In 1997, video game developer Bungie began work on a sci-fi real-time strategy prototype set on a ring-shaped world, a premise borrowed from Larry Nevin's seminal 1970 novel Ring World. Over development, the concept was reworked into a first-person shooter, and in 2001, Halo Combat Evolved debuted alongside

the Microsoft Xbox, successfully launching both a new console and a new FPS franchise. And also in 1997, another ring-shaped soon-to-be phenomenon was put into the oven, as two Las Vegas-area homemakers and home bakers, Dina Tripp and Debbie Schwetz, launched a bakery laser-focused on the oversized doughnut-formed factor dessert known as the Bundt Cake. The Bundt Cake traces its existence to the post-war United States, where, in the late 1940s, engineer H. David Dahlquist designed an aluminum version of the ceramic German Bunkuchen Pan. Dahlquist debuted his metal pan and coined the trademarkable neologism Bunt in 1949, and by the 60s, Bundt Pans and Bundt Cakes were a staple of American desserts. Though the omnipresence of the Bundt

Pan in American kitchens has declined due to carb-conscious consumers and a general decrease in home cooking at large, the popularity of the sweet treat with Yankees has remained, as evidenced by the explosive growth of Tripp and Schwetz's chain to north of 430 outlets nationwide. Today, the Halo series has sold over 81 million units, and its latest entry, Halo Infinite, was lauded by critics, though the franchise is no longer in the hands of original creator Bungie. And also, the Vegas-based Bundt Bakery is now owned by Industry Titan Rourke Capital, the parent company of Duncan, Arby's, and Buffalo Wildwings. It just goes to show that in America, it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ring.

This week on Doughboys, nothing Bundt Cakes. Welcome to Doughboys, the podcast about chain restaurants. I'm Nick Weiger, along with my co-host, Paulie Smallnuts, the Spoon Man, Mike Mitchell. Rest in peace. R.I.P. Tony Sirico, courtesy of Forest from Long Island, roastspoonman at gmail.com, a fitting tribute to Paulie Wallnuts, his soprano's character. Was it? That's a fitting tribute to Paulie? I think so. I think so. I think it's nice. I think his estate would like that.

I knew this was going to happen. The AC people are calling me back right when we start the episode. Oh, boy. You want to take that real quick? Can I? Quickly. Go ahead. Mitch is going to hop on the AC. Hop on the call with the AC guys. While he's doing this, while he's filling this call, we'll hear a little bit of his audio here. I'll say that this is Weiger speaking. I went to Vegas this past weekend. This past weekend, as of this record, for people who've been listening to the podcast, you know that I have drastically cut back my meat consumption. I went totally meat-free in 2021,

no meat chile eat. In 2022, I've integrated some more proteins, animal proteins. I've been having mostly chicken and fish a little bit here and there. I went to Vegas and was just like, fuck it. What happens here? Stays here. I just went for it. Natalie and I went to a few different restaurants and I had some red meats if they were available. I went to this restaurant, The Black Sheep, which was off-strip, which was fantastic. It's a Vietnamese fusion restaurant. I'm not sure if they would characterize themselves as fusion, but it felt like they had some more. I'll say kind of like it was a Vietnamese kind of more of a fine dining umbrella, but it was fucking fantastic. It was really good, some outstanding dishes there.

The duck was the highlight, but also a great tres leches cake dessert. Just wonderful. You're really going to sell for a meal a little off the beaten path in Sin City. Go ahead and try out The Black Sheep. This is not branded content. Also, I had probably one of my favorite individual eating days I've ever had. First off, we went to get dim sum at this restaurant Ping Pang Pong, which is not the Golden Nugget. It's another one of those hotels that's been around for a while. It's a Golden Coast? Gold Coast. It's the Gold Coast, which is in Vegas, just a little off-strip, and it is, my God, just what a feast. What fantastic dim sum. It was just such amazing food. Every dish was hitting chicken feet, which I don't normally have. It was just so fucking good.

It was maybe the best individual dish I had the whole weekend. It was so fucking scrumptious, savory, well-seasoned, well-sauced, and then just the texture of it was divine. It was a wonderful dish. Then also, we got some tripe there. Natalie ordered a few different types of tripe, and the tripe was good. I'm normally a little iffy on tripe. I think a lot of Americans, maybe a little squeamish when it comes to innards, when it comes to awful, although I've gotten a little bit a lot more willing to go in that direction in recent years. That was fucking fantastic. Every dish there was dynamite. Absolutely great. Then at the other end of the spectrum, going in the whole hog white tablecloth restaurant, we went to Joe's, which is just like

an old school Miami steakhouse in Crab Shack. That was just a fucking fantastic meal. We got our server there, Jason, just an absolute king, just top flight. Dinner and a show, a great showman, and a great server. I was walking on clouds this whole day. So much of your happiness as a person inhabiting this earth for a short stretch of time is based on what food you put into your body. I had great foods and great drink the whole weekend. It was dynamite. It was fantastic. It was the whole reason to take the fucking trip, which is still on the phone with the A.C. company. That was Weigar's Vegas vacation. That was amazing. Let me tell you, I highly recommend all these restaurants, Black Sheep, Ping-Pang Pong, and Joe's. Ping-Pang Pong,

in particular, it's very budget-friendly. I feel like most dim sum restaurants, you're not necessarily breaking the bank unless you order absolutely everything. If you are mindful of what you're choosing, you don't have to go out of there dropping a lot of coin. But this place in particular, if you're going there, it's a little bit of a hotel that you go to and might be like, okay, this is maybe a little bit dingier, old Vegas style. This is not the fucking Bellagio with the $150,000 ceiling or whatever the fuck they got in there. This is you're in it. And so that's definitely a place I would recommend for anyone at any budget range. I think you should definitely check that out. Honestly, it was a fantastic experience. I got a way to go back.

What Mitch is still on the phone with the air conditioning company? I'm just so impressed that it's like, you could do a solo pot. You want to just do the rest by yourself? Yeah, maybe I'll just do it by myself. Maybe this is the new format. The solo cast. Mitch is on the phone. Mitch is taking his calls, his business and personal calls. I know he's got it. Mitch has a drop to play and I want to get to that. But Emma, how have you been doing lately? You're down in South Florida right now. Yeah, I'm down in Florida. We're good. It's been raining actually today. It was a huge thunderstorm earlier. So very rainy. It was raining today. Yeah. I'm sure you're not seeing much of

that at the moment. No, we're dry guys. It's been not particularly moist out here and certainly it was dry as hell in Vegas. Mitch, are you talking? Are you talking to us or are you talking into your phone? I think he's laughing at the phone call, but it looked like I thought he was laughing at us for a second. Oh no, he picked up his mic. Oh, maybe we caught the end of the phone call. What happened? Now we can't hear you. Are you not hearing us? There we go. Oh, there he is. Here we are. I haven't heard you for the entire time I was on the phone call. I didn't hear anything while I was on the phone call. Wow, you missed an incredible show. It was, what happened? What did I miss? I confessed all my deepest secrets. Yeah.

Jesus. He read from his diary. I went through my enemies list just one by one. Spoiler alert, you were on there. Mitch, how's everything okay with the AC? The show couldn't have gone this entire time I was gone. Could it have? It did and it was 100% wager running down his Vegas weekend and it was incredible. What the hell? I think you have a low bar for incredible, but that's very nice to say. Yeah, I just sort of listed through. I had a list of the places that I went to when I was eating some food in the Sin City when we were over there in the high desert. I want to hear about some of your deepest, darkest secrets.

Okay, we'll get into it. That's paywall. Creeped out a few Scoutmasters. I creeped out the Scoutmasters. Yeah. That's what happened to Boy Scouts. I was too forward. Role reversal. Yeah. I'm back. I'm here. I was talking the entire time, giving personal information in my address, so hopefully we edit that out. Anyways, we didn't hear anything. Yeah. All right, great. Wags, I'm here. Hello. Hi. Everything okay with the AC? Everything's fine with the AC. Emma was saying she was getting some rain down in Florida. I'm about to go back down to the bayou. Does it rain every day there like it does here? I could tell the 10-day forecast said just rain every day,

thunder and lightning. But I did hear a little bayou in your, hmm, there we go. Well, so the rain going to be falling down on the bayou, damn gators might be rose from this lumber, emerge from the swamp, enjoy some of the splishy splash of the water outside. That's right. They like all forms of water. They like the rain. They like the swamp. They like the Perrier. They love the Perrier down there. They do and so do the crawdads. You know, I heard them crawdads have been singing lately. I heard that the crawdads sing too. You know what's funny? Wags, I saw a preview for that movie and I thought it was a fever

dream that was like I was getting marketed to because I was in New Orleans. But the crawdads sing is a real movie. It's a real movie. The crawdads sing. It's a real movie. Maybe it's good. I can't believe it. It feels like the, it does feel like the world's a simulation that I'm down in New Orleans and where the crawdads sing comes out. I was in, just in Boston, Wags, I had some great lobster rolls when I was back home with Axman Axelrad. He was in Quincy for a day. You were talking about the lobster rolls in a previous episode and one thing I'll mention that I did talk about. I was. I already talked about the lobster rolls.

You mentioned this on a previous, maybe on a double, but you did talk about the lobster rolls with Axelrad and Mama Mitchell ended up wanting some lobster rolls as well. So we got our one. Yeah. You got our one. But the thing that we had, one of the dishes we had at Joe's, first of all, we had two, we had two kinds of shellfish that were both showstoppers. One was the mat was Madagascar shrimp. I don't know if you've ever had a Madagascar shrimp. I've never had one. It's a big boy. That's a, that's a substantial shrimp. That is a, that is a, a big honker. Like it's like, it's like a, a Frankfurter size shrimp. And yeah,

it was like a knock worst. And then we, so we had one of those, those were delicious grilled. And then also the, the stone, a stone crab claw, which is like one of their specialties. And that was just big shrimp. Sounds like a good big fish sequel. Big fish too. Big shrimp. Our guest is nodding as if that means anything. She gave it a thumbs up. She gave us a thumbs up. I, thumbs up for our guest. I think it's good. Our guest is very funny. So I think a thumbs up and a nod. Yes. Means it's good. Now is this movie supposed to be funny? I don't know.

Big fish too. Big shrimp. I don't know if it's supposed to be funny. I don't, I didn't, did you see big fish and ever saw big fish? I saw big fish and you know what? It's a tear jerker. I cried and then I jacked off. We can't do the show without you. You gotta be here. For a tear jerker? Yeah. Tear jerker, someone who uses tears to jack off. Sounds like my adolescence. All right, here we go. Wags, here is a little drop. Here it comes. This is so far from being played. I have it. Do you want me to play it?

No. Okay. Okay. You know what? No, Emma. You know what? Just no. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna make you do it. I'm gonna get the, I got it now. Let me just get it. I feel bad that I don't want to make Emma do all my, I can't have Emma do all my dirty work. I always have it ready. Sometimes we just never, sometimes we just don't have one. All right, I got it. I got it. I got it. It's all set up. It's ready to go. Wags, I think it's gonna be a good one. We're gonna get our guests in here.

Started the show off with a fucking five, seven minute combo about my fucking HVAC. That's ridiculous. I knew it was gonna happen. Yeah, it's fine. I did. I, what was I supposed to do? They called right when the fucking show started. The other thing we could have done for a damn week. Yeah, we could have stopped down and we could have waited for your phone call to finish. I mean, that's what I thought was happening. The fact that you went off, you went rogue and you started fucking, you were just, the guest wasn't even introduced, you were just talking on your own. Yeah, just a little monologue. It's insane. It's like the top of the Bill Simmons podcast. You should have been, you really should introduce

our guests. Coming up on the pod, coming up the pod, we got Joe Houses here. We're gonna talk about of the Washington Wizards overpaid Bradley Bale. And then we got a historian who is gonna discuss the legacy of US atrocities across the world. So that'll be interesting. Some truly sad stuff we'll get into. Then cousin Sal's gonna come in here. We're gonna talk about the best pizza to eat while watching football. All that. Then we're gonna rank, we're gonna rank Rick and Morty episodes. But first Pearl Jam. But first, a little drop. But for, yeah, there you go, perfect. You make me squeal. You make me squeal. You make me squeal like a pink little piglet. What does that have to do with giving it back to the boys?

Give it back to the boys. We like to talk about pigs. Boys do like pigs. The song should be about the hogs, baby. The song was good. You have to admit that. We love it. Yeah. I forgot about giving it back to the boys. That was a thing, that was gonna be a thing this year. We're gonna give it back to the boys. Yeah. I think they got it back. I think that's what happened. Yeah. Unfortunately, the boys got it back and it was bad for the world. Yeah. The boys on the Supreme Court, unfortunately. This is just not a fun thing to talk about. The world is bad. It's bad. So I guess giving it back to the boys, the idea of that kind of just kind of crumbled when women's rights were taking away. Woman's

autonomy. Grim reminder of our current health scape. But you know, Mitch, you know, it is fun talking with our guests. Nice segue. One of the funniest people around. Very, very excited. The world is hell, but you know, it is fun. The podcast, that's your segue. Well, the podcast isn't fun, but our guest is a delight. I didn't read the, I didn't read, you're going haywire here. Oh, I forgot. I didn't read. I didn't read who the drop was from. Hi, Doe fam. Once again, Mitchy is pitch perfect, Mitch perfect in parentheses. And I couldn't resist giving this one back to the boys. Problematic now. From a Doe boys fans wife, Kim from Cleveland. Thanks. Fucking Supreme Court pieces. We don't like them. We don't like old fucks.

Nacho Supreme. I'm in favor. Court Supreme. Get them out of here. All right. Introduce our guest. A writer and actor from Broad City and Jimmy Kimmel live in Brooklyn, 99. Becky Feldman is here. Hi, Becky. Hi, boys. Good to see you. Sorry that it's sorry we took a half an hour to fucking introduce you. No, it's fine. Listen, I have broken so many ACs and I get it. And it was like, if, if like the, if you were like the AC person called, I'm going to ignore it, like that would stress me out. So I'm so glad. I'm very happy. I'm very happy I took care of that. But sorry that we took us 20 minutes and then we so delicately talked about the Supreme Court and it's horrible ruling. But hey, we're here. We're here now.

We're in it. No more, no more Bill Simmons. Yeah, Bill's gone. Finally canceled. We're finally canceled. It was, it was a long time coming. He said something from the book of basketball resurfaced and he got canceled. Becky, we're very, very happy to have you on the podcast. It's been a while. The last time what we were talking about where we had you on, I think was October blessed, which was a couple of theme months in years past. But I want to start pretty generally because we haven't had you on the main feed before and it's well overdue, which is that like, do you eat chain restaurants? Do you eat at chain restaurants regularly? Are you a fast food fan?

I am. I do eat at chain restaurants. I feel like I go through like phases. Like when I first moved out to LA, I was eating Wendy's all the time. And then it was like El Pollo Loco all the time. And then, you know, so I think right now, I know this is a local chain, but California Chicken Cafe, I feel like I've been doing a lot of, yeah. Because it's, California Chicken Cafe has been around for a while and I dipped my toe in it back in the day. And then I was like, I don't like it. And then I've dipped my toe back in. I've been eating it recently because it's like semi healthy. But also, you know what I like about it? I don't know how you feel about this. I can get a chicken Caesar wrap. I just like getting, I like a chicken

Caesar wrap. They're huge is the only issue. It's probably like as bad as getting a big submarine sandwich, but the chicken Caesar wrap is good. And it's like one of the few places you can still get wraps. You can still get like a nice little chicken wrap, chicken and salad wrap. Totally. I don't usually get wraps. I usually get the salad there because they put pasta in the salad. Yes, they put pasta in the salad. That's why I like it. It's healthy with pasta. That's a good salad. That's like, that is like the California Chicken Salad, right? Is that what it is? I think so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do that one. That's good. I used to get the, yeah, I would pretty regularly get,

that was like a go to lunch spot for me for so long. And then it kind of got burned out on it. The FOD days, is that where, because it was near at one of the fun, it was near Funnier Die. One of the Funnier Die headquarters was walking distance to a California Chicken Cafe. I think it was like near like a couple of Funnier Die palaces, the gigantic fucking offices that they had while they were paying people zero dollars. Yeah. They spent a lot of money on the buildings and then they were kind of like out of money for the people, which I understood. You know, it was a business calculation. You have a nice headquarters, then you can't afford to pay the people who work there.

There was a slide. There was a slide that you could slide down from one floor to the other. And then when you got to the bottom, your wallet was empty, sucked into McKay's office. Real metaphor for .com access, just to fuck it. Why do we have a slide in our office building? What's the point of this? Yeah. Kind of downward trajectory, kind of like the company's stock price. That slide would be too scary. Fucking straight drop. Straight into hell. So, yeah, I would get that pretty frequently. But here's for people who aren't in LA and don't know California Chicken Cafe, it's basically like you can get yourself just a whole rotisserie chicken or a half rotisserie chicken. If you want to go that way, you can get,

you mentioned El Pollo Loco. It is pretty, honestly, oddly similar to El Pollo Loco, just more generally, it doesn't have as a more general vague American theming to it. And yeah, I would get like a chicken Caesar salad, which you'll get like kind of just their chunk breast meat in there. That felt like a pretty nutritious lunch and pretty yummy. It just, I kind of got, I had it enough. And the only protein they have there is chicken, right? They don't have anything else. So, if you get burned out on chicken or if you get burned out of their type of chicken, you just might be opting for something else. Oh, I get that. Yeah, you definitely need to like take a break from it and come back and

then like realize how much you missed it. I love when that happens. It's the best. That is nice. You know, I can't believe I already brought off the lobster rolls, but it was nice to have, I told you, Tony's clam chop, went to the clam box, got some clam strips and clam bellies, but it was Tony's clam chop to reiterate, to retell this story, which I guess I already told. But I hadn't had it like a lot of lobster roll in a while. And I was like, this is damn good. I don't usually take people to Tony's on the beach, but it's a Quincy institution. And then when my mom got it the next day, I was like, let's do it again, because I just

hadn't had it in so long. Becky, I'm this way with food. Like you're saying like when I get like intro, like when I, when it goes out of my rotation and it comes back, then I'll kind of run it into the ground too. Are you someone I can do like the same restaurant for lunch, like truly sometimes five days a week? Are you similar or do you need to change it up? Oh, I'm definitely similar. And then like I realized like maybe two and a half months in, I'm like, I've been getting the same like hummus, chicken, you know what I mean thing, and then I need to like take a break. But it's so funny you, you brought up the Madagascar shrimp, because that's a big shrimp, it's a big shrimp. And it was so big after that, I couldn't eat shrimp

for a year, because I was just like so shrimped out. You know what, I don't know what it was. I just like got like anti shrimp for some reason. But then when I had shrimp again, like we like did it on the grill, you know, with like corn and sausage and shrimp, it was so good. It was perfect. A mix with shrimp, that sounds great. Shrimp and sausage and some corn in there. That sounds fantastic. Delicious. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I always, so often I would eat shrimp solo. My mom would make a great shrimp cocktail. So it would just be, you know, that and cocktail sauce. But they were really good. But man, down on the bayou, Yikes. Down in that day of bayou. Well, we got a, you know, I think we just got the crawled ads. We also got the shrimp. And you

know, the crawled ads like to sing, but the shrimp like to dance. That's the sequel. Were the shrimp dance? You know, the shrimp also like water. They're like all sorts of water. They're like rainwater. They're like the lazy river. They're like a water slide. They're like the typhoon lagoon. Sometimes they like to get into a hot tub, but if that's too hot, they might cook themselves. That's right. That's right. When I watch you, then there won't be what? There won't be dancing no more, except on your taste buds. You know, the movie crawl, I like the movie crawl. This is the, this is a Gator movie? It's a Gator movie. I haven't seen it. The horrifying thing I heard is that when, when

things do flood down there is like Gators do just kill people. Is this too, is this too dark to talk about? No, I don't think so. It's the truth. No, I need to know that. When things flood, like Gators, Gators like do, it is crazy how you brought up the Supreme Court earlier and now you're like, oh, but is our Gators too dark? I know that all of it is, I mean, the Supreme Court is darker than Gators killing people and floods. It's true. But, which is insane, but yeah, Gators will like, like when there's hurricanes and stuff and, and, and the, and the, and the water's rise, the Gators will, Becky, it is, it's pretty wild down there. I'm sure. I said to Nick, they like, they, they talk about neutral rats, these big ass rats,

these just giant rats that the size of beavers, but they have rat tails. And I told you that they'll bite the legs of the, of like horses or cows and then they get infected and then they fall over and they'll just drag them into the river. That's what I was told. Wait, so, wait, hang on, a rat will drag a cow into the river? Like a group of these, they're neutral. Oh, a group. Okay, got it, got it. Okay. But like even a small rat dragging a cow is insane. It's insane, right? They're like, they're, they're huge. Or maybe it was, I mean, they'll bite the ankles until it's infected and then like, they'll fall, like they're, they're, they basically will like fall over and then they'll drag them into the water.

Neutral rats. You got it. Are you looking up neutral rats? Yeah, I gotta, well, I think I got a pick of a, of a neutral rat right here. Hold on. I know it's, I know what it's going to be. Hold on. Let's see. Please be what I think it's going to be. Okay. Is that look like what you're it is what I thought it was going to be. Yeah. Yeah. Those things are scary. It's a picture of back koalic. Also us too. Where, where, if koalic is in the middle of us. Koalic, koalic with the dough boys. Dough boys for dominoes with neutral rat. We love VK. Well, the, the, uh, it's a, yeah, the, the, those, uh, those things are scary.

Actually know about neutral rats from Seinfeld, right? Like that was like a thing because George Costanza gets the fake or is it Jerry gets like, no, George Costanza gets the hat. It gets the, like the Russian style hat, uh, that, that, that, that, uh, uh, Elaine buys with a, with her corporate card and then she gets audited. So she finds her cheap replacement hat, but the replacement hat is made with Nutria, which is like rat fur. Oh, okay. That's funny. Yeah. That's a good episode. It's like Kenny Rogers roasters episode. Makes our top 100 Seinfeld moments today on Bill Simmons podcast. He do like the top 91 Seinfeld moments. He can never do any of the numbers for some, for some reason. Got Van Latham here. Nick, I want, I want to talk, we never talked about this on

the podcast, but Becky, we were up and we were up in, uh, Seattle and, uh, we want to remember we went on this little ride wise. We never talked about the ride. We went on a ride. We went on a ride. This is, you put your foot down. We were at the pier and you said, we have to ride this ride and we rode it. Yes. And it was like, basically it was, if you know the, the Disney attraction soaring over California, I don't know if they have the equivalent one in Florida, but it was basically that, but it was soaring over Seattle. Washington. Yeah. Washington. Soaring over Washington state. Yes. Um, it was like definitely a knockoff and they had like some indigenous themes to it. It was kind of strange. Um, great actor. The guy was a great actor in

the beginning. Guy was a great actor. Yeah. Uh, the guy playing the park ranger. Yeah. We went on it and it was, it was a blast, but also there was a really funny moment where like, we, it's like, whoa, we made it to the top and then you're supposed to get sprayed. And then the little, the water thing went, do you remember that wise? When the little water went, it was great. Very, very small amount of spray. Mookie and I will still do a tss to each other every so often. Becky, have you, since, since, since, since all this went down, since the, uh, since, uh, since COVID start, have you been, have you been to Disneyland? Are you Disneyland person in general? I am not. And here is something nuts is that I have yet to

go to Disneyland out here in California since I've moved here. Um, I know. It's been over a decade, right? You've been here for a while. I've been here for almost 16 years and I, like, I know. And like, I've been to the Florida Disney world. I've been to Euro Disney, but like, I think like I've been to Anaheim, but I've never like gone into the park and like done rides. That's so funny because it's like, why else would you go to Anaheim? I just wanted to see what Anaheim was like, you know, day trip to Anaheim. Here's, here's the, here's the other, I'm making myself comfortable here, by the way. Here's the, here's the other crazy thing about this is that you were surrounded by like such

dorks in the comedy world that like, like did go there constantly. I feel like, I feel like it would have been hard to not go. Right. Yeah. It almost like became like this bit for me then because it was like, okay, it's been five years and people are like, that's ridiculous. And then it was 10 years and that's ridiculous. And now it's almost, it's like more than 15 years. And now I'm like, should I just like keep, like I want to go real bad. I want to go. I've watched ride videos on YouTube to see what the rides are like. But I'm like, should I commit to this bit that only I find funny of not going to Disneyland? Well, Becky, I got news for you. The Doughboys are going to take you to Soaring Over Washington. Great. That's even better. Perfect. Perfect. You'll get to

experience the little. Now that sounds great. I like a small, I'm like an, I don't, I'm not like a getting, I don't like getting wet, like, you know, like ride wise. A little spritz. I'll do a spritz. But like. Which also. Yeah. Something Gators like too, Wags. We got it. When we do, we've talked about doing a Disney month. I mean, we've talked about doing Disney stuff for a while. So we'll go down there. Talk about any of the podcast. I said we've talked about a lot of things. I mean, sure, we do talk about a lot of things. Including any of the podcast. I said we probably talk about that the most. You got to go to Disney. What are you going to wind this thing down?

I know. I do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I, yeah, like I feel like I'm going to, I have to go before I die. And like, I know that's, I know, I don't even know. Far way off. I know it's far way off, but I'm just like trying to think of like, what are some milestones in my life that are going to happen? And I guess death? I don't know. I'm going to go. I just like need a, I just like need a good excuse. I just need like, I was like, oh, maybe on my 50th birthday, I'll go. But if there was like another reason for me to go that was like celebratory and fun, hands down, I would go. I'm just trying to find the right moment. We got to get you to Disney. I know. I mean, it's, I have a love hate relationship with it,

of course, because it's an awful company, but it is great. I mean, Disneyland is great. Yeah. And I'm like working on a project about theme parks. And like, I am not ever into Disneyland. Like I feel like people are going to listen to that now. They're like, aren't you working on a thing? And I'm like, and I have been lying. I've been like, yeah, Disneyland, favorite place. And I'm like, yeah, that ride. I love them a little mermaid ride. And it's like, I do. I love the video that some kid took of the little mermaid ride that I watched on YouTube. I think if you ride that ride in person, you're going to find out you don't like it is my guess. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. I mean, it is kind of a shitty,

I mean, you know what? It's a cool dark ride. I'm a ride watcher. I'll watch the, but it never does it. It's not the same feeling. You gotta go. I get that. Yeah. I get carsick. Like, I'm so fun. I get carsick very easily. I don't know if that happens to you guys, but like sometimes like, I'll just like, it'll be like, I'll eat something weird or something. And I don't know why. And then I'll just like be like, oh man, I'm a little dizzy. And I just you're talking to the right person here. I definitely get carsick. I mean, it happened the last time we were together wise. You got carsick. Yeah. You were driving by not, not, I didn't puke, but I felt like, well, I did.

I was driving. You got carsick. What are you talking about behind the wheel? What was this? You said the last time we were together, which was when we were, when we took the tour to, I, well, wait, I got carsick another time, but I was thinking of like when we were going, we were driving from Boston to Fox Woods and back. I got carsick on that trip, but then there was also. You got carsick in San Francisco. I got carsick in San Francisco as well. Yeah. Multiple times.

That's a carsick town. Yeah. I have to look like for what helps me is looking out a window. Becky's right. The hills. The hills will do it. But are you saying that like, like, are you worried about carsickness extending to roller coasters? Well, it's almost like, I think it's not even, it's like a little nausea, but also like a little vertigo-y. Like I think getting like, do you guys get vertigo? Like where the ear crystals fall out of your, you know, that syndrome, you know, I'm worried that the roller

coaster is going to knock the crystals. You know, the crystals. Do you know what I'm talking about? Like with like the vertigo thing? No. I don't know. I don't, I actually don't know what you're talking about. I want to know. There's like crystals in your ear. I think, I don't know. But like, there's like crystals in your ear and like, and it helps with your ear balance. It's not crystals. Like it has like a medical name, but like sometimes they get like knocked around and then you get vertigo and then like you do this thing, like it's called like an Eppley maneuver and it's like you like sit on your bed or something and then you turn your body like diagonal and then you like fling yourself back and then you turn the other way

and then you fling yourself forward and it's supposed to put the crystals back into like where they belong. That's not crazy. I feel like I'm nuts right now. Like what have I been doing on my bed? I know what you're talking about. Okay, cool. Thank you Emma. I just googled, I just being for for ear crystals and there was all that came up was this episode of Doe Boys with Becky Feldman. So I think maybe your thing. It probably is. Yeah, I apologize to spreading out medical and misinformation to everyone. That's wild. I'll have to look up the Eppley maneuver. I like that why you're compared a roller coaster to a car ride, like an amusement park ride to a

car ride. You were saying, you were saying you get, you get car sick like an amusement park, you get car, they're completely different things, right? There's not the, it's not the, you know, you don't get car sick in an amusement park ride, right? Sure, but if you're prone to motion sickness perhaps, like because I also get motion sick on boats. I just, I just, I just picture you like on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. I picture you on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride in like you considering it like an Uber ride. Ah, cool. I got from one destination to the next. Thank you, Mr. Toad and just walking off. Five stars. You go to hell in that ride. I can't believe they haven't, they haven't adjusted that with considering how much Disney

stuff they retconned that they haven't gotten rid of the you going to hell in Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. It's wild. They've added people who have died over the years into that scene in hell. Welcome to hell. It's me, Nixon. I did Watergate. He confessed. One, one of the biggest sins, one of the biggest deadly sins, Watergate. Hey, where's Epstein? Now he did a Watergate. Gators like Watergate too. They like all sorts of water. Watergate. Watergate, more like Watergator. Disney's great. You got to go. You got to get Churro, Rise Pirates of the Caribbean. We should go. We should go. We should go. Yeah, I'm down. Absolutely down. Down to go. You got to go. It's been too long. We'll go right now. We'll come back.

chain, Nothing Bunt Cakes. Oh, no. Oh, no, Morty. Bill Simmons, he's talking now the best Rick and Morty episodes. I forgot how to do Morty. How does he sound? I forgot how to do him. You said that sounded okay. Yeah. Wait, is Morty the kid? No, I don't know. All right. Maybe you should watch the show. That sounded right. No, is it Rick is the kid? Oh, that sucks. Oh, shit. That sucks, Morty. Oh, wait, no, Rick is the grandpa? Yeah. Morty seems like an older man's name, no? Oh, well, I don't know. It does seem like an older man's name, but if you think of it as like Marty McFly and Morty is like the, you know,

because that's kind of their space stuff of that clearly. Oh, well, I really blew this off. I told you I had something for when we came back for break. Yeah. This week on the pod, we're going to be talking about the top seven Doe Boy's whiffs. Let's see where Mitch is Rick and Morty bit. Surprisingly, it doesn't even make the top 10. Sorry, top 11. She has a lot of whiffs. First period of jam. So let's talk a little bit about Nothing Bunt Cakes. And this is a chain that, as we were talking about before we started, founded in 1997 in Las Vegas,

which I talked about earlier, Dina Tripp and Debbie Schwetz founded it, and it has 430 locations in 40 states. The sweaty ball ladies? I'm not sure if she's related to the sweaty ball empire, but you know, one could perhaps assume. 430 locations. And this is a place that I did not really know was a chain. Becky, we're talking about this too, because there's one you're nearby and you did not know as part of a greater chain, but this is like a big chain. Yeah, I had no idea. Like honestly, like, I've never saw, and I've never seen anyone go into the Nothing Bunt Cakes where I live. And like, I thought, I'm like, this is going to close soon. I'm not going in.

What would be the asshole in this local business? I have a very similar thing in my head where I'm like, no one's going in that place just if I don't go to it. And I just think that it must be a, it must be some sort of failure if no one else, if I'm not going into it, it must not be working. Right. I mean, yeah. It is a true mystery chain. I agree with you. I knew nothing about, I didn't even know this place existed until this episode. Until I was assigned to eat there from my boss, Nick Weiger. I'm your boss? Kind of. Aren't you the president of Doe Boys Media? I am the president of Doe Boys Media. And I'll never pull a watergate. Are you saying I'm the Cheney? I'm the man pulling the strings?

You are the Cheney. You're vice. I'm going to say this. Becky, I want you to continue on here, but I have such a sugar high. This maybe feels like one of the most unhealthy episodes we've ever done. Bites from about eight Bundt cakes. And I feel fucking insane. But so there's one near where you live, basically. Yeah. And you never stepped foot inside of one? No, I honestly, again, I feel bad for the Bundt people. I thought it was close. I honestly didn't even think it was still open. I don't know. Like when you walk in, it's very inviting. But outside, it didn't look open to me.

No, I went to the Manhattan Beach location. It has that vibe of you'll go to a strip mall and they'll be like, oh, whatever. This dry cleaner looks like it's been closed for 10 years, but they just tell the storefront up. It has that vibe from the outside. Yeah, yeah. I did not go into a location. I got them delivered. So I still have not set step. I've never seen this place before ever. I had a packed day yesterday, why? So it basically, I got the Bundt cakes right before I went to the dentist is when they arrived. Great timing. Which is not good to wolf down a Bundt cake right before you go to the dentist. But that's

what I did. Wait, you did? Yeah. You ate one immediately? Yeah. That's insane. It was good. It was actually really good. I ate two Bundt cakes yesterday, not four. Wow. Yes, but the Bundt dinis or whatever, like the tiny little like, yes. There's the Bundt dinis and there's also the Bundt lits. There's three sizes. We should clarify. So when this place says they're nothing Bundt cakes, they ain't lying. It's all that pun. There's truth behind that pun. Every single item they sell is a Bundt cake or some sort of Bundt cake accessory because they do have stuff for dads and grads and birthdays and shit. But as far as the food goes, it's all Bundt cakes. So they have the full size Bundts.

They have those coming eight or 10 inches. And then you also get the Bundt lits, which are the smaller, which are like the mid-sized ones. And that's the direction I went with. And I'm tasting some of these now as we go because it's just like the, they have 11 flavors and it comes in a box of 12. So it's like, well, I can try everything. And these seem like they're close enough to the full size Bundts where I'm not going to get some massive textural difference. And then they also have the Bundt dinis, which are like mini cupcake sized. Oh, it's all Bundt. It's all Bundt cakes. Yeah, it's all in the shape of Bundts. Yeah. I guess I didn't know what a Bundt was like before. Like I thought that Bundt cakes were like coffee

cakes or like cake, like brunch, like brunch food or like afternoon tea cake. But these were like really cakey. Yeah, they have a specific like sort of form factor that I always think of as the Bundt like. I never, I thought Bundt cakes were more dry. These are kind of moist. They are very moist. They're really moist, which is maybe a thing working for them. Wise, you were just, you talked about your Vegas trip. Did you go to nothing but Bundt cakes, the original? No, I didn't think to, I maybe could have. I mean, probably wouldn't have been worth my time, you know, on a vacation to make a little trip, side trip for something work related, but I could have. That's like your MO. That's what we did last time we were in Vegas. When I

went with you, we went to Margaritaville for the podcast. Oh yeah, but we, we left, we left a pool party and went to Margaritaville. All right. Well, that was a different story. Well, that sounds great actually. Like there's nothing like leaving a part, like leaving a party to go to a chain, like that sounds delightful. It was great honestly. It kind of was actually pretty great. And we also still has a couple of drinks. Wise, if I remember correctly, you got carsick on the ride down to that Vegas trip. I did get, yeah, well, this was, this was a bachelor party. The only bachelor party I've ever been to, maybe the only one I'll ever go to. But the, it was a, they got a party bus. So we're on the party bus and I got, I get very motion sick on the party bus. And I did a

point where when we, and there was also an element of the, this was not really, but the party bus broke down, which was another thing, just like this fuck that we were just stranded by the side of the road to party bus for like three hours. And then cops gave us ride to a gas station. Yeah. We got, we got, we got rides from the highway patrol to a gas station and they were, they were real dicks about it. And then we, remember they went like a hundred miles per hour. They were driving super fast and they were like being like very curtain and mean. It's like, oh, whatever. Anyway, so the, I liked them. A, A, T, A, B. Anyway, so we, we got there and, but I got so motion sick on the way there

that I, I bought a, a one way plane ticket on the way home. I was just like, I can't fucking ride in this party bus again. I'm just going to throw up. I almost puke. It's just very funny that it was like a big, like a big bus of like a, of a, of a lot of funny people in there in, in this like bachelor party bus going out of Vegas and Weigar immediately was like, I don't feel good. Does Natalie basically just, does Natalie basically just put a fucking a bib on you and give you your switch and put you in the back seat and just hope that you don't get sick? No, I'd let, you know, honestly, that's more than anything a trigger for motion sick. This is looking at a fixed point. If you read, you're looking at a screen, you're looking at a phone,

a switch, a switch, even a, even a book. They're going to get motion sick. No. Yeah. I can't look at my phone. If I'm a passenger in a car and someone's like, can you tell me where like the address is? I can't look at my phone. Well, also cause I'm lazy, but like also because I'm like, I just can't look at my phone if I'm a passenger in a car. Yeah. I'm like, we can we pull over and then I'll look it up and then we can go. And then they're just like, and by they, I mean, Natalie is like, all right. When you say, can we pull over your riding like space mountain at a Waffley's New Orleans? Five stars.

Wags, I, you saying that this place is originated in Vegas makes sense to me. Yeah. It feels like a va, it feels like a kind of a, look, I'm not saying that it's bad, but like nothing bunt cakes. It's started in Vegas. It's kind of like a sprinkles, right? This place is kind of like a sprinkles. It's gimmicky and a lot of it is about the presentation about the show because this stuff is very nicely presented. I'm holding one of these bunt cakes now and it's got kind of this, uh, this, this octopus of frosting over the top of it. Yes. Like it's got like these long tendrils of frosting and then just the gigantic dollop. Honestly, it's like too much. It's too much. The dollop is, we gotta get into the dollop. Yeah. The dollop is, and look, maybe

if you get that big bunt cake, it's, it's, it's, it's a different thing, but Becky, I wonder how you felt about this too. The reason I have this crazy sugar high right now, I think is this frosting. I'm more of a cake guy than a frosting guy. I like the cake more than I like the frosting. Yeah. You can get it around a little bit, but it's the, the tentacles and then that center part really get you. And it's just my fucking shinger, my shingers, my fingers are shaking. Yeah. I got shaky, I got shaky shingers. Yeah. Oh my God. I, I'm shaking right now. Like the frosting to cake ratio was off because I found the frosting to be a little thick. And so you know how like in, in the, in a bunt, there is like a hole, you know, and they fill the entirety of the

hole with frosting and that, and it just like messes up for me the ratio and like, and like, so I would have like, like just forkfuls of frosting, which is like, oh my God, I'm getting cavities right now. And then I would get like a little bit of cake and like, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. It wasn't like, it was a good try. You know what I mean? Like it was a good try. The frosting is just a lot. Wags, were you pissed off to see that the hole in the cake was filled up with frosting? Meaning to imply, I'm going to have some sort of, perform some sort of sexual act. I was implying that he was going to fuck the bunt cake in some way was what I was

That's what it's for. Okay. I gotta go back. You're back. You tell, you're like, I found out what the hole in the bunt cake is for. They're like, what the fuck is this lady talking about? Can I get a refund? I used this wrong. And they're like, yes, of course. Now that you say that, I'm like, oh yeah, every bunt cake I've ever got has not been filled with a gigantic dollop of cream cheese frosting. The frosting, look, I got every single cake they offered. And I think that we probably all did, right? We've tried every, we tried every cake. And I thought that the cakes mostly tasted good.

Like, I think that they were, they were moist. A lot of, a lot of good flavors, you know, I think that I had like five or so flavors that I was like, this is really good. I would eat, I would, I would eat this again. But as time went on, just tasting all of them. Also, I mean, I know it's not natural to eat, you know, to taste 11 of these at once or whatever, eight of these. I had, I tried a few other ones last night. But after, as time went on, that the frosting just fucking really took over. It was, it was, it was, it was, it was, the frosting was, was really too much. The wags is, is eating something. Are you still eating? I've been chomping through a few of these as we, as we go. I just had the chocolate chocolate chip. Hey, you know what, one of my

faves. That one was good too. Yeah, I liked it too. Yeah. The cake's really good. And I was just going to say that, that Mitch, I think that's a real, that's spot on. The, the cake for each of these, by and large, a few of the flavors are, are like hit less than others. But by and large, the cake is high quality. It's moisture than you'd expect, as Becky was saying earlier. And it's, it's flavorful. It delivers on what the flavors say they're going to be. But there's so much icing. And it's also all cream cheese icing. And I would think for a place that offers some, a lot of different cake flavors and some degree of customization, you can certainly customize how you want your icing presented. And maybe if you choose some

of the, you know, other presentations, maybe it's a little less forward. But I would have liked some different frosting options as well. Like can I just get like a standard vanilla frosting? It's just, it's all cream cheese. Yeah. Or like even like sometimes like there's like a, a glaze. Is that what it's called? Like it's not frosting. It's like thin, you know, like sugar water that heartens or whatever. Yeah. I was like, that surprised me, especially finding out that this company's been around since 97. I don't know. Like I, again, I don't mean to be crazy. I mean, business is hard. I get it, you know, you can't, you can't, like I understand, like maybe frosting is inexpensive. It's like the paying the employees the funny or die. I get it.

But they would think they would diversify the flavoring that goes on top of the cake. I'm looking at, I'm looking at nothing bun cakes. And if you, you guys went to the stores, but it looks like there's some slides, you can slide down to a second level. Oh boy. It looks, it looks very much like your office. Yeah. Yeah. No, you're, you're, the fact that there's not different frosting options, the fact that there's no option to not have frosting, that is weird. Why, why'd you not, like how, I mean, you have like all these great flavors of cake.

How do you not change things up with the frosting? It just doesn't make sense to me or just have it, or have the option to not have it. It's just so overwhelming that I would like to try something without, without the frosting on top of them. It just makes me wonder, like, is, like, do I not understand society? Like, where like, they're like, okay, we've done tests, we done testing with like, you know, test tasters or what, taste testers or whatever. People are okay with cream cheese frosting. Like, did they do that statistical study and like, I'm just wrong and like, overly picky? You know what I mean? Could be. I mean, like, you know, look, I like cream cheese. I like

cream cheese icing. It's just, and, and part of it might just be that the purposes of this exercise, like what we're doing for this podcast might just be like, it becomes overwhelming because of the way we're eating these. And maybe if you're like, like, hey, this is an office party, we got ourselves the eight inch bundt cake and everyone's going to have one slice for, you know, for Bill's birthday. We're going to like, like, like, if that maybe in that situation. This is the Bill Simmons podcast office party. This is the ringer office party. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I'll have 91 button cakes. So he's got like a, yeah, whatever the situation, like, like, like, in that context,

the icing may be less overwhelming, but, but with the bundtlets, it's just like, it's so much the ratio is off. And I'd like a different, I'd like some different options. That said, let's talk about some of these individual flavors because I'll run down all of them. And, and then we can just go back and touch on any we want to hear the flavors you get in the 12, the 11 flavors that they offer, which are 10 regular flavors and one seasonal flavor. The seasonal flavor right now is key lime. The other flavors are carrot, chocolate, chocolate chip, classic vanilla, confetti, gluten free, chocolate chip cookie, lemon, red velvet, snickerdoodle, strawberries and cream, and white chocolate, strawberry.

I'm sorry, white chocolate, raspberry, strawberries and cream, white chocolate, raspberry. Those are the two berries. I was going to say, are there, are there any of these that you didn't like because I actually didn't really dislike any of the cakes that much. I thought all the cake flavors were actually pretty good. There was nothing I disliked. There's like some I liked more than others. Same, same. There's nothing I really disliked. Like, I feel like there was nothing that like I wouldn't crave. Like, you know how there's like, sometimes there's like desserts that you're like, I would rather have like fudge over like an apple pie or something. And it's like, but like in this instance, I feel like- Wait a minute, fudge over an apple pie.

Yeah. Oh my God. Uh-oh. Yikes. I'm not sure we're following this. I am a chocolate per, like I'm very much into chocolate. I love chocolate. And so I feel like that to me, for me, is like the epitome of dessert. So if I had like two desserts in my fridge that were like apple pie and like chocolate, I would probably go for the chocolate. That said, cake wise for this, I thought that they were all the same. And like, I would gravitate towards the key line. And I would gravitate towards like strawberries and cream, even if a chocolate were offered to me. That's how good I thought the cake was. Becky, this is sensitive question. You don't have to answer it if you're not comfortable,

but are you a certified chocolate? I mean, I didn't want to. I didn't want to get too personal on the podcast, but you know, we talked about the Supreme Court, so we may as well get serious here. I am certified chocolate. Oh wow. Becky, I chew in my certified chocolate. Okay. Chocolate's my favorite dessert, but we got to get back to something here. Do you eat, hold on a second, do you eat apple pie with fudge on top of it? No, I would never do that. I will always think, choosing fudge over apple pie. You're not saying putting fudge over an apple pie.

I thought you were saying that you put like hot fudge on apple pie, and that was where my concern was. Oh no, I would never. The only thing that goes on apple pie is vanilla ice cream. That's the only thing you can put on there. But I know what works pretty damn good. Slice of sharp cheddar cheese. Trust me. I don't know if I've ever done it. I don't think I've ever done it. It's fucking terrific. I've had apple and cheese pie, which was really like, I think there was like cheese in the dough part. It was so good. That sounds awesome. Yeah. I've been, there's an Instagram follow. I'm going to plug this Instagram.

It's a sandwich Instagram. Oh yeah, this guy rules. Sandwiches of history. Yeah, I toss it on the text chain that you're on. Yes. No, you turn me on to this guy. He's great. You saying that thing of the cheese on the apple pie. Yeah, sandwiches of history. That's what this guy makes. He makes like a sandwich, where he's like, from like the 1919 cookbook, like great sandwiches for your husbands, like that's what we'll be called. It's also something like chauvinistic and dated. And it's like cottage cheese, black olives, and salted ham on pumpernickel.

It's like some weird ass combination, but sometimes they sound pretty good. So many of them are on buttered bread. So many of them are buttered. Yes. And then he'll plus them up. He'll sometimes try it. I mean, this is almost every post. He'll try it and then be like, I'm going to plus it up and then he'll add something to it to try to make it like a little bit better. But dude rules cheese, cheese on apple pie feels like something from like the from 1915 or something. I've never had it. Yeah, I wouldn't be great. I don't I don't know, but it does seem strange to me. It does seem like a weird the savory and the sweet mixing is not is not always my

my favorite thing, but I'll try it. Wags. I will if you say it's great. I'll believe you. I will try it. The right pie, the right cheese. It's great. I will tell you this. My my my family celebrates Thanksgiving like we don't like we're Jewish, so we don't celebrate Christmas Thanksgiving. Very big for us. My dad will make at minimum 100 pies like he is a pie guy. And so he'll make like an apple pie and then like then there'll be a so point is when it's dessert time, all of us we usually have like three pies for dessert, you know, it's like three different types of pies. Sure. I will say using cheesecake as ice cream for your apple pie. Highly recommend that is cheesecake. Yeah, like the out of mode is the

cheesecake and I enjoy that very much too. Yeah. That's intense. I love it. Going into a pie pie cake in territory to pie cake. Yeah, I mean, I guess it might depend on the cheesecake to like flavor wise, but like a plain cheesecake instead of vanilla ice cream. I recommend it. That sounds awesome. Yeah, it does sound good. I Becky, I'm like you. I'm a chocolateolic first. I'll go for the chocolate. In fact, if there was a chocolate cream pie, that's the one that I'd be eyeing right away. I like chocolate. I know what you're saying here. And I actually think that this place does do a good job of because I had the, for instance, I think it was the white chocolate raspberry. Very good. That was a great one. I had that with Mookie last night. He was

over here helping with the audition. How fun. Did a little audition and then I treated him to a Bundt cake. We ate some Bundt cake together. I'm making Mitch re-audition for Doe Boys, so Mookie helped him out, read my lines. Mookie's a great actor, but like to get like the monotone robotic voice of you down is really hard. Yeah, he has too much charisma, too funny. He can't pull it off. We just had Siri end up reading your lines. But that, so that white chocolate raspberry we both liked, he was the surprise for me, one of the surprise for me was the gluten-free chocolate chip cookie was really good. That was great. That was surprisingly good because it was gluten-free. It was, it was,

it was pretty fantastic. I did notice the, that one was a little bit drier than the others, and I think if I hadn't seen that it was gluten-free, I'd be like, this one's kind of dry and seeing this gluten-free is like, I get it. Also a little surprise that they don't have a non-gluten-free version of that one, because it seems like a very down the middle. Sure, but also I will say for gluten-free, it was still pretty moist. It was, yeah. I know that's a gross word that people don't like, but it was, it was pretty, it was moist-ish. Yeah, I'm with you. Becky, what were some of your faves of the bunch? So my top three faves were,

um, surprisingly red velvet because they put chocolate chips, yeah, they put chocolate chips in the red velvet, and I always appreciate that. Like I want my red velvet. I want a reminder that my red velvet is chocolate. I mean, I don't, I, I know that there's so many opinions on red velvet, but I like thinking my red velvet is just red chocolate. I thought that was good. I thought the confetti was good because the confetti is good. It had like different confetti flavors, like not like, but you know what I mean? Like there was like blue tasted like blue. I don't know what that means, but there was that, and then the chocolate chip. Yeah, yeah, it was good. Wags, I'll give you a shout out. Go on. The classic vanilla also really good.

Vanilla is very solid. I, I, you know, I'm a big vanilla advocate. Vanilla is a flavor. It's not plain, um, but I also really like birthday flavor, and that's what confetti is trying to deliver. And I think that confetti, I think that confetti was my favorite overall. Another one I'll shout out is the snickerdoodle. I just let, I thought like the, the snickerdoodle was good. I liked how cinnamon-y it was. And, um, and I also, I was expecting to like the strawberries and cream because I do like strawberries a lot. Me too. That was maybe the dud of the bunch, honestly. That was probably my least favorite. Uh, I thought the key lime was very solid, but I think I'd probably say the, the white chocolate raspberry also finishes in the metals. I just thought that

was like a much better execution of the, of the berry flavor. And maybe it was just a little bit of white chocolate that had, that plusced it up. You know, you know what I think? I think that strawberries and cream, I think that, that, I think that the, the fucking strong cream cheese frosting really overtook it. I think it was like. Oh, that's a good point. I think that was a part of it. I mean, I also don't think it was as strong as some of the, of the other cakes. The carrot was fine. Like in the lemon, like the carrot and lemon were kind of like towards my bottom. But the, the, the, the, the, the chocolate, chocolate chip, I liked a lot. And then the chocolate chip cookie gluten-free also really good. Uh, white chocolate, raspberry, great.

Red velvet, Becky, I was like so like ready to write off the red velvet because I was just like the people want, we went too crazy with red velvet. We went, we went red velvet nuts. And so I'm just like, I don't give a shit about red velvet. I've, and then I tasted it and I was like, this is fucking fantastic. And there's good execution of, of chocolate chips in there. I was having a blast. I liked it quite a bit. But yeah, that's that kind of, that, that, that runs out my faves. And I liked the confetti too. I'm with you guys. Key lime, good for, good for a featured flavor. I thought that was of the fruit, of the fruit cakes. I thought the key lime was one of the more successful ones up there. Like the raspberry being the most successful, but

not none that were like, if you gave me any of these and I didn't know that there were other flavors, like, you know, like lemon, I'm not a huge lemon cake guy anyways, but if you gave me the lemon one and we're like, here's like a lemon bun cake, I'm like, this is pretty tasty. I don't think that like even like my least favorite one, I would be that critical of if you gave me a slice of it. I would think it's pretty moist and pretty good. So none are bad, right? Like none were really bad. None are bad. No, I agree. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They all hit the, the thing I will say for anyone ordering these, a bundtlet is too much for one person. Like it looks like the size of a donut, but because it is so dense and has so much frosting,

it's like, that's like, you got it, you got to cut that and cleave that in two at minimum. It honestly might be one you split four ways. They're, they look small, but they're so, so, so sweet that I just don't think you could, you could take one of these to the dome unless you were just starving or had a mad sweet tooth. The buntinis which, the buntinis which we didn't get might be, you know, those are a little bit smaller. Two floors yesterday. Well, I mean, if you're not doing a pod, if you're not making this for, doing this for content, because yeah, I ate too much of these, but this was, this was like, in my mind, I was like, when we were doing this, I was like, Becky, Becky rules, funny guests, going to be a good show. This is great. Haven't seen you

in a while, Becky. Excited to do it. Bunt cakes, easy. This is going to be, this is going to be, this is easy. And then it fucking sucked too much. It was just too much to eat. It was just to try all these flavors. It was just, it was, it was, it was, it's like one of the, it's one of these episodes where you're like, the show should end. This is too much. There's too much stuff. For sure. Yeah. I was like, I, I, there was a, because of that, I felt like a little, like, I was very excited. I love cake. Listen, I just, um, got through COVID. This is my first cake since having COVID. So I was. Wow. Yeah. And, um, so, but yeah, I think the same thing. They were so sweet that I was like, maybe I, I could have over-hyped it and like, that's very much a possibility,

but I'm with you on that. I love cake, but I, I haven't had any cake since I've moved to California. I just watched cake videos, uh, people. Just watch cake farts. I watch cake fart videos. What was, what was a cake fart? Was that, what was that? It was women farting on cakes. I guess it was a very specific set. Really? Yeah. Wait, I, isn't there sitting on cakes or is that a separate? Yeah. They're sitting on cakes and then sometimes farting on them. Yeah. There's, there's cake sits and cake farts. Yeah. Of course. Wiger's fucking telling us is like, he's a fucking Wikipedia page. He knows all this shit. This, this is, this is another one I'm thinking back on, on my funny or die days,

but a very, very talented man who worked there, Brad Schultz. So it was a director and editor for many years. Um, but he had, he, he showed me this, this, this, Brad's, Brad's great. He showed me this fetish that exists that I didn't know about called car stuck girls. You ever heard of car stuck girls? So what it is, is it's women who have, who are by themselves and their car is stuck in the mud and they're panicking. So it's just like, it's just like, I can't get my car out. Oh, someone help me. Why, I'm all alone. Help me. My car is stuck in the mud. It's just like stuff like that. It's just like porno level acting of, of various women in like, you know, tight dresses. And the thing is it doesn't escalate. It's not like, like it goes there and then,

and then there's a classic porno setup of the tow truck driver shows up and, and like, fucking rails her. It's just, it's just the woman being scared and in danger. I love this idea of you and Brad watching these weird fetish videos as the stock is fucking going down at Funny or Die. Sorry, we should have been working on branded content for Raytheon or wherever the fuck that company was doing. It's like, I wish that we're like a more popular fetish because I would make so much money. Just like me and my car broke down and it was like me crying, just like, just having a full on panic attack. Like I would find my, like that would be my niche. And the fact that I don't see enough casting for it. I might, I might upload one later

today, honestly. Find my tightest t-shirt. I got a flat tire. I don't know what to do. Car stuck girls. Car stuck girls. Yeah. I don't know if it's still around. Cake farts. I thought cake farts were like putting like a flower in your butt and farting. I've never heard of that. I think it's just like a funny thing where like the, the flower shoots out and people laugh. I didn't, I didn't, I didn't know that it was like, I didn't know that it was like actually woman farting on cakes. It's actually, yeah, it's, it's that on the nose. It's exactly what it sounds like. Dude, Wiger, tell me right now, these burnt cakes aren't fart cakes, are they? I'll fucking flip out. I mean, that's how I ate

them. I farted on all of them. That's how I eat cake. That's how I eat cake. I'm going to flip out. I'm going to be so horny if I hear that the woman farted on my cakes. She was going to fart on them, Mitch, but then she couldn't start her car. Oh shit. I can't get to work. Could you imagine like, hey, I'll take three, like, you know, three bun cakes. Like, do you want it as a gift package? And it's like, sure. And then they're like, do you want me to fart on this too? No added charge. Yeah, why not? Fuck it. I mean, that is like another, you can get packages of like, you can get these little bundtlet towers. Yes. You can get a singular one, you can get two, you can get three, and then you

can get this box of fucking 12 or whatever it is. It's 12, right? 12 total. It's 12. And so here's the thing. I didn't know how big these, these bundtlets were. I actually thought they were smaller than they, than, you know, I thought it was going to be picking up like a box of donuts, but I got to pick up this box from Manhattan Beach, from the Manhattan Beach, nothing bundt cakes. I felt like it was a pallbearer for a child's coffin. It's so much bundt cake. It's so huge. Jesus Christ. It's like three feet by four feet. It's a fucking gigantic palette of cake to your Lord. Yeah. Did you bury it? Put up a gravestone? When you picked it up, were they like, is this a gift for someone? Because they asked me that,

and like as if like anyone who shops there, like no one's just getting like, oh, this is a bundt for myself. Like they're like, who's this for? And I freaked out because, and I was like a friend, and they're like, birthday? And I don't know why they're asking this. And I was just like, I was like, I'm just like giving it to a friend because she's like, you know, cool. And they're like, oh, so thank you. And I was like, yep, that's the one. And like, do people go just to get like buns for themselves? I don't know. I was not interrogated. I think they saw me and were like, okay, we know what you're going to do with these. Okay, all right. This guy's going to push the filling out of 12 months.

We should get to our final thoughts on nothing bundt cakes. So Becky, here's how the podcast works in this segment. We're each going to go around, give our closing argument, if you will, any final thoughts on this on this chain, anything we haven't mentioned that you want to cover, and then end it by giving it a score from zero to five forks. You are our guest. We'll begin with you. Okay. So first, I want to acknowledge that the store itself, when you walk for the one in Glendale, very, very, very cute things. You can also buy like aprons that say TGIF. This grandma is fabulous. Or like a dish towel that says like, if I stop counting years, can I stop counting calories? Didn't, didn't do that right. But like, you know, there's a lot of cute, like,

kitschy things. So obviously I will give, like that gets a lot of points in my, in my opinion. I honestly feel like- It's at seven forks right now. I'm an easy grader, guys. But I will say, I do, I feel like I need to remove a fork because of the frosting issue. And so for me, I'm giving it a four out of five. Four out of five, still a very good score. Still a good score. Yeah. Very good score. It is, it is a good score. I, hmm, this is, this is tricky to me because I'm also like, Wags is right that it is like a child's coffin. You think you're going to open the box and see fucking Macaulay Culkin for my girl in there. I'll stung up.

It's, it's, it's, it's huge. So that, that was like my thought where I was like, when my dad died, you know, one of the plus sides, you know, one of the only plus sides of your father dying, is that free food Wags. Everyone knows that once, once, once pop is gone, you get the, the free food comes, uh, people, people, uh, toss a bunch of food at you, a bunch of, uh, edible arrangements, all of that stuff. Um, you know, so you're like, hmm, this isn't so bad after all, you know, and then, uh... Some of the best fish I ever had was at Fingrell's, so I hear you. Look, you get a ton of food like that. And, and, and obviously I'm, I'm kidding. It wasn't, of course. It's not worth my father's life for an edible arrangement. Come on. Uh, it was pretty

good, but come on. But if they're dipped in chocolate, maybe all. I mean, chocolate covered, chocolate, chocolate covered pineapple. Yeah, it's close, but come on. Um, Mitch, do you ever get your mom in at a pole arrangement? Oh my God. Jesus Christ. I guess that's kind of your living situation. You know, I get it. Everyone got it. I don't have an Oedipus complex. Um, so I was thinking like, if this, if I got these when my dad had passed away, this, I know that this, but I'm just trying to think of like how you would get these. I know this is a bad way to think of how I would get it. It's thinking of when my father passed away, if I got these delivered to me. And I'm like, when would these be good? Like, like, why is, I think you're right that, like,

they're just too big and there's too many of like, even just when you get the 12, when you get the 12 pack and look, you can get the small towers and those are nice. And so I guess like, maybe if you're sending a friend or someone who's like been through a hard time to send them two of them, or, you know, a couple, you can like, you know, if there's a, you know, a, you know, a couple of friends that are living together or, you know, whatever, you can send them three and they can split them up or whatever. Like that's fine. The 12 pack to me as I'm like, if you send that to my family, it would be like too much and too heavy. Like just eating them all, like, like you would, you would just want to eat like one of these and then I would be done. I feel like for like a week,

I don't want to eat, I don't want to eat these again. And I did put a couple of my, a fridge because I got the chocolate chocolate chip. I got two of those and I did love the chocolate chocolate chip. And I'm like, now there's one of my fridge. I'm like, I don't want to fucking eat another one of these. I don't want to. Yeah. I mean, of course I took bites from eight of them today before we recorded. So that could be a part of it. That being said, like they do taste good. They don't taste bad. And I do really wonder what the full bunk cakes are like. And if you brought that to a party, maybe they'd be worth it. And maybe if you went to like a Super Bowl party where there was 30 people, these things would be good. And you can, you could slice them up

into fours, Y's like you said. Right. But Becky's right on the frosting. The frosting is just, it's just, it's too much. And I wish that you could change it up and you can't change it up yet. But I think that the quality of the product is decent. And I think that what they're trying to go for is, it kind of works. But I can't give it four forks. I think I get a, I go, I'm going to go 3.75 forks. Like, I just don't three times. It's like, it's like, it's, it just feels to me like this is like kind of like the new sprinkles. But, but then the crazy fact that it's from 1997, which just is kind of mind boggling. Yeah. Maybe eight sprinkles. I would, I would rather, I would rather get these, I guess, than, than a pack of sprinkles.

Hmm. Interesting. Three forks, three times from the spoon. But is that, now, now I'm like, is that true? Because on that, I'm also just like, sprinkles at least is like a lot different. Like, I'm a big cake person though. And like, the cake is actually good. The cake is good. It's moist. The cake is good. It's very moist. And, and Becky talked about how the, the in-store, you know, it's, it's like it, it's, it's, it's very on theme. It's super tidy in there. It's actually suit, it actually feel, it kind of has a feel of like you're at like some sort of event when you're inside there. It feels like kind of like a, like a bridal shower or something. It's

like well decorated and very inviting, very cozy. A lot of hot grandmas going in there too, apparently. A lot of hot grandmas. And there's also a, I think it's a well packaged like presentation. Like, you know, it's a lot, but it's just like the way they come in their little individual containers, you know, they'll stay upright. You don't have to worry about them being jostled as much frosting as there is. Like you could, you don't, you don't have to worry about all that scraping off or anything when you're transferring it to, to whatever you're going to plate it on. If I was going to go back to this place, I would get a full size bunt. I get the eight inch or the 10 inch. And I'd, I just sort of like the 10 inch, the John Ham

bunt cake and get one of those. Jesus. And I, I'd like, I could, because I think, Ham could fucking fill the whole bunt cake up. Ham could, Ham could basically wear the bunt cake. That's insane. I think, I think the, I don't think the bundlets are the right size for these. I just think, I think they were the right thing, right move for us to make for evaluating this pot, but it's weird sounding. It's weird sounding. Buntlet sounds weird. Buntini also sounds weird, but I can, I can get on board with it more, but I would just get a standard bunt cake and then slice it up. Cause I think that's going to present better. I think

the ratio of frosting is going to be better. And, you know, if the cake is good, the cake is moist, I imagine it's moist when it scales up. So, you know, I do that as well. Like, like, I think, I think it'll work there as well. So yeah, I would probably take one of my favorite flavors here and just get a full size bunt and bring that to an event. And I think that would be a crowd please. I think people would like it. Yeah, you're right. From, from the, from the standpoint of this podcast, you know, is this place doing what it accomplished, what it's attempting to accomplish? Nothing bunt cakes. It's not flying under any false flags. That's what they do. They do bunt cakes. And they've got to do bunt cakes pretty well. Too much icing, but I still think

this place kind of belongs on the fringes of the Golden Plate Club. So I'm personally going to say four forks. So there you go. Mitch, you don't have to amend your score. I ruined it. You didn't ruin it. We're ballpark buds. It's, it's, it maybe it'll get there on a, on a future, on a future episode if we go, if we revisit, but right now I think the idea of revisiting it is fucking horrifying. All right. We won't revisit it. I mean, a year from now though, like you would need to, you would need like a good sandwich for, is that the, I don't know, but like a good time span in between to like get back to your bun. Yeah. I hear you. Yeah. 100%. Palak lens with fucking Burger King and other bullshit for full year. Although when you were talking, I'm like, maybe I'll go back

today and get a full size bun. You think I might. You see John Hammond there? I get residuals. Looks like you're fabulous too. Well, we'll take a break. We'll be back with more Doe Boys. Mitch, when someone is just exceptionally good at what they do, it could be a waiter, a chef, a doctor, a podcaster. A podcaster. You know you're in good hands.

We are their guest, Becky Feldman. This week's chain, Nothing Bunt Cakes, has been evaluated, which means it's time for a segment. It's a new segment, Eatin' 9 to 5. Oh boy. Eatin' 9 to 5. What a way to make a segment. Barely even tried. It's all lazy and no effort. Amelia used her mind, and we never give her credit. It's enough to make you on some if you let it. All right, great. This is Eatin' 9 to 5. So here's how this will work. Wigers are genius. What did Amelia do? Did Amelia pitch that?

Amelia pitched this. Mitch and Becky are office managers tasked with stocking up their office kitchens. This is a role play scenario. Oh, shit, this is good. They're given a list of snacks and beverages within budget from the boss and must choose their items, draft style. At the end, Nick chooses which office he'd rather work at based on the snacks alone, determining the winner. So it falls to me. I don't know if I can be the neutral arbiter, because I think that people will think I have a natural anti-mitch pro-Becky bias, and who can blame me. So I'm going to defer to Emma. I'll moderate, but Emma, I want you to be the one who chooses which office you'd rather work at. All right. So I'll read you the items. And here's what I'm going to say. I think Mitch,

the way to do this, is that we get there there's snacks, and then there's soda or there's beverages rather. I think let me know if you think this works. I think you get three snacks and two beverages. Does that work for you? That feels good. Two beverages. All right. We can do three beverages. Only three snacks. Okay. All right. Okay. I mean, we can do four snacks. I think three and three. I think three and three. We'll do three and three. We'll do three and three. I'll maintain what you're drafting here. Okay. Becky, who do you want to be? I kind of want to call that I am Dolly Parton right off the bat, but I guess... I'll be a Lily. I'll be a Lily Tomlin. I like... Lily Tomlin. Good choice. Yeah. I like her outfits and that. Sorry, Jane Fonda. Can't lose there. She was too busy

helping the Fiat Kong traitor to our country. She's going to end up with Nixon in the wild, Mr. Toad's wild ride. Hell. Okay. So here, I'll read all the items. I'll read the snacks first. We'll draft snacks first, and then we'll draft sodas. So six snacks, or I'm sorry, three snacks, three sodas, a roster of six apiece. Becky, you're the guest. You'll get the first pick. Here are your options. These are determined by Amelia. Sun chips, the garden salsa varietal, cool ranch Doritos, goldfish crackers, Oreo mini packs, red vines, skinny pop, planters mixed nuts, Snyder's pretzels, apples, and Chobani strawberry yogurt. I'm also going to put these in the chat so you guys can visualize them. Mitch, what do you think here?

We also have the beverages. Should we include beverages? And you can choose whether you're going to draft a beverage or a snack in terms of how you want to pair it. That's pretty good. That's probably a better way to do it. I think that's pretty fun. Okay. So here are the beverages. Diet Coke, seven up, Pamplemousse LaCroix, Lemon LaCroix, A&W Root Beer, and Cold Brew Coffee. I'm going to put these in the chat here. All right, Becky, you have the first pick. What do you want to go with? You want to go with a snack? You want to go with a drink? Let us know what you fancy here. I think I'm going to go with a snack first. Okay. And so I need my employees to like like me.

Like this is like, I am choosing for the employees. Okay, got it. Yeah. Because it's going to be okay. I am going to say goldfish crackers. Good pick. That's a great choice. It's a really, really good choice. All right, Mitch. All right. So I'm going to go with a drink. And I think that this is the most important drink you can have in an office. Diet Coke. Wow. Diet Coke. A lot of people will demand it. Some people will drink like six a day. It's a popular beverage, so that's a good choice. All right, Mitch takes Diet Coke. All right, Becky, back to you. Okay. Sun chips, cool ranch Doritos, Oreo mini packs, red vine, skinny pop, planters,

Bix nuts, Sniders pretzels, apples, Chobani, strawberry yogurt, and the other beverage is still on the board. Seven Up, Pebble Boost, LaCroix, Lemon LaCroix, and W. Root Beer and Cold Brew coffee. Okay. I'm going to go with a drink this time. I am going to say the Cold Brew coffee. I think that's a thing. Yeah, great call. A lot of people love their Cold Brew. All right. Becky has Goldfish crackers and Cold Brew. Mitch, you just got Diet Coke. What are you adding to your roster? I got to add a crunch. I mean, I don't think Becky's going to take a crunch, so maybe I shouldn't wait on the crunch. You know what? I'm Dolly right now. I'm Dolly. I'm feeling good. So in my mind, if I'm visualizing myself as Dolly,

so my boobs are slightly less big than they are now. Showing them off a little less than I am now. I'm going to go with Chobani Strawberry Yogurt. That's a really smart pick. I think that's really savvy. Sorry, Becky. Sorry, Lily. No, it's healthy and you get some protein. That's the other thing. The pre-flavored yogurt sometimes have too much sugar for me, but if that was in the fridge, I'd get the Chobani yogurt. Why not? It's a good choice. By the way, when kids these days hear Dolly, they're imagining the app. Yeah, or the first sheep that was cloned. That's what they're thinking of.

Mm-hmm. Becky, you have Goldfish Crackers. It's a 20-year-old story. And Cold Brew Coffee. What do you want to add to your roster? Okay, I think I'm going to add apples. Smart. Boc. Apples are big. Yeah. It's also your one fruit option here. Yeah, yeah.

That's huge. Apples are huge. I should have maybe gone that over yogurt, but I felt like yogurt's such a breakfast like that's just a big breakfast thing. I don't know. Well, you got to have one, I feel like, one or the other. And you both nabbed one. So, all right, Mitch, how about yourself? I got to go snack. I still don't think that she's going to take this away from me, but I'm going to go with Cool Ranch Doritos. Wow.

Get some Doritos in there. One of your personal favorites. One of my personal favorites, but you know, for the office, if I'm Dolly Parton, I should take sun chips because that's probably what she would take, but people love Doritos, right? People like a Dorito. Come on. People like Doritos. Yeah, people like a Doritos chip. All right, you've got Cool Ranch Doritos, Chobani Strawberry Yogurt, and Diet Coke. Becky, you've got Cold Fish Crackers, Apples, Cold Brew Coffee, and...

Okay, I'm going to go back to drink. I'm going to do a Lemon Lacroix. That's pretty good. Yeah. That's pretty good. I think it's a take your pick here. You know, this is a pick them. I would probably personally opt for Pamplemousse, but I think Lemon is probably more popular in an office standpoint. I think that's a little bit more of a crowd pleaser. All right, Mitch. Cool Ranch Doritos, Strawberry Yogurt, Diet Coke, and one more item. Oh, wait, so this is... No, I'm sorry. And an additional item. You have three more

slots, but you have two snacks, one drink right now. I'm going to go with a dessert here, Wags, and I see there's only one dessert I see here. It's the Oreo Mini Packs. I mean, there's another just sugar thing, but Oreo Mini Packs. I got to go Oreo Mini Packs. Oreo Mini Packs. People like Oreos. People love Oreos. Oreos are great, and they're vegan. That's huge. But Mitch, you've hit your snack ceiling. Oh, shit. Cool Ranch Doritos, Oreo Mini Packs, and Chobani Strawberry Yogurt.

Those are your three snacks, so you're going all drinks from here on out. All right, Becky, you have two drinks, two snacks. Take your pick. Okay. I'm going to do snack. Listen, mad about those Oreos. I'll be okay. I'll be okay. I am going to do sun chips. I'm going to do the sun chips. That's good. Wow. Little crunch. You're maybe missing a sweet treat is the thing. That's the thing, but do apples count? Do apples count or am I like?

They would for me. I feel like that, but some people may want something a little bit closer to an Oreo or a red vine, but I think the sun chips are a good pick. All right, so you get sun chips, goldfish, crackers, apples. I can't believe the Skinny Pop planters, nuts, or sliders. It's all three of those just didn't get picked, which is wild. Red vines, like the idea of a red vine is better than actually having them, I feel like. I agree. I like them. I like that they're there. Not going to eat them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

All right, Mitch, your drink choice. You have 7up, Pebble Moose LaCroix, and A&W Root Beer. So I have Diet Coke right now. Yeah. Diet Coke is the only one you have. The ones that are still on the board, 7up, Pebble Moose LaCroix, and A&W. I got to take a LaCroix because I need to have a non-calorie drink, so I'm going Pebble Moose LaCroix. I think that's a right. I think that's a savvy move. I got to have one that's not, that's not, no calories, zero Cal. I feel like.

I guess Diet Coke is, but it's a soda. It's a soda, yeah. And some people just don't like the aspartames or the artificial sugars. If I am having one of those, I'll opt for a Coke Zero over a Diet Coke. I just like the Coke Zero flavor more, but I generally would rather have just like a sparkling water or something or like a LaCroix. I'm going to say this is a thing that maybe is biased by us being a big city, West Coast elites, but I feel like in offices I've worked in in recent years, certainly different when I worked in the video game industry, though I imagine even that's changed, the full sugar beverage has kind of fallen off. I feel like people these days want something

that's like a little bit less of a calorie bomb in liquid form. But that's what's on the board, Becky. You got yourself a 7up A&W root beer for your final pick to finish out your roster. If Dolly's serving you this, how are you going to resist? I mean, I think I need to pick something for myself in this instance. And I'm going to do the root beer. I think I might. That's great. Yeah. That's what I wanted.

Root beer is a lot of fun. We have a lot of fun. Yeah, yeah. I know. Taking the Oreos was big for me. Mitch, that means you get 7up. So here's how the rosters are split up. Becky gets sun chips, garden salsa varietal, goldfish crackers, and apples. Sun chips, goldfish, and apples for snacks, and for drinks, lemon lacroix, A&W root beer, and cold brew coffee.

Mitch, your roster. Snacks, Cool Ranch Doritos, Oreo Mini Packs, and Chobani Strawberry Yogurt. Oh, yours is so much better. And for your bevs. Well, hold on, Becky. I'm going to tell you something in a second. 7up and Pamela Moose Lacroix. Here's my thought, Becky. Look, I am also Dolly, so that is helpful for me.

I am Dolly Parton. Everybody loves Dolly. But the other thing is, is that we're in an office space and I don't have coffee. You're the one who's got the fucking cold brew. Great point. True, true. But I'm assuming that there is hot coffee in the morning in this office, right? I don't know. I mean, it's not within the parameters of the game.

It doesn't say that coffee or water are included. So this is a hell of a scenario where only our snacks are available. That sounds awful. Oh, shh, okay. And they can't leave for lunch. Hang on a second. That's a lot like Funny or Die Again. I think cold brew is huge.

Cold brew is big. Emma, I'll give the rosters one more time and then let me know what you're thinking. Becky has sun chips, cold fish crackers, apples, lemon lacroix, NW root beer, and cold brew coffee. Mitch has cool ranch Doritos, Oreo mini packs, Chobani strawberry yogurt, Diet Coke, 7up, Pamela Moose Lacroix. Put out of your mind that, you know, don't think of it as I'm working for Mitch or I'm working for Becky.

Think of it as I'm working in this office. Which snacks would you prefer, Matt? You're working for Dolly or Lily. Also, Lily, Lily's fun. Lily's a lot of fun. Lily's a blast. She does poise. Lily's funnier than Dolly.

She poisons, yeah. Yeah, sure, she poisons. She poisons. Gotta keep that in mind. She's a little poison, yeah. But it looked good. The coffee looked good, yeah. All right, so while you guys were going through the list,

I made my ideal office list. Wow. Oh, smart. This list. And I was going to see where we had to overlap. And Becky and I had five out of the six. Wow. Wow.

That's nuts. What was your list? Let's hear it. I think I got to work in Becky's office. Okay. I thought I messed up with the sun chips and the goldfish crackers. Because they're kind of- It's funny because the sun chips were the one that I didn't,

we didn't have the same, but I love goldfish. So. Me too, yeah. What was your second one? You had, Emma. Yeah, what was the difference? All right, so my list was goldfish, apples, and Oreos. Mitch, you had the Oreos.

And then I had root beer, cold brew, and lemon lacroix. I'm not a huge cold brew person, but I cannot function without my coffee. So if that's all I got, I will make cold brew work. I'll just do it a little more. I just want to say if the Oreos were available for me, if I was smart and got those Oreos, that I would have had them.

So I just want to say you and me, Emma, we're the same person. We work together. Okay, cool. We work together. Yeah. We can work while in the office together. Yeah, these food guys.

So you would have replaced what with the sun chips with the Oreos. Yeah, I would have done that. Although I did like the Chobani strut. That feels like I can eat this kind of for lunch or for breakfast. It feels a little bit closer to a meal, you know? Yeah. Why, Sue, which office would you rather work in? It's, this is tricky.

But I think honestly, looking at this whole list, everything, there's good stuff all around. Apples goes a long way for me. Jesus. Like just like having a piece of fruit. That goes a long way. It's taking it to the bathroom. Okay.

I already suggested I was going to fuck a bundt cake. It's a great way to kill an hour of your work day. An hour. Holy shit. I don't know. Yeah. The, that said, I think the apples are huge, but that said, I think I got to go with my man, Mitch.

I cool ranch Doritos are so good that yogurt's huge. And honestly, of the beverages available, Pamplemousse Lacroix and Diet Coke, maybe you only want two. I'm not really a cold brew guy. So, yeah, I think I go with the Spoonman. The sights ain't bad in my office either. Tee hee. I'm going to take this apple into the break room for a minute.

Hey, that was, uh, that was eaten nine to five. Just like a restaurant via your feedback. Let's open the feedback. Today we have an email from Gavin from Pennsylvania. Gavin writes, What's up, dough boys? I have come to realize that I enjoy licking Dijon mustard off a spoon when I make sandwiches and salad dressings. But some ingredients, even though I like them,

do not sound appetizing to lick off a spoon. For example, mayonnaise. So my question for you is, what's the weirdest thing you like to lick off a spoon while cooking? That's good. This is from Gavin Newsom. Yeah, this is Gavin Newsom. He's in Pennsylvania, which I don't understand.

Should be in California. Some fancy restaurant that's shut down for COVID. A nice Pennsylvania vineyard shore, yeah. It's a swing state. He's campaigning. This is, this is what I'll say. I've talked about eating mayonnaise off the spoon, but that was like as a kid.

I don't really do that as much anymore. If I'm making like a tuna salad or anything, I'll usually just reincorporate that into whatever I'm making with the mayo. But I will have, hey, I got some extra butter. I'll eat that butter. Why not? I'll just, I'll just have that butter off the knife. I always make, when we, when we got to chanked it in my Quincy friend,

anytime we're at a wedding, I'll just have him eat. Like a, like we make a joke that there's an appetizer plate with butters and we'll have Jankton eat a butter. He like happily will eat the butter. It's good. Just like, we'll take a piece of butter and eat it. I'm with Jankton. These, these questions are always tough for me because I don't,

I'm not that weird in this. I'm weird in many other ways, but I'm not weird in, in, in this way as much. I like dressing. So like when I'm done, I will like use my finger to like get the rest of the dressing out. In fact, I had a Chipotle bowl last night and there was like, kind of like a sour cream slash salsa left.

And I was like licking up the sour cream basically with my finger. So that's, so I guess that is, that's probably as weird as I get. Salad dressing, pickle juice. I mean, people take shots of pickle juice. So it's not even weird. Mustard, maybe a close to the weird one, but mostly salad dressings. I'm like cream cheese. Why not?

I mean, cream cheese a little bit, but cream cheese is almost a little too like just eating it on its own is almost too, I needed like a bagel, but like, if I get it on my fingers, you know what I mean? Like, sure, I'll lick it up, but, but I like where your head's at Emma. I just, I'm not that with this stuff. I'm not that, I'm not that weird with this stuff. I, I, I, you know, I, I'll lick up, I'll lick up some stuff.

You know what I'll do? You know what I like that's, I guess it's like, kind of gross as like like burnt cheese or like dry, you don't want to get like dominoes, like the stuffed cheesy bread. And they'll be like burnt crisps of cheese. I like that. I don't even know if that's that weird, but it's, it's not that weird. But like, if I'm, if I'm like, you know, if I'm like grilling up like a,

you know, a burger or something like that, and I got some cheese on it, and some of that cheese, you know, goes, I'm saying grilling, but we don't have an outdoor grill. So I'm like making like a cast iron. And some of that, you know, cheese will go on the cast iron and crisp up. Yeah, I'll eat that. It's fucking great. Do you like the crispy edges of a lasagna?

As opposed to the middle pieces. Oh fuck yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, you got it. Becky, anything you, yeah, any, any food stuffs you, you snack on while you're eating? Oh yeah, I mean. Or while you're cooking rather.

While I'm cooking, yeah. I mean, I don't like wasting food. So I have been agreeing with all of you in terms of like eating the cheese and getting the rest of the salad dressing. And I was going to say butter too. Butter, I will, butter and cream cheese. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's good stuff.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. I'm trying to think of stuff that's more like, that will like, because, because I think what Gavin's looking for here, because he's a sick fuck. He's like, he's like gross us out, right? It's kind of a gross out sort of question. Like what's something gross that you eat? He wants us to like drink olive oil or some shit.

Yes, yeah. And hey, I like olive oil. If I, if I got some bread, I'll always, I'll try to take down all the olive oil I can, but not, not on its own. I think, I think just like sipping, taking little sips of dressing. I think that that's a big thing for me is the little sips of leftover dressing. Yeah. That's it.

That's pretty, yeah. Especially when you say sipping. Like that sounds a little bit like, yeah. Yeah, it's a little gross. I mean, yeah. That's a ranch. Like sometimes, like Gavin, I hope this is gross enough for you, but it's probably not.

But like sometimes all, this is, this is sad though, it's sad. Like if I'm too lazy to make a salad, I'll just like pour salad dressing, like on a plate and then just take handfuls of lettuce and then dip it and then just shove it in my mouth. Like I know that's not gross, but it's sad. So there's that. There's that Gavin. Yeah.

Gavin, Gavin's nodding right now. All right. Good enough. Vinegar. I guess vinegar is like the other thing that I kind of, I love vinegar. I'm a big fan of it. I do this a lot when baking, because like everything you have when you're baking, like raw batter and stuff, it's awful for you, but it's delicious.

Love all that stuff. I'm trying to think of one that would even be weird. Like mayo, I guess is the weirdest to me, but I'm like, it's an aioli. Like if, I guess if it's just straight mayo, I guess it's a little weird why it's what you're used to do. But I'm like, nothing is really that weird to me that I can think of. You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean, that's like so much of it.

Oh, I guess I just thought of sour cream and I'm just like, that's still kind of adjacent to like butter and cream cheese. I told you that's what I was looking up the other night last night. I mean, sour cream is less weird to me than mayo or cream cheese, honestly. Yeah. I mean, am I crazy in thinking, I don't think any of this is weird? Like Gavin, I don't even think you, like I don't think that's weird. Like am I, like it's lick it off.

Oh, I think it's fine. Yeah. That's not weird. I agree. Gavin, you're not that weird, Gavin. You're not that weird. Yeah, you're not that weird. You're fucking crazy.

Oh boys, I'm kind of crazy. Sometimes I'm making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and then if there's leftover peanut butter on the knife, I'll kind of eat some of it. Am I weird? This guy like, he goes around all his friends and he's like, I'm fucking twisted. People are like, whoa, what's Gavin's deal?

Gavin's, Gavin thinks he's a fucking psycho. I can't invite anyone over so people don't see that I like mustard off a knife. Gavin, you fucking normie, fucking normie ass. He's like, yeah, I guess I'm normal. Zips up the lips of his mask. Gets vinegar poured in his ass. Yeah.

Yeah, I have a podcast that's called Two Stupid to Live where I review romance novels, $5 and under. I guess it on Two Stupid to Live back in the pre-COVID days. I'd love to come back, but the book we talked about, which I actually, I'm looking up the name of it right now because I got it on COVID. I got it on COVID. I got it on Kindle.

Then COVID came. Then I got COVID. It was called Slam Dunked by Love. And it was like a romance novel about a woman, the coach's daughter, falling in love with a player on the team in the NBA. And I was like, this is good. That was one of my favorite books.

Every book is good. I don't not like anything that we read. Mitch, you're always welcome, Emma. You're always welcome to come back. Nick, always welcome to come back. I'd love to. I would love to hear you guys. Talk about a romance novel.
