A lot just happened that we have to dive into. Zach, I think you should always open up with what's up, sluts. What's up, sluts? As Rooks would say, it might be a little problematic, but we can roll with it. We'll see. Sluts is communal. Everyone can be a slut. Men, women, maybe not children.

Uh-oh. Yeah, so maybe not everybody problematic it gets problematic pretty quick like everyone anyone who listens to this podcast can be a slut we have a three-month-year-old who listens to this podcast you know it's like that's what that's what people who listen are called like not the it's wednesday dude followers it's just not anything like creative or like alliterative just sluts doesn't mean anything i want to hear about this uh this slutty sloppy joe pizza you're eating though cory describe it to me well let me ask when's the last time you got how often you guys eat sloppy joes like that's a big mom meal it's a big come home when your mom's got

sloppy joes on the stove it's not it's not a make for yourself meal i feel like like if you're like me solo dolo living alone yeah you're not you're not you're not what is it man witching it every night isn't that what the brand yeah if i if i ever send you brands if i ever send you a picture of me just cooking up a fat pan of sloppy joes feel free to send someone to my house to put me in a mental institution so uh instead of icing you at the holiday party we're gonna we're gonna sloppy joe pizza you oh no but it's gonna be cold man which is gonna be a big thing to be like you just got slopped my name's not even joe there's a full sloppy joe sandwich you have to eat the entire thing you get on your knee oh my god no so i mean it's so i'll say this so i got it for lunch because i was out running errands and one of the guys i work with was like you got to go try this

they make a bunch of this pizza place make a bunch of specialty pizzas one of the guys i worked with was like you got to go try this they make a bunch of this pizza place make a bunch of specialty pizzas one of them was sloppy joe so like not having sloppy joe at least in the last like five years i feel like uh amazing first half of the pizza amazing um when you have it for lunch though and then you're on to dinner with it it's a lot of sloppy joe intake for one day and i wish i pasted out i i really do but you know here we are and your body wish you pasted out too dude i've done much worse to this body than eat sloppy joe pizza all right i i was gonna say that makes me feel better that you got it from a restaurant. I thought you opened up like a cheese DiGiorno and then dumped a can of manwich on it and then put it in the oven. And if you did that, I would, I'd be very concerned. So I'm happy to

hear that it was actually from a restaurant that decided to put this on the menu and not just a creation in your kitchen. If I did that, I wouldn't be on this podcast right now i'd be comatose i would be not surprised though with all your food choices though i'll rude uh i will say zach this is the only place i've seen this pizza place has deep dish and so oh i think i'm gonna give that a shot yeah do they have deep dish sloppy i hope not for the health benefits of all of pittsburgh i'm gonna say now are sloppy joe's the only sandwich that just refused to have texture in them it's the same texture through it's just mush into mush it's a meat sauce it's like what it is no i know but you're basically like when you think about your base you're just putting

bolognese on a bun is basically all it is. There's never any toppings. Which I don't hate. The bun's never toasted. True, which I don't hate. It's just interesting because I feel like texture is such a big talking point in the sandwich food community that they are just like, nah, Sloppy Joe's are like, JK, you can eat this without any teeth in your mouth. You can just gum it down. Do you think people negatively view Sloppy Joe's because of their name or because of the food item itself?

I feel like I hear Sloppy Joe in, I don't think, high-end meal. I mean, it has sloppy in the name. It's not like you can eat that at a nice restaurant with a fork. That's coming all over your shirt. You could do deconstructed. Then that's just chili. I'm surprised. Honestly,

in today's climate, I'm surprised the name sloppy Joe hasn't been canceled. Like why? Like where, where are my sloppy Jane's at? Or my sloppy Judy's? Oh, cause I thought you were saying that's like offensive,

which is called sloppy. No, I think what you, I think goes to Corey's point. Like no one cares enough about sloppy joes to even cancel them so i think that they're just not in the in our culture lexicon stratosphere area people are not respecting the sloppy joe even better too man which what about woman which exactly they already have women witches oh no i don't like this is going say what the witch trials women are witches okay all right

well that's a little bit different slightly i want to go back i want to go back to what we were calling our viewers instead of sluts sloppy joes and sloppy jades it's easy it's right there that's really good i kind of like that. I really like it. And you know what? It's three to one, and I don't care what Rook says. I think he would be on board, to be honest. I just think we start doing it every episode, and whether he wants it to stick, it's going to happen. He's going to slip up and call them that eventually,

if we just can kind of passive-ag the name into the into our i want to aggressively aggressively bully the names i'm not passively doing anything what do you serve with a sloppy joe do you just go along with the texture thing and just serve it with mashed potatoes and mush peas and just say we're gonna have a zero textured meal side of food stamps side of sadness i don't know side of like coleslaw whatever game is on tv because i figure that's what you're doing that's a big uh tv dinner type of dinner i feel like it's a kool-aid drink kind of parent that screams milk to me it does scream it screams milk to me milk's expensive kool-aid's cheaper we're going to milk so expensive because you keep buying all the milk brian stop buying all the milk, Brian.

If you stop buying all the milk, we could have some supply for the rest of us. You're the Midwestern milk man, man. You got to supply everything. I am. I buy the fancy milk, though. Yeah. Okay. Where do you get these jugs of milk, by the way? We haven't discussed this, and I need to know.

Where are you getting these jugs, these 1,800 jugs of milk from? They're glass. I get it from oberweiss so it's a wisconsin-based uh company it's cory we went there when you came to visit they had to sell ice cream also it's where we played chess and got the big ice cream shakes the first time you visited chicago for the northwestern ice cream pen state game remember we got like mint chocolate chip shakes and stuff like that and played chess yeah yeah okay Yeah. Okay. I got it. Got it. So anyway, so they sell, they used to have, I don't know if they ended doing more with COVID, but they still adopt the milk man slash milk women philosophy and you can get your milk delivered to you. But I just walked to Mariano's and pick them up.

They sell them in glass bottles. They're very nice. They expire way quicker than regular milk because I'm assuming it's fresher and doesn't have as much preservative. The only issue is you have to pay a deposit for the glass bottle it's like two dollars and fifty cents and i have about five of them just sitting in my house right now because i've yet to bring them back to mariano's to get my money back so i'm basically just stockpiling but it's good it's way better than plastic carton milk is it like whole milk or do they have options they have

options i'm a two percent boy but they also have whole, which I might dip into. I think 2% is the best cereal milk, which is why I go for 2%. Whole milk is the best drinking milk, and skim milk is just trash. Where's half and half sit on that list? Half and half's not on there, but condensed milk is. If I want a double sweet, I just dump condensed milk into my bowl of fruit and pebbles. Have you actually? No, I haven't.

Okay, dude. I wasn't going to be surprised. I was just going to be very disappointed. Yeah. That stuff is thick. Oh, yeah. Three C's. That's that fudgy milk.

So that's where I get my milk. Just some Mariano's. How many times has the milkman uh made your wife cheat on you made with him or just no with the milk jug with the milk jug uh who i don't know i mean i feel like the milkman's like a sneaky he is like that sneaky like drive a wedge into your relationship type of occupation though right like it goes milk man every single milk man is yeah milk man um subway worker and um probably like pest or like a pest control person because they can squash the bugs i feel like those are the top three will make your wife cheat on you occupations or husband

i don't know yeah so you got to be on the lookout what day do you have to be on the lookout though what day do they show up to your house to deliver your milk uh i schedule them for wednesday nights at midnight so i can uh have something to look up to because that's when the milk stays the coldest it gets out of the truck doesn't get any warmer from the outside air and then i just pick it up right there on what day it is wednesday my dudes welcome back sloppy joes and sloppy janes episode 40 if it's wednesday my dudes we got a good one for you rooks is out talking to a girl surprisingly we'll heckle him about

that next week uh but we got cory what's up sluts it's so aggressive we got zach i'm not gonna lie i i totally forgot we were transitioning to the it's Wednesday and i just picked Wednesday i just picked Wednesday out of a hat so i am very glad it worked out i totally knew you did because i was like looking at cory and he was setting it up and we ratted back to it it's been a couple weeks so thanks for having me back yeah and I'm Brian question for the panel how was your Diwali this week

I spent it with you so it was good virtually with you I Diwali'd my bollies off alright every year traditional I de-walled my ballies off. All right. Every year. That's what the traditional,

how they used to do it back in the day. I like it. Taking it back a little bit. We were talking about sloppy Joe pizza. So I want to ask you, what's a weird food you would make as a kid or now that no one actually does like a weird food combination. Cause I have one that you're going absolutely hate but i loved i think cory knows it because that you would make or that like your parents would make and now you're like remembering it's

kind of weird either either anything so the first one that came to mind for me because i haven't had this since i was in like i don't know elementary, elementary school or something. It's like nothing special. I don't think it's weird on its own, but we put ketchup on it. It's just like noodles and then like it's like buttered noodles and like ground beef. And that sounds. And then I just remember putting ketchup on it. And like, like in hindsight, now looking at it, that's sloppier than Sloppy Joe's and Sloppy Jane's. Yeah.

I think you just saw them using like red sauce. you're like, oh, it's ketchup, right? And you just put ketchup on it. I'm pretty sure my dad did it. I'm pretty sure this is a Jeffism. And, like, it makes me, you know, reevaluate how I think he's, you know, his decision-making skills in life. But it's weird because this is the first time I've thought about it since. You asked that, and that's the first time. That vividly weird.

I have two. I'll give you a less weird one that Rooks participated in and actually created. So I'll give it because he's not here this week. We would always have pasta every Friday or whatever, and he came over for dinner once, and he didn't red sauce so he's always doing butter and salt and then he got bored of that and we told a story of how my dad made meatballs but didn't have breadcrumbs so he used cereal instead but he used cinnamon toast crunch so it was like odd but then rook's like that sounds great so he put cinnamon toast crunch on his pasta and he did that like a couple dinners in a row.

Was it good? The noodles were plain. So it's not like it was odd. It was just a weird texture. Because it's like mushy. But then there's crunchy Cinnamon Toast Crunch in the middle of it. Yeah, I don't think I'm going to that in my uh in my none of these you should no but yeah so i had to throw rooks into the bus on that one so we want cinnamon toast or cinnamon

toast crunch whatever with noodles on top wait with noodles on top yeah yeah wait wait cinnamon crunch base and then put noodles on top it it? It's like a pie with noodles. Or mixed. I mean, it's mixed together at the end. I don't think the order matters. Is there a cereal that you think you would put in there that would make it less weird? Is there a cheese-based cereal? I don't think so. I could see you doing like cornflakes or something like that.

Because it's just like no flavor. Yeah. Yeah. Rice krispies. Just a little crunch on it. They just start snap crackling, popping. Why is my spaghetti fizzy? Who put pop rocks in my spaghetti?

Zach? Do you my spaghetti? Zach? Do you have any? I was trying to think. The only thing I can really think of, well, two things. I think we talked about this before. They both involve boiling. One was boiling hot dogs, but in the morning, my mom would boil them, and then I'd have them for lunch.

I'm pretty sure we've talked about this before. So I'd have to boil them, them in foil pack me a bun and yeah i've done that before the other one which i being from the midwest we don't really have good barbecue or anything like that and so my mom would just boil ribs and then bake them and i and then just put barbecue sauce on them and i'm just like oh these are how ribs are supposed to taste and then finally i had what actual ribs are supposed to taste like like these are way better like i'm like mom what were you doing to me and sure enough she she was following like a cookbook i think that's how her parents cooked them in a cookbook it literally said boil the ribs and then bake them and they

just turned out that you pulled them out of the water and they were gray all like the fat had congealed on top of the water it was it was disgusting i mean i still ate them though they were delicious but um yeah that's the one thing that i don't think i'll ever make for myself no thank you we need to have a dinner and we all just make all four of these meals and we just have to sit around and eat all of a horrible dinner potluck but it had to be things you've actually eaten my last one for me that i actually ate going back to cory's ketchup thing uh i used to love cottage cheese when i was a kid like a like way too much and so i asked my mom to make me a cottage cheese sandwich but of course you have to have condiments so we put ketchup on it as well so So it was just bread, cottage cheese, ketchup, bread.

You just made a white sloppy joe. No, but if you mix it together, it's back to red. That's true. That's fair. I forgot the ketchup. Just a dairy-based sloppy joe. What grade was this? Like first grade. 14th. Oh, wow.

It just seems weird enough that I could see a middle schooler, like trying to figure out something to eat and being like, OK, this looks like I have these things. I'm going to make this. So, no, it was probably I brought it to school. I don't know how I wasn't bullied like hell for that, because that's so great. Maybe you suppressed it and you actually were. Might have been. I don't know. I read a lot of books.

I was a little nerdy. But yeah. So, sorry, sidetracked. Back to regularly scheduled programming. Corey. Brian. How was your week? My week was good.

So Wednesday, I can't remember. I think last week I mentioned that the week before, Claire and I couldn't go out for our, uh, two year like dinner. So we went out Wednesday, had a freaking awesome meal. Great food. Uh, Thursday drove to Philly, uh, saw the Eternals. Good movie.

I liked it. It got like a lot of spoilers. It got a lot of, yeah, I won't spoil anything. Got a lot of... Yeah, I won't spoil anything. It got a lot of negative reviews. I think it was like 60-something on Rotten Tomatoes or something like that. The only things that I was a little eh about, could have been better. There were some cheesy pickup lines in there, more so than superhero movies. I don't know.

Made me feel some type of way a little bit. But overall, very good i still liked it honestly like probably don't trust my reviews though because they could put out crap marvel movies and like as long as they're putting stuff out i'm gonna i'm gonna watch them um yeah so that was good that was a good way to like it's kind of like a late night got in i think we got in at like 1 30 like i showed up to philly to my sisters and i just like went straight to the movies so it was a long day uh you showed up at 1 30 no no showed up at 9 movie went to 1 30 so i didn't get into like settled i was like who's showing the movie

at 1 30 gotcha uh but yeah uh worked friday from home went out downtown Philly, have like a nice meal, just keep it a little low key because Saturday, once a year, every year, my sister and I go to a play in New York City as her birthday gift. Her birthday is in June, by the way, so nowhere near. But we pick November because I think New York City in the summer is hot, hot garbage. So we go in November when it's a little bit more bearable um so we went in uh we saw jagged little pill it's like the way that you describe it is like mama mia like you know how they created mama mia with all the abba songs they did yeah that but with uh alanis morris set songs so i know she had more than like one song you would know like a couple hand in my pocket you ought to know uh iron is it an ironic is it an ironic

don't you think that one and then that's the one i that's the one i know i can't name a single one off top although to be fair i might recognize them to be fair i think you could piece out isn't it ironic and make that an entire musical. Like, that has so many partitions. You know, like... It's like Rain On Your Wedding Day. That could be an act or a scene. It's like a good...

I don't know. Whatever the lyrics go. Yeah, it is. Like, Rain On... Yeah, it is. Yeah, it was good. It was really good. The singers were phenomenal.

There was a lot going on. Like, there's,'s like eight different storylines hard to follow but like you go for the music ridiculous singing voices awesome that was a good time um afterwards we went out to grab beer and uh some drinky drinks with a uh a fan big fan she calls in all the time and bothers us a lot won't leave us alone my niece denise and our other friend from college steph who we should have on the podcast at some time yeah she's a fun nickname first though she's a big fan so shout out steph uh denise not shout out to you um but went out with them that was awesome. One note about the bar.

It was like an Irish pub. And Denise, we like showed up a little late because we were at the play. And Denise said that like all the waitresses clearly have heavy, heavy, like heavy Irish accents. Like very clearly. Like real ones? Real ones. Very clear. Hold on, Brian.

Brian, give me your best fake Irish accent right now. I don't know. That's a a pirate that's a big time pirate not even an irish pirate i'm not good on the spot you guys know this uh there have to be lucky charms there you go yeah i'll take it um yeah but so did he said that there was a guy who was like talking to the bartender and was like ask something like oh so what part of russia are you from she's like what like not it's impressive to think they're from any other country based on their accent like they were that irish brian And you're an Irish pub. Exactly. So random.

But it was a soccer pub. Like it was based off of this soccer player or something. The Urinals had little soccer goals in them. And they had a little soccer ball hanging from the soccer goal. So your stream, you're trying to hit that ball. You know. How many hats tricks do you score? Man, a lot. It was a bad day to be that goalie tell you that um but you know i've got to imagine it's like for maybe not at a bar

but like teaching like kids how to like aim but like hey it works at 27 years old too um i was very focused oh yeah uh so we try to think of anything we now just came back that night and then i drove back home sunday took it nice and easy uh went to claire's for like family dinner or whatever and usually i go and like get um uh just like a six packs or six pack or something I went in and I was like you know I didn't want to drink some beer so I wanted to get seltzer keep it a little lighter um completely fell for the marketing on Bud Light Seltzer who is now putting out too many different seltzers like I don't know flavor they're so it's so weird i don't know but um i got their ugly sweater um variety pack which is i like it's a pretty big gamble like i like pretty much any drinks like sweet whatever i'll drink anything but i was looking at this and i

was very skeptical they had a the most normal like cranberry something and then they had like a cherry cordial which is like a chocolate covered cherry type thing i think so that was interesting because it's like a chocolate seltzer cherry beer not great and then there is an eggnog one which better than the cordial but still not great and then there was uh oh it was like a sugar sugar plum um also not good they taste i would describe it as how yankee candle smells oh so it's like like an old lady it's like yeah like holidays holiday spices i don't know it's like if you took seltzer and put nutmeg only in it like half a bit of nutmeg and like if you took seltzer and put nutmeg only in it like half a bit of nutmeg and like then you have seltzer and then maybe like throw in a cherry or cranberry um

yeah it was tough uh but you know you powered through live and you learn yeah don't buy them for the holiday party got it i mean i might but also speaking of holiday party there and them putting out all these ridiculous flavors for no reason there's a like psychedelic uh seltzer so it's like 70s ish like kind of so i'm gonna i'm gonna grab that and like i don't know maybe they'll put out a better christmas flavored ones than you know trash but yeah i give my weekend three. I'm walking ears. Love it. All right, Zach, how was your month?

I know. I feel like it's been a while. I won't bore you with the previous weeks. I'll just talk about last weekend. So had the privilege of going up to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for the IU versus Michigan game. My second ever away game behind Penn State. Behind, yeah.

So it was only my second time going to a game that was not at IU. So we went up there Thursday. Had a pretty sweet Airbnb. I was the only IU fan. Went with a bunch of other Michigan fans. So that was really cool. Ann Arbor, great city. Reminds me, it is more of a city, though.

Like, I feel like Happy Valley or State College or whatever you can fucking call it. And Bloomington are more college towns. Like, the population is the student campus. Ann Arbor is definitely more of a city. So when the students students leave there's still a decent chunk of people that live there but regardless um did like the food tour people take me around we went out um pre-gamed there was a night game so we had to pre-game all day uh saturday uh which is fun uh i was the man in control of the music so it kept the vibes up which was great um but yeah went to the big house it was big confirmed big um and uh did you how

did you feel about it like sinking down i feel like it wasn't like it's not you don't know how big it is till you get in it which could be like you know hit you different and be cool but yeah no people had warned not warned me but they had told me that that's how it was and so when i walked in i was kind of expecting it but even still seeing it um like full it was pretty cool um definitely a good experience i wore my bright red iu jacket got heckled by some little kids and by some adults. So that was fun. And yeah, it was good. I mean, it was fine. It was good to experience another college.

I'm actually going to IU this weekend. So I get to see this wonderful football team in back-to-back weeks. So that'll be gross. Why do you do this to yourself? I don't know. I have no idea. It's basketball season. Oh, are you going to a basketball game?

No, no, no, no. But it is basketball season. That's what we're looking forward to. That doesn't help. Honestly, I don't think I you going to a basketball game no no no but it is basketball season that's what we're looking forward to that doesn't help honestly i don't think i'm gonna go to the actual game my sister texted me because my mom will be down there then some other college friends will be down there my sister's like it's a noon game so we'll be tailgating at the bar at 8 30 um so i was like great this will be fun um yeah so yeah it was good uh i did wear on Friday night though, I wore a Reba McIntyre 2004 concert tee. Very much a hit at the bars. They loved it.

Where did you get it? So I ordered it off of, they're actually, so at IU there's this thrift store. They have a bunch of cool graphic tees of like just old school 80s and 90s tees, jerseys and sweatshirts. So I saw the Reba one and i was like purchased

and sure enough got several compliments on it it was fantastic i'm thinking i thought you were gonna be like it's this this vintage store and they sell only reba mcintyre would go into that store as well if that existed um but yeah i was uh yeah got several compliments on it uh it was great i actually went home. I didn't need to go home and change. I had to come up with an excuse to go back to our Airbnb to change because I wanted to wear it out because, like, I brought this shirt to wear it out. And then I got back there and people are like, you just went home to change. You paid $12 to go back to changing your shirt.

I'm like, yes. Does the shirt have, like, her face? Oh, buddy, it is massive uh i can send a picture of it it is her full body and she is looking to post that she is looking hot um for sure is reba hot oh yeah reba's big hot at least this version is 2004 version of reba so that was that was they have to go to video review for that one yeah this version of reba is very hot um but yeah so um what i guess quick two weekends before we had a halloween party just was ferris bueller that was also a hit uh did you wear a vest oh yeah i had the i had the

vest you have the sports car disappointed i did not have the sports car we were in a not great part of chicago so i did not want to get stolen did you dance on top of a parade? on top of a float in the parade? so I wanted to play I kept on I didn't have control of the music at that party but I kept on asking people to play shout

a lot or not shout twist shake it no it's like shake it up baby that song I like the twist

yeah twist and shout okay so we were both right it's not shot shouts the shots the wedding song um yeah but i'm like please play this and they wouldn't play it and so i i would have 100 have done it but they wouldn't have let me um this party was also a back to school theme party because the apartments were in an old church or an old school and the host of the party in the middle of it like around midnight just started passing out incrustables to everybody she had a of it, like around midnight, just started passing out Uncrustables to everybody. She had a big box of Uncrustables and just started walking around and giving it. I was so excited.

I love a weird theme at a party or a double theme. Double theme is good. Yeah. You would think like at a Halloween party, you don't need another theme. But that is what really gets the people going. Really brings it home. I have a question yes ferris did you turn and look at a fake camera and try to talk to the audience uh no but that is

that that is my uh if i were ever going to bachelor any reality show i would just find the camera and just look at it and do the just always send the gym from the office and just be, you know, like give it that look. I'm just picturing that like meme of the one kid, like the little chunky kid sipping like the soda, just like looking back and forth at the camera. I think you would do more of that than you would look like Jim. Or the puppet monkey one where it's the split screen where it's like the eyes.

Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about. Brian, I'll pull it's like the eyes yeah yeah i know exactly what you're talking about brian i'll pull it up yeah i don't know puppet monkeys but yeah no it was good uh this uh november is gonna fly by and then it'll be uh holiday party time before we know it so it's gonna be fun uh so i'll get my multiple themes yeah i will uh i'll get off my train now but i will give my weekend one single mom who works too hard, who loves her kids and never stops. Which is a Reva reference.

Yeah, okay. That went over my head. We didn't need to be educated on that. Corey did. I didn't need it, but you did it. Oh, okay. Corey sent me the monkey puppet thing. It's from a TV show I didn't need it but you did it oh okay Corey sent me the monkey puppet thing

it's like from a TV show Brian how was your weekend thanks for asking sir so my last soccer game of the season sort of was this week playoffs are next week but uh but no

one's going we made it because every team makes it but like yeah we have a tailgate so we're just gonna forfeit is that okay and everyone's like yeah like all right well gotta love the heart with that team gotta love the heart so this last week we're playing the worst team in the league so it's like okay everyone should show up we're actually gonna play all right it will be a good like competitive game at noon of tuesday of last week we get a text one guy's like i tested positive for covid we're like oh okay he's like yeah and like so the group is like all like dudes and chicks that are like married to each other so like half of them are gone now because they're like either living together or they're like best friends and they're like hang out in pairs so we're down to six people and you're supposed to

field seven uh and then one guy also says he can't show up until like later like 30 minutes after the game starts but apparently they still want to play so we show up we have four guys and one girl so we have one guy in that one girl and three guys in the field and we're playing against six people in the field luckily there's little kid soccer luckily there's little kid soccer that went like half an hour too long so our other guy showed up within like three minutes so he was on the sideline but we're down two players for the first 10 minutes of the game and then he comes on the sideline. But we're down two players for the first ten minutes of the game. And then he comes on. Still down one player. It was horrible.

But that team like actually was chill. So like. It worked out. I had three shots on net. And two almost assists. Blame another guy for missing the shot. Crushed it guys. It was the one game all year.

Where I felt like I knew what I was doing. Man. Way to put it together. Right before playoffs. When you play people that like are really good at soccer it makes it not fun because they just destroy you and it feels like you can't do anything but when you play a bunch of other idiots and you just kind of launch the ball around it somehow lands in the right spot feels good we play the uh we're playing flag football right now and thursday we also play the worst team in the league.

And our team is pretty good. If we win, I think we'll be second or third in the standings. But I'm very excited because normally how those teams work is they don't have big guys because it's all just athletic kids. You have to have people play on the line. And in order to make sure I have a spot on the team, I just volunteer to play the line. And then I just dominate.

And so I'm very excited we're playing the worst team in the league because that gives me all excited that they probably are very bad. So I'm looking forward to that. Eight-sack game coming in. So hopefully no COVID. Hopefully they don't just jinx us and someone's going to get COVID. Well, I mean, I didn't say it you said it either way uh went to brunch on saturday went to a place called kelly o's apparently it's famous i don't i don't know

around here oh yeah i've been there before actually yeah they serve like the thing with the fucking sauce on it right like the salsa sauce on top of it it was on diners, drive-ins, and dives i'm pretty sure i've been there before. It was. Uh, yeah. So there's an interesting thing on the menu. It's not even like on like any, it's not entree appetizer, dessert, anything.

She's on the back of the menu. It's just called mush. And we're all like sitting there trying to figure out what it was. I asked her, it's like polenta or something, but I don't, I don't, I don't know.

Don't call something mush. I have no clue. It came fried or grilled. And it was called mush and there was no other description. Did you guys get it? No, because it sounds disgusting. Coward. Why would you do that to yourself?

No, but they had sort of Penn State grilled stickies. They had cinnamon rolls with ice cream. Ugh. Get that. Feel horrible about yourself but feel great inside at the same time it's the way to live life the best feeling uh and then ufc that night there first off front to back great card they broke the record for most like punches thrown in a ufc event with like 1647 or something insane. It was great.

Lots of faces were getting smashed. There's one dude That's too many punches. It was awesome. It was so many people. I was going to say, I saw the one fight with the big boys where he did the spin kick to the head. That's what I was going to say. This one dude

I think he fought in Bellator or some other like small promotion and he weighs like 240 pounds but moves like he's 100 and loves jumping and spinning and kicking people in the head, and he did it in this fight. Did you see his celebration too? He did a flip onto his booty. Had all the rolls jiggling.

Looks just like Kung Fu Panda. He's the coolest guy in the world. My new favorite fighter. He's the best. You guys missed out. Go watch that clip. I'll send it to you or something. And then Sunday, Steelers versus Bears.

I watched none of it until the last drive. Probably because it was on Monday night, not Sunday. Monday night? I don't... Yeah, exactly. I didn't want to watch. Either one, we lose to the Bears, which, like, I don't want to see us do that lose to the bears which like i don't want to see

us do that or two we beat the bears which like doesn't matter because we both aren't good zach rebuttal uh no i'm i'm agreed with brian uh i'm just glad justin fields would look good look good uh we would have won the game and the rest not screwed us over but i'm not really that mad about it uh because the only thing i'm i want justin fields to do good which hopes leads us to wins i also want us to have a middle-of-the-road draft pick so we didn't give away a top-four draft pick for Justin Fields because we gave it to the Giants

in order to draft him. So as long as we finish, I just want the coaching stuff to get fired. So yeah, Brian, I was just kind of heading in the background. I was making my Christmas list during it because I got to get that made. I was firing that off to the parentals

and me or Mana. So yeah. I was trying to think of christmas stuff but like i don't know it's the same stuff every year you type in like christmas gift for guys 2021 it's a whiskey set it's always the same i don't want duffel bag uh it's like a pocket knife and some whiskey it's like a yeti and some whiskey and a beard trimmer. Yeah, and a water bottle. It's like, oh, the only things guys want is this stuff. Yeah, so helpful. Appreciate it, Google. I'll rate my weekend mush.

Grilled or whatever else it was. Deep fried. Raw. Boiled. Boiled mush. Oh, and then baked afterwards with. Boiled. Boiled mush. Oh, and then baked afterwards with some barbecue sauce. Twice boiled mush. No?

No one should ever boil food unless it's like pasta. Should we stand by that? Nothing else goes in boiling water? Unless you're trying to poach an egg. That shit's kind of dope. I was going to say hard-boiled eggs, but hard-boiled eggs are kind of gross. Poached eggs?

Delicious. Pretty tight. I got a quick little trivia for you guys because we were at the bar and somehow it randomly came up and I assume we're done with our weekends and I want to ask it just out of curiosity. Irish trivia? Fire away.

Yeah, sure. It's Irish. If by Irish you mean russian got it when do you think the first toaster was made oh oh so this is when was sliced bread made great question brian because that's what we asked um oh i don't have that here give me one second because i feel like brian brian let's talk this out let's just make a combo answer yeah yeah yeah i think um brain trust oh this is this is why it's on my okay i got it back uh slice bread july 7th 1928 um also let it be known this conversation is going exactly how it went on saturday so we're setting it up pretty well. Okay.

When was like an electrical appliances made? Like when we're outlets, I think. So the thing is, I don't know. I'm also a little nervous. There might have been toasters that you somehow put coals in the side and you toasted your bread that way. Or like they lit mercury on fire because they just didn't know anything about chemicals back then. Or you know like those um campfire things you can put like two pieces of bread and like uh fill in the middle make campfire pies and then you like smush them together uh i don't think that counts as a

toaster no no but i'm saying like that idea right like they're like what if we had this but in our homes instead of having to build a campfire outside i want crispy bread i will i will cory electric toaster this this is really funny because uh i i'll say yes but i don't think that helps you specifically electric toaster but there's another type of toaster this is what i mean more commonly used today more common a toaster because apparently this separates it which is i don which is so oh gas powered no i'm not there was no like raw fire they're both still powered by electricity that's correct oven okay okay okay well no they're both electricity got it so one i'm really bad with dates i have no clue when like world war one was so help me out. When was World War I? This is so eerily similar to the conversation on Saturday.

Steph said the same exact thing and then said, I don't know when World War II was. There's our reason. We're all friends. We're all stupid in the same way. World War I was 1914 to 1918. Yeah. And then they had a radio back then.

Electricity existed. Do you mean the talkie? Yeah. Okay. And then, and then they had like a radio back then. Well, no, so electricity exists. Do you mean the talkie? There's a box in the corner. Did they have radio back then? I thought radio was more of like a forties thing. I don't remember them talking about the rate, like they had radio, but not radio head.

Oh, that's right. That's right. That was in the grunge era. Uh, they had electricity in World War I. I don't think it was... They didn't have color TV, but they had... Corey, I'm going to need you to look up,

when was Thomas Edison alive from? Give me a lifespan on Thomas Edison. We will look that up. Please hold on. Thank you. He was like 1826. Really? He's the light bulb guy, right?

Maybe not 1826. He was born 1847 and he died 1931 boy man he lived longer than i thought he did because he made the light bulb bro we had to keep him alive all right so we used our lifeline on a birthday death day he died in 41 right you think you heard like your prime 31 all right 31 you hit your prime on like inventing stuff when you're like 42? I'm going to say 1900s. I'm going to say around 1900 when he probably – 1901.

Okay. And toast is a winter food, so I'm going November. Okay. But do you think – hold on. But do you think he immediately after inventing electricity pivoted to I need to now toast bread with this electricity? Yes. Yeah. problem number one big bread was in his ear year day one look if you're stuck in like a lab trying to invent crap all day and all you're doing is waking up making food going inventing stuff solve problem number one wake up he made an alarm two he made light bulbs so he could see stuff.

Three, he had to make food somehow. He's eating bread left and right. 19. But so he's eating bread that's full loaves of bread, right? Because keep in mind, the slices came 1927. See, that's what I mean. Pre-sliced bread, 1920s. You could still slice your own bread back in the day. Yeah, just commercial sliced bread. Because, I mean, they're not just raw dog and loaves they're not taking

bites out of loaves of bread they're somehow cutting it somehow raw dogging loaves uh yeah i mean i wasn't there so cannot attest but i would imagine that they were slicing bread but sliced bread stands for like the packaging sliced bread so continue so big bread you're saying big bread yeah big bread was invented in 1928 big bread energy okay all right i mean i'm sticking with what did i say before 1901 that seems way too early the toaster is a the toaster is a century over a century old. Yeah. What else do you make? Look, if you've seen a toaster, it literally is a wire with a plug on either end. All you do is put electricity through metal and it heats it up.

That's what a light bulb is like back in the day. It's the exact same. It honestly is the exact same technology as an incandescent light bulb. Corey, do we get a range? Do we get a plus or minus? Am I going to do hot and cold? No, no, no. I'm saying it can be plus or minus like am i gonna do hot and cold is that no no like i'm saying it can be plus or minus two years or like three years i'll i'll give you i'll give you

three years three is pretty good i need the direction okay we we could have two different guesses we got here at the same point but we can guess different okay brian you go for your first sure we're making up the rules go ahead ahead. 1901, November 27th. I don't have the month. No, you don't have to do that. I'm just looking for a year. I'm sticking with it. But I had November.

Okay. 1901. I'm going to go with 1919. The electric toaster was 1890. No way. I was closer. Right? Okay okay so then begs the question so when was the pop-up toaster created because that's the so that was the second one that we were thinking like your modern 2001 we were really lazy in 2001 before that you know men were

men and the pop-up toaster sounds like a big 60s invention like a like a 50s or 60s like they just invented a series catalog hold on i just want to i want to i want to summarize what this conversation was right so you think one of you two or both of you right you said electricity was created like in this day i think you said like i don't know 18 whatever whatever i said 1800 yeah yeah whatever and then somebody was saying and then immediately after that had to be the first electric toaster so then you're gonna say going from the electric toaster to the pop-up toaster you're gonna do more of a buffer than what you gave electricity the invention of electricity to an electric toaster

look like i said men were men we used our hands for our bread it was only the 60s back in 2001 that i really couldn't figure it out let's we've been on this too long all right give your guess for the pop-up just go each of you 2001 exactly i'll go with 30 i'll go with 39 1939 1920 and then for the extra point, can you give me the patent number for that pop-up toaster? And I'll give you a hint. Seven. 42069. It's seven numbers.

So seven is incorrect. 42069. 420, no. Brian? I already answered. Okay. 139-4450. Everybody everybody remembers it i don't know how you go it's a classic i don't know how i forgot man it's right before two one seven three

nine two i mean who doesn't forget that one i just also thought it was funny that pop-up toaster was created 1920 and then sliced bread was 1928 that kind of like does not make sense to me but hey whatever you probably just had a slicer at home. You know? I guess. I mean, like... Oh, actually, I know what it is. So the reason bread is sliced now

and it's fine is because there's all the preservatives in it so it lasts longer. But the crust actually helps preserve it, so normally you don't want to slice it until you're actually gonna eat it boom science why do i know that i don't know now i know enough about that so let's move science let's move on from being big bread they've already got enough publicity on our part today trivia round two sure i mean do you have something oh you only had one trivia question no i mean i got other things i want your opinions on so i mean do you have something oh you only had one trivia question no i mean i

got other things i want your opinions on so i can do those because i i feel like i feel like it goes one i was telling brian this i feel like it goes one of two ways it's either with with us and our conversing it's either we all agree unanimously and like move on because nobody it's we don't i feel like we don't think it's fun to agree with each other so we just move on to the next thing that will stir up our opinions um so i can see these being like yeah that's great yeah yeah and then we move on so first one being christmas music on november 1st yes fine with it cool all right and we move on. And then the second one is Facebook Marketplace as a buyer or seller. Place to find sex.

Yeah, as the next hot dating app. I am selling myself. Highest bidder. Thank you. I mean, doesn't Hinge now have the voice memos? So Facebook's trying to step it up, I bet. So they're just going to go straight to the market, you know? Is my voice memo just gonna be like uh going ten dollars ten dollars and you're here 11 11 11 11 it's an online auction i've gotten stuff on a facebook marketplace well i

shouldn't say that someone has bought and bought stuff for me but and i just pay them for it like i've had a friend so you have a Facebook marketplace bookie? Yes. One of our friends is really into Facebook marketplace and finding deals. And so when we're looking for stuff for my old apartment, she would just find bar stools and chairs and random stuff. And she'd be like, oh, I found this. And we'd be like, okay, great.

And we would just pay her. She would buy it and we would just pay her the money and go pick it up. So that's probably the only way i used to buy stuff in terms of selling stuff i am so lazy i would just throw something away before i'd be like let me list i see people on there listing like used bags of of salt that they would you know de-ice or driveway it's like oh five dollars i'm like buddy just throw it away or just leave it there until next winter i don't understand obviously if it's something nice i'll consider it but then at that point i'll just look to either maybe give it to somebody who i care about who can use it or just go to like an actual store to sell it

um but if it's if it's worth less than 20 to me i'm just throwing it away or goodwill that's fair i mean i like 20 so i usually i've sold a couple things uh the mic that cory is speaking through right now was bought off facebook marketplace so you i am pro facebook marketplace how's this do not lick that mic wait what was the question just pro con yeah i don't know i feel like some people are like well okay first of all i'll say this for anyone who doesn't i don't know jump into the market as much as they should uh it's just a great place to like sometimes i use it as my like another form of social media well facebook is but like another form of like uh feed that you can go through because holy crap it's hilarious brian you were the one with me when we were going through it a couple years ago i think and there was maybe you weren't maybe it was cody

i don't know somebody was with me and we're going through it we saw somebody selling like a house on there it was i mean granted it was like a shot like it was it it barely had four walls in a room but they were and it was like a thousand bucks like it's just hilarious in general to just see these things that people are doing so people should get on that train i don't think it was it might have not been on face marketplace i almost bought cory a plot of land like three four years ago it was like 50 bucks and it was like no 10 square what it was like on zillow brian almost bought like a burial site for my body i'm showing up to my plot of land and they're like get in there's so many taxes on that i imagine that's the thing i was like i get to play taxes but it's property tax so it's like

based on what you paid initially so it would be like 50 cents a year yeah that's there's that admissible it does not matter it was gonna be such a great birthday slash christmas slash april fool's prank to just be like you own this now take care of it do we consider that a prank yes because now every week you have to go over there and mow a two foot square plot of grass or else the HOA is going to come after you and be like, hey. I mean, if you're going to say there's an HOA on my plot, then yeah, they would. But I find that hard to believe. What's the rules on that? I want to buy a house like a yard and just sell just sell one-square-foot plots to everybody.

And just have them be like, you can decorate this one-square-foot with whatever you want. I got it. It's up to you. I got it. So here's what you do. You do that exact thing, but then you make all of them dress up like either a pawn, a rook, a knight, a queen, a king. And you have real-life people chess, and they have to fight each other to the death when they talk about this before how have we talked the harry potter chess when i make my move you're free to take the queen yeah but i'm saying ryan then i said remember if ryan just would have gotten his

head chopped off by by the other jet piece then he's dead for the rest of the series. Yeah. I mean, we talked about human chess before, but I'm thinking that now we get that plot. You have to get a saw, and you have to force 40 random people that paid you $50 for a one-foot square plot of land in your backyard. And then the HOA definitely is not going to complain about 20 39 bodies in your backyard and one guy standing over top of them they'll complain about the lawn height before they complain about that all right that's why they have to come over every week and mow it exactly over the dead bodies uh brian what do you have for us today oh zach yes you weren't here

last week so rapid fire yay what's your well not really rapid fire because there's only one uh we talked about food courts and your ideal food court you get five choices of places go chilies uh number one uh yeah i love chilies number two dairy queen slash orange julius that's a combo and i get it both um you need ice cream in there uh so i would take that mcdonald's obviously mostly for breakfast if you get to the mall a little early you need to get some breakfast and you know walking around hash brown and an orange juice um i get five right is that the rule yeah walking around hash brown yeah that's a really i was gonna i was gonna say that's a good name a nickname or a derogatory term or something it's just look at that walking around hash brown

but it sounds positive that does but still that sounds less positive i think you look like a walking around like it's it seems like a good southern like positive i mean if it came from like a southern like a southern grandma like charm like that twangy charm i see it but like also i think you get the other side of it if it's like some like redneck like big big guy saying it like a muffled yeah they got dip in their mouth. Then, I think you said last week, but I was waiting for someone to say it, and the nondescript Chinese food restaurant,

that is a... I don't know if someone said that last week, right? Yeah, Dylan did. Yeah, that's the best. Now let's be clear, are you getting the restaurant, or are you getting the workers at the restaurant? Because that was up for grabs. Or just the cans of soda from said restaurant.

I just want the samples outside. The restaurant doesn't have to have any people in it. I just want the sample, the teriyaki chicken samples out in front. Did you not listen to the episode last week where that's the exact same thing I said? No, I did. I think I might have been. I listened to it once last week and it might have been. But I was definitely thinking of it before as you guys were talking about it.

Like they need to say the nondescript like chinese place all right for your last one i'm fine with sharing for your last one remember anything in the mall is up for grabs anything but okay anything but food wise though right water fountain no um okay dance dance revolution the gumball machine i think i think brian you said fogo de chow right like you said a steak place that's also kind of i'm kind of see i've got like the chilies as my mainstay that can be lunch and dinner if i get bored mcdonald's is. Maybe, do I need a healthy spot? No. You're right. You need a fancy

place. Applebee's. Yeah, no, dude, Applebee's is... Dollarita's, baby. Applebee's is so bad. Place to drink? Hey, hey, hey. No. No. They got half-price apps. I'll go with, give me a Buca di Beppo. I'll go with a Buca di Beppo.

Family-style guy. Family style guy. Oh yeah. Sit at the chef's table in the kitchen just for me. He wants that extra wide bowl. He wants two big ladles and he's scooping for everybody. We're passing that plate around. Exactly. We're eating family style.

Well, cause I was trying to think of, I was trying's a... I was trying to think of chains, right? Because, I mean, there's some fancy steak places you could put in there, but like Fogarty Shower or something like that. But I was trying to think of a chain that was kind of fancy, but also... Actually, you know what? I changed my answer.

I'm putting a Portillo's in there. Portillo's. I don't know. Chicago-based restaurant. But it's also in Phoenix in California. I'm going to go back to the whatever, Mama Lucia's, whatever the pizza, not pizza, Italian, Bucca di Beppo.

So it's still a food court, so I'm still picturing like one massive table surrounded by all the little rinky-dink food court tables, and it's just Zach sitting there with a giant bowl of spaghetti where everyone else has like a tray of food. Yeah, probably not spaghetti, but definitely some other sort of pasta. Linguini kind of guy?

Yeah, I'm a I like a little thicker noodle. Flat noodle? I like flat noodle more than anything. I'm also a big just like tube pot, like the shorter pastas. I don't need like the long noodles. Are we talking penne? Penne, I'll do a little zd on a zd guy like a little big the big fat ones though yeah have you guys ever heard of if you guys ever heard of masacholi you guys ever had masacholi

growing up no no okay so apparently small town in massachusetts apparently it's just a midwestern thing but um it's basically just penne pasta with tomato sauce and it's baked and it has cheese on top of it. It was always served. But it's not, but it's penne pasta. It's not ziti. Sounds like big penne.

But we called it masacholi. It was always served at our graduation or birthday parties along with fried chicken. You always get fried chicken and masacholi was the go-to pairing. I hate pasta so much. It's just served in big portions at every event, and it's always sort of too cold, and the cheese isn't melted anymore. We know you hate lasagna, so I get it. I'll fight anybody on that.

Those are my five restaurants i like i need the dairy queen for the dessert the orange julius is just a bonus i've actually never been to an orange julius but figure they come in combos so why not just add them that's weird that you would throw that on your list of five why would i give away nostalgia why would i give away the combo if i don't have to because they come together right you know what i wish i said last week and i'm obviously not going to change my last couple answers because they come together right you know what i wish i said last week and i'm obviously not going to change my last couple answers because they made sense i wish i said and brian this is going to be one i feel like you're going to be like that's dumb um i wish i said duncan because

you know what's good at the mall is just like getting a coffee and like walking around like i feel like i always want to have a coffee and walk around also donuts come on that's a good dessert thing to throw in there also the ball gets a donut i'm saying it's initially for the coffee but i'm just saying this fills out the dessert category of it um hash browns and dots fire also serves breakfast because like that's what they're there for so it's like you have breakfast and you have dessert and you have a little walking around cup of joe a little walk around hash brown cup of sloppy joe's and jane's for the walking around cory's gonna put a cafeteria like a middle school cafeteria in his food court they're gonna serve sloppy joe's chicken patties i want me some

french bread pizza some nachos where it's just the chips and cheese on top, and then nothing else. And chocolate milk. Oh, sorry. Yeah, chocolate milk. Throw that on top. Good. Good forever. So we're still... No more food. So Rooks gets Long John Silvers,

because that's obviously going to be off. I'm shocked none of us took that. He had the first round pick. We just let it slot on the draft board, so it made sense. He can get Long John Silvers and Arby's. They have the first round pick. We just let it slot on the draft board, so it made sense. You get Long John Silvers and Arby's. They have the beef. God, the meat.

How are you always like 20% wrong with everything you say? The beast? The beef. Brian, when he says things, he gets like 80% of the way there, and then there's like one fine detail that i'm like that is not what it is i was hit a head a lot when i was a kid so like 20 of my brain is just like black matter right now and just doesn't really do anything so like i remember stuff until the last two words and then it just kind of fizzles out 20 of his brain sloppy jane a other 80 sloppy joe uh rooks gets the combo though he doesn't get

long john silvers and arby's he gets a long john silvers arby's combination so that means he can get all that shredded whatever meat and fish on the same sandwich every time every sandwich they sell has roast beef and fish on it. Sounds like the worst thing I've ever heard of in my life. Have you guys, I've honestly never had long John Silvers and never intend to. I've never had, maybe I've had it once,

uh, A and W, which is also usually a combo with long John Silvers. And then I think I've, I know I've had Arby's once or twice, but I just can't... I don't know. Something about we have the meat that kind of scares me away a little bit.

I've had Arby's more than Long John Silvers. I've never had any fast food fish at all. I've had Arby's once because I think my mom weirdly liked Arby's's so we would go there a couple times when I was younger but I haven't been there in forever.

I had a friend in middle school who I hung out with constantly and his dad loved Arby's. That was the only place we would go. Sandwiches were not great. But curly fries come with nacho cheese and barbecue sauce. Can't really complain. At least they have one good thing either we should do if we ever get to the point where

we do live uh not live so where we do next week where we do videos uh on youtube like just post some some more content um we should do a and i'm sure it's been done but we should do a cook-off but you get like three fast food restaurants and we have to make something combining all those meals that'd be pretty wild be pretty bad but then we but then we have to like set ourselves up with like the worst one so it's like arby's long john silvers i'm giving rooks roast beef second helping of roast beef and then a third helping of roast beef and he has to make it into something that's not roast beef dessert round oh no uh chefs today i've prepared a candied roast beef paired with a roast beef ice cream

and a roast beef martini. And a puree to wash it all down. A la cuisine. A la cuisine. I mean, I want to do that. I want to do that. Put it down. Next week, chopped, but audio version.

We're just going to pretend like we're in here chopping food. We're going to call it Slopped. It works so well. Everyone's just messy. You just have to get dirty before you start cooking. That's the premise. You have to hold a sloppy Joe in one hand the entire time, and whoever drops the least gets a bonus point.

Oh, no, that's actually really good we should try to do like some task everybody wears white t-shirts and whatever you have to hold a sloppy joe in your hand while you're doing it and then if you get you know sloppy joe on you sloppy ninja warrior yeah yeah i mean i don't think i could do ninja warrior without a sloppy joe but hey if you guys do sloppy joe me at the party can you at least wrap it in foil first so it stays warm uh i'm gonna no it's back around it we'll boil it don't worry oh no sloppy joe water just like mama used to make Walk in the door After football practice

Take a nice whiff Is that the sloppy joe water I smell mom It always smells like I remember She always knew how to cook up that sloppy joe water I miss her so much Leave a sloppy joe at her grave every week back when i was a little walking around hash brown bye
