This was the day Sega released its ill-fated Dreamcast console in North America. Loaded with technology that would be iterated and improved upon by imitators like a second screen in its controller and built in Internet capability, the console arrived stateside and province side accompanied by a top shelf lineup of launch titles, Soul Calibur, NFL 2K,

and naturally a game featuring its signature blue blur mascot Sonic Adventure. But seizing the opportunity to smother a rival in its crib, Sony released Squaresoft's much anticipated Final Fantasy 8 for PlayStation on the very same day, muting the reception for Sega's next gen machine. And while the Dreamcast would become beloved by enthusiast gamers for its library of innovative and engaging titles like Jet Set Radio, Shenmue, and Skies of Arcadia, as well as quirky novelties like M-rated zombie typing tutor Typing of the Dead and maracas rhythm game Samba de Amigo, mainstream consumers were all too happy to wait instead for Sony's upcoming PlayStation 2, which also promised to play movies in the exciting new DVD format.

Station 2, which also promised to play movies in the exciting new DVD format. On January 31, 2001, less than two years after its North American launch, Sega of Japan announced the console would end production and Sega would permanently exit the hardware business. The dream was dead. The Dreamcast was dead. But Sega has since endured as a software publisher, with potent franchises like Persona, Yakuza aka Like a Dragon, and Total War, and of course, the Yuji Naka created Sonic the Hedgehog. And while the past two decades of games featuring Sonic and his shitty friends have been uneven, to say the least, the recent films featuring Sonic have brought in buckets of gold rings

at the box office, released in partnership with once-rival Sony. And Sega has also partnered with the breakfast chain that has usurped Denny's as go-to sit-down restaurant for novelty tie-in menus, the International House of Pancakes. But is this menu as delicious as Sonic's beloved chili dogs? This week on Doughboys, we return once again to IHOP for their Sonic the Hedgehog menu. Welcome to Doughboys, the podcast about chain restaurants. I'm Nick Weiger, along with my co-host. I got a little act out here.

Da-da-da Denny's and regrets. The Spoon Man, Mike Mitchell. Elton John. To the tune of Benny and the Jets by Sir Elton John, thanks for the great show, Jemmy and Everybody Else, Matt and Cincy, our guest is also from Ohio. How about that? I saw him. Roast at birdfuck.com. I saw him. The tune of Benny and the Jets by Sir Elton John. Thanks for the great show, Jemmy and everybody else, Matt and Cincy. Our guest is also from Ohio.

How about that? Roast at birdfuck.com. I saw him play it live. You did really? Oh wait, that's right. You went with your mom. Uh, no. I'm misremembering it.

I thought you took your mom to Elton John when she was in town. I took my mom to Billy Joel. Sorry, Mitch. The other piano man. Dodger Stadium. My family went to Billy Joel. Sorry, Mitch. The other piano man. Dodger Stadium. My family went to Billy Joel without me. Wow.

That's fucked up. Yeah. I watched wrestling while they were there. Maybe the right move. Saw Elton John in LA on his like goodbye tour, which has lasted a really long time. And then in Atlanta when I was down there for Tomorrow War. Wow, saw him twice.

Saw him twice. Did he do Benny and the Jets both times? Yes, I think so. Oh, you know what? He opened with Crocodile Rock and I was like missing that. I saw him do it again. Yeah. When I was in LA, I was coming in late with,

I think with Armin as you're all with. Yeah. Great show, great performer-wise. So you know what? I'm OK with it. It's a fun roast. It's a fun roast. I'll tell you.

And our roaster was saluting, was thanking Jemmy. But Jemmy and Emma are out of town. No Jemmy, no Emma. It's a dude's day. It's just dudes. It's a dude's day here in the office. Fittingly for our guest, it's a dude's day. Dude's day sounds like doomsday a little bit. It does sound like doomsday a little bit.

I mean, it's kind of a- Dude's day, doomsday? That sounds like a- It's kind of a doomsday scenario. It's like a dude's day. It's like all dudes are left. Oh man. You imagine a world of just dudes.

You think it's paradise at first, it's like, it's just us fellas. And then you're like- We could jack it whenever's just us fellas, and then you're like we could jack it whenever we want boys But then you're like what am I gonna jack off to shit fuck? Burma's looking pretty good Irma's not there man. That's this is a nightmare. It's a dude's day scenario mother sister. Everyone's gone. They're all gone This is I don't like this yeah, no I don't like it at all cows are gone no milk oh my god only bulls well that's good though milk guy we gotta use bull milk man why cuz I had it I had some um felt like I

was in the Garden of Eden earlier, because I had some apple envy. You were over there with an apple. That's right. I brought an apple from home. There was some apple envy going on in the Garden of Eden. More like the Garden of Eden. I wish they had thought of that back then. Can you imagine? I mean, maybe they would have been laughing. They never would have eaten the apple. They probably wouldn't have done it. They would have been like, ah, that's fun. Was there no other food? It was just the one. There was other food. There was other stuff. It was plentiful. There was like bounty, but there was like the one forbidden fruit. I think that's the whole thing.

Was the apple. Yeah, but then, you know, the sin of man is like you can't resist the, you know, the forbidden. Would it be worth it't resist the, you know, the, the, the forbidden. Would it be worth it for an apple? Do you think to risk it, to risk all that for an apple? Apples are pretty good. Yeah. And then it's also like, it was just, you know, like, if you were Adam there, the

snake is like, you fucked the apple. I'm super into pomegranates now and I can't get any so I just eat apples and it's like a second tier thing for me because the whole time I'm eating and I'm like I wish I had pomegranates. How do you, here's a quick because I always think of like the pomegranate seeds or the pomegranate juice. Do you eat the flesh of the pomegranate? No, no, no.

You cut it open and you take the seeds out of it. And then you eat the seeds and don't buy the ones that are already broken down because they're all every one of them is rotten. Every single one. You get like a 70 percent chance they're going to be rotten. So it sounds like shit. Yeah, it sucks. But if you can get a whole pomegranate, it's great. But that's a very different experience

eating like biting into an apple versus eating the seeds of a pomegranate So I can get why you're feeling deprived. Yeah, it's sad. It's very sad. I paid I People that listen to guys and stuff know this I before I left for California like three weeks before I ordered pomegranates off of a website And it took him like two and a half weeks to send it. I had to send him an email so they got here like one day before I was leaving for California so we just put it in a refrigerator in the bag that in the box they sent it in and left. When I got home I opened the refrigerator there were only two rotten pomegranates in there and I paid $35 each for them.

Wow. It said $70 small box of pomegranates. So I bought it and I thought it was going to be like five or six. It was two. Two. Two of them. Man. I'm trying to order our lunch, by the way, if you're seeing.

Well, look, you can go ahead and do that. But while you do it, like if we can multitask a little bit you want to play your drop so we can introduce our guests alright Casey can you hit them with a drop that's me playing the drop you're actually taking a shower. Yeah, I was thinking over the drain I think it's something I think it's something I think of it, it's something, the, the, I'll think, I'll think of it. Ooze, ooze, ooze, ooze, ooze, ooze, ooze, ooze, ooze, ooze, I think of it, it's something, the, the, I'll think of, I'll think of, I'll think of,

I'll think of, I'll think of, I'll think of, I'll think of, I'll think of, I'll think of, I'll think of, I'll think of,

I'll think of, I'll think of, I'll think of, I'll think of, I'll think of, I'll think of, I'll think of, I'll think of,

I'll think of, I'll think of, I'll think of, I'll think of, I'll think of, I'll think of, I'll think of, I'll think of, who it's from as soon as I just look at my email here. That's all I have to do is just look at my email. Okay. Yeah, open up my email, look at it, and then I can give credit for the drop. That's right. Email looking at email, little looking at email music. Got it, you got it?

Drop for tomorrow. Oh wow, didn't even make it through the whole jingle. Oh, you can finish. No, no, no, that was towards the end. No, no, please finish. Email looking looking at email Mitch gonna find the email well the song is right drop alright so that was reading Emma's email who's that she forwarded to drop for the IHOP 6 sonic menu oh fuck that's not it either there's no there is no there's nothing in the email that's the it either. There's no, there is no, there's nothing in the email. That's the issue. Wow, empty body?

Drop credit, Boris from Chicago. Wow, thanks Boris from Chicago. Mm-hmm, that's it. Drops at birdfuck.com. Good work, Boris. You know, Mitch, as I mentioned earlier, it's a fitting that this is a dude's day. It's fitting that it's just us guys,

because we have as our guest, very, very excited to get him in the main feed. Yes. The host of Guys, a podcast about guys, Brian Quinby is here. Brian, thanks so much for being here. Hey, I love boys day. My whole life is boys day.

I live with two women, but I'm constantly reading guys. Brian, we were supposed to do this because you were in LA recently as you were talking about with your pomegranate saga. And we were supposed to have you in studio, and then the day before recording, I got like the sickest I've gotten in my adult life.

I was so fucking sick, and we had to reschedule your record. We had to reschedule Mike Hanford's record. It was a real bummer. I'm glad we're able to do this now, but yeah. I'll be honest with you, it was just very unprofessional. I've ordered our lunch, by the way, speaking of unprofessional.

Thanks, Mitch. Lunch is in. Wow. Should we tell the folks where we're going? They might wanna know. Sweet Fin Poke. That's right. Which I think we probably,

I don't know how exactly these episodes are gonna be sequenced, but we probably have already reviewed Poke Bar with our buddy, Payman Benz. Yeah, which got us maybe on this Poké kit. And we talked about how we preferred Sweetfin. And on that note, I want to real quick acknowledge, speaking of being sick, I got the Rumblies as well

from Pokébar after we recorded, like Payman did. And so I'm going to mend my fork score right now. I think it's down to one and a half forks. I think I'm deducting a full fork because I was saying I probably won't go back there. Now I really won't go back there. If I can't trust this place to not get me sick, like what are we doing here?

What type of rumblies you talking? Yeah. Like bad stuff. Is this a little bit of diarrhea? Like, well yeah, I was definitely dealing with like diarrhea like, you know, like bad shits, but also just like- See dude, dude, it's the guys episode. It's old dudes.

You can say whatever you wanna do. You say, you can talk about the consistency of the shit. Oh, right, right, yeah, I know. Yeah, what's a diarrhea? Well, I mean, what kind, I famously posted a bodily functions ranking one time. Yeah, you had shitting last, right? Yes, but if it's diarrhea, it's three.

Yeah, diarrhea is a little higher. Actually, like, that's the thing is like, it's a, so it's a looser consistency to your stool. So that actually like feels a little bit more pleasant. But the issue, Mitch, was more that like the stomach pain, more like the guts, like, like, there's just like that general gunkiness. My guts are hurting, like that intestinal distress.

And that is worse than the bowel movement itself. The bowel movement, if anything, is just, is, has a cleansing effect. effect. I love it. Yeah. Yeah, no, it feels, look, the guys can talk about this, us dudes, it feels good when that happens. It's true. When you're flushed out, you know what I mean? Yeah, no, 100%. It's like ladies won't get this. It's just dudes talk. Brian, when you were out here in California, did you have any good pivoting from shitting to eating? Did you have, and the cause of shitting,

did you have any good food out here? I weirdly was good while I was there. Oh, interesting. I stayed at a very weird hotel that was like a casino, too. It was a card casino, too. It was a card casino. Did you stay in the city of commerce or something?

Where did you stay, exactly? Belle Gardens. Oh, Belle Gardens. Yeah, yeah. It's because there's pockets out here. There's certain cities where the card rooms are legal. Yeah, that's what it is. I think Hollywood is the city of commerce in a way, too.

Well said, Mitch. Most Chicago and Wall Street too. Yeah. I did. Man, the dudes are smart. Those dudes are pretty fucking smart. I will say in LA, I don't remember anything I had that was crazy in LA, but there is a place

in Joshua Tree called The Des. Yeah. That is so good. They had this sandwich, this turkey sandwich with pesto and I don't know, provolone cheese that I came home and tried to make, and it just isn't working out for me. Like I can't get it the same way they had it. Yeah.

You can't recreate it. That yeah. Cause that's bullshit. I hate that. Hate it. It seems like so easy and I'm not a bad cook either. I mean, it's a sandwich, so you wouldn't have to be a good cook to to make it But like I can usually do something like that, but I've been I've tried it like three or four times

And my daughter really liked it So I've been she's probably just being nice. No, not my sandwich. She didn't like my sandwich But I know I feel bad. I ate a ton of acai bowls and I usually get in and out when I'm out there. Yeah. And I got it once. And by the time I got it back to the hotel room,

it was lukewarm and it made me feel horrible. And I was like, I'm not eating this anymore. But my favorite place was the Dez in twenty nine poems. That was like the big it was really good. So I don't I can't I was so like when I was there. Like I because I went to Fairbanks, Alaska last year. Or yeah, in November last year. And I this is this is a guy a guys podcast so I can say this.

People who have listened to guys will know this. I didn't go to the bathroom for the whole time I was there. Oh, man, that's bad. And then I got on this. Well, I got on the airplane and then it was like, oh, it's time to like go to the bathroom. And I was like trying to hold it and I was sweating in my seat and the flight attendant was like, Hey, I need you to go sit back by the bathroom. I went back there and finally on the airplane feeling as guilty as possible because I know

you're not supposed to do that on the airplane, but it just happened. So this time I was like, I'm going to be gone for two weeks. I'm going to get a lot of fiber. I'm going to make sure that I go to the bathroom while I'm in California. So I really like, I really didn't have a foodie trip. You know? Yeah, no, I mean, I get that. That's sensible.

And like for me, like, and I've talked about this on another episode, but like, I kind of think of like the Maslow's hierarchy of needs for travel and like thinking of like, like shitting is so important to me, like getting a good shit out that like, when we travel for doughboys, I, you were talking about fiber, I take those, Mitch, you've seen them, I have these Benafiber packets I travel with.

Me too! I have them three times a day, yeah, and it's so helpful because it just like keeps me regular when I have an unpredictable meal schedule, I'm going to different time zones, I may be meeting something like that's complete garbage just because I need to have something in my body. Man, going to the bathroom on a plane, horrid.

It's awful, an absolute nightmare. I also am like- It was a lot, Mitch. I'd say it was just a whole lot. That sucks. Well, on the way to Alaska, I got so hot on the airplane that I went to the bathroom and I ripped the crotch out of my underwear

because it was so sweaty down there. And now people make fun of me on my show because I did that. But like it really saved me because I was, I was just burning up. It's a 10 hour flight. And I was just like, I went into bathroom and just grabbed and ripped and had crotchless underwear for the rest of the flight.

And that solved that problem. So like that Alaska trip, I was on my worst behavior possible the whole time. So this trip was the trip where I get to redeem myself and be normal. And then I did a, I tried to go down to Mexico to get drugs and had a whole thing. Wait, what happened? Were you able to get into Mexico? Yes, I did get into Mexico. I got it. I drove down there to Tijuana

and I knew that you could go to a pharmacy and they would sell you Xanax there. That's what I knew. And I was like, I'm gonna get a little bit of recreational Xanax, you know, cause I'm traveling. It'll be a nice fun thing for me, you know? But I didn't even park the car.

I drove around in a circle like for an hour and a half and got pulled over by the police. They searched me and then they let me go. I got to the border border patrol in line stop, had the dog run through the car and search me and ask me like all these questions. And then when I got to the border, they searched me again. Oh, my God. I was so suspicious like now that I've talked to my co-host Chris. Yeah. I realized that I was maybe a little bit suspicious driving a rent-a-car going to Tijuana

for two hours and then coming back. I had not considered what that would look like. Did you wait so you said you drove around but did you were just like would look like. Did you wait? So you said you drove around. Did you were just like getting cold feet? Did you not want to actually go through with it? Or did you end up getting the Xanax? No, I didn't get the Xanax. That's really the main reason people make fun of me.

They're like, it's really good that you didn't get it because they were going to catch you. Right, right. I wonder how much trouble you get in for. Yeah, I don't think you get in trouble for Xanax because it's a prescription medication, not that I have a prescription, but I've heard you can bring like that. Mexico can. I don't know anything about it.

Like I said, I failed completely at this whole thing. Yeah. But yeah, I I that was the only mishap on my last trip. Did you run the car in the in the United States and then drive with it into Mexico? I did that. And that's also I think not legal, I think. Right. Well, neither neither is anything I was doing at that I don't know. They had a weird rules with in Canada.

Yeah. In a car for eight hours, basically, because three hours there, three hours back, two hours driving around and getting searched. And then it's just so fucking. Now, when I think about it now, like that was really stupid, but it seemed really smart to me at the time, like, I will have a nice little fun time with some drugs. I don't. Right.

I like purposely don't have people that hook ups in Columbus because I don't want to have access to drugs all the time. Yeah, that makes sense. Well, I just want to say a shout out to this Ritz Crackers and Cheese box. Yeah, for people on the audio feed, and I don't think they've been, you've

been very covert about your crunching. You had munch on your way through some Sargento's and some some Ritz This is not branded content that doughboys can't be bought but nice little two-pack and matched perfectly the cheese and the cracker Oh, it's wonderful. The wonder one on this pack. It was Wow. That's the dream. No extra crackers. There you go I got a question for you. Yeah This is a very dude question. Yeah, you think you dudes would be able to resist that apple in the Garden of Eden? I mean, if God told me no, I generally follow what he says. Yeah, I probably. How's this? What if it was a

restaurant turkey sandwich and you only had homemade turkey sandwiches? Oh, interesting. I need it. I think, and I almost feel like that's unfair. It's well, cause like the apple, I think is yeah. If you, maybe it's like the surrogate for your, you know, forbidden desire for, for the, the taboo. Yeah.

I mean, that's, that's the whole idea. So yeah, it should be in your mind's eye, what the, the most desirable food is. That's a cheeseburger. Like I would definitely. I do like a burger. I love a burger and I like a smash burger, which is one that I don't think is possible to make at home, which I've been trying to do.

I bought all kinds of hamburger equipment to try to figure out how to make them at home, but it never works out. I like the phrase hamburger equipment. Very technical. Are you, what do you do? Do you got a grill where you live? You're making that in a fry pan?

I feel like a flat top is the best way to do it. That's the ideal, yeah. I bought one of those griddles that are like cast iron that you put across two things. And then one of the things you apparently need for a smash burger is a really good sharp Spatula, which is the kind they use it the at the restaurant and I didn't have one of those But it the last time I tried to make it it was like so

Close, but it was still a little too thick because like Shake Shack joined the BDS or Shake Shack is on the BDS, the boycott thing for the for whatever. Yeah, I didn't know that. Yeah. Okay. What is it? What is it? What does it add to it? It's like a boycott thing.

Yeah, it's companies you boycott for, you know, shitty politics, basically. Got it. Got it. Talking very generally. So I. basically. Got it, got it, got it. Talking very generally. So I, uh, but it's my, it's my favorite place.

That's my favorite burger. So the goal is to figure that out, like figure that burger out. And uh, I don't know, cause five guys is bad now too. Like not bad politically, but they probably are. But I think the burgers are terrible. It's it's declined there. It's like so you're you're in Columbus and we should talk about this a little bit because Columbus is speaking of burgers.

Columbus is the home of Wendy's, I believe. Yes, it is. Are you a Wendy's man? No, I feel like Wendy's is dying. It's like falling off of a lot off of it. We we agree with that, though. I will sometimes go on the spicy chicken sandwich will still be that still hitting usually. Yeah. My daughter eats that sometimes. I think when when when I first started listening to you guys, I remember talking to Nick and saying like Burger King is dead. Yeah, I think this place is dead. And Wendy seemed like it was like a few tears over Burger King. But it kind of feels like Wendy's and Burger King are dying now. And all I think, like all of those classic places are going to fuck up,

and they're going to think that they can do what? Like Five Guys and Shake Shack and Chipotle and stuff. I think they're all going to fuck up and try to do that. And then everything's just gonna be the same thing. Because those, the classic fast food places are struggling. There is like this kind of conversion that happens. It's like, you see that with the fucking, that we were just talking about the Wendy's spicy chicken,

which is its own thing. But since the Popeye's chicken sandwich, there are so many versions of the exact same fucking chicken sandwich. And it's all these companies that are just like so imitative that they're just like... And then no one cares anymore. And then no one cares. And then it just becomes this generic feeling thing. I haven't had that Popeyes chicken sandwich in a while and I still do think it's very good.

That sandwich is great. It's just all the pretenders that are just like I could do away with. You know what? I gotta say, I had BK the other night. I was at Tonga Hut. I was recording our friend of the pod Super Dave, his podcast. Oh, what's up, Super Dave? And I had a few drinks and went over and saw Kong X Godzilla. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, I thought it was kind of bad. I like all the other ones, but this one was was like was too much like like all like CG cutscenes and a bit

It barely takes place in the States. I still haven't seen I mean not the States I don't need it in you. I don't need The United States, but it takes place in like a lot of it takes place in like netherworld or you know The color you mean like like an earth it doesn't take place in like the earth Yeah, whatever the fuck that yeah what Is the other realm called like Kong which takes place a lot in? Yeah Kong middle middle earth or under I think it's under Hollow earth is what it's all over Yeah, this little earth is the Lord of the Rings one this one

I this was my least favorite of the of the kinds I feel like I feel like it's mine, too Yeah, it's it's it's this one this one this one suffered, but I got a little bit feel like it's mine too. I feel like it's mine too. I've not seen it. Yeah, this one's suffered, but I got a little bit of a Mitch's movie around it. I've seen a few. And also, it got me thinking of this idea. I know I gotta get to Burger King in a second. But is there a food that you eat off of your body more than popcorn?

Any of those sorts of snacks- Pretty good fucking question, you ask me. It is a good question. I find myself doing it with- Pretty good fucking question. Mitch, it's a great question. I'm yelling at the listeners. Pretty good fucking question, you ask me. It is a good question. I find myself doing it with- Pretty good fucking question. Mitch, it's a great question. I'm yelling at the listeners. Pretty good.

I don't know what's this question Mitch is gonna ask. It's gonna suck. No, it's a fucking good fucking question. It was a good question. I mean, sushi, I guess, is like- Well, no, that's like the horny guy answer. Sure. That's like-

Yeah, that's like if you ask the head gum hunks. Right. Sushi, of course. The, I think popcorn is great, especially because you're in the dark. But I'm a bit of a popcorn skeptic, but I do find myself doing it with similar foods. Like if I'm on the couch eating chips,

I got ruffles on my shirt or Cheetos or whatever. Yeah, that's a big one to eat off of my clothes thing. Brian, you ever eat off your clothes? Well, no, I'm out on like chips. Like I don't like chips very much. I am like, I like soft things. Like, I don't know if that sounds weird. Oh, interesting.

You don't need a crunch. No, I don't like a crunch. When I eat cereal, I let it sit for a few minutes to get soggy while like I'll just make it, pour it, wait about five minutes, come back and it's time to eat the cereal. And it's delicious. I love it. So I like, don't eat a lot of chips. So I don't eat a lot of things like off my clothes because I don't, those foods are all, if I could pick one, it would be soft pretzels.

I'm like obsessed with those. That's what I had in LA to wet souls pretzels. That shit was great. I made my family eat there. I ate it before they got there and I was like, we gotta go to this place, man. Oh man. It's clear you're a fan of soft stuff because you're on the softest podcasters in the game in every sense. I'm a softer host. Yeah, there's no softer in every way. No, I bitch, the subject is clear.

I get all of it. Wait, hold on. So- You're Burger King-thought. Yes. Well, also, I guess popcorn is probably the number- Popcorn's probably number one because you're in the dark and it's a little piece. Um, uh, yes, I saw, uh, Kong X Godzilla and I saw the first Omen, which I thought was okay. I didn't like love it, but I thought it was, I thought it was good. I like it a little bit more than you, but I also did not love it. Yeah. Either you see first Omen.

in? Uh huh. I not bad. I saw something. I've seen a movie every week for the past few weeks. I cannot remember what I saw last week, but uh, for someone's not a bat for, for, for the big, uh, you know, one of the big reasons I saw free time, which is a, this comedian, I gotta see it. It was good. I heard it was good. It was, yeah, it was, it was funny movie. But anyways, after I went to Kong X Godzilla, Godzilla, I went to BK, and I got like a snack wrap sort of thing, a Buffalo snack wrap, and Whopper. Look, I had had a bit of the munchies.

What can I say? Colin Burgess, by the way, that's the- Colin Burgess, yes, the standup, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think he's a standup, I know, he's funny. He made a good movie. But I got a Whopper and the whopper, as we say, Wags, the whopper was hitting

and you know what? The fries were pretty good too. I had a good BK experience. It could make sense because I was in North Hollywood, which we talked about like, if you go into the Valley or if you go into Glendale, usually the- There's better versions of the chains. Is that, wait, is that the case in Columbus?

Are there different areas where it's just like, oh, yeah, if you want to get what there's the good BK is over here. You know, I mean, the Burger King, the only burger I live in downtown Columbus and the closest Burger King is terrifying. Yeah. And it's like 20 minutes away. And like all of the chains are like 20 minutes away from here.

So I actually don't. I stopped ordering Uber Eats when I moved downtown. So now I'm like I'm kind of a snob in a weird way. Like I eat at local eat at local places. Sure. Time now, because I don't live close to any. I don't know. Yeah, that's what I mean. Donald or anything like that. local places. Sure. Time now, cause I don't live close to any, I don't live close to a McDonald's or anything like that. So there's a,

there's like a local chain here called a Brassica that makes like, uh, they make these sandwiches that are like Mediterranean. And I, I get that a lot, but I, I, yeah, I have to really be dying for Burger King to, to want to go to the Burger King that nobody's ever at. And people are just sitting outside smoking weed. I know that feeling French fries, the two I the main chain

I eat is potbelly sandwiches. I go to potbelly as I get the sandwich and I go to McDonald's and get the fries because I don't like chips. So that's like my most kind of fast food thing that chain thing and I would like combo. Yeah I I want to do I would just just to drill this down is the crunch aversion Is that like a sensitive teeth thing or is it not like it's purely some matter of like it? It just doesn't appeal to you. Your ancestors probably didn't eat bugs because they say that we like chips.

That's true, yeah. It's the same sort of texture. These, the protein rich bugs. You like the kind. I can see my ancestors. I could see my ancestors not being into bugs. I tried crickets one time and did not like them at all. So, there's like taco seasoning on them.

And I was like, hey, they taste like taco seasoning. I was like, they feel like fucking crickets. Yeah, I don't like this. Yeah, it is. I'm not a bug guy. I'm not eating bugs. I've had that. I've had like the Chapulinas before, which is like the season crickets or grasshoppers

or whatever it is. And like I do like like it, but it is like a mental hurdle. If you're not used to it, you have to you have to get over. I don't want to get over that hurdle. There's some hurdles in life. I don't need to get over. That's one of them. I get it. I don't need to get over that hurdle. If we live in bug eating times, I'm just going to force myself to do it. I don't need to practice. and they live in a chicken coop and they shit in a bucket. So like, I do not understand like prepare, like I'm not a prepper at all. And I figure I'll just do it. You know, if it all ends, then I'll be there

just doing whatever, eating bugs or whatever the fuck you end up doing after that. I got a question for you. I know you're about to move on to one, but. No, no, go for it. What's your what is your favorite? You may have said this, so I apologize if so. But what's your favorite fast food smash burger?

Shake Shack. I mean, OK, I think it's the I really think that they because it's small. I think what ends up happening a lot of times is the, the size of the, the beef, right? The amount that they use is still too high because for a while it was those huge burgers were like the style. I know when I was in LA, the first time I went to burgers, never say die.

And I thought that was the perfect meal. I thought like they got it exactly right. And I still think about that meal. But if I have to pick a chain, it's definitely Shake Shack because they they I guess they use less beef. Like they're smaller and that's what you're looking for. And I don't think they quite understand, like a lot of these places quite understand that, like, I don't want a huge fucking like burger.

Like I don't I don't I don't like that. How are you even fucking supposed to eat it? And so, yeah, I think it would be Shake Shack, which that's why I'm trying to learn how to make burgers now, because I have to fucking boycott it. Right. Burgers never say die Quincy. That's right.'m trying to learn how to make burgers now because I have to fucking boycott it. Right. Burgers never say die. Quincy. That's right. Got to start at that place. Yeah, there's a good connection.

And then- It's so good. There's a place called For the Win that I try that smash burgers. And it used to be this restaurant called Papiels and I had it the other night. But you know what happened, Wags? What's that? The ketchup had turned in the Mitchell house. Oh, what a bummer.

The ketchup had gone bad. You know, it just like tasted off. It's just, it's been too long. What do you, do you keep it in the cabinet? You keep it on the counter? You keep it in the fridge? I keep it in the fridge mostly. My mom used to always just keep it. I'll go home and my mom just keeps it in the cabinet.

Yeah. And I told you this, I think before, we talked about this, yeah. It gets like brown and I'm like, this doesn't look good to eat. She's like, it's fine, it's got vinegar in it. That's what she says to everything. I think she is, I think she is right there. Like, it's a She's like, it's fine, it's got vinegar in it. That's what she says to everything. I think she is right there.

Yeah, it's technically right, it tastes like shit. Yeah. I kinda like it more because I don't like cold ketchup or cold mustard. Like, you know. Oh, I love it. You like it, you like the contrast. I get that, I don't like it cold either, for preservative sake, I like to keep it in the fridge.

Even that had turned, even this ketchup stain in the fridge had turned. I have never in my life heard of ketchup turning. This is really the first time I've ever heard of it. My ketchup had turned, it turned, it turned bad. My grandma, my grandma Jo RIP, she didn't drink soda herself herself but she kept them in the fridge for guests and like you know we went to visit her and so she'd had this like pepsi that had been sitting there for like six months or whatever and it expired and if you ever had expired pepsi it fucking tastes like shit it tastes like you're drinking saline you're you're there's no there's i don't know how it happens it's just like the sweetness completely dissipated.

By the way, I call your grandma, Joe, grandma Brandon. How dare you? You get it. I get it. It's my beloved grandmother. I love her too. Don't call her grandma Brandon. Well, I just don't, you know, that's,

I just, there's other grandmas that I think of. If you're gonna say that, I'd say let's go Brandon, cause I love not Brandon. Well, I just don't, you know, that's, there's other grandmas that I think of. If you're gonna say that, I'd say let's go Brandon, cause I love my grandma. All right, fine. That's fair. Hold on, I got more questions for you. I got a couple questions. Go for it.

One, does everyone fit snugly into a airplane bathroom? That's my first question. It's, yeah, cause for me me. It's as much as anything It's a height issue like I can't believe how much I have to fucking Fucking tall thin man over here. No, I'm not saying I'm thin. I'm a fat piece of shit, too But I like I so but I I'm saying like don't you feel that don't you feel like you have to duck and I hit My head in that airplane bathrooms repeatedly so much so that even if I'm just peeing which is nor which is like 95% of the time,

that's what I'm doing in an airport bathroom. If you're not, it sucks. If you're not, it's an absolute nightmare. I'm not jacking off in there. I mean, we didn't assume that. Yeah, I know, but I just want to say, like whatever the five percent is shitting, 95% is...

Now I am questioning the five percent. Yeah, now I think at least two and a half percent would be a good job. But like, I would just sit down to pee just so I don't hit my head. OK, you never like, at least gave it a stroke or two? No, I don't do that shit. Have you?

Yeah, right. Have I stroked it? I mean, not up there. No, come on. That's crazy. All right. Mile High Club. Have you stroked just once in the bathroom?

All right, if that is the case, then I will join the mile hot club at some point. I'm going to stroke it at least just once. I feel like the Hulk. I feel like Hulk ish. I feel like the sides are. I just feel like my shoulders are not fitting in there. I mean, I'm a fat piece of shit, too, of course. But I can't fit in the airplane bathroom.

I think it sucks. I was so nervous when I had to shit in the airplane bathroom that I was kind of hovering over it and pulling the door shut. Like I was just terrified that I'd be in there shitting in the door would fly open, which already everybody knows what I'm in there doing and I ruin their flight. Just don't come in here. God, that's a, I try not to ruminate about that, but whenever I think of a situation like that where I'm like, other people are now telling the story of the thing I did that

I'm embarrassed about. Oh man. Yeah. Like I was on this plane, this guy went, like I was sitting near the bathroom, this guy took this fucking huge shit. Yeah. And stung for like two hours. That's like the guy who puked on my ass.

Yeah, right, yeah. I'll tell that story forever. He puked on my fucking ass. And that guy doesn't know that that's being told on a podcast. He shouldn't know. I've been hoping to puke. I honestly had been hoping it was puke.

Yeah. When I was sitting in the seat that the flight attendant moved me to, I was like, please, please be puke, please. Cause I like to puke. It's less embarrassing for whatever reason. It really is. I don't know why. It's like, I think I was like, please, please be puked. Please. Cause I, I like less embarrassing for whatever reason. It really is. I don't know why it's like, I think people are like, you can control the other one, which isn't really the case, but you know, like, uh, like

with puke, they're like, Oh, you, I feel bad for this person who's sick. I think I had shooting at number two on my body functions list. I can't find that again, but it was like nutting then puking. Right. Puking is the second best bodily fluid. I put pissing over puking, but I do understand that puking makes you feel better always. Like anytime I puke, I'm like, oh man.

Last time I was sick, when we had to retake the sport. I did, I fucking puked. I puked really, really painfully to the point where Natalie was asking through the bathroom door if I was okay. I was like, I won't make the sound now. But it was, I was puking and then you like, I kept puking and then it was just puking like

the remnants of what was in my empty stomach. So it was like, it was horribly unpleasant. But afterwards I did feel a lot better. I don't, I, yeah, I want to kill myself before I puke. So it's hard for me to get there. I don't, yeah, I wanna kill myself before I puke, so it's hard for me to get there. I don't like doing it. So I would say, I would say, crimping and then pissing would be my quarter.

I'd probably put pissing above puking, but I do understand the case for puking. I don't know where I'd put shitting, because shitting sometimes, I hate it. You just hate it always. Hate it so much, unless it's diarrhea, I just hate it always. I hate it so much unless it's diarrhea. I just hate it so much.

Hahahaha Hahahaha Hahahaha Hahahaha It's just caused me so many problems. Yeah. In my life. Like it's embarrassing. It is. It's loud. I think it's more embarrassing

than anything else. Yeah sure. It's up there. It's the worst thing that you have to do in life to me and I just and you're always Once you get old you always have to be thinking about it, too it's like you have to like I don't remember being like 20 and being like oh man, I got to figure out a way to You know keep my shits regular. Yeah I know I think that was my, I think it just never. That was like an early burden. I think it's just always a burden.

Yeah. Sucks. Yeah. No, I definitely was more like, I did not really think about shitting at all until I was like 30. And then from that point on, it's like just completely dominated my life.

And to the point where I'm just like, I just try to make it, I just try to front load it where I'm just like, I just try to make it. I just try to front load it where I'm just like, I can do my, if I get a good AM, BM, then I'm just set for the day and I just try to engineer my schedule like that. Lay an egg at the beginning of your day and you're done. Exactly. And then just move on from there. It seems like it aligned with you doing the podcast almost.

It's just nearly in line with us doing this bullshit, which I've just done forever anyways. My second question to you was how is that with that griddle, how's the grease management? Is that thing grease up? Is it hard to, like, I would be nervous about the grease getting everywhere. Another good question from the Spoon Man. It has like a lip up on the side, so it could very possibly get somewhere. So what I did in order to not have a ton of grease, I made bacon. Cause my favorite cheeseburger on the planet is the Western burger that nobody makes anymore.

Yeah. Did they have parties out there, Carl's Jr.? No, no. They might be either one of those here. Yeah. You just can't get one. I mean, I- BK does a rodeo burger,

but also as you said, you don't like BK is pretty bad. So your your particular BK. Yeah, yeah. Western. I just love that onion ring with barbecue sauce, cheddar cheese and bacon. So that's what I'm trying to make. Yeah. And so I did the bacon first up at the top of the thing. And then as the grease went down, I just use that grease to make the burger instead of putting more grease on it. Oh, wow. Was that smart? And that worked out too. And it was way less greasy than than I thought. So I think I'm getting close. You know, the other problem is that your house smells like cheeseburgers for like three days. Yeah, sure. And my wife's not a bad wife is a vegetarian. Oh, well that sucks. Oh man, that's bad.

That's a problem. I got one of those air filters actually. I just have it positioned in our kitchen now. And it's actually pretty, like I just have it angled away from the kitchen and towards the window. And then we just turn it on for like an hour or any time that we cook something stinky. It does a pretty remarkable job of clearing out the odor.

Because that was like a problem. In does a pretty remarkable job of clearing out the odor. Cause that was like a problem. And our particular layout, all these apartments now, they have, I think this is just how anything is built. They all have like an open layout. And I'm like, I just like, I kind of want a closed kitchen. Can I have a kitchen that just like, hat is a separate room with a door that closes

that just keeps all the kitchen stink in there so the entire apartment doesn't smell like whatever you last made? I just like hearing this cause I can kind of visualize what your apartment looks like a little bit, which I've never been inside of. But um, you know what you need to know? Uh, Palmerston had that little shitty slide, the little flap door. Remember? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. But I agree with you. They're like, yeah, the living room and kitchen, all of it is just connected now. Yeah. My place too. Same thing. Yeah. Um, well, next time

you come out, you should try For the Wind. That's another good smash burger. And you know what? Just seasoned. You eat it, and it's like, oh, there's pepper and salt on this burger. Yeah, exactly. Which goes so far, which so many places don't do that.

Just give you a plain patty, and it's like, what is this? Yeah. Brian, we've got to talk about IHOP, but I do want to talk about guys, guys the podcast and guys in general a little bit I first off want to say and I've told you I told you this up five, but like I love the podcast guys It's so fucking funny, man. I'm on the patreon. I'm listening. I'm laughing strongly recommended to everyone out there It's so great and Mitch and I guessed it on an early episode. We talked about hot sauce guys, but I want to just do a quick run through

of other like food guys you've talked about on the pod. Some of which were, you talked about bourbon guys, I know. You talked about foodies. You talked about wine guys. And then this is a kind of guy I really like, the Yelp guy. I love it. I found my favorite guy on the Yelp well a recently guy that Reviews casinos and says you're gonna hear from my lawyer because I lost I came there

Four times and lost nine hundred dollars and that seems impossible. I think it's all fixed. I'm calling my lawyer That's my new favorite guy, but there was a Yelp guy on the Yelp episode that people love. I've read every one of his reviews on the show and he had a very particular way of reviewing things where he would say, okay, so me and Chris have brought, said this that there should just be a three star scale everywhere. It should be good middle bad. Chris James your co-host. Yeah. Yeah.

And I think that's like because I don't think people can handle more stars. Like I don't think yeah, the people do know you're right. People have trouble with the granularity between three stars, four stars and five stars. And so you end up with this like polarization of everything's fucking five stars or one star and, and the middle, the middle numbers are not helpful anymore. We've talked about this and I, like, I, even on like letterbox or whatever, I don't like the five star system is bad anyways. It's not, it's not helpful. And then with restaurants too, it's like people and like also like, you know,

like some of a restaurant is whatever it's sometimes the restaurant does something fucked up, but if it's like, hey, they went to this place and this popular online reviewer didn't like it, then it's going to get swarmed with one-star reviews and bullshit like that. Exactly. There's been some revelations from looking at people we know as Yelp reviews. I won't say who it is. Oh, no, we know some Yelp guys.

We know some Yelp guys. There's also a pretty famous director, producer that was like a Yelp guy that I found out. I'm not going to say who it is. Oh, no, we know some Yelp guys. We know some Yelp guys. There's also a pretty famous director or producer that was like a Yelp guy that I called. I'm not gonna say who it is, but you see, and you can truly see what a psycho that person is if you look at their Yelp. Who the fuck, who the fuck care? I mean, like, it's so crazy.

It's so crazy to be so mad about a review about a restaurant to write a thing about it. It's like, just don't go there anymore. It's fine. I think if you give me one second, I'm going to read you one of this guy's reviews because I think you'll totally get why he's such a guy. Right.

And his name is his name is Tony K and he lives in he lives in Vancouver, which is where my co-host lives and Here's the first review Two stars for the Flying Pig and he goes used to love this place not anymore to be fair I used to go at lunchtime and it was pleasant Went for dinner and didn't realize it turns into one of those bars where the rock music is not only played, but played loudly. I asked the waitress to please change the music or put the volume down and she said she would, but she didn't. Sorry, you can't appeal the one sense, taste, and do a good job on it, but butcher me on another sound. And that's why that's a part of the reason they gave it two stars.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, you got to hear the pizza one is one star. And that's why that's a part of the reason they gave it two stars. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you got to hear the pizza one is one star. Now this pizza place had like good reviews, but it has one star and he goes great pizza, but one star for their water policy. And you're going to think this is one thing. I guarantee that it's the twist. He goes, I asked for a cup of tap water with my meal. No, we don't have cups.

They said, OK, I'll take your bottled water, but I can't drink cold water. But they only had refrigerated water. They offered me the demo bottle, which is displayed outside the fridge, but it was cold too. I don't mind paying a buck or two for water, but not for cold liquid which upsets my stomach and they weren't willing to go to the stock room to get a room temperature

bottle. Oh well. Like I said, good pizza. Like I said, great pizza, lousy water policy. water policy. Is these two things where if the water is cold, that's bad. That gets you a battery. And if the, if you play rock music, right, like that is the other thing, which I get it. I'm, I, I think like you can't give a place like a one star review because they're playing rock music. Cause you're the only person in the world that cares. I mean,

like I don't like going to five guys where they play that classic rock and it just, it's, it bugs me, but I wouldn't, well, I would give it a bad review now, but the guy just, he's a menace in Vancouver just giving one star reviews for places that are actually good. That's just your personal axe to grind. And it's like, there's a version of that where it's like a three star review

or a four star review, where you just like, note to anyone with sensitive ears, this place does play loud music. You know what I mean? Like you just throw that in as part of your review, but to like think that your own personal hangup is something that like defines the place objectively. I don't know, anyway, that brings me

to what I love about guys, which is just like, there's so many just like psychopaths who just comment on everything. And it's just fascinating. Like it doesn't matter what like subculture it is. Everyone is like fucking crazy in some particular way. Oh yeah. The foodies, I love the foodies episode we did with Branson from Episode 1 podcast.

And there is a guy that was in the foodie subreddit that argued all day. The taste is objective, not subjective. So he was like, he's explaining like you if you say you don't like that, you're wrong because it's actually good. We've all agreed on that. And it was just such a weird thing to fight about all day. Like, that's the thing that goes on really is like on Reddit. Yeah, it's just guys fighting all day about everything about guitars, about the Beatles, metal detecting, like everything I've done.

I've been able to find guys fighting with each other. And then there's another guy that came out on the sales guy episode that he's, he's let us down recently, but his name was David the shark and he only posts on LinkedIn and he only replies to like hot women and he pretends to be a shark in the reply. So he talks like I can't read books because I'm underwater and you know, a shark swims with its school of fish and stuff like that.

Like at first we were like, maybe he means shark like Mark Cuban, but he literally means the animals like he's a shark. He's a shark. He's warping as a shark. Yeah. Yeah. Just the stuff we've the stuff I've been able, the stuff when you really like, if you ever want to like do what I do, basically what you do is you pick a guy, you go to the website on Reddit and if you want a good laugh type wife and to the website on Reddit. And if you want a good laugh type of wife in because every one of them, a guy's the guitar one, this guy's mad because his wife's mad because he has too many guitars and he's sneaking guitars downstairs without her knowing like

he's buying he's constantly buying guitars and he's mad and the guys in the subreddit are like, how many pairs of shoes does she have? How many perfumes does she have? I can't believe this is still happening. We, well, we certainly don't have any psychopaths that comment about doble. No, certainly not. No, no, no. I do a fight about it last night.

I sent them something from the red last night and Wiger, you snapped on me. I was about to go to bed. I was confused by what the red person was saying about something about us using gift cards or Buffalo Wild Wings and then... I was like, what are they talking about? I was like, I don't need to see this shit. Why are you sending this to me? I never looked at it. And then I asked Weigar, I said, if you were poisoned and the solution for your poison was like the ingredients were on the Reddit, would you let me post, would you let me text

it to you? He said, no, he'd rather die than hear anything from the Reddit ever again. I said I would die of poisoning to prove that I was serious and if you don't believe me, then you don't know me. I do know you. And I know that you would do it. You're psychotic. Nick, I'm with you. Chris sometimes will go looking at stuff.

And he, on a show one time, was like, yeah, I was on the MurderXBrian subreddit. And I was like, no, there can't be one of those. Like, the fact that there's one, but everybody says they say nice stuff, but I'm afraid of them. Yeah, sure. So I can see one thing and just be like, oh, I suck. I should just quit.

It ruins your fucking day. And I just, I don't even see that shit. Or you're also like, you're mad at someone. And it's just like, that's again, it's like the water guy. It's like, this is one specific person's specific issue that actually does not reflect like a larger consensus, but because it's like negative and it's about you, you get you fixate on it and it becomes this thing

that gets blown up in your mind. So it's like, it's just healthier for me to not engage with it at all. I get it. There was one time, right? Where we did the rockabilly guys episode and a guy on on Twitter guy by the way all the guys on rockabilly guy. It was it's with Brace Speldon from yeah and on too. So it's an insane episode and a

guy got so mad. He posted about us all day. He's like what are these nerds talking about? Rockabilly's weird. You don't know nothing about rock. Rock music. Cool. And I was that I loved because he spent all day and then he deleted them all, which was a bummer because it was very funny how mad he was because he was

obviously just drop. That's one of the things about our show is that if, if you search for some of the things we've covered on the podcast app, we might come up. And so it's like, if you search for Kevin Smith and you see something called Kevin Smith Guys, then you're probably might click on it or like Seth MacFarlane guys, which isn't even out yet. But yeah, so like-

Yeah, just because you're a fan of it and you're like, oh, I'll listen to the Kevin Smith Guys guys episode. And then it's just like making fun of people like you. Then yeah, maybe you specifically, you know. Well, I have taken on like, that's the thing they all say is that I take on the guy, most of the guys that I have, like I've bought trapped these these uh these challenge coins yes because the chive sells them and I just I own a Kevin Smith challenge coin and a Chris Farley challenge coin I can't stop buying them I bought wait can you bring up the because I've only heard about this on the podcast I haven't actually seen it can you bring up the the the Matt Foley Chris Farley challenge coin I

get them both up people keep saying it's not a coin, which is bullshit. The chive called it a coin The chive would never I the chivalry has never lied to me before I've only really bought the one thing it took them forever to send by the way almost Impulse bought a lifetime subscription to the chive when we were recording the episode because they send you a coin. I think I like the coins, but I don't want to buy them because like some of them are $3,000. Like you can buy a Bill Murray coin for three grand and they sell out and they'll be like

it's legal tender in some place. So Mauritania or something. And they'll be like, it's legal tender in some place. So like, Or a Tanya or something. Yeah. Some small nation. I think my goal is to make enough money to buy one of the one that's legal tender, fly to the place where it's legal tender,

and try to spend a Kevin Smith coin at a store. See what happens. By the way, we've become more of hot sauce guys. We did the hot ones, which has that still... We did not do the hot ones. We did a Patreon segment. No one thinks we did the hot ones. When you say we did the hot ones, some dipshit is going to think we're going to be on an upcoming episode of the hot ones. That it'll be like Serena Williams,

and then the Doughboys, and then Michelle Obama. Yeah. Like that'll be, like we're on that same tier of guests. I don't, I think they know that we're not. We're not, we did it to- I think you are to me. Yeah. We did the, we did the hot sauce,

we tasted a bunch of hot sauces on the podcast. Yeah. And like, you know, I'm, part of why we did hot sauce, guys, I'm a bit of a heat seeker. I like spicy foods, but like there's a specific guy who is trying to just like pursue the like, I guess it's like a dick measuring thing, but it's also like, like maybe just like actively liking hurting yourself. I don't know what it is exactly.

Some of those super hot sauces are just like actively unpleasant. Yeah. Most of them. Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. The thing I remember Most of them. The thing, I'm sorry. The thing I remember from the episode that we did that I'll never forget is like, there's this 9 million Scoville hot sauce extract that people use to keep squirrels away from their garden. Yes. And you can go to Amazon and read the fucking reviews

and guys are eating it. And- You're like, this is fucking pesticide. to read the fucking reviews and guys are eating it and. Like this is fucking pesticide. But they're giving five stars because it made them feel like they were going to like I had this chili. I had like something last week and like, I'm not like I'm like in the middle when I get Indian food, I get three spicy, which is right there.

It's above average. I go close to mild now, but yeah, that can be a lot. I go three and I was like, oh, I guess I like spicy food now because it's not a big deal. And then I got this hot chili powder at an Asian grocery store. And and I was like I'm gonna throw this and I'm gonna throw this on a sandwich or something I don't remember what I even decided to throw it on I took

one bite and then I chugged my water filled it back up chugged my water get sat on the couch like with my tongue out breathing and sweating and I was no, maybe I don't like spicy stuff at all. I'm not, I'm not cut out for this kind of thing, but yeah, the guys, they eat, I think, I think the thing that we've found in the, in the time since we've done, since we've done the hot sauce guys episode is that, that like, there's no too hot.

Like people will, people will just keep, they're going to keep going. Like they, I really think that somebody probably has sprayed pepper spray on their sandwich to eat it because that's just hot sauce. I think you, if I could, I bet you could find that on YouTube or something. I'm sure someone's done it. I'm going to be looking for that when we finish. could find that on YouTube or something. I'm sure someone's done it. I'm going to be looking for that when we finish.

One thing I'm jealous of is that we don't have a fish review or some sort of shark or fish reviewer like that. That would be nice if someone wanted, if someone in the discord wants to, you know, LARP as a, as a shark, or maybe not, maybe not shark, maybe like a different source of fish, some sort of large sea creature. I guess we also very, we also very we also did on that episode. The other thing that everybody still brings up when I see somebody is like, so you really think the hot ones is rigged?

So I went back and listened to what I said. Yeah, I said, I don't I on the show. I said, I don't think it's rigged. Both of you guys said, I think it's rigged now. Like this is gonna be- We said it's rigged? Yeah, both of you. I can totally buy that it's rigged.

I can buy that it's rigged, but like, in what way do you think it's rigged? I think what we were saying is that like, there like, there's an arrangement. Like, do you remember when Hillary Clinton- Didn't DJ Khaled quit? Some of them quit immediately. Yeah, DJ Khaled quit. But I think there's a part that I can buy

into the conspiracy theory that there's some sort of arrangement that there's like, we actually got mild sauce in here, but you're just gonna act like it's spicy. Cause you don't actually wanna deal with it, but you wanna have the, you know, the cache of going on hot ones. It's like, do you remember when Hillary Clinton went on

like whatever that talk show was, it was like Kimmel or whatever, and she, like, opened a pickle jar? Because, like, during 2016, they were like, oh, she's too old. That was, like, the weird narrative at the time, even though she's, like, way younger than Biden and Trump are now. But, like, so she, like, that's the sort of thing.

It's like, that was just rigged, right? They just gave her a loose pickle jar for her to open. Do you think they actually were like, this is going to be tougher to open and she's gotta do it for real and risk her struggling in doing it? I think she did it and then went backstage and died and that's when they put the double in.

I do think the difference is that part of doing hot ones is that you have to look like you're in distress. Sure, that's true. That's part of the whole thing. If you don't look like you're in distress. Sure. That's true. That's part of the whole thing. If you don't look like you're in distress, it's not fun to watch. And people will say, I think it's fake. They, they used fake hot sauce or mild sauce, but I also can buy that maybe Katy Perry doesn't want to

be snotting out of her nose and stuff. Yeah. That is you're right. That, that's such a part of it. Now that you're on the other side of it, you've done the Hot Ones challenge, which would come out. That's right. Still hasn't come out. Yes. What do you, do you think it's still rigged?

I think that, I think that I can buy the argument, I can buy the theory that it's rigged. I also like to say things are rigged. Like even things like, I say the NBA is rigged, I'm wearing a Seattle SuperSonics hat, but like I do think the NBA is rigged I still like it yeah the the the I but it's so there's something South X got zero free throws the other day so this is just good time episode comes out they probably won the NBA finals yeah classic wrestling fan thing to say.

It's all work. Everything's a work. Exactly. Yeah. No, I, I, I, I, there's, there's some fun to saying it's all the work. There's some fun to saying it's rigged. So I do get that side of it. But if I'm actually lie detector, I don't think the hot ones is rigged.

Yeah. I want to say, I don't think so. I don't want Mitch to get really mad at me or anything, but I used to run around saying that when the Patriots won the Super Bowl right after 9 11 that it was, it had to be a work and they just wanted a team called the Patriots to win. Now that I'm a little bit older. I think you would have had the giant. You would have the giant. The giants or the jets. You should have had the giants with the jets. Yeah, it's the same with it's the same with the Diamondbacks beat the Yankees in that World Series. Yeah, that they should have rigged that for the Yankees. Yeah, I mean, I hate the Yankees, but sure. Yeah, why not rig it? They've won an investment. Who cares? One more might as well. Yeah. Summer's jam packed in the heat is no joke, Mitch, so we've got to prioritize hydration.

Doughboys. For Sparta! -♪ We gotta talk about IHOP. We first reviewed... Yeah, we gotta talk about that little blue fucker. We first reviewed, hey, speaking of guys, Sonic the Hedgehog guys, those have gotta be... Yeah, that's the blue fucker I'm first reviewed hey speaking of guys Sonic the hedgehog guys got those those gotta be

Yeah, that's the blue fucker. I'm talking about the sonic guys from the commercial the sonic commercial saw we love the sonic guys Um we should bring them back. We've said I love those guys fucking families now who cares about families out of here Well, they're making this Single guys to eat I don't want to hear about this fucking now that's rigged like a family like like like it's a family of four or whatever It's like this quirky family. That's like I like to dip my onion I hope we first reviewed as episode three of the podcast back in 2015 with Alison Augusti, most recently reviewed with Sean Distin. Rise of the Sith, is that what it is?

Revenge of the Sith. Revenge of the Sith, yeah. We most recently reviewed it with Sean Distin, our friend talking about the minions menu, and IHOP has become the place that has all of these movie tie-in menus, as we talked about when we had Matt Singer on the Patreon. IHOP has kind of like taken the baton from Denny's and now they're the ones who do all these things,

including the Sonic the Hedgehog menu, which they launched on April 1st. Now, the bummer about this menu is it is very much just reskinned existing menu items. And also, why are we seeing this little blue fucker right now? It's not, there's no Sonic movie. The knuckles show is coming out a little later. It's odd timing. It's a particular release It feels like it's just like a general like awareness of Sonic the Hedgehog There is a tie-in with the most recent Sonic game Which I can't remember the title of okay where you can get a Amy Rose like costume like an IHOP costume from using your pan Coins which you get from using the app to pay for your,

it's like complicated, but- Can we have gotten that skin? We could, we probably could still get it because I just need to scan the QR code on the receipt and put it into my app. Shit, we need to get it. Yeah, but let's, Brian, I wanna talk about-

Does she like, is it like a pretty sexy outfit? It's like a IHOP sort of like apron. Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's pretty sexy, yeah. Okay, all right, cool. Brian, you- It's tasteful, it's tasteful. You know, kids play the game, but you know, still pretty sexy.

I mean- Look, it's only dudes, we can talk about it. Yeah, yeah, is it sexy or not? It's pretty sexy. Over text, I was shipping Amy with Shadow. That's right. And you were getting mad at me. I said it was disrespectful to Sonic.

Yeah, well then I shipped you in Sonic. I shipped you in Sonic and that fixed everything. I'm looking at the subreddit. I could probably do Sonic guys I'm seeing. They have to put a specific rule, do not post sexually explicit content. I could probably find some stuff there. You hook up with Sonic and even Sonic is like,

wow, you nutted pretty quick. Even Sonic says that about you? Sonic Superstars is the game. I'll try to find a pic of the Amy Rose outfit. Yes. Send to Papa. OK, here it is. Yeah, I think this is very much a child. So now I-

It's like a chibi Amy Rose. Yeah, it's not fun. Yeah, it's not as fun. It's not as fun as I hoped it would be. Brian, I've noticed Sonic's, well, an enemy in a way is Bowser sitting there behind you. Yeah, this is because you you two have become you Speaking of guys that you like end up becoming as you research them. You become something of a Lego guy

Yeah, the one-year anniversary episode was Lego guys And I just like Chris and Mike Hale from YKS make fun of me for two and a half hours So yeah, I weirdly got really into Legos and got to the I have I mean like I was it after recording that was after doing the Lego guys it was before that's why my god because people were up my ass about doing a Lego guys episode right because I have Legos all behind me this is not even a this is so little amount of my Legos I have like a city in the closet. I got the Titanic behind me. I just build a train like I have so much is the question mark box from Mario.

Also a Lego box is is that yeah. And if you open it up, it has three stages three of the shit boards from the game. So you like flip it open and these three platforms come out. And it's like an ice world, the regular world. And I don't remember what the third way it's been a long time since I opened that one up. Probably lava world. Yeah, but but also is that it's all Legos. It's all. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's cool. That that's the one I think got me hooked in the end. Like I bought that one because the price is not

like the way it works with Legos is you get into it and you're like, I spend more than 150 bucks on these things. And then you hit the point like I did after Christmas where I went to the fucking Lego store and I bought the Titanic and it was $750. Oh my God. It's like a weird thing that is in my brain.

I want to say before people think, you know, Oh my god. It's like a weird thing that is in my brain. Oh my god. I want to say before people think, you know, I did have Lego points, so I got $100 off. And then, so it was 650, which is still way too much money. But I am tempted every day with it. Like I weirdly, I talk about this on the episode, but like

when I start to run out of Legos on the set I'm building, I start to be like, I got to get more Legos. Like I'm going to have to go to the store and find some more Legos to the point now where I'm caught up. There's no new Legos to buy because I only do 18 and up. That's if you if you if you have enough Lego points, you can buy the sexiest Titanic skin That's a little made costume trust me that boat wouldn't sink

I'm saying that the boats got tits There is a subreddit called naked Legos that I look at oh, yes, yeah, oh yeah talked about Talk about that yeah Wrapping my mind around it at first because I was like, wait, I thought it was the Lego men that were just nude, but no, it's like, it's gotta be mostly dudes, right? I haven't looked at it, but it's like-

It's actually mostly women. Oh, it's mostly women, and they're naked next to Lego sets, or- Some guys trying to show off their hogs, but there are a lot of, there are a lot of women on there. Interesting. I don't know if you guys can see this, but I have a naked old Lego man. Is that a little boner?

Oh my, he's got a boner. He's got a little boner on him, yeah. He's got a hog on him, that guy. He does really well. He does well for himself. Yeah, for his proportions. He's a hanger. Yeah, he'd be like two feet, maybe.

Wow. Yeah, he's a little bit of a bummer. He's a little bit of a bummer. He's a little bit of a bummer. He's a little bit of a bummer. He's a little bit of a bummer. He's a little bit of a bummer. He's a little bit of a bummer. He's a little bit of a his proportions. He's fucking a hanger. Yeah, he'd be like two feet, maybe. Wow.

Yeah, the naked old man Lego is my best purchase of all. Of all the purchases. Was that just like, is that someone who made a custom Lego? It has to be, right? Yeah. Yeah, I got it on Etsy. If you're ever looking for a naked Lego man for your set,

you can just get it on Etsy. They have plenty of them. I hop. So I went to get the Sonic menu twice. I went first on my own. I wanted to try it out, and I didn't know if we were going to review it yet. So I did a solo outing.

I got the Sonic Blue Blur pancakes, Sonic style, which is the double the blueberries and double the speed, which is it's the double the blueberries and double the speed and which is a double blueberry pancakes with a blueberry topping. And then yeah, you can add gold onion rings to any item to make it Sonic style. So I did that and actually had a nice time yesterday, Mitch.

We did a little outing with you, me, Susser and our buddy and knees. And we just ordered the whole menu to share. The only thing we didn't get is the, the tails two by two by two. And the reason we didn't get that is cause the tails two by two by two is just, it's just two by two by two.

Yeah. I think I said too many twos. It's just two eggs, two pancakes and two bacon strips or sausage links. So it's like, there's, there's nothing unique about this item. There's nothing unique. And we just had ordered so much food.

There's like, we don't need to try IHOP, you know, fucking pancakes, regular pancakes, eggs and bacon to tell you how it is. Oh, I do feel like it is a part that's missing. I feel bad. I felt, I feel like I gotta apologize to Tails in a way. I feel bad. Tails will be all right.

I mean, he'll be all right. He's a nice guy. He's so nice. Shout out to Anise for joining us. He was excited to go. And I guess shout out to Sus or two, who I think made it clear he was coming no matter what. Not that he was supposed to be invited, but he just asked what time we were going and showed up.

And then also today, we just did College Town yesterday. And they were like, hey, there's a payment coming through. Where should I send the payment? And Sus. Our friend Seth Morris and Aaron Whitehead, hey, there's a payment coming through. Where should I send the payment? Our friend Seth Morris and Aaron Whitehead, our friends, they're very funny podcasts, which is on CBB World. We guessed it on it. And they, yeah, go on, finish. Amelia was like, they want to pay you for your time. And then, and then, it's like, where should I send the payment? And Susser put up his Venmo. Yeah. So he joined with us yesterday for IHOP,

then wants to get paid. He wants the payment from us for the show we did, which we probably won't even take. That he also did not participate in. Yeah. No involvement in. Yeah. Okay, so any-

He's a piece of shit is what I'm trying to say. He's a piece of shit, but we love him. I also want to point out that Amy's Sweet Strawberry Delight, and they have the special, you know, costume that you can unlock, the skin you can unlock in game from the PanCoins, that has been taken out of the online menu. You can still get it in store, and it's still on the little insert, the menu insert and the thing, but like online,

for whatever reason, it's not there. It's with the Amy version? That was the Amy one, the Amy, which is vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup and fresh strawberries on top of golden brown waffle quarter. Just let me tell you, pretty good one. That one was hitting. I like that one. And then the Shadow's Chaos Chocolate Pancakes,

which is a four stack of chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chocolate chip pancakes with chocolate sauce. It was like super sweet, but I was like, these two are just pure dessert, and I thought they were both hitting. I mean, my favorite probably would have been the tails, two by two by two, because I just would've, two bacon eggies and hash browns and pancakes is great.

Just simple. Yeah, but I think I agree with that. I think I was the shadow chocolate pancakes and Amy's dessert, it was kind of a dessert, right? They were both basically desserts. I mean, if you wanna say chocolate, chocolate chip pancakes is a breakfast, like fine. I guess it's not any worse than a donut,

but it's a lot of sugar for breakfast. We didn't put any syrup on the Amy's thing, but we put some syrup on the shadow pancakes, and it didn't really work for me. It was already so sweet. It's already so sweet, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and the Sonic's Blue Blur special, they advise, they're like, try it with blueberry syrup,

at least on the menu, which I did when I went solo and like that was working, but then, I think it was maybe a different blueberry syrup because it didn't come in the jug. Like it didn't, it came in like individual little cups. And so I think it was maybe a different formulation because it didn't taste as good. It tastes a little sciencey.

I didn't love the Sonic Bloober. I mean, they were OK. They were OK. They were very in the middle for me. I liked them more the first time I got them. They were maybe the bottom of what I got yesterday, honestly. But in my, because so my wife and daughter came with me in solidarity.

I mean, my wife loves the show. But they also were like, we'll go with you. You know, you know, you don't have to go eat at IHOP by yourself. That's awesome. Shout out to your wife. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, she got the craziest thing that I got. We come to order the food. I ordered the chicken sandwich. Yeah. The blue blur pancakes. And then I got the chocolate pancakes and the other dessert. I didn't get any of the egg stuff because I don't eat eggs. Yeah, but and my wife doesn't eat meat so she

couldn't get the eggs Benedict. My daughter will never eat anything that you know, she's she's setting her ways, I guess right. And I got I thought that the blue blur pancakes were maybe my least favorite thing. Although the sandwich was like, it felt like just a handful of food. I guess maybe I got a bad sandwich, but it was just falling apart.

Like immediately the second I picked it up, the chicken breast and the bacon fell off the fucking thing right away. It's unwieldy for sure. I think it's a flawed design. So the sandwich is the Knuckles Chicken Sandwich, a crispy chicken sandwich with bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheese, and buttermilk ranch. Maybe he has a better grip on that because of his hands.

He does, he does have those famously strong mitts. I got rid of the bacon, because I don't eat pork anymore, but even still, yeah, I was slip sliding all over the place. I don't feel like I got one good bite all the way through. By the end of it, I was just taking the chicken out because that was the best part and just like eating that on its own. But it's also it's like it's like a sub role and they don't cut it in half. At least they didn't in ours. It was just like one big long sub role. And it's yeah, it's really hard to handle.

It feels like a handful of it. Like it just feels like you have to make a ball out of it and eat it like that. And it's a whole chicken breast on a small, the bun is maybe too small for a whole chicken breast in my opinion too. Like it was just, but I mean, the sad part about that is that sandwich is probably the most perfect thing for me.

I love ranch. Yeah, sure. I love chicken and bacon and avocados. Like perfect. I did mean to say my wife did order avocado toast. I have avocado toast. I love it. It was very strange looking.

She, even she was like, this is very strange looking avocado. She even she was like, this is very strange looking avocado Imagine you're imagine you're Robert Kraft and you go to a Rub-and-tug place sure and fucking knuckles walks out. Oh boy. He's gonna jack you off Well, it's it's probably like kind of like poetic justice. You're frequenting these kind of establishment. Yeah, he's a scumbag And now you got knuckles good luck to you, buddy I mean my knuckles might do a good job, too. I don't know. He might do a good job. He might do a good job. Quick.

I'd rather Sonic just get it out of the way. Sonic will be very fast, which you do wonder, will the speed of it also might hurt? Yeah, probably a lot of friction. I guess we should just look. I think we should just cut through this here. Which Sonic character the best to jack you off? I mean, I mean, if I'm being honest, Rouge the Bat. Yeah, Rouge the Bat. Why why Rouge the Bat has wings? Well, that's not her only appendages. She's got hands. She got it. She does have. Hold on, I'll show you Rouge the Bat and you'll understand why I picked her. Okay, let me see Ruge the Bat here.

Don't, if you show me I'll start jerking off immediately. He's going into his photos album on his iPad. Let me look at my lock screen real quick, there you go. Okay, yeah, you know what? I think Ruge the Bat's the winner of this competition. All right, yeah, okay. Is she very fast too? Not particularly fast, it's not really your skill set. I mean they're all kind of fast, but Sonic's the fast one.

The worst possible thing you could have done to me because every one of my listeners pretends I'm a swinger. They accuse me of being a swinger because I'm constantly on the swinger subreddit. It's in the lifestyle, that's what people say, right? Yeah, yeah, in the lifestyle, and if you see an upside down pineapple, that's a swinger, that's letting you know. Imagine she was tailed to jack you off and then you look and you're floating, he's tugged you into the air, you know what I'm saying? That'd be an experience.

That's what I'm saying! I think the- You could not want to be, you're done with this bit. No, I like the bit. I think it's a good bit. I think it's fun. Tail-jacking you off, he floats you into the air. That's funny.

Now you're the fucking whale. Like, whoa. There we go. Now we're talking. See you later, everybody. I love my daughter. So we did get the Dr. Eggman's Benedict. I did not get the, I did not taste this because this had ham.

You and Susser split this one. Yes, Susser thought. Anise didn't have any either. Anise did not have any of the Dr. Eggman's Egg Benedict. Yeah, which is Black Forest Ham poached eggs in creamy Hollandaise sauce. Here's the deal. Eggman's Egg Benedict, you know who it is? Yeah, which is black forest ham, poached eggs, and creamy hollandaise sauce. Here's the deal. Very simple.

Poached eggs, they were overcooked, sadly. But I thought it was still tasty, despite when you cut into it, the yolk was hard. Yeah. I thought it was still pretty good despite that. I think that that kind of ruins the Eggs Benedict. You want the yolk to come out. Yeah, I mean, look, like this is a high volume location.

It's not an easy thing to do. I don't know if they have enough people in there. No, no, Mitch, I know you're saying the same thing. What I'm saying is, there are a lot of customers, I know that they had a bunch of hiring signs, they're probably understaffed. If you're a breakfast-focused place, I feel like you should be able to execute an Eggs Benedict.

Like, I think it's reasonable to expect that to turn out okay. I like that Susser thought the ham had turned. Yeah. Speaking of things turning, he thought the ham had turned and gone bad. What's going on out there? I thought the ham was fine. I thought it tasted pretty good

despite the egg being a little overcooked, but it was very much just eggs Benedict. There was nothing fun to it. And I actually liked my Knuckles chicken sandwich, but I agree with you that one, it's unwieldy. Two, eating it, I liked it because it was like a fried chicken tender and all this other stuff. But extremely plain.

I was like, it's really plain. So much tomato and lettuce in that, and so many of those bites, but it was missing flavor. And you were talking earlier about a seasoned burger, and it felt like the chicken breast was not seasoned at all despite being breaded. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I thought it was, I don't think it was breaded at the place I went. I think it was a grilled chicken breast. Oh, wow. Ours were for sure breaded. Yeah, ours was crispy. Cause I thought it was weird that I just didn't think IHOP would default to grilled chicken. Right? I guess I thought

they did. But it was definitely grilled chicken. The one that I had, because it was falling out. I saw it. I saw it very quickly when it got there. I was actually really surprised because I would have thought it would have been a crispy chicken. And it seems like they actually really surprised because I would have thought it would have been a crispy chicken. And it seems like they really don't give a shit about this promotion. It is just, oh, yeah, no, they really don't. It's strange, though, because on my way out, there were like 10, 20 year olds with Sonic shirts on walking in there.

Like I was really like, this didn't just come out, did it? Like it's been around. If you're really a Sonic fan You're all you're only showing up on April 8th. That's seven days Yeah, yeah the debut if you're a real fan you gotta be there on day one at midnight Right for sure of 20 year olds and Sonic shirts sound like they might be doughboys But that yeah That's wild, especially for someone

who's so, that are so Sonic crazy, and to wear the Sonic shirts, which Anise was wearing a Sonic shirt, wasn't he? Yeah, he had a cool Sonic shirt, yeah. He had a cool Sonic shirt on. I think it was an Amy Rose shirt, I'm trying to remember. I think it was an Amy Rose shirt. Which one is Amy Rose?

We were just talking about Amy Rose. Well, that's not the bat. The sweet strawberry of the light, yeah, yeah. Which was one of the highlights. And I thought that, again, the chocolate pancakes were one of the highlights as well. I will say that what Brian was talking about, the 20-year-olds in Sonic shirts,

when I went on my own, like day three of this promotion. You were dressed up like Sonic? No. That's my day-to-day wear. No, I just walked in dressed as a civilian, and I go in there, the IHOP is empty, it's the one near my place, and there's one server working there,

and she basically immediately is like Sonic menu, like clock me as a guy who's there for Sonic menu. I do want to say, I think my favorite, I don't know if he actually is a Sonic character, but I've always liked Chronic the Hemp Hog. Chronic the Hemp Hog, yeah, he's not canonical, but I do respect him. I like what he stands for.

They need to put him in. They need to put him in a game. Why not put him in a game, man? He's been around since I was in sixth grade. What I thought was like the funniest t-shirt when I was like 12 or 13, just like the funniest idea possible, when I was like 12 or 13 just like the funniest idea possible chronic the hemp hog I think I have the biggest

weak spot for that I bought a t-shirt that was Deadpool smoking weed like I googled I googled Deadpool smoking weed and there was a shirt so I bought it and it's Deadpool Sitting on a Nike sign and under it. It says just smoke it Good I wore it too much and now it's gone and I miss it very much. I might even just order a new one actually Chronicles I wonder what had chronic the Hemphog is what I wonder what his meal would be probably something I think it's probably this is a lot of this would the heat out the munchies Chronic, I wonder what chronic the Hemp Hog is. What I wonder what his meal would be probably something. I think it's probably this is a lot of this would he'd have the munchies. He'd have the chocolate or stone or food. Yeah. So he'd have some crazy concoction.

Yeah. Wags for you. She could tell you're either there for the Sonic menu or you were trying to come in and get a kids free meal dressing like a child. I think it was one of the two with a spinny cap on. I did my my the, the, the, the waitress that was waiting on us was very, I think got weirded out as the dinner went on because I, I ordered the chicken sandwich and the blueberry pancakes for myself and then my wife and daughter ordered just one thing for them.

And she came back with the check and she was like, you guys ready to, you know, get out of here? And I was like, uh, I was like, uh, no, we'll take the chocolate pancakes, the Sonic chocolate pancakes and the, the dessert, the ice cream on a, I can't remember the name of it, but like my, I haven't eaten candy since 2023. I'm off candy. I've decided not to eat candy in 2024 because I was like eating a lot of candy. Right. Good for you.

Like a lot of like six king size caramelos a day. Wow. That's that's that's the thing you need to address. So holy shit. Yeah. It had gotten so crazy that I just didn't like I was just like I can't eat candy in 2024 I need to I need to balance this out But those fucking chocolate pancakes were so good to me because I haven't had chocolate right so long I loved them and so did my wife I think one thing they could have done to them that I that I don't think they did put like chocolate syrup on them yeah yeah they didn't put their you they're really good dry I'm

not gonna put maple syrup on the maple didn't work it didn't work with it yeah they need to have they had they need to have a more of a syrup on there there was some sort of sauce on ours unless they're misremembering I'm trying to look at was the chocolate sauce but it was like very lightly yeah it was just kind of just kind of like you know yeahzzled on there. Yeah, it was just kind of like, you know, not even Peter North thawed onto it. It's just sort of like. We would have welcomed a Peter North.

Yeah, it's kind of doughboised over it. Just like a little light glaze. Why not ice cream on that one too? That one would be, because it's got the whipped topping, but ice cream might as well go all the way. I think that would actually plus it up a bit. Imagining ice cream between each layer. Yeah, that's what I was kind of thinking. I was like, what if they just fucking gave me three pancakes and put a scoop of ice cream in between each one and then put chocolate syrup on it. But then I'm asking for a totally different thing that they don't do. But I think that would have definitely improved that because I personally

can't imagine somebody going in there for dinner or breakfast and saying, give me a pile of chocolate pancakes with chocolate chips in it and you know whatever else they put. If they did put sauce on it and I forgot, I just remember them being kind of dry. They were kind of dry and they could have used they could have used more sauce. You know what? And also we could have used some butter on there. You know, for me, it reminded me of a bit of, I love a blueberry muffin, but when I was a kid,

I liked a chocolate chip muffin from Dunkin' Donuts. Yeah. And I'd microwave that up with some butter on it. Oh my God. I love a muffin with butter. And it kind of gave that feel, these pancakes kind of gave the vibe of a chocolate chip muffin a little bit.

They were tasty. But yeah, it needed still, I think, one of my favorite things that we had. I thought those were great. I thought the Shadow's Chaos Chocolate pancakes were really hitting. Speaking of sweet, go on. I was just going to say, I made fun of you for dressing

like a child, and that's why they assumed that you would want that. But look, any three of us walking in there, they know we're coming for the Sonic. Yeah, they know what our agenda is. There's a certain type that's why they assume that you don't have that. But look, any three of us walking in there, they know we're coming for the Sonic menu. Yeah, they know what our agenda is. There's a certain type that's coming in there for the Sonic menu, and we're going in there for the Sonic menu.

And I just think every other promotion that they've done has just been so much more fun. And it's been more specific. Yes. Like, but that's all that said, I did overall enjoy the meal. Me too. Walking away from it, I mean, that Glendale IHOP.

That one's hitting. That's a great IHOP. It's a great IHOP. Shout out to, I believe, Beatriz was the name on the receipt, who was our server. She was great. Oh, yeah. She was great.

And I think I had her last time when I went for the Minions menu when Bugmane showed up. Bugmane always comes to IHOP, as we know. Yeah. But, uh. Skittle Skattle. But the Minions menu, I liked, uh, more the one that we did with Distin.

Yeah. Twisted, twisted. I agree with you. Is that mostly banana stuff? Yeah. Yeah. That was, it was, it was a lot of banana stuff, but it was, it was stuff that wasn't normally on the menu and it was a lot of fun. And speaking of things that aren't normally on the menu, we had a really bad experience or no one liked it, but we ordered Pepsi maple. Yes. I looked at that and did not even get tempted. And I'm a Pepsi guy. I'm a Pepsi over Coke guy,

which gets me yelled at by a lot of people. I don't like Coke. I love a Pepsi. That is a guy too, by the way. That's a Pepsi guy. Well, I'm young. It's the choice of a new generation. So some people aren't as hip as I am to this kind of thing. This is, I'm looking back at the Minions menu real quick. So yeah, there were the Baba banana pudding pancakes

and the Baba banana milkshake. So there were some banana stuff, but I think the ones we really like were the Cinnaminions. I could be completely misremembering it. Oh, they were fucking great. Those are good, which are just cinnamon donut holes. And then Gru's Evil Steak Burger, I think was way better than we expected. Oh, yeah, it was really, really good. It was a really spicy burger.

Were the banana pancakes bad? Were those the ones that were bad? Or was it the milkshake? I don't know if anything we disliked. Yeah, I think we liked it all. But I'm sure if we looked at the Wiki, we could see what our actual thoughts were. Yeah, I think they just could have gone farther with the Sonic menu, but yes, the Pepsi maple syrup cola, which they had, I guess, a canned version of in 2022, and they're bringing back as an IHOP promotion in 2024. I thought the...

Gnarly. I will say that we got one. We got one of the maple syrup cola and one of the maple syrup cola float, which has a scoop of ice cream for the table. We passed around the Pepsi maple syrup cola. We each took a sip through our own straw. We were trying to stay poker faced to not reveal our thoughts to each other.

And then Anise took a sip, and I will try to capture his volume here, but he was like, whoa, that's too much maple! That's the loudest I've ever heard a human being. Just exclaim. We were eating in there with like other, it was like other, it was like 90 year old, it was like three tables of 90 year old people.

Yeah, like a table of tourists. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was very, the whole restaurant knew that. Yeah. He didn't like it. And you know what? He was right. He was right.

It was way too much maple. Yeah. I don't know if you guys have this on your menu, but I was like kind of, they have these splashers there. Yeah, the splashers are good. We were talking about the splashers. Yeah. Well, they have a blue one.

Why isn't that on the fucking sun? That should be on the sun. All right. Absolutely. I couldn't believe it. I was like, man, they really don't care about this menu. They even have blue stuff that they're not putting on. Sonic Punch. Come on. There you go.

Very good. That's what makes it Sonic Lemonade. There's there. There's a lot that they could have done. And they could have made an original menu item for some of these things, but whatever. The float was better. When they get those, your point.

Float was better balanced. We got the float as well, and the float I did, I almost liked, because when it was mixed with the vanilla, it was pretty good, and these did not have a strong of a reaction to it. Yeah, no. But the float, I would say, I don't know if I would call it a drank.

Maybe a very- I didn't like either of them, but it was better. Probably maybe, yeah, maybe still a stank, but very close to a soft drink. What I liked about it, sorry to cut you off, is that it had vanilla ice cream when I thought about it. And so I could taste the maple less. And by the way, remember there was a pancake of the week

that looked fucking good as hell. I want to go back to that Glendale IHOP. No, I would absolutely go back to that IHOP. I had a good meal overall, even if I was disappointed by this menu. This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. Mitch, we've all got things that we really need to get off our chest.

Brian, so you know the pod, should get to our final thoughts. Brian, so you know the pod, but just to refresh your how this works, we'll each go around.

We'll give a closing argument on the IHOP Sonic menu and end by giving it a fork score from zero to five forks. Brian, you're a guest. We'll begin with you. So I think like I will say that I think my wife liked it a lot more than I did, because I did feel like the the middle of the blueberry pancakes was like way too much. It like it felt like almost soggy with blueberry or just too much.

And then the chicken sandwich didn't do well. Now, I'm bad at review numbers, so I'm going to say two forks because I didn't. Wow. I didn't hate anything. I just didn't like anything. Nothing really blew me away. Yeah, I didn't like everything I ate. I was like, you know, when the sandwich it's like, oh, this would be good if it didn't

fall apart, you know, or the pancake, any of the pancakes. This would be good if it didn't fall apart, you know, or the pancake any of the pancakes This would be good if they didn't do this, you know what I mean? So yeah, right This is the water guy numbers by the way. This is this this is that's the you're going water guy numbers here Yeah, do they bring you at like you asked for a room temp water and they brought you a cup with ice Is that what's really going on? They're playing loud rock and roll Is that what's really going on? They're playing loud rock and roll music in there. And it bummed me out.

But again, I'm also terrible at rating scales. I have a new metal podcast where I screwed the scale up within three episodes by giving something an infinity. So I just don't know how to regulate it, you know? I guessed it on your New Metal podcast in a deep pandemic, and it was super fun to do, but it's like, it did get me like back at, like I wouldn't say back in a New Metal,

because I was always like a New Metal skeptic. It like got me kind of like inducted into new metal. I found myself like listening to, you know, what's the what's the big album that you use is kind of like an introduction to new metal? Death tones, white, death tones, white pony. I was I was listening to death tones, white pony, like on a loop going on long walks. It was like that album rips. A lot of this shit sounds like when like YouTube hires people

to get rid of conspiracy theory videos And then they get into conspiracy theories Sounds like a lot of this shit is going on with you guys. I just want to warn you I'm not even a Chris Farley fan How do you dislike Chris Farley? I don't dislike him. I just wouldn't buy a Chris Farley t-shirt or anything. Not that level of fandom. I had a Chris, I had the, from Tommy Boy,

what's the Callahan t-shirt? Oh wow. Oh, that's good. It got fucked up in the dryer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Got fucked up in the dryer. Is it my turn to review? Wait, what were we talking about?

We were talking about new, well, Brian was talking about how he fucks up review scores. I don't think that, I think you'd actually did a good job here because if you're saying there's nothing you liked, I don't see how you go above two forks. I will say this,

for like the branding of the Sonic branding and what it is with the menu, I would say it's like, I'd probably say handholding at two forks for that. Yeah. Though I do like the idea of like 80 and 90 year olds and 100 year olds eating Sonic menu items or even knowing what Sonic is.

Isn't this a 100 year old person who knows what Sonic is? I need my pan coins so I can unlock that sexy Amy outfit. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I like that. I like that a lot. But I didn't love the Sonic branding, but I enjoyed IHOP quite a bit. We had a great time.

Had a great time. And also, the thing we talk about, and Brian, kind of what you touched on of like every fast food chain just kind of falling apart. And like, do you remember there was a time when you could go to IHOP and they, IHOPs and they'd be 24 hours or Denny's. And I know that there's still some that are 24 hours.

Some still are, but not all of them. Not all of them. So many of them, you like, that to me just is like, oh man, that was a great time when you could go to an IHOP or Denny's and they'd be open 24 hours and you could get this sort of meal whenever you want. Still kind of exists. But-

I feel for you guys not having the Waffle House because they will never close. I love Waffle House so much. I know. I've said that, I'm gonna contradict myself because I was gonna say I wish there was one out here but that would be disagreeing with past me which is like I'm glad they aren't out here

because these regional chains that try to go national they lose the magic, right? And the quality dips. So like yeah, keep Waffle House where it is. I just wish I was near one. Watching in and out do that right now. We're gonna be watching that happen. They're fucking up.

Overall for IHOP, Watching in and out do that right now yeah be watching that happen fucking up overall for i hop. I think i go for forks. Yeah i mean i like i and look what we're rating i hop here right. Yeah i think you however you want to rate it i'll say i didn't order anything off of the sonic menu so that might be why my is a little lower because none of that stuff on there was like, if I went in there just to get pancakes, I'd probably just buy the regular pancakes and get some bacon and eat that. I probably would have given it a way higher score. I think it was the Sonic stuff that made me give it a lower score. Totally fair. If you combine the two, my two scores, it's a three. You know what I mean? It's three forker. but I don't know where it'll land specifically on this, what do you think? Go with your heart.

For IHOP, it's four forks. Yeah. But for Sonic, the Sonic theming, it's two forks. Why don't you just give it two scores? It's two different scores. It's fitting for Tails. Tails has two Tails. That's right. Mitch has two scores.

I got two scores. I will go, and you know what, I will be honestly, in the handholding club with you and Brian on my Sonic menu score, because I think it is a two fork execution. I think that I like the Sonic Blueberry special more than either of you. I just, I, maybe I just like blueberry pancakes more

or maybe I'm just more forgiving for this execution. But the chicken sandwiches is whatever. Eggman's Benedict I didn't have, but also it's just regular fucking Eggs Benedict. There's nothing special there. The two highlights were the two desserts, but overall it's just regular fucking eggs Benedict. There's nothing special there. The two highlights were the two desserts, but overall it just feels so half-assed. And I just wanted more from this promotion

because they've done good ones in the past. So it's two forks that I hop Sonic Menu. But yeah, I hop overall. I mean, it has so much charm, so much character. I like that they bring you, even though I didn't get coffee at this particular meal, that they bring you the carafe of coffee that you sit on your table and you can do your own refills and it stays hot.

Like that goes a long way. That's like a full fork for me, just like that alone. That's great. And I think in terms of what they do, International House of Pancakes, which is what the acronym stands for, they execute that well. I think they do good pancakes

and they think they do good breakfast. And so for me, it's a golden plate club chain. I think it's a four fork chain. So I'll go two four as well, Mitch. I love it. All right, that was our review of the IHOP Sonic menu. It's time for a segment. I've got some food related jingles

and Mitch and Brian must determine which year they came out. It's another edition of Jingle All the Way spelled W-H-E-Y. Wow. The rules of Jingle All the Way. The closest guess without going over wins a point. Rule number two, if you guess the year exactly, you get two points. That's the Arden Marine rule. And rule number three, if the game ends in a tie, the guest wins.

That's the Mitch Kenna rule. These were, as always, compiled by our buddy, the drop king, Robert Persinger. And DK specifically wanted to pass along to you, Brian, that he's a huge fan of the Guys podcast. So- Oh, thank you. I appreciate it. If you don't, if the Weigar endorsement

doesn't do enough for you out there, DK is also a fan of Guys, so check out that show. All right, so we understand the rules. We're gonna play a video and y'all will just guess what year it came out. And we'll take turns going who goes first. I like the pod too. I had a blast on it just a second. So fun. Yeah.

Yeah. What the hell? Yeah. I wasn't trying to exclude you from it. I felt excluded. No, you're not. Mitch, it's also endorsed by the Spoon Man. It was definitely like being out in LA for that time and people telling me they were a fan was like awesome because I'm out in Columbus. Yeah, sure. Nobody knows who I am. Like every now and then a guy rides by on his bike and screams, Murder Brian!

And that's how I know how well I'm doing. I get some people screaming Murder Weiger, but it's not my name. So it's like All right, let's play the first one of these videos I want to top your taco. Can't you see? And who could forget? My tomato. Elsewhere, you'd pay hundreds of dollars for sour cream and tomatoes, but at Taco Bell, they're free when you buy an original 59 cent taco. Taco Bell can't use our standing by so order today.

That's very, I don't remember watching this, but that is- You know what? You're gonna hate this. What were you gonna say? I was gonna say, it's funny that they did Taco Taco Man when we ended up doing Taco Taco Bell as our own parody, thinking it was something original. It was a Taco Bell ad from like however long ago this was. Well, I also thanked Homer because,

at the end of the show, because Homer sings nacho, nacho man. Oh, that's right, yeah. So it's a parody that's really been done. The third version of it and the least good one. Whatever. I thought it was pretty fun. I thought it was fun.

Mitch, you sang the hell out of that song. We even blew the roof off that place. I have seen this. I'll be like Elvis talking about when he saw little Richard in the Basler and Elvis, he sang the Hillel that song. Look, we tried with the live show. We tried.

We tried. We tried. Also Taco Taco Man, shouldn't it be Taco, shouldn't they have done Taco Taco Bell? They should have done Taco Taco Bell. So wait, Murder Brian, we'll give you the option to answer first, right?

Yeah, well, you'll take turns. You'll take turns. So do you want to go first or second? You want to go first or second for this one? I can go first. OK, go first. What year do you think Supreme Favorites came out? And for people who are just listening to the audio,

the jingle was accompanied by kind of like a scrolling list of songs, like it was an ad for an album. So I think I feel like I remember every Taco Bell commercial from a certain period of time. And I've never seen this one, but it can't be from like after 20, 2004, because it's like a reference that wouldn't make sense after that point.

So I am going to go with 2004. Wow. 2004 is the guess. Mitch, what year do you think this came out? I'm thinking earlier than that. Also, I know it's gonna make you mad. You know where I think I saw this? Yeah.

The Reddit. Wow, someone posted this up there. But I don't know the date. Okay. I think that this is 90s And I just don't know when in the 90s it is This is like it could easily be 98 But I could be 96. I'm gonna go 97 right in the middle Mitch You unfortunately overshot it just a bit. You were very close supreme favorites came out in

1995 I overshot it just a bit. You were very close. Supreme favorites came out in 1995. I understand your instinct to go later because these always tend to trail off the pulp culture a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But this one was a little earlier than that. Yeah, so no one gets a point. Cool. I'm way overshot.

No one gets a point. I was so close. Next up, let's play this next ad. That's what happens when you're both over, no one gets a point. Yeah, no one gets a point. We're gonna tie. We're gonna tie at zero.

Oh, I forgot that I'm supposed to say like 1990. That would have been the safer bet, but I like you trying to get right in there. I like you trying to get it exactly. I forgot how to play the game. Oh, you can't, you won't believe how stupid I feel. Don't game theory too much, just try to try to guess I'm gonna I feel incredibly stupid Got a craving for I wanna be the go-starter, here's what you do Just say hey, what you say

We all go down to Taco Bell today And hit the taco, taco, taco, taco, taco bell Taco, taco, taco, taco, taco bell So this is a regional ad. This was for a Texas area taco bell. Bionicdisco.com Bionicdisco.com, archive that. Shout out to them for giving us footage alive.

Definitely some tells there. Feels like it was pulled from a VHS, you know, in terms of timestamping it. Looked like the old school. It's a cool tell. The old school Taco Bell architecture. And then, you know, the. There are hints.

They're featuring items like the Enchirito, which was off of the menu for a while, and it was served in like a foil tin, which is not something they do these days. Why are you giving us all these hints? Aren't you the Quizmaster? I'm talking through it for people who are just listening to the audio

in terms of where it might be, but I don't want to steer you. You're gonna make your own decision. Mitch, you're going first for this one. What year did this one come out? Did you ever want to play the game? Maybe I could be Quizmaster sometime. We could do that.

You don't want to, Mitch. You do not want to do that. I do that sometimes. You lose track and it's just, it's too much stress. Oh yeah. You know what? You're right. I don't want to do it. Sorry, Wags. You don't get to play. I think these ones are always more tricky to me because I'm like that very well could be early eighties and then it could just weirdly be a 70s video and I don't really know what it is. Part of me wants to just say, what should I go earlier? I'm going to say 1980 on the dot. Mitch goes 1980.

Brian, what year do you think this came out? Because I just don't know. I don't know if it's 70s or 80s So there's no way this is in the 2000s. I do know that I'm gonna go with Because it's I'm gonna say 1975 and hope that it's That's how you game it That's the game theory wise Brian's gonna get a point here because this came out head for Taka Taka Taka Taco Bell is the name of the spot came out in 1978.

So technically I was closer. Technically you were closer, but you went over. Brian has one. Mitch has zero. This sucks. We have to change this rule. Well, hey, look, if a guest wants to come up with a new rule, we can do it. But the only way new rules are added is via guess. The hard marine. But Brian, you have to you should change the game. I mean, after your point that you just

got, you should change the rule that whoever is closer gets a point. It's the only way it makes sense. Only one guy can make new rules and that's Bill Maher and he's not here. That's fair. That's absolutely fair. Let's play this next one. You know what to say. That's fair. That's absolutely fair. Let's play this next one. You know what that means? We gotta get Bilmar on the pod. We'll have.

We'll get on Club Random and then he'll do our show. We'll do a home and home. All right, next up. Okay, let me talk about Israel and Palestine, okay? You're a fucking dumbass. You and Dennis Miller? He's the dumbest motherfucker. I'm more Dennis Miller.

That's all right. When his special Hello, I'm JMC with a story to tell I just got a free cup from Taco Bell NMTV makes the whole thing fun Buy a giant sized Pepsi and you'll get one Four cups in all, so don't stand still And if you have an empty cup you get a free refill

Go to Taco Bell and you see it's true They got these four cups there just for you Taco Bell only has them for a limited time That's why I'm coming to you with a limited rhyme. To get these cups you gotta place your order, so take my advice, you better run for the border. Fucking great rap. Is that actually Young MC? I was gonna say, it's just, if you can think of the year Bust a Move came out, you might win this one. And just say the year after it.

The thing that, so the cups they have in there, they're advertising these collectible cups. They're plastic, unfortunately, it would be cool if they were glass, but they're MTV cups, which is amazing that Taco Bell had an MTV tie-in at a certain point. Could you try to find these on eBay right now? Yeah, I'll try to find them. But while I'm doing that, what year do you think the Young MC spot came out? Brian, you'll go first. I'm going with, this one's tough,

but I think I'm just gonna say 1989. 1989. Oh, that's a great guess. You really fucked me there. Cause I think it's, no, I think I know, well, I don't know, but I think 1989 is a safe bet. And you know, it's fucked up is what I'm going to do to you, which is this is this is the game theory.

This is where game theory kicks it bites you in the ass. But I think actually we might. The crazy thing is, are we both over is bust to move 88 or something? I think it's an 89 or 90. Right. I'm going to say 1990, Brian, which fucks you over. Yeah. Because now you have to be on the dot to get it right. So 1990 is my guess.

Yeah, one of you is on the dot. Yes. It is Mitch who's gonna get two points. 1990, this spot comes out. These- In my head, immediately I thought 1992. I was always gonna say 1990 to be fair. And in my head, I was gonna say, I was always gonna say 1990 to be fair. And in my head, I was like, I think it's 1992,

but I'm gonna say 1990, because then that would encapsulate 1992, but I wasn't going first anyways. This is a set of two vintage 1990 MTV VMA Taco Bell Video Music Awards promo plastic cups for 14.99. So they're not super expensive. But this other one has a lot of s- Oh, on eBay you're saying? On eBay, yes.

This one has a lot of 75 different plastic cups from Taco Bell, including Lakers, Batman, Simpsons, McDonald's. And this one, I guess they had a McDonald's tie in, and this one is $75. That's a pretty good haul. Should we get that for the studio? I mean.

Ha ha ha. Casey and Emma and Amelia will love the fact This one is $75. That's a pretty good haul. Should we get that for the studio? I mean. Kasey and Emma and Amelia will love the fact that we have 75 cups to put around the studio. That's pretty fucking good. We can change the rules by the way. We can change the rules now. Get it exactly right. It's one point.

All right, next up, Taco Salad Bowl is the name of this next spot. Okay. Let's play it real quick. Sounds woke. New rule, no more taco salad bowls. This is a new taco salad from Taco Bell, the salad in a bowl. You can eat. The freshest things from Taco Bell, served up in a bowl. You can eat! The freshest things from Taco Bell served up in a plate

flour shell That's my bowl! Taco salad, ooh what a treat! I'm gonna eat the bowl, but I'm gonna break it first. Just made for you in a bowl you can't eat! Oops! That was full. Yeah. Try one for yourself. You know where!

Taco Bell It's just made for you. Do you think that lady was like in the equivalent of like a UCB like Harold's team back in the day? It's possible. She's doing long-form improv at like the second city. It's possible. I think it's very possible that she was like a groundling or something.

That's not true. I'm just saying it's- No, not saying anything negative about somebody. That's just like how this industry works. There was a great mustache guy in there who you pointed out. I would say that salad looks fucking good. The way that's photographed, I feel like that was hidden in whatever year this came out. It looks good.

This is another tough one. I'm going first. You're going first, yeah. I think that this is 100% of the city, especially with that, you're judging by that mustache. I think this is an 80s, this feels like an 80s commercial, fuck, but it could be 70s, you never know.

I'm gonna go 1982, the year I was born. Wow. As when this commercial came out, but I am not confident at all. I think it's 80s Do you know a bit is there like a big movie of 1982 that you can pull right away? You can think of I should know it. I'm gonna look it up. I'm curious I know Tootsie was out in the 80s. That sounds like a baby. That's a tootsie

I mean, maybe a 1982 is tootsie. Yeah Right, can I have a point? You know what? Yes, you got that right, can I have a point? You know what? Yes. If you got that right, you get a point. So is this a new rule that if you get a movie? If you guess a movie year, you get a point. New rule. We'll figure out how to, you are correct.

Tootsie, the number two at the box office. Wow. For that year. You get a point, you get a point. Number one, one of Spielberg's most iconic films. Was it Close Encounters? Not Close Encounters, but you're in the right ballpark. ET.

ET, the extraterrestrial. ET is an ET. ET, the top five of the box office. ET, the extraterrestrial. Tootsie, an officer and a gentleman. RIP Lou Gossett Jr. passed away pretty recently. Rocky III, and then Porkies. Oh, I got in trouble.

I got in trouble for recording all the Porky's when I was a kid so I could master making them. That's fucking rules. It's so crazy that a fucking soft core porno comedy was like number five, and the next one is Star Trek 2, Wrath of Khan. And the next one after that is 48 Hours. Next one after that is Poltergeist.

How is Porky's such a huge franchise? 1982 fucking rules, baby. It's an amazing year. No wonder why I came out in 1982. I watched, yeah, I watched Porky's a hundred times. I wonder what it's like to watch it now. I might have to do that. I mean, I've watched a lot of bad movies.

My guess is that it's slightly problematic, I'm sure. Maybe a little bit. There's scenes I can remember that are probably not so great. I watched, you know what's funny is like for a show, for a series I did, I watched all of the reboot. I watched five reboots. So it was like famous movies, like it was point break, but I watched the one from like 2012 and Like those were and and I also watched the movie movies. So I watched like disaster movie

Oh, wow, and all those movies and every one of them were so problematic. It was crazy and I was like this stuff was made in 2013 yeah some of that stuff fucking insane. I don't you know what's crazy about this video Is that see that little kid in this video? Yeah, he's looking at his age now Mitch that's a trip Like a 40 year old man, yeah, he's over I'm saying 46 specifically the number. Oh wow I thought you meant he looking at the man and being like, I'm gonna grow into that. I mean, but also that too.

He's looking, the guy is wearing a football jersey and he's reading 46 off of it and thinking I'm gonna be that age when this is watched on Doughboys. When this is watched on Doughboys. And that guy, I mean, that guy there is probably sadly like 23. But that guy with the mustache is probably so young

it would make us mad. And he's probably like dead now. He's probably or like or like 65 or 70. Mitch's new YouTube channel where he like circles stuff and old commercials like they do the Illumina. This young kid was seeing his fate. I mean, this kid's probably older than 40. He might be 50. I mean depending on where they came out, I think 1982 Murder Brian you already have a point. So this is just icing on the cake for you if you if you if you if you get the if you get another point. Wait did he get a point from Naming Tootsie?

Yeah he does. Okay wow so you already got a point from this round. It's the Murder Brian rule. Alright Mitch. If there's a movie that you don't know, you have to be honest about it. Yeah, I did not Google it. Yeah, you didn't Google it and you're not sure if it came out there. That's the only way you can get a point. Okay, if you can name a movie that came out the same year as your guess, but you're not sure on the honor system.

Yeah, I guess it's your opponent's guess. Oh, Mitch, that's a great addendum. As your opponent's guess, but you're not sure. You're not sure and you didn't Google. Yeah. Then you get a point. Well, I think and you didn't Google is implied. I think we'll just say that.

I'll just put it, but you're not sure you get a point. Yeah. I'm going with the same Mitch thing. I was born in 1979. I'm going to say 1979. Good guess. You might steal it here. Billy Corgan's favorite year. But the this actually came out in 1984.

So Mitch gets a point. So you each get a point here. The gap stays the same. Yeah. Doesn't that feel like earlier than that? But yeah, 1984. It is a bit like a mustache. This commercial is a bit Orwellian. It is a bit Orwellian. It is. Practically talking doublespeak. Next up. So 1984, so that guy, so how old do you think that kid is?

Let's do the math there. That kid is, how old is that commercial? Is 10 years old? Yeah, I mean, like, yeah, he looks like he's maybe between six and eight, which means he's actually probably a 10 to 12 year old kid. So let's just say 10. Exactly 40 years.

So he's 50 years. 50, yeah. The kid's 50 years old. Time is crazy. That's sad. That guy with the mustache and the lady in the video, probably 70? They could be 70?

Yeah, gotta be. 65, 70? Yeah. Oh my God. All right, we got- Time, man, we're saying it. Time is crazy, dude. Pink Floyd said it fast

Let's play this last one This spot is called just a little cash. So this is the last one. I see there's two more. No, this is it, right? Oh, yeah shit. Sorry. I flew off the handle You can search the whole world over and no matter who you ask they say Taco Bell has more choices Oh Johnny Cash You better make a run for the border son, you better make a border dash We're talking under a dollar Nobody beats Taco Bell

Where else you gonna get choices with just a little cash? That's fucking crazy Johnny Cash is small? It's like an opposite Snoke? Yeah, it's like a tiny... It's an anti-Snoke, a reverse Snoke. He's like a borrower-sized Johnny Cash. He's on a shelf next to a miniature TV and a potted cactus.

That's one of those things. Do they bury Johnny Cash and like a tin can. Very limited Taco Bell tostada. I want to watch the movie that's based on this commercial. Teeny little Johnny Cash playing music in my house. I can't find him. This is a very wild commercial. I loved it. Also, it made me so hungry. I want Taco Bell so bad. So I'm getting so fucking hungry. And my favorite Taco Bell, think the Cholito.

Oh, yeah. Which you can still get in Columbus, Ohio. Wow. And a Taco Bell, if you want that. It all looks so fucking good. I really I really. And also the prices is 99 cents and down. Yeah, it just looks like we shouldn't order sweet pin we should get and talk about Brian you're

up first for this one what's your guess 1992 is what I'm going with trying to get up right on there 1992 is the guy we tied up so right now Brian has two points Mitch has three points so this one is deciding it. Wow. 1992, so if you hit, if you nail it on the head, you, you went out right. But if he also ties, he wins too. You also, there's the murder Brian rule, which you can insure yourself a little bit if you want to guess a movie that came out in the year 1992, but you're not sure about it. Fuck, that's so hard. A movie that came out in the year 1992, but you're not sure about it. Fuck, that's so hard.

A movie that came out in 1992. Oh, I got one, I got one. Brian's got one, but Brian, it's your guess, so you can. It's your guess, so yeah, yeah, but I think I do, I'm gonna look and see if I have one. Okay. 1992, why is this such a blind spot? Ooh, I got one, I had one. one if this was me I'd have it.

1990 is good fellas 1994 is drastic park so we're talking two years before or one year before drastic park even. Yeah it was 93 that sounds right. Casey how are you with the like years unfilm? Are you thinking, cause I don't think of those terms. I can't go back to 1974 and think of the big movie of that year. My brain doesn't work that way. It's definitely a movie by movie basis.

There's definitely some that I can be pretty sure I got the year down. 92 is a tough one. I'm thinking about a bunch of 90s movies, but ultimately not sure I got the year down. 92 is a tough one. Yeah. I'm thinking about a bunch of 90s movies, but ultimately not sure. Oh man, I'm gonna guess arachnophobia. I'm so nervous and I think I'm wrong. Can I do my guess too?

Yes. I already know it's right though. Wayne's World. Fuck! You are correct, Wayne's World. Oh my God, and arachnophobia is now like 1989. Wayne's World. Fuck! You are correct, Wayne's World. Oh my God, and Ragnophobia is now like 1989. Wayne's World was a 1992 movie. 1990 is when Arachnophobia, the film, came out,

so you don't get a point there, Mitch, I'm sorry. I immediately. The biggest movie, you're right, that's probably why you had it in the brain, because you just said it. Oh, I think I got it, can I guess one? Yeah, please. Terminator 2, Judgment Day.

It's not the Terminator 2 year. 91, I think, that's. Can I guess one? Yeah, please Terminator 2 judgment day. It's not the Terminator 2 you 91. I think that's 91 Yeah, the big movie came into my head too And I wasn't sure the big movie at Terminator 2 was number one at the box office in 1991 But 1992 it was Disney's Aladdin. Oh That's the Aladdin the bodyguard home alone to basic, Basic Instinct, and Lethal Weapon 3, and Batman Returns. It's so, it's so, Batman Returns, fuck! I knew Batman Returns came out in 1992. That's the one I should have fucking got.

But wait, I can't guess the one I know. If you ask me- If you knew it, you can't guess it. If I knew it, I can't guess it. If you knew it, you can't guess it. So I have to guess. Yeah. That's okay. What, what, what- Can you imagine

the Goodfellas meeting or acting off? Oh yeah, that's pretty fun. Or Wayne's okay. Can you imagine the Goodfellas meeting or acting up? Oh, yeah, that's pretty fun. Or Wayne's world. You know what the Goodfellas famously, Pesci already shot Spider. That's true! You have another Spider he can shoot. He had multiple Spiders to shoot.

You know what he'd say? Spider, we gotta team up and kill the Spiders. And he ends up shooting Spider and they bury him in the basement where they're playing cards. I remember, I remember, why were we saying sorry? We were being unfunny for a couple of seconds. I was saying, Wayne's were like Wayne's world mixed with

Goodfellas would also be an interesting kind of that's that's good. Like when they pull out a gun like Wayne and got like, whoa, that's like a mad TV sketch. That actually would be very funny. I mean, there is an out character. so wouldn't it be a Mad TV sketch? I mean, it is, speaking of time, wait, what are you saying? I was gonna say, like, that's like a Mad, cause Mad TV would do those matchups.

But it's an SNL character. But it's an SNL character, so they probably wouldn't do it. But it would be funny. So only SNL could do it. But it would be funny if Mad TV just did it. And they cast, like, Artie Lang as like, Will Sasso, yeah. Will Sasso, yeah.

Whatever. Will Sasso. Yeah, whatever. Will Sasso on at that point. I don't know. This is hard to figure out. Look, instead of killing Spider, they use Garth and they just make them say, we're not worthy. We're not worthy. And that's his whole punishment.

They move on to the next thing. We're gonna say look what? You've got to guess your year. I thought you were gonna say we didn't get into one. Will Sasso started on MadTV. But I will award Brian a point if he can guess the year Will Sasso came on MadTV. I wasn't a MadTV guy, contrary to what people might think,

because they think I would pick the bad thing. But no, I would say 1996 for that. Holy shit, you are one year off. Oh my god. You started in 1997 season. Which means we would have been tied. Yeah. Which means you win.

But you still gotta guess the year that this ad came out. And I'm gonna do the shitty thing here, Wags. One last thing about time. Yeah. Aladdin and Wayne's World coming out in the same year is such a mindfuck for me because I liked Aladdin as like a child and I also liked Wayne's World. So it's like these two very like it's like I feel like a child when I like

Aladdin, but then Wayne's World is like, oh, I like comedy. It just is a weird thing for me where I'm like, what the fuck was I at that point in time? I don't know. Mitch, I mean, a child clearly That would have been the year for me, I think that would have been the year between middle school, elementary school and middle school. Or maybe it was sixth and seventh grade. Either way, there was like a clear like going from being a child

to being like a no good adolescent, to like no good teenager. And so I felt that like gap, because I remember seeing Aladdin with my mom at the multiplex and like laughing like a kid and then seeing Wayne's World be like yeah Wayne's World Wayne's cool this is how I feel so funny I feel like I maybe saw it on VHS or something maybe that's true but I feel like I saw in the theater I definitely saw that I was nine going on ten yeah so I don't think so so I so I

don't know so that's third grade maybe go maybe fourth grade I don't know was it was either third or fourth grade I saw Wayne's World in the theater and thought it was the funniest movie I've ever seen in my life Like I laughed so hard. I think it's so 12 or something and Then when my daughter was was a 12 or 13 I was like we ought to watch this fucking Wayne's world and we sat down to watch it and I said this is the least funny Thing I've ever and we sat down to watch it and I said, this is the least funny thing I've ever seen. Oh my God.

It does not hold up, it's a bummer. Oh, I love it still. I haven't watched it in years. That and The Naked Gun, that and The Naked Gun were two movies that were just huge. My daughter was like, you like this? Oh man. It's like kind of embarrassing.

I love The Naked Gun. Maybe you're getting self-conscious, your daughter was making you feel self-conscious. Say hamster. Maybe does they, nothing lasts forever. Hey, you know, speaking of which, rest in peace to the actor who played Nordberg in the naked gun movies. OJ's gone.

OJ's gone. No more Nordberg. He was so funny. Rest in peace. Rest in peace, OJ. He was great in those movies. There was a lot. I mean, there's a lot of OJ jokes popping up today.

Which I almost feel weird about. I don't know how to feel about. We're also like time-stamping this because again this episode is coming out later, but yeah All right, let's do this bitch. You got a guess. No. I'm doing the shitty thing 1993 that gives me everything after murder Brian. Sorry murder Brian. You are doing the shitty thing and you know what? I think it's gonna pay off for me and it does pay off For Brian who got it exactly? Oh my god, I It does pay off for Brian who got it exactly 1992 wins.

Oh my God. I can't tell you how bad I am with years. I don't know how that happened. That was such a that's a crazy. What a match up Brian. That one was thinking about when the Johnny Cash Americans recordings came out. That was kind of what I tied to it.

I think it came out after that or maybe it came out during that and kind of what I tied to it. I think it came out after that, or maybe it came out during that. And he was just like, fuck it. I'll do a Taco Bell commercial. That was a fucking good win. I just got a guy to just tip my hat to you. Yeah. OK. Well played. I mean, and back then we had, you know, Bob Hope, Johnny Cash and Steve Jobs. Now we got no hope, no cash and no job.

That's true. Why? Kevin Bacon doesn't die. Hey, just like a restaurant, I got your feedback, let's open the feedback. Today's email is from Karen, pronounced Karen. Karen writes, this is the dumbest thing, but I thought you fellas needed to send, has a URL for jackinthebox50k.com. My friend Drew and I were inspired by the Taco Bell 50K and thought it would be a good idea to combine our love

of our local San Diego staple Jack in the Box and the disgusting sport of ultra running. We are idiots and masochists who love to run and eat and what better way to do it? We have to eat at 10 different Jack in the Box, J and the B's, during our 31 mile tour to San Diego. We must have proof of our consumption via receipt. It's absolutely terrible and I hope we get drunk

to deal with the pain. Anyways, I thought you might mention, I thought you might like how stupid this is. I forgot to mention that this is on 420. And also had to ask a question. If you had to participate in a foot race, what chain would you choose to fuel your run? This could be the meal the night before or during the race.

That's an insane thing to do. They're running 31 miles, 50k, and eating at 10 different Jack in the Box along the way. That's an insane thing to do. They're running 31 miles, 50 K, and eating at 10 different Jack in the Box along the way. That's disgusting. That truly is disgusting. So what one would we wanna do? I will say that I actually, I ran the LA Marathon once. I ran it with my dad and we did the,

we went to Bucca di Beppo the night before, cause that was back when it was just like, you know, I was like 20 years ago and we're like, oh, you're supposed to carbo load before you run, which I think is like completely discredited, like bro science. But at the time was just like, you know, I was like 20 years ago and we're like, oh, you're supposed to carbo load before you run, which I think is like completely discredited, like bro science. But at the time we're like, oh yeah, we should go eat a huge pasta dinner.

And the next day, like, why do I feel like shit trying to run 26.1 miles? Is carbo loading bad? I don't know if it's bad or not, but I just like, I know that that was like a thing that I remember doing. I still thought that like some sort of pasta or noodle is not a bad choice.

Yeah, maybe not. I mean, I think you'd do a lot worse than going to the olive garden if you're picking a chain. I think you're supposed to eat goo now. Is that the thing that that runners goo? I see people running in an air ride all the time. Yeah. And they just squeeze something into their mouth.

Yeah. Uh, I, I mean, if I had to pick, it would definitely be probably taco bell because it's small. You know what I mean? Like I, I feel like you don't want a bunch of food or again, the lazy way out and say smoothie King, like a smoothie place. Like that would probably be drinking that for so long. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. And a lot of smoothies would probably make your stomach feel not great for the sugar.

And you might have to diarrhea while you're running. So I don't really have an answer because I all of my impulses are bad. I think Taco Bell is not a bad one because you can choose like your order size, like you were saying, or you get something a little bit more modest. But I know you're a guy who gets a lot of steps in. Are you still like walking like 10 miles a day? Yeah, 10. Uh, I, right now it's at 10, but generally by July it's 20 or 25.

Man, uh, I'm re I'm recording more during the day now, but yeah, I'm, I'm still psychotic about fucking walking as I think I already, I got an Apple watch, which like. First, it made me change my move goal to 850 calories, so it's hard to even close the ring. Yeah, sure. And then you're like looking at then if the rings not close, it drives me fucking crazy. So, yeah, I will. I walked like 14 miles yesterday.

It feels good, though. It does feel I walked like 14 miles yesterday. Um, it feels good though. It does feel good to get 14 miles. I was, you're, you're, you're going to burn much more than 850 calories. Oh yeah. Yeah. I usually hit like 250% of my move goal. I've even hit 400% of it in the past. It just like, it's basically like, if I don't have anything to do for a day, I will get up at like 1030 and just walk until 630. And like for guys, that is great.

Yeah. Because I just find stuff on my phone. I would feel pretty crazy like sitting at my desk, like some guy in a laboratory reading Reddit, reading Reddit posts, trying to find weird guys in my office. So I think it's better that I walk. No, for sure. Uh, I will, I will say that I, you know, again, going back to the one, the one

time I ran the LA marathon, I ran some half marathons as well, but before and after, but the one time I ran a full marathon, I've said this before on the podcast enough times for people to be annoyed by it, but I went to McDonald's afterwards, I got a big Mac at the time. They had super size. I got a super Size Big Mac meal and then with a full sugar Coke and then I got a Coke heavy and then an M&M McFlurry.

And it was like the best meal of my life. It was so fucking good. Everything was hitting and it was like exactly what I needed after I was completely had fatigued my body. But as far as eating on the way, I'm going back to a chain Brian shouted out earlier. Think I think a Wetzel pretzel. I think you get some of those. What's a good either you have

the same of it. Yeah. Or are you taking the little nugs and you're you're you're popping those in your mouth as you're getting your miles in. Oh, those are great pretzels. Hey, if you've never been to LA, fly out there and get a Wetzel's pretzel. to L.A. Fly out there and get a Wetzel's press. Runners runners goo. Yeah, is interesting. Yeah, I did not know about the runners. No, it's a whole thing about snack or whack. Runners, we should do some we should do some runners go on the show.

It would be good. I'm sure it tastes like shit. I mean, it's like a goo. I don't even like that. It's called goo No, I hate that it's called goo. Give me a runners. Who makes the goo? No, I'm gonna make runners jizz and sell it Hi, I would like that there was a runners goo and it was like Sonic or Usain Bolt, you know, like Just filled with filled with their goo. One of the big companies is just called Goo, G-U.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the one I know of, is Goo. But like Power Bar makes one, Cliff Bar makes one. So I think a lot of them, a lot of the brands have a version. Gatorade has one. That's such a good answer. The only, your answer, I actually, I came around, I thought Taco Pell was a bad answer at first,

and I've come around on it, just cause it's so easy to, like you got a soft taco or a hard taco, you eat it and you go, and it is like, would be enough energy, but you feel light enough, I feel like that you would be okay. Yeah, and also we're fucking hungry, and we watch a bunch of Taco Bell ads. I mean, that is a part of it too.

I'm gonna get a Chilito for dinner tonight. It's Chilito night in the Quinvy house. You know what I'm going to say? I'm going to say a fast food hot dog chain, Wiener schnitzel. Wow. Should just take down a dog. It feels like a, yeah, that's fun. I feel like a hot dog.

Like you could just eat a dry and I would, what if I'm running, I could do a dry dog even, I guess I'm thinking of this like marathon style where it's more like you go and- Yeah, you gotta grab and go or you gotta eat on the run. You gotta grab and go? Yeah. But going off of your, what you just, it's just kind of yes and what you just said.

And you gotta go fast when you're doing a marathon. Sonic drive in, get yourself a corn dog or get yourself some of their regular bun length dogs and in a bread cradle and then you're sitting pretty. You know what I used to love after working out? And a slushy too. Oh man, how refreshing would a Sonic slushy be on a military marathon? That would be great.

That's good as hell. But you know what else I was thinking could be good? IHOP. Yeah, IHOP's my answer. IHOP's pretty good. If you have a question or comment about the world of chain restaurants, you can email us at feedback at birdfuck.com
