Let's all go to CityWalk, tonight, tonight. Podcast The Ride presents the CityWalk Saga, a daily, 19-part, extremely necessary series exploring the stores, restaurants, and wonderful magic that make up Universal CityWalk Hollywood. Hello, welcome to Podcast The Ride, The CityWalk Saga, Sector 10. It's like a super-size me, but with zero points joining us. As always, the increasingly beleaguered me, Scott Gairdner, Mike Carlson. I'm feeling good. Oh, great.

Congrats. I'm trying to take some of your luster and Jason Sheridan. I feel good because this is now we're a little over halfway done. Right? 19 sectors, 10. Oh, that's exactly it. Yeah, we crossed the boundary at 9.5. Yeah.

It's like a marathon now where we know we've hit the midpoint in the marathon and now you know well i did this many surely i can do the same amount so like i'm figuring i'm feeling good it seems like scott has hit the part of the marathon where he went i don't want to finish the marathon well i might have hit it in sector two okay fair i might have maybe i'm a maybe i'm a quitter and yeah you're right about looking at distance, but I'm looking ahead to when we inevitably do CityWalk Orlando. Yes.

Downtown Disney. Yes. Anaheim. Downtown Disney. And then like Orlando. And then like the out. Disney Springs. Disney Springs we did, but like not.

Oh, sorry. Oh, I thought Disney. I'm getting them all confused. There's too many malls clattering around in my brain. Sad man. Yeah. Disney Village is the Paris one, but we covered that plenty. I also heard that they were going to redo Disney Village soon, maybe.

That's like part of the plans. Oh, right. That's right. To spruce up the- So much money going into that park. So we'll have to do that again. But somebody, oh, yeah. All right. Well, pack going into that park. We'll have to do that again. But somebody, oh yeah, all right. Well, pack your bags to France, everybody.

We're just visiting. Whoa, whoa, whoa. He's here. The sector keeper's back. Boys, don't go to France. Oh, no, why? Because I need you. Oh, yeah.

You're halfway there. You're halfway there. You're right. We have to focus on one set of sectors at a time. You're looking so much better, sector keeper. Thank you, yes. My color's filling in, and I've put on some weight.

You were a little emaciated before, so I'm not going to say that's a bad thing. Will you give me strength, and you fill the void that was my soul. I have a sector assignment. Please discuss Sector 10. Of course. Menchies, Flip-Flop Shop, Cinnabon, Lids.

Okay. Another wall-heavy one. Here's a quick thing, Sector Keeper. We have a future guest coming up, Nick Mundy. Do you know Nick Mundy? Have you heard? I mean, you can't watch the internet or anything or Twitter. I've heard of him.

Oh, you've heard of him? Yes. Okay, well, that's great. He's coming on the show soon and he actually asked me if we can just move lids to sector 11. Whoa.

So we're going to move... What? He wants... He was just saying he wanted to talk to... Like he talked about lids because he had a sort of affection and he said it would be great

if they were both in the same... Is that okay? The sector keeper is looking for ways to make this okay but i can tell right away it's not okay he looks upset and i am indignant okay okay so he's trying to annex it into his sector that nick mundy texted me and he said can we do lids and because he wants to do the Raider image, which is also part of Sector 11. And he just said, can't they both play? They're so close to each other. First of all, why is he communicating with both of us separately?

I gave him the list and he said I'd be into Raider Store or Lids, the word or. I sent him the list and he said, how about Raider Store? And now suddenly he's pulling another one. Nick Mundy has plenty of avenues to talk about hats. He does not need to pull his hat obsession. I agree. To double up into, yes. Does Nick Mundy want my soul in hell?

I probably. Evidently. I don't know. This kind of cowboying around might work on Tiger Town or whatever his show is called. But that Texas cowboy stuff doesn't fly here. That doesn't fly in the walk. For one thing, there's a gap between the Lids and the Bucca di Beppo. Yes.

There's an entryway. There's not even stores there. There's a taxi stand. Yeah. Yeah. Are we now saying that- This is in America Samoa. Could he-

Yeah. yeah yeah are we now saying america samoa could you know yeah well he's still got the spirit of the of the texans that were they were robbing the land from different it was part of mexico i don't know the history some of texas got stolen right and monday's yes uh monday's operating with that level of uh callousness all right so i mean what do? Am I going to tell him no? You're going to tell him that there is a special boy who has laid down ground rules and that no guest has required any changing of the rules. Everyone has fallen in line. And why is he special enough?

Look, he's a nice guy. He was the best man at my wedding i i look he's fine but that doesn't give him god powers bad man bad man okay all right well i'm glad there is at least three-way agreement but i guess the choice isn't yours mike Mike, but can you really, in the face of this... I didn't think it was a big deal, but if, look, I don't want to put a ghost boy into an earlier grave. Into a different kind. Different type of eternal grave. The sector keeper's rules are laws, and I'm assuming he got that plain snapback hat he's wearing.

The one that's like kind of darkish blue but it doesn't have any logo on it it's like a character wears in a movie when they're trying to lay low and you're like where did they just find that plain baseball cap that fits them perfectly he's wearing one of those this whole time did you get that at lids he's like the sparkies of earth oh no you're equating nick mundy he's now one of the the biggest villains of this 19 part series okay well look i don't disagree i hate to throw the guy under the bus as i said a lot of good marries a good guest before but um i just i don but I don't like making demands. Here's what I'll say.

We will do everything we can to stop him from talking about lids. Okay. We will do our best to stop him from talking about lids. He is a wild man. If he starts talking, I don't know what will happen, but we will do our best. I think a little of what's happening. He was on the show. If you didn't hear his episode, he talked about Astroworld.

And there was a lot of back and forth about whether or not he's a bully. He's defending himself against charges of being a bully. And I feel like he is bullying this series, and he's bullying the poor little sick dying sector right i'm already dead oh that's right dying more so that sounds like that unstoppable force that is nick monday has not yet or he has met him i've met him but he hasn't yet met the immovable object that is jason sheridan in city walk you did you call yourself the immoable object yeah wow like the blob or the junk or not if we're talking x-men rules i mean the blob jason sharon is the blob or the juggernaut man and he's shoto the ready player one

key chain do you remember a week ago shoto is whispering in my ear right now and it is such a string of foul-mouthed vulgarity i don't even want to repeat it let's not put him on mic so here's what like here's what we're gonna do we are going to talk about lids if nick mundy is successfully able to shush us and get in a good maybe i don't know i like now i'm worried he's gonna like tie us all up or something take the mics go into another room in your apartment and do his lids material i'm looking through uh i'm looking through the sacred scrolls that you showed me before we started recording today that say the sectors on them and now i'm reading sort of the the after. They're written on Popcornopolis wrappers.

Yes, exactly. The scrolls have been written on the Popcornopolis wrappers. And it says that he who talks about sectors out of order or stores that are in different sectors, add length, add nauseam, can destroy the order of the sectors and throw them into disarray, creating new sectors that would reformat CityWalk in a totally different way. The space-time continuum, the sector-time continuum into an alternate tangent where corrupt leaders run rampant yes he's a biff he's a monday is a biff tannin and we got to stand up to him tomorrow and get the almanac back right because god knows what would happen all of a sudden a sector is margaritaville and it's sugar they're

not even anywhere close to each other no or you would break up the sector order where the Hard Rock Cafe retail store is in a different sector than the Hard Rock Cafe which is very important because those are the numbers that the official CityWalk map gave us you can't have the Hard Rock Cafe and the Hard Rock Cafe store together is Mundy insane

he might be insane the lines were drawn with my blood we're going to do our very best we're gonna do our very best to stand up to this bad man i had a choice be a donor or draw the maps at least your blood was given to something useful yeah not just some guy who would have wasted it please boys do your best okay well the best thing that we can do is to do our Lids material right now. Here's what's in my list. The hats on the outside of the Lids glow.

That's the end of my Lids material. Mine just says a lot of hats. So I'm tapped. A lot of hats. Let's move on. Mike, you got anything quick? I'd love to tell you guys that I bought 10 hats and wore them to various events. I did not.

I walked in. I said, a lot of hats here. And I was done. All right. All right. Lisa's done. Moving on. So if Mundy has more to say, he better keep it to his fucking self and his cats.

Your gravity gave me strength. He can do it on his Tiger Town podcast or whatever. Yeah. Do your Patreon only Lids spectacle, but not here. We also, by the way, we already did Locker Room by Lids. Yes.

We're going to try to annex that next. And in a different sector. Locker Room by Lids is in sector 9. And Lids is in sector 10. I think you should post a screenshot of the text and just

so that our fans can look at it and you know, see the forceful, frightening language. I can provide a JPEG. Oh wow, okay, thank you so much. You can do the power of a phone screenshot? Yes. Wow, you're

certainly magical. God, some people just want to watch the world of a phone screenshot? Yes. Wow. You're certainly magical. God, some people just want to watch the world burn, you know? Mm-hmm. It's true. Well, when things are heating up, you got to cool down with some delicious Menchies. Yes. Menchie. Sector Keeper, is that a favorite of yours?

I love Menchies. So there's a Menchie boy on the front. There's like another kind of fun kid type character. This one's a little more fantastical. He feels like a candy person from Candyland or something. Brother. Oh, really? He is your literal brother?

Just sort of like a guy that you pal around with and is like a best friend of yours? A literal brother, yes. He was my brother, yes. He was. Or is he, Menchie is still alive? Yes yes was or he meant she is still alive the boy the boy Menchie is still alive yes the boy who lived Menchie yes the boy in your family's uh lineology yes lineage and Menchie is generally because there's a lot of Menchie's around here

there was a frozen yogurt by craze in Los Angeles I feel like started by pink berry a little bit and then menchie's kind of emerged as the maybe the more popular one there used to be a yogurt land is that the same space same space yogurt land gave way to menchie and if that special little boy can rise and reign triumphant then so can you sector keeper oh thank you yeah i believe in you um and and the men she's as i said there's a there's like a boy character and it's like his full body most of the men she's just have his head and like when the locations around los angeles but this is a full body but a very small interior location so a great nice kind of out like excuse me like exterior of the building

but again a very limiting small area for you to actually go around, get frozen yogurt, and get your toppings. Yeah. One thing I noticed about this place, and I think this is actually most Menchies have this available. But especially this one, it felt like they were really pushing it. And I think I know why. And I sent it to you guys. There is like a giant floor-to-ceiling window decal that says uh pineapple dole whip sorbet slash float oh that's right and it's on the website too but i mean in a theme park adjacent setting

that shot's fired i mean come on that's shots fired at disney right like the one of the homes of the dole whip i believe they used to advertise do as, like, you can only get it at the Dole Plantation or at Disney World or at Disneyland. Now, it's everywhere. I don't know what exclusivity or licensing changed, but, like, Dole Whip is everywhere. But it was a little jarring for me to see, like, a Dole Whip advertisement at Universal, you know? So it's upsetting you a little bit.

I suppose. It would be like seeing like a butterbeer at Disney. Oh, at Disney? Yeah. If it was like, what would they call it? What would Disney's version of it be? Like, it's just a cream soda, basically. Woody Sweet Sarsaparilla.

Oh, that's good. Right? I wouldn't complain if that showed up. Hey, pretty good. Yeah, that was good. We're putting each other off. I got no problem. Man, that's pretty, yeah.

We should go to you for more ideas for drinks and treats. Yeah, you should. That's the mayor's thing. They should consult. I would love an expensive consulting fee for minimal work. That would be a good mayor thing, though, is the mayor gets to name all the treats and his ideas get to be brought into the world. Would you settle for being the mayor of CityWalk

if Disney doesn't work out? And I think it will, but... I think so. I think I would take that on. They're good people there. You know, they need a strong leader. And you tell them you know the sector keeper when you're in.

Well, sure. I'm happy to put a good word in. Oh, hey, I mean, that's a big endorsement coming from you, sector keeper. Sure, sure. Letter of recommendation written in your blood? Absolutely. If there's some left, yes. It's got to be just a quick trip, I hope.

My last thought on Menchie's is that I don't like do-it-yourself frozen yogurt. I don't like putting the toppings on myself. I want them to do it for me. Out of laziness or frozen yogurt i don't like putting the toppings on myself i want them to do it for me out of laziness or out of you don't trust yourself i trust myself but i feel that it's more fun when i get handed a thing that's been sort of constructed versus something that i put together because it always like it looks worse i don't have the technique that someone working there might have jason's looking at me very suspiciously. No.

You disagree. You are wrong. Yeah. Okay. Because frozen yogurt is nothing more than a topping delivery mechanism. Right? I disagree with that. That's a crazy statement to say. I mean, I like frozen yogurt, but I'm never like, oh, I just want some plain frozen yogurt.

I want the toppings, baby. That's crazy. I want it to get real. I want a lot of toppings. Come on. What do you mean, come on? Come on. You would have just a regular frozen yogurt. Maybe if you're at a TCBY in 1994,

but nowadays, it's a topping world, baby. I like toppings. I like putting toppings on frozen yogurt, but it's crazy to say that no one would want regular frozen yogurt. I was going to say loaded up, but again, frozen yogurt i want i was gonna say load it up but again i'm conscious that it's per weight pricing uh i want it loaded up bring your own personal scale to make sure before you get to the front and mine is rigged trust me um that doesn't make sense

because it would fuck you over no it's rigged to be let never mind um i want i see it's higher so you trick yourself with it i see jason shaves off the bottom of the bowl, like the little extra paper part, which saves you, which gives you like three cents off of the weight. Yeah, I'm no fool. And you attach a tiny balloon as you put it on the scale. Yeah, yeah. So it's just a little scale. But I'm loading up with toppings and I want a soup.

It's frozen yogurt I find melts quickly. So it becomes topping soup pretty quickly. It does. I agree a soup. It's melt. Frozen yogurt I find melts quickly. So it becomes topping soup pretty quickly. It does. I agree with that. But the idea that it's just toppings and you don't want the yogurt to be good is insane. No, I want the yogurt to be good too, but I'm there for the toppings. Why is it either or? It's somewhere in the middle.

I didn't say it's either or. I said it's in the middle. I'm just saying what he's saying is crazy. He's calling me crazy for not wanting to do it myself which i don't think is crazy because i like a pink even though pinkberry has its problems i like somebody giving me a nice like sort of constructed little dessert it's aesthetically pleasing to me i can't argue with the aesthetics well that's all i was i like that too so all right yeah i don't know control your own ratio though with uh uh you know you You can get things in weird... I want just two gummy worms also.

Because I don't ever buy a bag of gummy worms. Here's just a little extra treat. Almost like a fortune cookie. Unrelated to the meal, but a nice little aftermath. I like to load it up. I mean mean it's hard to mess up frozen yogurt but make design your own burger is kind of it can be a disaster what do you put on it what do i put on it okay so you know i like uh the crushed up like cone pieces

like an ice cream cone yeah yeah i like uh rainbow sprinkles uh gotta go for like a fudge a little fudge a little caramel maybe some peanut butter cups the cookie dough and brownie bites are always disappointing maybe a little bit of fruit but uh but no no no fuck that every now and then i like to get one or two of like the boba or the lychee like because i don't get those a lot but i don't want a lot of them um the boba i can't do after that mini monster i know you're gonna do boba again can you can you guess the weight at menchies i forget wait what do you mean if you guess the weight on the scale before you put it on sometimes

you get a discount really i don't think i've seen that i've never seen that either i certainly don't think a theme park one where the prices are already going to be inflated a little would have that. I thought you were asking Jason if just by holding it in his hand, he would know the exact way. Sometimes I come pretty close. Sometimes I more like the dollars. I bet this is going to be like $2.50. What is your ideal weight for a Menchie's Bolt? I guess that depends on what the price point's going to be. Okay, so you check the price point before

you go into the Menchie's to know how much you're loading up? I try to be cognizant of it. What's the conversion rate these days? Yeah, what is the yogurt conversion? Check the stocks app on the phone. Let me check, has Nikkei opened yet? No, too late. Like a card counter at a casino. They ask you

to leave, but it's not illegal. Not illegal? What am I doing wrong? But the winner stands to gain five extra peanut butter cups. Whoa, that's a jackpot. Those peanut butter cups are heavy. A dollar and ten cents of added value. Oh.

Oh. Oh. All right. Time to. Really? Were you getting tired of that? Oh. Amazed.

Smack down. You're tough crowd, Dr. Keeper. Which way are we going next? I need you boys to venture into Flip Flop Shop. The Flip Flop Shop made famous on the Flex Watches episode of The Prophet. Yeah. Yeah. The Prophet Town.

Yeah. It culminates. That's like the big grand arena, like the final place where those brothers who lost their mom do battle. Right? Yeah. They do like a presentation. They do a presentation with a display case of

their watches where each different design represents a different uh proceeds go to a different charity right yes 10 bands for 10 different charitable causes and if you know if you go into the flip-flop shop today do you see this display no wow geez that was an old profit that was an older one flex watches still in business seem to be doing well uh judging by their online store but i did not see a flex watches display in this flip-flop shop it's very small it's a very small flip-flop shop to even get retail space within the flip-flop shop yeah there's there's almost nothing to work with i feel like maybe businesses should avoid city walk altogether in a lot of cases i think you aren't uh you know my i was just with my friend up there and he proposed the idea in general that maybe sephora like that sephora is probably not the the location making the most money of all

the sephoras but it serves as a big ad for the other sephoras for everybody that's seen by everybody going into the theme park so maybe all of these stores are fronts in a way and advertising for the other stores people are more likely to actually go to that's fair i mean a portion of the people at city walk are tourists so like i think it is good to have just locals doing podcasts not just locals doing podcasts as they slowly crack up uh i think it is like a hat shop flip flops if you're out of town and you're staying at the hilton or the sharon and oh i forgot it's so sunny or i forgot a hat uh or i forgot uh flip-flops let me walk across the the busy uphill street yeah all the way to the end of city walk opposite of the hotels the furthest away and pay 15 more

than i would pay if i took a shuttle to the cvs down the street potentially but you don't know the layout of you know the city adjacent areas yeah not like you don't know the layout of Studio City adjacent areas. Not like you. You've outed yourself as living in this neck of the woods. Oh, yeah. Which narrows it down

for stalkers to find you. Please murder me. Dream of any podcast host. Oh, my. No, I made it. I was murdered by a stalker. I do think like Sephora, and there's probably a lot of truth to the fact that just having a nice big store is a nice ad for it.

But I do think Sephora is a practical thing that plenty of people walk by and go, oh, I need something in there. That makes a lot of sense. There are stores that make less sense to me. Like the guest store makes less sense to me being there. Because it's kind of like high-end shopping. And it minimal inventory to minimal right it's minimal like what are you doing in there sephora actually seems a lot more practical of like i do need something in there i forgot it on the trip or we i ran out of something and people love it uh sephora and starbucks the only two locations i think that are at city walk and downtown disney oh yeah yeah because

my girlfriend lindsey we goes in that sephora every time we're in downtown disney she loves that sephora i have uh been in like i'll be like i'll i'll be i'll be at d street and you'll be in sephora like sorry mom i'll be over in the place where they have the superheroes and star wars stuff while you look for stupid makeup i'll be doing the full void vr experience as soon as you just quickly pop in to get some eyeshadow uh-huh uh you know what you're on your way to uh you're you're at that sephora on your way to the parks you get one of those you get like a like a sample makeover. They do a makeover in the store, and now you look your best for donkey in the park. Or Maryland, if you run into, you know, a star.

If you got some competition, then, you know, like if you're trying to be the prettiest gal in the park. Yeah. Prettier than Maryland. Or the man that's from New York. Yeah, the New York tenement couple who yell at you. Yes, on the second floor, yes.

If you look your best post-makeover, you're less likely to get razzed by the Brooklyn couple in the window that yells at you. Oh, Marone, where are you from, idiot? I don't even think they're legally allowed to call you an idiot. No, they're not. I think they have to be like, silly guy or something. Yeah. That might be the worst thing they can call you.

Pittsburgh Pirates hat. They're not going to beat my Yankees. That's pretty good. That's pretty good dialogue. Yeah, I'd love to do some work for those guys. Where were we? Flip-Flop Shops. Oh, Fallen Brothers.

Flip-Flop Shops used to be the wound and wound toy company oh yeah it was a melrose uh avenue was melrose an avenue or boulevard melrose place in uh who cares it was on melrose and then they moved it to city walk avenue i think avenue the little wind-up shop was a local spot i think so yeah how about that i'm not sure if it's still there but very poorly reviewed on yelp oh i bought someone a little music box there once they liked it yeah huh um i forget the city walk one kind of poorly reviewed as well but there was a review that stood at a great beginning which i will read from very quickly.

The Rolling Stones once sang that you had to start them up. It's true. All great things need a bit of a wind-up. Incredible review. You had to start them up. Webster's Dictionary defines wind as... Also, Mick Jagger, he sings start me up up not start us up and he's speaking for himself i don't know if charlie watts needs to be started up charlie watts seems like he's always asleep

so maybe he i don't think he would like to be started up in any context yeah he looks annoyed to be still playing the drums but i figured out something else by now. And Mick is singing to arouse him, right? That's what Start Me Up means? I guess so. Yes. Start Me Up, I Never Stop. Boy, that was rock lyrics. A lot of hidden messages.

Make me horny and I'll be horny forever, is what he's saying. Or for a long time. I mean, that's what all of it's about, really. You think any wound up toys ever made anybody horny? Well, Sector Keep, I guess I can't, really. You think any wound-up toys ever made anybody horny? Well, sector keep? I guess I can't ask you. You're a child.

That's inappropriate. That's an illegal question to answer, I feel. Right. Just abstain. Just abstain, please. Don't humor. Oh, you know what I missed? Also, Fallen Brothers.

I missed about Lids that it was once something called Shimoni Sterling Silver Jewelry, fallen brothers i missed about lids that it was once something called shimony sterling silver jewelry uh which is still open to this day at the planet hollywood uh shops mall in las vegas the scariest shopping center on the strip it has two and a half stars and the uh pictures of the merchandise look shoddy at best man do you remember sorry if nick mundy speaks equal time about that shop i will allow him to talk about lids as well oh that'll kind of balance it out by doing by bringing history into it yes yes but he has to know about it yes the scales must be balanced okay so we'll ask him if he knows what store was there under it originally

and uh that'll that'll set the universe back in balance 50 50 he knows i think yeah i think it's a good shot um that only leaves cinnabon cinnabon also very poorly reviewed on yelp a lot of one people are mad at this cinnabon in particular and i saw people calling out you talk about the city walk markups i saw a tell of eight dollar cinnabons that don't look aesthetically pleasing from their photos what get out of here to them to that price point oh okay yeah yeah i don't know that's worse than spark i mean nothing's worse than come on. Cinnabons thrive on markups as they are in airports and expensive locations. But I think a Cinnabon, also to put on my profit helmet, I think a Cinnabon probably costs about 22 cents to manufacture.

Great margins on that. Great margins. Very good margins. I think this sector might be in the running again. I know I mentioned others but like this is the most is this the most mall mall sector molly sector it's pretty boring there's a food court of the city city food though is of course like a food court upstairs so that's pretty mall too which is a bad restaurant terrible okay. It's made me ill before.

Pigs, pigs, not the poke place. Oh, okay. The Cinnabon is one of the first things like the main entrance to CityWalk if you're like being dropped off there by a Lyft or an Uber. This is one of the main things when you walk in. It's like here's the Cinnabon. That's the

icon of the park if you're just walking in for the first time. On Ly believe uh uh now they've built in if you're picking up or dropping off there there's like the universal studio stop and then this is like the city universal east stop yes oh different entry points drop offs too yeah well i did this uh my friend Ryan, who I went up with the other day, I was explaining the City Walk 19 part saga to him. And to get up, to have the buildup, we walked from the base of the... He actually went to the taxi stop here. He flagged a taxi down like in New York City and hopped in it and sped away when you were done explaining it uh this this uh person is a uh a graduate of harvard law yale law and is now a uh on track to be a tenured law professor at a university in hong

kong so he's happy his old buddy scott's doing great, just like you guys. We have been to Downtown Disney. We have been to CityWalk. I think we've got a pretty impressive list of credits, too. Yeah, we say stuff like this mall was bad and this mall was good. That's the thing. This Cinnabon price point is unacceptable.

$1.50 for extra icing? No way. And trying to deal with the myriad of like other past city walk establishments is probably as confusing and frustrating as dealing with the mainland chinese government as dealing with chinese human rights law yes yeah i think we're providing complicated relationship they have with hong kong yes yeah yeah uh just as important of a service anyway i described the series to him and then the first thing you see walking it up to that point is like two neon cinnabons which i like i like those neon cinnabons that's one of the best thing i can say

about the cinnabon is that i like the fun neon cinnamon buns um he was he maybe struggled to see how discussion of these things would sustain 19 episodes but all it ryan if you're listening hey you're you're waiting in it proof's in the pudding proof's in the cinnabon frosting 19 parts going down real smooth. So, oh, more Fallen Brothers. Cinnabon used to be something called Benita's Frites. And this was a location specifically for Belgian fries. And that is all that they had, Belgian fries. And this place sounded pretty good. I screenshotted a little.

It was written about in a book. And you could get malt vinegar, red wine vinegar. Wow. Even catsup. Salt, pepper, cayenne, mustard. This is interesting. For a few extra cents, so Jason's out, you could get remoulade sauce spiked with tarragon.

Remoulade? A creamy, did I say it right um a creamy dijon mustard dip uh this place sounds much better than cinnabon first off it's set up jason set up well it's more color in his face uh uh often found on a po'boy sandwich found in nolan's uh delicious sauce preach j Jason preach you had me I mean I was halfway out the door when you said few extra cents but once you got tarragon in there you dance a bad herb I don't I am NOT a tarragon fan I'm a time boy I love the taste of time tarragon no thank you sir

remoulade is already delicious it does not need any pesky tarragon in it god laying down the law testify uh this this is remind me like we mentioned on the uh crepe cafe going really in on those fries with lots of dipping sauce well it's just more which is very european that's the cultured way to eat your fries. Dippin'. Also, from this book, apparently, I screenshotted. Fall of Empire. City walk in America. So, quote the author, not myself.

This is the author talking. David McCullough? I think so, probably. Something called a sauce andalouse, which no Spaniard would recognize, is basically the garlic mayonnaise tinted pink with peppers. So I want to challenge this. If you're listening and you're a Spaniard, and you recognized sauce andalouse before it was defined,

let us know. Hashtag Spaniards know. Prove this author wrong. Prove David. David McCullough. Prove David McCullough wrong. There's a reason they wouldn't recognize it because it wasn't named after the region of Spain. It was named after the pixie song.

The Andalusia. All right, moon. Right? Like U the andalusia high moon right like unchen andalou oh is that what the name of the song is i the movie the short experimental film is unchen andalou and and there's a song based on that i don't know what comes out of the eyeball when it's cut open on the fries? I think that's what the sauce is supposed to be. It tastes like a cut open K-O-I. It was Frank Black's favorite sauce he gave and he cut the ribbon. Good on you, Frank.

It's Debaser. Debaser is the sauce. Okay, alright. I'm sorry. I know Debaser. Does this kind of take us to the end portion of the sector 10? You've given me great strength, boys. Glad to hear it.
