This is a headgum podcast. Want to watch this episode? Check it out on our YouTube channel by going to YouTube.com slash doughboys media. My name is Joe Biden and I love ice cream. This is how the one-term president opened remarks during a 2016 press conference held at the Columbus, Ohio headquarters of an ice cream company founded by Jenny Britton Bauer. While Biden opted not to run for president that year, instead clearing the runway for Hillary Clinton to spectacularly crash and burn, in 2020 he did secure the nomination. And again, he associated himself with Bowers' sweet treat brand. During that election, Eater reported that Biden campaign had spent over $10,000 on artists and ice cream ordered from the Columbus Creamery.

In advance of the fall's presidential debates, his campaign Instagram posted a photo of the brand's salted peanut butter with chocolate, flakes flavor, cheekly captioning it as a performance enhancer. And those weren't the only times that cycle the Ohio parlor would generate political headlines. That same year, appearing via Zoom on the late-night talk show hosted by the UK's most talented and beloved citizen, James Corden, then Speaker Nancy Pelosi showcased her twin $24,000 sub-zero freezers stocked with the company's containers. Despite these incidents that reflected the Democratic shift away from the working class and toward educated urbanites who can afford $12 pints, Biden prevailed in the general election.

Though he lost Ohio by eight points, as the ice cream purveyors' home territory has slow faded from swing state to solid red state. Bauer, an outspoken Biden supporter herself, celebrated his 2021 inauguration by creating a White House chocolate chip ice cream flavor in honor of Diamond Joe. It's difficult to know what Biden's legacy will be, if it will be more tied to him defeating Trump in 2020 or holding on too long in 2024, more about professional accomplishments or personal failings and tragedies. Or perhaps he'll be remembered for his fondness for the frozen dairy dessert. To quote political science professor David Niven, quote, You have to appreciate the Joe Biden mastery of the ice cream cone. This week on doughboys,

we return to Jenny's splendid ice creams. Go is the Dodo Boys. Come on the Dodo Boys. Welcome to D'O Boys, the podcast about chain restaurants. I'm Tiger Wager, along with my co-host, Anthony Snacky, the spoon man, Mike Mitchell. Wow. It fits the theme-wise, because you know why? Welcome to Twisted Monthful.

That's right. Twisted Mothel in celebration of Twisted Metal Season 2. I don't know. Was that like him? I was trying to be clips. Oh, that's good. I recognized him.

I liked it. And to quote our friend Sweet Toothwags, this is going to be fun. The first attempt of twisted monthel was unfortunately thwarted by the very necessary WGA and Sag After Strakes, which put all these prohibitions on promoting the first season.

It was just unfortunate timing for the show, which succeeded nevertheless, but we were on it, we were, we planned to do this back when season one launched and unfortunately we weren't able to do it. It was so tough taking meetings on the lots during the strikes. It was the

WGA and the SAG strike, so we didn't, so this is twisted metal two colon one. Colin one, yes. Wow. Tried my best to come up with some twisted metal themed roast ready for season two and the triumphant return of stew, your character. Some bad alts I thought of were Thomas

Hayden Church's chicken, pretty good and Samosa Joe, although I'm worried that one sounds a little problematic. Roast at birdfock.com. A little. We've had the same thought. That is... Wags, I'm very excited. I think that this season is great, and I'm

excited for everybody. You're going to meet some new faces that are going to come on the show. Yeah. I'm going to meet them? I've already met them. Okay. You were in Toronto. We were up and... We'll get into it with our guests, but we were up in We've already talked to Toronto with one of them, but I want to get everyone's perspective

because you all spent a bunch of time up there, up in T-DOT. Yeah, that's all right. I didn't like it for a stretch, and then I did grow to like it quite a bit. It was very nice. It was a grower not a shower. It is a grower not a shower,

which I like that. And Mitches neither. So he feels camaraderie in the city. Does he understand? I don't throw me off track here why because you've already gotten under my skin

I'm neither I'm not a grower norseuer but you know what there's a lot of roles to fill in this world it's true yeah I'm a little nub man

um um uh well let's hit him with the you know what before I came here there was a debacle there was a couple debacles

one with the restaurant we went to today yeah but also I open up my I open up my washing machine it smells like fish Weird. Yeah, I don't know why it smells like fish.

So I was sniffing all my clothes before I got here and it was trying to, there's something. The washing machine or the dryer, specifically the washer? I think maybe the washer, yeah. Did some like cat food get in a, in a towel or something? I don't know. My hypothesis is that the rubber surrounding the, you know, the machine is moldy. Yeah. All right.

Is your washing machine hooked up to the ocean? That's, I mean, that's what I was, I mean, fish don't usually swim up, like, the line to the faucets, I feel like, yeah, I don't know. But it's a very fishy smell, so hopefully I don't smell like fish today. I haven't, I haven't clocked it. I don't know if anyone else didn't notice it. I have not noticed it. Or Wally, I don't know. It could be, I think it's Wally and Irma related.

I don't know what it is. But that's my day so far. How about you? And also, I did something else today. And I don't want to say it yet because one of our guests is going to be mad at me. Okay. You're looking at me. Yeah.

Okay. I did something that I promised you I would do. You finally watched Encanto. This is the truth. But I have like 25 minutes left. There was a... Oh, boy. Those are the most important 25.

A lot happens there. I'm going to say this. Oh, my goodness. Wait, where'd you leave off? Mirabelle. Mirabelle, she has, the house is collapsed. She has gone off into... Spoilers, by the way.

Spoilers. She has gone off into the woods. I, so far, I love it. This movie is getting me emotional the whole time because also it's like the loner thing and not being special. 2025 and it came out four years ago. Jesus. It's getting me emotional.

It was getting me emotional the whole time in Bruno. I mean, I knew of we don't talk about Bruno and I knew the song that you sing in the at the beginning, which you do great with. But then look. There was a fish situation. My washing machine started to smell like fish. And there was a situation with this restaurant, and I got thrown off track, and there's about 25 minutes left.

And you're never going to know how it ends because you're never finish it. I'm finishing it tonight. I'm going to finish it tonight. You're watching the movie and we're just like, I mean, honestly, kind of yes. He was crying. He was crying so his nasal cavities were clear, sniffed in, smelled fish. I was. There were multiple moments in the movie that were making me tear up.

And it's not even the end of the. movie it was a it's a it's a tearjerker we told you it's a beautiful film a beautiful film i really do enjoy it so far i'm not just pandering to our guests but uh my favorite number is family madrigal thank you it's a great it's a great number yeah i love it um i i have a cleaning lady who comes every so often yeah people are gonna call me silver spoon man but uh a cleaning lady comes every so often it was a and so there's some stuff that's folded and put away that smelled like fish got it so i was going through my clothes that were put away and smelling them to see if they smelled like fish and then washing them again.

So she's folding your fish laundry while your speed watching in Canto on 1.5X. There is so many levels to this. I can't even. You know, bitch, there's a lot going on in the world. I don't know if you've been out there.

But your fish laundry isn't really at the top of most people's list of stuff. Me, you know, this is a period of time right now. I know, I know. You cares about your fish underwear. I, I, I, I know. And look, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, it's, I, it's, I, it's, I, it's, it's, it's a horrible time.

And, uh, my cleaning lady Mirriela, would, would, close to Mirabell, Mirabell. rattled as a great person and I gave her a big chunk of cash today because I also felt bad that I had fish laundering. I don't know why I had fish laundering.

I didn't know, I don't know what is causing the fish laundering. I really don't know what it is. And I don't know if there, I was like, did I bring fish? I don't think I had a fish ever. I don't think I had a fish. No, there's, I mean, do you really want to get into this?

It's mildew and you're, is it mildew and you're, Yeah, it's milding you're, in your... After you wash, like, after your washer runs, do you shut the door again? Yeah, a lot of the time. So, yeah, you got to leave it open and let it dry out. Otherwise, that rubber rain. I don't know if we'll go in there and take a ride. Take a ride.

Only if you close the door behind them. They can't... They don't have opposable thumbs. That is a... Good point. It would be funny. I mean, I won't close my cats in the washing machine for crying out loud. Yeah, don't do that.

But I put, like, blankets in there and stuff. What are we doing here? What are we doing? We're talking about your cats and your washing machine. What are we doing? I think it's the cats. I think the cats pissed on certain laundry. I think that's what it was.

I think the cat's pissed. And also I did keep- I did keep a clean thing of laundry next to a bag of kitty litter. So I do think that there is a possibility. So this may be a skill issue on your part. I keep my clean laundry next to kitty litter. I don't always keep my clean laundry.

You're sure you want to save this for Sherlock season three. Or maybe your Tinder pro. profile. I'm on Raya, actually. Oh, wow. After they denied me multiple times, they finally let me on that. Like one day, they're like, you're finally accepted.

I'm like, what the hell I applied for this a long time ago? I keep my, just this one time I kept my, my fresh laundry next to a kitty litter bag. Next to a kitty litter bag. Ria is fun because you can see all celebrities that are not interested. They don't have that, like, I'm like, oh, cool, look who would, it's like a, it's a fanning or something, and you swipe right, that's not a fanning.

Now I'm nervous because I just, everyone I'm going to say. You're saying a hypothetical. It's not someone who's actually on that. It's at least their own. And I just swipe right. It doesn't mean any, nothing's going to happen. Do you, what is it? Do you swipe left for, like, no and right for yes.

Right for yes, yes, yeah. Do you, what, did you, did you, did you, you never had? What, that's how I met Brad on Raya. Oh, did you really? Yeah, that's how I met him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I was like, who are all these Wackadoos? These are all like...

Yes. And there's a lot of... There's a lot of wacadoos. Koo-Kachu on there. Including this wakadoo. Who has some fish-smelling laundry, if any, ladies... Ladies, get in line. Don't push. Don't push.

There's enough Magnetual for everybody. Recently on Lexa Pro and Adderall, if you guys are interested, you get heavily medicated. You guys want to share? That's weird. Oh, hit him with a drop, Emma. That's what you were waiting for. I can tell he's me, Obama, once again,

and I just want to say, I too support President Trump. Oh, my God. I feel like that should show up in a future Count Dropula drop. Count Drupula. Come. Dropula. Come. Come.

Great. Speaking of shit and vomit and diarrhea, I have to go to bathroom. Mom! Bathroom stuff can be tricky. Michael. Don't get littleized in those shorts Count drop, you look That drop made me feel like I'm going to hell

Well isn't that special Great I'm glad that there were a couple of farts At the end of it as well That was such a dirty Drop came great The marks really got me though They were good

Nice little button there Dropkin great job picking a drop That completely embarrassed me in front of My two co-workers In many ways My boss in a lot of ways That drop changed to storyline for next season You might have to write some for a fish storyline for Stu next season.

Can Stu become a shape of water? I do love that movie. I know people don't like it. I like it. And I love Encanto, so far. We'll see how those last 25 minutes go. You text Stephanie. Uh-oh.

I will not tell you. text you uh oh i do i very much enjoy i very much enjoy better box review changing um i like the guy who can change it to different people your cousin your your your cousin camilo yeah like a chameleon get it yes that's great that's i i now i do get it uh i did not get it but at the time but uh you're the family madrigal song is so impressive when you're when you're doing the like it's basically kind of like a rap verse of it yeah my cousin delores can hear the whole chorus from here. It's like, yeah, just just a just a fucking nimble dexter

sucks. Yeah. It was pretty good. You know, I feel like I've told you this, but when we were rehearsing for the Hollywood Bowl for the live version of it. Which is cool as hell. Lynn was like, then I got to make you sing that all together

in one piece. And I was like, hey man, yes, that's the whole point of this. People are coming there and then watch the sing it live. And he was like, that's not made to be sung live. That song's not. live you can't sing it live and i was like well that's i'm gonna have to people have bought tickets already my friend you wrote it and i and i have seen that and i have seen that video of you singing it at the hollywood ball oh yeah and you you knock it out of the park i was there

i went night one wow it was very impressive it was awesome yeah that's good time which i think i sent you that video it's a possibility wager sent me that video I was hopped up on many medications to help me. The Adderall would probably, I might be able to sing that song if I took it not too long ago. So I am kind of a little, I'm a little too. That's why you did that whole bit about your fish smelling laundry. I'm going to figure out the fish mystery. I washed, so I washed some fish clothes.

I can't believe we're still talking about this. I guess you're sitting here. You know they have an out. All right, I'm going to say this. I washed some of the fish clothes. I yell. What are we doing? I kind of want to hear him do a rap song to

Family Madrigal about the fucking fish movie. It might be Wally and Norma or I can't think of anything else. Happy summertime to all of you. My wife and I are rewatching Twisted Metal Season 1, getting ready for season 2. I forgot how funny it is. Wow, you piece of shit.

By the way, very typical. She is beautiful in earning her master's degree and I'm making drops. Count Tropula. It is Count Tropa. On Instagram. Thanks, Count Tropula. I washed some of the fish clothes and I

and I smelled them and they... I veto it. I veto it. I veto. They still smell like fish clothes after a watch. I do think people were surprised by how much of those smell like fish and how funny the show is. I don't think people expected that. No.

Season one, which I think people expected the show to be bad. I think they definitely did. I was... I think that they did expect it to be bad, and then there were a lot of, like, angry, I was, I don't know if you do this at all, Stephanie. I mean, you're, you are much more sane than I am. Let me introduce everybody so we got on discussion.

Drops at birdfrock.com from Twisted Metal Season 2, streaming now on Peacock. Today, as of today, as of this episode's release, July 31st, three episodes are out, three new episodes every Thursday. Stephanie Beatriz, Michael Jonathan Smith. Thank you both so much for being here. Hey, thank you for having us.

We're very happy to have you. Thank you for doing this bullshit. again. And we're both you, we recorded episodes with just you two first. That's right. We had MJ in studio. We had, we had Stephanie in studio, and then also you joined us in Toronto for our live show.

It was a lot of fun. Yep. Yeah. And we just didn't say it was twisted month, though, and we cut out everything about Twisted Monthel. We said we recorded some, or some episodes. I can't remember either of them were with you, where we talked about the show and then we had to edit a lot of that out.

And so it was kind of, I know we definitely did that with Joe. It's kind of a bummer. And then I think I only Mitch, no. It's not a takeaway. No, good unions. No, things are better because of those strikes.

So it was well worth it. But there was a Comic-Con we didn't get to go to. But this year's Comic-Con, we did go to already. Yeah. Which is very fun. Yeah, yeah.

We already did it. I think that this season is much better. I look at comments. I like look at the Twist of Metal subreddit. I like will look at, I'm sick. I'm a sick man. And I'll look at, I look at what people are saying. Do you never do that for any projects?

I've really tried not to do that with this show. Sure. Because, you know, I don't know if you know this about Reddit, but sometimes they don't like women. Yeah. And I'm sorry about those posts. It can be difficult. It can be difficult.

So, yeah, I really like that Reddit is so passionate about our show. Mm-hmm. But, yeah, I really try not to. I really try not to, because, like, I just, like, comments in general, people will just be like, you know, my girlfriend and I love the show, but we hated, we hate it quiet. And that is the thing that you, that's what you glom on to, but I will say, over week, you forget, like, all the good stuff. All the good stuff, so I just don't look at any of it anymore. This happens to us with the doughboys subreddit. It gets me pissed off every day.

Yeah, I just don't, I mean, I just don't look at that. I completely shut that, shut myself off from that, and my life is improved. Yeah, that's helping, you know. I don't have Instagram or. TikTok on my phone and I will say it's huge it's so free yeah it's so free it'll be nice to get rid of Instagram just put it on your iPad that's what I do I also just like Raya Instagram never would never give me a blue check they don't think I'm cool enough it's fat I think it's size as why so that's what I think so I think it's a big fat I think it's a big

fat guy thing that's what I like to do to at least make it my cause that it's a big fat guy what do you need the blue check mark I don't need it I don't in fact I don't want an Instagram so fuck off They were just about to come in with a check. On the little silver tray. Yeah, a little silver tray. All right, then. Never mind.

We'll give it to this AI. I was trying to post a clip from the show. Well, also, I was going to say this. I think that our show was, it was a great way where people were being mean to it. And then we won people over with the first season, which I think is like, that to me is so fun to see people. I'm extremely proud of the show. I'm extremely proud that people, like, came in with a low expectation, which was kind of the hope a little bit. Because I think you're coming out against all these other video game shows and people are like, wait, they're making a twisted metal show. Why? And then we surprised them and people love it and they're excited for more. And oh, my God, was that your door? It was not my door.

Oh, okay. It's not embarrassing. Oh, my God. It wasn't me. It wasn't me. But my clothes don't smell like bad. Mitch's ring camera goes on and we see a merman speaking in. Mitch, I'm a bark. Opening all the drawers, taking stuff out, rolling around it. Murch. I want to jerk off your clothing. What does he have, though? What the hell am I supposed to suck off with the mermaid?

He's got the tail. I don't know what's going on down there. I don't know. I put the fin in my mouth for crying out loud. Get your tongue in between there, man. Why, man? So in this scenario, he's breaking into your house, and you're like, all right, what do I suck off here?

You don't want to owe him that. That's a good point. I guess I don't have to suck off the people who break into my house. It does get them to leave, though. I'll say that. You were trying to post a clip you were saying? I was trying to post a clip, and then I thought I couldn't post it because of Instagram. Right.

I thought that I needed the blue. And then it wasn't the case at all. So I was like, I don't care about it ever. I don't care about it ever. But I do like, I knew when people were, I was like, they don't know what the show is and what this guy and all the writing staff has in store for everybody, which you guys did a great job in mixing. It's that funny thing of like, you know, like, I want the character to be this way. And it's like, well, in a TV show, you have to, you have to have a character that can exist in an environment. Like, you know what I mean?

You can't have people just driving in cars for 30 minutes or whatever. And I think that people ended up really liking it. And I liked to see that turn. It was great to see people come around. And I'm glad that people are super stoked for this new season. I think people will love what we're doing, I hope. And the three episodes that are out today are really fun and cool. And, you know, the tournament is awesome.

And, hey, if you wanted people driving in cars for 30 minutes straight, we got some episodes coming your way. We got a lot of more action this year. I think, like, what's so great about this season is we kind of took what season one was, which was like, okay, here's this great world. Here are these amazing characters that you love, including these two, who are incredible this season. Like, really, the performances that you guys do this year are unbelievable. It's really great. And I loved working with both of you this year. Likewise.

And I think, like, if you loved season one, if you thought it was really funny, if you really loved the world. Stephanie gave you a so-so. If you just loved, like, how everyone, you know, interacted. You get even more interactions between these two. We kind of took what worked from this season and just made it look even better. There's even more action. Like, I kind of did the math. We have, like, I want to say three times as much action.

I love how I was like, I did the math. And then I kind of just, like, bawled it. But it was, we have like three times as much action. We have more episodes. We have 12 episodes this season. And it just feels like we kind of took everything everyone loved and did even more of it. So I think it's really something special this year. So I'm stoked for everyone to see it.

That's cool. It's going to be great. Stephanie, we didn't get to talk to you about season one really. But like I'm curious because for me, what stresses me out watching the show is the vehicle stuff. Because I can't imagine like stunt driving or like being in a car that, you know, like it's, I know sometimes it's like you're behind the wheel and someone else is driving. it about but like what is that was there anything particularly memorable for you from any of the in-car

sequences? Yeah I mean there's three sort of iterations of it right there's you driving there's you pretending to drive while there's a stunt driver on top of the car in a cage that's been built and may have all the controls of the car the pod car

which is terrifying terrifying I just want to interject and then the other one is there's you in a green screen Right. And then the other one is like you're not even in there at all. It's your stunt driver. You're on the side being like, ooh.

Woo! Or you're doing a year. But I think the, they all have like their challenges. The scariest stuff is the podcar, I think. Yeah, sure. Because, you know, up to this point in your adulthood, you've been taught to like really deeply pay attention to everything while you're driving. Right. Really deeply.

So like you just get in this like this very like, Pavlov's dogs, is it? Is this like, is that right? Pavlovian, yeah. Pavlovian. So you have this like Pavlovian response when you're behind the wheel to be safe. And yet you know that you're rolling and like you're going really fast doing super dangerous stuff. And you have to act like it's your choice to do the dangerous stuff.

And you have to memorize what you're doing and like make it look like real, you know. And I don't know. There was definitely more stuff in the cars this year. Oh, yeah. For sure, for sure. I mean, when you asked about Pavlov, these two chimed, you were right. Anyways, these two chimed in. I just looked scared.

You were the dog. But like so much of the car stuff, all the cars are practical. Yeah, all the cars are practical. I think we have some of the stuff with grim on the motorcycle is CG and axle is CG. But all the cars moving are practical. And then explosion stuff we do around it is not. So we have to be like extremely safe. and it's like very being in those cars like I had a one of the stunt guys walked there's a sequence in one of the episodes where we do a race in the middle of the in the like in the like in the what do you call like where we do the doll race it's like the like a field essentially yeah yeah and the stunt guys um Dave Barrett and Logan um we're like hey we want to show you the what the path is that we're going to do this race we want to pitch it to you and I was like okay well show me like no get in the car I was like oh I

okay and they weren't taking me on stunt cars they took me in like the rental car so they just like drove me through it and were talking me through it and they were driving at 60 miles per hour and Logan who was driving me is the guy who did the who broke the world record of number of um canon rolls in uh the fall guy wow so he was one of our stunt coordinators with um Dave barrett who is our um our second unit director and Logan was driving me through this thing driving at Dave's brother or no no uh Dave they weren't brothers but They're friends. Oh, okay, all right.

They look nothing alike. Did Dave have a brother that was? He did have a brother who was one of the drivers. One of the pod drivers. Okay, yes. He was my pod driver. I mean, so these guys are incredibly talented, but the entire time, I'm just like holding on for fucking dear life. I mean, I definitely shit my parents.

Like, I just, I mean, it's so. Later, he was like, we took MJ out. He looked a little green. Yeah, I mean, I'm just like, I, and also, like, I had gotten in a car accident in my life. I had flipped a car. So like I was definitely like You were in a car accident where you flipped the car? Oh yeah, I flipped the car.

I flipped it? I flipped it. Yeah, not on purpose. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was this when you were younger or? I was, yeah, I was actually out here doing an internship and I was driving on the five connecting to the 101. Oh my God. And I was driving the speed limit.

And I hit some sand and the car spun around. around and the next thing I know the car was upside down and if I had gone any faster, I would have gone through the fence and gone into the, into the, what is it, the galley? I don't know. The L.A. River. The L.A. River. Oh, yeah. So I told my car.

And my, like, iPod was like swing. So I had to, I had to unbuckle my seatbelt and let myself down. I didn't hurt. I didn't break any bones or anything like that. Like the worst was that. I just got a huge glass shard in my hand from like letting myself down upside down. Because I had to like let myself down and then kick the car door open. Your origin story for twisted metal is, this is insane.

I was born in the twisted metal. Also, what I'm interested in what internship you were doing because it's so sad if you were like, I was like delivering for like American dad needed like a. It was even, it was for a production company called Purple Pictures who made the film the hottie and the knot. So it was worth it. It was worth it. Yeah. Wait, is that Paris Hilton is in that, right? Yes.

It's like Paris Hilton and then the naughty has like prosthetic makeup or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, Paris, Illinois used to say that's hot, right? Is that why it was the haughty and the naughty? And they were very proud. They're like, we got Paris. Great. Well, she's a great artist.

Anyway, but to go back to the question, the car stuff is like so crazy. and the fact that you did way more car stuff than I was in one day of it. It's, like, really intense. It's crazy because it's also, like, the guts of the car, you're supposed to be able to drive the car from the seat where you're supposed to drive the car, not on top of the car. Right, yeah. So, like, everything is connected, but, you know,

it's a little, like, with a little bit of duct tape and a prayer. I mean, like, incredible mechanics, but still, like, it's, it's, it's, these cars are also like these are the old cars they're not new cars they're not built from scratch they're actually the old cars that that and at this point most of those cars are real vintage cars yeah and I think it's a real hats off to our team that no one got hurt nobody got hurt everything was like I mean there was like everyone was safe it was like

but it's it's such a crazy experience because you're going so fast and you're like you just really have to give over all of your trust because you're going, you know, 50 miles an hour headed toward like a giant wall. And you know that at the last second, they're going to take a really quick hard right turn and like you got to, you got to act like you've made the choice to make the turn, right? And the camera's like locked onto the car, the side of the car. So it's right here. So if it sees you fake out, like now you've ruined a take and ruined the next 20 minutes, right? You might notice that I'm scared this entire season because I was, it's the scariest.

It checks out for your character, though. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. It does check off of my character. Because your character is going to be, like, steely and cool. Like, they've done it before, and Mitch gets it across his eye and say, like, I'm going to shit my pants. There's times where, I mean, we were going 60 miles per hour and, like, another cars coming at you. Yeah.

And Dave's brother is, what's it? Stanton. Stanton. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stanton was, like, a professional race car driver. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he's like, there's a race car driver, like,

controlling your car above you and there's other cars coming at you and you're going towards a wall and I yeah I nearly fished my pants to shit my pants I liked when Stanton would drive I mean he's so good he's just just going but also he would go like a little faster than he was told to always it was always like a little faster because for him it just felt so slow I think I said to I was like go like I was like go your fastest and then I regret it so immediately it's scarier than any roller coaster I've ever ever been on it was like it was and then also like you're like dinging into things like there's times where like your car is like crashing into stuff so it's like you're going back for another day and like you're like the fender is falling off

there was one thing where there was like a car was just like the car I was in was like shaking and like nearly destroyed yeah yeah but that's why we have multiples of everything and yeah yeah it's multiple of the cars which was neat and the guys on top is called it's called the pod driver yeah because they literally it's like what they do is they actually put a essentially a go-cart on top of the vehicle and then they rewire it so like they can't control the steering wheel the gas range like that it's all in the essentially a pot literally on top so when we have doubles of these cars there's like a roadkill double that has the

pot on top and we had another a couple cars that were like that as well knowing that like we're going to do some some stunts with some of this one or that one like did we have a pod for you there was there was a pod for yours uh there I heard Stanton say Now this is pod driving I was thinking that But I had not like ever look up But your pod driver

When it's Subola That's honestly a better That's I mean I liked yours more You imagine I guess I had When comes to dope boys I'm kind of the pod driver Keep things moving You know I'm you know what I'm sitting shotgun with you my man

Dave your wild man There goes why you're coming down the pod Are you being the proofs? Yeah, I mean, Greg groups. We're talking episode one, Stephanie. Sorry to be annoying. No, it's, no, it's not. I think it's extremely cool.

Did you have any, we were in Toronto for a very long time. Yeah, how long was everyone up there? Toronto. They were up there. They were up there. I think I was there longest. I was there from June to Halloween. Wow.

He arrived in July. I was there a full month before you guys. Yeah, I was there July to Halloween. Do you have any family up there for any of that? Or like, are you there? Like, okay, so it's just a whole thing of like trying to figure out how to manage your work is in a different city than where you live. Yeah, my family was, it was great. It was the summer.

So my wife and kid came up for the summer and they were able to stick up with me, which was nice. My family was there. They came. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Two great families.

They are too beautiful. But mostly I saw y'all, you know? Mostly I was with you guys. My work family. And our work family on the set, which was really cool. We had like a little family. It was like summer camp. It was great.

It was so fun. And we ate some good food as well. There was a lot of good food up there. That's what I was going to ask about. I know we've talked about this a little bit 70, but like, like, was there anything particularly memorable from your time up there in Toronto? I know you're working, you know, like constantly. But like, you know, you maybe have some free time for a little bit of a side mission.

There was so much good stuff. There was so much good food. Toronto's an incredible food city. Sugos? Remember, Sugos was so good. Italian. It was like, you didn't like it. I didn't go to, I didn't go to Sugos.

I had hatred in my eyes just now. I was like, you didn't like it. No, no, I would have liked it. Shugos was the one you had to wait in line for, right? Yeah, but I didn't. That Enkanto pass. Mirabelle does have a magic power. It's the front of the line pass, right?

My magic power is Brad. Brad knows everybody. Like, I don't know how he does it, but he's friends with everybody. Your husband is a huge foodie and really knows his stuff. He really knows his stuff. Made friends with everybody. Wow. Would constantly, like, somehow manage to get us and get us a table.

We went to a Cavs, Raptors game together. We had a ball. He's a good guy. You know what I would like to eat? One of those magical rapists, right? Did I say it right? They heal you. You're pandering to me.

No, they looked delicious. We've talked in the past. We've been like, what food would you eat from an animated movie? And it now would be one of... That's your new answer. Would I be, like, would I be like, would I be Jack? Like, would I be like, would it fix a lot of stuff? Come on.

Come on. Come on, no. A rip-a nubs. My dad used to make that of us every year. Christmas. I mean, I truly loved it. Your dad used to make a... Yeah, he'd make them every Christmas.

They're like, I mean, my mom would get mad because they're like not, like, the way my dad would make them, he would fry them, like, seriously fry them. So there's, there's two different ways to make up. You can't fry, you could bake them. But like, most Colombians, I think, like, in the pan, like, the way she does it in the movie, she's like, you know, flipping it with her hand or whatever. But my dad would, like, fry them in oil because they're... For people listening, what, and maybe for me a little bit, what, what does

does make up in a rapa. Arepas are like, it depends on what South American country you're from. And they're all, like, they can be a little different. But essentially, it's like a corn masa mix made into like a little, almost like a little flat cakelet. Not as flat as a tortilla, more like a little cakey, doughy, like a dough boy. Circular, pad with your hands, fry it in either oil or butter. Sometimes they have cheese in them Most of the time they have cheese in them

If you're like Venezuelan Sometimes you can like make them I think some Colombians do it too where they like Put an egg in it and then fry it And then the egg cooks while it's being fried Which is my dad's favorite way to make them They're delicious They're wonderful delicious fried

Salty, good yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy Give me that magic arrapa There's a weird lump in my palm Is there really? What even doing that palm I think it might be a cyst My mom's, oh boy

He's on Reya I got fish clothes And I got a weird lump in my palm I'm going to go to the I'm going to what's the hand doctor? That mom could be utilized Pretty easily though In a sex life

Pente They did we go to that bar that was like, this was less food and more bar. Oh, I took wives there. Oh, the one that was up above, it's the people, the same people that do pineapple bar. Yes, and it was, it was a, it was a, it was a, remember that bar where we went up the stairs? Yeah, it was like a second floor in like a market. Oh, right, right, right, yes. I just can't remember the name of it now.

And that was Brad's suggestion. And we went there after we went to Lee Restaurant. A lot of fun. Lee is amazing. Lee was great. I didn't love Lee. You didn't love Lee. Did you have the slaw?

I did have the slaw. I liked it. I really liked the slaw. I really liked the dessert. But I didn't like the... Mains? Yeah. Like the little rib stuff.

I was the short rib. I liked Lee. There was a... Did you guys go to... Now I'm just not going to remember any of the places. Can I get my map out? Please do. Wait, we all went to...

We all went to Lee together, right? Yes. Emily, were you there? Or Amelia, you left already. Yeah, I don't think I went to Lee. Oh, Mars was with us. Mars was still with us, yeah. But I had a lovely time there.

I think about that. I had a lot of time. I went to Lee twice. Did you really? I went with my former assistant Jorge, who also co-wrote episode one with me. Wow. I took him to Lee because he came out to set. Yeah.

And then I went to Lee again with Grant and Bill, who directed a bunch of the episodes. It's a Souser Lee, I believe, is a celebrity chef. It's his restaurant, and yeah, it's you know, I don't know, I don't know exactly what what category it is. I believe it's Chinese, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, it's a huge. I just gave Jared, Jared from Ghost draft. Do you know if you ever met him? Who's Chris Pratt's trainer? Great guy. I just gave him all these recommendations so I could pull up easy. You called it Ghost draft. The final title was Tomorrow War. Tomorrow War.

Is that the original title? It was ghost draft and it became Tomorrow War. But Fat Pasha, I liked quite a bit. I didn't go there. It was great. You did? I did not. Did you guys have Gaiubi?

Because I liked Gaii, it was a Japanese girl. That was very good. Did not go there. What about Cafe Polonez? No, I didn't have Kevin. That was Perugis. It was like. Oh, wait.

I did go there. Oh, wait. I love that place. The Perugis were delicious. No, I went to that weird bar that turned into a parogi place, the night that we were up till like five in the morning. No, that place was horrible. Horrifying.

Horrible. Horrifying and horrible together. Horrible. What was that called the hub or the hoax or something weird? It was a guy with a fiddle. It was not a cool scene. The guy with a fiddle. There was a guy with a fiddle.

It felt like the devil. Wow. You liked it. I got to play to parogi. Some weird guy was playing the fiddle on stage. I was having a blast, honestly. I was nearly at a Dave Matthews concert It basically was

I was having a great time The Ace That was like a No I didn't have the Ace I loved the ace Great diner food Sunnyside provisions Good sandwiches

This is basically right where I lived This was where we lived too I loved that area I'm going back to Toronto So Are you really? Yeah yeah I'm going up there

Hmm I don't know how much spoilers I can say here But a friends A couple good friends movie got into TIF. Oh, very exciting. Can I, can I bleep this?

Yeah. And my buddy and the movie, I did a movie, it was an ensemble cast, but the comedy called Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm excited. That's awesome. So I haven't seen it. It's screening at the midnight madness. It's doing, it's like a, so it's like a, I think September 11th.

It's playing. My gosh, that's so cool. Great day. One of my favorite restaurants I went to was down by Niagara. So I dragged my entire family. family down there, went to Rizzo's House of Parm. Oh, man. My God, the name of that sounds.

It's Maddie Matheson's one of his restaurants. Oh. What was his place on? Prime Seafood Palace. No, the small, like, burger place. Oh, Maddie's Paddies. Maddie's Paddies was delicious.

I had Maddie's Paddies as well. Loved. Wow. And I think I saw you sent pictures of Maddie's Patty's Patty's, and I needed to get it after I saw the pictures. It was good. To a bakery was delicious. That was like a very, very, very big.

Noctua. Noctua. N-O-Mat-Wa. I'm listening. It is owned by the Hocktua. She yons out. You mentioned places that we, a number of places that we were able to go in the week that we were up there doing our dough boys episodes. But the memorable meal I haven't.

I don't know if any of you all got to go there was with Emma and Amelia and Mars Melnick. who took us to Teno, which was... Didn't go to Teno. What's Sino? Teno was great. Teno was, it was, you know, I believe it was a Filipino restaurant. And then you just get like a huge, like they just dump a bunch of like rice, like garlic rice on the table and the whole whole bunch of seafood on top of. Oh my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I could have a fucking go. Why? I just got a film. Filipino food, traditional Filipino food, traditional Filipino food, traditional Filipino service. Incredible. Incredible.

I know we also weren't like standing close-ups of you. Is just you in the background? Like Mitch, we just did you in the background just to like walk past. We're, you have a job. I was not really complaining. Did wait, because this is a thing I learned from friend of the show, Zach Cherry, who was talking about, I guess, Anthony Hopkins,

because you were just mentioning being in the background. I know as an actor sometimes. Panable himself. Yeah, what's that? Panable himself. Sometimes as an actor, you are in. scenes where you maybe don't have any dialogue but you're there because your character would be there

but I guess Anthony Hopkins shorthand is when he sees a scene with no dialogue he writes N-A-R no acting required I love that NAR I gotta use the NAR method I had no idea that's pretty spot on unless somehow some way you're involved

no acting required you're just sitting around in the back no one's looking at you ABA always be acting that's Hopkins you're full of shit you need to always be on But didn't you do that for... I'm going to be like looking at my phone. Maybe it's a Blake check story, but for Thor,

didn't you just write that through the entire fucking stuff? Nossferat Tua, is that anything? We had, Mitch, this is, you're, you're, you've already memory hold the first episode of the year. We did, we debuted some new characters we're going to do this season of D-Boys. Was Nossfer-Hak Tua was one of them? Noss for Hock Tua. Yeah, Nass for Hock Tua. It was even worse.

Noss for a hawk-tua. Did you guys see that movie? I did not see it, but he didn't like the Nassvratu's hog in the movie. I think he just could have been more of a choice. It's kind of like in the middle, you know. It could have been really big or really small or something or just really weird.

I agree. Yeah, it's kind of normal. Like a shriveled carrot. Yeah. Big a choice. I'll have to watch it again and let you know what I think. I don't remember feeling like it was too small or too big. I remember feeling grossed out.

Yeah, sure. the point there. Yeah. I didn't, I haven't seen it. But I've been watching a White Lotus. I just started watching White Lotus. I'm going to, first season.

I just finished the first season. Okay. We get 25 minutes left. I'm watching. Everything gets resolved and it's really happy. I started season two. And speaking of hanging hog, there's some hanging hog in that watch. Oh, sure.

I've watched season two of, uh, we're kind of, we're jumping around the season. I'm wrong with like every hog. Anytime there's hog in white notice. I missed her skinned it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stephanie, I want to bring up the chain that we covered previously with you, which is Homestate, which has become a something of a go-to for me. They have like, like, you know, I'd been to home state before, but I'd be like, now

it's become more of a regular thing because I just like, especially when I'm trying to eat less meat in general, their plant-based options are really, really good. They're really great. Yeah, they're really great. And their ingredients are phenomenal. just I'm hungry now. I'm really glad to hear that. And we reviewed it with, didn't it? We reviewed it.

We reviewed it with you. Did we not or not? We did. Yeah, it was a golden spoon, I think. Yeah, yeah. I think, actually not pretty good, the Golden Play Club. Golden Play Club, that's right. Pretty damn good, honestly.

I'm impressed that you even knew any of that because this podcast is very dumb. For our listeners who maybe didn't hear that episode and aren't familiar with it, it's a home state is a text map. concept that is in Southern California. I think it's elsewhere now, too. But it's really, you know, the tortillas are great. And I like, they, the, my go-toe is just like they have the frio-tokers. The frio's so good.

The frio is just black beans and cheese, but they're so good. The frio is damn good. Yeah. They're so good. It's great. Now I want an Atwater Village. There's a, the home state is over in Atwater Village. A lot of good food. Dang.

Look at them. Is it going to get bad? You know, that's my fear of. I don't think so. I think that they're, I mean, they're, I mean, they're, expanding, but I also feel that they're very strongly, really, really ingredient forward. And I think that that's probably going to keep them good for a very, very, very long time, if maybe forever. I mean, I don't know.

They've been open for a while and they have remained good. It feels like the quality has remained consistent as they've, as they've grown locations. Who else is expanding me after I'm eating the homestay tacos, right? Not the way you should. Stephanie has a way of making me. I don't know that I was bad. Level up your jokes. No.

Come on. Try harder. I can't. This is as good as I get. No, I refuse to believe it. This might be a point of synergy, perhaps between our two topics today. We love synergy. Twisted metal, food.

What do you eat in the car? Are you someone who eats while you're driving? Do you like a drive-through? Because my personal thing is I don't love driving. It gives me a lot of anxiety. I can't eat while I'm driving, but I'm actually kind of like eating in a parked car. I find that very calming and private. I love this question.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love eating in a car. Yeah? I miss eating in a moving car. Really? I don't do it now. Right. Because I don't have a reason to eat in a moving car.

But before the before times, I would love eating in a moving car. Is this pre-family, basically? Yeah, pre-family. I mean, like, when we're, if there's any reason for us to, like, my kid does not eat fast food. Right. So, like, there's no reason for us to, like, do drive. through. Is that a choice that you guys made? No, she, we offer it.

The kid's like, I don't like McDonald's. We're like, really? Have you tried the McNuggets? She's like, I'm good. No, thank you. So it's not, I mean, we, for a long time, we said no fast food. And then when things got desperate, we were like, we have to stop a McDonald's. Do you have to eat something? Right. And she tried it for a little bit. And she's like, I don't like, this isn't real chicken. So now she's like straight up like no McDonald's.

In and out, we do. Yes. And she likes in and out, but the lines are so long. that it's like, we don't have the time. Yeah. He's going to tell you long but efficient because I know you're going to say this.

Long but efficient. But I told, it's a commitment. There's definitely times I have bailed on and in and out because of the drive-through line. I've also gotten into two

frackuses in the drive-through line because people have gotten tried to cut and I've yelled at them and that's been a whole thing. But in my college, like when I was in. I can't wait for your Karen video to come out

and yelling at some fucking lady who white male Karen kills man. I was like after, I was like, I guess I stopped doing this because I'm going to get shot. But I did, I did yell at some teens. I really scared him. And then they got out of line. And then I yelled at a dad.

I didn't know he had a kid in the car, but like he cut in front of me. And I was like, I was like, are you cut in line? He was like, you know, I can't remember exactly what the interaction was. But he's like, oh, I was going to buy your burger. And he was like, totally full of shit. He was just cutting. I was like, no, man, you got to go to the back or whatever. It was all, okay.

Anyway, my old thing is, I was like, what kind of example are you sitting for your child? Why are you cutting in line? This is the kind of behavior you want to pass on the next generation. And now the kid's like, Daddy, are you a coward? Yeah, good job, Wags. No, no, no. I'm on Wags side here. But I love, like, when I'd have to go to Culver City, I'd love going to the Wendy's and, like, I got to get some Wendy's and bring it back.

Or, like, in college, I used to drive from Syracuse to my hometown in Connecticut, and I would, like, get McDonald's on the way and to stay awake. Dinosaur barbecue? Yeah. Yeah. Did you... I did you... I did you... I did you...

But that's not a vehicle... That's not a meal. I mean... Yeah. Who am my friend Flintstone? But like I... But I love eating in the car when I'd get the chance.

Yeah. So you're like on the highway with like a double cheese burger. Oh, hell yeah. Fries, nuggets. No. I'm doing a full meal. Wow.

I love that shit. I was doing a road sandwich. Oh, yeah. I get my meal sandwich for home and then I have the road sandwich that I eat on the way to home. You know what's interesting when we're going to, you get it, you know... Throw on a podcast? or a book? I'm enjoying a full...

My ugh list of books. It's like it's the equivalent of like watching something while eating, like, or watching TV while eating. It's like, I'm enjoying the entire, but the TV is the road. Right. I'm usually rocking out on the way home. We don't talk about brun-no. There's no pillows on these couches because I was looking around for something to throw

you. Oh, worst mother yourself. Who voiced Bruno? John Leguizamo. It was John Leguizamo. I thought so. Okay. You're not a food and car person?

You know, I feel like there's just so much of my life where eating in the car was like a shame moment. You know, like, I'm sad, so I'm going to go to McDonald's and like get all these things that I are not going to really make me feel that much better. I'm still kind of in that face No, that's fair, that's fair And also, like, it's so, it gets so messy Like, everything gets messy And I would rather go get it And then, like, sit myself down in front of my TV

And have my little, like, moment, you know what I mean? I'm not, like, seeking it out to be clear. It's like, it's, if I had the choice, I would bring it home. I will say, I do love a bag of, like, a big size bag of Doritos And I haven't been, I mean, I've been running around doing some bullshit and I have to eat something and I've gotten gas and I'm like, let me just get a little bag of drinks. A little treat. But what about you, but Dorito fingers you got going on, right? But you put them in the car door, you drive with this hand, and then you reach over and eat with this hand.

Oh, okay. I like that technique. Yeah. That was a good technique. Thank you. The thing for a big guy with eating food in the car is like, it just is sad when you find a piece of lettuce like on your car floor or something later. And anyone who sees the lettuce is going to know, like, that came from, like, a Big Mac. It didn't come from, I wasn't eating a salad on the road.

It came from, like, a snack wrap or something like that. Snack wraps are back at McDonald's while. Hey, how about that? I'm going to try it out. But I don't like to eat in the car mostly because of that reason. I don't like to get shredded lettuce all over the floor of my car. But I do, I will do, like, a cheeseburger on the road. And sometimes I'll even do a McChicken.

Like, you eat more than just a sandwich and you go to McDonald's, right? Yeah. Are you, are you not? Yeah, what are you talking about? I mean, I know this. I know, I know you do. I don't know, you've slimmed down. I can't tell if you...

You've slimmed down, Mitch. Oh, shut up. Everyone looks great. Everybody looks great. We're all doing great. You look like shit. But do you never do the sandwich that you never do one in the car? This is the thing I, like, I'm just, what you were just talking about with Doritos fingers, I don't like having greasy fingers.

greasy hands. So, like, I have hand sanitizer in the car, but I'd rather just finish eating whatever I'm eating and then get back on the road if I have to drive. But I don't like multitasking in that way. The multitasking stresses me. Driving makes me anxious, too. Yeah. And that's the thing that's very terrifying to me is, like, I don't want to be in a position

where suddenly I'm trying to put a straw in a thing and, like, there's a car in front of me making dumb choices. You know what I mean? You guys some pod drivers for late night. Oh, my God. Stan, once around the block. Passed a car on the freeway here would be so cakey and delightful. It's a bus.

I mean, it's kind of the waymo experience you have, why, because I do like the waymo. Do you like the waymo? He likes what. Have you been in one? No, they freak me out. They did freak me out, and then I got in one, and I was like, this is kind of luxurious. I'm sure it'll get, you know, get shittified at some point, but right now it's like a, it just feels like a nicer version of ride share. And there's something about, like, being in a car.

I'm just laughing. Yeah. Thinking of this completely silent ride of you sitting in the Waymo silently as the Waymo is, the Waymo is like weirded out that you're not saying or doing anything. You start speaking in the robot language. I do say hi to it and then thank it. That's nice. Did you ever read that book, Robopocalypse?

No. I love this book. Thank you for looking at me, too, by the way. I appreciate it. Well, I look past. No, it's this great book. It was kind of like World War Z-esque. And it's like, you know, it's about the AI taking over.

And the reason I don't want to get in Waymo is because of that fucking book. Because I remember there's a moment in the book where there's a guy who's driving a normal car and they look over and they see self-driving cars going past. And there are people in the car like, because they can't get out of the fucking car because they lock. Yeah, yeah. And they won't let them out. and they just like speed past and then crash into things.

That's horrifying because the AI takes over. Is this a Max Brooks book? No, no. But it was written in a way like World War Z. Do you know what it's like people versus robots and stuff like that? They should make, they should do maximum overdrive. We reboot so many good movies and then they should like maximum overdrive is not. I loved maximum overdrive, but why not reboot maximum overdrive?

It's due for a reboot. Or duel feels like there could be a true one. I mean they're doing a they're doing running man comes out of this day and I'm like that's fun because running man is like kind of a it's a B movie it's a fun I I don't I haven't actually haven't seen that great running man trailers all but like I I'm not intentionally avoiding I just haven't seen it but the I did you know I've I've seen the running man movie obviously but like I read the Stephen King thing book pretty recently and it's it's interesting because it's wildly different than the adaptation so different I'm curious I'm curious so different I'm curious I'm curious I'm curious where the adaptation is going to land in terms of the sort of the book. It's more like the book. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because the book, because the movie is like, it's like you're in an arena. Yeah.

Right? And then the book is more like, oh, you're on the open world and everyone can like turn around and be like, oh, he's right there. Kill him. It's a little more Grand Theftado in it. And it's also has like a crazy ending, which I love. The end is great. The book's great. Okay.

I really like the book. Okay. The book is much more like, you'll read the book and be like, hey, we're not far from this. Yes. Yeah. So the movie looks fun. Which, by the way, I will say right next door to our set

was a non-union show, Beast Games. It was right next door to us on when we were shooting Twisted Metal. And I liked that all our union people were like, don't set foot in our fucking set. They have strict rules. You know, they have strict rules. It's so funny because the people who did,

was it, I don't know if it was the props or special effects. Someone who did, oh no, there's someone, one of the props or special effects teams that worked for us turn down the Beast Games guys because they were like, hey, we're Beast, we're the Beast, I keep wanting to say Beast Wars, but the Beast Games guys were like,

we want you to make a giant, um, ping, what was it, a flip cup? Flip cup. What do a giant flip cup thing? And they're like, fuck you. We don't want to do that. That rules. Yeah, they were, those guys were not great. I also did hear that if Mr. Beast,

if he comes up to you and you're following him on YouTube, he gives you like a thousand bucks or something, So I did follow him on YouTube while I was there. I wanted the money. I wanted that sweet money. I never saw Mr. Beast. Wow. To meet your hero.

Oh, no, beer pong. There were beer pong. That's what it was. That's what it was. And they, like, dropped humans into the beer pong cups or some shit like that. So it is very much like running. It feels very close to running man. Yeah, sure.

We shot a, can I say where we shot? Is that okay to say? We shot at an old bombardier. warehouse, where they make these planes, why? What a fun word to say. Bombardier. Bombardier.

And there was an old Tim Hortons that was now gone. But there was like Tim Hortons. I know. I thought it was functioning when I was waiting in line for a while. Oh, that's a bummer. Yeah, they took us, they took them when I arrived there, our MDA, our line producer took us on, took me on tour and was like, this is, look at all this set.

I'm like, wow, this is great. We own all this space. Like, yeah, yeah. We got a fucking Tim Hortons that I run inside. and it's like totally hollowed out. It's empty. I'm like, oh, this sucks. He's like, yeah, but look at all the space we have.

I'm like, yeah, but the Tim Horton says. It would have been really nice. It would have that right there. And there is one like two blocks away. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is pretty, for as far as food goes, there was no, there. We were kind of out in the middle of no, that Bombardier. Yeah, we were really far north in North York.

Yeah, it is a fun word to say. What was, it was, it was a, it was a Canadian? It was where they built jets. Oh, okay. It's not even like an airline or anything like that. No, no, no, they'd build them there. It was so cool. It was cool.

We taught, Stephanie, we did our, we covered Timbs for our, for our live show up there, um, uh, with you at, but, but MJ, I don't know, we've gotten your take on Tim Hortons. I imagine you had some Tims while you're up there. I did have a little bit of Tim, like, like, like, where would you, like, like, what's your overall, like, like, like, what's your overall thoughts? I mean, like, like, like, where would it land on the fork, uh, score, a scale for you? I thought it was fine. I'd say, like, three and a half. Three and a half, okay. Perfectly. There was one on the street that I stayed on, and I went in there to feed my child. Sure.

I was like, here, have some crap. It was fine. I, I, I'm not a big, like, I'm not a big, like. Sponsored by Timor. Yeah, right? Here, have some crap. No, it was perfectly fine. I'm not, like, the biggest sweets guy. So it's, I wasn't, like, seeking it out. Interesting. Which is, which brings us to today's episode. We are talking ice cream this month. I didn't notice you didn't eat all your ice cream. I was like, huh. Yeah. No, I just, I thought it was, I thought the don'ts were totally fine.

I just tend, it was fine. They were fine. Should we tell them a conversation for you? No, it's fine. You can't if you want. I mean, we were talking, I was like, I think we're going to do all ice cream. And MJ is not a huge ice cream fan, so he's doing us a service by doing this. I'm not doing anyone any service.

I was saying that sounds fine. On top of, on top of, on top of doing us a service by being here. Honestly, you're doing me a service by doing an entire month to promote this show. And also there's so many great people on the show Yeah, it's going to be awesome to highlight All these incredible actors and many people, which is awesome It's going to be a blast. You don't like ice cream, like, are there any desserts you do like?

Like, what is, what are your top tier desserts? I mean, or just sweets in general or like Sweets, I mean, like, I'm never the kind of person that's like Who, they've got brownies? Like, I'm just not sure. Like, if I was going to have a sweet, Like, I, I, I tend to like... That guy does sound like an asshole.

You get a brownie. I'm fascinated by the... Yeah, I, I mean, me too. No, I mean, like, if we, like, look, like, I'm, like, at holidays, I enjoy a pie. Okay. You know, like, I enjoy birthday cakes. Sure. Brownies are fun.

But I'm never like, oh, fuck, we got to get... Like, at Disneyland, I enjoy the treats. Uh-huh. But I'm never like, well, it's. I got to have dessert after dinner tonight. Like, I'm just not that. I love savory. I'm more savory than sweets.

Yeah. But I love a dessert. If you put two things in front of me, I would much rather have a pastrami sandwich than an ice cream. Yeah, sure. 100%. Yeah, I'm with you on that. Is this also a thing, though, of like,

after dinner? After dinner. After dinner, pastrami, obviously, obviously. What were you like when you were a kid? Did you not really, was Halloween, like, not really your day? I mean, of course Halloween was fine. It was great as a kid. I would love, I mean, candy was great.

But I just, as I got older, I just started to lose the... Did your parents let you have candy? Yes. Oh, yeah. We had, like, ringdings and shit in the house all the time. This is it. This is it right here. Because you had access to it.

Because I didn't have access to that stuff when I was a kid. And so it was like... Oh, totally. Anytime ice cream or sweets were around, it was like, ugh. The only issue is that me and Wags will be... We're the issue is that we had access to it. And we've never stopped. Getting it all the time.

We're still eating. I do think that there is that, I think you're right. That some people, some people, you get that, and then they're like, I, I, like, had soda and stuff, but I was not going to like, got out of it. You're not, you don't drink soda either, right? No, I don't drink soda, yeah. Well, you're better than all of us, though. My shit doesn't smell like that. It's not even, like, diet soda, you won't?

No, I'm totally caffeine-free. Wait, caffeine-free, no coffee. No coffee. Wow. How long have you been doing this? I'm almost with him. Besides, so that I drink Coke Zeros, I don't do, I'm not a coffee drink. Well, look at you.

Good for you. Yeah, I'm not a coffee person. I can drink it and have, drank it, and I drank decaf for a long time to be. Ooh, I don't even do decaf. I did that to, like, to get, like, the benefits of drinking, like, coffee, like having coffee bean. Sure. But I'm not, I don't drink coffee either. Oh, my God.

But have you, have you never drinking coffee? I never had coffee, period. I was never a big coffee coffee person. I did do black tea for a little bit but then I just I had to stop

because I started having stomach stuff with the caffeine because I was on a like multiple soda a day so I had to kick that that brown dragon off my back

my man but because I was doing like multiple cans of Diet Coke a day it was like bad so I think during the pandemic I was just like I have to go cold turkey and I have

it was like my wife was like putting like a damn cloth on my forehead I was like, I literally was like withdrawals. But I have not had any caffeine in, God, since like 20, 20. That's amazing. Damn.

All right. What the hell do you do in a movie theater? What do you do? I go water. Wow. Water and popcorn. I can't say this. I don't drink Coke.

That sucks. I hate it. I love it. Cleansing water. Even like drinking lemonade, it's like so much. sugar that I do that on like rare occasions. Sure. Hey, the T-Rex just took a big bite.

Like, the T-Rex picked that guy up and ate him. Here's like, I'm going to have a sip of water. Yeah, but you know what, great? I'm enjoying, I'm enjoying the immersive theater experience because that T-Rex is walking around. My water's rippling, motherfucker. My favorite drink lately is at highly likely in Highland Park, and it's half espresso, half Coca-Cola with cardamom bitters on top. It is the best.

That sounds interesting. I do, I kind of want to try it. Also, you know what I drinking a movie thing? She did her fucking beer because MacGuffins and Alamo has moved drink beers and cocktails. Yeah, I don't drink alcohol right now. Most of the time I don't. Yeah. So I need to, I need that brown dragon.

I'll tell you what I'll tell you what I take in the morning. This is my little buddy on my shoulder. One Adderall for me. Bing. I'm fucking off and going. Why? Fucking aquarium juice in the morning. Stephanie, Jenny's got pitched, which we're covering today from your side.

Like, where does ice cream land? and in your dessert hierarchy? Well, it's always going to be cheesecake first for me. Wow. What a choice. Always a cheesecake first. However, sometimes that cheesecake would be real bad, you know? Grocery store cheesecake, not great.

Sarah Lee, not so hot. How about Cheesecake Factory, Cheesecake? I like Cheesecake Factory, Cheesecake. I love those big, crazy high slices. Like, when they come to the table and they haven't tipped over, oh, delightful. I like that you just can get any flavor in the world of cheesecake. It's great. I like Cheesecake Factory.

How many calories are in it, too. Which is usually like 7,000. Super helpful in the choice making. Then I like, there's something childlike about ice cream that I really enjoy, especially the ritual of going in and trying all the little samples at the place and, you know, asking for this sample and asking for that sample and then like really like making your choice about what scoop you're going to get, you know? So unique to the ice cream parlor experience.

You don't go to a cookie shop and they give you a bites of a bunch of different cookies. It's just ice cream. It's just ice cream with those tiny little spoons. You zoomers have got it, Miss. Can I go off on the zoomers again for a second? You zoomers got it made. Back when I was younger, you had to take a guess at the best ice cream flavor. If you wanted a taste of a tough shit, you just had to go with your gut wise.

That's made up. That's not made up. That's not true. I didn't get a little spoon of shit when I was younger? No, not when I was. Jimmy's getting pissed off. She started to growl a little bit. you get on your giant one-wheeled bicycle

like what are you talking about you pull up your spat I always remember there being samples I agree in New England I was not getting I was not getting free samples I wasn't getting free samples I used to get them Friendlies was like a sit-down restaurant Yeah that's different Friendlies Brigham's I wasn't getting a free sample

I like you if you get a sit-down restaurant I'd like to try the chug This is a restaurant I like to try the burger You zoomers you got at the ice group while you've got little holes in the wall to put your used spoons in there's right next door it's salt and straw lies there's so many jokes here you're gonna make them or do I put nothing else in those holes in the wall These holes of glory To put your spoons in

I do not I do not mess with any of the I don't I don't mess with the salt and straw holes in the wall I put the spoons in there It's cold in there anyways I know I also just went around About how much I do not care for ice cream But I will say the one thing about ice cream now

That is better than then Yes The amount of difference of flavors People are experimenting so much more with flavors And I love ice creams that are like Crazy fun flavors But have we gone too far? Is this a Jurassic Park situation where we've gotten too crazy with our flavors?

I mean, today we even went a little crazy with the flavors. I was going to say this. Zoomers, it's great that you can try the flavors. I think it's a fun part of it. Salt and Straw next door, which maybe we'll do before the end of a twisted month, oh, why? It's next week's episode. It is nice. With Tiana and Sailor, it's next week's episode.

We're doing it next week. Nice. And I did put my dick in one of the holes at the Salt and Straw. We got kicked out for life. It's a little embarrassing, because you have to walk past every time. Hey. I'm just walking by, not going. Hey, buddy, is your debit or credit card boring?

Mine is a snooze. I sure wish I could customize that bad boy and draw whatever I wanted on it. Through the cash app personalization feature. And you know what I put on it? What's that, Lags? A tiger? I probably would put a tiger on there. You read my mind.

head. And Mitch, aloha to you, my good man. Hmm. Jenny's splendid ice cream's official name was founded in Columbus, Ohio in 2002 by Jenny Britton Bauer, about 80 locations nationwide, plus distribution in grocery stores. Previously reviewed in 2023, Mitch, with Lelon

Bowden, where it landed in the Platinum Plate Club. Let's see if it retains its membership today. By pure coincidence, Mitch, I don't know if you remember this. I certainly didn't. On the Jenny's episode, you and I went separately. We each got three scoops, the exact same three flavors. We proclaimed ourselves the Taste Buds, which could have been in an alternate universe the name of doughboys, taste buds.

That's pretty good. If Taste Buds was the name of this podcast, it would not exist right now. I wouldn't be on twisted metal. There's like a million things. You think so? This guy listened to Twist. This guy listened to Do Boys. That's how he knows.

That's how we knew of me. You wouldn't have checked out taste buds. I definitely would not. Taste buds. Who would check out? I think it's a pretty good title. It is a good title. I will say it's a great title.

Taste buds is we would have made seven episodes of taste buds and be like, this sucks. We're not doing this anymore. Taste buds would have been, taste but, no, it's not good. Side of guys was worse. Side of guys was worse. Side of guys would have crashed and burned. That's horrible. Side of Guys did seem like, I don't even know what.

It doesn't seem like a food review podcast. No. Side of Guys never comes out. We record a pilot and that's quietly shelved. Yeah. But we're dough boys. But we're dough boys. We made it.

500 episodes. We're 10 years in instead. On Twisted Monthill. Another 10. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to be here in time for the communal meal. I was thankfully able to get here and have some ice cream with y'all in advance. But just in case, I went on my own. I did a little solo venture over this past weekend.

I got toasted s'mores, double dough, and honey vanilla bean. I believe that toasted s'mores, MJ, you also got today. And then for today's order, I get the goose tracks, the lemon, which I should describe. I'll just speed through the flavors and we'll talk about them individually. Goose tracks, lemon bar, Texas sheet cake. MJ, you got the popcorn brittle, also the goose tracks, the Texas sheet cake, also in the toasted s'mores, as mentioned. Stephanie, pink bubble gum, strawberry pretzel. pretzel pie and watermelon taffy, Mitch, double-dough, strawberry pretzel pie, and

darkest chocolate. Part of the reason you settled on those three flavors, Mitch, and you weren't the only one, was because your top choices were not available. It was a debacle this afternoon, besides the fish clothes, which we've already talked about. There was an ice cream. Wait, what? Your clothes smelled like fish? It felt like fish before I want. And if anyone has any ideas on how to get the smell of fish out of your clothes, please hashtag fish clothes and tell me how to do it, because I don't know what to do. There was also an ice cream debacle.

A lot of flavors. Amelia very bravely went to the store, to the, uh, the Jenny's location to get, to get this, to get this annoying order. So brave of me. It was, well, like, you have to get like four or five Sundays or whatever. It's like, you did a great. That's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it was probably an annoying order to get. It wasn't except for, um, after I realized that there weren't a lot of, uh, the flavors available. That time in between getting your new orders, um, about like, 12. to 15 preteens came in and I had a wait in line behind them and the person helping me at first her shift ended and she didn't tell me so

I was just waiting for her to come back Oh my god What a nightmare Would you like to amend your thing about zoomers Mitch? Well wait am I supposed to like them They fucked everything up with that? Oh yeah you're right Fuck those zoomers

Add on, add on keep going Yeah pile on What were all those preteeat Did you say preteens? Preteens, I'd say. Were they like, you hear the new Doughboys episode? Is that kind of a... It's been better if it was called Taste Buck.

That sucks. Sorry, I did not know that. No, no, it was fine. So I was looking, I was trying to watch the end of Encanto and be like, oh, fuck. I'm immediately like, Stephanie's going to be so mad. I mean, I'm not finishing this movie. And then I was looking at what to get. And then I texted MJ, you emailed that.

I didn't realize that you emailed that. them and I texted both of you I just love that you're watching this movie like come on, come on like looking at the clock, come on I was loving How do what rooms are they going to go in? I was getting emotional, I was looking at the ice cream

score and then I go upstairs, I open my laundry and I had done a load. It smells like fish still, so I put in another four tide pods. I put in four tide pods. So I mean, hopefully sounds like too many. It really smells like fish.

I really don't get. It smells like a loose live fish was in there. It, like, it really does smell a lot like fish. You must have, like, cleaned up cat food or something with a towel that sat in there or something. Like, there's, like, got to be some weird connection somewhere with that. I think it's mil-a-old. I think it's Murman.

I think Murman did it. But so this all goes down, but we all landed on, but I think both of your orders got grosser because of that. So I almost feel bad for Jenny's because you got. I was excited to try the gross. I was excited to try watermelon taffy, which is like, that shouldn't be an ice cream flavor. No. But science has made it so.

And honestly, not even my least favorite of the bunch. No. My least favorite was... That's right. Popcorn. I did. Popcorn brittle. So I was nasty.

When I went to the... Sorry, not to spoil it. No, when I went to the Playa Del Rey location solo, and I taste tested that one because they had it in store. And I was hoping it would be more of like, look, I'm a little bit of popcorn skeptic, but, you know, I'm okay with a sweet corn. I thought it would be more of like a caramel corn or more of a what's the word I'm looking like a kettle corn

even, something with some more latent sweetness but it felt a little bit more like a dare flavor. It didn't taste like popcorn. No, yeah. We were talking about this. It tasted like melted butter. Like you just tasted like when a butter separates from like a sauce and you just get like a whole mouthful of it

or like when you're eating like when you put melted butter on top of popcorn at the theater but you're just like get a handful of that on your hand. You're like, oh, that just got butter. Like that, it didn't taste like the popcorn. The chemical flavor of butter put into like a sweet. I was expecting it to taste more. Sometimes in the theater, I'll just go and get a little cup full of my hand before I go in. Just take a little sip of the popcorn.

I like. Head straight to the salt and straw hole. Your lubrication? Sir, please. You have to leave. I like a buttery. I don't know if. I would like butter-flavored ice cream no matter what.

That is, that to me is... Like a butter pecan can be a lot of fun. Sure, but you don't think of it tasting as straight butter either. I think I was expecting more of like when you eat a, what are they, like a jelly belly that tastes like popcorn. I was expecting that flavor profile. Which is a gross flavor, by the way. I think that's totally gross, but I was expecting that kind of gross.

And I agree with the brittle, I was expecting more of that flavor profile and I didn't get any of that. Yeah. Oh, that's interesting because I did feel like a taste of that jelly, that jelly. Really? Interesting. Yeah. In the sciencey sort of way. In that sciencey kind of way.

Yeah. I'm not a fan of the sciencey. I'm not a fan of the science. I mean, a lot of the times, we talk about this with like diet sodas. A lot of the time the science really comes out. And with this, too, when it's like a full sugar thing, I don't want to taste the science. I don't want to taste the science. The only reason I picked the popcorn was because originally my original flavors were high five bar powdered donut.

and a chocolate one, which I don't remember. It was blackout chocolate cake. Yes, blackout chocolate cake. And I was like, okay, these three flavors are almost too good. I feel like I'm giving Jenny's, like, a free pass here. I need to pick something that's going to even this out. So I pick the gross one. All three of those were not available.

Popcorn was the only one that was in the store. I was like, well, I might as well go with the one that's still in the store. The gross one. The gross one. If I had seen what was available, I never. would have picked the popcorn. Your original order was so much better. Yeah, it looks full better.

I would love to try that powdered jelly done. Me too. They do, Jenny's does do flavors like that. They sent us the everything bagel when they did that one. And that one was... It was a dare flavor.

Yeah. Yeah. I don't mind a dare flavor sometimes, but that does sound weird. It was a, you know, a pint is a lot to commit to a bit. That is a lot to commit. Yeah, yeah.

But the, but I had a taste of popcorn brittle, and that was more than enough for me. Should we start with the other? their missus? Because I feel like watermelon taffy was another one that no one was super excited about. And sciencey and like very, um, Halloween candy. Yeah. Very like glowing kind of. And it should be like, it's not, it wasn't even a sherbet, right? It was like, it should be more of like a, well, it wasn't, to be fair, it wasn't watermelon sherber. It was watermelon taffy. It should, it should have a little more, it should have, it should be more icy. It should be like a little,

it should have more of a sherberty or icy or flavor. You had taffy? I know, I know. Look, you're right. Yeah, I'm right about this. Taff is like gummy and stringy and stretchy and, you know, saltwater Taffy. Like, it's just like not made. What is it even made out of Taffy? I have no idea.

It's just sugar, like, boiled sugar, right? Or something. Yeah. I don't love Taffy. Me either. Bit of a Taffy skeptic. I do like Taffy. What do you go with?

I like a plain, like, saltwater Taffy. Oh, wow. Like a blueberry taffy. Like, I really like Taffy. I do like a watermelon saltwater. I really like taffy. I knew that that watermelon taffy was a stretch. I was like, this is going to be weird, but it was extra weird.

It was so sweet. It was like Laffy Taffy made into ice cream. It wasn't good. It wasn't good. I found it repulsive. Only at one bite, but I didn't care for it. It's not good. Repulsive.

Oh, yeah, it wasn't good. It was not good. Now on the flip, that strawberry pretzel pie. Strawberry pretzel pie, which we didn't realize belonged to Dolly, right? Well, so when that flavor first came out, Dolly Parton, it was like a special Dolly Parton flavor, and I waited in line for like an hour and a half. I was pregnant. I was like, I got to have this.

And we went to Jenny's, waited in line. I got like a commemorative poster that I think I had in the baby's room for a while, like above the baby crib. And then I saw that it came back. It's so good. It's so like. Jennings, if you're listening. It's salty, delicious. Like there's like pieces of the pie crust in there and they've got like a little salt funk on them.

A little bit of salt and the ice cream is so delicious to me. Jenny's, if you're listening. Send me some of that ice cream. Other than one, I taste tested and did enjoy, but I felt like I got the gist of from having it in store, so I didn't commit to a full scoop. But, yeah, it's really fun. It's tasting.

I love salty and sweet. I mean, this is a trite thing to say, but it's like my, I love that combo. It's like hitting different. I mean, the reason so many human beings like it is because it's literally hitting different spots on your tongue. Everything's turning on all at once. And it's like, whoa.

I think that was maybe the bite of the night, I would say. Wow. It was a bite of night. You're kind of salty, but also sweet, wags. Oh, what a thing to say. Yeah. I mean, it wasn't that nice. It was kind of half bad, honestly, but.

Taste buds. That was, I also got a scoop of that. I got darkest, I just, which is an old standby, but I was happy I got it because you guys all tried it. Ross really like that. The, the, the, the, Razz loved it. Yeah. Oh, God. My kid came.

My kid was here. Ross and I bonded up in Toronto. She came into this room and said something very cute, which Emma, if you, uh, you... She looked right at Mitch and went, why do you like spoon so much? Which is adorable.

And she saw my toy. It was great. Mitch, answer the fucking question. Yeah, that's what she said next. I said, it's the easiest utensil to use and I was correct. You just spoon it into your mouth. I did take a bite of, I took a bite of the chocolate. at one point and Ross looked sad and she went, I wanted that bite and I had no idea and I felt like I ruined the entire day. Like deal with it. But Ross loved it. Did you guys try the chocolate? Yeah. I thought it was darkest chocolate. Yeah. I like the darkest chocolate. What is it called? Darkest chocolate. Yes. And I, I enjoy it. I can bring up a description. Because we talked about this. Sometimes chocolate ice cream is disgusting. It's just like nothing. It's like a nothing light brown, nothing flavor. Ugh. Awful.

I like dark chocolates more. Yeah. I am more of a, their, they're milkier chocolate or whatever, or milkiest chocolate, also good. That's also very good. As an adult, I've grown to like chocolate ice cream a lot more. When I was younger, more vanilla, like Wig's or mint chocolate chip. And then now just like some sort of variant of chocolate, which is kind of good chocolate ice cream, though.

Which I try to get, what I try to get was double dough because Wags were the doughboys. That's right. Cute. Did you not get double dough? I did get double dough. And I thought that it was the gooey, I thought it was the gooeyest. butter, whatever. Goey butter cake, which is a great flavor.

Very good. Yes. And the double dough was very, very good. I don't know if you had a bite of it. I think I did have a bite of it. I was telling everyone it was the gooey butter cake, but I was wrong. What makes it double dough? It's just like extra.

Yeah, there was. I have the description right here. It's chocolate chip cookie dough swirled into a buttery brown sugar custard. Tastes like cookie dough with a side of cookie dough. It is a very good flavor that I've had before. It's very sweet. It was very sweet. And the darkest chocolate, all of the whole menu descriptions,

as packed with fair trade, cocoa, and not much else. So it really is just like a dark chocolate ice cream. But it's straight ahead and well executed. Powder jelly donut. I'm reading the description right here. I know. Vanilla custard raspberry jelly and a brown sugar donut crumble. That some bitch sounds tasty.

Yeah. Really good. I also got a full. I said to Amelia afterwards, like, could you get like an extra scoop of that so we can all try? And then it just wasn't in the cards. It wasn't in the cards. I also got a, I ordered a Boston cream pie. ice cream

and that wasn't there either which I thought could be it's my roots I thought I could be fun to try that wise Yeah you're kind of a Boston cream guy I am kind of a Boston cream guy I don't know what you mean by that but I am

Hey spuds don't bite Those all are Orderable on their website Yes yes So we went to one of their Their scoop shops Which sometimes have different menus

They rotate things out seasonally so you can't always one-to-one game plan what's going to be there. Did the one you went to, was the menu more or less similar to today's, or was it like, I didn't see the full menu for where we ordered from today, but it felt like there was a good amount of overlap, perhaps with a couple of variants. But, yeah, I mean, like, mostly what was available there was what we were able to select from today. They did have the honey vanilla bean was one flavor I got, which was, like,

I'm a big vanilla advocate. Vanilla is a flavor. Vanilla advocate. Yeah. It's not plain. It's a flavor. It's an exotic bean. But this one has just like a little bit of honey to it.

During the L.A. protests when everyone was protesting ice swig's had vanilla as a flavor. Vanilla advocate. Next to abolish ice signs. Just one vanilla is a flavor sign. Sir, your protest is across the street. I also had the goose tree. Oh, I got that too.

Fragrant and lush blackberry and raspberry ice cream with a clash of bittersweet chocolate chips are co-lab flavor with goose. Does anyone know what's goose is? That's what I want to know. I guess what is goose? I shouldn't say,

who is goose? What is goose? What is goose? Emma is just typing goose into Google AI. Goose tracks? It just has flavor. It just is goose. Maybe search goose company. I have no idea.

I have no idea. Goose. It's a band. Oh, it's a band. I was wondering why this flavor rocks. Just kidding, I did not care for it. It was a little medicine. I thought it wasn't good.

I thought it was like really tart. Yeah, I mean, like I just kind of got. Maybe they're a really bad band. I didn't try it. I like the mix-ins, but I thought that was nice from a textural standpoint, but I did think the core, it's sometimes the danger with a sort of berry, you know, ice cream is it tasted a little bit medicine. that's kind of what I was getting from it. Yeah, I agree. But I did really like my dairy-free flavors, which I got, which was lemon bar,

a punchy lemon curd, short-bred crust, and rich coconut cream, and Texas Cheat Cake, decadent chocolate cake, crumbles, bittersweet fudge, and palate-gripping cocoa. That one would have tricked me. I would have thought it had dairy in it. Mitch, you thought it was a little too coconut-y for you. The lemon bar- You have? E-ha, for me, right?

I loved it. I loved the Texas Cheatcake. I thought it was delightful. I agree. I did not realize that was dairy-free. Yeah. And the lemon bar. I thought some of the shortbread crust did taste a little Play-Dohy,

but not even an unpleasant way. I thought those were both hits for me. I didn't try any of your ice creams. I realized, no. I didn't get to try. Well, you had the Texas sheet cake off of M.G., right? I did try the Texas sheet cake. Just a little too cold.

And the goose tracks. Did you try? I did have the, I did have the goose tracks. And I thought the goose tracks was just okay. It was just okay. Yeah. The Texas sheet cake, I thought, was I actually liked more than the darkest chocolate, which I also forgot.

I thought it was, I liked the variety of flavor within it. Yeah. And I did not realize it was dairy free, which the D.F should have given it away for me. Yeah. Yeah. But I thought it was just really tasty. I didn't really get the coconuty flavor of it. I wouldn't have known.

I thought the D.F. meant a ducy free. So you were disappointed. You want that at every flavor. Yeah, you want that at every flavor. Yeah, you want that at every flavor. She gave me the look again that I sucked. Sometimes on set, sometimes on set, I would do it during the take. I'd be like, she's making you better, Mitch.

Yeah. There is. You're going to do it like that? There is a thing where, I mean, big mistake, I hung out with Mackey the night before, and I got two hours of sleep. And there was a, and I was very, I was very, I had plenty of rest most of the shoot, the way. I was getting eight hours of sleep most nights.

I know which day we didn't use a lot of your takes. A day where I was doing, I was really going all out and saying like, I was doing things about working out. That was a very funny day. And I felt you staring at me for a lot of those takes. I deserve it a lot of the time. I don't think that was the day,

I think that was the day where the network was like, Stephanie's reactions are so funny. When was, what, what, that's when we were, we were in, the truck. In the truck. Yeah, yeah. Oh, you were struggling.

You were struggling. I knew once it clicked, you would know what was happening. It was a funny day. That was so fun. That was a good day. That's why I really, I don't. And I've learned this from multiple older actors, but they're like, I don't drink when I'm working. I never, I never, ever, ever.

ever do, really? Except for that one time. It was truly, I think, the only night that we were filming that I had. I'd say a very important day. It was fine. Honestly, huge day for me. Such a bad day to do it. I went home.

I had about four hours to sleep, and I spent two of those drunkenly rehearsing, walking around. Oh, God! But in the end, we got it, right? It comes together great. It's a much shorter scene. you were staring into my soul that day definitely crushed it you were great too to be clear you're great well it was that annoying thing that I like then like Mackey did do like a monologue that I was like I don't think he slept at all and he did like a great

monologue after he turns it on man Anthony turns it on he's incredibly gifted that way as are you you're and I've said this in season one but such a great actor and so nice to Everyone in the cast and crew and just a true leader and I think that a set is as good as the main stars of the show. And I think that you lead by example and you're so awesome. It was so fun to be around all of you guys. I like class. And I think every single person who shot, oh, everyone who was new this year felt the same exact way. So that's the truth.

And MJ, same for you, you're a genius. And I was going to say that to the end. It is the truth. And you wrote such a good show, and I think people are very excited. It's going to be very excited to see it. It was a dream. It feels like a fever dream. Back to goose tracks, which I kept, wait, is it goose track?

I keep on to call it goose steps. I keep on to call it. Because of this fucking world we're in. Wow, yeah. The biggest goose of them all, a commander and goose. Squawk, squawk. Thank you for not staring me down. Gendering goose made me laugh.

He wishes he looked like a goose. God. I, yeah, I don't know, I, and part of me it's like, maybe it's because of the, I mean, I feel like you guys picked better flavors. I don't even know if we can take your vote. What do you mean? You don't like ice cream that much. I can still enjoy what I'm eating. Wait, what did you think of the toasted s'm eating?

I liked that. I liked that. I thought that was good. I did like it. I kind of was like, should this be a chocolate base? Ooh, you're not wrong. Because I kind of felt like the chocolate was a little bit understated from what I know of for, as being a smo. I still liked it.

But I just like in terms of delivering on the promise of the premise. I agree. I feel like I've had better of that flavor because it's like, when I think of a toast that's more, I'm like, I want to feel more of the marshmallow. I want to feel more of the cracker. I want to feel more of the chocolate. I liked it for what it was. It was very yummy. There was a little science going on in that, but not too the, I mean, watermelon taffy blinded my taste buds with science.

It was like so bad. But the, but the, but the. You were like, ha! But the s'mores, there's like a little, there's a little something in there that makes it taste like smorey, I felt like that. Yeah. It was ironically a subtle, more subtle flavor I was expecting.

Yeah, I kind of wish it was like a, what if it was like a chocolate marshmallow ice cream swirl? Yeah. Right. Like a mix of the two. You know what I mean? That would be better, I think. I still like that.

And I will say the three flavors, the tri-force I got what I went on my own, Toasted smores, double dough, honey vanilla bean. Toasted smores was the worst of flavors, and I still really liked it. Double dough is a home run. Honey vanilla bean was delightful. And I also got a, I got it a waffle cone, which was great. A little bit of, it was a hot day, a little bit of hand drip, which is not ideal. Yeah.

Don't you know. It's not getting on my hand. You're fine with it just getting on there? No, I don't like it. Yeah, yeah. I don't mean neither. So that was a little bit of an obstacle, but despite that, I still really enjoyed it. Licking your fucking.

You do make those waffle cones fresh there every day. They've got a little batter thing and they pour them out and they shape them. I will say it was a nice touch that all of ours had a little waffle piece on top. I liked having a little bite of that. I thought that was tasty. I'll tell you one thing I did not like. Your bubble gum ice cream, the flavor is not bad, but there need to be little pieces of bubble gum. Or candy, like little pieces of bubble gum candy that you chewed and it disappeared or something.

Yeah, that's what that's that's that old school, when you're, you were a kid the hard pieces of bubble gum that you would like break your teeth on and then chew chew chew chew chew chew chew chew and then they'd be hard and weird but then wouldn't you just be eating bubble gum you kind of are but you kind of are but you're eating ice cream sometimes so it feels like the eyeballs and like the sponge bob or the sonic were always like gumballs well that's fun we're talking like true bubble gum ice cream like like yes like yes yeah with the little bubble gum chips in there which felt like you were getting a two for one because you're like having ice cream, but also having candy.

And the flavor is, this was like a piece of, like, pink bubble gum. I tasted just like that. But bubble gum ice cream tastes different. It tastes like kind of frugier and not exactly. This was like, this is like bubble gum in ice cream form. Yes. It was not. It was not as good.

I didn't care for it, but I also just don't like the flavor of bubble gum in general. So like, you know, this was just wasn't going to be for me. Like, like, even the, the Baskin-Robbins version execution of I was like never into. Really? Yeah, yeah. I'm in agreement there. I'm not a big bubble gum flavor fan. Yeah.

Did you know, we talked about this at a certain point. I feel like, I don't know you. Major League chew, the gum that's like chewing tobacco. Like the majors. Yeah, Big League chew. Big League chew. Thank you. Thank you for the correction.

Big League Chew. I love it. Was co-invented by a young Todd Field who would go on to direct the movie Tar. that's right yeah very like before he was an actor before he was in you know uh eyes wide shut and then went on to direct in the bedroom and what's his what's his middle film i can't ball the title right now uh yeah in the bathroom and then while he's in the bathroom he's making tar it's a trilogy um yeah he was i was like

what a ridiculous like that's crazy isn't that a life can encompass both be like directing tar and inventing major major league two she should have put a big lip of big league chew in at the end tar. You're a big tar head. I love tar. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great movie. She shouldn't have got canceled.

Lydia Tar, the fictional character? Yeah, Lydia Tar shouldn't have got Taylor. She should have nothing wrong. Are there any flavors we haven't covered? No, I hope so. I have to ask this before we get to our final thoughts because we are covering ice cream this whole month and as part of Twisted Month, of course, an ice cream truck featuring so prominently in the series.

is the kind of the first thing you'd think of Wags and I went with that's what we're doing for the full month Well what else do you do like pretzel month you know It's like I think it's it is twisted Wow that's really clever actually Well guess what MJ we're doing it for a double I mean we were like twisted We've been thinking of like twisted doubles

And we're like people who died from eating Like we don't know what to do But we're gonna figure it out Doge Boys operates on a principle of first pitch in the room. Can't get better than this. Richard the clerk is going to be the first guest on the double. How fun is that? That's great.

He's great. So the, but since we are covering ice cream, I really like Jennings, but what has surpassed it in terms of like, I want to go and get ice cream right now. I want a sweet treat for myself, not for content, just because this is what I'm craving. Now I go to Handles. Handles has become my number one. I'm curious, MJ, I know you're a skeptic in general, so maybe I don't know if you have a take. I can share the ice cream place that we go to. Yeah, go for it.

But you can, others can go first. Have you had handles? I have not had handles. Wow, I'd be really curious your take. What is it? Where is it? What makes it so great? There is one not too far from Headroom Studios.

Okay. But it is like, it has both the Jenny's side of, you know, like, fancy or elevated flavors. But it also, you can just get like straight ahead, like vanilla. mint chip straw like just like the classic flavors it's all at a very high level of execution it doesn't have the feel of like a gentrified parlor

that you go to like a salt and straw and it's like you know it's a little fancy or it's a little bit more expensive it feels like a like a classic sort of working class like ice cream of the people it feels almost like a soda fountain ice cream shop it feels a little frozen in time in a good way I love that and also they have a version

of the blizzard called the hurricane that is so much better than a dairy queen blizzard it blows my fucking mind I mean I love a dairy queen blizzard Yeah, you would love, you guys would love handles. Where does this you try? Love handles. That's funny.

Oh, that is funny. It's, uh, it's, it's, it's, it's right near the vista theater. Right across from home state. There you go. There you go in there. It's just a counter and usually, you know, like a, not the crazy line. And, uh, I'm going to try it. It's great.

I went to the, I went to the culver one and a woman was walking out and she just said, this is the best ice cream. Like, just to me, just to a stranger. Oh, thank you. Oh, that's so cute. That's great. Oh, that's community. Yeah, a lot of fun.

I like this lady. Who is this? Sign her on Raya. Raya, Raya. El Fanning. Bitch's girlfriend is 70. I was in Gelson's one time, and I saw, this is way back in the day, La Poo Bell, which I don't go do anymore. It's been a canceled bar.

That is the truth. They wrote in support of Danny Masterson The La Poubelle did as an establishment So I don't go into La Poubell anymore But I saw the La Puebele waitress at Gelson's And I'm waving at the La Poubelle The waitress slash she works at the bar I'm just waving at her

I'm like she's not waving back of me That's weird I go to my car and I'm like Is that was that the La Puebele waitress And then I Google and it was El Fanning And so some big fat guys just looking at her going Hi. Hi.

Not responding to me. I'm just waving at her. And I'm like, I was like, hmm. And then realized, yeah, it was L. Fanning. Wow. Amazing. Yeah. Yep.

She seemed nice. I mean, I think she maybe thought I was waving at someone else. She didn't wave back at her, which is the right move. She has no idea who I am. But I, uh, I can, I felt like a true fool, wags. Jenny's is also great. Where does it land on the fork scale? MJ Stephanie, you both did on the podcast before.

We will each go around, give our closing arguments on this chain and give it a score from zero to five spoons, perhaps, for ice cream. I like it. Wait, hold on a second. This is twisted month or wise. So zero to five spoons. Well, I don't know. Next week we might be ranking it out of,

of uh something different out of something different we've ranked it out of ice cream trucks yeah i remember but i was gonna like remember the chronological release and let that happen organically when it does but if you want to retcon it to we're doing ice cream trucks we can do that we could do something from from the like axle wheels or or or or quiet missing fingers no not missing fingers damn it you mean support of me i give it uh nothing out of nothing I can't see the number. Quiet. Quiet hatchets or stew headbands.

We could do anything we want. Oh, your blasted headband. My great headband. One of my favorite costume pieces for you. I love the headband. They, well, you'll like this. The headband, of course, is too small for my head. Yeah, sure.

And the wardrobe people are like stretching it out like on a pumpkin, basically. They're like, uh. I don't know. I was like, you're on a TV show. You can ask for a headband that fits you, bro. Like, go over there and ask them, no, I don't want to be. And, you know, I told. You were, this is what I'm saying.

You're a leader. You were telling me what to do. The top half of my head was blue, basically. And then, uh, I know, we get it. I said, no, the small one's better. I told Liz, I was like, his headband's too tight. She was like, it is? I was like, yeah, his headband's too tight.

Can you guys make it bigger for him? She's like, and then they did. And they did make it. They made it better because they were also like, we're trying to get your new headband And, like, they're physically, like, is not a bigger headband that can fit your head. We got you a belt from a karate glee. If you can stretch this out enough, fit around your big fucking melon. You use some of the old bombardier equipment to stretch it.

We put it around the top of a sparklet's cooler. I was to stretch it out. We got a jet seat belt. I'm getting a pin in red. Anyways, I ended up wearing a red hula hoop on my head from the rest of the show. Can't even tell. You can't tell. You can sometimes hear the beans.

moving around. It doesn't help that you constantly do this. So I wanted to see if our guests had anything a fun thing to, because we're getting close. We have an out here, Wags. Yeah, I know. I like the headbands. Two to five. Two to five, two headbands. How about that?

I love it. MJ will start with you. Your thoughts, your fork score on Jenny's. Do you not want to go first? We can have... Let's have you go first. All right, Stephanie, do you want to set a baseline? Let's see here. And I get to ruin it. Or I can go first, too, if that's helpful. Okay.

So, no, I'll go. Okay, great, great. You got it? I will, I, Jenny's is catering to, I think, families, first and foremost. It is a place where you can go and sit down with your kids and have some ice cream. So I think in that way, their sciencey flavors are hitting because those are flavors that Roz was like, gobbling them up. For me, personally, when they do it well, they really, really do it well, like that strawberry. Bray pretzel pie, phenomenal, phenomenal, phenomenal.

The double dough. Yes, yeah. Delicious. Great way. The darkest chocolate? Yeah, yeah. Delightful. Truly.

I mean, if I had three scoops of those in a bowl with one of those triangular waffle crisps next to it, I'd be a very happy lady. So I'm going to go ahead and give it four and a half, four and a quarter. Can I do a quarter? Wow, yeah, four and a quarter headbands. Wow. A good score. Because I do think it is really, really, really.

delicious when it hits. And if I went there with my kids, she wouldn't be like, oh, all they have is brambleberry crisp. I wanted bubble gum. You know what I mean? Right, right. Yeah. MJ, your thoughts your, your headband score. Variety of flavors it should get some headbands for. Yeah. That there were enough flavors for everyone to get something that they liked. I thought that the flavors that I liked the most, I thought were solid, but weren't like blown away by like I liked the toasted s'mores but I wasn't like whoa this is the best version of this Texas sheet cake I thought was really good yeah uh but like obviously I'm just not gonna count the popcorn one because that I got to bring down the points so I will not because

if I was there on my own I would not get that so I don't think it's fair to like score that one I thought the other I think the strawberry if I was going to go by myself and get at one flavor, I would have picked the pretzel one, and that was a home run. That one was the best bite I had. So I feel like, overall, I would give it for four headbands. Wow.

Wow, very good score. What do we think, sweet man? Wiggs, call me Forrest Gump, because I love Janais. What'd you think of that one? What'd you think? I did like it. You think of that scene where they're running. running across the, at the Washington Mall.

Yes. Oh, yeah. I love that scene so much. It's a beautiful. Forest. And then they run and they hug and all the hippies like scream. I love that. I, I, I, I, there's been a lot of people.

Based on Robin Wright and Tom Hanks' performance. Yes. I give you the laugh. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that. You didn't have to give me that whole side of it, but I, and also it was horrible. Thank you for pretending, all of you for pretending to like it.

and like me in general. You can make that joke next to me if you won't. Thank you. I wanted to hold your hand there because I... Thank you. There's a lot of things you can do with ice cream. Oh, no. Oh, no.

You can scoop it. That's kind of it. Ice cream sandwich, ice cream Sunday, ice cream scoop. Two scoos, three scoops, root beer float. I do love Jenys. Yeah. I think that it's, I love handles for what it is and what Jenys is trying to do. I think that they are very good at it.

I think they have misses a lot of the time. Sure. I do wish that they maybe had some more like regular flavors, but that's not what they're trying to do there. And I don't, even though it is a fancy ice cream place, for whatever reason, it doesn't. Salt and Straw used to bother me more. I felt Salt and Star was more pretentious at one point. Jenny's has never bothered me with their, it hasn't felt pretentious in there. It's like, it's very well lit.

I do like a darker ice cream spot. I mean, I like darker. I like to go and sneak my food. But it does feel very clean in there. I think what they're doing is good, Wags, and the darkest chocolate is good as hell. All the flavors that I like, I don't only like them. I love them. and so

I got to go what it took to make my actual headband five full headband You go all right to five I like I love Jenny's Jenny's to me like it's for me it's

it's you really got me that was a good one you want her back thank God handles and jennies are like my two faves

and I've come around on salt and straw look all of these places if you're doing it the right way at them, I think, are good. And the gooey buttercake, which we didn't even have is so good. I heard that's their best flavor. It's so good. I'm surprised we didn't get it. I almost got it, but I got double dough instead because it was a limited time flavor. But the ones that they do well, they really do well. They try some weird ones that don't work. But overall, it's a five headbanner for me, Wags. It was five headbands, Mitch, for both of us

last time we reviewed it. And I really still like Jenny's quite a bit. A gooey butter cake I brought up, cream cheese, ice cream layered with crumbles of vanilla cake and a swirl of caramel buttercotch sauce. It is a home run. It is a delight. I think they're best.

I'm pretty sure did I do that Jenny's joke on the last episode? There's probably. Yeah, I was good. Yes. You say it on next week's episode. Oh, I did? Yes, you do. Is that, I say it on next week's episode?

Mitch, here's what happened. You say it on next week's episode. I knew you're going to have it. in your head. So I say on next week's episode, if you like that joke, Mitch said it on last week's episode, predicting that you would do exactly what you did. Fucking Brainiac over here remembers everything.

I see the statistics. Oh, wait, that's a leader. Oh, man, that's so funny. Good call, Oggs, you were right. I loved it. I liked it both times. It's a good joke. It's a good joke. I forget stuff. I forget stuff all the time,

including lines, as you know. I'm like Luther up there with Ultraman A1, B7, D-11 Anthony Carrigan great in the new Superman He is great, he is great, I thought it was so fun. He was great. I think Jenny's best flavors are fantastic. I do really like it as a concept.

I think the only reason my fork score, or sorry, my headband score is going to duck down a little beyond where it was last time is because now just for me, handles as the bar. And I just don't like Jenny's at its highest heights quite as much as I like handles. They can live side by side, but they can coexist. They can peacefully coexist. But if I'm going to rank them,

I would put handles as a five spooner. And as far as our headbands for today, four and a half for Jennings, which means Jennings, it remains in the Golden Plate Club. How about that? I also like, as an addendum. Yeah. You can order Jennies to be delivered nationwide?

Oh, yes, it does ship. Yes, it's true. That's huge. That's huge. Because if you live in a town where your ice cream flavors are, it's slim pickings, but you want to experience this, you can experience it. You cannot have it delivered to you, which is, there's nothing like that when I was a kid. 100%.

That was unheard of. And they're heavy hitters. It's mostly their heavy hitters that you can get delivered to you. It's pretty cool. What is it twisted, it made the twisted, it made the, it, we don't. We don't have to, we don't have to do this forever. In the golden plate. It's the twisted treat club.

How's that? Sure. Perfect. Hey, let's do a segment. We've got, for Twisted Monthel, a slop quiz, twisted trivia that Amelia compiled. Mitch 70MJ will be asked twisted related trivia and to make it even more twisted. Each question comes with a chance to earn a bonus point. What a twisted element.

It's so sick. All right. A room of psychopaths. It's not about the show. It's about stuff that is twisted. MJ is just going to destroy us. No, this is not deep lore about the twisted metal canon.

This is about stuff that is twisted and food related for the most part. First up. And buzzin with your name. And first up, this malt-based beverage debuted in 2001 and is produced by a company based in Massachusetts. What is it?

Mitch. 2001? Yeah. Malt-based beverage. debuted in Massachusetts. This malt-based beverage debuted in 2001 is produced by a company

based in Massachusetts. What is it? You just wanted to repeat the question? I was so... But I mean, I'm just wrong, so I got scared and I wanted to back out. Got it.

So you're not answering? Okay. Does someone else want to buzz in? Malt-based beverage. In Massachusetts? 2000. And you said the year was 2001. Malt Base.

And it's a beverage. Beverage. Massachusetts? I should know this, shouldn't I? Not necessarily. I didn't know this is from Massachusetts. Oh, MJ. Yeah, go forward.

Fribble? It's not fribble. What the fuck is frivol? Fribble's a friendlies shake, basically. Let me give you, let me give a little bit of guidance here. Malt base does not necessarily refer to the malt dessert. Malt is a different context here. It's like a beer or something probably.

Oh. I was just thrown off by malt liquor, the etymology of that. I'm not sure what makes it malt, but... Do you have a guess? No. 2001. The malt-based beverage from Massachusetts. It's a joke.

Mitch, twisted tea. Mitch, it is twisted tea. You get a point. Does it have the word twisted in it? It does have twisted in it. Amelia, can you keep a score over there? Mitch has a point. Bonus point.

Can you guess its slogan? Anyone? Mitch. Yeah. Keep it twisted. Mitch, you get a bonus point. Wow. Two on the board.

Did you just guess that? No, I knew it. Next up. Which popular vodka brand released a line called Twisted with flavors like green apple and orange? Mitch. Yes. Absolute. Not absolute.

Stephanie. Go for it. Smyranoff? It is Smearnoff. You've got a point. Stuffy's on the board. Bonus, can you name any other flavors? What were they?

You said. The ones that are cited here are green apple and orange. So I guess any other flavor I know on. Are you buzzing in? Oh, can I? I heard Stephanie. Cherry is correct Among their myriad flavors.

Mitch Raspberry. No, you don't get it. No, you don't get it. She already got it. This is for fun. Was it raspberry one? Was it raspberry one of them? Resbury is one of them.

Fuck. M.J. want to try one? Ice. Ice is not on here. Fuck. Fuck ice. Fuck ice.

Fuck ice. Fuck ice. Fuck ice. Nice. Next question. In July 2000, the soda company released a limited edition flavor twist, a lemon lime version of the original. 2000 so, 2000 twist version. Yes. Wait. Okay. Sprite. Mitch. It is not Sprite. Fuck. A lemon lime version of a soda released in 2000, July of 2000. I think I know what it is and I fucked up. I went too early. Yeah. Well.

I'm in line. Anyone else? Is it just Coke? It's not Coke. Stephanie. Is it a Mountain Dew? It's not Mountain Dew. It is, I actually remember this one, Pepsi Twist.

Oh, yeah. Bonus points. Can anyone this was started in 2000, can you guess the year it was discontinued? We'll read that in the copy. Mitch. Yeah. 2001. No, not 2001.

Last longer than that. Quick life. MJ, 2003. Nope. Stephanie, 2002. No, it was 2006. I can't believe it hung out for that long. People loved it.

How the fuck were you supposed to know that? Well into W. second turns. All right, next up, true or false. Wendy's periodically offers a pretzel bacon cheeseburger on their menu composed of a beef patty bacon, monster cheese, beer cheese, and a soft pretzel bun. Oh, this is just a true or false question? Mitch.

True. Yeah, it's true. Yeah. I didn't know that. I thought it was hard. I think we had the brentzel bacon juice burgers previously. This was an unfair You don't have to even give me a point for that. Let's see if I can get the bonus.

Okay, let's see if anyone can get the bonus point. Bonus question. What year was it last on the menu? Mitch? It was in... Yeah, because it was in... I thought it was. Toronto, wasn't? Mitch.

I'm sorry, MJ. Bonus point! Shit. I don't know the answer. I just like saying his name. You can guess it. I'm just used to yelling. 2003. No, it was later than that.

Later than 2000. Oh, no, sorry, I'm in 2023. I'll give it to you, 2023, because I think that's what you met. All right. Hey, I'm on the board. You got Mitch is three, Stephanie two, MJ one. Yeah. Next step.

You're wrong. Name a twisted pasta shape that looks like a spiral. Anyone can buzz in. Mitch You can go because I don't know Fusili Fusili is correct Fusili Jerry

You get Oh I love one Classic Seinfeld Yeah Bonus points Name a second one Anyone can buzz in Uh

Fuck What is the one I'm thinking of I don't know Mitch No it's not It's not it Tortolini It's not tortellini

It's not tortellini Fuck Oh what the fuck is it called I'm so pissed off. I say they're all, I only know two of these. Two others I've never heard of. Amelia, have you heard of all of these?

Not all of them, but some. Okay. Wait, which ones? I can see it in my mind. I just don't know the name of it. I know the first three that I listed. You know the third one. Mitch, I've never heard of that.

She's Italian. I know. Uh, uh, noodle. Can we give him noodle? No. What? No. Okay.

The other option, MJDA, you want to wait your guess? The other ones are Rotini. Rotini. Jemeli, which I don't know Jemeli. I just looked it up. I think you'd know it if you saw it. Okay, I don't know, don't know it by name. Tretole and Kavatapi.

I do know Kavatapi. I'm going to have to make Jemmy some Jemeli. What's the score? That's cute. What's the score? MJ1, Stephanie 3, Mitch 3, but I'm including the true or false one. Yeah, I'd still want it. I'll keep it.

I'll keep it. Okay, great. We have one more in a possible tiebreaker. Next one, from Russia with Buzz, Monkey Wrench and Jerry's Jubilee are all flavors from this company's two twisted series. Wait, what? From Russia with Buzz, Monkey Wrench, and Jerry's Jubilee are all flavors from this company's. Ben and Jerry? It is Ben and Jerry's.

I'm doing it's a point. Bonus question. As part of the two twisted series, this cookie dough and brownie hybrid went on to be a staple flavor of Ben and Jerry's. I know. Sorry. No. I kind of want to go into sudden death. Did you know it? No. Oh, you know it. Do I know it? You know the answer to this one. I don't think I know the answer to it. Want to read the question? As part of the two twisted series, this cookie dough and brownie hybrid went on to be a staple of Ben and Jerry's. I will do it if no one knows it. Yeah, do it. Half baked. Mitch, it is correct. And I believe that means you win. Wow.

Slop quiz, twisted trivia. Thank you. You're the most twisted. I wanted it too much. and got embarrassed at the end. Well, if we take away that true false, we could do the tiebreaker. All right, let's do the tiebreaker. The tiebreaker is... The true or false shouldn't count. The tiebreaker is about twisted metal. The first twisted metal video game was developed for PlayStation by Sony Interactive Studios

America and single track in what year. This is a tough one to pick the specific year. I'm going to guess. I have a guess and I'm going to be wrong. Mitch. Oh, do you want to, do you want to guess? You can guess first. You want me to guess first?

1994? No, it's not 94. Damn it. Well, you know, I mean, this is the PlayStation 1 area. You're right in there. I know the answer. I know you know the answer. I'm trying to get you to tell me the answer with your eyeballs.

What do you guess? I guess 94. I think it's 95. It is 95, so which means Stephanie wins. There you go. She can't say that true, false one. Damn it. Just like a rest rate by your feedback.

Let's up the feedback. so Mitch you this was a thing for this month you said we should get twisted questions and I said that was a bad idea that's right and I was right yes because most of the questions were utterly depraved I did not pick one of those but I bit I did pick one that actually I think is uh is pretty good are gross I'm like I can pull I can pull I can pull like I didn't want to read it what was one no I mean I mean I I said this before the show, but I did Stavros's podcast, and I was, like, afraid on the podcast. I said, I said, I said, I said pussy, and I was afraid even, I was like, pussy, and I was afraid to say it. And our, our listeners are fucking disgusting. It doesn't matter what you do.

There's no chance you said something on that show grosser than what our listeners email us. Yeah, they're fucking disgusting. Why do I care at all ever? I'm not, I shouldn't be afraid of this stuff. I didn't ask for a twisted question. Here is a question we're not, like, again, I'm vindicated by this. I said, I said, we shouldn't do this, but you're like, let's try it. We're not answering this question.

Adam writes, would you rather be fucked by a horse and no one know or not be fucked by a horse and everyone thinks you were? I think that's a great question. Thanks, Adam. I saw that come in and I literally was like, we maybe shouldn't do this. Wait, wait, can you repeat the question? We're not going to answer this. This is quick. Would you rather be fucked by a horse and no one know or not be fucked by a horse and everyone thinks you were?

Oh, that's funny. I mean, it's pretty straightforward for me. But we're not answering this one. Today's actual email, the one we got... Wait, we're not going to answer it? No, we're not going to answer it. The twisted email we got that actually is quite good. Can I take a combo of both?

I get fucked by horse and everyone knows it. You just want the Mr. Hands outcome? Today's email's from Jay N-write. Jay writes, Hello, Dofam. I was wondering about your process. when acting in or adapting a project based on a video game that didn't necessarily have a ton

of lore to draw from. Do you lean more in the writing to flesh out the characters? Do you have the freedom to sort of make the characters your own? Thanks, been listening ever since your appearance on how did this get made back in the day. Wow. That's nice. Look at that. You guys can handle this way more than me. Yeah, I mean, that's kind of

the challenge of adapting twisted metal, which I think people think of it's so iconic and, you know, know so much about or have some general ideas about but maybe like the lore is not as deeply entrenched into even people who really like the game so it's like

it's both a challenge but also like kind of like a benefit right because you get to have some fun with it oh totally I mean what you do you do a great you and the writers did a great job with that in the series I mean first of all we have an amazing group of writers many of which you know and we're friends with and I think like for me coming at

adapting something like this, we are totally freed that we do not have to stick to like a story that people are expecting, which is great. I think like what I really wanted to adapt is the feeling of playing the game. I love the game. I grew up playing the game. So I really want to capture like how fucking fun it is to play that game, how it like irreverent it is and how fun it is to like play with your friends and get that like one missile off at the last moment and blow up your friend and drive through the car. Like it's just such a fucking fun game. And just wanted to capture that feeling at everything, not just the action, but with the comedy, with the moments. And then ultimately, like, when you're playing that game, it starts with you picking a character, and you are playing that character all the way through.

And, like, you kind of learn about that character and their backstory and, like, what they're wishing for. And because everyone has a wish, you ultimately, they all have a drive. They have a reason for why they, like, want to win. And, like, even though, and in our show, you have to care. about every character. You have to care about Quiet and Stu, I guess. And I think, like, that's super important in our show to, like, care about every single character, even the bad guys, to, like, really want to love them and understand them. And I think there's an amazing moment in the show with, with where you're just like, oh my God, I can't believe I'm reading for these guys. And I'm like,

but I want John and Quiet to win. Like, what is going to why, like, you're torn there. And I think that's what's so great about the show is there's so much heart in our show because you care about everyone, despite the fact that they're all going to blow each other up and you never know, like, how far these characters are going to go. And because it's a tournament, they're not all going to survive. So I think it's really tricky to adapt that. And I think ultimately, the end goal of our show at the end of the day is we just want you guys to have fun watching it. It's like a really fun show. And I think that's what, at least from my part, is to adapt that. Like, to adapt just the fun and make you laugh, make you love these characters, make you maybe,

tear up and an unexpected thing. Last season, you tear it up at a car blowing up. This season, we're going to get you with a different thing, I hope. So I think that's ultimately what I'm trying to do. You wouldn't, like, write a character dying just because the actor maybe had fishy smelling clothes. Right? The main reason to write someone off a series, I would think. No, you know what's great?

We're not done with post just yet, so. But yeah, I don't know. I hope that answer is my part of it, but I don't know, but you guys, sorry. You guys. I can't, I'll let you answer last because you'll have a better answer. answer than me. I came, when I auditioned for this show, I did, I read a tape first with

Mookie, I read with Mookie, and then Mookie Bets? Uh, no. Incredible! He's swinging a bat. Swinging as bad as he was reading the lines to me. Uh, no, it was, it was a Mookie Blake Clock who are a good buddy, and then and then when I did the callback, it was in your hotel room in Nashville.

That's what it was. Yeah. That's what it was. And I, uh, I got in texts from Alexis Louder who I worked on Tomorrow War with, and she said, congrats. And I was like, what are you talking about? And I didn't know that I had the part, but I then found out that I was the only one reading for Stu, which I didn't know, which was very exciting. Which, by the way, secretly, I wrote the part for you.

Like, I imagined someone like you to be, even the writer, you could ask Sean distant. Like, I very much was, like, always imagining someone like you. Because, honestly, quite frankly, because of listening to this podcast, you're such an everyman, which is great, and you're an underdog, and that's what I wanted Stu to be. That's very kind. Because I very much imagined Stu and Mike to be in season one, rest in peace, to be like the Rosencranton, Gildenstern of the world. Yeah.

Anyway, Taj, who's great. I love Taj. We're hopefully going to get Taj in at some point. But he lives in, he's in Alabama. I love Taj, a great guy. We had a lot of fun on season one with Taj. I looked at the character online and I, and it was.

And then you did tell me like, I want you to be yourself, basically, is what you said. But I did research Mike and Stu, and I was watching, like, their stories. I don't know if you watched the twisted metal endings. I watched a bunch of endings. And I was trying to like, and Stu is just kind of a dumb man. And so I was like, okay. And so then I was done with my research. I was like, okay, I'm done.

I did it. Okay, Amelia. Pretty good. I went gnar on the role. That is true. But, no. And we're just watching the. We were like, oh, my God, he's brilliant.

No, unreal. No, I had a blast. And then I was so excited when I saw that. You were in the show. And then when I went, and it wasn't until New Orleans in my first wardrobe fitting that I saw, you know, like Samoa Joe on the wall and stuff like that. And, like, all these people that were involved with it. And it was, it was great. But I did some research in it, but you wrote it in a way that felt like me and it was easy to do.

And I had such a blast playing the character for two seasons. And I mean, I know when you were younger, you also. played the games of course yeah i knew the games pretty well so that was like i mean and it's always a dream to be a a video game i mean for me it is it rules yeah but stephanie you i'm sure you did and yours isn't it quiet as original right yeah yeah she's original so i didn't i wasn't burdened with any of the sort of like what has to be like the game right feeling because it wasn't that character's not in the games she serves as like a i don't know um a foil for john and another version of John having a similar experience.

I think the first season, I was like, John's like the Hamlet and Quay, it's like the Ophelia. And I was like, what am I talking about? I'm like here right now. What am I doing? But like similarly, they have very similar journeys, I think. Which, by the way, in the first season, there's two full episodes of you just acting without speaking,

which I think you do such a great job with. Just a joy. For me. I love. It was some of my most favorite stuff because I was like, well, first of all, I was really nervous in the very beginning because I didn't know Anthony. I just knew him that he was this big star. You know, he's gone to Juilliard. He's worked with all these people. He's like, you know, handpicked to be in these very, like, iconic films and have these roles and stuff. So I was like really nervous to work with him. And so it was a huge load off of me that I didn't have any lines to memorize. So I was just like reacting off people. But I did research the game. I never played the game. I sat around and watched people play the games.

But it is really what MJ said. And the second season especially, I really feel, captures the energy of, like, dicking around with your friends. You know, and, like, I think the first season captures it, too. But because we had the chance, I mean, the thing, the hard thing about television is, like, you need time to grow it. You really do need time to grow it. And like, it's such a fast-paced environment and world that, like, we are consuming media so quickly and wanting everything now, now, now, now, now. And, like, the problem with that is that, like, if you don't get a second season to, like, allow your cast to, like, continue to get to know each other, even just, like, the vibe that we had on some of the episodes where we all got to be together, those tournament episodes where we're all around each other, it was so fun to connect with everybody and be, like, a real ensemble together on such. and see these characters really brought to life.

I mean, like, iconic characters that are in the games that look exactly like they do in the games or almost like a better version of themselves brought to life by these really, really, really funny actors. I mean, I think Richard is a good example. I mean, what he brings to that character to Grim is so weird and funny and cool and scary and, like, a little bit sexy.

and like just like very I just very yeah I'm just like really excited for people to see it and there was more money so like things look better like they're a lot of sexy cast member everyone look everyone's looking good funny as hell and also that bonding thing you were talking about doesn't happen on a ton of shows and that's a testament to with you guys casting it but it was also the way it was written we were all allowed to be I mean in the space together bouncing off of each other witnessing each other's work and so like that also in turn, you know, because comedians are fucking weird. Like, we'll watch each other's work and be like, that's fucking funny. I need to be funnier in this next scene.

You all push each other. We push each other. We push each other in a great way, right? Like, not in a yucky competitive way in this way that we're like trying to one up each other and make each other bust up during scenes. I remember shooting with Patty Guggenheim and Lisa Gilroy and like all of us kind of coordinate and collaborating and trying trying new stuff and like trying to push each other

and make things funnier and try to make each other break and it's just like yeah I don't know I don't think I answered the question but I don't talk about our show no but I'd love to also throw out to you like you have a really hard job because a lot of these characters are from the game so it's very easy to be like okay well we're pulling this from this character like Stu is like very much

like these like Mike and Stu from the game and Stu this season are like okay well they have a pre-established like character a little bit right yeah yeah we're dumb guys we're dumb party guy well that's the joke is that they're very much like well we just are dumb and we're kind of roped up into this and that's why i love the everyman vibe and the underdog of like oh my god they're here yeah and i think quiet is such a tough character because it's like okay they're new and mayhem this season as well it's like they're new so how do we bring this new character in and make them feel like they're always meant to be here

and and i think you just such a great job this last season and this season and this season especially of everyone feels like you fit right in which is awesome like we always talked about when you see the cast of characters we wanted to feel like i am choosing my character in a video game right and you always want to feel and the way we designed your costume liz and with minor thoughts from me but very much like wanting to feel like you want to you want to feel like you're choosing them like yeah your avatar yeah you're like clicking through and like in that way i will say like the being knowing that this is a world that like comes from the game right and like when I think about the the things that I've done or like the games that I've played where um things feel real

and that's that I feel like includes like goofy nerdy stuff that I that like my friends and I did when we were in high school it's like like dandy stuff or like role play or like there's an element of like standing and doing like when you know the camera's like on a wide shot of everybody like you can just feel like everybody's doing that right like everybody no understands the assignment to use one of those kid phrases right like everybody knows that they're supposed to kind of like lean into that a little bit and like there's some of the that's sort of like the fun and the kitsch of it yeah right yeah it was a blatch I mean it was it was such a fun season. And I think people are going to go

crazy over it. It's fun. It's really fun. It's stupid. Right now. It's on right. The first three episodes are available now, Wags, on Peacock. Stop listening. Go watch.
