Wags, when I was a little boy, I'd wake up every morning Saturday morning. I'd watch some cartoons. Mmm. You know what I do? I go downstairs and I get myself a big bowl of sugary cereal.

And you know what? I can't do that anymore, as an adult. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, it's not fun like it used to be, because you know what? I have boring protein shakes and supplements and a bowl of grain instead. That's not fun.

148 days. That's the length of the just concluded WGA strike that ended in massive gains for workers who write movies and TV shows. With SAG actress still on the picket lines, the hope is that the studios will resume negotiations with the actors union and agree to their fair demands for a living wage and workplace protections. But amidst this Hollywood shutdown due to studio intransigence, another major industry

has gone offline because of corporate greed, the auto industry. UAW, a union that traces its beginnings to carriage and wagon workers organizing in the 1890s, is currently on strike against the so-called Big Three automakers. And as massive labor actions have put the brakes on the defining industries of two major American cities, Los Angeles and Detroit, it just so happens that this LA-based podcast is reviewing a Detroit area pizza chain. Founded in 1973 in the Detroit suburb of Taylor Michigan, the restaurant began franchising a decade later,

and by the end of the 1980s had more than 150 locations. With its tow-headed Cherubic mascot and trademarked flavored crust pizza, this motor city pie-proffer has built a loyal following in the rust belt, and today has north of 500 outlets. So just how does walking the picket line align with standing in the pizza line? Does this hot labor summer affect our affections for hot honey pepperoni? And in this time of union ascendance nationwide and in the food service industry in particular, when will pizza chain workers organize and moss and receive their fair slice of the saucy, cheesy pie.

This week on Doe Boys, Hungry Howie's Pizza. Welcome to Doe Boys, the podcast about chain restaurants. I'm Nick Wiger, along with my co-host, the banshee of I ain't Sharon, the Spoon Man Mike Mitchell. It's pretty good, honestly. Uh, thanks for the laughs. Can't believe all in didn't get you fat fucks to the UK from Mulder's Trunks on the Discord. Thanks, Mulder's Trunks. We'll see you in a few minutes. Well, look, all in played Wembley. Thanks Mulder's Trunks, roastroomingo.com. Well, look, all in played Wembley,

it's a little bit in the past as of this episode release, but it's fun. Look, we're not going overseas with you. No. You made it clear. We had that window, we had that opportunity. I would have done it. I feel like you owe a London show.

We, I would have done it. You owe a London show. You're the one who canceled. That was ready to go. I had to do tomorrow or... Name my problem. Just scheduled that war for yesterday. So you're not gonna do a London show ever? Oh no, I don't know. I'm like, I'm fucking going there. What am I gonna do? I'm gonna plane. Go to the UK. Yeah! I'd be like, what's all this then? Am I done? I'm gonna plane, go to the UK. Yeah!

I'd be like, what's all this then? What am I gonna do that? Yeah, it's fun. No. You're never gonna go. I didn't say never, but no, I'm gonna plan to do Do-Boys live over there. It's fine, we've done enough live shows.

I feel like- For me, I feel like we owe a London show. Okay, well, we can do one. Oh, yeah, yeah, show. Okay, well, we can do one. How about you, how you feeling, buddy? A monkey paw that I've, wish upon. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. I want to like be able to go on the road and do comedy on the, on the road. And in front of, I'm in front of hundreds of people.

You can do that. You have that ability. Yeah, boy. Do your own act. You could travel. You could do it. You could do your own show. You'd be people who come see it. I can tell for an hour. Fucking no. When you talk about in this show, that same bullshit just write it down. Write down. I'm like, my dick looked small today. I'm gonna do that and stay up. Yeah, we love it. Look, you don't have to go to London, but. Yo, a lunch show.

Bishop's Big Ben. And though, just going there feels exhausting. And then you get to add on top of that, the idea of doing a show. Oh my come on. What if we do Wembley Stadium next year? Jesus Christ. That's the only tour stop What if we do Wembley Stadium? Next year. Jesus Christ. That's the only tour stop.

Next year is the Wembley Stadium. How many, how, how full do you think it is? It's ever been. It would be funny to do that show. I'm like, you owe us like $600,000. Shit. Expensive Barrettas plays that, I guess. Anyway, sorry, London.

You fucking fuck you, your Britsits anyways. I'm still pissed off I'm still pissed from the revolution area. There you go. There you go. You figure out the red angle An itchy neck here we can itch somewhere. I just like It's going on here. It's like Could be a Dracula bite That we're getting close to the spooky season It's Dracula season kill a bite. Say that. We're getting close to the spooky season. It's Dracula season.

You like the trigger Halloween. It's spooky season is Dracula season. You ain't got fucking bit by a Dracula and that's why I'm itching. It's the possibility. Oh man, I don't know about that. Or where? Maybe you got bit by a werewolf and you're itchy that way. I don't know.

Let's just get on the show and have a sip of blood and then we'll talk about this later. This is bad news. I watched the exorcist the other night. It's been a long time, yeah. It is a good movie. Do we see the Pope's exorcist? I haven't seen the Pope's exorcist. Great title.

Is the Pope's exorcism a Pope's exorcist? I think it's the Pope's exorcist. The guy who, like the Pope's personal exorcist. Is the Pope watching the exorcist? The Pope's copy of exercises. Ha ha ha. He's just a scatty. What's the matter?

Ha ha ha ha. Mama Mia Reagan. Ha ha ha ha. That's what he said in the 80s. Ha ha ha ha ha. Sounds like Brooklyn in the 80s. Mm-hmm. No. It sounds like Brooklyn in the 80s. It was Brooklyn Italian. Is that just a Mario thing?

It was Italian. No, it was Italian. Yeah, no, they put Mario in Brooklyn because of, I think, is a historical Italian. Got it. Okay, okay. Like this, what's the neighborhood in Boston that's like that? The North End. The North End. Like the North End. I wasn't the South End. It would embarrass that. The North End. The North End, like the North End.

I wasn't the South End, it would embarrass myself. The North End. Oh, wow, selfies were the Irish are. Got it. And then there is a South End, which is different. I guess you wouldn't, there are some Italians in the South End, right? I don't know what it really is.

People are gonna make fun of me, be mad at me, but whatever, it's all gentrified. Anyways, it gives a shit. We're gonna wake up, man. Let's wake up. Here we go. We're doing a show. 23456789. 234589. Let's wake up. Here we go. We're doing a show. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, two, three, four, five, I want to

nine. Oh god. I'm rich. I need crazy nine. You have too much energy. I'm awake. You gotta go get a coffee. Yeah, I'm doing okay. Look, it's a double record day. That's every day. I know. But the second episode I'm second episode, I'm a little groggy. A little groggy. Fucking baby-o-to-ass bitch. I'd love to be a little groggy. Be beloved. Fucking crush you up into a little bautos your way. We try.

Oh, he's got, you got. He's got fucking forced powers. He got forced powers, I'm fucking forced. You don't want to be a baby for like a hundred years. Sounds like I don't, I'm blaming I believe the long you got your wish. Long lifespan seems nice, but yeah, that I'm sure that adolescent period that the aging process growing up would be food feel intermitable. It doesn't a human lifespan.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Like you got a diaper for a hundred years. Does he still shit himself, baby Yoda? They've never talked about how he shits. I don't think. They got to show Luke changing its diaper at one point. That would be fun. That would be cute if they did that. Yeah.

Do you think, if it's green, would have like a, you know, babies have like green shit, why do babies do have the green shit? I'm sure there's some sort of biological explanation. I don't know, I haven't looked it up. You're saying because Grogu is green that his shit might be a different color. See, I don't think the color of your skin determines

the color of your bodily fluids. I don't think that's a thing that they always do with aliens and it's like, I don't think it works that way. I think a Navi takes a blue piss. Like it doesn't work, it's like they're pissing fucking G works that way. I think like a Navi takes like a blue piss. Like it doesn't work. It's like they're pissing like fucking Gatorade ice. No, that works. That's, yes.

Yeah, that's, that seems very... Borderless of, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're like Nazi science in some way. Um, but, uh, but I do wonder what, I wonder what Yoda shit is like anyways. Does Yoda just have like a brown shit like everyone else?

I don't know. It's an interesting question. It is an interesting question. They don't get into that in the novelizations. I haven't read it in like, there's no illustration of a Yoda shit. I think like one of the first few pages. That would be cool if there was,

if Star Wars was like, like Lord of the Rings where they went into like, like the novelizations wanted to like pages about Yoda taking a shit, it would be great. I think you're thinking of a different book. What, Lord of the Rings? I don't think there's long stretches and Lord of the Rings, but like,

the hobbit shitting or like, Gandalf like fucking taking a piss. Don't they go on like, weird long-tand and stuff like that? I think you're thinking of Game of Thrones. That's where it'll be like, Daenerys having like, Diary and the Grass, and like, they'll talk about that for way too long, or they'll be like, just a super long description of all like, these, these spices

that are in like, the Night's Watches pantry. Oh, okay. I think that's more of a George R. Martin flourish. Got it, got it. The Lord of the Rings books are pretty PG-13. Okay. Yeah. No. Fair enough. I'm not talking about someone taking a, like, fucking Samwise, taking a fucking big shit. Then, you know what? Lord of the Rings should do it, too. I know it's gonna pass.

Put them on the list. Yeah. Maybe that's in the Rings of Power. I haven't seen it. You believe I did a crazy nine? Yeah, it's like the whole show on it. I know. The only improv team to be blown away by crazy nines. Wags, we take more of our money. Okay. Yeah, that should be a workshop you do.

Crazy nines. $700. By the last class, you will be doing crazy nines. That's why I guarantee. Look to your left. Wags, how do how does Poonation going to hit up with a little drop? We're saying that I think that's I got a pitch for it being the base for these long tots. They're like fries, but they're tops. They're like like the long tops.

Long tots. What do you think? Yeah. Yeah. Young. Long Tots. Long Tots. What do you think? Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb There's longer tops that could be found. Oh, what else would I chew? I'm so hungry for you. I would have a meal of a long- It's hot. Sorry, I can assure you guys, we're doing the show.

Oh. Wow. Wow. I liked all of that except for the fact that we laughed at it at the end we laughed at it. That was pretty, I think longsouts one are a good idea. Two, maybe they should take that crazy ninth class. We improvised pretty perfectly. Who said that drop in? Wags. All right. Getting ready to get out of here. it seems like, huh?

I'm not doing that, just we fucked around a lot. We have a great guest here today. It's only 10 minutes in. That's longer than a normalize before we introduce somebody. It's one-twelfth of the show. One-thirteenth. One-thirteenth. Yeah.

What do you think of that? Look at that math might work out. Yeah. Is it really? 90 minutes. What? What? No, like what?

10, 1 9th of the show. I was saying, if you think of... It can't be ad breaks. I was saying a hundred and seven. If you're thinking of a hundred... Oh no, it's not 130 minutes. Because that's... I was wrong.

Yeah. 90 minutes. We've done 130 minutes. Let that's, I was wrong. Yeah, 90 minutes. So, we've done a hundred, 30 minutes. Let's, yeah. Let's go to hours, 10 minutes. Yeah, which we could. We could. So it's not one, it's, I was wrong. Look, we'll make it a hundred, 30 minutes to show you. Just so you're right.

Yeah. So one-ninth of the show. Got it. Which is pretty good. Anyway, my math is, my math was still pretty good. You got it, man. You should take, you should just fucking relax and take a break anyways.

If we, if we'd done crazy aids, I'd be fine. You threw in the extra line. That war you out? Yeah. Remember you do like improv, it's like, hey, what's, what, when can everyone do like improv practice or Harold practice, I guess is what it was?

And then it would be like, people would have all these issues. And it's like, okay, so we're scheduled for Saturday morning at 9 a.m. Okay, like that's, that's what it would end. That sucked. Yeah, I know. You don't want to do that. It's not a good environment for improv. No. Yeah. Horrible. Anyways, I know boys crew. That's like such a specific complaint. Well, I think organizing any group of adults to do something when you've all got lives and conflicts, it's like it's fucking tough

It's not a very morning awful choice. The way you got to do it I feel like with anything is you just have to find a time and be like this is the time it is and we're missing yeah I'm off missing. I think it's the only way to do it. Yeah Hey, no boys crew. I really enjoyed your improvised song from the Domino's three episode with Emily Gonzalez in I really enjoyed your improvised song from the Domino's three episode with Emily Gonzalez in Emily Cox. That's what it was. It was what yeah with the two scary. Yeah, I didn't know if it was that long ago. Seriously long-top fries seem like an easy money concept. Why don't they exist yet? Scorpion rules Brad. Thanks Brad. Are you Brad? Thanks Brad. Thanks Brad. Thank you, Brad.

All right, we're almost we're almost at two ninths. Our guest today is a comedian whose debut album Funny Songs and Skech's releases on September 29th. That's tomorrow as of this episode's release. So look for that. And tonight if you're in LA you can join in for his album release party at Dynasty typewriter here in the city, Joe Quizala. Hi, Joe, thanks so much for being here. Yeah, thanks for having me.

What a treat, what an absolute delight. I think the, the, we saw you in person, and this is like a little bit in the past, but we saw you in person by sheer coincidence in Michigan. Yes. We done a live show, and then we were at a bar, and you were there also, you'd done a, a different live show, a different venue, just happened to be in the same place.

Yeah, like literally down the street. Wow. It wasn't even like we were both in the Detroit area. It was like we were two blocks away. Yeah, and like Royal Michigan. Yeah, we're sitting in an interesting place, fitting for this episode Michigan that is the home of the chain we'll be talking about. Very, it's partly why I brought it up, which is very Midwest oriented and very rust belt oriented. And I feel like that's like a lot of your life, right? You grew up in Pittsburgh, you lived in Chicago

for a time, started doing stand up there. I mean, did like the Midwest, I'm not sure if you consider Pittsburgh the Midwest, but like, okay, but like the rust belt in general, that sort of area of the kind of. Do you guys have to say no one does, I don't think. What a fucking no. I've heard people outside, especially outside of Pittsburgh,

will try to be like, oh, that's the Midwest, but I feel like if you've been there, to me, it's clearly not the Midwest. But it's also not New England either. It's so glannic. Mid-Atlantic, okay. You would put it into that kind of... The Wrangland.

Yeah, New England. What the fuck? Uh-oh. Mitch is taking it into that kind of... New England. Yeah. New England. What the fuck? Uh-oh. Mitch is taking a shirt off. He's the throwdown. Massachusetts. Uh-huh.

Rhode Island. Connecticut. Vermont. New Hampshire. Maine. That's New England. That's New England. Draw the line.

That's it. And we don't even like Connecticut, huh? New York should be in New York. New York is part of the tri-state area. You have much to learn, Nick. The tri-state area, obviously, New York should be in New York as part of the tri-state area. You have much to learn, Nick. The tri-state area, obviously, New York, New Jersey. No. What's one of that?

It was only the by-state area. And the third one. All I know about New York is the five burrows. Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and don't forget Staten Island. There it is. Okay, so this region of the country then, and we can just focus on the Midwest if that makes it easier and exclude Pittsburgh. But this is a part of the country that feels like it's its own defined food culture. It very much fits into the chain we're discussing today.

Do you have any opinions on Chicago eats or Midwest eats in general? Yeah, I mean, I will say that, and this is something I've kind of picked up from my parents who are from Ohio. Okay. But, you know, I grew up in Pittsburgh, which is that their opinion of like pizza in the Midwest, especially like in the 70s and 80s and around then, was like, you just don't want to fuck with like,

getting a pizza in Ohio. Especially because my mom grew up like a New Jersey and she was like, oh, there's like real pizza somewhere. And like if you try, there's so many places, it's not like this anymore though. I think that's also kind of like representative of this country as a whole, which is like maybe in the last 20 years.

Most places in this country have figured out how to make good food. Yeah, sure. But I don't know that that was true always, and there were certain deserts of culinary, how do I want to put this waste. And I was kind of skeptical about this chain because I was like a pizza chain that's from Michigan, not really a hotbed of cuisine, especially pizza. But I think it's surprising now going back to these places.

You can find really good, I mean obviously Chicago has always had very good food and very like, disgustingly, decadent, like rich, heavy food. Sure. A lot of tubos up there. Hey man, you said it. I wouldn't have said that. Not me.

I would never say that. I'm not afraid of them. I'm not afraid. In fact, I feel great when I go to the Midwest. I've said this before because I feel more normal-sized. Do you think the king of Staten Island is sad that Staten Island summer is almost over? Yeah, I think that's probably that, you know. Yeah. I mean, it happens every year.

Every year. We hear from the king. He comes down from his throne with a tear in his eye, his own seasonal effective disorder that regards, you know, the Staten Island summer of just finally ending. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's going to be crazy though. Oh, it will 100% will end will end crazy.

Let's hope. Have you seen the movies? I've seen none of them. I haven't seen any of them. I haven't seen either of the movies. You know that I'm talking about two movies? Yeah, I know they're two movies. I mean, from the two Kings of Staten Island.

I mean, like the one, the titular King, P.S. and then, you know, the man behind the curtain, Colin Joseph. Yes, that's the, they are. They are, there's, Staten Island has two Kings. Make it be, let it be known here on the Doe Boys right now. The Staten Island has two Kings. When we were in San Diego and Mitch,

you weren't a part of this particular Uber ride. You're still driving down, but me and Neil and Fran were in a, and Amelia, I believe, were all in an Uber and we had, the driver was from statin' island. And he was like, I was from the same projects as the Wu-Tain clan. I was like, that's cool.

That's cool. Yeah, because I guess it's a very small sort of, you know, community there. And he's also like, it's like no place else in the city. It's very strange. It's like, that's cool. That's cool. Yeah, because I guess it's a very small sort of, you know, community there. And he's also like, it's like no place else in the city. It's very strange. It's like, that's interesting. I'm sad. Very suburban, apparently.

Nate. Wig's brother Nate was an ad our city aga show. And I was looking forward to hang with him so much. Yeah. He's alpha wiger. He's an alpha wiger. Yeah. That's what's great.

You like to, to, to, he's, he's great. And then to, to hammer home, Nick shared a photo of him with Cypress Hill. Yeah, Nate met Cypress Hill, which is so cool. He didn't come to our Doboy's live show because he's seeing smashing pumpkins. And then I saw him shortly thereafter and he showed me a picture of him with Cypress Hill. I saw Cypress Hill play at Homer Paloza with the Springfield Orchestra. As the Simpsons taught us so. So they actually Cypress Hill, I guess, didn't show with an orchestra. That's like a thing they do now.

I wish that version. I mean, they sing it for a second on that. It sounds cool. I want to hear that version of. Is it inspired by that moment? I don't know, but I have to kind of speculate that some level comes from them having to be a joke on the Simpsons. Like, yeah, what if we actually did that?

Yeah, there's probably a lot of people myself included who first, I mean, this is dorky, but it's also kind of my age. I first learned about Cybersel because they were in the Simpsons. Wow. I know it wasn't listening to Cybersel because they run the Simpsons. Wow. I know it wasn't a Cyprus Hill when I was like nine or whatever.

Sure. Joe, you're talking to guys who just did a karaoke episode where we sang karaoke songs. So you're talking to the dorkiest, to the king of the dorks. Wags and I, we're the two dorks. Did you do the Simpsons theme as one of your karaoke tracks?

Oh man, that'd be fun. That's a good idea. I just make up the words to it. I one of your karaoke tracks? Oh man, that'd be fun, that's a good idea. I just make up the words to it. I think the only thing you say is like, it just do homework saying dough. Right, yeah. But you got it, if you nail it, crowd's gonna go crazy.

Yeah. Yeah, oh him screaming when the camera's on. Homer Shriek is tougher than the dough. Yeah, it's too hard, I can't do it. Yeah, that's pretty good. Gotta get it off my... Yeah, you know, just Shriek made wiremarkers fucking these fuck to wake it up? Yeah, give me a cough By the way, let me say you're tired. I'm fucking wired. I'm wired. I'm crawling my hands easier

I'm I'm trying to pull you through the trenches Really? Yeah, I'd get mad. I'm fucking come with me Let's do this baby. I got you on my back. Like this is happening. That's, yeah. Yeah, it all makes sense now. Like old Grogu. Yeah, we talk about Grogu.

Sorry, old Grogu. Old Grogu. Okay, Yoda. Yoda. While we're talking Midwest, I do want to ask you about your podcast, which is who cares about the rock haul? Yeah.

You talk about the rock and roll hall of fame, which is I think I think a lot of people kind of have that attitude of like who gives a shit, I'm sure that's what it would be. Part of the Genesis of the show. But like, you're a defender of the rock and roll hall of fame. Why is that? Yeah, to some extent, just because I feel like the ceremonies every year are very fun.

Okay. But like, they are on the far periphery of pop culture. Like, you guys probably, you know, go about your lives, not even realizing that these ceremonies happen and like they have huge people on them. Like in the one coming up, like Kate Bush might do her first, like American performance in decades. Wow.

But if that happens, maybe it'll get a little bit of press. But there's always, for me, it's like kind of the ideal concert, which is you watch like a short little documentary that hips you up about the band getting inducted. Someone very famous comes out and gives a speech about how the band is amazing. Then the band says thank you, and then they play their three most famous songs,

and then you go on to another iconic group or artist. That's fun as hell. That is cool. Yeah, it's exactly, you know, sometimes I'll go and I'll see a band and I'm like, I maybe know five of their songs and I have to sit through like an hour and a half of, enjoying it, but there's nothing quite like,

oh, this is my favorite song. Like, I know I've heard this song a million times, now they're playing it. But to get that like seven times in a row, because all these artists are basically getting a lifetime achievement award. Sure. It's amazing.

Are there any standout performances or standout inductions in your mind? Yeah, I mean, the definitive one, to the point where you guys have probably seen it, and it's one of those things that can only happen at the rock hall which was The year George Harrison got inducted Prince was also being inducted. Okay, because he was there

They asked him to do the guitar solo on while my guitar gently we I have seen this. Yeah Yeah, it's like one of the few things that has broken out of like kind of the Rock Hall like inside or like this, yeah. Yeah, it's like one of the few things that has broken out of like kind of the rock haul, like inside or like, oh yeah, I've seen this because I follow the rock haul. People have seen that because that's like one of the greatest guitar solos of all time. And it's like, he's on stage with Tom Petty

and Jeff Lynn from the electric light orchestra and George Harrison's son. And he just rips the most insane guitar solo. At one point, he falls backwards into the crowd. And like, there's just a guy ready to catch him, like presumably someone on his payroll. But you don't know that. You just think he's like about to fall backwards. And then at the end of the solo, he throws his guitar in the air and it doesn't come down. Whoa. That's cool. Yeah. It's, it's, I mean, I'm sure your listeners have seen it because it's like one of the best performances,

just kind of period. It was like, it's kinda like, it's kinda high up there and the guy was like, I got it. I think what it is is the camera angles don't show you. The guitar coming back down. They fell and killed someone. There's a lawsuit illegally they couldn't show you

that it killed one of the guys from traffic. Hahaha. Wow. Dave Matthews band, that's what I was Googling on my phone. I've not been inducted into that. No, I'm ainated once in 2020. Very controversial because they were number one with a bullet on the fan vote. And that was the year everybody found out that the fan vote is meaningless.

In the sense that it's rigged. In the sense of, like every person can vote online and the top five vote getters comprise one ballot, which is then entered among like over a thousand ballots. Oh, so it's basically like the winner, it's purely, you know, it doesn't have actual any weight in the electoral system. No, it's very, very minuscule. But up until then, just kind of by coincidence,

the number one vote getter always happened to get in anyway. And this is the first year where that didn't happen. Everybody was really mad. Why no DMB? I'm a DMB feel. Do you think they'll get in? They will get in. It's just a little early.

Oh, God. They were comparing them to the day math he's been to Susan Lucey in the article I was just saying. How much, so what is the stretch? Because this is the thing with... That's also, I just went to Susan Lutche in the article. I was just kidding. Yeah. How much? Like, so what is the stretch? Because this is the thing, like with, with, with, That's also, I just realized like Susan Lutche, like the idea of Susan Lutche winning,

well, daytime Emmy is what it was. Yes. Yeah. She was nominated like a bunch of years in a row and then finally won. Yeah, for, and she was, what was she on? One of the soap operas. One of our lives, maybe, yeah. Um, but like, how far and of a concept that would be

to even anyone who's like under 30. Oh yeah, no, I think a lot of young people that reference fly his way over their heads. So I'm curious, okay, so because with athletes, it's pretty easy. It's pretty straightforward with sports. It's like, okay, you retire and then, you know, five, 10 years pass after you're playing days are done. And you're, and oftentimes it's like, okay, you were tire and then, you know, five, 10 years pass after you're playing days are done.

And you're an oftentimes it's like when they like for for a lot of baseball players, right? Like, when you don't make the hall, like after a couple of times, it's like you can't like you. Yeah, there's a limit of how many times you can be on the ballot. There's a limit of how many times you can be on the ballot. But also, we were in Doctrine because he took steroids. Yeah, they're little, they're weird, little, funny dutdies.

But like, there's also a really clear entry point. And like you were saying, DMB, it's too early for them. So there is a, yeah, eligibility happens 25 years after your first release recording. Got it. So they became, Dave Matthewsman became eligible in, I want to say 2019, and then got, get on their ballot, their second year of eligibility. And you know, I don't know. There's a lot of great bands that take them like 15 years to even get in.

When's Marin going to be eligible? Yeah, once we get a podcast, uh, band, podcast. He just goes up there and does his three best bits. It's interviews, introduced by like a Barack Obama. Yeah. And if you Obama, interviews, uh, mincea. That says lock the gates. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Um, man, podcast hall of ham sounds so bad. I feel like it will happen. We should just do it. Yeah, we just, if you have to get ahead of it and just like, podcast all of Ham

and also the first winners of the show. The doughboys and also it's our hall. And then you close it. Yeah, the more inductions. Buck, we should get, we should, maybe we should just believe this. We should try to get, we should try. Get out of the URL, get the copyrights.

We just need a, we just need a city to put it in. Cause Cleveland is a good fit for the rock fall of fame because it's a major city and you can get to it. Yeah, and it's also a little bit. There's some history with their radio, like there's got him Alan Fried, who was a radio DJ, who was one of the first people to,

some say he coined the term rock and roll. And also the reality is the city of Cleveland really pushed for it, because they really wanted it. That's what, that's what you think it is, is like you don't, like, cause like all these, these hall of fame's and you know a lot of sports ones are in like pretty small podunk cities,

but like you don't want it to be in like the biggest city because then it won't be them being an attraction. Right. You wanted it in a second tier city, like Cleveland or something. Yes, I got a city. Yeah. Jones town. Hahaha.

Hahaha. I think that's perfect for the podcast. That's excellent. That's excellent. Absolutely. Um, but I bet I was just gonna say if we Googled podcast hall of fame, it wouldn't be shocked if like someone has already someone's already squatting on it.

Someone squatting on podcast hall of fame. I think we should do it. We're the fucks got hot. Who's squatting on podcast hall of fame. I think we should do it. Who the fuck's got hot, who the fuck's got podcast all of a, podcast, h-o-f-dot-com. Please help us honor all the current in previous inductees. What the fuck is this? A site, this site is hosted by Matt Kualik.

Okay. Okay. When we met up in, well, when we were playing the same city in Michigan. That's right. Sorry, looking at the inductees, like, you guys may have been in, it's like, it's just like Hollywood handbook. I'm like, okay, well, this is interesting. Yeah.

Better show us, but yeah, we, it's maybe it's, maybe it's within our realm to get inducted into the podcast Hall of Fame. This feels like we have an I Heart radio award. I think this is like a joke from the best show. Oh, got it, okay. Yeah, no, we should actually do it. Right, yeah, do it for real. Have a groundbreaking ceremony, cut a big ribbon.

Put in like Loughlin, Nevada, they'll be like thrilled. The local guy will say, yeah, we love having the podcast Hall of Fame here in Loflin. We're changing our name to Laflin. In honor of the podcast Hall of Fame. Wait, hold on, we just listened to Doe Boys. We're changing it to No Laflin. So you went from Loflin to No Laflin?

Yeah, that's right. All right. Let's talk a little bit about pizza because we're gonna talk about pizza change today. And I'm curious your pizza preference is just in general. Yeah, I love pizza. I would maybe put it at number one, favorite food. That's like Mitch.

Yeah, pizza is hard to beat. It's hard to beat. And I do prefer a kind of New York style thing to us. Sure, yeah, natural. I think it's hard to, hard to beat. And that was, that's one like thing. And in Pittsburgh, I feel like that's the last place when you're like going west where I feel like you can get a good like New York style. I was growing up. What would you for LA, pizza? You like New York style? What's your favorite LA pizzas? I have a, I have a, yeah, I like tomato pie.

Tomato pie is good. They do have a Joe's here. I've been to the Joe's. I've had Joe's here. Like a New York place. Yeah, and I think that's pretty good. I have a, I have a, I have a number one pizza place for this style of pizza.

Okay, I get like fancy or pizza or different pizza. Oh man, there's actually, I have two options actually. But, no, those are the two that come to mind. Tamiya to Pai and Joe's in terms of like, they're kind of close to me. And I feel like they're solid. I think, I've garage beats is also pretty solid. Garage is good.

Garage is, to me, is like a good late night spot. Yeah, it's open. It's open, yeah, you can get garage at like three in the morning sometimes. But my my my first is like like a hey, this is like a delivery place that has and there's a few locations, but prime pizza is now prime is good. Yeah, I was in my number one prime. That's what that's I think that's my my my number one. But then for a fancier spot. Steve Aoki's pizza. Steve Aoki. Pete Aoki is not my number one.

Do we have it ever? We never had it. We should have it, because we had a ghost kitchen phase where we're trying it. Pete Aoki is like a big, also just like he is chain restaurant royalty. Yeah, Benny Hanna. His father founded Benny Hanna.

I want to, to a Dodgers game and this blew my mind. Yeah. California pizza kitchen was the official pizza of the Dodgers. Wow, okay. And I was like, this is insane to me. This is like a chain that feels like it's like about to die. Yeah, I mean, they may have just decided that's a prudent investment of like,

we're just gonna have that is, you know, it's, it's, I don't know, it's interesting. The official sports teams. CbK is fine. CbK is honestly like, of like we're just gonna have that is that is you know it's it's I don't know it's interesting the official I don't even hate sports teams CbK is fine CbK is honestly like when I think about CbK I'm like you could get like decent salads there too wasn't all about the anyway Quarter sheets great. Yeah, it's a spy. I haven't I'm sure he's very good man. So good. I want their room land. Oh my god But that's the Detroit plus. Do they do one quarter portion? Yeah. I was going to move on, but we should sit in

the Uncarplunt. Yeah. I think I don't know how to apply for. What are you saying? Oh, quarter sheets. Like I got the Detroit style. Do they do more than that? Uh, yeah, they they actually do a bar pizza there, which I haven't tried, but I talked to the owner for a little while. I went down car. Well, you kind of like Steve Aoki, you're going to use your celebrity to make a pizza chain. That's cool. The owner, first of all, loved pizza.

We talked about bar pizza for a long time. And I want to actually try to take a slice of his pizza and he's like, that's mine. I'm trying to plug quarter sheets. A low-poil LA spot. That's fucking fantastic. It is, it is, it is. I mean, I'm gonna say like, like moved up to like, oh, this is like my favorite pizza in LA. And this is a newer place, right?

It's like fantastic. Not far from here, even Wax. I gotta try it out. I've heard good things. You're a West Side or you don't give a shit, but Prime Pizza, great delivery pizza. Yeah, and it's a small chain, they've got a few of them. So yeah, I've got it.

Good wings too, you get that good. Not bad, William, Dan. Good wings for, they do a good job. Wow. Do you have a favorite pizza chain? You know, I grew up a pizza hut kid. Okay. Wow. That was my family too. Yeah, we were a pizza hut family.

I mean, pizza hut families, both of us. Yeah, well, because, okay, my dad was too cheap to get delivery and the pizza hut was closer, so we went and pizza at all the time. Yeah, we were, we were a carry out family. Yeah. I feel like Domino's dominated the delivery world, right? Like, they were so much more the delivery pizza place. Yeah, I'm not sure. I don't know why I think that was.

I don't remember the stats. I forget, I've got it flipped in my head as to which one is the biggest in the, because the biggest in the US is not the biggest world wide. They're back, they're backwards, but I can't, I forget which one is pizza hot and which one is dominoes. I think pizza hot may be the biggest world wide,

but not the biggest in the US. We're going to Villarosa of Reston Pice, one of my favorite restaurants in Quincy. That was carried out. I think we got like dominoes, or maybe even pubogenos we get delivered. Pubgenos also, I feel like it's on its way out, sadly. Yeah, local. Well, that's a victim of the, we've talked about Robert Earl before, the guy, the finite Hollywood guy.

Or that's for two cheese, Marshall, but yes. Oh, okay. For two cheese, so Papa Geno's has not been being followed. Papa Geno's is not, no, I don't think it's, I don't think Earl's gotten this fucking nasty little hands on it yet. But you had Papa Geno's when we did that show with Hodgman at that festival. That was a weird, like remote outlet in Western mass, so I'm not sure if I got the pure Papa Geno's experience,

but it was fine. I think here, there's this fine. Papa Geno's big thumbs up, come on. I mean, I haven't had it since I was like 10, but I loved it as a kid. It's, this is the same thing. I'll take that. This is the same chain as DeAngelo, right? Same company. Got it. Yeah. I like DeAngelo a lot. Yeah.

You've read DeAngelo. I don't know it. No. It's like a sandwich chain that I guess is New England. Is it just Boston or is it all a New England? Pittsburgh is not a pair of New England. So I must know it if it's New England. Yeah. I mean, you get, you live in both the New England and in the Midwest, the best both worlds. It's Steel City. They got P got primantes. Yeah, man. We've talked about primantes before. Prize, have you had it? No, I haven't. No, I haven't. The thing about primantes, it is like the most famous,

it's like the only signature restaurant, I guess, in Pittsburgh, it's like the one you think of if there's anything, but it wasn't like, there were a ton of locations. They were just like a few. And the first time I had it was when they opened one at PNC Park, the baseball park. That's, I've never had, I've always,

that's like, even in my early food days, it sounds like when I was first getting into music. When I was like first looking up food, for mantis, it's like a place. You're putting a hamburger up to your ear like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is cool. Speaking of which, I also remember reading about

the Rothless Burger, which I think like so is his in his book made. Yeah. What is that? Rothless Burger sandwich. I'm gonna find it, but for mantis is one, I think for mantis is on gold belly, but it's like, if there's fries on it,

I don't want to look at me because it's a sandwich with fries. Of course, yes. And full-flaw. That's the one they don't, I don't want to look at me because it sounds like fries. Of course, yes. And full-flaw. That's the one they don't, you don't talk about as much, but full-flaw and fries. That's like the signature. And it's good. It tastes good.

The Rothless Burger. All right. So what is a Rothless Burger sandwich? It goes, sausage ground meat, a fried egg, American cheese, onion lettuce tomato and mayo. Oh, it's seven tomato, and mayo. Oh, that's seven. That sounds excessive. Yeah, that sounds like too much stuff.

I don't know, I kind of like this out of it. I think it's also fun. I like the, I like the local thing. I'm like, we're gonna name it same which after our unfortunately after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our after our I mean, not there. I mean, they love him there. He did no wrong. I worked, I used to work at parking lots in like as an attendant in Pittsburgh and I worked at one near Jerome Betis's restaurant.

Whoa. Yeah, and that did not last long. But you know, that also seems like a nightmare job. Parking a lot guy seems like it's a tough. Well, were you valet or were you? No, I was not valet on honestly it was Relatively chill because you just sat in a booth Usually you're not interacting with anyone you go stretches, especially if the lot was like full

Which would happen a lot, but yeah, it's just kind of car comes up. They give you the money you press the button Gate goes up they go inside It goes relatively chill probably on occasion some someone's mad because they have to pay or something. Yeah, or like the lots full and they're like, come on, let me in. Oh, sure. And I'm like, well, that's full. I'm not like, it's not like a joke.

There's no place for you to go. He's like, okay, come on. For me, I don't know you. But yeah, I'd like to read a book or listen to music. That's fun. I worked at Quincy Auto Auction. I worked, I'd like read a book or listen to music. That's fun. I worked at Quincy Auto Auction. I worked basically my job was just like get cars from the hill. And we had like a little shit car that we went up in.

But then they'd auction off cars that they told us before. And it's also grim. Like a man blew his head off in a car and then it was like sitting in the summer sun. And you went and retrieved it? And like I didn't go in and be like, oh, this is gross in here. Like that didn't happen.

Sure. But like it was. Oh, this is cool. I like this. Are you more of these? But like yeah, like weird grim things like that, of course happened to because it would be reclaimed cars or whatever.

Yeah. And your job, you were the wrangler, you like, I was like the car. I was like, I was like the assistant car guy. Okay. And also like a dealership owned it so like they'd be like, we need like, and that's where my love of altimas came from,

like, your famous love of altimas. I've had, I've literally only had two cars my entire life. Well, both altimas. Both altimas. Wow. A gold altima and Both altimates. Wow. A gold altima and a silver altima.

Wow. I feel like I should go bronze altima for the last one, right? I feel like I have to do the three. Yeah. And then I should be done with life around somewhere around there. But yeah, that's because I drove altimates and maximas and like VW bugs. It was a guy who owned and like a what's it called? A dealership.

But what is your day to day? You're like, hey, we need these cars. We go up in the little shit car, we bring them down and then they drive them off. Like from a lot, you do a lot. It was like a lot full of hundreds of cars. Okay, I got it, I got it. And so you just retrieve those individual cars

and drive them over to the next. And then there was also an auction on Sunday so there's something like that, that I got cars. You ever get to be the auctioneer? Yeah, but I didn't talk fast enough at all. They get mad. Okay, here we go. This one's on sale here.

Here we go. They're like, they're like, they're like, they're kind of doing an accident. Okay, here we go. This is one of my hair and they get the guy. I don't know. That's why I didn't last long. It's like, why does Michigan become Italian? What do you have to be an action here?

It's all the two of these fellow radians with the mustache. The Italians are good when they're frantic with Mario when the time is up. That sort of thing. Yeah. Um, I, uh, yeah, I, I, I, I never, I never got to auction. I don't think I could speak. I think that they would be like, they, I think I can't speak quick enough. It's a few actually could do it. I could, but you also have to be processing everyone's bizz. That's the part that's like, uh, gonna get five dollars, I get five dollars, five dollars over a hit.

Ten dollars over a hit. Ten dollars, ten dollars. Can you get this? 15, 15, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 25, 25, 25, 25, 20, 25, going once, 25, 30, 30, 30 to the gentleman red, 30, can I get 30, 35, 35 over here, 35, 30, 40, 45, 45, 50, 55, 50, 65, 65, 70, 70, 70, 70 65 and so Sonic fleshlight goes to the stand-over here $5.

But I was like, I think he's doing Santa. Yes. And it was like, it's like a smart take on Santa. Thank you. The podcast is sponsored by Smalls. If you're a listener of the show, you know, my cat cannot stand being without their smalls. Smalls, cat food is protein packed recipes made

with preservative free ingredients. You'd find in your fridge and it's delivered right to your door. We call them Professor Santa, just a pinch. You don't take it or leave it by my... Professor Santa. I don't know, just a thought. Smalls cat food is protein packed recipes made with preservative free ingredients you'd

find in your fridge and it's delivered right to your door. Smalls recently kicked off a partnership with the Humane Society. They've donated over a million dollars with the food to help cats through the Humane Society and they even give you a chance to donate a checkout. Whether you donate three dollars for treats, five dollars for vaccines, or seven dollars for spaying and neutering. Do you remember how stinky and smelly my old cat food was Wags? He knew. I just leave the house smell like cat food. I was like the pied piper cats would be falling me around. Well, I can finally open a packet of cat food and not get nauseous.

I actually recognize ingredients in a packet of smalls cat food. The difference that smalls makes is real. After making the switch to smalls, 78% of cat owners reported their cats had shinier and softer fur and 90% reported overall health improvements. That's a big deal. A huge deal.

And with smalls, you can adjust or cancel anytime, easily skip shipments, switch up recipes, and add on goodies based on cats' needs and preferences. Professor Santa is like, Coco plus cookies equals, and then it's a smiley emoji. Is your cat food giving back to cats' in need?

We're with Joe Quizala, discussing hungry,

how he's pizza, the home of the flavored crust pizza, which was open in 1973 in Taylor, Michigan. First franchise in 1982, and, first franchise in 1982, and today has over 500 locations, which makes it the 11th largest pizza chain in America. Isn't that wild? That's insane. I'd never heard of it.

Yeah, a place that, well, this was actually, Joe, you did a little bit of research, and you found some spots that were like of note that were in the LA area that we'd never covered. And this was the one of the places you pitched. Right. Which I appreciate the effort. Yeah, I just, you know, I enjoy this program quite a bit.

I'm not like, I don't wanna do one you've already done before, but I wanna do one of the bigger chains that's still kind of on the list. Yeah. And one that would not be, you didn't have to go to like Irvine to get to. And this place, to my surprise, had a location in Glendale.

That's right, there's one in Glendale, the next closest one is in Tatchipi, which I know is about a three hour drive away because it's where my grandparents used to live. So they're not a lot in the LA area. Yeah. Which ones you go to? Oh, you would go like that.

I was like, this is my grandparents' graves and they're some hungry how-ies. Have a slice. Yeah. I'm going to be going to. I'm going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be from where we were in Royal Oak. That's why. They're all over Michigan, obviously that's like where the, where it originated. Yeah, they're, it's very popular in the Midwest. I don't know if this is one of those chains where it's like they actually love it in the Midwest or it's just kind of like,

oh yeah, they're hungry how he's there around, you know, if it's just kind of like mid-tiered, still even there. I think there's love for it. There's love for it. I think Michigan has pride for, for hungry how he, I'm sorry, we put up a picture of the weird little boy and none of us can stop staring at him. To me, I don't know if this reference will work for all of our listeners, but he looks like Dave Ferguson got cool worlded.

He does look like our friend Dave Ferguson from the birthday boys got sucked into cool world. He's a hundred percent effort. He looks Christian. And I know that doesn't make any sense. No, it makes total sense. That was my first thought is that he looks like a young Republican. Like he looks like a guy who would sign up for the conservative club in middle school. Yeah.

Like a Christian dentist, the menace. Yes, yeah. He does look like a Christian dentist. Yes. Yeah, it's kind of like funny that you turned to insults instead of arguing with me and it's instead of engaging with my ideas. Funny, do you turn to personal attacks? I could see him being like a reformed, like, you know, one of these kind of white extremist

guys who was reformed too. Oh sure. I'm just trying to live my life now. Yeah. And like, I'm like a God will forgive me sort of guy or something like that. Which did happen to some white nationalist. You think he's a master gardener?

He might be the master gardener. You think he's the master gardener? He's a master gardener. Oh wow. What is Mr. Gardner? It's a Paul Schrader film that came out this year and it's like a, it's Joel Edgerton, right? And he's like a reformed white supremacist who's now a Schrader film that came out this year and it's like a, it's a Joel Edgerton, right? And he's like a reformed white supremacist who's now a master gardener.

I think I think this guy's a fucking incredible gardener. I think he's trying to make peace for, make amends for all his white supremacist actions. He's hungry. His name's howie. His name's howie's hungry. And if you take that red shirt off, he's just got a bunch of white cash tattoos. Yeah. He has hairs too shiny too. I don't know what's going on. Looks like he put his head in like the bowling ball shiner.

Yeah, it's not an appealing character design. It's a little unsettling. It's a little uncanny valley, especially for if I may, a pizza place like Big Fat Italian guy or busts. I it should be a big fat Italian guy. It shouldn't be a little toeheaded boy. And he it also like the logo doesn't look like a real logo.

It looks like a like a fake logo they'd make in like a Kevin Smith movie. Yes. Are you guys familiar with the original hungry how he's logo? I think I've seen this. I think it saw this in my research. That looks that looks even less real because it's just like perverted, almost here.

I'll show you a mish. Oh my god. It looks, it looks horrifying. Oh yeah, okay. So he's got like kind of black sludge all over his face and an outstretched tongue in his lip licking it up. Is that like, is that supposed to be like goo or is that his mouth? No, that can't tell.

The thing is, it's like they tried to dry it without drawing. Have you ever tried to like when you first got a computer, like I'm gonna make a drawing out of like using shapes instead of like actually drawing. And so yeah, it's supposed to be his mouth is open and his tongue is like licking his lips, but his mouth is too widely open. his tongue is like licking his lips, but his mouth is too, it's like too widely open. And also the like,

the pizza also is black. Well his head is sticking out of the middle of a pizza. The middle of a black pizza. It makes it look like a manhole. Yes. And that's disturbing, but also like the flex of like spit that are supposed to be coming off of his tongue are black.

And that's pretty horrifying. It's just like a rubber from illustration. Yeah, that's really unnerving. Awful. Yeah. And so yeah, they polished them up. The new one I guess is, it's shiny. You're right, it is very shiny.

You also look like, like maybe it's just all one big tooth that he has. It doesn't look like he has individual teeth. Like, I can't see this guy chewing a pizza. I feel like he just swallows it whole. But he is, there's something unsettling about him is the way his eyes are angled. There's nothing about this mascot that I like. It's like the Mona Lisa where you try to move

and always stare at him. There's big grin. Hi. Yeah, that is definitely, but I wonder is there even a commercial is like does howie? I couldn't find any video of him in like an animation or anything like none of the founders. I couldn't find that like howie was the name of the founders none or anything. No, it was completely it's it's it seems to just be an arbitrary like probably just the just the alliteration of hungry howie

is where it came from so they needed yeah, yeah, it's really really unsettling about you're right. I a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little Hungry how he is perfect. I wish I was I wish I was how we. Let's talk about. Let's talk about the meal we had. So the Joe, we told you how I flesh like a woman. I feel like we all stare at him long enough. We'll all become hungry. Yeah, that's really I was more in the lens of a miss than falling in love with him. But hey, that's that's your journey. Why you're. Yeah, no's really I was more in the lines of Mitch than falling in love with him. But hey, that's that's your journey. Well, you're, um, yeah, no, it really I, I maybe would worship. I would, I would kill, I would sacrifice something in his honor.

Yeah, in a cloud Atlas future, though, people would, everyone would worship Hungry Halley. I'm hungry. For a flash. We'll be hungry, Halley. Put a hunger, Halle. We'll be hungry, Halle. Let's talk a little bit about the actual food here.

So Joe, we kind of ended up in a situation where we can't get it delivered here. And then we ended up in a thing where we were able to bring it to the studio, but what this was like, we had two records today. So we had it earlier. So we kind of had it on our own here. You also got it on your own. I did, yeah. And because, yeah, because it was in that one location,

also because I wanted to like try a lot of the stuff on the menu, I got a bunch of friends together at a park that was like across the street. Wow. And like a dozen friends, we were like, let's have whatever the fuck hungry how he's is. And so we, I think we had a good sampling of the money. Wow.

Well, do boys will cover up to $50 of that. So that's fair. Yeah, no, no, no, no, send us your seat. Well, we'll cover that, of course. That's awesome. I love that. Because yeah, I think that's, that's like how to experience a place like this.

And we did something kind of similar, although we did make some cuts to our order because we realized it got kind of bloated. And we felt good, we felt like, I guess less bad when we did that because, apparently there was one guy working at this location. So I picked it up. Yeah.

And that was the case on Labor Day. I felt very bad because I ordered a ton of shit at like 3 p.m. I don't think he was expecting. And I felt like, yeah, there's just one dude. You know, this is like, there's no seating. This is like a little seat. No, it's a key up.

Yeah. Tight place where you can just go in and pick it up. I can tell you, this gathering sounds kind of like Jones down in a way. Just your friends all coming. And I'm eating the same shoes. If I saw this, if I saw hungry, how he boxes, I'd be like, what's happening here?

Is everything okay? I guess there was no. It was also inside Hungry Howie's, everything is very yellow, which is not very appetizing. Yes, that's what the dominant color is yellow. Like a really harsh yellow. Yeah, I'm realizing Hungry Howie does look a lot like the dough-boy.

You got the shower. You do what the shine. You want the shine too, man. the show. You should do it. What the fuck? Holy fuck. Are we hungry howies? We get howies? I was afraid of becoming hungry howie.

We just are hungry howies. Oh, man, art's still in. I think I know where you fucking grabbed the graphic from. Yeah, he would fit right in. We just put him in the middle. We should put 100 knowledge in. Our three friends. We just put him in the middle. We should put 100 knowledge in. We should put 100 knowledge in. Our three friends. If you put him in the middle,

it just looks like Ferguson is guessing on the show. Yeah, do that next time he's on the show. Wow, yeah. So you had a bunch of people together. You tried a bunch of things. I guess should we start with the pizza? Because this again, their big thing is flavored crust pizza. They call themselves a home of the flavor crust pizza.

Flavored crust pizzas on all of their like packaging. You're trying to get really good out of the way first. Well, I think this is a pizza place, so the pizza is the most important. So I'll say this. Walking into this record late, I had a, well, actually, I wasn't, I was late to lunch meet up.

I wasn't late to, whatever, to the actual record. Though did it push things back? Maybe. Casey, I don't know. Casey, it's not for me to tell. Casey's shaking his head. I was at home. I had tummy issues again.

I've been having tummy issues a lot recently. Had tummy issues. Came here immediately had to eat. Hungry always, which is a true nightmare. The first bite I had was of the bee sting pizza. Yeah, that's what they're pushing right now. And I was like, I said to Nick, is hungry, how is good?

And then he said, well, just you wait. I said, keep eating my boy. That's what you said. Yeah, keep eating my boy. Wise words. Cause I think my bite of the night was that bee sting pizza. And I went downhill from there. Yeah.

And not just downhill, like I fell downhill. And my tummy troubles followed after me. I was at the bottom of that hill, I was covered in shit. The bee sting pizza is a cupped pepperoni, jalapeno and hot honey drizzle, and we got one half with the disco inferno crust and one half with the butter crust. Now, me, I'm a bit of a heat seeker, so I like the hot honey.

I like the jalapeno. However, I'm not eating pork, so like I didn't, I peeled off my peps and just had it like that. I still think that it was a good slice of pizza though I think missing the salt it became of the pepperoni became like a little too sweet, but I did really like that disco infernal crust. That did a nice, nice,

nice, additional. I like the disco infernal crust too. And I actually, I mean, I like did think that the hungry house piece, I was like, if you got like six of these types of pizzas and you shared them between people, I think that I would be okay with it. I think we had made a great mistake

which we'll talk about in a minute. Yeah, because that's more or less what I did was get a bunch of pizzas. Because part of it was, you know, these flavored crusts are not an upcharge. It's just like part of the deal. Yes. Like get a flavored crust, it's why you would come here.

And so yeah, we got a few pizzas with the, with tried to get, because there's also a lot of options for the flavored crust. Yes. We got the beasting with the sesame crust and the ranch crust. And we also got a medium with just the cup pepperoni,

which they claim I think to have invented. I don't know about that. But it was like, I was not hungry how we would say. I invented it. Honest. Fucking lie. The first person to sing rei-game music. You're not.

You're clearly not hungry how we. I invented the blues. I don't know hungry how we. All right. All suspicious, but okay. Honest. The classic cupped pepperoni with a butter cheese crust and a cajun crust, and then we opted for a thin crust

because we were just trying to get kind of the options here. And I didn't realize it was gonna be like thin crust, kind of like tavern style, like basically no crust at the end, because we did get the disco and ferno crust and the garlic herb crust. That just kind of meant they sprinkled it on the edge of the pizza. Guys, it'll work.

There's no crust to do it. Even though that option was there, but yeah, just having these pizzas and sharing it with friends, and also like it was hot and ready. We went to like a park a minute away from the place. And when I did get to hungry howys, yeah, the guy working with sweating, he wasn't done yet.

But pizzas, I would say was good. We were all, everybody was very excited about eating the pizza. And I thought the novelty of the crust was fun. I think the, so I think their regular crust, their original crust with the flavored crust on the ring is good and is solid. I did not love their thin crust. We got a thin crust, we got half veggie and half cheese. This is Wags mistake.

How dare you? Well, now there's Reyes mistake, the drink, it's actually good. At TKT, this is your version, the Wags mistake. How dare you? Well, now there's raised mistake, the drink. It's actually good at TKT. This is, this is your version, the Wags mistake. You said we should get a thin crust piece. We should have gotten a thin crust piece. You know, I'm not saying you, I'm not saying you were wrong, but this is a scenario where neither of us enjoyed it. And I felt bad because I said I didn't want the beast thing on thin crust, which I didn't. Yeah. And I'm happy that I stood by that because wise, wise move once again, because we did half cheese, half veggie pizza thin crust.

And maybe travel issues, but like, look, Domino's thin crust blows this fucking thing out of the wall. That's the thing. Domino's thin crust is the same approach, and it's a much better version. This was just a limp imitation. I found it really unsatisfying. I think we should never have got. I was a missed. I'm not saying it's I'm not saying it's your I'm say it was a mistake. We shouldn't have gone. I'm not saying and I'm sorry. I'm glad we tried it.

But yeah, we were just kind of and especially with all the moisture from the vegetables on the veggies side. It was just like it was just like a wet paper towel. Well, the veggie pizza again, like for my stomach was killing in like four, like I was like, it's nice to have just any veggies at all. So I kind of enjoyed the veggie pizza a little more than I did other things. Because you liked nutrients? I was like, there was some sort of nutrient,

there was a nutrient on it at least. Yeah. Single nutrient, I'll be happy. But the just the thin crust was bad. I'll be happy. But the just the thing, Crest was bad. I'll say this too. I love, I really liked the bee singing. I was very excited for the rest of the meal. Very sticky, like reaching into the Mitchell Sock draw.

It's a fucking sticky, sticky situation. It's a sticky, it's a, the box was, as soon as you open the box and put your hand, you're like, I have fucking hot honey all over my finger. I made it sticky. How we, how we special honey. What? How we, what the fuck are you talking about?

I like making my honey. Just for you, my mixture. What? I gotta stop asking you questions about this, how, because I'm afraid of what the answers are. What? I gotta stop asking you questions about this, how, because I'm afraid of what the answers are. Yeah, I mean, it was kind of an unfortunate, and this was my favorite thing, which I did think was good.

I was like, I'm gonna say, it's good. Yeah, I had no idea. And then we really went out. Those are the only two pizzas we got. Well, okay, so. It was the thing crust and the, yeah. And we got the thin crust as well, but I don't think I got to try it.

But it was popular amongst my friends. I started with a thin crust cheese, and you know, we get, Mitch, you were dealing with some issues. So you said we could just start eating, which was very nice of you. And so I had it a little, what is a little bit fresher.

And I still think just like. Just like you said, you had a way for me. No. I still think that even in that state, it was just kind of underwhelming as think crust pizzas go. And I wish we'd just gotten the original crust. We should have just gotten an original crust cheese, honestly. That would have been a good baseline.

That's the way that you have to do. That's how you judge a pizza crust. We fucked up. We should always do that with our, hey, I'd go to this place again. I'd try it again. I'd make different decisions look, I'd go to this place again, I'd try it again. We look, I make different decisions. We had an order going for pizza and it was gigantic.

It was too big. And so we cut down on a lot of items, but I think we still held onto what we wanted the most. And Emilie actually got one of the items that I had nixed, which I was happy about, because I want to try it. So we got the stuffed bread cheese, which to me, there's a lot of things I was interested in. To me, this was happy about. Well, okay. So we got the stuffed bread cheese. Which to me, there's a lot of things I was interested in. To me, this was my highlight.

I think this was the best thing I had. And this was not the Howie Bread or this is the Howie Bread. This is the Howie Bread stuffed with cheese. It's like the three cheese, a stuffed Howie Bread. We did the deep dish. That one, Howie Bread. I think that one looks better.

That was the hit of the meal. Was the deep dish cheese Howie Bread. Wow. People were the hit of Vogue deal. Was the deep dish cheese, howie bread. Wow. People were going nuts. That was good. That was the one that was that, or the stuffed howie bread that I was stuck between. The stuffed howie bread was good,

and I shouldn't have gotten it because dominoes again just does a better version with their cheesy bread. I stuffed my bread myself. Jesus, excellent. I like it. Oh, je is. Yum. Can you say nummy? Howie.

Go fuck her. Maybe you can stuff me. Howie. Howie. Howie. Make that make sense, howie. What are you talking about? I think that made sense, how, what are you talking about? I think that made bread.

Okay. Stuffed with pizza. My own special blend of spices and sauces. I always think, here's the thing, it came with a little bit of marinara dip and sauce. And my issue is always, I know you can warm up the microwave, if there's some way to package that, so it doesn't arrive cold. Because I always feel like that dip and sauce

is just a lot better if it's warm. That said, I think this was cheesy and delicious and a good texture to it, and I think this was my favorite bite that we had of this particular meal. And I thought it was okay. Obviously, if I had tried it when it was a little bit warm, I think I would like it more.

I do think Domino's version is better, and I do wish I got the deep dish version. Yes, but you let that deep dish was good. Yeah, it was solid. Really solid, nice and warm, and yeah, cheesy fucking bread. Like how can you go wrong? Some places do, but I'm hungry, I did not. And I thought it was good, and yeah,

amongst the group, especially people were ravenous for it. Wow. Shit. Well, we fucked up. I also, I'll say this now, I got a sandwich. The Calzone inspired sub. Yes, which I think for a lot of people,

KC or one of them, I don't think you expected Becky Feldman, who was also our guest in the earlier episode. Yes. Got one of these sandwiches and she said that she did not expect to have a sub on the menu. It's not a fucking sub. Not even a little bell zone. The small calzone that is like kind of pre-sliced into four sections. Yeah, it's, I got got the steak in cheese and mushroom, I think it was called. And I think that's according to their website

or whatever I saw, that's one of the more popular options for that. I did the chicken bacon ranch. I, let me tell you, which one did you get KC? I got the chicken bacon ranch also. I don't know why it's one of the more popular ones because, look, I mean, like if it's a steak and cheese, I'm gonna have more interest in it than the other,

I wanted to try a steak and cheese. I thought it would be nice, I thought it could be fun. Here's what's on it, steak, steak, cheese, and mushroom sub. Thenly sliced, marinated steak, mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese with a side of Italian dressing let us intumate it upon request, which the sub sauce was there. I put some of the Italian dressing on there. Just kind of flavor-less in a lot of Italian dressing, let us intumate Oupon request, which the subsauce was there. I put some of the Italian dressing on there. Just kind of flavorless in a lot of ways.

I thought it was just, the one I had was just fine. It was, didn't bother me. I didn't think it was bad, but it didn't like blow me away and it was, yeah. Like were you at all, and were you at all excited when you see subs on the menu? Cause I was like, oh, that's cool if this place is a good sandwich, yeah. And like it's not at all. The fact that subs on the menu because I was like, oh, that's cool if this place is a good sandwich. Yeah.

And like, it's not at all. The fact that they had their own special type of sandwich, I was like, oh, it's like one of their signature things. Like, I'll, we'll see how this goes. Yeah, and it was just a confusing shape for a sub. And then there's a lot of off-putting things about it. Yeah.

A glorified pizzone. It's just a real, real, just a real bummer. A glorified pizonist. You're trying to nail it. Also, just the idea of like little kids like wanting to go to like the mascot as a little kid is just confusing. It doesn't make any sense.

He's a porous bias. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 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 don't know. That seems like it was loaded out. Yeah. We. Um, I, the, the marinated steak, it just didn't taste like anything to me. It tastes like I was eating a mushroom sub. Yeah. Which was kind of gnarly. Um, it just, because I knew there was steak in there, but I was like, this tastes like a mushroom sub.

It doesn't taste like anything else. And then I like took a piece of the steak to eat it by itself. And I was like, this tastes like a flavorless mushroom. It was, it was, it was, it was not great. So the sub didn't blow me away. And the, the, the cheesy bread was okay, but wags are, they really lost me on your wings. I didn't know, man.

Those wings are really disappointing. Yeah. And again, it's like a thing they're like, we've got the howy wings. And howy wings as a registered trademark. So I was like, okay, this is one thing to get. You gotta get the howy bread, you gotta get the howy wings. I think what's the name of it?

Really, they're just kind of tricking us by calling everything a howy. Exactly. Oh, this must be their signature. Right. They just have, they just fix howy to everything. I think that it's, ah boy. The texture on the, the bone in wings was okay. I did not like the texture of the,

or the fry of the boneless wings, but the sauce in the boneless wings was, well done. Yeah, well the sauce in the boneless wings was a lot better than like, hey, to me it was just kind of like, it was like an oven baked nugget. It wasn't anything special to it. I went to to because the Asian how we wings, which we had, were, by the way, he should not be doing Asian

how we, that's not appropriate. Yeah, Asian how we will not be visiting us today. Yeah. Because I got rid of them how we, what had it, it was steering COVID, okay. Howie. What is that mean? What is that mean? Howie. What are you in applying? Howie, it's not okay.

It's great that I'm falling into the howie traps myself. Just as I'd planned. I thought that those wings were a way to I thought that those wings were way too mussely and, or mussely's the wrong word, like fatty and, and. They're a little gristly, yeah, they're silly things. I thought they were okay. I think they were also like, they were kind of all over the place

because they were a bunch of different sizes and you know, I had some good ones, I had some bad ones. But that was not the issue. The issue was there, what they described as the tangy Asian sauce was just a really chemically teriyaki. It was way too sweet, it was cloyingly sweet, and then it just had like a super sciency aftertaste.

I found those pretty, at first I was like, oh these aren't bad, and Buffalo wings are really gross. And then as I had them more, I was like, Buffalo wings might be better, because this aftertaste here is just so off-putting. I liked the Buffalo nuggets more because I was like, these are bad, but they're like, you know,

they're like, this feels like what a lot of bad pizza places do, which is like kind of shitty nuggets with the sauce on them. And they were, I mean, they were not good. No. They were maybe bad,

but they were fine also. I were maybe bad, but they were fine also. I have to ask how your wings were dressed because based on what I got, it seemed like, and maybe because I ordered a lot and the guy was like, I gotta get this out fast, it seemed like he put all the wings in the box and then in two seconds, almost like with a paintbrush, just like very quickly

like splattered it with the sauce. It didn't seem like it was tossed. It didn't seem like it was, there was any like rub or anything. It was just like, or even just like a, like a bottle like drizzle kind of thing. Yeah. Did you get the bone in or the bone? We got the bone in barbecue and we did boneless buffalo. And it was the same with both. Both. It just got like they took the,

they took this sauce and just very quickly drizzled it. Look, the boneless wings were not ready for the red carpet. They were not best dressed. No, they weren't. No, so I think what they did is that the Asian howey wings, the bone-in wings, they'd like rolled in a, in like a, you know, in a, in a fucking metal bowl. That was good. They'd like rolled them in a a, you know, in a, in a fucking metal bowl. That was good.

They like rolled them in a bowl, you know, and like, the, like, they're not well coated. Uh, the, the Buffalo Howie wings, the boneless ones, those were just sort of like nuggets that were put into the box then, yeah, just kind of Peter North some Buffalo sauce on top of them. And it was not well distributed at all. I think it was Peter South. It was a light load.

It wasn't like, it was like like they were like, they were not, they were not. Yeah, they weren't. Yeah, loaded up because of the sag after strike, they got a scab, they got Peter Selt. They come in. You want to know who Peter Selt is? Oh, I mean, they're all free to go.

Peter Selt was like, I got five and a half inches for your baby. You're like, all right. That's the bad. We brag about it. He or she got legs while we can talk about it later. Three legs. His legs are also short.

Like, three, five and a half inch legs. That's what it is. It's proportionally he is really impressive, but he's just like a very, very small man. He's like, he pulls very doughboy socks. So five and a half is like, holy shit. Then you pan out and he's on a countertop. I'm gonna shoot one and a half table smooth. It's very simple. It's very south. It doesn't sound like a lot to me, but.

I gotta use that line sometimes. Did you guys get desserts? We did. This was also, you know what? Can I just, before we get to desserts? Can I just say the dip in sauces were really disappointing. We got a bunch of them and a lot of them, Mitch, this is your point, they were just like the Ken's

steakhouse, they were just like a generic dip in sauces. There were a few how we signature sauces, but none of them were all that good. And the big thing for a place that's fucking wings, they didn't have a ranch cup or a blue cheese cup. They had a little, a little fucking, a, a, a, a, a, a little packet. And it's just like, that's not good for dip in.

I got a ranch cup. You got a ranch cup. We didn't get no ranch cups. They are ranch cups there. Wow. I pointed at it, called my shot. It said, give me that ranch cup. Wow.

Maybe you got the last ranch cup. Could be, yeah, yeah, Labor Day rush. But we were a little bummed by that. But yes, we did get some desserts. And the desserts we got were... Everyone in Glendale taking the kids out to ranch it. How hungry how is? Come on kids, we're getting ranch cups,

how hungry how is? They're crying. Come on. We didn't end up getting the howie's cookie, but we did get the pumpkin spice, howie bread, uh, which I had it. And I think I just said this sucks. I thought it was really bad.

Yeah, the desserts are not great. We got that we got the cookie and we got the, you look so much better. Cookie looked a lot better. No, it's not. It, it, one of my friends was eating it was like, this feels like it's missing sugar. Which was, real indictment.

It was one of those things where like, maybe it had ice cream with it. It would be fine. It just felt like it was incomplete. Yeah. Yeah. And it was, I mean, listen, I had a lot of it, but it just, yeah, same,

and we didn't get the pumpkin spice, but we got like the cinnamon sugar, how we bred. I think you got a little packet of icing too, to be yourself. A little packet of icing, which yeah, exactly. Kind of peter south a little bit in a corner of the box, but it's like the icing was also very chemically, but it needed it because it was so dry without it

that it actually didn't really dry. It was so dry. I wanted the cookie, or honestly the cinnamon sugar ones and I saw your order and I was like, I'll do the cookie too. And then you're like, if you get the cookie, don't get the pumpkin spiced ones.

And I was like, well, you won. Why go wanted them? And I didn't want to take away from them. No, I just want to overload the order. I would have been fine with the cookie. I know, but I thought, like I was like, I'm taking away your fun.

And I was like, you know what? The pumpkin ones are, it's, it's this season. Yeah. Let's do it. But it was again, I'm taking away your fun. And I was like, you know what, the pumpkin ones are, it's the, it's, it's an old, let's do it. But it was again, that's a higher mistake. It was a, you're also again, drawn to like, oh, it's, but it's how we breathe. It's how he is, pumpkin spice.

How we breathe, yeah. It's not special. No, it's just, yeah. It's, it was, it was bad. Look, I wish that we had done it. Sugar and spice and everything nice. I bring the everything. I wish that we had done sugar and spice and everything nice. I bring the everything. Oh, okay.

I'm not no follow up question, so you you wonder what that packet is on top of the cinnamon sticks? Yeah, I was, I mean, I do. I kind of don't know. The way this is going, I do not want to know how it is. I'm fine. How he made. How he's own signature.

Cream. I hope after this episode comes out, we don't find out like, yeah, how he was named after like the owner's dead son. Thank you so much. And he's on. And he's like, come to Hungary. He's the exact same thing as we're doing.

Oh, it's my special restaurant. Holly died. Oh, the owner killed him. He was too horny. He had to kill him. Yeah, lethal doses of horny. He just had to fucking. I Doses of horny, I just had to fucking, I hungry how we started off with a bang for me. And yeah, and, and, uh, cause I think we covered everything we did, right? Yeah, Josie, I think you didn't get to know that, that was, that was everything. The garlic cup was the best of the sauces for me. I didn't try the garlic cup.

I mean, it was just a garlic butter, you know, and because that was that hungry, how we brand though, that was a different thing. I thought it was, but, it was just a garlic butter, you know? And because that, was that hungry howey brand though? That was a different thing. I thought it was, but maybe it was just a generic. It was a cup of garlic butter. Either way, I think it bested an uneven experience in a hungry howey. I wish that we just got a multiple pizzas.

That's the big thing. And I think that's, that honestly, like, if this place, if we owe this place to revisit, I think it's just to have more of their regular pizzas. It seems like that was the highlight of your experience. Yeah, let's go to the park. It is truly like across the street. You pick up the pizzas from the overworked guy on Labor Day.

And one guy, we're gonna give credit to this guy because he was alone in there and Amelia said that he was alone in there and there were multiple go-along promise. Yeah. And he told her 15 minutes. Yeah. And people were calling, he was alone on there and they were multiple people in front of us. Yeah. And he told her 15 minutes. Yeah. And people were calling, he was like 15 minutes and there was just one man.

Yeah. Working, working their own. God bless him. And I texted Amelia, I was like, my stomach was out of control and I was like, there's no way she'll be there at the time. And everything turned out fine.

She was ready to go. And all worked out. It all worked out. So God bless that guy. Uh, how he's dead for, for, for, uh, the name of the guy. He misses his son, um, and he's working hard. So he doesn't have to think about his own mortality.

And I get that. I will say when I went to hungry how he's, they were advertising a lot of stuff that was not on the ordering menu. Yeah. On, or on the app, either It's like, I don't know, because I tried out their app a little bit, and it's, yeah, I don't know why they wouldn't have their seasonal offerings there.

Well, because I mean, there was just like, I wasn't interested in trying the pickle pizza, but I was like, oh, that was not, I didn't even see that listed as an option. But is that also like just like, hey, there's just an old sign that was up there? That could also be it. And stuff crust, I don's just an old sign that was that you know, they could also be it and stuff crust I don't think I maybe that was on the menu, but they were really pushing it at the at the spot

Well, okay, so here's the other confusing thing that we found when we were ordering it when we were placing the order is it It seems to allow a lot of customization Yes, and then as you go through it it would say like it would just give you an error and so you couldn't do that So like the like we're originally gonna get like a half bee sting, half something else. And then they're like, oh no, you can only do, the specialty pizzas cannot be halves and they have to be one size.

They can only be large. So wanna pickle on your pizza? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Zip. Yeah.

Howie. Yeah. I'm from Dayton, Ohio. It's first and. Yeah. It is a very Midwest. It's first and it is a very midwestie. It's a great, maybe it's a good midwest mascot. I don't know if they're comforted by him. Yeah, sure. I mean, because that's the thing,

and to your point earlier, Joe, it's like, there's nothing about this guy says Italy. It all just kind of, it says just like, you know, like whatever, like a, yeah, a, a, yeah, exactly. Yes. American in the wasp sense. Um, wow. I, I mean, look, I thought this was going to turn out good. And I, I, I just, I feel bad almost because I did, I did enjoy that first bite, but it really went downhill from there.

Why is you were a hundred percent right? Well, we'll find out what our four scores are. It's so solemn. Look, well, hey, when we return, yeah, what people don't know is this is sad for us.

Joe, you've heard the show. You're familiar with our format. You know what to do. Closing thoughts in your fork score for hungry howie's pizza.

Yeah. The one thing we didn't say is that this place is very affordable. Great point. Very, you know, if you're looking to get a bunch of pizzas for not a lot of money, you know, there's, you utilize the number of deals that were available to me. And I have to say, we got, like I said, I brought a bunch of pizzas to my friends who were, who were ready to dog pile on a, on a pizza shit pizza chain. Yeah. And we were all pleasantly surprised. Like Mitch, you were saying, you say your first bite, you're like, hold on a second. It's hungry. How he's good. Yes. And that's, I mean, ordering anything other than the pizza feels like a roll of the dice anyway, right?

Because it's a pizza chain. And the pizzas we had were good. And I would say comparable to dominoes and other chains that are like kind of in its category. For what hungry how he's attempting to accomplish, right? You look at his weird little face. He's not trying to wow you with his authentic Italian cuisine. Sure. He's going to give you cheap pizza that you can get a bunch of when you're hanging out with your friends. Now the the the subs, the so-called subs, find the wings kind of an afterthought.

The desserts, not very good. Yeah. But I still, I would probably go back. And so that means something. So I'm going to give Hungry Howys 3.754x. Wow. 3.4x3 times very good score. I'm also looking at his hair now

and his hair, like a circle, you know what I'm saying? Like is that front of his hair there, like a circle, like a hat shape? Oh, I see what you're saying. Is it a wave or is it a circle that folds into the logo? Yeah, what the fuck?

Yeah, I think you might just have like a helmet of hair. It's one of those sorts of things. It's almost like an optical illusion. I did see what you're saying. Like, yeah, I think it shuts out. I think it's, I think that is a flap. But then there's also, I don't know. No, I think it's a, I also think it's a flap. I think it's a hair helmet.

Because it could be like a mushroom, right? Yeah, it could be like, I think the football season has begun as of now, annoying. We'd love to watch the first game recording doughboys. It sucks. What is the first game? Who is it? Is it Kansas City? I don't follow football. I don't know. I have no idea. I should know this. It's three weeks in the past at this point. Two or three weeks in the past. So it's fine. We don't need to go. The ESPN app will be the lines and the chiefs, lines and the chiefs. Okay. So it is. Okay. There's lines of the chiefs zero zero right now.

The four of five minutes later. And the first there's your live update on a football game for three weeks. Some people maybe don't know yet. Maybe it's a spoiler for some people who manage the NFL. I'm gonna wait. I'm gonna wait for the, I'm gonna wait for the whole season to be out. Yeah, I'm waiting for like, yeah, to October to start. Is the Super Bowl good if it is, I'll watch all of it.

That's that, you get it. If I was having a bunch of the boys over, boys. Boys not like boys, boys, but like the boys. Not like hungry, always boys. Not a hungry, always boys. I'll like hungry always boys not hungry always boys. I'll come over. I'll bring my friends. No, you're not really one of the boys.

It's how we are. You're talking Micas, Chankton, Frailbot, Ramondi, L.D., you know, staying in out. Lutang's gonna be there. Shield Z. You need pew. Chewing to this party. Right, howie?

Scoop's gonna be there. Scoop's gonna be there. Commissioner of the fantasy week. Scoop. Whoa. That was a bad job. No, he does a great job. Um. Am I gonna order up a bunch of hungry howies for me and the boys who walks in the games?

No, I'm not gonna do it, but, if I'm a sketch cram, there you go. And I need a bunch of pizzas for the writer's seat. I think that, and you secretly hate them. But, I'm not gonna do it. Apart from me is like the beast thing pizza

maybe would go all right over it if the boys were hanging out, but like all the sides that we had were not good in my, in this first experience. I wouldn't get a sub. The Buffalo chicken, I don't know. I would probably go boneless and I still don't feel that great about it.

Stuffed how we bred, I maybe feel okay about doing. And then the pizzas, but we didn't try enough of the pizzas. We got how we bred, I maybe feel okay about doing. And then the pizzas, but we didn't try enough of the pizzas, we got the thin crust, which was not good in our experience. And the beast thing was kind of the only thing that to me that kind of shown through and was what I would say good.

It's around four forks worthy, that especially if I got a hot. So I wouldn't get it for the boys, and I wouldn't get it for myself, but I do think that there's maybe a place, especially if I try the pizza more if you were getting a lot of pizzas in their cheap, and it could be a fun thing to do.

But as of right now, and I'm sorry, howie, I am afraid to anger you in many ways. Don't say it. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha in the name, pizza is what this place does. Like this is what they're leading. Three-ha four is actually almost too nice of a word. Two and a quarter four. So who in a quarter four is two fours one time? They put in their logo flavored crust pizza. They talked about home of the flavored crust pizza. Pizza, they're leading with the pizza,

at least in their branding. However, their menu is directing you towards a bunch of others shit, and none of it hit except for the pizza. I like that stuff how we bred a little bit. I actually like to actually, a little more than a little bit. It was basically my favorite thing from this particular outing. But everything else, I like getting wings when I get pizza.

To me, it's getting fries with a burger. And I thought these wings were just so disappointing. The subs I didn't have, but you know, everyone seemed like they were bound by them. The desserts are an afterthought, whatever that's the case with every single chain pizza place. But it's just, it's really just the pizza is the one thing that's worthwhile here,

which I do think at least the non-thin crust, the original crust pizza was pretty decent. I thought that was good. Uh, but I don't know. It just leaves a lot to be desired. so was pretty decent. I thought that was good. But I don't know, it just leaves a lot to be desired. I will revisit this place because I'm interested to have some of its other like specialty pizzas and trial of it's more of their different flavored crusts and I'd just like to try to focus in on that aspect

of the menu. But because of this experience, I think I'm in the handholding club with the spoon man. I think I'm going to go or at least ballpark buds with you two and a half forks is going to be my score. And to shout out our previous dope boys double guest Becky Feldman, who had some hungry howies with us, her thoughts, I give it three forks because it actually didn't make

me feel too stuffed grow slash gross afterwards. So three forks because it actually didn't make me feel too stuffed grow slash gross afterwards. So three forks from Feldman. Was this, didn't you say while we were recording that she was feeling with Dargic? She was, yeah. And then afterwards I think she's feeling a little better. Okay. Did it lift it her up? Yeah.

Maybe I'm just doing doe boys, maybe I made her feel with Dargic. That's probably what it was. Should we give him those scores? I'll be seeing the both of you tonight. What the fuck? Alright. Miser clothes and smiling. Did you guys see that they were also pushing a tie-dye pizza?

Yes, and we should have gotten it. It has that weird, probably flavorless glitter on it. I just, I, that would have, I think I would have said. So much gimmickery, yeah. It was on the, I, I think I'm gonna suck. So much gimmickery. Yeah. It was on the, I was on. How he secret many of us. Shh.

I don't know. I honestly think that I would probably be have a little bit more fandom towards this place or a little bit more favoritism towards this place if not for how he himself, who I find just so unnerving. This might be one of the spots that we need to just try a bunch of different pizzas from there. Yeah, we might just need to get it again.

But I think for a first, I, Joe, I appreciate you pitching it and I'm glad that we tried it because I think this is a place that should be on a radar, especially again, the 11 biggest pizza chain in America. Well, 500 locations. Yeah. Both those effects surprised me.

Yeah, it's huge. It's huge Those are a view of hungry how he's pizza take the picture down take the picture now Please get a get how you out of there get him out of there. Thank you. That's better Crazy God I can actually still see it on Casey's Oh boy, it cases keeping that up for personal reasons. This background now. Interesting. It's time for a segment.

I've got a mystery beverage and Mitch and Joe must use their senses to reveal its identity. Wow. It's the Wigor Challenge. So here we go. We've got a little while since the Wigor Challenge. Oh, look at this. Wow.

Already poor. I thought that there were two glasses of wine next to you, which I wasn't surprised by. You and howie. All right, so I've got some beverages. I have a guess off of the sniff. Mitch is guessing from the sniff. If you want to describe what you have in front of you

in these little like kind of tumbler glasses. Yeah, so it's a dark liquid. Dark liquid. Brownish liquid. Yeah, maybe soda. I can't tell. Can we immediately start to say what it smells like? Bill Freys here.

It's a strong cherry scent. That's what I'm getting. Can we sip? Of course. While you're sipping, while you're tasting this, Joe, I want to ask about your album, Funny Songs and Sketches. It's out tomorrow. What should people expect and where can people find it?

So it is in a sense like a throwback album to like, you know, when Sandler used to put out sketch albums and stuff like that. I just felt like there hadn't been a sketch album in a while, or at least one that I had noticed. And so yeah, I mean, there's sketches on it with a lot of funny people, and there's a handful of songs as well. I tried to be very clear in the title of the album, funny songs and sketches. And you can get that pretty much anywhere you listen to music, and if you want to,

I mean, I'll be posting obnoxiously about it on my socials at Joe Kwa on Instagram and TikTok, Joke, Joke on Twitter. Well, congrats on the album. Yeah, great. Let's check it out. I have a guest on this. Yes, go for it.

Well, should I let our guests guess? No, no, no, you go first, please. Cherry, Dr. Pepper. You're going to lock that in? Cherry, Dr. Pepper. Go. That would have been my guess. So I guess I'll say I'll go maybe his black Terry but Dr. Pepper, but still, it's

an difference. Yeah, I'll say just to change it up, I think it's, I do think it's like a cherry, like a diet cherry vanilla doctor pepper is what I'll say, even though I didn't get any. That could, that, but like, that different, that different differentiating it, like that could get you the win. Right. I'm looking at the wiki right now and Mitch Mitch is, you've had a pre-dominant run in the Wigor Challenge.

I would say that you, you know, you have at least from the early going, you seem to have a much better than 500 record. Maybe it's evened out over time. Sure. But you've won the last three, the most recent ones. Okay. And, or maybe, you know what, honestly,

the past six Wigger challenges. You have either won or tied. What it falls to to me right now is to decide who won this one, because it's a little bit difficult to adjudicate. It's like somewhere in between what we said. It's not a Dr. Pepper. Oh, oh wow.

It is in fact straight from Burning Man where Amelia brought this back from with her. Oh, what? Pib extra. Oh, wow. Yes, which is a artificially flavored spicy cherry soda. It is though, it is the Pib heavy, which makes me feel like I have to give it to Mitch

because he did not guess a dietary. So Mitch, I'm gonna say you won the Wiker Challenge. You can have this Pib extra if you like. Fuck yeah! It's Pib time. Do you want the Pib extra? I do not. Well, that's gonna be a good host to give it to you, but.

I've got plenty here. I actually like this. I think it's good. Yeah, Pib extra is good. I think it's good. Yeah, it is pretty good. I don't know why they drop the Mr. Pib branding and change the Pib extra. I like to Mr. Pib, but you know, whatever. I think it's good. Yeah, it is pretty good. I don't know why they dropped the Mr. Pib branding and changed the Pib extra.

I like to Mr. Pib, but you know, whatever. You know what's so funny about that is because I was like, this is like has a bite to it that tastes like a doctor pepper, but I was like, but is the doctor pepper bite stronger than this? That's like what I was trying to figure out on my head. And I was like, maybe the cherry doctor pepper

just is a little less of a doctor peppery bite. Yeah. But this is a nice soda. I like it. It's got a nice taste to it. I was also, were you in the, did you think Dr. Pepper right away or no? I did.

Yeah. Well, obviously, you could smell the cherry. It smelled the cherry, yeah. And then, yeah, it just, because I was like, well, maybe it's wild cherry Pepsi, but it's like, it's definitely not Pepsi. Yeah, I thought it was maybe like a cherry cola or something. But it felt too strong of pepper, of paper pepper.

Amelia, so Amelia was at Burning Man. This will be a little bit dated as of this release, but she was at Burning Man, and she brought two cans of pivot extra back with her for some reason. Did she have to drag it through the mud and like, I guess so. Does the idea of bringing anything back

from Burning Man this year is Burning Man, is it me? Yes. When there's cars abandoned, and she was, she was, I have to bring Pib extra for the doughboys. We were like, You better bring us back those Pib extra. He promised us.

You could get them anywhere. It's just, it's just, it's just, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm us. Are these not, can you not get these in the store? You can get them anywhere. That's it. So, that's burning man exclusive. Unless there's a little something special in here. Well, it was funny too,

because Amelia was like, we were like, oh my God, thank God you're okay. She's like, media, that was like the media sensation with that. We were having fun. She was like, she just was having a good time at Burning Man, it sounds like. We actually wanna leave.

We actually will have talked about this on the past episode of Doe Boyz, Doe Boyz, so you can check that out. It did, it did, it did. It's kinda like, it's like, it did seem to border into like, the media is like, fake news in it. No one's actually getting sick.

The liberal media. Yeah. I don't know about that. We do, there was like, there's like, Tesla's stuck in the mud. Yeah. She was like, there's like, Tesla's like, the mud was so crazy and people were sinking in it and now it's like hardened and like, you can't.

Like, what happened with the dinosaurs, I assume? Yeah, like, it's the new tarpets. Yes, these might be the new tarpids. Well, people in the future dig up these cars and like they did the dinosaurs possibly. Oh, these were the ancient species of old. They roamed, they one point Tesla's rule the earth. That's what they're gonna think.

They ate, there was a one boy who fed them all their meals and his name was Howard. He was their god. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. a one boy who fed them other meals and his name was Howard. He was their god. Hey, that was a wager challenge, just like a restaurant you value your feedback. Let's open up the feedback and hey, we have a voicemail today. Case, if you want to play that. Sarah, the show is called twisted metal. It's on peacock. Yep. The show is twisted. No, sorry guys. That was me talking to my wife for trying to decide what to watch

After I leave this question. They're streaming on peacock now. It's called twisted metal. Sorry guys What would your motto be for your restaurant? You know all of Garden has when you're here your family McDonald's has we love to see you smile. If you had a restaurant, what would your tagline or motto be? Thanks, bye. Wow. That was nice. That was very nice.

I would find I was like, that's nice and then I'm barred from acting ever again. They got no new polls. Very kind. So we're looking for, what is your restaurant? If you have a restaurant for what is your restaurant? If you have a restaurant, what would your motto be? What would your tagline be to get people in the door?

I'm thinking outside the box. I'm not thinking the experience of eating and the tagline is going to be, you're going to like the way you dump. That's, no one is saying that ain't right. No one talks about it. No one's talking that angle. I absolutely love it. I love it.

Like, yeah, sure. Of course, like, everyone's gonna say you're gonna enjoy it coming in, but how's it coming out? Yeah. And you're gonna like it. I guarantee it. That's great. That's hard to beat.

These are hard. These are always the hard exercises. What? Like, it's like come up with a, come up with something that a group of like a marketing team will spend months crafting on a spot and get a million dollars for me over. Yeah, come up with it now. He says a sh**. Mine is come to hungry howies. I'll fill you up. Here's mine, ready? Yeah.

It's not nice that you recently. With tastes this good, you gotta be fibbing me. That is good. No, it's not. No, I like it. This taste is good. You gotta be fibbing me. I like it.

That's a winner. Everyone across the country will be saying it. You'll become the you gotta be fibbing me, guy. You gotta be, yeah, yeah. Say it, that's a winner. Everyone across the country will be saying it. You'll become the you got to be fibbing me, guys. You got to be, yeah, yeah. Say it, say it. Yeah, you got to be fibbing me. Yeah. You got to be fibbing me.

I mean, I was thinking of other things. I was like, come on in. Come on out. And do it all again. How's that? You can come to my restaurant, but you can also leave when you're ready. But you can also come back.

We would love that if you did. That was Dutton had a great birthday boy show sketch and I was in it, I think it was called Marty's. And it was like, you pay for what you, like you get what you pay for. It was just like a thing about how I like, you have to pay for your food.

Yeah, I don't know if you remember that sketch, a Dutton original. Well, that's good old Duts. That's the album drops too. That's right, you can get rid of that. I think there's probably a play on a classic film you could do, and it would maybe like a, you know,

guess who's coming for Wigher? It's me. I'm gonna take the opposite approach of Joe here. I'm gonna say, eat till you sick. Mm, how's that? It's so good, it doesn't matter what happens. It doesn't matter, yeah. you. It doesn't matter. Yeah.

Eat till you're sick. You filthy pig. Let's get to it. Yeah, right. Give us some shit at the end. How about just like sometimes I feel like kind of a borderline like nonsense baby talk one hits like chomp chomp. That's cute.

Chomp chomp. Yeah. It's Wigers place. Chomp chomp. That's, I Wigers place. Chomp chomp. That's, I like that. Not too far from Red Robin. Yum. That's true.

That's a good one. I like the baby speak. That's a fun. Yeah. Or maybe like no kids, like no kids allowed would be fun. No. I don't know if there's any, has there ever, has there ever, honestly,

I'm trying to think of like catch phrases that actually worked on me. Yeah. And there are like a few, like, you know, in college, I sang the, the, remember Hoody sang like the Burger King Bacon Cheddar Ranch. I'll say it. We like that.

Tinder Chris Bacon Cheddar Ranch. Yeah, that was like a big hit. But then also like, Marcel's got you weird. And we talked about the Quizna rats, which are back. The Quizna rats are back. Oh fuck, they're back.

That's a real desperation move. But they said like, they're doing a dominoes in a way. They're like, we know that we've like fallen apart here. Boy, that's like 10 years too late, man. That's a real, that's again, I think that's just a little bit. I kind of want to get in my chance. I'm here. That's a real. That's that again, I think that's I kind of want

to get much. I like the little guys. Um, I think the one that may be blah, blah, blah, blah, really worked. That's good. And that's that that is nonsense. Yeah. I guess the slogan was I'm loving it. I love it. So the blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, I guess the lead up to the model. I'm loving it. I'm loving it. But you think better ingredients, better pizza works on people on nobody. I even had not even a dumbass, Mitch. It's not bad.

I think maybe it does work on some dumbass, which I'm not one of. I got better, the pizza is better than green, better than green into better. Someone must have thought that. Yeah. Dov you hit the Dolboys podcast? Well, they make a lot of noise. Yeah. I don't know if there's any tag like that really has worked for me. How about let's make a meal.

That's good. Wait, is that just a let's make a deal? Yeah. It's a fun play. It's a fun play on that. Yeah, let's make a meal. You know, honestly, if like we've talked about Panera, if it was like,

because you're gonna like the way it comes out or whatever, like the dump one, or you're gonna like your dump, right? You're gonna like the way you dump. You're gonna like the way you dump is good. Well, for Panera, if it was like, comes, breaks sad news here. You know what I mean?

Like, I think if some of them just went honest, they would like it. It's your heart break here. Penaerov, it's time to end things. This is always a hard question. It's tricky. I like the way the questions start off with what he was saying at first.

Mmm. Wish was just promotion of. Yeah. No, he was, he was saying at first. Which was just promotion of. Yeah. No, he was just talking to him. I was just going to talk to his partner. Yeah, I mean, that's all that was. Do you think have it your way at the time? They were like, wait a second.

I could what? You know what? Have it your way is another one that maybe did stick with me. I do. Yeah. I was like, oh, I can get anything I want. It stood the test of time a little bit too, because that one's been, I think, around since the 80s.

That was their whole thing. It was just like, hey, we can do that. Because now in the era of apps and like, you know, kiosk ordering where you can make endless customizations, I think people have forgotten that there was an era of fast food where you weren't making substitutions, where that just was, like, you got it as it came, you know. Right. But so the burger came through. They were like, I was like, you got it as it came, you know. Right. But so the burger came through and so it's like, Hey, do you want to change things up?

Go feel free. Whatever you want to do. You know what's sadly what that would work on me, I think, if it was like a threat, it was like, if you don't, if you don't eat here, you'll get sick or something. Yeah, I'll go. I think that would like scare me enough to be like,

well, I should get this. I feel it. If you drove by a taco bell and it was like, if you don't stop in, you're gonna have some battle after. It's dangerous not to eat. Yeah, come to Taco Bell or we'll kill your family. I think that would work on me. I'm a superstitious enough person that that would maybe work.

Yeah. What about think outside the bun? Think some idiot was ever like, holy shit. Wait, that's,, that I agree. That's, I should. Yeah, that one never worked for me, but I do like it because it is Taco Bell. But yeah, I do like think outside the bun,

but I don't know. Like yeah, there definitely some true dipshit. Like was just like, wow, hold on. Cool. Say that again. Is, I can't even think of any more eating good in the neighborhood in the neighborhood. Is that one I didn't really care too much about, but is that DQ? No, that's Applebee's.

Applebee's, oh shit. Yeah. What are, what are, does Wendy's have one? Um, fuck, I'm trying to think of a famous Wendy's tagline. I mean, we got like, where's the beef, I think is their favorite. Where's the beef, where's the beef? But that's not the tagline. It was just a's the beef, I think is their big one. Where's the beef, where's the beef? But that's not the tagline. It was just a campaign.

Yeah. McDonald's has had a lot. They've had like, did somebody say McDonald's? That was one in the 90s. Oh yeah. Yeah, we love to see you smile. Yeah. I'm loving it.

How about, I remember food, folks, and fun. That was a little bit more of an obscure one, but there was a time when McDonald's had that food, folks, and fun. How about, you know, where's the beef? How about, here's the beef. Bitch. The bitch is implied. Yeah, right. You couldn't say that on TV, but it's the beefy old bitch. What is this place? Pretty cool. Kruggers. Yeah.
