On December 17th, 1933, the Chicago Bears defeated the New York Giants in the first ever championship game of the young National Football League. The NFL championship would continue with the climax of each season until its replacement on January 15th, 1967 by an event called the S*** Bowl. So was born perhaps the most litigated brand name of all time. Its trademark so rigorously enforced, we are choosing to self-censor its very mention.

Listen, S*** Bowl, wild, right? I mean, we don't even censor overt profanity like cocksucker. Also established in the 1930s and settling on its now ubiquitous branding mid-century, a bluegrass state-bredded bird broker founded by a man who called himself Colonel despite no record of military service and who literally got away with murder, escaping prosecution for gunning down a rival. In 2006, the now-acronymical fried chicken outlet debuted a then-mocked menu item that would prove wildly popular as a filling fast food value meal. The Famous Bowl, a starch on top of starch pile of mashed potatoes, corn, fried chicken,

gravy and cheese. Nearly 20 years later, the Famous Bowl is a staple of the world's biggest chicken chains menu and it's expanded its line to bowl varietals with variable protein seasonings and bases. But which of the available sauce-starch combos most deserves the title of famous? Today, on the cusp of a gridiron showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, two of America's biggest brands converge in a winner-takes-bowl-bowl brawl. This week on Doughboys, we return once again to KFC for the KFC Superbowl. Go birds.

Welcome to Doughboys, the podcast about chain restaurants. I'm Tiger Weiger, along with my co-host, Beef Stroganoff, the spoon man, Mike Mitchell. You get it. Yeah, jacking off. Like Beef Stroganoff, but about jacking, Fidelio to the whole Doughboyz crew, love Brendan, go birds. Wow. Roastitbergfuck. hey, good for you, for your birds. Go birds.

And you know what, I guess I gotta say go birds too. Whoa, well we can ask our guests what they, which makes sense, cause today is a super, it's super, super. What are we calling it? We haven't decided what we're calling it. We said superbowl. Did we say superbowl?

We were saying superbowls, we talked about super, super. It's kind of disgusting. Bowls. Superbowls, okay, we can't say. Superbowls. We can't say soupy bowels was one of them. We can't say s*** bowl. Can't we just say, we can say s*** bowl.

We have to bleep it. Is that true? We're bleeping every instance of soup bowl. You can say soup or bowl. Soup or bowl. Yeah, we could try to be kind of easily with it. What the fuck does soup or bowl mean? I'm asking you a question.

Do you want soup or a bowl? Would you rather have this bowl or would you rather have this? Soup means it sucks bowl means it scored that works for me We're going to the baby. We'll get to that that's in the meat of the episode We're gonna decide which of the KFC famous time in the best this out for yeah, my bad. No no no that's good No, that's good. I want it. I want the classic intro though. Oh, I don't like talking until I get the intro. But I already talked. Yeah, you guys do your thing

and then I'll come in in a little bit. I'm backed up, Wags. I'm all backed up. Yeah, you were saying that roastedbirdfuck.com. Is it the, like, how long have you been backed up? Because we just got back from San Francisco. Have you had a BM since you landed in LA? Ooh.

Because if your last BM was in the Bay, Mitch, it's been a while. My last BM was in the bay, Mitch, it's been a while. My last BM was in the bay, literally. You're dropping heat off the pier, you fucking freak. Yeah, why not? It's nasty. There was no bathroom at Hog Island where we were. That's right, I'm wearing the hog,

for our audio listeners, I'm wearing my Hog Island Oyster Company hat, and no, Hog Island, it's not just where I'm wearing my hog island oyster company hat and no hog island, it's not just where I hope to go when I die. It is where we had a wonderful meal, my favorite meal of the year. And don't think of that. I'm sorry, just the idea of hog, when you die,

would just be a bunch of, what would it be, is I guess my question. I'm trying to give you some hot dudes with big hogs. Oh, all right, all right, all right. Just detached hogs, like calm fronds. I was thinking about big hogs. Oh, all right, all right, all right. Like detached hogs, like calm fronds. I was thinking about detached hogs. Yeah, no, like a bunch of hog cacti. Just like, no, it'd be attached to people.

You loved hot hog island. I loved hog island. Oh, I was just gonna say, I heard when you die that your hog turns four inches. Oh, it goes to four. Wow. It was just like, that's a manageable space. Everyone is equal in the kingdom of God

is basically what happens. But when it's like, yeah. Everyone's got a four incher. Everyone's got a four incher. That's what I heard. I'm gonna back out of this, so let you guys do your thing. I think that's great,

because then it's just like, we're all at the same level. You think that's great? We're all at the same level. First of all, you're gonna go down about, you know, six or so inches. All right. He's got a big one.

Yeah, I heard on this pod that you got a big boy. I've been hearing about that. We don't need to get into this. The, we went Hog Island Oyster Company is just the name. And we, there is a Hog Island I assume, but we went to the one in San Francisco, which is in the Ferry Building. We had a lovely meal with the team that was up there,

with Emma and Amelia, with our guest Jordan Morris for our San Francisco live show, and then with Chankton and a bunch of Chankton's friends. Yes, yeah, Chankton's sister Mary was there, a meal, her husband. Meal was great. We hung out with all of them afterwards, where they took us to a great dive bar by the bay.

Yeah, it was all fun. Oh yeah, that dive bar was fantastic. Hog Island was an incredible meal, and you have to like your rocks. Hogs loves it. But I love oysters, and we had raw oysters. We had a grilled oysters It was having love hog island your huge hog island. Yeah Are you telling me that you still have those oysters with you right now? That's what I wanted to know

Oh shit, you're saying that they're slopping Those oysters still with me man, thank God. I hope they are give me some cuz that's how good Jesus Christ. Fucking hell. Jesus Christ. Disgusting. Amelia, you freak, you freaked out everyone. Our guests say damn.

That's revolting. Damn. Might have to check out this Hog Island. It was great. It was really good. It was really good. That she wants shit oysters, apparently. Yeah. I genuinely thought about it for like three days after. I was really good. It was great. It was really good. That she wants shit oysters apparently. Yeah.

I genuinely thought about it for like three days after. I was like, man, that was such a good meal. It was a good meal. I was so hyped for Hog Island and in advance. And then when we went there, like it's so exceeded my expectations. It was a great meal. The cold dishes were great.

The hot dishes are great. It was wonderful. The service was great. What a great experience. I don't know. Made the whole trip worthwhile. I do wonder if I've gone since then. I need to go. I need to go.

I looked at it, I opened my mouth and mirror, I got a little bit of brown throat going. Oh Jesus. That's awful. That's worse than what Amelia said. Oh what, you've never. It's disgusting. You've never had a little brown throat before?

No. Oh yeah, when you get backed up you get brown throat, it happens wrong I hate that Mitch play your drop Do you need what I do for Jimmy when she has upset tummy just pumpkin rice and chicken Oh, maybe I do that until you shit orange. Oh Jesus Nasty start to today's fucking disgusting Nasty start to today's episode. Yeah, this is fucking disgusting. You air my secrets out there.

She just got off, she's upset. She's upset. We have a new guest, it's her first time on the show that's promoting a special, we're just talking about fucking human shit? Five minutes up top? It's fucking awful. What kind of show is this?

He's shocked by this. I just didn't know that if you are constipated that you could just throw up shit. I didn't know that was a thing. That's a really gross thought. I didn't know that. Yeah, no idea. Maybe it happens, I don't know.

Maybe that clogged up. But does it come out looking like shit or does it come out looking like throw up? That's a great question. I think probably a little from column A, a little from column B. Yeah. You guys, do you think people are still listening?

I mean, I hope so, but yeah, I don't know. I don't know, that's a good question. They're down with it, they're down with it. You would not be happy with a four-inch-er hog heaven. Why, well, look- One of your favorite activities is out the window. You're not that flexible. Okay, variety is the spice of life.

So you just kinda know, like, hey, there's different sizes out there. I think that's fine. And I think everyone should be happy with whatever they're working with. And heaven should be able to be like, I want like a big one right now. You know what I mean? Well, yeah, okay.

So that's a different- I think you should change it on demand. That's a different sort of fantasy. I think you should be able to change it on demand if you're an angel. I guess it's like, what is your power set? Like what skills do you have when you are in the afterlife?

Are you yourself like a God-like being? Can you alter reality? Is this covered in angels in America at all? I've never seen it. That's what I want, I don't know. I've never seen angels in America. I haven't seen it either. Eva lent me the, maybe I still have what Eva,

she lent me the DVD a long time ago. She loves angels in America. I read the play, I think. Oh yeah, it was a play, right? It was a Broadway play for the first, and then HBO series, is that what it was? I'm not familiar. I mean, Heaven is for real,

which was about the little boy who saw Heaven. Oh, right. And he said, I think Pikachu is there, so that's cool. The little boy said he saw Heaven, he said Pikachu is there? Yeah, he said Pikachu's up in Heaven. And people, and so what happened? People believed it or what?

He became like a Christian celebrity. It's like a huge thing, you know this guy, Colton Burpo? His name is Colton Burpo? His name is Colton Burpo, yeah. His last name is Burpo? Mitch, this was like 15 years ago. I can't believe you're just finding out about this. The guy had the Heaven is for Real is the book. I mean, like, I remember Heaven,

I remember like of Heaven is for Real, but one, I didn't know Pikachu was there. I didn't know Pikachu died, first of all. Second of all- Well, I don't know if he died or if he's like some sort of, you know, again, some sort of demigod, some sort of immortal being who transcends space and time.

Oh, he could be related to Zeus. He could be related to Zeus. He also has the, you know, thunder possibilities, thunder powers. Pikachu's rolling around, having a four-incher. Double the size of what he was. So he's feeling good. There's no way Pikachu was above two,

up two-incher, there's no way at all. Heaven is for Real is, it was written in 2010. It was written by Todd Burpo and Lin Vincent about his, the near death experience by his three-year-old son, Colton Burpo. And Colton- Colton's still alive, right, hopefully? I mean, I hope so, he'd be very young.

But yeah, I believe, I'll try to find the passage, but I believe it's a certain point he said that, Pikachu was there and more of his favorite characters kind of like Game Master Anthony Mitch do you have a drop to play? Yes, Emma hit him with a drop Colton Burpo's 25 That's why one does submit a drop with 500 actual wows in it and it's obviously gonna be over 30 seconds Can I can I send that off for an episode at some point? Yes Wow It's obviously gonna be over 30 seconds. Can I send that off for an episode at some point? Yes. Say the line, Bart! Wow. One.

Let's not get into it though, because I get really heated up. I think that was 497. Mmm, flush. Yay! Alright. So they did 500 watts, which I think we requested. That's an impressive feat. I was listening while trying to find the-

They did include in the email the image of their tracks. Oh my God. Editing 500 wow's. Wow, look at that. It's a lot, it's overwhelming, I hate it. Dear DoFam, after sourcing all 500 unique wow's, screen cap of all individual clips and Audacity attached, I think you can now pick out

the wow audio waveform by sight alone. Wow. Same. He just saw it. He just saw it. I thought collecting all 500 riles would take a bit, but the drop off episode had 165 wows in itself. One wow every 35 seconds. Jesus Christ Christ our show sucks. Well, there we go To be fair you did on the drop-off sit there go wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow for like So that maybe got them a good jump start Oh wows played one after the other runs for roughly four and a half minutes Enjoy question mark Thomas Lee ten tickles on the dose cord, Prissy sent the one spooned angel FF7 drop.

He was probably pissed about, he was probably pissed about he couldn't

vote for Trump over Biden. Yeah. If Trump gets his way, none of us will ever have to vote again. That's also true. Hey, no more voting, you know, no more hitting the booth. That's also true. Hey, no more voting, no more hitting the booth. That's pretty good. Free Tuesday in November. Save a couple steps to do something else.

There you go. You gotta look at things positively now. There's no, that's the world we're in. Our guest, you know, from The Bear and English Teacher, his new special live from the Windy City is now streaming on YouTube. Carmen Christopher is here. Hi, Carmen.

Hey, guys. Thanks for having me. Thanks so much for making time for us. Oh my God, thanks for having me. Carmen, you're wearing a Bears hat. You have a Chicago connection. Did you grow up there? Born, raised. Wow.

Love it. But also, you know, it's where I'm from. So I like to be upset about it as well. Sure. But I love it. I love it. I usually don't like teams that have beat my team in championship games, like I hate the giants forever, but I was young when the Bears beat the Patriots and also I still like-

85 Superbowl was it? Yeah. 85. Yeah. I was, I didn't see that game. I was three years old, so I don't know if I, or I just turned three years old. Uh, but I, uh, I, I like the, I'm, I like the Bears. I was three years old, so I don't know if I, or I just turned three years old, but I like the Bears. I think they're my, well, I like the Bulls too.

I'm not against any Chicago team. Chicago teams. I'm a diehard Bears fan. I'm a diehard Bulls fan, but the Bulls have been really disappointing. We talked about it earlier. Yeah, they're a bit of a frustrating team. It's very frustrating.

And the Bears, they suck this past year, but there's a lot of hope. There's a lot of light in the tunnel right now. Yeah. For me, at least I think Caleb Williams is going to be a star. Yeah. I think he's legit.

I think he's got a great coach and Ben Johnson now. I think Ben Johnson's going to lead us to the promised land. I think he's bringing in Dennis Allen as his defensive coordinator. And a lot of these other specialized coaching positions are going to guys who are former NFL players.

So we're building the foundation. We got a lot of good talent. We gotta get these guys fired up. We gotta bring in an offensive line, a defensive line. I see a bull in the next three to four years. Ooh, I like this prediction. You guys upset, you had a couple of upsets this year that were fun to watch, didn't you?

Well, you know, you got some bad bosses too. Well, here's, here's the thing about the bear season for the football fans that have watched or not watched, there's undeniably, we were five and whatever we, our records suck, but there was truly, we could have beat the Packers. We could have beat the Vikings. We could have beat the Redskins with that

Hail Mary and we could have bet the Lions.. We could have beat the Vikings. We could have beat the Redskins with that Hail Mary and we could have put the lines that's a four games, right? Yeah. So what is that? That links you to nine. And then if you know, if you have the momentum and if you're like winning these games that you should be winning, like then you don't lose games that you should be winning, like against the Patriots, they lost to the Patriots.

They lost to the Colts at the beginning of the year. Those are having God Drake, Drake made you. Are you guys excited about Drake? Yeah, I think he's good. I think it's going to, I think, I think I'm excited to end. I'm excited about a variable coming back and he's got a good staff and I'm excited. I think we're, I think you guys are probably a little further along than we are, but I think that we're going to, I think we'll be good. Not by much. You know, you guys, I mean, you guys don't have as much talent on defense

in your special, your like wide receivers and running backs. Our offensive line is also bad. Yeah, you guys got a while. We got some stuff. I- He doesn't watch football. I don't watch the NFL anymore,

but I did do a little bit of research and because we're talking this bull, which we'll bleep with every mention, because we're talking about that the first NFL championship game was won by your Chicago Bears back in 1933. I're talking about that. The first NFL championship game was won by your Chicago Bears back in 1933. I didn't know that. They beat the Packers.

Isn't that wild? Yeah. I think it was the Giants in the first game. Oh, was it? Yeah. Okay, you're probably right. Every time we say, well, can we bleep it with like burpo or something instead?

So just someone saying burpo. Yeah, burpo, burpo. You do it again. Burpo. Burpo. There we go, burpo. Okay, so we got some options. The burp-o. Yeah, burp-o, burp-o. You do it again. Burp-o. Burp-o. There we go, burp-o. Okay, so we got some options. The burp-o ball?

The burp-o ball? The burp-o ball? You guys gonna watch the burp-o? What do you guys, do you guys have burp-o ball plans? Honestly, I don't know. Sometimes I'll host a little burp-o ball. You do like to host and you make yourself like a little buffalo dip.

Ooh, buffalo dip's where it's at. Whoever makes the buffalo dip is the winner of the Burr Pro Bowl party. For sure. I have two questions for you. One. I love questions.

Actually, I have more than two questions for you. I love questions. Bring them in. Are you Cubs or White Sox fans? God, I hate this question because I just like don't, I just like don't watch baseball anymore. And there was time periods in my life. It is really confusing because, you know, my dad's side of the family was socks fans.

And then I grew up and my friends were Cubs fans. And then in high school, we would ditch high school and we would take the train, go to the games and we get like $7 tickets and like smoke cigarettes and drink beers is like, that sounds like my Red Sox experience. It was so fucking fun. You can get cheap tickets. We were just like these look like little kids just smoking cigarettes and spitting everywhere. I can't like take the cigarettes and like, you know, that was before Wrigley turned into

what Wrigley is now. So it was cool. And then it turned into like, like there's something about Wrigley, like going to a game sometimes if you're just driving through, like, cause I literally lived after college. I lived, um, probably I would say 300 feet from the park. Wow. So I was dealing with, like, I would just be coming home from work or trying to go to like improv class or some shit and I'd have to like go through a sea of drunk Cubs fans.

So it like kind of turned me against Cubs fans in a way, but I'm like, you know, it's not like, you know, you've got socks fans who are running on the field and knocking out umpires eyeballs. So it's like every fan, I think every fan, like every city's fans are ridiculous. So it's, I don't think that's fair. Honestly, now that I don't live in Chicago, I want both teams to do well, just because I want Chicago to look cool. That's nice. That's nice sentiment. Yeah. But also it is funny cause like after the Red Sox one, I think it's same thing happened

that Wrigley is that it became a lot more commercialized tickets went way up. It's what they call pink hat fans, which I think is just like a sexist term that they came up with. But- Probably also homophobic in fairness. Yeah, probably. It's like, hey, come on now, we're talking Chicago and Boston, baby. But it was, the team was harder to like after, in the, in the coming years.

And then I moved to LA, so I don't watch baseball as much as I used to at all. But Hey, Theo Epstein, I've said this before on the podcast, they should give Epstein Island to Theo Epstein and then it will be a nice little change of pace. They make it over. They got to do something with that Island. Yeah. Turn into a big baseball field. First class island that somebody really messed up. Theo Epstein, Epstein Island now belongs to Theo Epstein.

My pitch, make it into Jurassic Park. Why not? It would still be less ghoulish. That would be sick. At least shoot the movies there. Yeah, shoot some movies there. Make it an island ooblar. They need to bring the film industry back to Epstein Island.

It's crazy. God, I wonder. Okay, say Clinton a direct one or two. Get him back on there. Clinton behind the lens? Get Clinton behind the lens. You know, I couldn't help but hear a decent laugh when I said what I said a couple seconds ago.

So go check out the special on YouTube. Carmen Christopher, Live from the Windy City. I know you plugged it, but that's all. That's all me. Why the way, that's why you're here. No, I'm actually, I do wanna be, I've been asking Mitch, I've been begging Mitch, can I come on? And I went away for, I did go away for multiple months.

Mitch was in Toronto for like about four months last year. So he was shutting down. Literally getting accordion outside the door. I think so, yeah, this is the thing. So we are- Coach Wayne Brady's playing it. We're recording our shitty shitty podcast in here outside Like Wayne Brady is like there's so much talent like Wayne Brady and Nicole Byer out there like having fun and being talented

Like right next door. Wayne Brady is playing the accordion and Nicole Byer is like doing a funny bit while he does it That's what's happening outside the door. Yeah Listen, I got us. I was in During the LA fires, me and some friends, we went to Vegas. Fun. Because we were like, let's not go to San Diego, we had to evacuate.

So we were like, let's not go to San Diego, everybody's gonna go to San Diego. Right. So we got in, our friend had a house there that he let us stay at, and we were watching, who's line, like whose line came on, and we're watching Wayne Brady, and I'm watching this guy.

And as I'm saying this, he's literally outside of this window we're talking about. As I'm watching this guy, I'm watching him, and I'm thinking to myself, I can never do that. I can never do what that man is doing. He is like, just to just, because we all did improv, right? We all did improv, and I would like to think that by the end of my improv run,

I was pretty good at it. And I think I was like funny and blah, blah, blah. Like, you know, it's like one of those things you have to be in practice to keep being, it's like playing basketball. If you like take a couple months off, you're gonna be rusty. You lose your jumper.

You lose your jumper. Yeah, and so, and you get out of breath quicker and all that stuff. And so, but I'm watching him. I'm like, but I couldn't do what he's doing. What he's doing is like insane. It's so much more challenging to like,

not just like, hey, I'm gonna pander to my own fans, but I am going to go an audience of tourists in Vegas, I'm going to do improv for them. And it's not a cruddy comedy, these are just people who are coming out to see a show and I'm able to like entertain all of them. That's so much more challenging. He's a pure entertainer. Pure entertainer, yeah.

Pure entertainer, born to do it. He's literally right there. He's true. He is. He is. But let's see how good he is with all that accordion, huh? Yeah. What's this fucking accordion crutch he has?

Do, here's the question, yeah, go on. First of all, Shitty Shitty Podcast sounds like shitty shitty bang bang. It does, yeah. the question. Yeah, go on. First of all, shitty shitty podcast sounds like shitty, shitty, bang bang is, was, I just wanted to point it out. And then, uh, also, uh, I was, I bet on soldier field. That's what I was gonna ask. I was gonna ask about soldier field. I've been on soldier field, poof. My cop, my friend from college poof.

Do you want me to move that for you? You don't have to sit at. Well, I might want to put it back in a little bit. Okay. All right. Oh, here, let's do this. There you go. Sure. I liked it for a little bit.

For audio lessoners, Carmen is moving the back pad. We have these lumbar back pads. We have butt pads and back pads. I use the butt pad, Wiger used the back pad. That's the breakdown. If you want the breakdown. A peek behind the curtain. A peek behind the curtain.

I'm pad-less. You know, Carmen is pad-less. I'm pad-less. So you were at like Soldier Field, curtain. I'm padless. Now Carmen is padless. I'm padless. So you were at like Soldier Field. We were like, you've been on the field with Poov. Yeah, me and Poov went down. And is this Poov one or Poov two? This is Poov two, I think, technically.

Okay, this is the other Poov. Luke Michaels. Wait, did I meet that Poov? Have you met Luke? I met a Poov. Wait, did Luke come to our show at the, no, I think Nate did, right? Or maybe Luke and Nate did. There were two guys, two of your college friends came. One of them was a Poov. Wait, did Luke come to our show at the, no, I think Nate did, right? Or maybe Luke and Nate did.

There were two guys, two of your college friends came. One of them was a Poov. I love Luke. Luke, I don't know which show you came to. I don't know if you met Weiger. Obviously it's, you know, if you met him, you'd get it. But he, Poov has, he lives in New York. Poov it.

I was sitting on that. That was not good. That was fucking good as hell. God, I was sitting on that. That was not good. That was fucking good as hell. See, that's what I'm saying. Wayne Brady would have made that funny. Wayne Brady would have made that funny. I see some of the cigarette in their mouth. Cigarettes are back.

Wait, is Wayne Brady? I won't say who it is. I won't out them. Is it a different celeb? No, it's not, yeah. It is. Cigs are back big time. Don't do it, but if you have one every week, it's fine.

Yeah, if you want every week, you're fine. One every week, you should be fine. I think doctors recommend one per week, but not more than that. You should be putting some shitty stuff in your body weekly so that you build a tolerance in case you have to smoke cigarettes. That's a great one.

That's great, that's smart. There might be a situation- I like that scenario where you have to smoke. There's a situation where you might have, listen, if you're around a bunch of people in your industry that you're trying to impress and they're all lighting up, you're gonna say no and lose a job? No, you're gonna light up.

Yeah, you gotta. I think that was more of a concern in old Hollywood. These days, I think people are a lot more health conscious, but it's still good to be trying for that. Bring back old Hollywood. We want the, we wanna shoot here. Yeah, we like the rat pack. We like all those people being smokestacks.

Have those lungs ready, cause sometimes you gotta smoke a cig to get a job. And old Hollywood's coming back. I've been reading the- You think so? I, it's coming back. Hollywood's coming back. After the fires, I heard that

Newsome wants to start filming here again. It's true, there was like a huge, like there's a huge California state tax credit that hopefully will get some more production back in the South Island. I made that up, do you think they really will? No, that's true. No, it's absolutely true. You made that up. Do you think they really will? No, it's true. It's absolutely true.

You made that up? Yeah, yeah. No, they were just like, there's some issues. You did say that. You did. Oh, see, there you go. Well.

What a specific thing to make up. So here's another thing that I've been making up and I don't know if it's gonna happen is, ever since the fires, you know what I've been saying is, downtown LA is coming back. Ooh, I like that. I like that.

You know what though, there was a stretch, how long have you been here now? Three years, I don't know anything about this city. There was a stretch where like they were like downtown LA is coming back and then COVID hit and it was like, it didn't happen. Yeah, I've been in LA County my whole life. There was a time when downtown LA

was just kind of a wasteland. It was, there were a handful of like banks and you know, the library and stuff, but it was just like pretty, a bunch of empty lots. It was, it was not a a handful of like banks and you know, the library and stuff, but it was just like pretty, a bunch of empty lots. It was not a fun part of town. It got revitalized a lot, largely because of the Staples Center and the conventions that are a lot of surrounding

sort of infrastructure got built. Now they're really, they've been really trying to make it into something in like the past 10, 15 years, but it's like a little, they haven't quite struck a balance. It's like almost like they're catering exclusively to like the kind of people who want to live in these luxury lofts. And it's like, there isn't really any sort of space

for anybody who's, you know, it's just, it's all super expensive condos. It would be cool if it was easier to get to, if there was like trains that got you down there. The way it's got those trains. There are, it just depends on where you're going from. But yeah, it's a last mile problem. There's a lot of issues, well, not Santa Monica,

but there's a lot of, I haven't lived in Santa Monica in five years. There's a lot of like- Fur Po area. There's a lot of, don't dox me. There's a lot of great ways to get- What were Fur Po there where I said that? There's a lot of great ways to get to downtown LA by train,

but the problem is most people don't live within an easy, you know, like walk or bike ride of a train station. Can you shut the fuck up for a second? We're talking about the train. No, I know, but I'm so sick of it already. I mean, you said you were reading something and I want to get.

I've been reading all the Dune books. And this is so we move past it. It's fine. No, I want to go back to it. What are we going to say? I was just going to say it doesn't matter anymore. It's about the cigarettes thing. I was going to say I could just have a little bit of spice from Dune and not turn into a guild navigator.

I love how you guys fight like you've been doing a podcast for 10 years ago. You know what I mean? The way you guys talk to each other, it's like anybody else that talks like that, you're like, ooh, we have to maybe separate them. But you guys have been doing this so long that you guys can just be like, fuck you, you're a, ooh, we have to maybe separate them. But you guys have been doing this so long that you guys can just be like, fuck you.

You're a fucking asshole. Well, sometimes it does get bad to the point where, but I got a pitch now off of that, so it was good that you brought it back up, turned downtown into Dune Town. That would be fun. Oh shit, sand everywhere? Sand worms.

Casey's ears are perking up. Sexy ass blue eyes everywhere. Oh shit. Everybody's walking around with some beautiful eyes. Damn. Theyxy ass blue eyes everywhere. Oh shit. Everybody's walking around with some beautiful eyes. Damn. They'll be sick as hell. They're gonna cast everyone from downtown. There's Wayne Brady again.

He's back, Wayne Brady's back. Bro, I didn't realize how tall Wayne Brady is. He's pretty tall. He's kinda tall, he looks small. You know what's interesting? He looks small on screen. Most people look tall on screen. He's got an opposite thing going on.

Yeah, I agree with that actually. He's not a small man. He's a decent sized fellow. I mean, and to put it another way, does the camera make everyone have a four incher? Like it's just kind of like the great equalizer. I never think about the size of people's thangs. Well, I didn't mean it like that.

I meant like metaphorically. It's an interesting question. I'm gonna start watching movies and be like, I wonder how big everybody is. That's, you're very the opposite of Nick and I, cause I think that is maybe what we think about. Really? Daily? I was gonna say hourly, but probably daily.

I gotta say this, Luke Michaels, he's a season ticket bear holder. He has been for a long time. Wow. His family, and he's from New York. So he goes like, whoa, he'll fly in for games. He loves the bears. Is he ever looking for a new friend to take to the game? I'm sure he's got, he's got more ticks.

Luke, bring Carmen with you. I'm down man. Beer's on me. I'll buy the drinks, man. I'm not cheap. We were, we were going to go this year and then we didn't end up going, which was, I think a good thing.

I think it was a bad, the Pats, the Pats won. I guess it would have been good for us, right? Like, uh, but. Yeah. It was a bad game, wasn't it? I mean, there's so many bad games this season. I almost went to the Seahawks game. It was, uh, the final score was six to three.

That was another game we could have won. Like when two teams are, when there's a game and the final score is six to three, anybody could have left with a W. So it's like, those are other games where I'm like, now we got a good coaching. Maybe these start turning into wins. I was on the field. I was on soldier field. Brady was warming up, throwing passes right next to me.

Cool. And I had done this video with him. He's tall as shit too, right? He's tall, he's a tall guy. I had done a video with him back in the day. I didn't say anything to him, but I don't know if he would have even remembered. But I think it's probably the right move to not be like,

yeah, I mean, he's warming up for the game. I don't wanna fuck him. I did a video, like, he doesn't wanna hear that. I would have got yelled at by Belichick or something. Yeah. It's so scary. But we did, we did the doesn't want to hear that. I would have got yelled at by Belichick or something. It's so scary. But we did, we didn't want to do that. We did the flat. We did the American flag.

We did. Oh, you pulled it out for all the American flag. We were, we were on the field holding the big American flag. I heard that you try to light it on fire. I was trying to light it on fire. I heard you had a zipple and you tried to light that thing on fire. I would never. The truth is there was a peanut in the middle of the American flag.

There was like a shelled peanut. And so the whole time I was working the peanut to get the peanut to me. And I got it. I got the peanut. I wonder if I can find a picture of, of me with the peanut, but I got, I did. I got the peanut. That's so funny. And I don't know if I eat the peanut.

That's like some Homer Simpson peanut. That's so funny. And I don't know, did I eat the peanut? That's like some Homer Simpson shit. It's so good. That's so funny. I got the, well, Luke, I think Luke was the one who was like, hey, check it out, there's a peanut. And I'm like, I'm gonna get the fucking peanut. But is this a season ticket holder perk? You help unfurl the flag?

I think they do. And if you have a plus one, they can participate? They asked, they asked, they asked like, hey, did two people from your, wow. How did you sneak the Zippo in to light the flag on fire? How did, cause they usually, like when you're going through the security, they take your lighters and stuff. I kneeled, I did not, I did not light it.

I kneeled for the flag. Carmen is just joking around, but I have a serious question. Is that the same flag you took to the Capitol? Too big. Oh, and welcome back. You got pardoned, my guy. Yeah, oh, and welcome back. You got pardon, my guy. Yeah. Congrats.

That's right. Everyone's like, oh, he was shooting a movie in Toronto. This boy was in jail. This boy was in jail. Okay, we gotta talk about, speaking of Chicago, speaking of the Bears, we gotta talk about The Bear, a show you're on. And is the-

You guys might recognize me as the 27th lead of the show. Yeah. Yeah. It's a great show, big food show. We had Joanna Kahlo on previously. I'm curious about like your, I think people always wanna know about the food. Yeah.

Like is there anything that actually, that you've done with the actual food on the show? Oh my God, yeah. The last episode of the first season and also the last episode of the second season, it's us eating. Like the first season, what were we eating? Let's look up the name of the episode, I'm such an idiot.

What's the name of the episode at the end of the episode of the first season? You can take a second. Here's the thing, it's Courtney Storer, who is Chris Storer, who is Chris Storer's sister is like the main food consultant on the show. But also there's Maddie Matheson, who's a producer,

but Courtney is like kind of in charge for my understanding. Yeah. Let it rip. Right. Is that the episode name? No. The first season finale of the bear was Rock

Gil. Yeah. Yeah. So that she, she made that, she made that headline was rock gill. Yeah, yeah. So that she made that. I guess that was their headline was let it rip, I guess. Yeah, no. So then she made that dish and it was fucking banging.

Wow. And so we weren't, when we were eating it, it was like, we're eating it for the first time. I'm like, whoa, this is actually good. And you know, that's episode eight of the first season. So you probably don't remember me cause I have zero lines. I literally eat pasta in it. But there's another episode where she made some other pasta dish and I had to have a reaction to it. I had to eat it. And he gave me a line

to say, like say like whatever. And I was like, can I just say what I really think when I taste it? Because I haven't tasted it. And I tasted it and I go, holy shit, this is like actually really good. That was like my, I think what I, my response. So the food is like legit. That's wow. It actually is like really high quality. Her food is good. She's been doing a lot of stuff for the first responders and the firefighters in LA, like making them like

meatball sandwiches and stuff. It's like, yeah. So like meatball sandwiches and stuff. It's like, yeah. So she's, the food is legit. That's on set. If anybody's wondering that food is like really good. Is there, yeah. Wanna go to party city after this

and get some firefighter costumes? I want one of those fucking meatball sandwiches. Actually to tell you something really disgusting is when I was looking at her Instagram stories, I was looking at the meatball sandwich and I wrote, holy shit, this looks awesome. And I knew they were for like the firefighters and first responders, but I was kind of, and she responded, she's like, yeah, we've been making them for the firefighters. I was hoping she was going to be like, what's

your address? I'll send you one or something. I'm like, I don't need that. But like secretly I was like, I can like, what? I'll have one. Let me have one. I had to evacuate. You know? You wanted to rest? Yeah. What is the food like? I had to clean up ash off all my windowsills. What is the food like off camera?

Like is there, like, is any of the catering, any of the craft services, like, beyond what you might see on a normal set or any different than on a normal set? Oh, that's a pretty good question. Here's the thing about that show, which is interesting, is I know you guys have worked on stuff. Like when you shoot, like you're in and out,

like in like two hours. Like you're not like sitting in your trailer for like three hours waiting to go to set to set, you're in and out. Like Chris store, the director is so efficient. And I think the crew probably loves them because like you're not wasting a whole cruise day, right? He comes in with like such a plan. He'd so pre-planned that it's like, he's efficient.

You're in, you're out. So it's like, there's no, like, I never, I'm just realizing this as you're asking, like, you know, most things that I've worked on you, like you have a lunch and you go stand in line for, you know, stuff, but they, um, they just like order you lunch from something. They'll be like, what's your order? So then you order from something, but there have been like, but it has been like good tacos and stuff. And yeah, it's always like good, I think. but it has been like good tacos and stuff. And yeah, it's always like good, I think. No spit buckets needed on this set, it sounds like.

That's interesting to hear that there's a, and maybe that might be a thing that just is sort of like, speaks to a show that really works, is really well-made is that like behind the scenes, there's like a great process there. Because like I've definitely been on the opposite where it's just like, I'm here for 12 hours and I had like 45 minutes of work to be done

over the stretch of this whole day. You know what I mean? Cause it's completely, it's totally poorly scheduled. No one knows what's going on. This is like the best scheduled thing I've ever. Wow. That's wild. Like ever even like, you know, I even before I was,

when I wasn't in this industry, like any, like it's efficient. That rules. Yeah. It is really like, I think it's like good for people in mental health. I ain't good at food. Especially if you're fucking, here's the thing about Chicago. The sky is gray.

Send people home if they don't need to be working. It's fucking a depressing ass city when it's the winter. From January, I'm telling you man, January and February in Chicago and then in March, you're still like, this fucking weather still sucks. And then you're waiting to June and then sometimes it's just like raining in June. Like send people home if they don't have to work because they are not happy people. You're not happy in that weather. It's tough.

That's Ithaca. Same thing in Ithaca. Same difference. happy in that weather. It's tough. Ithaca same, same thing in Ithaca. Same, same, same. But sometimes Chicago, is it gay? Does it get like, cause there was the year before I moved, when I moved from Chicago to New York, it was, I think it was 2013, like the windshield for like a month was like negative 30, negative 20, negative 10, like for a month, I was taking Ubers to work.

It was bad. Cause you're, you're Kelly boy. Yeah, I am. Yeah. Fear of, fear of God. I was taking Ubers to work. You had the fear of life. Yeah, it was bad. Cause you're Kelly boy. Yeah, I am, yeah. Fear of God, I think you meant. That's what I meant. We're built different in Chicago, man. And I can imagine, yeah. No, but I've turned into a total, I've lost it all.

When I go home, I'm like always cold. My favorite, my favorite like Northern climate, like cold weather person guy is like, if it gets cold out here and they're like, this is nothing, you know? And then there's always the like, this is nothing. There's like the, this is nothing one- and they're like, this is nothing, you know? And then there's always the like, this is nothing. There's like the, this is nothing one-up-smanship of like, this is nothing, I'm from Chicago.

It's like, oh, this is nothing, I'm from Minneapolis. And then you get the like, this is nothing, I'm from Toronto. Like, it's like, it's like, there's always someone who's like from a more Northern climate. Yeah, it's like, it gets, but it gets like 65 in my house. I'm shivering. I'm like, I gotta go to the hospital. I lost, I lost the coat. Yeah, I can't take it. I'm usually, I'm like 65 in my house. I'm shivering. I'm like, I gotta go to the hospital.

I lost the coat. I'm usually, I'm like, that's just nothing. Well, that's the other thing. There's also some big dicking from guys who are legitimately cold, but they're trying to act like they're not actually cold. There was always guys like in Ithaca who would wear like t-shirts to remember that.

Like, I mean, Boston is also cold, but like. Where's Ithaca exactly? Ithaca is upstate New York. But like, is it, how far upstate? It's pretty upstate. Four hours. Yeah. Oh wow. And it's like, it's-

Liberal arts school? Yeah, and there's a lake there. Stock East, we were talking about- Liberal arts school, so let me get this straight, everybody's on their high horse. I'm just kidding, just kidding guys. Can I get a water? Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.

Still sparkling? Still sparkling. One of these. Can I plug this right now? La Croix. La Croix Sparkling Pure. Zero calories, zero sweetener. 12 ounce size.

You like the plain guys, huh? They'll just. I like the plain guys when I just ate a bunch of shit. Yeah. Yeah. Which we just did. I'm literally, my top button is unbuttoned. Go ahead, sorry. I was gonna ask you, you were in Toronto recently.

That's right. Did you go to any of Matty Matheson's restaurants? No, dude, because we were there, we were there for the movie, thank you so much. We were there for the movie, what's it called? Friendship, Tim Robinson's new movie. Oh yeah. And I have like the smallest role.

I'm in it for 10 seconds. Very exciting. Spoiler. Yeah, cool. And then you did a show when you were up there too, right? Well, yeah, Andy, the director, invited Whitmer and I, you know Whitmer. Yeah.

You guys know Whitmer? Yeah. Invited us and I was like, I wanna go, but like, I'm like, I'm in it for like 10 seconds. I was like, well, let's do a standup show. That way it'll pay for a trip. So we did a standup show. So we were there for two days and but wait were you I was there because there's prime seafood palace which we didn't end up going to oh yeah I forgot

this shows about food yeah okay cool and I well I I I I kind of made sure that you guys didn't go to it wasn't my fault but I was like if you guys go to prime seafood palace without me I'll kill you, Weiger. Yeah. It wasn't my fault, but I threatened to kill you. I threatened to kill you if you didn't go. But the sad thing is that I went. You didn't get to go.

You went on your own. Yeah, I went on my own. And you forbid us from going without you. Yeah, I wanted to go with you. It's fine, we went to Tanuna with Mars, and we had a wonderful experience. And also the truth is that- Which you're also mad about.

Yeah. Well, I am also mad about. I wish, in reality, I wish you guys never came to Toronto, I guess is what I- We're not allowed to eat without Mitch. I wanted, but also the truth is that we could have gone the next night, but we were all too tired and full. That's true.

So we went to that Italian restaurant where Drake had shown up a couple times. That's fun. Really, Drake was there. I got beef with Drake, I'm with Kendrick, hey. Wow. I'm running with Kendrick, man. Yeah, I think, yeah, we had dinner that night

at a local high school. That's her. I burned Drake there, that's why I burned him. Damn, that was good. Fuck, what am I doing? Why am I getting on, I don't wanna be getting on Drake's beef list. You guys got, who do you think your listeners?

Do you think they're Drake or Kendrick heads? I would imagine they don't, they're like me and don't really have much familiarity with either artist. But I think there are- You think all of our listeners are as dorky as you are? I think there's a contingent of listeners that are like me, but I also think there are probably, just because we have more American listeners

and because I think people like, he's more contemporary, I think probably Kendrick Lamar, the former Kendrick Lamar fan. I would assume so. You'd break it down as- I don't know. No, it was such an honest, I would assume so. Break it down. I don't know. No, it was such an honest, like, dorky fuck. I mean, yes, I'm from L.A., so I got to team up with Kendrick, I suppose.

OK, so do you think they're OK? Let me. Did I Google him fairly recently? Yeah. If you had to if you had to like give your if you had to give your fans an artist. Yeah. Who would that Someone from the Big Bang, like the big, what is the 1930s like swing era? Oh. I feel like it would be, I feel like-

Mel Tormé. Yeah, all right, Mel Tormé. Glenn Miller and his orchestra, maybe? I said the Big Bang era. Okay, shit, so your fans are gonna listen to this episode and completely check out every time I speak. No, I think, no, I think we have a lot more younger listeners than we realize, and I think we also have

cooler listeners than we realize. I know because we meet them. Cool, because I'm 17 and I'm cool. That's true. Who do the producers, like, what music do you like back there? Yeah, what music? Oh my God, this is so interesting. That's such an insane question.

Look, if it's the Kendrick versus Drake, I'm definitely Team Kendrick. Okay. Same. Yeah, Kendrick over Drake. Do you like what? People over Pentaphiles, you know. Right, but what's like a cool band?

Like what's like a band that people listen to now? I love the band Goth Babe, it's actually just one dude. Okay, I've seen you wear a Goth Babe. But I have a guy wear a Goth Babe. Yeah, I've seen that. But it's very like indie. Shout out to Goth Babe. It's very similar to like, kind of Tame and Paula. Live from a windy state. I'm sorry, I'm sports and I have got to wear goth bait. It's very like indie. It's very similar to like kind of tame and policy.

Live from the Windy City. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Check out my special live from the Windy City and check out goth bait. I think the most popular artist I listen to is maybe McGee. Oh, that's a good one. I like McGee. That's your most popular artist?

That I listen to. Sounds like an Irish bar with $2 a beer. Sounds like it. Sounds great. McGee, that sounds nice. You put on a Goth Babe radio, and they do a $2 beer. But it's spelled M-K-dot-G-E-E,

and pronounced McGee. And is this rock and roll, or is this? Yeah, he's a rock and roller. I like that. Yeah, I like Goth Babes. I like Goth Babes and McGee, and Live from the Windy City, my special. And what else?

I'm a Chapplerone stan. Oh, I love Chapplerones too. Oh, Ch Windy City, my special. And what else? I have a Chappell Rhone stand. Oh, I love Chappell Rhone. I love Chappell Rhone too. Oh, Chappell Rhone, I know. All right, so I know Chappell Rhone. I've heard of Chappell Rhone. I know that song. It's like a- That's good, like,

it's like a new song. You kids don't like the Jersey Boys? I love the Jersey Boys. What the hell? I can't believe not one of you guys said the Rat Pack. We were talking about it earlier. Oh yeah, I love the Rat Pack. What about?

I typed Who is Maggie into Bing. Pack. We were talking about it earlier. Oh yeah, I love the Rat Pack. What about? I typed whoismaggie into Bing.com. That's by the way. And Tim Varigate, Tim McGee is a fictional character in the CBS television series NCIS. So I don't think that's the same guy. I think you spelled it wrong. It's, can you spell it again? MK.

MK. Dot G-E-E. Yeah, there you go. MK.G-E-E. They should put a concert together with all of our favorite artists. Next, you should try bigging just goth babe and see what comes up. Ryze, you hear that Koala is trying to start the new Rat Pack?

We have a rat like friend. We have a rat like friend named Koala. It was a joke. It took me a second, but yeah, you're saying. That's good. Carmen, I have a question for you. Oh, I love Carmen. First of all, I like Dave.mon, I have a question for you. Oh, I love- First of all, I like-

Mickey, I see this guy looks cool. I like Dave Matthews band as everyone. I like Andrew Bird, the Whistler. Okay. He is one of the worst Muppets of all time. He's Walter the Muppet. He whistles for Walter the Muppet. I love Andrew Bird though.

Okay. I like, I don't like as much new music. I feel old and bad in that way, but I think it's okay I think Chapel Rowan is probably the only like recent music that like has come out where I'm like I'm into this a lot I was like this isn't quite for me, but I that shit gets stuck in my head I wish I liked new music new a lot of the times new music is it feels overproduced to me and that is a very Old-man dorky opinion I get it But it's like it's all digital. It, I agree with that. But I just-

It's like, it's all digital. It's not like analog anymore. It's kind of like CGI versus practical effects. It used to be played in a room. I mean, it's so dorky, and like the acoustics of the room mattered and stuff like that. And now it feels just more like whatever.

This is dorky. I can't really speak to that. I just don't like, I don't stumble upon music. Like I'll hear music really only at the gym. That's the only place I'll hear new music. There are commercials. So those are the only places I'll come up. I was like, what is this song?

I haven't heard this before. And people are like, oh, that's a huge song. It's like, okay. This song about like having another shot of whiskey or whatever is okay. You know, I don't have any context for it except I hear it when I'm, you know, in the squat rack. Sounds like a country song.

Yeah, I think it's like a hip hop rock or rap fucking country song. Yeah, I only know a rap. Hick hop. The 10 seconds from TikTok, but I know what you're talking about. Hick hop is actually pretty funny. Are you talking about here comes the two to the three

to the four? Yeah, that song, yeah, yeah, yeah. They took everyone in the club getting tipsy and turned it into a country song. Yes, everyone in the club getting tipsy, yes. Whoa. Is that also in the movies commercial? Yeah, it rules. That in the club getting tipsy. Yes, that's what it is. Is that also in the movies commercial? Yeah, it rules.

That's Chicken Fried, I think. Oh, that's true, okay. Well, I don't like the countryfication, whatever. I like some country music, but I'm not a huge country head, I guess. I like Junior Brown. That's one country artist I like. He's got like a steel guitar, he's very good.

But I think that's like from 20, 30 years ago. Okay, I wanna ask you about fried chicken because Chicago, the place I've had is Harold's. Harold's, and I don't know if you have any connection to Harold's, which is a Chicago fried chicken chain. But then also Do Right Donuts, which I imagine might've come about after you moved out of Chi-town.

But that's a place that also has fried chicken. We had a great time at D-Rite Donuts. But do you have any, like, I guess, do you have any fried chicken connections in general? It's okay if it's not even Chicago specific. And can you give us those connections? And then also, who do you think is- Or fandom.

Which Chicago slab do you think liked fried chicken the most? Oh. Is it Dicca? Oh, okay. Dicca probably liked fried chicken, yeah, sure. Farley probably loved fried chicken. Big eater, yeah. Big guy. I guess is like fried chicken. Farley probably loved fried chicken. Big guy. I guess is he, Chicago claims Farley.

I mean, he's a Wisconsin guy. Yeah, I mean, he died in Chicago. He died in Chicago. Are you from where you were born or are you from where you died? Great question. You know what I mean? I think it's probably where you're born,

but he was a Chicago guy. He's Chicago guy. Kind of like, you know, he did Second City and all that. There's a, he did on IO theater. IO theater is probably like, you know, he did Second City and all that. There's a, he did on IO theater. IO theater is probably like, is at the time like, as important of an improv institution as Second City, but less people know about it. But there was a theater, like one of the,

in the training center where he was like doing an improv scene and like punched a hole in the wall or something. And I think they like left the hole in the wall and they called it the Chris Farley theaters. That's fun. Oh man, that rules. Yeah. But like he, uh, no, like people would, so I guess my point being is like going through like improv classes in Chicago, you hear like little stories of Farley here and there. It's kind of cool because he is kind of maybe one of the funniest people to ever live. Right.

Oh, I think, I think he's maybe number one, I say, I mean, for me, I like Sandler and Farley is the two funniest guys. You got Sandler up there. Wow. I like Sandler. Sandler is maybe my, Sandler is maybe the number one spot.

Have you met him? Sandler and Farley. I did meet him. You know, I met him after me and Bugman, our buddy Bugman. Yeah. We met him at, uh, we went to, uh, uncut gems and he came up and talked to us

and he talked to us for so long and we kept cutting the conversation short because like. We got scared. Yeah. Yeah, we didn't want it like, cause it went so well there. You're like, I don't want to waste your time. I don't want to be like annoying, but he really

wanted to talk to us because it was all other like weirdo WGA people there. So he was, but it was, it was, it was great. Yeah. That's awesome. Farley, I think is Farley's, Farley's up there for me. What do you, what do you think? Oh, I don't, I mean, I don't know.

Yeah. He's great. Love Farley. What, what, what, what is there to say? He's great. One of the best. So RIP. So fried chicken, Dick or Farley is those my options?

I think, no, I, I, I'm just curious. Like what is your, what is your level of fried chicken fandom? I feel like it's a food that absolutely everybody loves. It's pretty universally beloved. Do you have any go-to chains or anything? How often do you have it? When I think of fried chicken, I think of the murder at Brown's Chicken in Palestine.

In Palatine, Illinois. My boyfriend was telling me about this. It's like brutal high school. Somebody went in there and just, well, no, when I was in like grade school, it was a big story in the news. Somebody went in there and just basically just, you know, killed a bunch of people for kind of no reason. And I can't even tell you.

So that's what I think of when I think of fried chicken. So I like, so I like to stay away from fried chicken. No, that's not true. Okay. So, okay. No, of when I think of fried chicken. So I like to stay away from fried chicken. Fair enough. No, that's not true. Okay, so, okay. No, but so I do like, if I'm being completely honest, this question, I feel like a loser because like, to me, like, if we're talking,

like I'm not a huge fried chicken person. I like it fine. I like, I definitely like it and I will eat it. But like, the Chicago cliche and stereotype of like pizza and hot dogs and like beef sandwiches, like that's the shit that I eat. Like I love, Italian beef is my favorite food. Like that's the shit that I eat.

Wow. I feel like we haven't had a great version of it on the podcast. Oh, that's not true. Portillo's is good. Did you have Portillo's on the podcast. Oh, that's not true. Portillo's is good Did you have portillo's on the pod? Yes, we went in Chicago. We almost did it today. I literally I asked almost do it today. We did not it was brought up to do it I requested it and I knew it was a ridiculous request

So I never assumed it would happen But then when I looked into the financials and I saw how much money you guys are making I was actually very upset I was actually very upset that we didn't do Portellus. We should take a jet down to Portellus. My answer is the fridge. William Perry. Yeah, refrigerator. William Perry.

Yeah, all time nickname. He's the Chicago guy, I think, who would. You know who I have. I guess I'm just saying all big people, which isn't really fair. Or the big fried chicken. Is this kind of a segue to KFC? Is this the point of this question?

Carmen, you are correct. Yeah, because let me tell you something. Fried chicken, everybody loves fried chicken, but to me, there was never, growing up, it was never like, I need fried chicken. It was never my personal thing. I remember once, I'm half Mexican half Italian. We're not like Mexicans aren't like all about the fried chicken. Sure. It's tacos. You make homemade tacos,

orange rice, some beans. Simple but good. Italians you know you know what Italians do in the mob. Yeah we know what they do. But it's like a lot of pastas, a lot of sauces, a lot of like even the homemade pizza and a lot of the lunch meats laid out and stuff like that. So it was never a huge fried chicken. If I'm eating the fast foods in Chicago, I mean beef sandwiches and I mean pizzas. Fair enough.

I will say that fried chicken, to speak for myself, fried chicken is like my favorite food. I'm kind of like on the opposite of the spectrum just in terms of like, I love it so much and I want it to be good. Like I'm very of like on the opposite of the spectrum just in terms of like, I love it so much and I want it to be good. Like I'm very excited to eat it and I have pretty high standards for it. Mitch, where are you on fried chicken?

I mean, I love to eat fried chicken. By the way, it's halftime. This is the superb bowel. It's halftime, we're at halftime. It's halftime? It's halftime. We're halfway through the episode, we're at halftime. I have to say something about the fried chicken.

Yeah. Before we go to break? About fried chicken in general? Well, just that my mom, my stepdad's from Kentucky. My family's from Chicago. And for Thanksgiving one year, my stepdad's mom was like, we'll host, and she's got KFC. And my mom was pissed. Wow. Because she was like, we'll host, and she's got KFC.

And my mom was pissed. Wow. Because she was like, this is Thanksgiving, you didn't make a turkey, she just straight up ordered a bucket of KFC, and I fucking loved it, but I was a kid. So that was a tough time. For me, when I was younger, KFC,

we've talked about this before, but was like one of the fancy, fancy fast food. It's like, we got KFC for dinner. It used to be better. Yeah, it kinda was. It was like, kind of like, hey,. It'd be like a big- Yeah, it kinda was. It was like, kind of like, hey, this is a, the idea of it was to be a simulacrum of a home cooked meal that you would get to go.

Which when the chain came about, it was a novelty. It was like a thing like, oh my God, we could get a nice dinner out, but we can have it in our own, bring it back to our own home. Why are you confused about the halftime thing? I told you before we started, I wanted it to be like the spur-pout bowl.

Yeah, but it's like, we haven't gotten to the topic yet. And then also the other thing is like, I don't think like clockwise, we're necessarily at the halfway mark of the episode. You think we're past? I don't know. I don't have a feel for it. I don't, well, I don't know either.

It would be fun to have like- We're just declaring it halftime, willy-nilly. Now we gotta make sure there's another 53 minutes of the episode or else it's not- Are actually usually split into thirds with two ad breaks or a point I'm a well we should split into quarters first of all we put into fours for the super Fuck up our ads what happens at half what happens at halftime we all go take the biggest shits. We've ever taken This like what these bowls we have I'm about to be shitting for like four weeks

Yeah, there was it is it was gonna make you hit the the porcelain bowl. I hope so for you I know I know I need it get rid of that brown mash potatoes and mac and cheese they put in those bowls It's just it Lubricates everything that's in your system up and you're just ready to shit, baby I thought that we could plop in all like singing. No, you're 100% right Yeah, I thought we could plop in Koalaik singing. No, you're 100% right. I thought we could plop in Koalik singing a song at halftime or something. I thought we could do-

Koalik's doing the halftime show, not the national anthem? Yeah, oh fuck. He could do the bold national anthem again up top. Maybe the sloppy boys play a song at the halftime. Oh, that's funny. Sure. What does that mean?

You wanna make that ass? Well Kendrick, you know, on theme, we talked about Kendrick, Kendrick. Okay, we'll get Kendrick in here. Kendrick is the halftime. He is. Do we know anyone named Kendrick who's not Kendrick Lamar? Kendrick Perkins? All right, there we go.

We'll have Kendrick Perkins sing a song. That would be very entertaining, actually. Yeah, it would be great. Kendrick Perkins. Hello, there we go. There you go. Lamar, all right. Oh, hey, man.

We should have Lamar put a little song in there. OK. It's halftime. We'll figure it out. We should have Lamar for a little song. Okay. It's halftime. We'll figure it out. Mitch, you say you'll learn a new language every year, but few of us actually commit

That was awesome. Wives, we're in the second half here. And look, between the bowls, we haven't gotten to them yet, but it's a close game, I'll say. That's right, it is a close game between all of our contestants here in the KFC, whatever we're calling this.

Should we introduce the, we don't know what we're calling exactly, but should we introduce the teams in the second half here of the game here? We have seven bowls, is it? I believe it's eight different bowls. Eight bowls. So yeah, maybe we put in the,

the, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, put in that little song, like a song they play for the Chicago Bulls starting lineup. Oh yeah. What the fuck? Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun Also that's basketball.

Bum bum bum bum bum. You're Chicago Bulls. See, he likes it. Oh, that was smart. Wayne Brady watched you do that and was just shaking his head. Ha ha ha. Before we get specifically to that one last detour, and I promise this is the last detour.

Okay, great. Cause we are past the half point. We are past the half point, so the game has to start. It's halftime and the game hasn't started. That's weird for a ball. I've never seen it happen in a ball so far, but it could. My question to you is what are you usually, if you're at a ball, what eats do you like like a purple? Wait, what is it that you make?

Buffalo chicken dip so buffalo buffalo chicken dip. I'm not kidding you straight out the oven. There's nothing fucking better Wow, somebody brings buffalo cheese because it's also like you like you only see it at burp Oh, it's so like fucking like that's another thing that I'll tear up your butt So it's another thing like, you know, when I think of Super Bowl, I think of that. That's what I want. Number one, that's number one. Number two?

Cool Ranch Doritos. Cool Ranch Doritos, baby. Really? No, no, I don't know. I got stuck. I was gonna just sit in the silence as long as it went. Are you, you're not dipping the Cool Ranch Dorito in the Buffalo Chicken Dip though. That's a hat on a hat. So, but I'm just sit in the silence as long as it went. You're not dipping the Cool Ranch Dorito

in the Buffalo Chicken Dip though, that's a hat on a hat. But I'm just like, in that context, I just have regular tortilla chips that I'm using to dip. I don't necessarily need a Cool Ranch Dorito. I was just saying as another side that I want. I see I don't want them in that context because I want a chip I can dip.

Cool Ranch Dorito. You're gonna get the chips that you dip, I'm saying just another side. Yeah, but I'm saying I don't need them for myself. Do you prefer a chip to dip or like a little like button, like a little roll? I'd rather dip a chip and I'd rather also have some veggies like a crudite that I could dip in there.

I need some vegan pigs in a gluten-free blanket, baby. Oh my God. I'm joking, but I do like little pigs in a blanket, baby. Oh my god. I'm joking. I'm joking, but I do like little pigs in a blanket. Pigs in a blanket. If you're coming to my Super Bowl, don't you dare bring seared tofu. Don't you bring their tempeh nachos, dude.

Wags, don't bring a, what's a third thing besides tempeh? Seitan. Don't bring seitan. Don't you be bringing up how's the air quality in my living room? Don't be asking about the AQI and PM2 in my living room. You were dusting ash off, you said, right? I was dusting ash off, oh yeah.

I think my answer is pretty straightforward, which is wings one, pizza two. Tempeh nachos, okay. I want pizza, I want wings and pizza. I mean, that's like a classic to me, like big game sort of. Wings and meal. Chili. Pizza baby.

Ooh, chili's a good one. How long's this winter time? Chili's interesting. Chili, I like it if I'm in freezing my ass off in Alaska. Yeah. But other than that, I'm sorry, but I like everything else you've said. I think there's maybe an aspect of like,

what is your environment? Cause like if I'm at home by myself being a big piece of shit, that's one thing. But if I get them at a gathering, I'm like, I gotta be conscious of the rumblies. Did you say pizza already? Yeah, pizza, yeah. I mean, that's so basic, but like,

let's talk about the pizza. Cause like, I do think that there is something awesome about somebody just pulling up with some tombstones, like just oven pizza. Yeah, sure. Not necessarily just ordering. And you know what? People aren't talking about how good Papa John's is. Wow.

Interesting. Wow. We've had some, you know, we've had variable experiences with Papa John's over the years. Look, I think Papa John's was the one where I was like, Papa John's is really good. Papa John's is hitting sometimes.

We think Shaq should have taken over. We talked about this. Papa Shaq's should have had an opportunity to rebrand. Yeah. That would have been great. Cause no one likes Papa John himself. Papa John's. Shaq should take over all the foods.

He should be our health commissioner. So an RFK. That would be great. That would be sick. I, we, the issue is that we've tried a lot of Shaq foods and they're not. A lot of them aren't good. They're a lot of them aren't good.

So maybe he shouldn't be in charge of Papa John's. Maybe not. Maybe he had the Shaq XL gummies, the, his Shaq's Big Chicken is really bad. That's a really disappointing chain. Yeah, some people look like that. Get a chain? I didn't even know.

He has a chicken chain and it was, it's a really half-assed execution. In fact, I would say I would prefer the KFC bowls any day to Shaq's Big Chicken. KFC bowl, the famous bowl was introduced in 2006. The chain was founded in 1930. So it's approaching 100 years of existence, 100 years of Kentucky Fried Chicken.

How wild is that? Wow! Korean barbecue sauce was introduced along with its saucy nuggets in 2024, which we reviewed around then. That was only last year. With John Early and Claudio Daugherty. It is not in the Golden Plate Club, but it is the biggest chicken restaurant in the world

and the fifth biggest chain restaurant overall in terms of number of locations. Do y'all want to try to guess numbers one through four? Number one, you will never get in a hundred years. It's a Chinese chain, but two through four I think you could get. Subway is number four. McDonald's.

McDonald's is number two. We've done this game before. We have, yeah. Burger King. Not Burger is number four. McDonald's. McDonald's is number two. We've done this game before. We have, yeah. Burger King. Not Burger King, no. Wendy's? No, you're thinking burgers. You're thinking something else entirely.

Nope, nope. Wait, what do we have so far? McDonald's, Subway, and KFC is five. Pizza Hut isn't one of them? No. I thought Pizza Hut was huge other than that. It's not in the top five. Panda Express?

No, you're all thinking of like lunch. Like, like, like, like, in your mind. No, it's, it's, think of a chain. You go, it's everywhere. It's ubiquitous. Starbucks. Starbucks, I'm really got it. Starbucks is number three in the world.

Number one, another sort of like, you know, drinks and treats chain. Costco double chunk chocolate chips. Man, that would, if there was any justice in the world, it would be the Costco double chunk chocolate chip cookie, which is an absolute delight. But no, it is Miksui ice cream and tea, which is a Chinese chain.

Wow. Anyway, so what we're doing today is we have eight different bowls. They have three bowl proteins and three bowl bases. The proteins are Original Recipe, Korean Barbecue, and Nashville Hot. The bases are mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and loaded fries.

They are available in almost every configuration, except for some reason you cannot get Korean BBQ on top of mashed potatoes. You are not allowed to customize whatever protein you get with your bowl. They are all just individually available, and that is not one of the options. Why, Colonel?

Why, Colonel? I'm very sure. And I have a big fucking problem with Yum brands in general. And I mostly encountered this with the Taco Bell app, but this is an issue with KFC app as well. They list shit in the app, and then they just don't have it. So it's like, oh, I wanna get the-

These people are getting pissed off. I'm gonna get the new nuggets that they have at Taco Bell, and they just don't have it in the location. This is like a coach chewing out the refs kind of. Same fucking thing with the cranberry Pepsi. I was like, I saw they have cranberry Pepsi. Let's get the cranberry Pepsi. They were just like we don't have it. Here's regular Pepsi It's like what the fuck are you doing?

Like just don't list it if you don't have it available in that particular location, you know what your inventory is the Colonel We're talking to you the Colonel specifically the Rob Lowe Colonel It's time for some accountability if It's the one thing you've done wrong, Rob Lowe. It's time for some accountability. If you want to be a billion dollar company and you're gonna charge us for food, then you need to be treated as like a billion dollar customer. I don't know. That's the first applause break we've had on this show.

And you know, you want to hear more applause breaks, check out Live from the Windy City, Carmen Christopher special on YouTube, available now. Every click gets me 0.002 cents. Wow. Wow. So I need you guys clicking. Windy because of the politicians. That's correct.

Yeah. I think the etymology is, I don't know exactly what it is. I've heard a few different theories. They blow wind up your ass. Yeah, I've heard that. Basically they're a full of shit. But it is also windy as hell in Chicago. That's the other thing. It is, I know, that's the thing. It maybe should just be because of the wind. So it ass. Yeah, I've heard that. Basically they were full of shit. But it is also windy as hell in Chicago. That's the other thing.

It is, I know, that's the thing. It maybe should just because of the wind. So it sticks. Yeah, it works. I think it's one of those things where there just isn't, no one knows what the actual origin is, so there's just speculation. Shout out to my girl Lori Lightfoot,

we miss you as mayor, you were funny as hell. So we're gonna pick the KFC Bowl champion, and we did obviously did our bowl tournament a few years back, Mitch, called bowl. But this is a different exercise, which we're specifically focused on. Oh, then we didn't have to do this for a bowl tournament a few years back, Mitch, called bowl, but this is a different exercise. We specifically focused on- Oh, then we didn't have to do this burp-o. Well, at all, I guess.

No, but this is good. This is specific to KFC. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And this is again, this is a huge American brand, the burp-o bowl, the NFL, and another huge American brand, the Kentucky Fried Chicken KFC. Okay, so we have-

America's back, by the way. America's back. So- Now that this is airing, can we make a America's back, by the way. America's back. So- Now that this is airing, can we make a guess on like a big, can we make a guess on a big purple food commercial? Ooh, that's kind of fun. You know what my thought is?

What's that? Subway Jared's back commercial. Wow! I would love to see a Subway Jared's back. I think they could also do a misdirect where they get a different famous Jared, and they just bring in Jared. That's the funniest commercial.

I mean, it's too funny for a brand to ever do, but Jared's back and it's a different Jared. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I don't know, is there another, is there a famous Jared? It would make me like Subway. I think I would eat Subway if they did that. That's so funny.

Jared's back and it's who is another famous Jared. That's the issue. I don't think there's, yeah, I think it would have to be Jared Leto, which is kind of funny. It would be funny to see Jared Leto in a subway commercial. Jared's back and it's Jared Leto.

He's got the big pants. It's pretty. That's good. What about a Dippin' Dots commercial and they use AI, Michael Jackson serving the Dippin' Dots commercial and they use AI, Michael Jackson serving the Dippin' Dots? That's pretty good. Bring Michael Jackson back.

Yeah, I like that one because- MJ, he's back. I like that one because I also have never seen a Dippin' Dots commercial. I don't know why Dippin' Dots isn't doing commercials. They should. Dippin' Dots are fun. They should do commercials.

Here's my opinion, everybody should have a commercial. Or Dippin' Dots ice cream of the future? The ice cream of the future, yeah they are. I also agree with you. Yeah, everyone should have a commercial. Cause I wanna see everyone's version of a commercial. I wanna see like the brokeest companies commercials. I think that we need seriousness in commercials.

We also need people to be shamed in Hollywood. Celebrities need to be shamed for doing commercials. I think that we need serious, like we need seriousness in commercials. Again, we also need people to be shamed in Hollywood. Celebrities need to be shamed for doing commercials. You know, my stance on that. Well, yeah, because they're taking work from like normal ass people. Yeah, that's the, that's the bummer because there used to be actor, this purple, which is, you know, it's, it's a, the, this, this, uh, informal American holiday where it's like the, these, the role commercial used to be a thing where a working class actor could make their year by booking a Super Bowl commercial. And now it's a sort of thing of just like,

oh, this is just a way for celebrities to get richer. Cause we're just, every ad is like Chase Bank, which two celebrities did they team up? Which IP did they do a reunion of? I remember excitedly telling my mom and dad and sister that Neil Campbell was in a Superp out role commercial one year. Do you remember that? I do remember that one.

Yeah. He was in a Bud Light burp out role commercial, which was like, you know, it was a big deal back then it was rock paper, scissors, and then Neil throws a rock at some guy's head. Oh yeah. I remember that. Whoa, that's pretty fun. He's like, yeah, he throws the rock.

Yeah. It's good. Do we know anyone else who's been in this burp out? Well, we have to know some people who do burp out role commercials. Larry good. Do we know anyone else who's been in this? We have to know some people who work in the commercial. Larry David, do we know Larry David? Do we know Larry David? I don't know.

I feel like there's like, I always like, every year I watch, I'm like, I see someone and I'm like, oh, they're in this commercial. And then like two days later, I forget. So it's like, you know, like, you know, some guy you did like UCB with that's in one of the series. Yeah, there's definitely people who are. Also did Jared do 101? Jared did UCB 101? I think Jared, yeah, I thought you and Jared were in 101 together.

I would do Mandeep for a while. I hate to be a like lamer plugger guy, but I'm in a purple commercial. Are you really? Yeah. I'm in a lamer plugger guy, but I'm in a burp-up commercial this year. Are you really? For real? Yeah, I'm in a Casper mattress commercial and I get up from the bed, I go, "'Mmm, these beds suck. "'Don't buy a bed out of a box, folks.'" So it's like, it's anti-ca...

I'm doing a joke, sorry. I'm doing a bad joke. I liked it. I was kind of making it up on the spot. I got inspired by Wayne earlier. I liked it. Yeah. We liked it.

You know what I'd like to see a burp-o-mole commercial for? Cause I feel like there's such goodwill has re-emerged for this chain. The first chain we ever reviewed on the Doughboys podcast, Chili's. I'd like to see a Chili's, like, welcome back to Chili's. Chili's has always been there for you. Come on home to Chili's. Hey, you're watching the game,

wouldn't you like to be watching it at Chili's? Give us a serious commercial. Give us a serious commercial. Nothing is serious anymore. Yeah. I like that, like, it's like, when the corporations get to be silly, that's not for you. You're not supposed to be silly.

That's like Walton Goggins, do like, or like Michael Shannon, do a deadly serious like Chili's commercial. I like that a lot. Yeah. I like that too. We're, okay, so as far as the proteins go, my issue is the Korean barbecue is pretty sweet. And I think when you have the sweetness of that,

it clashes against the mac and cheese. So like that for me was a combination that just flat out did not work, the sweetness and the cheese. Like it just, I felt like it tasted pungent. The other issue is of the bases, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and loaded fries, loaded fries are loaded with coleslaw of all things.

Who loads fries with coleslaw? But no loaded fries I've ever seen have coleslaw as the primary component. The mix of fries and coleslaw together just doesn't fucking work. I think just get rid of coleslaw in the world. I don't think we need it as a food. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh, cause you're Boston. You guys are putting coleslaw on your peepees.

You little weirdos. Is that true? You put coleslaw on your peepees? We do not put our, on our four inch wieners. We don't put them on there. Are you guys coleslaw people in Boston? Is that a thing? We do like coleslaw a little bit. What is-

It's like a good like sad to see. I just don't understand why people eat it. It's just like, anytime I see it on, I think I'm like, this is a waste of food. Why'd you make this? It depends on, here's the thing. There's a lot of, most coleslaw is really bad. I do like slaw. Most coleslaw is really bad.

So I'm with you in general. I feel like 90% of coleslaw could just be dumped into the ocean and we wouldn't miss it. There is some really good coleslaw. I feel like a really good vinegared slaw. Like if that's like, you know, like, like sometimes that can work really well. Yeah, get it out of here.

We put everything else there. Yeah. Thanks Biden. There's also certain contexts like, like certain sandwiches are enhanced by the presence of coleslaw. Like I feel like you'd get like a pastrami Reuben that's got like coleslaw on it. Yeah, he's talking.

I mean sometimes we're like, that's really, really clicking. I mess with that. Yeah. I buy that. But as like eating it by itself, like taking a fork into the school cell and putting it in your mouth, it's just like, why am I eating paper that's wet?

I mostly don't need it. KFC's coleslaw, I don't think is anything notable. I think it kinda sounds honestly. And while we're talking, those fries were awful. Bad fries. Those were the worst fries I've ever had. Bad fries. Look, I'll say this, when we were talking

about this episode, we were talking about all the bowl, we decided to get every bowl Wags, which I thought was a great call. I said, okay, I said, okay, today slaps. That's what I said on the text chat. Well, that was also when we were gonna get the cranberry Pepsi, which we did not get. Which we didn't get the cranberry Pepsi,

very, a very sad thing. Why even tease it? I don't know. I don't, we, it's the Colonel's to blame. I don't know, I don't get, I feel like KFC always fucks this up. I think it's Yum Brands. They fuck it up, Taco Bell fucks it up. I don't, we, it's the Colonel's to blame. I don't know, I don't get, I feel like KFC always fucks this up. I think it's Yum Brands. They fuck it up, Taco Bell fucks it up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, it was disappointing to me, but I was very excited to try these loaded fry. Look, how can you go wrong? Cheese, French fries, chicken? Well, that's what I thought we were getting. The only thing it's missing is that peanut that was on that flag.

Hey, holy smokes. It was a delicious peanut. I don't know if I ate it. Maybe I didn't eat out of fear. I think I maybe did eat. Anyways. Chicken, fries, cheese. Sounds awesome.

And then my fries are eliminated. The fry bowls are eliminated first. None of those worked. I thought they were all just run. Awful. They were really bad. Was it like coleslaw on fries just make for like super soggy fries?

Yes. Emma, yes. That's part of why the fries were actually horrible. When I dumped them out, and it was like fries but covered in like coleslaw juice, I was like, ugh. I just lost it. And there was like bugs in mine. There were more bugs in mine.

Dude, there were bugs in mine too. There was like bugs in yours. It was weird. There was like 30 bugs in mine. I don't know what it was. I was like, eat it. I was like, this is fucking nasty. I'm notice the bugs in yours? It was weird. There was like 30 bugs in mine. I was like, eat it. I was like, this is fucking nasty. I'm eating the bugs?

Why am I eating all these bugs? I was like, I ate like three of the fries. I was like, these are definitely bugs. And then to make sure I ate three more. And I was like, yeah, I just ate three more bugs. It was crazy. I brought up the menu to look at it and it does say loaded with KFC's original fries, coleslaw, and lots of bugs.

So I think that's the, it's maybe a skill issue on our part. It's like, I didn't know there were bugs at first because there were so many types of different bugs. So I was like, oh, I don't know. Maybe it's just like the, like maybe KFC is just, they just have a bunch of shit they put in the bubble. It was almost impressive on many different types of bugs were there.

And then like, there was like one ladybug, which I thought was cute actually. I had set him free. The ladybug was good. That's really sweet of you. Yeah. You set your ladybug free? Yeah which I thought was cute actually I said I'm free the ladybug was Yeah, you said your ladybug free yeah, I took him outside and I said like have a good life Can KFC sue us for saying there's bugs in their food? Um because I never got sued yeah, because if I would like for them to come in because right now We're having fun, but if you come at me, I release the videos with the bugs in it So don't even dare don't even dare come at me

So we're safe right now we're having fun, I think don't turn it into a thing unless you want it to be I There were a lot of weird bugs in mine I had a scarab beetle in mine That's why I can crunch it down like emotep. I had a gold scarab. Thought that would get a laugh out of you. 1999s, well, I guess emotep is older than the mummy from 1998 or. No, I just thought I was taking you seriously. Oh, well, I did. I chomped it down like emotep.

I had a, actually, this one people definitely like. There was actually a gold scarab in mine. Did you chop it down like emotep? No, because it led me to Treasure, like in Edgar Allen Poe's famous story, I had a actually this I mean this one people definitely like there was actually a gold scarab in mine Did you chop it down like you know? Because it led me to treasure like an edgar allen poe's famous story the gold bug That's cool. It led you to treasure. Yeah, you drop it through the eye of a skull And it it leads you to buried treasure captain captain kid's famous treasure We've all read the short story the gold bug by edgar Allan Poe. Why did you find a skull in this video? I would love to read this.

Oh, it's in the woods and on an island in South Carolina. Did the scarab just walk into Jake and Amir's office? They're the CEOs, they're rich. That's what I'm saying. All right, here we go. Wow, okay. Am I in trouble? No, no.

No, people don't like CEOs anymore. Yeah. Hands off, Jake and Amir. I'm not talking to you, Mangione. Yeah. You better not touch Jake and Amir. Yeah, that whole Luigi thing is conflicting because growing up, I always wanted to be a CEO

and now I'm just like, oh, maybe it's not cool anymore. Yeah. So now I'm staying away from my CEO adventures. Here's what I will say, the mashed potatoes bases and the mac and cheese bases, I could eat all day. I do like the KFC mac and cheese. I think it's good mush, even though it's not really like actual, you know,

there's better mac and cheese, obviously, but for fast food mac and cheese, I think it's pretty damn good. I also love their mashed potatoes. I have a sauce to add for their mashed potatoes. Can I go crazy here and just eliminate one competitor out of the Super Bowl? I wanna eliminate the Korean barbecue chicken.

I'm not gonna, I don't think we should eliminate, well, actually maybe, yeah. Cause like, if we're eliminating loaded fries, Korean barbecue is not available on mashed potatoes. And I think Korean barbecue and mac and cheese decidedly did not work. So maybe it's just out. Korean barbecue is out.

Why is it not available on mashed potatoes? I don't understand that at all. It's nonsense. And it would have been fun to try on mashed potatoes. I don't understand that at all. It's no-one's sense. And it would have been fun to try it on mashed potatoes. The potato and gravy would have cut it. I feel like the mashed potatoes with chicken in a bowl is like KFC's been, that's been a thing forever. It's just more fuckery from young brands.

They are always pulling this kind of shit. Just arbitrary. Rob Lowe, Colonel, what are you doing? I could eat a bucket of those mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes are great. A big old bucket. Wonderful. One of those big old buckets you put down

when you got a leak in your house. Fill that thing with mashed potatoes in the leak water. I'm eating that thing. I don't give a shit. If there's a little bit of, if there's like a couple inches of the leak water, but there's the KFC mashed potatoes in it, I'm gonna eat the mashed potatoes still.

I'm sorry. That's how good the mashed potatoes are. I'll eat it with leak water. That's, I agree with you. I'm not thrilled to be eating the leak water, but I'm gonna be sucking it all down. I don't want to eat the leak water. I'm just saying like they had a leak at the KFC.

It got into the mashed potatoes. You know, it's like that decision you make when you're eating a sandwich and there's a little piece of hair in it. Do you keep eating the sandwich? The sandwich was really good. You know, I keep eating the mashed potatoes with the leak water.

I'm doing it. I will definitely say leak water in any event would be preferable to the bugs we were given. And look, if I got an order and it was just the leak water, yeah, I'd eat it. I would be thrilled about it. I would be happy about it. If there was a little bit of pee in the, in the mashed

potatoes, I would, I would probably not eat it, but I, but I would maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe we'd eat a little bit. Leak water is on, pee is, makes it like a little bit of pee. I think what's happening is that you realize a leek is a toilet main, and then someone up there didn't realize that the toilet was out and they tried to use it, so like a little bit of pee got into the bucket.

Okay, can I just, for a timeout, for a second, we're allowed to take timeouts, the theme is purple. Yeah, of course. So, you know, in theme, we're talking Chicago food, but Devil in the White City is being said to be made. By Scorsese. By Scorsese with DiCaprio. I wanna be in this.

Me too. So you do too. Yeah, please. Okay, so we both wanna be, can we get in trouble for saying that we wanna eat pea with mashed potatoes? Can we get canceled? No. I don't think so. Okay, so I'll do it,

cause I wanna be in that movie. I just don't wanna to get kicked out because this you said you don't want to You would but you don't want you don't want to yeah Well, I think you're in the you don't want to eat the pea but like you would I might but I don't know But I probably wouldn't I don't think you would get in trouble for eating pea. I don't think you get canceled I don't think it's not my pea. It's KFC peed in it. Like one of the employees had a bad day Yeah, he peed in the bucket of mashed potatoes, served it to me, and now I'm stuck with this decision. I spent four bucks on mashed potatoes.

There's pee in it, but I'm hungry and these taste good. And the peas, this guy's healthy. So in this scenario, you were like, hey, sorry, I didn't get my mashed potatoes. And the guy's like, yeah, one second. And then you see him like zip up and then like scoop some out for you So you like know he peed in it You're not like tasting it and being like this kind of tastes like pee

Like then also that guy's like man I've drink I drank like like more than I've over drank over ten glass of water today Yeah, I worked out right so you know that like it's like good quality pee. Yeah. Yeah, okay. You know it's good So yeah, it's like clear pee, it's not even yellow. So it's like clear pee. I'm trying to object to clear pee. I mean, is clear piss even piss? It's just water basically.

It's water basically. All we're saying is these mashed potatoes are so good that if there's pee in them, we might eat them. That's, that is the truth. And if there's bugs in them, we might eat them. Chicago Bear Grylls. We already ate the bugs. What did you say?

We already ate the bugs. What did you say? We already ate the bugs. I said the Chicago Bear Grylls. Oh, I love that. Wow, that's a good pun. Are you at UCB as well? No. That's an SNL audition character.

Yeah, that's really good. An audition character. Devil in the White City, I bounced off of that book. I read some of it years ago. Oh, you liked it? No, I mean, turn her off. Devil in the White City, I bounced off of that book. I read some of it years ago. No, I mean, that was interesting. I just like, it is one though I'm like, you see Suar Shazi's adaptation of Killers of Fire Moon and I did read that book and it's a great book,

but it's like such an impressive feat to turn that book into that movie. Cause you read it and it does not lend itself easily to an adaptation. So Devil in the White City is similar to something like I, from what I read of it, is like that feels like a tough thing to adapt, but I mean, I trust what says to pull it off. Well, it's interesting because it is like, it is two separate stories happening as once where you're like- I never read it.

It's really, I mean, I liked it a lot. It's a good audio book if you want to do audio books. Ooh, I like audio books. That's fun. Yeah, it's really, okay. That's all. I loved it a lot. It's a good audio book if you want to do audio books. Ooh, I like audio books. That's fun. Yeah, it's really, okay. That's all. I loved it. You got some crickets here, you can put them on your Polish sausage.

That's Chicago Bear Grillers. That's good. That's good. I think that could have got me on the fucking show if I'd done it a few years back. They love, you know, all jokes aside, we're talking about bugs. Go down to Mexico City, there's grasshoppers, aside. We're talking about bugs. Yeah, go down to Mexico City

There's grasshoppers crickets. Oh, yeah types of bugs. They're so fucking good well the way that they make the crickets is do you guys know this they put them in a bag of Tortillas the crickets eat the tortillas and then so then when they bake them, they're really like they taste like fucking nuts They taste like I did not know salty So like you eat them and you're like, this is a great snack. You have it while you're drinking your beer, while you're having your mezcal. And the protein density is so much like more efficient than like a steak or anything.

Yeah, I've never been to Mexico city, but I have had like Chapulines, which I don't know if that's grasshoppers, but yeah, or crickets, but I have had that before. And yeah, I think like a crunchy bug, I'm all in on. For me, it's just like a chewy, a mealy bug. I don't need like a worm. Like a worms to me are kind of gross.

Yeah, I don't fuck with worms. I fuck with grasshoppers and crickets. I ate a scorpion out there though too. Whoa, what was that like? It was honestly just like super like crunchy and I was kind of just doing it for the gram. You know what I mean? Taking a video for some, and then I accidentally,

no, they take the stinger off. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, like, yeah. You don't want the stinger. Amelia's dad's name is Scorpion. Yeah. Really? He, like, Tiger Weiger over here gave himself

his own nickname, Scorpion. Does he have a scorpion tattoo? Yeah, that's why he got it. That's the same thing that happened with Weiger. That's right. So I will say this, and I think this is maybe like a pretty, I mean, this is the most basic opinion you could have. Is the original Famous Bowl just the winner here?

The original protein on top of mashed potatoes. There's something you like more than that. They're the Kansas City Chiefs going into this bad boy. Yeah. But I don't know if they're the, I don't know if they are the, by the way, I went to Pujol down in Mexico City. Okay.

And it's like a great restaurant. And there was like Aunt Larva. I like ate a bunch of different stuff that I never thought, cause bugs do gross me out. I remember when I was younger too, like seeing those tequila lollipops that had like a fly in the middle of them and stuff like that. And like the idea of like a bug,

or no, it had a little worm in it. That's an on a fly little worm. But the idea of eating bugs kind of like grossed me out. But at Bujol, it was one of the best meals of my life. It was fantastic. If we ever get to Mexico City again, Bujol, fantastic restaurant. I should go, I wanna go.

You should go. Doughboy's Mexico City. I'm not going for fucking Doughboy's. All right, that's fair. I actually, I agree with you. Yeah. We shouldn't, we should not. Okay, so you say that's the Kansas City Chiefs

going into this contest. I think that they are kind of the Kansas City Chiefs. So it's a classic combo. Nashville hot chicken on top of mashed potatoes. No, no, just the regular bowl. The non, the non. So that's not your pick. That's not my pick.

Can I put up something for elimination right now? Yeah, please. And this also felt kind of like a chiefs or Patriots type of player of team going into this competition, the chicken pot pie. We also did get a chicken pot pie, which we haven't noticed. I thought the chicken, I haven't noted yet. The chicken pot pie, I think is the closest

of any of these to being like real food. I don't mean that even in an insulting way to anything, but it's just like, this resembles like a meal that I've had outside of the context of actually. But unfortunately, I'm gonna put them up for elimination right now. I think they got eliminated. I think it's a decent pot pie,

but there's no reason for me to ever order it from KFC versus all the other stuff. I was eating these bowls, going in, loving it. And then- You almost didn't even want a bite of the Popeye. Mitch was basically, you gotta try it. It's part of the competition. I take a bite and I go, oof,

and I went right back into the bowls. I would love to put it up for elimination as well. Yeah, all right, let's get it out of here. That's gone. The chicken Popeye is gone. For me, it was the Nashville Hot, famous bowl or mashed potato bowl and the mac and cheese. Those are my two finals in the Super Bowl.

Well, so here's the thing. I love the Nashville. I do like the Nashville Hot. I am a bit of a heat seeker, so I like things with some spice to them. I really thought that that was going to be my winner going in. My issue is I kind of felt like that plus the mac and cheese,

again, it was the issue of the Korean barbecue, but less pronounced because it's heat versus sweet. It was kind of unga-pachka just having so much sauce. Like I feel like you're getting so much goop from the mac and cheese base and the mashed potatoes base that the original recipe actually is a better contrast versus like something that's coated Like I feel like you're getting so much goop from the mac and cheese base and the mashed potatoes base that the original recipe actually is a better contrast versus like something that's coated with some other sauce.

You know what I mean? It's just like extra goo. Not that it's not flavorful, but I honestly felt like it was a little too much. I think that's fascinating. Yeah. Where are your leanings? I'm leaning, so when we're talking about chicken

and you're going sweet versus hot. I always go hot Hell yeah, personally chicken you want that shit hot. Hell. Yeah Also when I'm going mac and cheese verse mashed potatoes I'm always like my brain always is like thinking it's gonna be mac and cheese, but the winner is 100% of the time mashed potatoes. Yeah, I think that's fair and it's like you cuz you could have like There's something about mac and cheese, like you think you're gonna want a bunch of it, but after like three spoonfuls, you're like, I did this.

I'm done with this. And mashed potatoes, I can eat a bucket with leak water and piss. And I want more of it. So for me, I know my winner and I won't say it yet, unless that's what you guys want. No, I think that's well said. So for me, I know my winner, and I won't say it yet unless that's what you guys want. I think that's well said. I just, you know.

That's another, that was, he- Yeah. Thanks guys, I'm on my game today. I'm from the Windy City on YouTube. The thing, just Leakwater is just making me think of the film, A Different Man, there's a great leaky bucket thing in that. Oh yeah.

You see A Different Man? Yeah, of course, of course. I love The Different Man. My two favorite movies this year were The Apprentice and The Different Man. there's a great leaky bucket thing in that. You see what you see? You see different man? Love The Different Man. My two favorite movies this year were The Apprentice and The Different Man. Dude, The Apprentice was so good. The Apprentice was great. The Apprentice was great. The Apprentice is my favorite movie of the year.

It's my favorite, I love it. I think The Apprentice, yeah, I think it might, I liked The Apprentice, Substance, Brutalist, those are my three favorite. But now what do you think of that second half of The Brutalist? People really didn't fuck with it, huh? I love the first half.

Like it was like one of these things where I was like, oh my God, it's the best movie of the year. And then the second half, I was like, oh my God. First half in the lobby during intermission, I've said this before on the podcast, I was like, I think I might have a new favorite movie. And then the second half lost me a little bit. I think it just kind of made the subtext text,

but I still overall admire the movie. It's still in my top 10 of the year. That's fair. You know what though? My intermission was like a full day later. I watched it in pieces. Wow. Interesting. Because I was also like, I honestly didn't think I was going to like fuck with it at all. I'm not a big Adrian Brody guy. And then I start watching the first half and I'm watching it and I'm looking at it and I'm like, this might be the best acting performance I've ever seen. He was killing it. He was like I'm

not even like I don't really even know his work that well I was just like for some reason I was just like I don't know what is this movie gonna be about like but and the first half loved it. Turned that shit off to the next day got late then watched the second half and was so excited about the first half that I enjoyed the second half too but you know I know a lot of people got beef with the second half. It's still in my top 10 movies. It's staggering treatment.

But the second half made it from like my number one to like my 10th. I still like it though. Wow, 10th? I mean, 10th is maybe extreme. Where's substance in there for you guys? Substance is somewhere in my top 10. Substance is in my top 10 as well.

Top 10, did you guys see Nickel Boys? I did see Nickel Boys. I liked it, yeah. That was just so sad. That was devastating. It's a similar sort of feeling to The Brutalist for me, which is just like, I am very impressed by this movie. This is a staggering achievement.

The POV stuff was a little bit hard to follow at times. That's why I haven't done it yet. Yeah, it does become a little bit hard to track, it's a little disorienting, but it's just like such a choice. That's why I haven't done it yet. It's a little, yeah, it does become a little bit hard to track, it's a little disorienting, but it's just such a choice that it's like, man, this is filmmaking. I did like it. Like I liked it a lot, but I was like,

and a couple times I was like, I feel like I would almost be better connected if I can see them connected in a way. It was weird, it was interesting. I thought it was a cool choice. I admire the commitment to the gimmick throughout, but yeah, it maybe kind of is, I don't know. It's a lot to wrap your head around.

We were saying the actress in The Apprentice should have been nominated for... Oh, she's in ProWrap? For supporting actor. She did a great job. Yeah, she was on my side. I think Jeremy Strong should definitely beat Karen Culkin in the, I haven't even seen him.

Great performance with Jeremy Strong. Jeremy Strong is so good. He's so good. I think Kieran Culkin is very good. I liked A Real Pain, but it's, I don't know if it's in my top 10, but I like it. I haven't seen it. I'm just pissed that everyone's calling it a comedy.

I don't know, is it a comedy? Oh, no. It's got some jokes in it, but no, it's like a comedy in the way that anything is a comedy these days. I mean, there's just like, how many hard comedies were there? How many hard comedies were there last year? Like we were talking about, I was like,

was Thelma the like best comedy of the year? Very good movie. I loved Thelma. But it's like, how many are there? Like here's a comedy with jokes. This is existing primarily to be, to make people laugh. It just isn't something that gets made theatrically anymore. Also Sebastian Stan.

A different man, one of the funniest movies of the year. Two different, different man is one of the funniest movies. Two totally different movies, killed it two totally different ways. I don't know, I didn't, I never, I never, I didn't know much about Sebastian Stan beforehand. I've seen him in stuff, of course, but I was like, damn, he's fucking great.

His transformation from like, naive Trump into like, the monster by the end, you're just like, how did he do that? It was great. That was crazy. It's great. A different man, and, yeah, kind of belongs on Hog Island in that movie. There is. He's going down to four inches in an afterlife. There is hog in a different man.

A man, by the way, a man wearing a mask. It's like your perfect scenario, a man wearing a mask showing hog. It was very eyes wide shut, there was very, it was very... It's a wild scene. Eyes wide shut, speaking of, uh, what is it? Didn't someone say Fidelio? Fidelio, yeah, we got that up top in the roast. The, the, the, just since we got in the movie conversation, and not to belabor this, but, but, you know,

the films in my top ten that have not been mentioned, I'll just touch on real quick. One, Casey Dooneyhue, Dune Part II, is definitely somewhere in my top ten. Look Back, I think is my favorite film of the year, is anime, it's fantastic, it's so incredibly human. And two other ones which are, oh, Hard Truths, the Mike Lee film, with Mary Ann John-Baptiste,

which I think is the single best acting performer of the year, she's absolutely fucking incredible. Everyone should watch that movie, I saw it twice. Hey, yeah, I wanted to see that. It's so fucking good, and then it got shut out of the awards, and that her in particular got shut out of the awards is insane. I gotta see it still.

Just a dereliction of duty from everyone who's a you know tastemaker But hey you were on the nominated committee fucked up. I fucking had her on my ballot bitch. No one listen to me You didn't try hard enough No hardcore no no hardcore shit on your list is here I know yeah, I didn't put I didn't include any hardcore porno on my sag aftra nominees The other things that Lucas the Lucas two films, Challengers and Queer, I love both of those. I haven't seen Challengers yet either.

Challengers is quite a sell. I've seen Queer. Yeah, Queer I liked a lot. The filmmaking is really cool. It's really cool. Also, I didn't know until the end of the movie that that was Jason Schwartzman. Yeah, isn't it great performance?

Man, he's on a fucking heater. That was really like, he has a lot of prosthetics on, but I was just also just like, I didn't know it was him. You still sometimes figure that out, but also like, dude, I don't wanna spoil anything, so, but I'll just say this without spoiling it. That scene where Daniel Craig fucking shoots up and just sits and it just sits with that,

I think it was a Nirvana song for like two minutes. It's like so sad. I'm like the commitment to like just sitting there. The filmmaking is so, I like that movie. I like that movie a lot. I like Luke Lai. He just fucking makes choices. And yeah, I thought the movie was awesome.

The closest I got to, oh well, just the closest I got to seeing Queer, I went to, I was supposed to meet Ben Rogers at the movie theater at the Vista. And I went there and I got to, The love it was, Oh good. Oh well, just the closest I got to seeing Queer, I went to, I was supposed to meet Ben Rogers at the movie theater at the Vista. That's right. And I went there and I was like, my friend Ben left a ticket here and Queer was playing at the Vista

and Ben was not, who was at, what's the theater? Different location. New Beverly. He was at the New Beverly. And they're like, we don't know what you're talking about. And I kind of just like, was like, I'll call him when I just ran away. I ran, I had to run away.

I didn't know what else to do. It was very awkward. So funny. Yeah. So you didn't watch anything. I didn't watch anything, I went home. And he was like, where the hell did you go? So he watched the movie alone.

And from their perspective, from the Vista, a guy in a Tom Brady jersey walked up, saw that the movie Queer was playing and ran away. We talked about how it looked probably really bad from their perspective. Was he doing like a prank video? I was not doing a prank video for anyone who's working at the Vista that day when I looked very confused. Casey, one of your favorites of the year too though, isn't it?

Queer? Queer? Oh yeah, Queer and Challenger. The fact that he made both of those, both of them came out in the same year, that was so impressive. It's like Sebastian Stan. It's like if those performances come out in consecutive years, he maybe gets two nominations in a row.

Because they come out in the same year, it's like kind of splits the vote. And the same thing happened with Lucas. But both those movies are fucking great. Yeah. Anyway, hey, that was a good break. That was a good, you know what? Like there's new movie previews during the spur bubble.

So that's- Oh, that's true. So's new movie previews during the Super Bowl. So that's- Oh, that's true. So this kind of works in a lot of ways. The movies that come out at the beginning of the year are usually bad, right? Good movies don't come out the beginning of the year. I didn't see Flight Risk yet. I want to.

It's fun. It's like a very B movie. It's not good, but it is fun. Any predictions on what movie trailers we're gonna see? I think they're gonna show Amelia Paris 2. Wow. That should be fun. Just going off the awards buzz,

they're gonna crank out a sequel real quick. Yeah, yeah. That's quick to tell. Yeah. That's good. I'm hoping for the Deer Hunter 2 trailer. Oh yeah, we'll wait for that. That's gonna be good. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Cause they still got their de-aging Voight,

which will be an interesting choice. Yeah. And then he's going back for one last game. Yeah. Yeah. Because they still got their de-aging void, which will be an interesting choice. Yeah. Yeah. And then he's going back for one last game of Russian roulette. Yeah. Yeah. I heard that there's gonna be. It's a dear 100 too. One last game of Russian roulette. It's a meaty subtitle, kind of a mouthful. I heard that they're gonna do Indiana Jones meets Matlock 2. Oh, wow. They've already greenlit a sequel. Yeah, yeah. This is the thing we've talked about. Indiana Jones meets Matlock.

They're gonna do a sequel. I love that. They meet again. They meet again, it says. You know how they've been doing all these Marvel crossover movies? I'm like, let's do some rock star biopic crossovers. Let's get a Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan movie.

That would be fun. That is fun. They kinda do it Springsteen Bob Dylan movie. That would be fun. That is fun. They kind of do it with the fucking Bob Dylan movie because there is Johnny Cash's in that and it's almost like, it's the same director. It's like, I kind of almost just wish they'd gotten Joaquin, Johnny Cash and just have it be a full crossover. They're gonna start doing that shit.

They absolutely are, yeah. They really are. What day does this episode come out? This comes out in the first week in February. Oh, the first week in February. They absolutely are, yeah. They really are. What day does this episode come out? This comes out the first week in February. Oh, the first week in February. Yeah. February 6th.

All right. Why? Who's the kid that- No reason. Who's the guy that played Elvis? What's that guy's name? Austin Butler. Austin Butler.

No, the Sofia Coppola one. Oh, yes, yes, yes. That guy's good. That's a good performance. He's in Euphoria. Yeah, I forgot his name. He's also in, he hosted us in Elvis past season. Jacob Elordi?

Oh yes, yes, yeah, that gets good. So he played Elvis, right? Who would you guys rather see play Elvis, him or me? I'd love to see your Elvis. I'd love to see your Elvis. I gotta work on it, but I, my mom's neighbor's 90 year old woman who couldn't see well used to tell me I look like Elvis.

So I'm like, maybe I should be playing Elvis. I love it. I would like to see it. You know, so look out. Look out. I love that. I hope it happens. See you later, Elordi.

Look out. You had your shots. So I got devil in the white city coming in the new Elvis. Yeah, you can add devil in the white city to our IMDB if you want to. Jason Schwartzman, the film, I was trying to think of what it was I meant to mention. I was trying to pull the title.

A film I didn't like love the movie overall, but he is so good in it and is Between the Temples. His performance is actually good. It's a good movie from last year. Between the Temples, I haven't seen it. Yeah, it's worth seeing just for him. I've seen Indiana Jones' Temple of Doom. Is it like that? Yeah, is it between one of those temples? I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it.

I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it.

I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it.

I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. just eliminating mac and cheese. Is our winner going to be on mashed potatoes? Hell yeah, though. So mac and cheese is out there. So where it's down to-

I do think that the mac and cheese was- I like the mac and cheese. I do think the mac and cheese was good. Carmen was saying this and he was like, these are so good at having so much fun. I was like, this is good and I am having fun. I was enjoying them. The fries were the one thing that I was like,

these are bad. The fries were bad. Part of the issue with the mac and cheese is you're really just getting mac and cheese and the protein versus like the more, the mac and cheese is you're really just getting mac and cheese and the protein versus like the more the classic famous bowl composition is you are getting potatoes, corn, not that I'm the biggest fan of just loose corn niblets, but it's in there. It's some textural, textural variants, gravy and cheese. So it's like, it's like a bunch of different components you can kind of have in different configurations as well as the

protein on top. So we got the original recipe or the Nashville hot on top of mashed potatoes. I lean original recipe, but Nashville hot, I'd have no problem with brownies. This is your super bowl. I know we can't say it. Wait, should we just say, what is the thing we're gonna say instead?

Say it 1,000 times. What is it? Burpo bowl. Oh, the burpo bowl. The burpo bowl. The burpo bowl. Whoever's editing this together. By the way, I don't like,

we don't usually solicit fan art, but I think a nice bit of wholesome fan art, if anyone wants to do, would be Mitch and I and Carmen in the afterlife, and we've all got equal size four inch hogs, and also a Pikachu is there. I love that. Yeah. That's awesome.

And Pikachu also has a four inch hog. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can Pikachu, I a four inch heart. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can Pikachu, I want his to be just a little bit bigger than ours, but I know it's heaven. We gotta go by the rules of heaven. We gotta go by the rules. Pikachu's small, so a four inch heart on Pikachu is gonna look giant.

Yeah, it's gonna look big on him. It is gonna look big on him. And if it's a picture of us in heaven, I wanna have teeth in my ears. I know that's gross, but that's just that's what he wants Yeah, that's the angel thing. You can you can do you can do I want to be able to eat out of my mouth in my ears Okay, this is weird. You guys everyone's being weird now. Everybody got weird In heaven you can hear food. That's pretty cool. That is pretty cool I mean kind of you can kind of hear it here. I guess

But you can but you can kind of hear it here, I guess. You can hear it now. Yeah, you can hear it now. But you can really hear it in heaven. Yeah, you can really hear it. You can really hear it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, Vikes, we got our two finalists in the soup, in the burpo bowl. No, you know what I'm saying?

You know you can really hear the sizzling fajitas at Chili's. It's true. Imagine if you like, a commercial starts and it's just like we slow dissolve up from black and we're just the sizzle of a fajitas platter. And then we're just hearing Michael Shannon come in talking about that.

Oh, you've switched now. You don't wanna be what's his name from the shield. Well, I pitched either. It could be Walton Goggins. One of those, whoever's available. I love Walton Goggins. I mean, they're both great actors. It's an actor with real gravitas.

It's Carmen Christopher. And they're telling you- As Elvis? It's Carmen Christopher as Elvis. Somebody's gotta do it. Hey, these, the fajitas are sizzling out. Feel that sound, that sounds like a miracle. Come on home to Chili's. Good voice.

Will you use your voice in my moves. I'm gonna go. I did. It does seem like it could have been a Chili's commercial and whatever when Elvis was still alive. The two finalists here. I think he, I think, wow, that's wild. Cause Elvis would have loved Chili's.

I think he died before Chili's was founded. No, no. I got a good Chili joke. Taking it from Bae- Bae's kids animated movie from the 90s. Yeah, what is it? Your mama's so stupid, we said it was chili outside, she went outside with a spoon and a bowl.

That is really good. That's pretty good. Hey, you know what? Bae Bae's killed. Elvis died two years after Chili's was founded, so he could have gone. It's possible he went to Chili's. Yes!

That's wild to think about. Yes! That might have been what he was shitting out on the toilet, maybe that's why he died. Chili's. Yes. That's wild to think about. It might have been his legs. That might have been what he was shitting out on the toilet. Maybe that's why he died. Chili's. Chili's fault. Chili's killed him. Chili's killed Elvis.

I'm gonna sit in my cafe. Wawawaw, baby, back, baby, back, baby, back, baby, back, baby, back, baby, back, baby, back, baby, back, baby, back. Amelia, he was definitely dead before that commercial. Which is like 1994, 93? When was that? I don't know. He might've wrote it though.

You know, some of Tupac's music didn't come out until like 10 years after he died. Same with Biggie. Oh yeah, yeah. So. Yeah, that's a good point. I think the National Hot is very tasty. And I think the original recipe is also,

it's a classic for a reason. You know, I think they both work. I kind of lean original recipe, but I think we just need to render a verdict here. I mean, should we say in unison what we think should win? I don't want to politicize this, but were these bulls invented during Biden's administration or Trump's administration? They were invented under George W. Bush's administration. Hell yeah, dude! The good old days, bro! 2006. Can you imagine if we got Bush,

we'd all be partying in the streets. Can you imagine? I think everybody would be happy with Bush right now. I mean, Bush is back. I think Bush is back. Bush is back. This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. Mitch, new year, new you, what do you want your 2025 story to be?

Ooh, overtime's purple. Ooh, that would be a fun year. We're about to enter overtime. We're at overtime right now. What makes you say they're at overtime? We were 51 minutes. Oh, okay, I get what you're saying. Yeah, sure. The fuck?

We're in overtime. Got it. Overtime with this purple. Yeah. The Pats did it. First ones to do it. Is that true? Wow. That's right. Okay, so we need to render a verdict here.

Also tip my cap to Bay Bay and his children. They're funny. They're really, they're really good. Bay Bay's kids are funny. Bay Bay's kids are fucking funny. Okay, so should we, Mitch, should we do this like we do a tournament episode? Should we downtown from three to one

and then say in unison what we think should win? I've already said what I think should win. Yes, so I guess it is just. It's down to you two. Okay, but you can. But I'll say it anyway. What's yours? I'm going original. No, you can be should win. Yes, so I guess it is just, it's down to you two. Carmen and I, okay, but you can- But I'll say it anyway. What's yours? I'm going original recipe.

No, you can be the ref. Ooh, interesting. And we'll say that we'll say our worst. Okay, so I'll count it down and whatever your verdict is, if you agree with each other, then it's Nashville. If you agree with, if one of you or both of you agree with me, then it's original recipe. I will count down from three to one, say in unison

what you think your winner is on top of mashed potatoes. Three, two, one. Nashville hot chicken mashed potatoes. Wow, congrats to Nashville hot on top of mashed potatoes, the winner of the Super Bowl for KFC. Second place goes to the Bugs. The Bugs were bussin'. And third place goes to the bucket of leak water with a small amount of pee.

Yeah. What is your fork score? If you have to go out of five forks for KFC, not just based off this experience, but overall. That's a really great question. I'm three forks for KFC. I think Mitch is four forks. I'm not sure if your score changes after that.

I went up to four forks. KFC is, they're so tricky. I just think there's better fried chicken out there. Like I'd rather get fried chicken from Vons or Albertsons, which are two grocery stores out here. I just think it's better fried chicken out there. I'd rather get fried chicken from Vons or Albertsons, which are two grocery stores out here. I just think it's better. Albertsons fried chicken is hitting. So my mom used to get the fried chicken

from like Jewel, Osco. It's a very Chicago grocery store. Yeah. So like that's, you know what I mean? Like we were never going anywhere fancy. We weren't going to KFC. Like if we were eating fast food, we're eating McDonald's.

We're old school. You know what I mean? We're classic. But so it is like grocery store fried chicken is really good sometimes. Love grocery store fried chicken. I'd take it over KFC, but also like just among the chicken chains, I feel like Popeyes is better.

There aren't a lot of churches out here, but I think churches is generally better. And I just- Look, a lot of it's nostalgia based for me. 100%. And I do, but I do think KFC is a place where, as much as I still like their core components, I still think their biscuits are hitting,

I like their mashed potatoes, I like their original recipe, I do feel like you've seen the steady decline of that place from its specialness to a place that's just squeezing a little bit more dollars out of every menu item. Mike, our video editor, Mike Dorfman, can we have like a brown confetti falling right now

for the end of the super bowl? That'd be sick. That would be sick. I think, you know, here's the thing is when you're rating these things, are you rating them based off of like all food in the world or fast food chain? I'm usually, it's personal to you.

Tell them the dough boys thing. The dough boys, the kind of the mission statement of this podcast is how does it live up to its own expectations? How does it live up to the promise of its own premise? What is it as a like for me? For what it's trying to be. For what it's trying to be, is it achieving that?

Like that's one reason why a place like the Cheesecake Factory, I think is outstanding at being the Cheesecake Factory. And so for me, that's a five fork chain. They are doing exactly what they're trying to accomplish. And this is trying to be like corporate slop, honestly, in a lot of ways. So.

Okay, wow. So corporate slop, I mean, then I honestly think this is, going for what they're going for, I think they're a four out of five. Four fork chain, okay, very good score. Because it's just a bunch of shit in a bowl. It's like so sloppy. I literally ate and went and took a shit

and came and did a podcast. Like we ate, like I was like, how much time do I have Mitch? Plenty of time, they're setting up, squeezed out one real quick. They would never even have known if you didn't say it. Well, they gotta know. And now, you know, first thing I do when I get home,

it's gonna be another, you know, I got a bidet, I got my girlfriend and my mom went on a Christmas gift. They got me one of those toilet seats that's also a bidet. Yeah, I love that. I don't know, I guess they spent like $300 on it and it's like heated and it cleans your ass really nice. And I looked at my mom and my girlfriend's text chain. I was like, this is a weird gift to get me.

And they, my mom said, she goes, she goes, I don't know much about them, but I hear that you can get an infection from them. He still has to wipe. And... Shhh. That's still, you're like, what? Of course you still wipe, yeah.

My mom's crazy. And then my girlfriend goes, yeah, yeah, he'll still have to wipe. And then my mom responded, he better wipe. I'm like, you guys, this is the most embarrassing gift I've ever gotten you guys are talking about me wiping I'm a grown-ass man who's taking care of myself. Come on moms get very they get they're on the offense about wiping since you're babe You know, they were This guy understands mom and and moms and women that's

This guy understands mom and moms and women. That is true. Mitch understands moms and women. We both got Toto Washlet's, Wags and I. Yeah, I like the Toto, yeah. The Toto's nice. Oh, see, I don't know my brand. Should I find out my brand? It might be a Toto.

I feel like that's kind of like the dominant brand. It's like life changing. It's like, do you know how much time guys spend wiping, you guys, a long time? The day, in and out, baby. It's like, it's so crazy that America's just getting onto bidets. So if you're gonna get KFC, sleep over at a friend's house

who's got a bidet. Clean that ass properly. I agree with that 100%. I will say that this is a thing, this is one of many reasons I don't really love travel, especially the bidet now. And I was like, I'm so used to my home toilet. I'm so used to the presence of that cleanliness

that I get, that cleansing feeling from that stream of warm water, that when I go on the road, I get a wipe with toilet paper like a fucking animal. Like what's going on here? Have you guys ever been on the bidet and the water goes so perfectly up your asshole that shoots out Your mouth yes, yeah, that is that is really sad thing That's the only thing that I'm like the cleanup takes forever when that happens

I like call another friend and who's going on my quick you can like I'll wash out your asshole with my... What? If they get in there quick enough... Quick! Quick! Quick! Hurry up! Your water's coming out of your mouth while you're yelling quick! Are you sticking with four forks or are you going to amend your score at all? I think with the guess I'll stick with four. I'm sticking with four forks or are you gonna amend your score at all? I think with the guess I'll stick with fours.

I don't know if this is... I'm sticking with three forks. I don't know, and I think that's good because I don't think it is a Golden Play Club member yet. No. Like if I'm being real, like I won't eat... Four forks. Like when I came in here, when I came in here, I'm heated up.

I'm yelling, I'm calling people. They fucking ordered KFC. This place is a dump. Can't believe it. They don't respect their guests. I want a Portillo's. I want a Portillo's so bad, I was like, make her drive an hour. Make her drive an hour.

I'm gonna say this, Amelia, who you know Carmen from specials and stuff like that, right? I know you from, I don't know you personally. I just met, when Mitch was like, oh, Carmen's gonna come on, I was like, oh, he's really funny, I know you from, I think you should leave, and that kind of stuff. Oh, cool, thanks, I appreciate that.

And she said that she was, Amelia was willing to go to Portillo's. Oh my god. And my argument was that there's no way a Portillo sandwich would be good, but after a 45 minute drive in the car. Frog, frog, er. You think it would be so soggy.

I can't imagine what you're talking about. Me and Weiger shot it down because we just didn't want to make her drive to Portillo. Well, I wouldn't have let that happen. I wouldn't have cared. She was down. I didn't know, that would be, I would never want you to do that.

But what I really wanted was Mitch to pay the Uber Eats or DoorDash person to drive an hour. I wanted Mitch. Because I know Mitch, just filming this big Hollywood movie in Toronto, I know his pockets are deep. So what I was thinking is like, you know, it's my first time in the show special, you know,

Mitch has been begging me, no, I've been begging him to come on. I was like, let's get Portillo's. Mitch opens up his pockets, you know, and we get Portillo's and he didn't want to open up his pockets, you guys. So what are you going to do? I'm stingy. I think the way-

I like my, I like my coins. I like my credit card account when it's high, or low, I guess. If we want it, because there are some Anaheim chains, there are some that are like kind of in the exurbs that are pretty far out. And Anaheim, you know, it's 45 minutes in no traffic,

which never happens. So like we're talking about potentially like a two hour drive. It could be a big fucking all day. Yeah, I would never do that. So, but I think there is a reality and hey, maybe you can come back and we can do this where we go down to Anaheim, we hit up Portillo's, we hit a few other like local, like Orange County spots

that aren't in LA and then we have like a few different episodes we can talk about. Oh, so I gotta go all the way to Anaheim? Yeah, that's an area. I mean, I would do it. I would do it. I love Portillo's. Portillo's, Chicago people. What's your favorite? Is it the Italian beef there? I like Portillo's a lot. So this is what I do.

When I go to Portillo's, I usually go with a friend because I want to have multiple things, but I don't want to feel like total shit afterwards. So I get an Italian beef, you know, not super soaked with hot jar in there, and cut it in half and split it with somebody who gets the hot dog, a Chicago style hot dog. And then I get my own cheese fries.

That sounds like heaven. The cheese fries are so good at Portillo. It's just like, so then you get everything. You get the hot dog, you get the Italian beef, and you get the cheese fries are so good at Portillo's. It's just like, so then you get everything. You get the hot dog, you get the Italian beef, and you get the cheese fries. Is it platinum play-clad for us? There's other stuff to get. I can't, we did it for a live show.

It's gotta be at least golden play-clad. And I have a memory of having the cheese fries, but it's possible that's a Mandela effect and we didn't actually have the cheese fries, but I remember having those and liking those. I'm just curious if it tastes the same as the Chicago Portillo's. That's what I'm very curious.

I'm curious about that too what I'm very curious about. I'm very curious about that. Oh, so we should bring a Chicago in down and get a verdict on how well it is, how much of an approximation it is. I'll slam it if it's not good. When my dad was dying, one of the last trips we took to Chicago,

and it was a great trip, and I got a chocolate, we went to Portillo's, and I got a chocolate cake shake. Oh yeah. Which people like, I feel like it's become becomes a thing of like chocolate cake, but that chocolate cake cake Shake is legit very good. It's very it's very very so far. It is currently golden plate club Wow, who the fuck didn't give it five for this give it five for exposed gabris nangle and Weger gave 4.5 Oh, so you guys did do you for tiller? we did we reviewed it in Chicago. Oh, that's awesome I'm gonna listen to that episode did you guys love it?

So is all five and then somebody got mad at us in the past thing you don't even remember You know why cuz nobody got cheese fries according to the wiki Wow You guys so you got you gave it a four or an eight so that's interesting And I'm over here giving him a five I'm gonna change my KFC score then we're giving fives and fours of Portillo's KFC is a two KFC is a fucking two. I'm being nice. I had fun. I'm being happy saw Wayne Brady today KFC is a fucking two if that fuck KFC Fuck Colonel Sanders. I don't try to serve serving Korean chicken. You guys are fucking from Kentucky. Don't do, don't stay inside your zone, baby.

You get a one now. Sauce is a little boring. It's a fucking one. Wow, down to one fork for KFC. Hey, that was our review of KFC and the KFC Superbowl 2025. It's time for a segment. What a success.

I've got a food-related survey and Mitch and Carmen will compete to guess the results. Let's play the family food. What a success. I've got a food related survey and Mitch and Carmen will compete to guess the results. Let's play the family food. One last game. Ba da da, ba da ba, ba da ba, ba da ba, ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba. Okay, so standard rules, whoever gets the most correct

without collecting three strikes will win. These were compiled by Amelia. The theme. Hey, I got a question for you quickly. I know you're mad. Yeah. You want the episode, you're wrapping it up. No, it's fine. We're not wrapping it up. We're just Amelia, the theme. Hey, I got a question for you quickly. I know you're mad. Yeah.

You want the episode, you're wrapping it up. No, it's fine. We're not wrapping it up, we're just going to the segment. We got more show. Did you trick your bidet out to flush when you walk away? No, I didn't, no, I don't have that setting. Cause I clunk one into the toilet and I walk away. That's dangerous.

Are you worried that you'll go shit here at Head Gum and forget that it's not your home toilet and you'll just walk away without fucking? It's dangerous that I'm gonna be programmed to never flush the toilet ever again? There's two things going on. First off, the muscle memory aspect of like you're conditioning yourself

not to flush after you shit. The second thing is sometimes that flush is a rough draft and you got some more stuff to take care of. So like you maybe leave some streaks in the bowl, you maybe leave a floater and then you got a guest over there. They go to take a piss in your toilet and they're like, this is fucking disgusting.

This is my bathroom in my bedroom. What, you're never having company over? It's the toilet that's right next to his bed. So no one else is using that. It's right next to my- So you want just like shit just floating in there? There's a toilet right next to my bed and then there's a bathroom in the other room. Yeah.

And there's no toilet in that bathroom. Yeah, he wanted the toilet to be right next to his bed so that instead of just always having to lay down to watch TV, he can also take a shit and watch TV. That is, that's why I got, that is why I did it. I think you gotta flush and then inspect and then make sure you're in the clear. It sounds like you're fucking,

it sounds like you're jealous of my walk away flush. I can walk away, gets fucking flush down the drain. And I got powerful pipes that white got, those streaks aren't staying in there. Well, maybe you got new construction. Maybe you've got like your own toilet you've picked out. Like, cause I'm a renter. So I got whatever shitty toilet,

whatever shitty pipes are in my Fucking shitty working class man that you all think is somehow less rich than I was working class I just said like we rent so we don't have our own fixtures We didn't get to choose our own toilet. I also choose my own fucking toilet brand I will you have whatever came with your with the place you own and and like what like did like you just got a new seat You didn't get a new toilet for your total I got the total seat yes but what kind of toilet you rocking cuz our toilet is like some off-brand like fucking like I don't even recognize it it's not what I'm talking total I got a total for the total you got a total toilet yeah well you have a total brand toilet yeah you got a you got

a proper toilet yeah it's a proper toilet yeah no I've got a fucking whatever I got the cheapest toilet that my landlord bought yeah Yeah. Well fucking that's So I got a so I have to flush more than once Mitch. I can't just walk away necessarily Look you guys ever hear of a water bed You guys hear of a water bed well Mitch has got a water bed toilet His bed flushes Toilet. His bed flushes.

My bed does flush. If he goes under the sheets he can just piss and shit in the pool and then come out on the other side and it flushes. Yeah, it's dangerous though. It is dangerous. He's drowned a couple times. Did you do a burp-o? Did you do a burp-o?

Did you do a burp-o ad for that mattress? Yeah, yeah, I did that. I did the burp-o. Do you remember the Freddy, like the fucking Freddy kill where the guy is like all fucking horny? He's got the water bed and there's like a mermaid under his water bed and he's like, oh shit, I'm gonna have sex with this mermaid and the mermaid swims away and then swims back to fucking Freddy. He comes out and fucking kills the guy. Well, it's also funny that the guy wanted to fuck the mermaid to go on top of it. I get it though. He's horny.

Yeah. Yo, mermaids are fine as hell. Yeah, I agree. How's, man, there's like 10 or 11 mermaids in history, each and every one of them fine as hell. I agree. That one, the Freddy one is fucking fine as hell too. Yeah. I've never seen a mermaid I didn't like.

I'll tell you that. That is fair. That is, and also Johnny Depp gets pulled into a bed that's not, is it a water bed? No, it's just a regular ass bed. It is a regular ass bed. It's a fucking brutal kill. There's so much fun. Okay, so-

Also, you should just get the, the walk away flush is cool. You would like it. I just wouldn't trust- It sounds like you're just mad that I have it. I wouldn't trust, no, I don't care that you have it. I just, I wouldn't trust the walk away flush. And I also am worried about what Emma brought up that I conditioned it not flush. I'm a't trust. It sounds like you're just mad that I have it, and you don't. I wouldn't trust, no, I don't care that you have it. I wouldn't trust the walk away flush. And I also am worried about what Emma brought up

that I didn't condition it not flush. I'm a human being. I make sure there's not like big shits in my toilet. But if you're walking away, when are you making sure? Next time you go to take a shit? Yes, maybe, sometimes. So that's the issue. I think Lager doesn't want Natalie

to have to see his skin marks. Yeah, exactly. It's like being courteous. She sees them anyways. Does she do your laundry? No. All right, I just thought she could've. No, she's not my mom.

I do my own fucking laundry. All right, relax, holy shit. Damn, your mom does your laundry? I was a child. All right, the theme is most popular unhealthiest foods in the US according to universaldrugstore.com. Amelia, what the hell is this? Most popular unhealthiest foods?

This is- What is this site, universaldrugstore.com? I think the- I think the most popular answer is for unhealthiest foods. Yeah, no, it said most popular junk foods. I changed it to unhealthiest, and then I re- now I realize that the sentence is grammatically incorrect. Yeah, it's just confusing.

That's just me. Okay, it's just confusing. Okay. And I put it in quotes because I think some of the food isn't that unhealthy, so I didn't wanna confuse people, but that ended up backfiring. The top story at universaldrugstore.com, I don't know what that is. Top seven answers are on the board.

Thank you for compiling this. So Carmen, Mitch, here's how this works. You will each alternate, you will buzz in and say, or actually you can just alternate and guess what you think Is going to be here to you. This is like an anti-vax website that you got this wrong Fucking Italian Italians hate the Vax I'm half Italian so I'll get it sometime I

Got the I got the first two shots, but I didn't want to get the booster, basically. I'm punching in universaldrugstore.com. I'm going to check out this website. Carmen, what do you think? Do you want to take a guess here? For the most unhealthy food? Most popular, the seven most popular,

the people were surveyed, and these were the seven most popular unhealthy or junk foods in America. Basically the most popular food, because the most popular foods, because the most popular foods are just the most unhealthy, so pizza. Pizza is number one. Wow.

Good answer, good answer. It's just cheese and sauce and bread, so bad. Thank you Emma for finding the sound effects sting from the Super Nintendo version of Family Feud. All right, pizza is off the board. Number one answer. Mitch, your turn. I'm gonna say fried chicken, Wags. Fried chicken number seven.

Ooh. Okay. I'll say, like, can you say like mac and cheese? Can you just stay in that pocket or no? You can say mac and cheese. Is that your guess? Yeah.

Fuck me. I'm sorry, you have one strike. Fuck the world. That's... All right, Mitch, you both have one correct. This is already gonna get hard. Oh, I knew it, I wanna change it. Mitch, you have one correct and no strikes.

I'm gonna say, Wags, my answer is French fries. Oh, that's a good one. Show me French fries! Fuck! Ooh, that's a good one. Show me french fries. Oh that's unhealthy. You both have a strike and a correct one. Okay I'm gonna say cake. Oh cake. Show me cake. Why it is not. Two strikes two strikes. It's not it's not one of the most seven most popular answers. Oh, popular answers. Yes, most popular, unhealthiest food.

Say something stupid. I'm going to go with, okay, this is very close to what I just guessed. So mix, cheeseburgers. Oh, that's, yeah. Show me cheeseburgers. I was going to say that. I was going to say that. It says hamburgers, but I'm going to go with cheeseburgers. It says hamb's, yeah. Show me cheeseburgers. I was gonna say that. I was gonna say that.

It says hamburgers, but I'm gonna go with the same thing. It says hamburgers, but I'll give it to you. Number five. I prefer not to give it to him, because it's wrong, but that's okay. I think on the show it would say hamburgers slash cheeseburgers, and they would give it to you. Or just burgers.

Okay, okay, okay, okay. All right, Mitch has two and one strike. Carmen has one and two strikes. I haven't heard. Hot dogs? Show me hot dogs. That's a good answer. That's a damn good answer.

Great answer. Hot dogs number six. We're both in trouble coming up now though. But I got two strikes, he's only got one. Or no, do we both have two? Mitch has one strike, you have two strikes. Here's what's off the board. Pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs, and fried chicken, correct?

So there's three left. So there's three left. Two, three, and four are open. I'm gonna say potato chips. Oh, that's a great answer. Potato chips. Yeah, so bad. Sorry, Mitch, you get your second strike. Why is this hard?

This is weird that it's hard. Let me think. If I was gonna steer you toward something. Oh, I think I got it. Okay, go for it. So. Why is this hard? This is weird that it's hard. Let me think. If I was gonna steer you towards something. Oh, I think I got it. Okay, go for it. So, but is cake different from ice cream? I would say away from sweets. Yeah, they aren't really sweets.

Yeah, I would say to steer you, I would think- I can't believe you got an X on fries. I would think mains and I would think savory. Cause that's what this whole list is. Although these remaining three are kinda hard. Okay, mains, savory. I have an answer, but I don't.

I would go with- We're in trouble. Oh. What about motherfucking lasagna? Good answer. Lasagna, show me lasagna. Fuck! Sorry, Carmen, you have collected your third strike.

Can you guys bleep this out? If this is- Fuck! Mitch, if this is also a strike, then you are tied. If you get an answer here, then you will win the family food. That's not how family food works, but all right. Well, that's how family food works.

We're not playing family feud. We're playing family feud. Mitch is popping up a beer. Sleepless distinct. I'm gonna say well that's how family food works we're not playing family feud we're playing family this is popping up a distinct I'm gonna say something that's weird I'm gonna say a weird one and I don't think it's gonna be on like this is what the fuck else I think you're gonna be mad at say steak I was gonna show me that show me say that, but steak is the bomb. Also, steak is good for you. That's why I put unhealthiest in quotes.

Okay. Wait, like isn't steak not bad for you? Cause it's low in calories and it's high in protein. This is the thing about Family Feud. It's because we're surveying people, what is objective truth does not matter. I remember one time on Family Feud, they were asking for a tourist location in France,

a French landmark, and one of the top answers was the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Now the Leaning Tower of Pisa obviously is not in France, but dipshit Americans who were surveyed said Leaning Tower of Pisa, so it's on the survey. Whoa, whoa, whoa! And they usually do the surveys at like a mall in the middle of the day, in the middle of nowhere.

Exactly. Like you have no idea where they're taking it or what the... Yo, whoa, ho! I love Americans, dude. Yeah, wait. What about Italian Americans, whoa, ho, I love Americans, dude. Yeah, wait. What about Italian Americans, Mitch? Oh, Americans.

Same guy that tried to burn the flag is being ironic about this country. Interesting, interesting. Mitch, you've won the family food. Just for funsies, do we wanna try to guess the remaining two? Number two is something you might have if you were trying, you know what? It was referenced in a joke earlier.

I was gonna say steak no matter what. That is the truth, but I just was like, I don't know what else to say. It was referenced in a joke earlier. That's right. There was a very funny joke we enjoyed from baby's kids that involved this food stuff. Chili.

Chili is number two. Chili's number two. What? Are you surprised by that? You said chili today. Damn, I said chili today, I did. You did the wrong time. You said the wrong time. Number three, a food that you might get

at a different Yum Brands restaurant. Tacos. Oh wow. Tacos number three. It feels like a very vague. Tacos could be healthy. Yeah. Yeah. Like you could do a shrimp taco or you could do some bullshit and it's good.

Also burritos aren't on the list, tacos are. It's not on the list. It's actually number eight on the list. It's not in the top seven. We were doing the top seven. Oh, okay. Pizza, chilies, chili, tacos, steak, hamburgers, hot dogs and fried chicken are the top 10.

Mitch has won the family food. Who put this list together? RFK Jr.? Jesus. It's his website probably. I think that this list, if I ate everything on this list in a week, I'd be like, I'm doing pretty good this week.

I wouldn't think that I was doing bad. There's some good stuff. The steak is good for you. Can we, I feel like for, and Mitch, I think you'd be wrong. You do this well. Can we do, since we're doing Family Feud, can we do like a Steve Harvey?

Like I'll say, give me like the most popular and healthy food, and then you can say something like grandma's booty, just say something dirty. Yeah, yeah, I would love to. And then you do a Steve Harvey reaction to camera. Is that all right? Okay, cool, let's do this. All right, Carmen, I'm looking for the most popular,

unhealthiest foods in the US. The end of the rat's asshole after he got done shitting out a little, some worms. That was pretty good. That was really good. Just like a restaurant, I value your feedback. Let's open the feedback. Today's email is from Kim L. from Maryland.

Kim L. writes, "'Progresso recently released chicken noodle soup flavored lozenges for National Soup Month.'" Do you see these? These are wild. No, no. That's disgusting. If you could have any food in lozenge form,

what would it be? "'I'd go for a buffalo wings with ranch flavor.'" Ooh, boy. Yeah, hell. "'A big sarcastic G thanks to my husband, Mike, for introducing me to this mediocre pod back in 2020. I haven't laughed one single time. Jesus.

Well, Kimmel, if you want to laugh, check out Live From the Windy City on YouTube from our guest, Carmen Christopher. I actually promise, I actually promise, if you just click on the link, you'll like it. Wow. I actually promise. And if you click on the link, you'll like it. Wow. Wow.

I actually promise. And if you don't, Venmo requests me and I'll send you 0.002 cents. We can link to it from our, we can probably link to it from our YouTube. Yeah. That's true. If you did that, that would warm my heart.

For sure. We'll 100% do that. Here's what I would say, Kimmel. I think anything savory is going to be a little bit off-putting. If that's the exercise where we have to come up with something savory, we can crack it, but go for it. Also, lay off us, lady.

Jesus Christ. We're trying. We are. No, she's with that. Thank you for listening to this bullshit. For me, when I watch Willy Wonka, Violet Beauregard takes the gum that is like the four course meal or three course meal. You're talking the Gene Wilder one.

You're not talking the Chalamet. No, I'm not talking about Wonka. And I'm not talking about fucking- I'm sorry. I hate to cut you off. Wayne Brady is still here. I just saw him. This is genetic control.

He's still here. Now he's an out-of-leave guy. I'm going talking about fucking. I'm sorry, I hate to cut you off. Wayne Brady is still here. I just saw him. I see, see, he's still here. This is getting out of control. He's still here, now he's here, now I believe he is going. I wanna see what he's driving, you guys do your thing. Nah, I'm just joking, go ahead.

He's got a nice car. I imagine, this guy's a billionaire, go ahead. And Violet Beauregard takes gum and she's like, it's a creamy tomato soup. And in my mind, if I was thinking savory and it was like a lozenge and I's like, it's a creamy tomato soup. And in my mind, if I was thinking savory and it was like a lozenge and I was sick, having like a creamy tomato soup would maybe be fun to suck on.

Yeah. Is it warm? I don't know. I mean, I think lozenges are always room temp, right? Yeah. Which is just like- It's as warm as your mouth makes it. You know what I think could,

the Violet Beauregard thing is making me think of though, like when she goes through the whole meal, there is a certain point where she gets to blueberry pie. And that's always been the thing. A blueberry pie lozenge I think could be delicious if it had that sort of like- Blueberry pie with like vanilla? With vanilla, like a la mode.

If you captured all those flavors in lozenge form, cause then it being slightly warm, but like, you know but like mouth temperature feels like that would be appropriate for a slice of pie. Yeah. Yeah, you know what? I mean, like honestly, that's where we should go is like desserts or sweets, right?

I mean, something sweet is naturally going to be a better fit for a lozenge, but I don't know if Kimmel's question is supposed to be, hey, I want you to try to get something adjacent to chicken noodle soup. Carmen, what do you think as far as would you go, sorry. No, no, I'm just texting. It's all good.

I'm like a brown butter, like a brown butter cookie. That could be fun. Brown butter cookie is good. You're asking my- What would you, if you had a lozenge- Dream lozenge. Dream lozenge flavor. Dream lozenge flavor is pretty simple.

For me, it's an easy question that I'd like to answer right now. Wow. And the answer to that question is gusher flavor. Gusher flavor. Tastes like a gusher. That's pretty good. It sounds like you just want a gusher.

Yeah, I just want some gushers. But it doesn't have the texture of a gusher, I guess, necessarily. It's a little harder, maybe. Hard gushers. Hard gushers, baby. And make, you know what, make it sour and with some bugs in the middle Is a funny idea saw like solid gushers

They should trick you so that you break your teeth and so that dentists finally get more money Now we're talking I'm just joking. I hate dentists. If you're a dentist listening right now, turn this off because this podcast is not for you and we don't want you listening to our stuff. Do not watch my special on YouTube. Oh my God. My comedy is not for dentists. You want to give people cavities.

You want to steal money from us because we don't know shit about our teeth and you're tricking us. Telling us we have cavities. Look at that little black spot. I can't see it in the x-ray. My comedy is not for dentists. I'll say that right now. I'm real like this. Nick and I, we're kind of like the anti-dentists, right? Hell yeah. Nice. We've never high-fived on the show before ever. It's pretty good though. Yeah, it was pretty good. You guys are gonna love this episode if you got this far. I think blueberry pie so far is the best answer. Or cherry pie, something ala mode, something like that.

Something like a compound dessert. Or actually hard gushers with bugs. Hard gushers is actually probably the best answer. I will say that I've had some bad luck with dentists lately. I think I'm finally, I still have one more procedure to do, but I had an issue where a routine filling replacement got turned into it. Like my tooth got cracked in the process.

I had to get a root canal and then it completely changed my bite. So now I have oral facial pain and jaw popping. And so that was all they had to see a specialist there. I've spent all this money out of pocket. It's a whole fucking thing. I just did this to you. I believe so But you know, I get it, you know, whatever. I don't lie. You guys think I'm a liar We don't think you're not you the fans do People been in the chat saying this guy's alive from the hype with the pre-release type of the episode has been like the deal

We're having on a liar guest. Yeah. Also just so you guys know because I know you guys have a big following this has been going on for ten years There is a chat and if you guys haven't been using it, please start using the chat Log into the chat It's different from the dose cord. Yeah, it's not our discord server the doors board It's not the reddit which is good now and if you can't find the chat, you don't deserve to be on there There is a chat. Yeah And we're all in there. You have to have a certain computer. Right.

It's one of those computers that farms cryptos. Yeah. You gotta have one of those. You don't have to have one of those. And like every time you write a comment or ask a question, it wastes 18 bottles of water. Yeah. It's the guy behind it just pours out 18 bottles of water.

I told you, I also had, you had a root canal recently. The guy behind it just pours out 18 bottles of water. I told you, I also had, you had a root canal recently, I told you I had a toot canal. Right. Yeah, there was something, like a guy had a drill into my butt and this is, this is. Oh, for real? Yeah.

This is, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait, what is a tooth canal? A toot canal, T-O-O-T, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was serious operation. So there was a tooth in your asshole? Yeah, there was a tooth in my asshole. That's cool. Is that why you can't shit?

Sounds like the bidet can come from somewhere. It might be why you can't shit. You got a tooth taken out. You need one of those strong bidets that I have, where it shoots the water out your mouth. It would've shot that tooth right out. Sometimes if you have brown throat so much, you can grab a tooth and bring it back down.

So if you can contribute to that. The GoFundMe, I actually saw how much Mitch donated and it made me do mine anonymously because he gave way more than I was willing to give. But I didn did give money. Is that true? Well, I don't really know him that well, but it was like such a-

Giving anything is so kind. But he did tech for me like two or three times at the lyrics, so, and he's super sweet guy. Lovely man. I love Jimmy. Also, I worked, I did Not Too Shabby, and Jimmy did, he did the lights a lot of the time for Not Too Shabby, which was like a fuck around sketch show.

Yeah. And so I hosted that show with Mike Hanford and Dave Ferguson. And he put in so much time to that show, which was like a big fuck around show. So he's the best. So he deserved that from me specifically. No, that's awesome.
