At Ellis Island, I was born again. These words were written by a Romanian immigrant who entered the United States at the age of 10 and, on deciding to pursue an acting career as an adult, changed his name from Emmanuel Goldenberg to Edward G. Robinson. Famed for his tough guy demeanor and distinct voice, which would become the vocal inspiration for the Simpsons chief Wiggum, Robinson would star in a string of early film noirs, including Double Indemnity, Key Largo, and his mob kingpin Caesar Enrico Bandello, in a gangster film whose title would inspire the name of a budget-friendly Detroit-area pizza chain founded in the late

1950s. Decades earlier, another immigrant to America, Peter Kirk from Derbyshire, England, settled in the Iron-Rich Cascade Mountains of the Pacific Northwest to expand his family's steel business. Kirk would found a city named after himself, Kirkland, Washington, which would become the location for the headquarters of a nationwide warehouse club chain and the namesake of its Kirkland Signature brand of everything. In 1985, the stores would introduce a hot dog cart, later expanded to a full food court that included, among its offerings, pizza.

Today, these dual pizza providers for the working class throw down right here in Kitchen Stadium. So, which of these value-oriented purveyors of supreme pizza will reign supreme? This week on Doughboys, the second matchup of the semifinal round of Munch Madness, the Tournament of Chompians, the Slices Right, Costco, versus Little Caesars. Welcome to Doughboys, the podcast about chain restaurants. I'm Nick Weiger, alongside my co-host, Rick Poutino, Mitchie Two Spoons, Mike Mitchell. Rick Poutino.

Former Celtics coach Rick Poutino. Also college basketball legend. Not a great, not a great legend for the Celtics. He's been, yeah, he had a terrible career with the Boston Celtics. Tim Duncan's not walking through that door, perhaps his most infamous quote. It was Tim Duncan, wasn't it? I thought it was like Larry Bird. Larry Bird, but he also threw Tim Duncan in there.

Oh, okay. I think because, you know, because of the draft pick they didn't get. And disgraced. He was disgraced. I think he was railing another guy's wife in an Italian restaurant. It's really, like it was like an insane scandal. I take it back. He is a Celtics legend.

Hey, that roast was courtesy of Derek Kearns. If you have a roast you'd like me to use on Spoon Man at the top of the show, roastspoonmanatgmail.com, or Mitchie Two Spoons is your new name is. The Mitchie Two Spoons. That's right. Yeah. And a howdy how. To Mitchie Two Spoon Nation.

You know what? I'm going to just go with a drop, Nick. Here it goes. I don't know why this is getting so contentious. I think I thought things were going well. Wake up, bitch. Man, what the fuck? I hate this.

You fucking idiot. We're friends. This is fucking terrible. You fucking asshole. Fuck you. Piece of shit. We're friends. I am your friend.

I think best friend is Lobush. Your best friend is Lobush. What are you? You keep saying a lot of fun today. That was fun. Which makes me feel like you're going to fucking snap. No, no. I'm in a good mood.

Really? Got a belly full of pizza. I'm raring to go. Hey, Mitch and Nick. Love the podcast and hope it, like your friendship, lasts forever. Oh, that's very nice. Anyway, enjoy this dumb drop, Rob P at special charge on Twitter. Thanks, Rob.

Good job. Nick. First of all, I'm Matt Domino's is out. Yeah, eliminated on our previous episode. A close call. But you know, I think it ultimately came down to blaze the upstart was able to fell it. Look, and also it just it just offers something a little bit more unique. I think that gorilla's sample reminded me of the there was a there's a new Simpsons

shit posting thing where they put the whole thing to the feel good ink and it's the it's the steamed hams to feel good ink gorillas. Yes. Not actual gorillas. The band. Wyger. Oh, that's the name of a band. Jesus.

Okay. Fuck. I didn't. I was like, I was like, where were they? I didn't realize any sounds or anything in there like some classic. You are such a fucking nerd. What's wrong with you? I know.

I didn't know that I didn't recognize the little lick there. I didn't recognize that little ditty they had. I'm so sad that I even brought it up. It was a mistake to bring it up, but I thought we could talk about Simpsons shit posting a thing that you seem to like. I love Simpsons shit posting. I don't like Simpsons shit shit posting. Oh, it's fun.

No, it's not. It's fun. They put it in another scene. That's fun. It's already a funny, it's already a funny scene. Yeah, but it's a funny thing. It's fun. I get what you're saying because it's fun, but it also kind of drives me crazy at times,

but then I enjoy it on the level that it's driving me crazy because it really is just cramming together to oftentimes two deep cut references in a way that where you have to be like, like intimately familiar with the show to understand what the joke even is. But I guess it appeals to me as someone who's, you know, I like the song. I like the song. Like Smash Mouth and the gorillas. Right. The Simpsons.

Not actual gorillas. Yeah. But you know, maybe give that a shot. Nick, we've gotten to the point now here. Yes. Yeah. Make a gorilla shit. Simpsons shit post.

Yeah. I mean, hey, you have the Homer one where he was King Kong. You can go off of that. Yeah. I guess, I guess you could go off of that. You get Mojo the monkey. I mean, not exactly a gorilla, but in the ape family that grandpa gets is an assistant monkey. I think at this point in the tournament, you know, you watch like Nightmare on Elm

Streets and like a lot of the times you're like, oh, what's going to be used ironically against these people and a lot of the times it's a stretch. Yeah. Like, you know, like there's like, okay, a guy into video game. Sure. You can use that as against him, but then there'll be like weird things where like a guy will be like, I like to like make. I mean, I guess that's normal too, but you know, you know what I'm saying.

A lot of times kids are just kind of like boring and don't have that extreme. Yeah. Thing. I think it like he likes to go swimming. He's a member of the swim team. Yeah. And then Freddie will like strangle him with a towel. Yeah.

And then be like a new record lap time bitch. And you're like, what? I guess he's referencing. That's a swim thing. And I guess he was a towel when you're swimming. I kind of, I mean, like they just clearly like their writer's table just kind of, the writers, I'm just kind of gave up on coming up with these writers room. Oh wow.

I like this whole room for these freddy movies. I think they probably, hey, they have round tables for a lot of these movies. Yes. I'm sure that they do and did. They convene the greatest minds and horror to try to come up with some freddy's ironic punishments for West Craven. Toby Hooper. I don't know the rest of them.

I've Barker. I've Barker. Hey, I was watching some Hellraiser last night and know what I was thinking. What? I think you would fit in great with the Cenobites. You think I could be right in there with Pinhead and the bunch? Yeah. I'll take, I'll take that as a compliment.

They have the same level of excitement to everything. Wait a minute. And the state of masochism. You know what I like about Hellraiser? Motorhead has a Hellraiser song. Oh really? And it just goes, Hellraiser. Just like as a, as a, you know, like you got to love the title track for movies that

just have the name of the movie within the lyrics. Was that it from Hellraiser 3? It's like from Hellraiser 8 or something. Oh wow. It's like a late Hellraiser. Whatever the most recent one. Hellraiser was, I mean, as you know, afraid of the devil. I just don't know like the, the, the mechanics of the world enough in Hellraiser.

I gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta revisit Hellraiser. Cause it's not, it's like hell, but it's also like a different dimension. Right. Too confusing. There's a lot going on there. There's, there's like a cursed puzzle box that I think or something like that. Yeah, there is. It's weird.

Keep it simple, Pinhead. Yeah. I mean, Freddie, you can understand. You're a horny teen. You have a nightmare. He's there. And he kills you with whatever your favorite thing is. Yeah.

You like spaghetti. He's going to stuff you with meatballs and say, Mama Mia bitch. Should we introduce our guests? We absolutely should. From drunk history and love. And he's the composer of the Doughboys theme songs. Michael Daniel Cassidy is here. Hi Michael.

Hi guys. Welcome back. Guys, I'm back. How would Freddie kill you? Do you think he would turn your head into, your teeth into keys on a, on a piano? That sounds right. Yeah. Wrap me up in piano wire.

Uh-huh. Go, it's a minor symphony, bitch. I should have said concerto because that would have been piano specific, but we're not going to go back for it. Guys, I'm back. I love it. This is like. Thank you for being here.

Thank you for making time for us. Oh man. Come in, eat gigantic pieces of pizza. You guys, I'm really weighed down by this. You guys. I didn't eat anything before too. I made a big mistake. I like drank a big coffee on an empty stomach and then I came here and ate cheese.

It's going to be great. That's a thing. Yeah. And anticipation of the big meal. Cause that's like the, the, the, you know, the Thanksgiving rookie. I feel like mistake is that you don't eat anything all day. So they're, they're four years old. Yeah.

They can't eat enough. That's why I like the people in their thirties are going like, you fucking idiot. Nice rookie move. Yeah. You dumb fuck. Uh, but you, you know, you like, you have a big meal coming up and, but you eat a little something earlier else. You're going to get so.

Yeah. You got to stretch your stomach out ahead of time. Yeah. You have a couple of Thanksgiving rookies in your, in your fam. I got a house full of Thanksgiving rookies right now. That's right. My kids. Yeah.

It's true. They're too tiny for pizza. My daughter eats pizza actually. Oh, that's fun. Yeah. We could call her later and see if she wants to chime in on, on the chains. What is a, in what form does she, you know what, uh, bites her, you know, the, the one, you know, this is, this is right on brand for the podcast.

This is good. The pizza that she really likes, um, this is my daughter's two, two years, nine months. And she loves the Trader Bambino's little circle pieces from Trader Joe's. They're like, yeah, little baby circles, cut them up into four pieces. That's guys, we could talk about all that she eats. You guys just want to talk about, uh, baby food. Last time I was here, we did baby food. We ate baby food the last time we were here.

And that Mitch, that works for you because you're always wearing a diaper. Yeah. You know, as funny as I haven't stopped eating the baby food since we started. Yeah. I saw Postmates guy leaving, uh, with a bunch of empty jars. He picks up and delivers. Yeah. He's like a culligan guy for your empty baby food jars.

Hey, you know, speaking of those culligan style guys, I've had some snafus with a sparklets men. Oh Jesus. Cause Mitch, we're both in the sparklets family. We have sparklets on delivery. Wow. This is like, you make one of Heathcliff, Heathcliff comics. Yes.

But if it was a comic like the day of the life of Weigar, it's like, oh boy, a sparklets adventure. So what exactly happened? Well here, they're two issues. One was a couple deliveries back. They dropped off a bunch, a bunch of new full waters, but then didn't take the empties. So had, had a whole bunch of empties, which were left outside the door that we had to like make room for.

So we had like 12 like water jugs in our, in our not super high square footage apartment. And then, so that was one issue, but here's the larger thing. Sparklets has revised and you, you're lucky. You're one of the lucky ones. You've got the bottom loading sparklets dispenser. That's right. Which is, which is really the, uh, you know, the, the Rolls Royce of, of those sparklets dispensers.

I've got the class. Yeah. It's classy as hell. It looks great. And then it's easier to load because you don't have to lug that big thing over the top of it and turn it upside down. Oh man. You have one of the ones you have to load.

I got the old school one. The king of spills. Yeah. Well, here's the issue. So they've changed the top of it. So when you plop it onto the sparklets dispenser now, it's got like a little Blake, like an extra layer of seal. And so it creates like a, a, a, a volcanic sort of eruption of water that just sort of

goes everywhere. You don't matter how gently you try to, to put it onto its little spigot. Yeah. I'm sure you're used to things like that. When you talk, you're comparing that to a jaculate. Is that what you're saying? Yeah. Basically.

So what's the issue? Why would that be unique to me? I'm the only guy who comes, I'm saying, I'm saying it's you're used to it being up in your face like that. Oh, okay. Anyways. Take it easy. So what, what's the issue?

Did it explode on here or what? They just, they're always explode. It's every time it's like, oh boy. It's like, I knew that, I know that it's going to be a thing where it's going to shoot a bunch of water everywhere and they have to grab a little kitchen towel to clean it up. I haven't said this in a while. Natalie needs to get a divorce. She needs to leave you and you're sparkless behind.

Look, I'm going to give you, or maybe she needs to start loading the water. Why don't you, why, how does she does it? Girls can do it too. Yeah. She does do it sometimes. She absolutely does. Okay. Good.

Does she spill it? Uh, I'm not really. Well, so she doesn't spill it. Look, she might be a little bit more savvy in terms of how to get that onto that dispenser, but Jesus Christ. It's a challenge for me. Here's my advice. Yes.

I'm going to give you some advice. You got too many sparkly, full waters in your thing. That's absolutely true. You get to cancel them online. Yeah. I got to take the order because I get like five for two weeks. That's too many. That's way too many.

I need like three. I get, I get one. I usually try to get one every couple. Well, I'm one person. I drink a lot of water, but you drink out things other than water. I would say water is my main beverage. Yeah. So I drink a lot of that water and then I also used it to make coffee, which you don't

drink. So that's, that consumes a little bit more. All right. There you go. And we're two people. I don't live alone. All right. Fine.

Relax. There are reasons. I'm not saying you're a water freak, even though it sounds like you are. Sounds like he's a little bit of a water freak. It sounds like you're a water freak. Are you drinking this water, Mitch? I feel like you're just kind of rolling around on the bottles, letting them loose in here on the floor.

There's a very cute video of Wally and Irma when they were kittens and I used the water bottles to like make them, knock it out of room and they were trying to climb them and they couldn't get up with their paws and they were. It was very. I mean, now that I say it, it doesn't sound interesting at all. I think it's very cute and probably in their memories, their most terrifying moment, the moment that the person, the only person they could trust made them climb over like a slippery thing.

It was for their own good. That was they were, they were peeing near electronic equipment. So that was the issue. It could have got zapped. They could have been zapped, but you're right. I need to go down from like, because I get five every two weeks, I need to go down to like three. Here's another thing you can do.

Put a outside your door where there's the empties, put the empties first of all. Yes. I've been doing that. Put a full one. What is it? What is it? What is it? If you got too many things and they're delivering too many things, he's going to see the full

one and say, oh, he's got enough. Oh, so he'll get, he'll get that you are full with water. Yeah. Hmm. Interesting. That's the delivery system. Right. That's bad.

Yeah. It's just a little crude and cumbersome and they have a website, but it's like not easy to update your preferences on it. We did actually, we put all the empties out this week and then just left a note, no delivery this week. And that actually kind of worked. Yeah, that works too. But, but yeah, I like, you're, you're leaving one bottle and it seems like there's one outside

right now. It's a sign to them to not, not leave anymore. Or is that a sign that you just didn't want to take it in? Sorry. I'm so sorry. You guys. You don't want to hear more about our water. Cassidy's not speaking for their audience, which is riveted by the sparklets chat.

They actually are. Hey, you know what? If you, you've got sparklets out there, hashtag sparklets family. Let us know. No, what? This sounds branded. Yeah. It sucks.

Sparklets fucks up constantly. You can also use the, the sparklets family hashtag as this is not branded content. The dough boys can't be bought. You can also use that hashtag to air your grievances with sparklets because yes, they are an imperfect operation. They kind of have a monopoly on the home to water delivery thing, but I guess the, I guess arrowhead also kind of has a stake. I feel like they're a little more like the Corleone family than the sparklets family.

Sounds like they're fucking shaking you guys down. Hey, you know, Corleone, Italian. Yeah. We're talking pizza this week. Oh my God. What the fuck? Cassidy, I wanted to ask, what are, Hey, you know, Corleone Italian? Yeah.

Is that what you're trying to give a fun fact about the Corleone's being Italian? It was a segue. Mitch, I was trying to do a little bit of a. I know, but he could have done something else. He visits Italy in part one. You could have said that. Oh, much better. Oh, what a punch up.

It's better than the Corleone's. You know, they were Italian. We know they're Italian instead Michael Corleone. He went and visited Italy. Hey, that's the birthplace of pizza. Uh-huh. It wasn't that much better. Let's go back for one more try.

We'll get there. Let's get some lateral alts. Pizza guys, the king of them all. The circle made of triangles that comes in a square. We all know the old sting. I've never heard that. Oh, really? The circle made of triangle.

Wait, what? The circle made of triangles that comes in a square. That's like a riddle of the pharaoh. The uh, I think it was the Sphinx rather the Sphinx would back at UCB once I said that about pizza was there for some reason. Yeah. Who was it that they were like, what? I say that.

I thought it was just a thing. I think it was. I think it was gambling and he was like, I say the circle made of triangles and I was like, yeah, I think I thought it was just like everybody says this. It sounds like gambling. It's now it's my thing though. Uh, no, pizza guys. What a great time to come back to do boys.

So what I wonder pizza times. Everyone has a terrible time to be here. No, it's a great time to be here. This is fun. Where ever it's going on. Did you have some sort of like brainwashing therapy last night where you your doctor trying to tell you everything is fun and everything is fine? I'm having fun outside of my sparklet grievances.

Life is going pretty well. Is there anything else happening outside of your sparklet grievances? I guess that's probably my main thing. That's most of the emails going in and out right now. I get that in dough boys. Uh, and yeah, a yoga class. So uh, so Cassidy, what are your pizza preferences in general? We talked about what your daughter likes, but what do you like when you're getting

some slices for yourself? Um, I got, would you just mean toppings or you mean just like pizza in general? Give me all the details. I love, I mean, I, I know that, that Mitch, especially that like having a cheese piece of pizza is like a baseline thing, but it's real hard for me to, it's hard for me to disassociate pizza from toppings for having a cheese piece of pizza. I get why that's good to have like a baseline for pizza and like to judge its qualities. I, I see.

Right. Or sometimes like in the case of where one of the places we went, like the cheese slices like a thing, that's a bit of a thing that they do well or uniquely or it's something to try. Yeah. But usually pepperoni's got to be in there and I love a supreme pizza. I don't like olives, but like a supreme pizza with everything, but the olives is like the best.

Right. My default order is pepperoni and mushroom. I feel like it's still like. Why? You don't like mushrooms on pizza. Oh, that's right. We've talked about this. But I like pepperoni.

So Mario fan. You are. Yeah. Mario doesn't love mushroom on pizza. He eats a mushroom to make him bigger and you know that I would do that too. If it made me bigger. I'd eat a mushroom. No problem.

You want to get exactly what it does. Hold on. You want to get bigger? Mitch? I do. I do want to get bigger. I want to get one mushroom larger if you came in here and like Mario, if I was small Mario right now, and then I got bigger.

If I was bigger enough to stomp me like a Koopa Troopa. Yeah, you're implying. Yeah. What do you think of that? My skeleton around like a shell. You wouldn't be a fucking mister. Know it all at that point. Would you?

I'd be quite scared. Twice as large as you are now Mario family is from Italy and Michael Corleone went to Italy and the godfather. What is Mario's last name? It was Mario Mario. Mario Puzo is the Super Mario brother. He's the same Mario that wrote all of the godfather, all of the godfather. And also, I mean, I don't know, is godfather's pizza a part of your journey on this thing

or now or what? We discussed it. It's tough because there are godfathers out here. They're a little out of the way. Yeah. But ultimately we looked at the rankings of what the top 20 pizza chains were and that's kind of what we use to make our top eight bracket. We kind of figure the top four had to be in there.

The Hut, Domino's, Little Seizures, which we're discussing this week and Help Me Out Mitch. What's the other big four? Papa John's. Papa John's. Those are the four biggest. You have to cover those. And then outside of that, we just tried to make a grab bag of like interesting slash

relevant choices. I got a question for you before we go further into this. When Mario is small, is that his default size or is him eating the mushroom as default size? Good question. And then also when he's small, what's the deal? Is he just tiny or is he younger or baby? You know, the sort of.

I feel like the way that the way that the way that the game, like pixelation of the games that when Mario became popular necessitated that when he's small, it seems like kind of baby, more baby proportions. And then when it's big, it seems like that's his default. That's quote unquote, like his, his, his normal, whatever, and something happened before the game started to make him small and he has to regain it with the mushroom or something. But also that could just be a shortcoming of the game and it's just like, like the eat me, drink me of Alice in Wonderland and it's supposed to be proportional.

Should we get into the pixels of it all? I do. I do like this. No, I like your theory. Nick went quiet because he immediately started Googling it on his. No, no, no. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not Googling that. I'm actually trying to, to, to find the menu so I have all the dip and sauces at the ready

for this. Oh, what? We're talking about Mario. I know, but I'm trying to get ahead of it. Uh, I apologize for being very my laptop. I think that the, I think this is a compelling argument. I think probably the thing you have to examine is that in the current cannon, there isn't really a small Mario.

Like there isn't like that. There's, there's one, I guess in the, so in that world he was getting tiny. Yeah. And I was his dick shrinking. Yeah. Well, I heard that that was the one part that didn't shrink my man. Right. You know, he's a plumber and he's got a overalls full of pipe.

I heard Luigi has a little tiny dick though. He would. Yeah. He's such a fucking beta. You toad is hung though. I saw it. I saw it one time. I came back in the room when the game was paused and the characters didn't know that I was

back yet. Wow. And toad was like, yeah, toad was one was it? This was super mario two. So he toad was nude and he was looking at the egg burdo burdo. Yeah. Burdo was like, just like, just had an egg kind of like going in and out of its mouth. Oh my God.

And I think toad was getting excited off of that. Yeah. Mario and Luigi were sleep. Oh, they're not into it. Where was princess? Was she around? She was like floating above burdo and burdo was kind of looking up like a lot of weird layers to this.

Well, it all happened real fast because then they saw me and they like rushed back to their like default, you know, like, it's interesting before Wreck-It Ralph too. So I don't even know. Right. I guess they have to Wreck-It Ralph. This would have been normal. Yeah. Well, everybody knew about it.

That was the big like expose a movie about it was Wreck-It Ralph. Yeah. It kind of blew the lid off of this thing in the same way that Toy Story taught us the reality that toys come to life when kids leave the room. Yeah. Wreck-It Ralph are the same thing that that video game characters have a life outside of the gameplay. Man, what would a toy story for you be like?

I'm sure that there wouldn't you wouldn't have any toys in your room. First of all, what do you mean like as a kid as a child? I had I had toys. I had Ninja Turtles. I had he man's. Hey Ninja Turtles are big pizza fans. Yeah. And Michael Corleone went it in the Godfather they like the now the hold on.

I was going to say Burdo kind of a progressive character is I believe it's supposed to be trans. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. That's cool. Burdo is trans. Yeah.

Uh-huh. I think I just had to sit with that for a minute. Yeah. That's what that's what it in the in the booklet. It actually says something. It may have been I mean the the the translated NES booklet of 1986 may have used language that is perhaps not what would be used today. You don't think they were taking a political stand with Burdo in their in their game packet

and they were like no we're going to do a trans character. I mean it would have been very ahead of its time. Yes. I think I think a lot of people have taken have embraced. Yes. Yeah. Absolutely. Yes.

Well and also like I mean if we're that's you know that was the one that I walked in on in my actual life but that was a bad you know that one's not really a Mario game. That's true. That's your friend. So if we're talking about a re-skinned Doki Doki Doki Panic yeah which is fine but it's fun to talk about still I just want to be clear that like if we're talking about Mario that's not you know the same thing with the Super Mario Brothers movie it was a Doki Doki Panic movie.

Right. It was I heard John Leguizamo had this Doki Doki Panic script that he was just so passionate about and he did a lot he did what it took to get it made man he did what it took. I will say that yes Mario freak himself. Yeah. Oh yeah. You know the freak. I know the freak.

We all love the freak. I will say that that Mario 2 despite being yes it was a re-skinned translated jet it was a Japanese game that they and they didn't release the actual Super Mario 2 over here instead that later came to the States of the Lost Levels but despite that some elements from Super Mario 2 notably Shy Guys have become a part of the larger Mario canon so I will I say that it's like yes I think they call it actually Super Mario USA in Japan. Oh really? Super Mario 2 so yeah it has made its way back to the other back to Japan as well.

I've got a question for you. In the new Minions made Mario movie you think they'll be in one where Shy Guy takes off his mask and scares everybody and you only see the back of its head. Oh that's fun. Yeah they might do that. Yeah I think so. I don't think that will definitely be in there but I think if someone I could see that being in the movie.

Well now it will. You just you fed them that little golden nugget there. You gave that away for free dude. What are you doing? Also now we know. Let's put it on the Patreon man. If in the movie Toad is completely naked and getting off on Birdo sucking an egg in and out.

We'll also know that they were listening to the pod. Or maybe they just pause the game at the same time and let the room. Now it's going to be like kids are going to like try to pause it at the perfect moment so they can see that. They'll be chasing it. So Cassidy you so pizzas you can't divorce from toppings that's what it sounds like. I'll eat cheese pizza if it's like oh we're at a party and I'm eating one slice and it doesn't matter because it's you know pizza is always you know the thing you know bad

pizza is still like pretty good most of the time right even like there's been I've had a few examples of like inevitably bad pizza I suppose but they're definitely outliers usually even just kind of subpar pizza you're just like whatever it's pizza right it gets the it scratches the itch a little bit because it's got you know it's got that right combination of sauce and cheese is really what it's at that's my wife eats a lot of kind of like not real cheese you know you know like almond cheese sure whatever stuff trainer a trader she betrayed me so she you know I I've tried all those kind of pizzas too and I will say that for me and I don't have any allergies or anything to deal with that like real cheese

is a real I mean that's it's just a fundamental part of it like having fake stuff on there I can it can get me only so far in the cauliflower crust you can do crusts that aren't quite crust I've had some success with that yeah the cheese is hard to have had some success with that yeah it is not it doesn't taste the same as a pizza but it also is good yeah it's like a different kind of good thing when you still can have like a pizza sauce thing that gets you there in your mind to feeling like you're eating pizza pizza can scratch that itch especially we got a long piece of crust you using a long crust as a back scratcher yeah what scratch do you have that is like just a pizza crusts length from your from

your grass in that area I think I always get scratched my back right around there I'm looking down the back of your shirt and there's a bunch of pizza crusts left left back down here from scratch I gotta say send them forward yeah oh hey you ate them all the so I don't know the having like real cheese and and pepperoni is real real baseline for me yeah but that's I don't know I don't know what else can I say about my preferences are you what's changed that I had growing up or something Finn Crust thick crust oh yeah I go style New York style I mean I look like in New York like kind of having a big like a big New York slice is a very particular joy but right I didn't enjoy that really that much until I was an adult

growing up I feel like I feel like the normal like original quote unquote original crust at Domino's and Pizza Hut both were the default because I love to pan pizza at Pizza Hut and I loved the thin crust at Domino's for a while I loved the thin crust because you could kind of eat it real fast and you could eat a lot more yeah of it and as a kid that was like the eternal goal was just like well oh we're getting pizza let me see how much I can have right yeah it's like a mainstream chain pizza that that thin crust yeah well guess what you knocked it out of the fucking competition you and Carl you had a plan together to knock it out we had no there was no conspiracy there was no collusion we had we did a collusion

there was no collusion we know we came to a we agreed oh two out of the three of us voted for in favor of Blaze and so it advanced over Domino's hey you know what maybe Domino's is going to win Fat Chance Kitchen and make its way back to the main tournament and I was some fucking dumb rules you've had made up I'm sure some bullshit rules I'm not playing that Wiger's not playing on the level I am applying that and I you know what I'm not rigging this tournament I think you're rigging it I'm not rigging this tournament I don't have even that much of a reading interest in it you know guys I did this same competition two two years ago yes when the burger yeah and this I mean the rhetoric was the same

then you guys things have not changed around here two years ago dear god yeah there's the third one of these we've done Jesus yeah March Madness 2018 2016 burger brawl 2017 chicken fight 2018 the slice is right and you know that I'm like you've named them off the top of your head you freak I'm like a super fan through and through you know that I'm a real a dope a dough buddy and but last time I was like yeah friends of dough the last time it's more like we talking about Flanders oh my god friends Lenny and Carl Lenny and Carl would have been better oh yes Flanders is kind of his rival he hates Flanders he still hates them Flanders likes Homer yeah first Flanders likes Homer Homer doesn't like Flanders

views it as a Homer well when it comes down to it Homer will stand stick up for Flanders yeah but he doesn't like Flanders yeah it's like our relationship in many ways yeah I guess where I like you but I don't want to be around you right spend time with you and I feel like you feel the same way yeah and also I represent wholesome Christian values yeah yes you do you know you're one of the biggest like Christian figures in pods right now yeah I think so I think weigar's kind of look to it like I feel like you should start doing this on Sundays I think you should release the pod on Sunday morning at Jesus hour for a long time I was seen as like as far as comedians go it's like more church like just because you're Catholic just because

I was Catholic and like I was very much not true really religious well yeah and also but also too I think just it's your cartoonish fear of the devil yes he's scary yeah but he's scary because you're religious yeah no he's scary in general see like if you're not religious it takes all the power away from Satan right if Pinhead was in here right now what do you think about Pinhead and Satan buddies or enemies hmm I feel like they're probably their goals are very similar right but they might be competitors Pinhead also like likes like it's pleasure and pain mixed the devil's all about pain none of these guys I think are friends it's all like it's it's a lone wolves down there yeah it's like a it's like a best of Suicide Squad style a lot allegiance yeah they've got kind

of like you know we're all on the same side but we're not actually friends we might have each other's back but it's just for to gain our own advantage you know they should have put Pinhead in that Suicide Squad movie that would have been fun that would have been satan actually if Satan was like the little the like the trump card that they were like who our secret weapon and then he pulls out he brings out what's his name the dog sir sir sir Cerberus Cerberus Cerberus yeah uh-huh Cerberus could be there yeah well don't make another one of those shitty Suicide Squad movies at some point I don't know what I don't even remember no it's already like evacuated my memory it was pretty bad I think it was pretty bad yeah I found I was just there was stuff in it

that I kind of liked but then also it was just bad it was a bad it was bad you know what the thing about actually I'm trying to look up like the guy's name Suicide Squad the fire guy what the what's that oh yes was it Diablo was that yes Diablo yes okay why what so yeah so this is a thing about an adjacent this is a thing about Diablo take it easy Mitch I'm talking about a comic book character not not not beasal bub um he's trembling yeah so Diablo has and you guys have seen the movie so he has these crazy face tattoos that's right but what they have like these so and he's also got like these crazy like fire powers but they have like a flashback to his home life his domestic life yeah when when everything was going well and he had like this wife that he loved but

he still got the face tattoos in that part it's not like he his whole family died and then he like turned dark and he got these face tattoos it's like he had these the whole time while he's just being like a dad this is this is what threw you it was weird it was a weird choice why would he always have but he was in a gang he was yeah he was running with the wrong crowd yeah he was running with the wrong crowd then he accidentally got mad one time with his wife and kid and then like burned them to death is the story of yeah and we're supposed to have empathy for this man who burned his family up because he got pissed off a little too angry at the house yeah they do i do remember that scene though where i i didn't i didn't have a problem with the tattoos but i do remember that

part of like oh i he burned up his family and like yeah then later they have us like shedding a tear for this guy right anyway um but tattoos were never like the source of the superpower i thought that was kind of like he was going no they weren't the source of his superpower but i thought it was like oh this is this indicates that his turn to villainry is that now he has these tattoos for you to judge diablo all right sorry diablo i apologize i clearly this was clearly a thing that was specific to me you're a good character and hey juno is a well-written movie so congrats on your Oscar that is funny that that's the same diablo yeah it's weird right in your life yeah it's very flattering that like you know she got someone to play her in that and suicide squad

who cares about comic book movies right i mean i don't know everyone gets mad at me every time i say this but they're fun to talk about they're fun here here's the thing that and i've talked a lot about this they're exhausting a little bit of fun i went to disney recently and hey it's me mickey i'm here we have pizza here i am too we do have pizza there at the what is it called that is the astro where what is it the pizza port oh my god oh my god i didn't i didn't expect such a does anybody have a donald digga do i can't do one bitch you should try again all right i'll try again

why aren't we are you trying words at all it's hard i don't know how you do guy does that donald boys that guy nobody got far enough to like say in their confidence level to commit to saying a word or like speech we just went no one knows donald donald doesn't have like a list of right you don't see don i was in the park i didn't see donald donald was underrepresented he's maybe he's back in the navy and also he's the he's also the funniest he's the funniest one of those mainline disney characters i would argue goofy is very funny that was pretty funny goofy got like people what about me i'm pretty funny hey hey we can be funny too i didn't know who the fucking wants at first one of these dogs is

my friend the other one is my pet i decide which is which and i fuck on both oh god mickey what the fuck sorry hey what would you do with this much power quite goofy or i'll make you a pet i'll take away your talking rights um i'm gonna lose my agency you don't see you don't see donald as much as you want in the park yeah that would be a fun walk around character we're gonna we're gonna review disney well he should i know is that blowing it that's kind of podcast the rides territory isn't it no but crossover hold on a second we said we were gonna review disney before podcast the ride existed yeah i guess that's true we should we should okay so you hear that and you say well hold on that's kind of podcast the rides i was just i

feel like we should say if we're gonna do something like that maybe we review the foods of disney yet no shit and we're gonna talk about the rides that we're going when we go on there but anyways well if you take food on a ride that rides fair game that's true so take a churro take a churro on the ride then you get the ride sorry podcast let's say i happen to have a turkey leg on pirates of the caribbean guess we got to review it now i happen to have a bowl of soup on the guardians of the galaxy ride that's a bad idea yeah oh man i think i'm gonna burn my dick off hey man you guys hear about that guy at disney will burn the dick off soup yeah and they changed the guardians ride so now the characters and guardians comment on it yeah don't burn your

fucking dick off kids that's okay you can enjoy your soup but don't burn your dick off i forgot halfway through the voice of that character rocket is a um rocket is an animatronic on the guardians ride he's an animatronic little guy did you ride the the guardians right i did yes i rode twice wow um okay here's what i gotta say yeah the ride is fun but i did i did in scott gearner who hosts the the the podcast where i got mad at me for saying this but i liked the twilight zone ride but i did i liked it better i truly did i like the opinion i think i think that what people would say the argument against i like the guardians ride i i think the argument you like a better than twilight zone ride i i here's what here's my

argument i think i probably i might like the twilight zone ride better but i like that they put a guardians ride because it's like fun to acknowledge that new thing and i feel like a lot of like if you're a kid you have no idea what twilight zone is but you know what groot is so it's like a little bit more but it's scary and interesting right but here's here's what i was gonna say apparently there's a much better twilight zone tower of terror in florida like one norland is way better than the one in california was just an inadequate replica a junior version yeah so it's not that much of a loss the original still exists but then the other thing that i would say like the reason i might still say i like tower of terror a little

bit better the even the the the miniature california version is because i just feel like the guardians ride is very abstract like i'm just like it's very easy to understand okay we're in a falling elevator that's falling up and down it's a little bit harder to track exactly what the motion is in relation to the property in guardians of the galaxy you know what i mean it's like what am i do what is going on exactly why am i going up and down what is this this experience that i'm having it seems like shoehorned into an existing like infrastructure for a ride which it is yeah and which is fine but i mean i just like knowing the previous one when i wrote it and i've only wrote it once when i wrote it i was just kind of like okay this is this is like a little bit abstract now

i just think it's weird to see like a guy pretending to be chris pratt out in front of the building and i'm like in 10 years this will be dated they had like a walk around chris peck yeah he was like kamara come on dude like it was a guy like pretending to be chris pratt like a star lord working the lines yes there's a there's a star lord guy out front he's the he's he's star lord though man right he that's weird that he would be the guy that is interacting pre-show it was like oh no no i'm saying in in in like in front of the actual ride there was like a little like thing on the corner where like star lord and gamora and they're doing a little characters yeah yeah yeah that's a way i mean that's that's a weird choice that's not i mean that's more of a

theme that's more of a theme park criticism rather than the right itself and i think a lot of the criticism comes from like a principled thing of like i and i i share only part of this that i kind of do like it when theme parks keep their old shit around because the old rides the outdated rides are sometimes sometimes they do just become outdated and it's like why are we why is that there but sometimes it's nice to you know it's nice to have like it's a small world is a bad example but that's the extreme example of like oh an old thing sure it's nice to have that next to like big rides and it's kind of sad to see something like that go to just like okay let's put a marvel flag on this and like yeah the thing of like oh we're gonna just turn all of our rides into marvel stuff is

a fear people have i think right which isn't really happening and in that case i think you're right that the the california tower of terror was one of ride that's like you know i'm not crying that it's gone yeah it's also disney california adventure open in 2001 yeah this isn't like a park with like that's true this crazy history that like the dis the disney land has you know sure but it was a good ride it was a good ride i agree and there's a port over there right that's where donald's should be yeah isn't there like a port disney land or something at california adventure i think they're changing it into like a harbor or something pierre yes our pierre yeah he should be should be over at pixar pierre i don't like this hill go where i say probably the basement

we'll take a break we'll be back with more dough boys hey mitch yeah nick did you know the dough boys podcast is now available on spotify oh no we're on more things spotify is making it easy for you to stream this podcast and many others like it on your mobile device desktop app and smart speaker open the app on mobile or desktop click on the browse channel and then click on this podcast section take us with you wherever you go thanks to spotify yeah welcome back to dough boys we're here with mike cassidy and mike michael and mickey and me bitch ready and the wario and pinhead wait that's what pinhead sounds like yes oh why i'm late for the gala so uh we're talking pizza this week it's the

tournament of champions munch badness here are the rules slice of life or the slice is right slice is right slice of life hey that would have been uh too late one slice will keep you alive and the others will kill you one slice to bind you here are the rules to recap them real quick pizza only side stay on the sidelines drinks are in the gatorade jug also on the sidelines level playing field delivery versus delivery takeout versus takeout dine in versus dine in and from each chain we'll sample one cheese pizza and one wild card pizza that's right cosco little caesars cassidy any biases coming into this any preferences of these two chains uh well i i this is my first time eating cosco pizza wow uh and i've uh i haven't even set foot in the cosco for probably 10 years

but and when i did have pizza before i think i i think i've had the the frozen pizzas that you can buy you can buy those gigantic cosco frozen pizzas and make like an oven pizza and i've had that which i don't think is like i don't think it's like they're cooking those outside at the pizza thing this seems like i don't think this seems different i think that's different i yeah i wonder part of their grocery division or whatever right i wonder if it is but i i think it's i wonder if it is prepared in the same process at minimum it's probably a pound less of cheese on there yeah so yeah there's a lot there well we'll definitely get into that i so and little caesars it's also been a long long time since i've had little c little c was like maybe i stopped eating it i think in

college because there's just you know if there's better p there's just so much better pizza available i'm sorry you guys and it was also kind of like um i don't know maybe maybe part of it is that their whole thing is like hey the pizza's ready right now all the time you come in and it's just like here's like it's a quick turnaround i guess like that's a big thing with a lot of pizza places but that that that in my mind means that it's the that affects the quality of the pizza if it's just constantly available and requires no like 10 minutes in an oven you just get handed a box that was there before but that's me working from the standpoint of experiencing little caesars as like a food courti kind of uh or like in college like a place where like there's a bunch of

pre-made shit land yeah you're gonna get that that cheap hot and ready and that's yeah which i guess yeah value value me able to fill up your family or your you and your door mates so i only mentioned that because you mentioned you said biases that's as close as i come to a bias maybe i guess little c but also i have i i mean i cost goes good at a lot of things why not why not pizza i give them i'll give them both the full benefit of the doubt it's an even playing field here you guys i'm very objective about it uh you mentioned uh you mentioned college you went to university of iowa right did you ever with neil campbell paul rust that's right murder murderers row of a very fun i get uh on the road himself they were all there when you guys were there yeah we were all

classmates wow we were roommates we shared a sleeping bag for those of you not in college yet you'll see yeah i'll share a sleeping bag when you'll share a sleeping badge with bag with literary legends yeah yeah nila i actually were roommates oh oh guys old buds you guys shared we've been friends for a long time we shared some pies that's true um gumbees was a big thing in iowa city where the university of iowa is that gumbees you guys know gumbees pizza no gumbees pizza and they called their garlic bread and poke sticks oh wow and it was like that was like the great late night available to five o'clock delivery pizza was gum do you think they had an official gumbees license or was this that's a great question i don't know that they did yeah

they definitely you're talking gumby and pokey yeah okay yeah and they just had pokey sticks with the bread sticks yeah wow oh so what they really were they were gumbees was like and there was definitely like they must have had permission or it was a flagrant like they got away with it for way too long to not have permission or that's funnier if they just like drew a shitty gumby and stole it but i think i think there are multiple i think that's a chain too like a midwest thing and godfather's also as it was in the midwest that's right that's that's maybe what i would compare cost code to most oh directly the cheese one anyway right cheese one is a is a is a unique experience for the cost code thing i want to say gumby

gumby underrated as far as childhood things that i i used to love gumby yeah he's cool huge gumby it's also too it's like it that's the one where the toy is the guy like it's like it's like very set because it's like this claymation thing when you get the toy it's like sometimes you get an action figure of something that's 2d and it doesn't quite like line up with what you've seen but gumby because it's like a it's like a 3d physical thing they use for stop motion when you actually had the gumby figure like hey it's this exact thing that i used to see on the tv it's like good for a child's brain hey you got a problem with 3d mickey take it easy mickey well i think 3d mickey i was over my godfather's my godfather son's house and his daughter is

actually my goddaughter no let's be clear you're not talking godfather's pizza michael corleone went to idly on the godfather my godfather's son uh-huh which is who's like family neil kiley owns the fat cat and quincy uh-huh oh yeah i know neil yeah you know i haven't met him cassidy's been to my do we do we talk about those on the podcast i think when i did the double maybe we talked about me when i went to quincy he cassidy has been in my city while i wasn't there right your house at my house for what's going on the talk show that i did where they would surprise me and stuff yes uh so he's he's been there and he would have been so much fun to be there with the fat cat we went yeah that would have been fun yeah if it wasn't

designed to be a secret torture for you like that whole show was but anyway but yes neil the fat cat he what about he i was at i was at his house and i was watching uh with with his with his daughter i was and i was watching the diz the the 3d and it sucks it looks weird it looks like a 3d mickey stuff yeah weird man well now i don't like having this stuff i like have shied my daughter away from liking there's there's a mickey show that's the 3d it's like a roadster they're like in race cars and stuff but it's the 3d like one's not the two it looks awful yeah it really is off-putting and it's it's sad too because it's uh you know some of the computer stuff that's happening now is like fun like oh man it's fun to go see like you're talking about super hero movies

like that's great they made these cool things they look they're they're conjured out of a computer and then like the awful worst version is what kids are watching and you're like mickey is better than that right if you take taking a 2d character and running in 3d sometimes just doesn't and honestly the opposite too like i haven't seen a good drawing of shrek he's hard to draw yeah he's a 3d he's a 3d character hmm you haven't seen a good 3d hey guys send us your 3d drawings of shrek no 2d drawings yes that's right man 2d hashtag hashtag 2d shrek contest we'll get you know what the best the best 2d drawing of shrek no they're gonna start drawing me as shrek or something yes well mali definitely well they were going to anyway all right so hashtag we're going

to anyway and now they definitely are the hashtag 2d mitches shrek competition and whoever has the best 2d shrek uh make sure it's original authorship don't use don't steal someone else's drawing guess what if it's of mitch you're disqualified oh he gets to make the rules there's houses rules there's gonna be a thousand of me you can still do that but we'll come up with a prize for the best why is donkey oh that's fun cool oh guys that's very good and i'll be the camera and deas one yeah in shrek or non-shrek mode uh the audience decides there'll be something about mary era you know what i can relate to shrek in a lot of ways he's right about a lot of stuff anyway really they're both grumpy yeah fuck you so kassidy the the iowa pizza chain i actually

wanted to ask about uh because it's a place i'm fascinated by that i've never been to is pizza ranch have you have you ever familiar with for sure ranch oh yeah for sure have you ever you ever eaten there yes many times many times that's like a um uh it's a sit down place right it's like in malls a lot of the time kind of like uh like i don't know like bonanza or sizzler stuff like that where it's like an in mall restaurant but not food court but like a sit down whatever yeah at least that was our experience and it's kind of their thin crust is kind of like their my memory of it is that their thin crust is kind of their their normal pizza or their that's what's good there right um it's kind of forgettable pizza honestly if i if i'm

recalling correctly in that that uh the thin crust thing is it's just what i recall it being a little lackluster as far as like i don't thinking about it doesn't make me want it again but it right that being said it's been 20 years since i've eaten pizza ranch so i who knows here was here is my question about it um because because yeah it's interesting to hear about the food but i'm also like like my source of fascination is that it's a cowboy themed pizza chain but also is apparently overtly christian oh yeah do you so do you ever precious in and out burger yeah in out burgers and they're subtly christian yeah i guess the christian is a little bit more up front with pizza ranch um i would believe that i don't have any memory of that being manifested in the

restaurant so that's interesting because i because you look at their website and the mission statement on the website has this uh this listed vision to glorify god by positively impacting the world they're kind of up front with it there wow yeah the best way to do that is a western spin on a piece of this right the logic follows and then people will go oh the only way that this glorious restaurant could have been possible was through a glorious creator uh i don't remember that i wonder if they have like i mean whatever they probably don't have like crosses hanging in the restaurant or something but you know like in and out has stuff on the bottom i wonder if there is is i don't know if they're subtly christian i think they're pretty christian who in and out burger

well i mean they have like oh subtly they only put scripture on the fucking bottom of the cup on the bottom of the cup you have to seek it out and you see like a little like in in small way a little eight point font there's like you know just like it just says like john 316 it just cites a verse it doesn't even have the text of it it's it's just a little nod at their christian art you wonder was it's like paul like 1218 and it's like thy burger shall be double stacked right animal styled look but mitch i mean i get why you'd you want to keep your religion out of your sandwiches oh no i don't care actually i'm just trying to these are the people that are going to be able to save you from the devil man that's true they're your only hope

we don't even we don't i don't believe in i don't know do i believe in the devil not really i guess it's even after watching exercise they do yeah yeah i'm more scared of stairs after watching the exorcist than i am scared of the devil that's such a scary movie we should watch that i agree right now yeah can we and we'll be right back and we're back we just watch the exercises things have changed the stairs even make you scared that was too scary for freddy bitch well what are all the other ones that was terrifying that's pinhead pinhead was scared to even pinhead scared to the base of his

tiny pins his pin shot out of his head he's so scared and killed everyone sitting around him that would be his moment his his moment of like burning his family would be like he gets too upset with his like his like daughters his loving daughters on the couch and he he gets surprised by a door shut shutting too too quick and like his pins fly through them and kill everyone he kills his family he never really kills anyone with his pins which is kind of a disappointment you want to see him kill someone i think true that's his own torment yeah which perhaps for him is also pleasure all right so he's a sick fuck so let's let's get a wager sounds like the wager family is this is this pinhead wager is this last name wager i'm looking at imdb yeah it is weird hey

hey you know it's it's canon um and the name of the movie is pinhead wager you've been saying the name of the movie we're going to say hellraiser it's not hellraiser it's not even close i don't think they even say hellraiser in the movie oh boy now they're gonna drop pinhead wire in with their 2d mitch shred oh no oh don't do that guys come on just kidding i would love that yeah you sick fuck i'm a sick fuck and camera and Diaz from the mask all right so casco little caesars these are these are our combatants um i'm a big fan of casco yes go i just want to say the mask first pinhead would be a good battle because the mask can't really be killed by anything and so it would be interesting well i mean yeah right yeah that would be a good battle yep good battle i mean

what would be i mean if we did like if they made the movie like pinhead versus the mask then in the end it'd be like pinhead like tries gets the mask and he puts on the mask and then his pins become like big green oh that's oh my god that's terrifying but then you know i'd be think a little later the mask would have thought ahead and he has another you know an extra secret mask that he puts on it's like wow that's the one that's the big mask and then the masks battle yeah there and the mask battle battle in the mask movie because the bad the bad guy gets the mask battle yeah yeah yeah i mean i'm tired of all these rap battles how about more mask battles amen i'm sick i'm sick of it i'm sick of these rap battles too i see him every other day yeah how about mask battles

dot com yeah jimmy found where are the rap battles well there's a whole show about james cordon has yeah as a spin-off show yeah um so yeah there's that's what that i mean pinhead probably i mean who knows who knows who would win there that would be a great movie it would be a great movie sink a lot of time and energy into it and you get and we're giving it away for free so okay i have been this was my first cosco pizza yes um what were your impressions i'm very interested the uh i had i had a slice of the pepperoni pizza and a slice of the cheese pizza and the cheese pizza is is kind of a singular thing there where there's it's just it's it's very much an overloaded piece of cheese pizza it's so gooey so cheesy and it's kind of like the opposite

of what i was saying earlier we're like oh without toppings is it pizza they make sure that you feel like you're eating a full piece right because they overload it with cheese and it's good and it reminded me a lot of godfather's pizza where they would overload with with cheese yeah and that was what i liked about godfathers was it felt very stretchy and gooey and yeah um friend of the podcast and uh tournament commissioner evan susser was here he was just here when i showed up yeah why we don't really know he was just here but he he commented uh before we started recording and then he left before we started recording and he did get us milk he did get us milk which is very nice of him explain later unrelated he brought us a little saucer of milk and left it on the ground

and then he tiptoed away but but he he pointed out and this was something we mentioned on the previous Costco episode it's an it's a fun fact the cheese slice actually has more calories than the pepperoni yeah and and i think maybe the combo slice as well it's it's like it's because it's so loaded with cheese it's actually we we took a picture of it because it and if there are no matter what their slices the sizes are humongous these are like kind of big new york sized pieces but also dense and thick but not thin yeah exactly so it's a lot of pizza one slice and it's like whatever the calories was like 800 calories for pepperoni and like 850 for cheese or whatever the difference of like 50 calories yeah but at the uh and there was also a sign that said do not

feed the birds there was a sign that said do not feel hitchcock rule yeah in front of the which there were so many there were so many people around there was not even room for birds and hitchcock was there too was there sometimes you can see him at the atwater cost well that's stepping into his shadow stepping into um returning to where he shot the opening sequence for his famous tv show at the Costco it was that it was on the brick wall at Costco they have a bunch of foods there i i don't think i've had any of the other foods there because we saw what was the chicken thing that looks like an egg i've had that chicken bake very very heavy like Caesar dressing inside like it's like a chicken pot pie but it's like rolled up like an egg roll that's

a good way to describe it yeah it is it doesn't look like you're gonna go super heavy it doesn't look like you're gonna go for many healthy options at this place yeah there's nothing really i mean even the Caesar salad i think just has so much dressing and it's just so i i you know you're gonna pig out a little but you know you're gonna get your money's worth because it's just everything so cheap i think that dollar fifty hotdog and soda combo is the best bargain there if you just want to not spend too much money i think the Caesar salad is a rude deception i think that it's i think it makes a lot of people think that it's healthy and there's nothing healthy about a Caesar salad right because you you erase all the healthy parts and with that dressing is so bad

yeah and ran i mean whatever i could be saying this about more than just dressings in general i guess but sometimes you see it on your menu and you're like oh it's in the salad so we're all good but hey guys i don't need to get on my soapbox about the Caesar salad but they what else they had my trainer yelled at me to never get a Caesar i was gonna get a Caesar well he also told me not to do this tournament and that this is going to kill me but um he he told me Caesar salad no good no go don't click don't get the Caesar yeah are you sure that he doesn't have a pet monkey named Caesar and that he didn't want you to eat this salad that he had set out for Caesar oh yeah he did say don't eat Caesar's salad apostrophe yes yeah i thought that's my i thought that might be

what he had meant did he also mention this monkey was like super intelligent no he but he said that he was franco's house he said he did say an escape from franco's house oh okay he said that he was working on some simian flu or something oh no your trainer's working on a working on it don't just stop i just need a few more ingredients for my simian if you if there was a canister you found a canister and if you open it up it would give the world the simian flu you know what i think i might just fucking open it why you want to give us a planet of apes yeah because we treat apes too poorly that is a hey you know i think i might treat apes better we they we could treat a lot of animals poorly you treat a lot of animals better and i watched princess mononoke last night that's a

great movie i've seen a number of times and i've seen it in japanese and english the cool dude i was fun i was like i liked it so much i was like oh watch it with subtitles all right here that's fair actors it's a very very beautiful did you like it with subtitles better that's armin told me to watch it with subtitles um it here's that because hyelm is miyazaki i just butchered his first name but miyazaki he uh the the legendary animator behind that film and and i guess probably most famously out here is the howl's moving castle no not howl's moving castle the other one that won the oscar spirited away spirited away i think it's probably his most famous film here in the in the states but he i think he is actually some is like pro dubbing because it's animation he's

basically his standpoint he's like everything is dubbed in animation so i kind of buy that but it's interesting just to watch it in uh it in the original language and and the reading the subtitles with something so visually dense does kind of take you away from the imagery a little bit billy bob thorn seems like a sleep in the uh in the english verse yeah it's maybe got some some listless performances but it's still overall just like such a such an awesome great movie where it is about nature and living with nature yeah and i think i might be immune to the uh seminaries you think you've already taken it i think that i might be beside with the apes i think i might be able to live you think that you just had it like at birth and you were an ape

and have just been in disguise as a human this whole time so just make that would be great if it made us more like if it worked on humans too and didn't just you know all the humans didn't have to die i want to live with the monkeys and hang out just turns you into an ape yeah can't we just do that and we just turn into apes yeah please i've never grown my hair out and i could they could go it could grow all over my body for all i know what you so you mean you've never grown your chest hair out no i yeah i shave it every week don't you guys i shave i shave your chest hair a couple there were a couple times a year anyways i got a sidetracked here speaking of how do i get monkeys back to pizza do the mickey thing maybe

back to pizza we go see it worked so yes there's not a lot of healthy options at costco but the cheese pizza the pepperoni pizza i mean what were your impressions you've got some crust remnants in front of you yeah i've been i'm a slow eater so i just i'm still eating it i really like the pepperoni pizza there and i like the cheese pizza a lot too i will say i mean you're such a slow eater at turtles over there and uh he just before we were recording you said like get a move on buddy yeah but weirdly it was turtle from andrage yeah and then he lapped up that little saucer of milk that haven't left and then he took off he took

off said i'm going to fat sal yeah all right get some real food the uh the pizza was good yeah the dough it's a real thick piece of pizza at costco very thick very dough is like it's not thick in a in a bad way it doesn't seem overly doughy necessarily but there is a little bit like of uh i want a little bit more give and and i don't need it to be crunchy uh but like a little bit of a crispy crust goes a long way right they didn't quite do that they didn't quite get to like it was kind of the same texture the whole slice yeah and it's kind of nice to have a little a little tiny crunch at the end especially if you're dipping it is i will say exceptional for dipping like dipping the crust it's a good bread for right dipping in sauces and stuff yeah it is i'll say

this what i noticed about i talked about this a little bit before i think the weakest thing especially this time around because i actually like felt like the dough was a little bit more frozen taste than this time this time oh interesting this time the dough was good but there's a little well a little reservoir of sauce right before the crust yes and i don't think that the sauce is that good the sauce doesn't have much flavor to it it's really just basic i think it's just straight up tomato sauce yeah i don't think there's there's really any seasoning either even yeah that's their secret is not in the sauce it's not it is not exceptional the sauce is not good i mean none of it seemed exceptional to be honest it all seemed like a very nice

execution with fine ingredients but it didn't feel like this i've never had this combination of whatever they didn't find anything new about it except that there's maybe more of it yeah i guess that that says it's just excess and value is what you're getting out of it it's just you you're getting so much for so little and then if you do like cheese and i love a cheese pizza if you do like a cheese slice it's such a cheesy slice such a massively cheesy size yeah um in a way that i think will win over people who don't like cheese pizza like it it it it feel feel felt like it validated it it earned its keep right i actually got the the combo slice at costco last time i went i got the the pepperoni and i do like their combo quite a bit very mushroomy uh sausage is

kind of next in line i'd say it's probably mostly like a it tastes mostly like a mushroom in sausage pie um the the bell peppers onions and pepperoni are kind of buried on there and there's olives too or no yeah but they're they're kind of like you don't really get a lot of i i'm not sure if there are olives at least there i don't think there are any on my slice on the picture at the place today there was olives but who knows i may have gotten olive less slice yeah uh and uh but but in any event it was just there was so much mushroom in sausage that that was just really what i got out of it more than anything uh you know i i love i love costco there their line management was very efficient the cheese just was so so good i got it again both of them had a nice

toast on the dough this time which you mentioned that you kind of had just like a thoroughly doughy one mine might i thought had a little bit of crispness uh towards the crust we had a we had a bit we had some big lines yeah we got the cast he got over here i was getting out of the shower yeah i came i had been watching him through the window in the shower pretending to be late no susser and i were outside we while you shower then we went outside uh and then it was very quick i was quick oh that's not what i was trying to say at all uh no i was just i was just saying that then we we drove over to costco and the and then we left it we left it about 1115 yeah well maybe 1117 you're the one that's making you about time i know what i'm saying that well

because why you're here i'm afraid he's a fucking crazy person what does it matter we started on time we're at the court on time yeah in fact you were late i was two minutes late i was kidding a little scissors i was kidding jesus christ uh we we we drove over there and no i was saying the all of this because we were very afraid that we were going to be late or i was no one else was really that afraid susser susser was kind of susser was kind of uh oh sorry about that an alarm went off what the hell what the sound of a can uh no was it it's uh when the levy breaks by led zeppelin is my alarm okay anyway so i rock out from the sun up or whenever i set my alarm at which is not sundown so we thought there was big there were some thick lines there

right like the thick slice almost as thick as the crust yeah almost as almost as thick as the crust and uh i guess thicker but um we we we thought with that i was going to be very late susser was loving it he thought i was going to be 45 minutes late to the record but the the line management it went by pretty quick it it was it was yeah they keep it moving there they kept they kept it moving along we kind of lucked out with the line we're into it was good it's also there's there's no wait for them to heat it up they just hand you that slice yeah they handed us these the stack of paper plates with foil it was good and it's all it was all right there it didn't taste like you know when we ate it it tasted fresh it was right like fresh pizza yeah it wasn't like it it did

look a little burny on the top it did it did look it did cheese one especially it did not look very appetizing sure um but like you can kind of see on the crust still a little bit like a lot of the cheese had that kind of that little little little burnies yeah i don't have that little char but it i did that for me that did not negatively impact the taste in fact if anything it was a welcome bit of texture i agree weiger calls that boogers and warts i don't call it that a weird kid i went to school with called it that and it's been stuck in my head his drop dead fred basically called it boogers and warts it was a real boy he was a real boy okay let me go man let me go we also got uh we're also talking a little Caesars so i i picked up the little Caesars at the same location as

we had the little snafu last week bitch it worked out um i got the i got us this why why god you know people are gonna hate me because of that no one's no it's gonna be fine um anyway of gun gun it was a whole thing this you you haven't the episode we were recording this before that episode is released so you were maybe not privy to this but i understand mitch ordered the pizza last time i went to the wrong there are two little Caesars on vermont i went to the other little Caesars out vermont you went uh yes medium Caesars right i went to medium Caesars uh but this time i i took care of i i did the ordering too so i knew it's a location to go to yeah um anyway weiger took care of business i don't want to turn this into a thing no it's not i i'm sorry i i should have

just let you go on three go for it go go go go but just shaking his head it's fine everyone's doing great so the ultimate supreme which was pet which is pepperoni italian sausage mushrooms or onions and green peppers and i order a deep dish cheese the detroit style deep dish um and just just plain we got the cheese on the regular crust last time so this is us mixing it up uh so the one twist we had here is while i may i placed the order i got in my car i got a call from little Caesars while it was on the road and they said they were out of onions for the ultimate supreme pizza so they offered to replace it with ham which i thought was an interesting substitution but i figure it kind of worked in the sort of you know combo pizza way the ultimate pizza way supreme pizza way so

i was like all right sure yeah throw on ham so that's what we had we had these pepperoni italian what i ate that yuck ham mushrooms and green peppers um as well as that cheese deep dish and then they also have a bunch of dipping sauces there buffalo ranch buttery garlic cheesy jalapeño and ranch we sampled for our crust kassidy what did you think of the little caesars uh i thought that what did you just say that what what's their supreme called the ultimate supreme the ultimate supreme i thought that one was very good yes uh i thought that it was kind of all the textures that i was just talking about were present the the toppings were good yeah good amount of cheese on not too much i thought that was a really good piece of pizza and it didn't have olives on it

which i like even though it's easy to pick off the um and the sauce was maybe the thing that going from the Costco to the little caesars was it's the little caesars sauce isn't like a mind bending experience but sure it did feel like there was a little bit more something to it it has some seasoning yeah there was like some oregano or something yeah yeah right even if it's as simple as them dumping oregano into a big pot sure like it does it did make a difference um yeah uh and then the deep dish cheese the deep just cheese was good for dipping that was probably the best thing for dipping uh because then you could get into those sauces i like that the the jalapeño one uh and the buffalo ranch one too yeah the jalapeño one is very much just like a

nacho cheese but it was actually oddly like it oddly works with thin queso yeah it kind of does work um the uh the ultimate supreme yeah i i like that one quite a bit you know i would say maybe that the the little caesars default crust i'm not as excited by as the Costco default crust but the little caesars deep dish crust i think is really good and unique and i like that detroit style those square slices i think they it's got like a nice uh nice crunch to it especially on the edges it's just kind of like crisped up um you know i'll say that i like the square slices too but the the ultimate supreme had a good good ratio i would say that on this deep dish they could have cheesed it up a little bit yes it felt a little spread a little thin that's actually a

fair point i mean for a cheese for a straight up cheese pizza yeah i think the Costco definitely delivers like oh this is cheesy this has that that great melt that goo factor that that nice amount of grease just just it's just a little greasy um and uh you don't really get it you don't really have that same sensation with the deep dish cheese mitch what were your assessments of these of these two pizza experiences i think that this is maybe gonna be the closest of everything we've done so far wow i really i really like i really like that little caesars deep dish pizza yeah i like it i think it's good i think that today this is what this is what's gonna make it close for me is that i just i today was not as good of a version as i think it's usually better than it

was today the deep dish it felt a little colder there's something that just felt plain about it today maybe it was the no toppings on maybe it's just the fact that it was cheese but the supreme was good i thought it was like a basically good like a basic good kind of i don't know a basic good pizza slice of good sure pizza i like that they called i didn't know i didn't know that until excuse me didn't know that until now they had yeah there's i they i really like their their service they they called to double check about the ingredient and also too they could have just left onions off and we probably wouldn't have noticed i didn't even talk about that i that didn't even i didn't even register that that happened when i ate it yeah so i guess i don't

need onions on pizza ever then because i i wasn't like man this isn't i mean you don't have this thing that i like about pizza it is like i could have maybe helped though i feel like i could have helped yeah like a crunchy little bit or like like a little i feel like every supreme pizza just like so much of the veggies especially coming from these places just aren't just aren't that great and i feel like onions are the easiest i think onions are always just good because they're onions and they're easy um but yeah i i would say that i i'm probably i'd say supreme pizza in general mm-hmm i don't feel like i need it i don't yeah no sorry to go against what you said gassy hey i i think i'd rather get i'd rather get out have a meat lovers i'm my i'm said that's why

that's why i settled on pepperoni and mushroom you still retains a just enough simplicity right you only you only have to get a couple things right and you only get it at places that are you know you don't get that everywhere but if you go to like a new york place that'll do a good mushroom thing for you you do it otherwise just pepperoni i get it because it's a it's a you roll the dice on supreme pizzas yeah you get a simple fight down to your face i feel like i feel like if i'm gonna get a bunch of stuff on a pizza either a veggie pie or a meat lovers pie but when you try to do both at once it's it's you know that whole jack of all trades master of none thing it just it just it just doesn't it is kind of what we ended up having was more of a meat like a pepperoni and ham

right thing with a bunch of veggies on it more than yeah and then i i think the gone with your pizza thoughts mitch did you have any more you want to say i mean not too too much more honestly i i'm trying to i'm trying to categorize all this in my head i i'm trying to i'm trying to think of who won who won i don't know who won here because that casco slice of cheese is a is a good slice and here hey nick it's all about the slice being right with this which slice was right right well let's let's one really knocked it out of the park let's get to our decision so cassidy this is how this is going to work we're going to judge from zero to ten college basketball scholarships in six different categories the categories are appearance

cheese sauce dough slash crust toppings and x factor we can begin with you and you don't have to keep all those categories in your head i can i can feed them to you so appearance yes okay we'll feed me the category so here's the scholarships uh appearances first yes um i mean i think that casco uh messed up a little bit in that the pepperoni slice i had all the pepperonis were slurped off to one half of it right it wasn't enough pepperonis a that's a different category we'll we'll circle back on that uh but there were also all to one side and it was burnt it really was looking burnt the cheese and stuff so and the the ultimate supreme looked very nice for regardless of how it tasted or freshness of ingredients it had all the colors right it looked

it looked like pizza and and i really liked the square pizzas but i got a doc little scissors a little bit because that cheese didn't even reach to the edges of the crust on their cheese pizza yeah so i think i still gotta give it to little c um we'll go little c gets seven and casco gets four wow cheese is up next cheese okay uh casco goes both ways i don't think i docked the cheese for the look of it i gotta go by taste on the cheese and they really they really did a good job with that cheese slice that was and the pepperoni slice was also very good we talked a lot about the cheese one because that's what's unique to that place and i'm gonna have to say that yeah we gotta give this one we gotta give this one to casco casco gets

casco is gonna get a nine and little c you should have put more on there that's a six wow sauce sauce okay this one's easier uh little scissors gets uh a six and casco gets a three dough slash crust dough slash crust okay i loved the dough in the cheese pizza the deep dish that we had at at little scissors i think that was probably the best crust of the day yeah um so i have to give it to them they did a good job on the crust of if they had just crisped up the outside of it a little bit more i really loved the consistency of the casco dough though i feel like i get why that's a part of their thing well we'll rank them both high let's do little scissors gets an eight and casco gets a seven toppings toppings toppings toppings not enough

pepperoni's casco we talked about this a minute ago yeah and it it i don't even need a lot of pepperoni but so i guess you know that's why i docked him an appearance but well it's tough to with toppings because the cheese you know i guess the cheese pieces just off the table entirely here and that's casco's big swinger so there's nothing left to protect casco and you're talking about their shortcomings and toppings okay we'll do little scissors you know these weren't like the mind-blowing green peppers or anything let's do little scissors gets a six and casco gets uh a three wow and then the last category and it's up to you to determine what this means x factor the x factor right hell yeah i knew this was coming in i didn't even think about it oh i know

okay um i noticed on the packaging that little scissors doesn't have chest here anymore yeah those that they redesigned the mascot they scrubbed it and you heard it here first this thing that happened 10 years ago probably it's like they pulled a mitch they just shaved his chest yeah yeah now he daily all the little scissor guy on the box shaves his chest and i think the x factor i think he puts the pizza in the other room and then he goes into the bathroom and he shaves his chest he comes back yeah and then the pizza's done then the pizza's ready while his pizza's cooking he shaves his chest we all do it right we're not gonna act like we're different than this little Greek man it's probably the best way to time out cooking a pizza actually we didn't even talk about

that is there's some kind of Greek pizza thing going on with little scissors or is that just like a a grab at a straw like uh visual identity for them it's a it's little scissor it's it's a nickname that the owner gay the owner had uh that was given to him by his wife and the suspicion that it's is that it's related to a gangster film from the 1930s called little scissor glion family yeah wow oh it's and i you in your thing you probably say oh yeah okay the opening do you talk about that in the opening that i make a reference to okay i didn't get to hear it okay it's fine so he doesn't do it anymore for some i do it we look make sure we're buying time today i get every word like i would tell you i'm not trying to cause a thing uh okay we're behind today yes

the x factor what does that mean though the chest here i think that means that they sold out and that the x fact that's like a negative x factor is that a thing right it's just kind of whatever it is cosco had the sign that said don't feed the birds you know i don't know visually cosco's got nothing on little scissors though i kind of i kind of want to commend them for their choice it's a fun mascot yeah it's good and the chest here was a problem they figured it out i guess the x factor's got to be to their favor then they figured it out they sold out but i'm bet they're selling more pizzas so god how do you give a ranking on this i guess tend to what what do i do it's not that cool of an x factor it's pretty cool though yeah it's pretty cool

all right well we'll give a little scissors a 10 on x factor then wow uh the highest score of the competition and then cosco yeah five wow um mich i'll give my rankings appearance okay i think i think in terms of visual appeal for my slices i went separately from you guys but i feel like my cosco's slices looked a little bit better than the little scissors that i picked up today i'm gonna say seven cosco six little scissors it's close i don't know about this i mean we just didn't get to see your cosco you want i get pictures you want to see it yeah let's see all right hold on i'll text you these pictures and i'm gonna i'm gonna see if this is if this is fair scoring i'm gonna text i'm gonna text you these pictures hold on let's see uh this one's oriented the wrong

way do you let let me hold on yes let me change it no don't change it just give it free orienting you know what don't even don't send these 100 i'll send it right now you guys and then i'm gonna send it here's what's gonna happen and then you're going to look at you guys are gonna look at it cool and you're going to say do we want to get back to that spark let's wait hold on this is the wrong one just pep it up then you're going to say that my score is wrong because of how you interpret these visually but i'm saying personal relative to me i think that the cosco was more visually appealing mildly i'm giving it a seven to six um okay cheese cosco takes it by far uh nine that's that's trash it looks good they look terrible and i don't i don't have any i don't i

think this is a close match sauce little scissors is better than the cosco sauce cosco sauce is honestly probably the weakest element i'm gonna say uh eight to three dough slash crust i like the little scissors crust and i think that that that deep dish crust is like the best best of these so i'm gonna give that the edge i'm gonna say that's eight to six toppings i think the supreme pizza toppings were better uh the combo toppings were better on the cosco one that i had so i'm going to say that's a that's a seven to five x factor both these chains are great i love cosco i'm a member i you know the food court's a great value that you can you can eat there for cheap uh i give cosco a 10 and you know what little scissors their their service was delightful they were they called

me back about the topping which they didn't have to do i got there and uh she asked if i wanted extra napkins i i said sure she asked if i wanted napkins period and she gave me so many napkins it's like i asked for extra napkins so it got an abundance of napkins which i love because i need now any lots of napkins uh which is the same thing that happened last time it was great they were just very friendly they also get a 10 i like both of these companies i like what they stand for i like that they're the pizza of the working man i like that they are they're places where you can get a lot of food without spending a lot of money uh mitch we'll go to your ratings appearance little Caesar won this battle though there should be a little points deducted

because they gave us our deep dish in two separate little tiny boxes instead of a big deep dish box yeah so that was an issue where they again were very friendly about it but they had ran out of the giant Detroit style deep dish boxes so they gave them to us in the small lunch special boxes i'm gonna go for appearance i'm gonna go eight for little caesars five for cosco okay also keep in mind i didn't see your guys like pizza either yeah i've already been eating them there's a show and i think the burn was similar to yours i'm looking at your photo i mean they do look good i don't know ours might have been burned a little burnier than this maybe you should revise your score maybe line up with mine um you know my numbers don't change i'm gonna

go so next is cheese mm-hmm cosco's got the cheese man yeah cosco's got the thing you got a tagline and that should be it cosco's got the cheese uh i'm gonna go cosco cheese eight little caesars gonna get five here mm-hmm though the cheese isn't bad there um it just isn't yeah that's not great it doesn't compare and then it was a little sparse on the one we got today yeah i know today's today's little caesars was lacking yeah i mean it's probably the fact that it was uh 11 a.m when you got it it's the lunching hour okay sure um they win the cheese sauce this one's going to caesars this one is going to caesars and it's gonna be it's a big caesars win i'm gonna say eight to four okay um dough mm man if this deep dish was i've had it better yeah i'm ranking it by today

it's tough this is tough it wasn't bad it wasn't bad but i think that today cosco's dough was better than it was last time wow the bumps me out i'm am i rooting for little caesars kind of seems like you are yeah but i'm also but cosco i'm kind of rooting for two i don't know what to do here it seems like cost goes the underdog when in fact i think we're learning that that maybe they weren't as much the underdog i don't know don't they i don't know i kind of haven't been paying attention to these numbers are they stacking up are they even who's winning well it doesn't matter because at the end we just say who we want so the dough goes to the dough's going to cosco eight

eight to six i'm surprised i'm i'm beyond surprised i'm shocked that cosco won the dough really yeah just keep keep keep going i thought today i thought today it won the dough yeah uh and we're dough boys we're gonna be true to the dough yeah or you're not the boys of dough hey you know what else is true to the dough who's a resident of 742 evergreen terrace oh my god a certain father of three yes the nuclear power plant and goes down to most tavern is you know watering hole flanders his friend i just bought him i bought him and all his friends oh my god mickey i'm gonna steal part skateboard and then erase all of the simpson

as far as toppings go the the real topping here is the cheese because i only ate a cheese slice of pizza but yes i argue that this is an extra cheese slice of pizza because that is what it is yeah it's a lot of cheese yeah that's an extra cheese this is kind of a wash i you know i'm gonna give one point more to just from reviewing memories i have to go on some backlog here we we already reviewed both of these places yes i'm gonna go little caesars beats it out by a score of man you know what it's seven seven i'll give him a tie wait so you only have one slice today from cosco yes hmm okay do you want to see some pictures of him eating some other slices from

earlier in life god damn it weigur i'm just saying i mean the rules we agreed on that i said at the top of the segment from each chain we will sample one cheese pizza and one wild card pizza it seems like you only sample the cheese pizza from cosco but go ahead last time i had both so guess what one of those slices fucking carries over okay finally x factor both the working man cheap pizzas yep so that washes each other out yeah i agree so now the little caesar himself they're both carry out places but the little cartoon caesar himself and the dipping sauces give the edge to little caesars but cosco you can get a lot of different food too it's true you can get a little yogurt while you're there too isn't that shit on the sidelines right now

it is sides are on the sidelines but dipping sauces are not wow huge blow to cosco right now yeah huge blow here here's what i would say did you guys get any parmesan or Italian pepper no i wanted to get some parmesan i didn't see it well i tell you what they'll just give them to you at cosco and i got some so they have their own equivalent of dipping sauces all right maybe you guys should have inquired behind the counter i guess so x factor nine to little caesars because of why we're talking right now and one to cosco wow all right well our scores are out there we got through that tedious process of yeah well reciting it's never been good it's never been fun reciting 18 numbers neither performer nor listener enjoyed

yeah i guess if we could send a message back in time to our listeners go through there are scores at 1.5 x speed yeah maybe 2x speed on your podcast give them a 2x yeah we know you're already at 125 at least well nick the scores are out there it's time for us to decide there's only one thing left to do we will count down from three to one and say which of these chains cosco or little caesars is advancing well the finals and munch madness the other one will be relegated to the loser's bracket work and possibly crawl its way back to the main tournament i'm like nervous i'm not sure i'm ready like i i have a decision in my head although i feel like i'm 75 confident in it okay you don't you don't know you're not i got i know what i'm gonna say it's

very close it's very close it is very very close and i'll be honest i'll be happy with either of these advancing because they both put up a good fight and they're both they're both chains i respect uh but i think it's time for us just to say okay let's put our cards out on the table i got i'll count down from three to one three two one little cosco it's a split decision cosco by a two to one margin i thought you were gonna say little caesars over mitch's objections advancing to the finals mitch both of your fate both of your picks dominos and little caesars are relegated to the loser's bracket the finals will be blown i thought you were gonna say little caesars cassidy i i just had to follow my gut man wow that's the you know

what i'm okay with this one yeah this is the one where i i know whatever numbers i said before like i had to just go what what piece of pizza would i get again tomorrow and it was the cheese that's the same that cassidy that's the same calculation i add which one of these is i'm gonna go out of my way to dish can be very very if i if i want a piece of pizza it's probably the deep dish over a lot of the things in the tournament so i think that that a little caesars deep dish on a different day probably is better than the cosco cheese slice but today that the cosco cheese slice was where i would get it i know but also this isn't bothering me as much as dominos underdog which is that's fun yeah it's not out of the tournament yet it's not another

tournament it will continue in fat chance kitchen on the doe boys double we will see which of those chains but it will make a way to the mac do you want to tell about doe boys kitchen the last chance kitchen or well i guess we'll save it for the first episode yeah well i think actually timing wise the first episode of fat chance chance kitchen will be out before well it's sides it's all sides it's not necessarily going to be sides in the championship of that chance okay okay but yes in the quarter final round it's sides only okay side stay on the sidelines of the main tournament but yes in fat chance kitchen sides are on the field oh but you're saying it's a little show that stacks it up pretty good yeah it's a side show yeah

side show a little Caesar yeah just like someone in someone's enemy who lives on evergreen all right well that was that round of uh of much madness it's time for a regular segment from doe boys media studios here in los feliz this is cereal a segment told one bowl at a time so cassidy we've got some uh we've got some cereal here for us to taste this is girl scout cookie themed yeah look at this is a general mills crossover that they're selling it in stores and we have two flavors they have a samoa's one and they have a thin mince one these both strike small ones are called caramel crunch caramel crunch and the thin mint one is called Mitch thin mince just thin mince it's uh but you can tell from the coloration that those are the

those are the the girl scout cookies that they are inspired i'm a big girl scout cookie fan how do you feel about girl scout cookies uh cassidy i love girl scout cookies uh thin mince especially that's that's a that's a no duh choice for their cereal right obviously that's that's i think probably the quarterback of their team still right i don't know maybe that's i think yeah i think that's their big seller love dosy does um and the peanut butter sandwich ones are pretty good to the um i think the tag along tag along yes the ones that have the chocolate coating but i think those are delicious i think yeah dosy does are probably my favorite after thin mince of course so nick we're eating cereal right now and then we also have to eat more food after this right

it's a big eating day it's gonna be a gross day it's a big dairy day for us all this pizza and the milk and the cereal hey mitch nick you've made some poor life decisions you had every chance of getting out of this that's true and now i mean the the further you get into it the more you know it's just never gonna stop right you know this is never gonna stop now so we're trying this caramel crunch first these look like little i didn't touch the end of that spoon there we go that's all right these look like little o's they i mean they basically look like on a scale of one to ten how nervous are the girl scouts parents when you go to purchase of their cookies what i'm wondering if they're afraid you're gonna abduct their children yeah abduct them and put them in a

basement make them cook more of these cookies i don't like this implication so these kind of are these are kind of like donuts uh they're little donuts is what they look like actually they're like thicker they're they're not they're thicker uh wait homer likes donuts they're like but he doesn't like nuts no that's true so he's just saying dough about nuts he likes nuts and gum together um so this is a they really look like a thicker thicker cheerio that's what i've been trying to say for five minutes thicker quicker poker upper um i'm gonna have some bites of these are these all the same or i can't tell if some of these are darker than others there's like some they don't look purposefully like that i think it's just like the amount of

cocoa nut batter okay so that's that's just natural variants they're not intended to be two different on the box there i was just looking for that exact same reason on the box they all look like they're the same color and they really look like donuts on the box the first taste of these are overwhelmingly strong jesus a lot of coconut a lot of a lot of coconut and caramel too caramel how do you say there's a there's a both are varying schools of thoughts weirdo sick caramel normal people's like caramel wow time for some on mike scrunching this is really a dessert i mean the idea of eating this for breakfast i feel like even as a kid this is just overwhelming oh my god well on coconut is not like a i don't know it's not really where it's not my

favorite flavor to begin with but it's yeah and i think imagining eating this first thing in the morning is off-putting it's so sweet i mean i love coconut i'm a big mounds guy give me a mounds give me some coconut cream pie i'm a big i'm coconut crazy um your cocoa i just i'm just coco coco my friend justin one of my my best friend uh winzy he always used to hate the slurp he hates when he's slurped with the syrup sorry i mean like at the end of the bowl and when you're milk yeah when you're when you got the spoon yeah but that is the coconut there is so off putting in a cereal context it's not and i really did not like that one i'll say that the slurp is as much the fault of the bowl as the slurper but we can move on sure it's the shape of the ball you

get the right ball you don't have to make it now i'm just noise just drink the milk hey enough slurping bowls how about packing bowls buddy you heard you've heard the that the thing you pack weed into is a bowl i have a winner the girl scouts coming out with that kind kind cereal oh boy this mint one is weird i don't know this feels like a christmas cereal it does feel like a christmas cereal it's like a peppermint thing or i don't know maybe it's just that it's wet this is crazy both of these are crazy they they feel like dare foods i feel like i'm losing my mind eating them the thin mints it's also i mean you're really eating the cereals wager

i'm losing my mind eating these when they arrest you it was the cereals fault i mean this is like eating cookie crisp right yeah it really is it's just a bowl of cookies which which i you know i used to like cookie crisp as a kid i don't think i could handle it now me neither but the addition of mint on top of that makes it taste extra crazy i bet the milk will be good yeah i mean i bet this might be good cereal milk actually if i could if i could make my way like if i could eat this for the next five minutes and have it be gone and just the milk i bet the milk tastes good does it soak up any of the flavor weirdly not as much as you might be too soon not very much yeah i think it needs to sit it needs to rest a little bit and we'll take a we'll take a little break come back

when the milk has soaked up the cereal all right all right we're back we actually uh we watched exorcist again yeah pinheads in it stairs i went back and put myself in it because it was so spooky because it was so spooky i had to be a part of it um wow all right so that the this is these you know i like both of them more as it went on but still not enough yeah i i i guess i would maybe say these are both wax even though this is not a snack or whack i would say maybe because maybe an attribute to the cereal podcast we say that these guilty or not guilty you're not guilty these are wait guilty means they're bad yeah you're not guilty of being delicious i should be guilty of being i think guilty should be okay so we should be ad naan or ad naan or best buy

another character from it what was who was the season or bo burgdoll because no one likes season two burgdoll right i'd say these are both burgdolls these are both burgdolls yeah me too yeah i mean i i don't see myself having another spoonful in my life yeah of either one of these i mean i don't think i would recommend it to a kid either like i'm i feel like my i'm humming right now from like eating half a bowl it's a lot of sugar uh emma emma what did you think thumbs up thumbs down i think the thin mints one tastes exactly like a thin mint wow pretty much yeah i agree with that i do i think like thin mints are super minty right the thin the thin mint one does taste like a very thin minty yeah yeah the camel delight or whatever yeah the simo one yeah you're right

actually that's a good observation which is the point right yeah yeah the thin mint the cereal kind of tastes like you're just getting a bunch of the insides of thin mints right like without the chocolate coating on the outside mm-hmm i mean even even that though i don't know i love the idea of eating a bowl of girl scout cookies with milk in it yes this should have been a home run it really should have been and neither these really really work out uh all right that was cereal just like a restaurant over your feedback i like the simo one more the car the caramel crunch more i think i might too really i don't yeah i would i would didn't expect that i'd have to think about it i think the texture is better in the girl scout or in the thin mint one emma's right that one does actually

taste more like the cookie i think it does taste more like the cookie but you know it is so weird in the other one yeah they're both not great yeah oh well uh that was cereal just like a restaurant without your feedback let's open up the feedback today's email comes to us from carolina portella carolina writes i'm currently eating in a mall food court one of my favorite bad for you meals my favorite food court joint is sora ball korean barbecue not sure if that's regional to sf but it feels cheney as fuck and delicious and terribly unhealthy what's your favorite food court restaurants ooh cheers carolina that's a good one yeah i i mean what comes to mind for me is hotdog on a stick because it's you never really see it outside of a food court and that's one where i see it and i'm

just sort of like craving how often do you get corn dogs like for me as an adult i don't eat them very often so i see that three to four times a week right there's the postmates guy so ten corn dogs so so for me and they do a good corn dog there and they've got a good lemonade they also do a good cheese on a stick which is as far as i can tell is unique to them so that's one place where if i see a hotdog in a stick in a food court that's like a guilty pleasure that i'll go with with some frequency uh cast anything come to mind uh well my gut reaction was very similar that it would be like kind of an a and w kind of place sure where you can get like a chili dog or like a burger and fries kind of place like that but that it's or dairy queen honestly is maybe what i

was more picturing which isn't quite a food court thing i think they do food court versions of dairy queen but yeah uh because like a corn dog it's that is a good example of like a food court food i mean what else like what other pot like i think pizza is a big one i think sparrow that's probably the last time i had sparrow was was in a food court that's like exclusively where you see that i'm thinking of the brain tree mall for me and it used to there used to be a brigham's in that mall which is great wow and then but now wetzel's pretzels and auntie ann's i think i think those are such food courty like pretzel things that i that i'll get yeah wetzel is good is good i mean yeah but i i really like that wetzel dog if i need something to need an actual meal there was also

what there was like a um what in that brain tree mall what what is what's the diner plate i'm not melz but the johnny rockets johnny rockets that was there and there was also but you know what i you know what i eat a lot of it at at uh i'll either eat like i eat i'll have chinese food a lot in uh food oh sure i think that you can get and express like a pandex press type place or like another place that's kind of just like a like a like a generic no name place because i think that the quality of it is usually better than some other spots yeah or your pizza slices there used to be there still is i think a pizza for your vagina not as good as the original location in the in the brain tree mall it seems like a thing that like buffalo wild wings or somebody would pounce on

food court having a food court wings thing right yeah yeah that feel i mean that maybe might more of a you do you think maybe wingstop would give that a go yeah buffalo wild wings they had they seem to have their more you're right yeah wing concept i feel like i haven't seen wingstop as like a mall counterpart yeah there's i feel like the the other thing i see is mongolian barbecue that feels like kind of a food court something of a food court staple but that's always just like so heavy yeah uh yeah i i don't know i mean i for me i think it matches right the the anti ends and the the wetzel's the world that that soft pretzel is a lot of fun and yeah like i mentioned a hot dog and a stick is for me but yeah let us know your picks hashtag food supreme court let us
