Do it.
What's up, you freaks.
Do you guys love movies that are so bad they're good?
You like a podcast so bad that maybe is good to you.
Well, I'm talking movies with Jason Statham, Saving the Day,
uh, lifetime original movies about killer flight instructors, basically anything made in the 1980s, those type of movies.
Or movies that are set in the near future. Oh yeah.
Some of those bad near future movies, Wags.
Yeah.
Well, Wags, if you like all that stuff, then you'll love the podcast.
How did this get made?
Uh, Mitch joined comedians and our friends.
Our friends.
Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, Jason Mantzoukas,
as they unpack the very best of the worst films ever made.
We love all three of them,
some of the funniest people in the world.
We've guessed it on that podcast,
both individually and together.
They've guessed it on our podcast,
and it's one of the best podcasts there is.
And it's one of the ones which we've taken inspiration from
with making Doughboys.
A founding father of podcasts.
What do you think of that?
An OG pod, I think absolutely, yeah.
They recently covered-
The Ben Franklin of pods.
Yeah, I think that's good.
Cause I don't think Ben Franklin's problematic.
Yeah, he took air baths.
Is that true?
Yeah.
Well, like he didn't bathe?
Yeah, he just stood out in the air. We're like, that's how he did like air baths.
Nasty ass freak. He's out there with like his hog hanging out.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I like it.
Try it.
They recently covered the big budget Francis Ford Coppola film Megalopolis,
which is quite a journey, Mitch.
We're a Coppola goofballs. We're a couple of goofballs.
We are a couple of goofballs.
And also a Bad Boys Ride or Die.
Yes.
WIGES, it's a great podcast.
Sometimes the podcast even has hilarious guests
like Seth Rogen, Nicole Byer, and Adam Scott.
Wow.
And also guests like the Dough Boys.
Yeah, they also have guests like that, too.
Skip those episodes.
The Dough Boys episodes. So what are you waiting for? Tune into How. Skip those episodes, the Doughboys episodes.
So what are you waiting for?
Tune into How Did This Get Made,
the podcast that watches bad movies so you don't have to.
Check it out.
Previously on Doughboys.
I will count down from three to one
and reveal our winners on the whiteboards
and say them in unison.
Okay.
Who will advance, Dominoes or Taco Bell?
We will find out in 3, 2, 1. Taco Bell! Wow, it is unanimous!
In 1975, the semi-final matchup of the American Men's Collegiate Basketball Tournament was first
referred to in print as the Final Four. Shortly thereafter, the NCAA, the corrupt and useless cabal
that banned paying their own athletes until forced to
by court order decades later, copyrighted this term,
as well as the phrases March Madness, Elite Eight,
the Big Dance, and the Lemon Party.
But thankfully, parody is still considered fair use
in the United States, at least for the next few months or so.
So our legally allowable Munch Madness continues
with its Quartet of Prospective champions into our own final fork. Today's combatants,
Chicken Fight winner Wendy's which scored a surprise upset over sub-optimal victor in
Doughboy's lunch order stalwart Jersey Mike's in the person region. But with this burglary
restricted to its bird-based offerings, can it best the most reviewed chain in this podcast's
history? That chain, of course, is mouth of the border winner,
Taco Bell, which easily triumphed over Slice's
Right Champion Domino's in the Spoon Man region
and now competes with its tacos and burritos only.
Who will advance to the championship
and stay alive in its quest to be named main chain?
This week on Doughboys, the first Final Fork
matchup of Munch Madness 10, MMX, the Tournament of Tournament of Champions of Champions,
Totcock, Taco Bell, Wendy's. Ring the bell!
So it's the Doughboy, Double Hot Doughboy. Doughboy.
Welcome to Doughboy's, the podcast about chain restaurants.
I'm Tiger Weiger, along with my co-host,
the Lord of the Ring Cam, the Spoon Man, Mike Mitchell.
All right.
Hopefully this gets in before there's a serious argument
about the ring notifications
and it's not fun to joke about anymore.
David C. rocifbirdfuck.com.
And that never really happened.
Honestly, and also it hasn't,
that alert hasn't gone off since the last time we've done it.
Have you altered the alert a lot?
No.
Okay, so it still could potentially go off.
It could potentially go off.
But you're saying,
cause the last time it went off on an episode was
last week's main feed episode.
I was trying to describe to people,
I was trying to explain to people how it was so weird
that it was happening, but I don't care.
I don't care what they think anymore.
I just don't care.
I hate them.
I'm proud of you.
I mean, I like, I love them too.
I do love them.
I love a lot of them.
I'm not proud of you anymore.
I love a lot of them.
I'm immediately walking it back.
Roastthebirdfuck.com. Hey, top of the morning to you, y's. Top of the morning to I love him, man. I love Wally. Immediately walking him back. RosaBirdfuck.com.
Hey, top of the morning to you, Wives.
Top of the morning to you, my good man.
How about that?
Aaron Goebrach.
Ah, love all that.
We are recording this on St. Patrick's Day.
Yes.
But you know, what else, Mitch?
This episode will be coming out on 320, buddy.
Smokin' if you got him 320
You told me that you're gonna dress up as a 1900 Irish police officer, yeah like I like a classic like hoity-toity-toity
You know where those cops started at? Where's that? Boston, Massachusetts.
Wow.
They started it.
How about that?
When black people started moving up there,
they was like, we gotta do something.
Yeah.
But we're rich, we don't wanna do it.
Let's get, who can we get to do this?
These Irish fucks.
Let's make them be the regulators.
Right.
And regulate we did.
Yeah.
Damn good job, Regulator. Damn good job, Regulate.
Damn good at it, too.
Damn good at it.
Mitch, we have a lot of show today.
But before we get to your drop, we do have a couple of announcements.
First up, the Munch Madness 10 finale will be livestreamed this coming Wednesday, March 26th in a marathon
pay-per-chew event.
The finale itself will still be in the main feed of the podcast, but if you want the pre-show,
you want the post-show, the only way to get it is to watch the live stream, link at birdfuck.com.
Presented by Dana White.
That's right.
We're going to slap the shit out of each other.
But on a more somber note, Mitch, we have to address the development that
has rocked this year's Tournament of Champions.
Of course, the shocking news that Commissioner Susser
unexpectedly passed away.
Which I think our guest didn't know that evidence.
I think our guest learned, yeah, our friend died.
Anyway.
Oh my god.
Why ain't nobody told me?
I told him not to go outside.
Well, I thought you said you were gonna get shot.
Let's just say there's a group that's pretty excited about it.
Worms, they're gonna be feasting for a really long time, Mikes.
Belly's full.
So as such-
Thanksgiving for the worms.
There is a void.
We need a new Munch Madness Commissioner.
The process for selecting a new commissioner
is underway via a comm-clave.
So we now, once again, go live to Vatican City
with Amelia Moreno.
Hi, Amelia.
Thanks, Wikes.
As reported on Tuesday's Doughboy's Double,
the comm-clave continues,
but still no resolution on a new commissioner.
Has there been any action you've observed from your position outside the Vatican?
Yes.
Earlier a delivery driver arrived with a very, very large order of Firehouse subs.
And then a little bit later the plumbers arrived, possibly to unclog the comclave toilets.
But that is purely speculation.
Now Amelia.
I heard Lamar say say what's the Vatican?
Did he say Vatican? It is the Vatican. Amelia my understanding is at the Vatican the gathered
Chartenles will elect one of their own to be the new commissioner. Who are some of the top candidates?
One name that's come up a lot in informed circles is Chartnall Dutton.
Wow.
However, he is dogged by rumors that he's not actually celibate.
No.
In fact, a quote unquote fuck machine.
Yeah, no, he's not a motherfucker.
Yeah, that's cool.
Yeah, yeah.
And then there's this Chartnall Johnston, aka the Knife.
She commands authority by virtue of scaring all the beta male shartinals, but a
Canadian Commissioner come on get real. Yeah, we hate Canada now, man
You know what I mean we've talked about before but there were putting tariffs on doughboys Canadian listeners if they the patron
But sources tell us that a new figure has emerged as a possible consensus candidate little is known
about him except that he seems to be eating off all the Chartenle's plates
Mitch I'm looking at the silhouette now trying to puzzle out who this could be
Grimace maybe I think it's maybe Frankenberry.
Probably Frankenberry.
Yeah, probably Frankenberry.
Well, one thing's for certain.
This new candidate, whoever it is,
doesn't have a secret.
I'm sure none of them have secrets.
Well, Amelia, thank you so much for the update.
I'm sorry, Weiger.
Uh, I have to interrupt.
Steam is starting to come out of the Vatican.
Oh my god.
Oh my god. Do we have a new commissioner?
We may have a new commissioner.
Wow.
What color is the steam, Amelia?
You have a better vantage point
from just outside the building.
Is it white?
Negative.
Negative.
It's green.
Green steam?
Oh my god, green is steam?
This means they did elect a new commissioner,
but he turned out to be a gator
Gator
Is Jimmy at the Vatican with you?
In excitement that we have a new commissioner elected but
Unfortunately a gator can't legally be commissioner so they're gonna have to take
another vote.
I think I accidentally sucked that gator off earlier Nick.
Yeah me too, we'll talk about it.
Well Amelia-
I went and I got, they were like we're out of communion wafers and I was like alright
and he was like you can suck me off though and I said okay so I sucked him off.
Where'd he get that?
Where'd he get it?
Where'd he get it?
It was kind of ambiguously under the robe, so you assumed it was a man.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah.
Anyone would.
Amelia, thank you so much.
As any journalist might be asked at the end of their segment, do you have any plugs?
Yeah.
There's actually a movie that came out in 2024, which you might find helpful for understanding
the conclave.
It's called Conclave.
Oh.
Oh, wow. That's my one. Yeah, I've heard about that, yeah. It's called conclave. Oh. Oh.
Wow, right.
Yeah, I've heard about that, yeah.
Amelia Moreno, everyone.
All right, Mitch, you have a drop to play.
Wow, I never heard about that.
I just saw my line.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Mitch, you have a drop to play.
I do, I just hit him with it, Emma.
Here we go.
I will say that like, for this dumb podcast,
your chime goes off, it's fine. Do how often does a fault do you get the false alarm
will you shut the fuck up it rarely ever goes off better or something like that
so what is going on there was a bird in my back wow as much as time as Mitch's
phone goes on it is just my neighbors wow what's going on how many episodes do
you have to do that was a delivery?
Twice Rogan's at my place. I'm thinking of when this is insane fucking believe it's just Wally leaving on his own
That was I can
Well, they did it already
It's funny that he asked, and then they
played a thing that probably could
get us mad at each other.
I mean, I was mad at you when you first were upset about it.
But it didn't even happen on the podcast
yet when you were saying stuff about it.
I don't want to get into it.
Drops at birdfuck.com.
I was just going to say, I don't even
care about interrupting the podcast.
I think it's fine. I'm a little worried that you're maybe just paranoid.
And that's the thing that worries me.
Which is that comes from-
You're a little paranoid.
No, I mean, I just, just like that you're like,
I can't leave my house unattended for a, you know,
a stretch while I'm working.
I'm just, I just worry that that is maybe, you know.
I will, if something happened a while in my life,
I'd hunt whoever it was down John Wick's style,
fucking destroy them.
That's all I gotta say.
And that's okay, right?
More like John Thicke?
Papa John Wick?
There's a couple ways to play it.
Let's introduce our guest.
Happy St. Patrick's Day, Wags.
Happy St. Patrick's Day.
I quickly wanna say that I didn't realize this,
but the corn, beef, and cabbage in Boston,
I told you this, the New England style, is gray.
Yeah, it's gray.
The corn, beef is gray.
And everywhere else, it's red.
And I just want to address this,
because I didn't realize it was a regional thing.
Why?
Why is it gray?
No nitrates.
No nitrates.
No nitrates, okay. So it's less appealing to the eye,
but it's maybe a little bit more, you know.
I always liked the gray corn,
but I didn't even realize that that was just a regional.
I think that's the way it is in Ireland too, honestly.
I don't mind the gray,
because we certainly talked about gray ET on here.
Emma, what was your gray ET pitch?
Oh shit, what was it?
It was a gray ET versus- Oh, it was gray ET versus ET's red finger? It's an interesting debate. I think I'd probably go with the finger, because gray ET's unwell.
So you would eat ET's finger before you would eat gray ET?
Oh, we're eating these things.
I thought we were just picking them.
Well, I was thinking like the corned beef was gray corned beef versus red corned beef,
and I was like gray ET versus ET's red finger?
Got it.
I think we're going to do a gray versus red corned beef episode.
We'll figure it out.
And you're going to do a gray versus red corned beef episode.
I think we're going to do a gray versus red corned beef episode.
I think we're going to do a gray versus red corned beef episode.
I think we're going to do a gray versus red corned beef episode.
I think we're going to do a gray versus red corned beef episode.
I think we're going to do a gray versus red corned beef episode.
I think we're going to do a gray versus red corned beef episode.
I think we're going to do a gray versus red corned beef episode.
I think we're going to do a gray versus red corned beef episode.
I think we're going to do a gray versus red corned beef episode.
I think we're going to do a gray versus red corned beef episode.
I think we're going to do a gray versus red corned beef episode. I think we're going to do a gray versus red corned beef episode. I think we're going to do a gray versus red corned beef episode. I think we're going to do a gray beef versus red corned beef. I think we're gonna do an episode. And that was like gray ET versus ET's red finger.
Got it.
I think we're gonna do a gray versus red corned beef episode.
We'll figure it out.
And you're gonna come and hang with us at Tamil Shantar after this.
How fun will that be?
I'm interested in seeing if it will be.
We'll see what happens.
It's gonna be fun.
It's gonna be a great time.
It's gonna be fun.
And you know what else is gonna be great and gonna be fun?
Having two of our favorite guests.
We got a big one.
Together on the podcast from XOXO Gossip Kings,
Carl Tart and Lamar Woods.
Carl, Lamar, thank you so much for being here.
Oh my gosh.
What a change.
What happened?
It has been way too long.
Too long.
Too long, yeah.
I agree with Carl.
This is, I can't believe that.
So to the listener, I was banned from the show.
Oh yeah, he talks about it all the time when we're hanging out.
I was shadow banned.
I didn't know.
So I'm showing up every day and I just can't get in the studio.
But they're telling me, they're like, yo, show up.
Where you at?
And I'm like, I'm outside.
And they're like, okay, we're coming.
And then nobody shows up to the door to let me in.
Yeah.
It's like how Disney fires you.
Your key card just doesn't work.
That's how Disney fires you?
Yeah. Oh shit.
Freddie got fired from Disney.
He found out he scanned his card and it didn't work.
And then he called and they were like,
someone will be down.
And then someone came down and like escorted him
to their office and take all their shit.
Wait, who is this?
Freddie?
Who did you say?
Yeah, it was Freddie.
Freddie Kugler.
Freddie got fired.
Freddie got fired.
Freddie got fired.
He was going into people's dreams after John was, Freddie was Freddie. Freddie got fired? Freddie got fired. Freddie got fired? He was going after people's dreams after John was, uh, Freddie got fired.
He wasn't opening a dress code either.
Donny, would you like some sausage?
Donny, would you like some sausage?
Bitch.
There's a friend from high school who later got a job at Disney.
Oh, your friend Freddie?
No, his name is, I said friend, not Freddie.
Oh, sorry.
I'm not saying his name intentionally. Yeah, go on. Who was it? I forgot friend, not Freddy. Oh, sorry. Yeah. I'm not saying his name intentionally.
Yeah, go on.
Who was it?
I forgot what I was saying.
Oh, it's just you've been shadow banned.
But you haven't.
This hasn't actually been the case.
Part of the reason we haven't had you on the podcast
is because you've been in New York City.
Oh, come on.
Welcome to New York.
I've been in a little bit.
Oh, your friend.
I've been in New York City.
What were you about to say?
His friend, your friend Harvey from your friend Harvey.
Yeah, Harvey had a red. Which one of your friends York City. What we must say his friend your friend Harvey from your friend
So when I work that dizzy ain't tell me that problem
Who's your friend that work at Disney? I have a I have a I have a Disney I got a Disney movie pitch Oh, go for my pitch mine I got one too. I'll pitch mine out the earth.
Or at the very least, this is an MTV Movie Awards sketch.
Okay, great.
Or an Hey, an SNL sketch.
Do they still do the MTV Movie Awards?
I don't think so.
I wrote for it once.
I maybe killed it.
Maybe that was the issue.
It got wider in the room.
I wrote for it once too.
It could have been either one of us.
It can't be an SNL sketch.
Once you tell me, I'm legally not allowed to use it.
However, you will see it on the show next week.
Wow. Andorra. And next week. Andorra, a Nora set in Star Wars universe.
Okay.
Okay, wait, so.
I thought it was gonna be like a Nora in.
It's got strippers in it still?
On Pennora.
Like a young Twi'lek.
Okay, I like this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like Twi'lek's the dancers in Jabba's Palace.
Like a Gungan Prince or whatever
You know what I mean, and they asked Marrior right that's why Dora I
Like it Mitch. Holy shit. You know what would happen if I was in the SL room. Here's what Laura would say he would go
Well, the good thing is there's always next week. I
Think they could maybe be a family guy cutaway gag I don't know if you had that door could be a family guy cutaway gag.
I don't know if that gets sustainable.
And Dora could be a family guy cutaway gag, which you love family guys.
It's like the time I went to Andora.
That's it?
Holy moly.
Oh, shit.
What's your Disney movie fish?
Oh, okay.
I need a title.
I didn't think of a title yet.
So basically it's a girl who has one of those like dog, like a, the emotional support dogs. But
she needs it because she's like, you know, it has anxiety and all types of stuff. And
then they go on the plane and you know how the planes is crashing all the time and stuff.
So the plane goes down and it ended up in like a, in the forest or the woods and she's
separated from her service dog and she's got to find the dog, dog got to find her in the forest or the woods. She's separated from her service dog
and she's gotta find the dog,
the dog's gotta find her in the woods.
I love it.
It's animated?
No, it's like a real live action.
Oh, shit's real.
Oh, I love that.
Yeah, yeah.
And then they find each other
and then they realize they don't need each other anymore.
Wait, that's like figure out?
They go their separate ways?
Yeah, it's like, I don't need you no more.
But they both use- I did this shit on my own.
They both build separate homesteads in the woods.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think they, because they had each other,
they learned how they could each survive on their own.
Oh, that's better.
I think that's the best.
But I love that story.
I don't feel like they don't make kids movies
like that anymore, like an incredible journey.
Yeah, like Homeward Bound.
Yeah, yeah.
Those kind of movies.
Yeah, I was thinking we could be like, cool.
Like, do you have a title for me?
I saw Milo and Otis in theater instead of Back to the Future 3.
I was just saying, I saw it on the Sloppy Boys podcast.
Yeah.
My sister and my cousin went and saw Back to the Future 3 and we went and saw Milo and
Otis, which I think.
Yeah, they're hold up?
How was it?
I mean, well, I went when I was like 10 years old or whatever.
Did it hold up then?
Then?
Yes, because it was a re-release, Wags.
Oh, wow.
It's a really Japanese movie,
and I do think that there were some animal,
I think there were some animal issues on that movie.
Oh, yeah, there's some dogs got parvo or something, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That happened on one of the buddies movies too,
like Treasure Buddies or something.
Yes.
Because the dogs got sick.
Yeah, yeah.
Joel said, yeah, title for that.
I'm thinking Andorra.
That's perfect.
Lamar, we were talking before.
You wanna talk more about Treasure Buddies
when all the dogs got sick?
Yeah, that's not happening on my movie.
Don't look it up.
It wasn't Treasure Buddies,
it was one of the Buddies movies.
That was one of the ones
with all the golden retriever puzzles.
Oh, right.
Okay.
Lamar, we were talking before we began,
and this is a thing I've started doing lately,
way too late with the podcast,
but you mitigated the indulgence of this meal
with a healthy counterweight.
You had a salad before you came to the studio.
That was smart.
Yes, yes. I had a salad and it was so good, too.
Can I say where it was?
Yeah.
It was from this place, Tartine.
Oh, yeah, Tartine, sure.
It was like, it was low-key simple walnuts and a little bre-beets.
And I felt great.
So it kind of balanced me out before I got here.
And we made you feel like shit when you got here.
Yeah, now I feel awful.
I bring at least a piece of fruit to the studio.
Like that's my thing I do these days.
Either have an apple or a banana
and I just have that pregame.
But it's like-
You love to rub it in my fucking face.
It's a, Mitch, it's an easy thing to do.
It's an easy, so the first bite of food you're having
in the day is not some-
I saw you had a banana.
Exactly.
Some garbage.
I did have a banana, that's right.
Mm-hmm.
And I had a salad at home earlier, actually.
Oh, really?
I gotta get better at making salads.
I feel like it's kinda hard.
I like making salads, but I also just like,
I do a minute, you can do a minimum amount of like prep
earlier in the week and then just have some cut up
like cucumbers or radishes or whatever,
just to toss them into the spring.
Well, you look great.
People say you're looking,
Oh, that's nice.
Yeah, yellow, yellow, yellow.
Mitch, you're also looking great.
Everyone's looking good.
You look, yeah, you're looking young, Wiggs.
I'm trying.
Cuck Everlasting.
You're Channing Tatum.
Yeah.
That's a good title for the movie.
Cuck Everlasting?
Yeah, yeah, what's that?
That's my Disney movie, I just don't want it.
Uh.
Have you seen the Tuck Everlasting movie?
No. No. It's crazy, I'm gonna spoil the ending of Tuck Everlasting movie? No.
It's crazy, I'm gonna spoil the ending of Tuck Everlasting.
So it's like a family that everyone, what's that?
He gets cucked.
He gets cucked in a sense, Mitch, because the idea-
All right, can't grow.
The whole family is immortal.
It's like a family of immortals, right?
And then a mortal girl meets them
and through some sort of bond, they're able to be like,
hey, you can choose to be immortal if you like.
And there...
So wasn't it a well or something that they drank?
Yeah, it's like a well they drank from.
Yeah, I think.
And so anyway, the guy is like, to the woman,
to the female love interest is like,
if you choose to be immortal,
I'll meet you back here at this spot,
like, you know, whatever in 20 years
or a hundred years or whatever it is. But I'll give you back here at this spot, like, you know, whatever in 20 years or a hundred years
or whatever it is, but I'll give you some time to decide."
And they separate.
Then it cuts to the future, it cuts to like present day.
And it's like, you know, it's all set in the 19th century
with horses and now he's got a motorcycle
and he shows up in modern clothes
to the spot where they're supposed to meet
and it's her grave.
She chose to be buried at the spot
so that that's how we would find out.
Isn't that crazy?
What is this movie about?
It's about like a family of immortals
that just like live a simple life in the woods
and then a normal, like a mortal girl
like stumbles upon them and like learns their secret.
Is Tuck young?
Tuck is young.
Yeah, see, that's no good.
Tuck is young, but then he's, it's like a nuclear family.
There's like a mom and a dad and two kids.
If you drank for that well around 30 or so,
you're in good shape, I feel like. If you drank for that well around 30 or so,
you're in good shape, I feel like.
But you don't want to do, you know,
you don't got pubes yet.
He's, no, he's not that young.
He's got pubes.
Oh, he does.
They established that?
Yeah, they have an extreme closeup of teenagers' pubes.
What is the perfect age you think you should drink
from the fountain of youth?
I'm gonna say 27.
27's pretty good.
That guy was in my prime in 27.
Yeah.
27's not bad.
I could still dunk a basketball.
Yeah.
I was still like, I was much thinner.
Like I think that was 27 is good.
27's a good.
27's a good.
I maybe would do just straight up 30 to drink
at the just the fountain of stopping growth.
Yeah, he's got a little wisdom now.
He's like, I know some stuff, seen some stuff.
Yeah, 30s good.
I was definitely doing okay at 30,
but I think I would've skewed a little younger.
I mean, the best shape I was ever in in my life
when I was like 22, but that feels a little young.
I feel like I wasn't fully formed.
Yeah, no shit that seems a little young.
22's a little young, stupid at 22.
You're dumb at 22. I was dumb, I was dumb as shit.
I also, 22 was when I first started to notice
that my hair was going.
Okay.
Cause I walked in front of a CVS security camera
and I was like, huh, my head is shiny.
Yeah.
Okay, I'm 22, I'll live forever.
You were trying to think of like a time
where you could just, you could get away with a big lolly.
You want to try to figure out something about a lollipop.
Can I ask you, Carl, about dunking? What's it like up there?
Yeah, what's it like up there?
How's the air up there?
Tell us about it.
Yeah, what's the air up there?
You know what, no matter how successful I become in life,
I will always sit and dream about
dunking in a basketball game.
Do you, to you as a dunker,
is it a more satisfying dunk with one hand or two hands?
Or is it contextual?
Contextual.
Okay, got it.
Cause catching like, like I've dunked in game dunks
with two hands where like a rebound that I got high enough
to catch the rebound and just put it back in.
Oh, that's awesome.
But on a fast break, like dunking just with one hand.
Yeah.
Also, dunking and pulling the ball back.
Oh, that's what I like.
Pure power.
Yeah.
And I was never like, I couldn't do, I did like one 180 one time in a layup line.
I never did that in a game.
That's crazy.
But I was a two foot jumper, so I didn't, on fast break, I would have to like
gather both feet and that would like,
it was like strong to dunk with two.
So if I dropped stepped and then turned and dunked with two,
it was like, yeah, I'm stronger than you.
You chest bumped a guy that you just like kind of dunk near.
Maybe, and dunking on people was also fun too.
Yeah.
Are you doing an alley-oop?
Yeah, yeah, I'm caught an alley-oop? Yeah, yeah, you caught an alley-oop.
And I'm gonna cry, I'm old now.
Do you think you could dunk?
If it was like, I have the goal of dunking again,
do you think you could do it?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Yeah, because I can still touch the rim.
I just can't get the ball over anymore.
Right.
Wow.
I remember when Wu Tang used to do back flip,
he could do a standing back flip.
I remember as he got older and a little bigger,
his head was coming very close to scraping the ground.
As he was doing the back flip.
It sucks to grow old and lose that type of ability.
It really does.
And I know, and there's this guy online.
It really does?
What the fuck are you talking about?
No, I mean, it's just your body.
I talk all the time.
No, your body just decaying, you know?
It's just, yeah.
And so fast.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
It happens like that.
You're like, whoa, what the fuck?
Because it's like, I can still play.
It's just, I can't play at the same level that I used to.
And imagine what that feels like for NBA players.
Yeah.
Imagine what LeBron feels like after a game.
Right.
Oh, man, yeah.
And he's still playing at such a high level.
Imagine what he feels like after the game.
Like, he's probably crying in his wine glass.
BOTH LAUGHING
Looking at, like, looking at his son
coming to the locker room.
BOTH LAUGHING
Ronnie's dick's probably bigger than his.
BOTH LAUGHING
Come here, Ronnie, come sit on my lap.
Come over here, man. Hey, man, that's my...
Hey, get out the shower.
BOTH LAUGHING
Ronnie's like, what's going on, Dad?
Ronnie's in the prime of his life.
He's like, man, look at you.
You think you something, huh?
You think you real something.
And let's wrestle right now.
You know, you wouldn't be on this team
if it wasn't for me.
You know that, right?
Can Ronnie dunk?
Hell yeah, he can dunk.
Oh, yeah, he can dunk.
OK, then he's doing all right.
Then he's doing all right.
Is dunking like singing where I used to think you were born?
You can do it or you can't.
But can you learn to dunk? Yeah, you can learn it or you can't but can you like learn to dunk?
Yeah, you can learn it. Absolutely. You can learn it though. Let's look up the knees over toes guy knees over
That's the real thing. Yeah, these are on Instagram knees over toes
He's got it taught himself to dunk you can absolutely teach yourself how to dunk
But there were natural like my friend shout out Stanley man. My friend Stanley that I went to palms middle school with
Demi I went to
that I went to Palm's middle school with. Who was that?
Who was that?
I went to, they worked at the same time.
Harvey W.
Harvey W.
Harvey W.
If Harvey W could dunk.
He'd dunk his way to Disney.
He'd inject him, he'd have to inject himself with something.
He had one injector to get it so that he could get an erection.
He had one to dunk.
And he never wanted to mix up the two.
No, yeah.
Yeah, that would be huge dunk. And he never wanted to mix up the two. No, yeah, that'd be bad too.
Huge mess.
Yes.
Is it the substance?
He did have some sort of substance.
There's awful things about, if you read about Harvey Weinstein,
which was like he had an ejector to get him,
like he injected himself and then he got a boner.
Everything you read about him,
he just sounds like he was a literal monster.
Like obviously the way he, the things he did, but also, like, physically.
Like, one of the descriptions of him was, like, he had, like,
basically effectively, like, a carapace,
like a tortoise shell's worth of blackheads.
Just like it was, like, his whole blackhead.
Jesus Christ. Oh, my God.
And then also, yeah, his...
I'm gonna get that injector out of his estate still.
So, once that thing goes up, I'm getting that bad boy.
Well, there's also a point where just someone said,
like, yeah, he has no penis or balls.
Like, he basically just has, like, a weird, like, lump
where it used to be.
He's a eunuch?
Yeah.
Oh my god.
He's possibly a eunuch.
Throw up, bro.
It's really disgusting.
Stanley Cadunk in sixth grade.
That's amazing.
When we were 11 years, 11, 12 years old, Stanley Cadunk.
And this other kid, Mark, could dunk in eighth grade.
Those are the first two people that,
and they both were like, Stanley was like,
when we got to sixth grade, I was probably like five, nine, five, 10.
He was like my height and he could dunk.
And that was always tight.
I didn't dunk until 11th grade.
Some people are just like, have a thing they can do.
Like they're just like incredible leapers. It doesn't really make any physical sense, but it's just like a thing they're able to do. Like they're just like incredible leapers.
It doesn't really make any physical sense,
but it's just like a thing they're able to do.
Yeah, he never made the basketball team.
He wasn't that good.
I got obsessed with Eminem, right?
And he drove his girlfriend up the river.
Yeah, he drove his girlfriend up the river.
And then what's crazy was Eminem came to our school
and delivered a letter to him the next week.
And we were all like, oh, Em, we got bad news.
You're, I'm not gonna, this would make you mad to say this.
Yes.
I was about to say you're a New York guy now.
You're not a New York guy.
This makes me so fucking mad.
That's, how have things been in New York?
Are you?
I'm getting used to it, man.
Yeah, yeah.
I recently learned, one day I was sitting down
to have a cocktail.
And I was like, man, it would be nice to go to Arby's
around here.
And there's no Arby's where I frequent in New York.
Yeah.
And I was pissed about that.
Because they took them out of LA New York. Yeah. And I was pissed about that. Mm. Cause they took them out of LA too.
Yeah.
Yeah, the closest Arby's is in Inglewood I think.
Yeah.
So close street is now the big Arby sign on Sunset
is now Prince Street.
The famous Hollywood Arby's which closed last year.
And that's a bummer.
That's one of the worst things about New York
is they don't have Arby's.
Right.
Cause I like Arby's quite a bit
And everybody's like messaging me being like you gotta go to
Fucking Queens and I go I'm not going over there for Arby's shut the fuck up
I wonder where I can get it. Do you have that beef coat that they gave you I still got it Wow I still got the full suit someone found that in a in a goodwill and I thought it was yours
But I'm sure that there's been more than one beef coat. Yeah, that's probably been more than one. I think I still got the full suit someone found that in a in a goodwill and I thought it was yours But I'm sure that there's been more than one beef coat. Yeah, that's probably been more than one
I think I still got it
That might have been mine. It may have could have been yours
I might have gotten rid of cuz I'm like when am I ever gonna wear this I got my I got the picture out of
It maybe I did maybe that was mine. It's possible
I'm sad that I'm sad that there's no longer. I mean a lot of people like Prince Street
We haven't reviewed it on the show ever,
but I did like that big hat Arby's on.
Yeah, man.
It was like a staple of that neighborhood.
Yeah.
Well, other than that, New York sucks.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. They always got a fucking excuse for everything. You know what I'm gonna tell you? Honestly, I've got my routine.
I'm doing fine there.
But it is just like, ugh.
You've been a catfish.
You're doing way better than I thought you would.
When I went out there, I was like,
I was adjusting to this New York life very well.
I'm a malleable dude.
I'm flubber.
I can be anywhere at any time. And fit right in. Nobody knows I'm a malleable dude. I'm flubber. I can be anywhere at any time.
And fit right in.
Nobody knows I'm there.
I've been to so many weddings and nobody knows I'm there.
The thing about New York is like,
everything is just so chaotic.
You know what I mean?
Everything takes so much more effort
than what it does here.
Everything.
Have you been to Cat's Deli? No. no who you're gonna go to Katz deli have you seen a Bob Oden

You know your own city that where you live right now But like it says there's the Arby's website says there's an 8th Avenue
Location close permanent close permanently close because I got a lot of messages about that too
Why was this you trying to go? Is this a gotcha?
I got a lot of messages about that too. Wow.
What is this, you're trying to,
is this a gotcha moment with Carl?
No, I'm trying to help.
I'm trying to help.
It was a gotcha moment from Doughboy's fans.
Well, that's not surprising at all.
It was a gotcha moment from Doughboy's.
They were DMing me so much.
Yeah.
Dude, there's one right in midtown,
right by where you work.
First of all, bitch, you don't know where I work.
I could be lying.
I could totally be lying.
I don't know where I work. You don't know where I work.
You don't know where I fucking work?
This one right by your job.
You don't know what my job is, bro.
I'm a fucking postal worker in Long Island.
You don't know what my job is.
That's number one.
Number two, you don't think I Google that?
You don't think I Googled that? You don't think I Googled that?
You think I'm that dumb that I'm just gonna say something?
I don't just say stuff to say stuff.
Do you like that Esa Bagel right near 30 Rock?
Who?
The Esa Bagel.
I ain't been there.
I don't think I've been there.
That's pretty good.
I like Esa Bagel.
Esa Bagel's pretty good.
There's another Bagel's place that we go to,
Black Seed or something like that.
Okay, I haven't been there.
And that was pretty good.
Yeah.
Are you a bagel guy?
Here's my thing about bagels. It's gonna be controversial.
I could get killed for saying this.
Oh, shit.
Bagels taste the same.
Wow.
Bagels, first of all, I only like cream cheese on a bagel.
Yeah.
I don't need all the bells and whistles. I don't need all that other stuff.
Yeah. I mostly agree with you. I sometimes like a schmear that's got like some scallions in it.
Yeah, I'll do a flavored cream cheese.
And sometimes I'll do some butter instead of cream cheese.
But I do just like a spread.
Oh, you do butter instead of cream cheese.
So here's what you got to do to make it real good.
When you tell them to toast it, tell them
to toast it with the butter on it.
Then put the cream cheese.
And then you cook it with Crisco.
I don't like all the.
Crisco?
No, it's a term of phrase.
Got it.
I know this is crazy to say, but...
What the fuck you talking about?
I'm happy Susser is dead to not hear this thing.
Hey, how did he die?
What happened to him?
He got the jab.
I already, I knew it.
I told Susser.
I told Susser.
I told Susser.
I said, as soon as he posted it on his Instagram,
that white card, I said, Susser, you fucked
up.
You'll be gone within five years.
Lamar, where do you stand on bagels?
I was like, I didn't like them that much.
And then I started doing the lox and stuff.
I never thought I would like it, but I love that shit with the lox.
And then with the cream cheese, all that,
and the tomato.
Yeah, and once you dress it up and stuff,
it's an experience.
What was your morning, you're going to school,
what was like your morning on the go,
because bagels for me were that forever.
Toast and strudel.
I was a cereal all day.
Cereal, yeah.
But even when you were in a rush,
toast and strudel was another one I would do.
Toast and strudel.
I love toast and strudels.
Pop tarts, we have a big pop tart debate on the pod.
So we can talk about, this is a perfect place to talk about this.
Yeah, I wonder what y'all think.
It was in the studio.
Lamar thinks that unfrosted pop tarts are better than the frosted ones.
Yeah.
Wow.
Very serious.
Very serious about that.
The Jerry Seinfeld question.
Do we like unfrosted?
Unfrosted.
Yes.
I think... Were you guys, was anyone in that movie before we... Jerry Seinfeld question. Do we like unfrosted? Unfrosted. Yes.
I think.
Were you guys, was anyone in that movie before we came?
I wasn't.
Drew Tarver was in it.
Drew was in it, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
We like Drew.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That really sounded like we don't.
I know, we.
We love Drew.
We love Drew.
We love Drew Tarver.
He's afraid because he shits on the movie
all the time. Shits on on the movie all the time.
He shits on unfrosted all the time.
I'm telling you, I'm fair.
The movie didn't work for me.
But the, the, the, um, unfrosted versus frosted.
It just feels like extra, it just, you don't need it.
It's such a good thing without frost.
Like, do you have a favorite flavor of Pop Tar?
Yes.
Strawberry, yeah, it's the classic.
You have your strawberry Pop Tar but with no frosting.
Yeah, yeah.
Non-blueberry with frosted.
Strawberry unfrosted will hit.
Like that's like a good.
See, I was a cinnamon sugar one and it was frosted.
That's frosted by default.
I don't think you can get that at school.
I like that one when I don't toast.
Like when I used to go to school and some kid would have it,
I'd eat that, yeah.
I need them toasted,
but I think toaster strudels are superior to Pop Tarts.
Toaster strudels were superior to Pop Tarts.
Remember the Philadelphia Cream Cheese bars?
The, the, the, the, the strawberry.
I remember your Philadelphia Cream Cheese bars.
Get your shit together.
Philadelphia Cream Cheese bars.
Classic moment.
Hey, when PFT says that nothing happens at a Doughboy show,
something happened once.
What do you mean?
We got up and sang that shit.
And, uh, that was fun.
The drunk guy did climb on stage. You were there for that one, too, weren't you. You were there for that one? I was there for that one.
I was there for every moment.
You saw snow.
I saw snow for the first time, or multiple times.
So heavy snow for the first time.
Yes, yeah.
Yeah, and shout out to Royal Oak, Michigan.
Royal Oak Musical.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't remember that at all.
I remember every show we've ever done.
We're being in an enclosed van with a COVID-y Mike Mitchell. Drinking a little Jarmuish.
I was pulling pepperoni slices off of his pizza when I, but you know what? I didn't get the jab,
so I'm still around. Yeah. That's why you're still alive right now. Rest in peace, my man.
I think I had to say I like frosted.
I think this might be couch to couch.
Couch to couch.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, just go ahead and.
I would say, I would know.
I like the take because I don't think you need the frosting.
I think a pop tart, especially toasted.
The strawberry and frosted is good.
I agree with that.
And so if that's the argument, yeah, I'm with you.
Have you ever put butter on a hot dog?
Cause if I'm gonna do frosted, I might as well do something
like something sweeter anyway.
Yes.
It's basically like a dessert at that point.
We gotta get you out to Glengarry.
Have you never seen the movie?
I've never seen the movie.
Great movie.
I watched the movie and I watched the movie.
I don't know why.
I didn't even know they were doing a play about it.
I wanna see Old Mary.
What's that?
Old Mary is, what's my name?
Cole. Not my man, what's that? Oh, Mary is, what's my name? Cole.
Not my man, my they, Cole Escola,
who wrote a show about Mary Todd Lincoln.
Oh, yes, you ever heard about this?
Oh, shit, yeah.
That's cool.
I think you would like,
I think Bob plays the Jack Lemmon role,
is my guess. Oh, that makes sense.
My understanding, and I've never seen the play, but my understanding is that the Alec
Baldwin role was added for the movie.
That's not in the play.
I don't know if they've retconned that into the Broadway production these days, but you
know.
An old Harold team, Coffee is for Closers, I think maybe before you guys got to the theater,
there was a team called Coffee is for Closers.
Oh yeah, sure.
Who was on there?
Let's name some names.
I feel like maybe, was Brian Husky on it?
That was a faculty team. It was a faculty team. It was like the it was Brian Husky on there? That was a faculty team.
It was like the people who were teaching at the time.
It was a good generation before us.
It was a great crew.
Was John Reynolds on there? I'm just going to throw out faculty.
Brian Finkelstein.
A lot of these guys were in there.
Seth Morris.
John Ross Bowie.
Sean Conroy.
Jack Carter was on there? Chad Carter, I think Eddie Daley ducked in there. Chad Carter was on there?
Yeah, yeah, good crew.
Oh, yeah, all white dudes.
Perfect, perfect team.
I'm going to New York next week.
I'm gonna come see you, Carl, and then,
but I'm going to, my girl wanna see the Dorian Gray,
I guess Dorian, home girl from Seventh,
not Seventh, from Succession is playing Dorian Gray. So I'm gonna come see that. Oh, cool. But now I'm like, dang, I guess Dorian, Homegirl from Severn, not Severn, from Succession is playing Dorian Gray.
So I'm gonna see that.
Oh, cool.
But now I'm like, dang, I kinda wanna see
the Glenn Glary Ross thing.
I think it's a tough ticket, but...
Bill Burr is in it too.
Yeah, yeah, Bill Burr is in it.
That's what I mean.
And Culkin, Culkin's in it as well.
Here in Culkin.
Wow.
Oh, wow.
All them in there?
It was a different time at UCB,
I just wanna get that out of the way.
Oh, I love all those people you named.
They're all great.
I mean, that was the time that you thrived, didn't you?
Yeah.
I'm not running around with you.
You guys, it's before you guys got there.
That was the time.
We were there.
We were there.
Y'all just didn't know.
I'm not wearing...
When they gonna put you on, Carl?
I don't know.
We gotta wait.
I'll just tell you eventually.
I'm not wearing Muk-Baga hats or anything like that.
Make UCB great again hats and shit like that.
Muk-Baga.
Oh my God.
That's hilarious.
Muk-Baga.
Make UCB great again.
Make UCB great again.
All right, I have a story to tell.
I gotta tell this.
I was at Red Lion with one other person.
I actually won't even say
who the other person is, and we were talking about
writing and the industry and stuff,
and DEI stuff came up, and not in a bad way, to be clear.
We were just talking about, we were actually talking
about people getting online, getting mad at DEI,
we're making fun of it, and then we were talking
at the end of the night, and Lamar goes,
this is in the red line,
he goes, you know what, you guys are right, DEI sucks.
And he says it out loud, and he left the bar,
and me and another white guy are standing there,
and we're like, Lamar, you can't yell out DEI sucks to us,
and then walk out the door.
Have a great night, y'all.
See y'all later.
I'm really glad we had this conversation.
I'll leave y'all to it.
Everybody in Redline just all looked at us,
and we were like, that's not what you think it is.
I love these guys.
It was fun.
All fun.
Everything we're saying was fun.
DEI.
DEI.
Yeah, not much going on in early UCB days.
I want to hear Nick's transition. DEI. Yeah, not much going on in early UCB days. Yeah.
I wanna hear Nick's transition. Speaking of DEI. We're increasing from this tournament, Mitch. Munch Madness 10, the tournament of tournament of champions, of champions, Totcock.
We are in the thick of it.
We are in the final fork.
The rules as decreed by the late Commissioner Susser.
Who was it?
Was it Shear or Zooks who said, it was Zooks.
Thank you Zooks for Totcock.
I think there's actually an extra O in there, but it sounds better.
It's more sonorous as Totcock.
Tournament of tournament, TOT, champions of champions, COC.
I think that's what he was doing.
Yes, yeah. Totcock. Totcock.
That sounds like a Boston person talking about my meat.
Totcock. Yeah, yeah.
Let me see your totcock. Let me see your totcock.
Kyle Totcock.
Rule number one, there are no rules.
The most beautiful accents in the world.
That's right. Just like Outback Steakhouse this year, it's no rules just right. Rule number two, there are no rules. So the most beautiful accents in the world. Yes. That's right, just like Outback Steakhouse this year,
it's no rules just right.
Rule number two, there actually are some rules.
Rule number three, everyone is here.
Every winner of every past tournament of champions
is represented in Munch Madness 10.
Rule number four, you gotta dance with the one
who brought ya.
Your ticket in is your meal ticket.
If a restaurant has multiple categories of food
on its menu, only the category it qualified for is eligible.
As a way of example, the winner of the pizza tournament, Domino's, can only enter with pizza,
not wings or pasta, etc. Rule number five, one on fun. Every matchup will be a one-on-one matchup
with each guest getting to pick one item from the competing chains. Rule number six, the Roger
Rabbit slash Judge Doom rule. Dip gets the slip, sauce is at a loss. You can use sauce,
but you can't evaluate sauce in your review. Rule number seven, the dais is denied. The dais, AKA the producer's desk's opinions
on the competing chains are not to be considered during the tournament. No exceptions. If this
rule is violated, the commissioner reserves the right to eject members of the dais.
Well, the commissioner is dead. First of all, second of all, Casey did decide the entirety.
That brings us to rule number eight. I just want to say this, Casey has a Kickstarter
for his movie.
If you liked his decision, you should give to it.
If you didn't like his decision, don't give a dime
to his Kickstarter.
If you liked his decision, which agreed
with Mitch's decision, you both picked In-N-Out,
and In-N-Out won, and then you were mad about it.
Rule number eight, Ty goes to the runner.
If there's a tie, host and or guest can agree
to do a foot race around Headgum to decide which side wins,
or they can opt for a deus ex machina,
which would be letting the deus decide which is the rule
that was invoked on that episode.
I want to do a foot race.
The rule will then cancel out rule number seven.
We'll talk about it.
That's a big block.
Yeah.
Oh, we're going to do it inside the studio.
There's no way.
We're not doing it inside the studio.
It will be our final episode if we win around the block.
Oh, I can go around the block.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. Rule number nine, hate has no plate here.
Chick-fil-A is officially banned from the tournament,
even though it didn't qualify in the first place,
so this is just grandstanding.
And rule number 10, I'll have what he's having,
AKA the Billy Crystal rule,
and each round the commissioner reserves the right
to have one of the host's exact meals.
We're going to have Amelia drop off an order to his,
I guess, to, grave site.
He's not buried yet.
I'm not going, regardless.
Yeah, we're not going.
We're not gonna go.
I just learned what the difference between a cemetery and a graveyard is.
Ooh, what's that?
I don't even...
So a cemetery is a city-planned plot of land that you buy plots to place your loved ones
in or your loved ones in.
Or your hated ones.
A graveyard is just like what's on the side of a church.
Where it's like.
Right.
Sure, in the backyard.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I didn't do that.
I didn't realize there was actually a distinction.
How about that?
Apparently casket and coffin, different meanings too.
Oh, what's the difference there?
I think a casket is like hinged.
And a coffin is like you put a whole piece on top of it.
I think.
We got the Mitchell plot where my dad is currently.
We got like seven more spots
if anybody wants to hang out in the.
Oh yeah.
I mean I think they bought a bunch to do there.
You're claiming a few of those.
I mean I think my mom was like,
we'll see how many Mike takes up when he goes.
Yeah.
How cold blooded him.
There's like, but there, we got like seven or so in there in the Mitchell plot.
I'm gonna dump it in there someday.
I'll hop in there.
It's way too cold.
I mean, I think that you should, I think you should be buried with me in the Mitchell plot.
The boys are buried together.
They got their hairlines.
My wife is buried separately.
On top of that, you all are buried like this.
Y'all on top of each other.
We're all on top of each other.
Butt to butt, nuts to nuts, butt's hot. Y'all wanna talk to each other all the time? Me and Faye, butt to butt, nuts to nuts,
butt to butt.
Natalie, when she dies long after you
with just the biggest smile,
the mortician is like trying to put her mouth down.
Laughter
It would be an honor to have you,
to rest eternally with me.
We'll figure it out.
Here are my...
Talk about it.
Here's what I want to start with.
Because two combatants were eliminated
on the way to this matchup.
Those combatants were Domino's and Jersey Mike's.
Carl Lamar, your thoughts on Domino's,
your thoughts on Jersey Mike's.
I believe there's some Papa John's fandom,
at least from you, Carl. Like, am I in big pizzerias?
I'm a big Papa John's guy, and that's because
I ate so much Domino's in high school.
We had Domino's at high school.
Every day you get a slice of pizza and load it with some really watery ranch that I'm
assuming was made from a powder that they made at the cafeteria in high school.
And they used to be so good.
Remember they changed the recipe.
They were like, guys, we messed up.
Like the Domino's, the cheese is stuck to the box.
Yeah. And the new recipe didn't do it for me. And that's when I became a Papa John's truth. messed up like the Domino's look the cheese is stuck to the box you know and
I can't the new recipe didn't do it for me and that's when I became a Papa John's
truth and some people say only this good about Papa John is the garlic sauce I
go it is very good but the Papa this the pizza the pizza the pizza the feet
Let me see those feet. Let me see those feet.
Let me see those feet.
Yeah, girls eating pizza with their feet.
It's my favorite OnlyFans.
I love that garlic sauce.
The garlic sauce is very good.
I hoard it and use it on other pizzas.
When I do get other pizzas.
Yeah, oft imitated, but no one else has really cracked it.
I am, however, going back to Domino's a little bit
because it's quick on Postmates.
Yeah.
The Domino's, it goes quick with the app too.
They get here, we ordered it for the tournament.
It was here too fast.
Yeah, a thin crust, you need a thin crust.
Sometimes they put it in there too long
and the cheese is a little bit too burnt.
And it's like, damn, Domino's always letting you down.
So I go Papa John's.
Jersey Mike's, however, is, I'm a huge Jersey Mike's guy.
It is my favorite sandwich like that.
You take it over firehouse subs now.
I do.
Wow.
I take it over firehouse subs.
And there's a firehouse near my house,
just like, there's a Jersey Mike's closer.
I could walk up to the firehouse
and it wouldn't be that much further of a walk,
another five minutes or so.
And yet I still, I prefer Jersey Mike's.
Also, they're Philly cheesesteak.
Their Philly is good.
No, their hot sandwiches are good.
Lamar, Jersey Mike's, Domino's, your opinion?
I like Domino's better.
I don't know why.
I mean, everything you said about Papa John's
made sense to me.
Actually, I think Papa John's was the very first episode
I did on the show.
Yeah, and I remember not liking it.
I remember being like, I'm over this place.
But Domino's hits.
It always just does what it needs to do.
It doesn't really like fail.
Same with Carl, I'm a Jersey Mike's all day.
I like the Mike's way.
I go there all the time.
Would you say you like Jersey Mike's better
than both restaurants we reviewed today?
Is that for both of you?
No.
Okay.
Oh, all right.
Interesting.
I wonder if you guys had a favorite going in today.
We don't have to say that.
I certainly, at my age,
I'm having Jersey Mike's more regularly.
Yes.
Because it's more delicate on my constitution.
But-
A turkey sub.
Yeah, exactly.
That turkey sub is good though.
Can we hear your order?
I do the number seven a lot, yeah, the turkey propo.
The seven, and how do you get it?
A Mike's way, and then I will usually add jalapenos
because I'm a bit of a heat seeker,
and then sometimes I'll do mayo.
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Sometimes I'll do mayo,
sometimes I'll do the cherry pepper relish.
Denny's.
Denny's. Sometimes I will do deli mustard, but it just depends.
I usually don't, like I've learned if I do more than two condiments, it just gets soupy,
especially with all the juice on there.
Can I give you my order?
Please.
I want to hear yours first though.
How do you do, what is your order?
Well you know that I'm on the big boy shot.
I told you guys this, right?
Oh, they got you on the jab on the OJ?
They got me on the new jab.
On the OJ?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm on that guy.
So now I do, this is a sad version of I do a mini,
but I do double meat on the mini,
and I do Mike's way, no olive oil, add mayo,
cherry pepper relish, add pickles, number seven.
That's what I do. So the no oil saves you like 200 calories, right?
It's like a crazy amount.
And then I do mayo.
I mean, like I do mayo instead, yeah.
Okay.
I will do, I actually generally will do extra meat.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I-
I'm fine with the amount of meat they put on it.
I get the turkey cheese, I go extra mayo,
regular amount of mustard, just like,
cause they, if you ask for mayo,
they just like do like a very thin,
almost like butter spread.
I'm like, oh man, give me a little bit more mayo, come on.
And then, but the mustard comes in a squeeze bottle.
So they just do one little thing.
I go salt and pepper, hold the oil and vinegar.
It makes this, if you don't immediately eat the sandwich,
that oil and vinegar ruins the bread, in my opinion.
I don't like soggy, like that.
I love that shit.
I like that too.
I love it, I love the wet and shit.
I'm like, give it to me.
Okay.
You see that only faster?
That's the one I'm watching.
Girls in the jersey mics with their feet?
Yeah.
I go extra mayo, regular amount of mustard,
salt and pepper, extra pepper,
and I throw banana peppers on there.
Oh, that's fun.
I have done chair, oh, and I just go lettuce and tomato.
I don't go full Mike's way.
Yeah.
I just go lettuce and tomato.
If it was the band salt and pepper,
would you want extra salt or extra pepper?
Who do you like better?
I was a salt guy.
Yeah, I was a salt guy.
I started out as a salt guy, then pepper,
then ended up a pepper.
Pepper guy, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I was at Jersey Mike's the other day
and I was like, completely forgot what Mike's way was.
I just ordered Mike's way and I was like,
what the fuck am I doing?
It's Mike's way.
Like I literally just like,
I'll have everything that a Mike's way has.
And I'm like, but I do put on spicy mustard though.
Fun.
You add spicy mustard to the Mike's way.
Yeah, yeah.
Another New York complaint.
When ordering through Grubhub and places like that,
you can't never just get regular yellow mustard.
It's always spicy brown.
It's always, can I just get some Heinz mustard,
some French's?
Yeah.
My dad was a spicy brown mustard
and I'm a yellow mustard guy.
Yeah.
It's the one. I like all kinds of mustard.
In fact, I usually, we'll commonly have like
between three to seven mustards in our fridge.
I just like to have a bunch of them around.
Yeah.
Mustard!
All right, you confused the hell out of him.
He has no idea what the hell.
Actually, didn't you not know what that meant for real?
Did we say this on the podcast?
Yeah, you were confused.
Someone yelled mustard.
No, it was, well, okay, this happened twice.
This happened at, I was at a basketball game.
I was at a Laker game and someone yelled,
mustard in the bathroom.
And I was like, okay, all right.
That guy's enthusiastic.
And then Zach Cherry texted us.
Big mustard spit in the bathroom.
Yeah, group texted us mustard, like the, you know,
like it was yelling and I was just like,
I was like, yes, I like mustard too. and I was just like I was like yes I like mustard
What is DJ mustard that's right yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah native. That's right and Kendrick Lamar is that's that's the track
Yeah, yeah, how about that? Oh, my God. Also from L.A.
Oh, my Lord.
Oh, my land.
You sure you're sad about not coming back on the podcast?
It's pretty, pretty dire here.
Those guys are doing great.
So we wait.
Did we get your jersey? Mike's order?
Well, like, what sandwich?
Oh, I like the spicy number 13,
and then I started doing turkey.
What's that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, just turkey provolone, keep it chill.
I feel like turkey provolone is the dais consensus, right?
Is everyone kind of getting that?
Casey, you ever fuck with anything else?
I like the capicola.
I think it's the Jersey Shore one.
I think the number two. Oh
Yeah, Jersey Shores thing about Casey. He gonna be authentic to his Italian roots
I do get the Philly though. Yeah, that's pretty good. I'm really even a Philly cheesesteak for a while
Oh, maybe I'll go there and get it.
You should go to another place.
I'll give you another recommendation.
Okay, cool.
I wanna hear this place.
Oh yeah, Philly's Best in Burbank.
Oh wow, yeah.
Boo's Philly Cheesesteak is very good too.
Boo's is good, yeah.
We review Boo's.
Philly's Best in Burbank is one that I frequent.
But if I just need something quick
and I want a cheesesteak,
I just go to Jersey Mike's right there.
And it hits the spot.
My favorite spot for that in LA was a pandemic casualty,
but it was a Philly West.
And that place was, it was over on the West side,
but they had a, they not only had a good cheesesteak,
but they also had like, you know,
you just get tasty cakes there,
but then they also had a burger on a sub roll,
which I love.
You know, like a chopped cheese.
Oh, I like that.
Cheeseburger sub, I love, and they don't do it too often.
When you say pandemic casualty, they got the job
and they died.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
That makes sense.
Hey buddy, March Madness is here.

Okay, so this is the semi-soft final match one of the final four Taco Bell V Wendy's in the first round
Taco Bell the winner of Munch Madness 2019 mouth of the border defeated Domino's the winner of Munch Madness 2018 the slices right and Wendy's the winner of Munch Madness 2017 chicken fight defeated Jersey Mike's the winner of Munch Madness 2022 hero's journey suboptimal rule number four from the rules I read through means that only Taco Bell,
tacos and burritos are eligible since that's how they won
and only Wendy's chicken is eligible.
So I opted to do based on a promotion
that Taco Bell is doing right now,
a spicy chicken mirror match, Mitch.
Wow.
There's a spicy chicken option
that obviously it's a stalwart of the Wendy's menu, but also
the right now they have the Caliente chicken Cantina burritos and tacos and Mitch I believe
you got some of those as well.
I got the the crispy Caliente whatever taco.
The Caliente can Caliente rather Cantina chicken crispy taco which is a crispy taco shell
filled with slow roasted chicken Calienteiente sauce, three cheese blend, more three cheese blend grilled on the outside,
and an avocado verde salsa sauce packet. I also got some fire sauce, which is not part of the
evaluation, but I think the avocado verde salsa is part of the item. And then the burrito is the
same, similar components, except they also has crispy lettuce,
shredded purple cabbage,
and then pico de gallo inside a grilled flour tortilla.
These are healthier options, right?
Yeah.
I'm serious.
I mean, they're kind of supposed to be.
The new Cantina stuff is supposed to be healthier.
It is, and this one is just grilled in cheese, the taco.
Yeah.
I don't think there's anything necessarily healthy
about this, but I guess it could maybe be less like potent
than some of the other Taco Bell,
I mean, it's all relative, right?
It's like, what's healthy at Taco Bell?
Really nothing.
What I will say is the caliente sauce, Mitch,
reminded me of like a tikka masala.
Yeah, I didn't like the taste.
It was that earlier, it came through me,
I was like, whoa, that's wild. Yeah. I like tikka taste though. It was that earlier, when you threw me, I was like,
whoa, that's wild.
Yeah.
I like tikka masala.
I do like it, but in this context,
I was like, I don't know if the,
and I don't know if it's what they were,
I don't think it's what they were going for.
It's just the sensation that it kind of triggered in me.
And it's just like, this is what it tastes like.
And that kind of rubbed against all the components
and also just felt asynchronous versus like,
I'm having a burrito, I'm having a taco.
Like, what's this doing here?
What's this protein in the, and what's the context?
It was a bit of a lecture.
I think, I told you when you got in there,
I said all of these, both of these restaurants
are hitting today, and I do believe that's true.
Yeah.
I just think that we unfortunately got a new item
that was maybe not great.
Was it spicy?
How spicy was it?
It was not very spicy.
It wasn't very spicy. I think that it was like, I Was it spicy? How spicy was it? It was not very spicy.
It wasn't very spicy. I think it tasted like tikka masala
because it was supposed to be like that red hot sauce,
but they weren't trying to burn people's mouths.
So it was like, this needs to taste like something.
More sweet, yeah.
So it ended more like tikka masala.
I gotta ask you, I'm just gonna ask you guys,
going into this, do you have a favorite between...
Great question, Mitch.
...the Bell and Dave Thomas?
Which one is who is who is your which one do you yeah Dave Dave for sure?
That's my man. Yeah
little bit more gray area for me coming into it because
I'd love Taco Bell growing up. Yeah, it was the one restaurant that I could go there all the time and never get tired of it
also
McDonald's was that for me too.
But Taco Bell even more so,
because there were so many options
that you could like kind of customize to your liking.
You know, that I felt comfortable customizing it.
I've been a bit of a people pleaser
and didn't want to make people customize
things at other restaurants.
But Taco Bell feels like it's easier to customize
if they're just going quack, quack.
And so I, that's the sauce gun.
Quack.
Yeah, that's how that's how we fans do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, so Taco Bell was great.
And then the whole young brands takeover thing happened.
And they constantly taking stuff off the menu,
constantly changing stuff.
They ruined it in a way. But not- upset with a lot of this too. There was a new CEO that
came in, like when was that? Like a few years back and then they pulled a lot of
stuff. But they have been putting more and more stuff back. They bring stuff back.
I hate the way they do it. You know the biggest
egregious, and it's not the restaurants we're talking about, so forgive me for
going on a tangent, but honey barbecue wings and wedges at KFC.
Oh yeah.
What an era that was.
Those boneless honey barbecue wings,
and they still haven't brought them back.
They're rotating in, they're always rotating in sauces.
I don't know if they've, the Georgia gold is still there,
but they were doing that for a bit.
A lot of Nashville hot these days. Nashville hot a little high. I don't want Chipotle.
Yeah.
But between these two, I now have to go Wendy's, I think.
Yeah.
Wow.
Just because it's more consistent.
Yeah.
Right.
But I do like to try their new, healthier options.
I've had the same thing.
I didn't get that today, but I had the same thing.
And y'all.
The one that came out the last.
And I was like, oh, let me try this. And I felt the same way at Y'all's, the Cantina. The one that Containity came out the last, yeah, yeah.
And I was like, oh, let me try this.
And I felt the same way about the flavors.
I was like, they trying to do something.
So interesting, I wonder, like your relationship with Taco Bell.
I think I'm going with Wendy's
because it's more of a nostalgic thing.
Like that was in high school.
That was where we hung out.
Like after high school, we hung out at Wendy's.
So I have like an emotional attachment to Wendy's
and Taco Bell just wasn't part of that.
I didn't start really eating Taco Bell
until I moved to LA.
That's interesting.
Taco Bell for me, my mom and I,
when we would go to the movies at Magic Johnson theaters
in the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza,
they had a Taco Bell.
And so we would eat Taco Bell before we went to the movies
because movie snacks were too expensive.
Right.
I believe we went to the Fridays down there, didn't we?
We did.
That's at Madera Heights.
We had a Madera.
That's at Madera Heights. This is at magic show. That's at Madera Heights.
This is at the Crenshaw Mall,
which is on Stocker and King Crenshaw.
Anyway, I have a nostalgic thing for Taco Bell too,
because me and my mom went there a lot.
My mom liked it because she was vegetarian.
So she would get nacho del grande
with just beans on it and stuff.
Yeah, they're great for that.
Yeah, but then in high school,
when we would get out early,
like when we got our senior lunch passes,
like the whole basketball team,
if we got out at lunch and we didn't have
the next two periods and we didn't have to be back
until basketball practice,
we would go to the Culver City Wendy's and just hang there
and eat the yellow box fries,
the Biggie bags or whatever, you know what I mean?
See, this is my thing because Wendy's, we've talked about this, but
Wendy's has also declined.
I mean, so has everything in the world.
Yeah.
I think it's part of a bigger thing that's happening.
I just, just that Wendy's.
Do you mean the one that's like on, on Venice and, and Robertson basically?
Oh wow.
Okay.
That's my, that's my regular go-to Wendy's these days.
Yeah.
When I first went to LA, I would go there.
Yeah, that's so crazy.
I just, you know,
weirdly enough, Wags also goes when all the kids
from high school are going there for lunch.
Hey buddy, need tutoring?
I need tutoring.
You gonna teach fucking podcasting?
It's a, yeah, I feel like that's a very solid Wendy's.
I imagine it was executing back in the day.
Like it's, for me, my relationship-
Does it got the terrarium?
Does it got the old, you know, the glass bowl?
Not really, no, they kind of refurbished it.
But that's the Wendy's I remember.
That's the one I remember going to in Long Beach.
And for me, as a kid, Wendy's was like the nice one.
Like versus like Carl's Jr. and Burger King and McDonald's.
And so that's the association I had. I always held it in like some esteem of like, oh, we're going to a slightly
better version of this, uh, of this fast food experience.
Taco bell and Mitch, we've talked about this.
I like Taco bell a lot going into this one, especially with how Wendy's
has been executing lately.
I, I, I feel like I'm more of a leaning Taco Bell,
but I was certainly-
Here's the thing.
Yeah.
Much like a young Carl Tart,
they were both Duncan today.
Yeah.
For sure.
They were both doing pretty well.
But for me,
Taco Bell has always been my number two to Del Taco.
I know Taco Bell is just like better these days.
Del Taco's really like, they just, they need to get their act together.
That burger used to be good at Del Taco.
That burger's got the double del, yeah, it's great.
And now it's not as good anymore.
They just like, they keep, Mitch, we were talking about, you know, earlier about menu
items being removed.
And that's a frustration, obviously, with Taco Bell, but Del Taco's even worse.
They will just arbitrarily kill something
that's been on their menu forever, for no reason.
Like the Spicy Jack KZD, I'm still bitter about that.
The Spicy Jack KZD being removed is insane.
Also, here's what I'll say about Del Taco.
I got it the other day.
And Del Taco, of any fast food place,
one of the only fast food places where I can reheat
a Del Taco order the next day.
And it works.
And it works.
Very true. Yeah, I eat it all the time.
And that speaks to its qualities, you know what I mean?
Like I got a spicy chicken burrito, I didn't eat it,
and I put it in the microwave and it tasted good the next day.
Like that is like so rare for any fast food ever.
I wouldn't even do that with Taco Bell.
There's no way. It is wild how the Taco Bell menu
is so different.
Like when you sent it to me today,
when I was looking at it, I was incredibly overwhelmed.
Like I didn't know what I was looking at. I was like,
where's this all this shit? They've gotten a little cute I would say.
Now like you're saying, they always change stuff out and they
bring stuff back and like the new part of the menu is always there's something
always new there. They've done too. We want Mangione to take it easy.
I'm not saying.
Luigi, we need you to go give Dave Thomas the jab.
Preferably Johnson and Johnson.
Remember everybody was hanging on Johnson and Johnson?
Oh, you got Johnson and Johnson?
Didn't that turn out to be the good one? Is that Johnson and Johnson not The rest are like, oh, you got Johnson and Johnson? Oh, shit.
Didn't that turn out to be the good one?
Is that Johnson and Johnson not being the good one?
That was the real one, yeah.
It turned out to be the one with no additives,
no preservatives in Johnson.
Was that the single dose?
Yeah, single dose.
I should have known.
I used the Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo
for most of my life.
They use a lot of Johnson and Johnson baby oil, too, right?
At the Diddy party.
Yeah.
I got the...
I was always outside the Diddy party with my baby oil. Like Fred Flintstone, yeah, knocking on the door.
I brought my own oil.
You go into the door, and somebody comes in,
push you out.
Puffy!
Just knocking on the door.
He's calling you Puffy, sir.
I got the Taco Bell menu open now on the app.
And yeah, it is the kind of thing that's going on in the world right now, and I think it's a little bit of a surprise I got the Taco Bell menu open now on the app.
And yeah, it is the kind of thing of like,
they've carved their menu.
I do like their app a lot.
It's very easy to customize as you're saying,
but they've carved their menu into a bunch of different-
Harvey Weinstein injector, my baby oil.
It's like, ah.
Into a bunch of different sections,
like online exclusives, cravings, value meal.
Like it's just a little bit tough to navigate.
And then like what is covered by tacos and burritos
does include things like the Cantina tacos
that we're talking about.
Of course, they're classic soft tacos,
spicy potato soft taco,
crunchy taco, one of my favorites,
on the Rio's Logos.
But then also like the Chalupas in there
and the cheesy gordita crunches in there,
which is like arguably are those tacos,
I guess that's how they're choosing to classify it.
They're bringing back the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos taco.
Ooh, I'm excited.
So yeah, I was like, where's that?
Where's that?
What happened to that?
They put it off the menu now
because they're doing the Errors menu,
which they've done one already.
And so it's coming-
Like Taylor Swift?
Like, yes, it is.
It is very much like Taylor Swift.
Yeah, I was like, I thought it was gonna be like like 70s or 80s but that doesn't make sense.
This one is like a 2000s and they're doing the cool, but why did they take it off the menu anyways?
Why did they take it off? Why did they take off the hot one? The Flamin, the nacho, the
Ritos, Loco's Flamin one was my favorite, which I'm assuming that shell was just a Red 40 massacre.
Yeah. It was so good though.
It was so good.
I like Red 40.
I know it's bad for you.
It's my favorite.
I think it's my favorite food.
Did y'all used to have the jugs of juice
from the grocery store that were like 99 cent for a gallon?
Yeah, yeah.
Just like juice.
Like burnt in your throat.
Yeah, but it used to be tasty.
Yeah, you'd come outside, come inside from playing
and you'd pour a big cup of that.
There was a great time in the early 90s
where they put, like, just, remember, like, you know,
the Squeeze-Its?
Yes.
Was there any sort of tube that had just, like,
shitty ass juice in it?
And I loved it.
It was, it's like a, my favorite, a red or a blue juice
was my favorite drink at one point.
You know they've redesigned Capri Sun, apparently?
It's not the pouch anymore with the straw that doesn't work.
Yeah, like it's just like, and I was like,
well that's the entire peel is the form factor.
You're gonna get rid of that.
Like who cares if it's just a juice box.
I don't know why that's not what I drink.
It's a juice box now?
I think it just looks like something else.
It just looks like a generic drink.
We used to have so much fun with that.
We'd blow it all up with the air and then let it launch
and like stab someone in the eye.
Which is a little scarier in schools now
I feel like
I wonder if they changed it because it blew up on tik-tok that
Like you would cut the bottom of the Capri Sun pouch and you have like some type of
Goo or mold in it or whatever. Oh shit. Yeah. Yes people were cutting
Yeah, they're bottles. They're bottles.
It's just a plastic bottle.
That is wild.
That's sad.
Look at that.
That's sad.
Yeah, I don't like that.
Yeah, that sucks.
Yeah.
Is that what it's like getting older?
You're just like, man, we used to have pouches.
And the kids are like, I don't care.
And we're reminiscing over like plastic bags
that filled, held onto juice.
But still, I think it is, it's sadder to me.
Yeah, that sucks.
Yeah.
That's a bummer.
They had the coolest commercials with their like,
Yeah, the liquid people.
The water, the liquid person.
Yeah, that sure was dope.
Jack Allison's dad probably did the,
you know, Jack, you know Alex Mack?
Yeah, yeah.
Jack Allison's dad did all the,
The grabbing one out, the Mack?
Yeah, yeah, he turned Alex Mack's into the,
same with the slider, you know that?
Yeah, I know all this.
Yeah, yeah.
That's connected to the commercial, right? I'm guessing he the commercial right I'm guessing he probably did I'm guessing he probably
did do the effects for I'm guessing I don't know if he did we don't know for
sure they got the Alex Mack guy well I swear Mitch if you wrong about this I
swear I'm gonna text Jack right now we can carry on with the show I'm gonna text Jack right now, I'm gonna find out. Let's see what happens. We can carry on with the show.
I'm gonna text him as you carry on with the show.
Okay, just give us an update.
I'll give you an update.
Let's start with Taco Bell.
Lamar, you got the Chalupa Supreme with chicken
and the chicken enchilada burrito.
Yes.
And Carl, you also got a chicken enchilada burrito.
Did you get the same order?
You also got a Chalupa Supreme
and chicken enchilada burrito?
You didn't get that, did you?
You got that too?
I did, yeah.
Chalupa Supreme. was with beef got it
right yeah oh yeah I had to change my it was cuz all chicken so I didn't suppose
to eat all chicken no no no really I thought we were only supposed to get
chicken from Wendy that's correct okay oh shit so did you think that yeah I was
actually I was asking in the other room I was asking you in the other room, I was like, did you not eat beef?
And then you walked out of the room.
I don't know why you were mad at me or what to do.
You screamed DI is bad and you walked out of the room.
He's like, I don't know why you won't listen to me.
No, I must have misread your text.
I was like, maybe I just saw chicken and was like,
all right, I'll get chicken.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, but maybe it was because the chicken tasted good.
That threw me off.
Oh right, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but maybe it was because the chicken tasted the, that threw me off. Oh, right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Which we should have got you anyways.
I will say it ended up being for me,
a useful exercise having chicken from Taco Bell
to compare to chicken from Wendy's,
because also, like, chicken isn't Wendy's main protein.
Like I always thought of chicken,
like I like the spicy chicken sandwich,
that's my favorite Wendy's sandwich, but I always thought of that as a burger place. the spicy chicken sandwich. That's my favorite Wendy's sandwich.
But I always thought of that as a burger place.
That's what people know it for, you know?
But then, I mean, in my head, I'm like, is it a chicken place?
And spicy chicken sandwich is the best.
I think that was a legendary kind of.
I still love it.
It's my favorite. It's still my favorite.
I like it. I like it still more than the Popeye's sandwich.
I know that sounds crazy. Yeah, you tripping.
What did you all think?
I do like the Popeye's sandwich more. And I think of Popeye's, the Popeye's sandwich. I know that sounds crazy. Yeah, you tripping. What did you all think? I do like the Popeye's sandwich more.
And I think of Popeye's, the Popeye's chicken sandwich
had existed back when we did that tournament in 2017.
I think Popeye's probably was.
Yeah, I was probably mad about it.
It just wasn't around.
What did you all think of your Taco Bell?
So the order that I got, I didn't realize,
cause we had to get a taco and we had to get a burrito.
Once I checked that menu that Amelia sent and saw that the Chalupa was listed as a taco, I said,
it counts.
Yeah, it feels like a loophole, but it counts.
What I didn't do was what I would normally do.
If they bring it back, an era's menu.
My favorite thing of all time at Taco Bell was the nacho cheese Chalupa.
Oh, sure.
And you can add nacho cheese to your Chalupa Supreme
Oh sure. And you can add nacho cheese to your Chalupa Supreme
if you order it on Postmates or whatever,
you can make that or if you go to the restaurant.
But I didn't do that because I follow the rules
of the tournament.
No extra sauces, right?
No like.
We could have let you do it.
You know what?
We just shouldn't have sent any of these stupid rules to you.
I'm embarrassed.
Did we send the rules?
You didn't send the you. I'm embarrassed
You just in the room. I know the rules
We didn't post about that
We might have I don't know if we post about it or not. I don't know how many plots us is gonna take up.
He's probably figuring that out right now.
Like when the worms found out,
I was gonna say this earlier,
when the worms found out that he was dead,
it was like the end of episode six
where it shows all the different planets celebrating,
you know what I'm saying?
Tatooine. Tatooine, yeah, like different worm, you know what I'm saying? Tatooine.
Tatooine, yeah, like different worm,
you know what I'm saying, like all these,
no, all right, sorry, it was worth bringing up.
Coruscant.
Andorra.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then, you see Andorra yet?
You can't find it?
Where is nominated?
The Chalupa bread always hits.
Yeah. It always hits. Yeah.
It always hits.
Yeah.
The crunchy, the flavor of it.
I'm assuming they fry it, like, whatever, and it hits good.
My chicken enchilada burrito left a lot to be desired.
Oh, no.
Because it was too much rice, which their Mexican rice is
good.
Yeah, sure.
And the sauce is good.
But they didn't put the sauce evenly.
And nothing was evenly distributed in the burrito.
And I took bites from both sides because, you know,
we are not gonna finish the whole thing.
It's gonna get my fill.
We got a lot of food to eat.
But like, I took bites from both sides to try and get there.
And it just didn't quite do it for me
what I know they could have done.
Because there were flavors in there.
That menchilada sauce is very good, the rice is very good.
The chicken kind of maybe should be covered in the sauce
a little bit more.
Yeah, the ratios weren't clicking.
The ratios weren't clicking and that hurts you.
It's huge.
They're about the ratios.
That's what Gabris has said,
that Taco Bell is about the different goose.
Yeah, sure.
Rock.
That's like those guns.
Rock.
Rock.
I love those guns.
I love every goo at Taco Bell, but it does need to.
There's times when they don't hit it
with the right amount of goo, and it sounds like you got it.
It's so interesting, because I had
the opposite experience then.
Because maybe they hit mine right,
because I had the chicken enchilada chalupa was great.
I thought it was great.
It was hitting, and then the chicken chalupa supreme
was not hitting for me.
But I also wonder if it's because I had that salad,
and I was like not really hungry
as much as I thought it would be.
And I was just like, so it actually made me really like
go purely based off like what was hitting my palate,
and the chicken enchilada was hitting it.
But like, I don't know, some other Supreme
wasn't doing it for me.
Wow.
I don't usually go chicken too often at Taco Bell.
I usually just go shredded beef, basically.
Beef too, I wish I would have did it.
And I was surprised today that I got something
that I've never, and people will be like,
I can't believe I've never gotten this before, Wags,
but I got the cheesy double beef burrito,
and I've never even gotten that before. Wow. And I liked it. That was the first
thing I took a bite into and I said, both of these restaurants are on
their A game today because I got the ghost pepper ranch chicken
sandwich from Wendy's, which I know we'll get into that in a second, but I had
taken a bite of that and that was also hitting. know used to be good about that the cheesy double beef joint
They will put
Flamin hot Fritos in it back in did you remember that why I do remember this and they now they now have
They know they now it's just like tortilla strips. I guess they're not the I think they lost their promotion with Fritos
But there was one that I used to get that wasn't called the that
There was one that was like the Fritos one right and that's the one I used to get I don't think I don't think I've ever gotten the Fritos, but there was one that I used to get that wasn't called the, that there was one that was like the Fritos one, right?
And that's the one I used to get.
I don't think I, I don't think I've ever gotten the Fritos Locos.
Yes.
Yes.
The Fritos Locos and the Cheetos Locos.
Which there's the same, are they, they're the same company, right?
So I don't understand.
Yeah.
So I don't know why a lot of the Fritos stuff went away, but so maybe, maybe I
have had the cheesy double beef burrito before, but mine was fantastic.
That taco, like we talked about already, was not great.
And then we can't judge it, but we got the Steak-O
and Case Crunchwrap sliders, and those were pretty good too.
That was good, yeah, you thought the Kimmy had some of that.
I loved it, I was like, ooh, this is good.
Yeah, but we can't judge it on that,
but those are tasty.
They're good.
They're pretty small.
And it's like, isn't it two for like $7?
Five bucks, but yes.
Oh, five bucks is a lot more reasonable.
But I was like, this is really small.
Cause you had to take a bite, I was like,
all right, I'm gonna take a bite
without getting close to where you bit.
Exactly.
I could not do it.
I feel like I was like, this is impossible.
Yeah, it was crazy.
He's got a giant mouth, you know, he's in the one percentile.
I'm in the top one percent of mouth sizes.
Mouth and heart.
Yeah, it's an oral facial pain specialist. He told me like I one percent of mouth sizes. Mouth and heart. Yes, an orophacial pain specialist.
He told me like I was one of the biggest mouths
he'd ever measured.
That's crazy.
Who was this?
Orophacial pain specialist.
I thought you said an orophacial pain specialist.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then I saw, I went to, after that I was, I sent,
I went to, you know, get my mouth x-ray, my jaw x-rayed.
And it's one of those things, like you talked to,
any medical professional,
you always assume they've seen it all.
But then the x-ray technician, the radiologist was like,
wow, you can really open your mouth.
Like we like staggered her.
And this is a Hollywood place.
Some of their clients, they got Bruce the shark from Jaws.
That's right.
That's one of their,
they got a lot of big-
You can start with like Julia Roberts or like Mick Jagger.
You can go straight to Bruce the shark. That's true though. I was starting a lot of... Maybe you can start with like Julia Roberts or like Mick Jagger. You can go straight to Bruce the Shark.
That's true though.
I was starting to think of someone with a big mouth.
Bruce the Shark.
Trump.
Mitch, don't get me started.
You've got the biggest mouth of all.
Yep, yep, that guy.
Mitch, you said you'd never had the cheesy double beef burrito.
Have you looked it up and I have?
I have to give you a Pinocchio, pointedly because you had this on last year's Munch
Madness 2024 in the second Goop stage with guest Lamar Woods.
Why did you call me on it, man?
I remember that, man.
I was sad.
I was like, yo, he lying right now.
I was in my head like, man, I can't call him out.
He's my man right there.
I already called him out for his stances. I was like, I'm going to call him out. I'm going to call right now. I was in my head like, man, I can't call him out.
There's my man right there.
I already called him out for his stance on DEA.
Thank you, my friend, for not calling it out.
You know what, then?
It was completely new to me today because it was so good.
They did a great job with it today.
I remember us liking it.
Again, not a menu item that I would get with any regularity.
I've kind of locked into what I get from Dr. Love.
The beefy five layer I like, though I do like the rice in there too, so maybe I'll add rice
to the beefy five layer.
Yeah, the rice is good in there.
Yeah, the rice is good.
The rice is good.
I like that shit.
The rice is good.
Yeah.
Well, he's thinking.
I'm torn on rice and burritos generally.
Really?
Really?
Oh, interesting.
Sometimes I feel like it adds too much starch, you know?
But then there's other times I was like,
oh wait, this is nice.
I like, you know, it just, like it's situational.
I'm deviating for a second.
Please.
Like a septum.
You, have you eaten like a burrito at Cactus?
Yeah, of course. Yeah, yeah.
And you still talk about it
because it is a change.
That, you don't like the rice in those burritos?
No, I do like the rice in that burrito,
but I just, it just depends.
I feel like sometimes what can happen is,
and I don't think that's exactly what you were saying,
but like what can happen with like a fast food burrito
is it's got too much rice in it, you know?
And-
Jemi's doing a little dog scanners thing.
Her face is like twitching around.
So that's- Get some REM sleep? She's getting some REM sleep scanners thing. Her face is like a twitching around. So that's-
Get some REM sleep?
She's getting some REM sleep here.
How about that?
Oh, life is bigger.
Oh.
I'm probably dreaming of a big bone is my guess.
I was at summer camp and this kid was insisting
that that REM song was not,
I think I thought I saw you cry.
He's like, the lyrics are actually,
I think I thought I saw you scry.
Scry?
He's like, he's like, it's true.
He chose a fake word?
He said scry.
And then, and it was one of those things,
it was like, like we didn't, no one had a phone, you know?
There's no way to look this up.
So it was just like, we're just telling this kid
that he was wrong.
He's like, nope, look it up.
Like, it was like, it's in the lyrics. I was like, I don't know, scry? How will to look this up. So it's just like, we're just telling this kid that he was wrong. He's like, nope, look it up. Like, it's in the lyrics.
I was like, I don't know, Scry?
How would we look it up?
How did you look it up?
It's 1988.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Harvey, let's get out of here.
I think you're gonna work at Disneyland.
I mean, Scry might be a word,
but I don't think it would make any sense in that context.
S-C-R-Y, I'm looking up Scry right now. Scry, fall magic. I mean, scry might be a word, but I don't think it would make any sense in that context.
S-C-R-Y. I'm looking up scry right now. Scryfall magic. Scry refers to the act of divining
or fortune telling by gazing into a medium like a crystal ball or mirror to seek visions
or messages about the future or hidden knowledge.
Oh yeah, of course. It's a magic the gathering keyword.
Scry is...
I should have known that.
...for tell the future. Scry... So I should've known that. For Tell the Future, Scry.
So he thinks he saw someone looking into the future?
Is it a song?
Okay, maybe.
Wow, what if that guy's right?
I'm looking it up right now, lyrics.
Maybe this kid was right.
Wow.
It'd be an incredible thing to learn.
Oh, life is bigger than you, and you are not me.
All right, hold on.
Are you in Rap Genius, or where are you?
That's, I'm on a...
Rim Genius.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Uh, losing my re...
Uh, wait, where the fuck is it?
Uh, oh, I thought that I heard you laughing.
I thought that I heard you sing.
I think I thought I saw you scry.
Is it really scry?
No, it's try.
Wait, is it try?
It's try. Yeah. Oh, wait, but there's a second part.
It's Try or it's Cry?
It's Try. Oh, it's Try, okay.
I always thought it was Cry.
So Scry kind of sounds like Try.
Yeah, it does.
Scry, Try, Try, Try.
That song came out in 1987.
What year is that song called?
That's a good call.
I think that you're pretty close here.
87.
Let me see here.
1991.
91.
Okay, so 91, you're probably eating
a bag of Big League Chew.
Sure.
Michael Stipe, is that his name?
Michael Stipe, yeah.
He's probably eating a bag of Big League Chew.
Michael Stipe is eating the bag of Big League Chew?
I'm eating a bag of juice, dry.
He's eating fruit stripe gum.
Oh yeah, yeah. You got a bag of Big League Chew? You got a bag of Big League Chew? You got a bag of Big League Chew? You got a bag of Big League Chew? You got a bag of Big League Chew? You got a bag of Big League Chew? You got a bag of Big League Chew?
He's eating fruit, he's eating fruit striped gum.
Oh yeah, yeah.
The zebra gum.
Oh man, I remember that.
I feel like Big League Chew was a much tastier gum.
Yeah, that fruit, striped fruit,
or whatever it was called,
lost flavor in seconds.
It didn't last that long, yeah.
I'd have a big wad of Big League Chew in my mouth
during baseball, when I, when you, you know what I mean,
when you were playing baseball, I'd have a, I'd get it,
like, like it was chewing tobacco.
I coveted big league chew and I don't think I was allowed to have it.
Cause it was like, it looked like chewing tobacco.
Oh, right.
And so that, I mean, that was the whole reason they did it.
And then it's just like, so kids could feel like they were in the major league
shoe and you know, chaw, but yeah.
Your parents wouldn't let you have it?
I don't remember.
I don't think they did.
Yeah.
I think I had it cause like other kids had it, but I don't remember. I don't think they did Yeah, I think I'm had it cuz like other kids had it but I don't George Kerry
We would pack a lip of it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and parents be like don't do that you chew it right?
You don't like they would kind of regulate that I heard that it's big leagues ends now
There's just a little pouch that you and it's got the it got the big league flavor
But it's just a little pouch of bits and you've got the it got the big league flavor But it's just a little pouch of it's a sin. Can I share his end story, please?
Someone tell me what is in is yeah?
Yeah, it's a little nicotine pack it's what people try and not to smoke they pop is in got it
Zins zins are like if you had having a lip in now you have a zen. Yeah, people have zens. Yeah
Oh, okay.
Sometimes you can do an upper decker
where you put one down and one up.
Okay.
Yeah, but they give you a buzz.
And so the other night I was celebrating my homecoming
with some libations with friends.
And I popped a zen at like, at an after hour spot
at like three o'clock in the morning.
And the first-
Do you have to spit Zen out too?
Just like, do you-
You don't.
Oh, you don't.
You just kind of leave it there.
But the first five minutes of this were like,
almost euphoric.
And I was like, well, there it goes.
I'm addicted now.
Not necessarily.
I don't have an addictive personality,
but I popped it in and then like,
immediately I got so nauseous.
Like it turned so quick.
Oh wow.
And I threw up in the club.
Oh no.
But not in front of the gals.
Sure.
I walked out, I was headed to the door.
Cause I literally like just got so dizzy.
My body just started like thumping in a weird way.
Like I felt my heartbeat, you know?
And it threw out my whole body and I was like, I gotta go. walked out and as I was walking out I just hit the wall with a little
bap. Why'd you do that? What made you want to do that? I couldn't hold it. I mean what made you want to use the zen?
Why'd you throw up for? My body rejected the zen. My body rejected the nicotine. You know you don't smoke. I mean, I would just want to try it out.
Yeah, yeah, you see what was going on.
That's probably what you thought.
You was asking about why you threw up.
Lamar to like a little kid.
Why did you do that?
Why did you throw up?
Why would you throw up like that?
You were still physically in the club or did you make it outside?
I was in the club.
Oh, man.
Sorry to whoever had to clean that up.
It wasn't a lot.
Yeah, sure.
It wasn't a lot.
It was a quick hitter.
The first time I ever threw up from drinking as I had a head chewing tobacco on my lip
And then I was drinking oh my goodness, and I was spitting, but I was also drinking and smoking
From the sam lot thing like I never want to do that. Oh, yeah, I'm like you you will make your bar
I'm making but the big thing to make it go back
I used to like smoking cigarettes while I was drinking like that that was like so like, you know, that was a blast,
but I never have done any sort of chewing tobacco.
I've never done anything like that, any dip or anything.
What were you smoking then?
Parliaments.
Parliaments, okay, I like it.
That's cool.
Yeah, it was fun, a lot of fun.
I can see you smoking Virginia Slims.
My mom, you know what, my mom smoked Virginia Slims.
I was certainly tempted to steal one, but I never did.
Yeah. Yeah. I'd trys. I was certainly tempted to steal one, but I never ever did. Yeah.
I'd try them.
You don't have to.
I mean, we'll do a cigarette episode soon.
Cigarettes are back.
Cigarettes.
All right, maybe it happens tonight.
We're hitting Tam after this.
I am doing another Zen tonight, me and Casey.
We're all barfing with Tam tonight.
We'll all throw up together.
Oh, that's why you threw up.
You might be a wine mom and get a glasses in.
Oh, God.
On St. Patty's Day, we'll get you a green Zinfandel.
Oh, is that the...
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Mitch, what's your most,
was that your most embarrassing puke?
Cause I have a couple that I come to mind
Hmm what I'll tell mine real quick
I mean that that was one of the and they were like pouring milk on me
They were like trying to be like wake up. You know what I mean?
Yeah, they were like drink milk and I was drinking
My most embarrassing puke is definitely in Cleveland with Emma
Gentlemanly puker I've ever met. I was so embarrassed.
Excuse me, ma'am.
You were so polite.
No, he was like, we were in the Uber and you were like,
sir, would you mind pulling over?
And he pulled over and Carl just opened the door
and yacked all over the sidewalk and sat up and was like,
all right, I'm good now.
There was a guy from the comedy world,
and we talk about this all the time, Carl, and you were yelling,
this man taught me everything I know.
You're yelling it out of sketch students.
We can say who it is.
Yeah, yeah.
Michael Bush.
Michael Bush.
I just was trying not to include him.
It's the man right here.
I was trying to get him laid.
You were gassing him up.
It was great.
He was gassing him up.
There was a lot of Doughboyz fans there.
I was like, this man taught me everything I knew. Yeah.
That's a beautiful thing.
It was a thing where Wiger and I was like,
I didn't know they knew each other.
We had no idea that they knew each other.
Yeah, we knew each other.
That was fun seeing Bush out there.
It was.
I mean, look, we went to a tiki bar, and we got in.
They had those, Carl and I were drinking these tiki drinks
that they had.
They were like, doesn't matter who you are,
two maximum per person, and then you were cut off.
No other drinks, you're cut off after two.
And we had already been drinking at the show.
And then Carl and I each had two of those.
Yeah, we had two, and we were like,
this should be fine, this will keep us right all night.
Just two, and we both had two, and man, let me tell ya.
What is yours?
Was it your old roommate,
your friend from college?
My college roommate, shout out Jamal.
Jamal Akil was there, my college roommate.
He lives in LA now.
Oh, that's nice.
Yeah, but he was there.
It was a joyous night.
I had a lovely conversation with Jamal.
He's a good dude.
We had a great show in Cleveland.
We talked about Swensons.
Oh, that's right, yeah.
That fried bologna sandwich.
You want the fried bologna sandwich?
Come on, man.
That was good as hell.
Still follow them on Instagram. I get, man. That was good as hell.
Still follow them on Instagram.
I get updates on Swensons all the time.
I liked Swensons quite a bit.
Yeah.
I puked once in seventh grade
and it was one of those things that was out of nowhere
where I was just like sitting in class.
I was like, I feel sick.
And then I ran outside during class
and I tried to make it to the bathroom
and I was just like, it's not happening.
I just started like fucking puking in the hallway.
I felt so bad.
I had to like, I'm gonna be the kid leaving the pile puke
that like as Janitor puts sawdust.
I was like, I knew I was that kid at that moment.
But while I was puking, I heard a kid in the classroom
behind me, my friend go, yeah, wiger.
I told you I puked a lot when I auditioned for a thing
that was making me nervous. Oh yeah. And I had taken the shot and I never have thrown up I told you I puked a lot when I auditioned for a thing
that was making me nervous. Oh yeah.
And I had taken the shot and I never have thrown up
from having nerves before.
And then I barfed in the shower.
But when I did in college, when I did a six-spear funnel
and I got it down.
That's wild.
I got six beers down.
And then I was like, I got it, it's cool, it's fine.
And then I remember puking,
it was cold coming back out of my body.
I puked it all out.
My other one that comes to mind,
this is when I was in college,
and it was one of those ones where it's just like,
you just don't know, you don't know drinking as well.
So like it was very easy to overindulge
when I was that age.
And like, you know, I started drinking,
I was like 16, 17, and then just like,
for those first few years,
you're just fucking dumb and it's so easy
to just like have a couple shots of 151 or...
Like I have like seven beers on an empty stomach
and then all of a sudden you just are completely shitfaced.
So I was just like plastered to the point where people were like,
like, hey, we gotta get this guy out of here.
So I was leaving the party with this girl
that I'd been talking to that I liked,
that we'd been friends, and we're leaving this party,
we're walking out of it, and we're holding hands.
And she's like walking me out to just kind of see me off
or whatever, we get to a certain point.
I was like, oh, see you later,
like give her a hug, good night or whatever.
Walk away, I take like four steps,
make eye contact with a frat dude driving a car,
and then immediately like puke out the side of my mouth.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That shit is hilarious.
And then the guy, the guy, I just remember him
like being like looking at me like in his car
and just going...
Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Puking in front of girls is the worst.
Yeah, it's horrible.
You think?
Yeah.
Yeah, with that, I did, uh, I had these two girls, like we were in high school
and my friend had met these girls from the private school
and they were coming over to hang with us.
And right before they came, I did a gravity bong.
And I was like, I was like, oh, they're not here yet.
I'm gonna just get this in real quick.
And they walked right in, right.
I just started, I was choking off the gravity bong
and threw up everywhere, like all over the city,
right in front of them.
Yeah, it didn't go well after that.
But, yeah.
Rough stuff.
Yeah, I was penning Irma the other night
and she went over and she barfed,
so she maybe was nervous, you know what I mean?
Maybe Irma has a crush on me is what I'm trying to say.
Oh my God.
Maybe she has a callback for big auditions.
She might, who knows?
There's a lot of stuff for cats.
Garfield's love interest.
I don't know.
When Jemmy barfs, which is not that often,
she gets this crazy, I call it her Joker smile,
her little lips pulled all the way back.
And she looks like she has this cartoonish smile on.
And you'll be like, what is that face?
Then she just barfs.
That's cute as hell.
That's adorable as fuck.
I've never done an embarrassing barf in front of, just in front of friends, but like never,
nothing, I haven't barfed on my,
I haven't held a girl's hand and then barfed like you,
you know what I mean?
I've never done anything like that.
Nothing embarrassing like that.
Okay, are we covered with Taco Bell?
Is there anything else you need to say?
I mean, I just, I feel like the Caliente chicken was,
I, you know- Not the best product they've ever come out with.
I think that just the protein, the sauce and the protein.
I was trying to get some context on what the Caliente sauce, what the components actually
are.
Some people are saying there's some chile de arbol in there.
The Taco Bell themselves says that they're red jalapenos.
I don't really know.
I just know that the flavor profile does not line up with the other components that are in the bread or the taco.

Let's go to Wendy's.
So Wendy's, the spicy chicken sandwich
is usually my go-to.
Mitch, that was your initial order,
but you did an audible.
I saw what you ordered and I changed it.
You got what I did, which was I was like,
I'm gonna stick with the spicy chicken mirror match
and I'm also gonna stick with another limited time offering.
The Ghost Pepper Ranch Chicken Sandwich,
which is, I'll read the description here,
our legendary spicy chicken filet,
so it is the same protein,
but now a whole lot hotter with three layers of Ghost Pepper heat,
including a Ghost Pepper seasoned fried onions,
ghost pepper American cheese,
and ghost pepper ranch lettuce and tomatoes.
Don't be chicken, eat it.
Damn.
First off, not particularly spicy.
Like, did you find it spicy?
No.
No, it's not spicy really at all.
I mean, the flavor was good.
But there's, if you're saying ghost pepper,
like it's like, you know.
Yeah, they make it seem like it's a challenge.
Exactly.
They just never do it.
It just never happens. And it's a bummer because you want it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it could be from the beef too, the ground beef. I have never found a bone in my beef. It was a little tiny, it was a little tiny bone.
You ever find a bone in your beef?
It was a little tiny, it was a little tiny bone.
Little tiny bone.
Wow.
That's my stand up joke.
You ever find a bone in your beef? I relate to that.
Feedback.
Too soft.
But I found a little tiny bone in my beef,
or not my beef, in something.
You chickened one of the things.
In something.
Either the chicken or what.
I don't know what it was.
I never experienced that chicken sandwich.
It would weigh on this ruling,
and I'm not sure what it was.
Interesting.
Yeah.
But you can't place which what it was. Interesting.
But you can't place which chain it even came from.
I don't know who the bone belongs to.
I don't know if it's a bone.
Maybe it was a bone I had before.
I have no idea.
Did you let Jemmy near your food?
I did not let Jemmy near my food or my phone or anything
like that.
She was not near any of this stuff.
Jemmy is like, let me go through your phone.
Who you texting?
Who's his dog? Who's your phone. Who you texting? Who's this dog?
Who you texting?
Who you texting?
Who you calling the pound?
Who you texting?
I just done your dance.
Here's what I'll say.
It did not need the fried onions.
The fried onions, I feel like were unga-pachka.
I thought they tasted really like just something
out of a can.
Like they, I really didn't like them.
I don't know.
But the actual chicken itself is so good.
And I thought it was a really well-executed sandwich
other than that. I didn't really get any heat
from the Ghost Pepper American cheese.
Also, Ghost Pepper American cheese?
Like, what did you place it, Jackson?
I'm kind of on board.
I don't know. It's an interesting...
I thought that sandwich wasn't bad.
I thought when I was eating, I finished that sandwich.
No, I thought the cheese... I mean, I thought that...
Like, it's just a... I'm just surprised they didn't go with jack.
You just aren't happy with any of these hot sandwiches.
You're a heat seeker, and none of it does it for you.
That's the issue.
It could go a little bit.
Panties.
Panties, panties, bras.
Men's bras, men's panties.
We just put them on, they're comfortable.
Depends. My tits look great.
But the, like, I do think this was a really well executed sandwich.
Now would I rather have just had a spicy chicken sandwich?
Yes.
I feel like this is an addition by subtraction situation where the original is so good
that I think if I had that same one
at that same level of execution,
I would have been, like the base sandwich rather,
at that same level of execution,
I would have been happier.
But I still thought this was a really satisfying sandwich.
And if I got like this is a combo
with like fries or a baked potato and an iced tea or whatever,
I'd be very happy with that lunch.
I also got some nuggets.
I got the six piece spicy chicken nugs
with a buttermilk ranch dipping sauce.
Man, these nuggets were real good.
I had a bite.
The nuggets always hit.
They really hit.
No.
Every time.
So did.
Yeah, no, I'm doing Trump hands.
Every time.
Every time.
Every time.
Every time the nuggets are gonna hit. Trump needs to, he needs to eat,
it's only McDonald's with him.
We need to see his Wendy's order.
He does KFC, but yeah, I don't know what else beyond that.
It's like, I haven't seen him, yeah,
I'd be interested in what he gets from Wendy's.
I'm sure he's had it.
No more Tesla stuff.
Let's see what, let's see what Wendy's.
Tesla.
We love Tesla.
Everything's computer, that was his new thing.
Everything's computer, we love Dessler.
Dessler we love.
You're gonna get mad at this, I didn't tell you,
but there were two items from Taco Bell
and Amelia went to a different Taco Bell
to get them for me.
Wow.
On the same trip, to be clear.
She changed, and I told you not to do it right can you can you back me up here?
Yeah, it should don't do it
He said do what's most convenient for me, and it was the same distance so I was just like yeah
I'll go to a different one. I'm not mad, but the two items were the
the mini sliders and an arm and and the strawberry I see. Two things I just wanted.
And I didn't want you to know
because you would get mad at me.
No, it's fine.
But they were worth trying.
They don't count.
But I, this is, I said this in the break room to Amelia
right before I came in.
This is the hardest decision I've ever made in my life.
I don't, I really don't know.
This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life
to choose between these two right now.
What did you guys get for chicken from Wendy's?
What was your guys orders?
I got the original chicken sandwich.
That's right.
Yeah, the classic one.
We've talked about this before on the podcast,
but you used to like the spicy chicken sandwich
and then you're like, we're all aging
and you reach a certain point
and you're just not digesting spicy foods as well.
Yeah, it's not happening, which I love.
I still miss him.
I actually was thinking about it.
Doesn't that make you feel better
that yours is dunking and ours is we can't eat
the spicy chicken sandwich anymore?
I wish I could dunk like I used to.
Yeah, man. But you know, I was thinking could dunk like I used to. Yeah, man.
But you know, I was thinking about it.
I'm not sure.
I hope I'm not lying when I say this,
but like, I don't think I've ever had,
I think I've only gotten a spicy chicken sandwich.
Sure.
Because I'm always like, get the spicy.
So I think this might've, I was like,
let me try the original joint.
And it was fucking good, man.
It was like, I guess I could have been eating that.
It looked good. It did look. man. It was like, I guess I could have been eating that.
It looked good.
Yeah, it was just thick.
Their meat is so thick in there.
Like you bite into it, it's just juicy, feels good.
Oh my God.
That chicken, that chicken patty is really satisfying.
It's really well breaded.
It's like, you know, it's like hot, and like juicy.
I'm telling you, I mean, people are confused by our love of the spicy chicken sandwich. It's a great sandwich. It's a, you know, it's like hot, and like juicy. I'm telling you, I mean, people are confused
by our love of the spicy chicken sandwich.
It's a great sandwich.
It's a great sandwich.
Yeah.
There are, genuinely, I go to Wendy's
to get the spicy chicken sandwich more than I go to Popeyes
to get their chicken sandwich.
I know that there's, Wendy's is more convenient.
Yeah, maybe because it's closer, but.
Yeah.
You know it's weird that original chicken sandwich,
I don't mean this in a bad way,
reminds me of the chicken sandwich and cafeteria food like like a school
Like I don't know it just tastes like home or something. Yeah. Yeah, it's real shit. You know
mustard
I do like Wendy's chicken sandwich kinda I'm a bigger fan of the the junior bacon cheeseburger
Oh, yeah, because I couldn't get because I had to get something chicken. I didn't do that
The junior bacon cheeseburger. Oh, yeah, because I couldn't get because I had to get something chicken I didn't do that. But do you are you a mayo on a burger fan? Oh, yeah big time
That's a mayo on every my spoonfuls over this my my burger topping
Sauce topping is is just ketchup and mayo Wow. I like that
I don't I don't even do mustard like except except at McDonald's
Yeah on a cheeseburger you got to have I don't do any mayo at McDonald's. Yeah. On a cheeseburger, you gotta have. I don't do any mayo at McDonald's, but.
I don't know if it's still in Brooklyn,
but there's a place, there's a place Natalie and I
used to go to get a burger that was a,
it was called, just called Diner,
is in Williamsburg.
And they had a house mayo they made
that you could get on the burger.
That was like, it was like a $2 ups charge,
cause it was like, they made it there,
but it was so fucking good.
It was like the best mayo I ever had,
and it was a really well- You see like Daniel Stern
in there, and like, uh, it's the movie D good. It was like the best mail I ever had knows I really like Daniel Stern in there and like uh
It's the movie diner. I'm making a reference to that. No one even fucking knows
Remember the rest of the cast of diner, I know Daniel Stern is in it right. Yeah, it's like Harvey
W is Harvey W
Saw that movie that was like Barry Levinson's first movie or something.
Like I saw that movie once like 25 years ago.
This is a New York City place called Diner?
Yeah, it's just called Diner.
I mean, I don't know if it still exists.
This is the place we went to more than a decade ago,
but a number of times.
Oh snap, let me see.
1982 Diner, this is the-
No, I mean, is that the place that you went to in New York?
Oh, let me find it.
Yeah. Let me run through it, run to the cast real No, I mean, is that the place that you went to in New York? Oh, let me find it. Yeah.
Let me run through, run to the cast real quick.

Loaded baked potato right there.
It's like Diner and South Williamsburg is still open.
No, yeah.
I was gonna say, I think I saw like one of those YouTube things
where it's like a chef thing.
Yeah.
I think there's really dope chef took over it.
Oh wow.
And they do like, it's just fucking like good.
I wanna go.
Maybe I'll check it out when I'm back out there.
I really like that spot.
Yeah, it's got kind of a great atmosphere too.
Nick and I are talking about going to,
we're talking about going to New York City in early May.
We're gonna hang out with Nick.
Come on, come on.
We're gonna go and hang with you.
That's the plan, right, Wives?
Let's go to Diner.
Hey, if we can sort it out, I love New York City.
City that never sleeps, and I love-
It's sleeping now.
It is, it's sleeping now.
I'm telling you, the 4 a.m. bar,
there are still 4 a.m. bars.
I'm not gonna, because people will jump down my throat
about saying this, but a lot of places close at two now since the pandemic.
Even bodegas, even some bodegas close.
Wow.
Like, and so the city, it's gotten a little sleepy
since after the pandemic.
One thing I love about New York City is the public transit.
I know you're a guy who likes to drive
and I imagine you don't have a car.
I imagine you don't have a car in the city. I imagine you don't have a car in the city.
I imagine you don't have a car in the city.
I do not have a car in the city and it kills me.
How are you getting around?
The fucking train.
He loves it.
You like it here too.
I do, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I grew up taking it here.
Sure.
That's what makes me hate it.
Right.
You know what, can I say my favorite thing
about New York City?
Yeah.
Lady Liberty, that beautiful broad,
who represents freedom, wives.
I love that beautiful broad.
I love that beautiful broad.
You see that one.
Those curves she's got.
Imagine what's underneath those robes.
Oh my God. I've tried.
My favorite lady in New York City is the gray lady,
because I'm an intellectual.
The New York Times.
The Times have heard of it.
Oh, I've heard of it, all right.
My man.
My favorite lady is Hoda Kotby.
What up, Hoda?
Peace, Hoda. Peace, Hoda.
I like Hoda.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah, I mean, they do still have the grass-fed and finished burger there on that menu, so
I'm looking at the diner menu right now, so I imagine it's the same.
Yeah, good spot.
Potato roll.
Yeah, let's go there when I come back next week.
Y'all like a potato roll?
You guys are gonna go to Kat's, too.
Kat's is my...
I know it's like a big touristy spot, but do you like a pastrami sandwich?
Where's that at, and what part of the city?
Uh.
It's in Manhattan, but I don't know where exactly.
Yes.
Uh, Lower East Side, maybe?
East Lower East Side, East Village, somewhere over there.
I will say this, and this'll get a lot of heads
turning real fast.
This is gonna cause some people driving their cars right now
pull over to the side when I say this.
Let's check.
So you don't
crash okay Pastrami on rye is not my jam
Really?
Johnny pastrami yeah, that's my shit. Well, okay. That's pastrami on a roll. I prefer it on a roll pastrami on a roll with a lot of mustard
I prefer it on a roll. Pastrami on a roll with a lot of mustard.
Mustard.
I do like pastrami on rye, but it's gotta be like good rye.
A lot of times I feel like you're getting like
some store bought rye, I was like, get this out of here.
What are we doing?
Rye bread is not for me, man.
I don't like the seeds.
Sure.
Did you see DJ Mustard and Sneaks?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then the shoes get separated.
And Mustard is in it, I guess.
DJ Mustard's just in it.

They probably do that in Strictly Jokes.
Oh, there's gotta be something like that.
Maybe like a real- I do not punch up this movie.
A real prissy high heel, you know?
Yeah.
We gotta get you back, we gotta get you working.
We gotta end this show somehow.
We gotta get you in a room somewhere.
We're gonna get this guy working somewhere, for God sakes.
You're a Doc Marten that's like,
I'm gonna shave my eyebrows.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We gotta get you to,
cause you can do it on the roll of cats.
Okay.
Maybe I'll try it out.
You don't have to do it on Rye.
Yeah.
It's great.
I love cats.
Do you like a Langer's out here?
Or is that the same sort of issue?
Same sort of issue.
Yeah, yeah.
I prefer Johnny Pastrami. Yeah, I like Johnny Pastrami.
You know, like that cold Pastrami,
like kind of thick cut.
It's just not something I really grew up eating.
And so it's not really my thing.
I don't shit on it.
I don't say like it's nasty.
Yeah, it's just not for you.
It's just not for me.
We're gonna get you a corned beef sandwich tonight.
Hopefully gray.
We'll see what they got there.
Yeah.
Hopefully it's good. Corned beef. You never had a corned beef sandwich? Oh my God. Oh, this is gonna be great. We'll see what they got there. Yeah. I'll tell them gray. Hopefully it's both.
Corned beef.
You never had a corned beef sandwich?
Oh my god.
Oh, this is going to be great.
We're going to have a good night.
The way I like sandwiches to be is not conducive with New York.
New York is not big on condiments on your sandwich.
They're just like the meats and like, you know,
Italian subs, if you ask for mayonnaise, they're like, ugh.
Oh yeah, they'll get mad at you.
Yeah. I thought it was wild, they're like, oh, yeah, they'll get mad at you.
I thought it was wild that they put,
like ketchup at the Bodega in New York,
they put ketchup and hot sauce on that breakfast sandwich.
I never done that before, I loved it.
Like the bacon, egg, and cheese,
they put ketchup and hot sauce, yeah.
I thought that shit was so good, I loved it.
Well, look, sadly for LA, the late night spots we have,
are the two of the people we're talking about today, Wendy's, what, two of the are the two of the people we're talking about
today, Wendy's, what, two of the people, two of the restaurants we're talking about today,
Wendy's and Taco Bell, as far as late night eats wise, we've talked about this.
There are people involved here, Mitch.
Wendy's, of course, named for Dave Thomas' daughter, and then of course, Glenn Bell,
the namesake of Taco Bell, who stole all of his recipes from a Mexican restaurant.
Meat La Cafe. Yeah. San Bernardino, right?
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, come on now.
Okay, you gotta know your history.
Jesus Christ was black.
I got the nuggets.
Yes, what'd you think?
I loved them, every single one of them.
What's your normal dipping sauce?
Cause this is always a thing with me.
If I'm eating regular nugs, like I like,
I could do barbecue, I could do sweet and sour,
I could do honey mustard, but spicy nugs,
I was like, I feel like I can only do ranch.
You gotta do ranch or they're,
they used to have a ghost pepper ranch.
Oh right, yes.
Their ghost pepper, so it'd make it even spicier.
Yeah.
I didn't get any of that
cause I did not request it from Amelia.
I was, the whole day, I was hoping that she would just get some anyway.
But that's not on you, that's on me,
because I didn't request it, I'm like, she'll do it.
She knows what's up.
She knows she's gonna get all the sauces.
But it is a little bit of a failure on her part
that she didn't.
Yeah.
But the ranch did just fine with the nugget.
Yeah.
And I also will do honey mustard with those spicy nugs too.
Oh, that's fun.
Wendy's spicy, Wendy's honey mustard is very good.
It's good, yeah.
Yeah, I do like it.
Wendy's honey mustard is better than McDonald's honey mustard
but McDonald's sweet and sour is better than Wendy's.
Let's talk about that.
Yeah, sweet and sour at Wendy's is not hit the same.
No, it's not as good.
It's so interesting.
Like what are they doing differently?
Sweet and sour sauce at McDonald's,
you can drink it in a cup.
What's tricky for me is the Chick-fil-A sauces,
cause they have so many and I feel like some of like,
the Polynesian sauce, I was like, this is sometimes just,
sometimes I really like it, but other times like,
this is way too sweet.
But their Chick-fil-A sauce, like I love,
and then like KFC attempted a Chick-fil-A sauce
simulacrum called, I can't remember what it's called now.
They also have a Raisin Cane's sauce called Comeback Sauce,
which is not at all like work.
The KFC's Raisin Cane sauce isn't working.
But like, there's, I feel like almost too many options
at Chick-fil-A that can get analysis paralysis.
Do y'all like Raisin Cane's?
Love it.
Yeah.
The sauce is boss and the chicken is kicking.
Yeah.
That's what they say when you pull up to them.
I like it, yeah.
I just haven't had it a lot, but I should go back.
They just put one near my place and-
Oh, did they really?
I have to like stop myself.
Yeah.
They just put two places near me.
People see, people act like you can't walk.
Right.
In Los Angeles.
And I may be telling where I live right now,
I'm not telling you my exact address.
I just got an idea where you're at from you saying now. I'm not telling you my exact address. I just got an idea of where you're at from you saying this.
I'm not telling you my exact address.
But right near me is a, is a, uh, Randy's donuts.
Yes.
Oh yeah.
Jersey Mike's and round table pizza.
Wow.
Raising Canes.
Firehouse Subs.
Wow.
Habit Burger.
I'm telling exactly where I live.
People are going to find exactly where I'm at.
There's going to be a lot of chubby flannel guys
around that area.
You probably see, if you see me in a while, it's always cool.
But I never, like, I mean, I see people all the time.
Sure.
Especially like, but it, in that area is very walkable,
it's very, it's a lot of good places.
A lot of good places to eat.
What were we talking about before?
Well, you can find walkable neighborhoods in LA.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
But what you were, I think where we're coming from is I teed up,
like, what do you think about Raisin Cane?
Oh yeah, they just put a Cane's right there.
Cane's is good.
I like it, man.
They make it fresh.
Yeah.
The fries are always pretty good.
The sauce is great.
I am a slaw guy.
I do get an extra piece of Texas toast.
But I do like the slaw.
You gotta make yourself a little like half sandwich. Like take the Texas toast, put a layer of slaw on there.
Put a tender on there and some sauce
and you fold it up like a little hot dog.
Yeah.
Wow.
I love that.
There's...
Now look, would canes and would chick-fil-a,
even though they're eliminated,
and would Popeyes make the chicken tournament?
Probably. I mean like... Mitch, this is what I'm gonna say're eliminated, and would Popeyes make the chicken tournament?
Probably. I mean, like...
Mitch, this is what I'm gonna say.
When we did the chicken tournament,
Popeyes did not have the chicken sandwich.
Raising Canes was not out here yet.
I don't even know if it existed back in Baton Rouge
at that point. It's a pretty new chain.
What year?
2017?
Yeah, it was around.
It was still around?
Because I used to eat it in Vegas in 2008.
Oh, okay, okay. So it's been around for a while.
So, you know, Raising Canes wasn't out here.. Oh, okay, okay. So it's been around for a while.
So, you know, Raising Canes wasn't out here
and then Mitch, there's also places like
BBQ Chicken, the Korean chain,
and then Bonchon, which got six forks.
I feel like there's a lot more,
we could re-litigate the chicken tournament
and have a completely different victor,
but that's not what we're doing today.
Kyochon too.
You know what, I think y'all gotta do
a separate Korean chicken episode.
Man, I'd love to do that. Cause cuz you know first time I ever had Korean chicken
You know who put me on it was that man right here Wow?
John and Korea John John John's great, and I was I was skeptical cuz I'm a patriot yeah sure
I'm like bro. What you got me eating? I'm going to tell you something different. Especially with fried chicken. I'm like, bro, what you got me eating? And I took a bite and I was like, ooh.
Just trust me.
He was like, ooh.
Two.
Cha-ching.
I'm going to go real quick on the sauce.
I did put some of the hot, the fire sauce from Taco Bell on my original chicken sandwich.
That's crazy.
That shit was hitting.
Wow.
It was the hat.
I was almost in complete disqualification here.
It's okay. It was almost like in complete disqualification here. But it's okay, it's fine.
By the way, Jack Allison gave me an update.
They're similar to Alex Max, I said this,
I said to Drew, they added the effects
for the Capri Sun ads that are similar to Alex Max.
Nah, I wonder which came first.
I think Alex Max, that's what he said.
Yeah.
Weird period of time, lots of kids material
featuring like T-1000 living liquid metal,
which is true.
That's true, yeah.
And then he said, Happy St. Patrick's Day.
So we did not...
That's nice of him.
Could I go to Terminator or something?
What's that?
Like all that liquid stuff.
It was right around there.
It was all derivative of that effect.
Was Terminator the first, was that the first liquid metal?
Because I remember when The Matrix was out,
like I knew a guy who was in a Clorox ad,
like, a couple years after The Matrix,
and he did The Matrix, like, bullet time thing,
like, just in, like, a bleach commercial.
So, like, they just, like, every ad agency
is just imitate whatever is in pop culture.
All right, we should get to our finalist here.
We should decide who's going to the championship.
Oh, my God.
The ultimate winner of the tournament
is specified by Jess McKenna, will be sent to the first organism to crawl out of the sea who also looked like Billy Crystal to determine whether
they evolved to live on land or instead returned to the ocean to build a Pandora-esque aquatic
paradise of merpeople.
In other words, turn our dystopian earth into a utopian mirth.
And the winner of this matchup will advance to the MMX championship, which will be live streamed again Wednesday, March 26th.
That whole Murph bullshit, they just didn't even bat an eye on that fucking whole that bullshit.
On a biggie-sized paper chew event.
So everyone will write down who they think wins, Wendy's or Taco Bell in this individual matchup.
And then we will count down from three to one and reveal our winner in unison.
Mitch, you were saying earlier,
I feel like you didn't get to land the plane on this thought.
And I know you're writing down your answer,
but like,
like you said this was the toughest decision
you've ever had to make.
Is it that in the tournament of champions?
Is that in the history of this event?
I meant in my life.
In your life.
Wow.
I mean, like, come on, what decisions have I had to make in my life that In your life. Wow. I think, I mean, like, come on,
what decisions have I had to make, you know,
in my life that are that hard?
Yes.
And I think, I mean, specifically
for the Tournament of Champions, yes.
Testify against Diddy.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, what are you gonna do about it?
Well, because that could potentially incriminate you.
We'll see what happens.
I don't know if I'm gonna do it.
I think I'll probably go back out when I have to,
when, you know, hey, this goes for all you guys too.
I got my boys back no matter what.
So if anything bad goes down, I got your backs.
This, for two chains that I do love, Wags,
and I said that Taco Bell's
maybe my favorite restaurant at one point.
Am I showing my answer to the camera over here? No, I said that Taco Bell's maybe my favorite restaurant at one point. Am I showing my answer to the camera over here?
No.
I said that Taco Bell's maybe my favorite restaurant
at one point.
Wendy's really for so long,
but I'm judging on what I got today.
So.
Everyone can apply their own criteria.
I mean, you can judge it based off of today.
You can judge it based off of a lifetime of consumption.
I'm kind of integrating both,
but I think today's was pretty instructive.
And I will say, as I finalize my answer here.
What the fuck are you writing over there?
We recently with our buddy Jason Sheridan behind the paywall,
we did a chain rescue episode for Wendy's.
That's right.
And it's interesting that perhaps that was,
because we did it, we were like, Wendy's is flailing.
Wendy's needs some help.
What support can we offer it?
I'm not saying we deserve credit for it,
but perhaps that was the kick in the pants they needed
because Wendy's has been executing
throughout this tournament.
They're knocking out of the park.
It's what, you may not like it,
but this is what peak performance looks like.
That's my feeling about Wendy's right now
But let's uh, let's reveal our answers
We will turn these around on the side Carl said that you could you could you could dunk again
Yeah, if you wanted to if I wanted to you could turn back the clock you can rather be a frequent guest on this show
This is proving they can dunk still they They got it. They still got it.
They dunk now?
It could be like in a Horse Awakens, or sorry, Rise of Skywalker basketball parody.
After my episode six reference went over so well.
I think I made the, this is a hard decision, but I think I made the one I think is right.
I made the decision that is in my heart, but I have made peace with either of these going on to win.
I will count down from three to one,
and we reveal our answers and say aloud
who we think should win this first Final Fork matchup.
Revealing in three, two, one.
Wendy's!
Taco Bell!
Wow!
Wow!
It is three to one.
Wendy's has defeated Taco Bell.
You agree?
You agree with Wendy too?
I can't believe it.
You didn't put the neck thing inside.
If you look at Wendy's collar,
for those of you who like a little trivia,
if you look at Wendy's collar, it spells mom.
Wow.
Oh my god.
Just beautiful.
That's some good trivia.
Just beautiful.
Wait, is this in yours or just in the Wendy's regular?
No, it's in the Wendy.
Oh, yours doesn't have that.
I did it on mine.
Oh, you do have it in yours.
Yeah.
Wise, I can't believe this.
The dream of a Taco Bell versus Taco Bell finale is gone.
It is dead.
Taco Bell's first bid is eliminated.
Wendy's moving on to the championship, a Cinderella run.
Wow.
I can't believe it.
And I didn't even vote for Wendy's is one.
You know, I'm happy.
Right next to Lady Liberty, Wendy is beautiful.
She's a beautiful broad.
I love her just as much as I love Lady Liberty.
In the immortal words of Glengarry Glen Ross,
Wendy's is for winners.
Wow.
Well said.
You got to see the movie. Wow, Wendy's.
Moving on.
Just like a restaurant, we value your feedback.
Let's open up the feedback.
Holy shit.
Wendy's is in the finals?
Wendy's is in the finals.
I can't believe it.
But you know, hey, that's why we play the games.
Hey, let's open up the feedback.
Today's email comes from Luke.
Luke writes, in honor of Amelia,
I'm going to try this again with brevity.
My dad once yelled at me and my brothers
that dinner wouldn't be over
until we ate our KFC coleslaw.
It lasted like an hour and got super intense
and parentheses funny now.
Do the boys have any food trauma
that comes up every time they hear or see that food?
I mean, like I can certainly think
of food poisoning related things.
Like for like portobello mushrooms
for a while for me were a non-starter
because they had, like, a portobello mushroom,
like, related to food poisoning.
This just is a disgusting association.
But I don't think that's exactly what the question is asking.
And the question is, like, do you have some sort of memory
associated with a food that is associated
with some other trauma?
Also, what the fuck was going on with this guy's dad?
He was mad that his kids wouldn't eat the KFC coleslaw?
Gotta eat your vegetables.
Yeah.
It wasn't just mayonnaise.
Mayo to your mayo to vegetables.
Eat your fish to size.
I'm not tripping on the KFC coleslaw.
It used to have raisins in it.
Ooh, that's a great question.
I definitely had coleslaw with raisins.
I don't remember the KFC coleslaw having raisins.
Maybe it did.
That might have been Church's coleslaw that had raisins in it.
It was always good, I always enjoyed it.
We liked Church, when we did,
we haven't read Church's forever,
but we loved Church's chicken.
I'm not, I don't put no raisins in my potato salad,
but raisins and coleslaw.
Yeah, sure, that'll work.
Yeah.
I like a grape in my chicken salad.
Oh, that's a lot of fun.
I, there was-
Just one grape, or?
Well, you know, multiple grapes.
If you can afford, if the marketplace can afford the grapes, put as many as you want in there.
Uh, not too many, I guess.
Um, I'm gonna say, I told this before, Wise, but my mom was making lemon chicken, and I did throw up to go back to throwing up.
Yeah.
And I never have liked lemon chicken since then, like a lemon-style chicken.
Uh, but there's, honestly, I ate a sandwich at the airport,
a La Brea bakery sandwich, and I love La Brea bakery,
but there was a rock in it, you know?
Yes, yeah.
Wow.
And I, forever, cause I almost cracked my tooth.
I always think about that with La Brea bakery,
which they're great sandwiches.
I don't know what the fuck happened.
And bread and whatever.
But hmm, something like this that has that.
Like an emotional trauma.
That's what I'm trying to think of something
where there was a family fight or a friendship ended
and so that the meal I was eating at the time
was locked in my mind.
I can't think of something specific, yeah, go on.
As a member of the Dead Dad Club, I've made this joke
that you get a lot of, what are the fruit bouquets?
Edible arrangements? Edible arrangements.
That's like, so what I associate with edible arrangements
is like, my dad is dead.
You know what I mean?
Like I was just eating chocolate covered pineapple
and being like, oh, my dad's dead, this sucks.
But you know, it was good fruit I got from it.
Yeah.
Not worth the trade off we've said before
for the edible arrangement.
My grandmother used to make a chicken,
like a baked chicken casserole that was like really disgusting.
She did it with like canned chicken and none of my cousins liked it.
And we used to like trade on our plates when the adults weren't looking like,
if you take my casserole, I'll take your green beans kind of thing.
And there was one time that we had it and none of us ate it.
So none of us got dessert.
And then my grandfather sat us all down the next day and told us how disrespectful we were for not
eating dinner the night before.
I have not encountered chicken casserole again in my life
ever, but if I did, I'd be like, no.
Yeah.
Wow.
That would get you intense.
Canned chicken is I made my sister's buffalo chicken
dip with canned chicken once, and everyone was so mad.
It tastes like tuna.
Yeah.
It's not the same.
It doesn't work.
You got to just get that rotisserie.
You got to get the rotisserie, chalk it up.
You got to get the rotisserie.
The, I guess if I generalize this to spills,
I certainly have had a lot of spills over the years.
I do spill a lot.
I spilled this morning.
I dropped my French press on the floor
and fucking just shattered glass everywhere.
I spill a lot, too.
I spill my food all the time.
Yeah.
And I do have this thing in Karl knows
because I wear white a lot.
And I like my dad, he wears white a lot.
And he's, I think my dad's like the coolest guy.
Yeah.
But he never spills anything on it.
So I feel like I have this subconscious thing
where I keep trying to do that, but it doesn't work.
I always spill stuff on it.
It's really perilous to like, cause I also like to do that, but it doesn't work. I always spill stuff on it. It's really perilous to, like,
because I also like to wear white,
and yeah, that's a high-risk maneuver if you're a spiller.
I went to the movies, and I got a,
I was wearing a white, like, jacket,
and I got two hot dogs,
and then the mustard was, like, erratic.
It was, like, going everywhere when I was using the pump,
the AMC pump, but I didn't get a drop on my jacket
and I was more satisfied with that than like the movie itself.
Yeah, it's a beautiful thing.
I'm so happy that it didn't spill.
What was this white jacket you were wearing?
What was it?
I got this jacket in San Francisco.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, all right.
I bet it's dope, let me see.
I like it, yeah.
Tell me a picture of it.
Yeah, I will. I also spilled, this is one of my worst spilled stories. I had, it was my first day I bet it's dope, let me see. I like it, yeah. Show me a picture later. Yeah, I will.
I also spilled, this is one of my worst spilled stories.
I had, it was my first day in the writers' room.
Like I was like so excited.
I've never, you know, like never thought I ever get this far.
We ordered Thai food for lunch and we're all in the room.
I didn't really know what the hell I was doing.
Like I wasn't really talking, I was just sitting there.
Yeah, sure.
And the lunch came in, I had Pat see you,
and everyone left the room to go eat,
except for the show runner and the executive producer.
So just the three of us in there.
But they're not talking to me,
they're having like an important conversation
amongst themselves.
And then I dropped, the E-Pat CU fell off the table
all over the floor.
Oh my god.
And like, they didn't acknowledge it at all,
they just kept talking.
And then I was like, then I tried to clean it up.
It took like five minutes.
I cleaned it up and I put it back on the table
and it fell again right in front of it.
And they still did not acknowledge it.
It was so embarrassing.
Where did you put it?
It was on the corner, just on the corner of the table.
You do.
I put this shit on the corner like that.
Lamar is big on putting something on the corner of the table. You do. I put this shit on the corner like that. Like this.
Lamar is big on putting something on the edge of a table.
And it's the most anxiety.
I be trying not to disrespect his manhood,
but there have been times where I just like,
we be having a conversation, his drink be like right on the edge.
I just be like, yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh.
I don't know why.
I told you. I mentioned it lie. That's just my drink.
Don't be moving another man's drink.
It's my manhood right there.
I mentioned this on the podcast
fairly recently, Carl, but this was another tour
story where I had an open
coffee, like I got coffee and then I took
the lid off and we were in the car
because I was just like, just to cool it off. I don't even
remember this at all, but you just looked at me with
holding it, like knowing that I spill, holding like an open coffee in a moving car. You just like, just to cool it off. I don't even remember this at all. But he just looked at me with like, holding it like, knowing that I spill,
holding like an open coffee in a moving car.
He just go, Nick, what are you doing?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, it's so similar.
I feel like, it's like I don't learn this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know, I was like, I do it all the time,
but I'm not going to change, I don't know.
It's just what it is.
I'll be honest with you,
I would have fired your ass that day
if I was that show runner.
But what happened, did he, did he,
did he put it in the script or anything?
Or did he just never, even when it happened the second time,
he just didn't even, he didn't say anything?
Yeah, nothing, yeah, I guess the rest of the history,
no, I think like, he didn't really do,
I mean, he didn't say anything.
I just walked away, walked out the room,
just sat in my office, kind of by myself.
You had no lunch?
Yeah, pretty much.
Fuck.
Yeah, and then, but you know, whatever.
I was so excited that we actually were getting free lunch.
I was like, oh cool, I'll just get something later.
But I ended up doing really well there.
But yeah, I never talked about it with them.
I should bring it up now, now that we're friends.
Yeah, do you think they ignored it, or do you think they didn't see it?
I think they were being mean, and I think they were like, we're not going to acknowledge
this.
I think they knew how embarrassing this was. And I think they were like, we're not gonna acknowledge this. I think they knew how embarrassing this was.
And I think they were like,
we're gonna let him deal with this.
But it's possible they also were like,
it's less embarrassing for us not to say anything.
Like maybe they could have been processing it that way.
I don't know, I feel like in a comedy room,
it's like, you gotta say something.
Like it's like, I would much prefer you laugh at me
in this moment, but not laughing is like,
that's just so much more.
Yeah. By the way, you're kind of the only guy
not in the green hat gang, Twigs.
I got the green socks and the green My Spy Family shirt.
Yeah, but we got all three of us got green hat.
We had a different colored hat.
We got...
Emma gave us the...
Emma gave us the Conover light,
because Conover's got to be in here,
so we got to wrap things up.
I do wanna ask the dais real quick,
like where would you have voted in this,
in Taco Bell versus Wendy's?
If it was a tie.
If it was a tie.
I mean, I haven't had Wendy's in so long.
So I feel like I can't really say Wendy,
like my opinion on Wendy's.
So I guess Taco Bell.
By default. Yeah.
Wendy's W.
Wow. Wow.
Casey, once again, it falls to you.
Hypothetically here, there's no stakes.
I like Wendy's more, so probably Wendy's.
Wow. Wendy's would have won.
Wendy's wins clean.

Thank you so much for being here.
Thank you for having us.
What a joy.
Can we tell you something?
Can we make a world announcement?
We got a big announcement.
We got a big announcement.

No, the world premiere!
Yeah.
So you may have heard us watch the complete series
of Gossip Girl here with the headgun.
This was a headgun podcast.
Yes.
And we watched it.
It was called Xoxo Gossip Kings.
Great podcast.
With the great Blake Lively and the great Justin Valdez.
Yeah, though, yeah.
Two of our favorites.
Excuse me, doggy.
And that show ended.
I watched the whole series.
Well, there's another show that I've never watched before
that Lamar has watched and he told me that I should watch it.
And that show is called The Sopranos.
Wow.
Wow.
And so starting this summer,
over at Patreon.com slash Hollywood Handbook,
Lamar and I will be launching the show,
XOXO, by the beings.
Forget about it.
Forget about it.
What are you doing, what are you doing?
I've been wanting Carl to watch this show for so long. It is one of the best shows. I think he's gonna love it. It's gonna be great. What are you doing? What are you doing? I've been wanting Carl to watch this show for so long.
It is one of the best shows.
I cannot wait.
I think he's gonna love it.
I just rewatched all of The Sopranos in the past couple of months and it's fantastic.
There's so many things I can't wait for you to see.
I'm very excited to see it.
I'm a little bit nervous about the racism and if I want to continue to watch, I know
it's there.
I'm fine watching racism.
I'm a Patreon subscriber to Dope Boys. But I...
I...
I just have to get ready for it.
But I am... That will be launching this summer.
We're gonna watch the whole series,
hopefully before I have to go back to Wike in the fall.
And that'll be on Patreon.com slash Hollywood Handbook.
We gotta get out of here.
I'm so excited for this year.
I'm so excited for y'all's take on this.
I can't wait, yeah.
And just remember, they're not supposed to be heroes.
Even though a lot of the world took Tony Soprano
and his friends as heroes, they're not good guys.
You should be telling that to Amelia.
Yeah.
He's the good guy.
They're multifaceted.
All right, that's fair.
I wish we had time to ask about Satriales versus Vesuvio,
but that will have to be for a future episode.
Yeah, when he knows what it is.
There you go.
That is.
Oh, yeah.
That'll do it for this episode of Doughboys.
Until next time, for The Spoon Man,
I'm Michael Mitchell, I'm Nick Weiger.
Happy eating.
See ya.
Wow.
Woo.
