No Name Maddox. Born to a 16-year-old mother, this was the legal birth name of a boy who would later become the infamous Charles Manson. In the late 1960s, Manson had accumulated a following of acolytes, mostly troubled young women, who called themselves the family. In 1968, two female members of the family hitchhiking through Malibu flagged down a car that happened to be driven by Beach Boys member Dennis Wilson. The chance meeting led to the Manson family coming to visit and then moving into Wilson's

home, turning the Pacific Palisades mansion into a den of illicit drug use and deviant sex. Wilson thought Manson, an aspiring singer-songwriter, had musical talent, and the Beach Boys would help record Manson's album and themselves cover one of his songs. But Wilson found cohabitation with a cult unsustainable, and after being overrun, threatened, and financially drained to the order of $100,000 by the violent gang of drifters, Wilson resorted to abandoning his own home, leaving it to the family, who would go on to perpetrate the grisly Tate-LaBianca murders just months later.

But years before his association with a maniacal faux guru who aimed to incite an apocalyptic race war, Dennis Wilson and his brothers and fellow Beach Boy members Brian and Carl Wilson had attended Hawthorne High School in the unremarkable suburb of Hawthorne, California, where their local hangout of choice was a fast food restaurant located on Hawthorne Boulevard. Dennis Wilson was in fact inspired to write the Beach Boys hit Fun Fun Fun by a girl and a teabird he saw outside of the eatery. Founded in 1946 by a California businessman who had acquired the West Coast Rites to Dairy Queen, the founder reimagined and renamed the concept after himself, and, after initially

focusing on soft serve ice cream, added burgers and fries to the menu, which would help make the joint of Beach City staple. The California chain expanded throughout the Golden State over the decades, recently partnering with another LA favorite, El Pollo Loco, to create co-branded locations. Dennis Wilson went to his grave, refusing to speak of his brief and disastrous association with the Manson family. Wilson himself, now 83 years old and still sporting a swastika carve between his brows, serves out a life sentence for overseeing the home invasion murders of seven people.

But the SoCal chain the Wilson brothers loved that became a part of Beach Boys lore endures. This week on Doughboys, Fosters Freeze. Welcome to Doughboys, the podcast about chain restaurants for production of Feral Audio.com. I'm Nick Weigar, alongside my co-host, John Squincey Adams, the Spoon Man, Mike Mitchell. I thought you already said John Squincey. We said the mayor of Squincey, but John Squincey Adams, John Squincey Adams is a different name.

Wow, this guy's real creative. This is courtesy of TD Kevin. If you've got an insult you'd like to use on Mitch at the top of the show, roast Spoon Man. TD Kevin, touchdown Kevin. Look, I'm trying to come up with insults that aren't weight based, but it's slim pickings in the inbox. A lot of people want to go after you for your size and I'm trying to go in a direction.

I don't care. I'm a big boy, baby. All right. Fine. I'll bring back the big boy. I'm a big boy, baby. I don't care. I don't give a shit.

Weigar. Yeah. Um, it was interesting to see here you talk about the Manson murders and just how well you would fit in that family. If you were alive during that time, which I think you were, wait a minute, I was born in 1980. It wasn't around in the late sixties. Oh, okay.

No, I don't think I, no, I wouldn't fit into the Manson family. I wouldn't fit into that cult that murderous group of jackals we should want to be involved with them. You maybe would save everyone. We should stay at it. Play switch. Everyone would stay. Hey, you know what?

If they had a Nintendo switch there at Barker Ranch, yeah, maybe all this shit would have exactly. Um, Manson interesting character. Anyway, moving on to Spoon Nation and here's a drop. My guest is looking at me. Wow, that was a little drop. I played that for a reason. We'll find out soon.

That was from Robert Persinger. He's, he, this guy's good. He's, this guy's my drop king per singer. You're drop king. Uh, hey Mitch, I'm sending you a very special drop. I love Alana Johnson on the Doughboys double and I think you guys should ask her back for a full episode. She was so funny.

Of course we should. The podcast needs the knife back on the show. Hope you're well. Uh, thanks Robert. Happy Thanksgiving to you even though now this is officially way after Thanksgiving. I'm just realizing. I know way after. Okay.

A little bit after. Um, maybe way after. Hey, happy. I think it's probably way after. Retake. Hey, happy holidays. Robert Persinger. Um, Nick, they're going to make a Quentin Tarantino is going to make a Manson-ish movie.

I know I've heard about that and he has a cruises on his list and people, oh, our guest is making a face. I, I'm, you and I are Tom Cruise apologizes. I love Cruz. We like Cruz. We liked that he jumped on the couch. I like everything he does. Everything he did.

We, I stand with David Miskovich. Oh my God. Okay. I guess me too. Um, hey, a crazier cult than the Manson family, right? Makes you think. I think. Yeah, probably.

Well, I don't know. I mean, maybe less direct damage, but then again, maybe their casualty rate is pretty high. I mean, they do a lot of, they do a fucked up things in that sea org, but it would be interesting if, if because there isn't Leo de Caprio. There's a bunch of, there's a bunch of big names attached. Margot Robbie, I think is attached. You know, Manson famously a, a, a man of short of stature.

Yeah. And they say Cruz could. I mean, he's to be too old to be Manson, but made, but he also is kind of ageless if you look at him. He's in his fifties, but he still looks like a young man. I mean, it cruises too old to play Manson. I mean, I don't know. What was it?

Manson like 40 or something when it happened, right? I think he was younger than that. Oh, wait, because he's white, but he's 83 and it happened in what, 68? Whoa, wait. Look at your mental math. Look at the big brain on Mitch math. I'm a good with numbers and our guest like a little math magician. She's dancing.

Should we introduce our guests? Of course we should from comedy bang, bang and the UCB show. Our good friend Holly Prass office here. Hi Holly. Hi. How are you? The knife. Oh yeah.

I really liked that drop guys, a fellow Canadian. Yes. And basically my comedy partner wife. That's right. Yeah. And a little, I feel like have like having one of you do a main episode. I feel like when I said I had Atlanta on, you gave me a hard time. I feel like you too, right?

Have a little love rival rivalry. Is that correct? Yes. I mean, we only want to do everything together really ideally, right? So if you've done something with one of us and not the other, we feel hurt inside. You could make that arrangement, you know, you could like if we, we could, if we gone to you, you could say like, Hey, I'd like to do it with Alana. We should have said that.

I'm not saying you should have said that. I'm saying you have that option, but you also, you like Atlanta, you go a million miles per hour. I do not know as the sleepier of the two. Yeah, I guess you're the sleepier one and I'm happy to have that reputation. You're still a handful in a good way. Sure. We're all, yeah.

I mean, I would describe both of you as handfuls. Oh boy. That's, that's, you describe Weigar as a handful and his response was, Oh boy, I think I'm very manageable. Yes. If someone's like, Hey, Weigar, knock it off. I'll be like, Sure. I don't think I'm a handful.

Well, can I call you a reasonable handful? I guess so. Okay. Responsible, reasonable handful. I'll take that. I'll take that. I'll take the handful. Yeah.

I love it. But you're like, you're like 30 hands full. That was a size joke. He's a big boy. Yeah, you are a big boy. I mean, you said it yourself. Yeah. Big boy, baby.

Yeah. Oh, I love it. I mean, I mean, I don't know if we should get to this right away, but I did really try to pursue Mitch quite a lot and he rejected me. Really? Jesus Christ. This is not, this is not true. No, it's not really true.

Okay. He still rejected me. She come up to me like, when are we, when are we gonna like, when are we getting together? Is the type of thing she come up to me? Right. Because I have you, I don't, let's see, when you're a female and you talk to Mitch, it kind of elicits a very, like he gets shy and he feels weird and he's not sure what to do.

And I love seeing that on his face. You like provoking that reaction. Exactly. Exactly. And you would say that and I'd say, not interested lady, I'd say that to you. Yeah. See? And then I reported you, I believe.

Oh, great. I was wondering where that came from. The police, the police, everyone who would listen. Yeah. I told Besser himself at one point, Holly and I have known each other for a long time. Nick, I mean, I don't think that it's, I've known you for a very long time too, but we, you and I know each other God for 10 years before I've even, yeah, before I moved here. Yeah, that's right.

Yeah. So where, where, where did we, where we met at, which sketch fest did we meet at? No, we met. You guys did a show. Basically, I was visiting from Canada at me and Nessa and Rebecca and did a show with the Steve Allen and you guys technically opened for us. Oh, right. Okay.

What the hell? It's so weird. But yeah, then that's how we met. We met at that. That's the show we met at. That's right. Yeah. You guys did some wild and crazy stuff.

We were wild back then. Go on. Are you going to talk about it? Well, I won't say, but there's someone in your group. And you do a video. Yeah, and then you see this thing. You're like, what am I looking at? And then it zooms out.

It's a butthole. Yeah, somebody's butthole. It's a true butthole. I won't say who the person was, but all seven birthday boys went. Oh, I think we ran out. We think we ran backstage and each of us called our moms. What is that? You've seen ours, honey's.

They all said. What? Why have you seen your mom's buttholes? I don't know. It was a joke. It was on the way out. You might as like when you were being born. Yeah.

You might have on the way, if you're getting pushed out of your mom on the way out, you may be we're looking down. Maybe your head was pointing down. Yeah. You saw a little bit of the butthole on the way out. You glance over your shoulder like you're changing lanes and get that butthole away. As a baby, you're waving at it. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, you don't quite understand the world yet. You don't really know how to control your limbs, but it might be a natural reaction. Holly, you, as we mentioned, you're from Canada, Toronto specifically. I'm already with that. Yeah. Toronto proper. Where exactly did you?

Did you grow up? Drake's hometown? Yes. Yes. I was born kind of in the western part of Canada and Edmonton. Okay. But I moved to like downtown Toronto when I was like six. Oh, wow.

Okay. So you grew up in the city. Yeah. From Toronto. Wow. So how was the city? It's great. Yeah.

Have you ever been? You've never been to Toronto? Yeah. Have you ever been? No, I've only been to Vancouver. That was my only Canadian experience. We were going to ask you, are Vancouver people known to be kind of, look, we love the Vancouver people.

Listen, I don't like Vancouver. Wow. I'll say it. They're our rival city. Really? Yeah. They're always like, we're going on a hike, a few Toronto and we're like, what? Okay.

I guess that's a good reaction. Yeah. Because that would confuse me too. Right. Do they have more mountains? They do. Like Toronto is not a beautiful city like Vancouver is beautiful. There's mountains and there's like the ocean there, but I feel like everyone's a bit of

a snooze. We thought that they were aggressive. We thought they were a little elitist. I could see that. Or like kind of, I mean, I'm better than you. I thought that, I mean, let's be honest. You thought they were assholes. Yeah.

I could see that. Yeah. But I also feel like people, the number one question people ask me is like, oh, you're from Canada. You're so nice. And I'm like, no, that's a myth. I agree with you that at least based on this one experience, which I will you will probably be my only experience.

Wow. That's it. You're writing it off. And probably. Yeah. Probably done at this point. But like, you know, like a lot of people, I made my opinion very, I made my opinion immediately and then it's just kind of set in stone.

So I don't know if I'll mentally be able to shift that, but yeah, the myth is that Canadians are nice, but I did not find that to be the case. I found people were kind of bruskin and not rude, but maybe just very like business. Intense. Intense. Yeah. Yeah. Like I actually find Americans much nicer and warmer.

I feel like Canadians are more passive aggressive and it's like, I feel like the correct word is not Canadians are nice. I feel like Canadians are polite. Okay. But polite doesn't necessarily mean you're nice because you can kind of be like, yeah, you're welcome. It's like, see, that's not, that's not nice. I will say this about Canadians.

You're all you're a strange bunch. Oh, that's coming from Mitch. Yikes. Yikes. Yikes. You're a strange bunch up there. Yeah. I mean, you know what you're all very, I will say this, every Canadian that's has come down

here to do comedy is all very, you're all very funny, sending your best and brightest south of the border. I will say this. I wouldn't judge all of Canada on the five or six Canadians you've met that I've met from here. Yeah, I wouldn't like you, Alanna, Anessa, Dave Foley, Dave Foley, Rebecca, Adam and Ben. Yeah.

That's kind of all. Steve Nash. I know. Steve Nash. Yeah. I mean, Drake. Yeah. We're all weird.

We're like the weirdos. Like we're the outliers. Is that the right word? Interesting. Yeah. You know, everyone else is more regular. Yeah. Yeah.

I think you guys maybe are the weirdos. I think they asked us to leave. We're just not telling you guys that. So yeah. But as an expat and then down here living in the States and I think when people think of Canadian food, the thing that comes to mind is always poutine. But is there anything specific to Toronto that you know, I just thought about poutine. Yeah.

It says poo. It's poutine. Right. Okay. I'm just saying kind of gross. I just noticed it right now. Okay. But have you ever had poutine?

I love it. Yeah. It's really good. Hey, let me tell you, it's the furthest thing from the first part of it. Yeah. It's also P O U. It's not P O O. Yeah.

I know how it's fucking spelled. I'm just saying it sounds like poutine. I never noticed that before. Yeah. It's a very brilliant observation. I will take it back to Canada and we'll make the appropriate adjustments. Make sure Holly that you note that teen is also like an age range so they can say like poo is like shit and like teen is like an age range.

Poutine. Yeah. See, I think of it more like poutine. You know what I mean? Oh, interesting. Yeah. Just a side note there. Right.

Are you a big poutine fan? I like poutine, but it's like a French or French thing. Exactly. And we're I'm from the English part of Canada. So I don't know. Our delicacies are more apparently if you like. What is cargo? Yeah, that's our thing.

You can get it on the street. Also French. Oh, you know what? Because Montreal is the French Canadian. Well, yeah. Quebec is the province of. Oh, yes. Yeah.

I'm sorry. Yeah. Quebec. So there's a lot and there's a lot. There's there's poutine and that is kind of is that the poutine province? I guess. Yeah. So it's like you can get it where I'm from.

It's just not as good as if you were to go to Quebec. So I guess like one of the things is a pee meal sandwich. What? And that's like a pee meal. A pee meal. That one's got pee in it. That one's got on up there. Oh my God, I got to go back.

Is this why we're not successful as a nation? You guys are pretty successful. For what? I don't know. Poutine. Best health care system in the world. Yeah. Is it though?

One of the best. I mean, it's better than ours. Susser broke his arm up in Canada. They took care of him. He was bicycling during the Montreal just for last festival. Okay. Fell off, broke his arm. And yeah, went to the Canadian hospital.

Got it taken care of. And when we're up in Vancouver, you had an arm injury of your own. We took you to the ER. You'd been cranking off in the Airbnb. What? Very vigorously. No. Throughout your shoulder.

Don't try to put me in the category of all these other comedians where I'm cranking off all the time. Yeah. Was there anybody there? No. Wait a minute. Oh boy, this is a dangerous time. If I'm cranking off, I'm alone.

Yeah. I think that's appropriate. Can we agree on that? Yeah, it's fine. If you're cranking off alone. Yeah, I think that's preferred. No shit. Yeah.

That's what you say comes where that's inappropriate. We're all screwed. Yes. Canada has a pretty good healthcare system. I just feel like Americans are always like, it's not that good. And it's like, okay. Whoa, these aggressive Americans. I feel like, you know, the Republicans are always like,

you got to wait for things. And it's like, okay, but don't you have to wait for everything in life? Yeah. I had to wait here. I had good health insurance and I had to wait about eight weeks to see a back specialist when I was in crippling pain. And it's just like, it's like the private insurance industry isn't necessarily any better in that regard.

Plus then it, plus you don't have universal coverage. I mean, we're, look, we're not, this isn't health boys. We're not here to make the healthcare system. I wish. Where are you going to that specialist so they could remove some ribs? What? So you can suck yourself off. Is that true?

Yeah. Forget Charles, man. So now with that Marilyn Manson surgery. Now was anybody else some dome in the room when you're doing this? No, this is just me. Okay. Good. Okay.

That's appropriate. Right. I can't wait for Natalie to walk in on that one day. They're armor here. Oh my God. What? He's seen so far. He's so gross.

Yuck. You probably be able to speak pretty fine. Get out of here. Natalie. Uh, anyways. Oh, I see. I see. Small penis.

Yeah. Okay. Okay. So who will say in front of your now husband? Uh-huh. All the time. It should have been you to me. Sure.

In front of Joe. A bit of a laugh. Yeah. They're having fun. A great, a great funny man all the time. Oh, he's the best. That's the thing he knows. I couldn't do any better than him.

Yeah. I really couldn't if I tried. You just winked at me. He can't see that. He's a great, he is a great guy. Oh, yeah. Look, you hit the jackpot, baby. I mean, it's just, I came here with an intention to marry one of my instructors

and Nick Weiger was one of my instructors. That's true. But he was already taken. So I had to, you know, so if it wasn't you, it could have been Nick. It's just, it could have been anybody guys. I mean, I know Mitch and I know each other pretty well. You did a lot better going with Joe. That was the right choice.

Yeah. I would say as opposed to you or I. Yes. Yeah. 100%. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

It's good to know. But sort of like vindicating or whatever. Right. Yeah. Great. So when now, now that you're, now that you're coupled up. Uh-huh. Now you're cohabitating.

Yeah. Cohabitating. Do any of your... No, first of all, two questions here. Okay. Do whatever your American and Canadian backgrounds clash for one. Two, what's the food situation like in the, in the, in the nest? Okay.

Do you guys call it the nest? Yes, we do. Okay. 100%. I'm glad to get that email. Um, nothing, we don't really clash too much. I think, uh, Joe might eventually get annoyed that anytime there's a holiday, like Thanksgiving is just 15 Canadian people coming over to our house.

Right. We don't even celebrate American Thanksgiving. Yeah. What is Canadian Thanksgiving all about real quick? Yeah. What the fuck goes on? It's in October, very early October, and it's to celebrate the harvest. Okay.

So we don't have like Christopher Columbus or any of that racist shit that you guys rely on. Back off. Columbus rules. Right. Wiger. Wait a minute. You guys like Tom Cruise and Columbus.

No, we don't like, I like, I like Chris Columbus. The homo loan director. The homo loan director. Okay. I don't like Christopher Columbus. I didn't know him, but he seemed not great. I mean, no, he seemed like he was kind of out for number one. Right.

First of all, you brought up Christopher Columbus. So Columbus day, which is a very minor. We also don't have that in Canada. Yeah. You can fly to Columbus day with a pilgrims of 1620. Yes. But like isn't your, your celebrates the heart or your Thanksgiving celebrates the harvest.

Yeah. So it's like still a meal. Okay. But this is the thing. Canada, that's overall our theme is boring. Right. But it's, it's just different. Like for example, you get a Monday off instead of a Thursday and you can have a meal.

Any of those days over the weekend. So you'll sometimes be invited to like five or four Thanksgiving dinners. Hey, we could adopt that practice down here. So we, we also get, I mean, a lot of people get Friday off, right? Don't they get Thursday? Yeah. Usually Thursday, Friday combo, but you have to have your dinner on the Thursday because Rebecca and I,

when we first moved to your head, we were like, let's do it on Friday. Oh yeah. Give us a prep day. That's sacrilege. Every single person was like, what are you doing Friday? You're hanging a scene, a movie or getting some drinks. What are you thinking? We just thought wouldn't a prep day be great.

Yeah, it would be. It would be convenient. Yeah. Wednesday. People have to work on Wednesday. Where you were? Well, you're a comedian. Where were you working?

I work. I was nannying at the time. Okay. Okay. And it's like, you know, I'd love a prep day for anything. Right. Did you take a prep day before you came to Doughboys? I did.

I did. Boy, am I glad. I really needed it guys. What do you got? What do they eat? Turkey. Turkey on Thanksgiving. Turkey on Thanksgiving.

Are the sides all the same? Yeah. Same, same, same. The same thing. It's just in October. Stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy. Some people might do a ham. Like I find.

Do they do any, would you have any weird Canadian sides or no? No. No, like people might do like a sugar pie instead, which is like a maple-y pie. Okay. Like pecan pie, but no nuts. And it's more like maple. That sounds good. It's really yummy.

But. Do you put maple syrup on your turkey? No, I don't. But I would put it on my ham. Oh, that sounds good. Yeah, that would work. You can actually like cook it in maple syrup. Oh boy.

I'm not a big ham fan. I've said this on the show. Get out of here. Really? Ham's the best. Yeah, ham's good. Ham's the best. I love ham.

What? Really? I love pork, first of all. I love pork. I'm like in heaven. Right. A pork chop is my life. All right.

So just know that. I'm a big ham. I feel like, I feel worse about eating pigs because I think pigs are so smart and they're cute and even though they're dirty, but I feel, I feel most guilty about eating pigs of all the animals. How smart are they? Yeah. I think they're like dog smart.

Are you getting out tricked? Are you getting out, out smarted, out tricked, out smarted by pigs a lot? You think I'm getting out foxed because there's some sort of contest between me and a pig like we're playing tic-tac-toe? That's what I'm asking. You would win. You would win. No, I don't have a lot of encounters where I'm challenging the brain power of a pig,

but I just know they're going to be intelligent. It is hard because they, but they also do, I mean like, come on, just bacon and sausage. Oh, they're so yummy. Yeah, they taste good as hell. That's on them. You know what I mean? Like be less yummy. Right.

I'm not yummy. I'm not yummy. So I've, I've fought ahead. I wonder, by the way, you say no one wants to eat you and I can tell that Mitch is glaring at you and you've turned into a giant turkey. Mitch, no. I will not eat you. I've known you for a decade.

Oh, but if you didn't know me, would you eat me? See, this is the problem. This is what we're talking about in Hollywood. You know what I mean? I'm going to get ousted from Hollywood for wanting to eat people. Yeah. I think you should. Yeah.

I've never wanted to eat anyone. In fact, I think we've talked about on here before, Ryger, and I think that you've said yes, that if human flesh, if there was a slab of human flesh, yeah, that was cooked and prepared correctly in the, was it the person live? What was your thing? Did the person have to live or did you want the person to die? No, I think it was, if the situation was that the deed was already done, I was not culpable for a person's killing, but someone had been slaughtered, their meat was available for consumption.

I feel like for curiosity's sake, yeah, I'd eat a person. I mean, I don't think I would. What if I have the taste for it? Yeah. I mean, that is always the danger. Yeah. Of anything you try for the first time. Right.

And that's the most illicit substance of all because then you have, then all you can do to get more flesh is to either rob graves or feed burgers. I feel like it's fucked up that you so quickly are like, yeah, I'd do it. I feel like I'm kind of like, it's, for me, it's kind of a value neutral thing for any meat, even if it's like, like if a lion had been killed and like there was just lion meat. Like I feel like, like, well, that's fucked up. They shouldn't be, someone shouldn't have killed a lion for this purpose. But if this is an available thing for me to taste to see what it's like, like, I mean,

for me, that's kind of a neutral, moral call. Wouldn't you gag on human meat? I don't know. What if it was me? I think I would probably be more interested in eating you. What the fuck? You seem yum. I seem delicious.

You have a good marble to you. Oh, God damn it. Well, I guess like I go into more of a moral idea, like if the person was bad or something. Oh, sure. You know what I mean? I don't want to be eating a good person for some reason, even if they've already been killed. If it was your fallen foe, someone who'd been, who'd tried to enact your ruination, it'd

probably be all the, all the sweeter to eat their flesh. Correct. You sung, would you eat a person? Thumbs up or thumbs down? No. You sung, you sung. You sung is on record. No.

I think I'm on record as no. I think I'm on record as no. I think I'm a soft yes. I think it could be. What the fuck? I think I'm like kind of, I think I'd probably do it, but it would depend on the circumstances. I'm not going to kill someone to eat some. I'm not going to kill someone in any circumstances.

Good to know. Yeah. Thanks. I guess we can rest easy the rest of the podcast. You know, I don't want to be too emphatic there because I like there are, you could definitely come up with a scenario where it'd be my best interest to kill a person, but Jesus. In general.

In self-defense. In self-defense. Yeah. In self-defense, I could see that, but digitally out. I can't wait for the day that you invite me over to your house on though is the day that I'm going to. It won't go. You won't come over any time.

Now I feel like it's going to happen. No, I'm not going to murder you. I'm going to open the door and you're going to be sitting there in a chair with a shotgun. You can sit on our big couch. You can put your feet up on the ottoman. We could watch. Is this an ongoing thing that Mitch claims you don't have people over to your house? I mean, it's true.

I don't have. I mean, I've never been invited. He's never had a friend over to his house. Right. Well, we haven't lived in this place for too long. Okay. A year and maybe he's not that close. All right.

Is it more than a year? Almost two years. Almost two years. We don't have guests over often. We have family over, but like, you know, almost two years he hasn't had a friend over to the house. Listen, everyone has their own way. You are.

What do you mean? Why are you defending him? You've never been in my house before. That's true. You haven't invited me over. It's true. You know what happened? You tossed poor Mitch to the curb.

But maybe it's a you thing because you haven't been at his house and you haven't been at my house. I come to your house and guess what? You've been to my house. You're sitting here right now. It's great. And I showed you Irma. Turns out you're allergic.

Right. I had to get rid of her. Though we are at your place because this is where we record now because you reached a point where you didn't want to leave your house anymore. So maybe the problem is you. Yeah. Because I saw initially photos looked like they were in a professional studio. We used to be up at Starburns.

This isn't professional to you. This is very professional. Sure. Yeah. Okay. You did comedy your whole life. You never been in a fucking apartment. You never been in an apartment that still has a Halloween doorbell on the table.

It says welcome and the eye looks around. My mom sent that to me. It's great. It's a lot of fun. No, it's great. It's great. You know what? It's a Brooklyn desk calendar.

I was gonna put it out for Halloween, but I can say this now. I was shooting. I shot Brooklyn Nine-Nine Wiger. Congratulations. I know. Now I'm trying to say this because I never promoted. I think it's on like this week or something. I don't know.

It might be on the week of this episode. And so I couldn't give out candy. Right. And I had my mom gave me a doorbell. She gave me Eminem's candy. And then the day of Halloween I was shooting. So I couldn't do it. We had two children come to our house.

Just for Halloween? Yeah. Like two children. Were they together or? Separate. Two separate. I think it was two children and then one child. Wow.

With parents. Yes. I think the first round or older second round had a parent and Joe immediately was like, what are you for Halloween? And then I guess she was like suicide squad, which to me seems weird for a little girl to be dressed up. That is weird. Was she dressed up as Harley Quinn?

Yeah. But her answer was suicide squad. And I'm like, what are we doing here? Yeah. Like you'd taken every member of the suicide squad and combined them into one person. No, you already didn't get it. She dressed up as Harley Quinn. You got like half L Diablo on your face.

I just don't know. I feel like the only people I hear talking about the movie suicide squad were young girls. Yeah. Like I was at Jessica's wedding and I sat down and Yamara's daughter was there and she leaned over to me and said, I'm going to watch suicide squad. Why is everyone, why are all these children telling you about suicide? I only heard suicide and was like, yikes, I'm here to enjoy a wedding. I don't want to get into this with you.

Okay. I don't. Not today. You and your dealings with children. I can't get into this right now. Aunt Holly does not want to talk about suicide. Aunt Holly. Yes.

Hey, I'm Uncle Mitch. I love it. You did. You asked me what the food was like at my home with Joe. That's true. What's it like? Extremely regimented. Is that Joe or you?

That's Joe. Yeah. You gave me a little, I get it. I get it. He's a blue apron head. Oh, really? Yeah. So we have like, we get it every week, but then we also have a binder of favorites that

he will remake. That's fun. So is he doing healthy dishes with this thing or what? Yeah. Well, you know Joe's like into calorie counting and like weighing and measuring every bite of food. Or does he go off and do that for just other food? He just likes to count calories in general.

Well, I think it's just for his own food, but really the only fight we've truly had is that sometimes like when he's watching TV, he'll have like a little bowl of snacks that he is like pre-measured and I would come and take one out of the bowl and that is a no-no. Holly, can I also say, that sounds a lot like you to come and take a snack out of- I know that's how I'm like, why are you surprised by this? Because he measured out his snacks. You're off by like what?

What is the weight value of one chippy? Tell me. I think it's reasonable to expect a little bit of snacking from your significant other. See now, that's a real man. He's a measuring man. Oh my God. But is measurement- You know what?

You should move out. Joe and I should move in together. We have a blast. I just, like measuring is fun to a certain extent and it's only accurate to- No, it's not. No, it's pretty fun. No, it's not. Measuring has never been fun ever once.

Don't say that to Joe. Don't you dare. I kind of enjoy measuring. Yeah. No shit. Like getting a quarter cup. I could enjoy measuring. Exactly, right?

Yeah. We know you like to fucking measuring. I should think Weigar and Joe should move in together. That would work out. No, it would. The silence in that house is they don't talk to each other. But I think you guys would be happier for it. Yeah.

I mean, my wife's likely to improve. Yeah. Natalie's likely to be great. Sitting pretty. Weigar, I think, makes Joe look like a motor mouth. Oh. You think so? I think you talk less than Joe.

It's possible. Two guys who are quiet though. Right. And Holly, you're not typically quiet. See, but that's good to opposites attract. Yeah, I guess so. I don't know. I mean, I don't know if I'm particularly, you know what, there are times when I will

just be like, oh, I don't need to say anything right now. Yeah. You'll go quiet for like two hours. Yeah. It's strange. I don't think so. I don't think that's strange. Okay.

Joe is a very funny, great guy. Yeah. He's the fucking best. Yeah. He did say, why are you on it? I want to be on it. Wow. Can we get Weigar in?

Can we cancel right now? Well, we'll hold on this episode until we get Weigar on. Here's the thing about good old Weigar. Too busy working jobs. Right. You know what I mean? Oh, stop showing off. Lucky for you guys.

Me, no jobs. Do we add? I guess what? Yeah. And why do you think we're here? I heard that this podcast is doing extremely well. Oh, God. And I also heard that Mitch is getting a lot of ladies.

What the fuck? Don't stop. Don't spread something like this. I heard he's getting like a lot of podcast ladies. I will say as someone who co-cooperates the Doughboy's Twitter account, surprising number of of interested women replying to the podcast trying to get in touch with Mitch. Hold on here. Why have you never told me about this?

Because I don't look at the fucking Doughboy's thing. Maybe you should. Yeah, no shit. Maybe I should look the Hollywood that I live in now. I'm not interested. I don't want anybody get send them away. Interesting. I'm celibate.

Okay. That's right. I don't. You're Volcel. Yes. You're never going to fuck again. That's right. Wow.

I didn't even do that much to begin with. Who cares? It's over. It never began. I never had my fest. Yeah. Yeah. What a clit fest.

Jesus Christ. Can I say that on this podcast? Yeah. You can say anything you want. Okay. Clit fest. Yeah. That was all, obviously when I went through a divorce, I threw myself a dong festival

and it was pretty poorly attended and was basically a huge bust of an event. Right. But you hyped it up big time. I did. I was good at hyping it, but it turns out men don't want to be like objectified. Right. Boohoo. Don't make me seem like one of many and it's like, okay, dude.

Yeah. Because you're doing that to us. Do you see what I'm saying? See what it's like to get a taste of your own medicine, pal. Exactly. They do not like it. They're like, I'm special and I want to be treated that way. Right.

That's how I feel. Well, that's why you're celibate. That's true. You know, it's good. Nick, you and I, I mean, for the sake of humankind, we should never, you know, no sperm should come out of us ever again. Right. I mean, I don't know.

I don't know if I'm even capable. Oh my God. What am I doing here? I think what's the opposite of viril? I disagree. I would like to see, I would like to see things come. You see children. Our children.

I would like to see that the hell you like to see things spring, spring from our. Yeah. From your loins. And like the, the culmination of this podcast bitch would be us having kids and then the two of them meeting later in life and then getting married and having a kid of their own. So that our, our warring families could finally be. Yes.

That's, that's beautiful. Get Alana to officiate. Oh, that'd be great. Is she a, is she a. She officiated your wedding. Yeah. That's right. Heck wasn't invited.

Yeah. Don't invite me to yours. I won't. Great. It's over now. We all win. Let's, let's go back to food. For what was it?

I can't. Was it here? Yeah. I was in. Yeah. It was here. Oh, well, it would have been easy for me to go. Get over it, Mitch.

It's cool. But can I just see the list of who was invited later? Sure. I would love to email it to you. I can. She's all he has it up on our phone. Now it says Koalak was invited twice. Yeah.

What the fuck? He usually likes a chair for his bag. I know. I know. Was Wiger invited? No, I didn't. No. He wouldn't have gone anyway.

Joe has a huge Italian family. That's right. So we had like, it was a lot of people. They did. There was like a lot of stuff like that. Yeah. So much was Wario there. Wario.

Yeah. 100%. Very cool. I'd be starstruck. All right. Let's, let's return to food for one second. One thing I, the one chain that, that comes to mind and this is, I, let me know if there's any Canadian stuff that you're sick of talking about because I'm sure in the U.S.

this stuff just gets brought up to you constantly, but the Canadian chains that I always hear about, um, Tim Hortons is the big one. But the other one I've heard a lot of is A&W that the A&W Canada has like a little bit of a different bent to it. Do you have any experience with either of those chains? I mean, Tim Hortons to me, like I'm sick of it when you're in Canada. Right. It's like basically Dunkin' Donuts.

Hey, you can get sick of that. Well, like when you're driving across Canada, that's the only restaurant along the way. Oh, interesting. So I remember once we did a tour out East, I was with Anessa and Rebecca and I threw a fit because I was like, I don't want to eat any more Tim Hortons. Yeah. But did you say that strangely? But I will say we were in Quebec at a Tim Hortons and Tim Hortons serves hot beans.

Whoa. Like a hot baked beans, which count me in. Yeah. That sounds great. I mean, I like hot baked beans, but that's strange. They're not specifically just breakfast, right? They have like other stuff. Yeah.

They do like soups and sandwiches and then donuts. Like I really like the chili and I don't know what meets up in there, but it's yum. Yeah. But the baked beans are separate from the chili. Yeah. They're just in Quebec. Oh, they're just in Quebec. And I really, yeah, it was great.

Tim Hortons is fine. I feel like now that I'm not in Canada, I miss it. Can I just say that his name is Tim Horton is just sounds like a boring guy. He was a hockey player. No, I know. I'm just saying. So how dare you? Why would you do this to me?

I'm a Atlanta's boyfriend and he works for sports center, like the sports center equivalent in Canada. And I thought it was funny that they like lead the show off with hockey like here when it's like a crazy basketball game just ended. But like in Canada, it's like always like tonight's hockey action. And it's like all the hockey highlights. It's the national past. It's very, it's very interesting though to me that that that leads.

That's like the main focus of the show. I thought that was that's interesting to me. I know you love it. I know Tim Horton was a hockey player. Right. Right. I'm just saying it just sounds like a kind of a boring. Oh my God.

It's a different world. It's a different nation. Tim Horton sounds different. What's your name again? Mike Mitchell. Okay. Wow. Pizzazz.

What Mitch? The Mitch dude. Um, and W I've been to. Yeah. I don't know if I've ever been in the States. You guys have like a mama burger, papa burger. I don't remember the exact. Honestly, it's been so long since I've been there.

And for me, it was always like just like a camp treat that I don't remember the menu specifically. Yeah. I don't, I would say here's two other chains that I'm way more jazzed about in Canada. Swiss chalet. Swiss chalet is a chain all the way through Canada and it's rotisserie chicken.

Oh wow. It's my favorite. It's so good. I've never even heard of it. It's like it comes with rotisserie chicken. Um, a little dipping gravy. It has really good fries. And it's delicious.

Wow. The other thing is. Wait, what's the dipping gravy is just like an au jus basically. Exactly. It's a little thicker. Okay. And then the other is the French equivalent is the Saint-Hubert. Saint-Hubert.

Yeah. And that's similar. Just like the sauce is slightly different. Wait, is this a different chain? Yes. And that's just mainly in French Canada. But then there's like some crossover. But Saint-Hubert also just had like a rotisserie chicken as the

concept. Exactly. And Swiss chalet, their big thing is like around the holidays, they do a festive special where you used to get like a whole mini Toblerone bar. Whoa. But now you get the Lindor balls. It's a little less exciting.

It's true. Is Toblerone from Canada? No. It's Swiss. Yeah. I was going to say European, but Swiss is correct. Yeah. But yeah, Swiss chalet, if you're ever in Canada,

it's my main jam. Swiss chalet. Swiss chalet. I feel like I've seen it. I don't know if I've had it. It's really good. How does Swiss chalet factor into the branding? Is the structure any sort of have any sort of chalet resemblance?

I think they did in the 80s. Okay. And then I think they abandoned it pretty quick. Right. So it's kind of like how Taco Bell used to look like a mission with a big bell and now it's just sort of like whatever. Purple. Yeah, exactly.

They went with the purple brand. Right. At my apartment here, we got a gift basket. And there was a Toblerone in it and Jack Allison ate it and I got mad. And I said, you should have split the Toblerone. They're good. And then Jack bought about 80 Toblerones and was hiding them within like, I would go in to like get underwear and there'd be like a Toblerone in my

underwear. And then like I was home for the holidays and I got like a package with like 20 Toblerones. I love that. What a rascal. He was sending Toblerone. He was hiding Toblerones and stuff like I like what I was like walking to my car one day and like went to get my keys and there was like a Toblerone in my pocket.

Yeah. He was putting Toblerones everywhere. No one commits to a bit like Jack Allison. I mean, Jack Allison literally got a tattoo of me on his arm. Right. To own you in some way. To own me in some way. Yeah.

It's a yeah. Just a I mean a lunatic, a strange man. But Toblerone's they're great. They're a great bar. Super yum. I love that nougat. Super yum is kind of is your thing. I feel like sure.

Make it your thing. I think it's good. Super yum. Yeah. Great. Yeah. Super yum. Let's what will someone make a drop?

Yeah. Someone can make a super yum. I mean, you might have to give a few different reads. Oh yeah. Super yum. Super yum. Super yum. Well, someone make a drop.

It sounded like you didn't even know if they existed or I mean, I think that's what you guys called them. Yeah. No, they're drops. Yeah. Okay. Now I got a question for you. Nick, is it am I jumping the gun here?

I don't think I am. No. Why the hell did we go to Foster's freeze? Great question. I was wondering this myself. You like Swiss chalet. You like fucking A&W. We couldn't do Swiss chalet.

We couldn't do that. We could have done that. I don't know. You guys won't fly us out Swiss chalet. So yeah, you were mad at us that we wouldn't fly you out for Swiss chalet. And A&W, the closest one is like what, like a hundred miles or something? Yeah. I don't remember.

There used to be one just a little south of here in Orange County, but I don't know where the closest one is anymore. The one I remember, we used to go up to the Boy Scout camp and there was an A&W there on the way to Boy Scout camp. And we'd stop and that was always the highlight of my trip was getting a bacon cheeseburger on the way to Boy Scout camp and then having to spend a miserable week in the woods. Wow, the highlight of your trip. I get that.

Yeah. I did dance classes around McDonald's for like years. I would just like power through those ballet classes being like, I'm going to get me McDonald's, baby. Yeah. That was me in orchestra in high school because I would go to orchestra. We had an extra orchestra rehearsal after school on Wednesdays. I'd go to that orchestra rehearsal and then afterwards my dad would take me to Jack in

the Box and I'd get like eight tacos. Isn't it true you put down fries and you'd suck them up through your clarinet? Is that what you played? I was switched over to bassoon at that point. Oh, so you suck them up through? Oh, okay. Hey, you know what, McDonald's is great for that reason. Yeah, but that's what's messed up about it, is that to us as children it was billed as

a reward and it's essentially garbage. Right. Yeah, it's terrible for you. So instead of like you did, it should have been a punishment. If you did bad, you should have forgotten McDonald's. I think so, I think so. I think they would have the opposite effect though because then I think they would just incentivize negative behavior because people would still like the food.

Yeah, people would be acting naughty. Yeah. You Canadians wouldn't be so nice. I got to ask you, as far as Canadians go, are you loving it up north or what? What? He wants to know if Canadians love McDonald's. Sure. Why did you act so confused?

You know that I'm weird? Yeah, I do. I do. I actually will say this in like where I grew up in downtown Toronto at Bathurst and Bloor. You're giving away where your parents live? They don't live there anymore, but Bathurst and Bloor. Someone lives there. There was a McDonald's.

So this is the equivalent of like how Mitch lives at... What the fuck? He does. He does. Actually, I grew up on Palmerston Avenue in Toronto at Bathurst and Bloor. Wow. I know, we should be married. What happened?

The McDonald's there, let's look a very busy area in Toronto, closed down and it's now a Korean restaurant and that's like very interesting to me about like Canada is that like, we'll let a McDonald's close down. Right. Oh, get off your high horse. We're better. I went to McDonald's in Canada and they had poutine up there. You know who makes the most delicious poutine?

Who? KFC. Really? The most delicious. Is it potato wedges? No, it's their fries. Okay. And then their gravy and then the cheese.

Oh, interesting. Because fries and gravy are much more of a thing in Canada, even without the cheese. Yeah. It's cold up there for crying out loud. Almost every restaurant offers gravy for your fries. So the best fast food go-to is the one they have at KFC. It's so good there. Wow, that's really interesting.

And do they, like KFC, they're aware that poutine has poo in it? I mean, sure. Sure. I mean, we didn't even get to what a PMIL sandwich is. What the hell is a PMIL sandwich? Yeah, what is a PMIL sandwich? You know, back bacon or Canadian bacon, as you call it, rolled in corn or PMIL. And then it's thinly cooked and thinly sliced on a bun.

Okay. Yeah. And then someone pisses on it? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, to finish it off a little piss. I was going to say it's almost like, hmm, I may be like a fried ham sandwich. But I wanted to even say a fried bologna sandwich, but it's not like that at all. It is a bit like that.

It reminded me like a bit in a weird way of like, you know, and Philly, the broccoli, Rob, and whatever sandwiches. Oh, right. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So. It sounds strange.

Sure. It's a, it's apparently our nation's food. We went to Jaffa Dog up in Vancouver. In Vancouver. That's not a thing I know. I think it's very Vancouver localized. But also it's just like sums up, you guys, you're strange. What can I say?

Oh my God. It's fucking weird. It's a Jaffa Dog. It's like, it's like a Jaffa Dog. Exactly. It sounds like a Japanese hot dog. Yeah. But is there anything special?

Like they squirt something in the middle or? I mean, there's like, like mayo and sometimes like, you know, like seaweed and, you know, eel sauce. Yeah. It's very much like, I mean, like there, I liked it. It's interesting and unique, but it's very much exactly a, it's a direct mashup of what you'd think of Japanese food and hot dogs. I encourage you guys to go see more of Canada.

Just Vancouver is not worth it. Okay. Nick, literally I drove up to Canada. Nick didn't look up, up from his phone as I was playing Gordon Lightfoot. Right. Beautiful. I was playing beautiful Gordon Lightfoot music. It does have a wonderful voice.

Canadian Railroad Trilogy is what I played as a theme and we were driving up through beautiful landscapes and Nick was like, hey, check this out. I was looking at his phone. Yeah. He's checking all the Twitter DMs for you from ladies. We'll take a break. We'll be back with more Doe Boys. Oh, hi, Mark.

Do you listen to How Did This Get Made? It's a podcast with June Diane Rayfield, Jason Mansoukas and Paul Scheer. They make a weird, insane movie like the Nicholas Cage film, The Wicker Man, and pretty much make fun of it and celebrate how bizarre it is. I love the show. It's one of my favorites. It's so much better than Doe Boys, consistently hilarious. I went on a few years back and reviewed the film Kongo, which is terrible.

It was a real disappointment when I was a youth and they kill apes with lasers at some point, spoiler alert. It's not as cool as it sounds. Mitch and I went on recently together and we put a decided our differences to agree that the film Ultra Violet is unwatchably bad. Anyway, it's always good and this week they're re-releasing an amazing episode about the room, probably the best bad movie of all time that has a ton of new interviews. Scheer talked to the cast of The Disaster Artist, a new movie about the making of the

room that he is also in. He got James Franco, Seth Rogen, and even Tommy Wiseau who directed the room to wane on the original and what it was like to recreate its production. This one sounds insane. The room is insane. The Disaster Artist looks awesome. I'm really looking forward to this episode. It just sounds bananas.

The special comes out Friday, December 8th, so if you're not already a subscriber, you probably are. Go ahead and subscribe to How Did This Get Made in Apple Podcast Stitcher or your favorite podcasting app. Bye. Welcome back to Doe Boys. We're here with Holly Prazoff. Foster's Freeze.

Mitch teed it up before the break, but what was your interest in Foster's Freeze? I learned just before we started recording you've never had it before, right? We thought that you had some connection with it. No suspicion because you jumped to it immediately when we asked you to come on the show. Here's the connection. I looked through the titles of all your episodes and noticed there was no Foster's Freeze. Wow. And I love America and to me it kind of or California, it kind of is that California thing.

I had no idea that stuff you're reading at the beginning about the Beach Boys. That's insane. I love the Beach Boys. I love Charles Manson, so maybe I was just like drawn to it. You know what I mean? Right? Can I just say, do you have like a citizenship coming up? Why are you talking about loving America and California so much?

I do love California. California is great. It's like you can drive an hour and be like in the desert. You can drive an hour and be like in a whole different zone. You can stay right here in LA, the shithole. Yeah, in your apartment. Hey! No, apparently you don't want to leave.

That's what I was saying. Oh yeah, that's okay. That's fine. Yeah, no, there's lots of love about it. And hey, even if you're in LA, go out towards the beach. Catch some rays. Get that ocean breeze. Oh, hey, that's so much fun.

Well, like Foster's Freeze, for example, there's no indoor seating at any of the ones I've seen. Yeah, I was going through mentally. I think the one in Santa Monica by Santa Monica College, which recently closed and reopened as a different concept, has a little indoor seating area. And I think some of the ones I went to in Lakewood Long Beach area had some indoor seating, but they're mostly like a... Hey, you know what?

Sometimes a stand is fun. Yeah, they're mostly a stand with an outdoor area. I enjoy that. Americana, baby. You couldn't have that in Canada, because for eight months, no one would be able to eat there. Yeah, absolutely. It's definitely a thing that you can kind of, you know, not unique to California, but

that you can have by virtue of being in California. It's a big bees nest and we're the bears, we're pawing in there, we're pulling the food out. A big bees nest? A bees nest. I love this. I love it. A beehive.

It's a big beehive and we're the bears? Yeah. What are you saying? A stand that serves food is a big bees nest. We're the bears, we're pawing the food, we get the food out, we eat it. You don't go into the bees nest. What don't you understand, you fucking asshole? I think it's beautiful.

I guess it's just like... He's a poet. I just didn't, in the metaphor, I didn't quite understand that the beehive was the equivalent of the restaurant itself. It fosters itself. Right. We get the honey from fosters. Because scale-wise, bears are so much bigger than beehives that I was confused by the

imagery. He does have a good point. I don't mean to flip-flop here, but that's a very good point. I was just confused. But it's a strange thing to get stuck up on. I think maybe it's like, it's kind of like how a chimp will use basic tools and they will take a stick and they'll shove it in your... Fine.

It's like a chimp in a fucking ant hill, okay? Yeah. Okay, a chimp in an ant hill. Wait, that's still bad size. Yeah, that's still size-wise. Why is that? Oh, because the chimp's too much... It's much bigger than the fucking...

All right. So let's say it's like a tree. It's like a tree with a little hole in it and there ants in the hole and the chimp's got a stick and he's sticking his... No, it would be like ants. I'm so confused. It would be a small tree and ants going into the small tree. You didn't warn me about this type of stuff.

I thought this would just be a conversation. You got to fucking roll with it, all right? I'm so okay. This is turning into your VoigtConf test. To me, it's like, I guess, a television. Yeah, sure. And you're reaching in the television. Reaching in the television.

This isn't Videodrome. It isn't. Do you ever see Videodrome, Weiger? No, but doesn't James Woods... He's in that movie, right? Wait, James... Does he get his dick sucked in that movie or does he kill himself? I mean, he kind of does kill himself.

I don't know. The new TV. The new flash. I don't know. He fucks the TV. I think you can reach into a TV. I don't know. Look, let's just move on.

Wait, hold on. I want to see what James Woods does in Videodrome. You ever think about that with the big boy, Weiger? Then I'm gonna fuck my 70-inch TV called the big boy. What? He calls his TV the big boy. I got a big TV. I got confused because Mitch is the big boy.

Yeah, Mitch is the big... Yeah, that's right. You're the big boy, baby. So you named your TV after Mitch. Well, I did not intentionally, but I guess so now. Turns out it was. Whoa, that's beautiful. Hey, you know what?

That's one big boy I don't mind staring at for hours on it. What does he do in Videodrome? I feel like he... He does a bunch of... Does he get his dick sucked by a TV on something weird? Isn't Kronenberg Canadian? Is he? Is he Canadian?

I don't think so. He's too talented. I think so. Hold on. Sorry. I'm sorry for Google. You didn't respond to that. What?

I said, I don't think so. He's too talented. I was hating on Canada. Oh, no. We have Mike Myers. Yeah. Who else? You have a bunch of funny people.

There's a lot of funny people. Myers. We have both the Ryans. They're not funny, but they're handsome. Ryans? Gosling and Reynolds. Oh. We got a Lannis.

You have Deadpool himself? Uh-huh. Canadian. One of the funniest. Deadpool. Yeah. He's number one in my comics to watch list. Deadpool is number one in your comics to watch.

Every year and he's number one. Can you tell me if Cronenberg's Canadian? Okay. Let me look that up. Here's what I can find about James Woods. And I'm sorry for tuning out your conversation for a second. Here's what I found about James Woods. His stomach splits open, revealing like a vagina.

And then the TV fucks him. Is that what happens? I think so. Boy, that's really gross. All right. Let me find it. I think it sounds yum. I thought it was super yum.

It's super yum or yum, whatever you guys want to make it. Yum is already... Isn't that Rachel Ray? Doesn't she say yum? She says yummo. Yummo. Oh, thank you. Hold on.

At least she changed the word yum to yummo. And I'm saying super yum. Yeah, super yum is good. That's your own little spin on it. But you didn't. You said yum. Okay. I am so sick of being criticized.

Cronenberg, in fact, Canadian. Thank you. I think a friend of mine dated his son. Whoa. I think I went to his house once. Was he into fucked up shit, the son? Yeah. Like TV stomach fucking.

Wow. That was a lot of what their dates was. You know what I mean? I had a friend who dated Stephen's alien son, the writer of Schindler's List. Oh. Now that must have been fun. Yeah, probably. I got Schindler's List out on Netflix, DVD, and never returned it.

I think that's the real crime. They're children in Los Angeles who don't know Holocaust education because you're keeping the DVD. Because I kept the Netflix DVD. 100%. The children in Los Angeles. Wow. How could you do that to the children?

I think, whatever. Read a book. I remember when you got that DVD, Mitch, and you said, let's keep this piece of fiction under wraps. Oh, my God. Let's take this propaganda off the market. I believe a lot of Schindler's List. Oh, yeah.

But there's parts of it that are fictional. Which parts? You know. No, I don't. The big part. Okay. Oh, my God. All right.

Let's get into Foster's Freeze. I got the, so this was your first visit. You've never been there before. I have been there once, and I think I got ice cream. You've been there once. Okay. This maybe was my first visit. Okay.

I'd been a bunch of times. I didn't realize until I was researching this episode that there actually is directly derivative of Dairy Queen. There are now Dairy Queens out here in California. And I've been to both. And I think I might maybe prefer Dairy Queen. Kind of weird that they have the Manson Special. Right.

But their menu is so, so similar. It's like one-to-one with what Dairy Queen offers. It's the Hot Eats Cool Treats model. Yeah, it is. It really is. Absolutely. Hot Eats Cool Treats. For sure.

The Hot Eats Cool Treats model. I agree. And kind of their big, you know, like maybe the key point of evidence in that is that they have the Blizzard, they have the Twister. It's fundamentally the same thing. It's named after a different weather phenomenon. Kind of makes more sense. Yeah.

I actually agree. Yeah. But oh, I guess the Blizzard, cause it like is cold and gives you brain cancer. But the Twister it is. Oh, you know what? The Twister is spun up. What if it was like, you know what would make the most sense? The cold Twister.

Yeah. Yeah. The barista. The barista. The barista. Yeah. The barista. Yeah.

Yes. That makes the most sense. I'll suggest it. The cold, if it was like a winter storm with a Twister in it. God, can you imagine that snow would be flying everywhere? First of all, they have that like kind of like a squall white squall. I like that. That was one of my favorite me too.

I would have gone along great. All my female fantasies involve shirtless boys killing a dolphin. Yes. The dolphin. It is intense. Yeah. They kill a dolphin and it is kind of a gruesome sad scene. I haven't seen it.

They all pay for it because most of them, not most of them, but a few of them drown in the ship sinking. I will say, if you do choose to watch it, think of 14 year old Holly and how hot under the collar I was getting for that movie. Hey, same with teen to preteen Mitch. Like it's all buff shirtless boys. I'll rent that movie on Amazon. I'll tell Natalie, hey, just so you know,

mentally, I'll be picturing two of my friends as teenagers. Laura, watching this movie and then we'll just watch it in silence. Oh, like you haven't worn out that DVD. It's so, oh God, I get horny just thinking about it. Oh, Jesus. Who's in it? Is it? The guy from party of five, Scott Wolfe is in it.

And then classic Kong. Also one of the guys from Clueless. Yeah. And a bunch of other yum super yums. Now, was this like, cause I feel like sometimes you've get the, cause nowadays you see someone who's shirtless in a movie and they're just always just like jacked. They're like really buff.

But was this maybe like these guys were a little bit more live and wiry or were they also pretty? Probably got his attention. They also pretty jacked. What type of hunks were these? Well, cause they were all younger hunks. So it was like that yum super yum 20 year old body. I think they were like 16 PS.

Yeah, but the actors were probably 20. Maybe. And so it was, it was hard. It was just right. Right. That non-threatening physicality. Exactly. You're in shape, but you're not going to hurt.

Weigar is a fan of hunks. Well, that's the hunkiest movie ever. I got to check this out. As a fan of hunks, Weigar, you got to watch it. Yeah. I didn't, I wasn't aware there were hunks in this. All right. The master's freeze.

I got the big boss burger. Oh, you did. And we also, Mitch, you also got the big boss. I did. I got the big boss combo. Not, hey, you know what? This isn't the big boss from Metal Gear. No, it certainly is not.

This is a, this is a burger with onion rings on it and bacon and two slices of cheese, two different kinds of cheese. Lettuce and tomato and, and, and condiments. What were the two types of cheese? There was a yellow and a white. I assumed it was a, it was either two different types of American or it was American and Jack, but it was, I'd say, I think that's a pretty tasty burger.

I mean, it was overstuffed, had a lot going on, but as far as like one of those big filling burgers, the onion rings had a really nice crisp texture to them and a good amount of oiliness to them. And I thought just like it was well-dressed, it was nice and moist. I enjoyed that burger quite a bit. I thought the burger tasted great.

Yeah. I really did. I thought it was a great tasting burger. I'm trying to figure out what burger I had. I just had like the classic burger. You just, you had it like 10 minutes ago. Your bag of food is sitting on the table. It's on the tables right here.

It might be on the bag. I don't, it looked on the receipt. It's not on the receipt. I would suggest maybe Fosters-Freeze, just get more branding on what, what I ordered. So I'm less confused. For someone who might be on a podcast. I want to say this, Weiger.

Yeah. And no offense, Holly, don't get mad at this. Classic, just American burger stand burger. Yeah, it really was. It really fucking knocked it out of the park. Yeah. Okay, so I had the old fashioned. Okay.

Which sort of describes me as a person. Oh boy. Oh, Jesus. And I thought it was a really good burger. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It tasted like a great classic burger. Right. You know what I mean?

Like it was. Hey, this sounds like what I was saying. But yeah, but mine was old fashioned and you guys got a big boss. What was on that old fashioned? Just your classic. I got it with cheese. There was some mayo, tomato, onions, lettuce.

It was really good. I actually prefer a thinner meat patty. Right. Sometimes that can be a thing where you get, yeah, like that can have just like a more even distribution of temperature. You know what? Too thick.

Make you sick. Thank you. Perfect. Too sick. Make you too thick. Make you sick. It's true. I don't, I don't want a big thick burger sometimes either.

You know, a couple of thin patties doubled up. I'm even happier with that. Well, health code wise, just so you guys know, in Canada, you can't serve a burger rare. Oh, interesting. Because E. Coli is more likely to happen when a meat is ground. Right.

So when we came here, that was a big shock to our systems because a burger is always well done in Canada. Ugh. So to me, a thinner burger is yummier because I don't like when they give you a thick old burger with pink in the middle. I'll take my burger like medium if I get to cook an attempt, but I don't mind a well done burger.

I feel like that kind of reminds me of that backyard barbecue burger. Yeah. But I think I prefer, I don't like to go less cooked than medium on a burger even though I like it. I'll take like a steak, like medium rare. I feel the same way, but it's just because the meat is ground anyways.

Right. We are more safe in Canada and sort of more superior, I would say. A little bit more boring. Safe and boring. Oh yeah. We don't want to poop our pants. We're so boring.

Yeah. It is more exciting if you had to maybe poop your pants all of a sudden. It is. That is true. But let me tell you, you weren't going to poop your pants with this burger. No.

I don't think ever. Maybe never. It was. It was cooked really well. I thought I thought at some points, but you know what? Not even. I was going to say because I know you like a thin patty and I was like, were there some points where I was getting

too much of the other stuff and not the burger patty, maybe like at one small point, but for the most part, you still got a good taste of the beef. Yeah. The cheese really came through because you're right. There was definitely two different types of cheese, but I was wondering what they were. I had no idea, but you could tell.

You could just taste it. The cheese tastes great. Melted cheese, the onion ring on there. It was, Nick, it was really, really well done. I would maybe go back. Yeah. For sure. I got fries with my meal.

I also got fries. I got the combo. The fries were, some of them were well done and they were like very like, they were reminding me of burger stand fries. They were like very. They're crinkle. They were oily, crinkle cut cooked. They weren't the best, but they were, they were tasty.

I thought they were pretty good. Pretty good. I thought they were pretty good and they taste like real potatoes. I feel like we're so used to like a French fire where it's like, I don't know if I'm McDonald's French fries don't taste like potatoes. They're so good though. I got the chili cheese fries. Okay.

And how, what did you think? So I agree with you on the fry texture. I'd mind where, if anything, maybe a little overcooked, like you kind of had those, some of those fries that were just like a little. That's what I'm saying. I got some of them that were overcooked. Yeah. And the cusp of being burned and just like kind of like really soaked with

oil, but that actually does help them hold up a little bit with all that chili on there. It was probably your fault that I got those because you got those chili cheese fries. So I blame you now. You think so? You think they extra cook them because they're because you got that chili cheese.

I don't know. That's why I don't like, I like chili cheese fries in theory, but I actually don't want anything to mush up my fries. Man, I love them. I get what you're saying, but I love them. I don't even need ketchup on my fries. They get it, but you love poutine though, but they get upset when that doesn't, isn't crunchy.

Exactly. It should be crunchy. Right. I don't know. I really like chili cheese fries. For me, there's something of a comfort food and I feel like they're, they're worth the rumblies that happen afterwards. Gross.

What? Super yum. What? Super yum. Jesus. What? What did you think of these chili cheese fries? I was wondering what, because you're sick.

Yeah. I didn't want to share. I was sick as hell. I'm not sick right now. I mean, I offered you a taste before I dug in. I said, no, thank you. That's beautiful. But anyway, so the, the, the, the chili is very, very thin.

It's like, it's what Nali would, would call diarrhea chili. Not because of what it induces, but because of like it visually, it kind of looks like it. And I know it's really gross when you think about it, but it is also like kind of like the best description of it, of its, of its texture. And so, and so like it's a really thin brown chili that's mostly meat based and then just like some really shredded, like tightly shredded cheese

coiled in there. And I thought it was really good. I like, I really liked it. I thought they were tightly shredded cheese. Yeah. Coiled in there. Very thinly shredded cheese. Coiled in there was a weird thing to say.

It was very thinly shredded. I like it. You're coming over to Mitch's side, baby. It was kind of, it was kind of almost angel hair. You know what I mean? Like just like really, really thin. Is this a religious thing? No, like angel.

I mean, eating these was a religious experience. Like an angel's hair. I never liked angel hair pasta. Yeah, me neither. Oh, I do. I don't like it. Ugh, too thin. Get the fuck out of here.

Yeah, of course a big boy would say that. Yeah. I don't want to eat little baby angel hair. It's fucking weird. I don't like it. I don't like it. I mean, I get why you like it. You're eating angel hair and you're watching white squall

with all these young boys in it. Whoa, jizz city. I looked and they were all like, like some of them were like in their 30s surprises. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. It was appropriate for me to like them at all ages, as I'm saying.

And it was a Ridley Scott movie. Oh, right. A man who's productive well into old age. Mm-hmm. Busy right now with reshoots on. Oh, yeah. All the money in the world. All the money in the world.

Replacing Kevin Spacey with Christopher Plummer. What a world. What a world. So the chili, yeah, the chili cheese fries were really good. Hey, you know what? Real quick, we had a little tangent there, but I am actually, I'm curious if people out there like angel hair pasta, hashtag.

Yeah, hashtag it. Hashtag angel hair. If you don't like angel hair pasta, hashtag devil hair. Let us know your pasta of choice. So your hashtag is angel hair? Yeah, if you're an angel hair fan, angel hair. If you don't like it, devil hair. What about angels hair fare?

Yes, angel hair fare. Okay, angel hair fare. Yes, and that's F-A-I-R, right? And then devil hair snare. Oh, okay, great. Okay, great. Thank you for the punch up. No problem.

So the chili cheese fries, I thought they were really good. They were really filling. I thought the chili was medium, the right amount of cheese that was melting on there as I was eating them and that the fries had a good texture for it. Mitch, we also got a burrito, which was a very odd item. Do you cover fries and chili because you don't like fries in general?

No, I love fries. It's like putting a pill in peanut butter. No. For a dog? No, I like fries. I think the watery chili might be good for fries. You're getting more sausage, like not like sauce, more sauce on those fries.

Saucy, yeah, saucing. Yeah, you want it more like a sauce and more like the, I guess people would say like a Cincinnati chili. You want it more like a sauce than like something with beans in it, which will be a little too starchy. And we also got that burrito, Mitch, which was an odd item on the menu, which we kind of just wanted to try for curiosity's sake.

It was basically like it tasted kind of like a chimichanga. It wasn't. It was, we didn't realize it was deep fried until we were being handed it. Yeah, it is beans and beef and then just in the throne in the deep fryer and wrapped in a tortilla thrown in the deep fryer. To me, I didn't love this.

I didn't love it. It was probably my least favorite thing. I would say like when I was there ordering, I was like, who ordering this? And then Why did you say like a case? Who ordering this? That's how I think.

And I, now I know it's you two guys. It was for us. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we asked for it and then she shouted like one burrito like back to the kitchen and then someone in the kitchen said, who ordering this?

It was me guys. Yeah. I wanted to do foster's freeze because I also work there. So it was sort of easy for me to do research. Right. Right. You know a lot about it. Yeah.

It seems like you don't know too much. I got a milkshake. What kind of shake did you get? I got just straight up vanilla. I'm allergic to chocolate. What? Allergic to chocolate. Yeah.

You're like a dog. Yeah. Exactly. That sucks. Wow. I mean. I've never heard of a person who's allergic to chocolate. It must exist.

Obviously exists. If you were Augustus Gloop, you'd be done for. Who's Augustus Gloop? He's the one who falls in the chocolate river and will he walk in the chocolate factory? Not as popular in Canada, guys. Wait. What?

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Candy in general. We don't like candy. We're just better than that. Wow. You know what I mean? We don't need a movie to promote candy. Hmm.

Isn't that a British? I mean, it's a British property. Right. What's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Is Roald Dahl? I think Roald Dahl is British. Yeah, I think so. Yeah.

I mean, they love their candy in England. What do you mean? They're actually very, they're very superior about it. Yeah. They think that our chocolate tastes like vomit. Yeah. It does because it's you guys. Oh, yes.

You guys think this too. Because we have British chocolate. Yeah. So it's like you guys, it's because yours is like, we call them chocolate bars and you call them candy bars because I think you guys can't call them chocolate bars because the actual amount of chocolate in them is so minuscule.

Right. That you're all living a lie. Right. You know what? I believe it to Wagner and I, the two people can actually fucking eat it. Yeah. I get really bad migraines.

I'm super cool. Invite me to your party. The migraines are chocolate-induced or that's unrelated. Yeah. That's crazy. So I can like even just tasting chocolate, I can get a migraine. Wow.

Yeah. Well, then you stuck with vanilla, which is a flavor. It's not plain. Some people think of it as plain, but vanilla's a flavor. How dare they? Yeah, vanilla's great.

I love vanilla. Yeah. But how is that vanilla sharing? Wagner's so boring. I think he's exciting. Oh. You think Wagner's exciting? Yes.

I think you're the boring one. Wow. What the fuck? That's not true. Yes, it is. What do you do that's so exciting? I got my cats. Okay.

Well, that point proven, okay? You loved me before, Joe. I mean, sure. Okay. It was all a game. I mean, I just really wanted to get my citizenship and I thought this guy will say yes to me and I was wrong.

Look, I like vanilla shakes. I mean, Wagner is boring and he gets vanilla too much on everything, but I like vanilla shakes. I like a vanilla malt. Vanilla malt is great. Yeah, vanilla malt's good. You know what's better? Chocolate malt.

Anyways. I thought it was delicious. I think their ice cream is what they're known for. Yeah, right. I was there ordering my food and I saw mainly people ordering ice cream, which sort of made me a bit scared to eat the burger, but it was really good.

Yeah. The burger was great. Nick, you're not the only one who got a sweet treat. Oh, yeah. Wagner and I also got some twisters. We both got the twisters, the Blizzard equivalent. What size do we get? We got the junior size, which was still a lot of food.

The junior, it's like a child's size. If your child's having this, they're going to be up all night with a sugar rush. That's true. We call that sugar bones in my house. Sugar bones? Yeah, sugar bones. And Joe Wenger gets a fair share of sugar bones.

Well, let me tell you that. Yeah. Don't give the junior size to junior. Right. Because, uh... Well, it seems like... Definitely don't give it to junior Healy. We think he's a problem child now.

If you gave junior Healy the junior size, he'd be a huge problem child. But here's my question. Isn't junior the smallest size? So you really are limited in giving junior a junior size. I'm saying that you couldn't even handle the junior size. You couldn't even handle that. That's too much.

You could maybe give it to the Schwarzenegger Junior, because he's pregnant. He might have the munchies. Yeah, I think the Schwarzenegger Junior, it's appropriate, but junior Healy, not appropriate. What would he do? He'd probably put cockroaches and a bunch of salads or whatever the hell he does.

Is that what he does? He does do that at one point. I don't think I've seen problem child. He hypnotizes his grandpa's dog, and then it unfreezes and has a big shit, if you don't remember the problem child franchise. No. Was this a big part of the movie?

Yes. No one remembers. Do you not see the problem child movies? Is Charles Groton in these? No, Charles Groton. That's Beethoven. I'm thinking of Beethoven. Which, by the way, is about a dog.

Problem child is about a child. Right. John Ritter and his son, junior. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like the Dennis the Menace real life action. But this is distinct from Clifford, which was a dog. Yes.

A big red dog. Is there another Clifford with Martin Short as a kid? Yes, yes. There were a lot of bad like kid and dog movies for a time. I feel like that era has kind of passed. Yeah. When it's just like an impestuous youth. It will come back around.

With sustain a film. It's going to come back around. Yeah. You'll be writing on the problem child reboot or something at some point. Write me a part, please. Okay. Well, please. We'll write Holly into it.

I could be like, you know, the disapproving aunt who's like, don't do that. You're in. Yeah, yeah, booked. In fact, you've also written your own dialogue. Great. I would like a writing credit. Don't do that.

And who ordered this? Your two catchphrases. Great. Great. Michael Richards is in the movie. Oh, is he? Michael Richards pre Seinfeld. Maybe he should.

Hey, maybe they should replace him in Seinfeld with Christopher Plummer. Christopher Plummer should go back and reshoot scenes from problem child. Yeah. Maybe in Seinfeld too. All right. So the junior cinnamon toast crunch twister. Oh, yeah. That's what I had.

That's what you had? Yeah. Cinnamon toast crunch cereal mixed in with some ice cream, some soft serve. A nice cinnamon flavor that was getting conveyed into the ice cream itself when that swirl, the way it was swirled in there. And then just a nice crunch from the, just the right amount of cinnamon toast. I had a bite of this before you contaged it. Yeah.

What did you think? I liked it. I liked it a lot. Yeah. It was real good. I was just trying not to eat all of it because I knew how healthy it was, but I just kept nibbling on it. Yeah.

Those calories were a high count on those calories for the junior size. It was crazy. I had the worms and dirt, aka basically a dirt cup like our old friend Bugman used to love. From Tony Romes. From Tony Romes. So it was basically a chocolate ice cream with Oreos mixed in. And gummy worms? And gummy worms on the top.

See, I don't like gummy worms and frozen stuff because they get too hard. You know what? I kind of agree, but I thought it was a fun thing to do. I love gummy worms, but I don't want them to get mucked up in chocolate. No, don't muck them up. Don't muck them up. The worms, but it was fun. Yeah.

I very much liked it. They did get hard. The gummy worms got hard, but the ice cream and everything was great. They were the only thing that got hard image. Jesus Christ. I was getting hard eating the ice cream, speaking of sugar bones, sugar boners. Jesus. You didn't have to elaborate.

I don't know who your listeners are or what your fan base is, but they might have needed some help there. Yeah, I think there was someone who didn't connect the dots on that. I think you did a service. Allow me. I really enjoyed it. I really, really enjoyed it. Yes, you're right about the just the inherent problem of gummy worms

and a frozen treat is a little tricky, but it was great. And I ate almost the whole thing. Nick, I was with you. The fries and burger and the burrito. The burrito was the downside of the meal, but pretty good. But again, who ordered that? Right. You know what I mean?

Yeah, we fucked up. We did. But I think I would go back to Foster's freeze. I mean, I've been back. It's a place I've been to a number of times and certainly growing up, it was it was something of a favorite. Yeah, I don't. I just like, I guess at this point we should just kind of get to our final

thoughts and wrap it up in the shake. I'm not quite sure how to evaluate it, but I think I'm going to figure it out as we go. Probably this is how this will work. We'll all go around. We'll give our closing argument, if you will, based on our experiences with this chain and then ascribe it a rating on the order of zero to five forks. You are our guest.

We will begin with you. I thought it was great. I love Foster's freeze. I think it combines fresh air and food, which is hard to find sometimes. You know what I mean? I think it's given you that old fashioned burger that you want. It's given you that creamy ice cream that you love. I'm going to go ahead and give it five forks.

Five forks. Holy Jesus. I'm going to go there every day now. Wow. Every day? If I can swing it. I mean, I had a fun time too, but I think you're kind of an easy grader. Five forks.

I kind of want this episode to be special and make it to the golden plate club or whatever. Jesus. Well, Holly, I'll say this. I also want to just tell you for the sake of this review, I got a Diet Pepsi. They have Pepsi products here. Yeah, I did. I noticed that.

Yeah, kind of a bomber, but they also had root beer floats, which I don't know what type of what it would be. IBC is mug mug root beer. Mug is the Pepsi root beer mug. Sounds too much like a mud. Anyway, fair point. It also sounds like hug. True.

That's something Mitch also hates. Also sounds like bug. That's true. It also sounds like bud, baby. Now you're talking my language. Mug doesn't sound like a bud. Yeah, it does. It does to me.

It does if you're high, Mitch. I had a lot of fun at Foster's Freeze. I didn't like my company, Nick. Okay. We had a nice time. We had a nice time. You were sick though. We talked about Mario.

We did. I'm sorry. Now I feel bad. I did enjoy my company. And Nick, I'm going to show you the darker side of the moon on Mario Odyssey. I'm very excited. Sorry, all. You don't get to see it.

I mean, I got to eat alone and now I'm not getting invited to this other thing. So life is great. Old Paul Dogg today. You could have eaten with us at 1230. I know, but for why? For why. Good question. I don't know.

This just reminded me. Nick, you know what? Yeah. I always say this that I'm looking for east coast vibes out on the west coast. Right. I'm a man far away from his home. You know what I mean? And this really gave me that vibe.

It was a nice great little burger stand and ice cream stand. And I was liking all the flavors I got. If I mean like I couldn't give it below for for real. Yeah. I mean, it was my first experience with that. I can't go below it. I could get how some stuff might not be as good. The fries were a little overcooked, but some of them are really good.

The burrito was not that great, but the burger was great. The ice cream was great. What the hell else am I supposed to say? Four forks, my man. Yes. Yeah. I mean, look, I wasn't sure quite what to expect. I'd been to Foster's Frees as recently as I think two years ago went to the Santa Monica location.

It was a place I went to a good amount growing up as I may have mentioned earlier. I think I mentioned this earlier that I always preferred Dairy Queen and thought of this as like maybe the Pepsi did to as a place that serves Pepsi products. So I thought of it as the Pepsi to Dairy Queen's Coke. But this was a really good experience today. We went to clearly a classic vintage location, the one in Burbank that had clearly been standing for quite some time. Oh, you went to Burbank. Okay. Yeah.

I like that location. Yeah. And you've only been twice. You got favorites now? I went to Burbank. Burbank. And then the one on Fletcher. Oh, the one on Fletcher.

All right. Yeah. I think Burbank is a bit better. Right. Yeah. I've been in that signage, this kind of that hand painted signage that's been there for a long time. It's got a lot of charm. Clearly got a loyal clientele.

I mean, yeah, I don't know. I kept thinking like, I don't know if this is like, I was like, I look. What the hell is going on? I'm trying to figure out how to articulate this. Shakira said, hips don't lie. In this case, my lips don't lie. What? This burger.

God. These fries, this twister were delicious. I had a great time. My expectations were exceeded. This wasn't just nostalgia working on me. This was a genuinely good, fast food meal. Plus you were sick and you have fried taste buds and it was still good. I still like, well, I think my taste buds are still in pretty good working.

Oh, they're fried. They're in pretty good work. They're in pretty good work. It's more of a cough respiratory thing than something that's affecting my gross. Well, look, I think I can taste pretty well. My tongue, look, my tongue is working just fine. Your lips don't lie. My lips don't lie.

I think this is a pretty damn good burger. And they thought they were really good chili fries. And I love that dessert. Yeah. What the fuck? Foster's Freeze. Four Forks. Welcome to the Golden Play Club.

Wow. But sure. Wow. Why not? Does that make this episode a classic? Yeah. This is automatic. No.

That's how this works. It's automatically a classic episode. Nick, I'll go. You can talk to Holly. Oh boy. Good luck, Holly. And I'm going to go grab something from the fridge. Oh, good.

Mitch is going to set up our segment. Oh, OK. Now, Holly, here's a thing I want to touch on because you're here in Mitch's apartment. He mentioned you have this cat allergy. Yes. The chocolate allergy to me sounds like that's more of an obstacle in your life. But how is the cat allergy factored into your interactions? And how are you holding up right now?

I'm fine. Like a little, I can feel it a little bit. But my husband had a cat that we like kind of quarantine to one area of our house. Oh, wow. So that we could live like basically my husband had this strange world where he would come home from work and visit with his cat in one room and then come out and visit with me. Interesting. And in both areas, he was beloved.

Right. You know what I mean? Like he was the king of both areas. And basically he would enter and either me or the cat would be so excited to see him. And that's what happened. And you weren't like you weren't really interacting with his cat much at all. I would sometimes put a sock on my hand and pet his cat. Oh, OK.

That's nice. Because his cat was very sweet. He's passed away, but he was the sweetest, nicest cat. What was that cat's name? Kevin. Kevin Hines. Rest in peace, Kevin Hines. Yes.

That's a sad departure. I guess I'm glad your living situation is improved as tragic as that is. It is better now and we're going to get a dog probably. Oh, hey, what's that? And we're looking for names. So hashtag what our dog name, you know what I mean? Oh, funny you move in and the cat dies. Right, guys?

You guys want me doing my own hashtags? No, I like you. Yeah. Hashtag what our dog name. Great. I will take any suggestion. Mitch, were you implying that Holly had something to do with the cat's demise? I didn't think anyone heard it.

Well, I did like when Kevin passed, I did have to say to Joe, I've made a joke about him dying every day since I've met him. I feel bad. And Joe forgave me and it's all good. Yeah. That's a forgiving man. All right, Mitch, we've got a beverage. We're going to set if it's worth pouring down your throat.

It's drank or stank. Tell us what we got. We got a weird one today, folks. This is from Pressory, which I don't really know what the deal with Pressory is. This is organic, sparkling, drinking vinegar. This smells awful. Strawberry basil. It's a drinking vinegar.

What are the benefits of drinking vinegar invigorating prebiotic beverage? Why coconut bigger vinegar? It says on the back here. Do you want me to read what it says here? We know it sounds crazy, but drinking vinegar has been consumed, but drinking vinegar, I'm sorry, has been consumed for its health benefits since the times of ancient Greece. We're going at a fresh twist by blending coconut vinegar known as a super vinegar

vinegar with our cold pressed juices and adding some refreshing bubbles. That's the sparkling part to perfect our spin on an ancient tradition. Our products are irresistibly good for you with nutrition that inspires and flavors that pop. Each one is crafted by our team of flavor geniuses. I can't read this. It's so small to compliment a healthy lifestyle. It's tiny print.

All right, Mitch. It's the font size. You're such an old man. Here we go, everybody. Down the hatch? It smells like vinegar if you smell it. I'm really upset. And I'm out of water clear my palate after that.

Hey, it might be good for you. Shut up, Lager. Hopefully, this doesn't taste too putrid. I don't like it. It's like drinking balsamic with a little bit of sizzle to it because of the carbonation. I really don't like it. You know, I had a roommate, G, on years ago, and his grandfather was from Italy and just loved drinking vinegar, like straight vinegar.

That was just his favorite. And Italian people lived till they were like a thousand. Yeah, but he would just drink vinegar and his doctor would tell him not to do it. Oh, really? Yeah, but maybe it does have some health benefits. I don't know. I actually don't think it tastes too bad. I don't think it tastes too bad.

I am kind of, in my life right now, addicted to red wine vinegar. I love red wine vinegar. Using it for salad dresses. Oh, it is like a red wine vinegar, yeah. So to me, it tastes like something savory that I like. But would I go and buy this? Who ordered this? You know what I mean?

Who ordered this? Right. Yeah, it's really. You song's flying in with some water bottles. Oh, that's nice. You didn't need to do that. You song. God bless you.

You song, do you want to eat this weird vinegar drink? No, I'm good. Okay. I think that, yeah, I don't know. I mean, unless the health benefits were outlandish, I can't see myself. Mr. Sick over here. Maybe you should. Do you feel better?

Yeah, are you cured? No, I don't think so. I don't think this worked. It has an interesting aftertaste. It tastes, I mean, the vinegar kicks in a little bit after your drink. Yeah, I'm not sure for why, again. You know, like if this was like, this cures, this will make me thinner or more beautiful. It doesn't say anything.

It just says healthy lifestyle. Well, I gotta say that no drink really advertised, making anyone thinner and more beautiful. Well, that's why I don't drink anything. I'm liquid free. Liquid free. That's my lifestyle. Wow. You're all dry.

Yeah, my pee is very thick, but I'm still peeing, which is a good sign. Hey, there you go. It's a very good sign that you haven't just died. To pee is to live, they say. Maybe that's why that cat died. You have to feed it water. I'm going to tell Joe you said all this. I love cats.

I wish this cat lived forever and I hope my cats do too. Anyway, they will. For me, here's the thing. The red wine vinegar comparison tracks for me. That is probably the closest analog to what this tastes like. You're not getting hints of strawberry in there? Just a little bit. I'm certainly not tasting any basil.

It's definitely tastes like something. I'm a basil fan. I would like there to be a little bit more basil in this, but it definitely tastes more like something that I would pour over a mixed greens than something that I would have in a in a cup. I'll say this. I wouldn't want this drink warm. Right.

But this brings. I know I've heard a rumor that you like warm salads. No, this is. So if you warm. And you put it over a salad with that. This is not. I mean, this is not true. No, this is a thing Mitch made up on the podcast.

And you wouldn't want to pull this over your salad. It would cool it down because it's a cold. If you warmed it. Have you warmed it? Then yes. No, I wouldn't know. Even if I war if I warmed it, I wouldn't look. Here's a thing.

It's better. It'd be better as a salad dressing. This is a drink, but I wouldn't. If I'm having a salad, I don't want to be hot because I want a cold salad. Well, that's not what everyone's saying. Just so you know. Well, I'm just saying that if that's what people are saying, what they're saying is not the truth and stop ordering them.

I don't order. When have I ever ordered a hot salad? I see you do it all the time. I've never done that. I've never once done that. I mean, so the lettuce is hot or? Look, I imagine in this scenario, which is completely made up, I imagine in this fictional fantasy that the whole thing would be heated up in a skillet or something.

Interesting skillet. That's how you do it. Yeah, I would say like you probably go to a restaurant and when you order the soup and salad lunch combo and then you're like put it in one container. No, I would not want that to be done. And they're like, who ordered this? I'd want to eat them separately. Not want those combined.

Do you like hot soup or cold soup? Yeah, good question. I like them both. But I prefer if that soup's supposed to be hot, give it to me hot. Just like salad. Do you like them both? No, I don't like them. Look, look, this drink, it's not pleasant.

I don't really, I don't like it. It would work better as a salad dressing, but I wouldn't want to eat, drink a cup of Thousand Island. I wouldn't want to drink a couple of ranch. No, I wouldn't. You've eaten mayo on its own before. There may have been a time in my life where I would eat like a thought, like I would just have straight Thousand Island, but I would not want to drink a cup of it.

I also, you shouldn't be ashamed. My family is very mayo based. Yeah. And my mom puts butter on everything. If she makes you a sandwich, she puts butter and mayo on both sides of the bread. Oh my God. Yeah. So I feel like I would eat a scoop of mayo.

I've heard Natalie's mentioned that before too, that her mom would make sandwiches with butter and mayo on them. Her mom's Vietnamese, but, but, and like that would just be, to me, that just seems like overwhelming. Like that seems like so intense. The idea of having those both. My mom's German. So one of the German treats is to eat like a thin piece of pumpernickel bread with a

layer of butter and a layer of sugar. Whoa. That sounds good as hell. Yeah. It's pretty yummy. I'm into that. Super yum. It does sound super yum.

Yeah. Yeah. Boy, I eat too much of that pumpernickel like that. I'm going to end up as a plumpernic myself. Oh my God. I liked it. I liked it. Thanks.

A plumpernickel. I really liked it. Yeah. So for me, this is a big time stink. What do you guys think? Yeah. I'm going to vote stink. Soft drink.

Soft drink, really? The health benefits. You could vote soft drink? Yeah. No, it's not a soft drink. Like a mild drink. Like it's not, you're not. Mild drink.

Yeah. Barely a drink. I'm going to, yeah. I'll go with whatever. Wait, are you saying yes? You would? For the health benefits, I think it wouldn't. Do you guys think I look prettier?

Yes. Then I think it's yum. Super yum. You couldn't look prettier. Delight. Oh my God. See, I don't know. Like he waits till I get married to kind of be this way.

You know. Oh Jesus. That was Drank or Stank. Just like a restaurant. I've got your feedback. Let's open up the feedback. Today's email comes to us from Sean Perota. Sean writes,

What would you say the best fast food milkshake is? I think it's White Castle, but I get some pushback because some people think they're too thick to drink. I suppose I can understand the complaint, but I also think those people are dumb fucks. So what if you got to work for it? That shake is so good. I don't want them too thin,

which is what I find McDonald's and Burger King shakes tend to be. Holly, do you have any preferences when it comes to fast food shakes? I know you got that vanilla shake sitting there right in front of you. I'm going to be honest. I've never had a White Castle shake. Me neither. Never been to White Castle. Me neither.

Me neither. But. Mitch and Weigar need to go to White Castle. Oh my God. The closest one is Vegas. You guys should go. I feel like we could probably knock a few chains off if we went.

We did a little Vegas swing. Oh wow. I wonder what it'll be like with you in Vegas. We spent time together in Vegas. What I wouldn't give for some behind the scenes, BTS shots of this Vegas trip. We were there for a bachelor party and we went to Margaritaville and I got my picture taken with Mario.

That is true. And did you go? Did you go back to your hotel after we had? I think you did after we had Margaritaville. I think you went back to your hotel room and it was like four p.m. No, no, because we had we had a dinner. There was a group dinner later. Anyway, I attended the group dinner.

I was hanging out at the cabana. I was hanging down at the pool with my shirt and pants on. I was down there. Who's this for? This wasn't Miss Paul's? Was it Paul? No, I thought maybe it was. Was it Maddie?

No, it wasn't Maddie. No, that was a different thing. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, I thought that was in the woods. Oh no, that's Dave Ferguson's. Ferguson's was in the woods. Yeah.

Yeah, we were all out in the woods. Yeah. Yeah. Someone was killed. Someone was killed. That is also my other white squall. It's just thinking about all of you guys in the woods. Oh, Jesus.

In a cab. White squall for hunks. Dave Ferguson's bachelor party for chunks. I don't. Okay, I have to be really honest with your listeners because I don't like to fuck around, but I'm not a huge milkshake fan. I find they're like, why am I ordering this? If I'm ordering a burger and fries, for example, I want refreshment.

I don't want a thick slug of a of a shake. That's fair. This guy's look for God's sake. Can you have something in the middle of their body? I know it doesn't have to be super thick. It doesn't have to be super thick, but I get what you're saying. You said you're saying that the shake is not a substitute for a conventional beverage. Like you'd rather get a fountain drink.

Exactly. And it's like, I don't know if you've been to that place in West Hollywood, like millions of milkshakes. I have not. It's like they're so big and once you have like two zips, you're done. Right. Did you just call them zips? Yeah, I did.

Super young. Yeah. My mom calls them zips. Zips. That was my cat's name was Zip. Well, growing up, but you call them zips instead of zips. But so if I had to, you ignored that my cat's name was Zip. Why don't you want from me?

I want to say that sounds like a good cat. I'll make a note of that. She lived from when I was five till I was 25 or almost 26. Or I think even what, what am I supposed to say? Rest in peace. Zip. Yeah. I'm sorry.

Good. Yes. Sounds like a great zip. You are a cat hater. I'll kill all the cats if you let me. But if I had to choose a milkshake, I we talked with us before, I love a malt. So anywhere that will do like a more old fashioned malts or like a Johnny Rockets. I'm going to get a lot of flag for this guy.

No, Johnny Rockets is a great choice is as far as down chains with a with a milkshake. I think they'd actually do a pretty good job. I just don't love Johnny Rockets, but I get that. But I also, I don't, I don't love a super thick milkshake. Yeah. I don't want like a runny milkshake. I mean, come on. I don't want like milk chocolate milk when I order a milkshake.

You want to be able to sip it a little bit. You want to use that straw. You don't want a spoon. Or zip it. You want to zip it a little bit. You want it to be nice and smooth. That's all. That's all.

Where would you go if a girl was like, let's go on a milkshake date mit. Oh God. What? This weird 1950s scenario that I'm in I don't. I don't know. You know, I love Brigham's. I like fraps, which are usually a little bit. They're not as thick right. They're nice and smooth nice and smooth. If I if I had to go to a place out here, you know what milkshakes I like out here.

Nick, I've said it to you before. I think that they're some. You know at some time they're a little melted. They can be a little too runny, but I think Carl's Junior has a really good milkshake. They actually they use ice cream in their milkshakes or at least their advertising purportedly says that they use, but you we've talked about this before. They have a pretty good milkshake. I think as fast food shakes go. I mean like I mean I guess I wouldn't choose that as my number one, but I'm just saying of like I'm trying to that's where you're taking a girl for

a milkshake. I decided on Carl's. You're going to go through the drive through. She's she shouldn't put out for you, but as far as a widely available option and I was saying like like the mixture of it all. I'm saying like I feel like the mixture of that is pretty good. I mean, I guess I would take her to Cafe 101. Oh yeah, they have those the peanut the nutter like it's like a they have a one milkshake that has like honey honey. Yeah. And then like that cereal in it. Yeah, honey. Not Cheerios.

No, but yes. I haven't been to I haven't got the Cafe 101 just a local coffee shop out here. I haven't been to or a diner that you'd call it these days. I haven't been to I haven't got I've been to there. I haven't gotten their their shakes before. I would say like in the fast food sector. I think Carl's Jr. is pretty good answer. Wendy's Frosty is not exactly a shake. I got myself in trouble for calling it a shake before.

It's not. It's not a shake. But I think as far as a widely available frozen treat, that's a pretty good option. But hold on. We're talking about shakes. Yes. OK. Yes. All right. Fine. It's in the shake. This is you trying to like win back favor. It's in the shake family.

But no, it's not. No, it's in the ice cream family. It's all the same. Does it come with a spoon? Yeah, it has a spoon. It's all the same family. Look, it's a soft ice cream treat. And it's a Jason.

What the fuck is this shit? It's neighbors with shake. It's just like a thicker shake. It's neighbors with shake. Yeah, it's like the same. It's like if you were looking, they're under the same. If you're talking about sorry, do you guess what? The Frosty lives out in fucking ice cream's garage.

He's not neighbors with shake. I didn't. I never thought of them living anywhere. So this is very interesting to me. You love Wendy's. Why are you? I love one. I'm just telling I'm not passing on it. I'm telling you the classification.

You're exiling it to the garage like a deadbeat son. I love garages. What are you talking about? Yeah, he would live in a garage. You'd be good. I would. All right. Yeah, it's cool. OK, well good.

The but anyway, I like when we were in Canada, we stayed in basically a garage. You and I and it was a guest house. I mean, let's not. All right. We're roughing it too hard. It was a guest house in an Airbnb. Don't you dare bring my country into this.

The but yeah, I think the I think look. OK, well, exclude the frosty because it's a yeah. Why did you bring it up also? Look, if your shake is too thick to suck through the straw, your mouth is going to cave in on itself. You're going to look like a weirdo. Yeah, I don't know if that's really what happens. That's how that's the origin of Dick Tracy's poon face is my

understanding. I thought you said poon face. Poon face. That's the Dick Tracy reboot. Oh, great. That's not trick Dick Tracy triple X. That's the porn parody. I really liked.

I really like the frosty though, but I think my go to. I agree with you and Carl's junior hardies. My go to I'm predictable and an Alper knew it. You've got a really good really great. Sometimes those are a little too thick and gummy. Sorry, dude. Don't say anything bad about in and out. Quiet.

It's everything's good there. Thank you. Quiet. God bless you. Tim Hortons. If you have a question or comment about the world of chain restaurants, you can email us at dopeboyspodcast.gmail.com. And hey, you can get the Dope Boys double a weekly bonus episode by

It was a really great show. Now it's really down the tubes, but what are you going to do? Why would you say that? Why is it down the tubes? Gymnasium factor? I mean, no, I'm not going to blame the venue. I'm going to blame the two hosts, Elana Johnston and I. You think it's on your shoulders?

Well, I think it used to be Fridays at midnight and people would come and party. And now it's like Thursdays at 10 and it's like mainly just moms. Yeah. I mean, I think it's mostly moms. It's mainly moms and yeah. I think that the, it would be cool to have it back
