Everything's bigger in Texas
But Texas isn't actually the biggest of the US states comes in second to Alaska, which has more than double its land area
And in population Texas also ranks second
To that left-coast liberal enclave, California
But while the differing state-level politics of these two territories practically puts them on different planets, they overall have more commonalities than contrasts
Both the economic powerhouses represent the top two economies in the us and two of the three biggest agricultural producers in the nation
Both have three of the ten biggest cities in america and both are the home state of three us presidents
Both have historically elite nfl franchises that have each won five super bowls the san francisco 49ers
and the dallas cowboys
And unique among states both were briefly independent nations before joining the us in the california republic
and the texas republic
And there's another point of unity for these geographically sprawling culturally diverse realms in each border of mexico and the ocean
the cheeseburger
Both states are home to beloved regional burger chains that inspire fierce loyalty and locals and wary skepticism from outsiders
In 1948 in the inland socal city of Baldwin park, california harry and esther snider opened their drive-in restaurant
in and out burger
And in 1950 in the coastal south texas town of corpus christi harman dobson and paul burton opened their quick service
and a customer
But these burger-based businesses took different paths in the town
And
While in and out is resistant franchising the texas chain has embraced the industry standard practice now as 25 franchises expanding their brand
Around the south and southwest while in and out is remaining laser focused in the simple line of a burger shakes and fries
It's texas counterparks that raise the typically sprawling menu of a modern fast food chain
Operating chicken sandwiches and cutty melts in a full array of breakfast operas
And while everything may not be bigger in texas in this case it is
While in and out burger has 326 locations texas is burger icon as 805
This week on doe boys
Welcome to doe boys live. How you doing out there dallas?
Yes
My name is nick weigher and before we go any further this week's roast is courtesy of atman of snack shin
Let me introduce my co-host
Troy cakeman
The spoon man mike
Oh
Does this one work jesus only i can do the what's up dallas?
Oh boy
Mitch this is the third show on our texas swing it is i feel terrible
I would characterize myself as barely alive
Nick is if you haven't heard nick coughing already
He's been coughing the entire tour right and was sick three weeks before the tour started. Yeah, I had like a cold that turned into a lingering
Uh, we got like this reverb effect on the pa that's like messing with my mind
I I couldn't hear your insults. I was backstage. It sounded like you were on the other side
It sounded like you had finally died and we're on the other side
But uh, yeah, we like I so I've got this I've got this lingering cough that I've had for three weeks and that's compounded
by the fact that
You and I have just been eating garbage and driving that's been our entire existence
That's all we've done 72 hours eat sit down for three to four hours and drive. Yeah, it's terrible
It really is and you know, you and I both welcome the prospect of death
But yes true
I don't think we want to
Like eat ourselves
Into the great beyonds, right? I don't know
We may differ there
Yeah, I don't know about this not this way not with you. I don't want to do it with you
With a little with a loved one if I ate a sandwich with a loved one till I died that sounds nice. Yeah, that'd be fantastic
Hey, I got my ray cup
Very cool
Ray
You can't even pretend to like ray
Um, hey, you know what? Yeah, I'm just happy. We're out of that shit hole Houston
Birthplace birthplace of Matt koalek. Oh boy. They should burn that place to the ground
What a cheap pop you just went for oh what? I'm a Dallas boy, baby after you
After we had a wonderful time there. Oh fuck that place
I
Think you said this is the peak of the tour
No, it was here when we got out of the car and there was a switchblade on the ground
Right
True story. They realized we parked in front of our airbnb. There was a stray switchblade. I suspect it's a freddy finger
You think it's a you think freddy's walking around with one finger missing? Yeah freddy lost a finger
He was trying to kill somebody you guys hang out at the same spots. Anyways, you'll probably run into him
Um, what is that? You mean like I I also haunt the dreams of children
Implying in some sort of specter. That's right. Hey, you know mitch
Little bit of history. We're at the texas theater. I love my venue. I really like this spot
Apparently and I imagine the people here the people in this building know this but maybe our listeners don't this is the spot
Where a ledge jfk assassin lee harvey oswald was apprehended
After carrying out the deed and now you're here
So so far you've compared me to a movie monster and history's most famous assassin
That's right. All right. I don't know. I know you think he's innocent anyways, but um
Well, you mitch you were telling me an interesting conspiracy theory. You think that kennedy survived
I was surprised. I think he's alive
Um
I just want to say a special
Dispoo nation
He's solid
God damn it weigher
That's dang weigher
Oh boy
All right, holy it's santa season. It is santa santa. Can anyone hear that?
Santa's signature laugh
Is that at all audible or is it just terrible when no one's laughing it was indiscernible to me
Yeah, I mean get used to no one laughing. Yeah, it's gonna be a running game
It will be the rest of the show
And also it's not a funny drop. I thought it was a nice holiday theme. It's the holiday season
I like the roasting on an open fire. I don't like this pejorative hot salad roasting on an open fire
But I think uh, I think that was a nice drop overall. Yeah, are you excited for the holidays nick? Oh my god
Do you see family at all during the holidays?
I see I will definitely be seeing my wife
Oh my god
Wow, that's so nice of you. We're gonna know we'll see family
We'll probably I'll probably see the in-laws on christmas day and then we'll hang out with my side of the family shortly thereafter
And you're you you're going for your annual, uh, Quincy sabbatical. That's right. I think you're gonna be there from december 1st to
february 28th
Like a quarter of the year
It keeps me me man. It gives me my wacky personality
I'm gonna recharge. You know what I mean? So we're doing like double shows
That aren't gonna the people are gonna tell that they're older
Because because we're doing them a month in advance. Wait, are you talking about these shows?
No, the shows that we really we've record. We've we've we've been doing double shows
We've been recording to get on top. Are you referring to our weekly bonus episode the double is double? Yes
But you're saying that we're doing we always. Oh, fuck it. You can't even understand what i'm saying
You mean we're recording in advance. Yes. We're doing extra record. Yes. Yes. They're gonna be dated
They're gonna be bad. Take the month off of january. It's gonna be bad
You're just telling people don't listen don't listen to the podcast for january cancel your patreon for january
And don't listen
Actually, you should he's gonna need the money for whatever the hell's happening to him, right?
It's either going from the patreon or a go fund me. I'll have to set up for what
For the case of zero donations and your go fund me. Oh, man
Wait, we should bring out
No, yeah, hell, yeah, we should bring out our guests bring out our guests
A good friend of the show
The winner of the nugget tower hour from comedy bang bang and a host of the podcast high and mighty the great
Through block island sound
Jesus christ here. Okay, so
Look this we can we can explain what happens
We went we got to our airbnb tonight
And all of a sudden there was Mitch found a switchblade
It's a steak knife. Mitch just only eats takeout. So he has no idea
I
Think it was a frity finger
And we got a little knock on our door and our neighbor we we have neighbors. Do you want to give him our address?
I don't know what nick is in charge of that stuff
Um, and our neighbors came over and they were like, hey just so you know, you can probably tell this better
You dealt with them. Yeah, I mean I could tell almost anything you're gonna say better
We can't defer to me the whole time. You're the spoon, man
I don't why I put it in quotes. It's my real name
It's the only one of your names that isn't a first name
Donovan, um
Oh, yeah, a little spoon man trivia middle name donovan file that one away. What's that your middle name is donovan
You didn't know that. No, I was saying a little trivia for everyone. I knew that
Your middle name is frank. Pretty boring middle name. I mean, it was my it was my great grandfather
So it has some and he was insanely boring that guy
He was actually francis and I feel like nicolas francis would be a little bit more sonorous
Nicholas frank sounds a little abrupt
I don't know
Nick frank. Nick frank, I guess sounds okay. Yeah, it's this. Oh, nick frank's over here, right
Nick frank sounds like a monster. No one's afraid of
Hey, it's nick frank. Don't worry about him. He's fine. He'll creep you out
Oh, nick frank's here. He's gonna extort money out of us by reading a monologue at 1.5s times speed
Um
Going on another sidetrack. Have you ever told about your great great great grandfather?
I haven't mentioned this. Okay. You should tell it. I wish I knew his name off the top of my head. I apologize to my ancestor, but
My uncle sent me this anecdote. He'd found from an old paper in the like 1867 or something shortly after the civil war and
he uh my great great great grandfather by grandfather's grandfather
There was his obituary
And he was a veteran and he went to a train platform
And as a crowd of onlookers shouted no
He stepped in front of a slow-moving moving train
And was just like they just ran over him and killed him just an absolutely brutal suicide in front of a crowd of people
despairing and that's
Tell them what you're gonna do tonight
Much like my great grandfather before me, right? That's my Kylo Ren moment
Mitch and I are gonna put on little train conductor hats and slowly stomp across you
You guys wearing train conductor hats would be a pretty cool like 1980s wrestling tag team
That train
It's a good 90s movie to that train
I'm engine and this is the caboose and you know mean gene. We'll see you in the cage brother
Out of breath after climbing into the ring. Oh, they just get on top of us and pin us
Like like wrestlers will go to us. Hey as a career. We're unhealthy people and we're worried about you guys
So these neighbors came over I did all right
We got to knock on the door. We're at an airbnb. We no one should know we're there
So someone's knocking on the door. I go
Hi, and they go. Hello, and I go. Can I help you and they're like, how are you doing tonight?
And I'm like, oh, what the fuck is going on and just to give you an idea of this airbnb
There is a peephole, but the peephole is a hole in the door with loose leaf stuck in it
It's so I removed some wad of paper
Looked through and it was a couple. So I'm like, they're not gonna both kill me
Unless she's like the type of chick whose husband kills people while she fingers herself, you know, you know, you know that type
That classic pairing right that trope you guys get that
These chicks they love to jam their clams while their man kills up someone
So they just go
So are you guys the airbnb guests staying here and we're like, yes
They're like, we're staying next door and just so you know
Last night the people were staying here were pretty loud and we could hear everything and I went, oh, okay
And they're like, so if you guys could just keep it down and we're like, I'm going, okay
And then she goes because because you know
We're gonna keep it down too
And I said so you came over here to knock on our door to tell us you were gonna try to be quiet tonight
Also, too that what gabris just said is verbatim what he said to them. That's not him retelling his
Yeah, he's not doing like a tough guy retelling. He said this to these people
The second anyone sitting there scared the second anyone tells me what to do. I bristle even like, you know when tsa is like next
I'm like, I'm not going
Sir now someone I'm I'll go when I want to go
So we we looked at each other. Oh, they said
Um, for example, we heard you say this place is actually pretty well decorated and I was like, you're quoting us
So then when they left we were like, we're gonna get fucking shit-faced and have banned practice here
We had no intention that is also verbatim. He said that loudly so they could hear next door
And we got here and there was a bottle of patron and we started drinking it because I wasn't gonna party tonight because we got a fly
And I am close to death. I believe that's what you guys said. Yeah, so let me let me just
Pull back for one second. So
gabris brought a little bottle of patron out on stage that he's I imagine he's going to finish over the course of this episode
Here's here's a rundown of what gabris has consumed alcohol wise over the past couple shows
In austin, he drank an entire bottle of bourbon
in the form of two cups
Just filled to the brim just with straight bourbon and then you brought five beers on stage
In houston when we were like so hungover we couldn't we were so me and mitch were like trembling
And you like immediately chugged one beer and then just powered through the remaining four over the course of the next 90 minutes
Smoke to joint after the show. That was the size of my gigantic head
Yeah, and you are still high from it. Is that why your eyes are like that?
I
This is a mitchell man feature
It's something we like to brag about in the mitchell house all the mitchell men have heavy lids
My mom had eye surgery. She's like you're gonna have to have it to one day, you know
I was like, thanks
You're like rocky. We got a halfway through the show. Someone's got to cut your eye open so you can see what the fuck is going on
Cut a mic
Nothing's over. Just give me something to drink
You guys remember brisk commercials. Oh, yeah. Oh, I mean, of course we do
That's brisk, baby
Oh, Jesus christ
Did you do that in the cafeteria to try to make friends?
Thank you saying that's brisk, baby. The kid who's sitting alone at a table
I did sing while he's he walks by and points out everyone's drink. That's water, baby. That's lacroix, baby. That's tequila, baby
That's beer, baby. That's water buddy. Hey buddy
I did sing the kitkat song for some kids to impress them at recess
Like I gave me a break. Give me a break. Break me off. Peace that kitkat bar and walla and then I like thanks for doing it again
I kind of did that
And then I as I was walking away. I heard them like making fun of me for doing it
This was on the walk over to the venue
Nothing exacerbates my cough
Like laughter and so like hanging out with gabris who just is always on it's a problem
Yeah, but it's like having like a deathly allergy like a deathly cat allergy
And then you find yourself next to the cutest cat ever
I want you to shut the fuck up
Somebody's got to put some comedy in these fucking shows
No way, man. That's not how the dope boys does it. Yeah, this show is boring as shit. They gave me for coughing and mumbling
They want facts about chain restaurants. I can't believe 40 people got up and left right after the drop. They're like, that's what I'm here for
All I wanted to hear was whatever the fuck that thing played
But you I cut I we had actually a set we talked about our dead dads for like an hour and a half today
I was gonna get on that because so on the drive over that man that is a dull drive from houston to dallas
You guys ever made that either was your action
Boy, that is a slaw. Yeah, that sucks. That's a shitty drive
But if you're playing chain restaurant bingo, you're gonna fucking win. Oh hell. Yeah, you're gonna get like 70 rounds
There's so many chain restaurants, but two two things of note. One is that we saw a guy with texas plates
Littering out his window. He literally threw a bag of whataburger and a cup outside his driver's side window messed with texas. He messed with texas
That's against the texas code. You're right to boo him. Um, I just didn't know people still did that, right? Hold on. Hold on a second
Does anyone want to cheer him?
Wow, we're scumbags
I'm pro littering. What a stance to take
You should be able to throw whatever you want wherever you want
But so we saw this one guy violating the the cardinal rule to don't mess with texas and then we also
The other thing was you guys were having a very very real conversation just like so like real and like
You know like humorless just like very serious about just like death and your families and all that and I was just like in the back seat
But anyway, so and then I'm just now I'm just in the back just coughing up a lung
And then you guys are up there just having this very very real conversation
It was like very
Dark and like almost surreal to see you guys being just so honest with each other. Guess what you can't be a part of it
Your live dad, bitch
Round of applause whose dad is dead?
Wow texas
sad sad state
You can't and we're live dad family act
Hell yeah
All right, so if your dad is dead hashtag dead dad's club if your dad is alive hashtag well adjusted
I
Like one of the first big interactions I had with gabris
I went up to we was talking to our friend Justin
And I was like I walked over to be like hey guys, what's going on?
And they were like you can't be a part of this dead dad's club and they shoot me away
My dad died a year later
I think I can cost it
The gabris curse was put on I said you can't be part of this conversation. Mitch went no problem got in the car drove to quincy
Fucking shot
Came back was like, what were you guys talking about? Jesus christ. I want it in baby
Hey, it's the easiest club to get into it just sucks to be a member
Yeah, kind of a sad car ride today, sorry weigur. Oh, that's fine and you're and you are close to there
You maybe will be able to say hi to our dad. Yeah
Not my dad
Maybe your dad
Dad if you can hear me if anyone says hi about it
I
Fuck part of the I told you guys this but part of my cough is that I have a
I've like pulled a muscle or something like on the side of my body
And so I wonder how
All right, come on
Drop it don't turn this into some implied self-suck injury
I wasn't engaged in auto fallatio and injured my ribs
No, I got I have like a little bit of like a strain. It's like my sides are literally splitting
But not from a excellent gaffa
But rather oh, fuck you
These are my favorite moments, but rather from an avalanche of asthma attacks
It's brutal. What's wrong with you?
I've just been coughing so much that that a like tora muscle or something or strained a muscle and then once each subsequent cough
Worsens it. It's awful. It's like it compounds the the
Happen to me. I cracked a rib playing rugby and the things that exacerbate a hurt rib are
Laughing and coughing which are two very big side effects of smoking weed
So one of my favorite hobbies was I mean it is killing me in the longer run, but in the moment
It was truly hurting me. Yeah, that's the time you have to switch from like half baked as your stoned watch to like pans labyrinth
It's something that's just gonna really just like focus in yeah, so I guess I'm watching enter the void again
If you haven't watched that you guys should watch that it features a scene in which a camera is inside of a vagina
That's true and a penis is coming in and out of the camera and then the penis ejaculates. Wow
Oh, wow, like you've never seen it weiger that close up. Oh, uh, maybe he has
All right, let's take it easy chill
Um, so it's this it's tonight too dirty
We're going raunchy at the end of the tour you guys want raunch or no raunch
I shouldn't have said raunch or no raunch you guys just cheered it doesn't matter
We'll clean it up a little bit. Hey, you know
No for for a stretch
We'll move on from uh from foul language and discuss a foul presence in our country
I'm referring of course to the current occupant of the white house the man I refer to as the orange buffoon
Not positive how you guys are gonna react to that
But will this we're we don't like politics
Hey, who's that guy in the book?
Here's the thing we'll avoid the political subject matter
But this was a fascinating thing that came out in the washington post today
And this may be a little bit dated by the time this episode releases, but I felt like we should address it
There's a new campaign memoir called let trump be trump and in it the following is presented
Trump's there's a quote trump's appetite seems to know no bounds when it comes to mcdonald's with a dinner order consisting of
Two big max two filets of fish and a chocolate shake
Apparently that totals 2,500 calories. I think that's a combo if you just order the that's what they give you if you just order the gabris
That's that's what an insane amount of food. That's that's guaranteed for you to die on the toilet, right?
The way I two filet of fish two filet of fish two big max does he know about chicken sandwiches?
Does he know about fucking fries?
Some fries in there. He's kind of take down four sandwiches. You know like fries. Come on. I love fries. How dare you?
Do I kill this
If you want to it's gonna be strong
He's pouring the patron into his ray cup one mississippi two mississippi. Oh, yeah, you're finishing it. Oh, yeah
Oh, there's a little bit left. I'll take it the remaining has gone into gabris's cup
A gabris, by the way has a mario cup. It's got yoshi on the side facing me apparently mario and luigi on the other side
How about that? That's a lot of Luigi is looking luigi's looking for something
Shout out to marcus the guy who's helping us
No, his name is ryan. I've been fucking up his name all day. I'm sorry ryan gave us some cool ass cups
Make me feel like a goddamn hero
We were debating on who gets what cup and I thought ray was appropriate for me because I love the force awakens
And I should get mario because I spend most of my time cleaning out pipes
I'm like an amateur plumber
Right. I flushed a toilet a thousand times in the last three days
I will say we we all shit at the same gas station today
Oh, wait, we're supposed to clean it up. It was yeah, it's shut down
It's condemned now. Yeah, it's uh, they just lit it on fire that let it burn, baby
Yeah, you were in you were in the there was one usable stall one was just destroyed. Yeah, and you were in this you were in the stall
using the facilities and
making boom boom
And game was just queued up outside
And you were you started well, I mean you started loudly giving some explicit details about what was going on in there
While there were just other randos at the urinals
It was just us for a while and mitch was just really having a full-blown conversation with us
And then other people started walking in and we were like, let's not tell mitch
And the mitch is like, I'm just sitting here trying to get something to happen and the guy's like
I was like, my dick's so tiny right now
Guys, what does blood look like?
What does blood look like? I've never seen it
Fuck
Um, all right, let's uh, why I haven't noticed you use the bathroom once which is appropriate for me to use the restroom
I went in after him and there was like a bunch of usb cables just jammed into the toilet
A battery floating in there sunk at the bottom is this a 56k modem?
Don't worry about it, buddy
It's flushable. It's flushable
We want we've talked about this in other cities, but we want to make them laugh to death like the roger rabbit weasel
Is the plan it might happen
Um, hey, you know
Part of the reason we ended up at that particular restroom is was we stopped to get some gas
After we visited this week's chain
We went to the water burger the huntsville located huntsville Texas anyone from huntsville or no huntsville
Apparently it's referred to oh, are you from are you from there originally or just know what it is?
You're from there. All right. Shout out to the home of sam houston, which we learned from a
Uh, perhaps problematic statue. I don't know
We're not sure
We're not sure
Well a statue of anyone that was born before 1950 you're like that person was racist
Like every statue is like, well, yeah, that guy was pretty racist
Uh, but except for venus demilo. She loved black dudes
But she had no arms so she you know struggle for her up and down
Venus demilo had was had no arms. She was based on a real person. They had to cut her arms off to get the statue right
They were like he's like, I don't know how to do arms. It's like well, we'll cut the model's arms off
So it looks like you did it perfectly
Just because they're italian they're long island guys
I only know how to do one character and that character is my actual voice
Which is gonna slowly come out as I finish this patron. I'm gonna start like being like, hey, what's the fucking mozzarella?
gabris is talking to his nephew
Who's one who's one? He is always
He's a little prick
Yeah
This little baby is like
What do you call him? He said something for legit
Oh, I what did I call him? I think I'm called him a finook and
The meat man
Don't know if those are racist term. I'm not positive either
Someone just hits me with a brick. Yep. No, that was a racist term
It's the first one year old I've ever seen with a full beard
How many of you folks in here tonight thought you were gonna see the shining
One person all dough boys and no play make jack a bag
So we stopped at this water burger in huntsville, texas
It was a very heavily trafficked location
I imagine a lot of people making that interstate highway journey or stopping there for a quick bite to eat
That was just real quick
All the chain restaurants we saw on the drive, which was a ton right had full parking lots
So many people at the at each of these things. Hey, you know what explains the dead dad thing from earlier
Everyone's having karabas lunch right on saturdays
Yeah, let's go hit up outback steakhouse for brunch
It's not your arteries aren't gonna survive for for very very long if you're eating like that
But so and you know what who has what it has consistently like the most amazing amount of cars at it is buckies
Which is something I learned about recently
Buckies the old beaver
that's
How is it beaver character and
It's a gas station. What else is it? What is that?
How is it possible that like 80 cars are getting gas at once? I'm just like this is amazing the volume of
Are you telling me dallas isn't a big hybrid town?
You're not like driving I would imagine I saw I saw five Prius's on the road today and they were all in the back of f
150s
I got a Prius because I like hybrids and just like driving around
Save a lot of gas on this car
Oh
The reason there's so many cars at the gas station is because everyone's car in texas gets nine miles to the gallon
Because it's 60 tons and has like five engines right
We've almost been off run off the road multiple times while we've been here and we're in an suv. We're in a big car
We're not we're in a key of serenity. We're in a key of serenity
These guys are all gonna key every key of serenity for like a two-block radius. We'll get them
We'll guess what we bought the insurance you motherfuckers. We already keyed it key it up, baby
Gas is so much cheaper here than it is in california that we're stopped fueling it up
We're stopped to fuel the car. This is the point you want to get across it with your last breath
Yeah, right
These are gonna be my last words
Put this on a plaque so much the gas is so much better
but uh
We stopped to get gas and we were putting it in and we're like like, uh, is that enough because we didn't want to
Overfill our rental car and then uh, we're just like, you know, put another a couple gallons in there
We almost just did it just for fun because it was just so fun
Like it was exciting to get gas for oh the gas costs us one third what our what a burger order
The gas is so cheap. We're carrying on gallons of it onto the plane. We're bringing it back. Do you think they'll let us on?
It's just gasoline in a bag
I
I'm not a terrorist. I just want to bring a bag of gasoline on the plane
It's so much cheaper here
So we were stopped at this water burger
Uh, the employees there were real hoot. I'd say a real cast of characters
Yes, it was so fun. They they had a they were having a blast
Because a lot of the drive was
You we already said this but it was yeah, it was pretty sad
Making a murderer esk is maybe a good way to say it. Sure
A lot of salvage lots. There was a lot of salvage lots
And then when we got in there, what a what a what a what a fun environment we walked into they were having a fall
Yeah, and we held up the line for a long time a very long time
We were legitimately flirting with all of the employees at the same time
And they were clearly excited to see some, you know, obviously not from texas people mitch wearing his patriots hat
I was in like a pink shirt and short shorts. Yeah with a long island tattoo
They're like, who you two skinny little boys
Huh? Yeah
That is one good thing about texas
Is that we are like the mean size like the
All the men out there you fat fuckers
I see you with women way out of your leagues. You fat fucks
water burger resting on your gut
And then of course me i'm a classic so-cal surfer dude
And so Nick Nick kick flipped into water burger
What's up boyy
But I will say the service was really good like they were super friendly at the register super helpful in the ordering process
And then man, this was a thing I was not expecting because I know you guys have been a water burger before
This is my my maiden voyage
Uh the condiment table service is great man. That's so cool. That's like
It's such a small thing for them to do but it's such a huge feeling for someone to come walking by and you're like
Looking at like a display case. It was like the first time I got weed delivery and that guy was like he opened up the
Binder and he was like what kind do you want? I'm like there's more than one kind
That's what it felt like she little her name was brooklyn shout out to brooklyn the sauce girl at the water burger
She was great. She was funny as hell. She was really almost everyone in the water burger was like a pull doll of quotes of
You all gonna eat all that
Are y'all sure like everyone's like
I netflix and chill all the time that was another quote. You're like, are you bragging that you fuck all the time?
Um
Also brooklyn came around with the sauces and we wiped her clean
Yeah, oh, we're like, oh spicy ketchup. Oh never uh salsa verde salsa verde pacate
We just every single one we took she like had to go back to resupply to fulfill our demands
It was like a saint bernard who'd like, you know assisted a climber and then had to go get some more rum
but so we
We were there, but I would I will never get bottle services at a club
That's a thing that will never happen to me, but no, but this is no nick
You gotta you love gray goose by the bottle guys. I'm not gonna do it. You love clubs. You got it. What's going on?
I'm not gonna do it. It's not gonna happen for me. This is the closest I've come and I would say
This is what it must feel like because I felt I felt oh, it's exactly like this cool
That's why a lot of bachelor parties go to water burger and just smash down fucking condiments
So that was very cool, um and and also too I just want to give this disclaimer
I don't know. Have you guys ever had the breakfast there because this is my one time and we went in the afternoon
So I wasn't able to have the breakfast before everyone starts booing us. We didn't get the breakfast
We weren't able to do it chicken biscuit. Shut up butter chicken biscuit. Sorry. No, fuck you
How come you don't have the same interest in a place that we live near like
You guys are booing us for we flew here to eat it to talk to you about it. We ate
We shortened our lives. We flew. Yeah
You think me and mitch have long on this world?
We went to water and by the way, I learned because I went yesterday
Someone was telling us. Oh the honey butter chicken biscuit is breakfast. I go, right? No, I've eaten it every time
I've gone and I've been to water burger a few times
They were like, no, it's breakfast. I'm like, I've never been there for breakfast
They're like, well, they start serving it at 11 p.m.
And then I realized I had never been to a water burger during the day
I've been like five times in like random
Texas cities san Antonio. Awesome. I've been and I was like, holy shit. I've only eaten it at two in the morning
So yeah, the the honey butter chicken biscuit is fucking wild dude. I've never had it
I've never had it
Hey the night's a puppy
And
Gabriel's night. This is the moment this patron bottle. So it will probably get bought tonight
This is the moment where we cut in go. Hi nick weigher here later on that evening
We did get a chance to have the honey butter chicken biscuits and let me just tell you it was one tasty treat
It almost reminded me of going to a club or something fun
Me and the boys had a couple of alcohols
Let me relate this to something I've never done go to a club
Why why even try to do that
Anyways, uh, we didn't eat it. Maybe we'll get it before we go, but I doubt it. We're on death's door
I'm telling you not a good city from massachusetts guys, huh with kennedy. What are you? Oh
Yeah, so it's you and kennedy are in that group. We're in the same league
Oh, we're similar in many ways
Lee harvey should have taken the water burger made him eat to death or something
Too graphic. I think kennedy was uh, not as far along as you are now
Just as a heads up. He was heavy
Back then like if it was equivalent to back then kennedy was my size
Sorry, I tuned out for a second because I started thinking about how crazy it is to think that
There was a time when water burger was contemporaneous
With the jfk assassination. That's true. It's so weird to think that those two things existed at the same time
Fuck I need a fucking water burger
They're gonna come over and jam water burger in mitch's mouth and be like get it back and to the left
Back and to the left
Too soon sorry
One of the darkest days from massachusetts brawl. Yeah, it was fine on the rest of america
Fucking guy 49 of the states brawl
So you're a happy jfk got shot
That's what you extrapolated from this. I feel I feel like they still feel weird about you guys feel semi guilty
Are you guys tired of hearing about that because i'm from new york and everyone just shows up and goes 9 11, huh?
Like shakes your hand, right?
9 11 that was fucked up, right? Yeah, okay. Pleasure
Oh boy, follow that nick speaking at 9 11. I got the number nine and the number 11
Oh
Fuck
I want to rub your back every time you start coughing and I don't know if that helps but it makes me feel better
Makes you feel like i'm helping in some way. I get so stressed
It's just nice to have a personal connection with somebody. So I appreciate it
So, uh, oh, Jesus. We didn't get to experience breakfast, but we did have a wide array of lunch options
Um, so
I guess let's just kind of take the sandwich by sandwich. I think that's the way to break this down. Sure
So I
The first thing is and I wanted to get something that parallels my beloved in and out double double
So I went with a double meat water burger and you guys got the water burger jr
We got two water burger juniors gaberson. I not only the water burger juniors, right?
We got this this is just the beginning of our of everything that we had
So two patties cheese lettuce tomatoes pickles onions mustard. I believe is the roster of ingredients is mustard the only condiment on the water burger
Whatever you want, but the default is they give you mustard
And that's a texas thing right like mustard on a burger. That's like a it's a kind of a local thing
I gotta say this
Mustard heavy all of the burgers we got the water not it not a complaint
But there is certainly mustard on water burgers. Yes
Uh, we I feel like we did take it. I think that's one thing we did not go going in
It's like you're supposed to toss on some jalapenos, right?
Yeah, well we fucked up. What can I say?
But it's not like it's not presented the same way that say five guys is where it's like, okay
Here are your customization options. It's just like you have a default that you order
And I think you kind of have to know that you and I don't like that pressure
We want we want it made for us make those decisions for me
Have it just come the way it's supposed to come
But the way my default thing is like what can I add and they can list 10 things and I'm like
Put them all on right like my default is like well, then if it's good with just some of that
It's probably great with all of it right pile it on and I'm always eating like the most like like unmanageable sandwich ever
We found a piece of ham in the back. Yeah, put it on there. It's good
There's just like some dead crickets down here like throw them on they're not dead enjoy
So, uh, what did you guys think of the water burgers?
The water burger juniors?
Yes, make sure you know, we only had a water burger junior. That's it a gamers
And I had one water burger junior each we lady in the tramp did right there in the
Brooklyn was like I'm Netflix and chill all the time and I wouldn't want to stop calling her by her name on the podcast
I didn't say that I said an employee said that it was Brooklyn
Uh
I like that water burger junior a lot of you know what?
A lot of stuff like a lot of tomato and lettuce and and onion going on in there
And I was like man, is this going to be too veggie heavy?
Maybe it's the fact that I haven't had one vegetable in four days
But it didn't really ruin the burger for me. I still got a taste of that patty
I liked the water burger. It felt like the water burger junior had the water burger amount of
Toppings on it. Yes, but the the rest of it was junior
Yes, it was a thin patty and you know, I've said it on this podcast before I've said it on any time
I get a microphone in front of me. I don't think tomatoes belong on sandwiches or burgers. Oh my god
Boo fucking tomatoes
What the fuck out of there? You're entirely too juicy
Whoa, someone left. She's either leaving or she only does deaf comedy jams type stuff
Right up the aisle
Um
Disagree, so I got it with the tomatoes because I want to try it as the house says you should try it
I took a bite. I was like, this is pretty good. I did my classic
Slip pull the tomato right out keep the structural integrity of the sandwich
Why didn't you just not get into why didn't you get no tomato because I wanted to try it as they prepared it once
You didn't have it. You didn't eat it. What also you're like the most italian man. I've ever you don't like tomatoes
I grew up eating sauce sprawl
No, I had one I had one bite with the tomato. Oh, okay, then you discarded it. Yeah, it was too much
So I slid it out and then I fucking really loved the wada junior. Do you but you like tomatoes in any context?
You only like them pureed. I love tomatoes
Uh in sauce. I like it as pico. I like it. Um, I like them in salads
Okay, but I just don't like them on sandwich. I don't think tomatoes do well with bread unless it's bruschetta
But
I'm half italian
Gay bruce. I got a rebuttal for you in three letters
BLT
Okay
All right, it's like almost booed you for saying BLT
No rebuttal accepted. I do allow tomato on that sandwich right because I think the bacon and tomato work well together
but I think tomatoes and and beef patties or tomatoes and uh
Like turkey or ham or something. It just it's too slippery
Too much water
There's too much fucking water in these fucking tomatoes, dude. I know you need you like a peen
Also, dude, I just want to open it up to anyone out there if at any point you uh, are on the same page with an observation
Please just say the words. I agree. Please just vocalize that. I'm a leisure. I agree
Me too friend. Lee harvey junior junior
Do you I guess that's the third? Yeah
I think he would have changed his name
It's kind of a dick move to be like, can I please not be lee harvey oswald the third
Right, it's like the hitler family didn't stick or I didn't make that their lineage. Yeah. Well, they it was brian hitler
Jeff hitler at woodshop with todd hitler. It was a dick
I
Love I liked the water burger junior. It was it just reminded me of a of a like a carols mini. Yeah
Now look, I went to what a god you got. We're so afraid of you. We are we are afraid of you
They tackle at that too. You should be fucking californians
Two years of that
Be like, no, you've never done water burger and then I one time said it was like burger king
And yes, I know I know I know I fucked up
Then what is it like if it's not like burger king?
It's a fast food restaurant that focuses on burgers. It's good. It's better than burger king. It's better than burger king. Okay
I have a parallel
I have a parallel that I decided upon in and out is not correct
And the reason why is because in and out has such a limited menu
And and water burger has so many options for me
The parallel is jack in the box. It tries a bunch
Tries a bunch of different things
mixed reaction
Tries a bunch of different things has a but it has a wide array of different options
I think that's the closest that it comes to it in terms of change and I like jack in the box
I'm a i'm a jack in the box. Jack in the box pretty good. I think it's a little carls jr. Myself
Charles jr. Hardy's yeah, that's a pretty good parallel as well not saying it's that place specifically remember
We haven't given our fork ratings
We're gonna say when someone asks you when someone asks you what's what what's water burger like?
What do you say you say like nothing on earth?
It's the only fast food burger place in the world
Don't mess with texas, but specifically don't mess with water burger
You can throw garbage on our state
But how dare you compare one restaurant to another on a restaurant podcast
We already have our opinions. We don't care what yours are
But we'll sit here and listen
Two and a half years of people insisting we cover water burger and then when we do we're immediately covering it incorrectly
Whatever we we came to your town
ate your burger place and you hate us for it
Jesus
You're welcome
I agree, but here you know what we should do tonight to really piss off our neighbors
Throw a party at our air b&b
Nope that just changed the entire tone of the meet and greet
Where's that? Where's that? Well for real though if you want just just i'll just come over just me
But yeah, man, we need one more dude in our air b&b
But I know it invites like it naturally invites the in-and-out comparison and I understand why but here's the thing about an in-and-out burger
Three sandwiches all of them burgers
Fries shakes and fountain drinks. That's their entire menu. That's their entire menu
They're not comparable. They're not paralleled. It's very different from what water burgers operate
Turn this into in and out stop talking about it. I'm saying that water burger has a lot of seasonal offerings
They have a they have a huge number of sandwiches. They have so many different things that they're trying on their menu
Even the fact that they have both fries and onion rings. Yeah, they have as far as I can tell they have some sort of
Of taquitos or roll-ups. They have some some sort of pseudo tex-mex offerings
They're really trying for a diversity of menu options, which is great
I love that, but it's not what in and out burger is trying to do. It's very very different
They have different goals, and they're trying to
You want over no one with that. I'm not trying to win over anyone. I'm trying to give my opinion
It's fair. It's different like one person said it was similar. What the fuck?
I'm saying that because that comes up constantly people say like in and out get water burger people
Because it's texas's thing
I know I understand that it's a texas's thing and yes, you can compare the burgers versus each other
But you can't really compare the chains in terms of what they're trying to aspire to do
In the same way that you always try to compare shakeshacked in and out burger. Oh, he's going micro machine on me
You always compare shakeshacked in and out burger despite the fact that they have vastly different price points
I'm gonna Christopher Soprano you tonight and hold your nose
That's gonna finally kill me. Then we'll kill you with your weak cough. Just let him use your fucking sleep apnea machine
It's mine our neighbors. We don't even need to have a party. We have one guy who's coughing and
400 pounds of two guys snoring their asses off. Yeah 400 pounds 200 each. That's about it
Wait, I'm I'm like 190 you say if I put on another 10 pounds
Yeah, well I carry it well
Wait, how much is a ton?
2,000 pounds 2,000 pounds. Okay, good. We're a quarter. We're a little over a quarter ton
Gabriel tonight
We are a quarter ton of people
easily
Over a quarter quarter ton because if we were at our host to a third ton if we were at our goal weights
We would be a quarter of a ton
My goal weight is 50 pounds heavier than half of you. Our trainer is like gaber smith. We're gonna get you down to a quarter ton soon
That way you don't have to drive over the special weight thing in the fucking highway
You don't have to go with the tractor trailers
We have to walk across bridges separately than our Kia Sorento
And we tiptoe
Creek
Creek as the concrete is cracking under like ice
We did when we picked up our rental car. We got into a an elevator
And the four of us and then there was another couple and there was like room in the elevator and they were like, oh, that's okay
We'll take the next one
And then as the elevator was rising like the noise it made was like
No
I think I heard the elevator go. Oh fuck. All right
The other people on the elevator with us the door open button. They were just jamming it
Trying to get off. We were slowly filling up the elevator like the big trouble little china guy
Hey, mitch, you know, we recently finished up a tour of texas
And I think one of the surprise highlights for us
Our austin show post show
We had that meet and greet a bunch of our fans stuck around to say hi
That's right
And make fun of me for like a hot salad, which is not true
And it is true
And but also
Lantana hummus
Some reps from lantana were there and they presented us with some hummus and said basically hey if you guys like this stuff
We'd love to advertise on the show and
We tried it out. We we took hummus with us two bars like after that. It's true. We we almost so we almost
It was almost given away, which which was was very nerve-wracking to me
Right, we had a we had a near a situation where we were briefly almost parted with the hummus
That we really wanted to try and so we were carrying around this bat this plastic bag of like
Three different hummus varieties to these different bars. It's lantana hummus, which is a cost a company based in austin
Um, but then we got home a little tipsy and we tried this stuff home by home
I mean the air b&b we were renting this was in dallas. This was in no
This was in austin and then we we all we went we took it with us to to houston and a dallas
So this hummus we were we were taking to three different cities and made it across texas with us
Texas with us and we never got rid of it. We never got rid of it and we were chomp
We were tasting it the whole way this stuff is great. We enjoyed it, right? I loved it
We did that
Very genuinely loved the hummus. We did the hatch chili hummus, right which I thought was spicy
But not too spicy. It was great just that sweet spot if you want something a little spicier
They have the high heat extra spicy three pepper hummus, but you know other their other varieties
They've got sriracha carrot hummus black bean hummus spicy yellow hummus
They've also got the edamame and the and the white bean they get a bunch of different varieties 10 different flavors in all
And it's real good stuff. It's great snack for game day. Mitch. I know you're a big you're a big football fan
I am a football fan your new england patriots are playing in the big game. That's right. And you know what?
I gotta say this
Anyone in spoon nation you bring some of this to the game
You're gonna be of you know a party someone not the actual game
But you know I'll bring it to the actual game too the big game if you're going smuggle it into the big game
Get it past security and if security gives you any shit
Fucking put them in their place. Yeah, do you know what? Yeah, just take a scoop of hummus put it right in their mouth
They'll have a smile on their face
We're sure tsa too try it
If you bring this to a party, you know a big game party
People are gonna go nuts. They're gonna lose their minds. They're gonna love it and you and and
You look burger brigade and spoon nation can come together on this one, right? I think great great snack for game day
Great alternative to heavier fare like wings and chili and meatballs and burgers
Hey, nick i'm trying to i'm trying not to eat. Oh fried foods
Well, you know what lantana hummus will do you right? So hey if you want to get try this stuff out
It's available at most grocery stores and targets across the country
Look for the hummus with the striped lids in the deli section
You can go to lantana foods dot com to find lantana at the stores
nearest you
Give it a shot
a spoon nation approved
By the way, I got a modern ray melt
Oh
I got the wrong sandwich
So the modern ray melt has american and modern ray jack cheese on top of the patties
Grilled peppers onions jalapeno ranch
That's right. I thought that was good as hell. I know you ordered it, but I had a bite of that bad boy
We did despite us all knowing nick is sick
We all took bites of each other
This entire trip. Here's a testament to water burger. Okay. We we do like water burger. We promise
The a testament to water burger is
Nick is sick. His coughing is dying
Every other place we were like, we're gonna like cut shit off and not have you bite it at water burger
Nick like took a bite and he's like you want to bite at this and we were like, yeah
Oh, you getting that one cry cry that one, please. Oh, fuck. We should a big fuck fuck lady
So there's there's no spot on this where I have it, but that's fine. We don't care
Just eating your fucking germs the modern ray melt was fire. That was really good. It was the modern ray melt was awesome
Yeah, I really like the grilled peppers and onions not particularly spicy, but that sauce was good
I had a little bit of zest and it reminded me of for the carols jr. Hardy fans
It reminded me of the philly cheese steak burger. I don't know if anyone's ever had that before
I don't know if that's no man. No one has had it. Oh, well one girl has and I think it's the same girl who screamed in and out
I think it's the one woman who keeps shouting
Whoo, I love everything. Fuck it. I don't know if that's quite one-to-one for me. It's not one-to-one, but it's close
Yeah, I guess I guess in terms of flavor. Nick you're starting to sound like the audience
Also Monterey a city in california, that's a lot of fun
A wonderful aquarium up there
Boy, check out that
The fact that Monterey is a city in california got a bigger round of applause than me saying I got the Monterey melts
This is a world's tallest midget competition right here
Who got a more medium sized reaction from the audience from saying facts
right
Who got a uh, uh, a sort of tepid ovation
Uh akin to an unenthusiastic golf audience
Did you watch big little lies nick? What's that big little lies the HBO miniseries? No, I didn't it takes place in Monterey, california. Whoa, that's really cool
HBO
We're just after that pop sweetheart
Uh, the Monterey melt was really good. Oh, hey another sandwich that was a winner
That chorizo burger
Oh
Oh, I ordered this bad boy. I love chorizo. I love burgers. I could not figure out what chorizo burger meant
Whether patty's made from like form chorizo. I got it
Oh my god, give me a second
Did not by the way did not cry when we were talking about our dead dads
This fucking chorizo burger dude, holy shit
Is that that's a that's just like a temporary thing, right? Are we fans of the chorizo burger?
It's very good. It's something. It's something special. There's something special
I'm sorry real quick one like a few years ago. I went to water burger and it was during a green chili burger promotion
I didn't know it was a promotion and I'm like, oh we gotta get I'm like been chasing that fucking burger for like half a decade
It's my fucking the one that got away
That's a that's a white whale being chased by a white whale
The kid's good
Weigur says a joke and then nods back and forth
That thing was fucking I really enjoyed it
Yeah, so it's it's chorizo between a couple of patties
Monterey jack cheese on that one as well peppers and onions and then the creamy chili sauce
Yeah, I thought that was really really really good. That was delicious. I honestly like that better than the monterey melt
I think that was that was maybe my favorite. I think the chorizo burger may have been my favorite as well
It's really good
Um, you and I almost ordered the same sandwich at one point. We came very close to it
The one well, yeah, let's say because we're in texas toast country when we're talking about these two
So we can we can discuss both of these at once. I got the patty melt. You got the honey barbecue chicken strip sandwich
Wow. All right. We had a lot of people. I I was in there pop for
What's that? What was the pop for for the patty melt or the I think it was both, right?
We were recommended both a lot. Like wait, hold on. Hold on. Give us an applause if you like that patty melt
All right, and make some noise if you're a maniac for that honey barbecue chicken strip sandwich
Oh, wow
There's one guy booing his brains out, but a lot of people liked it. Yeah
But both both fan favorites, you know, if you're one person booing while everyone else is cheering
It just sounds like you're adding to the cheers
We're not going to be like, well, it was like 99.9 pro. Honey, buddy
Both great sandwiches, but I really like that. So this is maybe what made me
Reminded of jack in the box, which I got
railed for earlier
But the
Just railed for that
This crowd ran the train on you over that
But the the texas toast reminded me of the grilled sourdough jack like it ran me that kind of bun
And I really liked it. I thought it was really really good, especially like on a fast food scale
For that because it's just a nice
Nice variation or a nice little uh the tangent from the the standard bun the standard sort of sponge dough that you get
I thought it was really good. It was one of my favorites of the meal. I loved it
Yeah, so the the patty melt is patty's onions
Monterey jack cheese
And the pepper sauce. Maybe I've copied the same description twice. No, that sounds right
And then the barbecue chicken strip sandwich was chicken strips barbecue sauce
Jack and then that it comes by default on the texas toast, which I think is the right call
I think you get that toast over that bun. Oh, yeah, shit, dude. I would put fucking everything on texas toast over regular buns
Yeah, give me everything on
Fucking garlic bread, dude
I grew up we used to get my mom used to buy these frozen texas toasts that were in the freezer
Holy shit
My mom would like make them as a side with pasta and then we would be like, oh, these are really good
And then when my mom was at like gone out of town one of my mom was turning tricks in atlantic city
When she's fucking on her knees in a borgata suite, uh
Me and my brothers would make like fucking huge ham and cheese sandwiches on texas toast
It was like so it's so slippery because it's like buttered already
Yeah, and you're like heat it up and you're just like it's like it leaves your lips shining
What now
Help me out here. Yeah, what specifically makes texas toast
Texas toast is it just a thick fucking slice of bread that's buttered
That's my understanding. It's just like a fucking big fat piece of bread that's butter and garlic and is garlic on all texas toast
Or that doesn't have to be
Whoa, no you monster
Garlic on bread not in our state
Garlic you fancy fucker
No, we put barbecue sauce on it
Yeah, texas toast is like how champagne has to come from one specific region in france. It's like a legal designation
It's a funny thing to throw your name on bread
This is bread right it's texas toast, but it's it's bread. It's just fat bread, right? Yeah, it's texas toast
You got a problem with that? No, sorry take it easy. Uh, we like trump
Let any listeners know got a great pull quote for a drop right there
Any listeners with some audio editing tools just got a pretty solid drop quote
What do we like better because it seems like the audience has a slight favoritism towards that barbecue chicken strip sandwich
What did you guys prefer of those two?
Of those two, I like I love the
I'm having a hard time lately with fast food barbecue sauce. Yeah, it's a little too sweet and syrupy
This one is pretty sweet. This one's pretty sweet, but they use the perfect amount
Like just a delicate smear rather than when you get like a fucking pulled pork sandwich at like a fast casual place
But that patty melt I think was above it still for me. I still like that beef, baby
Yeah, I agree. I like I really like the crispness of those chicken strips
I thought those had a really great texture to them
But I just I'm savory over sweet and I thought just like that the savory character
The umami quality if you will from those patty melts
Was really nice and uh, I didn't get that as much from the the chicken
I also think that the chicken strip sandwich wasn't as good as it could be. I feel like there's a version of that
That is the best. You thought we maybe got a sub par execution. We might have gotten a sub par one. Yeah
What did you say? I just said sub par execution jinx
I'm turning into nick
I look like Mitch, but I live like nick
You immediately started sucking yourself off
First thing I would do if I turned into nick. All right, let's take it easy. I'd suck them off
Let's all calm down. So wait, what was that? I said, let's all calm down
Hey, take it easy. Did you like did you which did you prefer Mitch?
I gotta say I prefer the patty melt even though I liked the chicken strip sandwich
Yeah, I I agree with you that I think there's probably a better version of that
Um, the water chicken sandwich was a little bit of a disappointment
That was the only letdown I had was the water chicken sandwich and you you were pointing out that the it's it served on an
Artisan wheat bun basically just a fried chicken sandwich on a wheat bun
And I guess it's it's trying. I mean is that like texas's version of something that's healthy
Put a fried chicken on wheat and also is wheat artisan. Yeah
Only in texas is like, uh, put the word artisan then these fancy ass motherfuckers will eat it
Uh, it was it was good good, but it was so far below the quality of anything else we had there
And doesn't doesn't rank top 10 in fast food chicken sandwiches. I've had. Yes. I there's just I maybe I ordered it wrong
I think maybe I should have preferred mayo to the what the what sauce or whatever was on it
Was it called savory water sauce savory water sauce?
I think I always just like want a chicken sandwich that's fried with just lettuce and mayonnaise
That's all I need right so that it all gets kind of like hot like a hot kind of
Maynazy. Oh, yeah hot salad
Thank you. Oh man. I wasn't gonna get there on my own
But thankfully I get to share my comedic timing with audience members
God where would I be without this dude?
Don't you have a dance to teach on a cruise somewhere?
The patron has hit the blood, baby
The other chicken item that we had was the what a chicken bites which are
Nuggets, but with a little bit more breading on them with gravy and I actually I fucking love that gravy that gravy was
Really good. I was going fries and onion rings and oh a spoiler alert for our sides
But I was dipping everything in that gravy
Holy shit gravy was once your favorite food. Absolutely. I stand by that and it's it was a great dip in sauce
It really is and you know that that country gravy if you get I mean
I'm just impressed that they can do that at a fast food restaurant at that level of quality, right?
Would you say gravy is the most universal dip?
Because this is something I've been like. Oh, man. This is a thesis. I've been working on for over a decade. Wow
Ranch ranch ruins too many things. No, but ranch is pretty good ranch is up there
The most calm. No, we should keep the dialogue going between the two of us. This is great for the listener at home
I mean, I think a lot of this is going to be based off of you know
What your favorites were when you grew up, right and and perhaps you might have some some, you know cultural predilections
Uh, but I would I like I'm I think ranch is actually a pretty damn good answer ketchup's pretty good
Sauce is pretty good like a salsa verde. Oh, that works on a lot of things
Man ketchup would but but then ranch goes with stuff the ketchup. You're not going to dip a carrot
That's what's true. That's why it's taking me so long to solve this riddle
What what college what college are you going to?
School of the hard knocks
I
I had it for a while. I thought I solved it where I was like it's a toss up between sour cream and gravy
Gravy's pretty good. I'm not talking about the best dip. I'm talking about the most universal the most versatile dip
Thank you sour cream is pretty good
You know what if you out there listening have an opinion on what the universal dip is hashtag?
Universal dip let us know
Did you just come up with that?
The live show they get to see the magic happen right in front of him
He's got a word document open that just says universal dip on it. You wrote this before
I think that's why I said it this show is scripted people don't know that
I put a ton of work into making this show as bad as it is
That's true
But I thought those bites are really good. Let's talk about the condiment the sides rather we touched on those fries and onion rings
Both good onion rings a true star though. I thought hey
Yeah, I'd like to I'd like to I gotta say this
Fries much better than in and out burgers fries
No
No, no, no
You're gonna say no, you're so full of shit
You're full of shit by saying no. No, you're you're fucking being a troll right here. You are
You know, you can you just loves it, baby a grandma is gonna stand you up next to her bingo card because you're a little troll
Hey, I'm doing like nick weiger jokes
You're such a troll you're gonna turn to stone with two of your friends
By being fooled by bill bow
Justin Timberlake is gonna record a hit song for your soundtrack. You're such a troll
Does you know anything else about trolls they live under bridges
I'm no troll. I'm being honest. They are better than in and out fries. I also troll disagree
I don't know about that. Also trolls in dungeon dragons can regenerate up to and including limbs
I believe it's one d8 hit points a turn
They are they're like akin to a wolverine, right? Yes. They have some regenerative capabilities unless you burn them
Oh, that's right. You got to kill them and burn. You got to kill them and burn them, baby
Here's a question I have because I always I was someone who would maybe read the dnd monster manual
But in playing necessarily much myself. So you read them. You got bullied by nerds
Hey, hey fellas, you mind if I borrow the monster manual
Do you want to play with that stick? No, I just want to read about the box. Hey, look, I
I played some pc versions of the dnd games. I played some balder's gates
Some never winter nights. I actually never got around to never winter nights balder's gates is a delight balder's gates are great, but
The uh, what were the monsters manual? Oh, yeah. Yes. So here's a question. I always had
What is turning undead all about turning undead is what uh, holy characters like clerics and paladins have
Okay, and that's a way to banish a certain amount of hit dice
Of undead carrot. We're gonna keep the audience throughout this. I got this a 40 minute story
I'm shocked. It's how you turning undead means you don't have to attack the undead
You can say like I try I attempt to turn undead and because priests have power over the mortal realm
But do they physically like turn around? No, it it
It destroys. Oh, it destroys that. Yeah, it's considered turning turning undead. Yeah
You're like you're one-shotting these guys. Yeah, you're one-shotting them because you have the power of
The holy light the lord or if you're a paladin depends on the order that you never
Ask
Gamers, I don't want to I nick uh mike. I know he spent the entire car ride going over how similar we are
You just this first time you ever call me money. I know I keep forgetting what your fucking name is
Uh
Mitch, uh, I've spent so long learning how much we have in common, but nick I
One time got made fun of for reading the monsters manual on the bus riding to school. Oh, no
Yeah, I was he then he took the kid outside and curb stomped him
I uh, I was tracing the terrasque one of the deadliest monsters and
Can we so the onion rings? Uh
I always I help body swap happen to you. What is this? I'm back. I'm back. Uh
Borbell curls
You can try to get by but you're gonna get trapped
Uh
Something I used to say unironically it is a good back to good old work
I just I pulled both my neck muscles
Flexing for one second there. I literally gravy just leaked out of my clavicle
It is a fascinating layer to you that you are someone who is at one point obsessed with pen and paper rpgs
Hey, I mean you've seen me. I'm over a thousand pages into book two of the stormlight archives words of radiance
I saw you just throws an axe at me
Yeah
Like gamers one of the things is like I feel like you're too cool for me to be around you
And so like I saw you reading that book and then I was just like I'm gonna read that book now
Like I just like that just made my decision like I'm gonna commit starting dressing like me
It's like single white male over here
Uh, but okay, the fries that I sleep till noon and don't notice any of this shit going on. So are we
It's just easier with you asleep
Then answering questions like, uh, who's water is this?
Let's go back to bed, Mitch
Do you think there's ghosts in this airbnb? Oh, that's right. I forgot about the ghost situation. First of all
Look in the closet, Gabriel. Look how far back the closet goes the closet went back
Very far at houston
It was a scary closet. There was a spiritual sense
The closet was so deep if you went all the way into it. You can find young mitch. I turned to say
houston had a very
Had a there was a spiritual sense to it and then this new place. I think it's a little bit haunted. We'll see tonight
Oh, it's gonna it's haunted for our fucking neighbors
I'm gonna only fart with my ass pressed to the wall
I'm gonna put my little tiny butthole up against an outlet
And fart into the outlet
Electrocute myself. I I I had a friend visit. Wait, hold on. You'd characterize your butthole as tiny
Comparatively it's very small. It's just two fingers wide. I mean, uh
The male g-spot is real open up your minds and your buttholes
Oh, Texas is on board. Texas surprises. Yeah, they're liberal in some ways
Now as long as you come brother
Texas y'all freaks
Did you did you say your dick went into a socket? No, my butt goes my butthole goes up to the side and I fart into it
I brought a friend backstage who was a lady
Oh
Relax everyone. She just sprinted out of here
friend
Um, and I said goodbye. I walked up the stairs
And gabris had his pants around his ankles at the top of the stairs. I was doing what they call a nude Blair witch
Where you take off all your clothes and just look into the corner of a room
And surprise the person when they come in
And I was like, what if my friend what if my friend had walked back up with me?
What if that was my plan all along?
Ditch this zero and get with this three zero zero
She ditched all of us
She's gone
Yeah, watch the show great choice the correct decision. You guys are all like, yeah, she made the right call
Let's get to our final thoughts on water burger. Here's how this is gonna work
Well, we've done three of these shows in a row now. We know how this works
We'll go around we'll give our final our closing argument if you will and then end with a rating
What's that three of these shows now it doesn't matter who you talking to the audience
Yeah, it was to the audience. We're also a little soto for you guys. Okay. All right. Look you can't do soto into a microphone
Go on say what you're gonna say
Yeah, that was a smart move to stop them there, mitch
We're gonna give our closing argument. That's what you call worth it
And then a rating from zero to five forks. John gabris will start with you
Pressure i'm gonna get booed no matter what I say. So that's right. I've been chasing the dragon. That is that green chili burger
I had five years ago
Um, I've hit the honey butter chicken biscuit the hbcb is bomb as fuck
But today today, I didn't get these two things that made me love water burger
That's two things that in my whole life
I've been linking to water burger when I'm in california and nick is going in standing in the room going in and out buddy
In and out buddy in and out buddy as he fucks me in and out in and out buddy
I am glad I sleep till noon
um
So I was bummed that I couldn't get these two things that I I always considered
but people on twitter were screaming about patty melts and the chorizo burger and
A fuck man water burger did not disappoint. I thought
I just said fuck like eight times in a restaurant review
Take that bourdain
Um, I love it. I love the spicy ketchup is worth bringing home in a carry-on
Very good sauces very good. I love the onion rings. Uh, the fries were solid the onion rings
I particularly love that chorizo burger was if I may use a nick term straight fire
I'm gonna have to go with
Four forks. Wow very solid review
All right, is it me?
Now what a burger we said this on the podcast before a confusing name. It sounds like water burger
Right sounds like wato burger from star wars. Hey, honey, you want the chorizo burger or something?
Your favorite character because it is pretty much racist
And he's the only racist character in all of the star wars movies
Um, I mean and you just even look at the name it could be what comma a burger question mark
You added a comma and a question mark. Yeah, what like if you don't see that when you look at it
I'm saying you could pronounce it in different ways. There's dashes like alphardy newman's catchphrase or mad magazine
What a burger. Yeah, what comma a burger question mark
Which was the question mark, please for the listeners at home
Mitch is doing a hand gesture to explain what a comma and a question mark. There we go
That's the question mark right there
Um, but let me tell you
I think it's
What a burger exclamation point because it's fucking
Good as hell
I went there before I compared to burger king. Everyone got mad at me. Don't boo again
um
And and maybe that was unfair. I thought it was a better version of burger king
It is a little bit carls jr. Jr. Which I love
In that it's burger centric and doing cool fun things with burgers. Yes, that's what they have in common
Thank you gamers. I thought you were gonna make fun of me. Yes a hundred percent. No, I we went over this. I'm the more articulate you
We're before and after but instead of exercise it's books
You know what and pussy whatever
I couldn't tell if when I was saying that line if I was gonna say pussy or books
I went with books, but I still said pussy after the fact I was gonna read 10 books this year
How you doing so far? It's almost over didn't get around to one
So zero books in 11 months how creepy if I was like I was gonna have a lot of pussy this year
Have a lot
I'd like to have a lot of pussy
Also not doing well on that as well
Anyway, hey the new year is coming 2018 whatever the year of books and pussy
For the spoon man, it's the year of books and pussy. Um
I um
I really really enjoyed water burger this time. It was great company. I think the location we gave it a hard time
But it was a great location. It was a good location showing on
It was entertaining that he already mentioned the spicy ketchup, but it's fucking awesome
And that should be more places just the condiment delivery service. I like that ketchup is in a fucking dipping packet
Yes, rather than a rip and squirt the ripping. I don't want to rip and squirt ever again
I never does anyone want to rip and squirt
None of you if there's does anyone like to rip and squirt
Fuck that shit
The Monterey melt was awesome the chicken strip sandwich the honey barbecue chicken strip sandwich
Was fucking awesome. The mini burger was great
The medium-sized coke I had is gigantic very large. Please make it smaller
The fries were good
Not great good
And the onion rings were very good too. I'm going four and a half four. Wow. Wow
Wow
I liked it. Wow. I liked it
Wow. Wow. Wow was right. Wow. Wow
Wow one fork hit it out, baby
Gets on a segway and goes away
Good night everyone
I can't wait till nick is parodied on silicon valley
I can be objective, okay my lifelong california
I have a strong allegiance to in-and-out burger
Which is my favorite. I understand that a large part
Of why we value a particular food or a particular chain
Is because of its attachment to nostalgia
That it's something that we liked growing up and that we get it again
And it comforts us in the same way that maybe a dish that our mom or dad might make will comfort us in adulthood
Hey fun breakdown
This is sadder than mine and mitch's dead dad conversation
So coming into water burger as a grown man
With a lifetime of in-and-out memories
I of course am naturally a little skeptical
But I try to put aside that skepticism and accept it for what it is
I really enjoyed the customer service
I really enjoyed the unique experience of having condiments brought to me
Which doesn't happen really anywhere
I thought the default burger was very good. It was a very good execution
I thought the specialty burgers were excellent and I think
that to me
Is that was what most informed me of this experience the idea that this is a place where you pick your favorites from a vast menu
It's not that you have a limited menu that they do right
It's that you go through this large menu and you pick your favorites
And then that's the thing you come back to whether it's a seasonal item that occasionally returns
Whether it's something that's always present
And for me
This is a place I'd go back to if there was water burger in california. I'd go to water burger
I'd pick it over carls jr. Hardy's I pick it over jack in the box with your favorites of me
With frequency wow. Wow. Wow
Is it better than in-and-out burger? I would say no
But that is me. That's my personal reality. That's my perspective
affected by my own childhood by my own
Fandom for something that is attached to my lifelong home, but
Based off of this excellent meal that I had today
I got to say
what
A burger as well
What the fuck
I am adding I'm repeating your
Uh
Annunciation of the phrase what a burger. That's what I'm saying as well. I agree with you on that point
What a burger?
Welcome to the golden plate club. What a burger four forks
People are standing and cheering people seem excited
It just got turnt in here
And look
I'm gonna say this
We discussed beforehand and we were like if we hate it, we're gonna go in on it
Be villains the entire time. Yeah, we're not gonna do what mitch and evan susser did in vancouver and pussy out
And get on stage and say we like something that we didn't actually like there was no easy exit for the japa dog episode
You guys lied about liking japa dog. You actually didn't like it
It was literally the most hostile environment. You're afraid of getting your ass kicked and it was in canada
Yeah, right the fuck was happening. You're afraid of vancouver rights. Fuck vancouver
and fuck japa dog
New revision revision score two and a half forks. Fuck big wow that's canon. Wow
I just I I'd like to see you back in front of a vancouver crowd and then immediately retract that as well
I just want to also say
That uh, I get a lot of slack for for uh for saying that I like wendy's more than chick filet
And I do I genuinely like the spices chicken sandwich. I agree with you. Stop yelling at me for that. I'm with you
But I will also say
Water burger is way way better than chick filet
I'm sorry. Wow
It is they're doing different things, but I prefer water burger to chick filet. Is that a discussion people have
No, I'm just telling them that I like water burger more than chick filet
He just keeps trying to pander to these motherfuckers any chance he gets hell fucking. Yeah
Yeah, I like red wine more than juggling. All right, sure
That's fair. Are you sure you're gonna go with the red wine?
It's time for a regular segment
I get a mystery beverage and our panel must guess what it is
It's the weiger challenge
And folks we're gonna need an audience volunteer for this one someone who's very eager
I saw a hand shoot up right in the middle. I think it was the guy that I was getting cruise director
I think a guy who was getting roasted for a shirt earlier by gabris. He's gonna make his way to the stage give this guy a hand
He's he's walking over here
I'm gonna get this set up guys real quick. This table should have room for four
Come on. What's up, buddy? Oh, we're gonna go that way. We're going that way. Oh, yeah

If there was only someone I could get my mouth there I was halfway towards stop it
I was halfway thinking I was like, oh, I should bring some paper towels out in case there's a little bit of spill
I was like, I don't need to bring a fucking roll of paper sound like a world war two letter. Oh, this is a mess
It's all over my pants. Stop. Okay. Look it's sticky everywhere. Stop. I've hurt your eyes
I'm gonna try to handle this as much as possible
Let's distract skylar and talk to him a little bit because we're not supposed to be looking at what next

All right. I would pass this over uh skylar. You get this uh star wars cup

Oh, okay, I get it. Oh because it would be a medium sized level of enthusiasm for that because i'm not as foxy
As say a matthew mccana. Hey, yeah, I think the longer we break it down the better the joke works
I was trying to I was trying to parse it myself. Hey, that's how you know, it's good
We were right schuyler schuyler is allergic to the drink
Did you give him your cough? No. Hey, we'd be magic mic dxl
Not a good joke because I couldn't remember the name. There's dxl magic mic dnr
Do not resist it. There you go

I'm really obsessed with the smell this because it smells sort of like
Cold medicine right a little bit. Yeah
Schuyler, do you have any sort of like are you like a sense memory or you're like, oh, this tastes like something I've had before
I know schuyler knows it and I know it too. Oh, you guys both know it

The shittiest prize I've ever seen in my life
Candy cane not a good candy. No, it's like brushing your teeth, but which worse

Hi, uh, I if you guys were put in charge of food law
If you could create one executive order on the way food is prepared or consumed punishable by death
What would that law be? Wow punishable by death. That's a little harsh. That adds a layer that I really enjoy
Salads need to be above 92 degrees
I think you guys I think you guys know what I'm gonna say I scream it on every episode I'm on
I scream it and every deli I hang out in which is 40 to 60 hours a week
Oh
Tomatoes get the fuck off of sandwiches. I don't like it. I don't like it. I don't agree
Unless the sandwich has tomato in the title a la blt or
Mama's tomato burger get that fucking shit out of here. Sorry
I'm sorry. I agree. Thank you
I got one
was here
And I may not agree with this idea of texas justice
As an opponent of capital punishment, but I would perhaps impose a
life sentence
On people who insist on putting truffle oil on everything get that truffle oil out of there
Too much truffle on shit. I agree truffle fries. They're played out. Leave them in the 90s move on
Yeah, leave them in the 90s with chipotle aioli
Right
What do you think mitch?
Much like what the hell
Swat teams around in the place, right? There's a radio take the shot
Why'd you kill her right? I shot him with the highest caliber sniper rifle bounced off that fucking marshmallow and have pats at
We got liar every house while the third he's in the building
What's your answer mitch much like jfk before me
I think that food should be able to do whatever the hell it wants to do. I'm going to put no fucking restrictions
You can prepare it any way you want much like jfk before me was one of his thoughts and beliefs
It's not what you could do for your country, but food should have no rules
I remember that's right. Thanks so much for your question. All right next question. Great question. Andre
Hi, what's your name? Hi, emily. Hi emily. What's your query?
Recently, I've had two friends get engaged over food one with torches one at medieval times
What is your dream food proposal?
Dream food proposal. You said it seems like you had one immediately. I mean, I know
Oh, that's right. What what you have one. Do you have one for real? I
I should just I could tell this is be super fast
I went out with my wife my well, she was my girlfriend then we got shit faced and we ate
Cheesy covered tater tots at gwanis yacht club a little brooklyn kind of like a divey place drank a
Fucking hot dogs chili cheese dogs and tater tots covered in cheese
Came home fought the whole walk home. We were fighting over like the differences between men and when we we've since resolved it
And when we got home
I proposed like almost out of spite just like win an argument
I proposed and my wife like she's like you left the overhead lighting on
I'm wearing my bad period underwear and we fucking ate cheesy tater tots tonight
And I was like on a knee and I was like, uh, and she's like, uh, yes
So I would say cheesy tater tots
I
Fantastic
Thanks for the question. Emily. Uh, so we're gonna take uh, we're gonna take three more questions just in the interest of times
I apologize to anyone queued up behind the third person in line there
You keep switching mics, I do I don't know why I was switching mics
But if anyone else has if anyone else wants to chat after the show
We're gonna picture whatever we're gonna do a little meet and greet in the lobby about 10 minutes after we wrap
So we can see out there and that is definitely an exaggeration
Cambridge fire drunk now
Speak for yourself. Uh, it looks like we got someone in a birthday boys t-shirt. Hi. What's your name? Yeah, dude. What's up?
I'm Joel. Hi Joel. What's your question? We never answered the last question. Mine's pizzeria Regina
We're gonna fucking top his in his actual engagement. Oh, yeah
We can't follow that shit. I'd have Wally come in with a ring on his back
It's not food related
For me it is
You're gonna eat your pet cat the day I get engaged
Can't have too many things going on at once christ in order to prove my loyalty to you to hunt. I'm gonna eat my cats
You're the only woman in my life now
Engagement immediately. I love all in our realm. I'll never eat them next question. Go ahead Joel
I like to eat french fries at the house and I collect condiments from different fast food restaurants
Do you think there's a fast food restaurant that has like the most superlative version of a condiment?
Mmm
Come on. There's one answer we all know right immediately, but go ahead. What are you gonna say?
I was gonna say we denigrated it earlier
But I do really love that chick-fil-a sauce. That's a damn. Oh as an individual sauce
That's a really good sauce that you don't immediately think McDonald's sweet and sour sauce
What? I don't know
For oh my god. I like what a burger. What the fuck?
McDonald's sweet and sour sauce is amazing
It is it is it is uh water burger spicy ketchup is a very special

So we're all human and uh, we go through the effort of you know getting our left
Leftovers together and boxing them up and then I always end up leaving it on the table and leaving the restaurant

And have it retain its structural integrity
And you just leave it out on the dining room table and take bites of it over the course of a week
Right when it's finally the size of like a nerve football. That's what I'm gonna try to chomp into that side of a bitch
That sounds fucking great. Yeah, like an onion, but instead of those layers. It's fried skin. Yeah
