On March 5, 1977, the sitcom Three's company premiered on ABC, making stars out of its titular trio, the late great John Ritter, voice of reason Joyce DeWitt, and cast as

Starting point is 00:01:52 a stereotypical, air-headed blonde, Suzanne Summers. The show was top 10 in the ratings for most of its eight-season run, and spawned multiple spin-offs. But Suzanne Summers would leave the series in 1980 amid a heated contract dispute that led to a personal falling out with the remaining cast members. And while her stardom would never again achieve the same heights, her fortune was found a decade later via an endorsement deal, starring in infomercials for a workout gadget that was ubiquitous in the 1990s, the Thighmaster. A squeezable apparatus held between the knees, much like the Shake Weight, it became known as much for its horny qualities as its aerobic value. More than 10 million Thighmasters were

Starting point is 00:02:29 sold, and as Pitch Woman, Summers pocketed a substantial sum, as well as facilitating a career shift to fitness and wellness guru, a shift that, unfortunately in recent years, has seen her embrace wild conspiracy theories, like blaming school shootings on toxins in food. The era of the infomercial has passed, and to Summers' chagrin, the American appetite for toxin-laden food has only grown. Witness Wingstop, which has doubled its number of restaurants in the past five years, and is now the sixth biggest chicken chain in the country. But in July 2021, that now-familiar Covid-era buzzword, Supply Chain, led to a chicken wing shortage potentially devastating for the poultry purveyor. The clever solution was found via another Covid-era buzzword,

Starting point is 00:03:11 Ghost Kitchen, as the company launched an app and online-only sub-brand based around the Wing's lower-limbed, dark meat counterpart, Thighs. The new label even featured a commercial starring Wingstop's own Suzanne Summers, franchise owner Rick Ross. But are these Thighs Masters, or do the Wing still fly higher? This week on Doe Boys, Thighs Stop. Welcome to Doe Boys, the podcast about chain restaurants. Hello, hello to all of you there at twitch.tv slash Doe Boys podcast. Eh, maybe a little janky, playing that video back? But you know what? I thought it was fun. I thought it was nice. Well, something different for the stream. Anyway, I'm Nick Weiger, of course. And let me introduce my co-host,

Starting point is 00:04:19 Saus Ferratu, Mr. Slice, Mike Mitchell. Straight jank. That video was straight jank. How dare you? To Spoon Nation and Slice Nation. You know, first of all, I gotta say, yeah, Suzanne Summers single-handedly put me through puberty. I would, I would see, I would turn on Threes Company Whigs. I'd look down. A pube would sprout. Oh, another episode's on him. Another pube. Right. I had to stop watching. It's going pube crazy. Whigs! Right. What were we gonna say? I was gonna say, over its eighth season run, you accumulated your share of pubes. 160 pubes?

Starting point is 00:05:13 Is that, am I doing the math right? 20 episodes a season? That's right. Wow, pretty good. Never do another one. That's it. That was it for life. Mitch, that drop was courtesy of Brian. Brian writes, it's like Nosferatu, Saus Ferratu, except Mitch went out at night sucking, uh, wait, what did you say? That drop? Sorry, that roast. We're all disconvolved in here. What the hell? Oh, Wally's coming down the stairs. I have stairs now. I mean, he said drop instead of roast, meow. All right, call and come down, Wally. You're saying Wally's a Reddit commenter? I think so. I think Wally's in there. I don't like that the Doughboy has released the Twitch stream episode as a main feed episode.

Starting point is 00:05:57 I swatched the Twitch stream and then it came in the main feed, so I had already heard it. Meow. I missed the moment of meow. That was my favorite part of the show. Meow. No one even remembers that. That's so long ago. You know, Saus Ferratu, oh good. Saus Ferratu hits close to home because I've currently moved and I can't find my nail clipper and I don't, I don't even want to show my hands today. In fact, now I'm going to, I got, I got, I got, I got some, like a, like a TNT original. I got claws. This is one of those things where you and I are, I saw Gabriel laugh at that in the chat. I just got that. It's on after basketball. The, that in the animal kingdom or only shows I know on, I know about

Starting point is 00:06:45 because they air promos during inside the NBA. They're on like, they're like 15th season. Yeah, I know. Like those shows for like the animal kingdom. Is this Sean Hatsoi? Is that who's in animal kingdom? Is it Hatsoi? I have no idea. The man from outside Providence himself. Wow. Y, look, you and I are COVID deniers, but we had to cancel a live show. We did. We had to cancel a bunch of live shows. We had five live shows that we were supposed to be doing this weekend. Tonight we were supposed to be in San Francisco as of this record. We would have been in Phoenix last night. The tour was going to kick off on January 6th, which we would have gotten a lot of mileage from. Yeah. Yeah. We put our foot down.

Starting point is 00:07:33 We're going to storm the Capitol, Capitol grill. What a let down that it's January 7th. It's like having a live show on boxing day or something. I know. The day after the big day. The day after the big day. What a bummer. Yeah. Anyway, why is that? Got a little drop. Emma, let's hit everybody with a little live show. First of the year. Drop. Let's do it. We're Rudolph and Hermie and Yukon Cornelius. Sir, who are you? I'm the official sentry of the island of misfit toys. A jack in the box or a sentry? Yes. My name is... Don't tell me. Jack. No. Micas. No. Groot. No. Frail bot. No. Utang. No. Dano. No. Scoop. No. Big Jim. No. Duck duck. No. Chankton. No. LD. Charlie. That's why I'm a misfit toy.

Starting point is 00:08:40 Wow. Wow. Wigs. For those who don't know, that won the drop off. The winner of the drop off. An annual tradition here on the Doughboys podcast. Now, if you don't know, you don't subscribe to the Doughboys double, which... All right. Sure. If they can. Hey, everyone, this drop is especially dumb. I hope you like it. Chris Finke. Pronounced Finke. Dash key. There's Chris. I'm burping because we ate so close to the show. I had my food, basically, and I still have some left. Yeah. But I ate it, basically, as we were on here, we did a little test. I was eating my food as we did a little test before the show. I have yet to eat my food, which we'll get to in a minute, but my food, part of why we're starting the stream late, is that my food arrived 30 minutes

Starting point is 00:09:34 past its original delivery time. 30 minutes. So I had to hustle downstairs. Give them what they want. But look, we should get our... 30 minutes. Yes, I have stairs. People are just going to mention stairs over and over again. That's right. You've been up there yet? Do you have stairs now? No, I know. I've settled down onto the first floor. It's going to kill me if I try to get up there. Why don't we get the person who's the funnier than both of us in here? What are we doing? I mean, that could be anyone. There's no wide net there. But we are very, very lucky to have... Who would have been with us on our live show? Doofson wasn't available. Who would have been with us on our live shows? One of the funniest

Starting point is 00:10:23 human beings on earth. From the podcast, High and Mighty in Action Boys, John Gabris is with us. Hi, Gabris. Yeah. Thanks for having me. Holy shit, fam. We're really doing it. We're really fucking doing it. Look at us. Mitch, people should know that you have more than one flight of stairs. You have a dozen, right? It goes... You live in like a weird spire and your bathroom's on the 12th floor. Yeah, I'm kind of in charge of a bell. My dream job. The hunch front of Notre Dame. Oh, shit. Gabris, how are you doing here in the new year? I'm all right. I'm mostly recovered from having COVID. I love to jump on trends. And when Omicron was hitting, I was like, well, I did CrossFit. I loved Pinkberry. I might as well get COVID.

Starting point is 00:11:24 So I went ahead and did that. My wife gave me COVID and we sat in the living room watching movies and TV series for 11 days. Wow. Were you mad at her at all for giving you COVID? I was not because it was inevitable. I live in like 800 square foot apartment. We sleep next to each other. Even if I quarantine from her, I can only get up to like 12 feet away max. And I would have to be sleeping in the kitchen sink. Yeah. If you're living in SO, get sick. You're going to get sick. I mean, that's just the way of things. It's pretty much unavoidable. That's it. Look, we wanted to do the live shows. It would have been a lot of fun. It would have been fun. We're going to hoot. And you know what? Midwest, I don't know if it's looking good for you

Starting point is 00:12:09 either. I'm just going to be honest. I know that's not the way to start a show, but... Well, yeah, we don't need to get into how... It's not looking good. It's not looking good in general. Like, we don't have to... Yeah. Not just for the Doe Boys tour, but for the future of society as we know it. No, we're failed today. Not the way you want to start the Twitch live stream. Gabriel, how do you like your chicken? Are you a guy who likes yourself a wing? Do you like a fried bird? Do you like a rotisserie chicken? What are your go-tos? Major chicken head over here.

Starting point is 00:12:40 Do you eat... Big time chicken head over here. I think that was a diss from like the 90s. It was, yes. She's a chicken head, or he's a chicken. They're a chicken head. Someone who enjoys giving fellatio. Yes. Gabriel, what's your favorite prep? Fried, grilled, or are you like a nightmare alley style guy? I'm like a nightmare alley style guy. I've never seen the movie, but you mean suck the eggs directly out of the chicken's pussy, eat the shells, spit out the yolk? I didn't see nightmare alley, but I'm guessing that's why that... You think Bradley Cooper sucks eggs out of a chicken's

Starting point is 00:13:15 quote unquote pussy at Nightmare Alley? You already hear that, Twitch. Bradley Cooper sucks eggs. He can go suck an egg, Cooper. I should have been Rocket Raccoon. You're not from fucking New York, you fuck. Oh shit, Bradley Cooper's in the chat. What's that? Izzy? What's up, Coop? Thanks for subscribing. She is hogging that movie, Wags. You do? Cooper? Cooper submerged hog in Nightmare Alley. I'll be back. I thought you were talking about... Well, goodbye, Wags. He definitely... Wagar is gone. He definitely acts as... I just checked out Ms. Skin real quick. You just updated your Ms. Skin. I just updated my profile.

Starting point is 00:13:59 Can you call the cloaca a pussy was what we were on before you left? Is cloaca one of your friends from home? Is cloaca one of the Quincy guys? Cloaca, you're too smart for this town. Get out of here, dude. The best part of my day, when I come to pick you up, and I hope for that split second that... In the middle of that bit, I was like, wait, what was the word again? I forgot the word. Because I don't think I've heard... That's what a chicken's pussy is called. A chicken's genitals. Cloaca, yeah. It's a catch all. It's both a reproductive organ and an excretory organ. So it's like first for everything.

Starting point is 00:14:41 Shitting, pissing, and fucking. One hole. You'll find it in chickens and Harvey Weinstein. Just dumping out fucking tires and Evian water. Fucking pig. Mitch, should you tell the listeners that, and maybe Weiger, that you didn't actually start watching Three's company till reruns in college? That's when my first pubes came in. I very much did like Suzanne Summers. I forgot that she went a little... I'd say just a little bit kooky from what you showed. Just a little kooky, yeah.

Starting point is 00:15:28 I love the openings, and I sometimes miss them if it's in studio app, but when it's a live app, you get to see the openings. And I love the first minute where I'm like, how the fuck is he going to get this to thigh stop? And he's like, and Suzanne Summers, and I was like... But to answer your original question, I like chicken wings. Chicken wings are one of my favorite food. I order them almost everywhere. Everywhere I go. I love a protein snack that doesn't make me feel too sluggish,

Starting point is 00:16:09 and I like a little spice. I like a little dairy dip. You know, it's got everything I like in an appetizer, chicken wings. Are wings your favorite chicken portion? Ooh, that's a great question, because I do love myself some fried chicken thighs. Fried chicken thighs for like a Gus's fried chicken or a good fried chicken spot. But I do also really enjoy chicken parm, and I have to, you know, or else I don't get to go to heaven, I think. I think I forget what... I'm a... I was raised in Roman Catholic.

Starting point is 00:16:41 It's something like you have to eat two doormat-sized chicken parms a week in order to get into heaven, like St. Peter's going to check. I'm a big chicken. I ate a lot of chicken parm growing up, too. To me, I love chicken parm, and it's something I don't get. Something that's really just... As far as on the food map, why? Because I feel like that was like such a huge dish. And I don't know why you don't... It's not as... Obviously, you still see it places. I'm not saying that it's like unpopular,

Starting point is 00:17:09 but I feel like the popularity of it 30 years ago was like so huge as compared to now. I think now with like food allergies, because chicken parm has like nightshades, dairy, grains, and meat in it. It's like checked off of like 40% of America's list of what they can... All it's missing is like, I like my chicken parm with peanuts crumbled on it, you know? I try that. An mRNA vaccine, something that I'm allergic to.

Starting point is 00:17:38 Medically exempt. I like... I need my chicken parm to be a little crispy, because I need... I like a thinner, crispy patty of chicken parm. That's what I need. Solid LA chicken parms? John and Vinny's and Craig's in Beverly Hills as a fucking great chicken parm. Do you have a local wing place, Gabriel? So I know we talk about you rustic.

Starting point is 00:18:07 Yeah. I don't live on the east side. I do like you rustic wings, but my go-to wing place over here is... We have two spots. We have Hot Wings Cafe, which has got bomb... This is great. Yeah, that place on Melrose. And then we also have a place called Love Baked Wings, which are like... Oh, yeah. ...sort of more expensive, but quote-unquote healthier.

Starting point is 00:18:28 It's like organic chicken, all baked, never fried. So they're like a little healthier, but they're not as good, but they do feel less guilty. But it's mad... And they have carrot fries, which rule. I don't know why I'm talking about... Carrots fries. They're fucking great, man. Oh, and for non-meat eaters, their vegan options are great. People really like their little nougat dippers.

Starting point is 00:18:54 They're like, put them in the shape of wings. There you go, Likes. Yeah, I've had some good ones. I've had some decent ones. I think they're called Daring. There's the Daring fake chicken that I've gotten from Costco and I've cooked up at home. And those are pretty good simulacrum. I was going to say, did you see that video at Hot Wings Cafe, either of you,

Starting point is 00:19:12 of the guy, like a couple was like dining in and like a guy comes in off the street and like fucking robs him, like mugs him in the restaurant while he's eating and like takes his watch. This was recent, right? Yeah, this was recent. This was like in the past month. I think there was a burger. Dude, that's like the 10th thing someone has told me or sent me about like a mugging on Melrose, which is like right where I live.

Starting point is 00:19:37 I guess, I guess fucking the sheriff is right. Crime is rising. I guess my aunt, I guess my aunt who lives back east is right. Crime in LA has skyrocketing. I've gotten that from people. I've gotten that from people back east too. Yeah. Are you crazy there?

Starting point is 00:19:57 My mom, my mom doesn't know where any of how California is laid out. So if there's ever a fire on the news, it's like, Jonathan, how far away are you from the fire? I'm like about a 14 hour drive. I'm going to be okay. I'm going to be okay today. But that one was another one. My mom's like, what's what's up with all the crimes out there? You know, it's like, what?

Starting point is 00:20:18 You mean wage, corporate employers? I know. It's a good spot. Man, if that that Hot Wings Cafe video where they were, someone gets robbed and then like, like three minutes later, me and you walk in there, Gabriel, imagine how what the day would be like. And we say, our wallets just got taken outside. But can we please have wings?

Starting point is 00:20:39 Michi, hungy, Michi, wangy. He like rubs his eyes and it's like, there's two of them. Weigar saw me pull a Michi Wanswangi and it worked. I did pull a Michi Wanswangi once. That's true. And Nashville, remember why? Because I got the burger. Michi Wad, hot fried chicken, please.

Starting point is 00:21:01 They were, this was at Nashville, they were at a bar. They had closed the kitchen and Mitch made himself pathetic enough where the grill man was willing to be like, all right, fine, I'll make you a fucking burger. That is not how it went at all. The YKS guys can speak to this. I went up there and I was like, they're like, we're cutting, we're shutting down the, we're shutting down the grill. And I like, they were like, there's no more burgers.

Starting point is 00:21:29 I was like, ah, damn, I wanted to try it. That's all I said. I was like, oh, damn, I wanted to try the burger. And the guy was like, you know what? It looks like you could use a burger. Wow. You're, you're, we got to get some meat on your bones. Get, let's get this guy a burger.

Starting point is 00:21:43 They cook me up a burger. You're one of the leaner people in Nashville, Tennessee. You're a bodybuilder in Dallas. I got up on stage and rocked to the house after that. Literally. I thought that was, I thought that was after the show. I got up on stage in the house till that house. People confuse.

Starting point is 00:22:09 We're not on water. Are we? Why does it feel like we're on the boat? Seasick watching this podcast live podcast. Gabriel's speaking of singing. No, I was going to, I was going to pick. First of all, we were having trouble with the drop beforehand and that I just forgot about the drop completely.

Starting point is 00:22:30 Yes. And you said that you would improvise a drop. So can we make you do that right now? If you do that right now, can we force you to do that? Mike Mitchell school of improv. You casually mentioned saving my ass when I forgot something. Can I pimp you into doing it anyway? I go, yeah.

Starting point is 00:22:55 Remember how you said when I was really sick, you would take my friend out to dinner when he visited? I was like, yeah, I was like three years ago. You're like, I'm not sick now, but he's here. Can you do it? I can't tell. Whatever that situation is. No, I was going to do a fake, like someone cut together

Starting point is 00:23:10 a bunch of clips of the show. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm sorry. Yeah. No, that's okay. I mean, we could still do it now, but I was going to riff it and it was going to be garbage.

Starting point is 00:23:19 Yeah. I can't sing. I can't, I don't sing in front of people. No one has ever seen that. Can I just, can I just say quickly? Mitchy wants dropy. All right. You look like you could use a drop.

Starting point is 00:23:34 No, I'm kidding. Don't do it. Final Fantasy Music. Final Fantasy Music. Final Fantasy Music. Come, come, come. Well, that was perfect. Would have been one of the better ones, honestly.

Starting point is 00:23:51 I'll say my favorite, a chicken prep I like is just a rotisserie bird. And love a roti. Just a nice, a nice rotisserie bird, whether it's from a high-end, low-end, whether it's from the grocery store or Costco, like I'll still, I'm still down with it. And I would say also that- You told me this, you go cloaca first, right? You eat right, you go right to the cloaca. From the inside out is how he used the reference he made.

Starting point is 00:24:22 And I was like, I don't even know how that happens. Skin, it's like a skin tent. This is how I, it's like the weird Reese's commercial now. It's like, this is how I eat a rotisserie. So you spread the legs open, you go down to the cloaca-wise. Yeah, then I work my way out from there. I've missed chicken the most over this past year of not eating any meat. And I will say, as of this record, I have had fish a couple of times.

Starting point is 00:24:53 I had myself, I had a BK fish sandwich, big fish sandwich, which was delightful. I told you Mitch, just a little too bunny, but it was, it was quite good. I had that on Monday and then Natalie made a lovely cod. I had a cod filet and that was very, very good. But I have not eaten anything from the land or air yet. I don't know if I'm going back to red meat, but I am going to have some chicken tonight for the first time since 2020 on camera. So we're going to try that in a few minutes.

Starting point is 00:25:19 That's Nick Wiger's music. He's eating chicken in the back. Wiger runs out with two little wings. Leaps off the balcony. The chat is, the chat is going fucking crazy. This is a lot of welles in here. A lot of animal haters in the- God, they're going in, they're going insane.

Starting point is 00:25:42 Yeah, waterproof your computers, everybody. Put down some raincoats. I have a Rick Ross, a Rick Ross ashtray. It's going to get way dirtier soon. So I just wanted to say, like in honor of our chain today, Rick Ross is sort of their spokesperson and a franchisee. I want to shout out Ricky Rose. I'm also wearing a Maybach music group, a big chain and that's his label.

Starting point is 00:26:08 Wow. And yes, I own both of those things. Kind of looks like Macho's chain from Despicable Me Too. He's great. He's great on that Kanye song, Devil in a New Dress. Great song. Great song. Hmm.

Starting point is 00:26:24 I mean, that's, I don't know enough Rick Ross. I should know more. Anyways, why it's funny that you're breaking your, you're breaking your no meat shall you eat. That's right. On a day, I think it's today. I think it's breaking shoes that the KFC, what is it called? What's the chicken called?

Starting point is 00:26:44 The impossible chicken? Yeah. That's going nationwide. Beyond chicken. Beyond chicken. Wow. Yeah. Wow.

Starting point is 00:26:50 This is a, this is KFC, of course, part of the Yum Brands Triumvirate. We've got KFC Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. Yes. So then going national with, with Beyond Chicken is pretty big. We'll have to revisit that. That's how I pray at night. What was it like? KFC Taco Bell and Pizza Hut.

Starting point is 00:27:07 Spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch. You know, Mitch, you're about to take a little trip abroad. You're going to Costa Rica. That's right. Why? So I'm going to Costa Rica with the family. It's going to be a lot of fun. Going to maybe see a monkey.

Starting point is 00:27:25 Oh, that's fun. Going to maybe see a bird. Just that. Just a one monkey, one bird. That's it. Hey, that sounds like a heck of a vacay. And you know what? Knowing some Spanish might be helpful down there.

Thighstop was launched in 2021 as a sub-brand of Wingstop, as was mentioned in the intro. It was initially available online only. I believe you can get it in store now, although I got it off of the app myself. And Thighs have now been integrated into the main menu at Wingstop.

Starting point is 00:31:25 So you can get yourself some Thighstop at Wingstop. They'll slap a little Thighstop label on the bag, but it's the same company, same store. And I mean, let's get into it. Gabriel, you mentioned earlier that you like yourself a fried chicken thigh. Where do you... Thighs versus wings, I guess, it's a dark meat, white meat sort of, you know, either or, but I don't know. I mean, like, I'll say that personally, I prefer dark meat in general, but I do really like just eating a wing. It's just like it's such a fun sort of thing.

Starting point is 00:31:53 I think a wing is technically dark meat as well. I think you're not getting into white meat until you're getting the breasts. Really? It's just that. Yeah. I believe so. When I get the half-white or the quarter-white, I feel like it's got the breast of the wing attached, but maybe it is dark meat along with the... Ooh, maybe. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.

Starting point is 00:32:11 I'm not... Despite having consumed an entire lineage of these fucking yard birds, I do not know the answer to that question. Like, I don't know. For someone who's eating, I should have known a slightly... You know, like, our ancestors hunted their food they ate. I'm eating thousands of their legs a year. And I don't even know if it's dark meat or not. People are saying white in the chat. They're saying...

Starting point is 00:32:35 People are saying... Yeah, people have been saying that for a long time on the internet. People are screaming white on the internet. Yeah, no shit. Oh, yeah. No good point. They are just... Yeah, they're yelling white over and over again. Don't read the other... Don't read the other comment that comes after. Oh, Roxy's here. Hi, Roxy.

Starting point is 00:32:55 Thanks for checking in. How the fuck did you see anything going by? It's been non-stop since you said you were going to eat meat again. Yeah, I know. Oh, Kevin T. Porter. Is that Kevin? It's someone with a username, Kevin T. Porter. I don't know if that is the Kevin T. Porter. Oh, you fuck. You fuck. You fake.

Starting point is 00:33:10 Hi, Kevin. Oh, maybe it's him. Better be Kevin. Oh, Kevin is the real thing, for sure. Homie dropped off a nice slice of fucking Blondie and Brownie for your boy here. It was fantastic. Oh, goodness. Those Kevin Bacon cookies, if you haven't had them, Kevin Bacon, B-A-K-I-N,

Starting point is 00:33:29 check them out. They are delicious. They are delightful. They are for delivery here, or at least war in the LA area. I'm not sure if they've expanded anywhere, but last time I had them. They'll be in Walmarts in like six months. And we got Ross. What's up, Ross? Kevin's going to end up being our richest friend out of nowhere. A cookie maven. And you're going to be like, oh, motherfucker, Hollywood is the wrong choice.

Starting point is 00:33:53 Well, we got Libby Watson here. We got a past guest of the show. We have Ross Kimball here, past guest of the show. Ross in there. How about that? Thanks, everyone, for hopping in. Wait, I got a question for all of them, for Kevin, Libby, Ross. What the fuck are you guys, what are you doing?

Starting point is 00:34:06 Go enjoy yourselves. I'm finally listening to a podcast, my favorite way at someone else's schedule. This is going to be in your pocket in like two weeks. Don't do it, but stay on. You might see something crazy. Like Wyger eating chicken, holding it in between his legs and then finishing it with no hands.

Starting point is 00:34:27 OK. Putting the thigh and thigh stop over there, sweetheart. Mitch, what did you get from the thigh stop? You were having some tummy troubles before we started. No, I just told you that I was afraid that I was going to have to go to the bathroom on the stream, which is not too. Yeah. We told you you could walk away.

Starting point is 00:34:50 We told you you could walk away and leave the laptop and just go to them. Just bring your mic and talk to us while you do it. But we don't have to see it. I got I got quiet. I got well, look, if it comes to that, I will do it. I got I got quite a lot. I don't want to see your koalic on camera or whatever that thing is called. Is it a koalic where you shit piss, come and drop eggs out of?

Starting point is 00:35:11 He's down there, too. Koalaka. Koalaka. Koalic. But I call it a koalic. Red leather, yellow leather, koalic, koalaka. I got quite a bit from Wingstop. I'll say that.

Starting point is 00:35:34 Oh, now I just thank you. Thank you for being brave. Now now I'm looking at my I'm trying to find my hurry. Here it is. Here's my order. I found I found my order. So wow. I, of course, why I got I'm going to say off the bat.

Starting point is 00:35:47 I got some wings to do to kind of do a base level wings versus thigh thing. But it's mostly come here. It's mostly Wally's here. Hi, Wally. Should I show everyone Wally's cloaca? Yes, please. Wow, which is fun. He's cat around the show.

Starting point is 00:36:15 Little backdoor action here on the camera on the Twitch. We got to see Wally's bussy on camera. Definitely didn't use that right at all. Oh, shit. Why you're pulling out the back? Oh, he's got a gun. Don't act surprised. I'm going to say when that finally happens, a fucking about time.

Starting point is 00:36:42 I don't know why it hasn't happened already. Mitch, I thought you were going to tell us what you ordered. I am. So I got, I got some, I got some wings just as the base to try them out. Of course. I mean, I've had them plenty of times. I just got wings. Anyways, I got 15 wings, nine Louisiana rub, six mild, and I got those with some ranch.

Starting point is 00:37:02 Now, before that, I was going to, I was going to order up the, the thighs just by the thigh. You can, and there's like 10. There's like a 10 pack, which gave you two different sauces. And then Gabriel's, when I told you my order, you were like, yeah, I think 10 thighs will be good enough for you. I'm like, oh yeah, that's a ton of like one thigh is huge. This isn't wins. And they're not, not to interject during your layout of your phone,

Starting point is 00:37:27 but the thighs are not as big as I imagined when I said, oh, 10 thighs is like, they are only a little bigger than the flats, to be honest. They're like, you know, twice the size of a flat. I could eat 10. I'm going to hold one up here to camera. There you go. For scale, do you want to pull out your hog and put it next to it? Oh, Jesus.

Starting point is 00:37:47 For scale, do you want to place that in your, your ether and a Mitch golf out of it? If you fucking, that's like pulling more like D ball or Wiger, me and Mitch have golf teas. That's like when you were like, you think the Milky Way galaxy is big, and then you pull out and it's just like a star next to what's, what are the other galaxies? I don't know. Wiger's has a big hog. That's what I was trying to say. Anyways, we know.

Starting point is 00:38:11 Anyways, we all know. I got some, I got some thigh bites. I got some thigh bites as well. I get some thigh bites as well. And I'm holding these up. I'm not going to touch these with my hand because these are the atomic ones, which are the absolute hottest. So I'm going to, I'm going to knife and fork these so I don't get the spicy fingers,

Starting point is 00:38:28 which tend to linger. So Wags, if you, if you have spicy fingers and you touch your hog, when do you feel, when do you feel that sensation? Is it like a couple days? It's like a Brontosaurus tail. Jesus. Anyways. I want to commend Wags strategy of getting the hottest wing as the.

Starting point is 00:38:50 Has it come back? As the, no, no, as the non no bone. So like that'll limit the amount you get like on your face and you can knife and fork it, which is a really smart move. I want to commend that. Good move. Thank you for saying that. I'm a bit of a heat seeker, but you know,

Starting point is 00:39:04 I don't like the spicy lips. I don't like the spicy fingers. No, especially live stream. I can manage it if it was the three of us just chowing down like before the live show together somewhere, you know, but on camera, I, on camera, I left some thigh bites to eat in case I got hungry as I got higher. But, uh, I, my way, uh, oh, I should also take this second to say, uh, I'm sorry to Tiffany.

Starting point is 00:39:25 I left the remnants of, you know, my insane wing order just on the coffee table and ran in here to do the show. Cause, uh, like slightly more on time than Wiger's, uh, I mine arrived at 5 30, but I had to jam it down pretty quick while I watched and just like that. I ordered mine at 4 30 and they arrived around five 15. Um, so I still got some stuff sitting here, but Gabers, I also, for my, for my thigh bites, I got the, the spiciest level of heat on those, which for me was only smart, which was only occasion. That was my, that was, that was the highest level I did.

Starting point is 00:40:02 The thigh bites, look, I'll get into them, but the thigh bites, how are the thigh bites in the other, the boneless wings different? I don't know what they are. I don't think, I don't think they're like a little, a little less meaty. They're like, you know, like in like, they're like a little bit more like popcorn chicken, the chicken thighs in a weird way. It's like a little, if I actually, I should have ordered their regular, uh, boneless wings to get an idea.

Starting point is 00:40:30 I didn't, I should, I should have done that. But the thigh poppers felt a little bit like, for lack of a better explanation, like, uh, general so's chicken kind of shapes, you know, it's like lumpy and fried enough. It's mostly fried batter with just a little bit of a chicken in there. I think that's what the thighs feel like to me, but not, not a complaint. I do, I did like them. I mean, we'll get to it more and more, obviously. But I, I, I will say this, they gave you so many thigh, like I got the smaller version of it. I got so many thigh bites. It's insane.

Starting point is 00:41:01 Yeah. I got, I got like a family's Long John Silver's order. It looks like the amount of thigh bites. Wait, maybe I can show. I got the small end. I've been eating it for like an hour and it's just like, I still have some. Yeah. I got the small, you're absolutely right to compare it to like a, you know, a general so's or a, or an orange chicken. It's that kind of form factor. They're a little, maybe a little bit larger and meatier than what you'd get at a, at a Panda Express, but they're about that size and shape.

Starting point is 00:41:34 And yeah, I got a couple bone in thighs, of course. Yes. I'm not going to get, I'm not going to get bone in thighs. I got two in two. So I got four thighs altogether, but I got the, I got the original hot for two of them. And then the other two was a, another flavor I got with the wings, the Louisiana rub. Oh, we like to rub it down here in Louisiana down on the bayou, a New Orleans massage power. Give me that Louisiana rub. Louisiana rub. Full release by Mona Mee. Mr. Kraft. How are you doing there, sir? Hope you enjoyed your Antou Faye. Now let me go ahead and jerk you off.

Starting point is 00:42:21 Wait a minute. Would you like the full Gronk, Mr. Kraft? Wait a minute. So the guy who says Louisiana rub is the guy who's, who's tugging people off? Yeah. It's the same guy. That's how they can do it down here on the bayou. May I introduce you in some, to some crawdads in a jackoff sesh? I was down in New Orleans recently. You were, you were working in New Orleans, which is very exciting. I was down there. I was down there in November, not working though.

Starting point is 00:42:56 It's, it's, it's, I mean, honestly, it was a little scary because of COVID stuff, but it didn't hit until like, it got much worse a couple of weeks later, but it was a, but it was when I went in November was the day they lifted the mask mandate. And that was just like, completely overwhelmed, but in five minutes on board. I was just like, maskless in a concert hall. Like guys playing trumpet with like saliva spraying at a trombone, saliva shooting into my open eyes. I'm just like, I gotta go home and rinse my fruit before I eat it. I didn't get COVID there, but I did get it from my wife in my living room. Jeez. Wow. Look, motherfucker. We were going to tour in a lot of more places. It's still

Starting point is 00:43:40 going to happen. Anyways, I got those bone and ties. Like I said, original hot Cajun. And then I got a couple of apps. I got the Cajun fried corn and the Louisiana Voodoo fras. So I got some, which by the way, Wingstop is becoming very much like a Lou, like it's really taken on the Louisiana thing. Huh? Like it feels like the Popeye's strategy. Yeah. That was Popeye's rebranded as Popeye's Louisiana kitchen and really, really leaned into their, you know, Louisiana roots. Mm hmm. I'd love to tell you how the Cajun fried corn is, but I didn't get it. You didn't get it. It didn't arrive. So I didn't get the Cajun fried corn. I also ordered a dessert.

Starting point is 00:44:23 I ordered a triple chocolate chunk brownie. By the way, you got them. I did get the Cajun fried corn and you know what? That'll be the first thing I eat on camera. I'm very self-conscious about eating corn on camera, but I'm going to do it. No one gives a shit about this. Break the seal with that. You know what I mean? Then you'll be, then you can fucking eat wings. No one gives a shit about the fucking fried corn. How is it? That's not bad. The seasoning is good. I'm not sure what exactly makes it fried. Because if you would have said this was steamed, I would have been like, yeah, this is steamed corn or boiled corn, but it's interesting. The texture isn't any different,

Starting point is 00:45:01 but the flavor of the seasoning is quite good. People saying you eat corn weird. Yeah. Well, it's a weird shape of corn. It's not his fault. I like a wing place. You're not supposed to eat corn the long way, Lags. You're not supposed to put it in your mouth and pull it out with just the cob, like a Heathcliff eating a fish. I like the idea. I didn't get the corn. I like the idea, though, because wing places need side alts besides fries because you kind of need to break up wings a little bit. You can't just eat like, because I'm talking, I'm eating at least two dozen if I'm having just wings as my course, you know, so you don't want to just plow through that.

Starting point is 00:45:43 You need a side salad, but every place only traditionally just really offers fries and I don't necessarily love to reach for a fry in between wings and fries are also traditionally one of the worst delivery foods at least. Yes. And that was, you know what, that was a part of the so I got, like I said, I got that. I got, well, I got that Louisiana food, the Louisiana food of fries. I got those two. And that comes with cheese sauce gamers and what is it ranch cheese sauce and ranch on them or is it sour cream? It's something spicy, too. There's something a little spicy. It's like a spicy ranch. They have like the basically what the Cajun, the, the Cajun rub, whatever that is. They also sprinkle that on top of the fries,

Starting point is 00:46:24 which wags. I got a steal from your book here, a little ungepochka. It just doesn't, it doesn't work for me a hundred percent. Yeah. It's cheese and ranch together. It might, it might be, you know, like ungepochka, like they're too similar in textures, like the melty cheese and the ranch. It's like the cheese sauce. Yeah. Yeah. The cheese sauce. If I get like an Irish nachos, that's like some fries with some, some shredded cheese on it and some, some green onions or something. And I can dip that in ranch. In fact, that's quite nice. Yeah. I'm with, I'm with you on that too. Here, I mean, this is my little side sauce plate, my ramekin of sauce ramekins. In there, you'll notice the cheese sauce. I tried that with a plain chicken thigh and I,

Starting point is 00:47:11 it kind of worked. Wow. It worked as a dip. Wise, can I just tell you, they're just nachos. Weigher came over and I made them nachos. He keeps calling them, well, Irish nachos. Just because you were... I like a good Irish nacho. You know who has a good Irish nacho? Tamo shanter. They got some interesting Irish nachos over there. I was going to say the big cat from, from Quincy. Oh, the fat cat. The fat cat. I'm sorry, I'm not the big cat. We're talking about it so many times. I went there during the doathon for God's sakes. Sorry. It's cause you look like big the cat that that was in my head.

Starting point is 00:47:52 You remember that crystal clear stream I did where Dano and I drove around? That's right. Here is, here is... He's talking about that time you drank a bunch of water and had that crystal clear stream. For the first time in your life. Call the doctor. He's not yellow. So here, here's, here's my drink. I got myself a Coke zero and I also am getting self-conscious because my claws, the Nosferatu fingernails.

Starting point is 00:48:23 You're worried about holding... Mitch, this is, you and I are of the same mind here because we had very self-conscious because people fixate on things when you're on camera. I literally trimmed my fingernails today because I was like, my fingernails are getting long and I don't want my long nails to be commented on and now people are coming on some other bullshit, but... Oh yeah, Mitch. That was fucked up. Put that away. Yeah. That was, that was twisted. I'm not happy. But while we're being vulnerable as friends and men, I'll say I have my hat pulled down pretty low because my forehead broke out from working out and hiking with like a headband on again, like sweaty and I guess greasy or something. So I have my hat pulled down real low.

Starting point is 00:49:05 So I'm, I'm, I'm letting you know I'm self-conscious because especially my white forehead with the glow of my computer monitor, that's going to be all you guys see on the street. So I'm like, I'm fully like this. People in the chat want to know what I'm drinking. I'm drinking a Keef cannabis infused root beer. I didn't, I'm not drinking, I'm trying not to drink in January and I needed something that paired with the wings because I'll dovetail this into a mini review. Everything that was dry was salty. Yes. Anything that wasn't sourced was salty. Can I also say, I may also say everything that was dry was crispy. Yes. Interesting. V crispy. Sometimes too crispy. All right. Interesting. I was going to say this before

Starting point is 00:49:51 this all started. You showed Emma your, your root beer, your cannabis root beer and you guys did a virtual high five basically. And in my mind, I'm, I'm jealous that I don't like enjoy weed as much anymore. Excuse me. Jesus. Because bone lands on your microphone. A full thigh. Looks like a human thigh. But uh, but uh, because cannabis, they do, I've never called it cannabis my life. They do, they do, they do like a, it feels like the Taco Bell of the, of, of that world where they're mixing it with root beer. They're trying to like put it into stuff that tastes good. It's great. Dude, I have a drawer full of edibles here that I have like,

Starting point is 00:50:45 sriracha crackers that are dosed. I have olive oil that's dosed, chocolate covered almonds, like all, like all kinds of different edibles that are like top quality stuff. Honestly, most of the sweets I eat, I barely, I rarely eat any sweets. Maybe. All right. Ice cream is the only sweet I eat that doesn't have DHC in it. I can't bring myself to eat cookies if I'm like, you're going to eat two weed cookies. You can't eat two weed cookies that have two citizen cookies, uh, normie cookies. People are making fun of me because I said cannabis is the Taco Bell of quote unquote, that world, which I didn't have anything else. I didn't have anything better to say. I mean, that is no idea of what you even meant by it.

Starting point is 00:51:23 I was just going to just start talking. I'm going to do my thing where I just keep talking and be like, yeah, we'll roll that into something. You get, you get is that Taco Bell is always doing weird creation. Like they're doing weird. Well, that's not to stereotype, but like Taco Bell knows its audience, which is like stoner energy. That's who has more stoner energy than people purchasing cannabis. Yes. And that's why you get the weird, the weird root beer stuff. It's great. I mean, I think that's awesome. I genuinely like it. Uh, people call me the funny daddy. Why people call me the funny daddy. Stop looking at the chat. This is just like looking at the Reddit in real time. Like just stay out of there. Stop looking at the chat.

Starting point is 00:52:02 My absolute fucking nightmare. Actually, it's only 21 milligrams. Oh, no, I activated the, uh, the fucking, um, actually, or the, actually, everything. Adam Conover pops up. Actually, I'm going to go ahead and have a wing because people did speaking of the chat, which I also have been browsing. Hold on. Let's everyone chant wing wing. Wait, hold on. Hold on. Wait, wait. I said thigh. It's thigh. Everyone should be chanting thigh. Sorry. All right. Everyone chant thigh. All right. Everyone chant thigh, thigh, thigh, thigh, thigh, thigh. People are still chanting wing thigh. Okay. That's fine. I'm getting a Cajun. I'm having a Cajun.

Starting point is 00:52:45 Cajun. I'm going to have a bite. This is my first meat since December 2020. Here we go. Oh, wow. Oh, the meat shall he eat. Oh my God. Gabor's imagine if he went into like shock, he just starts fucking. What if, what if he fell down, stood back up and he was as fat as us in one bite of meat? My worst nightmare. He likes talks, talks about that too much and you and I get so emotionally distraught. No, this is the worst possible thing that could happen to be this size. And me and you are like, me and you in 75% of the Twitch chat. Wags, what are you experiencing? Have you missed the taste? Tell us everything.

Starting point is 00:53:40 I mean, first off, wow. It's really, you know, I love chicken so much. And it's, I do whatever at some level. It's biological, but this is so delicious. Like even though I know intellectually that this is not like a great thigh, you know, it's a little dry. It's certainly partly because it's been sitting for, you know, half hour plus now. It's a little longer than that. It's closer to room temp than hot, but it is so, so tasty. It is so good. And I got, this is the Cajun one. This is the Cajun heat. The dry Cajun rub one? Yeah, the dry Cajun rub one. Yeah, yeah. No, I'm sorry. This is the Louisiana rub. I apologize. Natalie got the Cajun. This is the

Starting point is 00:54:28 Louisiana rub. Yeah, you recommended that one to me and I really enjoyed it. Just the Louisiana rub is great. Nice and flavorful. That is really good. If there was a Big Mac at Wingstop, it's that they're Louisiana rub flavor. Why is people are, are, are, are proclaiming that this day should be known as thigh's giving the day that Wiger came back to meet. And I, I kind of like it. The thigh's giving feast is what I call it when I rock the speed a lot, fucking Malibu. Time for thighs giving dinner, kids. Not adults, I mean. Now I'm drinking a little thing called can. They're like little two milligram can. Wow. So just so people know,

Starting point is 00:55:12 this is not a, one of those streams where we get fucked up. This is just gay risk. This is one of these streams where you don't get fucked up. I'm not going to sit at home and do fucking free comedy for these fucking monsters without getting myself a little lit. I've just turned into an ogre. I'm just like sucking on bones now. It's so Shrekification, so primal. The Shrekification, man. Second, they open a fucking ogre cold brew place. You know your neighborhood's getting Shrekified. There's rows and rows of fixie donkeys on the donkey racks. You just know your neighborhood's getting Shrekified.

Starting point is 00:55:59 I got 50 wings, eight thighs, two orders of fries. Tiffany had like three things. 50 wings. You told Nick and I this that you were like, I got 50 wings and Weigar's response to you was very funny in that I can find the exact wording of it where he was like, I don't know if I'll go that crazy, but that's a good order. Yeah, it was literally like, I might not go that in depth, but that's a solid order, friend. 50 wings is very, just at the start, we're like, Hey, Gabriel, so will you do thigh stop? Yeah, sure thing. And then you, and then right off the bat, 50 wings. Yeah. Well, I like to try the sauces. I like, like at a place like this where it's not like,

Starting point is 00:56:50 and no offense to Wingstop, I'm a fan of the chain, but you're not going to a fast food chain for super quality meat. You can get that elsewhere. So when once I'm absolved of that, I'm like, Ooh, the variety of sauces makes consumption, you can consume more as you guys know from my nugget power hour strategy of switching up the sauces allowed me to be the only one to ever complete that absolutely disgusting feet. I got to try it again. But yeah, let's go. Let's go. Oh, my 40th birthday is coming up. That'd be fun. Die on that day instead of a random day hitting the fucking stairs at Mitch's apartment. While Weigar blasts down some flavors, I want to try a bunch of flavors. So let me just rattle off what I, what I ordered,

Starting point is 00:57:36 please, because you can break, you can break up orders of 10 into fives and you can break up orders of 20 into three, you can get three different flavors. So I got five mango habanero, five original hot, those are my spicy, seven mild, seven lemon pepper, six Hawaiian, seven spicy Korean, seven hickory smoked barbecue, six garlic parmesan. And then I got the Louisiana regular thigh bites. Then I got lemon pepper thighs and then I got plain thighs. It does, I didn't go with the sauce thigh. Does, does, does Wingstop have like any sort of doomsday whistle because me, you and Weigar all ordered delivery from them around the same time. Oh yeah. No one came in an ambulance and asked if I needed a ride back to where I'm

Starting point is 00:58:24 should be, where I'm going to be need to go and I was hooked up in there to eat this on the drive to Cedar Sinai kid. Hey Gabriel. Hey Gabriel. Oh, are you getting this for the Doughboy stream? Sick. If you can call me out, my name is Colin Joest. Yeah, I know it's crazy. Yeah, I know that's weird. My mom's a huge SNL fan. Is Joest from, no, he's, is Joest a Staten Island boy? Not Long Island. Very different, very different. Are they? I mean, I know one's a burrow, but they have a lot of similarities, a lot of similar energies, but they, they differentiate a lot. We were talking about before the show, Gabriel, and I just want to revisit it because it was funny

Starting point is 00:59:14 that I, I saw a clip that like there's like mafia movie, Instagrams, and I saw a clip of Bronx Tale. It's like the lineup of Bronx Tale and it's very funny to read the comments of very New Yorkie guys being like, fucking best movie I've ever seen. And then taking the wrong lessons from them to being like, uh, that is what you're supposed to do to girls in cause. Like, whoa, you know, should be in the bathroom. It is really, there's, there's multiple mafia movie accounts and they're all the same, like the same ecosystem of dumb guys commenting, big dumb Italian guys being like, you know, Carlitos way. That's the way of life. Yeah, you never rat. Never rat. That's the levar.

Starting point is 01:00:04 Never rat. Never rat, but I am the guy that called the cops. The second I saw kids run through my backyard playing manhunt. I love mob movies. I've never been to Italy because I'm afraid to fly, but I'm fucking crazy. I live in Long Island. I love mob movies. That's how Italian I am. Don't rat on your friends. I have a blue lives matter flag as my avatar on Facebook. I'm talking some Long Island and Staten Island similarity. Yeah, that's a very confusing world. I don't know how it is very confusing. I believe in both things too, by the way. Anyways, go on. Wait, was I saying something? Who was talking?

Starting point is 01:00:45 No, Mitch is backing out of his own joke. I was saying that I have some blue lives matters. We'll leave you hanging. And so I was just anyone to talk. And then, and then, and then you just gave up on me. Well, you get, you gave up. Wags. Should we hear something I say every Valentine's Day? Should we dive into these thighs? You say that sounds like you're with a group of people. You're just talking to your wife. I'm talking to Greg Luganus who's on a high dive and he's completely lubed up in my thighs and he's going to try to shoot through them from the high. But don't worry. We have a condom on. This is insane. What am I talking about?

Starting point is 01:01:31 This is going to air right on the podcast. I should slow down. I shouldn't treat this like it's a straight up little twitchy thing, you know, just for the freaks that are available. This shit can get sent around. This shit can get sent. Let's talk thigh specifics. Why? Yes. Talk to us about the thigh. I mean, I know you haven't had a lot of chicken recently to compare it to, but four wingstop versus their wings. Like, how do you feel about this thigh expansion? I'm really expansion. They keep coming. Oh, Oh, another Olympian you want to reference?

Starting point is 01:02:09 Dan and Dave fucking cheaters. Emma was asking in our private chat was the lemon pepper too salty. And that was going to be my note. It's got a good lemon pepper flavor, but yeah, a little heavy on the sodium. Give me the salt. I'm a salt boy. I love salt, but it was just a little too salty. I agree. The lemon pepper, I thought if I had like a fire off of five word review, I don't even know how many words this was going to be. So a short review, it would be dry wings, too salty, wet wings, too sweet. Yeah, I think that's fair. Interesting. But that might be an overall of like mediocre wings. Like that might be just an overall

Starting point is 01:02:51 review of mediocre wings too. I think the Louisiana rub was, was quite good actually. I think the Louisiana rub was nice and balanced, a good flavor. I really like that one. I inadvertently got two dry thighs. I didn't realize it. And, but I got, I got two sets of the dry bone in thighs. And then I got the, the atomic thigh bites, the atomic thigh bites have good heat. You know, I will say for their hottest thing, as something of a heat secret doesn't blow me away. It's not like the kind of thing where I have that and I'm just like, like, like, who, ha, ha, ha, ha, you know, I got to cool down. It's, it's not like getting a, wait, so that usually happens? You eat something really spicy and you go,

Starting point is 01:03:28 and you're chopping all around. Yeah, I get some steam coming out of my ears. Let me tell you something. Fire Marshall Bill. No one, no one in the chat was alive when that was on. No one. No one in the chat is alive when this episode comes out. That's a guarantee. This is the ring. This Twitch stream is the new ring. Like you're going to die a week after watching this. Hi, buddy. What are you watching, buddy? Drives you to suicide. Come and knock on my door.

Starting point is 01:04:14 The, the Cajun was, was, first off, I'll say that the meat overall of the thigh, I prefer thighs to wings. And I say that the meat is maybe a little bit drier than I prefer, but I can't hold that, but I hold it that much against them because, you know, part of it was just it, it's ordering at a busy time of night on a Friday night and then having it sitting for a little bit. I, I can't, you know, I didn't have like, like, like the best, the most controlled version of this, but the, the flavor on the, on the Louisiana rub, I thought was quite good, the regular and that the lemon pepper, same thing. I'm laughing because I'm laughing, I'm laughing because we're like, no one was alive with that. And then people in the chat

Starting point is 01:04:54 are yelling, I'm a 48 year old man. There's people in the chat just yelling. I'm an old man. This is basically what people are yelling out. My grown kids cut me off. My daughter set this up for me. I don't have no Twitch on my computer. Brock's Tale is one of the best movies. Same guy. It was a fucking one man show. It was a theater show. Oh, no, I can't. Why did you get, did you know it was Joe Mantega's like one, or no, who's one man? Chaspalmantary. Chaspalmantary, isn't it? Chaspalmantary. Chaspalmantary. Yes. I got, I got him in Joe Mantega confused. It's sort of weirdly racist somehow.

Starting point is 01:05:37 No. Aren't you Italian? Yeah, I know. I think I just, I just got thrown out of the San Gennaro feast. My favorite thing about it is like, there's like bells ring in the background of someone and like, you just seeing these guys be like, I never noticed that before. The mise in sense, the mise in scene and the step in the, in the, in the scene is great. You're like, you looked up this shit. You never cared about movies in your life. You like five movies, all mafia movies. I follow a lot of action movie Instagrams that are sort of in the same vein where it's like a clear spider web of probably the same people owning all the fucking

Starting point is 01:06:14 Instagrams because they kind of like rotate content around. And it's probably the same group of mouth breathers on all of the accounts, but it's always like, he would have fucking whooped so and so his ass. It's like, it's like Stallone. We can fucking beat Van Damme's ass. And you're like, what? Like this is what you're talking about. You're not 20. Cause then you don't care about Stallone and Van Damme. If you care about Stallone and Van Damme, you're like, the youngest you could be is 35 or something. That's when tomorrow came out, I was like, I want to like, you know, like I was looking at YouTube to see people comment on like, you know, the action scenes or whatever. And so, and I would look it up and it would be like,

Starting point is 01:06:50 I didn't see one reload the entire time. I'm like, Jesus Christ. Yeah. Gunfreaks are a whole, whole subculture there of action movie fan culture. Yeah. Gunfreaks are, believe it or not, gunfreaks are freaks and terrifying. Anyways, back to wings, back to thigh stuff. I was going to say the, the, I'll just, just real quick, the thigh bites, which I normally wouldn't get. Okay. I'm going to a little bit of afterburn right now from the couple of atomic I just down the thigh bites, which I normally wouldn't get. I'd normally, I prefer the bone in I do like them quite a bit better than the boneless wings. I think they just have like a,

Starting point is 01:07:29 like a, like a better form factor, a better texture, you know, but also honestly, I should be doing a comparison because it's been so long since I've had the boneless wings. Yeah. Would you say it's like sort of like the thigh, the, the boneless thigh to the boneless wing is as I'm losing, I'm losing the thread here. Chicken tender is to chicken finger. Oh, interesting. Because I feel like the thigh is making me, the batter is a little bit more of like the lumpy sort of batter. Does that make sense? No, I think I can't really articulate what I'm talking about. Yeah. I'm also not sure if that's like a, if chicken fingers and chicken tenders

Starting point is 01:08:05 are sometimes the same thing to people. I think they are to a lot of people, but in my head, in my head, they have different like, like chicken strips and chicken tenders are, I don't know what I'm talking about. They're like big nuggets versus something that looks like a boneless fried thigh. Yeah. Yeah. The, the chat is saying nugget versus tendy, which is kind of like, yeah, I get what you're saying. I think, I think that's maybe, that's maybe the demarcation. Mitch, you were about to say something like that. I wish I went with a sauce. Oh, sorry. Yeah. Now I'm doing it. No, I didn't say call nine. Oh, he's mouthing call 911.

Starting point is 01:08:40 No, he's going to have to say his address on the stream. He says he tells the operator. Are you at 69 69 Palmerston? For all intents and purposes, I moved, I'm still on Palmerston. I moved to Palmerston. I'm in, I'm in a different location. Wow. Yeah. That's right. Why? It's still Palmerston. It's Palmerston prime. Wow. What an upgrade. My co-co locker is played by Simon peg. I couldn't figure it out. I couldn't fucking remember the word. Chloeka. Chloeka works.

Starting point is 01:09:26 Chloeka. Chloeka. So when I, when I first got, when I got, when I got thigh stop, I was like, you know, is this a gimmick? I got to say they've really leaned into it. Like they've really kept them around for a while. And I'm eating this. I'm eating these thighs. I take a bite of that. Why? Guys, my bite of the night was that Louisiana rub thigh. That was my favorite bite of the whole night. I loved my chicken wings. They were really good. But my thigh was nice and crisp and also juicy, but it was, it was crisp. And that's,

Starting point is 01:10:03 with the wing stop, that's what I think that they do very well or thigh stop is that they have a good fry to their chicken. Like when I get these, when I get the wings, normally they come to my house and they, and I bite into them and they got a nice crisp. Like a nice crisp skin. They're cooked well. Yes. And that's what happened with the Louisiana rub. I was, I was, I was really enjoying it. I normally would say, look, I normally would say the wings are better than the thighs. I'm just saying tonight, my bite of the night was that thigh. It was delicious. I also got three thighs for whatever, for like, I got three Louisiana rubs and two of the hot sauce.

Starting point is 01:10:42 I was about to ask, did you get a wet, did anyone get a wet thigh? I only got dry thighs. I got, I got just the regular hot sauce, like the regular Buffalo hot sauce. And one side I bit into and I was like, ooh, I don't like this. This is too soggy. And then the other, I flipped her out of the other side and I, and it was crispy and good. So, so I thought, I thought, I actually thought that the, I actually thought that the quality of the thigh was decent. Yeah. I thought it was pretty decent. Yeah. It's a good, good thigh. I thought there were some parts of the thighs I ate that were a little like

Starting point is 01:11:13 clearly like fried air batter sticking off or like fried little like cartilage parts and stuff like that. But no, but that happens at every fried chicken place. So I'm not, I'm not taking that as a strike against it. One thing I did do was that, and earlier in my point about, you need an alt from wings in a big wing feast, you need to like jump over to something. The, I got plain chicken thighs and I got a side of their honey mustard. Wow. And it was sort of like, it was enough of a tone shift from wings to feel a little bit like a break in the palate. And I enjoyed that. I actually enjoyed the thighs, the plain thigh dipped in the honey mustard big time. It was like a,

Starting point is 01:11:55 it was, it was a real treat. Wow. That's a great move. I didn't even think of that. That's a good move. I bought nacho, I got a side of nacho cheese or the cheese sauce for the same reason to try dipping the plain fried thigh in there. That was a little, the cheese sauce is a little weak and that was a little like, that was a little hat on ungepacha or whatever. Was this, was this some of your own, um, uh, uh, cannabis honey mustard sauce from the house that you pulled out? I was whipping up my own. Yeah, I make it my own. You know, I cold press cannabis into a honey mustard sauce. I got the cheerio bee here, the be the beaver. I got the cheerio bee, the honey nut cheerio bee, the mustard, the beaver mustard and, uh,

Starting point is 01:12:39 a big ounce of weed. I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. Let's get back to these thighs. I was going to say, is the beaver, the mustard beavers at your house? Oh, you're saying you have the product? Yes. I don't know what I'm saying. You don't have to fix it. We can keep moving. Emma, leave all this in. How about we move to our final thought? I mean, it's going out live. How about we move to our final thoughts here? On thigh stop. So Gabriel, the veteran of the podcast, you know how this works, but we'll each go around, uh, give our closing argument, if you will, and end by giving it a score from zero to five forks. You're our guest. We'll begin with you. Sure. Uh, I thought basics.

Starting point is 01:13:21 Sorry, just coffee. Be careful. Should you go just in case this is the last thing you say? You might want to get your fork rating in there or else we'll have to hear it from the Reddit people. Technically, Wingstop never got the full rating because Mitch died before his turn. Asking my mom at the funeral. What, what, what do you think he would have given it? I wish he would have told us his address. We could have sent flowers. I, uh, we, you guys, we talk, you guys talk about it a lot on, we talk about it on a lot of the show. I have a weird mix of parasocial and social relationship with you guys, being both your actual friends and someone who listens to your pod, which, you know, some of those episodes

Starting point is 01:14:04 don't have me on them. So like, you know, I feel a little parasocial where I'm like, oh, I wish I was there with the guys. Uh, Eva, I should have told Eva. I wish I was, you know, I have something to go with. I can't help but talk to you guys. I'm a freak. So as we do, we say like, did it succeed in what it was trying to do, right? And like, I knew what I was getting into with Wingstop and that doesn't even mean like I'm aiming for, I'm, I'm slummin' it. I just knew that I'm getting fast food chicken wings and they fucking really do, do it. They do it. And if the review of this chain was Wingstop, I'd be in four to four and a half star territory. Wow.

Starting point is 01:14:46 But as a review of thigh stop and forgive me, I should have like, uh, confirmed this before I start, but as a review of thigh stop, I'm going to go with three and a half stars because it might just be my, I sort of disapprove of the concept. I don't disapprove of the concept. I think it's a great idea in a time of supply chain issues to add more pieces of the animal to eat. Like, give me fucking footstop. I'll eat chicken feet. Send me lemon pepper chicken feet. Kloeka stop is coming. Kloeka. That's koalas podcast. I don't even know this guy. I only know him from your pot from this podcast and I feel awful. I'm like roasting a stranger. I love you, Matt. Is that your first name? Great. I love you, Matt. We should all hang out three

Starting point is 01:15:32 and a half works three. Thank you, Mitch. I could have said that 71 minutes ago. I apologize. Yes, three and a half. Yes. To answer your question, you asked 15 minutes ago, three and a half. I think I got a case of the cron coming on cause I'm coughing like crazy all of a sudden. Oh no. I don't know if I got a little, a little Louisiana rub. He went down my throat the wrong way, Wags. Uh, it'll cost you extra. You want it down the throat, the right way or the wrong way, sweetheart? Mr. Crab. Am I too far away from the camera? I'm more relaxed sitting back. You're fine. Yeah. Yeah, you look great. Uh, no, I look like shit, but look, uh, I wondered if this was a gimmick. You could take that king sized slate gray

Starting point is 01:16:27 comforter off in front of you. Oh, never mind. Sorry. That's your hoodie that you wear. You look like one of those bear carpets, but someone threw it on the couch thinking it was like a throw blank. God damn it. Sorry. So I thought that this was maybe a gimmick, but then it's lasted a while. You know, it's funny to change the restaurant name to thigh stop. Uh, you know, like I hop did it and we didn't love it as much when they turned into I hop. Yeah. But, but like gamers are saying, I think because it's a supply chain thing, I give them just a little bit more credit. You know what I mean? I look like shit sitting back here like this. Also, fine. We can, we, I think we can safely say the jump from wing to thigh,

Starting point is 01:17:12 it's a little different than the jump from pancake to burger short for me, but I agree. The jump from pancake to burger is what Mitch calls cardio. It's a little much time. Yeah. It's a big leap, a giant leap for fucking Mitch kind. Um, I thought it was, I thought it was a gimmick and gamers. Like you said, that supply chain issues thing that makes me like, okay, I'm in for a thigh stop. I liked my thighs. I mean, I, I, I would like wing stop because it's a place to get it to me in Buffalo Wild Wings. I enjoy too, but those to me are the, are the top two wing delivery places that actually national wing delivery places that

Starting point is 01:18:01 like chain places, chain places that have good chicken that, that deliver. I mean, I'm sure people will get mad at that maybe in the chat, but like wing stop doesn't do it for me. A lot of the other wing places. Wait, this is wing stop. You're talking about the street wing street doesn't do it for me, which by the way is my new address. I'm on a, four, two, three, make a left on thigh street and head on straight into the tunnel. Thighs are not a, thighs are not a meat that I like. I don't go after. Look, chicken thighs are good, but thigh, I don't think about thighs. I mean, I think about them daily because mine rubbed together and are soaking wet most of the time, but I, I don't, I'm like thought chicken

Starting point is 01:18:48 thigh isn't my go-to order ever. I like, I'm never, so, so I was kind of pleasantly surprised. I'm like, Oh yeah. It's like fried chicken. It's something that you would get at KFC and this to me is better than what KFC usually offers. Like I enjoyed this more than I, than I would like a bucket of KFC chicken. So I don't know why is I enjoyed it. I mean, the wings are good. Of course, the sides were a little lackluster to the corn. They forgot the fries just don't travel well. Like you were saying, Gabriel said, I think if anything, I will get just plain fries and then maybe heat them up in the oven or something like that oven tournament oven fries. But as far as the wings go, the wings are great. And I'm like, I'm saying 4.5 for the wings. Wow. I

Starting point is 01:19:34 don't know. I'm not sure if it's quite 5, 5, 4, but 4.5, it's up there because they do what they do well and they're good. And it's good delivery minus two things missing from the order today, of course. And for the thighs wise, I can't go below four. I thought the thighs were really good and juicy. I'm going to go for thigh stop. I'm going for forks, for forks. Yeah. For thigh stop, very good score. Weigar, I'm sorry. Real quick, before we get to your thing, I just wanted to throw, I did not shout out the spicy Korean barbecue sauce, which was my favorite. That was my favorite of all the sauces I tried. I tried the mango habanero. I tried all the hot ones too. And they were pretty good and not brutal, like you said,

Starting point is 01:20:15 but the standout for me one I hadn't previously had that I really enjoyed was that Korean barbecue. It was like sweet tangy and then has a little hit of heat at the end. That's a quality sauce. And I think they do have a good barbecue sauce there that Natalie usually has. The hickory smoke barbecue is one of the better barbecue sauces on wings I've had, from the barbecue wing world. You made the point, both of you talked about sides, and I think they have made some cuts to their sides menu. My memory is, and I could be wrong about this, that they used to have beans, they used to have slaw. I'm sure the chat will chime in. But I think they used to have some more options there. And so I think just having fries is to

Starting point is 01:20:57 their detriment. I did get the veggie sticks. I do think they have good carrots and celery. I think that's probably honestly your best bet from there. But yeah, it would be nice if you had some sides that weren't deep fried or weren't just intensely carb loaded. Yeah, the chat is saying they remember the slaw. So here's the thing. I hadn't had chicken in so long. Chicken is so good. I love fried chicken. I love wings. I love thighs. I definitely had high hopes for this, high expectations. And they were almost met. And I think this was just like a very, very tasty, you know, well-seasoned, maybe a little too salty in the lemon pepper. But other than that, I think that the sauces and the rubs were quite nice and delivered on my expectations of them.

Starting point is 01:21:43 The meat was good quality. And I thought I'll say this about the app. The app is not crap. It's a quality app. It's very, very easy to order. You can tip on it, which is great. I scheduled my order this morning. I'm sorry to jump in there, I just wanted to say. And on the website, I was able to schedule my order this morning. The store locator found me, picked one I didn't know existed, one that's close to me that I didn't realize because it's just not a day bread I ever drive through. And the fucking site was super easy. I set it for 5.30. It was dropped on my doorstep at 5.27. Yeah. I also scheduled my delivery in advance. It was quite convenient. Yeah. The website is great. I ordered mine around 4.30. And I also, I added on a booster

Starting point is 01:22:25 shot. So I went, I got, I got, there's a lot of stuff you can get in that you can add on. Yeah. I had on. You got your ivermectin booster. Yeah. Cawking gun of horse paste up your ass and just fucking the fucking Taco Bell sour cream gun of ivermectin wise yours was late. People on the chatter on that. Yeah. Mine was late. I ordered it. It was supposed to arrive at 5.32 initially. It didn't arrive till almost six o'clock. How are people still saying happy one six, Mitch? Like we addressed this so multiple people just now. We addressed seven today. God, he's going to be president again. Jesus. Biden. Yeah, I know.

Starting point is 01:23:14 No, pilot. It's going to be a pilot. I think it's inevitable. I think, I think unfortunately it is inevitable in 2024. It's bleak. It's fine. Yeah. It's really scary. What are you going to do? So I tell you what I'm not going to do. Storm the fucking capitol. I'll tell you that much. I'm just built different that way. If Trump wins, which is very scary to me, I will not be storming the capitol. We'll see. We'll see where I am at that point. As you and John Ennis, another Mr. Show cast member. I was just on the revival on Netflix for just a moment. I know I'm saying I'm not the same. I'm saying I'm not this. I'm not. I love that guy. As for my fork score for thigh stop,

Starting point is 01:24:08 I'm going for, I'm going with a spoon man. We're going for forks. Wow. This place is solid. And also I think Wingstop is a place like Jersey Mike's. Wingstop is a place that I just order from regularly, usually for pickup of just like on my own, just like not for the podcast. That's just like a chain that I go to pretty frequently because I think their food is good quality. And it's exactly the kind of thing that I like. So yeah, I'll be going back to Wingstop this year and I'm going to be ordering some thighs. And I just want to say real quick, for those, for people who are like, like, Hey, Weiger, it's great that you stopped eating meat or I'm vegetarian. I'm really glad to see that. I'm not going to switch completely back to where

Starting point is 01:24:43 I was. I think I said this in a previous episode of the podcast, but I'm going to have some chicken. I'm going to have some poultry. I'm going to have some fish here and there. I don't think I'll have red meat, but we'll see. But I'm mostly going to be trying to eat veggie plant-based as much as possible. So I just want to, I just want to iterate that. So no one thinks that I'm just like, Oh, this was a little thing I was, I was messing around with. And then I'm now I'm back in the pendulum swinging back all the way towards carnivore. How about, how about the ultimate weight? Good for you, man. Are you going to, or the ultimate red meat? I'm saying, there's an auto-fellatio joke. That's what you're saying. Yes. The ultimate pearl meat.

Starting point is 01:25:19 Mother of pearl. I pulled my laptop close. I know you're too close. I'm too close. Now it looks like we're inside. I'm good. And you're taking a picture with the fucking security guard at the Capitol. Obviously. I was going to try to just do a thing where I just, Oh God, I look like fucking Jesus Christ. Holy shit. You're like Terry Shivo. It's fucking Jesus fucking angle. Dude, this is upsetting to me. I'm fucking flashing forward to visiting you in the hospital right now. This is like when they put a flesh filter on Grimace. How do you know about this flesh filter on Grimace, by the way? Somehow we just got, I don't know what happened with our view here, but we just had a chat pop

Starting point is 01:26:05 up. We got one, one person. You know what that was? That was the only lol we got the whole podcast. The first person uttering a laugh out loud at the Terry Shivo reference. I look like fucking Dorf plays golf. What are the like one that was just like the head? You know, like the comedy? Thumb wars? Yes. Oh, well, no, I'm not saying I look like a thumb, though I do. So thanks for the comparison. I'm saying, you know, you know the comedy where it would just be someone's head? I think that was like a stretch of comedy for a while where it was just like a guy's head. It was a, in living colors, not to keep going back to living color for the young people out there, but it wasn't in living color sketch, right? Where that's right.

Starting point is 01:26:49 He was just that cop that was copping a half or whatever. No, that was a movie. It was just a cop that was just a head with feet. Oh, right. And his partner would like throw him at him. I think it was. It was Dana Williams, right? Yeah. I don't remember. It might have been. This is an unflattering angle for anybody. So I don't want you to feel too self-conscious. This is your choice to have your laptop this close. I think it's the best I've ever looked. I mean, that also might be true, but that's more like a thing about what you look like from other angles. It's like my prom picture, which my mom has. My mom has a picture. She has my prom pic. She has my prom picture and then my picture with me and a, what's her name there,

Starting point is 01:27:30 Rose McGowan from a red car, like from a funnier die in her room on her dresser. There's like a, like a, like, but no, I mean, it's nice, but it's also a little bit like the end of what's the, what's the movie, the depressing movie about drugs that Jared Lido's in? Jared Lido. Requiem for a Dream. Yeah. It's like the end of Requiem for a Dream where in her mind, I'm like, married to Rose McGowan. Yeah. And we're on the red carpet. Ass to ass. Old man. I didn't take it out to breathe. That line stressed me the fuck out. That's, that's, that's your most quoted movie quote, right?

Starting point is 01:28:13 Ass to ass. Mitch, with this angle, can you just say, when I play JV, I would have never knelt during the national anthem. Well, I play JV. I know we're not during the national anthem. All right. Well, that's all I have COVID. I'm going to die. It looks like your skull would be shaped like a Hershey's kiss from this angle. Yeah. It's wild. Yeah. You look like the rockbiter from NeverendingStory. I do look like, I look like when Chad turns into, from weird science, when he turns into the shit pile. Oh yeah. Shit.

Starting point is 01:30:52 It's time for our segment, a single item must be banished, chicken scratch edition. These are combined by the Drop King, Robert Bersinger. So we're going to look at this one at a time and chat can play along. A single item must be banished akin to one gotta go. And to help us out with the segment, let's bring in our producer, Emma Urbrink. Hi, Emma. Yeah. Emma's here. Hi, Emma. Emma, earlier in the, in the, about close to an hour ago, put in the private chat, should I go get my vape? And then no one answered. She just replied, probably. So I also went and got a glass of wine. Oh, nice. All right. They crossfaded as you crossfade the voices. That's true. Hell yeah. I do, I do want to just, you know, take the heat off ourselves.

Starting point is 01:31:38 We shouldn't have to apologize for not responding to Emma. The private chat is the four of us and the three of us were doing a show. I didn't expect. I don't want to listen. I don't want the chat to think we were being rude. It is all like, the reason no one responded is because we, we couldn't technically. Y'all are busy. We did shout out Emma's question was the lemon pepper too salty, because indeed it was. It was, it was a little salty. It was. I mean, I didn't have any this time, but last time I had wings up, it was too salty. Yeah. Yeah. It's, because I like the lemon pepper flavor a lot, but it's just a little, a little too much salinity. All right, Emma, let's go ahead and get into this. This is a single item must be banished. Let's see the first image we

Starting point is 01:32:18 have here. All right. Here we go. All right. So this is a, this is chicken scratch edition. These are a bunch of different chicken ones. This one is chicken wing flavors. The aforementioned lemon pepper is on here as our buffalo barbecue and parmesan garlic. I'm going to go first and take parmesan garlic. Got to go. Oh man. I honestly could eliminate two. Two. Well, it exercises one. Is it lemon pepper and parmesan garlic? Hey, look, two's got to go for me. And I would get rid of that lemon, the lemon chicken. I get rid of the end. I get rid of the barbecue. I don't give a shit. Get rid of both. Okay. Can you, can you? All right. That's fair. I don't know. I like the, I like the barbecue sometimes situational. Yeah. For me, that's where I'm

Starting point is 01:32:59 on wings, mostly on boneless. Yeah. That's where I'm struggling though, is the barbecue versus parmesan garlic. Cause I do like parmesan garlic, but we already have a dry wing in the lemon pepper. And I guess I don't know. It's not like I have to choose three of these four flavors to eat. I think I'm going to, I'm going to kick out. Actually, you know what? Just based on my choice right now, based on my evening, I'm going to kick out lemon pepper, even though I love lemon pepper. Normally my mouth is just anti-lemon pepper currently. I will say that to my surprise, the chat seem consensus seems to be barbecue, a lot of barbecue in the chat. And I think the chat is onto something because most places fail at the barbecue. I do think most, most time, if, if I'm

Starting point is 01:33:44 ever at a place that's just a bar, that's not a chain or anything, it's just a bar and they're like, we have buffalo and barbecue. I always get buffalo because barbecue, they, they can fuck up too easily. There's like too much bad sauce out there or bad sauce amounts out there. People don't know what they're doing. No, that's a great, that's a great point. I agree. All right, let's move on to the next one. That's a great point. That's a great point. Oh, we're, we're adjusting. Okay. This is chicken chains. We've got Popeyes, KFC, Raising Canes, and churches. Mitch is adjusting his camera angle again. You are now lying on your back. We got a little Wally in the background. Now, I don't know, is your EMT on duty or should we

Starting point is 01:34:26 have someone come over and prop up your pillows more a little bit? We don't want to see Papa Cass over here. Yeah. Fucking the elephant, man. Maybe you should just roll onto your stomach so you're ready to be intubated. I'm, I'm, I'm honestly caught in the wires. I'm caught in my wire. Yeah. Oh, okay. Careful, buddy. Mitch, what do you think? Popeyes, KFC, Raising Canes, churches, one got to go, or I'm sorry, I apologize. A single item must be banished. I was just trying to get Wally in here too. He deserves it. I'm going to go with Now we just got Blingtron came on. What perfect placement covering Gabriel's face. How did this happen? What's up, Blingtron? Oh, Blingtron's back with KFC. Blingtron too was the only person

Starting point is 01:35:14 with the right access to the stream yard. Someone's clicking on it. That's who Emma was telling about the vape was Blingtron. I'm going to go, I'm going to go with, this is, this is actually very, very tough. I'm going to go KFC. Whoa. Mitch, me too. I agree with you. I like churches a lot. Popeyes, I would not get rid of Raising Canes. I have not had their chicken fingers yet, but I would prefer Popeyes and churches to KFC. So I think I'm going to, I think KFC, it must be banished. Yeah. Also, the Raising Canes move team is going to crush the next challenge. Wow. Whatever it is. And the dose scored. I mean, I'm on team Duncan. So that's the team that will most likely lose

Starting point is 01:35:58 is with some Quincy folk too. Wait, are you guys doing move that app that? Yeah, Gabriel, my team Raising Canes needs one more person. You want to do it? No, no, I enjoy the app, but I'm straight. That's good for me. Thank you. Fair enough. I fail. I guess I don't think I've ever had churches chicken. Is that chain in Southern California when I have seen it? Like, because I don't think I had it in New York. There aren't a lot in the LA area. I believe churches is from Texas original, originally, and there are, yeah, but, but you'll, you'll see some out here. There's, there's, there's

Starting point is 01:36:36 a bunch of them. There's, there's one in a, there's one in Glendale or there was. Yeah. I mean, like LA proper, if you go to the X herbs, if you go to like, there's one in South Pasadena, there's, yeah, but, but, but they're a little further out. I'll track one down because I've never had one. And even though I've never had one, I will take Raising Canes off just so I could try churches. But I don't love, I didn't love the Raising Canes tendies when, when I had them. And I don't also love, I don't really love like chick. I like, I like the bone in a lot. So for me, I want KFC there. I want the nasty mashed potato, bowl, shit, you know, to mix it up. No pain. No one really got too mad. Oh, there's now people are starting to get a little

Starting point is 01:37:16 mad. But, but Raising Canes, there, I feel like that's like, there's a, a huge following to rate. Like, like, I think people are go a little nuts over Raising Canes. They were mad. We hadn't done it for so long. People love Raising Canes. And I, you know, I tried it and I liked it. Why? Yes. I love it. All right. Let's move on. Next one. Nuggets. Wow. We got McDonald's, we got Burger King, we got Wendy's, Carl's Jr. This is easy for me. Get those Carl's Jr. stars out of there. I just think they're out of here. They're an abomination. What are we doing? I've never had them, but they look bad. Yeah. FOH, Carl's Jr. Nugs. They're stars. They're stars. They're in the shape of stars. Yeah, I don't like them. Look, I love Carl's Jr.

Starting point is 01:38:00 Carl's Jr. is delicious, but. It looks like the shape nuggets you like microwave out of a packet. Yeah. The dino nuggets, yeah. Yeah. It's, it's enough to- That would be a harder choice if there were some dino nuggets. Yes. I think shaping meat into that sort of form factor is just a little too much of an insult to the animal. Like, it's just like, don't make me into a toy. That's what people said to God when I was created. Don't make me into a toy. No, no, no. Packing meat into that, into that shape. It was an insult to that animal. Yeah. When, when you were, uh, when, when God was making you, they're like, you're going to do one whole family at the same time. And it's like, no, this

Starting point is 01:38:44 man will be called Mr. Slice. A lot of, a lot of general negativity for, uh, sorry, Gabriel, it's a lot of general negativity for nuggets in the chat, it feels like, but it seems like Carl's Jr. is the winner. All right, let's get to the next one. All right, here we go. All right, chicken named foods that aren't chicken. We've got chicken of the sea. We've got chicken of the woods, which is a type of mushroom, chicken and a biscuit, the cracker brand, and drumstick ice cream. Get this fucking, get these fucking mushrooms on a tree out of you. I don't want the mushrooms on the tree. Wait a minute, here's it. I have, I have a little bit of beef with this because I always thought those mushrooms were called hen of the woods. Are they called hen of the woods? I think

Starting point is 01:39:25 that is the loophole. Yeah. Female chicken. Get the hen of the woods. It's like putting a picture of mold up. I don't want to, I don't want the, it's on a tree. There's white cheese. I'll kick off the cloaca and a biscuit. Yeah, I kind of agree. I love mushrooms. Yeah, I like mushrooms. Fuck it. I want a drumstick right now. The ice cream. I like those crackers. I like those crackers. Three cans of tuna right now. I'm telling you that much, bro. Crack open three cans of tuna and just slam them down. Is it specifically the chunk light that we're kicking out? Chunk light in water? Oh yeah. I'll kick out the chicken of the sea just because I'm a star-kissed loyalist. All right, let's get, let's move to the next one. All right. All right,

Starting point is 01:40:09 here we go. Chicken sounds. We've got cock-a-doodle-doo, bock-bock-bogock, bock-bock, and cluck-cluck. I, this one's, this one's easy. Look, cock-a-doodle-doo. That's, come on, that's like, that's like a hat, I hope. You know, that's, that's that. Sure, gotta keep it. That's mine. Now that you say that, that's a good point. That's the one I get rid of. Thank you. Thank you, Mitch. That's a good call. You're right. I'll get rid of cock-a-doodle-doo. I gotta say that is very funny. It's very fun. I agree. That's hands down the best one. Yeah, that's, that's good. Cluck, remove the L and I like that one, Wigs. You could be talking to you if we zoom out. Okay. That's why people are wishing you a happy January 6th. Say things like that.

Starting point is 01:41:00 I think bock-bock is the easy one to excise here. I think bock-bock-bock does the same thing just with a little bit more panache. Bock-bock's gotta go. Yeah. Bock-bock's gotta go. Bye-bye, bock-bock. Bye-bye. Okay. Let's, we got a couple more here. Next up, animated chickens. There's more? Oh, wow. We have, yeah, we, it's, we, I cut it down to seven. I think Drop King sent like 14. So, we have a lot of options here. He sent 11. There are 11. There are 11. Okay. Still too many after I cut four. That's okay. We got Foghorn Leghorn, Ernie the Giant Chicken from Family Guy, Hey Hey from Moana, and Chan Tecler? I haven't seen Rock-a-Doodle. Is that how you say his name? Me either. I have no idea. Sean Soleil? I have no idea. Sean Soleil? How do you say that?

Starting point is 01:41:51 I have no idea. Chad is saying Family Guy Chicken. Is, is the, is the Rock-a-Doodle voiced by Mel Gibson or is that Chicken Run that's voiced by Mel Gibson? That's Chicken Run, yeah. Okay, good. Then the Rock-a-Doodle's still in. All right. I do like Elvis, so I'm gonna, I'm gonna be a Rock-a-Doodle partisan for that reason. I haven't seen Moana. It feels unfair to eliminate Hey Hey. It does remind me. I love Moana. You should see it. I should see it, and Natalie likes it, and I will say that it also reminds me of the Chicken Poyito from Despicable Me Too, which is very funny, and so El Macho's Chicken, so I think I'll keep that one. Ah, fuck. I think I get it. Why, don't say it. Don't cut the chicken from Family Guy. I think I got it. He's very funny,

Starting point is 01:42:42 but I think of the, in this tough choice, I think he's got to get out of here. I think he's the one that must be banished. Yeah, he always starts fights with me, so I'm gonna cut the, also cut the chicken. Yeah. Wow. Okay. Oh, wow. You did dance, man. I was barely reacting. Oh, wow. I think I got a vote, I got a vote for the Family Guy Chicken to get out of there. I want to rewatch Moana, because I have seen it, and Hey Hey does not look familiar to me. I just watched it over the holiday, and it is great. Hey Hey is just a fucking idiot who gets into a lot of high drinks, because he's in the wrong place at the wrong time, which is me. That sounds great. Okay. Also sounds like Poyito. Guess what, Wikes? Yeah. Staying in character the rest of the episode,

Starting point is 01:43:29 as Peter Griffin. Wow, okay. Thank you for making time for us, Mr. Griffin. That's right. I hope nothing pulls you away. Oh, you mean like Lois or Stewie? Or if the chicken starts a fight? Or my dog, Brian? Yes. All right. Finally, and Peter, you'll be interested in this one. Don't forget Chris and Meg, too. Oh, yeah, of course. The whole family's there. How could we? And of course, is that you? Yeah, I'm calling. Oh, sorry. I was stopping by because Giggity Giggity Megan's Law says I have to tell you that I'm a sex offender who's moved into your neighborhood. Oh, and look who else is here. Cleveland is here. Oh, no, we can't do that anymore.

Starting point is 01:44:19 Cleveland's very quiet. Cleveland's. Cleveland's gonna keep his mouth shut. All right. Finally, we've got movie cowards, movie chickens. I got canceled. The Cowardly Lion, George McFly, Chunk, and C3PO. Wow. This is tricky. Mitch, is this triggering for you? This is big triggering for me. Yes. I always wanted to be mouth in Goonies because I was like a fast talking kid, but everyone was like, no, dude, you gotta be Chunk. You're a Chunk. I'm also like, I can speak a little Spanish and I'm the funniest one. And the smart ass and they're like, you're Chunk. You're fat. You can't be anything but fat. You were basically really fucking. You were basically Chunk light from the last slide. Chunk in water. That's what they call, that's what they say when I dive into the fucking

Starting point is 01:45:10 ocean. Chunk's got to go for that reason. The lion always creeped me out from my childhood. His voice and his face sketched me the fuck out. But Chunk is, even though, how can I throw a Chunk out? I'm sitting here overweight in a Hawaiian shirt. Get this asshole out of here. What am I saying? Chunk, come back, baby. I kicked the lion out. Go get yourself a hot motherfucker or courage, whatever yours is. He needs courage. So you're getting rid of Chunk. Mitch, could you do me a favor? Could you lean back again and then just open your mouth wide? Oh, God. Are you trying to say I'm the cowardly lion? I don't know. Think of the angle was closer. Cowardly lion is a classic character. C-3PO was built by Anakin and is also just like a,

Starting point is 01:46:11 I love Star Wars and I like 3PO. I think I also want to get rid of Chunk. Here's the thing, we've all met Chunk in real life. Very accomplished entertainment lawyer these days. Jeff, Jeff, what's his last name? McMahon. Wiger. You want to keep C-3PO for some reason? A certain kinship? Kind of a kinship with him. The nervous droid who's super funny, super smart, super important, but you don't really want to be around for some reason. You do want to rip his fucking arms off. Oh, that's a great costume for Halloween. Wiger, you paint yourself gold, fold your legs up behind your head and let Mitch wear you as a

Starting point is 01:46:55 backpack. Chewbacca carries C-3PO out of the cloud city. Wow. That's very good. Man, I'm going to have to carry your tank ass around all night. This is going to be fucking quads are going to be hurting. Jeff is a great guy, but also he's sold out on his Chunk persona. He's thin now. And so for that reason, he maybe is not even fat in the movie. According to American standards. Yeah. Yeah. That's like how Adam Pally was the fat one on Happy Endings. Okay. Have you guys rewatched Full Metal Jacket anytime recently? Because it's wild how Vincent D'Onofrio, what a normal body he has by modern standards. Yeah, he's like a home. Yeah. All right. It seems like the consensus is Chunk. So I think Chunk must be banished.

Starting point is 01:47:51 Bye, Chunk. By the way, I don't want to say their name, but the computer program that's like Alexa from Apple, I was saying Chunk and she somehow played Cut Chunk and that she somehow played Nowhere Generation Rise Against. I've never even heard this song before, but Siri just started to play Nowhere Generation. Weird. My Alexa called your phone. When I said Chunk, if I was calling, Mike Mitchell. That was a single item must be banished, just like a restaurant value feedback. Let's open the feedback. So we're going to take a few questions real quick from the chat. Anyone got a, yeah, good job, DK. Good job, DK, is from the chat. Are you going on tour still? We

Starting point is 01:48:49 don't look. Don't ask that. Don't ask. So any questions in the chat about anything food related? Yes, we're not going back on tour anytime soon. Roxy Chaos. Hi, Roxy. Will you try Taco Bell Wings? Gabriel, I mean, I think we might. We might. I think there might be a Taco Bell in the future for High and Mighty with the present company and the old heads, you know, little Betsy and Mano action. We might have the full five sim together, trying these chicken wings and not necessarily together due to the Cron and I'm not talking about weed. Unfortunately for once, I wish the world was overtaken with chronic right now,

Starting point is 01:49:35 not on the ground. That'd be great. Not 1999. I wish the Snoop Dogg album was just back and fucking pop it off. Dr. Drake. I mean, the Dr. Tray album. Sorry. Sorry. That's where I discovered my bed. You know, yeah, too much. I'm thinking of doggy style. The two CDs I brought to summer camp with me current 2001. Yeah, came out and I think 99 came out earlier than 2001, which is a fun, a little fun fact. I mean, that's not that fun. Anyway, here's one from Grim Word. This is do you have a snack blind spot, something you see in the store but haven't ever tried? Wow. Apples. Yeah. You're telling me you've never eaten an apple? Not once. Joking. No, I'm coveted doctors every fucking day. If I just had one apple,

Starting point is 01:50:28 I would keep them away. The doctor would be like, oh my God. I'll talk everybody through that since it was bad. I have one. I love seaweed salad. I love the ocean, but I've never had seaweed chips, and I see them a lot. Me too. Interesting. I've had them as like accents to dishes and stuff like that at some places. Or wrapped around like an Omasubi. I've had like the seaweed wrap but not a chip. Right. Yeah. I've never had it as like in like, oh, the little bag of chips or the little dish of chips. I want to try it now. I'm going for it. You don't think I've ever had, I'm racking my brain, it's possible. I don't think I've ever had bugles. Really? I think these are things I've been conscious of forever. I don't know if I've ever actually eaten a bugle. Oh, we should do a

Starting point is 01:51:10 bugle double. I'll put them on our fingers and be a little weirdo. Yeah, that's fun. That was a good one. Is this a weird? For people who've eaten bugles, is this a weird? Are bugles the butterfingers of chips? That makes sense to me and I don't know why. Does that make sense? Excluding the finger thing, but like they're weirdly orange. They have like a weird, they both have a weird tang to them. Chat is saying yes unanimously. Hell yeah, chat. Thank you, chat. I'm looking up like the most popular snack foods to eat. I truly can't, I can't think of anything that I haven't tried, sadly. I'm not missing out a lot. I'm not like, you put anything in front of me, I just fucking house it. It doesn't matter. I feel like, you know what, I feel like in the

Starting point is 01:51:59 world of like three musketeers type candy bars, I'm not sure if it's three musketeers, but I feel like there's like got to be one of those kind of candy bars like that I haven't, that I haven't tried. I definitely never had like the peppermint milky way. If that exists, I'm sure. Yeah, like that, like baby Ruth, I feel like I've had a baby Ruth once or twice. Yeah, you ate one out of the deep end of the pool, right? I thought you were going to compare me to sloth. Yeah, that was next. I was like, that was going to come right back for that. Have you had cheesy groups? No, I haven't had cheesy groups. Actually, that's what I like, but I was boycotting all anything made by Kellogg's,

Starting point is 01:52:42 right? Oh, that's right. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Wait, can I flip? Can I flip that Twitch question? That question from the chat? What's a snack too bright of a spot, a snack you really can't have anymore because you've like, oh, you've ruined it. Like burn yourself out for it. I'll start. For me, it's cheez-its. They were just like on sale in the nineties, I think, because they were just in my house, my entire childhood as the only snack. And I just cannot, I do not get excited to eat them anymore. Like that. They do not appeal to me. My parents always bought the reduced fat cheez-its when I was a kid. And so that's what I thought cheez-its were for forever. And then when I went to college, I had actual cheez-its. And I was like, this is a completely different

Starting point is 01:53:25 snack I've been chipped. Hell, yeah. This is very hard because the whole point of the podcast is to eat stupid shit like this. So I feel like we've knocked a lot of these out. Like someone put up takis, you know, the TA. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm like, I feel like I had those too, though. Like I feel like. Those are good. They're like rolled spicy chips. Yeah. Pork rinds I've tried like once or twice. You know what I mean? I have an answer for one that I've just like blown out my lifetime consumption of. And that is actually two answers. One is liquid, one is solid, one is cactus cooler. I had so much cactus cooler as a kid. And then I just, I don't really crave it anymore. And the other is the Kebler chips deluxe. I was looking up the

Starting point is 01:54:06 name of them, the one with the rainbow. I had so many of those rainbow chips deluxe. And now I'm just like, I'll have a rainbow cookie, but I certainly don't need those specific ones anymore. The cookie we always had, the E.L. Fudge family was like the circle with the chocolate kind of on chocolate on one side of it. And then like glaze on the other side. All right, let's get, sorry, let's get to chat. People sat through this whole fucking thing. We can answer their questions. Okay. No, this is great. E.L. Fudge stands for Everybody Loves Fudge. Here's a question. Should I pet my kitty cat as a question in the chat? And I think yes. Yes, you should. Everyone pet your cat. Wait, this is chat roulette. Do they think they're on

Starting point is 01:54:44 chat roulette? Watch me. Watch me pet my kitty cat. $3.99. Monthly access to kitty cat cam. I don't have a kitty cat. I got a dog right here though. Oh, yeah. Oh, a little bit of Wally action on camera. Wow. Very, very cute. Here, I'll show you, Jemmy, ready? I'll give you a quick preview of a little Jemmy. Yeah. She's sleeping. Jemmy is just cute as a button. That's what she does all day while I work. Hell yeah. Wally's very confused. I should get Irma too, huh? Yeah. Yeah, you probably should. If Wally's confused, you should probably grab Irma. This is like the Doughboy's Twitch audience at this point. Confused or asleep? What if you heard him a loud crash, the laptop kind of bounced, and then you hear, oh no, no Irma. He fell on

Starting point is 01:55:41 her just after. I did not fall on Irma. You hold up Wally and go say hi Irma with tears in your eyes to try to fake it. Hi Irma. Hi. Irma's now on camera looking very cute. Irma's very talkative. She'll talk to you. Maybe a little camera shy. A little bit, but she's all right. A little camera shy, but she looks better on camera than her dad. She knows her angles a little more than Mitch does. We have one final question before we close things out here. Hey, this one's from Kevin T. Porter, who's been hanging out in the chat. I don't understand why you've been here the whole time, Kevin, but thank you so much for hanging out. I gave Kevin access to the Discord too, and he's absolutely crushing it. Wow, I love it. Kevin Bacon cookies,

Starting point is 01:56:24 check them out. The pandemic has ruined us all. Kevin's question, what's one kitchen appliance that's made your life infinitely better? Wow. Oh, wow. Very good question. I got to say, I just said toss up. Well, I was, Gabriel, I know that you famously don't have a microwave, correct? I haven't had one since 2005. Me either, and I don't miss it. I don't miss it. Not at all. My first roommates were hippies, and they were like, no way, man, we're not putting that in the apartment. And I was like, okay, that's weird. I grew up with one. And then I never got one when I moved in with Tiff. And it's a fucking space sucker too. If you don't, if you can live without it, which I can, it's fucking enormous. Look, everything you can do in a microwave,

Starting point is 01:57:07 you can do in your oven, your broiler or on in a pan. All you need is a little foresight. Yeah. Like that's all you need is a little foresight. It maybe takes two minutes longer, but like not really. Yeah, I will say as someone as someone who lived in LA without a dishwasher for a very long time, I have a tape, I have a tabletop dishwasher, which I now I'm giving it to Dutton. Nice. But I, I, that was a huge, huge differences having a dishwasher. And then just like even being able to be like, I can like actually cook stuff. I didn't, but I could cook stuff if I wanted to. Like that was the, that was the, like you could actually like make meals where before, where if I was just like piled up like plates and it would

Starting point is 01:57:51 just be all over, it would be game over. So dishwasher was huge for me, wise. I'm, I haven't had a dishwasher since 2005 either. And that was, that's not by choice. I'm 40 and I do my dishes by hand still, baby. Damn. I'll give, I'll give you a link for a good tabletop one that, but that takes up a lot of people. They're just like us, man. Do their own fucking dishes, even fucking loser D list podcasters. But as far as like a new, a new, like having a new, like a newer, first of all, the air fryer, I do, I do like it a lot. I, I like a, honestly, just even I was thinking about these wings and I have leftover wings and I'm like, I can make these wings good again by just tossing them in the air fryer. It's fantastic.

Starting point is 01:58:35 So that is, that is one that's pretty great as far as like a newer thing that's changed my life a little bit. Wags, how do you, what are you, what are you, slow cooker, pressure cooker? What's, what's your, what's your choice? We do have an instant pot, kind of fell off the instant pot a little bit, but was using it pretty extensively for a time. Instant pots are nice. I, I'm going to say, I think coffee maker is a cop out, but I don't think a cop out is coffee grinder. I have fresh ground beans every time I have coffee at home and it has improved the quality of my brew immeasurably. So that's, that's going to be my answer, a coffee grinder, get yourself a nice coffee grinder and get yourself

Starting point is 01:59:13 some whole beans, quesadilla maker. I gotta say that my mom has a KitchenAid mixer and I've been using that like crazy since I've been staying in Maine and it is a life changer if you bake at all, whatever you're making, something to just stir that thing for, whatever you're stirring, whatever you're mixing, something that'll do it for you for 10 minutes. That was the first thing Tiff, that was the first thing Tiff put on her registry, like when we were getting married. She's like, I've always wanted a KitchenAid stand mixer. We have the pistachio green, you know, yeah. Gabriel, did you put on a CPAP? Yeah, I see. I was like, and that's all I need is a CPAP, a flesh, a fleshlight to outstrait.

Starting point is 01:59:57 A fleshlight to CPAP. When are they going to combine the two? I'm having the best wet dreams of my life finally. Man, imagine being able to dream again. I haven't, I haven't visited, and the good side, no Freddie Wags, there's, I haven't visited them in the nightmare realm. I'm scared to take a weed break because I'm scared my dreams will like take me to another dimension that I don't want to be in. The fuck's going on? You're too close. You're too close. Yeah, I know what's going on.

Starting point is 02:00:30 You're too close to steaming keys. If you smoke a lot of weed, you don't have a lot of dreams. Yeah, yeah, you know, I don't. And it's, it's weirdly literal and metaphorical in a strange way. But when you stop smoking weed, the dreams come back in an aggressive way. Oh, I'm aware. I went away to a foreign country where I didn't bring cannabis because I was cruising and I bugged out. Yeah, in your sleep. Felt good though. Felt like doing mushrooms.

Starting point is 02:00:55 I got an Oculus VR headset that I've been using periodically and I will, and I read this phenomenon was happening and it's happened to me some is that I've had, I've experienced more lucid dreaming as a result because you're in this dream-like state when you're using it. And so when you're awake, you're able to recognize that you're not in reality, but you're, you know, but you're aware of it. So I've had more lucid, I've had more lucid dreams, which is strange, strange to be able to have some control over your unconscious state. Have you actively tried to have a lucid dream? No, I've never done that, but I've, I've had the thing and this is the thing I think I maybe

Starting point is 02:01:27 said in an episode around the Twitch before and, and people said it was, it was insane, but I've had the thing in lucid dreams where I recognize that I'm dreaming and I step out of my own body and I turn back and I face myself. So I'm looking at myself in third person and I yeah, it's weird. Yeah. I have a question for you, when you're looking at yourself, are you the slender man? That'll be our show for a day.
