This is a headgum podcast. Belgian food is served in the quantity of German cuisine, but with the quality of French food. This unattributed cliché speaks to the esteem in which the world holds the cuisine of Belgium, as well as how this geographically small, densely populated state is perpetually judged in comparison with its neighbors. Since winning sovereignty from the Dutch following the decade-long Belgian Revolution of 1830, the Western European nation has developed an identity that hybridizes French, Dutch,

and German influences, not coincidentally its three national languages, and that extends to its cuisine. Here in the U.S., Belgian food is generally thought of as just chocolate, fries, and waffles. The indulgent American-style Belgian waffle a distortion of the authentic version on the order of how Chicago-style pizza compares to pizza in Napolitana. But true Belgian food, which often incorporates the unique Belgian endive, encompasses a vast array of meat and game dishes, seafood, most famously mussels, hearty stews and soups, and, as with the French, a strong tradition of baking.

In 1990, Alain Cumaugh, a baker descended from a family of grocers, opened a shop in the capital of Brussels, giving it a name in French that translates to the Daily Bread. Featuring an array of fresh baked goods and a signature large communal table, the eatery's quick success saw its menu grow to include egg dishes, tartines, and other hearty air fare. Within its first year of operation, Cumaugh's restaurant expanded to a chain of ten locations all in the city limits of Brussels, and within its first decade, it was an international success, opening its first U.S. outpost in New York City in 1997.

Today, there are over 250 of Cumaugh's Belgian bakeries in two dozen countries, where thousands of customers test the accuracy of the idiom about Belgian food, specifically bread, on a daily basis. This week on Doughboys, Le Pond Quartidillon. Welcome to Doughboys, the podcast about chain restaurants. I'm Nick Weiger. Alongside my co-host, lead singer of Round Garden, Chris Coronary, the Spoon Man, Mike Mitchell.

They fit a lot of jokes into just a short little sentence. Kind of a hat on a hat there. That was courtesy of Kurt Krober, roastspoonman at gmail.com, the address to use if you want to insult Mitch at the top of the show. Krober. Come on, Krober. Leave me alone. Nick, how are you?

I'm doing okay. I know you're, like, you just had a crazy... My week has been less eventful than yours. You were just down in Mexico City shooting a big Hollywood movie. Oh, my God. I didn't tell him to say this. This is embarrassing. I'm proud of you.

I'm sick, Nick. Yeah. And you got sick of... You got a little something down south. I assume it was, it was, it was Teth, the, the air, it was, you know, when they get the air warnings on your weather app, that's what was happening in Mexico City when I was down there. The pollution was particularly bad down there.

Yeah. And that, and that come, compounded with the high elevation there in Tanáctatlán, now known as Mexico City. What the hell? It's the largest city in North America. You froze when you said that name, by the way. It was, it was hard for me to breathe, more so than normal, than air. Right.

How do you... To Spoon Nation. Oh, boy. That was, that was quite raspy. And here we go. Here's a drop. Hey, FYI, I didn't spur my sleeping bag. I didn't s- I didn't s- I didn't s- I didn't s- I didn't s- I didn't s- I didn't s- I

didn't s- I didn't s- I didn't s- I didn't s- I didn't s- I didn't s- I didn't s- I didn't s- I didn't s- I didn't s- I won't stop. There you go. Yeah, it's a nice little groove. Here's the thing. When you just take that out of context, it doesn't convey that I'm saying it. I'm quoting someone in an anecdote that people are thinking that that's me saying that, that I'm saying I didn't sperm my sleeping bag.

I don't even remember what that's from or what we were talking about. I barely remember it. I forget how we got into that story, but it was a camp, but it was a situation at summer camp where a kid woke up and just was basically like his sleeping bag was damp and said, just so you guys know, I didn't sperm my sleeping bag. Oh, I just thought that was you. Yeah, and that's what I'm saying. That's what I just said.

People thought it was me. People are going to think it's me from that drop because it doesn't say the context of that was an anecdote where I was quoting another kid. I still do think it is you. This other kid I went to camp with. Hi Mitch, Nick, Emma, and Usong. Love the show. Attaching my first attempt at a drop here.

Nothing to plug. Keep it up. All best. Mike Casiano. PS, can't wait to see you all live in DC in September. How about that? Boy, we're going on a little East Coast swing. Yeah.

Yeah. You excited about that, Nick? You know. Nick, there was a few things I did in Mexico City. We're going to introduce our guests. So I'm just going to go through this quick. I ate a lot of great food. It was the food was great.

Yeah. Got sick as we've gone over and I went to a lucha libre show. Very fun. Nick, you bought me a Mario hat to be when we got into a big fight. That's right. Well, I got you a gift as well. Whoa. What is happening here?

I got one for myself and one for you. Okay. I got you a lucha libre mask. Wow. Look at that. One is the good guy, which is mine. And yours is the bad guy here. You got me a villainous mask?

I got you a villainous. You got me a heel mask? I mean, this mask is cooler. I'm jealous that you get to have it. There's a letter F at the front. What is that about? It's a scarlet letter, but it's just an F in the center of my forehead. Food, maybe.

Oh, okay. Like, dough boys. Sure. I mean, this might switch up when this hero mask doesn't fit me and I'm taking the villainous mask from you. Yeah, that's what it is. The one you got for me is kind of a Batman, kind of a gold Batman. It's pretty cool.

Yeah, it's cool. Wait, what does yours look like? I'm scared. I feel like I'm giving Jason his mask or something. That's very nice of you. I appreciate that. Thank you. Mine is, I think mine's Mystico.

Oh, very cool. Should we try them on as they fit? There's no way that's going to fit you. Then we might have to switch it up. Yeah, I mean, you could try, but I mean, stretching a Halloween mask over a beach ball, I don't think that's going to fit over that big melody of yours. It's definitely not going to fit over the headphones. Yeah, take off the hat.

Wow, he's taking off the Patriots hat. I've never seen this before. There we go. It kind of, it kind of fits. It kind of fits. It doesn't cover your beard. Yeah, that's all right though. Let me see if I can do mine.

I think yours, I'm going to do mine real quick. It looks bad? Yeah. Your beard comes out at the bottom of it, which is great. Yeah, this does not look that good. This makes me feel claustrophobic. It matches your outfit perfectly. Oh, that's nice.

Well, how about that? Hey, we can wear these in the, we can wear these in the photo for the episode. Sure. And get a sense of what we look like. Yeah. It is, it is, I'll never wear it again. No. No, yours is stretched to its breaking point.

It does make me feel a little like, because it makes you extra nasally, because it constrains the nose a little bit, and then my hearing's not as good, and then my vision is occluded. Can you see? I can kind of see, but it's, it's like a, there's like a screen. It's like, I'm looking through a screen door up close. God, you would not make a good lucid door. No, I'd hurt myself very badly. Well, that was fun.

Yeah. Here, let me see yours. I'm going to see if yours fits. Okay. I'm tossing this over. Here we go. But introduce our guest. I'm sorry to our guest that I didn't, I didn't, I didn't have a, a mask for you.

Yeah, I didn't have a mask that I could buy anywhere in Los Angeles. Our guest is an actor and comedian from NBC Superstore. His podcast is live to tape, Johnny Pemberton. Hi, Johnny. Hello. Interesting fact here. Yeah. This mask doesn't fit me.

You're, you're. Well, how about that? It doesn't fit, but it's got such an open pattern. Yeah. That's, that's what I was going to say. Cause the, the, the bottom part is open and I feel like your head, so, so much of your head is like in the. Let's not fucking discuss the, where my head is biggest.

It's the beard region. In your personal phrenology. Yes. I don't want to, I don't want my personal phrenology discussed on the. We'll get your calipers out. We'll figure this out. No, it doesn't, the, the, the, uh, once you get past that big opening there, it gets a little tight.

Right. At the top. It doesn't fit. Like the beard thing at the bottom is really strange. Yes. Cause you're just getting a little line of beard. It seems like a men in black character or something like that. It's like this, like an alien who's in a person, right?

I felt that way. My most of my life. Yeah. Movie. I was like, oh, everything makes sense. Oh, that's who I was. I was men in black. If you're a character actor that gets like, uh, I feel like it's like half an insult.

Yeah. That monk in, uh, David Cross, maybe a cast in a men in black movie. Yeah. You're like, you look weird enough to be an alien in a human skin suit, Mitch. You know, like, uh, speaking of men in black, you know what the difference between you and me is when it comes to dough boys? What's that? I make this look good.

Oh, I forgot about that. He says that the Tommy Lee Jones. Yeah. It's a lot of fun. Uh, Johnny, you're originally from Minnesota. That's where I grew up. So Minnesota, I think like, can I tell you a little story about Nick in Minnesota? Wouldn't have a juicy Lucy.

We are. Okay. He's not giving me full context. I've never had one. Wow. I mean, that's just like, what's just a burger from a place in Minneapolis, there's nothing about the juicy Lucy that is at all Minnesota and other than it is like gratuitously filled with cheese.

Right. Yeah. It's not like, it's not a Minnesota thing. By the way, gratuitously filled with cheese. You could describe bitch or I that way. Yeah. Um, I think I don't like the name juicy Lucy because it, it makes me think of a lady. It's a little, yeah, it's a little gross.

It's a little gross. It sounds a little twisted. It sounds like a, like a rusty trombone, like a sex act that is like that someone makes up and puts on Urban Dictionary, but don't ever actually does it. Yeah. Yeah. In your case, you did you deal with actual rusty trombones when you were in bandcamp or what?

I was a woodwind player. Oh, a woodwind. I don't think they rust that wet that easily. I don't think the brass rusts. I think it's a, or maybe it does. So wait, let me, let me explain this juicy Lucy thing because you're saying sound like I went, we went to the juicy Lucy plays and they turned up my nose. That's not what happened.

We were at the airport. We had a connecting flight. You wanted me to get an airport juicy Lucy. Yeah, that's not right. It was also a blue sea. It was the blue cheese. Yeah. I was like, I was like, we're going to fly up to this is when we're flying up to Saskatchewan.

So we got another three hour flight. I don't want to eat this fucking suspect blue cheese, juicy Lucy from an airport eatery. So I got myself a salad. I got myself something a little lighter that was a reasonable choice to make. It's not like I passed up an opportunity. No, I think I got like a cob salad or something from the Grand Meadow bakery cafe. What was that? What the fuck was that place?

It was the blue sea place. Oh, they have the blue sea place where they have what is it? What is the blue sea place called? I forget. I forget. It's a really dumb name. It's like a really like God, I'm just I'm just what do you call it? Blast for me in Minnesota here like back to back.

I have eaten there though. I just haven't had the right to say. I didn't even think you must have been spending some time some serious time in that airport. I spent a lot of time at some of the best airports there is a very nice airport. It's a great airport. Portland claims to be better. Portland, I was just in the Portland airport and has only signs that say voted six years in a row best airport in America.

But maybe think who the fuck is voting for airports? Yeah, that's a great whole Yelp thing where a bat. The reason places have bad Yelp reviews is who's taking time to write a good review, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think the I think that also is probably skewed because they probably get a lot of flights up the coast and LAX and and SFO or and Oakland airport to some degree, although I haven't spent a lot of time in Oakland or are like not great airports.

So probably by comparison, you fly from LAX, you fly up to Portland. It's like if you landed in Xanadu, we got stuck in the Minneapolis airport. If you remember, we did. We're there for a while. Well, I had a great time. Great place to get stuff. Wait, where specifically in Minnesota are you from? I grew up in Rochester.

So where is Rochester? Give it a little southeast. It's where the Mayo Clinic is. Oh, fun. There's nothing else there except for the Mayo Clinic. I mean, there's other stuff, but that's like. Nick, relax. Not the not the Mayo.

This is a lesson I've learned in the past. The mayonnaise clinic. That's a good one. It's a lot of fun. Yeah, mayonnaise, Mayo. It's the short word for it. That's where the mayonnaise clinic is. It deals specifically with heart disease related to saturated fats.

That's their specialty. So like one thing about outside the Juicy Lucy, which I was going to ask you about and you volunteered it, Minnesota, also the home of Target. It is. Have you have you eaten much of the Target food court? I mean, many times as a kid, I have very early memories of having a cherry. It's not an eye.

Is it an icy or is it a Mr. It's not a slurpee. No, not a slurpee. And I not as an icy. Is it it's I think it's an ice. I think it is the ice. Yeah, it was a cherry coke. I see they used to have there that was the greatest thing in my memory.

That is one of the best tastes there is. Is the the cola flavored thing. It's not cola. Yes, I mean, you know, I've had bottle caps. Yes, like the cola flavored bottle caps are the best. Anything cola flavored. It's not cola. Yeah, you love I love it.

I used to be such a big fan of coke and then I didn't get a I would never get the coke slurpee because I was like weird. So good. And then as as an adult, I had one I was like, oh, I was missing out. These are these are really great. They definitely a target used to have the cherry. I think it was a cherry coke. It might have been cherry coke.

It was a cherry cola, like just a cola right thing. And they had those used to eat those as a kid. Otherwise, I think I've had some I've had a water from there before. Fun. Maybe a pretzel, maybe a dog. Yeah, yeah. Do you ever call it Tarzay for fun? My mom used to call it that.

My mom as well. Yeah, it's a mom joke. It's a mom thing. It's definitely a mom thing. Is there a podcast specifically for moms like of our generation? Mom cast. That's a good idea. I need to start that.

I must start a new podcast. I'm going to start a new one that's all about Christmas. It's the only Christmas podcast that'll be coming in the fall. That's fun. All year round Christmas podcast. Maybe I'll double down and make it the only podcast. It's all about Christmas for moms, the most niche podcast. I like I like to extend the Christmas season, Nick.

I like like all of December. I can enjoy Christmas stuff. Yes. And then almost all of January, too. I can I think I can go for a couple of weeks, but then once it's over, it's I can't like the people who like what's when one once what is over. I mean, this is weird for a person who does like to extend it. But I'm saying like if people who like try to celebrate Christmas,

like if you listen to Christmas music in February or March, come on. That's weird, I think. I don't I think it's OK. No, that's strange. I it's like it's I think that it's weird to like maybe hold on to the season for too long. But I think in the middle of like a the middle of an April, if you want to hear some Christmas season.

No, that's the weirdest thing of all. That it's what I'm talking about. That's strange. To go to Santa's Village in April. Well, yeah, to do that is weird. I'm just saying like like you specifically said Christmas music. I think listening to some offseason Christmas music is maybe OK. You really want to hear.

It's good stuff. Yeah. I mean, wouldn't you eat Christmas food, not during Christmas, maybe? Well, hold on. That's a no, that's not that. Oh, no, I know. That is weird. You're not a big problem with that.

You could the you're at the Cali it's a caliphia farms. You know, they make the milk. They look like almond. Oh, yeah. They make an eggnog. It's almond eggnog, which is one of my favorite things to mix with coffee. And you can't get it outside of the holidays. Oh, well, it's the perfect taste to add to coffee.

That sounds delightful. Is it is maybe I was a vegan? It's vegan. Wow. Yeah. Maybe I was a little off base here. OK, Nick, maybe I was a little bit wrong for God's sake. You want Christmas to be year round. Oh, God. But those plum center rolls.

Yeah, I was going to say. It was like it's a Mitch holiday. Um, so OK, I think I've seen you, Johnny, had like funnier die dressed as Santa problem. That's probably like the last three times I've seen you. You're me dressed as Santa. No, no, no, me dressed as Santa. OK, God, I feel like the last time I saw you was that funnier die

and I was dressed as Santa or something. I was like, hello. Yeah, we could have forgotten me dressed as Santa. Like I come to this point now where a lot of these people remind me of things that are older, right? Just have completely removed all that memories. It's gone. I just remember that I was Santa in a in a sketch and in a video.

There's a video of me so fucking buff, dude. Come on. Must be saying it was a hunky Santa. No, this was this was when I was plumper. I was a rotund guy. And as you knew me when I was fat as fuck. Yeah, yeah, it was a big, big, fat piece of shit, fatter than I am now. You're a big boy, better than me.

Yeah, let's not go nuts. But no, I was a big, I was a big guy. We were we're comparable sizes. And I saw I was like, I was I had fucking I like I'm such a shitty actor. It was such a waste of good makeup. But I had, you know, I know, I'm telling things people already know. But I had like that fucking glued on like Santa beard

and like the old age makeup and stuff to play Santa in a fucking sketch. It was so it's so weird that I like, yeah, I'd forgotten about that until you said that right now. Yeah, it sucks. It's it's it's embarrassing. It is Santa is a very sexless, bad character. I mean, not that you were looking to get into a sexy character, right? But like it just feels like an embarrassing thing to do. Don't some people sexualize Santa, though.

Don't some people think of like they have. There's something we're talking about this on the podcast. They're getting horny for Santa. Yeah, it's like this. It's a hey Santa. I've been a bad girl right right Santa. I've been a really bad girl. What are you going to put your coal? How old are you?

I'm fifteen. Oh boy. OK, that's my guess of what happens to Santa. I have no idea. Flies away. Santa has to. Santa's cancelled this Christmas. I'm surprised Santa didn't cancel a long time ago.

Yeah. Isn't that like the original original like breeding ground for Peds is to play Santa? Oh, yeah. It's like that's what they have to screen those guys, right? They have to screen him heavily. I think I used to play him back in the day. It wasn't why I was in that video.

It is as Santa getting cancelled feels like a 2020 story or like a like a movie you could make like an adult. It feels like it's a Fox News story. It does feel like a Fox News. These liberals have cancelled Santa when they're coming to your town. They're going to cancel your Santa. Santa gets cancelled, but it's because he tweeted something homophobic in 2009. Oh, my buddy, Mike, is who I talk about his I played Santa for his uncle's family.

That's fun. And his uncle's daughter sat on my lap and he's like, whoa, Santa's getting excited. He started fucking with me. Jesus Christ. That's terrible. That's awful. Because it's nothing you can do if you it's a classic case of if you say too

much, you're guilty. If you say nothing, you look guilty. I mean, he was just having so much fun fucking with me on the side of the room. Did you break character? No, I was like, no, I think I said something like that. That's a real Quincy joke, like just like joking about a dude getting a boner. That is a real Quincy sense. I mean, there's a humor.

The funniest place on earth you're talking about. It's okay. It's my daughter. Don't worry. It's my daughter. I can make the joke. Hey, you want to put some more of these fries in the oven? Is that worse?

We're not huge on oven fries. Oven fries are healthy. That's all we eat in Quincy. Oven fries. Hey, hey, oven fries. Hey, put the oven at 450. These oven fries aren't crispy enough. Hey, I want to broil.

You had this down at 425. That's not going to get him crispy. Ma. Ma. Hey, we live in Quincy. We love oven fries. Ma. Ma.

These fries and oven. Ma. It seems like this guy doesn't like the fries being in the oven. We hate we hate oven fries here in Quincy, but we keep making them. What even accent are you doing? Hey, man, I'm just for you grew up there. You tell me. Wiger is going to Quincy in September and you just you just signed a fucking

ass kicking for yourself. I'm ready to get stomped by Chankton and Wu Tang and frail bot in the gang. Scoop. I'm hoping Scoop will get a couple kicks into my ribs. Our show is like at 1030 or something. What is that? It's too fucking late.

It's 945 or something. There's no, and they're going to want you to go out afterwards. Yeah. Remindy, you'll step on my throat. I'm looking forward to it. You got to go out. Hey, Nick. Give me a hug.

Hey. What the fuck? I just love those kind of guys. Yeah. Right there. Quincy guys are you met them? They're very likable. They're fun.

Those guys are great. Yeah. It's also to because like the dynamic between them is like when you get them privately, they're like, hey, man, thanks for looking after Mitch. That's such fucking bullshit. They're always like, you know, he's got he's he's been having some problems. What are you talking about? Thanks for helping out my boy.

This is insane. You know, Mitch would be nowhere without you. Thanks. Like fucking bullshit. I don't need someone to look after me. I'm not a charity case. Yeah, you do. You got him right.

No offense, but you fucking need. You fucking stupid. There are. I didn't say a name, but there were. I told you this before when I did birthday boys and I was at a wedding and a Quincy guy was like, let me tell you the problem with your show. That's great. He just told me parts.

He didn't think it was funny. Like I don't like this guy. He'd say stuff like that, but now I'm doing this weird New York accent. That doesn't isn't a Boston accent at all. I can't do the Boston accent. It's a I lost mine. I didn't lose it. It comes out.

It comes out a few minutes ago. I was going to call it out, but I thought I'd let you have. You said like March. You said March or something or drawer. Oh, really? Yeah. It comes out a little bit. That is that is the that's the number one.

You you've heard me talking to my mom. I'll go back into it and I do yelling ma for my basement is like one of the things I do the most. Yeah. And you are always mad. For a guy who misses his mom so much and goes to spend so much time with her than just you guys are just yelling at each other the whole time. Oh, there's a problem with missing mommy.

No, it's good that you miss your mom. I just thought would have expected you guys to have a more outwardly loving relationship. I miss very hostile. Well, she could be a fucking pain in the ass sometimes. Oh, I think the mom is only a pain in the ass. Yeah. Not my mom.

She's wonderful. You know what my biggest issue with her? I'm going to 425 for the fries. Yeah. I'm in fries to be 450 and they're not going to crisp up. Chris Bob oven fries isn't going to stick like your hot salad. Nice try salad. Johnny, you you were telling us we were discussing restaurants to go to and

one of the ones you threw out and we actually we we hit it up recently with our friend Jessica Chaffin very, very recently, but you are someone who patronizes Starbucks often. How frequently are you at Starbucks? Sometimes when we first we just moved to Burbank and there's a Starbucks. It's about a block from our house. Oh, wow. And we first moved because like I just didn't couldn't be bothered to do the

things you have to do to live in a house. I would go there sometimes as much as three times a day. Three times a day. Wow. I'll have breakfast, lunch and have like, well, someone said go. I'd buy enough for later. I buy like I have breakfast there and I buy a sandwich to have for lunch, but I just would go there a lot.

So you're not just you're not just getting drinks there. You're getting a lot of food from Starbucks or were I tend to get more food than I do drinks from Starbucks. That's crazy. What are your go-tos? There's the dill have already sandwich, which is pretty damn good. That's really good. They have.

I really do like those stupid little boxes like the little protein box. Oh, OK. Those are if you're ever on tour at all. That's the thing about Starbucks is so great is because it always smells the same. Right. All the food is always everything is the same. So I think this place you can just go into and kind of relax and know that. Okay.

At least I can go to Starbucks and get something that is. Yeah. It's edible. Right. And get a little fucking parboiled egg, a piece of cheese, a little packet of Justin's almond butter and like a little, this weird little biscuit thing has a, has a raisin in it. I'll eat it.

You know, we just did Starbucks. We were, we were mean to it. We had pretty bad experience there. But I will say the idea of that snack, those snack packs, I think I would do those over almost anything else maybe. Well, because they're the carrots and hummus or carrots and ranch or whatever. It's very consistent. Yeah.

The prepackaged predictability, I think is how we did get one of those, but it was specifically for kids and it just had the centerpiece was just a very, very subpar PB and J. Yeah. I think you have to get the things that are the components and not the things that are constructed. Right. That makes sense. But I do like the other stuff to have.

We do like the breakfast sandwiches quite a bit. What do you go with for a breakfast sandwich? I like the double roasted ham on the croissant. Okay. That one's very good. I also like the Gouda with the, I can't think what it is, but it's good. Does it have an egg on there? It's got egg, bacon and Gouda.

Yeah. I think so. Oh wow. It's all good. I think in Mexico City, I, there was a Starbucks there and the, by the way, Nick said, I have like two lines in this movie, Nick, but that was very nice of you to say your Hollywood breakout performance. What do you know?

You have two lines and I have the editor yet. They, they, that's fair. I might have zero lines. I might have zero lines. I have what's called no line. I have what's called extra features. You know what though? I'm in a key moment, which is always good when you have one or two lines that.

Oh, you think it's a key moment, huh? They're going to have to, do you know what they're going to have to, if the editor is going to have to really earn his paycheck to cut around me. I've been in key moments that didn't make it. Like cut around you. You mean like in terms of rotoscoping you out of the frame. It's just a lot of the effects work. Put some dead actors face on sign it with their life rights.

You've been like deep faked. They might put a, I don't know what they could replace me with a mound of a leaf pile or something. I don't know what they would put in place of me. Grimace. I did. I did. I did tell a story.

We were shooting and someone stepped on a great and the great opened up in like twenty gigantic cockroaches came out of the great block and the actress who was on the scene was laying on the ground Jesus and I before there were spiders that came out and I stepped on the spiders and she was like, thank you. And then I, there was an extra behind me. She was clawing onto my back and I didn't know why and I turned around and saw all these cockroaches and I, I was about to stop the scene. It was fucking awful because, because I, because she was laying down.

I thought she was going to get, I thought the cockroaches going to run all over, but, but you stayed in it because you're a professional. I did. Uh, I ain't a coward. I didn't want to get in trouble. Um, but I got one of the actors got McDonald's that night. Oh, McDonald's in front countries is the best and it felt so much like home. I felt so much like home in Starbucks too.

It just, I like, I know that we know that we talk about how these places are bad too and, and, and you know, like when I was down in Mexico City, I ate a lot of great food there that was local, of course, but then, uh, it would just, it was just such a nice reminder of home, especially if you were living, if you were there for like a month or a couple months or something like that. Was it different at all? Because a lot of times you're like subtly different. I think a different sauce or something.

The sweet and sour sauce tasted different to me. Was it sweeter? It was like weirdly sweeter. Yeah. And I, but I don't know if that's what it was. There was also a Godzilla thick burger Nick that isn't in the states that I wish I got from Carl's Jr. That's wild.

That I, that I, that I was really sad that I didn't get because I saw it as soon as I got the plan. I just figured that it was in the United States. Why is that up here? I don't know. Bring that up here. That's a fun. It's a fun.

It's already fun. The Godzilla thick burger. That's funny. What seems gross? I don't know. Godzilla's a lizard. I mean, maybe do you know he's, he's not a lizard. No, he is.

He is. Yeah. No, I meant maybe it seems gross to you, but Nick. Yeah. What do you think? What do you think? What do you think Godzilla is? A guy.

I guess alligator meat before. Oh yes, I have. I have. Actually, this was a, we had an alligator cheesecake. Oh yeah. It was a savory cheesecake in New Orleans and it was fucking fantastic. I was with you. Okay.

I never heard of that. Yeah. It was a, it was a, this restaurant. Jocky Mose, our butter, our butter van. I worked at Jock. Oh yeah. You been there? I went to Jock Mose about 16 years ago.

Oh wow. Before it blew up. Wow. Yeah. It's this whole, it's a scene now. Yeah. It's a real fucking scene there. Now you got to get down to Jock Mose.

Oh God. We don't got none of them. We don't got none of them. All of them fries down here on the bayou. Is that your Cajun friend? That's my Cajun guy. So, okay. So you, you're a Starbucks, you go to Starbucks frequently.

Yeah. Like what, what is you, but is that just like your, because you were telling us you eat a lot in terms of, especially in the morning. Yeah. I mean, I don't have a large intestine. Okay. Because I had taken out about, I don't know, a long time ago because I had colitis for so bad for so long.

It's like a thing you get removed if you, if, because I guess like the longer you have a large intestine and it doesn't work well, your chance of getting colon cancer just keep tripling every year. Oh, wow. So they just take it out and evidently you can live pretty normally without it. So as a result, like when I eat something, it doesn't stand me as long because there's less, there's less place for it to stay. So, you know, that's like the most, the most basic non gross way to describe it, I guess.

I think people get the picture. So it's like, I'm, so, because I'm trying to, I infer from the terminology that the large intestine is like the bulk of your intestine, right? Well, the last part, it's the colon. So it's the part that like, it's responsible for certain vitamin extraction also is responsible for a lot of your hydration comes from your colon, too. So I drink a lot of water and I take vitamins supplements and, but yeah, so I just tend to get, when breakfast comes around, I'm hungry.

Right. And I love breakfast. I'll have to more have, I usually have two breakfasts. Two breakfasts. I have like a first thing, I'll wipe my teeth, steeping, I'll eat something. And then, and like maybe two hours later, I'll have something, I just realized I do this. I have to, I usually, I almost always have chips, chips at like 10 a.m. Like just potato chips?

Yeah. Potato chips. Wow. So I like to have, because I like a sweet breakfast, I'm a sweet breakfast guy, but I like to have some of that salt and if I don't get some salt with my sweet breakfast, I got to have that salt later on. Tolkien would be, uh, be proud. I think he would.

100%. He's a, he wrote about second breakfasts, correct? Here we are. We've got a hobbit talking to a, a Gimli. And over here, I'm Lego Laws. Oh, we're about 11thies, sir, 11thies, have a, can we, just a bit of, just to ration real quick. Can we, can we have a sturd on the fire and me, my fork, Gimli, don't touch that.

That's all we have left. I like that. You're Legolas. He thinks he's Legolas. Yeah. He's svelte and fast. You're not Legolas. I'm good with a bow and arrow.

You're also your people live for like forever. That's like your nightmare. Yeah, I wouldn't want that. I was going to say that. I don't know. I'm pretty sure I don't have a small intestine. I probably have too large. You got a small one, baby.

I got a small one. I got a small one. Yeah, the small one's long. I was just, I was making a big joke. Oh, cause you're a large man. I get what you were, I get you what you were doing. I was unclear. I thought you were saying like, cause I know you have some, you sometimes have some stomach

issues. I do. We, we were talking about some stuff. It seems, it seems, but it seems like a, well, you do a good job with it also. You really, you watch what you eat mostly and I have to kind of, but some stuff I just can't eat. Right. So you do, you eat chicken wings twice a year.

Yeah. Well, basically whenever I'm like, okay, I'm, I'm ready for this pain. Yeah. You ever have a hot exit? Oh God. Yes. I think I, I think I can piece it together. Yeah.

Sometimes I'll get a hot exit and it's, it's, it's so painful. It's really just, it's not even funny. Right. Yeah. It's a kind of thing where it just, it's so painful. That is brutal. Yeah. So I just will, sometimes chicken wings are that good though.

Right. Wings are just so good. That makes me think my stomach is messed up because I, every time I, I don't eat spicy foods anymore because of a similar. When you say stomach though, do you mean stomach or do you mean, cause people love to say, I have a stomach problem when I have diarrhea, you know? Cause your stomach, your stomach doesn't do a whole lot of, some of it doesn't, the first part of the work.

Yeah. So I think, I think it's later half that we're talking about. So it's not stomach. Yeah. It's like a bowel issue. I think I have a bowel issue. Yeah. Yeah.

That's all for any sort of a, a downstairs distress, but people don't like to talk about farting. People don't like to talk about, yeah. We definitely don't like to talk about that here. No. Well, I mean, this is a food, I feel like people are like, people are like, it's food related. You're right. But we don't, we don't talk about shit a lot on this show.

No. I think because even though that's the inevitable byproduct of eating food, but because I think because people like to listen to it cause they're food fans or food freaks, they don't like to think about like shit falling out of their asshole. And not like a whatever the, whatever the shit. It happens to everybody downstairs distress. Yeah. You said Jesus is good.

It's a bit, you know, it's, I think like we all have, for me, intestinal issues, it does for me, the, the, the intestinal issues I have are like, like I, it's, I'm sure it's not as pronounced as either of you guys. I don't have anything chronic, but I, it is predictable. I am like, okay. I know what I'm, I know I'm punishing myself. I had French toast on Sunday. And like, I don't usually, I know you're saying you're a sweet breakfast guy, but I don't

normally have like a big, heavy sweet breakfast. And I know like later, this is going to be bad for me. Later, this is going to be unpleasant. And sure enough, it was, but like, like if I have, if I have, if I eat, if I watch what I eat, I can like make sure that I'm not having, not doing that to myself. It is like, you know, rarely am I hit with a curveball. Yeah. Does that, I mean, am I making sense?

Don't be, am I being too, am I talking around it too much? No, no, I think I get what you're saying. Yeah. But you, like for you, what, what, what do you, what like triggers thing? Any, any spicy food? I mean, my stomach is always, well, my, my bowels or whatever, always hurting, unless I, unless I eat very specifically and eat yogurt every day. Right.

Yeah. I have yogurt every day. Yeah. Do you really? Pretty much. I have this, there's a sheep's milk yogurt from this farm in Sonoma that I, Oh wow. I mean, it's like some of the sheep's milk yogurt is supposed to be much better for

you. Right. And I just like the way it tastes. And that's sort of, you find that, that, that has a settling of your stomach over time effect on it? I think it does. I just like the way it tastes. And I just, I like to be consistent.

Right. So easy to, I guess I just like the consistency of, of having the, the nice fatty yogurt because it's full, it's full fat. Can you handle, you gotta have full fat. Oh, this is full fat, man. Yeah. Can you handle like just cause, cause for me, and this is my like, I'm, I'm pretty good with dairy, but like, I just like a glass of milk is like, that's not going to work

for me. I do like no dairy ever. No dairy except for the yogurt. I don't like, I don't like, I love pizza and that is, that's my weakness. Okay. Sorry. When I said no dairy ever, I meant no. I meant that's not, I'll have like margarita pizza.

Sure. Okay. Cause that kind of cheese is okay. Like the fresh mozzarella is okay. Right. But like bad, like shitty cheese. Yeah. I don't do shitty cheese.

I eat so much shitty cheese. Yeah. I'm sure that's not good for me. I eat a lot of just like fucking packaged, like American single style like shitty, shitty processed cheese. Yeah. Or like fast food cheese, like whatever they're throwing on a Carl's Jr. bacon, Western cheese burger.

Right. Like I put that in my body. Yeah. Like the chat, any kind of cheese, it's not just, if you're not there for the cheese, it's probably bad cheese. You know what I mean? Got it. It's not like the, if it's not the centerpiece, it's probably just shit cheese.

It's filled with lactose. Yeah. That makes it hard. You know it tastes great. I love it. I love like the shredded handful of cheddar they'll put on chili cheese fries. I fucking love that shit. Yeah.

You love chili cheese fries. I do love chili cheese fries and I love regular cheese fries too. Do you love queso? I do like queso. I, you know, as someone who, I'm from Southern California, so that's less of a presence in the Mexican food out here. But when I've had queso, I enjoy it. I like it.

It's not a thing I crave all the time though. Queso is a new one. I realize I just can't eat it even though it's so good. I just can't, I can't ever eat it again, I think. Yeah. I think unless I maybe have a bunch of things just, I don't know, like it's like a battle or something I'm gonna be prepared for. It's like a cream soup.

Like there's so much like dairy in that. It's just, it's so super heavy. Are you okay with dairy? I, no, I don't, I don't like to, I don't like, I don't like, I don't like, I don't, I never like to have milk ever. What kind of yogurt do you have in the morning? I'm doing faye. Faye.

Is this having any sugar in it? It does. I do the honey and I do a honey and Greek yogurt mix and that Greek yogurt and I put fruit in there sometimes. What kind of fruit? Can fruit? No, I'll put in some raspberries or blueberries. Okay.

This is good. Yeah. And that's kind of a fresh raspberries. Yeah. Yeah. Just the little package of the store. That sounds great. Sounds delightful.

It is good. Nick, when he said, you know how you fucked an apple? When he said hot exit, did you think that was fucking a jalapeno? How opinions are too small? Yeah. Not a Mitch's mind. Not from Mitch's point of reference. I like a big Sonora pepper.

I like a big Anaheim chili. Ma, give me the Anaheim chili for me, Ma. I'm gonna fuck it, Ma. Ma, what's my fucking chili? My mom does not. My mom does not bake me things to fuck. That's a great saying. You had to say that.

My mom does not bake me things to fuck. No one assumed that was the case. No one assumed we were reflecting reality there. Mitch, I got you apple pie. Mitch. So, okay. You know what? Yeah.

That American pie, that's really good. The American pie is funny. I mean, like, just the fact that, like, have sex with a pie. That's funny. That's a funny joke. We like that movie. Do you want the air on, Nick? Sure.

Are you feeling warm? Ask our guest. Guest? I'll take a blast. There we go. Here comes the blast. Oh, shit, that's cold, actually. 70.

I'll put it a nice 70. Okay, great. The temp's at 70 for anyone tracking at home, anyone monitoring the Doughboy's Wikipedia. It's that time of year. It's just gonna get a little steamy sometimes. Around the 40-minute mark, we set the temperature to 70 degrees here at Mitch's apartment. It's the 40-minute mark. Yeah.

Just shit. Time flies when you're talking about shit. So okay, so because this was the thing, and we'll get into our restaurant in one second, but we were part of how this came about, and part of why we're talking about this now is because you said specifically we got an apple, a pastry, an apple turnover, and you were like, I don't eat apples, which is an aversion I've never heard of, I've never heard of anyone not eating apples. Nick stood up and said, you don't fuck apples?

I like apples. I used to like them a lot, but then I found out there's a diet called FODMAPS, which I try to do. It's an acronym for something, it's F-O-D-M-A-P-S. It's basically you can't, I don't eat any beans unless they're refried. Oh man, I love beans. No cruciferous vegetables, like no brassicas, so that's no cauliflower, brussel sprouts, kale, broccoli.

This is stuff I love. No onions or garlic. Oh my god. Damn, fuck. Well, that's basically only raw onions or garlic. Right. No dairy, obviously. It says no gluten, but I don't have a problem with that necessarily.

It's the worst diet. It's basically the hardest diet to do because it's like a combination of all these different things. Right. But apples have something in them. They have like a type of starch when they're raw, the same as like a potato would. Okay. You know how like when a banana is green, it tastes different than when it's really

yellow? Yes. When it's really yellow, it's very sweet and like a, almost like a honey sense. Right. When it's green, it's not, it's more like a starchy thing. It's that, it's that, that's the best example of it is that apples have that pre-sugar starch and that for some reason people with my kind of bowels that causes like a, it causes a problem.

Wow. That's crazy. I was eating apples forever thinking I was like, oh, this is a good thing, healthy thing. Right. And I would notice I wouldn't feel great afterwards and I stopped eating apples, raw apples and I just was like, oh, that was a, that was 100% a bad thing that I couldn't handle eating. Man, sometimes apples give me the rumblies. Is it the, it's so fast because all this starch, I guess like the starch is different

than sugar because it causes like, I don't know, I don't want to get in the weeds with this. Right. I don't even know, but it's something with starch as opposed to sugar. Same. If Matt Damon had tried that, hey, do you like apples thing on you? How do you like them apples? How do you like them apples?

But he starts with like, do you like apples? And he's like, yeah. And he's like, well, I got her number. How do you like them apples? But the first part of that setup wouldn't work on Johnny because it doesn't like apples. Well, I do like apples. Okay. If they're, I would say, well, have they been cooked?

And he'd say, what do you mean? Is this like a dessert or like a, no, yeah, like a dessert, had they been cooked with cinnamon, but not having sugar added and he would say, well, I suppose, yeah, they have. And I'd say, I would like those apples. Yeah. And then he would finally say, how do you like, I got her number. How do you like them apples? And I would say, yeah, I, well, that's not, it's a number, not an apple, but I would

try it. You know, then he would just, he would go away. Nick, I don't know if Nick has seen, have you seen the movie? I've seen Goodwill Hunting. Okay. Yeah. I saw it in a theater. Wow.

Really? I saw all the movies of that year. What was that? 95? You saw every movie of 1995? I saw every 95. No, whatever, whatever year that, I saw it because I used to see it and now I don't see anything, but I used to see every Oscar nominee, every like, I was like, that was the thing

I tried to make a point of doing because it was, it's fun. And then you have your own picks. And then when someone's like, I hope blank wins, you can be like, well, I, I've seen everything. So I don't just have a favorite because that's the one I've seen. I've actually seen everything and I can compare them to each other. I don't know. It's fun.

I can, I can see that. Yeah. Yeah. It seems fun. I used to like doing that. I don't do it anymore. Have you seen the director's kind of Goodwill Hunting? Have I?

Yeah. No, no. They, uh, Damon says, uh, I got a number. How do you like them oven fries? And he puts the, right. And they, Gus Van Sant figured out, or he, he got a note from the studio that the audiences, test audiences were confused with that movie. People are really confused about this oven fry is that and Van Sant was like, well, that's

my vision. I'm keeping in the movie and the producers overrode him and we're like, well, you know, fucking Harvey Weinstein, that's who it was. And he overrode. Oh, that piece of shit. He's like, we're getting oven fries out of there. Now I'm going to make Ella Fenty screamed and a psycho remake where he jacks off. You do that?

Yeah. He did. Yeah. That habit. Did the psycho. The Vince Vaughn. Vince Vaughn jacks off. I didn't even know that existed.

Wow. Vince Vaughn plays Norman Bates. Yeah. It's like a shot for shot remake of that. Jesus Christ. With Vince Vaughn. I don't even know that exists. It's very strange.

It's a weird cut. It's like a precursor to the Disney live animated live action animated remakes of like the psycho movie. It's like we're going to re re shoot a movie cover version of an existing movie. And now they're doing it. Now Lion King and Aladdin are like the biggest fucking thing on earth. That Aladdin thing seems like an oof. Yeah.

Hey, you know what? I want it to be good. Fingers crossed. I loved Aladdin as a boy. I hope I can enjoy the live action version as a man. I just it just feels like a like a a nightmare you have when you're I don't know you pass out or something. Right.

It's a giant Will Smith in front of you. He's blue half the time. Yeah. I don't. It's a weird thing that they're doing Nick. It is strange. And there's also like a Jack Allison sent a photo of a what nothing I like it. Let's talk about Jack Allison's Twitter account.

No, he said he sent a photo to me of them taking down the Avengers Endgame poster and putting up the Aladdin one and it blended into each other perfectly. Wow. That's cool. Actually, I like that. I like this Illuminati shit. We got going on. Yeah.

If they found a way to communicate an idea to people, just bleed it until it's until it's dead. Yeah. Just suck all the blood out of it. Just suck on that blood blood cow. Here's what I here's what I heard about the new Aladdin. Here's the scene where Vince Vaughn jacks off. I didn't know he was in it.

That's great. I'm gonna go see it now. We'll take a break. We'll be back with more Doughboys. Welcome back to Doughboys. We're here with Johnny Pemberton. Today we went to our chain as a group. And now and Johnny, you're the one who has some some French speaking in your background.

So you may a little bit. You may be able to correct my pronunciation. The pan quotidian something like around there. That's kind of what it is. You could. I guess you could say it. The pan quotidian. Oh, got it.

Okay. Get that. And you want to get in the real like nasally in right right to say yeah. This is a little dirty. What I'm about to say, but it's true. You really stress the tiddy and quit to the end. You did. Yeah.

The pan. That's how I pronounce it. That's how I live. The pain quote tiddy and I just say LaPanne. Yeah, because I don't know how to say the word after what it's a tricky one. After it. Quotidian. Quotidian sounds like a.

It sounds like a Star Wars video game protagonist. Quotidian, come here. I say, why is Quotidian on this level? He's not authorized. Quotidian is not authorized for leather pieces. So the name translates to the daily bread that was the pain quotient. That's the pain. Oh, I used to call it all the time was I'm going to paint quotient.

It was it was founded in Brussels in 1990, 250 locations worldwide. Wow. And it came to the U.S. in 1997, so okay, as someone who has some 97 is later than that I would think. Yeah. What's it? You know, most of the chains we review here, it's rare when we do one that didn't start in the U.S., but there are a handful of international chains that have made their way stateside.

This is one of them. So Johnny is someone who has some dietary restrictions, some things you can and can't eat. I know you're saying you're pretty good with gluten. Do you like baked goods? You a baked good fan? Yeah, I'm a big baked good fan, the point where it's started to become if I get coffee someplace and I leave without a baked good, I just have regret for almost the rest of

the day. Right. Like I wanted to get that. What are your go-tos? Like a good chocolate croissant. We fucked up. We were supposed to get a croissant. I forgot to order it.

They were out of the chocolate croissants. Yeah, they were out of them. But they had the almond one. Yeah. Almond croissant is pretty damn good too. I do like a muffin. Anything with blueberries in it, anything with blueberries, no matter what. I don't know.

I like a scone, a good scone. Oh, sure. Damn, blueberries work so well in baked goods. Blueberries are great. And it's not my favorite, that's not my favorite fruit, blueberries. I'm a pineapple fan, but then the opposite, I never want like a pineapple turnover or something. Yeah.

Even like a pineapple upside down cake, not as satisfying. Yeah. It's too like trickly. Yeah. It's too, it's just as too thick or something like a, the blueberries, man, a blueberry muffin. That's the best muffin. Do you like a blueberry pie though?

Because I'm not sure if it's the best berry for pies. Yes. I do like a blueberry pie. You do like it. Okay. I do. I guess actually went, no, I'm thinking of it. Hey, hold on.

Take it easy. Take it down a notch. Um, the, uh, uh, the blue, I've had it, one of the best desserts I ever had was this now, now closed restaurant in New York City Union Square Cafe, or maybe they moved it, but they closed the original location and it was a slice of blueberry pie with like this lemon ice cream on top of it. It was so, it was such a great piece of pie. And then just like the ice cream was just, it was like the perfect flavor, that little

bit of citrus worked, worked so, so well. What I've learned is that blueberries have so much pectin in them that you can add lemon juice to them to help break it down. So if you think like a blueberry smoothie or a blueberry ice cream, you have to add some like acid to it, which is usually lemon juice. Right. So that's why there's always a combination of lemon or blueberry. That's crazy.

It's so good. The blue, yeah. Blueberry pie. I like, I like strawberry. I also like strawberry. That's probably strawberries in my next, in close to blueberry. Yeah. Like a strawberry muffin.

Right. Like a strawberry barb. Oh, that's fun. That's a lot of fun. A strawberry pie, maybe I like maybe more than blueberry. Oh man. Yeah. You get a strawberry pie.

That's delightful if it's in season. Yeah. That's really good. I don't like, I like, I'm okay with cherry pie, but I feel like it has such like a kind of, it has like kind of a horny like connotation, you know what I mean? Because of the song? Because of the warrant song. Yeah.

Because of the warrant? Because of the warrant song. I just like, I can, I can, can't separate that. Cherry pies, I like it, but it is very always sweet. Yes. It's so tart or whatever. Like that syrupy sweet as opposed to. Right.

Yeah. They're trying to overcrack for the tartness of the, of the cherries. It's sweet and tart. They're, they're close. Right? They're neighbors. They're neighbors. I have had a sweet tart.

That is, that is, and that's my issue with sweet tarts is my issue with a cherry pie. It's, it's just too much. It makes me wince, you know? Yeah. Yeah. But, but, but probably actually, you know what, I like, like a cream pie. Right. A pie with cream in it.

They kind of used to like throw in someone's face, like a prop pie, like a prop. I'm bow Howard pie. I, I, I mean, if there's some, if there's some strawberries in that cream pie, then yes, I do. I, that's the type of pie I like. By the way. Custard thing. See, I'm not, I love custard.

Yeah. Custard to add some blueberries onto that custard. It's going to get stole. I get confused about custer because some people use custard as a frozen dessert and other people use it as like a non-frozen. Okay. So you, you get confused. I get confused as to what custard means when someone says custard.

Okay. And I would say the French would say it's not frozen. Right. But I've heard people say this ruins your enjoyment of it. I just like, I don't know what we're talking about when someone brings up custard. I'm lost. That tart we had today. Yes.

That tart, that had custard in it. Okay. So that was a custard. Yeah. It was a custard. Got it. It's like a, I don't know what it is exactly. I just know it's got eggs in it.

And I like anything that's egg based. Right. Let's talk about Lepan a little bit. What is your, Johnny, you've been to this chain a number of times. It seems like it was a go-to for you at some point. Yeah. I think so. I used to go to therapy in Beverly Hills and there was one by there.

And so I would go, I would go to there afterwards. Right. It was like, oh, I, I just, a gift. Yeah. Or it was also just lunchtime. I like, I don't know, something about the, something about Lepan Coutilien that reminds me of, it's kind of a comfort food for me in some weird way. I don't know why, but I guess cause it's like, sort of reminds me of food my mom would make

kind of. Interesting. Yeah. It's sort of like, it is trying very hard to not feel chainy. It's trying to feel like, kind of like homey and like a neighborhood place. You even pointed out the signage of the location we went to, we went to the Larchmont Village location here in LA that the, that you can't even tell it's a Lepan from outside. There's just, it's just kind of like a hidden sort of, they have like a, the signage is

very, very discreet. Here's what I think about this place. Very light. Nick, we were talking about how there's a, we go to these restaurants, we eat, like we figured out that we probably eat closer to 15 to 2000 calories for every meal we eat. And then today it was like, we probably only ate about close to a thousand calories. Yeah. Not as bad as we know.

And it felt like I don't, I don't feel sick. Like I do leaving a lot of restaurants and the thing I got wasn't the most light thing on the menu either. That was probably the least light thing. It looked like a half a cheese pizza. This, this may be your whole thing talking about, you know, trying to be healthy. Yeah. If you just ate to a point where you didn't feel sick, you right.

That's all you got to do with the show, almost now. I think we almost always eat to the point where we're sick, but you wouldn't you say that like, yeah, probably 90% of the time we go to a restaurant, we eat to the point where we're sick. It's hard to and then outside of it, I try that outside of it. I try not to do it anymore. I have a big problem with it. And I don't know if it's, if it's portion control, it is portion control, but my problem

is that I like, I have that, that, that depression era, Hoover eyes, your plate at like a attitude, which apparently the etymology that doesn't come from Hoover, the vacuum, which people think it is. It's from, it's from the president, it's from the president, Herbert Hoover, who like encouraged people to Hoover eyes their food. But so I, when there were shortages. So yeah, I like, if I have something on my plate, I will finish that. I almost never have leftovers.

I almost never take anything to go. I certainly will never be like, like, oh, take this plate away. I'm done with it. I feel like I have, I feel compelled to finish it. And so yeah, I'm sure that, I mean, that means I overeat at times. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.

Me too. I, you know, surprisingly, the, the one I ordered, there were, there were of all the, because I didn't want to, I didn't want to do a salad. The salad seemed too plain to me. Right. Salads are good there. I should have got a salad there. Are they again?

Yeah. Cause there was a certain type of dressing. It's not French dressing. There's a type of French dressing that uses like mustard and it's mustard, vinegar and oil and it's something else, but it's fucking good. The reason, so I was looking at that cob salad. The reason I didn't get it was cause it said it had a T dressing, T, T, E, yeah. T, E, A T dressing.

I didn't even know what that meant. Like that just let some Earl gray over it. Some romaine. It seemed weird. So I stayed away from it. And then I got, uh, and then there was a grain bowl, but the grain bowl was a hundred calories more than what I got. And then, and then the only, the only, uh, the only one that had less calories

than the chicken mozzarella, uh, was the turkey. Uh, so I had more cows than yours. Yours had more cows. Wow. Well, let's get into our meal a little bit. I started with the, the lemonade iced tea, uh, which I, which you also got Mitch when you arrived. Um, and Johnny, you got yourself a regular iced tea, I believe.

Here's what I like. So we were sitting at the big communal table, which I guess is a feature of all the lip hands, uh, and, uh, and I didn't realize they had table service there. I thought this was an eat at the counter place, but no, they come, some servers come around and they'll take your order and then they bring you your drink in a glass and you get a little carafe to pour over ice for refills, which is a lot of fun. It's wonderful.

It's such a great experience to have the carafe. It puts you in control. Yeah. I really like it. It was, it was great. Yeah. It was a good lemonade, like lemonade iced tea, Arnold Palmer. It was, it was a very good ratio.

Uh, you know, I've discussed how I like my, my, I have my personal creation, the Nick Weiger, which is two thirds iced tea, uh, one third, uh, lemonade as opposed to the Arnold Palmer, which is half and half. This was, you can't call it. This was, I will say, this, this beverage I invented, I will say that this was adjacent to that. It wasn't too sweet. It was, it had like a good ratio of lemonade to, uh, to iced tea and then the

lemonade was pulpy fresh. Like you could see the pulp within it. So yeah, I enjoyed it. It was very, very refreshing. You can't call it the Nick Weiger. You just did though. Yeah, I did. I did.

I mean, if other people start calling it that, then I guess you can. If you go to a restaurant and someone says, Oh, um, all of an art, actually, no, I'll have a Nick Weiger. Yeah. If you do that, you know what, I would love people to say that people listen to the show, please order Nick Weiger at a restaurant. You want to, if enough people do it, then the people who work at the restaurants would be, what is that?

Oh, okay. I don't know about that. And they'll start to train people in. Okay. Um, so this is a Nick Weiger. What's a Nick Weiger? Oh, so that's the thing. A lot of people order here.

It's actually two thirds tea and one through lemonade. Really? Why? Oh, it's a guy. Yeah. So this is the back. Let me IMDB this Nick Weiger real quick. Oh, since he played Santa in this shitty sketch from 2007.

Weird. Fuck. Uh, yes, it's a, uh, it's good. It's, it's a good, it was a, it's good. Bevin, you, you were happy with that iced tea? It's, you know, it's a classic. It's simple. Right.

Uh, you got the black tea, right? Yeah. I'm a big black tea guy. Right. Yeah. I don't know if I'm, if I black or green, I vacillate. If I have the choice, I'll just like, that's a coin flip to me. I'm always black because black has more caffeine.

It's more like, it's got more bite to it. Right. Yeah. I guess sometimes, like, I feel like green sometimes has like a little bit more of a, a little more character to it, depending on where you're getting it. It depends on the tea, but black tea is always black tea. Right. Uh, and then we got into our foods.

I got the fuck. And you know what? I'm going to have to look at my, we'll start here. You got the what? He got the fuck. The special pie. Insert. Uh, we got the, we started with the organic Dutch mini pancakes.

And this was a, these are like little, they're like smaller than silver dollar pancakes. They're a little last pancake. Those are something that doesn't exist. I think. Right. What I've had Dutch pain, I grew up having Dutch pancakes at this restaurant in Minnesota called Panakuchen, which Panakuchen is the word for

Dutch, it's a Dutch word for pancake, I think. And a Dutch pancake to me is like, it's their mass of the size of a, like a dinner plate, a whole dinner plate. And they curve upper, like an upside down mushroom. So I thought we were going to have little, which if that was the case, that would be super impressed by a bunch of little miniature upside down pancake. This was not what they look like. These look like kind of like little sweet raviolos basically.

They were super good. They were good. They were very good. They had a nice, nice texture to them. We had some bananas on top. They give you like this maple butter that they give you an ample amount of. And yeah, it's fun and very easy to share pancakes for the table style. Mitch, were you going to, what did you think of those?

Uh, I thought they were good. I didn't know that they were small more than they were coming. And, uh, and, and then I, so that changed the way it tastes. I didn't know that Dutch mini pancakes were going to be small. The organic Dutch mini pancakes. I guess I didn't know they were going to be that small. I didn't know that they were going to be little, uh, little. Also, I was looking up, I was looking up at these calories.

Uh, and I now think that the grilled chicken thing had maybe the most of the tarteens I could, I, but I can't really, but I can't, yeah, what I got, but I can't really figure it out cause they're all different menus. Anytime you see something where the part that's covered by the cheese can't be seen because of the cheese, I feel like that's the, that's the one. Well, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'll get into that. I'll get into that tarteens, you know, cause I was jealous of you, but to, to, to start off the, with the, with the mini pancakes, they were, they were good.

They, they, they were, they were, they were, they were, yeah, they were fun. Uh, I think that they were really made by that, that butter there. Right. That butter was really tasty. I could have eaten about 40 of them. I think. Right. Yeah.

If that was my meal, I'm not sure if I'd be satisfied, but it's a little like, like a little fun thing for the table. I think it was, it worked. And, and I think if you were a kid, I think for a kid, that, that would be the, what they'd be, they'd be excited. Fresh, fresh fruit on there. You know, the bananas were fresh and they tasted good. So I asked our servers a lot of questions and at some point we, cause

we were waiting for Mitch for a little bit. Um, and, uh, we, our original server, our original server, like, I don't know if she got tired of us or what, or her shift change, shift change. Cause I like, I felt self-conscious cause I asked her like eight questions before we ordered anything cause we were waiting for Mitch. And then at some point she disappeared and this honk appeared. And we had this, this, we had this French lady. Uh, and then we had this, this, this American good old fashioned honk, who

was serving us, I knew that you were going to think he was a hunk. What I, I mean, I can now, I know, I now know you're. He was a bit dismissive too. Even more attractive. Don't like me. I like you more. Um, uh, yes. Yeah.

I saw that lady walking out. She quit. Fucking Liger. As you learned my name. Fucking Estonians. Shoot that males. Um, I had the, uh, the baker's breakfast as my entree and I added the smoked salmon. Uh, so our first server had recommended the avocado toast, the baker's breakfast.

You get the avocado toast, you get a soft boiled egg. You can add a protein if you like, which I chose to do so. And then you get a side kale salad, the, the avocado toast, which was, she was very, very high on delivered. It was a good avocado toast. There was like on this, this whole grain bread that was nice and ample amount of avocado, they weren't messing around with it. You know, it was simple and it's straightforward.

I always feel stupid ordering avocado toast in a restaurant because it's a thing I can make at home. Yeah. That's such a clear, it's like ordering a grilled cheese sandwich. Like I can make this at home for 75 cents and I just paid $14 for this. Yeah. If you got your grilled cheese in a restaurant too, it's sometimes it's like, Oh, this is a restaurant grilled cheese.

So it's going to have so much cheese is going to make you sick. Yeah. A sick amount of monster and rest, race, let's, and yeah, yeah, yeah. It's plus top a little bit, but this was, this was like an extra thick grill and these, the ratio needs to be right. I agree. Yes. Absolutely.

They, they can't go too over the top with it and also don't add, don't add meter or anything or tomatoes or anything fucking weird. Keep it, keep it, keep it simple. Disagree with you. Sometimes I add tomato and sometimes bacon and tomato together. I had a guild fish. No, what is that? Guild cheese.

Guild cheese. Yeah. It's a grilled cheese with fish. That sounds weird. Yeah. What kind of fish? Any kind you got. That sounds banana.

I'm not sure if I'd be into that. Yeah. It's not very good. It's not good. Um, the kale salad was, it was nice and lightly dressed. It was not that mustard, a mustardy vinaigrette. It was a little bit more of a conventional, just sort of oil based dressing in the, um, uh, and, uh, you get a soft boiled egg, which I did not

know how to eat and I should have fucking seen this. Yeah. That was pretty frustrating. Yeah. I didn't like it. I also, I don't know what you were supposed to do. You get a little egg in a cup. Like, I'm like, are you fucking massacred this thing?

I didn't know what to do with it. You, you, you, you, you break in, you're like doing like this. And you were, we were watching you, Johnny and I, and you were, you were kind of cracking the top and then you just fucking started like, like, you started just like destroying it. Like, uh, like, uh, Lenny and it might have met. You just started to destroy the egg and you, and you really did real roar, role reversal for the two of us that I was the Lenny for once.

Um, yeah. No, I dug in there and I think I, maybe I just like put a little too much force behind it, but I, I made it inedible because I threw, I, I blended so much shell into the egg, but also I don't like the texture of a soft boiled egg. Give me a hard boiled egg. Soft boiled egg is weird. I find it off-putting or maybe go medium boiled, but I guess this was

well executed, but it's not a thing I liked today. I wasn't into it. You really, you really got the shell inside of it, which was, uh, yeah, you were really, you really clobbered it. I, I, I felt, I felt for you because it looked so good. Yeah. Was it still enjoyable or no? No, I don't, I like, I just don't like that kind of thing.

Like if the texture is too smooth and off, I find it off-putting. I feel like I'm eating uncooked, like warm egg, which I guess I am. What do you mean? It looks so good. It's just like an egg. It looks like an egg. Just, just there. There's an egg.

A soft boiled egg. That was such a fun little, uh, how do you eat a soft boiled egg? Cause I don't, how do you do it? Uh, you just crack the top lightly and then you kind of, you have to pull it apart. You don't let any of that, the top fall down into it too hard. Drink it or how do you get it? How do you do it?

So soft. What do you do? Uh, you dump it onto some toes. You can do it. You can dump it onto toast if you want to, but you scoop it. You, you lightly scoop it out and you scoop it out. Yeah. You eat some.

Yeah. You just kind of eat it like this. You go, yeah, you take a little spoonful and you, and you sip on it. Okay. I mean, I was making those slurping noises. Yeah. No, no, I heard doing, uh, but I, I did like the other components of the plate. The smoked salmon was, was nice.

It was a better quality than expected at a chain, at a chain. And, uh, the apple cut toast, like I said, delivered good kale salad. Yeah. Good, a good little, uh, little spread of breakfast foods that was, that was nice and light and tasty. Uh, Johnny, tell us about your breakfast or your meal rather. Uh, my meal was a salad niswa on a tarteen. So it's an open face sandwich.

I believe what they, what a tarteen is. Right. And it was, uh, I'm used to getting salad niswa. I'm a big fan of salad niswa. If I ever see it, I order it all the time cause it's like the perfect thing that has enough protein and enough other stuff, but also is still a salad. So it's like you're, you're not eating a bunch of bread, but this thing, it was really good.

I was surprised. So there was no, uh, there's no green beans on there, which is usually a staple of the salad niswa. There was no potato, which is also a staple. I think it had a hummus on the base. It has some pesto and I had the tuna. The polka oil tuna, which is really good capers and a bunch of, uh, green onions. I know it was really good.

I enjoyed it. Oh, it also had a hard boiled, hard boiled egg slices on the top of it. It looked great. I thought it was, it looked like a great open faced tuna sandwich with egg on it. It looked, it just looked really, it looked really nice. It was, it was great. Yeah. Was there anything in that niswa on that niswa tarteen that was like, oh,

well eating this is going to, I'm going to feel this later. Maybe the hummus, hummus, maybe a little bit or maybe the, uh, the pesto. Okay. But I, it's such a small amount overall, pretty safe for you, pretty safe for me. That's why I go for it. Because it's like typically it's like the magic salad for me because a normal salad niswa, I think is, uh, technically it's tuna, it's, uh, fingerling potatoes that are boiled, it's olives, it's green beans, it's, uh, capers.

Sometimes it's chopped onion, which I say, I say no, no. And it's, uh, like a salad, like a spring mix with a nice dressing on it. I like the magic salad for me. I think I probably would be like a chicken Caesar salad because it's like a very safe thing for me, but let us know out there your, your, your hashtag magic salad for me. Let us know what your, uh, what your favorite, what your go to is, what your safe salad is, bitch, your, your entree.

My entree was as we hinted at, was this chicken mozzarella. The French pizza you guys do oven fries here. I'm making little French pizzas tonight. It was grilled chicken and smoked mozzarella melt. There was a rule, which was under it, tomato salsa and basil oil. That's all that is said on there from what I thought it said 600 calories, which is around what a lot of these tartines were, but right on the one I found online, it says 680, but whatever.

Um, it was, it was good. It was, it was on like a, like a wheat bread. It was a, like an open face sandwich basic, right? It was, uh, it was, it was good. It, it, it was tasty. I don't know. It was a nice, it felt light. It felt lighter.

I know that it was one of the more heavy ones, I guess, but it, it, it felt like a nice light lunch. It didn't feel that bad at all. I felt good leaving. Even though there was cheese on top of it, it felt good. Did you get your 80 extra 80 calorie calories worth? Like, did you feel like this was worth it? No, I, I wanted, I would have ordered that probably if, if, if you hadn't

got it, it was, it, it, it, it looked really good. The other one that I, it was between that and the Turkey in the Turkey avocado one, but what you were saying before, I was like, it feels like such an at home sandwich, just Turkey and avocado that I, that I felt like this other one felt more like something that they actually had to make. So I used to have a chicken curry tartine there for a year. That's what I go to. I was my go to and they don't have anymore.

I just didn't know that. Yeah, that would have been fun. I would have liked some, some curry that would do that. You go to a place and you're used to getting something and you ask about it and they look at you like you're crazy because it was so long ago. They had it and you're like, you know, like, you're like, but it's, but you have it. Did you have it?

Yeah. Yeah. My, uh, my experience is the, is, uh, veggie grill has a bond me salad that they took off of their regular menu and put on their seasonal menu. It was like my go to year round salad. It was really good. It's a vegan bond me salad and they stopped. I mean, I think everything they do there is vegan, but nevertheless, they,

they just, they, they, now it's a thing that you is only available in like spring or winter or something like that. And so it was just like, I was a drift when that one's not available. I don't know what salad to get. He makes you feel crazy because you think that everyone like, you're like, did no one like this? Am I the only person who liked this thing? Right.

Cause it's the thing I liked the most. Yeah. Right. It's like, this is the best thing. Why would you not have this? It's like in a political thriller when the guy goes back to the office that he thought he worked at and it's just all empty. Like there was nothing.

It was like, like I was here. There were people here. I'm sorry, sir. I don't know you, but Jim, my brother, you're living in Michael Douglas is the game where you're going to say, I was going to say, what's a good hashtag for that? For what? Med, the, oh yeah. Like an option that's gone.

Yeah. Menu spend drift. That's good. Hashtag menu spend drift. So, uh, yeah, but you are overall happy with yours. I was, I thought, I thought it was, I thought it was tasty. You know what? For me, those for a while, they, they, the cheese, Gordy, the crunch went away.

Like it was a special item and then also there was a KFC zinger sandwich. I used to like back in the day and the zinger was good. Yeah. And then now they don't make them and they, it brought it back, but they don't make it the same way they used to. Yeah. And like they have them the same way in like Australia or something, right? Is that the theme song from the movie Australia?

That's a Bruce Hornsby's. That's just the way I was confused that song. That's just the way it is. I was thinking the more like that's the way it used to be. Not that's the way it is the opposite. It's a great song though. That's the way it used to be. Hornsby, not a, not a, not a much appreciated artist.

Yeah. I don't know. I don't know much hornsby. He's doing fine. Someone would have to begin to give me up to speed. I'm sure I've heard some hornsby songs, but someone would have to get me up to me on his discography. We got a, I will save her for a double.

That'll be fun. Are you talking about hornsby to me? So we got a few, we got a few pastries to close out our meal. We got ourselves a mixed berry tart. We got ourselves the apple turnover, which was the hunks recommendation. And then we also got ourselves, we got a, we got a Belgian chocolate brownie, a mini one. We just got a small one, which we all took a sliver of.

Right. Pardon. If you please. D'accord. My name is. That sounds pretty good to me. Great. Uh, I thought that the brown a was not, was not that good.

Yeah. It resembled something else. Brown shit. Yeah. It was like a shit ball. The little shit ball. Shit ball. Yeah.

Yeah. The hat was weird. I don't do it. It looks a lot like Mr. Hanky. Uh, the, uh, and then the, the, the berry tart, I thought was good, you know, I thought that was good. The berries were good.

You read me into it. You're, you're, you're a little bit, uh, it was, it just felt a little bit kind of not dead. It just wasn't lively. It felt like it had been sitting there for a little while. That's it. I think you were scared of the custard. I was unclear on what I was getting.

Have you had a Porto's tart like that? Um, oh yeah. I know. Yes. I have had some, some portos. Yeah. That's really, really good. Local, local spot here.

And it's, it's, it's a, uh, yeah, it's, it's night and day. Um, and then the, uh, the apple turnover I thought was, it was, I mean, it was flaky. I liked the texture of it a lot. Maybe a little paltry on the apple filling. Oh, paltry. It didn't have a lot. Didn't have a lot in there. Excuse me, sir.

This is a bit paltry, isn't it? Sir, excuse me, mister. My apple, it's a bit paltry with the apples. Is it Nick is, uh, I love that word. I've heard someone say paltry, like in the casual conversation, maybe ever. Well, Nick doesn't really have casual conversation. That's a great word though. Paltry is such a great word.

It's useful. I call Nick doctor dictionary, uh, because Nick loves to use Nick pulls out some of his some, some rare gems. Nick, sure implies it's like, such like a dramatic to me in my mind. It's such like a, like a, not Shakespearean, but a, like a Dickens word. Right. Like they had a paltry, a poultry for the family. Something Pip would say in great expectations.

Damon, Damon, Matt Damon from Goodwill hunt. If his character in goodwill huddling would not, would, uh, have not been liked this turnover. Nick's right. Jesus fucking Christ. He would not have, he would not have liked the turnover. How do you like them apples? Uh, the apples is not there to like, uh, turn over minus apples equals

the chalkboard. Johnny, you had a little bit of this pay, but you, did you not have the apple filling? I did have the apple because they were cooked. Right. The cook, I can do the cooked apples. But even then I do them in, in, um, uh, sparingly. Yeah.

Right. I thought, I thought, I thought it was good. I, I get what you're saying with that. It's paltry with the, uh, with the apples, but, uh, I mean, I do think that was the winner overall. Okay. Yeah. Of, of the three desserts we had.

Probably. Hot apples with cinnamon. That's just, it's just undeniable. Yeah. It's very comforting. That's true. Um, and then, uh, and, and that was the meal. Unless you guys want to talk about the restroom at all, which you both hit up.

Oh, yeah, I did. What the hell? Yeah. What have we ever, hold on a second. When have we ever talked about the restrooms? The new feature. I, this is a shit episode. We'll talk about the restrooms.

Talking about the restrooms. You know, I think you should honestly, a big part of things. It was a decent restroom experience. It seemed like you had Johnny. Yeah. I had very confident lock, which is a big thing for me, the lock where you don't know it's locked, right? Or the lock where it's like the button lock and you have to test it and you

can't test it because you're on the other side of it. Yeah. That's the kind of thing that no one likes that. Yeah. A confident lock is just the kind that you can see the bolt engaging and the kind that has the little vacant. Yeah. That is, yeah.

I love the acid indicator. Yeah, it's great. Oh my God. I would love that in the home. I would love like, I feel like every, every bathroom should have the vacant or, or, or, or, you know, unoccupied thing. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to fucking have that installed.

I can't believe I haven't done this before. Oh my God. That's happening. It's going to happen this week. A serious bolt with an indicator. A bolt with an indicator. It'd be so great. I'm sure Natalie would appreciate that.

A room she could lock herself into, like a safe room. Yeah. Um, uh, you need this in your home, Nick? I just think it would be like, like you have guests over or something. Like you have a guest over them. That's one of those things where if you're in your own, your own home, you don't think about the lock issue. Right.

I sometimes won't even close the door. Yeah. But the guest, the guest confidence in bathroom use, that's a big deal. It makes it a better experience. Mitch, you, but you like the restroom? I did. It, you know, it was a, it was a unisex bathroom, uh, which I am okay with. I think I, I okay with.

What are you? Oh my God. Oh my God. Are you serious, Mitch? I didn't know this about you. No. Oh my God. He's all right.

Isn't it? No. Oh my God. You go ahead. Say what you want to say. So I'll be counterpoint. I know you have an issue with these people. I know.

I think there should be a genderless bathroom, right? A hundred percent. Wow. And then I think that I just get very embarrassed using the bathroom. I got, wait, but it was a one, one at a time or was it where? It's one at a time. That's one at a time. Got it.

I was at an order. Oh, got it. Okay. But they were, they were both, they were both unisex. Cause that's a different experience having genderless. I will say I used a, I used a, a, an all gender restroom in Seattle and I had to go number two, this is when we're up there. And I found it, I was like, Oh God, this is a nightmare.

Cause it was not on those ones where it was just like a, an individual and it's one at a time. This was one where there were like a lot of people in there. This is not one of the venues we're at. And I found it no more embarrassing than taking a big old shit in a men's room. You know what I mean? It's just like the same experience as like being an airport. Like this is a nightmare.

This is horrifying, but it's no more horrifying. I mean, I've talked about this recently when we said that the, the, there should be a bathroom in everyone's basement where you can go and, and do whatever you have to do. Right. Just like a little secret hideaway. Nothing better than like a basement bathroom. Oh, it's the best.

Outstanding thing. It's like a big problem with California. That's, that's what I do. I do like a, I like multiple stall bathrooms just because I don't like anyone having to wait. Yeah. And then I can get really embarrassed. Yes.

That's more that I feel, if I feel more anonymous, even though there are more people actually in that room and then you feel like you've not rushed, like if you're in that one thing and you sit down, I'll just talk openly about it. Since I was a boy, my biggest fear is to leave a bathroom. It smells like dookie. Yeah. And I'm a big fat guy leaving the bathroom and then there's a nice pretty girl there and I look like a fucking monster.

It's always been my fear in my entire life. I can say that, right? Yeah, you can say that. I think a lot of people, a lot of people feel self-conscious. It's always been my fear. So I, I mean, I went in there and just blew my nose. Yeah. I said, I, that's, I, that's what you want.

I had a weird experience with that bathroom, actually. I was waiting in line. There was a guy who's ahead of me and he had two rolls of toilet paper. And I realized, oh, this is a manager person. And he was waiting to go in the bathroom to put this toilet paper in the bathroom. Right. The bathroom unlocks. A woman comes out and they have some sort of weird exchange.

He goes in there and then she goes back in there. Wow. And I don't know what the hell is going on there. That's great. That's great. Maybe there was no toilet paper. This guy went in to restock it and she saw that happening and she was like, okay, now I can roll, go in.

I don't just have to drip dry. I can get the sink care of, I guess that's what happened. But I didn't hear that exchange. Yeah. I couldn't tell what it was. She seemed a little bit angry and frustrated. Then when she locked the door, it sounded like she did like three locks. Like, oh, man, it was weird.

An angry lock. Yeah. Oh, I just want to say it's cool story. Right. It was really cool. I did. We did like that. I'm still like, I'm still trying to puzzle out what actually happened.

Um, uh, I want to say that, you know, whatever I struggle with isn't as bad as what other people have to struggle with with the rest room. So I, so I don't, it doesn't matter. Come by like me, right? Me, like me, because I do have to struggle more with you because I've got the bathroom a lot because of my bowel issues, right stomach issues, right? I do feel for that. That is, that is, I thank you.

Thank you so much. Thank you. Bathrooms to me are, it's a nightmare scenario. I know I always want to be home. Yes. When people, when people call me a home body, I think part of the reason is I got the bathroom right over here. It's great.

I fucking spend all day in there. If I could, why don't you, I might, I can, I'll pull the TV in there. There's an episode of a home improvement where that happened. They're like locking. That's like a bottle episode. They're in the bathroom the whole time. Well, Tim, the tool man Taylor makes a special men friendly bathroom. It's got like a recliner built into the toilet.

Well, that's screen TV to watch the game. And you can have a phone so you can call up and order pizza. Oh boy. And the tag of the episode was he was sitting there and he ordered a pizza. He's like on the can the whole time on the can. He wasn't, he wasn't shitting, but he was sitting on the can. He's just a nice comfortable chair. And they say, he's like, Oh, where am I?

Well, I'm actually in the bathroom and they hung up on him because it's like, that's gross. That was the tag. That's fun. That, that is gross though. So the room would smell like shit as he sat there and ate pizza. And it's disgusting, disgusting. It is kind of, it is gross, but it's a good TV, right?

Was this during one of the seasons when Mark was a gov? Oh my God. I used to watch that show, but my memory of it is, you know, it's edge of memory kind of shit. Yeah. He runs with a rough crowd later on. What does he do now? You see, he's, he's Christian now, isn't he?

I would assume so. I think he might be actually, you know, I'm pretty sure he is a politically active, uh, conservative Christian guy. Oh yeah. I think he is. Cause I wonder if that's, cause I think of that, I'm wondering if that's the guy or if Zachary Tye Bryan is who you're thinking of, the older kid. I think of the oldest brother.

Yeah. The oldest brother started, uh, the, the wings place in, uh, the, the wing place over here. And no, we did it. He did. Big Wangs. Big Wangs. Good for him.

He did. Yes. He did. So he's a millionaire or a hundred air or something, a thousand air. I hope we have some money from those. Big Wangs is probably the shit, man. I think it closed the Hollywood, the Hollywood closed. Yeah.

Why? I don't know. Wings not big enough. Do you know the weirdest Mark? God. Gee, the, uh, never mind. Say it. That it was a weird story arc for Mark on home improvement when he, uh,

founded the trench cope mafia. That was the youngest one. That was the one who became a goth who was strange. It was weird. He had a vegan food cart too. In LA. Oh, okay. I'm pretty sure the youngest guy from home improvement, his parents,

I think I'm saying this right, but I'm pretty sure it was him. His parents did that classic actor parent thing where they, they swindled him out of all of his money. I think he got really into like the vegan punk scene. It had a vegan food cart. This is probably 11 years ago. Right. That's, I remember someone telling me that.

Cause he had it down by Echo Park Lake. Man. Both these guys began to food, big sitcoms, and they're more successful in the food. And then we are just fucking coasting on being a hunk. Hey man, he has an age today. See a picture of him. They look, it looks the same talks like this, but you still, you've seen a picture of them there.

Yeah. They went like a home improvement reunion. You could see a fairly recent, like it was within the past couple of years. They like a 10 year or 20 year reunion or whatever. And, and he looks, he still looks young. JTT was the Lion King. Was he? He was, he was Simba.

Yeah. God man. So he's doing just fine. He's doing great. Yeah. That 20 year old movie. Oh, that movie's still getting washed. He's getting residuals.

He's left and right. All right. Uh, let's get to our fire, our fire review of Le Pen Quotidian. Le Pen Quotidian. Thank you, Johnny. Le Pen Quotidian. So we'll let you go around, give a brief summation of our thoughts on this chain based on this and any prior visits and then give it a fork rating from zero to five.

Johnny, you're a guest. We'll begin with you. Uh, I had a, a great experience as always. It's a consistent place. I like the, uh, the seating. It's, uh, I just like the consistency of it. It's an unexpected consistency. Right.

It's the kind of restaurant where there's a very, there's very few of these in this category, like an upper scale, yet it's a chain. It's like this, it's a, it's a weird area. It's kind of a weird area that I'm comfortable in, you know, as a, I feel good about that area. So I, what the fuck I'm saying? But basically I think it's pretty great. I like the consistency in the, the presentation of the sort of faux

presentation of European country class. Yes. I know that is, that is, they do it well. They really do. I guess I enjoy that. Uh, and now that I know it's Belgian, I like it even more. Cause I think Belgian, Belgium is highly underrated as a cuisine place. I'm going to give it on with the confident bathroom lock and the server

change over, I'm going to give it four, four, four, very good score from Johnny Pemberton, Mike Mitchell, the spoon man. Um, what can I say? I'm an, I'm an obon pond man. Uh, always have been, always will be such a different thing. We talked about this. We did. It's very, very different.

I do, I do like, I like the pan a lot. I, this, this is tough for me because I'm trying to figure out whether it's a three fork in the mid three forks or if it's for, yeah, and it's hard for me to know if this is a four fork restaurant and I don't, I think I need to try more of it to, to decide what it is, but I like the laid backness of it. I feels like a coffee. It feels like a coffee shop that leans more towards food, uh, but the food is actually is decent and skid.

Hmm. I don't think I'm going to give it four forks, uh, and obon pond, you're right. I, I haven't been to obon pond in a long time. I think that this does like a French, European kind of like coffee sandwich shop better than obon pond does. It feels obon pond almost feels more like a mall place. Right. Pan is a quick service though.

Yeah. It's like you go up there, you get the sandwich you take back to your office. I think until today I thought this was all bad pan. Yeah. I thought that's what the experience. I'm sure there's a lot of people who are confused by that. Yeah. Um, I'm going to go 3.75 forks, three forks, three times, very good score.

Johnny's pissed. No, I just, such like a, why not just go for what's keeping you 3.75. I think that it's very good. I just don't know if it's golden plate club. That's true. It's not, it's not that great. I just said that because no, I think it's a good, I think that is a good, you truly had me.

I really didn't know in my mind if it was a three and a half or four and then I was like, you know what it's right in the middle of that. It's on the borderline and you can see yourself. Maybe pushed up into the, I could, I really could, you know what? If that, if, if I'll say, I'll say what would have gotten to do a four fork restaurant because the ice tea was great. I thought that the pancakes were great. Yeah.

I thought that my, my, uh, my sandwich was really good, uh, my pizza. And then I, and then I thought that the pastries were where they kind of fell down a little bit and I thought, I thought that this place should be, they should have really good pastries. They should be singing, not falling. Yeah. And the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the apple turnover thing was good, but the brownie was just not good.

Yeah. I feel it. Yeah. And so that, that, that was it. That it was, it was close cause I was really enjoying it, but it, but not quite there, a good atmosphere, especially, especially the fact that it wasn't that cry and me, we went a little later, but it's like big and open and I could see myself being comfortable in there.

So a lot of space in this individual location. I also, I will say that the time we went in the late afternoon, we went for a late lunch and it seemed like there were a lot of seniors there who were like hanging out there and it seems like, Oh, this is nice that this is kind of like a, a, you know, a, a senior destination. Yeah. It's like a little community center. They all had class of two, a 2020 sweatshirts on.

So the, uh, oh, I just got that college seniors. Yeah. What the hell do you think I was talking about? I was like, I was like, is that a joke on? I got it. It took me a second. Oh yeah. That's pretty good.

It took me a second. Um, yeah, you laughed too much at it. That's why I knew something was up. No, I enjoyed it, but I didn't under, I didn't process it. I like, I was like, Oh, I liked that. And then I was like, wait, I don't, I don't think I got it. And then when I got it, I was like, Oh, okay. Jesus.

I think I actually liked it less. Um, the, uh, the Dutch pancakes were good. The iced lemonade combo was, was, was excellent. Here's what I'll say about Le Pan Quotidien. You're spending a little bit of money there. Yeah. And I got myself this big, this baker's breakfast. Sacre bleu.

The, was sacre bleu indeed, 1449. That was the, that was the price. And to add that smoked salmon protein, an additional 449. Wow. So that was a $20. Yeah. It's based, essentially a $20, uh, breakfast. Nick, that's too much for what you had.

It's a lot of money for what I got. Trace share. And so I thought it was good. I thought, I agree. The pastries are disappointing. You know, I, I like corner bakery. I like what they do with their pastries. I feel like that place doesn't let me down.

Um, I think this was, this is, however, it's very good quality food. I didn't feel like I was getting ripped off, but I did feel like was spending a lot of money for me. This is above average and it's good in its category. And I think it, it fits into, into a nice little, uh, niche. And for that reason, I'm going to say this one gets three forks, two times 3.5 forks is my score.

And hey, we may not be, it may not be in the golden plate club, but the three of us are in the handheld or the, I'm sorry, we're ballpark buds in this one because this is the first time in a long time that we've actually had the, what was it called? The ladder? What the hell is the, we got, we have a reverse ladder. Yeah.

We got a reverse ladder on everyone's going down the wrong. The price is definitely a thing I did not consider. Yeah. It's, it's worth noting. I feel like if you're a budget conscious, a listener of the Doughboys podcast, uh, and, uh, but a good restaurant, it's good.

It's good. That's, that's why I'm not talking it too much, but I think it's a thing that has to be a nice light. I think you can go in there and have a nice light meal and you absolutely can still feel pretty satisfied. Right. If you got something else, if you got something a little less fancy Schmanz, you, you don't have to spend as much money.

Uh, okay. Well, that was our review of LaPan Quotidian. It's time for a segment. Uh, we've got a beverage. We're going to decide if we should pour it down your throat. It's another edition of drank or stank and Mitch, yeah, we've got two elements here. We do.

One of those are our producer. You song is about what's you song doing? He's, he's, he's, he's typing something. Do you fall asleep? No, no, he didn't fall asleep. So he's, he's, he's, he's writing a resume to get a new job. You, you song, we, can you help us? We need a, we need, we need a to the two drinks from the fridge.

So you song is getting ourselves, getting us a, so we have a soft drink and we also got ourselves a little hard drink. We do. So I was in Mexico city and, uh, and, uh, I think something fell you song. Did you get some regular cups too? That would be helpful. He's getting us there.

Some of that drops. Those are filthy. Those little cups gross. Oh God. They're dirty. What's in there? Thank you. Oh boy.

Oh boy. Oh, I was using the, I was collecting dirt in those little cups for a while. All right. Here's, here's a regular copy. I should pass that over to you song. If you go all the way down to where the water dispenser is, there's shot glasses.

Thank you. All right. We got clean ones. Okay. It's all better ones. Thank you. I'm a you song. Ma you song, you song, make some oven fries you song.

Can you, can you get scissors too? Yeah. They're in the, the, the fork in the utensils draw. There we go. We need scissors for open your duty free bag. Yeah. Open this duty free bag. That's a dumb shit, man.

That shit's so stupid. Duty free. Oh, you can't get into it. Yeah, who is, who's kind of, what's the problem? I don't know. I've never, I've never dealt with this before. I've never gone duty free. That's my new podcast.

Who's doing it? What's the problem? I mean, come on. Who's trying to get this past you? Right. Do you really got a problem with this? Come on. So I've, that's a beautiful bottle, a beautiful box, by the way.

Yeah. It's a very, I've, I've, I've actually had this before. I've gotten this before. I realized as soon as I bought it, it's fucking wood. It's a wood box. And it's, so it's, it's Jose Cuero. It's, it's the, it's the Della Familia, the res, the reserve, it's the family reserve.

You know what that's made of, right? This box? It's a Gave. It's what the, and then look at this. It's all wrapped up in here. Wow. Look at that. It's like Christmas.

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a fancy tequila, Nick. Now Jose Cuero, we widely available here in the States, but this is a varietal that you can only get south of the border. That's, that's what we were told. Okay. That's of course what they told you. Told you about the lucheroir masks too. Every day only available here, sir.

Unless you have a Amazon account. We're going to have some of that. I'm pretty sure that you can, I'm pretty sure that you can. Oh, this is a, and the, and the, uh, what is that? What is it? A nail is like the, the highest level of tequila. It's the most aged. Oh, okay.

Yeah. You got that one. You got the, uh, and you got the, another type. And I don't, I forget what the default one is called. Silver, just a silver or a Blanco. I think sometimes you, uh, so I, we've got the Sprite lemonade. Uh, this is one that is made with a whopping 1% real juice.

So we're going to have a lit, just a little kiss of juice here. Um, and by the way, it's, by the way, it's the Sprite limonade, limonade. I'm sorry about that. It's so fucking funny. The idea like, uh, 1% like we, hey, we're trying. What, what, what, if you give me a couple of shock glasses, I'll, I mean, you're going to, you're going to have some

tequila. Correct. So this is, uh, I mean, you don't have to. You don't feel like you have this. I won't say no to tequila. Did you think about what a great combination this would be though? Am I, I, I think that worked out by, by, by random chance. I think I'm going to have them independently.

I will also say, speaking of the, the 1% juice, the other figure that jumps out on this bottle, 115% of your daily allocation of sugar, 57 grams of sugar in one of these bottles. So that's a, that's a very thing though, isn't it? Yeah. It's loaded up. Well, that's, they used to, um, the sugar lobby used to prevent the, uh, whoever does the labels from assigning a daily

value of sugar. That's really new, right? Oh, interesting. I did not know that was a big problem with, this is the most political dumb thing ever, but they would, this is a new additive to labels because the sugar lobby prevented, they said, if you assign a daily amount of sugar and all these things that we drink and eat would have a huge amount more than we're supposed to have.

Right. Yeah. So if you're, if you're having, if you're having more than one of these, I mean, if you're having one of these a day, you're over the top. And if you're having two of these, and some people do, some people will have multiple sodas in the course of a day. That's new, man.

That's bad. Yeah. Cause it used to just say, you're right. It used to just say the carbs and then it would break down the grams of sugar, but it would not say your daily allocation, uh, it, in, in terms of percentages, it's horrifying. There's a little booklet in here too that tells a story about, there's too much.

It is, it's in English. Oh, that's fun. And there's a, you know, and in both, actually it's in both. It tells the story of this tequila. It tells the story of this tequila. We're not going to read that. Would you read it in like a really, um, uh, like a, you know, like a very offensively, uh, Mexican, American accent.

Would you please do that? Please do that. I think just me even trying to say, Jose Cuervo is bad enough. Would you talk about your family and their lands and traditions that you experience as a young boy? Would you talk a bit about that? Your experience as a, as a young boy knock on how your papa would teach you the way Santa's only.

Everything getting canceled this Christmas. I'm not logger. Um, this limonade is, you, you, you did the lemonade first. I might, was it not supposed to do that? That's okay. I'm having some sips of it. I mean, I'm just having a little bit of a taste. Here we go.

I feel it'd be different sensation as a, as a chaser. Is this supposed to be like a squirt contender? It, it, it does see, you know what it is squirt adjacent. It's not quite, it is squirt adjacent. It's not grape fruity as squirt is, but it is, uh, you know, it, it wouldn't be out of, out of places, a substitute for a Paloma, we're talking tequila. Here's my question with this. Yeah.

If I get this, if I get this for your papa, would he enjoy if I got this from, if I was blindfolded and me and my papa or try my, uh, my mama, uh, we're, we're, we're trying this. I don't know if I would know it was different from Sprite. It is pretty, pretty adjacent. I think this is not taste like Sprite to me. Oh, really? Yeah.

It tastes like that powdered, remember that powdered like country time lemonade your grandmother would make. It tastes kind of like that mixed with Sprite. Yeah. Like carbonated version of that. You're right. Cause Sprite to me is not lemon. It's more just like sweet or this tastes like, oh, this is a lemon taste.

Yeah. But I do see what Mitch is saying of like, it's, it's, it's like I could see myself being tricked. Like if someone, I might be like the, the Sprite tastes a little off, but I wouldn't maybe know that it's not Sprite. I actually think it's not bad. It's not bad. Yeah.

It's refreshing. I mean, I guess we have to say if it's drunk or staying as a crisp finish. No. Um, well, let's, let's, let's shoot this, uh, this tequila or sip. It's a, it's a very much a sipping tequila. There's a sipping tequila. Okay. I'm going to take a little sip.

Here we go. I've never sipped tequila before. I know. That's nice. It kind of scares me. I know. I've definitely never done this in the daytime. It's, it's, it's, it's a strong one too.

Right. I'm your safe. Ah, dogs. Ah, anytime I have tequila, I'm instantly transported to my kitchen. And my college apartment was just trying to. It's such a strong, it's such a, it's a, I mean, it is, it's meant for sipping on ice, I think it's good. I like it.

Okay. And ice, I can kind of see it. That makes more sense. But like, I can't settle. I think I can sip tequila. I can take this room to have neat. I like it. What's the proof on that?

It's gotta be a hundred proof, I bet. Ooh, I'm gonna, I wonder if that's, I think this might be one 40. I don't know what's not. No, 100% 40% alcohol, 80 proof. Oh, 80 proof. Okay. I went high. I went high.

It's just so strong. And then each of them have this little, uh, unless that's just fake. That looks like it's handwritten. It looks like it's handwritten. A little certificate of authenticity. I will say that this is, this is one of those things where it's like kind of hitting me at a time of day, I'm not normally drinking. And so I immediately am feeling a little bit of like, Oh, I'm, I'm feeling that

boozy sensation right off the bat. Uh-oh. Are you going to get violent with us soon or no? Yeah. I'm going to start some fights. I'm going to have to say what I really think once an hour for the next three hours. Otherwise we're going to completely lose it. Johnny is going to mix the lemonade and just did it.

Wow. I mean, that's a good move. That's a good move. I think we have, oh man, that is really good. Actually, that's quite good. Okay. Here we go. I'm doing the same ice on it and maybe a little bit of salt.

You would be, um, that's the contender right there for a really cheap margarita. This is probably a, a, a tequila that is, you're not supposed to mix cause it's of such high quality, but I will say in this combination, it absolutely works. And I think you could get away with this, this limonade as a mixer for it's very much, I mean, like this is, I do think it has a nice taste, but it's like fucking gasoline in many ways. I mean, it's, it's, it's, it's much smoother. Obviously are you a tequila person in general, I love tequila.

Oh, okay. I love it. I mean, like a silver though, to me is so much. I prefer a silver always. I used to be a big fan of the, uh, Avion silver. I don't know why I was drinking tequila if I could hear, but I don't drink it anymore. I will, this is, this does taste good together. It's good.

It's a good, it's a good concoction. I, I like tequila. I'm going to say both of these are drinks. I'm going to go drink for both of these are, these are both drinks. And I will say on a drink for the mix as well, the mix is absolutely a drink. I, I, I do think this is one suitable for sipping. I do like feel like this is a thing if I didn't want a margarita. I could, I could have this.

It is potent, but, um, but it's, it's, it's not like, it doesn't have a like a big, big bite to it. It's just like, I got a high potency to it. Uh, it still does. It's still a smooth sipping. Extra Neho. Nick is now drinking out of the bottle, by the way. Johnny, what do you think?

Drink or steak on these? I think drink. I think it's good. I mean, uh, this is the first time I've had Sprite or maybe 11 years. Wow. So maybe longer. Sprite, the idea of drinking a Sprite is laughable to me. Yeah.

Like, oh, I have a Sprite. This, this is a, this is a terrible. I drink Sprite. I mean, I'm trying to be over so that I'm trying not to drink it ever besides the show, but, um, I will, usually we get Sprite. If I went to like Del Taco or something, I didn't want to have a caffeine drink. Yeah. Yeah.

Hasn't been healthy. Instead of water, I would get a late night Sprite. I know that it's very unhealthy, but that's what I would, that's what I would do. No, that like my after four PM soft drink, I'll do like a Sprite, something non non-caffeinated too bad. There's not like a ready, like a, an available diet Sprite. I mean, I know that that's still bad for people, but like, uh,

they have Sprite zero, don't they? They have Sprite zero and people do like it, but it's not like a thing that is usually available at like a fast food restaurant. Not common at the fountain. Yeah. I'm not, don't do the LaCroix thing. I don't, I don't love the Croix. I like these spin drifts that we, we have here.

That has just like a little bit of juice to it. Right. Those are, those are good. Those are good. Those are more than 1% juice than the, what's in the Sprite. This is, this has 6% juice. Wow. And it's nine calories and two, uh, one, one gram of sugar.

Beating the pants off of Sprite. I prefer that to LaCroix any day. Yeah. I'm a LaCroix hater now. Wow. I don't, I, I've turned on LaCroix. I, LaCroix makes me more dry. It's like, get out of here.

Yeah. Yeah, I got you. I grew up with that crap cause it's from Minnesota. Really? Yeah. LaCroix is from LaCroix. I guess it's from Wisconsin, but it's on the river LaCrosse, Wisconsin. It's where it's from.

I had no idea. I thought this was a thing that would like came out in the last five years. I had no idea it was a thing that's been around for a while. They just figured out like, oh, we can, we can market it differently. And I don't know why. I thought it was fucking French. I thought it was, I really. It was from fucking Wisconsin.

Wow. That's crazy. Stolen baller. I think that, I think it's a, I like an unflavored. I think that will, that's, that's my LaCroix of choice. Am I a drinker steak on these? Oh, both drinks. Wow.

And, and so we're, we're in agreement. It really tastes, you, you nailed it, Johnny. This, when you mix them together, it really tastes like a margarita. It does so much like a margarita. I thought that when I tried the tequila that it would make a good margarita, that was my first. Oh yeah. Oh, I think, I think if you were making up, like you really making up

marks, it would be, it would be great. If you're going top, top shelf. Yeah. For sure. Well, that was drinker stank. Just like, and thanks for bringing that back, Mitch. That was nice of you to share a little, a little memento from your big Hollywood movie, very exciting.

Just like a restaurant value feedback. Let's up with the feed bag. Today's email comes to us from John Sekolis. John writes, so ways back I got fired from Target and I felt super angsty afterward on the advice of a friend that a new law was passed. I carried 25 boneless wings from B dubs, Buffalo Wild Wings, into an AMC theater with no questions asked from staff to watch Men in Black three. So we're dating this a little bit.

I don't think the law thing allowing outside food into the theater was true, but I'm curious about the weirdest thing you ever snuck or took into a movie theater. Boy, both Target and Men in Black came up in this episode and they're here in this email. That's funny. How about that? That's crazy.

That is a little crazy. Life's a Herald, man. Life is a Herald. I got a good story. Ooh, I want to hear. When I was in high school in Minnesota, we, uh, maybe it was rad for high school. Either way, it was around that time.

It was probably 18 or 19. We snuck a, uh, you know what, uh, what's it called a camel back? You know, the camel. Yes. I got a camel back, which is the most pouches you wear as a backpack for water. Right. I filled it with, um, with white wine. Wow.

And, uh, which is probably like two or three bottles of white wine. Yes. Put it under a heavy winter jacket and we took it to go see, I think Fast and the Furious or some other movie like that. Maybe it was, uh, maybe it was like, uh, what's that one? Mission Impossible or something like that. Very cool. Drank the whole thing with my friends.

It became very warm. This hot Francia inside the, yeah, and I just got, got wasted off this wine, drinking through a fucking camel back. The camel back never, ever did not smell like wine after that day. It was permanent. No, you definitely ruined that camel back. My sister and I used to do that when we went skiing. We put wine, your camel back.

Yeah. Wow. God, where was this? New Hampshire. Put wine in the camel back. Dear God. What kind of, why would you put it in there? Whatever we could get our hands on really, but it was usually

Francia. It's a ballsy movie. You guys doing up there in New Hampshire reaction drinking snow that people just want to drink box wine, cold weather, cold weather, camel backs and cheap wine. Um, it's anything coming to mind and anything ever snuck into a movie theater. I have also only snuck booze in the movie here.

I think I've told it on this, uh, podcast before that, uh, me and frail bot, uh, what was it? Was it how high or was it, uh, with the methaman red man movie, the methaman red man movie, very funny. We went and saw how high and everyone else, all of our other friends went and saw Royal Titan bombs. Oh, you chose correctly or either that or it was Jason X. Jason in space.

That's a good one. And, uh, either way, you chose correctly frail bot went and said, uh, he forgot his cell phone and, uh, went to the car, which first of all, you shouldn't need your cell phone in the movie. Right. And then went to the car and, uh, came back with a 30 pack under his coat. No way. Yeah.

That's fucking cool. Just egregious. Like, come on, frail bot and then, uh, I remember me and Joe Tormey snuck a bottle of booze into Lake Placid. And then, uh, the, the bottle of booze fell and rolled down the aisle. Oh boy. I had to have the ones too. It's the loudest sound there is.

It bottles falling in a theater. It's very funny. I mean, it is. Yeah. And if Lake Placid movie, no one, no one, no one really cared. Um, I'm too afraid of breaking the rules to do anything like this, but I did. I have taken, I would have liked it. That's just where you stopped end of episode.

I have though, I have done the move where if you're at a theater that has the, the refills on popcorn, this was back in the day when I was just like, I was less of a, I less of a version of popcorn and I was more just like hungry. I was just like, I'm a hungry kid. You can take an old like popcorn tub off the floor and then go in. You're fucking disgusting. And then you go up there and you say, like, Hey, can I get a refill of my popcorn and then they'll fill it up and then you

can walk out of the movie theater with it. That's a free, a free large road popcorn. Yeah. Take a, put some popcorn to go to go for you snuck something out of the, yeah, that's, that's, that's how I live. That's what the fuck is wrong with you. Hey, you know, that was a look. I was not someone who had, I, I did get a little drunk before seeing scream two, but I'm not someone who I ever sneak a boo.

Well, you were, you know, actually how old were you 27? I was, I was, I was, I was a, I was a freshman when scream two came out. I won tickets on WBCN. Have you ever told you that my store, I used to call into radios nations? Really? They call me the mayor, Mike, the mayor of Quincy. They used to call me on WZLX. I was like 16 years old. I would be drunk and I would call into like a drunk like, like on beer or whatever. And I'd be like, can I like you, you play like

blinded by the light by Manford man or something like I did. I, and I used to have like tapes of a ZLX. Oh, not just to like win stuff. You used to call into requests. I used to call into request stuff. And then with WBCN, I won tickets to scream to the premiere of scream to. That's very cool. What a fucking weird actual premiere. Like they premiered them. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, like that. No, it was like, no, I'm sorry. It was like just opening it was a boss, the premier. No, no, no, more of this as you talk. Yeah. Everyone else is okay.

Yeah, I really do. Hey, I'm like, am I a character in the Toy Story franchise? Because I'm a little buzz. Oh my God. What? Like he's small because he's not here. It's buzzed is the word.
