Hey everybody, stay tuned for a new Golden Paw Club after the episode.
This Nicholas immediately let fly a fart, as great as if it had been a thunderbolt, so that with the stroke he was almost blinded, and he was ready with his hot iron.
And he smote Nicholas in the middle of the ass.
This passage, translated from Middle English, is exerted from Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, the 14th century anthology that became a staple of high school English classes, despite being lewd and horny.
The first describes the character Nicholas, gloating about having cuckolded his rival, Absalon, who retaliates by jamming a hot poker into Nicholas's rump region.
And 500 years later, it was another searing act of retribution for infidelity that reportedly led to the creation of Nashville's signature dish, hot chicken.
In the 1930s, Thornton Prince, a man known as much for his womanizing as his prowess in the kitchen, was creatively punished by his then-girlfriend for cheating.
She covered his fried chicken with hot pepper.
However, Prince not only loved the dish, but was inspired to turn his spurned lover's creation into a business.
And in 1945, he opened his eponymous Prince's Hot Chicken Shack in Nashville.
Over the decades, princes in similar restaurants like Bolton's Spicy Chicken and Fish became local institutions.
And in 2012, almost 60 years after a spicy punishment for stepping out led to the dish's conception, the father and son team of Nick Bishop Sr. and Jr. collaborated on a hot chicken outlet of their own.
Named after three female members of their own family.
The restaurant's high-quality fare and accessible to Caucasians branding led to rapid growth across Nashville, into neighboring states, and in Las Vegas, becoming a well-regarded small chain in just a few years.
Though it should be noted that the media success of restaurants like Hattie B's and the introduction of hot chicken and mainstream chains like KFC has led to charges of cultural appropriation and criticism for erasure of the dish's African-American origins.
Still, hot chicken is clearly a major current trend in American food.
So is this dish in an ever-expanding chain based around it here to stay?
Or is it destined to burn out, like a rectal hot poker wound inflicted upon an adulterous wife's lover?
This week on Doe Boys, Hattie B's.
What's up, guys? Welcome to Doe Boys Live!
What the fuck?
How am I accidentally doing Jerry Lewis slapstick up here?
Could never do physical comedy if I tried.
Yeah, so thank you guys for coming out.
I'm sorry, I know your phones are in those yonder bags.
You're probably envious of me staring at my phone for two and a half minutes as I read that intro.
But it's a good thing those are in there because tonight we're spoiling Avengers Endgame.
Yep.
But anyway, before we go any further, this week's roast is courtesy of Brad Evans.
Let me introduce my co-host, Hank Williams Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger.
Make some noise for the Spoon Man, Mike Mitchell!
What's up, Nashville?
Now, I know you guys got your phones in those yonder bags, but we're going to spoil Avengers Endgame.
Did you do that bit yet or no?
Yeah, I did it before you came out.
Shit. Yeah, sorry.
But thanks for coming to the brainstorm session where we came up with that.
It was a tough six hours, but I think we landed on something great.
I just want to say, Harry!
Y'all.
Oh, boy.
Wow.
Pop of the Night. It was the Pop of the Night.
You're calling Pop of the Night already?
I'm calling Pop of the Night right now.
It's going to be a bad night.
I guess it's appropriate that you're popping 90 seconds into showing up.
That was a pretty good pop, but you didn't know Pop of the Night.
Yeah, you're right. There's just no Pop of the Night.
You know who's Pop of the Night? George Raymond Weigher, my father, who I'm very proud of.
You're proud of him?
I'm proud of him. He's lived a good life. He's a good man.
Is he proud of you?
No.
Johnny Cash performed here in Nashville.
Very cool.
This is a sad state for your city. I feel bad for you.
Yeah. I mean, I don't, it's a decline. I mean, what do you do?
What is this second table here? Why don't we have a little mini table?
What's the second table? You sang, we didn't ask for a second table.
You sung, please get rid of the second table.
I really am, and it's messing up this guy's eye line.
Yeah, that guy's just looking at a table, a bottom of a table.
Sorry about your table. Are you still, are you okay?
Okay, you're just locked in to me the whole time. Great. That's great.
Oh, cool.
I'm usually the one staring at someone and creeping with that.
It'll be fun to watch you guys stare at each other the entire night.
That guy's, I think that's me from another timeline.
Is it going to end your loop? Is it going to happen?
All right. Hit them with the drop, you song or whoever.
I think we know what the next drop is going to be.
I mean, it's fun to kiss kids. Yeah, whatever you want to show,
however you want to show a picture of your family. Thank you for that.
There we go.
Oh man, this is such a long email.
Oh, man, this is such a long email.
I originally subbed to this job.
I know Nick gets accused of not liking music a lot,
but from the video game sound, actually joys and the spawn us a for Pink Floyd.
I feel like you might actually like my band.
We're called Continuum Kingdom and we're on Spotify.
Hey, how about that? You will never listen to this guy's band.
But you gave him a plug right here in Music City. That's right.
Things are about to turn around.
By the way, there was a note I meant to say from Brad Evans,
who sent in that excellent roast earlier.
He wrote, see you fucks in Nashville.
It's a little aggressive, but I mean, it's fair.
Fair, very fair.
We are in Nashville and we are fucks.
Mitch, we have a lot of fun.
We have a lot of fun.
We have a lot of fun.
We have a lot of fun.
We are in Nashville and we are fucks.
Mitch, we have much to discuss.
I do want to touch on a couple of things.
One, and our producer, Yu Song, who's along with us for this trip
and ran on stage and hurriedly got that small table out of the way.
Actually, Yu Song, I don't like seeing this guy stare.
Can you put the table back?
Get that small table back.
Yu Song has basically been grappling with PTSD last night,
today, because last night he had a mosquito in his room.
He's a delicate man.
Well, to be fair, he said, there's a flying spider in my room.
And I was like, hmm, I don't know if that exists.
So I would be scared if there was a flying spider in my room.
Yeah, that's like a Todd McFarlane creation.
That's like something you'd see in Kiss Psycho Circus.
He was very worked up about that,
and then I think he fell asleep moments later because he wore himself out.
He chased it around.
He ultimately killed, I was with him,
and he killed the mosquito with a box of flash cards.
Yes.
I guess Yu Song had homework?
What's going on?
Was he like in seventh grade?
And then afterwards, he was just very shaken up.
Yes, and this morning he knocked on the bathroom.
I've been in the bathroom a lot, this trip.
It's true.
I said this last night when we're in Alabama,
but you eat some crazy food down here.
It's true.
It's a lot.
It's a lot.
And Yu Song knocked on the door on the bathroom this morning.
It was like, Mitch, I don't want to freak you out,
but there's a mosquito in the tub.
And I looked, and it was a cricket.
Right.
Yu Song does not know his bugs.
I hope the flash cards were for bugs.
He really does need to learn that.
So basically what he thought spiders exist,
like he knew spiders exist.
And he thought there was a flying spider.
Then he learns of the existence of mosquitoes,
and then he generalizes that to,
okay, if it's not a spider,
it must be some kind of mosquito.
Well, now he knows cricket, so he's on the way.
He's growing.
He's learning every day.
But another thing, Mitch,
and I am a man who spills a lot of drinks.
That's true.
I may have spilled something yesterday
in the bedroom I was sleeping in on the cable box.
What?
I spilled my water on the cable box.
I don't think anything will function.
Good.
But you, today, the tables were churned.
You spilled in the car.
Whoa, everyone.
Oh, they're blown away.
Wow, they brought pitchforks.
I can't believe that you took note of that, you dork.
I made it.
I put it in my notes app immediately.
Good thing all their phones are in yonder bags.
They'd be calling Ubers to go home right now.
That's why they do it.
It's just for us.
I did.
We stopped at Sonic.
Yeah.
Okay.
And we got some cherry limades.
Yeah.
And I grabbed the top of it and it fucking exploded
into the center of the console.
It was a mess.
But that was what, don't you think?
It was very contained spill.
Don't you have some empathy as someone
who has lived through a spill yourself
for a man who spills frequently?
You try to add like this is like some sort of survivors thing
where we both, this is like the first time
I spilled in like two years.
I'm saying, but like it's a pain in the ass, right?
It was inconvenient.
It was embarrassing.
No, it was fine.
Stop spilling so much.
I'll try.
As I said that, I hit myself in the nose with the microphone.
I'm clumsy.
Mitch, but you know, I want to talk about Sonic a little bit
because it is a southern chain.
Not what we're reviewing today, but we did have it.
And I think we have something to discuss,
but I think to do that, we should bring out our guests.
We're thrilled to have them.
It was his idea to go to Sonic.
It was his idea from drunk history.
Comedy Big Bang and Brooklyn Nine-Nine makes some noise
for Carl Tartt.
I got the horses in the back.
Horse stock is attached.
And he's mad at black.
Got the bushes black and mad.
Brought in on a horse.
You can't work your Porsche.
I've been in the valley.
You're making up all that Porsche.
Can't nobody see it.
So we're the-
I'm a big boy.
The screen, we all hit the screen.
I'll hit the screen.
Yeah.
You're in the Hattie B's hat.
Yeah.
Making your allegiances known from the outset.
Yeah, this was not included in my per diem set by these guys.
I had to buy this on my own.
It was out of my pocket.
Carl, we went to Sonic today.
This was your idea.
You grew up in Mississippi.
Spent some time here as a child.
You're a Sonic fan.
Yeah, big Sonic fan.
I usually keep the same order every time I go.
The foot-long chili cheese coni and some tots.
Wow, people love that.
I don't play around.
I don't play-
I don't play no games.
In case y'all don't know Nashville.
I don't play no games.
They do a great hot dog there.
I got myself the BBLT, which is a BLT on a bun.
No one is really-
There was one woo for yours.
Look, the foot-long chili dog is more of a crowd, please.
The BBLT, I think, is a limited time offering.
It also sounds like a porn hub search tab.
Just large, beautiful women crushing sandwiches.
Keep talking.
Man, too bad your guys phones are in those yonder bags.
I'm looking that shit up right now.
It was fucking great.
I really liked Sonic a few times before.
I loved their tots or tots are salty and greasy and crispy.
It's just a bacon sandwich.
It's just bacon in there.
They've replaced the patty with bacon,
and I didn't know if it was going to work,
but I thought it was dynamite.
It was like a baconator with no patty.
Mitch, what did you think of what you got?
It was good, but at that point I was feeling a little sick still.
I went into the Sonic bathroom, which Nick lied about.
I was like, how is it in there?
He went, uh, it's okay.
And you were like, the floor is wet.
And I was like, hmm, seems strange.
I asked too.
I was like, wet with pee.
He was like, no, no water.
And it was like, oh, and then I went in there in the floor.
It had like an inch of water on it.
It was really, it was like a moat.
I undersolded a little bit, but I knew you needed to use the restroom.
And it seemed like a pretty, a fairly private one person restroom.
Yeah.
Someone knocked on the door immediately.
Yeah.
I just, I just wanted to like, you know, for you to not feel discouraged from using it.
Yeah.
Well, thank you.
I had, I had a chili cheese dog, you know, a smart thing to have when my stomach was hurting.
Sonic's favorite, isn't that Sonic's favorite food?
Sonic loves chili dogs.
Yes.
Oh wait, hold on.
I wrote a joke for this.
Hold on.
I forgot.
Oh boy.
Hold on.
Wait.
It's early.
Hold on.
It's in my text.
Okay.
Cool.
We'll keep waiting.
Yeah.
There were two, two teens in the car next to us who worked at, both worked at Sonic smoking
cigarettes.
This is in a Ardmore, Alabama slash Tennessee, which, which side is the Sonic on?
Is it in Alabama or Tennessee?
It's in Alabama.
Okay.
Forgive me.
And they were making out in the car smoking cigarettes.
And I was like, ah, to be young again, making that Sonic money.
And getting a little tug and lunch time.
Weigher had his face pressed against the glass.
Looks like Garfield.
Okay.
I found it.
All right.
Here we go.
All right.
You song.
Is this joke good?
It's fitting.
There's such a large Sonic presence in Tennessee because this state is a real green hill zone.
Some polite applause.
However, you song's assessment.
Oh my God.
I think it's a 10 out of 10.
Did he really say that?
Yes.
He had some before we went to Sonic today.
Last night we went out and partied a little bit in Huntsville, Alabama.
We went and did some karaoke.
You shook your head when I said we partied.
Well, you, how will you consider that party?
You had two white wines.
What are you talking about?
I stayed out late.
I stayed out until last call.
He stayed out until last call.
That is true.
Which I don't normally do.
But you did have two or maybe three white wines.
I think I had, I think I called it tonight at two.
No, I got, I had two.
I may have had three.
I think you had two, Nick.
They didn't have the Pinot that he ordered, so he had to get the Chardonnay.
Yeah, I had a compromise.
That was probably your wildest night in years, I'm guessing.
Is it up there?
I might get two broodogs right now.
I can throw them back.
All right.
Yeah, this one is called, it's a little upsetting.
It's called Dead Guy Ale.
Brogue beer.
It's a little hoppy for me.
I'm not, I'm not, not super into this hoppy, but I got a youngling on deck.
Um, what, what did I, did I say it wrong?
How did someone, just one person say it.
How do I say it?
Yingling.
Okay.
I said it youngling like, uh, Anakin describing the young Jedi.
So, uh, but yeah, I can, but we karaoke, both of you guys are incredible singers.
It's your double threats.
Wow.
Amazing pipes on these guys.
Thank you.
I was blown away.
You should say to sing.
Hit him with a little note.
Hit him with a note or two, Mitch.
Okay.
We did, we sang, Nick, you didn't sing.
No, I mean, I got a little shy and I was also, I was so tired.
I didn't have any energy.
You kind of got it.
You, you get a, I felt like I get up there and I just would have been lethargic.
And I'm, that's my normal energy, but then it would have, like if I'm in that and the
karaoke context, plus I'm just exhausted, I felt like it would have been bad.
It would have gone poorly.
What, what, what would you, what's your go to karaoke song?
Christmas shoes.
That's the song you can sing tired.
It wasn't likely challenge you to do a bone thugs and harmony song or something.
Wait, wait, let's talk about your guys karaoke go tos.
Was it what you sang last night?
What did I sing last night?
One of them is my, is my new karaoke go to.
That's your man by Josh Turner.
Yeah.
You guys know that song?
That was great.
All right.
Maybe luck the hell.
He's good.
And what was the other thing I sang?
It was some other country shit.
Country songs are fun to sing at karaoke.
Yeah, for sure.
Maybe some Zach Brown band or something.
I forgot the other song.
I did a, if you could read my mind by Gordon Lightfoot.
That was nice.
And I really brought the fucking crowd down.
Also, if you could read bitch's mind, it would just say scene missing.
Speaking of country songs, I used to, and I kind of stopped doing it because it felt
like it started to become, I have political connotations.
I used to be proud to be an American, which is a Lee Greenwood song.
But then it's become a, because I knew, I know all the lyrics because it was in Boy Scouts
and we had to memorize it for some reason.
What?
Really?
What is that?
And also the Stater Brothers theme song.
What?
That was for a skit.
The other was for, was just like, it was like a thing we sang at camp.
Stater Brothers, for those who don't know, is a local grocery store chain in Southern
California.
Do you not have Stater Brothers out here?
No.
That is, the song, sing the lyrics of the song.
The song is, because this is why I assumed it might be outside of the coast.
We're the heart, we're the heartland, and we're working hard.
We're the heartland, right in your backyard.
We're the girl next door who could be your wife.
We're the friends you make, are the friends for life.
We're the heartland, Stater Brothers.
What?
It's all about being the heartland.
And yes, California is the number one agricultural state in the nation, which sometimes gets
forgotten.
However, I think heartland, people think of a different part of the US.
The reason why I asked you about that is because when I was growing up, the song was in the
heartland of California.
Oh, in the heartland of California.
Yeah.
You got to get on YouTube.
When you sing it, it sounds like you're about to cry.
Why is that?
Are your eyes watering too?
Yeah.
Teared up a little bit.
That just made me grappling with Boy Scout Camp coming to service.
I don't think you understand, Mitch.
That girl next door could be his wife.
Heartland of California, that really changes things.
I'll have to look it up.
Oh my God, yes.
From here on out, the world is crazy to me.
But you say you were singing some Gordon Lightfoot.
I sang some Gordon Lightfoot.
You had something else you were singing.
What was it?
I did more than one.
Didn't you?
No, I just did one.
You just did one?
Yeah, the guy forgot to put me in.
Oh, that was the issue.
That guy was shit-faced.
Everyone there was shit-faced.
Yeah, that's a common theme down here.
The bartender was like staggering.
Yes.
He was like, he gave us these wristbands that say, they say NBL, which apparently stands
for nothing but love.
And I guess the whole thing is that if you, it's like a pay it forward thing.
You wear this nothing but love.
It's like branded content for nothing but love, but it's not.
It's just the thing that happened to us.
Have you noticed mine's off?
Yeah, you took yours off.
My hand turned blue.
I'm not a bracelet guy.
They don't usually fit around my wrist.
But that guy was so, so, he was like just hammered and he was responsible for the bar.
It was crazy.
Yeah.
He should lose his license.
Also, Carl, you played a little eight ball with our buddy Yousong.
Yeah.
So Yousong recruited me to be on his pool team.
I immediately went over and hit the eight ball in first hit.
I'm glad we weren't using actual money to gamble.
You forgot about the guy who was singing the insanely good R&B version of Hey There Delilah.
Oh, that guy ruled.
That guy was so fucking good.
I put it in my story.
I had to exchange Instagrams with this dude because I'm like, you sang the shit out of that song.
He was like, America's Got Talent Good.
Yeah.
He was so good.
You got to get out of Huntsville.
You got to come to Nashville.
I hear his music city.
Yousong was so excited to play pool that you thought, I thought he was like a, we thought
he was a pool hustler.
I was convinced he was a pool shark.
And he wasn't at all.
Not at all.
I think he was just okay at pool.
Just a pool enthusiast.
Yeah.
I told you this guys, my grandpa said, never play pool with a farmer.
I don't know if that's a saying or if that's just a thing he said.
But he said, never play pool with a farmer.
Everyone is shaking their head, no.
Okay.
My grandpa was just an odd man.
This is not the one that walked in front of a train.
No, that was several, that was a few generations before.
Okay.
He was dealing with some stuff.
Also, I plan to follow in his footsteps.
My grandpa, his logic was that farmers are indoors during the winter playing pool.
And so they're really good at it.
So you're always going to get hustled by a farmer at the old billiards hall.
Yeah.
Well.
That's some logic to it.
But beyond that, we were on the road.
But chronologically, the chain we're reviewing tonight was actually basically the first thing
we did when we landed because we flew into Nashville.
We went to this restaurant.
We drove down to Huntsville.
We hit up Waffle House the next day and we reviewed Waffle House.
By the way, Waffle House, I could not have been more impressed with Waffle House.
It was great.
Just a fucking, holy shit, it's good.
It's really good.
It is.
And my expectations were just like, OK, we'll see what this place has.
And it blew me away.
How is it so good and so cheap?
It's really good.
It's just like, it's so good at what it does.
It almost got a perfect score except Molasses Boy ruined everything.
Molasses Boy poisoned it.
Poisoned the well.
But the first thing we did, we landed, we went to Hattie Bees, which hasn't been around for that long.
It was founded in 2012.
We went to the Melrose location right here in Nashville, which is not the original,
but I think is one of the original three.
And we all, it's like a, let's start here.
Fried chicken, one of the most loved of foods I feel like universally.
People love fried chicken.
How do you guys feel beyond the hot chicken varietal?
How do you both feel about fried chicken?
Is it something that you treasure, that you love?
Is it something that you tolerate?
What do you guys think?
I personally don't care for it.
I'm kidding.
I love it.
To death, I'll kill her.
I'll kill for it.
I only like wings.
I'm a wing guy.
Only wings?
Yeah.
So anytime I go anywhere they have fried chicken, I request that I only get wings.
Right.
Thighs, too much fat.
Breasts, too much meat.
Yes.
I like wings.
Just right, baby.
Do you like wings or flats?
Oh, flats.
Or drumettes or flats.
Flats.
I'm all flat.
If I go to Wingstop or somewhere that serves wingettes like that.
Yes.
I go all flats.
Yeah, flats are great.
Flats are the thinking man's wing.
Yeah.
Drumette a little bit more accessible.
He knows that I like drums, you asshole.
Drums are also good, but you get a little both.
Hey, you listen to dope boys, you get one flat and one drum.
You asshole.
What?
You said that's like, it's accessible.
It's fun.
People like you.
You're full of, you asshole.
It's true.
Say what you said.
I'm the thinking man.
Don't play pool against the farmer.
You suck.
I was trying to be nice to you.
You think about shit.
You think about stinky shit all the time.
I live in the moment, baby.
Mitch, say what you say in the green room, which I should note that my wife agreed with.
Go ahead.
You can say it because I forget most of it.
Mitch said, Mitch said that he is the star of dope boys.
Natalie also agreed that you were like dull.
She was going.
She was like, yeah, he's born.
Yeah, like you were like roasted me for being boring.
Yeah.
You're right.
I don't know.
I'm just there in the middle like, oh, this is not good.
Look, I don't know what she's getting out of this.
Don't ask me.
But yeah, it's, I agree with the assessment because you are so likable.
I was trying to say, I'm not trying to.
Keep it going.
You're a likable man.
People want to be, this was something that one of our friends said in the green room is that people,
maybe people sometimes see themselves in me, but they want to be friends with you.
And I think that's true.
I think you're, you're, and you're a better person to be friends with than me.
If you guys are like Wagga, you're not going to be my friend.
I'm sorry.
I was kidding when I said I'm the star of dope boys.
You know who the star of dope boys is?
The listeners.
God, I'm not pandering.
The listeners of the stars.
It's like when Time Magazine put a mirror on their cover to give person of the year to you.
Jesus Christ.
You know, we, we were on the run.
Oh, wait, you got something going.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm just, I'm transfixed by this picture.
Jeff Foxworthy.
Yes.
We're, he looks great.
Hold on a second.
He's got a huge round of applause.
Yeah.
I mean, I like him too.
There's another mullet in the backup there.
And I think that's killer bees.
Is that killer bees?
That's tight.
Y'all should start doing mullets again.
Wait, the one in the back, are they all just, it looks like they're all Jeff Foxworthy.
This Jeff Foxworthy one looks like there's a spotlight on it.
It looks like, it looks like it very much is standing out.
It does.
It has a little spot, it has a little spotlight on it.
Here's the one I like.
And this is closest to the, to the stage side here.
There's Tim, the tool man, Taylor.
Oh, what's happening here?
He's holding a drill like James Bond holding a gun.
It's fucking awesome.
Paul Rodriguez in the middle.
Oh yeah, Paul.
I didn't know it was with his hair.
That's crazy hair.
Right.
He's got that big bouffant.
I, I got, I got to watch a Tim Allen special when I was a kid because we liked home improvement.
And so by the time, but Tim Allen used to be like a very raunchy comedian.
And it's like, it's like Bob Saget.
He's like doing his raunchy stuff.
So he's like telling a bunch of like dick jokes and stuff.
And I was just, I was scandalized.
Did you ever see any Tim Allen stand up?
It's racy.
I didn't see too much.
But one thing I do know, this is weird that he has the power drill.
He never brings a power drill out on stage.
So that's a home improvement thing.
Yeah, right.
They have a picture of home improvement on their wall for the comedy club.
That's bizarre.
Tim is the character, but it's a tribute to his, his career success.
Maybe he, you know,
He's teaching the power drill is strange.
Tim.
Well, people do not like it.
Everyone is on Tim, Tim, the two man Taylor side.
You got to respect that drill.
He wouldn't be nothing without that drill.
So we went to the Melrose location in Nashville.
Can I just say,
Yes, please.
Touring should be so much more fun.
What are you talking about?
We're just like driving by.
Like there's like the Jack Daniels distillery or whatever.
Oh, you're gonna bring in the set book.
And then the Walker is like, yeah, yeah, yeah, we can't, we can't go to it.
And I'm like, all right.
Yeah, I guess we can't.
We just don't do, we can't do anything.
We had to.
It was like Davey Crockett Hill or something.
We should have looked at Davey Crockett Hill for a moment.
Davey Crockett's real.
He's real.
And he's a famous Tennessean.
What the hell did he do?
He's got that song.
He wore that, uh, wore that fucking hat, that cool hat.
That's it?
The hat with the tail.
You got famous for wearing the fucking hat.
Coonskin hat.
Mitch, Mitch counted over 15 dead armadillos on the way here.
Yeah, what the hell's going on?
And so I, I Googled like, what's going on with all these damn armadillos in Tennessee?
Right.
And apparently they give you leprosy, so I won't touch them.
Yeah.
Why is your leprosy down?
What's going on down here?
We're nearing the apocalypse.
It's an apocalyptic time to be alive.
Just the world keeps, it keeps getting more and more insane.
And yeah, you've got armadillos infected with leprosy that you can stumble upon on the road.
Okay.
Anyways, back to Hattie Bees.
We'll put you in a good mind frame.
Uh, but we, yeah.
So yeah, we didn't have time to go to the Jack Daniels distillery.
We had to make our tech corrosion.
We didn't do anything.
We're going to go, we're going to go to Broadway tonight.
How do we not do anything?
You're going to line dance tonight.
Is that a thing?
I'd do that.
So we, uh, we went to the Melrose, we went, we went to the, uh, uh, Melrose location.
I've said this like eight times at this point, uh, but just to reset myself, you get the plate
with the, uh, the plate comes with two sides, bread and pickles.
Let's start with those pickles, which I thought were pretty nice.
They're not, they're not too sweet.
They just got a little bit of a vinegary brine to them.
Do they got a little dusting of the saw?
Like the, of like, there's red on them, right?
There's a little dusting of something.
Right.
Seasoned up.
It's seasoned.
All right.
It's a little seasoned.
Yeah.
But it's not like spicy.
Um, and yeah, just, just pretty much a plain old white bread it's, it's thrown on top of.
Uh, so I got the, I went at the large dark.
Uh, uh, I, uh, I like dark meat.
I got, you get two leg and thigh quarters and it's big.
It's a lot of stuff.
So here you get a bunch of different hot settings.
There's something to, because the one, the setting I got was damn hot, but the one, the
one above it is called shut the clock up.
Then that's the hottest one they offer.
Yes.
I'm just not sure how I feel about these names.
Oh God.
Like I get, they're kind of fun and they're in the spirit of like it's like we're, we're
conflating, uh, the heat intensity with, uh, profanity, you know, shut the clock, clock
up.
That's clearly a pun on a foul word.
Uh, but say fuck you weirdo.
It's a pun.
It's a pun on fuck.
Um, but the, but I don't know.
Like, do you guys, do you guys okay with it?
I guess I'm just kind of, I should be more neutral on the names because who are they hurting?
I have to rename them.
Should we rename them?
Yeah, I should maybe rename them.
Okay.
So the level, the lowest level, uh, is like, relax, just have some food.
Okay.
The next level is like, look, man, I get it.
The next level is like, okay.
And then the next level is a man quit playing.
And then a level after that is like, I'm about to beat your ass.
Seems tough ordering that one.
Is there one more after that?
Let's go.
Hey man, I'm about to go to the trunk.
You better be going when I get back.
My gun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You wait like, you wait like five seconds and add to get my gun.
In case it wasn't clear.
Cause they're confused.
Yeah.
Go to your trunk to do, get luggage.
So, uh, damn hot is their second hottest level.
And then, uh, shut the clock up is their hottest.
Uh, what, what a heat intensity do you guys get and, and, and what bird configuration?
Carla, you, you mentioned you're a wing fan.
I know you went with the wings.
So my bird configuration.
My bird configuration was three wings, uh, all laid on top of each other like so.
And I love that I set myself up to be roasted just by someone repeating what I said verbatim.
In uniformed order as so.
Um, I got them, I got them hot cause I know my limits.
Right.
Hot, hot.
The third hot.
Cause I, you know, my thing is this.
Yes.
I'm ordering food.
Right.
Food is to be tasted.
To be enjoyed.
There's seasoning on this thing.
I want to, I want to get a little spice.
Yeah.
I want to, hey man, quit playing.
But usually when somebody's playing with you, you get past and go, all right.
Right.
Right.
Like that's what it was.
That's what I feel like is a good balance.
I got, I got the hot.
I didn't get into it.
Which is like, all right, man, what you doing?
Yes.
And then, all right, but we cool though.
No, I, I agree with you and, and, and I'll say it at this point cause I've been to,
we've done enough of these shows.
I know people are waiting for it.
I am something of a heat seeker.
Oh my God.
Oh, there's some booze at least.
Like Mitch earlier, I am not pandering.
So, uh, but I like you.
Yes.
Like you, Carl.
Like the reason I went the damn hot instead of the shut the clock up is because I feel
like the hottest, what was that?
He's mad.
You didn't get the shut the clock up.
Which we did.
We did get that.
The reason I didn't do that for my main portion is that I, I find like the, those, that eating
contest hot to be unpleasant as like a meal.
It's just like, like, I get it, but like, and I get what you're going for and I can tolerate
it, but I just rather have something where I can enjoy the flavor of what I'm, I'm eating
a little bit more.
But you also went with hot and you're someone who you've been trying.
You had to unfortunately mute the amount of spicy food you've had.
Yes.
That's true.
Yeah.
Which I know you love it.
It's a bummer.
I ordered a large white and the lady behind the car, I think thought I was describing
myself.
Large white.
She's like, yeah, I know.
But what do you want to eat?
Large white hot.
That she knew.
She's always not describing himself.
I got a large white hot.
I, uh, my stomach hurt a lot on this trip.
Yeah.
Uh, I, I, I, I wish that I went like medium or mild.
Yeah.
I, I, it's been three days, guys.
I, I, I took doke a lax last night.
Yeah.
I was in the bathroom and Alan McLeod molasses boy slid them under the bathroom door.
Right.
Um, so yeah, you can really feel the hot.
You can, you can feel it come in.
It's true.
It just is true.
I know it's gross.
It's true.
You feel it.
But it's true.
Yeah.
I think that had to be the bee and had to be stands for bathroom bound.
Cause that's, I, I, it was, it was, I, I, I love the taste.
I think the hot was the right level.
I think it was enjoyable, but it would, but it afterwards it was, it was hard to deal
with.
It's legitimately hot.
And I think that's the thing to know if you're a how do you be as Neo fight is that a lot
of times of these chain at chain restaurants, hot is not that, not all that hot.
Like, you know, the hot sauce, you'll get it like a, a del taco or taco bell is like
not that hot.
Yeah.
Um, and, but, but here hot actually means hot and anything above that is, is something
of a challenge.
Uh, but, uh, but Carl, what did you get?
Let's talk about it.
What did you guys think of the chicken?
What did you guys think of beyond the heat intensity?
How did that work for you?
Um, I, I felt that I got the right heat intensity.
I was able to taste how seasoned the chicken was.
It was juicy.
Very juicy.
It was good.
Uh, both parts of it, if we can just join together, the drum and the flat part of my chicken
configuration were good.
They were, it was juicy.
It was good.
I got a little spice.
Yeah.
Uh, had it be.
Let me know what's up.
Right.
And, uh, yeah, I enjoyed that.
I thought it was really good too.
And it was, it was for a big breast.
It was, uh, Jesus, why are we getting nervous saying that for a big breast?
It was juicy.
Right.
That was fine.
That was a good thing to say.
God, I'm going to fucking live with my mom soon.
It's just going to happen.
I'm going to go home and live in my mom's basement and be one of those guys.
Right.
A cautionary tale.
I was like, there he is.
He's shoveling again.
You know, like that's when they'll see me outside like low on the lawn.
Like he doesn't like go out much, but you'll see him raking the lawn occasionally.
There's no leaves out there.
Just doing it.
What happened to him, dad?
Well, son, he was canceled.
He got in front of a crowd and said, big, juicy, white bricks.
Can you cancel for that?
Can you?
Fuck.
Guys, when you get your phones out of the Yonder's, check if Mitch is canceled.
Because we're going to know very quickly.
Please don't start a hashtag.
Mitch is canceled.
Please throw the fucking Yonder bags away.
No one gets their phone back.
There's all these pieces of art and a headshots of comedians on the walls here at Zany's and
a lot of them have just like red X's over them indicating they've been canceled.
It's interesting.
But yeah, I agree with the, I agree that the, it was, the juiciness was what stood out to
me, like a good Christmas to a good crunch, good crackle to that skin, good juiciness.
And I thought the damn hot was the right intensity for me.
I thought, we'll talk about the shut the clock up in a second.
But I, for the, I thought, I prefer dark meat because I think it tends to have more moisture.
And, and I thought these really delivered.
And Mitch, you were, you're overall happy with yours.
Yeah.
The, the, the white meat was still, it was still, it was, as I said, it was a juicy breast.
Right.
And we also got the, so the shut the clock up one, their hottest intensity, we got the,
and it says, the disclaimer it says is burn notice underneath.
And just my favorite show.
Yeah, you're a fanatic.
You brought the DVD box set, which was a bold move.
We, we got a tender of that just to try it.
And I just thought like, I, I had it and I get it, but it's that like, that dry rub,
like that's, that's a spice heat.
I went back for a couple of bites of it.
And I think that is why I'm in the state I'm in right now.
That definitely, that bite of the, that bite and a half I had of the shut the clock up,
definitely debilitated me more than the damn hot, even though it's one ladder rung up,
it's actually, it's more like five rungs.
It's like, it's like, feels like a real escalation in terms of heat intensity.
I would just like to, to praise you for a second.
Yes.
Nick ate that tinder, the shut the clock up tinder.
Did we get to that?
Yes.
That's what we're talking about.
Yeah.
That's fine.
You shouldn't be, you shouldn't pay attention to the show, honestly.
You're right.
I'm still looking at Jeff Fox, where he's mullet.
But no, he, he took that thing like a champ didn't make a face.
So he'd see good.
He is a heat seeker.
I'm telling you, because hold on a second.
Have you bet?
He doesn't react to anything.
That's true.
That's something to react to.
And you, Mitch didn't react either.
His reaction came for the rest of this trip.
It's been bad.
But yes, like he just like ate it and wrote down some notes for y'all.
It's true.
So praise, praise your king.
Do you ever feel like that?
Do you ever feel like you are filled with liquid?
Do you ever feel like a water balloon?
I do.
I get that feel like a, like a, me and Natalie will say, you know, like a water jug.
You feel like you're just sort of slushing around.
I feel like I feel like a water, the last three days I felt like a water balloon.
Right.
Like you just like you, some office drones would stand around you and have a conversation
about must see TV.
Yes.
Yeah.
For sure.
It's bad.
Yeah.
Definitely.
I like, I know that feeling.
I have that a lot.
I actually, I, and it hasn't been as visceral as yours.
And I certainly haven't broadcasted it to the same degree.
I haven't talked about it for 10 minutes at two, at two shows in a row.
It's all the material I have.
I've also had some intestinal distress, partly as a result of that, partly as a result of
the waffle house, partly as a result of the heroic amount of drinking we did.
You had two white wines once again.
It's a lot.
Heroic.
Heroic.
But yeah, it's, it's, it definitely has an impact on your, on your tum tum.
And, um, and that lingers a little bit.
And what is there a level at how to be as you can order that it's like still gives you
the experience and doesn't destroy you physically.
No.
No.
Okay.
All right.
What would that be?
Who wants that?
Hot chicken.
Yes.
I do.
I want the old duels of hot chicken.
That's perfect.
Uh, let's talk sides a little bit.
So I went with the, uh, the southern greens and the red skin, uh, potato salad.
I'm a huge potato, potato salad fan.
In fact, at one of these live shows, someone put me on the spot and asked me to name my
like Mount Potato More, what were my favorite four potato preparations were.
And I omitted potato salad and that was a mistake.
I would definitely have potato salad up there.
I love it.
I love it.
I love this stuff.
And this was a good potato salad.
Thank God you corrected your Mount Potato More.
I know people were worried about it.
Hey, I almost got canceled.
Um, and.
Oh my God.
But this was actually probably the best, the single best cooling agent of all of the
things that we had in front of us.
Like I think that was the most effective thing at cooling down the burn when I, when I
needed a little bit of an, an oasis to visit.
Um, and, and the greens, I thought were nice and that they were flavorful.
They were kind of, you know, uh, they were moist in a nice way.
Uh, what, what sides did you guys go with and how, what was your assessment?
Um, I went with the pimento mac and cheese and.
Wow.
Uh, you know, the, so when I was younger, my, my aunt used to eat pimento cheese.
Yes.
And it was the most disgusting thing.
Wow.
And, but now I feel like I'm like maturing.
My palate is maturing because I really enjoyed the pimento mac and cheese that I got.
Wow.
What's so gross about it?
What's wrong with pimento cheese?
It was just something that has a five year old like sitting with my aunt watching matlock.
It just wasn't, it wasn't the snack that I wanted.
All right, that's fair.
She would also eat this stuff called a hog head cheese.
Yeah.
Uh, y'all know what that is?
That's basically the head of a pig ground up into a gelatinous loaf.
Oh yeah.
And they call it Jesus Christ.
Hog head cheese.
Throw some stuff away.
Nope.
Not in Mississippi.
I've had, I've had cheese in the context.
I've had it like on Bon Mise and it's, I actually, I like it a lot.
It's like, it's, it's good and it's fatty, but I think it has to be in the, the, I don't
know if I'd like it on its own.
She would eat it with premium crackers.
Just the saltine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, and I got the potato salad.
Not my favorite potato salad.
Right.
I gotta be honest.
It was, I agree with you that it was a cooling agent after.
Yeah.
I'd characterize it as solid.
Like it's like a good potato salad.
It's fine.
It was fine.
I could have used, you know, if they, if they season in the pickles and season the other
stuff, they could have seasoned that potato salad a little bit more.
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
I did the pimento mac and cheese as well.
And I did the baked beans and also a side of rice.
I went all out.
Crinkle cut we should know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The pimento mac and cheese I thought was great.
Yes.
And the baked beans I thought were great.
And then the fries were good, but they were a little cool.
Right.
That's it.
Yeah.
But it was good.
There was like a meaty taste to the baked beans.
That was really good.
I stole a couple of your fries.
I found them unimpressive.
Um, I didn't have the baked beans, which I love baked beans.
You don't usually like fries as we know.
I love fries.
I'm a big fan of fries.
I like crinkle cut.
That's one of my favorite ways of doing it.
They do it at like that at Del Taco at Shake Shack.
It's nice.
Um, but, uh, but they were fine.
They were fine.
Maybe that's like kind of the overall, and I'm stealing your assessment, Carl, but I
think the overall maybe characterization of the sides is like fine.
Right.
Like they do.
I thought they were good.
Find a good.
They're in that find a good sort of spectrum.
There's a, we were talking about gusses.
We went to gusses in Los Angeles.
Yes.
Gusses.
Oh, Gus.
Is it down here?
Is it started?
Did it start down here?
I think it's where it's starting.
At Memphis.
Oh, okay.
It's been franchised a little bit more.
It's a little bit more expanded across the US.
I thought that the sides, uh, Tattie B's were better than the sides at Gus's.
I, I think that's probably true.
And I definitely would agree with that in terms of the desserts, uh, which I think we're,
we're better here than, I mean, they have, they have pies at Gus's.
Yeah.
But here that we had the peach cobbler and the banana pudding, um, which I thought we
were both, I thought, I thought those were both like a lot of fun.
I thought those were both good.
A lot of fun.
Were they fun?
Even people in the audience were like, what?
Didn't you have fun eating them?
And isn't that the point of eating an indulgent meal?
Yes.
Okay.
Good.
I had fun eating that.
Right.
So we, we, we got the, uh, it was the whole atmosphere of just being away from home.
Right.
And you know, this, we got off the plane and went straight to Hattie B.
Yes.
Right across the street here.
And, uh, we got, after we had eaten all of our food, um, we got the peach cobbler and
it had ice cream on it.
Ice cream that they put on it was damn good.
The ice cream is really good.
Is that Bluebell?
You thought it was Bluebell.
I thought it was Bluebell.
It's not?
It's not.
What is it?
Housemade.
Housemade.
Wow.
Damn.
Hattie B's need to sell that.
There's a lot of.
By the way, the discipline, discipline were, uh, displayed collectively by the audience
of everyone to sit back and just let one person who knew answer was amazing to see.
You guys got manners down here.
We need more of that in this country.
I got nervous.
I started eating this orange slice and I realized how crazy it was to be eating this
during a live show.
You're eating your garnish from your cocktail.
You're supposed to, are you supposed to eat the garnish?
I eat the garnish.
Yeah, you can do that.
That's fine.
Do you people eat the garnish?
Yes.
There's one server standing back there like, I wouldn't eat that.
It's a yo mama juice.
Isn't that funny?
That is funny.
No.
It's a, it's a comedy club.
You gotta, you gotta have some fun with the cocktails, um, look, I did some punch up
on the cocktail menu.
I came up with the yo mama juice.
I was pretty proud of it.
Only work I've had so far this year.
Um, so the, uh, I thought the, I kind of maybe might give the slight edge to that banana
pudding of these two, although the ice cream you noted that peach cobbler was really good.
Did you guys have a preference?
So what did you think about these?
Um, I ate, because we got size to go and we drove them back to Huntsville.
Yeah.
We had two desserts there and then we got two additional ones that we toted back to where
we were at Huntsville.
And after, after we can't, after we got home last night, real late, we decided to crack
those open.
Right.
And, uh, those bananas did not hold up.
Oh, that's a bummer.
I do not like a old banana.
No.
No.
I need my banana to be damn near green.
I don't like a soft, spotty, but no.
Right.
And that's what it was.
Well, I was drunk.
We just gave it to me eight at all.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I took two bites.
I was like, here, Alan, eat this.
It was good.
Took them six hours to get through a four ounce portion.
So slow.
The peach cobbler held up.
Yeah.
Okay.
The peach cobbler was really, really good at the restaurant.
It was great.
It was good.
Yeah.
It was nice and hot.
Yeah.
It was so warm that that, that, uh, that ice cream was like just turning into slush,
like so quickly and melted really, really fast.
Yeah.
But yeah, they're both good desserts.
Um, and then cocktail wise or drink wise, uh, I got the, uh, we ended up getting some,
some adult beverages.
I got, we got the birdie and then you, uh, Carl, you got the frozen bourbon and coke.
I don't remember what that was called.
Um, but the, uh, the birdie was like a, a kind of a, a boozed up Arnold Palmer.
Yes.
And a slushy form.
I forget how many slushies there are in the South.
That's like a big thing, like the alcoholic slushy.
It's, it's kind of what you don't see as much.
You see it at some places, but it's kind of like omnipresent here.
Because it's hot.
It's hot.
Yeah.
You're right.
Yeah.
And they're, everyone's drunk.
It's a good combo.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You make a, a, a, a smoothie into like a booze delivery mechanism, uh, uniquely like, uh,
the influence of alcoholism is strong in that.
Um, I, I like the, uh, I, I like my drink.
I thought it was great.
I thought it delivered on tasting like an Arnold Palmer and then having a little bit
of a punch to it.
Did you order that because you thought it was called youngling?
Come on.
I'll take one of your younglings, please.
Uh, okay, sir.
And also I'll have a beer to go with that.
Whatever is fine.
Boy, the 40 minutes from when I made that flub to when you came up with that, your brain
just like operating like the spinning rainbow wheel on the Mac OS trying to come up with
something.
They got me.
Um, yeah.
Got you.
What did you guys think of your cocktails?
Uh, so I got the frozen bourbon and coke.
I think when I'm drinking a whiskey coke or something like that, I think the, the fizz
of the coke helps to drink for sure.
And so that was, that was absent in this and it just turned into just like a sweet mess
because they, I guess they have to add sugar to it or whatever.
And, uh, I had to decide like, do I finish this and do these desserts or do I keep my
foot?
And so I got through about half of it and then I was like, I'ma go ahead and eat this
dessert.
Right.
Yeah.
Uh, as you heard when I came on stage, I got fucking metallic feet.
I go, I finished the sweet stuff.
No matter what, uh, I did, I did the birdie and I liked the birdie a lot.
Yeah.
I was the driver though.
Uh, right.
So, uh, so I had one of them and that was it.
And I couldn't, I mean, I couldn't drink anymore.
I wanted another.
I wanted more.
I liked it a lot.
You accepted admirable restraint.
Yeah.
Didn't you?
Wait.
Did you also get a regular lemonade afterwards?
I did get a regular.
How did that, how did that stand up?
It was great.
I thought the regular lemonade wasn't too like what's not super sweet, but it's, but
it's great.
It's a good lemonade.
Right.
Yeah.
Had a good citrus to it.
Yeah.
Do you guys, we, we talked about this a little bit in the car, but where do you guys lean
on the, cause you kind of got the lemonade.
You kind of got the sweet tea as your, as your Southern beverages, beverage options.
Which one do you go with?
Uh, I'm a sweet tea guy and I put lemon in it.
Sweet tea with lemon.
Okay.
I go lemonade.
I'm sorry, everybody.
You don't need to apologize.
I know.
I can feel like they're probably mad at me.
I don't know.
No, they're fine.
All right.
Yeah.
Someone, someone did boo.
I do.
I do.
I'm a lemonade guy.
Like Newman himself.
Like Paul Newman.
Yeah.
Newman, Paul Newman, Newman's own.
He likes lemonade.
Newman.
Newman likes lemonade.
Wait.
Come on.
Someone.
I thought that was, I thought that was salad dressing.
He likes salad dressing too.
He also likes popcorn.
He's got a lot going on.
He likes a lot of foods.
He makes a lot of foods.
Uh, the, when you just say Newman, I think people think of the Seinfeld character.
I think that's the issue.
You got to say Paul Newman.
So people will think of the, uh, watch classic films.
You.
Why did you bail on that?
I suck.
You're fine.
No, I suck.
I'm just shit the entire vacation.
It's not fun.
You're doing great.
You songs getting afraid of bugs.
We shouldn't leave our home state.
He took one bite of his hot chicken, then ate like 30 pickles afterwards.
You song, by the way, a guy sat down at our table and had to make America great hat icon
again.
Oh yeah.
That was weird.
It's the truth.
Right.
Yeah.
We did.
I did a hat swap with him.
He's wearing a Patriots hat somewhere and it still fits.
Why did he sit right at our table?
He sat like right near us.
He's one of my fans.
He's a real big fan of the chief.
Yeah, we were worried about that he was going to say something problematic, but he just
threw a gum shoe.
All right, well, let's get to our review of Hattie B's.
Carl, we reviewed Waffle House yesterday.
You know how this works.
We will each go around, give a summation of our thoughts, and give this a rating from
zero to five forks.
You are our guest.
We'll begin with you.
Okay.
When I first walked in, my eyes were caught by a red hat with white leather ring on it.
It wasn't the gentleman we were just talking about.
It was this one.
I knew that I wanted one.
I ordered my food.
I got to give my praises to Ms. Hattie, whoever that may be, whoever those two white guys
made up.
Whoever this woman is, I've enjoyed my food.
I know my own limits, so I got the spice level that I wanted.
I love the pimento mac and cheese.
I did not love my potato salad.
I'm sorry.
The bourbon and coke was a little bit too sweet for me, but the desserts came through
in the clutch and pulled off.
I'm going to go ahead and give this four forks.
Four forks.
Very good score.
Wow.
Spoon Man, your thoughts.
Oh, man.
I can't blame Hattie B's that my stomach hurt all weekend or all week.
It's not the weekend.
I didn't even know what month it was today.
It's Thursday.
I know.
We're in April.
And I said, what's today's date?
And they were like, and I forget what date is already the seventh.
It's the 11th.
The 11th.
Whatever.
7-eleven.
Yeah.
It makes sense.
That mistake makes sense.
And then I was like, she said the 11th and I was like, what month is it?
And they were like, what the hell's wrong with you?
It's April.
It's April.
April 7th.
That's when we flew in?
No, wait.
It's Thursday.
Oh, fuck.
I don't know.
It's two days earlier.
I had to go to the bathroom when I landed in Tennessee.
Yeah.
And I never went.
And I kind of blame you guys for that.
Why didn't you go when we landed?
I don't know.
I should have.
You told me to go get the rental car.
You can't miss that window.
I was saying you have to get it right now.
It seemed like I had to.
You shouldn't be afraid of me.
Is that the problem with...
Is that the problem with one of the problems with our working relationship?
Yes.
Why are you afraid of me?
You look like Jeffrey Dahmer.
And if you're a serial killer and you become a guy who like eats people, I'm the one of
the biggest catches you can have, baby.
I'd be the first serial killer with no charisma.
Police confused as to how he learned his victims, not charming.
You meet him at a place, you start talking and just go, shit, this dude about to kill
me.
Yeah.
Let me get out of here.
I thought I could sing a country song and do my review, but I don't, I can't do that.
No, I...
I can't.
No, no, no.
I didn't want you to cheer me into it.
I'm telling you, I can't do that.
Oh, well.
Hattie bees, oh, Hattie bees.
You got me down on my knees, saying to the Lord, please, oh please, won't you cool off
my old ass?
You got real nice sides and a Trump guy, Pimento mac and cheese.
But every time I go to Hattie Bees, I know they're gonna please.
Five forks.
Five forks, aye.
The last line of that song was dog shit.
Oh, wow.
Nick also agreed backstage that he'd do a cunt if we'd never talked about this.
Jesus, there's your papa the night.
I can't follow that.
I don't have a song.
I'll just say that I liked it and I think this was, I liked it.
It's good.
It's a good...
I've had hot chicken a few different ways at this point and, you know, I know it's Nashville's
own night.
I love it.
Fried chicken plus spice.
It's delightful.
It's a combination of two of my favorite things.
It's a fucking great dish and I think this is a good execution of it and I think they've
done a good job of scaling it up in chain form.
Natalie's had it in Vegas and said it was good.
I think this is not quite a five forker, but I think this definitely deserves four forks
and I'm going to say welcome to the Golden Plate Club, Hattie Bees, for a good execution.
Well deserved.
Of hot chicken, Nashville's own.
And guys, that was our review of Hattie Bees, which means it's time for our segment.
We thought we were going to get yelled at that people were going to be like, princes
or something.
Well, yeah, this is the thing.
We wanted to go to Prince, but apparently it's, well, I don't know if it's Prince or
Princess.
Princess, okay.
I apologize.
It's in my intro.
I should remember.
Dumbass.
We wanted to go to Princess, but apparently a car crashed through it and it's like closed
right now.
And then was that like a move against us?
A car crashed through it.
Yeah.
It was it's it's it's not open right now.
And then Boltons, we had the we were thinking, Natalie and I were thinking about going to
tonight, but I couldn't fucking do my stomach is just all I had was Waffle House and Hattie
Bees and Sonic.
My stomach is so like, I just don't know how people are able to eat meals like this all
the time.
Easy.
I mean, it was delicious, but it just like it made me feel so bad.
I had to get like something lighter.
Maybe I'll slide those doke-a-laxes under your door tonight.
That was our view of Hattie Bees.
People were grossed out.
It's time for us.
It's hard to eat the fucking hot chicken.
It's hard.
It is.
You're paying for it later.
Folks, I touched my penis.
I remember this.
We didn't talk about that.
Yeah, we did talk about that.
Also that's that's the thing you say to me just generally after you use the restroom.
And so I was like, yeah, okay, yeah, you've told said me told this to me a hundred times
by this point.
What's unusual about this one?
We were said that every time we saw a dead armadillo today.
You had you had some hot hot spices on your hand.
I went to the bathroom.
I used two wet naps.
I went to the bathroom.
I touched my penis, which is already so afraid of the world.
And I touched it.
I got out of the bathroom like, hmm, my penis is burning.
And I just started sweating and it fucking burned like crazy.
Did you can I can I since you've already been quite graphic tonight?
Was it were there like your rethral contact?
I guess so.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
It was the tip of my penis.
Oh, man.
So I got I grabbed the dessert, the ice cream, I went to the bathroom, I I fucked the ice
cream.
Like you needed an excuse.
Yeah, no, it really burned.
Watch yourselves.
Yeah, be careful.
Just yeah, watch yourselves.
But yeah, eyes as well, just and nostrils, it can it can be as you guys know this.
That's for that's for that's for our listeners in general, who maybe don't live right here
in Nashville.
But folks, we got to get to our segment.
I've got a mystery drink in our panel.
Must guess what it is.
It's the Weiger challenge.
Oh, no, this is what the fuck was that?
We have a little stinger, but he might cast and he made us a Weiger challenge.
Oh, played it.
Don't listen to the podcast and to join us for this battle of taste buds, please welcome
from your Kickstarter sucks and go off, Kings, Nashville's own Jesse Farrar.
I'm an ass man.
Yeah, I'm an ass man.
Wow, Jesse, thank you for joining us, walking out to ass man, ass man.
Yeah.
And I hope you guys got your phones in the yonder bags, because we're going to we're
going to spoil.
It was for Avengers Endgame.
Did you do the bit?
We did.
We did it earlier.
We did it earlier.
Yeah.
All right.
So the what you did like the reaction to what you just said was the biggest reaction
of the three.
So it's good that you did it.
Jesse, you live you live right here in Nashville.
You lived in Tennessee your whole life, I believe.
Yeah.
How do you feel about Hot Chicken and how do you feel about Hattie Bees specifically?
Okay, so it's good.
Hot Chicken is really good.
I had some tonight.
I had Bolton's tonight.
It's right down there.
Because I drove by Hattie Bees and the line was really long.
But I think Hattie Bees is good.
It's a good thing to do.
It's the tourist version of it.
It's the good that you guys went and got the Hattie Bees version of it.
I think next time you come, you can do the real ones probably would be my real one.
Yeah.
So, so Princess and Bolton's I think are both really good.
Right.
I really like Slow Burn.
It was a little bit out of town in my Slow Burn.
And that's my favorite.
That's the chain that's based off of that podcast series about the Watergate scandal.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I get what you're saying.
What do you think beyond beyond Hot Chicken, your food favorites here in Tennessee, here
in Nashville, maybe just in Southern food in general?
Yeah.
So I think Family Style is the best way to eat Nashville food for me.
Right.
So one of my favorites is Monels.
Wow.
Wow.
What's Monels all about?
So Monels is all about its family style.
You sit down at the big table with a bunch of people you don't know and they pass you
the vegetables and you eat the vegetables and you just eat whatever they have.
So it's like going to somebody's house and you just eat what they got.
So it's fried chicken.
Right.
It's cornbread.
It's potatoes.
It's stick to your ribs food, you know, but it's like a big bench.
So you're just sitting with a bunch of strangers?
Yeah.
I feel bad for the family that draws me in that.
I went to Dollywood before, Nick.
I talked to you about this.
Dollywood was a lot of fun.
I don't know if we've talked about this on the podcast, but I told Nick that there was
a roller coaster that went into Dolly's cleavage, a big bust of Dolly's cleavage.
And Nick believed it to be true.
And I'm the dumb one.
You thought there was a roller coaster that went into her boobs.
I don't think that's an insane thing to believe.
Here's why.
Yes it is.
No, I feel like Dolly kind of embraces the kissy side of her image and an amazing singer
songwriter who's contributed a lot to American music.
And it seems to be a lovely human being from what I know.
Don't try to get applause from Dolly party.
I'm not trying.
I'm not pandering.
Neither of us is pandering.
I'm saying that she is known for being busty.
And I feel like she's kind of like traded on that.
So I thought it was plausible.
That's interesting.
Sorry.
That's really interesting.
I know her probably primarily as a philanthropist.
Wow.
But you said it was...
What did you say it was again?
She's...
People know that she is busty.
I'm not saying this is the only thing she's known for.
Tigers canceled after all.
God damn it.
Boy, I really thought I had the lowest odds of being canceled tonight.
But that's how it would shake sometimes.
So, yeah, but Monells, you're really like, what do you get there?
Like I said, you get what they give you.
Oh, okay.
So there's no...
I mean, you can definitely...
I mean, they're going to have the same sides all the time.
So you know, you like turnip greens.
You know, you like green beans.
You know, you like scallop potatoes or whatever the hell.
You can get the sides that you want to get.
But as far as, you know, when you show up, it's fried chicken.
It's meatloaf.
It's whatever they got there.
So me personally, I love a meatloaf.
So I'm a meatloaf guy, you know?
By the way, to everyone out there just talking at a normal volume,
feel free to continue.
That's fine.
That's okay.
I almost yelled at someone earlier for laughing.
I was like, who's laughing?
That's not because of us.
Cut it out.
Do you have to work a full eight hour day before you go?
Are you talking to me personally?
Like anybody who goes to this place will be like,
no, I've been at work all goddamn day.
I ain't got no time to be talking to nobody.
Put my food on the table.
No, I don't have a real job.
So to me, I go and that's like, that's my big...
That's like, I'm on.
Can I say something about Tennessee?
Yes, please.
I thought there'd be bigger people.
You guys eat heavy stuff.
I thought it'd be like Super Mario Brothers 3,
you know, the big, the giant world.
Oh yeah, the giant.
Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
I thought it would be more like that.
I'm still fucking big and sloppy here.
All right, so I thought I knew what you meant,
but when you reference the Super Mario Brothers 3 giant world,
talking about like a shy guy that's been scaled up
to four times its size.
I know shy guys aren't Super Mario Brothers 3.
Get out of my Twitter mentions.
Then why did you say shy guys?
Because they were on my mind.
Super Mario canon.
Yeah, like Goombas.
They're not like giant Goombas,
but you're not talking about like giant people.
You just mean like physically...
I thought they would be giant.
I thought they'd be big.
Yeah, I thought they'd be like Super Mario Brothers 3 giant level.
They're not.
Carl, you want to get out of here, man?
Let's go to Models.
All right, let's distribute these solo cups
you guys have in front of you.
This is Mr. Drink.
Let us know what you are seeing, what you are tasting.
Let us know.
And what you are smelling here.
It's blue.
It's blue.
It smells like vanilla.
It's a blue drink.
Carl is making a thoughtful expression.
It tastes like cotton candy?
It's not good, yeah.
Not good.
Is it cotton candy?
Oh!
I know what this is.
Carl thinks he knows exactly what it is.
I ain't going to say it right now.
I think it's some local Tennessee thing, knowing you.
Crockett juice?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know any of the local things.
Crockett juice.
That's what I'm going with.
You're going with Crockett juice?
Cotton candy flavored Crockett juice.
That's good.
That's my final answer.
That's really good, yeah.
You're locking it in.
Final answer.
You're not using any lifeline.
Another sip.
Jesse, what are you sensing from this?
Yeah, it's vanilla.
It's like a cream soda.
It's like a little cream soda kind of place.
But it's blue, so that's a curve ball right there.
As far as the coloration goes, Nick.
Yeah, it's kind of got that barbershop comb liquid sort of color to it.
Jesus.
Is that what this tastes like?
Is that what it is?
Did you give us barbicide?
Maybe.
I do forget that you could just do one of those things where you poison Kool-Aid and
kill all of us on stage.
Oh, I would never poison Carl or Jesse.
As I'm dying, I'd be like, that was tight.
Let's get some guesses.
Mitch's guest Crockett juice.
Cotton candy flavor.
Yeah.
Carl or Jesse, let us know what you're thinking here.
Yeah, I think it's blue cream soda.
Blue cream soda.
Blue cream soda.
Do you want to throw a brand out there?
You want to give us a specific?
Just going with blue cream soda.
Okay.
Carl.
As I've said, I grew up in the south.
Yes.
There are some sodas that only reach southern people.
And we drink them from a very early age and it is not good for us.
This here in this cup is Fago.
Wow.
And I want to say it's not blue raspberry, it's cotton candy flavor.
Wow.
Fago.
Can I change mine?
No, you said final answer to Crockett juice.
I want to say Fago Crockett juice.
Mitch, you have lost the Weiger challenge.
Wow.
You have won the Weiger challenge.
I knew it.
Wow.
I knew it.
100%.
100% of this bad boy.
100%.
It is Fago cotton candy flavored soda.
Wow.
When I lose, my foot is going to be my choice.
That was remarkable.
A tour de force.
Also shout out to Natalie for picking that out in the store.
Thank you Natalie for doing that.
That's a blast from the past.
She's gone.
Yeah, she got Addy.
She was in the green room with us before the show and we were like, do you want us to find
you a spot in the audience?
She was like, nah.
Did she really leave?
I think she's here, but I think she's just watching in the green room on closed circuit.
There's like a monitor there.
No, she's gone.
She really is gone?
Yeah, she peeled out in the parking lot.
She didn't even drive.
She stole someone's car?
Jesus Christ.
I want to say something.
Yeah.
Someone Twitter messaged me and said that there's going to be an ice cream truck in the back.
Whoa.
And I don't know if that's, is this just a trap?
I'm now thinking about it.
I would say when you go out back after the show, just be on the lookout for a large net.
If you see that, just don't step on it.
No, I don't know.
I heard this too.
I thought, I think it's real.
Yeah, I think there's going to be sound ice cream in the back.
I don't know.
I mean, prank it would be if it wasn't.
If it wasn't real.
Just saying there's an ice cream truck and there isn't.
Just disappointing people.
So I hope there is one.
Yes?
Yeah.
Okay, there is.
So there will be.
Okay.
That's real.
Look for that ice cream truck out there.
But yeah, so fuck, what do we do now?
Oh, I was going to say this.
This is what I was going to say.
What the hell?
I asked some Tennessee locals, including our buddy Charles Ingram, who grew up here, what's
a Tennessee drink we should get for the Weigur Challenge?
And multiple people said RC Cola, Royal Crown Cola, which I know some people like here
actually from Georgia.
But I think I guess it's, I guess people drinking Tennessee can't find it anywhere.
We went to four stores, no RC Cola, beloved in the Tennessee my ass.
You guys are full of shit.
You're frauds.
That's why we're here to call you out.
You know, it's canceled.
The people of Nashville, Tennessee.
They like it.
They liked it.
I actually, I really like RC Cola.
I used to drink it a lot.
I was like a six can a day guy at one point.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, I was fucking.
I like the cherry RC.
You got to put it in the freezer.
Let it get a little slushy.
Oh, there you go.
Six cans a day.
I was drinking way too much.
So I had to, I had to go to diet soda and I was drinking way too much of that.
And then I cut it out.
I cut out sodas for the most part entirely.
Wow.
Because the abstaining is the only way I could keep from just having fucking 400 grams of
sugar every day.
It was, it was crazy.
Jesse, do you like RC Cola?
No.
Okay.
Well, guys, that was the wiker challenge.
Just like a restaurant by your feedback.
Let's open up the feedback.
So guys, we got time for some audience questions.
Hey, you sung.
I actually didn't get a briefing on how this is working.
You're coming down here with a microphone or is there a place?
Oh, there it is.
He's way there in the back with the mic.
You sung is, you sung is waving.
Weaving his way rather.
Okay.
You sung.
Hey, you sung.
Can we also ask you what was that table all about earlier?
It was for the intro.
I was supposed to sit on the table.
It was maybe for you.
I thought you were reading something.
We'll talk about this after the show.
All right.
So you sung, you're going to be roaming and someone's going to raise your hand.
You sung is going to come over to you.
I see a hand raised right there.
It looks like you sung is making his way to you.
Let us know your name.
No, you're looking in the wrong area.
I think you're looking at someone else.
You sung is over there.
Oh, I saw someone buying a drink.
That's the interaction I saw.
I'm sorry.
You sung is over here to my right.
Let us know your name and let us know your question.
My name is Phillip.
Hi, Phillip.
Hey, Phil.
Nick, this is for you.
Where do you finish when you self suck?
Come on.
Kind of loot question is this.
I am not a man you know.
To me, you are a stranger.
That's an inappropriate thing to ask a stranger.
I'll just say this.
There's no cleanup.
All right, let's go to the next question.
Are you guys going to cut that from the...
No, we'll keep it in.
No, we'll keep it in.
Oh, we don't edit this podcast.
Hi, what's your name?
What's your question?
Hi, my name is Menchi.
Yes, like the frozen yogurt place.
Whoa, very cool.
That rules.
Yeah, if you guys had to go buy a name after a fast food establishment, what would it be?
Wait, we had to name ourselves after a fast food establishment?
Sure.
Are you saying after an item?
No, like Menchi's frozen yogurt, right?
Right, okay.
Oh, I see.
Happy Bees.
Based off your own name being Menchi, which is a place, if we had to change our own name,
not the name of our podcast, our own names, I get it.
I understand the question now.
Oh my God, dude.
I was confused.
Jesus.
She's the gears turning, man.
I wanted clarity.
No, it was a good question.
I'm just dumb.
Some people think I'm smart because I have a large vocabulary.
You can have a large vocabulary and be dumb.
And it's not even that large.
It's really small though.
Oh boy.
Well, Carl Tartt, I mean Carl Jr., Carl Tartt, it's right there.
Boy, you're not a junior.
I'm the second.
My brother's junior.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, me and all my brothers are named Carl Tartt.
I'm not joking.
Like George Foreman?
Yeah.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I did not know this.
Hey, man.
It's the South, baby.
My dad loves himself.
Let's see.
Burger King, no.
I would call myself the Waffle House.
Oh boy.
But I would have somebody like shoot me a bunch of times.
I'm full of holes.
Oh, last.
Mitch, anything come to mind?
Yeah.
You know, I was, it immediately was like Burger King is a good one.
But I think I go with heart attack grill in Vegas.
I think that's closest to me.
Yeah.
It's a, that's a tricky one.
That's a great question.
That's a thinker.
What about Jesse?
Oh, I want to know what Jesse, I do want to know what Jesse was thinking.
Oh, you do?
Yes, I do.
I was going to get to Jesse.
I'm going to blame myself after the go fuck myself restaurant.
Since that's what it is.
I just go fuck myself.
I wasn't unmitting you.
No, it's fine.
I was going to get to you.
Cut my mic.
I had a thought.
We're not cutting your mic.
You're staying up here.
I don't know.
Culver's.
I don't know.
I was going to say, I feel like I could pull out like chilies.
I feel like I could pull off being chili.
Like, I feel like that was like, you're like, like you're auras.
Chilly.
Yeah.
Like I'm like a cold man.
All right.
Another question.
You song.
Let's let's find a hand in the audience.
Let's let's get to somebody.
Swooping in over there.
Hi.
Hi.
What's your name?
What's your question?
Hey, I'm Jordan.
Hi, Jordan.
Hey, Jordan.
I was just going to ask after listening to the most recent Portillo's episode.
Yes.
Is Gabriel's okay?
I can say that we.
Jordan, are you?
Are you sitting alone at a table with a empty bucket of beers?
Oh, there's other people at your table.
Okay.
Jesus Christ.
Might have just been projection there for a second.
Davis is a very heavy drinker.
He's talking about a guy who drinks a heroic amount of alcohol.
I will say that to you a heroic amount is two glasses of wine to be clear.
Okay.
He drinks a lot more than that.
We were texting him and our friend, the great Christine Nangle, who were on that episode
together.
And Gabriel said that he doesn't remember anything about either show, except that there were
minion costumes.
That was it.
That was it.
So yeah, I guess that's my answer is, I mean, I hope so.
I hope he's okay.
But he was not doing well that night.
Another question.
You sung where I can't, I can't see where you are.
He's bouncing all over the place.
He's jumping up there.
Hey guys, my name is Will.
Hey, Will.
Wow.
Well, you got a nice country voice.
Yeah.
Thank you.
I'm from Alabama.
My question is, I've heard you guys talk a lot about the rumblies.
Yes.
Yes.
Where is the most embarrassing or worst situated place you've ever had the rumblies from?
I think I told the story on the podcast before, but for me, the worst was having to pull over.
Like I just had just talking about being full of liquid.
I just like, I had, I had diarrhea and I was, I was going to shit my pants and I had to pull
over and I, I sprinted into a quiz nose on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles.
And I just had to like, I couldn't even like order something first.
I just had to go straight, like a big, a beeline to a quiz nose bathroom.
And it was one of those like one person bathrooms with like very little privacy.
Like there was like a guy just like eating his meal on the other side.
Just like me shitting and then like a thin wall and then a guy like eating a fucking
six inch hoagie.
Jesus.
I was shitting my brains out in this fucking acoustically uncharitable bathroom.
And I felt, and sweating too, just sweating, just wet all over.
And I got out and I felt so bad that I just like bought a water and everyone was like looking
at me like knew what happened.
It was so shameful.
Man.
Anyway, maybe that's why I, maybe I'm grappling with that moment by having a podcast about
chain restaurants.
Maybe that's, that's what this is.
I didn't come to, yeah, I got one.
Yes, please.
Well, I've told the, I've told on the podcast the time I went to Burger King and I used
the, the, the, I had to use a stall that the, the handy, handy accessible stall.
Oh yes.
This was at a Burger King.
Yes.
It was in a Burger King.
Right.
And the, it was that, and that, that was, but I'll tell a different one where I went
to Lake Tahoe with for Evan Susser's bachelor party and I was driving with Jack Allison
and I was like, I gotta go to the bathroom and he was like, Oh, we'll find her.
And I was like, no, I have to go now.
Yeah.
And so I pulled over to the side of the road and I pulled down my pants and I shot shit
out of myself and I swear to God, I said this to Jack as soon as I got back to the car,
Jack was, you know, in Roger Rabbit, when the weasels laughed themselves to death, Jack
was like, and like almost, he almost laughed himself to death.
He like couldn't breathe.
He was like, he was like dying of laughter and I had my pants down around my ankles and
I waddled back over to the like a cowboy here in Nashville.
I waddled back over to the car and I took a sock and I wiped my ass with a sock and
I threw it there on the side of the road.
I was like, that sucks.
We do that.
We do that.
And then we're driving back and we're on the same road and Jack is like, you got to let
me take a picture of the sock.
And I was like, I'm not going to let you take a picture of the sock.
He's like, please.
And so we pull over to the side of the road where I did it and there's here's the sock
right here on the side of the road and there's a father and son looking out at the fucking
view standing in my fucking waist.
It's just standing in the shit right next to the shit sock.
They left.
I grabbed the sock.
No, that's it.
That was, that was, that was my worst time.
That's, that's insane.
Carl, anything on the mind?
I mean, nothing tops that.
But one time I was at this brewery in LA called the arts district brewery.
It's really cool.
And it was after a Dodger game.
And that's like where a lot of people go after the Dodger game.
And for those who know, like the Dodger fan base is majority Latino.
And so they all go to this bar and get drunk.
And I was there and I just got caught.
Like it was in me, like mid conversation.
I was like, look, it's time to go.
And I tried to see like if I could run out to get a Uber, go home.
Cause I don't live too far from there.
And I was like, I ain't going to make it.
Like I'll shit in this person's car.
And so I was like, I gotta go to the bathroom.
God damn it.
The line was long.
I had to go.
Everybody's wearing Dodger jerseys as I am now.
And I, like people were so supportive.
Cause they saw it in my eyes.
And so like I went in, got the stall.
The bathroom was broken.
Like it was impossible to hide the sound.
I sounded like I was doing Neil Perk drum solo.
And then it was got and like everything.
And everybody was just like, oh shit.
People walking in like, oh man, I got like, are you all right in there dog?
Hey, you cool?
Man, you need some water.
It was like, it was embarrassing.
When I came out, people was like, hell yeah, dog.
You feel good?
I'm good, man.
I was like, who offered to give me water?
I'm gonna buy that person a drink.
I bought him a beer, but I ain't use a sock.
Geez, Louise, bitch.
There should be, I had no other option.
There should be multiple bath.
There should be bathroom every five feet on the road.
There should be bathrooms everywhere.
I agree.
That's an issue that there should be more publicly accessible restrooms.
It's insane.
There's so many restrooms are like paywall.
Why is it so shameful?
I feel so ashamed.
It's a natural human function.
It's like a human right.
You gotta have a place to piss or shit.
The paywall bathroom.
Everybody take a big shit tonight.
Don't be proud of it.
The paywall bathroom, you can get by with enough urgency.
Right.
I walked into like a half KFC Taco Bell been like,
I need to use the bathroom.
And they're just like, unlock it.
They're just like, let me go.
They saw, they weren't trying to get trampled.
Jesse, any shit emergencies?
Hey, am I the only one here,
or is shitting shameful as hell?
What the hell?
Fuck these guys, shitting sucks.
Damn.
All right.
Wow.
He's condemning it.
All right.
We got, we got time for one more question.
Maybe two.
Maybe.
Okay.
Mitch is saying maybe two more questions.
Well, I'll defer to Mitch.
I'll say we'll take.
Where's your song?
Mitch was our second and last question.
Where is you song?
There's ice cream truck.
Okay.
He just jumped up.
Hey guys, I'm Jimmy.
Hi, how are you?
Good.
Thanks for this.
So last week, my wife and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary.
16.
Congratulations.
Wow.
She's not here.
She does not listen to your podcast.
How do you make the marriage work?
I leave her home with the kids.
Yeah.
She's got good judgment is what it sounds like.
She's not listening to no boys.
Sorry.
What's your question?
So we got engaged at a macaroni grill.
Wow.
Which you have not reviewed, correct?
That's correct.
So where of the places you've reviewed is the best place to get engaged.
Oh boy.
That's a good answer.
I mean, if you have some nostalgic connection to it, I think that's the real answer.
Whether it's Waffle House here in the south, whether it's In-N-Out Burger over on the west
coast, whether it's friendlies, what do you say?
In-N-Out Burger?
Yeah, In-N-Out.
Some people like In-N-Out Burger a lot.
Including myself.
And the drive-thru.
Where would you do it?
Inside the restaurant.
People go in there.
It's fine.
But I think of romantic places, hard to top the cheesecake factory.
Wow.
That's good.
Yeah.
I mean, that menu's pretty big.
I think it's like a cool flex.
If you know you're about to propose and you just go, get whatever you want, girl.
Turn to page 16.
Grab a Chinese chicken salad on me.
Tonight is your night.
Butch or Jesse, any thoughts on a great proposal place?
Yeah.
Mitch, this seems right up your alley.
You want to take this one?
Yeah.
I think I would go with one of the best.
I think I would go with McDonald's.
It's the king of restaurants.
That's great.
That's a good one.
My future lovely wife would open up a Big Mac.
I'd have a ring stuck right in the middle of it.
Sticking out of it.
In the scenario you're describing, I'm imagining you proposing to the grimace.
And honestly, you'd make a lovely couple.
I would.
I'd be happy.
I'd be happy with the grimace.
You could share a wardrobe.
Free McDonald's for life?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You could do a lot worse than the grimace.
All right.
One more question.
Let's have a banger right here.
You song, who are you swooping in on?
Jesse reminded me of the ice cream.
Hi, what's your name?
What's your question?
My name's Amelia.
Hi, Amelia.
Hi.
What's the food you miss the most?
Because you either can't get it anymore or you can't bring yourself to eat it.
Mine's fruit gushers.
Fruit gushers?
Why can't you eat them?
Why don't you eat them?
I don't know.
They're just so full of sugar.
I feel bad when I eat them.
Oh, my gosh.
We don't care about that.
I have an answer and it is connected to my lovely wife Natalie, which is a Coke slurpee,
which is so fucking good.
And I just can't do it anymore.
I used to get one, we used to get one together every day.
Like we got, that was like a part of like a routine.
It was, it was like going to Starbucks instead of a-
There were people, people went, ah, and, ah.
But I feel the truth about my diet.
People are horrified.
Yeah, I, we used to get that every day, like it was a cup of coffee, like just as like,
as like an after work treat.
And it's insane.
It's so much, it's so much sugar.
We eventually like looked at it.
I was like, holy shit, this is like 450 calories of just sugar.
We're putting this in our bodies every day.
And yeah, I just can't have them anymore.
But man, they are fucking great.
Those are the glory days.
Anything, you guys got any answers, Carl?
Anything you can't have anymore that you love?
Pepsi blue.
Pepsi blue.
Oh.
That was good.
Yeah.
Living on the West Coast is hard.
I miss Waffle House so much.
Man, they gotta, they gotta expand out.
I mean, I guess maybe it's good that it, we discussed it a little bit.
Maybe it's good that they don't expand out there and it is kind of a regional treat,
but it's so fucking good.
The closest one is in Phoenix, Arizona, which is still like nine hours away from us.
Right.
And I don't want no desert waffles.
Mitch, any, anything you can't have anymore?
Spicy food, Nick.
Oh yeah, spicy food.
And I'm still hurting.
So be careful on the road sides of Tennessee tonight.
Those dead armadillos are the only thing you gotta watch out for.
Might live a little, a little Mitch nest for you.
Spicy food is it.
I can't do it.
Jesse, anything you can't have anymore?
Yeah.
Carl said Pepsi blue.
Do you guys remember Coke black with the coffee in it?
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
That was good.
It was like, they sold it for like five seconds.
It was very good.
I like that a lot.
But the thing I don't let myself have is the cookout milkshake.
So summer's coming up.
They do a watermelon milkshake that it's just insane,
but you can't, you know, I'm growing up.
You can't have that.
So God, that's really good.
That sounds great.
It's amazing.
We've heard a lot about cookout.
And guess what?
We've reviewed it.
We're going to do it right now.
No, I'm kidding.
You guys want to leave.
Yeah.
We'll let you guys get out of here.
We'll let you guys claim, reclaim your phones.
But guys, thank you so much for coming up.
That's our show.
That's it for this episode.
The great Carl Dart.
Jesse Marar.
Our producer, Yu Sang Lu.
I know next time for the Spoonman, Mike Mitchell,
I'm Nick Weigher.
Happy...
Thank you.
See ya.
Bad boys are bad, bad, bad.
And you know they can never be right.
The bad boys are bad.
Do you like to do bad boys?
Who, boy?
Mitch, it's time for another edition
of the Golden Paw Club here in Mayow.
That's right.
That's right, Cat.
This is a...
We're working with the Santador Foundation
to help find lovely cats, some loving homes.
And our cat this month, our catchler, if you will.
I love it, Nick.
The catchler.
And this guy is a catch
because he is an incredible and a lovable hunk
named Dwayne The Cat Johnson.
Very handsome, very modest.
Link's Point Siamese Tomcat
has the prettiest eyes,
but he doesn't know it has the tiniest meow,
but doesn't know it.
Charming, huggable,
and the nicest cat you could ever hope to meet.
Extremely handsome little guy.
He's a charming, huggable guy, Nick.
Just a good-looking cat will put a picture up
so you don't have to trust our words.
You can see with your own eyes.
Nick, he's food and love motivated.
I'm half motivated by that there.
He has been known to find room for multiple dinners
and treats every day like a cheat day.
You got your cheat days every so often, don't you?
Yeah, sounds familiar.
With me, everything's a cheat day, baby.
By the way, I was thinking that,
you know that movie Hall Pass?
It would have been better
if instead of Hall Pass and it being a week,
if it was called Cheat Day and it was a day,
it's a better title,
and then that more compressed timeline
makes it so that they have more incentive
to these horny guys can get their hornies out.
Do you have any other movies from four years ago
you want to punch up?
Four years ago is being charitable.
We just like from like 2008.
Nick, Dwayne the Cat Johnson is a gentle giant
like your friend Mitch.
He sure is.
And hey, he's had a little tough go of it.
He's been living on Los Feliz in the streets
for around seven or eight years.
Got brought into the Santador Foundation
and he looked like he'd gotten into a fight.
He had some abscesses.
He had some medical concerns.
You should know that he is FIV positive
and but also know that most FIV cats
can live a long and healthy life
as long as you're taking precautions not to expose him
or any other FIV positive cats to kitty-colds or viruses
as their bodies have a harder time about.
Nick, even when he went through all that,
they said he was acting like an angel.
Yeah, he's a real lovable guy.
The kind of cat they can get along with everyone.
He's happy to be a part of an ensemble
but also easily be your lone cat.
You just want to have one cat around the house.
He's that versatile.
And hey, you want to meet Dwayne the Cat Johnson?
You can.
Forget Fast and Furious.
It's time for Fast and Furious.
Anyone interested in meeting this big fella in person
can come by the rescue Friday, Saturday or Sunday
from noon to 5 p.m.
3165 Los Feliz Boulevard, Los Angeles, California,
90039 or we'll put the Santador social media
up on the Dope Boys Patreon and Twitter.
Nick, there's one cat I'm going to really push for us.
It's Dwayne the Cat Johnson.
Dwayne the Cat deserves.
It's a rough goal that he's going to bring a lot of love to.
FIV isn't a death sentence.
A lot of cats live a long time with it.
For sure.
And give this guy a nice home for a good decade
where you're going to make his life
and he'll make your life a lot better too, Nick.
That's for sure.
And hey, for more information
on Dwayne the Cat Johnson or any of the many cats
available for adoption,

S-A-N-T-E-D-O-R.org.
Or check out their Instagram,
Santador Rescue.
And that'll do it for this episode.
You know what?
It's Mayow, Nick.
It's Mayow.
Let's give Dwayne the Cat Johnson a home.
What a nice end to Mayow that would be.
What a wonderful, wonderful end to a very wonderful
meow-filled month that would be.
You go to Hobbs and Shaw and Hobbs
and you say,
guess what my cat's name is?
Dwayne the Cat Johnson.
The whole theater is going to love you.
What some people might guess like,
is it named Hobbs like Calvin and Hobbs?
And you'd be like,
no, that's fucking stupid.
That's fucking stupid.
Get this guy out of here.
And the usher kicks the guy out the fucking door.
He goes out there.
He's like, hey, I paid full price for this ticket.
Hey, and everyone says, shut the fuck up.
Shut the fuck up.
You loser.
And then he goes to work and they're like,
how was Hobbs and Shaw?
He's like, oh, it was good.
And they're like, what part do you like best?
He's like, uh, I don't know.
The car chase?
Like you didn't see that shit, did you?
Get the fuck out of here.
You're fucking fired, you piece of shit.
He loses his job.
He goes home and walks in.
What's going on?
Oh, another dude is railing his wife.
What the fuck?
Why?
It's because you didn't see Hobbs and Shaw, you loser.
This guy saw Hobbs and Shaw and he knows how to satisfy a woman.
Get the fuck out of here.
Then you get a gun and you put it in your mouth.
You're like, I'm such a fucking loser.
And you pull a trigger.
It doesn't even work.
You're such a fucking dumbass.
You can't even kill yourself, you fucking loser.
Anyway, that's what's going to happen to you.
