I am mad. Look,, the day we're recording this and the day this releases, for me, it's supposed to be a day of celebration. But because of that, I was going to a bar mitzvah, that got canceled. Oh man. But because of the AMPTP and the studios greed, I can't celebrate.

I can't even talk about what I'm talking about, what I want to talk about, because these studios are treating us so unfairly. It's true that we were forced into a situation we have to go on strike. That's right, Sagafters on strike, WGA continues our strike. And as part of Sagafters strike,

there is no promotion of current and existing projects, which is certainly ties into what's going on with you and what's going on with this week's guests. And I'll say this, I'll say that I'll say why it sucks. I've written some thoughts down, of course, but because I'm not a great off the top of my dome speaker, like you. Say that, you can do that, you can react.

I can riff, but I wanted to collect my thoughts a little bit. It sucks because for a working actor, at this point, they do just, they expect you to promote your own work, which is crazy. And it's helpful for you. Like that's how you get jobs.

You promote something. You hope people see it, and you hope to get into another job. Either that project gets picked up and you get more work that way, or people see that project, and that leads to get into another job. You know, you know, you know, that project gets picked up and you get more work that way or people see that project and that leads to more opportunities. Yeah, and I can't mention anything. It's depressing and it's because of the studios.

Yes. It's because of the way they mistreated us and they've done it for years. I think you, I mean, you and I have talked about it forever. Oh, yeah. You made fun of Funny or Die bad company. Yes. You made fun of plenty of companies that have,

I mean, look, they're in the long line of evil. I'm not saying they're the most evil, but there's a lot of, there's a lot of companies that underpaid, writers and actors and the position that we're in now. And it's fucking sucks, Wags. It sucks to, it's, it's really hard to get work in this industry. And it's really hard to get treated. Well, you get treated like trash constantly.

And it's a depressing week for me because it is something where you're when you finally make it up that mountain, you want to you want to celebrate, you want to, you know, sometimes they begrudgingly treat you well, studios, begrudgingly treat you well. And when I say that, I don't even mean that they treat you well. It will be a thing of like, hey, there's a premiere. Hey, can I get a ticket for, you know, my mom and sister? Oh, we'll see about it. Or hey, can I get a plus one?

And we'll see about it. Am I invited? No, you're not invited. I mean, like that's things that happen all the time. And me complaining about that as an actor, it's something that, I mean, they just say fuck the crew straight out. They don't 100% or the crew.

Yeah. So just to make it clear like, oh, boo, whoo, whoo, whoo is me. I'm not trying to say that. I'm saying that's just the way, the way they, and then you get to these fucking things and there's these fucking dipshit content creators there and you're like,

I had a bag, someone who's a part of this project who worked to make this a thing. Yeah. And you have to, you have to beg because they don't care. They treat you like trash on every fucking level. Right. And that's just the way it goes. It's a total disrespect for performers

and it's most seen in the compensation. It's most seen in how poorly writers and actors, but also crew, basically everyone who works on something these days is compensated relative to years past. But you just hit on something, where it's like it's tough to find work, but it's always been tough to find work in this industry.

It's always been like a challenge like that's part of your job is trying to get, trying to book something. The thing is, in years past, before streaming kind of completely dropped the bottom out of the economy here, when you booked work, you could pay your bills, you could sustain yourself. You know what, I booked this thing,

I booked these few guest spots, I can string, I booked this writing job, I can use this to make my year. And that's not the case anymore. The job you book for those weeks helps you make those weeks and that's it. 100%, I mean, look, we all live in the gig economy. Now it happens to ever, it's happened to ever, and basically every field, it sucks,

except the fields where people are making a lot of money, basically, where people have to get other jobs. There's people who, I'm a janitor and I'm also an Uber driver. It's fucking horrible. And I know that, look, acting and writing, it's, that's cusher work than a lot of blue collar work writing it's cushy there that's cushier work than a lot of blue collar work I'm not I'm not saying that that's

not the case may be harder than most blue collar work but it's it's about people are not getting compensated in the way that they should it's true that's the issue and also just there was a thing online today that was like I feel bad for mission I'm not trying to make people feel bad for me. I don't get it shit. But someone was like, he's a real bad for this fucking guy. Feel bad for this dipshit. Who gave me a break? Someone was like, someone posted,

he's a rich actor, don't feel bad for him. And I want to say, we've said it multiple times. We're blessed to have a podcast that pays us well. I have never, ever in my entertainment career, besides maybe a sketch project I worked on, ever been paid well at all, especially with the streaming networks. I've never made, yeah, I've never made money to like,

pay my rent in California and be able to live. And when you book stuff, like, you know, like you book a role and, you know, say like a streaming network on a show, you probably think like, hey, you're good to go. And it's like, I don't think that people understand the level, they try to have actors be guest stars. They're like actively trying to fuck them over.

They're trying to give them the least amount of money that they can. And residuals are gone too. And that used to be a thing that you would work on a project. It's very hard to book something. Hey, I booked something, I feel good. And I've said this before, I do pretty well as far as that goes. I book too. And that used to be a thing that you would work on a project. It's very hard to book something. Hey, I booked something, I feel good. And I've said this before, I do pretty well as far as that goes.

I book things. I'm not trying to be like, I book everything. I don't, there's sometimes I don't work for a year. But it used to be okay because you'd work and then you'd get residuals that paid you properly and that doesn't happen anymore. Yeah, and that's true for all sides of the industry. What, just to talk about one thing you mentioned

and just to drill that down, which is like you mentioned, they're hiring actors for guest spots, as opposed to what that means is that if it's a guest role, that's a lower rate than if you're a series regular or recurring. So these are basically roles where you functionally are a series regular or recurring, right? And so these are basically roles where it's like, you functionally are a series regular, you functionally are recurring, not mean you specifically, but I mean the person who's hired in the situation,

if you're someone who's in seven out of 10 episodes in a run, you're someone who's effectively a series regular, but they're saying like, oh, you're a guest star for those seven episodes, so we can pay you a much lower rate. Which is not something you can, you know, again, make your year with. And that's in, and look, a lot of us, a lot of friends we have have tried to, we've

tried to talk about this in the past. Yeah. And I think some have been fucking torn apart for trying, like, you know, to mean, like some people, people are weirdly brainwashed and try to stick up for studios for whatever reason. I think that's a really small sliver. It is, it's a small sliver. But like, look, when we've said Netflix sucks in the past,

it's the truth. They are bad. They're a bad company. They underpay people. That's just the way it goes. And most of these streaming places are the same thing. They underpay people. And look, I feel that way about everyone.

If you're overworked and underpaid, no matter what profession you're in, it's fucking bullshit. And it should be that way. And that's most working people. It is, yes, of course. And of course, we're dealing with our two industries right now, which are going through that themselves.

But Wags, yeah, I'm pissed off in a week that should be when you should be getting pissed on in celebration. You wrote a joke in a sketch that was very much that exact line. Yeah. Like when Wiger gets pissed off, something gets pissed on. Oh, yeah. In the porn sketch. Yeah.

But Wiger, is there anything else you'd like to say? I wrote down a couple more. I have, I have, you know, this was a feature I was doing a little while back when I was doing these solo Wiger's Nido stat of the week. This isn't exactly a stat, but I thought this was a great little bit of information, not a great bit of information or for boating bit of information. But Sagafcha as WGA did earlier released a statement that basically laid out all of their negotiation points and all of the responses from the studios. And I just want to talk specifically about AI because this is something

that, you know, I think people hear this word and maybe aren't sure exactly how it manifests itself in the workplace. But here's an example of something that was discussed. The bullet point is, performers need the protection of our images and performances to prevent replacement of human performances by artificial intelligent technology. Us, Sagafra. Here's a comprehensive set of provisions to grant informed consent and fair compensation

when a digital replica is made or our performance has changed using AI, meaning you can change someone's voice or facial expressions or what have you at additional dialogue without compensating somebody, etc. Them from AMPTP. We want to be able to scan a background performer's image, pay them for a half-days labor, and then use an individual's likeness for any purpose forever without their consent. We also want to be able to make changes to principal performer's dialogue

and even create new scenes without informed consent. And we want to be able to use someone's images, likenesses, and performances to train new generative AI systems without consent or compensation. You can see the path that leads down, which is that, you know, all the time, it's like, well, you sign the contract, but you may have a choice between, you know,

like if your choices get a paycheck and sign this document or, you know, don't get paid, a lot of people are backed in the corner because they're powerless in that situation. And so, where you see this endpoint is, is they basically, it just turns into a capture section session. We're gonna have someone just say a bunch of common words and then we're gonna be able to train gendered A.I.

And then we can use their likeness to do whatever we want with them. I mean, it's just such blatant disrespect for people. It's really, it's... 100% and look, a lot of these students, and a lot of these jobs, they wanna make you feel like you're on the bottom. That's a part of the power dynamic. They wanna make you feel small.

So here's the thing, here's a little factoid for you two wags. COVID put a lot of auditioning on tape. There used to be casting rooms. The studio, so those shut down because of COVID and people realized studios realized, like, hey, we can do a lot of casting over on tape. You just think that began by necessity of like, I'm going to self-tape my performance

and submit it digitally. So this saves studios millions of dollars and time because they don't have to have open casting offices. They don't have to have people come in and read with a casting associate. Right. And do the actors see any of that money? No.

What happens is is that you have to get a good camera so that your tape looks good. You have to find someone to read with. You have to get equipment to audition. You have to edit all the stuff. It's more time for the actor, more money for the actor. And the studios just take all that fucking profit. And it's infuriating.

And here's the thing that's awful. And I've been told this before, you make these tapes, you get someone to help you audition, you put yourself on tape, and then they don't even fucking watch the tapes. They don't watch them. That's how much they treat you like trash. They're just so used to treating you like trash

that they don't care. And I've, multiple times I've put in a tape and been told that my tape wasn't even watched. And that is infuriating. And that's just, and that's the level of respect that they give actors now. And writers, it's the same thing. Writers do a bunch of free works, they do packets, and they've gotten so out of hand with it.

But like, I mean, back in the day, if you memorized lines for an audition, you were supposed to be paid. And that's a thing with my union. I want my union to protect me, not just when strike issues come up, but every day. You know what I mean? I, we need that protection from these, from these companies and studios because it's gotten so out of hand. And it's so adversarial.

Yeah. What you were just talking about is, and this was another thing that, you know, the, the, this is from the same document regarding casting and self-taimed auditions. A SAG after a said, they're basically demand was disclose if an offer is out or the role has already been cast, which you mentioned at the time self-tapped auditions are requested because the thing that can happen is just like for whatever reason, they just like, like, oh, we already have this, we already are going to cast this person, but whatever. Let's have some more people send things in.

And they counter to rejecting, the studios counter rejected, disclosing when an offer is out, and required performers to contact production to ask if a role has already been cast. So they're only, and their thing is, they were only endeavor to respond. So it's all these weasel words, which means they actually have no obligation

to do any of that, because they just, they again, they just don't respect people's time. They don't respect people's time. It's embarrassing. And also who the fuck are these idiots? You know what I mean? Like they're idiots. Yeah. They're dummies.

They're not the creative people. You know what I mean? I mean, now I'm gonna lose myself jobs forever, but I don't give a shit. Yeah. They're so used to treating us like shit. And it's embarrassing. I mean, it's that sort of, I can't tell you how many times, like I said,

I've been told they didn't even watch your tape or oh, we're hiring somebody local. I'm like, I made a tape for no reason or how many times they've been like, hey, you booked it. It's the most exciting thing in the world. You booked something and it's like, just so you know the money,

you're gonna get the minimum. That just always happens. It happens all the time. So look, I know people- Where they're like, they like their tape, but you know, they put in the spank bank. I don't want someone fucking crank it off to my tape.

I don't want to crank it off to my fucking tape. Igers jacking off to Wigher. He's like, that's, he's fucking, that's the loves nothing more. But Wiggs, they love treating us like trash. I think they don't know the difference anymore. And I'm mad, I'm mad difference anymore. And I'm mad. I'm mad as hell.

And it needs to change. And it's a week that should be for me. A celebratory week is instead a week where I'm fucking pissed off. And for a lot of great people, you work 12, 100%. Yeah. And it's unfortunate. Again, we're lucky. We're lucky.

You're going to make stairs jokes. But as an working actor and Wags is a working writer, you know that the treatment that actors and writers get is ridiculous until you make it to the top level. I think that's a thing that people can confuse by. It's they think of actors as Tom Cruise and Kevin Hart. Yes, and writers as Shonda Rhymes and Ryan Murphy. And it's not just Sonderfreedom.

Yeah. Yeah. That was just the news, man. Yeah. It's true. It's infuriating and things need to change and that's that. Well, hey, that's it. That's a fun episode.

I do think this was a really fun episode. We recorded it at a little bit of an awkward time. We recorded it literally the final day of negotiations when it looked like a strike was imminent, but we weren't quite sure. And so there's some of that energy in this episode. Yeah.

Hey, we're coming, IOTS is coming for you next, too. I hope IOTS gets a great deal. IOTS is on the teamsters. That's next year. But also in that episode, I think if we'd had the full guidelines for what we're doing in terms of promotion and social media and stuff, maybe I wouldn't have spent 20 minutes gushing about in Conto. It was the only time I've seen you nervous with a guest who is bizarre. Um, also it was funny for me to be like,

I shouldn't be saying this, I'm gonna lose jobs. No one listens to this fucking show. What the fuck am I talking about? That was bullshit. Sorry, I don't know why I said that. Anyway, it's a good episode. Give it a listen. Give it a listen.

Uh, and enjoy this episode where we're gonna talk about chain restaurants. I'm Nick Weiger, along with my co-host, a real-life Kendall genital-wise, the Spoon Man, Mike Mitchell. Jesus. Long walk there. So basically, okay, I get it. Yeah, I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it.

I got it. That's from brinyrospoonmanageemail.com. You ever address a Kendall? That was the first thing I did when I got my hands on one when I was a kid. Wait, what? Yeah. Whoever I got a Kendall is like, I'm taking it all Ken doll. That was the first thing I did when I got my hands on one when I was a kid. Wait, what? Yeah. Whoever I got a Ken doll is like,

I'm taking all of those clothes. That's all you do in Barbie's, is what you have sex. And, uh. That was the whole point. My experience with a Ken doll and our guest me, I'm curious if our guest's experience lines up, is that Yundress him,

he has like, you know, nothing down below, but if you examine it closely, there is like an underwear like outline that matches his skin tone. Depends on the model of the can. Okay, that's the can I examine. That's the model of the can. There is a can with a plastic outline brief situation,

and then there's the can with just the mysterious lump. Wow, okay. The mysterious lump fits right into the slot with the Barbie as well. We fit right together. What did you think when you, this was revealed to you, Ix? What did you think of it?

I was disappointed. No, I was also like, that's weird that his underwear is the same color as his skin. I just remember being confused by that. I like a young wager going to the toy store and be like, I want to return this defective kendo. RosemoonManageemail.com. Yeah.

I mean, I saw naked Barbies and I really like Barbies who would always end up naked. Like you just see like a naked. This is what I'm saying. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. Exactly. That's what kids do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I didn't, I mean, I was, I was an Injecturdle guy to be clear.

Yeah. Ninja Turtles and Ghostbusters, those were my two. I was a little, I had a little bit of he-man crossover. You remember, he man had some like fun ones. There was one that was a skunk that kind of smelled. Oh, yeah, it's yeah, stinkcore. Stinkcore, yeah. Was his name stinkcore?

Stinkcore, he literally smelled bad stink or stink or right? Where it's the wh oh are you oh are are you stink or Man, or stink or I know settled with that name Made it to live up to it. There was Moss manman. What was Mossman's name? The Moss guy. Yeah, his name was Mossman. His name was Mossman? I think there was a Mossman.

Stinkhorr Mossman. Yeah, Mossman. It was Mossman. The Grace Cole. The Grace Cole. Grace Cole. I was, but I wasn't like a huge, he-man was like a little bit before my time.

Yeah, I was like, he-man was right in my sweet spot. I was super into he-man. I loved he-man. I was allowed to get the figures, but no, you know, I gotta ask. What was that he man like without his trunks? Man, fucking disappointing. Why don't they built on like, it wasn't it like a purple?

Yeah, you really had to chisel on it. Yeah, I was not a, Wags handshaking, bloody fingernails. He managed to get the pants off somehow. I gotta get out of this, this, this, Castle Gray skull wiki. I'm gonna be buried in this. I'm gonna close the tab.

You can leave that open for later. No, I'm gonna close the tab. All right, so I just looked up at M.O. Lane Trappjah, Too Bad, Beast Man, Merman, Faker, Panthor, remember all those? Grizzlor, Hordak, of course. There's a lot of Hordak again. Hordak, Hordck, of course. There's a lot of Hordeck again. Hordeck.

That was a theme. Leach Mantena, drag store, Modulac and Multibot. Drag store. These are ones I like, slush head, flog, critta, optik, Lizor, Karate, and quattrochi. Karate.

It's karate, but it's spelled with a TTI. And then there's the mini snake man, including Cobra con and snake man. And so many problems. So many problems. I'm kind of the mini snake man. That goes back to the earlier joke. You know what, you're beautiful.

You've been saying this a little, I've just keep piling on myself. Well, let you be shittied to yourself. I've been, I've been, I've been away. I feel a little bloated. I've been in Boston for a while, but I look everything's good. Emma's frozen. So we just have to point this out that Emma is frozen in looks like Wednesday, Adam's kind of. Well, yeah, we'll insert this into our video and we'll put this on our social media. But

Emma is generally terrifying, but is extra terrifying right now in this state. Her head just ducked down a little bit, tilted forward. Eyes just completely dead. I think it looks really pretty, Emma. Yeah, I'm always a spray. It looks great. Emma always looks great. Emma always looks great.

It does just look like she's the orphan,. I mean, it's just giving a little orphan. In all fairness, this is her normal reaction at our jokes. So, I locked into that state. Yeah, that's true. We're not even sure if it is frozen. She maybe has just been listening to our podcast.

And then I come in here, why is another issue? The mic arm is broken. That's right. Marty fucked up the, I have to say what you said. You don't, I don't wanna say it. No, cause he's my friend. He's my friend too. I think he'll be fine with this.

You said that. So what happened? Adam Conn over had a lower the microphone so he could get his hair into the frame. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha It's funny you can say that he knows he's got big hair. He's not that's not a secret 100% he knows this actually my hair is smaller than average Infographics The average male hair height is 4.5 inches We don't buy that That's one fact to it.

I can see by this normal man Bart Simpson. You think that like the studio executives are like, they're looking out there window and they just see like, the top of Adam's hair striking by every day. Again, we like Adam a lot. He's a great guy. He's a great guy. I am a great union guy. He was speaking truth to us, which why fellow head gum label made here? Affleck at midnight tonight. We're getting this episode in under under the wire. We should okay. We should we should we should also. Yes, we should address this, but also we're doing all the right moves so that we're not violating anything here. You're a huge union guy. Of course.

Two months. Sorry, that's me. I'll just scap it up a little bit here and there. But we're all time stamp this. We're recording this on July 12th. This is the day that the SAG after a dead like contract deadline, it's it's set to expire. We don't know what's going to happen. We'll certainly know by the time this episode

comes out in a couple of weeks, but that's when we're recording this. Yeah. The guidance has come out for SAG after members, and that is to, it is very, you know, understandably, but is very restrictive in terms of what you can say about any sort of upcoming project. So we're gonna be a little bit...

You say hypothetically. A little bit of a news show that you want everybody to watch and excited about it. Can't really talk about it. Right. Can't go to a premiere. Can't do anything. But hypothetically, it's the greatest show that I've ever seen. Hypothetically, everyone's gonna check it out.

The best. We're talking very generally and in abstract. General, very, you know, say it's also based on a really hugely popular piece of IP. What's that IP? Who knows? Don't know. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It's not important right now. Not Who knows? Don't know. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

It's not important right now. Not important, that's not. It's not important. It doesn't. It's not important. Is that... It's sticking to the rules. It's sticking to the rules and that actors get a fair deal.

100% and that writers get a fair deal. So 100%. Say that you're hypothetically you had a theme month planned around maybe this upcoming release of a show you can't do it anymore So we have you maybe not we maybe day had to Hypothetically throw it out the window too I'll be honest you and I discussed and we actually pulled the plug on everything before this guidance came out Just in terms of like any sort of thing. That is that is true

So we're you know, we're we're trying our best, we're not just like, oh, they're making us do this. We're trying our best to abide by this spirit of the game. Why is it the head of the curve, as always? I wasn't trying to push it or anything. No one was done without you were. And our lovely guys also was very aware of these things. But we hope that SAG After gets a good deal

and we hope that WGA gets a good deal. We stand with SAG After as a WGamist. God, I gotta walk every day. That's just a lot. It's a lot of work. Every year. I know, I'll be going over on the line. Everybody said about me.

That's what matters me with his hair. We love that guy. Great guy. Great guy. Mitch, you got a drop. Oh, yeah. Emma. Emma. He can't tell. Artie Lister's cannot convey how terrifying Emma looks in this date.

He's giving what the ring? Yes, 100%. I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, her picture of it and she, she has now, she's seen it. She's laughing at it. That's fucking terrifying Emma, let's hit him with a drop please Michael turn off off Elrazer! Michael, don't mess with the lament configuration! Michael, the set of bites are your enemy! Michael, Freddy is haunting my dreams!

Michael! Oh, so embarrassing. It's so sad. It's so sad. Explain it to me. Explain it to me. Explain it to me. He doesn't impress you on my mom.

That's Michael. That's your mom. Yeah. That's your mom. And then we always, Which often, because sometimes Mitch records in Quincy, Massachusetts, where he's from and his mom is off camera and will yell things to him while he's recording.

So I took that and ran with it. But it's not your mom to be clear. It's not my mom, it's not my mom. But like also like my mom's getting scared in that clip about the lament configuration which is from hell, razor. But as someone who does music goals, I would say record your mom and put it on,

drop it on some of those beats. Because I do think the actual mom voice might be, so she doesn't want you to do it. No, I agree with you. She doesn't want to be a star. I agree with you. What's wrong with her? These are all listener made.

So I'm not gonna help them do shit. I'm not gonna help them make these drops. I agree with you. What's wrong with her? These are all listener made. So I'm not gonna help them do shit. I'm not gonna help them make these drops. All right. All right. That's the fact why I started doing it, because I used to do my own drops, and then I was like, this is too much work. I'm gonna outsource this to the listeners

to do it every week. And they do. Although I think this is a great pitch, we can do Mama Mitchell drop month. We could get your mom to record like a half dozen lines and then people can remix them however they see fit. If she's down for it. Yeah, my voice is my passport.

Please verify me. Can you do a little sneakers song situation going in there? I know it's gonna be embarrassing to be like, Mom, can you say like, like I'm afraid of Freddie Kruger or whatever I ever say? That's 75 years old. I don't wanna have. But then you can record or be like Michael, no! I'm not of Freddie Kruger or whatever I have her say. That's 75 years old. I don't want to have. But then you can recruit her, be like, Michael, no!

I'm not saying that. That is also true. That is true. And she will probably say that. She also, here's the other thing. Doesn't sound anything like that at all. But does she sound like? That's mix.

She's a small impression. Guess what, she has a strong Boston accent. Hi, Lammy. She calls me. Lammy, she calls you Lammy. That's cute. That's really sweet. And then at one point, I used to be afraid of saying this,

but I did say it on the show already, so I'll just admit it at one point. I was like, I'm too old for Lammy. And she's like, how about Rami? I was like, yeah. Oh, oh my God. That works, that works better. I think I maybe even I said Grammy.

My wife, Ellen and I love the pod and made this drop. Michael, Greg. That's one of Greg. Thank you, Greg. Greg and Ellen, what a cute couple. I was thinking about them having a glass of white wine talking about which line to put in. Playing them back and up with each other.

I'm maybe depressed. No, I love it. Thank you, Greg and Ellen. I just... I'm not being Ellen DeGeneres. I just checked the, the Grace Gollwicky, Rami is part of the evil horde. So... Ever Ellen was mean to everyone.

She was, yes, that was her... She back, is Ellen back? I'd be back, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, work by Ellen's people I guess. She's powerful. Also I need to say because people will want me to say in front of our guests is embarrassing. How did ho disbude nation? Oh that was really cute. Oh god. It was really good. Eel! Remember that character? What was her name? Wait, which one? The little girlfriend. Oh yeah yeah yeah. What is this? What's who's a little girlfriend? No she's like- My hands little girlfriend, right? Yeah, hands is it? What is this? What's who's a little girlfriend? No, she's like. Hands little girlfriend, right?

Who's her name? Oh, my God. Hands little girlfriend. Wendy, yeah, right? Wendy. Wendy. Yeah, and this, that is Mr. Hank. Oh, my God.

Mr. Hankie, you know, I know who it is. I watched my fair share of South Park back in my day. We'd watched in high school. I showed my mom some of Team America when I was born. America, fuck yeah. It is really funny and some of it is age poorly a little bit. Some of it. I mean, a lot of it.

I'm not sure. You're most of it, has age poorly. Yeah, most of it is age poorly. For those guys, man, they still make me laugh so much. Yeah. But yeah. What was it, Lisa? Michael, they were too mean to Michael Moore.

Ha, ha, ha. I love all Michaels. Miami. Our guest today from Brooklyn 999 in Nenconto, and an upcoming series we're not gonna talk about. Stephanie Beatres. Hi Stephanie. I have you.

It's very nice to be here. What a treat. Thank you so much for me time for us. I said this, I got you about this. I'm proud, guys. I'm gonna say this on pod in front of Mitch. Uh, Natalie, my lovely wife and I are huge in condo fans. It's very nice.

And really, really enjoy your performance, really, the family, family magic all. Uh, and you, you performed that live at the Hollywood Bowl. I did. Part of in condo live. You were saying that was a very stressful experience. It was hell. It was absolute fucking hell. I mean, with three days of rehearsal, the dancers

had a month. We had three days. They like plugged us in. I think they were thinking that we were just going to be able to, you know, do it. But it had been a year since we had song those songs. I win, Manuamoranda, who wrote the music was like, you know, that song's the first song of this is not written to be sung live. There's no space to breathe. There's no space to breathe in the song. I think I did it like all the way through maybe twice in the booth and I was like,

you know, because those runs by the end are so like just nimble. Yeah, they're pretty fast, but I did it, and I'm very proud of it and brought a lot of joy to people. Also, the Hollywood bulls, like fucking phenomenal. It's just, you know, you walk out on that stage and you're just like, the Beatles played here, you know, like, the Beatles.

I mean, it's really cool. It was really, really, really cool and magical. And also, Bart Simpson. We went and saw Simpson's live. We did some Simpson's live. Some Simpson's live, yeah. And all of the bull We went and saw Simpson's live. We did see Simpson's live. Yeah. And all of the world, which is like wild experience. I would say I only watched in Conto live on YouTube.

I was kind of like, it's a better show. I think it's better than Simpson's live. I think it was. No, I don't believe it. I worked at the Simpson's. I worked at the Simpson's and Simpson's live. When Simpsons. And Simpsons live, when, what did Nancy, she came on saying, do the Bart man?

She saying, do the Bart man to close it out. Yeah. I can't believe I came on your podcast and you're telling me this track. Simpsons live, not all the parts. It's busted with this, disgusted. No, Simpsons live was bad. And, no, I'm sure we're fine. I was bad. And, I never saw him cut out.

Never saw him cut out a lot. No, it was, it was, Simpson's live was very interesting. It was a strange show, but that was, was a blast as a Simpson's fan. I enjoy it, right? Oh, right. It's also just a cool space to be in.

It's like looking up at the stage, and the band show, and the whole thing, it's beautiful. Did you do that anyway? Should I have an admission that we'll get you, Mad? I'm ready. I've never seen in Conto. Oh, you should watch it, Mitch.

Oh, I am mad. I'm gonna watch it. I'm gonna watch it. I'm gonna watch it. I'm gonna watch it. Look, I feel like a burning sensation in my gut. I can't believe this. Look, as a single or so.

As a single as a single So a white man Going to children's movies by myself is sometimes hard so I never Go You have a wife just won't go to myself. I love monsters. I like monsters you so that was a so I sure We named our kid, Roz. Wow. Yeah. Wow.

And like, there's a fancy story behind it, but the real story is, it's funny. Mike was aoski. I mean, it's so funny to think about a toddler named Roz. It's so funny to me. I don't talk to me anymore. I can't. I can't. I can't even believe it.

I'm here and have my life. I, first of all, it's one of the biggest films of all time. I, I, I brag to everyone that Stephanie from me can tell is in the movie. That's why I mean everyone was like, oh my God, it's like, like everyone with kids, while I told that you were in the show, we're going, to my kids watching.

That's, that's, that's, that's, that's, no. No, no, no. like, no, no. Yeah. People will go nuts over that. I want to be honest that I hadn't seen. I'm going. I'm glad you're honest. Now, you could watch it.

I'm going to watch it. I'm gonna watch it. And I think that you've been great and everything. We've had a lot of crossover. Yeah. I was on Brooklyn 9.9. You were fantastic in Brooklyn 9.9. You were too.

Oh, that's very nice of you to say. I was so funny. I, I was very, they talk so, I mean, Andy too, especially, they talk so fast. Yeah, but I thought you were with them with what they were doing was really a great juxtaposition and it was just so like, I don't know, there was something really like pure about that character,

which I thought was so funny. That's very kind of you to say, but as Nick knows, I can barely say a sentence normally. At a regular speed. So when it was like, I was like, I gotta pick up the pace. I gotta pick up the pace. So it was, anyways, you're hilarious.

And I was gonna say this, I was gonna say this to the end, but I'm going to say it now. You're funny and cool. And also, uh, you're very generous as an actor to people who are not as big of actors. You're very generous. And also you will tag people like me who don't even, and other actors who are big like you don't always do that in your cool as hell. And thank you for doing the show and you rule. And that is that that is sincere. So that's really nice. I dug myself a huge hole but that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is the truth. You gotta really get for that turn it around there. Yeah. You know, I would have to find if I just totally I didn't see it in

contour. I was gonna see it because of you but then everything else that happened after that made me really feel like a fuck off. I fucked up so bad. Well, listen, listen, honey. You're doing great. And hypothetically, you're fantastic in a hypothetical something in show. Thank you, hypothetically, thank you. Yes.

I hypothetically appreciate that, but in real life, fuck you. Yeah. Yeah. Can weetically appreciate that but in real life. Fuck you Can we talk about food a little bit cuz I'm curious cuz I know I saw that you used to you grew up in part in Texas Yeah, you spend a lot of time in Texas and I assume that's why you pick this week's chain. Yes But I but you know, there's a lot of Texas There's a lot of distinct Texas cuisine. There's some specific Texas chains like water burger Are there any- The bubbles here as we get into this. Okay.

Yeah, like what is it? What is a Texas food that maybe that you crave and then you maybe miss an LA? I do love a water burger. What's your order of water burger? Plain. It's a plain burger. It's a plain burger.

Really? Wow. Extra pickles. Extra pickles. If I'm feeling fancy, I'm maybe gonna put some ketchup on it. But like, to me, the square of the meat and the little bun with the pickles is like it. That's it, fire burger.

Also, if you have to not eat it in the car, which when we were little, we were not allowed to eat until we got home. So like, all that sauce and stuff makes everything soggy. Yeah. And I'm really getting specific about food now. This is what we're doing. That's what this is the show.

Sadly, this is the show. No, no, no, no, I'm into it. I'm into it. Too many sauces on a drive-through pickup burger. You're gonna get at home, you're gonna come out with a soggy mess. One sauce, maybe no sauces, maybe just vinegar from the pickles.

Your solids. I agree with that, but I also, I feel like probably both of us, like a good sog. Like you like to get here with a sog. I don't like a soggy burger. I get it, I get it. Especially if you're traveling quite a bit to...

It's different with like a sandwich with like a crusty bread. I'm okay with like a sog in the middle, but the hamburger bun is like soft all the way through. So if you sog it out, it's just like, well what the fuck was the point of that? Sure. I try to think of the biggest sog offenders.

And I'm like, does BK get a good sog, darn? is the big is the big is the little soggy. I feel like any place that has like kind of like lettuce and May. The lettuce, the onion, the tomato, the big beef. McDonald's. I mean, like McDonald's, I think of McDonald's cheeseburger. I'm like, that's never so. No, it's going to last five years. That's exactly. It's almost the other way. I was like, not, maybe this isn't right. That's not right. I think the bun is a big part of that. I also think that with like,

and now burger, it gets all that song, you think it would get soggy. You wanna know. It's all on there, but I think that bun holds up a little bit. I don't think eating out burgers is also a thing that you gotta eat pretty quickly. I wasn't gonna say you wanna eat it right away.

Yeah, yeah. That's what a hamburger's all about. That's what I have to talk about. There's what a hamburger's all about. There's a lot of arguing with you. You run it through the garden. There's a lot of stuff on that burger. So I think that can get more soggy than you're letting on.

He's like an in and out guy. Yeah, I like it. Let me have fun. So Cal. But Wendy's decently soggy. I feel like Carl's Jr. it's like that's the point. It's like, come soggy, right? I don't fuck with Carl's Jr.

Wow, interesting. I don't fuck with Carl's Jr. I can't get behind it. It's something about the way the sign looks. I can't, the advertising is not for me. I'm not the target audience. Not the target audience for that. I don't know why.

I, Carl's Jr. to me does, I think you'll agree, it does feel like a big fat, fatty spot to go. I feel like a fat fat. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm just, it's just like the, the ads were like big burgers falling. And a piece of shit. Here you go.

To me, I just want to be clear. That's not real. He's getting real. He's getting real. He's getting real. He's getting real. He's getting real. He's getting real. He's getting real. He's getting real. He's getting real. He's getting real. He's getting real.

He's getting real. He's getting real. He's getting real. He's getting real. He's getting real. He's getting real. He's getting real. He's getting real.

He's getting real. He's getting real. He's getting real. He's getting real. He's getting real. He's getting real. He's getting real. He I'm saying. It's a aesthetic issue. We're attracted to the, like we like, like comedy, that you're big fat fuck. We like that.

We do like it. It's like Paris Hilton in the car. She's like get her out of the way. I want to see that fucking big sloping bird. That's funny. Cause it was horny, it was horny ass. They leaned to the horn.

That was a long time ago. That was a distant day. Oh burger ads are kind of horny though. It's like the burger is like sweating. The meat is like all glistening. That was a long time ago. That was a distant day. Oh, burger ads are kind of horny, though. It's like the burger is like sweating. The meat is like all squelting. That's true. I mean, it's all there's like the angles are like, you know, low angle and then going,

right? The very central. Very central. It's very central. It is, it is, and I kind of, I do kind of love that. I love that about burger ads. Yeah. But the, the, the Carl's Jr. was a little too horny.

I never wanted a woman to see me eating, especially Carl's Jr. Oh yeah, of course. Like, no, of course. I get very, does that, when I go on dates, I get very, no, no one else self-conscious about either. It's been a long time since I've been on like a date.

But yes, I never, you know, when I had an eating disorder, yes. Yeah, when I was like, now it's got a good sign, sir. Yeah, it's not a good sign. I'm like, take a look at your relationship with food and eating. Well, let me tell you, it's not good. Let's say, I think it's great.

You clearly love and enjoy eating, because that's part of this podcast, which is fucking great. But I think more so, I think what it is, I don't think it's as much, oh no, this person see me, but more, I think I have something on my face. Oh, well, yeah, that, yeah, that. And I think that comes from, I had acne when I was younger,

I think it's maybe an acne thing. So I think it's like, That's so interesting. I had really bad, I had really bad acne when we were, You really? Maybe hypothetically doing a project together. Oh, yeah, yeah.

I never, I never noticed that since here. Well, that's because I hypothetically had a project together. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I never, I never know how to say it. Well, that's because I hypothetically had a lot of blood splattered all over my face. Oh, wow. So you couldn't see it. Wow. It was kind of magical. I had really bad cystic acne through,

and nodulacne through like my, into my early 20s, and the thing that finally got, I mean, out of it was acutane. None of my nails did acutane. That's what I'm on right now. Are you real? I'm on it right now because I got a staff infection on a project that I was on because they weren't

cleaning the brushes correctly. Oh my god. So now I bring my, I'm like super, I fucking wash all my shit, I like bring my shit. I got a staff infection, we had to stop shooting. This was not our hypothetical project. It was another hypothetical project that I perhaps did. We had to stop production because I like had this,

I woke up, my lip was swollen. I had never wanted to go on an acuteme because I was like, I don't want this shit to make me fucking depressed. But then I went on and I'm so, so far so good. That's great. Yeah, that's, that is, that's horrifying. I never, I never took it when I was younger and I kind of wish that I did,

but I never I never I never did because there were some side effects back in the day, right? It was like it was like a side effect is like psychosis. Yeah, it's really intense. So like you should probably get nick off Acute Day. You already took it. He's on it. Oh yeah. He already took it. He's out of it. Oh, yeah.

He's out of it. I, however, I pull out a giant knife and stab you both in the neck. You both say thank you. I will say the side of exoside, it was something of, it's the two things I've experienced with medicine. One is acutane and the other is,

and I did have a recent respiratory infection where I was on prednisone, but I've been on prednisone and been on other steroids for my lungs over the years. And they both, like, kind of like, oh, they just are miracle drugs. They've just kind of fixed every day. This podcast brought to you by Acutane and prednisone. You start reviewing pharmaceuticals?

Let's do it! That's late stage doughboys, we would. I'll try some more, Zephyr. That's where the real money comes in, dough, coaching. Oh man. So much money in pharmaceuticals. And we're like one of the only countries with it. Sanfic, yeah?

OZEMPIC? It's my mom sent me a side effect. It can have like, you know, really bad depression stuff that happens with it. You have to, I think you have to stay on it forever. You have to stay on it, yeah, cause like the crags just swing right back. Forever, forever, forever, yeah, I think so.

Oh yeah. I'm curious, what we're talking about in Texas or we're talking about Texas, that can go. Do you have a take on buckies? Are you a buckies enthusiast? I don't, I don't have a buckie take. Yeah. That's right.

It's not really in my, it's like the wall of the South, right? Yeah. And that's sort of what it is. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not really, I mean, we grew up, we had a nemphus, not nemphus, we had, well, nemphus is a great restaurant. We had like a crogr near us. There was a Randall's at the time when I was a kid.

Randall's was the fancy grocery store where they had a bakery. We had a 7-Eleven by my house, but that we didn't have a buckies. Yeah, the buckies that we even count, like all of them in Texas once in my life, and it was for a no-boys tour, but when we've encountered them, they were like, they're like Walmart size.

Yeah, big, ginormous, yeah. And they kind of like them from that standpoint. I think I've said this before, butroger sounds like an knockoff Kruger. It's not a good name. You know what I think so? You know what? This is the second nail in your coffin tonight. You just like Kroger Kruger.

Oh, I'm sorry. I just don't know Kroger. I just don't know that. I just don't know that I don't let the name. What do you mean? You mean it sounds like Carl's Jr. is the aesthetic. So, okay, fair enough, fair enough, fair enough. Don't go after Dunkin' Donuts.

That's where my hometown is. That's where my love of a Dunkin'. America runs on Dunkin'. Call me. They got Zooks. Yeah, they got Zooks. Yeah. Zooks is doing the Dunkin' ads, well.

Yeah, good for him. No forever. I like it. I like it. I like it. Healthy competition. You both were in New Orleans for a bit. I knew Orleans a lot of stuff shoots down there these days. And we've talked on the show about the, as obvious, this is an obvious observation, but

it's a food city. People talk about all the great eats you got down into by you. And I'm curious curious did you have any Favorite meals from your time in knowledge. I feel like both of us ate so much good I mean I thought catering which I like I don't Katering is usually like never great. Yeah, that's true, but catering in New Orleans. I thought was like never great. Yeah, that's true. But catering in New Orleans, I thought was really, really good.

I shouldn't say it's always, sometimes it can be great. But like, the New Orleans catering was, it was, it was a lot, it was heavy. It's a food culture and that affects all aspects. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, I love Coshan. We both went there. I love Coshan from different times.

Yeah, different times. And then the, uh, Wait, tell us about Coshan. Coshan's like super meat. Uh, it's all about the meat. It's tell us about a co-shon. Co-shon's like super meat. It's all about the meat. It's all about like smoking and butchering. And they've got specials all the time. They do pork really well.

They do like a beef braised or like a braised short rib. They've got, oh, I think we ordered. What are they? Not chitlins, but. Oh, yeah. What are they called? I know what you're talking about. You know what I'm talking about?

It's like the fried pieces of pork skin. Yeah, fried, pork, fried. Cheater on, yeah, yeah. Cheater on dipped in steams syrup, which is the syrup that they have down there. It's like so delicious. And there was coach on butcher, which was...

Coach on butcher was their sandwich shop next door, which I also went to. And why they had a pig mac, which was two pork patties, made I also went to. And why say had they had a pig Mac, which was two pork patties made like a big Mac. It sounds so good. I'm drooling. And it was. It was it was really good.

It does sound really good. I ate a coach on butcher like 12 time. I was wow. I was there for like 40 time at 40. I stayed right. I was at the what is it like a holiday and there were some there were some hotel that I was right. I guess at the, what is it, like a holiday in it? There was some hotel that I was writing, I guess I shouldn't have pinpoint where it was. I was far from there anymore.

Yeah, that's fine. It's fine. What was the hotel we just stated on tour? You know how to, sweet, there's like, embassy, embassy, it's sweet. It was an embassy, sweets. And then in Koshan butcher was like right up the street. And I'd walk out into the 100 degree heat

and I go to the shop and go get something, get a bunch of me. But Coach Todd, it's all great. Why is the place you took me? And the first time I was ever in New Orleans. Oh, yes. This was, I don't know what you're talking about. God, why the fuck can't I remember this?

Okay. Tubalous is pretty emo to lose pretty close was close same world in case well there was there was also a place there was a dinner hypothetically hypothetically at at that old restaurant and New Orleans yeah there was a couple of those old old oldie timey ones right but this one was the one with the blue and white awning right yeah the yeah the was the one with the blue and white awning, right?

You fucking eat turtles? I had a pet turtle and I had turtle soup. What the fuck? You monster. I know, I put the film monsters, but it was good as hell. Wasn't the turtle, wasn't it? It wasn't your turtle.

And another kid was like, we found a turtle. And I was like, that's my fucking turtle. But I didn't like have enough evidence to be like, I know that's my turtle, because it's a turtle. Yeah, you know. I can, could have made Guinness for a fucking fast. It's turtle, get the fuck away from wire. Sometimes now I think like, did my turtle run away

or did it like a cat just come by and scoop up? Oh sure, that's something to something to think. Yeah, like I just turned my back and was racing the tank. I feel like a bird could easily come sort of bird. Yeah, and grab it. It's possible, I didn't think about that. Well, I was trying to think of more, oh, you know where I went, was that sandwich shop.

This is the issue, I have such a shitty bad memory. I can't remember fucking any, but it's called like, is it Pullman's or something like that, what the fuck's it called? I'll pull out, I didn't know we're allowed to pull out our phones. Oh, I have a phone. I got all this on my Google Maps.

I got it all written down. Old New Orleans restaurant. Old New Orleans restaurant. Okay, so my favorite place, some of my favorite places were turkey and the wolf. That place is full of that. That was what I was just trying to think of. The phenomenal, phenomenal, phenomenal.

Collar Greens are phenomenal. Molly's Rise and shine for breakfast. That which was from the turkey wolf people. Same owners. Yeah. I really like, oh, Commander's Palace is the restaurant. Oh, yeah. It's a class thing.

I'm so slow on the phone. Oh, you're really. It's a real class thing. Commander's Palace is great. That's where I had Turtle Soup. I've never eaten it since. I've never eaten it again. Maybe. I don't know. I guess I was a little sad that it was turtles.

I, I, I, But is it actual, like that's the only thing. Is, because I think some of the turtle soups, I just called turtle soups, they don't actually use turtle meat. I don't know, I don't know. I don't know. I guess we could ask.

My side at bus was really, really good. They had like Colombian food, my family, ordered from there a couple of times. Yeah. I really liked the truffle fries and the lunches at St. Vincent, the St. Vincent hotel. Did you drink it together? Oh, yeah, and I never went.

That was great. My mom and sister stayed at the hotel with the carousel inside of it. Oh, yeah. Did you drink it that far? Yeah, we drank there. My truck tells her nice. Yeah. It got fixed the day they were leaving, I think.

and then we had a, we had to turn them into determine the best McDonald's menu item, and as you might imagine, the result was fries. But our silver MacDonald's breakfast. We did that's correct. And she's like, what's this podcast? No. Why am I here?

I work with Sarah. She do what she is in for. Oh, I don't want to look at the petite grocery. I didn't go there. Oh, that place is great. That was, that was, and I went to Willie May's scotch house. I went there, I liked that quite a bit. Yeah, yeah.

Welcome back to Doboys here with Stephanie Beatrice, discussing home state, which you want to talk about. This is a chain that you have a clearly passionate for text mixed food as you just said. And this is a place that you said catered your wedding.

Is that correct? So our wedding, my husband Brad and I, so earlier I mentioned that you just have an eating disorder. When I met Brad, it was like more like disordered eating. Like I just had like a lot of feelings around food and thoughts about food, unhealthy thoughts about food like ran my life. And then I kind of started like moving out of that

and then I met Brad and he loved to eat. And it was like going on dates with him was so awesome because all we did was like talk shit and eat all this delicious food that I had never really let myself indulge in. And there was definitely like, you know, like we're so sure, like, sometimes food's really sexy. And so like they're sitting across from someone

that you like kind of want to bone. And you're like eating all this like food. And you're like, ah, this, this is great. And so we wanted to take that feeling into our wedding. So we had all these food trucks. We had the Koji truck, we had home state, we had Mama Suis, the little, Oh yeah. Handballi's, the little. Oh yeah.

Handball, hand sushi balls. We had pizza truck, we had a food truck from Cleveland that had all this like Cleveland food. We had, what's the ice cream sandwiches? They have a truck. New house? Yeah, the house was our dessert. And we wanted to have like an extent,

like an insane number of trucks, because you know you've been to those weddings where they have like two trucks and you're in line for 45 minutes and you're fucking pissed off. Yeah. No, no waiting. So yeah, home state was,

I'm really pissed off and I don't know what any of it was. Especially waiting for food. You would have been happy at mine because it was lit. That's a, that's a, that sounds incredible. It was pretty great. That sounds great. Food can be sexy, especially for you who want. That's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's incredible. It was pretty great.

Yeah, that sounds great. Food can be sexy, especially for you want to po-boy, can you? Yeah, the po-boy can. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Home state is self-described as a Texas kitchen in Southern California. It was founded in 2013 by Breonna Valdez, who grew up in Texas and also worked at Bouchon,

Mitch, the Thomas Keller restaurant. So that's the fine dining pedigree. Six locations in Southern California and growing also offers rotating band tacos as collaborations with musicians. I was a little disoriented to what band tacos were, even though I even hear a number of times. And actually for this episode,

I didn't realize we were gonna get it day of, so I also went on my own. I went to the play of Del Rey location, and I got a few other tacos that didn't try today, but I got the, I'll just say everything I had, and then we can also talk about what we had with this particular meal. But I got the brazos, this is vegetarian,

black beans and jack, the comal, this is also vegetarian, this is eggs, black beans and jack, and then the potato taco, which is potato cheddar sour cream, guacamole, cabbage, salt,. And then the potato taco, which is potato, is cheddar, sour cream, guacamole, cabbage, slaw, pego de gallo, pickled jalapeno. There's a lot of components there. Also got a vegetarian, frito, pie, and a bag.

And a little queso and chips. I do like that they have the little queso. Here's solo diner. It's a cute little cup. It's not too much. It works as a little side piece with your mains. And an ice summer tea. And you get to say little, little, little, little,

little queso. It's L-I-L apostrophe. Yeah. Sounds like you had a lot of jacks during your meal there. All right. He said jacklaw. He's a guy who loves jacklaw. Got it, got it, got it. It should get it.

That's where we're at. Yeah, okay, okay. Talking about tacos, jacking off. Yeah, maybe I made it. I don't like our ear right here. I just remember this moment, let's sink in. I can't believe that you're also coming on not to promote anything either. There is coming on the show to come on the show.

I pathetically. Now, did you get them all on flower tortillas or did you get? So, here's the thing, I generally prefer a corn tortilla, but this place does fresh house-made a flower tortilla. And I understand the lifelong Southern California that the approach with Tex-Mex is a flower tortilla primarily. That's right. And so I like, anytime I go to home state, anytime I've been the past, I get flower tortilla.

I did get one corn tortilla just to compare today. But yeah, the flower is the money tortilla, this is a regular. So good. It's good, yeah, I'm so fresh. I'm a flour over, where do you stand on this? It depends on the place. I think I agree that for home state,

I think flour is where it's at, their handmade, they're made fresh every day. I could eat a stack of 12 of them by myself. I fooled you guys into ordering me a dozen tortillas pretending like I was gonna share them, but I'm taking stack of 12 of them by myself. I fooled you guys into ordering me a dozen tortillas pretending like I was gonna share them, but I'm taking them home. They're so fucking good. Yeah.

Yeah, but if I'm eating like Mexican Mexican, like off of a truck Mexican, I want the tiny little almost holds nothing, but is the perfect size corn tortilla. Yeah, that's fair. I love the food. I love the food. It does make me feel like it does feel very much like a white

person thing to be like, I want the flour tortilla always. Okay, you're white. It's true. I like it. I can't help myself. I do think that you're right though. When you are in Taco truck and there are perfect scenarios where you do want that corn tortilla. And like also when I've gone to Guasados, I'm like, yeah, I always want that. I mean, they only have a corn tortilla, right? That's all you can get. If it's fresh, that's like,

oh, like whatever's fresh, I'll always try and ball. Cause you know, it's the fresh corn versus flour in a bag. I mean, that's a no brainer for me. If they're both in a bag, you know, whatever, I guess I generally prefer corn. But it, if they have their place, and I think the flow of your tea is here are great. And that's a big part of what's, I don't know,

it's like, I'm sure you have, you have stuff, and you have strong tastes on this place. But, but I, I, I, I'm not having a great sense of authentic, you know, what qualifies authentic textbacks. I will just say like say they seem to have put thought into every component on all of these menu items and that absolutely carries over in

their experience. I think for me, real text max like in things on things by itself, dip a bowl, add a bowl, and then the flour tortillas are a big part of it. I think the the sauces, the varying sauces that they have are like just right. Sure. And then honestly, like refried beans and red meat like po that those are also big part of text max for me. Yeah, and they do the beans here are great, just in general. My funny, my trajectory with homestay was that I didn't like it the first couple of times I had it

and not, hold on a second, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. I've grown up the same reaction to Enkanto. Oh! I put more so because I was just like, what is this? What the hell is this?

I didn't look at it. I don't know, see this in Quincy. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Quincy, we don't have these.

Michael, they're opening a home state. It's replacing grumpy whites, that actual restaurant that was in Quincy. Grumpy whites. Here's the thing about grumpy whites is that, Changton. It was good? Grumpy whites was good. It was my Nana's favorite restaurant. Oh, that's really sweet.

And we drove by it in Wigga. Possibly racist. Well, we drove by it in Wigga. It was like, hey, a restaurant named after you, because it was grumpy whites. And then you cried a single tear thinking about your name. I mean, I did make me think about my name.

But it's also the, I'll see if I can find you grumpy white himself. He was a real guy. He wasn't a real guy, but he was the mascot for the restaurant. But they had a great, they had a great, oh God, the texts to talk thing went up.

They had a great Buffalo chicken sandwich and a great chicken parm sandwich. Oh, like was grumpy real? Oh my God, was grumpy real? I think grumpy was real. Just made me think of when I lived in Brooklyn, there was this old man named whitey who would sit on his stoop. And then when he couldn't get down the steps anymore, I think his like daughter

in law or somebody would bring him down and he would just sit out there. Yeah, no teeth. And he would just like, cat call you. Yeah, like as you walked to the subway, he would just cat call the shit out of you. But in like the nicest way, and I lived there for like four years, so like by the end I was like, buddy's with him. I was like, hey, why did he be like, hey, sweetie,

you look great, your skirt's not tight enough today, but you look good. Yeah, I wouldn't have taken it from anybody else, but he was so sweet. Grumpy white is probably similar as my guess. That's, that was him on the sign. That's adorable. And then I do think that maybe he was, I think he maybe was,

because then there's this picture here. So that maybe that was. That might have been him. That might have been him. And I don't want to, you know, doxam or whatever. Right. Um, but photo was taken to the capital. The photo was not taken at the capital steps.

Oh, I was there. I didn't see. Oh, I mean, my comedy crew. Oh, man. Me and me and a buddy of mine did a couple sketches on the steps. Yeah, man. Woo. Woo. Me and a buddy of mine did a couple sketches on the steps. They weren't well received, it was so straight.

Let's talk about some of the stuff we had today. That was basically what my order was. I'll talk about those in a second, but we got a bunch of different things. Stephanie, was this your regular order? Sadly, yes. It was. That's a great order. I was thinking about,

because I've done breakfast there, and I've gotten like five tacos. I've gone way too much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you want to go hard because you think like, what's a little taco? A little taco.

Stuff those fuckers full of stuff. They stuff them full. They catch up on your quirk than you think. Yeah. My trajectory was I got like the bacon, like potato, egg and cheese one. And I do think that's good, and I now do still get it, but I was like, what's the big deal?

I've had like a better, you know, bacon, egg and cheese taco before, but then man, one of the Trinity, the one that also has potatoes in it. The Trinity, yes, that's correct. So, but once I get into the netches taco, I'm saying it. I'm fucking butchering that. I was trying the netches taco. Well, I just want to read that.

What's in there? Oh, I see it. I see in the description. This is the pasteurized, raised eggs, refried charo beans and cheddar. And then the beans. And I like that they have, you know, because I don't eat pork, but they have a black beans option,

which is basically available for everything. But they're charo beans, which are, they're like signature, they're default. They have as pinto beans, bacon, and monorage. And that's where I was like, I've heard they're fucking great. So that's where I was like, oh, I'm like, there it is, right?

Now I get it. And also, I probably didn't get text max just in general. I've never, we've had torches and I've had some text max, but I was like, when I was like, oh, it's so about this sort of thing. And I didn't order the brisket the first couple of times with the eggs, because I was like, that's strange. Now I love the brisket with the eggs.

Like, I came around big time to where I now love this place. I think this place is great. I think it's, I think it's, I'm being sincere. I think it is a great, great, great restaurant. Yeah, no, that's the truth. You are telling the truth. My fear is, is it going to expand? Because it's, it's, it's, it's, it's expanding.

There's one on the ocean side that's just opened up. So like, you know, it's, and that's pretty far a field from LA. So that's because of San Diego. But it's still, it's the the it really is the fresh ingredients that makes home state really what it is their ingredients are super high quality. I think if it were to expand like nationwide, that would be the thing that they would have to stick to would be like the quality of the ingredients because that's

sort of set from apart, I think, from other places. We talked about a lot. But you remember, I mean, I'm sure you remember, you know, you know Umami Burger, you're Umami Burger. And we've talked about that when they expanded. They went poorly and then now like, they're still open, but like, it feels like a shell of its former self. I've had to love it.

I used to love it. When I lived in Los Filos, I would go there, it was like special to go there. Oh, 100%. And then yeah, that magic is gone. Not saying that it can't be good still. When you would go there, it was like special to go there. Oh, 100%. And then yeah, something like that. That magic is gone. Not saying that it can't be good still. Would you still go outwigs or?

Well, the first off, they over, they over expanded a little bit, but I think they've made some corrections. There was a chef there for a time, who was a doe boy's listener who wrote into us, who talked about how they made a bunch of changes to their menu, and I think that was, before the last time we reviewed it.

And the last time we went, I think had a more positive experience, and what had been subsequently, like I think they was before the last time we reviewed it. The last time we went, I think had a more positive experience and what had been subsequently. I think they've kind of gone up and down. But your damage is right. The damage is from expanding. But I'm like, Jill Homestate do that. That's my kind of my fear of death, but it's still pretty small,

just in California. I think Stephanie's right, because the thing that happens now is that there's companies like Fran Smart that exists to take local chains and franchise them nationwide. That's what like a long guys did. That's what's day smart. I thought you were talking about my union president Smart Which so is good But if they're remaining like locally owned

and they're still like, you know, being really particular about how many locations they're growing to, that feels like they can control. Yeah, they're very involved in the business, I feel like, and it's too, it's like Latino owned and operated. There's like nothing that I don't like about this. That's great.

That's, that, and they've expanded a bit, like they were open just for breakfast. So I think this is, or like, you know, till like one PM. Breakfast and lunch. Well, they had that one Hollywood spot at first. And then everybody was going there. And then they started opening more places and it felt like things sort of like evened out

and they were able to handle more. But still sometimes on the weekend in the Highland Park, like you can't, you can't order delivery. Like you gotta go, go stand in the line. I was like, I don't know, Ray one, is it's like in a business park. It's like by I'm like I max headquarters and meta headquarters, it's like a weird sort of space,

but I went on a Sunday, it was fucking hot. Back of the lackin'. Yeah, people were still going out there. Yeah, four people in the business park seeing your fucking fallen down, ass walking through there, I'd be terrified. Have you had their like margaritas and stuff their polomas? No, I haven't had any their alcohol Is it good? Yeah, I say fallen down. You said falling down. I said falling down. No, you're you're correct Okay, good

For instance the Michael Douglas movie where he goes into killing spray. Yeah, sorry about me. Yeah, you're correct Okay, so here's your order, Stephanie. And correct me if I get anything wrong. Yes. The Frio, the Tijuana Panther, a big queso, doesn't or Tia's, which you specified were for sharing. And the Frito pie in a bag, which is a brisket chili, queso pickled onions, and no lettuce, no tomatoes, no sour cream, no pickled jalapeno.

Okay, so here is the only issue that I have with home state Mm-hmm. I am from Texas Friedo pie is what that would make you at a football game You would go to the little Concession stand you'd order a Frito pie and they would cut the top off the bag of Fritos dump in Hormel chili pump pump pump the Like gooey gooey nacho, and that was the Frito pie. Maybe if it was fancy place,

you'd get shredded cheese out of the bag. That's it. That's all the Frito pie should be. The fact that home state adds lettuce and tomato and onion, although I like their pickled onion and jalapenos, it's too fancy, it's too, it's too, it's too rich for my blood. It's a Loshka, perhaps.

Perhaps. I had it with all that stuff, and I'm, look, I too rich for my blood. It's a lot. It's a lot, perhaps. Perhaps. I had it with all that stuff and I'm not, look, I'm not a Texan. So I don't, I did like it, but it is, I will say like, you gotta, you do have to work through some lettuce. There is a lot. Yeah, I don't wanna work through my lettuce. Yeah. So I wanna like get into the brisket and the,

I think you're right. In freedom. I think there's a little too much. Maybe you can just pull out the lettuce. You can pull out the lettuce, yeah. The lettuce and tomato being gone, I think is, I think if you did the onion and the palipinear, you'd be fine.

That's what I'm saying. The palipinear's a little much for me, but yeah. I feel like those pickled onions a lot. They're so good. They're really good. And they sell them as a side. You just, do you just grab like a Friday night's lot? Not.

Friday night lights. Friday night, Friday night lights. I go. Ha ha ha ha ha. You just grab like a Friday night lights. Friday night. Friday night lights. I go. You just got like a Friday night lights scenario. Yeah, 100% oh my god. That was like all my and listen, I was like not cool in high school. Like I was straight edge. I wore dinkos. I had arms full of bracelets. I like had super short hair. But I was cool. We would all. But we don't go to football games. We would all go to football games. But we'd all go to football games.

And that was just part of the life. You'd go to football games, you'd hang out, you'd hang out on the bleachers and let the dude that you liked accidentally touched your boob with this elbow and not move. I still like that. It was my move.

But yeah, that was part of life there was like in being so American. It's such an, I grew up in such an American environment. Right. But I do remember that specifically when I ladies, he's me with my elbows out. She knows what I'm trying. Oh, it's a little sugar oven on his mind. Woo!

The, I have, but I have the specific thing, like, you know, because I went to high school football games in the marching band, but they had a, so it was cool, and they had a... Marching band, side note, the horniest of the horny guys. Like, they were, the marching band in my school was like, everyone was having sex. Music department's very horny.

Very horny. Yeah, it's fucking... They touched on that in American buy. This guy's very horny. Very horny. Guys, fucking. They touch on that American pie. This guy fucking slays over here. This guy. So, elbows everywhere. No, you and the Michael Douglass falling down since. So, I put a freedom pie specifically.

I connect to Friday night football games. Like, same exact same thing. A big fucking crock pot of chili, another one of like nacho cheese, and then just ladling that into a bag of fritos. Yeah. Wait, wait, wait, wait, what? You were eating fritos pies too? I'm saying that was my introduction to them,

and that is that they used to be at like, at football games, along the far, high. Oh really? I didn't realize that they didn't count for me too. I mean, think about the markup on it. On a frito pie. Especially if the chili and cheese are bad. Like, who do you really?

You're doing pretty good for yourself. That's what this is not your life. What is the Friday night line line? Oh, fuck, I should have brought it up. I thought it was really bad. I was trying to talk about the media. Cut it out, You cut it out. I've seen the movie.

I saw it. I mean, I, my, there was no experience like that after the football game, we get a hot dog. That's fun. We were one in 11 last year, your year. Yeah. And I was one of the worst players in North 20 football, football history. And I would, but we were get a hot dog at the end of the game, which is always very funny.

The way he said hot dog. Yeah, I talk like a fool, because I'm from Boston. That is the thing here. Hot dog. But a free hot dog at the end of the game. But I didn't even know what a free-dopeie was until probably maybe home state.

Really? I'm surprised. I'm surprised. The free-dopeie you got is the Refried Beans and the Monterey Jack. That's right. And then the two- a Panther is a, a band, it's a band apparently.

Yeah, it's shredded, shredded brisket queso, crispy potatoes and pico de gallo. And I got the Chicano Batman, which is a soy dello, crispy potatoes, or is it soy deo at guacamole in salsa verde, and then also the emo. So those are both vegetarian, you can get them vegan. And that one's black beans, guacamole, cabbage,

slop, pickled red onions. All delightful. I mean, I will say this, slop, pickled radonions. All delightful. I mean, I will say this is like, I expect this from a Mexican place, and I try to eat less meat these days generally, and that's partly why I went this direction, even though I've had, you know, their brisket in the past, and some of their proteins in the past,

I want them to be able to do like good Mexican food, because it feels like you can with all those components. And this place absolutely delivers, it's like a great indulgent experience for someone who doesn't eat meat. And I think with some of the options that you can with all those components. And this place absolutely delivers, it's like a great indulgent experience for someone who doesn't eat meat. And I think with some of the options that you can get vegan, I think even if you're a vegan, I think you can have a nice time at-

For greed. A greed. A home state. I'm looking up the Friday lights close. Jesus Christ. Mitch, you got a- What is a famous quote? Hmm.

You also got a Tijuana Panther. You got a, uh, uh, uh, Picadillo taco or Picadillo cut taco, which is beef, potatoes, carrots, cabbage, law, and picotahalapenos. And you lost your life as a song by train. The nature is what she's mentioned. Yeah, the netches, I love that netches taco. I always, every time I go there, I get it.

I will also, I'll get the brisket, but this is the first time I had, is it called the Panther? What is it called the panther? What is it called? Do you want a panther? Do you want a panther? And I like to quote it a bit. It's good.

It's good. It's good. I like to quote it a bit. It was good. I had a little, a little case though. I said it on that. Yeah. I'm a fool.

I didn't do it, but you didn't see me with that big case with dripping everything all on my face. I was like, I love that. So they have a red sauce and a Verde, Jesus. I couldn't think of Verde. Verde sauce. Verde.

Verde. That was pretty good. That was pretty good. Verde. Yeah. Oh, God. I'm not gonna try it again, but I did go. It's for, no, if it's meant, it just says green sauce.

So you can say green sauce. I didn't have to do any of this. I made a fool of myself. Greg and Ellen, why don't you make a little little drop of that. That that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that glasses of white wine. He puts his elbow right on our tip. That's the old L1 the tip. No better way to start things. Get things going. Man, when I was 16, that was the move though. I'm sure. Oh, of course. An accidental accident. Remember that?

Touching. Well, me, no. Personally, I don't remember it. I wish. But you're elbowing your own. Like, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I'm out of my own time. I can't even do that. Can't even do that. Why? I can't even do it. Casey, you had a few items. Any thoughts on yours, Trinity Apaco's, the Dipache? Yeah. I usually eat breakfast tacos when I go to home state. And I got a couple of favorites. They were great.

And I got the Dipache, which is what I've been drinking. It's pretty good. I, never had this before. It's like a pineapple spice. Yeah, probiotic. Really good. They do have a lot of great, you know, they have alcohol, but they also have a lot of great non-alcoholic drinks.

Yes, I got a Mexican Coke, because it's the real sugar Coke, which there's a real difference, I think, between regular Coke and the Mexican Coke. I agree with that, but you know what? You know what, I've got myself in so much trouble. What am I doing? What, just go ahead. I like, I think, can of Coke you know what? You know what? I've got myself in so much trouble. What am I doing? Just go ahead.

I like, I think can of coke is my favorite. You love the can of coke. I think can of coke is my favorite. You know, my dad really loved the can of coke too. There's something he said. There's something about the way that it tasted in the can. We've talked about this before, but McDonald's Fountain Coke is maybe the thing

that beats it for me. Well, you know that they have a special recipe. Special canister. They got, they got, we're, there's more sugar in their coke pool. Oh, they got, they have specialized canisters for the McDonald's Coke. We, I think we've done an episode about this.

I should have warned you how stupid this show was before you came in. I'm involved in the conversation here. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what chumps you guys have coming on this show, but I'm into food. I like, like, eat it. There was a long time when I didn't know what you're talking about. I don't know what Trump's you guys have coming on this show, but I'm into food. I like to eat it. There was a long time when I didn't like it.

And it's so joyful for me to talk about food in this way. It's appealing. So thank you guys. That is great. That is, we've talked about it before. I sometimes indulge too much. And Nick, as I'm sure you feel the same way sometimes. For sure.

But I think it's our, and this is maybe not a good thing. I think it's our greatest pleasure. I think it's an amazing pleasure. Yeah. Food is such an incredible. It should, it should be number one, because it is not, it might be number one, because it's way more satisfying than sex.

It just is. Like, with sex, I think you have to like, you either have to be a role into the kink and a specific type of kink that like just does it for you right away. Or you gotta be really into the person that you're with. And that can be tricky, especially when you're still dating or when you're married.

Right, either way. A hundred percent. A food, food is often. It's always mostly good. You know what it's bad, it's good. good. He's not as bad as kids. Even as bad. Wow, you know. But when it's really good, it's otherworldly.

I cried. I cried sometimes, like at meals. Like when we were in Japan for our honeymoon, there were multiple meals where I was crying. Wow. Crying, because it was so good. What can you give us one example? Well, I'll give you one here in LA that you should go to

Q Sushi in real life. Okay. No, I have it. They only seat like six people a night. It's basically like what he Omakase, so what he wants to give you. But I have twice, I've sat at that counter, and like tears have rolled out of my eyes,

like uncontrollably. Like that part in spirit of the way when she eats the own aegiri and tears come out of her eyes, that's how I felt. I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, like I had no other way to express how I felt. I was just so full of gratitude and like moved by the food, you know,

like, and I just wanted to eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat. Like, it was so, like, I love food. That's, I want, I want to try this place. You gotta go there. You gotta go there. It's awesome. Mitchy's seen Sparrow in a way? I have, yeah.

Do you, you will watch an animated movie? Ha. Bring the face. I'll watch it if it's non-singing. That's what he's saying. No music in it. I'm watching in Conto. I'm going to watch it. I'm very excited to watch it. I'll watch it with you.

Look, there's tons of classics. This is what I actually do. This is a TV screen. Look, there's tons of classics. All right, we just let you know. This is a TV screen. Look, there's plenty of classics I haven't seen. So, and that's one of them. Yeah, I haven't seen, there's like Disney classics that you haven't seen. Oh, yeah, you know, I haven't seen,

I haven't seen some Disney classics. I have never seen Princess and the Frog. I get to see that. I was older at that. It's great. I know I get it. Like, all the ones that I was older, I haven never seen Princess in the Frog. I gotta see that. I was older at that. It's great. I know I get it. A lot of the ones that I was older, I haven't seen. I am afraid to list them because it makes me sound like

a white guy who thinks it's the same. Oh my God! It makes me sound like, but Princess in the Frog, and I don't think I saw Mulan. I was an older kid. You didn't see Mulan? No, no, I don't think it's that fun. Yeah, I gotta see it.

There's a few I gotta see. And that's from the days when I loved Disney stuff too. But, look, I've embarrassed myself too much here, but I wanna get back to a quote of, Friday and I lights, because you looked it up. No, I actually, I never found it. But when people say like, like, pizza's like sex, even when it's bad, it's good.

I'm like, that's not true. It's true now. It's not true. I'll give it to pizza, even if it's bad. I'm like, that's not true. It's not true. Pizza, I'll give it to pizza. Even if it's bad, I'm like, yeah. That's bad pizza, I can suck. That's not true. It's a bad saying.

It's a bad saying. It's only true about the Harold. It's a terrible. It's a terrible. It's a terrible. It's a terrible. It's a terrible. The Harold is an improv. It's long for him. As Tarna Halpern will said, the Harold. Oh, he sucks. He sucks.

Who is the Harold? The Harold is an improv, it's long form. It's an improv form. And Tarna Halpern wrote this book, Truth and Comedy, and in the book she says, she says, the Harold is like pizza and sex. When it's bad, it's still pretty good. Which is the least true of improv comedy.

Yeah. It's the least true of all three of us. Yeah, I think that's a little worse. Yeah. I have a really hard time watching improv comedy. I've done improv comedy. I can't watch improv comedy. I have a really, like I, like, sometimes I cringe so hard, like it feels like I'm

gonna throw out my neck. Like, it's really hard for me to watch. Oh, I don't think you're saying many scenes with the Pope boy. I don't think I'm. Welcome to Pope boy. Can you show a book? What would you like on your Pope boy?

I want to do that. I'm sorry. We're gonna take one more break. We're right back with our fork scores right after this. What's up everybody? It's your boy the spoon man. Wags, the most important people in my life, and I don't really people, my cats, Wally and Irma, are dining like royalty things to our next sponsor, Smalls.

Smalls cat food is protein packed and made with preservative free ingredients you'd find in your fridge, and it's delivered right to your door. Wags, do you remember how stinky and smelly my old cat food was? I can answer that in two letters, PU. Yeah, I don't want PUs, I want meows. And with my old sticky food, I was getting PUs. It's right, I used to leave the house smelling like cat food. I come to the studio, it's stink like cat food. Now you can finally open a packet of cat food

and not get nauseous. Yeah, actually, and I do too, recognize the ingredients in a packet of smalls food. Yep, smalls food was started back in 2017 by a couple of guys, home-cooking cat food and small batches for their friends. A few short years later, they've served millions of meals to hundreds of thousands of cats around the world.

After making the switch to smalls, cat owners are seeing some big improvements in their cats. 78% of cat owners reported their cats had shinier and softer fur and 90% reported overall health improvements. Wags, Wally numbers, coats, they're so soft and smooth. I grab them. They pop out of my hands. Be careful.

Luckily, they always land on their feet. The team at Smalls is so confident your cat will love their product that you can try at risk free.

So Stephanie, here's how this will work. We will each go around, give a closing argument, if you will, sort of a summation of your thoughts on this chain based on this experience based on a lifetime of experiences and end that by giving it a score from zero to five forks. Five is the highest. Five is our platinum play club Okay, so if it's four or above it's golden play club, right?

But we're gonna let you start. We'll let you we'll let you begin as you are the guest Okay, tell me again I have to summarize my experience. Yeah, just kind of give an overall like like assessment like closing argument about this chain and then give it a forks score. Okay. So beyond the values of the of the business which I think are really high, they treat everyone that works very well. Again, Latina owned beyond that part which I really love supporting a small business that has basically grown from her dreams. I just think the food is always solid. It's always, always, always exactly what is on the menu. That's what you're gonna get. It's always like, the ingredients are really,

really high quality. You can just tell that every single ingredient they care, I love the size of the tacos. They always feel like, like, they're wrapped in foil and they have this little washi tape on them that usually has the name of the taco printed on it. And when you get it out of the bag, it just feels like a little warm, delightful present

that you're gonna get to unwrap. For me, because it's attached to some of my personal happiest memories, and because it reminds me of my home state, I'm gonna go ahead and give it a five. Five, four, wow. Wow, I think it's a good score. I think what you said about the tacos being stuffed,

even though they're tiny, being stuffed with, like filled to the brim with eggs and cheese and beans. And honestly, you could eat two of them and be good. I've eaten five of them too. But why, I didn't even talk about everything, I got a cool down drink, there's a cool down, it was great, it was like a topo chico and some lemon and lime, it was fantastic.

It was a delicious spritzer, it would've been great in the bayou, if you drank it down there, it would've cooled you down a little bit. So you're some sort of po-boy came. Hi. Right. You need to cool down. That would be, that would, that, it was, it was great.

And, and I've seen them get bigger, like, not saying expansion wise, but like, you've seen, I've seen them, uh, expand their menu a little bit, try new things and they always kind of knock it out the park. Uh, the net chase taco was good. I had the, I had the pica dillot taco as well, which was, I also had the Tijuana Panther. The pica dill was good. It was, I think it's ground meat and some slaw.

Yes. Tasty, tasty taco. I had the, what does it call, Fritos on the bag? What does that have? Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie on the bag.

That's just Fritos. F bag, what is that? Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie.

Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie.

Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie. Frito pie.. Frito pie. Frito pie.. because I'm trying to win good favor, I think it's a five-fourker-wise.

Wow. How can it not be a five-fourker? How could it not be? Well, it falls to me to decide. Look, I think like there's some stuff of like... The power. It's true. Here at the Gatekeeper in this particular area.

Do I wish there was like one extra salsa to dip your chips in besides the red and green maybe? Interesting feedback you could give them that they probably would respond to. That's true. You know what? I might have peeked a guy out. They might have an option like that that I don't know about. I mean, they have peeked a guy out on some of their terms.

I'm sure you can probably get a side of it. That's that sort of thing. Now that they've expanded a little bit and I know my fears of them expanding more and losing the kind of magic that they have. Restaurant business is hard. Wags, I was back in Quincy. We owned a restaurant, my godfather's son, you know, my god brother owns a restaurant,

Fat Cat. He made the best wings ever. We were, we went to Costa Rica. Yeah. And he, and he, and we got some wings on there called Roja wings, which they basically, Red Wine Vinegar was like a part of it in hot sauce.

And Neil did like his version of them at the fat cat, and it was the best way I've ever had. Roha wings, he's got to put them on the menu. Had a great meal at Townsend too. I get to give a couple of shout outs because we just talked about Crumpy Weigh. It's Townsend, great meal in Townsend and Quincy. But having a restaurant like that is not easy

and then having multiple locations where it seems like the quality control, like you're saying, is top of the line. That's a hard thing to do. I think it's a five, I think it's a five forker. Five forks, wow. I think that you, I'll see what you do. While you're giving shout outs,

I want to shout out a listener and met named Jesse today on the picket line. I was out on the list where we were talking and then he told me shout out a listener I met named Jesse today on the picket line. Is that only where we were talking? And then he told me he was a listener after we had a little bit of conversation, which was nice. But he was talking about a sandwich shop that's over on in Culver called Monro Place. And it was just like, oh, this is like the hot new sandwich shop. And there was a time when home state was like, oh, this is the new cool L.A. restaurant.

This is a hot new spot. A lot of times that happens and you either have the, you know, it did, hey, you could have the umami scenario, you can have the exaggerated version of that, the heightened version, that the pinkberry scenario where it was like, oh, this is this cool local thing that wildly over expanded and loses all of its magic. Home state in the, it's 10 years of operation,

feels like it still like has that same level of quality that you would have if you were trying it back in 2013. And I was particularly impressed when I went to Playa Del Rey location. And again, in an office park, it's the kind of one, if they were gonna water down the experience a little bit, you might start to see it,

the end start to fray there. But it wasn't, it was completely solid. It was like, it was just like as executed as well as the home state we had today. I really like their wide variety of vegetarian options. I think that's great. I really like that they have a really good version of free to pie on the menu because that's such a great indulgence for me. I'm thinking of this place in terms of, like, let's say we what Mitch, because we go on the road and we review local spots. This is the kind of spot

like if home state was in Portland and they had six locations, we wanted to go to Portland, people like you got to review home state. And like if I went there to a road show and I was honestly assessing it, I wasn't trying to panor to an audience, I think I would still land at five forks.

So welcome to Platinum Plate Club, home state. Congratulations. Wow. The hallowed home. That's how many. What do you think? At this point, 20 for astronauts, maybe still not a ton. Not a ton.

We've done fucking four hundred episodes. Yeah, they do. They do? On a second try, they get ejected. Yeah, they get ejected for some bullshit too. Some bullshit. Well, yeah, they really get a jackpot. Yeah, they they they get ejected for for some bullshit to the bull bullshit. Well, yeah, they really pull bullshit then bye. Yeah. Yeah. The medical stuff we like we like toss bud light out of the That's not true.

Quincy folks probably drink bud Light all day every day. Look at Bud Light. Um, uh, Wags, I, I, I think it's, I think it deserves it. I want to say this. I didn't say it. I do think I prefer breakfast there over lunch talk. We didn't talk about that enough. Their breakfast is fucking breakfast. Their breakfast is so good.

Their breakfast is so good. Their breakfast is good. That's interesting that you say that because I prefer a dinner situation. Wow. Okay. Oh, wow. Okay. That's fair that you say that because I prefer a dinner situation. Wow. Wow. Wow. Okay. Fair enough.

That's fair enough. They do have great cocktails. They do have great cocktails. Like I said, I had a non-apocalyptic cocktail, but great cocktails all around. Why is I met two listeners at the airport, Eric and Caroline, maybe Caroline, but she writes on hacks. Oh, that's awesome. I think Eric is a lawyer.

I forgot what Eric did. I don't know. I, she was in my business awesome. I think Eric is a lawyer. I forgot what Eric did. I don't know. She was in my business, so I didn't give a shit about him. But she's a writer, actually, is on the picket line, and they were both very sweet, nice people. Yeah, I met a number of writers who are Doboy's listeners. Jesus.

You wonder why we've exited the era of peak TV. I remember some Brooklyn writers talking about Dobois. I think early days. Well, the commissioner, Evan Susser, is, was a writer on on Brooklyn. He's our commissioner. Unfortunately, there was a lot of bullshit overlapped with that show. David Phillips, who was a deli boy. Or, or himself. Or himself came on that show. David Phillips, who is a deli boy. Gorg, Gorg himself.

I'm fucking up over here wise. I choose chocolate. Yeah, I like chocolate. I don't dislike vanilla. I don't dislike chocolate. I gave him a hard time a long time ago because he's a boring man and he loves vanilla. So I thought it was funny, but vanilla is good. There's a Boston cooler drink my mom would make with ginger ale

with a scoop of vanilla in it. Fantastic. It's a great drink. A great, I mean ice cream drink. It's great. I like vanilla. I Do also love 15 mean jokes about why people Sound like yeah Mark Walberg you like put him in a Boston cooler. It sounds like you probably did something like that

What I didn't do it. I'm just saying like it does. I love her, did it, you guys. It seems like a bad thing. Yeah. I saw Mark Walberg on the Fox side and he said, hey, nice jacket. I was wearing red socks jacket.

So he's always like, hey, how's your mother? Say how do you know? All right, next topic of the chocolate. Chocolate. I the chocolate. I like chocolate. Soft serve or hard? Is that what you call non-soft serve hard ice cream? Soft serve or hard?

Soft serve or hard? Oh yeah. Oh, this is hard. Oh yeah. I guess hard? I guess this goes against everything I stand for but hard. Hard. I can't goes against everything I stand for, but hard. Hard. I'm gonna vote hard only because maybe someone will make me mad at me going, I'm gonna vote hard.

It's unanimous. Next topic, couple or cone. Gone. Gone. Look, I know what he's saying. No, I'm gonna take cone. It depends on the cone. That's the thing.

It does. It does. It does. I'd rather have a cop than a shitty cone. It's really? Those little shitty cones that come in the thing when they're like, Styrofoam-y? No.

That's what I know. I would say more than depends on the cone. I would take cone always, but I think it more, for me, depends on the scenario. Like, cone is just hard to, it's hard to travel with the cone. If you're driving, if I'm driving with a cone, driving and eating ice cream, I have done that before it's tricky.

What's tricky to eat with a fucking spoon and a cup of your dryness? What are you doing with that? We're exactly full. What are you fucking eating? You tell me you don't like improv, come on. That's great. When you give a head, no. No, it's like improv coming. That's great. When you give a head, oh no. Oh no, so I can see.

I'm wanting the, I'm wanting the Pobo King's car. Let me drive it. Ah. Oh my God. Okay, cone wins. So we have a subtopic waffle cone or wafer cone. Waffle cone, come on, come on. Come on. Wafer cone.

Hard. This one is, I've also known wafer cones as sugar cones. I don't know if I can even say anything. Okay, this one, I think is a good one. Mint chocolate chip, white or green? Green, baby. Green. Give me that curmin. The fuck is even mint chocolate chip white or green green baby green That karmic the fuck is even Yeah, white white I'd be pissed white mint chocolate chip. Why come on. I've had some good

Like the like it's you know, you go to sometimes like a Like a fancy place. Yeah, that's not it. That's not a 31 flavors right? Like a fancy place. Yeah, like a fresh mint. That's not a, that's not 31 flavors. Right. Yeah. That's fancy ass shit. Come on.

I think I, I think I, I think I get that. I'm still going white here. I think I might remember the puppet movie. Do you remember the Muppet movie? Yeah. One of my favorite movies. Which one? The original Muppet movie.

So current, he gets like a fly ice cream, but it's green. And it always looks so good. I know that it maybe is fly flavored, but it looks fantastic. He's a frog. Well, he's a frog. Yeah, so he would like it, but I'm saying the actual ice cream in the movie looks so good. Guys adorable to me that that's what you noticed, those kids who are like, how ex-quee-ly good.

I'm gonna try to find a picture of it. Please do. I'm also gonna try to find that quote. Please do. I remember, you know what, I remember from the Muppet movies? What's that? Hot Janice with the big lips.

Yeah, she was a child. She was a babe. Yeah, she was, she definitely. Well, Miss Piggy also is pretty hot. Miss Piggy was cute, but she was a very high maintenance. Yeah. Janice was like, I'll live in a locker at the airport, like, I don't know to be explicit if it's cool.

No, what Muppet would you, did you wanna? Bone. Bone. So I kind of have, as I've talked about, that's kind of like my pop culture blind spot. I don't have, you know, you know, I'm not on the Muppet man. That's right, he's, he's, he's,

you still haven't seen Muppet movie. No, I've seen what the Muppet movie, the Muppet movies, I've seen we've watched on the podcast watch muppet treasure island which I loved Oh, you didn't see the other like you didn't see the muppet movie. No, I haven't seen it. No, I gotta watch it I got watch them all I'm gonna watch them all great muppet paper the great muppet paper is great I have a pact with Griffin Newman to the blank check podcast. He's going to watch all the the despicable me movies when I watch all of the muppet movies, so we're both gonna carry out when I watch all of them up in movies so we're both going to carry out. Never.

I'm going to do it. They can see in all this pickle with me movies. He's gone along to those as well. Which is a good thing. It's a good thing. I went alone to see Brelarsson in room. Everyone has their tastes. Here's my issue with room. I've said this before. The room looked nice. The room was nice. The room didn't know I'm saying the room didn't look that bad. Well, she had to keep it nice. She was in there for like a long time. It's a good point.

Yeah, she's keeping it tidy and it's all she had to do. It's a great point. I never thought of that. You said that the movie was trying to say. Yeah. Okay, this is a good one. Chocolate or rainbow sprinkles. Rainbow sprinkles.

Chocolate sprinkles. This isinkles. Chocolate sprinkles. This is why I would make a great director and producer because I make a decision fast and that's good. Yeah, and also you know what? That looks better on screen. The sprinkles look. That is a great point. The rainbow sprinkles look better on screen.

Chocolate sprinkles for me. I like chocolate sprinkles. Rainbow sprinkles make me think of birthday flavor and I love birthday flavor. And at any time, I kind of a celebration sort of dessert, that's a treat for me, so I go rainbow. Okay, really? Yeah, I think so.

Min chocolate chip with, well, I'm not putting sprinkles on the chip. I'm not putting sprinkles on min chocolate chip. I'll put this, you're ready. No. Min chocolate chip, we call, well, I'm not gonna get into this. Min chocolate chip, they were called Jimmy's embossed,

and then there was questions of whether that was racist term, it's not a racist term. But that's what they call chocolate sprinkles at Brigham's. But I would put those on the minchacl chip ice cream. Chocolate sprinkles on minchacl chip. It was, I can see how that would be. It was my favorite. That would maybe be the only iteration

that I would use them in. Yeah, and then the rainbow sprinkles, I'm like, that to me is like, what ice cream does that work well with? Vanilla. Yeah. Fucking, bubble gum. Yeah, all right, that's fair.

Like fruity, a fruity flavor. Yeah, like a, like a, but chocolate sprinkles are my, those are my, those are, I think those are, those, that for me works more. I'm more, but that makes sense. You guys are more, you guys are more vanilla- You have the more refined palate and you.

We'll just eat whatever chocolate, fucking nonsense, ice cream garbage. How do I get so scared? There's always having to be. I was thinking it. Your friend is here. Yeah, it is true. Yeah, it is true.

It is true. I'm still looking up the card on ice cream. Have you played Disney Dream Light Valley? I haven't, but I did a voice fight. I know your voice, I saw your voice got added to it. It's DLC. Yeah. It's fun.

I've heard, I've heard. It was a weird one though, doing recording that one was weird because I was like, explain to me what this is. They're like, it's its own world. And I was like, what? Like I didn't know how to take direction for it, but hopefully it's on it okay.

You play video games at all? Not really. It's a, so there's this game't know how to take direction for it, but hopefully it's on it, okay. You play video games at all? Not really. So there's this game called Stardew Valley that was very popular and it's kind of like a life slash farming slash building sims. You live in a town and Disney dream life alley is derivative of that, but it has its own spin on it. It has all the, you know, Disney IP and characters.

It's a bunch of little magic like things that you can do and find, yeah. So you go around, you know, you can fish, you can collect wood, you know, Disney, IP, and characters. It's like a bunch of little magic, like, things that you can do and find, yeah. So you go around, you know, you can fish, you can collect wood, you can collect fruit, you can cook, you know, it's like, it's all the stuff that animal crossing is a better animal. So that's all that sort of stuff,

but it's really well done. I never, in high school, my job was to sit on the couch with all my dude friends and talk shit while they played the video game. That was my job. That's fun. Yeah, and it was a good job. I liked that job. It was better to be that than the snack Getter, which you know like I wasn't gonna do. Did you find the big? I think this is Fuzzy holding Kermit's ice cream From the looks like min chocolate chip from far away. It looks like min chocolate. It looks like min chocolate chip It's a good moment.

How am I flopping all around more when you're saying, have you ever played Disney starlight value or what? Do you have a light value? You have a Disney heroine, that's nice. That was true. We've had this. What this man should be embarrassed is what I'm saying. This is now a triforce of Disney heroines.

We've had on the show. Sarah Silverman, Vanilla Thes. Wow. We had a Cristella Lanzo, Cruz Ramirez from Carstray. Yeah. And now it's, we're completing the trilogy. It's unbelievable. The father's son and me, the Holy Ghost.

Who's by disappear? And I'm kind of like the visual representation for what's his name, Big Pete? Who's a guy who's Kerm up. Sully from Monsters Inc. Is that a good thing? Big P you know, the fat Pete. I think his name is the guy who's I know you mean yeah, Mickey's it's Mickey's Mickey's rival rival. Oh yeah. No, his name's not Pete. Isn't that Pete? I think it's, it's something else. I think it's him. Oh, is it

Mickey oh boy Pete There is a Pete and I think he's just called Pete is it just I think it's a big He's a big thing. I think they don't need fat. Yeah, it is him this guy, right? Yeah I'm talking about Pete. Yeah, he It's Pete. He's so mean. He's such a mean guy. He has a jerk. You could rock this wardrobe, though, man. He really could.

You'd look right in that sweater. A bowler's cap in a sweater. You'd be surprised. He's my style. I think he might be my style. I'll put the icon. He's fat Pete. We got a few more here.

Unusual flavors are stick to the basics. Stick to the basics. Stick to the basics. Stick to the basics. Though you saying bubblegum ice cream made me wanna have some bubblegum ice cream. I don't have ice cream, so if done right, it's delicious. Also, I like a cheesecake sometimes,

or a weird, who does the one? There's a place here in LA that does the one that's goat cheese with like, these certain berries that you can only get at a certain time a year, I'm gonna go with like fancy flavors sometimes. I think they're really fun. What's your favorite fancy ice cream shops?

Are you ban loon? Yeah, you're Jenny's. You get salt and straws. I love Jenny's. I love Jenny's. I like Jenny's. Salt and straws, okay. I'm a regular forest.

I love Jenny. I love Jenny. What are my favorite movies growing up? I loved it. It's they's gotten some like backlash now because people are like, it's bad. I'm singing a song here. I love that movie. It's great. Yeah. I like forest. And I like, you know what? I like bubblegumps as well. We did have a good time in the bubblegum. I'm sure my company.

Did you go? Yeah. Nice. It's great. It's good time. I would eat there. Yeah, by episode 417 we've the bubble gum, sure. I'm coming. You go. Nice. That's great. It's a good time. I would eat there. Yeah, by episode 417, we've reviewed bubble gum. So bubble gum. All right.

Toppings galore or none? I'd rather go none. I'd rather go none too. Yeah. Yeah, I guess if those are our options, like too many toppings or zero toppings, I guess I'm going zero top toppings. Hot toppings, yeah. Ice cream that's been left in the freezer

for an extended period of time with freezer burn, okay to eat. Yes. Yeah, it's a little bit of a bummer, but yes. It's not ideal, but you gotta work with what you got. Yeah, you gotta, if you want ice cream and you got it in your freezer, what kind of fucking monster are you that you're like,

no, freezer burn. Although if you're looking for a reason to eat healthy, that can be a good excuse to like exert some self control. Maybe, maybe, I always think like you should be able to have everything that you want whenever you want, as long as you don't hurt yourself. That's a great idea. I like that.

Whatever you want, whatever you want. Just don't hurt yourself. That's a great way to do it. You're good. All right, final one. Ice cream in the winter, yes or no. Yeah, baby. It's easy.

Yeah. Oh, really? What? Come on. But particularly great with like a warm piece of pie and ice cream on top. Oh, my goodness. That's a great call. Right?

What a mix of the mix of hot and cold. Oh, that hot crust and then the melty, melty. Mm-hmm. A song of fire and ice that's what I like it. That's what I like the menu item right there a song of fire and Hey, we'll be that at the fucking when we did go to the fucking stupid game of thrones restaurant I have a song 600 I mean if I don't know if it exists but but- I would come back for that. It exists, of course it exists. The fucking- Is it really? Yeah, it's called medieval times. Oh.

Ha ha ha ha. Sadly, we have gone- We have, we have, we have medieval times. Not only have we gone to those times, we've gone to Pirates Dinner Adventure. Yes, Pirates Dinner Adventure. Ah! Medieval times, or talking about labor,

has been on strike for some time. Have they really? Yeah, those, doing that. That's right. Yeah. Medieval times, or talking about labor, has been on strike for some time. Have they really? Yeah, because they have some pretty unsafe working conditions and I guess there's some animal mistreatment. It's kind of a bomber. Oh gosh. Yes. But it was a fantastic show.

When you see it and those performers should be compensated, not rated under-shape conditions. I don't think they get their shit together with those producers because that's a fun. It's a fun. It's a fun. It's a fucking blast. It's like a kid's dream.

You got a medieval times a pirate's dinner adventure. There's some anime stream when I go in there and get those turkey legs. Go to town. Did you go to the Renfair when it was here? I've been to the Renfair before with my ex-girlfriend. We went to the Renfair and this is now probably 10 years ago, but I actually did love it. It was a blast.

So much. It was a good time. You were a man. Don't want to show up, you're early. I can't believe that. No one's still this idea, but I really want to do a series where the office meets Renfair. That's fine.

It's like the underpump rules where there's a bunch of drama. I'm sure that there is. I feel like that's a very, I think that's a point. I wanna play the character that's like, she's got like a weird accent. Everyone thinks it's real. And she's been doing it for like 10 years now.

And like, She's talked to that guy about that. Right? Did you do a fake accent for a long time? Oh, yeah, all of ath grade. I talked to the fake voice. Oh, the fake voice! What was it do it?

Do it, do it, do it. Well, I can't really do it. Oh my god, I was like, I've ever heard it. It was like, I was like, I was like, I talked in a fake voice. Oh, it was a fake voice! What was it do it do it do it do it. Okay, well I can't really do it. Oh my god, I was like I've ever heard it. It was like I was like I was like my eyes and I'm just getting very serious. I did like a very gutter old voice. It was like I had to talk like I was talking like this. It was like me and Rosé.

It was like yeah, it was like Rosé, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was like a really like a much deeper, weirder voice. And I just did it like in class like day one. Oh my god. And it got a laugh and they just committed to it. I have to tell you this. Yeah.

So when I auditioned for Brooklyn I had been teaching workout classes and I had been screaming at the top of my lungs like teaching these classes. And so I got that audition and I was like, fuck, my voice is fucked. So what I did was drop my voice into a lower register and audition with that voice. Wow, wow. And they liked it. And then when we shot the pilot, my voice into a lower register and audition with that voice. Wow, wow.

And they liked it. And then when we shot the pilot, my voice was back to normal. So I was like trying to find it again. Yeah. And people on fucking online will be like, she doesn't want to, like voices doesn't like, isn't good, but when I'm like,

motherfucker, I was like trying to make money. And like my voice was fucked up, but like it didn't mess like, but that's why, that's why the voice was like, that's my voice cracks right now. That's why the voice was like that. Yeah, so your voice wasn't like Buffalo Bills. I mean, you didn't do it for a full year and eighth grade.

You must have had people think that was your real voice, though, which is in the show. People still think it's the real voice. People were like, people, for the first couple seasons of Brooklyn, I remember people would meet me and they would get like, actually mad. They'd be really mad. Because I'm not that person.

And they felt bamboozled. That's crazy. They felt bamboozled. And I understand, because like, people are so used to reality TV that they want the characters that they see on TV to be that way and real life. Those fools, yeah. Yeah.

By the way, run fair, I would guess also probably secretly horny, like bands. TV to be that way and real real life. Those fools, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. By the way, run fair, I would guess also probably secretly horny like the like bands. Oh my god. Oh, for the horny. Oh, overtly. Like those people would travel around and care of bands. Like they're all fucking each other.

There's so there's so much drama behind the scenes. It's a great. And those bodices and stuff. Like everyone's tits around. Like I'm sweating. Elbows going out. You know, I People don't know my voice outside of the the podcast which is it's really high Oh I know about me when I get off the podcast. This is what I sound like.

A regular old bloke. That's crazy. I would have when I was doing this in eighth grade, because we had, you know, this was before a cell phone, so we had a landline phone. And if someone would call the house and they'd call for me, like, I'd pick it, I'd pick it up because I'd talk to the regular voice about my family. And so I'd pick up the phone and make hello and they'd be like, oh, is Nick there?

And be like, yeah, one second. And then walk away from the phone and come back and was like Ah, you got me Just came back a clean slate because everyone just gave you the clean slate Yeah, I went from middle school to high school and the bus letter and true But also like I think everyone was just like yeah, we knew but a reinvention of sorts I had one guy came up to me once or one of my friend my friend Andy came up to me after that He was like, ah, that's a good fit man.

I'm really committed. I love it. That's like that's that guy just was looking to not get fucking She's a scry. You know that that's what that was. I that is insane you did for a full year. You're out of your mind. It's a real commitment.

His family's normal. His family's like funny and nice. No mind, so there's yours. Yeah, that's true. Here we are. Okay. Hey, just like a restaurant, I have your feedback, let's open up to the feedback.

And today we have an email from KDR, KDR writes, some very nice stuff. Thank you, KDR for writing that. And also as a question, what are your favorite accidental food combinations? My boyfriend and brother-in-law who also love doughboys, hate when their food touches on a plate, but I don't mind it so much. I love when I get a little Spanish rice in with my enchiladas or a little BBQ sauce with

my potato salad. I don't intentionally mix food together, but sometimes it's a nice flavorful combination to change the meal for a second. Are there any flavor, accident, prone plates? Y'all are on board for. I don't know that's an accident, I mean, I guess it is. Yeah. Well, I used to be really picky about my food touching

when I was a kid and I completely got over that now. I don't give a shit at all. Like I'm fine with everything touching. Yeah. My grandma used to make me a little, like a bird's nest. Is that what you call that? I think you call it a bird's nest where you mash potatoes and then put it on the middle.

And then peas and gravy in the middle. And I loved that. But that's not accidental. Yeah. Accidental. I think it's called the Burrsness where you mash potatoes and then peas and gravy in the middle. And I love that, but that's not accidental. Yeah, accidental. Well, look, I've said this before, you know, you're having like a little honey butter biscuit and some fried chicken. Well, the honey gets on that fried chicken.

Oh, 100%. That's delightful. That's delightful. I think that's, you know what, it's probably with stuff like that. Like, like, like syrup, you know, like syrup touching some of your bacon or something like that.

But I don't want syrup on my scrambled eggs. No, no, no, no. But on, but on like some sort of breakfast meat, that's fine. What if you had like, jam on a sandwich? I want a mitch. I'm not gonna give it to you. Jesus. Is it that you don't want sweet near your eggs?

Yeah, I think I don't love that. We just think jam on a sandwich. Well, I make a sandwich that's like two, like, like, egg-o-waffles, but they're not egg, they're like paleo-waffles, and then I make a- That's fun. Then scrambled eggs, and then jelly, jam on both of the waffles, and then a chicken sausage patty.

And I just eat that, walking out the door. That kicks ass. It kicks ass. It reminds me of Mrs. Tufo used to make, she would make a bagel, she buttered the bagel, then she put on cream cheese, and then she put jelly on top. Jelly on top.

My dad did that same thing. That's fucking wild. I would eat that before school. That's an alpha moon. I do like. Yeah, that's fucking great. Fuck. You ate that before school?

Yeah, I know. Damn. Why does my stomach hurt after pee? No. No connection to why. What I was putting in my? Yeah, I know. Damn. Why does my stomach hurt after pee? No. No connection to why. What I was putting in my body now, I felt. Yeah, like, okay, so the barbecue sauce, I think the big, the big BBQ plate,

like a meat and threes or something like that. And anytime you got any sort of sauce that's, that can always intermingle life you like with all the sides. Like, I don't mind, I don't mind it on mac and cheese, I don't mind it on potato salad, I don't mind it on a coleslaw. Like, any, any place barbecue sauce is sauces is spraying, I'm fine with that.

I'm trying to think of other examples. Like accidental. Yeah. Accidentals are hard work. Yeah. Because that means it's already on your plate and it just happened to boop. Like come on over to the thing that you're,

but I mean, I try hot sauce on like most things that you wouldn't think that it would be good on and it's always good. Yeah, favorite hot sauce. Frank's. You're Frank's interesting. I don't really like Frank's. I don't get it all the time

because it's got like a lot of stuff in it that's not hot. No, that's a great answer. Frank's is great. The classic, you know what I mean? And then I like the Ninja squirrel soracha because it's got like coconut. Oh wow, okay.

It's like thick. It's kind of like creamy. I like that. It's really good. It's kind of like creamy. I like that. It's really good. It's really good. I think for me, you know what, a lot of times I get like salad dressing on a plate and then maybe I get my crust on it or you know what I mean? No salad dressing on bread is a delight.

Yeah, it's fun. Yeah, it's fun. Like I feel like some rancher or Italian or creamy Italian getting on. Yeah. Some of the other stuff, a game maybe mixes in with my rice a little bit. I'm fine with that. It doesn't bother me at all. That's a fun time.

The answer is everything, like we're to find whatever. Yeah, yeah, I'm not alone in this. Yeah, we're gonna pull, mix around, put it on the floor for me for God's sake, I'll be there. We're fine, fine. If you out there have a question or comment about the world of chain restaurants,
