Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a HeadGum Podcast. My horse and my woman went off to Salta. May the horse return, for I don't need my woman. The source of this excerpt is a well-known copla, a type of Spanish-language poem or folk song, celebrating the gaucho. Something of a cross between the cowboy of the American West and the knight of medieval Europe, the gaucho's origins trace to the Spanish and Portuguese colonists who first invaded South America in the 15th century, subjugating and brutalizing the native population. As conquistadors conquered the
Starting point is 00:00:34 continent, they forever altered the culture, including food, in part via the introduction of European cattle. In the 16th through 19th centuries, as human labor became needed to manage the ever-growing herds that roamed across Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil, professional cattle wranglers became known as gauchos, revered for their able horsemanship and skill with a boleadora, a thrown weapon of rope-linked weights used to entangle the legs of escaping cows. The gauchos' life on the range led them to subsist on a diet heavy on readily available beef, and so they developed an open-flame roasting method known in Portuguese as churrascaria. The gaucho as a profession receded in the 20th century, but the influence persisted,
Starting point is 00:01:12 and in 1979, two pair of brothers who grew up in rural southern Brazil came together to open a gaucho-inspired churrascaria of their own in the big city of Sao Paulo. The upscale all-you-can-eat steakhouse thrived, and the brothers opened outlets across Brazil, and in 1997, the company ventured overseas, boldly staking a claim with a franchise in the U.S. beef capital of Dallas, Texas. Meat-addicted Americans love the carnivorous gluttony afforded by their Odesio-style presentation, where waiters walk you an array of barbecued beef until you cry teal, and branches cropped up across the U.S. to become the best-known Brazilian chain restaurant in America. Today, there are approximately one and a half billion cattle worldwide, and Brazil is now the largest exporter of beef in the world. And while gauchos themselves may be about as common as cowboys and knights today, their culture remains celebrated,
Starting point is 00:01:59 in particular, their food. This week on Doughboys, Fogo de Chão. Welcome to Doughboys, the podcast about chain restaurants. I'm Nick Weiger, alongside my co-host, L.

Starting point is 00:06:30 the sopranos pilot he cares about the ducklings in his pool i know it's an exact one-to-one parallel i know it's exactly what happens i know i know he cries in front of his therapist should i play a drop your mouthy yes of course i don't want to play the drop the guests are not going to like this. They already know the show's stupid. I mean, that's true. We're less than five minutes in, and we made it very obvious what the show is. Should I play with Shampoodler's last drop ever?
Starting point is 00:06:54 Sure. Now, why is it his last drop ever? I don't know. That's what he said. Probably my last drop ever. Okay. He's getting out of the game. We'll start it again.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Okay. Here we go. Here we go. I just feel bad for our guests. Boy, going out on top, Shampoodler, with a banger. Hi, Mitch. Weiger said crow? I don't know what that means.
Starting point is 00:07:34 C-R-A-O? Crap? I don't know. I don't know what Shampoodler's talking about. Crow? I don't know. I don't know what this means. I think that's kind of a... Isn't there a meme thing where it's like...
Starting point is 00:07:45 Because people... The P is next to the O on the keyboard. And so people write out C-R-A-O like crap. It's like the same way that it's like... You know, I like a shampoo. I think that's what he's referencing. All right. Why is he hanging it up?
Starting point is 00:07:58 Why is he getting out of the game? I don't know. I don't know what the deal is. He's probably going to stop listening to the podcast. Yeah, I mean, he should. Everyone should. We've made that clear. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Anyways, let's introduce our guests. Oh, boy. What a waste of their time. Our guests are actors and the host of the podcast Directionally Challenged. Season one is available now on Stitcher. Kayla Ewell and Candice King. Hi, Kayla. Hi, Candice.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Hey, guys. How are you? Thank you for being here. The hardest part was not laughing throughout that whole introduction. Hi, Kayla. Hi, Candice. Hey, guys. How are you? Thank you for being here. The hardest part was not laughing throughout that whole introduction. Oh, man. Oh, God. Most of our listeners have the opposite problem. I find this very, kind of puts them to sleep.
Starting point is 00:08:34 It was the bird nest reference. Oh, man. Yeah. It was a visual. A very- A very- Specific. Too specific.
Starting point is 00:08:41 It's also speaking about the ducklings afterwards. It was very- Yeah. It was a... Yeah, it was... Life is a herald, Nick, as you've said plenty of times. Those ducks could have a place to live. Yeah. Oh, Jesus. You know, I don't know how...
Starting point is 00:08:56 Never mind. No, there's room. All six ducklings could have came in. I don't know how warm the nest is. It's ice cold for some reason. There'll be a lot of trickle-down crumbs from just what you're eating. Speaking of crumbs,
Starting point is 00:09:09 you walked in with a box that contained a Roomba. A Roomba. I got a new Roomba, Nick. I got hooked. Well, I don't know if I should say it. Well, I'll find out and then I'll say if I can say it.
Starting point is 00:09:21 But someone help me out with a Roomba. I'll say that. And I got a new Ro a new room but that collects the dirt we were talking about this there's a there's a series uh seven there's a series seven candies you you you you you have one or yes so we just got a new puppy okay and before the puppy came to live with us um uh one of our big purchases that i purchased was a room but i did a lot of research on this roomba and i know that there are different levels of roomba and specifically i think like level five definitely level seven is really good for pet dander and fur how many levels are there there's a whole bunch of levels kayla it's like a really intense they're
Starting point is 00:10:02 even attached to your phone now you can control it from your phone live in the future guys but you said you had a really particular reason for yours i'm assuming it's cat hair it is cat deer no it's worse than that actually it's your hair no i'm kidding it's not cubes the bird's nest it's not the bird's nest isn't constantly shedding there the it's springtime it's it's it's the uh oh my god um it's the cat litter nick i've talked about this it tracks i have hard floors in this house there's no carpets it fucking tracks and have you slipped how many times i'm constantly slipping and kitty litter here's the gross part of it. They get up in my bed and then you feel it in your bed and you have to wipe it out.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Oh, yeah. I know. I know. It's like Santa after the beach. So here's my plan. But with poop and pee in it. True. There's never like...
Starting point is 00:10:57 It's not all cats. There's never poop or pee in the... But they track the litter all over the place. My plan is to have one designated Roomba in my room, and just so it's always in there doing its thing. Maybe just in the bed. Should I just put one Roomba in the bed? What do you think, Nick?
Starting point is 00:11:16 Do they work that way? Don't they get a hard surface? No, they don't work that way. I was joking and trying to have you joke with me. No, I was trying to figure out if it would even be practical. No, it's not practical. They get hung up on the sheets. That's the answer okay it would fall off the edge well actually they would take a digital map of the bed and learn what was right and wrong they wouldn't fall off i
Starting point is 00:11:32 know they're very smart they're very very they really are they're very very smart but i think one is just gonna patrol my room and the other is gonna be for the rest but no if you have the newest one it will patrol the whole thing and then you can you hook it up to your phone and then you can pick which room it focuses on and then it goes back to its charging station you can do one room at a time oh i've seen i've never had this this is this is this is the next level then because it's next level and you're right it empties and i this i did not get mine for free i ordered it on amazon after watching all the instructional videos i don't know if i got mine for free or what i don't know what what I can say. What are you talking about? I feel like you were gifted these things,
Starting point is 00:12:06 but you're embarrassed about it. Do you owe someone a favor? A sexual favor? Is that the name of the favor? I found out that you can say unleash the cats or is it the cat cream? No one knows what you're referencing. On the Roomba but if you use it
Starting point is 00:12:26 with alexa you can say like unleash the cats or something they'll and they'll let out the room there's like another one it's a voice command there's a voice command there's like funny voice commands that you can say that will unleash them got it roombas but now i have two no but i think it is the well maybe it is maybe it is just unleash the kraken and there's another one for cats yeah that's a thing people say. I forget. Well, what I know you can do is you can name it.
Starting point is 00:12:48 So you hook it up to your phone and then you can name your Roomba. And do you have a name picked out for yours? Cause I was really excited. Weiger Jr. What do you think of that? Nick? Closest lover coming to having a son. I'm into it.
Starting point is 00:13:01 I could relate to Weiger Jr. So when you come over here, you'll, yes, that's, that is who you're going to have a friend. I could relate to Weiger Jr. So when you come over here, you'll, yes, that is who you're going to cozy up next to the most. I can relate to this guy at an emotional level. My cats, he's like, what is your deal? You're like, you're not sure if you trust Wally or something. I just don't know if we've established a rapport. Like, they seem a little icy with me.
Starting point is 00:13:21 That's not true. You're the icy one. I feel like. He is. One of them is more, you the icy one. I feel like... He is. Because one of them is more, you've got Wally and you've got Irma. They're both very, very cute, adorable tuxedo cats.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Yes. They're just, they're very, very, they're adorable. One of them seems more friendly than, one is a little more outgoing. Which one is that?
Starting point is 00:13:39 Is that Irma? Irma's the one who talks more. Yeah, Irma's got, Irma I feel like I can connect with a little bit. Wally seems a little bit like Wally doesn't know what to think about me. And I don't know what to think about him. I don't know what to think about you either.
Starting point is 00:13:50 I'm with Wally. All right. Emma, what do you think about Wally? Help me out here. I like Wally. He snuggles with me. Okay. He snuggles with Emma.
Starting point is 00:13:58 My husband likes to say that if cats were our size, that they would just kill us. You know what? Yeah. I would like that. Because it's true. They would. Like, if your house cat
Starting point is 00:14:10 was like the size of like a larger, like, you know, lion. Lion size, yeah. It wouldn't cuddle with you.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Well, Nick knows something. No, I think you're right. You know what I said before? That if I, I've told you this before. If you were to be killed, if you were to die in your home no i would i would want the cat see me yes that's also true but you know this other thing that i think that if i was with a lion i don't i think
Starting point is 00:14:35 i could i don't think it would attack me oh that's right you think you could befriend a lion famous last words are you have you not seen the documentary? I've seen, wait, I've seen Grizzly Man. Wait, is there a Lion Man? Yes. Oh, really? Melanie Griffith. That's how she grew up. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Oh, that movie is, so there's a movie. Oh, God, I'm not going to remember the name. I don't remember the name, and I haven't seen the whole thing, but I've seen so many clips, but that's how Melanie Griffith grew up. But it's not a, well, there is a documentary about it, too, but they also filmed like an actual fictional movie with these lions. And it's insane. Do you know of this movie, Nick?
Starting point is 00:15:11 The only one I can think of is the one our buddy Haley Joel was in, Secondhand Lions. No, that's not it. It's from the 70s. And they were in Africa. And they had all these lions in their house. And it was like, it's the most insane. Do a little research.
Starting point is 00:15:24 But it's the most insane thing ever. and if you melanie griffith if you get a hold of this film yeah if you get a hold of this film and and you can you can read a little bit about it but it's if you get a hold of this film i've seen it before it's like insane like the lines are like biting people in the arms and like it looks so not safe is this okay from 1981 yes called roar yes roar written and directed by noel marshall produced by and starring marshall and his wife and co-starring uh isn't it daughter i don't know i'm just i'm cold reading melanie griffith is in it young melanie griffith there you go is it based on her life then that's what i'm confused about she actually grew up that way as well and then is also starring in a movie about it.
Starting point is 00:16:06 The lions lived with them for a period of time. The lions lived with them. Nick, there should be like a paragraph on like Roar movie that's just like says how insane it is. Well, okay. So they'd... This is real. This is real and it's crazy. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:16:19 I swear it's crazy. They came up with the idea after they'd completed a film called Satan's Harvest. Jesus Christ. You know that scares me. I know. Your famous fear of the devil. Let's see. I'm trying to find the right...
Starting point is 00:16:34 There's a whole thing on cast and crew injuries. Over 70 of the cast and crew were injured during production. Yes. This is on Roar, not Satan's Harvest. On Roar. This is on Roar, yes. Roar. No one injured on Satan's Harvest. You neverar, yeah. No one injured on Satan's Harvest.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Ever know, guys. Shot by Jan de Bont. Very famous cinematographer. Shot a lot of things. A Hunt for Red October. But someone's scalp was removed. It's insane. And that's when they kicked the lions out.
Starting point is 00:16:59 They were like, oh, I guess we got to get rid of the lions. Wait, that's what it's saying. Jan de Bont had his scalp lifted by a lion resulting in 220 stitches. Shut up. Tippi Hedren received a fractured leg after an elephant bucked her off its back and also got scalp...
Starting point is 00:17:13 A lot of scalp wounds on here. Oh my God. This is brutal. You need to... This movie... Weiger, you need to watch the movie because it is... It's insane.
Starting point is 00:17:22 I don't want to watch this weird faces of death shit. Wait, why don't we just do that? We we just do that for our second date, guys? We already had our first date. We've moved on to the movies, Netflix and chill. I'm sure if the waiters thought we were on a date, they're like, these poor girls. What's happened to them? They're like, these guys were late.
Starting point is 00:17:42 I think they won a contest. No, it was funny, though. We definitely had a moment of like, cool. We're just, hey, husbands, we're heading out the door. We're meeting up with these dudes. Nick and I are also going to get our teeth knocked in later. No, we're not threatening. No, but there was definitely a moment at the bar where we had drinks before and well candace had drinks i'm pregnant so i can't have a drink but
Starting point is 00:18:08 um and i drank for both of them i was like they are they are coming right they're not standing us up on our day oh man we are the biggest dorks on earth i can't that would be very embarrassing for you guys um i'd so you're you're. So you're six months pregnant. I am. It's out there now. So there's a lot of things when women are pregnant that they have cravings. Is that true? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:36 It is true. Dude, my craving is random, though. It's scrambled eggs. Whoa. That's great. It's a lot worse. I know, but it's just so weird. Like at midnight, i'll pop up out
Starting point is 00:18:46 of bed and be like i fucking need scrambled eggs and i go to the kitchen and i make scrambled eggs wait is that is that was that never was that never a thing before i mean i kind of ate them as a kid growing up and like would sometimes eat them but i mean very rarely and now it's a thing that's what i want to hear that is that's weird it's a If you, but you, like, you weren't like a huge scrambled egg fan. No, no. That's weird. I mean, I didn't hate them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:09 But I didn't love them. It was just very neutral about scrambled eggs. You were never getting up in the middle of the night to make scrambled eggs. No, I don't really get up in the middle of the night to do anything, really. I mean, besides pee, I guess. But, yeah, no. And now I'm like, make in the kitchen, like, frying up eggs. That's insane.
Starting point is 00:19:23 And it's not a choice. It's like like legitimately me going okay no i'm i have to yeah i'd barely get up and then i either even if i have to pee i don't like pee the bed you got a cat litter in there are you sure you could yeah it's absorbed i let it ride to the morning is what i say i'm like i'll make it to the morning i can't i can't get if i have to if i have to pee i gotta I can't. I can't get if I have to. If I have to pee, I got to get up because I can't get back to sleep. Yeah, not an option when you're pregnant. Like you can't do it.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Have to. Is there any other like they say pickles all the time? No, that's for so far for me. It's just those scrambled eggs like at least once a day. Oh, man. But I will say I was so excited for our dinner. Yeah. Because I mean, we knew we were going to go for it.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Right. So I mean, and we went for it. Oh, yeah. So we we were and I like we're. Right. So, I mean, and we went for it. Oh, yeah. So, Weigra and I, like, we're pregnant constantly, we were saying. We just always, and Susser, too. Susser, I mean, Susser joined us tonight. He did join us. For the second meal this week where he joined us.
Starting point is 00:20:17 It's, look, it's what he, I think it's what he contributes to the podcast at this point. He just shows up to the meals and then texts us his thoughts. Did he text you his thoughts? Yeah, he did. I'm really excited. They're not. I mean, it's not going to be worth it. It's not going to pay off.
Starting point is 00:20:33 I've read the text. But I want to talk a little bit more generally before we get into this specific chain. So, Kayla, you were saying you're from Seal Beach. Candice, you're from Florida originally, correct? Yes. Where in Florida? Orlando.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Wow. So we're like both of you co- The home of the better Disney, Nick. All right. The cultural epicenter of the world. But we talked theme parks a little bit at dinner. We're both from, you know, because Kayla, like you, a lifelong, or I don't know if you've always lived here, but I've never left Southern California.
Starting point is 00:21:07 We're from similar areas. So proximal to, we talked about Knott's Berry Farm, Disneyland, Magic Mountain, Candice, obviously, and Orlando. You got a lot of options there. What are your guys' favorite theme parks, and what are your favorite theme park eats? Wow. Good question.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Ooh, that's a great one. I'm a frozen lemonade girl. Oh, there you go. I love a solid frozen lemonade. That's good. Yeah. Didn't you love Gator World? Don't you guys have a really cool park in Orlando? Gatorland. Yes. It's my favorite. Gatorland. Yes. Wow. So that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:21:42 This sounds like a war sequel. Gatorland. I'm like, how have I never brought you to Gatorland? I don't know. That will be season two. Will you explain to us what that is? So basically, I didn't go to Disney World a lot growing up because it was so, it's just a big commitment.
Starting point is 00:21:56 I went to Universal a lot for Islands of Adventure, but my favorite theme park, and one that I bring a lot of friends and family to, is Gatorland. And it's a theme park dedicated to gators. a lot of the because i always grew up on a lake and if you have a lake or if you have a gator in your lake um you just call gator patrol and they come and pick up your gator in the middle of the night which i will say did happen when i was staying at candace's family's house they live on a lake and they were like, oh, yeah, last week there was a gator here. And I'm like, are we OK to be in this lake? Because people wakeboard in that lake. I mean, it's like, yeah, they come out at night.
Starting point is 00:22:31 They're not going to bother you in the middle of the day. But they're still in the lake. Yes. Yeah, that's terrifying. That's scary. No, they're either baking in the sun on the side or they're down below. Down below is where it's scary. Also, I got to say,
Starting point is 00:22:45 Gator Patrol should be a movie or TV show. Oh, absolutely. Gator Patrol, that sounds cool as hell. Yeah. And it could be a comedy. I mean, there's a lot of possibilities here. I think you play it straight. It's a really tense action movie.
Starting point is 00:22:57 It's intense. They come out with flashlights and they shine a flashlight and you wait for the gator eyes to pop out in the lake. But anyway, Gatorland, you go there and you get to basically go walk around everywhere and see all the gators you get to eat gator nuggets you get to watch the gators jump they do gator jumping kind of fucked up now they string up chicken like dead chickens just chicken meat and the gators like jump really high
Starting point is 00:23:20 to eat them there's gator wrestling where a guy gets on the back and does all these fun tricks with the gator. You can hold baby gators. I'm kind of into jumping up and through a hoop and eating a chicken. That's what I'm saying. I think you could do that. I want to give you
Starting point is 00:23:33 a one-way ticket to Gatorland, Nick. There are worse ways to go. That is crazy, but I imagine it's got to be very supervised because gators are... No.
Starting point is 00:23:43 No? It's Florida. What do you eat at Gatorland? Gator nuggets. Is that made from gator? Yeah, it's the gator tail. So you watch them and then you eat them? Yes, this is my issue with it as well.
Starting point is 00:23:56 This is crazy. It's not like gators are underpopulated in Florida. There's a huge population of gators. But you watch them do tricks and applaud as you're eating them. They're eating the old gators that are dead. It's like if at medieval times you could get like a horse steak. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Go to SeaWorld, get yourself a Shamu smoothie. Or if at Disneyland you could eat fried mice or something. Oh my god. Oh, those are the ones that betrayed me. Oh, Mickey, you sick fuck. Man, I was seeing... Because I was there literally yesterday.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Yeah. Mickey was drumming out in the parade room. I saw that too. Because I was there Monday. I brought my three-year-old. He was... Oh, boy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:40 What's the same thing? What did you bring? I was brought by my mommy. Mickey was drumming out like crazy. Like a full kit? Yeah. Yeah. And I just was thinking about how hot that actor must have been.
Starting point is 00:24:54 And he was really like drumline drumming out. Like Neil Peart from Rush? Yes. Fucking shredding on the drums? He really was. He was going nuts, right? I mean, he was really drumming it out. I feel like they always have different themes for the parade.
Starting point is 00:25:06 And this one was, it's a music celebration. Yeah. Yes. That was funny. If drummer Mickey had an ego, like, because, you know, if you're Mickey, you're the shit, right? Of all the different characters. But then if you're drummer Mickey, that's just next level.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Yeah. I saw a little bit of there. It was like I was leaving when the park was closing and there was like a couple. I think they were Russian and they were like grabbing Mickey's arm and he was like over getting like they were and they were trying to take pictures with him and he was so over it and just like, you know how like usually when they walks away, he's like waving goodbye. He just like his like head and shoulders were down and he just walked out of the park, which you never sit. You never. It was never like like that but he was he was he was over it maybe it
Starting point is 00:25:49 was maybe it was maybe the drummer mickey it was maybe drummer maker who is who has an attitude boy yeah that's i i like character i can't imagine being one of those suits because i feel like i would be a so claustrophobic and b i just like way too close out wait i don't think i don't think you're legally allowed to be in one of those suits um okay my favorite food from a from a um please theme park knott's berry farm is vocal for us right and we love we love knott's berry farm um it's a funnel cake have you had the funnel cakes yeah i mean i i am a funnel cake i'm something of a funnel cake enthusiast i have soft pitched the idea of doing like a Cinnabon for funnel cakes because I feel like it could live outside of the theme park world. I feel like you could expand that to airports and stadiums and so forth.
Starting point is 00:26:36 But I'm sorry, please continue. No, well, Knott's Berry Farm was originally a berry stand, right? Yeah. Way back in the day. And so the jam there is really good. And so that's what they they focus a lot on their funnel cakes because you can pick what jam you want on top of your funnel cake and it's a whole thing and i just yeah it's kind of making my mouth water they
Starting point is 00:26:55 have a delightful they do have delightful jams and jellies there we would just have like the jarred knots jams like in our fridge yeah same we we that we when we were shooting birth uh jesus birthday boys i forget the name of your sketch troop you're in for over 10 years god when we're shooting birthday boys no i am loyal to my sketch group wiger okay you got meat rot it's so much meat your brain is dysfunctioning it's a lot of meat we we were we were shooting with uh an elderly actress and she was like 85 or something and she and we were shooting this is how i'm spending my golden years this is on ifc oh god who gets that channel um and so we were we were shooting down in like anaheim area and she was like i'm taking off
Starting point is 00:27:47 and we're like do you need like a why am i trying to do a granny voice what am i doing and probably because i just did it i copied it was super hacky i'd love to hear your granny voice i'm taking off for the day she said that was good and uh i was like oh we were like oh do you like need a ride or anything and she was she was very elderly like she was an old lady yeah and she's like no i'm fine and we were like it was like 5 p.m like rush hour on the five and stuff and we're like god and she was like i'm gonna go to knott's berry farm and get fried chicken oh yeah and she was and she she stops by knott's berry farm all the apparently all the time to get fried chicken and And I was so afraid that this little lady
Starting point is 00:28:26 was going to drive home by herself with a bucket of fried chicken. She knew what she was doing. Her day was just beginning. Her day was called Knott's. That Mrs. Knott's fried chicken is nice.
Starting point is 00:28:35 They do a good bird there. It's a, yeah, that's a weird ass park. It is weird. It's so weird. What is like their, do they have big coasters there
Starting point is 00:28:44 or no? They do have some bigger, I mean the one that i wonder if she wrote writers good one oh yeah i grew up here so we know like we kind of know all the and it was the really cool spot to go to in high school it was school so it was like this spot to go to i was banned um the uh the the writer i remember is the monozuma's Revenge was for a time was like the which is an insane name for a ride. Yeah, like that was a name.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Yeah, because it evokes diarrhea. But it is like it's just like it goes super fast frontwards and backwards. And it was the first coast I encountered that went backwards
Starting point is 00:29:17 at a high speed. Do you want to you guys ready for him and I to get into a fight about this? Because I'm mad about the thing we discussed earlier. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:29:25 Disney should put in a pyramid ride. All right, here's my thing. Pyramid ride? It should, not like a franchise, but it should be a- An original IP. An original IP of- In the spirit of Space Mountain, the Haunted Mansion. Haunted Mansion.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Pirates of the Caribbean was not a property when they first made the ride. I get the idea behind your idea. They should make a pyramid ride where you go through like a pyramid or something and maybe you go into quicksand and the cart goes down, something like that, Nick. For what, though? I'm just saying just for the hell of it. Just for fun.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Okay. Mitch's general idea. Okay. That was so polite. Mitch's general idea was, which I get is that they Disney used to do a lot of rides that weren't just based off of
Starting point is 00:30:09 Marvel and Disney properties they were like original ideas and like I think yeah they should do another one of those the jewel of the mysterious temple something like that it sounds like the Indiana Jones ride or Aladdin
Starting point is 00:30:19 I was going to say Aladdin it's too close to those this is what but there is no it goes into like a sand sphinx or something that's cool there is no real Aladdin but what brought this up because I was going to say Aladdin. It's too close to those. It goes into like a sand sphinx or something? That's cool. There is no real Aladdin.
Starting point is 00:30:27 What brought this up, because I was saying that there wasn't a lot of Beauty and the Beast. It's a franchise that's underrepresented. Yeah. But that's a different point you're making. There's one in Hong Kong or something like that? Or Tokyo, I forget where. Yeah, there's a really good Beauty and the Beast attraction overseas, apparently.
Starting point is 00:30:42 But I like the idea. I agree. Too close to Indiana Jones, Aladdin, or even The Mummy, which is owned by Universal. I feel like... Then what other... Well, I just take it out of Egypt. Swamp?
Starting point is 00:30:54 Oh, no. That's Pirates of the Caribbean has the swamp covered. Yeah. I mean, there's other things you could hit on. There's other sort of tropes or... What other trope? What? That's your pitch.
Starting point is 00:31:04 How about a skeleton's ride? That's Haunted Mansion. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. A lot of these things they've touched on already. They've touched on science fiction and fantasy. I think the pyramid is too close to some other stuff they have. In my opinion, they don't have a good alien ride. There you go.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Oh, shit. Or does Orlando... I think the Disney World has a good alien ride or not? No, they all have the Buzz Lightyear stuff. Right, Buzz Lightyear. No, I mean more of a scarier alien ride. They had Alien Encounter for a time, which actually had the alien, and that was scary. And then I think they replaced him with Stitch.
Starting point is 00:31:35 And so it's not nearly as scary. No, it's not Stitch. Like Lilo and Stitch? Yeah. So it's, again, based on a movie. Yes, exactly. So do you guys just know all these things, or are you like Disney people? You're trying to rate what type of losers we are.
Starting point is 00:31:50 Let's see. Do you, like, are you just like... Do we know all these things, or do we think and talk about them constantly? No, no, but like, have you talked about them, where you're just like, okay, we know all these facts because we've like talked about them,
Starting point is 00:31:59 they've come up in conversation, or are you like, do you guys like love Disney? Well, let's see. Here, I know how to i know how to settle this have you gone on a disney cruise i have not gone on it i have i want okay that's a real fan okay i feel like if you go on a disney cruise you are a real fan have you guys i don't know but i love disney i do yeah i gotta say i went on a disney cruise when i was in second grade and i think i told this on the show i'm gonna tell it again uh the one thing that i truly remember for it is
Starting point is 00:32:25 i got into the hot tub uh i was so i was like nine eight or nine years old and i got into the hot tub and i remember a log of shit floating to the top of the hot tub disgusting there's the right it wasn't yours the disney crew hold on a second did you say it wasn't yours no i was nine so you don't take a shit when you're nine no i did first of all there were i took plenty of shits that year i but i that was i was old enough to not let one slide out in the hot tub yeah it was it was it was like mortified it was disgusting it was like a thing where i was disgusting. It was like a thing where I was like, oh fuck.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Like I remember being like a little kid and being like this like sucks. Yeah, that's pretty bad. People are animals. Yeah, they are.
Starting point is 00:33:12 I see shit like that. I'm just like, God, that's so funny. That's what I was guessing. I think Disney should give you another cruise to give you another shot.
Starting point is 00:33:16 I agree. You got a Roomba. 100% agree. Next step, Disney Cruise. Yeah, if you're listening out there and you're ahead of the disney cruise line you can
Starting point is 00:33:26 let weiger and i go on a cruise together you guys could review the food food yeah good i mean the one issue there is the doughboys can't be bought uh but mitch do you have a do you have a favorite theme park food i know you're a dole whip guy should i give you a rundown of what i ate yesterday yes please what is the dole whip oh what what the hell are you serious yeah is it a frozen yogurt let's get her out of here you're banned she wants to leave you have to try this it's it's it'll blow your mind honestly i think it's the best frozen yogurt but it's fresh and it's i truly think it's the best i think it's i ever have. I think it's vegan or... Shut up. I swear.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Oh, really? It's dairy-free. It's dairy-free, which is crazy because it doesn't... Yeah, well, there's a lot of like... There's a lot of fruit juice
Starting point is 00:34:15 and sugar in it. Here's a picture I can show you. So it's kind of a... As I just spilled my drink. Oh, Jesus. There's a... It's not a bad spill. There's a...
Starting point is 00:34:22 It's kind of like a pineapple sort of soft-serve mixture. Okay. And then... Oh, and then is it with There's a, it's kind of like a pineapple sort of soft serve mixture. Okay. And then, oh, and then is it with juice? Yeah, with a little juice and a little cream on top. Or you can just get the soft serve. Yeah, or you can just get the soft serve. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:32 And it's just vanilla. No, no, it's pineapple. Okay. It's delightful. It sounds delightful. It's really, it's really, really good. But I didn't know they had like orange flavors now and stuff. Is it good or is it too much?
Starting point is 00:34:43 I loved it. so they opened up a spell on our tax document so i hope we don't get out of it oh my god the boys meet we should contact our uh sark because no boys media might be in trouble here paper you're introducing sark to everyone the guy who does our taxes we're throwing our accountant into the doughboys expanded universe kiddos what do you think of? The drink you have in front of you was universally hated by everyone who tried it. I like that. There's a thing about you guys that you offered it to
Starting point is 00:35:11 her. I asked about the other spin drift and he was like, I don't think it's cold, but you can have this. I wasn't trying to steer you towards the one that was low. I actually didn't know that I want to try it. It's like I'm drinking it politely. Do you want to? Is it not good?
Starting point is 00:35:26 I just don't like cucumber. We can swap out your beverage. There's more options. This is my big issue with it. Oh, my God. Yeah, it's bad. Wait, that's really bad. I like Langer's lime, but the cucumber is not.
Starting point is 00:35:37 It doesn't taste like real cucumber. Yeah, it doesn't taste like, but I think it is. I think maybe it's too real. I don't know what the deal is. No, it's just intense flavor. You need a hint of it, and it's the whole thing. Yes, yeah. maybe it's too real i don't know what the deal is no it's just intense flavor and you need a hint of it and it's the whole thing yes yeah but it's all good you know i'm it reminds me of the cucumber but i like the cucumber vodka at the parker in palm spring have you guys ever had this i have not no about oh i've been to the parker the parker's awesome
Starting point is 00:35:58 and then if you go i went there last year it's a hotel in palm spring very cool and they have like a spa and so i was there for my birthday mother's cool. And they have like a spa. And so I was there for my birthday, Mother's Day. And if you go to the spa, they start you off for your spa treatment with a shot of cucumber vodka. We did this together. Let me tell you where I went yesterday in Disney. I went to Trader Sam's.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Have you been there? Which park? It's outside the park. It's near one of the hotels. So you walk out and it's near one of the Disney hotels. But it is like a Disney thing. It's like the park. It's near one of the hotels. So you walk out and it's near one of the Disney hotels. But it is like a Disney thing. It's like Disney owned. It's like a Tiki thing. It's a Tiki thing.
Starting point is 00:36:30 And you love Tiki. I love Tiki. How do you feel about flavored booze? Do you like flavored booze? Well, wait. Flavored booze, like infused? Like Blueberry Stoli was my jam growing up. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:36:42 Yeah. Oh, man. I think I really like flavored booze. Yeah. All right. How do you feel, Nick? Are you a fan or no? I just want to nail down what you my jam growing up. Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, man. I think I really like flavored booze. Yeah. All right. How do you feel, Nick? Are you a fan or no? I just want to nail down what you mean by growing up, because that can encompass a large
Starting point is 00:36:51 eight-way drink. I was about like seven. Oh, God. Jesus. There's some things you need to deal with. Yeah. I used to like the... I'll do a stiffer drink now, but I still like a fucking like a fruity cocktail,
Starting point is 00:37:05 like a fun tropical drink. That's fun as a change of pace. I like a Tiki Punch Bowl. Yes. I love a good punch bowl. You guys got to go to Trader Sam's because there's a couple of things that they do there. There's like,
Starting point is 00:37:13 there's this one thing where they have a Kraken drink and then like one of the portraits on the wall, like a Kraken comes out of the ocean and then like a volcano explodes and they shoot like water in the air. It's like a Disney version of a tiki hot and then you get a head shrinker. There's a head shrinker and then the and then there's stools at the
Starting point is 00:37:33 bar that that go down. Oh, I love that. So it makes you think that like like my head got smaller or something is I guess is the idea. Do they use the Kraken rum? Because Kraken is a type of rum. It is a drink. I think there might be some in the crack and but Nick Nick had a
Starting point is 00:37:47 Nick was going to make fun of the size of my head. He could use a drinker just go down about about 80% of what you got now. You know, we took a photo tonight in the and the and the and the guy was like there's someone in the background. I was like, how I was, how did my head not
Starting point is 00:38:03 block that person out? Seems like that's the only good use for it. Anyways, trader Sam's is great the background. I was like, how did my head not block that person out? Seems like that's the only good use for it. Anyways, Trader Sam's is great. Yes. I'm not as big of a infused vodka person, but then I had infused vodka yesterday, and it was very good in this drink. Natalie and I, years ago in New York, we went to this, like, in like an awful neighborhood in New York, in like Midtown, like a very obnoxious neighborhood. But there was like a really cool, like Russian bar that, that one of my brother's friends who lived in the city had told us about. And so we went in there and they had all these infused vodkas and it was
Starting point is 00:38:32 like, we had like 12 different vodkas that night and they were all, they were all infused different things like jalapenos and, and they were all delightful. Like, you know, they had ones that were fruit and views. They had ones that were like vegetable infused.
Starting point is 00:38:42 It was, it was like crazy. It was, it was, it was a scene, but yeah, that I like it, if if it's done well if the spirits are good and if the the things that are infusing it are good then of course i'm on board like with anything natalie drinks quite a bit to deal with the fact that she's married to you right just to cope with that somehow um so you guys are actors. You're working actors. I'm curious.
Starting point is 00:39:06 This is a question I always want to ask people who are on sets a lot. What are your on-set eating habits? I know Mitch is particular about them. Yeah. We've gone over your habits. But do you guys have a strategy for approaching all the craft services that is laid out there, the meals you get for for lunch and breakfast and so forth i'll tell you what i said to nick okay is that i like would love a
Starting point is 00:39:32 breakfast burrito but then i would eat a breakfast burrito and then i would worry about my stomach the rest of the day shooting and i never do it ever again i i now will get like a like a protein ish plate or something like like eggs and bacon it's funny you mentioned the breakfast burrito because my mind went to like oh i usually just grab a breakfast burrito in the morning because i think the thing about being on set is you kind of forget how much time passes because you're living within the same scene same moment for hours yeah so i feel like sometimes i have to eat a lot in the morning because otherwise it's like you realize it takes five hours to do one scene and you're like oh fuck it's already been five
Starting point is 00:40:07 hours so i'll definitely do the breakfast burrito route but bring it with me to set and just like keep eating it kind of idea instead of eating it within like 10 minutes which i usually do when i go on yeah that's that's a smarter way to go yeah yeah um i saw a buddy uh uh can i get your answer one second but i saw a buddy joshiner, who's going to come on the podcast at a WGA meeting, and they had free food there because it was early in the morning. He got a breakfast burrito
Starting point is 00:40:32 and a donut, and then he went back for a second breakfast burrito. I was like, this guy's a champ. Weiner can eat. And he's slim, too. He's a guy who's lost
Starting point is 00:40:42 a bunch of weight, and he's kept it off. He looks great. Yeah, he's cool. Yeah, he's very cool. I mean, don't you guys kind's lost a bunch of weight and he's still he's kept it off he looks great yeah he's cool yeah he's very he's very cool i mean don't you guys like kind of take a bunch of stuff and bring it home with you because that's what i do i will on set yeah oh wow that's a good strategy you know when i worked at the sim i worked as an assistant at the simpsons back in the day which i mentioned all the time on here yes i'll get made fun of for that but then i i would do that and i would bring home food to feed friends a lot of the time.
Starting point is 00:41:06 But on set, I never do it on set. That's funny that you say. I feel like usually I'm in a hotel. And so it's like the whole idea of like, I'm going to go and go eat hotel food. So I'll bring like, I'll be like, oh, I'll get two lunches, right? Keep it in the fridge and then bring it home. Oh, that's smart. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:41:21 I feel like if I get too big of a lunch, they're like, it's coming out of your check. It's not your favorite. Yeah. The things I've worked on are maybe bad. Candice, how do you handle eating on set? I'm like you, Mitch. I usually would eat my breakfast within 10 minutes, and I always had breakfast tacos.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Oh, okay. I'm a breakfast taco girl, because then it's like you're getting the eggs, but it's not like... Super, super heavy. Yeah, it's the idea'm a breakfast taco girl. Right. Because then it's like you're getting the eggs, but it's not like... Super, super heavy. Yeah. It's the idea of a breakfast burrito without worrying about what my mic's going to pick up from my stomach digesting it.
Starting point is 00:41:51 Yeah. Oh, sure. The biggest nightmare of all. Yeah. That's awful. Yeah. And then also just like the fact if you have to go to the bathroom and you have to turn it off.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Yes. Well, at least you're a dude. There's so many tight clothing that the women wear. Oh, God, yeah. There's so much tight construction. You know where we usually wear our mics, right? I mean, I've heard. In between our legs as far up as they go
Starting point is 00:42:15 because if you're wearing a skirt, everything is tight. I did not know that. That's crazy. Next time you're on set and a girl's playing like the hot girl in a tight dress, think about where her mic is. That's crazy. Next time you're on set and a girl's playing like the hot girl in a tight dress. Think about where her mic is.
Starting point is 00:42:27 That's insane. Yeah, think about it. Don't tell her that you're thinking. It's not like wearing boots where you can shove it in the boot
Starting point is 00:42:35 or tennis shoes. You're wearing high heels to that are usually open to think about it. Where does it go? Yeah, excuse me, ma'am.
Starting point is 00:42:41 I'm Mitch. I'm playing chunky thug number two. I've been thinking all day uh i i also wear tight clothes on set uh and right now no matter what mitch didn't you drop your mic in a toilet once you did it did you do it that was always my fear i mean yeah what are you talking about man i'm sorry did you unplug first because that was my problem is there's here's here's there's there's been i don't know this is a thing you were keeping secret i know i'm yeah i mean a part of my mic fell into the toilet
Starting point is 00:43:14 before yeah it happens but it happens well because you put it so basically for the listeners you get like a little tiny tiny little microphone that you kind of that gets pinned towards like your collar or like the buttons of your upper shirt. Right. And then there's a bigger mic pack that's usually clipped onto like the inside of the back of your jeans. Yeah. So for if you're pulling your pants down to go to the bathroom and you forget that that's
Starting point is 00:43:37 there. Yeah. It can fling off. Right. And it can go on the toilet. But it wasn't go on the toilet. A Tommy boy situation where I was like, holy shnikes and then accidentally flushed the mic and was fighting with the
Starting point is 00:43:48 toilet, but it was the toilet, not the urinal, right? So we kind of know like what was in there. It did not fell. It didn't fall on top of a poo. God damn it. It was it wasn't a Disney cruise situation. It wasn't a Disney
Starting point is 00:44:03 cruise situation. I'll't a Disney cruise situation. I'll tell you the thing that's more embarrassing for me. Yeah, this is more embarrassing is that I've sweat. I like they'll put me in a tight gray shirt and
Starting point is 00:44:14 it will get like hot if we're shooting outside or something. So they had a team like blow dry me down. I was going to say that blow dryer and everyone's waiting and
Starting point is 00:44:22 everyone five. We got a blow dry image. They blow. They did. They blow. They had a blow dry Mitch they blow they did they blow they they had a blow dry me they did they blew me I once
Starting point is 00:44:31 did a I once acted in a bit just because they needed a body and they I was like wearing a mascot suit and I'm sure when it was done they were like I shouldn't have gone with well here's the thing I like and so I had lines yeah and so I'd like did the lines in rehearsal
Starting point is 00:44:48 and I was like hey do you guys need to bike me and the director's like uh we could just replace it and post you're a good performer you gave up on performing Nick used to perform all the time I know we were asking that at dinner on our double date yeah you were one of the first people I saw at UCB I mean
Starting point is 00:45:03 I didn't know the real monster you yet, but I thought you were when you when I was Dracula. When I when I first met you, I thought you were one of the you. I thought you were one of the good ones over there at UCB. What was the best sketch you did at UCB? Oh man, every one of them is fucking disgusting. Yeah, what do you think is your best?
Starting point is 00:45:22 Well, you're going to help me out here because I'm bad with remembering anything. I don't want to relitigate name a couple of your sketches aged well i mean everyone says that he has a he has a film sketch where uh for funny or die that everyone says is one of one of his best ones gungan style i'm trying to think of one that you did on stage one of my stage sketches that i'm glad what isn't filmed it on youtube like toy story fuck fest yeah no i'm going to story fuck fest was this was a stage sketch yeah that filmed it on YouTube, like Toy Story Fuckfest. Yeah, no, I'm glad. Toy Story Fuckfest was a stage sketch, right? Yeah, that was.
Starting point is 00:45:48 You guys are for sure getting sponsored by Disney. Toy Story Fuckfest was pretty good. Did Andy fuck the dolls? What happened? We don't need to go over it. No, I think we should go over it. Look, the important thing is it's going to be an attraction to California Adventure. We'll take a break.
Starting point is 00:46:04 We'll be back with more Doughboys. Lucy is upping the nicotine pouch game with breakers. Pouches, packing a little something extra inside. What are Lucy breakers, you may ask? Well, if you know your pouches, you know that the nicotine doesn't hit immediately and neither does the flavor. The geniuses at Lucy came up with a brilliant way to fix both those problems. They put a mini liquid capsule inside each breaker's pouch.
Starting point is 00:46:31 Here's what you do. Grab a breaker's pouch and break the capsule. Yes, with your teeth. It makes a really satisfying pop. Put it in your lip and enjoy the immediate nicotine and flavor release. Nobody is doing anything like this except for Lucy. It's a new kind of pouch technology and it's only available from Lucy. No more sandpaper pouches drying out your mouth.
Starting point is 00:46:55 No more weak flavors that don't last. Breakers are different. Breakers are four or eight milligrams of tobacco-free, 100% pure nicotine. There are six delicious flavors, unique ones like apple ice or espresso, and classics like mint or mango. Now, Mitch, I know your friend and mine, Ramondi, loves Breakers. That's true. Do you happen to know his favorite Breakers flavor?
Starting point is 00:47:19 I think he loves mint. I've heard he likes espresso. And you know what? Ramondi has also told me that he's noticed so many differences with using breakers versus regular nicotine pouches. Just what a better overall experience it is.

Welcome back to Doughboys. Kayla Ewell, Candice King, our guest,
Starting point is 00:50:53 our chain, Fogo de Chow. Nick, they've just noticed the toys we have on the table. I love it. Yeah, we got to, I mean, this is, we're children. We're in perpetual adolescence. That's what's going on here. We've got a, at this point, because part of this is, we're children. We're in perpetual adolescence. That's what's going on here. We've got a, at this point, because part of this is people just send us this stuff,
Starting point is 00:51:08 and then it just accumulates on your table. Well, we've kind of made a thing out of it now. And you keep it here. You know what? You know what? Because of war, should I let the cats out for the second half? Why not, Nick?
Starting point is 00:51:19 Sure. Are you okay with cats? Wait, are you allergic? No. I'm not allergic. No, I love cats. Let them out. All right. I do love this, like, slip and slide Luigi over here.? No, I'm not. No, I love cats. Okay. Let him out. All right.
Starting point is 00:51:25 I do love this like slip and slide Luigi over here. He's like. Oh, yeah. He's on his belly. I know. It's kind of strange. What is this? Why is he on his belly?
Starting point is 00:51:35 I mean, he has a move akin to that in Smash Brothers. Oh, okay. He has kind of a dive. It's not exactly that. He dabs now, doesn't he? Look, they all dab. He does. They all dabs.
Starting point is 00:51:43 Oh, wow. He dabs now. Look, it's Look, they all dab. He does? They all dab. Oh, wow. He dabs now. Look, it's just a thing we have to accept about 2019. So, Fogo de Chão, it's a... And I'm going to butcher the Portuguese pronunciation, but churrascaria is the genre of restaurant. Portuguese word roughly means barbecue. Correct me if you guys know how these things are supposed to be said.
Starting point is 00:52:02 This is founded... It was actually from Brazil. It was founded by a couple of brothers in a rural part of southern Brazil. First location is Porto Alegre, and the second was in Sao Paulo, and then it expanded to the U.S. in 1997. So it was in Brazil for about two decades,
Starting point is 00:52:19 and then came out to the U.S., and now it's got, I believe, was it 52 restaurants? Is that what you said? That's what I saw Candace knew that going in so I would say like the experiences for people who haven't been there it's akin to dim sum you're sitting at tables and they bring the food to you
Starting point is 00:52:34 and you decide what you do and what you don't want but Candace Kayla we threw some chains at you you settled on this one why was this the one you want to talk about Candace had this idea she's like I know let's go to Fogo de chow i was like wait what it seemed so random but it was so fun and it's definitely an experience yes right like we got to do it together and i did the first faux pas where you know that you every person at their place setting has a green and a red side
Starting point is 00:52:58 the red side means don't bring the meat yet right inside me there's like a disc it's a disc yeah the green side means like do it and i used it as a coaster yeah as soon as we sat down so i'm sure that's the first faux pas um you know those things stressed me out it's like the the i knew that this restaurant was gonna stress you out it stressed me out why we should have susser and i susser said he did a bad job of prepping you which i agree with but also how much prep should you need to go to a restaurant sure like i feel like you should go in there and it should be but you were too stressed about it i was too i was immediately like everything about it stressed you know what's funny you know so they're like you're saying there's these discs that are red that means stop i don't want any
Starting point is 00:53:34 more meat yeah in green it means bring meat they have a similar a similar thing at bubblegum shrimp company that's right run forest runner stop forest right I looked at Susser's disc. Both sides were green. I don't know how he, I don't know if he brought it or what the deal was. He took it out of his wallet. Yeah, so our server was, so you guys have been to these before,
Starting point is 00:53:59 been to Fogo de Chão before? Yeah. I've been before here in LA a really long time ago when I was like 18 okay it was like my dad would come into town i'd be like dad we're going to this really cool place it's called bogo de chow and like they just bring meat to you i just thought it was so cool yeah and also i feel like a dad would be like all right like that seems like a dad dad heaven yeah it's a dad
Starting point is 00:54:24 birthday place. Yeah, for sure. A lot of people were celebrating. They assumed we were celebrating something. Yeah, they did. Yeah. They knew that you and I were not dads, though. Why did they not come up with a really great thing we were celebrating?
Starting point is 00:54:38 We should have. We should have lied. We should have. We should have. That would have been amazing. I know. I felt so bad because you guys got there and were already so full. And you got to have room. You got to be I felt so bad because you guys got there and we're already so full. And you got to have like room.
Starting point is 00:54:46 You got to be ready to go. But you guys threw down. I'm impressed. I mean, we ate way too much. Yeah. I mean, the fact that you ate that much already on a full belly, I'm just really impressed. Or disgusted. No, impressed.
Starting point is 00:54:58 We ate pizzones earlier today for another episode. Which is what again? It's Pizza Hut's Calzone. We ate a bunch of Calzone. This is an episode of Doughboy's Double with our buddy Griffin Newman that should be out by the time this episode releases. Yeah, the Pizzone, it was a lot of food
Starting point is 00:55:14 because that's very starchy and meaty and that's a lot of what we were eating today. Our server was Mario. That's right. Not the video game hero. No, no one thought that. No, but a silver-haired gentleman who felt like mom's boyfriend. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:55:31 He's not replacing your father, but mom's just seeing him now. He kind of had that Delphi energy. You know what I'm talking about. He's a silver fox. What's going on in your house? He wants your approval, but he doesn't really need to try that hard. He already had it exactly yeah the thing about fogo to child that's so funny is it's kind of relaxed in the idea that you know you're just sitting there and eating a ton of meat right
Starting point is 00:55:53 together but they they show it to you in this like package of white tablecloths and like waiters with vests on and stuff so it's it's weird because i mean i think at one point i had been like can i use my hands or not i'm confused because they're serving you ribs yeah so you assume like you can probably eat ribs with your hands but you're also like well wait i mean which fork do i use you know it's a weird like juxtaposition that's a great point it has the feel of fine dining but it also is like it's it's so gimmicky that it doesn't feel high class in the same way. What were you going to say, Mitch? Just that my mom's not dating anyone.
Starting point is 00:56:28 When my dad passed away, I said, no one else from here on out. You're married to me. Mario is cool. Mario is cool, but she's married to me now. Yeah, sorry. So, okay, what do we think? Because initially we start with that salad bar, right?
Starting point is 00:56:42 Yeah, so you have a... So as part of the experience, and let me bring up my picture I took of the menu, because this will give people an idea of what you're getting. It's kind of a prefix experience. You can order other things off the menu, but they encourage you to do the Fogo Churrasco experience, continuous table side service of signature cuts of fire roasted meat. And then you get the market table, which is like the salad bar, which has a whole bunch of shit.
Starting point is 00:57:08 It's like a massive salad bar. What did you guys think of that thing? It was endless. So much stuff. This was overwhelming. Just because it is just hard to figure out what you're going to do. Right. That was my one issue.
Starting point is 00:57:21 I was like, I do want a little bit of salad, but I don't want to take too much of the stuff because then I don't want to be stuffed when the meat comes. I don't know what's happening. And then there are sides that come, too, that I even forgot about until they were out on the table. It was... And there was...
Starting point is 00:57:34 The... Feijoada. Thank you. Feijoada is like their traditional dish. And the only thing I know that is my sister-in-law is Brazilian and she makes it all the time. Wow. It actually tastes very similar to the Fogo de Chau one,
Starting point is 00:57:46 which I'm excited to tell her. Shout out to Gisele. But that is also a meal within itself. It's like rice and then on top of it, it's beans and sausage and all this kind of stuff. You could eat just that and be full. Oh, 100%. There's so many choices.
Starting point is 00:58:01 It reminded me of a gumbo. That's what I would compare it to, but obviously with completely different like with black beans and in different more spices. Yeah, but that's the thing. I'm like, am I supposed to get a big bowl of this and then like and I already have
Starting point is 00:58:16 a zone in the you know in the chamber and you've got so much meat coming. I got so much meat coming that there was a lot and I wanted to try it to it just I was with you nick it was it is that moment when i got up to the salad bar i was like oh yeah this is overwhelming and it always is overwhelming every time i go there because i'm like what should i get and what is even good of all this stuff i don't know my theory is they want you to fill up on the salad
Starting point is 00:58:39 bar a lot before they bring the meat because it's got to be cheaper to have the salad bar and then the bread that they bring you right yeah well i also want to think like that there is like kind of maybe this idea that it's supposed to be a longer drawn out dinner like you don't go to fogo to chow to like pop in and have a quick bite right and i think we all knew we had places to be yeah and so we kind of had a little bit more of a system. We're like, we need the salad bar. Now we need the meat. Right. But as opposed to like, oh, we're going to open up a bottle of wine.
Starting point is 00:59:12 We're going to have the salad bar. But having said that, our dinner was two hours long already. And that was us on speedster mode. Yeah. We were there for a while. We were there for a little while. So how long is the normal dinner? Four hours. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:24 I'm a four hour dinner kind of girl. You actually wrapped up our dinner. Nick and I were staring off to space. You're like, can we get our check? Here's for the listeners. No, it was good. Our waiter was like, I'm going to go take a break so someone else will take over your table. And then after a while, I'm like, I don't think anyone knows to take over our table because no one else ever came.
Starting point is 00:59:44 Yeah, Mario just kind of disappeared in the back. I saw him go down a green pipe, Nick. Said, I've got a princess to rescue. Better not leave to my fucking Quincy house. Piece of shit, Mario. Up out in your mom's bedroom. Jesus Christ. So we've got a,
Starting point is 01:00:02 so you get like all the stuff you get from the sides. I'm sorry. All the sides you get from the the fucking salad bar, the market table. Here are some of the things I got. I got the I got myself some asparagus. I got myself some broccoli. I got an apple salad, which was interesting. It was kind
Starting point is 01:00:20 of like it was kind of akin to a tuna salad, but just like a sweeter version of it, like in terms of akin to a tuna salad but just like a a sweeter version of it like in terms of consistency so mayo and apples yeah it was like a chick it was like i've encountered this before with like carrot and raisin salad it was similar to that but with apples it was not bad actually um that sounds kind of whack if you don't mind me saying i tell you it was apples and mayo yeah it was it was like it was i don't know if it was exactly mayo but it was a that kind of creamy sort of dressing about the carrot salad reference so yeah yeah it was like, I don't know if it was exactly mayo, but it was that kind of creamy sort of dressing.
Starting point is 01:00:45 I know what you mean about the carrot salad reference. Yeah, like a coleslaw. Coleslaw made with apples. And then I got a bunch of charcuterie. They've got a ton of charcuterie. There's prosciutto, salami. See, that's weird to me. I agree, because you're going to get so much meat already.
Starting point is 01:00:59 You're getting meat. Yeah, what were you doing? Well, I wanted to try it. It's there. It's part of the experience. I had it too, and it was bomb. Yeah, it was pretty good. It was good?
Starting point is 01:01:06 Oh, really? I think, honestly, the charcuterie might have been in a little bit better quality than the actual meats you were getting. It was really good charcuterie, and a bunch of different cheeses with it. They get a bunch of antipasti. It's just a ton of stuff.
Starting point is 01:01:22 I did get the Fogo Feijoada. Feijoada. Feijoada. Feijoada. Okay, so that's the thing about Portuguese versus a boy. I wish we had our friend Felipe Sobrero, who we know from Twitter, who designed the I'm the Spoonman, gotta love me shirt.
Starting point is 01:01:35 That's right. Wait, is that what it says? I don't know. I'm the Spoonman, who the hell are you? I'm the Spoonman, who the hell are you? I got taken down. Yeah, but he would know how you say these J's in Portuguese. But yeah, I did have a little
Starting point is 01:01:45 bit of that feijoada, and I thought it was pretty good. Akin to like, kind of like similar to a red beans and rice, kind of like a hearty filling thing. It's just like, I just was paralyzed by choice, mostly by that bar. There's just so much. But I think
Starting point is 01:02:01 the food overall was good. I think it was like good quality stuff. Any standouts from the market table for you guys? The charred cauliflower was really delicious. That did look good. I should have had that as well. It was good. It was really good. And yes, I agree.
Starting point is 01:02:15 It was the fash... Feshwada. Feshwada was really delicious. And I put a little of the baked or like crispy... There was like a... No crispy there was like a no there was like a flour oh yeah yucca flour yeah they had some of that and they had the they had some hot sauce
Starting point is 01:02:32 they had some brown sugar I think that you could throw on top of it I think that was the yucca flour that was the yucca flour okay so I did have some of that okay that was nice and that was very nice and the hot sauce was very hot as Mitch learned very hot I warned you Mitch but it was too hot and I didn't even put that much on there and it was still very very hot, as Mitch learned. Very hot. I warned you, Mitch, but it was too hot. And I didn't even put that much on there, and it was still very, very hot.
Starting point is 01:02:48 Wally's joined us, Nick. Your cat is at the table. He never bites or anything. This is the one that Nick is afraid of for whatever reason. We're making eye contact. There he goes. He? He, yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:58 He's making his way over to Nick. All right, let's see what happens. I think he's trying to step on the delete button of the podcast. Snipping the cucumber drink. Doesn't like what he smells. I randomly had a pomegranate on the. I don't know why. Just this one single pomegranate.
Starting point is 01:03:14 Well, you know, you have the little pomegranate seeds inside. That was another part of the whole like, can I use my hands to get these out? Do you use your hands to you don't use a fork to eat pomegranate seeds. It was really good. But as a pomegranate Brazilian, it seems so random. It is. That is very random. you don't use a fork to eat pomegranate seeds it was really good but as a pomegranate brazilian it seems so random it is that is very random i don't know right they did have a lot of just like whole fruit there which is like which i know like the star fruit and all that is part of their but i just didn't know pomegranate was oh yeah jackfruit
Starting point is 01:03:38 i didn't know that pomegranate was it was just random it was very random and then they even had like chicken salad with mayo i saw saw. And I was like, hmm. Interesting. A lot of it I found confounding. Go ahead. They could condense it. They could kind of streamline it. There's a lot of weird stuff there. They could streamline it.
Starting point is 01:03:54 I was just thinking jackfruit. Is that one of your favorite fruits there? Come on. What? You get one of them? Is the word jack? Yeah, I get it. Everyone gets what you're saying.
Starting point is 01:04:05 Like the beanstalk. Yeah. Yes, the classic fairy tale. There was there was there was couscous. I believe right. There was like a like it was just there were like I got some couscous. I think and I got I got some of the cauliflower and I got a deuce. There was there was it was weird because half of it felt like going to the
Starting point is 01:04:24 supermarket at a whole foods deli. Yeah, it was and then also yeah, there was it was weird because half of it felt like going to the supermarket at a whole deli. Yeah, it was and then also yeah, it was it was weird, but I still stand by. I think they just want you to fill up on that right do I think then the good meats coming afterwards. Yeah, and then we so then you get all that. You also get some sides that they give you and here's what we and again refer to the picture. I have of the menu. They have they give you and uh here's what we and again refer to the picture i have of the menu
Starting point is 01:04:45 um they have uh they give you some some potatoes they give you some plantains uh you get a you get some crispy polenta and the plantains are actually caramelized bananas at least according to the the menu description and they also the pow day again i'm gonna butcher the pronunciation uh keijo which is their cheese bread kind of like a plussed up uh cheddar bay biscuit from red lobster that was good those are great those cheese bread biscuit yeah it's delightful and we were saying that they are are they gluten-free did one of you guys said that they were gluten-free i know that there's like the traditional way of making them i'm pretty sure and I'm sorry if I if it's if I'm wrong, I apologize. But I think I'm under the impression that the traditional way of making them, it's gluten free.
Starting point is 01:05:31 And you can also buy them at Whole Foods. They're called Bratsy Bites. B-R-A-Z-I Bites. And you just pop them in the oven for 15 minutes and they taste just like that. They're really good. God, that little. Yeah, it's like soft and gooey in the middle. Yeah, they're it's a surprise
Starting point is 01:05:47 that you get those right off the bat. Right. At first I was like, do these need butter? And then I was like, oh, it's cheese inside. It's funny. I kind of wanted tomato sauce to dip them in like a garlic knot kind of idea. Yeah, I thought it did maybe need something, but it felt almost like two plant, but they were still
Starting point is 01:06:03 good. They were still tasty. Yeah. Nick, as far as I can't remember the name of my drink and I looked at it, I was going to try to... Oh, we didn't talk about beverages. I was going to try to one-up you and I can't remember the name of it at all. It's strawberry hibiscus something. It's like the special booze. I think that
Starting point is 01:06:21 what you just said is what it is. It's a Brazilian liqueur. I didn't even know when you said it. What is it called? Excuse me. Capriana? Capriana? Maybe. Yes.
Starting point is 01:06:29 Yeah. Yeah, that's what it looks like. That's not the name of the liquor, but I forget the name of the exact liquor. Yours was a strawberry hibiscus version of those. Yeah. The liquor is Cachaca. Boy, I should have done some research on this. There's an accent underneath the C that I'm not sure how you pronounce it.
Starting point is 01:06:47 Oh, boy. We'll fix all this in post. It's got that with hibiscus, muddled strawberries, and lime. The drink I got. Yes, go for it. There's a bug flying around, Candice said. My apartment is too gross that there's a bug flying around. Do you know what I want to say, though?
Starting point is 01:07:01 Yes. This is, it's not, wait, that not better, but it's Beverly Hills at Jason. It feels that it's on Crescent, right? No, it's on La Cienega. La Cienega. I'm sorry. La Cienega. And it's it's right across the street from Lowry's.
Starting point is 01:07:15 It is like a nice spot, but they have a restaurant row. It was bug central outside when we first went when we first got there. Hold that against the restaurant for there being a lot of bugs. That's just the season. One of them got back here in my apartment it certainly isn't from my place didn't tail you all the way it must have tailed us from the restaurant there was a lot of bugs out from out in front there it's a ride there were there really were there really were i don't think it's fair to factor that into the review i don't think that's on the restaurant um the uh uh that was just the outdoors you can't you smuggled one of those bugs back here to embarrass me yes you
Starting point is 01:07:49 did um the uh the drink i got was the brazilian gentleman which was bourbon passion fruit and honey uh with tawny port and uh and some bitters um i thought this was you know it was kind of it kind of had a buttery character to it it was it was not bad it like the appearance of it was really like it was kind of like look like a black and it. It was not bad. The appearance of it was really, it was kind of like a black and tan. It was aesthetically pleasing. You know, kind of buttery, maybe a little, as I sipped it and as some of the more of that port settled into it,
Starting point is 01:08:15 it tasted maybe a little medicine-y. It wasn't like the most amazing cocktail ever, but it was fine. It felt like they were doing something interesting. Mitch, you like your drink? You just caught the bug. I just caught the bug. That was fucking badass. He mid-air caught the bug. I was upset with the bug like they were doing something interesting. Mitch, you like your drink? You just caught the bug. I just caught the bug.
Starting point is 01:08:25 That was fucking badass. He mid-air caught the bug. I was upset with the bug. Wow, I'm impressed. Hopefully, it's dead. I kind of just put it down below the table. I mean, you have very large hands, so you do have a little bit of an advantage there.
Starting point is 01:08:39 Mine also maybe just was inside there and didn't get killed. You're built-in number one fan foam fingers. Wyger always says I have catcher's mitts for hands. You got big hands. Yes, I'm a monster. I fucking get it, for God's sakes. How tall are you? How tall are you?
Starting point is 01:08:56 I'm six foot two and a half. Okay. Yeah, I never want to say a half. My mom always pushes me to say a half. You should round up to six three. Why don't I listen to my mom. What the hell has become of me?
Starting point is 01:09:06 She did just take you to Disneyland. Yeah. And also my stomach is hurting. Nick, we ate too much today. This is too much.
Starting point is 01:09:16 Yeah, it was a lot of food. But I will say with those little sides that came with the meal, those plantains were delicious.
Starting point is 01:09:22 They were good. They were very good. And that fried polenta was really good. Yeah, that was nice. I love a good fried polenta. I very good and that fried polenta was really good yeah that was nice i i love a good fried polenta i actually like to make fried polenta and that was really good whoa can i tell you guys something i'm thinking this because i was nervous about my stomach hurting and i and i told nick i was like i hope my stomach doesn't hurt for this whole thing but uh in my bathroom right now this isn't so excited to see in my bathroom right now, this isn't live. I'm so excited to see where this goes. In my bathroom right now is a candle you gifted me for Mitch Live.
Starting point is 01:09:50 When you guys were on Mitch Live. You know what's funny? I walked into your bathroom. I was like, it smells really good in here. Does it smell like Christmas? Oh, my God. You went into that bathroom. That bathroom is a nightmare.
Starting point is 01:09:57 Stop it. It's a nightmare. I need someone to help come over here and clean my apartment a little bit. But that candle smells amazing. And it's the small little candle that's so strong. What is it? I need another one. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:10:13 I have like 20 in my. What is the brand of it? It's a weird candle. I have a weird. Well, with this one in particular. With only this candle. It's so good. Nick, my place smells like trash half the time.
Starting point is 01:10:25 I don't think actually the smell is the issue here. I think generally this place smells pretty fine. But these candles, I mean, because I have two cats. These candles, it's such a small package and it works so well. What's the brand? It's Nest. You're half of that, Mitch. It's Nest Candles.
Starting point is 01:10:44 And it's their fucking holiday candle. Right. Oh, okay. It's a specific holiday candle. And I think all of their candles smell wonderful, but it's this specific one that just makes me so happy. And I order way too many of them on Amazon. It doesn't even have that specific of a holiday smell to me.
Starting point is 01:11:02 It just smells nice. It smells like joy. It does smell like joy. Is it called joy? No, it's called holiday. Literally, it's like this. It comes in a red velvet velour box. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:11:13 And it's like, and you open it and it's got like little like gold stripes down the side and you light it and you're just happy. It's great. I don't know what they put in that candle, but it gets you real jazzed. There's some fumes coming off that thing. No, I thank you for that gift. candle but it gets your real jazz there's some fumes coming off that yeah uh no i i i i thank you for that gift it was it uh it it held i light it every time people come out and now it's about to die so i'm very sad have you looked through the nude book that we got you on being a nudist i
Starting point is 01:11:35 i have there's people who come over like why the fuck do you have this book you know about the internet, right? It's like... I'm not pulling a Fred Willard and going down to the tiki showroom, for God's sakes. I met Fred. He's a great guy. He's a great guy. You never bring that up. I mean, I'm saying you're implying that.
Starting point is 01:11:59 I know what the internet is. Wait, so this is a book of people who are nudists, the kind of people who go to camps and go out in the wilderness and such? No, it's just kind of a joke book on how to... No, it's a real book. It's real. It's a real book. It's a real book. I thought we were gifting you a joke book on how to be a nudist.
Starting point is 01:12:14 No, it is a real book. I purchased a real book from a true, really great old bookstore, and it's on how to be a nudist. Wow. Respectfully. I think it's right over there be a nudist. It's respectfully. I think it's right over there, by the way. What have you learned from this book?
Starting point is 01:12:29 I've, I've learned that I will never be a nudist. I went to the picture page and was like, Oh my God. Yeah. I, I turned to the, the, like the,
Starting point is 01:12:36 the intro, uh, and it had incompatible body types and then had two guys that look like me and you. Um, do you, uh, so we didn't, we didn't hear it touching your guys cocktails. The, the, uh, and then had two guys that looked like me and you. Do you, so we didn't touch on your guys' cocktails. What did you guys get for, Kayla, I know you're not drinking right now. You got something non-alcoholic.
Starting point is 01:12:54 Yeah, I got a mocktail. How was that? That the waiter recommended, and actually it was fantastic. So it was sort of an adult version of a strawberry lemonade, I guess. I'm sure it was packed with sugar, it was so good and i also felt like i was joining the club and having a drink and it was aesthetically pleasing and really beautiful a lot of fun yeah yeah that's a good order yeah a strawberry lemonade is one of my that's one of my favorite lemonade variants oh yeah i think it might be my favorite lemonade variant they do that
Starting point is 01:13:18 right that's uh is there any other one to go with besides strawberry lemonade blueberry lemonade i mean there's obviously there there's peach lemonade. Yeah. I'm going strawberry lemonade. Strawberry's the go-to, yeah. Strawberry's the best one. Yeah. Or default.
Starting point is 01:13:29 I just like a default one. I know you like the regular version. Or an Arnold Palmer. Arnold Palmer. Yeah. All day long. Oh, and Nick does the Nick Weiger. Yeah, the Nick Weiger, which is a one-third lemonade, two-thirds iced tea.
Starting point is 01:13:40 Slightly better proportion. It's my own creation. I like it. I jumped on the happy hour train because I love a good happy hour. And guess what? Fogo de Chão has an excellent happy hour. Great to know.
Starting point is 01:13:51 It could have been a $12, $13 glass of wine and I got mine for six. It was a Malbec from Argentina. Wow. Saved Evan Susser some money. Yeah. You're welcome, guys. And I had a few of them.
Starting point is 01:14:05 They do have a pretty extensive wine list there, which is, you're welcome, guys. And I had a few of them. They do have a pretty extensive wine list there, which is good to know with all the meats they have. Did you just have the one cocktail? He usually is tossing down a few ones, too. I felt like a booze hound. I was ready for it. I was like, oh, great. We're all going to have a couple cocktails.
Starting point is 01:14:18 And then you guys were like, no, I'm fine. They were just too full. I think you guys were just too full. I was so groggy. I feel like if I had another cocktail, I would just be asleep right now. Because that's what too much alcohol does to me. I just doze off.
Starting point is 01:14:33 God. Dream. Let's get into the meats. So they bring them around to you. They started with the sausage. They started with a sausage. You're jumping right in. What did you guys think?
Starting point is 01:14:43 Did we all get that sausage? It's a piece of chicken and sausage right yeah they so i think they i don't know if there are a few meats coming at us at one time as soon as you turn over your your little green coaster they're like they come all onto you like they hound you yeah around you because i think there's moments when they're really out there and i think when we turned it green they were really out there and they they they hit us hard uh the the sausage thing i got the last end of the sausage thing so it wasn't a great start and there was another piece of chicken i don't know if it was with the sausage but it was one of the first things i had and i thought the chicken was good but the sausage was
Starting point is 01:15:17 just a little too hard it was the bottom of that skewer and i think it was just a little overcooked yeah i got a bad piece for people who haven't been been here, they are carrying around like big skewers, like big sword-length skewers of their meats and then they're carving them table side and then you have these little tongs
Starting point is 01:15:32 that you're supposed to use to take them off of which I was not able to master. I used my hands. You lost yours at first. I lost my tongs immediately. I don't know what happened. Yeah, what the hell did you do?
Starting point is 01:15:40 I don't know. We were down a tong. Yeah, I don't know where they went. Did you steal your tongs, you weirdo? What did I do with the the tongs i don't know what you freak what you would do with them but did you steal did no i didn't steal the tongs i feel like you stole the tongs i did too honestly i think he stole them i mean i wish i had because we could bust them out right now that would be a real little david blaine reveal um uh yeah no the uh no i don't know the tongs just disappeared i may have knocked them under the table or something or maybe the the they no, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:16:05 The tongs just disappeared. I may have knocked them under the table or something, or maybe they got boss. I don't know, Blaine Saucer. But yeah, they give you a lot of meats right away. So the spicy pork sausage and the chicken, I think were the first two. The pork sausage, just garlic, onion, and red chili,
Starting point is 01:16:21 and then the chicken is in a beer and brandy marinade. What do we think of those? I like my sausage charred a little bit. Yeah. And so I didn't get the end. I didn't get the end of the sausage that you got, the tip of it that you got, Mitch. I had more of the middle part of the sausage
Starting point is 01:16:40 while you were eating the tip. Yeah. And I found it to be quite juicy. Yeah. And firm and it to be quite juicy. Yeah. And firm and what I wanted out of a sausage. Mine was hard and small. Oh, God.
Starting point is 01:16:58 What, Nick? Nothing. I was going to say I had a similar, I thought the sausage was one of the highlights because I did think some of the meats i got everyone loved the sauce i like my sausage i think some of the meats i got late later on were like on the dry side but that this one did have some good moisture i got a bad sausage this sucks yeah the chicken was great chicken was i always like chicken there's nothing i feel like it's really hard to mess up chicken juicy it kind of fell off the bone mine wasn't that juicy i got the end the bottom part of this
Starting point is 01:17:25 he fucked me over they liked you i don't like that guy that asshole okay how was your bacon wrapped filet mignon that was decent see mine was not good oh i loved mine i got i got a gritty piece i had like mine also and i wonder if because we were in similar spots on the table uh around the table if we got similar cuts because i also want my my bacon wrapped filet mignon i thought was not good um but we yeah we also got the what else do we miss or what are the what are the meats there was there was just like a good actual steak oh yeah and i really he gave me the kind of peppered edge and i love that yeah and so i got like the meaty center and then like the crust as well and
Starting point is 01:18:05 i thought it was so good that i really like yeah there were there were there was there was two there were two there were two there was a thicker cut one that was maybe uh that wasn't the flavor that came after the filet and then there was the one that was like the edge that ones that had like the crisp outside yeah i got the was that the tenderloin then if it was crispy yeah i think oh yeah i think so and And I liked it. I liked both of them. I thought both of the steaks that I got after the flamin bacon wrapped filet mignon were were higher quality and were really, really, really good.
Starting point is 01:18:33 And I was like, man, this if this was like if this was just what I got as an entree, I'd be really if it was a bigger version of that, I'd be really happy. I feel like all the meat is good. Like I didn't do I didn't do the pork. The pork rib was my absolute favorite. Yeah, and they serve that at the end. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:18:50 I mean, honestly, it was so good and you didn't need sauce or anything on it. Whatever rub they had. What does it say? It's a white wine and it's a special seasoning mixture and then heavily seasoned in a good way and fantastic, really juicy. We were tapped out. you and susser i believe are the only uh rib takers yeah i believe they're still there
Starting point is 01:19:09 i don't think susser's button went went uh red honestly i think i think he stayed green the entire time i gotta give it to him uh yeah i mean the meat is the reason to go and there's a lot of it i think just like to get you know to get your money's worth go with an empty stomach
Starting point is 01:19:26 because you want to make sure to be able to try everything. And if you get too full, you know, you might miss out on some of those particularly savory pieces. And then we, any other thoughts on the meats before we? Yes. What I liked about what the waiter said is, hey, look at the meats that we're going to serve you. And if you have a specific choice, let us know.
Starting point is 01:19:42 Right. So what we could have done and maybe now in hindsight, now that we know what we like and we don't like, we can say like, hey, make sure you bring us this and this. So then you can be more selective. Put in some requests. Yeah. If you're going back there. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:53 That's good advice. Yeah. I wouldn't have like taken everything that they immediately gave us. I would have like waited. Yeah. Till like the pork ribs. Irma came up on the table and is basically meowing into a microphone. It is always chaos when I do this.
Starting point is 01:20:06 Yeah. It is like roar. Basically, it's insane. Makes the show more entertaining. Now it does. This is Irma. This is the this is Wally's sister. Oh, hey, Irma.
Starting point is 01:20:15 She's sniffing things. She'll leave soon enough. Yeah. Go. We're gonna say much. Here's it. Well, I don't know if I should say this until after the desserts. Why?
Starting point is 01:20:28 All right. I just don't know if this is a place that i'm i don't know if it's a i'm sorry i didn't mean to touch your hand there uh god we're so me too now he's like nick and i have been like this for 30 something years. I think we're just afraid of everyone, male and female. I apologize to my mom for that. I just also apologize to my mom for my life choice. Well, what's wrong? She must love that you're a podcaster. I don't know how often I'm going to be coming to this place to be a regular. Sure.
Starting point is 01:21:08 That's my issue with it. Well, it's expensive, and it's a lot. Yeah. It's like very heavy. I mean, we'll get into that, too. But the food is good. I just don't. Is it a place that you?
Starting point is 01:21:19 It is expensive. I don't know how often you go back here. The last time I went here to the one in LA, I went with Harris and Arm, and we went on a guy's night dinner over there. Right. But it's an expensive meal, and it's just also a place where you're going to go and feel. You're going to stuff yourself.
Starting point is 01:21:42 You're going to feel sick. It's a king's feast. It's a king's feast. It's a king's feast. It's a special occasion place, I think, by its nature. Let's touch on the desserts real quick. So we got a couple of the more traditional ones, and then one that Mario recommended. We got the papaya cream,
Starting point is 01:21:59 which they say is the most popular dessert in Brazil. It's fresh papaya blended with vanilla, akin to a Dole Wh whip uh and then they throw on a black currant uh liqueur uh they do that table side we also got ourselves what is it the the how do you say the bowls b-o-l-z we did balls the lick the liquor that's what it was right was it balls yeah i don't think it was that it was i thought it was maybe it was a generic balls um we also got the i don't think it was that. It was. I thought it was. Maybe it was a generic balls. We also got the. I don't think you say it like balls. It's B-O-L-Z, right?
Starting point is 01:22:31 I thought it was B-A-W-L-Z. B-O-L-Z was what he was. Are we talking about different things? The one that he poured on that dessert. Hold on. B-O-L-Z. I didn't see it. I didn't see it. Oh, God.
Starting point is 01:22:40 It is what he poured on the dessert. I'm so sure. I've always heard of it as B-A-W-L-S. Uh-oh. We've had this argument. We have had this exact argument. We're repeating ourselves. Does it just look like B-O-L-Z?
Starting point is 01:22:54 I don't know. Maybe you see. There's no B-O-L-Z? I searched for Bowles, and I got David Bowles, an actor. Sorry, Sean Bowles, an author. I don't think that's what you're talking about i don't i okay we'll talk about the other desserts because i want to get to that liquor okay wait here we go bowls the world's oldest distilled liquor brand b-o-l-s oh it's not a z so that's the issue
Starting point is 01:23:18 it was cooler than it was however there is a b-a-w-l-s as well that's a different drink so we're both right we're just talking about different things. Look at that. Yeah. Yeah. I was more right. So, and then we got the Brazilian style flan, which is vanilla and egg custard with creme caramel.
Starting point is 01:23:34 And we got the creme brulee, which was, you know what a creme brulee is. This is a vanilla bean version. What do we think of the desserts? Huge fan. Yeah. They were good. Actually, I think kind of my favorite part of the whole thing. Yeah, surprisingly.
Starting point is 01:23:46 Right? And I'm not a big flan or flan, however you say it, person. And that was really good. Same with the creme brulee. Both of those, I'm not like, ooh, I need a bite of those. But then once I started to eat, I couldn't really stop. It was good. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:58 I am a creme brulee fan. And that was a good execution. Go ahead. I was not into the flan. Oh, interesting. It was not my favorite time having flan. I feel like I've had
Starting point is 01:24:06 better flans, but I loved that papaya cream. That was great. It was good. With the liqueur. My issue is that I didn't like the liqueur. I didn't like the bols
Starting point is 01:24:15 or whatever we found out that it is. I didn't like the... It was kind of a little too medicine-y tasting to me, but I liked, sure, the actual dessert underneath it. I really enjoyed.
Starting point is 01:24:27 Well, I think that because they poured it over. And the other two I thought were good, too. I think if you just take a bite of what's up on top and you get a lot of that liqueur, I think you're supposed to dig down in there a little bit and sort of mix that liqueur in. Yeah. I think that you might have just gotten too much of a portion of the liqueur. Okay. I think that was the issue of the bowls.
Starting point is 01:24:44 Yeah. Yes. Bowl. Is that what was the issue of the balls. Yeah. Yes. Is that what you're saying? We don't know how we say it. B-O-L-S. Bowls. Bowls. Bells.
Starting point is 01:24:57 People are going insane as they listen to this. The meat crazy. The meat's gone to our mind. i okay i agree with you mentioned the sense that i would i go back and like rush to go back there i don't know especially because i think that's the trouble living in la there's so many great restaurants and a lot of them are maybe a better price point for just as good quality of food yeah so i mean i guess the only
Starting point is 01:25:25 time i would go there is if i'm with yeah if i want a really long dinner and like an experience right and i want to take someone there for the first time or something like that your nephew's graduating yeah totally doesn't seem like that special occasion doesn't seem like that cienega strip there yeah doesn't it feel like that was like in the 90s that was the that was the they were kings it was the happening spot it was like 90s? That was the, that was the, they were kings. It was the happening spot. It was like the Sunset Strip, but for the, you know, the Beverly Hills set. Elite diners.
Starting point is 01:25:51 Right. Yeah. And now it feels like that. It doesn't feel that way anymore. Not, I mean, it was still, I mean, it was a Thursday night. It was still pretty crowded in there. But it's, these aren't the, the Hollywood power brokers aren't there anymore. Now it's like an older crowd.
Starting point is 01:26:03 Yeah. Or tourists. Or tourists, yes. Even in the mid-thousands. Remember K yeah like that was very hip and even like the belmont was always so fun but here's the thing i feel like those rest like like it just hasn't changed with the times they didn't adapt they just stayed tried and true which i like that but sometimes maybe you adapt a little bit to the changing times. It seems it seems like that it very
Starting point is 01:26:27 much feels like a like a what's all God now I can't frozen in time. Yes, different time capsule. Thank you. I'm an idiot. It feels like you found it yourself. Thank you, Nick. It felt like a time. It feels like you are an idiot. Damn it. It feels like it. That whole
Starting point is 01:26:43 strip feels like a time capsule and like laurie's which uh laurie's which which which is a place that like i feel like overcomes that because people love it so much or something but even when you go in there sometimes it feels it feels like it just hasn't changed with the times it feels like it's behind yeah well so that's that's my that's that is my issue with my voice does that matter though i don't know we're gonna find out so let's get to our final thoughts uh so candace kayla here's how this will work we will each go around take a a brief moment to sort of give our summation uh of our of our review of this experience and then uh end by giving it a review from a score rather from zero to five forks uh so Candice, Kayla, you are our guests.
Starting point is 01:27:26 We will begin with you. Candice, let's start over here. I think if you're looking for a group experience or a fun and unusual date place, I think Fogo de Chao is right up your alley. I think you can go there for a birthday or an anniversary or a graduation or maybe a second or third date for the novelty of it yeah um and you just have to stage out your
Starting point is 01:27:53 courses right now just definitely go for like the the meats that they're going to bring to you but don't go nuts at the salad bar order the bottle of wine or two bottles to really slow and pace your meal out. If you go early bird style like we did, you get an excellent happy hour, so you get to kind of cut down on the costs. And order the desserts. They're delicious. I will say, though, that they do need to bring up their
Starting point is 01:28:18 get up to speed on the time, so I will give it, can I do a half fork? Absolutely. I will do a two and a half forks. Wow. Two and a half forks, okay. Oh, shit tough grade that was a tough grade i'm surprised no very fair no i mean mine's close but i would say prepare for it like you do thanksgiving maybe wear some stretchy pants yeah and don't eat for the rest of the day yeah and then you know when you're preparing to go and you know go for the sausage and then see where it goes after that.
Starting point is 01:28:47 There was someone we were commenting about someone in a light pink or light blue Bentley stepping out of his car while you're there. So you can also go for, you know, the experience. But I would probably go. I was going to say three and a half forks. First of all, you guys also broke these down better than we've. Yeah. We suck at our own podcast.
Starting point is 01:29:12 Yeah, you guys can't come back. You make us look bad. It sucks. We suck at reviewing food. We don't know how to talk. But you guys still come on ours? Yeah, of course. Okay.
Starting point is 01:29:21 I like this. The meat was good when I was having the meat i i maybe disagree about the date spot thing even a third date because the meat sweats will happen to you yeah maybe if you're wearing an adult diaper what are you doing on your third date mitch where are you oh well. Oh, that's right. Oh, boy. On the third date, I guess I have the meat sweats on every date I've ever been on. It doesn't matter if I've even eaten meat or not. So my thing about eating food on dates is like you're kind of screwed when you're a girl.
Starting point is 01:29:57 Because like if you're trying to be like, oh, I'm going to eat a salad. There's no like cute, sexy way to eat a salad. You're just like shoving like giant pieces of lettuce that are going to get stuck in your teeth, into your face. I don't like... It's too much. If I get stuffed, I feel like I'm just looking like a fool when I eat.
Starting point is 01:30:16 Right. I mean, there's too much going on, especially at a place like this. I feel like I would just be all in my head. I wouldn't love it. Well, I enjoyed eating with you this evening. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:29 For this date, for the date that we had together. For our double date. For our double date, it was amazing. With our chaperone, Evan Susser. Who left at the end. He did, yeah. Sick of us. No, he got his fill and then he left.
Starting point is 01:30:47 That was exactly what happened. This is a really hard restaurant for me to review. It's tough because I think that the food in this in the meat is actually good. It's just such a weird thing. It needs to be more up to date. I went there with van and his dad when you guys know van and when I was in San Diegogo for comic-con uh and and when i was down when i was down there it felt like the quality of it was not as nice as this this restaurant on the cienega strip here uh and that's going in there i kind of felt like a like i i feel like
Starting point is 01:31:18 i was looking like pig pen i felt i felt kind of shitty yeah but then i don't even know then it is kind of a place where people are wearing hats that's the thing you were like should i take my hat off i'm like that guy right there's wearing a hat baseball hat so i don't even know what i don't even know what it's having an identity crisis it is it it really is and and and and i don't and and that me and then i i'm having a crisis trying to say whether that meat is high level or if'm going to go to a place like in LA, the place next to Mozza, the Cheese Baka or whatever, like, yeah, Cheese Baka, that has like delicious steaks. You're comparing it, though, to like a high-end standalone steakhouse. You're comparing it to a chain.
Starting point is 01:31:56 Uber trendy. But for the price, why am I not going there? Yes. Good point. Right? Yeah, no, it's true. I would go there first, but then it's not bad either. It's just such a weird place.
Starting point is 01:32:07 It's a weird, frustrating place to me. I'm going to go three and a quarter forks. Three and a quarter forks. Yeah. Evan Susser. And that's weird because it's good. Yeah, it's good. It's a good place.
Starting point is 01:32:17 It's good. It is so distinct and specific. Susser texted me his review. Disappointed with my experience my experience meats mostly same tasting pork ribs the exception good yep uh kayla's raising her hand stressful meat stressful pulling meat off with the tongs i agree also lost my tongs uh it wasn't as joyful and experienced as my previous times at fogo this was my first time at fogo so This was my first time at Fogo, so this was my maiden voyage to this chain. I thought the bounty of food that is there,
Starting point is 01:32:50 that in and of itself is impressive, and I think that's part of the experience. They're just trying to overwhelm you with variety, with the amount of stuff that you have. It stressed me out a little bit, as I said, but it is impressive to see, and I think the service is good. They come fast and furious with them meats.
Starting point is 01:33:06 And they have them ready when you flip that coaster over. Usually when you're in there, you can eat a lot faster than we even did today. You can really get going right away if you want. Yeah, they'll really come at you with the skewers. But I think I generally agree with Mitch's assessment, although I harped on it a little bit. I think you're right that if you're going to spend this amount of money if you're going to spend you know i i the menu price i think for what we got today was it was 64 ahead like it's it's a lot of money that's a lot if you're going to spend that much for one person like wouldn't you rather
Starting point is 01:33:38 just get i feel like i'd rather just get like a nice ribeye and like some cream spinach or something like a classic steakhouse uh but that said i think it's good at what he does what it does and for that reason i'm gonna go right in the middle and say this is an even three forks sfoga to chow is solid and hey that was our review of foga to chow we've given popeye's chicken like five forks popeye's chicken rules it is it is great i'll have popeye's anytime i'll foga to chow is once a year i'll pop eyes twice a month that's also like yeah the price difference too i mean you for sure expect a different level of it's just weird to me because the food isn't really bad it's just it's but i don't know the food isn't bad but the experience was weird yeah well that's because you were eating
Starting point is 01:34:18 dinner with us right definitely wasn't mitch you got to beef with Popeyes because you look like Bluto. That was Fogo de Chow. It's time for a segment. We got a beverage. We're going to decide if it's worth pouring down your throat. It's Drank or Stank. Drank or Stank. Drank or Stank.
Starting point is 01:34:38 We got the hot beverage of the hour. Do you guys want cups or do you want to go straight from can? Okay. All right. Here we go. This is Coke's first new flavor in 12 years. They haven't introduced one since Vanilla Coke Zero. Got a lot of can openings on Mike.
Starting point is 01:34:52 I like that. You were the one who didn't end last. You didn't do it with us. Well, sorry. It was written copy. Oh, God. That's what I do on the show. You know, I've seen actually billboards for this around the city and thought, what does this taste like?
Starting point is 01:35:04 I know. I've been so skeptical seeing the... Oh, you're already getting in there. You're going to find out. Whoa. Feel free to sniff it. I'm going to do the smell test. It smells orangey. It smells like an orange soda. Do you have like a wine glass so we can decant it? Oh, man. That's the only use of my wine glasses in
Starting point is 01:35:18 this house is for soda. I can smell the orange off the top. It smells more like an orange soda to me than it does like smelling a Coke, even though Coke doesn't smell necessarily. It's very orange and very vanilla. Yeah. This would be a delightful candle. It's good.
Starting point is 01:35:34 I feel like I want more Coke flavor. Is anyone else feeling that? Yes. It is so aggressively orange. It tastes like- I think it's aggressively vanilla. Vanilla, I do too. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:44 Hold on. I got to have another sip. See, I had the direct orange and then it finishes with the vanilla. Yeah. It doesn't lie. There is orange and vanilla in this. Orange off the top finishes with the vanilla, but you missed the Coca-Cola in the middle. I want the Coke flavor
Starting point is 01:35:58 a little more. Yeah, I might not know this was a Coke if I was taste testing it blind. I like the smell of it better than the taste. Is that weird? No, not at all no not at all smell it yeah it's a great candle nick we've talked about this things that are better smelling than tasting and we're saying like the smell of waffle cones sure it's like better than maybe even eating them yeah never quite delivers the best example you could come up with subway does anyone else love the smell of subway the subway bread is that weird like the bread smells good and then it's not good it's not the bread is
Starting point is 01:36:30 not great i agree with you i don't know about this i'm a little disappointed in the vanilla orange coke boy it's it's tough for me to evaluate this it's because it is good but i'm married to coke go ahead why don't they just say it's a coca-cola why don't they just not have coconut and it's an orange vanilla soda is that weirder well that's how it tastes so it feels like it should i mean that's why i'm like and then like just remove the coke altogether from it i mean that just becomes a thing of like it's it's why they they brand these different oreo flavors as oreos instead of calling them some new cookie that's got a you know know, a wintergreen flavor, whatever the fuck they're doing these days.
Starting point is 01:37:07 Yeah, this is a, is this going to stick around? Right. Is lemon lime flavored. That's true. Coca-Cola company, but not a lemon lime Coke.
Starting point is 01:37:16 This feels like this could be maybe a Sprite varietal. Like I get what you're saying there. Yeah, I agree. What is, what is, what is Coke's orange drink product? What,
Starting point is 01:37:24 what, it's not sun kissed, right? I don't know. Fanta might be a Fanta. Yeah, I don. What is Coke's orange drink product? It's not Sunkissed, right? I don't know. Fanta? Might be a Fanta. Yeah, I don't know. We should know this. I am going to say, that said, I agree with the overall assessment. Leads with the orange, finishes with the vanilla. Not a lot of Coke in there, but
Starting point is 01:37:37 I still think it's pleasant. And I think if I'm evaluating on its own merits, for me, this is a mild drink. I feel like I would have this, for me, this is a mild drank. I feel like I would have this if this was what was around. I would enjoy drinking this. I am going to go with a soft drank as well. Oh, a soft drank.
Starting point is 01:37:56 A soft drank. Perfect. It's not a stank for me. No. Because I still like the taste of it. But am I ever going to? this is like good for college kids you know it's funny you say college because my instinct is this tastes like it already has alcohol in it or the drink is good yeah but it's good but because you know it's good for an alcohol
Starting point is 01:38:17 beverage alcoholic beverage where you can still kind of taste the fakeness of it i don't know this is like a thing that like you would go to a college dorm room and they're like we're like mixing this with this and then you'd like come back an hour later and they would like be past like they'd be so fucked up that they didn't even do anything yeah like this this is what it tastes like a like a mix it tastes like a mixer that college kids would love you'd pour bacardi 151 in this and then someone would end up in urgent care. Yeah. Or Goldschlager's. Oh, yeah. Goldschlager was cool. It had the gold flakes in it, Nick.
Starting point is 01:38:48 I looked at it, and I never quite got it because I was like, I don't know if I want to be drinking gold. When was this, might I ask? It was in college. So you were at a party, and you were just staring at the bottle of Goldschlager? Some kids had some Goldschlager and took a look at it,
Starting point is 01:39:02 and they got out of there. That was your night? No, I hung out. Candice, what do you think of this? What are the levels? Basically, drink or stank is the binary, but if you want to
Starting point is 01:39:13 give any sort of... We give it soft drink, soft stank. Okay, yeah. It's a soft drink. I probably wouldn't buy this. I'm still like a cherry Coke. Cherry Coke
Starting point is 01:39:22 is the best variety of Coke, I'd say. But I'm not... I honestly thought I would hate it more. I thought it was going to be more vanilla heavy. Yeah. I'm going to go opposite of you. I really thought I'd like it and I don't love it. So I think I'm going to do a soft stank.
Starting point is 01:39:35 Wow. Soft stank. Wow. Wow. Well, no one's, I mean, no one's hard at one end of the spectrum or the other. We're all kind of like in that mushy middle to varying degrees. So yeah, this is not something that I think anyone's going to love or hate. It's interesting. It's worth trying.
Starting point is 01:39:50 How are there so many bugs in my house tonight? Is it when I brought in the Roomba? What the hell happened? It's freaking me out. I mean, there's just one more, right? Yeah, there's just, I mean, I think it is just one more, but that's why I let the cats out. They eat the things usually. Yeah. I don't know. I mean yeah i don't know i don't
Starting point is 01:40:05 know what would i mean it might be the piles of trash you have in here that's one pile of trash from earlier today has pizones in it okay it was the pizones it's the pizones probably is the pizones the meat sweats in the pizones i do i i my the meat sweats have now officially kicked they're real it is it is started nick like i'm surprised the top of my jeans are still buttoned. Oh, yeah. It's painful. Like I said, I started this weight loss competition, and my belt is hurting right now.
Starting point is 01:40:32 I have to loosen it. I'm getting the meat sweats. I just have regular old flop sweat. That's what I'm always working with. Just like a restaurant, we value your feedback. Let's open up the feedback. Today's email comes to us from Jay. Jay writes, as a pilot for a major U.S. airline.
Starting point is 01:40:47 Wow. I thought it was Leno. It could still be. That's right, Jay. It's a retired Jay Leno. Like Travolta, he's gotten into flying planes now. Why does that happen? Same with Harrison Ford.
Starting point is 01:41:03 Yeah, why is Harrison Ford doing it? You got so much money, you got to do something with it. You got to have some sort of rich guy hobby. So you get into classic cars, or you get into flying planes, or you get into motorcycles, or you get a yacht. Everyone likes vehicles. As a pilot for a major US airline, I have eaten at airports a lot. I've never had Shake Shack, but didn't want to try it in the LAX airport.
Starting point is 01:41:24 Wow. Kayla gasped at never had Shake shack but didn't want to try it in the lax airport wow uh kayla gasped it never had shake shack go ahead continue i'm worried the airport quality won't hold up to a real location is this a valid concern is there a chain you like but won't get in an airport he was he was you know what it's funny he he was wrong because the shake shack in the airport actually does taste like shake shack it's just just as good. And especially when you're traveling, it's like the best thing to get. It's good. For me, I almost never want to eat because I'm afraid of having the meat sweats on the plane or anything like that. Like anything.
Starting point is 01:41:56 I'm afraid of that. It's actually the opposite, Nick. We've talked about this before where I've eaten Burger King before I've gone on a plane, which is a place I never usually eat at anymore because it was available like but that this is also LAX in 2006 or whatever. When Burger King was like one of your only options, but I don't know. I don't know if there's a place that I don't eat at. How about you guys? I the only thing I won't really eat at an airport is usually sushi or like chico sushi everything else i'll kind of eat and airports are so great these days um like they're really
Starting point is 01:42:33 stepping up their game they are yeah so my favorite is um because my husband's from denver so we did long distance from atlanta to denver a lot so we kind of like knew had like our travel days scheduled around like where we would eat in the airport. And my favorite is that there's this place called Root Down in Denver. Shout out to Root Down. If you guys are ever at the Denver airport,
Starting point is 01:42:53 go to Terminal C, get Root Down and have the beat down drink. It's delicious. Is it like root vegetables? Yeah, it's a lot of like really great veggie options, but like great meats too breakfast tacos like all kinds of really good things and their cocktails are insane and i was traveling there so much that i actually knew the bartender there so i'd go there and like with my suitcase and you
Starting point is 01:43:16 just like wave from the end of the bar and be like hey you want the beat down and sweet potato fries i'm like yep i'll be that's amazing wow so i love airport food yeah i love airport food that's that is a crazy statement to you i do even my fit my parents um have a place in montana and there's this like tiny town um you find a calispell and the calispell airport is my favorite all the tiny tiny airports because you go there and like they have like the same little coffee shops right like really weird little tchotchke things with like pottery do you know what's crazy i was in the portland airport and they have a theater they have a movie theater that they show they show they show short films on what and i'm like la is hollywood and we don't have a little theater
Starting point is 01:44:01 where you could watch like a little short movie. Yeah. Why not? Or even like old like, you know, it's just playing like old movies or something like that. And you can go and sit and watch them. I think they're afraid that people would miss their flights. I'll tell you why not. You know, Fred Willard flies out LAX. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:44:16 Jesus Christ. Worried about another incident. He just didn't know how to use the internet. It was fine. It's fine. It's a victimless crime. I'll show you that theater tonight and show you it's not that weird we'll go right after this bring the roomba uh yeah i i i agree that that shake shack is good that's a good shake shack the one
Starting point is 01:44:36 in lax i've had a lot of success even though i'm a burger king skeptic i've had a lot of success with burger kings a term at restaurants i think for some reason they figured out the restaurant version of that at airports at. At airports, right. Yes, yes. I will say the Chick-fil-A is the opposite. I've had some bad experiences at airport Chick-fil-A. Oh, that's good. Really?
Starting point is 01:44:52 I don't know. I don't know if it's just the ones I've been to, but that's a place I tend to stay away from. But let us know. You know what? It's funny that Shake Shack, because Shake Shack is the type of thing that maybe wouldn't be good. You wouldn't expect it, yeah. Like an In-N-Out burger at the airport, it's like, maybe shack because shake shack is the type of thing that maybe wouldn't be good you wouldn't think like an in and out burger like at the airport it's like maybe this is the one they're usually pretty good across the board and then maybe that would be the one that wouldn't
Starting point is 01:45:11 be good like a place like like a specialty place what what's wrong nothing's wrong okay i thought you were gonna get something i thought i'm just saying like at all like in and out or chick filet or something like that you're like all these special that people think are like these higher caliber fast food places maybe they would slide i just feel like i'm always at the airport on a sunday and i'm like yes chick-fil-a and like run to the chick-fil-a and then i'm like no crazy enough i went to this i went to the super bowl this year i know that you've been to the super bowl before i was at the super bowl this year too were you really yes i was at the super bowl this year and at the mercedes-benz uh stadium uh-huh and it's an awesome stadium these are chick-fil-a
Starting point is 01:45:52 and they play football games on sundays and then it's never open on sundays that's insane that's insane what if they don't they only have football games on sundays and they don't actually even have a kitchen and it's just advertising? It's just advertising. I mean, that's maybe genius. Mitch, you're going to freak out, but Irma is trying to get into the kitchen.
Starting point is 01:46:14 Wally just opened the fridge? Wally opened the fridge. What the fuck? Wally just opened the fridge. Really just opened the fridge. That's pretty awesome. How the fuck did he open the fridge? He's never done that before.
Starting point is 01:46:23 It's like a raptor in Jurassic Park. Probably never done that before while you were home. Yeah. I always block off this kitchen because I'm afraid of anything like that. I can't believe he opened the fucking fridge. I don't know if I've ever seen a cat open the fridge before. Honestly. That's insane.
Starting point is 01:46:36 Whoa, now he's- See, I'm telling you, if they were your size, imagine what they would do. I know, you'd be dead. I feel like we just- Too bad we weren't videotaping that. That's a good YouTube clip. That's insane. We just witnessed
Starting point is 01:46:45 like a next step in evolution. Wait, what did you say he was doing after that? It doesn't matter. He was standing on his hind legs? I was going to say he's going to, oh, he's making paella.
Starting point is 01:46:54 It doesn't matter. I was going to say like he was going to do something else in the kitchen. Yeah, that's fun. Wait, what was Irma doing? I thought it was Irma. It was Wally.
Starting point is 01:47:01 I'm sorry I don't know you. I can't recognize your cats. It's fine. You've known them for four years. I don't. I started from the back. I don't know what they. It was Wally. I'm sorry I don't know you. I can't recognize your cats. Fine. You've known them for four years. I don't. I started from the back. I don't know what they look like from the back. Wally has a white tip on his tail.
