This is a head gum podcast. Wow, wow. Thank you. Wow, hey, buddy. How you doing, Minneapolis? So we are doing these shows. These two or dates amidst the ongoing WGA strike, the union I'm a member of. And as, thank you.

God bless you. As you know, if you listen to the podcast, or if you're a very patient plus one who's here today, and this maybe heard some of it, I usually do a scripted intro, but I haven't been doing those during the writers strike, but I know you came to see a show, so I want to do something that I would read up top. So here's what I came up with for this show, because this particular performance and this chain are long time coming. There is signage that hangs in locations of this week's chain, which you probably know about, that display the Taco John's promise, which I think up here they do instead of the flag pledge. So here is a dramatic reading of the Taco John's promise.

At Taco John's, we'll always serve you a generous portion of high quality, fresh tasting Mexican food for a fair price. Every menu item will be carefully prepared using the best ingredients to give you a bold taste with Westmex flavor and attitude. Our service will be efficient and friendly and our restaurants will be clean and pleasant. Your satisfaction means everything to us. This week on Doe Boys, live in Minneapolis, Taco John's! So it's the Duno Awards! Duno Awards!

Yeah, for people listening to the podcast later, Mitch came out in a, his print-slash-Austin-powers cosplay. That's now both, yeah. And then the...

No, it's both now. the jacket lasted about 15 seconds. Swampy. A doe boys listener. What did you say, ma'am? I'm trying to get your father back on that one. You're fucking out of here. Get her out. Sorry.

D.N. me was like, I had a ticket to Taylor Swift and I sold it. And I'm coming to your show instead. And I was like, is this like some single 40 year old dude?

Who is going to go to the Taylor? We did the most service. It's going gonna show up to the Taylor Swift concert stag in a Golden Plate Club t-shirt. Great show, dear ladies, huh? You liking it? Are you here? Yes! Why? Why did you do that?

Stand up, stand up, you freak. Wow. You freak! I hope you made money at least. What's up St. Paul? When they call you guys the twin cities, many apuses the Danny DeVito, isn't it? The city sucks. Wow. My cousin John, who's here tonight,

I said I won't point him out, said Rip in the middle of the office. He's the same Paul guy. Oh, all right. Yeah, there's gonna be a same Paul contingent. This is a good number of same Paul people here, all right. Yeah, there's gonna be a St. Paul contingent. This is a guy who has a good number of St. Paul people here, right? Yeah. They both suck.

Somebody confused booze. Well. They got the wolves now, they're fine. We might need security for the first time ever. Yeah, egging on a Midwest crowd who's already showed up blackout drunk, probably not the best idea. I got a question for you. Why is it so warm in this damn city? Every place we went at, AC doesn't really like it. blackout drunk, probably not the best idea. I got a question for you. Why is it so warm in this damn city? Every place we went at, the AC doesn't really even work in. It's true.

What's going on? What's the deal? Human! Human. Thank you. All right, good way to prove. Nick statement, a moment ago wrong. Humanity.

Somehow made that a seven syllable word. We were at a pub last night, a local establishment, just having some, we got in, we got a few drinks, and it was super, it was so hot inside, and the waitress said that the AC was said at 80. Is that a breeze? Don't you guys have that? She's curbs and shit, what's going on? AC was said at 80. Is that a crazy? Is that a crazy? Don't you guys have that? She's curzing shit. What's going on?

Chordages started earlier today.

It's true I'm on the other side of it basically so his doctor gave him steroids and he was and I told him I just recently taken him to for other reasons And he was like when you took steroids and I told him I'd just recently taken him to for other reasons. And he was like, when you took steroids, did you fucking like check to up? Shit, he was doing this backstage for real. I feel like I'm 10 feet tall.

Yeah, wow, think he way to go. I was distracted because I meant to read this earlier, Mary who sent in the roast, a write, wrote in as a public school teacher who was out on the picket line for three weeks here

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha- That's Matt's bar. Sorry. No, you would have had Juicy Lucy's before? No. You would never have had one. No. Not a real one. Not a real one, yeah. There's a place in LA that makes them value the words.

Yes. But not a real authentic one from here. For me, it's about once a week. I've had Matt's bar. I came here for the Super Bowl when the Patriots lost to the Eagles. I was here. For me it's about once a week. I've had Matt Sparrow, I came here for the Super Bowl when the Patriots lost to the Eagles, I was here. Jesus Christ. And your freezing cold city was so cold. The biggest Super Bowl mistake they've ever made. And I had I had Matt mats then, but I've also had, what is it called the 8-5?

Oh, I got it backwards, the 5-8 club. The 5-8 club. 5-8 club. Who's, who's 5-8, who's team 5-8? Ooh. And where's the mats contingent? Wow. Oh my God.

I don't think I could tell. Let's get it one more time. Ha, ha, ha, ha. I was saying 5'8." That's Simpson's joke, Wags. I didn't have to do it, but I, I'm sorry, shut the fuck up. Um, I, it was good, Wags.

Yeah. We joked about me coming out dressed out as, as Prince and then eating a juicy Lucy. Right. And I, I did do it. I just had the juicy Lucy a few hours ago. And it was great. Yeah, the smart move.

You shouldn't have eaten that on stage. That would have been a mess. Yeah. I didn't, I opted not to go because I've been, I just like, I can't, my body can't take it. I just couldn't do it. Sorry my body can't take it. I just couldn't do it Sorry, I couldn't do it Also your boy cutting Bud Light right yeah

Well, I'm curious because Carl I you've been to Minneapolis in the past you've been to the Twin Cities I. I've been here before. Do you have opinions on the food scene here, the city in general? Ah! It's fine. Ha-ha-ha. It's when we were talking today. I was like, man, touring is tough. We got to leave early tomorrow morning.

I was like, you only get a little bit of time in the city and you were like, yeah, I've been here before. We're good. Ha-ha-ha. We've seen it. We saw the Hinnepin Bridge, I'm fine. You guys got a river here. That's true.

And 10,000 lakes. Wow. 10,000 lakes. 10,000 lakes. Too many. I look it up. Wow 10,000 lakes 10,000 lakes too many I Looked it out. It's actually like 11,000 in chains. Isn't that crazy? Yeah Why do they say why do they say the home of 10,000? It just sounds better It's more sonorous, but like like land of 11,524 lakes

It's like doesn't roll off the tongue in the same way. Yeah, land in 10,000 you haven't written a complaint to them yet about that. Oh, I did. No, it's filed. Let's talk a little bit about Mexican food, because that's the chain we're going to cover. A stencil day. Oh, wait, fuck. Yeah.

Oh, I know I did my drop. How did you forget that? I was so nervous. I'm so glad you said that Nick because I have been waiting all my life to talk to a room for the Minnesota white people about Mexican food. Man, you guys are not gonna like us. So I go, John's looks like the most closed open restaurant I've ever seen in my entire life. I gotta see my friends.

Where's she going? Sorry, I'm going rogue. I just want to say what's up to these two guys right here. They were in the restaurant, you got to say it. That's right. They were. You clocked them. And my man was wearing some Berkinstok's with his jeans and it was like 90 degrees outside.

I was like, he can't decide if he's warm or. It's cold out. His toes had to stay cool with his legs, too cold. So I just wanted to check his shoes today. He's wearing closed toes shoes today. We were shocked that we ran into anyone. We went to a weird spot. Alex and Alex. Yeah, those are the two guys. Alex and the other guys like my name is also Alex.

Who the God? You don't forget a thing like that. Who would have thought that guys we ran into are also in the front row? We love you guys, you were great. God bless you, let's talk generally before we get into Taco John's. Because I'm curious, Mexican food is probably my favorite food. I born and raised in Southern California, lived in Nellie County my entire life. It's food that grew up with a food that I have a lot of passion for, both the more authentic

version, going to a great Wahakken restaurant, and then also the Taco Bells and Del Tacos of the world. And Carl, I'm curious, and Mitch as well, I'm curious where it falls for you like in your hierarchy of cuisine. And my hierarchy of Mexican cuisine? No, in cuisine in general, like where, like Mexican food, yeah. Oh, it's up there.

Yeah, yeah, I'm like, I'm from Mississippi, like the river here. And I, so first, it's like Cajun, yeah, I'm like I'm from Mississippi like the river here and I So first is like Cajun southern so food and then Mexican. I think it's a close second Wow because I also move from Mississippi to LA right so I'm very familiar with good Man Oh man. Mitchy, we've talked before about your relationship with Mexican food and how it really like changed a lot when you moved from Quincy to Los Angeles.

One of my deeper relationships that I've ever had in my life. It changed a lot. Yeah, I did not, you know, it wasn't in the top three or four for me. Sure. And then when I made that move to LA, it's firmly number two now. What is your favorite single item to get from a Mexican restaurant? Hmm, great question. The room went silent. Well, because everyone's thinking about it. Maybe they are.

No, you're not supposed to answer. I mean a California Brio is a good answer. Fuck she was right. God damn it. You know what I love for an app a nice K-so fun Dito. That's a blast. That's a good. That's a fun app. I don't know if everyone's happy. If people grown more of a text thing, but I think it's fine. Yeah. Oh, no, it's good. Yeah, it's good. Yeah I I think I think Cali Cali burritos maybe in from I think that's I mean how look? It's not as fun to get at a Mexican sit-down restaurant because you want the you want the sizzling the sizzling of the fajitas Sure, and yeah, but people walk by with fajitas you go what did they get? You want to turn around and see what they got.

Yeah, that's the fun of it. And the California burrito is not fun, but I think that's my number one. Yeah, Carl, how about you? I'm gonna keep you sampling just that you can't go wrong with a case of deal with whatever meets you wanna get in it, like you chicken or a shrimp of steak carne asada. Yes, you ladies.

You and tacos, like if I'm at a truck, I want like six tacos. If I'm at Taco Bell, I want like six tacos. I love a case idea as well, I love a big burrito. But I'm six packin' a pound, you could say. We're gonna get to that. All right, all right, not there yet. I'm just checking. They don't know where we ate it, mits. We did, we did, we talked about not going, we, of doing a different restaurant than Taco

Johns. And how mad you guys would all get. Yes. Everyone like, we went to Wendy's, it looks good. After not coming here for five years or whatever. I'm firmly in the taco camp and I really like, like, I think honestly, I feel like you're really fucking good fish taco, like that, like, like a really well-made one. That's one of my favorites. Also, like, I've really gotten into Bidia lately and so, like, you got a good Bidia. So, it's like a goat Bidia? Oh my God. What a treat.

An absolute delight. But, you can't go wrong, that's the thing. It's just like there's so many tasty delights. That's what I was feeling. I'm in a Mexican place, I'm overwhelmed by all the options. Cause I like everything. The steroids are kickin' in, everyone relax, to stay calm.

And you can do it. You can be like, give me a taco, and a pro in a quesadilla. You can do all that, you can get a queso vandido as well. You can do it all, you can have fuckin' chips and guac. All right, relax, dude, relax, it's cool. This is the most animated I've seen Nick on a trip so far. Maybe because is this the first one in a while?

This is the first one in a while. So I've caught Nick, I've been on the road with them, whereas the end and Nick don't want to talk to nobody. And tonight he's giving y'all all of it. Yeah. We'll see. Yeah, screen for him. He was also animated when we were talking about BUBB light earlier too.

Yeah, that's true. I don't want it. And that's my choice. That reminds me of the time we was animated. Taco Jones was founded in 1969. We were at the bar like, I just say this? Yeah. We were at the bar last night I was watching the TV

and on the TV was just ducks getting shot. It's true, it's a bird shot ad. Just fucking ducks getting shot out of the sky. What the fuck? And the bird's getting blasted. Real life duck hunts. Ducks just getting Peter North into oblivion. What's wrong with you guys?

Isn't it, aren't these, it's liberal here, isn't it? There's a rural part. It's like America. There's liberal, there's liberal urban strongholds and then the rest is rural and very conservative. That's just America. Look at any county by county map. That's just America. Look at any county-wide county-wide. That's America.

Mike Mitchell, that's America. I still proudly drink bubblit, I will say, on the record. Not around all my Quincy friends, but most of them. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. You know, Mitch, I think we both had those times when we weren't sure where our lives were going. What to do? Who to talk to?

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

way. That's right, Wags. Whether you're dealing with decisions around career, relationships, or anything else, therapy helps you stay connected to what you really want while you navigate life.

This is a Wyoming chain. What the hell, guys? Name some respect for yourselves. Look, it's a Midwest Mountain West institution. That's my understanding. It's name for founder John Turner who began the chain as a trailer named Taco House. 400 locations in 25 states all in the center of the country. Mitch, you'll like this. The original mascot was a devil with a sombrero with

slogan hottest spot in town. Oh my god, I don't like that. That's scary as hell. This is also scary because apparently you can own this term. They own the trademark for Taco Tuesday. No, no, they don't, no, they don't. LeBron James does. They did or what happened? They still own it apparently. They still own. Yeah, Taco John's.

No, because like LeBron did those where they were Taco Bell ads, where he said he couldn't say Taco Tuesday because it was trademark. That's the reason. That was insane of him, I'm sorry, I know you love the man. To try to take Taco Tuesday, he deserves it. I heard enough. He deserves every day of the week. Wing Wednesday, chicken thigh Thursday, Fun Dito Friday.

So we went to the location where we met Alex and Alex, the new hope location. New hope Minnesota. Hell yeah. You know, they retconned it. Now you say Taco John's episode forward, a new hope. Used to just be taco johns. And then people are like, oh yeah, you mean a new hope? I was like, come on, we mean taco johns, but yes, a new hope.

We had great service there. That's one thing I will say. We gave them a large order and they did not batteneye. They were super friendly to us. I wish you could tip on the app or on the card. Thankfully, I'm ahead cash, and we're able to leave a tip. But that is like just a frustration I have with chains in general these days.

You should be able to tip on your card, because people don't care about cash as much. We got a six pack and a pound. Now look, here's the thing. I was happy with the no tip. Oh, you can't tip on the card. That stinks. Thanks.

Here's the thing. We ordered a hundred dollars worth of food. We did. Which is pretty hard at Taco John. Yeah, we ran up quite a bill. Here's the thing, the psychopaths who demanded that we cover this chain also insisted we get specific things. And I felt like if we did not get six pack and a pound there would have been a riot some chairs would have been thrown So that was one thing we did back in a pound. We did not have this for that. We didn't have to do that

We could have ordered the tacos all a cart and the the old let the Oles all a cart and it would have approximated the same thing But we did the six pack in a pound so there you go We got a half crispy and half soft Here's what they say about their tacos. It's a 100% American- I got a high-boss lettuce and cheese. I got a high-boss lettuce and cheese. I was making a joke about how I can't get hard.

Yeah, I got it. It was good. I got my cousins here. That sucks. Sorry, John. And his lovely wife, Leah. sucks. Sorry, John. And he's lovely, wife, Leah. I'm sorry, guys. We warned you the show was bad.

Mitch did say that to them backstage. Sorry, the show will be bad. I also told Wig's, I was like, this is like a normal cut, because I was like, my cousin's gonna come backstage and you looked upset. Yeah. And I was like, this is a normal cousin. like, my cousin's gonna come backstage and you looked upset. Yeah. And I was like, this is a normal cousin. Yeah, come see he's gonna come back here.

Hey, I'm bitches cousin! Oh, we forgot to say there was a pawn shop next door to the Taco, to the Taco Johns and I bought a gun. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha Why go as all roided up playing Russian roulette with a backstage? Fucking in his mouth So it's very bullet out of that thing um This is taco johns can I quit? I want yeah, I go okay, no, we're gonna say no, no keep going keep going I just figure we could take this piece by piece. I'm dead This has been all goddamn two days.

Just bickering. Somebody talk. Sorry, Carl. We, OK, so here's Taco John's. This is their thing. We are a taco place. Tacos, that's the thing. This is their, it's a very simple preparation.

Beef, mild sauce, lettuce and cheese, they got a crispy version, they got a soft version. I had one of each, I'm trying not to eat much beef these days, but you know what, I felt like I owed it to this particular chain. We all, I feel like had the same take, which is that... Uh oh. Uh oh. COVID should have lasted longer. Very trouble.

There was, let's just say, an absence of seasoning on the beef. seasoning on the beef. I felt like they took 80-20 chuck and just threw it onto the flat top and then scooped it into a shell. I mean, the beef doesn't apply. The old lady would be satisfied with the beef.

Yes. But she might be asking, where is the seasoning? Yeah, because there is the mild sauce, but it's like, I honestly, I took a little bit of it and just had it on its own, just to be like, am I missing something? And I was like, no, this tastes pretty plain. Maybe it has some seasoning on it's like I honestly I took a little bit of it and just had it on its own just to like be like am I missing something? And I was like no that she tastes pretty plain maybe that's some seasoning on it, but I don't know

Um Yeah, no tasty pretty bad just agree Taste pretty bad. Let me say this. Do people talk about how it is it's taco. It's like a toilet taco, John's do people talk about that? Is that a thing that people do talk about or no. I'm sure. Okay. We've talked before about how in Australia, they call Burger King Hungry Jacks. And also Jack is apparently slang for urinal.

So it's the same sort of thing. Yeah. It fits. It fits. I had a hungry Jack before I came to the show today. I'm in a hotel room next to Mitch, and I was like, what is that Pac-Man sound? There's no arcade games here.

I heard a big bang in your room earlier, I told you that. The fucking iron board is broke. I had the same issue. Yeah. I pulled a shit up and I just fresh out the shower in my drawers. Wow. I pull it up because I don't want to have a wrinkle of shirt for all you beautiful people. And I pull that shit up and it goes sharp right back on the ground The the ride the mechanism that holds it up wasn't long enough

So I thought I'm not familiar with things not being long enough It didn't the iron board is broke. I thought the gun you got from the pawn shop would off. It was a pretty loud blast. No, I thought it was like, okay, this is an issue with my particular ironing board, but no, it's a design flaw with all the ironing boards they've stocked the hotel with. What the fuck's going on in this city? What are you, how are you, as an ironer? Because I struggle with it.

I've been getting better. I got my mom bought me a steamer for Christmas Oh, wow This is much easier. Yeah, that's much easier. It's your shirt's clean and they're a little warm when you put them on it a little warm and moist Yeah, you want a dream a warm moist shirt Like walking around this city these past two days I'm sitting these past two days. I'll say this to the about the tacos. The crunchy tacos had a really crispy shell and they talk about they cook the shells

fresh every day. They're not like from a box and I do feel like you could taste that difference so that was nice from a textural standpoint. Could have used maybe some more cheese and some more sauce. Let's move down the list because I will say this was a highlight for me, the fried chicken tacos. I don't know if this is a staple of the menu or recent addition. I just got some intel.

Is the beef from a can? Is that true? Is it canned beef? Caned beef? What the... Tinned beef? No, no, no. Just for how weird you got that.

Who are you? Also, who's texting you now? What are you doing? Get off your phone. I got some taco sources, taco junk sources, I'm just so proud of you. Who are you? Also, who's texting you now? What are you doing? Get off your phone. I got some taco sources, taco john sources, I'm talking to. I was pulling up my phone because look, we haven't brought them up yet.

It's going to get a big old pop. We're waiting for it. Oh, come on. Are you fucking trust me? All right, I'm fine. All right, I'm fine. Let's move down the list. We must follow the list. Saying maybe Carl saw Nick and I go into our one room that we share yelling at each other last night.

All I had was my teddy. Which is the gun I bought at the pawn shop. I named it Teddy. The fried chicken tacos were a highlight for me. I did like those. They came with a Chipotle lime or spicy jalapeno ranch A little bit, you know, I'm a bit of a heat seeker and I don't feel like the I'll say this about their sauces. They have a mild sauce, which is very mild, and a hot sauce, which is also shockingly mild. And... Also that mild sauce.

In a green packet, so you're like, oh, all right. It's very, very, very, very, yeah. Oh, no, just red. Yeah, just red. Yeah. But... You're going to wait here, this, sir. There was some actual... That's the last straw. But the way here this sir

There was some actual Astral There was some actual spice in that jalapeno ranch. I thought those were delightful. I'm going back to Bud Light We also got some I mean, I don't know any thoughts on the fried chicken tacos I ate one of, Emma got the fried chicken tacos, I ate one of her because she didn't want to finish it. I didn't, it wasn't that bad, she got the lime cream, Chipotle ranch, jalapeno ranch sauce on it. Before you all applaud Emma on the great order she had, she was up till 5 a.m. with food poisoning. Yeah. Oh. Painted the walls. Sorry, I'm- I'm-

Yeah, sorry, I'm- But it is in your contract that you have to eat the same meals we eat, so you really had no choice here. Your precious taco johns almost killed our producer. The taco john storefront looks like a storefront from Grand Deft Auto 1. This is right next to Cluckin Bell. Here we go again. Oh shit, here we go again.

So, CJ. Let's talk burritos. I got myself a super burrito with chicken, and this comes with beans, mild sauce, a lot of tomatoes, cheese onions, sour cream. Not bad. You know, the tortilla itself was a little gummy. I didn't love the chicken. The fried chicken had a lot more texture and flavor.

This chicken was just kind of a little limp and lifeless, but I thought the beans were nice and there were a lot of beans. So that's to it's credit. I thought this was fine. I didn't try to burrito, but I got, can I tell what I got? Yeah, please. I got the stuffed taco.

Stuffed beef taco. Stuff beef taco. Stuffed beef taco. We both got it. I think I believe it had the nacho cheese sauce and what you dip the olezin on it as well. Yeah. And sour cream and seasoned and then some shredded cheese as well. Yeah.

I thought the stuffed beef taco was good. It was good. And this is where I got introduced to Taco John's beef. I had to, I think I put maybe, I don't know, no less than 27 packs of the hot sauce on it. And you know, that gave it a little bit of a kick. If you lost your taste during COVID, I feel like you would Taco John's the spot to be. You have no clue.

I was doing so well. You're both making me laugh and I'm coughing again. I should run another cough trap. I think this is pump some more steroids. Do that bane shit. Fuck the jack. Wags, we're going down the list. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked.

I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked.

I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked.

I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. I'm gonna get jacked. It's the verbiage. All right, that's why I got it. But you're right, it kind of looked like it seemed like it had been forgotten because it looks like a hybrid between a taco and a burrito. Yes, yeah. I thought it was pretty tasty, I enjoyed it. Yeah. This one also had the Chipotle lime sauce, so that was probably part of it. I think anything that was sauce, it helped quite a bit. Yeah, absolutely need sauce.

We got the 4-cheese quesadilla mits, you and I shared that. This is Asadero, queso blanco, Monterey Jack and cheddar, those are the 4-cheese quesadilla mits, you and I shared that. This is Asadero, queso blanco, Monterey Jack and Cheddar. Those are the 4-cheeses. It was like eating nothing, I guess you could say. It was so insubstantial. It's kind of amazing. Sorry. It's like a top chef challenge

to make a flavorless quesadilla. I don't know how it happened. It's like a flour tortilla filled with more flour. It's fat guy hell. You're like eating a bunch of cheese. And you're getting fat or you're not tasting anything. Anyways, sorry again. We got some nachos.

We got the super nachos. You just have beef beans, a four cheese blend, same four cheese blend, tomatoes, guacamole, and sour cream. I liked the nachos. I like the nachos. I go on the record saying I liked the nachos. I thought they weren't bad. They had some good texture to them.

Mmm. That guaxos. What the fuck was that? That wasn't guac sauce, what the fuck was that? That wasn't guac, guys. I don't need the guac to be authentic. Sure. But that was... It was an avocado salsa at best.

It was not so much a guac. Yeah. It was sort of just like a green sauce. Yeah, no. It should just call it green sauce. It would be like, all right, fine. It was a little slimer load. It was kind of, it was a little pathetic, little, it was not, it didn't look great.

The staff was great. The staff was great. And they're playing some good jams in their body, right? Was playing, we heard some good music. Great music, good music. Great playlist. Good music. Great playlist. And the guy put up with us, we asked for everything.

Here we did. And he did all of it. He didn't smile. It wasn't service with a smile. But he didn't need to. He was cool. He was cool, dude. Holy stone face.

It was like buster Keaton. It was amazing. He never got mad. Never got upset. And Mitch here, you guys, this'm not, this is not me saying that you're not a nice guy, but he's a very nice guy. And he does this thing where he continuously apologizes for everything.

And the guy was not getting frustrated with him. He just kept being like, yeah, and Mitch is like, I'm sorry, can you take that off? Can you take that off? I don't want that. What, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what,. What what what what out that? He's like, all right, he took it off. Already did this. I did this. I mean, he was killing it. And he he he did not smile,

but he didn't need to. I still felt comforted and won't comforted and warm. Yes, by him. He also gave me a discount card to go next door and buy a gun. I ordered a stick in Jesus. I ordered a chicken stuffed taco. And I was like, oh, wait, I'm in beef stuffed taco. And I was like, could you change it? Actually, if it's already in the system, it's fine. You don't have to change it. And he was like, I changed it. It's fine. Don't worry about it. He didn't care at all. Alex and Alex, would you guys agree that he was nice, dude?

Very nice guy. Lovely man. Did he compliment your toes, Alex? That's a shame. Any other menu items we haven't gotten to yet? Oh, we got the... Just before we get there. The desserts are we going after that?

Let's talk desserts real quick. We got the churro. Some of us chanting Nacho cheese just so you know. We got the churro and the Mexican donut bites. The Mexican donut bites. No! No! No! Honestly if we didn't add those Mexican donut bites to this order, I would have just came out here and flipped you all off and walked backstage. That's a big fat loud mouth was right. I owe him an apology. The Mexican donut bites for people have not- Alex! I don't know if you're a big fat-

Alex, those shit from Taco John's yesterday. Not now, not now, not during the dope-boy show. Here in Pac-Man's Sounds from the bathroom. The Mexican donut bites for people who haven't been to Taco John's are described as bite-sized pastries rolled in cinnamon sugar and jizzled with rich cream icing. I would. The result is right. Yeah, they are, they are jizzied dessert raviolis.

And they were very sweet, perhaps a little too sweet, but they were kind of delightful mouthfuls. Rich cream sounds like a st. Paul city council person. Rich cream. Rich Cream sounds like a Saint Paul city council person. Both Rich Cream. I'm gonna clean up this town. Starting with all the Bud lights. What do you think of those, those don't have bites, Mitch?

I like them quite a bit. I don't think that they're enough for this one guy who's going insane. Yeah. It needs to be fucking Calm down Now the chiro was fine, but I'll just say oh if I want authentic chiro I'll go to a place like Costco or Disneyland. Thank you very much. Wow I smoked it like a cigar that was fun you did No, I thought it was fine as a fine chura

So let's get to the piece there is a stunts the thing that Marcus smart. I'm gonna miss you. I love Mark's a tough trade. I know How I have any Edwards He's good wonderful on. On the art. Call Anthony Towns. Gonna be a clipper next year. Shut up. What we're doing this, can we take the temperature of the room on Rudy Go Bear?

This is set, don't do this. He's here tonight. Rudy, come on out. No, he only goes to the Joe Rogan podcast. That's real. That's true. Let's talk potato Olaes. These were much hyped. And people who are your defenders of Papa Johns are like, you have to get these people who are like, maybe Luke Warman Papa Johns are still saying you gotta have the potato always.

Taco John's. You said. What did I say? You said Papa John. Oh sorry Papa John. Taco John. Whatever. Hey be nice.

We got everybody Papa D is in the house tonight. So this was the fight. Nick, this is don't insult Papa John's like that. Yeah sorry sorry to Papa John. This was the fight when we weren't even, we were on the way to the hotel from the airport. That's right, when they started getting into it. And,

Nick and I, Mitch's, you know, they're both discussing how we're gonna entertain you folks tonight. And Mitch goes, You know they're both discussing how we're gonna entertain you folks tonight and Mitch goes where we go somebody told me that I got to get the Potato Oles Extra season I got to do that and and Nick was like well, I gotta get one that ain't seasoned because I gotta have a control group For the rest of the fucking people there. We'll get it all season. I Stand by that. I need a baseline Nick

Little did you know you didn't have to worry about seasoning at the restaurant we're going to. Because we got them triple seasoned and they were the same. I'm just in the middle of them being like, ooh, a prince mural. Three different texts in the last 48 hours. Yeah. I used to be obsessed with Taco John's. If you guys don't love last 48 hours. Yeah. I used to be obsessed with taco jones. If you guys don't love the potato LAs, I'll be sad. That's my friend Danielle, my friend Toby. If you would judge me, here's a couple

expert taco jones suggestions, stuffed grilled taco, ass for extra seasoning on the potato LAs. Also get both cheese and sour cream to dip them in. Yes. Brian O'Donnell, also, make sure you get nacho cheese, the L.A.'s also get both cheese and sour cream to dip them in. Yes. Brian O'Donnell also makes sure you get nacho cheese with the L.A.'s. Yes, so there's one vote for extra seasoning. So again, that's my, that bolsters my case that we should have gotten some with the default seasoning, which we did.

Just have a baseline. I'm fine with that. I know, so it didn't have to be a fucking fight. Ooh, a Prince mural. It was a Lizzo mural backstage. Shout out Lizzo. We got interviewed in a... What was the publication?

I should know. The racket, thank you. The racket. Yeah, that's right. Wonderful interview. Is he here tonight? He's here. Is he the guy who's been chanting Nacho G's?

Haha. Where he is right there. Oh, hell yeah. What's up, buddy? I've lost all respect for you. Yeah, our buddy Jay over there. And Jay was, it was a lot of fun. Jay, we were bringing up, you tell the story. Jay, basically at a up, you tell the story.

Jay, basically, at a certain point was like, so, you know, where you're performing is not far from where Prince came up. And Mitch and I both kind of interpreted that as, it's a pretty thinly veiled comment that we're a microcosm for the decline of culture. That we're, we're pretty much, you once performed is now Doboy's life. You knew what you were fucking doing. You're not wrong.

No, you're not wrong. We can't argue with you. It shows bad. Yeah, it's bad. Let's talk about the potato wellas. I, so Emma noted that they charged that they say, do you want nacho cheese or sour cream? And you can say both, but whatever you say, they charge you for them. Like, it's not like, hey, you just get that as part of it.

It was a $1.79. Yeah, by the way, great gift. Everyone who texted me and all of you, you gotta get the nacho cheese. They fucking ask you if you want it when you're there. It's not a big secret. Yeah. It's a big secret. Yeah. Yeah. We did it.

We did, we got them both. He said you want not your cheese. We got them both. We got them both. We got them both and they were fun dipping sauces. Yeah. I had a blast. The not your cheese pretty good.

Good not your cheese. I got, I also got text. I got a friend who's from Montana who really was like, you got to get the Olaes. And I got a friend who's from St. Paul, who went to St. Paul Central Play Football, named St. Paul Central People, Kenan Montgomery, anybody know him? Anyway, he played football at St. Paul Central

like 10 years ago, I don't know. But, and he also played at Wyoming, and he was like, the potato Olaes hit. You know, he's a football player, so he got to use football references, so he was like, the potato Olaes hit. Ha ha ha ha. Like a first down.

Yeah. You got to pop them in your mouth like a third long. Ha ha ha. Did you really play football? Let's ask you that guy. Um, look, I'm just gonna say it wags. Yeah. I love the potato old lady.

They're good. We liked them. Real good. We like them. Real highlight. We like them. Real highlight. They were great. We like them. Rest of the menisak.

Rest of the menisak. The people who are the later is good. Who was booing the potato always? Was there booers? OK, so let me say this. Are there things they were saying spoon? OK, good. No, I think they were booing.

I don't know. Who cares? Either way, here's what I was expecting the potato O'Lay's to be. Yes. Get ready for this, Madam. I thought there was going to be like, like, cut up potatoes with like Mexican seasoning on them and stuff like that. I did not expect them to be like, potato tights, fucking ducking doughnuts, Chick-fil-A, Hasht brown, Burger King,

Hasht brown. That don't mean I didn't like them. Two things can be true. So you guys are part of this internet culture. Two things can be true. There's nuance. But I was not expecting what I got. Did I enjoy what I got? Yes. Was I expecting what I got? No. Are you maybe a little too crazy about a me maybe? But I think if I got these all the time as a kid, I would be like, oh, every one of these is like a bite of a memory, you know what I mean? They were well-fried, they were really consistent, and they came out of hot and crispy, the great texture, I thought this wasn't item

that was well seasoned, even without the extra seasoning and the dip and sauces were a lot of fun. You know what else, you can just dip them, catch up if you like. I'm sure kids like to do that, it a little bit of that too. Is that okay with you all? Oh!

Oh! Ha-ha-ha-ha! Now see, I didn't do it this time because I've received death threats from some of the food items that I have tried on this damn show. So I just stuck with the sour cream and the nacho cheese and it was fine.

Thank you. Ketchup works fine on these fuckers, isn't it? Yes. We sometimes get shit about like, you should try to control the crowd This crowd is fucking insane. Yes It's Taco John's not that good I want to add one bit of context here, which is part of the reason I didn't accompany you to Matt's is I went back to Taco John's.

Wow. Kind of cooler that we went to Matt's though, right everybody? I wanted to get a second opinion. I wanted to get a second opinion. I wanted to get a second take from a second location, and I also wanted to try to get breakfast. But here's the thing, have you ever tried to navigate the skyway? What the fuck is the skyway?

I walked to where the map said the taco Johns was, and I did a full circle, like to full lap around the block and I couldn't find a place to enter and I was like it says it's a skyway location and I looked above me and there were like sky bridges that you have to like I'd like go to another building and enter through there and take an escalator up and take a connected for people who are from the city. These are like air conditioned or heated for the winter season elevated tunnels that connect a bunch of different buildings in downtown and like and they lead you through

like basically this giant sprawling mall across a bunch of different city blocks so by the time I did that it was past when breakfast was being served I missed the window I did get myself a bread. You're the same Paul, can I just yell them first? Yeah. Choose an element. You got your choosing lace, you got the sky way, air or water. What do you watch?

Choose one element, you only get one. Watch Avatar the last airbender. Watch Pixar's elemental. Pick a lane. Pick one. Those are the messages of those IP. Okay, so I, but I did go up there. I got a fried chicken tacos combo.

Those are fucking great. They were, they were, honestly, that was a thing that hit today. And getting both different sauces was a lot of fun. The potato, potato, LAs, again, super consistent, well fried. And I got a bean burrito that was better than basically everything else I had the previous day. So I think just kind of keeping it simple there is the right protocol, which is the case for a lot of change.

This is pathetic. Nick was juicing for this review. Taco John's is so bad he had to take steroids and go back and eat it. Nick's on trend. So my friend did text me and say to me, the breakfast burrito was what you really need to look out for at Taco John. Is that true or false? Guys, we can't go to that, but this is sanity.

Ridiculous. I was also, we met the Alex's at the New Hope location, episode four. I also met Ben at the Skyway location. Ben gave me two bullet points here. First off, made a point of telling me that his wife was not coming to the show. And also added, I'm paraphrasing here. a concert at the same time. I talked about my issues with navigating the Skyway and he said, I'm paraphrasing, the

Skyway is a failure of urban design. Interesting hot take. Wow. But this particular, the second visit, I will say, gave my score an extra half fork, and we'll see how this affects things. We'll see how this affects things right now. So Carl, Mitch, you know the drill, we're going to each go down the line. Give us our final thoughts on Taco John's

and end by giving it a fork score. Carl Tart to my left. We'll begin with you. Okay. Now I say this a lot. I did not come here to pander to you. As I sit here in my Carl Tart hat, and my juicy Lucy T shirt. I bought this at the stadium by the way I watched a game last year. Huh, how about Bucsden, huh?

With that being said, five times I will yell that this shit was 2.8 stars. Wow. Sports, sports, sports, sports. 2.8, sports. Wow. I'm sorry, y'all. It just, God damn, that beef tasted like plastic. And now we have two. Can we talk about Del Taco for a second? And that beef tasted like plastic.

And now we have two, can we talk about Del Taco for a second? Mitch Carl, I was gonna get to that. You were? Yes. But we can't, we absolutely can do that now. Because no, no, no, please, because you, I have this in my notes, because you asked me a question at the restaurant, at Taco Johns. How does this, you're from Southern California.

How does this compare to Del Taco? And obviously Taco Bell also from Southern California, but it's not really quite a one-to-one comparison because Taco Bell is international, Del Taco, also like Taco John's is regional. But you ask me that question, and you could not have known what a softball pitch underhand over the center of the plate that was for me,

because in anticipation of going to Taco John's, I went to Del Taco on Wednesday. And anticipated what I was ordered. That's bullshit. From Taco John's and got a head-to-head listing. Natalie, I have to go do research. I'm going to fucking Del Taco. You go every week.

There is actually like a Del Taco right next to to my like the hospital where I won't go to so I went to the pharmacy to pick up my medication. Oh but I'll nick stays at the hospital. Fucking love the hospital. I went to the pharmacy and then went straight from the pharmacy to deltaco. But Carl yes your thoughts on delt, because I will get to mine. My thoughts on Del Taco are, it is inferior to Taco Bell. With that being said, it is so much better than,

wow, so. Now, one thing that Del Taco and Taco John's having common is that I do believe that the beef should be seasoned more. Sure. The beef, guys, stop stop eat, what the fuck? It like it... That means you're not gonna let me eat. Not your cheese!

Stop saying not your cheese over and over again. Silence. I told you what I ate already, lady. We talked about it for the past 45 minutes. I liked the nacho cheese. If the nacho cheese did not exist, the score would have been much lower. If the Mexican donut bites did not exist, I would have came out here farted right there and walked backstage.

I told you I liked the stuffed taco. The stuffed taco was a decent experience. I had to put so much shit on it. So much of that taco sauce. That was not hot. That shit was, it wasn't, it was not nothing. I'm giving it 2.8 forks. Decent score.

And that is what it is My thoughts the chicken tacos. Yes at Del Taco. Yes, are really fucking good. Those are great this The crinkle cut fries versus the potato Olaes. Uh-oh. I'll give it to the Olaes. Oh Give me that that was close. That's a fun treat To have we got a seasoned one. We asked for two seasoned ones. They only brought one seasoned out. Couldn't tell.

So that means it. I'm going to stick to my score of 2.8 forks. Wow. Good score. Mitch, give us your thoughts. Give us your forks score. I'm going to need to be for a second. I'll be right back. Oh, OK. Well, I just is thoughts. Give us your four score. I'm gonna need to be for a second. We are back.

Oh, okay, Wags is leaving. Okay, great. Great. Sure. All right, for my review, he's fucking dead. My show now. 1969. The guy came in on a horse.

Some of love. Some of love. Charles Manson was killing people. My dad was born. Hmm, Mitch. Fuck you! It's pretty good impression of you, you missed it. Especially the last part.

To me Taco John's is like if Del at the end of Boogie Night's in the donut shop where the guy gets killed. You know what I'm talking about? Yes. And what's his name takes the bag of money? Don Cheetle. Don Cheetle takes the money of money. Don Cheetle. Yeah. That's the aesthetic in there.

Put up like a couch, cut out or something like put a poster on the wall. Bring the devil with a sombrero back. That was fun. Give us anything in there. It was dreary. There was just one napkin machine which was, I had never seen it before, automated, an automated napkin machine that was like, I'm like, and four napkins would come out and I was like,

that's kind of cool. And then I look back at the restaurant and I'm like, ooh. Man, I love to kiss ass more than anybody. I'd kiss everyone in here as ass. I would do it every individual ass. Everybody, turn around and put your ass this out. Dear God, don't do that.

Yeah, some of y'all been eating taco jams. There was things that I loved about Taco John's and I could see myself being a real piece of shit like you guys are neat and it'll all on. And so I'm gonna go 3.254 because I did. I enjoyed it. I'm sorry. I like everything. I like the Olaes. The Olaes are great. Olaes were great. And I mentioned that the Skyway visit today gave an extra half forks.

The Olaes by themselves are in this chain of full fork. Like that's what a great side they are. They're outstanding, they elevated everything around them. They're great. Here's the thing. Mexican food gets a little sloppy. You get some stuff to dip that's maybe not the nacho cheese or the sour cream, just some general leavings.

You can do that with the O'Lays. They work out just fine. They're fun little discs of potatoes. I have a blast with them. I eat them all the time. They're readily available in LA. Let's talk about the Del Taco head to head. Because, like we were saying, both regional chains both certainly a notch below Taco Bell in terms of

prominence though I have a personal fan of for Del Taco that it realizes based heavily in nostalgia both founded by white people The founder of Del Taco didn't realize he was naming his chain of the Taco So it's hardly a more authentic version, but I did get a head-to-head comparison. Hard shell taco, point del taco, soft shell taco, point del taco, chicken taco. Boy, I love those chicken tacos from Del Taco. I think they're a lot of fun,

but I do think the fried chicken taco texture gave it to Taco John's. Yeah! Burrito del Taco in a walk. Case to deal, del taco, come on. Sauce? Are you kidding me with the taco John's sauces? They need, here's what they need. They need a third and possibly a fourth sauce

because that's what Taco Bell did. They just kept adding sauces. Del Taco has three sauces. You know, you're not gonna, the del scorch was not working for you, go up to the Del inferno. I would love to have a third sauce from Taco Johns. They haven't done it yet apparently,

at least the locations we went to. So that's a Del Taco win drinks. We haven't touched on this. Taco Johns is a diet mountain dude. Taco Johns is a Pepsi chain. Look, we were a Pepsi family growing up, but I'd rather have a Coke fountain anytime. The starry was just a better fountain at Del Taco. Desserts, who gives this shit? This is not why I go there.

Potatoes versus crinkle cut fries. I agree with Carl, it is the Oles. I do like the crinkle cut fries, but they are pretty inconsistent and often not. I don't mind the story. But this one, there's just a better fountain at Del Taco. Desserts, who gives this shit? This is not why I go there. Potatoes versus crinkle cut fries. I agree with Carl, it is the Oles.

I do like the crinkle cut fries, but they are pretty inconsistent and oftentimes not well seasoned. So where does that land me? I think I'm gonna give Taco John's a score with its boost in the potato LAs and a half fork from this morning's visit of two and a half forks.

Wow. So there we go. We've been to Taco John's. You can stop bothering us. What's up everybody? It's your boy the spoon man. Wags, the most important people in my life, I don't really people, my cats, Wally and Irma, are dining like royalty things to our next sponsor,

Smalls. You're a listener of the show, you know, that Mitch's cats just can't handle, life without Smalls. That's right, Wags. Smalls cat food is protein packed and made with preservative free ingredients you'd find in your fridge and it's delivered right to your door.

Wags, do you remember how stinky and smelly my old cat food was? I can answer that in two letters, PU. Yeah, I don't want PUs, I want meows. And with my old sticky food, I was getting PUs. It's right. I used to leave the house smelling like cat food. I come to the studio. It's stink like cat food.

Now you can finally open a packet of cat food and not get nauseous. Yeah, actually, and I do too, recognize the ingredients in a packet of smalls food. Yep. Smalls food was started back in 2017 by a couple of guys, homecooking cat food and small batches for their friends. A few short years later, they've served millions of meals to hundreds of thousands of cats around the world. Wow. After making the switch to smalls, cat owners are seeing some big improvements in their cats. 78% of cat owners reported their cats had shinier and softer fur and 90% reported overall health improvements. Wags, Wally numbers, coats, they're so soft and smooth. I grab them, they pop out of my hands.

Be careful. Luckily, they always land on their feet. The team at Smalls is so confident your cat will love their product that you can try at risk-free. That means they will refund you if your cat won't eat their food. Smalls is the food I give my cats. So if you want to give it a try, head to smalls.com

Oh, what happened? We were driving the guy who was coming, he had a trailer, like one of those steel trailers that pulls like a lawn mower and stuff like that. And that shit just started going like this.

And we were standing on the corner, waiting for it to Uber. And the first Uber that we tried to do cancel, if we had a guy in that Uberber, it would have never happened. But that uber canceled. When this guy comes burrowing around the corner, being like, there, it's like, oh, yeah! Bad, bad, bad, bad. And I pulled out my gun, I started shooting that,

but they didn't do anything. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. It almost fucking detached and took us out. It was final destination. That's wild. He had to pull over right on the other side of the play and reattach it. Yeah.

If I'd come with you, we'd all be dead. I'd almost scare the juicy Lucy out of him out. Almost out of juicy, juicy. All right. We're going long. We got to curfew and we got a segment to do. Hey, we got some sweet treats from local creamery, Minnesota Dairy Lab. It's SnackerWack, land of 10,000 Licks edition.

And here's Emma Hirdbreak bringing out some ice cream. Wow, 10,000 Licks edition. That's great. I have a note in my outline to read paper and pocket. So that's what I'm going to do now. And we can start distributing these. Let me get this out of and we'll- So we canceled the tour during COVID.

And now Wigar has a cough and is taking steroids and we're sharing ice cream. Oh, thank you, Emma. We don't need to share- Oh, Jesus Christ. Jesus. We were also just handed, I don't know what the fuck this is. Dutch crunch chips.

Okay, we're gonna do the ice cream. Let me read this context. Well, Emma's distributing these. Emma would bring everybody. Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!

Minnesota dairy lab makes small batch handcraft ice cream in sorbet. We try to cover a broad spectrum from approachable classics like our melted heath bar to more creative flavors like brown butter rosemary and cogey caramel raspberry. Home by chef Phil Farzanigan, young noodles on the doascord. Are you here Phil? Thanks Phil. Thanks for the ice cream.

Minnesota Dairy Lab was born through curiosity and experimentation and takes a food science perspective to making ice cream. 2023 is a big year for the dairy lab. We started doing local events with our full service ice cream cart are in 11 restaurants and counting. Thanks Carl. Have multiple retail locations in the metro area and

got tapped to make several flavors for the state fair which is a big deal in Minnesota including the classic sweet corn so here's the flavors we have here we have rhubarb cheesecake vanilla 10,000 grand and baklava you said you said rhubarb cheesecake and the crowd went up. Ooh. They're excited by dairy. What do you, Carl, what are you tasting right now? This rhubarb cheesecake.

Yeah. What shit is hitting? Wow. Shout out to the St. Paul Central football. Thank you so much by the way to both Emma and Phil. I had to step off. Paul Central football. Thank you so much, by the way, to both Emma and Phil. I had to step off stage for a second, because I guess the order was sent to me and I had to sign for it. So, it was a whole thing, yeah.

Yeah, exactly. That's how Minnesota treats their desserts. It's like, it has to be like a bank transaction. So I go back there and I'm like signing the documents and the guy asked for my ID. And I'm like, here you go, you can see it. And he's looking at and he's like, and what's your full legal name?

And I look at this some of the bitch in the eyes. And I say, you know me as the burger boy, Nick Wiger, but my full legal name is Nicholas Frank Wiger, and sometimes I go by Frank. Which means it's time to look into this week in Hot Dog News, and another edition of Let Me Be Frank. Hot Dog Simmer in the City, Greater My Grill, Getting Greasy and Gritty, Toastbun, Don't It Looks Pretty, Suckin' On A Dog Like You're Suckin' On A Teddy, Puckin' Bean, Sausages and Long Bread, Rollin' On A Rollin' Grill, Muffin' At Relish! One bite, It's Different World, Swamp Dog Fights With A Girl,

Munch on, Munch on, and jump all night, just by the parts it'll be your right that taste, when the casing has snapped, later that day, you'll for sure have to nap as it simmers, in the city, like your sucking, on a titty. You ain't nothing but a hot dog, grind all time, you ain't nothing but a hot dog, crying all the time. Just a nether but a burger but you ain't no longer mine.

Well they said you were sandwich, well that was just a lie. They said you were sandwich, well that was just a lie. You're just a bond around a wiener, so you sure don't qualify. Run away Frank, never coming back Wrong stake on a bun way track Feel like I should be eating meat logs Somehow I'm neither hot nor dog Run away Frank never coming back Run away Frank and testin' all the time Run away Frank burning in my soul Run away Frank blew out my hole So, that was Mrs. Londardard on the grill in there, huh? And I guess that was your accomplice in the deep fryer?

And those three hot dogs and brainers? And for what? For a little bit of mustard? There's more to life than a little bit of mustard, you know? Don't you know of that? And here you are. And it's a beautiful Frank. Well, I just don't understand it. That was Frank Goh. I call this cream street. Yeah. What? I'm going to tell you dog.

She'll. Baccholava goes fucking insane. That's it. It's good. That's my favorite one. Like, she's like rhubarb. She's like rhubarb is really good. Vanilla is very good. I didn't try it 10,000. Oh, 10,000 grand is great. They're all snacks for me. These are all delicious. Yeah. Yeah. Buccovaz. Buccovaz is really good.

Special shout out to my cousin John and his wife Leah, children Hazel who's going to tarotless swift and They're and they're son Sam who lent me this hat Great hat I'm trying to find what he said I was like because we were afraid because he's a child Yes, and we're gonna put the hat on me Right and it just seemed like it would're going to put the hat on me. Right. And it just seemed like it would be the end of the hat. Yeah.

It's like putting a condom over a gumball machine. LAUGHTER My cousin, John, said, Sam has a giant Irish squash. Oh, there you go, but he's 12 So Mitch Mitch I've gone ahead and searched for hot dog news while we're having these these sweet treats And in my preferred search engine Microsoft Bing here's a story I got Is this the best way to grill a hot dog the internet thinks so? This is by Catherine Martinco on Yahoo Life. A little knife action makes a big difference.

Here is a fun little kitchen trick that will completely change your summer grilling game. Try cutting plain old hot dogs into a spiral or spiralizing them to make them tasteier, larger, crispier, cuter, and even more practical to eat. How about that? You ever do a spiral cut hot dog? Now they'll do that sometimes. A lot of fun.

Changes the texture too much for me. Oh, it can be great though. You have a more surface area for grilling. How do you feel about this, Carl? I heard it helps hold more toppings. That's true too. That's true too. Okay. All right, I like that.

You can really love those bad boys up. You got anything on Google Mitch? Hmm. Weiner King's launches a hot dog pontoon boat. Wow. This is a great one. This is from an hour ago. This is Breaking Shoes.

Wow. Firefighters use hot dogs to rescue actual dog that fell into storm drain. Wow. Wow. dog that fell into storm drain. Wow, wow. That's how you got me out on stage tonight. Uh, this one's from WQRF Rockford. Here's Wook serves of the best hot dogs in Rockford according to Yelp. This is Rockford, Illinois. This is is not helpful to anyone here. How far has that from here?

What chili is to winter, the hot dog is to summer. Hot dogs will be forever linked with a baseball and American culture. With that in mind, we wonder who has the best hot dog in the rockford area? Well, if you are going, wait. Whoever wrote this article is really fun and in. To find out, we turned to Yelp. So this is just an aggregation of the Yelp listings in Rockford, Illinois. Wow, wikes, this is big.

Yeah, and I wonder what everyone here thinks. This is a, you know, the Midwesterners should have an opinion on this. Yes. Fourth of July food preferences are hot dogs or hamburgers more popular. Wow. I think burgers. You think burgers?

I think burgers are more popular. I go, I'm team dog. I'd rather have a dog. But I think burgers are probably more popular than the aggregate. You're burger boy. Yeah, I've been saying in that context, I'd rather have a hot dog.

I don't have to only eat burgers to be the burger, but I'm gonna be fucking wimpy from Popeye, even though I'm sharing a stage with Pluto. What? Mm. By the way, I'm not trying to be rude to the chef who brought us these ice creams. I'm just a little bit worried about contagion, which why I'm not tasting these be rude to the chef who brought us these ice creams. I'm just a little bit worried about contagion, which why I'm not tasting these from these shared.

They're fantastic. They look great. They're really good. I guess I can take an individual spoonful. Yeah. Give me, let me get a spoonful of something. All right. I got a fun one, but it's a mistake.

Hot dogs and cool cats, and then it's just a picture of a cat and a dog. That's pretty good, bud. Oh, that's great. They're pretty good. We can't top that. Oh, thanks, buddy. Yeah, I don't think we can top it. That's a good one to go out of. Like always. It's a lot of build up to bullshit, wags, but it's over. Ooh, I like that a lot. Which one was that? Esbaclava. Nice floral notes, great texture. Fantastic crunch. And then the cream itself.

Ooh, it's just how I like it. Jesus Christ, right, let's end this segment. That's great, that's really nice. Eat the chips. All right, let's eat the chips, why not? Look, while we do this. These are Dutch crunch onion and Halapino and Cheddar. You guys like Dutch Crunch, it seems.

Ooh, they got a strong smell. All right, this is anything like Taco John's. He's the phobia. I don't like when Mitch chooses into the microphone. Minnesota, you make a damn fine chip. Wow, those are two snacks. I hope this same transaction happened at Taylor Swift tonight. Someone just threw some bags of Dutch Crunch on stage.

It's like I had fuck it, pop them open. You guys have good food, what the fuck were you thinking? Why did you send us to this place? I have to think a big part of it is just like, it's so omnipresent and iconic and you probably grew up having it and whether you like it or not, it's just like you feel like the doughboy should cover it to be comprehensive. I'm glad we covered it.

I'm glad we went to Taco John. I am glad I got to say I've eaten that Taco John. Yes. Alright, that was let me be Frank's last land of a thousand licks edition. Just like a restaurant bag or a feedback, let's open the feedback. So we're going to bring a few questioners up here. Emma. Hello.

Welcome back, Emma everyone. Hi. Alright, I got Hi. Hi. Hi. All right, I got Sonia D. Aaron C. Intrever A. If you want to come meet me right here. Go ahead and make your way up. Someone was right in the front row. Sitting next to the Alex's.

Are you an Alex plus one? No, unfortunately I'm not. I brought my husband who used to work at In and Out. Lee Dex is the one of the Alex my husband who used to work in and out Lee Yeah, you to work in and out wow thank you for your service So I'm from San Diego hence the California burrito wow Lolitas my kite my high school is next to a Lolitas, okay, wow So my question is in Minnesota. We have the Minnesota State Fair every year, the Princess K on the Milky Way

gets her head carved in butter. She sits in this cold refrigerator that spins around, and we all watch her in her court, and this guy or gal carves her head out of butter. Which food would you like your head carved out of? Ah! Hi! You know what?

God bless this place. You guys are winning me over in the home stretch. Great question. Fantastic question. Turkey and Dresden. I think a big rotating spit of Schwarma would be pretty fun. Nick, I was going to say Schwarma. You should take that one because you you're the Mediterranean food guy. I also made a joke last night about the Mayo Clinic, what you roasted me with.

That's right, someone else in the Mayo Clinic, agroced. Hmm, but parallel thinking, they call that. Oh, interesting, thanks. Fucking asshole, I do comedy. Fucking asshole. I do comedy. Hmm. You already said gravy, huh? Gravy's good. So freeze up some gravy and then carve it up.

What's nicest? I'm here to be gravy. Haha. What's interesting about you, Mitch, is that you carve mere carls heads out of your head. You know what? A potato, a big potato. Potato would be great. Oh my god, a potato, a metal appropriate.

And then you could deprive my head. For a proud Irish lad. Bronze me up a little bit. That sounds nice. So green and nacho team. That's a great question. Thank you for the best question we've ever gotten at a life feedback. Yeah, that was great.

Hi, hi. What's your name? What's your question? Sonia. Hi Sonia. Hello. My husband introduced me to your podcast. Wow. Our honeymoon road trip in 2017. Oh my god. Jesus Christ. We were supposed to spend our third anniversary was on June 17th, 2020. Your live show that got canceled, COVID. Oh, my God. Here we are.

On the road to be like, you married me now. You got to stay with me now. Yeah. It worked. We're still married six years later. Our anniversary was last weekend. Here we are. We're going to be in the next three.

How exciting. So, OK, in the name of love, happy Pride Month, if you had to eat a food from one color group for like a whole month, what would it be? What would the color be? Wow. One color food. That's a good question.

This is challenging. I mean, I feel like brown. There's so many foods that generally fall under brown. No, he's pandering. He's wearing his car all-todd hat. I go brown, give me brown. Yeah, I think brown is the answer. Burgers, it gives you the most,

buns and all kinds of fries. Things like beans, you know, just to mix it up, you're gonna stew chili, you're gonna get at a certain point. Yeah, I feel like you're gonna talk to you, you're like, grill that thing up, all right, it's brown, I can eat it. Yeah.

But it depends on how much leeway you're giving to the color spectrum. Coca-Cola? Yeah. Why, because it's brown. I think brown is the answer. But what's like the, what's the next one? Like, is it red?

Do you have to use your head? You're thinking Apple. You're thinking Apple, but then once you bite the Apple, you go, oh, you're gonna, you're gonna, you can only have the skin, you're gonna slurp the skin off. You can only have the outside. You can only have the skin of the Apple. So if it's, if a food is made of different colors,

you can't have, like, you can't have like, you can't have like, you can't have like meat balls and red sauce and say that's a red food. I might be moving towards gray. Gray is pretty good. Or white, like you can have potatoes, rice, white beans, white meat, chicken without the skin. Yeah, that's true.

Just worry about like dietary fiber with some of these. I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that.

I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that.

I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that. blue. Blue is a challenge. Sand blue food. There isn't enough blue. That's that one's like impossible. I think you could make green work. It would get a little boring, but I think you could do it.

What did you, I'm not gonna make a fucking hot salad. It's a bit on the show. It's okay. I don't realize. He's taking steroids. I would chill out if I were you in the crowd. Happy Pride and happy Taylor Swift. What a crazy weekend for us to come crazy weekend. I mean I possibly a bad weekend for us to be here, but we have one more question. Thanks for everyone for coming out

Hello, hi, what's your name? What's your question? My name is Trevor. Hi Trevor. I'm a driver So my alpha wife is a manager, anyone else? She's a... Everyone else. So she's a manager of an R&D scientist team at a certain local food company. Wow! Dear God.

It's got like a general milzy vibe. I can't say what it is. Okay. So, during the pandemic, I will legitimately give your thoughts on certain things that her team has made and developed. Wow! I filtered out like an hour of come talk before it went to the corporate. But so, now that you know the things that you say do actually have a direct line to the corporate. But so now that you know the things that you say do actually have a direct line to the people that make them an event

like the cool stuff, different chains do, what would you, what new items do you want to see on menus? You got a, on any menu are we talking specifically in the serial sort of realm? No, no, no, no, she works in specifically fast food, like fast food. Yeah, generally, okay. So any chain, any menu I can ask what you do for a living?

I'm a dad and a stand-up comedian. So typical doughboys. I love it. I eat I mean, I can't say what it is, but. It looks like you brought that tall boy with you. Hell yeah, but my baby. My life, Nick relax. We're in a, okay, we're in a golden age, I feel like of subs. Like, I feel like the fast food sub has really been elevated. The issue is it's such a heavy meal, and I love it.

I like, look, I'll get a Jersey mic sandwich, I'll get a multiple times a week if I don't stop myself. But can we figure out, because a wrap isn't it, the issue with the wrap is it's just as many, Mitch, you know this, it's just as many carbs and calories as using bread. You might as well have the fucking sandwich. Sure.

Can we figure out some sort of solution that approximates sandwich? I don't know, like, all the sandwich ingredients in a bowl. I mean, like, like, something that, like, because lettuce wrap also isn't it. I don't know what it is, but we can figure it out. How do we wrap a sandwich to make it be not so bread-y? Oh!

Huh? What about like the, uh, they're yelling and answering, right you? I don't know. What are you yelling? Let us rap! Oh, let us rap. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You got your dumb song.

It's so late, I just got three. What's that, you got one? No, I just got a loud environment warning on my watch from people yelling lettuce wrap. from in here. Oh,

That's for people yelling lettuce wrap. I'll tell you what I do with all the fucking food scientists I send them to taco johns and figure out what the fuck's going on I Did pitch the donut salad. Oh, I thought it has legs. Oh hell yeah, I'd love to see donut salad on and then use them Where are we too hard on taco johns? Is that the issue? No? No way look there were there were plus side there were some plus sides Like we said that stuff was great and and and there were some good tunes in there and we heard some Bonnie right. It was nice. So in fact, one of those songs before everyone tried to

fucking make me do the lettuce wrap kind of inspired me a little bit, Wigz. Wow. And you know what? Maybe we have a little song for them. But you know what? We shouldn't sing it after I did the fucking lettuce wrap. But yeah, you know what? That Bonnie Rates playing inside Taco John's Y. He got my feet moving a little bit. Wow. They got my toes tappin'. People in many, they love their tacos, they got this one spot, it's overrated baby,
