Welcome to guys, a podcast about guys.
I am Brian.
I will be your snobby host today.
And I have with me, Chris, who is a man of the people, of course.
Yeah, yeah, we'll eat a frozen food.
We were just talking about it before we turn the old mics on.
Well, the mics were on, but before we started recording with them that I had a frozen pizza last night.
I had myself a frozen pizza.
It was, and I also mentioned what Brian laughed at me about is that I added my own little flare to it.
I put some special mozzarella, some pizza mozzarella on top, just so I felt like, yeah, I got
something to do with making this a little bit, you know?
It's beautiful.
And as our guest this week, we have Betsy Sodero.
Hi, Betsy.
Hello.
Thanks for having me.
I'm pumped.
I love frozen pizza.
Yeah.
I don't eat it anymore.
I did for a very long time.
No, I get it.
As Chris said, we get it.
We get it.
You're doing well.
You're doing well.
We get it.
Okay.
The way I do, it's cheaper.
It's cheaper to make your own pizza.
Is it really?
Is it cheaper?
Oh, let me tell you, the frozen pizza I get, I'll get them fucking three for $10.
So you're telling me it's cheaper.
But it is like, it costs like $1.25 to make a pizza.
Remember Totinos where you could get like $10 for $10?
Yeah, that's a lot of college.
That was that and like baby carrots.
And I was like, I'm doing pretty good.
Oh, that's, I got to give you credit for, I got.
got to give you credit for throwing a little bit of health food in there with the baby
carrots you know had to get some veggies in the little cubes of pepper were not enough for me like as a
at that age I think I would have counted the tomato sauce I would have been calling the tomato
sauce we did Totino's party pizza me and my wife did that for a very long I mean we used to be
uh two people that had real jobs number one now we're two people that don't have a job uh but we
used to be two people that had real jobs and we didn't have time. So yeah, we would, I didn't have
time to let pizza proof and stuff like that. I have that time now. No, you're saying that. You're so
fancy. We get it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Pisa proof. Yeah. Totally. I picked up on that right away. What is
pizza. Next. He's going to be telling us what, what's the thing we learned about on the bonus episode,
Brian? About the, I don't know. Remember the pizza guy was complaining about it that the,
the essence? The essence. The essence. The essence. And then something. I don't know. I don't know.
There's another thing and I cannot remember what it was, but it was very funny.
Yeah, we know.
You're starting to sound like one of those guys, though.
I'm not, though.
I got to proof the pizza.
You have to proof dough.
What does that mean?
Yeah, what does that mean?
I'm going to explain it.
I don't know why I'm explaining this now.
Well, actually, I'll tell you, my wife went to her parents' house yesterday and they're
talking to her and they're like, you know, we're going to have frozen pizza.
She's like, Brian won't eat them anymore.
And they were like, oh, that's too bad.
And she was like, I don't care.
He makes dough.
It's like better.
You know what I mean?
And she was like he and they were like, do you want my dough recipe?
And she was like, no.
He's got two dough recipes.
He's got one you can do during the day.
He's got another one.
It's a cold ferment.
Take 72 hours.
He does those two things.
I want to say that I kind of understand not wanting the dough recipe for Katie from Katie's
parents just to clarify Betsy that they do live in a chicken coop and they shit into buckets.
so I don't know that I would be taking.
They also gave you homemade medicine one year.
What was the homemade medicine?
They never tried it.
It had scull and crossbones on it as a joke.
Literally as a joke they put a skull and said cough medicine and I had a skull and sculling crossbones on it.
I was like, well, I don't even want to know what this.
I smelled it.
Yeah.
Didn't smell good.
Of course.
They didn't have a good smell.
But in fairness, good medicine often doesn't smell good.
It's just, it was probably some herbs and shit.
they had around the house that they stuck in like yeah so they said they gave that to us one year for
christmas i think it's still sitting somewhere in this apartment yeah yeah christmas yeah that's when
you get a cough that's when you can get a cold i thought it was like under the tree merry christmas
we made you medicine they did and that's what it was yeah we made you some medicine we made you a thing
they made me a weird thing this is so funny they made us a weird thing that's a weird thing that
said Quinby's.
I'm like they,
that's my last name.
And they put it,
they like stitched something and they made it look like Ohio State University like
logo because I,
my daughter's in Ohio State.
And I graduated from Ohio State.
But this is before my daughter was even in college.
Okay.
They give it to us.
It's got the little Buckeye thing on it.
Instead of the Buckeye leaf,
they made it a marijuana leaf.
You don't know.
They don't even smoke marijuana.
I did.
Do they smoke marijuana?
They do because they get it off of us.
Like me and Katie have it around the house.
So they don't want to like go to a dispensary and buy the weed.
But they're like, hey, when you come over, could you just bring us a little bit of weed?
Oh, so this is when you get when you did smoke weed.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
She still smokes weed.
Yeah.
Let's take a look at this is, this is some of these pictures, I think I feel.
disgusted by.
And the first thing we're going to look at as a
Jimmy Dean Maple Grittle cake, which
the score inflation for
these things is incredible because this
is a 10 out of 10.
Ooh. And it looks gross.
It looks gross. It looks like
something you would get like on
a plane or something or they would give you
as like, you know, this is their force to give you a meal
for breakfast. So that this is
yeah, like a prison type situation.
And it's like crazy hot on the outside and then ice cold in the middle.
Oh, God, I'll tell you.
I was like, oh.
I got Shake Shack on a flight.
I was the most excited person in the world that were like, we got Shachak
on this flight.
But they didn't have fries.
I found disgust.
I was like, fuck you.
You found that disgusting?
But you know, I don't like a meal without fries.
Betsy, this guy is very up for crust.
Oh, yeah.
Mr. loves fries.
I get fries with that really.
Um, he eats his own crust.
We get it.
I am making my,
I bought a fry thing.
I did buy a fry thing so I could take potatoes and.
Oh,
you cut your own french fries.
Oh my God.
It's cheaper.
It's not fancy though.
It's cheaper to just use a potato than it is to buy a bag of frozen French fry.
It's always cheaper.
You have to like peel the potato and stuff.
You don't though because I don't peel the potato.
You leave the.
Do you just rinse
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Cut it up and then dunk it in?
Yep.
Well, you gotta stick it in a lot
You gotta put it in water for a half hour
For a one year and then
That's already too much.
That's always too much work.
He has time though.
Brian,
Brian likes to do projects and stuff,
you know,
like he does let,
he used to do Lego and stuff.
Like he likes to do little projects
and like do things like that.
So it makes sense to me that
And again,
he does have,
we have the easiest job in the whole world
that doesn't take up.
His,
his daughter is out of,
of the house now.
So he just has all kinds of time to be making pizzas and making French fries.
It's funny that you are like, you're kind of like, yeah, I'm going to do it myself.
It's like, but you're still having pizza and French rice, you know?
Yeah.
I mean, we make other stuff around here, but yeah, we had lasagna yesterday.
That was very good.
This first person goes, L.O. I ain't like five of these today.
They're so good.
Time to eat another one.
Hmm.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, that's a, it doesn't.
And just for the listener, because you didn't see the photo, it does not appear healthy.
I bring these to work some days.
And literally all my coworkers are down bad for it.
Ha ha.
The maple smell wafts pretty far.
Oh my God.
Okay.
So it does it has a strong like maple.
I mean, this is like a thing that they have at McDonald's now or whatever, right?
Like you can get the, the, the, it's like a McGritle.
I love the McGritle.
I've never had a McGritle before.
I've never had one before.
Never had one.
But I've, yeah.
It's like pancakes and sausage.
Yeah.
I don't get the eggs.
I hate eggs.
Okay.
Yeah.
They make me sick.
Really?
To look at it.
I don't even like having them in the house.
I had eggs this morning, actually.
I had eggs this morning for breakfast.
Well, my wife eats eggs because she's a vegetarian.
She eats them all the time.
I hate it, though.
Right.
Oh, no.
Has that been all your life of just like eggs are fucking gross?
It's weird.
Because when I was a little kid, my grandma used to make eggs every Sunday.
I'd eat them all the time.
Yeah.
Now when I see eggs, I'm just like, this is the most disgusting thing in the world.
I think it's the smell of them.
Did you have, did you, oh, it might.
It's the smell that bothers me.
I could see that a little bit.
Yeah, I mean, eggs smell, like, especially if they're, like, rotten eggs or whatever.
She does hard boiled.
Katie does hard boiled.
Oh, yeah.
And, like, makes an egg salad with them.
Oh, yeah.
Can I tell you so bad?
I am 100% with you on that because Ariel would do the same thing in our other, in our old apartment.
It was like a small apartment and she would make a bunch of hard boiled eggs.
And it would smell intensely like farts in the apartment.
Yeah.
The bad feeling.
This guy goes controversial, so get ready.
Uh-oh.
I'd be interested in trying a chocolate chip variation of this.
Okay.
Putting chocolate with eggs.
Chocolate with eggs is so gross sounding to me.
Yeah, I don't think I can do that.
No.
We got a little confrontation here.
This guy goes, I like them, but I don't appreciate burp and maple flavoring all day.
And then the guy replies it, it was, why are there always people who,
feel they need to tell the world what their burps taste like.
I mean,
I think that's important when you're reviewing food.
To be honest,
they should all do it.
I think,
yeah,
you are not allowed to be weirded by out by what anybody is saying
on this frozen food.
Yeah.
You're not allowed to be like,
whoa,
now that's fucked up,
man.
Don't tell us about your burbs.
It's like,
you're here and you're ready to comment
where it's game on for everybody.
Yeah,
you know where you.
you are, you know where you've come to, just be prepared for all of it.
Somebody just suggested chocolate chip with bacon and sausage and eggs.
This guy goes, I like the blueberry ones.
Then one time I randomly opened a sand dough and found something, dried up maggot or rat turd,
thinking maggot, but eh, have I bought them since?
Yeah, it's Jamie Dean, but it didn't feel good.
Yeah, hey, that's the name you can trust.
Jimmy Dean?
So would Jimmy Dean do that again?
Would Jimmy Dean do it again?
Jimmy Dean.
Yeah, you want to do it again.
I can see Jimmy Dean making an honest mistake once.
You know what I mean?
But the idea of him doing it repeatedly seems crazy to me.
One thing about frozen food guys that I've learned is that they do give a few chances.
If something gives them diarrhea, they're like, maybe that was just a bad one.
And they'll just eat it again.
One guy said three strikes and you are out.
That's made it three times.
Yeah. I mean, I feel I'll do that. You know, where it's just like, I eat Taco Bell a ton
and it's just kind of like, oh, that was just kind of a, my stomach was being weird that day.
I'll keep going. You victim blame on it. It's always my stomach. It's never the food. It's me. I'm having
a bad day. You know what, Taco Bell, I'm not going to begrudge you. It must be me. Never. Never.
This guy, this is a fight. There was actually a fight on the frozen three.
subreddit and it was because this this guy gave his meal a zero out of 10 it's fried chicken and
mashed potatoes stofer's and it doesn't look good it looks like it looks like it looks like
vomit it looks like it looks like fake vomit you know that you like slap on the floor did
it's just like that it looks it looks all congealed there's pieces of corn in it it's all you can see
you can see the actual food is in there though you can see the actual food is in there though you can
see a piece of chicken kind of submerged in the mess kind of just like come up for air or something
like that in the middle of it. But yeah, it does. It looks. It's funny because above it is the pitcher and it does
not look like the picture. It doesn't look the same as on the package. If you get the package,
you're going to be really let down by what it looks like once you cook it. Holy shit. Holy shit.
It's, I just looked at what it is. It's just mashed potatoes. It's fried chicken and mashed potatoes.
So I guess there's supposed to be gravy on it. But the gravy is like a,
like a soup like situation so you can't see the mashed potatoes well you can kind of see the mashed potatoes now
that you put it bring it up because it's between two pieces of chicken i can see a little river of
mashed potatoes i thought that was something floated to the top like a congealed kind of like that's literally
what i thought this is this is zero out of ten this guy goes i bought a frozen meal expecting something
resembling the crisp neat layers shown on the box packaging instead the final result after cooking was
an absolute disaster. I've never come across a frozen dinner. It looks so completely unappetizing.
The gravy corn and breading all melted together into a liquid brown mush. The meat quality was
just as disappointing, making me wonder if these were just leftover chicken scraps tossed into a
tray. Well, yeah, that's what they were. That's exactly what they were. Of course. Yeah. I mean,
you mentioned everything melting. It's like, you kind of did melt everything into a suit.
You put it into a microwave. Yeah. It feels like
Maybe they'll cover this in the argument, but it's like you are being a little naive if you think that it is.
It doesn't look anything like the photo, but it's like you can't expect it to be the same as the photo that you're looking at.
It's a dozen dinner, dude. It's going to look gross. They all look gross.
Yeah. It's part of it. Yeah. It's almost part of the experience is like seeing how different it is inside the thing than it wasn't.
Yeah. Like it costs, it costs four dollars. You're not going to give.
good chicken and mashed potatoes and stuff for that.
Yeah.
Well, he does tell you, he goes, the visual presentation is honestly insulting to the customer.
I'd love to see the CEO of Stouffer sit down and actually try to eat this exact food.
That would be kind of bad.
Remember like the McDonald's guys?
That would be awesome to see.
That would actually be a very cool thing to do is have them all these guys sit down and eat their horrible food.
That's suggested a few times.
They would be just like, this product is tasty.
And it's like, you're not even calling it food like the McDonald's guy.
I love this product.
And it's like, oh, call it food.
You know, it's not.
First guy goes, I guess he thinking they'd have the components in separate compartments,
but I have no idea how you would have expected this to be layered.
And this other guy goes, because the picture on a box that shows what it should look like,
they should take care with the details.
That's a very funny thing to say about the stovers, fried chicken and mashed potato.
and corn and gravy.
They should take care of it.
It's so funny.
He goes, the picture on the box is even layered.
It's all mixed.
It's just less gravy and more potatoes on the box.
And here comes the O.P.
He comes in.
Now he goes,
ah, yes.
Because things placed on top of other things is called mixing in your universe.
It's a vertical stack of potatoes,
corn, chicken, and gravy.
If I stack bricks on top of each other, they aren't mixed.
They're layered.
Thanks for the breakdown, Gordon Ramsey.
Oh, shit.
I don't even really get that.
Why did he call him Gordon Ramsey at the end?
Because he thinks that it should have been...
So this is the main guy, right?
He wanted it to be layered.
So he wanted there to be mashed potatoes on the bottom.
And then you drop some gravy on it and some corn.
And then you put...
So like he had this fantasy of what the meal was going to be.
And it wasn't that.
Can't you just...
Can't you tell by the shape of the box and how thin it is
that that's not even physically possible.
Yeah.
You can't even do that.
It's not like a bowl, you know?
It's also once again, like you're cooking something fro, like, it's going to all.
Mixed together.
And it's in a fucking microwave.
Yeah.
It's going to all cook together.
It's a good, like, the one guy brought up, like, having it separated is kind of the play there.
But I think this is what they're going for is that they're saying, hey,
Slop.
It's slop.
This shit tastes so bad.
We don't even want you to...
Yeah, the gravy is the only part of this
that has so much salt and shit in it that it tastes okay.
So we're just going to mix it all together.
And then that's the only way you're going to be able to eat it.
So it's obviously done on purpose.
Well, the guy comes back to the O.P.
And he goes, imagine calling someone miserable because you got confused by basic vocabulary.
Have a better day.
This guy goes, girl, I have stage four breast, this woman.
Girl, I have stage four breast cancer.
and I'm less miserable than you are.
Oh, grim refer.
Then he replies.
He replies to it.
I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis
and what you're fighting through,
but using your terminal illness
to pick a fight and drop personal insults
on a Reddit thread,
about a $4.19.
Stoufers' frozen dinner for Publix
is incredibly uncalled for.
You can tell.
I know, let her do whatever she was, man.
It did feel...
Let her go on Reddit and fucking roast your ass.
Yeah.
And honestly, it's like...
He shouldn't have replied.
He should have been like I lost the end.
Oh my God.
I'm so sorry.
That's it.
Goodbye.
That's it.
Yeah, goodbye.
I'm really sorry to hear about that.
You're right.
What happened was he got really upset because he's like started feeling bad and like guilty like he was a dickhead.
And then he got mad at her for being like, you shouldn't have done that to me.
You shouldn't have made me feel this way on this subreddit.
I don't want to feel these real feelings on here.
But like, yeah.
And honestly, I mean, I don't know what it would be like to have.
stage four. I'm sure it's like you're thinking about it all the time. So you're going to let you know,
you're bringing it up and like talking about it. And yeah. So it seems like it's something that you would
just go. You just fucking if you're that guy and you're arguing about a meal and then the person goes,
you're arguing with someone with stage four terminal breast cancer. Yeah. And then you should just be like,
oh shit. I can't believe I'm arguing with. Sometimes you never know who you're arguing with.
Yeah. It's a good lesson to learn.
It is a good lesson to learn.
You never know who you're arguing with on Reddit.
He goes, is that not my...
She goes, you started with the personal attacks
because you didn't like my use of the word layer.
Get a life.
I promise this dinner didn't hurt you.
And he goes, is that not my right to point out
what the word layered really means?
I have a beautiful life.
I tasted the chicken.
I sleep in a beautiful big bed with my life.
With my big, beautiful wife.
My wife is...
Oh my God.
Telling the cancer person that you have a beautiful life in his argument on Reddit.
I mean,
this is about a fucking frozen meal.
I get,
I mean,
listen,
it's like it does seem,
it's tough to like,
again,
like you said,
if somebody says it for right or wrong.
Even if,
even if they're like,
it doesn't matter.
Yeah,
of course.
Yeah.
And even if it is maybe inappropriate in the context to bring up and like it
does seem like,
you know,
even then it doesn't matter.
You just walk away because you have.
You're not going to come out looking good in this.
No matter what.
No matter what.
Because even if then this woman comes out and is like, just kidding, I'm fine.
It's like, we still saw how you react to somebody who says they're sick.
Yeah, you're done.
Yeah.
You got to leave.
This guy goes, it's a frozen dinner, my friend.
Not sure what fancy layered frozen dinners you usually buy, but this isn't fine dining.
and he goes, exactly.
It's a cheap frozen dinner, not a Michelin Star menu,
but stacking the chicken on top of corn on top of potatoes,
it's still a literal definition of layers.
You don't need fine dining prices to understand basic geometry.
He's really stuck on the layers thing,
where he's just like, all I want you guys to do is admit
that I was right about this not being lair.
If someone just said that to him, he would be happy, I think.
And everybody is telling him, like in the background of this,
thing. Everybody is telling them like, this is like the cheapest dinner you can get like you're spent
no money on this. And then the other background thing that we won't see much of is everybody's like,
I mean, zero out of 10 is is harsh. This is a four to a six out of 10. That was everybody else's
opinion was around four or six out of 10. Because like I said, the inflation of grades in this group,
I'm going to show you, I'm going to show you guys the most popular thing I found.
And when you see it, you'll be like, this stuff, this stuff to me, we did MRI guys meals ready to
eat like military meals from the 1920s and stuff that people will eat.
And some of this food looks the same as that.
It looks worse.
Some of it looks worse.
This is the most popular thing I found.
Like one where they're like, this is the most beautiful one we've eaten.
Well, this guy gives it a seven out of ten,
but everybody else gives it a ten out of ten.
They love them.
And it's called the great value bacon cheese burgers.
See, right then and there, I'm out.
It doesn't, like, just for the fact of, like,
a cheeseburger is not the type of food that I would,
that I would heat up in a microwave and froze.
Like, I would never, I want the separate component.
I want to go Brian mode on a, on a hamburger for sure.
We have one time got the white.
Castle mini birds.
Yeah.
Microwave.
They were pretty awesome.
Okay.
But I'm with you. I'm usually like a bird.
I'm like there's no fucking way.
Like there's no way I want that frozen and then in a microwave.
But those white castle ones were pretty awesome.
They're different.
I think they probably make them the regular way and immediately deep freeze them.
This is my problem.
But this is my problem with it is that it to me it feels like the meat needs to be heated
up so much more than the bun.
Yes.
And so they'll get some solutions to that actually.
Okay.
Okay.
Thank God.
Maybe I'll, maybe I'll change.
I don't think I.
Chris, I want to tell you guys, this may be an Ohio thing.
Mm-hmm.
But like when I go to the grocery store, I will see a lot of guys filling their cart
with like frozen cheeseburgers.
Like a lot of frozen cheese burgers.
I don't even think we have frozen cheeseburgers where I'm in Vancouver.
I'm in, I'm in a whole different country.
But maybe I'm wrong and I don't know the, the, the,
area to look, but I don't know that I've seen really, like, like I shop very regularly and I go to
the frozen part of it. And I don't think I've ever seen frozen cheese, like fully for like frozen
white castle. I'm going to look for them. Well, this is a Walmart. We've gone to Walmart. We have
Walmart and I've even gone to Walmart there. And I'm just trying to think like I've obviously frozen
hamburger patties, but never the complete hamburger cheese. Well, the first line of this review is
really ringing endorsement. I truly think these are decent.
I mean, that is kind of all you can hope for with the frozen thing.
I'm like, this is pretty, this is pretty much cheeseburger.
Yeah, this is close enough to a cheeseburger.
This is not completely disgusting.
It does seem like it should get a good rating.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, this guy goes, I have a funny story about these great value bacon cheeseburgers.
I read several reviews when I first saw them in the app.
And I landed upon a review by a husband and wife.
same house, same box, and same married couple.
Husband rated at a three, wife rated it a nine.
And I was like, how can they be scored so vastly different from the same house and box?
Well, husband goes on to say, only okay, these really need fresh arugula tomatoes, caramelized shallots, garlic aoli, fresh guacamole and crispy French onions.
Then they might be worth the price.
And then he goes, I'm thinking, dude, if you want all that, go to a gastro pub for Hope cuisine burger, not great value.
wife i didn't have to cook i didn't have to do the dishes i stuck it in my pie hole was full and went to bed
content nine out of ten that is so funny i didn't have to make better like i didn't have to fucking
make them i didn't have to make fucking caramelized onions for my husband or fresh a raleigh i got to
just eat and go to sleep it's so true because the different the two reviews like the guys like
we needed this and this and freshly chopped parsley you know and then you get the idea that
he's expecting these seriously well-made meals from her that take a bunch of time.
Or even if he makes the meals, then he thinks it's fair to do the deal where it's like,
well, you do the dishes.
Right.
Which is also a pain in the ass.
Like if you make the meal and you make a big messy meal, you need to either pitch in to do the dishes.
Well, it depends.
It depends on what the thing is.
And I don't think we don't do that in this household either.
But I think it does depend.
If you have that as an agreement and you guys go back and forth.
cooking. But you're right. If you're just like, all right, we never do this, but I'm going to make a
meal tonight for you and then you do the dishes and you just use so many dishes, then that is
kind of a shitty thing to do. This guy goes, I cook up the patty and the bacon in a pan. Then I nuke
the bun and cheese in the microwave for a moment. Add a little ketchup and mayo and they're delicious.
Okay. So this guy, I guess it just takes a shorter amount of time still. I was going to say,
why not just make regular hamburgers at that point? If you're, if you're, if you're,
them up but I guess it still is takes less time to do right this guy rocks he goes no one'll believe
me but this thing's used to taste amazing like god tier they heavy focused on flavor rather than quality
then one i love the concept though these were way better when they focused on flavor over quality
now they're all worried about the quality of the food and not making when these were like
when these tasted really good and would make you extremely sick that's when they were in their heyday
Then one day they change the recipe
And now it tastes how you'd expect
Bring back the old patty batter, please
We love these kind of guys
They call it the old patty batter
That's gross
And we deal with these guys quite a bit
On our podcast as a guys like
The old recipe, the old way
You don't have met
You don't know how good stuff used to be
You know like nostalgic
We did a whole episode
Onistagic guys who were all over that
What were the Maltow men Brian?
Oh those were chocolate guys
Those were chocolate guys where they said that there was this, this Malto stuff that they took out or something like that.
The Malto men who were like fighting for the Malto to come back.
Maltho Dextrin.
I will say, Rees's peanut buttercups have changed.
Oh, I think they're right about.
I think.
Betsy, you might be a Malto man.
You might need to look into this because it might be something.
Do you want to go like comment and threads all day instead of doing it?
Maybe I have.
But we really miss it.
You can really taste it.
You might not know up in Canada because I feel Canada they have good chocolate everywhere.
Our chocolate's better, I think.
I think that they say we get like our chocolate for like a UK style chocolate.
Maybe someone told me that's nonsense.
But we at least believe our chocolate is better.
But yeah, no, I think those guys are right.
I think that and I think there's definitely some truth to the fact that like corporations are like,
hey, let's cut corners and try to make now that everybody.
likes our stuff. Let's like make it a little bit worse for cheaper. So I'm sure that's happened.
I do I do want to go back to the the mashed potato and chicken argument because there was a little
bit more to that that I didn't get to and I think you guys will really like it. Yes.
Guy goes, uh, looks good to me, but I have insanely low standards. And then the OP replies
and goes, looks like something I left in a toilet pole. And then the next guy, this is the greatest
guy in the world. Congratulations. You just described gravy and corn.
Yeah, that's what gravy and corn.
It looks like literal diarrhea of pieces.
Wake up.
I can't tell if that guy likes gravy and corn.
Yeah.
Like if he's like, I don't like gravy and corn.
It's disgusting.
You know what I mean?
But like I love the idea of him being a fan of gravy and corn.
And then a guy describes it as being left in a toilet.
And he's like, no, that's what it looks like.
You just described it.
I mean, famously corn doesn't like get broken out, right?
So corn will show up in poo or whatever still, right?
So I guess if you do have a diarrhea and you ate some corn, I think it might look a little bit like gravy and corn.
He does go, I have actually ate a few of these before.
This guy, I love this guy.
I've actually ate a few of these before.
The picture on the box makes it appear so much better than the reality of what it truly looks like.
It's okay, as I've had worse.
But there are better frozen dinners out there.
My biggest issue with this meal is it tastes hot to me.
Like not a temperature hot, but a drowning and pepper hot.
I tend to stick to the lasagna and stuffed peppers by stovers.
So this guy found it too spicy, which is fantastic.
This guy found chicken and gravy and mashed potatoes too spicy.
It's spicy.
And you'll see this a lot as we go a lot.
Because listen, no frozen meal is going to be spicy.
They just don't make them spicy.
They don't put anything in them.
Yeah, they're bland.
They're known to be bland.
They're supposed to be.
Yeah.
By the very design.
I think the people who are eating them the most don't want like, like, they think it's, they go out to eat to restaurants.
Like, if they go to a nice restaurant, they're like, that shit's all gross.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
They like this.
This is what they're into.
They like salty, salty maybe.
Like they'll pour salt all over.
Sometimes they do.
A lot of them talk a lot about salt.
Like, I didn't cut this, Chris, but I was on the fish board.
like the band P-H-I-S-H fantasy looking at them talking about their favorite meals and this one guy
I can read you the post it's so good I had to bring it up listen to fish Betsy have you ever
so I tried really hard to get into them in college because I went to a school where like jam bands
were the thing so I tried to get into them string cheese incident yeah of course I
I don't even know that we
I know those two.
String cheese cheese instrument.
Oh,
whatever.
String cheese instrument.
Yeah, I get it.
No, string cheese incident was just here.
A couple of OAA was just here the other day.
They're from here.
Yeah,
I tried so hard and I could not get in.
It sucks.
I think the big issue you probably were up against was that it fucking sucks.
It's horrible.
It fucking sucks.
Yeah, like you probably gave me.
it a good job but it's really horrible to listen to it. So many friends were like, here's their May
96 show from whatever. And I was like, okay, let's go. And it was just like, yeah, why don't a song?
When somebody, when somebody tells me that there's a good band, it's like, I want to hear a song from them,
but it's like you can't even do that. You have to hear the whole fucking show because they noodle out
for 45 minutes while people get a trip out on acid.
Up there with a vacuum cleaner,
just all kinds of weird shit.
I'm just like,
I'm a weird guy, man,
but I can't do this.
And the worst part about it is it's like,
even if you do like the music,
didn't you like try to get into it?
And you're like,
you're dealing with all these sweaty,
drug-addicted people who are like just the concerts.
We hear,
what was the guy?
That one guy who,
they're constantly fighting.
They hate each other.
They hate each other because they're like,
the one guy,
they get all,
they get so fucked up on drugs.
They're going to like an eight hour
or like a six-hour concert.
And they're like getting all fucked up on drugs
And the one guy like pissed himself
And was like leaning on it
Leading on everyone
Yeah so you're like even if fear
So these guys paid sphere prices
It's got peer's pants
Like they're like there's
Of course
You are in an air conditioned place
Where toilets are available
Okay this makes me really mad at
These fucking jam banners
If you had to heard
that episode. I think we did it on a bonus episode where he covered that. We had a name for him too,
but he was also, he's like, he's like, just to let you know, I'm like, you know, six foot eight
350 pounds. So he's just this like monster of a man completely getting in everyone's personal
space with his kiss all over his pants. Yeah, they finally got him kicked out, but it was hard
because you have to go tell somebody. And then that person is like, do I want to fucking try to drag this
fucking guy with pee in his pants out of here.
He's pissed his pants. And he
was so high on drugs that he like had to go
to the hospital after. He apologized. Yeah.
The post we were reading
was an apology. Was an apology to the people around.
I'm really sorry I peed my pants and leaned all
over everybody. It's like sweaty
body all over people and stuff.
Oh my God.
Whoa.
I get it. It looks like shit.
But it's hard for me to believe you expect a frozen
chicken and a pile of mashed potatoes
and gravy to be crisp. And he goes,
deflection. It's labeled as fried chicken and the packaging displays a neat textured meal. Instead,
it turns into an appetizing puddle of brown slop. You can obsess over the word crisp all you want,
but it doesn't change the fact that the product is absolute garbage and a total waste of money.
It's $4. Way to pick out the word crisp and jump all over it. My point remains. Brian, did you get the
fish post, by the way? We got to have you. Yeah, yeah. This is from a fish. He goes, been a long time,
since I've seen you, he's talking to a guy who said,
old friend,
but he goes, been a long time since I've seen your post.
Salt is the best condiment.
It's actually really healthy for you.
And even in large amounts,
despite what people say,
always salted butter.
That's a guy who loves salt.
Maybe I'm dumb.
Is salt a condiment?
Is that it is a condiment?
I mean,
you can get salt.
I was just thinking about this yesterday,
but a bunch of guys I grew up with,
I remember we,
if we go out and get pizza.
I mean,
kind of,
but we'd go on and get pizza.
Yeah.
pizza and they put salt on the pizza it's disgusting i don't know why they were doing it but guys i grew up
with did it all the time yeah people do that and then put salt on the pizza people do that people yeah people do that
yeah people do that i know people who did that for sure and even i think when i was younger i would do it like when i was
like a kid you know i might have tried it once but it was never a habit i just always felt like it was so weird
this guy goes it's a frozen meal dog not fine dining i feel like using the type to get duped by fast food
commercials left with tears streaming down your face wondering why you're
Big Mac doesn't look like the ones in the ads.
And then finally, this is why I wanted to go back to this.
This first guy goes, this your first time?
A little funny.
And he replies and goes, no.
I've eaten frozen dinners for many years.
I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s when a TV dinner was very good.
Okay, so this guy's elderly.
He's online as an elderly man arguing about this makes a bit more sense now.
breast cancer.
By the way,
elderly man.
Oh, it's the same guy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I had to go back to it.
And now it makes sense of like,
of course the dude who grew up in the 60s and 70s is still like,
no,
I'm going to keep arguing with this sick woman.
He went on with other people.
He went on with other people.
There were so many posts in the thread from him.
He was just,
he's retired.
He sounds like that guy's got to learn about a little game called pickleball.
You know what I mean?
Yeah. I just can't imagine. Like, I try to think of like my grandpa, like arguing on the internet.
Oh, I just can't even picture it at all. It is a little bit. I think that like, well, it would be our parents now, right? So I can't picture my dad. Yeah, no, I can't picture it either. It does seem like it'll be our generation.
Yeah. That is like, get elderly and we'll be arguing on the internet all the time. And that sort of makes sense to me. But yeah, my dad, he never grew up on the end.
internet, right? So he never was like, he, he didn't do that shit at all. So the idea of him going on there
on Reddit, you know, he had stuff he was passionate about, but he would talk to people in real
life about it. I feel like, and like when they left, that was the end of it or whatever. But yeah,
the idea of him going online and checking to see like how many upvotes he got on his reply on
Reddit is very funny. It's frozen food. It's frozen food subreddit that he frequents.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
He was like, you know, editing and double checking to be like, yeah, this sounds really good.
The only thing I nailed it.
And I spelled everything right.
Okay, perfect.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Definitely.
Like doing it in the way it's surprising because he's not signing his boat, you know,
with like his name at the end of it.
Like an old person.
I mean, also this.
He's a very good internet guy for his age.
Like he's punching above his weight for his age.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He may have been in computers his whole life.
You know?
Yeah, that's true.
He might have had a computer related job or like had to learn social media at some
point like 15 years ago or 20 years ago.
Yeah.
Yeah, because other elderly guys are like, they're fighting, but they're like on Facebook and
it's all politics and stuff like that.
It's not this kind of fighting.
Yeah, you're right.
They do get online and fight on Facebook a lot now that you're mentioning it.
And then there is that great.
There's that great video that I.
talked about on a very recent episode about the two as old CFL football players, Joe Cap,
who was an NFL player as well when they had a big rivalry and they were at some fancy dinner
and then they started fist fighting and they're like 75 years old.
So I do appreciate an old person fighting, but I prefer to see them doing it with their fists.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Come on, come on.
It just is, it is interesting to see a guy that did not grow up with the internet acting like
you know and he did betray his age a few times if you like if you remember the uh the post earlier
oh this is the old guy you know what i mean because it only an old guy the reason he went back at
that woman with breast cancer is because he's the old guy yeah that's what that's he was saying
you can't use that against me yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i don't care how dare you be spending your
time sick doing this i'm the normal one like you're weird for that it's like
I have a beautiful life.
Dude, old guy.
This is a review from Amazon for Stoufers classic lasagna with meat sauce, which is a classic.
This is.
This is.
I've seen this in the grocery store.
I've never bought it, but I've seen it.
We were in college every once in a while.
We're like, let's be fancy on Sundays and get a stover lasagna.
That was your, they're expensive.
It takes so long to cook, too.
We thought we were so fancy.
We're like, it takes like three.
Three hours to heat up.
We're being such adults, dude.
Yeah, we got it.
We have to plan ahead for this, like the way that mom and dad would for one of their big pot roasts or whatever.
Yeah, that's nice, though.
It is nice.
Again, I do, I'm envious of your college times.
You were thinking a little bit of vegetables.
You were like giving yourself a fancy dinner on Sunday nights and stuff.
This was one my grandma would do, too.
Like, she'd make, like, three of these things.
Yeah.
on like a holiday that's not like Thanksgiving, you know, Christmas.
She'd be like, we're doing lasagna this year.
I hate lasagna, by the way.
So that would be a nightmare for me.
She grew up.
I'm not a not a lasagna fan at all.
And my mom and like they would make it sometimes.
And it was always sort of my like more hated one of my more hated meals.
So it has my grandma.
My grandma's huge famous thing about my grandma was, well,
there's a few things.
But the big thing was that she grew up with the Stoufers family.
Like she knew the Stoufers.
I think they lived in the same neighborhood or something.
I don't fucking know.
She would talk about all the time.
She's like, I know the stofers.
That's what I'm saying, Betsy.
This guy is a very much not in the same world as us.
This guy, Brian.
Yeah, we were very fancy.
We were very fancy.
You know that nice lasagna meal that you would have on a Sunday night?
Yeah, Brian knew the family behind that.
I didn't know him.
I had no idea.
I didn't know them.
She knew some of them.
Hey, Brian, can you get in touch with the Stoufers and let me know that Betsy enjoyed their lasagna?
Let them know that I enjoyed it in college.
One of your working class friends actually enjoyed there.
I didn't meet them, but she used to be like, yeah, they used to live like right over there.
They're from Cleveland.
So I think they.
It could be just one of those things too.
I'm sure they probably didn't know them.
They probably actually were just in the neighborhood, right?
They talked.
I know they talked because she knew two of them like personally.
I think two of them came to a thing or something.
If I'm not mistaken, I don't know exactly.
Church maybe through church.
No, we're not church people.
Okay.
I don't come from church people.
Neither are the stoffering.
Maybe bowling.
My grandma was huge into bowling.
She bowled on a show called Bowling for dollars.
Oh, really?
She was also in the military.
Wow.
Yeah, my grandma was kind of cool.
Yeah, that sounds like she was fucking cool.
Is that your dad's your dad's mom?
My dad's mom.
I was going to say.
It's amazing how my dad turned out.
Yeah, your dad was.
But your dad is huge into bowling as well.
So now that makes sense, right?
Okay.
Yeah, he saw his mom on TV bowling.
He's like, I got to get into that.
And he got really good.
He got really good.
He's like bowed 300s and stuff before.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Brian stole his thing.
I have a ring.
I have a ring.
Brian stole his 300 ring and claimed it as his own,
which is like one of the most dishonest things he's ever done on the podcast.
I just got lucky, really.
I was out bowling.
I bowed a 300.
He doesn't even bowl triple digits.
I bowed the 200.
I bought the 200.
I actually got into bowling for a while after we did bowling guys.
And I got my own ball and my own shoes and I would go every day to the bowling alley so I could get to 200 and I did it.
Can I tell you when Katie is like she's quitting her job?
She goes, we got to get into a bowling leg or some darts or something like that.
And I was like, man, you can do that.
Brian.
I don't want anything to do with that.
Brian's not a fool.
Yeah, Brian.
But I'm saying, Brian, if you just get over.
there and I told we talked about this get out there and bowl a little bit on your own and then just
get a little bit better and then I promise you like I said when I went to the alley I would see people
in bowling leagues like the leagues would be playing beside me and I'd be the one guy by myself with
my own ball feeling like a real loser but I would see them bowling and a lot of them are really bad
like you know what I mean the level of it is not like what you're imagined they're not good bowlers
they're just out there to hang out and fucking socialize my dad bolden leagues all the time so it's
kind of like he would have bowled in higher he would have bowled in league like there's different
levels of leagues for sure i wonder why he never went like i guess you got to bowl almost 300s
every time to be pro yeah yeah yeah to 90 or right yeah no that's not true they don't have
that high of it they're like 220 average or two maybe like a 240 average but it's about consistency
it's about consistency and then also brian listen i don't want to get into the minutial bowling
He didn't quit and come across like too much of a bowling guy.
But again, when you're playing on house lanes, the oil patterns make it very easy to bowl higher scores.
All right.
So, when you get into the league play, the oil patterns are very difficult.
So the professional bowlers are doing it on much more difficult oil patterns.
So that's the big difference.
Take that, Dad.
You couldn't, hey, Dad, I'd like to see you fucking try, loser.
Yeah, with those oil patterns.
See, I got his ass.
You know what he did to me.
Brian has a bad relationship with this.
Bring him down.
I told my dad my workout and he was like, yeah, it's nothing.
And everybody else was like, that's a crazy workout.
Why are you doing that?
I was like going on the treadmill and I was putting it up to 12 incline and going on like
3.5 for 60 minutes.
And it was just an insane workout.
And then I'm like talking about dad.
He was like, oh yeah, that's pretty easy.
I used to do that.
I was like, what the fuck are you talking about?
That's easy.
That's as high as incline as you can get.
Well, for you, it's hard.
I get it.
but for a guy who with that type of bowling experience,
he was also a,
he was also a Division I athlete as well.
No, he was not.
Somebody was trying to find him.
And I was like,
I think he played like one game or practiced with Ohio State hockey team.
I don't think he was like this great hockey player.
And he was a goalie.
I think he probably stunk.
No disrespect to goalie,
but you have to be in worse.
You have to be in worse,
not as good as shape to be a goal.
Everybody probably booed him when he came out.
All right. All right. I think we're getting a little too hard. You know me. I'm a big fan of your dad having never met him before because he has a great admiration for Canadians. So he has a great love of Canadian.
He loves Chris. Anyway, Mark says, Mark says possibly the worst lasagna I've ever ate. If you're looking for something to taste more like cardboard than lasagna, then this is the stuff for you. I'm not looking for that. And he goes, the perfect thing to serve when your mother-in-law is visiting.
Oh, that's good humor.
We all hate.
Okay.
Shout out to the mother-in-law hate.
The mother-in-laws are so, we hate mother-in-law so much.
It's such a weird old.
This guy's elderly.
Such an old, yeah.
This dude's old.
It's such a weird, old-timey thing.
It's like guys being into legs.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, oh, yeah, look at him legs.
Like that one.
I'm having a lot of trouble these days because guess,
Guess what?
My damn mother-in-law's got the finest gams you've ever seen.
I'm totally torn here.
My mother-in-law, Wendy, she listens.
She'll be listening to this.
She listens to every episode.
She listens to the bonus episode.
And she's the Swedish.
She comes over and looks after Charlie when we need help with it.
We love, I mean, the idea of me just being like, oh, my God,
my freaking mother-in-law is coming over here.
It's so funny to have that attitude.
That's like a nice.
1940s attitude.
Yeah, right?
That's like,
that's like vaudeville.
Yeah,
it is.
I think that the stand-up comedians
of the 80s and 70s
maybe were still hitting it,
but it feels like
they were doing old material then even.
Yes, because they grew up
in that time where it was like,
yeah, mother-in-laws are awful, man.
Yeah.
Yeah, they learned that from their parents
and so they like came off doing comedy
and to them TV.
They learned it from like TV.
Like they watched the honeymooners
and they're like,
oh, mother-in-law.
are the worst.
This guy goes awful.
They changed the recipe.
It's awful.
I haven't had this in years.
And it changed so much for the worst.
Now,
I don't believe this,
number one.
I think if you haven't had this for years
and then you're like,
I'm going to go back to the stofer's frozen lasagna.
It's going to taste bad just because it was.
There's stuff you ate when you were a kid that tasted awesome then.
Yes.
You're just not going to eat now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's going to be bad.
It's going to, yeah, you've, like, you've graduated to, like, better food.
And then you go back and you're like, I'm going to eat this horrible food I used to eat when I was forced to.
And it's not going to taste as good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It goes like, I like better ingredients now.
Yeah.
It goes, it's super duper salty and tastes like off-brand cheap canned ravioli.
Yeah.
That's the best description I can come up with.
I literally baked.
did, plated it and served the family for dinner.
It was like a bad movie scene where everyone was chewing, deathly quiet, trying to
pretend everything was okay.
This stuff is awful.
I ended up throwing all a bit away.
We ordered in.
Tie instead.
This is rough because this guy, this guy, it's like, it's one thing to like have a bad
experience eating it.
This guy was humiliated by this.
This kind of give you like Mrs. Doubtfire vibes.
Like where he was, this was his first meal.
I'll cook a lasagna.
The kids all think, oh, yeah, I'm really good at this.
And then it was bad.
And he was just like, he'll never stop thinking about that because it's like that
silence, you know, as everybody is like, and he's feeling the embarrassment of like, this was
me.
I did this.
I ruined everybody's night.
It's like when I got my daughter to watch the naked gun and we were like 15 minutes
into it when she was really young.
she hated it, did not like that movie at all.
And I was like, yeah, I guess it doesn't hold up
and we just ended up turning at all.
It was so, really.
Such a genre that like kids, I feel we grew up with,
but kids didn't like, because I showed my language.
Like the new one, which my friend is Doug and Dan wrote.
And it's awesome.
And I kind of had to like explain to.
of them like, okay, a lot of stuff is going to happen.
A lot of jokes are going to happen.
Like, it's going to be kind of all over the place, but this is a type of comedy.
And then I think they kind of got into it.
But one niece was just like, I do not understand what is going on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like we, we had airplane to like I had seen airplane.
So I kind of under, I thought airplane was great.
I'd seen like top secret and all those movies.
So I kind of.
understood it at that time and then they kind of they stopped making i mean i saw anyone i saw i remember
seeing national lampoon's loaded weapon one on opening night yes that's the that's the night i'll never
forget that night the reason i'll never forget that night is because me and my friends were like
hey man it would look cool if we looked like gang members and we put uh wait what
wait what i've never heard this before i've never said this i don't think so i think i think i would
remember this if you dressed up like gang and this and to be clear he was in a violence gang
no i wasn't in a real gang and this is interesting when you say that your friends and you decided
this because you were in charge of fashion for your gang well first of all it's not a gang secondly
yeah i think we all saw colors and we really wait a second wait a second so not like mafiosos
no like blood's and christ i think we were
I was thinking, like, oh, no. Bloods and Crips.
Was Don Aaron there?
Yeah.
He was.
He is the leader of the game.
He wasn't the leader.
But anyway, he was there and he was joining in.
We all had a red du rag.
We had two or three of them.
Wait, well?
I had two of them because I would put one on my head and like tie it.
And then I would fold one up and hang it out of my back pocket.
Okay.
And that's like, so you were really.
So I was trying to show people I was in a game.
You were trying to pretend to actually be in the bloods gay.
Maybe.
And you went to the movie.
You went to a,
uh,
we're like,
let's go see a movie.
A parody.
A parody.
A parody.
So we're like,
let's go.
We're going to go to the movie.
So I'll go to the mall first.
We'll pick up some do rags.
Yeah.
We went to the mall.
They were like two bucks.
That night.
That's funny.
That's really.
Yeah.
That night.
We thought it would be such a cool idea.
I actually tied mine in the front and rolled it up like Tupac.
Two Puck.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
And then like, yeah, I, so we're at the movies and we're all there.
And then I go to the bathroom and there's these two like 20-year-old guys and they're like,
oh, are you guys in a big gang?
Big gangsters?
And I got so fucking embarrassed, man.
I just took it all off and came back and sat down to the theater without my stuff on anymore.
So they weren't just so the tone of it wasn't like, oh, you guys are in a gang?
Like, it was more that you could tell that they didn't actually think you were in a gang.
They were making fun of me.
They didn't think I was 14-year-old.
were tough gangsters.
Yeah.
And to be clear, some 14-year-olds
were in street gangs and aren't street gangs,
but I think that, yeah, if you saw...
I was not into Bloods.
They had the Bloods chapter and...
Yeah, Brian and Brian, Brian just,
he was like a very thin kid,
a very kind of scobey, corn-loving kind of new metal kind of kid,
you know?
Oh, this before that.
Before, okay.
Oh, yeah, this is before.
hairstyle would you have was it braided in the front hanging down uh i mean it would she yeah i had the
bangs and stuff you had the braided bangs at that point yeah yeah yeah yeah that's cool that's a pretty
cool guy man was was porno shan there with yeah everybody was there all of us were there was there
everybody was there yeah yeah yeah everybody was there we're all there we all went to the movies
yeah and uh we dressed like gang members and we thought it was fucking really cool
Seeing like gang members to go watch National LAMPoo.
It's so funny.
And it feels so 14-year-old.
I'm just like, yeah, this could be awesome, dude.
There wasn't like a Bloods chapter again in Groveport, Ohio.
There was zero of them.
And there was just there being zero correlation between the film you were watching.
It wasn't like you're dressing up to go watch a gangster movie or a gang.
It was just like.
Funny movie.
Yeah, it was a silly movie.
We're trying to get a laugh.
I guess gangsters need to laugh too.
Yeah, they do.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's true.
This guy goes classic lasagna, if you say so.
The fact that they call this classic lasagna makes me laugh.
In my opinion, I love this guy.
In my opinion, you need ricotta in order to make a classic lasagna.
This doesn't have it.
As one reviewer pointed out, you need a magnifying glass to find it.
So it does, it is there?
It's there.
Okay, but it's not enough.
Magnifying glass.
Like Italian guy who's like the ricotta, you know, he's talking about a stover's lasagna,
but he's just like, this is not, you know, this is not how.
The mozrelle.
The mozrelle on here is not like grandma used to make it, you know?
They're like, why would you buy this then?
Yeah.
This one is not the same product that used to be.
This is no longer the yummy lasagna, I remember it being.
I'm pretty certain they used to have a ground beef type meat.
Now it's sort of a chunked meat bologna, which I'm.
don't think it any sort of actual meat at all.
A chunked meat baloney sounds horrifying.
Yeah. That's awful.
The chunked meat bologna doesn't sound very good to you.
Chunked meat bologna sounds just.
Chunked meat bologna.
So they're not using like just a ground meat or maybe he.
They are.
They are right?
They still are.
I mean,
they're using bad ground.
Like it's not like the best,
it's not like Angus ground beef or whatever.
You know what I mean?
Or anything like that.
It's just whatever's left at the place.
You know, whatever didn't, whatever came out of the extruder that day is what you're getting.
Yeah.
You always see that.
Man, I saw that goddamn movie.
Everybody saw Food Inc.
And like, I'm never eating fast food again.
And years went by, years went by.
And then finally I was like, I don't mind a little pink slime.
It's totally cool.
Yeah.
Kind of like the pink slime.
What's the difference?
I watched a documentary about that documentary supersized me.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, I saw it.
I watched supersized me, and I was like, holy shit, this is like eye opening.
And like, what's this stuff that it's doing to his liver is crazy?
And then he just found out that he was just lying about drinking.
And he was like a severe alcoholic who was drinking so much alcohol the whole time.
And then going to the doctor and they're like,
I've seen this from alcohol before, but never from eating McDonald's.
And then everyone's like, holy shit, that must be crazy.
Never thinking that maybe he's just actually drinking alcohol, which is what was happening.
That is wild.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That documentary changed like the, you know, like I think McDonald's like sued them and stuff.
They got rid of supersizing.
That's right.
They got rid of supersizing over that specifically and stuff.
And it turns out it was just this guy who was like drinking all day long.
and then going and lying to the doctor about it.
Yeah. Yeah.
She goes, which I don't think is any sort of meat at all.
When you find yourself avoiding the meat and sauce and only eating the noodles,
that tells you to stop eating.
Had to throw it away.
I would say avoid this product because it is no longer the meal you may remember.
So the next one we have here, the next one we have here,
and I don't know if you two know about this is the Yellowstone Rustler's favorite honey,
barbecue chicken and mashed potatoes.
I do not.
This is from the television show Yellowstone.
Oh, this is a Yellowstone.
This is a Yellowstone-based product.
It's a Yellowstone pro meal.
I didn't know they did that.
Like it's a frozen meal that they eat in the TV show?
I don't think so.
It's just this.
Oh, it's from the.
It's branched out.
Now, I mean, Betsy, you work in television.
It's a big show.
Any of the shows that you've worked on ever.
No, I'm afraid not.
We never got some frozen meals out of it.
Wait, that's nuts.
Yeah.
I see them at the store and I'm like, what the fuck?
Who's buying?
Like, who is like, oh, I really like that TV show.
I wish I could get a frozen meal from it.
Yeah, I guess like maybe just they're counting on just the name recognition and people
being like so, you know what I mean?
Just like seeing the branding and being like, oh, yeah, I know that.
I'm not, you know.
But yeah, there's always those types of things where you wonder, is there fans.
they're like big enough fans of this thing.
Yes.
That they will eat that.
Like aren't they fans of the TV show?
They just want to watch the TV show.
Maybe won't wear merchandise so people know that they watch the TV show.
But like, you can get a whole lifestyle going now, though.
You know, you can live the Yellowstone lifestyle.
You watch the show.
You watch the spinoff shows.
You eat the food.
You put the shirt on.
You watch Dutton Ranch.
Is that one of the ranch?
Dutton Ranch.
You watch Marshall.
There's a hundred of them.
Yeah, yeah.
I know Marshalls is one guy.
I like know nothing about.
Me neither.
I've never seen a second of any of this.
The first episode is 90 minutes and I've seen 45 minutes of it.
And I was like, you know what?
I don't think I can watch the rest of this.
Is Kevin Cosner in it?
Yeah.
He's good.
I like Kevin Costner.
I don't hate him.
Same birthday as me.
Okay.
Well, that's true.
I guess you got to watch his stuff.
I got Kevin Costner. I got Jonathan Davis from corn and I have the guy that wrote Winnie the Pooh.
Hey, that's a Canadian guy. Those are my birthday friends. That's good. And Jonathan Davis wouldn't even let me interview him.
Now I'm interested. Birthday buddies. I mean, he's a very big celebrity. He's a huge celebrity.
I'm going to look up my birthday. He won't even talk to me for one minute. He hates me. Yellowstone honey,
barbecue chicken and mashed frozen meal. Four point three stars on Walmart.
This person has a theory about it.
They go fake meat, absolutely disgusting.
This meat tastes like it's fake or it's 3D printed or something.
And I grew up on a ranch.
This is the most disgusting TV dinner I never put in my mouth.
Do you really think this is like, oh God, you can't really believe this is going to be ranch
quality food?
Yeah.
And you grew up on a ranch, you know what I mean?
I would think if I grew up on a ranch that I wouldn't eat this kind of process type food,
Maybe they're like forced to do it, but I would be a little more discerning in like the meats that I ate and stuff.
That's what I would think.
I'd buy a different one than the Yellowstone.
In my opinion, when they brand it with Yellowstone, it sets off a hundred alarms in my head that's like they're just, this is cynical.
You know what I mean?
It's going to be worse than a normal one because they're counting on the people buying it because of the name recognition.
So they're not even going to make it good.
It's not yet.
weird thing that like in the world we live that other people aren't thinking that way like nobody
like the people are buying this they're not thinking like this is probably fucking crap man i got some
good um i got some good celebrity birthdays on my birthday emma stone sally field Ethan hawk
Rebecca romayne maria shriver Glenn fray from the eagles he's a bad i think he's a bad guy he's a bad
guy but the rest of them hey those rest of them are squeaky clean i think Emma stone Sally field
Ethan Hawk, Rebecca Romaine.
Although Rebecca.
It's a good one.
He's a Hawk run on Joe Rogan, but that's, you know.
Rebecca Romaine's husband, Jerry O'Connell, did just sign a letter, a pro-Israel letter.
But Rebecca Romaine wasn't on there.
Thank you very much.
Dang, dang.
Pretty good.
Pretty good list of names are.
I love Ethan Hawke.
I think Ethan Hawke is one of the better actors of our time.
I love Ethan Hawkins.
He's no Jonathan Davis, but yeah, he's good.
He's good.
He's no Jay Devil.
I don't know what anyone could make chicken is robbery in time.
tough as this was. If you like hard to chew in a hot sauce, then you might like this. I didn't like it
at all. So now that's a guy that said this is spicy, which it's barbecue sauce. Maybe he put it in hot
sauce. Maybe he put the hot sauce on no. He's saying it. He's a guy. He's a guy that has his and I can
tell you how I know. Barbecue sauce is too off for him. That's rough to have that kind of palette.
That's such a bummer. That's such a bummer. Well, I can tell you because this guy goes, this next review is
two stars spicy small amount overpriced the chicken breasts are tiny and after cooking according to
directions they were tough the sauce is spicy absolutely loaded with pepper i think they're talking about
black pepper is what makes it spicy i believe it's black pepper that's what the vibe was with the other
one where it was like it's so pepper flavored and it's like oh dear
what an awful way to live life i love pepper i love some i love some i love
And I know some people can, but it's like, yeah, I love a good spicy food.
Just a little bit of spice.
Come on.
Yeah, not being able to handle any at all does seem rough.
You're missing out on a lot of good stuff.
He says, I had to pick out as much as I could just to eat it and still made my mouth burn
and my stomach hurt.
There aren't hardly any mashed potatoes either.
The quantity is severely lacking for the price.
We'll not buy again.
I can't believe the Dutton's would do that to him.
Yeah, the Dutton's, if you expect more from Kevin Costner as whatever.
the Yellowstone after the rodeo chicken and dumplings.
Okay, they have a line.
Oh, my, this is so crazy that they have a line.
Chicken and dumplings as well.
Like, this isn't dumplings from the Dutton Ranch.
Yeah.
It doesn't even seem.
The other one at least seems like, you know, this one seems very weird.
He goes, maybe if I was.
Oh, God.
Okay.
He goes, maybe if I was out on a trail starving, but I'd probably put a rabbit on a
dick and eat that.
Pretty hard.
Just grab a rabbit and throw him on a stick and just grab a rabbit and throw him on a stick and
go out of a cat.
Rabbits are pretty hard to hunt, I think.
You know what I mean?
While he's eating a fucking yellowstone frozen dinner.
Yeah.
So you go on the trail a lot?
No way.
He just watches yellow.
I haven't seen an ounce of yellow stone, but they probably go on a trail.
Oh, you know.
on trails.
They're doing all kinds of cattle.
Yeah,
they're on horses all the time riding through fucking game trails.
The episode I saw was at the,
I only saw the beginning of it, but some horses or some cows were eating on some
land that they didn't own or something like that.
So Kevin Costner had to fly in a helicopter and threaten somebody.
That reminds me.
Because he's like a hardcore gangster type guy.
He'll, like, kill people.
He'll get people killed and stuff like that.
But he does it in cowboy.
He's a cowboy.
That's badass.
That reminds me that neighbors.
What's that neighbor's show?
Oh my God.
Remember the show where they have that there was those guys who had the cows or whatever.
Yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
Remember that guy was like going over threatening them for coming through their fucking
area and coming up on horseback?
That's what that reminds me.
He goes,
I gave my dog a couple of bites.
She really liked it.
Unfortunately for her,
I don't let her eat such garbage.
So he took it.
He gave his dog a few bites there.
I think he took it away.
think he's making a joke i think he's like this is part of a stand-up comedy thing i've i watched
kill tony bucket pulls and stuff so i know this kind of stand-up comedy and i think this is what this
is where he's like i give it to my dog that's kind of the set up and i'll definitely give it to my
mother-in-law yeah that's the cool i don't i do have to say that it isn't interesting if it is a joke
to say i gave my dog a couple bites and she really liked it unfortunately for her i don't let her
eat such garbage. So the joke is that he gave his dog two bites and then took it away from.
Yeah, but that's the whole thing. He's setting the joke up by saying like, hey, at least my dog liked it.
Like it's dog food. But then he's hitting the punchline of saying, of course, I won't even let her eat
that kind of crap. The joke isn't over yet. Good. Well, yeah, he's got a whole minute.
You get a whole minute on Kill Tony. He's only done like 50 seconds. This is terrible. The last time I shop using my phone,
my eyes aren't as good as they were.
I fished the box out.
What did you think you saw that you were?
This is a, this is, we're seeing a lot of elderly posting on this episode, more than usual.
Yeah, it's a lot of elderly guys.
It's definitely like that's who's eating frozen dinners now.
Which genuinely is very sad about the state of the economy in the United States.
I think they like it too.
I mean, yes, the economy's bad.
but I also think that people that have plenty of money to eat regular food also are just eating frozen meals.
Because it reminds them of their childhood and stuff like that of the better times when they, yeah, yeah.
And it's easy.
It's easy to make.
If you're not like rich enough that you have a chef, you know what I mean?
If you're just like regular even rich, then you have to make the food.
And if you're older, then it's like, yeah, it's easy.
You got to work.
Making chicken and dumplings after the road.
Yeah.
I'll make them sometimes.
Yeah. You will. Brian will. We can't. I'll bet chicken and double. I love chicken and dumplings. Brian will. I have made homemade dumplings and stuff. He's just like, yeah, you, hey, have, yeah, but the thing is you have to bask the, you know, like he's got these words we've never heard of. You got to bask the dumpling. Yeah, you got to roast the chicken first. That's all right. And then you got to take all the bones and put it in a thing for the broth. For the broth. Yeah. I've done the whole thing. I like it. It's a good way to have you made dumplings. Have you made homemade dumplings before? Well, yeah.
the American style dumplings that are just like a fucking dough you drop it in it's closer to
matza really I see he goes I don't steamed you're not are you're but you're steaming them no that's
it's different it's a different thing in America we have chicken and dumplings it's like a southern
meal or like an Ohio meal thing I see like that people eat here I make it really good maybe one
day when the president changes and something you can fly out here and I'll make you some chicken
And buddy, I can't wait to come.
I would love to come out there and have you cook me a number of meals.
I'll sit at a big table and you can cook me a number of courses.
Yeah, exactly.
A breakfast, a lunch, a dinner.
And I will sort of like, I will give a grade out of 10 on each of them for you.
I'll fly in some good friends and it'll be like a dinner for smug situation.
Hey.
You're trying to get me.
I got you.
You don't get me.
I get you.
I also had a couple.
bites, which is why she got to taste. This is terrible. Last time I said, oh, he goes, he goes,
I read the ingredients. It was a while before I got through the chemicals to the food. It's not even
hard to make chicken and noodles, but they made it a chemistry experiment. Unless your DeLorean is out
of fuel, I'd leave this box of chemicals on the shelf. I don't understand that part, unless you can go
back in time, well, I think maybe you could buy chicken and dumplings. I think maybe he's just saying
that you use the chemicals to help your Deloria, like you use it as part to make a
flux capacitor or something.
I'm not, it is confusing.
It is a confusing.
That's a very confusing one where it is like,
you can't say Dorian.
Yeah, I think it's a guy that wanted to say Delorian.
Like I think that was the whole thing.
He just watched it.
You just saw the movie or whatever.
Another thing.
Have you ever shown up to a hospital during dinner time?
This has that institutional smell.
So I gagged halfway through when I lifted the film.
I paid over six.
dollars so I added a little fresh cheese hoping it would make it more appealing it did not
I made my pizza a lot better last night adding that well not fresh not fresh cheese I guess
it was it was pizza mozzarella in a bag so this is a Marie calendar savory Swedish meatballs bowl
okay that's the other big one right Marie calendar Stoufers is like the big one I wanted to get a
early calendars I wanted to get a Michelinus which is the lowest level but was my wife's like
She ate Michelinas for lunch for like years.
That's what I used to have.
I used to have a, and again, I would doctor it up a little bit.
So I would have like the fetichini Alfredo.
It was horrible.
She took it to work so she couldn't really like doctor it up either.
Yeah, I would just put real chicken in that.
You know what I mean?
Like I would have, I would actually make chicken and put it into the like Alfredo or whatever or prawns.
I would make prawns and in garlic and put it in there.
But I, it was, it would always like.
It would get ice in there, kind of, so it would get all watery.
And it was, it was really horrible.
And yeah, it would be hard because the outside edges of it would get really hot.
And the middle part would, like you were mentioning earlier, it would be too cold and you'd have to keep reheating it.
It was, but I do definitely remember having those.
And the penny as well, the penny alfredo I would have, yeah.
She also liked, she did at times, like every time we went grocery shopping, we would get her one Amy's, which is a little more expensive.
Yes.
And is that the same same one that makes the soups?
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because they have they are pretty good.
The soups I have like the lentil soup.
I've had a couple of like frozen burritos from Amy's and they're pretty good.
Amy's frozen burritos are considered.
They're really expensive in Canada comparatively like the other ones are like 250 and they're like $7.99 or something.
And it's like, these ones are fancier to where I'm like I guess I'm being a little bit fancier than $0.59 cent, Tina's.
Yeah, totally.
They are good.
I just,
I get a little,
you know,
a little sour cream
and some hot sauce
and dip them in there.
And those are pretty,
I might have,
I might have to get some next time
because they still go out
to the grocery store.
I haven't had a frozen burrito in so long.
And now I'm like,
okay,
I got to and get all the fun topics.
Ben and I used to have like a weird thing
where we would have dinner
and we would make pizza rolls,
uh,
chicken nuggets,
French fries,
like all this stuff.
And we put it,
we had this.
like serving thing that like had like different size plates it would be like one plate and then another
plate and then another plate and then sauce stuff and we would put them all on there organized we would sit
there and eat it and fucking dipping your fucking pizza rolls and nacho cheese was the best yeah oh yeah
I mean listen you know me when I would when I used to drink alcohol um before I went totally straight
edge which I am right now shout out to all my straight edge folks out there I know people love when I
talk about it. I would I would dip the 7-11 taikitos in the 7-11 nacho cheese. And it was,
that's how I learned in high school. Listen, I'm going to say this and it's going to add credence
to whatever you people think about me or whatever. But back when I was in high school,
we would get nachos and cheese. And then I would always order nachos and cheese. And Aaron used to
order nachos and cheese too. We would get nachos and cheese. And everyone, when it was pizza time,
Yeah, he would get pizza, but he would be like, can I get an order of nacho cheese?
I'm going to dip my pizza into nacho cheese.
And I was like, that's the best idea I've ever heard.
So I started doing that.
And then like we just started like really rolling with the nacho cheese thing.
It was it was a big deal.
So I dip a lot of stuff in nacho cheese.
That's very, I just think it's, I just think it's absolutely beautiful.
We did it at the same time.
I think it's absolutely beautiful that you could take some of the knowledge and wisdom that Don Aaron had and use it in your
life. I think that's fantastic.
Because Betsy, they didn't have always such a good relationship.
Like Don Aaron would sometimes beat the crap out of him.
He put him in the hospital.
He wasn't Don Aaron.
He was known as Don Aaron.
He didn't put me into hospital.
Don Aaron, do you have any natural cheese recipes for me?
He didn't put me into hospital.
That rumor is way out of lot.
What happened in that situation?
What happened?
I ran into his knee.
We were playing.
Yes, we were playing American gladiators.
I ran into his knee.
It wasn't an on purpose.
purpose thing. He didn't put me in the hospital. I put me in the hospital. He ran into the knee,
like in the way, like, if you ever watch UFC, when the guy will be kind of like, you know,
run into the other guy's knee or whatever. Yeah, yeah, that sort of situation. This guy goes,
for those who can't get enough salt, if you love salt, need more salt, then please buy this very,
very salty entree. Which, which, what is this? This is the Swedish, uh, this is the Swedish.
Need ball. Okay. Yeah, this, now this one's interesting. I think you guys are going to really like
this one. This is from Jenny. She says, one star, not authentically Swedish. I live in
SoCal and frequented a Marie Callender's restaurant. I never had Swedish meatballs there.
Marie Callender's, sorry. They used to have restaurants. They used to have restaurants.
They used to have served. I think there's still a couple. Or they would make fresh food. Yeah, they
made fresh food, but this is the food they served. Gotcha. So the restaurants came first. Yeah.
And then reviewed Marie Callender's. Yeah. Okay. For sure.
And they go, I never had Swedish meatballs there, but I lived in Stockholm, Sweden.
And I ate many authentic Swedish meatballs.
These frozen ones resemble the real ones, but the taste was not the same.
The sauce was close, but it should not be so thick and plentiful.
So it's not authentic enough for somebody who lived in Stockholm, Sweden.
And also one of a funny move to be like, I lived in Stockholm, I'm going to go for these frozen Swedish meatballs.
where it's like, you'll figure out how to make them on your own or go to IKEA.
IKEA's got great ones.
IKEA and they aren't even expensive at all, but that is disappointing to hear that
Marie Callenders is not doing authentic.
This guy I love, he goes, I expect it a lot more from a legacy brand like Marie
Cavendres.
This is a legacy brand.
There is a real like through line of people who are like, they're, they expect.
better quality of it.
They seem to like have this misunderstanding
about it. I think most people
and probably if Brian pulled up
most reviews you'd see most people have an
understanding of the quality that they're getting
into. But these people
were reading, they seem to have this fundamental
misunderstanding about how good this is
going to be and they expect it to be good
which is not ever going to be the case.
It is never going to be good. It just
has to be, it's very cheap
and it has to be good enough that you can eat
that's the whole that's all you need well i wanted to i wanted to get this and this is this is probably
the last thing we're going to do but this is gordon ramsi has frozen meals i've been watching
some of his stuff i've been watching some of his kitchen nightmares frozen meals are not popular
i love him i love kitchen nightmares i do love kitchen nightmares there was one time where he like
he was like at this restaurant i'll be honest with he he's a little bit mean sometimes i found but
he was at this restaurant and they had these things up on the wall.
They were like plates.
And then this food was like stuck on his plate.
And then he like went and like took the plate down and replaced it with his plate of food that had the food still on it.
He just absolutely laid these people up.
But Brian, it does go.
You know me.
I love the comment.
YouTube comments from big fans of things like that.
There's so many comments where it's like, what I really love about Gordon is that he's so respectful to those staff.
members.
He's calling people like donkeys and shit.
No, but that's, but Benzie, that's the owners and the chefs, whereas like he's always
so respectful and he's such a man of the people when it comes to dealing with the service
staff and like the, you know, the sous chef or the dishwasher and stuff.
That's what I really respect about Gordon is that he's not mean to those people.
He saves it for like the owner and stuff.
Yeah.
I love, I love people who are, they're just big fans of a person and they love it.
And so they're always like, this guy is a good guy, right?
Like, you know, they're like, I couldn't be a huge fan of a guy who's actually like an evil, horrible, narcissistic dude or whatever.
Like, this guy is actually a good guy that I like.
I really recommend Hotel Hell as well where Gordon Ramsey goes to hotels.
Oh, I've been watching Hotel Hell as well.
I've been watching some of those are some really, really good ones as well.
he's he was he was throwing stuff up at the ceiling of this place because it had all this
like dust up there and he was throwing things up there to knock all the dust down
this is a review for the Gordon Ramsey chicken pot pie it has three stars this is another
situation by the way where even though it's Gordon Ramsey this is a red flag for me in the
same way that the Dutton Ranch thing or the Yellowstone thing is that like we're putting a
name on this that is well known in order to
get you to buy it. So I actually believe
it will be worse. And the idea that
Gordon Ramsey is like, well,
he's a Michelin star chef. He would
never put his name behind something
that's bad. That is complete
if you watch anything that he does. He hosts the show
called Hotel Hell. He will do
anything for money. Anything. He has
this empire of stuff. He is
like the exact type of guy who
would put his name on something that is absolutely
shit. This is one star. I have been
chef ramses frozen meals for a while now have even recommended them to others i bought this shepherd's
pie yesterday i microwaved it at work today the whole office smelled horrific oh no the food had an
awful rotten smell this is this it's again this is another review where it's like really rough
where it's like i didn't just eat bad food i was humiliated by your food this is like this is this made
multiple people's days
because of your meal.
I'm I'm like embarrassed to go into work.
Like I feel like
I feel like Brian must have felt
after the guy he recommended for a job
got jacking off at his workspace.
Really?
Brian had to come into work the next day.
I mean it wasn't anything to me.
I wasn't jacking off the porno at work.
I was being normal at work.
Brian recommended him direct.
for the job. You should hire this guy and then within a few weeks of working there,
he was fired for jacking off at work. Oh my God. Did he, um, did he ever say anything to you?
Brian was, Brian was friends with him afterwards. I wasn't friends with him even before.
He was friends afterwards. He was a boyfriend. He was a boyfriend of a friend of my wife's.
Yeah. Oh. So you would see him around afterwards. That's a good question though, Betsy. I don't
think we ever maybe we did but like what what did he say to you did you ever ask him we never talked
about it at all he mostly did like good fellows stuff like he did a lot of impressions and stuff like
he did yeah like funny like jacking off how like i'm here to jack you you know yeah yeah
oh i'm jacking off over here with you jacking to me come on oh that's so wild brian yeah it
really is the whole office smelled horrific the food had an
awful rotten smell. I tried to taste it. I love that. Yeah. People are running out of the office,
holding their nose. And he's just like, let's see if it's maybe there's something wrong with my nose.
He goes, I try to taste it. And it tasted just as bad as it smelled straight to the trash. It went and
requested a refund. Now, no idea why this particular one went so bad. But it was the worst thing I've
tasted possibly ever. Hopefully this was a random fluke because they usually these meals are great.
So he's going to give him another chance. He's going again. He's getting the pot pie again for sure.
Well, you've got to know. That's the only way to know, right? You don't know if it was an off one until
you get another one and to taste that one. And then if that one's bad as well, then you know,
this is a bad product. But yeah, I believe that if it's a restaurant like they just opened and
you had a bad experience. It's like, yeah, you can probably go back a little.
later after they get their legs under them or whatever, but not with a frozen meal.
It's just like if it's bad, it's bad.
One strike and you're out with me.
This guy gave the slow roasted beef and a red wine sauce.
He goes, when you see this picture, run, run, run.
We've been looking for a nice beef product.
We figured with Chef Ramsey's name and picture on the box, it had to be awesome.
Honey, things aren't going so well between us.
I think what would help us out is if we found a nice beef product.
We're on the market for a nice beef product.
Where it's like you could go to your grocery store and get like one from the deli section.
You know.
There's beef.
There's beef.
You could get.
I know it would be more.
In Canada.
It would be good.
Yes, it would be good.
And if you are in the market for a beef product, I would go with beef that is not in a frozen dinner.
I would say.
But yeah, I've been completely priced out of beef personally.
Like genuinely priced out of beef.
It is pretty much.
there and it is like, it seems like a Joe.
You look at the price on like a steak and it's like, it seems like they must be kidding
about it.
It's like this is more than it costs to go get a fully cooked steak at a restaurant.
Yeah.
It's exactly.
Because the red wine sauce must have been made from the worst wine in a store.
The meat had to be from floor sweepings.
Oh my God.
This meat is so hard to chew and no flavor.
He's way, is he doing it?
He might be doing this review as he's eating it.
I think while he's, yeah.
Oh.
my god like so it's a stream of content and then he goes we figured a beaver must have
returned this to the story as being unacceptable all that chef ramsay never tasted this
garbage i don't why you come to beavers so it would yeah teeth ah ah you know what he couldn't
even chew the beaver couldn't even chew through it it it wasn't well famously have i used to
man i just reminded me of the my old beaver friend that i miss you in my old house i used to live at
we lived on the river and there was a beaver there that I'd see sometimes and it was a
key I like beaver too.
Oh, gosh.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
I was waiting for that.
Yeah.
We got to get to the beaver of you.
Come on.
He's always,
he's always waiting for that.
That's his favorite thing to do.
But interestingly enough, though, I don't know that he is such a beaver guy.
You know, I let me tell you a little story about Brian when he was younger.
just because what Brian you don't want me it's not even a big story or anything it's just
it I have to it's like a contract thing I have to mention when anything like this comes up
that Brian did used to suck on titties for three hours when he was younger and he would
there was Frenching he would go nowhere near the beaver he would stay right away from the
beaver he was terrified of it as if it were real yeah that's the nicest response that we've
gone to that by the way he's nice about it that's the nicest one to say all
Aw, that's kind of, that's kind of sweet.
Yeah.
Hey.
Just hit him a fully grown, fully grown person,
just suckling on the food for three hours like an instant.
No, no, no, I'm good, I'm good.
Yeah.
Yeah, he would, well, again, we've, I've mentioned this genuinely so often that it makes
some people so angry how many times I've mentioned it.
But he would pretend like he was about to go down.
And then he would just come straight back up like that.
That's the embarrassing part.
So funny.
Yeah, you would come right back up to the other nipple.
Like, you'd do the one nipple that he'd come down.
Like, here we go, belly button, straight back up to the other one.
This is from John, one star, very disappointed in this.
Definitely not five-star quality food.
I'd love to blindfold chef Ramsey and feed this to him.
And here what his comments are about it.
The meat was disgusting.
Out of all the ones we tried with his name on it, we liked was the mac and cheese.
Save your money and buy something else.
And don't think any of these others are good.
as they are not.
And this guy...
That's a good...
That's like the idea we had before.
Make these people taste their fucking food
that they're serving out to people.
That would be good.
I would love to watch Gordon Ramsey
have to eat this shit.
Yeah.
Your name is on it, sir.
It's actually like if you know those like reckless Ben?
Yeah.
That YouTuber who like did the whole...
He does these exposés.
Somebody like that.
Get Gordon Ramsey, trick them into a thing where you like serve him food and it turns out it's his food.
And then you're like, this is the idea for at least a 900,000 view video on YouTube.
This is a good idea for sure.
And finally, this is a one-star review.
What happened to this delicious meal?
I've been buying this for months.
It was one of my favorite frozen meals.
I would buy two.
Mix some green peas in and I just loved it.
Now it seems like a month ago they changed the meat, which used to be 10.
tender brisket to what seems like a tough round steak.
I couldn't eat one of the pieces of meat.
I checked the latest reviews here and discovered all the latest reviewers agree with me.
No longer tender brisket.
And the meat is so hard you can't chew it.
I really hope they go back to the original beef.
Until then, no way am I purchasing this.
Really rotten to pull this on the meals fans.
If you're upset, please join me and sending feedback to Walmart.
It's the only way they'll get back to the way it used to be.
So we've got some politics.
We're going to go to Walmart.
Well, hey, power to the people.
You know what I mean?
Like this type of can't honestly strength and numbers.
I appreciate this.
Let's get that tender brisket back.
Really?
They were using tender brisket for it?
No.
No.
I mean, maybe slightly better meat though, perhaps.
I mean, it does kind of, again, because of the price of meat, how much it's gone up,
that you would assume that that's hitting those types of things as well.
So maybe they would change the quality of the meat and have worse shit in there possibly.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm sure.
I mean, I'm sure.
sure they changed it but I just don't think it was like such a quality drop you know what I mean
like I don't think it was some huge quality drop to to just the worst inedible food like it went
from bad to like slightly worse probably yeah I think that's probably but he liked it before he
liked it and that's what that does suck you should give another shot when you find a thing that you
like that's cheap like that and you actually like it and you're like oh man and then all of a sudden
boom it becomes shitty that does it's six bucks though
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
In this economy, it's like, oh, I found a fucking $6 meal that I can actually eat in stomach
and it's good and I like it.
And now all of a sudden it sucks.
Like if they change my frozen pizza or whatever that I'll have sometimes, that would fucking kill me, man.
I would be devastated.
I'd be dead.
What kind of frozen?
We'll talk afterwards.
We don't do plugs on here for products, but we'll talk about what type of frozen pizzas.
Yeah, yeah.
Kind of any frozen pizza on down.
we'll let Brian we'll let Brian leave the call first so he doesn't turn his nose up at like he did
I gotta go make a pizza dough.
I got to go make a pizza dough that I'm going to eat in six days after it.
Two or three.
Too long.
Yeah, too long.
I want pizza now.
Well, I can do you want in an hour.
I got a one hour.
You got a one hour recipe.
Like a one hour 90 minute.
Yeah, pizza dough depending on how long.
Are you going to make, well, you make it square?
like Columbus style or whatever?
Yeah, we cut it in squares.
A lot of people commented that
it's Chicago too.
You're wrong about that being Columbus style,
but then other people defended you and said,
no, they have a unique style in Columbus.
They don't know.
It's different.
I mean, people that haven't been here don't know.
It's a different thing.
It really is.
No bullshit.
I know people always think I'm full of shit.
Whatever.
I don't give a fuck.
Betsy, do you have anything you'd like to plug?
Betsy, yeah.
Thanks so much for coming on.
Do you have anything you would like to plug?
I have two podcasts as well.
One is called a funny feeling where me and my friend Marcy,
we interview people about scary and paranormal experiences they've had.
We did paranormal guys, so we have a little bit of, yeah.
Y'all should come on because that would be really fun.
Oh, I would love to.
I've had some paranormal experiences too.
I do a podcast with a damn alien.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
We'll have you on.
we'll have you on
nothing
and then another one called
We Love Trash with me and Mano Agapion
where we talk about all things trashy
movies, food
I got your back on that
Hey the time you need a trashy guy
Betsy I got a guest for you
You need a white trash
You need a guy that's white trash
He's kind of known for those kind of stories
Yeah
Yeah well thank you so as they said before
I've listened to you
I mean, you're one of the great podcasters.
I've listened to so many things where you made me laugh so much.
And we were so excited to have you on.
So thank you so much for coming on.
This was so fun.
It made me just want to kind of try some of these crappy meals.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
I'm promising you.
These people are too.
I love.
But I am curious.
Yeah, yeah.
There is a curiosity of it.
I'm like, well, how about what does it?
What does it actually taste like?
Yeah.
What does that thing actually taste like?
It might be.
All right.
We'll see you all next week.
Goodbye.
Bye.
