Before we get started though, I had a thought the other day, and it's been with me since.

What do you think the great, personally to you, what do you think the greatest invention in your lifetime is? Now I'm sure that there's something medical that is an obvious answer, you know, a cure to a disease or an improvement. But I'm thinking more just like day to day things that have affected your life. I have got to say, I I'm sure they probably existed in some

form before I was born. Everything did in some form before I was born. Everything did in some way. I was born in 1975. I'm sure they you know what? I'm going to look it up. Fuck it. I always get dinged if I don't. When were headphones invented?

Yeah, 1891 in France, I guess they were invented and then the first civilian broadcast headphones emerged in 1895. So they're a little bit older than I am They've been around for a while But I will say I was I was like eight or nine when the Walkman hit the portable Music player now I realize I'm conflating headphones with that device but I guess the point is, I appreciate the continued technological advancements and improvements in headphones so that I, as a 49 year old guy, can go sit in a coffee shop

where they're blaring some fucking serious XM coffee house channel or they're blaring, you know, some baristas, hot hip hop takes or whatever. I will say I went into a coffee shop the other day and they were playing O'Fegge, which is this African rock band that I really like. I was pretty caught off guard and surprised by that. But, you know, you can go into a place like a coffee shop or go on a bike ride or walk through the mall

or go to the bookstore and pop a couple of wireless earbuds in and program the soundtrack to your day and your experience. And while everybody else is experiencing the world in a completely different auditory way you are having a moment that's completely and totally tailored to you and I fucking love that I love headphones I love being able to take my music with me I think about that a lot clearly they've existed in some form since 1891 but come on on, let's be honest, it wasn't until the 80s

that people were walking around listening to music on headphones in a portable way. And I can't imagine what it must have been like to grow up more than 100 years ago, right? When if you wanted to hear music, you had to go to music. Maybe you had, you know, early phonographs and stuff were probably coming in. But if you think about it, we've had about a hundred, a little over a hundred years where we've been able to bring music into our homes to

listen to without playing ourselves. Right? Used to be if you wanted to hear your favorite piano song, you had to play it on the piano. If you wanted to hear Beethoven, you had to go to a concert where they performed Beethoven. Music wasn't something that could be a soundtrack to your life in the same way it can now. It could if you sang that soundtrack in your head or hummed it along to yourself, or if you are a talented musician and are walking around,

you know, strumming a guitar all day long or whatever, making music, but you couldn't consume it yet. The average person hasn't been able to consume music in such a readily available and convenient way until very recently in human history, which I consider to be a real big fucking deal in terms of like quality of life. Music's really important to me.

I've talked about this before. If I had to pick between video games and TV and music and books and all of the different ways that I entertain myself, I probably would pick music. I'd never read or play a video game again, I think, if I could listen to music. I hope I never have to make that choice, but I'm pretty sure that's what it would be if I did.

Anyway, I really appreciate headphones and I appreciate being able to listen to whatever I want, whether it is a political podcast or a Nirvana album. I get to choose when and where and how I hear it. And I don't know, man, I think that's pretty fucking cool. OK, on to hot dog stories and the Q's and the A's The very first one is from angel. Hey Jeff. Can you rank your reality shows for me? I you know, I just talked a lot about TV last episode. I kind of went through the shows that I'm watching right now This is not a comprehensive list

I will be brief and it's probably wrong and could change day to day because I guarantee you I'm forgetting stuff But number one on my list is temptation Island number two on my list is survivor Number three on my list is the ultimatum Number four is the amazing race and number five is I don't know see I probably love probably love Island, but there's, it's complicated because there's a bunch of shows

that kind, you know, that had like a season. Like there was, there was this show on Peacock where it was like couple to throuple. It was only one season, but it was insane. And if they make another season, I'm definitely watching that. So there's a lot of reality shows, a lot of stuff on Netflix right now coming out.

Like I love Love is Blind. I'd have to find room for there. I'm kind of over Too Hot to Handle and Perfect Match, I think I've had enough of, but definitely still looking for more iterations on The Ultimatum and The Trust and all of the kind of shows that they're pumping out But there you go. This is sort of a list of what I like I will say with a lot of those reality shows if you like survivor for instance or love island

do some rooting around on your streaming services almost every one of these shows has a That's a at least one or two or three other International counterparts that are sometimes. Oh my god the traders Okay, number one is Temptation Island number two is survivor number three is the traders number four would be amazing race Number five is maybe maybe love Island How about that or or the ultimatum? Yeah, I don't know. It's hard. It's a They're all so good, right? You know, I didn't even put Housewives in there, I realize.

Huh, well, I guess that says something about the Housewives, the state of the Housewives today. I wouldn't put any of the Housewives shows I watch in the top five currently. Paul says, did you see that Blink 182's new album includes a song called Fuckface and it's just 27 seconds of the singer saying shut up. You talk too much.

I haven't heard it, but it's definitely been sent to me via social media one billion times. Good for Blink 22, I guess. Here's a hot dog story by Chris. He says, all right, so the best hot dog I ever had was in Ames, Iowa. That's a Shout out to anybody in Iowa or anywhere close to Ames in Iowa hot dog alert. Pay attention He says this would have been 10 years ago or so The cart apparently still exists, but it's under new ownership for a while So I can't speak to the quality now. Hopefully somebody in Iowa can can go check it out and report back to us.

Email addresses, Eric at Jeff's boss dot com. OK, Chris goes on to say this was a weird hot dog and definitely the best hot dog I ever had. It was a stand called Superdog, which had just come out in the Campus town area when people were out of bars. Here's what it had. All right. Buckle in. this is wild. Super dogs are topped with melted Monterey Jack cheese, crispy bacon, crushed potato chips and five sauces, including ketchup, mustard, garlic cilantro I fuck with, pineapple puree

sounds great, and super dogs very own secret sauce. No idea what that is. I've seen another thing online rumoring the secret sauce is a cucumber sauce, which is wild to me since I normally hate cucumbers. Interesting. I got to say, it sounds a little sauce heavy. I don't like a complicated amalgamation of sauces, but I would definitely try a pineapple puree.

I would try a garlic cilantro, obviously. Crushed potato chips on a hot dog is intriguing. So if you're in Ames, Iowa or anywhere near Ames, Iowa, go check out Superdogs and report back. Is it still there? If it is, is it still as good as Chris remembers it? All right. Jack from Virginia says best hot dog I ever had came from a hole in the wall place in Roanoke, Virginia, called the Roanoke Wiener Stand. hole in the wall place in Roanoke, Virginia, called the Roanoke Weiner Stand. Alert to anybody in the Virginia area. Keep an eye out for the Roanoke Weiner Stand.

They were honestly super plain, which, by the way, I'm I am totally OK with a plain hot dog is charming in its simplicity. Now, this isn't actually as plain as I thought it would be just a regular chili cheese dog. But damn, it was a good dog. My buddies and I used to have many hot dog eating contests there and would often crush four or five of those bad boys a piece and that's how you get to 70 hot dogs in a year, Jack. Anyway, that's my long hot dog story. Have a doggin' day, Jeff. Thanks, Jack, and if you're in the Virginia area,

check out Roland Oaks Weiner stand. Man, I said on the Regulation podcast a while back that we needed to have like a national hot dog registry. Kind of keep track of all these awesome hot dog places or sort of a hot dog heat map, if you will. The need the need for that is really starting to present itself to me. It's a get on that. Oh, this is from Matty, who says, so I've never written into a podcast before and I don't wanna say the old long time listener spiel,

but the hot dog episodes of Solar Rite were perfection in every way. Well, thank you so much, Matty. I don't remember the first hot dog I ate, but I do have a vivid early hot dog memory from probably around six years old, give or take. My grandpa couldn't cook much. My grandma did all the cooking,

but when he was in charge of me for the day, he would boil us up some generic store brand hot dogs and that was lunch. One time my dad and I were prepping lunch and I knew I was a pro at making hot dogs. But when I went to fill up a little pot with water to boil the dogs, my dad gasped. And he asked me where I'd learned that.

He then showed me the much superior way of cooking them in a pan or griddle or George Foreman grill and getting them a little crispy or snappy. You know, there is a charm to a boiled hot dog though, right? Like, and that is how I learned to cook hot dogs as a child too. I think that's how most people cooked hot dogs in the, back in the olden times.

If you go to a hot dog stand in a major city, like a dirty water hot dog stand, that's all they're doing is they're just steaming them in the same way. I think they're still valid. They go on to say, then the best hot dog I ever ate was in Rochester, New York at a place called Dogtown.

Anybody in Rochester can confirm there's a Dogtown still around and you'll never guess what they specialize in. Every hot dog I've had from there is so good. All their dogs are on sub rolls. Ah, people sleep on bread. It is so important in a hot dog Subrolls are fucking awesome so that they can hold all the extra toppings they pile on see that's smart You can find their menu at dogtown hots calm. Thank you, Maddie. Thank you for the email

Now here's another one man. There are so many East Coast hot dog stories You know in California is one of is one of the hot dog capitals of the US, but I gotta hand it to it. And you would think the Midwest as well, but every one of these stories is on the East Coast. Here's another one from Nicholas. The best hot dog I ever ate was in the mountains of North Carolina.

Was visiting my family, exploring the general area, and I found a small town, stopped for gas and a snack, started talking to the guy behind the counter. When I went to grab a couple of dogs, he stopped me and said they weren't good enough and that he had some better ones. He asked me to watch the counter in case someone came in. And then he got in his truck and straight up left the gas station. I stood there behind the counter, questioning how I got here

and watched the store for 15 to 20 minutes. He rolled back in with a little cooler, pulled out a handful of dogs and threw them on the carousel watched the store for 15 to 20 minutes. He rolled back in with a little cooler, pulled out a handful of dogs and threw them on the carousel at the store. As they heated up, he told me about how his sister runs a pig farm in the valley, so he gets a lot of fresh meat and makes sausages, pork chops and hot dogs when they warmed up. He slapped one of them on potato buns, quick line of spicy mustard. And they were the best hot dogs I've ever eaten.

Nicholas, I fucking bet they were. That dude went, that dude put you in charge of his business so that he could go home and grab two of his own homemade hot dogs to bring them back for you to enjoy. That is a trusting human being, a generous human being, and a human being that knows how to cook a fucking hot dog and wants other people to know he knows how to cook a hot dog. Those are some those are some impressive qualities right there.

That's a great story, Nicholas. Well, this is fucking crazy. This is from Dustin. As per your episode, Return of the Hot Dog, as a person who lives near Cincinnati, Ohio, East Coast again, and as well as answering the West Virginia question, we add cheese to chili on top of hot dogs as well as spaghetti too. We call this a cheese coney and a five-way respectively. This is a completely separate dish than a regular hot dog and why it might not be in your statistics that you looked at. You add a five way is a hot dog with spaghetti and chili and cheese.

We have a debate going on in the Discord server. This must be the regulation Discord server about what constitutes a hot dog. And my argument is that a cheese Coney is a separate dish than a hot dog, even though it shares the same ingredients because of the way it is prepared and the availability of it. I would love your feedback as well as your argument against corn dogs not being hot dogs, corn dogs not being hot dogs, even though they share the same ingredients.

I guess I'd have to see how a cheese coney is prepared because it sounds like a hot dog on a bun with chili and cheese. It sounds like a hot dog to me. As far as a corn dog thing, I guess I would explain it like this. If you told me you had a hot dog on a bun with chili and cheese. It sounds like a hot dog to me. As far as a corn dog thing, I guess I would explain it like this. If you told me you had a hot dog yesterday and I go, oh, cool. What kind of hot dog did you have? You'd said I had a cheese cone.

I'd go like, oh, that's a good hot dog. If you told me I had a hot dog yesterday and I said, what kind of hot dog did you have? You have a Chicago dog. Do you have like chili cheese dog? What do you have? And you said, oh, a corn dog. I would go, oh, well, you had a corn dog, not a hot dog. It's just a guy drop line somewhere.

Man, I I'm going to have I got so many first hot dogs, best hot dog stories, reasons I haven't ever eaten a hot dog story, that it's it's so much to parse through. I picked just a handful of favorites. And as I'm looking through them, I'm realizing that there's still so many. But I want to do some of the questions.

So Brian said, hey, Jeff, hope you're having a great day so far. I am now Brian. Thank you for asking. At the end of the most recent episode of So Alright, you mentioned the Q&A episode. Hopefully, you're still taking some cues. I absolutely am. I've been re-listening to the ANMA podcast and a topic of bucket

lists come up, which got me thinking. Did you ever have a bucket list when you were younger compared to more recently? And if so, how have they changed throughout the years? You know, it's, uh, it's funny you asked that. And by mentioning the ANMA podcast, Brian is referring to a different podcast. I do with one of the founders of Rooster Teeth. It's actually going through a rebrand right now and is on hiatus, but will be back if you want to listen to it. It started out as a way for us to reminisce and tell old stories about our time at Rooster Teeth.

And now that Rooster Teeth has gone the way of the dinosaur, we mostly find ourselves just talking about what's going on in our lives and the world around us. And it's become a lot more of a look forward than a look back. And it's a lot of fun. Hopefully that will relaunch soon. If you wanna look for it, just look for the ANMA podcast feed. It'll just take that over when it's finally time.

Learn more at mx.ca slash ymx, terms apply. But onto the question of bucket lists. You know, I... I think you get to a certain age in life, I think, where you can kind of trick yourself

that you remember certain things, but in reality if I sit down and really struggle with it, I don't know. I definitely know that I wanted to be a writer when I was young. It was a big deal to me. It was something that I, it's kind of where I thought I would end up in life from an early age, you know. I guess that would have been like, I guess that would have been my in a bucket list once the career started. But you know, you start to like, it's interesting because what what constitutes a bucket list item and what constitutes just like a plan for the future, you know, like I had this whole idea of a world that I was going to live in outside of the army.

I had, you know, I joined the military at 17, went into basic training at 18, was in the army until 23, so I did five years active duty. I spent a lot of that five years dreaming about a future not in the army. I don't know how much of that fell into bucket list territory as opposed to just wanting to live a new way, you know, but once Rooster Teeth happened and,

you know, you go through a period, especially when you start to taste success, where you just look for mountains to climb, you know? You wanna find a higher mountain to climb, you want to achieve more, you wanna see how far you can get. And that informs a bucket list in a lot of ways. But at some point, you either get beaten down

by that pursuit or you get there and as they say, I think very adeptly, my wife says it, once you get to the mountaintop, it's lonely and there's not a hell of a lot of air to breathe up there so you can't stick around for too long. Blake has asked me, what non-generic father advice would you give to a dad of a 19 month old girl? Well first off congratulations I just entered into a new phase of parenthood the empty nesting phase and so I'm learning all about the

particular ins and outs and Heart pangs and outs and heart pangs and difficulties in the moments of insane pride and fascination. I get that. I do get asked this question a lot. I just did a cameo the other day where somebody was an expectant father and asked similarly what to what to look out for. And I guess what I told him I kind of would stand true here to you I think Blake one We are in a different place with technology than we were when when we had Millie in 2003, but

Do not assume that the photos and the videos you take of your child are on a cloud somewhere that the photos and the videos you take of your child are on a cloud somewhere, safe and sound forever. I have had phones get lost, I have had phones be stolen, I have had phones die, I've had what I thought were images backed up to a cloud not be backed up to a cloud, I've had corrupted backup files, I have almost 19 years of Millie's life recorded via, if you look back on it,

probably 20 different fucking cell phones at this point and cameras and video cameras and trying to maintain all of that data across all of the technological advancements and changes in USB plugs and USB-C plugs and lightning and all of that annoyance has resulted in me losing a lot of her childhood photos and videos, being able to hang on to a lot of it, but I've lost a lot as well. And so data and file management is not fun. It's not one of the exciting parts of being a parent, but you will thank yourself later

if every once in a while you just take the most recent batch of photos and videos of your kiddo and you just put them on a hard drive somewhere in your house that you maybe put it on two in case one fails, just do it and keep adding to it. Get into a rhythm and a routine, do it constantly because when that kid is 17 or 18 and you wanna look for specific moments from their past,

they can be really hard to track down, sometimes impossible. The other thing I would offer is I've watched, you know, it feels like just yesterday that I went through the birth and toddler phases of Millie's life, but it wasn't. It was, you know, a decade and a half ago now, more than a decade and a half ago. The world has changed a lot.

I've watched a lot of my friends and peers have kids since then, seeing how different just shit like strollers and toys are What I will say is Do not get caught up in buying shit. You think you need for this kid? Yeah It's like kitchen gadgets right like we don't need nine different ways to peel garlic individually They're all cool, but you don't realize it you look back and you're like Why do I have like seven different ways to squeeze this lemon? I really only need the one right? It's very easy to buy

cool looking fun looking cute sweet looking distractions and toys and tools for your kid to play with but the reality is most of that shit's gonna end up in a closet in three to five weeks and you will probably be giving it to a neighbor or coworker or friend or family member within the next six months. And as you're handing it to them, you're gonna go, yeah, I hope you get more use out of it than we did. You need a lot less of that shit than you think you do.

So save some money. That would be my other non-generic advice. I hope that's non-generic enough for you, Blake. Blake also asks, do you miss the wild, wild west days of the internet? I've noticed over the years that you make comments about it. I kind of want to hear you talk more about the glory days. I don't know if they're glory days.

They were just what it sounds like. It was the wild west. Anything went on the internet at that time. It was pure expression and creativity and exploration. And there were all these wild websites popping up and people just getting creative with HTML and web design and creating all of it. It was just this explosion of new

and it was exciting to watch. It was exciting to watch it form. Wild to watch things like EIN, which was like a movement, everything, nothing. It was like the precursor to blogs, kind of come into prominence and be everywhere and then gone like six months later It was it was wild to just watch these these plots of internet land to grow and morph into

Unexpected directions and then die and then be reborn in other places and was, you know, it was just a wild time when it was available finally to anybody that wanted to find it and play in it. And big money hadn't figured out quite yet how to take advantage of it. And so they weren't really trying. There was a period of time when entertainment and most of the world at large ignored the

Internet as a fad or a childish or quote unquote nerdy thing. It's kind of like what it used to mean to play video games in the 80s and the 90s. I guess mostly in the 90s and the 80s it was like a kid's fad. In the 90s it was like a thing you were made fun of for playing if you if you were too old that right there. Internet was kind of like that as well. It didn't last long, clearly. It was a time when you could sit down

and figure out how to write a program to buy a pizza through Domino's via Bitcoin on your own. Like, I didn't do that. That's just a wild and famous older story. It was cool to watch creators like The Spark and Christian spin up and have whole little careers of entertainment then just disappear and go in other directions. There's so much of the internet that I enjoyed that doesn't exist anymore back in those days.

And that's fine. That's, you know, probably the way it should work. We get so caught up in this idea that because. We can we should preserve everything, and I guess ideally we should, right? Like, why wouldn't we preserve everything if it's possible? But it just, you know, doesn't tend to work out that way. Not everything is going to last and survive the test of time. That's another crazy thing to think about too. The humanity, we kind of have a collective memory of about 50 years.

And once you hit that 50 year point, if something is older than 50 years, it kind of disappears from our understanding and our collective consciousness. It takes a really major event like a war or a technological or industrial breakthrough or a truly rarefied celebrity or entertainer to punch through and outlive that 50 year drop off. And if you think about the world in terms of that, 50 years from now, who's looking for skibbity toilet TikToks? Probably no one. Maybe a historian. Maybe it's some new trend with teenagers 50 years from now in the future that God knows what those trends will look like.

God knows what the world will look like. God knows how we will consume or interact with entertainment anyway. At that point, it's changing so fast. But you know what I mean? I think it's OK that Corporal Dan and the E-Town police disappeared from the Internet and I can't watch a stop motion Lego video that I liked when I was 19 anymore I guess if I really wanted it, I should have saved it I should have downloaded it somewhere like we all should be doing to our kids photos, you know There's a fun time. You can never go back again

I'm sure if I did it would be the internet would be unbearably slow and clunky and hard to use And a pain in the ass. And you would realize very quickly how much you appreciate the advances. I mean, I think about those Wild West days. We launched the Rooster Teeth Web Store, you know, in 2000. It was either late 2000, it was probably late 2003. I'd like a tail end of 2003 or the very beginning of 2004 would have been when we got the first Rooster Teeth web store up.

Not an easy fucking thing to do in 2003. I don't want to go back to 2003 and 2004 e-commerce. That was a nightmare. It was a nightmare for the first 10 years. We were a company before the world largely got e-commerce figured out So through rose-tinted glasses, there's a lot I would love to go back and revisit from those early days of the internet But from a practical ease of use standpoint

Internet was a clunky difficult to use mess back then I will say that Brandon Gill asked a question I can I can answer really quickly. Been a fan since 2009 never managed to catch the answer to this question. Sorry if it's already been answered countless times. That's okay, Brandon. What led to the name Rooster Teeth? Love from the UK to all the regulation family. Love right back to you, Brandon. The name Rooster Teeth is basically it was Bernie. He it was a playoff the insult cock bite, you know, used to call each other cock bites all the time.

That was a thing you did in the early 2000s, I guess. So Rooster Teeth, he literally just Googled chattering teeth and a weather vane Rooster Weather Vane and then slapped them together and said. Here's what we'll call it. We thought it was funny at the time I was maybe 26 or 27. He would have been probably 29. Gus would have been 25. Matt was about my age, 27. And so that was the kind of thing that was funny to us at the time. We used to always make the joke. We named it Rooster

Teeth because we didn't want kids to ask their mom if they could send twenty dollars in the mail to Cockbite Productions for a DVD, which is a funny joke to make in the early days. But there was some truth to it, too. Yeah. I wish I think we all wish we'd come up with a better name. I don't think any of us are. It was fine.

I didn't hate it. You know, it served us well. But I don't know that after like two years, any of us were like in love with the name or the idea or the inside, the joke just became cringier the older we got. It's kind of like tattoos. You like it for the first five years

and then you count down to when you wonder why the fuck you got this thing begins. All right, let's do one more. This is from Orla. Jeff, I'm 27 years old and I've never eaten a hot dog. It's not for cultural reasons or anything. I just really dislike the idea of meat. Something about how it looks really makes me uncomfortable.

I'm sure they're super tasty, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I'm a meat eater. Otherwise, hot dogs are truly the only meat I won't try. I completely and totally understand that, Orla, and I am glad that you emailed in because I know people like you out there exist. I get it.

I can't think about how a hot dog is made too long or what's in it because it'll make me, it'll turn me off of hot dogs for a little bit. Like I have to really create some mental barriers in my head around hot dog preparation for me to be able to enjoy them. And I think what helps me a lot is I grew up watching cartoons, hot dogs were always fun in cartoons.

Somebody was hungry and then somebody else always saw their friend as a dancing hot dog and then wanted to eat him. And I think that my introduction to hot dogs was through American patriotism as a child, right? Like baseball games and drag races and being out in a grass field with a bunch of parked cars eating a hot dog out of a foil wrapper

while you hear somebody hit a home run or there's a loud revving of an engine or whatever going on behind you. You see people in folding chairs everywhere. Maybe there's fireworks, right? I associate hot dogs with that. And then I also associate them with fun cartoons and dancing and happy food that wants to be eaten. So if you're looking for an inn,

it doesn't sound like you are Orla, you made it 27 years without eating a hot dog, I think you're probably fine going forward. But if you ever wanted to, maybe look for an inn through one of those avenues. Brett says, Jeff, I just listened to the So Alright Hot Dog episode and you missed at least one hot dog song boy

Howdy hot dog by Willie Carlisle. Okay, I'll look it up. I will definitely look that up. Thank you Brett I actually missed another song. I don't know if I mentioned it or if I just meant to but hot dog by LM FAO Which I do not like I think I forgot to to recognize that as a hot dog song as well You know what Brett? we're gonna make howdy hot dog song as well. You know what, Brett? We're gonna make Howdy Hot Dog by Willie Carlisle the song of the episode. I've never heard it. I hope it's just about hot dogs

and it doesn't have some sort of a deeply offensive other meaning since I'm not actually gonna listen to it before I pull up taking a leap of faith here, Brett, on this Howdy hot dog song Hope you didn't steer us wrong Alright, we have so many questions and hot dog stories to get to but I really do need to probably wrap this one up So thank you to everybody who submitted a question or shared a story about your favorite hot dog or your first hot dog or why you'll never eat a hot dog I'm gonna get to the rest of them. I'm enjoying this

Hopefully you are too. I am really trying not to beat the hot dog drum too hard But it's it's proving a challenge because it's there's just so much interesting hot dog related information out there Anyway, I'll see you guys next week with more something or other probably more questions and maybe even some more hot dog related information out there. Anyway, I'll see you guys next week with more something or other probably more questions and maybe even some more hot dog stories. All right.
