Hey buddy, it's Wigur, the WGA Strike, and the SAG After Strikes. Continue. I'm here too. Mitch is also here. I'm here with you. I didn't know you're going to talk. The strike continues on. The strike continues on. We are cresting the century mark as of this episode's release 100 plus days on the picket line for the writers over a month on the picket line for the actors because the AMPTP the studios will not give us a fair deal that they can easily afford. So as such,

us a fair deal that they can easily afford. So, as such, no scripted intros, I know people who listen to the podcast, they're a favorite part, right? My scripted intro, I give the top of the show. Sure, sure, sure. Yeah, people love great things. It's great when you give yourself that work to do online movies, it says,

Howdy-ho! That's all you gotta do, baby. Yeah, well, look, I caught myself in this trap, but I'm not doing it for now. They like the intros so let me tell you, when we get back off the strike, he's gonna write the fattest intro you've ever seen. He's gonna write the fattest intro you've ever seen.

He's gonna write the fattest intro you've ever seen. He's gonna write the fattest intro you've ever seen. He's gonna write the fattest intro you've ever seen. We like to Tolstoy write this intro? No, it was me, why? I had a bunch of fucking intros built up in my brain. I'm waiting to get out there on the keyboard. That's what we're saying, but if the AMPTP keeps acting like assholes, it might be a while.

It might be a little bit. Anyway, that's the preamble for this week. You can know where to find info on the strikes. Check out the sag after strike.org WGA strike 2023.org. That's the issue. That's right. I should know these URLs. That's all right.

Mitch, that's a labor roast courtesy of, the version just signed this and ununionized Amazon delivery driver. Wow. Thank you for your service.

You're a labor service. Yeah. I hope you all can organize someday. And I'll put this in Jimmy John's Huffa. An un-y-un user, what was it? An un-union. An un-unionized Amazon delivery driver. That's our turn to that, yeah.

Like an un-y- onion ring sort of thing and and Onion an onionized Amazon. Yeah, but that also I always say he's onion. That's not fun. People don't know what it's a pun off of his a thing If you say onion eyes are like what on what on? On unionized look that sucks the world is bad I should not try to make an onion pun on ununionized yes, Unionized I don't know it's fine. It look I shouldn't still be trying to make it ununionized

Roastboomanage email dot com maybe you can crack it send in your onionized pun if there's a good one We'll use it on a future episode or use in strike puns, eh? Well, I mean this was a strike roast that was submitted special, but it's not necessarily with a starchy mickey. Starchy mickey. Oh, we're not. The spoon man is out. Starchy mickey is in. During the strike. I'm Starchy mickey. Wow. Starchy mickey. I feel like I should have a strike name. Maybe I'm Stinky Wiggy That's bullshit. It's mine. Mickey and Stinky Wiggy the dynamic duo You stole mine. I'm stuck you like we have the same one cuz we're friends. Oh, Jesus. We're a duo We're a pair

Well, I guess we are during all of this During all of this very all of this turmoil just, which will last for months. Yeah. We'll see where we are. As of this record, we're in, I think we're, we might be scabbin. I think it was this recording this, I think on day 84 of the WGA strike. And by the time this releases, we should be if the strike is still going. I mean, who knows, but if the strike is still going, we'll be past the century mark in the WJ side, past the 30 to 40 day mark in the SAG after a

strike site. What if I get offered there will be blood two tomorrow or something? Might have a scab. Yeah. Get a waiver. Get a waiver. Get a waiver. Get a waiver.

Get a waiver. Get a waiver. It's cool when millionaire actors are getting waivers and I can't talk about a show that I'm in. That's always very cool. Oh, what? You don't want me to say it? We don't need to get into it. Oh, what?

Oh, what? Well, it's frustrating. I get it. I understand your particular situation. Yeah, maybe I will get a waiver. I drink your milkshake, I just am drinking milkshakes. That's how you would. That's how you would. Yeah, just drinks real milkshake. Just drinking real milkshakes. That's a great sequel. I would watch this. And it's

Mitch. Mitch is the guy. I guess I know a few people would maybe consider a step down to go for what many consider the best actor in the world to me. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't think it's that big of a step. No, no. It works with a vision. Yes.

There will be blood, too. How big of a step is it? Is it like a... A leap into a canyon, perhaps? Yeah. Yeah. Step into the abyss, one might say. Yeah. Like if a hypothetical space

elevator were built and you could step from, oh, or you know that document that just came out about the people who do the deep breathing underwater where they just kind of dive deep. Right. We're talking about the Mary and a trench deep. Yeah, yeah, and they kind of let free diving. They let themselves sink as low as possible. I look at my right. I see the mag. I look to my left. I see. I don't know what else is down there. I see the mag. Was that? I can't say the extent of it.

I just can't say. Okay, the mag. I brought up a documentary, I'm safe. Okay. I brought up the mag, I was talking about the mag one and I don't, and I, and I, and I, I think that it could use a rewrite. Okay, so this is a critical assessment. This is not a policy.

And so then it's not being a fan, that is critical. And then it's okay. You're cool. Fine, here's this. I looked to my left, I see a bulb fish. Okay. I'm going oceanographer. Are you a marine biologist?

You know, one of my first things I wanted to be was a marine biologist. This is the truth. One of my first, I love animals. I was thinking the other night how much I do love animals and how I do wish humans would go extinct in a way. My mom thinks, I've told my mom this before and she doesn't like that. And I'm like, human should go.

And the animals get it. Yeah. Right? I told you. Come on. Michael, don't long for the animals get it. Yeah. Right. I told you. Michael, don't long for the extinction of humanity. I'm on the side of the Megs, the fish, the actual one, not the film. Yeah.

But yeah. Yeah, that's right. When I said the Meg, it was, it was the fish. It was the actual fish. It was the actual fish. I think, yeah, I mean, like, look, nature is a moral, but it certainly isn't destroying. That's true. Our home, our habitat.

You know what I mean? It's like that's the unique peril that... I watched the movie last night that humanity was put. I won't say what the movie is, but it made me... Yeah, emotionally manipulate animals abuse in a way. And that's what got me thinking about. I like didn't love the movie, but should I say it?

Can I think you say you don't love it, then you can say it, right? Yes, and you're fine. And you're fine. Yeah, you're fine. It was the latest Guardians. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it. I didn't see it.

Yeah, I didn't see that. I think that they kind of like emotionally manipulate you with like images of animals being kind of like tortured. I have heard this. Have you seen the George C. Scott movie Day of the Dolphin? No. That's pretty fun. So it's got some problems.

I'm on the side of the dolphins. I'm on the side of that sea otter who's stealing people surf for. I love the workers destroying yachts. I want them all to win. Let me tell you something. Don't be too on the side of the for. I love that. I love the workas destroying yachts. I want them all to win. Let me tell you something. Don't be too on the side of the dolphins. Nick knows this.

A bunch of them try to fuck me back in the day. That's true. So. So. They are like sexual creature. They're horny. They're more like, I wore, look, I wore a very bright bathing suit.

Uh-huh. And they were very interested in me. I've told the story a lot. You have. Fuck ass. And they like pulled me underwater. And they like told the story a lot. You have podcasts and they like pulled me underwater and they like, I mean, the Marine Biologist, which I wanted is funny because this is something

I wanted to do, they gave me a floaty. So thanks a lot. The Dolphins trying to fuck me, you gave me a floaty. And she gave me some protection wags. Toss in a mini magnum. And a mini magnum. I'm gonna try to bring you. Yeah, I'm saying a mini Magnum for you There's there's Magnum and a mini Magnum. Who's trying to fuck who who gets a mini Magnum? Yeah I was like like a mini like small for dolphin, but big for a dog, but yeah look

I'm not gonna fuck the dolphins, but if they look, I'm not trying to fucking do all this, but if they're interested in things start happening, I don't know. Oh, my knock it a dig advantage of it was really well. And that's what that lady did in the 70s. She was like, the dolphins into it. So I fuck the dolphin and I'm proud. I thought you were going to say I'm pregnant.

I was like, Oh, my God. Where's this half man half dolphin child somewhere out there? I do believe those things exist. I kinda do too. There's probably one or two of them. There's one or two of them. The movie Day of the Dolphin, the premise is, and the movie's not as fun as the premise,

but the premise is that there is a, so dolphins have been like, taught like kinda like Coco, the Gorilla Style to like speak some rudimentary English and understand some commands they can communicate that way. This is also the sequest. There was a dolphin that Darwin, that's right. Darwin was the talking dolphin in sequestries. Although I think he has like a neural implant. I think that's what it was. Roy Shiner. Back to the seas. Yeah man, can't stay away. I can't stay away, jaws. He says I'm done with filming on water.'re these sequest. Anyway, so they're, these dolphins are speaking

and they are like super intelligent and are like capable of all these, of executing all these tasks. They get one of them or I think both of them get kidnapped by terrorists and the terrorists train the dolphins to suicide bomb the president's yacht. That's wow.

So like the premise of like dolphin is going to bomb the president's yacht is like's why I want that. So like the premise of like dolphin is going to bomb the president's yacht, is like fun, but the movie is not as fun as it sounds. Well, we guess, they drop a young bitch into the ocean, distract the dolphins. Oh. Shider water, water based actor, that, I think that honestly would be a lot of fun.

Who are our best water based actors? Yeah, yeah, water scares me. So, like... Really, Shiders up there. Shiders up there. Water scares you. Yeah, I'm not a big, I don't like the oceans. I don't like, like watching those videos of the people

learning to swim for like the Black Panther movie because there's all the water. Terrifying me, like, why do they need to do that? Like, like, what's their face had? Like, weights on her arms and she's like walking across the bottom of a pool. Like, that's, face had? Like, weights on her arms, and she's like walking across the bottom of a pool. Like, that's scary to me. Did you like way of water?

Oh, I didn't see that. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's a big time water movie. Big time water movie I've heard. I mean, it's in the title. And I'd say that the movie is mostly water. Yeah. I love the ocean. I got a respect for my, I also do have a fear of it.

It's very great. When I was younger, I would just not like happily jump in. Now, Massachusetts, way more, I will say this and I'm not promoting it. I am not promoting it, but just to want to give a fair warning that this is at the time of this record, it's shark week. It is shark. So you know, I can't even, it's going to be old. You can talk about shark week because it's all reality shows. That's true. I'm in production. Just watch yourself out there at shark week. Just be careful watch your butt be careful Because they're doing wild stuff for shark week this time. It's true. Yeah, they put a bunch of people in like a fake whale carcass Mm-hmm. I so that so the sharks would come eat it. Oh, fuck and you see the camera guys being like this is so crazy

Yeah, they're going they're going it. They're really they're really up in it. Jason, fuck. And you see the camera guys being like, this is so crazy. That's necessary. Yeah. It is very unnecessary. They're going at their really, they're really up in it. Jason Mamoah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Jason Mamoah is hosting Shark Week. That's like real money for Shark Week. Well, I taped in advance to one of the hope. Yeah. Yeah. They're going to be a lot of horny, great whites out there when Mamoah is in charge. I'm just saying. Like, I as a hon. Like, I would say he's one of our greater water based actors, even though I know he had a water based. Oh man.

Yeah, he's a cool man, but he wasn't selling me on the ocean side of things. All right, our greater water based actors. Look, free willy. He's up there. Yo, for sure. I was going to say Cameron is, of course, the water based director. Yeah, I mean, can anyone even topple? No, no. He's up there. Yo, for sure. I was gonna say Cameron is of course the water-based director. Yeah, I mean, can anyone even topple? No, no. It's impossible. The man has been to the bottom of the ocean like 80 times. He knew about the sub, he knew everything. Yeah. And you stand and maybe who directed

finding Nemo. Oh, okay. Okay. I was good. I'm saying, Halle Bailey who just did the little mermaid. Oh, sure. Yeah, she did a lot just did the little mermaid. Oh, sure. Yeah, she did a lot of that stuff actually underwater. Do we get, do we give a nod to Leo just as the Titanic? Yeah. Yeah. Maybe Winslet over Leo, because Winslet's also in way of water. And we have water.

Winslet is one of our great water actors. Winslet, all these films are flawed. There's nothing, and yes. Yeah, we have these films on our own. And we have criticisms for all of these films, and are not discussing them as fans. It's right, and it makes sense. We can mention these and not anything that you're in.

Ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Are we in trouble? I'm going to be sure to watch what you're in just so I can criticize it and talk about it. I'm going to be sending me a email and we're like, that's so, God, Jesus Christ. I think Winslet is now does go to the top of one of our great water-based actors.

Yeah. And then, if he's on Mount Gushmore, what do we call it? Oh, Jesus Christ. Oh, come on. That's a mistake I would make. It's good. Yeah, G gush more.

All right, it is, it is Mount Gush more because we have no time to think about it. Yeah, I can't fix that in time. I'm a writer, I'm on strike. I can't fix your idea right now. We got Roy Shiner. He's right there. And we got Kate Winslet so far. Can we round this out?

Flipper? But that, okay. You don't think Dolphins count? I mean, I guess if Dolphins count, then I guess free willies in there too. I mean, then it's over. And then I would say Jason Statham because of the movie we can't talk about.

Jason Statham is, was one I was, like sure, yeah. And more contemporary. Yeah, I feel like he's very good at all the underwater action stuff. Well, that makes me think like, you go all the way back to like, you know, some silent film star.

A Black Lagoon actor. Oh, yeah. Well, like Buster Keaton had a, I watched it, I can't remember the name of it, but Buster Keaton has like a big underwater movie. Oh wow. How is that movie? And also, the great thing about it. The rest of the piece, is it Jonathan Keaton has like a big underwater movie. Oh wow. How is that movie? We should, but, and also the great thing about it.

The great thing about it. Is it Jonathan Brandeis? Is that his name? Oh yeah. Oh yeah, yeah. The CQUESSE. Oh yeah, yeah. The Navigator, that's the movie.

The Navigator. Navigator's a great water movie. Huh. Yeah, I can't, I can't think of any other water movies. Samuel Jackson. Oh my god, good day. Oh. KC.

I was trying to think, I was like, I was thinking of like 90s like deep rising and Rest in peace to what's his name the star of what's his name? Who the star of deep rising? You just passed away. I don't think I know deep rising. I was thinking of Sphere and deep blue sea sphere another good one. Yeah rising treat will you just passed away another good one. You rising treat will you just best way. Rest in peace, treat. TJ Miller. You know what?

I think we put me. I think we put T. Miller's unfortunately up on Gushmore. Yeah, sorry, but he wasn't underwater and that has to train more. How about the lady, the lady

in the water? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what's his name's daughter. It's a. Amnights. No that's a what's his name's daughter. It's a night. No, yeah, it's a Ron Howard's. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I always forget they're related. I still us. Yeah, wasn't there one is that that's not the one where the lady has sex with the fish. Shaped water, that's the shape of water. Oh, well, I'm putting that on there. Yeah, that

one's in there. Yeah, that guy who played that fish. And if you want to disrespect these actors, you can watch these movies now. If you want to disrespect these actors, right, Wags? I think you can watch things. Yeah, because they are saying watch stuff. They're not saying like cancel your subscription. Yeah, there's no explicit boycott of you can't tell people to watch stuff, but people can watch things. Yes. Water movies are cool as hell. They must be a huge painly ass to shoot. Oh, absolutely.

Doug Jones is the guy that went. Like, water world, that went so over budget, because it was so expensive. Watch too. Does that really cost her, maybe, jumps right up to the end? I kind of was thinking I was shocked. We hadn't let that enter the conversation. Costner, water world, but, you know,

I mean, it is probably the only water movie that had a ride or a show at Disney. No, that's true. I just, I wonder, like, is that also, but is that costner's only water movie? Like, is like, you need to have more than run to really solidify yourself. I don't, I haven't seen, look,

filled the dreams, Is there any water on it rains? I think. Yeah. Yeah. Definitely probably. I can't think of any other Kevin Costner movies beyond. Dance is with wolves. I don't know if there's water involved there. Uh, yeah, I'm trying to think of what else. Uh, he just in they slushed them. No, that was Kevin Bacon. Kevin Bacon, Kevin Bacon. I was gonna say trouble with a curb, but that's Clint Eastwood and Hillary's playing. But he does have a baseball movie.

Draft day is their water and draft day? There might be water and draft day. Also rain outs, that's a big part of it. I think costum maybe gets pushed up. Okay, costus up. With draft day and field of dreams, they're like there is water involved with at least like watering the field.

Okay, got it. Yeah. So I think that does push costs are into water, the gush more. Okay, great. I think that's gush more level work. Yeah, I can't, I'm not seeing the bodyguard. Somebody's getting wet during that movie,

but it's not an ocean. I think that counts too. Why is I thought you were going to say some what the porn actor you always refer to? The guy. Peter North. Yeah, North. Oh, North is also will put north on Gushmore. North, yeah, North is an honorary mention.

Yeah, I'm looking at the postman, tin cup, uh, white herb. I mean, none of these are like big water movies message in a bottle. Oh my god There you go in the bottle comes from the ocean. Yes 100% oh my god castaway. Oh, yeah Ast away wise and he's captain Phillips. Yeah, oh my god Hank sneaking up into gush My hands made his way there is it's Hank cake and no costner kind of like a real like a real. I really thought about it. Tom Hanks probably has more water things. Oh, was he in splash?

He wasn't. Yeah, he wasn't. Oh, my gosh, more. Yeah. Oh my God. I wouldn't look. We got to figure this out, bitch. You have not played your drop yet.

I think there's the latest in the episode without you playing your drop that we have ever gone. And Forest jumps into the, he's a fish and boat captain. It's true. Yeah. He's a big yeah. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. He's definitely on Bushmore. Okay. Yeah. Oh my God. Oh my God.

We could end the episode here. No, just blew a lot of minds. Oh, that's thanks for you. How to help? Dispune nation. here's a little drop. Emma, hit him with a drop. Find a lot of tots. Find a lot of tots.

Find a lot of tots. Find a lot of tots. Find a lot of tots. Find a lot of fair tots. Find a lot of fair tots.'s a lot of fear. I love the dance. Not a lot of talks. I love the dance. It's a lot of fear. I love the dance. That your experience, Henley,

was that our particular domino. I liked it, fun. That was a lot of fun. Hey, doe boys, Kenny, aka Kendo, and the DAUX, Kendo. Yeah, Kendo, I said it right. Kendo? And the discord here. Hey, Kendo, Kendo. Kendo? Yeah, Kendo, I said it right. Kendo? And the discord here.

Hey, Kendo, Kendo. Kendo? Despite what you say, I think your podcast is very good. Nice for all the laughs. Thanks Kenny. Well, from our two scary didn't watch episode, we did the Domino's Tots. We just wanted to know his problem.

I don't remember the context, but I like listening to it. How do you think, like, I was just thinking of like, like his mom finding him and he's dead from listening to it. How do you think, are you getting it? I was just thinking of like, like his mom finding him and he's dead from listening to the podcast. Oh my God, you killed a candy. You killed a candy. You shouting out of the doughboys. Yeah, you're bastards, that's his dad or whatever.

I don't know. I don't know. I have no idea what, you know, but I was trying to figure something out. Yeah, I mean, yeah. That is still in Gushmoreland, to be honest with you. You think you're gonna be like drag before like a sag after. Yeah, I mean, yeah. That is still in Gushmoreland, to be honest with you. You think you're gonna be like drag before

like a sag after tribunal, be like like, so during the strike you were speculating on microphone about amount Gushmore. About amount Gushmore. With a bunch of different movies cited. Named so many movies that you were not critical about. We could tell when you mentioned Splash. And closest on the tribunal all of a 24.

Wait a minute. I did something wrong. All right. It's like we could tell when you talked about Meg, you really liked that movie. And I was I just watched it for the first time. Yeah. And I actually did like enjoy it. But I also felt there were things that could have been fixed. Yeah. There you go. There's a lot of things that could have been fixed. I also felt like the the tone throughout uneven. Look, this is the issue, Wags.

This is why the creatives have to be paid. Shark movies rule. We want some good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good movies. It's ridiculous. My buddy Doyle who I ran into on the picket line, we worked together back on the Sarasolerman program on Hulu, and she was not Bob Doyle.

She is a huge shark fan, like a huge like shark movie fan. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, it's fucking on the way. It's like a shark movie people. They love their shark movies. There's a whole community of shark loving people and the sequel to the movie we already talked about coming out next month, that's like their barbenheimer or whatever.

Yeah, I like shark movies. I'm a first shark, but I like shark movies. Mitch. Like, I've even been to Universal where you can see the shark from jaws. And yeah, I've seen a shark from jaws, yeah. It's a good time. I've seen that since I was a kid.

Come on. Well, it's going good time. But that's as little as a kid. Come on. It's going on over there. I don't know. That shark quite will. Okay. Our guest today, the host of TV I say with Ashley Ray, her debut comedy album, I see her money.

R Uses Gears are all gunked up again. I see. Mitch, her debut comedy album, I scream money, releases this fall, Ashley Ray. Hi, Ashley. Hey, I am so glad to be here to be introduced. Uh, it was just, you know, I felt I did the root thing. I jumped in early, but how could I not when we were talking gush more? I think I think it was great. And also, I'm sorry, when

when he was saying, when he was talking about you, I talked about how why you're fucked the shark so much, but they had a clean out. It's inside. We got it. Yeah. Yeah. Did they update that? Is Bruce still kind of like the classic Bruce scare at the on the universal ride? I don't think there's no now like no, yeah, I mean, I took my nephew like a year ago. And that was still the thing they were doing.

Kong got upgraded quite a bit. Kong got a little bit of a facelift. Yeah. Yeah, and then they keep the super store set and that's like what you get to walk around through. Oh, super stores? Is that what I'm talking about? Yeah, okay.

And it's like, this is so cool. It's like a fake store, but for a show that we canceled. Yeah. Actually, Kong might have gone to his hand on some of the ozum pick. It looks nice and slim. I mean, those celebrities love it. They've all been doing it. It's, I mean, we like you big.

I mean, yeah, grace who you are. Ashley, I want to talk about two restaurants that you, you, you, you pitched his options. We can't cover them because they're not in LA, but, but I do want to get your takes on these. One where we're familiar with, and we've covered on the podcast, which is Wada Burger. You were born in Texas, that's correct.

Yeah. Born in Texas, so Wada Burger has met a lot to me and my family just throughout my life. I moved to Illinois when I was two years old, but my family all stayed down there. I have brothers and sisters who are 20 years older than me. So every time I go back home, my first stop is Wada Burger than me. So like every time I go back home,

my first stop is Waterburger at least in a single time, which I think is better than In-N-Out. I think it's better than Burger King. I think it's better than McDonald's. Wow. What a burger is that place. They have the best sweet tea, the best breakfast, like their cinnamon rolls are so good.

And they had that Dr. Pepper milkshake. We're also you getting a Dr. Pepper milkshake. Right, no, that's definitely a Trump card of theirs. What's your order? The way people say water burger, it sounds like it belongs on Gushmore. It almost sounds like water burger. It does look like water burger.

Yeah, water burger and my relatives with really thick southern accents, it's like water burger and you're like, that's, yeah. My go to order is the A1 sauce burger that they had. This is a specialty menu item. It is not there all the time, but it's a good A1 sauce grilled onions, pretty simple swish cheese, which is a nice little twist on it.

And then of course, I like to get the Texas toast when I'm at Wattaburger, because you get options. Oh yeah, oh yeah. We loved it when we were there. I think it's a golden playclub if I remember correctly Right, yeah, we went when we're I mean also we were afraid of angry Texans so that also probably government are I know color opinion You're full score them over their gun. I do think anytime I've been to a water burger

I there is like a scary situation that happens right where like I think the last time I was at one Someone fully came in with their gun and was like demanding more of their fancy ketchup because they gave them the other ketchup instead of the fancy ketchup which you know I mean you got to get your catch ups right? You got it. Yeah. They should go. I don't know. I don't get it to it. Sorry, but I did it some of that out. Okay. So, so what a burger is one option.

The other one is a rockford Illinois local institution that I had never heard of and I'm now fascinated by because there's a look at the website. Look at their offerings Bifuru Bifuru baby best fast food in the country The crown jewel of my hometown rock for Illinois Imagine if Arby's was actually good. I dare you. I mean, come on. I like Arby. I mean, I was the best fast for the country. You know, you're talking to

yes. I do. And that's why I'm saying it. You have you have to go to rock for the noise, which is not an easy thing to do. You have to fly. Is that what is that with the rock for fire? His name was rock for. But that is a conf- That is a point that people often confuse. And there was investigating a lot of beef aru and stuff. Yeah, there was a lot of beef being rude and- No, I'm not. I gotta say, put them on gush more.

Yeah, yeah. Beef aru, it started in rockford as a little chain that blew up and then like when I was in high school, there were five beef aru's, but each one one what they do is each one has a different theme. So like one was your 1950s beef ruse and they had you know like people like all the workers were like a poodle skirts and stuff and then they had a firehouse beef ruse that was based on like the first firehouse that was built in rockford and they have like a rock and roll beef ruse. So you and your friends could be like a rock and roll beef aru.

So you and your friends could be like, what's your favorite beef aru? Personally, I was the fan of the 1950s one. That was close to my house. But their big thing is like they do a beef sandwich, kind of like Arby's, their cheese fries. I like the follow-up explanation, but I like the 90-footie ones. It was closest to my house. Somebody, yeah, I guess that.

It truly was just that. I like the theme too. I mean, like I love Mel's driving, I guess that. It truly was just that. I like the theme too, I mean, I love Mel's driving, I guess, and that's like 1950s, I survived. And I did, I mean, I liked the theme. Some would probably say today, the best one is the Firehouse Beafrue. It's a little fancy, or it's on the east side.

But what makes the Beafrue experience is that you get to your table, and this isn't your classic fast food. Now they walk around with like wet naps and Andy's chocolate mints. Oh wow. And they hand those out. And to me as a child and Andy's chocolate mint

was the fanciest finest chocolate that anyone could have or give you. And that you were just getting, they were just handing these out. I was like, this is the fancy as fast food experience in the country. Okay. That would have blown my mind

because I associate an Andy's mint with like, it's like Christmas at grandma. At grandma. Yeah. And it's like this special moment where you're like, I had my beef aru and now I get my Andy's chocolate afterwards. It's so special.

Like, I couldn't even tell you my go-to order there because it changes so often. Like their burgers are good. They do this like fried pork chop sandwich. That's so good. I'm looking at that. The pork tenderloin. That's my mom's favorite thing to get. She gets that just onions and mustard, big, big fan of their cheese fries. And then they have this special salt that they make. That's, I don't even know what's in it. It's like a beef aru salt, but it's like kind of seasoning salt with a little more cayenne and you put that on the

cheese fries or you want to be healthy. They got broccoli. Yeah, and they're broccoli with cheeses also. Very good. I like that. Yeah. I like the name beef aru. It sounds like it sounds like an old fashioned term too

of like if it sounds like something from the 1910s or something. Yeah. And also, sounds kind of like, I don't know, sounds like a great movie name or something, like a, this. There's something about the name that I love, Wigs. Well, I think of a kangaroo, except you're a place to hang with beef.

Oh, yeah. Beefaroo. Yeah, so it sounds like you have an Australian term. Yeah, and maybe it's like one of those weird Australian versions of an American restaurant. Oh, yeah, like a hundred one of those weird Australian versions of a different, of an American restaurant. Oh, yeah, like we not sure it might be what they call, it might be what they call cows in Australia.

Or not sure. And they'd be like, Oh, and obvious and Australia is a beef arue. Oh, that makes sense. But instead it is just this weird little chain restaurant in Northern Illinois and parts of Southern Wisconsin that is now actually spread. I think they're opening a location in Dallas, which my family is excited about. But I am a little sad that it's like spreading out

to the rest of the world. Remember that movie, Twista, when the beef arugula shot all around the screen? That's what they call cows. That's what they call cows. Yeah, I get it. I thought you remember that and Twista? The beef and rue went for a willy-nilly ride.

Yeah. I am on our B's defender, but I see what you mean about these being like a better Arbise, because they have a beef and cheese sandwich there. They have like a beef and cheddar that just looks like a plus up beef and cheddar. It looks like just a better execution. Yeah, it's just really better execution.

I know that they, I think their big thing was like they pay more than most fast food places. So it's people who like genuinely are like, oh, I like working here and I'm gonna make this kind of whatever fast food really good. I like to believe, that's my belief when I walk into a beef room that everyone loves it and we are all having the best time. And then I believe, that's my belief when I walk into a B-Brew that everyone loves it and we are all having the best time. And then I get my Andy's chocolate mint and

it's just, ah, there's no better experience. Anytime I go back home, it is my first stop. It is like, I gotta get the B-Frew. Wow. I should've said a B-Frew went around the twist. Don't they say around the twist, doesn't that have a strong name? I do they, I don't know that. There's at least, there was a TV show, when I was, like remember, like there was an Australian TV show called Round the Twist. What? Why would he know this?

There was an Australian. It reared in America. I'm almost sure that this is like such a weird memory that's coming back. Was Round the Twist a TV show? Yes, you are absolutely correct. Australian TV show starring a Mitchell mark Mitchell this is probably why I even know

it is 90 90 comedy that ran for four seasons see this is this is what sag is going to get you for you like were you promoting around the twist and Australian children's comedy drama round the yeah residuals were on the twist what skyrocketing. Although to clarify for you, the name of the family is the twist family. So I guess it was around that.

So maybe it's not a term. Yeah, I think it was just like around that. Yeah, yeah. Ozzy's gonna love it. They're gonna love that we brought up around the twist. Let me read you this episode description. This episode aired June 27th, 1989. This is entitled,

this around the twist episode entitled, without my pants. So I'm six years old, about to be six years old. Okay. And you're watching the episode where this is what happens, this is synopsis. When Pete touches shovel, a ghost dog, he finds himself unable to say anything

without adding the phrase without my pants. This leads Pete Linden and Bronson on a hunt to find the bones of Ben Byron shovels master. I gotta get this. I gotta buy this. He sees a ghost dog. He's a ghost dog. He touches him and then he can't say anything without saying without my pants. Without my pants. That's his curse. So like I'm hungry mom without my pants. So they gotta go, go exume the corpse

of the shovels departed master. Oh, I know. Why is that stick in my head? And then I'm like, what was my dad like? What are you back with the word, deal boys. What's up, everybody? It's your boy, the spoon man.

A couple of things happened during the break. The first thing is, and I want to get to this in a second, but Ashley told me you went to college at Williams College in Massachusetts. Yes. Wow. There's a Massachusetts connect. Wow. Yeah, did you like it? But Ashley told me you went to college at Williams College in Massachusetts.

There was a Massachusetts connect. Massachusetts connect. Yeah, did you like it? I did. I loved living in Western mass. I think like... It's a party out there. It's a weird little party.

Yeah, there can be hippie-dippy out there. Yeah, I was in the hippie-dippy part and then you would go like 20 minutes out to North Adams and it was like, oh, that's where they make the math. And there's like a part on our campus where you could touch Vermont, Massachusetts, and New York all at the same time. Like it's that far northwest. And so our biggest cities were like North Adams pitch field that was like, we're going somewhere.

Wow. You've been to four corners, national monument. No, but yeah. It's been four stays so long, pretty cool. Was it cool? Yeah, absolutely. I love it. It seems like one of those things where I'm like,

I really want to do that. And I always expect people to be like, it's really not worth it. But every time people are like, it's totally worth it. Fucking rocks. It's so fun. It's so cool. You stay in in four stays so long.

Like, and yeah, that's what we did in Western Massachusetts because there was nothing around for like 30 minutes from my campus Like the closest grocery store was like a 30-minute drive We got a Duncan Donuts like my sophomore year and that was huge Okay, so you get you get a Duncan and this is before Duncan has gone nationwide So this is like something of a novelty at the time. Yeah, it was like Yeah, it was a game changer. Like, I remember kids, and it still wasn't very close

to campus. It was still probably like a 20 minute walk, but it's still kids were like, we got to wake up early. We got to get like an event on campus had Dunkins. That's how you got people to go there. Wow. It was just being like, we got the little donut holes. We're doing this, munchkins, and you would get every kid on campus to actually show up.

So, do you still have a lot of fandom towards Duncan? Does that hold a place in your heart? Yeah. I'm a big Duncan girl. Sorry. Very long time. I hit my microphone very awkwardly, he's trying to do a fist bump with that.

A fist bump was tried. I was excited about it. I love Duncan. Duncan's good. Okay, and. I was excited about it. I love Duncan. Duncan's good. Okay, and since we're talking about it, let's talk about how Duncan took ham off their menu. Cause I'm upset about this. I've been angry for months and nobody cares

except for me and four people on Reddit who talked about this. But my go-to was always the English muffin with ham and cheese side of the little wonderful hash browns they make. Love their hash browns. I'll tell you when I was a boy, my go-to order was ham, egg, and cheese on a bagel.

I love it. That was it. Well guess what? Guess what? Tell a little kid you, sorry, dream crush, because they get rid of ham. And it's not like it's just around the twist with bacon on my sandwich instead.

Now you don't want any wants that. And this is the thing, because so many people when I tweeted about this, we're like, actually calm down. Maybe they just don't want to do pork products anymore, but they still have bacon. They still have bacon. They still have their gross maple sugar bacon that I hate, but they don't have ham anymore. And you know how hard it is to find a good ham cheese English muffin in the city of LA.

It is nearly impossible. That's not something. Nothing you see around here often. But Mitch, I know you was something of a ham skeptic, but in this context, you like ham. I like, I maybe I've never revealed this before. That was my go-to for a long time. Ham is coming and cheese on a plane bagel.

Wow. I was saying ham dinner, I was more of a ham skeptic on. That I can understand is true. And. I was more of a ham skeptic on that I can understand it. And like and and also like a ham sandwich. I would I would go a different way than a ham sandwich a lot of the time. But I like ham. Yeah, especially when you when you got it. Why is I loved there was a there was a ham and cheese omelette. I used to love to oh yeah. Nice that it levels out when you put it with the saltiness works great with the eggs. Ham and cheese is the best breakfast combination to me.

Ham and cheese, Chris. Ham and cheese, toasty. There's a lot you can do with that. And for Duncan to just throw this out the window, I just, I hope they hear me. I hope they're listening. I'm angry. I'm upset.

Bring back ham. Wow. Bring back ham. You heard it. Wow. Bring back ham. I like ham. You heard it dunking, bring back ham. Like, it doesn't make any sense. And just so that you said, Heisenberg and his boys were making meth down south, right?

Yeah. And now you have to go out to Heisenberg to make the ham. You go just to get the ham. The ham is. That's how it works. It's now a list it. Does we manufacture it? That's what it seems like.

That's what it seems like. That's what it seems like. Because if you're in LA trying to get ham, people are like, do you have a permit for that? They hate it here. They hate it. They hate it. Yeah, smoke that ham off in a motor home. Get out of here.

Have you been to Muffin, Can Stop Us? Wait, there's an actual Muffin, Can Stop Us. You're a business. That's what it's called. It is called Muffin, Can Stop Us, which my friends refuse to call it that. Like, I'll be like, you want to get breakfast? You want to go to the place I love and they're like, I'm not going to say it.

I'm not. But it's muffin can stop us. And their whole thing is like, they do English muffin sandwiches, but they don't do ham and cheese. Oh, wow. Why? Yeah, that's a glaring emission. Why?

Yeah. Muffin can stop us. I must have been in that writer's room. Yeah. Muffin can stop us. It's up there with like, love you latte. Oh, yeah. In terms of, yeah. Oh, loving can stop us. It's up there with like love you latte. Oh yeah. And so, yeah.

That's good stuff. But honestly, I do kind of love going, muffin can stop us every time I order from there. So that's, I'm the problem. Muffin can stop us. It's fun to say. It's really fun. We can get salt on the line.

Yeah. Duncan bring back him. Honestly, and I do think it was like my Massachusetts time that made me really love Duncan because Starbucks like doesn't even compare to me. And they, they, yeah, they also no longer have him. Starbucks is nowhere near as good. We, we don't like Starbucks. I prefer.

I've never go back into a Starbucks. Wow. Starbucks is, I mean like this. It's so ubiquitous. It's so ubiquitous. It's so ubiquitous. It's so, they're unibusting. And they've been slow rolling the way they've been doing it.

I read a piece about this. They've basically been just like dragging their feet and because the enforcement is so limited, you probably read the same thing. That it's just like, they can just wait out these, these stores that organize. And it's depressing. I don't love Starbucks because it's so ubiquitous.

Sometimes you're like at an airport and it's like, this is the coffee option that's available as the instances, but I generally prefer, I mean, I always prefer Duncan. I think Duncan is a better option. Yeah, I think it's because I've got some of the best fast food breakfast and better coffee. Better coffee, their hash browns are so good.

Great, great, Ash Brown. I had a big burp a second ago from our restaurant. I got a soda. I got a soda. I kind of did. Yeah, so people may be noticed, but look at it, great Ashbrow. I had a big burp a second ago from our restaurant. I got a so, I got a so, I kind of did. Yeah. So people may be noticed, but look,

I'm gonna edit it out. No, that's hard. I mean, if you're listening, I probably want some of that. Yeah, that's a great, great, great, great. You know? I agree.

We wanted the restaurants apart. We wanted you want the experience. You want to hear me chew. You want to hear me swallow. You want to hear me burp. Some people really do like that. They do like that. They do.

I, we wanted today's restaurant and I had, I said to Sus, where I've been eating well and then a Sunday. You said to Sus, or who showed up at the restaurant. So I said, I have a surprise for you guys. And then I came to the restaurant with Sus. And Sus was not shy about eating any of the food. No, not at all.

And also got ranch on his shirt almost immediately. Immediately, hasn't it? And then had ranch on his shirt immediately. And then at the end of the meal spilled ranch all over the place. Yes. Speaking of Peter North. It was a Peter North, like in Peter North

ranch all over the floor of this restaurant. Which, which, and on the, like, the nice little old style, like, oh, yes. On the booth, which he spilled ranch and my coach. Remember, we talked about this like. Oh, yes. I mean, who's, which he spilled ranch and my coach? Remember, we talked before this. Oh, I remember. He left a ranch stain in my coach. Yeah.

But he was like, have you, he texted me? He's like, have you left it yet? And because it was like, you know, five minutes till we were supposed to be there. And I was like, no, I have it. I'm leaving now. And so I, he was like, pick me up. I picked up Suss, he came with me.

But I want to say this, before we get into restaurants. Yes, because that was the other thing I wanted to bring up. I picked up Suss, he came with me. But I wanna say this, before we get into restaurants, yeah, because that was the other thing I wanted to bring up the came up during the break. Okay, you wanna say what I'm saying? No, no, no, you can drive it. I've never thought about round the twist till today, and then it popped in my head, and I think I can kinda sing the theme song still.

Okay, great. Let's go. Have you ever felt like this, when strange things happen, you're going around the twist. I think that's it. I mean, that was a stirring rendition of whatever that was. So was this like an eerie and I know it was like, I think it was a

tragedy. It was this family where weird things happen. Although, okay, there is a whole portion on the theme song on the Wikipedia page that I don't know if you were right because it says that the theme song borrowed lives from nursery rhymes such as there wasn't old lady who swallied a fly, Humpty Dumpty. Okay. And I don't know that that came through when you were in it. Okay.

Have you ever felt like this when strange things happen, you're going around the twist, I'm gonna Google it and see if I can get it. I'm loving that part of it. Here we go. I'm gonna, can I play it? Yeah, play it on your phone. Okay, here we go. I'm playing it. Let's see if I'll close I am okay. I'm not thought about this show at all or heard the theme song. I got a

ad. I got second ad. I get YouTube premium huh? Yeah, they're really loading up that. That's a good thing to say during the strike. Again there's not a consumer boy back. Yeah. Oh, it's so wrong. This is so good. Doesn't it sound twisted, right? Yeah. That's pretty good. It's pretty, that's pretty fun. I haven't thought about this show in 30 years. What, did this re-air on like, in syndication or something? Yeah, it was on top.

It was on top. I don't know, it's okay. Okay. Wow. Huh. Wow, I don't get it. How can I remember something like that and then be so stupid all the time?

It's very frustrating. Yeah. It's because your brain is dedicated to things like that instead of like facts. Yeah, it's like I know so many weasier lyrics and for what? For what? What is that gonna get me in life?

You guys have met up a doc at a pretty cool. I as a kid, you know, like I always thought there, like I thought it was so important to learn song lyrics because I was like being an adult someday someone's gonna come up to you and be like, do you know all these song lyrics? I thought it was just a thing you had to know. And now, no, I'm just stupid.

And I know the song to Spice Girls album said no one will ever talk to me about. I now think that I'm like the oftenheimer of entertainment. That's what it is. That's what it is. I think that's what it is. I think that's what it is. I think that's what it is. I think that's what it is. I think that's what it is. I. That's what it is. Yeah.

That's what it is. Yeah. That's what it is. I think that's what it is. And if the president came to you and said we need a... We need the worst TV show, the biggest bomb. The biggest bomb. We're going to drop it in another country.

Yeah. I think that would be the right guy to call. Yeah. you certainly are interested in the wives of others. So that helps. Who? Hey, OPP and I'm that's what I That's my letterbox review was OPP and I'm Er, Rick's driving and out is build a chain. We visited a place. I've never been about that either. Whatever you're fine I was gonna say, but then you criticized it at the end. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've criticized it. Need some changes.

Okay, here we go. Next. Ricks driving an out. Ashley, this was your pitch. This is a small local LE institution. His second generation is family owned. This is a place I was aware of, but I'd never been to. And it's got like, it's one of those weird things where there are like four locations.

They all have the same menu, but it's possible that they're under different, like a couple of them are clearly owned by the same people. A couple other ones are made to be independent. Maybe it's a one in the stickler here. The one in Pasadena has chicken tenders. The one we went to does not. Okay, so there's some, there's a little bit

of like the chicken tenders. Got it. Just obsessed me as a fan of chicken tenders. But I also say I just love that it's called drive in and out. I love that. That's a, by the way, a date Matthew song, drive in and out.

Oh wow. Mm, wait, drive in and out. Yeah. I think it's driving. Put that on your playlist. Lady Bird. Yeah. Oh, lady bird.

Crash into me. That's the best you can come up with. Right. The trials and tribulations of a white lady going to college. You had to look. I like Lady Bird. You had, this is the thing. I get what you're saying that you want a DMB deep cut,

but I feel like you needed something recognizable for a general audience. Yeah, and especially that audience has, it was for the younger girls, you know. Yeah, and they don't know Dave. They don't know the deep cuts. Okay, this was for the younger girls. Yeah, and they don't know Dave. They don't know the deep cuts. Okay, this was for the Gen X, young 20 something girls. Right.

I'm in trouble. It's driving, drive out. Not driving, and out. Still, whatever you get. You know whatever could have worked. You get it. So you nailed the round the twist theme song. But your favorite artist, Dave Matthews,

you can't remember the name. You can't remember the name. The Floyd is my favorite artist, Dave Matthews, you can't remember the name. I remember the name. The Floyd is my favorite artist, music artist. Okay. And then, who's your favorite artist? Renoir? Uh, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, he did, this paintings were crazy. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So, uh, Rick's driving it out, again, second generation family owned, there's a location. I believe the original is in the town of Whittier, which Mitch is the hometown of Richard Nixon, famously. Oh. Yeah.

No one Whittier than him. Huh. You know, I saw a picture of a young Nixon onto the recently hot. Where's he? Not gonna be maybe controversial, but he was an attractive man. And I feel like he's like the least sexy of all, like I feel like he like didn't, oh wait, no, no. I mean, he had that head of hair when he was young,

like full black, like, you know, and doesn't look as sinister, but it looks more like, you know, the bad boy. Oh, I see. I've seen this photo of him of him playing like rugby or something like that. Yeah, yeah, he looks like a real rugby fuck boy. Oh shit, he's pretty handsome.

He seems like the least, the president who fucked the least though, man. Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean, he aged bad, aged bad, aged boy. So president Mitchell gets in office. Yeah, who's the most chased president? It might be Nixon. Nixon just, there's no stories about him as much.

Yeah. And then like, there's stories of like the old president's like, they like Jack, like, you know know Ben Franklin was like a free. I mean he was a president. Sorry, I'm just saying historical figures. No, I know you mean like he had like cameras and recording stuff all over his office. So I think if he was doing something weird in there,

we would have heard it. That's a good point. There was so many Lincoln is very chased. I mean there's like no. No, Lincoln was gay. Well that's that's the speculation. I guess he could have been chasing it. So like that's yeah, that's like, no, I think it was gay. Well, that's that's the speculation, right? I guess he could have been chasing gay. So like, like, that's, yeah, that's like, I don't know.

That's like, but like, it seems like he's also, I don't want my president fucking as much. I love JFK. Yeah. He's like, I don't want the president fucking all the time. I feel like FDR was definitely fucking. He was, he was certainly fucking. I hate, I hate fucking, what's his name?

With jumbo there. The, I'll be J. I'll be J. I'll be J was fucking. I hate, I hate fucking what's his name with jumbo there. The LBJ. LBJ, LBJ was fucking. Yeah, fuck that. Big, you just bragging about your younger dick. I feel like LBJ was fucking, but mostly his wife. Like, he was probably like a real wife guy, like super into his wife in like a kind of gross way.

Speaking of. What, speaking of wife guys? No, Ladybird. Isn't that, it was, is this a ladybird? Oh, yes, of course. Oh, yeah, there you go. Yeah, she was. But that's what it was.

Ladybird. Which is why I think they fuck so much. Because Ladybird is like a nickname you give your wife when you're like, kinky. Yeah. So. That's true.

Yeah. So this is a from Nixon's old stopping grounds. And also their website is great. It's one of those. So this is a, from Nixon's old stopping grounds, and also their website is great. It's one of those charming, just sort of like, we don't give a fuck websites, where here's, I'll read this copy and we'll put this up in the video. I'd like say birdfuck.com.

Not like birdfuck.com, it's a less thought has got to undo it. They have a picture of their Pastrami sandwich, and then there's, I'll read this caption verbatim. Have you tasted our Past Trommie sandwich? I'm a paragraph. Click here to add your own text and edit me. Let your users get to know you. So they just didn't update the template.

I just uploaded it. That's funny. Straight up looks like a website from 1999, like Angel City, DOC, Angel Fire. It's wonderful. It tells you all you need to know about. like you're just gonna get the basic burger, fries, experience here. Don't come for anything fancy, okay? This is Rick's.

What do you really need besides the hours and the address? So it's like, it's got that. And they also had, and this was a big reason, I think it's on a lot of people's radar. In 2021, they put a sign up. They have like a marquee. And the sign just read, spaghetti is back.

And people are like, what's fucking girl? Where did it go? Yeah, it was a weirded, well, I wasn't going. And this is when I moved into this neighborhood. So that was like my introduction. Yeah, to this restaurant was that I was just kind of like, you know, there's other kind of nicer food places, but this place has like a drive through.

And then I see spaghetti is back. And I just am like, first of all, what is this burger place doing making spaghetti? Right. I got that day. I got that day. I did see a bunch of relieved Italians around town. Yes, I think we all remember this is the day.

Just Italian Americans and Los Angeles, breed the sigh of relief. You know, spaghetti was back. It was like when they hanged Mussolini, it was the same sort of thing. Just like waving flags in the streets. And then they had spaghetti is back on there for like, I feel like that sign was up for like a year.

Yeah, they didn't change it for a while. And the context of it was that spaghetti, so this place is, I imagine these exist other places, but I think if this is an LA thing of like the place, it's not quite a diner, it's not quite a fast food restaurant, you order the counter, but there's like booze, and they have like a dinner menu, in addition to like all the, you know,

the stuff they'd make on the grill. It's, so it's in this weird sort of liminal space if you can't really tell what it is, but they're kind of everywhere. And they basically streamline their menu during COVID, which included removing spaghetti, which is part of their dinner menu, because probably people aren't getting it to go as much. At least that's what we're speculating. Yeah, I'm guessing people aren't getting it in a drive-through to get spaghetti.

Yeah, I love that you can get throttles. You get a much like a restaurant we went to. Remember that one spaghetti, the Italian place that we went, we're, uh, we get it to go. God damn it. You know what I'm talking about the, uh, the, that we, it was a drive. Oh, it was like kind of a lot of drive. Yeah, yeah. So we got to go. God damn it.

It was a big, but Zoli's, thank you. Zoli's. Oh, yeah, yeah.. Yeah. Puzzle. It was a big, Puzzle Lee's. Thank you. Oh, yeah, yeah, I've been one of those. Can we, just for everyone who's listening this episode or watching this episode, we have, some things going like, hey, wire with the head gum technical side. Head gum is a mess.

So head gum is a mess. So head gum is a mess. It's not Casey's fault. Casey's doing his best. Trying to fix it. We normally have Emma up on our big screen. Don't keep going. So she can keep an eye on things.

Keep going, what are you doing? You're doing it in a side, it's distracting. Oh, I know, to keep doing it. I normally have Emma up on her big screen so we can interact with her. And now right now, she's just on a like a, she's just coming out of one of Casey's monitors so we can't see her.

And we can kind of hear her. But Fizzoli's, yes, that came from Emma from the distant, tinny voice of Emma. Yeah. Fizzoli's who we, Casey check your text. Fizzoli's who we, who do we do for? What are you up to?

What are we, also why is Stinghaw, what is Stinghaw doing there? This is pretty good. I was wondering all this. Oh yeah, I brought Stinghaw. That's a, that's a Casey. I'm kinda into it. Why was, what, Sting All this, I was like, yeah, I brought sting in. That's a question. That's a casey. I'm kinda into it.

Why was, what? Sting, one of my favorite wrestlers, like, Sting Kicks ass. I love, I love the addition of sting. Who do we, I get, sorry, I'm not, I don't mean to interrupt. I wanna talk about sting, but who also, who do we go to Fizzoli's with?

And also, we did a thing where we, look at me, Wax also we did a thing where we look at me wax. We did a thing where We announced something or something at Fizzoli's I think remember we brought in like a camera We announced the Doboy snack pack at Fizzoli wise Oh He comes out of Oh, no, look out there. Oh my God. Head comes out of contrast. Oh, it's his hair wire here.

Watch it and look at this thumbnail, be like, what's going on? That's not the show I'm looking for. I wanted, oh. Those guys are way too fat to be Hollywood Hanover. But just a smart. Just a smart. Just a smart.

Sorry, that when I was cutting off about Sting, I was trying to get the camera on me for one. So that case, he could put this stupid bullshit together. Just put the 420 Super Sash up. We went with me. Go away. Go to go back to one more. Oh, what's going on? This is what hair wire over here. What's happening?

Come on, so you can come here and make us feel bad about talking about Meg. Come on. But Gettie has actually the third most common bet. On track in the United States. This is the United States. Oh, actually, many Italian Los Angeles, you know, as we're killed, it's Medicaid.

Oh, sorry. Sorry for joking about that. So this is a place that, Mietro Johari was the guest for the first time. Oh, that was a great episode. A lot of fun. Oh, and she had such a connection to Fizzoli. Yes, 100% was like a childhood favorite. But what do we do?

Didn't we film something in there with a Fizzoli? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. We announced Doboy's snack pack. We shot a video there because it was one of the only times we were able to get together for whatever reason. Because it it was still we were coming out of COVID a little bit I think that was in the snack pack that's what I want to know. Backpack we had a backpack. Some fun misadventures for a good time.

This was a Spotify live show a quicksotic adventure of ours where we were got like I think like eight weeks into our 20-week run and they cancel us. We don't want this anymore. Had a bunch of complaints about what we, because we were like, we're gonna go on a review, snacks every week. And then we literally got notes from them that were like, why are they talking about Kanye West

and jacking off? Like this is, because we just do our show. That was a good question. Yeah. We kind of, we maybe ended Spotify Live forever. We did, no, we were part of the press release, like Spotify Live is going away forever.

And like, Doe Boys was like listed as among the struggle regrets. The day that he was like, oh, who could you up with those guys? Yeah. We took one of your income revenues away, gamers, and we fucked it up so bad. I mean, as me to do like a Spotify podcast,

that was really weird. It was supposed to be like some live Day like dating relationship Advice show where they have people like call in and I was just like, why do you want me to do this? I don't I don't write about I've been just mean to people about relationships And they're like, yeah, we want like a modern mean Delilah where people will like ask you for advice That's really I was like, I mean, okay That's that's there's probably one of our show to be more like really. I was like, I mean, okay. That's that's that's there's probably one of our show to be more like that. I'm sure. But yeah, they had they had two in cells.

Wait, did you do it though? Or you just like, yeah, we did like three pilot episodes. Okay. And this was definitely after they did that announcement. And then I just they came back and they were like, we aren't doing any live shows that Spotify anymore, like, thanks for doing this, but we're not doing anything, and I was like, okay, cool. That sounds like the doughboys effect. Yeah, it sounds like it was you guys, who made you lose that paycheck,

and then they gave all of our money to Joe Rogan instead. So, that on you? Probably. We give money to Joe Rogan too. We do a monthly doughnut guy, Um, and we subscribe in a monthly donation. Um, stay. I will talk about staying because I was trying to do that stupid thing. So you're a fan of staying your, your fan of wrestling. I love wrestling. I'm a big fan

of vintage wrestling. Okay. And from Texas and my family's there, world class championship wrestling, I think is the best. Wow. Yeah. So I'm very excited for the Vaughn Eric's movie. Oh, right. Yeah. I think we'll probably have notes too. It'll have some problems.

I will, it'll have some, the tone I hear throughout will need work, but I am excited for that because I was like obsessed with the Vaughn Eric. Yeah. Bruiser Brody, like that's my kind of generation of like, I had posters of them on my wall. I have a Bruiser Brody pillow I sleep my kind of generation of like, I had posters of them on my wall. I have a Bruiser Brody pillow I sleep with. Whoa!

I love it. I was watching I watched the Stone Cold. I was like the Stone Cold documentary that A and E went. Oh yeah, yeah. Came on and it came on as like suggested viewing and then I watched the entire thing, which is like, it's a little bit tidy in the way that it doesn't get into like...

They talk about like Stone Cold's like dark period. Yeah, you had a dark period. Yeah, dark period. They don't get into like, they like, they talk about like, Stone Cold's like dark period. Yeah, you had a dark period. I don't really, they don't get into. Yeah, and it's like very WWE sponsor. Yeah, it's like very clean in that way. Yeah, and that's like the same with that other WWE like wrestler biography show they tried to do where they were just like,

you can't talk about any of the drugs or bad stuff. And so it's like, so what is the point of what we're watching? Yeah, that's so much of that life, I'm sure. Especially back then, I know things maybe have gotten better. So I do think Dark Side of the Ring, a documentary. So I can talk about it, does do a great job. That's who? Right, right.

Yeah, I get real obsessed with Dark Side of the Ring. Dark Side of the Ring has some interesting episodes. And some dark, some very dark stuff. So it was, they also have some, because now the show is so far in seasons that you can tell they're kind of running out of wrestlers. So sometimes they'll just pick someone who like isn't even that dark or interesting.

And you can, every time they just forced the guest to say something like, well, you know, if he had made it, he probably would have been as big as the rock. I guess. And you're like really the guy who played a clown as his bit, like he wanted me to believe that like yeah, don't yeah, I forget which one is which and they just like

convinced he's talking heads to be like, oh yeah, yeah, like if he thinks hadn't gone bad for him, he could have been the next Rick Flair. You're like you're lying to make some drama. But from that point on, things got way worse for Gilbert, and for Gilbert. But that's when things started to go wrong for the junkyard dog. It's like, you kind of figured.

There's a thing in the Stone Cold one where Steve Austin's like, he left. Because I didn't really watch the end of Stone Cold's career. I was in college and I had fell off a little bit, but in 2003 he leaves wrestling and they like buried him. Vince McMahon went on like the inside W like WWE all access or whatever was like he took his ball and went home and then like on the biography Steve Austin's like you know I took my ball and went home and you're like yeah you must still be mad at that guy. Yeah right. Yeah. You're not addressing the whole thing.

Exactly. We're big wrestling fans, especially the lot. You gotta come to, you gotta come with us to PWG. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You love it. There's one coming up. I'm very excited.

Very live show. Yeah. Let's talk about a Rick's drive in a number. That is the order of the day. Yeah. So I had to bring up my phone because I took a picture of the receipt and that's the best way to get through everything that we ordered.

We got a way. We ordered everything we ordered, especially because we had Sustard. We had four people we ordered a lot of food. When they said that, we ordered something for me and then when he saw the spread, he was like, I'm gonna get something. Yeah, I'm gonna get something. We didn't get a drink. Just for Tostada, I believe. We got. Yeah, I'm gonna get something. We didn't get him a drink. Just for toastada, I believe.

We got to toastada. We got to toastada. We got toastada. We got toastada. I kind of liked that he got it because we hadn't got any Mexican food. Yeah, but I thought, go with the taco. How to first try.

Go with the quesadilla. I feel like toastada is kind of a bottom barrel picket, any Mexican restaurant. It was, it was, it was a strange choice to be like, it just doesn't give me like a sense of what the Mexican food is as much right there. But you know what? I actually think it kind of was a good choice in the end

for as we did. He gave the whole thing. We had so much food there, but when they said the price, that was the first thing, because we had ordered all this food and then they said the price out loud on this long receipt. Yeah, and I'll let you just, I'll let you talk it out Nick,

because the price was I was like, that's it for everything we ordered. No, it was $72. Insane. Which is for, you know, we basically got like, for the four of us, we got like 10 people's worth of food. Yeah. So it's a place you can still, you know,

and you can tell by the clientele, there's a lot of working class people there. I always feel like my judge of one of these places is there someone there wearing a work uniform? Because that's like an indicator that, okay, this is like a place where someone who works for a living can afford to get their lunch. So I as a striking TV writer can also afford.

Right? So here's what we, first of all, talk through the fried stuff. We got the onion rings, we got the zucchini, and we got the fries. Now they forgot the fries till the end of the meal. We almost didn't ask for them. I'm glad we did because those fries were hidden. The fries are fucking good.

Amazing fries. Those are great. They were hidden. You should have fries that way, frankly. Those are really good. And I mean, they're not particularly salted. I mean, they have salt on the table, but that's just a thing to know going in.

But. Can I just say a thing I noticed when we gave the fries and I like took a fry out and I saw Tusser take a fry out and then he took like five, like seven fries. Oh, you got the handful of fries. He grabbed a handful of fries and I was like, oh, I thought we were just slowly, just seems like you're taking your whole portion. Yes. But then he ate all those and then he went back for more fries.

Yeah, they're good fries and I will say my favorite way to do it is I do like the ketchup on the side and then I cover my ketchup in salt. Oh, that's a lot of fun. Yeah, that I'm very savvy. I saw Susser just, he was using the ranch from his shirt. Yeah, I did see that. I should say, the ranch which comes with the onion rings and the zucchini, both very, very battery.

I think that was our big observation there. It makes our own ranch, I think. Yeah, well, the ranch is great. I do really like their ranch and I think their ranch is good with the, I was. I think that was our big observation there. It made their own ranch, I think. Yeah, well, the ranch is great. I do really like their ranch. And I think their ranch is good with the, I was having a blast dipping the fries in the ranch. I mean, that was like the best of the fried sides. Let me just say this.

Yeah, it's a little heavy. I was thrilled, Susser came. I loved having Susser came. I always love having Suss there. He was like, there's something going on with the fryer. He didn't want to talk about it too loud. Yeah. But I kind of love the onion rings. Onion rings were good. I like them. They're very battery. They're very battery, but they weren't, I wasn't getting the whole things of onion coming out of them. Like I was biting it and I was

getting a bite and it was breaking off and there was onion still in the other part. Yeah. And yeah. I liked it. It was battery, but it almost, it reminded me of kind of an East Coast batter on, like kind of light, like a lighter batter, but it was heavily battered in a light batter. Yeah, because it doesn't have a crunch to it, which is like, it's battered and you get that, but there's no like crunchy kind of bit.

Yes. I like. 100%. Yeah, it wasn't like, it wasn't like a super, super breadie. Or like I don't know how to explain it that well. But it was, it's like the kind of thing that, where if it was on a wing, it disappoints me when I like, this is better, but it's not a crunchiness.

But on this I liked it. Yes, and I also I think the, you know, the technique of the frying, and maybe this speaks to what you were saying, which is like, it didn't fall apart. It was really cohesive. And then yeah, like, my nightmare, you bite into an onion ring,

you bring the whole onion string with you in one bite. That did not happen with any of these. So they were really well prepared. If just, you know, just know they go, well, heavy on the batter. But the fries, they're the star. Fries were fantastic. And if I just got in a But the fries, they're the star. The fries were fantastic. And if I just got in a burger and fries,

I would have been in a hog heaven. I'll say this, there's zucchini sticks. I got the slippage. I bid into it. It was very hot, of course. I should have waited to even have a bite of it. And then it was slipping in and out of the batter. Yeah.

Are you doing that, look? I actually, this is one of the times actually truly didn't mean to do that. But it was slipping in and out of it was slipping in. Yeah, it was. And for me, I only like fried zucchini if it's very like thin, like more of a strip, and there's a very thick like a fried pickle. Yeah. And so, you know, yeah. I agree. That was like a, there's a little bit of a disappointment. I just, I also just, you get those vegetables that have a lot of moisture, and then you put them in a deep fryer, and they're just like so hot

when you bite into them. It's just an unpleasant experience. So you gotta like, okay, like, I'll cut it in half and let it come down to room temp. That's no fun either. So I think the other two were the way to go. Okay, let's get into some mains. I'm just gonna list them out.

The famous spaghetti dinner. You did order that. So I did get the famous spaghetti. And that comes with a soup. It comes with a super salad. I decided to go with soup because today was chicken vegetable. And they're, oh, I know they're so good. It is truly my favorite.

It looked fantastic. It looked fantastic. Yeah, it's like truly homemade. They kind of do it like a puzzle where they put like a whole chicken in there. And it's just cabbage. It's beautiful. It's beautiful. Look good.

Is really. Yeah, I enjoyed the soup more than the actual spaghetti, which I'd never gotten before. And, you know, it was just really basic. It's really basic. Just meat sauce spaghetti. It didn't have much kick to it. Uh, jolly bees, I think is better. Wow.

Yeah. I didn't hate the spaghetti. I tried to bite of your spaghetti. Yeah. It reminds me kind of like of some of those like, you know, like we go to some of those diner places and like Chicago and Detroit and like some of, like you know, those Greek diners

that have spaghetti or whatever too. Yeah. Even like a steak and shake. Yeah. Like has like on their full menu, you know. Yeah. I don't think it was as good as some of those places where we've had spaghetti

like that app before. Yeah, it's not bad, but it is the kind of spaghetti where I was like, oh, I want to cover this in cheese. Sure. Yeah. It's like, I need to cover this in cheese. It's no chili johns up in the back. Have you been to chili johns?

Yes. And the chili johns is great. Yeah. The, we also got a, or I got a turkey burger, um, and with cheese, uh, we got a patty melt for the table and a hot dog for the table and mitch you got the pastrami sandwich. Let's start with that pastrami sandwich.

Yeah. Well, look, this is going to sound like some sort of euphemism, but I was choking on my pastrami wags. I mean that sincerely. Yeah. Sincerely. You did have that. I was, I've, I've like maybe never, like since I was a child, ever in my life been nervous

that I was choking. And this pastrami is like a little bit, it's longer and kind of slippery. I really loved the taste of it. I think that like there's a bad association with it just because I almost died. But I was chewing on it. And I was like, oh, this is like,

I just took like, you know, it's a big sandwich. I took a pretty big bite. But I was like, oh, I'm trying to swallow. And then it was just like not happening. And I was like, oh no, this is caught in between. I've been in this situation before, not surprisingly, where I was taking a big bite and then being able to swallow. And then I was like, and I was like, it's not going down.

It's not happening. And I was like, am I, and then like, then it was like a thing, where I never even felt it in my throat like that, where it was like, my throat was like, just like started to go crazy and was trying to get it down. And I stood up because I was like, I'm about to need the Heimlich maneuver.

This is crazy and then I kind of hit myself here and it went down. But Susser, you thought I was doing a pretend like a bitch. I just went, we're just like, all of that drama is having, we're just sitting there and I just see you stand up quickly, and I was like, I don't know this part of some bit. Like, is this?

You said that if it was called Rix is the place? Yes, Rix. If Rix had taken me out, and I was like, it would be a very, I mean, it would be fitting in that way. He's sad way to go, but, you know, doing what you love, Ian was drawing me. You know? But I did fully think you were just like doing

some bit act out, and I was just like, okay. First of all, I look, I'm a gesture of course, Wags. We've relegated ourselves to the world. But I've never in my life done like a big show off thing before. But I was like, oh my God, I think this, and I didn't, I didn't reach for it. I think I did sip some stuff, but it was just like, was the sort of choking that I had never experienced since I was a kid.

And it was nothing, it was just all sitting there. It was, it was like, my gag reflex was, it was like nothing was moving. No, I know the feeling. It was fucking horrible. And I would say this pastrami used to be my go-to, and I have had this happen to me eating it, because it's like, they're like thick long strips't, it was just so much of it unfolded.

Unfolding. And you have to make a choice of do I try to swallow this or do I like try to get it back out into my mouth and it's, it's like, I'm gonna have to swallow it. And I'm gonna have to swallow it. And I'm gonna have to swallow it. And I'm gonna have to swallow it.

And I'm gonna have to swallow it. And I'm gonna have to swallow it. And I'm gonna have to swallow it. And I'm gonna have to swallow it. And I'm gonna have to swallow it. And I'm gonna have to swallow it. And I'm gonna have to swallow it. And I'm gonna have to swallow it. And I'm gonna have to swallowing. And you like have to make a choice of do I try to swallow this

or do I like try to get it back out into my mouth and it's, I don't order the pastrami anymore. It's not my go-to anymore. My throat like hurts after it is crazy. I was genuinely terrified, choking on my pastrami, which maybe is some sort of thing, but. But it is a good pastrami. It is a good pastrami. It is a good pastrami.

It is good. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm glad the peril was worth it. I actually, and I mentioned this briefly in the restaurant, I had a choking incident with pastrami at Togo's. The, now I think the funk sandwich chain that we reviewed back in the day. And I actually, I was choking up pastrami

and my dad gave me the Heimlich maneuver. Like it was that degree of choking. Who would have given me the Heimlich maneuver here? I would have done it, I would have stepped up and done it. I'm so small, I just like, don't, I would have been like, try to use a chair. I have no upper body strength, I just don't think I could have made it happen.

So it would have been wise. I would have had you back out and done it. I feel like it would have turned into us just making love on the floor. Yeah. And you would have a really beautiful moment. Hey, you saved that guy's life. What the fuck are they doing? And I definitely think it's the kind of place where the people who work there would let you choke. Yes, very busy. They just have too much going on. Hey man, they're great, but they are turning over tables. They have just like a huge volume business.

They're turning over tables, making manate speech. Fucking triples going, yeah. I mean, it seems crazy to work there. And the drive-through is busy all the time. Yeah, but they were super nice to us and they were super accommodating and they were, did not baton-nighard our large order. I got sus, this is fork score, which we won't count towards them, but I'm not going to say it yet.

Sit on it for a second. But I want to hear what did you think of the patty melt and then I had I did have a bite of that heated dog, the hot dog, which came with they didn't ask us at all what what you want. They just fucking Peter North that thing with mustard and relish. And then they and perfect. Was it mustard? There was mustard. It was mustard and mustard and mustard and mustard and mustard. Mustard and rye, that's perfect. No ketchup. If they had been ketchup, I'd have been upset. Wow.

It's perfect. Yeah. We push back against that here. Yeah, I don't have, I don't put ketchup on my hot dogs but I defend people who do. Thank you. Okay, it will. But Mitch likes ketchup on his hot dogs.

That's wrong idea. I think it's fine. No, ketchup is for hamburgers. That's it. French fries? Wow. And French fries. But a hot dog, hot dog, that is, that's a mustard.

Look, I ate it as served and I enjoy it. Sometimes I like to put some, I like to go all the way with with my hot dogs, with ketchup, mustard. I don't like how ketchup and mustard taste together. Interesting. You wouldn't like ketchup stirred, which we had just recently on the show. We did like ketchup. We like ketchup stirred a lot. I do. stirred, which we had just recently on the show. We did like catch us.

We like catch us stirred a lot. I do. Yeah. Don't think it'd be for me. It's just. If you were raised, Justin didn't want it. Didn't even want to try it. And he had some news like you might like catch us. There might be some here. We can see if we can see. Okay. I will try it. But I yeah. I did. I don't like catch up at all. Thank you. And I like to like ketchup at all. Thank you. And I liked ketchup on the outside. Wow. Oh, whatever it's called.

I think you got it as close to it. It was pretty close. Okay, now I'm sold on this. Maybe now, maybe I'll start putting ketchup stirred on all my hot dogs. We like ketchup stirred. Pretty good. I could have used some ketchup stir,

I could have used anything to try to lube that out to get that. It'll lube the giant. It's a fatty pastrami down. Get it down my throat. I couldn't use anything to try to lube that out to get that. I had to use a fatty pastramid out. Get it down my throat. I liked the dog quite a bit. Yeah, it was a very solid dog. But you know what, my favorite bite might have been that patty malt.

Patty malt looked pretty nice. The patty malt was also my favorite. It was really good. Yeah. It was just like a classic. They used great rye bread, which I thought was like, like it was just like,

this is like real deal rye bread. Yeah, thought was like, it was just like, this is like real deal rye bread. Yeah, and not like the seedless kind, like the real seed rye bread, but not like with the big annoying seeds that get stuck in your teeth. It was like the perfect kind. I dipped mine in the ketchup. I did do that for the patty melt. Okay. Very tasty. I did as well. It also wasn't over stuffed. It was like kind of like the form factor of like, it had been through a panini press. It was like really, you know, because sometimes you get that patty mountain

it's a little unwieldy. This was nicely compressed. Yeah, like I even like cut a little slice out like a pizza slice and it was very easy to do. Yeah. I had, I got the turkey burger and I thought their turkey burger was just an excellent version that sort of classic sort of roadside burger,

you know, a big mound of shredded lettuce a bunch of just like that you know the burger dressing the kind of whatever they're variant of the of thousand island they're using tomatoes and and just like it was really well cooked it was juicy which turkey burgers oftentimes can be a little bit a little bit dry because they'd be cooked well loved how bunny it was I don't know I thought this was like this is just like a perfect like paper wrap burger. You know what I mean? How bunny was it?

I thought it was going to grab a carrot and say, what's up Doc? I was so bunny. I saw it get married to Jessica Rabbit. Okay. So bunny had a stopwatch and was like saying it was late and late. We're a very important day. I was so funny. It was on the cover of sports illustrated because I thought about like buns.

That also works. That also works. But then you went the bunny way. So I didn't. But no, I'm, I'm a biologist, just happened on that, because that's good. But yeah. That's real good.

And you know what, Lola Bunny could be on the cover sports illustrated too. Yes. But there you go. Yeah. There we go. I'll buy that issue. Right?

But I do think their burgers are very good there. I know, yeah, it was a great, I'm like, like, you know, like, again, just like they have a garden burger, not all these, not, the garden program, I imagine it was just like whatever patty they'd been using for like 20, 30 years. It wasn't particularly exciting to have it. But when I saw they had a turkey burger, which not all these places have, I was like, I was elated

and I was glad to get that as an option. Yeah. Can I tell you what's so sad? I said, he told me his forescore that I said, would you have given me the hymn like? And he said, no, I said, are you telling me his forescore? Then I said, would you have given me the Heimlich? And he said, no, I would have frozen. And then he said, and would have taken your spot

on Doe Boys, which I imagine is what you'd want. Which is, you know what? I'll say it right here, that is what I want. If I die, I want Sus to, I mean. Only during while trying a restaurant for the pod. Yes, yes, only in that context. To quote Norm McDonald's box office poison. When Sus comes on here, you're in trouble, Wags,

but I do want him to take over. And it would be good for me to just show how quickly the show fails. But in either of these scenarios, either the one where I give you the Heimlich and we fuck on the floor or where. I think Sus does is very so strong. Yeah, then he's very taken back.

Or the one where Susser freezes up, you die. We're watching you zipped into a body bag. I still like to think in either of those scenarios, we just go straight to the studio and record this episode. I'm still driving straight here. And we're just like, wow. I'm here with Susser, which died. That was a lot.

The tense. I feel like you would be the guy who would, you would have been the one to do that. That would have been like, you would have done it. I would do that. I would trust you to do the Heimlich. My hero. You feel like, yeah, very responsible looking person. Yeah.

I just want to be clear here. Did I die in the restaurant? Am I now like some sort of figure, ghost figure? Possibly. Or this is your purgatory. You just get to record dope boys rest of your life. God damn it. That sucks. Have I been able to not say is the rich drive in and drive out and they can do a lot worse here.

Can I now only say what was the around the twist ghost thing? Um, let's sit on it. Let's on the, like we also got, you know, you and I got orange bangs. I love orange bang. I don't know how widely available was nationwide, but when I see a place it does, it's a great drink. Um, and, uh, Ashley got a root beer. Yeah. And then we got a, uh, we got a boys and berry pie all the mode.

Yeah. I thought that pie was delightful. Delight that it was so good. It was good. It thought that pie was delightful. The light that was so good. The crust was amazing. And a lot of times with plays like that, you have the worry is it going to be too dry. No, this was just perfect crust, little flaky, and then the ice cream. Oh my gosh. It was like from a magazine picture. It was this scoop. It was a huge little scoop. Beautiful ice cream. And it looks, it looks, you're right. It looks like ice cream weekly or something. Yeah.

Which we, we would subscribe to if it didn't exist. I mean, did I would? And it made me curious about their banana split. Yeah, because there were some, look, this is the thing. I'm gonna say this, I think it looks better than I've had better vanilla ice cream. I thought it was good. I didn't think it was like, do you think it was great?

I think it was probably like Cisco vanilla ice cream. I think it was like a better than an action, but then it was good. I didn't think it was like, do you think it was great? I think it was probably like Cisco vanilla ice cream. I think it was like the better than it actually. But then it actually tasted. But that gave you a lot. But they gave you a lot. I didn't think it was bad. I thought it was good. I like a vanilla bean vanilla.

Yeah, I like it too. A real vanilla. I wasn't that, but it was fine. Yeah, it was good. I am, I wonder about that banana split, too, which we had talked about. Yeah, we almost got, and then it was just like, that's this is too much food.

Yeah, there was a set, we didn't get, we didn't touch on some of the menu, and we didn't really dig idly, and we didn't touch on the Mexican food of the menu all that much, and we didn't get into the desserts all that much outside of this one slice of pie. But I did think the pie was delightful. I was surprised by how fresh it was, and it was...

When they forgot the pie, so I said, we've got to get that pie. Yeah, we've got to get that pie. And that is an old reference to a birthday boy sketch from back in the day. A flawed birthday boy sketch. Oh, oh, man, you gotta say something. Who's the stage show?

It never even got in the, Oh, I mean, then, okay, it's great. Who is filmed for the pilot and then we never did it at all. So wait, really? I think so, yeah. Yeah, if we can't go watch it somewhere, then I think it's fine.

Okay, great. Which it's the sketch that people thought, they were like, is this like a Christian sketch group? People thought you guys were like warm in sketch or warm in sketch. You got that pie. I was like, what the sketch is about? It was like totally wholesome.

They do kill me as an old lady. That's true, that did happen. I'm the old lady in the sketch. I come out. Okay. So offer them pie and then they kill me. Alright, go ahead. So I mean, like I think that's everything. I think we touched on all of our everything we had there. And the tostada. And the tostada, which I didn't try. But it's something really sure. Yeah, sure. He finished it very quickly and it looks very neat. He just like a complicated dish. Yeah, it was complicated. It was a bad choice. Yeah looks very... Me just like a complicated dish.

It was, yeah. It was complicated. It was a bad choice. Yeah, it was always just like a pile of lettuce. And yeah, I don't even know if he got like a meat on it. I know there was no meat on it. I did have one bite of it and it was actually decent. It was there at beans, like a tostada thing on the bottom.

What is it? A tostada crisp. Yeah, yeah. Toast tostada thing on the bottom. What is it to start a crisp? Like the crispy tortilla. Yeah, just tostada. Yeah, crunchy tortilla, the beans, lettuce, cheese. And he didn't even really put salsa on it. I thought why it was too much. Yeah, I was very kind of a plain thing. And but he seemed to enjoy himself with it.

So I didn't question it. It doesn't. I have had their burritos are really good. It's the thing I love about rix is it's one of those places where you walk in and you're like, there's no way a place can do all these things. Yes. Like you go in and you're like,

really you have spaghetti, a chicken dinner, a steak dinner, tacos, burgers, all of hot dogs, and I'm supposed to believe you can, and pastrami and you can do all of this, and then they can. Yeah, yeah. They really can. They kinda can.

They kinda can. They can. can. They kind of can. They can. But what does that mean for our Forkscore? We'll find out right after this. Ooh. Ooh. I think we both had those times when we weren't sure where our lives were going, what to do? Who to talk to? How to get through it?

True. But you know what? Sometimes in life, we're faced with tough choices and the path forward isn't always clear. This way, that way? Oh, wait, the path is right in front of me, but I needed someone's help to show me the way. That's right, Wags.

So here's what we'll do We'll let you go around we'll give our closing argument argument, if you will. A final assessment on this chain,

based on all of our experiences, and then end that by giving a score from zero to five forks. Your guest will begin with you. I'm gonna go four forks. Four forks. Four forks. I think that Rix is a quintessential L.A. fast food place. Just as I love, like, what a burger and beef ar roof for being very of you know their region and where they're from

I feel like ricks is very much of the like LA Southern California fast food vibe. Yes where it's like it's half-diner half-drive through You know you walk in and you're like what do you mean you have tacos and pastrami sandwiches and they do it all really well You know I feel like it's also just wonderful because it's not super expensive, which in LA is huge for me as a poor person here. So I just, I think it's outside of the place, they have on their side rated L.A.'s number one fast food, and I don't know who rated it, but.

Or what year, what year? Or the criteria, but I agree. Yeah, but. Or what year, or what year? Or the criteria, but I agree. Yeah, wow. Four forks, very good score. Mitch, I'm gonna go. And because my thoughts parallel ash least. Okay. And I want you to close this out,

because I am from Southern California. I'm very familiar with this type of restaurant. There's a lot of them. A lot of them are named like Tommy's or Tom's or Thomas's. Like they're all like, you know, they out the lot of them have the same sort of names, the same sort of menus. Oftentimes in addition to pastrami and tacos and burgers, they'll also have teriyaki. That's a common one you'll see crop up.

But Rick's I think is like a great just like just like the perfect version of one of these restaurants. It's just like the, it just hits everything. It's the, it's the, or example of the, of this sort of diner slash, still ash fast food place hybrid that is so ubiquitous in the city and the South land at large. I really enjoyed our meal today. I thought, for the most part, the stuff was hit and I think the stuff that was really hit and was genuinely great.

And I think it's really charming. They have a lot of like, you know, LA memorabilia inside, a lot of Dodger stuff, Laker stuff, King stuff, a lot of stuff that is just sort of like, this is anchored in the city. This is a part of the city. Again, it's a big favorite of the working class here.

I think this is, this absolutely is a four fork restaurant. I think this is the kind of place that where Richard Nixon might stand and have himself burger and fries and a shake and hold up to V for victory symbols. Yes. And he'd shake hands with a worker. And pretend to not be racist. That's right. Yeah.

Can I throw one more thing? Yeah, please. I also just want to say love the ample parking. They have it, Rick. So much parker. So much parker. So much parker. So much parker.

So much parker. So much parker. Especially at fast food places. They have a whole separate area to park, and I live walking distance, but I still just love. But they really make it easy to sit there park, come on inside if you wanna enjoy the diner experience. Yes, great. From an urban design standpoint, for me,

I want like bicable and walkable infrastructure, I want things to be connected by rail, but I do understand that this is a car culture, this is a car city, and the throw I want like, bikeable and walkable infrastructure. I want things to be connected by rail. But I do understand that this is a car culture, this is a car city. And the throwback of like, you know what, there was a time when service parking lots as inefficient as they are, are just like, you have that big old lot,

you can park your big old boat car there, and you go in there and have a patty melt. It's like, it's like, if I could have Rick stop on the subway for God's sake. I would love Rick stop on the subway. That'd be awesome. Why not? It sounds great. You get all you get to the subway for God's sake. I love a Rick stop on the subway. The awesome way. Why not? It sounds great.

You get all you get to get it. It's perfect. All right, that's fair. I think that's a big sense. That's great. A big sense. Comes down to me, eh? It falls to me.

Look, I will say that I do take some points off for almost dying on the pastrami sandwich. Just a couple. Not a ton of time. Look how easy I'm let that hold it up again. So we can just sit and find it. Didn't bother me. Didn't bother me.

It's a fun, user error, I say. It was delicious. It was delicious. Yeah, all right. Careful now. I have the power here. I've driven by this place a lot, and I've always been interested on the, I go to the Elysian theater.

Why perform with the Elysian theater occasionally wise? I see it. I see it on the way to the Elysian theater, why perform with the Elysian theater occasionally wise? I see it on the way to the Elysian theater. I am always interested by it because it seems like one of those like, pastrami, it does seem like one of those L.A. pastrami spots, like you were talking about. It looks fascinating, it looks like people love it. And it is a Guy Fieri half-chub.

It's half-dying or half-driving and half-dive. Basically, it is, it kinda hits half of all of that. It hits half of all of that. Wow. It's the Triforce. It's the Triforce. It's kinda all of them. You got Fieri half excited.

Yeah. I mean, I think you'd be full excited to check it out. Full, yeah. Yeah. But it does, it has elements all of that. It does have like a really big Dodgers feel because it's not far from Dodgers stadium, a lesion park area. It looks historically significant, even though I'm not even sure if it is. But I really, really, really enjoyed it. It's, and I think that I thought the food was great.

And also, to have a place where you can get like the hey, I'm coming back from the Legion, maybe it's 1145. I can go through. I can get a yeah, I can get a a playlist spaghetti and the drive through. I can get a patty melt or I can get a astronomy sandwich choke all the way home. Yeah, this is this is literally been me after show at the Legion, go in there at like 11.45, get a marido. Great. It's cool, it's near where like some of a pulp fiction was filmed, there's a lot of cool stuff in this area.

I like this area kind of a little drag by the five highway that's like kind of shitty and kind of great. I guess that's the best way to do it. There's a great stuff there. And then there's also can be a little, you know, it can be, but I love it. I loved it. Three and three four, three and three quarters forks, three and three, three, three and three quarters forks. Wow. Was Susser's score. My score is four fours. Sustor said three and three quarters.

Four. Three and three quarters forks, but his scour, her score doesn't count. Wags. Wow. He is not on this episode. My score is four. Wow.

It's in the golden plates. Wow. Wow. I'm so happy. I'm so happy we could get ricks there. Commissioner Sustor is going on my enemies list. And I do think that's a little on him because who gets a tostada anyway. It was his fault.

This is a Sussler's fault. I don't understand. Who gets a tostada? Yeah. It's a complicated thing to even eat. Get the burrito, get the tacos. Get the taco. Don't try to be fancy with it.

Damn, three and three quarters. This is his response to what's your fourth score. I want to say four, but I just can't get there. Wow. Interesting, because I got there. Yeah. For sure did, man. And you almost choked.

Wow, I did almost choked. I mean, I liked the Pastrami sandwich. It was a big, soppin' wet Pastrami sandwich, but I did enjoy it. It looked really good. It was like, like, over stuff. Oh, it was over stuff. It was over stuff.

Like I said, you should remember it was cool. I remember it was all user error. Oh, it's over stuff. Like I said, you used to remember it was cool. I remember it was all user error. I've never showed ever. I mean, I've also choked on the same and push around. I'm the same place. And maybe an issue with the sandwich a little bit.

It is that the meat is cut so thick that like, I can't finish it in one bite. I always get the other half to go, but it is just like, it's so big. The meat slice, you're gonna choke, but like, I'm still gonna say that's a meat thing. Like I still don't hold that against my face. Just careful.

Our listeners be careful. If you get that pastrami, be careful. Really to be sure of your bite. Yeah, we don't want any doughboys, listeners getting injured trying to replicate what we did. Be careful if you go to Rick's drive in and out and enjoy that ample- We're professionals.

We're professionals, we know we're good. And even though two of us would have completely frozen if you actually started choking, one person would have saved you. Oh God, if I wax, God, I would owe my life, that would suck. Anyways, golden play club, wax, rickshaw. You only have life debt, buddy. Man, I was thinking.

Golden play club. Yeah, I mean, I think for that patty mount in the hot dog, gets it in there and the turkey burger. The turkey burger was really good. It's great to know that there's a turkey, a place where I can go get a great turkey burger. Oh, I don't know what to say. And like when I would get it,

I don't like let us into my burgers. I don't know why, not a big fan of it, but I always just would do Swiss cheese, the turkey burger, mustard, pickle. Always loved it. Wow. It's a cool last spot. It burger, mustard, pickle. Always loved it. Wow. It's a cool last spot. It's great.

Congratulations to Rick's drive in and out. Put spaghetti is back on the marquee outside of the Golden Plate Club. Because you're our newest member. Yeah, and that's way more fun than what they do now. Because now it's just a lot of like RIPs to old people who work there who die. I know.

Yeah, like every other day, it's just like RIP to best. She was a real one on the fryer. Yeah, man. I believe that too being there. Yes. That makes sense. Kind of a bummer. So let's go with spaghetti is bad.

I don't know that up there. It's up back at the time. People loved it. I was laughing earlier when you said that, Andy's man, Christmas time at my grandparents house, like you, I could just picture you, go into your grandparents house and they'll be like,'s broadcast. You're like I get an Andy's Man, you know what I do want another orange bang

I don't know what this is. So when you both got that, I was like, is it just like orange soda? It's kind of like an orange soda with a little frothy. It's kind of like a fountain orange Julius. If you can picture that. Yeah. Yeah.

I think it's a Mexican drink. I think it's like it will be on the same fountain that we'll have like a homeica, you know, or an orchata. It's like a light orange soda. Someone dropped a load in it basically. Am I wrong? It's what Peter North is up to in retirement.

Yeah, it is. We're going to the Orn Bain Company. Hey, it's time for a segment. I think Mitch, it's time for a segment. It is time for a segment. Okay, here we go. Peter North must be wiped out. He's got that Mola Bunny Sports Illust out. He's got that mullabunny sports

illustrator. He's a funny ammunition. We got a bunch of chips and we're going to eat them all. It's another edition of Chips in Hale. Rest two Rangers. There's no bag too big. No bag too small. When you've got chips just call ch ch ch ch Chips in Hale. Rest two Rangers. Ch ch ch ch chips in-chips in hail. Rest you ranger, chitch-chitch-chips in hail. Every flavor, you know it never fails once we're in full. Somehow these chips will eat them all. OK, so Mitch, this past Tuesday, we released a Patreon episode. I don't back on the street, actually.

Shouldn't be singing the chip-and-dale theme song. With Elena Johnston entitled, chips can we trust them? As part of the segment, you were supposed to bring chips and you forgot the chips, but... I fucked up. When God closed the door, he opens a window

and we were able to have them today as our segment. So we're gonna have the chips we're supposed to have on Tuesday. And when he said no bag too big, no bag too small, that is correct with these Lays BLT sandwiches. Wow. But incorrect with these Lays stack cheddar. Wow, Lays stack cheddar. We got some, we got a non bag chip here too.

The Lays answer to Pringles basically. And I'm not sure how Lays stacks are normally, but the, the, the, the, I don't. Shake weight. It is a kind of like a shake weight. I shouldn't do that. that'll break up the chips um but I don't environment less environmentally friendly it seems like than the Pringles case right plastic giant plastic yeah that's a bomb that's made like it's stuck in an animal in the ocean

yeah yeah it's a two on so I don't know what that is probably not good what would you like to turn that into a flashlight. There you go. That's recycling. Jesus. Peter North's flashlight. This thing's fucking huge. What do you want it? Should we start with the stacks?

Let's start with the stacks and then we'll do the lays. Okay, here we go. Stacks, we got some little tin foil shit on here on top. Here we go. Now actually last time you and I were in the studio together here at Edgum, it was for Gaboruses 420 Special. So I understand that you are someone who likes the kind kind.

Do you, are you a munchies person? I'm very much a munchies person. And do you go, save your suite? What direction do you go? Savory. All about the savory. I will sometimes do, I have a real bad thing for twizzlers and fruit by the foot.

Okay. So like if I do go sweetlers and fruit by the foot. Okay. So like if I do go sweet, it's absolutely horrible candy. Wow. But usually I'm savory, I'm doing like beef jerky, I'm doing chips. So. All right, so what are, it's talking chips. What are your favorites?

What are your go-to? I'm a classic. I love the classic lays. If I am getting a little out there, I do the like lemon-emon, E. Chile, Lays, love those. And then Dorito-wise, obviously big Dorito girl. I think most people would say that's the most popular chip. And I like the sweet and spicy ones.

Ooh, all right. I'm a cool ranch till I die. So, I think- Yeah, a cool ranch I think is default number one. The best. But that sweet and spicy, it just like, it came in and changed my life. And then it's just like, it's only in some stores.

It's not always on the market. Yes. Here's what's not life changing, these chips. Well, one side of these, look, these things are blasted on one side. Yeah. And then the other side, nothing, nothing. Like Mel Gibson and Man Without A Face.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It tastes like, it's blasted, the rest is normal. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It tastes like a bad Pringle. Yeah, it's, I maybe like the texture, I maybe like the texture around the same as a Pringle, but the flavoring, the powder is like not well distributed and I just like, I just don't say it. say it, these are like, they're pretty bad, it's a bummer.

He's kinda like a stale chip. Cause I like lays, I like just like a straight up lays. Lay's Salt and Vinegar are one of my favorite chips. Oh yeah. I love Lay's Salt and Vinegar. Those are good. Well, I'll say this. Yeah, we had the, was it the Cubano sandwich?

The Cuban sandwich? Yes, Cuban sandwich one. Yeah, those guys were fucking good so we're gonna wait the pastrami one I don't know if we did have the bestrami one they did a pastrami one it was a special chip that came out like two years ago okay I'd probably choke on it so it's gonna be a habit here's a BLT

sandwich I don't know I don't know how I feel about this I mean it's pretty close to, you know, it's probably not that far off from From the other the the Cuban sandwich compound flavors are always tricky. Yeah, cuz what are you getting in here? Yeah, you're getting lettuce tomato and bacon. I imagine it'll be a little lettucey cuz these tend to be these tend to go heavy on the veggies, but we'll see have a on the veggies, but we'll see. But the Cuban one was really leaning on the pickle, which we talked about on Tuesday's episode. These are wild. This is wild.

These are, all right. So these are, it's crazy that the Cuban sandwich pulled us off because those to me don't, didn't taste as chemically. These do taste like scientifically. This is like in a lab. This, they made this flavor in a lab. But it's a little mayo-y, it's a little tomato-y, it's a little bacon-y.

I don't taste this really. I gotta taste this again. I'm not tasting any lettuce. I'm not getting any lettuce. Very bacon-heavy. It tastes more like a hickory, smoky bacon flavor. I think if I blind tasted these, It tastes a lot like a hickory, smoky bacon flavor. I think if I blind taste tested these, I would be like, oh, they're trying to do like a smoky bacon.

That's the flavor they're trying to do. Yeah. I'm sure how I feel about these. They're not bad. I gotta tell you, I'm not bad. I think I got two acts on these. I, the Cuban sandwich was so much better. I was doing us a favor by forgetting these. I think the Cuban two acts on these. I, I, I, I, the Cuban sandwich was so much better. I was doing us a favor by forgetting these.

I think the Cuban sandwich was better. That's how much it was definitely better. Yeah, I've had the Cuban one. I like that more than this. It's interesting because the first bite tastes dead on like a BLT and then the more you chew, the more it's just bacon. Yes, 100%.

Bacon and, to, bacon and tomato to me are the two big flavors. Yeah, a lot of tomato. Kind of science, I mean, you mentioned it's sciencey, a little sciencey, not too much of an aftertaste, maybe a slight afterburn. Yeah. Very mild. I don't know, I think these are also lack.

I don't think I like them. Yeah. Which I want to do, I'm rooting for them. Yeah, I love a wild chip flavor and I love a BLT. I love a BLT. I love a BLT. I think it's like the Doe Boys host going home after a long day of recording. Two wax. Question.

Would you put these chips on a BLT sandwich? That's an interesting one. Now you're talking. Yeah. Now I get why you were on Gapers' 420. I don't know. I think you. I think that if you put those on a BLT sandwich, that's fun.

It gives a little different texture to the BLT sandwich, that's fun. It gives a little different texture to the BLT sandwich itself. Yeah, you're having a blast together. I even want to mess with the classic of a BLT. I don't know. I like, here's a take I got. I like the BLT, but I like a, a black or chicken black,

even more bacon lettuce avocado tomato and dad chicken in there. I know I sound like Barry from Sandwiches of History, but I would plus it up with chicken and avocado, the BLT. Now this just sounds like a chicken sandwich with avocado and bacon on it. Yeah, you get George's club so much there, George. That is true.

It's true. I like a BLT, but a BLT almost tastes to me like, to borrow from Barry again, kind of is almost near a tea sandwich to me. Where I'm like, the bacon itself is like, it's like lettuce tomato mayo, and then that the bacon isn't enough for me. You know what I'm saying?

I need a little something else. My favorite BLT is from this place called Modern Eats in LA, and they do what they call the Wild BLT, or they put goat cheese, and they use a jalapeno bread. Okay. So that's- That seems like a plus. It seems plused up in many ways. I used to, I don't really pour anymore, but there was a time when I would thought the BLT

was the ultimate sandwich. I really do like a well-executed BLT. You got to eat the ratios right? You can have not enough bacon, you can have too much bacon, a lot of time. Most of the time it's like too much tomato. That's usually the perfect big edge. Yeah, too much tomato's always a problem.

They go out of control with, but when you get, when everything is in that golden ratio, it's like that sandwich is great. And I do agree on avocado, but I think once you start putting a different protein on there, it's just a different sandwich. Yeah, you're mixing it up too much. Yeah, go. All right, that's fair. But these are a bummer. These lays BLT chips are a bummer. Even compared to, you know, the Portuguese humone chips we had. Yeah, way better. Much better. Smoked meat chips way more. Yeah,

that's a bummer. Well, sorry, sorry everyone. You know where there would be a much better BLT tasting BLT? Rix, I'd rather have a Rix, huh? I'd rather have an amazing BLT. They do a BLT, I can't say anything. They probably do, they have breakfast, which we didn't even, like look at the breakfast menu, but they do a whole pancake and like Taco Mexican breakfast deal,

but I would imagine you could probably get them to throw a BLT together. Great diner vibe in there. I got there a little early and the dude who was like, he was, he was whatever, I got there a little early. And I was sitting there by myself in a booth and this dude comes over like where, you know, he's like got like a security vest on

and he's got a, you were sitting there by yourself and a booth a security guard came in. No vest on and he's got a... You were sitting there by yourself and a booth that's a security guard came in. No, no, he's not here. No, he was just a guy who was on his lunch break who was eating there, but he just like had his meal. He's like, hey, can I sit with you? Because it was like all the booths were taken and I was like,

sure man, he just sat across from me and started eating. And I was like, I love this energy. I love this. He's probably talking to the people and I was like, I'll sit with this guy all through lunch, so he doesn't pull the chair. Yeah, I'm sure nothing happens here. I got this. He's probably talking to the people. I'll sit with this guy all through lunch, so he doesn't pull the eager. I'm sure nothing happens here. I got this.

Just like your restaurant, your feedback. Let's open up to the feed day. When Eastwood's gonna write a movie about it. We have a voicemail today. Wow, voicemail. We get a voicemail. Feedback. Hi, Doh Crew.

This is Taylor calling from Seattle, North Carolina. And maybe this question has been asked before, but I'm wondering if you had to introduce Aliens to the cuisine of Earth, have, especially I guess here in America. Huge fan of the show, I just started listening a few weeks ago and I've listened to like a problematic amount. Wow, thanks Taylor. Thanks for- We're sorry. Yeah, sorry, sorry, a new list in there. We have to introduce Ellen's the Queen B of Earth, what was it? It's a cuisine.

The cuisine of Earth. Yes, what would it be? Look, my sister's nickname was the queen bee. She had a boat, a Turner boat, called the queen bee. Wow. They had a big bee on the sale. My dad made it by hand. Yeah.

And so you thought she wanted the aliens to be introduced to your sister? This boat? No, it's not. The boat. I just, I was like, the queen bee. I didn't, it didn't, it was confusing to me. I couldn't hear.

It was cuisine. That makes sense. The queen bee of Earth is obvious. It's Beyonce. Yeah. All right, so for introducing aliens to Beyonce, where are we taking them out? Well, first of all, we'd have to take them out to Kualaican Beyonce's date spot. That's right. We're sure happened. Yes. Kuala, we're sure happened. Kuala, you're telling the truth when you said that you had a high school date with Beyonce at Coldstone cream. We believe you You went to high school with her so you know, cold steam stone creamery from like 2007. Yeah, this is a while Yeah, look there's a lot of things. I don't

Absolutely I was in high school which was like way after Beyonce was in high school, which was like way after Beyonce was. Yeah. Choalek went with Beyonce to a cold stone class. Yeah, he made a date. Yeah. It wasn't just a big group of people and maybe Beyonce was just there and he saw Beyonce. No, he was on a date with Beyonce, supposedly.

Anyway, that's what he claims and he's our friend and we believe in. Oh, okay, yeah. We're going to like real stupid when she has like a ballad that's like, K-Wall, my love. It comes out a couple years. Love that love. Okay, yeah. We're gonna like real stupid when she has like a ballad that's like K wall my love. I'm not a couple years. I love it. Yeah, I'm down. Cool stuff. Your heart is cold as cold stone.

Pretty marine. The fuck? I would not take it. Sorry, baby. Cool stone. Yeah, cold stone is a bad choice Rayland. I would confuse that. That's horrible.

Yeah. Horrible choice. Bad choice for Beyonce too with, I mean. Yeah, why do you take her to a cold stone? I mean, it didn't happen. I mean, it did happen. It did happen. For sure happened.

It happened. It happened. I think it was like an after school date and I think it was one of those things where it's like kind of like, maybe he thought it was more of a date and she thought it was more like we're going to hang out. That's my suspicion.

Okay. Sure. Anyway, so here's, they were teenagers, I believe, that sort of thing could happen. I mean, I know this happened. I know it was real. Yeah. And it's funny, I'm just like, sorry, baby.

Didn't work out for us, bam. It kind of sounds like Dennis Miller. So I want to reference our friend, Jess McKenna, who Mitch had this concept as the governing principle of the very first term of champions, with Burger Brawl, which was what is the burger that we would use as like, hey, this is, if we're introducing to alien life forms coming to Earth, this is what we call a hamburger.

Like, have this, what is the best example of that? So this exercise is more applying to a chain at large. I mean, McDonald's is my answer. Hang. Mm. In and out one, the tournament. are applying to a chain at large. I mean, McDonald's is my answer. I'm thinking, in and out one, the tournament, I think the, I'm trying to think of what the best example. I'm trying to think of what the best example. I'm trying to think of what the best example.

Be for Rue, is that what it's called? Yeah, yeah. A beef for Rue, bro. I mean, I was gonna say beef for Rue is my overall answer if we are introducing these aliens to American cuisine. Sure, yeah. I think it's very specific to the Midwest. Like, there is a weird sort of Swedish influence to the BeForU menu because so many Swedish people

live in that area. So I think that would be cultural for them. Educational, you know, pork tenderloin. Right. I think they'd enjoy that. And I think they'd get a little Andy's chocolate minute at the end. Who doesn't want that? Oh, there you go.

Look, I'm not saying this for points. I am saying this just because our experience there was such a top tier experience. But if you brought an alien to Culver's, and there was a guy, Culver's is amazing. And there's burgers and ice cream. It's very clean and friendly. And I'm not just trying to win all of you Midwesterns over. So you love this food man. You just want me over.

I think actually Culver's is the burger I would show. Those butter burgers like, man. You just want me over. Anyway, I think actually Culver's is the burger I would show those butter burgers, like yeah. Fucking good. Culver's is a great. Culver's is one of those things that they told us to do over and over again, and we wanted to be mean to it even.

No. And then it was so good that we just were like, it's good. You guys were right, it's good. You got the cheese curds? Yeah, those curds are good. They're so good. I mean, like, here's my real answer.

I mean, McDonald's is it, but like culverts and in an out burger wags, I'll give you props. Like, you're gonna get the good experience there, but I know so so on in an out burger I get it. I'm from the Midwest and an out burger doesn't impress me and they have horrible fries. Fries are not great. Yeah, I look, I understand the fries are polarizing.

I happen to like the fries, but I have no issue with people saying they don't like the fries. But also, I look, I understand the fries are polarizing. I happen to like the fries, but I have no issue with people saying they don't like the fries. But also, I grew up here, so I have my own biases. I'm going to say, I think there's something to... You're a representative, the aliens are like, God, humans are fucking strange. I'm wiger.

I saved Mitch's life. Then we made love on the floor. I know, but I'm like maneuvering. Thinking of all of earth, I think you kind of have to be like, okay, what's something that's, you know, that maybe encompasses all of the cuisines of the world. I know my real answer.

And you know my real answer. What's your real answer? I would take him to Regina Pizzeria in the north of that. Yeah, but that's like your favorite. So you're saying, like, here's my favorite. And I'm probably gonna get any real answer. What's your real answer? I would take him to Regina Pizzeria in the North Island. Yeah, but that's like your favorite. So you're saying like, here's my favorite. And I'm part of everyone's favorite. If you think it's because that doesn't, what does that tell them about humans as a whole?

Yes. So I kind of think of like, if I think of fast food chains, you referenced Jolly B earlier. I think Jolly B is a pretty good, like, hey, we got a bunch of different things. You can try a bunch of stuff here. But also Jolly B is so different from everything.

It's unique. It is unique, but it's also like. That's the beauty of our world. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's like, represents is like, hey, this is kind of this nexus of like all these different cuisines converging in one culture's interpretation of them. But.

Hey, little gray man, we're unique. And if you don't like it, get the hell out of here. Get out of here. Get out of here. Take your spaceship fly out of ghost. Oh, somewhere out. Yeah, go to Uranus. Yeah. Oh.

Yeah, how the burgers there. Delicious. Oh, no. Oh, that's a big game. My other answer though is I think just, you know, sprawling menu and you can wow them with pizzazz. Rick's. And you know what, you can have, you can sit down there and you have a nice meal.

If you're sitting down with the ambassador from GlorGlacks and you want to like just say like, the ambassador of GlorGlacks is there. All this changes everything. And you know what I'm talking, Michelin Starrest. It's kind of a state dinner sort of thing. It's a little bit more of a formal affair and you want to like, hey, you know what?

This menu has something from all of Earth. The fucking cheesecake factory. Oh. Flip through that menu, grab whatever you want. The first place where we met. Yeah. And yet, and hey, and this is where doughboys was founded too. So that's another reason this is a land.

Is that count as fast food? Cause I mean, I think of that more as like a sit down. Well, chain restaurants was the question. And we do and it doesn't compass our, you know, what we cover on the podcast. So I think it's okay. Yeah. A steak dinner is pretty good when you said steak dinner.

You can get a steak. Yeah, you can get your planet. We call this beef a runny. Wait a minute. Are these just Australians? So you just go up to dinner with some fucking Australians? Let me take a look at that UFO. It's a boomerang for Christ's sake.

Okay, do you think, yeah, I think that's the perfect answer, I think. They have everything. Yeah, you have everything that you see. Senator Gorglack, we'll be looking at Auckland. It's the Senator in Auckland. Gorglacks. Which is a New Zealand, but close enough. Fuck, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. God. You go Melbourne, Perth. God, I fucked up so bad. Auckland, New Zealand. It's, yeah. I fuck up sometimes. You're doing great.

You do, you do, you do great. And that's a perfect answer, because not only do they have normal food, a cheesecake factory, but you can be like, this is a Caesar salad spring roll. Exactly. What is that?

We don't know. We don't know. They made it up here. We just make things up. That's part of the beauty of earth. We just make shit up. We make shit up. That's, yeah.

If you don't like it, take your boomerang, go back to Australia or New up. That's yeah. If you don't like it, take your boomerang, go back to Australia or New Zealand. Go, yeah. But I like those answers. I mean, it's hard to narrow it down to one. That's the challenge of the answer to this. Yeah.

To me, I think it is like a thing. It's like either something that's like universal, which is kind of to me is pizza. It's like pizza and burgers are kind of like. I don't know. I think pizza, that's really divisive. Cause then you get people who, cause like personally, I would want to introduce them to like a Chicago style tavern pizza

which is a fruit Chicago style pizza. Then the schoolyan style pizza, there's like a million different. There's like a different slice. What do you do? Do you give them deep dish? Do you even introduce that to their world? There's also a lot of portion of earth

that doesn't really dairy at all. Like, cheese is just don't have that. What is it we're running into? The unique part of this exercise. But that's the thing where I was just like, I always feel like pizza, but like something like fried chicken, like every culture seems to have their take on fried chicken.

So like if you went to like a, you know, KFC isn't the best example, but like a Popeyes or a- I take them the heralds. Heralds, there you go. Yeah. Heralds would be a hoot. You know what? I take him the heralds. Heralds, there you go. Yeah. Heralds would be a hoot. You know what?

I take him to my mom's house. Aw. And I have mother make a big, her baked haddock dinner for everybody. Aw. Michael, Glorglax is a new stepdad. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that.

I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that.

I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that.

I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that. North Carolina, Pete Pablo was from there. He said to take your shirt off and twist it around your head like a helicopter. He lived and he lived in Oakwoods. When I was at Oakwoods, Pete Pablo was at Oakwood, living at Oakwoods, which was like the celebrity that was there. Because so many people moved to Oakwoods and that's like a starting spot for people.

For early celebs. But Pete Pablo was one of them. Yeah, I think the South has some of the best food.. A favor has some, I think I really like their barbecue. If I'm remembering correctly, I think I like their barbecue there. Oh. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of like, what is it, Nashville style barbecue or something? That's, you know what, now I ain't like-

Everyone puts like a lot of vinegar in it. I don't like that. Wow. And I am kind of like, maybe fried chicken you're right. That's like Southern cooking everywhere in the world. I don't know Yeah, I thought was pretty universal too, but you're right. I don't know. It's too many kinds of pizza Detroit style Yeah, what are you doing? But that's the fun that you can say to aliens like totally shit This is like or the Australians. I don't know which which which where we're at that?

I'm not sure probably not Probably not I thought Auckland was, so I have no idea. You have a question or comment about the world of chain restaurant, cheeky emails that don't waste podcasts of Gmail or Comber. Leave us a voice mail, 830 go to the day, 3046, 368, 444.

I even like, you know, pool time. I was like, I mean, I got over it, but. Yeah, shirts versus skins was always hard. Yeah, personally, I just don't like songs that try to tell me what to do. I agree. I don't necessarily like a man in my song. So I'm already not going to do what you say. Well, this is songs I hate to relax.
