Starting point is 00:00:00 I saw Raging Bull at the perfect time for me. It blew my mind. It was psychological, beautiful, poetic, brutal, all those things in one movie. It opened my mind to what a film could do. This is from a 2015 independent interview with American filmmaker Richard Linklater, explaining how Martin Scorsese's biopic of boxer Jake Lamada inspired him to dedicate his life to the medium. In 1990, a decade after the release of Raging Bull, Linklater released his debut film Slacker,
Starting point is 00:00:32 an ultra-low-budget offbeat slice-of-life filmed on location in Austin, Texas. Critically acclaimed, it put Linklater on the map as a prestige director and helped light the fuse of the American independent film scene. And what Raging Bull was to Linklater, Slacker was to another American filmmaker, New Jersey comic book and hockey sweater enthusiast Kevin Smith. According to Smith, as quoted in IndieWire, Slacker was the film that got me off my ass. In 1994, Smith audaciously self-financed his debut feature, Clerks, by maxing out his personal credit cards.
Starting point is 00:01:04 The black-and-white film, set primarily at the retail stores where Smith actually worked and noted for its ultra-propane comedic dialogue, was a breakout hit on the indie scene, screening at the Cannes Film Festival alongside Pulp Fiction. The setting and characters of Clerks, most notably Jay and Silent Bob portrayed by Jason Hughes and Smith himself, respectively, would subsequently form the basis of a cinematic universe called the View of Skewniverse, still going nearly three decades later. In 1999, Smith released his comedic satire of Catholicism, Dogma, introducing a cartoon mascot Golden Calf, an obvious biblical reference, that was the Skewniverses stand-in for Mickey
Starting point is 00:01:40 Mouse, with its own chain of fast-food restaurants meant to be McDonald's. The restaurant chain would appear in future Smith films and be the workplace for the titular Clerks and the direct sequel, Clerks 2. In June of 2020, Secret Lasagna, the same company that created nostalgia pop-up concepts based on Save by the Bell, Good Burger, and Breaking Bad, opened one based on the Skewniverse burger chain in West Hollywood. Offering a prefix fast-food takeout menu, themed merchandise, and a walkthrough exhibit of Kevin Smith references brought to life, the concept provided an oasis for Smith's
Starting point is 00:02:11 super fans amidst a quarantine that's forbidden indoor dining in Los Angeles County. And so, with Link later as the conduit, one can trace a line from Scorsese's raging bull to the cocksmoker chicken sandwich, alongside a $28 t-shirt with J. and Silent Bob's catchphrase, Snoochie Bucci's. This week on Doughboys, movies. Welcome to Doughboys, the podcast about chain restaurants. I'm Nick Weiger, along with my co-host, Jason Tater-Tots, the Spoon Man, Mike Mitchell. Upon on Jason Tatum, could've gone with Jason Atom, could've gone with Jason Tate-Yum,
Starting point is 00:03:06 a lot of directions you could go with that. Jason Tatum, the Celtics player, great young player. Atom makes more sense to me. There might've been a Jason Atom on the show previously, that might've been why I used it, but here's why I picked this one. This is from Tom Bee from San Diego, California. Tom writes, I started this podcast from the beginning at the beginning of June and am currently through mid-July 2018.
Starting point is 00:03:29 I have no idea if anyone has made the Jason Tatum joke or if this email is still being used, hope to find out in a couple months. RoastSpoonMan at gmail.com if you have an insult you'd like me to use on Mitch at the top of the show. Tom Bee? Tom Bee. Tom Bitch, middle name Lil. Wow.
Starting point is 00:03:46 He's going to hear this in like November. He's going to feel very insulted. I hope you're freezing your fucking ass off, fucking little bitch. Down in Chili San Diego. Oh, he's in San Diego? Yeah, he's in San Diego. I hope he's in the ocean. I hope a shark fucking bites his ass off.
Starting point is 00:04:07 He's got a flat ass for the rest of his life. Just his ass. Yeah. What would you do? What are you, how are you going to sit down? That sucks. That's what, that's what he deserves. How the hell to Spoon Nation.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Wax him pissed off. Look. Why is that? I mean, I did a job so that I could guarantee having health insurance last year. I set up a doctor's appointment. I go there. They didn't put me in the system and I know I'm a boy who cries wolf, but I was just pissed and then they canceled my other appointments and now I'm going back east.
Starting point is 00:04:44 I don't have an appointment. Wait, I don't understand the sequence of events. It's probably because I just ran into like an insane person right now. So the first thing is because to qualify for your union's health insurance, you had to take a job. Sure. Yes. I'm just saying that's besides the point.
Starting point is 00:05:03 That's bad already. That's that's just a bad problem. That's just a problem with America. Yes. One of the few. I went into the doctor. I'd scheduled appointment well in advance. I get in there.
Starting point is 00:05:15 They didn't put me in the system. The lady's looking at me like it's my fault, but I got receipts. Why is I didn't do anything wrong? Hmm. You kept the receipts. Sits me down. We made new schedule. We scheduled new appointments and then they got canceled.
Starting point is 00:05:28 They just got canceled. The doctor canceled them. What a bummer. I'm pissed. So you can't see a you can't see your primary care physician prior to you leaving Los Angeles. Yeah, I'm good. I'm as good as done for. Wow.
Starting point is 00:05:42 And you know what, Nick? I think you'll be all right. On top of that, just driving around. People are out and about. It's pissing. I'm pissed off. Yeah. Feels like you're the only one quarantining still, eh?
Starting point is 00:05:53 These dumbasses like I need a summer. I need to have something like these idiots. These guys who say I need a summer. I need to have a summer. I was trying to figure out what accent you were doing. I need to have a summer like a Boston accent. No, I'm down at the shore. Oh, OK.
Starting point is 00:06:13 I mean, it is. I think there are people who are who are, you know, being very loose with the guidelines. But also, it's just such a failure of governance at every single level that it's just like, well, if you're being forced to go to your job at Best Buy to pay your rent and then then you're just like, well, fuck it. I don't know who gives a shit at this point, you know, it just sucks. It's just everything's bad. People can't have fucking football for one. You know, they get to send college players back.
Starting point is 00:06:37 You can't just not have football for a year. Whatever. On the bright side, someone, Chris Davies, sent me something from Mialingtons. He sent me Love Nala Cat Food. And the cats love it. It was a very nice gesture. The cats love it. The cats love Nala.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Cats love love Nala. Yeah. All right, here's the drop. I'm wasting too much time. You're pissed off. I'm pissed. You've got to get it out. I'm fucking pissed off.
Starting point is 00:07:03 When you're pissed, do you keep your piss inside you? No, you don't. You fucking shoot that. You give yourself a UTI, mess up your kidneys. Exactly. I'm going to have a vocal UTI or a mind UTI. What is a UTI? I mean, I know what a UTI is.
Starting point is 00:07:22 I know it's an, but like, what does it mean? There's like a little clump in there. What happens? It's a little clump in there. It means there's an infection in your urinary tract. Ew. Exactly. Nasty.
Starting point is 00:07:41 All right. Here we go. Forgive the pronunciation. Is it beep him? Beep him back? Is it? How do you say it? Is it?
Starting point is 00:07:54 Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it?
Starting point is 00:08:02 Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Beep? Is that how you say it? Beeping me back?
Starting point is 00:08:15 That was from Oliver. I should have bleep his last name. Dear Mitch, Nick, Emma and or you song. No, no, you song. This is my first time making a drop. I hope you enjoy it. Also shout out to my brother, Ted in LA for introducing me to this podcast. Sincerely.
Starting point is 00:08:30 Wow. Oliver Twist, perchance? So did you ask to bleep his last name just so you could say it was Oliver Twist? Please, sir, I'd like some more dough boys. Was that good? Yeah, it was very good. I mean, I don't know why he'd want more of it. I don't understand why anyone who listens to this podcast wants to come back for more,
Starting point is 00:09:01 but apparently there's an audience. That's all I got. I was just mad about my doctor appointment. Well, you know what? We have a lot of show and I'm hoping that your sour mood will turn sweet as we go because we've got a good friend returning to the show and we also have a very special surprise up top. You know, I'm very excited. Later in the episode, we are going to be reviewing the Kevin Smith-themed pop-up movies from the Viewist universe.
Starting point is 00:09:34 But before we get to that, we have secured an exclusive interview with the Golden Calf himself. Please welcome to the show, Moobie. Moobie. Snoochie-boochies, my dough-buds. Wow, Moobie. Wow, Moobie. Wow, thanks for being here. What an honor.
Starting point is 00:09:55 What an honor. It's so cool to-cowl to be here. I came straight here from the Viewist universe. Wow. A magical land made up in the mind of an obese nerd. Now, hold on, Moobie. Hold on. He's lost some weight.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Obese nerds are-describes both to the host of the show and most of our audience. Most of the listeners. Let's take it easy. I'm not saying it in a derogatory way. Oh, just factual. Got it. You could say it's cool. My buddy, Kev.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Kevin Smith. Yes. I came straight here from the multiverse of the Viewist universe. Wow. Are you familiar with Schrodinger's cat theory? Yes. If a cat is in a box, open up that box, let it out. That's my rule.
Starting point is 00:10:44 Yep. Now you know why I'm here. You see, if a cat is in a box, it can be both alive and not alive, depending on the observer. Interesting. When you see, every move we make splits into two different universes. So, in another universe, you two, as soon as you started recording the podcast, had heart attacks and died.
Starting point is 00:11:08 That's one multiverse. That's one of the other ones. That's a multiverse I'd like to be a part of is the one where we- Might have been a better outcome for both of us. It's funny. I didn't actually start in the Viewist universe. Huh. Wow.
Starting point is 00:11:26 I started in your world, if you can believe it. What? This is- You've Dr. Strange your way into the Viewist universe? This is shocking. This is wild. It was Dr. Strange who brought me here. Wow.
Starting point is 00:11:38 You didn't make sense for this world, I guess. Yeah, I guess not. I guess the people in this world didn't really want me here. Oh, Mooby. You really don't recognize me, do you? You're talking to me. Yes, I am talking to you. I mean, you're just like a cow man.
Starting point is 00:11:59 I could say the same for you. Wait a minute. Wait a minute now. What held on now here? Mooby, what are you implying here? Yeah, what are you implying? Do you remember back at Ithaca, Mitch? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:17 That night you went cow tipping with Hanford and Ferguson? Yeah, I mean, I was pretty drunk, but I- I remember we went cow tipping, we were having a lot of fun, me and Ferguson and Hanford and- Out in the field? You were pretty drunk, huh? How drunk were you? Do you remember?
Starting point is 00:12:37 Do you remember much from that night? Oh, no. Oh, but I think I see where this is going. Yeah. I was... I was pretty drunk and... As you know, I was a virgin, you know, I... Yeah, well, I was for long.
Starting point is 00:12:55 I was looking at- You see, that night, and I've only heard this second hand, but you were so drunk that you tipped over with one of the cows and Hanford and Ferguson just left you there. Wow. Mooby, I- It was you and the cow,
Starting point is 00:13:14 all alone. You know, that cow was my mother. Oh, my God. Mooby, you're my son? Wow. You made love to that cow that night? Oh, my, I mean-
Starting point is 00:13:31 You impregnated her. It's true. And I just want to be clear here that the cow was into it. Yeah, it was described as making love. This seems like a- So you do remember- I think both parties were enjoying.
Starting point is 00:13:45 I do remember, but I mean, I didn't think any... You know, I didn't think anything would come of it. I just, I saw the udders and I got turned on and- Well, something came of it. Something came of it, Father. Wow. Well, Mooby, it seems that you- I was born, Mooby, the golden calf.
Starting point is 00:14:03 That's why I- Wow. I'm half man, half cow. Half cow. Wow. More like 75% cow. This kind of bums me out because even as half, you know, 75% cow, 25% man,
Starting point is 00:14:19 you still weigh less than me, I believe. Does that mean you have three stomachs? I have three times two, which is six. Wow. Six stomachs, okay. I'm trying to do the math there. Cows have four stomachs. People have one stomach.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Mitch, you walked away from the field that night. Six stomachs. With a big smile on my face, it- It was my first time. And left her there to carry this child. You didn't even think there would be any consequences, did you? Mooby, I'm sorry, I- Let me finish.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Sorry. Well, look at me now. I grew up and made it to the view-esque universe. I'm proud of you. It became a giant brand name upon which people worship. People worship me. I'm proud of you.
Starting point is 00:15:16 In the view-esque universe. And I- I came back many times via Dr. Strange's firehole and tried to find you and just make you acknowledge me. Sometimes I would drive my- my tractor and park it outside of Palmerston and look in the window
Starting point is 00:15:38 and see if you'd look out at me and recognize me. Oh, I'm sorry. I was probably chowing down on a big juicy hamburger, too, while you looked in there, I'm sure. Yeah, you were. You were. Every time. Well, I mean, in all fairness movies,
Starting point is 00:15:52 your chain, the chain you lend your likeness to does sell burgers. I mean, you're complicit in the murder of a bunch of- Yes, fellas. Shut up. Don't talk to my fucking son like that. Movie, I will give you a nice, comfortable, juicy home- No, not juicy.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Wait a minute. Mitch, are you contemplating eating your son? No! Like some sort of Greek god? Yeah, what is your home? Between two buns? No, no, no, no. Look, you're the juiciest son I've-
Starting point is 00:16:25 I mean, you're- Oh, boy. Movie, I think for your own well-being, you should probably not cross back into this universe via a fiery hole from Dr. Strange anymore lest you end up in the belly of the man who is responsible for your existence. Movie, let me just-
Starting point is 00:16:44 From balls to belly. Come over, I'll give you a massage. I'm not tenderizing you, I promise you. Just come and hang out with me. Eat some grass. Mitch just put on a movie's bib. Do you mean it? I'm making for your affection.
Starting point is 00:17:02 I mean it, I got a good house here. This is a good environment for you to live, and just come over. Let me get some A1 sauce ready. I need to think about it, but I'd really love to have a relationship with you. I- Me too, son.
Starting point is 00:17:24 I- Wow. I love Moo. I love Moo, too. Wow, what a breakthrough. I love- This is- Moo, Moo.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Don't let Wiga wrap it up yet. I love- I love Moo, Moo, too. I love Moo. Moo. I love Moo. God, I've been wanting this for years. I don't want to be in the view of skewniverse anymore.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Kevin Smith keeps making- talking about his wife's cl- brown-taint area. That's all he talks about. I hate it there. I just want you to know, MooBee, that even after all these years, I've been only faithful to your mom.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Really? Even though she died right after I was born? Yes, I've never been with anyone else. Wow. She'd love to hear that. She had the sweetest milk, MooBee. I wish you could taste it. Me, too.
Starting point is 00:18:24 What do you say we meet up at her grave? I'm guessing that's just like a pile of bones somewhere? Let's meet up at her pile of bones in upstate New York, in Ithaca. All right, MooBee. Thank you so much for joining us here. Anything you'd like to plug? Check out my new MooBee's location
Starting point is 00:18:45 in Los Angeles, California. Drink Milk. Follow Kevin Smith on Twitter. And be kind. Moo one another. Wow. Sage words. MooBee, everyone.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Thank you so much, MooBee. MooBee, wow. I love Moo, guys. I love Moo. Love Moo, too, my son. Wow. Wow. It's shocking.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Just startling revelations here. I mean... Not since Star Wars has there been a bigger son and father reveal. I'm just amazed you actually had sex in college. It didn't count. It was out in the field. Hey, Mitch. We've kept our guests waiting way too long.
Starting point is 00:19:31 The guest from the very first No Boys episode from our pilot. Sorry. A frequent guest of the show. She's a writer for Briar Patch and Dispatches from Elsewhere. Eva Anderson is back. Hi, Eva. Hey, guys. I'm so excited to be back.
Starting point is 00:19:45 Oh, my God. Thank you so much for being here. The last time I think we went to Chili's in Vegas. Was that... That was our most recent visit... That was your most recent visit with the Doe Boys, I believe. Yeah. When we flew to Vegas, ate at the Chili's too in the McCarrion airport and flew back
Starting point is 00:20:02 in the same day. Never went to Vegas at all. A truly insane thought in these times. I just realized because I still follow the McCarrion airport on Twitter and they tweeted today about just what's going on at the McCarrion airport. It's a pretty fun... It's a pretty fun little account. Probably, you know, as far as embarrassing things on the podcast go, that was maybe number
Starting point is 00:20:25 one until today's episode possible. Yeah. When I tell people about that trip to Vegas and not leaving the airport, they think that I'm insane. I mean, it's an insane person. It's an insane person trip. It was content. It was very wasteful content.
Starting point is 00:20:48 And you can't do that anymore. Eva, I know you're a frequent traveler. We've talked a lot on the show about your trips around the globe. How are you adjusting mentally to this new reality? Not great. It's actually been really depressing. Like it is for a lot of people not being able to go places and leave your house. And I mean, yeah, if a lot of your identity is tied to the fact that you can just pick
Starting point is 00:21:14 up and go places whenever you want, even if it's just like driving to Vegas to see David, Chris Angel's magic show for no reason. And then suddenly you can't do that. Then you just have to sit with your thoughts and like, that's horrible. That's a terrible thing to do. And we've been doing it for months, just been quarantined with our own thoughts. I like how you almost said David Copperfield and then Cotton corrected yourself. Oh, I did that too.
Starting point is 00:21:39 I actually almost said David Blaine. But I did one time just go to the David Copperfield trip on myself. Wow. Yeah. Was that the one? Oh, wait, I don't know if we can talk about it, but is that the alien one? Mm-hmm. Yeah, it was amazing.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Yeah, I miss the world. I miss my friends. I miss everything. But things like this, getting to see you guys and do a podcast and Zoom with y'all makes me really happy. Same. So that's good. What a treat.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Yeah. Yeah, this is simulating human interaction now. I've had some in-person interactions, but they're all standing far apart. Everyone's wearing masks. We're waving instead of hugging. I mean, that part I'm into. But it is strange. It's weird.
Starting point is 00:22:30 I mean, we don't even need to say this. Everyone knows this. Everyone's living through it. It's strange. But it also, I mean, naturally will impact not just your interactions, but what you're putting into your body, your food intake. Eva, how are you eating while we're locked down? I've been doing, like, I did the stupid thing or whatever.
Starting point is 00:22:52 I just adjusted right when quarantine started by deciding to just cook my way out of it. So I did all this weird shit. I bought a meat grinder and I made sausage from scratch. Wow. I just packed the freezer with all sorts of weird things that took forever to make. I made duck carnitas and all this stuff. Wow. It was fun.
Starting point is 00:23:18 But then I hit a wall a few months in where I was like, what am I doing? I cooked the entire Bon Appetit magazine one month. Wow. And then I was like, this is stupid. This isn't making me feel better. And so now I've been trying to chill out a little bit and I've been ordering a little more takeout and not being as competitive with myself in terms of having to be a domestic goddess in quarantine.
Starting point is 00:23:43 Right. Feeling like you have to be productive. I get the same. Not in that specific way, but I have the same sort of thing of just like, oh, I have to do these tasks. I have to finish this online course or whatever else. And then I'm just like, get mad at myself for not doing it. I'm like, what the fucking point?
Starting point is 00:23:59 It's all fucking illusion anyway. Yeah. There's no winning. Just trying to pretend like anything matters. You can't win quarantine, which is what I have to keep reminding myself. You just have to be alive at the end of it. And then you win. And there's like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:13 If you could win or lose, I'm definitely closer to losing. I'm closer to last place. I've done very poorly, Wags. Are you gonna come out on the other side? Yeah. I'm retreating. I'm retreating back to Quincy. I think a lot of, you know, and to use another RE word, regressing.
Starting point is 00:24:33 A lot of people feel like they're regressing right now. Like they're going towards... Degas. Oh, wow, Mitch. Did someone just do a babality on you? Just do a self-babality? Why you change me? Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:24:51 I can't, Mitch. It's not sanitary with the social distancing guidelines. You're going to have to be a big boy and change yourself. Ah, fine. Damn it. You can hire an essential worker to do that, probably. Yeah, you probably could. Should I put a want that out for essential worker to change grown man's diaper?
Starting point is 00:25:12 Yeah, the unemployment extension just ran out, so probably someone will do it. Oh, God damn it. Jesus Christ. That's so dark. Wait, I want to turn back because you talked about you got a meat grinder and you're making sausage. I do want to know how this sausage is made. How do you make sausage? Wow, Wags.
Starting point is 00:25:32 I use the Food Lab cookbook, and it's also on the website Serious Eats for all my meat stuff. Yes. You have to get pork belly and pork shoulder, and you have to put them together with a bunch of, you have to salt them and put spices and let them sit in the fridge for 24 hours, and then you grind them together, and meat grinders are disgusting. They're really hard to clean. Oh, I can imagine. But at the end of it, you get little patties.
Starting point is 00:26:04 I didn't get casings, I just made little breakfast sausage patties, but they were really good. I ended up with way too much of it, so that was fun. Yeah. Here's a sausage hot take. I like the breakfast sausage patty more than the link. I agree. In a breakfast context, give me the patty. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:27 I maybe agree with that too. You know what? It depends. It depends. There's an exception, and the worst breakfast sausage I've had in a long time might be the one I had at a place we're about to discuss later in this episode. Wow. I was going to say that there's, I guess it's probably like a breakfast sausage that has
Starting point is 00:26:48 like a casing and is kind of tight, if you know what I mean. A snap? A snap. Yeah, I'm not as big into the snap. What you like is, why is what you're talking about, the patties that are kind of like a kind of hamburger-y in texture, they do links that when they do links of those that are also like kind of the same texture, I enjoy those just as much as I like the patties. It's almost the same exact thing.
Starting point is 00:27:09 You know what I mean? Like a log, like a log of sausage. That's nice. Like a log of sausage. Yeah, that's cool. You can do that. We're just talking form factor, I feel like, at that point, because it's essentially the same thing, just either mold it into a patty or mold it into a link.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Which way is it getting in your stomach? It's getting in your stomach. That's basically it. Exactly. But I don't know. There's something about, I guess because sausage puts me in, like a link sausage puts me in, that's more of a finger food, but I feel like I kind of, it's a better fork full, the sausage patty if I'm having like a big breakfast plate.
Starting point is 00:27:44 And that's usually a context in which I'd have some breakfast sausages. I'll link some toast. A link sausage. You try to say this Mitch, that like it's easier to poop out a log of sausage than a patty. Are you swallowing those bad boys whole? It's just kiddie come out. Like pills. Like pills?
Starting point is 00:28:00 You think I like take them and swallow them with water quickly? Yeah, like a gulp. Like a cartoon wolf. You just throw them in your mouth. I wish I had the power. First your eyes get a little big bulge out of your head. That would be a cool power. I was going to say, Nick, a link sausage should be in the shape of a triforce.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Mmm. Yes. Yes. Three triangles with some negative space between them. He's heating up. That's how a real, that's a real link sausage. That's for me because my joke was good. The NBA Jam announcer just makes an appearance on the show.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Soon I'll be on fire. You'll see. Wow. So we're going to get into this week's restaurant in a little bit, Eva, which you not only brought to our attention, but suggested for the podcast. And I'm glad you did because it's a fascinating place to discuss. And also quickly, fuck you for doing so. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:00 And I would say that I also harassed you with links to it for like almost a month. Just was like, hey, it's still, oh look, it's open. No look. And separately together, I just was a harangue about it. I mean, to be fair, it's baffling. It's a baffling. Yeah. The fact that this place exists is baffling.
Starting point is 00:29:22 It's very odd. And then on top, well, just going into what happened and the fact that people still visited this place makes it even more insane. I mean, it's just fucking crazy. Its existence in this current climate and reality is very strange because it is essentially, and here's where I was going with this question, Eva, it is like an immersive experience. And I know you're someone who like really likes like immersive theater, like weird sort of, you know, experiential things.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Does that, I mean, like do you appreciate theme restaurants like this in the same sort of way? Does that scratch that same itch? Oh, for sure. Like I, I love going to like a Guy Fieri restaurant anywhere I can find one. If I'm like driving through a small town and they have like a cowboy restaurant, I will totally go there before anything else or like a weird, oh man, like one time this is like travel stuff.
Starting point is 00:30:18 But I was in Eastern Europe in Estonia and they had a medieval restaurant that was all lit by candles where you ate a meal that you would eat if you were like a wealthy merchant coming through Talon Estonia, like during Game of Thrones era. So if you were a 14th century wiger, exactly, that is my ancestral homeland on my father's side. Oh yes, of course, I always forget that you're Estonian, but yeah, I like I went there and I had like bear sausage running away from a mob with torches like that's my favorite thing is to go to some weird place with like a awkward theme.
Starting point is 00:30:59 And I think that's probably why when I, when this like popped up, my eyes just grew wide and I got very, very excited because I didn't think, I felt like quarantine was a space where we're like, we would never have another themed experience again. Right. What would, what would be the point? Yeah. The idea that you could just, that they were still like charging ahead with this terrible idea made my heart flutter and it was like, oh, this is the closest I'll get to going
Starting point is 00:31:27 to like a bad, a bad theme park until this is over basically. Right. And then I had to loop you guys in so I would, there would be a reason for it. Did you go to, so this company, the company that is behind this installation, Secret Lasagna and they, they, or they done a run of these in the exact same space, the same storefront in West Hollywood. The first one and the most successful was saved by the Max, the Saved by the Bell themed restaurant.
Starting point is 00:31:54 They had a Good Burger, which we went to and, and, and, and discussed on a Doe Boys double episode with a buddy Paul Scheer back in the last year, a couple of years ago. There was a Good Burger themed pop-up and there was also a Breaking Bad themed pop-up, which I'm not even sure what it was. I assume it was the chicken restaurant, but I never investigated. But did you go to any of those Eva? No, I didn't. I just missed them.
Starting point is 00:32:17 I, I also don't care that much about Saved by the Bell. So I was like, eh, and I knew a lot of people were going to that, but I probably would have gone to Good Burger or like the, the Breaking Bad one, if I had been driving past it and noticed it and been like, oh, like I have nothing to do for an hour. There was something about movies that because of quarantine, it just, it demanded so much of me, uh, in terms of scheduling, uh, that it, it somehow was like more appealing and it, it started to like loop in my brain as like, I, this has to happen. Right.
Starting point is 00:32:53 Does that make sense? No, I get you. There's just, there's so little novelty anymore. Um, at the, at the Good Burger pop-up was Dan Schneider in a cage growling at people as they walk in. He's eating up. I knew somebody worked. I heard he had like a, did I even tell you guys this?
Starting point is 00:33:13 I heard that Dan Schneider had like a PA that followed him around with a briefcase full of hot sauces so that he could pick the hot sauce he wanted out of the briefcase like when he ate. He's a heat seeker. Dan Schneider is a heat seeker. This is not good for the Weiger brand. I don't like this guilt by association. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Something of a heat seeker. Well, Jesus Christ. That's like you're, that's like in the pulp fiction, the, the briefcase that's you is getting, getting a hold of that briefcase, Wags. Hey, that feels like one, that feels like something that you would, I, I'm surprised that, that maybe this pop-up has been attempted at some place, but like a jackrabbit slims from pulp fiction. Like why has no one tried to like a, or, or like the reservoir dogs diner?
Starting point is 00:34:03 Why has no one tried that? That's a great idea. Yeah. But I guess you probably need the cooperation of Tarantino and maybe he's like, kind of like, I don't want to be involved in that shit. From my experience of these places, good call, Tarantino. Did you guys ever go to the Heart Attack Grill? That's one that's like, I always think about going there when I'm in Vegas and I never
Starting point is 00:34:26 go. Yeah. I've seen, I've seen the Heart Attack Grill. I've seen like a bunch of, of, you know, people visiting that, that place on travel shows. And then I, of course, remember the article about the guy who was like the, the morbidly obese guy who like had a heart attack after eating at Heart Attack Grill and died or was just a frequent customer who had a heart, had a heart attack and it was just like really,
Starting point is 00:34:47 really, it was just a bummer. But I am intrigued by that place. I like that the guy dresses up like a doctor. I think that's fun. Yeah. And that that guy was like watching the guy have the heart attack, the waiter who was just a, like dressed as a doctor was like, I can't help you. Wait, is that true?
Starting point is 00:35:04 Yeah. I mean, all the wait staff is dressed like doctors and nurses. So this guy was like having a heart attack on the ground, but there was just a bunch of waiters dressed like nurses being like, ah, right. That guy, that guy visited me like Jacob Marley. He's on fire. Wow. Thanks, Wags.
Starting point is 00:35:27 You know, when I was at the Heart Attack Grill, there was a scale outside. What else are you going to say? You piece of shit. No, go on. What else? What were you going to say? I was just going to go to break. Go on.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Um, when, when I was at the Heart Attack Grill, Jack Allison tried to make me stand on the big scale in front of a group of people because it shows your weight to the world. And if you, if you weigh a certain amount, like if a group of people weighs a certain amount, you eat free or something, right? Isn't that a part of the deal? Yeah. Yeah. They don't know what the threshold is, but it's got to keep going up in today's America,
Starting point is 00:36:05 right? Yeah. I was going to say, Wags. It just doesn't seem very good. I think that's, if a place like I know it's going to be really bad, sometimes it's hard for me to go to a theme place. Right. Like if their thing is like, oh, everything's over the top, but then I want it to actually
Starting point is 00:36:20 be decadent and delicious and worth the calories, not just like, like, oh, I'm just eating a bunch of garbage because I just to like, you know, prove a point or whatever. I got, I have it. I have the, I have the website open right now. And it's just, I mean, this website is, I already, I hate this place. And also very hard to find the menu. I know they have like butterfat milkshakes. That's the kind of thing that, like, I ate at a place once where they had, their gimmick
Starting point is 00:36:56 was that they had all of their beef, their burger patties were 50% beef, 50% bacon. It was like from that epic bacon era where everything's better with bacon, you know, but, you know, whatever, keep common bacon. It was like that kind of shit. But the, and it sounds like good, like, there's a layer of, it's like, oh. He's cooling down. Keep common bacon would do gangbusters on tea public. Don't act like people wouldn't buy that.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Um, the, but it was like, it was 50% beef, 50% bacon in their patties, which sounds like, oh, that would be good if you like bacon. But in practice, it's not because it just like, it doesn't have the right composition or texture. And because it's pork, you have to cook it to, to well done. You can't get a medium burger. And so it was just like, it kind of all fell apart. The butterfat milkshake to me sounds like the same sort of thing.
Starting point is 00:37:58 Like it's just like, oh, that could be good. But I don't know. Yeah. It sounds kind of maybe gross in practice. Oh, it's over 350 pounds. You eat free. Wow. That's nice.
Starting point is 00:38:09 That's the heart attack grill. That is, that is so, I'd be so embarrassed to get on the grill, to get on the grill, to get on the grill. I would be so embarrassed if I got on the grill. Oh, interesting thing about the heart attack grill here, I'll share it. I'll share it here. I think that you guys will, uh, we'll find this open right now. Could I go there tonight?
Starting point is 00:38:32 My guess is that 100% yes, you could go there here. This is from the heart attack grill. Oh, cool. Oh boy. It just, uh, shared the men's bathroom at heart attack grill and inside the urinals are pictures of Hillary Clinton and the man I refer to as the orange buffoon, our current president, Donald Trump. So depending on your, your political preference, you can urinate on one or the other.
Starting point is 00:38:58 Is that also a pizza gate thing that the children's one is, uh, is Hillary? Is there something to that or no? Oh, it could be a pizza gate thing. Or did I create that? Oh. And here's something. I'm just saying, yeah, cause the, the lower one, the shorter one is Hillary. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:39:13 Can you get adrenochrome from your child's urine when they're afraid, or do you have to drink their blood or get their adrena, adrenal plants? You're, you're, you're, you're, you're addressing that to, you're addressing that to Nick. Correct. In the video where, uh, Hillary, uh, tears a kid's face off and then dances around wearing it with Huma Abedin. Do you know if the kid pees on her before it happens? Cause I feel like if, I see a few people could see that they would, their minds would be
Starting point is 00:39:40 blown. Do you know that the cops that watch the video, the frazzledrop video killed, like they died, they either killed themselves or they just died from watching it. Wow. It was on Anthony Wiener's computer. Um, many people have seen it, but they've all died. Wow. Q.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Is this all Q? Is this, is this from Q? Yeah. Hey, there's a wine bag served in an IV drip, Wiger. That's fun. Um. Do you think that, that like Comet ping pong that the heart attack grill has a basement with like a bunch of like portly children, portly mole children?
Starting point is 00:40:17 Only one way to find out. Like a bunch of like, uh, Ben Hascom from Stephen King's it's just running around in a, uh, in the heart attack grill basement. Why, why are there Mitch clones? Yeah. Uh, well, uh, hey, we got a lot to discuss with movies and we'll get into it right after this break. We'll be back with more dough boys.
Starting point is 00:40:49 Welcome back to dough boys, our guest Eva Anderson, our chain movies, the Kevin Smith themed pop-up restaurant in West Hollywood, uh, movies meant as a McDonald's surrogate in the view of skewniverse. Yes. The slogan is I'm eating it. Not I'm loving it, but I'm eating it. Which feels like that must have been like a few movies into the, right? Like like that, like the clerks, of course, I mean, like, I don't know where movies came
Starting point is 00:41:18 up was, well, I mean, I'm loving it has been around for a while too. So maybe it just was, was a thing that was all settled by the time it happened. But as far as I know, movies was established in dogma. And then it was expanded. They ended up getting a job there. I think Jane Silent Bob get a job at movies and clerks too, I believe, and it's also referenced in Jane Silent Bob strike back, um, as well as clerks, the animated series. And we should, I should mention before we, uh, uh, we tear into this place and our experiences
Starting point is 00:41:48 there that some of the sales, uh, at least from the first week, we're going to South LA charities. So they, you know, they're doing something positive with this, uh, this pop-up Eva, are you a view of skewniverse fan at all? Are you, have you seen it and much of the Kevin Smith, uh, much of Kevin Smith's filmography or read much of his comics? Yeah. I had to spin.
Starting point is 00:42:07 I spun out a lot after this experience, but I was going back. I saw, I watched clerks so much in high school. It was like one of my favorite movies. Yeah. Me too. I loved it. It was so funny. And I loved, I, I, I liked mall rats.
Starting point is 00:42:23 I loved chasing Amy. And then I think dogma was the one that sort of the, the, it faded for me after dogma because dogma just took this new tone where I wasn't into it. And then I, uh, I fell off. I got, there's a bunch of his stuff I've never watched. I was going through the whole thing. You know, I never went to the smog castle on Santa Monica Boulevard and watched him do the smog cast.
Starting point is 00:42:47 I also never went to the smog cast lounge in the John Lovett's comedy club in city walk when he took over the second floor. Um, We, we, the dough boys performed, didn't we to perform at, do we perform at the John Lovett's lounge? No, we were, I think the birthday boys may have done something that John Lovett's lounge did it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:07 We were booked at the smog castle at some point and then it fell through. We ended up not doing that show. I don't remember why this was years ago. Is the smog castle now, do you guys know the Owl My Ribs comedy club? Yeah. I mean, it might be that it's, it's in that sort of that complex set of theaters. It's one of those. I'd like to think that it's in an actual castle personally, but actually I watched a post
Starting point is 00:43:34 movies. I actually watched some of Jay and Silent Bob reboot because it was, there were posters for it all over movies when I was there and I was like, Oh, I don't really know what these guys have been up to. And um, it really like spun me out where I was like, wait, was like, was he ever funny? And then I had to go back and watch some clerks clips and be like, Oh yeah. Like Jay was very, very funny and clerks, like legitimately so funny, but yeah, it's weird. Uh, I mean, I've had like from outside observed like all of his moves since then and you know,
Starting point is 00:44:10 the epic tweet and all the stuff, but I haven't been a fan of his for like a long time, I guess. Um, but I was very devoted for, for the early days. That tweet, Jesus, I guess I should just read it because, you know, not all of our listeners are active on social media. Some of them have better sense than that, um, but I'll dig this up real quick. But as I'm doing that, uh, Mitch, your, your thoughts on, your thoughts on Kevin Smith, the view, a skewniverse, uh, and have you seen any of the, of his more recent films?
Starting point is 00:44:43 You know, one of the last movies I watched with our dear departed friend, Harris Whittles was Tusk. That was one of the last movies I watched over at his house with him, uh, when it was kind of like the, uh, the phase of, of a lot of like different directors trying to do horror movies. And I think we, oh right. I think we all kind of thought that it sucked. Um, we were, we were not huge fans of Tusk.
Starting point is 00:45:08 Um, a lot of other kids were like big fans of Kevin Smith and I like never, and then like I remember renting like clerks and what was the other one? I don't know, like mall rats or something, like seeing those movies, but never, and you know what? Honestly, Eva, for me, I was probably right at the age where dogma came out when I was about 16. So that was like, that was like one of the first big ones I saw in like Kevin Smith was hyped up.
Starting point is 00:45:34 You know what I mean? Like that was what I remember being like going out of my way to get and being confused by it all. Um, but you know, he, he, he has his, Kevin Smith has his place. He's got a lot of fans. Definitely has his fan base for sure. You know, and I said that he had that milk diet. He also did a potato diet and he did have a heart attack.
Starting point is 00:45:56 So yes, I feel for him. I want him, I want him to, to pull through. He's, I don't know what type of director he, you know, like is, is, is, has the world passed him by as a director. Is that kind of old, you know, I don't, I don't know. He's, he's, he's, he's kind of a fascinating subject in a lot of ways. Yeah. I mean, I think he's, he is a, an, an amazing talker.
Starting point is 00:46:18 Like if you just sort of watch him just sort of like speak extemporaneously is like, oh, he's a very compelling speaker and I think an off the cuff funny guy. And I do, I like, like, like clerks really hit me at the, at kind of the perfect time. Yva, I think you and I are maybe the, this, the same age. Yeah. It kind of like came to me and I remember our friend, like we got our friend, we got our, our friend's dad, our cool, his cool dad, like rented it for us because it was like rated X for language.
Starting point is 00:46:48 It's like a very profane movie. And I remember just watching it and thinking it was the funniest thing in the world as a teenager, like just these guys just like talking before the, before the, like, like the internet was like, you know, as widespread and omnipresent, like people just cussing while talking about Star Wars was just something you would never encounter. Then then cut to 20 plus years later, 30 years later. And Kevin Smith is crying at the Force Awakens. But here's the Kevin Smith tweet that that would the aforementioned Kevin Smith tweet.
Starting point is 00:47:25 Ten years in and this was tweeted on July 9th, 2009. Ten years in and we bone like we're cheating on each other with each other. A decade plus and her clit brown taint area still pones my dick. Jesus Christ. It's one of the most violent things ever published. It's great. You never apologized for it, nor should he. No, it hasn't been deleted.
Starting point is 00:47:48 It's still up. That's God bless him. I think, yeah, that was interesting. Like clerks, A was rated X for language. B was in the Cannes Film Festival, like the year it came out, which is wild. Right. And also another thing I remember was like my first encounters with the web were in the my high school, like computer lab, basically,
Starting point is 00:48:11 because we just had Prodigy at home. I had Prodigy as well. Yeah, fuck Prodigy, the worst. But he had a very early, very funny website that was like someplace I would go all the time and read like his blog. And it was called View Askew. I think it was View Askew.com. Hence the verse.
Starting point is 00:48:30 And yeah, he understood like being able to like kind of take the Internet and fandom and manipulate it in a way that I feel like a lot of people at the time didn't. Right. Yeah, I mean, it's I also say another person who did that. And I remember looking at the at his website with my dad in the early days of dial up Internet was Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert. Yeah. Scott, Scott, the Dilbert website was like was like,
Starting point is 00:49:00 I don't know, is like well done, at least for the time or at least for my for my kid brain, which is very funny to think back to look back on now. And then think of like what the the Scott. I mean, I guess I just hope my dad doesn't know who Scott Adams is now because he loves Dilbert. But I think he'd be very upset by his politics. Does dog. Does dog Burt have good politics or? Yeah, dog Burt's OK.
Starting point is 00:49:24 I thought you're going to say that you left us. He'd see his his Scott Adams, incredible body and be like, just feel bad about his own dad body. And then it would make him sad. You just can't ever let him see like how jacked and like handsome Scott Adams is. Did dog, did dog bird ever show up on Epstein flight logs, wags or no? That was Catbird, actually. Wow. So.
Starting point is 00:49:50 Hey, by the way, Catbird, what? No, Catbird's the the the never do well. What are you going to say? Um, 1999, Dogma is released. That's movies. Mm hmm. Two thousand three, which is later than you think. But up up up up I'm loving it. Hmm. It comes out.
Starting point is 00:50:10 I don't know. Maybe I'm loving it was before. But up up up I'm loving it. But might have been. But no, I think that I think that so it was a late edition. And maybe maybe for for clerks, too, was that clerks, too, is when they work at movies, right? Yes, clerks, too. They had the the Jesus.
Starting point is 00:50:29 I can't even do what they're convenient stores. Yeah. So so the and speaking of their so their convenience store, the quick stop, which is what's represented in the movie clerks is we should say that in this inside this space, which was originally obviously meant to be a dine in experience pre-quarantine. And then they were just like, you know, fuck it, we're going to do it anyway with things locked down. And maybe they thought it would be over by now.
Starting point is 00:50:54 Honestly, that might have been their calculation. Like they might have been looking at when construction began in like February and been like, you know what? By I bet this will have all blown over by August. And here we are. So they have this this this very large space that's mostly vacant, but they have kind of done it up with a Kevin Smith installation. There is the quick stop storefront, which is the store the store they work at in
Starting point is 00:51:18 clerks, the original film. And then, yeah, in clerks, too, they get a job that that's gone and they get a job at movies. There are various mall rats, storefronts. There's fashionable male and popular girl. There's a very large mural of Bluntman and a another character from the the Bluntman universe, who I'm not familiar with. I don't know. Is it is a chronic chronic chronic?
Starting point is 00:51:39 Is that who it is? Is that chronic? Yeah, Bluntman and chronic is the comic that that Ben Affleck draws in Chasing Amy, which then becomes the thing that J. Unsullied Bob, they're they're like arguing about in J. Unsullied Bob reboot. It's yeah, Bluntman and chronic are their superhero identities. Got it. So so they've got so it's all this Kevin Smith sort of fan service inside
Starting point is 00:52:06 and a lot of available merchandise. And there's also the food. So I took your advice, Eva, and well, your advice actually was to was to get it delivered and not to go. But I was like, I have to see this thing for myself. So I ordered online and I I want to hear your I want you to tell everyone your experience, Eva, because my experience was I ordered online. You put a reservation for what time you're going to show up.
Starting point is 00:52:28 And as far as I can tell, their system is at least for me, they didn't start prepping the order until I was there in person, which I was surprised by. I expected it to be ready when I showed up. The ordering system is as the ordering system is as good as a modern day, Kevin Smith movie. Yeah, so I I had to do it earlier than you guys. So I actually went like a couple of weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:52:52 But I ordered on Talk LA, which is what you usually use to order. Like it's like where you make like fancy reservations for places where you need to like buy. It's like if you're going to a restaurant, you need to actually pay for your reservation in case you don't show up. You use talk. And so that's why I was so surprised when movies showed up on my talk email. I was like, oh, my God, like what the fuck is this?
Starting point is 00:53:14 And that's when I started bothering you guys. So basically, I ordered a time slot from like one to one thirty. I ordered all my food. I showed up a little before one. And and it was honestly like it was a weekday, but it was pretty packed. Like I was surprised by how many people were there at movies. And because it wasn't one o'clock yet and there were like a lot of people that were like Postmates drivers and stuff.
Starting point is 00:53:38 I kind of hung near the back by the end. You know, I had everyone was masking and being good. But I hung near the back and I just sort of waited to see if my name came up. I it never did after one thirty. I waited like a minute or two later. But everything honestly, everybody working there seemed really stressed out when I was there and I just didn't want to like it was a weird thing where I was just like, this sucks.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Like everyone there, they were they seemed understaffed and just like overworked in a way one hundred percent. Yeah. And so I finally went up at like one forty, one thirty ish and asked the guy at the front like when my order was coming out. And he said, I never place an order. So then I had to like pull up my receipt on my phone in which case he looked at and he was like, OK, and he put my order in then. And then it was another like 20 minutes.
Starting point is 00:54:35 So I was at movies for almost an hour. I'm just waiting for my food. And yes, and I and I was like, you know, trying to be responsible. I don't go to like sit down restaurants in quarantine. So I was like kind of just standing in the back, like socially distancing with a mask on. But still, I was like, man, this is the longest I've spent in the way before that in a close space. Yeah, luckily, the whole the whole front was open
Starting point is 00:54:59 so you could stand by like that outside. So I was just standing by the door and but it was more just like, oh, man, this whole system is just set up for like these for these employees to fail at because if they don't know these orders are coming in, like, how are they supposed to do this? Like does every postmates driver have to like tell them to make the food? Or yeah, everything's late. Like it was it was wild.
Starting point is 00:55:24 It was I did a similar experience where and they at least brought up my order when I showed up there and gave my name. They like brought they were like, OK, we have your order here. We'll get that started for you. I was like, yeah, but I was still I was still surprised by their that their system is we'll wait for you to get there in person. Then we're going to start prepping your order, whatever. Fine. That's that's that's of the employees are not the ones deciding that.
Starting point is 00:55:46 But that's just how the system works. But like you were saying, I think it seems set up for them to fail. It seems it's just like they seemed understaffed. They seem like they like to take your point. Like they seemed like they just didn't have enough people to execute the vision. And maybe that's because they were like, well, we're going to do so much less business without dying in that we're going to have to cut costs somehow. And of course, they end up cutting labor.
Starting point is 00:56:08 But Mitch, what was your experience picking up the food? Because I also was that was waiting there for almost an hour for my order. My experience was I did not wait nearly as long as as you guys did. I got in there and the guy immediately kind of was like, what's your name? You know, there were two other people in there waiting. The best way for me to describe it is like, you know, like. If a frat house on a college campus like gets shut down for being too fucked up
Starting point is 00:56:34 and then like, yeah, then like you walked in there as they were like moving stuff out. It was just like a sticky floor. Yeah. And like houses crossed me for the last time. So it's like these like novelty posters and like these like kind of like football chairs that have movie on them. Yeah. In the corner, like up against the glass. So you can't really sit in them and then like tables on top of each other in another corner and it looks like fucking just like you're moving shit out
Starting point is 00:57:07 and then the floor is sticky and it looks like it's supposed to have like some sort of party atmosphere, but it's just like this fucking deserted frat house and it was kind of a bummer. You know, they were like, feel free to like walk around and take photos or whatever. I was like, okay, sure. And there was like, you know, three things to take photos of and look, you know, like Kevin, given Kevin Smith a hard time, he's made good stuff. He's made fun stuff. I don't dislike Kevin Smith.
Starting point is 00:57:38 And I certainly as fans and I don't and I don't dislike trying to make a pop up that's that's fun for people. It was just as that sort of thing of like, this was just like, you know, there was like the, was it was it a cocksmokers? Is that? Yeah, I had it right here. It's the cocksmoker. So that's, yeah, sorry. Coming. Yeah, the cocksmoker chicken sandwich coming soon to you. M.M.I.N.G. soon. Yeah, which is good. They had signs for that. It was very funny.
Starting point is 00:58:07 But all yeah, all that stuff was like there. Yeah, there was just a few. It was just like a few posters, you know, like there was nothing. There was nothing truly interactive about the experience, I guess. It was just like, yeah, I'm in this kind of like shitty sticky place and I can take a few pictures of like the thing that says the what was the big sign that says like we're not open or whatever we're open. I sure you were open.
Starting point is 00:58:33 Yeah, which now looks like a last of us to sign over like a close thing. It's like really miserable in this. I know it's from the movie, but I was like, oh, like it really feels like the end of the world. You're in like, yeah, it it it. It felt it felt it felt it felt as much like a walking dead pop up as it did a fucking race pop up. Yeah, it does have that apocalyptic feeling. And I guess the way, you know, obviously, I'm sure the bulk of our
Starting point is 00:59:03 listenership, the overwhelming majority of our listenership did not go to movies, did not experience this. But the way I would think of it is like, imagine going to like a Chuck E. Cheese or a David Buster's, but then they have like, you know, all the animatronics are shut down. All the arcade machines are pushed to the walls and like turned away from you so you can't play any of them. It's just it just feels very and but there are people still working.
Starting point is 00:59:27 It just feels very deserted and strange. And it's just an odd fit for our current situation. But let's get into the food. So, you know, obviously, the ordering system was a little bit chaotic. The whole, you know, immersive side of things is very strange. And then the food. So I got the cocksmoker sandwich, the aforementioned cocksmoker sandwich, which is a breaded chicken chicken sandwich on a bun with house law and hot sauce.
Starting point is 00:59:54 I can't. The combo came with heater tots, which are just tater tots with a different name. And I got a Sierra Mist in a movies cup. All this for $30, $30 for a chicken sandwich, tots and a drink. That's outrageous. That was so much I could not believe how much money that cost. Like even if you go to a gastropub and you dine in $30 for a sandwich, a side and a drink, that's a lot.
Starting point is 01:00:27 It's a lot of money. Did you notice that there was a, at least when I was there, there was like a Letterman's jacket for sale that cost $125 that a movie's logo on it. Wow. I can send it to you guys to post if you want. I took pictures of it. That's insane. A hundred and twenty five dollars.
Starting point is 01:00:44 A movie's diet Pepsi, which I got, I got a movie's diet Pepsi. Five dollars for a cup that is like smaller than a can, five dollars. Yeah, it's like a, it's like an eight ounce, eight or 12 ounce cup. And also they were filling it out of a two liter bottle of Pepsi. You saw that, right? Not even a fountain drink. It was a fountain drink. They would actually just open a two liter and pour it in because they didn't have
Starting point is 01:01:10 fountain drink capabilities. This is not the fault of the people that work there, by the way. No, not at all. I thought everyone who worked there, you know, again, if I didn't say this, everyone who worked there was, was very pleasant and very nice. And it just was, it just is, is like it seemed, I felt like I was being ripped off by how much I was being charged. The $30 thing on top of that is, that doesn't even come with a drink.
Starting point is 01:01:32 Why is it just the, it's just the sandwich and a, and a, and a side from what I saw, unless I got fucked up. I'll have to re, I'll have to recheck my itemized receipt. I believe, I thought a drink was included, but if not, that's even more outrageous and you can upgrade to an alcoholic beverage, which I did not do as I was, I was behind the wheel. And then there are the other side available, which I got for an additional charge is the onion rings to rule them all, which were just pretty under
Starting point is 01:01:59 seasoned onion rings. And I also got a cow pie brownie, which was a brownie in an aluminum tin. And I believe it was eight dollars. What did you, what, what's the rundown on what you guys got? Mitch, go ahead. So I got the, I got the, uh, movie's interactive meal pick, which is just funny because, you know, how interactive the interactiveness of it was going inside the fucking restaurant that you don't want to go into that is like
Starting point is 01:02:28 this old fucking frat house, like I said. Right. Um, I got the cow tipper, uh, which is the burger, which is three patties. And it kind of, it comes with like cheese, pickles. It's three patties with cheese, pickles, onions, and like, uh, mustard, and then like another sauce, like kind of a, um, uh, a thousand islands. It's kind of sauce, but honestly, that burger was the best thing I had of the, of the whole thing, but still besides that, just not worth it.
Starting point is 01:03:04 We'll get, I'll get into it, but I got Hater tots with that. Nick, I also got onion rings to rule them all as a side. Um, I got a movie's diet Pepsi, which was $5 and small as hell. And then I got a fill the cup, which is a spiked Capri sun pouch. I got the lemonade version. Um, and it comes in this actual big kind of big pouch. Yes. Uh, like it, it does look like a giant Capri sun.
Starting point is 01:03:30 I hated this. Eva, I know you got this too, but I did not like, I thought it tasted like shit. Uh, I got a cow pie brownie, which is gross. You know, it's a cow, you know, it's a cow shit. Basically is what the joke is. And then on top of that, I got something, which I've been wearing the whole time and no one has noticed a movie's social distancing t-shirt for 30, for $30. Wow.
Starting point is 01:03:55 Oh, wow. It's, I thought it was $10. It was $30. I also have a movies background on right now. I've been wearing this shirt, the whole record. Um, I'm proud of you. That's going to be fun for some kid to find at Goodwill. Or on my color on you, on my dead body.
Starting point is 01:04:19 Movies on the t-shirt, it says it's funny that they labeled us a movie social distancing t-shirt on the, on the, the collar of the t-shirt. It says Jay and Silent Bob reboot. So this is just for, this is merchandise they made for the movie. That's just like leftover stock inventory. Right. They, they didn't, they didn't, they didn't make a new t-shirt for this shit. Um, we should do, maybe we should do a dough boys pop up so we can unload
Starting point is 01:04:45 some of those leftover feast coast tour shirts we printed the smalls. Yeah. So leftover shirts for $30 is audacious. It's insane. I love it. Dollars insane. The, the highlights for me, and these are, these are, I mean, these are low lights, even if they're my highlights, the kai, the cow, the cow pie brownie.
Starting point is 01:05:11 And that burger, you know, the onion rings and the tater tots, they tasted stale. It was like, it tastes like old product. Yeah. It tastes like old stale product. It was insane. Like freshly fried, when you get there and the staff was nice, but it just like, just biting into that.
Starting point is 01:05:30 I was like, this tastes like fucking old. It tastes like it's a day old. It sucked. Right. Yeah. For the amount they were charging, you'd expect it to be plus up a little bit. Evo, what's, so what's the rundown of everything you got? Cause I, you mentioned the breakfast sandwich earlier.
Starting point is 01:05:43 Yeah. I got the egg a movie muffin, which is their like version of a, uh, an egg McMuffin with a, uh, with hater tots. And I also got a fill the cup spikes Capri punch. I, um, yeah. And that's, I got that at the point at which I 30 minutes in asked for my food cause I realized, uh, I was trapped and then I drink it waiting for my food to come out and sort of like started to spiral.
Starting point is 01:06:13 Um, one, oh, two things I just wanted to point out. One is that, uh, cause Ken and Smith went vegan after his heart attack and lost a bunch of weight. They do have a bunch of vegan options here, which was one thing I found very, uh, very interesting and also good for him. Um, they have a vegan cow tip or they have a vegan breakfast sandwich and they have something called a lasagna meat, messy vegan lasagna sandwich. So, and they also have vegan desserts.
Starting point is 01:06:37 Cheers. Um, uh, uh, yeah. Yeah. When I was like drinking my weird Capri son and like looking at the sad place and, um, I just started being like, Oh, I, I started feeling bad that I asked you guys to go to this place cause I needed to like fill this like feeling of being in an immersive environment. And now you were going to come here and have a bad time.
Starting point is 01:07:00 And I was like, Oh, this is something I do like every few months. I get all hyped up on like having an adventure. And then I suddenly find myself like in a terrible situation and be like, why did I do this? And like back in when I was hardcore, like doing immersive theater, I'd be like in the desert and like a naked guy in a giraffe mask is strangling me. And I'm like, Oh, I sure stepped in at this time or, but now it's like this. And it's just even sadder.
Starting point is 01:07:22 And like it's pandemic and like these people have to work here. It sucks. And I felt really, really bad. I got really sad. And then I got my, you took me to a, um, an interactive like play haunted house. And I forget what, uh, it was, do you remember what it was called? It was, uh, I don't remember. It, we went into the house and then like, uh, someone fell from the ceiling.
Starting point is 01:07:44 It was, it was pretty terrifying. It was, uh, was it, um, deal Patrick Harris? Yes. Delusion. Yes. That was great. That's a good one. I had a lot of fun doing that.
Starting point is 01:07:53 It was great. So sometimes it's not, I heard about some of the more extreme ones you went to. And it sounds, some of them sound insane. Yeah. Well, I just, I think I was just really thirsty for like just something's really stupid, but then once I was there, I was like, realized like doing something stupid in this, uh, climate is, uh, uh, immoral, um, I will say this, I think that I would rather go to the giraffe man strangling me thing than go back to movies.
Starting point is 01:08:21 I, I, I, I'm in the, I'm on the fence. Um, yeah, I kind of equipment. This giraffe guy is working with, but so basically I got my egg sandwich. It was like disgusting. It was one of the worst egg sandwiches ever. I mean, my hater tots were like fine. I can't turn down like a freshly fried tater tot. I grew up like eating, um, taco time up in Washington state and their
Starting point is 01:08:50 Mexi fries are just like fresh tater tots. And I'm fine with that. Um, and I thought that actually the drink was pretty good. Um, I also got an IPA that I took home and drink last night, um, which was totally fine, just some local brewery got relabeled. Um, but I left like feeling bad and, um, guilty, uh, and that was my experience. Yeah. I will say that about my, my food, the food that evaluating it at just like as
Starting point is 01:09:19 food, the cox smoker sandwich, I just thought was like fine. It was, you know, I definitely not worth the price. Um, but I mean, like I'd rather give me the, I'd rather have a Popeye's chicken sandwich or a Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich over this one. I mean, I thought, I thought it was, if anything was over-sauced without the slaw and the hot sauce, it felt like it was just like a little too moist. Um, the hater tots, yeah, replacement level tots, the onion rings to rule them all.
Starting point is 01:09:44 So the first couple I, I ate, I was like, we're just batter. It was just rings of batter with no onion inside. And, and I was like, wait, is this what these are supposed to be? Are these just, are these like, like onionless onion rings? Is that like the gimmick of it? But then I just started going like, oh no, I just got a couple of badly, uh, you know, a couple of mistakes, uh, but just the, the, the lack of seasoning. And then the breading was just- Who, who was that before?
Starting point is 01:10:05 The ultimate vegetarian? No onion in my onion ring? Well, that's kind of, I mean, like are funyons actually onions? I, I don't know. I mean, like it kind of, cause it kind of had a, like a fresh onion character to it. So I was like, oh, maybe this is like their take on a funion. But no, they were just, they were just badly made onion rings. Um, but yeah, and the, and the breading I felt like was just kind of, you
Starting point is 01:10:24 know, just crispy and, and didn't add much else to it. Uh, the, uh, the serum is, as we, we talked about the, uh, how, how ridiculous it is to charge that much for, uh, a cup of two liter soda. Um, and the cow pie brownie, I will say, I thought was legitimately good. I thought it was a good brownie. Nice dessert. It comes in a tin. It's a, it's substantial.
Starting point is 01:10:44 That one, you know, it costs a lot, but you're not just getting a little, you know, a little tiny, like a, a normal sized brownie. You're getting a big boy. So I thought I felt like that one was, was a highlight or maybe the highlight of my dining experience. I went here after failing to go to the doctors, by the way. Um, ties back into that. Um, were you trying to commit suicide?
Starting point is 01:11:09 Also the doctor world. That, the, the, the, the cow pie brownie for me was, I, it was one of the better things, but it was the consistency of it was like, I don't know if this is like baked all the way through or what the deal is with this thing, but it wasn't, and, and, and you kind of had to like pull it up out of the tin and it was kind of sticking to the tin. It was, look, it was still, it was, it was definitely one of the best things that there was.
Starting point is 01:11:36 Um, I will say that in the order confirmation, it says snooze in the email you get, it says snoozey booties. So there is some fun being had. Yeah, that's fun. The top of the email says snoozey booties on all the tables outside. It also says like keep social distance, snoozey booties or something like that. Yeah. And there is a chair that shaped like that's got like the Kevin Smith
Starting point is 01:11:59 hockey jersey, like painted onto it. Um, so that's fun. I, I will, I, I took, I took, I didn't eat my stuff there because I was just like, I was so freaked out by all of it. I took everything out outside and like photographed it on the table and then put it away and then went and ate in my car. Uh, but the, um, the, the brownie to your, the brownie to your point, bitch, he's, he's creeping out.
Starting point is 01:12:24 I don't think it's creepy to eat a meal in your car and your parked car. Sometimes that's what you got to do. No, no, I, I, I, I agree. Are you eight as soon as you got it? I was just trying to do the, the, the NBA jam thing. Um, I know what you were trying to do. Um, NBA jam, that would be a good pop up different jams. I'd be into that.
Starting point is 01:12:44 Is this some Chris Mullen I'm detecting? Wags up. Squirrel jam. There you go. Oh, I'll give a scrape off the, scrape off the mold flavored like Robert Parish. Uh, so the, I am Robert Parish is not moldy. I wasn't a shot at Robert Parish, um, although I don't like the Celtics. I, but I will say that the, the brownie, so they forgot my brownie.
Starting point is 01:13:11 I went, I went and photographed everything. And that's when I noticed the brownie was absent. I went back in there. Excuse me. You forgot my cow pie brownie. I, you know, again, I felt bad about every part of it. Uh, but the, but they went in and they were like, Oh yeah, sure. Sure.
Starting point is 01:13:24 Sorry. And they went and got what, and I literally saw them just pull the tin out of a drawer. Of course. So it was, I think just sitting like pre-made and sitting room temp or in a warming drawer, um, and, uh, you know, that it's, it's not like anything's really, at least most of the order didn't seem like it was made to order. And had chocolate chips in it, which, which is what helped it is, is, is, but I, I said to, I said to you and Eva, I sent you a text and I said, look, I've ordered
Starting point is 01:13:51 so much food and looked like a big fatty and have, you know, gotten so much stuff at so many restaurants and been embarrassed going places. This is by far the most embarrassed I've ever been while reviewing a restaurant. I was embarrassed to walk in there. I was embarrassed to walk out. I walked by a family on the way out with bags of movies and I was just like, I just feel like I had this T-shirt around my neck. I just felt like a piece of shit.
Starting point is 01:14:16 And I didn't want anyone in the world to see me. Like if Kevin Smith saw me, I'd be embarrassed. It was, it was, it was fucking awful. Yeah. Very embarrassing. We should get to our final thoughts on movies. So we'll each go around, give a summation of our experience, of our review, and then end by giving it a rating from zero to five forks.
Starting point is 01:14:40 Eva, we'll begin with you. I mean, I guess God bless the desire to inject some fun into this dark timeline. I don't, I don't think it was wrong to make movies. I, like I said, I felt bad for the people who were working under these conditions because they weren't ideal. Um, and I think it's probably a frustrating place to work. Did not care for the food. And I just kept thinking about, is there like a better way to do this the whole
Starting point is 01:15:15 time? Cause this isn't the way. Um, but I appreciate having something to do. That's true. Like to break up the day, which is immoral that it, but also I just can't help it, like something to do. So I'm going to talk about, take a picture of a weird thing, send it to your friends, be like, I left my house one star, one fork.
Starting point is 01:15:45 Wow. One fork for movies. Go ahead, Mitch. You know, I was so hungry when I picked up movies and then movies just sucked. Like, like it gave me nothing. I think any pop-up, you can, there's plenty of good business pop-ups you could do. You know, it's so many, there's plenty. You know what's a good idea?
Starting point is 01:16:07 We got an NBA Jam idea from earlier. NBA Jam idea. You know what's a good idea? Yeah. An umbrella salesman in Transylvania. That's fun. Why? He's heating up.
Starting point is 01:16:21 Oh, shit. Never I said it. I spoke too soon. Wait. Umbrella is the rain? Cause Umbrella hates the rain? No, maybe not. Maybe I don't understand it now.
Starting point is 01:16:35 I thought I did. A parasol. Okay. That is what you meant. Umbrellas are for rain. Well, you know what? You could sell both. Okay.
Starting point is 01:16:48 You could have parasol. I was so hungry like Dracula. I was, I was, I was starved. I wanted to sink my teeth into a juicy burger, Nick. Yeah. And it fucking, the burger was the best thing I had and it sucked. And it was the opposite feeling I had of when I bit into Bonchon. Just a, just a week ago.
Starting point is 01:17:14 When I was so hungry and I bit into Bonchon and I loved it. The sixth fork that we gave. And you know what? You know, that stale shit that pop-up was just depressing and shouldn't exist. It is the type of place that makes me lose faith in humanity. But like Eva said, it is fun to talk about. I mean, we had fun to go and do it. The big pouch, the Capri Sun, the adult Capri Sun is a good idea.
Starting point is 01:17:43 There were bites that were good, but I think that if you're going to do a pop-up, it should be good food. If you're spending $30. $30. $30. It's got to be good food. You know, and just like I made a special, a special exception for Bonchon, I'm going to make one for movies, too.
Starting point is 01:18:02 Negative one fork. Wow. Unprecedented in Doughboy's lore. Negative one fork. Carrows also joins negative one fork club. Wow. Negative chains in the negative numbers. It sucks.
Starting point is 01:18:19 Wow. I mean, it sucks, right? Yeah, I mean, I thought it was really bad. I really, I will say, you know, again, empathy for the people who had to work there. Seems like their system was all busted, but that wasn't their fault. I do think that the effort at trying to make it kind of an installation, given the circumstances, like I like, you know, the quick stop storefront, like that stuff existing, I thought was like, well, OK, they took a shot at it.
Starting point is 01:18:49 So that's positive. And the cow pie brownie was actually pretty good. Everything else was OK to bad, way, way too expensive. $30. I can't get over it for a combo. $30. 30 bucks. If this was $15, I'd say it was too expensive.
Starting point is 01:19:09 This is a drop waiting to happen. Somebody do it. But I will say that so the the the the redeeming aspects of I feel like it kind of, you know, if you were a Kevin Smith fan, because there were definitely some Kevin Smith fans I saw there who were having like, you know, we're having a good time. And so I think if you were a Kevin Smith man, the fan service probably paid off as much as it could, given the circumstances. So that's in its favor.
Starting point is 01:19:39 And the cow pie brownie was actually pretty decent. So I'm not going to go zero forks. I'm going to say two times a half fork. Wow. That's my rating for movies. One of the worst rated chains, I think, in Doe Boy's history. The price killed it. Yeah, the price is the price is just way, way too much.
Starting point is 01:19:58 The price is ridiculous. Way too. Wait, if you had if they had not called it a cow pie brownie, but it called it a clipped brown taint area, brownie. I would have gone one fork for that. Yeah, they put that on the menu. We'd be back there. A cocksmoker sandwich.
Starting point is 01:20:15 You'd be back there today, Wags. So would Kevin Smith. He'd be in line. Hey, that was our review of movies that Kevin Smith themed pop up. It's time for a segment. Mitch has a food stuff. He's going to taste test and offer his verdict. It's another edition of Spoon Man's treat or skeet.
Starting point is 01:20:36 What do you got, Spoon Man? Well, Wags, friend of the podcast, Samantha, the producer for the Tomorrow War. Wow. Who we've had on a couple of times now. She gave me a bunch of snacks from Iceland when Tomorrow War went over and filmed in Iceland for a little bit. I went there two years ago and they have weird snacks. And yeah, she got I got I got I got four different things here.
Starting point is 01:21:03 Cool. I think that these are I maybe want to try the one that is going to be the that looks the that looks the worst first. Maybe that's a bad idea. Oh, so I got I got to take down my movies background. Yeah, Mitch has a movie's background in his zoom window, which he is disabling so that it does not interfere with the snacks that he has. So this one, this one called Opal, and this is or I mean, I think I'm saying
Starting point is 01:21:32 correctly, Opal Opal, it says Risa Opal. It's it looks like this is licorice. Hmm. And I so I hear in Iceland licorice is licorice is is one of their faves. They like to eat the licorice, Wags. Yeah, chocolate bars have licorice in them there. Wow. Wow.
Starting point is 01:21:53 That sounds vile. There is something chocolate I'm going to use. So these are just like dots. These are these are these are this is black licorice. This is this is the real deal here. I yeah, Jesus. I'm not a huge fan of black licorice. How do you feel, Wags?
Starting point is 01:22:07 I'm not. I mean, I'm not as into it. I know some people love it. Eva favorite candy. Are you serious? Yeah, I love black licorice. Wow. I can't handle the super salty salted black licorice, but a medium
Starting point is 01:22:21 salted black licorice is like one of my favorite things. Wow. These are like little like like a little gummy tabs with a little boat on it in the water. Yeah. I'm going to dig in Wags. Let's see how it is. It looks intense.
Starting point is 01:22:36 It's intense. Is it salty? It's salty. Yeah. You know what? It it. Oh, it is intense. It's not bad.
Starting point is 01:22:45 Holy shit. When you held it up, it looked like like pure uncut licorice. Yeah. Like this is like the fentanyl of liquid licorice. Oh my God. Your face. Mitch's wincing. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:22:58 Oh my God. Samantha, what the fuck? Oh my God. It almost publicly scolds someone for getting you a gift. It tastes almost like. It's a salty inside. It's like it's so so it tastes it tastes almost like. What's the word I'm looking for?
Starting point is 01:23:23 Why it's like a like a bad like a like is it like a a whatever head, like a sour candy, but with salt. It's almost like I want to say that it's like it tastes like meat or something. And that's that's like a savory taste or something that it's so like weird. It's so. Oh my God. It's so overwhelming. My eyes are that's a nerving.
Starting point is 01:23:48 Oh, shit. Wow. Oh my God. I can't believe that the that the aftertaste is lingering this much. Oh, it sucks. This sucks. Wow, that seems like a that seems like a pretty hard whack right there. Oh, that's the hardest whack or I'm sorry, a skeet rather.
Starting point is 01:24:08 Well, toss it in the air and blow it away. All right, so that's a that's a skeet. God, are you OK? Get a water. Go get a water. God. Those are vile. Jesus.
Starting point is 01:24:29 Jesus. They get worse as they it was like a fucking torture. That was that's fucking disgusting. I at first thought it was kind of good. Yeah. Fuck. All right. Well, it's done.
Starting point is 01:24:44 Next, I got a candy hot dog, Nick. Oh, you're going to go in for a for round two. You're going to try something else. Yeah. So this hot dogs are very popular in Iceland. They have one very famous hot dog stand in the middle of Reykjavik with lamb hot dogs, half a lamb, half. Yeah, sounds good.
Starting point is 01:25:01 Well, I got a I got a gummy version here. And why is your I know that you're. Are you are your gummy skeptic? Yeah, as far as I'm concerned, gummy ain't yummy. But you know, some people love the stuff. It's like it's like licorice. Eva, I mean, I assume is you like licorice. You probably like a gummy texture.
Starting point is 01:25:19 I like a I'm I'm like ambivalent. I like a good like Swedish gummy. But otherwise, I'm I'm probably leave it. And Mitch, you're a big time gummy guy. I'm a gummy guy. This has four candy hot dogs, 10 times sweet candy buns, four times candy pickles and two times red and yellow candy sauce. I kind of want to just eat it like a hot dog.
Starting point is 01:25:42 But I guess you got to kind of take the pieces apart here. So it's all the various components that would be on a hot dog package like a hot dog, but you eat them individually. Yeah, Chicago dog specifically, I guess. Wow. So I'm got that neon relish. It's got the pickle spear. I like that neon relish.
Starting point is 01:25:59 It's got the tomato slice. It's got the sport pepper. All right, I'm eating the celery salt. Anything else? The poppy seed bun. I'm taking a bite of the bun right now. Oh, this is way better. Oh, thank God.
Starting point is 01:26:17 Wow. Does it just taste like a regular gummy? It's gummy. It's a little bit, the texture is a little bit harder. I don't know. I mean, it's been sitting for a few months. Maybe that's the part of it. It's not as fresh.
Starting point is 01:26:32 But each of the gummies have a little different taste. I also have similarly, I have a candy taco I'm going to open up here. So this is the, this is the third item, the candy taco. So it seems like maybe a snack for the candy, for the, I'm going on snack. Gummy hot dog. Eva, why are there not, how come? Well, I guess it's a question for everybody. Why are there not like a big hot dog spots here?
Starting point is 01:26:56 Why don't we have, I mean, Wiener-Snitzel, I guess is. Well, we reviewed Doghouse recently, we had a great time, great time at Doghouse. We have the famous pinks. Uh, pinks, yeah, pinks is the, the, the stand. I, you know, we also reviewed pinks and we didn't have, we didn't have a great time at pinks. Doghouse is as a chain though. It's like, it's more of an upscale sort of beer garden concept, but it is, it is
Starting point is 01:27:18 very good. I, Wiener-Snitzel is the big one. I mean, like the culture, like late at night, they go and hit the hot dog stand. I think that's fun. Well, we have them, they're just like LA street dogs. They're bacon wrapped hot dogs that you get from some lady just cooking them outside, like the club you were just at.
Starting point is 01:27:34 Yeah. You get them off, you get them off a cart. They are really, really good. You got a big fried chili pepper on there. Oh, that's so delicious. So here's a, here's the taco gummy kind of a side view. Nice. I'm just holding it up for the camera.
Starting point is 01:27:48 It's huge. Yeah. It looks like an oversized tortilla. It looks more burrito sized. There's like, there's a lot softer gummies in here, which will be easy for me, but there's actually in the taco, there's like a gummy bear. Hmm. I'm gonna sign that unnerving.
Starting point is 01:28:02 There's like gummy, there's like gummy fruits. There's like a tomato and raspberry. This is also very good. Enough with the food that looks like other food. Oh, what? What, what's the problem? I don't need a cake that looks like a turkey leg. Get that out of here.
Starting point is 01:28:19 Why not? Make it look like the thing it is. Why are you just... It's confusing. You're freaked out? Yeah, I'm freaked out. You know, to, to Chris Angel was mentioned earlier, I'm having a mind freak. Just see that stuff, I'm flat out mind freaked.
Starting point is 01:28:36 Those are both snacks. The gummies, look, both gummies, they do some good gummies over there in Iceland. Except for that fucking, that opal. Holy shit. Oh, I still fucking... The last is this Prince Polo bar, XXL Prince Polo. Sorry, I think I accidentally spoiled what might be happening with this. Oh, oh, oh, no, really?
Starting point is 01:29:00 Maybe. Oh, wow. If it's like most of the chocolate I got there. Oh, Jesus Christ. I was in heaven. This is a large bar that Mitch held up. My t-shirt size. XXL Prince Polo.
Starting point is 01:29:15 Maybe I'm a Prince Polo. Here we go. You're my Prince Polo. Thank you, Eva. That's nice. It looks, this looks good. I'm very nervous now that Eva said this. But here I go.
Starting point is 01:29:27 Gonna take a bite of this. It looks like a, it looks like a chocolate covered wafer. It looks like a wafer, some sort of wafer bar. Here we go. Mitch is chomping the chocolate. He is chewing near the microphone. We'll soon know what he thinks. This is.
Starting point is 01:29:50 Fantastic wigs. It's delicious. I love it. Eva, you're right. It does, it does taste a little different. And I think I get what you're saying. Don't have a licorice in it though. Like there's not chunks of licorice in it.
Starting point is 01:30:01 I don't have, I have not hit a chunk of licorice. I took a pretty big bite. This, this bar, this is, this bar is delicious. What, what is it? What does it most resemble as far as like a stateside candy? Hmm. Kit Kat-esque, but it's like a, it almost tastes like a fancier Kit Kat. I like it, I like it quite a bit.
Starting point is 01:30:18 It's really, really good. A fancier Kit Kat. Wow. Well, there you go. Three snacks, one whack. Hey, that's a, that's a Doe Boys afternoon. We eat three snacks and then we, and then we whack. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:32 Uh, I'm sorry, three, three treats, three treats, one skeet. All right. So it's still like a Doe Boys afternoon. Yeah. Thank you, Samantha. This is all from Iceland. You brought it back for the show. I think you agree.
Starting point is 01:30:43 Thanks, Samantha. I think you said that you liked this, this, uh, Prince. What's his name? I already forgot. Polo. Prince Polo, this, this, this bar, this is, this is fantastic. Uh, I'm mad at you though, because I tried those opals. Those tastes like shit.
Starting point is 01:30:56 And, uh, they should be thrown into hell. Wow. For, uh, Cyberus. What's his name? Cerberus. Cerberus. A three-headed dog? Cyberus.
Starting point is 01:31:07 I'm getting two, it's, I'm getting two into the 2000s over here. Cyberus is. Cyberus would be like a, would like be like a cool boss in a new Doom game. Ha, ha, ha. It's a robot dog with three heads. Uh, hey. Three good stacks though. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:22 Thank you. That's pretty good. Just like a restaurant, I've got your feedback. Let's open up the feedback. Today's email comes from Josh. Josh writes, have you ever experienced a crime at a fast food restaurant? I've been to a Taco Bell in a McDonald's and the immediate aftermath of some nonsense where there was a bunch of cops, but also one time when I was 13, I was
Starting point is 01:31:41 outside of a KFC Taco Bell and saw some guys beat the shit out of this dude and step on his head and basically curb him without a curb and drive away. And I called 911. Whoa. Dear Nick, I'm currently dealing with an L five S one injury and it sucks. Please lie about how much better it gets. I will say this is a, I did both physical therapy and yoga and stretching and, and strength training and strengthen my core and my L five S one injury is much
Starting point is 01:32:06 better these days. So yeah, I can keep hope alive. Josh and he also writes, dear Mitch, our moms and sisters both have the same name, though my mom spells it differently. Now that I've humanized myself for the coastal elite, I won the rogue one character contest and you keep clowning me to death over it. Where is my prize? Please, Mitch, we never paid off the rogue one character contest.
Starting point is 01:32:27 He's full of shit. Wow. I don't even believe that he has a sister and a mom named Courtney and Kareen anymore. Wow. You think, you think it's all a lie. But I mean, like that, you know, the, the, the question is harrowing. I just thought that the anecdote was, was wild.
Starting point is 01:32:45 I don't know if I've ever witnessed a, uh, I mean, I don't know if I've ever witnessed a crime. I mean, I would have remembered witnessing a crime at a fast food restaurant. Um, or being a, a round in the immediate aftermath. I feel like I've been, yeah, I don't know. Nothing, nothing immediately comes to mind. Either of you have stories. No.
Starting point is 01:33:07 I guess it's pretty specific. I've done, I'm sorry, I'm still eating this. I once caught a woman, like I saw a woman trying to pass off a fake prescription at a drug store. Hmm. That was it. That's a bummer. That's as close as I have.
Starting point is 01:33:23 Yeah. I mean, I saw a guy steal a bottle of wine, try to steal a bottle of wine from a grocery store and the manager is like, Hey man, Hey, and then he came over and he just took the wine away. He's like, all right, now you got to leave the store, which I was like, Oh, that's like the best way I've ever seen that situation happen. That situation handled the guy was just like very nice and was not like, I'm going to call the cops on you or whatever.
Starting point is 01:33:44 When I, when I was, when I was, when I was like 16, they put a scally cap on me and, uh, assumption college where my sister went to a sweatshirt that said assumption college and my friends told me to go into liquor store and buy booze. Wow. And, uh, so I was, I guess I committed the crime, but, uh, but that's not a fast food place, but I was just, I was, I looked old enough and shitty enough. I wasn't questioned. Wow.
Starting point is 01:34:12 They just didn't care. Um, I looked like, I guess I just looked enough like shit. Um, well, you know, I used to hang out at that Burger King lags when I was, when I was growing up, that Burger King seven, 11, and I know that a guy got thrown through the Burger King window, like during a fight. I saw that, I saw that happen. That's cool. You saw that happen or?
Starting point is 01:34:38 Yeah, I saw that happen. Yeah. You saw the guy go through a sale through a plate glass window, like in a movie. Yeah. You did. You witnessed that first hand. Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 01:34:49 That's unbelievable. How we never heard this before. Well, because it's kind of like a scummy story. We were all like, it was all a bunch of shitty teens fighting each other. Oh, got it. Did you throw the man, Mitch, did you throw the man? No. This, this might have been the time where I escaped and was in the car with all
Starting point is 01:35:10 the bad guys. I've told that story before. Oh, wow. That's part of the incident. You got in the wrong car. I got in the wrong, any time there was a fight, I was running and hiding. I'm a coward. Wow.
Starting point is 01:35:24 Um, I do remember it through a plate through a, through a big window. What an amazing thing to witness. The only thing I think of is that's analogous. I did have a, my friend worked in a movie theater and said that they caught a dude, uh, like pounding off in the front row and the movie he was watching, like they had to call the cops on this guy who was beating off in the front row in the crowded theater. Um, but the movie he was watching was Les Miserables.
Starting point is 01:36:01 There's no way that, there's no way this, there's no way this wasn't you. And call him Hugh Jackman for nothing.

Um, I don't have anything, but I would like to plug a, a two services. I've been enjoying in quarantine, uh, both alcohol related. Um, if you're in the LA area, fancy free liquor, uh, does, uh, deliveries of, uh, cocktail kits, uh, for, uh, with really amazing ice and they have all these really cool kits, they'll deliver it to your house, incredible. Um, and then if you are on the West coast, I really am enjoying spirit guides,
Starting point is 01:36:58 cocktails, who they send a box of, uh, ingredients to your house to make like a Tiki drink and then you go on zoom and you learn how to make it. Um, and it's great. They're both really fun and they've been really good for social distance, uh, uh, drinking, frankly. So those are my two plugs. That's awesome. Check that out.
Starting point is 01:37:17 And hey, also check out, you know what, I'm just getting an update from Micahs and I was there for this, but it was a kid from BK and he got, and he got pushed through the, the seven 11 window. So we got an employee, an employee from BK got thrown through a seven 11 window. Oh boy. That's rough. Uh, hey, you know what?
