Oh, I didn't I didn't see it on there. I did not see it on there. Was that that was one of those random ones did.

But you guys didn't find anything on subway, huh? There wasn't. I tried looking it up because I saw some something like last week, but I couldn't really determine what it was saying. Twenty three subway stores closed in Oregon and Washington last week, but I couldn't really determine what it was saying 23 subway stores closed in Oregon and Washington last week there There's it's just there has to be Lehman's parents Lehman's parents owned a subway in Manhattan They were like the first really franchise owners in Manhattan, but it was like before subway was profitable So it was just like a shit show and they smelled like bread all the time They all hate some point. I wouldn and they smelled like bread all the time. And they all hate Subway now.

I wouldn't mind smelling like bread all the time though. Not that bad bread though. It's not a good smell. It's a different bread. I thought we had agreed that the universally celebrated embraced smell that we could all agree on is the smell of fresh bread. Fresh dough.

I'm on the fence in this argument because I at the same time like the smell of Subway bread, but I acknowledge that in the list of all the subs out there in bread, it's not the best smell. No, I see both sides to this. Well, the both, don't both sides this. This is Subway. I'm on the fence right now.

Subway is the more affordable of the options and you generally end up getting what you pay for. And so yes, if you're willing to go pal around with Jersey Mike and pay $19 for a sub, you're all set. Huh, those chicken cheesesteaks though. My God. If you don't mind paying four times the price for fresher bread.

What about Quiznos? What happened to, I liked Quiznos. Oh man. I like Quiznos. Quiznos smelled good. Close to the oven, right. They toasted it. Quiznos smelled good. It's close to the oven. They toasted it. It comes out the other side.

Yeah. The turkey ranch. Ugh. I was a Quiznos and a firehouse gal myself. Oh, firehouse. Jersey mice came late in the game for me. And then I had to quit bread. I used to love firehouse.

It's gotten a little mushy for me over the years. Really? It's kind of like all one texture of mushy. But Dan is right. This is a sacred smell. And it seems to be like, you know, people are questioning whether or not it's a good smell or not because they're in a Subway. Fresh bread is a great smell.

What they're doing. I want a cologne, fresh bread. Put it on the poll, please, Juju, at Levitard Show. Would you like a cologne that smells like fresh bread? Not fresh Subway bread, though. No, not fresh Subway bread. I would take Olive Garden breadsticks. Oh, now we're talking. 10 times before I take Subway bread though. It's just a different thing. I would take Olive Garden breadsticks. Oh, now we're talking.

10 times before I take Subway bread. I think what's happening here is that we're not going to find a Sub Shop that you guys hold in less regard than Subway because it's the most affordable. You guys are, and. then Subway because it's the most affordable you guys and When did Jimmy John's become this like expensive sub shop that I used to get a sandwich there for like four dollars That's a gourmet sandwich at Jimmy John's Jimmy John's is not somebody freaky fast I think that what happened here Dan is you're just comparing the fact that you've now had these sandwiches in the last what decade to 15 years

Come around after Subway was first and we all just sort of discovered. Oh comparing the fact that you've now had these sandwiches in the last, what, decade to 15 years come around after Subway was first, and we all just sort of discovered, oh, there are some tastier sandwich options for just a little bit higher of a price. But I think Dan is saying there's also some awful delis out there, and you guys haven't been to them, because there are. I mean, in New York City.

You're telling me I've never been to an awful deli? There are some terrible delis. I mean, delis in New York City are a crap shoot. They really are. Put it on the poll, please, Juju, at Le delis. I mean delis in New York City are a crap shoot. They really are. Put it on the poll please, Juju, at Levitard Show. Are delis in New York City a crap shoot? You were saying, Jessica? This Jersey Mike sub, 8.25.

So good. I don't know how long it is though. It's not a $5 from long. Yeah, but Jersey Mike's does this thing where their regular is like, and then if you get the larger, it's like the giant and it's like way too much. Like, they have this thing at Jersey Marks where like the regular's not enough,

and their giant is just too much. But you fall for it every time. Whereas the Subway 12-inch is just that perfect, I can crush both of these. Both of these, damn it. 12 inches. PP. He's rattled.

Do you wanna get the sound of you saying what you said you did not say, which is that you were during a sponsored segment telling people to see Beep-beep on the internet. I don't have that I think we should get that and we should find we should we should send it to the sponsor send it to game time and Show them the kind of professional outfit that they've gotten into a relationship with That you're advocating during their spots for porn That's what you'll get and you like it are advocating during their spots for porn.

That's what you'll get. And you'll like it. It's a judge coach, sweetie. I should go say hello.
