Starting point is 00:00:00 Glenn Bell's eponymous taco shop has become such a brand in and of itself that few even realize its connection to his own name. But his south of the border inspired fast food eatery was not his first foray into the restaurant business. When earlier efforts to establish a burger slash hot dog stand in San Bernardino, California earned a tepid response, Bell sought inspiration from a nearby spot popular with a local Latino population. He conveniently omitted the name of the restaurant from which he crypt his business plan and
Starting point is 00:00:30 his personal history, but it was later discovered by food writer Gustavo Ariano to be legendary restaurant Meat La Café. To cite Ariano, quote, what did Bell know about Mexican food other than it was an opportunity to make millions, end quote. At a time when tacos were far from commonplace, even in Southern California, Bell hatched a corporate espionage scheme detailed by writer Farley Elliott as such, quote, the entrepreneur befriended staff and family alike, working his way into the kitchen in order to decipher the secrets behind the beguiling taco, end quote.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Despite the questionable ethics of his culinary plagiarism, Bell's own version was a hit both locally and nationwide, and more than any individual, he was responsible for the spread of an indisputably sanitized version of Mexican food across the globe. As for Meat La Café, it's still an operation, 80 years since its founding and its twin legacies carry on, its generations of loyal San Bernardino patrons and its food, appropriated by a man who stamped it with his own name. This week on Doe Boys, we return to Taco Bell. Welcome to Doe Boys, the podcast about chain restaurants.
Starting point is 00:01:49 I'm Nick Weigar, alongside my co-host, really little dicky, Mitchie Two Spoons, Mike Mitchell. Okay. Really little dicky. Really little, like the idea of taking that guy's name and then making it literal, in your case. Those are courtesy of Fabian Kearns. If you have an insult you'd like me to use them at the top of the show, roastspoonmanageemail.com is the address.
Starting point is 00:02:06 I just auditioned for a little dicky show. Did you really? Uh-huh. What's your... Guess what? Knocked it out of the park. Yeah. What part are you playing?
Starting point is 00:02:15 Proud or a little dicky's property? A role that I already was told I didn't get. I didn't knock. I'm scared. Well, my guest is looking. Look, today is a day that I'm going to get. I'm not going to win at the end of this episode. If that makes sense.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Well, nobody wins at the end of these episodes. It's a waste of everyone's time. And I was going to say, how to how to Mitchie Two Spoons nation. I can't look. Oh my God. It's super full up of chili cheese fries and then have a boner and jack off with your hand. Oh, well, I didn't know what direction that was going off to a great start.
Starting point is 00:03:22 That was me. I actually liked that. That was well done. That was a little nice little bit of sync work on the audio side. Dear Mr. Two Spoons, this drop is only 30 seconds long. Your friend, Jeff Oakley. Thanks, Jeff. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Took a took me me humming the Riddler's revenge theme from memory from the Six Flags Magic Mountain attraction and synced it up to the actual song. Yeah. Well, some people might have contact. Okay. That's a good point. Look, I'm nervous about today. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:49 You're a little nervous about it. Well, let's introduce. Sorry. It's already been. All right. Yeah. Let's let's introduce her from love and community. Her new film life of the party is in theaters now.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Gillian Jacobs is here. Hi, Gillian. Hello. Hello. Hi. You guys had a little frockus before we got started. I forced my way into Mitch's room, which was look, here's the here's the deal. I spent 45 minutes to an hour cleaning my apartment today, 45 minutes to an hour.
Starting point is 00:04:18 I usually spend about 20 minutes cleaning. I actually did clean. I scrubbed the toilet. I like I did everything like I really, I really say that was like 43 of the 45 minutes. I mopped. I mopped in every room that you'd be in and I was like, man, I got a ton of mail I got to go through and I got some laundry in my room and I'm like, you know what? It's fine.
Starting point is 00:04:45 She won't go in there. And I was like, but there's a chance she might go and then you got here and like a missile, you seeked it out immediately and went into my room and it gave me a panic attack because I didn't want you in there. I wanted to see the cats and you saw Irma. Yeah. Lolly was hiding because he gets a little scared. I've been seeing video surveillance footage of these cats for three years.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Okay. That's true because Mitch will watch them at work. Right. Shine the laser pointer at them from your app when I should be learning lines. I was looking at my cat. So I really want to see them and he told me he was going to hide them in his room. So of course I have to go in his room right and you saw the picture of Armin above my bed.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Yep. And you saw a large soda next to my a large soda from Del Taco next to my bed. Okay. Wait, what'd you get from Del Taco? It was it was late night on Saturday night. So I got a couple. You know what I like to get is the chicken rollers. I got a couple chicken rollers.
Starting point is 00:05:40 What is a chicken roller? They're kind of like a little mini like like little burritos or wraps. They're good. Great. Nothing kind of similar to what you got today. Oh boy. Which which we can then there was a then there was a crazy thing that happened with Taco Bell, which we're talking about today.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Right. Yeah. What should we get to that later? We'll get to that. Okay. Just to talk about that your guys is little us scrum earlier. So me and Emma are in your living room while this is going on. And all we're hearing is that you and Gillian Gillian is trying to see your cats and we
Starting point is 00:06:14 just hear you yelling in your bellowing voice, get out of here repeatedly like setting the cat. I eat. They hear me. All that all the time. What's going on? They intrude on my personal time. You yell at the cats.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Get out of here. I never yelled the cats. I love the cats and I was we know and Irma Irma, they look while he got scared, he went in the closet. There was no chance you were going to see them. Why you just wanted to promise me the cat. I'm going to show you. I'm going to find Wally and get him shown.
Starting point is 00:06:49 But why was it such an ordeal? Like why couldn't you just brought my room up? I could have brought the cats out of top. She wanted to go to my room and see his room. It's a mess right now. It wasn't that bad. I've seen it worse. It was pretty bad.
Starting point is 00:07:02 It's like a dorm room vibe. Yeah. But totally fine. Every dorm room has a picture of their best friend with hearts around it. Yeah. Above their bed. I mean, you don't have a headboard, but you do have a bed frame. Your mattress is not on the ground.
Starting point is 00:07:17 That's right. It's pretty good. Yeah, it's pretty good. You know, that that bed got steamrolled in what that what's going on. You were the first. You were the first guest on the what's going on pilot. That's how we first met. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:30 That's true. Wow. And this was in case anyone who's listening doesn't know what the show was. It makes this was a fake. This was a talk. I mean, I just said fake talk show, but it was a real talk show. You hosted the UCB stage and the premise was that like with this show, but to a more heightened level, you weren't prepared at all.
Starting point is 00:07:47 No one told you what was going. What was going to happen? No one told me what was going to happen. The guests were surprised. The monologue jokes were surprised. The sketches were surprised. You only came out. You know what?
Starting point is 00:07:56 You continue to make me nervous to this day. I know we started strong, continued strong and we're going to end strong. We we I said this before I was very lucky to work with you on love. I told I said this to you that you're like the Michael Jordan of acting and I was like a fan in the stands who was pulled down to play, but we had a very we had some fun together. We had so much fun together. We did. You know, ironically, Michael Jordan, not the Michael Jordan of acting is a little
Starting point is 00:08:26 stiff. But yeah, no true. So the Mitch is the Michael Jordan of acting in the in the not literal sense I am in the literal sense. I don't know. Mitch is great. There's one episode where he had to get really mad at me. I was going to bring this out.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Okay, bring it up. I had to get really mad at Gillian and we did a take of it and she's like, you're not getting mad enough and I was like, yeah, I am and she was like, no, you're not. And then she's some of that tricky, witchy method act and she said you need to get mad at me. I started to get really. I got real. I got.
Starting point is 00:09:09 I got a real deal annoyed right and then I yelled at her big and then I realized after the fact. Oh, that would help. It helped me get into the character. I got real. I did get really mad at her. Is that the and yelled at her? Is that the take they used in the show?
Starting point is 00:09:21 The one where steam is shooting out of your ears? I think probably. Oh, I think it is the take that they use in the show. Very I was right. Yeah, you needed to get more angry. Yeah, and it worked. I can get him angry. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:34 No shit. I should have just thought of you and it would have been fun. I was. I couldn't get mad at you and then I got that you got me mad and then it worked out. It was great. You know what's funny? I when it the next scene, I went around to all these little food stands at the mall and I didn't need any help with that scene, tasting a bunch of different foods from different
Starting point is 00:09:55 little parts in the mall with the whole mall day. What fun? What fun? What fun? What fun we had? Which mall were you filming in? Isn't it Topanga? Yeah, I think it was Topanga.
Starting point is 00:10:05 All right. Yeah. There's this one in. I've shot things in a little bit in the little Tokyo mall. Oh, we were not there. No. Opposite. That's what I thought of.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Nope. Yeah. Well, I was wrong. Yeah. Are you really sad that we don't get to acting together anymore? Yeah. I mean, also because I'll probably never be able to act across the way that I do that book something.
Starting point is 00:10:25 You're still booking things. What? What? He said across from me. Oh, I see. I see. I think you might get that opportunity. Why wouldn't you?
Starting point is 00:10:33 Hmm. Why don't you write something for the two of us? Hmm. Randy's excellent adventures. Love. The love spin. No, not something where you have to get the rights and clearances to an existing property.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Hmm. Stay out of my room. A movie about someone who tries to see my room. We can go into our reenactment. Based in reality, people are always looking for a pitch that has some element of realism. Yeah. There you go. Gilean, you're from Pittsburgh, as my understanding, suburban Pittsburgh area.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Correct. So, and then you went to school in NYC, but I want to talk about the Pittsburgh food scene a little bit. Well, I did his research. Oh, I can open a Wikipedia tab. So, like, I think people have a pretty specific idea of the food that's available in Philly, but I think Pittsburgh, where our buddy Christine Nangle also resided at one point. Maybe people have a little bit less of a crystal clear portrait.
Starting point is 00:11:29 What is the food scene like in old Pittsburgh town? Well, the first thing people would probably think of is Permanney Brothers, which is renowned for putting French fries inside the sandwiches. Right. Yeah. So, that is an icon of Pittsburgh cuisine that I've never had. Oh, interesting. Despite having grown up there.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Right. Yeah, I think you can order it and get it shipped. I think you can get a sandwich. Yeah, I know that. Why would you do that? Just put some French fries in a sandwich. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:11:58 Good point. I feel like, but people love, they love that place. They do. They love that place. Yeah. And then I grew up, I mean, my association with Pittsburgh food is eating like Kielbasa and pierogies and a lot of like Polish Eastern European food. Right.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Yeah. I feel like that's a lot of what I ate. I feel very nostalgic. When I discovered Veselka Diner in New York, I was like, oh, this is like being home. It's a Ukrainian diner. So what? So eating pierogies. Right.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Anything specific beyond like the pierogies Kielbasa? Yes, I have. Okay. Yeah. So I had a babysitter who made a lot of dishes, which I think were, I think I'd call them Pittsburghian. All right. There's something called chip chop ham that is a quintessential Pittsburgh thing.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Sounds a little bit like Bubba Juice chop chip. Sounds, I was going to say, sounds like one of your friends from Quincy. Chip chop, Sam. Yeah. I had, I had a drink when I was younger called Bubba Juice chop chip with milk. Did you make this up? Bubba Juice. Bubba Juice chop chip with milk.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Can you reverse it, Gillian? Can you reverse engineer what it might be from his, the name that he gave it? Bubba Juice chop chip. But you said juice and you said milk. Bubba Juice. That sounds disgusting. Bubba Juice chop chip with milk. Chop chip.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Okay. Chop, chop chip. Did you put chips and milk? All right. You might be thinking that because that's what he's drinking now, but no. What was it? It was my Bubba Juice was my bottle. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Chop chip was chocolate with milk was milk chocolate milk and my little Bubba. That's cute. It was cute. I was a cute little baby. You were. I met your mother. I've faced timed with your face. You faced that with my mom and my, my auntie, Mosher and that's nice.
Starting point is 00:13:53 And who, God, that was, that was a nightmare too. I think my sister was there. Wow. Man, I was stressed. Oh, when that happened, you faced times with members of the Mitchell clan. I have not yet encountered nor will you. It was great though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:09 They were, they, I mean, they loved it. And then I ran to you and your mother at a restaurant. That's right. Yeah. Wait, where were we? What restaurant was that? Oh, that's right. Yes.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Which is a great, which is a great one. Yeah. We talked a lot. You know, I kind of like where we, where you ended up going today, but we talked about a lot of different. Look, no one likes this term, but then don't use it, but you're a bit of a foodie. I know now you've turned the whole audience against me. No, I have not.
Starting point is 00:14:37 True. They don't worry. I'm the villain. They'll like you. Is that true? They'll like you. Why are you a villain? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:45 I think it flips between Wagga and I have one of the podcast between you. It flips between the two of us lips between. I mean, it's that sometimes too. Sometimes Nick is the evil one. And sometimes I am. I think you in the face. Oh, Nick is big into wrestling right now. I've gotten into it a little bit more gotten back into it.
Starting point is 00:15:08 I don't think I'm more into it than you. Have you ever been to pro wrestling gorilla? I have. So have I. It's like a best show I've ever seen. You went to it many times. Really? It's been a couple of years now, but I've been many times.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Oh my God. We've gone together. Nick and I. Yeah, we've got this. How my friend dink there. Oh, what he works. Is he a wrestler? No, he just goes all the time.
Starting point is 00:15:31 He goes to every all the shows. Wow. We might be going to. Well, I shouldn't say this. Don't say it. Don't say it. Keep it a surprise. I think people from that first syllable and then knowing it's wrestling.
Starting point is 00:15:42 I think people can probably piece together what it is, but just still don't say it. All right. But the but wait, but I would let's let's uh, I want to get back to talking about this chop, chip, ham a little bit. Chip chop. Chip chop ham.
Starting point is 00:15:53 I apologize. But first the PWG tangent. I'm floored by. Wait, wait. When when were you going and who are the big wrestlers of the time? If you can remember me. I started going. That's a tough question.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Okay. No, it's not. Okay. I started going probably around in 2009. Oh, so years ago. Yeah. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:14 So dink introduced me. Is it's leaving the American Legion Hall in Rosita. Right. There are no. Hell. What are you saying? What the hell? I can't believe you know all about this.
Starting point is 00:16:23 This is this is awesome. Yeah. There's a bunch of guys who look like me at this. And me. No, no, there is not. It's me. There's there's guys who look like me there. There's there's a there of the how many people 300 people.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Yeah. And it's it's it's the the PWG demographic is very close to the Doe Boys demographic, which is men who look like Mitch and men who look like me. But there's some women there. Yeah. Yeah. I've seen women there. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:51 No, for sure. There are. Yeah. But so so you're going in like 2009 era, your friend dink is taking you and you're, this is like a regular event for you. Yeah. It's moving out of Rosita to downtown LA apparently. I'm sad about that.
Starting point is 00:17:00 I liked the American Legion Hall. It's nice. Yeah. Yeah. It had a very cozy feeling in there. Right. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Yeah. Yeah. People just flip on from from the ring into the audience. Yeah. It's really crazy. Joey Ryan was a big wrestler there. Okay. Um.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Oh gosh. Someone. I remember someone giving a retirement speech. I want to say his name was tornado or something like that. Okay. I wonder if anyone can track down who that was. There were brothers. There were brothers.
Starting point is 00:17:30 There were brothers. There were brothers. There were brothers. There were brothers. I wonder if anyone can track down who that was. There were brothers. Brothers who wrestled together. Possibly the Young Bucks.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Yes. The Young Bucks. Wow. Wow. You were seeing Young Bucks back in the day. Oh yeah. And they kind of wore like bell bottom spandex pants. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:51 They got cool outfits. I've never seen them. Really? You've never seen the Young Bucks? I think I saw one of the Young Bucks get a concussion in the ring. Oh, that's a bummer. Jesus. There was, there was a gentleman who would wear a white leather coat with fringe on it.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Okay. And he like went up to like one of the other leagues and then came back. I feel like. Oh, okay. Sure. I got very upset because Joey, I've hung out with Joey Ryan too, by the way. Okay. So I know him in real life too, not just as, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:24 So be impressed. Yeah, I am. But we are very impressed. We're easily impressable. Then I got very excited because he was on, I think, an episode of RuPaul's Drag Race when they had to do a wrestling challenge. Oh, that's cool. I was like, I know him.
Starting point is 00:18:36 I'm trying to think of who else were there. Someone who would always like slap the other person's chest really hard. That was their like go to move over and over again. If you watch some of like the DVDs from like 2009 through 2012, I think you will see me in the audience. This is amazing. You know what? If anyone tracks down a shot of Gillian in the audience at PWG.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Looking terrified, clutching my purse. Hit us up with the hashtag. I'm a freak. Yeah. Yeah. I'm a freak with too much time on my hand. What the hell? He's going to track down a screen grab.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Well, I don't know that there might be some phonetics who have those DVDs sitting around. They might throw one on from 2009. See a vintage young bucks match and say like, Hey, there's Gillian. I never noticed her before. How about the guy who would bring out the Nintendo pad thing and like stomp his feet on that? I'm not sure who that is. Sounds like Nathan Barnett.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Yeah. But anyway, hit us up with a hashtag. I'm a freak and we'll give someone something. Yeah. We'll figure out what that is. We'll give you some DVD thing. I don't know. You're one of your cats.
Starting point is 00:19:40 No. You said that because I was going to be, I told you I was going to be late. And then you said, I demand one of your cats as a penalty. Which you will not get. We'll see. Over my dead body. Well, which one would you give me?
Starting point is 00:19:55 Wally or Irma? I love them both equally. So which one would you give me? If you said that I have to, I have to give one up. I would, I would kill my, I would, I would have to kill myself. But you can always get another cat. It's so dramatic. This is a friend you can trust with the care of your love, your loved cat.
Starting point is 00:20:13 I love, I love them both too much. They're like my children. I know that you would take good care of them. Yeah, I would even Sophie made the choice though. Give me one. Nope. So your Sophie's choice would be to take your own life. Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Yeah. You have one burnt out bulb and one missing bulb in your chandelier. You know what? Here's what I gotta say about this. This chandelier is strange and the bulbs will burn out quickly. And so. Why don't you get one of those energy efficient bulbs? There is, there is one and it's extra bright.
Starting point is 00:20:43 The one closest to you. And so that's why that's why I, that's why you don't, don't look into it. And that's why I keep one. I don't know what, I don't know what the missing, I don't know where the missing bulb is. Probably while your arm, I did something funny. How did that cat? He's here.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Incredible cats. I really want one. They're very, they're very, very funny. They're the Michael Jordan of cats with their leaping ability. That's right. Chandelier is very high up. Acting ability. You, you, you, they, they, they're brother and sister.
Starting point is 00:21:08 So you couldn't, you can't separate them. You don't live with your sister. I know and it kills me every day. Wait. So what, when you're, you're watching these wrestling events, like what, what made you kind of drift away from it or lose interest in it slash maybe you, maybe it just got too busy, whatever the answer is,
Starting point is 00:21:25 but also like, what did you enjoy about it? Like what was your favorite thing to see in the ring? Um, I never lost interest in it. Okay. Um, I, let me think. What did I like? Well, their athleticism was quite impressive. It really is.
Starting point is 00:21:40 I enjoy the flippy floppy style of pro wrestling. Oh man, me too. Right. And lots of hunks, no shortage of them. Not in it for the hunks. Okay. I'm in it for the moves. Well, why are you there for a hunt?
Starting point is 00:21:51 Well, I mean, we all have our own reasons. Um, no, I loved it. I thought it was really fun. Um, and such like, I liked learning all the chance. Right. I liked knowing what was going on. The like ongoing rivalries. Um, why did I stop going?
Starting point is 00:22:08 I don't know why I stopped going. Just getting busy, I guess. Is it a lot of times is it on a Friday night? Yeah, it is oftentimes. And so I think, you know, with community and then love. I was often working all night Friday with your old friend over here. Little two spoon. Why do they call you two spoons?
Starting point is 00:22:24 I, I called myself two. Oh, you originally were the spoon man. I was a spoon man. Why are you the spoon man? Well, you haven't listened to every episode of the podcast. Why are you the spoon man? Because, you know, I had a spoon in my shirt one day. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:43 I said, you know, I'm the spoon man now. Everybody called me the spoon man. Now, if I remember it, I thought you had a spoon in your hand. You said that's why you were the spoon man. You can't shut up in the studio with a plastic spoon. Yeah. I don't know what, what, what the actual origin is. You gave yourself that nickname.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Hell yeah, I did. And you know what? It took off. The rest is history. Now, why are you Mikey Mitch two spoons now? Mitchy two spoons? Cause that's kind of my new smoother persona. Oh, Lord.
Starting point is 00:23:12 I think it's a rebrand that you should know me. You know, I'm a smooth guy. I think you're, I think you're going to go back to the original spoon at some point. You say that like, like wrestling, I'm going to go back to the old name. Yeah, I think it's, I think it's like a Hollywood Hogan phase. It's a little bit. You know, you're going to eventually go back to the original Hollywood Hogan,
Starting point is 00:23:28 the more likable name that everyone remembers him by. No, he's saying it's a little. Mitchy two spoons is your Hollywood Hogan and you're going to go back to Mitch. I, but you don't think this is a smoother name. I sound like I sound like I'm from Goodfellas. I sound like I'm from Goodfellas, baby. I sound like a part of the crew. What's the crew?
Starting point is 00:23:57 Ray Leota and everybody. Right. Oh, you're with those guys. Okay. Do you know Ray Leota? I've never, I have. Have I met? No, I've never met.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Maybe I have. I try to get him on the podcast. Like once and it didn't work out. Is that your hero? I mean, I'm a big Ray Leota fan, but I think Mitch was also just trying to blindside me with a, with a booking I wouldn't expect. And he has some connection to food, I guess. Goodfellas great.
Starting point is 00:24:20 One of the best food movies. Great food movie. Did you contact his publicist? No. What did you do exactly? I prayed. To every God. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:24:38 That's nice and inclusive of you. Not the devil. Gilly knows I'm afraid of ghosts. Yep. You know, you know, you know everything about me. I have two cats. I'm afraid of ghosts. That's basically that's it.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Yeah. Yeah. I know things about you. I mean, you can also make up a lot of view just like by looking at you. Like you're just like, okay, you're a large guy. This guy maybe likes to eat and he wears a Patriot hat all the time. So he's, he didn't assume that. You dink.
Starting point is 00:25:08 All right. I'm just saying. Shout out to dink. So, so, okay, I want to go back to my point. I know that it's a terrible thing, but you, you, you, you like some great restaurant. You, you're a big, you, you know, some great restaurants in Los Angeles. Yes. I thought I steered us away from this topic.
Starting point is 00:25:28 Deftly, but I, but I think that's okay. An appreciation for the good restaurant. Sure. We went. We had, we had a great look is great and, and, and you go there quite a bit. And that's a good. Well, I shouldn't say that. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Now people. Why are you giving away my locations? Oh, that's a good point. She loves food food. Palermo's on Fairmont Avenue. Correct. I love Palermo's. We can bleep the other utterance.
Starting point is 00:25:58 But you, you like good. I'm just saying you like some, you like some quality restaurants. I do. I enjoy eating good food. Right. But you, and my understanding and correct me if I'm wrong is that you like, you like good food, but you don't drink at all. Correct.
Starting point is 00:26:11 What is your beverage of choice when you go to a fine dining place that maybe is like, oh, we got craft cocktails or a wine pairing. Water. You just do straight water. What? What? What's it to you? That's boring city, baby.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Who cares? What's wrong with water? Don't care what you think at all. What? You've told me on set. I'm one of the coolest people you know. That's also true. I, you know, I got into hot water with a slice of lemon.
Starting point is 00:26:39 That's slightly more exciting. Water. Yeah. Water with a slice of lemon. Yeah. Settles the tummy. That sounds like a bath. What?
Starting point is 00:26:48 Why did you put a lemon in the tub? Because I don't know what seems like it would be nicer than drinking. A hot bath. Look, if you told me hot water, slice of lemon or is that a, is that a bath or a drink? I'd say a bath. No. One slice of lemon.
Starting point is 00:27:06 You're wrong. This is your drink. I put, there's a lot of, I make a lot of baths. What do you put in the bath? No. I know a lot of the time I'll do a shower bath. What? That's like, if I'm like not feeling great, I'll just lay down and let the
Starting point is 00:27:22 shower fall on me. But you're not filling up the tub at all? Or are you plugging the tub? No. I mean, I don't know. So this is just a sit down shower. Yeah, I sit down shower. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:34 Yeah. But why would you put a slice of lemon in a tub? I'm saying that it sounds more like a bath than a drink is all I'm trying to say. Wrong. I think you're wrong here. You say hot, hot water with lemon is a perfectly fine drink. Not even tea in there? No.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Wait, I thought it was melon. Did I say melon at one point? I thought you'd been saying lemon. You might have said melon once. I thought you said lemon. Did you hear melon? I don't know. Maybe at one point.
Starting point is 00:27:57 What is going on in your brain right now? I'm just confused. He's scared. He's scared of me. What are you confused about? I'm scared of Gillian. She makes me nervous. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:06 I took Leslie to a PWG, by the way. I bet she loved it. She did. She did have a nice time. She loved it. BOA Battle of Los Angeles. Wow. We have something like that.
Starting point is 00:28:15 Bola. Bola, yeah. I just learned that acronym this morning from our buddy Evan Susser. Cody, the wrestler, the American nightmare, Cody tweeted out Bola, apparently. And I was like, what's Bola? And he educated me. Gillian already knew it. I'll look at that wrestling chain and it will be like 20 instances of you being like,
Starting point is 00:28:36 who's this guy? He's quite the hunk. He's got a great build. It'll just be 20 instances of that. Weigert having a hunk meter for all the wrestlers. I know. They are all hunks. He already implied that I was going there to look at hunks.
Starting point is 00:28:48 No, it didn't mean to imply that. I was just a fan of technique. All right. Yeah. It is like a ballet in many ways. It is. It's very impressive. The athleticism has really gone up a notch since in the period when I stopped watching
Starting point is 00:29:01 wrestling and then began resumed watching it recently. So wait, let's, let's, uh, we had another loose end earlier, which was the, the, oh, now I forgot what it was called. Chop, not chop. Chop ham. Chop chop ham. What is chip chop ham? It's a very thinly sliced ham.
Starting point is 00:29:16 I don't know why that's a Pittsburgh specialty, but it is. And then also she would make city chicken, which I don't think is specific to Pittsburgh. Okay. It's like chicken on a skewer. Okay. And then she would make something called meat cup. Oh, I like the sound of that. Oh, that sounds great.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Yeah. She put ground beef in a cupcake tin and cook it and put a crouton in the center. Slash by tin. Um, come on. Hi. It was little for cupcakes. Mitch has this insane opinion. Tell her, tell her.
Starting point is 00:29:47 No, no, we won't get into it. Mitch has this insane opinion that cupcakes are not cake that they are pie. Look, let's not even get into it. How would they be pie? You have cake in the name. I was gonna say a meat cup. I'd have that with every meal that you should drink. You should have that instead of your, your water with hot water with.
Starting point is 00:30:06 I should replace my beverage with a meat cup. Pivoting so quickly from the cupcakes or pie argument. You want to get off of that? I'm nervous. I used to accuse Gillian and Claudia of being witches. Remember? Yes. I went into your trailer.
Starting point is 00:30:21 What did I find? Eye of Newt. How sad are you that love is over and that you're no longer tortured by Claudia and I on set? I was tortured by you guys quite a bit. I forced him to post things on his Instagram account. That is, that is, that is true. There's a couple.
Starting point is 00:30:41 You can see on my Instagram account. There's a couple pictures. Can you think of an instance? There's a picture where she literally stole my phone. It's just, it's a picture of her. Yeah. I posted a selfie of myself and then I forced him to post a picture of Claudia and myself. You would, you would, you would, you would help out when I, if I was dating someone,
Starting point is 00:30:59 you would, I wasn't going to bring that up. Fine. I shouldn't bring it up either. I fucked up. If I was dating, you would, you would, you would help me with texts. Yes. That's true. I wrote some texts.
Starting point is 00:31:10 I got you a date. You did. Whoa. Very cool. You did. It was also funny because I mean, I, I don't know of this girl anymore, but, but, uh, I mean, she's still, she's fine, by the way. I'm saying you, you, it was a funny thing where you would write a text and then it would
Starting point is 00:31:26 go so well and then it would go back to me and fizzle. Mitch, you got the, the, the project to write for the two of you as Cyrano de Berger. Yeah. I got a ghost texture. I love that. That's great. That's great. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:31:41 A walley and Irma production shot entirely out in front of Palmerston place. Why are you telling people where you live? They already know. What? He says his street name. Why? Sometimes discloses his address. I never said the address.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Why are you telling people your street? What are they going to do? Come and kill me? Possibly. Bring it on. I say what they come and you're scared of me going into your bedroom, but not random strangers showing up at your apartment. If someone shows up at the apartment, I'll just know it's my time.
Starting point is 00:32:10 It's fine. It's bizarre. It's my time. I mean, I don't give out my address. Palmerston. He just said you did it. Maybe one time accidentally. The street is big.
Starting point is 00:32:22 We've leaped out every time I said my actual address. I think what would happen based on my experience coming to your apartment is if, if someone like, like a listener came to your, your address and opened your front door and walked in and you were say playing switch, you just be like, Hey man, what's going on? Like it wouldn't even phase you because people just probably be like, I've seen bug main just walk into here Kramer style. He just enters like it's his place and just like say hi to him and he just starts hanging out.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Yeah. It's strange. It's a strange life. You live. Yeah. Okay. I'm a bored man since love ended. I got nothing going on.
Starting point is 00:32:57 That can't be true. I didn't know it is 100% true. You got this podcast. James Corden call up. He said, Hey, you want to come on the show? Hey, great. This is going to be great as in a sketch, not even as myself. I played a, I played a, a, a mark in a sketch.
Starting point is 00:33:13 You were very funny. That's better than nothing. That's true. You didn't have to be scared by a ghost this time. Yeah. That's true. I knew what was going on. You were on a hit television show being funny.
Starting point is 00:33:23 That's good. Something to be proud. Now all we got is this podcast. I see Nick every week. We have fun. No, we don't. All right. We don't have fun.
Starting point is 00:33:34 People listen to the show. Did you do a March Madness style thing in March? Yeah, we did. We did. Who won? This year's Munch Madness was the slices. Right. We did a pizza turn.
Starting point is 00:33:44 Ooh. And we, yeah. Domino's won. Domino's. There's actually the Dave Thomas cup is right there in front of Mitch's captain phasma figurine. It hasn't been engraved with this year's winner yet, but the past two winners in and out burger and Wendy's are in there for 2016.
Starting point is 00:33:56 And my monster cookie job, which you compliment. I like it a lot. It's a great cookie jar. There'll be no cookies in there because I eat them just out of the case and put the cookies in the jar for crying out loud. You could put treats for Wally and Irma in there. Ooh, I like that idea. Well, that's fun.
Starting point is 00:34:12 They'll always be trying to knock it up. They'll knock it, not knock it up. They'll be always be trying to do the nasty with this monster figuring. We'll be trying to knock the head off. All right. Trying to get in there. Fuck it. You make me nervous.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Okay. And I can't believe. Look, was Claudia nice to you when she appeared on the show? She is very. I mean, she was very nice. She's very nice. Everyone. A delight.
Starting point is 00:34:38 I always become. I mean, I always become the butt of jokes. Don't I? No, it's true. You're our darling. Mitchy two. People like you. No, they don't.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Oh my God. Now you're fishing for compliments. You're a likeable man. People really, people enjoy. You have a natural charisma and people are attracted to you as a human being. Kill him. Everybody likes you. You're really cute.
Starting point is 00:35:04 You're a nice man. I feel better. What else? What else do you want? What do you want? What do you want? You want some bubble juice, chop chip with milk? Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:16 You guys, so you guys are both actors and I added one more question before I want to get into to Taco Bell. On set. Yeah. What are you eating snack wise? What are you eating meal wise? Cause that can be a train wreck if you're not careful in terms of just calorie consumption. Anything come to mind, Gillian.
Starting point is 00:35:36 Avocado on a rice cake. Really? Oh God. Really? What? What's wrong with that? I mean, it's very healthy. Yeah, that's super healthy.
Starting point is 00:35:45 Yeah. Some good fats and not too many and not too much on the way of carbs. Too often I get a breakfast burrito. And then I'd be sleepy almost right. That's a problem. If you eat on set too late at night, then I would immediately get a stomach ache. Yeah. Oh, sure.
Starting point is 00:36:00 And then my stomach hurts. Yeah. The rest of the night. Yeah. That's a bummer. You have to be careful. Yeah. I felt that way always.
Starting point is 00:36:08 I think it was nerves. Gillian scared me and eating a giant. Who scares you more? Claudia or myself? You scare me more. Oh, wow. You've got you. You have the title.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Claudia is going to one upper game now. She's going to try to be more scary. She's going to show up here and witch regalia. I feel the same way you do. I would never. I don't like to. I actually don't like to eat that much. And even like lunch, you usually get like an hour.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Right. It's a good time to take a nap. It's a great time to take a nap. Oh, that's fun. Oh man. That's an important skill to learn how to nap. Right. That's key.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Five minutes of a nap. I can't do it. You can tell. Oh, I know. Nick doesn't nap. I can't fall asleep. Work on it. I've tried.
Starting point is 00:36:54 What do you mean you've tried? I don't know. I just lie there. I don't fall asleep. You've never had a nap. I've had naps, but it's usually because I'm like so exhausted from the previous day. Like I did get a bad night's sleep. And then the next day I was like fall asleep early and then I wake up.
Starting point is 00:37:08 Yeah. I wouldn't say I'm like a proper napper. Yeah. I love them. This is riveting. Oh, this is the kind of content we bring to the listeners of the Dough Boys podcast. You know what?
Starting point is 00:37:21 Here's a fun fact. Love is over. I still nap. I've taken into my daily habit. What's all that mail? Can I go through your mail? No, you cannot go through my mail. Will you give me that basket, please?
Starting point is 00:37:33 Sure. No, what if there's something weird in there? Let's see. Some of this stuff is addressed to the Dough Boys. Oh, boring. Yeah. There's not. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:37:42 You were looking for some love letters. I was looking for some love letters. No one sends me love letters. We don't know that. That's insane. Looks like you had a Del Taco coupon in there. There is a Del Taco coupon in there. That's closest to a love letter.
Starting point is 00:37:55 I'm having to nab that from you. Have you ever gotten a love letter? An actual love letter. I've gotten a couple, but they're via email. Wait, really? Yeah. I got a couple of love emails, but they were from people I'd known years ago and then they sent me a lengthy like.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Wait, what? Like declaration of love. What the hell? Yeah, happened a couple of times. This is the kind of content you need to be providing. This is crazy. Yeah, I didn't know how to handle it, so I just sort of was like, all right, well.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Whoa. What do you mean? What do you mean, all right, well? I was just like, oh, that was probably cathartic for them, and I'm just going to move on. Did you not respond? No. They poured their heart out to you and you didn't respond?
Starting point is 00:38:34 What the fuck, Weiger? Yeah. I don't know. I was young. I didn't know how to handle that. Whoa. Oh, you had a $2 bill in there. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Very cool. All right. You got some sort of adapter. What is that for? Is that for travel? Like some sort of thing that plugs into the wallet? This is the Doughboy's basket. This is as much yours as it is mine.
Starting point is 00:38:53 Three batteries. Oh, yeah. Three in a loop batteries. Wait, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Four batteries. Oh, there we go. Weiger is now swallowing those batteries. They need to be charged.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Don't you need this? That's an SD card. We've got a couple of those. Yeah. Do you see it? You know what? If you see a dongle in there. A what?
Starting point is 00:39:13 A dongle. We're missing a dongle. Oh, yeah. No. I don't know what the hell that is. Is it the dongle though, or is it the adapter? What? Well, because we have a dongle in there, but we also have an adapter.
Starting point is 00:39:25 They're like separate things. The dongle for the iPhone. Okay. Yeah. Or is it the adapter? No, I think that is the dongle. You have a free small size combo meal coupon for Del Taco. Why?
Starting point is 00:39:36 You can take that while you're at it. Thank you. Wait, let's see. What about season's eating? He's looking for the expiration date already because he knows that it's expired. Expires 3, 4, 18. Shit. Come on.
Starting point is 00:39:49 They'll still, they'll, they'll, they'll. Maybe it's like Bed Bath and Beyond. They might still take it. Yeah. I think they won't honor it because when I've seen, when I've used these before, they scan the bar code and I think the bar code will just be invalid. Well, what about these two? Oh, those look like proper gift cards.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Those I think you can use. What? Why are you getting mad at me? What's the balance on these season eating Del Taco? Why aren't you going through this basket? Because there's too much shit in this fucking house. This person really took a lot of time. The look their handwriting is beautiful.
Starting point is 00:40:15 That is beautiful. Don't open. When did you get these? Season's eating. Dear dough boys and team, thank you so much for your podcast. It's been a terrible year and it really means a lot. I've been re-listening to old episodes to bing laughter. Enjoy to these terrible days.
Starting point is 00:40:32 I'm so grateful for the podcast and all the work you do. Thanks for the laughs. Much love to you all. Pie, cake, the two little drawings, beautiful handwriting. Oh my. The reference to pie? Who is that from? I didn't know if I should read the person's name.
Starting point is 00:40:46 They didn't say please read this out loud. They probably love that you read the card though. That's very nice. Do you want me to say the first name? Sure. Her first name is Heather. Thank you Heather. That's very nice.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Thank you Heather. She says dear dough boys and team, including you song and Wally and Irma. That's very nice. Okay. Let me look at the last name. Yeah. Oh, Locklear. I opened yours.
Starting point is 00:41:08 That's for you. Nick. Oh, okay. One for me. One for Nick. You got one too. Is it another love letter that he's going to toss in the trash? No.
Starting point is 00:41:18 This is very nice. Should I read this one? This seems very unseasonal now. We're reading these Christmas. Why didn't you ever open these? Why didn't we open these? This is on you as much as me. I don't go through the bad.
Starting point is 00:41:29 There's a male basket that I put all the dough boys shit in. Okay. All right. I'm just saying that your responsibility doesn't end when you put it in the basket. Are you opening more things? Yes. Oh, your photo is on here. Oh, this is a very nice one.
Starting point is 00:41:45 These are very, very nice. The friend hate ship between you and Nick always makes me laugh. Oh, this is a, I don't know how long DB will last, but your bad program means a lot to me. Your efforts are far reaching. Even if it doesn't feel like it. Christmas to you and your lovely wife Natalie from this expat Californian very sincerely Laura.
Starting point is 00:42:04 Hey, thank you Laura. Have you ever made it down to the Mississippi Gulf coast, but New Orleans is close as near me too. Your live show sound amazing. Trying to get us down there. Wow. This is from Laura. We got a, we got a card.
Starting point is 00:42:18 Oh, wait. What? Don't let the cats eat tinsel. It's very bad for them. Oh boy. Careful. Shit. I've been feeding them tinsel since fucking Christmas.
Starting point is 00:42:26 Give me those cats. You don't get the cats. Okay. Mitch, this is very nice. I'm standing up to you today. No, you're not. Okay. You're trembling.
Starting point is 00:42:37 This is a jolly holidays. We got a little post card. That's great. With a picture of Maggie and Taylor. You remember we met them when we were up up in Seattle. I believe they did that for their Christmas card. Isn't that nice? What the hell are they thinking?
Starting point is 00:42:49 I got Evan Susser on there. They should have cropped him out. Ooh. Yeah. Now we've got all your mail. There's more. Give me the mail. No, no, there's too much.
Starting point is 00:42:58 It's boring. Why don't you open it? It's boring mail. You got a sample pamphlet in here. Ooh. That big green bag in this other, the green stuff is Doughboys. Okay. And it's on much as much as on you and you never care.
Starting point is 00:43:11 That's fine. I just don't. To me that basket is a black hole and I don't know what goes into it and I don't know. What the fuck are you talking about? We should come up with a better system for the mail is what I'm saying. What are we coming to your house? I made a mail basket. Okay.
Starting point is 00:43:24 We'll just start opening it. Well, let's just open stuff when it arrives and then we'll go through. How about this? The start of every, before we record every episode. Uh-huh. You and I will get here a little early. Easy for me. You were late today.
Starting point is 00:43:38 To your own place. Ooh. Burn. Hold on. We'll get that in a second. We're going to get into this restaurant. We'll take a second. We'll do what Gillian just did and we'll go through all the mail.
Starting point is 00:43:47 We'll open it up. So we'll stay. This ain't fucking Sesame Street. Okay, lady. You can't come in and read my mail. These people were kind enough to write you cards, thoughtful cards, and you don't even have the respect to open them. I need to open them with Wyger.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Why? Because. Yes. We'll take a break. We'll be back with more Doe Boys. Welcome back to Doe Boys. Here with Gillian Jacobs. Taco Bell, you've never been there.
Starting point is 00:44:19 Never been. How? Before we get started on that. Was I your favorite person on the love set? No. Oh. Was I top five? Sure.
Starting point is 00:44:32 Yeah. Mitch, you're a top five person for me in the Doe Boys universe. What the fuck? Top six. Top six. I think so. What are you? What are you?
Starting point is 00:44:44 What are you? What are you? What are you? What are you? What are you? What are you? Did you have issues with each other? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Wally's a little skittish around me. We bonded a little bit. Hey, I gave him a good pet last time. We'll tweet out the video. There's Wyger and Wally bonded. He gave Wally a good pet. Cool. I pet him quite a bit.
Starting point is 00:45:04 You think our podcast is boring? No. No, it is. You're right. Should I get Wally out here? She's never met him. I'll listen to you. I'll get Wally.
Starting point is 00:45:17 We'll talk about your Taco Bell and experience. How is it possible that you have never eaten Taco Bell in your life as someone who grew up in the U.S.? I don't know. I just never went. Is there any fast food you have? Is fast food not really something that was a part of your upbringing? No, it was.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Okay. Yeah. I went to fast food restaurants. So what fast food were you eating with any frequency? McDonald's, Wendy's. Those are probably a top two. Right. Taco Bell.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Was there anything in kind of the Mexican category that you were ever having fast food wise? Pittsburgh is not known for its Mexican food. Got it. And then even in New York City kind of, I mean, out here in L.A., there's certain of those options. Here's Wally. That's a handsome cat.
Starting point is 00:45:57 He's a very good looking man. That's a handsome cat. Wally, say hi. Hi. Hi, buddy. Hi. There you go. Mitch is handing Wally over to Gillian.
Starting point is 00:46:07 Wally is being a little skittish because he's something of a shy guy. He's getting some good pets though. He's getting some neck rubs, and he loves every minute of it. He certainly does. Oh, boy. Here, just put him down here. He's a little shetty. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:20 We'll see if he's going to move around a little bit. Bring up the idea. Bring up the idea. Bring up the idea that the big... Oh, okay. Oh, this is... Oh, this was your... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:33 Yeah. You can go ahead. Go for it. Well, it wasn't necessarily my idea, but we're going to do the Golden Paw Club. What's that? Every month, we're going to feature a stray from a shelter. That's cute. I like it.
Starting point is 00:46:45 And we're going to try to get a cat adopted and a dog adopted. And we're going to match it with some donations from the Doughboys Corporation to help some of these shelters. I like it. Yeah. Yeah. Because Irma and Wally were... I don't know if they were strays, but you rescued them.
Starting point is 00:47:01 I got them from the Cats Meow, which was where we were going to... That's where we're going to try to... That's who we're going to try to work with. Yeah. So that's a thing that... This is wonderful. We were going to do it because we committed to it, but we were going to do it anyway. We were going to do it anyways.
Starting point is 00:47:13 Yes. Has Wally ever appeared on the podcast? Wally has before. He came out here and he started like attacking wires. And we had a video of it. Remember? Was this on a bonus episode? This was just on a bonus episode, right?
Starting point is 00:47:27 Mm-hmm. This might be his first appearance in the full Doughboys Canon. Mm-hmm. And I got to give credit. This is Clem Dogg, Sean Clements, and his wife, Grace. It was their idea. Yeah. A little innovation from Hollywood Handbook Land, applied to the Doughboys.
Starting point is 00:47:42 And Clem Dogg might get involved around the holidays, he said. Oh, interesting. So that's going to be our... We'll do some good with this podcast, maybe. Yeah. Well, yeah. He'd love... Oh, wait.
Starting point is 00:47:55 I thought of another classic Pittsburgh food thing. Oh, I want to hear about it. Eaton Park. Ooh. What is that? Eaton Park is a diner chain. They're open 24 hours and they're known for their smiley cookie. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:48:09 That sounds good. Yeah. It's delicious. When Nick asked you, I didn't get to hear the answer, but you didn't go to a lot of fast food growing up? I went to... I'd say McDonald's and Wendy's. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:20 Where are the two places? Wendy's is one of my favorites. Yeah. And McDonald's is one of my favorites. And Taco Bell is... Those are my top three. Cool to know. Do you like...
Starting point is 00:48:29 So are you... You've had a lot of fast food. You're someone who enjoys some fine dining. Are you someone who likes fast food, who craves fast food, or is it just like a thing you have to get if there's no other options? I don't really eat it anymore. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:45 I'll go to like in and out. Hell yeah. Yeah. But that's like a level above two. Right. That's like... It almost doesn't feel like fast food. Not from a price standpoint though.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Subway. That's another restaurant I would want to. I went to as a kid. Oh yeah. Subway. Subway is... Nick, you and I talk about this a lot. I know that you got a full loaf of bread, but it's a decent...
Starting point is 00:49:03 It's a decent health option, if you just got like a turkey sub or something. It's marginal. I mean, the food's still processed there, but depending on what you order, you can do marginally better than what you would get at like a... Not fried or whatever. Sure. Yeah. You can make some compromises there.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Yeah. So okay. So you had... How do you feel about Mexican food in general? I know Taco Bell is a pretty corrupt version of it, but you know, you've lived in L.A. for some time. Love it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Big fan. What's your favorite? Taco, quesadilla person. I'd say taco. Oh, hell yeah. Taco. You get some al pastor in there. Sure.
Starting point is 00:49:37 What do you go with? Carnitas. Oh yeah. Al pastor. Do you have a... I was going to ask a favorite chef, but I probably shouldn't. I'm not telling you nothing. My favorites are cactus, taqueria out here and guisados tacos are very good.
Starting point is 00:49:54 Very good. You want to sit down and have a nice meal, BS taqueria, one of your favorite restaurants. That's one of the best. All right. I'll come back. Did you have any biases about Taco Bell going in because it certainly has a reputation? What's its reputation? I think people think of Taco Bell as it's unhealthy.
Starting point is 00:50:10 You almost said diarrhea. I almost said diarrhea. I was going to say diarrhea, but I want to leave with like, it's very unhealthy. Yeah. People say it gives you diarrhea. What? I've... It doesn't...
Starting point is 00:50:19 It's not a guarantee. Wait, what? Why'd you let me eat it then? Look, no, no. I have places to be. I know. You have a place to go tonight. I can't have diarrhea.
Starting point is 00:50:28 Well, it turns out, hopefully, do you guys provide adult diapers as part of that? Do we apply? I supply them. Where Nick and I are wearing one now that would you have sponsors for this show? We do. Yeah, we get some. We get occasionally. Yeah, you could maybe get adult diapers, right?
Starting point is 00:50:46 I think that's a great idea. Would you would you wear one for a full episode, Nick? Yeah, I would. Absolutely. We, I mean, we could share one that there has been. There's been rare moments. What about squatty potty? Have they advertised?
Starting point is 00:50:57 We share one. Yeah, I don't know. Not share a squatty potty. Have they advertised on your show? They have not. But yeah, we'd be a different candidate. I have one in the bathroom though. Yeah, they're great.
Starting point is 00:51:06 I got one too. Unkink your colon. What? I do think we've got the people who've gotten a little too comfortable talking about shitting. We're a little bit through shitting. What? Society in general? Yeah, I feel like the squatty potty thing was just like, yeah, I do like it.
Starting point is 00:51:19 I like having it, but like. Oh, come on. You know what? It's better to shit than not shit. No, it's true. And you know what? You know how scared I was of that my entire life? Pooping?
Starting point is 00:51:29 Yes. Pooping. I think that's common. I was backed up. I went to the doctor. Uh-huh. I've said this before, but they put a camera up, up there. And they saw a lot of poop?
Starting point is 00:51:41 And my dad said to the doctor, and it was one of his, he was the most proud lines he ever had. I told you this, Nick, that he said, I always knew he was full of shit to the doctor. And I was like in uncomfortable pain. It was not like a fun moment for me. They were like, did you have us do that to your son just so you could give that line? It's a good line.
Starting point is 00:51:59 That is a good line. It was a good debt. Did you laugh at the time? I mean, like if I wasn't full of pain, and they were like filling me with air. This is what I've talked. I've said this, but like yeah, I felt like the Mario balloon, which I'm sure you'll get this reference. I kind of get it.
Starting point is 00:52:13 Mario. There's a power balloon. Yeah. Fill up with air. Oh boy. And that's how I felt afterwards. Devilishly difficult level tubular. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:21 Very hard. Gillian's leaving. What? You don't like the extra levels in Super Mario World for Super Nintendo? What? Not a gamer, eh? No. So you've never had Taco Bell.
Starting point is 00:52:35 You don't really know about its reputation too much. I mean, I'm sure you've did the Yo-Ki-Aro Taco Bell. Some of that has perniated your consciousness. Yeah. I'm aware of their ad campaigns. Okay. Yeah. But what, like what, okay.
Starting point is 00:52:47 You're trying to ask what she thought of the breast. Right. Did you think of it at all? Do you have any sort of like, like, like, were you like, tentative about eating this or are you like, I don't know what this is going to do to me or I think this is going to be bad? Well, I didn't know to be afraid.
Starting point is 00:52:59 Oh, interesting. I get mad at people who say that it's like a diarrhea place. I don't think it's true. I don't think, I agree. I don't, I don't think it's true. People say, I mean, like, it's unhealthy fast food in many ways. But also recently I said, we've talked about this, like it's said to be one of the healthier fast food options.
Starting point is 00:53:15 I suspect the diarrhea reputation is because these are, they're, that actually comes from people with bad diets who don't normally eat fiber. Yeah. And the fiber they consume, the small amount of fiber they consume comes in the form of Taco Bell beans. Yeah. And so it reacts to, their bodies react to it in a hard way.
Starting point is 00:53:31 Fair enough. Yeah. That's my suspicion. Great. Yeah. You're going to be fine. I promise you. Wonderful.
Starting point is 00:53:39 All right. So what are you like, I guess let's just talk through the food. We've got the, Mitch, do you have the lineup of everything that we got for yourself and Gillian? Well, I also got some stuff myself. I do. Yep. Can you rename this podcast, Watchin' Wally,
Starting point is 00:53:51 and we just have a, It would be true. We've, we, it would be a better podcast. Yeah. It would be more successful. Come here, Wally. You're a cute boy. He is.
Starting point is 00:53:59 He's a handsome lad. He is a handsome lad. He likes ladies. Well, one thing we started with is we had the Wild Naked Chicken Chalupa. And this is the Naked Chicken Chalupa. They brought it back. This was a thing that you and I loved, Mitch. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:10 The wild version has, it's got the chicken shell. It's also got lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cheese. And then it's got the new bold wild sauce. Here's what I'll say. Cause I got this today myself, separately from you guys. The wild sauce is the only spicy element and it's not quite wild enough. I was hoping for the shell to be actually be spicier. So wait, this is the one where the shell is chicken.
Starting point is 00:54:32 The shell is chicken. Yeah. What did you think? That's odd. It is. It's, it's very odd. It's odd. It is odd.
Starting point is 00:54:40 I like it overall. I mean, I like the taste. Yeah. Here's, here's what I'll say. The chicken. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:48 I get what you're saying. Yeah. That's fine. It's just a marketing ploy. Yeah. It is. And it works. I think that they do funny stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:54:56 That works. I'll say this. You had a good observation that it tasted kind of big mac-y, which it does. Yeah. The sauce had a big mac. Right. Yeah. But for something that's supposed to be wild.
Starting point is 00:55:04 Yeah. For something that's supposed to not be mild, but be wild. I was expecting a little bit more heat level. Cause that's another heat seeker. Maybe the wildness comes from the fact that the chicken is the shell. Maybe that's what's wild. Well, here's the thing. I would agree with your theory, but there is a vanilla naked chicken chalupa.
Starting point is 00:55:16 Not vanilla in terms of vanilla flavor. There's just a regular one without the wild element. Are there dessert options at Taco Bell? There are. There are a couple. There's kind of like cinnamon twist, which I should probably should have gotten you. I think the freeze that you guys got technically qualifies as a dessert. That's a dessert.
Starting point is 00:55:32 Yeah. I think that people call that a dessert. Yeah. Close. Look, I got to Taco Bell today. Yes. And their system was down. There was only one cash register that was working, and so they had to take the
Starting point is 00:55:45 orders from inside and outside, and it was an insanely long line at Taco Bell. Right. And it made me about set eight minutes late to the podcast. Okay. I was here on time. I know everybody was here on time. I was texting Nick. You know, I had to go get us waters and then try to get us some.
Starting point is 00:56:02 Where's my water? We didn't get you on yet. We didn't offer our guests water. We didn't offer water. Do you want a water? No. Okay. We got flat.
Starting point is 00:56:13 We got sparkly. You know, the water from my house has the same reputation as Taco Bell that it will give you diarrhea. What are these marks on your walls? Oh, this right here? Yeah. And I know that wall as well. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:56:28 You know, there's some marks here. That's about chair height. I think that might come from that chair. Yeah. You know what it is? I'll tell you what this is. I'll tell you what this mark is. It's up against the wall sometimes and while in Irma they come up and they run up on it
Starting point is 00:56:40 and then they take their two front paws and they hug at the top of the chair and it's very cute. Now what about on the other wall? It's even higher. I know what that is too. That was a mirror. I put a mirror against the wall. I've gotten rid of the mirror.
Starting point is 00:56:53 I gave it to charity. Charity. Yeah. Wait, what's it called? Goodwill. Thank you. Sure. Who are you thanking yourself?
Starting point is 00:57:01 I don't know. I got nervous. You're making me nervous. You're making me nervous. That could be another podcast. You're making me nervous. You're making me nervous. There you go.
Starting point is 00:57:11 That would be a nightmare. You know, Mitch, there might be another mark on your wall. Mark Hamill on your Star Wars poster. No. You have one of those? Oh, God. It's going to be a big red mark on my wall when I'm blowing my brain. All right.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Look, it wasn't my fault that the thing was messed up. I mean, it was my fault. Sure. But I wanted to get the... No one's blaming you. It's fine. You're not responsible for the entire system going down at Taco Bell. I wanted to get the food here and have it be hot, but I'll say this.
Starting point is 00:57:45 One of those chicken chalupas, one of them was like hot and fresh. The other one was cold. I don't know if it was the wild. I think it was maybe the mild one. Oh, so you got a mild and a wild. We got a mild and a wild. And it was in the other one was kind of cold and when it was not, and when it's cold is not good.
Starting point is 00:58:01 The other one was like very hot. I don't know if the other patty just maybe was sitting and waiting to be made or something. You got to have that bad boy hot. Yeah. Yeah. Cold. It's just kind of debit. So the naked chicken chalupa, you mostly thought it was weird, but tasted okay.
Starting point is 00:58:13 The... I liked the wild and I thought the mild was... It was just cold. So it wasn't great. Right. And you were just okay on it? I don't... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:24 Sure. So we also had the... I got myself a cheesy gordita crunch, which I think you guys got as well. This is kind of a classic. Did you try it? What is that one? It's the one with a soft shell and a hard shell. I didn't try that.
Starting point is 00:58:36 You didn't try... It's my favorite one. I'm full. God damn it. You got me so many things. I did get you a lot of stuff. You got like six things. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:45 That's too much. Here's what... Here's what I got Gillian. I got Gillian a chicken chalupa, a cheesy gordita crunch, which he hasn't tried. You should take a bite of it right now. Wait. Which one is that? Where is it?
Starting point is 00:58:57 The chick... That one over there. That's a chalupa. Yeah. There's the ch... Crunch. You ate that. Oh, you did eat some of it.
Starting point is 00:59:06 Oh, okay. Wait. Did you not have any of the chicken chalupa? I don't know. I ate this thing, this thing, and this thing, and I took one bite of that. Oh, no. That's the... Oh, so it looks like you didn't have any of the mild, but you had one of the naked chicken
Starting point is 00:59:18 chips. Right. You got the idea. And then... And then so I got her a Crunchwrap Supreme and she... She took one... You took one bite of it and you... You hated it.
Starting point is 00:59:28 It's very gelatinous. No. It is... It is pretty gelatinous. Yeah. The last word you ever want to hear describe food. It can just be like a pocket. I think you got a bad pocket and it was maybe like a lot of...
Starting point is 00:59:39 I think you got a bad pocket of mush. Sure. And it wasn't that good. You got some sour cream and stuff in there. Can we record the rest of the show in your bedroom? No way. The audio would be better. It's an enclosed space.
Starting point is 00:59:51 No. It won't be better. I don't know. Wait. Emma, would the audio be better? Emma! What the hell are you doing? Emma's trying to get fired.
Starting point is 01:00:03 I'm right. You're wrong. I'm... There's too many bugs in there. There's a bee... Bugs! There's a beehive in there. We can't go in there.
Starting point is 01:00:11 Let's go. There's a beehive. You can't get in there. Can we do an audio tour of your apartment? No way. No way, dude. Well, then why don't you record this at a studio? We should have brought you to a studio.
Starting point is 01:00:23 Do you ever do it at a studio? We do sometimes. Yeah, we used to do it at a studio. Then Mitch wanted to do it at his place. That's fucking bullshit. You liked doing it at my place. I'm happy doing it at your place. It's fine.
Starting point is 01:00:31 You can't start teaming up on me now, too. I live in Santa Monica. Oh, that's not close. Yeah, it's not close. It's not close at all. Where was the studio? Well, our... The studio was in Burbank.
Starting point is 01:00:40 Our previous studio was in Burbank, and our new podcast label, their studio's in downtown LA. Which label do you guys sign to? We're with Head Gum. We're with Head Gum. We're with the Head Gum studio now. Where are they located? They're in downtown.
Starting point is 01:00:52 Wally's really loving you. Good. I want a cat. I grew up with cats. You should get one. Hey, you could become the first member of the Golden Paw Club. No. You know what we do?
Starting point is 01:01:05 We pick out an animal for you and we name it. We give it a fun, fast food name, like Gordita. Wally's fun. I think the only issue there is then people might want to eat them. That cat sounds delicious. Liv starts smacking. We're not going to give any of these animals to Alf. Was that a favorite show of yours growing up?
Starting point is 01:01:27 Alf? You know, I really loved, you know, I loved Macaulay Culkin. I was a big, not an Alf. I was a big Mac fan. That was a weird turn. I asked you Alf. Oh, did I like Alf? No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:01:40 What did you think I said? You said, did you like that? Yeah. Yeah. No, did you like that show growing up? Yeah. And you said, and you said I was a big Macaulay Culkin fan. I was thinking of shows I liked and like Macaulay.
Starting point is 01:01:52 All right. Yeah. No, maybe it was weird. I was thinking of movies. Was he on a TV show? He never played Alf. He's small enough to get in that Alf costume. You're confusing Macaulay Culkin with Mac from Mac and me.
Starting point is 01:02:06 Mac and me. A different alien who's also not Alf. I didn't watch. I mean, I watched some Alf and then I watched a lot of Urkel Family Matters. Sure. And then I was a big fan. I was going to say, like as a boy, I was a big fan of Macaulay Culkin. I loved Home Alone.
Starting point is 01:02:22 I thought it was very funny. I thought all the tricks to the robbers or was it very funny and I enjoyed that and it inspired me to become an actor. Has he appeared on this podcast? No. We should get him on. Yeah. I wonder if you would do it, right?
Starting point is 01:02:38 Doesn't he have a podcast? He does have a podcast. Hey, there we go. Cross promotion. Yeah. Cross there. Perfect. That would be great.
Starting point is 01:02:46 So we've got the, so wait. What other food do we get through, Mitch? We should talk through this Taco Bell. Yes. So we got killing a chicken chalupa and I don't know if you tried it. The Crunchwrap Supreme took a bite. I didn't like it. Wild and mild chicken.
Starting point is 01:02:59 What's it called? Chicken Gordy. Chicken Chalupa. Sorry. Naked Chicken Chalupas and a cheesy Gordy to Crunch and a nacho cheese Doritos Locostaco Supreme and finally Baja Blass Mountain Dew Freeze. That was my favorite thing. Really?
Starting point is 01:03:18 Wow. Because I was thirsty and I wasn't offered water. Dear God. Dear God. So that's a highlight. What about the savory? I could never win. What about the savory items?
Starting point is 01:03:31 Was there anything that stood out to you? Which would you? Oh, the rest of them? Yeah. What was this thing? Mitch, which one was that? The cheesy Gordy to Crunch. I like that.
Starting point is 01:03:40 Yeah. That one's good. Yes. That's great. That's a good, that's a big win for me, honestly. Yeah. Cheesy Gordy to Crunch is one of the best. So, we reviewed Taco Bell.
Starting point is 01:03:51 We've reviewed it a couple times. Are you running out of content for this podcast because you've reviewed every chain restaurant? We ran out years ago. Yeah. The first episode, we didn't have any content. Okay. I, this is, I fight, this is the best it's ever gone. This is our best episode.
Starting point is 01:04:06 Do you ever have like the mascots of fast routine's come on as characters? Oh, no. Oh, we did have, we had our buddy Matt Koalic play the Noid ones. Play the Noid. That was a lot of fun. What's the Noid? Domino's. Domino's mascot.
Starting point is 01:04:18 Okay. Yeah. You should start doing that. We have Jack from Jack in the Box. I hear he's difficult. You might get sued. Yeah. I hear he's difficult.
Starting point is 01:04:26 I think we could get biofair use. Say it's a parody. Yeah. You want us to turn it into a little like a character. Like a little comedy bing bing. A little comedy bing bing, eh? Yeah. Comedy bing bong.
Starting point is 01:04:34 We can do a little comedy bing bong. Sorry. Sorry. I should let Irma out of the room too. But anyways, this is your first Taco Bell experience. This, this is a, this is a glorious day. And you seem like you don't even, it seems like you didn't even like any of it. I told you I liked that one.
Starting point is 01:04:52 But you liked the, you liked the cheesy gordita crunch. Yes. How do you feel about, now that you've had it, how do you feel about talking about it? Well, you told me I'm going to get diarrhea, so now I'm afraid. You're not going to get diarrhea. That's the reputation. That's the, that's the bad reputation. You're not going to get diarrhea.
Starting point is 01:05:07 I promise you. I did have a friend who, uh, when I worked in video games, he ate nothing but Taco Bell for an entire month. His name, although I think he listens sometimes to the podcast. I'm not sure if he wants this shared, but, but he ate nothing but Taco Bell for like a month. This was like his gamer diet. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:22 And then he was getting really sick and he went to the doctor and he got diagnosed with scurvy. Shit. He didn't, he was getting no vitamin C. He was just getting food with no nutrition. Oh yeah. Yeah. Was he also out at sea?
Starting point is 01:05:36 Yeah. That wasn't the other element. Gaming at sea. That sounds nice. Um, look, this is a big day for you. Is it? Yeah. How can you tell me what's a big day for me?
Starting point is 01:05:49 Because you had Taco Bell and you're at my apartment. No. The apartment part is a momentous. It's just the last time you'll, you'll see this place. Most likely. Why do you say that? I don't know. I'm going to close up shop here.
Starting point is 01:06:03 Why don't you ever invite me over? You're, you're not going to, it's going to be basically like this. There'll be Taco Bell everywhere. So what are we going to do? Watch the game. Which game? Celtics. Okay.
Starting point is 01:06:15 Really? Yeah. Why not? All right. There's a Celtics game on, there's a Celtics series going on right now acts as a matter of fact. You guys want to set something up? Watch game three or four?
Starting point is 01:06:26 Sure. I'll do that. Really? Yeah. Why don't you also, hey, you could maybe watch Monday Night Raw or SmackDown. Yeah. I'd rather go to PWG. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Come back. Come to PWG with us. All right. There we go. Because there's a big one coming up. We're going to proceed to one, but you probably, it's very soon. So I don't know if you'll be able to go, but we'll, we'll talk about one downtown. We'll talk about that off mic.
Starting point is 01:06:47 Yeah. All right. Cool. Hey, I got some friend hangouts coming up. So I guess at this point, the thing to do Mitch is we should just get to our final thoughts on Taco Bell in the interest of time. Yep. And so Gillian, here's how this will work.
Starting point is 01:07:03 We'll each go around. We'll sort of give our assessment of this chain. And I think since it's your first experience, and Mitch and I have reviewed this a few times before, we'll go first. Yep. We'll go, both go first and we'll let you take us home. I'll learn from the masters. That's right.
Starting point is 01:07:17 We are. We are foodies and we are proud of it. Here, I'll start things off. Gillian's staring at me. So the, the Wild Naked Chicken Chalupa, I love the Naked Chicken Chalupa. It's a great menu item. I hope it just becomes a staple. I hope they, they stop taking it off and putting it back on and jerking us around.
Starting point is 01:07:36 Just leave that bad boy on the menu 365 days a year. A Cheesy Gordita Crunch is a classic. I also got myself a Bean Burrito just cause I wanted that classic Bean Burrito. I like a Del Taco Bean Burrito over it, but the Bean Burrito they have there is actually, this is a point of contention for me, Mitch, but the Bean Burrito they have there is quite nice. They have a great Bean Burrito. Dear listeners, Mitch rolled his eyes. Yes, it's true.
Starting point is 01:07:56 He love, he always brings up Del Taco. Well, he got some gift certificates. Maybe he's being paid off by Del Taco. I have, I have said this before. Hold on. I'm an agent of Del Taco. The dough boys can't be bought. Except for you.
Starting point is 01:08:09 I have no, I have not sold myself out. I have loved Del Taco since before I even sniffed the idea of having a chain restaurant podcast. Sniff, sniff. You can be bought. I cannot be bought. Robot. I call him a robot cause he's boring. Come on.
Starting point is 01:08:25 Oh my God. That's not nice. I know, but it's good. The, uh, the. Does your mom listen to this podcast? She was on the podcast. She did. How'd she do?
Starting point is 01:08:37 She was great. Everyone loved her. I bet they did. She was a delight. I started getting a little acting up a little too much. She spanked me on the podcast. And then you acted up some more. I need another one.
Starting point is 01:08:48 Wait, is that the camera that you used to look at your cats right next to you? Yes. This one right here. This is the famed cat camp. This is the iFam care. It looks like the head of Gort. You fucking loser. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Starting point is 01:09:01 You're the one with a Star Wars doll. You got the captain. I don't know how that came here. That's not mine. I don't like Captain Phasma. Oh yeah. It's been a staple on your desk for two or on your, your table for two years. You know what?
Starting point is 01:09:12 Throw it into, throw it into fucking hell. Here's what we'll do. We'll give this away. We'll give away your Captain Phasma figure. Whoever finds Gillian at old PWG show. Oh Lord. We'll buy a new Captain Phasma for them. Um, bean burrito, refried beans, real cheddar cheese, diced onions, red sauce.
Starting point is 01:09:28 I like the onions a lot. I like the red sauce a lot. Which show is a little bit more cheese distribution. So if a strawberry Skittles freeze akin to the Baja blast, I will just say it kind of had that, that burn that you get from the strawberry Skittles, not in a good way. And like, like it made it less refreshing. Um, that said, this is a five fork restaurant. The Taco Bell gets five.
Starting point is 01:09:47 Wow, Nick. Five forks? Yes. Five forks. Five out of five forks. Do you give out spoons and you give out forks? No, but I should now. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:55 I guess you could. And you know, I will get. You need to have me on the show long. Wow. Yeah. This is a five out of five forks. I mean, like, like, like the, just what they do is so it's, it's innovative. It's consistent and it's, it's specific.
Starting point is 01:10:08 And you know, I prefer Del Taco, but there's no reason to deny Taco Bell. It's glory paid for by the Del Taco corporation. Come on. No shit. I'm no shill for Del Taco. No, you are. No, I'm not. You 100% are.
Starting point is 01:10:20 This comes from my heart. You do it for nothing. All right. Go Mitch. I'll do it for free. Whatever you want. Wrap it up. Well, you want to get out of here?
Starting point is 01:10:31 Yes. Why? All right. Look, I love Taco Bell. It's great. It's, I've said it's one of my favorite restaurants and it is. Restaurant is one of my favorite restaurants. Do you dine in?
Starting point is 01:10:44 I, I, I don't dine in often. Then it's not your favorite restaurant. I've, I, every time there's a new promotion, I know it's gimmicky. I'll go and try it. And a lot of times they knock it out of the park with it. I had the strawberry skittles freeze, not today, but I did have one and I liked it. Today I got a Baja Blast with Gillian. I also got a cheesy Gordy to Crunch, which I have not taken a bite of yet because we,
Starting point is 01:11:05 because we, we, we kind of jumped right into things. And then I had both of the wild chicken chalupas, the wild and mild. One of them was not that great. The other one was great. Here's an issue. Yeah. My, my, the, the Doughboys card got turned down at Taco Bell. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:21 And then that's going on here. That's why you better open your mail. And then the system was on the fritz. It was a while. Are you not paying the credit card bill? I paid the credit card bill consistently. Now you're getting yelled at too. What's going on here?
Starting point is 01:11:32 What's in that mail bag? Also, she turned to me and asked me that knowing that this would, that would not be your responsibility. I can set up some monthly bill pay. My landlord gets paid. Does he not? I don't know. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:47 We don't know. Me neither. Who didn't pay the bill? It's been paid. It's paid in full. I think there was probably some, possibly someone spotted some fraud, possibly someone spending $200 at Taco Bell. It was flagged as suspicious.
Starting point is 01:12:02 That maybe that's possibly what happened. Yeah. Anyways, I love Taco Bell. It's great. It's not precisely Mexican food. It's a different thing just like how Domino's is different from pizza. What? It is.
Starting point is 01:12:14 And for that, What is Domino's? If not pizza. It's a different type of pizza. I give it. It's a type of pizza. So it's pizza. I give it five forks.
Starting point is 01:12:23 Five forks. All right. Now she's going to ruin it. She's going to give it like zero. Your range is zero to five forks. Partial forks are permitted. You're killing me. Why are you giving five forks?
Starting point is 01:12:33 Just go ahead. I've said nothing. He nice. All right. I didn't like the pocket. Yes. The Crunchwrap Supreme. He did not like the Dorito one is difficult to eat because the dust gets on your fingers.
Starting point is 01:12:49 Just like Doritos. Yeah. Yeah. But that's not a selling point. Okay. Fair. The one where the chicken is the wrapping strange. Yep.
Starting point is 01:12:58 I agree. The one that I liked. The one that I liked. I liked. The cheesy Gordita Crunch. My favorite. Which I love that you liked it. The other two I haven't had.
Starting point is 01:13:06 Which one? One is just another chicken chalupa. Or what a chicken? Yeah. Chicken chalupa, right? Yeah. And the other one is a... Not a naked chicken chalupa.
Starting point is 01:13:15 Just a chalupa with chicken in it. Yeah. Yeah. And I enjoyed the drink. That's pretty good. Out of five forks. What would you give it? Two.
Starting point is 01:13:23 God damn it. Wow. Gillian. I liked two items. Wow. God damn it. What's it to you? Well, I'd be there that takes it canonically out of the platinum plate club.
Starting point is 01:13:33 God damn it. Oh, is that bad? Yes. Bad. What happens if it's in the platinum plate? Let me guess. Not no fucking eye of newton the taco for you. Why would you fuck with me if you think I'm a witch?
Starting point is 01:13:47 Good point. Because I want to get turned into a toad or whatever. What do I need to say? What do you get if it's in the plate? Are you being paid off by Taco Bell? Wow. What's achieved if they're the platinum plate club? It's just an honor.
Starting point is 01:14:03 Yeah. You know, like an honor. Today was your first day eating Taco Bell. Moving on. The honor was theirs. That was our review of Taco Bell. It's time for a regular segment. We've got a bunch of chips and we're going to eat them all.
Starting point is 01:14:17 It's chips and hail. Rest you rangers. There's no bag too big. No bag too small. When you've got chips, just call. Ch-ch-ch-chips and hail. Rest you rangers. Ch-ch-ch-chips and hail.
Starting point is 01:14:32 TBD lyrics here. You know it never fails once we're involved. Somehow these chips will eat them all. Ch-ch-ch-chips and hail. All right. Rich, you've brought out Irma, your other cat. I have. When we were just taking pictures of me and Irma
Starting point is 01:14:50 while you were singing. I took a video. You took a video. I was kissing her. That's adorable. That's cute. Everyone's going to love that. Oh, the fans are going to creep their jeans.
Starting point is 01:15:01 All right. So we've got some ruffles, mozzarella and marinara that my lovely wife Natalie was very nice enough to pick up for us. So these are supposed to be, I guess, flavored like mozzarella sticks. At least that's the iconography they have on the back. Gillian does not like the sound of this.
Starting point is 01:15:15 Gillian will pass these to you. Are you a chips fan? Yeah, I like a chip. You like a potato chip? You like a corn chip? She has made a face. I like a potato chip. It seems like you like them.
Starting point is 01:15:24 I would describe that face as repulsed. Oh man, these have such the smell of, over the years, every chip slash combo slash everything is trying to do like pizza flavor. Right. And just smelling into the bag, it smells like that fake pizza flavor. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:44 Here, send that back over this way. Mozzarella and marinara. I got to taste these. Great pass, Mitch. Mitch just kind of threw them into the center of the table. Gillian. Not supportive. Very nice of you.
Starting point is 01:15:55 Thank you. You're so welcome. So these, yeah, they kind of, I mean, they look like just like a sour cream and onion slash barbecue chip, but there's nothing visually to make these look a mozzarella. I'm going to take a bite. I like them. What the fuck?
Starting point is 01:16:10 Really? They taste just like pizza combos. You're exactly right. That's like, and I like that flavor. Emma's nodding. What do you think, Emma? I couldn't figure out what they tasted like, but then you just said pizza combos and I was exactly
Starting point is 01:16:21 what they tasted like. Yeah, they're good. I don't think they taste like mozzarella sticks at all. No, they really don't. I can taste a little bit of the mozzarella in there, but yeah, they don't taste like mozzarella sticks. I'm going to say it just has too much of that, of the fake marinara flavor for me.
Starting point is 01:16:35 Like it just like, it tastes so much, so oregano-y, which, and I like oregano, but it just, no. It's more pepperoni pizza than mozzarella stick. Moving on. Oh, wow. Well, hold on. What do we do for this? We say it's snack or whack.
Starting point is 01:16:49 I mean, we can say snack or whack. Snack or whack. I'm going to say whack. Whack. I give it a snack. Emma? Emma? Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:16:57 I don't know if I need that as a snack on. Whack. Wow. Three whacks. Three to four. Two snack. Moving on. Three whacks.
Starting point is 01:17:06 That's your normal routine right now. Oh, my God. Oh, Lord. That, I don't do that sort of thing. Well, that's weird. It's just like a restaurant. We bow your feedback. Let's open up the feedback.
Starting point is 01:17:17 We got a voicemail today. All right. Let's take a quick listen to this. Hey, Nick. Hi, Mitch. This is Chris from Portland, Oregon. I'm flying into LA in a few weeks here to see the new players joined podcast show live.
Starting point is 01:17:32 And I was just curious, what do you guys think is the must-stop restaurant in LA that I have to go to to get the full experience? Burger Brigade for Life because you can't eat a spoon. Thanks, guys. Hey, fuck you, buddy. Thanks for the question, Chris from Portland. That's not nice. Hey, fuck you, buddy.
Starting point is 01:17:52 Margaret said it. Wait a minute. So, Gilly and I, look, again, you ran from this term earlier, but you are someone with some knowledge of the LA food scene. If you were to recommend someone from Portland, they're coming out here for a little bit. Yeah, what are they coming out for? They're coming out here to see a live podcast record.
Starting point is 01:18:09 Oh, OK. For a different show. Not our show. All right. But, yeah, so is there anything you think of like, this is the one must-visit restaurant? You got to try this place? Hmm.
Starting point is 01:18:19 You can name a couple. You know what's fun? I don't know if it's like my favorite food, but have you ever been to the Pacific Dining Car? Oh, that's a classic spot. I love Pacific Dining Car. It's a couple locations. There's one on the west side, one downtown.
Starting point is 01:18:33 Yeah, that's a great spot. And it's open like 24 hours, right? Yeah. Just an old school steak place. I think it's actually featured in the Denzel movie, right? Yeah, training day. They have a famous dining scene there. They go there in training day.
Starting point is 01:18:44 What about Musso and Franks? Musso and Franks is good, but you're right. I mean, it's good. That is a classic LA spot. But you know how it is? There's like, sometimes there's some food there that's, there's some food there that you'll get that's great, and then there's other stuff that I don't love as much.
Starting point is 01:18:56 Right. But it is like a classic. I'm just thinking about LA icons. Yeah. Here's what I think. I mean, those are, those are great LA icon ones. And, you know, it certainly pinks hot dogs. No, I would, I would say don't go there,
Starting point is 01:19:07 but that's like an icon people think of. But I was going to say this. Like, like, like, uh, you got that was outrage. You got, she was outraged. I agree with her. Let me guess. In and out burger, buddy.
Starting point is 01:19:21 No, I was going to say, I was going to name three spots. B.S. Takari already mentioned. Rustic Canyon on the west side is my favorite restaurant in LA. It's fantastic. Sort of farm to table. You just spent a little bit of money. I would also say Jit Lada.
Starting point is 01:19:32 Oh yeah. Jit Lada is great. Great Thai restaurant. And it's very unique. And, um, uh, it's a, it's very, very much a different side of LA cuisine. Here, I'll give a fat. I'll give a, uh, like a fast food place.
Starting point is 01:19:43 That's specific to this area. Not in and out. Piquito Moss. No. Okay. No. Top round. Oh, top round is pretty good.
Starting point is 01:19:52 Yeah, sure. But that's new. So? It's not just a chain. Yeah. There's a lot. There's a lot of good... I would say...
Starting point is 01:20:02 For this, this is for a burger brigade. It depends on the person because like, like, like there's also like, there are lots of great like just random taco trucks and like East LA or whatever. But are you gonna say Philipe or anything like that? Yeah. Philipe's French dip.
Starting point is 01:20:14 That's great. Slash Kohl's. Yes. Both, both claim to have evented the French dip. You can try and both out. This guy, who's a member of the burger brigade,
Starting point is 01:20:22 he can go to the fucking Doug shit cafe for all I care. Wait a minute. My word. It's true. It's a language. It's gonna be cruel to someone just because... Is it pie versus burgers? What is this?
Starting point is 01:20:32 Oh, pie and burger. Oh, hey, that's an option. That's great. Pie hole downtown. That's great.
Starting point is 01:20:40 Pie hole is great. Weiger, Weiger gave pie hole two forks. Yeah, I didn't like pie hole. Okay. Isn't that insane? To each their own.
Starting point is 01:20:48 Oh, Apple Pan. Oh, Apple Pan is great. That's a great one. Great classic burger shop. And some pie there. Yes.
Starting point is 01:20:56 It's a great one. It's great. It's a great one. Thanks, also this is probably too late because we're recording this in advance. So, let's want to help out, Chris, but this will help out someone else.
