Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a head gum podcast. Wow! Hey buddy, how you doing, Bedford? So as my iPad just locked on me here I I have not been doing intros if you listen to the podcast you're aware of this Because the WGA strike I've not been writing new intros. Yeah, thank you. Thank you for a little bit of applause for labor solidarity there. I've not been writing new intros for the show,
Starting point is 00:00:47 but because this is a show I wanted to do in intro. So what I've settled on for this tour and what I'm going to do tonight is I'm going to do an intro from another show. And I figured for the big Massachusetts show, the big Boston homecoming, I'm not my homecoming, but a homecoming of sorts. I bust out the intro from the original Lost 400th episode,
Starting point is 00:01:10 which will never be released. So this is the 400th episode intro, first recorded on April 7, 2023, and now deleted from our drop box. Okay, here we go. Thank you, Emma. 399 episodes. Hundreds of restaurants reviewed, snack-snarfed, drinks-drink, and toilets-tortured.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Dozens of live shows recorded in cities across North America and no other continent. Seven reviews of Taco Bell, with Taco Bell 7 releasing before Taco Bell 6 for some reason. Strained, themed October Port Mantos from Rock Dober Fest, to Rock Dober Bless, to Dog Dober Fest, to Yark Dober Chest. Mount Rushmore's covering categories ranging from diet sodas to anthropomorphic bees. Eight Munch Madness tournaments plus something called the Evan Susser Ice Cream Invitational. Through it all, we've gained memories and weight.
Starting point is 00:02:15 And now, after nearly eight years of continuous production, we reflect on the humble beginnings of this show, a pilot episode that began much like this one, with a lazily written stream of pseudo-prefundedy based largely on someone else's research. Shout out to Vinod who maintains the unofficial Doe Boys Wiki. But while reliving our podcast pod past, make us want to forego our future. This week, on the 400th episode of Doe Boys, we relist into the first episode of Doe Boys, we re-listen to the first episode of Doe Boys, Chili's. And this week on Doe Boys Live in Medford, Massachusetts,
Starting point is 00:02:50 Tasty Burger! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Come on! Go with the Doe Boys! Doe Boys! Doe Boys! Thank you.

This week's roast is courtesy of E&M. Let me introduce my co-host, a man who only needs three more days in his mom's house to reestablish Massachusetts residency. The Spoon Man Mike Mitchell. What's up, Bedford?
Starting point is 00:03:47 Oh boy. I'm hurting. You're hanging by a threat, I know. At least gastrointestinal. I brought some peptobizmong and drink it on stage to show that I am hurting. You're hanging by a threat, I know. At least gastrointestinal. I brought some peptobizmong and drink it on stage to show that I am hurting for real. I people would have believed you.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Yeah, that's true. I think you're lying. I make a show out of it, baby. That rose was sent in from Ian Mankah, who writes, Mankah rhymes with instant coffee brand Sankah. I didn't know what to say Sankah, so I had to look it up. I thought it was like Manga, but with instant coffee brand Sankha, I didn't know what to say Sankha, so I had to look it up. I thought it was like manga, but no, it's Sankha.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Mankha like Sankha. Great, I'm glad that my aunts and uncles are here. This is the show. Why is I had to take an Uber brown here tonight? Jesus Christ. Wouldn't that be nice? That's my nephew. Wouldn't that be nice if if there was an Uber Brown and they just do? We've talked about this. Yeah. Wait, we've talked about this before. Not this specific concept. But we talked about what our friend Marissa Vincent was talking about cars need toilets. Yes. I think there's like, I'm just saying, you have tummy troubles, you get an uber brown.
Starting point is 00:05:09 It pulls up and the AC is on full blast. And the driver's like, you're gonna be okay. They're playing like soft music. There's plastic on the seats. So there's not actually a toilet. There's not actually a waste of it. There's no toilet. This is a calming environment if you know you need to take a shit urgently.
Starting point is 00:05:27 I'm being realistic here. Got it. Yeah. They should do Uber Brown. A couple runs of shows in Boston. I'm gonna order Uber White, no one I'm saying. Jesus Christ! That's my nephew's friend. That's my nephew's friend. Why is we had a couple runs of shows in the city of Boston.
Starting point is 00:05:52 That's right. The city of Boston has had enough. Michelle Wu has pushed us to Medford. That actually brings me to a question I have in my outline for you, Mitch. What is Medford? question I have in my outline for you, Mitch, what is my- Myford. That's the criticism of them I hear from people who I hear criticize Michelle Wu. I've never heard you say the word governor before or mayor. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:21 She's mayor, by the way. Got it. I fucked up. You're fine. What is Medford? Good question. I saw a founded in the 1600s. That's pretty exciting.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Yeah. It is exciting. Yeah. But this is just like one of a collection, like there's just like a bunch of towns out here that all seem, you know, they're like Boston exerbs or suburbs or what have you. Like is Medford just Quincy?
Starting point is 00:06:52 Is Medford just Quincy? Well, they're kind of the same thing. I can't tell if Medford people are mad or if Quincy people are mad. I mean, look, I just, I can't do this anymore. I can't eat the way, I can't eat the way that we do. Last night, okay, this is where we're at a venue in New York and we put out a call for orders at like Emma got one, I got one, our guest of that show, Tammy, Sager got one, we all put in orders for salads. You know
Starting point is 00:07:24 what you did? You did not reply. You chose not to have a salad last night to mitigate some of the damage we're doing to our bodies with the eating we're having to do for this tour. I was napping. I was napping. But you could be proactive about these things
Starting point is 00:07:38 and be like, and like try to have some healthier more balanced choices. And we're trying to enable you to do that. You need to shut the fuck up. Oh. you're more balanced choices and we're trying to enable you to do that. You need to shut the fuck up. It feels like you know when a kid gets caught smoking and the old man is like you get to smoke the whole pack now teach you a lesson. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Smoke that whole pack and the kid's like I'll never smoke. I never want to smoke again. It's the same thing for us, but it took 40 years. And now I'm finally like, yeah, I can't do this anymore. The tasty burger, we got off the train, I went to the bathroom and then I had a double tasty burger. That's right. There were apples backstage. I had an apple.
Starting point is 00:08:20 You could have had an apple. You talked about it. By the way, you tried to get me to get a have a napal. In honor of Ted Kaczynski, the Unibomber, Wags and I are going to bomb the entire show. We bomb and left and right. That's right. Rest in peace to the Unibomber. All right, P.
Starting point is 00:08:42 I mean, on some level, write about a lot of things, but maybe we disagree with his methods. Okay. You know, certainly was right to be cautious about the advancement of technology and us not being, you know, aware of its repercussions. I style icon to you. Why does it's been really smoky in Boston? It's been really smoky in Boston. Yeah, I was thankfully we dodged that bad air but I saw that it was happening. You know how smoky and Boston it was? How smokey, Mitch.
Starting point is 00:09:27 This last week when the Red Sox won their game at Fenway Park, instead of playing, I love that dirty water. They played, I love that smokey air. Mitch has put his head in his hands. I'm not sure if I can do it. I'm not sure if I can do it. I'm not sure if I can do it. I'm not sure if I can do it. I'm not sure if I can do it. I'm not sure if I can do it. I'm not sure if I can do it. I'm not sure if I can do it.
Starting point is 00:09:56 I'm not sure if I can do it. I'm not sure if I can do it. I'm not sure if I can do it. I'm not sure if I can do it. I'm not sure if I can do it. I'm not sure if I can do it. So I started off every live show with a joke that intentionally does bad. And I was, yeah, that's kind of, that's going to, we start the first 15 minutes of every show. And tonight I was afraid to say because there are loved ones in the audience that are going to, yeah, they don't know what this is. Well, okay, so in, so in DC, what was your DC punchline? It was so smoky outside. It was so smoky. I went to the Lincoln Memorial.
Starting point is 00:10:26 That's right. And the seat was empty. And then, and so you said that one in DC and then you also said it last night in New York City and then New York City, you added a New York City version of the joke. Yeah, which I don't even remember it. You, well, you, I, there's Lady Liberty there famously.
Starting point is 00:10:44 Oh, yes. A painter or visit. Yeah, it was so, you did. There's Lady Liberty there famously. Oh, yes. Peter, a visit. Yeah, it was so, it was so smoking New York City. I went to the Statue of Liberty. And Lady Liberty was flipping off Canada. See, there, there, there was an also an alt, which was like Lady Liberty was wearing an N95. Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Which I thought played better. Because it was your punch. No, I'm not claiming it. I'm just saying like, you know, I'm wearing doughboys merch tonight, Waikes. Check out birdfuck.com, birdfuck.com exclusive provider of doughboys merchandise via kinship goods.
Starting point is 00:11:20 I was going to wear my five forks, but I wore the Celtic sack, because I love the Celtics still Don't trade Jalen Brown don't trade Tatum. I love them both. I hope they retire Celtics. It's the truth Wow in other exciting news Doeboys has been acquired by Liv golf Works I live about that. Yeah, very fun My mom we were talking about Liv Golf. And my mom was like, your dad, if he was live, he'd be so disappointed about the PGA and this.
Starting point is 00:11:54 And I was like, what if Saudi Arabia offered doughboys $10 million and she's like, take the money. Which we talked about a backstage. $10 million and she's like, take the money. What would be worth for us to be bought out by Saudi Arabia? The thing is, it's easier to say no to a hypothetical, but I think that there isn't a number for me. But it's easy to say as a hypothetical. But I think the more complicated thing is like, let's say that what if Saudi Arabia acquired Patreon,
Starting point is 00:12:34 which is our primary source of revenue? Yeah, okay, that becomes a thing of like, okay, are we gonna move payment platforms or are we just going to accept in the same way that we all accept that Amazon Web Services is so pervasive that you just can't do commerce on the internet without using Amazon Web Services, there's no way to extricate yourself from this because of how insidious global capitalism is.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Do we start to rationalize it that way? You know what? We're going to forgo our Patreon money. We're going to figure something else out. That's a more difficult thing for me to solve. But as far as them, Saudi Arabia saying, like to buy doughboys media and have you come to Riyadh and review the wall burgers there That is easier for me to just say a hard no Regret all this
Starting point is 00:13:19 Are you gonna take that Pepto Bismol? Yeah, we'll relax. I'll do it Shad of Pepto,ol? Yeah, we'll relax, I'll do it. Shot of Pepto, shot of Cider. Wow. Uh, what else, wise? Oh, I have some great news. This is very fun. You're just going down your notes app. This is like a fucking lazy Larry King column.
Starting point is 00:13:34 What is? Yeah, you want to do heavy, have you heard this? Have you heard about this? There is a head shot of Leno backstage. There is a head shot. You're apparently played here in 2019. How exciting is that?
Starting point is 00:13:44 Was anyone to hear it? Leno in 2019? No. Yeah, how are we there? Up there in the balcony. Hey, all right. How's everybody up there in the balcony tonight? I don't think the balcony's seated.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Yeah. I think they closed the balcony. Doe boys, you'll rope it off. There's gonna be jumpers. The hosts. This is good news here. This is very fun news. You hear about this? We went to Grace Papaya yesterday.
Starting point is 00:14:28 That's right. This is true. New York City. And this should make us proud. As of this morning, Grace Papaya ran out of hot dogs. Someone went there this morning, they're like, we sold out. We're waiting on a delivery. They're gone.
Starting point is 00:14:44 The doughboys, listeners, ate them out of hot dogs. It's apparently had some effect. Maybe it did. It folks. Was anyone at the New York show? And you still decided to come to this show. That's what amazes me. Yeah. What's going on? You saw what happened last night. It sucked. Sunk cost fallacy. That's what's going on? You saw what happened last night. It sucked. Sunk cost fallacy, that's what's going on. Already paid for a train ticket in a hotel room. I can't fuck it. I can't call. You could do anything else.

I'm a journalist. I was going to shake my pants the entire time I was backstage. You know this. I saw what you're up to back there. You're goofing off. Having fun with your friends. I'm just gonna send it to me.
Starting point is 00:18:01 You got something else in your notes app? Come on, vamp a little spoon, man. I got nothing else. I'll say this, we were a tasty burger. Uh-huh. And this is a real doughboys experience. There was doughboys listeners in his back. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:13 There were doughboys listeners next to us. That's right. And you started, you weren't talking to them, but you started talking about how you want to taste human flesh. I didn't bring that up. It was brought up and I confirmed it. Yeah. I just looked over.
Starting point is 00:18:33 I saw the dough, the people who come to our show tonight, they're here somewhere. Yeah. All right, there we go. Lovely meeting you. And you're like, yeah, it's like much sweeter. The meat's supposed to be really sweet. That's what I was saying. One of our guests was saying, you want to have human flesh right?
Starting point is 00:18:48 Like, I was like, well, I don't know if I want to have it, but I've heard it's the sweetest meat of all. But then I also added the context of that I think a lot of times when someone's in the situation where they have to eat human flesh, they're probably so famished that it's like, oh, this is my salvation, whatever I'm eating right now. So probably taste better. It's like when you're on a cleanse and then you have, oh, I'm gonna have some romaine lettuce after this cleanse and this lettuce tastes amazing.
Starting point is 00:19:12 It's the same sort of principle. Yeah, it's just human flesh instead. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. All right, that makes sense. Hey, doboys, can you hear a-kay, kenda in the dough scored? Kendo?
Starting point is 00:19:25 Yeah, fuck. If you're looking for some great Boston pizza besides Regina, I recommend city slickers in Somerville. Have a good show. Endorsement for city slickers, best Kenny Gray. Thank you, Kenny Gray. All right. All right, Wags, I think we've wasted people's times.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Grace Papaya last night, Kenny Gray tonight, I'm telling you, America has Gray Man fever. Oh my God. Everyone everywhere is talking about Netflix as the Gray Man. It's seeped into our subconscious collectively. It's all we can think about. It's a pop culture icon of 2023, the Gray Man. I have to describe to my mom what Gray Man is later tonight. No one knows what Gray Man is.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Stop bringing up Gray Man every city we go to. Michael, I've seen the Gray Man. She's seen the Gray Man. We've all seen the Gray Man. Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, from the Russo brothers, the crew, the minds behind the Avengers franchise. How could you not have missed the Gray man, it's on Netflix, the biggest streaming service.
Starting point is 00:20:27 We're all watching the gray man, we're talking about it all the time. You're right, because we want to graze papaya, yes. Right. Because any gray emailed us. I'm telling you, country has gray man fever. It's true. It's seeping it everywhere. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Good, good, good. Introduce our damn guests. We're not funny. And they are great. I think you're funny, Mitch. Oh god damn it. I think you're one of the funniest guys I know. And you know who else thinks that the people of Medford. I I think you're one of the funniest guys I know why it's genuine. You're a very funny man. And you know who else is funny.
Starting point is 00:21:09 I guess. I guess. Let's introduce them. Please welcome to the stage, Zach Cherry and Mike Hanford. I'm a man. Walk out music courtesy of Seagulls. Seagulls.bandcamp.com. Zach, Mike, thank you both for joining us here in Medford. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Thanks for having us. Hi, everybody. Ooh, there is zero people in the balcony. No one up there. No one up there. I want to start here because hand man, I know you spend a little bit of time in Boston. I imagine you have. I mean earlier today, I was saying asking Mookie. I was like, what are all the neighborhoods here? I don't know any of these places. But I've been here before. There's a Medford. We're just are all the neighborhoods here? I don't know any of these places. I've seen it. But I've been here before. There's a Medford. We're just learning that.
Starting point is 00:22:07 But Zach, I don't know if you've spent much time here in Boston. A little bit. Just a little bit. We're dying to come back. We are dying to come back. I've been here a couple of times. Yeah, I think I went on a duck boat tour one time. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Wow. That was cool. Quack, quack. Do you think that that it was the balcony a duck boat tour one time. Hell yeah. Yeah. Wow. That was cool. Quack, quack. Do you think that that it was the balcony was a last minute decision by the theater when they saw Doe Voice fans lumbering up the stairs? No way this thing.
Starting point is 00:22:36 This thing's going to fucking give. We got to close this off. Oh, come on. We got fat fans. We got fat fans. We got fat hosts. You got some fat guests. Your hand man, any Boston memories. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:22:57 The Boston memories. I don't really, I said something. I never really, oh, I've been here before. And in one time when I was a kid I was walking by Daniel Yes, yeah, did you call it wait? Did you call it? Thanuel or fan you all I was calling it
Starting point is 00:23:12 Daniel like if the name was nothing you without the end that Daniel L Jackson Hall Daniel Jackson Hall Well, I was a little kid and I... You were right, you were. This is a dumb story.
Starting point is 00:23:27 I almost got hit by a motorcycle, but I... Oh my God! I was supposed to be crossing the road with my parents, and I went ahead and a motorcycle stopped really short, and they revbed his engines. Scared me. Yeah, you could say I've had some pretty good times here in Boston. Later, you bought a motorcycle. Remember here in Boston Later you bought a motorcycle remember that little period of motorcycle. I bought a motorcycle. Yeah
Starting point is 00:23:50 It was the engine was so small you couldn't take it on the freeway like that's how Small it was and I never learned how to drive it and when I bought it on Craigslist I had a friend come out with me to Santa Monica and drive it home for me and I was always too scared to drive it. And it just turned into dust. Nice purchase. Yeah. 1,400 bucks down the drain.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Never told my parents. Mrs. Mitchell, don't you, if you ever have contact with them. Yeah, ma, I don't. Don't tell. I'm hampered. I have a Boston memory for you. Hanford came out from my 40th birthday just recently. That's right. You mentioned that.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Yeah. That was great. My surprise party. And he was fucking killing. Left and right. My sister and her friends. You were killing. You were I was having a, yeah, it's having a good time. We were also happy to see you age. So we really let it loose. Uh, yeah, we had your sister Courtney and her friend whose name was Mary Ann. Mary Ann, yeah, she was great. And we were talking about starting our own podcast. It was, yeah, I hated this. No, at the time, he said it was a brilliant idea. It would be me, the host, and they come on and talk about Quincy Gossip. And I just just mediate and ask like questions
Starting point is 00:25:09 like, oh yeah, so who was Skidzie? Was he like a cool guy? Did he smoke a lot of weed or was he like an athlete? Oh, he smoked weed. Okay, cool. Continue. Oh, so like old Quincy Gossip. Yeah, like people from I I guess, when they went to high school. Right, okay. So we'd be talking old Quincy Gossip. It could catch on. It could be just like... It could have just enough of that it factor.
Starting point is 00:25:34 I do like the idea. Yeah, it's kind of new too. Let's talk about another method of transportation. You talked about motorcycles earlier. We rode the Chuchu up from New York City. I had a great time. I'm curious. You did?
Starting point is 00:25:48 You had a blast. The train was stopped for an hour. That was fine. You liked that part of it? The equivalent on a freeway is you feel trapped, right? Like if you're like stuck in your car and you're stuck in traffic, that's worse. If you're in an airplane and like you're circling,
Starting point is 00:26:03 you're terrified because you think you're going to die or you're on the tarmac or you're on the tarmac and then you're similarly trapped on a train it's like this fine is all right we weren't going anywhere I know but I'm saying like like like like oh it's the best it's an in-game means the best version of that in-game means what I was saying is like I really enjoyed that ride and I like that about the East Coast we took the train from DC into New York. We took the train from New York into Boston. Joe Baton.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Just like old Joe Baton. Ha ha ha ha ha. Yes, and yes, I am unveiling that impression tonight. That's good. Biden introducing himself. Yeah. You guess who's talking? It's me, Joe Badden.
Starting point is 00:26:45 If you see my lips and you hear the sound, we took a little trip to the cafe car on our rail ride. I came along, a lot of fun. I'm curious if you have any snacks you choose when you're in motion on a train. Oh, cool, All right, no. Never want to love this. That is probably the most human way to ask that question.
Starting point is 00:27:10 I'm just thinking of other different possibilities. That's probably the best one. That also is when the train was stopped, so we were not in motion on the train. Okay, fair enough. Does not apply. I got potato chips. Good choice. I did a crackers and cheese plate. I also did that and I added a little vegetable crudite.
Starting point is 00:27:27 Dr. Asta. You guys were saying you like the cheese. Like, the cheese was good. The cheese was good. The cheese was good. The cheese was good. Did not clog me up. Like, I hoped it would.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Yeah, oh, that's why your hand was on your pants. Jesus Christ. I guess the joke there is you were your hand was at your pants. Jesus Christ. I guess the joke there is you were stuck. I'm putting cheese in my ass. That's one way of saying it. I know you have family members here, so I was going to say,
Starting point is 00:27:57 you were pushing it up your rectum. You could lead the rats out of Boston, like the pie to piper. You eating, you're eating a cheese stick and there's a cheese hanging out your ass. No music is flying. You're singing House of Pain, Jump Around. Oh, I just looked on this side of the table. Why, it doesn't seem to have you at this. Who was that guy? Who was that guy? You know what I would tell this day?
Starting point is 00:28:31 Our old friend, Pete Serrat. I know we taught about him yesterday. We love Pete Serrat. Is there an equivalent in Boston? Is there an equivalent of Pete Serrat in Boston? Shrimp rat? What did you say? Shrimp rat.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Yeah, no shrimp rat. There's a shrimp rat. Shrimp rat. Shrimp rat. Shrimp big? What did you say? Shrimp rat. Yeah, no shrimp rat. Shrimp rat. Shrimp rat. Shrimp rat. Shrimp big up here. He's the local rat. Shrimp rat. Shrimp rat here?
Starting point is 00:28:53 He's up in the balcony. Oh my God, he's jumping. Oh, but he's got a parachute made out of a Kleenex. Why, go take it away any time my man. This is... You know what? Let's talk burgers. I know you're tired, but do...
Starting point is 00:29:10 Let's talk burgers. Oh. We're on fumes, folks. This is going great. Oh, speaking of fumes, sorry Wigard, I just told you to continue, but I'm going to stop it. Did you guys have any smoke in this area? I... Because I heard that it was so smokey up here,
Starting point is 00:29:27 they started calling Tufts University, Puffs University. You thucker! That's what I heard, I don't know! Wow. I don't know, it's just what I just got here to town. I don't know exactly what... I, when I got here, I heard that it was so smokey up here, they started calling shrimp rat, smoked shrimp rat. LAUGHTER
Starting point is 00:29:55 Which is a rare preparation of shrimp, but you can do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. And shrimp rat knows that for sure. You think shrimp rat is friends with, uh, Bubba from forth. They've crossed paths and like some promotional events, some conferences. Yeah. So I guess way. So yes, they are. They're, they're not at least rip rat has been a life since Vietnam.
Starting point is 00:30:25 When Bubba died. Oh, I forgot Bubba died. Right, right. Yeah. Right, Gary Sinese. You forgot Bubba died? No, it's the Bubba gum shrimp company. I forgot that Gary Sinese's character,
Starting point is 00:30:37 Lieutenant Dan, was carrying on his legacy by opening the Bubba gum shrimp company along with Forest. Yeah. Just forgot about that. You confused Lieutenant Dan with Bubba. It happens to everybody. Yeah. There's a bubblegump entree that I think they've taken off the menu.
Starting point is 00:30:50 But at one point it's called Bubba's Bucket of Boat Trash. Fucking nasty assounding menu items. Everyone in a chain restaurant, man. Can I help you out? Yeah. If there's a chair you see, Lieutenant Dan it be. Hmm. Hmm. Uh, anyone remember the second half of it?
Starting point is 00:31:11 If he's laying in grass, that's Bubba's ass. So we're talking Tasty Burger. I, uh, I apologize. Before we get into tasty burger, I want to talk about burgers in general, because Zach and I know you're more stringent about it than me, but you're someone who eats vegan-ish. And-
Starting point is 00:31:35 Can we just give a shout out to Zach, who came all the way here from New York City. Yes. And I mean, you as well, man, for as well. But hold on, I'm gonna get to why we went to Grace Papaya, hot dog restaurants. That's right. And then a burger restaurant, you are a vegan.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Well, yeah, I don't even meet. I'll dabble in some dairy. Yeah, but me and Pizza Rat would get along in that regard. You get along with Chipotle too. But we have taken two bad restaurants. Two restaurants, but we have taken you to two bad restaurants. Two restaurants we shouldn't have taken him to. Well we'll see. We'll see what I thought about ASTEE Burger.
Starting point is 00:32:12 That's part of the, but this is the thing. I'm always interested in perspectives from people who have particular diets when we go to chain restaurants because that's part of the, you know, so much of eating in America is eating at chains and they should be able to accommodate people who, like, eat more plant-based, or have other, you know, dietary restrictions. Okay, yeah, all right, I'm with you. So I think it's worth evaluating.
Starting point is 00:32:32 I think it's a valuable perspective. Yeah, I'm kind of actually a hero now that you frame it that way. And thank me for my service. So what's your gen... Like, do you have a general go-to like plant-based burger? Impossible Wapper. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Oh yeah. That was very good. Really the only fast food like plant-based patty that stuck around too. Because a lot of them, I think the Carl's Jr. slash Hardy's Beans are still around. But like McDonald's killed the McPlan. White castle still has sliders. Okay, White castle does.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Duncan got rid of all their plant-based proteins. And then the same or plant-based meat. And then all of the young brands excise those from their menu. Yeah. Look. Yeah. I was just feeling in with the audience this thing. What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:33:21 It was crazy. It got rid of that shit. It was fucking like do it here. Man, I'm laughing so much, but I'm learning a ton. Yeah. What the fuck? And I want to leave, because I've learned so much. I got cross references to the library.
Starting point is 00:33:37 He'll be back. I saw it. I love shrimp, if that's shrimp right. Yeah. He's thinking, that's what he's thinking. That's what he's thinking. That reminds me, I got to go with lead wrap. Yeah, yeah. He's thinking, that's what he's thinking. That's what he's thinking. That reminds me, I gotta go and lead shrimp. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:47 Yeah. A couple days ago, they were supposed to be smoked shrimp wrap. Yes, I do love, also Shake Shack has a new veggie burger that's very good. Oh, you were mentioning this, and I have not tried this yet. It's not like beyond or in pot, it's like actual vegetables.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Oh, wow. It's very good. Because before their option was like the, it was the portobella that was filled with cheese and it was such a gut bomb that I rarely ordered it. This one's more a little burger-ish. Handman, what are your general burger tendencies? Favorite toppings, favorite cheeses. Always cheeseburger. Yeah, I like the mayonnaise on the bun. I feel like that's you. Oh, sure. Uh-huh, I like doing that.
Starting point is 00:34:25 And sometimes I think bacon is a little too much. Yeah. You don't eat it. Wow, they did not like that. They didn't, it's not that they didn't like it, they had no opinion about it. I think maybe they didn't hear it. Maybe you need to say it again.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Yeah, I'm talking. I don't like too much bacon. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, And it's not a small number, it's not like close. I'd say close to double digits. Wow. It's a tough meat for me to cook, and I like to cook it, and I like to eat it. But it always comes out. I take a bite, it's pink, and I put it all back in. I have to cut up all the chicken
Starting point is 00:35:16 so I'm making sure it's all getting the heat. You ever try a meat thermometer? No, I've never been to meat. OK, you don't want to be snootin' like, have you ever tried a recipe? You're not reliable. Have you ever tried a recipe? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Real nice friends you got here, Mitch. Real nice friends. No, I know, I, you have your own recipe. What's it called? Rikko Chai Chi is my recipe. Rikko Chai Chi. Rikochai cheese. If you don't know what it is, well, it's chicken chopped up and you fry that up and then put rice in with it
Starting point is 00:35:51 and then corn and cheese. Rikochai cheese. Co is this, yeah. Corn in there and then cheese all over the whole topic. You put hot sauce on it. You can switch out anything for anything in it too. Right, co-bright chi, I do, or no, bry, bry, whatever. Broccoli goes in it sometimes. What's bry?
Starting point is 00:36:13 Broccoli. Oh, got it. Yeah, yeah. Broccoli is bry? I guess bro. Bry bro, chai chi. Yeah, bro makes sense. Bro, bro, bro.
Starting point is 00:36:24 Is this the dish you came up with or is this something that's in the... Yeah, this is, I came up with it and I make it all the time. No, it's no way. You came up with RICO Chai Chi. Yeah. Oh my God. Did you believe that?
Starting point is 00:36:34 Dude, that's crazy. I would love to make it for you. Have I ever made it for you guys? I should do that. No, I don't. I've seen it be undercooked multiple times. No, wait a minute, hold on, I'm good when the chicken is chopped small
Starting point is 00:36:49 because I know it's getting easier. Yeah, it makes it consistent. I'd be at your house, I'd be like, that looks undercooked. And you're like, it's good. And then you're like, ooh, it's undercooked. It's good, pink, pink juice coming out of it. You ever do like a butterfly Polish sausage
Starting point is 00:37:04 on a hamburger? I've done that before. I don't even know what that is. Oh. Just like, it's basically like a hot dog. You just butterfly me cutting it down. Yeah, cut it in half and then you put it on the flat top and you put it on top of a burger.
Starting point is 00:37:15 I mean, that's in places that do that. And it's a little over the top, but it can be, you know, in certain contexts, it can work. Yeah. I don't do that anymore, but back in the day. That's probably- No Mike doesn't like too much bacon though,'t do that anymore, but back in the day. No mic doesn't like too much bacon though, and that's getting kind of close to the bacon.
Starting point is 00:37:29 I mean, yeah, if you don't like too much bacon, that probably will be better than the thing. Oh, was that a question for me? Oh, yeah, no, I would never do that. And that nothing. What about Patty Count? Because this is a thing that we ran into is that Mitch doubled up his patties
Starting point is 00:37:39 when we were at the tasty point. You don't really have to point it out. And I'm curious, like, is, because, because that's the thing Natalie will say, is like a double burger is kind of like the best proportion of meat to patty. And I think that's often true, although I sometimes find the double patty with a plant-based patty is like, that gets a little mushy.
Starting point is 00:37:59 I like one patty. Also, I've eaten hamburgers before. I feel like I'm sort of being treated as some type of alien. It was never encountered hamburgers. That's just the wiger experience. I'm very familiar with all types of hamburgers, cheeseburgers, bacon, all that. But I'm a one-pattery person meat or no meat. I like just one patty.
Starting point is 00:38:22 I do too. And you know what I like? Sorry, Mitch, to cut you up. Smashburgers is big for me. I like just one patty. I do too. And you know what I like, sorry Mitch, the Smash Burger is as big for me these days. Oh yeah, I really, I know the fat is coming on, but I love them. I'm usually a Doug Fenty, one patty only, and then sometimes I go double patty.
Starting point is 00:38:39 What is that? I don't know. I don't know. In Doug's fantasies? Sometimes I go to Doug's fantasy and I do double patty. I go double pork chop. You freak, I'm talking about dinner. I'm talking about pork chop.
Starting point is 00:38:54 It's the dog's name. Oh, is it? Oh, I didn't realize. I thought we were not talking about the show. You were doing it. I didn't think we were talking about the show Doug anymore. That's where we got confused. I've seen the way you make guys a wally and a wally, you freak.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Why, so not surprised that you bisect your meat. What does that mean? You said you cut your meat up. I was just picturing like the opening scenes of Hannibal on NBC. Who knows what it was? It was about the human flesh thing from earlier. No, not really, but now, yeah, kind of, I guess. Who is about the human flesh thing from earlier? No, not really, but now, yeah, kinda, I guess.
Starting point is 00:39:28 I missed that whole conversation. I think I went up to get my drink that they had forgotten, and I missed this whole thing about. Yeah. You saw everybody eating human flesh. Yeah, a small thing. It's a little tangent. I was the focus of our conversation.
Starting point is 00:39:40 I was there for it. That's like, look, the butter flying a sausage, putting it on a flat top it That's a like look they butter flying a sausage putting it on a flat top that's a common thing I mean you know like you're gonna polish side you know about fucking Polish sandwich. It's just it would it would roll off if you didn't do that Yeah, put it between two slices of bread. It's not gonna work roll it up on the table You know outside into the street you get to chase it down this street Sausage you think he wants that? It is made really? It's like babies day out.
Starting point is 00:40:07 What am I doing? Chasing a fucking hot dog all around town? I don't know what that? Who wants that? I know it's a writer's strike now, but you should write that up. As soon as we're allowed to pitch again, you're right in there pitching that move. I'm writing it right up here, right now. And then I'll just transcribe it when I get open final draft.
Starting point is 00:40:21 I gotta check in real quick. What are you writing? A movie about a hot dog that rolls through the city. Now you might be thinking, oh, like a giant hot dog? Now, normal size. Maybe they're a little smaller than the normal one. No, it doesn't talk now.
Starting point is 00:40:33 And also the man chasing it doesn't talk. I do like that. What's up everybody? It's your boy, the spoon man. Wags, the most important people in my life, I don't really believe it. I'm not sure if I'm the one who's the one who's the best. I'm not sure if I'm the one who's the best.

Although that original location is in the process of moving and has been closed since 2022. You know, the issue is too many dingers going through the window. And that's a high fly ball to left field going over the green monster at all. It shattered the plate glass window at Tasty Burger. Through that child's front teeth. Oh he won't be eating Tasty burgers anymore.
Starting point is 00:45:35 Liquid diet for him. I think you should write that one too. I'll write that out. That's another one, another feature film. So they're, they're, they're, they're, they seem more like scenes than feature films. No, I can't even move it. I can't even stretch them out. You know, I was unbore with the writer strike, but maybe AI is the way to go. Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Starting point is 00:45:56 I think that's what's going on here. Ha, ha, ha. Well, I can, what's gonna happen when we go back to work and they're like, oh, that's all right, no, yeah. All right, I'm a right, no, yeah. All right. I'm a man. I'm a normal man. I'm a normal circuited man.
Starting point is 00:46:12 There was a location in DC. And DC said, get out of my city at close. But there are five locations. Those fucking corrupt politicians, man, they couldn't handle the truth of Tasty Burger. And I thought they liked pork And beef another meets what the fuck Oh the pork barrel spending of politicians not familiar with that reference
Starting point is 00:46:37 Politicians like pork they get pork into bills Wow, you sound like you are not familiar with this. This is like a common political thing. They get it. I like it. I like it. I like it. So if you have a bill, and it's like, oh, this bill
Starting point is 00:46:53 is to fund the National Endowment for the Arts. And then some like Senator is like, oh, I think we should also build a bridge in my state. And then that gets added. that's pork barrel spending. And they're like, all right, if this fucking guy will vote for it, we'll build a bridge we don't need, we don't need in order to make work project for his state. This is like a common way that things get done.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Got it. This is speaking to pork, how the sausage gets made when it comes to legislating. Can I be honest with you? Yeah. I heard pork barrel I took it as a literal thing. I never thought that it was, no idea what it was. And some of us lack tea to ice cream.
Starting point is 00:47:32 You know who I am, right? Is that Bill? No, it's Joe Biden's back. Oh, it's Biden's back. Does this need like, doesn't, don't I like ice cream? I think you do, Joe. Yeah, I think you do, sorry you do. Oh, it's Biden's back. Does this need like, doesn't, don't I like ice cream? I think you do, yeah. Yeah, I think you do, sorry you. Like, you actually love ice cream.
Starting point is 00:47:50 It's one thing I know about you. Sorry, I fell off my bike. I heard there was a straight hot dog in your path. I think went over the handlebars. There was, so okay. So here's some of the assets of Tasty Burger. They have grass-fed beef, homemade buns, and from scratch sauces, so that does not apply to their dip and sauces, which I was shocked by.
Starting point is 00:48:13 They are also part of the Franklin Restaurant Group, which includes, and you may know some of these local restaurants, citizen public house and oyster bar, Franklin Cafe and our father's deli, all the same company as company is tasty burger so this is all one entity Here's another thing in 2016 Those those sound like restaurants in like a right wing movie. They don't sound real In 2016 Chipotle launched a burger concept called tasty made and tasty burger was like that's infringing on our copyright and they sued them and Tasty made was like, that's infringing on our copyright and they sued them and Tasty made no longer exists. Wow.
Starting point is 00:48:47 No. The system worked. One other thing we should add, Mitch, is that, and is the drop king here tonight, Robert Persinger, are you here tonight? If he is, he's being very quiet. I tried some, he's right there. Well, he is there, I didn't see him. Yeah, he's waving his hands right in the middle.
Starting point is 00:49:06 What's up DK? Drop King, you love this place, is that correct? You are a fan, yeah. But you're not free-bought. Thanks, drop King. But you're not from Boston, you're from Seattle, but you have an affection for this place. We were trying to decide what chain we were going to do.
Starting point is 00:49:24 Yeah. And there was part of us were like, well, drop king loves this place. Let's not do it. We were going to bully you and not do it. We thought it would be funny in the sense of like, hey, we should, we should not do it just because drop king likes it. And then be like, wait, does he care that much? And I think we were like, no, I think that makes it? And I think we were like, no. I think that makes it funnier, because then it'll just be confused. I wanted to do look.
Starting point is 00:49:52 I wanted to do, you really wanted to do legal seafood. We did not have time, it could not have worked out. And the way it turned out, it would have been a true nightmare if we decided to do this. There's no way it would have happened. We got in at four o'clock. But look, we had to be agree by five thirty. T-licks.
Starting point is 00:50:07 There's places that mean more to me than than tasty burger. Yes, because tasty burgers are relatively recent entity. It came about and again, as I mentioned in 2010, you've been in LA this whole fucking time. You know, I can't do it. I can't come back a lot. Well, I've been gone since it opened. Yes, I haven't been here as much since it opened. Yeah, but every time I've tried it, I've been gone since it opened, yes. I haven't been here as much since it opened. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:27 But every time I've tried it, I've enjoyed myself. We've had a good time, and I will say, in point of fact, went to Tasty Burger after our last Boston show. We finished this show, and we went over there for some late-nighties just to go. Had a lovely meal, so I do have that memory attached to this place. Yes. You also order on a kiosk, And so we went to the back bay location, which is just outside the Chuchu stop. How fun is that? Got off the train,
Starting point is 00:50:50 still had our luggage, walked straight into the Tasty burger, I walked straight to the bathroom personally. That's true. There was a guy with a cello in there. There were two guys with cellos in the room. Somebody else with a sacks or something. In the bathroom? In the bathroom. Yeah, there was like a band in there. Like, no, they were just taking the, They had them in case I asked them to stay outside my stall and play Made me comfortable like I'm gonna flush myself down just play. Did you try and harmonize with them? I think he's I think he's laughing because that is exactly what it's how it like. Incredible, fully work.
Starting point is 00:51:36 That was good. Well, it's really good. You're spot on, honestly. I have a lot of experience myself in that arena. Yeah, couple a couple of about myself in that arena. Yeah, a couple of them. I did some symphony was there or something was going on. Something was going on. So we ordered at the, you ordered the kiosk there. One frustration I had and we had cash for a cash tip, but you can't tip on the kiosk.
Starting point is 00:51:58 And we asked the guy, like, can you tip on the kiosk? He's like, I don't know, they're going to fix it at corporate, but you know, as a little friend, like if you're guiding you towards this thing, you should be able to add gratuity, but yeah, it's not an option. Corporate fat cats trying to sneak they're pork into the system of the guy. Exactly, thank you, Zach, one thing at a time.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Thank you. So I got the Biggest Hasty, this is their signature burger, and I subbed and we figured out how to do this on the kiosk You figured out how to do this and I followed your your lead kind of hacked into the system. Oh, yeah You came down like like Tom Cruise and Mr. Possible a veggie patty the wires broke Like oh, this is where's the use in Dumbo drop All right, all right Here's operation Dumbo drop. All right, all right, all right, all right. Here's Operation Dumbo Drop. All right, we're done.
Starting point is 00:52:49 We're done with it, okay? All right, all right, sure. I want to talk about it. Here's what's on the big tasty. Cheese lettuce tomato, pickles, onions, and tasty sauce. I thought this was a delight. I thought this was a really nice veggie burger. I think the actual veggies on it, first off the patty,
Starting point is 00:53:08 and I'm curious your thoughts, Zach. Like I thought it was a quality veggie patty, and I think the actual vegetables that were on this, and in the condiment sense, the lettuce, the tomatoes, the pickle, and onion, they were ample, and they were fresh, they were good quality, a nice green leaf lettuce, and I like that tasty sauce, whatever the fuck it is.
Starting point is 00:53:24 I thought this was a little extra burger. I don't like tasty sauce as a name. Why not? I agree. It's fucking gross. It's... Why is it gross? Tasty sauce.
Starting point is 00:53:32 It's gross. It gives me the same feeling that when Nick says chuchu of like... LAUGHTER I just don't like that kind of kid talk. LAUGHTER Tasty sauce. Yeah, yeah, yeah. of kid talk. Tasty sauce. Yeah, I love this one. Tasty sauce.
Starting point is 00:53:48 No, yeah, it sounds awful. Can I get a side of tasty sauce, please? For the Chichu? It'll give me too much. I don't want to brown my undies. I also liked it. I I I also liked it out speaking of copyright infringement. Yes The tasty burger. It's called the is it the big tasty the big tasty? Isn't that very close to McDonald's?
Starting point is 00:54:18 McDonald's has the big and tasty It's pretty cool. Yeah, that is pretty close So Mitch, you're citing with with McDonald's, the multinational conglomerate that originates in Southern California over Boston's own tasty burger. That's what you're saying. Here comes my fucking heel turn. Yeah, maybe I am. Wow. Maybe McDonald's has treated me really well my whole life. Do they still have the big and tasty?
Starting point is 00:54:54 No. It's been discontinued. It's fine. I don't think it's an infringement. Yeah, it's public domain. Public domain. Yeah. Anyone can name a burger at the big and tasty.
Starting point is 00:55:02 It's like the most popular children's names this year Big and tasty is third They still got those fry guys You're asked if they still have the fry guys Grimmis's birthday is coming off as a district court. Yes. Yes. What is is it? What's his age? That's a great question. What is he? He's 12 It's not 12 he's 12. He's pretty purple for a 12 year old Yeah, you don't usually see kids that are that purple. Yeah, yeah
Starting point is 00:55:47 Why are you might have you might have seen a few? Okay. Alright. The way you've responded, the complete silence makes me so much more nervous about the human flesh conference. I gave you an all right. Mitch, what did you think of the big tasty? I liked it a lot. Yeah, it was like I said, and you doubled up the patty. Yeah, yeah, don't forget that. It again, the experience of going from the restroom to eating a double patty. Yes, was just a lot. It was a lot. That doesn't feel like you're in the bathroom not having a pleasant time, I assume.
Starting point is 00:56:34 And then you come out and I'm like, I'll have one of these just going to make me do that again later and this and this. What am I doing? Yeah. It was a bad move. It was a bad move. I guess it tasted good It did taste great honestly. I liked it. It was very greasy. It was a very great I wouldn't have double-devil doubled up the patties if I if I had known it was too It was a little too much hmm hmm hmm was a little too much. Mm-hmm. Mm.
Starting point is 00:57:03 Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Zach, you also took one of, because they have a veggie patty on their menu, and let me read this off, and this is a thing that, when I try to eat plant by say, a little frustrated, they have a, they have a, their veggie burger is a vegan patty with guacamole, greens,
Starting point is 00:57:18 red onion, and tomato. It's like trying, like trying to be like, here's a healthy vegetable forward burger. It's like, no, we also want the garbage. We just don't want the meat, you know? Yeah, that, it does sound like they were like, what are some vegetables that we've heard of? Right.
Starting point is 00:57:34 Just guacamole. So I didn't want that. I went with the mushroom burger. Yes. And sub the veggie patty. Sauteed mushrooms, cheese, steak sauce, and truffle oil. Yes. And I thought it was great. I really liked the truffle. I likedie patty, sauteed mushrooms, cheese, steak, sauce, and truffle oil. Yeah, truffle. And I thought it was great.
Starting point is 00:57:46 I really liked the truffle. I liked the patty. It was actual vegetables. And it was kind of crispy a little bit. Great texture to it. Great texture to it. Great texture to it. Were the burgers crispy at all?
Starting point is 00:57:56 Like a smash burger or not? I don't think so. Mine had so much sauce and stuff on it that I couldn't tell. But yeah, I thought it was great. Yeah. Really, really good. Hey, man, what'd you get for your burger? I got the hubba burger.
Starting point is 00:58:07 It was like a chili, chili burger with cheese all over it. It's cheese sauce, sliced scallions, and what they call tasty chili. You know what happens if you double up the patty on the hubba burger, right? No. It comes the hubba hubba. Ha ha ha ha ha said in the back, they help you make some tasty stuff. They put it a little like slim shorts.
Starting point is 00:58:40 Love it, hubba, you're ready to go. Now don't this thing in some shitty cheese and roll it on out to that idiot. Yeah, the scallions I thought were unnecessary. I didn't need those. Probably didn't need the whole thing. I feel like I could always use scallions. Oh, I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Give it up scallions. I love scallions. Always, what are you doubted to anything? Not to anything, but I think the most savory dishes, I improved with a little bit of scallions, why not? I'm gonna disagree with both of you and say I'm completely neutral on scallions. Okay, fair.
Starting point is 00:59:14 I don't have you. It's good to have you. It's good to have you. It's good to have you. In one way or another. Well, I gotta have some opinion on them, I guess. Vegetable Patty, Doug funny's nightmare. Oh yeah, that would be really sad.
Starting point is 00:59:31 Oh gee, yeah, I go where you're saying, yeah, what a bummer that would be. Hey funny, you want me to pull the plug? Dr. Roger Klotz. He pulls a racher on his back. He's sitting on that. He's her doctor in that scenario. And he walks in and says, I'm gonna pull the plug. Do you want me to pull the blood? Yeah, maybe he does. He's crazy. He's a bully. He's a bully. He's a bully. He's a bully doctor. He's a bully doctor.
Starting point is 01:00:07 I hope they do a gritty Doug reboot. I do hope they do a gritty Doug reboot. Ooh, who would what would the casting be like? Let's fly and kick Tiger King this bitch. For Doug, obviously ha. Wow. Who's our greenest actor for Roger? Ha ha ha. Gumby? Yeah. I think you got to have it worked in years.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Ha ha ha. I suppose a live action movie with Mitch and Gumby is the male eats. I've fucking watching that. I'm not taking it. The speeder's kind of blue too, or greenish blue. Who do you be? Patty, of course, would be Florence Pugue. Right, she's great. Me and Pugue.
Starting point is 01:00:57 Skeeter would be Jake Sully from Avatar. Oh yeah, that's a great call. He's so good in Avatar. Yeah, he's fantastic. He's really good. Maybe Doug's dad could be Sully's a great call. He's so good in Avatar. Yeah, he's fantastic. He's really good. Maybe Doug's dad could be Sully Sullenberger. Yeah. It's fun like a stunt cast. That's good.
Starting point is 01:01:13 No, not a stunt cast. Oh, like you would take acting class. He's acting class. Yeah, that's fun. Yeah. And then might as well throw in Sully from a monster's university, just in case. Yeah, he is. He's also blue. Oh's university, just in case. He is.
Starting point is 01:01:25 He's also blue. Oh, he's just the thing. There was like the box office gold. Get a blue Sully in there. Jake Sullivan, Sully from Avatar. Fucking Sully from Monsters Inc. and Monsters University. Or Sully from Sully, the movie where he becomes blue
Starting point is 01:01:40 because he lands in a river. Yes. The blue water gets on him and he comes blue. That's what happens. He's cool. Let's talk chicken sandwiches. We got a crispy chicken and a buffalo chicken. Crispy chicken I thought was dry and unremarkable.
Starting point is 01:02:00 Buffalo chicken I think slathered in sauce was a pretty nice bite. I thought that was cockadoodle delicious. Which one? Buffalo chicken I think slathered in sauce was a pretty nice bite. Well, I thought that was cock-a-doodle-delicious. Which one, both of them? Buffalo chicken one. Yeah. The other one was a dry guide and love it. Yeah, the other one felt like we kind of talked about this. It was like a frozen patty that you made yourself.
Starting point is 01:02:17 Like, what's a wet kind of? It's gross. It looked very middle school lunch like, you know. Yes. Frozen pattyty Doug's nightmare Can't explain to him. I can't wait to explain to my mom what Doug funny is I Was making funny for the Gray Man and we've gone on around a 30 year old Nickelodeon cartoon Here's how old I am. I'm too old for Doug. I'm piecing together what it is from hearing the three of you.
Starting point is 01:02:46 I was a Mr. Ed fan myself. You can explain it to me and your mom. Yeah, I'm the Christmas chicken. It just needed something, right? I honestly could have used some tasty sauce. Oh, fucker. You've I'm not wrong. Could have used a pickle or their pickles on it. No pickles. It had been surprising because I have good pickles there. Oh fucker, you've- I'm not wrong. Could he use the pickle or the pickles on it? No pickles. Could have been. Surprising, because they have good pickles there. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:09 The other one was wet. I agree with you. Yeah. I liked how wet it was. That's insane. No, I liked the wet buffalo chicken sandwich. I liked it. You didn't like how wet it with the other one?
Starting point is 01:03:21 I liked it. You liked how wet the patty was? Yeah. Sounds like Doug's the patty was? Yeah. So it was like Doug's dream, I mean. All right. Whoo. Woo. Thanks.
Starting point is 01:03:32 Not if you have so much work getting him to say it again. Wait, wait, wait, you're telling me. Say it again. And did you say, did you say fuck patty? Did I hear you say fuck patty? Yeah, I think I might have. Yeah, fuck patty sounds like Doug's evening plans. He's gonna fuck some chicken.
Starting point is 01:03:52 Yeah. How about Doug, a remake of American pie with Doug funny. Everyone else's live action, but he's a tune. Think you get the, you get the original cast to come back. Play the same parts, but then Doug plays Jason Bigg. Age him down like they did in the Irishman. Age down Doug funny? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:04:13 Living cast. Okay, all right, good, good. We have to age him up. The character's last name is funny. Yeah. Doug funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a delight.
Starting point is 01:04:28 Yeah, it's so you know how you're supposed to feel about the show. I love that. That's great for me. All right, we also got some, we also, speaking of chicken, we got some chicken nuggets. We got every sauce and no sauce was specific to Tasty Burger. This place makes a big point about their house made sauces, but no, we're getting like Ken's steakhouse Blue cheese and like literally like it's a good blue cheese fine. It's a fine blue cheese Feel very to shout out the Ken's brand, but I mean like I wanted something unique to this place They got it. They literally was like a Heinz honey mustard. You were pissed off. I was just surprised
Starting point is 01:05:00 I thought that we would get something that was a signature here. It was an offer in the restaurant. There was a lot of folks from Pride who came from the Pride, Pride Pray today. Happy Pride. You know why it was so packed? It's like everyone waited in line for that kiosk thing. Yes. That was a real bottleneck. One kiosk. Yeah, that was kind of weird. And then the front of the house is like reading the kiosk and then there's getting, you know, there's like a little bit of a confusion there. I don't know. Like I always prefer to order from a cashier If you have to order for if you want the option of a kiosk fine, but I like to talk to a person looking their eyes
Starting point is 01:05:32 Tell them what I want. They understand shake at the end exactly You got a friend after my meal. I'll see you after the meal Of course, I'm done with a meal. I'm Right out the door. You do a parked car running a friend of mine is driving. I'm gone! Puckets bulging with seven bucks. That's spent.
Starting point is 01:05:54 You have a buddy who's waiting for you? Every town, every time I come into a town, I locate someone I'm Craigslist. I need a wheel man. I'm going to Tasty Burger. Seems like that dude is taking a loss on that.. I'm going to Tasty Burger. It seems like that. You probably taken a loss on that. Yeah. Just pay the Tasty Burger. Pay the Tasty, yeah. Get out of the middle man.
Starting point is 01:06:11 Yeah. I guess I'd miss the sense of danger or adventure. Why, you were pissed about the sauce situation. You ran up, you were pushing people out of the way to get to the front of the line. And you complained to the manager. They were all, there was a blue cheese packet. Yeah. And there was a sweetened sour hind sauce. There was no tasty burger sauces.
Starting point is 01:06:32 No, nothing distinct to this chain. What, I was just surprised by. I didn't wager a complaint, but I was a little surprised by it. I thought the nuggets were unremarkable. They were fine. I don't know. Did you like the nuggets? They were fine.
Starting point is 01:06:44 They were fine. They were fine nuggets. They were fine. They didn't seem. Did you like the nuggets? They were fine. They were fine. They were fine. No, yes, they're fine They didn't seem to fit in with the way the rest of the chicken was done They weren't really different kind of chicken you would you would like them, but they were a little more wet I think I think they were a little too dry Speaking of what my hands are sopping wet. I feel so sick You all right? No, I'll be fine. Wait a minute. We'll keep doing this.
Starting point is 01:07:08 We're going to keep doing the show. Did you say wet nugget? I did say wet nugget. Snoop Dogg's nightmare. Yeah, that's pretty good. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. I got your back, dude.
Starting point is 01:07:20 That's pretty good. Say good to have you back. That's good to have you back, man. Good to have you back. Oh, Mitch, have you back, man. Good to have you back. Oh, Mitch, you also got yourself a Zum Zum. What was that? What was that? I got myself a Zum Zum.
Starting point is 01:07:32 That's right. Zum Zum for the Tum Tum. It was not needed, I guess you could say. It was a hot dog with sour crout, yellow mustard. Grain mustard, huh? Grain mustard. Oh, grain mustard. Yeah, I thought you grain mustard, huh? Grain mustard. Oh, grain mustard. Yeah, I thought you were saying great mustard.
Starting point is 01:07:48 Grain mustard. That I said, grain mustard? Mitch. You got the fever too, it's like that. Yeah, man. In your brain. I thought you said, great. Great mustard.
Starting point is 01:08:02 I thought the mustard was fine. It was a grain mustard though. This should be the new who's on first. This is embarrassing about mommy. I want to go home. A celery seed on that as well. Celery seeds on there. Look, we had graze yesterday. This was a good, I took a bite of this.
Starting point is 01:08:27 I, you know, I, I, I, I, Lady in the Champ this with you. I think it was a decent, no, I thought it was a well-grilled dog. Actually, that they did good work in the flat top with that dog. The way you all shared this hot dog was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen, which is you made sure to only bite in places other people had bitten, even though there's two ends to a hot talk.
Starting point is 01:08:46 You somehow ended up biting it, turning it around, then biting it, then handing it, then biting it, then it couldn't run. It got test to me as like an inch long piece of meat. I was like, no. I had two hot dogs yesterday. I did realize that was happening as it never seemed to go on. Anything like it. Yeah, no, we did a bad job with that likes. Innovators. Quality dog though.
Starting point is 01:09:14 I didn't need all the toppings. Yeah, I thought it was good. I thought it was a nice outing for the dog. It was a nice dog. Other sides, we had the tachos and the fried mozzarella. Fried mozzarella, I don't know if I can need that on the menu. What are we doing here? I thought it was good. I thought it was good too. I liked how thick the Breading was and it wasn't in stick form. It was in triangle form. That's a great point. Yeah, I like it's different shaped
Starting point is 01:09:40 Yeah, there was a little paper football. Yeah, kick him right into my mouth, I say. I liked him quite a bit. You know, like those wings, I'm surprised. I thought it was fine. I think they were unremarkable. Yeah, they had really great stretch on them. They stretched, oh my God. Yeah, you got to a stretch, this is the issue.
Starting point is 01:09:57 You got to a stretch situation. You know what God's wrapped up in that thing. There was a Mr. Fantastic sort of thing where like, yeah, the, I was pulling one apart with one of the other diners. I look over and you look like a mummy, it's all wrapped around. A yummy mummy. And I think the... Here's the thing, I didn't like that one, I shouldn't,
Starting point is 01:10:18 because it does feel like the choo choo and the tasty, but yummy mummy, I like it. If you had said, put a yummy mommy in my tummy, I would have, then I'm done. But you didn't, so that's great. I know where to draw the line. It also made a sauce for dip in, which, again, another sauce.
Starting point is 01:10:36 This was kind of a mozzarella, I guess, or kind of a marinara rather. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know, this felt to me of a piece with a nugget. I'm not quite sure why this is on here. I guess this is for kids. The Tacho's another one. Too much shit on this.
Starting point is 01:10:50 Tasty chili, cheese, sauce, sour cream, tomatoes, scallions, too much. You know what I say to all this on top of these tots? Look at the scallion guy, all of a sudden, the hate scallion. Get the hell out of here. Give me the scallions, keep the scallions, but everything else, unka-pachka, I don't need it. Get it out of here.
Starting point is 01:11:07 So you would have preferred dry tater tots sprinkled with scallions. You're goddamn right, I would. I would have preferred that. Give me a little scallion garnish and give me some dry tots so they can dip in my favorite sauce. Or some of their ketchup. Can I say a funny story? Yeah, I texted,
Starting point is 01:11:27 Mookie was at my house last night, he slept there at my home last night. Right, and I said, you better not jack off in my house. And then he sent me a naked photo from my bedroom with a little heart emoji over his, over his genitalia. And then you showed it to our entire train car. He told everyone now. We also got fries, rings, and tater tots.
Starting point is 01:12:00 I tell my mom not to come to this. She's like, auntie Masha and Uncle Jim, we're on the way. And I don't come, what are you doing? She wants to see you. I know. I love her. No, she doesn't. No, this isn't the place to be proud of me.
Starting point is 01:12:14 Where is the place to be proud of you? Good question. Not the bathroom. I'm proud of you. She would be proud of me. I'm doing all right. Look, I've been saying a lot of negative things about this place, but I want to come back to burgers and everything in the fryer.
Starting point is 01:12:33 I think are all done really well. And I think the fries are great. I think the actual tots, the straight up tots are great. I think they're well-fried and they're crispy. And I think the onion rings, those aren't for me. Like, because they're the onion strings. They're not for me, like, like, cause they're the onion strings. They're not big to them, everyone else. Everyone else like them for me, they're too greasy.
Starting point is 01:12:48 I get it, I get it. It's a, if you eat more than a few of them, you're like, it's a lot of, but it's a, but these all were well fried. And these all had like the great, you know, exactly what you want from a fast food fried side. Onion rings were so flat,
Starting point is 01:13:02 they were almost like a patty almost like if you kind of flat they were kind of like a flat patty. I don't know anything. What's Doug think about that? I really don't know. not my place to say. Let's talk shakes a little bit, because this is another thing this place does. I got a vanilla shake. Someone else got a mocha shake. Someone else is me, baby. Oh, that was you.
Starting point is 01:13:40 I could shake. I could remember who got what? I got a mocha shake. Were there any other shakes on the day? Hanford no you did the Harlem Shake Take your phone out we can take darkness Is that one is that a meme thing? I don't know It's a meme thing from a while back. Yeah, right
Starting point is 01:14:06 Like a mom shake a meme thing. Yeah, was that a dance everyone did it did it for a while, it was a TikTok thing. Was that the thing where it's like, everyone would be doing something kind of normal, and then it would get dark. And then it was like, come on. And it would go, do the Harlem Shake. Boom. We should get to those. I think it's like 10 years old at this point.
Starting point is 01:14:21 Yeah, so fucking old. Is there a memory thing back? Bring back memes. It's getting at this point. So fucking old. Is there a memory thing back? Bring back memes. It's getting to that point. That's where we are as a culture nostalgia for memes. Where were you when Turtle Kid dropped? That's where we are as a culture nostalgia for memes. I like turtles. I can't.
Starting point is 01:14:48 And why was he dressed up like a skeleton? Just his face, just his painted like a skeleton. Yeah, that was not Halloween. No. But he liked turtles. Shakes, shakes. A big part of a shit of enjoying me enjoying a shake is viscosity. And I think this vanilla shake was suitably viscous. Milk shakes are one of the most fun things in the world.
Starting point is 01:15:15 Yeah. The way you just talked about them is like, I never want to have a milk. Hey, Nick, what's like the top thing you about, like about milkshakes? Viscosity! It's true! It depends on the viscosity, and of course the temperature plays a huge part, not... No, it's gotta be cool, it's gotta be appropriately thick, but not too thick. You still want to be able to get some of it through a straw.
Starting point is 01:15:39 I think this is a, I think this is a nice balance, and I think you had a great vanilla flavor, and you know me, I say vanilla is a flavor. I'm with you. I'm with you. Yeah. And the mits you had the mocha. And my issue with the mocha, you enjoyed it. My issue with the mocha, I just thought I had too much chocolate.
Starting point is 01:15:54 You said it was too much chocolate. I liked the chocolate. It was suppling my stomach. But you're kind of a fiend for chocolate. I'm kind of a chocolate holic. I'm a bit of a chocolate holic. I thought, we couldn't taste it just like straight up Hershey's syrup.
Starting point is 01:16:11 So it was, I might have just gotten a big gusher of like Hershey's through my straw. That might have been part of it. There was like a little Hershey's pocket. I remember like I hit a pocket and then you were just sucking in. And we were like, get a there and leave me, leave me. Very much like with air will be blood, it was kind of scary.
Starting point is 01:16:29 Yeah. Yeah. Did we miss any food? Is there anything else we didn't talk about? I got, for the people of Boston, I got myself a raspberry lime rickie. That's right, that was the other thing. I did as well, I did as well. I had some of a stray lion fishy.
Starting point is 01:16:46 Zach got one as well and Emma got one and then there was an extra which made Hanford mad for some reason. I was just pleased with the way they served us. Thank you. I watered in, come out, I had to go to the counter. They gave us an extra lion, Ricky. They gave us an extra thing.
Starting point is 01:17:02 Let's go. Oh. I hate that type of waste. I'm a CEO now. We also didn't talk about the table condiments. They got a lot of condiments on the table. That is huge part of the experience for me. They have a spicy ketchup and they also have that is one signature sauce they have in addition
Starting point is 01:17:26 to the tasty sauce. They have a fried spice, and that fried spice is a lot of fun. That was a lot of the fried spice. Did somebody say there was like a brown sugar in it? Or something or something or something? Yeah, it was like a sweet and spicy and maybe a little smoky. And it a lot going on. It reminded me of like, it's kind of like the garbage plate sauce
Starting point is 01:17:44 if anyone's ever had that from the Western New York It's sort of a little brown cinnamon or something is good Rochester, baby Can I ask something real quick who by round of applause who had Tasty Burger for this show? Wow, good number again. That's so cool the Quincy crew ordered up. They ordered it all together Mike is picked it up at Dan oh's house I love I just doing these live shows. It's fun when we go out and we see people there It's like oh cool. They're doing the thing and then we're all gonna That's I like it. I just think it's cool. It's fine. It's fun
Starting point is 01:18:19 They get excited for the show and they come see the show like oh god I have it a good time make a weekend out of it no response I think a lot of people out there are deleting the pictures they took with you it's flag day today in Quincy whoa a bunch of Quincy people came here instead of Flag Day. You know what that means? Wait, they celebrate Flag Day on a different day. They have their own Flag Day observed. Yes, we have our own Flag Day.
Starting point is 01:18:54 It's a big day, it's a big deal. Is Quincy gonna succeed from the union? Also, it feels a little pointed to be like, during pride to be like, well, today we're doing flag day. Yeah, I thought about those objects still right now. But you still bring all flags on flag day. Okay, there you go. Flag day. Gorgeous about flags in general.
Starting point is 01:19:22 Mostly the American flag. What is flag day anyway? Oh, you couldn't even understand it now. What it goes on in typical flag day in quizzes, they're like a parade in the town. Yeah, we get jolars. So that's just Fourth of July, right? Yeah, kind of. And then there's jolars coming up, folks.
Starting point is 01:19:41 It's a lot different than Fourth of July. There's a parade and then there's your eyes coming up folks. It's a lot different than fourth of July. There's a parade and then there's fireworks. And Uncle Sam's there and everyone's playing on their fights. And brought a fight tonight by the way. I know a lot of Bostonites have fights with someone. Someone's got a fight out there in the crowd. Let's get to our final thoughts on tasty burger.
Starting point is 01:20:01 So here's how this will work. And Mitch, I'm gonna have you go last because you are the person from this area. Okay. And I feel like you should have the final word here. So I'll go before you. But we'll each go down the line. We will give our closing argument
Starting point is 01:20:17 if you will on Tasty Burger. Gonna give it a fork score. Zach Cherry to my left. We'll begin with you. So at the show last night, you began with me. And I felt like it was a huge set up because I shared my score. It was nowhere near what anyone else thought.
Starting point is 01:20:33 It also, none of your scores matched the sort of vibe I got while watching you eat yesterday. So I feel like I'm out on another limb. But for me, I really liked Tasty Burger. I thought the veggie burger was great. The truffle mushroom was great. I liked the fried mozzarella. I liked the onion straws or rings.
Starting point is 01:20:56 I liked the tots. I liked the Ricky. Four and a half forks for me. Wow. Four forks two times. Oh, yeah. And I love that fries bites. That, you know what, fries bites,
Starting point is 01:21:08 we're gonna up to 4.754. Wow. Four forks three times, excellent score. Holy shit. All right, hand man. Your forescore. Unlike Zach, I was underwhelmed. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:21:22 I did not particularly enjoy, I ate it and I liked it. I was putting greasy, salty stuff in my mouth and I liked it. Okay? Oh, what would Doug say to that? I have had better burgers, better chicken sandwiches, better french fries. I did like the onion strings But I am going to have to give tasty burger goddamn it Oh Wow too for my
Starting point is 01:22:00 Wow you fool I'll see you outside Anyone wants to talk about it if anyone wants to have discussion about this outside. I'll see you outside. Anyone wants to talk about it. If anyone wants to have discussion about this outside, I'll be right out there. Please, you've got to give me the hell out of it. We can a Craigslist and find a Wheelman. Wow. Two.
Starting point is 01:22:20 Two. Two forks. Oh, forks. Yeah, it's forks. Yeah, I'm gonna stick with two. Wow, two forks. I'm shocked, I'm gobsmack because. You're an idiot. Hold on a second.
Starting point is 01:22:36 You're eating keto, you haven't mentioned this yet. Yeah, that's true, you're eating keto. My veganism has been put on display and it's not even fully accurate. And you've gotten away with hiding this big secret. I'm not hiding anything. Asked me anything you want about my keto diet. Oh, look at over there.
Starting point is 01:22:53 You had a bun off. You were eating it with a fork and knife. I saw you take one bite that was just only a tomato at one point. Yeah. I got a question for you, Mike. How was the bun? I had a few bites of each sandwich. I had a few bites of each sandwich.
Starting point is 01:23:05 I had a few bites with the bun. I just didn't finish it. And I had, don't worry about what I do on my plate. You spend so much time, what did you get? What do you do on this? Can I touch it? Just leave me alone. I don't want the hot dog.
Starting point is 01:23:17 I don't want this. I'm gonna eat my tomato ones. And then I'm gonna scrape off the chili. Why are you on keto anyways? You look like the turtle kid, you're a skeleton. I'm on keto, Mitch, because I tried to put some, I have a lot of pairs of pants I try to put on. I couldn't button them anymore.
Starting point is 01:23:35 So I had to go on Amazon and get those spacers. Were you trying to put them on all at once? Is that what was going on? I got really long ones, I tried to put them on over my chest. With my arms in them. And they didn't fit me more, and that's how I always used to wear my pants.
Starting point is 01:23:53 Two forks. Two forks, I'm shocked. Fine, five, fine, I wonder whatever. All right, five forks. All right, six, two, it's sticking to two. It's two, it's two. I want to shout out the drop-kane again, because there's another chain that I know is near and dear to his heart,
Starting point is 01:24:08 which is Dix, which is located in Seattle. Dix is fantastic, and Dix is one of my favorite places we've ever eaten on tour. What the hell? Tasty Burger is not Dix. It's not that level of like, this is a place that has made its mark on this city, that has a cultural imprint that has been here for more than a decade and that has its own sort of unique take on what they're doing. Because Tasty Burger for me is like a lot of burger chains, a lot of ones that are trying
Starting point is 01:24:38 either an approximation of what Shake Shack is doing or some sort of simulacrum of the smash burger trend. That said, I think it's a really well done burger. I really like the branding. You hear tasty burgers. That sounds familiar, and then there's a big mural of John Travolta on the wall from Pulp Fiction. You're like, it's referencing that that is a tasty burger
Starting point is 01:25:00 line from Pulp Fiction, but in kind of a subtle way. I think that's a lot of fun. I don't think I've ever had meat from Tasty Burger, but I think they're veggie patties or high quality, and I do think that, that as far as what they do, burger. I mean, the fucking name is Tasty Burger. Do they have a Tasty Burger? Yes, they do. So for me, that gets four forks. This is a four fork chain. It's an FFC. It's an FFC. Not for you TFC over here.
Starting point is 01:25:33 I can't believe that. We'll throw it over to the spoon man. Well, can't make the golden plate club. Yeah, it's ineligible from the golden plate club because it's in here. It wouldn't have been anyway, right? It wouldn wouldn't have been yeah, it wouldn't have been no, there's no there's no way it could make it. It would have made the golden play if it's four forks or above for everyone. I guess in the golden play. Look, five forks above is a threshold for the bottom. I should also say that
Starting point is 01:25:56 this is the second time you've done this Hanford. A jian famous foods in New York City, I think, was five forks across the board except for you. So you also I didn't like that? You did not. I loved it. You kept that out of the Golden Blake Club. What was wrong with me? I was probably mad at you guys for some reason.
Starting point is 01:26:11 Well, that was years ago. I'm sure we could revisit. You're a fool. You like uncooked chicken. You have horrible teeth. What's he talking to? Me! Title Do is a pain.
Starting point is 01:26:20 Stop. Hanford is our friend. He's entitled to his opinion. He's very to his opinion. He's very bold to be honest and not to pander to this crowd when he could. Thank you. You traveled all this way. You don't need to do that, Nick.
Starting point is 01:26:32 You don't need to fight my battles. I don't like raw chicken. I eat it accidentally and I re-cook it. I don't like the taste of it. I don't seek out raw chicken. Campy a quants that you've done so many times. Oh, it's just the way I get attention in the kitchen. Even though tasty burgers only 10 years old, I say bring in the new stuff, flags.
Starting point is 01:26:59 I'm that sort of guy. I'm a progressive man. What's next? I say bring it on in the old ways they need to go They need to change sometimes. I say that's me Mitch. That's the way I am That's right. No nostalgia for me. What is this character? Why are you you're affecting like an old-time Sort of cadence You're affecting the the cadence of someone who would be like make it great to get like the olds way
Starting point is 01:27:26 No, not me. Oh old Mitch bringing the new stuff bring in the new He sounds like AI now Did you did you write this after your little flag day? I apologize for the flag I was waving during flag day Look wise I don't I don't there's Pizzeria Doregena means a lot to me. Yeah, no shit Duncan Donuts means a lot. Uh-huh to me. Yeah, no shit. Duncan Donuts means a lot.
Starting point is 01:28:04 Tasty burger is newer. It's new. It's newer. So I'm not guaranteed to give this place. I'm not going to kiss ass like I always do. It's new. Yes. So it's, but I do love new things. You love new things. I love new things. I think it's good to see change. I think it's important. You're pro progress. I'm pro progress. That's me. He's so progressive. He says progress differently than us. But I'm not going to bow down to this newer chain.
Starting point is 01:28:33 If it was Anna's talk area, we're talking five fours. I don't care. If it's JP Liggs, you're just blowing a future shell. JP Liggs, five fours. Legal seafood, five fours. Legal seafood, five fours. All right, well, those three chains we're not gonna do. You have to do them, we have to do them. Tell them, we, tell him we have to do them.
Starting point is 01:28:53 They're, they're old institutions in this city. And those are the most important thing. Oh, you want a new city. So you're in favor of progress. But tradition is the most important thing. But tradition is the most important thing. Tradition is the most important thing. That's what this city's about. It's about traditions.
Starting point is 01:29:12 And I got a tradition. And it's given every restaurant review in Boston 5.4. It's 5.4. Wow. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

And what was I saying? Mitch's absence has impacted the local economy.

I feel like that's not really my fault as much as a top restaurant Well, there's more than just tauts. They do chicken fingers too. Okay, all right. It's taught forward. It was taught forward. All right, two beloved bakeries, Justin turnovers, and the mighty, mighty boss cones. I hate this.

The Chris Evans, what, can you say the name of it? They're all restaurants, men. Chris Evans presents the Marvel Cinematic Childaverse. Okay, straightforward.
Starting point is 01:43:23 Well, your chowder options are, or should I say, were New Easek, a planet from Guardians of the Galaxy II, Ragnarot Island, and your choice of Spider-Man Hatton, or Ant-Man Hatton. Oh, New Easeick was like New England. No, it's New E-Sick. It's a don't thing. Gone gravy gone.
Starting point is 01:44:03 Gravy for Brady. What? Gone gravy gone. Gravy for Brady. And Manchester by the gravy. Oh, that's sad. We had Col Haywicks close. That's Joyce Col Haywicks.

Starting point is 01:44:37 Tyler Perry's Smokehouse. Now you probably say to yourself, Tyler Perry's not from Boston. This is actually a restaurant run by Stephen Tyler and Joe Perry. Ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha!
Starting point is 01:44:55 Ha-ha-ha! And it's called Smokehouse because it's the only restaurant in America left with a smoking section. They do soup and salad. Ha-ha-ha! a left with a smoking section. They do super salad. And a handful of others. And I have to say to, you know, the ripple effect, it's not just restaurants that are closing. Not just restaurants. One of the hottest days of my life was when I had to go down and was when I had to go down and tell the workers at the tiny little condom factory. That they no longer had a job. The look on those people's faces is something I will never forget.
Starting point is 01:45:47 I said stop the tiny little conveyor belt right now and stop making those teeny tiny little condoms. And you know what's funny? You were keeping them in business. You never used them. You just didn't want anyone else to have fun. So sad. It is sad.
Starting point is 01:46:45 So that's what's going on in Quincy. Wow. I want to thank you. I want to do something for you and usually I you know every May is dream is to do what I'm about to do.

Starting point is 01:48:07 Wow. I appreciate that. It would be an honor. Any questions? I got a lot, but I think we should keep going. Yeah. I think we tied it up pretty nicely. Oh, yeah, I think so too.
Starting point is 01:48:25 John Quigley Adams, the mayor of Quincy, everybody. Thank you so much. By the way, Mitch, we talked about, you and I talked about like, hey, we should have Ramondi as John Adams come out at the end and be like, I am the real John Adams here, ye here ye and ring his bell. And you reached out to him. Yeah. He said no.
Starting point is 01:48:51 He said, I'm not doing that. I don't want to embarrass myself. Well, the real John Adams, please stand up. But then I'm fucking with you guys. But then also was like, Mookie's doing my bit. I'm like, it's completely different. All right, I guess the bit's over. Wow.
Starting point is 01:49:15 Mookie Blakelock, everyone. Yeah. Don't you dare recreate that photo. Justin Kylie's here too in the Nader in Scottief and Prilbot. What a crew. What a crew. And Vinda too, I don't know who cares. Who did I do care?
Starting point is 01:49:34 Jesus Christ, who did I meet last night? Huh? Who did I meet last night? Eddie Kinkle. Kinkle, I met Kinkle last night. He was, he was an ethoggy guy though. Oh, he's an ethoggy guy. What the fuck are you doing? Boo, we hate Kinkle. Boo.
Starting point is 01:49:48 Oh my god, he's gonna listen to this. No, that's all the whole Quincy crew, my mom, everybody's here. Wow. Wow. And you know, with everyone here, I'm sure some people have some questions, just like a restaurant via feedback. So, but of the feedback, Emma's gonna come out. Hello.
Starting point is 01:50:01 And bring up a few people for a little Q&A. I got Corey Age, Rebecca P and E and G. If you want to meet me right over here. Make your way up. And if you are seated up there on the balcony, just don't head down to the lower level. You can jump. We'll catch you. Yeah. Moogie, while we're waiting for the people to come out, let's hear your forks score for Tasty Burger. Oh no, I didn't think about it. And I didn't think I was gonna be asked. You can keep thinking about it.
Starting point is 01:50:28 Well, let's take this first question. Give me a minute. Hi, what's your name? What's your question? My name's Ian and my. Hi, Ian. Hi. My question was, what is your favorite thing
Starting point is 01:50:39 about Boston food? What's my favorite thing about Boston food? Wow. Is that a Harris Whittleshire, too? Is that a lot of food? Very cool, Sherry. That's my favorite thing about Boston food? Is that a Harris Whittleshire too? Is that a lot of fun? Very cool, Sherry. It's nice. Lovely tribute. That's great. We miss them. Yeah. My favorite thing about Boston food, well it's the best food in the damn world. Can I say something just for my perspective is someone who's visited the city a few times always for this shitty podcast.
Starting point is 01:51:08 It's a very walkable city and I really appreciate that there's like a lot you can get to and that it just feels like there's lots of good food options everywhere and that's not the case in every metropolitan area. Hate that about it. It's nice and it's a cute little compact little city. Like you can fit a bunch of Emma was saying, you can fit like 14 little Boston's on one Manhattan. It's cute. You can fit 12.
Starting point is 01:51:30 You can fit 12, it's like a little, it's compact. You can walk around. That's what Boston people want to hear. Yeah, you're a cute city, you can fit 12 times on a New York city. You like that city, right? No, I do like that aspect. I've discovered a lot of restaurants just by walking to places, or people have just had like, we're gonna walk over here. It's like, that's fucking great.
Starting point is 01:51:50 It's got tradition. It's old traditions and Boston. You got restaurants that are 100 years old. And you know what, I'm surrounded by friends and family and people I love. So that's easy for me. There you go. But what is it for you? Neither you mentioned food.
Starting point is 01:52:04 Oh yeah, seafood's good, too. But what is it for you? Neither you mentioned food. Oh yeah, seafoods get to. The seafood is good. Some fun seafood. My favorite thing is that tasty burger fries place. I love that. It is so good. I thought about pocketing the bottle when it was kind of loose. I didn't want to get it all over the place, but I really love that stuff.
Starting point is 01:52:22 Wow. I like that you can go in anywhere and say can I have a clam chowder and they don't, they have it. They got it for you and it's already got your name on it. It's not true. Is that why they say Burger got two forks because you were eating their off menu clam chowder? That's why I kept going to the counter.
Starting point is 01:52:42 It wasn't because they missed my drink. I was like, you have some chatter back there. He didn't up. You got a milkshake. You were like, this chatter is sweet. We don't have any spoons. Give me a fork. I don't care.
Starting point is 01:52:55 May just take my answer, but nobody does see food better. Wow. Wow. Hell yeah. What about the ocean? He's gone. The question guy is gone. Yeah, he left Awesome, hi, what's your name? What's your question? My name is Rebecca. I'm Rebecca. I'm a back up
Starting point is 01:53:22 So the first time I ever heard you guys was at the Pizzeria Regina live show. Wow. Wow. And I was very confused as to why I was spending my date and I coming to a podcast about chain restaurants. Ha, ha, ha. Now here we are at our third live show. And over COVID, I listened to every episode
Starting point is 01:53:39 from start to finish. Wow. What is your perfect date menu? It's a year still with the same person who took you there on a date. I am. We have been married for 11 years. Congratulations.
Starting point is 01:53:49 Thank you. Wow. Yes. Yes. Wow. There's anyone in the audience who's on a date with someone. This is what it could be like for you. You could go to three of these shows eventually.
Starting point is 01:54:01 And listen to all the podcasts. The dreams come true. Locked into your home. And I have a question for you. What's the secret? Good food. Good food. Good answer. What's a great date food? Why is I think we can talk about this? It's something that you don't want anything to get to. You don't get too sloppy and you don't want to have diarrhea.
Starting point is 01:54:21 It's basically it. Well, yeah, no one like food all over your face. And you don't want to have to like it's basically it. Well, no one like food all over your face and you don't want to have to like take a big nasty shit, you know, in front of someone there. It depends how soon and the relationship. Yeah, so like later in relationship, it's like, why don't we acknowledge reality? Diary fine, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:54:35 That's a good, when I go on a date, I'll take someone out, we'll go to a very nice restaurant, make reservations, special booth, off to the side, get some wine maybe, the waiter comes around. I say, you know, what can we get for you? Here's the specials. No, no, no, we don't need here specials.
Starting point is 01:54:49 Just bring us a sleeve of saltines. And a glass. We'll see it's broken on saltines and then go home. Yeah, same. And you never know it could turn into a nine and a half week situation. Were they have they. You do need to know. And you never know it could turn into a nine and a half week situation Where they they have they you do Famous sequence I think you got to do like
Starting point is 01:55:18 Abs and snacks. Oh, that's for a step. Yeah, you go. We're getting a drink We're getting a glass of wine. We're getting a cocktail and we're getting like two apps and we're gonna take little bites We're gonna share two little things. That's a lot of fun. I guess like a sort of a topus sort of situation. I do think like though I'm going back to Rebecca's question, is that you're right that it depends on where you are in the relationship. Because like if I'm having date night with my wife. With you.
Starting point is 01:55:41 With my gumawah. Hey, all right. We don't talk about that on the podcast. Hey, right, right. With you. With my guma. Hey, alright, we don't talk about that on the podcast. Right, right, I know. You know, when you have it, like, that's like, okay, we're going to go to a place that we both enjoy and that I think our approach is either, let's, let's go to a place that both of us like or that one of us really likes. And so it's like, either like, this is going to be your favorite spot or there's a spot
Starting point is 01:56:02 we can both enjoy together. So either I'm doing something nice for somebody or you know, I'll pick some cool place and Chuckie cheese for you. And you can say home, Natalie. No, islands, baby. Fucking hit in a bio. Go in there, get whatever you want. I'll meet you in an hour.
Starting point is 01:56:16 Here's a sleeve of quarters. I've never been I in my life like the time you and I want to Chuckie cheese together. Yeah, two adult men should not go to chuck a cheese stag. It's a bad bad move, it's bad vibe. We should have borrowed someone's child for the day. Hey buddy, can I borrow your child? It's for a podcast. We have a lot of fun sharing food too.
Starting point is 01:56:39 Like you go to like an Ethiopian restaurant where it's like a big thing that you can both you're both ribbon into and you're both sharing a bit. Like that's a fucking blast. It's annoying touch hands. Yeah, it's like, oh, cool. Sorry. Sorry. And the spark is back.
Starting point is 01:56:51 That's my surrogate board. All right. Cool it, hand man. All right, all right, all right. I told you I was gonna get wicked out of here. She's gone too. Oh, there you are. I'm over here.
Starting point is 01:57:08 I just didn't want to look at you guys anymore. I'd rather look at you from the shadows. Great question. That was a great question. That's good. Hey. Hello. I'm Corey.
Starting point is 01:57:20 Hi Corey. Hi Corey. Hello. Coming in with the important question. If you could replace your hair with a kind of pasta What would you choose and why? Wow? Yeah, we've been waiting for this one. It's a great question I was thinking like angel hair, you know, you get the haircut and then you also got dinner Right, but angel angel hair. You look like you were losing your hair, though, wouldn't it?
Starting point is 01:57:41 Well, you know just get in thick. I'm talking about the length. Oh, I know. I get what you said, but I think that partly come, and I'm I knew from here it seems like you maybe have like a like a curlier hair. Is that how you characterize it? A little bit. So like you, I think part of this question is maybe like I want a different hair than I have because like my hair is maybe closer to an angel hair.
Starting point is 01:57:59 It does thin a little bit like it is, you know, especially when it gets longer. So I would go with like a routine, you know, like like give me, I want some, give me like a few seely maybe. So then like, let me, let me, let me experiment on some curls. Do you know what that's like? Hmm. What? Have like a different look. Or fucking, let me dot, ravioli's all over my skull. Like a fucking freak.
Starting point is 01:58:18 I'm going one lasagna sheet up on its side more.

I mean, they, right now, it's just a fucking question. Jesus. You're also a beardy guy, so keep your beard in mind. What's the most, and don't forget your pubes.
Starting point is 01:59:13 Oh, what's the most pub-like pasta that there is? Tortillini. Tortillini. Tortillini. Tortillini. What's that? The Tortillini salesman. What about like Kava Toppy, the little curly ones that they make mac and cheese out of?
Starting point is 01:59:30 That's good. That's my answer. The mac and cheese one. Mac and cheese. Wait, they have to be your pubes, do? Was that a part of it? Yeah, part of the, it was clearly implied. Clearly implied that these are also your pubes. Oh, I say, I'm answer then. I think if you wanted that sort of what you're talking about, like a longer, like you're talking to Angelair,
Starting point is 01:59:53 I think you want to go with something like a linguine because it's got a little bit more thickness to it, a little bit more fullness. Then you'd have that great head of hair that I envy. This guy's going, yeah, you're right, you're right. No, he's not, he's not right. What are you talking about? Respect. Respect.
