Mac and cheese. Wags me too, a big scoop of mac and cheese and I'm a little boy again, licking a lolly. Well, hopefully not why you're eating the mac and cheese? Hey, why not double up?

So we're loving Goodalls. If you haven't heard of Goodalls, this is like the Mac and Cheese. cheese we know and love, but packed with protein and nutrients. And what's so amazing is they just launched single-serve cups that are so convenient and easy to take on the go. Mitch, I like Goodalls quite a bit. I was having Goodalls before they were a sponsor, and so I was so excited that they've come on board.

They're really yummy. They're really nutritious, but they don't taste like they're, you know, something that's putting one over on you as some of these health foods do. You don't going to be a gym bro to appreciate Goodalls, Wig. That's right. Wise, Goodalls is so creamy and cheesy, I didn't know a nutrient-dense mac and cheese could be this good. The cups launched in two amazing flavors, Chetty Mac and Shella Good, and they taste just as good as the boxed version without the dishes. Every serving a Goodall's mac and cheese has 14 grams of protein, seven grams of fiber with prebiotics, and 21 vitamins and minerals from real plant sources.

It's a low-glycemic index food, which means it provides steady energy instead of carb crash. And on top of that, it's kosher and clean label purity award certified. There's something for everyone with their amazing variety of flavors plus vegan and gluten-free options. Trust us, you need some Goodalls Mac and Cheese in your life. Pick up Goodalls on your next shopping trip. It's available nationwide at Target and Walmart, plus many other major grocery stores and retailers. And don't forget, the new single-serve cups. Wow.

Get them. In 1949, Pinto Colvig, the original voice of Disney's Pluto and Popeye's Pluto, no relation. First appeared on television as yet another character whose popularity would outstrip his own, Bozo the Clown. Bozo would come to dominate children's television for the next two decades and persist through the turn of the century, though not only portrayed by Colvig as the clown persona was licensed to other performers who would serve as local bozos on different regional television affiliates. One of those bozo clones was Willard Scott, a happy-go-lucky light entertainer who'd later

gain national fame as the gregarious meteorologist of NBC's Today Show, the Al Roker of his day. In 1963, prior to his weatherman stint, Scott was hired to play a bozo derivative clown in a fast-food television commercial, and so he created his own simulacrum named Ronald. In Scott's telling, quote, there was something about the combination of hamburgers and bozo that was irresistible to kids end quote and like bozo ronald would outgrow its creator and first portrayer becoming central to the fast food brand's marketing toward children over the decades today the word bozo is more often employed as slang

meaning dumbass or dipshit and bozo himself is less known than his imitators and parodies like ronald or the simpsons crusty the clown though also these days ronald once inseparable from Happy Meals and Play Places has been hidden by his corporate master due to negative associations with a clown scare of 2016 and the child obesity crisis. Much like the company's line of ice cream, shakes and McFlurries, the character introduced as Ronald the Hamburger Happy Clown is on ice. This week on Doe Boys, we return to McDonald's for ice cream. Go! It's the Do-N-O-D-D-O-Boys. Come to Do-N-O-Boys.

Welcome to Do-Boys, the podcast about chain restaurants. I'm Tiger Weiger along with my co-host. Mr. Crim, the spoon man, Mike Mitchell. Oh, like Mr. Grimm. That's right. In honor of Twisted Metal Season 2, I thought I'd try coming up with a roast inspired by a character from the series. This one combines beloved Grim Reaper Cyclist Mr. Grimm with Mitch's preferred name for his shower emissions. I was a big fan of the games growing up And they did a great job with season one

Looking forward to the tournament And more Mitch in season two Hashtag Spoon Nation Scott Aspen Rosed BirdFuck.com CRIM stands for come We were trying not to say the word come For one time I'm explaining to our guest

Dude you so succeeded Good one dude Oh man Remember how Wager was doing it And then yeah So good We did for I think it was last year

Was the year we weren't going to say come Maybe yeah Yeah and we were I think we were very successful I don't think we said come at all during the show. Yeah, I think we were free and clear for a whole year there.

Also, I had a no nut 2024. I didn't know all of last year. Thank you. What? What? Look, my whole body was blue if you catch my drift. More than just the blue balls.

I looked like a freaking smurf. New Year's Eve. New Year's, 25. What are you doing, dude? Two, one. Instantly nutting. years worth backlog. Just a big smile on my face.

Yeah, dude. You need your pipes clean, brother. What are you doing? It's bad for your health. I couldn't even look at Joe when I said it looked like a freaking smurf. This is how you chose to start the podcast. It is true. Well, I will say this. Welcome to Twisted Monthill, the final episode. This is the final episode of Twisted Monthul. That's right. This is the finale of our month-long celebration of Season 2 of Twisted Metal, which is streaming now on Peacock.

We got some Ben Crims as well, referencing fantastic. four. Oh, that's good. Yeah, Ben Crimm. That's funny. That's really good. That's really good. That's really good. This episode is coming out a month later, but as of this recording, you and her guest just got back from Comic-Con. That's right. Speaking of no nutting, uh, shared a hotel room with my mom and sister down there. Great. So there was a time where I was like, I left something in the hotel room. I went back there and, and, dude, I've lost a thousand swimmers just sitting here right now. Let me tell you, there were no swimmers at DOA with this load.

Just a bunch of ghosts. Comes out like air. Flatline sperm. Guys, underwear is haunted. My mama, yeah, it was a little, it was a tricky. I've been on, I took, I've taken Lexapro for my brain fog. So a lot of people also were like, Mitch is on, whatever. There was a thing that was a very nice chain and then there was like one or two mean comments about it.

but they think that some of long COVID, which, uh, no, I did way more chains than that that were mean. I don't know about one or two. They were mostly you saying that long COVID didn't exist. But, uh, they say that long COVID might be a serotonin issue. So I want to make that clear that that's how I also started taking Lexapro. Right. But I know, do you clean your pipes out? Maybe that serotonin will kick up a little bit. That is, that is saying. Let me tell you, there's been, there's been an issue where I haven't been. It's actually, I'm feeling great. I have no interest in any of that stuff anymore. I think I might be done.

Okay, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Believe you. No, thank you. Hey, dude, like in a couple weeks when the intervention happens, just give me a call. I know you got this, dude. You see the signs, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Is this an innovation? No, no, you're fine right now. You're doing great. No, but when it is. I'm trying to see if the intervention you guys are going to tell me I have to jack off. Is that what it's going to be? I mean, we're not going to tell you anything, but, like, I think your body's telling you plenty right now.

might be in your best interest to do that. You know, with the CPAP, I'm getting more dreams. So there's some interesting stuff going on. But I'm back from Comic-Con. What does that mean? Whoa. Let's unpacked that little gem of, more wet dreams or what? Some interesting dreams.

Oh, some interesting dreams. Okay, well, I mean, there's interesting dreams and then there's dreams that are going to help the situation. Are they interesting or are they erotic? You know, a little from column A, a little from column B. All right. There's a lot going on in these dreams. She's hot, but she's got four different faces.

on various parts of her body i mean that they're all hot too you know what that that that is a sort of thing that that i that is the interest there is i've had very interesting dreams like not like that specifically but they've been yeah i think it might have been comic on i think i was seeing a lot of cosplay and i think that maybe that was you every time i come here i just respect you a little bit more and more are you talking to me or why right no we're over here we're good star rose texted and he said uh because i said i they were asking how my my my my my situation was, and I said that I had to quickly go back. What are you

guys laughing at over there? Oh, dude, somebody dropped the name here. Uh, instance. I can pick that up for somebody trips over it. It's very dangerous. Starbrose said that I find it to be off because my mom and sister were saying with me in the pheromones. I was, I was,

I was, it was a fair moan. That's a good point. Yeah, yeah. That is, and I want to say that is not what it was. No, it could have, it could have been. Um, I, um, I I had a great time at Comic-Con with our guest, Wags, to my left. We had a blast. They show the first two episodes of Twisted Metal, which all of it is now streaming on Peacock.

Best, Kate. Wow. Thanks, Kate. As a COVID cautious person, I appreciate hearing you talk about your long COVID journey, Mitch. All the best. Hey, that's pretty nice. Our guest has heard too much about my long COVID journey. I complained about it for most of this last year.

Yes. Wise, I was going to ask you what you thought of D.K. Bonanza. I'm loving Donkey Kong Bonanza I'm not sure if you all have a Switch 2 yet I have not got my Switch 2 yet I was laid in the cube but it is on in route It's the are you still in the I feel like you're playing look

Nick and I still mess around with children's games Quite a bit but do you still do the mainline Nintendo games occasionally? Oh I mean Mainline Nintendo games usually masterpieces so I mean Yeah it's true skip them like I agree Yeah good books I mean I wouldn't watch it I wouldn't Not watch a studio Ghibli film because it was animated Right well now you're talking there you're

There you're putting in the wire yeah I loved uh the last studio ghibli movie uh ghibli jibble i figured how to say it yeah i can tell you i just said it oh what was the last movie called the uh boy in the heron yes i love boy in the heron i feel like people were just kind of okay on it well whatever great picture no that was the that was the we had you know what one of i feel like we had like the the the old masters all had a masterpiece that year boy in the heron um avatar way of water was also that year and then wasn't also was it or my or i mean no the avatar way of water the previous year what's a movie i'm thinking of Oh, I'm thinking of Scorsese's

Oh, right. Killers of the Far Moon. Was that all last year? I think so. My brain is mush. Yeah. Because I thought last year was a bad movie year. Maybe that was 2023.

No, you just saw a lot of bad movies last year. I mean, that is also. You know what? I think you are wrong. I'm going to look it up. But get into your bullshit that you do. Joe, you also were at Comic Con. What was your experience like?

It was a blast. It was a lot of fun. Obviously, fans were very receptive. to seeing all of our new mayhem this season. So, yeah, it's cool. It's cool to go there with something that I think people are genuinely anticipating and wanting to see.

And it was a great experience. You know, what can I say? You have fun. Meet a lot of people. People give you free shirts and stuff. I mean, you know, the quintessential comic con experience. It was a good time. And Joe, you took out before this,

but when we screen the two episodes, it was great to see at the end of the second episode, there was Richard DeClerc, that's right he made an appearance at the end of episode two then it was like a marvel t it was a post credit marvels thing in the in the theater we were and everyone went nuts that grim had arrived it was it was fun to see people who really loved twisted metal going nuts for that that's awesome yeah yeah it was great it was a fun a very fun very fun and and and to be honest like we are fortunate i think that most of our cast like genuinely like each other and like to hang out with each other right right

it was really cool for us just to kind of reunite we have a lot of us haven't seen each other for months now so I was up to a year and it's just it's cool to like hang out see the cast again get back together shoot the bull go drinking it on other people's expense and yeah it was a blast yeah it's fun yeah because these things take forever because like you know I remember we were up there

for Mitch we did some doughboys episodes we did one with you about Boston pizza for Toronto that was October of last year it's July of this year and the show is finally July into August of this year and the show is finally people can see it was a full year ago that's fucked up crazy yeah it's When did you all start shooting season two?

Oh, July, July? It was July. Yeah, so a full year. Wow. We had a funny waiter when we were at dinner. Joey? Oh, yeah. Man.

Wait in San Diego? Oh, yeah. I like Joey. First off, Joey's all right with me because Joey, Joey's got ambitions in this world. He had confidence. And you're going to learn all about them over the course of the dinner. Joey's got career aspirations. And you know what?

Joey's got several different careers. This waiter thing? It's only temporary. Joey's going to tell you what else he does. Hey, do you want to look like Joey? Joey personal train. It can make you look just like. This old stuff that Joey said during the dinner,

which is like the back, the roped off back route. We like, we had like a reserved room for dinner. Yeah. Well, you guys doing a little bit of an action show there. Joey likes action shows. And Twisting Metal came out when he was six years old. You're all a lot older than Joey, which he also pointed out as well. Which I'll think half our cast is like,

what the fuck is he is he a third person guy I mean I wouldn't be surprised he should have been wow yeah yeah he was a personal trainer

uh likes action I assume wants to get into Hollywood or the industry in some sort of capacity that's why I'm reading between the lines here I think so yeah I think the best place to start in Hollywood is about 300 miles away down south in San Diego

hopefully it'll work his way to a better spot geographically he was he was he was he was a lot but we had a great dinner and uh and also awesome waiter he was to give him credit all networking aside yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i shouldn't say he was a lot he was a lot but he was he did a good job a lot doesn't necessarily mean it's not that much of a judgment he's not and i appreciate a guy who's making his pitch like yeah yeah yeah yeah it wasn't too uptrusive but it was kind of funny because it's just very obvious yes and i think that i is he was a very confident guy and a man who's not a

confident i think that i immediately am you know i i i don't like that we must we must defeat this man who's trying to get ahead yes i get it yeah you're not better than me yeah we talked about this yeah not say any of that i love joey a great guy but we had we had a we had a blast in general the panel went great i was uh joe gave me a shout out on the panel which my mom loved so thank you joe um in in our in our text thread uh with uh me and susser uh mich this is the like being marks like a bitch and I are like you can't not talk like a wrestler sometimes yeah absolutely which was just like uh jo put me over at the panel dude wrestling vernacular is is so it fits so perfect it describes so many situations

i just quickly apologize to you for saying that you put me over big new draw in town it's probably it's probably annoying when you see like guys like susser and wager and i being like i got put over by joe like We can't fucking lift someone over our heads. It really doesn't bother me. Okay, all I felt pathetic saying it. No, because I know that's how you feel saying it, so it's kind of...

There's other people who do not feel that way. There were a couple... It was very funny that after the screening when you weren't there, I did run into a couple Comic-Con guys who were like, you look just like us, so you'd have no idea you were like in the show. I was like, all right. Thanks, man. Makes a lot.

Makes you feel good. And I was like, yeah, and also I don't think either, you know, I don't think you will. I will, I will, this happens on occasion, but there's nothing more, there's no bigger backhanded compliment than somebody walking up and going, you know, when I look at you, I just realize that even a slovenly, no good, rotten, unathletic, horrible, very socially awkward, nasty, funky smelling, sour shirt having piece of shit like me, is capable of doing cool things. And then you're stuck, they're like, awesome. Yeah. Or like, people say we could be twids. Yeah, awesome. This is great.

Yeah, no, we could be. And honestly, they're probably right. I'm not saying they're wrong. And I'm glad to be an inspiration to these stinky guys. This is the doughboy specific non-plement we get, which is that I get like a ghoul and an ogre watching up to the two of us and being like, I'm the Mitch and I'm the wiger. You are?

Okay. I guess I want to ask about Toronto because you were up there for such a while and we dug into your food experiences a little bit with Boston Pizza. First off, did you have any revisits with Boston Pizza? Oh, no.

Not a single one, yeah, that was, we were good. One and done. One and done. What pizza did you get up there, though? I ended at the end of the, I actually got Prince Street. It was excellent. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was really, really good.

Did you north of Brooklyn at all or no? No, but I heard that was the other spot. It was great. North of Brooklyn is great. They have decently good pizza in Toronto, which I was kind of shocked by. Yeah. Wasn't too bad. Yeah.

Pretty good pizza. No, there was a place you were talking about. Mitch, I want to say it was up in north of the city where you were filmed in the Hamilton. Hamilton. The hammer. There was like, there was some great. We got, Joe and I.

The pizza spot you went to. The pizza spot that we got it and we had it like the cast had it one day. It was great. It was fantastic. And the hammer. and there's like two or three famous pizza places in Hamilton Ontario. Wow. Which we

which is Well we we were shooting in Hamilton We had we had a kind of a considerable breakster Doing an effects reset Yeah yeah yeah and you had called out You got our boy Danny on the line He went out to his pizza place and he got like 20 pies For the casting crew

Yes thank you Danny Yeah yeah he's on Mitch is dime He's a man And yeah we had a great little pizza party it was awesome and the pizza was fantastic several different flavors varieties and the crust was really really good and in a town I gotta say it's odd

that they have like three really good right I mean Hamilton Ontario is it's the home of no say what it is it's a hard it's a blue collar town and I'm a blue collar man and there's a lot of hard and I fight for the blue collar man yeah from

Quincy Mass I'm a man of the people Look Me getting out of podcasting Is no different from a man Getting out of a steel mill At the end of the day Putting a dirty towel over my shoulder

And going home What is the towel dirty? We sweat a lot in here It's mostly marinara But Hamilton is a It's an interesting town It's not It's like I think there's a lot of great things in Hamilton

The first Tim Hortons is there. There's a, uh, uh, uh, what's the CFL football team that's in Hamilton. Of course. Is the Hamilton like wildcats or something? You'd like it. But, uh, but, uh, you know, like we shot at an abandoned school up there. Right. It was, it's like there's like, there's like, it feels like some of it. So the schools are abandoned up there, huh? They, huh? Crazy. Anyways, continue more about Hamilton. It feels like half of Hamilton could be a ghost town and then half of it seems very nice. It seems like there's a lot of, actually, I will say that. That's actually pretty, that's a, that's more accurate description.

Yes, but I mean, we're just saying, interesting means, this is tough for you. I know it is. Bad! No, it seems, it seems like, you know, half of the town seems like kind of, it seems a little abandoned. It's had, it's had better times. It's had better times. I feel like it feels like a Detroit situation or something like that. So I'm not trying to shit on the city.

I'm not. I'm not. It's a nice, half of it is nice. God damn it. I thought it was just a lovely town, like, all top to bottom, but I mean, I don't have the best eyes. The school is beautiful. The school that we shot in is a pretty beautiful school. That's why I'm glad kids aren't using it.

I mean, it's, it is, it is, it's, a, asbestos filled, asbestos. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. It's filled with asbestos. And fuck, why does it feel weird coming out of my mouth? Say it. Asbestos? Asbestos. Asbestos.

I mean, I think, botherbell, everything. I used to say asbestos. That is remind me, though, like my high school, Long Beach Polytech, homeless scholars and champions, they were worried about, like, drugs and guns or wherever the fuck. So they ripped out all the lockers.

So my freshman year, they were in the process of taking all the lockers out, so you just had to carry your shit around all day. But behind all those... Interesting. Yeah. You show up. Wygore shows up post Columbine

and they rip out all the lockers. Interesting. They also banned trench coats. It was weird. Anyway, they, uh, like, but they ripped out of the lockers and behind them were just all these signs that said warning asbestos. Long Beach, Long Beach. You guys were not, so where did you, where did you go to, did you go to high school in, uh, In 19, yeah, I was in Heinzen, yeah. Oh, shit. Wow. So you guys were a couple, a couple cities up, yeah. Yeah, yeah. But did you guys, maybe play each other in sports or anything? No, it was weird. Orange County usually stayed in Orange County. Yeah, we so we were by, you know, Long Beach Unified School to,

particularly play in L.A. County, yeah. Oh, man. Well, I thought there could be a connection there. Well, I will say, like, I did spend a good amount of time in Orange County just because it's right there, you know, and so... Spent a good amount of time in Long Beach. Yeah. My ska band, that he played Alto Saxon, my ska punk band.

My other brother, Daryl, that was based in Orange County. Yeah. Down in City of Orange. By the way, all Scaw has to spend time in Orange County in Southern California. Like, mandatory. Scaw Council comes by. He's also, he was classmates with Cameron Diaz and Snoop dog.

Not classmates, fellow alumni. Yeah. Okay. Both of them guys are before you. After you? Before me.

I hope so. Wise old wagger over here. When we were, we had a lot of fun in Toronto together. Joe and I had some great ramen, I remember. Great ramen. Great concerts. You, because you, I know it took you a little bit of time to warp with the city. You did end up liking the city.

I did end up liking the city. Joe, like, you know, obviously. So see Hamilton, no offense. You should take no offense to it. It takes me a while to warm up to any place. But I know we got into your impressions of the city a little bit when we're up there recording, but like looking back on it, like overall had a great, enjoyed the city, came to like it? Dude, I had a blast. Yeah.

Like, I had friends up there. You know, I'm very familiar with Toronto. I've actually vacationed there with my wife. Wow. In the middle of winter. We were just needed a weekend away. But, no, it was a great time. And, like, my friends are pretty connected in the local kind of.

event scene there and stuff. So we saw a ton of concerts. I saw a ton of concerts. The second week I was there, I met Ross Atkins, the GM of the Blue Jays. Wow. We just kind of kicked it off at a lake party. And next thing you know, he's like,

hey, you got to come see a game. And I'm walking across the street to the Blue Jays every day and watching baseball. Yeah, you were living right near there. Yeah. I mean, honestly, the only, the only probably bad part was that my family wasn't out there with for the majority of it. And that's kind of sucks. But other than that, like, I kept myself occupied.

I'd have good friends there, and, you know, Mike came along with me on a lot of the adventures. And, yeah, it was a blast. It was a lot of fun. You were Jessica, your lovely wife, were nice enough to bring me out to dinner. That's where I first went to Lee Restaurant. Yeah, wow. I was the third wheel at their dinner just being fucking taking more than my share. We like having a guess with us when we go eat, dude.

It was a blast. I love, in the slaw. We've talked about the slaw, it was quite good. Mitch is a great third wheel. You've come out with me in Lally before we've had a great time. Yeah, come on now. It's just a wheelbarrow. joy every time you're out with this time.

Well, I had, I, I, I, I, I, look, we did, we did, Joe and I, Joe showed me some, this is the truth, some aquatic training when I was there. Absolutely. Oh, I heard about this. Yeah. It kicked the shit out of me. Right. He's, I don't know why I would ever, because he was telling me all these aquatic exercises.

And what, what's, what's the, what's the, the things that you were using the, the aquilogics paddles, yeah. Aquologic paddles. And he, and he said to me, you were like, you're going to think this is nothing, but it's going to kick the shit out of you. But the hardest exercise. And the hardest exercise specifically is just... It's just with your wrists.

Oh, wow. And I did, for whatever reason, I was like, really? And, like, even after he warned me and then... You're like, I got this. It was disgustingly overconfident. Like, let me be... No, like, he's bringing this up because it wasn't... Because first he gave me this, like, I went, hey, I'm going to warn you.

Like, the last time we're doing was we're going to do, like, a little forearm blowout. And it sucks, dude. It's going to be, like, the roughest thing we do. And I remember Mitch was going to go on... I mean, look. This was the look. Like, like, if I, for, for the non-viewer, uh, it was as if he had sucked a lemon from the back of a vinegar factory's ass.

Like it was just, this sour. And I went, all right. So then it's, it's a, it's a, it's essentially 20 seconds each way. And, uh, yeah, he was screaming by like, wow, 21 seconds, maybe, maybe 18. It was, look, you're a professional athlete. I, but like, and I, I, I respect, but I was. like this can't be this hard. And like why, he's like you pointed out, I

wrist, you know, wrist this guy's got the grip strength, if you know what I mean. But you do this and then you do this and then you do and I remember my arms are just noodles at this point when I was going, when I was going up. And then we would hit that we hit the sauna together. We did, we did an audition

together. I read for a, uh, uh, who was it was a real romantic whirlwind week apparently. It was, it was a Gus Van Sant. Killing Gocker was the name of the movie. I remember hearing about this. So this is another thing that we've talked about

on the podcast, but part of being an actor in this day and age is you have to put yourself on video. You can't always just go in person to audition. And that means that you have to find a friend or a family member who's willing to read with you to read the other lines. You were auditioning for...

I have to ask Samoa Joe to help me read the fucking... He's reading the off-camera lines and your audition for the role of Bubba the Love Spunge. I was auditioning for a roll of Bubba the Love Sponge in the scene basically where we're talking about Joe read as Hogan, as Hulk Hogan. That's right, brother. And this is this is the issue right there is that I was reading as Bubba the Love Sponge and I was bombing left and right. And I remember even after you, I was like, I was like, is this kind of, and you were like, yeah, but do it this way a little more.

You were trying to help me because you know a bubble of the love sponge. Yeah. It's a very distinct voice. Yes. Sounds like a frog kind of like this, you know. I should have turned the camera around and had you just read for it But this Gus Van Zand movie

And Joe was reading the Hogan lines And it was one of those situations Where I was like, this is one of the things Where the guy reading the other lines Is doing a better job than I am Who's on camera doing the other role And I was like, they're going to hear this Just like when I did the Scorpion King 3 audition

With my mom And they like passed it around the office Because my mom had a funny Boston accent That's right. Ayo Hotep, you'll not what role were you reading for in scorpion king three it was it was a direct to dvd movie and it was that was exactly what it was wow they were like we're all watching the audition in the office it's so funny your mom is so funny and i was never be powerful enough to possess

o cyrus's eye and it was me just being like like yes my master like i like i like i like i was was doing like a shitty job of it. It was supposed to be like a dopey guy that followed Scorpion King or some shit. And but like it's like, I'm not going to get the role. You're watching this because you think it's funny that I'm doing a bad job and my mom is doing a good job. Or she wasn't even. She was just

captivating. She was just captivating. Next time calling a favor from your old pal Yix. I'll give you nothing. It's just be a complete blank slate. Which would probably make me look good. Yeah. I mean that's that. I will robot read from now on. I mean, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was,

Back here, Bubba, you son of a bitch. Why did you leak the tapes? Yeah, but I did not get the... Ben Affleck was slayed to be Hogan, and then they canceled the movie. It never happened anyways, and I did not get cast in the role. I never heard anything from it, but I will say this, going back to video games. Yes. Are your boys, your boys are gamers, right?

Oh, yeah, big time. Are they into the Nintendo? Are they cross, are they cross-platform? They're cross-platform guys. They're Roblox, Valerance. Okay, yeah. Yeah, they got their games. They got their addictions that are just, I don't, I have, I can't play their games.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kids love Roblox, and that is just like, I have no, I, like, I'm completely out of my depth, trying to make sense of it. But your game, your, a video game that stars you has come out in the time that since we've last recorded. Like a Dragon, Pirate Yakusa in Hawaii had been announced, I think shortly before you've guessed on our show. and like it was the kind of thing where it was just like

I'm just seeing your likeness in the trailer and being like holy shit is that is Joe in the game and you were now you've had the the game has been released you've had a chance to play it like what is that experience like did you kick the shit out of yourself I did which is weird no my my sons

though they couldn't wait to kick the shit out of me it was like it was like an event it was like they literally only played the game to beat the shit out of me and like show it to me that rule look at you dude but yeah that's the only time they've ever been interested

in any game that I've been just because of that reason but yeah no I mean it was it wasn't awesome I mean the yakuza games are period are like they're very very cool I've played a ton and I don't know man it was such a wild wacky

concept of a game yeah and you know RCGs are they're real um they're real big on like when they go big into wacky i mean they go big and i think like you know including me and part as part of the cast was kind of a left turn nobody really expected and uh you know they revel in that kind of stuff so i mean it was cool i had a once again a wonderful time working on the game uh sega was awesome to work with you know they just it's nice when you work with places that got all their stuff together and treat you nice and it works out

well like it's super cool so yeah yeah i had a great time and uh yeah man it's just uh it's cool to see like a digital antagonist that was you like that's just it's not a lot of people get to experience that so it's like it was it was wild for a video gamer for guys play video games all his life has friends that are in the industry as friends that are also lifetime gamers it's so nice to be flexing like am on these fucking chumps right now right like they're all walking up like but i'm sweet tooth and i'm a pirate i mean you know what more do you want yeah and i got say and you're king shark aren't yeah yeah i mean just you know like it's just it's it's real good for me right now. In my circle,

oh, they hate my guts. I hope, I really hope that we get a third season of Twist's Metal because I have loved playing a dumb beta to your alpha. And I would, to the end of time, I would play roles where you walk me around like a dog or whatever the fuck they make

me do next. It's a true honor. Joe is a great, a great actor, but also, I mean, a great athlete. The way you're talking, I feel we've got to establish a safe word. What is? we did press together and I just was

hyping up Joe the entire time and like he was like all right cut the shit basically at one point I just started lying about him I was just like this man saves orphans every day

every day takes about 20% of his paycheck and says this goes to the orphans and then he goes out there in the street and gets him you told the story last time you're on the show but I did love you talking

about the experience of you're brought on board for the yakuza game the Like a Dragon franchise and they're explaining what the game is to you and that would be like no I just started recap in what happened

in the previous game they were like oh oh it was it was a nice like because you can tell like the director I was working with like you can tell that he had told the story

multiple times that's probably one of the last guys recorded was this in Japan where this happened this was here in the States In the States. And, but, you know, just, you know, you know, when a voice director is kind of at the end of that production period, you know,

he's working. So I'm the last, probably one of the last guys record for the project. And he's like, all right, you know, he's kind of going through the, you know, the pitch on what the game is and what it's about and stuff like that. And about three words that I'm like, yeah, yeah, and the last game on Infinite Wealth, you know, he's like, oh, so you know, I go, I'm caught up on the story this far. Let's get going.

He's just like, oh, God, thank God. Okay, this is, you know. So it made the process a lot easier, you know. That rules. Yeah. You, you, so have you been to Sega in Japan at all?

I know you've spent time. I've spent, I've been, uh, you wrestled in Japan. Actually, I have been to Sega in Japan, but not for this game. Oh shit.

Many years ago. Yeah, yeah. You, you, you wrestled in Japan for, for, yeah,

beginning of my career, uh, for zero one. Yeah. And I worked for a Nokia office for a little bit and did some stuff with them. But, um, yeah,

I started my career in Japan. So, um, I have a fantastic appreciation from the country. I love visiting anytime I can. And, And, you know, like I said, having kind of a handle and understanding, kind of a better understanding of Japanese culture, it definitely plays into enjoying the Yakuza games.

Right. Sure, yeah. Like how much of a cultural touchstone that game is as far as, like, kind of representing modern Japanese society, especially like the cities and locales and the stores and stuff. So, yeah, like for me, it's kind of like, you know, anytime I play those games, it reminds me of being back in Shinjuku or, you know, I've been in Comor Rocho and all these places. you know what I mean it's like they that's the Japan I know have we have we ever I don't know if we've talked about this on one of your

former visits but there did we talk about the steakhouse in Japan that wrestlers all go to I know that I'm Rivera Rivera I know that we and I have talked about it but there is a steakhouse that where they give you basically a jacket correct the sat like a sweet like satin kind of members only without the paldrons type of jacket and uh yeah rebera's steakhouse kind of it became like uh you know a lot of early foreigners when they went over in the 80s, you know, they would stop by Ribeara. It mainly was because you have a lot of bodybuilders. They just want protein and rice.

Right, very, very basic. In this place serves steak and rice at a very cheap price. Yeah. I will say this, the steak is not the greatest. Yeah. You told me that too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The big joke amongst the Japanese guys is it's actually kangaroo.

That's what they always say. But, uh, but that being said, I've ate there a few times. I got me a couple jackets and stuff. And, uh, but now it's like, I've heard they're getting a little bit more stangy with the jackets like, because it was like every wrestler that, like, wrestled at any small company would go over there and it would be just be like, they were giving out 20 jackets a week. They're just like, all right, let's lay off.

You're going to keep it a type of circle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't have Paul Walter Houser walking on one of those things. Oh, my. Hey, he will get a Rivera jacket, though. I can't wait until you see it. Mitch walks in there. Welcome back, Mr. Walter Houser.

Yeah. I pull up my IMD, be sorry. Oh, that's awful. Get the fuck out of here Why is, are you, are you, are you, would you, this, this made me think, would you eat prepared kangaroo if it was served to you? Yeah, I would. I mean, if it was like, my whole thing on, you know, I've tried to eat lesbian general, but like if it's, if it's there, I will probably eat it. What about you?

I mean, I'd feel weird about it. I'd feel weird about it, but I probably would eat the kangaroo if it was served to me. It's also, would you have a cutoff on this? Dude, I'd hit a kangaroo in the head with a baseball bat. you know what mean those things are are they really oh they're dastardly i've never i've never been to australia i've never been to japan wags and i have never been neither of us have been to japan um don't get that shit out of you yeah that's what i've

heard they have like they have like they'll rip your gut out man oh fuck that i would eat some kangaroo tail maybe yeah saw video about a struggling guy just punching a kangaroo that was the best yeah i didn't realize you got a grudge against kangaroos he knew what was up he didn't go out there there no talk he just went out there and just threw the left hook you're over here trying to empathize with these things. Kangers don't know empathy. They don't one thing. Killing Mitch, bro.

I would hop in that little pouch and I'd have a great time. Be a little Joey in no time. You also, you lived in Hawaii. I found out because I'm just recently back from Hawaii. Wags, I guess now. Yeah. I am back. I was so it was more we kind of spent extended amounts of time out there because when I was growing up, my dad worked at Western Airlines out of L.A.X.

Oh, yeah. So it was like, it was not. nothing for him to get rid of us for a couple weeks during the summer and literally put us on a flight with his pilot friend and be like, make sure they get to their auntie and they fly us over to Hawaii. Oh, so your auntie, your auntie lived in. Yeah, another beach. Oh, damn, all right, that rules. I got to hit you up for more recommendations. I'm back, but I get for recommendations. We're trying to make it mysterious when I'm going. Um, uh, uh, how long were you, so you just were there, like, extended period times. Oh, yeah, mostly summers, but I mean,

they were blast you know yeah i'm excited i'm excited i'm excited to check it out is there any food over there that you love oh i mean everything's great over there i mean if if i mean obviously you want to hit some garlic shrimp trucks you want to get some fresh seafood are you're a musubi guy yeah musubi yeah everybody's musubi guys over there yeah yeah yeah i mean yeah yeah that's like you know you'll see those everywhere though yeah and the seven eleven's are more japanese s there than they are in that's what i've heard i've heard that the july the i'm sorry i've heard that the seven elevens are like decent they're great seven eleven and then the seven eleven's Japan are just amazing, incredible

edifices of that. Food and sustenance. I've, uh, the, the Hawaiian food for me is just like, uh, yeah, obviously that's a great, uh, you know, lots of great food of different cultures there, but I always think of the Hawaiian specific, like the lunch plate you'll get. Yeah.

And like, oh, yeah. With mac salad and rice. The quintessential, the quintessential Hawaiian meal is the plate lunch. Yeah. And, and the max has to have mac salad. Uh, and mac salad is, is a very basic thing, you know, if you, if you see celery in there, that's not Hawaiian mac salad. If you see extra ingredients, stuff like that's not Hawaiian mac salad.

And then you hear people, oh, well, you know, in our family, that's great and your family. We know in the big part of Hawaii, all them tricks and extra bullshit in there is not Hawaii. It's very, very simple. It's usually macaroni salad, little, I think, apple cider vinegar, a fuck ton of mayonnaise. And grated carrot, maybe a little grated sweet onion and stuff like that. But, I mean, it's very simple thing, but it's iconic. It's what you want. And then it comes with two scoops of rice and then a protein.

Usually that's, you know, fried chicken. It would be a chicken katsu, which is, you know, very Japanese-inspired. or you'll get like a short rib plate or, you know, CalPP plate or something like that. It's just, you know, a lot of different variations you can do. I'm realizing that that's like probably the, like, like, I guess Hawaiian food in particular is like the food I've eaten the least. We've reviewed a couple of Hawaiian change. We've done L&L Hawaiian Barbecue and I think we've done, oh, no.

Yeah. And both solid. Yeah, I think L&L actually is Hawaii like Hawaiian in origin. Yeah, it is. Yeah, you can, it's on, when I was like looking up places that was like, it's like trying L and L and I think it's like decent enough. But when you're in Hawaii, I think you don't want to get L&L, basically. Yeah, well, there's going to be tons of places.

And honestly, like, a lot of the markets, the small, like, little markets have the best stuff. Great pokey out there, you know what I mean? Like, all different kinds, not just tuna, but, like, like, crab, pokey, soft show crap. I mean, tons of great stuff, man. There's, there's, there's, there's a good Hawaiian food in L.A. And then they're also, like, there's, I don't know if it's still the case there, but Gardena Bowl used to have, like, really good Hawaiian food in their, you know, in their food court. So your dad worked at the airport and he also worked, we've talked about this before, we worked at Disneyland. So he would go, he'd get up at five, he'd go to Western Airlines, he'd work as a mechanic there until three, clock out at L.A.X, drive down to, um, to Anaheim?

Drive to Anaheim, and then he'd do five shows tonight at the Teigen Terrace. Holy shit. Get home about like 11, like kind of kiss us all, go to bed and then wake up, go back to the airport the next morning. Me and Mitch are just like, I can't believe what to do two podcasts today. I mean, that's what I was just thinking of, you fucking little baby bitch. wait me you're putting on me yeah yeah it's on you you hear what his dad does every day yeah and he knew Waltz you said he knew Walt's back in the day

yeah yeah yeah Walt hired him you know uh that's wild and uh because you know he's conceptualized and show whatever and everything and the area uh my dad was there for all that with the original uh with the original choreographer of the show who had passed you know some years later but yeah he was there and then my brother worked there for years i mean a lot of my family worked there i think my brother now still does the show in Disneyland Hotel. Wow. So, yeah, we've always kind of had a Disney connection.

And you were, I think you also mentioned you played hoop in the Matterhorn. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. The Madhorn does have a half court and I've shot plenty of baskets there. And my dad's favorite thing was to take me up to the tinkerbell tower at the top of the madhorn and threaten to throw me down. You put the, you like, do that, oh, you know, let's go look. Let's put the harness on.

You throw me down, no, you know. Classic dad thing. Oh, you know, a little dad thing. Yeah, I experienced it very time. batter horn you know that old father-son activity my dad threat when we were at the grand can he's threatened to throw me off stuff like that he did this you know this experience um i i uh that i got to say this is i did all this during the during press but this season every actor and i said i've said it every time you've been on but wags he the the way that joe is just moving with his

body and this is again this is the worst and and he's it's it's it's like mark's brother's shit he's like you're just watching his performance and he uses his entire body and it's and it's so fun to watch him do it and i mean he's also acting on set he's delivering these lines and i said this to you that you know will arnett does the does he he dubs the the lines in later but joe is giving this full great performance on set too and i can tell you no one's going to scare you more than samoa joe he's screaming at you and threatening you and throwing you up against a fucking ice cream truck it's fucking there was a couple that the day where there's a scene where i try to stop you and I pull you back and I was really struggling with it and I think it was

because I was like standing up to Joe you know what I mean who was like it's a menacing force it was fucking it was getting in my head it was like making me nervous and all fairness also you will get scared of Emma well yeah well also we dub over Emma's voice with well our names yeah I will I will I will echo Mitch's compliments on your first guy because it's like that's to me is like uh you Sweet Dude has such a specific walk that you've kind of created. Like, just a sort of way of movement.

It's just, and it's like, it's funny, but it's also menacing at the same time. Well, there's, there's so many actors that you just see, like, an actor who's scene is like, oh, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then you have to be so aware of that. And it is just a good thing to think about anyways as an actor. It's like, what are you doing? What movements are you doing? How, like, you're going to be real, but like, what are you doing in each scene?

And for you specifically, you're like, I have to emote through, you know, visually. Oh, for sure. Well, I mean, well, A, like, you know, for character like sweet tooth, like, obviously, once you take the eyes and the mouth away from an actor, it's a lot missing, you know, like as far as like visual cues and what, you know, most audience members pick up on. So, you know, you want to kind of really overextuate your emotions, a lot of moving your waist around and kind of just, you know, being more, you know, adding a flourish to every word you kind of throw out there and stuff. And, you know, I think if you do that, you know, it kind of helps the character be more than just the stoic. gollum-faced, you know, like, you know, I mean, there is an aspect of terror to that, too, but I just don't think that's this character, you know what I mean? I think he's a little bit more flamboyant trying to be a showman and be out there in front of

people. Very p.T. Barnum, you know. Did you ever, as a wrestler, was there ever a phase when you worked masked? Briefly when it started, and that was just literally because they needed heels for the Lucha show, so you put on a hood and be like, oh, I'm the freaking Black Panther from Mars. Like, it was like, you know, they would literally make some silly name of it. I think I was Enigma de Oro, which I think is like the golden enigma or something. Do you think Wags and I would, they would have us be mass wrestlers? Yeah, but for different reasons.

When you said stone-faced Gallum, I thought you were talking about my acting just in general anyways. But there is a scene where I see someone in the season and I like walked over to them. And I remember at video village, they were just laughing because I just was just, walking over like with my arms just by my side and not like not emoting very robot which is good for my character and now we will walk over here and talk to my new friends all i'm saying is i appreciate it so joe joe sanoa emmy run 20 2026 that's all i'm trying to say best physical depiction of a best best supporting actor i don't know what the fuck the categories are but you should you should you should you should get one um that go on but go on well you you go

i was going to say we're you know all the episodes are out now we don't need to get too deep into spoiler country here but i am curious like because we talked previously about you being in the ice cream truck and that's that's something both have you spent a lot of time in um was there anything particularly uh stressful or chaotic about the the the uh the stunt work in the the ice cream truck this season I mean Just about every shot we did Well, no, I'll tell you why

And it's because this like precarious thing We gotta go on as A You know, we're in the truck The truck is not In any way really set up for actual safety It's just no Has a general elute Because it's like on one wall

It has a bunch of old, rusted, sharp weapons A plaster to it And then the weapon The racks where the weapons are hanging on are also like little pointy spikes. A little old hooks. Little old hooks that are all been rusted and patina down to, you know, match the, the, the, the aesthetic. And then on the other side of the truck is just like a bunch of odd corners just sticking out and random bolts and stuff like this.

So, like, we'll be in the back of the truck and then it'll start rocking and like, you know, we'll take a turn real deep. And, you know, you're standing up in the back. So it's like. Harold has the seat. It Harold has the seat next to me. So there's been several times when I've looked back in like, you know, Mitch is flying into a wall of like busty bus saw blades and stuff. And he's like, oh, like holding on just trying to like avoid this from the side.

Jesus. Which literally happened to you as well. Like, like, I did fall out of the back of the truck afterwards, but. Oh my God. It was stopped. It was stopped. Our crew is, our crew is great. And then also, but there was one specific thing where Joe had to be thrown up again, like,

against that wall inside the truck and he did it. And you had scrapes on your back. Yeah. You were bleeding. And it was like, we should probably get something for all those hooks so that when you go into them, you don't have need a tetanus shot or whatever like a, like a, but it is like, look, it is, it's a complicated show to film. There's a lot of stunts and a lot of shit that goes into it. And it is like a physical show. And then at halfway through the season, we're always fucked up. We're like, like, we always have ice, ice fucking ice on our fucking legs. Well, I had fractured my ankle. Yeah. By the fourth episode. That four. episode about the fourth episode is that which got me to when we were running to the vehicle when we were running to the vehicle yeah we were doing that and then there was just a couple other things where i'd like jump out of the back of the truck yeah and then like you know the

boot that i have is a little bit it's got a small lift in the back but it's like it's also just like kind of unbalanced the way that they created so it's like when i jump out the back it was like the ankle buckled yeah it's all fine and then we went through the day and then by the end of the day like i was barely walking i was then the next day i found out i fractured my ankle that's that and you were like it's all right it's fine because you're You mean, you're used to pain, basically. Yeah. And then I was...

Well, like, I mean, I could still walk and, you know, be mobile. So I was just like, I will tape it and we'll get through it. Do you have a walking boot? How did you... No, I ended up... What I would do was I'd wear a walking boot, like in between takes, and then... And then whenever we'd start, I'd just kick it off and then go do the take and then come back. He's a tough man.

I don't know how... I don't know how the fuck he did it. And... Oh, drugs, dude. Tons of them. Oh, my God. I found this opium den downtown. Oh, that's right.

You told me about it. Anyways. no it was also funny that wasn't painkillers it was you were like on ecstasy one day yeah yeah i experimented you know i wanted to find out what was really going to take away the pain i i i give you credit because joe was in like a leather harness and sometimes i would help him get out of it uh i was i was your your your belt boy just it's not necessary to tell people thanks dude you're masked too and then there is an episode i'll give a spoiler alert because now it's out but i was just in my underwear for a full episode

and then to see how, like, you are just have pants the entire show. And it was like fucking 35 degrees in Toronto in fucking July or whatever at night. It sucks. It's the last shot of the day. The sun's going down. Everybody's doing the old trying to rush to get it in before that we lose the light. Yeah. And like in this chaos, they're like, you know, scrambling around.

It takes taking a longer. Takes taking longer. Takes taking longer. He's freezing. You're now shivering out there. That's just say, these bad boys are. Oh, boy. Yeah, I'll tell you, the diamond cutting brothers.

The diamond cutting brothers run in the house. uh yeah and i just i remember i just looked over at him and he's covered in blood and tidy whitties and i'm sitting there freezing myself off with the stupid clown mascot and we're just like wow all this college really worked out it really felt like we were back at that point but joe is then again once again fantastic and he should and and mike also rest assured is stellar in this whole season he'll yeah say look he's going to try to say he's not but he is so we're going to leave it at that because, you know, I don't need to blaze this guy.

Trust me, the cameras are off. I want to bring up that I said, you should win at me, and then I was going to say the story that we were talking about beforehand, but we were on set, and I was talking about our co-star, Thomas Hayden Church from last season. He's not back this season, but I loved him. A great guy. A great actor. A great season one villain. A great season one villain.

He's in Sideways. He's great. And we were talking about Sideways, and he got nominated for an Oscar in Sideways. And I was being like, man, Thomas Hed Church should have won a fucking Oscar for Sideways. And I was like, who won? And I looked it up and I was like, Morgan Freeman for Million Dollar Baby is like, people don't care about Million Dollar Baby anymore.

By the way, when that statement was uttered by him, everybody else sitting in the cast room turned around, what are you talking about? I mean, I think Morgan Freeman is a great actor. And he, like, Shawshank Redemption, he should win for. Million Dollar Baby, I was just like, it's out of the zeit guys.

Sideways is like a movie that, like, you remember more to me, the million dollars i don't even think it's maybe you boogey film types i i think he's so good and so is paul gmody he's not even nominated and and and and when i when i talked to thomas a church about doing doughboys for season one and he was gonna do it

he said he was going to do it and i talked to him for an hour and a half and then he told he said tell your mom the sandman says happy anniversary which was very sweet um he was like paul should have been not he wasn't even talking about himself he's like paul should have been nominated for his movie which he should have been Paul Giamati's great in that movie. But I was like, he's great in it. Morgan Freeman has other success.

It's fine. And I was like, it's not even Clinton Eastwood's best. And then I said to Anthony Mackey, I was like, have you ever worked with Clint Eastwood? And then Anthony Mackey looked at you, responded, uh, yeah, in million dollar baby. And I, I believe, was it, were you just laughing somewhere? Oh, yeah. And then I immediately was like, ah, it's a fact he's credit. Mackey also was just laughing at me.

He busted up bigger than anybody, but it was just like, I mean, have you ever worked with Clint Eastwood? Yeah, in million dollar babywags, I fucked that up pretty bad, but whatever. And look, uh, he, Mackey, like, we're boys. He doesn't care about that. I'll be back for season three. Sure. I'm just thinking about how much our fucking fans are going to gif your underwear scenes.

We've been talking ice cream all month. That's right. and we got the king clown here himself. We might as well talk about the king clown of ice cream. Yes. McDonald's. I'm curious, Joe, before we get into this discussion proper, first off. Hold on a second.

Deis, don't wince at my little sayings over there. I was more just thinking, I don't know if I'd say McDonald's is the king clown. You meant Ronald McDonald is kind of the king clown. I got what you're saying. I got what you're saying. I was like, I don't know. They were from a different generation where a fast food restaurant. just don't have

like mascots in front of them They actually have They're just loving it You know They're there How much more do we have to pay you guys

To at least pretend To like our stuff Yeah I'm smiling back now Hey remember when I made that Rain Man reference And they both looked at me like in forehead

It's way over their head We're blowing air out of our noses over here We realize that they maybe were not born When Rain Man came out The So

McDonald's You mentioned that the mascots may not have had a presence in a lot of young people's lives. They've actually kept Ronald McDonald behind closed doors since 2016. He hasn't been making public appearances since the clown scare. And then... 2016, that's the year another clown took over the Oval Office Wives. Mitch, don't get political. Okay.

Sorry. Warned you about this. Not that kind of show. Yeah, we shouldn't get political. And you know what? Shame on you, South Park. Joe, where do you stand on McDonald's in general? McDonald's, I believe, is a prop, you know, as far as the fast food goes,

I believe it's a benchmark in fast food. I think it is, I wouldn't say it's the lowest bar. Would you maybe call it the king clown of fast food? You would desperately want me to. to. I would say that it is the benchmark of serviceability. When I go to McDonald's, I go with no pretense. I know I'm going there. It's always out of convenience, never out of want, rarely these days. But I also don't want to get there. You're going to get something that you know you're going to get. It's going to be that way. The simpler the order, usually the more perfect

it is and uh i like the steak ice cream is one of those simple items that mcdonald's i feel does relatively well i'm uh where does it rank among your like like like the the the kind of big four of burger chains because you get you get macdonalds you got uh you know wendies you got carls junior hardies you got burger king i'll just say this yeah um not to glaze macdonald's here but wags and i really like to put over mcdonalds uh we're we're founder fans i get it yeah We're fans of the founder. Ray Crock stole the business. He did a great job, stealing the business.

Those rubs. McDonald's brothers. It does feel very wrestling coded. Well, you know, you would appreciate it, you know, two fine, hard work and Irishmen being duped by some lucidious American business. We're easily duped. What can I say? I love McDonald's. Yeah.

And I'm a Big Mac fan. If I want a Big Mac. And also, I say this. If McDonald's is hitting, as they say. as the young folks say if it's hitting we uh i think it's the best fast food there is and i don't i don't know if he'll agree with me i love i love mcdonald's i also think it has improved its consistency across locations i've been having a lot of issues with del taco lately have some really bad del taco experiences and and that can i add to that please uh as a

former california resident and a lover of del taco especially late at night so some of the best decisions you can make i had del taco for the first time in uh maybe 15 years oh my god like the other night and i agree del taco has taken a bit of a dive it's a bummer and yeah it is yeah they've uh you know they've had like i was just thinking your anniversary of this week yeah yeah yeah he went to del taco i'm pissed off so you want to go back to the hotel you're weird So I appreciate that McDonald's seems to have been improving that. And like another thing, like just since we're on Del Taco, Del Taco is a place where there will always be one item that's incorrect for my order.

And I don't feel like that happens at McDonald's. I feel like they're better about that. But I am curious, and I want to get everyone's takes on this. You know, you got kind of the Mount Rushmore of, you know, national burger chains. McDonald's, I mentioned Burger King, Carl's Jr. Hardee's and Wendy's. Like what, like, what is McDonald's your number one? Hardee's is, I guess, a part. But, like, just being in the Northeast, I never would think that.

In terms of a number of locations, though. What would be the four in the Northeast? I guess it's Wendy's Bird King McDonald's. Yeah, I don't know if there really is a fourth. I don't know if there's a fourth Mount Rushmore one in the Northeast. So I think that you're right. I would say five guys. Five guys.

Probably has now become the Northeast. I didn't grow up with it around in the Northeast, but now it's all over, I feel. Five guys? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right. I think that five guys is probably the fourth in the Northeast specific. but I think nationwide, I think you're right, that it is

Carl's Jr., is Carl's Jr. Yeah. What is your, I used to love Carl's Jr. so much. I still do like it. I'm gonna, Carl Jr. Out of those ones will probably be my number one. Wow. I like, it's a good, it's, it's, I feel like their, I feel like their quality has

declined a little bit in the last 10 years or so, but I used to, I liked it more than in and out at one point, why, because I told you that. But in and out is growing on me, and I, I do love it. McDonald's is I love Wendy's but McDonald's is probably we've seen the slide in Wendy's

even though Wendy's was kind of back then when we when we had it for whatever a month or whatever we did there but McDonald's is is probably my favorite Burger King is sneaking up there for me I'm saying BK is back but like I just I find myself defaulting to Burger King

a lot more than I used to doesn't always seem like it is just locate I mean maybe that's just the point of this podcast location dependent it's so locational dependent for sure should we end it yeah i mean yeah i've been saying this they're five all of them are five forks just depending on where you go that's it we're done well that's why i'm here that's why i'm gonna start rebalancing this

whole fork distribution problem you guys have oh i love this i think i did it the first time i was here let me get these back down to where the levels they should be oh i like this a lot well i gotta say this pretty good outing by macdonald's day when i had i i drove back from San Diego from Comic-Con with my mom and sister today. I ripped up here, dropped them off, and hit McDonald's, and I had a two snack wrap meal, because I also hadn't eaten. It was like 2 p.m. Wait, so you had two McDonald's trips today.

That's right, Wiggs. Wow. I did McDonald's twice today, and then I'm going to Osteria Moza with Joe after this. So a very opposite ends of this. No artery left untouched on me. I did the two snack wrapped meals. I haven't had snack wraps in a while, but that is not, this is not included in the review.

Yeah, we're reviewing ice cream. Yes. And we're very serious about this, Joe. Oh, yes. And I'm going to say this. I got a vanilla cone wags because I saw your vanilla cone. Yeah. And this was today when you went and got the snack raps.

And I had to eat it first before I ate everything else. And I was on cloud nine. That vanilla cone was so fucking good. And also I was just like, this is like, whatever. I know this is not the most pure ingredients or whatever. Right. But this McDonald's cone is just hits that perfect nostalgia of vanilla cone flavor that I've had my entire life. And it was fucking, it was my bite of the night. Why? Because it was my favorite thing I've had all day. Let me table set for McDonald's ice cream real quick. Founded in 1940 by the aforementioned brothers Dick and Mac McDonald at the time ice cream scoops. Ice cream scoops were on the menu. Ice cream was removed in 1948 when they revamped their menu into the more simplified version that made it into an institution that was taken from the by Ray Crock. We're like,

McDumbasses. In 1978, McDonald's introduces soft serve as cones and Sundays, and in 1997, they debut the McFlurry. As for Ronald McDonald,

to tie in for sweet tooth and... Wait, what year was the... 1997 was the McFlurry. Oh, wow. Ronald McDonald was first portrayed by Willard Scott, the TV Weatherman.

In 1963, his original name, Ronald the Hamburger Happy Clown. Yeah, Mitch, you mentioned the, the soft-serve cone. For me, I have a specific childhood memory of, there was one of those weird,

you know, sometimes there'll be like a McDonald's, like a little stand that isn't like a full McDonald's. There was one of those in Boulevard Park in Lakewood, California, and we'd go to the public pool, and then you could go to that McDonald's stand. They'd have, like, a limited menu. They didn't have fries, I don't think, but they had, like, hamburgers,

and they had vanilla soft-served cones. And I remember getting them from there, and that being, like, a childhood memory of mine. You like the soft-serve or the hard-serve? In general, I'm more into scoop. I'm serving soft, most of them. Ooh, it's hard serve machine. Bitch to clean.

In general, I'm more into like an ice cream scoop than a soft serve, but I like a good soft serve. You know, just depends on context. Joe, where does ice cream rank in your dessert hierarchy? Oh, very high. Very high. I would say one or two. Wow.

Yeah, there's very few things I like better than just a nice scoop of ice cream. Wow. all right i like it what else is up there uh pies i'm a pie oh yeah yeah what's your favorite pie uh ooh a pecan probably great answer yeah becon's a great great answer no no i like a good i like a good i like a good fruit pie well i was gonna say that after that it's definitely all fruit pies like okay yeah you see there's a lot of people were like warm fruit it doesn't do for me which is always just so confusing to me i don't understand that like uh i got a banana cream pie last night it was fucking great i was so happy i was a restaurant my neighborhood. It's really good.

Well, what's the neighborhood? Look, when we talk about going back in time and trying McDonald's, like I would love to try the first before Ray Kroc traded them for a map to a pot of gold or whatever the fuck

he did to swindle these two idiots. Probably gave him whiskey. Right? Those fucking Irish drunks. But, but there is something about that vanilla soft serve like that is the artificial

bullshit of it all that I just I I I love it Wags and and you you had one as well yeah I got a vanilla cone I I guess that the question we should ask about McDonald's desserts because is is ice cream the move or do you go with like the hot apple pie because I do like the apple pie but I'm always like I don't know it's it's never as good as I remember yeah I'll tell you why wise because they don't deep fry the apple pies wow wow yeah right on Around I think the 90s or something, they switched to the baked apple pie, which is a far inferior version of the apple pie. The apple pie of our youth, the deep fried apple pie was a thing of magic, a thing of mystery, a texture wonder, was great in a Sunday. Yep. Yep. You're dipping in the Sunday. As they say, go woke, go broke, wise. That's what happened here. I blame the dirty hippies for this. I'm sorry, I do. I want an apple pie.

But man, when you like the vegetable oil, and then all of a sudden, the pies aren't fried anymore. That's all I know. RFK, help us, please. Yeah. Please fry your apple pies and beef tallow once more. Actually, does sound good. Yeah, don't knock it. Sounds good as hell.

It's just making me think of Del Taco again, which is they have these funnel cake fries right now, which are an LTL. But the problem is, A, they're not very good. B, it's polluting the fry oil. So now if you get regular fries, they have like a sweetness to them. That's what I, so I got a comp, like I said, I had Del Taco for a time a long time. And the whole thing smelled like powdered sugar. Yeah. The whole bag.

Like it was, I thought they had accidentally slipped me some of these, funnel cake fries. And I thought, homie was being awesome. Like, oh, what's up, dude? Like, growing me up. And I know funnel cake fries. It was my regular fries. Jesus.

Smelt and tasted of funnel cake fries. They got to change out that oil. I got to say you had the same. Anytime I was near you this Comic-Con weekend, you said something smells like powdered sugar as well. Maybe it just was me. The after-effects are hanging around me for too long. I did get a vanilla cone.

I also got a vanilla shake. Vanillas of flavor. And I also got an M&M's McFlurry. Mitch, what else did you get? I got the snack wrap meal. I got the vanilla cone. I ate that vanilla cone. And then I got Oreo McFurray because I knew you're doing an M&M-M-M-Furray.

so I got an Oreo McFlaherie and I ate just a little bit of that Ori McFlaherty. It was good. I think that the soft, I think the ice cream from McDonald's goes well with the Oreos. They know what they're doing. It's a good mix up. But that vanilla cone was really not, that was my, like I said, the bite of the night. It was fantastic. After when I came to headgum,

I got a few different things. I got a chocolate shake. I got a uh hot fudge sunday which i added the last second and i got an insulin shot i got an insulin shot i was i was i just put my zep bound into my ice cream uh and then i got a uh i got a smores mcflore i didn't eat all of this stuff i was i was tasting um and the smores hersey smores mcflory is new i got one of those on a separate visit myself um last week i joe also wise you know what i order but they didn't have it was uh a harle I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. I'm bailing on it. Because you're afraid of Joe. He's afraid of Joe. He's afraid. He's afraid. What do you want? I'm afraid. That's pathetic.

Amelia made a Harlem shake joke and I told, I promised Amelia I would do it. I only made the joke so that you didn't have to do it. Well, I did it because I did it. And Wiggs can't do it. He's afraid. A low point in the podcast, please. of the ten years oh my god I just saw the sharks swim by and you guys were riding tricycles he's too afraid to do a Harlem shaking for you that's pathetic

you didn't have to do it fine that was like a 10% Harlem shake what do you want me to do wave my hands like you did wait my hands like you did alright

there we go You're still giving half effort. Anyways, I got to say this. Joe will never come back on the podcast, one, two, two, my chocolate shake was my least favorite thing of the night. And maybe it's maybe, maybe it's just that Hershey syrup that they mix because they have a good vanilla like we've established. But like the vanilla soft serve is great. So there's no reason that the chocolate shouldn't be good. But I think it is just kind of Hershey's serious.

Well, I think it's because it's mixed with vanilla. You know, most chocolate I share might have is just chocolate. That's a great point. Yeah. So they just throw a little syrup on the vanilla. Basically, you just have vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup in it. And that just doesn't do it.

It is, yeah, it's kind of a black and white. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, at in and out, they do have chocolate ice cream and vanilla ice cream.

Right. And they do mix it together. So that's, I never thought about the fact that their base is vanilla. So when you get chocolate, you're getting vanilla and chocolate. Great, great point, Emma.

It was not, it was not my, that was the only downside. I thought, Joe, you ordered, you inspired me to order. the Hershey's Smoors McFlurry, which was my main goal when I woke up this morning. Because I also got the Smoors McFlurry.

But it's a limited time, you know, item. Obviously, you know, everybody can have an M&M McFurray. Is that your number one usually the Eminet McFleurie? No, my usual is the HotFlech Sunday. In fact, that is only the second McClure I've ever had in my life. Wow. Wow. Yeah. Well, I just, if I was going to get ice cream, I would just get ice cream.

I just, you know. You don't need the tosses. Yeah, yeah. Well, like you said, your favorite bite was probably the bite of that ice cream cone just by itself. It's true. And I think sometimes we have a tendency, especially desserts, we have like a over-tendency to, like, over-complicate them with flavors. And I think, like, sometimes one sweet thing is probably good enough. This guy's a vanilla ice cream over here.

I love vanilla ice cream. Yeah. One of the most complex flavors, by the way. It's true. It's an exotic bean. In the world, yeah, it's not like, people think that vanilla is not an exotic flavor. It's actually one of the most. It's true.

It's an exotic bean. Yeah. fucking weave. Yeah. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I love the hot fudge Sunday as a kid. What I liked about it, I can't do it anymore, because I developed an adult allergy is, was the crushed nuts on it. Yeah, I asked for mine with crushed nuts.

You didn't get me that, which was awesome. It didn't, I, this was, this was an issue. Amelia hit us with it. Yeah. There is no nuts option. Oh, really? Yeah. It's a bummer.

So what you're not offering it anymore because of allergies. So what you're saying is we're not living in America anymore. Well, that's great. But that was a thing, like, just like that punched it up texturally so much. Oh, and the saltiness? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That punch of the movie. I'm going to read what Amelia texted me.

Oh, please. There's no nut option for Joe. I don't know where he got the sick idea. I don't know where he got the sick idea in his head. He could add nuts. In fact, I think I could wrestle this guy and pin him. That last one I made me The last part I may be added

Thanks for warning me earlier in that text You're right It's always the quiet ones Irvine right She did say I don't know where you got this sick idea She was joking of course But there was no there's no more There's no more nut option

You can't no nuts You can add like crushed Oreos and M&Ms You could add Like listen nuts might kill you Yeah Just gets more sugar on there nuts I remember being the default back in oh yeah yeah you would have to ask them to be removed for a while they stopped offering them entirely it's probably told you last time I actually got a hot foot sunday there

this thread said it started it said they just started this in october but it's six years old so oh what a terrible that's a terrible take um he the speaking is this guy's has a no nut life now he's he uh nutless yeah now you guys both got something in common huh This is why this podcast works, common interest. No nuts to be had. He grew up, he had a later in life nut allergy. Wags did. It's true, yeah.

It's specifically peanuts. And I thought I was having issues with tree nuts, but then I found out that was like a largely psychosomatic, but the peanuts are a real thing. And yeah, I didn't know it was a thing that could happen in middle age. But you can people develop new allergies. Sometimes like people who are pregnant have to develop an allergy from that. All sorts of things can cause it. Hopefully hasn't crossed over to the comic strip.

Peanuts. Oh, boy. Jesus. Yeah, you have other questions? You can probably... Fuck. I was talking about our comic. I was like, what?

Yeah, because we have our own comics, though, with extra confusing right now. Is there a peanut film? But no, I can still enjoy the adventures of Linus and Pigpen and friends. There was a peanut restaurant down there at ComicCon. Did you see that there? It was near, uh... No.

Yeah. And I went to a great. steakhouse with my mom and sister. It was called Lou and Mickey's. It's right. It's in the gas lamp district and it was fucking fantastic. I don't know. If you ever back down there, Lou and Mickey's, I had a blast. Great, great restaurant.

Anyways, Wags, it hasn't crossed over the comic strip. But Joe, did you finish your thoughts on the smores, uh, the smores, uh, whatever the phone? Oh, that old thing? Yeah. Yeah, I liked it. I thought it was pretty good because obviously, uh, you know, Smoor's just hard to pull off.

I thought the Lucky Charms marshmallows I would dislike actually kind of worked, add a little texture to the ice cream. So I did dig that. And it was a pretty good little McFurray. It definitely exceeded my expectations when I got it. Because I was just sort of, I went to the drive-thru, I was just getting McDonald's for dinner.

And I saw they had this, and I knew we were going to talk about ice cream in the show. So I was like, all right, I'll try this Hershey-Smoores McFoury in this context. First of, we should talk about the McFurray Cardboard Cups, which are a semi-recent thing. They used to come in plastic. I don't mind the cardboard cuts,

a cardboard cups, rather. I like, I like them, too. I think that they're, it seems like it's probably better for the earth, I'm guessing. But the spoon is gone. They no longer have the McFlory spoon, I've noticed. Yes, they don't have a distinct spoon anymore with the, let's talk about this, the hole in it. Let's talk about this McFlurry spoon.

Yeah, yeah. Straw spoon, right? The straw spoon. Okay, yeah, if you wanted to bust the blood vessel in your head, you try to use that straw. I mean, that was a health hazard. No, not functional as a straw. Yeah, I think a lot of people,

People probably try to drink, like, drink the McFlurry. Yeah, and here's what happens is as you're eating with the straw. Maybe it gets a little bit melting, and then this has happened to me, the one other time that I ate at McFlurry, I used that straw. And then I remember, I was taking my time. And then as I lifted up to put the straw about the back of the melted ice cream, slip down the straw right on my pants. Oh, man, that's a bummer. That is a fucking bummer. I never knew that was supposed to be a straw spoon.

I thought it just had a thick candle because they used it to stir the McFlurry. I think it was double purpose in a way. Yeah, I believe it was actually like the attachment they used. used in McClure? And they were just like, oh, just leave it in there. Yeah. Yeah, which now I think for whatever reason,

maybe it's just that sort of thing of they have one thing that mixes it together now or something. I don't know what happened. It was a fun gimmick. I understand what they were like, hey, it stirs it up for you in the machine and then we're going to give it to you.

But to the end user, it looks like a straw because it has a hole in the end. And we're accustomed to having straws with shakes. So I mean, like, I do kind of miss it just from a design standpoint, but I don't mind having a regular ass spoon. It's fine.

You're going to eat this some bitch with a spoon. I don't miss it. I saw George Lucas at Comic-Con. Did you really? I did. I went over. Hug yourself into an aging app.

I did play George Lucas on at midnight, thanks to Wiggs and Jordan Morris, I believe. You were fantastic as George Lucas. And it was a funny thing where I was like, oh, this looks like, it does look like me in the future. He's looking slim, as was Guillermo del Toro, who was also on the panel. so did you see this panel yeah that's awesome I went in so I went over to the comics beat

and I and I pushed our dough boys comic book wise I was promoting it and then I got out by 11 and then I was just waiting for Griff because he had I forgot my badge and Griff had an extra badge and Griff when Griff came down

he gave me his extra badge and we went over there and I was like let's try to get in he was like there's no way we'll get in but we We just, we walked in. We were like a half hour and we were like halfway through the whole thing. And then we sat down and we watched Georgia promote the new Lucas Museum in a narrative art. Can't wait to see. Yeah, yeah.

It seems awesome. We're right off a train stop. I'm definitely going to check it out. The, the Digman, Trey Parker, Digman, check out Digman. I saw the Digman and Trey Parker, Matt Stone and what's his name from Beavis and Mike Judge panel. That's awesome. And Andy Sandberg, yeah. You're, uh, just just going back to you playing George Lucas on at midnight.

John DiMaggio, the most best known as the voice of Bender, was on the show that night. And he afterwards took you aside and was so complimentary to you, said, how funny you are. John Imaggio, if you ever want to come on No Boys to have Bender, I mean, a class, one of the greats. How funny is he? And he's telling you how fun of you are. It was a very nice moment. Anyways, that makes me feel good. It made me feel nice. It is, you know, I should be nicer to myself.

Yes. You know what? I'm pretty damn good, actually. There you go, huh? All right, calm now. Sorry. Sorry, Emma. I like the smores McFlurry quite a bit.

I thought every, like, again, I'm going in there. I'm just like, okay, well, this is a thing to try. I don't have much in the way of expectations for it. I certainly don't have a lot of affection for Hershey's because they feel like, I don't know. I just, you know, I mean, Hershey's Chocolate sometimes is kind of, is that of your favorite? They're like one of the godfathers of candy, you know? Like, we can just pay our respects to them, but I don't want a Hershey's Bar ever in my life. Who gives a shit?

But, but I, exactly what you're saying about the texture connected with me. And it's just like, oh, yeah, you're getting a little crunch from the, from the graham crackers, the, the, the marshmallows worked in there nicely, good amount of chocolate. It absolutely evoked a smore in, in McFlurry form. Yeah, I was like, I was like, this is like maybe an eight out of ten. I was really impressed by it. I thought it was pretty good, too. Here's the thing, I don't know how much I care about smores. I don't know if I care that much about smores.

Is that crazy? Oh, yeah. Yeah, it usually means you have a really shitty child. I mean, I can kind of tell by, like, your love of s'mores, because, you know, a lot of great family memories are made around smores, a lot of loving, you know, type of thing, so. I loved my, I loved my parents. They were great, but I've met them. They are great.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I met your mom. And that's, I was, Jesus Christ, you're by my dad. Your mom is, your mom and your sister, lovely. Yes, yeah, yeah. Yeah, who's kind of a dog role now? They do, they do like smores. I just, the smokiness of.

smore's I don't know the smokiness no no give me a good excuse okay hold on I will get this out here I do like I like campfire smores okay I think that when I get like a smores flavor that's more that that is more the trouble I have with it is that like it tries to evoke a smokiness or something right you know what I'm saying and that that is what I that's what I hit on more is like I don't

like I don't like more mescalis tones to your I I actually I don't like mescalis Except for the one time I went to Mexico City. I went to a place called Pujol. Have you ever been to Pujol? No. It's great. Jesus, all these names.

Where are they coming from? Pujol is like, it is like one of the best restaurants. It is like considered one of the best restaurants in the world. And I went down there for a Netflix movie. Why is it LP directed and I was, I had a, uh, a little can, like a little small cameo. I had a small role in that movie. And I, and I went to Pujol and I had Mazzcal like from Mexico and I loved it. Yeah.

But I, I like, when your, mezcal is. a cocktail it's always a little too smoky for me so i don't know if i love like a smoky taste i don't i don't think i'm not a smoke guy yeah what's that not i'm not a smoke guy i don't i don't want the smoke i don't need the smoke i never need the smoke okay okay and so and so i think with a lot of artificial smores like like or things trying to be smores you get like a little fake smokiness in there is that do you think that's accurate um i don't know if there isn't this i didn't get it in this yeah i got zero smoke yeah yeah the marshmallow It wasn't cooked at all.

The marshmallow's not cooked. And then the gram cracker was just a normal graham cracker, and then just had bits of chocolate. So I'm wondering where the hell, right? The smoke comes in. Because I think it's the other room. I can look in there, but nobody set it on fire. Leave me be.

No, no, I'm not. This can't stand. You're talking about a flavor profile that was nowhere near the McFlurry. I thought that it was trying. You're acting as if somebody came and took your McFlurry and then a cocktail man, right? One with a tie and a vest came over and put a little smoke dome over there and had some wood chips in the back and steamed it up for you. This is what he does to me on set wide. I get scared.

I just want to know, where's the smoke? There was no smoke. Okay, all right, yes. I thought it evoked some sort of smore or fake smore flavor. Was it telling you a story by the campfire? I don't need you this nervous. I'll feel bad. It's all right.

It was totally smoking. Dude, fuck that McFerre. You're right, dude. I have been prescribed Lexapro and Kwanapin. That is true. I liked it. But I also would like the M&M's McFlurry over. Or the Oreo McFlory.

Well, so is your go-to, the M&Ms or the Oreo? My go-to is the M&M's one. Okay. Yeah. We freaky-fride at each other because my go-to is the Oreo. I like Oreo ice cream. I'll get the M&Ms just for contrast. You don't want to know my reasoning for this is that there's so much like cookies and cream ice cream.

And there's that for like when it comes to the McFlurry, like the M&M being in the ice cream to me feels like more of a different. It's exotic. It is. It feels more exotic. It does like a vanilla bean. It's mixed in there. It's like you're having, it's like more of a treat to me. Yeah.

I like my whole issue with the Eminemes McFlurry is you're getting individual M&Ms. I think, I believe they're the mini M&Ms, which are used in baking. You should, you should go out wags. What? You should give wags a hard time. Oh yeah. Well, he hasn't said anything stupid yet. Kind of hard, right?

Because you need idiocy before you can get mad at it. You're just getting mad and stuff You're just a dick But then if somebody says Something stupid you get mad You're just right Right All right

Yes sir I'll say some dumb shit I'll say some dumb shit I feel like it's a service area Problem with those mini M&Ms There's so much candy coding And whereas with the What's fun about the Oreo

McFurray is that those Bad Boys are chopped up You know what I mean Like you're getting a little pieces Of Oreo And so like I just As far as a distributing the candy, distributing the candy

the mixed in confection. I just feel like the Oreo is more like the Dairy Queen Blizzard, which is what the McFlurry is evoking. There's a good chance I've changed my stance on this, but I am now more of an Eminem McMurray. Yeah, but I like the Oreo more, but the Eminem's McFloree

was fun. It was good. You know, it got the job done. I definitely would like my vanilla shake more. I, like, I, just as far as mixins go, and I might have felt the opposite about the Oreo McFlurry over the vanilla shake. What, uh, was, was the vanilla cone your, your top dog or no? I might go vanilla shake.

Wow. I just, I, I just thought that it had a good texture to it and I liked a little bit of whipped cream on top, you know. Um, the, the vanilla cone was good, though. And I, and I, I, I, I just like, I'm not crazy about cake cones. You know what I mean? Like, they're, they're, they're little artificial to me. More sugar cone, yeah, more, more sugar cone or waffle. Waffle. Waffle. Waffle. Waffles, yeah.

Yeah. I think it just works so well with that, with that McDonald's ice cream, that, that, that little shitty cake going on top of it. I think it works well. Well, that's the part that, again, just like, to me is like a bite of a memory when I'm biting into that little bit of cone corner after I've taken down the ice cream proper. Yeah.

Yeah. You're a little six-year-old pubis boy again. It's opposed to a 40-year-old pubeless man. Hey, buddy, Mitch, you and I are both hoop heads.

Is there anything else to say about this bullshit? No, Mitch, the only thing left to do is to give our fork scores. So, Joe, you've done the podcast before. You know the drill here during Twisted Monthel. We are rating restaurants out of, on ice cream out of zero to five.

What do we land on? Well, we've done different. We've done different things for each. We could do ice cream trucks. Do we ever do that, or did we do it already? We might have done it, but we could do it again. Did we do ice cream trucks already? Sweet tooth masks.

Let's give it Harold's. That's great. Wow. Harold's the Joe's Sweet Tooth's best friend in the show. Wow, I love it. And even though Stu is there too. Harold is. But we all know who's emotional.

support animal is you know what I mean that's that's very true you mean me right so Joe your thoughts you're by the way is great for the joke of the show that Harold rides shotgun yes it's great but then like Joe was saying like I'm like in the back like fucking dude just like the the most scared surfer you've ever seen next to a dangling morning star yeah wow scared surfers sounds like a wager screenplay Ready to be written. What am I doing out here? It was a bad idea.

Scared Surfer made a billion dollars. Joe, your thoughts, your score from zero to five heralds for McDonald's ice cream. McDonald's ice cream has always been one of their strongest products that they've had. Wow. I believe that. What else is it, cheeseburger and fries next? Cheeseburger, hamburger, fries. I think the simplest items on McDonald's is what they do.

best. I think ice cream is one of those things. I think even though their soft serve has been accused of all kinds of artificiality and everything, it is a smooth, nice, enjoyable product that is consistently good every time I've had it. I've had a great hot funge Sunday here in Los Angeles. I've had one in Tokyo. I've had one in Germany. And you know what? When they get something right and they do it consistently right, you got to give them their credit. So five heralds. Five heralds. Wow. That sounds like me back in UCB 2008. Oh, boy. I was waiting for a Harold joke.

I'm so bad it happened. You never had one of those five Harold nightwives? Oh, boy. That's a bad night. That's a bad night. Five improv shows in one night. That's a bad night. You know, by the fifth one, there's no funny things being said.

And also, by the first one, there's probably no funny things being sad. Kind of like a doughboys episode. Five Harold's, Joe, look... Joe is Sweettooth, the killer clown, one of the most notorious clowns of all time. Ronald McDonald, also one of the most notorious clown. Well, not notorious. Just one of the most well known. Oh, you don't know what he does in those houses.

Maybe that's maybe why they discontinued Ronald. We're talking about the big boy wives. We've never reviewed McDonald's ever before. That is the truth. We've never reviewed McDonald's. Yeah, I mean, we've reviewed certain things from McDonald's, but we never reviewed the restaurant proper. McDonald's proper. So once again, this really comprehensive fast food podcast.

Cool. We're saving it for our final episode. Yeah. Well, so next. Which one is it going to be? Both of us? I mean, you know, a dealer's choice. We'll see what happens.

Yeah, we'll see what happens. I want to see the negotiations on this pack. You'll be first, but I'll be second, I promise. Two bullets in my head. What did you do? I'm putting a few rounds in here. Nothing's happening. It's just stopping.

Look, I love McDonald's. Are you not a Big Mac guy? Not a huge. Not a huge. I love a Big Mac. I love a Quarter Pounder. I'd prefer the quarter Pounder. Quarter Pounder.

Yeah, quarter pounder more simple. I love McDonald's Wags. And it's funny because I was never a big, I'm not a crazy dessert guy. I love, I love chocolate and I love soda. So, like, that is, those are my sugar thing. but like uh besides that's i don't go crazy with sweets a lot of the times i'm always i'm always more savory you do but you do love liquid sugars because you love like a sweet cocktail yeah i do yeah so those i guess yes if that's classified of sweets i do love

that sort of sweet but and so i don't have like that strong connection to macdonalds but god it'll god help me it's a five harold restaurant oh it's five haralds Five hours Areles and reminding you anything? Sounds like me at UCB in 2007. You use the same joke? The same not a joke?

Yeah. Well, Del Close Marathon or... Well, I'm glad all this improv stuff is working out for you guys. I did a lot of improv on set that got cut this year, I'll mind you. I do love McDonald's. I agree that a lot of times what they do best is the, you know, the simple items on their menu, what Joe was saying, you know, fries, obviously. But, like, their Coke is great. Their Sprite is great. I'm a double cheeseburger man, if we're talking about their simple, you know, like straightforward items.

That's a very straight ahead execution. I do like their ice cream quite a bit. and very often I will find myself tossing on to a McDonald's meal, an ice cream treat. In fact, I will, I will, like, invariably go for that over, like, the apple pie, which we, which we talked about earlier. Not surprised you a little piggy. But the thing is, all right, I rarely go to McDonald's just for the ice cream. You know what I mean? Like, that's the thing that maybe takes it out of the Platinum Plate Club from a dessert standpoint. point because it's not a full destination for me just for the sweet side.

You want to go and get that vanilla cone? You're full of shit. If I'm going to go out and get some ice cream, I'd go to handles or I'd go to like a Baskin Robbins over there. But to you, it's not that same thing if you're like craving that vanilla. Like to me, I'm like, sometimes I find myself craving a McFlurry, but as far as a shake goes, I feel like, you know, Carl's Jr. does a better shake. Jack in the box does a good shake. In an Out Burger, it's a little bit more of an ordeal to wait in line there, but they do a better show. shake. But I do think McDonald's ice cream is very good. And I do

think it deserves some acclaim some commendation from the Do Boys podcast. So I am going to land at four heralds for McDonald's ice cream. Welcome to the Golden Plate Club. You piece of shit. The Golden Arches Club. Four heralds. Four heralds.

It's a good score. It's a good score. Perfectly respectable. Yeah. Like, you know, any ice cream parent would be proud of their child getting four harold's got. I mean, it's not a bad score, but it could have been, I think it's Platinum Play Club. Yeah. No, but it's not, though.

It's just for Harold, so, yeah. I'm just sad, I guess. Should be. Four Harold, this is more like UCB, like 2010. All right, moving on. We'll snip most of this episode up. We'll just, actually, just, maybe this is just be an episode where we cut me and you out of the episode. It's just Joe.

The mother's going to be like, this is our guest, Joe, and thanks for being here. The first Twisted Monthel episode with Joe was hacked to bits because we cut all talk of Twisted Metal out of it, remember? We caught like 25, 30 minutes out of that episode. Remember because you were being a good union member? You're like, oh, no, they'll get nothing from us. And I was like, yeah, brother. That was one of the, a well-intentioned rule that had the, that was kind of weirdly implemented,

I think we can say candidly. Unfortunately, time for a twisted metal season one because we, like, we, you know, we didn't have clear guidelines on what we could or couldn't do. And so we aired on the side of caution took a lot, a lot of that episode, unfortunately. One of my biggest regrets in life is that I didn't cross the picket line. Yes, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, at least we got to talk to Joe. That was, that was a blast. So that, and we got to do it again, Joe. And you know what? It's, it's great for us. It's bad for you, but thank you for being. No, it was absolute pleasure to be here. Well, we got a little bit more before we let you free. That's right. Hey, I got a food stuff. We're going to decide if you should put it in your mouth.

It's snack or whack. And, hey, we got these Pringles mingles. I didn't even know these existed. Well, Pringles has been up to something, now haven't they? That's right. That's right. Joe, in twisted monthful, everything is twisted, including now Pringles, which Amelia is opening up for us. We have Pringles, mingles.

So these are light, airy, crispy puff snacks. and they're kind of twisted they're kind of not really they look twisted on the bag well so here's the idea here's apparently the twisted element Mitch it is two flavors on one bow tie

so this one is sharp white cheddar and ranch those are the two different flavors this is dill pickle in ranch I possess and I have cheddar and sour cream so wait so one of the flavors is sour cream yeah that's right cheddar and sour cream so too ranch is ranch

almost I mean very close to having ranch in all three of Yes, yes, yes. But let's try these. Here we go. Pringles mingles. Whoa. These are not what I expected. This is Pringles trying to move into the pirate's booty territory.

Yeah, that's what I was expecting. Honestly, I thought it was going to bite into a potato. And it's not that. It is a corn snack. Yeah. That is a puff. That is a weird version of the puff. Look, I'll say this.

He's over. There's a little. I don't love Pirates Booty I think these have more flavor They're obviously probably way worse than Pirates Booty Are you a Pirates Booty guy? No Because I mean let's just be honest dude

If you're eating Pirates Booty you're just Half-ass snacking I mean Grow up get some chips What are you doing? I've 100% agree Yeah A hundred percent of grade Sharp white cheddar and ranch for this one

The Dill pickle and Ranch I do like the flavor combo here I just don't like it on that Yeah that's what I agree It's the texture of the crunch Is a lot of pudding Is the texture anything like a Pringle I'm gonna assume you know okay no

I'm past these over to you I'm gonna try those I'm gonna date myself But there was an old like health Restaurant chain around here in the California called Skinny Haven And they had these terrible puffed snacks and this is what exactly what this reminds me of these are

gonna lock these over I'll say this I am going back for more of them yeah but it's only out of mystery for me it's not really yeah I'm trying to find the appeal yeah

I do think that I like them more than Pirates Booty I gotta say that like you're saying half ass snacking yeah but I mean like saying you like it better than Pirates but he's just like saying I like just better than yeah damning with faint praise Dill Pickle and Ranch combo

I think is maybe my favorite the bunch. Emma, you are a big Pringles fan. We previously discussed Pringles with you at length on the podcast over on the Patreon. Uh, yeah, what, what is your reaction to these? I feel like I've lost my fandom for Pringles over the past few, they've, they've, over the past few times I've gotten it, it just tastes like flavored cardboard. So I'm just like there's like not even potato left in them. These tastes a little more potato-y, but I'm not sure how I feel. The, the ranch flavor feels like I enjoy it while it's in my mouth. And then I'm going to have a nasty flavor in my mouth and it's like three and a half hours because

of it. But other than that, but I kind of do like the texture of the puff. I'm going to walk the other two flavors over to, y'all. I think the cheddar and sour cream is genuinely off pudding. I don't know what it is. It just tastes off to me.

Let's see if we can identify it a little bit more. Yeah, I'm just I don't know. I don't know, Wags. These things should be in an Amazon box keeping my glassware safe. That is. Those guys all ate

Wager ate packing peanuts on an episode Was it Dutton too? Yeah, I ate those Jemmy, I gave Jemmy one Why you eat them? Why you eat them? Yeah, they're good. That's great.

The dog did just flick it onto the floor That's pretty awesome. Yeah, Jimmy doesn't want any part of it, but I get it, Jimmy. Boy, that was a bad idea. What a bummer? What was the marketing meeting like and who went, yes?

That guy should have his tongue repossessed. The best thing about it is the name Pringles mingles is pretty good and and i also can sort of see like like like oh we're mingling mingles is pretty good what the brand is pringles you got mingles that's fun all right sure pringles mingles mingles is pretty good especially because you're mingling two flavors on one snack like i i do understand this conceptually it's just that the the base they're using uh this puffed corn base is just, it's a total misfire. You know what it reminds me of,

baby food? Like the baby puff snacks that the baby puffs eat. I love those. You don't have to even chew them. You can just gum them to death and they'll just dissolve in your mouth. That's the texture of these. Yeah, I would rather have one of those. Yeah.

It's weird because sour cream and cheddar is like one of my favorite ruffles flavors, but it does not seem to work here. Well, it's not translate. I think it's because what they're, I think it's because of the mingle concept. I think because one, of them is supposed to be like just a straight sour cream flavor. And if you just have that,

it tastes very artificial. I think the pickle and ranch I would have guessed would be my least favorite of all these three and it might be my favorite. That's the one that works the best for sure. I think these are wax all around, unfortunately. That's the, that's the one I like the best. That may be the softest whack, but, uh, I don't know, pretty. Yeah, sure. I don't know. Do you defend any of these? Are they all wax? I think that they're all whacks, sadly. Oh, absolutely. What a bummer.

It's like me after being stuck in a hotel room with my mom and sister for a couple days. All whack. We're promoting the show I'm on for God's sakes. You're doing great. Yeah. That was snack or whack, just like a restaurant of your feedback. Let's up with the feedback. Today's email is from Demian from Oakland.

They write, Happy 10 years to the dough crew. In the spirit of what I assume is another awesome twisted month. you are correct. This question is inspired by Sweet Tooth's iconic ice cream truck. If you could pick any other food to make the neighborhood rounds in a truck, what would you pick? Love this question. And what music would you have it play? I realize that food trucks exist, but for some reason, ice cream trucks are the only ones that move. It's a good observation. Anyway, congrats Mitch on season two. I hope you celebrate with some bar pizza. I'm in the South Shore and Linwoods is my choice spot. You know Linwoods? I love Linwoods. We're going to take you on a bar pizza tour next time you're in Massachusetts. I don't know if we'll ever do a live show again, but still, you should come and try it at least.

I'd love to try it out. I have an answer for this already. Fresh hot slices of pizza in a truck. If you hear coming down the street, then-d-d-n-d-n-d-n-d-din-d-d-n-d-n-in-n-a-n-n-n-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d- what do you think of that? That's fun, some royalty-free, like sort of Italian music. Why not? Hey, what's the matter you?

Hey, got to know what I do that. I would love it. I would say, stay out of my neighborhood. I would shake my fist at them. But I, but I, but I, but I get a hot, fresh slice of cheese pizza from a truck. Yeah, I mean, that would be, I mean, that would be a real novelty if that thing was slow crawling through your neighborhood, snaking through the streets and you can just run out and get yourself a fresh slice or two. Yeah.

Why not? I mean, I don't know. And also, the, the song is fun on top of it. But, but is it just, are we thinking dessert, more dessert thing? It doesn't matter. I think it'd be whatever. I think it's, it seems like it's a, it's an open-ended question. We had a, there's a, there's an, there's an ice cream truck in our neighborhood.

now that's around basically every day now that it's summer. And they play like, I can remember what, but you know, you know, one of those classic songs, like, show we-pop goes a weasel or something like that. But after every round of pop goes the weasel, a person on the microphone in the truck says,

hello. So it's just like, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-ha. Hello. It's really unnerving. With sweet-toes. Hello. Yeah, that person is a psychopat.

Yeah, that is, that is, that is, that is a recorded hello? Is it part of the track? I think it might be, but I can't quite tell. If it isn't, it's definitely a psychopath. Hello. A guy running from the wheel every time he has to say hello. Why, because what about a hot dog truck that sings summer in the city? Oh, well, let me be frank song.

Let me be frank, which is a thing we do on the show here. That's true, yeah. Joe, please never listen to the podcast. Yeah, this is helping me. But I'm done with pizza cart, so I don't know what you're, I don't know where your thought is. Yeah, I mean, like, look, yeah, you want the pizza is a great answer because like with ice cream and get a single serving and be satisfied. It's also the sort of thing, like on impulse, you might just go out and get one. I'm wondering if you might want to do something, because it's, it's.

It's hard to beat ice cream in terms of as far as sweets go. I think you have to stay in savory country. I'm wondering if you want to do like a like a soft pretzel. You know what I mean? Like like like a like a like a nice hot pretzel. Or maybe I guess if you were going to do sweet, you could do churros, something like that. I like that a hot churro truck is fun. What song are you playing?

Well, so here's the thing. It's like do you want to be super on the nose if you do. it's kind of like I guess the pretzel one could be like chubby checkers the twist you know it's like like okay that's kind of fun or do you want to just do something that's got like sort of a wide appeal and I almost just feel like do you just want to lean into uh outright jingoism and just play like Lee Greenwood's God bless the USA people will definitely have an opinion on that blaring through a loudspeaker going through your neighborhood definitely get some attention but also I think you could do just like a Taylor Swift song and like like, no one's going to sue you over one truck. Yeah, I guess you want to get sued over one truck. Yeah, you can play some Taylor Swift, but I thought it would have some sort of thing, something to do with the theme.

Well, that's what the chubby checkers are the twist for the pretzels one was. All right. Okay, okay, that works. Yeah. What about a papusa truck? Oh, a papusa truck is great. That's fun. I would, like, if I heard a papusa truck coming around, I'd, like, hop out of my office
