He weighed 119 pounds, and 19 of those pounds were cack. Countless versions of this quote have been documented, said by screen legend Ava Gardner in reference to her third husband, the anatomically blessed Frank Sinatra. Born in 1915 in Hoboken, New Jersey, with effectively two umbilical cords. By the 1930s, Sinatra was regularly delighting nightclub crowds with his massive hog. During World War II, this diminutive pipe swinger whipped his built-in jump rope to the top of the charts, as screaming Bobby Soxer women and hooting U.S. troops turned out by the thousands to get a glimpse of his jaw-dropping and throat-widening donger.

Nicknamed the chairman of the board, old blue eyes, and the cervix destroyer. In the late 1940s, Sinatra teamed up with fellow hogsman Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lofford, and Joey Bishop, to form the original supergroup, the Rat Pack, named for the front-facing rat tails packed by these huge dick circus tricks. These five fuck machines collaborated on tour. Vegas reviews and films, including the original Oceans 11, a film based on the length of Sinatra's hog. And it's during the heyday of the rat pack that you'd find Sinatra at the oldest restaurant in Hollywood, handlessly touching the water in the men's room toilet.

Sinatra was one of countless showbiz regulars who frequented the legendary steakhouse, where he'd hold court for hours, regaling celebrities like Marlon Brando and Orson Wells with glimpses of his big hog. Unfortunately for Sinatra, his peak in the 40s and 50s gave way to the 60s and 70s, when rock and roll introduced audiences to edgier, more innovative hogs. By the glam era of the 1980s, Americans were more interested in frizzy pubs than giant peens. But then, in 1993, just a few years before his death, Sinatra released his comeback hit entitled Duets, which explored a new aspect of his hog, his balls.

It proved a fitting capstone for his ability to evolve as a meat, Marvel for six underwear stretching decades. Sinatra died in 1998 at the age of 82, and his remains were preserved in two urns, one for his body and one for his big hog. But still today, 25 years after his death, this legendary Italian-American is fondly remembered for his staggering power tool that had the length and circumference of a tennis ball can. He also apparently was a singer. And also still today, if you hit up Frank's favorite Los Angeles Steakhouse, you can sit in the Sinatra booth,

where his prize hog once rested coiled on the cushions like a just-fed cobra. This week, on the final new Do-Boys of 2023, we returned to Steak and Shake via the oldest restaurant in Hollywood, Muso and Frank. Welcome to Doe Boys, the podcast about chain restaurants. I'm Nick Weiger, along with my co-host, The Living Embodiment of a Weeble, the Spoon Man, Mike Mitchell. That's how you want to end the last, the start the last. episode of the year. Weebles wobbles, but they don't fall down. Well, how you like it? It kind of hits close to home. I'll tell you. We'll get into that a little later.

The mayor of Mayo Chup? The mayor of Mayo Chup. I don't think you have to worry about anyone else, donning themselves, the mayor of Mayo Chup. Well, we've already got our buddy Griffin is the king of cranch, of course. Griffin, Newman for Blake Jack. Yeah.

But a mayo chup perhaps is unclaimed. Mayo chup, ketchup and mayo, basically. Yeah, I think it's like ketchup and mayo. It's trying to mayo. Mayo, yeah, that's probably what it is. I don't know. Hey, who knows? We don't know for sure.

We don't know for sure if it's ketchup and mayo. But a good combo, I guess, right? I don't think it's a combo that I want to make Fuck, I just spilled Wow, he spilled How bad was it? Sorry, it's not that bad Sorry, hold on

As the year end episode, A little chaotic start I was late where there's There's just, there's a bunch of different Do you want to get into your health issues? Well, yeah, I do want to get into my health issues, but I thought we would work our way into it. Nah, let's start right away.

We're going to start right away into my health issues. Yeah, while your clothes cleans up a spill. So, you know, earlier- I shouldn't have three beverages in here. That's my fault. That's hubris. I got a coffee, I got a Coke Zero, and I get a bottle of water. At least the Coke Zero isn't opened.

This is This is the drop for Suss Zep The Well I shouldn't say Where we went yet I guess who cares It's in the episode description It's in the intro

The Rousseau and Frank Grill With Evan Suss episode. Hello, I'm a high school English teacher in rural Virginia. Wow. Wow. Thank you for your service. And you make my days easier. Thanks for all the laughs, Ben. December 16th, 2020. Wow, one year ago. A year ago. Wow. Look, I guess Ben is still listening to the podcast and hasn't left the profession. That's, I agree. I hope everything's good with Ben. I, I, teachers get burned out. It's a tough job. It's not easy. Yeah. I come from a family of teachers. Yeah. Especially with like these woke rules about the curriculum. Uh-oh. Toe voice becomes way more profitable on the background. Immediately.

Let's just say I got some old versions of Huck Finn. I keep on standby. Jesus. Why? I can't say that? No. I was trying to think of the controversial book. I couldn't think of any.

It's not good. All right, fine. Edit point. I come from a whole family of teachers. That's right. My dad was a teacher before he was a lawyer. My dad taught college chemistry. Oh, yeah.

Do you consider yourself a teacher in a way as a podcaster? I did. I have taught some improv classes before, so I feel like that does count in many ways. But no, the answer is no. It's been a bad year. I called it a pissier at one point. You have been calling it a piss year, and you've been trying to get me on board

with it being a piss year. I've been a little bit more positive about it, even though I don't think it's been good, but I don't know if I would designate it a piss year. Yeah, I'd say it's a piss year for me. And look, a lot of good stuff happened. That's right. Twisted metal came out.

Wags. That's right. For people or audio listeners, Mitch is unbuttoning his flannel to reveal a twisted metal t-shirt. A thing you would not have been. able to do just a few short weeks ago when the Sag after strike was still ongoing. And why? Funding it back up?

Yeah, I guess I should be leaving. I didn't get to say then that it was, I mean like a, you should watch Twisted Metal. It's on Peacock Mac. Streaming on Peacock. That's right. And it was one of the most fun things I ever got to do in my life when I was down there in New Orleans. I had a blast doing it and I think it's a great show. And you're great in it.

You're great in it. Oh, thank you. Thank you. I was, I was, I was very, uh, I was very excited about it.

And then so look, some of, you know, the strike, it was just bad timing, but that's okay. Yeah. That's champagne problems,

as they say. Mm-hmm. Or stair problems. What? Sure, it's stair problems. But speaking of stair problems, stuff going on my house.

You know, the ceiling is collapsing. What? Maybe there's a little bit of a, you know, maybe this little townhouse of mine is a lemon. Santa Land is Slay up there?

Wait down with all your presents. Unfortunately, it's not the roof. It's the, it's the, the, it's one of the internal ceiling. It's on one of the stair levels. Right, right, yes, yeah. But look, champagne problems again, whatever. Yeah.

I'm lucky to have a place. I'm lucky to have a home. That's good. Everything going on the world is bad, but, you know, some people I love going through a lot of stuff, whatever. It's, it's been, it's been, the year has been, there's been some highs and lows and you didn't realize how much coffee I got on my pants.

Jesus Christ. Why did you want me to start to show? Keep going. Keep going. Why did you want me to stop the show with my stuff? I don't understand. I thought it would be a good juxtaposition of Wyger cleaning up a spill

and you talking about. Because the stuff, the health of stuff I thought could be too heavy. So I thought him still dealing with the spill would maybe just kind of bounce it out a little comedy. That stuff is too heavy. I can't make any jokes.

You get mad at my jokes. jokes. I am here to be positive. Should I give my mission statement today? No. Wait, did you credit the dropper? We give the teacher from Virginia. Ben.

Yes. That's right. That's right. So we should introduce our guest. I already did it while you were gone. Our guest today, the commissioner of the dough boys, tournament of champions. Evan Susser is back. Hi, Evan.

Hey, good to be here, guys. We're off to a great start. He's going great. Can I tell the fucking thing? Please. So, you know, stuff builds up like it always. does and there's things, you know, whatever, and overwhelmed, and I start to ask myself, you know, why do, everything I do what goes wrong, you know what I mean? I feel that way.

I don't think that's true. I know, it's not true. It's not true, but I started to feel that white quite a bit. Kirby shirt too. So I said, at one point I said, do you want a shout white? I would like a shout white. Jesus Christ. So yeah, so anyway, keep going. At one point, I was dealing with sleep issues. I wasn't sleeping well. You might I'm gonna use a shout wipe on your pants too. I know. Sorry, go ahead, Mitch. It's just, that's not gonna,

it's not gonna stain as bad. The shirt's light color. Anyway, go ahead, Mitch. No. I'm done. I'm not gonna say it. I was just trying to help him out with this, Bill.

I'm not gonna fucking say it. Thank you, Emma. Go on, Mitch, we care about you. We want to hear what you're saying. Please, please go ahead. So at one point, I wanted to get my sleep stuff under, under wraps. And, uh, and, um,

well, because I was talking to a doctor and you said, and this doctor got suggested to me and I was like, I don't know if I should go to this guy and you said, you should do it. My mom said I should do, I should do it. I also said I should do it. So I also did say I should do it.

So I got, I went to the doctor and he said, we got to get you, we gotta get you sleep study. I did a sleep study and I needed a, every, every, I talked about this on the podcast, but every minute of every hour I was waking up with the CPAP. Right. So it wasn't a good results. You're not getting restful sleep.

Wasn't getting restful sleep. So I started to use the CPAP about the beginning of October. Did you see that? Did you see that too? But I think it might be overkill the show. Sorry, go ahead, Mitch. Thank you. Fuck you, first of all.

What? I'm trying to help him with this bill. You're a little bullshit at the beginning of, uh, dude. No, I'm here to be nice. I'm sorry. So I started to use the CPAP. Jesus Christ. I mean, he's doing a lot over there.

I started using the CPAP. I started using the CPAP. Yeah. About two weeks after using the CPAC in October, I got sick with some sort of virus. I don't know what it was. It's really good because you said CPAC instead of CPAP. CEP. CPAP.

CPAP. CPAP. Again, Patreon exploded. I mentioned a CPAC. So I started using it and he maybe heard me saying how I thought my house was haunted on it. That's right. Not a good sign. No.

I was maybe a little. paranoid. My anxiety spiked. Right. I'm going to be open and talk about this, though, because we talk about everything on this podcast. But my anxiety spiked, I was so jumpy. I was paranoid. I thought someone was in my house.

This is all real. And I didn't know what was wrong with me. It was very, very, very scary, especially when I realized that I had had some sort of something happened. there was some sort of, you know, there was some sort of, there was something going on that I, that I wasn't in control of or whatever. So I at least realized that. My mom was coming out luckily anyway,

since she came out and she's a lifesaver and I love her. And, and, and I guess, I'm on steroids. I'm on my last round of steroids today. Yeah, you're looking huge. But, but I, it was either the virus, Got like set me off or There's a million things it could be but I also read that the CPAP can like fuck with your inner ear stuff and that like fucks you up

I went to the doctor. I take eye drops now. It was like a million different things, but it was a it was it was a terrifying It was the most scared about my health I've ever been in my entire life for Right for like I got like extreme brain fog for for four straight weeks like I woke up And I and you're usually razor sharp. What? You are. You're all the quickest, funniest guys I know. All right. Thank you, Suss.

For a month straight, I was waking up every day with brain fog. And I was dizzy. I was almost falling over. It was very strange. Yeah. It was all very strange. I also was only paranoid for like two days. And that's also when I was like, wait a minute, something is wrong.

Right. You know, I thought the house was haunted. Yeah. Well, look, Mitch, I'm happy to hear you're doing better. Weiger and I have both, of course, heard this before, so maybe that's why we're, I'm being a little glib, but I am very happy to hear you're doing better. Obviously, that's very scary. Wager, I'm glad you were able to clean up your stain.

And I'm really excited to be here. A year-end tradition. Hold on a second. What? You thought this stuff was too heavy. You wanted me to start the show up with it. You pipped me into saying it. You made jokes the entire fucking time I was talking about it.

Maybe I am still a little kooky. Maybe you should be fucking nervous. fucking asshole He's on the roids Yeah I have steroids And maybe I'm a fucking loose cannon now Look

I don't want to fall into these patterns The year end episode I don't want to get into fighting I want this to be positive I've come here as a positive force I'm still foggy today Just to let other people know I've gotten better

Yeah But I'm still scared I'm going to the doctor on Monday It's been it's been a long road and look, it's that sort of thing, too, of like, oh, like all the, I think a lot of stuff just piles up. It's been a tough year. Right. But it is a celebration.

Yes. And also. But I will say, we've been doing these year-end episodes a lot. That's right. And every episode, I think, starts with a lament about how it's a bad year, how it's a piss year. And, you know, they can't all be bad years. You know, you have to, there have to be some that are better. And I think if you look back at the time.

Maybe they just are old bad years. What are you talking about? But if you look back at the time that you've been doing this podcast. Look at all the things in your life that have happened. You've had all these exciting acting career, you know, career developments. You've been in movies. You've been in television shows. You have a house that's falling apart, but still, that's great.

And you've built this podcast, which has a huge following, which you're able to, you know, do and bring so much joy to people. And that's happened along the way in all of these years that you've said have all been bad years. So, you know, hey, maybe there's another way to look at it. Maybe there's been some positive. A good attitude. I'm positive now. Look, I'm positive to and look, like I said,

the Twisted Meadow is one of the most fun things and I can promote it now. Maybe at the end of the episode, maybe there'll be a little a little something fun. Oh, hey. You're alluding to something. Tees.

Great. Is that all you had to say? About my positivity? Yeah. No, I guess I can get into some of those. So I thought. Well, did you have more to say about your health? You're doing better.

I'm doing better. I'm trending towards good, but it's been it's been it's been like a while now five or six weeks of yeah right of uh i did think my house was haunted which i know is silly i know that's a silly part of the story but i i had never i mean it depends on what i mean if in haunted mansion yeah it's silly but like you know i'm saying last house on the left little little not not as not as fun that's that's a little spookier that was i mean it was more that like yeah i was seeing lines and like like i was having vision problem.

Sure. So it was like, uh, I also now don't want people to think that I'm crazy because I'm not, but I was dealing with, with some stuff that was fucking, I think that you have the self-awareness to acknowledge it and to say that you, to discuss,

and the openness discuss it will let people be like, oh, you know, I think people will feel good for you. Can I tell you the bit that I did, what were you going to ask? Did you think that this is going to sound like a joke, but I'm actually curious.

Did you think the devil was behind it? I'll say this. Around Halloween, I said, like, the devil doesn't scare me that much. more. And I said, the exorcist isn't a scary more. That's out the window. I'm now more scared to the devil than I've ever been. I believe that he is real and I'm scared of him.

Okay. Even though you realize that you're, you were being paranoid. I realized that I was being paranoid, but still, look, it came back from me. Look, when I was kooky, when I was like in my worst state, did I, uh, what's, what's it called? You said this in the podcast before. Yeah. You got, you got, uh, you know, I mean, you said this maybe last week or two weeks ago. You got, yeah. But what is, holy water? Sage? Sage. Did I sage my house?

Yeah, you said this. Did I use holy water in my house? Yes. Was that me at the height of my kookiness? Yeah, probably. Am I still now afraid of the devil more than I've ever been? Yes. It goes.

And do I also realize that I was being, that I had, like, something was going on with whatever was happening? The doctor also said it might be that I'm getting oxygen, which is, you'll all yuck up. You'll laugh it up with this one, but I'm getting oxygen to my brain for the first time. I was sure he did not laugh at that, but it was funny. He was like, he's like, you know, you haven't gotten oxygen to your brain. And also he's, he thinks it's from the, the virus. Oh, sure, yeah. He, he thinks that it was like results from the virus.

But I just want to say the bit I did to you guys was funny. Oh, yeah, that was funny. I was like, hey, I just want to let you guys know that I've been like going through some mental health stuff. And I said like a kind of a full spiel. And you guys like, oh, no, that's too bad. And then, and then I just, I copied and paste. to that and put it again. Yeah, you said to us again.

The next day. I said to you again the next day. Does he not know that he told us this already? I did it a few times. It was a fun bit. But I'm feeling good. I'm feeling better. That's great.

It was scary. It came out of nowhere. That's what scared me about it. That's why I think that it was related to the CPAP or the virus. Or maybe you doubting the devil. Or it could be that. And now I don't doubt. It wins scariest movie again.

I'm scared of it. Yeah. It could be a combination of stuff, but I'm still cloudy. I'm almost, it's gotten better where I was like so heavily cloudy every day. And now I'm like, I don't know, but all the other stuff, there's been a lot of other stuff. But there has been good things. Sure. Yeah.

There's been good stuff. It's been great stuff. And that's great. So that's, that leads me to, yeah, my positive attitude and what I'm thinking. So here, last year when I came for the year end episode, I came in with my grievances. And we kind of fallen into the pattern that these year end episodes are all about like stirring stuff up and getting into fights. And it kind of last year felt like within. cake taste. It didn't come off well.

And then people were just mad at you kind of. They kind of were, and I didn't like that. And then you guys, I don't mean to bring this up, but it's in the purpose of being positive. You guys attempted to record a 400th episode earlier this year, which did not go well. Then you guys brought me back to kind of, you know, just to, well, first of just to be on a 400th episode because you decided not to release that episode. That's right. and I kind of came to be peacekeeper to kind of, you know, and just have a fun episode. That's right.

We talked about ice cream. And that was great. And I said, I enjoy that so much more to be a positive force. And so I was thinking about what I was going to do when I came on this time. And I said, I should be a positive force again and really help celebrate doughboys with you guys. So I've got something planned. And right now I'm going to call in Amelia Marino, who's going to help me. out.

Wow. Start us off. So is Amelia, is she out there? Yes. Amelia, is she out there? Everyone's in the room. What the... Oh, my God.

Wow. I'm here. Wow. Okay, so... So you got Amelia to dress up in a suit instead of yourself. Well, yes. You know, actually, I went to Amelia because I'm not musical. And I think in the doughboys tradition, you guys, when there's, like, a big event, it's

nice to have something musical. And I asked Amelia if she could... write a song to kind of celebrate the doughboys. I haven't heard this, but I'm really excited to hear it, and she's going to kind of start us off with a little song to get us going. Amelia, I should describe her audio listeners, dressed to the nines, has a nice slacks, a shirt and tie, red tie, and is it a pinstripes blazer? How would you describe that?

Yes. Or those chalk stripes. A classic crooner outfit, you may say. Wow. How about that? I feel so bad that as you were, because you came to the door and you're like, what's up? And you were dressed normally. And then when you left, I texted you, you don't have to put my salad in the fridge.

You were desperately changing into this clothes. Yeah, actually desperately looking for my phone. So let's hope I remember these lyrics. You lost my phone. Go get your phone. Do you want my phone? I'll take Souser's phone. That's okay. All right, so this is...

Hold on. Do we need to put on headphones? Yeah, we do. Okay, we'll get some headphones on. Okay, we took a quick break because Emma thought that Susser was going to bring this out during the segment. And so we all had to get headphones on. So we took a second to cover that. But we're back now. There's no need.

This is a positive thing, We're celebrating doughboys. There's no need to pick up. There are going to be probably some bumps in the road. Yeah, it's fine. We're acknowledging the jump cut. This is great. It's all going to be okay. It's fine.

It's going to be great. All right. A musical celebration. To-d-boys from Amelia. Again, I've not heard this, but I'm excited to hear. Wow. So your thing this year is to have Amelia do make something? There's more.

Okay, okay, okay. Ready? Yep. And now your end is here. This is beautiful. And so arrest from podcast burden. My friends, I'll make it clear. There are complaints

I've been observing You've talked a lot of calm Devoured each and every entree Left people bored More bored than this Because it was Okay Regrets

You've had a lot But now a lot I'm going to mention Let's start with a guest named Lowe Or Kowalik Or EF 400 You aid

Add lousy chains Like Taco Johns or Shacks or Subway You gorged, you gorged on chips And it was okay Yes, there were times I'm sure you knew When you bid off, then you could chew but through it and two men

With a dumb potting themselves Certigai to say the field So that was a musical tribute to dough boys Wow It was a little, it had a little more shots And negativity than I was expecting And trying to keep this positive It seems like you wrote it and then had Amelia sing it

Maybe to seem like you weren't really No, no, no But I think the lyrics were like any of course I just want to see Here you gotta have to oh it's your phone It's your phone Here you're gonna have to open that phone Little Frank Sinatra by the way

Who you did you could not have known this I mentioned in my intro Oh I thought I was doing Seth MacFarlane You thought that was a Seth MacFarlin Original I watched the sing cover to prepare for this Oh my God

From the movie sing? I'm just a mouse. Wow. From Illumination Sing, Seth MacFarlane's edition of My Way, that was your context for that song. So guys, keep the headphones on.

Okay. Because what we're going to do now is I put it low. I cautiously. Rob Lo, I just put it to the Doe Boys Reddit and said, what are some of the silliest clips and funniest clips from Doe Boys

that just make you laugh? And we're just going to listen to a selection of clips and just kind of talk about, you know, how you think about them. All right. So let's start with this first clip. I don't want to introduce it. We'll just hear what it is. Okay. See if we can identify it.

Emma, can you hit it? Take two. I'm going to keep this in. All right. It's Austin Powers. It's Austin Powers. It's Austin Powers. It's Austin Powers.

Do we guess what this is? It's Austin Powers. It's Austin Powers. It's Austin Powers. My guess is that a sauce to power. We're going to guess what the sauce is. It's Saust and Powers. We should have brought that back?

Yeah, why have we done Saustin Powers again? To me, that just is such a great example of the fun of Do Boys. I don't know if you remember. The way it started out is you were going to do Saust and Powers, but you just played the song. Right. Just as is. And Mitch said, you didn't write lyrics. And he said, well, there aren't lyrics to the original song.

Why would I do parodies? but you got on board and you came up with that great thing. Someone on, you know, Reddit said that they still sing that to themselves every day. Wow. Wow. What fuck is this? Are they on death row? I thought that that was.

I thought that was a lot of fun. We're going to go. Do you guys have any reaction hearing that song again? Did you remember it? I'd completely forgotten about it. But then hearing it, I was like, oh, yeah, we did do Saustin Powers. And I was like, we should do the Saust and Power segment again. That was a good segment.

Yeah. Great. Well, I love that. Let's keep it going. We have another, I mean, musical. segments are such a great part of the show. It's true. We have another great...

As we just witnessed. Yes. We have another great musical clip that people also commented as just a really fun moment. It's a little abridged, but I think it's great. Let's hear that again. Ammo when you're ready. Catch up for mustard. Choose one.

Then you can't squeeze it in your bun. that's how the game works I sound like shit is what I think you sound like Thank you everyone We'll feel sad This podcast sucks I guess it's a little negative Yeah

But it's still I mean I remember my sacrifice Yeah We sacrificed We sacrifice ketchup or mustard He sacrificed a couple days One back to Quincy Oh, I guess it's kind of negative

Yeah, yeah Really negative I don't know if it's that negative I feel like it might be a good idea Our sacrifice Anyone's singing that still? Wow We lost We lost Weiger

I think he quit intentionally Is my guess Oh that's right Yeah This is what happened We were doing that one on Zoom Oh God We're doing that one on stream

Oh yeah I guess it's kind of a internet connection So I think he saw most of it I did watch that later But my internet connection... I wrote the whole song. Yeah. Who was the guest?

I think it was John Daly. It was Vann. We did the segment with John Daly earlier, though. Yes, you've done it twice. You did the full one, and then you... It was very impressive of the song, but Wager didn't hear it. So it seems like you picked two things, or at least this one is pretty negative. Right.

No. I mean, that's still fun. It's still a fun song. Yeah, it was a fun moment. Okay. Well, I think the next one is just pure fun. It's not going to have a game. one of the most epic parody songs I think you've done.

You did the full song. You wrote the entire three. The whole thing is like five minutes long. That's why we had to abridge it. That's insane. Do you think we have any listeners on death row? You made me think of that. I don't know if you can listen to podcasts on Delphro.

How would you? Because I don't think you're going to have a phone. How about the music label? Do you think we have any listeners who are on Death Row the music label? Yeah, probably. Is it still an operation? I don't know if Death Row records was this. I don't think it still exists.

Okay, this next clip is just fun. So let's play that. You know what doesn't suck, Mitch? Oh, there's video, too. What's that, Nick? Okay. Our very first doughboys guest, but also you didn't say Heidi Ho to Spoon Nation, did you?

I didn't. No, not in the howdy-ho. You still haven't addressed anything. Oh, shit, I didn't do it today either. I thought we weren't going to talk about it on pod. You didn't think we were a piece of shit? Wait, what happened here? We were just anowering through it mode.

Are you wearing the same shirt? I am working the same sure. And also I'm like, I look dinner. Do you think you were maybe a little mean? What are you talking about? Do you think that maybe you were mean? No, I don't. I think you were talking shit and I think I retaliated.

Okay. That's how, that's my perception of it. Also, I think that it was a little playful, a little more playful than you perceived. Has anyone ever seen this before? I think. You know what else? What? Is this from the lost episode of Do you?

Yeah, it's from episode of Don't Boys. Yeah. the fucking lost episode, you fucking dickhead. How did this get mixed up? Emma, did I send the wrong time code or something? Did I pull from the wrong 400? Oh, geez. I got an idea, Wags.

I have a great bonding idea. We kicked the shit out of it. Okay, look, look. Look, that was a mistake. Maybe something I could have, but look, you got to mix it up. You got to have a little bit kind of. Just like patting yourselves on the back. I like that you're leaning into your villain.

A little negativity. Next, we have, we're going to get back to positive. Philadelphia cream cheese, you know that song? Oh, great song. Of course. We have the video of that from, not from the official doughboy source, but from a listener. We're going to watch a little bit of Philadelphia cream cheese. All right, that's fun.

Also, we didn't order luncheon. Which I wanted to do. Oh, my God. Bled sugar is going to plummet. Yeah. I can talk to a dog and get you a fucking piece of dog shit, you fucking ass. asshole. How's that for a lunch snack,

you fucking dickhead? Man. You know, I had not seen the video actually until now. I had only heard it. It's still funny. It's still very, it's very angry when you look at it. Yeah, I was fucking angry.

Let me just, like, review what I've pulled, actually. Okay. You have a musical theater background? Couple of the musicals in high school and college, but... I got bad news. Yeah. I don't know how this happened, but I'm reviewing my notes.

My next thing is actually not a clip from the show. It's actually a voice memo. Oh, wow. Okay. That Mitch sent me after, or right around the time of recording the... Jesus. Episode 400, where I don't think... No one's heard this.

This is kind of... This is how he talks, not on the air. Got it. This is not fun, Mitch. This is just... the real, I don't know if we should play this. This is maybe bad. This is, again, I wanted to come here as a positive force.

Yeah. And this is just, this is maybe going to cross a line of not even being. I say we play it and we can always cut it. You want to play it and we could. Mitch, is it okay if we play it? Yeah, we can play it. Okay, let's play it. Please welcome live via Zoom.

Yelling at his children that, or his child, that the show is about to begin. It's the Noid. Wow. Welcome Noid. I'm going to stand for the anthem. Oh, say, can you see by the dawn's early light? What so proudly we hail as the twilight last we make.

Whose bold stripes and bold stars through the perilous fight. Bull the ramparts be watched Turns the rabbit He's dreaming In the rock is red wear The bulls bursting in air It moved through the night That our food was still there

Bulls stay done there The Dark and Wames Playbill! Wow, thank you the annoyed Philbiltry.

Right. It might have been the funniest our podcast ever was. Yeah, I think that's the peak. That was a... That's all of our... That's all of the clip review. I totally forgot that

Kualik changed it to bowl lyrics. It was the Bull National Anthem because it was for a bowl tournament. Well, guys, I'm sorry that there were some flub ups in that clip show. I can't believe those flubs happen. I know.

I mean, do you really have a voicemail from the time that happened? No, I don't. Oh, man. I kind of was interested in hearing what it was. But I thought that was fun to look back at some great moments in, oh, boys. It's not just the fighting, which, yes, there is some fighting, but there's also a lot of great, silly fun stuff that I thought we should celebrate. The noid singing in the national anthem. Great.

Our buddy McIwallach. Yeah. I mean. Who had COVID at the time. Yeah. He was. And Amelia, I thought the song was fantastic. Great song, Amelia.

Thank you. Thank you very much. Very well done. Thank you. Did Susser tell you to dress up in a suit or was that? No, this is all me. All right. I think it was the right call.

I texted like 100 people asking if they had a fedora and nobody did. So. I guess that means you know the right people. Yeah, I guess so. And to be clear, you were dressing up as Seth. McFarland, I guess. Or the mouse. Or the mouse and sing.

I, you usually are in a suit for the... Not for the end of the year. Oh, okay. That's true, yeah, for the tournament of champions. You wore a suit last night, I'll say that. Yeah. Well, look, we got to get into last night.

Here's what we should do. If we're done with the clips. Yes, we're done with the clips. Let's move on to the chips, if you will. Let's take a break. We'll be right back with more doughboys. Welcome back to Doe Boys for our year-end episode. steak and shake eight.

Wow. With our buddy, Evan Susser. So it's steak and shake eight, but it's seven years, right? No, 2015, we started. 2015? Wow.

Yeah. Because didn't we do the first time we did steak and shake, not at the end of the year? And then at the end of the year, we went back. Right. Yeah.

So we've done, we've covered steak and shake, quote note, sake and shake eight times. Wow. This is number eight. They haven't all been named in that, you know,

same convention. Yeah. This is the eighth time we've done. done this. Oh, and we're covering for this week for the stakes part, Muso and Frank Grill, which is the oldest restaurant in Hollywood, founded in 1919. And the new room where we were sitting was constructed in 1955. So that's how much history there is. And I got to say this, Suss had never been before. That's right. Never had been. It was a real treat. Muso was in Frank Virgin. Uh-huh. We should, uh, we should get ahead of this. I look, Muso and Franks is a very nice restaurant. It's an expensive restaurant. That's right. It may seem out of touch or in bad form that this is where we're going to.

We're going to tell you all about this great fancy meal. But you know what? It was a delight. It was a thrill and it was a real treat that you guys took me there. I also think it's the kind of thing that we can use our show budget to cover a restaurant like this because this is like an iconic Hollywood institution. Again, it's the oldest restaurant in Hollywood. It's the only restaurant with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

It's been featured in many movies and TV shows, including Ocean's 11, Madman, once upon a time in Hollywood, Bosch, Ed Wood. There's just like the list of movies that have used this as a filming location and TV shows as a bunch of heavy hitters. And also their famous regulars included people like Charlie Chaplin, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinacho, who we mentioned, Orson Wells. One more that we can get to when we get into our meal. That's right.

Should I say? We should just say it. Yeah. So when we sat at the table, our hostess said, you are sitting at the Raymond Chandler. table, Raymond Chandler sat right here in this booth and wrote the big sleep. And I put you guys here because I know you're here for the podcast and that's

what it makes me want to do when I listen to it. Have a big sleep. Did she really say the other stuff to you? The Raymond Chandler wrote the big sleep there. Yeah. And that she knew that it was for the podcast. Yeah, we were in the Raymond Chandler's food. Wait, she really knew it was for the podcast. No, she didn't know. But yes, it was a Raymond Chandler and he did write the big sleep there.

Wow. Supposedly. We should say that the, this is, so as far as what you're experiencing when you go into this place, it feels kind of frozen in time. It's like, you know, it's very, very old school. It feels like a restaurant from the 1920s from its, from its heyday. And then there's also that extends to the wait staff who are, you know, all wearing like, blazers and, you know, like, like, just like, like, our server had like a red blazer

with like black trimming and like, like, just look. Like everyone looks like they're out of a movie. Yeah. Is there a chance you got a waiter who's a ghost? Possibly. You could never tell the difference. And that's not just me being crazy. I was going to ask.

Can we, before we get into our meal, I look this up and I thought this could be a fun mini game to play. I'm going to name some celebrities. Can you guess their favorite dish at Muso and Frank? There are some Hollywood regulars. Wow. Yeah. I would love this game.

First up, director Steven Soderberg. Soda burg. Sodaberg makes me think he wants a soda and a berg. A soda and a burger. Wow. I think it's going to be a salad. I think it's going to be the Moussel and Frank salad. Stephen Soderberg likes the corned beef and cabbage. Weird.

How about that? Weird. I would not have not guessed that. The late great Alan Arkin. Arkin. Arkin. Arkin. I'm going to go with steak.

Okay. Steak is your guest. I'm going to go with the boiled chicken. That's a good guess, but he ended up really liking his go-to was the fried zucchini. Oh. He got him for 50 years. Wow. Next up, Danny Trejo.

Trejo. Trejo. He has, Danny Trejo has. Danny Treo, a restaurateur in his own right. There are Treos tacos, which we should probably review on the podcast, and then Treos's coffee and donuts. I've had both of them. He apparently goes once a week. Once a week.

Wow. That kind of changes. good. So because of that, I think he's got a little bit of a sweet tooth. I think that he likes the crapes, which maybe we ordered last night, which were called what? They were called the, uh, the griddle cakes. Yeah, griddle cakes. I think, you know, original was trying to be too cute.

Lanel cakes, I apologize. I think I'm going to go straight down the middle, prime rib. Chicken pot pie. It's the best chicken pot pie anywhere. I should have gone with something weird. That's one of the ones where it's like, it's a weekly special. I think every Thursday of Chicken Bot Five. He goes once a weekend on the same day when they have it.

All right. This is the last one. Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones. Oh, Keith Richards is in the Rolling Stones, right? A lot of our fucking, someone who works for us did not know who Frank Sinatra was. We can't expect our listeners, many of whom were born in 1995 or later, to have an understanding of who the Rolling Stones are. Let me guess. Keith Richard was at the open.

of Musil and Franks. Keith Richards, I'm going to go steak. Okay, going with steak again. French Indian soup. Liver and onions. Oh, perfect. That makes sense.

Yeah, it's like, oh, yeah, these guys are 80 years old. That's an old man meal. All right, well, so last night we went. Did you think Keith Richards could beat me in running a mile? Yes. He's performing. live music still all the time. Isn't that wild? I know. So he beat me in a foot race. Yeah. Keith Richards could like kill me and hand to hand

he probably could beat me. I don't know about that. I don't think he's a fighter. You're also a big guy. Yeah, I could smother him here. Good point. Okay. We went on a Wednesday night. Luis was our server. He was a dream. I would did, you know, it's like that showmanship. Yes. That element to which which it starts from when you walk in the door. And like there's a doorman and you're greeted and like, you know, they remember your name, which we witnessed firsthand with you. All that stuff is great.

They remember your name? Yes. You messed that part. Oh, the way out. It was because. Oh. The way out. I was just say he'd never been there before.

The Major D had clock that it was Evans first time and said like, Evan's great to see you here. Help we see you again. Wow. Really good. Like two and a half hours later. Yeah, it was great. Well, here's the deal. I came in the back door like the boys from once a time.

upon time on time in Hollywood. Right. So, yeah, I've been there once or twice. But when you go on the front door there, they're very, I mean, they're all, they're all, it's great service. I think it's worth, I think it's worth experiencing just for that, just for kind of the magic. Because also, I think another aspect of this, and I said this last night, we should say that it is in the worst part of the city.

And I don't mean in terms of like, oh, it's like the most dangerous part or anything the seediest part. It's just the grossest part of the city. It's disgusting. What, I parked the two minutes of me arriving and getting ceded to the table were the most insane experience of my life, which I kind of... The restaurant's on Hollywood Boulevard, which is where the walk of fame is. So they're like Harrison Ford Star and William Peterson from CSI are right outside this restaurant. I pulled into the parking structure that was close by.

And first of all, it's $20, which is insane. But I was like, I don't know where I'm parking in on Hollywood Boulevard. So I said, fine. The guy yells at me. He's like, park in a handicap spot. I was like, okay. So I do. You order you to do that.

I get out. You should have in the valet. The valet is cheaper. I probably should have, but I didn't want to be driving around too much. I get out. I see a person who is taking a piss, right, as soon as I walk out. Then I walk past a souvenir shop. And then a guy who, I don't know what his deal was, but he just ran up to me and said,

I'm trying to buy a cigarette for $1. And I said, I don't know. I don't have that. It was like scary. It was like the city is scary. I walk in, then I go into this restaurant, which is all of a sudden, like, yeah, going back in time and it's like very classy. I meet the host who says, like, hello, who are you, Evan? Oh, it's so nice to meet you.

I asked where the restroom is. I go into the restroom. And there's a guy in there taking a piss. Well, he is taking a piss, but he's also having a work conference call on speakerphone in the bathroom. That's insane. Truly insane. And it was just so many crazy things within like four, like, with, you know, two minutes. I could have seen your cowardly lying fucking ass running around Hollywood Boulevard getting scared.

I was so scared. Oh, cigarette. Oh, piss. I mean, it's not, look, it's, it's not the most pleasant environment. It's hell. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's just, like, all these tourist traps. Like it's all these like, you know, just the shittiest, like, dumbest, like grossest bars and then just like a bunch of shops that are selling like the cheapest, like crappiest like celebrity merchandise, you know. And then there's like the Ripley's, believe it, or not museum and the wax museum, all these, these tourist traps are nearby. It's not a great.

It's like, it's like, it's like, you know, 1990s time square before everything became super gentrified. And so it just has still has a layer of grime all over it. Yes. But once you go inside, like you said, it's beautiful. It's great. It's a real oasis, yeah. It's great. I'm sorry if you were scared when you were parking.

I was scared. So we sat down. And this is a place where, you know, if you are someone who drinks, I think this is like, they have old school cocktails. You got the whiskey sours. I got myself a Hendrix gin martini with olives. And it's fun to just, they have some signature cocktails, but I think that's the way to go there. Like get something that's like that someone would have gotten to the bar in 1919. Yeah.

It definitely, you know, it feels like you're just in the past and like it, yeah, that's great. It's a hop a night last night, too. It was packed on a Wednesday night, a random Wednesday night. Right. We had a little trouble getting reservations. Yes. Originally we were supposed to go on Tuesday. And you said, okay, well, we can do 5 p.m. on Tuesday.

Yeah. Which you were thrilled about, I believe. I would have loved to have done 5 p.m. We've seated at the ungodly hour of 745. I was like, Jesus Christ, I was so tired. It was packed in there when we got it. Well, here's a deal. Wednesday night, maybe you'll see Wednesday

Adams on a Wednesday night. You never know who you're going to see. You don't know who you're going to see. There are a lot of like just looking at people for a bit and being like, do I recognize them and then realizing you don't and you're just staring like in an old guy. It's koalic. And he's in the noise suit. Yeah, there's, yeah, there is a lot of old guys that you just kind of confused.

Going in there weekly, Danny Trajo, that's, that is wild to me. Because do remember there was. Are there any other people that have? days of the week in their name. I was trying to do another one, but I couldn't like that someone. Saturday, maybe. Jeff Saturday is a football player. Oh, yeah.

Got to be more. Frank Friday, is that a person or no? Yeah, I'm pretty sure Frank Friday is a guy. Well, there's his girl Friday, right? Yeah, oh, that would have been good. Yeah. All right. Anyway, go on.

Hold on. Monday. I mean, we could start with Monday and work our way forward. Tuesday. Tuesday. There's going to be something with someone named Tuesday, right? Probably someone named Tuesday.

Tuesday Adams? I know there's Wednesday Adams. There's Wednesday Adams. That's probably what you're thinking of. Thursday. Thursday. Early modern Monday. No, it's Millie.

Right. Yeah, no, it's Millie. So, Suss, you got scared. Manic Monday. That's a song. Manic Monday. That works. Friday I'm in love.

So if we open it up to songs. Yeah. The cure, I guess, it was a Monday. We saw the cure. I don't know. It's kind of, you know. Robert Smith was there on a date. Yeah, yeah.

He was like Friday I'm in love. That's good. Yeah. But, I mean, that didn't happen. But that would have been good. Yeah, yeah. There was no one we saw in there. The last time I was in there, I saw the knife in there.

One of the last times I was in there with the Quincy guys. Wow. You mean Atlanta Johnston. Yeah. Wow, that's awesome. I didn't mean a fucking knife that they gave me on the fucking table. You probably did see one, though. I did see a knife.

They gave me a knife to eat. Yeah. I went in there with the Quincy boys. the first time I ever went in here I went the first time I ever went in here it was I took my mom and my dad and my girlfriend at the like my first LA girlfriend you all I think you probably remember who it was um and the four of us so it was like one of those awkward I think it was the first dinner I ever had with my parents with a girlfriend ever this is 2007 seven maybe 2007 and um and I was not blown away the first time I had. I was, and I got to say this, too, Muso and Franks kind of wise, I think you,

you'll probably remember this. Remember there was like a time like in the early 2000s where it was kind of in a slump, right? Like there was like a little bit of like a. Well, so yeah, they have like, they have swapped in different chefs over the years. I'm reading.

So I think the menu's been a little bit revitalized because it does, this is the issue with a place that's been like, you know, they have jellied consummate on the menu, which is like, is a, is a savory, like, you know, beef, uh, jello, basically. Like, they have stuff that's like you would have eaten way, like in the, you know,

post-World War I era that doesn't really translate to today's palette. So I think they've had some new chefs come in there and shake up the menu and modernize elements of it and keep other things, um, as they were. So yeah, I think the food is on a little bit of an upswing based on my, my handful of experiences going here over the years. Yeah, no, for sure. I think there was, I think there was a little bit of a, uh, a dead. zone for a while there.

But I've loved this play. Even then, like I wasn't, I didn't, I wasn't thrilled with the food or whatever, but my mom and dad and the lady I dated, we, we all, the four of us, we had a great time. It was a, it was, well, we're, no, the vibe is great. The vibe is great. I've been here a few times. By the way, you don't need to have your headphones on anymore. Oh, that's right.

Thank you. Were you listening to anything? I also like that when. Blank check. I like when you were like, uh, Like, take the head of phones off because it's a surprise, and then it was like, like, a Musack version of, I did it my way. I never would have understood what the fuck was happening.

Yeah, the vibe is great. Don't yell me. That was Emma who said, bud. Oh, well, whatever. Yeah, let Emma. Do it. Sorry, no. I'd rather not yell at Emma.

I actually hadn't even heard it yet. I didn't know if it was spoiled. The vibes in there are great. You could see, you know, you could see somebody. I told you guys that I saw Marvin Schwartz when we were in there. That's right. Yeah. Which was confusing.

Yeah, but it was pretty good. That's the name of Al Pacino's character once in a time in Hollywood. But then if you Google that, there is a real producer named Marvin Schwartz who died. And then it was like, what? And then it was like, oh, that's also the name of the character. I thought it was still pretty good that I saw Marvin Schwartz. I thought you guys would, you know, I thought it would. No, it was good.

Once we figured it out, once we figured it wasn't like you seeing a ghost. Yeah. Yeah, well, I don't know if you were afraid of me seeing go. I mean, we, okay, so. And then I said, what a podcast. I thought was good. That was good. Once we had the context for what you were saying, that was good.

You don't think what a podcast is good? It's very good. So I have, my connection to this place is like very, like, Hollywoody. Like I've been, you know, I think my first time here was like years ago and my then reps at the time. My agents took me out to dinner at Musa. Wow. I think I'd just gotten a big job and there was like a congratulations sort of thing. So we had like a nice meal there.

But it was one of those. Congrats on getting the road to respect video games. But it was one of those things where it was, you know, like we ate this meal and they paid for it. And it was lovely. and then afterwards, like, I, like, had valeted my, like, fucking shitty Toyota Yaris, and all three of them got, like, their BMW, their Audi and their Tesla. And I was just, oh, I get how this town works, you know, it was like one of those moments. And then the other thing was the other, and I took a writing staff here from the show.

Actually, Tesla wouldn't have been, it wouldn't have been a Tesla at that point. And he said BMW, though. I did say Tesla as a third pole. But whatever, whatever fucking fancy car would have been in, like, 20, 2009 or whatever. Anyway, the other, I also took a writing staff there in a show I worked on is just like a kickoff dinner and that was fun. And then also, you took them? Yeah. And then also is this party over here?

That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Buck show I worked on. Very generous. And then I also, the last time I think I was there was pre-quarantine. I was working on Sarah Silverman's Hulu show. And it was when she got her star on the Walk of Fame. And she invited everyone to go there.

And so we like witnessed her like John C. Riley spoke. Jimmy Kimmel spoke. She said a few words This is out, like they put Her star was like nearby And then afterwards Um Did they rent out the whole restaurant

Afterwards yes We went into the restaurant And we had the restaurant But here's the thing It was really cool to be in there But it was also the middle of the day So it was a little bit different energy And also the food was just like catered

Yeah It wasn't like you could order off the full menu But it was still like Oh this is This place has some Hollywood iconography And that's my connection to it And those are my memories of it I had a can I tell

Can I tell a little I mean, why not? This isn't bragging. The thing never happened. Yeah. But I met with me and Bugmain and Armin and Jack or the pilot. And we met with Tom Gamal and Max Pross, who I worked for at The Simpsons. And we talked to them about maybe running this pilot that we wrote, the show.

And we had lunch at Moose. It was a big, a nice Hollywood lunch at Muso and Franks. Yeah. None of it happened. It didn't work out. But it was fun in the moment. Yeah, that's the thing. It's all like, you know, none of it works out, but it's fun.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. In fact, none of these things, starting with that, my, the woman who I used to date, that didn't work out. Yeah,

none of this stuff works out. The show you worked on. Nothing I worked on worked out. Nothing. It didn't work out. So interesting. Yeah. So now we bring the podcast.

We got the, I will say, I like my martini. I think they make good stiff, like classic cocktails there. And, you know, it's,

it's, I also, just in terms of the showmanship, I like that it's a place where the servers just like remember your order. and also like get it right. Like that's part of the fun.

There was more showmanship before things did change a little bit because they did used to make a salad there. I'm sure of it. Like a table side salad. They used to make a table side salad. Are you thinking of Lowry's? No, I know that they do it at Lowry's too, but I swear they used to do one at Musos. Maybe I'm just wrong.

I don't remember this, but I trust you. I did get the Susser and I got the Caesar salads and you got the dinner salad. Which I like that dinner salad quite a lot. Good plate size salad too. Like it's an appetizer salad. It's meant for one. It's not an entree. But it is like, oh, this is a substantial amount of great.

Well, before you even get into that salad, they bring in that nice sourdough bread with a delicious butter. It's great. The butter was very good. The butter is gray. The butter's gray. I didn't know the butter. Yeah. And I thought that bread used to be warm, but maybe never it was either.

I don't know if I'm just, things changed with the pandemic and stuff. I have no idea. But I loved my dinner salad. It has some beats on there, Wags. That's right. It's a, and I got that house dressing, which is kind of like Thousand Islandese. It was, I loved it. How was the Caesar?

Quality Caesar. It was a good Caesar. It was very solid. And we also got a shrimp cocktail. Now, five shrimps. That's the thing. That's awkward to share for pretty much any sized party. And here's the funny thing about that breakdown.

I ate three of the shrimp. Well, here's the thing. Mitch introduced it. So what should we get? Mitch goes, well, I had the shrimp cocktail last time I was here and it was not that good. Let's get the shrimp cocktail. And I was like, uh, okay. I didn't really have something that I wanted more than that.

I can like a shrimp cocktail. And then I wanted, I wanted to, give the shrimp cocktail another a second shot. And it arrived and I had it. I didn't think it was terrible, but I didn't think it was that good. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine, yeah.

It used to be better. The problem is, though, if someone introduces it and says, it's not very good and you have that kind of in your mind and you're like, hmm, it is not that good. Yeah. Also, I think at a place like that, I was kind of expecting or thinking in my mind like the big jumbo shrimp cocktail. Well, yeah. So that's, that was my point of comparison.

Like, if you go to Hillstone and you get a shrimp cocktail, you get those big boys. He has jumbo shrimp. There's something to happen with the shrimp there because they used to also bring it on ice, I thought, and now that comes like on vegetable, a little cup in vegetables and, like, shredded

lettuce or whatever. But the, the shrimp cocktail... I should probably order it 10 more times. I mean, look, there's something that I didn't order and I regretted not ordering it. I got scared out of ordering it. We'll talk about it.

We'll get into it. Speaking of ice, the thing I really like, this isn't the thing they do at Hillstone. They give you a little sidecar for the rest of your That is very cool. That's very cool. And you know what? When your drink starts to get a little low and maybe you haven't even clocked it yet, your waiter comes over and he refills it from the sidecar himself. A little crap. The service there is fantastic. Great service. We also look, it is like, it's that sort of thing of like, for listeners who get mad at us, we're going to a fancy steakhouse, which I don't know if anyone will or not. It is, it's, yes, it's expensive, but it also is like, we were wearing baseball caps. Maybe we're just assholes. No, there's a kind of assholes. Well, There's a little bit... You were dressed up like a dork.

I thought it would be fun to dress up. And then I thought it was funny that you guys went the other way. Yeah, we do. I was like doing shit all day. Yeah. Like I came from... And then you came in, you're like, I'll take off my hat. And then you're like, I got to put the fucking hat back on.

I kept mine on. And then when you see the guys in the red suits looking at you, you're like, they probably hate our fucking guts. No, but this is the thing, because you will see people wearing full suits. You will see, like, high-powered, like, exact types and the agent types. you know, who are dressed to the nines, but then you'll also see just, like, tourists wearing, like, a Tommy Bahama shirt and, and...

Get them out of there. It's like, I don't know. I like that, though. I like that there's that... Well, it is also kind of the Hollywood thing. Very Hollywood, yeah. I say it's expensive, but also you could probably not break the bank if you, if you wanted to, if you went in there in order correctly.

It's a little expensive. I'm just saying... It's not the most, it's not the fanciest, most expensive place around. It's not. You know that that's true. No, you're, no, this is like, look, if you went to, like, a Ruth's Chris steak or a Morton Steakhouse, you could easily spend as much as you spend a Muso and Frank and not have the as good of an experience. Yeah. For sure. Um, okay, so we let's let's talk steaks a little bit because this is the order of the day. Yeah. So I mean, do you want to talk about what you, what your move? I wanted the ribby cap and I went in there. I think I'm going to get the ribby cap. That's right. I wanted this ribby cap. I've had it before. My mom, sister and I, when, when tomorrow war came out, we went to Muso and Franks and we went to. And we. got a, and I got the ribby cap and I loved it.

And, uh, when can you explain what a ribby cap is? Because I actually hadn't heard of it until we were there. It's just like the tender top of the ribby, basically. Um, and I went in there and they don't always have it. And I asked him, I said, do you got the ribby cap? And he said, we got one. He says, it's eight ounces though. Yeah.

And that scared me because it's also like eight ounces. I have a hard time when I see like, I'm like, how much meat do I need? Like, I was like, is eight ounces small? Eight ounces is pretty small. It's half the size of the normal ribeye or the, bone and ribby, which is 16 ounces. Yeah. So you were getting, yes, you're getting a smaller portion of a more succulent meat. So I was, that scared me off.

Yeah. Eight ounces is like, you know, it's like a tenth of a baby, right? And it depends a baby, but yeah. I mean, look, I shouldn't put into baby terms. I'm just saying it's like, this is, we're talking baby weight at this point. Eight ounces. 16 ounces is a pound. Yeah. Yeah. Half a pound. So small baby.

Do you think a baby is what size? The math there, you said An 8th of a 4 pound baby It doesn't matter how much a baby Fucking weighs Yeah Well, you brought it up babies It's not like we brought up babies

A baby's diaper could weigh five ounces For Christ's sakes So, I mean, that's also Not to think fucking disgusting Baby shit-filled diaper being the same size As the food we ate How much do your diapers way? Great question

Don't wear diapers eight ounces just eight ounces seem to small yes eight ounces seems small yeah I had it I had it what's that I wish

you make it some sort of dick joke or something I don't really have it all together my dick doesn't weigh eight ounces that's for sure you know my dick weighs half a pound I would love her an eight ounce

dick I wonder if that would be an appealing thing like oh bitch she's got such a heavy dick Great idea for the next episode of the scale. You're gone. Okay, anyway, what were you talking about babies? Okay, so he said his eight ounces, he scared me off.

The waiter who I liked a lot. He scared me off. Well, because you were like, okay, you thought you could get two of them. Well, that's what I thought. Hold on a second. That's what I thought he was saying. Yes. I thought he's like, it's eight ounces.

and I thought he was saying like you get two, like I thought he was saying it was like a smaller cut tonight. Right. So you can order two. But he was just telling me. I mean, I think you could have. I don't think you could have. I don't think it was the last one.

Yeah. But also you would like it's like the same price as the regular ribby because it's a higher quality. So like it's, you would have been spending a pretty penny there. So I, so I've had it before. I knew the size. I knew it was smaller. Yeah. But I was just like, ugh, it scared me off.

You would right before me ordered the ribeye. That's right. I say, never mind, I'll get the ribbi too. Then this guy switches his order. That's right. I said, if he's not going to have the rabbi cap, which I was saving for you, I said, I'll take it myself. And in my mind, when he got off it, I had never even heard of the rabbi cap. I'm like, oh, maybe I'll switch, but you jumped in and switched.

And I didn't know if it was the last one or I also didn't want to steal your move of being like, I'll actually take it. Yeah. So then I got the bone in ribi. Ribai cap also kind of funny. Sounds like a hat. Yeah. Or like Captain America. Yeah.

There's a lot of fun stuff. There's a lot of fun stuff. But anyway, the stakes come. And I have mine. And Nick very generously offered to give us all a bite. Yeah. And I'm so mad that you did. Because I had the bite and I said, it's so much better.

I ordered Ron. It was real good. Instead of enjoying this also good steak, now I had, you know, comparison to the thief of joy. That's true. And now I just had. What was that line? comparison as a thief of joy, which is maybe not what the expression is,

but I think I've heard something like that. Something like that, yeah. Anyway, so now I just had this better. The comparison is the death of happiness. They're all, there's versions of this. The idea is that, once you start comparing yourself

or anything that you have into what other people are, you stop enjoying it. You start comparing this podcast, a blank check. Sure, right. You stop enjoying it. What are we doing here?

And so then I just had that and I'm like, I fucked up with the order. And such a, and I was telling you guys, You know, my wife's a vegetarian, so I don't get out to a lot of steakhouses. Right. Mm-hmm. This is the only steakhouse I've been to in the past. I don't even remember before pandemic.

Wow. Wow. Four years. I guess if you count Tamoshantor is, I guess that's not true. That's kind of a slightly separate thing. Sure, sure. It's own vibe. Are we supposed to be feeling sad for you right now?

Well, I just was saying that I just was in my head. I was like, I fucked up. I fucked up the order. And it made me, it made me sad. Yeah. I messed up the order. I thought mine was delightful. Yes, the ribby cap was fantastic.

I didn't get to try a bite of the bone in ribby. You ate it all and didn't really offer. I mean, I think that it wasn't that different. You thought it would have been nice to try. You know, Wags wouldn't you feel the same way to anything? Did you give him a piece of yours? No, but, you know. Yeah, because he gave me a piece of his and you gave me a piece of yours.

Yeah. We all did swaps, but it's just, this was the two of you issue. Yeah. He was on his end of the table. I just never, you know, that was not. You guys were sitting next to each up. What did you think of the steak breakdown when you try the different bites? I would put yours.

You're the only one who tried every bite of every steak. I would have given yours the bronze. I hate to tell you. I think the bone in was better than the bone list. But I mean, that's also just my personal tendency. I prefer the bone in. I like my steak quite a bit. Yours was good.

They were all good. The stakes are good. That's the thing you get there. Because I went not that long ago. And the reason I went for the ribby is because the last time I was there, I had like my favorite ribeye I've ever. had. So like, you can get lucky there. I think that the food quality can be, it can go up and down.

I think sometimes you'll get better stuff and other times it won't be as good, but the shrimp cocktail is an example of that. But for the most part, you're getting, you're getting a lot of good food. I was curious, Wager, I know you've been eating a lot less red meat. I wasn't even sure what you were going to do when we were eating. I didn't know if you were even

going to eat red meat. When was the last time you had a steak or red meat? Well, here's the thing. We fairly recently did Black Angus. Oh, right. You fucking fraud. You stole my cap. You stole the cap. You passed it up. I know, I know.

You stole it from me. Damn it. I wanted that cap. I'm going to have to go back for a cap. You can do it. Steak cap. That sounds like a night cap. Oh, that's fun.

Three more shrimp cooked. Okay, so. Stakes were all good. We didn't talk sides. Let's talk sides a little bit. First of all, we got a peppercorn sauce and their steak. sauce. Okay, this is, when you talk about not expensive, the amount they charge you

for just sauce is insane. Yeah, $10. $9.9. Yeah, it's absurd. It's absurd. This is the thing. That's where you see the markup. It's things like the sauce or like the asparagus that we got, which was $16 for, I think we, I think we each got four spears. This is one of those places

where the steaks come all a cart and all of the sides are for Sharon. That's on you guys. I'd go no greens all day every day. You guys said a green vegetable would You brought up asparagus. I had the broccoliini last time I'm there, and it was kind of dousin oil. Yeah. The asparagus, I thought, was, well, could have been seasoned a little bit more, but the Brinay sauce

did a lot of the... It's a hollandaise sauce, but, yeah, it's similar sort of sauce, and I think it's just completely unseasoned, but I think it was actually Suster's call to get the asparagus. Yeah, well, I just was going for green. I went for asparagus. I think it was the right move. Also, we got potatoes two ways, which I was like, I don't think we need that many potatoes, and I was wrong, because Mitch, we got the mashed potatoes, which were good, but then

we also got the Leonese potatoes. The Leonade's potatoes were great, and we probably would have not gotten them. We would not have gotten them if we'd only opted for one potato. Yeah. So that was the right move. I thought it was insulting to my heritage and my culture for you to say we could only get one potato. And I thought the two potato move was turned out to be great. The Leonese potato, that's how you say it.

I don't know how you pronounce it. But that, I might get that every time I go there. That's what I was going to say. That's what I would nudge anyone towards if they're, trying to figure out which of the, you know, half dozen potato preparations to get. Try out those Leonase. And what it is is it's basically like a, it's, I think it's flash boiled or it's just like it's parboiled and then they flash fried.

I think that's the process. It's interesting. There's a little bit of a tangent that you would nudge someone when ordering. Do you feel that obligation when you go to dinner with someone or lunch to someone to be like, as a Joe boy? No, just in general as a person to be like, you don't want them to order badly. Yeah, if I know the place and they don't, for sure, I give them. a little bit of guidance.

Yeah. Because this is also a thing. You're looking at this big, like, it's the fucking long menus and there's a lot of options. There's people who, look, there's like, you know, I think that I will be opinionated about it. There's guys like Armin are good for an Armin who, who will like take control of ordering.

You know what I mean? Yeah, I don't go that far. I'm not going to, unless someone wants me to take the reins, I'm going to do that. Yeah. I like to do a bit when I'm eating lunch with someone. I like, oh, what are you going to?

get and find out ahead of time. And then when the waiter comes, I like do it like a dad and be like, and this guy right here is going to get the club sandwich. That's fun. It's fun. It's like with your, yeah, I don't like that. That sucks. Oh, I guess we should talk to desserts real quick. I was just to say the pepper corn sauce is my favorite of the sauce. Quality sauce. The Hollandees, which I thought was a Bernays, the Hollandeau sauce, which I thought we tried to order one of each sauce because there was a Bernet sauce, right? I guess we didn't get it. We got a ketchup, a steak sauce, and the peppercorn sauce. I thought the peppercorn sauce was because it's kind of like a gravy.

Yeah, that's fun. We also got the, for dessert, we got the 1919 Sunday, which is, I believe it's vanilla ice cream, peanut brittle, peanut brittle, and buttercotch. Kind of an unconventional combination and also I don't, I feel like a lot of times you were saying this, miss, usually Sundays are so chocolate dominated a restaurant. There was nice to see a non-choclead Sunday. That was a sus-sor observation. But I will say this. Do we want to take it back? Yeah, so we also got the 1919 Sunday. And this is a Sunday that's vanilla ice cream, peanut brittle, and buttercotch. And Susser was saying, normally you see a Sunday and it's so dominated by chocolate.

That's right, Nick. That was something that I said last night. You know, I think that, look, there's nothing wrong with chocolate sauce on a Sunday. No. But I think it's nice to kind of see something different and be like, hey, this is how they did it in 1919. Right. So that's a great thing it has. Yeah.

Okay. Me, I was like so surprised you knew so much about sauces. When I look at you, I'm like, this guy doesn't know anything about sauces. You know everything about sauces. You like sauce. You like chocolate. You like sauce. You're a sauce man.

He's sauce in powers. He's sauceed in powers. He's sauceed in powers. He's sauced in powers. You spill sauce on my couch. It's true. I spilled ranch. Is ranch a sauce?

Yeah, it's a sauce. It's both a dressing and a sauce. We might be exploring that topic more in the future. Yeah. Wow. I don't know. I don't think we will, honestly. Sunday was great.

Look, I had the Sunday the last time I was there. So I was like, I don't need to have the Sunday again, but because I'm such a mensch. I don't know what the fuck. You were like, oh, we don't need to get the Sunday again. It was great. And even though it was great. But then the shrimp, you're like, they're bad. We have to get it again.

No, I'm sorry. Good item. You said, I had it. It was great. We don't need to get it again. The bad item. No, let's get, let's be clear here. Suss saw a thing that he wanted from the beginning.

Yeah. Which was the, what were the, it was the, it was the, it was, The flannel cakes? The flannel cakes. Which we ended up getting with flannel cakes. Which it looked a lot like pancakes.

I was like, are those pancakes? Yeah. And then the fact that they were maybe pancakes seemed like you wanted them more. It was interesting to me. I think it's interesting when you go to a restaurant

and they have something on the menu that seems like they should not have on the menu. It's also not part of the dessert menu. It's listed with the appetizers, but it clearly seems to be some sort of sweet treat. And it was, it came with, our version came with berries. Well, no, it's actually both on the regular menu

and then on the dessert menu. They are trying to sell. Maybe they have too many of them. probably they're they're really pushing them it was like a crap and it had a ours had berries and yogurt and they said they used to serve them at lunch and Suss really wanted these these these

crapes yeah the flannel cakes or whatever and I thought that those were going to be hot and I just wanted one hot dessert and that's I said okay you would be excited about them I love flannel cupcakes cliche

you're right I do I I I wasn't sure about them. Because I thought they were a pancake. And then I said their crepe says, hey, let's try them. They were cold.

They were served cold, which was the only downside. I had had that Sunday before, but I'm such a mench. Can you say that about yourself? I was such a mench. I was such a mench. I said,

this Sunday is so good. We've got to have it again. And let me tell you, it was so good once again. That Sunday is like one of the best Sundays. They got that caramelized banana in there. Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention a banana.

Oh, my God. It's so fucking good. And like you were saying Wags, I believe you were saying this. Just so unlike any Sunday that you usually have. Yeah, not a conventional off-stake-out stuff. I think you were saying like usually you get like chocolate in your Sunday. Right, yeah. Yeah.

Can we take it back? Sure, sure, sure, sure. So I think Wags, I think you were saying. All right, we should take our second break. We should come right back and give our Forks School. Okay. What? I don't know.

I felt like there was more. we're also against the clock. We didn't talk about our whiskey showers and then I also got myself a dyke. That's right. Dikery? Dachary? Dachary. A dykery?

What? That fuck? The year's almost over. Just fucking ended. We'll be back with our forked score review. I thought that there was like a sophisticated way to say dackery. I think it's just dacery.

Nope. I think you just said a slur instead. We'll take another break. We're right back with more doughboys. All right, welcome back to dough boys. It's time for our fork scores for Muso and Frank. So, Sussary you've done the podcast before. Your first visit, your maiden voyage to Muso and Frank,

this Hollywood institution. Your thoughts, your fork score. And it's tough. I feel like, because this is such a fancy meal, an expensive meal, it was such a treat. And you guys took me, and it was very, very nice. I appreciate it. I feel like I'm an asshole if I don't say five, four.

works. And there's a lot that's great about it. The atmosphere cannot be beat. It's a home run. The food is very good. Yeah. I think you do have to weigh the price point because it's expensive. But it also is, it's not just a meal.

It's also like a life experience. Sure. It's like going to, you know, like a, it's like stepping into the past. It's stepping, you know, it's stepping. You know, it's kind of like going to a museum. You should feel just as good about going to this restaurant than going to a museum. It's more fun than museum. I don't think.

Museum food sucks. It's true. Now that there have been a few six forkers in doughboys, I don't think it makes it to six forks. But you know what? I feel pretty good at putting it at five forks. Five forks. Very good score. Well, look, the first time I went here, it was with my dad and my mom back in the early days of Hollywood when I first moved out here.

And like I said, I wasn't blown away by the food that first time. You know, I've gone many times over. I've had one of the best stakes I've ever had in my life there. There's been great moments. It's just the experience is. is bigger than the food, but I think the food is also really fantastic now. The cocktails are great. Yes.

Suss. How many sixes have I given out so far? Just two, I believe. Was it two or three? I think it's three. Bonchon. Did you ever have a third one? Guasados?

Bonson. Gisados. Bonson, Gisados, and, oh, Zanku, you gave six forks. I've only given out one. I've given out three, which is also, I don't like that, but I've given three sixes out. I've got to say, I'm giving a fourth six today, Wags.

A six forker. Now, you've done no five and a half. No. What a restaurant. That's what I say, Wags. It's one of the best there is. I mean, come on. I think it's one of the best restaurants in the world.

For what it, the experience and for what it is, it's fucking, it rules. It's Hollywood. And I love my city. I love Hollywood, California. Hollywood's come on. Like I said, there's been a lot of tough stuff. this year. Look, for real, the world is a mess. It's a bad, it's a bad

stuff. And some bad stuff. I wasn't trying to cry about myself. I had a health scare, but I'm doing okay. What happened? The world is, the world is going through horrible stuff. It makes me sad. But, but, but, uh, most of all,

Hollywood has come under attack in the last few years. It's true. You know, I love Hollywood. I love the good history. of Hollywood and that place is that good, great, warm feeling of the history of Hollywood when you're in there. And the food is great. It transports you to another time. That salad's fantastic.

The shrimp cocktail used to be good. It slipped a little bit, but still whatever. You can have one of the best states. You get that rib-eye cap. I mean, come on. The service is, it's top of the line, Wags. The drinks. And now the memories for me, including last night.

So it's a six-forker, my fourth six-fork. I won't give out many. I mean, you've given out three this year. So I think that's an uptick. That's an uptick in six forks. That's a lot. That's a lot. But this one deserves six forks.

Okay. I think you, your fork score is your fork score. I think it's possible you're diminishing the significance of the six fork by giving it out a little too. Well, a little too casual. You're going to have to move up to seven. How to wrap up my thoughts on this restaurant on Mousso and Frank, this Hollywood Institute. Who is Mousso?

Do we talk about that? They're just the guys who founded the restaurant. Is his last name? Pretty sure it's a last name. And Frank is the last name? I mean, I should have this context. I had this earlier. I don't have it in front of me.

I believe it was. This sounds a pretty funny name. If his name is like Muso. He sounds like. like a bully. He sounds like my kind of guy is what I'm trying to say. Um, I don't know. Yeah, let's see if I can find the about page here. I think we can look this up. I feel like I would audition for a role named Muso, which I can do now. Well, now the strike is over. Okay, here's the thing. Mm-hmm. Frank is a first name. Muso was a last name. I love it.

Frank Tulay and Joseph Muso. Yeah, that wasn't even really that hard to figure out. I don't know I was a mystery. What a weird combination, two people, one of them using their first name, one of them using their last. Wildman. Nick and Mitch. I think this place is great.

I think it's fun that it's in Bosch. I think that it's, you know. That's what you think it's fun in. It's fun that it's fun. Fun that it's in Bosch. Fun that it's in once upon a time in Hollywood one of the best movies of all.

That's also fun. But I'm just saying like it's like it just, it's also fun that it exists in things like that. exists and like, you know, more just like, hey, this is this procedural that's on, that's on prime that dad's love. And they get this dude's hanging out at Bosch all the time. Bosch is hanging out rather at Muso and Frank all the time. Why are you talking about Bosch so much?

Bosch? Well, I'm not, it's not the only thing that it has, that it's referenced in. Yeah. But also, like, it's fun that it's in Bosch. I'm just, that's an independent thought. Okay, sure. I know, I agree. But it's fun that it's in Bosch.

It is fun that it's in Bosch. It's fun that it's in Bosch. I think Bosch legacy goes there too. Jesus Christ. How to sum up my thoughts on Muso and Frank this Hollywood institution? I think I will turn to. Bosch. I wish I had a quote from the actor who plays Bosch.

But I don't. What I have is a quote from, I wish I had that too. What I have is a quote from the director of the cutting satire, Don't Look Up, Adam McKay. Quote, the first time I went to Musa and Frank was because we had done Anchorman at DreamWorks, and I met Steven Spielberg. We had been chatting and he said, have you been to Muso and Frank? And I was like, no, I haven't.

And he said, you have to go. It's the oldest Italian restaurant in Hollywood. I don't think it's an Italian restaurant. They do have an Italian steakhouse. But I went with my wife and I was like, Stephen Spielberg said we have to go here again. It's fabulous. It's amazing place, but the food wasn't very good. And then I saw Spielberg again and I was like, that was a cool joint.

He was like, it's not about the food, man. Get a cocktail. Hang. So the next time we went, we got it. We were like, Musu and Franks. And then we dove to the menu more and we found the good food. It's it is about vibes. It's about hanging out there.

And it's a great, it's got great vibes. It's a great place to hang out. Again, like I mentioned, it's great that it's an oasis away from, you know, one of the most noxious parts of a city that can be oftentimes, you know, very gross and seedy like that stretch of roadway in front of the restaurant. And then you go inside and you're transported to a different time. It's a lot of fun. I think for this. Hold on. Yeah.

You saw that quote up. There's more. I was like, and then Stephen said to me, if you ever make a show about the list. Lakers don't cast Will Ferrell as Jerry Buzz. Yeah, weird. It's weird. That came from. Oh, weird.

All right. Anyway, go on. I don't think. I loved it. I don't think in a vacuum this place is a fire forker, but it does not exist in a vacuum. It's a part of, it has its legacy. Again, it's the oldest restaurant in Hollywood. It's a part of film history.

And I think if you're visiting the city, where you live in the city, Bosch goes there. I think it's worth. experiencing for that alone, even though like Mitch to the food can be up and down. So I, to me, this is a, this is a five fork experience. I would recommend anyone go to Muso and Frank. Can I interject for a second? Yeah.

Well, you're done. Yeah. But when you, when you walk into Muso and Franks, do look up and take in the history. Wow. And look for, and, oh, can I interject? And also do look around, too. It's interesting because there's a, there is a sign. You go inside and it's like you can only take photographs at your table because, you know,

celebrities are in there and they don't want paparazzi around and that's part of why, you know, a Danny Trajo is comfortable eating there. I hate the paparazzi. Those are scum. I hate the fucking paparazzi. Are we got to do a segment? No, paparzzo. You know what?

The autographs hounds. They're just selling those autographs. You know, and this also reminded me I should go, I should, Stephen and McKay and I should go to Bousson and Fras. Yeah. All right, Amelia is back. Amelia's back. So we have our, it's time for the shake part of steak and shake eight. And we've got a beverage.

We're going to decide if you should pour it down your throat. It's drink or stink, shake or ache edition. Mitch, because the sag after strike is over, we now have permission to cover the shake shack trolls banned together shakes. Oh, my God. Thank God. Under the old rules, we could not have covered this. We would have been in violation of the sag after contract, but now we can cover this promotional shake. Let me just say, thank God, twisted monthful, got cut short.

Yeah. And instead we get to do the troll shakes. Because look. Yeah. Who cares, right about my stuff? It's more about the trolls. We love trolls here on the show. Susser, are you as a bit of a troll yourself?

No. And also as a... You're trolling us at the start of the episode. I guess so. As a two-time father, have you taken in the trolls franchise? Yes, I have taken in the trolls franchise. What do you think of the trolls movie? Um, they are movies that I've probably seen like 10 times, but never all the way through.

Right, sure. But I like them. They've got some music. They're kids movies that are four kids. Got it. Which is, I think, a good. They're musical, which is good. That's fun.

Was Thomas Hayden Church going to be on the podcast? Yes. Did he confirm? I talked to him on the phone. Neff Campbell we were going to go out with. We were going to go out too. Yeah, okay. Now you're making promises for people that you're like, we haven't, we didn't book

somebody in me. We were going to try. When Ray Leota passed away. And you said that he almost was on the podcast, and it was you thought about emailing someone once. Ray Leota, and I did, I did email. I know, I did email someone. And they never responded. Anthony Mackey almost came on.

Itty? Yeah. MJ is still going to come on. The showrunner, we're going to have on. That's right. We're going to talk Swiss a episode. We're going to talk Swiss Metal, which I'm proud of. It's on Peacock now.

Check it out. We've got a... The ones we've got... Susse is already helping himself, by the way. Poppy's sugar cookie shake, which is handspun sugar cookie cookie cookie cooked cookie dough pop candy, topped with whipped with whipped cream and cotton candy. Viva's cinnamon roll shake, hand spun cinnamon roll frozen custard. He's just drinking.

Gold frosting, topped with whipped cream and can... Now is the time for him to drink while I am reading all this copy. I'm going to do it too. Viva's cinnamon roll shake, which is handspun with cinnamon roll frozen custard. He's just drinking now. Swirled with gold frosting, topped with whipped cream and gold confetti. And then finally, branches chocolate peppermint shake, which is hand-spun vanilla and chocolate frozen custard,

mixed with mint fudge, topped with whipped cream, and mint candy crunch. I have one word to describe each of these shakes individually and collectively, which is Ungapachka. I think these all have too much going on. Just in case, Amelia, got a plain vanilla and a plain chocolate. Okay, as a baseline. Yeah. Just in case one of us drank all of one of the shakes.

Yeah, or you were so infuriated by the Ungapachka that you needed something simple. I do have a napkin. I got to tell you, I agree. there's a cotton candy chunk on this that is like hard. But I'm going to say this. The shake's pretty good. I'm going to take, I think the move here is I just going to retain my own. Yeah, these are from Shake Shack.

This is the cheapest looking Shake Shack stuff I've ever seen. What do you mean? In what sense? It looks like, look at like the, there's dumb troll shit on the cups. I don't know. It just seems like a, I don't know. It's entered in the, the Shake Shack has fully gone, they've gone basically full fast food chain now, where they're just like, we're just going to have,

emotional tie-ins with the big movie that's coming out with a big kids IP and we're going to do some shake and we're going to do a dumb stupid cup for it So yeah, that's the that's the phase they are in their business model. All right, Mitch is handing over this one. Which one is this? I like that. That's a sugar cookie one. This is the sugar candy.

I don't know why, I don't know what cotton candy has a connection to sugar cookie. To me, that seems like his own thing. So you've tried each one so far. What are your thoughts? Um, if you, which one goes? I think the cinnamon roll shake I really liked. The chocolate minty one? Yeah, oh, the branches chocolate pepperminty shake

was not as impressed by that one. Sugar cookie shake is not bad. It's got some decent, you know, I think there's some decent texture through the straw here. And I kind of like the sugar cookie custard. Good flavor. It's not, I was worried it was going to taste

kind of Play-Dohy, but it kind of has its own character. All right, I'm going to move on to the cinnamon roll shake. What did you all think of the cinnamon roll shake? I thought that was so far. It's been my favorite of the munch. Look, can I say something to invoke a different character from the Austin Powers franchise? When it comes to food, I don't love gold. I don't need gold flakes and gold leaf and all that shit.

And any food I'm going to eat. I believe that as rappers. I pull the wire. When did he ever? I'm covered in. Oh my God. Jesus. I don't know how it was.

How did that happen? It was in your straw, you fool. Yeah, because this. idea of keeping your own straw. That's not it. Thank you, Emma. There's also now, I'm just showing the camera that there's now chocolate on the top of the

I think I'm going to keep those as our personal doughboys paper towels. It's a good call. They're just fucking covered in shit. They're fucking stained paper towels. Chocolate, whatever. I thought this was, this one's kind of sciencey, the cinnamon roll shake. I don't love it. I love the gold frosting.

Should I have waited for my really serious health concerns to talk about them while you were covered in shake and stay. Or should I have done at the top where Wigo was covered in coffee? You fucking slobs. Actually, can you hand me the paper towels, Mitch? And then

hand me that, the third one, the chocolate peppermint when you get a chance. Don't worry about the chair says I'll get it later. All right. Here's something funny. Thanks, buddy. Here's something funny. This regular chocolate shake is not that great. Has Shake Shack fallen off in the shake department?

Wow. It's just very icy. You'll see. I mean, I'm probably not going to have any. Give it a sip. Come on, give it a sip. Fuck. Just use my straw.

Hold on. I would let me take this one first. Horrible virus that you have. Did I have maybe a virus that made me go insane? Yes, but still, just try it. I hate this. Yeah. Tog of peppermint is disgusting.

It's icy. That's a, that's a hard. to a stank or a ache. Remember, use the straw. All right, here we go. I'm going to have a little bit of the chocolate now. Duster, how often do you have a shake? A few times a day.

I don't know how often I have a milk, you're pretty rarely. There is something that I like a lot, but they also just, there's certain foods that I just feel like, well, that's an insane thing to eat. Exactly, as always, and they're, like, expensive to get out a lot of times, and also I feel like I'm just 100% can have diarrhea. Yeah.

And I'm just like, it's not worth it. But I like them a lot, but I don't. This is your favorite? The sugar cookie. Yeah. Sugar cookie is my favorite. No, the sugar cookies is my favorite. Do you like the...

You like the cinnamon roll. Oh, no, yeah, I did like the cinnamon roll. I didn't like that one. I agree with why. It's a chemical. Yeah, it takes... Yeah. I mean, all of these, but these are very much like for kids.

That's the thing. You know what? I'm going to give these all stanks. I'm going to give this collectively stinks because this is, this is not for me. This is for gentlemen. If you really, if you really... If you're really into the trolls franchise and you want to, I guess, taste the trolls,

then, you know, have them in shake form at ShakeShack. But I don't need to have this again. I'd much rather have this regular chocolate one. Which one is my star? Oh, whatever. I'm done with Shakes. I'm going to have any more shakes. I disagree.

I think that the sugar cookie one is a drank. That's the only one I like. So I guess if I was going to break them off individually, I would say that one was a, is a drink or is a shake. Or is an ache? And the other, the other two are. You try the child one? Was it a little too icy? That's fine.

I didn't think it was too icy. I think they're all pretty good. I mean, they're not good. I think that I... They're pretty good. They're not good. They're fine. I mean, like, this is even...

This is good. I mean, they're... If you got one of those, but, like, you got a burger there, and that's the shake you got, and that was the drink, the shake you were going to have with your meal. Would you be happy with that? I think in that context, you'd be a little bit like, I don't need this thing. I think having a taste of it, Maybe it's okay, but I don't know.

I would want to commit fully to any of these flavors. I didn't try the vanilla one. Okay. Mitch is going to have the vanilla one. That was drink or stank, shake or ache edition. Just like a restaurant of our feedback. It was up with the feedback. And today we have an email from Tom V.

Tom writes, by the way, Tom spelled with an H. Do you like that? No. I don't know. I don't care for any of it. I think it's fine. T-H-O-M. Yeah.

I don't like it. Yeah. Anyway, Tom V writes, If you could move any holidays around, where would you put them? Wow. Big open-ended question. Here's the thing. I feel like there's a stretch of the year where there aren't any days off of work.

And I feel like you... Jesus. Don't worry about it. You know what? You know what I think the move I think it would make? I think you move Labor Day. I don't want to just move something. Because I think people should have more days off in general.

But I think if you could... I would say move Labor Day to May Day, which is when the rest of... the world celebrates it. And then you got another May holiday, another summer month holiday. The Labor Day weekend is fun, though, but it feels like it's turned into more of a sales thing than a day off.

Here's my thing. New Year's too close to Christmas. Give me a little, give me a little bit more weekle room. Which one would you move, though? Oh, I got to swap it with something? Yeah, because you got to move it elsewhere in the year. All right, New Year's swaps with Halloween.

So Halloween comes right after. I think you can just move it to another time. Yeah, that's to be a number. another time that holiday exists. All right. New Year swaps to January 31st. So January is part of the previous year. Why not in the middle of the summer?

That's actually kind of more fun, right? Summer New Year? Yeah. But, like August 1st? As a new year. Isn't it a cozy New Year pretty fun too? I like Christmas's cozy holiday. But like New Year's, you try to go out and do stuff,

and it's always shitty weather and cold and freezing and snowing. so it would be nice to be able to go out and party with people and not potentially crash your car on the way there. That's pretty good. I'm just going to say this is the obvious thing that's a problem. Thanksgiving and Christmas are too close together. Right. And thanks.

Look, we've hit the stretch. We're in the stretch right now. So I think Thanksgiving moves to March. Pretty good. I kind of, that's not so bad. The positioning in the air. Is that part of the year January to March is so fucking miserable to like put something fun in the middle of it? Yeah, that's, yeah, right.

the Super Bowl, you get Thanksgiving, that's kind of fun. Well, you get Valentine's Day in between. Spend some time with you, sweetie. Then what the fuck at? Who gives a shit about that? What happens to, but what it goes on in November? There's nothing. I think you just got a dead stretch.

It is no, it is no, not November, which is every year, I guess. Yeah. Halloween, but Halloween has that whole, like the whole season. And then that probably bleeds into November a little bit. And then you've got a little bit more, like, just Christmas ramp up. I think they should move it in my. But then also on, like on the day that's Thanksgiving and November, I'm still going to have, like, turkey and gather with friends and family. Well, couldn't you also?

Does that seem like it's cheating? There is, there is something, though, kind of fun of the year-end sequencing of end of October's Halloween, end of November is Thanksgiving, end of Christmas is, or end of December's Christmas. It's kind of like you've like, oh, each month kind of has its own, you know, is like a land in nightmare before Christmas. Yeah. You know, I kind of like that does. I think that the summer is just missed. I think the summer is missing. on July 4th.

Yeah, but you know. Flight 4th is kind of whack. Maybe that's it. That's kind of fun. Yeah, there really isn't an August holiday. And what is in June? Memorial Day? Maybe we should move no nut November to August.

Yeah, that's a good idea. That's pretty good. No nut August? No bust August? No bust August? Yeah. I can't think of an A word. aching

aching balls August is what I was going to say but balls doesn't really work and it's just disgusting sounding Well again bust is in bust and guster you know rhyme So no bust August

No bust August To me kind of works I don't know It's not maybe not Pitt It's not as sonorous It's no nut November No flogist

No flogist No flogging you're good Gonna flog your fucking rod For 31 days That's also the added challenge because it's a 31-day month. So you've got to make an extra day without flogging your meat.

I think that's fucked up. Here, you know what? I got an idea. I would move, I think that June, we should move January 6th to June. Oh, God. Can I ask a general question

just about November? Sure. And I just want to get everyone's takes. Is edging a violation of the spirit of no November? Or is that okay? No, it's okay. You think it's okay

I think it's a violation Because I think you're like trying to get away I'm not nothing what It's like the I'm not touching you Like you know I don't know I'm you got somewhere to go What the fuck's going on over here?

No I'm thinking Okay Seems like you want to get the fuck out of here A little bit We're almost done I guess it depends on if you enjoy edging or not Like some people might find that miserable In which case I guess they can do it

But if you like edging you're violating it I think so too I think if you're having it trying to get away with jacking off by just edging and I'm coming. I just got to interject you for two seconds. Take Sussarov for dinner tonight. Stakehouse he's never been to. He made a video.

Emma, did you make the videos earlier today? He made a song, Amelia's saying, what the fuck did you do? Besides, interrupt my shit, you fucking asshole. We're keeping a positive this year. Oh, fuck you. It's me taking it. I'm making it negative this year and saying,

Great to be here, guys. As always, I had a blast. I love going to dinner. I love chatting with you guys. I love, you know, needle in you a little bit, but it's all in good fun. Anything you like to plug?

Sure. I wrote on Season 2 of Killing It on Peacock. A lot of Doe Boys guests. have been actors not the least of which is Mike Mitchell as Dean Trovia in two episodes very funny Claudia O'Darity

co-created by Luke Del Tertry and Doe Boy's guest Dan Gore One of the funniest shows Tim Heideker All sorts of Doe Boys guests in this most recent season is on Peacock is a lot of fun and if Doe Army gets in there

you know who knows what could happen It's one of the funniest shows on TV I've suss I had a blast filming that and watch it on peacock. I'm going to plug that too. I'm going to plug it with you. And also I wrote a, along with Van Robo show, I wrote a ride

at Universal Orlando. That's Villancon Minion Blast. If you visit Universal Orlando, you can play this, you can go on this ride. That's a lot of fun. That's awesome. So those are two things to plug and

also Bosch. They got Bosch. And Mitch, you have something to plug as well. Weig's, we had to cut some stuff out of the Stephanie Beatrice episode. That's right. Who is a fabulous actor and Twist a Metal, the star of the show. And we have that clip.

If you keep listening, you can listen to the part of the episode we had to cut out because we talk about Twist the Metal. And now you can listen. There you go. So stick around. A little gear end bonus. That'll be at the very end of the episode. Check it out. There you go.

Well, I guess before we end the episode, I forgot something. I had a little gift for you. Oh, great. We're back. There's more. I... Glad we're still doing this. I've been through some shit.

I'm dealing with some stuff. 40 minutes late. I've been trying to clear out, you know, I've been trying to clear out my place a little bit, get on top of stuff. Uh-huh. Waving to our next guest. That's right. I found something that probably was gifted to me from someone on the podcast, but it reminded me of me and you. and I want to give it to you to have for this next year.

I think you could put it on your bag. I think you'll like it. And it's a, it's Sonic dressed up as Mario. Wow, what a crossover event. That's from Friday Pinco. Friday pins on Instagram. I take back everything I said.

That was good. I'm glad we came back for this. That's sick as hell. Merry Christmas. What a crossover. You know, a little Christmas spirit at the end. Merry Christmas. Did you get me something?

No. Okay. You don't celebrate Christmas. That's true. Wow. Gotta go fast. More like got a dough fast. Bye.

Let's a go. More like let's a dough. Let's talk about twisted metal. Mitch. Now we're talking about. You work together in this show. You're in this show together. Tell us about it.

What do we expect? It's cool. It's rules. It rules. And you're great in it. You're great in it too. No, that's, you're being nice. I'm not.

You're cool and funny as hell in the show. Thank you. You don't, and it's great. I was saying this yesterday, you do, you do a thing where you don't, until the second episode, you don't say a word. This is coming out after, this is coming out the day. Why, because this drops the day it comes out.

Wow. But your performance, even when you're not speaking, is great. You do so much work just without saying, in that first episode, without saying a word. Well, it's amazing how present you can be when you're not trying to think of your fucking lines. It's funny because I would, we, we saw a screening of the first, two episodes last night, Weggs, and I loved it. It was great.

But I was watching myself off camera. Oh, that's nice thing. It did. It crushed. That's, but I was looking at myself, like, when I wasn't acting in a scene, I was like, like, my, like, it was like landing on my nose. No. Get the hell out of here.

But I'll tell you this, Wags, the show was great and she's great in it. And it was hot as hell in New Orleans. It was. It was a lot of, I mean, it's like demolition derby, you know, somebody, compared to like Fury Road Mad Max meets. To me it's very like bugs bunny stupid humor. It's really stupid. It's the kind of stuff where you're

in the middle of a laugh almost embarrassed that you're laughing at it. And Mitch is involved? So stupid. Yeah. So weird. Are you question because there was laughs? No, I said because it's so That's your tone. So stupid that it's funny. That's my tone. That's my favorite place. It's also very dark. It's like super gallows humor.

You know, very, very, very dark. That's the thing that I think that there's been a lot of, look, there's people who love the game and they're very protective of it. And I get that. We both played the game. Yeah. And so I get it. I get being protected. Actually, I think the last one I played was Twisted Metal Black for PlayStation 2.

Oh, Twisdwell black. Yeah. Well, why? I got news for you. Twist Metal 1 and 2 are on PlayStation Plus. Hey, there you go. So if you want a plus. Snip-snap.

That's on there right now. But people were like, oh, like, this is going to be like, you're going to be like, you're And I'm like, first of all, the show looks incredible. It looks like they spent a lot of money on it, which they did, I believe. And it's gory as hell. It's gory. It's so violent. Yeah, it's so violent.

It's like shockingly violent. I was doing ADR and MJ, our showrunner, Michael Jonathan Smith, who wrote on Korpakai. So it's that kind of like silly humor. He was like, oh, do you want to watch part of the episode? And it was the episode where you guys are in the DMV. Oh, yeah. Sweet Tooth, one of the beloved characters from the game, comes in and wreaks havoc. And, like, it was, I was like, ugh, whoa, ugh.

Like, it's really, I mean, to me, I haven't seen anything that violent on TV since I watched Squid Game. Wow. It's like that. It's at that level of, like, blo. Like, it's gnarly. There was a scene last night where a guy jumps on to Anthony Mackey's car, and then the gun goes up between his legs, and they just shoot him through his crotch. His butt hole on his balls. Yeah.

But it's funny. It's funny. There's a joke afterwards. I don't know how to explain it. It's hard to explain to people. It's very much in the style of Twisted Metal had dark humor like that too. And it's like Deadpool. It's that sort of like very violent but also really silly, goofy humor.

You know, Deadpool would like some of the food we had at home state. He loves Chimichangas. Oh, Jesus Christ. Deadpool does love Chimichangas. Wags is not lying. I'm not telling the truth. You're talking about twisted metal. No.

Toitie podcast here that we're doing. Boitie tooty. But I, I, I, how did you feel going to, I mean, I guess in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, you probably did some act, you did a lot of action stuff. I did a little action. Yeah, but it was, yeah, it was a Fox show. It was, you know, it was like, this is crazier stuff. We did, we did, we definitely did have action.

I think most of it was focused on Andy's character, Jake Baralta. You know, oftentimes the dudes get a lot more of the action stuff. It's sort of just part of the patriarchal system that we're in. But also he was a lead, so I get it. But I wanted to do more. I really was hungry to do more. And when I heard about this series, I heard about this series through my agents,

and then MJ called me and sort of talked me through it, and I asked if I could read it all. And then I read it all. I started reading it, and I couldn't stop. I read all 10 episodes basically in one day. And I started reading them out loud to my sister and husband. And I was like, oh, what the fuck? I was just losing it.

I've read them all too. They're really good. They're really good. It's great. It's a lot of fun. It's really bizarre and weird and cool. And the world that he kind of, it's like a sort of expanded world from the games. That was my thought about it too.

Michael Jonathan and Smith, he loves the games. He loves the games. I've been lurking on the subreddit why, because I've been, on the twist of mouth. Oh, do you stay out of there? I know. I know I should stay out of there, but I'm really,

I want to see what people think about it. And people are like, oh, they didn't do this or they didn't do that. I'm like, wait till you see, he does everything you want to do. You've seen a trailer. You see a trailer. Shut the fuck up, for God's sakes.

But I, I'm with you. I thought that it was, I think that the show is a lot of fun and you're great in it. And we had some, we had some scenes together. Yeah, we did. We had quite a few scenes together, actually. You kind of stab my character in the back a little,

but I guess you could say. You kind of deserve it I do kind of deserve it I'm not like 100% A great guy I guess And so I'm all right Nobody in this world This is 100%

No one everyone is But we were even doing Like we were pushing a car We were like we pushed a car together We did a bunch of shit The scenes in the well I guess this is coming This will be out today After

Yeah Some point after where you've already watched it So you won't get any spoilies But there was like a bunch of We had a bunch of cool locations. We shot it all in New Orleans. There were a ton of cool locations. We were at the Louis Armstrong Airport.

That was wild. That's right. The shutdown part of the airport, which was really cool. It was like very ghosty in there. We had to get like, didn't we, we had to, like, give in like our, like, ID information. Like, it was like basically going to the airport. No, it was like going to the airport. Like going to the airport except this part of the airport that no one's in.

Yeah. It was. It was ghost. Because across the way, we just saw planes. There was like planes across the way. And we were down below and where, like, the back, we were, we were, we were, this is. This is true. We were in like the baggage area where they put the bags on.

Whoa. We saw how the sausages made. Yeah. It was cool. It was very cool. It was a lot of it. It was very like shooting in New Orleans is really interesting because there are parts of the city that are just, they'll never kind of come back because of Katrina. And like so we shot in some of these parts of like freeway entrances that don't get used anymore.

Again, really ghosty, a lot of like ghosty feeling kind of vibes. There was a house that we shot at. You didn't shoot that day, but there was this house that was so fucking creepy. It was definitely haunted. Like, definitely haunted. Look, I was, I was, what was the place called that I was, I said it. I said it before. What are you talking about?

The hotel I was at was a, uh, Lydian Express. No, it was the Hampton, Hampton Inn. Hampton Inn. It was a Hampton Inn. And it was like an old building. So the first day I was there, I was in a room that I thought was haunted. in the Hampton Inn. So I was not,

New Orleans is like extremely ghostly and haunted. I felt that a lot down there. The city, it's called the Crescent shitty. Shitty? The Crescent shitty? No, no, it's not. I'm sorry, New Orleans.

It's called the Crescent City, but it's also kind of shaped like a bowl. Like the way the city is shaped, it's shaped like a bowl. So there's this element of like, if you die there, how do you kind of climb out of the bowl? Yeah.

You know, there's like a lot of like, It does collect energy and like... 100%. Yeah. Richard Cabral, who plays one of the characters in the show. He plays my brother. He had all these, like, really interesting theories about, like, spirits and fucking vibes and how things, like, stay in the city.

And he was like, I gotta get out of here, man. He was ready to go by the end of his shoot. That's truly at the hotel on the first day. I was like, this is spooky. But you guys also, you shot at a... I didn't shoot here, but they shot at a... Shut down theme park. Whoa.

It was. That's super ghosty. Crazy. And there was gators fucking coming out. There were fucking gators just walking across the way that. People were like, be careful. There's gators. There's live gaiters.

We were like, what? Careful now, mine the gator. That's what they did do that for real. Mine the Gator, Polo King. Wait a minute. The security guard is a gator in disguise. I'll fool you. Basically.

Secret gator. It was tricking the book down in the bayou. The old secret data. But yeah, I think you're fantastic in the show, and I think that people are going to really... I also like that the show was fun. It looks... Yeah, you know, having seen the trailer,

it has that great sense of fun. I've heard this from people who've seen the episodes as well. Fucking watch it. Trust me, for once. Would you watch the show? Yeah, you should watch the show. You should watch the show. It's funny and fun.

And, like, what the fuck are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What the fuck are you doing? You're jacking off. I've already watched all of Vanderpump rules. It's also on peak up. Just watch it.

Jack off to your boy, Stu. Can I ask real quick? Can I ask about an actor I'm a huge fan of that is in the show, Thomas Hayden Church. Did you have any interactions with him? Did you work with him at all? Love that guy. Many of your scenes were with him. I thought that I was going to see him even more and then I hung out with Samoa Joe quite a bit.

But I thought that I thought that because like the first week or so I was like ready to be best buddies I was so ready to be like he's like he's like and he was telling me he's like I yeah I looked at your IMDB is like dough boys he like mentioned dough boys I'm like why is that on an IMDB? Because fucking our idiot listeners put it on there like why is that so intense though like why is that so intense to think about him like being like yeah I looked at your IMDB it feels me with fear. Yeah he's so good he's so he has a presence. He does have a presence. But everyone, the...

Intimidating. You guys, I mean, you and Neff Campbell and Anthony Mackey and Thomas, come on. You know, I... You know, I had a scene where my character was supposed to spit in Thomas's face. Oh, my God. And it was COVID, you know, like a lot of COVID regulations. We were still doing that kind of stuff before we didn't have to really anymore. And so I'm spitting, like, way over, you know, like way over.

And it doesn't look right and blah, blah, blah. And so, like, we're going to do it one more time. Like, just get a little closer. but don't really spit. I fucking spit in his face, man. I hit him right in the eye. Oh, my God. It was so mortifying.

I felt myself like meltdown. And he just kept going because he's like a pro. But in my mind, I was like, I just spit in Oscar nominee Thomas Hayden Church's face. Like in his face.

That is crazy. Were they shooting his side too? Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Wow. That's so funny. Oh, hey.

That was a pretty good spin. He was like, he was like, for a second, he was pissed. He was like a little piss. But then he was, he was totally cool about it. Yeah.

Yeah. Wow. That's wild. He's really intimidating to, he also like, he's interesting. Every scene that would end after the scene

to act or would spit in my face. Which I don't know if it was connected to what we did in the scene. It definitely was. It was about your actual personality and acting. Wow. Of course. Both.

Both things. Both. He was, that, he, he was gray in, And I had a blast working. I love working with Samoa Joe, too. Yeah, he was great.

He was great. And you spent a lot of time with Anthony. You and Mackey were together. It was me and Mackey a lot of the time together because we're in a car. So, you know, the show is basically about the haves and the have-nots and the haves have cars. Mm-hmm. And it was him driving and me sitting shotgun for the majority of the shoot. And it was, you know, hot as fuck.

Anthony sweats. Oh, what? She's sweat, so I don't really sweat. So the combination of those two things, I didn't. But did you see me? Like, I wasn't really sweaty on camera. You weren't sweaty and I was always. You were.

It was hot. I'm glad everyone noticed that. I think wardrobe at one point, who wardrobe was great. The wardrobe department was fantastic. But at one point I had a, I had like a kind of a beige brown shirt on and they would like get a change of a shirt. And then eventually they're like, it's just going to be like dark brown now. Just leave it wet. because they were probably

to do. And Joe is like, they're like, we need Joe sweating the scene. And then we were in his ice cream truck wags. This is, you'll like this fact. An old U.S.

postal service truck. Oh. That was redone to be an ice cream truck. Here's the crazy thing about that. No AC in a lot of those postal service trucks. Right. That's a goddamn. So it would be like 100.

It was so fucking hot in that truck. It was crazy. We would just sweat up immediately. Yep. Your guy's car wasn't, I don't think you guys had AC in that thing. No. We had.

We had a sea that was dusty and had no coolant. And then we also couldn't run it during the scenes because you can't run it when you're shooting. And then finally they put some cool in it and they turned it on and it like blew a shit ton of dust in my face. I took video of that. It was not a glamour. I mean, I tell you what. You know, one of the things that always pisses me off about watching action is when the women in action have like this perfectly quaffed, like, waved hair. You know what I'm talking about?

Like the action wave? I fucking love that. I hate that shit, man. I fucking hate it. And so the first day in the makeup trailer, in the hair makeup trailer, I was like, look, I'm not usually a diva, but I am going to be a diva about this. I want to look dirty. I want to look like

it's the post-apocalyptic time. This is set in. I want to look like my hair hasn't been washed and my face is kind of scrungy. I want to look like I took the end of a match, burned it, and and like rub the soot on my eyes as makeup. And that's what they did.

I look, I look, that's how I look in the series. That's, that, and that's how you're supposed to look. You're supposed to look like it. I was telling you earlier that. We watched the first two episodes last night again. I've already said that, but I was, I was saying to you like the thing that was harder for me to watch is like, I was like, I kind of just look like shit. But that's what you're supposed to look like. You have to look like shit, man.

You're supposed to look like shit. Is there any, does your character interact with any food? Because look, it's a food podcast-wise. I'm trying to tie it back to food. I'll say this. Love that. When I make up my appearance on the scene, why, because I am food, I'm about to be eaten. That's right.

And then Anthony Mackey also eats a seal. Yep. But do you have any food interactions? Oh, we have a whole scene that's in a burger joint. Yeah. We had a whole scene that was shot in a burger joint, an abandoned burger joint. In the show, there's like a sect of people that have decided that the second coming will be the burger lords. Sort of.

Like that. Not the restaurant in Highland Park. We should sign up for it. But we're trapped in this like, we're sort of trapped in this burger joint and we find a couple burgers in the freezer along with maybe some bodies. Oh, yeah. And we eat those burgers. And we shot for quite a while in that burger joint. It was hot in there as well.

This brings up a good point. Why? You should tell her your thing about human flesh, if you wouldn't mind. You would eat it. I would, yeah, I would eat human flesh. Oh, no. Look, when anytime I've read first person accounts of eating. eating a person,

they have said, like, it is, like, the sweetest meat. Oh, my, so I wouldn't, I wouldn't want to, I wouldn't want to go out of my way, but if it was like,

hey, no, hold on, he wouldn't go out of his way. But it was a situation where it's like, hey, this is the, this is a person.

Unbelievable. You want to eat some. Try it. I try to warn you that the podcast is bad and we're both weird. Oh, my God. That's so funny.

Oh, my God. Also, here's a question. How did I even come on. Up in your conversations. When were you like, so would you like eat a calf? I think that he honestly just brought up cold turkey. Yeah. How fuck.

Hey Mitch. I'd like to eat a person. Here's, they get served on the show. They get served white tiger because they're at, they're at a casino. That was gross. Would you, oh, it was like the actual meat gross? Well, it was actual white tiger and it was disgusting. Wow.

It was just like slightly undercooked because I needed to look. And I'm like a very much, I got to have my steak well done. I know it's not the way that's supposed to happen. Interesting. Okay. I got a well done my steak because my mom would undercooked steak or overcook it and it just fucked me up for life. So in that scene where I look, I'm really, that's some of the best acting my career.

Like I was like, you're mortified? Yeah, I was not having it. But I look like I am. Wow. That was great acting. A great acting throughout. Would you eat white tiger? If cooked properly

If cooked so I think it would Prepared for you You would do it I mean this like like We've been in a situation I don't really I try not to eat meat in general But if we're in a situation

We're sharing food And you're like I'm gonna throw out the rest of this I'm not to eat meat in general But I'd eat a human meat I did a person Here's the problem This is the problem You are starving yourself for meat

And now you've got a taste for fucking humans Is that what happens? I think that's what happened All right You want sweet tooth would get along great It is an awesome cast I mean like everything I've seen looks really great A ton of people

A ton of funny people are in it A ton of funny people have written for it We're part of the writing staff The past O' Boys' guests And people should check it out All episodes are on Peacock Anything else about the show that we missed? Anything else you want to cover?

No, you should watch it. Did we say that? I think one of the things I think I'm excited for people to see is how smart it is And I know it's very dumb like dumb humor. But there's a very, he doesn't,

the writing staff on that show doesn't dumb things down. It figures that you are smart enough to figure out the story behind the story. And I prefer television that doesn't assume that I'm an idiot. Sure. And I think this is that kind of TV.

Like, you're caught up in this fun story, but you're also, there's like a little sense, your little sense in the back of your brain that like, maybe this is about more than just this. This is kind of like about what we're living right now. Yeah.

Kind of the opposite of the doughboy stance where we think our listeners are dumb as fuck. Yeah, there's cars in it, you fucking idiots. You like that, right? Like people driving around, fucking fighting, you dipshits, check it out. You're right. It's analogous to the bad world we live in many ways.

But it's great. I think people don't know what it is yet and are like, who's in the middle of the show? I think they're going to be blown away and be blown away by you and you're so funny and great. It's real nice. That's real nice. It's just the truth. Thanks, friend.

Well, congrats on the show. Thanks. And I'm excited to check it out myself. You better fucking watch it. I will watch it. You think am I going to watch it? I'll support my friend's projects. All right.
