Hello, the internet, and welcome to this special episode of DERDALEYSight. This is going to be the oops, all overrated, underrated, and search history series featuring some of our favorite guests, giving some of our favorite opinions from the

past few months. We'll be checking in with these sporadically. Just mostly silly episodes full of the treat part of the episode, the not about the news part of the episode. And yeah, we hope you enjoy them. All filler, no killer, I guess you could say. And if you have a favorite overrated, underrated from the long history of the show, my memory doesn't work that well, but if you have one from a long time ago, let us know in the Discord or in the comments, and maybe we can do an all-time, oops, all over under-surge search history.

Anyways, without further ado, here they are, oops, all overrated, underrated, and search history. Bye. What is Nicole something that you think is underrated? I think that, well, this is very, very specific, but the Manhattan Beach Public Library in L.A., it's so gorgeous. It's so beautiful. It's right by the water. You've got like these incredible views, very, very calming. I mean, public libraries are like pretty great. And a lot of them in the last few years have been going through all these renovations in major cities. It's just this feels like being in a little time capsule being in them.

So all public libraries, but that one specifically. Wait, was that one like so nice? You felt like, you're like, is this a public library? Exactly. Oh, okay. It's so gorgeous in here. This makes no sense. I saw like someone was posting how a library was selling their card catalog because like they were liquidating like everything inside. And like all these like bibliophiles are like, where is it?

I wanted. I need it. Because part of you like just seeing that bulky ass card catalog. cabinet with the fucking brass handles and shit, the little screws that kept all the cards in. Like, I looked at it and I go, I could smell it. I know,

I already forgot how to use the Dewey Decimal System, but I will fucking remember. But there's just something, I don't know, for whatever reason, that visual of a, like, now obsolete card catalog thing for that was, like, one of the first times

I understood, like, when Boomer's like, and this is my collection of record players. Yeah, whatever. And I'm like, yeah, whatever, bro. Then I'm like, the Dewey Decimal system in the card catalog. The doy decimal system.

Where else do we use it everywhere, I'm sure? But if you say Dewey Decimal System, card catalog immediately. It's the only thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You were doing your word. What a win for Dewey, by the way. What a win for Dewey? Whatever he is, I hope he's happy.

Amazing branding for that guy. Yeah. I still go to the public library and I do have trouble with the Dewey Decimal system. Like I wanted to be like, yeah, that's one of those skills they told us we were going need and we didn't actually need. Turns out, I need it. And I suck at it. My way of dealing with the Dewey Decimal system is asking the library and, hey, can you

help me find a book about Legos? My son really want book about Legos. Oh, no. Oh, you guys again. Yeah, it's in the same place that it was last week. Why can't you learn? It's just numbers. And all this has happened now, I go, man, let me learn more about Melville Dewey, the

creator of the Dewey Decimal System. And then I, this is the shit. You go on Wikipedia, I'm always scanning for it. Is there a controversy section? Yes, there is. Sexual harassment, anti-Semitism, and racism. Dewey. The Lake Placid Club banned Jews, blacks and others from membership,

a policy written by Dewey himself. No, Dewey, no. Why'd you Dewey to us like that? Damn. We can't have anything nice, not even one nice thing. I just like, fuck it. It's the catalog. I don't need the decimal system.

I don't need to recognize the system of organization, but merely the tangible cabinet that remains. There it is. There it is. The decimal system. That's what we call it. I feel like it's all like you can see that it was typed in a typewriter. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's smud, ink smudges and shit. Oh, God. Dude, those mini pencils. They still got mini pencils at the library. They got mini pencils. Oh, yeah. But they're like less, they're not like as around and as available.

They're not trying to encourage the use of them. I'm not going to laugh. I would golf courses. Exactly. Many golf courses have. I would take handfuls. I would not belize the home market. Yeah.

You hate to see it. You hate to see it. What is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? One of the last Google rabbit holes I went down was Googling sad pigeon's nests. Have you all ever seen how a pigeon makes a nest? No. It is the bad as shit you will ever see in your life. Wait, really?

I mean, okay. Is it made of garbage? They grab shit. And then they just pile it together. But they get down differently. So basically, pigeons, I only learned this recently, used to be, like, back in the day, they were domesticated. So they were basically pigeons we kept us pets. Then as we went forward, we were like, actually pigeons are gross.

We abandoned them, but pigeons have not abandoned us. So they still like to live in cities around people. But their, like, bird life skills are not so good. So when a pigeon builds a nest, it will just be, like, one sad stick. No. sad pigeon nests. It'll be like the pigeons, it'll just be like, yeah, like

one little piece of brush and it's like, this is my nest. It's the saddest thing. Are pigeons depressed? This sucks. This one is four sticks, Bridget. It didn't know any better because it's not, it doesn't know, it doesn't have like,

like we have done this. We abandoned the pigeons and it's so sad. Wow. So it's like if dogs one day just like went out of favor and cities were just overrun with like dogs running around. Like that's what, I always assumed pigeons were just like, I don't know, trying to get food or something. But they're just there because they're like, these people who fucking used to like us. What the fuck happened? I don't know what made them.

They're here for the humans. Yeah. I don't know what made them fall out of favor as domesticated animals. But something must have happened and we turned our backs on the pigeons. and they still need to be around us, making their sad little depression nests. Yeah. There's a metaphor in here,

and I'm trying to really figure out what it is. There's something to this, right? You know what I mean? There's something so poignant about you have completely taken this creature out of its natural environment, cast it aside, and now has, the first thing that comes to mind is just like when I used to, like, people I knew in college who were, like, rich kids who then go to college

and have to actually live on their own for the first time. Right. And they're like, how do you get internet in this place? It's like they're 65 years old. Yeah. And like I could imagine them putting like four sticks next to a computer and be like, is this Wi-Fi or? Is this what's that?

My mom usually did everything for me. So, oh, God. Yeah, the will say that usually in nature. Oh, sorry. No, there's just one that was in the grooves of a truck tire. Yeah, in the tread. Not smart. Sometimes they put their egg in things that they're,

They really should like up against a door where you're like, oh, that's a very precarious place to put an egg that you're trying to look at. Are you doing an April Fool's prank where you're trying to get the egg to fall on someone's head? Every time you see an animal doing like, you know, building a nest, building something, it's always like so industrious and well done. And it's like, wow, this is just years and years of evolution coming down to like create this genius that like I couldn't. It is kind of nice to see an animal that is like me and my 20s trying to do a at-home skill, like fix a toilet or something. And it's just like, nah, fucked up, man. You're bad. The first animal I've ever seen that's built a nest where I think I could do that.

Yeah. I could put you six together. I can probably do a better job, actually. Yeah, when somehow your evolutionary programming is enough to be like, you're a mess with this nest. I know. Move aside. I know. Let me help you out here, pal.

You don't know what, though. You're an absolute mess. Look at you. Fucking sad pigeon mess. Look at the stadium. Great search history. Got to say. What is something you think is underrated?

Okay. I think underrated having bedrooms. I just moved from a giant loft apartment to a two-bedroom apartment. And it is so nice to have a room to go to and close the door and go to bed. You think New York City loft life, it's so cool, gossip girl, like, and then you live it and you're like, kill me. I need walls. I need a couple more walls in I need walls to focus. I would like to if you're having a scuffle with your partner to not have to go sit in the bathroom to cool down because it's the only room with a wall, you know. I'm going to

go hang out under this blanket for a half hour. Just don't bother me. You're, you're, He's laying on the lofted bed and I'm on the couch and we're just like, huh, but I can see him, you know? And now it's like, it's like he's sick of me. He goes the other room. I'm stuck of him. I go to the other room. You got doors you can slam. We got doors.

But it just, it feels like a home. You don't realize that you're like, oh, in this industrial loft space, it does feel like you're in a business space all day, every day. You're never shutting down. Whereas like now we're like, oh, my God, the apartment's so cozy. It's like, yeah, so bedrooms are underrated. Even if your loft is the size of a two bedroom. Right. A, controversial take, but I do agree bedrooms are underrated.

I do think that the like style in like open floor planning of homes and workplaces, they were like, we don't like this. And workers don't like this. And it's bad, essentially. Like after a long time of being like, it's great. In our workplaces, open floor planning. So everybody's really collaborative. And everyone was like, I fucking hate this. You can't turn off.

That is like the biggest thing is that there's never any like your brain doesn't know downtime in a space like that. Because it's like, oh, our and I feel like through the two years we lived in this loft, we rearranged the space so many times. And I felt like we were never able to like settle in because we're like, okay, this isn't working. Like let's move this. oh, you know, like, maybe we do need more shelves.

Like, oh, like, what if we just, like, did this? And it's like, you end up buying all this furniture to build walls. Like, essentially to, like, create rooms because there are not. Right. Yeah. So underrated. What is something you think is overrated? Moving in New York City.

I've been talking about this extensively to everybody. I mean, I've known this. I've lived in New York for six years. But it never gets easier. If anything, it's gotten harder. And we did only move three blocks away. But it's still just, it sucks. It's not fun.

It's so hard. And you're expected to move like every year. It's just like everybody moves constantly. And it's the hardest place to move it. It's the hardest place to move. You're always moving constantly, putting all your stuff in, like, which I will say the reusable bins is a game changer. You don't have to buy boxes.

You don't have to tear down boxes. But it does give you this like very tight window for better or worse to be like, you have two weeks to pack all your things and unpack. all your things. Right. And that's a lot. But I have to tonight finish unpacking all of these pins because they're supposed to come get them tomorrow.

So we'll see. Yeah, it's Bin City behind Becca. It's Bin City behind me right now. Shout out to Gorilla Binza. Shout out to Gorilla Binz. I wish I had known about Gorillabins. I feel like in Air 20 is my wife. And I put like the children of people who go, who own the container store through, through

Oh, yeah. Absolutely. I would use trash bags. Well, it gets to a point when you don't order enough bins and everything just ends up in trash bags because I've made that mistake now twice. Man, fuck this, bro. Just so let's get you in a trash bag. Let's go. Let's fucking go.

It's close. Double bagged then. We're packing everything. And then, like, Orlando was like, did you? Did we order enough bins? And I was like, well, this is the same amount of bins I ordered last time. I'm totally forgetting that last time we didn't order enough bins. so we're getting to the end of these bins

and I'm like, fuck, we still have so much a pack and we have no bins left and so then by the day the movers came and they're taking the bins, I'm like, okay, the trash bag is just like we're shoving things in and we're like, okay, okay, y'all aren't done yet. Okay, here, another trash bag, another trash bag as they're like emptying the apartment.

Yeah, right. Say levy, moving sucks. Oh, moving to stuff. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news.

What's the news, huge news? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a podcast. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend.

But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And, well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this.

We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an

a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate the these periods of turbulence and transformation.

There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Keith Gianmanca seemed like a mild-mannered suburban dad, but secretly he became someone else,

a master of disguise who went on a crime spree. At the time, did it seem like a crazy idea? It seemed very crazy, but I felt so desperate that I felt it was the quickest, easiest way out. Did you allow yourself to think about how it could go wrong and what that might look like? No. I didn't want to manifest that.

I was trying to manifest success. Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life? That is not the look of an innocent man. This is going to change my life and my family dynamic forever because everything that had existed prior in my reality is now untrue. Listen to Deep Cover the Family Man. on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

What is something, Troy, that you think is underrated? Chain restaurants. Underrated. Yeah. Hell yeah. Yeah. Good answer. Good answer.

It's very underrated, I feel like. Certain ones better than others, but, you know, I think you can't really, you need to appreciate the ability to be in almost any city in the country and go a cheesecake factory. Yeah. Yeah. I'll be at least satisfied. Yeah. You know, there's no, like, mistakes.

You'll be stuffed. You know, yeah. There are certain things that hit with, like, almost every chain restaurant. Like, anything in an egg roll, like, any, you know, like, that's just been, like, fried crispy and has various cream cheese ingredients inside is just like, come on. That's going to be good. Every version of mac and cheese. Yep. There's a reason those shits are chained up.

They're good. They used to not be chain restaurants. I can tell you that much. I will say this. And my genuinely, I'm on somewhere on social media, public record, my friend Catherine,

who's like a food journalist, like an honest to God, full ass, food journalist, did like an Instagram poll or something at one time. It was like, what's the most underrated

restaurant in Los Angeles? I replied, it is the Arby's that is on Sunset Boulevard. By the way, RIP to that RBI. Yeah. Close down.

And she did say that one got the most responses of people being like, it actually is. It is this one. Andrew's right. It's this one. It's so, rated so low. And it is fucking awesome. Even if it doesn't exist anymore. Yeah.

It used to, yeah, I used to stop at that RVs. I used to stop at that Arby's and really crash out. Yeah. Like, really just like black out and come and then leave with like, why did I order all the, That Arby's is the you just left a general meeting in Hollywood and it didn't go great and you're about to get on the highway Arbys. Yeah. It's right next to the Netflix headquarters. Yeah.

And you just said to yourself like, you know what? I deserve two French dips. Yeah. They had me pitch off next to a iPad AI thing with like a smiley face on it and I lost. Yeah. The Masked writer. What if we took your premise and gave it to this AI? That sounds good.

That does sound good, actually. Troy, do you give us one order from a chain restaurant that you feel like is underrated or like something that everybody should get? Okay. So have you guys ever been to Texas Roadhouse? I think is that the one with peanuts on the floor? Yeah, yeah. They have a bucket of peanuts on the, you're starting to see the through line between this and Days of Thunder. It's like,

this is very me this old thing. The bone in ribeye at Texas Ruthouse is one of truly like you cannot lose.

Of course. You cannot lose. Because that is a, that's an ambitious order for a chain restaurant to go with a, you know what I mean? Yeah.

It will be perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned every single time and it's like $25 for a 20 ounce bone in by it's like easily one of the best steak deals you can get and they have it everywhere and because you're a texas roadhouse you get a bucket of peanuts and those those rolls with the cinnamon butter

people love to yeah love to fucking rolls texas road houses man i'm i'm an evangelist the way you've reacted to my my me saying the place with peanuts on the floor is leading me to believe that maybe it only has peanuts on the floor when I'm there? Like, are you not supposed to just throw them on the shelves on the floor? What I remember is like, it was like kind of, yeah, I guess people

probably do just throw them on the floor. I think it's just me. We got to look under, we got to look under Jack's desk right now because it's just coated with it looks like a hamster cage down there. Right. Nothing but peanut shells. Yeah. I don't know that they've actually

got like a They're not like, this is fine. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think like the corporate manual is like, so, you know, part of your side work is sprinkle peanut shells on the floor. Sure. Yeah, yeah. I think maybe this was, it was also the last one I went to was when I lived in Kentucky a long

time ago. So maybe that was specific to Kentucky. I feel like you just sort of like. Sort of like pig pen from from peanuts. You just got like a cloud of peanut shells orbit of you at all times. Now, that would have made sense why that strip was called. peanuts. He got peanut.

He does have a peanut show. I kept waiting for the punchline. What is Mary something that you think is underrated? Okay. I have two. Which one do you think is better? Let's hear them both. The PBS Passport app or NASCAR.

Okay. We, I think we've gotten the PBS Passport app before, or at least I have in my life. I mean, everyone knows it's good. It doesn't take much. Right. Wait, wait, what is the... What are you fucking with on the PBS Passport app? Wait, wait, hold on.

Yeah, I don't know. What is the PBS Passport app? Oh, it's like their streaming app. Oh, shit, okay. Oh, I have like the kid version of that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I mostly watch Finding Your Roots, Nova, nature, any of the Ken Burns' docs.

Yeah. You have global access to Ken Burns' documentaries. That's right. Yeah. Come on. That happens so much. There's so many times and I'm like, but surely you can get them somewhere else. Right.

Right. With Ken Burns' documentaries. For the Elvis Icon's episode, I wanted to watch an episode about the country music. Ken Burns presents country music. Oh, it's so good. You got to go to PBS. You got to go to the source. I remember when like the Civil War came out, I was like, the only sound of,

of the Civil War is someone playing a fiddle with someone reading a letter. Yeah, it's someone reading a letter and a fiddle in the background. I'm like, and that was the antebellum period, you know, and during the Civil War. I remember when the Civil War dropped. Yeah, that was dope. Like, was that also like a, like, ultimate boomer dad gift was buying them? Any Ken Burns, like, 10 tape fucking set? I remember, like, the baseball one was, like, required purchases for follow.

there's like white American fathers on Father's Day. That's right. And here is your Ken Burns Baseball documentary. Here's your Ken Burns Baseball with the side of Mike Lupica. Okay. So what, tell me about NASCAR, though. Okay. Well.

Yeah, this is new. I don't think we've gotten an underrated on NASCAR. I didn't know anything about NASCAR until yesterday. My friend posted on his Insta story that he was watching NASCAR and to come through. And so I went and all the people there were from the South, and they were teaching me about NASCAR. And it's almost like wrestling. Like the drivers have personality.

Some of them are super racist. Some of them are super woke. And there's good guys and bad guys. I didn't know about that second category of NASCAR driver, to be honest with you. Oh, Michael Jordan owns a bunch of cars. Did you know that? Did you see less? Did you see Rodguie?

Mary, this is something that we recently found out about, unfortunately, because of a video clip of him celebrating his Daytona 500 win by pinching the butt, grabbing the butt, treating the butt of the young child of the winning driver, like it was a napkins dispenser. Yeah. Well, no comment. Because for us two, we were like, oh shit, Michael's doing it. And we're like, what are you doing? doing Michael Jordan?

Yeah. You're drunk and on camera. Yeah. So there were just a ton of cutaways to Michael Jordan during NASCAR. And that's like just not what I thought NASCAR was. Right, right. It was pretty interesting. Nice.

Were you confused why during the cutoffways? They were like, and there's Michael Jordan very far from grabbing any child's butt, like a napkins dispenser? Yeah, that's what the lower third said. It said not currently touching a child's butt, but also the owner of cars, 23, 45 and 35. Yeah. All right.

Here we go. Oh, no. Because I do need to get your take on this. It's just hard to. No. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. You can't.

Yeah. What do we think he thought he was doing? Is like really the question that we're at now. Some people have speculated that there was ice down the kids back maybe. But it's like even that is hard to believe based on. It's very strange. I think the only. answer to that is,

it's definitely a note for me, darling. Yeah. Unfortunately. Yeah. It's going to be a note for me. Yeah. Wait,

so did you come away after that, like with a, now you, you've learned a little bit, now you've got a team or a driver or an aspect of NASCAR that, like, appeals to you now?

You're just more like, that was a nice experience. Thank you for that education. I think I'm rooting for all of Michael Jordan's cars, basically. He has multiple cars. Yep. Yep.

He has three cars. Team group. One of them is a black driver. One of them is a white short king with a beautiful black wife. Okay. And the third car I don't know about because they came in really left. It sounds like the beginning of a joke. A black NASCAR driver, a short NASCAR driver, and a priest walking to a bar.

Yeah, he was on the Epstein list like 17 times. Which isn't that many. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's not when compared to the president. Yeah. He set the bar so high. You know, that is one thing that we can say about this president. The thing for me about NASCAR is when you're watching it, there's not, I mean, it's kind of like almost all the time.

It's like watching a blowout NBA game or something where it's just like there's never that moment of like huge drama where it's like it all comes down to this moment. like a close race, it's still, you know, like, I guess there are close races, but they're not. Well, the Daytona 500 ended pretty spectacularly from where I read. Yeah. I think the NBA is actually such a perfect analogy because it's kind of like you can half watch and then the final two minutes, you're like, oh my God. Sure, sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. There we go. All right. Maybe I need to give it another shot. Maybe I just need to start watching the last three laps of NASCAR. Yes. Oh, and also something I learned is something. of the drivers, if they win, their sponsors will give out free chicken nuggets.

Oh, okay. Oh, so depending on which fast food chain you're aligned with? Yes. So there was a Wendy's car yesterday, and if he had won, Wendy's would have given out free chicken tenders today. Oh, damn. And I heard that in the past, sometimes drivers get really emotional and cry and say, you know, that they wish that they could have given everyone free chicken. I mean, given the state of this economy, I would imagine that.

It's like, I'm sorry we weren't able to distribute food to people. I know. Our children going hungry because of your loss. How does that make you feel? Oh, God. Quick word. Can't that be on someone else? I mean, yeah, we could talk about the government or like all of garters.

That's on you, sir. It's on you. It's on you driver. It's a little harder. Yeah. What is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Recently, I dug into a curious case. I had eaten a schnitzel at a really good restaurant in a restaurant beer garden here in Echo Park where I live.

Via garden? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Owned by a German guy, great German food. And I was like, ah, I love schnitzel. Like, I don't eat enough schnitzel. There's not really a place to get it. And I was driving by a wiener schnitzel. the chain

restaurant and I realized that Viener Schnitzel does not sell Schnitzel so I Google that I was like Does Viener Schnitzel

Right And they do not Yeah They sell hot dogs And chili fries So then I was I like went down this I'm like

Is this the only chain That is named for a food That they don't serve Right right Right It's like Chili's has chilies you know they're in there yeah like apple bees probably has apples on the premises it's

not a huge part of the cuisine there but yeah and i and i'd give them a pass i'm like what's an apple bee anyway you know sonic does not serve sonics i've i've asked for some yeah like well done sonic steak yeah it's just it's it seems baffling that you would name it vener schnitzel and then not carry that item right yeah that's what i've been working on did we find out because because it a vener Schnitzel is a pork schnitzel from Vienna. Yeah, that is exactly what that. And it's the best kind. Right.

So then I'm like, yeah. Well, it's actually veal. I think it's veal in Vienna. Oh. I think that's their special. Hey, okay. But I'll take any kind of shant. It's just any kind of schnitzel, you're saying.

It's not like a thing where you're like, they do not have Viennese schnitzel. They don't even have a schnitzel. A schnitzel. Yeah. No. Yeah. Nine. Nine. Nine.

So, you know, I was. A lot of baffling decisions made by that company. Also, I've never been to, I've never been to Vayner's Nestle. So maybe it's great. And like the hot dogs are so good they make up for this. I see it a lot. I can't imagine that's true. I see it a lot.

They're like, we're going to do kind of a niche food. We're going to name it after another niche food that it's that we don't sell. And we're going to put it in a building that like we have to build and can we can never resell afterwards. A wildly impractical structure. Wow. Just call it like the weiner house. You got the A-frame.

Just call it the winner house. The guy who started it, John Galardi, we first worked at Taco Bell in the early days. And then- John Galardi, good eye, good-uh. And he's like, they don't have a bell there. I can do whatever I want. So then, like, apparently then, like, the guy, John, Glenn Bell of Taco Bell offered him, like, a spot to open his, like, a restaurant next to his on PCH. Like, Taco Bell was started by a guy named Bell.

Yeah, it used to be called Taco Kia. That's good information right there. I know. But anyway, so then, so, okay, so then he's, though it was under the condition that said, Bell encouraged him to take the offer, but wanted to have Galardi sell another kind of food. Galardi decided to sell hot dogs. According to Galardi, his wife came up with the name when looking through a cookbook. He was initially skeptical of the name saying, I told my wife going home, nobody in their right,

mine would call a company weiner Schnitzel. Three days later, I said, hell, it's better than John's hot dogs. I think his first idea was probably on point. John's hot dogs. I mean, early enough to the game where you could be iconic just being John Toddogs. It sounds foreign. Just use it. Yeah, that's right.

It says Wiener, right? They're like, yeah, people don't know that means Vienna. I think they're overcompensating for the fact that they're clearly Italian. And so they're like, well, we got to go like hard German with the name because nobody's going to Yeah. Hey, it worked out for them. So maybe she was on point. Yeah.

Megan, what's something you think is underrated? Okay. What I think is underrated is, sorry, can I start with overrated? Sure. Because mine is, it's funnier the other way around. Okay, okay. Let's mess with the form. Let's do it.

Overrated prestige television. Ah. Okay. Don't make me sit around watching Freaking Succession. I don't want to do that. I don't want to watch the bear and be stressed out by the yelling and the, you know, the emotional violence that we're committing upon in the sake, for the sake of comedy, they say. That Christmas episode is awesome. Laugh riot.

Wow. And I surely do love to laugh as people scream over sandwiches. It's one of my top comedic. When I'm doing improv and someone says location, I say angry at the sandwich shop. You know, because what I think is underrated is slop on TV. More slop, more stupid shit that gets 38 seasons. You know what I mean? By the way, when you started this show and you said, this is your 427th season, I said, yes.

That's what I'm talking about. This is the Slop podcast. Welcome. I want... We're 4,000 episodes deep on the show. Hell yeah, man. We did three seasons this morning before you guys are. Oh, God, everything, every show, even if it sucks, should have 18 seasons as an absolute minimum.

You know what I mean? What's an example of this kind of Slash? Okay, we've talked about this on our show before Text Me Back podcast. Check it out everywhere you get your podcast. Posted by two best friends. Two best friends, Megan and Lindy. With matching tattoos. And that's it.

We have matching tattoos. Anyway, we've talked about this on my show. Here's another problem. I think this kind of fits into my tendency to get too attached too quickly. I watch a lot of television, and I like to watch it nonstop, like a stretchy saltwater taffy. You know what I? And like I, so I like to immerse myself in it and never leave. And so unfortunately, the last time this happened to me, I sat my ass down and watched like all 13 seasons of house.

Wow. What a show. It's a nightmare. But, you know, the procedure is what makes it. comforting. Somebody gets sick. Yep. They try to guess what it is. They're wrong. They figure it out. Problem solved. Wow, that's house baby.

And maybe Q. Lori hit some opioids heavy. You never know. Yeah. And Dr. House MD gets really high. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's sensational. Just like me watching. Wow. Yeah, wow. We're twins. So the thing I love about this show is I think it was considered a good TV show at the time, which is crazy to me. because it's so bad. It's like really offensive. It was definitely like the Obama era of like, oh, it's okay to make racial jokes

because we have a black president. Like 30 Rock did that a lot. The office did it a lot. And it's just something you have to understand about the time. Turns out we were super wrong about racial progress. And those jokes aren't funny. It's okay that he's doing these jokes because he doesn't mean it. It's like, what?

Yeah, he doesn't mean it. Plus Obama's the freaking president. Like how bad? could it get? Get over it. But there's like so many, like, I don't know, there's like one episode where a kid died because he was inhaling termite poop.

You know, there was like pigeon. Hold on. Yeah. Okay, because I was just doing lines to turn my poop off a toilet seat. You better watch out because I can really fuck you up. I've been begging him to stop, but he loves the stuff. Oh, do we sweat?

Can we swear on this show? Oh, you can just say what the fuck you want. Nice. And it just was so satisfying because every episode got more and more insane. Like, you know, at the, at the very end, you know, at some point House goes to jail for, I guess, drugs or something. Finally. Yeah, finally.

A white man going to jail for drugs. After he's been sort of like highly treating patients and like ritually abusing all of them, because he's really mean to everyone, especially the women and the people of color. So he finally goes to jail, which I guess is technically not illegal to be a racist and misogynist. But anyways, yes. At one point he crashes his car into his beloved girlfriend's home because he's like obsessed with her. And then she's like, okay, I'm going to bounce out of this. And he's like, why would she leave?

I'm like, because you crash your Buick into her home. Like, what are you talking about? Anyway, but at the very end, he goes to jail. He finally gets out and he's on probation. And so he can't commit any crimes while he's on probation. And at a certain point, he, somebody gives him like season tickets to... Is it hockey related?

It's hockey again. I think it might be like he gets somebody gives him like season tickets to like Rangers or no, the Devils I guess is the New Jersey team. New Jersey Devils. And so he doesn't want to, for whatever reason,

he chucks them in the toilet and flushes him down the toilet. Now the old plumbing of the hospital cannot abide that level of waste. And so the pipes explode and drown the MRI machine in sewage water and, like, wet paper from the tickets. And everyone's like, who did this?

Who ruined the pipes and the MRI machine? And it was, you know, they were able to figure out it was house because they found the tickets. And they gave the tickets to the police. The police, quote, unquote, fingerprint the tickets, which at this point have been soaking in toilet water for five. What do you mean you fingerprinted pulp? Look, don't point out the plot holes.

We just needed a way to get here, okay? And so they're like, we're going to have to take you back to jail, House. And so this is a spoiler for the whole series. So if you don't want to listen, I guess. Spoilers for House. Spoilers for House. And by the way, this finale did air like 2009. But still, I want to be respectful.

So House, instead of going back to jail for what is at most like a level one misdemear or level three misdemeanor. The least amount of misdemeanor. It depends on the damage. Depends on the damage. It's just like not anything. So instead of going back to jail, he fakes his own death in a warehouse fire and goes on a motorcycle ride across the country with his best friend. That's right. So that means they can bring a house, baby.

And that means they can bring it back. And I hope they do because there's nothing more sloppy and disgusting than Dr. House MD. And I can't get enough of it. And that is underrated. And overrated. trying to make me watch any show that's ever been nominated for an Emmy. That only has three seasons. Yeah.

I mean, to me that, and I'll stop talking, but to me that's the worst part of television, modern television, streamer television, is that you get one really good season of something. Like, like, Lindy and I actually both just finished Pluribus. I loved it. I loved it so much. And I'm like, immediately, Pluribus Season 2, question mark. Sure, sure. And Vince Gilligan's like, I have no idea.

We haven't even started writing it yet. It could be seven years before you get season two of pleuribus. I'm like, buddy, the pit was back in the lab immediately. They only made me wait six months. But in this season, I had to see a man's erect penis. Doesn't it feel like the writing's way worse this season of the pit? I haven't watched it yet. I don't care.

Yeah, yeah. It's like so on the nose. Like where, yeah, they're like, this is a death dula. What I do is this? I'm like, what the fuck are you doing all this shit now? The PID sometimes does a little bit of, you know, sort of like anachronistic wokeness, I guess, or I'm not sure. And sometimes, like, you get this with historical shows. Like, Friney Fisher was always doing this, too, like, historical wokeness where it would not have existed.

Where they're like, by the way, here's what, here are the statistics on sexual assault, as if any two ER doctors would be having some conversation about, or like black women are often underdiagnosed for XYZ mental illness or for XYZ mental illness or for XYZ. pain medication or whatever. And it's like, I'm sure those conversations happen, but you are really. I feel like they did it subtly. They did it subtly with the woman who had sickle cell. Like I felt like that was just like a patient came in and that naturally comes up. Like don't ever tell this person they're not in pain when they're in panel. I was like, oh, okay, that's.

But this season, it really feels like, here's a new concept that I will explain very painfully to you. What is something you think is overrated? Okay, I think that learning new slang is overrated. I think that the slang that you use should be representative of your age. I don't think you need to say let's fucking go if you are 40 years old. I just feel like you use the slang you learned when you were younger. I think slang should be, I think you hear someone speak slang and you know their age.

I don't like older people using newer slang. I think that's cool beings. Let us fucking go. See, I like that. Yeah, you got it. That is cool beans. I just feel like, because I, you know, and that's tea, you know, ultimately. And ultimately that's tea, cat. And I'm sure I'm guilty of this as well, but I do think it is the appropriation. I get so mad when they're like, it's Gen Z slang and like black people have been saying it for 40 years. Right. That could be true. That could be true. But it's just, it's always, it's always looked on in a negative light. Like, you know, the like Pokemon go to the polls, which obviously wasn't something anyone even said. But like, I would say that all the time. I guess you're right. But it's just always embarrassing when older people try to use new slang.

And I don't think you need to, you know. I think you can just use the slang. Like, you know, we can still say things are tight. That's fine. That's our culture, you know. I don't think we need to add new stuff. Tight was good. Keep it up.

But then how do you communicate with younger generations? How do you translate the text? Why do you need to? Because when we go to the island, oh, fuck. Oh, shit. Oh, God damn. There we go. I got you.

Yeah, the only reason people use new slang is to be pet files. That's the ultimate point of trying to make. That is how we should start getting people to. Anyone who knows what T is is a petal file. Tea is grass, right? It's Mary Jane. That is the beat generation called T, called weed T. I just feel like I see a lot of older people really trying hard to use young slang,

and I don't think you need to. I just don't think it's necessary. The Guardian has an article that's getting past your own this morning about clavicular. Oh, my God. And the headline is, The disturbing rise of clavicular, how a looksmaxer turned his horror story into fame. They're just like that. What do you mean a horror story? He beat himself in the face with a hammer.

Like, what? What is he? All I've seen is him being talked about. What is he? Explain him in a minute. Okay. He's like a weird. He makes, first of all, he makes 57. thousand dollars a year and think that's

thinks that's a lot. And then he's like, isn't that great? And he's like, he's like in the weird kind of the kick streaming, like young men. He literally is like trying to look smacks. He thinks that looks are the end all

be all to everything. He hit himself in the face with a hammer to change his drawline. He also ran over a man live on stream. I don't know if that guy died, but Like, it was, like, insane. It was insane.

He's like this weird. He's like, what, 20? 20 something? Sounds like he's manslaughter maxing a little, too. Mm-hmm. It's unclear if he's manslaughter masking or jester maxing. He is hot, though, right? Like, I saw one.

Yeah, he seems hot, right? Yeah, he's pretty hot. You've got to stop saying these children are hot. No, no. I just mean, it's literally like 20. No, no. I just mean it's not like he's like, he, like, People regard him as attractive, right?

So that's like part of his thing. I think, but I think he's like built himself into that. I think he's just like a white boy. Like, you know what I mean? I think that's his whole thing. He's also said that he uses meth to cut weight. And I know, which is again, just appropriating culture that we've all been doing for years. And to help his addiction.

Did he, did the hammer thing work? Did he get like better? I don't think. any of this is real, by the way. Like, I don't, I think we would, I think he would be, uh, under arrest if he had actually hit that guy with this car. You don't think that was real? I don't know.

It seems. I thought that that was like a guy who was like a stalker. I thought he did have to go. I don't know. I mean, maybe this is based on very little knowledge, but just every, everything I've heard, it seems, like he's like, I have taken so many steroids that I'm now infertile. and it just seems like he like says shit to like make the wildest character possible essentially.

But I haven't watched the video where he allegedly runs over somebody with his car. Also, I just think he did do that part. His name is Braden. Braden Peters. Braden Peters. Yeah. Braden.

That's the first thing of looks maxing is change your name if it's Braden. He called Gavin Newsom a chat. So that's cool. Is it? No, I don't know what's happening. All right. Let's take a quick break.

We need to reset. We will be back to talk about two alpha, alpha, I don't know. Two heroes, RFK Jr. and Kid Rock. We'll be right back. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news.

What's the news, huge news? We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast. Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts.

We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how did we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down?

Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letter help make you funnier. This week, my guest,

SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body, having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of

turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Keith Gianmanca seemed like a mild-mannered suburban dad, but secretly, he became someone else, a master of disguise who went on a crime spree.

At the time, did it seem like a crazy idea? It seemed very crazy. But I felt so desperate that I felt it was the quickest, easiest way out. Did you allow yourself to think about how it could go wrong and what that might look like? No. I didn't want to manifest that. I was trying to manifest success. Every family has its secrets.

But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life. That is not the look of an innocent man. This is going to change my life and my family dynamic forever because everything that had existed prior in my reality is now untrue. Listen to Deep Cover the Family Man on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Well, I write trivia questions for TV game shows and for my podcast Go Fact Yourself.

So most of my Google searches really confuse Google because it thinks that I'm into various things that I'm not. But so I'm always researching trivia, always having to fact check stuff, can't trust AI for that stuff. And the latest thing that I came across is something called Wackers Manual. The Wackers Manual. The Wackers Manual. Yes. And I will let your imaginations run wild is what that is. It's already gone, Jay Keith.

Don't worry. Well, it gets worse. It just ran out the door. It ain't coming back. There's actually a mile-shaped hole in the wall behind Miles. Miles's mind-shaped hole in the wall behind them. And Wackers Manual, it gets worse, was distributed to eighth graders in the early 20th century and was a part of a required curriculum in certain parts of America.

So I will tell you that it ends up being a little bit disappointing when you find out what it actually is. But it definitely was fun to write questions about something called Wackers Manual that was distributed to eight eighth grade boys. Now is a Wacker a description of a person or is Wacker the last name of the person who's saying this is their manual? You have keyed on something very important. If you want to get to the actual. Yeah, that's the part.

Because my mind's going doing the former. That is what I was hoping for. But yes, no, it is somebody's name. It is the possessive. Damn it. It's Wackers manual. I'm sorry to point out. But you know what?

You can make your own manual for whatever else you had in mind. Yeah, yeah. Just called it. How to Jack Off. Exactly. I think it's the one. So I'm very curious to see what my Facebook ads are about to be since I don't know if the internet knows that's what it is. The least necessary manual for teenage boys. How to jack off. What do I do with this thing? You want me to put my what in my who? No. Wait, so now I'm curious. What is Wackers manual? Well, it turned out disappointingly, I'm sorry, Miles. Wackers Manual was a manual written by someone named Wackers.

who was writing out what his plan was for the city of Chicago. There's a famous Wacker Drive in Chicago with a lot of famous famous buildings there. And so he wrote a manual that was teaching kids about civics and about Chicago city government. I know. I'm sorry. Do one about jacking on.

Well, it's not too late to put your up. But where did his ancestors get that last name? You know what I'm saying? The Wacker Clan. I think they know. Yeah. They were removing weeds, actually. Fuck.

Yeah. This never gets any better. You guys are so rigorously boring. What do your, as somebody who's constantly searching weird shit, do you see yourself like being served ads that you wouldn't expect? Like, can you see the trace of they're listening to me? Oh, 100%. my searches. Oh, for sure. Yeah, that's something, as we've, like, done this more topical version of the show,

and I'm, like, researching Maryland on Roe, and then, like, all of a sudden, like, there will be on Netflix, it'll be like Maryland on Roe documentary. Yeah. God forbid, God forbid you look up anything about mattresses or beds or sleep, because I think most of the people who, you know, who pay the most to auction to get their ads in. So, yeah, it took me about six months to clear anything related to mattresses or sleeping or anything. from my ad feed. The speed at which like the algorithms are like, you're going to have a kid, aren't you, you little freak?

It was so jarring that I got to creepier about it. They're like, well, well, well, someone's been busy, huh? Oh, somebody's shooting up the club, huh? You're not just having sex for pleasure. I'm like, what? Shooting up the club? We don't even talk like that anymore. Who says that?

That's a 10-year-old phrase. What's something you think is overrated? Morgan. Dr. Seuss. go on take us into your world of Seuss hatred I just feel like

is it that impressive to rhyme made up words with other made up words huh okay like if it was a book full of rhymes

of normal words cool like yeah yeah yeah but if it's like your rhyme in flusel

with dozel right right like that's anybody can do that yeah yeah so I don't really get

yeah Yeah. Well, how do you feel about star-bellied sneaches? Is that a Dr. Seuss thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that one was like an allegory for race, I believe. Okay. I think they all mostly are.

Yeah, right. Race are trees. I got it. It's like a Zootopia thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, Doc. It's like we're all different races, but also different species. Yeah.

Species, but also the cops. Some of us are cops. The cops are pretty cool, huh? Right? No? No? No love for that one? All right.

Hey, forget it, Jake. It's Zootopia. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Dr. Seuss, I don't have, I have a, my son, is three. You're in your Seuss era. You're in your Seuss era, brother. Not into it.

Not into Seuss. Those are just, those are elementary level rhymes. Those are not fucking bars. And I get the nostalgia, but I also didn't have, my parents didn't have a ton of Dr. Seuss shit when I was a kid. So I think like there's levels to it because I know other people who have so much Dr. Seuss stuff for their kids because like they grew up.

There's like a lot of Seuss momentum, I think, in their family. They can't break the cycle. Yeah. Luckily for me, there was no cycle to break. I feel like the doctor did quite a lot of work there. That's true. That's true. I think it was just from the era where if you were a parent, you were desperately trying whatever because you had.

I mean, we went past the information. era of having enough information and now we're in the era of everyone has too much and mostly wrong information. Right. But they were in the sweet spot of like, not only do we not know, there's no way we could know what the right move is. Right. And this is a doctor.

Yeah. And he was like sports medicine, I think. Right, right. I mean, there's like Dr. Spock's, you know, baby and child care. He could have been a fake doctor. It could have been fine. It could have been motherfucking spock from Star Trek. Yeah.

Yeah. You know what I mean? But it's like, well, doctor. that legitimizes it. Leonard D. Everyone wanted to be a doctor. I get it. It's funny the made-up words thing,

because it's like, somehow, like, worse than what chat GPT could do. Like, it's like, what? You know what I mean? Like, chat dbtee would just, would find a word that matches.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is somehow lazier than that intellectually. That's what I actually is. It's kind of lazy. Like, if you just, you hit a wall where you're like, oh, I've hit a wall. I guess I,

I'm just like that new creature called the draw. Yeah, right. It's like a bad freestyle. I knew you were going to say frown. Parallant thinking. I wonder if like Dr. Seuss was just sort of like, he's like, man, it's like, I'm trying to do some of that white jazz poetry country. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Like scatting. Yeah. Yeah. He was trying to scat and they're like, get this cracker out of here. And then he was like, fuck. Take your big hat and go. Fuck out of here.

That can't have. Bullshit. They were on mad LSD, brothers. It's fine. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, your era. You know about that. It's cool.

Were you when at Seuss's contemporaries, right? Back then? Yeah, well, I, if you detect a note of bitterness, it is because he got me out of the game. I was running the children's book game until his ass came along. It's like how, it was like David Foster Wallace, like in English class with James Patterson or something?

Or John Grisham or something? That's something. So you're the David Foster Wallace in this equation. Yeah, I have integrity and a thick-ass children's book. Yeah. With footnotes. What is something you think is overrated? At risk of this being maybe too sincere, but being angry on the internet is overrated right now.

Or making yourself angry reading the internet is really one thing that I am passionate about. Because I am like mostly a social media creator these days and it feels bad to be part of that. ecosystem. I don't like that I'm supporting those people who are making money off it and the bad feelings. But I'm just a big proponent that you don't have to feel bad while you're scrolling. And my main thing that I think are not enough people know, this is underrated, is having a fake Instagram, a Finsta, but just to follow things that make you calm and not angry. So you can have your angry feed. But you have a separate one where you only follow, you know, bunny bunnies and fashion or whatever you're like that's non-controversial.

And then you have your like, this is my, I'm not angry time. And you go scroll the nice things. And then you can go back to your meme algorithm. But you can teach an algorithm. You only want nice things. It's very doable. And so have a second account that's calm. That's my advice.

That's good. Or, you know, the producer just says something that is a pretty good point. Your calm account can be the main account and your angry account. I love calm on me. And I think that's a great idea. I wasn't sure if we're supposed to answer the questions that are texted from the producer or if we should pretend that's not happening. No, that's awesome for you and your mental health. And I love it.

And I think maybe sometimes you need to dip in the news. Keep that in a little cage. Keep it a separate. That's your Finsta where you actually learn about the horrors. See, here's what I do. Like, I, on Instagram is generally chill for me. Like, is wrestling, sports, food. mood. Every once in a while,

tities pop through my algorithm. And then I'm like, this is nice. And then it gets too much. And then I'm like, all right, I'm not a fucking, I don't just want, like, naked people. So then I had to retrain my algorithm to take it all off. Yeah. But on threads, on threads is where I be upset. Yeah, just separate platforms for separate. I just do. Threads is where I just be. You're saying it's just for nudity? Threads is where I get on my porn. That's why I get on my porn. No,

threads is where, threads is where I get angry. There is this is where I be. And I'm starting to pull back on that now, too, because it's taken too much of my energy. I mean, I think there's a lot of stuff wrong with the way Facebook thinks about the world. But one of the things that threads has is a how angry do you want to be setting where you can be like all politics, some politics, no politics. And it will filter out stuff that makes you. And there are other things that will make you angry. There's definitely a lot of people being like, this is how you should clean your legs and then everyone fights about it or whatever.

But like, it's still rage baity. But I actually like thinking of that slider as a thing you have in your brain when you train your algorithm. So, yeah, you can go from, like, news and things that make you angry. You can slide the slider over more towards boobs, or you could go back. It's up to you. That's you're in control of your own algorithm. It's overrated being angry all the time. It's not good for you.

You're right. The block button and the mute button. Yeah, mute stuff. A great allies. You guys go have fun without my life. I don't need it. Nah, I can't have them talking. Can't have those guys who disagree with me talking without me.

I better know what I. They better know that I disagree with them. Let me tell you a little secret. Just make a good enough argument. They're going to come. You'll go through it. You'll be the one. Here's a secret for you, Jack.

Here's what you can do. Yeah. You see something and you see something. And maybe if you see something, you say something. You see something. That's the theme of threads. That's the theme of threads, 100%. You see something that makes you upset or like somebody's response and blah, blah, blah,

go in on them. Go in on them. Say what you got to say. And then restrict them and mute them. So you don't see anything they say again. And they can't respond on shit that you got posted. So that's the last thing they see. And they can't even respond.

There's no other option. The door slams on them as you leave your message. Yes. And don't block them because in a case, see nothing. Mute them. Restrict them. I've had to block people for like the craziest things because people, especially on threats,

people will lose their minds for stuff. Where I had, I had made just the dumbest joke about how the instant pot takes longer than an instant to make food. And I had to block a lady who was, so mad that I disrespected the instant pot. And then her husband

went to Instagram to tell me to unblock his wife. And I had to block him on Instagram to be like, I'm not doing instant Instapot. And then their uncle came through. Yeah, really? How many people?

Family waging war on you. And I hate to say this, Alex, but they sent me today to tell you. I'm the third Cousapot mafia sends its regards. I do. always find this interesting. Like there are some things that are like circumcision is obviously one of them.

But like Instapod is not one that I knew was like secretly going to create a flame more. People love that device. And I think that's fine, but it's not instant. Like no, the least, it's the wrong name. The thing that's good about it is you put shit in there and then forget about it. And it.

Yeah, you can do pressure, which is slightly faster. But we do a lot of like using like a crock pot where it takes a long time. I'm like, why would, like, why would you let people lie to you when you buy their cool pot? That's all. That's all. Or why, if you were the set it, forget it thing that isn't fast and, like, in fact,

it's just like a fun little, like, it's kind of the opposite. Why would you call it Instapot? I mean, given how much hate I got about this, I'm really glad to hear you on board from the beginning. No, it's just a, it's just a conversation about fucking names. Like, just name your thing a better thing. I mean, if you were mad that it's not a great joke to say the pot is not instant, then like we could talk about that. I mean,

the wording was better than that. But still, it's not a great premise. It was just, it was worth a thread. I was worth to pop in between Jakeez's porn. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Are there any other things that you've noticed

are like weirdly, controversial? Like, obviously not the main, the main ones, but. Oh, I mean,

literally everything is controversial. That's definitely the silliest thing that I've ever had to block somebody over. But yeah, people take every, I mean, you know the thing that internet does where you're like, I like Lego and someone's like, a Lego killed my mom. How could you say that?

Like I, so everything I've ever posted, somebody had something that's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, actually saying that is really insensitive to all the people. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah. Everybody who got feet that stepped on a Lego. Yeah, yeah. It's really disappointing.

And then you say that and be like, what about all the people that don't have feet? Actually, the way you said, really disappointing is the other thing is they don't, they're not mad anymore. So they just say they're disappointed. They just like stepdad energy. Yeah. Yeah. Do better.

My mom died from Legos. Do better. All right. And that's going to do it for this special Memorial Day edition of Oops, all overrated, underrated. And we'll be back tomorrow with a whole last episode.
