss. It's giving Pha. It's giving BPA.

I don't concern myself because wolves don't concern themselves of the opinion of sheep. So I don't concern myself with Paphos and BPAs. Yeah, if you don't read about it, it doesn't exist. Wait, no, no, actually, yeah. If a tree falls in the forest and no one's around to TikTok it, did it really fall? I was talking to somebody in the gym the other day, and they were just like, well, what are you tracking? What biometrics are you tracking? And I'm like, none.

And he's like, but bro, you got to be tracking your stress levels and your hormone, your breath, and your via. And I was like, I'm so much fitter and stronger than you. And I didn't say that to him, but I wanted to. I wanted to We're in the gym You're worried about tracking I'm here Throwing iron above my head

Dogs yeah Right that's You know what I mean So no for real If you don't know about it Can't hurt you I think we should go back To smoking sick

Dude you know what this reminds me Have you ever had swoops as a kid Yes swoops Oh my God We should start out Swobs bring them back Bring Swoops back Wait holy shnikes

Remember those? Yeah This is This is the perverted version This is a perverted, bastardized version of swoops. Is Pringle? Is Pringle gonna come out with a chocolate-covered Pringle? Yeah, but three years too late where everybody forgets about it.

It's like when Hershey's just came out with Dubai chocolate. Right now? I mean, they're probably in production for a long time. Well, exactly, but that's like the problem, right? That's the thing about TikTok. It happens now. By the time this video comes out probably, these won't be relevant anymore. No, no.

That was six weeks ago. Cornflakes. Cornflakes is the best. Flakes and Chocolate. That was my pregnancy craving. That would be perfect. We make a lot of like kind of cornflake bark where we'll... You and Julia? Yeah, yeah.

That's so sweet. We'll like put chocolate down. Sometimes my favorite is to... You guys do so many cute things together. We're cute. So Josh, what's the verdict? I'm going to give this... I'm going to get this a six.

You're not giving it two, man. I'm going to give it a six? This is like... The flavor combination of bringles and chocolate is... It's pretty nice. It's okay. I think this is almost the worst way to combine them. If you just put Pringles out on a sheet, on a sheet, just don't even have to like really lay them out, just shove them out on a sheet pan.

Then just drizzle chocolate over the top. It's going to be so much better than this. Just like weird mishmash brick. There's a weird like subculture of TikTok where people like pouring things in containers that they exist in. and like calling that a hack. It's like this is not a hack. Well, that's why I think Dominican bag spaghetti. Can we get back to talking about Dominican spaghetti in a bag? Real soon, because we got trend number three coming right up. All right.

Amazon presents Jeff versus Taco Truck Salsa, whether it's Verde, Roja, or the orange one. For Jeff, trying any salsa is like playing Russian roulette. with a flame thrower. Luckily, Jeff saved with Amazon and stocked up on antacids, ginger tea, and milk. Habaniero? More like habanier, yes. Save the everyday with Amazon.

Hi, my name is Lloyd Lockridge, and I'm the host of a new podcast from Odyssey called Family Lore. In this podcast, I'm going to have people on to tell unusual and sometimes far-fetched stories about their families. I've heard my whole life that she invented the margarita. And then we're going to investigate those stories and find out how much of it is true. He gets a patent one month before the Wright brothers. Oh my God. Please follow and listen to Family Lore, an Odyssey podcast, available now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your shows. Okay, this is the onion snack plate.

So this is a very interesting trend because when I asked KG about her, she was like, do you mean onion boil? I'm like, no KG, I mean onion snack plate. And this is one of the instances where, you know, your 4U pages are very much tailored to your tastes. And I feel like this is very much curated to me and girls like me. Nicole, what's an onion boil? An onion boil? An onion boil is literally like a crawfish boil, but instead of using crawfish, you use an onion. It's the same flavor profile.

You take an onion and you put like sauce and like Cajun seasoning and butter and then you put it in, foil and then you let it bake for like 45 minutes an hour so the onion gets nice and soft. You skin the onion and trim it so it's ready to... And then you pop it out and then you eat it. Did you, would you have preferred that instead of this? I don't know. I don't know. What's going on?

Let's watch the video. Okay. I'm about to f*** an onion. Do you want to buy it? What? It's not time. What did she say? I chopped the pieces of onion that I want.

I'm going to use some lemon on top. What does this look like? This is like a new kind of person. Basalmic vinegar. This is a new kind of person the world is invented. I don't know what it is. Add some parmesan. That's crazy.

The final product. Are you gonna eat it first or me? What? That was good. I'm excited for this one. With a matcha? Crazy. Those noises make me feel a little uncomfortable though

Is my TikTok just really sexual? Looks like a little boat This just blew my mind It's just savory girls, dude Logan. That's enough What? Is that the type of girl that this is created It's called a savory girl? Yes

Can you click on TakeVans on TakeVan? What is she doing? What kind of person is she? She's a content creator. She creates a content creator. She creates a content creator. Man, everyone's a content creator. Click on her.

Can I watch some of her other videos? I just want to see what her, like, vibe is. Baddest bitch, you know, phone always about to die. Okay? So, yeah, so, like, this is actually painting a picture. So she's a bad bitch whose phone is about to die. Yeah, yeah. Her responsibilities are not committed to, like, you know,

picking up the phone, having her phone being fully charged whenever she goes out. So she's a little bit unreliable. But I think it's like that, it's almost like admitting to a type of fault in the same way that she's admitting to. a type of grossness in the onion sector, right? Oh, yeah, oh, yeah. This is like, it's gross girl. It's like the gross, the hot gross girl is a new type of girl.

This is also, instead of a sweet tooth, stank tooth, this is a stank tooth. Stank tooth, gross girl, bad bitch. Like, that's kind of a... Savory girl. Savory girl. Very important for savior girls to be represented here. Sure, sure, sure. Like eating, like salt and vinegar chips.

What defines a savory girl? Someone who prefers savory flavors rather than sweet. So, like, Julia, for instance, my wife, she, her aesthetic. like maybe eight years ago is what I think we would have called like a visco girl. Oh, TBT. She's a little visco girly, right? Yeah, remember those? She kind of, you know, she has the water bottle, scrunchy's.

Does she go, sc, sc, s'x, no, I know that was the thing. I just don't know what that is. That was a weird part of it. And she has no idea what a visco girl would be. She doesn't know what visco is. And I love that about her. She's so offline. It's wonderful.

She, like, paints and does activities. It's great. So good. Sees her friends. So good. Wonderful. But anyways, you know, that's her kind of like aesthetic. and she has like a sweet tooth.

And that's very like, it fits that sort of a aesthetic. You know, she loves a cupcake and fruit and cream and all that. But now this kind of like goth adjacent, very severe alt. Yeah, yeah.

They're out here eating straight onions. I know the onions is only the same as the video, but she has multiple videos of her eating onions and this is one way that looked really delectable to me. Sure. But I would never eat onions like this. Like this hurts me. This is a lot.

This might hurt me. I once tried to break the world record for, fastest time to eat an 8 ounce onion. Oh. Yeah. Did you win? New Year's 2009. No, Chad got closer than I did.

Oh, this wasn't for video. This was just for... This is when you were out? Yeah, so I guess a lot of times, if I can, like, explain something. So a lot of times I'll be on camera and doing something and people be like, oh, job, performative. I play. All the things I was just normally doing in life, we kind of just now put on camera.

So I tried to do that. Like, that's why I pitch. the show where I beat the baby food world record because I was like I've made a run at a couple of these. I think I can do it. Chad was so far ahead of the pace. Wow. To finish it and then but then well he didn't get it. He got if he was also a track runner and so what does that have to do with eating onions? Because I'm telling you he was so far ahead of the pace but then he got what he called booty lock and track where someone's like run in and they look like really fast but in the last 100 meters their booty locks up and their legs just like won't

kind of carry them and they fall. We kind of get a booty lock in the onion. It gets a lot. To gum. Booty lock in the onion? Yeah, it gets a lot. Can you eat the onion? Yeah. How did the onion cups make you feel?

That's a lot. How did the onion cups make you feel? Oh, the onion cups? Oh, I like that. Yeah, because there's more to it? I like onions. I like onions a lot. I don't, red onions are very spicy. Oh, so spicy.

It's how spicy. That's what you sound like to me right now. Nuna, motherfucker. Because I mean. Nut up. God damn slice of onion. Nut up. I'm trying.

Yeah, I knew you were going to take that one because that's the fittest one. Shit. No, I'm kidding. Josh, Josh, Josh. I'm kidding. Eat whatever you want. The capers are really turning me off here.

The capers are not doing it for me. I'm not a caper girl. I'm a savory girl, but I'm not a keeper girl. I'm so upsetting. I'm about to f***. Why did you say that? I don't know. It's all about engagement, Josh.

It's the game of engagement. This hurt. I don't like this one bit. That's not bad. That's not bad. I don't like that one bit. I love just like... That's not bad.

I'm an onion guy. I love onions. Too much caper. To eat this, it's not the capers. It's the onions. It's a red onion's a problem. I don't like the capers. If this was...

If this is a sweet onion... Like a walla-wola? Like a walla. Too much onion. Like a vedaalia, like a walla-wala. If they shaved it on a mandolin? But then you're just eating... a plate of onions? Some people

eat plates of onions. I'm not one of these people. I can't eat like this. Like Persian food. You get a nice little you get the onion, you get the radish, you get some herbs. You know, having a fun time. That's the appropriate dose to eat onion. This is simply too much onion. I agree. This is simply too much onion. But if it was altered to your own preferences,

I think it's a good combination of flavors. The lemon juice, the balsamic, the cheese. There's something here with the flavor profile, just too much onion. I'm a huge... I mean, I'm made a whole video about this. I threw a whole little party for the Super Bowl. I'm a big cruditate guy. I love fresh vegetables, and I love taking vegetables and dipping them in dips. You know what I mean? And it's wonderful and healthy. It's the way to do it, yeah. It's the way to do it. And so onion petals, awesome, but you can't, like red onion, this is a particular

stank red onion, too. This isn't one of the, and you can tell almost by the layering, I think, that this was going to be a stank onion. I don't know if that's, I don't know if that's true, but seeing the tight, concentric layering as opposed to, like, big, juicy cell walls. Really? That was my... Maybe it's confirmation bias. But, like, you take that and you, like, soak it in ice water. Sure.

You know what I mean? And then you get a nice and crisp, dipping it. Dipping it in humos. Fair. That's great. This too much. None of dip. Make a ban ya coda.

Next time you got a... Oh, I love banya cauda. I love baga and cauda. You know what I mean? I make banya cauda, um, potatoes. Yeah? They're a hit every time. Speaking of hummus, I was getting my car out of, I was at the fancy shopping center.

And I had to valet my car to... At the mall? That's Sportsman's Lodge to go to the gym. What are you talking about? Where? They have dual parking. Where? Sportsman's Lodge.

Studio City, it's where it is. The air one. It's the air one. It's the air one. I'll say it. The gym, knew the air one. And I was there. And they have dual parking.

And so when it's crowded, you have to give them your keys. whatever. So I went to go pick up my keys at the car and they were eating Habiza hummus. Yum. And I never had it before and I said is that hummus good?

And they said, dude, you got to try this. Two like young cats that were working at the ballet. You know who is a, who's a creator? Not the creator,

but like a, what's it called when you give money to someone? I think like an investor. Investor forgot that word. Eli Ayreuth, Food Beast. From Food Beast. Yes.

I see him post about all the time. It was good. Dude, it was like their... They let you taste it? Just the ballet dudes were like, Yo, we've tried every flavor of Havisa. You have to try this. And they just had chips and they just gave me a chip.

And I dipped it. And I think it was some sort of like smoked toasted chili hummus. It's just so by far the best hummus in the market right now. Oh my gosh, I can't wait to try it. And yeah. This is not sponsored, by the way. No, it's just such a good hummus, dude. I can't wait to try it.

Well, hear me out, though. What if they just sent us like a crate? Send me a crate. I think we deserve after this. I think we deserve a crate. We'll even, I'll even buy it. I'll Venmo you. I just don't want to.

I want a crate of Habeza hummus. Okay, I do too, I guess. I want whatever he wants. I'm going to give this a three. I can't in good conscience to give it anything higher than a one. The thought of taking another bite of this gives me anxiety. And I'm really good at eating things. I make onion and like mayonnaise sandwiches.

Dude, I'm a gross girl too, okay? You are. I'm a gross girl too. You've seen how I am. This is too much. Okay. Well, guess what? We got one more.

and I think you're really going to like this one. Oh, I hope. All right, Josh. This one's very important to our interests. It's called an egg flight. Egg flight. Roll the tape. I've heard of this one.

Are you excited to try it? Yes. Let's roll the tape. I have been influenced. Let's make an egg flight. Whoa. Step number one, salt and pepper each egg. First egg is going to be a bloody merry egg.

So it dipped in Old Bay and peppery. The way she says, egg. Next up, add some mayo on top. Green onion, carrot, parrot. Best bacon on top. Number two is going to have some mayo. Lots of mayonnaise. Wipped feta on time.

Whoa. I love mayonnaise. Ooh. Ew. More mayo. Mustard. Red onions on top. What?

Avocado. Everything bagels season. Why? What's the theme of that one? Breakfast. There's mustard on it. Lunch. Bacon.

Tomato. Deviled egg. Egg. Oh. Balsamic glaze on top. That doesn't look like glaze. One mayo, slice of cheese. What the...

That's the laughing cow cheese. Chili oil crisp. Okay, now we're talking. And here's the honey. Now we're talking. I don't think I need the honey. Last one. Mayo.

Mustard. Presuto. Bread and butter pickle. Paprika. Cute. This is our egg flights. All right. You get the idea.

Yeah, they're all a little gross, huh? That's what... Well, I think... This is all a little gross. So what you're learning about my TikTok for... Oh. Yeah, this isn't... I'm a little gross.

Okay, yeah, so this is all from your... Little gross and I'm a little horrid. And I love to laugh. Is that a crime? Is that crime? Lock me up. Can that gross horny girl not love to laugh anymore? Lock me the fuck up.

So I thought it would be nice for us to try some fun little ideas. So I think in the spirit of the egg flight, I think it's kind of like whatever you got going on in your fridge is what you're going to eat. I have seen a lot of people Baby corn Oh yeah Well Why don't we have baby corn Stop hold on

Half of it is all about narrating it And also like shortening it So like For example Our first one we're going to try Is QP Mayo Chili Crisp And green onions

So you can shorten this to be like Chili Crisp An egg Is chegg You see what I'm saying What? It's like you shorten it Like it's called a cheg because it's a chili crisp egg

It's cute But what if it was a cheese egg? Would it also be a chegg? Yes Okay so that's tough Or like you could do like a cute egg And we call it quag All of the letters that have an H after it

Should be separate letters Talk about it with someone who can change it man You know? So like ch the shah those should be different letters. T.H. should be its own letter. Wow, that's really interesting.

Is there, like, evidence of that in other languages? Yes. Like, which ones? I don't know. Okay. Can we eat eggs? Yeah. You have to say it, though.

You have to say it. Okay. This one is called egg lote. I was going to say that. You have to go in order. I'm so mad at you right now. We're supposed to go an order. All I know is the peanut butter and jelly ones for dessert.

Cheers. Okay, now look at the camera. Look at your camera. Say chag. Chegg. Chegg. Okay. How do you think, man?

Yeah, that's good. I could eat. How many eggs do you think you could eat in one setting? Really, really put yourself in that situation. 14. You're going to eat 14? Mm-hmm. Until you couldn't eat another egg or until you'd walk away from the table.

You know, isn't there a movie that that happens in? Cool hand Luke. Great movie. Yeah. Only seen nothing, though. I think I'd vomit at 14. I think I can eat 100. I think you can too.

I think I can't too. I think I used 100 eggs. That's half an egg that I just ate, and I could do 200 more of those for sure. Okay. Next up. Do you think we should try? Yeah, that would be a good challenge for you to try. I don't want to try.

I could be like your, what's it called? Remember how you made me do that one time with gravy? What bread and chili crisps was that? Fly by Jing. Okay. Okay, next up, we have baby corn and tahine, also known as the Chaglote Just elote

Elo teg Eglotes I don't know of this I'm so sorry Eglotee Okay now Is there mayonnaise Is there mayonnaise?

There's no mayonnaise I thought it was too much mayonnaise Okay ready? Yeah No no no Oh Egglote I can't eat

Mmm That vinegar That vinegar Pop from the baby corn Is really nice Actually, really like that. I'm having fun time eating eggs. I can't cut you that?

I can't eat 100 of them. A hundred halves or a hundred holes? 100 holes. Well, we got to talk about this. Right there. That is two deviled eggs, but one egg deviled. I'm sorry, you're going to have to walk me through this. If you eat, if somebody says, I ate six deviled eggs at a party, how many...

Any eggs. That's three whole eggs, right? I think that's correct. Okay. Because I don't think people would say, and half a deviled egg, that makes it sound like they took half a bite. Like, a deviled egg is half an egg. I agree.

So this right here would be two deviled eggs, but that's one egg that has been deviled. Okay, yes, I am on your team, Josh. I'm on your team. I don't like baby corn. Okay. This is... Okay. Pegnant butter and jiggly.

No, this is... Pegnant butter and jiggly. No, no, don't eat yet. It's peanut butter and jag. Betty and peg. Okay. All right. Ready.

Three, two. Pecanum butter and jag. Pee. Series. One, two, three. Peabby and jag. Ew, it's dripping. Why'd you do this?

I've seen people do it on the internet. That's not bad. Some people do that? Yeah, it's really good. On the internet? Yeah, you could have it. It's actually pretty good. When you lunch?

I think in 15 minutes. Oh, hell, yeah. That was really good. I'm a fan. I don't know. It might be the worst thing I've ever had peanut butter and jelly on. The after taste is bad, but the pre-taste, the during taste is really good. The peanut butter with a fully cooked egg yolk is a tough texture to get that.

Would you rather it be soft-boiled? Yeah. Ew, that would be nasty. Hear me out. If you put soft-willed egg with cream cheese and jelly on it, that's fun. What would you rate that? That whole experience for me was honestly, like an eight. I love that.

Egg flights? Egg flights are an eight. I'm like a 15 out of ten. Well, right. The very thing you made was like a seven. Yeah. Have you really put your whole chef fussy into an egg flight, though? I just put a little bit of it.

Just to scosh. Just to skosh. But if you're like really go full ham? Full pastrami. Full pastrami. Uh-huh. Oh, pastrami on an egg would be nice. Is that a bit of schwarzing?

Yeah. Oh my God. Is that a reference from last meal? to go full pastrami? No. Or do you try and make that happen in another... Five levels of pasta. Is that what it was?

Yes. Anyways, if you really go full pastrami on an egg flight, that's like one of the best things you can eat. Yeah, it's a good breakfast or a good lunch. And what a fun time. It's customizable. It's single biteable. I want to do that, like just for myself.

Yeah, it's a fun way to eat. Fun way to eat. Love it. Well, at the end of the day, TikTok, who... It's not going anywhere. So you might as well just give in. What government is spying on? Who knows?

It's maybe owned by Walmart now or something. Does that happen? Well, and it's here. And is it making our lives worse? Definitely not. All right. I'll see you later. Life's what you make it.

And if you want to make it on TikTok, figure it out, man. You got to eat eggs horny and gross like. This episode is brought to you by Tell Us Online Security. Oh, tax season is the worst. You mean hack season? Sorry, what? Yeah, cybercriminals love tax forms, but I've got Telas online security.

Welcome back to our podcast, where now we've heard what everybody said about the TikTok, and we're going to do a second we call opinion. are like casseroles. Hi, I have a interesting question

that I've been thinking about for a while. And my question is, what is a patty melt? Because I've asked numerous people over my life, and everybody has given me a slightly different answer. When I see it on some menus, it's just a grilled cheese with a burger in it. My mom used to work at Bob's Big Boy when I was little in the early 90s.

Hell yeah, that's very cool. She would bring home patty melts that had rye bread and caramelized onions and mushrooms. Okay. Which is cheese. Yeah. And I've seen some people say they'd be very weirded out if their patty melt wasn't on rye, and others say they would be confused if it was, or if it did have mushrooms or if it didn't. Everybody seems to have a different idea.

Is there a conclusive definition of a patty melt? Wow, this is a great question. It actually, I don't have the answer. I do have a Wikipedia article. Well, who invented the patty melt? It was invented in... Damn. Is it in San Francisco?

I think it was a Bay or anything, right? Tiny nailers in 1950s. Yeah, yeah. What was the OG patty melt? Because to me, I would agree that a patty melt, I mean, doesn't like have to have to be on rye bread, but a traditional patty melt... It's nice if it's on rye bread.

I would say a traditional patty melt is on rye bread with... Yeah, onions and is it Swiss? Normally Swiss. Mushrooms, not always. No, yeah. But the mushrooms are... To me, it wouldn't be out of place. If I got served,

rye bread, mushrooms, onions, Swiss cheese, hamburger patty, I'd be like, one, I'd be really happy. Two, I'd be like, this is a pretty standard patty melt except the mushrooms

are just a fun little chef's touch. I think that is the original and the progenitor of patty melts we know today. So I think it's fair for that to be the definition, but we're 50, 60, 70, 70, years past that.

Yeah, yeah. And it's okay if your patty melt has American cheese in it. Because I've been seeing that more and more. Yeah, me too. I think Swiss is just like really falling out of favor on burgers. And I think I see why.

Like a good mushroom Swiss burger with bacon. Reminds me of the bacon. Yeah, yeah. Bacon Mushrooms Swiss. That's such a Jack in the Box burger. Yes, so jack in the box. But when I think about like a grilled

sourdough, like a sourdough. That's also Jack in the Box. No, but is it BK? It was called the Frisco Burger. Yes. The Frisco Burger. Was that Burger King? I think so.

Or Carles Jr.? Carl's Jr.? It was Carl's Jr. But Burger King had their own sourdough sort of melt, but they, yeah, it's like they're kind of play on a patty melt. Yeah. But yeah, interesting. I'm certainly not a hard liner, but I do agree with you,

and I do see how it has gotten sort of like bastardized over time. Like now I think people would argue that it is probably just bare minimum definition is like it's on sliced same. sandwich bread that has been toasted with cheese. With cheese in a burger. Yes, I think that is the bare minimum definition of a patty melt. I've also never liked a patty melt. I love patty melts because I love melty cheese.

I love melting cheese. Yeah, no, it kind of, the patty melt sits in a weird intersection where I feel like I'm getting neither burger nor delicious grilled cheese sandwich. And that's okay. You know, that's fine. I've had some really good ones. They had a really good one of the place called the Bellwether. Place called Cassell's. You ever go to Cassell's diner?

I've been to Kassel's diner. They had their moment in the sun. They had their moment in the sun. So there I passed by it the other day. In Katon? Yeah. Cool. I went to the Normandy Club.

You went out? Like you went out? I have friends. Good. Do you have fun? Yeah. You deserve to have fun. You work so hard.

It was an early night. Yeah? I had one trick with the Normandy Club. Left at like nine. Okay. Got back. That's reasonable. Bed by 11.

Sounds good to me. Nice. You know, a little three drink night. I don't know how to go out anymore. What do you mean? Like, I don't know how to go out with a clear conscious. Oh, yeah? Do you feel like you're a failure of a mother?

I wouldn't say it's that intense. Oh, shit, I'm so sorry. I thought that's what you were going to say. I would just say, like, I just don't want to be in a room without her, you know? Yeah, well, bring her to the bar. I won't. But I will bring her more around. I bring her everywhere.

I do take her out a lot. She goes out a lot. You walk her? I go on walks all the time with her. Oh, you go to the park? She has a big stroller. Oh, you just put her on a skateboard and kind of drag her around. I wouldn't.

Oh, not yet. I will. She has time. She has plenty of time. Next. Now, one more. Hi. My name's Chaldy, and I have maybe a strange question, but I feel like you're the best people to under or like to know the answer to this.

Yay. I grew up in an area where we don't eat brunch. It's just not, like, food that we're. eat. Okay. And I'm serious, I don't really like much, but I'm serious if I were to try ranch, how would I try it? How would you suggest is the best way to eat ranch?

I don't really like it with pizza and I don't like ranch on salad. Also, I am celiac, so I can't eat anything with gluten as well. I'm sorry if this is a maybe bigger ask, but I'm just curious. How would you suggest if, as a person who likes lunch, how would you suggest for me, that person who does not eat lunch? Or it doesn't know how to, to eat in the future. Anyway, thank you. I love you guys. You're both perfect.

I love you. I love you too. They didn't mention where they were from. Nope. Where were you getting? Were you getting like a central European? No, I couldn't put my finger on it. It could have been tough.

No, no, look, they were Dutch. Belgium, I'm saying Belgian. But either way, my answer stands the same. You want to say it on three? Yeah. One, two, three.

French fries. Oh. They said they didn't like it on salad. Okay, a carrot is not a salad. Carrot is definitely a salad. Carrot is salad. Carrot is a component of salad. Fair point.

But, okay, so here's the thing about ranch. Ranch means there's a lot of different kinds of ranch, right? Like there's buttermilk. There's a kind of thinner buttermilk ranch that you might put on a salad. Then there's some fickle ranch dips. Yeah, that's for like chicken wings. But like, I mean, what's the minimum definition of ranch, right? Because I don't understand.

Creamy white sauce. Creamer but also it's herbie. Yeah, generally garlicky. Yeah. Probably some sort of MSG onion powder. Like if I'm making ranch at home, I'm taking chives, maybe some dill. And it's going to be like garlic powder, onion powder, black. black pepper

MSG sour cream mayonnaise maybe a splash of buttermilk if I have it but even then I don't think you even totally but it's like you're basically like a fry sauce like you would

if you're Central European and you go to like a Fritkot Yeah and you get mayonnaise And they just say like 19 different kinds of mayonnaise This ranch is just a kind of mayonnaise That happens to have a little bit of sour cream in it And what Europeans don't love sour cream I don't know a single European

Maybe in Spain I think ranch just has Yeah, I guess. Ranch just has such an American kind of lilt to it. You know, but in a way that seems shocking to European the way we use Ranch. I think carrots six are the best way because, first of all, it's such high water content that it kind of washes your mouth out if you don't like the flavor. Yeah. Which is why I think that it causes you to dip in more frequently.

Yeah, fried chicken, I'd say. A chicken wing might be good. A chicken wing. A naked fried chicken wing. Or chicken tender. Oh, chicken tender. Buffalo. Buffalo wing is also a very...

A buffalo wing might be the best. But that's a very American thing as well. Well, honey. Think about the ingredients and a buffalo wing. That's good. It's delicious. It's one of my favorite things. Especially buffalo and vinegar.

Yeah, cayenne and Native American pepper. I mean, not native, but... Well, yeah, it is. Like a cayenne pepper, vinegar and butter. Yum. That's crazy. Worcesters sauce. Worcesters sauce.

I have no problem. Covered in ranch. That's like an American. thing. It's like eating... It's like eating peanut butter and root beer, dude. You know? That's what America's about. Hell yeah.

Peanut butter, root beer, and freedom. I think literally the best application of ranch is you have a giant plate of fries and chicken tenders. And there's just a bucket of ranch. They're gluten-free, too, so you got to consider that. Yeah, you can make gluten-free chicken tender. Yeah, you can't suck. Yeah, it's not readily available. We literally just use rice panco, and it's like pretty upsetting.

Yeah, let's not do that. It's kind of just rice crispy. Yeah, let's not do that. How about we do this? Naked fried chicken is good. How about we do this? We do a plate. You do French fries.

You do the little shoe string McDonald-style fries. You do some naked fried chicken wings. And then you have some carrot sticks for good measure. And you just dip them all, and that's it. Yeah, nice little. Get a vegetable in there. Get a vegetable in there. Well, thank you so much.

Donka-Shane in your language, maybe. Do you know the Dutch don't have a word for thank you? That's telling. I don't know. I think I might have lied. Wait, actually, no. No, they don't have a word for sorry or something. That's telling.

So what do they do when they sing Justin Bieber's song? Is it too light now to say? Yeah, I think they just probably sing Justin Bieber in English. Or Canadian, whatever you're speaking.
