Hey buddy, did you miss the big news?
The Doughboys are doing a comic book.
That's right, Doughboys the comic book, Mitch and Weigert's Chew America, Crisis on Infinite
Girths is coming soon and you can pre-order it right now at brkids.com.
Each Doughboyz comic comes with a toy pack.
That's a random Mitch or random Weigert.
You don't get to choose,
but you do get to choose what you want to do with it.
Wink.
These comics are legitimately the most excited
we've been about something at doughboys in a while.
The writer Alex Fehrer and the artist Fred Seastressing have done an incredible job.
I mean, just look at this thing. You can see some of these pages here.
And hey, I know somebody who's already enjoying it.
It's a really, really cool thing that exists that you can own.
And we'd love it if you would order yourself a copy.
So go to BRkids.com, check out Doughboy's, the comic book.
We'll see in the funny pages,
the not so funny pages.
I would gladly give all I have written
to have composed something like the Hebrides' Overture.
This was Johannes Brahms, himself one of history's great composers, referencing the work of his
fellow German romanticist, Felix Mendelssohn.
While he passed away at the age of just 38, Mendelssohn left behind a towering musical
library, although some of his early pieces are believed to have been composed by his
sister, Fanny Mendelssohn, under an assumed name.
And while Felix's best-known work is no doubt his 1842 Wedding March, still widely in use today,
his most esteemed among classical music aficionados is the aforementioned Hebrides Overture, also known as Fingal's Hole, or Fingal's Cave in English. Inspired by Mendelssohn's visits to an actual archipelago and an actual hole or cave, Scotland's
inner and outer Hebrides comprise dozens of remote islands and are known for their singular
beauty and history dating to Roman rule.
And it wouldn't be the last time these isolated isles influenced a creative work, for it was
her family's summers spent in the Scottish Hebrides that inspired British author Cressida Cowell
to create her beloved young adult fantasy books about how to educate a Wyvern.
Cowell for her part does not seem to be a huge piece of shit, but you never know with these British fantasy authors.
The terrain of her series fictional Isle of Berk, where mountains coexist with grasslands,
replicates the peaks and plains that made Mendelssohn's compositional feather pen
flurry and is as much a character in the franchise as the Viking named Hiccup or the big fucking
lizard named Toothless.
Incidentally, the historically inaccurate trope of horned Viking helmets is itself attributed
to another 19th century German composer,
Richard Wagner, whose Ring Cycle opera stagings popularized the convention.
The success of Cressida Cowell's books led to the wild success of a trilogy of DreamWorks animated
adaptations in the 2010s. And this year the franchise comes to the real world with a live
action film remake, a large-scale Isle of Birkland at Universal Orlando's new Epic Universe Park, and most
consequential of all, a themed tie-in menu at a burger chain that is literal
fast-food royalty. One wishes Johannes Brahms was alive to witness it. This week
on Doughboys, we return once again to Burger King for the How to Train Your
Dragon menu.
["Doughboyz Theme Song"]
Welcome to Doughboyz, the podcast about chain restaurants. I'm Tiger Weiger along with my co-host,
Manchester by the CPAP, the Spoon Man, Mike Mitchell.
Hey, the CPAP has been doing work for you.
Not CPAC, the CPAP.
Check out Doughboyz at CPAC though.
We're going to have some great guests.
Ben Shapiro's hopping on.
Shapiro, he's actually a nice guy.
He's, and also like he has some really strong opinions on. Shapiro's, he's actually a nice guy.
And also like he has some really strong opinions
on Wendy's, so we'll get into it.
He wants Dave Thomas to be the,
he wants it to be called Dave's.
Wigs, have I not seen you since Massachusetts?
We have not, but I feel like you didn't finish your thought
on the CPAP, the CPAP's been doing work for you.
Oh, CPAP's been doing work for me.
I did have, when the tour ended,
I had a little a relapse of brain fog, which was rough.
That's a little bit of a bummer.
The last like 10, two weeks almost now.
I'm gonna blame tour for that.
I think tour is a part of it, I mean, it's long COVID.
I mean, I've talked about it before.
I just did, I did Gaberson Pally's podcast, Staying Alive,
which is a great podcast.
You should listen to it.
But I've come to the terms that I have long COVID, basically.
And I've been dealing with it for like a year,
which I always thought, which I think
I said to you a year and a half ago,
I thought that that's what it was.
Well, yeah, you were hoping to get long COVID
and that it would metastasize in your hog.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Long hog, hog vid.
Ha ha ha ha.
I wish.
No, there's a thing you've been dealing with.
How is there not a, like, why is it always like,
the disease, like, you know,
I got like a debilitating cognitive disease.
Right.
So why not, why can't there be something
that just makes your hog grow bigger?
Why is it always something bad?
You know what I mean?
If I was like, if like you get sick,
you're like, I got big titties now,
or like my hog is big, wouldn't that be nice?
I got a hog grow fever, I got a big fucking fat,
you know, piece now.
Yeah, why?
It doesn't happen.
It doesn't happen, instead I'm just,
I feel like I'm in a coma, or I have a,
what's the word when you're losing your mind?
Dementia.
Dementia.
Dementia.
So that's come back, so that was kind of depressing.
More chronic illnesses should be perks, I'm with you.
They really should, and also no one even believes
in long COVID, so that's another one.
I don't think that's true.
Looking at you, Italian behind the table there.
The Italian behind the table.
Yeah, I'm a little skeptical still.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Wags, you don't have long COVID, but Chef Kevin
came into the kitchen earlier and said,
I just went to Vegas this weekend with a bunch
of old earwool friends.
And you went, wow.
And then you left the kitchen.
Like, that was the end of his anecdote.
I thought that was the whole anecdote.
That was self-contained.
That he had more to say?
Yeah, he had a lot more to say.
I'll catch up with him later.
Barely even.
Love Chef Kevin.
We love Chef Kevin.
Wags, I hadn't seen you, but we should talk a little bit
before about your final, you had an afternoon in Quincy.
That's right.
Let me shut out this roast real quick.
Hi, here's a mediocre roast Adam,
a blemblem three, two, one on the dough scord,
roast at birdfuck.com.
Yeah, we went out and you and me and Micus and Gabris
had a little outing.
That's right.
We tried some buffalo tendies.
And Wags, you might be a little Mitch-pilled now
because I just wanna to say this.
Yeah.
A lot of people have given me crap over the years
and I'm like, buffalo fingers,
they're a little bit different where I like,
I've had different ones in the Northeast
and people are like, what are you talking about?
You're an idiot.
And I get it.
I get that's the way how people feel about me.
I don't care.
People think I'm an idiot.
I don't give a shit.
Whatever.
I've come to terms with the fact that people think I'm a fucking idiot.
People are always saying Mitch is dumb as fuck.
Yeah.
So what do you want me to do?
I mean, part of it's your fault.
Forrest Gump looks like a scientist next to him.
People are always saying things like this.
Gump does not look like a scientist next to him. People are always saying things like this. Gump does not look like a scientist next to me.
Gump would only, oh, by the way, we're crowning today.
We are crowning.
The Doughboys are crowning.
As you can see in the video feed,
everyone in the studio is wearing
the How to Train Your Dragon Burger King crowns,
which have little horns on them.
It barely fits my head, but why?
You didn't flare your corns.
There we go, now they're flared.
Wait, does it barely fit your head? I have it over my head and the Wags. You didn't extend, you didn't flare your corns. Wait, does this really fits your head?
I have it over my head and the headphones that I'm wearing.
Emma, thanks for pointing that out.
I said it.
You're such a big head, I'm still pretty dumb.
I don't know what the issue is.
My brain didn't fill up that space.
It's mostly skull people say.
They're always saying that.
Wags, I just want to say, you had some,
we went to Fowler House.
And so you had a taste of like what bar pizza was.
I had, I had just a wonderful, we had a wonderful,
leisurely like final day after the tour in Boston
and Quincy, Gabriel and I took the train.
We took the choo choo all the way out.
Not only the train, you took the T to Quincy Center.
The T, well, it is a train, right?
Yeah, but I'm saying the T.
We took the T to Quincy Center,
we passed Wallaston, the stop where we went to a ceremony
where your dad, it was in memory of your dad,
which was really nice.
That's right, yeah, yeah.
And, but like, I was like, I love that this,
I love just a city with a functional metro.
It was great getting around.
Well, I just want to say this.
Yeah.
You got off the train.
That's right.
You came to Fowler House and you tried the Buffalo,
you tried some Buffalo fingers and you said, I get it.
Yeah, I get it.
You and Gaber's both said, I get it.
We were both converts and we're both bone-in guys.
Yeah.
You keep saying tenders,
but I feel like the vernacular in New England
is boneless wings. Wings, I'd vernacular in New England is boneless wings.
Wings, didn't I say boneless wings?
You said fingers a couple of times.
Buffalo fingers.
So I feel like that's where people get confused
when they say boneless wings is different.
Boneless buffalo wings.
Like a tender.
Boneless buffalo wings.
And you had them and you agreed.
I call them tendies, and I thought those tendies
were hidden. Yeah, I don't like that.
We had some bone-in wings from Fowler House, too,
and those were nice.
And we had some bar pieces.
You said, well, you get mad at me.
I like the bone-in wings more than the boneless buffalo wings.
I said, I don't care.
But you got what I was saying, that they
are slightly different.
Yes.
So that he gets it.
I liked them.
You fucking assholes.
No, Mitch was right.
They were good.
Mitch, you have a good taste in food.
Yeah.
I was fucking right, you fucking dipshit.
Are people mad at you about this?
I don't know.
I don't care either.
I don't care.
I don't care anymore.
We had a lovely time.
That was a lot of fun.
We hung out with, we hung out with Micus, then Amelia showed up.
You know, they call me spill monger, but I think that crown now belongs to Amelia, who
had the biggest spill I think I've ever witnessed in a restaurant.
It was a gigantic spill.
Spilled an entire cup of water immediately
and a bartender had to come over with a mop.
At least it was water.
I think every person in the bar turned their head
and like multiple employees came over to mop up the mess.
I couldn't, it was a scenario where I couldn't,
I didn't even help you, I just looked down in shame.
I felt bad.
There was nothing to do.
It's like one of those.
At least there was water.
We took rags and napkins and we all got to work.
It's one of those moments where we did all get to work.
It was one of those moments where you're like,
if I saw like a building on fire, what would I do?
Or if there was like an active shooter, what would I do?
Would I help?
Would I join in with the active shooter?
Yeah.
And in this-
It might be me.
It might be Wags, and maybe I help you.
And in this scenario, I found out that for,
when someone has a very embarrassing spill,
I was not helpful at all.
I put my head down and I didn't help you
and I was just embarrassed.
I think you're numb to it
because you've been friends with me for so long.
You've witnessed so many spills.
I've witnessed a lot of spills, but that was a very,
it was a, I saw it happening to you.
You had two drinks, you used to, first of all,
it was my water I believe that you took was,
which was so-
No, it was mine I think.
Yeah, so okay, so this is, this is,
it was karma, which was what happened.
But anyways, it was a huge spill.
They had to put down a wet floor sign.
Yeah.
It was just a huge disaster.
And why, there's another thing that happened on tour
that we didn't touch on.
But you and I were in the train station,
and you bought Gaber's a nice little gift, a book.
Oh, that's right.
And then you bought me a book as well, Eden Gad We Trust.
That's what you bought me.
He bought me the Josh Gad autobiography, I guess.
I bought some train reading for everybody. I bought the book I'd wanted to read,
The Anxious Generation for Myself.
I bought the 4,000 Weeks, Meditation for Mortals,
for Gabris.
I might be conflating two different titles,
it's the same author.
I bought one of those books for Gabris.
And then, yeah, I was like,
I gotta get something for Mitch.
So yeah, maybe In Gad We Trust is how you
beat the one book challenge this year.
Engad We Trust I now have in my property.
Anyways, that was a lot of bullshit.
We also didn't talk, I just wrote to touch on it real quick.
I won't go into details.
Micus is great.
We had a great time with Micus.
Micus told us like a half dozen insane stories.
One of them was like the craziest thing I'd ever heard
like happened to an individual.
And then he might have been at a party on mushrooms
and thought everyone was trying to fuck him.
Is that the one you're talking about?
Well, I wasn't going to say the details.
OK, yeah.
I don't want to get him in trouble.
There might have been a certain member of the Cleveland Cavaliers ownership group that was trying to fuck Micah, which I don't think was happening.
Anyway, he's still in this entain story and I was like, oh, this is something that happened in college or wherever.
He's like, yeah, that happened like two weeks ago.
It was a fun day. A lot of fun.
There were a lot of drinks and we watched some NBA action
likes.
That's right.
But what was I going to say?
There was one.
Oh, I went to Boston Calling, which
is like a big music festival at Harvard.
And Shieldsy works at Harvard.
Right.
Drives a Zamboni machine.
He's in charge of a lot of stuff there,
like, uh, like, uh, what's it called?
It's like, uh, like field management stuff,
I guess is what I'm trying to say.
But he's, so we went there.
More like Fieldsy.
That's a very good point.
Uh, we went there and he, we, we hung out
with Shieldsy there, saw Dave Matthews band.
Cool.
I saw the Spin Doctors.
Wow.
And so this is just something that I,
so the Spin Doctors are playing,
you know the big hit from-
Two Princes.
Two Princes.
So Two Princes, the big hit from the Spin Doctors.
Just go ahead now.
Just go, if you want to call,
I'm talking to our guest now
because we have also wasted 10 minutes of her time.
But if you want to call me baby, just go ahead now.
Do you remember this song at all from?
Is that what you were trying to see over here, the timer?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you can know how much of our guest time you wasted.
It is close to eight or nine minutes.
10 minutes, we're at 10 minutes.
11 minutes of your wasted your time.
No.
But, you know, just two princes.
It was an early 90s song.
I remember I was at Camp Fatima, not a fat camp.
And that song was popular when I was like 11 or 12 years old.
So I'm watching them.
They're playing.
The drummer is playing.
They show him on the screen.
And they show his set list.
And you see the set list is behind the drummer.
And the last song on there, what do you think it is?
Two princes, I'd imagine they close with.
Yeah, but those, the spin doctors put two pussies.
This is true.
They swapped out princes for pussies
as like an inside joke.
I guess it's an inside joke, but I don't understand it.
Maybe because they're tired of playing it.
They're like, they've played it so much,
they're like, we gotta like have some fun with this.
We gotta play two pussies for these fucking idiots.
For these fucking pussies?
I mean, I think that that's what,
that seems like what it is.
In contempt for the audience.
Yes, it says two pussies.
It said two pussies on the,
I have a picture of it too,
just to make sure that this isn't a bad bit
that I'm doing, I guess.
But yeah, it said, it said said, I'm spitting everywhere.
It said two pussies.
That's wild.
Well, Mitch, we got our own business to get to.
I know you gotta play your pussy.
I mean your drop.
I'm gonna hit him with the drop.
Incoming transmission.

Was it a dijourn oz varietal, what was it?
Tombstone varietal, the nationwide distribution.
Hi, dough fam.
Griffin being on the podcast
for the Chuck E. Cheese 2 episode reminded me
of his previous call for getting the tombstone garlic crust
pizza back into grocery stores,
resulting in the following drop.
Shout out to Chicago Leah for the feedback
and the dough scored and thanks for,
thanks y'all for all the laughs.
Cheers, Thomas.
Wow.
Let ten tickles in the Doe's Chord.
Thanks Thomas, drops at birdfuck.com.
Can I quickly just say on top of that?
Yeah.
I showed you guys visual proof of the two pussies thing.
Yes, yeah.
And you both were like, yeah, yeah, it says that.
And I was like, oh yeah, it's just not a good story.
What was a good story?
I like to hear it.
It's kind of interesting.
I'm not saying it's a great story to tell on the podcast,
but it was kind of interesting.
You have to admit that it was kind of interesting.
Mitch, we were talking about diseases
that give you big tits or a big hog.
I want to see this gives you two pussies.
Two pussies.
Pretty good.
You don't know what the hell to do. No, I don't know what to do with one of these things.
I have a great guest on the podcast.

Andrea Jan is back.
Hi, Andrea.
Hi.
Thanks so much for being here.
Thanks for having me.
Thank you for being here.
Thanks for having me.
You know, we've loved having you on the show.
It's been a little bit since we got you back in the main feed.
And we're talking before the show that you lived in Vancouver.
Yes.
You mostly grew up there, yes?
Yeah, 15 years.
Vancouver's got an island.
A lot of people from Vancouver Island.
There's a Vancouver Island.
But it's not Vancouver.
We don't go much. It's not Vancouver.
It's called Victoria.
People live on it, right?
Yeah, people live on it.
Mostly students,
because there's a college there.
Oh, interesting.
And old people, because they retire there.
Oh.
Yeah, I can see that.
Yeah.
Old and the young.
Yeah.
All over there.
I know.
It seems to be that way a lot in university towns, no?
Old and young.
College towns.
Is that true?
Is that true about Ithaca?
But fucking all those college students
seeing your fucking creep ass Paul Revere making your way across the fuck, Paul Revere.
George Washington crossed the river.
I'm starting to believe in long COVID now.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Piece of shit.
Here's what I wanted to ask you, Andrea.
Is Paul Revere, whatever.
You're doing great.
Yeah.
You were in the same.
Put two pussies.
Ha ha ha ha. You remember? We all like that. We enjoyed it. That was good. You're doing great. Yeah. You were in the same- Two pussies.
You remember?
We all liked that.
We enjoyed it. That was good.
So we're talking Burger King today.
Burger King and Tim Hortons are the same corporate ownership.
They are?
Restaurant Brands International.
I didn't know that.
I wanted to ask you-
You said that like very excitedly, like they are,
but you don't really care that much, do you?
I care as much as two pussies.
You know, like that's interesting.
So here's my question.
As someone who, as a Vancouverite,
is that the full name?
Yeah.
Do you have any Tim's thoughts?
Hate.
Hate?
Yeah, hate it.
That's a very strong-
With everything in my body.
Really? Even if someone's like, hey, we gotta grab a very strong. With everything in my body. Really?
Even if someone's like, hey, we got to grab a cup of coffee.
Hate.
Wow.
Nobody would say that.
They wouldn't say, we're going to go to Tim Horton's
for a cup of coffee.
All right, so I called Bootsy on all of Canada
when I was up there because they were like, we don't like it.
But they're always so crowded and always people
are getting stuff.
I don't know who's going there.
I really don't know anyone personally that would go there.
We also, here's the other thing, I like Tim Hortons.
I had, I, it's a-
I think you're wrong.
No, you're wrong.
You're both wrong.
It's your long COVID.
It's the long COVID part that likes it.
Because I had it a lot in university.
It just, but I had it because it was the only part that likes it. Because I had it a lot in university.
But I had it because it was the only option available
on campus.
But it's just sugar with diarrhea.
That's what it feels like.
That's what it feels like the coffee is.
And then the donuts are not what it used to be.
They're different now. Well, the intensification-wise of the world. That's true. Yeah. And then the donuts are not what it used to be. They're different now. Well, the intensification-wise of the world.
Yeah.
That's true, yeah.
Exactly.
We're kind of that place worldwide.
Like everything is just kind of slowly degrading.
The Duncan thing is that they used to make donuts in-house.
And I'm sure the same thing happened with Tim Hortons,
where they used to make donuts there.
And then now they bring in donuts every morning from some,
it's like some factory that makes them,
and then they bring them in.
Something bad happened and it's not,
I mean I never liked it, even in university I was like,
why am I eating this?
Like I don't have to eat this.
Sure.
You know, but I was just doing it
because everybody else around me was like,
they were all like, oh let's go there.
That sounds like you fell into the peer pressures
of college.
I did, yeah.
And then I stopped and then all my friends stopped
and it's like, we came out of this haze of like,
oh, let's stop eating bullshit or drinking, you know.
We never really got out of that haze, Wags and I.
No, that's the problem.
But to me, it feels like there's kind of a momentum
and what you were discussing is kind of the kind of thing
I'm thinking of, of there's an inertia to it
just being everywhere, where
people just end up going there. And it's like, I don't like Starbucks. Every time I'm at
Starbucks, I'm like, this sucks. What am I doing here? But sometimes just like, well,
I'm going to grab a coffee. There's a Starbucks here. Fine.
It's the only thing available.
Yeah, exactly.
I think Starbucks is worse than Demi Horton.
What? No.
Starbucks is bad.
No.
I think I agree with you.
Starbucks sucks. What? Yeah. They're crazy. And. I think I agree with you. Starbucks sucks.
What?
Yeah.
They're crazy.
And you know what?
I'll sing it.
You're saying crazy things.
Like Paul Revere, I'll say it from the back of my horse riding around wise.
George Washington crossed the Potomac River.
Very good.
And Paul Revere warned that the British were coming.
That's right.
Wow.
You redeemed yourself.
Well, as a Canadian, you're a Canadian.
Yeah.
So I mean, some of that is, you know all those facts.
All of it is new information.
Like, I don't know, because I have never
learned any of that in Canada.
Is this really, you're messing around.
No, I'm not.
Why would they get away?
American history was not taught to us.
Yeah, they don't need to get super granular
with American history.
Paul Revere was, you know, he was on the horse.
And he said, the British are coming,
was his big, you know, that's his claim to fame.
I know that.
He was warned.
And then, one if by land, two if by sea, right?
Why isn't that the old?
Right, yeah.
And Mitch, I don't know what that means.
I think it was some sort of light that they shown.
I think that was the idea.
It was like, yes, where the attack was coming from.
But it's like, you know, and I don't know the answer either.
I knew this at some point and I unlearned it.
Like, I don't know who Canada's first prime minister is.
You know what I mean?
It's like, I don't actually know the date
when Canada was founded or became fully independent.
I don't know that sort of shit.
We don't learn that here.
I feel like they're actively not trying to teach you
world history in America.
Like I feel like that's just like a thing
you're specifically learning an American perspective
on everything.
Yeah, you kind of got to do it on your own,
which I'm not going to do.
Did George Washington during the Revolutionary War
cross the Potomac, is that correct?
Sounds right.
And that was me, you crossing the channel
into the island of college students
was kind of what I was saying.
You were like a creepy version of that.
That's what I was trying to say.
You know, as far as river crossings go,
I like the Rubicon.
What?
Crossing the Rubicon?
That's a Caesar thing.
Oh, Caesar.
And then you get to say crossing the Rubicon,
like, as an expression.
That is nice.
That is fun.
Yeah.
I think it's my favorite. I mean, Oregon Trail is Rubicon like as an expression. That is nice. That is fun. That is my return, yeah.
I think it's my favorite.
I mean, Oregon Trail is some of my favorite river crossing.
I'm trying to think of my favorite river crossing.
I like the Nile.
The Nile was pretty good.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I was like, you know, they have like concepts
of what like ancient Egypt looked like
and it's kind of cool.
Cause it's more like a-
Colorful.
It's colorful. There's a lot more, you know,
foliage then at this time.
They also like, I guess the, you know, the Greek statues,
all these marble things that are like, you know, preserved
and then they're white as we know them.
They used to be painted.
Yeah, they all had color.
And they actually looked really gaudy.
Yeah.
Which is really interesting to think about.
Oh, that's interesting, yeah.
Yeah, definitely, yeah.
Like they looked like clowns, basically.
I know, yeah, everything had color,
it just lost its color.
Yeah.
And then if you're showing,
if you're doing like a Roman drama or something like that,
you'll show all these like old marble statues,
but that's not what it was actually,
what you're actually looking at.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's just like what we think of as the Roman pastiche.
How do you think they made some of that stuff?
The pyramids and so on?
What do you think?
I don't know.
I just, I mean, that ancient engineering is amazing.
Do you think it was just, are you not an ancient aliens guy?
No, I don't.
I mean, I don't necessarily believe in the Stargate theory.
I think a lot of it is just like, you can do it.
You can do so much with forced labor.
I think that was the grim reality of it.
Yeah.
They were just forcing people to die in mass
in these huge, these massive physical tasks.
Yeah, lifelong projects.
Right.
Yeah.
I don't agree with the forced labor thing, just to be clear.
I just want to make it clear that we don't agree with it.
But those pyramids look pretty good.
They are cool as hell.
The pyramids look cool.
Oh, well, let's go back to Tim's adjacent.
Yeah.
So you don't like Tim Hortons,
but like, where do you stand on like coffees
and donuts in general?
I like, I love donuts.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll find a donut.
I'll find one.
You'll find one.
I'll find one.
I'll make my way to a donut for sure.
You know, I've been, this has been popping up for me recently.
It's been pissing me off.
I'll suggest a donut sometimes.
Yeah.
And someone will tell me, whoever is in the group or they're there, they'll be like, I'm
not a donut person.
That's weird.
I hate, that's been popping up for more than one person that I've encountered.
Donuts I think are among my favorite treats. Yeah, me too. That's weird. I hate, that's been popping up for more than one person that I've encountered.
Donuts I think are among my favorite treats.
Yeah, me too.
I think if you're truly not a donut person,
there's something weird with you
because everyone likes to eat a donut.
I understand being like, I can't eat a donut.
You know what I mean?
Like I shouldn't eat a donut.
I'm too full.
Yeah, if you shouldn't.
Say you shouldn't or I need to be good
or like it's fried, whatever.
Yeah.
But don't say you're not a donut person.
Yeah, that's insane.
Yeah, not a donut person.
Emma, Amelia, donut people?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Wait, you seem a little lukewarm on donuts.
Yeah.
I can see myself being one of those people
who says I'm not a donut person.
What the fuck?
Really? I definitely think I have to be in the mood for it cuz it's like so much sure it's like a does
It's like a sweet treat like a dessert type thing, but I'm never if someone's like do you want a donut?
I'm not gonna be like no
What's going on with you today?
I don't like what the fuck's happening with you
What the fuck?
Sorry about it
What the fuck's happening here?
What treats would you rank over donut?
Ice cream.
Yeah, ice cream number one for me.
Ice cream number one for me.
So I agree with you there.
No.
You don't like ice cream?
I don't like people that pick ice cream first.
Wow.
Yeah.
Fuck.
You're in trouble because you got one here.
Shots fired.
First and foremost, ice cream?
Yeah, number one for me.
It doesn't stay solid.
That's the point.
So you gotta eat it.
Wait a minute, that's the point?
Yeah.
Why is that the point?
Is that the point?
Yeah, it's good.
This one makes ice cream ice cream.
No, I want it to be intact.
Yeah, I love ice cream.
Do you want to be able to put your leisure a little bit more?
Yeah, and I want it.
There's a ticking clock with ice cream.
I don't like the ticking clock, it's so much pressure.
Right.
Like, what if I want a little bit and then later, you know?
Right.
This is hard for me because we were talking about donuts
and then we were like, our donut's better than cake.
Remember we had this conversation?
Yes.
And I was like, oh my God, our donut's better than cake?
And I was like, I guess I've like,
I like, I was like, I've enjoyed donuts more in my life
than I have cake.
And so I'm like, yeah, I guess donuts are better than cake,
but I'm not like eating either of them a lot.
I'm not eating cake or donuts a lot.
But if it's your birthday and someone's like,
do you want a cake or donuts?
You want, you do want cake,
but that's so specific to your birthday.
Yeah.
It is, it is situational.
Ice cream cake.
Well, my beef with ice cream is that it's a liquid.
I don't see liquids as dessert.
Interesting.
Or food.
Ice cream is a liquid that is solidified.
Yeah, it's a frozen liquid.
No, you got to say that.
Yeah, but the second it enters your face, it's liquid.
You don't like, it's liquid.
You don't like the texture.
You're winning me over a little bit on this.
I kind of get what you're saying.
It's the texture change.
I think texture is huge for me.
And the fact the lack of texture, it pisses me off.
Okay, so where are donuts in your dessert hierarchy?
Donuts are maybe like second.
What do you put one?
Pie. Cookie? Some kind of like chocolatey What do you put one? Pie.
Cookie?
Some kind of like chocolatey thing.
Anything with chocolate in it.
I'm a chocolate, I'm a big chocolate fan too.
Like a brownie, like a chocolate bar.
But cookies are below donuts and cake.
Yeah, cookies are below.
Cookies below donuts.
I think so.
I might put cookies above donuts.
You're a big cookie.
You're a big cookie guy.
I'm a cookie guy, yeah.
Cookies are really good.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, they are, look, they're all good.
Look, we like cookies.
They're all good.
I like when they're so melted, you know?
Oh, hold on, I was like, what?
You don't like ice cream because it's...
Now I'm confused.
As I said it, I realized, but... No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No I like, I am a mushy cookie fan.
I like a hot gooey mushy cookie.
Me too.
Yeah.
But I don't want, I want it to still have,
it still has to hold shape.
The edges.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, there we go.
This brings me to the nexus of ooey gooey,
so soft and chewy warm cookie,
and ice cream, which you don't like,
which is the BJ's Pizzucchi.
Have you had a Pizzucchi?
What's that pan?
It's a big, like it's a fucking big ass cookie
and it's hot as fuck.
And then they put like a scoop of ice cream on the middle
and it melts over the top.
I'll tolerate the ice cream for that.
In that context, I think you'd like it.
I do, but I could do without the ice cream.
Interesting.
It would be fine.
It would be no problem.
No, actually, you are now wrong here.
It would be no problem for me.
Oh, I'm wrong?
Sorry, I mean, you're right.
You're entitled to your own opinions.
No, tell me why, it's because it's the contrast that I'm missing out on?
I think contrast is part of the fun.
But you know what I'll do in substitute for the ice cream?
I'll do a glass of milk.
That's fun.
Yeah.
Do you want a mushy cookie with a glass of milk?
Yeah.
That's nice.
I'd be interested in your take on the pizookie,
if you ever find yourself eating one, because it's like,
I think, yes, just the on on on their own are good and I think you'd like but I wonder
if just having again having the contrast of the ice cream would wake it up a little bit.
I'll have I'll do it. Yeah seek it out. I'll do it. You don't have to do it. I'll do it.
You generally don't have to do it. Right away this. You genuinely don't have to do that.
Right away.
You do not have to do that.
But we're not talking cookies today anyways.
Or donuts.
Donuts to me is, I mean, like, I don't eat donuts as a breakfast item anymore.
It is so much of like a treat, I guess, more so, or a breakfast dessert, which I think it's fun being a breakfast dessert.
Yeah, I agree.
Because muffins still pass the test for me.
I'm like, even if it's a chocolate chip muffin,
I'm like, okay, it's like not a,
but it still counts as a breakfast thing for me in a way.
I mean, it is, it's very much like cake still.
I can't start my day with sugar anymore.
Sure.
It just sets me up for failure.
But like, what's your typical breakfast?
I'll do eggs.
Okay.
Cucumbers.
Hey, there you go.
And then, what's the, a peach?
An in-season.
Eggs, cucumbers, and a peach.
Yeah, like a in-season fruit of some kind.
And uh, and uh.
It sounds good, honestly.
No it doesn't.
No it doesn't.
Eggs, cucumber, and a peach? I mean, it doesn't sound good.
It doesn't sound good?
Wait, and then I'll...
You're not mixing them together.
You're having like some scrambled eggs.
Separate on a plate, yeah.
It's not together.
Scramble eggs, maybe some sliced cucumbers.
No, you're not making an omelet.
It's still as strange as a trio, I guess you could say.
I think it's just whatever I can muster up.
Because I'm not, I just don't, I can't...
I can't...
I can't...
I can't...
I can't...
I can't... I can't... I can I think it's just whatever I can muster up.
Cause I'm not, I just don't, I can't mix things.
Like I'm not cooking, you know what I mean?
Sure.
I'm just assembling some foods that are around.
I like my eggies.
I'm an eggy boy.
I give me a nice eggy breakfast.
That's what it's made this morning.
How is it cooked?
I always go, look, I think people shy away from it more
as they become adults,
but I still do love a good scrambled egg.
I feel like over easy or a fried egg or something.
And I love those too,
but my mom makes a great scrambled egg,
and I had them when I was home, and I can't help it.
A nice fluffy scrambled egg whites.
A lot of fun.
I'll whip up, oftentimes, like a two egg omelet for myself,
and just put a little cheese in that bad boy.
I do love people.
And then I'll have that with some greens
or some fresh berries or something.
So I'm in adjacent territory to cucumber and peach.
Yeah, but I got shit on.
Yeah.
Sliced cucumber next to egg seem like I would throw them away.
It seems like a garnish.
If someone presented you with that, you were like.
I would be confused.
You would flop it out of their ass.
Yes.
I mean, if you gave me scrambled eggs and then sliced cucumber,
I'd be like, this sucks.
I mean, wouldn't most people?
This sucks.
Yeah.
You're not sure?
I think it'd be a little surprise
because I don't usually see those elements paired,
but I think I would like, hey, I could see this working.
They were in separate piles on the plate, sure.
But if it's like mixed together in a bowl,
then like, no, I'd probably be like, this is odd.
I'm not mixing it. I'm not mixing it.
I'm not mixing it.
Yeah, and then I'll find a bread of some kind.
I just want to say that I was at the Fable
this last, just yesterday, shooting Casey's movie.
And I was like, what is, when's the last time I was here?
And the answer was, your piss party.
My piss party. There was your piss party?
Amelia had a piss themed party credit card is still behind that bar from Casey's birthday party in January. Oh my god
They still have it I mean it's still if your Apple pay is working. It means that it's still
Card is still active. I could have gotten it for you. I was there
Wow, that's like that I've never ever heard of you being irresponsible
I tried calling they don't have a phone and that they don't open till five and every day that I've thought about it I'm like, I don't feel like going to a bar right now, so I just haven't gotten it yet.
Oh my God.
Former bartender yourself, thank you for your service.
You must have had situations where someone
would leave a credit card,
and it would just be behind the bar forever.
Yeah, and at the end of the night,
you just run it and you charge 20% tip automatically
on whatever tab was opened on,
and then we just held onto them until,
I guess they got thrown away eventually
if nobody came and claimed them.
We also had a drawer of IDs that we had confiscated,
so I got my first fake ID.
Wow.
I would say for you, it's, I think,
the six-month throwaway thing is probably close to happening.
Yeah, it's probably almost gone.
It's got to be close to happening.
I should go get it.
It's going to be in the trash zoo.
Yeah.
There's another, but that's another, like,
quirk of the American restaurant industry, right?
Because it's like, because in Canada, one thing I like
to have up there when we were up in Toronto
for Toronto dough is they have the machine.
Yeah, we have a machine.
And you do that with a bar, at a bar too, right?
Everywhere. We have machine everywhere.
I've also worked at bars where you just swipe the card,
it puts it on the tab, and then you hand it back to the person
so that at the end of the night, if they haven't closed out,
you can just run the card on file,
but they also get to take their card, which I wish they had done in this situation,
because I just walked out without it, and I forgot.
I mean, your card is definitely, a card could get shredded
and you can still have the information and use it.
That card is gone.
I should probably get a new one.
The card is, that card is gone.
Yeah.
They're gonna be like, I'm gonna go ask,
they're gonna be like, what the fuck is wrong with you?
At Casey's birthday next January, I'll ask.
You can use the same, is this a credit card or a debit card?
Yeah, it's an Amex card.
Okay, so at least a credit card.
Yeah, it's a credit card.
It's good to know that everyone that worked with us
carded it anymore.
Should I do it right now?
I'm just having to know that every member
of the Doughboys Me is a fucking idiot.
So my brother.
It is so great.
It's like, wait also, Emma,
this is the second card you lost.
You lost one of them.
Yeah, wait, I lost one of the Red Lion. lost. You lost one of them. Yeah, wait.
I lost one of the Red Lion.
Remember when the Red Lion lost my card?
Do you remember this?
Oh, no.
At that bar?
You were there that night.
They ran my card, and then they dropped it somewhere behind the bar.
That was where the Jersey fantasy rider guy was.
Yeah.
Oh, that was a very fun day.
I fucking love The Hobbit.
That guy was a lot of fun.
But that night, the bartenders dropped my card behind a refrigerator or something, and they could not get it back. Yeah. That guy, that guy was a lot of fun. But that night the bartenders dropped my card
behind a refrigerator or something.
They could not get it back.
Right.
And they felt so bad they just kept giving me
free tequila shots.
That's right, yeah.
Wow.
Was that a Doughboy's card?
No, it was the same card.
Oh my god.
Then I replaced it and I left it at the fable.
Then maybe that card is like a little cockroach.
It will be fine.
Yeah, it'll come back to me someday.
It's at the fable right now.
Jersey Fantasy Guy sounds like a Comedy Bang Bang character.
Yeah, kind of. Maybe we'll steal that. Yeah, it'll come back to me someday. Jersey Fantasy Guy sounds like a comedy bang bang character. It kinda does.
Maybe we'll steal that.
I'll never be asked to do that show.
Um, I like that you-
Brandon Sanderson, my dog.
We ran an ad for them literally last week.
I like, Amelia, I like you clutching your pearls
when I said everyone who works with us was a fucking idiot.
When we were talking about your piss party
just moments before.
Yeah.
You had a piss party.
It was fun.
It was a very fun party.
It was a piss-themed birthday party.
I didn't go, but I might-
Not a surprise?
Yeah, but my understanding is that you had a jug of piss
you were carrying around.
That is correct.
And also there was a urinal cake.
The cake was shaped like a urinal cake.
Urinal cake. Urinal cake cake. Whoa. correct. And also there was a urinal cake. A cake with shapes like a urinal cake.
Yeah, that, okay.
Urinal cake cake.
Whoa.
Yeah.
What did the people working there think of this one?
They loved it.
They loved it.
I had my birthday again the next year
and they were like, piss girls back.
Yeah.
Wow.
So they, she can get my card back, no problem.
She was, to, Andrew asked whose piss was it
and to answer your question,
she was carrying around one of those things
that you piss at in hospitals.
Yes, my friend who works at Cedar Scion,
I brought like a...
It's like a bedpan kind of.
Yeah, like a, not a catheter.
It's like a bottle.
A bottle, yeah, for urine,
but it was just water and food coloring,
so it was very hydrated that night.
And I was like, that's a new one, right?
And you're like, yeah, I think so.
And I was like, all right.
It was wet when she handed it to me.
I think it was clean.
Oh, no.
Oh.
Anyway.
Oh, boy.
OK, we're talking burgers today.
Well, where do you stand on burgers?
I love, love a burger.
Do you have a perfect kind of like a platonic ideal
of how a burger would be assembled,
what components you wanna see on it?
Yeah, I want a soft brioche bun.
Okay.
Sauce, a lot of sauce, lettuce, crispy, tomato, pickles,
grilled onions, very thin patty, two thin patties,
and then lots of sauce, and then the other bun. Very thin patty, two thin patties,
and then lots of sauce, and then the other bun.
So you're like, to me it sounds like you're kind of maybe
like a-
Cheese, forgot cheese.
Cheese is a key component,
but I feel like you're describing maybe kind of like
the smash burger sort of when you're talking
about those thin patties.
Very thin, made a thick patty.
Cause that, what that brings me to is, you know,
maybe to me the highest quality in all of fast food
is a Canadian chain, A&W Canada.
I love A&W.
They feel like they have a little bit of a thicker patty.
It's thin enough.
It's thin enough.
That I'm okay with it.
Right.
I did the thick patty at, what's it called again?
A&W Canada.
Oh wait, that's what we,
what was the other one we went to?
Oh, the, I know what you're talking about,
the other burger, well the one,
the burger that's owned by the place that does Swiss Shelle.
What's the burger place, Harvey's.
Harvey's, yeah.
Oh.
Where they make your burger like on the line.
I did the thick, I did a thick burger there
and the woman behind the counter was like,
it tastes like worms.
Yeah.
And I think she was kind of right. It's like a thicker patty. And the lady behind the counter was like, it tastes like worms. Yeah. And I think she was kind of right. It's like a thicker patty.
Oh.
And the lady behind the counter was like, I was like,
what do you like more?
Like, what do you like better, the thicker patty
or like the Rego patty?
She's like, I think the thick patty tastes like worms.
I like a thinner.
I don't need a big, especially with a fast food burger.
A&W, we're both on board.
We both like the Teen Burger, just to say it.
Great Teen Burger. The Teen Burger, just to say it.
Great Teen Burger.
The Teen Burger is a lot of fun.
And the one we got that we,
remember we had the Ruffles Crunch Burger
was fucking great.
The Ruffles Crunch Teen Burger.
Oh, I don't even, that's a limited one.
Yeah, it was an LPO.
You missed out, you missed out.
Fuck.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
That level of thickness in the patties is decent,
I agree.
Yeah, I'm OK with that.
I think there was a trend in just restaurants
where they would have burgers with the really thick Angus
beef or something.
Yes, right.
And that I hated.
I've always hated that type of burger.
Oonga Pachka.
I've had a good thick burger.
It just is, you know, it depends on where you are
and what you're getting.
In fast food, I don't need it. I agree with what Andrea is saying, is just like, if you, it depends on what where you are and what you're getting. It's in fast food. I don't need it.
I agree with what Andrew is saying is just like if you're getting two patties
or I like or I'm sorry, I'd rather if I want more meat, I'd rather that be
it'd be spread across two different patties rather than one big orb of meat.
Yeah, because it's a lot of meat with just dry meat.
It's a lot of no sauce going on.
Yeah. Yeah. Man, a fucking great cheeseburger last night was so fucking good.
I went to just a just a restaurant near where we live, but it was like, I went and saw,
we have our final reckoning episode,
which we're gonna record after this,
but I went and saw final reckoning again,
and then I just was gotten a fucking cheeseburger.
It was just hitting so hard.
Wow.
It's like, I was like, you know, like perfectly,
like I ordered medium and like theme, like, you know.
Is the place I won't dock?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it was the place we went together? Yeah, I went there it medium and like theme, like, you know. Is the place I won't dock.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it was the place we went together?
Yeah, we went there before, yeah.
Wow. Yeah.
Lovely time.
Great. Okay.
It's one of those meals that was just hitting.
But yeah, you have like a really good cheese burger.
It's like, fuck, this is, is this the best food?
Yes. It's as good as food gets.
It's so good. Yeah.
But I don't like that Americans,
you guys do rare burgers.
Oh, interesting. We cook it all the way in Canada.
Man, I'd much rather have like a medium burger
with some pink in it than like well done.
Like that to me is a charge to a Chris.
I ran into this issue in Canada,
is that they cook meat, stuff gets,
your meat is more likely to get overcooked there.
And it was, I like was, I was like,
can I get medium rare? And it was like more close to like medium well. And I was, I was like, can I get medium rare?
And it was like more close to like medium well.
And I was not happy about it.
I wasn't.
Yeah. Oh no.
Yeah, they cook through, they cook, they cook.
I'm the reverse of you.
Here, I'll ask for medium and they give me medium rare
and I get upset.
Wow.
That's, it is, here, it's that sort of thing of,
a lot of burger places you,
like a lot of fast food burger places,
that's not an issue because they're gonna be gray
or cooked all the way through.
Like Burger King, you're never, Burger King McDonald's
is never, it's never an issue.
I mean like honestly, anywhere,
like even in and out burger or something like that, right?
There was like no places where you're gonna,
like sure, if you get a more rare burger,
something is wrong.
Oh my God, yeah.
But anywhere else, any restaurant you go to,
they're gonna cook it less.
And in fact, it was an issue at Hard Rock
when we were in New York.
It was undercooked.
100%.
Hard Rock, Planet Hollywood.
Planet Hollywood, same difference.
Yeah.
Same shitty fucking.
I knew exactly what you meant and did not correct you
because it just sounded right to me.
But yes, you're right, It was planned all the way.
It was planned all the way.
We, yeah, but like, wait, does that apply to like all,
like any sort of beef preparation?
You want to go well done, medium well?
Uh, yeah.
Even with a steak?
Steak, yeah.
Wow.
I just don't trust, I don't know.
But especially ground beef.
Yeah, sure.
Because I think I watched too many food documentaries
in high school.
They showed us a lot in high school.
Wait, really?
Yeah.
It's a big part of Canadian education.
I don't know.
What the fuck is going on over there?
The public schools are showing you like scare videos
about food safety.
Yeah, we watched like Super Size Me
and like the one where they mistreat cows and stuff.
Wow.
Super Size Me was bullshit.
I mean, Rest In Peace, Morgan Spurlock.
But that was one that was.
I don't even remember what it's about.
But the one that's.
It was about an alcoholic pretending
McDonald's is bad for you.
I mean, which it is bad for you.
But the cow one really stuck with me
where the ground beef is just like not safely, yeah.
See, this is something that's totally at odds
with American public education
because they would never do anything to discourage you
from like eating or consuming.
Like they're pretending that everything is fine.
Yeah, we got a lot of beef propaganda.
Yeah.
Yeah, no. Wow. So that put you towards like now I'm really conscious about things being sanitary and
I was neat.
Yeah.
Why?
I think I'll tell you about this.
It wasn't it multiple times when I got beef in Canada, it was overcooked.
It was, it's the truth.
I went to, we had like a cast dinner at a place too.
And it was like, it was likeooked. And it was, it's the truth. I went to, we had like a cast dinner at a place too,
and it was like medium rare again.
It was cooked all the way through.
It happened to me like five different times
when I ate beef up there.
I think it just is, I think it's an issue.
I think it's a Canadian issue.
You gotta ask for it way, like rare or something.
Like blue, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm gonna come back medium.
Yeah, that's wild.
We gotta talk to some more Canadians about this.
I'm curious about this, Tre. Well, I think also that also comes from Chinese, yeah. I'm gonna come back medium. Yeah, that's wild. We gotta talk to some more Canadians about this. I'm curious about this, Tray.
Well, I think also that also comes from Chinese, so.
Oh, okay, sure.
There's a bit of it that's China,
but then I think most of it is Canada.
Yeah.
Because a lot of my Canadian friends are like that too.
Wow.
Yeah, where burgers,
we're not having anything other than well done. Sure.
Yeah.
And if you have like, if you're like stir frying like meat, you cook it through.
It's not, you know what I mean?
You're not like...
But my grandma does this thing actually I just remembered when she makes dumplings and
it's pork.
She'll, she's making the filling and it's raw.
She'll taste some.
Raw pork.
So she'll just have raw pork.
Pork is the one that...
That's wild. Raw pork is the one'll just have raw pork. Pork is the one that, That's wild.
Raw pork is the one that you should always have
the most cooked.
I know, and she's doing that and I'm realizing,
wait, that's crazy that she does that.
Some people are just machines.
And also I think so much of it is how fresh the meat is
a lot of the time, right?
It's not fresh, it's from like a supermarket.
Oh Jesus.
Yeah, she doesn't have like a pork hookup or anything.
She just has the supermarket, and then she's trusting it.
Oh, God.
I got to tell you that.
She probably has iron.
Yeah, you actually, you should just tell her stuff.
But she must have iron insides at this point in her life
to continue to do it.
I hope so.
Or it's just like killing her.
No. I mean, I don't think so. She's okay.
Yeah.
But my grandpa's healthier than her though.
He doesn't do that.
You talked about, cause you lived on a farm right at some point?
Yeah, I did.
Which side of your family was it?
It was my mom's side.
Your mom's side.
My grandparent's side.
So is this not the same?
It's the same.
It's the same grandma.
Okay. All right. See that to me is. Yeah, they side, okay. My grandparents, yeah. So is this not the same? It's the same. It's the same grandma, okay.
All right, see that to me is.
Yeah, they're farm people.
They're farm people.
They're okay with the raw.
Are they still on the farm?
No, no, no, no, we moved out of the farm.
Thank God.
This was largely a COVID thing, right?
Everybody tell us about this on the podcast before.
And the farm failed.
Yeah.
Yeah, it would have been a forever thing, but it failed.
Yeah, yeah. So it became a COVID thing.
Right.
You know?
And it wasn't intentional.
Yeah.
It was meant to last forever.
But you don't realize that it's like starting a business.
There's financial risk involved with like having your own farm.
It just might not work out.
Yeah.
What exactly did you sell like a?
We sold blue, we had blueberries on the farm,
but we didn't, we had blueberries on the farm,
but we didn't, we kind of neglected them.
And it was like, my mom just did weed in the garage.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, she grew weed in the garage.
Yeah.
And then my grandparents were really focused
on the farm animals.
So we got geese and chickens,
and we wanted to get a cow,
but the farm failed before we could get the cow.
Now, what I remember from when we had you on previously
and we talked about this, and I'm not sure
if I will deliver it in verbatim how you told us,
but it's a line that has stuck with me from the podcast,
which is, you said we had a rooster,
but we had to kill it because it kept kicking the shit
out of my grandpa.
It did.
It kept kicking the shit out of my grandpa.
My grandpa had giant bruises on him.
I found the pictures of it on my laptop recently.
I was shocked.
I was like, whoa, we let this happen?
This is elder abuse.
This is elder abuse on me
because I'm letting these chickens fuck my grandpa. But
like, we killed them and it was um, it was really crazy.
A chicken will just kick a man.
They're just like, oh yeah, like fly kick. That's like a fly
kick. Like, they can fly a little bit. Yeah, yeah, they
try. They definitely try and then they'll fly and kick
My grandpa and my grandma, you know, all he's doing is just trying to feed the hens cuz the
Kind of respectfully say something. This farm seems like a fucking mess
Your grandma's eating raw meat
Trying ripe raw pork your grandpa's getting his ass kicked,
your mom has grown weed in there,
the blueberries was a big attraction,
you're neglecting them, you're saying.
What the hell, what was going on here?
All the blueberries were dead by the time we sold it,
but we sold out of profit.
Hey, there you go, I love that.
There's like shit everywhere, there's poo.
Cause all these animals poo so much.
They poo. They're pooing.
I thought you were making a distinction.
There's shit everywhere. There's poo.
There's like crap all over the place.
Dumps line around.
We got this giant dog.
We have this giant dog
that just pooed everywhere.
And then the chickens were pooing everywhere.
There was a dog that was doing this?
The dog was pooing everywhere. And then the chickens were pooing. Oh, was it dog that was doing this? The dog was pooing everywhere and then
the chickens were pooing everywhere and then the,
we had geese, duck, oh, we had ducks.
The duck poo is so disgusting.
Duck poo is really bad.
But duck eggs are very good, so that's why we had the ducks.
You're, oh, duck eggs, I've never had, I don't know, I must have tried.
You've had duck eggs.
I'm feeling it.
I'm sure I have.
You reminded me of, the old dog reminded me,
I have a movie pitch.
Go for it.
I think you'll like it.
The Adventures of Young Yeller.
That's pretty good.
So like old Yeller, and then young Yeller,
like you get to see like old Yeller
as like a horny young dog.
Yeah, sure.
And then like maybe the guy tries to take him around
the barn, but he fucking, the young Yeller fucking,
you know, turns the tables on him or something.
Right, right.
Yeah.
Starts humping.
Yeah, starts humping his leg
and the guy accidentally shoots himself.
Oh, horrible death.
That's so funny.
And then he poos.
And then he shits, yeah then he shits. Yeah, yeah.
And then they sell that farm for a profit.
For a profit.
A family comes in, we'll take it.
It's my family.
Yeah.
So it seems like the farm was a wild.
It was a piece of shit.
Yeah.
It was a piece of shit. Yeah.
It was a piece of shit.
And then I, what was I doing?
Yeah, I was like helping my mom with the weed,
but I didn't know what I was doing.
Did your mom like weed before she was growing it
or was like a thing just to do for money?
No, she thought it was like a cash cow.
Yeah.
She's probably right, but I think that now it's illegal
so everywhere that I feel like it's harder.
Yeah. Yeah, she was wrong.
Like the prices went down and it's legal.
I don't understand why she thought it would be,
and then we didn't know anything.
We had to buy so many machines.
I was spraying like W40 on stuff.
On weed?
On the weed by accident.
By accident.
On weed? On the weed by accident.
By accident.
By accident.
I didn't know that you can't do that.
We should maybe cut some of this out just for liability.
Well, that's already gone.
That's long.
This was like so many years ago.
That weed has been smoked by someone.
I don't know who.
I feel like, you know, like there's a lot of, it's,
you know, there's movies like this,
like the anime only yesterday.
There's like the games like Stardew Valley,
which are like the agrarian fantasy of like escaping
from the toil of everyday life and going out to the country
and having a farm.
And it's this beautiful rural experience.
But like the reality of it is that it can also have its own,
like, you know, its own pitfalls.
Oh, it's terrible.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's just poop everywhere.
And then dirt, and dirt all the time.
And then there's no internet.
And that's, I guess that's fine. It's fine for a little bit.
But complete silence?
Like, when you step outside,
it's just darkness and complete silence.
And it's kind of, I guess it's nice, but it's very eerie,
especially when there are old people around.
I like the silence.
Not that old people are, I mean like in cases of emergency.
Oh, sure.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what we were saying.
That makes sense. I like the silence and I like the darkness.
Those are pluses for me.
The poop I was like kinda like.
Put that on your tombstone.
I like the silence and I like the darkness.
In heaven.
All the shit I'm less keen about,
but I'm also like, I can handle.
Yeah, I don't like all the shit.
I can handle shit.
But then you said dirt and I was like,
fuck, I guess I really don't like dirt.
Dirt's fucking, dirt's annoying.
It's a lot of dirt.
And it's probably be dusty.
You know what usually annoys me more than dirt?
Is shit is usually the worst one.
Shit is worse.
But I can understand that this is kind of the price
for entry.
It's like, hey, I'm going to have a bunch of farm animals.
They're going to shit.
I'm going to have to take care of that.
That's fine.
I'm going to process it in a fertilizer or whatever the fuck.
You can also have areas of your farm
that are grassy and a grassy knoll.
Grass is nice, but it would be, but it feels
like some dirt is inevitable.
And you know what?
I'm not crazy about dirt.
The bugs, the bugs.
Bugs are a problem.
The bugs are always trying to fuck you.
Every bug is trying to fuck you in some way.
They're trying to fuck the blueberries.
They're trying to fuck the crops.
You also, they're trying to fuck you. They're trying to fuck the blueberries. They're trying to fuck the crops.
You also, they're trying to fuck you.
They're trying to get in the house
and make everything terrible.
And so you need to spray, you know,
and it takes forever to spray all these blueberries,
you know?
Right, and this is, oh, go ahead, sorry.
No, I was just gonna say, like, and you want,
like you have the idea of like, oh, we'll do it,
I'll do it in an organic way,
it'll be healthy, but then it's such a pain in the ass
you end up, like, buying Roundup,
you buy some, like, horrible toxic chemicals
just to deal with all the infestations.
There was, when I was home,
there was a carpenter ant in my bed, I told you this.
Yeah, well.
In Quincy, and for me, growing up,
I never saw cockroaches in Quincy, ever.
I just didn't, and I think it's,'t. And I think it's a temperature thing.
In the city, in Boston I'm sure you see them,
but there was a pretty big fat carpenter ant
and it was so big and I killed it.
And I told you, I felt bad.
It was such a big ant, I felt like I had a soul.
I felt bad.
I felt bad killing it.
I really, and it was just such a reaction
where I was like, ugh, and I killed it.
And then I felt so sad afterwards
because it was a big enough thing
that I was like, that's a creature.
Who's like in the middle of a kid's movie?
Who's like in the middle of an adventure?
And I fucking, I stomped him out.
Yeah. Oh my God.
I saw the biggest moth I've ever seen in my life
on the farm. That's disgusting.
That's so gross.
Moths are pretty nasty.
Moths are like palm size?
Like how big?
Like, the size of a gerbil.
Wow.
You're kind of making like an orb that,
it's not quite a basketball, but maybe like a soccer ball.
Yeah, yeah.
When bugs, when you can like feel,
like with moths too, it's like, they're like,
carpety, you know what I mean?
Like, the fact that you can like feel their textures.
Ew, yeah.
That is disgusting to me.
I'm not a, I don't me. I'm not a moth.
There's little moths in my house,
and I kill them with abandon,
but that big ant I felt bad for.
It might just have some sort of soul or something.
I felt bad, I felt bad.
I'm with you. Interesting.
I try not to kill bugs anymore.
Unless they're, honestly, unless they're a threat to my,
if I see a spider,
and I'm like, that spider is probably a threat to my cats,
then I'll kill the spider.
And spiders are good, normally.
Cats are very good at, they catch things.
They catch things, yeah.
Very nimble.
There's some black widows
that have been around my house before,
so like I always just get paranoid
if there's a spider in the house,
I don't want my cats to get bit by them.
That's all I'm in the photo, so.
I'll kill any bug.
I don't care. That's, I brought it up on a photo. I'll kill any bug. I don't care.
I brought it up on the text chain.
And I think, Emma, I think both of you said,
I don't give a fuck about bugs.
Bugs in my bed?
Fuck off.
No, that's my space.
I'm gonna kill that.
Outside.
I'll kill bugs outside.
Well, you don't have to do that.
You don't have to do it.
No, it's not a habit these days.
Out of hatred too.
Cause of being on the farm.
Cause I'm just like, oh man, they fucked with me too much.
I want to eliminate the species, you know?
That's how I feel about it.
I'm killing them outside.
Have you ever seen Starship Troopers?
No.
They should watch it.
It's all about killing bugs.
It's about killing bugs.
You know what?
My grandpa has a war with mice, or sorry, rats. Oh sure. No. They should watch it. It's all about killing bugs. It's about killing bugs. You know what?
My grandpa has a war with mice, or sorry, rats.
Oh, sure.
Rats.
He started to kill rats outside of our home.
That's, see, this is, I don't know why you and your grandpa have taken it to the streets.
Yeah.
To get these-
Vendetta.
Yeah.
Because he's just that angered by-
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Vermin. He's not a fan of vermin. Because they fucked with him quite a bit. My mom's house is angered by. Wow. Yeah, vermin. He's not a fan of vermin.
Cause they've fucked with him quite a bit.
My mom's house is,
my mom's house right now is getting fucked with by mice.
And I want to get her,
she should get a cat or something for the house.
It would be helpful.
That would be nice.
That's a nice way to eliminate.
They do, they really do.
They catch those bad boys.
Jemma used to hunt all the rats in the barn
at the farm she was at before I had her.
Oh, good girl.
She would like catch the rats
and bring them to the other dogs.
Oh, that's nice.
Isn't it so, like, we're having all these conversations
and obviously we're gonna talk about
a bunch of meat that we ate, but it's like,
it's always just like, oh, Jemmy,
what a cute, good girl, we love Jemmy.
But then Jemmy's killing a bunch of rats,
who also had souls.
Jemmy's a fucking murderer. Jemmy is. then Jemmy's killing a bunch of rats who also had souls. Yeah, that's true. Jemmy's a fucking murderer.
Yeah.
I watched her face.
Look at this face.
A little fucking soul destroyer face.
She's making a face that looks like, so what?
She's like, and I ate those rats, and they were delicious.
That is wild.
She just eats the rats.
I've seen her picked up, she picked up a dead squirrel
in the woods once.
Whoa.
We were just like, I wonder what she'll do.
It was just like, it had clearly just been hit by a car
or something recently.
And she just like picked it up and started walking away
like this is my lunch.
And I was like, nah, no, put it down.
This is disgusting.
Never again.
That is gnarly.
And then I roasted her some chicken in the oven.
That's the way to do it.
She also licks her butthole.
So, you know.
Yeah.
Oh my God. Yeah, there's like red lines with what you can,
like what you can feed Jemmy,
but like you have to use discretion on a dog's behalf
because she really wanted the fiery dragon mozzarella fries
which we'll talk about.
She's like, that's not gonna go well for you.
Yeah, she would have like tried it
and then she would have had fiery butt later.
I bet a dog would love two butt holes.
Like we were like, like the dream.
Two butt holes.
Like it is a dream for twice the treat.
I think that would be the best thing that's ever happened.
Dogs?
Yeah.
They love butt holes so much.
They love butt holes.
They like their own.
They like other dogs.
Their favorite.
It's true.
I wouldn't know what to do with two butt holes.
Oh.
Would it suck more for, I mean, I guess it wouldn't know what to do with two buttholes. Oh, shit. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.
Would it suck more for, I mean, I guess it wouldn't, like,
double the shit, really, right?
Like, I guess that's the question is, like, if you
have two buttholes, does that, or is it just choosing?
No, I think it would split it into two.
What if one just for diarrhea?
That's, I love that idea.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Diarrhea only.
So if you see one butthole puckering, you're like, uh-oh.
This is going to be bad.
No, that's the diarrhea one.
But it can be a little tighter and more focused,
so it's a little less explosive.
That's, hey, two buttholes could be worth it.
Yeah.
All right, let's, hey, while we were talking about all sorts of.
Was it just for farts?
I love that.
Ooh.
I love that.
A gas hole and a solids hole.
That's nice.
Emma, a gas hole is very disgusting.
That is actually really disgusting.
It's fucking disgusting.
A gas hole.
A gas hole.
No, don't cut it.
That'd be nice if you could dampen the sound.
So then you could just have like SPDs out of like your secret little castle.
There should be, I mean, there should be.
Silent but deadly?
Oh.
What did you say?
So what's an SPD?
Uh, silent but deadly.
I know that there are like our.
Surprised you don't have that tattooed on you.
Ha ha ha ha.
What's SBD?
Oh, let me check my knuckles.
That'd be good knuckles.
Under my lip right now.
Yeah.
I think that there's like some companies that
have like they sell a blanket to like if you fart
under the blanket, it keeps the smell in the blanket.
Yeah, but I'm like, no couple will ever
want to buy a thing like that as the issue.
But I do wish that there was a thing with pants
that you could soundproof your pants.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
For me, forever, passing gas, as they say,
is like the most mortifying thing
when I'm dating or meeting someone.
I never, even if I dated, like the longest relationship I was in, I still didn't do that in front of someone. Yeah, I'm dating or meeting someone, I never, I never, even if I dated, like the longest relationship
I was in, I still didn't do that in front of someone.
Yeah, I'm with you.
But that's also, that also can just be like a courtesy
to your S.O.
Sure, yes, and also you gotta keep some mystery
or whatever, but like, I wish there was some sort of
diaper or some sort of, some sort of undergarment.
I shouldn't say, I shouldn't go immediately to diaper, but some sort of, some sort of undergarment. I shouldn't say, I should go immediately to diaper,
but some sort of undergarment that could like silence it
and take care of it.
There should be, why not?
It's 2025, why can't we have that at this point?
Yeah, I don't get why it doesn't exist.
It should exist.
It feels like there should be some sort of sound.
We don't even.
And also just, you're on a plane and it smells like shit
and you're like, that's like some guy behind me
is like farting and just like letting out.
That drives me fucking nuts.
It's disgusting.
You're in a confined space.
That's just like, again, just be courteous
to your fellow human being.
Yes, and I'm saying like,
wouldn't it be helpful for that to exist
for that reason too?
I get what you're saying.
I think it's all like contextual.
It's like, you know.
Could they make airplane seats out of this material
so that it just absorbs all the parts?
That's a great idea.
Yeah.
Amelia hates that idea, but I think something like that.
I'm working on that for the chairs in here.
A little CPAP for your ass or something.
A CPAP.
Do you know what I'm saying?
It's sucking instead of blowing air out.
What it brings me to is that we've certainly, we've talked about it on the podcast that
they invented the pants for jacking off in.
And it's like, that's our priority.
Like, that's like, we're making J.O. pants.
There's no pants for jacking off?
Yeah, they're J.O. pants apparently.
But it's like, we're making that, but we're not making the fart trousers, which are more
universal, more useful.
It's like how we prioritize infrastructure in this country.
It's like we're doing the wrong things.
We should be building high-speed rail.
Yes.
And making fart pants.
Yeah.
Truly.
Yeah.
Because it's never what's good for everyone,
it's just what's good for yourself.
Exactly, yeah.
By the way, I wear the-
Jacking off.
Jacking off, right.
Jacking off is healthy, first of all. Second of all, I wear the- Jacking off. Jacking off, right.
Jacking off is healthy, first of all.
Second of all, I wear the jack off pants,
but I wear them because they're comfortable,
not because of the access you get to jacking off.
That's the jacking off part.
Yeah, the jacking off, I don't need the jacking off thing,
but they're- They're just cool pants.
They're very cool and they're very comfortable pants.
I like them.
Oh, wikes. Brun-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-un-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n more time to do all the things that make summer so special.

I like the ginger teriyaki salmon with roasted cabbage,
forbidden rice, sesame green beans and roasted onions.

Wow. That's right. I have a Helix mattress, Wags. I love it.
I've had it for a good seven years now.
I got the Moonlight Lux,
and I sleep like a baby every night.
Your sleep has improved since you switched to Helix.
It has, Wags.
It's like I'm sleeping on a cloud now.
Wow. I love it.
Wally and Irma, my cats love it.
My mom, when she visits town,
I'm a good boy and go sleep on the couch.
She loves it.
Everyone who sleeps on that mattress loves it.
Now Mitch, you and I both have issues with snoring.
I have back pain.
You get older, it's a little bit tougher
to sleep through the night or you're sleeping too hot.
HealX can help with all of these things.
Wise, let me tell you this.
I have a CPAP machine and I use my CPAP machine,
but I was never a back sleeper.
And with the CPAP, I I was never a back sleeper. Wow.
And with the CPAP I have to sleep on my back.
And you know what?
With my Helix Sleep mattress, it's not an issue because it's so comfortable.
I sleep on my back.
Mitch, wow.
Yeah, Wigz, wow is right.
Wow.
And you know what?
You know what's even better than sleeping on it?
How easy it is to get.
They ship it right to your door in a box.
You open it up, it's easy to assemble.
And you know what?
You know you're matched with the perfect mattress
because they got the Helix Sleep Quiz on their website.
You can't go wrong.
But the thing about it, the thing about your sleep
is that it influences your waking life.
It's such a huge part of being alive
and improved sleep can help improve your everyday life.
And when you've upgraded your sleep to a Helix mattress,
you're just that much more prepared for your day.
That's right, Wags.
I gotta get you on a Helix mattress.
Well, I mean, I'm sure that's impossible.
I can't imagine there's any way for anyone other than you
to get a Helix sleep mattress.

Bye. Bye.
Anyways, we should talk about burgers.
We should talk about burgers.
I, I, uh, uh, Andrea I'm curious, like, uh,
where are you on the How to Train Your Dragon franchise?
I've never seen any of the movies.
Not any of them?
No.
OK, I love the animated first.
I think I watched it.
I think I watched all of them.
I think I like all of them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I love the first one.
I've heard the first one in particular is great.
I just never got around to watching it.
I do like animation.
I will watch it at some point.
The live action one is going to be an impetus for me
to watch the animated versions.
Richard, where are you on How to Train Your Dragon?
I've never seen any of them.
Whoa.
I was just thinking, we can't have that.
You guys suggested this.
I didn't pick that for a start.
We just saw that it was happening,
and we were like, what's this fucking doing?
I thought it was like a big How to Train Your Dragon
thing going on over here.
Well, it is. There is the new movie coming out. And as such, like, anytime they do one of these tie-in movies, What's this fucking do it? I thought it was like a big How to Train Your Dragon thing going on over here.
Well, it is.
There is the new movie coming out.
And as such, like any time they do one of these tie-in menus,
we're curious about it whether or not
we're interested in the IP one way or the other.
I see.
But yeah, this one felt like it was
worth revisiting BK for the How to Train Your Dragon menu.
I like the dragon.
It's cute.
It's a cute dragon.
The dragon is very, it's a very cute dragon.
Which brings me to this question. Andrea, we had cute, it's a cute dragon. The dragon is very, it's a very cute dragon.
Which brings me to this question, Andrea,
we had you on previously for a Patreon episode
we did on the Doughboyz double called Creature Eater.
Yes, I remember.
Where we looked at a bunch of different creatures
from science fiction and fantasy
and decided whether or not we would eat them.
Yeah.
So my question for the room is,
would you eat Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon?
Yeah. Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon? I'm sure Toothless is going up on the screen.
Yeah, we're gonna pick a Toothless to look at here. Toothless. My issue with Toothless is that
Toothless has like cat eyes. Yeah. And for me, I couldn't, I love Wally and Ehrman,
it just reminds me a little too much of a cat. You're like, you're kind of anthropomorphizing him
a little bit, you're kind of humanizing him.
Well, I mean, like, isn't,
can he communicate with the dragon a little bit?
Like he can, right?
Yeah, he's doing some stuff.
Yeah. Yeah.
I think- There he is.
I don't think I would actually.
You would not.
I wouldn't because I feel like it would taste like,
I think he lives in the alligator family or crocodile.
Oh, sure.
And I feel like it would be,
the texture wouldn't be great.
I've eaten, I have eaten alligator before.
Me too.
It's not bad.
Yeah, that's what I was saying.
You're like, if he's like a gator,
I might be down.
Hey, I'm going to buy you tomorrow, Wags.
I bet you have some tasty eats. Yeah, there's, I'm staying down. Hey, I'm going to buy you tomorrow, Wags. I bet you have some tasty eats.
Yeah, there's, um, staying at this hotel, this, I'll talk about it later, but the guy there was, like, kind of odd, and he said that, like, uh, whatever.
Okay.
He was like, I don't want to get into it, but like, supposedly it's a thing that, like, if you stay at the hotel, like, you're supposed to suck him off beforehand.
What?
Oh, interesting.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But then he, I was like, can you send a picture of yourself? And then, like. This is like the concierge. He's like, you want to suck him off before. Oh, interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But then I was like, can you send a picture of yourself?
And then like.
This is like the concierge.
He's like, you want me to suck him off?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I just have a feeling, you know what I'm thinking.
Yeah.
Well, did you get a look at him?
Did you look at the picture?
Yeah, he sent me a picture of him.
What color was he?
He was green.
Oh boy, Mitch.
It was a gator.
We're gonna suck it.
Okay.
We have a long running joke of're gonna suck it. Okay. Ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha.
We have a long running joke of where we suck gators off.
Sorry.
Oh, I was like what?
I would not suck Toothless off, but.
How could you?
That's a child for crying out loud.
Toothless is a little kid.
But I feel like eating the meat of his species,
I think I would, I, in contextual context, I could enjoy that. Here's the deal, if someone was like, I've prepared dragon, and I feel like eating the meat of his species, I think I would, I, I, I, in contextual context,
I think I'd enjoy that.
I've prepared dragon, and I'm like,
shit, there's dragon here.
I think I would have to try a bite.
Yeah.
Mythical creature?
I think the belly part, too.
It's that's, yeah.
That would be nice.
I think the belly cut is pretty good.
I just, I feel like, I feel like if someone was,
it's that sort of thing of like,
hey, my friend got veal and you want to try a bite of it?
And I'm like, oh, maybe I'll try a bite of it.
Or if it's something that's served,
it's that sort of thing we've talked about before,
where it's like, the deed is already done here.
If this is going in the trash, otherwise I'll eat it.
But they were like, if I went to a restaurant
and it was like, there's dragon on the menu.
And I like looked in the kitchen,
I saw him in like a crate. I would say, no, I'm not,
I don't want, I can't do this.
You're envisioning like a lobster tank somewhere.
Yes. For dragon.
Yes, and I could.
Yeah, that would be, that would feel a little bit grim.
Well, what if it was, he was flying around?
Less so, I would, that sounds, no.
I thought it was the crate that was the issue.
No, no.
That's the worst.
It was a free range dragon.
You can pick him off with a crossbow?
Yeah, yeah.
No, no.
Wow.
My gator bay was so half assed.
I didn't even try to do it.
I liked it.
All right, it sucks.
I liked it.
You did great.
That was good.
You didn't even know what it was.
I didn't know.
I was like, you have to suck a guy off.
Yeah.
Yeah.
To stay there?
This is the Burger King How to Train Your Dragon menu.
This is officially our seventh BK episode, most recently
reviewed in 2022 with Gabrus and Adam Pally,
who we were talking about earlier,
ejected from the Golden Plate Club on that episode. Currently owned, as I mentioned, by restaurant brands international, which owns Tim Hortons, also Popeyes Firehouse Subs,
all the all under the same corporate ownership.
I love Popeyes.
Where do you, I do love Popeyes.
Yeah.
Popeyes is great.
I love.
Where do you, where does fried chicken like, like rank in your savory hierarchy?
Because that's like number one for me.
Maybe six?
Six.
That is such a, for you to think about it
and then just throw out six is so funny to me.
What is one through five?
It could be a lot.
Pizza?
Pizza's up there before fried chicken.
OK.
Yeah. Beef, Wow, okay. Yeah.
Beef, like steak, like burgers.
Steak is, I think, eight or nine.
Okay, wow, this is, I had no idea you knew.
Wait, what are candidates for number one?
Like, what are you thinking?
Burger.
Burger, wow, okay.
Maybe.
Wow.
And I guess some.
Burger one, but steak eight. Yeah. I understand, I understand. Okay. Maybe. Wow. And I guess some...
Burger one, but steak eight.
Yeah, I understand.
I understand.
They're different.
They're very different.
They are very different.
Meat versus so much other stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yes.
You're right, you're right, you're right.
Okay.
Uh...
What's like a piece of fish?
Is fish anywhere in there?
Think.
27.
I now need to know what two, three, four, and five are.
Are you more led towards land-based food?
Are you sort of a sea skeptic?
I, yeah, it's just fish.
Don't like shrimps or anything?
Oh, shrimp is up there.
OK.
Yeah, we'll do shrimp.
Shrimp would be?
Shrimp.
Shrimp eats fried chicken? Yeah, Okay. Yeah, we'll do shrimp. Shrimp would be. Shrimp.
Shrimp beats fried chicken?
Yeah, five.
Wow, five.
What about like a burrito?
Oh.
No, tacos?
Tacos, 10.
No, no, that's too high, 22.
22.
22.
22.
Burrito, burrito 23. Breakfast burrito. Okayrito 23.
Breakfast burrito.
OK.
8.
All right.
Still not above 6.
Mitch had recently a pretty hot take.
You're a bit of a breakfast burrito skeptic.
I think breakfast burritos aren't that good.
Whoa.
I think there's two overhyped.
I have a take on this.
Yeah.
That all burritos are breakfast burritos
if you eat them for breakfast.
That's a great point, Emma.
It doesn't really matter what's in it.
No, it matters.
And that would change everything because I love burritos.
All burritos.
Oh.
I love burritos, but breakfast burritos, I'm always like, eh.
I hate regular burritos.
Really?
Yeah, yeah.
Like, just have it be a bowl.
I mean this respectfully, too.
You are baffling.
Spaghetti or noodles? Like, just have it be a bowl. I mean this respectfully, too. You are baffling. Um, spaghetti or noodles, like, what, like, like, is,
is that above?
I'm trying to think of anything that's above.
Yes.
Asian type of noodles.
OK.
Maybe like two or one.
OK, all right.
Yeah.
What's your ideal, like, like, do you have an ideal dish there?
Like a pho.
Like a pho.
OK.
OK.
So pho, burgers, pho, both are beating
your number six of fried chicken.
Burgers, pho, blank, blank, shrimp, fried chicken.
1,000.
1,000.
1,000.
Barbecue, barbecue.
Okay, so barbecue beats fried chicken.
When you're saying barbecue,
like what kind of barbecue are you thinking?
Brisket. Okay, sure.
Something beef type of thing.
Is there much of a barbecue culture in Canada?
No, no.
We have just like Canadian bacon.
That's like our meat.
So is that a thing you got more into in the States?
A pea meal.
A pea meal sandwich I try to have,
but that's their Canadian.
Pea meal.
Pea meal.
Peameal sandwich.
Barbecue I got into because of Korean barbecue,
and then also the Texas barbecue's really good.
Yeah.
Yeah, and when I went to Austin, wow, that was really good.
So you'll go to a place and just be like,
mm, this is one of my favorite foods now.
Yeah.
Wow.
I kind of like that.
I do like that.
I think brisket, yeah, barbecue.
All right, so barbecue, all right, we almost got all of that. I think brisket, yeah. All right, so barbecue. We almost got all of them.
We're open-minded, yeah.
So burgers, noodles, barbecue, shrimp.
You're just missing one before fried chicken, basically.
Let's say, let me think.
Sushi.
There we go.
Yeah.
All right.
But you'll have sushi,
but you're maybe not as interested
in having a salmon full of-
Cooked fish is not-
Less into that.
Yeah.
What's your favorite sushi?
Ooh, like seared, a buri, pressed sushi.
Sure.
Yeah, with the sauce, with some sauce on it.
All right.
That's pretty good.
Yeah, that's up there for me.
Well, hey, speaking of seared,
we have the Dragon Flame Grilled Whopper.
The star of the show features a quarter pound
of flame grilled beef served on a red and orange
marbled bun colored with natural spices and vegetables
and then topped with a standard whopper toppings plus bacon.
Now here's the thing, as far as how-
I know I'm wearing one too,
but you look like a true fool in your Burger King.
Yeah.
What do you mean?
You look like a damn fool in your Burger King. Yeah. What's the, what do you mean? You look like a damn jamoke.
How so?
You just, you just, you just, you do.
You look like a fool, you look like an idiot.
Well you look like a fucking dunce.
Yours is all a scance.
It's not even facing forward.
Is that true?
Yeah.
Get your shit together.
It's crooked.
It's silly, you look silly in it.
You also look silly.
It's funny.
It's not a bad thing.
I'm wearing one also.
You look cooler than us.
Thank you.
Wow.
I think everyone looks great.
We're having fun.
Chibok is an OK word to say, correct?
I don't know.
I don't know the animal.
What does that mean?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, Amelia gives you the green light.
You're doing fine.
I think it means a dumb person.
Yeah.
Used to refer to coffee,
a blend of Java, and mocha?
No, that's not good.
Well, we're off to a bad start.
And also, I'm pretty sure she spelled
jamoke wrong.
So here's what I will say.
How would you spell it?
Hold on, jamoke. Okay. Jamoke wrong. So here's what I will say. How would you spell it?
Hold on, Jamoke.
OK, uh-oh.
Jamoke is an Italian-American slang
referring to a stupid or foolish person.
Oh, that's fine.
It's not to originate.
Those are fly.
Italians came up with it.
Maybe came from GMOPE.
Napoleon or Sicilian for same thing.
An idiot.
I'm saying you can't use that word.
Because it's Italian, I can't use it.
My mom was my mom said GMOPE and I think I got caught in my head.
She also know what else she said.
She said, look that up in your funk and wagonels.
That's what she said.
I love that.
What the fuck does that mean?
It's like a dictionary or some shit.
Your mom's great.
I didn't get to spend any real time with your mom
and with Courtney, your sister, up when we were in Boston.
My sister had a-
That sounds like a way to say curse words
without saying curse words.
Funk and Wagnos and Jamokes.
This is all the stuff she was saying.
She's getting older and saying just weird old shit now.
My mom would sometimes say H-E double hockey sticks.
Yeah.
Oh.
Look that up in your Funk and Wagnos.
It's pretty good. We should make that work.
My sister, I have a funny story about my sister is, Yeah. Oh. Look that up in your funk and Wagnalls is pretty good. That is pretty good, yeah. We should make that work.
My sister, I have a funny story about my sister is,
we did a big thing where we had a choir
and there was a keyboard that was played
during an episode, during the Boston show.
Yes, yeah.
And I said to my sister, I was like,
can you send me a picture of your keyboard?
Cause she has a keyboard.
And then she texted me a picture from work
of her computer keyboard.
I was like, Courtney, what the fuck do you think
I want to see your fucking computer keyboard for?
We're doing a tour, we need a computer keyboard.
I think that's a good bit.
So here's the thing about this Whopper.
First off, like I'm curious, Burger is possibly your number one overall food.
Yeah.
I'm not sure how much Burger King has a presence
north of the border.
Was Burger King a thing you had growing up?
Have you had it much in the States?
I have never had it in the States.
That was my first one, is the How to Train Your Dragon one.
This is your first time ever having Burger King?
In America. In America, okay good.
So you have it in Canada?
I was obsessed with it in Canada at one point.
Wait, really?
I would skip school to go get Burger King Whopper.
What was your regular order was a Whopper?
Yeah, I'd get a Whopper, yeah.
We don't condone that skipping school.
Don't skip school to get a Whopper.
You can get it after school hours.
We, you can definitely get Whoppers after school hours.
But I had to have it.
Yes.
I would skip school to go to the Pizza Hut buffet
with friends in high school.
I loved Pizza Hut growing up.
Wow.
Did they have the buffet in Vancouver?
No, we didn't have a buffet, but we had the huts,
the Pizza Hutts that are actual huts.
The dine-in experience. The dine-in huts, and Pizza Hut that are actual huts. The dine-in experience.
The dine-in huts, and then that was a really great time.
That was when my mom had a husband
and I had a stepdad and a stepsister.
I think I'm tying that memory to a Pizza Hut.
Right.
Yeah, that was when my family was complete.
So yeah.
I got off the train, I got had the train the other day and I saw
these two kids and they were like, they look like they were
like 11 or 12 these like two boys and they were carrying they
each they would they had a fucking Little Caesar's hot and
ready pizza and they each had a big soda from from ampm and I
was like, fuck those kids are about to have like the best
afternoon of like like like life never gets better than that.
So nice.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm going to 7-Eleven, getting a big drink.
I still love getting a big fucking drink.
Beef sticks.
Now I can't do it.
Now if I'm doing this, I'm ruining my day.
Yeah.
A big soda will ruin your day?
Yeah, if I get that, I have that much sugar
and that much caffeine, like in the afternoon.
What about a big zero?
Get a big zero soda.
You could get a big zero, but that's not the same.
Yeah.
It's not the same as when I had the metabolism
to take a fucking 64 ounce double gulp to the dome.
It is a sad thing with, just even with long COVID
where I'm like, is like drinking soda
just gonna like gunk up my system?
Do I like need to just be drinking water?
Which is probably the answer is yes.
The answer is yes.
Yeah.
It sucks, it sucks.
It sucks getting old, it's bad.
So you're-
I know.
It's fucking horrible.
So you used to love Burger King,
you're skipping school to go there.
You're getting the Whopper-
Your family's complete.
Your family's complete.
You're getting the Whopper.
Do you have any other favorite menu items?
Yeah. Would you regularly get a combo? You're getting fries, you're getting like do you have any other favorite menu items? Yeah.
Would you regularly get a combo?
You getting fries, you getting a soda?
I would get the fries,
but the fries weren't that memorable to me.
Right.
But I have like,
I have a core memory of eating a Whopper at the mall.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
And that memory was?
It was just that I was eating it
and being just very amazed
by the Whopper.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I have a core, it's a core memory.
I like want to make funny videos, but I also like do,
like I have like a Homer Simpson type memory
when I like think back, I'm like, I'm liking this.
Like that is like, I do have many moments like that,
that don't necessarily have to be tied to family
or friends just having a great fight.
It's tied to nothing.
Yeah.
It's tied to nothing.
It's tied to just, I'm having this Whopper,
and I remember riding the bus back home with my friend,
where I thought, I don't even need this friend here
with me right now.
Like, he's not adding anything to this.
I could have done this alone with the Whopper
and it would have been fine.
Yeah, yeah.
And I was kind of like, I can't wait to be home.
That's funny to think back on a memory
of a food you ate with a friend
and to erase the friend from that memory.
That guy?
Yeah, yeah.
It happened.
I don't need this friend here.
Yeah, and yeah.
Did he also have a Whopper with you?
You know what made me resent him in that memory?
He didn't enjoy it as much as I did.
The Whopper.
Oh, there you go.
Yeah, I think that's why, because he yucked
what I was very yung about.
You yucked your yum.
Yes, and so.
This is, Nick knows this.
Yeah, they still make a lot more sense now.
Yeah.
Nick knows this for me, but it is like,
I was very excited that you liked
the Boneless Buffalo Fingers from,
from, from, from.
Fowler House.
Fowler House, thank you Emma.
I was in such a great, I was in such a great movie.
I had like the fucking best night,
the tour was over, I had a fucking fantastic night's sleep.
I had like a single alcoholic beverage,
so it was like, my sleep was like not at all, you know,
like I just, like I wasn't hung over or anything.
My sleep wasn't interrupted.
I just got like nine continuous hours,
woke up feeling like a million bucks,
got to walk around the city, got to ride the train.
I was in such a great mindset and I go in there.
And I'm having those Buffalo Tendies
and I'm having some beers, some Brew Dogs with my mates.
I'm having the time of my life.
It was great.
It was a great day.
And for me, it was important that he liked the food
and that's in there.
I really wanted you to like it.
And Amelia, you didn't try-
I think in your defense,
I think it was more so important that like,
Gabris and I tried it with an open mind.
Sure, yeah.
Because you were like, you know,
you're maybe characterizing it like,
you would be mad if we didn't like it,
but that's not how it felt in the moment.
More, you just wanted us to experience it.
I wanted you to experience it,
and I was very happy that you liked it.
Yeah, it was hidden.
And then also later, Amelia, you came to,
you went- Pizzeria Regina.
Pizzeria Regina, and you did enjoy the Pizzeria Regina.
I loved it.
Yeah, we had a- It was so good.
We had a good time.
Yeah, the place was great.
Then you got some JP Licks as well.
Yes, that was delicious, yeah.
I'm so glad you got it.
Yeah, me and Gabris got some MCC mint chocolate chip.
Yeah, you didn't like that it was white.
The mint chocolate is white.
Oh, Gabris didn't like that it was white.
That was the issue, right?
He likes it dyed.
He likes it dyed green.
He likes it dyed green.
I like it white.
White.
Yeah, that's what I was saying.
White.
And then what did you get?
You got a peanut butter sundae or some shit, right?
That was Gabris.
Gabris, that was fantastic.
Anyways, it was a good trip,
but it matters to me when people,
I want them to like the food that I like.
And even I'm so specific when we go to Regina
and I like have food in the way I order it.
And in fact, the wise, we got a cheese pizza
and we got a large cheese pizza.
And it was a little undercooked.
But the other ones with toppings on, I asked for them.
Well done.
And they were great.
But if you were there, I would have been mad.
You're watching Jemmy lick one of her two buttholes.
Oh, she licked my finger.
It's a real eye drop.
Oh.
My finger smells like Jemmy's butthole. Oh!
That's great timing.
Wipe it off.
She was like, oh yeah, you're talking about me
licking my butt.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
So you love the Whopper.
You have history of the Whopper.
You're obsessed with the Whopper.
But I haven't had it since.
You haven't had it since.
High school.
Which was like 10 years ago.
Whopper is a fun,
cause it's also like, look at that Whopper.
Whopper.
Something big. Whopper. Yeah. Judge Whopper. I think since that Whopper I a fun name, because it's also like, look at that Whopper, it's something big. Whopper. Judge Whopper.
I think since that Whopper I had at the mall,
I was like, you know what?
I don't need anymore.
You're done with them at that point.
That's enough.
You just walked away.
Hold on, what?
What are your core memories?
And then you're just done?
I guess you can't top it.
Because I overdid it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think sometimes I overdo it, and I had two Whoppers,
I think many days in a row, I had two whoppers a day.
And then I was like, that's enough.
In one meal?
Yeah.
Wow.
I was in high school.
Yeah, sure.
And I was playing sports.
So you're taking down two whoppers
and then at a certain point you're just like,
you know what? That's enough.
Yeah, I chased this high for too long.
That was like me with cactus cooler.
I got really into cactus, and I was drinking it
every day.
And then at a certain point, I was just like,
I've had enough of these.
It's like playing a song so many times
until you start to feel numb to it, you know?
That's what I felt.
So this was a good comeback from that.
So as a comeback.
I just recently played out the new Kanye track.
I listened to it way too many times now.
So as the comeback of the Whopper,
the return of the Whopper for you,
how was the dragon flame grilled Whopper hitting?
It was good.
You liked it.
It was good.
It was less flavorful than I would want
because of how colorful it was, you know?
You more mean that like your taste buds weren't matching
what your eye was doing.
Yeah, because for something to be so orange and red.
Yeah, red and orange marbled bun.
I want, yeah, I want the taste to be, to match that.
To me, it just tasted like bun.
There was purely an aesthetic difference.
It did not affect the flavor at all.
I would, so I got, we were talking about doing Burger King.
We didn't know if you would want to do it.
We didn't know how to core memory.
We had no idea you had a core memory attached to it.
So Saturday night, I was like, are we doing Burger King
this week?
And I had to record a podcast story today.
I was like, I'm going to be good and not get Burger King
the day we do it.
And Saturday night, I just wanted, I wasn't craving a burger. So Saturday night, I was like, I'm gonna be good and not get Burger King the day we do it. And Saturday night I just wanted,
I wasn't craving a burger.
So Saturday night I opened up the Burger King app,
I said, we're gonna do it, and Millie said,
hey, if we don't do it, you get Burger King for the night.
Which turned out to be not a good thing
because I ordered it from the app
and from the time it left the restaurant,
when you're tracking it on the app.
Which I do just think this is like a thing
that just doesn't work with these delivery services
because, like, they're going to pick up, like,
multiple orders from...
I should have gone and got it myself.
I was in the house, it was 9 p.m.,
I was just like, I'm just going to order it here.
What you did was defensible,
but again, this is where we're dealing with antitentification.
It's like they figured out how to min-max
their profit margin on these delivery systems,
and those involve people picking up multiple orders
from multiple locations and dropping off
multiple people.
And where you are in that queue could mean
that what happens is what happened to you that night.
Which was a 45 minutes.
45 minutes.
From one leperon till it got to me,
it was 45 minutes.
And like the ice cream I got,
cause I got everything from the meal was melted.
The like the drink, which I, when from the meal, was melted, the drink,
which, when you were trying to get rid of your drink,
I brought it in.
Oh, this is mine, thank you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I'll have it.
I kind of want to try it.
Can I try a sip of one of your guys' drinks?
Here, let me, Andrew's handing it over to you.
Let me run down the whole menu,
because I mentioned the-
I care if I use your straw.
No, please.
I mentioned the Dragon Flame Grilled Whopper.
We also got the fiery dragon mozzarella fries,
the soaring strawberry lemonade,
which Mitch was just sipping right now,
and the Vikings chocolate sundae.
But yeah, let's start with the whopper.
I agree that you want the bun to have some sort of kick
to it, something distinct flavor-wise,
and it doesn't match that at all.
All you're getting is a whopper with bacon
that's got a different colored bun.
And so that reminds me kind of like the-
And the seeds on the, you can kind of taste the,
not sesame seeds, but what's it called?
What are the-
Caraway seeds?
Is that what they are?
They're not poppy seeds.
Are they not poppy seeds?
They're black sesame?
Yeah, they're just black sesame.
Oh, maybe they are black sesame.
I think they're just black sesame.
Yeah, yeah.
And those are, you can kind of taste them, I guess.
I don't know.
Are they all that distinct flavor-wise
from regular sesame seeds?
And here's the other issue.
Which are on a whopper.
The actual whopper bun is better.
It's kind of like, this one is like a little bit more,
like a firmer.
Yeah, it's a little more processed,
so it's a different texture.
So actually, you're right, Mitch.
That's the difference you were getting.
We were talking about texture earlier.
The texture is not as good.
Yeah.
It tastes just like a bun, but it's like a thicker,
you know, less spongy bun.
Feels more foamy.
Right.
Yes, yeah.
And the burger, like, it's that funny thing
when I ate it Saturday night and then ate it again today.
I went wild today.
I'm on weight loss meds and I still went wild today.
I went crazy.
I texted Amelia, I was like, where are you?
Because I was coming from this other podcast
and she was like, I'm about to pick up Burger King.
I was like, forget my order,
I'm gonna go get my own order.
And I got here early and I was so hungry.
But my issue with the Whopper when I got here early and I just wanted to, I was so hungry. Yeah. But my issue with the Whopper when I got here
and I tried it at home too, but it was 40 minutes
and it sucked and I barely ate any of it.
Yeah.
Was that it doesn't even really taste like a Whopper to me.
It just tastes like a weird,
it tastes like a weird Burger King item that's not,
like the Whopper has a classic taste to me
and it doesn't have that classic taste.
I weirdly agree with you,
but I can't quite put my finger on what it is.
Me neither.
I don't know what it is either.
Maybe it's the bacon.
I think the bacon being in it is a part of it,
and the bun being different.
But like, is there no onions or something?
There feels like there's something missing.
No, all the- There are onions.
Yeah, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, pickles, ketchup,
and mayo are all included by default, as on a Whopper.
Yeah, I don't know.
It could also just be like, look,
you eat with your eyes first,
and it's just kind of disorienting,
and it doesn't really resemble a Whopper,
and you're expecting something else,
so you're trying to have the memory of a Whopper
as you're eating it, but it doesn't quite click.
I don't know.
I found it pretty unsatisfying, honestly.
Me too.
Which is why today,
when I was, before I got here,
my order was I got that Dragon Whopper again,
and then I got a Whopper with cheese meal.
Wow, as a control group.
As a control group, and then also I got a cheeseburger
as a third control group.
I ate the cheeseburger in the car.
The cheeseburger is actually sadly disappointing
because I was like, I remember eating the cheeseburgers
when I was younger and they have like a flame,
like the thing you like about Burger King's
like the flame grilled taste.
And it just wasn't hitting the way I wanted it to hit.
It was okay.
But when I got here and I took a few bites of that,
the Dragon Whopper,
and then I was eating the Control Whopper,
the Control Whopper was pretty damn good.
And I was like, hey,
it's up there with the Big Mac and everything for a reason.
It is still pretty damn good. You know what I mean? You can say what you want about Burger
King, but the Whopper is good, right?
I love the Whopper.
And like the taste of like just the proportions of it and like the mayo and the ketchup and
like all the ingredients. It's just like, it works well together in this, in this new
sandwich just didn't have any of the equation was off.
Did the Dragon have cheese in it? Yes. Okay. I just didn't have any of, the equation was off. Did the dragon one have cheese in it?
Yes.
Okay, I just don't remember.
Yeah, it's weirdly bland.
I don't know, yeah.
And it's a Whopper, and I like,
and I don't think that the Whopper is bland.
I like, I love the taste of the Whopper,
and I just wasn't giving that.
I know.
It's weird.
I kind of want, like, I'm curious, Andrew,
have you experienced this?
I feel like with the way my individual
dragon flame grill Whopper was prepared,
it was a little saucier than normal. I feel like it had some extra cond Dragon Flame Grill Whopper was prepared,
it was a little saucier than normal.
I feel like it had some extra condiments.
I wonder if they just kind of slathered it together a little,
or just like whoever was assembling this particular burger
had a heavy hand.
Me too, mine was very saucy.
It was dripping out in a way that usually I like,
but I didn't like it on this one.
No, it kind of overwhelmed everything.
Anyway, what I did really like
were the fiery dragon mozzarella
fries.
Those were our buddy Matt Singer, you know,
reviewed this menu as well and was telling me
this is the highlight.
And I fully agree.
I'll read the copy here.
In addition to bringing the flame,
BK is bringing the heat with fiery dragon mozzarella fries
featuring melty mozzarella cheese, peppers,
and fiery Calabrian chili pepper fries.
In addition to bringing the flame,
BK is bringing the heat? Is that what the copy chili. In addition to bringing the flame, if BK is bringing the heat?
Is that what the comment is?
In addition to bringing the flame,
BK is bringing the heat.
That doesn't make any sense.
Do they flame broil their burger?
They flame broil, I think that's what they're referencing.
That's what they're referencing.
But they both are heat.
I know.
Get me in that room.
I'll punch that up.
Yeah.
The incitification, they don't care anymore.
They're like, just put flame and heat,
fucking I don't give a shit.
Like, fucking do it.
Melty mozzarella cheese, peppers,
and fire, flavoring, chili pepper breading
for the perfect fiery snack served
in a one of a kind, toothless inspired carton.
It also comes with a zesty ranch sauce.
I like the sauce.
Love the sauce.
Yeah. The sauce is great. It's a good sauce. And I'm sauce. Love the sauce. Yeah. The sauce is great.
It's a good sauce.
And I'm a bit of a heat seeker.
I thought that these had some real kick to them.
Like they weren't super spicy.
There certainly was no spice on the Dragon Framed Glued Wobber.
Yes.
On Saturday night, I got the entire meal on Saturday night.
And the mozzarella sticks were not spicy at all.
And I questioned whether they even
were the spicy mozzarella sticks.
Right.
And I didn't get the ranch.
I didn't get the spicy ranch.
So I tried that spicy ranch for the first time here today.
And I was like, oh, these have kicked them.
I said that to you.
I was like, for a fast food item,
these are pretty spicy.
You had complete bullshit on Saturday. It was, fuck, it I said that to you. I was like, for a fast food item, these are pretty spicy. You had complete bullshit on Saturday.
It was, fuck, it sucked.
Oh my god. Saturday fucking sucked.
It was really, really bad.
So I had to redo it today.
It was, it was- Yeah, I liked the mozzarella sticks.
The mozzarella sticks were good.
They were great. The sauce, it was good.
They were good.
And mozzarella sticks, a fast food mozzarella stick
is not easy to do, so.
Yeah, I know, I've never seen it.
Yeah, yeah. Like fast food wise. Arby's will do them occasionally, so. Yeah, I know, I've never seen it. Yeah, yeah. Like, fast food wise.
Arby's will do them occasionally,
but also I think the ranch dipping sauce,
because so often they'll give you a marinara dipping sauce
and it tastes not good.
Yeah.
It tastes like, what is the herb that it tastes like?
All the, uh.
Oregano?
Yeah, it's like a very heavy oregano taste.
I would generally like a marinara dipping sauce
with a proper mozzarella stick, but I think with this one, it would have like a marinara dipping sauce with a proper mozzarella stick.
But I think with this one,
it would have felt a little asynchronous
because they're going for a spicy kick.
I think the Zesty Ranch was the right kick.
You do get what I'm saying when I just say you look like a...
You just look foolish saying things like that in the hat.
I'm sorry, it's just the truth.
I don't get what you're saying
because you're wearing the fucking hat too. I know
House as much
But just when you sit up and you're like, I actually do like a mariner with the hat on you look like a fucking You look like a fucking idiot. I'm sorry and I know I do too. Is it cuz I've ever I've con over head height now
Careful orb is watching.
I-whatever.
I think I'm doing fine. We're all wearing the hat.
You're doing great! We're all wearing the hat.
Just for one reason, you especially look like such a fucking idiot with the hat on. I'm not trying to be mean.
You especially look like such a fucking idiot with the hat on I'm not trying to be mean
Maybe it's because I'm dumber remember I'm the dumb guy so the hat on me doesn't have the same effect as it has on you mmm. It could be that yeah
Yeah, you're an egghead right it's a contrast. Yeah
No, I don't think it's mean
Pretty normal thing to say.
You look like a fucking idiot with your horns sticking out.
You look like a fucking idiot.
I think it's neutral.
Yeah, it is.
It's not that bad.
The Soaring Strawberry Lemonade.
This is a sort of new heights in Quench Your Thirst
for Adventure with all new Soaring Strawberry Lemonade.
That's a drink to me, baby.
This is tasty. It's a little sweet for me. It's a little too sweet. It is lemonade. That's a drink to me, baby. This is tasty.
It's a little sweet for me.
It's a little too sweet.
It is sweet, it's a little too sweet, but it is tasty.
But that's hitting you with flavor.
That's like the Whopper is not hitting you with any flavor.
That's true.
This is something, give me something.
And I do taste strawberry.
Yes, yeah, 100%.
Well, yeah, it has a, I think it has,
it maybe has a strawberry compote
that it is blended up with,
although that's not in the copy here.
I think that-
Are you taking the train home today?
I'll pay you $100 if you wear that hat on the train.
$100?
$100?
If you wear this hat from here till when you got home,
I think I could give you a hundred bucks.
Whoa.
Do you want him to like FaceTime you the whole time?
I think we would need some sort of visual proof.
Okay, I'll think about it.
All right.
It might also matter what time we get out of here.
Dead faced with just the sat-up.
I also would feel so bad if they were like,
a man was shot and killed on the train.
I mean, based on my typical LA Metro experience,
me wearing a Burger King, how to train your dragon,
crown in an individual train car,
I'd be like the sixth craziest person there.
You wouldn't be that high above.
I wouldn't really stand out.
Is this a January 6th crossover?
These...
It's a budget, uh, Viking man.
I think this, this is my issue.
I do think the lemonade is good.
In terms of theming, all we've done is affixed the word
or prefixed the word soaring onto strawberry lemonade.
Like what about this says the how to train your dragon IP
I guess that it's got the the cup the cup. Yeah, but this again again red. It's it's
Going for red going for red, but again, we're talking about things getting shitty here like remember we get to get collectible cups
Yeah, well, I agree anymore. Just had a print on this disposable landfill
Movie theaters you get like a bucket or something.
Those fucking suck though.
A lot of those are like bad quality.
They are bad.
No, they're bad.
They're bad.
It's bad.
Make a good quality one.
I agree.
They should make a good quality bucket.
With a dragon with a toothless on top.
That's that.
See, they do sometimes do stuff like that.
And those ones are decent.
But a lot of times just a metal bucket that sucks.
Yeah, a lot of them are really, and they're poorly made.
That's the other thing.
They're just really cheaply manufactured.
We also got the, anyway, I do think that's a drink.
I do think it is tasty.
And it's not a thing I would regularly get
just because I can't do things that sweet anymore,
and I could not finish one of those.
But I think, like, I think if I was a kid, I would love that.
So I'll be positive. Hum and bird mode, I love that. I it's, it's, I think if I was a kid, I would love that. So I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll be positive.
I'm in bird mode.
I love that.
I want more of it.
That's, that's fantastic.
As far as, as far as the sweet side goes,
the Vikings chocolate sundae.
Finish the adventure with Vikings chocolate sundae.
I get just no effort there.
Sure.
Chocolate Vikings chocolate sundae.
I really do not think that's bad.
I agree.
They were at the end of their meeting.
Yeah. Just say Vikings, Chugmas.
So there's Vikings.
Fucking, I don't care.
We want to go home.
This poor Burger King employee seems like he has a rough life.
So is there Vikings are in the movie, I guess, right?
Yeah, it's like Vikings and dragons.
That's the horns on the crowns.
Oh, I thought they were dragon horns, I had no idea.
No, if you're a kid in the movie,
you get a dragon eventually.
Oh.
You get paired with a dragon.
It's like an Avatar situation.
Yeah. Okay.
All right, cool.
But they're Vikings, they have hats.
I might see this just because it's,
or wait, it's not a Disney movie, right a Disney, it's not a Disney movie, right?
No, it's not a Disney.
All right, so for that reason,
I might see the live action,
How to Train Your Dragon movie,
but I'm so sick of like animated to live action remakes
that I can't care ever.
I agree, I think they're not going away
because they seem to be incredibly profitable.
Are they?
I feel like some, I mean, Lilo and Stitch was huge,
but then- Absolutely fucking smash.
But then Snow White was a, I mean,
you know that I was protesting it,
but Snow White was a bomb.
There's like so many that have not worked.
I think that How to Train Your Dragon live action,
like it feels like that's gonna be a blockbuster.
We'll see.
Yeah, it does feel like it's gonna be big.
I also think that's just like,
again, you know this bitch as well as I,
like Hollywood is so fucking lazy
that the easiest thing they can do
is mine their own catalog.
They're like, hey, we already own this.
Hey, I actually remember this being made in my lifetime
because I'm so fucking,
I'm an executive of one of these companies.
I have no imagination.
So I can't conceive of even something that,
like I don't already have one of these companies. I have no imagination. So I can't conceive of even something that
I don't already have an existing connection to.
So it's like, we can take this thing that I already know
and then we can just make this again
and make a similar amount of money.
It's like, because it's so unimaginative,
that's why it's not going away.
But I also think that this one,
there's the new How to Train Your Dragon land, right?
At the new Orlando park.
So I think they're really leaning into this IP.
And I think that's partly why it'll be so successful.
Anyway, I could see myself being dragon-pilled.
All that said, I'm gonna watch all these movies
and I'm going to watch the live action movie.
The dragon itself is cute,
like we were saying it's a very cute dragon.
He's a cute dragon.
The Viking's Chocolate Sunday, however,
is a vanilla soft serve with Hershey's syrup
and black and green cookie crumbles.
We were talking about green versus white when we're talking
about mint chip earlier.
I see green.
I'm like, OK, this is going to have a little bit
of a minty character to it.
No.
No.
It's just a green chocolate.
What are we doing?
It's just green chocolate?
Yeah, it's not mint.
I thought it was nuts.
It's green cookie. Oh. it was nuts. It's green cooking.
Oh.
Oh.
Yeah.
Why green?
I don't know.
For dragon, I think.
I think the dragon is black.
The dragon is black.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Look, I'm not defending it.
I'm just telling you what I think
what the thought process was.
Is it like grass?
Like for?
Do the dragons eat grass in the movie?
Yeah, they don't.
I've never seen them eat food on the movie.
Wait, so what is the name of the product again?
It's a Viking?
Vikings Chocolate Sundae.
I don't know.
What does the description say?
Is there any clue here?
I read the description.
Finish the adventure with Vikings Chocolate Sundae,
a delicious sweet treat featuring a vanilla soft serve
with Hershey's chocolate syrup
and black and green cookie crumbles.
Black and green.
I don't really get what the tie is.
Maybe it's dirt and grass.
Maybe it's dirt and grass.
It might be dirt and grass.
Because I guess you think about that when
you think about a dragon.
Sure.
I mean, you're not wrong.
If that's what we're going for, then I'm still miffed. it still feels like an A to C to me. I'm miffed too
It's not good. The Google overview just says that the green crumble crumbles
Don't specifically represent Vikings but add a whimsical touch inspired by the movie's dragon theme and green mossy nature to the island where the Vikings are featured
So it is grass. So you're right. It's fucking grass
I don't like that it's gray. You're right.. It's fucking grass. I don't like that it's grass.
You're right.
I don't like that.
I don't like it.
Yeah, I was saying that as like a ridiculous thing.
Also, I just want to know that you said cumbles, by the way.
Cumbles?
Or magnetic.
The fact that it is grass, which that pisses me off.
That pisses me off.
That pisses me off.
Is that what it's supposed to be?
It's grass?
It's like represents the island, the grass mossy nature
of the island where they live.
That is fucking, that is pretty stupid.
I like the sundae though, it's good.
The sundae is, it's a very basic sundae,
but it is kind of good.
I wanted more chocolate sauce.
Oh, mine had a lot of chocolate sauce,
but mine was also melted and kind of a mess.
But it was like, oh, this is like good ice cream
and Hershey's syrup and little cookies.
So I didn't think it was bad.
Why?
Are you still mint?
I'm trying to get some more info on what exactly
the green combo is supposed to be.
Were you, but again, we're turning to something
we were talking about earlier.
You're a bit of an ice cream skeptic. Yeah. But this ice cream, was it because of all the texture Okay. Were you, but again, we're turning to something we talked about earlier.
You're a bit of an ice cream skeptic.
Yeah.
But this ice cream, was it because of all the texture variations?
Yeah, I like the grass.
I like the grass.
Moss, the mossy grass.
And I like, I did like the texture of the nuts.
I like, yeah.
I used to work at Dairy Queen, you know.
Did you really?
Yeah.
Do we ever talk about that on your last episode? I don't know. Wow.
I don't know.
Which Dairy Queen did you work at?
I worked at a Chillin' Grill.
Okay, so this is a place that has the hot menu.
Yes.
Cause they don't all, some of them are treat centers
and they just have the- I did full menu.
Wow.
Yeah, everything.
Did you have a, like-
And we had cakes.
Was this where you were in school at the time?
Yeah, I was 15.
What got you into like,
what made you choose Dairy Queen?
I heard they would hire 15 year olds.
So, not a lot of places would.
Yeah, sure.
So then I went, yeah, good job there.
Did you have a favorite item from Dairy Queen,
either to eat or to make?
To eat, I liked making the banana split.
That was fun. That's fun.
That seems fun to me.
Yeah, yeah.
But I liked eating the peanut parfait.
Oh yeah, that's a great one.
Oh yeah, the Buster Parfait.
Yes, peanut Buster Parfait.
I think I needed a little nut, like a little grass,
a little mossy texture to it.
That makes sense, a little crunch.
To enjoy the ice cream.
Ice cream by itself pissed me off.
Wow. But some of it has got some mix-ins, it's maybe got something to it. That makes sense, a little crunch. To enjoy the ice cream. Ice cream by itself pissed me off.
Wow.
But some of it has got some mix-ins.
It's maybe got something to it.
I need a texture.
You don't want it just to be smooth.
Otherwise, it's just liquid.
Yeah.
Did the term yas queen, did that
exist when you worked at Dairy Queen?
No.
Yeah, because it would have been fun.
That would be fun if you worked there and that term existed.
That's annoying to me that it didn't.
Yeah, that sucks.
That kind of, ugh. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry not to.
Angry.
Diminish your experience there.
It's diminished.
Here's my question as a Dairy Queen veteran.
Yeah.
Like, the thing that to me as a showstopper from a customer
standpoint is when they take that blizzard
and they turn that sumbitch upside down,
you get to do that?
I did that every time.
I did it every time.
Can you be honest with you?
Yeah.
Did it ever come out?
I was about to say.
So one time I made a blizzard and it poked through the cup.
So I had to double cup it.
And I forget that.
I forgot I double cupped it.
And then I did that and it just plopped.
To the floor. To the floor to the floor
oh my gosh and I was like oh shit and and and then I made another one I guess
it's not that great of a story no but it popped out the customer react she's like
oh she screamed she's like why would you do? And I don't know if it was her first time there,
because it did seem bizarre for me to do that.
Oh, sure.
Just tip it upside down.
Oh, she didn't know that you were doing the classic cuts.
Yeah, maybe she didn't.
Maybe it was her first time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I would be truly disoriented.
Yeah, because she was shocked that she was couldn't.
I can tell.
So she thought you were just a weirdo who was like throwing
her thing on the ground.
Yeah, like, fuck you. Yeah. No, but it was. She was couldn't I can tell you were just a weirdo who was like
That way cuz she was so in shock and then and then the second time I made it again I did it again. I think she was like, why would you do that again? Don't do it
It's a good time I would be happy to get a new one
Seeing that you went through the cup. I would secretly be happy to have that didn't go through the cup as well
I don't know why I didn't just make a new one. Sure. Yeah, actually, that's a great question. You should have
I was one of those days where I was like, yeah, I'm trying to get a whopper
No, but I started to tip them very half half ass
No, but I started to tip them very half-ass. Like, I feel like I was taking it for granted, maybe, doing that,
because I feel like some people were disappointed at how little I tipped it.
I didn't even realize it was a thing that they...
You have to do it.
Are you supposed to do it?
It's company policy.
Oh my god, is it really?
Yeah, you have to do it.
To prove that it's thick enough to withstand
an upside down moment.
I love it.
I think it's, I love that you do it.
I know that you love it.
I think it's great.
Yeah, it is fun.
If they didn't do it, I'd be like,
hey, can you do it?
Can you do it?
What if I, what if?
You in line with your fucking
how to turn a dragon around.
What if it flipped out? What if it dropped? I your fucking how to turn a dragon crown? Hahaha
What if it flipped out? What if it dropped?
I think it would get scared.
You would get scared.
And be like, ah!
Just like the lady.
Yeah, I think I would.
And do you think you would ask for a new one or do you think you would be running away?
Hahaha
I could see myself leaving.
Oh! You wouldn't wait for me to make a new one.
That would be so weird. Like, what just happened?
Yeah.
You're like, that's not supposed to happen.
Yeah.
That guy got scared and he left.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh.
Well, look, a blizzard is a billion times
better than this treat.
This is a small, fun treat.
Yeah.
I thought it was OK.
I just, I like.
It's fine.
I don't know.
I thought it was really half-assed.
I looked up our Buddy Matt Singer's screen crush I don't know. I thought it was really half-assed.
I looked up our Buddy Matt Singer's Screen Crush article
on how to train your dragon men.
You just see if there's any more context on the Sunday.
And I'll just read a little bit of his.
Uh, stock vanilla ice cream in a stock plastic cup
with a stock drizzle of chocolate syrup and some cookie dust.
What makes it a Viking Sunday?
I'm not even sure why they made the cookie topping green. I guess the Vikings island was sort of mossy.
So again, it's the same sort of thought process.
But you're having to do that as a consumer of like what?
You're having to work on their behalf
to justify the connection.
I can't believe you were right.
Because when you were like, it's like dirt and grass.
I was like, OK.
I didn't want to be right.
And you are right.
You were right. And I remember eating it being like, what's like dirt and grass. I was like, OK. I didn't want to be right. And you were right. You were right.
And I remember eating it being like, what
is this shit on top of this?
I thought it was pepper or something.
It looked like pepper.
And then I was like, did someone drop pepper on this by accident?
And did they give me a pepper?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm like, did they give me a pepper one?
And then I wanted to try it. So I tried it.
And I was like, oh no, it's like crumbled, I think.
And I was like, oh, it's green.
Why is it green?
Why?
I just think about it.
If I went on any podcast in the world
and I got an ice cream, I was like,
I think they spilled pepper on it.
I would be like, hey, is there pepper on this?
Like, what is, what are you guys giving me? I just ate it. That's so kind of you to still eat the ice cream. I was like, hey, is there pepper on this? Like, what are you guys giving me?
That's so kind of you to still eat the ice cream.
I was like, it's fine.
I'll eat around the pepper.
But then at one point, I was eating around the pepper.
And then at one point, I was like, I'll try some of it.
And then I had it.
I was like, oh, it's not pepper.
Yeah.
Oh, boy.
Yeah, and that's one of the better,
I honestly think that was one of the better items.
The strawberry lemonade and that,
oh, the mozzarella sticks you liked a lot.
It was the most, it's funny, I think the big-
It's the most tenuous connection
to how to train your dragon.
I think the big let down though is that
the Whopper just is not, is just kind of nothing.
The Whopper, which is the star of the show,
is just kind of a nothing.
["The Big Game Show Theme"]
We should get to our final thoughts
on this particular LTO.
So, Andrea, you've done the show before,
but we'll each go around, we'll give our closing argument
on the Burger King, How to Train Your Dragon menu,
and ended it
by giving a score from zero to five forks.
We begin with our guests, your thoughts, your fork score for the How to Train Your Dragon
menu.
Okay.
I believe it overall, overall remarks on this.
It's forgettable.
Yeah.
Forgettable. Yeah forgettable, but I
Enjoy the colors
You know, they're fun. They are
fun
Not enough texture
Like the Sunday could use more chocolate. I mean, okay. Oh
Everything was almost there. Yeah. But not quite. Yeah.
And so I would maybe give it 2.5.
Two forks, two tines.
Yeah.
Right in the middle.
So are we judging this on how to train your ragged meal?
If you wanna give a Burger King fork score,
canonically you can as well,
but usually when we do these tie-in menus or these special limited time offerings,
we will do a score for that particularly.
I think, alright, good, because now that changes, that really changes, drastically changes my Fork score.
Yeah.
It's one of these things that we do when, it's our first day backwikes, seeing it, it doesn't
even seem that long.
It hasn't been that long.
It hasn't been that long.
It's just, it's one of those days where you do it and it's disappointing and because we
have a fun guest, we have a good conversation that saves everything.
But like, it's just like, what are we doing here?
You know what I mean?
It's one of those situations of like, I should fall back on whatever, some other job,
and not do, we shouldn't do the podcast anymore.
We should pull, we should end, we should do a,
we should pull a Marin and end all this.
God, what an inspiration from Marin.
Marin, the first time you've inspired me
is by ending your podcast.
I can do that, that's an option.
It's so nice to end the podcast and do whatever else.
I don't know what else.
What are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do?
We're not really equipped for anything.
Bathroom attendance, I have no idea.
I mean, we couldn't even do that.
I do a bad job of it.
Yeah, that's a good job.
You can't make the bathroom smell worse.
That's a great point.
I also was just thinking,
I spend a lot of time in bathrooms.
There's bathroom attendants that do great jobs
and I wouldn't do that.
It just, it would be a good place to work.
You got distracted by Jimmy.
Jimmy got up to get some steps in.
A good bathroom attendant, imagine if headgum,
well, you know what?
Speaking of underwear or a blanket or underwear that can conceal smell or sound, you can't even get that here with the headgum, well, you know what? Speaking of underwear or a blanket or underwear
that can conceal smell or sound, you can't even
get that here at the headgum, because you
can hear everything that happens in the fucking bathroom
when you're in the fucking bathroom.
The headgum echo toilet.
The fucking echo toilet drives me nuts.
What's she doing today?
Scratching face.
You.
I, it's just one of those things that you're like, What's she doing today? Scratching face. Yeah.
It's just one of those things that you're like, this is not, this isn't fun.
This is not, this is no fun.
And do kids think this is fun?
I don't, I can't, it's not big enough, I feel like.
I guess maybe if they saw an orange burger,
but like kids don't eat Whoppers.
No. That's the other issue is that it's-
Too big for them.
It's too big for a fucking kid.
It's gigantic.
So for that reason, for the tie-in,
god, one and a half forks?
Wow.
I mean, not that great.
Oh, damn, the mozzarella sticks maybe move it.
And they were spicy.
There was something there. Yeah.
So maybe that moves up to two.
So you're two?
You're two forks?
I was 2.5 but I feel like I'm being generous.
Two, somewhere in the two to 2.5 range is fair.
So I'll go two forks.
You'll go two forks.
For Burger King itself, flags, I don't know.
We've gone all over the place.
We've said BK is back.
BK is back.
I think in my experiences in the city,
you know, with the city Burger Kings,
I think that they haven't been great.
And like I said, the Glendale test, the Burbank test.
You're talking about going to like the LA's X-Herbs
where you're more likely to get a better individual franchise.
We were saying, yeah, it's that sort of thing of like,
it's funny to think of the Burbank Burger King being more
mum and pop or whatever.
Mum and pop.
But the one that I went to, the two I visited in this last week
were bad, and I'm going to go 3.75 forks out of the Golden
Play Club for me. For Burger King.
Yeah.
In general, yeah.
I think Burger King might still be a four-forker for me
overall, like at large.
I just, first off,
I like that they have maintained the Impossible Whopper
as a staple of their menu,
when so many of these other chains
have completely discontinued their Beyond or Impossible
or Meat Alternative options.
Burger King is like, no, the Impossible Whopper
is here to stay.
And I also think it's the best one of the fake meat,
like fast food burgers.
The Impossible Whopper is a Whopper.
It absolutely gives me what I want from that menu item
just with less meat.
A little bit of an annoyance,
and it's certainly a thing that I checked out with this one
and it persists with Burger King's app.
You can't substitute an Impossible Whopper patty
on other sandwiches.
You can do it in store.
You can ask them to do it,
but you can't on the app say like,
make me the Dragon Flame Grilled Whopper without the bacon and with an impossible patty.
So I could, cause you know,
I just don't feel like eating the beef, I don't need it.
But you're not allowed to do that.
So that's a little bit of annoyance.
That would be a nice thing for them to rectify.
But I like that Burger King maintains
the existence of the impossible whopper.
The dragon flame grilled whopper
I thought was pretty disappointing.
It doesn't seem to add anything.
And actually I would say this is the varietal test we end up with Mitch,
where it's like, is the this fancy new Oreo,
is the red velvet Oreo better than the default Oreo?
And if it's not, you know, it's like,
it feels like a little bit of a missed opportunity.
That's certainly the case here.
It's like this could be an improvement on the default Whopper, but it's not.
It's actually like they added more components
and degraded its overall quality.
The Fire Dragon mozzarella fries, I thought were delicious.
I thought they were delightful.
They were a lot of fun.
They were on point.
They were on brand.
Spicy.
They were spicy, you know?
I'm something of a heat seeker
and they absolutely hit in that regard.
The sauce was great.
Soaring strawberry lemonade, yummy.
I didn't have very much of it, but it's a good execution of it.
Vikings chocolate sundae.
I mean, I'm going to echo something that you said,
and I'm going to sound like Tim Bontemps on Hoop Collective.
What are we doing here?
Like, why is this one on a part of this menu?
I guess they just want to have a sweet treat for kids,
but it just has no tie-in to anything.
There's zero effort exerted on that particular radio item.
But here's the thing that's going to make my Fork score
a little bit higher than both of yours.
Mm-hmm.
It's the thing that is sitting on all of our heads
making me look like Professor Dipshit.
I think the coup de gras, the little bit of, you know,
the cherry on top of the How to Train Your Dragon
Burger King menu is the existence
of the How to Train Your Dragon crown.
And if I'm a kid and I'm going to Burger King
and I'm getting this crown with some horns on it,
I'm having a great time.
I don't even give a fuck what I'm eating.
And that to me pluses up the overall menu so much
that I'm gonna give this three forks.
Wow.
Wow.
The crown came through.
All right.
Can I say one last thing?
I got habsies, which is half onion rings and half fries.
And I just wanna say that the integration
of the fries and onion rings is not well done.
They throw like three onion rings on top of the fries.
You have some issues with integration in general.
Mm-hmm.
Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, so I want to say this.
When I said a fallback career for us as bathroom attendants is because we spend time in bathrooms.
Not that we'd be good to.
I want to give a shout out to bathroom attendants in general.
Because it's a tough job and I was not speaking down about it and I feel like I just want
to rectify this for a second.
You're an ally of the working class. I'm a fan of the working class, but also,
there's been numerous occasions where the bathroom attendant
has saved my ass, and we've talked about this before.
We were at a wrestling show, and the, and the, and the,
and let's just say I was having tummy troubles.
The restroom attendant at an indie wrestling show,
I have never worked like a job that hard in my life.
Oh my god, I can't imagine worse fucking, yes.
The people, it was like a bunch of guys.
The fattest, smelliest guys all in there.
I was about to say a bunch of guys who looked like me.
So.
No!
But I was having trouble and the guy knew it
and he hooked me up so much, he was great.
Like he was like, he was doing a lot of different things.
That's all I'll say.
Oh.
Now you made it sound a little sexy.
I mean, he didn't wipe me or anything.
He just, he was doing a lot of, he was doing a lot of stuff.
I got you, bro.
Get up on the table.
He was like, watching out for me and be like,
hey, there's someone in there.
And like, I was like constantly flushing anyways,
because that's what I was doing.
But he was like spraying some stuff.
He was like doing, he was like on top of stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah, I've been saved by bathroom attendant.
They give me gum and stuff.
Yeah.
When I had, I think, a lot of onion.
Yeah.
That's huge, too.
They gave me gum.
There was candies in there,
which I guess the gum is the better root
than candy or whatever from the bathroom.
Probably the move.
Where would you put onion on like your vegetable
and fruit rankings?
Onion.
Up there for me.
You put it towards the top.
I love onion.
Yeah, maybe like five.
Five, okay.
All right, we don't have time to get into one through four
are.
Hey, that was our review of the Burger King
How to Train Your Dragon menu.
It's time for a segment.
I've got a mystery pie, and Mitch and Andrea
must find a series of clues to ID this sweet treat.
The winner gets the pie.
The loser goes home empty stomached.
This is Pie in the Sky.
Wow.
home empty stomached, this is Pie in the Sky. Wow.
I started eating pie, pie.
Which one is in the sky?
Baked a pastry that was pasty, but a mystery which kind?
And Andrea and Mitch were giving it their best try.
Guessing this will be the type of this pie.
This will be the type of this pie.
Okay, so the clues go from more obscure to more obvious.
He's gonna see it in our face when you finish the song.
Come on.
I'm like, oh.
So the clues start off more obscure,
and as we progress, they get more obvious.
It's a stupid show.
You remember from last time.
It's a bad show.
You have two lifelines.
The smell test, which you can smell the mystery pie,
and ask Emma.
You can ask Emma if she has an opinion.
And Andrea, as our guest, you get to go first or second.
I'll go first.
Wait.
Good choice.
You have long COVID, though.
Does that have first?
I know.
It's not fair.
Does it make you smell?
Luckily, my smell has not been affected,
but that is a good point.
I should be able to put my fingers in the pie,
I feel like, Wags.
Yeah, I think you should.
Wait, fingers in the pie?
I think I should be able to feel the pie.
Instead of smell test.
I feel the texture.
Mitch can touch the pie.
All right, good.
All right, perfect.
OK.
But then I feel like you're claiming it,
because you're not going to want to eat it afterwards.
No, I don't think that's necessarily true.
I think just my fingers in it, you can still have it.
All right, Andrea, wait, are you going first or second?
I'll go first.
You'll go first, okay.
First clue.
This sweet pie was made possible by Lorenzo Doe Baker,
a sea captain who brought its main ingredient
from Jamaica to Boston
in the late 1800s.
Kind of crazy to be like a part of pie history
and have the last name Doe Baker.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is that real?
Maybe it's spelled D-O-W,
maybe it's pronounced Dow.
Yeah.
Lorenzo.
Wait.
This sweet pie was made possible by Lorenzo,
a sea captain who brought its main ingredient
from Jamaica to Boston in the late 1800s.
Wait, I'm going first by answering that?
Yes, if you have a guess.
You're trying to guess the pie.
I'm trying to guess the mystery pie.
Lorenzo.
Yeah.
Is that, what kind of person is that?
Lorenzo Dow Baker or Doe Baker.
You know, I can...
What is that?
I'm not sure.
Spanish?
I'm not sure.
I think, I guess the last name...
I think he's American.
Oh, he was American.
Okay.
Hmm.
Okay.
Oh, he brought this fruit?
To Boston.
Main ingredient from, it just says main ingredient from Jamaica to Boston in the late 1800s.
Jamaica to Boston.
Jamaica.
I have thoughts of what it is.
Hmm.
Maybe...
I have no clue in my head.
You can take any guess or you can pass.
Or you also have your two lifelines,
the smell test and ask Emma.
There's rounds.
There's like two more rounds.
So just, yeah.
So he's gonna ask me a question that's easier next
and then you a question that's easier after that.
Okay, can I do smell?
Yes, all right.
Andrea is invoking the smell test lifeline.
Emma is walking over a paper bag with this mystery pie.
Yeah, I wonder how much we'll be able to get a whiff. Okay, so the pie is open inside the container. I don't know if anyone's ever done the smell test.
Really? We've invoked the smell test.
It just smells like sugar. Just smells like sugar.
Apple. It's not apple pie. That was my guess. It's not apple pie. That was my guess.
That's not apple pie.
Right now, in my head, I was like,
is this some sort of upside down pineapple pie or something?
But that's a cake, though, too.
It's upside down pineapple cake.
Mm-hmm.
My thought is that it's some sort of rum pie.
But go ahead, Wags, for the second.
All right, the next clue.
Yeah. Walt Disney once said, I function better serve rum pie. But go ahead, Wags, for the second. The next clue.
Yeah.
Walt Disney once said,
I function better when things are going badly
than when they're as smooth as this essential topping
for this sweet pie.
Smooth as this for this silk pie?
That's smooth as silk, smooth as... Smooth as... I don't know. That's the smoothest silk smooth as
Smooth as I don't know. That's a
candy Smooth. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I
Mean my first thought with Jamaica to Boston is it's some sort of rum
Rum pie or you know, yeah pineapple
Pineapple rum pie. I don't know if that's even a thing.
But I do wanna guess it.
Sounds good.
It does sound good.
I don't know, I mean, I, Emma, I'm gonna say that.
Emma, what are you thinking?
Did you know what it is?
You don't know what it is.
I do know what it is.
I think in the past, I didn't know what it was.
Yeah, so if Emma knows what it is,
then maybe that, that, that taints the Ask Emma lifeline.
All right, well then that's gone.
How about this, Emma?
I was gonna say you're on the right track with a fruit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
Okay, you know what?
That actually works as a, as a vague clue.
Yeah.
I'm gonna say pineapple pie.
I don't know, but that's, oh.
Are you staying with pineapple pie?
Or are you gonna change it? Coconut cream pie.
It's not coconut cream pie.
Okay.
Andrea, the next clue goes to you.
Okay.
This sweet pie is quite appealing.
And if you make one, you'll be doing some appealing.
Appealing?
That's why you go first, by the way,
because the third question is insane,
or the third clue is fucking insane.
Yeah.
Is it banana?
Andrea, you have one pie in the sky.
It's banana cream pie.
Yeah.
Wow, thank you.
I actually am sad I want that pie so bad.
Please, I'll share the pie. Oh wow, what a nice gesture. That is a. Please. I'll share the pie.
Oh, wow.
What a nice gesture.
That is a nice gesture.
Let's share the pie.
I would love to share the pie as we take.
This is great.
Does Wags get some or just you and I?
No, no.
No, of course.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
No, of course.
Let's do a three share.
Wow.
Classic three share.
Where's this pie from?
Oh wait, hold on.
Coconut cream pie.
You were, I mean, banana cream, you were close.
I get it, a tropical fruit.
It's very good.
This is from House of Pies in Los Feliz.
I like House of Pies.
Classic pie.
Get a little crust in here.
House of Pies, obviously, like,
people will call it like a roach coach sort of place.
I'm not saying that about the pie.
In fact, sorry, I fucked up here.
People call it a roach coach because it's
just like a shitty diner.
Oh, this is like a full piece of banana.
Yeah.
It's like a shitty diner, but if you're in the mood
for dessert and you swing by a house of pies
and get yourself a slice of pie, they have great pies there.
Yeah, you always sit in pretty, classic sort of pie joint.
You definitely go for the pie.
Yeah, you go for the pie, not the rest of the menu.
I gotta say this, that is very good,
but they should have mushed up the banana more.
Yeah, it's a whole banana.
It's a whole banana. I like the banana slices. Yeah, it's a whole banana. It's a whole banana.
I like the banana slices.
But it's like a whole banana.
No, it's like a-
Wait, what?
It's like a-
There's like a tube in there?
Like, look, it's a tube.
It's a banana tube.
Oh, that's kind of a half-assed execution.
Yeah.
Should at least slice it.
Yeah.
They make a good chocolate, like a mud pie there.
It's great.
Mm-hmm.
Can I read my next clue?
Cause I thought it was good.
Yeah. Yeah.
Overheard of the yellow fruit orgy.
Finishing me.
I want you to blank pie me.
That's funny.
It's pretty good.
Now hold on.
There's a few things here.
It's crazy.
Clue number three was so insanely just what it was.
And also she said banana and didn't even say banana cream
but you still just gave it to her.
Close enough.
What other banana pies are there?
I meant banana cream.
I meant that.
Banana cream pie me.
Yeah, I got the last part of it.
The last one, the main ingredient in this pie
could perhaps be a minion's favorite thing to say,
ba-na-na.
I love that.
Yeah.
Ba-na-na.
Do you think we would have gotten to that clue?
We might have.
Hey, just like a restaurant via your feedback,
let's open up the feedback.
Today's email is from Mary from West Virginia.
Mary writes, I became a vegetarian in high school
essentially because someone said they didn't think I could do it, and I had to prove them wrong. from Mary from West Virginia. Mary writes, I became a vegetarian in high school,
essentially because someone said they
didn't think I could do it, and I had to prove them wrong.
If someone doubted your resolve, what food
would you give up out of spite?
Thanks for all the laughs.
PS, I was at your Boston show, and I laughed so hard
during Let Me Be Frank, my favorite segment that I cried.
TPS, if this gets read before June 10th,
my husband Matt, who introduced me to Doughboys, will be on Jeopardy, so I want to plug his episode. PPS, if this gets read before June 10th, my husband, Matt, who introduced me to Doughboys,
will be on Jeopardy, so I want to plug his episode
for everyone. Wow.
Wow.
That rules.
Doughboy's a Jeopardy clue in recent years,
and Matt, a Doughboy's fan on Jeopardy, a Jeopardy
contestant.
So good luck to you, Matt.
And PPS.
This won't air before June 10th, though, will it?
It will be out next Thursday.
So it will.
He's gonna be on Jeopardy tomorrow.
Oh wait, he's on Jeopardy tonight.
Why, he's on Jeopardy tonight possibly.
No, he was on Jeopardy two nights ago.
He was on Jeopardy two nights ago.
Check out that episode.
Shit.
PPS for Mitch.
This is my cat Marie.
And let me bring up this pic of Marie here.
Oh, I love to see Marie.
But while we are doing this,
do we have a thought of like,
hey, if I was gonna give up a food for Spike,
like someone thinks I couldn't do it
and I'm gonna give it up. That's funny.
What would we pick?
That, by the way, still good, that pie.
It's very good. It still was really good.
Give up a food for Spike.
So as in like, I love it
and people would doubt that I could do it.
Yes, the prompt was that this person,
Mary became a vegetarian because someone they knew
said they think they couldn't do it.
They didn't think they could do it.
So it's like, I'll prove you wrong.
I think for me, oh God.
There's Marie if you wanna look at that cat.
Oh. Very cute cat, Marie.
That's cute.
Andrea, are you a cat, a friend of cats at all?
Kind of. Yeah.
I've never had a cat, but I think they're fine with me.
All right, well there you go.
Yeah, they're okay with me.
They're usually, they won't, in my experience, cats won't,
like, while we normally are a little afraid of men, They're usually, they won't, in my experience,
cats won't like, while you're normal, a little afraid of men, but women they're fine with.
Like if you're not like an aggressive person,
a cat will like you.
Okay, yeah.
But some of them can have toots.
A lot of cats can have toots.
I think that I couldn't give up pizza.
That's like one I couldn't,
I'm thinking of things I couldn't give up. So if I'm like Mitch, you could't give up pizza. That's like one I couldn't, I'm thinking of things I couldn't give up.
So if I'm like, Mitch, you could never give up pizza.
Yeah, but you're right.
You wouldn't call my bluff.
No, I'd be like, you know, you're right, I can't.
You're right.
I think for me-
You're such a weak man, you could never give up pizza.
You're right, well I can't.
That would be the answer.
You're right.
My thing is like, what is the thing that I like so much
that I could still give it up?
But then does that mean that you don't like it as much?
And this is like-
It's interesting,
because I didn't eat meat for an entire year.
That was not to prove a point.
I mean, I guess it was kind of to prove a point to myself.
I mean, I was kind of being like,
you can't fucking do that.
And then you did.
So it was maybe a little bit of a spite.
But I try to-
I could do that for like a month. I wonder how long I could go without meat. I could it was maybe a little bit of a spite. But I try to like- I could do that for like a month or,
I wonder how long I could go without meat.
Like I could go for maybe a little while.
But this sounds like Mary, this became a vegetarian.
Like this has become a permanent life choice.
Basically because of a dare.
Like is there anything you can commit to on that level?
My answer is no.
Like- No.
Like if someone was like, no Doritos for you.
I'm like, I love Doritos.
I wanna eat them all the time.
And I like, if it was like,
I don't think I could go five months without eating Doritos.
I just don't think I could.
It's like one of the things,
when I get a sandwich, I want a bag of Doritos.
Like that's just what I do.
Do you remember what you snacker-ficed
when we did my snacker-fice?
I think I snacker-ficed a specific brand of Dorito.
Was it Reese's?
Oh, OK.
I thought it was almonds.
I mean, that's fucking easy.
Almonds?
That was easy.
Yeah.
And then I think we give up the wheat churn.
We gave up some sort of candy.
I forget.
We haven't done it at my snacker-fice in a while. Maybe we'll do it this year. And then I think like we give up some sort of candy. Yeah.
We haven't done it at my snack or FICE in a while.
Maybe we'll do it this year.
Yeah.
And we should set a term.
It would be interesting if we did it for like a month
and we did no meat or whatever.
I think for me, a thing that I like genuinely love
and could go, and it's, I think a part of being older
is like fried food.
Oh yeah.
And they're like, I'm like,
do Doritos count though?
Cause they are fried chips.
I think they do, yeah.
Yeah, that's fried.
Or are they baked?
Yeah, you could do baked chips.
Baked chips.
I think if someone's like,
you can, like you can, for spite,
but again, this is like a short term thing.
Doritos are both baked and fried.
Oh, I see it. They're baked first
and then fried.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Maybe French fries themselves then, how's that then fried. Yeah. Hmm.
Maybe French fries themselves then, how's that?
Give up fries, I like that answer.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You couldn't give up fries.
Yeah, well I could. You're pathetic.
Yeah, are you kidding me?
Yeah, I'm pathetic, but I could give up fries.
All right, I guess you'll show me.
There we go, and then I would do it.
Okay.
How long are we talking about, forever?
Forever.
Oh, no, fuck that.
That's just stupid.
I don't want to give up everything for anything forever.
We were talking, I was thinking through things
I couldn't give up, and I honestly think it would be,
as much as I like burgers, I think it'd be tougher for me
to just permanently give up hot dogs.
Because sometimes I just specifically want a hot dog.
Like, I feel like I just have such a,
maybe it's because I have a childhood association with it,
but there's sometimes like, fuck, I really want a hot dog right now. I could give up hot dogs for a, maybe it's cause it's like I have a childhood association with it, but there's sometimes like,
fuck I really want a hot dog right now.
I could give a hot dogs for a year.
Yeah, me too.
I could give hot dogs for a year.
Yeah, I mean, I absolutely could do that.
Could you give up burgers for a year?
I could not.
Yeah, I could.
No, I couldn't.
I could give up a burger for a year.
Yeah.
Pizza and burgers, I couldn't give up.
But like, I'm thinking like,
like what would you test me with?
Water.
I couldn't give up water.
I know, I know.
I couldn't give a water.
Ice cream.
Ice cream, I think that's a good answer.
Coffee's a good one.
Ice cream is a great answer for him.
Ice cream.
Here's the thing about coffee though,
like it would be tough for me to give up coffee,
but I do think that's the kind of thing was like,
I could make it a health argument for that.
It was just like, I'm giving up caffeine
so I'll start to feel, yeah.
I know one for you too, milk.
Milk, yeah, milk is tricky.
Ice cream I think is a good answer.
Cause I think ice cream is a genuine challenge for me.
It is my number one dessert.
And I think if I was like gonna prove someone
that I could go without ice cream.
You couldn't give up ice cream, you pathetic little fuck.
I'll show you Mitch, I'll give up up ice cream I'll never eat ice cream again
that's not true you what you can't do it well now I know I want to do it now
maybe I think maybe I'll never eat ice cream because of this so little joy in
your life why you're gonna get a ice cream maybe I'll do it don't do it I'm
just thinking of your lovely wife go get an ice cream on your way home.
Ha ha ha.
You and your, that's also a good call.
You and your lovely wife like to get ice cream together, one.
Oh, that's nice.
It is nice.
And I'm just like, in my mind, I'm like,
what can she enjoy doing with this man anymore?
I have no idea.
Going to movies, you go to movies together
and you get ice cream.
Yeah.
These are some of the, I'm just.
They're nice activities. Those are nice activities. Why would you, movies together and you get ice cream. These are some of the- These are nice activities. They are nice activities.
Those are nice activities.
Why would you-
Don't give it up.
You can't give up ice cream.
I don't think she'd be bothered that much.
Oh.
She'd be all right with it.
She'd be like, whatever,
and be eating a huge sundae right in front of her.
I mean, it wouldn't affect her, I'm sure.
But wouldn't you be sad?
You have so, what things do you enjoy?
Not the show. Not the show.
Not the show.
I do like watching movies.
Yeah.
I like playing video games.
Could you give up movies?
That's crazy.
To what end?
Yeah, why?
Why would I do that?
I'm just saying, could you give up movies?
Give up just movies.
You couldn't give up movies, you pathetic little fuck.
Could you give them up?
Probably couldn't.
I don't think I could.
I'm just thinking, what a big hole in my life
that it would be if I even just took a year without movies.
Like, why would I do that?
Can you imagine?
It would suck.
Yeah, people would be like, I just watched this,
and then you'd be like, what's that?
Yeah, it's like, I'm not watching movies right now.
And they're like, why? Does movies trump every, like, what's that? Yeah, it's like, hey, well, I'm not watching movies right now. And they're like, what?
Does movies trump every, like, that's my question.
It's like, would you rather give up, like, pizza for me,
pizza and burgers?
Let's just throw Jack and Off in there.
Fine, Jack and Off.
Would you rather give up Jack and Off than blank?
Ooh, Jack and Off is way up there.
If someone was like, you have to give up Doritos or movies,
what would you pick?
I would give up Doritos. I give up Doritos, too. I mean, it would be so hard for me, but I was like,itos or movies, what would you pick? I would give up Doritos.
I give up Doritos, too.
I mean, it would be so hard for me,
but I was like, I'm like, what food?
I give up Jack and Off before movies.
What?
I think I would also give up Jack and Off.
I think I would give up Jack and Off.
Before movies?
And then some days I'd wake up in the morning
and be like, ooh, something happened last night.
You know what I mean?
Like, then you think you're like.
The return of wet dreams?
Did the wet dreams come back?
Oh yeah, maybe, maybe. Isn't that cheating? Like, then you like- Return of wet dreams? Did the wet dreams come back? Oh yeah, maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe magic-
Is that cheating?
No, that's not.
No, you can't control that.
Oh, that's not cheating?
You can't control that.
Magical things start happening.
Yes!
I like, but that like-
You might get powers.
Also, when you're, I'm four,
I'm like very clear.
I think also, Liz,
we gotta get some loads out.
You just gotta become a fuck machine.
Yeah. That's power. Well just gotta become a fuck machine. Yeah.
That's powerful.
Well that ain't happening either.
When you're 40, you get it.
When you get older, there can be time that you go
without doing that and it's fine.
I would genuinely give up jacking off
before giving up movies.
It would be easier for me to do No Nut November than,
No Movie November. No Movie November.
Yes. Wow.
I think so. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I agree.
I think so.
Interesting.
I agree.
And also, I just would cheat anyways.
So who cares?
And jack off?
Yeah, just jack off.
I'd be like, I'm doing really well.
I'm not doing it.
You're like getting other people to jack you off?
You can't prove that you're not jacking off.
Yeah, you can't prove shit.
You're gonna take fucking, you're gonna check my sperm levels?
Yeah, what if they check your sperm levels?
They'll be like, I have low sperm levels.
Which is probably true anyways.
You got lower when you stopped checking.
I do like, I look at, to answer your question.
I do like, I like watching movies.
I like playing video games.
I like reading.
I love walking. I like working out. I like playing video games. I like reading. I love walking.
I like working out.
I like watching, I like basketball.
If you were like Doritos or video games for the year,
I probably would give up video games.
I give up Doritos, that's the easy one.
See, there's no, for movies,
there's maybe no food that would top it.
Pizza is probably the closest to a thing
that I would maybe, I couldn't give up movies though.
I would just have to stop eating pizza for a year
and I'd be pissed, cause I love pizza.
But I think movies I couldn't give up.
Video games I could give up.
I didn't play video games basically last year.
What if we went beyond, that's wild to me.
But actually I think that that is maybe good for you
just because I know you get very obsessive
with video games.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I understand why you did that.
Yeah, me too.
Yeah, it's too much. Yeah, I can't.
Yeah.
I'm in the middle of a Bellatro run right now.
I stopped to do the episode.
I'm really got you back on it,
and that's not good.
It's not a good thing.
I didn't need to do anything
to get him back on the run, by the way.
Yeah, actually, he did do it himself, basically.
You said, you told me you were playing Bellatro,
like you were like, you were playing Bellatro.
No, you asked me if I was and I said no.
And then you started playing again.
No.
I still think you share some responsibility for it.
And then you tested and you went.
Yeah, I think it's too far.
That's why I'm here.
She got me on it.
I'm going to swim again, too.
Andrea, like going back to the food side of the prompt,
is there a food that like, again, someone could challenge
you to give up that just purely out of spite, purely to, someone could challenge you to give up
that just purely out of spite,
purely to prove a point you would give up?
I can do it. I can do dessert.
Dessert in general?
Yeah.
It's all out the window.
I can do it.
You're not just making a food stuff,
you're making it in a category.
Yeah.
You just very much enjoyed that banana cream pie.
I love dessert and I'll always,
sometimes I'll have a meal just to have dessert,
but I can do it, I think.
Wow.
No donuts?
Yeah.
Wow, no sweet treats.
I think I could do it, wait, forever?
I think that's what the question is.
Who gives up anything forever?
Yeah, that's crazy.
Mary apparently from West Virginia.
Beans, vegetarians.
Yeah, I guess, yeah.
Monks?
They come back around sometimes too, though.
I could, man, don't you ever think about just being a monk? No. I guess, yeah. Monks? They come back around sometimes, too, though.
Man, don't you ever think about just being a monk?
No.
I think about it.
Yeah.
Why?
It just feels like there's something to just having
such a simple, regimented life.
I get that.
Yeah.
Give up everything.
Serene and tranquil.
It's kind of nice.
Yeah.
Don't want anything.
Wouldn't you want AC and stuff like that?
I don't know.
You just get used to not having it
I think they can have AC can they have AC? I think they can have I've seen with phones can monks watch movies
That was my question. I think monks can watch a movie. I think the main point of monk is like
Living in a temple and meditating a lot. Yeah, that sounds shaving your head and sweeping
I think giving up like material things for the most. But they have phones.
But like I don't think they desire for material things.
Or just don't want it.
Yeah.
They need it but they don't need it.
Then that is desirable, I feel like.
Yeah, simple.
How much do you get paid for a monk?
I don't think you get paid.
What's the salary? How high can I go?

Tell everyone about it
and anything else you'd like to plug.
And thanks so much for coming back.
Thanks for having me.
Of course you're here.
I just follow me online, I'll post food.
I post food, oh my God, I had a really good
peanut butter jelly sandwich last night at Cantor's.
Wait, that's what you got at Cantor's?
That's so funny, because you said Cantor's
had really fun, I had no idea you got a peanut butter
and jelly sandwich there.
The food was great.
Wait, the food was good?
Yeah, well, because I got a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
I ordered two.
I had two.
Wait, hold on.
Wasn't the whole story that the canters was in pretty bad shape?
In that it's not well attended.
But I had a great time with peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
What kind of bread did you get it on?
Egg bread.
OK, two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on egg bread?
Yeah. The other side? Chips. Two sides two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on egg bread? Yeah.
To the side?
Chips.
Two sides of chips or just one side?
Two sides of chips, but I didn't finish the chips.
Right, so you had two, you're like, I want two meals.
I had the first one.
Yeah.
And it was ordered by someone else, my friend,
and then I took half of his and I was like,
oh, this is so good.
And I got another one and I ate the whole of that one. and I was like, oh, this is so good and I got another one
and I ate the whole of that one.
And he was like, I thought you were gonna give me
the other half because you took my half.
I said, no, I ordered, that was for me.
The second one was for me.
You could have ordered another one.
So you didn't order anything?
Your friend shared their meal with you,
you had half of it.
I had a matzo ball soup on my own.
And then he ordered a peanut butter jelly sandwich.
I'd be so mad at you.
This is insane.
I would get so mad at you if you took half my sandwich
and then you ordered another one and didn't give me
the other half of it.
But that was for me.
I ordered it for myself.
Yeah, I know.
But he ordered his sandwich for himself. But I wanted his me. I ordered it for myself. Yeah, I know. But he ordered his sandwich for himself.
But I wanted his.
Sure.
Did he offer it to you, or did you ask for it?
I asked for it.
I was like, ooh, can I have half of that?
This is insane.
I was like, ooh, can I have half of that?
I was like, ooh, that looks so good.
Can I have half of that?
And he said yes. And he's like, of course you I have half of that? And he said, yes.
And he's like, of course you can have half of it.
And then I had half and I was like, oh, it's so good.
Give me another one.
And I ate both of the other ones.
And he looked on the plate.
He's like, I thought you were gonna leave me the other half.
Yes, that's the most normal response.
I would have seen it too, actually.
Yeah, yeah.
All right, well.
But did you post a picture
of this peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
Wait, I'll show you.
Do you ever do the thing?
I used to love doing this as a kid.
I can't really do peanut butter anymore.
But when I have a PB&J, I would throw.
Look at this.
Yeah.
That does look quite toothsome.
That looks good.
That's a good one.
That looks good as hell.
I get some chips on the side.
I'll throw those chips inside that PB&J.
Yes.
A little bit of crunch.
You put it in with the crunch.
I never did that.
I don't mix it up like that.
It's too much for me.
Great textural. I like it. I don't mix it up like that. It's too much for me. Great texture.
I like it.
I don't like it.
Anyway, oh yeah, follow me online.
I'll post peanut butter jelly sandwich that I hoarded.
And yeah, Andrea Jin.
Oh yeah, my podcast is just, we're talking about stuff.
