Agent Nate Russo returns in Oracle 3, Murder at the Grand View, the latest installment of the gripping Audible original series. When a reunion at an abandoned island hotel turns deadly, Russo must untangle accident from murder. But beware, something sinister lurks in the Grandview's shadows. Joshua Jackson delivers a bone-chilling performance in the supernatural thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Starting point is 00:00:38 Don't let your fears take hold of you as you dive into this addictive series. Love thrillers with a paranormal twist? The entire Oracle trilogy is available on Audible. Listen now on Audible. In 1948, World War II veteran Glenn Bell opened Bell's Drive-In in the Inland Empire city of San Bernardino, California. But it wasn't the Bell restaurant that would make him his fortune or allow his name to persist after his death. Bell was known to frequent San Bernardino taqueria Meat La Cafe, which also counted labor leader Cesar Chavez among its regulars, and eventually he learned its recipes from the
Starting point is 00:01:14 Mexican-American kitchen staff. Though it's disputed how transparent Bell was about his eventual plans. In 1952, after test driving tacos at his own hot doggery, Bell officially shifted from long meat in a bun to ground meat in a tortilla and spent the next decade attempting taco-focused concept called Tacotea and El Taco to some success. Then in 1962, he opened his eponymous Mexican fast-food restaurant in the greater LA suburb of Downey, California, implementing the recipes he acquired and or pilfered from Meatla Cafe. It was this version that became a global brand, and perhaps it explains why the company has, more than any other fast food chain, focused on recipes themselves. At its corporate headquarters in Irvine, California, just a county
Starting point is 00:02:01 away from the first Downey location, stands its innovation kitchen, which has cooked up wholly new and wholly inauthentic items over the decades that conceptually push the very boundaries of food itself. The Mexican pizza, the Crunchwrap Supreme, Doritos Locos Tacos, the cheesy gordita crunch, and the sadly discontinued Bell Beefer, taco meat on a hamburger bun, a sloppy Jose if you will. In 2017, the company began its first major forays into the territory of its young brand stablemate KFC, Crispy Chicken. But its naked chicken chalupa,
Starting point is 00:02:35 which used a folded chicken patty as a shell, confused consumers and its naked chicken chips, an attempt at a tortilla chip form factor flat nugget, fell flat. Iteration continued however and here the brand found success not in adding hats chips, an attempt at a tortilla chip form factor flat nugget, fell flat. Iteration continued, however, and here, the brand found success not in adding hats on hats but in simplification. Its 2023 Crispy Chicken Nuggets were a test kitchen hit, and this year, they followed up with Crispy Strips, available on their own or as the protein within tacos and burritos. Who knows what the future holds for the Innovation Kitchen?
Starting point is 00:03:04 Probably some real weird shit that tastes good as hell. But the company's past is owed in large part to a different kitchen. The Meatla Cafe's. This week on Doughboys, we return once Doughboyz, the podcast about chain restaurants. I'm Tiger Weiger, along with my co-host Tum Cruise, the spoon man Mike Mitchell. Tum Cruise, the spoon man Mike Mitchell. Tum. Tum like Tums, or Tummy Tum Tum, or just Tom, but pronounced the way Mitch says Mom as Mum, as cute. I considered Tum Chooz, but at that point,
Starting point is 00:03:55 it's so removed from the real thing, I wasn't sure it made sense anymore. Thank you for the best podcast, at Grip Grand, roast at birdfuck.com. How about that? Thanks Grip Grand. I wonder how we got that, it sounds kind of like a strange. Sounds a little horny.
Starting point is 00:04:08 It sounds a little horny. What, did you like? By the way, I just wanna start this episode off with a prayer. Okay, great. Um. It is a Christian podcast. Dear God, please let this episode go viral.
Starting point is 00:04:19 We, me and my guests are praying that this episode will go viral, not just viral, but the most viral any podcast has ever gone. And no monkey paw twists, no new virus. We want it to go viral. Thank you, amen. Amen.
Starting point is 00:04:35 That was beautiful. Wow. Ha ha ha. We- We just shook hands with our guests. Ha ha ha. My guest and I have discussed- Your guests. My guest and I have discussed... Your guests.
Starting point is 00:04:46 My guest and I, we've discussed... We've discussed virality. Yeah, sure. And what we, you know, we just want today's episode to go viral. Well, that's what we all want. We're making internet content. You know, that's ultimately the goal.
Starting point is 00:04:59 And... We're always chasing, everyone is always chasing the virality. You're always chasing views. You're always chasing hits. Page views chasing the virality. You're always chasing views, you're always chasing hits, page views, you know? Yes, yeah. And you could be coy about it, or you could do what you're doing
Starting point is 00:05:12 and just be honest about that's what this is. Yeah, and you could pray to Almighty God. But you don't want the monkey paw. You don't want a little twist. That was a smart move you did there. And I caught it. And I don't know if our listeners caught it, but that was really savvy, because you're a man who's prayed before. You know if our listeners caught it, but like, that was really savvy because you're
Starting point is 00:05:25 a man who's prayed before. You know that sometimes God wants to fulfill your wish, ironically. Yes. And so. He is, he is. I mean, God is like any genie. Yes.
Starting point is 00:05:34 You have to, you have to be like, you got to be clear on all of your wishes. He's like, basically, like the top genie. He's like the most powerful genie. God is the top genie. God is the top genie. God, you're the top genie. And also, genie, you're free.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Yeah, and genie, you are free. Who could forget when Robin Williams passed away and genie was free? Beautiful. Mitch, I hope this episode does go viral. I hope your prayer works. I have a feeling your prayers are- But not with the monkey.
Starting point is 00:06:03 I don't want my pants to fall down and my tiny dick to be out and and then it gets millions of views. You know what I mean? I really hope that doesn't happen. You're saying that tiny dick guys want their dick to be shown off recently? That's our buddy JF's theory. So we've got guys with small hogs and guys with huge hogs,
Starting point is 00:06:19 the ones who are shown off. They both like to show it off. Which I get. But I was going to say, like, I thought when you're talking about virality, I thought you meant, like, ironically, that it would be like, oh, it will go viral. You'll all get a virus.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Like, you'll all get some sort of disease. Oh, no, not that virality. Yeah. No, no. As a man, I'm dealing with long COVID. I don't like, the only viral I like is online. Yeah, me too. This virtual insanity we're all living in now.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Jemara Choir sang it. Oh boy. Correctly years ago. They were soothsayers. Yes. Prophets. You know Dutton loved Jemara Choir and had a Jemara Choir poster in his house in LA.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Totally by that. He loved Jemara Choir. Yeah. Jemara Choir, Jemara Choir? You ever go to that place? The floors were crazy. I couldn't stand still. Jamiroquai. Jamiroquai? Ever go to that place? The floors are crazy. Ha ha ha. Can stand still.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Is this the 1997 MTV Music Video Awards? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Sounds funny. I mean, it is funny. I think we got embarrassed by just doing jokes, just in general. Yeah, sure. We got to introduce our guests, of course. But also, I had a bathroom breakdown before the episode even started. I don't think it counts as a bathroom breakdown, because it was pre-show.
Starting point is 00:07:37 We hadn't really gotten into it yet. I was going to tell you all about it then. No, go for it. Go for it. I listen to Future Islands, Seasons, which is a great Letterman performance, we've said it on here before. And then the other song I listened to was
Starting point is 00:07:51 the song that we were listening to beforehand. Oh. Which is 10% luck, 50% skill, and then we did a Doughboy's version that Amelia kind of knocked out of the park. What is that? Because I said like 10% shit and then. 10% shit, 5% piss, five percent cum,
Starting point is 00:08:09 eight percent piss, nine percent yum. Or crumbs. Crumbs. Crumbs. So you have three body fluids and then we get to food. I guess that's what my guess is. Yeah. In the right ratios there.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Yeah, 15% come. What are the actual numbers? 50%. 50% come. Another 50% come. I've heard that, so like I'm so out. It's where like 150% come. I'm so out of touch with modern, with contemporary music,
Starting point is 00:08:38 and I assume that song came out in the past five, 10 years. I don't know what it is, but I've heard it in some. 15 years ago. 15 years ago. We were guessing before, and oh, you weren't in the room. I said, guess how many views this has. Everyone, like, a million, I have a guess, like 1.6 million or something.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Yeah. Our guest guessed 3 million, and then Casey guessed 30 million. It's 380 million views. Yeah, those songs get, like, looped endlessly. People are always watching those and listening to them. So, like, that song, I was trying to think what context I must have heard that song. But, because it would have,
Starting point is 00:09:09 the only place I hear new music are like at the gym. My guess is if you play like NBA 2K. That's what I want, yes. Yeah, it was probably in a video game. That's probably where I encountered it. I was thinking it's also a good workout song. Like it'd be a good running song because it's very intense and like heavy driving.
Starting point is 00:09:24 So maybe you've heard it at the gym. I mean, I feel like it was played on NBA ads. It was a song that was everywhere. It's the Linkin Park guy we also found out. There's also, remember the name is also Ed Sheeran. Oh, fuck. Ed Sheeran? Sheeran.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Sheeran. Sheeran. You said it wrong before the episode started. I said it wrong before and then I still got it wrong. Everyone corrected you and then you got it wrong again. It's fine. Ed Sheeran. Ed Sheeran. Ed Sheeran song.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Sheeran, you nailed it. That also remembered the name, featuring Eminem and 50 Cent. How many views does that one have? That's a great question. You know what I was gonna try to look up is how many views Virtual Insanity has, cause I bet you. I would not be shocked if virtual insanity
Starting point is 00:10:06 crusted a billion views. I feel like people just listen to that. It's such a popular song. Oh, my God. Okay. The Jumeirah Choir official... Vimo? Vimo? Vivo. Vivo. Vivo. By the way, I think Vivo was owned by some huge label,
Starting point is 00:10:24 I'm not sure what it is, but it's one of those things where all these bands have, all these artists have Vivo effects to their name for their video channels. You guys have a billion views? Yeah. Anyone else want to get, oh, our guest is very politely not saying anything. Aw.
Starting point is 00:10:39 I looked it up, so I can't answer. Wags. Yeah. Maybe I could disguise my voice. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Maybe like 1.3 billion. 1.3 billion. Pretty good guess.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Guess what? Whoever that guy is who's guessing it. Yeah. Way off, way off, less than remember the name views. 319 million. That's still a lot of views. That's still a lot of views. That's still a lot of views. It's a lot of views.
Starting point is 00:11:09 If this episode does 319 million. With the viral sensation. So, you know. Look, we have a lot of, me and my guests have a lot of, we have a lot, and I've known him for a long time. I've never heard him. This is new to me.
Starting point is 00:11:24 This is a new voice. Right. time. I've never heard him. This is new to me. This is a new voice. Right. Yeah, I've never done it. Emma, let's hit him with the drop. Just wanna mention this real quick. Real quick. Real quick. As much as people would think,
Starting point is 00:11:44 I don't have a lot of wrist strength bingies bingies bingies that's just like a man yeah and I'm just like a little boy uh oh yeah that sucks bingies bingies bingies Oh, yeah. That sucks. Bingies. Bingies. Bingies. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:12:12 That was a good beat. I thought that was a good beat. Yes, here is that file. My IG name is at Cakewalk Backwards. Cakewalk Backwards. But my real name is Shrimp Claw. Wow.
Starting point is 00:12:27 I won't say what his actual name is. But thank you, Shrimp Claw. Thanks, Shrimp Claw. That was a great, uh. Sometimes these have, like, the drop has like a grand theory behind it. It's like an isolate one thing and sort of be like, we'll just take that to its logical conclusion.
Starting point is 00:12:44 This one, I feel like, was more kind of just like scatter shot, but it did have the fingies as kind of a landing bed. It was an interesting approach. Yeah, I know. I enjoyed it. I liked it. It was good. I liked it.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Is this our? Well, you shouldn't introduce our guest. Jobs at Birf Rock.com. But is this our 501st episode? Is that in the order or no? I don't know if this will be exactly sequential in terms of release. I think we're recording this one a little in advance.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Yeah. This will be out July 3. Yes. So it might be 502, 503. Sorry to our guest. That's okay. I'm just happy to be here. We apologize to our guest for that. It's fine. I hope that our guest speaks like this in that voice the rest of the episode. Yeah, maybe I get stuck here. You know, speaking of our guest, Mitch, and speaking of potentially going viral, I have a little surprise of my own. Wait, what? I figured because of what our guest is involved in,
Starting point is 00:13:40 I might go into Clark Kent mode for this episode. Wow. Put on some specs. Oh my god. Regular four eyes. That's amazing. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha like, just go back, drop into my normal voice. And just be myself here with you guys. It was really hard not to be a part of it. You were, I didn't even recognize you as a human being.
Starting point is 00:14:10 I was, I'm happy you're back. Thank you so much. I mean, you know, I'm an actor. I act and do voices and stuff. Acting major. It's just acting major. It just came naturally to me to kind of disguise myself that way, kind of like you are now.
Starting point is 00:14:23 That's right. Yeah, I can barely tell that you look exactly like Clark Kent. You gave me, I mean, immediately I thought, it's like falling down to like on vacation. It's like just like a direct to video falling down sequel. Yeah, just a little chill. The recast me as Michael Douglas. I'm going to the Bahamas. Yeah. There is a seriousness to it, but kind of having fun. He's having fun down sequel. Yeah, just a little chill. The recast me as Michael Douglas. I'm going to the Bahamas.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Yeah, there is a seriousness to it, but kind of having fun. He's having fun, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like the glasses, they look sharp-wise. I like them. These are my blue light glasses that I used before bed. So, you know, we'll see if they make me a little sleepy.
Starting point is 00:14:57 I think I'll be all right. Does it help you go to sleep? It does, it helps a lot. I've been, I guess I do have blue light glasses. I just had to get glasses. I turned 40 and could not see anymore. Right, it happened. Yeah, and then at night I've been wearing my glasses.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Yeah, this is like, I became a big, because I had insomnia for many, many years. I mean, I'm still dealing with it, but I've gotten big into like light. You had an insomnia before, insomnia cookies even wore us out here. That's true, bitch. Insomnia diagnosis does predate the existence of the before insomnia cookies even were as out here. That's true, bitch. My insomnia diagnosis does predate the existence
Starting point is 00:15:27 of the chain insomnia cookies. Oh, I thought insomnia was because of the cookies. Like, I thought people got insomnia. I first thought it was the cookies. No, actually, I thought it just came later. When you saw insomnia cookies, you thought that was like, it was like a medical term? I thought it was, no, I just kind of thought it was like,
Starting point is 00:15:42 oh, stay up all night. And then it's like, stay up all night, cookies or something. And then people were eating them, and they were going crazy. And then people started getting insomnia. That's, I think there might be a direct connection. I thought the cookies came first. Yeah, it could be, it could be, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:54 ultimately causal there. But, but I know, I do think insomnia, the disease came first. OK, that's fair. Oh, the disease came first. I think so, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I think so.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I would guess insomnia came before insomnia cookies, I would guess. That'd be my guess. I mean, yeah, the disease came for seven days. I think so, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I think so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would guess insomnia came before insomnia cookies, if I had to guess. That'd be my guess. I mean, yeah, but I'm not a doctor, but I just had a theory there. Yeah, none of us are doctors. Yeah. He's an actor, though.
Starting point is 00:16:13 He could be a doctor. Exactly. Have you ever played a doctor? No, no, I don't get cast that way. Oh, you'd be a great doctor. Thank you. I think that would be going against type. Really, you think so?
Starting point is 00:16:22 Yeah, I don't usually play smart people. Oh. No, it's okay. I, I don't usually play smart people. Aw. No, it's OK. I am really, really smart as a person. You have to be really, really smart to play dumb people too. So they always say, my man. Sure. I got an audition I got for a doctor just the other day.
Starting point is 00:16:40 It was for him. Oh, the movie. Wait, that was a doctor role? It was a doctor role. Wow, how about that. And it was like the first line is like, I mean, this is- Hi, I'm Dr. Dumbass.
Starting point is 00:16:50 I went to Dipchick University. I mean, like the first thing was like, you have a lateral sprain of the whatever. And I was just like, this is, no one is gonna believe me saying those words. Especially when you say it like that. You have a lateral sprain of the whatever. I don't know. I believe you.
Starting point is 00:17:05 I believe you in anything. Anything you do. But then I did just audition for a feral man yesterday, which was much better. I fit for a guy who was like, da! I was like, gimme chocolate, and I was eating chocolate. Great birthday boy sketch, feral man. Hell yeah, my man. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:22 You were the titular feral man. I was the feral man. Yeah. What was his name? Mark Delvecchio or something? It was a very funny name. A perfect funny name. Beck is back. Beck is back.
Starting point is 00:17:30 It's so good to be back. No, you can keep going. I was just saying it's great to be back. It's been too long. It's been too long. Speaking of the birthday boys, right off the bat, you made me do this in New Orleans. We were just in New Orleans together. List your favorite birthday boys, top to bottom, go.

Starting point is 00:18:49 Yeah, I'm back, baby. And you're back, not just on the podcast, but also back from the Bayou. You were down there with the Spoon Man. I was. We were ripping it up down in Nola. We had a blast down in Nola. And I wanna ask you.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Yeah. Name some of your favorite Bayou bites. Oh, man, I- Well, here's the thing about Bayou. Interesting, the first thing that came up- Sometimes the bites bite back, you know what I mean? Absolutely. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Sometimes the bites bite back. Yeah, I actually did have a sandwich that bit me. Oh my God, was it a Gator sandwich? No, it was just like, it was haunted. It was a haunted sandwich? Yeah, because ghosts are big down there. Ghosts are huge down there. Oh sure.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Yeah, it was a haunted sandwich that I ate, and it took a bite out of me. We did go on a, we went on a ghost tour together. We did. Did you really? Yeah. I got there late. My flight in was diverted.
Starting point is 00:19:37 There was bad weather in New Orleans, and we got diverted to what's it called, the other place that's close by New Orleans, Baton Rouge. Baton Rouge. I believe, yeah. Pussy ass plane. And so I came in. Pussy ass plane.
Starting point is 00:19:50 It was a pussy ass plane. The pilot was tough. Oh really? The pilot had these huge balls. And he came out to show everybody because he was like, everybody this is a pussy ass plane. I have huge balls, it wasn't me. And he came out and showed everybody his balls
Starting point is 00:20:05 and they're like, yeah man, yeah, perfect. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was really cool. I would like to see that if that is the case, but you got, it did delay, you missed half the ghost story because of this. Just got the end, got the scariest, nastiest ghost story that I don't even wanna, I don't even wanna touch it. Where was the ghost story?
Starting point is 00:20:22 Were you walking around the town? Was it, was it Center One Hotel? Okay. Yeah, you walking around the town? Was it was a Center One hotel? Okay. Yeah, you walked around the town, which also by the way, now I think about it. Oh, your plane was diverted and you missed half the ghost tour. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Yeah, that really is interesting. Yeah, it seems like maybe you were a little scared to come on the ghost tour. No, no, no, no, I wasn't scared. I bind with ghosts. I didn't divert the plane myself at all. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I swear, I swear. My plane was diverted.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Okay. Yeah, I'm totally fine with ghosts. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I believe you. Yeah, no, I'm, yeah, yeah, no, no, yeah, yeah. I'm not scared at all. What do you think of the term boo? Ah!
Starting point is 00:20:59 Ah! Ah! All right, okay, okay. I'm just a- You diverted the plane. I diverted the plane myself. But the pilot still had these huge balls. It was amazing. You guys were halfway there. And the guy who did the tour was very funny. He was like, all right, the tour's
Starting point is 00:21:19 going to end at 10 PM. That's it. And he was doing a great job. He had a Ghostbuster shirt on. I give this guy end at 10 p.m. That's it. And he was, look, he was doing a great job. He had a Ghostbuster shirt on. I give this guy a lot of credit. So that's like selling it right away.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Ghostbuster shirt on, you're like, okay, this guy knows what he's doing. Yeah, and if worst case scenario, we're safe. Because he, you know, it seems like he knows some Ghostbuster stuff. He's in touch with the ghosts, the pathways and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's supernatural. So he had this Ghostbuster shirt on,
Starting point is 00:21:43 but he was like, and he was very much like, I'm going to be the leader of this tour. And then it was like, at 10 PM it ends. And then when Beck and Kyle strolled along, I think he was an SNL fan. And then he was like, the tour ends at 10, but if you want, you can take those wristbands off
Starting point is 00:22:00 and I can give you an extended tour. Like, he did that sort of thing. Yeah, he was kind of like, I could keep hanging out with you all night. I could just kind of come along with you keep hanging out with you all night. Yeah. I could just kind of come along with you and tell you ghost stories if you guys want. And we were like, we're good.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Thank you so much. It was a really great tour. He was a very nice guy. He was great. He was great. He did a great job. But like, I guess the idea being that if he was hanging out with us and we had these wristbands on and he got
Starting point is 00:22:20 caught, he could get in big trouble. He get $500 fine per person. No way. Is that for real? Is that what he told you? That's what he said beforehand. Wait, I don't understand. $500. Does person. No way. Is that for real? Is that what he told you? That's what he said beforehand. Wait, I don't understand. $500.
Starting point is 00:22:28 Does the thing the city enforces? The city says if you go over 10 PM, yeah, yeah. That's what he was saying. For tours? Yeah, for tours. Huh. Maybe the ghosts make that rule. They don't want to be bothered after 10 PM.
Starting point is 00:22:37 It's probably a ghost rule. It is probably a ghost rule. We stopped it like a Matt, whatever her. It's an American Horror Story. Kathy Bates plays her in American Horror Story. Okay. A horrible last story of this house where like she tortured slaves that she owned. But Kathy Bates played her in American Horror Story
Starting point is 00:22:55 and Nick Cage bought the house afterwards. That's wild. And he went bankrupt. And he went bankrupt. He did go bankrupt, yeah. So that's kind of the ghost. Yeah, they were saying that was the ghost. He said that everybody who's owned the house has gone bankrupt,
Starting point is 00:23:07 lost their mind, or got killed, killed themselves. Yeah, died, yeah. Killed themselves, yeah, died. Wow. Yeah. So yeah. It's intense. Yeah, it's pretty intense.
Starting point is 00:23:17 It was an intense story. And you are not supposed to walk onto the awning, because if you do, you get cursed, basically. Yeah. A fucked up story, W wise, but then we had some great bites right after that. We did. That was, that was one of my favorite bite.
Starting point is 00:23:30 And it was. Yeah. Wait, what was it? Verde mart. Verde mart. Verde mart. Yeah. And it's um, it's like this little, it's a little mart, um, on the corner,
Starting point is 00:23:40 little, little store, little quickie mart type thing. Yeah. They have like a full, a huge menu of sandwiches. So your typical like, you know, your little bags of chips and drinks and whatnot. And then just at the register, huge, huge menu, like a little deli. And I had like a fried chicken po' boy.
Starting point is 00:23:56 It was fantastic. And I had a bite of the thing that you had the night before, which was called what, the All-Star or the? I think it was called All That Jazz. All That Jazz, yeah, it makes more sense. I had a bite of somebody's and I thought it was awful. It was so, it was the sloppiest sandwich I've ever. Is it also a po' boy?
Starting point is 00:24:15 What was the form back then? It's a po' boy. It had everything on it. It had like all the meat. It's roast beef, ham, shrimp, has all, it like has everything on it. It was a slippery, saucy situation. I bit into it and things were squirting around.
Starting point is 00:24:28 I don't like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was too much. It sounds like ungepatsche. It's like a little too many combos. What's ungepatsche? Is that a term? It's a Yiddish term meaning one too many things.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Oh, ungepatsche. Or gaudy, overstuffed. It sounds like that sandwich. Yeah. A big part of a good sandwich is the air. Have you heard this? Yeah, sure. You need some know, a big part of a good sandwich is the air. Have you heard this? Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:24:47 You need some air in there. You can't have it packed too tightly. This is a sandwich person on Instagram, I picked it up. Just, you know. I love this. And it's like, you need to have some room for the, we were talking about ratios. Right.
Starting point is 00:24:59 It's all about the ratios. For sure. If you have it stuffed with too much stuff, it's just, I can't, my brain doesn't know what to focus on. A meat stack, we talk about the, like, when it was like, it's like, you know, like we're meat obsessed culture-wise. We're just obsessed with meat.
Starting point is 00:25:13 It's true. And it's like, I don't love when a sandwich is like that much meat. No. That's like, that's not a sandwich, it's the different components. That's like a steak of cold cuts. That's what, exactly, we don't want that.
Starting point is 00:25:24 We don't want that. No, yeah, we don't want that. We don't want that. No, yeah, you don't want it. You need that negative space, like you were saying, that maw. A little air. The maw. Yeah, you need a little air in there. Right.
Starting point is 00:25:35 What is your favorite? Because when I use it, when you say po' boy, I instantly just think of a shrimp po' boy. That's like my favorite. And I also, I feel like that feels to me very much like, I'm down in Dubai, you know? Like, what other context am I getting a shrimp sandwich? A shrimp po' boy. That's like my favorite. And I also, I feel like that feels to me very much like I'm down in Dubai, you know? Like what other context am I getting a shrimp sandwich? A shrimp po' boy is great.
Starting point is 00:25:49 To me that's the classic po' boy, but I can be completely wrong. I've been in New Orleans once in my life. I'm just gonna tell you right off the bat, you are completely wrong. What is the classic po' boy? What's the classic po' boy? The classic po' boy I think is the roast beef.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Roast beef, okay. With the, what do they call the gravy, like the gritty gravy? They have some sort of name for it. They have some sort of name for it, like it's like trash. You know, like a... Trash? Garbage pail or something?
Starting point is 00:26:17 Goo. No, no, no, hold on, hold on. Is it just com? No, they don't call it com. It's jizz. It's like, give me all the jizz on there. No, it's not jizz. It might be jizz, hold on jizz. Give me all the jizz on there. No, it's not jizz. It might be jizz, hold on a second.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Is this the red gravy? Is that what you're talking about? Red gravy. Oh no. What's the gravy? All that jazz. All that jazz. On po' boys.
Starting point is 00:26:34 All that jazz is a little kind of spunky. Yes. You put all that jazz on there. We jazzed it up. No, thank you. You wanna put my jazz on there? Debris gravy? Debris. No, thank you. You want to put my jazz on there? Debris gravy? Debris.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Debris gravy. Debris gravy. Well, I mean, I think it's just called debris. I get why you felt trash. Yeah. It's a tough case. Debris. See, I would not think that.
Starting point is 00:26:59 When somebody told me they had somebody had a roast beef po' boy, I was like, what? That doesn't register to me. I mean, I could be. They pronounce it day-bree, not day-bree. Day-bree. Day-bree. Day-bree.
Starting point is 00:27:12 Day-bree. Yeah. But that's like, I don't remember a lot of the other bites we had. We went to like a couple, we went to a couple fancy, we went to Acha Fala, I think it's called. That was on Saturday. That was on Saturday.
Starting point is 00:27:23 That was really good. That was good. Those were some good bites. Was that like a classic sort of Cajun sort of restaurant? What kind of food were you dealing with? Yeah, I think elevated Cajun. Got it, got it. I think Cajun food can be elevated. I'm just saying, it's an fancier restaurant.
Starting point is 00:27:37 You had a fantastic looking gumbo. I did have a very good gumbo. You seemed jealous, because I think that you were thinking about doing the gumbo and then you didn't do it. I didn't, I highly regretted it. But it's okay, I'll go back. I could sense that. You seemed jealous, because I think that you were thinking about doing the gumbo and then you didn't do it. I didn't, and I highly regretted it. Yeah, man. But it's okay, I'll go back.
Starting point is 00:27:47 I could sense that. You were kind of shaking the whole time. Yeah, and I was like, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Made me feel better made me relax a little bit. That's fucking bullshit. I mean try it out feels great That's not under the table. That's fucking right above the table Honestly not right in my face Look down there. Down there. Damn, dude. I hate getting flipped off.
Starting point is 00:28:25 Casey! What? What? I hate getting flipped off. It's one of my least favorite things. Don't flip me off. As a Boston guy, he can't handle that. I got flipped off once at a Red Sox game.
Starting point is 00:28:36 I lost my mind. The opposing team's fan flipped me off. Wives, you hate getting flipped off. I hate getting flipped off. Is that for real? You hate the flip? When I get flipped off. I hate getting flipped off. Is that for real? You hate the flip? When I get flipped off, I flip out!
Starting point is 00:28:48 Turn down your podcast. I guess it's too late. Maybe we'll get a warning beforehand. Is gumbo one of the most fun food words to say? Yeah. Gumbo. Gumbo. Right up there is jambalaya.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Jambalaya is more fun than gumbo. You fool. You forgot jambalaya over gumbo?. Right up there is jambalaya. Jambalaya is more fun than jambalaya. You fool, you forgot jambalaya over gumbo. It was right there. Jambalaya. Jambalaya. Jambalaya. That's a hoot. That's a hoot.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Yeah. What about, what is the other one? Etouvet. What is it? Etouvet. See, but that one I don't have any confidence in pronouncing. So I get, so it's less fun for me. Etouvet?
Starting point is 00:29:22 Yeah. What is that? Etouvet. I don't know. I also don't really know what it is. Yeah, sounds French. Yeah. I think it's gumbo adjacent. I think it's a dish you've just made up of a bunch of bones. It is a Cajun Creole dish from Louisiana
Starting point is 00:29:33 that translates to smothered in French. Got it. Oh. It's mostly bones. It is mostly bones, right? It is just a pile of bones. Yeah, you just suck the gravy off the bones. Yeah, you suck the gravy off the bones.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Get a little of the meat, kind of like a stew. It's debris on bones. Yeah. Low-key fun to say quesadilla. I know we're not talking Cajun, but quesadilla is pretty fun to say. Ooh, a Cajun quesadilla. Cajun quesadilla would be fun.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Cajun quesadilla just is... Cajadilla? There's some alliterateness to it. Yes, right. What do you say? Cajun... Cajadilla? Cajadilla? There's some alliterateness to it. Yes, right. Yeah. What do you say, ca-ca-cajunday? Cajadilla? Cajadilla?
Starting point is 00:30:08 Cajadilla. What do you put in that bad boy, shrimp and some spices? I guess so, yeah, probably a black and brown. Creole spices, that's pretty fucking fun. I think you could have like a little bit of a, you know, you could have even like, I was thinking like a gumbo style birria taco. Oh, that's fucking-
Starting point is 00:30:21 You know what I mean? Kind of like a little bit of a- That's fun as hell. That's fun as hell. That's huge. That's, this is. Yeah. That's fun as hell. That's huge. That's, this is, well, speaking of huge. Yes. We gotta talk about, we gotta talk some business.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Yes. First of all. Yeah, we're about to taco about some business. Well. Sure. That's what we're talking about. We're talking about personal business. Yeah, personal business. We've been talking about this.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Well, you go ahead. You go ahead. I'll follow your lead. Well, no, I'll follow your lead. No, I was just gonna say, we were talking about this, doing this, go ahead. You go ahead, I'll follow your lead. Well, no, I'll follow your lead. No, I was just gonna say, we were talking about this, doing this, and we're getting very excited. We have a whole plan of things to talk about.
Starting point is 00:30:50 We have a whole plan of things to talk about. Including the prayer at the beginning. The prayer at the beginning was planned out, just so you know. I thought that was great. It was the first attempt to go viral. And we'll see how well it goes. It's kind of up to the listeners and everything,
Starting point is 00:31:01 you know what I mean? But yeah, and if it does, then you gotta pray every episode. Second attempt to go viral is, we're gonna pitch a movie quickly. Yeah, what? Beck Bennett, Mike Mitchell in The Warner Brothers. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:31:16 The titular Warner Brothers. We play The Warner Brothers. Wow. We have Hollywood Adventures, we go around town having Hollywood Adventures. Maybe there's a crossover with the studio where we visit the studio. Yeah, where we guest on the studio.
Starting point is 00:31:27 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But we're the Warner Brothers. We have fun Hollywood adventures. It's a property. Yeah. What do you think of this place? We're really bad. Our pitches are awful.
Starting point is 00:31:36 That's fun, though. Even though it's Warner Brothers studios, like we're like the Nepo. So you're like the failed grandchildren. Yeah. We're still the Warner Brothers. You can check that. And we wear our grandpa's clothes, maybe. Yes the Nepo kids. So you're like the failed grandchildren. Yeah. We're still the Warner Brothers. And we wear our grandpa's clothes, maybe.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Yes, that's fun. So we're like wearing old-timey Hollywood clothes. And we live in the Warner Brothers water tower like the Animaniacs. That's right. It's making me think of Animaniacs. And then when you say you live in the water tower like the Animaniacs, I'm like, this
Starting point is 00:32:02 is just a direct reference to the very popular cartoon. We also have a sister as well, Dot. Her name is Dot. Yeah, well, now I think this is getting too close to Animaniacs for me. Well, she's animated. And we're live action. Just us.
Starting point is 00:32:13 We're live action. But they will draw over us. Yeah. Yeah. Do you think this has any legs? Not to say I'm fully drawn over. I would just say, I feel like you probably could just streamline it a little bit
Starting point is 00:32:25 and just simplify it a little bit. Well, I mean, I think it was more like you guys are two dipshit, like, you know, again, Neppo kids in the Warner Brothers family, you're the Warner Brothers, like that I can track. And it's a little bit more grounded than the version where, you know, again, you're living in the water cooler tower. With an animated sister and an animated older brother. We're open to changes.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Just keep it simple. Yeah. Just keep it simple, yeah. Okay, great. Then we'll just do the animator over our face. Yeah, exactly. We're open to changes. Just keep it simple. Yeah, just keep it simple, yeah. Okay, great. Then we'll just do the Warner Brothers thing. Yeah. Dot the sister, is that her name? Yeah, yeah, Dot the sister is out. Dot the sister, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:51 Okay, great. And you're gonna be named Wacko and Jacko, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, good. That's Michael Jackson references. Yes, right, yeah. Yeah. I love that.
Starting point is 00:33:01 I think Warner Brothers property, Warner Brothers, you have your own property, the Warner Brothers. That's fun. Absolutely. A green lighters go nuts, sticker go nuts. And they could just, and like, so we're gonna guest on the studio, right?
Starting point is 00:33:12 And we're gonna do a movie or a series? I think we're gonna do a movie, I think a movie, I think is what it is. Maybe even a series of movies, like old school, kind of like Chaplin or like, Laurel and Hardy sort of, yeah. Or Hardy, kind of like. Carry on movies.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Yeah, yeah. And we're gonna Carry-on movies. Yeah, yeah. And we're gonna clean up Hollywood. That's fun. And bring it back to what it was. What it was. Yeah, back in the day. We wrote one scene where we were like... It's never good to make things like they used to be.
Starting point is 00:33:37 You know, you're always on the wrong side of history if you're like, let's make it like it was. That's always a bad thing. We have one scene where we get like a really big cartoony bomb and we explode a Harvey Weinstein's jail cell. We get him out, we bring him back to Hollywood. So Weinstein's back. We're just bringing it back to the way it was. We're bringing it back to the way it was.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Do you like this? That makes you sound like just like bad guys. Oh, shit. It makes you sound like villains. No, but like lovable bad guys. Like true bad guys. And we learn a little bit along the way. You learn, like your heart was in the right place.
Starting point is 00:34:06 Yeah. Like we gotta bring back this Oscar winning producer. Yeah. And you just didn't really do your homework in terms of who you were. In the end we put him back in the jail cell and his cell mate, he looks over and it's like, it's a bomb but it has like the jail uniform on.
Starting point is 00:34:22 You know what I'm saying? Yeah. It's like a trick. So now he has to live with a bomb? We're not going to write it exactly, but these are just pitches for like to show the movie that we want to do. But like, you can write it if you want.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Oh, sure. Yeah. I'll write something else. You could be in it too with us if you want. I mean, yeah, I mean, if you want me to. You can't be one of the brothers. You can't be one of the brothers. We could animate Dot over you. Yeah, I was going to say, can't be one of the brothers. We could animate Dot over you.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Yeah, I was going to say, you'd be the sister. OK. We could animate Dot over you. But yeah, I think also we pitch funny ideas and things like that, like a lot like this, like kind of like this idea. Kind of like this. Yeah, like stuff like that. Maybe it's about us pitching the Warner Brothers idea
Starting point is 00:35:00 to a bunch of studios, I guess. Oh, yeah, we're just pitching ourselves to studios. Maybe we're like the Warner Brothers idea to a bunch of studios, I guess. Oh, yeah, we're just pitching ourselves to studios. Maybe we're like the Warner Brothers, and we're like stupid, and we don't know what's going on, and we get to have our own movie. Something along those lines. That's fun. Yeah, I mean, we've got like a bag of gags
Starting point is 00:35:20 or something like that, like physical gags, like old school chickens and like spray bottles and like shorts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're saying like a live chicken? Yeah, like live chickens and little animals. Ambals. Like, yeah, any sort of farm animals
Starting point is 00:35:33 that we can bring into the room. Yeah, yeah. Ambals, the seltzer water. Right. Yeah. The squirting flower, that's a fun one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like the hot foot.
Starting point is 00:35:41 That was a, that's an old school gag you don't see anymore. What's the hot foot? You're acting like a fucking exec right now. You're not excited about this. You're just taking apart the idea. I'm not picking apart the idea. I'm throwing, I'm, I'm, I'm guessing. Yeah, he's collaborating with him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:52 He likes the idea. He wants to do the Warner Bros. I wanna help shape it though. You know what I mean? I wanna be a part of this process. You're acting like a freaking suit. How dare you, Mitch? Maybe it's the glasses, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Mitch, I would never be a suit. That's the gravest insult. That's worse than flipping me off. I'm sorry. Calling me a suit. Damn, you went too far. You know what? That's better now. That's not as bad.
Starting point is 00:36:16 You're a creative. Folk, we're all creative. We are all creatives here. Yeah. Love to self-identify as a creative. Absolutely. I'm a creativeidentify as a creative. Absolutely. Favorite kind of guy.
Starting point is 00:36:27 I'm a creative. I'm a creative. Yeah, that's how I describe it. I'm a creative. That's what I started to be. I'm a content producer. I'm a creative. Yes, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:35 These are things that I... These are important to me. Right. That's why we came to Hollywood. Content creation, being a creative. And to build the brand. Building brands. Building brands and selling them. I have a question for you.
Starting point is 00:36:48 Which is, I was gonna change the subject. We can keep going here. No, I think that we've fully depleted. Yeah, we kind of ran out of our Warner Brothers stuff. Yeah, we kind of was great. Honestly, I think we ran out of the Warner Brothers stuff. As soon as we said we were the Warner Brothers, we ran around pitching wacky ideas.
Starting point is 00:37:04 I don't know. It's pretty good. Well, hopefully an exec out there hears this and we can come in and meet with you As soon as we said we were the Warner Brothers, we ran around pitching wacky ideas. I don't know. It's pretty good. Well, hopefully an exec out there hears this and we can come in and meet with you and talk about the Warner Brothers. And maybe the exec over at Warner Brothers for a chance? Yeah, maybe Warner Brothers wants to make that. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:37:17 Which is releasing a movie that Beck is maybe in. I'm definitely in the Warner Brothers family. So this is a huge. Wait, here's a, since you're talking about brothers, Mitch, I know you don't have a brother. In fact, do you have any brothers? Wow, just... I just like that. I was hoping it was gonna end there.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Speaking of brothers, Mitch, you don't have any. All right, so moving on. Mitch has a sister, your sister Courtney. I have a sister, Courtney. But that's no brother. No, that's no brother at all. He has no idea what it's like to have a brother. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:46 Amelia reminded me that the Gator was here from New Orleans. We bought this on the Gator tour, Wags. Beck was with me when I bought this. How fun. I was right there in the gift shop. This is the Gator head that's on a stick for our audio listeners, Mitch kind of ventriloquism.
Starting point is 00:38:02 From the 500th episode, which maybe sucked. This is, I mean, this episode might, I mean, our guest was great, but I was saying we sucked. Oh, like on this episode? I thought 500 was okay. 500 was okay? Okay. We kind of suck on this episode.
Starting point is 00:38:16 We're sucking today? Yeah, we're doing pretty bad, but Beck's great. I'm feeling good, I'm feeling comfy. We're doing bad? I just think so. This is supposed to be the viral episode. Kiss the gator, it'll be okay. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:38:29 So you know, yeah, wow. Wow. Mm. Mm. Mm. Got teeth. Careful, I know what I was gonna say. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Okay, so you guys are doing bad, I'm doing good. You're doing great. But we're only, like, how long's the episode? We got 35 minutes on the clock right now. Is this a question out of concern or? It's usually gonna be between 90 and 120 minutes. Is it concern for the episode or concern for like, when the fuck do I get to get to it?
Starting point is 00:38:53 No, no, it's like, I'm just trying to find viral moments in it, you know what I mean? That's a great point. Which maybe we'll talk about this, but maybe we'll like act something out later that we can put online and maybe it'll draw people to the episode. Yeah, we can do some sort of, I mean, I feel like our dais is more in tune with what goes viral,
Starting point is 00:39:06 but it's fine. We'll figure something out. Yeah. This is going to go viral. What, you got any ideas over there? No. You know what Amelia was telling us while you're in the shitter for 20 minutes?
Starting point is 00:39:17 Amelia was telling us that, um. It wasn't 20 full minutes. I just listened to two songs. That, uh, that your, your, uh That your routine, your skincare routine, you put beef tallow on your face every night. I'm a French fry. I'm a certified French fry. Isn't that wild?
Starting point is 00:39:32 Was this, did this start after RFK became the, uh? Yes, as a matter of fact, it did. No. No. No. No. But back to the brothers. Yeah, I had two brothers.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What makes him alpha? He's just not like me. He's the fuck man. I think you're alpha, especially with those glasses. Really?
Starting point is 00:40:11 Yeah, sometimes you're like, what's up? It's me, I'm here. Sometimes you're not like, oh, are you okay? Let me help you. Or like, oh, is that okay? You're confident, you're grounded. Look at how he's reacting to you saying he's alpha. I know.
Starting point is 00:40:26 He's a very, he's- I'm thinking myself this way, but I like you. He's as beta as they come. But you've got some alpha energy, I think. Okay. Yeah, yeah. You are not alpha. So what does your brother do? He works in tech.
Starting point is 00:40:37 He works in tech. Does he work in the Bay Area or is he- No, he's down in San Diego. Yeah, San Diego. Okay, San Diego. No, good guess. I mean, that's where you should go, Silicon Valley or Austin. That's where tech is. He's a content creator for X.
Starting point is 00:40:49 The special black man. Just a content creator for X. That's great. Congrats. He works in tech. My older brother is a painter. That's cool. In Oakland.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Wow. Yeah, he paints paintings. That's fucking awesome. Yeah, it's great. He has a studio underneath his house. It's kind of like a tiered, I don't need to describe the house, He paints paintings. That's fucking awesome. Yeah, it's great. He has a studio underneath his house. It's like kind of like a tiered, I don't need to describe the house,
Starting point is 00:41:08 but he has a studio there. And then my younger brother is a beer brewer. Whoa. He's the head brewer at Cerebral Brewing in Denver. That's amazing. A creative family all around. A creative family. A bunch of creatives.
Starting point is 00:41:19 A bunch of creatives. I come from creatives, so you know. If I was a painter, you know what I'd do? I'd paint like a portrait of myself and then let that get old and then I would not age. Oh, so you know. If I was a painter, you know what I'd do? I'd paint like a portrait of myself and then let that get old and then I would not age. Oh, that's smart. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Unless you just start, wait.
Starting point is 00:41:32 You'd let the painting get old so that you could stay young? Yeah, the painting gets older and then I'm eternally young and then I just keep the painting up in the attic. Maybe later on someone will discover it. And they destroy it, you might be in trouble. Yeah, that could be a whole thing. But like, but for now, I'd be fine. And I mean, another good thing is if you want to paint
Starting point is 00:41:50 yourself to be young, you could just paint yourself, paint your face. That's also true. That's true too, yeah. Yeah. That'd be pretty useful. That might, you might look slightly more insane if you do that.
Starting point is 00:41:59 But I don't know what's more insane, painting yourself young or painting a picture to keep yourself young. I don't know which one would be considered more insane. This is Tiger's version of the substance. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Here's the question I was going to ask you.
Starting point is 00:42:13 And this is so good. You would also, you'd have to see all your loved ones and friends pass. Well, that's the curse of eternal life. Yeah, it really is. You see a tucker everlasting or the Highlander or what have you. Of course, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:23 In just a couple of years, I'll probably be gone. You know, that's one. What I think about with, I want to give yourself more, or what have you. Of course, just a couple years, I'll probably be gone. You know, that's one. What I think about with a... I want to give you some more than a couple years. All right, five, six years. Yeah, that's nice. What I think about is, if you actually have eternal life, then you outlive, like, you would outlive
Starting point is 00:42:38 all life on Earth, right? You would outlive the, like, time itself, right? Ultimately, like, the universe would collapse in and of itself, depending on the rules of immortality. So are you gonna be floating? That's exactly what I thought you were gonna be floating around. You would just be a consciousness that's floating, that's just adrift, that's just completely alone and isolated,
Starting point is 00:42:54 and then soon the amount of time that you spend in that reality will be more than all the time you actually spend on Earth. Oh my God. That's not weird. That sucks. Yeah, I wouldn't want that. You'd be a log floating in the universe's toilet, basically.
Starting point is 00:43:07 I guess so, yeah. That's exactly what it is. Just a giant white boy. Just a big old log flying around. Yeah, I don't want to be alive forever. No, me neither. I would honestly, you know, it's hard. I do, I feel like I always think like,
Starting point is 00:43:17 I don't want to get that old. Yeah. Like I don't want to be like living that old with a lot of complications, but I don't know. I can't, it's can't, it feels wrong to really put it out there, because then I might regret saying that. You know?
Starting point is 00:43:31 No, I just don't wanna get up to the age of like, hey, Sonny, I don't wanna get to that age. Like, hey, Sonny. You just don't wanna say hey, Sonny? Yeah. I think you could avoid that. Yeah, I could probably avoid it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:41 You'd be like, hey, little guy. Hey, guy, how are ya? You're set. Yeah. He'd be like, he'd be like, hey little guy. Hey, hey guy, hey guy, how are ya? And you're set. Yeah, yeah. I don't wanna be like, I just imagine like, just like the runniest diarrhea all day long for some reason and like being like,
Starting point is 00:43:55 if you're a total, having a catheter in, just like really old, like, you know, just going to the bathroom all the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like diapers and like not being able to hear anybody or see anything. Sure, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:04 Yeah, I don't want that. No, that sounds, I actually, I think the diarrhea part of it maybe wouldn't be the worst for me as a non-regular guy. Yeah, yeah. I think the fact that like being regular would be okay. I think the not, I think the brain stuff is the thing that would scare me more so.
Starting point is 00:44:19 Yeah. Yeah, do you know what I'm saying? I don't want grape hues. That's a good point. Don't look down, I get a big nest of gray pubes. That's fucking disgusting. That's why you don't wanna get old. That's why you might like off yourself before you get too old.
Starting point is 00:44:31 Once you start seeing gray pubes, you're done. Single silver pubes. Yeah, I could not live with myself without these gray pubes. Would you dye them? Yeah, just dye them. I'm gonna dye my pubes. That's embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:44:41 Insane. Gray hair, pitch black pubes. You'd be showing everybody your pubes. You'd be like walking around with some low cut trousers, the fluff hanging out on top. You'd be like, hey, yeah, I'm gray up here, but check this out. That's got to be legal, right? I think it's 100% legal. Like low cut front jeans?
Starting point is 00:45:05 I wonder at what point is it indecent exposure? Like there's gotta be some sort of so legally defined threshold. It probably depends on what state you're in. I mean, maybe if you can see the top of the leg creases up here, you know? Yeah, can you see like a little bit of neck? I'm gonna call it right now, summer of pubes.
Starting point is 00:45:22 Let's get them out. You think it's the summer of pubes? Yeah. Yeah. Does it feel like for a while people were like let's get rid of pubes. Let's get them out. You think it's the summer of pubes? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, let's get- It felt like for a while people were like, just like, let's get rid of pubes and pubes were out entirely. I feel like pubes have to be back.
Starting point is 00:45:30 I can't fully shave everything down there because it looks- You might accidentally shave off your dick. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just one wrong move and the whole thing's gone. Can I give you a plus side of silver pubes?
Starting point is 00:45:44 Please. No werewolf is gonna to come and suck you off. That is kind of nice. Wait. Wait. I'm sorry. If he has silver pubes, white pubes. Silver. Silver.
Starting point is 00:45:55 Silver pubes. Well, silver pubes are different than white pubes. Silver pubes are different. There's silver in there. Because that's the idea of, oh, if you have gray hair, then a werewolf can't get you. But if he had silver implants. Oh, OK. Silver pubes implants.. There's silver in the air. That's the idea of like, oh, if you have gray hair, then a werewolf can't get you. But if he had silver implants.
Starting point is 00:46:07 Oh, okay. Silver pubes implants. Silver, okay, that's fair, yeah. Yeah. I just figured silver, I know that werewolves don't like silver at all, so I figured the silver pubes would keep them away. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:17 Not greys. Not greys. Greys wouldn't do it. They'd have to be silver. They'd have to be silver. It has to be nice in between. So you have a few years there where it's like a nice, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:46:26 You got a nice window there where you're not gonna get sucked up by a werewolf. You're not gonna get sucked up by a werewolf. Here's what I wanted to ask, back. That's my biggest fear, honestly. Can I, can I, I wanted to say, go for it, go for it. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:46:36 You're gonna get your question. I was just gonna say this. It's not about, I mean, I will also say that a lot of Dracula's also don't like silver either. It depends on the, this is just- Wait, really? Yeah, silver I think does go over between Dracula's and werewolves, but this wasn't about that.
Starting point is 00:46:53 This was about the bathroom, and I got some shit online for a bathroom breakdown and play the music in there. And then they're like, that's just attracting people to know that you're shitting. But I think people don't understand how echoey that bathroom is. And I would rather have music blaring in that bathroom than like hear like little fart sounds occasionally.
Starting point is 00:47:13 I think there's also an aspect of it's for you. It's for you. Not for other people. It's all for you. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It does, cause it's like, well, like I can maybe hear a tinny phone speaker from the bathroom.
Starting point is 00:47:26 But not really. I'm not really paying attention to what's going on in there. Yeah, wouldn't you rather hear 10% whatever instead of hearing a little like, pfft. That, to me, is way more embarrassing. I mean, for you, but for me, I would rather hear the little pfft. Because it's funny.
Starting point is 00:47:39 It's funny. Yeah, it's funny. There's a little pfft. And it's like, no judgment. Yeah, but that is the truth. I'm not laughing with you. I'm getting laughed at. Right.
Starting point is 00:47:48 And then you tighten up and you can't let anything out. That's the worst case. That is the worst case scenario. Unless I am doing a little, and then you're laughing and I'm also like, well, like I know that my friend is laughing. That's fun. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:00 But I'm too self-conscious doing that, I feel like. Yeah. Yeah, it's hard. It's tough. It's a slippery slope. And then there are the people who are like, not at all self-conscious about it, which I'm too self-conscious doing that, I feel like. Yeah. Yeah, it's hard, it's tough. It's a slippery slope. And then there are the people who are not at all self-conscious about it, which I'm sure at some point, at some level is freeing.
Starting point is 00:48:12 I'd like to be in that place where it's just like, oh yeah, I'll just take a shit wherever. I'm never gonna be worried about someone listening in or having an opinion on what I'm doing. I'm kind of that guy. Are you really? I'm kind of okay with pooping anywhere. Not that I'm like, I'm a pretty solid pooper.
Starting point is 00:48:26 Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. It seems like you're a regular guy. Yeah, pretty nice logs. Yeah, pretty smooth moves. Absolutely, yeah. And yeah, I mean, I definitely did have that thing. Can you explain how you can confirm? Yeah, wait.
Starting point is 00:48:42 Dude, I've known this guy for almost 20 years, OK? He's seen my logs. We were battling sketch groups for a long time. Birthday boys, good neighbor. Yeah. The war has finally ended. War has finally ended in New Orleans. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, we finally called peace on it.
Starting point is 00:48:57 But we've squashed. I've known Beck longer than I've known you maybe, Nick, which is kind of crazy. That's wild. Wow, yeah, it is wild. Yeah, we go back. We go right back. Yeah, so we know each other's logs. Yeah, sure. Yeah, I've known you maybe, Nick, which is kind of crazy. That's wild. Wow. Yeah, it is wild. Yeah, we go back. We go right back. Yeah, so we know each other's logs.
Starting point is 00:49:07 Yeah, sure. But yeah, I see your friend's log, if you know him long enough, you've seen a log or two. Your best friends, you've seen their logs? We get pictures. I get pictures. What? I get pictures of my friend's logs.
Starting point is 00:49:19 You were just sitting there, and I was like, wow. Wait, she was just explaining this the other day. What about her and Scorpion? They send pictures of their boobs. Me and Scorpion send each other's logs to each other. Man, that is like. Scorpion, you're a father. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Okay, for our listeners. You and your dad are texting pictures of each other's shit? Yeah. How often? How often? Like once every so, maybe like once in a blue moon, like once or twice, so like a week, a month. So are these like wow, what a good one?
Starting point is 00:49:44 Or is it like wow, look at this goofy poop? It's like blood this time, or like a week, a month. So are these like, wow, what a good one? Or is it like, wow, look at this goofy poop? It's like blood this time. Oh my gosh. Is there any warning shot? Like, hey, can I send you one? No. No, it's just like, boom, scorpion gets you. So if you get an image from a scorp in the middle
Starting point is 00:49:57 of a meeting, you're like, I can't. It's dangerous. It's either it's usually a picture of poop or his scalp to show that he's balding. Wow. Jesus Christ. Can you put me on that chain? I would love to be a part of that.
Starting point is 00:50:11 It seems like a guy would welcome any additions. Be fine with any stranger hopper on. He's giving money on this, honestly. Yeah. Now, if you've got silver pubes but a bloody log, I don't know what that means for Dracula, if he's gonna come and get you or if he's gonna stay away. I can't, I have no idea. Well, he's going to come and get you, or if he's going to stay away.
Starting point is 00:50:25 I can't. I have no idea. Well, he's going to come, and then he's going to be repelled, and he's going to be so frustrated. Yeah. Just give me the log. What the hell? Mixed messaging. Just give me that freaking log.
Starting point is 00:50:35 We'll get out of here. A bloody log to Dracula is like a snickers bar to do with Dracula. Ha ha ha. Mitch, that's disgusting. Yeah. I'm bar to do it, Dracula. Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Mitch, that's disgusting. Yeah. I'm trying to go fucking viral here. Ha ha ha!
Starting point is 00:50:50 Here's my question. Yeah, yeah. Go on. You wanted that to be the viral moment? I was trying to get some viral moment. He's telling us that we're bombing. I don't, no, you're doing great. Fuck, dude.
Starting point is 00:51:02 He does not think you're doing great. He does not, I know. He puts his glasses on, he thinks he's above all of us. I don't think that. He thinks he's Clark Kent over here. Yeah. Do you want me to take him off? I'll take him off.
Starting point is 00:51:13 No, no, no, we like it, we like it. Okay. Looks pretty cute. You're, you ask him your question. Here's my question. Yeah. You're the voice of, I believe the character is named Hank the Buffalo.
Starting point is 00:51:24 That is correct. In the Buffalo Wild Wings spots. Do you have any sort of inn where you get to try new Buffalo sauces and Buffalo Wild Wings sauces and rubs before they go in national? Can I answer for you? No, you idiot, am I right? That's true, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:39 No, I don't get any preview. I mean, I guess at the commercials, if there's an item that hasn't come out, I could try it. But typically I'm like, oh, this is like prop food. But there are people like making it sort of perfectly in the kitchen. It's very edible. But the character is like, you know, CG, right? So you're on set. I am on set. The character is CG, right? What do you think? Do you think it's a real buffalo?
Starting point is 00:52:04 Well, I don't know. You never know. I mean, it looks real. Yeah, it looks good do you think? Do you think it's a real buffalo? Well, I don't know. You never know. I mean, it looks real. Yeah, it looks good. It does look very real. It's a real buffalo. It does, it looks very, very real. It's real to me.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Or sometimes there's like a physical, you know, like a physical thing that's enhanced with CG. I don't know. There is a stand and they have like a gray one and then they have like a real hairy head. And then they have these, like these, this ball that's a mirror and these other like
Starting point is 00:52:25 things that they put in. But I stand there and I interact with the on-camera talent. And I improvise with them and like, you know. Oh, so you're there. You are. Oh, wow. It's so much fun because I like, I don't have to be on camera, but I still get to perform and do the character and like just kind of hang out most of the day.
Starting point is 00:52:41 I saw the first commercial, the first, the first one of those that aired, I texted you and I was like, you're the Buffalo Wild, like I didn't know that you were gonna be the Buffalo Wild wing guy. Yeah, it kind of came out of nowhere. Came out of nowhere. There's no press release or anything, it was just Hank.
Starting point is 00:52:54 You're Hank. Yeah. I love it. It's one of the best characters I've ever played. I'm one of my favorite actually, like it's just, it's fun to like play this buffalo for two years now. I think Hank has immediately skyrocketed
Starting point is 00:53:08 the top of the mascots. I like, I'm just saying, I feel like a lot of, I feel like mascot is a thing of the past. And I like that Buffalo Wild Wings has a mascot. I think it's fun. Ronald, as we know, has like basically been late to rest. They've kind of sunset, yeah, Sunset Ronald. Yeah, Ronald McDonald.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Yeah, they feature Grimace a little bit. Yeah. They're leaning away from Ronald for whatever reason. The Wendy's, I mean, Wendy's doesn't have the Wendy's mascot in its current advertising at all. In the like, the whatever you call it? I mean, they have Wendy. They have Wendy in the logo.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Yeah. But it's still part of the brand, but they don't have, like, you know, for a while, they had different portrayals of Wendy herself in their ads. They're not doing that right now. Be doves. Papa John obviously gone. Jared Fogel's gone.
Starting point is 00:53:55 Yeah, Jared Fogel's gone. Jared Fogel's gone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, who's left? The Burger King King was there for a while, but he's not around anymore. No, Burger King King is gone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:08 I mean, you got the Geico Gecko, but that's not food. Yeah, it's not food, yeah. That's insurance or something like that. Yeah, that pisses me off. When I see him, I'm hungry and I'm like, what are you selling as insurance? It sucks. I want to eat that Gecko. I want to eat that, I want to fucking eat that.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Roast him up. Which is, with your character, it's a buffalo that does have wings. So the question is, is his kind getting slaughtered and eaten? I think he's more of a magical being. Got it. Got it.
Starting point is 00:54:40 He's more of a magical wing being, yeah. He's one of a kind. Like a griffin or a chimera or something like that. Like a mythological creature. Yeah, absolutely, 100%. That's fun. Yeah, so I'm Hank, and that's frickin' awesome. Hank is frickin' awesome.
Starting point is 00:54:55 I love Hank. What I like is that desert heat they got there. So the dry rub. Because I'm a bit of a heat seeker. And that one's like, it's potent, but it's not the one where it's like at the absolute top. Like they're wild or whatever, you know, which I can handle.
Starting point is 00:55:07 But also just as far as a sauce delivery mechanism, I like the dry rub over the sauces. Wow, that's, I can't do that. I think it's better for dipping too. Really? Yeah, you get the dry rub. You get more dip. Yeah, it's easier to dip in like a ranch
Starting point is 00:55:21 or a blue cheese or what have you. I was curious about, like since we're talking chicken, and you know, you have this connection to B-Dubs, which has boneless and bone-in, and we got tendies we're talking about today, as well as nugs. What is everyone's favorite chicken form factor we're talking about?
Starting point is 00:55:38 Because I'm a whole bird guy. Like I like bone-in, I like, like, you know, if I'm having wings, I like bone-in over boneless, but Mitch, I know you're a boneless guy. I mean, not in, look, yes. No, no, no, we're not talking exclusively. Like, we're not saying, like, you have to be committed to this, but just, like, what's your favorite?
Starting point is 00:55:53 I like a great boneless buffalo finger, or boneless buffalo wing, like, in New England. I mean, look, I'm just saying New England, because they make them good ones. Look, everyone gets mad at me any time I bring this up. And they got mad at me that I was, like, forcing you into saying to him because they make them good ones up. Look, everyone gets mad at me anytime I bring this up and they got mad at me that I was like, forcing you into saying the ones in Quincy were,
Starting point is 00:56:09 I was like, you get it now and you did, you said you got it. You didn't force me to say that. I had a good time going to that bar in Quincy with you. Yeah, he had a great time with you, man. Having fun. Just, you can like let that sink in. He had a great time with you. I had a great time with him.
Starting point is 00:56:23 That's so sweet. It's a lot of fun. You guys gotta, like, appreciate those moments. You guys are really special, you know? Like, what you guys have done over the last 10 years, like, you guys created a lot of wonderful things for the community out there. It's really special, and you guys
Starting point is 00:56:36 should really appreciate that. Oh. Viral attempt number three. What? Wait, did you mean any of that? No! No, I did. I did. I really did. We had a lovely time. We had a great time.
Starting point is 00:56:48 No, no, I think you get angry at all these fans out there in the ether, like, just don't worry about it. Don't anticipate the negative comments. Because also, they'll zero in on something you weren't expecting, which is a lesson you and I have learned again and again. That's true. You think they're going to get mad at you for one thing, and then they get mad at you for a different thing
Starting point is 00:57:05 that you weren't even thinking about. You know what though? Maybe they just wanna get a little mad at you. That's true. Like, you wanna get, they wanna stink up a little bit. Yeah, sure. It's fun to be a little stinker. It's fun to be a little stinker.
Starting point is 00:57:13 You know what? I still love you. I still love all of you. Wow. Yeah, that's really. Oh. And then I flipped him off. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:22 You little stinker. I said this before we recorded. Tenders are long nuggets. Yeah, tenders are just long nuggets. Viral, viral. That was another viral attempt. At the same time, I do feel like there's a different composition.
Starting point is 00:57:35 Some nuggets are like, A, you know, it's like a, it's not actual chicken. Yeah, it's a super processed, like, you know, the- It's blended in some way. It's like a spong meat. Yeah, it's a super processed, like, you know, the- It's blended in some way. It's like a spongy type of thing. Some nuggets are actual chicken meat. This is fair. This is true. And I feel like some of the time,
Starting point is 00:57:53 I've had some frozen nuggets that are like actual more like small tenders. But I think typically a nugget is a different category than a boneless wing or a tender. Boneless wing is basically a small tender in my understanding. Do you have a preference of all the possibilities? I think that right now I've been zeroing in on tenders.
Starting point is 00:58:14 Not boneless wings, not nuggets. Yeah, sure. However, I used to think that I wanted the boneless wing because I just wanted to dunk it and like, and it's more fried. It's got that fried crust. You just pop that little, almost like a popcorn chicken thing in your mouth.
Starting point is 00:58:32 And now I'm back to bone-in wings. I love bone-in. A good bone-in wing, a bad bone-in wing will make me sad, but a good bone-in wing, which there are, you rustic, there's a few places around there. Yeah, I was thinking exactly what I was thinking. You know, like sometimes you get a wing and it doesn't have that like fried crunch.
Starting point is 00:58:49 Sure. You need a little fried crunch to really make it work. But not necessarily, I don't necessarily need to even bread it, you know what I mean? Yeah, not bread it. But I do like having that crispness to it. Those ones were lightly fried, the ones in a, they had the nice crisp to them
Starting point is 00:59:02 and they still feel like a, he calls tenders, tendies. The guy who you think is an alpha. How do you call them tendies sometimes? The guy you think is an alpha. Yeah, well, you know, I call them tendies too and I'm a 100% grade A alpha. Wow. No, I'm not alpha, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:59:14 You are, you're an alpha. You think I'm alpha? You're pretty alpha. You're a sweetheart alpha. Yeah. That's what we need more sweetheart alphas in the world. Yeah, I think I'm actually not an alpha underneath. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:59:24 I actually don't know. I'm learning more about myself every day. I'm only 40. Like, I might have a long, long life. And I have diarrhea and like silver pubes and stuff. That's gonna be awesome. And I'm probably gonna be learning a lot about myself then. I think-
Starting point is 00:59:38 May we all live long enough to see the silver pubes, I say. May we all live long enough to see the silver pubes. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha pebble and then the comment is like, why bother wiping? Oh my gosh. That is great. Truly revolting. What's going on over there? Nothing. He's just checking in with you. Should I even wipe after this one little turd?
Starting point is 01:00:15 I doubt there's even much. I doubt there's any crap on my butthole, right, hon? You're like, no, dad, don't wipe. If I sent my mom a picture of a turd, I don't even know what that would. I don't even know what would happen. I think she would maybe be like, no, dad, don't wipe. If I sent my mom a picture of a turd, I don't even know what that would, I don't even know what would happen. I think she would maybe be like, you need help. Like, I think she would be like, you're in trouble,
Starting point is 01:00:30 she would think I was in trouble. Yeah, I would not. Or she maybe would just be nice and be like, that's a good one. Like, you know, that's a possibility. Yeah, maybe we would bring her back to the old days, you know, when you were like, who's changing your diapers. I remember that.
Starting point is 01:00:42 Yeah. I remember that. Oh, they look just the same. More silver than they used to be. Send you back a huge turd. Call and raise. Ha ha ha ha! Wah! Wah!
Starting point is 01:00:59 Here's a, I get another question for you, which is regarding Superman, which is so cool that you're in it. Thank you. Where did you shoot Superman and? I get another question for you, which is regarding Superman, which is so cool that you're in it. Thank you. Where did you shoot Superman and? Yeah, and or should I just? And on that note. I better not try to actually shoot Superman.
Starting point is 01:01:13 Yeah, yeah, I never shot Superman. No, yes, no. Where did you film the movie Superman? And then also, was there any food in that area or areas you were able to take advantage of? Great question, yes. We shot in Macon, Georgia, whatchya call it? Atlanta, Georgia and Cleveland.
Starting point is 01:01:31 Wow. That's where I shot. They shot a bunch of other places. How long were you down there for? It was like a total of four weeks. Like initially like, I think it was like a week in Cleveland and then about two and a half weeks in Macon, and then maybe another week in Atlanta.
Starting point is 01:01:47 But in Macon, Georgia, that was the most fun for me. That's when I started and that's when we did all the Daily Planet stuff and I was down there a week early for weather cover, which is like I didn't really know what that was. But they were like on a big movie like this, they were shooting exteriors and they had me down there to shoot the Daily Planet stuff in case it rained and they couldn't shoot outside.
Starting point is 01:02:10 But there was a place, a soul food place, H&H, I believe, in Macon, Georgia, which was, it was like the Allman Brothers either like co-owned it, there's like a big Allman Brothers mural outside, and I had it on my last day going, like driving up to Atlanta. And it was the best soul food I've ever had in my life. It was incredible. I got a shirt.
Starting point is 01:02:35 I like went back in and got a shirt, which I've never worn, because it's a big, very loud tie-dye shirt. I wore it a couple times, I wore it a little bit. But it was incredible. Like the macaroni and cheese and the like, I don't even know what else I have. Like tips of some kind, beef tips.
Starting point is 01:02:51 Okay. Somebody's beef tips, yeah, steak, dried ends. Burnt ends? Burnt ends, yeah. I don't even know if they were, they was in like some sort of gravy, I think. But it was incredible. It was definitely the best soul food I've ever had.
Starting point is 01:03:06 You spend any time with the Claremont Laund? Speaking of great pubes. No, speaking of great pubes, I haven't. It's a, the Claremont Laund is a kind of a fun strip club that a lot of people go to in Atlanta. In Atlanta. Where there's like a lot of older dancers and stuff like that.
Starting point is 01:03:23 It's a blast. I think it's an appropriate strip. It's not weird that I'm bringing it up. A blessed kind of? It is like a strip club, but it is, I'm getting a call. Are you really? Do you have to answer it? No.
Starting point is 01:03:39 Okay. We can take it if you want. Dr. Wolf is the name that's calling me. Wait, really? Yeah. I mean, you can take it if you need to Dr. Wolf is the name that's calling me. Wait, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you can take it if you need to. No, no, it's okay. Just put it on speaker and we'll hear everything
Starting point is 01:03:50 that Dr. Wolf has to say. Yeah. Um. Uh, again, there's no cure for micropenis. Stop calling us. Um, I, uh, I had, I spent a lot of time in Atlanta. I like it down there. Love it.
Starting point is 01:04:04 It's a fun, yeah. Yeah, it's a fun town. It's a fun, fun town. And then a week in Cleveland. A lot of great food. And a week of time in Atlanta. I like it down there. It's a fun, yeah. It's a fun town. And then a week in Cleveland. A lot of great food. And a week in Cleveland, yeah. And I had some great barbecue, actually. I forget the name of the restaurant. It was right by the hotel. It was like a Food Network host
Starting point is 01:04:17 who opened a restaurant down there. And I had for the first time a brisket. It was like fatty brisket, not a typical, and it was like, it just like melted in my mouth. It was so, so good. I never wanna have a regular brisket ever again. Damn. Yeah, it was fantastic.
Starting point is 01:04:33 M&M factor, it melts in your mouth. Sure, sure. Yeah, sure. Thank you. We also need to talk about, we need to talk, we need to address one thing. Yeah, sure. Yeah, of course, of course.
Starting point is 01:04:49 This is the first, Beck is back. Beck is back. Of course, I'm back. I'm back here on Doughboys, because I've been here once before and now I'm back. You haven't been back since then. And I haven't been back since then and now I'm back. And my name is Beck and Beck is back since then, and now I'm back. And my name is Beck, and Beck is back.
Starting point is 01:05:07 Beck is back. Beck is back. He hasn't been back since his first episode. That's right. No. Yeah. No, you, you, you, you, you. No, don't go.
Starting point is 01:05:15 You go. No, I didn't have anything to say. You go. There was a thing that happened. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. You were, you, you were happened. Okay. Yeah. You were concerned. That's right.
Starting point is 01:05:28 You, when we first had you on Doughboys, you said- Which was, we should say 2016. I didn't realize it had been that long. I knew it had been previously prior to the pandemic. Yeah. Nine years- I thought it was like 2019. I didn't realize this was back in the Ferrell Audio days before predated Emma Erdbrink's involvement with Doughboys.
Starting point is 01:05:45 That's right. Wow. Emma said, nice to meet you when you came here today. I said, what the fuck are you talking about? Yeah, it blew your minds. I know. And then I got scared that I did meet him before, and I was like, I'm an asshole, so I looked up the episode,
Starting point is 01:05:56 and I was not an asshole. And you were not an asshole. Even if you had met me before, it's perfect. That's like a constant fear I live with all the time. It's saying, nice to meet you, and I've met the person. We gotta let go of that. I always just say, hey, good to see you. Even if I don't know who the person is, that is my move.
Starting point is 01:06:15 I shouldn't tell the world. I've been doing the good to see you for a while. Hey, good to see you. They're like, hey, we've never met. I'm like, oh, well, nice to meet you. It's still good to see you even if we've never met. Sometimes I run into the situation where I am genuinely excited to meet a person
Starting point is 01:06:30 or it's a friend of a friend or something, and I'm like, so nice to meet you. But they're saying nice to see you, and then I say so nice to meet you, and they're like, oh, and then they feel, you know what I mean, and then they feel bad. But it's almost like that's why if you just say nice to see you, then everybody's safe, even if the other person's, you know what I mean? And then they feel bad, but it's like, so it's almost like that's why if you just say, nice to see you, then everybody's safe.
Starting point is 01:06:46 Even if the other person's, you know what I mean? Like they feel called out if you say, nice to meet you, and they say, nice to see you. Nothing worse than, hey, nice to meet you, followed by, yeah, good to see you. And it's like, ugh, I fucked up. And you're pissed off about it, I guess. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:07:07 All of this meeting, nice to see you, nice to meet you garbage, we need to let go. Let's throw it out the fucking window. It's gone. It's like, you know, complete forgiveness on the name front, whether you've met or not, it's just, we need to let go. Isn't it just easy to have like a thing like, hey there, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:07:27 Like do something like a, like a, like a, some sort of saying that you're just like, we don't have to have to, you know what I'm saying? Mitch, like, I'm not gonna pat myself on the back here. Hey buddy has its utility. Hey buddy is such a great catch all. Hey buddy is- No name involved, no like previous acknowledgement
Starting point is 01:07:46 of having met before, just hey buddy. I think we should have these digital social cards. So you can be like, hey, how's it going? And bump them and you can always know who you met. You get a download of their information. Not contact information, but their face, their name, and- Current pub color. Yeah, current pub color.
Starting point is 01:08:08 Silver. Exactly. So you really feel comfortable. This is a black mirror is the thing though. Yeah, really? It's a black mirror. And it's kinda like Facebook. It's a black mirror.
Starting point is 01:08:18 Yeah, it's kinda Facebook. Kind of Facebook, which is a black mirror. Yeah, it really is. But I do like, I think I would rather do that than have the, it's just always when they're like, nice to see you, you know, like, you're mad. I'd never care. Yeah, I don't care.
Starting point is 01:08:30 If someone forgets me, I never care. But there are people who do care. I do have the, I do, will do the thing. Even if I know, I'm confident I've met this person before, but I think there's a chance they don't remember me, I will go up and be like, hey, I'm Nick, you probably don't remember, but we met before, and I'll give the context for it.
Starting point is 01:08:45 And I feel like that's a very much like, I'm giving you the leeway to either be like, oh yeah. I know even if you just end up lying there, I've given you an in for how to lie. It's like, oh yeah, of course, I remember from this. You know what I mean? So I don't know, I just feel like it's a two way street. Help the other person out,
Starting point is 01:09:01 understand they're in the same situation as you. But try to give them a good, because you're just trying to give a baseline for a positive interaction. It doesn't need some fucking territorial pissing contest, you know? Yeah. To all you people out there who hold people to like, you know, we've actually met before. Yes, yeah. Cut the shit.
Starting point is 01:09:17 You're gone. You're gone. Cut the shit out. Get out of here. You're canceled. You're canceled. We're canceling you. Yeah. Oh, the actors are canceling the public now. Wow. Wow. How does that feel?
Starting point is 01:09:29 We're twisting it around on you. It doesn't feel that good, does it? Like, twisted metal over here. Is it? Hell yeah. We had a, uh... We promote each other's shows. Why?
Starting point is 01:09:40 I love that. I think it's great. I just want to say, what were we gonna say? Oh, I was gonna say, since we're in this territory, I've had this thought, and I think we'll probably see it in some sort of, you know, near sci-fi, what, what's going on? That hurt my hand. That was a hard one. Oh, all right.
Starting point is 01:09:57 That is an alpha move though. Sorry. Alpha. Free alpha, yeah. Sorry, Superman. Are you saying that you've, you hung around him so much that you... We have the... This fucking crazy ass was trying to death
Starting point is 01:10:13 us do a Marvel meal today. Anyways, don't... I know, that's messed up. It could have been funny. It could have been funny. It was just an idea. Because we also, there is the Dairy Queen... It probably would taste like shit.
Starting point is 01:10:21 There is the Dairy Queen Superman thing. Yeah. Yes. Yeah, but it's like kind of a pain. The closest one is in Santa Anita, which is the Dairy Queen Superman thing. Yeah. Yes. Yeah, but it's like kind of a pain. The closest one is in Santa Anita, which is like 45 minutes away. It was a little bit of a pain in the ass for us to figure that out.
Starting point is 01:10:31 Which is very not Superman. Very not Superman. It's like, you know, Superman, if we were like on theme with Superman, we would have found a way. Right. We would have made it happen. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:41 But we were just kind of like, it's 45 minutes away, so we want to do Superman ice cream. Yeah, it was too early. That's okay. This is Doughboy's, it's not Superman's, so... I do want to try it. There's also the Fantastic Four, Little Caesar's Pizza that's out now, which is like MC Mew, you know, adjacent or whatever. But anyway, what I was going to say is the stinky...
Starting point is 01:10:56 I can't even talk about that. I'm not allowed to. It's going to taste bad. Tastes like garbage. Yucky, yucky. Here's what I was going to say. I think in some near future sci-fi setting, we will see the concept of, or we will just eventually see it in our own reality,
Starting point is 01:11:09 and we'll never even have to have any sort of specular fiction about it. AR will be so omnipresent, augmented reality, where I will look at you, it will show your name, so I don't even have to remember your name or have learned your name previously, and it will also show the last date that I interacted with you based off of facial recognition.
Starting point is 01:11:29 And I think that will reach a point where, in the same way, we no longer remember people's birthdays, we used to, like, remember people's birthdays or remember people's phone numbers. That was a time, there was a time in our lives when we committed phone numbers to our memory. Now all that stuff is in a digital database. I think the same thing will happen with names,
Starting point is 01:11:43 where we just will not learn people's names, we will rely on our augmented reality goggles to tell us of people's names. And if you go onto Netflix and you click on Black Mirror and you click the new episode, it says, no need for new episode. Just look around. Whoa. That was epic, dude. That's another viral moment. I think that might be my one. I think that might be my one. I think that might be my one. So what we landed on instead.
Starting point is 01:12:09 Hold on. Wait, wait, wait. What we landed on instead. Well, wait. Oh, we didn't get. So yes, it's Benson's Telling the Story. We were telling the story. I also want to say, your sketch group, Good Neighbor,
Starting point is 01:12:18 used to be a good restaurant near the birthday boys' house. Absolutely. A breakfast place since close. But we thought that that's the good neighbor. So sad. Yeah. We thought that that's why you guys named the group Good Neighbor back then. Absolutely. A breakfast place, since closed. Oh, good neighbor of the restaurant closed? The good neighbor, yeah. So sad. Yeah, we thought that that's why you guys named the group Good Neighbor back in the US.
Starting point is 01:12:28 A lot of people did. We named it, it was in college. I had a party and afterwards the next morning the neighbor came over, this older woman, and she was very upset. She had like some cigarette butts in her hand, and she was like, these cigarette butts could have lit my dog on fire.
Starting point is 01:12:48 Oh my God. The dog could have come in the house and lit my house on fire and killed me. She just said that and looked at me and I was like, I am so sorry. I swear I will, that was completely inappropriate. I will never let that happen again. I will put up a sign whenever there are people over
Starting point is 01:13:11 and I will make sure that people are never flicking other's cigarette butt into your yard. I apologize. And she just went, good neighbor, good neighbor. And she walked away and I never saw her again. And then she said like, maybe good neighbor. Good neighbor. And she walked away and never saw her again. And then so like maybe good neighbor. That's a great story. Good story.
Starting point is 01:13:30 Yeah. And also it's really nice of you to not be like, wait, your dog is gonna catch on fire and then catch my house on fire. Like calling out her insane, her insane bull shit. Wait, that doesn't check out, lady. I guess you did the right thing.
Starting point is 01:13:44 I did the right thing. I was like, I'll just move on. Let's defuse the situation. Yeah, smart. But she disappeared. Nobody ever saw her again. Well, let me just say, them parties continue. That's right. What was the genesis of the name of the birthday boys?
Starting point is 01:13:57 Yeah. We pitched 300 names in a Google Doc. And then birthday boys is the one we all hated the least. It's a great name. Do you know who pitched it? I don't know, it was not me who pitched it. My pitch was Beaver Fever. Which is also, which is Giardia.
Starting point is 01:14:16 What is that? It's Giardia, Beaver Fever. Oh, is that what that means when it rhymes like that? Well, no, it just, when it rhymes like, no, Giardia is, you know what Giardia is, right? It's like a. It's like a bacterial infection, I think. Yeah, yeah, and so when you get it,
Starting point is 01:14:31 you get it from water, and they call it beaver fever. Is that real? Because beavers shit in the water, and you. I got. It's a parasite. Remember I got really, what did I get when I went camping, and I got water in my mouth, and then I like, I couldn't remember, I was shitting my pants for like a day. Might have been beaver fever.
Starting point is 01:14:47 I think it was E. coli. E. coli is probably even, I think it's even worse. G-r-e-o is really common in dogs too, especially if they come from like puppy mills. Oh man. So a lot of times they'll have G-r-e-o when they're puppies, yeah. I didn't know G-r-e-o. I feel very dumb for not knowing. Yeah, you really should.
Starting point is 01:15:00 I know. I'm sorry. You really should feel so stupid. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's all good. But also the Beaver Fever is also when you're like crazy about vagina. I didn't want it to be dirty. And that was why I was never gonna win.
Starting point is 01:15:13 I mean, this is the sliding doors of the sketch group having a show on IFC or not. If it was Beaver Fever, nothing would have happened. We wouldn't have gotten a show. And if we were side of guys, if Doughboys was side of guys, which was the... Side of guys. That was the other title we were going to go with. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:34 Yeah, pretty solid. Yeah. Yeah, not bad. By the way, now I'm just thinking about how I said vagina. Vagina. Vagina. I thought it was very classy. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:43 I can't stop thinking about it. I'm almost sweating. I'm almost flop sweating, is how I said it. I think it was fine. I thought you said it very classy. Vagina. Vagina. Vagina. Vagina. I'm going for viral moment number five.
Starting point is 01:15:56 Vagina. Vagina. If we just do a super clip? Yeah. Vagina. Vagina. I used to think there was a ver in there. I thought it was a ver-gina. Well, I was a little kid. Vagina. Vagina. I used to think there was a ver in there. I thought it was vagina.
Starting point is 01:16:07 Well, I was a little kid. That was vagina. Or from New England, vagina. Vagina. Vagina is pretty good too. But wait, did you ever get to your story? Yeah, we're, yeah. We need to get back on track.
Starting point is 01:16:21 All right, we're back on track. Vagina. Vagina. She had an awesome virginer. That's New England. Okay. You came on the show. That's right.
Starting point is 01:16:33 You said, I wanna do Cheesecake Factory. Didn't you work there? No, no. Oh, okay, all right, so there's no connection. No, I worked there too. You just liked it. You loved it. Yeah, I'd been there once and I was like,
Starting point is 01:16:44 I'm just excited to go back and like, just to eat it, and just to get a bunch of stuff. And yeah. And so we were like, oh, we were gonna maybe do it with somebody else who God knows who we had. I can't even remember who we had reserved Cheesecake Factory for. Like, I think I got the yes, we can do that. And then it was like, oh, I think we told somebody else.
Starting point is 01:17:02 I think we, yeah, I think it was like, I think we promised it to Chris DeLeo. In the early days, yeah, DeLeo was going to do it. In the early days of the podcast, so that was before we realized, like, everyone wants to do the same restaurants. That same year, we ended up doing, I think it was 2016, might have been 2017, Mitch, we did Rock Lobster Fest,
Starting point is 01:17:20 which was a whole month of Red Lobster, partly because every other guest would be like, I want to do Red Lobster. As like, the only way we can get all these people into do Red Lobster is when we do a whole month of Red Lobster, partly because every other guest would be like, I wanna do Red Lobster. As like the only way we can get all these people into do Red Lobster is when we do a whole month of just Red Lobster and get them all there. Rocktoberfest, our first one, Rock Lobster Fest, our second one.
Starting point is 01:17:34 That's right. Yeah, that's amazing. So we had- So you, Wes, I'll go ahead. No, but I'm just saying, like, you came in the early phase where it was like, wow, we promised whatever. We promised Aliyah Cheesecake Factory,
Starting point is 01:17:44 but I guess we can do, but yeah, we can do it with Beck. We'll to leave a Cheesecake Factory. But I guess we can do it. But yeah, we can do it with Bak-Teen. We'll get them on for another one. It would have been perfect. You guys should still do that and bring them into Cheesecake. Yeah, we might. I'm honestly, we might. Might happen.
Starting point is 01:17:52 Might happen. We might do McDonald's. It might be our final episode. Yeah, so I was like, no. You guys were like, is that OK? Can you think of something else? And I was like, I really want to do Cheesecake Factory. Right.
Starting point is 01:18:04 And you guys were like, OK, cool. Then we did Cheesecake Factory. And everything felt good. And then a couple of years after that, I was like, oh, no. Did I steamroll them on the Cheesecake Factory thing? You thought that you'd never been back because of the Cheesecake Factory incident, as we'll call it. Really, it's just because of the kind of guest I was.
Starting point is 01:18:27 No. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. No, no, no. I'm kidding. We did think you said vagina weird on that first episode. We didn't want to have you back. You know I like to go on podcasts
Starting point is 01:18:34 and say vaginas as much as possible, in as many ways as possible. You thought that you had stepped on some toes in Weiger. I mean, we're friendly. You could always bring that. I think maybe you thought Weiger was pissed off. Yeah, and maybe Weiger was pissed off at me. So, like, here's the moment.
Starting point is 01:18:49 Are you pissed off at me? I'm not pissed off at you. Okay. Oh, okay. Sounds like you're pissed off at me. People do think that of me, though, because I think because I am so cold and robotic. And sometimes people are like, Weiger's, like, furious or Weiger doesn't like me
Starting point is 01:19:02 when it's just like, no, I'm just a strange man. This is like my default. That's your wife speaking? That's the alpha. You think that's alpha? That's almost alpha. This is like your family, your mom and dad. Like, Weiger is cold and robotic.
Starting point is 01:19:12 I don't think he likes me. Yeah. No, we had a great time. But I think it was, we should have had you back. It's malpractice on our part that we did not have you back on the podcast. And I honestly don't know why that is. No, we're like, we're discussing this right now.
Starting point is 01:19:26 Can we just do a little version of it where it's dramatic, and maybe that's the viral moment? It's acted. You have to watch the podcast to figure this out. But it's a clip, and it's like, OK. Yeah, no. When I came on, I said I wanted to do Cheesecake Factory. You guys were like, we have somebody else.
Starting point is 01:19:42 And I was like, I want to do it. And we did it. And then you guys were like, we have somebody else and I was like, I wanna do it and we did it and then you guys were super weird about it and like, you guys, I swear that you guys were mad at me for steamrolling and pushing through the cheesecake factory. Were you not? The truth is, our show sucks and we didn't wanna have you have to come back. No, that's bullshit, dude.
Starting point is 01:20:00 Like you guys iced me out for like 10 years and I haven't been back and like it's great to be back but. I think, I feel like you're like acknowledging it but you're not actually taking accountability for it. Cause you did steamroll us. You did steamroll us. Oh so I did. The reality is we did get steamrolled.

Do you wanna take it again? No, no, no, actually we probably should do it again, but this is another attempt at a viral situation.

You think I'm a cunt? I mean, you just looked like one. I did look like one. Shark Kent, I don't know. Yeah, put it on the gator and it's Shark Kent. That's it, Munch, you got it.
Starting point is 01:22:15 Good job. Yeah, because it's actually a gator, but everybody thinks it's Shark Kent when the glasses are on. As an actor- A really good disguise. Can we, as actors, can we just do a second take of that, the storm up?
Starting point is 01:22:27 If you guys think you actually have time for it. Yeah, sure, if you want. I mean, yeah, we do have time. I'm gonna act better on this one. Okay, great. So like, I wanted to do Cheesecake Factory and you guys were like, we have somebody else, we promised it to somebody else after you said
Starting point is 01:22:39 I could do it, and then I was like, I wanna do it, and then we did the episode, and then like, you guys totally ghosted me, and then I never like, I feel like you guys were pissed off. Were you not? I mean, look, it's in the past. It doesn't matter anyways. So we did piss you off. We were pissed off.
Starting point is 01:22:55 Yeah, we were pissed off. Why? Like, you told me that I could do cheesecake. Yeah, we told you. But I think if you read between the lines, we clearly were like, hey, we haven't reserved for someone else. And you kind of like, like put your foot down.
Starting point is 01:23:05 It's not a big deal. It doesn't matter. It is, dude. I came in as a guest, and you guys just like fucking, like, were weird. And it's been 10 years. You wanted to do the one restaurant, and we couldn't do the, you wanted to do the one restaurant,
Starting point is 01:23:17 and we had something in mind. Yeah. And then there was another person that wanted to do the restaurant. I'm so sorry I didn't do it right. Fuck you guys. I'm out of here. Fuck this.
Starting point is 01:23:24 Bec, hold on a second. fuck you guys. I'm out of here Back hold on a second fuck you guys God damn it oh You're a fucking idiot.

Yeah, I think we got a couple.
Starting point is 01:24:27 We got a couple options. Oh, let's do another one. This was an interesting thing you were telling us, is, because we're talking Taco Bell. That was great, by the way. That was, you nailed it. You were talking Taco Bell. Good actor.
Starting point is 01:24:38 So did you. That was really good. Oh my God, thank you so much. You know what? Nick is a great actor. I'm not an actor. I'm not an actor. I know that you've substituted yourself out of the game.
Starting point is 01:24:46 You're no longer in the game. I never really acted to begin with. You were a good actor. Maybe we'll get you back in. Some, some small, you know, start with some smaller parts and we'll grow, you know? That'd be great. Falling down, too, eventually. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:58 Which was shot right down the street. Falling down right down the street. The, the store isn't there anymore But the the sort of like military oh, yes Plus story yeah, yeah, that was there not that even long ago. Yeah, like it's eight years ago You were telling us we're talking Taco Bell This is our night are technically our ninth to canonical Taco Bell review Yeah, that you've only been like a handful of times in your life. You're not really a Taco Bell guy?
Starting point is 01:25:25 Not really a Taco Bell guy. Wow. Never really registered. In the suburbs of Chicago where I grew up, it was like, it was all hot dogs and burgers. I was a big, big burger guy. Yeah. Like still am. Will always take burger and fries over any other kind of fast food.
Starting point is 01:25:40 Hey, I'm with you. Yeah, my man. You were south side of Chicago? North side. North side. So not even Chicago. Chicago land area. Sure, sure, sure'm with you. Yeah, my man. You're south side of Chicago? North side. North side. So not even Chicago, Chicago land area, suburbs. So like I'll say Will Matt or Winneka and people will be like, you're not from Chicago. Oh, come on.
Starting point is 01:25:52 You know, whatever. But it's like you saying you're from Boston, me saying I'm from LA. I'm from Lakewood, California, but like no one knows what Lakewood, California is. So say LA or Long Beach or whatever, people have a point of reference. South Side of Chicago has, I hear Leroy Brown is down there. And I hear that he's pretty,
Starting point is 01:26:12 have you heard of bad, bad Leroy Brown? I mean, I've heard of him, but that's all I know. But like that, that's all I know. And then my neighbor- He's the baddest man in the whole damn town. That's what I was gonna say, I heard that, that was crazy. My neighbor's dog, rest in peace, was named after Leroy Brown.
Starting point is 01:26:26 Really? Her dog's name was Leroy Brownie. Well. That's really cute. Leroy Brown is meaner than a junkyard dog. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This dog was sweet. And it...
Starting point is 01:26:35 Anyway. I gotta say this, they say Leroy Brown is meaner than old King Kong. Yeah. And I don't think King Kong is is meaner than old King Kong. Yeah. And I don't think King Kong is that mean. I think King Kong is just misunderstood. I was gonna say he's misunderstood. But isn't that the same...
Starting point is 01:26:51 Actors and movie guys, we know the mindset. We get the characters where they're coming from. Isn't that the subtext of the song though? Because you think about a junkyard dog that's a caged animal. That's an animal whose circumstances are what led him to be so aggressive. The same thing with King Kong. He's a gentle giant, but he's treated like an abomination. Same thing with Leeroy Brown. Bad, bad Leeroy Brown.
Starting point is 01:27:10 He just needs to let someone in. Does Leeroy Brown get beat up in that song at the end of it? Doesn't he? Isn't it like he gets his ass kicked? Isn't that what happens? I know that there's a girl named Doris, and my grandma's name was Doris. So she always liked that part. There was a girl named Doris and who she looked like was Doris. So she always liked that part. Was like, there was a girl named Doris and who she looked like.
Starting point is 01:27:28 She was just get up and dance, wouldn't she? She 100 percent would get up and dance. I'd be like, damn, grandma's looking fun. She's got the moves. She's got it. Damn. That's a cool thing to grow up with. That is. When your grandma looks good like that, you don't know how lucky you got it. As a little boy, when your grandma's looking good. You took it for granted your looks good like that, you don't know how lucky you got it as a little boy
Starting point is 01:27:46 when your grandma's looking good. You took it for granted your whole life. You took it for granted your whole life. But you're like, shit, grandma looked fucking good back when I was a little boy. So here's the thing. Gave you confidence. It looks like the context of the song that,
Starting point is 01:28:01 in its narrative, Leroy Brown was messing around with the wife of a jealous man. Jealous man, yeah. And then Doris. I mean, come on, any man. I mean, you don't do that. It's true. You don't do that. There's a code, a guy code.
Starting point is 01:28:09 Yeah. Well, the two men took a fight in, and then when they pulled them from the floor, Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone. So he got his ass kicked. He got his ass fucking kicked. Because he cuckolded this guy.
Starting point is 01:28:19 Yeah. Yeah. It's codec justice. He kind of deserves it. Kind of deserved it. Which, luckily for our listeners, none of them, they all want me to do that with their wives. They're into hot-wifing, that's a different story.
Starting point is 01:28:30 Oh, wow. You too, I'm sure. What? You would get, they would want you to be with their wives. Wow, that is awesome. That's so cool. You guys, thank you. They're very giving.
Starting point is 01:28:42 They're very nice giving. Is that a thing that you've been offered? We have some hot wife, some fans in the hot wifeing community who are specifically interested in Mitch Rayleigh and their wives. Amazing, dude, I can't believe I didn't know about this. And so you're doing it?
Starting point is 01:28:56 That's great. Mitch Barrett, very badly fucking some guy's wife with his small dick. You wanted to see this? He's like, wow, he's doing so good.

Starting point is 01:31:01 dedicated to it last year, Doe Quiero Taco Bell. Did I already say Tenders along N nuggets? Did I already say that? You did say that. It does sound weird when you say it. Today we're talking crispy chicken tacos and burritos, which launched June 17, which happens to be the day we're recording this episode. So we're having these hot off the presses.
Starting point is 01:31:15 Amelia, you picked this order up. You said that every man in the area was there. Yes, that's correct. Every man in Westlake was at this Taco Bell. Wow. That's very funny. That also, I bet you it's a similar crowd to the crowd that I see midnight movies at the Vista with.
Starting point is 01:31:31 I'm sure it is a very, like, 50-year-old, 40 to 50-year-old guys. At the Vista Theater, it is just like, ghost of Christmas present or ghost of Christmas yet to come. Yeah. Of like, these guys who are there. I'm like, that's just me. Or me in like, five years, basically. Right, yes, that's just me or me in like five years, basically.
Starting point is 01:31:46 And that's probably similar guys in the drive-through line. Yeah. Yeah. Right. So they know where you're going to be. You know, yeah. Yeah. If you go into this, then you hear like a deep cough.
Starting point is 01:31:56 That's what, that's one of, it's one of me. It's a guy like me. They have these, so the crispy chicken nuggets they had recently, and this is kind of a yes and of that. They're making long nuggets, tendies now, and then putting them in crispy chicken taco and burrito form factors. They also have launched this
Starting point is 01:32:15 with a full-blown cameo casting call, which this video they've been using. What the fuck? I didn't know about that. Look, Taco Bell added new items to the menu the menu crispy chicken tacos and crispy chicken burrito I like it the people Taco Bell couldn't agree on a spokesperson to announce this product and I guess they didn't want to just pick One spokesperson so they got many That being said I'm excited to try their new crispy chicken burrito also comes as a taco
Starting point is 01:32:43 Crispy chicken burrito also comes as a taco. June 17th, y'all. Again, June 17th. Let's see how they did. Is that an instinct guy? The crispy chicken just hits different. I don't know anyone. All I knew was Gator and Kate Flannery from the office is in there. From Real Housewives, that's Dorinda.
Starting point is 01:32:59 I did not expect Taco Bell to do crispy chicken, but they did it right. Shout out Taco Bill. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what mama keeps the cookies, Taco Bill. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what mama keeps the cookies, my friend. Oh, I like that. That's what mama keeps the cookies, my friend. Who is that guy? No idea.
Starting point is 01:33:12 Who was Gator? There was a guy named Gator? Gator. Oh, okay, all right. Gator. Gator, okay, all right. He is in the show Dave. He's a rapper.
Starting point is 01:33:23 Got it, got it. And a hype man. And he was Dave's hype man in real life. Oh, that's cool. And like opened for him a little bit. And then he was on the show and he's very funny. He's great performance. We'll hear an opinion from this gator too
Starting point is 01:33:36 before the episode ends on one. He thought of the 10, he's probably a little jealous. There's also- He's probably a little bit jealous. I think he went out for that role. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, celebrity chef Christian Petroni was in there. Maybe that was the cookies guy.
Starting point is 01:33:48 I don't know. Yeah, that looked like a chef. Yeah, it looked like a chef. Chefs have tattoos. They sure do. So it's funny that we watched it, again, in our lifetimes, we've seen the chef switch from the big fat guy with the beard to now the cool guy with the sleeve tattoos.
Starting point is 01:34:03 Yeah. Yeah. Is it all Gaifieri? Is he kind of like the midpoint of the the beard and now like the cool guy with the sleeve tattoos. Yeah, yeah. Like is it all Guy Fieri, is he kind of like the midpoint of the Santa Claus of that transition? I think yes. Because you have like the old Dom Deluise, the chef boy or the, you know, the big, great guy.
Starting point is 01:34:14 Right, yeah, then none of them were tatted. Yeah, no, no, no. You know, clean, old school, yeah, more conservative looking. Right. I didn't even think about that. I like it, I like it, have fun in that. Yeah, why not? Have fun in that kitchen.
Starting point is 01:34:26 Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Okay, so we got the crispy chicken taco, the crispy chicken burrito, the crispy chicken strips, and they all come with either the spicy ranchero sauce or the avocado ranch sauce. Let me read the sauce descriptions and then we'll get into the taco and burrito. Or maybe we should start with the strips themselves.
Starting point is 01:34:43 The new spicy ranchero is a creamy sauce made with anaheim and jalapeno chilies, tomatoes, garlic, and onion, offering a hint of spice that's perfect for dunking or drizzling. And the Avocado Ranch sauce is a creamy and zesty ranch with a hint of avocado. So that one's a little bit less... I mean, that's gotta be perfect for dunking
Starting point is 01:35:03 and drizzling too. I mean, yes, these are also options. Okay yeah yeah yeah. But yeah the first the spicy ranchero is certainly a little bit more you know a little more complex and composed and the avocado ranch sauce is just like a ranch with avocado in it. Yeah. But they so you basically want spicy option, one mild option, one red, one green. I will say, I grab one of those chicken strips and my expectations are like, whatever. I dip one of these into the ranch, Mitch.
Starting point is 01:35:37 They actually, the Hidden Valley Fire Ranch, which is a third sauce, which was available as a dipping sauce. And I've had their nuggets and their nuggets are good. I thought the strip was good as hell. I really liked it. I enjoyed it too. Well, I thought the strip in isolation was quite good.
Starting point is 01:35:54 Those actors weren't lying to you. Yeah. The strips are pretty damn good. The strips are pretty fucking good. I was honestly impressed. Yeah. Nice crunch, nice color, which is just appealing. You can't taste that color. No.
Starting point is 01:36:06 You know, but it has, it had a nice depth to it. It wasn't like a pale, pale light brown. It was like a dark, deep reddish brown type of thing. Great hue. Yeah, great hue. A great hue. And also the- Casey, is that some people who worked on your movie
Starting point is 01:36:20 outside the window there? It is, yes. It looks like they're- I'm gonna point it out. It looks like they're... I pointed out. It looks like they're looking for their money. Yeah, they're pretty pissed off. Duh, duh, ignore them.
Starting point is 01:36:31 Yeah. I mean, like, to me, it was like the strips, because we also got some nuggets side by side for comparison. Yeah. The strips were just strictly better than the nuggets. Absolutely. I just feel like the word ratio was tossed around earlier. And yes, I just feel like there is more proportion of chicken meat, more protein per bite.
Starting point is 01:36:53 And it was just, you know, it just came together better and also was a better sauce delivery mechanism. Yep. Because I feel like the nuggets, you get one good dip in there. And you're getting your fingers too. Exactly. And then you're kind of like slipping, and you drop it in, and you're like,
Starting point is 01:37:07 oh no, you gotta get your fingers all in there, it's a mess. And then you're like, no, I guess I might as well just dip my fingers from here, and then you're dipping your fingers and just, you know what I mean. Exactly. Yeah, it's embarrassing.
Starting point is 01:37:16 Everybody's looking at you. Yeah, we know how it goes. We know how it goes. I think that nuggets are best, I think McNuggets are the best nuggets. We can all agree that McNuggets are the best nuggets. Yeah, I think so. McNuggets are the best nuggets. We can all agree that McNuggets are the best nuggets. I'm not even really a nugget guy. You said as you're a burger boy.
Starting point is 01:37:30 You said at the beginning of, before we started recording, which pissed me the hell off, I'm a spoon man. He's a burger boy. Exactly, I'm aligned over here. Yeah. You're a dude. I'm not like spoons too. This guy likes burgers, he likes spoons, whatever.
Starting point is 01:37:44 Dude. You're gonna fucking piss me off. And I stepped in some times just joking around. I gotta be honest. I probably use spoons more often than I eat burgers. If I'm being, if I'm being perfect, I'm being honest. We're living in a topsy turvy world. He's upside down. You're more on my side. It's fine. I'm on your side. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:08 More on my side. I don't care. He doesn't care. We're friends. Yeah, we're friends. We're friends, yeah. I like nuggets. I like chicken nuggets.
Starting point is 01:38:17 I'm not trying to shit on nuggets, but the tenders just kicked a nugget's ass so bad. It was so much better. Yeah. They were just so much better. Did they have a, was there like a little bit of, I'm not trying to shit on nuggets, but the tenders just kicked a nugget's ass so bad. It was so much better. They were just so much better. Was there like a little bit of spice in the breading, or was I getting all that from the sauce?
Starting point is 01:38:34 I was biting into those, I was like, Amelia's nodding along. I kinda get what you're saying. Like a little bit to it, a little ting. Well, the hue, again, would tell you that there was a little something in the batter, but I never had them undipped Yeah, the way they looked. Yeah, it was like a touch darker
Starting point is 01:38:50 I had a bite of them undipped and I I do think that they were slightly spicy There was a spicy there's on the counter still you want to go get them actually. Yes Thank you, Amelia The hunks maybe did eat well, you can never tell what the hunks Know who's that everybody who works. The hunks? The hunks maybe didn't eat. Well, you can never tell with the hunks. The headgum hunks. The headgum hunks. Now who's that? Everybody who works here is a hunks. Oh, nice.
Starting point is 01:39:09 No. No. No. No. Let's see if I can get any context from the Taco Bell app here as far as what is in the breading. But in the copy, the press release,
Starting point is 01:39:21 I didn't see any info there. It's supposedly the same breading as the nugs. So, you know, it shouldn't be anything new. But okay, Amelia's bringing these in. Amelia, come back, there's a nugget in her mouth as she comes back in. Is that a nugget? Is that a tender nugget?
Starting point is 01:39:38 Or is it tender, maybe. Amelia, is it more fun when your log is like a nugget or a tender, what's more fun to send scorpion? Or liquid. Or liquid, is it great? Don't say, if you're sending a pick of a bowl of diarrhea to your father, I don't want to know about it. It's disgusting.
Starting point is 01:39:56 I was right about the reddish hue. Yeah, it is really red. That might serve me correctly. Yeah, you got a redness in there. I might take a bite of, I just took a bite of nugget. Can I take a bite of tender? Okay, here's what the website says. There is definitely some seasoning on the nugs. Two premium all-white meat,
Starting point is 01:40:15 white meat, crispy chicken strips, marinated with bold Mexican spices and coated in a crunchy tortilla chip breading. Okay. Oh, tortilla chip breading. Yeah, which makes this thing. Yeah, good chip breading. Yeah, which makes this thing. Oh, wow. Yeah, a good crunch to them.
Starting point is 01:40:28 Yeah, I taste this evening. I taste it too. Just a little bit, no, you can finish. You can give a little piece of Jemmy if you want. Yeah. Okay, whatever you want. Yeah, give a little piece of. The strips were great, the tendies were great.
Starting point is 01:40:40 Now we start putting them in tortillas. And let me, I'll just read what's in the crispy chicken taco first and we can talk about this. We just split, Jimmy and I, she ate one half and I ate the other half. A harmonious combination of one perfectly crispy chicken strip layered with purple cabbage, crisp lettuce, pico de gallo, and shredded cheddar cheese. And then you get your choice to be either the aforementioned spicy ranchero sauce or the avocado ranch sauce. I do think it works better with the spicy ranchero sauce but again I'm something of a heat seeker. This Beck you had an observation here I mean you could say it's a state
Starting point is 01:41:13 of view as far as a point of comparison because this is like an existing you know thing. A point of reference for us as food eaters. The taco tender taco, was it the tender or what do we call them? Stripped taco? Crispy chicken taco. Crispy chicken taco is like a fried fish taco. Yes. So it's like, oh, I know what this is, but a fried tender in a burrito,
Starting point is 01:41:35 I'm like, this is kind of a tender just like wrapped up with a tortilla and some other stuff in it. It's different. And here's the other issue I had with the burrito. I said to you, that's the best thing I've ever heard you say when you said that. I think it's, yeah, and I agree with you. Smart. I said to you, that's the best thing I've ever heard you say when you said that. I think it's, yeah, and I agree with you. I immediately knew it was the best thing I've ever said.
Starting point is 01:41:50 The first time I ever had a fish taco, which I don't think it was until maybe I was a legal adult when I had a battered fish taco. Yeah, me too. It was a- Which you can get before you're an adult. Yeah, you can. But I just think that's when I actually tried it because I just thought it was weird.
Starting point is 01:42:04 And the first time I had it, it was a revelation. Hit me with like a fucking lightning bolt. I was like, I can't believe how fucking good this is. And then I was just obsessed with them for years. I was just eating them constantly. Now it's a once in a while thing, but I used to love them. Yeah, it's a completely different thing
Starting point is 01:42:17 with a little coleslaw and the white sauce and it's crispy, crunchy, it's light. It's incredible. So good. I consider you nearly a California boy because you went to school down here. Even though you're really a Chicago boy. I'm really a Chicago guy.
Starting point is 01:42:30 But for me, the fish taco, I mean, in Massachusetts, the idea of like, you could get a fish taco, I guess, but it wasn't like, fish and chips, of course, is the thing I ate more. But out here, the California fish taco. And I think honestly, I gotta give credit to Wahoo's fish tacos, because that was like one
Starting point is 01:42:51 of the places I first ate a fish taco. Yeah, Wahoo, a chain, a local chain that I think is, boy, it's receding. There used to be a lot more of them. But yes- We were rooted on Doughboys. And honestly, like for, it's, you know what- We did, we did a Wahoo's episode? I thought we did. Maybe we didn't. Did we ever do a Wahoos episode?
Starting point is 01:43:07 I'm just looking it up now. To me, you know what it reminds me of? It reminds me of... Is it Baja Fresh, the burrito place we used to like? Yes, Baja Fresh used to, and they, I don't know if they still have a fish taco, but they had a fish taco that was quite good. To me, Wahoos fish taco.
Starting point is 01:43:21 We did it in 2018 with Eliza Skinner. Oh, right. Right, I remember now. Waho's fish tacos. We did it in 2018 with Eliza Skinner. Oh, right. Right. I remember now. Wahoo's fish tacos and Baja Fresh, to me, were on the similar plane of quality fast food. I was like, oh, they're a little bit better.
Starting point is 01:43:36 And then over the course of six years, maybe, both, I think. Oh, Baja Fresh specifically. Yes. Yeah, Baja Fresh. Got bought by Wendy's. Yeah. Just, and I like Wendy's, but think, oh, BajaFresh specifically. Yes. Yeah, BajaFresh. Got bought by Wendy's. Yeah. Just, and I like Wendy's, but Columbus, Ohio. They didn't know what to do with the BajaFresh brand.
Starting point is 01:43:51 Yeah, they were a burger company, and they were like, oh, I don't know. Burger tacos? We got burger tacos? And it was a premium brand. It was more like a Paquito Mas. And they were like, well, we want to make it more like Chipotle.
Starting point is 01:44:04 And this was obviously before Chipotle, but it's like, they wanted to make it more of a value thing. And it just didn't make any sense for them. Yeah, the numbers weren't there. So the numbers weren't there. The numbers weren't there. Wait, but but but yes, this reminded me of like, like a Baja fish taco. And yes, while who's did a lot for popularizing it, I feel like in California, but I think it actually owes its origins to Baja, California, to south of the border, which would make sense.
Starting point is 01:44:29 But it did definitely remind me of this. It is a sort of thing. I know Taco Bell's had versions of a fish taco in years past. But if they had a fish taco, I would be a little bit suspect about it, just because it's I don't know Taco Bell doing fish. I'm not sure if I would necessarily trust them with that. But with a crispy chicken, a chicken tendie about it just because it's, I don't know Taco Bell doing fish. I'm not sure if I would necessarily trust them with that,
Starting point is 01:44:47 but with a crispy chicken, a chicken tendy, I'm like, okay, yeah, they can execute this. The issue with the crispy chicken burrito is the exact same components that are in the taco. Yeah. Can I just, can I quickly say, when Beck stormed out, can we just release that as a clip? Like this, like Beck Bennett storms off.
Starting point is 01:45:03 Yeah, I think that was the idea. That was okay okay okay okay okay and maybe we release it before the episode comes out oh my god what the fuck yeah it's kind of like scary like Jaws music or something yeah Jaws music during it is pretty good yeah we can't use the Jaws theme obvious okay so we just kind of, so maybe you add one note. So, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da. Sorry, sorry. Yeah, so what were you saying? Um, it's the same components inside the burrito as are inside the taco. Oh, right, this bullshit. And so I'm like, why does the burrito need to exist? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:52 I'm like, make the burrito, put beans in the burrito or something, you know? You just change it up, put some different components in there. But if you're just gonna put in the same purple cabbage, crisp lettuce, pico de gallo, cheddar cheese, and soysauce, it's just a version that has, that's fully enclosed by a tortilla.
Starting point is 01:46:06 And so again, the ratio is off. It's better with just the flour corn tortilla, the flour taco tortilla. Ah, I'm good frazzled, sorry. Yeah, and you know, I completely agree. I'm getting excited because when we were sitting, because I have an idea, when we were sitting there, we were like, a burrito, it's more of a chopped,
Starting point is 01:46:22 like a chopped situation. You want it chopped and mixed up. So my idea, my edit for this would be, chop up that tender into cubes, have it more mixed in, as opposed to a log one in the middle. You know what I mean? 100%. Put some cheese in there too.
Starting point is 01:46:37 Yeah, like, cause if you have like a, what's it gonna call it, like a chicken Caesar wrap, and you do a crispy chicken Caesar wrap, that's like a tender, chopped up. Like, you know. You don't want a single tendy just sitting in the middle of it. Like the Earth's core.
Starting point is 01:46:51 You want it dispersed and mixed in. For sure. Can I also say that the stuff that works on the taco, which is like this like cabbage and slaw, doesn't work as well, I think, in the burrito. No, it's unbalanced. You gotta change it up. You gotta cheese it up a little bit.
Starting point is 01:47:06 Like you said, Nick, beans are interesting. Maybe some rice component or something. Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, you gotta change it up a little bit. What about like fried potatoes? I love that. I love that. Because I feel like that goes well with like chicken
Starting point is 01:47:18 and potatoes. Some chicken and potatoes. Some more textural variants. Sure, why not? I think honestly, potatoes, the chicken chopped up, cabbage and more cheese and that's it. A little cheesy, crunchy, veggie, balanced carb, protein balance and you're perfect. I love this right here. But I did think the,
Starting point is 01:47:38 I thought the strips themselves were quite good and I thought the taco was a lot of fun and I would get both of those again. The burrito I have no reason to get again when the taco was a lot of fun. And I would get both of those again. The burrito I have no reason to get again when the taco exists. Until they take our notes. Right.
Starting point is 01:47:50 Speaking of things to not get again, can I just say the kryptonite of the meal? Sure, sure. Please. A little tiny. Nice. Mike's, the Mike's Hot Honey Fire Sauce. Yeah, they have some novel sauces right now. Oh, Diablo Hot Honey, that's, the Mike's Hot Honey Fire Sauce. Yeah, they have some novel sauces right now.
Starting point is 01:48:07 Oh, Diablo Hot Honey, that's, thank you. Yes, thank you Emma. Yeah, no, thank you. The Mike's Diablo Hot Honey, which is available with the nuggets or with the strips. Chemicals. Sucked. Tastes like chemicals. Tastes like science. Yeah. Sucked.
Starting point is 01:48:19 Yeah. Bad, bad, bad. We know there are chemicals in there, we don't wanna taste them. No. We don't want the chem, you don't want a chemical forward meal. It's natural. Yeah, natural, natural overchemical. Do you think that's what mutagen tastes like?
Starting point is 01:48:31 Nick, that is a great question. I think it's probably close to what mutagen tastes like. Definitely. And I'm lucky. And if I ate that, I was near Jemmy. I would have been some sort of dog man. Wow. I didn't even think about that. Your DNA would have merged with Jemmy's I would have been some sort of dog man. Wow. I didn't even think about that. Yeah. I didn't even think about that.
Starting point is 01:48:45 Your DNA would have merged with Jemmy's. Yeah. You become a dog man. I become, yeah, I become like. A kin to a werewolf. Yeah. But you'd have to be like, I'm a dog, no, I'm not a werewolf. I'm a dog man.
Starting point is 01:48:55 I know. And I'm just, I have to like tell that to people all the time. Like, relax. I'm a dog man. Not a, not, you know, like not a werewolf. Some guy with silver pubes is like, Oh, this guy's not going to suck my dick. And then you have no. No, actually I will. I will. Yeah. No problem. If he's a dog man, I could suck your dick. Yeah, some guy with silver pubes is like, oh, this guy's not going to suck my dick. And then you have a no. Actually, I will.
Starting point is 01:49:05 Yeah, I will, yeah. No problem. If it's a dog man, I can suck your dick right now. That's another movie that we could pitch at the Warner Brothers. Oh. Ha ha ha. We can pitch that at the Warner Brothers for sure.
Starting point is 01:49:16 Oh, so it's like a dog werewolf, so it's like a G-rated movie? He's like, no, he's sucking people off. He's sucking people off. He's like domesticated, and he's like a really nice, cute guy. But people think he's scary, so they want to kill him. But he's just trying to suck you off, and he's confusing and sad.
Starting point is 01:49:29 We're the Warner Brothers. Trust us. Hard R? I think it would be much worse than a hard R. He's sucking people off. I think that goes above R, I believe. Depends on what you're showing. You're a great point.
Starting point is 01:49:41 I don't know what you would have, if that was mutagen, I don't know what you would have combined with that was mutagen, I don't know what you would have combined with. I have no idea what was over there. I think there was like a fly buzzing around, so probably become like a fly man. Like Jeff Goldberg fly. Fly man is like, that's the scariest one. I know, it's real impressive. That's the worst one.
Starting point is 01:49:55 You don't want to be a fly. I don't want to be a fly. It's the worst one. It's the worst one. I think you're right that it did taste like mutagen, tastes like shit. Very chemically. Yeah. I thought, I found it putrid. And look, this is not just us going after hot honey.
Starting point is 01:50:09 I do think we're at a hot honey oversaturation point. What's in a hot honey? I could drizzle it on a pizza, but I don't need to be on that. What can I just say? Sorry. If I was Dog Man and then you were Fly Guy, you'd be like, follow me around, waiting for me to shit all day. It would be disgusting.
Starting point is 01:50:25 I would be, yeah. It's like my favorite thing. Your favorite food becomes shit. That's like dog shit. You shit out a bloody stool, and then it would be over with a Dracula for it. Wow. It's trying to sink his fangs into it.
Starting point is 01:50:38 Just want to land on it. Another Warner Brothers movie right there. Honestly, the classic monsters with mutagen, like the, like Dracula, like mutating Dracula. Oh, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, they've never, nothing like that's ever been done. Yeah, that's cool.
Starting point is 01:50:54 That is cool. Yeah, thank you. Yeah. Anyway, I thought that sauce was really gross. Yeah, no good. And the other sauces, the new sauces are fun. It's weird that they also have a spicy ranch in addition to the Hidden Valley Fire Ranch.
Starting point is 01:51:09 Confusing. Like these things that coexist that are kind of like, and they also have the avocado verde salsa, which also coexists with the avocado ranch sauce. So they're all, it's all like a little bit, the menu feels like it's a little cluttered. It feels like they could simplify their sauce offerings a little bit. Some of them seem a little bit, the menu feels like it's a little cluttered. It feels like they could simplify
Starting point is 01:51:25 their sauce offerings a little bit. Some of them seem a little bit redundant. But yeah, the hot honey Diablo dip sauce is gross. The Hidden Valley Fire Ranch dip sauce is quite good. Very good. Very good. Yeah. I was sad that we didn't get the honey mustard one because that looked pretty good too.
Starting point is 01:51:37 And then there was the bell sauce, which I've tried the bell sauce before, I believe. I don't know how or why. Maybe I tried the nuggets before. I thought I didn't try them ever, but I maybe did. I was hoping that would go on another minute. I think I might have, but I didn't know if I did. But I think the sauce in them, because I think I had the sauce,
Starting point is 01:51:55 but I don't know what it was on. But it wasn't for the show, but I think it was. Maybe it was from the show. We also tried to get the Dragon Fruit Berry Aqua Refresca, which is also brand new, and the Dragon Fruit Freeze. from the show. What? We also tried to get the dragon fruit berry aqua refresca, which is also brand new, and the dragon fruit freeze. Unfortunately, they gave us a Baja blast freeze. Which Amelia swears she didn't fuck up.
Starting point is 01:52:13 I believe Amelia, and also, I didn't realize the colors are different, but I wasn't paying attention to the colors. I was gonna say, too busy fucking texting your dad some log. Don't ask me the color of anything. And also they also have a brisk Dragon Paradise sparkling iced tea, which we think,
Starting point is 01:52:33 we can't, we don't know for sure, but we think is what we got instead of the dragon fruit berry aqua refresca, because you both are remarking that it tasted tea-like. Yeah, had a little hint of tea. It was good though. It was, I really liked it. It was good.
Starting point is 01:52:44 And to see the dragon fruit chunks at the top was a nice touch of class. Really put, to me, like, took Taco Bell to another level. I liked it a lot. I also think that it was very low tea. There wasn't a lot of tea in there. Sure. So which I liked.
Starting point is 01:52:59 And it wasn't too sweet, we said. I like an iced tea, iced tea. You know what I mean? Like I like to just taste iced tea. I don't necessarily need some sort of sweetness, but I do think for what this was, I thought it was pretty good. I thought it'd be much sweeter.
Starting point is 01:53:13 Yeah, no, it's not overly sweet. Okay, Mitch, tell everyone about your experience with Helix mattresses. All right, Wiggs, I will tell ya, I love my Helix mattress. I've had it for, god, almost seven years now. Wow. I have a Moonlight Luxe mattress. Wow.
Starting point is 01:53:33 It's like sleeping on a cloud, I love it. Wally and Irma loves it. It's one of my favorite mattresses of all time. So you've had it for seven years now. How has your sleep improved since you switched to Helix? Wiggs, my sleep has been fantastic. I'm slumbering every night. I got my CPAP on.
Starting point is 01:53:48 I'm in a big comfy bed. I don't want to leave. I got to wake up and come to Doughboy's. I don't want to do that. But I can tell when you're well rested. That's true. Mitch is sharp today. That's right. You know, I get a good sleep in with that Helix mattress.
Starting point is 01:54:00 I'm on fire. Some days you suck and I'm like, man, he must have slept on the couch. Yeah, that can't happen. I know it's been an upgrade from your old mattress and Helix can help you address specific sleep issues like snoring, back pain, sleep apnea, sleeping through the night and sleeping too hot, all of which I have intermittently.
Starting point is 01:54:17 Well, Wags, you should go to helixsleep.com slash doughboys for 27% off site-wide, exclusive for listeners of Doughboys, which you don't listen to, but you are a host. Neither do you. That's helixsleep.com slash doughboys. Do it. I love my Helix Sleep mattress. And you know what? It gets delivered right to your door. It's easy to set up. You're going to love it, too.
Starting point is 01:54:40 All right. We should get to our fork scores here. So, back, just a reminder, we'll each go around, give a closing argument, if you will, on this version of Taco Bell, the crispy chicken menu, and then give it a score from zero to five forks. You are a guest seated to my left. We will begin with you. Your thoughts, your fork score on Taco Bell. Now, the whole menu, everything I tasted collectively?
Starting point is 01:55:01 Yeah, I think, yeah. Everything you tasted today. Okay. Not having been a, you know, I don't know Yeah, I think, yeah. Everything you tasted today. OK. Not having been a, you know, I don't know Taco Bell that well, so I'm not putting in context of the other menu items. You know, I'm going to, my gut says a four. Wow. You know, I know that's high.
Starting point is 01:55:21 So actually, I know. No, no, don't be scared by his wow. No, no, but I know that that's like high in the Doughboy's world. It's know, I know that's high. So actually, I know. No, no, don't be scared by his wow. No, no, but I know that that's like high in the Doughboyz world. Like, honestly, like, I'm gonna go back down to a three. Oh, what the fuck, Wigel, what'd you do, god damn it? Like, I would do a three and a half, but you guys don't do halves, right?
Starting point is 01:55:37 No, we do do halves. We do halves. Okay, so I'm gonna do three and a half. This is why we haven't brought you back all these years. No, no, we do halves. We do quarters. I'm gonna do three and a half. This is why we haven't brought you back all these years. No, no, we do halves. We do quarters. I'm gonna do three and a half because I love chicken tenders. And this was chock full of really good chicken tenders,
Starting point is 01:55:52 especially for this grade of restaurant. So, and I thought the, it was just, yeah, it was fun to go to town on these tenders. And I loved the ranch sauce. And I thought the dragon fruit was kind of just out of otherworldly for a fast food restaurant. So 3.5. 3 and 1 half forks.
Starting point is 01:56:13 3 forks, two times. Wags wow scared you down from four forks. Yeah, he scared me a little bit. But you know, but I'm getting the. Falling down five. But that placed me into the context of the show. 10 years of fork ratings. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:56:26 Like, if you're doing it that often, you know, you got to, you got to, they come down a little bit, I would imagine. We are professionals at this now, but hey, you're an actor. We'll bleep that. Well, yeah, of course. We'll just bleep that.
Starting point is 01:56:41 We'll just bleep that. We'll just bleep it. We'll bleep that. Yeah. Can I just? An actor, you could put it. Yeah, just putep that. We'll just bleep it. Yeah. Yeah. An actor. You can put it... Yeah, just put it. Overdub, you say actor. You're an actor now. There you go.
Starting point is 01:56:52 Yeah, you can't trust me. Yeah, yeah. Everyone's saying. Let me go next, because I do think I spooked you a little bit, and I also think having given your rating and having maybe read into my reaction here, you might be surprised at where I go. Oh, okay. Because I really enjoyed this menu.
Starting point is 01:57:08 I'm a big Taco Bell fan. Mitch, you know, I will always have love in my heart for Del Taco, which I grew up with and went to more frequently than Taco Bell, but I also went to Taco Bell all the time. And I still love Taco Bell. And I know that Taco Bell is executing in a higher level than Del Taco
Starting point is 01:57:23 as far as consistency goes these days. All the new menu promotions they're trying are a lot of fun. They're hit and miss, of course, because they're just taking so many shots. But I think this one really hits. I think this is in fact a direct hit. I think this is a really well executed tendee. And I think in the context of the taco,
Starting point is 01:57:43 it makes perfect sense for Taco Bell. And I think the new sauces are good. The hot honey sucks, but the other ones are good. And the sauces that are actually paired with the crispy chicken taco, or the spicy ranchero sauce and avocado ranch sauce, both are good and then also pair nicely with the additional sauces, because I'm going to dump some fire sauce packets in one of those, that you're always going to use
Starting point is 01:58:06 to enhance your Taco Bell menu items. So I honestly think Taco Bell in general is a five fork chain. We did the whole, Mitch, again, we had the whole menu. We did a whole Munch Madness Month, just figuring out the best individual menu item. And I think this one would go pretty far if we re-delitigated that tournament. And the crispy chicken taco and the crispy chicken strips
Starting point is 01:58:31 were seeds in the bracket. I'm gonna give the crispy chicken tacos and burritos menu, our Taco Bell visit today, a canonical score of four and a half forks. Wow. So I'm going a little higher. I love it, Wags. I think that's a great score.
Starting point is 01:58:50 You scared me down for my four. No, I mean, if you want to amend yours, you're welcome to do so. No, I want to say 3.5. Okay, guys. You know, it's, I... Oh, we can't scare you back up. Nope, you can't scare me back up.
Starting point is 01:59:01 Well, you know, I've tried my damnedest to make things go viral today. And I feel like I didn't. Ew, why is that wet? OK, that's the moment. That's it. That's it right there. Taste it!
Starting point is 01:59:14 Oh! Mm, I like dog piss. Maybe that will work. Was she licking her paws? I think it was just drool. I think it was just drool. It was probably just drool. Yeah, it kind of tasted just like drool, not like dog piss.
Starting point is 01:59:26 It was close to mute. Yeah, it definitely tastes like drool and not dog piss. Um, fuck, I gotta go to the bathroom again. God damn it. It's fine. We get to get your fork score. No, I'm going to do it. I'm going to get through the.
Starting point is 01:59:35 Fuck, I gotta go so bad. Go. Tell us your fork score. Or you know what? Go to the bathroom now and then come back with your fork score. I can't do this. I can't do this pot anymore. You can't do this part anymore. I can't do this part anymore. I gotta go. I'm gonna do this. Okay. Staring longingly at the door like can I go?
Starting point is 01:59:51 Mind over matter. Mind over matter. Okay. Rather take a shit in the chair or on the toilet. You're only two options right now. All I know is that I'll be sending you a text of it when I'm done You can forward to scorpion Okay, let's just go over the viral breakdown back still boys man, we talked about that the neighbor birthday boys squash the beef Warner Brothers all that stuff we talked about Yeah Okay, we we took the boat by the Epstein Island and we saw Trump and Elon and Jared there. We talked about that. We talked about that.
Starting point is 02:00:27 Okay, we saw you. Okay, we saw Tupac. We met Tupac. He's alive. He's alive. Okay, all right. Some of the stuff you didn't talk about, but this count is time. Okay, all right.
Starting point is 02:00:35 No, I think we hit all the viral points. Okay, yeah, yeah. Oh, fuck, I'm gonna shit. That's viral right there. You go to the bathroom on this couch and we see some of it come out. We're almost at a point where we would do our segment So if you if Mitch you want to take a break, it's a perfect time For shut down for a second. I love Taco Bell. Okay I love Taco Bell
Starting point is 02:00:58 It is it's a five-fork restaurant to me. Yeah, I agree with you. I think that this, I think this, I think that this was a great- Can I go to the bathroom? He's stressing us all out. I'm like scared now. Or you could go in your pants. I think that this is, I think that this is a great, this is a great promotion for them.
Starting point is 02:01:20 I think that the burritos are kind of a strikeout. I agree. But I think the tenders themselves are delicious. And I'm gonna go four and a half forks as well. Four and a half forks. Okay, you guys scare me back up to four. Wow! Taco Bell remains in the golden plate club.
Starting point is 02:01:36 That was my, yeah, that was my gut. Wow, there you go. Where it belongs. Where it is, yeah, there it is. I'm gonna be fine. I just gotta breathe. I ate jalapenos yesterday. Oh. Are you having, like, just what is. I'm gonna be fine. I just gotta breathe. I ate jalapenos yesterday.
Starting point is 02:01:47 Are you having, like, just what is going on? Do you have to take a shit or is it just an injection? Kind of, but it's just gonna be too long. I don't wanna spend a lot of time in there. Let's just finish the fucking- Okay, all right. We can finish the episode. All right, hey, it's time for a segment.
Starting point is 02:01:58 I've got some food related jingles. Amelia's mad at me. Something's not adding up here. Why would it take you so long if it's about to come out of you right now? All right. All right. Ha ha ha ha.
Starting point is 02:02:07 Ha ha ha ha. The, the, the diarrhea break. Bathroom breakdown wise, I went to the bathroom. Yeah. I guess that's why you call it the blues from Elton John came on after I listened to that Ed Sheeran song. Nice, you got it.
Starting point is 02:02:24 Like I guess that's why they call it the Browns? I don't know. Yeah. I guess that's why they call it the blues out in John. And then before that, it was, remember the name from Ed Sheeran? Fuck, I just had it right. Ed Sheeran and 50 Cent and Eminem.
Starting point is 02:02:38 That's what I played in there. Successful. I had to move quick. I didn't have time to wash my hands on the way back. Oh, my god. Please don't hit me. I washed my, smelled fantastic. I just wanna say before I left,
Starting point is 02:02:52 I was in distress and I made up a couple stories. I said that Beck and I drove by Epstein Island and saw Trump and Elon and Jared there, and that was a lie. And I said that we saw Tupac and Michael Jackson there alive. That's a lie. If you're going to go viral, you got to go viral on your own. You can't make up stuff to go viral.
Starting point is 02:03:10 So I apologize to the viral gods. It's big of you to do that. Thank you. Absolutely. Hey, it's time for a segue, but I've got some food-related jingles, and Mitch and Beck must determine which year they came out. It's another edition of Jingle All the Way, spelled W-H-E-Y.
Starting point is 02:03:23 You've been here for two hours. I'm so sorry. Is this it? Yeah, okay, wait. The Rules of Jingle All The Way, spelled W-H-E-Y. The closest guess without- And guess what? I'm pretty fucking good at this game, dude.
Starting point is 02:03:35 So you're- All right, yeah, we'll see. You're gonna watch a video with a jingle in it, you're gonna watch a commercial, and then guess which year this commercial originally aired. All right. The closest guess which year this commercial originally aired. All right. The closest guess without going over wins a point. If you guess the year exactly, you get two points. That's the Arden-Marine rule.
Starting point is 02:03:51 If the game ends in a... Arden-Marine also reviewed The Cheesecake Factory with us. Look at that. During the pandemic, how about that? If the game ends in a tie... It might have been the person we wanted to have on and sit back there for a second.
Starting point is 02:04:01 Yeah, we wanted. If the game ends in a tie, the guest wins. That's the Mitch Kenner rule. If the second guesser can guess a movie from the first guesser's year correctly, they get a point. That's the Murder Brian rule. And you can only do that once per game. And if you can also make the movie guess a food pun
Starting point is 02:04:19 that doesn't have to be explained, you get an extra point. That's the Zach Cherry rule. You can also do that once per game. So let's just get into it and we'll get into the- You can also add a rule if you want. Oh, perfect. Okay, great. If you come up with a new rule, you can actually add it. Wait, what was the last rule?
Starting point is 02:04:32 If you can also, like, so when you guess the movie, if you can also make that movie guess a food pun that doesn't have to be explained, you get an extra point. That was the- That's the Zach Cherry rule. Yeah. Who's just on Kimmel. Well, that's his old, sorry, it's dated, whatever. If it's like... It's like, so yeah, if someone guesses Jaws,
Starting point is 02:04:50 and then you make a food pun off of like a Jaws line. Lobster claws or whatever. Yeah. You picked a hard one. We're gonna need a bigger sandwich. Oh, sure. Then you can get an extra one. It doesn't have to be the movie title specifically.
Starting point is 02:05:02 Yeah, it's just making a food pun. And so also you can add a rule too. Also, it's been two hours, sorry. But also. No, that's OK. Is this, yeah, where are you at usually at this time? We're about like a quarter away through the podcast right now. Yeah, so we got, we're the homestretch.
Starting point is 02:05:15 Today's theme is KFC jingles. The first one is called Extra Crispy. Emma, let's go ahead and play this. Extra crispy. Tender on the inside, crunchy on the outside. Extra crispy. Ooh, okay. Kentucky Fried Chicken, extra crispy. Something different, something great. Get a bucket of chicken.
Starting point is 02:05:28 Fingalickin' good. Have a barrel of fun. Extra crispy. Extra crispy. Something different from Kentucky Fried Chicken with a crispy, crunchy crust. Have a finger lickin' good time. Barrel of fun. Fingalickin' good.
Starting point is 02:05:36 Have a finger lickin' good time. Have a finger lickin' good time. Have a finger lickin' good time. Have a finger lickin' good time. Have a finger lickin' good time. Have a finger lickin' good time. Have a finger lickin' good time. Have a finger lickin' good time.
Starting point is 02:05:44 Have a finger lickin' good time. Have a finger lickin' good time. Have a finger lickin' good time. Have a finger lickin' good time. Have a finger lickin' good time. Extra Crispy, something different from Kentucky Fried Chicken with a crispy, crunchy crust. Have a bigger looking good time. Barrel of fun. Okay. Wow. I got a number. Beck has a guess. You can go first and then we'll alternate who starts each time.
Starting point is 02:05:57 I have a guess as well. What year do you think that Extra Crispy ad originally aired? 1978. 1978. So you get to go first. that extra crispy ad originally aired. 1978. 1978. You get to go, so you get to go first. So here's the thing is that I could guess 1979. Right.
Starting point is 02:06:11 Billy Corgan's favorite year. Billy Corgan's favorite year, of course. And if it's over, I would win, but I actually think it's 1977. I actually really feel in my heart that it's 1977. 1978, 1977. This is the dumbest guess I can make, by the way. Really? Yeah, yeah, it's the worst guess you can make. No one gets a point. You both went over in 1974.
Starting point is 02:06:32 Wow, 74. Way back in the day. I didn't know they had color back then. Can I say movie? Yeah. Year Before Jaws. It's the year before Jaws. I mean, you don't get a point for saying Year Before Jaws. It's the year before Jaws. I mean, you don't get a point
Starting point is 02:06:47 for saying year before Jaws. We both don't get a point. Thanks for nothing. If you can guess a movie from 1974, you could get a point. No, you have to guess the movie from the first guesser's guess, not the actual year of the thing.
Starting point is 02:07:00 Oh, is that what it is? Yeah, I think you have to guess the movie before we know the answer. I wouldn't, no, I don't know. You don't know a movie from 1977? I don't know when any movies are from. 1977, there's a big one in 1977, that's all I'll tell ya. 74, I think it was- Jaws?
Starting point is 02:07:16 74, it's a year before Jaws, I believe. I learned that recently. In 1974, maybe French Connection, is that too, I think that's too late. First made in 72. French Fry Connection, it's a big one, huh? Yeah, French Fry Connection, you got a point. E.T. or something like that. No, I don't know.
Starting point is 02:07:34 What is it? A new, Star Wars, a new hope. Well, you're talking about 1977 though, not in 1974. But that was the one I guessed. It was, you have to guess out the person's year that they guessed. Yeah, it's a second guesser has to guess, can say a movie about the first guesser's guessed year.
Starting point is 02:07:49 Okay, all right, we know that it's clear now. Wow. It's crystal clear. It's a very confusing rule. Box office top 10, 1974. In 78, four. Towering Inferno, a film that's totally been in memory hold
Starting point is 02:08:00 that was a gigantic hit. Blazing Saddles. Wow. Young Frankenstein, same year. Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. Isn't that wild to think about? No. Earthquake, another back in that Towering Inferno era when, like, disaster pics were so huge,
Starting point is 02:08:12 to rule the box office. The Trial of Billy Jack. The Godfather Part II. Airport 1975, again, another disaster movie. 74 was Godfather II, huh? Yeah, Godfather II. Airport 1975, which, like, Airplane is basically spoofing that movie
Starting point is 02:08:26 and related movie. The Longest Yard, the original, the Death Wish, and the Life and Times of Grizzly Adams. How about that? I should know 1978 movies, because you got 78, but we won't get into it. Chinatown also came out in 1974. Damn.
Starting point is 02:08:38 It's an old time. Fuck, we're dumb. So dumb, honestly. All right, next up. Towering Inferno. I'm going to right this way, I'm sorry, I'm gonna look at it. This ad is called Chicken Littles, Come and Go With Me.
Starting point is 02:08:51 Chicken Littles, come and go with me. Chicken Littles, only I can't see. Chicken Littles, come and go with me. So high fives. Wa wa wa wa, chicken Littles. He's clearly a 50s commercial. That's a nice... so high fives. He's clearly a 50s commercial. Yep. Joey, is that Joey? It looks like Joey. It is indeed a young Matt LeBlanc. Wow! Do I get a point for that? I should. But no, because you called him Joey and his name is Matt LeBlanc.
Starting point is 02:09:23 You can add a... we can add a rule if you want. You can add a rule, but it would just give me a point. So I don't know if that's the rule you want to add. You can add a rule if you recognize one of some of the commercials, you get points, you know? Right. But you can make it so you have to say the celebrity's name, not a character they play.
Starting point is 02:09:36 Which means you would get a point. Mitch would get a point. It's pretty fucked up. I think you have to say a character they play. Oh, you want me to? So Mitch would get a point. Yeah, sure, I'll give you a point. Oh, okay. Yeah. All right, so let me write this down down. We have a we have. The Beck Bennett rule has been added.
Starting point is 02:09:49 Yes. That's freaking awesome. I, all right. So I'm going to make a confession here. All right. So Mitch has one point. I was conscious when this ad came out. Wow. So you know when it came out? No, I do not. But you remember seeing it? I remember seeing, I remember seeing this ad. And I also remember, I mean, look, Joey, aka Matt LeBlanc is a big part of this guest here. But I, I remember eating, I get to guess first. Yeah, go ahead.
Starting point is 02:10:17 I'm going to say 1989, which could open you up to some movie guests, which is 89. 1989 is my guess. I think that this is a few years, this is a young Matt LeBlanc, one of his first, oh man, maybe 1990 exactly. 1989, I'll stick with 89. 1989 is your guess.
Starting point is 02:10:33 Mack, what do you think? Without going over. Oh God. I mean, I guess it'd be a smart guess to do 1990, but then we could both be over. You said 89? I'm going 88. You could go to 1980 and catch the whole decade.
Starting point is 02:10:51 Yeah, I realized that. Yeah, I'm gonna go 1980. You're gonna go 1980 and you are going to get a point here because Chicken Littles Come and Go With Me came out in 1987. Oh, two years before, okay. So you each have a point of peace. Next up, this one's called Around the World.
Starting point is 02:11:10 Around the world, there's just one thing we do. Just one, senor. We make the world's favorite chicken. We make it especially for you. You touch it right for you. You're talking about chicken. We do it right. No other fight you can. It's all right.
Starting point is 02:11:31 Be pierced by hand. What a lovely sight. You're talking about chicken. We do chicken right. OK. So obviously, a spot meant to be for an international audience. Yeah. Very inclusive.
Starting point is 02:11:45 Great. That British accent did not feel real. No. I hope that was the only not real accent in the entire commercial, because a lot of it is worrisome, I guess you could say. Yeah, a little bit. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:11:58 Um, anyway, I had a good time, and I enjoyed the commercial. Yeah, I enjoyed it a lot. Bec, you're guessing first this time. What year do you think Around the World came out? So the last commercial came out in 87. That's correct. I think this came out in 1983. 1983 is the guess.
Starting point is 02:12:19 If you guessed one year earlier, I would have been full out ET, but 1983. I should know movies from 83 just gave me look like I should know yeah yeah you should know couple was like batteries not included or some bullshit exactly you won't give me a hint all right 1983 I'm not gonna guess movie yeah I'm just I'm sure that there's one later I'm gonna say that this is a tricky one. It's 1980. Ooh, fuck.
Starting point is 02:12:47 I don't know. You said 1983. I'm gonna go 1984. Oh, wait. You said it. Yeah, 1984. I'll go 1984. 1984. Again, you both overshot it. 1982.
Starting point is 02:12:59 82, my birth year. Yeah. I just said 82. Yeah, that would have been awesome for you You would have gotten two points. Sorry buddy, but you blew it Next up. Yeah, I fucking know dude Still one point a piece. We have next cross the road Jack Cross the road Jack to a place with a taste that's more that's more that's more that's more
Starting point is 02:13:24 I think I was conscious. I was conscious for this one, too. This is one I very much remember Across the road, Jack, to a place with a taste that's more, that's more, that's more, that's more. I think I was conscious for this one too. This is one I very much remember. This is one like I sang. Yeah. A little recipe chicken, sir. You sang the song for this commercial? Chicken little Simon just for him and his chicken.
Starting point is 02:13:36 Chicken and other's cake. You should have kept singing, man. Can't we make that a day? That's right, across the road, Jack. The Tuskegee Five Chickens got more. Was that kid, that kid kind of looks for the roe jack. The turkey fried chicken's got more. Was that kid, that kid kind of looks like the kid from Jerry McGuire. Hmm, Jonathan Lipnicki?
Starting point is 02:13:51 I'm not sure if it is. Can I quickly say 100%? I think I get a point. OK, I'll give you a point. You're going to give him a point? I mean, because the thing is, I don't have confirmation. So I have to go off of the dollar system. Oh, I have confirmation.
Starting point is 02:14:01 Jonathan Lipnicki wasn't born, you fucking fool. Yeah, no. I won't take that one. He wasn't born? In 1990? I'm gonna guess 1990. I'm gonna guess 1990. Mitch is guessing 1990.
Starting point is 02:14:18 Okay, well. The year that Nick was born. I'm gonna go. 1990. So, okay. I'm going to go. 1990. So OK. I'm going to go 91. And Beck, you were going to get a point, because this came out actually all the way in 1997.
Starting point is 02:14:34 Wow. 1997. So it could have been Lipnicki. It could have been Lipnicki, because Jerry Maguire, I think, is out that same year or the year before. Wow. Maybe it is. Is it Lipnicki?
Starting point is 02:14:44 Then I get a point. I don't know if it's Lipnicki? Then I get a point. I don't know if it's Lipnicki. I give him the point. He's got two points. I feel like you should get extra points. So Beck has three. Jerry Macguire came out in 1996.
Starting point is 02:14:51 So Beck has three points. Mitch has one point. Wow. Shot to the top of the chart. So a couple more left. A couple more left. All right. Two hours, 11 minutes in.
Starting point is 02:15:00 This one's from KFC Australia. This is called KFC Hot Cold Bag. But you get the lot and you're doing fine for a crazy 15.99 You buy 10 pieces of chicken, that's fine Plus chips for 15.99 Especially Australia bucks 15 bag as well Can't wait for the steal from the 50-fri chicken Can't wait
Starting point is 02:15:35 That's what they call their dollars, Australia bucks Ha ha ha ha ha Australians do love KFC They love KFC and he did the little chicken thing for the chicken Yeah, I thought that was really nice I I do not know, I don't recognize this actor. This is Australia, so. I don't remember who's guessing for it. Who guessed it first last time?
Starting point is 02:15:50 Bec. Bec is going first this time. KFC hot cold bag, what year? Last one was 97. It was a cold bag, Australia. It's the Austro, I don't think of there being as any sort of Australian rap scene. Like seeing Australians rap in like 1990 feels very asynchronous.
Starting point is 02:16:09 Well don't give us clues. Oh yeah, I just said the year, I'm sorry. I'm gonna go 95. Did you say the year? Did you say it? I accidentally said it, but you guys didn't hear it. I didn't hear it. I did accidentally say the year aloud.
Starting point is 02:16:19 You fool. Wow, well I didn't hear it. We're the fools for not hearing it. He gave us the answer. Unless you really did hear it and I don't know, I'm gonna say the year 2000. You both overshot the year that I said aloud, which was 1990. Wow, damn.
Starting point is 02:16:34 So no one gets a point. Wait, what year did you say it? I said 95. 95, fuck. You gave us the answer. My brain is just mushed lately. I have a hard time associating movies with particular. I know one from 1990.
Starting point is 02:16:47 Can I say that? Yeah, sure. You won't get a point, but you can say it. Goodfellas, Dances with Wolves. That's awesome. Were those both 1990s? Dances with Wolves won the Oscar. Goodfellas didn't win the Oscar.
Starting point is 02:17:01 Oh. Was Last in the Mohicans? No, not last in the Mohicans. We have one more. One last one. Now this is a radio jingle only. All right, this at least looks older. You can use your chance to redeem yourself. This is challenging.
Starting point is 02:17:15 This is one of three. Just a radio jingle. Oh yeah, it's anyone's game. Cause Mitch, you can score more than one point here. I could score three points, technically. You could score, yes. This one is called Perfect Companion Potato Wedges. Oh.
Starting point is 02:17:28 ["Perfect Companion Potato Wedges"] Introducing KFC's new potato wedges. They're the perfect companion to the Colonel's original recipe. A perfect companion is with you till the end. Yes. Like a father, son, mother, daughter. Yes Yes Or your wife's boyfriend to think about the companions in your life. Whether it's that apple core that had you thinking,
Starting point is 02:18:06 hell, one more time, wouldn't it? Or the Viagra just took a shape of a little baby shark. Oh, this is fit. Okay, so I see what's going on here. Yeah, I see, I see the... Is it Drop King? Drop King companion. Is this Drop King?
Starting point is 02:18:20 Hey guys, Drop King here. Hope you enjoyed that very real and oddly doughboy specific jingle from KFC. Was it actually created by Dropmaker Seagulls? Who can say? Cheers to you all, DK. Can I guess a year? 2024. 2024 is a guess. I don't think it has been 20.
Starting point is 02:18:39 I would say 2025. Beck is going to get it and win. In fact, Beck gets an extra point. Yeah. It was 2025? It came out this year. Yeah, someone created this for this segment. Hold on a second. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:18:53 I'm going to guess. They were trying to make it sound like a specific year, if you want to try to guess that. I was going 70s, for sure. I'm going to say this, though. Wags, I'm going to guess, from his guess, 2025 sinners. And then I'm gonna also say dinners. So that's two points I just allotted for myself.
Starting point is 02:19:12 You did get two points, so you lose by a margin of five to three. Well done, Beck. Thank you so much. And you've added a rule. How about that? I mean, I absolutely crushed the game. You sure did. Killing the game, my man. It was a pleasure to play.
Starting point is 02:19:24 It was a pleasure to play. What's the, what is the longest episode that you guys have ever done? We've done a lot of them. We've done a lot. Not even close? OK, great. Because I'm sitting here seeing the 2.16 being like, I did something wrong.
Starting point is 02:19:36 No, you didn't. No, I know. We're having fun. I'm having a blast. So maybe, you know, I'm sitting here going like, oh no, oh no. Meanwhile, it's like, oh yeah, oh yeah. Oh, I think it's oh yeah, oh yeah. I think it's oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.
Starting point is 02:19:47 Maybe that's like, honestly, I'm going to look at my life differently. And I came in here being like kind of an oh no, half glass, half empty kind of guy. And now I kind of see it half full, and I'm going, oh yeah, oh yeah. You got to be more like the Kool-Aid man. You've got to picture full like the Kool-Aid man.
Starting point is 02:20:01 This was awesome. This changed my whole view on life. We just have one question before you leave. Yep. It's an email question. Just like a restaurant, about your feedback. Let's open to the feedback. Today's email is from Emily.
Starting point is 02:20:11 Emily writes, Back in middle school, I had a friend who was a vegetarian since she was five. One day we were talking about pizza and she said that her favorite was pepperoni. Of course it was. We had to break the news to her at age 13 that pepperoni is not in fact made from peppers and her parents had been lying to her. What's a food lie your parents told you as a kid so you just shut up and eat or a misconception you had about a food for an embarrassingly long time?
Starting point is 02:20:38 This is a great question. I don't remember my parents lying to me like that. Yeah. Yeah, they never lied to me to make me eat meat. Yeah. My dad always told me that eating pineapple made your cum sweeter. Okay.
Starting point is 02:20:50 Your dad told you that? Yeah, my dad. My dad always told me that. Got it. But that's true, though. That's a lie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My sister once told these toddlers, her ex-boyfriend's kids that she was trying to get to eat dinner,
Starting point is 02:21:03 that they wouldn't eat their broccoli, and she told them that broccoli turned into cupcakes in their tummies and so then they would eat their broccoli like every time they made it because they thought it was gonna be cupcakes after they ate it and it worked like a charm. Which is very funny. That's very funny, that's good.
Starting point is 02:21:16 Maybe I'll try that on my son. My mom used to say to me, this is a thing I just remember, if health is your wish, then eat more fish. That's what she used to say. That's a nice saying. That's pretty good. Very New England of her. You know, I think the, this is a classic one,
Starting point is 02:21:32 but so it's not that unique to me, but the carrots will help you see better. Yeah, that's like a whole lot. I've heard that one a lot. Yeah, yeah. That's the only campaign. Tuna is brain food was another one. Tuna is brain food.
Starting point is 02:21:44 Yeah, do you remember hearing that? No. Yeah, I think I've heard that. Tuna is brain food was another one. Tuna is brain food. Yeah, do you remember hearing that? No. Yeah, I think I've heard that. Tuna is brain food. That feels along the same lines as if health is your wish, eat more fish. Right. Mm-hmm. They always say to me, if you eat so much pizza, you're going to turn into a pizza.
Starting point is 02:21:58 They used to say that to me. Oh, I do remember that. Yeah, yeah. Which did scare me. Yeah. And then I did have acne. I was greasy and had acne. So I guess it kind of came true.
Starting point is 02:22:07 It kind of came true. It kind of came true in the end, yeah. Yeah. I was told walnuts are good for your brain because they're the shape of a brain. I've actually heard that before. That's a good lie. That's a great lie.
Starting point is 02:22:19 Is it a lie? Yes. Okay. I mean, it probably helps you think. I mean, I guess maybe while it's our good brain food, I have no idea. Yeah, who knows? Sorry for so quickly shutting you down, Emma. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:22:32 That's okay. But that can't be real, right? Everything must feed your brain to some degree. Great point. Right? Because if you're malnutritioned, that's a word, right? If you're malnutritioned, then you word, right? If you're malnutrition, if you're malnutritioned, then you can't think straight.
Starting point is 02:22:48 Malnourished? Malnourished, that's what I was going for. Walnuts offer a rare combination of chemicals that help boost brain function. Holy shit. Including omega-3 fatty acids. Oh, the omega-3 fatty acids are huge for the brain. I'm such a fucking dumbass, I just came out,
Starting point is 02:23:00 yelled, I screamed at Emma. Yeah, that was a big mistake. What's the cum killer? There's the one that you like, the opposite of pineapple juice, the one you would drink and say, you can't do your cum. You think a cop killer would do your song? I thought it was like a Yellow Five die.
Starting point is 02:23:13 Oh, Yellow Five die. That was the big, that was a big. So that might be like a pineapple candy. So artificial pineapple might kill your sperm, but then real pineapple will make it taste great. And RFK Junior's trying to stop that stuff. So it's actually awesome. And I actually believe in everything that RFK Jr. says.
Starting point is 02:23:30 And a lot of people don't understand that he has a lot of really good points about the food color dye and trying to make our cum bigger and stronger. Yeah, exactly. By role moment number six. Number six. They think I'm on board with RFK Jr., but they got to watch the two hours and 20 minutes to find out that I don't? Exactly. By role moment number six. Number six. They think I'm on board with RFK Junior,
Starting point is 02:23:45 but they gotta watch the two hours and 20 minutes to find out that I don't? Ha ha ha ha ha. Hook, line, and sinker. Yeah, but I'm just trying to remember, misconception me as a dumbass kid had. What about if you eat watermelon seeds, a watermelon would grow in your mouth.
Starting point is 02:24:01 That's a good one. Oh yeah, yeah. Remember hearing that one. And then also the same thing with like you swallow gum. It takes seven years to digest, which I don't think is so true. Wasn't there one about tall, growing tall? There was some food grow tall. Well, there's always talk about caffeine stunts your growth.
Starting point is 02:24:14 But I don't know if that might actually be true. I don't fucking know. Yeah, I mean, I have commercials where they're like, I'm tiny now. And then they're like, but I'm drinking milk. And then there was like an older actor. Do you remember these commercials at all? No, I don't.
Starting point is 02:24:25 You don't remember these? These are like a very big milk campaign. I remember that. Thank you, Casey. I remember my mom. I mean, maybe this is true to some degree, but like that fried food would clog my arteries. Yes.
Starting point is 02:24:35 I think that is true. Is that true? Like, I mean, but really? Like, if you eat it all day long. But you know what I mean? Like, as a kid, I was like, oh god, I had a lot of fried food. Like, are my arteries arteries gonna be clogged?
Starting point is 02:24:46 I had the same issue. After my grandpa died of a heart attack, I did not touch fast food for a very long time. I was very nervous about the burkers I had eaten. I mean, I guess she's trying to scare me, so. Yeah, good scare tactic. Good scare tactic, but yeah. Guess it's true to some degree.
Starting point is 02:25:03 I remember one. I don't remember where I heard it, but I heard it takes two days to digest a bagel. Interesting. I don't know if that's true. It sounds like bullshit. I don't think that is true. I don't fucking know.
Starting point is 02:25:15 Yeah. Your mom should go on Scare Tactics, scare people with that little fact toy. She really should. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think she'd be great at it. She'd be like, getting a little goblin costume and pop up behind people and be like, that's gonna clock you out right now.
Starting point is 02:25:29 I'm actually remembering one now. Go away. I'm realizing like most of the stupid shit I heard from adults was from Scout Masters and the Boy Scouts of America. And in Boy Scouts of America, there was a time when the Scout Masters were like, don't drink water when you're hiking, because then that'll make you more dehydrated.
Starting point is 02:25:50 Instead, you want to suck on a rock. What the fuck? So kids would find a pebble and suck on a pebble while they're walking around. This seems like they're... And then just like... Yeah, exactly. And then just be dehydrated and then just get sick. Wow.
Starting point is 02:26:04 I remember I went on this long fucking hike. Slippery slopes. Suck on a rock seems like the first step. Yeah, exactly. And then just be dehydrated and then just like get sick. Wow. I remember like I went on this long fucking hike. Suck on a rock. Yeah, exactly. So you're like the first step. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh man.
Starting point is 02:26:13 That'll get you. Yeah. Yeah, so I do remember a lot of like just completely bullshit advice, like, you know, from, that's the same place where you'd be like, oh, well, you go to the mountains, you're gonna be closer to the sun. So you're more gonna get sunburned.
Starting point is 02:26:24 It's like, no, what are we talking about? This makes absolutely no difference in astronomical things. Those cell masters are full of shit. They're all fucking dumb. They're all full of shit. The most valuable thing I learned in Boy Scouts, where I wasted so many weekends of my childhood,
Starting point is 02:26:40 was that adults can be stupid. And learning that at a young age of, oh, you're a kid's dad, but you're a fucking idiot. Like you just came in a lady, and then now you have a kid in Boy Scouts. Or you're a weird childless man who's volunteering with the Boy Scouts for some non-suspicious reason.
Starting point is 02:26:57 Ruff ruff. Either of these category, but you're just fucking dumb. Like you have like a double digit IQ, you know what the fuck you're doing, and you're trying to provide guidance to children. You're trying to say like, oh, this is what you should do, but it's like, you don't know anything yourself.
Starting point is 02:27:12 You're fucking dumb. I would love to see the guy you're talking about just cut to this guy like sucking on a bunch of rocks and like trying to start a fire and like just getting lost in the woods. Just like you actually had a really dumb guy. Really random dude. But do they give you a badge for that?
Starting point is 02:27:33 For learning? Yeah, for learning that Pete adults are dipshits? I did get, not for that specifically, but I did get the Rifleman shotgun shooting merit badges. And like the context of that was just like, we went out to the desert and one of the Scoutmasters just had a bunch of guns. He just brought his guns and just like,
Starting point is 02:27:50 like a 12 year old just shoot a 12 gauge shotgun. Jesus. Yeah, so we were all just like, I don't know what the fuck, yeah, okay, I'll shoot a handgun, that's fun, you know? Didn't you get a badge for sucking a stone until it dissolved? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Drink love Caroline and Vincey Caroline Anderson for people who listen to comedy bang bang as a case Caroline Caroline who always helps me with my cat sitters and friends gave me this this nice little best this nice little old-school

Starting point is 02:30:37 Yes, this fall, me and Kyle Mooney, longtime collaborators from Good Neighbor, Saturday Night Live. We have a little something coming out in the fall. I'm not allowed to talk about it, because there's a super powerful company that's behind it, and they're not letting me leak it out. So we've got to just wait, because we're
Starting point is 02:31:00 going to give somebody an exclusive. Not us. Not us. Not you. No, no, no. This is such a thing. This is like- This is a pre-exclusive though, which we love. This is a pre-exclusive.
Starting point is 02:31:11 This is not the exclusive. This is a tease. This is a tease of something that's coming. This is a thing where we have to run now this tease by that super powerful company to make sure that we did not go across the far as far as saying something. So we do not want to get in trouble. We're having to be very cagey here, but it's very exciting.
Starting point is 02:31:29 Yes. Thank you. I'm very excited about it. Yeah. We're very, we're, we're, we're very excited about that and about Superman. Uh, we can't wait to see it.

Starting point is 02:32:58 My name is Allison Williams. If you know who I am at all, it would probably be thanks to my job as an actress on shows like Girls and in movies like Megan. Recently, when I was having a moment of gratitude for my group chat, I thought, I wish everyone could have these geniuses at their fingertips like I do. Well, now you do. Hi, Hi, it's Hope.
Starting point is 02:33:17 Hey babe, it's Jamie. Welcome to our podcast, Landlines, where we share our life-sustaining and shame-extinguishing friendship. We have known each other and we've been friends for a very long time. Hope was my first best friend, but it wasn't mutual. I mean, I asked, I distinctly remember calling her on the phone and asking if she'd sit next to me on the bus and she said maybe. At least she didn't say no. I was like, maybe he's meaner. She wasn't sure.
Starting point is 02:33:43 Maybe he's like discerning. When I was pregnant, I started this group chat to prepare and crowdsource. And it's been such a delight to troubleshoot with our friend group. And we just had this thought, should we invite other people into our group chat? I'm a therapist.
Starting point is 02:33:59 I'm a trained early childhood educator. And I'm, well, you know, whatever I am. I guess someone who has the vibe of having it all together. And still the three of us find it hard to be moms, partners, friends, family members, professional women, and just, you know, adults. The stuff we're talking about, whatever the recent fight was with our partner or the parenting concern we have or a funny thing with our kids, or it's like, what's going on with my body? I feel like I have like a family of squirrels living in my lower abdomen. Like I feel affirmed, I feel normalized, I feel like I'm not going fucking crazy. And I had to talk it out with you guys with different perspectives and different
Starting point is 02:34:38 identities that you're juggling. Totally. Lifelong friendship has been our lifeline. We sincerely hope our conversation makes you feel less alone in whatever you're going through. So subscribe to Landlines on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
