Welcome to guys, the podcast about guys. I'm Brian. Can't Do the Accent this week for Taco Bell guys. I was going to do, everybody knows the Yo Kira Taco Bell. Not going to do it. I've recently been in trouble for Brian's accent on the week. That's not even in trouble. I think some people are sort of have been mentioning that you are, I mean, you're just getting dangerously close to, you know, busting out fully racist

accents on the podcast regularly and yeah I mean accidentally it's all accidental because I'm always just trying to do British this guy yeah this guy's always doing accent dentals you know where he accidentally lays out a racist accent oopsies but there is a commercial there is a precedent for the little dog from Taco Bell would say yo Kiro Taco Bell so is that that's what you're going to try to hide behind you're saying I'm not doing an impression I'm doing an impression of a dog I am doing an impression of a small dog from the 90s. I used to run around doing the accent. I'm not going to lie everybody.

When the Okiro Taco Bell dog was going around, that's all I was doing with my life. I don't think anyone fell off their seats. They did. I don't think anybody was surprised by that. Are you an offensive accent when he was 20? No. I mean, that was a hit commercial, though. I do think that, like, that's what they wanted, right?

I mean, they were trying to get that. They wanted me to do it. It's like when I went to, I'll get, bring our guest in. We got Brian Gar here with us today. Hi, Brian. Hey, guys. I'm going to say this right now. I went to a rap con.

This is a good example. I would just see ASAP Rocky back in like 2012 or something like that. And school boy Q was opening for them. And I don't remember the other person, but school boy Q's out on stage. And he's losing his mind. He's wrapping his head off. And that sounded very white. I'm standing in the audience.

This guy's wrapping his head off. This guy's wrapping his head off. Holy Lord, this guy's got all kinds of raps and rhymes. This guy is really flowing. Like telling the guy next to me and tapping his shoulder. This guy's got so many rhymes. Jerry Christmas. But he had a song where he used.

the N word like so many times. It was just like half of the chorus is just that. And he's, you know, there's a bunch of white people at this concert too. And he's standing on stage. He's like, come on, you guys can just say it. Go for it. You know what? I want to hear you sing along with me.

Please just say it. Hey, you guys can say it. And half of the room was just like, no, I won't be saying that. Like everybody was kind of standing there. Like, I don't think so. Some people are like, I've seen this crap laid before. No thank you. I am just going to go to the washroom now, perhaps.

Take a bathroom break. And that's what the, yeah, that, it reminded me of that because I just, it's like, oh, you can go ahead and do the accent. That's fine. And it's like, hmm, don't think I'm going to do it. I'm afraid I will not be doing that. Well, I appreciate that. The only accent I'm really allowed to do is Canadian. Yeah, the Canadian accent is hitting.

People are loving your Canadian accent. And I appreciate the growth you've shown on the podcast over the past month or so. where you've decided to stop doing your accent of the week, which, yeah, you can check out over on the Shocktober on the Patreon. I'm becoming a huge Patreon plugger. Listen to my new Canadian accent. This is a good one here. It goes, maybe we're going to go, uh, what's the word?

Curling. Hey, let's go curling, bud. What's the word? Curling. It's like a famous board. We're about to do curling guys with Colin. Okay, anyway, we're doing Taco Bell guys. Chris does.

he's left out of this conversation because they just got their first Taco Bell in Vancouver recently I mean I think we've had it for a while now maybe in Vancouver proper but in like you know the lower mainland which is kind of the surrounding area I feel like they're it just never I don't know man people are like they're like yeah whatever we got our kind of shitty we got like taco time or something it's not the same I'm sure it isn't but it's also bad and has similar items. But Taco Bell is a special thing. I know. I understand that. I certainly am, I'm engaged enough with American people to understand the significance that Taco Bell has in the culture. Yeah. And I had Taco Bell the other night while I was prepping this episode. I was like,

I'm going to be enjoying some Taco Bell. What did you have? And it was good. What did you have? Why did I have, I had three chili cheese burritos, which sounds like a lot to me. That's not. To me, that sounds like a lot. They're so small. Actually, that's one of the big complaints Taco Bell guys have. So, like, the burritos have gotten small. For some reason, they compare them to a vape, like an elf vape bar. They're like, they're elf vape bar size. And I'm like, that's a weird unit of measurement.

I understand that, like, if you go to a proper, you know, Mexican place or whatever, right, and you get a burrito, it's very large, right? It'll cost you, like, $15 or whatever, like $12, and it'll have, like, beans and rice. It'll be a big, huge, significant thing, which will be a big, huge, significant thing, which will be your whole meal versus that's not what it is when you go to Taco Bell and get one of their little numbers. It's the chili cheese, Bree. I'll show you a little picture. And Brian, I have a question for you, Brian, I'm Brian with an eye.

Have you, are you a, are you a Taco Bell consumer? When's last time you had Taco Bell? I, yes, on occasion. And first of all, regarding accents. So I grew up in Wichita Falls, Texas, which is like the northern part of the state, right, on the border of Oklahoma. I had no idea until right now that doing that accent was a bad thing. So thank you for, thanks for bailing me out on that one.

Here's a picture, guys. Okay, yeah, I want to see this thing here. That's the chili cheese marita. It doesn't look good in that photo. So this is, I'm guessing this is not an official photograph that Taco Bell is putting out like a promo photo. We're looking at somebody is taking a photo of this. This looks like the type of thing you'd get at a,

like a frozen one from a grocery store that you've heated up or whatever. Or it's like 2 a.m. and you're high. And it's like, yeah, I want to eat like eight of these. And I'm going to go home. Like, yeah, that's what talk. I feel like Taco Bell, they're around in Texas. But it's not as big because you can also just like go to. There's like a dude in a food trailer nearby who's selling burritos for like five bucks that are like incredible.

That will just blow Taco Bell out of water. Yeah. That's, you guys, you guys have the. you have so much Mexican food but also good prices because I guess that's a difference right a lot of places probably have a lot of Mexican food but it's like I talk about could still succeed because it's so cheap but if you got really good street food that is like on par price wise or maybe a little bit more expensive it'd be tough for them to because I'm looking Brian are you show is that someone's dirty diper to me it looks like a dirty diaper I don't know I'm not being I'm not trying to be funny if you

You guys are looking at this photo. That's what I had for dinner two nights ago. Two, three of them. And a casadilla and order of nacho fries. To me, what it looks like, yeah. What's known as a blowout. If you're a parent, it's known as a blowout. That's what that looks like.

I've had to change many of those over the years. I'm not going to lie. I would still eat that. It's so good. 100% I would house that in 20 seconds. So what it's so good. All it is is beans and cheese. essentially. It's chili like for a cony dog, like that chili. Yeah, yeah. So it's really

wrap it up in a burrito. It's really messy then. It's not that messy, no, because they don't put enough in there. Yeah, exactly. I see. I see. So it's not even squirting out the sides. It's like you'd expect it to put some air kind of like shoots out of the side like a little dude or something. Here's an interesting question asked on R slash Taco Bell. And listen, I'm, I'm with this guy kind of. Okay. But, I'll tell you why I'm, I'm, I'm conflicted about this. He goes, if Taco Bell charges extra for add-ons, which they do, that's how they get you now. They have made their menu.

That's how they get you. Seriously, they've made their menu endlessly customizable, but everything costs like another dollar. So you, I saw people making $25 barritos from Taco Bell just putting the add-ons on in the app. Like you can, you, they, they, you know, but he goes, if Taco Bell charges extra for add-ons, why won't they give you a discount when you remove things? Ah, just saying. Yes. Wait, this is like, this is philosophical question.

A $25 taco bell burrito, that's like going into Walmart and being like, I'll have a mint coat, please. Yes. Yeah. What's the nice? I'll take the nicest thing in the Walmart. Thank you. I'll take your nicest shotgun. Like, yeah, you just came into a bunch of money,

but you literally don't know about any other restaurant other than Taco Bell. What food could be. Well, I guess I'll go really splurge a Taco Bell. I'll get ranch, Chipotle sauce, nacho cheese, chicken steak, yeah, no, put some of those on the side. I'm going to take those home with me, actually, darling. The funny is the guys, like double beef. Like, I always switch the beef with steak because the beef really gnarles me out.

And I know I eat the chili. I get it. So the beef gnarles me out a little bit. Yeah, because there was a whole big story about yoga mat stuff. It's the same thing with Subway. I just am weird about the beef. You think there's yoga mats in the, in the taco? There could be yoga mats.

It's weird. Yeah. But it's the steak, is the steak sort of like what level of? It's the form factor of steak. So I trust it a little more. Nowadays they can do that pretty easily. You don't make it seem like it's the food to trick it. But you're saying that at least this is meat.

It's a chunk of steak that I can look at. It's probably bad steak. It's harder to trick you though. It's harder to get a yoga mat into a piece of steak. Yes. Thank you. There you go. Well, there was a comic friend of mine.

And this was years ago, but he had a bit about how he went to Taco Bell. and they had a sign up that said, we're out of order because the meat hose is not working. Yeah. And he had a whole bit of what the fuck is the meat hose. I would imagine it's the hose that the meat comes out of. But what, like, what is that meat? I mean, I think a lot of the, I don't know how the meat comes out.

I know I worked at McDonald's. Yeah. Which does, it's not applicable to Taco Bell. It's a totally different thing. But I do know that all the sauces gave in those caulk. guns where like you you you know that makes sense that makes sense yeah you look like you're going to grout your bathroom with this shit but that's good for efficiency I feel like that's very efficient but I do think they still do that they do that at all kind of places like I know I'll go to A&W and

they'll pull out one of them grout guys and start you know putting the mayo on there well this guy goes you're thinking of only the cost of the actual sauce and not the logistics behind it in general all food joints would rather customers not fuck with the menu because it's one of the top causes of kitchens getting behind drive-through times getting high and mistakes being made all of which cost money i remember when i was in high school working at burger king and we had a one dollar double cheeseburgers i'd get orders for 10 15 20 at a time and i could do it all in no time it's like muscle memory oh braggart uh now give me five to six doubles that are all altered in some way and now i got to keep looking at the order and doing each one separately it could feasibly take me as long as

doing five to six altered doubles as a would 20 stock doubles. I've worked for many high in places that on busy nights would outright refuse to alter the menu on anything. The cost of food in most restaurants is only like 30% max. Everything else about the business is why the menu prices would be so high. I'd let the servers order food at cost when working. They would get a plate. We charged $80 to $95 for for $25 to $30. So he kind of explains it.

Then the next guy goes, of course I'm thinking of the logistics. They're just being dicks. Of course. Listen. Who are you talking to? Of course I'm thinking what the fucking... I'm Larry Legit. My name is Larry Logistics.

I look at my username. Of course I'm fucking thinking of the logistics. You know, of course I'm thinking of logistics. They're just being dicks. I can go to Burger King and ask for any sauce they have and they'll put it on for free. Same with extra pickles or lettuce. McDonald's does charge, but not a lot at all. Taco Bell used to do it for a decent price.

The amount they give you does not justify... Just this guy who's like, he kind of knows the ends and now it's like where he can get a little bit of a fucking deal. But it's like for an extra pickle. You know what I mean? He's like, oh, I'm a bit of a man about town. Like he's taking a date around town or whatever. He's like, no, we're going to want to avoid those. That's going to be 50 cents extra if we want any type of mayo situation on our burgers.

Yeah, he's like the worst fucking man about town ever. It's like the opening scene at Goodfellas. Taco Bell when they're going through the Copa. That's not the opening scene, but you know what I think. It's funny. He's like, do, hey, do not get extra sour cream at Taco Bell. We're going to go to Burger King. We'll get you some pickles instead.

Yeah, we'll get, yeah, listen, listen, I understand you're a little hungry, but we're not getting extra sour cream here. Instead, in its place, I'll drive down the street and buy you some pickles or get you some pickles. I mean, yeah. The pickles are free. Honestly, I can fucking basically walk in the back alley there, like knock on the back door. They'll hand me pickles out of the back door. I know a guy at Wendy's. I'll give you a whole bag of them.

You'll be great. And, and, you know, you go to McDonald's and get those onions. Don't get onions on your burrito. You get the little onions from McDonald's. They'll just, they'll throw them on the bag. What you do is you buy the burger and, you know, wipe them off onto the thing. It works great. He's making five stops for her various.

to get the one thing she wants to save like 60 cents total. This guy goes, because then you'd see their margins. You'd notice adding potatoes cost 80 cents, but removing them only gives you 30 cents. Otherwise, you can remove every ingredient and Taco Bell what owe you money for each empty tortilla. Good point. Good point.

You're just like, yeah, I would like a tortilla with cheese, and I'll take my $2 now. I'll have to, I'll have to, chili cheese burrito no chili no cheese yeah just like those guys who figured out how to game the system on like uh like uh lotteries or whatever you know but they're doing it an extreme coupon yeah coupons that is the culture around these guys i'll tell you that right now the culture around these guys it's like how do we figure out how to make taco bell cheaper to the point where they figured out ways where you can like order one menu item and then have this and then add the stuff from another

menu item and remove and get something free you know what I mean they're cheaper for a cheaper price like oh I with the cheesy bean or ice burrito but I want to add meat and take out the rice or whatever you know what I mean and it becomes the thing that they originally wanted but for cheaper like that's it's like a lot of that do you think that's a result of the United States failing economy at the moment. I think the economy's great over here for everybody. Everybody's doing great over here. Even Marjorie Taylor Green was told about.

She loves it. She's never been better. Well, I think also. Never been better with us. Just great. We're living well over here. Listen, and I just want to be clear. Things ain't great up here either.

You can get free pickles here. You can get free pickles. You can get free pickles. You can do all kinds of things with pickles here. we I I don't know what it's like fast food wise but we ain't got no cheap fat like the fast food prices now you're dropping a 20 spot if you go to a fast food believe me just get any kind of it like just a simple meal you know like I know I love the guys on the Taco Bell sub bread they're like it's cheaper to go to chilies and it's like no it's not no because that's all more expensive that's even yeah everything is incrementally everything's more expensive now but it is like

I understand the people trying to get deals at Taco Bell because it's like, hey, fast food is for, you know, people who generally speaking don't have that much money to begin with. And this shit has become so fucking expensive. It's like, hey, man, I'm coming here to eat this shit food. I don't want to be paying a much of fucking money for it. I'm going to feel like shit in the morning. At least let me get a deal for it. So I kind of do, I understand that mindset.

that that was like the draw of taco bell when i was a kid like they were i forget but they had some or maybe it was taco bueno but kind of the same thing they had a thing where it was like 49 cent soft tacos yeah yeah or it was something like that so it was like 79 79 99 were the three prices exactly so for whatever group you were in for your baseball team or your like church group somebody would go an adult would go and get 30 soft tacos and just feed everybody like that That was the whole, the cheapness was the whole thing. It's like, yeah, it's not great, but it's 49 cents for a taco. We were saying that was that was McDonald's, right?

It's like they had the 69 cent cheeseburgers or hamburgers or whatever. We just go get eight of them or whatever and eat all of those. But is, is, is it cheaper than the other ones? It is if you, okay, look, I go out to eat a lot because I don't have a lot. I don't put groceries in the house and I live downtown, so I just go get dinner a lot. like how you describe you know what i mean i just don't put groceries in the house but it's just i'm not i'm bad i don't want to buy stuff and not use it i think a lot of people are that way um yeah i don't think you're alone and that i can and uh and yeah talk i had talked about the other night and it was like

40 bucks but it's cheaper than what i usually get so i was very happy with it you know what i mean but when i think about it now 40 bucks it was delivered by the everybody before you get all crazy how much food you order and stuff i got it delivered i tipped hot well and all that stuff before you give brian shit he was getting his taco bell delivered to his door step fucking hell this guy goes because consumers tolerate it that's why and then a guy replies he goes this can be said about literally everything the reason taco bell exists is because the customers tolerate it and then he replies and goes exactly if you don't want it to happen don't tolerate it and show it with your money yeah boycott time

They're going to go out of business. If you boycott Taco Bell, they will. It's like I used to always say this about Walmart and I don't go to Walmart. Okay. I go there sometimes. To be honest, I do grocery shopping there because fucking groceries you're so expensive. Walmart's one of the only places around down that has a reasonably.

Why don't keep groceries in my house? Yeah, I know. There wouldn't be an issue for you. And there's no wall. The Walmart's nowhere near. Like I would have to drive like 30 minutes to get to a Walmart. Walmart's at Metro Town Mall. My favorite mall, Brian.

that's where Walmart is. So, I mean, I'm there all the time anyway. But I remember boycotting it. And now I'm like, I don't think I'm doing much good. You know what I mean? I don't go there, but it's not going anywhere. At one point, you start, you sort of, you maybe caught a news story in the financial section about their quarterly earnings.

And you thought this boycott might not be gaining up steam here. These guys didn't make my $200 a month and they might go out of business or so. You know what I mean? This guy goes, I've come to the conclusion. is that Taco Bell will only be an out-of-town special needs traveling fast food. If that, I ordered four, if that, I ordered four items. It was 2746 and I forgot the drink. Yeah, I swapped steak on three quarters of it and it sucks.

$30 could have, $30 could have got me a lot more food from a similar, similar culinary style place. Oh. Yeah, so he did the steak swap too. He did what you do. You gotta put the steak. Oh, yeah. I mean, it's always going to cost more to do steak instead of yoga mat burger. So they're basically what kind of brilliant from Taco Bell.

They've made just the nastiest beef. And they're just like, no, no, no, our tacos are really cheap. No, no, seriously, take some of that. It's just like, looks like literal, like heaping piles of dung. And they're like, no, no, put that in there. Or you can fucking upgrade $2 and you get the steak, you know. I feel like it's also like a relic from an arrow when, like, just food in general, I feel like was worse.

Like, just we didn't expect as much. Like you didn't have sort of higher end. Like there might be one in town. Like where I like there might be a couple. But like you sort of knew fast food was shit and like accept it. But like Taco Bell was like a pillar of fast food. Like if you're going for fast food, we're going to get burgers. We're going to get fried chicken or we're going to get Taco Bell.

Yeah. Or pizza maybe. Pizza is different. Pizza's different. It's mostly delivered. Maybe slice pizza. But like, yeah, you're right. It's going to be like McDonald's KFC Taco Bell.

Those are kind of the big three, I think. Yeah. At the age I am and, you know, you guys are both close to me. Like, we got hit in about 2007 or so. I think it was 2001. That was us. Don't you fucking act like it happened to you. It's not funny either.

It's stolen dollar. I know. It happened to all of us if you think about it. Whatever. Me personally happened to me, not you. Happened to all of us. I was there. I happened to my friend Steve.

I was at the building. I was at the building. Brian ran as easy. I was there. In the fucking towers. It was scary. No, no, no. I was legit scared.

No, I was legit scared. But I'm saying around 2007. And maybe this is just because I was. such white trash but I that's when I was like sort of hip to like local food you know what I mean like when I was growing up local meant something bad it's like oh that's a mom and pop rat well I don't know what they're doing with that food I want to go to Applebee I don't remember if it was 2007 but there definitely was a shift where it just like sort of the the emphasis seemed to be on yeah eating local that's like a big initiative um

I think happened like, seemed to happen like all over the place. It did. It was food ink. I believe it was the movie food ink happened. And supersized me. Supersized me. Supersized me. Same thing.

I boycotted McDonald's for a year. And I was like, why are they still in business? Yes. And that's the thing. That's the thing. It's like now at that point then we were taught to believe that all the fast food was just the worst crap on the planet. You should never eat it.

and you should only eat it. But by the way, they continue to do really good business. So everyone believed that, but everyone was still like, when no one was looking, everyone was like, maybe I'll have a little quarter pounder. Exactly. Like, that was because I don't know, the stuff. I will say, because I'll still do it now every now and then. I had some fucking chicken McNuggets from McDonald's the other day.

Like, I don't do it that often, but I'll do it sometimes. The stuff tastes so damn good with that barbecue sauce, you know? I mean, I love it. little vinegar on my french fries i mean i'm it's i guess i'm macdonald's french fries you just put ketchup on us no actually you can put fucking vinegar on it and it's delicious they don't have vinegar yeah well that's because you guys aren't because you guys aren't you bring your own fucking commonwealth and so you don't get vinegar at your macdonald but we get vinegar at our macdonalds because we're part of the fucking commonwealth like a fish and chips

fish and chips type shit although it is white vinegar but it's i grew up having it so i i i really enjoy it but I prefer malt vinegar on my french fries like a normal Commonwealth person here this guy has a good point and I thought I thought this post would be good for everybody chick filet is the most ethically correct fast food place because of isn't that the one homovolving they don't charge they take all he goes they're the only ones to give you a discount if you remove ingredients and the only one let's use multiple rewards at once oh okay so I see But they are ethically correct also. I wouldn't call them that.

I would lean away from ethically correct. It's well run though, chick filet. Like they might hate gay people, but have you ever been to a chick flet? You'll have the nicest, most fresh-faced Mormon kid taking your order and like getting quick. It was right. There has like a guy with a fucking tablet in his hand like standing in the drive-thru. And there's two lines and they're just moving so far.

It's crazy. Yeah, it's, listen, I'm a noted bisexual, and I really enjoyed their sauces and their waffle fries. And I went to, you got a problem with the waffle fries? The sauces. Oh, the sauces are fantastic. I hate sauce so much. Oh, okay. You're just not, you're an anti-s sauce guy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I, I went to the one on, close to Hollywood. I went to the one in Los Angeles. I've said before when, me too. When Stefan and Rob Wisman lived in Hollywood, they lived really close to a Chick-fil-A, so we would go eat there quite often. And it was really, really good. I will say that. For fast food, it was really good.

So this next post is from R-slash Taco Bell. I need to share you a picture. This caused a lot of consternation. We're going to read a real argument here. Okay, you want to add $1 sour cream? No, thanks. I'll bring my own. now a guy

this motherfucker brought his own sour cream so you can see why he needs to bring his own because he has so much on that there's never been more sour cream on anything and by the way he brought it in a baggie like a

not a zip lock even a sandwich bag filled with sour cream that he then had to like open the corner of you can kind of see how it came out with the little lines on it from the top of the bag you know He's got a custom dispenser. Yeah, he's got his own gun.

I mean, I like a lot of... A astounding amount of sour cream. I like a lot of sour cream. He wants his sour cream on the side of taco. Yeah. This is, yeah, as a, like, I'm, I'm, this is what I like on my talk. I like sour cream. I like some jalapenos, you know.

I like some cheese. I like a pretty simple, some lettuce. It's like an $8 taco. But this amount of sour. cream is if to the listeners this is a disgusting amount of sour cream there's no chance you would be tasting

anything else in this other than sour cream you would have it spilled all over you would be squirting out the sides all over your shirt it's a nightmare you got it in your console in your car oh yeah you know what I mean where in one of the cup the empty cup holder because there's never anybody else in the car with you you'd be smelling something

fucking months on and realize it's fucking some of this sour cream that squirted out of this insane taco you made. This guy goes, at what point do you just cook at home? Well, that's a good question. Well,

the OP does reply to that and he goes, I cook at home all the time. Actually, I'm in the long process of making Giatzaku ramen, but it won't be ready to assemble until tomorrow. Taco Bell sounded good for something quick. So,

he went a little overboard with his defense. You know what I mean? He's like, no, I'm making some like, super long involved like i'm actually like a crazy chef that you can't even comprehend it's like i don't know if i believe them for sure but that's you can yeah listen just because you can cook at home and then also go out like that's well i think what most people do well the guy replies this is this argument

is so good guy replies it goes but you think it's unreasonable to drive to the store to buy taco ingredients so he's like why you make your own fucking tacos which is the psycho thing to say because because you're going it's obvious you're going to taco bell because you don't want to make your own fucking taco that's the answer to the question but the guy's just like dishes you don't have to like yeah i mean it's also yeah of course there's like ingredients that like how many tacos are you going to make you can't buy like a single serving amount of taco stuff so now you have a bunch of leftover stuff are you going to use it for other things he addresses that okay Okay, okay.

He goes, you're missing the whole point here. Let it go. The OP says it. Let it. No, trust me. Let it go. Fucking drop it. I'll do this all day.

And he did. This guy did it. Yeah, this guy's like, I'm warning you right now. I'm sorry. I will not stop. I am in the middle of making a four-day-long ramen. I have all the time in a, that's what actually I didn't read the post where he explains the ramen, but it's like something that's like three, it takes three days.

to assemble it and he's like explaining it. It's like, okay, he goes, uh, I'm really not missing the point. You seem to be missing mine. Instead of telling me to let it go, why don't you just move on from this discussion? Block me if that's what you feel you must do. So, so this, this is a standoff where they're just like, they've learned obviously is like, this is the old school like, I want to say dirt rig Twitter, like early Twitter kind of mindset of like the first person who blocks is the loser, or, you know, the person who, like, this is some internet brain shit for sure, where it's just like,

neither one of them wants to continue this, but they're both too proud to walk away because they don't want to lose. So they're just like, well, why don't you block me, good sir? And then he goes, that's okay. I believe the block button is available for both of us, my good man. And he goes, that's okay. Just your argument's invalid.

Then somebody jumps in. We got to jump in. So this is a, this is known as a, Bram Stoker. Oh, see, I was thinking they were really heated and they were just two more exchanges away from like threatening each other and like saying DM me or address. Well, they do and they did end up DMing each other later on. So the person jumps in and goes, how does I adding a single ingredient?

I mean that he should cook at home. And our guy pops back and he goes, there's only a handful of other ingredients in the taco. If you're going to take the time to prep the food at the house, like packing sour cream into a little baggie and sealing it shut, you might as well just make the taco at the house. Well, I don't know about that. I think, again, you're going to have to go to the store in one of them. You have to drive and then come back home and then make it.

And then, again, I think a big thing for people is the dishes, those darn dishes. When you make tacos, you got those dishes and they're nasty. You're making the tacos in the pan or whatever. And it's like you got to really, you got to wash that right away. You got to get a soap going on it, maybe. Yeah, cooking for one sucks. stupid. Yeah, it's pointless. And like, I'm a sour cream guy. I feel like, because like, that's his condiment that he like, like, I have a big thing of ketchup at home because they never give me enough ketchup. So I get it. And like, you bring it. Do you bring it out with you? You bring it. No, I don't bring it out. No, I go with that. But I don't bring it. Oh, because you're ordering food. So you just know like, yeah, that's reasonable. And I got my big ass thing of Heinz. And yeah, every bite needs to have ketchup on it. It's like, um, I kind of, the only thing I'm down on is when I see the phone. And I, I kind of, the only thing I'm down on is when I see the phone. is like, it is just a bag.

And I'd like to see him get a nicer, more professional dispenser for his sour cream, just a little more, like one of the guns or whatever, like talk to one of the, you know, cozy up to one of the workers or whatever as a manager and say, where do you get your guns from? You're just, you know, at a fast food. I'll tell you what I would do. I have a great thing that I would do. I would clean out a hand soap dispenser. Oh.

Just clean it out, you know. and then you can just... What about a squirt gun? I mean, a squirt gun is a classic one. I don't think it to make it through the hose, but I would try it. Yeah, I would try it.

I'm not saying, maybe you can water it down a little. They do use low fat. I mean, there must be, maybe you have to, yeah, potentially you might have to, you know,

make the hole a bit bigger on the squirt gun. You know, you get your tools out a little bit. And instead of having just a little squirt on the end, you take the whole front part of it off, right?

And then you just have a dispenser. I don't know. This is one of those things or one of his butt. like for for the holidays or something needs to get it for him like as a joke but also a real give hey man I got you a gun for one of those for the sour cream so now you can do it and everybody will have a good laugh but he'll use it but he'll yeah everyone has a laugh and then he gives him a hug and then he's just like man I totally respect the way you eat dude like he says that in his ear

and it's like a really nice moment I'm looking at how much sour cream is on the app we don't care about sour cream we want to know how much a dollar it's $90 it's $9. This is a sour cream dispenser. Can you look at how much? I mean, what would you use? I guess an icing, an icing gun or whatever, right? An icing gun? That's a good one.

That's a good idea. Yeah. Icing gun. The icing is thicker than sour cream. But it's similar viscosity, I think. It is. Enough that you would work. I think you're on the right track.

You can get one for $27. Now, that's 30 tacos you'd have to. But I'll be honest with you, $27 as well as like, I wouldn't cheap out on it. I would try to look for it more. expensive one. You want this to last, you want this is something that you can hand down to your kids or whatever.

Buy it, buy it, buy it once. The guy goes, how long do you think it takes the package sour cream? You're being ridiculous. And he replies, ridiculous is bringing ingredients with you to a fast food restaurant.

Not totally ridiculous, but yeah, definitely out of the ordinary and definitely, I think, a little bit odd and maybe a little fun. money, a little quirky. And then he goes, I'll bring my own implies they have brought the sour cream with them from the house to a destination.

The table appearing to be a taco bell table gives the impression that they brought the sour cream to the taco bell. And then he gets a reply and the proper taco meat takes about 10, 20 minutes of prep and at least an hour to cook. That's an insane number. That's insane. I'm not sure how you're cooking your dog. So he's really letting that shit simmer or whatever. He's really doing a slow. I mean, listen.

That's artisan taco meat. And I think that that's honestly, like probably like people who make actual, they're probably like, oh, that's not even long enough. You know what I mean? Like a real like. I mean, like, ground beef you can't do in an hour. You can't do ground beef for an hour. There's no possible recipe in which you would brown ground beef for a really low, a really, really low amount to just like soak up the like taco seasoning or whatever. I don't know.

I just, I feel like that's, that's about four. 45 to 48 minutes longer than what I would be accustomed to. Well, this person goes, sour cream is extremely quick and easy to apply to a taco, especially if you bring a squeeze bottle. Agreed. So they're on there with us. Like, hey, maybe get yourself a better bottle.

Well, then the guy replies and goes, but then what do you do with the rest of the bottle of sour cream? If you're out and about it, you're not going to have refrigeration. So you would essentially be sacrificing an entire bottle of sour cream to save the dollar of having Taco Bell at it. Sounds like you need to get yourself. Sounds like you need to get yourself a cooler, a small cooler. What are we talking?

That's not that expensive. Get yourself a small cooler. Or like a, you could drive, have like a cooler in the back of your thing or whatever. You can keep just your condiments in there, like all of them. Yeah, you could have other ones too because presumably he might go to different establishments where they don't have enough of what he's looking for. They don't charge for ketchup anywhere. No, you're right.

Ketchup is pretty you're right. Ketchup they'll fucking give you ketchup. They don't get shit about ketchup. Why doesn't he just go get ketchup to add to the burrito? He does because yeah, you're right. Ketchup's in the packets like you can grab handfuls of it and like nobody gives the fuck they don't care. Sour cream people really I mean care about a lot of a restaurant.

95 cents on a $2. Boreto is like kind of that's a lot. Sauer. Yeah. It's a 50. That's a third. I mean, sour, sour cream is. a hot commodity guacamole is the only one i can think of that's going to go to fit you a higher

you know on the market is going to fit you a higher fucking yield is going to be i mean like uh sometimes i think guacamole you can be two dollars or some shit to add yeah so the canteen of chicken burrito seven dollars and forty four cents oh a taco bell and actually it's six 44 and then i added sour cream it made it seven dollars this guy goes you think you're hacking the sister but it just looks ridiculous. I brought hot sauce because I happened to have it in a car, but bringing your own sour cream is crazy. At least bring it home and add it.

The hot sauce thing is on the same level, my man, I'm sorry. You're the same exact thing. You did the same exact thing as him. You can't say I just happened to have some hot sauce on me. Why? Why did you happen to have it on you?

No, people carry hot sauce around. People carry like a little thing of Tabasco or something like the little bottle. There's hot sauce people. I mean, Hillary Clinton, those are hot sauce guys. Probably don't have any Scovilles. We did an episode on hot sauce guys, so we know about them and how crazy they can be about it and how they bring their own sauces. But to normal people, that appears the same as the person doing this hour cream, I would say. I agree.

Good point. And the guy goes, everything's cold and soggy by that time. So he just doesn't want a soggy burrito. He wants to get the burrito as hot as possible, which by the way, this is just not a taco bell is lukewarm. I've never had hot food in Taco Bev. Honestly, I've never had hot fast food in my life. They don't want it to be hot, right? It's because everybody's so drunk up or whatever all fucked up and they're just

scar or they just want to scarf it. So I think maybe if they made it too hot, then people would be pissed because they'd be like, I got to wait to eat the fucking burrito, you know? You'd have like another hot coffee lawsuit or something. Yeah, you'd have too hot. But I'm saying like you will never in your life ever. I'm 45 years old.

I've never had hot. never gotten food at a fast food place. I'm like, wow, that's too hot. It's never happened. Sometimes the fries are a little bit if they're right out of the oil. Popeyes, Popeyes, Popeye's chicken. I oftentimes a chicken sandwich at Popeye's chicken is like too hot to eat. They're just not doing it right then.

Up in Canada. They're just not doing it right. Here's a question. I got it in America. I got it at that one in Hollywood as well on Hollywood Boulevard. look like a fool. That was the one that I've talked about it on the podcast, but I went with Dan O'Sullivan.

Past guest, Dan O'Sullivan, him and I went and got the famous. He didn't want to hang out with me. Spicy chicken sandwich. He said, fuck you the last time I was in L.A. Oh, he didn't want to hang out with you. And he called me Smelly. He,

he was, yeah, he was excited to hang out. Yeah, I hang out with a lot of people. I know he didn't want anything to do with me. Okay, so this person asked a good question.

Anybody else looking really old after eating Taco Belt? often. I keep eating Taco Bell because I was driving a lot and getting hungry. There was that online exclusive $8 for a cassidia. I added chicken, burrito, potatoes, and a drink. I guess I find Taco Bell soothing. It does taste yummy. It has something in it that makes a person crave it and want it again.

But after eating it a lot recently, I look 20 years older. My face is puffy and I look like a cow. I feel like I was making so much progress and losing weight before I ate it almost every day for two weeks. I thought it was a small snack. I feel so embarrassed by how I look. I'm trying to eat pineapple and oatmeal and drink lots of water and sleep a lot and hope my face returns back to normal. It will. I mean, if it's only two weeks, if they're saying it was just eating it straight for two weeks, I feel like your face will return it normal. Even if it was for a long time if you eat healthy and stuff like that, that is this. That's kind of sad. Pynapple and oatmeal. That's the secret.

I mean, that sounds, that's pretty, that's, you know, that's a decent little thing in the morning or whatever. I feel like taco eating fast food regularly. I don't know over that period of time, but I think it'll probably make you look, it'll age you possibly, you know, certainly make you look a little unhealthy if you're always eating it. Here's a cool answer. He goes, it's the cheese that makes a person crave it. Cheese can be mildly addictive. That sounds like something, a stupid guy was told by another stupid guy. I'm sorry. It's like, you ever notice how all? often you eat cheese it's like yeah think about it think about it what do you when they ask it the they say you want cheese on your burger what do you think what do you always say yes don't you why is that

why is that a majority of taco bell food has cheese integrated or comes with the nacho cheese sauce yeah we've integrated cheese into these uh all right let's take a look at quora real quick. This person says, I was in line for Taco Bell when this woman cut in front of me. Should I have said something? Okay. So this is less about Taco Bell, just kind of about politeness. But I think, yes, if someone cuts in line, you should say, excuse me, you know, there's a line up here. That's actually, guys, I'm afraid that's not the answer. No way. I would call them out and say, hey, the line ends back there okay no cutting if they want to be rude about i raise my voice just a tad and say cut or get out of the line you're cutting in someone else's place i'd make them embarrassed hey y'all i know that the line ends

up back there right and that that i'm in this line too you mind getting to the back of the line like everyone else it depends on the person to how you respond to their actions but calling them out for cutting a line is the best thing to do it shames them it brings attention to the fact that they're cutting a line and if they don't get back in line where they're supposed to Most cash register people will tell them they have to get back in line. It's not their turn. Yeah, I don't like cutters. And I will call them out every time.

Okay, bye, bye, bye, bye. Okay, bye, bye, okay, bye. Okay, bye, ending your pose with okay, bye, bye, okay, bye. I think that I agree that you should just kind of say, maybe make less of a spectacle, I think. Like, I would say to someone like, hey, there's, I think I've experienced this before, you know, where someone's cut in line before. and I'm like, hey, are you, there's a line, you know, or, do you know, there's a line? Like, the, you got to, we're lining up here. But I think I've definitely had it where the person was just like, either ignored me or just

like, was like, yeah, what, or something like that? And I was like, all right, I'm going to end it there, you know. I don't really want to have a confrontation with this old lady or whatever. Like, it's not a big deal. Just let her go in front. I don't think stomping and blowing a whistle and being like, cutter, cut her, cut her. We've got a cutter in the line. I don't know about that.

I would just assume anyone inside a Taco Bell could kick my ass. I would never say anything. True. I always assume that everywhere. Well, not I wish I had there was a time of my life where nobody could kick my ass. Really? Oh, when you had a bunch of bigger, tougher guys around you. Yeah.

Yeah. Those were the days. Why do they advertise it as the Y2K menu and use a song from 2001 into commercial when the food came out over a decade after that? And he posts the AI overview. Taco Bell released the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Tacos in 2013 with the nationwide debut occurring on March 7th, 2013. The new flavor was introduced the year after the successful launch of the original Doritos Locos Taco. And he goes, it's awful marketing in my opinion. It just annoys me every time I see this.

commercial do they think people don't remember when both came out they weren't even remotely close to the same time period in anything in the social world fashion was different music was different when i hear some 41 and think of a time period cool ranch tacos weren't even an idea yet oh man who fucking cares i don't say that often because i know you could say it to a lot of the posts that we read or whatever you know so i try to avoid saying it but like truly who fucking cares man like you're talking about an ad here or whatever and whether he's mad they're mixing up the i do miss old some 41 some 41 remember they're in the they're in the pool they're playing their music in the pool i just thought of um a pretty funny scene to me and that was like a bunch of

fucking guys who quibber had instigated fights with catching him slipping without his boys and they wouldn't do it anyway just catching him out at the mall or whatever and being like cornering them and being like you don't got porno shan here do you like that that would be a great i mean porn o's sean would have taken care of it later you know i mean it would it never happen but anyway this guy so what he's saying is they they released a y2k menu recently they brought back some stuff around 2000 now not they and doritos locoes tacos the cool ranch version was a part of that but that came out in 2013 yeah and also the song by some 41 that came out in 2001 that's not even a Y2K

oh he's kind of mad about this it's so weird to see P it's like they're the Taco Bell equivalent of Disney adults like yeah identify so much with this like for profit fucking company but it's something about at least like yeah Disney you can kind of like understand it it's it's it's scary and weird because it's like you know but it's like their childhood they're desperately clinging totally to this time from their childhood. But I guess maybe it's the same with Tacoville. Maybe you went when you were a kid so often with your family or whatever.

And now it's like a big part of your life. But like, yeah, it does feel weird to get invested in any way with the advertisements and like just the like the product launches and things like that. Like it's weird to interact with the fast food place in any way other than going there and making your order. And bringing a bag of sour cream. If you need to. Yeah. So this guy goes, because it was a really popular song from the 2000s and the OP responds. And that's a real popular taco from the 2010s.

Again, they're over a decade apart, not related by any means. And he goes, uh, I honestly didn't think the cool ranch shells were that old. But, but at my age, everything, it feels like it happened a year ago was actually 20 years ago. So I just assumed it was my brain. Maybe that's what the director's kind of the point he's trying to make through that, you know, that it's like, we don't even remember when stuff happened anymore. This guy goes, I support petty beefs, have my

up vote, and he gets the reply from the OT, thank you kindly. Then this guy goes, get a life, bro. Yeah, that's me. Well, unfortunately, he searched the guy and he goes, says the Gen Z self-diagnosed autistic soccer and Taco Bell obsessed

superhero fan. Got it. Oh, damn. Went through the post history. The guy just replies, actually it's called the football this guy goes it's called the decades menu something from each decade connect the dots and then

get to reply and maybe from the decades menu but it's being promoted in the Y2K me a Y2K was 2000 not 2013 OPE is correct about it being an annoying form of advertising yep yeah no it's no place in the Y2K menu

yeah so all right So we all go our separate ways now? Actually, no. Okay. This guy says in the grand scheme of things, who cares? Yeah, no, that's, yeah. Well, okay. Why are you taking his side?

Have you heard this person? Not yet. And that's why they did it. Because if anyone were to give a fuck, who cares? It's just a Taco Bell commercial. Eat it, LMFAO. Let's all just be stupid just because. So I didn't quite under, I didn't quite follow that.

That's why they did it. They did it because who would fucking care? You know what I mean? They did it because they're just like That's why because we let them get away with that type of thing Because they're like yeah we're not no one's gonna hold our feet to the fire on this So why don't we just fucking go like they're sitting there in a marketing meeting They're like God, but that's from 2013.

They're like nobody's gonna fucking care These fucking idiots don't know what the fuck to do You know so if we start fucking you know boycott again I don't like to use the word boycott you know me I hate that cancel culture stuff But I think we need to boycott to talk about Well, the guy goes, I mean, that's what they do. They put out limited time offers every month.

And all the Taco Bell fans rush to Taco Bell to try them, including myself. It's not a matter of being stupid. It's more just like, who cares? Like, why is this taking up so much space in OP's mind that he has to come on Reddit to rant about it? It's so true. Like, the biggest enemy is complacency. And if you let your guard down in politics and fast food, all of a sudden they're sneaking shit from 2013. into the fucking Y2K menu.

Oh, forget about it, Brian. What about they start slipping stuff from 2020 into that menu? Stuff from 1973 into the menu. I mean, they don't even get, nobody's going to fucking do shit about it. They know that now. The fucking groundwork has been laid, and you're going to see shit from all kinds of years in that menu. This is why you got a boycott.

You got to send death threats to people. You have to pull all your levels. Well, Brian knows all about that. Brian knows all about that. edited out of the episode. Yeah, I'm going to... No, he made some pretty seriously damning comments that had to get cut out of it. This guy goes, it's not to try.

It's a nostalgia pool to get it again. It's a matter of being stupid. If you're willing to accept things that are blatantly wrong because they're unimportant, without being able to acknowledge flaws or misinformation, such as a large corporation listing a product as being from a decade, it wasn't. That's your prerogative. I don't like to take things that. face value simply because it doesn't impact my life.

I don't like it. Taco Bell said the majority of their customers won't give a fuck and they're right. It bothered me the second I saw it because this is the point. At it like the Leo thing like that meme like it's like what they're that I really feel this type of person is really like because they are they have just come on to here to have an argument. that's all that they're looking to do. They're getting like every little bit of minutia. They're getting like that's all they want to do is argue. And it is this person is just insufferable.

They might be a little neurodivergent too. And it's just sticking in their craw. And they can't let it go. Taco Bell said the majority of their customers won't give a fuck. And they're right. It bothered me the second I saw it because I remember being a freshman in high school when those came out. But I don't create posts often. That's why I'm still going back and forth.

you in the comments. And he replies and goes, it's a taco, bro. It's not that deep. And then goes, choosing to be stunted because it's easier for you as a poor choice. But it's yours to make. I never said it was deep. I said it's misinformation and annoying advertising because of that. Trying to diminish the subject to make yourself feel better when I never made it out to be important in the first place is also incredibly stupid.

I mean, the guy's right. It's not that deep. But he's also writing it's not. that deep in the Taco Bell Forum on Reddit. So it's like he came to their layer to like, you know, kind of port-up water on it. He's

got to understand that if you're in that subreddit, you are going to encounter people who think it is that deep. It's important. It's like the most, you're a Taco Bell guy. Yes. You know what I mean? But I think this is one of those situations and we encounter it where

even amongst the other guys, they're all kind of like, right, calm down. man you're making us look fucking insane man we're not like this are we like well listen to this post if you see something that you know is wrong and don't think it's a problem that's

choosing to be stunted I haven't considered it at all past my initial reaction to this post but that doesn't make what I've stated any less true it's not cynical it's literally right in front of us currently LMAO it slapped on YouTube ads Taco Bell windows mail coupons

if you want to say I'm on a soapbox for noticing it and agreeing with this poster pointing it out, that's a typical stance to take when you have nothing left to actually say about the subject. It's incredible how you aren't even defending them and have no actual take on this other than you're unbothered. You're just going at me because you're bored and need to teach me a lesson or something. Dude, no, it's not okay that a huge company is lumping things together and falsely advertising things. And no, at this scale, it's not important at all. I have no idea why the fuck you need things reiterated. is the end of the argument.

Well, yeah, that's an argument ender right there, because that's, I think, when you're like, when you're sort of talking to this person, you're like, okay, this person is getting angry now? I feel like this person, if they have tech, you know, if they have a lot of savvy and tech, could they find my IP address? Is this person going to be able to, you know, hassle me?

And then you just kind of move on. Or maybe somebody in your life, like your partner, it just says, like, okay, that message means we're going to walk away from this. You're telling your partner about it. Yeah, you're telling your partner. This guy thinks it's not important. She's reading over the, no, no, this, the other guy is as the partner.

This, the person who's saying it's important, I believe is sitting alone in the room, typing this out. And the other person has the partner who's saying, honey, this last message is too far. We got to get out of here. She's like, it is time for dinner with your family right now. Why are you still arguing on the top? I get it. It's not important. Yes.

If it's not important. then you need to come have your dinner with us right now. Have your Taco Bell. This guy goes to the table. He comes up to eat his dinner with his family and his Taco Bell, laid out on the table like that Trump photo, you know. He comes and eats Taco Bell. His whole family eats other stuff, like home cooked food.

Everybody's eating a real meal, like chicken and potatoes and vegetables and stuff. And he's eating taco. His white hat. He's got 30 soft tacos lined up in front of him. Honey, can you watch dinner while I go get your dinner at Taco Bell? No. I'm busy. One of you kids bring the sour cream over.

Yeah. Guys too busy arguing with somebody to watch the dinner for the rest of his family while his wife goes against his Taco Bell. I'm defending the integrity of the Y2K menu. Yes. Hey, you know, that that's an intense argument. one other before we get to reviews which are all so good um the the last one i wanted to bring up there's two things i want to bring up because any taco bell guy listen to this show will be mad if i don't bring this up one they do Tuesday drops okay like a like a streetware company yeah so every

Tuesday at a certain time, the menu will, it'll be like $1 taco box or something like that. Just like something like that. You've never seen more people mad that they don't win a drop. I mean, like I've seen like supreme drops and stuff like that where people are more laid back about how they're like, oh, so they give 30,000 of them out and they're gone in two minutes. What the fuck? And they were like so mad. But it's food. People have got to eat food.

So I think there is a little bit more of like where they're just like, oh, fuck, I want that shit so bad, you know. But it's food you can order any other day of the week at Taco Bell. But not at that price. Not at that price. No, you're right. It's a special price. And they are very price sensitive over there.

Yeah. So they're the most price sensitive because they're not spending. Listen, if your Taco Bell is coming to $27, that's problematic. That is also a choice. you're making. Yeah. Because you can eat at Taco Bell fruit. Victim blaming.

I am. Because they're adding stuff and taking stuff off and moving stuff around. I mean, you know that. You're a famous. Your finger smoothie is famous for being, what, $100? You had a smoothie that cost $100. $20. And that was a long time ago.

Still. That was a long time ago, like before a lot of the inflation that we've seen. So this was like $20, but this was a long time ago. In today's money, it's basically $67. No, it's not a $70. Is it $20? Every smoothie is $20. You can't get a smoothie for less than $20.

That's not true. Make it at home. That's not true. I've gotten this. I go to get a smoothie regularly actually and I got it. And it costs $8.95. You're fucking full of shit. No way.

No, I swear to God. I swear to God, Brian. I will send you. I will send you a thing on the show to win an argument. He's lying. I am not lying. I will prove it. I will post it on the Instagram.

Everybody send me a message on the Instagram when this episode comes out and say, hey, post the thing of the smoothie that you get. I put an ad on in there. It's free. It's an energy booster and it's free. They give it to me on the house. That's what I put an add on too. And a few other ones.

You put a couple of add-ons. I've seen your, I've seen it looks like a goddamn CVS receipt. You know, when you finish with your smoothie. I always had blueberries to everything, which isn't. is this like when republicans would go to the store go somewhere and then get a bunch of add-ons they'd be like thanks joe biden a hamburger's 30 dollars now that's chris is that chris is being like that smoothie is 20 dollars at smoothie king a smoothie's 20 dollars yeah we don't have smoothie at smoothie king we don't have 20 bucks there's no way to get around it and every time

you go to smoothie king you're like god damn that was 20 dollars but honestly a meal is 20 these days. I feel like fast food, it's almost like become like comic books. It feels like their industry is shrinking. Like not as many people are getting it. So they're just monetizing the shit out of the people who are still around. Yeah. And also it is like that is for Taco Bell just being like, hey, you can do anything you

want to this fucking thing. But everything costs some amount of money. Oh, you can have all the jalapinos you want for fucking 35 cents. You can have the sour cream if you want it. It's a dollar more. Like when you're paying a dollar more for it, that's like a decent amount. But again, you could still go to Taco Bell and order things as is and have a relatively cheap meal. You probably eat there for 15 bucks maybe.

You know what I mean? I'm interested to think how I think that there's that fast food is still super popular. I don't know. I wonder what the numbers are like. I wonder, but I guess there is all the, like, alternatives that are not, they are still kind of fast food, but healthier versions of fast food now. They have those. And I think those are probably more popular as well.

But I would be interested to see the numbers on like McDonald's. I would say maybe, yeah. I would say maybe more popular in that there are communities around them. There's Taco Bell guys. But that's like a Taco Bell. Saw bread. That's what stuff is like for everything now. But they're just like, hey, I like Costco.

And it's like, I'm going to fucking wear a Costco t-shirts. shirt like i you know what i mean i wear like you know it's like i i'm gonna like yeah like brands having clothes and stuff like that like that type of shit has become that way with everything i feel i almost bought some air for kirkland air force ones on stock x and i was like you know what hey no no disrespect to people wear a kirkland t-shirt i don't i know a lot of people do i don't i'm thinking of like an actual costco brand one or whatever i'm maybe even not even costco just other places you know where they're just like yeah get one of our t-shirts now and it's it's like a grocery store or whatever another thing that they're obsessed with is the volcano

menu uh which is a menu of very spicy stuff and guy goes seriously what's it going to take to get the volcano menu back oh it's it's gone it's extinct yeah they got rid of it it's limited time he goes it's crazy there's no reason not to have it people loved it and this guy replies and goes i'm right there with you if it ever comes back i'll eat it seven days a week until they take it away from me again seven day a week volcano menu Taco Bell sounds like something that your ass

would literally fistfight you to stop you from doing. I mean, that is that. That will definitely age you like that last poster. That will make you an old man immediately.

For sure. I mean, and he goes, the volcano taco is quite literally one of the greatest things I've ever eaten. And it's recently my favorite item Taco Bell has ever released. I wonder the Scoville's on it. I wonder like how hot we're talking.

Well, this guy goes too spicy for the average person. Taco Bell knows that. In order to make the most money, they must cast the widest net. Every large company and every industry is doing this. And we get stuck with uninspired slop. It won't stop till we stop giving them money. Boycott time. The Taco Bell guys are right.

They're on a hair trigger. I hate boycotts, but I got to agree with this guy. This might be time for a boycott. All right. Push too far. Yeah. No, honestly,

you can only push him in too far. And I've been anti-boycott my whole life, but I'm going to be boycotting that. Here's another one. Who banned the Taco Bell dog? We talked about him at the beginning. It was a smaller dog.

The company decided to get rid of him when they noticed it could possibly be seen as racist, influenced by radicals that also suddenly caused issues with products like Uncle Ben's rice and Anjamima syrup. So did it get caught up in that? or they just assuming? I don't think so. Because I never saw any, like,

I remember the articles, I remember the articles about the other stuff that he mentioned, but I don't remember the dog. The Taco Bell dog had been gone for a decade. Yeah,

that was just a thing whose time had run its course. Yeah, that's just a, Dell guy, yeah. Yeah, people move on, like they get new spokes, like there'll be a new spokesperson.

They get a new spokes dog. Yeah. Did I say smokes dog? Listen, you did. Wait, why did you say? that. Well, because somebody's going to say he said smokes dog. No, I mean, but why did you say smokes dog? I meant to say spokes dog. I see. You said they get a new spokesperson. I said they get a new

smokes dog. Yeah, I was really confused. I thought you were talking about some company called smokes or something because it didn't make sense to me. I'll be honest with you. I was like, what is this guy talking about? And I don't want to keep repeating smokes dog because I feel like when I keep repeating stuff like this, people end up posting all about it and stuff. So the taco bell smoking. Imagine a picture of a dog smoking. I would love that. The dog from Taco Bell smoking. The dog from Taco Bell smoking and it says smokes dog.

There you go, everyone. That's a guy's T-shirt coming soon. Smokes dog. Imagine we were that fucking. You know, we were just like, well, there's a thing we said one time. there's a shirt and we're just fucking churning this shit out this bullshit merch Devin went to the Taco Bell canteena

on the Ohio State University campus which is right down the street from me Taco Bell can'tina for those that don't know is a Taco Bell that serves booze So does it have a higher quote Because to me I would think it would be like a higher quote No the food is the exact same But booze

So is it like a nicer establishment A sit-down kind of establishment or no, same exact taco bell. People are drunk in it. Yeah, with a clervot side in a window. I guess people are drunk in regular Taco Bell as well. And I was just going to say you can drink in it, but I guess people are drinking in regular Taco Bell as well.

This is just an official way. I would say that I don't think that these Taco Bell canteenas lived up to the imagination of the person who thought of the idea because you never see people there just hanging out and drinking, which I believe. leave is what they thought like well you know people will come in here they'll get their food they'll have a couple beers they'll hang out or make money like a bar i think it's a novelty you go in there you order your food maybe get one beer drink a beer and then leave i don't think they ever sort of i realize why it doesn't work why because at like a restaurant or a bar or something like that you

want people to be kind of eating their food hanging around having a little bit more some nachos maybe like having a drink but when you're at taco pill you eat the food and like 45 minutes later, you get all rumbling in your in your tummy and you start feeling a little bit, you know, and then you want to leave probably. So it's honestly a hotly debated subjects, Chris. Whether or not it makes you your stomach. They said it's the rest of your diet that does that. No. It's not the Taco Bell. They said basically what they're saying is if Taco Bell does that to your stomach. The rest of your diet is a contributing

factor to Taco Bell doing that to your stomach and not Taco Bell causing the actual problem. That's Taco Bell Apology. I've eaten Taco Bell for two meals a day off of the volcano menu for six months now.

But there was that one day where I had that smoothie, you know? And I think that's kind of like you upset an ecosystem. or whatever. I do, I mean, I guess you want to justify it. I think most people though, right? I mean, you're talking about some posts that you saw, Brian, but I think most people, several posts. Most people, though, sort of understand Taco Bell is bad. It still has that kind of reputation of being like, hey, this is nasty food that you eat when you're drunk and it makes you feel sick, but whatever,

it tastes really good and it's cheap. I still think it has that reputation. They're turning that around. I firmly believe they're actually kind of turning that around because you do see a lot of people saying like, oh, Taco Bell's good for like vegans and vegetarians. Oh, you know, and all this. The bean and cheese burrito or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, cheese for vegan isn't. But for vegetarian. They're like, you can make almost anything vegetarian there. And that's like a positive. Mexican, Mexican food is really good for vegetarian because so much of it's like bean and cheese based and it's very, very good. So I agree. But I, yeah, I don't know. I just, yeah, I just, I guess. I guess, I guess. I as maybe there are some Taco Bell

vegans. I don't know though. It just seems to me like it My wife is a Taco Bell vegetarian. A Taco Bell vegetarian? It does not. Yeah. That that just seems like an odd thing to be. I don't know. So this person went to the Taco Bell canteen on Ohio

State campus and gave it one star and said literally the worst Taco Bell. Took an hour to get our food. Literally a dude throwing up in the restaurant. Missing half of our food. spent $40 on tacos insane. That's why that's why drinking doesn't work in a taco bell. Because you associate alcohol, I feel like at least in the beginning with like fun time.

Like you're at a bar, you're hanging with your friends. You're having to get nobody wants to linger at a taco bar and like. Also, no. Nobody wants again, the line literally a dude throwing up in the restaurant. Right. Like that had. you don't want that going on in your restaurant. Not even the most hardcore alcoholic is going to be like one more,

one more, death cookies before I go. Yeah. This guy goes, I've been to many, many Taco Bells throughout my life, 20 plus years. Wow.

And to this one, after renovation, five times. The first two times were great. Great customer service, great Taco Bell quality and quantity, food and great atmosphere. These past three times,

though, I've been a whole different story. Like I said, I have been to many different stores. Okay, Braddon, I mean, Taco Bell expert. Yeah, I've been to the Taco Bells in Monte Carlo. I've been to the Taco Bells in Paris. I've been to the Taco Bells

in Vienna. Yeah, this guy is saying that he is smoking a cigarette. This guy, he, yeah, it really feels, it's saying that he he had a great atmosphere the first couple of times like that's so cool to me that he's just like he's in a taco bell like eating his shit like looking around being like now this is the

fucking vibe right here you know that's bad sweet to me but like yeah I wonder what happened I wonder what happened to this one has been giving by far the smallest and least filled tacos and burritos I've attached a couple pictures as an example I don't have the pictures Chris so don't know I get that these one dollar burritos. I requested extra cheese even in one. But for this location to give the smallest amount of every store, especially after setting the bar with normal portions the first couple times, it's crazy. If I pay $6 for $4.0050 burritos, I expect my money is worth. And that's not giving me that. Absolutely will not be back. So they set the bar too high on his first two visits. And it seems like they knew that they were going to do that. Because they're like, hey, this guy,

we've noticed we got a new guy coming in here let's give them a lot let's give them a big portion oh yeah like oh we got hey fresh meat alert ringing the bell ding ding ding ding ding ding ding they swingers bars sometimes um yeah just a little bit of fresh meat and then they like yeah they get them all fattened up and then he's hooked on it and it works on a lot of them because they get hooked but this guy he it didn't work on him he's he's done now I believe all Also that he's like telling his friends, this fucking Taco Bell canteen is the best one in town. It really is. He's embarrassed himself now.

He's embarrassed himself. Oh, my God. In his circles and stuff. Like, yeah. Yeah, he's going there and he's just like, okay, so what do I tell him now? Do I tell him like, should I message them? Should I tell them that it's like that I gave him bad intel or do I just walk away from this? Do I have a reputation is extinct?

Yeah. My reputation is in serious trouble here. Like he's, oh, that would be horrified. I'm the guy that's been to all the Taco Bells and everybody knows I'm the guy that's been to several Taco Bells over the year and I told him this is the best one. I'm always, of course, I'm always wearing a different Taco Bell city t-shirt, like Hard Rock Cafe. He's got one from like 1992 that says pride and joy. Taco Bell Cantina on the Las Vegas strip.

Oh, okay. This one goes crazy. This guy goes one star. I love this. First of all, one star starts out. I love this location. It's great.

It's fast. And it's Taco Bell. I've been coming here for years. But lately, the employees scream in the PA when calling your name. I don't mean it's a bit loud. I mean, you'll get hearing loss unless you're wearing noise canceling headphones.

This guy had to had to buy ear plugs to go get his Taco Bell. order. He says put on noise canceling earphones and then it sounds like a normal volume. It sounds like he's going to Taco Bell like he's going to a Slayer concert. Yeah, he he's like, maybe maybe it's like maybe you're too close to the amps man. Maybe get a spot like deep like back in the pit somewhere. I I feel like they have to it's probably so loud in there right. Like people are probably so like drunk and unruly that they're just like when they don't yell. like that nobody comes and gets their order so they're having to kind of do it he goes every fast food places like that like there's always like a fight in the back going on some customers mad something

else like the drive-thrues like that's just a normal hustle and bustle not really in chaotic place to be and if you're at a high volume one yeah oh forget about it because they're fucked i'll tell you this they fucked up they opened one in minnesota that has four drive-thrus and when they opened it, they said, this is the fastest drive-through in the world. And it's just like, don't do that because the people that are coming here are going to expect it to be very fast. And if it's one minute, they'll go to what is. If it's the same as that, this is the same as the other one I go to. They should just not do that, not say that.

But he goes, I don't know why they feel the need to do that, but it absolutely kills the vibe. And it's painful. Please fix this. This guy is. It's painful. It hurts his ears. It hurts my little ears. This is five stars.

Please don't do baby. It hurts my little ears. I hate your baby boy. My ears hurt. Daddy, my ears hurt. Stop. Stop. Mommy.

Let me see them tities. What the fuck? I don't know why. I said that was weird. Because I'm hungry. You will say anything for a laugh. What are you, Tony Inchcliffe? Yes, I am Tony Hingler.

This person gave it five stars. Five stars, eh? All right. I wish they had the same menu in Canada as they do in the U.S. I hate that they still have nacho Belgrondees in the U.S. And they have nacho fries and breakfast, which we don't have. I don't understand why. I don't understand why we in Canada are being cheated.

it with a subpar watered down menu wait wait wait wait this one's in Vancouver this one no is in Las Vegas oh oh but this person's from Canada I got they're from Canada and they're really mad about the menu this this just showed them how bad you're talking about I see sometimes that does happen right you go to America and you're like oh fuck they got all of these different you know they got like 900 different varieties of this shit like you know you can get like wow oh holy shit man your shit's like so much bigger here like you got yeah they definitely it's all food related anything i've ever been there has always been food related where i'm like holy shit there's like a lot of different kinds of food yeah they good you just think of all the pop we have here it's crazy i love

i'm like what is this it's like half an aisle no you got three aisles up you guys have an insane amount of pop an insane amount of candy and insane amount of chips you guys really got it all in that way And I do love America, by the way. I do want to clarify it. I'm a big fan of America. I miss America. Howard Stern. I don't understand why we in Canada are being cheated with a subpar watered down menu.

What's up with that? I enjoyed the wild cherry and blue raspberry freezy drinks, the street tacos, which again, we don't have in Canada, sadly. Hopefully one day we can have the same menu and I can enjoy my nacho fries and the Belgronde, which they got rid of years ago and downsized it to a quarter of the size. and yeah so that person was not happy here's a one star for the Vegas one great food extremely predatory prices hidden fees for unmarked selections i.e quote premium tequila adds an unseen charge of $10 that creates a discrepancy with what the screen always displays I wouldn't mind paying $10 more if it

was labeled the cheaper option is available but there's no difference between the price selections. Receit was not sent to my phone. And of course, no printable receipts are available. Again, an extremely unfortunate experience that should be addressed to avoid customer concern. In short, the kiosks don't tell you about hidden charges and the receipts are never sent to your provided number. Extremely predatory and not receiving my receipt almost feels like a scam. I've never heard a guy so obsessed with his receipt. In short, I have been I have been scammed once again by the Taco Bell canteena and it's the last time. Listen,

it does, it does feel like that's bullshit. If he, if it's, what he's saying is true, which I, again, you gotta be,

you gotta take it with a grain of salt. Some of these guys are, they're not telling you the whole story or they're like telling you a different version of events. But yeah, if he, it didn't tell him that it was $10 more and the price said one thing and then he got charged a different amount.

That seems unfair. It's premium. of tequila though. Yeah, he would... It should tell you that. I agree with him. I agree. It probably did.

He just didn't see it. That's my thought. Yeah. Fully told. And he goes, it may potentially need to be looked into as a receipt provides me with the details of my order to address concerns with Taco Bell corporate. Okay. So he's explaining now the importance of a receipt.

He's going. So the reason why you need a receipt at the end of a purchase is it gives you verification of that purchase that you could then provide some of a future date. I'm going to drive to Taco Bell headquarters. have a meeting about my purchase. And if I show up without a receipt, they're going to think I'm lying. Yeah, they're going to, if I show up without my receipt, they're going to think I'm some crazy guy.

As opposed to just a completely normal guy with a receipt who would drive to Taco Bell headquarters to dispute this. Let's go to Austin, Texas, Taco Bell, on Ortloft, Old Torf Street. Is that where you are, right? I am, Old Torf. Wait a second. You are in Austin, Texas. Texas? I am. Yeah. Brian, why did you know, you knew not to tell me this, Brian

Quinby, because I am obsessed with Austin. And when was the last time you went to watch a show at the mothership? I have never, I've never been to the mother's show. Every person I talk to who lives there or has been there, I'm always like, when you've got in the mothership, nobody's gone to any of the shows. And yeah, sometimes you'll see Joe Rogan will just stop in and do a spot. William Montgomery sometimes is there. Sometimes William, William, Montgomery will scream at some lady in the audience for 40 to 50 minutes. That's your thing. I have done many stand-up sets with sort of the 25-year-olds from Iowa who have moved here

to live out of their car to hopefully work the door at the mothership. Like a lot of those people. Yeah. And like a ton of young like camera ready white people who moved here with like a trans joke and a dream. Yeah. So I know a lot of those people, but yeah, I've never been, because it's like we've been colonized by this bullshit.

Yeah, no, I understand. If you're, you're like an original Austin comic, like a real Austin comic and your whole scene has been ruined. Yeah, since like 2008. And it's always been kind of like, oh, it's like the brainy scene. Like we don't really do race jokes or, you know, we try to keep it like, and now we have a bowling ball, a simple little bowling ball man showed up into town and changed things. Tragically, he said, guess what?

I came in and I knocked down all. all the pins and now we do it my way. I, have you considered, now this is, have you considered dropping your name in the bucket? The bucket of destiny or what? Yeah,

no. On, on, on Kiltony. Listen, I, Brian, I'm not even joking.

After this, I can talk to you about this forever and ever, so I won't do it on this podcast. But the idea of an actual, I forgot that you're a real Austin standup. I would love to actually talk to. Totally. Yeah.

It's like, okay, Brian, sorry. I apologize. I got really excited. Chris wants to go into the bucket more than anything. I want to go on kill Tony. I want to go on kill Tony and drop my name in the bucket and get up there.

You know, I want to get up there before William Montgomery. And I want to get up there. Cam, well, Cam Patterson, he's on SNL now. I just don't want to get road. I just refuse to,

yeah, because I've been, it's not like I'm some great comment. It's not like I'm some, but like I've been doing it for a long time. And like, I just don't want to go up there and to have to get roasted. by guys who are shittier at this than I am.

Yeah. Like I just refuse. Like I refuse. If I go, if I get a call and kill Tony and I do my set and if they say anything to me, Tony or any of them, I don't give a fuck who is on the panel. I will jump the table and beat the shit out of them. I will beat the living shit out Tony. He says one fucking word to me.

His bodyguards I found out. Not on stage. Of course he does. Not on stage. He doesn't. Somebody caught a picture of them walking across the street in Austin with two bodies. yards. Yeah, I know. That's really funny. He was, I walked the street in Austin and didn't have any problem when I was there.

There's a few of those, like, there's a few of those like bad boycott or who have like, fuck it. Yeah, bodyguards at like their set at shots. In Tony, in Tony's defense, I, he's extremely small and weak, like little man. You know, he's like very tiny. Like he's, you know, a little kind of guy. There's a three-star review of the Austin one. First time ever at a Taco Bell. I had the chance to taste so many options of Taco. All of them were actually pretty good.

This is the saddest review for a person in Austin, Texas. A bit of a tasting. His friends took him to a Taco Bell tasting. In Austin, there's, the Mexican food in Austin is so fucking good. There's so many, you could go to any street corner downtown or any, like, and look for a truck with some plastic chairs out. outside, get you a ton. That will be wait for five bucks. And that'll be way better than anything.

So anybody we talked about it right at the beginning of the episode. So yeah, anybody who is doing going to this Taco Bell is a real buffoon. Well, yes. And he goes, I didn't remember the actual names of any of the items. But my favorite one was the one with a soft flower taco with black beans on the inside. That's a soft taco. Service was just okay. Nothing good or bad to say about that.

place though was a little sloppy. I have to say I didn't feel very safe inside, even if there's basically nobody but us. That's a weird feeling. Anyways, it was very cheap. So I think it's an okay place for a quick lunch or a junk break. We had like 10 tacos for about $40. Now, the line I didn't feel safe in there, even though there was nobody else in there was very appealing to me. It's just so haunting.

It's like, it's really haunting vibe. And there you just felt like, I know it like, like, We were alone, but it like didn't feel like we were alone in this weird way. It's just like all the ghosts of the people that that Taco Bell is killed. All sitting in there. This one's really good. This is a four star review, which I don't know why they gave four star because they are not happy. And it's a psycho review.

I believe this is a crazy person. Okay. In October, I came in, tied my leashed dog under the table and bought him a beam burrito. I slid it to him in a polo. I slid it to him in a plastic tray, assuming trays are washed after use. Two employees start yelling like it was an emergency. Your dog is eating off of our trays and threatened to call the police instead of de-escalating. They tried to force me out mid-meal.

I called their bluff. Finish eating. Called their buck. Oh. People trying to force you out of their business is not a bluff. That's not what calling. Let's get out or we'll have you arrest. It's not how like calling a bluff means, actually.

A bluff would be if they asked you to leave and then, you know, but maybe that's what they meant. They didn't try for it. Maybe they tried forcing you out by saying you've got to get out. And I called their bluff. I called that since then I filed multiple complaints. Multiple. Everyone has been routed to corporate rep Laura, who opens by defending the staff. Quote, I know all these people and they're good.

Instead of addressing the harassment, Laura's role has been to shield repeat offender. from accountability, ensuring the same hostile behavior continues. Well, if it makes you feel any better, Laura talks about you to her family, I bet. Laura probably brings you up in many conversations. You become a big part of her life probably out of that to this person who just will not let go this. So I wonder how it actually went, right? Like, they're probably, the dog wasn't allowed in there, probably.

I mean, you could bring a dog in as like emotional. Like, we do have that up here. And that like people are generally, I don't know, generally more open with letting dogs in places than they've ever been. There's something more to the story. He was doing something else to get kicked out. There's something more. I totally agree because, yeah, I think Brian the same thing that nowadays people are all have, I notice dogs in business all the time. Like regularly and nobody bothered.

Nobody has a problem with it. even like I could bring Milo's a big dog and I could bring him into like a business and pick up my food and stuff and they don't even mind it. People love dogs. People people. People are always happy everywhere to see a dog. It's like I want from cheers. Something else happened here where there was like a disturbance being caused. If they're trying to force you out mid meal, they're doing it because something is happening that they feel is like imminently a threat or a like going to cause a problem.

So something was happening. The dog was like lunging at a top. The dog was like being aggressive or something maybe or just like kind of out of control or who knows. Also as a guy, a non-pet guy, like any time I go somewhere and a dog starts barking at me, I'm like fucking dogs. And then also, I don't think it's, listen, don't lick the fuck it. Don't have your dog lick the trays. No, I agree. I agree with that.

That's a little bit fucking weird. Bring your own dish. Bring your own dish for your dog if you do want to feed. that would have solved that to bring your own dish bring you know bring them a little extra sour cream perhaps as well if you like that in his burrito i if the dog's barking that's enough to like a dog dog barking inside is extremely loud and disruptive yeah this location i love the i i still love the i called their bluff because like in reality it's like sir you need to leave now you need to and he's acting like they're pretending they have a full house

Is this a man? Is it a man? Is there any? Oh, true. Yeah. Is it, Brian, I'm actually asking. I'm not like. There's more. Brian, is there any indication of the, of if it's a man or a woman or no? I don't know. Their name is Lotus Street Poet.

Lotus Street Poet. I'm trying to like just picture the person for my own purposes. But yeah, I guess it doesn't matter. But yeah, this is just. So you can jack off to it later. For the spank bank. I'm just trying to picture this person from this Taco Bell complaint for my Spank ban. He goes, this location has a long history of rude service, constant turnover and management

circle in the wagons instead of fixing. It's a fast food place. They all have constant turnover. It's part of the business. The industry. Two weeks you're a manager. Yeah. It's like a lot of the people who work there are students.

and often they grow up in that, you know, like there's just a lot of reason for there to be a lot of turnover. Yeah, they'll pay enough where it's like. The instant a non-minimum wage job comes along, they take it. Yeah, they can get it. Yeah, it's it's a turnover industry. So using that as like a black mark against them is not really fair. I want to, he goes, the management circling the wagons instead of fixing problems. Customers deserve better than corporate damage control.

So that is that one. And finally, let's just Circling the wagons in that instance, by the way, meant not like saying, I'm so sorry, I'll give you like a free like, you know, whatever.

There's two free coupons. Yeah, that's what it. Okay, this is from Vancouver, British Columbia, Granville Street. 964,

Granville Street. So this is right downtown. I've been there. This is a hard of downtown, but Grahamville. Yeah, this is like the entertainment district right in the heart of downtown.

So it's like where all the night clubs are and stuff on a Saturday night. This guy asks a cool question. You want a burrito or do you want hair? Your choice. Burrito. I don't know. I would love to have hair. Oh,

it's been so long since I was thinking to eat though. I know. He goes, was excited to see Taco Bell in downtown, but never again. Dirty, filthy hair with your food. Take your pick. Seems like no one cares.

How is this place not shut down already? And finally, a five-star review. maybe this is one of my favorite reviews ever. On July 21st, 2025, at approximately 3 p.m., the employee, Gautom, that's the name, wearing blue earrings served with grace and honor to the Taco Bell Corporation, Canada. Although we were quite disheveled as we walked into the store, he served us with a warm welcome and a huge bright smile, which made our first experience at this establishment very delightful. He helped with ordering and gave me recommendations on what to get and served me the most fire food I ever had. The Baja Blast really did make me go ha ha ha, ha.

The blast out of and blast out of this world. The taste was exquisite and really brought. Well, the taste was exquisite and really brought out the flavors of Mexico. I would. Is this person doing a bag? I don't know. I truly don't. They might be doing a bag.

bit, but what I feel like has happened is they went in and part of the story is genuine that this guy who worked there was very helpful and like really nice and did a great job and they wanted to write this review to be nice to him. And then they went a bit over to the top with it for a comedic effect or whatever. I don't think they did it for comedic. Maybe not for comedic effect. It doesn't feel like I looked at their name. The taste of Mexico, the taste of Mexico talking about taco balancing. and brings up the dates of Mexico. It does read a little comedic to me. It feels like he had AI write it and then punched it up a little bit.

Yeah. Well, this is a person. I looked at their other reviews. They only have 10 other reviews and all of them seem pretty serious. Like they were just like regular reviews. What other places do they review? I don't have it. I don't have it.

I love hearing Vancouver businesses. I know you do. I know you do. And he goes, uh, I would, I would totally come back every Gualtam shift. 10 out of 10, recommend. please take into consideration on promoting Gal Tom to manager as he makes all customers have the greatest Taco Bell experience of their lives. It's a friend of his.

I just thought of another option, not even friend of his. Galton read some fucking book about like getting ahead in the corporate world and like, you know, making big strides forward and then he thought of like this is very simple. But I think you might over-cooked it a little bit with the dates in Mexico. You mean opening, the opening sentence being on July 21st, 2025 at approximately 3 p.m. The employee, Gal Tom wearing blue earrings, served with grace and honor at the Taco Bell Corporation, Canada.

Served with grace and honor. He starts it off like he's writing Lawrence of Arabia. Yeah, like it's like a military. Yeah, like this person served with grace and honor. Like, yeah, this is, uh, that's my favorite review ever for some. Other than there's one review that's better that everybody will always love. The tattoo shop that bullied a guy. That's the one I thought of immediately too.

The guy who went into the tattoo shop and got bullied by all the tattoo guys. God, I love that review. All right. Well, that is Taco Bell guys. Brian, do you have anything you would like to plug? Not really. Fallamance Blue Sky. Nice.

Blue Sky. I haven't made it over there at Blue Sky. I'm still over on Twitter. still chopping it up over there. I'm, do you know, I don't really, I don't really post on it. Honestly, he does get a hold of guests for us over there. Sometimes that's why I keep my Twitter. I'll send messages on Twitter.

But yeah, I will say this. I mean, Brian, look for Brian possibly. I'm going to say this on my podcast that I do on my Patreon. Oh, yeah, I do it every once in a while. Brian does it almost every episode, the writer's room with me, DB, Jesse Ferrar and Stefan. and we try to do some comedy. And I basically, I struggle to keep, it's genuine.

I just start the mics and then I try to get to something. And then they just. I told Katie, I know we got to go. I told Katie about when you opened the show last week and you were like, well, it's been a while. And I immediately said stained. Yeah, he just said stained and just cut me out like right. So that's kind of the vibe of that. But I do have guests on to talk, you know, I have like relations.

I have like real guests on and stuff. And I would love to have you on to talk about the Austin comedy scene. So look for Brian on that. I would love to burn any possible bridges I have left in this town. Well, I promise you. I promise you. It's a Patreon podcast for one. And also I promise you we're going to be talking very specifically.

You know, we'll just talk about the influx of the new people. And yeah, people, I mean, mainly just some of my top favorite comics, i.e., you know. William Montgomery. Tony Hinchcliffe. Who's the guy thanking? You know what I'm talking about? Got me thanking. Got me thanking?

It's the elephant graveyard has covered him a bunch of times and he like stakes. Oh, I know what you're talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Got me thanking. Who's, I can't remember. Are you doing accent? Are you doing accent of the league? Uh, well, I mean, I guess you would say David Lucas.

Oh, David Lucas. he's the guy who famously has some jokes that a lot of people on Twitter have stolen from him retroactively. They've posted them up on Twitter somehow before he did them. And also, if you want to see a really good interview, go watch him when he's interviewed by that. What's that kid's name? Maton. Maton. Maton interviewing him when David Lucas's manager genuinely believed that they were getting $10,000 to come on the show.

And it's like all that's unraveling live on the show as his manager's like off camera talking about it's seemingly actually thinking they were getting $10,000. Yeah, David Luke is one of my favorites. Cerebral, the cerebral comic. Oh, he makes you think. He makes you think, hey, have I heard that on Twitter? All right. We'll see y'all next week. Goodbye.

Bye.
