The Standup with ThePrimeagen - Living like Trash | Parking Lot

Episode Date: October 12, 2026

Casey Muratori attempts to experience life as Trash by ordering his favorite Taco Bell meal. Unfortunately, everything goes wrong. From a canceled podcast to a suspiciously unfried Chalupa, the crew investigates what happened and debates the proper way to experience Taco Bell.

Trash and I need to have a little discussion here about what happened with the Taco Bell. So we need to get that out of the way first. Quick point of reference, though, if you don't have a stash of T-Vell sauces in your drawer ready anytime they forget your T-bell for a DoorDash order, you're not doing it right. Am I right, Trash? Right here. I got my backup stash. I'm going to surprise you.

I'm not a sauce guy. Okay. Oh. What? You just eat it. You just need it raw, naked? I mean, it comes with everything it needs. Nope.

So I'll get, we'll get into this, but. Okay, all right. Okay, hold on. I was watching Casey's streamed and I was just like screaming at you. No! No! Someone answers questions. Yeah, yeah.

Why didn't you answer it? You did. Hey, guys, since we're here, okay. I believe we need to take the Taco Bell issue. Let's put it in here. Yeah, basically go back to in progress. Just right.

Casey and Trashy to unrap this issue. Yeah. Okay. What's going on? here. All right. So basically, I got chumped like 3X is basically what happened here. So I got

chumped by Prime. I got chumped by Taco Bell and I got jumped by trash all in like one outing. It's basically what happened. So let me just describe the situation for the folks at home who didn't

see this unfold on Twitter or on the live stream. So I wanted to experience. life as trash firsthand. So I know he posts a lot about going, like, wanting to get Taco Bell at night. And like, like, this being like almost like a siren call to him. Like, it's like the Taco Bell is singing sweetly, you know, out there in the rocks. And he's, he's like trying to do the show.

He's the modern Odysseus. He is. The modern Odysseus. Yes. Tacodysius. And so I'm like, I'm going to go. And I asked. I asked trash, I was like, what is the order?

Like, when you go there, what do you get? I'll order that, and I'm going to try it myself. And he said, I wrote this down, so I probably won't remember exactly, but I think he said, caramel apple empanata, which he said they only have at certain locations. They said they don't always have that. It's like seasonal too, something like that. Is it caramel?

I don't know which one is. I said caramel. Okay. Okay, just checking. I don't know which spelling it was. I don't know if it was caramel. or caramel. I'm not sure. Well, people pronounce it either way, right?

Sure, but people spell it different ways to, for some reason. Caramel is how I normally say it and spell it, but I'm not sure. Carmel apple is said pretty frequently, so anyway, I have no idea about any of that, because I never got one. We'll get to that in a second. And then he said the steak chalupa supreme. Okay? So the order was supposed to be steak chlupon, between caramel apple or caramel apple. And he said if they don't have the apple,

if they don't have the empanata, then get a steak, crispy steak taco. Oh, sorry, crispy taco with no, you didn't say which. Crunchy taco Supreme. Oh, okay, crunchy taco Supreme. I think that's what you got.

I think that's what you got. Okay, so that's what we were supposed to get. So I, in the morning, last week, in the morning, I wake up, It's like, you know, 9 o'clock or whatever. Podcast is 10 o'clock here. At 9.30, I'm like, hey, guys, are we doing the stand-up today? Everyone's like, yes.

So I'm like, great. I'm going to go to Taco Bell. Get this. I can eat it on the stand-up. I go out there. I drive to the Taco Bell that's closest to this, to the house here. I drive to the Taco Bell. I get, you know, through the drive-through.

I ask, I'm like, I need a, uh, steak chalupa supreme or whatever it is and do you have a caramel pananao they're like no so i'm like okay then i need a crispy uh tacos like what uh supreme what meat and i'm like i don't know chicken because i was just like i figured mine as well right try a different thing than the steak because i'm going to have the steak in the other one or whatever now here's the thing here's where i got the only place that that trash really failed me they started asking a bunch of questions i don't have the answers to you never told me they were going to ask me questions trash they never asked those questions. Hit us with a question. Hit us with a question. What do you mean by a question you weren't prepared to answer?

So first off, they said, I don't even remember all the questions. The first thing they asked was, do you want on the, on the, both things, both of the, both items. They said, do you want sour cream? They asked. That feels like a personal preference. Do you need Trash's opinion on that one? Yes, because I want to experience the order as trash. Okay, okay, this is fair. Okay. I want to know what trash thinks is good. I eat almost everything. So it's not like I'm going to be like, ew, sour cream or something.

It's like, I'm going to eat it like trash eats it, right? This is like when the kids, like they buy Michael Jordan's shoes so they can, you know, be like him or whatever. I want to experience the world in a trash way. I don't want to experience it in a me way. I can go to Taco Bell myself, right? True. They asked another question that I didn't understand.

I don't remember what it was. It was like, do you want sorry people or do you want something? And then the last one was, do you want it? spicy. I said yes to the spicy because I figured that I wouldn't notice either way because I don't really notice spice that much. I'm like, you might as well just in case. You have, can I just interject for one second? You may not have noticed spice until you hang out with Lindsay. Big Z on our team. She will, you will notice spice after hanging out with her. She orders the legitimate hoboneros and it's a very different experience. That sounds like my kind of thing,

though. That is like where I would like to be. Yes. I want, I want. She does have a, she has a little bit of a problem though, like, Began makes Shepherds pie. And then she's like, I have to add habanero sauce to this. And you're like, that's the wrong genre. Okay. We got to keep those. There's no, there's no Irish shepherds out there making their pies and thinking what this needs is habanero. Okay. That is not. She does have like the classic, like put hot sauce on everything, except for it. is just like, oh, just put habaneros on that. It doesn't matter what it is. It's just like, hey, what are you having a night? Sheppert's fine. That's the one that always tilts vegan. It's so funny. It's like, I made Shepherd's Pie for three hours and then she put hot sauce on it.

Just picture of Began making Shepard's pies are already funny to me. I'm going to go to the chocolate. Excellent cook. Don't let it only said so. Oh, trash. Next time we're in L.A., we'll do an evening. Began will make us some delicious food. Great cook.

Yeah, great cook. That's shocking to me. I'm going to bring a little, like, I'm going to bring a little ghost pepper salt, like thing in my pocket and just be like, yeah, it's all right, vegan, but let me, I'm just going to add a little bit of hot sauce to it. There we go. Just to spice it up a little. Yeah. All right. Sorry for interrupting.

The only thing, I do have to just mention quickly, trash, when we do it, just plan on four hours for dinner. Okay. Began's a great cook, but he likes. He does artisanly cook one item at a time. Okay, trash, you want your burger? I'm going to cook one burger. That's just That's just like a Michelin Star

That's just like a Michelin Star restaurant It's true Right The dishes come out very slowly They're tiny I lose my mind Yeah We'll feed you first

Trash We'll feed you first Okay Don't listen We'll have some like Peach rings laying around Or something like that And kind of keep you entertained

Funnions I like that I like it Yeah Funnians Anything ring shaped I'll eat it And got you games

Or whatever you play I'm not really sure What goes on over there A few card packs to rip In the meantime You'll be all set Don't worry about it. We'll take care of you.

All right. All right. Casey, continue. So, so now the chumping begins. So I get the order. I bring it home. I get, I come upstairs. I was like, just in time.

I log on to the Discord or whatever, and I open it up and you're like, oh, yeah, no podcast to you guys. What? Do you need an explanation or do you just want to keep it the way it is? No, no, we don't need an explanation. I just want people to know how... This is how it is here, right? It's just like... They're like, yeah, you did all this work

to do a cool thing on stream, but just, you know, yeah, you know, it's not happening today. Now you just got to eat Taco Bell at home, like, sitting in front of your computer by yourself. Like, have fun with that. So... I do that all the time.

It's nothing wrong with that. So maybe I was having the trash experience. You were having the trash experience. So I decided to stream this. So I open up the stream. and I, you know, I unwrap the food items, and I noticed that I think, I think, I don't know, I got chumped by Taco Bell as well.

Because not only did they not have caramel impanata at this location, although they do have it at other locations in this area. So like the one close to me is, is it particularly not good? But they also did not deep fry the chalupa Supreme, which isn't that what a chalupa is? What what constitutes a chalupa? Because isn't a chalupa supposed to be fried? Is that not?

What's a chalupa normally? I will, I assume that's the crunchy side of it, right? Isn't that? It was not crunchy outside. Oh. Or do they deep fry the whole dang thing? They deep fried the whole thing, I think. Deep fried the bread.

Or something. I don't know. Okay, the bread then. They didn't do that. It's a defried tortilla looking thing, whatever that is. They did not do it. So I just got, it was just a gordita. That's basically called a gordita is a non-deafrieta.

fried chalupa. Do we know if those are real words or does taco I don't actually know. Actually when I was watching Casey's stream I was like he was like chelupa should be fried I was like is chelupa a real word?

I like Googled it and like I think it was like a fried thing I was like oh shit it's actually real. I thought these were Taco Bellisms. Yeah. So the end of the story is I'm going to have to do this again because not only did I not get to stream it here

but I also didn't really experience the items at all. Like our Taco Bell, the local Taco Bell here obviously has no idea what they're doing. Okay, how about this one? Casey, can I just throw something out here? Sure. We need to do a climbing gym stand-up episode. Yes. I would just say, let's just Seinfeld this bad boy get, you know, stand up in a car, yep, driving to Taco Bell, yep, eating some Taco Bell. Yeah. Judging Trashes, kind of like take on what a good Taco Bell. I haven't eaten Taco Bell in two decades. Yeah. So this will be a, this will be an experience for me.

Well, when's this happening? I'm still waiting for this climbing. I'm ready to climb. This is kind of like a TJ thing. Like, TJ has to win it. Okay. I want to do these things, but we won't do them unless. No, I get stoked.

Okay, so I'm the energizer. I'm like, let's do this. This is awesome. And then TJ is the unfortunate person that has to deal with me being stoked. Okay, so you're the stoker. He's the shoveler. He has to shovel the actual coal to stoking the fire, but someone has to do the manual labor.

See, you just watch his prime get stoked all the time. He's like, all right. Yeah, what I really like is when Prime promises to do something with people, and we're in a room where I really can't tell him that that's a terrible idea. That's my favorite. Okay, okay, all right. Walking that back is fun. I see.

Hold on. Let me just quickly rebuttal before we start. Okay, great point. So first of all. Wait, don't worry. Don't worry. Trash, I got your back. I've already put it under contention.

Okay. Good, good. That's right. So first of all those questions, never been asked those in my life. Spicy. Supreme implies sour cream. Okay. You have to have sour cream.

Okay. Yeah, that's true. That's true. The sour cream is my sauce, effectively. Okay. Not fried, weird. It is a Gradita. I like Redita's too.

I'll take either one. Okay. Crunchy Taco Supreme. I do beef. You have to experience the beef mainly because it's just so bad. It's 36% beef, right? Like, if we're going to be honest here, it's 36% beef. It's not beef.

it's, I don't know what it is, if I'm being honest. But you just don't question these things. Okay, right, right. There's a thing you need to understand. I don't think Taco Bell is a 9 a.m. kind of food. Yeah. I think Taco Bell is like, it's fair. Okay.

The only time I eat Taco Bell is I'm on my computer, late at night, playing StarCraft, and there's literally nothing else open and I'm starting it. Okay. Okay, so when I eat it. Climbing Gym, StarCraft, Taco Bell episode of a stand-up. Like, really, if we're going to do this properly. But you have to be like right in the right mind space. Like Taco Bell isn't something like when I'm hungry, oh, let's just go get Taco Bell.

It has to be like, I'm starving. This is the only thing I can eat at this moment. Like my choices are McDonald's and Taco Bell, right? Those are like 50-50, flip a coin. But it is delicious. And I've never had it with a jalapinos or whatever in there. I didn't even know they had jalapinos at Taco Bell from being honest. They probably don't.

This is a weird mystery Taco Bell that doesn't do anything right. The jalapinos are the best part though. He probably went to Del Taco. That's why this whole thing is confusing right now. Yeah. They're like chalupa. I don't know, man. Google it.

They're like, okay, give him a big fat chicken taco. Yeah, I know. They said, welcome to Taco Bell. Like, they thought they are acting like it's a Taco Bell. That doesn't mean it is. Give him a BFCT, okay? He'll have no idea. Yeah.

I wonder if it might just be a bunch of people in there who put up a Taco Bell signer to like, we're making this up as we go, guys. They changed it to like Taco Bell, but it's like the Taco Girl. You know, it's like Taco Bell. Yes, yes. Oh, my goodness. Yes. Yeah.

It's French tacos. That's actually such a... How long until... Hey, you know what, honestly, great transition. How long until you get in some sort of legal trouble from being that close to the actual trademark? Yep. It was a clean room implementation of the restaurant. Okay?

So it's totally legal. Right. We're going to move yours. It's done. Okay, we're out of this. It's cooked.
