This is a headgum podcast. Want to watch this episode? Check it out on our YouTube channel by going to YouTube.com slash doughboys media. Type 3 diabetes. In recent years, some in the medical community have used this term to refer to the disease that causes Alzheimer's and dementia. A 2008 paper published on the National Institutes of Health website, currently only partially functional, of a government shutdown, combined with a general disassembly of the public health sector by a lithid brain parasite host, RFK Jr., features the, quote, insulin deficiency and insulin

resistance act as mediators of Alzheimer's disease type neurodegeneration, end quote. In layman's terms, the same factors that lead type 2 diabetes to affect the body can also affect the brain. WebMD includes as a possible cause of type 3 diabetes in associated neural diseases, quote, regularly eating foods that are high in calories, sugars, and fats while low in fiber. Perhaps one could speculate the kind of diet that might be consumed by the host of a fast food podcast. And perhaps this sort of body and brain punishing intake could lead one to completely forget that a particular chain restaurant was discussed on said podcast just this past year. Nevertheless, the chain in question, named for the same LA neighborhood

that contains the headquarters of a lightly staffed podcast network has become a major player in the hot, savory liquid sector with about two dozen locations spread across the U.S. And whether we remember it or not, with a full month of soup discussion on the table, it's a franchise worth revisiting, as we further endanger our brain capacities by consuming more of its caloric,

sugary, fatty, minimally fibrous wares. This week on Doe Boys, we begin Crocdough Burnfa S. 2025, a super-sized month of bisques, broths, stews, and stocks, and crocs, as we return, somehow for the first time since last year, I guess, to Silver Lake Ramen. Welcome to Do Boys, the podcast about chain restaurants. I'm Tiger Weiger, along with my co-host, chowders for Algernom, like Flowers for Algernon, the Spoon Man, Mike Mitchell. Welcome to Twisted Monthel.

It's not Twisted Monthel, Mitch. In fact, it is Crocdo burn, fa, est, our October theme, a supersized month of Biscs, broth, stews, and stocks, and crocs. We will be talking crocodiles on the double as part of Soup Month. That was an Emma pitch. Crocdo burn for est. So, okay, I pitched a different idea. The Deiast was on board with the other idea.

I'm so fucking mad at you. I can't believe you're starting the month with this shit when I explained you off pod why we couldn't do it. Now you're just like, oh, we have, I had this great idea. The Deus was on board with me. I guess someone vetoed me. Yeah, it was fucking me. And I had a real reason to do it because of shit happening in my life.

I can't believe you're starting the episode with this. Give me a second. Mitch, this is fucked up, dude. I just wanted you to say that I could do it next year. Okay, great. Yeah, do it next year. Why not? I can do it next year. Yeah, why not? All right. We're in. I thought it was fun. It's just like we couldn't

like we couldn't pull it together. Did I not say yes, we can do it? Yeah. I said, we can do it and then you said, how about these two names? I said, that other one and then you picked this bullshit. This one's good. Crocdo burn for est. Whatever you want, sir. Hi, Do Boys, crew. Here's a roast in honor of Mitch becoming the smart one this year.

It's also a little Massachusetts theme. I pulled a reverse Mitch and moved from my hometown of Los Angeles to Boston for nursing grad school last year. Wow, thank you for your service. Sincerely, Chris Actually from Somerville, Massachusetts. Chris Actually. Chris Actually. Oh. Chris actually.

Hair scraping the underside of a door. P.S. Mitch once called me a coward in an episode with Susser after my girlfriend approached him while she was working. at the Village Bakery. So this is payback. Oh, yes. I remember this, I think. You remember this. Yeah, but I mean, there's been a lot of powerly listeners who's significant others have approached us. I'm not actually mad at you.

You're very... I don't know, folks. Let's watch that tape back. We're having it. We're having. We're having. I... Look, we were talking about a lot of different months. Yeah. I wasn't trying to bring this up to bring up your

personal life. Yes. And you said, this month might be a little too hard this month with the stuff that's going on, I said, I completely understand. And then we landed on soups. Soups is good. Soups is great. Soups is good. And then today I came in and you said, it's our first time doing Silver Lake Ramen. I went, no, it's not. Yeah, this is the thing. Why didn't anyone tell me we've done this before? It's not my fault. Hey, it's not my fault you're losing your mind. Or is it? I don't know. Maybe it is my fault. We did this last year and I have no memory of it. With Sierra, correct? With Sierra, yeah.

I looked it up. I was like, oh, yeah, that's right. Yes, we did it. We did something like prom. I figured it's been like a year. It's okay. Yeah, it's fine to, I guess it's fine to revisit. But yeah, like, just mention it.

There's no pivot. I mean, I did it either. We're on Taco Bell 25. I didn't think that I would have to stop anybody. Fair enough. Fair enough. I might have early onset dementia. That might be what's going on.

You said this. Oh. Can I say what? You and I went to the Chargers game. That's true. You're chargers pill. We've seen each other three, three days in a row now. Explains your.

fucking mount the Subius you had on me when the fucking episodes started. Tomorrow's shorts are going to be a nightmare. We're going to have a good time. We're having fun. Yeah, I'm glad that it's just, you know, the big explosion you have on me is the one that I'm the most nervous about

because it's the end of the show and end of my life. But we were, we went to the Chargers game. Yeah. I'm trying to get you into an NFL team. That's right. And the Chargers are on the top of that list,

it seems like right now. I might be bolt-pilled. I had a good time, the Chargers game. Bolt-pilled. I like it. Fun. Get some bolt on. I was bolt pill when the movie Bolt came out

It was a lot of fun A fast dog, I believe John Travolta was the voice of Bolt I think Was he really? And then it was one of those things There's a hamster, I think there's a hamster in a little thing Or a gerbil in a, you know, in a in a week And like a ball he moves around

And that was a thing where they temp voiced it with one of the animators And the performance was so good They were like, let's just use this guy in the movie. They just cast that rule. That's the best. Who was the fast snail? Snoot. What's his name?

We've talked about, I don't know. We always get bolt confused with a... It might be turbo, but it might be nitro. Oh, turbo. Oh, shit. Is it nitro or turbo? The snail. And I won't rule 34 it for all the listeners out there who get mad at me for

rule 34ing everything. I won't rule 34 or turbo or bolt. Snow. Snail trail. We definitely be... Oh, God. What was the thing you said in San Francisco? A male snail trail?

A male snail trail. That's when you got a little wet one down there if you catch my drift. A little wet butt hole. While we're in this territory, Mitch. You know, we've talked about our T scores for a while on this pod. Yes.

My therapist had me get a testosterone test because I guess one of the side effects of a medication I'm on is alter testosterone levels. I didn't do an at-home test. My doctor ordered one. I went in person to the labs. Okay, okay, okay.

Let's see you're a legit test. I have the results. The normal range for male testosterone is 240 to 871 nanograms per deciliter. Oh, that's quite a range. Yeah, 240 to 871 nanograms per deciliter. Do you want to guess my score? Whoa. What's the average score again?

The normal range is 240 to 871. Nanometer. nanograms per deciliter nanograms nanograms per decilator It's kind of a combo Between a Nana and a grandma Nanogram Yeah I guess

I guess so Yeah Sounds like something your grandma Would send you a nanogram Yeah nanogram Right yeah I know Nanogram

Cute Uh hmm I'm gonna guess You're 212 The Detroit Area Code So you're below the normal range Yeah, yeah, yeah. 212, or is that at Los Angeles?

No, 212 is New York. It's New York. Oh, fuck. All right, I guess 313. That's Detroit, right? Manhattan and New York City is 202. I'm going to push you up. I'm going to boost you up to 313.

You're saying 313. Mm-hmm. Again, the normal range is 240 to 871 nanograms per deciliter. My testosterone came in at 871 on the dot. Oh, my God. You're fucking juicing. Like I got a perfect score on the LSATs. Wow.

That's fucking bullshit. I'm pure virility. That's what you're looking at. So one more anagram and you would have been too much testosterone. You know what? Honestly, yeah. Would have been over the limit. What are you sad about?

This is what peak performance looks like. What are you sad about? This guy can not on command, it sounds like. Jesus Christ. That's what it sounds like. And I remember, I was shocked. I got my testosterone, I got my testosterone on taking one time, and it was way, way, way lower back in the day. Yeah.

We're talking 313 levels. But it's still in, and I was like, that's pretty low in the right. That's actually within the range. And I was like, that's low as hell. It's within the range. It's within the range. You're fine. Yeah, you don't need to worry about it.

So if you're outside of the range, it's a problem. I need, I got to do something. we both got to do something let's end the podcast no that's not what I want to do ramen for the second time in two years that's on you you just forgot I know but like this is right

okay okay soup thing you gave me two choices of the name this is the name that's the name crocdo burn foest I think it's pretty good fuss fussed

I think it's pretty good hold on let me find the other name you like the other name I think you like this one there was like 25 We have, we, there is, um, Croc, no, there was, there was some things I did not like, to be clear.

I'm scrolling, I'm scrolling, I'm scrolling. Burn sip, burp or whatever the fuck he got to at one point. Croc Foe burn sip. That's, I liked croc bo, foe burn sip. You're saying foe is fah. That's the problem. The portmanteau collapses when you say, when you make it at foe for dough. Um, you said, uh, one cares, nerd.

People will get, Mitch, people will absolutely care. Yeah, but they're dorks. And you'll be mad about. You don't, sit down. I'm mad about it. Sit down. You're not standing up. They're sitting.

Sit down their leg, they have to get up. You liked crocdough broth sip. I like crocdo broth sip. Crocdough broth sip. Crocdo broth sip. It doesn't sound like anything. Octoberfest is what we're doing a play on.

Crocdo burn fast is an attempt at that. Let me just say. Procdo broth sip is just abandoning it entirely midway. This guy, she said, you got to promise you can't get mad again. For the other idea, I was going to fly to the other side of the globe for the other work. Yes, I was. I was, too.

I was going to do it. We can't say what the idea is. The Reddit thought you were going to fly to Denver this morning and I laughed at how far off they were. Oh, that was going to fly to the other side of the world. Wait, did you mention this already on something? No, I didn't. We bleeped it.

We bleeped it. Why did they say? Because you said I was going to fly to bleep. you said you were going to find something on another episode. And then Wax was like, well, don't spoil it, so we bleeped it. And then we didn't even end up doing the idea yet. But we're saving it, so. Can I tell Beth, can we bleep again?

Yeah. It was, uh, it was, it was. Oh, what? Go to . Yeah. Can I come? Oh, yeah. I mean, he's not going to come.

I'm not coming. Wait, all right, hold on. Yeah. Next year we can do it and Betsy and I can go. Yeah, it's fine. Yeah! I'm in. I'm in.

But again, fuck yeah. I was like, when you tell a little kid they could have a seat over? Now they're really going to think it's Denver. Another, another, this is the thing, like, another issue with this. You're that excited about going back to Denver? Yeah. Another issue with this, with this alternate theme is I didn't think we could come up with more than two restaurants that actually qualified. Like, when people started pitching restaurants, I was like, that, like, that doesn't make any sense.

That doesn't work. This is, this, we can't get, we can't get too detailed. Okay, I just, it felt like, it felt tricky for a number of reasons. We were going to go, all right, hold on, we were going to go to, you're gonna go to oh we're gonna you gotta bleep it again yeah yeah we're gonna go to restaurant

bleep bleep bleep great and that was there's there's there's four or five it was and for the place that you're in right now and we care about you and love you and you were being you know like you know you're going through your shit and I'm like a very thoughtful caring person

and I said don't worry I got your back here we won't do this bullshit we'll do your bullshit I'm dealing with a leithly high testosterone level. Yeah, I'm the burger boy. I think I can get a new name, Mr. T. I can't believe this.

I was shocked. I can't believe it either. It's like, you know, like one of those, like shotguns can hold a lot of ammunition if you catch my drift. Wait, what were you going to say? Like, did you feel different? Like, have you... After I knew?

Or before, like, anything changed? Yeah, did you grab the doctor and spin them on your finger? Shoot him and... I don't know. No, I mean, like, I mean, I feel... You're going through... I feel generally insane. Okay.

So that's an issue. I feel generally like I'm losing my mind. You're working on it. I'm working on it. And you've gotten yourself out there. We're out with you last night. Mitch, that was a lovely gesture. You, at Jordan Morris,

wrangled it all together. We went to a fun bar over on my side of town. You and Gabris and Jordan all joined. We had a lovely time. We talked a lot of shit, which is what you want to do in one of those sorts of hang. That's all. That's all you want to do. And guess we got a little Taco Bell on the ride home.

Wow. Yeah, what did you get? 2000 menu. I fucking wrapped it up. Yep. We got that on Saturday. Cool ranch. A lot of fun. Cool Ranch Dereo's Taco Supreme. Yep. I got a Cool Ranch Gordina Crunch. Though, I kind of just like the regular gordia crunch i don't need the flavor uh in there i got a double

decker taco i didn't eat all of this and i got a uh chili chili cheese chili cheese burrito so good that was that was really good it's so i never got it in the 2000s do you know i never got it either it was my first yeah it's awesome it's great and you know what's fucking delicious that apple empanata pretty good it's great why i got to try this fucking fantastic yeah i think it puts the mcdonald's apple pie to shame wow absolutely it's fucking great absolutely not the high I do like an apple pie, but I mean, like, yeah. But that does, because it's, it seems like it's got a better sort of crust. I said Apple and Panetta is actually, like, is legit good.

Yeah. It's very, very good. It's so good. Wow. Yeah. Gabe Gabor's a ride home. Yeah. It was great.

Only problem with the Apple Epidata is $499. And it goes a new one every two years. Yeah. I just updated my Apple and Panetta. Yeah. A new charging hole. Right now I have to change all my chargers. God.

Big one of my ass. Yeah. I don't we seek this thing to ICloud? Fuck. Tim Cook literally. That's the thing. You got to Tim Cook it. Yeah.

Wise, I've got to bring this up because we talked about it beforehand. And Betsy and I might write this movie. Yes. Oh, yeah. And Amelia says that we should bring it up. Well, do we want to introduce our guests before we do that? Oh, also, Emma, hit him with a drop. I have to go to the bathroom.

okay it's so early in the show it's all right i'm gonna just say this it's because of what we did today so this is we're now opening it up to the fact that we know which portal needs to open portal needs to open portal needs to who knows i need the fear i need the fear to come back i just went away what i don't know i you get what i'm saying All judgeer. All right and right and right and right and right and right and right and right and right and right and right and right. All right. That beat was very good.

That was cool. I feel cool. Yeah, I feel cool. Such talented drop creators out there. Spooky Poops. That's the email. Wow. Hey all.

Made this drop to spread awareness of Mitch's new fear-based shitting strategy into Warren of the Soul Judger. No beats. That's who it's from, no beats. Well done, no beats. That's great. That was cool. Drops at birdfuck.com. You know what else is?

This person should get a record deal. I concur. Wags, you've been down. That's right. I just want to say this to you. The world has been entertainment deprived. We're star for good entertainment. It's true, yeah.

And you're adding, you're adding some, you're adding something to it. All right. Yeah. Yeah, this is, you want to say so. I've questioned whether I should stay in this industry myself, but you gave your life to this. You care about it, don't you? Yeah, I mean, this is the thing. You can't re-roll your life.

I read about Chris Actually's thing of going to nursing grad school. That is a sort of thing I think I think back on like, yeah, maybe I should just got to nursing school. My mom was a nurse. Noble profession feels like a thing, you know, like I'd feel like I was actually like helping people and make a tangible difference in the world. You are making a tangible difference in the world. I'd like to quote some of the Rogan verse here. Comedians are some of the most important people in the world. I think that you make, I think you make a difference.

I mean, that's all bullshit, but I think you make a difference for a lot. I think you make a lot of people happy. Totally. And we got nothing good. Grogu and Mandalorian? What the fuck is that shit? It looks like shit. Yeah, the Mandalorian and Grogu.

I mean, I, you know, I don't know. I'm trying to be completely... Looks like some TV bullshit. I'm trying to be completely cynical about it, but it does feel like Mandalorian kind of already concluded. And then they did another season and now they're also doing a movie. It's just like how long are we going to stretch this thing out? Fuck, Disney.

You know what? Unsubs, keep that energy unsubscribing from Disney Plus and Hulu. Fucking unsubscribe from Netflix, too. It's all bullshit. It's all bad. You're doing a good job. Yeah, and Peacock. Oh, no.

No, watch this medal. No, watch this medal. And keep Paramount Plus. Keep Paramount Plus. Watch goes. I like the studio. I'll back the studio. more than I will the fucking stream the streaming people why you're doing you're doing great

you I'm not fishing for that but thank you you're doing well I'm I'm I'm giving it to you you mean a lot to a lot of people that's nice it's so nice it's so true it's the truth yeah and also you may think you're bad but entertainment's so bad that you're not bad that's a good I guess if we're grading on a curve yeah you know I'm still like a D but still you know that's that's passing passing I think you're a eight one's What was your testosterone school? 871. 871.

Yeah. We're as close. Staggering. Our guest today from ghosts, we love trash and a funny feeling. Betsy Siddharo's back. Hi, Betsy. Thank you so much for being here.

For having me. I'm so pumped to be here. I love you guys. We love you too. We're always pumped to have you. One of our favorite guests. One of the funniest people on earth. I love hanging out with you guys.

Such a blast. What do you mean? You mean anyone as fun as Betsy in nursing school? No way. No way. Except the nurse who probably accidentally kills. people. Sorry, a lot of

public died of your IVs. She's awesome, but a lot of people die on her wife. We got to talk about this idea that I saw organically arise as we were doing our pre-show

meat. You might want to start investing right now, my man. Get on board. You've heard of Sister Act. Yes. Betsy and I want to do Brother Act. Where I dress up as a nun and go to a nunnery, what's the word of the golf? We'll research this, convent, yeah, we'll research that.

I think we do no research. We just pull from what we kind of remember and from sister hack. I love it. And also, I love that Betsy already claimed a character named Sister Trash. We don't know what her deal is, but she's there and they become friends. Yes. But yeah, Mitch will be an undercover nun. Very cool.

And we'll not shave. No. My beer is going to stay. He's going to be justified. He's going to break a little girl's hand by. hit it him. With the ruler. I'm going to get a boner and pretend it's a crucifix. But all the other nuns also have. Those are unrelated. I just want to say. Oh, yes.

You know, break a little girl's hand and then get a boner. Oh, yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. There's not going to be a nasty movie. It's not nasty. It's a fun movie. It's a fun movie. It's a fun funny movie. It's for everyone. It's for everybody. PG, maybe PG-13 with a little bit of ra. We might I don't think this is an art. We're an artist. Isn't an American pioneer? I mean, we definitely need you to fall and your whole, like, nun dress go over your back and we see your butt.

Yeah, that's good as hell. That's funny. I guess I guess. Sister Mitchell, you're supposed to wear. Sister Mitchell. I guess if the thing you're trying to do is you're going to, you're like, we're going to go further than sister act. This will be a sister act for grown-ups instead of, like, trying to do a four-fodron thing. You could do, like, a hard R and none.

Yeah. Right. That could be a part of the pitch. Yeah. And then it is like, is there, like in Sister Hag, we got a choir, what are you joined? Oh, great question. That is a good question. Hmm.

Or do all the nuns start being like, I think Sister Mitch is actually right about what's going on in the world. Like, they start following you. That's good. That's good. More than Catholicism. I like that, too. Yeah, I love that. So I'm like that, maybe.

That's, I like, I like that. I changed some stuff in the. You changed some stuff in the Catholic Church. It should end with, I should meet the Pope at the end of it. Yeah. You fix Catholicism? Yeah. That's good.

You make Catholicism cool again. Again. That is the end of Sister Act is that it becomes there, the, you know, the convent's choir becomes such a sensation that the Pope makes a visit. And you see a, they already did that. You see a, you see a fake Pope John Paul the second from the back, like rocking out. Rocking out to sit. And that's the end of the movie.

I will follow him. Yeah. It's great. It is really good. Maybe we'll do that too. Yeah, great. Fine. Sister Mitch joins the choir and helps save the church.

Yeah, yeah. Maybe I go to the choir. And the boat comes. We're getting into the 2025 and you start like an epic Twitch channel or something with your fellow. That's good. That's good. That's good. That's good.

That's great. Yeah. Would there be a Zoom or none? I mean, I guess you probably have to, right? Like a super online like TikTok nun is one of the, because you know, you got to have a bunch of different archetypes than the convent. We wanted to be like a... I think the tone we're going for

is like how high, basically. That's kind of what we're looking for. That sounds good. Yeah. Yeah. Are you in? Yeah, I'm in, yeah. I'll direct it.

Fuck. Perfect. It's gonna be a fucking box office disaster. Let's talk about another movie, a movie that released theatrically that I really enjoyed. This came out a few years ago. And we haven't talked about it on the pod, but you are a voice in Pussin' Boots the Last Wish. Yeah.

This movie's so fun. Thank you so much. And you're so good in it. Thank you. Such a delight to hear you. I play a serpent sister. Yes. And when they hit me up to do the part, I didn't see any of the script.

It was pretty much just my scenes. And I saw a serpent sister. So I was like, oh, I must mean I'm like a snake because it's pusset boots, you know? And I'm like, people are like animals talk. So I like go in and I say. start doing like, s's, and they're like, why are you doing that? And I was like, oh, I figured because I'm a serpent, like I'm a snake, so I should probably like, and they're like, oh, no, no, you're a human in this world.

And I was like, oh, okay, all right. But it was a blast. Yeah. It was so fun. You had, wait, was this where you had an experience with Sam Rockwell? Yes. Yes. So I didn't meet him, but the directors told me, because they were telling me, like, who's in

the cast and stuff. and I was like, whoa, this is so nuts. And they said he, oh, no, this isn't Pussin' Boots. My bad. This is Troll's World Tour. Wow. We can edit this out. No, I mean, do we want to talk about Troll's World Tour?

Yeah, sure. I have not seen Trolls World Tour. I have seen it twice. Did you see World Tour? Nice. I'm so sorry. I've got my cartoons mixed up. Sam Rockwell's world tour

And he plays a cowboy troll And apparently his first day of recording He showed up in full cowboy gear For voiceover And like did it of course killed And then afterwards was like Oh I guess I don't have to dress up like this That's so funny

Isn't that so nice and just delightful I love it Yeah, sorry, but Pussy Boots rules too. Yeah, I saw it in the theater, and it was really wild to be like, whoa. And it was a packed theater. Yeah, that rules. Which was really cool. I was like, oh, my God.

No, our audience was really responding to it. It's got a great energy to it. It's funny, and just the animation is really good. Beautiful. Yeah, I was really blown away. Got this like Fresco sort of quality to it. Yeah. Isn't he?

He's well loved, too, isn't he? People like him. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. You see the movie where he gets cuckolded? No. A baby girl? No.

Oh, baby girl. It gets fucking cucked in baby girl. I gotta watch that shit. Let's get out of here. It's research for Brother Act. Yeah, my testosterone up to 871. Yeah, that'll know. While we're in movie town, I know you're a horror fan.

There have been, you know, we're in a modern. We're in the spooky season-wise. We're in the spooky season here in Crocdough Burnfest. But also, we like, this is a, you know, this is. been a year with a lot of horror releases. It's been a good year. For me, like, the one, and Natalie, you know, also loves this film, but, like,

I think it's her favorite movie the year. The horror movie that I think really stands out as a work of art, which I think you agree, is 28 years late. Oh, yeah. Just an absolute fucking... My God. It was beautiful. It was incredible. It was incredible. That whole scene with the,

at the big skull... The bone temple? Bone temple. And with the mom. Yeah, without spoiling it, for people who haven't seen it, but it is an incredibly poignant. It's beautiful. The music's incredible. It feels like almost a completely new, different movie. Right. I loved it.

I loved it so much. Yeah, such a lovely piece of writing and just so well-related. Yes. It was such a cool movie. So human. Hey, a lot of weeners. Hey, that's my bone temple. Some hogs in that, yeah. I bowed the bone temple of the alpha. That thing is fucking.

Yeah, dude. It was very like, whoa. Cool. That's a... Let's test that guy's T-level. I bet it's nuts. It's through the roof. It's a prosthetic hog, unfortunately.

Yeah. I figured. We kind of, like, we went outside and we, we picketed the studio after we found out. We were really upset. Use real weeners. Come on. Enough with this horseshit. I like that that's just sitting in some sort of, like, a studio somewhere.

It's just on a back lot somewhere, just hanging. night. Yes. The hog. The person I call it. We got an ocean's 11 that thing. Yeah. Let's get the hog, dude. Ocean's 11 inches. It's on the tram tour. It comes out of the water. Jodd's broken. Don't worry. We got the hogs

from 28 years later. I loved that movie. Yeah, really great movie. People cheer as it comes out of our people. Yay! The day of C.S.C. 20 years later? I have not. Not yet. Let us know when you give it a view. really incredible.

Soundtracks, I made everything about it so good. It's great. We're still in the recent aftermath of weapons coming out. I enjoyed a lot of fun. Loved it. I loved it. I loved it so much. Oh, it was so cool. He's in charge of Resident Evil, Maxed. That'll be cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is your, what are, like, are there any standouts that, like, you know,

you think back on the year? Because you said it's been a good year. There are any, like, this one are really connected with me. I'm trying to, like, 28 years later, it's huge weapons. but what else because it did feel like it was a really fun there was sinners there was a bring her back which I didn't see that's intense yeah is it yeah I got I like talked to me I like talked to me yeah I haven't seen it yeah I like talked to me too and I liked this one okay um it was one but this happens to me a lot with horror movies where I'm like I don't ever have to see that again and then a couple years I'll be like you know what I do want to watch hereditary again I feel it's all that and I left that one

being like, whoa, I don't ever have to see that again, but I'll watch it again. I got to watch it. You've never seen it? Yeah, no. No, no, not hereditary, what you were just talking about. Yeah, bring her back. Bring her back. Oh, bring her back. I haven't seen Ricker Back back. The Bring Her Back is the sequel, it's the guy who may talk to me's next movie, right?

Yeah, okay, yeah. Yeah. The two like YouTube dudes. Yeah, they're like a director do. Yeah. Well, while we mentioned Ari Aster, and, you know, not explicitly a horror movie, but it does feel like a horror movie, Eddington, which I love. Oh, I didn't see it. I got to see it. I got to see it. Also a hog movie

And I've heard it's a hog movie I don't And I don't think that thing's I don't think that bad boy's prosthetic But it could be wrong There's no You know what after 28 years later You know

It's peak hog cinema There's no other hog in cinema I don't know You see Eddington Oh shit all right We got to watch Eddington for research I'm not saying look, it's not like a, it's not like a sensual depiction, not, nor, neither is the, you know, the, the fucking alpha and 28 years later.

It's, it's a very clinical sort of display, but it is, if it's not prosthetic, the alpha obviously trumps it, but again, that's a piece of, you know, a piece of molding. I imagine you talking about this in nursing school. I think you have a lot of people I can chop it up with about prostatic hog in the lunchroom. I mean, I guess like clinically, like a clinically, I saw a movie where clinically the hog looks to be good. If you think clinically in front of anything, you're a good nurse. You're able to talk about whatever you want. I, you know, ever since, I haven't been as good with spooky season. A couple years ago, when I first got long COVID, I did think my house was haunted when I was losing my mind, which I think I told you about.

Yeah. And it was, I drove by the murder mansion in Los Velas. I don't even like bringing it up anymore. Yeah. And then I watched a YouTube documentary on it and they talked about how the motion sensors in their house went off. And then motion sensors in my bathroom went off that night over and over again. Oh, my God. And I was going.

You may have had something with you. I may. Look, Wig's knows this. I blessed my house with Holy Water from Amazon. For Amazon, Holy Water. And thank you, Mr. Bezos. Thank you for blessing that. I appreciate you sending me.

Funny. And I got a, what's it called? Like sage? Yeah, sage. I sage the entire house. I've said this before. My neighbor saw me blessing the outside of my house. And I was like, oh, I've gone crazy.

It was the moment I realized I went crazy. I lost my mind. And then also a few years back when Kimmel pranked me with a ghost prank. That's one of my favorite things to watch. I'm sorry. I was calling for him to be canceled at that point. And no one, nobody had my back. Yeah.

Where were you then for me? Those videos, that video is so funny. It's a good, Jack Allison knocked it out of the park with that. Incredible. And I was texting Wags and people thought Wags was in on the joke, but you didn't even know. I didn't know what's happening. You were just, I was like, I hear a noise and he was just like, it's the wind. Don't worry about it, which like seems like it's, he was in on the joke.

Yeah, I had no idea. I was just being dismissive because I knew you were being insane. Well, I wasn't being insane. I wasn't. That's true. Stuff was happening to me. But I haven't, it's harder for me to now watch. Wow.

After I went a little bit kooky. Admittedly, I knew I was going kooky. Yeah. And I had vertigo. There's reasons I thought I was going kooky. Oh, man. And like, and then I realized I was going kooky. And I have, I'm in a much better place since then.

Good. But I haven't the joy of, of like, like, I would turn the lights off in my house and watch horror movies. Yes. And I now, if I'm alone, I'm like, I don't like doing that as much anymore. Yeah. Oh. Yeah.

Yeah. Scared straight. I'm no long. The spookiness is too much for me, Wikes. You're going kooky. You can't go spooky because you're going to go dukey. Yes, the old saying. We got to make t-shirts of that.

Cooky, spooky, dukey. That's the dark triad. Yes, the brown triad. We don't need to relitigate the monkey, but you are a monkey fan. I love it. You're out of your mind. No, it's a. I can see Emilia liking the monkey.

That feels like an Amelia movie. I haven't seen it, but... It's a blast. It's wild. It's funny. It's weird. I loved it. It really didn't connect with me.

And I could see, like, anytime anybody's like, I did not like it, I understand why. Like, I would totally get it. But I just had such a blast. Mono and I were screaming, laughing almost the whole movie. That's awesome. It was so fun. It wasn't enough. There wasn't enough murder for me.

Really? I wanted more murder. There was so much murder now. They had, like, montages of, like, people. For me, it just, like, the volume of it became kind of, I got kind of numb to it, which I guess is maybe the point of it, but it just didn't work for me. Yeah. What about, this is a spoiler-ish. It is.

It's a spoiler if you haven't seen it. Plug your ears. Um, the lady pushing the baby. She's holding one ear. That's not plugging. You're using one shoulder and one finger. Can you show her on camera? She's being insane.

If you move, if you move the cloth around your ear, it'll sound. Oh, okay. I guess you have enough hair, too, or you can kind of do some obfuscation. What about the lady running with the baby carriage and it's on fire? Yeah. And she's like still running with it screaming. That's funny. It's like a scary movie level funny.

Or them being like, the cheerleaders being there and being like, here comes the body. Oh, that's all right. It made me laugh a lot. We were sitting there pretty stone face, Dwagher, me, Gabris, and Stanger, and, Rogers. And Rogers. And Rodgers, this was an action boys, dough boys crossover viewing. Yeah. And we're now the monkey boys.

Now the monkey boys. The monkey boys. And you all hated it. None of us liked it. Yeah. Because I feel I've talked to every single person who went that day and everybody was like, it sucked. I was like, well, oh. Mauna and I saw it twice in like a week.

We loved it. I'll defend it forever. Does hair block sound? Amelia, does hair block sound? Can confirm. Okay. Yes. Yes.

I got to dive behind Adam Con over next time of here. Some spoilers coming. Spoiler pouncing off his fucking. I did see the new conjuring, too. I saw as well. I enjoyed it. Yeah, I thought it was fine. I liked it more than two and three.

Okay. The first one is one of the best. Here's my issue with horror. I wonder if you'll feel the same way. CGI just doesn't vibe with horror movies. It's such a bummer. It's a bummer. I was just talking to, I think it was Mono, about, remember when the haunting came out and

House on Haunted Hill in like 99 or 2000? And it felt like that was like kind of the beginning of like CGI horror. And it was just like, this is not scary. No, it really takes you out of it. Yeah. Do you know what's a good CGI horror movie? Deep Blue C.

I love Deep Blue C. No, you gotta have a, you gotta have a tone with, you gotta, like a... Well, that's a little campier and trashier. It's not as much trying to be scary, although there are some scares in it. Yeah, I love that movie.

Yeah, a lot of fun. The alien movies always pull off CGI okay. I didn't like the recent... You and I didn't, neither of us. I like, I like Romulus. You like Dormulus? Yeah.

No. Are you watching the Alien Earth? Yeah. What do you think? Three episodes in, I like it a lot. Okay, okay. I haven't seen yet. Are you?

Oh, okay. I like it. Let's just say that when we were being a little catty last night, we may have brought up Alien Earth. Oh. Okay. Okay. I usually think Alien Pound for Pound was the best franchise. And then the last one lost me and then Alien Earth isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't into it.

Alien Earth's just not winning me over. Okay. It just doesn't feel like, which is fine. But I'm like, how is it going to be alien? Right. Okay. And it's a, it's a prequel, right, to the first alien movie, yeah. Okay.

The needle drops. I can join it. There's just a lot that I don't know. Yeah, there's a lot of, yeah. Yeah. And it's hard to make it. Those movies are all expensive. Yeah.

Yeah. I don't know. I would be cool if aliens came down. Wouldn't it be a fun thing to have happened in our lifetimes? Like, we make contact with alien life? I think they've come. You think so? I think they have, I think they've come and been like, nah.

Wow. Or I think they live in the ocean. Could be. I like the ocean theory. That's cool. I think they've been here. I mean, there could be the sort of, like, in the same way that we kind of anthropologically, you know, or, you know, try to not disturb certain cultures. There could be like another level of like, hey, we're some society that has some technology that us is unthinkable where they're able to come in.

I mean, you'll see this in Star Trek. They'll come in like basically completely undetectable by us just to, a disdemeanor. just to see what's going on. It could be something like that. But it would be kind of interesting for someone to come down and just be like, hey, what's up? You know? I'm a new kind of guy. Yeah, and like we've been watching you for 10,000 years.

What are you guys doing? Like, what is fucking going on? I'm like, yeah, I know, man. I know, man. The only ship I want to be sucked up into is the comedy mothership. One thing I like a trope I always like in sci-fi. alien contact like first contact sort of movies or like an alien comes down is just like you humans are an interesting species that's good capable of such love and such hatred yes i think it's always

kind of fun like the idea that like those things are unique to us yes yeah yeah where they're so intelligent right they're like we would never even imagine hatred what is war yes yeah love that's i like like the Mr. Burns alien level sort of right right right yeah oh yeah he was very cute I like the old thing of the you know the guy like getting probed and limping I think that's kind of fun oh it is fun yeah yeah yeah yeah like do you believe when people these stories of abduction and stuff I mean no I think it's just sort of I to me I think whatever kind of hallucinatory dreams we have or just sort of like weird sort of

spiritual subconscious experiences we just apply the template of whatever our current culture is. I think it's the same way that like back in the day people would be like, oh, I was visited by an angel or something like that. Now that there's UAPs or whatever people like, oh, is visited by an alien. I think that's probably what's happening. But also, but who fucking knows? I don't know. I'm just speculating.

I brought up the Chargers game to say Wags and I were at the Chargers game That's right And he was looking out And he said There was a This you're bringing this moment up This was a

They were showing a bunch of crowd shots And we're just So we're just seeing hundreds thousands of people On the Jumbo Trong And he's like you ever go to a stadium like this And just think about how insignificant you are That we said to me at the I do constantly

Yeah Yeah I think crowds do that to me too Right because you look at it You're just like Oh each of these people Has their own like internal reality There's a word for this where the feeling or the realization that everyone around you has a life as complicated and vivid as your own and the reality that every single person you pass has that same thing and it just like...

It's staggering. Yeah. I think about that stadium cheering for me, baby. These cheers are for me for cheering for them. Yeah. I do think a lot of times, like, I wonder how many people have murdered somebody here. Yeah. I was just in the airport recently.

It was like pretty packed and I was like... I think that being in the studio, it was like... you kiss in the group. How many people? But yeah, we're like, how many people here, like, have murdered someone and got away with it? Yeah. I could, I, like, I couldn't live with myself.

I think if I, like, if I killed someone, I think I'd just, like, think about that all the time. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. How do you, how would you endure? I don't know. I guess if you're a psychopath, you just like, yeah, yeah, of course,

I fucking got away with it. I'm glad I didn't, you know. Or you just be sad thinking about it when I, you know, you're like, oh, God, I shouldn't have done that. Should have killed it. That guy. How did I do that? I'm sure he scratched my car, but overreaction.

We just started watching a true crime documentary called Mr. and Mrs. Murder. Whoa. On who? I like that. I like the name. Yeah, yeah, about a dude who goes missing in Florida on a lake that has a lot of alligators in it. Wow. Gators.

You just started it? Yeah. Uh-oh. Computer. No, no, no, it's nothing. What the hell was that? What did what kick over there? No, it's just as my, my, yeah, there's like a little cubby.

There's a drawer, okay. With a clipboard that my, don't worry about it. Seems like you were getting nervous when we're talking about killing people. Oh, yeah. Well, you seem to light up when, when, when Betsy mentioned gaitas. Is that what it was? Yeah. Okay.

Oh. Gators. Are you big gatorhead? I mean, it's not particularly, but, you know, it's thematically. You know, we're talking crocodile burn fast. We're talking crocodiles, not alligators, but they are adjacent to the kind of gaitos they got down in the bayou. We just watched Waterboy. Oh, man, Waterboy's fun of head.

It's so far. I hadn't seen it in years. Yeah. Probably like 15 years or something. And it's so great. I'm like, why haven't I been watching this over and over like some of his other movies? It's so good. I like his dad that comes at the end on the tractor.

is good. Or are they driving a tractor? Is that what happened? They drive a tractor after they get married? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's great. It's a good movie. We love that.

We love the Sandman. Who you've worked with you've worked with the Sandman. Yeah. Isn't that nuts? That's fucking crazy. It's so crazy. It blows my mind. You get to do so much cool stuff and it's great because you're so talented.

I love that you. I can't believe. Every day I'm like, whoa, dude. And I live in like East Hollywood And on my street You can see the Hollywood sign So I'll be like driving home And be like whoa dude

Every single day I'm just like I can't believe this man When I go up Gower I like looking at that old Hollywood sign She's a beaut whiggs She's a beautiful sign Bring back You know bring back the love of Hollywood

Sign should say Holly weird As far as I'm concerned Nick I didn't mushrooms up at the Hollywood sign a long time ago. Did you really? I've never done it. I've thought about doing it. Mushers?

Yeah. Well, I told you some of this. Remember, it was with Harris, who's passed away. And he broke out glow sticks. He would, like, break a new glow stick out. And then he told me he would show me the funniest thing I've ever seen. And it was the funniest thing I've ever seen. Yeah.

But it was a black, it was a good time. That's so fun. It was a real Hollywood, real Hollywood moment. That does feel so like. That's so great. I want to do that. This is now like 15 years ago. Yeah.

But it was a blast. I want to do that. It's coming back. Yeah, let's get the fuck out of here. Take some mushrooms. I think you're in the perfect state to take. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. Who knows? Some new neural pathways? It's true. Yeah. Yeah, isn't that what they do? Yeah. I think so.

And I usually do, I get tortillas. And then I'll do jalapinos. Fun. Some onions. and then cheese. I'm on a big, a white American cheese cake. Hell yeah. And then I'll do, I'll put ham, like just deli meat ham,

fold it up like a cassidia, pop it in the toaster oven, open it up, put avocado on it, and Taco Bell hot sauce. Okay. And then I usually, for a side, we'll do, like, tomato. So this isn't like a traditional breakfast, but it feels like you're just getting a bunch of. It's just a me, like, oh, I have this and I'll. Wait, there's no eggs, no eggs? Wow. I have a bunch of friends where they're like, it's not breakfast unless there's eggs.

Right. But I'm more European, I guess. Meets and cheese. It honestly sounds a little like Coloradoy, honestly, in a way. Kind of, I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, that's what I've been doing for the last couple of years. Wow. Yeah. Do coffee in the morning? Do caffeinate? No.

Coffee hurts my tummy. but I will drink Red Bull after like 10 or 11. All right. You know I've been doing for breakfast the last couple weeks? What's that?

Three mambas. Three mambas. That's not particularly nutritious. I know. Ladies and gentlemen, this is mama number three. One, two, three. That's it.

That's the song off. It's just you and your kitchen. Three moms. I, like, used to be able to go, like, wake up and not have to have food for, like, a couple of, till, like, lunch pretty much. Right. But nowadays, I, like, I will feel terrible if I don't get food at me, you know, you know? What about you got? No, I, like, I, I've tried intermittent fasting does not work for me.

I'm so lightheaded. I'm just a person who, like, I wake up and I'm hungry. Yes. And so I will have, like, like, my breakfast, it vacillates. It changes, you know, as my, as I age. But right now what I'm doing is I'll usually either do a bowl of oatmeal with like a cut-up nana in there and then I'll just kind of peter north some real maple syrup on top of it. And they're like, like that's like a very solid like, you know, breakfast, a little bit of dietary fiber.

Not much protein though. So if I need a little bit more protein, like say I'm going to the gym or something like that, I will have maybe like some cottage cheese and like some fresh berries or something. thing. But I've been going a little lighter with breakfast than I used to. I used to always have like eggs and like, you know, like a side greens and maybe a piece of toast or something like that. Now I just have like a little bit smaller scale, but I still need to get something in my body. And I, like, I am someone who absolutely needs coffee. Like I'm so I've just be, I obviously don't need it biologically, but I've adapted to expecting it. So like I just have black coffee first thing in the morning. Yeah. You're a coffee. You're a regular Linda Richmond. I'm a Java Joe. Yeah, you are. You are. I'm a Java Joe. Yeah, you are. I. I have. I. I. I. I. I. I. I I, uh, I, that's good, that's good. That's good. Dias is completely baffled by what we're talking about. You're doing that voice was funny, though.

Nice. They, uh, they, earlier we were talking about the first, I was like, did you play Nintendo? And I meant the Nintendo entertainment system. The NES, the FAMIES. And they didn't, you guys never played the Nintendo real. Yeah, I mean, that was a product of the 80s. I know, but I'm just as crazy to me. I'm like, oh, yeah, of course.

It's like, it's like the Atari was to me. even though I did play the Atari. It's weird to be of the age where your references are dusty. Yeah, where the dominant culture, you know, like every, what's zeitgeisty is people who are younger than you. And like what you're talking about seems like,

I don't know, from a different generation because it is. That was a thing that you don't, like you're growing up and then you're a young adult and you don't expect to ever be in that slot, but of course you age into it. That's just what happens. Yep. Yeah.

I, My breakfast consists of an ermicus and a wally kiss. Cute. Yep. Probably better for you than the Mombus. Yeah. Do you ever do a smoothie? No, I'm not a big smoothie head.

I will do a smoothie on rare occasion. And when we've gotten them for the podcast, I enjoy them. But yeah, I'm not much of a smoothie guy either. And for me, like, making them at home is always, like, such a pain in the ass. Like, I hate cleaning a blender. Yes, it seems like. It seems like so much work. Yeah. I did it for a while.

It was a lot of work. I'm going to, you know, I'm going to do, I'm going to do those yogurt drinks because I got my yogurt intake. Yeah. Gilly likes those. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes. Yeah.

I know that we have a Gert chat. That's right. Where we exchange. With Dunk Town. With Dunk Town. And we exchange pictures of cottage cheese, yogurt, yeah. Oatmeal. I've really fallen off of it, but I looked at it today.

And there was, I think it was a god I had the Trader Joe's. Yes. um yogurt drinks yeah okay yeah i'm gonna get some of those yeah yeah but i don't i don't usually i'm not really a breakfast guy i've been trying to get my sleep schedule back in uh that's so fucking tough one of the new meds i want to just make gives me is giving me insomnia it's why this is my problem too yeah i'm getting like four to five hours a night it's sort of that's a oh god i took i took an ambian this week and uh and not not that i am pushing for people to take ambient but it was sad that it worked so well for me and like god

me on track and I am like I think I need because I was doing Z Quo for a long time but I like you Wags I've taken Lexapro and I'm a little I'm a little wired at night I can't I can't I can't get myself to sleep I'm on I'm on I'm closing I'm the medicine I'm on now is the medication I'm on now as low

well brututrin which is like technically a stimulant so it makes me like hard to fall asleep and then I just sleep in like 90 minute chunks which is a bummer I fall asleep a little bit wake up and then I'm up for a little bit yeah I'm sorry yeah thanks for saying that that sucks Yeah, nice back.

Natalie, trank your ass. I did for, um... Natalie, there's a new update to the blueprints, dunk. She just uses it all the time. I'm done with that, I know you don't like the blueprints. I know I was one that I picked. We had the... No, I admire the effort.

That is a game, but yeah, blueprints, I got exhausted. What's the other ones that you like? There's a new Baldur's Gate update. There's a blue prince thing was fine. I didn't need to note it. I was being pedantic because I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't love that game ultimately. There's the Blueprints is a game that it's a really

incredible design and I understand people who love this game. Yeah. People get mad at me for saying I didn't connect with it. I'm, I, I admire what the dev did. It's, it's basically a game where you're going through a mansion

and as you go, the mansion continues, mansion builds. Okay. So it's kind of like, if you're familiar with me. Kind of like everyday life for me. Going through mansions and stuff like that. you're exploring this weird creepy abandoned house each time you get to a new room

I'm trying over here there's one of one of like three possible rooms that it could be and so it's randomized every time and so like the way that it actually works at all is like really really impressive the thing is it's just got like these the you know these really inscrutable puzzles which I like but just are just such a time sync and so much of it is relying on randomness because of how it's generated there can be times when like you feel like you do everything right and you just got to like, oh, I guess got to do this again. Oh, that would drive me nuts. But it is a really impressive game and some people really love it.

Okay. I just got a PlayStation 5 and I've been playing Astrobot. Astrobot is a delight. Astrobot is one of the most fun games I've ever played. It's a blast. Yeah. I am Astrobat. The tree level, that like sat, that music is so good.

What the fuck you're doing watching your baby's, Your neighbor's baby monitor Just keeping an eye on what's going on in there Calling a fucking direct TV

What are your general soup preferences? Are you a soup fan? I am a big soup fan. I'm trying to think of if I have preferences. I do love a soup with like a noodle and chunks. Sure. I like it feeling very like, yes, here we go. Just like a classic chicken noodle soup.

I love a classic chicken noodle. Yeah. Do you like it? You do a chowder. I do like a chowder. Okay, all right. I get behind a chowder. Yeah, sure.

And like a bisque. I like a bisque. I like, yeah, soup's so good. Seafood and soups just always kind of work for me. Yes, even when I was a kid when I did not like seafood one bit, clam chowder, I was like, hell yeah. I get like clams by like clam chal. Yeah, I don't like, like even now, maybe if they're fried, I'll eat clams. But usually I'm like, no, no, no, no.

But if there's a chowder, I'm like, yeah, dude, give it to me. I love it. Noodle and chunks is a good name for like kids and like a kid, like a kid. like members of the Goon. I mean, Chunks, Chunk is a member of the Goonies. I think there might be a noodles. Is there noodles? Not in Goonies, but like maybe hook or something.

Is there a noodle? Noodle and chunks is a great. Noodles? I mean, brother act. Sister noodles and sister chunks. There's sister noodle, sister chunks in sister trash? What kind of convent is this? Hold on.

report for the bikini competition? Oh, girl. The wet habit contested. We're making this game movie. We got a fucking hit. We got we got go fund me at the bottom. We got a go fund. Yeah, yeah. Please donate to the go fund.

We know a lot of you gave already to Casey's movie, but we're hoping to also crowd fund for Brother, brother, so please. Come on. Should we start a go nun me? It should be a go-nun-mee. Yeah. Yes. Oh, Katie Perry can try to buy the convent from us. She did that in real life.

She's the bad guy. I just learned one of the nuns died during the hearing of that or something. She did, yes. Yeah. She was like at a hearing and passed away. And had a heart attack or something? And I believe Katie Perry says, put me on the record. Good.

Oh, my God. Don't hold me to that. I'm not sure if that's right, but I think I do remember hearing that. Geez, I hope that's not true. It's not a particularly classy response. This was years ago, but yes, she did really die. Oh, it was years ago? Yeah, so it's good.

So it's actually good that I made the joke about the nun dying. That, yeah, that's wild. That's wild. Yeah, it's a wild story. And that nunnery is, or convent is next door to the La Bianca murder house. Is it? I don't think I knew that. I like walking in that area.

I didn't know it. Oh, spooky. It's right next door to the La Bianca murder house. Spooky. I got to fire up shutter. I love Shudder. It's the time of year to get my Shudder rolling. I stay subscribed to show.

I think one of the good streamers. I love Shutter a lot. Yeah. The new It show is coming out. Are you going to watch it on HBO? I will watch that. I'm curious. I'm very curious to see what it's going to be.

Jared Twisted Monthel, which was a couple months. ago, I, uh, and we, we watched the finale at your, uh, your home. Yes, that was so much. It was a blast. We had a little party. You cohabitate with Gilly. Yes. Yeah. Who wrote for Twisted metal. Who wrote on Twisted Metal and was a guest on Twisted Monthel. Yes. It was a blast. We watched it. We watched it. Um, uh, when we were in Toronto, when we worked at a school, there was a bunch of, they shot up there. So there was a bunch of like Pennywise stuff on the chalkboard and stuff like that. Cool. That is cool. That's awesome. Yeah, it's creepy. Oh, that's very cool. I'm excited for it. I'm just curious to see how they're going to. I didn't love the remake movies, but I am excited for the show.

Yeah. What I like about Shudder and those kind of more niche streaming services and you're like something like Mooby too, which has a different sort of vibe to it is you just want some curation. You know what I mean? Because like so many, you turn on these kind of catch-all services. And it's just like,

you're just giving me so much shit. I'm just going to get analysis paralysis. I'm just overwhelmed by all this shit. And also like you're trying to. placate me with the algorithm so you're just assuming that just because I watched one thing that I'm going to watch the exact same fucking thing. It's like

if I like, you know, like, hey, I like this you know, I like this portrait. I like, I like Blue Boy at the Huntington Library. I think there's a beer. And then you're only going to show me the exact same painting over and over again. Just like, give me, like, I want some writing. But you look at something like Shutter and movie is like,

oh, someone who loves film and loves whatever, you know, particular approach the streaming service has is giving me a bunch of different options that I can choose from. And sometimes it's a big, oh, this is a pick. All right, let me just check this out. And I'd be like, oh, that's cool. That's interesting.

I wouldn't have seen this otherwise. Yeah. I love Shudder so much. Yeah. And Criterion channel-wise does that for you. Yes. I love all the Criterion playlist. Yeah.

There's actually, there's a non-playlist on Criterion right now. I'm pretty sure. Cool. Yeah. We got to watch it. Wait, do I have Criterion on my iPad? I think we do. Oh, yes.

Non-sploitation is what it's called. Cool. It's the truth. That's what it's called. Yeah, like 70s and 60s and stuff Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, let's see what you all. We only blue boy I care about is Jake Sully Weggs.

Avatar 3 is coming out. Very excited. You haven't seen Avatar 2. We're one. I'm with you guys. I'm not seeing those movies. Oh, Betsy. You haven't seen them?

No, I don't want him. Oh, man, they're fun. They sound so boring. They're fun? I love the Avatar movies. I think they are kicks. I think they're great. I have it in 3D for the projector that we have,

so you and Amelia can come over and we'll put our little glasses on and we'll watch it. Hey, I got news for you. It's coming back into theaters. Oh, that's probably better. This month. Oh, really? There we got to go. I'll take all of you on Wiger.

What I like, happily treat us to a team trip plus Betsy to go see the Avatar. And John O'Wilson needs to see it. That'd be a lot of fun. I told you that on the set of Twisted Metal, I told the showrunner to protect. tend to fire Jono because he hadn't seen Avatar and he did it and Johno thought it was real and so it just backfired horribly. That's a tough bit to do.

Yeah, it was a bad. It was bad. It was a bad. I made a mistake. Donno was like, wait, what? Really? And I was like, maybe he was acting me. Son of a bitch. You probably was. Now you're getting mad. You made someone else feel bad. Fucking asshole.

Johnno, you're coming. You're coming to Avatar as well. We're going to get everyone who hasn't seen it to the theater. Yeah. The playlist is indeed called an unsploitation on criteria and the films are the devils to the devil a daughter miss 45 alucarda behind convent walls killer nun dark habits great title good benedetta and hoxen and also i see brother act oh my god it's out brother act congratulations hey everybody check it out on criteria channel who the hell is starring in it you are oh shit And you go full frontal.

That's the thumbnail. Do you want to have it? Bottomless? Sisters, I have something to confess. I pull it up and they're like, what's the issue? Wait, what? Hold on a second. Come on.

It's 50 minutes in the movie. Where does, okay, we're talking. ramen today. Where does ramen rank in your soup hierarchy? It's high up there. It's pretty high. And it's, for me, it's always a big treat. Yeah. You know, it's not one that I can eat all the time or that I want to eat all the time, because I want it to be kind of like this decadent, like, I'm getting ramen and I'm going to sleep. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I totally get that. You know, like, I really, really like it. Where does it, how about put me on the toilet. I mean, let me eat that, that boy on the toilet,

the ramen express right through my body because I that it for me is that it's fat it's poor it's it's the broth is mostly fat yeah and I'm I'm getting the rumblies already yeah especially we get that tonkotsu broth that you know that pork based broth is the how about ramen versus soup this is one of these eternal debates now hold on I'm sorry hold on Mitch I'll take that back I'll take that back it's not what I meant to say misspoke ramen ramen this is the This is the actual binary one to present. Versus chowder versus soup as normal. Ramen versus fa.

Okay. I'm a fa man. I love fa. I do love faa, but I get ramen more. Yeah, sure. I can see that. Yeah. Certainly in L.A., there's better, like, ramen options in L.A. proper than there are

faa options. You'd go down to Orange County. There's a lot of great fah. I also usually, if I go get Vietnamese, I usually get a Bon Mie. Yeah, sure. I love Bon Mies so much. Yeah. That I'll even go with being like, I'm going to get fun.

Then I'm like, I need it on me. Bon Me, dude. Bonmies don't fuck you up either in the same way. Have you been to that famous, that one famous? In Chinatown? I think so. There's a famous Bonne. I'm going to look it up.

Like in a, because Gilly and I went to one in Chinatown kind of in the back of a like convenience store. Okay. And it was awesome. Yeah. And, like, the sandwiches are cheap, and they are so good. Yeah. I got it.

I need to ask her. I'm sure Nali has been there and told me about it. And I can't pull it right now. And then she's going to be, like, how, like, we talked about. Yeah, we're like, sorry. We've gone and we love it. Yeah, it's awesome. I'm looking at it.

I'm looking up the plate. I can't. I'm not going to be able to. Vietnamese food, obviously, more than Bonn me and Fah. There's a wide array of so many wonderful dishes. But, like, you know, that that is, like, I think the big two from an American palette, yeah. Both ramen and fah, I had never had until moving to L.A. Wow.

How about that? I had, like, instant ramen, of course, you know. But in Colorado, it was just. Same here. I had never. Real life, like, real deal ramen. Yeah. Real deal ramen was just unheard of.

And that's a thing that's that's happened in our lifetime that we've seen ramen, like become like a you know ramen restaurants become a destination and become a thing that is you know present not just in certain neighborhoods but but throughout the country like like silver like ramen itself uh which was founded in unsonsa boulevard not far from headgum has locations now in arizona georgia nevada north carolina texas and washington i went to the one in Atlanta did you really yeah i was just like looking for somewhere to you know like silver lake ramen yeah why the fuck not is that what I think it is.

And then I walked to it. It's like, it is. And it was great. It's kind of wild that a place that's named after like a specific neighborhood

has just become a national brand. It's so good. It's so good. The Bonn M-Me place, Mi-Y-D-U-N-G. It's spelled M-Y-D-U-N-G. I think so. That's one of the big famous ones.

I think that's, yeah, in China, yeah, I think so. Yeah. We should all go. It was awesome. So, it was really good. I haven't had a bond me in years.

I would love to have a bond me. There's so many, that's, you know, there's so many good, and they're all, but you know what, Wags, the one shot, stop, place is coming back. The bakery, what's it called? Oh, God. You got to be more specific than this. I have no, I'm sorry. Pantry Cafe.

Oh, okay. Is coming back. Pantry Cafe is coming back. This is the, this was a restaurant. This is an institution in downtown Los Angeles. at a point was owned by the former mayor, Richard Reardon. It used to be pre-pandemic, a place that was open 24 hours in cash only. I believe the long-time waitstaff is union, which was part of the reason new ownership wanted

to close it, but it does seem like it's finally reopening. It is one of those things that's just like, there's a few of these that in recent years have been like these beloved L.A. restaurants that are just like, Coles is another one. Coles, I think maybe he's also getting a stay of execution. The norms was going to turn into a fucking, you know, the original norms was going to turn to raising canes. They were either going to turn into a very, like, generic chain restaurant or the whole, you know, a restaurant itself was going to be bulldozed and it's going to be turned into five over one condos with, you know, like a yoga studio on the ground floor. But, but I like, it is, it is nice that the pantry cafe is going to persist for now. This says that the new owner is also going to rehire the old staff and recognize their unions.

That's so nice How about that That's awesome Yeah Well go Anyone who's in L.A. Go then I'm gonna go for sure

It's gonna reopen New Year's Eve 2026 We got some time Oh Oh shit New Year's even It's really far away

Wait really like a full year That's what this says I wonder if they mean New Year's Eve Going in at 2020 Right Yeah Hmm

Yeah because a year That just makes me feel like It won't ever open Is New Year's Eve 26 December 31st 2025 or is it December 31st 2026? Like when you hear that,

what do you think? I think December 31st, 2025. That's what I think too. Oh shit. That must be what that is. But it could be wrong. Yeah, I don't know. I'll find out. It seems weird to announce that specific date if it is 18 or 18. It must be for this. The 31st and the first, I don't

look at the calendar. I'm just not looking at it. Why? It's too confusing for me. I'm just not going to look. I don't even open the app. where, like, where's ramen in your soup hierarchy? Because we're going to talk about some ramen places this month. My soup hierarchy. Yeah.

Hmm. Yeah. The top. Oh, the top. Oh, the top. Favorite soup? No. I love a clam chowder.

Oh, yeah. So it's like maybe eight, like clam chowder is maybe in your S tier. And then you put like the ramen maybe in the A tier. Is that what you're thinking? Yeah. Okay. Look. chicken noodle soup is good, but like, it's so, it's just a thing that we're so used to that

it's not in my, like, special, special. Yeah, and I've become more of a tomato soup person over time. Do you ever put chicken noodle soup when you're not sick? It's like something I really only eat when I'm sick, and I feel like that's what I associated with. It's a great question. And same with matzabal soup, but I like matzabal soup, but I usually only get it. Yeah, but usually it is kind of like, only when I'm sick. I used to have chicken noodle soup regularly as a kid.

As an adult, yeah, I think it's a thing like, oh, I'm feeling under the weather. That's when I lost it out. That's interesting. Why the fuck is that? I don't know. I think that's what I think of chicken noodle soup is like its own thing because of that, I think. Meals, where do you stand? I only eat chicken noodle soup if I, if I don't have dinner.

Like if I, it's like bottom of the barrel. What's in my pantry? Let me see what I can dig up. Chicken noodle soup. I'll dig into this. But I think S tier for me, clam chowder. Yeah. For sure.

Wow. Also, Joda. I'm not going to say no to an Italian wedding soup. Oh, what about a minestrone? And a minestrone. Okay, I've been on a big French onion soup. That's a fun soup. French onion soup to me is S-tier as well.

Yeah, that's a good soup. I mean, it's a lot of, it's... It's so much. It's a cheese soup, yeah. I will also say French onion soup can fall apart in the execution. I've had to French onion soup so I was like, this is a fucking debacle. Yes, sure. Like, they just fuck something up about this.

The cheese is too gummy or whatever. I'm not getting good bites in here. I'm able to like use my teeth to scrape the cheese off of the spoon. I fucking hate that. But that can be fun sometimes. It can be fun, but sometimes it's like this is just like the mixture of components is not really lining up, you know? Yeah.

That's fair. I get it. Yeah. Higher degree of difficulty. I was saying I said rank the soups one time and I said fa ramen chowder in soup. And everyone got mad at me because fa and ramen are soups. But you got what I meant. It's like all the other stupid soups.

No, we didn't. That's the issue. Look, I'm going to make it clear, and then I want you to rank. Okay. Tomato soup, Italian wedding soup, minestrone soup, chicken noodle soup. That's one category under the soup category. Chowders are all, you know, chowders. I don't have to fucking explain chowders to you.

That type of, that style of a fa soup is, which is different, you know, it's different from the soups, the other soups. Like a boring Americanized soups, I guess. is what I'm saying, and then romans. If you had to, if you had to rank those against each other. I mean, it's, it's just like it's so tough because you're talking about like such a, such a broad, such a broad

category and then such narrow like subcategories, you know what I mean? It's fun. It's, it's fun. I'm having fun. It's fun. I don't know, Mitch. Because also you've got soups that are excluded by this. Like a Tom Yum is just like not in the... I was just thinking of

a Tom Yum. That's just not in the calculus here. All right, it's in now. What's Tom Yum? It's like a separate, like Thai soups is like a separate category? Yeah. Okay, so we got, now we got ramen, fah, Thai soups, chowder, and soup. Yes. Tomcahawk.

I love it. Tomcahaw. Maybe tied for first with clam chowder. I love a Tomcah. You didn't have to make it all real. Just want you to rank the fucking soups. Is chili in the, in the, in the, uh, conchouettes? Chilly doesn't get to enter the soup category.

Chili is not a soup. Because is it kind of a stew as well? Or like that's that's own thing. Is chili a soup? Is stew a soup? Stew is a soup. Stu is a soup. You think chili is a soup?

If you put enough water in it, I think. Okay. If you put enough water in your chili? Chili is not a soup. What is it? It's chili. It's chili. It's just chili.

It's its own thing. According to the internet, stews are not soups. Okay. They're technically different. Because of the amount of liquid in them. But is this the Google AI that you're trusting? It is.

It is. But also the soup subreddit seems to feel the same way. Got it, got it. Rachel Ray would make a stoop, an in between of a stew and a soup. That's pretty good. Rachel Ray's invented language was a lot of fun back in the day. We would play drinking games to it in college. EVO.

Yep. Anytime she said EVO or like, yeah, just we would just pre-game to Rachel Ray. Extra virgin olive oil. Oh. A.k.a. Mitch olive oil. I'm not

extra virgin. How could you be extra virgin? How do you tell me? You know, you join, you become a nun. Do our nuns virgins? No, I don't think they can fuck. I mean, but you could

have fucked and then become a nun. I believe so. All right. I think so. Get out of your sister. I think so. I don't know. Watch I become a nun. Would that be wild?

Do you hear Betsy lives in a convent now? And just like that that convent is just like there's like music blaring from you. You're like, just having fun up there. It's been like the first 60 years of your life just getting your back blown out at every opportunity. And then join a convent. I'm ready. I'm ready to marry God. That is so funny.

We'll add this to Brother X. This is absolutely a sister trash. That's sister trash. I, Mitch, I will entertain your exercise. And I think... This is tough now. I think I would put... I think because there are just so many possibilities within it,

I think it would put soup number one. Wow. I just think they're... Oh, because there's so much. I actually don't even think I would. There's a lot of good, there's just a lot of good ones. But I'm just like thinking about all the stuff that's in there. And are we saying bisks are under chowders?

Sure. Yeah. Okay. Oh. I think it might say soup, fow chowder, ramen. But I do, I still like ramen. It's funny. It's funny that ramen is maybe like, this is the most delicious of all of them.

But then it will go lower my ranking just for stomach in the amount I have it. It's very heavy. Yeah. Yeah, it's, yeah, it feels very much like, okay, I'm dedicating a night to ramen. What are you putting in your clam chowder? Are you going Tabasco sauce? Oh, yeah. You know, I'm a bit of heat seeker, so I'll just, I'll fucking dump some, uh, some there.

I'll dump some tobacco in there. Yeah. Some black pepper and then I'll throw some oyster crackers. Yep. Yes. Yum. Bread bowls? How are we with bread bowl?

I like a bread bowl. I like a bread bowl. I don't finish a bread bowl, but I like to have some of it. Yeah. And I like the really. Like the taco salad that comes in the big shell, it's like, I don't eat all of the shell, but man, it's good. I like that I have it. Yeah.

We would be, our society would be much better if all of our plates and utensils were edible. We could eat them all. We could eat them all. Can I say one thing I do in terms of plusing up soups, I will always take a bite first as it comes. So like, like, oh, I get this chowder. I'll take a bite of this as is. Okay. And then I'm going to like, just to see what, like, oh, let's see what this is.

How much tobacco do you need? Exactly, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Have you ever been like, I don't need to put anything in this? Sometimes you go to like a really nice, like fish house and you have a little bite. I'll just take this as it comes. This is good. Maybe you've got some crackers or something to go drizzle them in there.

But like, I don't need to make. This doesn't need much at all. I'm full, but my mouth is watering. It's so I love talking about food. I went to Joe Beef in Montreal, which is just an excellent restaurant. If you're ever in Montreal, go to Joe Beef. Joe beef. And it was on Anthony Bourdain's No Reservation.

Right. And I think, like, Jess Jordan was like, you've got to go to Joe. So I went, and I've been a bunch now. And they gave me this, like, squash bisque inside of a squash. Wow. And at the bottom of it was, like, truffle. And they're like, you have to eat a little bit. And then you have to dig around and get the truffle.

it was so good It sounds fucking awesome It was so good I'm not even the biggest truffle guy But in certain contexts I almost did truffle today I almost did too And then I was I was a little like

That might destroy a toilet There was kale in it It's usually what I get Where I'm like yep Yeah the kale will really The kale is gonna hurt me no matter what The kale will really get me dude Yeah that's what I was afraid of

But it is a place where the two people who are behind it, chef Jotaic and chef Thomas Iono, were, like, really, really passionate about it, studied the way it was actually made and do what is, I think, considered by, you know, by a lot of enthusiasts to be a pretty authentic version of it, at least by American standards.

The menu has some appetizers like Yos and Karage and some non-soup bowls. But for crocto burn fast, we are only eating soups. Although Emma broke the rule. Emma broke the rule. Sorry. I got my usual silver lake ramen order that I get all the time. So I just got my comfort meal. You just got like a standard bowl.

You got a sober bowl. Yeah. We took a ruler to your knuckles. Yeah, Mitch smashed my hand with a ruler. And then got a boner. Not good or not connected, I don't know. He keeps saying it's a crucifix, but I don't. I've never had a boner during doughboys ever in my life, except for maybe the pandemic years when we were all at that.

Everybody was having boners at home. You were fucking tubin during our records? I wasn't tubing. You were tubing. Who knows what was going on down? I was just saying. I brought a tubing today. I was not, I've never tubin during a doughboys record or any podcast record for that.

Oh, yeah. Good. Good. And there we, let's continue. Yeah, let's continue. You know what? Thank you. Thank you. Betsy, you got to show you ramen.

Show you a chicken broth. And you got it with pork, you got rid of the bamboo shoots, but added brocolini. Yes. I also got to show you ramen, but I got the show you on fire ramen again because I'm something like a heat seeker. Yes. This is the spicy clear chicken broth. and also has some jalapeno

and this had a good amount of heat to it I was feeling it at a certain point which I liked I also like that these come with a with a seasoned egg sometimes the egg is an add-on but them being a default here it's so fun

I love the egg I love the egg too I got an extra egg I almost got an extra egg yeah you got the classic ramen with pork you got extra pork and added a seasoned boiled egg and Amelia what did you say to me

the perfect order you said Perfect order. And you had gotten it yesterday? Yeah, I got two days ago before we even decided what we were doing. I got extra pork, extra egg. It's the way to go. I always get extra seasoned egg on my ramen. That's like one of my favorite parts.

It's not like slightly soft. I love it. It's such a hoot. Can I be honest with you? Yeah. I couldn't tell if you were dealing with the heat or you were just going through it when you were eating lunch. I couldn't tell what the, I looked at you were kind of looking down. Lil from Colomelo from Colomino.

I couldn't tell I was like he's really looking into his soup and I don't know what's going on here We're having a good time Yeah you seem to The heat seeker seemed to be defeated there No I mean I finished it but it was like I got the level two of three

And it was a good burn to it which I like You know that's what I want Here's one thing I will say As someone who generally avoids pork That is where ramen gets dinged a little bit because I do like a show you broth, but I do feel like the pork broth is just always going to be better. It's just so rich and I don't know. I mean, like, I've had it sometimes and, you know, there's ways I can kind of rationalize it and don't feel great about it because, again, you know, but I like, it is so, it is such a core element to it and it's so fucking good and rich and nourishing. even though it's so heavy.

So when I'm not having the pork broth, I do feel like ramen suffers in comparison, even though I do still like a show you. I got to tell you that things are happening in there right now. Are they? Yeah. Oh, no. There's the factory.

Things are, things are. They're on overtime, man. Yeah. Lintin, dint, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da. Oh, yeah, I know that vibe. I love pork so much And I feel so bad about how much I love it I know it's tough

But just talking about My mouth is a lot I love pork Yeah anything pork I'm like this is the greatest thing I've ever had The thing is it is delicious And I like it you feel You feel conflicted

Because you know Pigs are this seem to be intelligent animals But with their but I mean I don't know So we're fucking cows You know I mean like it's like I think we all are Except for the people who are like just fucking assholes, which is, I guess, most of the country.

But except for those people, I think we're all doing, we're making our own moral choices, and we're all doing the best we can. I feel like if you're trying, you take just kind of like a harm reduction approach with whatever it is. I don't know. I think you can feel all right about yourself. It's always tough, though, when food is just like, it's, when something's just there and you want it sometimes, it's like, I don't know, what are you supposed to do, you know?

I do admire people who have an absolute, like, ironclad rule, like something they will never violate that does like that moral code that clarity really impressive i'm so impressed by that especially when it comes to like food yeah i'm like but food is so fun yeah food is the best it's uh you know the reason that i mean what else am i going to do on this earth uh you know i like food it feels like that kind of right it's like all i can do is just eat good food and have fun yeah we're just looking like from one meal to the next basically yeah yes it hasn't changed much since our hunter-gatherer days, Weig. Wow, well said, Mitch.

I, this is not my favorite ramen in L.A., but I do, it is, I, I remember, there's a lot of great Roman in L. The first time I tried it, I was like, meh, I want to see a little bit more of this place. And then I went with Bobby Lee

one time and I really enjoyed it. I think that was the first time that I really, we were having fun, it was a good time. And then, and I don't have it often. You know what I mean? but it's also just that thing I don't have ramen off. Right, right.

But I got to tell you, it was really good today. It was hit today. I really liked mine. It was really, really yummy, yeah. It was really, really good. I like the, it's got the nice thin noodles,

which I really like. You can get a lot in your mouth, and that's a good feeling. Also, this is one of those things where, you know, ramen is better on site, but the way they package it, the way they separate the elements and then you, you know, they give you a big bowl with enough room to fit everything.

It's not like sometimes these places, it's like, oh, this is going to be a sloppy mess. I can only use some of the broth. I get a portion it. Here you got plenty of room for everything in one big reservoir. The broth is separate from the noodles and the proteins and your veggies. And you combine that sandwich. There is a little broth trough that you can explore into.

And so it travels really well. That's going in the movie for sure. I love the green onion That the nuns eat from I love all the green onion in it I love the micro cilantro and the lime And you know A little bit of seaweed

Which came in a fries bag for some reason I like having that too What's micro cilantro Tiny cilantro? Yeah it's like I guess so yeah Micro cilantro You're like it's normal size You ate her.

Yes. The micro cilantro wasn't that tiny, though, wasn't it? It's pretty big. The fries bag was strange, but it kept the seaweed's crisp until it went to your... I also liked them being like, it's an option if you want to put it in or not. That's true, yeah. Did you put yours in?

I did not. I don't mind it when it is in there, but I was like, well, okay. I'm not a huge seaweed guy, but in the ramen, I like it. Yeah, I like it. A little saltiness. It's like the, it's almost like the spinet. It's, you know, I can almost barely taste the difference. I, I just did the original wags and I, and I, like, and with the extra pork and extra egg, and I loved it.

I was, I was very happy. Yeah, it was really, really. A.M, you got, this is one of those things. You just talk about. I was like, oh, man, it was really fucking good. I mean, like, yeah, it's just, you know, what, what are you going to say? But, again, just reader, I did really like the heat on it. You know, the, the chicken is, like, not the most exciting protein in a, in one of these. And I almost, like, wish I'd just gotten tofu, because, you know, like, but, but, like, it was, it was fine. It got the job done. There was certainly an ample portion. I do opt out of the corn. I just don't like, I like corn in certain

context. I just don't like it in a ramen for whatever reason. Amelia, you got the blaze ramen. You also got something a little bit spicy. This is the pork broth with a little bit of extra heat. This also has a spinach green onion and bean sprouts, which I also like in a ramen. It should add to mine. And what did you think of that bad boy? Really good. I'm pretty sure it's the same as the classic, but with just more heat in it. Right. Yeah. I love it. It's delicious. It feels like nectar. Yeah. was it crazy hot or pretty like pretty true no it's normal yeah yum you're more like

superman today sup wow Mitch because I'm wearing for our audio listeners I'm wearing a Superman t-shirt which I got for free at work and uh put that in the movie too yeah that's in the movie so it's like it's like you did a nice little pun there on my apparel yeah yeah yeah that's really fun I am like Superman dear Lord oh boy we're getting through it um uh why i mean should we get to final thoughts on yeah i mean what else what the fuck else can we say yeah i mean everyone came in you know everyone in the you know headgum was there was some activity of headgum today it's true there were a lot of people there's so many people there's fucking bustling scared me and there was a lot of

hipsteries hey man hey man bro good to see you what's up Hey, bro. Dude, that's my favorite spot. That's my guy. You guys are eating at the spot. You guys are eating at the spot, man. Bro. We're going to do a podcast, man.

Come on, guy. Come on, hipsters. Damn hipsters. Everyone did come in and comment how, like, they're like, that's like my favorite ramen spot. Yeah, I walked in and multiple people were like, dude, good one today. Yeah, man. Yeah, man.

Yeah, yeah. It's so good. I didn't give a single bite to one of them This was weird Do you remember that hipster Who was like he was just smelling the ramen And he just came in floating in Horizontally

It smells good bro Bro, I'm floating man Raman's making me float man Yeah They just turn them around How we turn around We turn around He's out

Hey thanks man Betsy, you've done the podcast before. We will each go around, give our closing arguments on Silver Lake Ramen and give it a score from zero to five forks. However, because it is soup month, because it is croc dough burn fast, I think instead of forks, we should do something more soup appropriate. Well, wags. Yeah. I have a pitch. Yes.

Soup forks. I think soup forks is perfect. Soup forks is awesome. Zero to five soup forks. Okay, okay. Well, I got to say, I think I'm going to give it four soup for. Oh, I don't know, maybe five because it was on, it was so good. You can do halfs too, remember.

I know, I know. No, I'm going to go big. I'm going to say five. Wow, all the way up to five. It like really hit the spot. It was so tasty. Yeah. The pork was incredible.

The egg was incredible. It was really, really good. Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to go five. Wow, five forks. Five soup forks. I'm going big. Soup forks.

Now, we could do ladles. We could do chopsticks. We could do spoons. We could do spoons. But I think we should stick with soup forks. Okay, great. I like soup forks. Do the spoons that you get with ramen sometimes or with, like, different, the, like, you know, like the dumpling spoon?

Like, it's the extra deep ceramic spoon. Do those have, like, a special? Those are fun. They must. I love those spoons. I do too. Those are a hoot. Yeah, those are very fun spoons.

Like the miso soup? Yeah, yeah. But unfortunately, there's no way to figure out what the name of them are, so we're going to go with soup forks. Wow. I think that might be what they're called. Soup fork. I like soup forks.

I can't believe we already did this before. I'm looking at the doughboys wiki at my intro. I was like, hey, how fuck. What is my new, what is my angle going to be this time? I almost wish you didn't know that and you wrote another one and we could see if you We would have written the same thing again. That would be so funny. Love our guest, Sierra.

I work with Sierra. Very funny, you know, talented comedian and writer. Just like the specifics of that episode. Yes. It was last year, my man. I know. It's fucking crazy.

Something's wrong with my brain. Mitch, what do you think? I'll go last. You're going to go last. I want to, and Emma, you know, you make your own rules. what would be your fork score for Silver Lake Ramen?

Weep this out. Can't be heard. I can't say because I didn't get soup. No, I have had the ramen before. I'd probably give it like four forks. You go four forks. Amelia? Maybe four and a half.

I think it's a five-four. You go five-fours. I'll go four and a half. You go four and a half. When we did it with Sierra, first off, there is a really cute pick of Gemmy with some ramen.

Oh my God, you're perfect Gemini. Look, that's my bowl. I got the same thing. You got the exact same. same thing. Wow. Yes. Wow.

That's cute. Shout it to Benode who maintains the Doe Boys Wiki, of course. When we did it last time, Sierra gave it four forks, Mitch you gave it four forks, and me, designating myself, Mr. Soup, a bit of canon that has fallen off, but I think that should be surfaced for crock dough burn fast. I am the burger boy, aka Mr. Soup, aka Mr. T. I gave it four forks.

Mitch, you gave it four forks. There was a golden plate club all around. With this revisit, it did impress me. I will say this was a really, really great bowl of ramen. I loved how hot it was. I loved how, you know, the dense with flavor it was. I think every component was high quality. I think it traveled really well.

The thing is, there was some really good ramen in L.A. I know. And we might visit some other places. You know, we might talk about some other places. And so if I think about it in context of, What we have locally. Oh, dude, these listeners that bet on platinum play club, dude, they're pulling their hair out right now, man.

I think when I contrast it with what we have locally, it doesn't quite get to the five forks realm for me. But I could see it, I could see an argument for being five forks because it is a chain that is a little bit larger in scale, at least domestically that some of these other ones. That said, some of these chains, I believe like a daikokuya has a lot of outlets that are,

that are, you know, in Japan. and just a few in L.A. I could be wrong about that. But that's the kind of place I'm thinking about in comparison to Silver Lake Raman, which is still no slown. Which I don't think we have ever done. I don't think we reviewed it.

Incredible. So good. I love that place. That's a five soup forker for me. Yeah, I am going to give Yeah, big time. Silver Lake Raman for this iteration, however, a slightly improved score.

I'm going to go up from four forks to four and a half soup forks. That's where I'm going to land in my 2025. review. Mitch, what do you think? That's, we love that. We love that growth. Wags. The market, everything these days is about gross. It's really good. It's really good. I thought that I was going to be the deciding vote on two five forkers, two five soup forkers, but that's no longer the case. I think what it's trying to do, it really does well. And I think that it's, it's a, you know,

I think it's a really good bowl of ramen. Yeah. And I can't. I can't go below four, I was four for forks, and I'm going to go four and a half soup forks. Four and a half soup for, so it stays in the Golden Plate Club here during Crocdo Burn Fah S. So congratulations, Silver Lake Ramen. Yeah. Yeah. What a hoot to revisit, even if we've done it in the recent memory. Not even a year ago, right?

Was it a year ago? It was a little over you. May 24. Okay. You should just do it this whole month. And Wigar is continually being like, we do. like, we did it last week. Oh, my God.

Does Croc Doe Burn Foest end with you in a straight jacket? We're wearing the gator costume. We haven't reviewed Silver Lake Ramen, I tell you. We've never reviewed it. I tell you. Benode, who's in charge of the... He's in charge of the Dough Boys insane asylum and the Wikipedia. I just got him in a big net

That was our review You song is in the cell next to you I'm thinking of who's in the Drop King, Bubmain I'm trying to think all the people and the dough boys The whole rogues gallery

Yeah Roblo is there Roblo is there All right Hey that was our review of Silver Lake Ramen We got a segment We're gonna take a name

Some say Roblo's video camera is still rolling When we He got up and walked away and the camera was still rolling. Oh, my God. All right, he's gone. It was just a video of his empty room.

He was pulling it to a bin. That's so funny. He was like, I'm going to go get in and out burger right now and got up and left. And it was still just rolling. And you're like, I guess someone will take care of that from at some point. We should rejoin it. Should we rejoin it? See what happens.

It's still live. All right, we got a segment, which we're going to take one moment to set up. All right, we're back. Things have appeared. That's right. Time for the return of a segment. From HeadGum Studios in Silver Lake, this is cereal. A segment told one bowl at a time.

This is a correct call for the penitentiary from Captain Crunch. I walked in and Tukan Sam was lying in a pool of blood Yummy Mommy was in there sucking himself off Okay Amelia copy pasted the above into an email as quote

Serial segment copy And so I read it verbatim That's really good I looked up the last time we did it And I just wrote it down All right great That's canon now That was great

So we have the Kellogg's Wednesday Cookies and Cream cereal on the Kellogg's Wednesday Howland Confetti Cake cereal. Anybody seen Wednesday? I have not. You've maybe seen the pilot? I watched the pilot. Yeah. Yeah. I was kind of bummed because she leaves her fun family.

Oh, that's a bar. And I was like, I want to see like Gomez being funny. And Uncle Fester a little bit more. Yeah, we've got to see Fester. Yeah. Let me say this. First off, the Wednesday Howland Confetti cake, Enid. I guess Enid is a character

from the Wednesday IP is a like that that box is like very this is very and I think Matt Singer has pointed this out wicked coded you know what I mean it's like very much like we're trying to do the contrast between

Glinda and Alphabet but we but you know we've certainly got that with Enid here and then Wednesday who's got the cool got got the cookies and cream flavor which I already mentioned I do like the box design of the Wednesday one I think that looks pretty cool yeah I agree

goth box it's also a little bit like uh it looks a little Harry Potterish in my mind yes I will also say I like the return of of like a sense of fun to this I like yes I like fun cereals I was saying that beforehand I was gonna say we should eat the the the fruity one yeah let's see let's start here oh yes so that's the Enid one is the yeah this confetti cake yeah confetti cake this milk is supposed to turn purple and does not look particularly purple to me I guess a little bit am I just looking a little purple yeah maybe if it sits longer is this what is this a can do like an apple jacks what's this reminding me of

it's a little apple jacksy it's pretty good it's pretty good it's not bad it's not as potently sweet as I might expect from confetti cake it's pretty good mine's a little purple my milk's a little purple yeah mine's turning purple for sure I'm gonna take a minute to get there

mine's purple you see that I think that's a snack I have a bowl of that yeah that's pretty great pretty yummy I would love to put it on ice cream, too. That's, I agree. Yeah, this would be fun as an ice cream topper.

I'm shocked. That's pretty good. Whoa. Would you use that milk to make ice cream? Whoa. Does it Milk Bar do that? They do the cereal ice cream. That would be awesome.

It's so good. The cereal milk milkshake, I think, comes with, like, crumbled cereal on top, and it's fantastic. So I always think about that with different, like, milks like that. It would be really great. Yeah. I want to eat more of it. It's good. I can't stop.

I'm going to switch over to the Wednesday. Okay, I'm going to try this. Cookies and Cream. There's marshmallow bits in the... Love marshmallows. Are they little ghosts? They're a little ghosts. They're a little ghosts, I think.

Good. Is cereal soup? Mmm. I was wondering this. Why not? Why not? I don't know. I guess I wouldn't say oatmeal or, like, cream of wheat, or cream of rice was soup.

I wouldn't say like grits or soup. Yeah. But for some reason, cereal kind of feels like it's the same principle as soup. I can tell you, Wednesday. It's not very tasty. Doesn't always pay to be goth. Oh, man, why does this suck? It's fucking bad.

And it also, like, maybe I'm putting, it looks like little pieces of shit. It doesn't help that. It doesn't help that. That doesn't help the taste of just being like, what is this? It doesn't help that it looks like little shit nuggets. It looks like little pieces of shit with little globs of bird shit. Oh, and it's got a weird, like, after. It tastes like dirt cereal.

It really does taste like dirt. I kind of like, I kind of like, too. I would never think it's good. I am kind of addicted to it for some reason. Oh, man, that's pretty putrid tasting. That's rough. Two very polarizing flavors, it seems. It's rare, it's rare.

It's rare. It's rare when you get something that gets chocolate so wrong. Yeah, especially in cereal when they've nailed it. Yeah, it feels like I was like, oh, we're going to get cocoa puffs with some marshmallow. The marshmallows are so sugary. Marshmills are super sweet. That's an intense bite of cereal. I wonder if that was part.

Did they overthink it? Did they mute the chocolatey, you know, wood part a little bit to try to have a little bit more contrast with the super sweet, super potent marshmallows? And maybe they overcorrect it. I really don't like that. I kind of came around one. You bitch loves it. I'm going to go with a slight snack for it. Is there any copy on here to detail what exactly is going on here?

It feels like it definitely came from that dark room. It does. You know, it tastes very spooky in the sense of like, ew. It tastes like a nasty haunted house. We're little turds can accidentally get on the conveyor belt. Yeah, and you're like, uh-oh, we're eating those little turds. So they've got little games on the back of each box. that you can play.

You can do a little, a little, you know, like find everything, find everything that's hidden in this room. Can I see wags? Yeah. Fun. But this also has on the side, fun facts. Fingfield Enid's fun facts. When Enid wolf's out, she stays fashionable with pink and blue fur and multicolored claws.

She's a fucking wearer. She's a wolf? What the hell's going on a Wednesday? She's a fucking wolf, man. Make that look like that, man. I know this is silly to say just from hearing this, but our world sucks. Enid and the actress who plays her are both fans of K-pop music. Oh, that's fun.

Enid wears pink shoelaces with her Neverbore Academy uniform. Enid's first words to Wednesday were, howdy, roomy. They're roommates. Oh. So, I mean trivia where it's like, I watched the first episode, and that's all I'm giving you guys. She said, howdy roommate, is that cool? I don't know. Some freelancer has paid $150 to, like, come up with these.

I watch one episode I say, yes. Listen to these ingredients. Yeah. Uh-oh. Whole grain yellow corn flour, sugar, cocoa processed with alkali, accidental little turds.

Okay, now we're talking. It's nice to throw accidental in there. Yeah. Yeah, no, they didn't mean it. Yeah. Okay, when you woe, you know, here's some more fun facts of the Wednesday box. Wednesday never blinks in the show.

I like that detail. That's fun. That's like trivia. That's like David and AI. That's bad. Wednesday's typewriter is from Germany. That's such a great performance for a young Haley Joel Osmond in that movie. Oh, that's fantastic.

Our buddy of Haley Joel, yeah. Past Doe Boys guest. Wednesday's typewriter is far from Germany, so the keys are different than in ones in English-speaking countries. Okay. The Poe Cup team names are based on titles of Edgar Allan Poe Stories. Well, that follows. Okay. Good.

In season one, episode seven, Uncle Fester mentions the Kalamazoo job. Kalamazoo is a real city in Michigan just 21 miles from Serial City home of Kellogg's cereal Wow This one I don't know if I can read this one Oh no

Does it say the Adam's family started When Uncle Vester farted Mitch does not say that What it says I'm just worried Because you're feeling a little kooky This one might be too spooky Oh no You might fill your pants up a dokey

My duky. Wednesday was born on Friday the 13th. Oh! I raised the ceiling. I think Kellogg's comes in. Be like, yes. We got more Wednesday. You make thousands of boxes with these little turds.

Thank you so much. Solid snack to the Enid, hardwack to the Wednesday. Yeah. And I'm surprised because I would have thought just based off of their appearances, you know, Wednesday, that's more my vibe. Same, same, same. But that ended one was pretty tasty. Don't judge a cereal by its box.

Thank you. I think you guys should try the chocolate one again. I'll take one more bite of this, but I think it's pretty disgusting. I'll get a little ghost in there. Well, I hate it. I hate it more. It was awful. I think it got better.

Is the milk from your first one more purple now? Yes. Oh, thank you. They're both kind of... Ooh. No, you don't like it. It really tastes like... Dirt?

Like a fire or so... Yeah, it does. Dirt. Yeah, just kind of like old. Like an attic. Soil. Does the milk on the Wednesday one turn black? It turns a little gray, yeah.

Yeah. It is pretty gross. I ate both of my bowls. Yeah. Yeah. The dais is having some dry versions of these cereals. I actually love to eat dry cereal. It's a good high stance.

I'll just, like, be out of a box. Yeah, for sure. I never have liked dry cereal. I need it a little wet. Honey O's are one of my favorites to eat dry. Oh, that's fun. Yeah. Yeah. It depends on context.

Amelia, you're making a face. The brown one tastes like cigarettes. Yeah, it does. Yeah, but it tastes like ashy or stuff. Pretty fucking nasty. Oh, yeah. It tastes like whoever was making this was smoking a cig. Yeah.

I like SIG, so maybe that's why I like it. Oh, yeah. You love eating cigarettes. I love eating cigarettes. Hey, are you done with that? Don't throw it on the ground I only eat one or two cigarettes a year now I don't do it like I used to be like two packs a day

I have a friend from high school who in college started eating cigarettes for like I was like a dare That's funny He said me a picture, I'd be like I'd eat cigarettes Why girls are all right dude College is going great for you That is so funny

Fucking full cigarette in his tongue Tobacco was like open What is he? I wonder what his job He probably, this man probably has a family now. Yeah, he's like a scientist. RFK. Bagger's college, buddy. Cigarettes are back, but I don't want to eat a cigarette.

But I will, I like, Mitch, we're at that, we're having that hang last night. We're sitting it outside. There's a guy who's smoking. I was like, man, I'll fucking rip a cigarette right now. You flick the button to the street. Yeah, that's a bummer. I was like, quit, don't litter. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, but it smelled pretty good. Yeah, I do, especially, like, if I'm drinking and hanging out, it is a little like, yeah, yeah, that's fine with me. Let's go. Ooh, with that ramen, I'm going to be starting my own Adam's family pretty soon. Yeah, Uncle Festering up for stuff. That was serious. Wait, did you have any verdicts back there? Well, I was going to add that it does grow on me, the cigarette one.

Wow. You're addicted. Meals got. Meals gets it. I like the marshmallows and the cigarette one. Like, this kind of reminds me of the Lucky Charms marshmallow. Yeah. Similar vibe, and I like those, but I don't, that's a whack.

I like the Edid one, though. Yeah. Does Wednesday smoke in the show? Maybe that's the connection. Is she a big smoker? Netflix show for children. Just chain smoking the whole time. And everybody being like, you look so cool doing that.

That was cereal, just like a restaurant I buy your feedback. That's up with a feedback. Today's email is from Peters, plural, I guess. Peters writes, Hey, Dofam, we know your thoughts on consuming human flesh, but I was curious about your tastes in extinct animals. Oh, yeah.

If you could bring back one animal from extinction to become a food source, which do you think would be the most tasty? Wow, intriguing question. I mean, it would be fun to have a Bronto burger just to say, yeah. I was going to say, Brontosaurus. Bronto burger. Yeah.

A Bronto burger. That's good. I mean, I guess larger, if we're going back to the gaitas, you know, like a larger reptile can be a little bit more toothsome because you think about eating smaller reptiles and it's like, I feel like they're maybe too lean. You know, it's not really necessarily something I want to eat. So I could see a dinosaur maybe being yummy, but I, oh, boy, I don't know. I'm thinking of like the extinct mammals.

Right. And I wonder if like, you know. Would you want to have, like, a mammoth? Like, I feel like I'm always seeing, like, things of Neanderthals with, like, fucking spears. They're all group hunting a mammoth, and maybe that was just, like, a big bounty of meat. Or would that be just so blubbery that it's not a particularly yummy thing. It's like the fat is nutritious and will nourish you, but it's not particularly yummy. Didn't, like, some people eat, like, frozen mammoth meat, like, a couple of years ago?

I want to say something like, they found, like, a frozen mammoth. Now I might be making this all up. it's from an improv show I did I'm pretty sure but yeah like I think like scientists uncovered some like mammoth meat and like ate it maybe That's amazing

I don't know now I'm like oh no This could be way off But I kind of freak out of like Is it too close to elephant Yeah that's what I worry about That kind of freaks me out Ethically yeah Yeah because I mean like

I don't want to hurt a fucking elephant What I want it Didn't the dodo bird go extinct Because they were like slow and delicious And people would eat them Yeah that would be an interesting one Because they used to be everywhere I like I'm also like

There's some weird like ones there were They were just like fucking huge sloths Like gigantic fucking sloths And just like you know Like humans I like hunted them to extinction As they did fucking everything But like like what would a 12 foot sloth Taste like you know

I wonder Maybe maybe good I'm trying to think of well But what are those, what are like the, what's like the, the Nautilus? You know what I'm talking about? A trilobite? Yeah. That's what, that would be my answer.

I would eat trilobites. You always bet on, you always bet on, what's your, you always bet on? I always gamble on fish. Always gamble on fish. I weren't they're little too bug-like, but I guess the sea bugs can be pretty yummy. And they have bite in the name. That's true. Wow.

So they're asking for it. They're asking to be eaten. Hey, come on. This one, I'm, oh, God, I can't say it. A mollusk. Uh, um, I'm, no, I'm, no, I can't, I can say mollusk. I was reading mollus while you said, and I was like, are you reading the same thing? How would, how would you say that?

A mana, a mona, um, a monaidae, um, a monaidae, um, a monaidae, what is it? Monoidae, it's a little, uh, it's a little prehistoric shit. Oh my God. It's a little prehistoric, like, uh, it would be like a little, it seems like it would just be like, you know, like if you put some, uh, you know, minionette sauce on it and stuff it. Yeah, like a, like a sea snail or something like that. You think there were, like, giant shrimps or something? Yeah, like, that's what, sort of they, like, some things used to be smaller, some things used to be bigger, but the ones that used to be fucking big, I'm interested in.

Yeah. There is a Reddit thread on this, but all of these, like, like, mostly it's like these, these guys are saying, like, these birds, these kind of dolphin-like creatures, and then this big pig. Ooh, I would do a big pig. Are they talking about eating them, or are they talking about? Oh, no, they're talking about eating them, yes. Okay, yeah, yeah, because, like, like, I think you'd want to map it on to things that we, nowadays. You know, that's why I think the dodo

is a pretty good argument. Big pig. Big pig. Big pig. Big bacon. Big bacon. Here's one, the Western black rhinoceros which was declared extinct in 2011. It would be great to bring that one back just to eat it. We brought one, we brought two bad.

And we ate them into extinction. And we eat them up in one night. Oh, this comment probably gives the most in-depth answer for what mammoth would have tasted like. Oh, maybe that's what I was thinking of. I swear they ate some, though. The comment mentions human flesh, eating human flesh, which we talked about. Betsy, would you eat a person depending on the, like, the situation?

Oh, my God. Imagine, you know, maybe my answer is Neanderthal. It would be interesting to see, like, what would it extinct, you know, like human tastes like? Whoa You know Whoa Is that one going to bring one back And he's like

He looks at us and he's like Oh shit like all scared And then we're going to eat the fucking Neanderthal He knows here we go again Close enough to us Yes right Us eating A Homo sapian

But I also don't want to eat like a gorilla You know that feels weird a chimp Yeah yeah no It's gonna be more human than chimp If we're gonna eat it Okay no Are you getting trouble if you brought back... Nobody ate mammoth meat?

Nobody ate mammoth meat. Shit, man. If you brought back a Neanderthal and then killed it and ate it, would you get in trouble? I think you probably would. Would that be murder? I don't know. I can't tell. It feels like you're in all the power of it, right?

I guess if you killed a monkey and ate it, you probably get in some trouble. Yeah, depending on the jurisdiction. You can't go to Griffith Park Zoo and do it, of course. No, yeah, certainly not. Yeah. If you kill it, like, that's interesting to see what the, what the, with a class of would be of you brought a Neanderthal back to life using genetic engineering or by unfreezing it. Right.

Like what is the, what is its legal status now? You know what I mean? Right. Well, I mean, in Encino Man, he goes to high school and becomes a citizen. That's a great. You know what? He does become a citizen. He does become a citizen.

I love that movie so good. A legal citizen. He does it the right way, Wags.
