And here we go. Have we talked about lab-grown meat before? No, but you know what, Brian? I would love to. Okay, thanks, guys. So lab-grown meat, let's talk about it. I got two questions. First is going to be easy.

Second one, a little more of a thinker. One, lab-grown meat. Are you pro or con? Pro. Assuming it tastes like um cow bread meat yeah what bread meat cow grown meat we said like you're saying like oh you're saying like lab cow meat cab it tastes like normal cow grown meat i'm cool with it cab love me like you're you're saying like yeah like impossible burger except like lab burger and it tastes the same and we're happy got it yeah yeah i'm on board i eat hot dogs which is

basically lab grown meat i feel like sustainability i feel like if somebody says no they're weird i feel like if there's a hot dog grown in a lab i would be against it but i would eat a regular hot dog hot dog grown in a lab is terrifying honestly you could just call that a hot dog and I'd be like, okay. You don't have to tell. Honestly, if they were to announce tomorrow breaking news, hot dogs are grown in a lab, we just found out, I'd be like, yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, I wouldn't be shocked. Yeah, it wouldn't even really be breaking.

It would just be news. Do you think they grow plants where they sprout out of the ground, just a little nub, and then they slowly get longer? That's why the foot-long chili dogs, they sprout out of the ground just a little nub and then they're like slowly get longer that's why like the footlong chili dogs they just gotta leave them in a little bit longer no they're grown in a lab they're not grown out of the ground if there's dirt in a lab okay yeah yeah yeah okay all right so the harder question though yeah if they make lab-grown human meat are you gonna eat it because that's 100 a thing that they can do in the future why would they grow well i guess if they make lab-grown human meat we can definitely make lab-grown pig chicken and cows oh i mean so they they already

could do lab-grown meat of everything else. It's just like a cost thing. So it's definitely out there. I'm going to go with no for the sheer fact of like I don't eat people now. So I don't know that all of a sudden I'm going to be like it's artificial, so it's for me. Also, if it's a cosplay, it's going to be more expensive to grow lab-grown human meat than it is lab-grown cow meat. You don't know that. No, I do. It'd probably be cheaper. I'm a champion of business.

I know. Econ major. Do you think it's cheaper to grow human meat than it is to farm it? No. No, so it's cheaper to farm human meat. Yeah. I don't think you're right.

Would you eat human meat, though, Zach? If it's lab-grown. You just mean murder. You just mean killing someone. No, I feel like he means like growing a person. Like that's where I'm a little lost there. Like if, cause I was on Zach's page too a little bit. And then I was like, no, that like, it can't be that.

Cause that's clearly the right answer. If he means murder. Yeah. Like, I mean, I meant murder, but like what you want like a free-ranged human farm i don't just like yeah i thought you yeah i thought you were talking about like for a second like if if science if we get science so advanced that we can grow people like out of the ground like that's what i thought like the hot dogs yeah or like remember when we were talking about and maybe we weren't talking about this so if so apologies because it's way out of left field you know how

you're like saying if like cremation versus like burial you could like bury your ashes and become a tree like that except it's a tree of people like people sprout off of the trees and like become you can pick them like you take an apple off a tree you take a bite out of it it's just like a baby's head actually it's a double whammy too because you'd think that'd be like pretty good for halloween like people hanging off the trees and then also your fiance girlfriend or boyfriend or whoever would be like hey do you want to go people picking this week so it's like a decoration but then you also oh no you go you know get a picture at the people patch and instead of the pumpkin patch and yeah this is delving into like the 1700s a little

bit too much at the people patch uh do these heads speak uh we're assuming that the branch sorry i yawned but you're assuming that the branch connects to their head wouldn't connect to their belly button like where the umbilical cord oh like a swing like they'd be swinging everybody's reverse mission impossible yeah they're more terrifying than just heads but that one supports their neck so i feel like they would just they wouldn't do very they wouldn't last very long because you have to support a baby's neck because they're very top heavy but if they're hanging from a tree the whole time they're born would they even out

you know you can like you can grow a watermelon in a box and it'll become square are you talking about their head like would their head even out what are you talking about all right we're going square humans we're planting the tree as soon as it starts to fruit we're gonna put a box around it and then it's just gonna you're gonna grow into that square and then you'll be different they do that for the baby helmets already yeah yeah they do just like do the the opposite of trying to get it to be like a correct shape. Go ahead, Corey. I've thought on that. Go ahead.

Are you also considering? I might be. Could you? Why? Has anybody tried like doing a different shape for the baby heads? So, yeah. Like it's definitely very incorrect. So, there's some tribes in Africa that elongate baby's heads and they become like

the predator you know the predator's head's like really long or alien it's like really long and sticks out the back i thought you were talking like predator like they become the predator in like society predator yeah oh i was i was kind of going that way cory but i feel like the helmets they put on the babies are just very uncool. Like, I'm making fun of that baby if I'm in that baby's nursery class. Like, I'm definitely calling him helmet baby. You got to give him a sweet motorcycle helmet or something. Oh, so you want them to make it...

Okay, I got you. I was going to say, like, it has to be the shape that they want it to be in. Yeah, but I feel like you can make it cooler. Like, it looks like a colander on their head. You can stick stuff on the outside yeah like you know like crocs have the little like the crocs have the little like gibbets or whatever you put in there whatever they're called yeah like the they're like little charms yeah like same thing or stickers for the baby's helmet i think a visor would be kind of hard can we rewind

for a second what did you what did you call it giblets they're like gibbets or something. I'm not far off. Gibbets? Yeah. Spell this. D-J-I-B-I-T-S. Coming out strong with a D-J. I got Djibouti off of Google. Is that what you're talking about?

I'm close. You put those on your cross. No, it's gibbet. It's J-I-B-I-T. I just added the D. Oh,. No, it's gibbet. It's G-I-B-I-T. I just added the D. Oh, it literally is called a gibbet. Let's go. Oh, there's two Bs.

Two Bs and a Z. Play the music, Brian. Why the fuck? It is Wednesday, my D. I'm going to fuck you, Brian. Yo. Yo, how do you get milk out of a crab? Give me milk now, mommy.

Fat matches. Solve world hunger tonight. Can I get this vagina animal style? Funny as Wonderland. Be the way. I'm sweater. Ow! That came as an orgasm?

What? What? Woohoo! That's like an orgy, my guy. What's up, sluts? The Olympics are a fraud. Your word is Reichstrabatist. Ew, you're gross.

Anywhere close to my butthole, he is just eating right through it. Your bottom's off? Trying to low-key penetrate you. Hey, boo-boo. I shall not. I shall not. Talking around to shit himself all the time. Trying to have sex with a lover.

The gun to the peen is what you need, brother. White Jesus. Kirby's down there just blowing. Kneecaps are not organs. Fuck you, Ratatouille. It is Wednesday, my dudes. Welcome back to another episode of It's Wednesday, My Dudes. Episode 88? First episode of 2023, so you know, gotta get a new intro. There's too many good quotes from the last year

to not be in that segment every episode for the next year that was a very well kept secret i know you mentioned that you were gonna do that at some point but like clearly i didn't mention it at least for the last like month or two because i had no idea um wild also took me like i forget what we the first one even was because there's like so many quotes it's hard to keep track so the first thing i was like that's new and then i had to wait like six seconds before i was like okay this is all new yes all from 2023 a lot of ridiculous ones had to try to throw in every guest we had in there so i think claire's in there jesse's in there and kristin's in there i think so yeah all right what about the rooks is out this. All right, what about the-

Rooks is out this week. I was going to say, what about the four girls, like me and Corey, we all called to ask if Shaq was hot. Was it Shaq was hot or The Rock? The Rock was hot. The Rock. The Rock. Yeah.

Although, hey. They did- Do you want to talk about Shaq this week? No. I mean, it seems like we're already talking about growing people. We got a lot of things on this episode. I think we could go back to growing people for the rest of the episode and just knock out an hour real quick. If Rooks is that excited about tier listing appetizers, this seems like a topic I feel passionate about.

I don't think Rooks really chimed in on the appetizers. So this week we're tier listing appetizers, if you didn't know. Rooks is out. I don't know why, but you know, New Year's same him. He's out. But we got Corey. What is up? We got Zach. It's the Patty Kane episode.

Episode 88. Oh, I was going to say the Eric Lindros. That's a better one though because he's more, you know, he's more good. Do we like Patty Kane? Didn't he have like a thing yeah we don't know we don't actively have an opinion about him currently oh i do i don't have it okay that's fine okay i might want to retract that at some point all right uh so uh you know it's been a while it's christmas that new year's i don New Year's. I don't know. Anything happen, Corey?

Um, Christmas did happen. Correct. Uh, New Year's also did happen. Um, no, I mean, went home to Albany, celebrated Christmas, had a lazy Christmas. We did go to the New Jersey Devils game. They lost. Uh, it was like during a ice storm too, but we made it back safe and sound. Uh, saw Avatar. Uh, it was better than the first one um really yeah i mean like it's it's so i'm not i don't i like them both a lot

but like i'm not one of the people who's like it's the best movie in the world it's good they're both really good and really cool to watch uh the second one I liked better because it's basically still the same story, but cooler like visuals because it's water. So like for that reason, it's better in my eyes, but still sick. Was it worth the three hours? Yeah. I mean, it wasn't when I judge a three hour movie or like a movie two hour, whatever, over two and a half hours when I judge those movies, I'm like, if I didn't think until maybe the last like couple scenes, wow, this movie's long, then I think that's pretty good.

And I didn't at all really throughout the movie be like, wow, this is going really long. So I thought that was pretty good because it's three hours, which is too long. Good barometer. Uh-huh. Yeah. And yeah. That was about it yeah uh nice took you three weeks to watch a three hour long movie love it cool all right yeah that's about all i got sick uh yeah i was out of florida the uh oh what state is the is florida again

oh the city of brotherly love state true bridge city baby that's right i was down in uh boca raton uh drinking roca patron shout out to that song by asap for and boss um uh it was warm down there i avoided the bomb cyclone which by the way bomb cyclone terrible event sick name like why aren't more things called bomb cyclones like that should be a play in every professional division like all right we're running bomb cyclone left and then it's like or eight offensive linemen go to the left and we just run it with a fullback like that's the bomb cyclone let me say right tell rooks to do it next year on his high school team yeah okay yeah oh we should we should try to make up play names for rooks it was a good idea just like that he

has to make the whole play but like we just we just have the names he's also defense though and usually it's like they don't really have play names it's just like color cover two cover three yeah well we'll replace those so then the offense will be confused when they're calling out not cover to not cover three they're calling out hurricane bomb left up down abxy we're gonna take his little wristbands that he gives to his players unlimited ammo after that unlimited lives all right what else other than bob cyclone i absolutely dominated in a thousand piece puzzle did not stand a chance spent up all night just bullying this puzzle of a christmas puzzle of dogs cats and windows stood absolutely no chance

i fucking love puzzles man they are so relaxing and you you put the nothing feels better you put the border on that shit i'm the king of looking at a piece and knowing it fits in the spot i'm not trying out in the there's all this bullshit flipping it around i see the piece boom fits done you lock me in for 10 hours i'm like the puzzle's done i'm about i'm about you know like your guam your gross words a minute when you type like whatever the puzzle equivalent of that, like what's your, your gross words a minute. Like you ever did typing class in high school? I know what you're talking about. I didn't hear anyone ever call it a Guam. You can throw around that acronym. Isn't it WPM? Just words per minute. No gross. Cause you gotta get your gross and your gross words per minute. Yeah. They're disgusting

words. What are we subtracting? We're not taxed on our words. Because if you to get your gross words per minute. Yeah, they're disgusting words. What are we subtracting? We're not taxed on our words. No, because if you mess up a word, like if I type like the cat has spots and I misspell has and spots, my gross words a minute is two. It's not four. But I like fix it and I go back and fix it. Okay.

Anyway, dominated this puzzle. Bullied it. I love that. We should talk about puzzles more in life so continues that i'm a dude if you spin off yeah we'll talk about puzzles dude i'm down bro don't even don't even tempt me i i love i think i think this deserves a note uh in brian's phone ready for the holiday party so we're we're gonna do our poster which we i did not do this year i don't think i did um but i'll make a puzzle out of the poster and in order to get in everybody has to i'm i will sit at the door for the full seven hours of the night and in order to get in you i have to watch you put a piece on the puzzle and then by the end I'll like you know obviously it can't be like one piece

per person because that's not going to be a lot of people but like we finish the puzzle by the end and then I don't know what happens but we have a puzzle that's complete I guess at the end so that's fun the theme that we're not saying yet for next year's party might be perfect for that as well oh is it nice

no alright continue Zach might be perfect for that as well oh is it nice no all right continue zach um anyway so dominated the puzzle um santa came was great to me um we had it was cold in florida so we had to take care of some iguanas that froze and fell out of the tree we had to put them back in the in the in like the little bushes area tree yeah so if it gets if iguanas famously cold-blooded reptiles um and if it gets too cold their body freezes and they can't move so they fall out of the trees and they lose grip and so it's yeah they're big big dummies sometimes they survive and sometimes they don't so we hope that this one survives so we had to fish him out of the pool and kind of chuck him somewhere to where we hopefully he got warm and slowed it away he froze and then

fell into the pool yeah but i think it's like a i think it's like a you know like a chicken breast thing like when you're like you can still freeze a chicken breast and then unthawed and eat it like i think it becomes like the same like after you can freeze it and it becomes the same thing after it was pre-frozen it has it has to breathe though Yeah, but I feel like it's still worse. If it's frozen, it'll fall into a pool. No, no, no, no. What you're not remembering is they paid $80,000 or was it $200,000 for that science experiment to freeze their bodies and be resurrected in the future? They actually shelled out the money for that.

Correct. Yeah, yeah, yeah. These iguanas, oh, they're just experimenting on the iguanas. They're growing around freezing them. They're in Florida. They're retired. They got the money. Exactly.

Can we go to the point you made about Captain America, how he survived being in the water that long? Yeah, I think he had an internal... You know all the heating pads, the hand warmers you get? I feel like the super soldier serum is a bunch of those inside inside so it kind of warms you up from the inside slowly so like keeps you alive enough but not just a bunch of pellets inside a stomach and the waves shake them around enough that it activates it yeah okay i'm back on board isn't his whole thing like he can't he doesn't age so maybe it's like he was to him. He was in the ice for like five minutes and then like not in telling time or different things. He's a time traveler. I'm pretty sure you're not like a first grader.

You have a kid in like first grade that like doesn't know how to read time. Like, yeah, my kid just doesn't age. Watch. I'll ask him what time it is. He doesn't even know. It's completely different. I mean, I'm going to say that now. All right. doesn't even know it's completely different i mean i'm gonna say that now all right so you try you you gotta get guada out of the water that's obviously very much died twice and you think he's gonna survive that's good i guess well it's like around it

was like around you know christmas so jesus being born we thought we give this one a chance it might be jesus iguana you don't know you have to leave him in the water three days, though. Correct. Well, he can walk on water, so we just got it. Oh, that's how he survives. There you go. So yeah, I left Florida, even though Southwest tried to cuck us, was able to get out and fly out on time.

Shout out to my flight being the only flight that wasn't canceled from Fort Lauderdale to Chicago with Southwest. What was that flight number? Shout it out. I think it was 1896. Shout out 1896. 309. I don't think we should

dox plane flights just for like... I mean, it's over. They reuse those plane flight numbers, right? I feel like they have... It goes up to what? Like 9999. So I feel like they have...

They can cycle through them pretty quickly. Right? Yeah, 8,000 flights. Yeah So I feel like they have, they can cycle through them pretty quickly. Right. Anyway, a thousand flights. Yeah. Yeah. I got home. 10,000. Uh, I've my new year's resolution for next year is to never go out on new year's again. Uh, I'm just getting too old for it. It kind of stinks. We went out for a nice steak dinner. I got a nice ribeye. It was delicious. And then we went to the worst bar in Rosemont, Illinois. It was a dueling pianos bar, but in the dance floor where you're supposed to dance in front of the dueling pianos was just tables filled with all old people and so we were standing in aisles in like in the aisles to get in getting yelled at by the bouncers and we were

like literally we have nowhere else to go where do you want us to go like oh and then i'm like exactly and then i bought a jello shot out of a syringe and took that sounds like every howling moon i've ever been to it was bad it was bad i'm like never again and then so are you sure it wasn't how at the moon no it was just called like dueling it was a very unoriginal name it was like it was like do dual piano um are you just saying dual piano can you also not tell time yeah dule piano way um. Oh, it's Italian. It's Italian. You went to an Italian restaurant.

Yeah. We went to another bar next door. We had to pay another $20 cover, but they played Swag Surf and then some more fun songs, so we enjoyed our time there. My friends went to the casino, which I smartly said I will not be going to said casino. And then I went home and crashed at my buddy's place. And then, yeah, that's how I vow vowed myself never to go out on new year's eve again so um i'm gonna give or did you write your weekend are we not doing that in the new year

uh i did not and we can make a split decision right now if we shall continue or not uh let's do new system okay it's not it's not a rating it's a give it a color i was gonna say like an emotion how about how about it i got it let's give it an emoji like an emoji oh mine are all just gonna be turd emojis but yeah no emoji it what you got uh uh hold on let me open up my little texty text do do do do i will give it go ahead cory there's too many emojis oh i got it i'm gonna give it the cowboy hat oh good one old standby okay i'm gonna give mine the uh one with the two eyes and the smoke around the face what what are you saying to us oh the the brain explode no the brain explode one oh okay i've never seen that never they just dropped that emoji two days ago

i'm gonna save the eggplant emoji for a really good week honeymoon week easy all right so my week uh speaking of three hour long movies how you guys know the movie drive my car i've heard it was like in all there you go it was like an oscar contention for some reason or whatever and it was like supposedly really good it's three hours long i don't know i was like sure let's watch one like bougie movie uh not worth it uh figured if you if you didn't expect um one all in japanese very hard to understand, so that subtitles for three hours. That's a lot of reading. Four, they do like pronouns weird. So like they'll be talking about like a lady and they'll say he and she and they and it all in reference to that same person. And they're not consistent with it.

So it's very confusing trying to read a sentence when every sentence it changes the pronouns of it because you have no idea who they're talking about. And it was that for three hours. Also, the title credits happened 40 minutes into the movie, which was very confusing. So I don't recommend it. I'm going to keep stats this year and we'll see how long this lasts. But of Brian's movie recommendations, which ones were he would recommend and which ones he hated? I watched Bullet Train. It was surprisingly good.

I will give you... One for two. Okay. Okay, I guess. Sounds good. There we go. All right. Other than that, dude, I didn't do anything in the last two weeks.

It was great. I made the new intro for the podcast, watched a lot of movies, video games it was tight well needed break and then my work my work computer didn't work today so i was also like didn't do anything today either it was not so not work computer exactly i'll rate it the upside down smiling emoji because i love using that and it's very ambiguous what you mean and you can use it in every situation so upside down smiling emoji gotcha i like that all right boys uh we need a tier list uh intro music The Amanda song. Coming in at one foot, three inches in diameter. It's the plate the appetizers come on.

It's an appetizer draft, not draft, tier list. Are we going to do a group tier list or individual? I say group. I say we have to be on the same page. We got to get quick too there we got like 20 so i gotta but it'll be fast i got a quick rubric for us uh what we're gonna be rating on a taste presentation is it shareable and then finger ability on board finger ability canopy finger finger. Finger ability. I'm writing these down so I can look at them.

What is it? Taste, presentation, finger ability. And is it shareable? Shareable. Are we getting rid of E again? Are we just not using E again? Can we please? Sure.

Okay. Why do you guys not like E? It's just like one more useless category. It's like there's too many. I can't. Okay. Can we introduce a... Yeah, E's off the board.

Can we introduce a hell tier below F for the worst of the worst? So, guys. That's what F would be if we had an E category. All right. So, what are our tiers then? All right. We'll get hell at the bottom. S, A, B, C, D, F.

Yeah. A, B, C, D, F. S, A, B, C, D, F. A, B, C, D, S, F. Hell. all right so what are our what are our tiers then all right we'll just get a b c d f yeah a b c d f s a b a b c d f hell sab f yeah yeah yeah there we go all right sab f yep that's it everybody everybody knows it you love it and you know it. Everybody's grading scale. So, I sent us a list. There's a couple right off the bat I don't want to do first because, come on, they're the heavy hitters. Someone throw some

random ones at us. First one, sliders. I'm not saying what type of slider. It could be chicken. It could be hamburger. It could be whatever the hell else. But sliders. Thoughts? This is a lot to go off quick. Okay, I'm going to look at it. Sliders, taste.

I'm thinking barbecue sliders. I'm a big fan of those. Pulled pork sliders. I'm creeping A in their presentation. He's a little high. Do you think A's a little high for sliders? I feel like the – not pulled pork sliders, but we're doing the breath of all sliders. And I feel like the breath is what hurts it.

Because every time you order a burger slider, driest thing, hockey puck. Can't even fucking choke it down. The only good sliders, honestly, are White Castle because they're frozen. And the frozenness helps keep the moisture in the meat. Everything else, sliders stink um sliders just like a regular burger cut into fours it's not its own thing you know i would say c tier i'd say like c like they're fine like again because to try to like cut the difference between the shitty sliders and then the good ones that like the pulled pork or like even like the ham and cheese boys where you can like put them on hawaiian rolls and like

bacon like those are good but like those are good but you can like put them on Hawaiian rolls and like bake them. Like those are good. But like. Those are good. But you can't get those from like a restaurant. You know. Homemade is always going to be a million times better. Well, that's fair. I'm on board with C.

I'm okay with C. I'm okay with it. For reasons that Zach shared. I agree with all those. There's also just never enough. You'll get four every time. And if there's two of you it's like all right well you both had two bites i will say i don't i think i could count like two

times in my life i feel like i've ever gotten sliders that weren't pulled pork so what zach was like yeah there's no real options then it's like okay then yeah i think it's pork burger chicken kind of the main three i'd never get chicken and burger, I feel like. I'm just going to get a burger. If I want a burger, I'll get a burger. I don't need little mini burgers. That's why I'm saying it. That's why it's mid. All right.

All right. We're on board. We're on board. All right. See. Moving on. A southern staple, hush puppies. Thoughts?

From the guys that aren't from the south. Yeah. I don't really have hush puppies, so I feel like I'm going to take a coffee mug and sit this one out. I'll let you guys duke this one out. How many hush puppies do so I feel like I'm going to take a coffee mug and sit this one out. I'll let you guys duke this one out. How many hush puppies do you eat in the Midwest? Zero, but they're like cornbread, right? It's like cornbread balls.

Yeah, it's like deep fried cornbread, sort of. An F, because I think cornbread stinks. All right, see you. I'm all on board. One, how dare you? Cornbread's incredible. It can be horrible, though. Hush puppies, though?

Hella overrated. Everyone loves them in the South and they are just like dough that's fried. That's not good. It tastes like cornbread without tasting like cornbread and it's stupid. I'd rather have anything else.

Give me the sliders over that any day of the week. F tier. We can put that in hell tier if you want to throw it in there for a second. Moving on. Let's wait. Okay. Rolls. In general, we can put that in hell tier if you want to throw it in there for a second moving on let's roll yeah okay rolls in general

because there's a million types in general in general sick the the range of them is vast but disagree always do rolls always be hitting bro where do you get a bad where you get a bad The range of them is vast, but... Disagree. The best ones... Do rolls always be hitting, bro?

Where do you get a bad roll from? Where do you get a bad roll? Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, 20... That's not a restaurant. 15. That's fair. That's fair. Some of them are just like...

Were you citing Rooks' rolls? Oh, yeah, I was. I was going to call out Rooks. He's not here to defend himself. I love that. We had Friendsgiving. We all made one thing. Rooks shows up up didn't make his thing but had his like rolls still in the fridge like the pillsbury doughboy ones we sit down to eat he puts them in the oven

while we're eating we're done eating and he goes oh the rolls are done and pulls them out they're burnt no one eats one i'm just like dude come on um i think rolls should be i think they should be a i feel like they shouldn't be s because if we're talking appetizers like we get rolls i don't order rolls which is the way it should be yeah yeah i don't know if i'd pay for them i've been spoiled so much getting them for free all the time taking them for granted i don't know if i'm shelling out the cash rolls have always been there for years without rolls they've always been there for you they've never let you down and now you're just tossing them to the lowly a tier yeah lowly i'll do it amen if they're not giving okay all right we're on board a tier a champion of all appetizers it's pretty specific, but the Bloomin' Onion.

No? Yes? No reaction at all? B. Good. B. Wow. I think B is correct. I think B is correct.

It's for the wow factor. It's got no real substance. It's like million dollar move, 10 cent shot appetizer. It's so shareable. The presentation is the best out of any appetizer. If we were going to go presentation only, that's S s we all agree that's easily s flavor flavor is good it's not the best on this list i'll tell you that much give me an onion ring because the coating all comes off you can't pull it off like it doesn't come easy to pull it off yeah onion ring coating tastes like nothing though

and then this also comes with the sauce it is onion right that's like the same thing it's the same thing it's not it's like flavored onion ring, Cody, though. Well, you're just eating terrible onion rings, though. Oh, for sure. But a Bloomin' Onion is always the same. Onion rings can vary. Bloomin' Onion, overlap. Hold on.

This is like me taking rolls and we're sending it with Olive Garden breadsticks. This is so... Brian, that's fair. That's fair. It just sounds like Brian wants to put it in S, and i refuse this goes in s no i agree with b tell me where you be that's fine that's fine you can overrule me okay okay it's a shame guys is this the year we agree on everything and rooks isn't here it's fine you know we're all getting along. Giant pretzel. One, garbage.

Two, better outside of a restaurant. Three, never order it. It always comes with like the mustard. No one wants that. And then like not enough cheese that like congeals and you can never scoop it. Okay. That's a good point. I was going to say beer cheese is fire though.

But I agree with, you know, if you don't eat it quick enough it's you're just yeah it's just gonna form back yeah into cheese not it has never enough cheese i would say it's true if you get it at like a like a german beer hall like it's delicious but the problem is there's so few and far between like you're likely of getting it that's like a tgi fridays and it being terrible is way higher so i'm done yeah i think it's I'm down. Yeah. I think it's a D. Yeah. I'm D. I think it's a D. I'll push it further. You guys fine with F or we, we don't have anything to you. I'm going to do,

I'm going to do D slash F. We'll see at the end of this, if we need to move it to one or the other, because I don't like too many in one tier. Yeah, that's fine. I'll keep it in D for now. All right.

I don't know if I've had this one at a lot of restaurants as an appetizer, but when it's there, you always get it. What shape of human? Boxhead human meat. Nice. Yeah, that one always get. It's a little expensive though.

No, mac and cheese bites. Oh, I love them. They're doing a lot though. It's doing a lot. Yeah. It's a little heavy for an appetizer, too. Like, an appetizer, like, that's like a meal. Okay.

You are not allowed to say this. First of all, you're not allowed to say this. That's an opinion somebody else could have, but I refuse to watch you say that. I don't, finger ability, I say that's huge.'s that's huge because like it's mac and cheese you can eat with your hands that's great oh yeah that's pretty sweet um i don't get it often but it's i'd say it's in my top top eight maybe and i was gonna say 10 but i'm like i think it's up there it's just i'd rather have regular mac and cheese. He's right. Like I want, like,

like Zach does every weekend. I want copious amounts of mac and cheese when it's in ball form. You only get like four or five of those guys. That's like almost a small, it kind of takes away from like the mac and cheese. Like it's always weirdly kind of just congealed in the middle. Cause they have to make it super cold. And so it never really warms all the way through. It's never as ooey and gooey as you'd like it. I mean, it's good. The next word of the year is congealed in the middle because they have to make it super cold and so it never really warms all the way through it's never as ooey and gooey as you'd like it i mean it's good don't get me

wrong word of the year is congealed uh also it's always made with the mac and cheese that's just like easy mac which is like fine but i like there's no variety there i feel like they're missing out on shells there's a lot of things they could be doing and they're not doing that's true i'd say c i say i say c oh i still like i was thinking b i was thinking b it's on you think it's below the blooming onion yeah it's you'd put you'd put on the same level of sliders i would put it on b all right we can do b so i can do i'll i'll buy by b i would rather have a blooming onion than mac and cheese bites but i'm fine with it being in b i would

split the difference and say they're exactly the same to me but sliders are garbage so yeah sliders are sliders being c really pushes mac and cheese balls up to the b category that's what it is and we're we're finding our grading scale we're finding it all right just like as a corey had to set out one of these because he just never orders it i don't think i've ever had this in my life but they're always there and they seem disgusting to me but everyone loves them uh famously we're throwing around uh 712 legacy a lot jalapeno poppers oh um yeah yeah they're good they're fine like fine no defenders here yeah they're fine nice little kick to them they're always like froze they're never defenders here? Yeah, they're fine. Nice little kick to them. They're always like frozen.

They're never making them fresh back there. They're always buying them frozen. The fresh jalapeno poppers are gas. The one you can kind of like just make yourself, put some cream cheese, mix a little bacon, put a little cheese on there and like split them open. But I mean, yeah. I'm thinking the D to C range over here. I'd say C. I never get them i would i would eat them if people got them but i never get them i feel like we won't have a giant pretzel yes it's better than the giant pretzel i feel like i kind of move sliders down to d

we move sliders down to d cory you're all right with that i'm okay with that so yeah but all right all right hold on this is shift everything. Are we shifting down the Mac balls that we just said got forced up because sliders were on C? I'm standing firm. Mac and cheese is a stay at B tier. I will put jalapeno poppers at C then. Jalapeno C.

Sliders move down to D. This is a fun one because, man, people are getting bumped. You're not set in stone. Just because we graded you once doesn't mean we can't come around and just knock you off your high horse. Or middle of the ground horse with the sliders. Man, sliders taking a pounding from C to D. Quick.

Get them down to hell ranking soon enough. All right. Again, I don't eat these. So do the heavy lifting. Fried pickles. Oh, good. Very good. F.

No. Oh, what? No, I'm not a pickle guy. Claire. Honestly, there's a, I think 80% of the reason Claire's marrying me is because she gets the pickle off my plate anytime anything comes with a pickle. So divisive. 20% my personality 80 that uh zero percent

looks so i don't i i guess to brian's point i would sit this one out but because it sounds like zach really wants to put it high i can't let that stand i feel it's such a it's a polarizing one that's what i'll say yeah so like i'd put it a i would do i love pickles and fried pickles. I put it A. Can I feel it in both the A tier and the F tier? Can you make a new tier? Can you make the agree to disagree or the pregnant lady tier? Oh my God, yeah. Make a pregnant lady tier. Yes, yes.

Where is that in relation to the other tiers? Right below S. No, it's got to be right in the middle. Okay, right in the middle. Yeah, right in the middle. It's a new column. It's just its own chart yeah make that the point we got guys we got rid of e and we added a pregnant lady this is gonna be great we're gonna have a new grading scale man 2023 could be the year all right so fried pickles is in the plt uh category

correct uh moving on uh back to a favorite of some chinese food uh zach wanted me to not put just chinese food appetizers on here so i had to pick something specific so i went with the egg roll good i feel like that's like the one you get at a chinese food restaurant that doesn't really go other places except you get like the southwest egg roll every once in a while chili's its own little twist yeah i'm in i'm in i just i do love chinese food appetizers um honestly you could have you could put rangoon you could have put dumpling and i would say minimum it's gonna be a for me i feel like yeah see i mean they always slap, they always slap. They do always slap. They're always pretty consistent, too.

If we had Rangoons on here, I would fight to the death to put Rangoons above Eggrolls wherever we were. So if Rangoons were on here, I'd fight for them to be S if we were to put them in A. I would say A or B for Eggrolls. My thing with Eggrolls is they're always expensive for some reason. And you get such little food.

You get one cut in half and it's like 12 dollars i'm calling you out i'm calling you out your bullshit right now i'm gonna look up yummy yummy chinese food down the street sorry i don't know i'll correct myself not a chinese food restaurant if you get like a buffalo chicken egg roll somewhere or a like southwestern egg roll somewhere yeah yeah yeah yeah chinese food you can't go wrong but when it's like the bougie version of it, it's garbage. Well, yeah.

Oh, yeah. So you're saying A tier for egg roll? I'd say, Zach tossed out B. I'd go B with it. Okay. I'm going with B.

Okay. And since you requested it, Rangoons, let's fight. A. I don't think they're that good. Heavy A. They're not that good.

I think A. They're so good. Just end your point. fight. I don't think they're that good. They're not that good. I think A. Just end your point. I can't really. It's just like the sexual nature of the Crayon Rangoon that just speaks to my soul. It shouldn't be good. It's fake crab and cream cheese fried in a wonton dipped in sweet and sour hot mustard. I can't defend it,

how that would be good, but it just fucking is. Put it in a pie-able shape to squeeze your giant mouth around it. It your lips, your inside of your mouth, and you go back for more every stinking time. Yeah, I will say there's no reason it should be good, yet it's without a thought anytime we get Chinese food. It's like I don't even remember picking it, but it just shows up every single time without a doubt. Because this food is so weird, what are your thoughts on putting it into the PLT? But pregnant ladies can't have fish. I thought they can't have shellfish or fish.

But it's fake. It's fake. It is fake. Do we know any pregnant ladies we can call? Or former pregnant ladies? can call or former ladies noelle i mean yeah jess badia yeah our parents true also that okay we should get we should get one of them on the line eventually we can keep going all right so rangoons to be determined we're going to call somebody in the meantime i'm going to put it in the X tier.

Put it with Wolverine, Storm, all them bad boys. You don't know what they are. We'll figure it out at some point. All of it. X-ray. Yeah. From holes. Xylophones.

Xylophone. All right. What are your guys' thoughts on shrimp? Cocktail, coconut, any appetizer? Cold shrimp, not on board. cold shrimp not on board hot shrimp on board but hot fried shrimp not on board again so i'm very i'm very low on these guys i i will say the only time i have shrimp is if rooks's dad over seasons it at a at a tailgate or if my mom makes it on um on christmas eve so i would i i never never get shrimp maybe if i'm at like by the sea and it's like there but no i i think this is i think this is d easily unless somebody tells me otherwise i i'm on board with D, but I don't know if you're going to defend it, Zach.

Oh, I fucking love shrimp, boys. Of course he does. I love shrimp. We have, so shrimp is one of our- Shrimp cocktail? Oh, it's one of our go-to appetizers at any family function. Like, we always have, like, fat shrimp

and shrimp cocktails. I haven't had, I love hot shrimp, too. Like, you go to Bubble Gump's and you get, like, the bucket of, like, steamed shrimp, seasoned shrimp. I like fried shrimp. I'm not here to say it's the best shrimp. i don't think it's like for an appetizer like b it doesn't need to be yeah do you order it at a restaurant see that's what i'm thinking like i

more have it at family functions that we buy like very rarely do i order it at a restaurant like a super fancy seafood restaurant i know the shrimp be bussing bussing for real no cap like um so okay none of it i'm down to put it in like d or c i'm down for either of those i okay based on the i like the qualifier of like would you order this i don't think i've ever ordered shrimp as an appetizer yeah like i'll go with silver i'll go with d that's fine i'm on board with d i'm on board with d all right boys we have uh we have some people to call oh multiple not the people not the people we want to oh no no no no no we got one oh buddy is here oh ah oh crap hopefully this audio is set up hello hey jess hey so uh we're tier listing appetizers, and we got a question about crab rangoon.

Because we didn't know if we wanted to put it. Crab what? Rangoon. What? I don't even know what that is. You don't even know what that is? No. Oh, no.

Zach, explain what crab rangoon is. It's fake crab with cream cheese that's put in a wonton wrapper and deep fried, and then you eat it with sweet and sour sauce or hot mustard. It's a Chinese food. Yes. I'm going to be honest. That sounds pretty gross. Yes.

Exactly your point. So we're trying to decide whether we can put it in the weird pregnant lady food category, or if you can't eat that when you're pregnant because it's sort of fish um you know i'm probably not the right person to ask because i don't eat fish to begin with oh fair well we tried i have no idea i know you can only have a certain amount of like magnesium from the tuna or whatever or whatever it. I don't know if that's magnesium, whatever it is called. So you have to have like limited fish, but I don't really know. But you can still eat it, just small amounts.

Yeah. Like I think the limit was like, I could only have like a tuna sandwich like once a week. It was something like that. Okay. All right. Five crab rangoons a week it was something like that okay all right five crab rangoons a week what it's like five crab rangoons a week could you save it up over an entire pregnancy and just like one day while you're pregnant have like 55 uh tuna sandwiches no definitely not no okay but also wait does it have real crab no's fake crab. That's why we don't know if that's better or worse. But what do you mean by fake crab? Is it like chicken?

Chicken of the sea, baby. What is fake imitation crab? I think it's like white fish that they paint red to make look like crab. I'm not even joking. So I would say probably has to be limited. white fish that they paint red to make look like crap. I'm not even joking. Yeah. So I would say probably has to be limited.

Oh, so we can put it in there. On the board. I think that's an answer. Limited, but on the board. Yeah, something like that. But also that's disgusting. I don't think anyone who's pregnant would eat that. When I get pregnant, I'm going to eat it all the time.

You're going to throw up as well. Thank you, Jess. Your homework for the week? Buy some crab rangoon and give it to Amari. We'll buy her some. We'll send her some. Send her some crab rangoon. We'll send you some crab rangoon. Send us your address

and we'll send you some crab rangoon. And the garden. Please don't. It's written down on my phone. It's going to happen. No, no. I'm good. But also, you guys should probably not leave the

eating pregnancy questions to me because I ate everything I wasn't supposed to eat. Well, we're going to call someone else after this who also doesn't have a lot of information and we'll see if you guys all agree. All right. Thank you, Jess.

Thanks, Jess. Bye, Jess. Bye. So when we send her crabbering goon, can we say that she just got gooned? Cause that's fantastic.

Yeah. Oh, we goon all of our friends. This year is the year of the goon in, not the year of the sloppy joe in. It's like instead of icy people, you goon them. You goon them. People, yeah. You have to chug sweet and sour sauce and then put five rank goons in your mouth and

hope that you don't have to go to the hospital because you cut the top of your mouth. Exactly. That sounds terrible. All right. We're going to go with opinion number two oh here we go and we're gonna get them on a board for another another appetizer too just uh get some more people in here stank engine hello hello all right uh how much pregnancy knowledge do you have um well i just finished birthing my sixth child nice okay did it live so not much okay uh do you know crab rangoon uh yeah okay the last person didn't so good job do you think you can eat that while you're pregnant because it is like a type of fish right

um i say send it but i'm not a doctor yeah you can eat it but you might also have a miscarriage so like send it i mean with the changes in abortion law there you go that might be a tip to write down yeah crab ring sales going through the roof all right i figured you had no idea but like wanted to call you and then also i need your opinion uh the next thing we're going to rate is a pigs in a blanket Tommy how do you rate it give it a tear um

I rate it one pig in a blanket so very good all right bye bye Tommy you're giving me nothing but come on all right pigs in a blanket we just got i they're not a restaurant thing i know this is so now based off of the shrimp thing i'm torn because it's like it's great it's so good and i would put it at a but i've never gotten it at a

restaurant i've never ordered pigs in a blanket it's just been there they're at restaurants it's just very rare and they're usually like the real bougie ones for some reason which doesn't make any sense but they're there this is this might cause a fight oh no it's because we put shrimp on d and i would like to put it higher than d oh i'm i like pigs in a blanket. Yeah, but I feel like shrimp is also like a it's like a foo-foo-y thing. I feel like not, I feel like more restaurants would be willing to sell pigs in

a blanket. I feel like shrimp is a scarcity issue. You can't get good shrimp. Anyone could make pigs in a blanket. So I feel like restaurants could make it. It's just like, I don't know. I give it like a C or B. You guys ever had the big pig in the blanket where you wrap a whole hot dog in a croissant roll? it so i feel like restaurants could make it it's just like i don't know i give it like a i give it like c or b you guys ever had the big pig in the blanket where you wrap a whole hot dog in a

croissant roll and have just the big ones very good that's just a just a hot dog my guy what are your thoughts about lab grown pigs in a blanket it's called a hog and a duvet uh i don't know just nothing to do well obviously to do with this but i just looked up we only have one item on a and it's rolls so great this is great a we have nothing do you have anything on s no nothing on but i remember i saved a lot of the really good ones till the end because i didn't want us to throw a bunch on s at the beginning brother i hope because we are this is a this is a middle of the ground heavy draft i'll go we got a couple we'll go b pigs in the blanket i yeah i think b b is blooming onion mac and cheese bites egg rolls or we could put it on c which is jalapeno poppers

yeah let's do c by itself right now c c that's a c i'm fine with that's like that's like it's like super bowl tier yeah yeah it is it's like just the quality quantity of it is the thing that makes it there's just gonna be a million of it it's not actually great but there's a million of it that's true all right uh the cousin to the blooming onion should have done it right after but uh onion rings where you guys at i mean it feels irresponsible to put it... It's B or less, first of all. That's what I have to say about it. I agree. Really?

I was going to say it's higher. I thought based on the thing before... It's the same thing. But you guys were crapping on the Bloomin' Onion. But it's like more... I get more onion flavor and I get more coating. It doesn't come off. If you'll read back

or listen back, I put it higher because of the presentation for the Blooming Onion. I think they're the same exact thing. I think it's B or C. You can make an onion tower though. You can put it on a burger too. You could put multiple Blooming Onions on top of each other and make

a tower. That'd be irresponsible. And at at outback they do put the blooming onion petals on burgers they do but not the whole blue that's the whole blooming onion though what are they afraid of boom i mean they're not gonna put a whole onion ring tower on a burger well if i pay them enough they'll put a whole blooming onion enough to so blooming onion is what b blue is b then we should put c tier no b it's got to be the same i'm not i'm not i'm not doing anything less than b cory are you fine with c i mean i'm fine with c because again i would have put it at c but presentation bumped into b it's it's worse it's worse than the blooming onion that's fine that's fine it's it's less flavor this is the problem

because onions are only made at outback so they perfected the blooming onion whereas that's fine it's it's less flavor this is the problem because onions are only made at outback so they perfected the blooming onion whereas that's fair the blooming onion whereas i would say that the land based on what we said about seats here currently the super bowl thing i feel it's people don't do it because it's a deep fried thing but i feel like it's a respectable place to put it i'm not mad about that right i can live with that i'll live with it all right we got a uh we got four ringers at the end but we're gonna go through five different dips real quick love it uh but i'm gonna call i'm gonna call someone again because i said i'd call them so is this thing backwards gonna be crab rangoon. Welcome to the Goon Hotline. We can get some ideas on dips, though.

Hello? There she goes. Hey. Hello? Can you hear us? Yes. Okay. Quick question, and then a second quick question. Thoughts on, can you eat

Crab Rangoon if you're pregnant? Yes, you can. 100%? I mean, I think you can. I think there's like probably you can't have like you know, a bunch of them, but I feel like you can eat it as long as it's cooked fish.

How much is a bunch? I mean, I think i don't i'll say four okay that's a small serving that's a small serving i'm powered out at least so we call we call jess she didn't know what crab rangoon was well he's an idiot lovely thank you we will send that to her we're gonna buy her some crab rangoon so she'll experience it all right we're we're tier listing appetizers though so we got a couple dips to give a tier to we need

some of thoughts between s tier a b c d and f where are you gonna rate buff between S tier, A, B, C, D, and F, where are you going to rate buff chick dip? Is S tier the best? S tier is the best. Yeah, then that one, that there. 100%, nothing ahead of it? Yeah.

No, that's my favorite thing. Do you order it every single time you go to a restaurant? No, because I'm lactose intolerant. How can it be? Steph. Steph. I'll give you the credit, though. You do carry around lactate all the time, though.

So at least you do that. Yeah. Some other idiots who also are on this podcast are lactose intolerant but don't carry around lactate even though they were gifted it for christmas and will still just poop their brains out not throwing shade at anyone who is not here right now um uh cory zack you agreement s tier though buff check it it's yeah it's okay i could fight for a just do the i feel like it's not available at a lot of restaurants, but I'll leave it at S. What?

I feel like it is. Okay. It's kind of. It's not everywhere, but it's pretty common. It's more available than the blooming onion. That's a good point.

That's disgusting. I hate that. Oh, no. That is literally the worst thing, the worst app you could get. Do you like fried. Oh, no. That's literally the worst thing, the worst app you could get. Do you like fried onion rings, though? No.

Well, that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I agree to disagree. One plus one is two. We got it. And on that note, thank you, Steph. We love you. Bye, Steph.

Bye, Steph. Yep, bye. So I had buffed chick dip at the end. Come on. We knew those were going to be high. What about spinach dip? Spinach artichoke dip? Dude, it'd be busted, bro.

That's everywhere. It'd be busted. It's good. It'd be hidden. A. It'd be hidden. But aren't the ingredients in spinach dip like spinach and just cheese? Yeah.

What's the spinach do for you? Nothing. It adds the spinach flavor to it. It gives it its name. That'd be like saying, what's the buffalo flavor and the buffalo chicken flavor it's like that's gives it its flavor of buffalo wait is it spinach dip or is it spinach dip i is there a difference i don't order there you can do you can mix and match they're basically like the same thing you can add a category whatever yeah but yes it'd be it'd be hitting a tier it slaps my cheeks over

queso over chips and guac over we didn't get to those yet you dummy i'm just i'm just saying i'm just who says what's your s tier no i say a a we said a oh i will say it's hard it's gonna be hard to find a dip below b for your boy boy. Yeah. That's a good one. Slathered on my chest. Crab dip. This is a rooks question because, you know, Maryland, they know crab dip in football. So I need a. Yeah.

I mean, it's great. It's eight. We said no dips going to be below. I love crab. Shout out crab. Hell yeah. Is that pregnant lady tier, though? Or is the dip... Oh.

Stop putting things pregnant ladies can't eat in the pregnant lady tier. I think you could go buff chick is S and then you put rest of the dips as A. No, there's other dips that go as S that are not buff. I got two more

and we can throw in extras if you got them quick. Salsa. Just chips and salsa b b b b tier yeah so in my head we have rolls at a correct because it's always free you always get it all reliable but the salsa is not for my salsa is never salsa don't be hitting all rolls be hit in way. Some salsa is just like tomatoes chopped up and it sucks. That's true. That's true. But that's why it's B. It's still up there. Depending where you put guac, I'm going to be mad.

Where are we putting guac and chips? I'd say A or S. Hard S. Hard S. The chance of guac being good versus salsa being good? I've had more bad salsa in my life than bad guac. The only bad salsa you ever have is when it comes from the jar and it's the paste. This is the difference.

If you just gave me shitty guac and shitty salsa, I could add salt to the shitty guac and make it taste amazing. I can't add salt to the shitty salsa and make it taste good. That's how I would judge it. That's fair. But guac and make it taste amazing. I can't add salt to the shitty salsa and make it taste good. That's how I would judge it. That's fair. But guac can also just go bad. Salsa doesn't go... Why are you saving the guac, bro? It's S tier.

I'm eating all that shit in one sitting. And they also never give you enough. Because they're expensive. Because it's so good. Because you wolf it down. No, there's not enough. Dude, the Mexican cartels are getting into the avocado game now

because they're more lucrative than selling drugs. I'm just so sad. What appetizer is stopping drug violence? Correct. Because it sounds like guac is. Crab Rangoon, always. All the different races and creeds and religions of food are all coming together i still i say we just keep what's i say keep guac at a with the other dips

i would rather i'd rather if we're gonna do that salsa needs the same b though i will not salsa b it's up and then i'll do it although i do think it's s okay see that's why we're doing A because I think Brian would put it lower. You're going to put it higher and I think A is a respectable place. That's fair. That's fair.

All right. Four last ones. All the heavy hitters. I'm not ready. Mozzarella sticks. We got some listeners who will literally kill themselves if we put this anywhere below A tier.

So their death is on your hands. I don't like them that much, if I'm going to be honest. Dude, nothing. I love I like mod sticks. Nothing is more depressing though than you get a non-stretchy mod stick. Like the cheese somehow doesn't stretch. It's either not hot enough or

it's cooled down or it wasn't hot enough going in the fryer and you just, you can bite it and you can clamp straight through it and nothing is more depressing it's like blue balls of food in my mind this is super blue food blue balls of food blue balls bb tier i think b like i'll say i don't get it really anymore. Like, because there's so many other things. It is. But that's, I do want to put it a little higher because of that. Because it's like the nostalgia.

Because I'll still get them every once in a while. They're a nice little, they're a nice little like toss in of like, yeah, we're going to get this, this. And like, yeah, we'll get the mozzarella sticks. Because like, who doesn't like them? Like, it's just fried cheese. They're never bad. They're just not the best. the ceiling is not high enough they're never gonna make it to the pros they're gonna play d2 college their entire life always play never sniff the combine

they're gonna be euro leagues d leagues you know they're the minors and you always need marinara sauce too like a mozzarella stick is never good enough on its own. Like you never just like, it's never seasoned enough where I can just eat the marinara or the mozzarella stick without dipping it in some sort of sauce. That's true. And I would say if it is seasoned enough, you're at too bougie of a restaurant to be getting mozzarella sticks. Correct. That's true.

Regular food. Guys. Where are we putting this? I like this. I think all of them. Not B. I think B. I think B. I think b i think b i think b

i'm on the low end of that but that's fine all right three left wings as a category i would say boneless and bone in any of them just all of them top down appetizer though i think you gotta go s i was gonna say a because i because dude if i'm order wings as an appetizer is also kind of like the blue balls of food because i just want more wings then like i just want wings for my total meal like i don't never want to share ability on wings is a zero is a negative five because i want to eat them all to brian's point of it has to be an app because i do that where it's like okay i'm just gonna get wings as my meal and if we're gonna remove that as a factor of the voting and tiering then i'm okay with a i think that's completely fine exactly that's the only thought i had other than i love wings was you order appetizer there's six of them you're not sharing that with anybody and even as a meal for yourself

not nearly enough so but you can't disrespect it it It's going in at A tier. I could talk for a while about wings, as we know, but I do want to take this moment to look back at our board. Sponsors. And say that we currently have no F and we did say pretzel was D or F. Okay. Well, we can go back and close ranks and we also have fried pickles as A slash F slash pregnant lady tier. It's kind of all over the place. So we'll figure. We can go back and close ranks, and we also have fried pickles as A slash F slash pregnant lady tier.

It's kind of all over the place. So we'll figure... No, Hushpuppies are F, by the way. Hushpuppies are F. Check your facts. Oh, I didn't write that one down. You're right. That was the one I noticed.

There we go. All right. Two left. We're on loaded fries slash tater tots slash just regular fries. But you know, the appetizer version usually kind of has some extra accoutrement on top you know now does this think we're gonna get to another one that i know is the final hitter does this include tachos like where do tachos fall yes this includes that's that's tater tots with like sour cream salsa cheese on top yeah bacon yeah yes that's loaded tater tots in my head oh that's this is gonna be irresponsible i know this

is this gonna be tough because i don't think it's that great of an appetizer by itself i would because like i would rather get loaded fries with like my burger or something. I don't see it as an appetizer. But you can't get loaded fries as a side. You have to get it as an app and then get a burger, I feel like. The amount they give you is always incredible, which is great. So it has to be shared. But when you say loaded fries, though, I'm thinking of just kind of the bullshit of they drizzle the shitty cheese, the sour cream, and then a couple bacon bits on top, and that's

their loaded fries. That's why I asked if tachos were on there because like tachos think of the good version of loaded fries don't think of the worst version of it as you can that's fair in my head these are s tier because one fries are tater tots by themselves i would say maybe s tier probably a tier and then you throw a little bunch of nonsense on top too, and that makes them just that much better. I would think... Question. Does poutine count into this? Because that's

like loaded fries, basically. It's a stretch. I think it's a specific type of loaded fry. We could have it as its own category, but for sake of time, toss it in here. Okay. So with that being the case i think it has to be a minimum like i think i agree a minimum i'm trying to push for s yeah i don't i'll do a i'll do it's fine i don't i don't think s for the sole fact of like because i don't get it too much as an appetizer because it's like i'm

gonna get it as a i'm gonna get fries as a side or tater tots as a side because they are fantastic so like i don't want to order it as an app that's a fair point if you're getting a full entree too you usually get in fries i think that's more of a we're only they get a couple apps and some drinks that's the one you get that's fine that's fine all right last one they would let let me know if i missed one and this isn't the one you're expecting but nachos loaded nachos giant plate everything on top s s here like are you a soggy soggy chip or a hard hardship give me that the center bro soggy yeah i'm a soggy guy soggy boy oh how are we not i thought we were all soggy boyos come on brian i don't mind them every once in a while but like you know i got a

little crunch this sometimes the soggy ones just like creep me out man here's the thing because i i think you know life's about balance i think i would if i'm tier tier listing them i think it's a soggy one for sure but i need you gotta have the crunch in there because you gotta have some some like uh some uh integrity structural structural integrity to to it so you can't have just only one like if they came out with just soggy nachos i'd be like but like yeah i would pick soggy over the hard nachos but you gotta have both if you could just order soggy nachos that'd be nasty there's like a vat of water they're like dumping in first oh i was thinking they're like we marinated this in our

cheese all day here you go it's just like all i mean i'd be on board with that but i'm think it's always the ones at the bottom that have like the salsa juice that they're sitting in that are like you know fair hey i like that guys we did a good job i think yeah no controversy here rook's gonna show up next week in the very beginning of the episode and just completely tear us apart he's gonna be like we had a horrible tier list. I'm going to run through it real quick. Let me know if you want to change anything. Otherwise, we're getting out of here.

Starting at the top, S tier, nachos. B tier, mozzarella sticks. A tier, wings. C tier, pigs in a blanket. All the dips, spinach dip, A. Buff chick dip, S. Crab dip, A. Salsa, B.

Guac, A. Loaded fries or tater tots, A tier. Onion rings, C tier. Sliders, D tier. Hush puppies, the only one in the F tier. Rolls, A tier. Bloomin' onion in the B tier. Giant pretzel all the way down in the D tier. Mac and cheese bites, B tier. Jalapeno poppers in the C.

Fried pickles, we got A slash F slash pregnant lady tier. It's its own category. Egg rolls in B. Crab rangoons, I have as an X. I don't think we actually picked anything on that and then shrimp we have in d so we need to figure out crab rangoon real fast pregnant lady yeah i think the pregnant lady because it is it's polarizing it's a it's a fried pickle experience people love it people hate it pregnant ladies eat it yeah boom put that on a t-shirt. Also, beloved people hate it.

Pregnant ladies eat it. Also, loaded baked potato skins, F tier. Trash. Oh, yeah. Why do you want the butt of the food?

That's like having the butt piece of bread as appetizer. Right? Yeah, get gooped up cool Outro Music
