I'm right about a lot of things that people have zero clue that they even know is going on.

Oh, okay.

HBO Max presents a new comedy series, The Chair Company.

You've been distracted, Ron.

I feel like you're hiding something.

There's so much badness in this world.

From the creators of I Think You Should Leave.

People are nuts out there.

Starring Tim Robinson.

Oh my god, you're disgusting.

These are my work clothes.

The HBO original series, The Chair Company, premieres this Sunday at 10 p.m.

Booyah.

If you've watched American sports since the 90s, you've probably heard booyah invoked to emphasize a particularly sensational play, for instance, a nasty dunk.

Boo Yah was an innovation of the late, great Stuart Scott, an ESPN Sports Center anchor who popularized the seemingly nonsense word, among other notable catchphrases, which included as cool as the other side of the pillow and just call him butter because he's on a roll.

But prior to Scott introducing bouilla into the sports lexicon, the word had history in the American Midwest, where, perhaps only coincidentally, the influential sportscaster was born.

In the mid-19th century, Belgian immigrants arrived in Wisconsin and brought with them a chicken stew that was given the name bouilla.

While the exact etymology is unknown, speculation is it either came from the French word bouillon or the Walloon word bouillou, Walloon, a dying language that was more widely spoken by the working class in some regions of Belgium in previous centuries.

150 years later, in 1997, a Belgian chain restaurant founded in the capital of Brussels made its way stateside, its French language name translating as the Daily Bread.

And while Bouya is not on the menu, it does boast an array of soups to complement its wheat-centric offerings, eaten in store at its signature communal table.

With our focus just on hot liquid calories, will the daily bread's daily soups make us say boo ya or boo na?

This week on Doughboys, we continue Croc Dough Burn FaS 2025, a supersized month of bisques, broths, stews, and stocks, and crocs with the soups of La Pin Cotidienne.

Welcome to Dough Boys, the podcast about chain restaurants.

I'm Tiger Weiger, along with my co-host,

Obi-Wanton Kadobe,

the Spoon Man, Mike Mitchell.

What?

Obi-Wanton Kadobe.

Wantons.

Okay.

The Spoon Man Mike Mitchell.

Like Kedoba?

No, it's not.

I guess it could be Obi-Wanton Kudoba, but no, it's Kedobi.

Like,

like, Dough.

Kado.

Kenobi, but a Doe.

All right, you understand Kedobi seeming strange.

I agree.

I think it's maybe Gilding the Lily.

I think Obi-Wonton Kenobi would probably be enough.

Or Obi-Wan Kadobi.

We might be able to, but just trying to do both.

It's a hat on that.

I don't like it.

You don't like it?

No, it's fine.

Alts.

Obi-Wonton Kalachi.

Okay.

Obi-Wanton Kahogi.

You know, I like that one.

The Hoagie one is the better one.

The Roaster Dead, Long Live the Roast Ben, Roasted Bread.

I thought it was saying one ton, and I was like, that's meaner.

That would be mean.

One ton would be mean and not and inaccurate.

You're looking pretty slender these days.

Hey, thank you, Wax.

More like a wonton.

I am.

You're more like a wonton.

I am more like a wonton.

Do I weigh closer to a wonton or a ton?

I mean, a wonton.

A ton is a thousand pounds.

Is that what it is?

Yeah, a ton is

two thousand pounds.

Yeah, so definitely you're closer to a wonton, a single wonton, which is just probably a few ounces.

It's actually 2,205 pounds.

And how much does a wonton weigh?

Like 80 or 90 pounds, I think.

Yeah, it says.

Let's see.

A wonton weighs, goulei says 19 grams.

Okay, so I'm probably closer to that.

I think so.

So like four or five loads.

Sorry.

Mitch Crocodile.

Four or five loads.

Not for me, baby.

Croc Dough Burn Pho S 2025 continues here in right two of our super month.

I want to address something.

So, yeah, stay tuned.

Stay tuned.

Should be really exciting.

Yeah.

We requested.

We requested specifically one of us to be dismembered and dissolved in a barrel of acid.

We just don't know who it is.

But they did ask for the extra large bin.

Yeah, they asked for a big one.

So it could be either.

Wags, I've had a rough weekend.

Yeah.

I had food poisoning.

Dealing with the rumblies.

From a place that I get, I shouldn't.

Should I out the place?

Actually, I don't know.

I mean, because

you can believe it, but also it's like,

do you have you know what's funny is I can just say that beyond circumstantial evidence.

We bleeped this place before, remember?

Yeah, we,

I don't know

to bleep yourself.

Now you have to bleep yourself.

You outed them before.

That's why.

Yes, I did out them before, but I got, I got very bad food poisoning.

This same place did give me diarrhea recently.

Wait a minute.

I think someone from work got food poisoning from then on Friday.

No, Thursday, on Thursday.

Well, guess what?

That is the exact same day that I ate my meal from there.

I think maybe you should call them.

Which one, which one?

I think the Sunset Boulevard.

Is that the one that we would have gone to?

Probably not.

Probably not, but still, I mean, that maybe there was an issue with.

There might be something in their supply chain.

They might have some bad spinach or something.

Who fucking knows?

Well, we're giving more clues clues as to who it is.

Any place could have spinach, Mitch.

That's true.

Bad paper towels.

Well, that's a huge clue.

Only if you know the past doughboys can.

What's these freaks do?

Let me tell you, I could have, it would have helped if I ate a paper towel.

Hoped you had a paper towel on deck.

Yeah, sopped up some of that.

Let's just say it was

quite liquid, I guess, is what you would say.

It it was very, it was, uh, out of your butt or your mouth, just butt.

I was very, I went in for a wardrobe fitting on the Warner Brothers lot.

By the way, great question, Emma.

You know, food was.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I, I, I, because I take the GLP, I take a GLP-1 drug.

I take Zetbound.

And I woke up and I was like, oh, I feel kind of nauseous.

But I was like, and it was like just a couple of days after I took my shot.

So I was like, sometimes that can happen.

You don't feel great.

And then I took a shower and I was like, oh man, I feel like really nauseous.

and i laid down and then i went to warner brothers to uh get a wardrobe fitting uh-huh and i almost fainted in the wardrobe fitting and that's when i knew it was something bad and then i went home and

did they keep fitting you while you were pooping

i was not i was not pooping in there you know what and this is so because we've talked about this before because people i'll be like i drink like a coke to settle my stomach and people online are like the that's whatever and i she got me and she got me an ice cold coke and it like changed my life did you request it i was like can i get like can i get a soda or something because i thought my blood sugar was maybe low and she got me a coke and it was like a game change like it got me out of there without shitting my pants or throwing up basically and then uh i you hopped right to it playing live action you're somebody sam

you know i play porky pig he's being nice to me wait i don't get it for warner brothers uh you're gonna play porky pig

no he's being an asshole okay.

Why don't you say porky kid?

No, I don't listen to this show.

Well, we're still on funny, and we still don't make much sense.

Okay, but I know there's a great bit about eating paper towels that I've missed.

No, no, this is new.

This is new.

It was for, we'll bleep this.

It was for

oh, wow, awesome.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, cool.

Uh, we'll bleep that.

But, um, but I almost fainted and I went home and then the uh

soup was on after that wise.

I was uh, sorry, I was uh

out.

Your birthday was yesterday, and your theme for your party this Friday, which freaks can't go to because it will be over, uh, is is Pepto Bismol, which it was IBS.

IBS.

There will be Pepto shots.

There will be a bowl of Toms.

Um, everyone is encouraged to wear brown and

come with a stomachache.

Wow, well, I'll be ahead of the game, but I think that it lasted for a good, i was nervous because it lasted for like four or five or this this is the fit this would be five days

and yesterday i had it and my and i emailed my doctor and he was like it can be four or five days it can just that can is what can happen so i had a bad uh a bad run of it wax but uh doing all right we're back here and we got well and i hit him with a drop i was about to announce our guest

I heard the fucking craziest story.

I'm trying to remember where I heard this.

When you took a shit that you had to shit into

toilet paper

and then put that in the toilet.

That's so

crazy.

I don't remember if this was a podcast or a TV show.

Did you see this interview?

Wait, yes!

He wraps his hand in toilet paper and he hovers over his hand over the toilet bowl.

Every time he shits?

Yeah, and then guides it into the bowl.

They're on another podcast.

I could not turn it into my hand and wrap it up like a mummy and have it hell up.

You know what?

I feel like it was on Doughboys.

Oh, you know it was.

Wow, was that was that Threedom?

Yes.

We love the Threedom crew.

And that, was that your story was about the turd getting wrapped?

No, this was a story from

another podcaster, that we were relaying secondhand because someone had heard it.

Oh, that the podcaster.

It was a guy who found out on a podcast.

He found out on a podcast podcast that you're not supposed to

catch your shit and guide it into the bowl.

How is this not one of our listeners?

It sounds like it is.

Yeah, it possibly could be.

Are you all right over there?

Just kind of the dregs of content creation is that we're relaying something that was on a different podcast, on our podcast.

And then another podcast is talking about that.

Then another podcast is talking about a better podcast is talking about.

Hey, folks, it's been a while since I've submitted a drop, but I always love a good Threedom Doughboys crossover.

So here you go.

How about that?

Cheers to the whole Doe fan for another great pod year, Barry.

Hey, speaking of Ben.

Barry Lamb.

It's been a while.

Oh, was it Barry?

Barry Lamb.

Oh, there's a bunch of

large.

Oh my gosh, Barry from the Dough Spoiler.

You a Barry.

Mitch, Mitch,

I know you're trying to get to our guests, and I do want to get to our guest, but we have an announcement we do want to put out there or a thing we want to remind people of because it is tomorrow where we're going to be at New York Comic-Con.

That's right.

As of this episode's release, release.

We are already going to be at NYC, and we'll be at the Javit Center on Friday, October 10th at 3:45 p.m.

Eastern for a panel with a signing immediately afterwards.

It'll be me and Mitch in person, IRL, in the Big Apple, along with our comics writer, Alex Fear, artist Fred C.

Stressing, and colorist Meg Casey.

Plus, we'll have some convention exclusives, including a print by Roger Langridge and a tote bag.

So, come on out to that, see us at the Javit Center.

And yeah,

we'll talk about

tomorrow.

We're doing a signing there too, as well, right?

At Forbidden Planet.

No, are we doing a signing at the Javit Center?

That's directly after the panel, so 3:45 to 4.45, and then there's a signing directly.

And there's a signing after.

And then, speaking of signings, and also, can I just say this quickly?

We will sign titties and hogs,

but not asses, though.

No asses.

That's our red line.

No asses.

Our listeners' asses stink.

We can't have them pulling those things out.

We will also, speaking of signings, be doing a signing of our comics with

New York City's Forbidden Planet, the Legendary Comic Shop, at 4 p.m.

Eastern on Saturday.

We want people to come out, right?

All right.

Well, I can say the bleeper, I guess.

But yes, let me just get the details out clean.

At Forbidden Planet, 4 p.m.

Eastern on Saturday, October 11th.

So come on out to that as well.

We'd love to love to meet y'all.

I was singing It's Been a While because of our guests.

That's what I was getting into.

And I've just been watching our guests just be,

I think, just listening to our bullshit and questioning why she's here.

We'll get into it because it has been a while.

But Nane Gang, rejoice, returning to the show, a writer for The Simpsons, our dear friend Christine Nangel.

Hey, everyone.

Thanks so much for being here.

My pleasure.

I'm sorry I spoke during the opening band.

No, that's.

I forgot I wasn't supposed to do that.

Please, if anyone can, it's you.

Oh, that's yes.

You have the, you get the Doughboys pass.

There's some guests who could not speak during.

The way that you introduced the drop sounded like it was specifically like me related, and then it was what it was.

And I was like, What?

Oh, no, that was not, that was not related to you at all.

I apologize.

Yes, that was that.

We always just do because I forgot that I have to do the drop before I announce you're here.

Yeah, Nagel, for a, a, a regular on the podcast, but it's been a little bit since you've been in, uh, you've been on the podcast, and certainly since you've been in studio, it's not happened since the pandemic.

We're very, very happy that, that you're here.

Unfortunately, as we have relayed to you, and Mitch and I aren't happy about it either, we are on camera now.

Yeah, as such, as it sucks.

It's a bummer.

But as such, you requested a Doughboys hat for the record.

Yes.

You were not wearing the Doughboys hat.

No, you didn't give me one.

Well, I offered you a hat, but you said the color was hideous.

It was ugly.

It was like the color of a pancake.

Yeah.

Yes.

It is the color.

It is our mustard-colored hat, which I do like, but yes,

we also have our five-forks hat if people want to.

That's the one I wanted.

But you're wearing a Philly's hat.

Yes.

We offer that pancake hat to match what a lot of our listeners are eating

while they're wearing it.

So,

yeah, we're we apologize.

The five-fork hat is the one you were after.

That's the one I wanted.

Yeah, we'll get the one that Jamel has.

Yes, yes, and Selman and Selman, Father Tom.

My boss, Jamelman, and Selman.

Yes, I'm wearing Philly's hat, and it is signed by

Dave Raymond.

You don't know who that is.

Well, okay, go on.

Just because I already told you.

Yes.

Okay.

Philly's legend.

Dave Raymond, who's the

original Philly fanatic.

Wow.

And I

just did this, like the coolest thing where I got interviewed as part of a documentary about the Philly fanatic.

Wow.

Oh, my God.

It's a legit documentary with like all the great Phillies.

And Tyler Kent, the guy that was making it, wanted to have like a

comedian's perspective on

like why he's so funny because he's just like the best.

I'm a short.

And so he interviewed me.

I was sitting at at Frank's desk with my coworker, John Frank.

He's got all this like Simpson stuff.

So it looked like my desk.

And it was really not what my office looks like.

Shout out to John Frank.

Love John Frank.

He did love John Frank.

I was like sitting at his desk.

I was like, does it look like I have an Asian wife and three children?

Because I don't.

They set it all up before I sat down.

But

yeah, then I got to like talk about that.

And

then they're like, we're also trying to, because I'm from Philadelphia, people know

it's the only thing about me me that is

uh that exists but they were like oh we're also trying to get tina fey i was like oh yeah poor man's christine angle sure yeah

she says yes uh but it was like the coolest weirdest thing to be asked to do so that was cool that's and i got to meet dave raymond who is the original fanatic wow yeah that rules yeah as a

Sometimes they say never meet your heroes, but in this scenario, it seems like it would, it worked out great.

It did.

I was hoping to meet the actual fanatic, but I think I probably would have passed out.

I met Brady.

I met Tom Brady at,

you know, I mean, it was great.

I caught a pass from him.

This is an, I mean, I've said this on the podcast before.

I caught a pass from him.

Yeah.

But earlier on in the thing.

You don't want a toilet paper.

Brady knows that shit goes in the toilet.

Yeah.

Right.

But I, like, I also had him sign my, like, I was like, will you sign my like belly or something?

And then I remember I lift up my shirt.

I've said, I think I've said this on here too.

What do you want?

No, it's not just saying it's fine.

Yes, you think you have, but yes, you have, it's fine.

And he was like, oh, I can smell it, referring to my belly button.

And I was like,

like, my belly button smelled at the, at the time.

Uh, and uh, I remember just being like, this guy is like around like 300 pound lineman all the time.

And then I am a guy who like, this guy who I look up to the most, I'm the guy who made him be like, oh, I can smell you.

Made me feel feel very, I've made me feel very low on the did he think you were gonna laugh at that or did you like what no, you know, I think, I think, I think his, you know, I think the order of business was to like,

I was being, like, I was supposed to be being annoying, but he liked, I, Wager knows this.

I caught a pass from him, and then I put the ball on the ground, I pretended to have sex with it, and then he loved me from there on.

Was this for a commercial or something?

It was for like a behind-the-scenes partner.

Oh, okay.

You just like ran into him at a restaurant.

Oh, no, no.

Oh, it was a video.

It was a fake video you were were making.

It was a video.

You think that I

just lifted my shirt up?

No.

He sounds like a bad guy.

We don't like him.

Oh, no, I love him.

No, no, you don't.

I caught the ball, and then I humped the ball, and then he was like, which is a very funny comedy thing to do, of course.

Yeah, that's very funny.

And then he was like,

she like loved me after that.

And he signed a jersey for me.

He was very, very nice.

I need to take a break.

Just because of Brady?

I think I was going to step away.

Just because of Tom Brady.

Yeah, I think she maybe a little affected by some of the stuff you were saying.

But you know, hey, speaking of meeting your heroes, you can meet your heroes, the Doughboys, at the Javits Center on Friday, October 10th at 3.45 p.m.

and at Forbidden Planet at 4 p.m.

Eastern on Saturday, October 11th.

So how about that?

And hey, don't kill us.

Don't kill us.

Please don't kill us.

You can kill us.

Wow, Ningle has returned with a change of wardrobe for audio listeners now wearing the birds,

a philadelphia eagles hoodie go birds go birds boo right folks i had to put on eyeliner to be on a podcast i had to put on makeup to be on a podcast and i think that the new way of doing things sucks i look i leave i might as well bring the change of clothes my favorite thing we're gonna have to wear it next year too for gottober

my favorite thing about podcasting for the longest time is that you could just like look like whatever and then now that like it's you're making a fucking tv show what are you supposed to do do?

And you don't have to look like interested in everything that's being said.

That's a whole thing.

Yeah, we noticed that.

We're not.

You guys, I'm like, like, trying to figure out, like,

I don't know.

Pretend like you're engaged.

Yeah,

I totally get that.

Yeah, no, it's unfortunate.

You are wearing the Eagles hoodie as a Philadelphian

thoughts on the Eagles season as the NFL.

Undefeated season.

The NFL season is in

full mast.

Yeah, they're undefeated.

Full swing is what I was trying to say, but I said full mast.

Full swing.

I didn't mean to say full mast.

Flags are all the way to the top.

Yeah, it's just, it's fun to watch.

I don't know.

I have such mixed moral feelings about watching football.

Sure.

This is Wager's thing.

I have some of that too.

Yeah, I get.

But it feels like the guys now have these big fucking helmets.

Like they have

the astro dome on their head.

So so, like, I don't know if that, that does anything, but I don't know.

They're trying, they're trying to make it safer in a way.

I mean, look,

it's a complicated sport in many ways, and people do have long-term effects from it, but

wrestling, your other favorite sport, also has those issues, too.

Yeah, it's hard to ultimately everything's fucking bad.

You just got to choose where you're going to draw your own personal lines.

But yeah, I mean, like, I don't know.

I never like a chair shot to the head in wrestling, and they thankfully have mostly phased that out.

Just bring them back.

And they only allow those in the playoffs in football.

Chair shots.

They're not most likely to happen.

But it's, yeah, it's fun to watch.

And I feel like it's a fun for me as someone who hasn't lived in my hometown since I graduated college.

Like, it's a fun way to connect and kind of have a thing to root for.

And technically, me neither.

I haven't lived in my hometown.

Yeah, like I've lived out of Philly longer than I lived there at this point.

Yeah.

Which is crazy because I'm 27.

Yeah.

but it's like a thing that my family will text each other about.

I just ordered, you know, like sometimes I feel like it's a thing with like the stereotype with like women is like, oh, there's this expensive pair of shoes.

And you just keep looking at it online like every day or a bat, like a handbag or something.

I looked every day for the past like two weeks at a seven foot blow up Philly Fanatic for my front lawn.

And I finally bought it.

Are you going to put that up for Halloween or?

Well, it'll always one, the thing that made me finally buy it was i was like oh i can this is like a thing i could use every year and i could also like use it for pranking um that's also true but uh yeah because it always coincides with halloween and like the yeah the playoffs yeah uh

so so yeah so that hasn't arrived yet but i'm excited wow yeah i got a jaws toy today what did you get i got a do you want to get it No, do you have it with you?

It's in the car.

I picked it.

It was by, it was, yeah, it was near my mailbox.

I mean, if you want to see it,

if you want to bring it, you want, want me to go get get it?

You'll get the draws from your car, but you won't get your vitamins that you.

I got the vitamins, you fucking wise ass.

She's worried about you.

I wanted to yell at you for something before the show started.

I was trying to remember what I wanted to yell at Amelia for.

This is a big part of the pre-show, is Mitch trying to remember what he was mad at Amelia about.

And I couldn't remember it.

And then, and now I find found something to yell at you for.

Oh, you're switching the cameras.

No, it's okay.

Okay.

All right.

Amelia will go and do it.

Go grab it.

It's in the front seat.

It's going to be fun to see the Josh.

It's a little liquid poop.

Yeah.

The only ride home, there was no, the only ride,

I drove home from Warner Brothers, and that was the only, and I was nervous on the, on the ride.

I never, and then, of course, it was, it was food poisoning, which I didn't know at that time.

And then, I'm sorry, buddy.

But on the way home, I was like, ooh, I'm going to take like a side street.

But if you got in an accident.

I would have pulled over.

If I was, if I was feeling close to, and then, like, yes, that's a true nightmare if I got in an accident.

And then the bathroom stuff didn't happen till later.

That's great.

I made it home.

Yeah, I made it.

I made it home.

But it didn't happen till later in the night.

But then it was all night long, like till six in the morning.

Lionel Ritchie.

It was just like,

that's maybe what he was talking about when he sang that song.

I do remember as kids, I swear to God, I remember as kids,

like there was like a joke.

I was like, how long did Lionel Ritchie have diarrhea?

Oh, Oh, right?

I just swear to God, that just came back to me.

All night long.

Yeah, it was like, how long was he on the toilet all night long or something like that?

Wow.

And so, Wags and I just this year have finally come up with the same joke, the children's joke from 1994.

That's fun.

Oh, boy.

I've been like, because, you know, like you, I've been conflicted about the NFL.

I've not really watched the NFL for a while, a better part of a decade.

And

this year, we went, Mitch, you and I went to a LA Chargers game.

Bolt up.

I might be a bolt up.

I might be bolt-pilled.

So I've been watching some of the Chargers and I was like, you know what, this is a fun sport to watch.

Fun team to root for.

Yeah, dude.

So I don't know.

Maybe I'll, maybe I'll fucking get back into it at the NFL.

I don't know.

Something to do.

Yeah.

Got something to distract yourself, right?

You could be a birds guy.

Samoa Joe, also a birds.

Look, I like saying go birds.

It's very fun to say.

That's good.

But I have no connection to Philadelphia outside of like, I guess, knowing you.

Yeah.

So I mean, like, it would feel like a little bit like stolen valor for me to become a there's no valor in Philadelphia.

No, not at all.

Your car won't open.

You got to slide the key out of the thing.

You got to slide this key out like this.

The automatic locks are broken.

It's in that.

Do you see it in the passenger seat?

Okay.

And then you got to push the lock in when you're done, too.

Why didn't you tell her that?

For important content.

She's used my car before.

I didn't know that she couldn't get in.

In situations like this, she's gone to.

Didn't she get something from my house once or something?

Oh, she used her car.

That's what it was.

Yeah.

Whatever.

Amelia's out there.

She didn't drive your car to your house.

Yeah, she did not drive my car to my house.

She did go to your house, I think, to get your vitamins once.

No, hold on a second.

We did not send her to my house to get my vitamins.

She went to pick something up, though.

She went to get something from the house that

we needed for the show.

It was a Jaws toy.

I'm excited for this toy.

Yeah, me too.

I mean, well, I think you guys are going to have 50 years, 50 years since Jaws came out, Wags.

How about that?

Bruce the Shark, 50 years old.

Wow.

There's a little exhibition at the Academy I want to see

before the year is up.

Yeah, the Academy Museum here in Los Angeles, which is a great local cultural institution.

I've never been there.

Nangle, it's such a hoot.

It's really good.

And they've got an awesome theater there, and they get screenings all the time.

The screenings are like five or ten dollars.

It's awesome.

First time I went there, because of Wags, we went and saw the thing.

that's right bong joon ho and uh and john carpenter both spoke i had it presented on the screen there were and you know what there were doughboys fans there there certainly were imagine a john carpenter screening doughboys fan showed up weird somehow there's overlap in the demographics uh i i i saw nagel i last saw you in person during the wga strike which was a a couple of years ago at this point um and uh i i'm

okay nagel's got to step away all right nagel will be right back yeah uh mitch you you and i also like uh you know we we we had the similar sort of, we both endure the same work stoppage in our, you know, that's true.

Yes.

We had the same stretch of 2023 where just everything was just kind of shut down.

Thank God we had Doughboys.

Yes.

Yeah.

The SAG and the SAG and WGA strikes back to back or overlapping at one point.

They were twin strikes and they were overlapping.

Yes.

Yes.

Yeah.

Yep.

They were at roughly the same time.

A very depressing year.

Oh, wow.

Speak of the devil.

Nagel has returned with a WGA strike t-shirt.

Isn't that crazy?

That's really cool.

I really like there's a bowling ball for audio listeners that is knocking out a bunch of pins that have all the studio logos on them.

Yeah, how about that?

Warner Brothers, NBC, Netflix, Disney, and

Apple.

Oh, it's on its side.

And then Amazon.

Boy, the Apple logo is really hard to read on its side.

It is.

Weird trick of the mind.

Yes.

Yep.

All right.

Amelia has returned.

So, yeah, we ran it.

We ran it.

Oh, sorry.

No, no, no, no, no.

I'm just curious because

now you're back.

Yeah.

You know, you're working on The Simpsons.

Like, Like, what has life been like for you as normalcy of some sort has resumed?

Well,

a lot is different in my life since the last time I've been here, but I really think that Mitch is dying to show us this Jaws toy.

He's like, so excited.

No,

it's not what you think.

I thought it was my Jaws toy because it was arriving today, and it's CPAP equipment.

It's a CPAP mask.

Or your Jaw.

Is it a Jaws CPAP?

It's not a Jaws CPA.

It's on Jaws.

There's a hose.

It's all CPAP equipment.

God damn it.

Hey, you need that stuff, Mitch.

You want to try my mask?

I don't.

I mean, am I going to contaminate it?

Yeah, yeah, well, yeah, you shouldn't.

Find that a good idea.

You're going to wear that on your face.

It's fucking CPAP equipment.

God damn it.

That's all right.

You're going to need a bigger CPAP machine.

Hey, hey, from CPAP to CPAC.

That's right.

We're going straight from the Riyadh Comedy Festival to CPAP.

It's going to be a blast.

Ben Shapiro is going to help going to be on panel.

Yeah.

What a joy.

Well, also, we're going to check into the headgum offices in Riyadh as well, which we've talked about.

Yeah, Headgum Riyadh is up in full swing, full mast, if you will.

They're doing good work over there.

It will happen at some point.

It will happen.

What if I got up now and put on a Ben Shapiro t-shirt?

A lot has changed.

Yeah, because the last time I did the show, I was,

I'm pretty sure it was the last time I did the show.

It was cookies.

That sounds right.

This was during the, this was a pandemic or something.

I did one about cookies and then one about dogs.

Yeah.

Dog.

Dog Doe Bark Fest.

Dog Dough Bark.

And it was the

cookie draft.

Cookie draft, yeah.

And I was saying something about like, oh, I'm I

throw up a lot recently or something like that, which you guys knew, but the listeners didn't know is because I was pregnant.

That's right.

That's right.

We kept it from you, you freaks.

You didn't know.

No, but we knew.

And we're all really happy.

It's working out, right?

Yeah, it's right.

It's working out.

Mixed it up in a little cup.

It's a whole thing.

Wags and I together created one sperm.

One very out-of-breath sperm,

lumbering his way.

You can hear it breathing.

Oh my God, just keep going.

Yeah, so that was like, and that was right before the strike.

Yeah.

I had my baby.

And

so then I had like this like five month like

maternity leave, like unpaid maternity leave accidentally.

So that was, that was cool and weird.

So

yeah, so now, but the bigger news, I think the bigger Doughboys related news is that,

and I'm sorry to let people down, but I started eating meat again.

Yes.

And

I think, and it was because when I was pregnant, I

was so nauseous.

I had something called hyperemesis for most of my pregnancy.

And I was like not able to keep like anything down.

I was not able to eat.

And then at one point, I like, so if I ever did get hungry, I was like, I see right now because this is going to pass.

I'm not going to be able to eat anything.

And

I just wanted fried chicken.

Yeah, sure.

I was like, I'm getting it.

I have to get, I have to get, you know, and my, my, my iron was really low.

So I had some fried chicken and I was like, this is the best food that exists.

Like, why would I have ever denied myself this?

But then I like, in my pregnancy, I like had to, like, I ate red meat and things like that.

And

kind of just out of necessity, because I was like, I need to get food when I can.

And it needs to be easy and pack a punch or whatever.

There's a lot of people, like a lot of women when they get pregnant will eat meat again, right?

Like, isn't that, and just for, like, isn't it like sometimes doctors even are like, you have to eat some, some protein like that, right?

Yeah, I think like, if it's something that you are like able to eat, like some people, they go so long at eating meat that they can't, I don't think they can really digest it or whatever.

But it's like, if something you're willing to do, it is, it's just kind of the easiest way to get the protein and the iron and stuff that you need.

There are other ways, but if you're like me and you were like sick as hell and like not a cook, like I just wanted the easiest path to like get through the day.

And that's all like really good excuses that people online can't argue with me about.

But it's been two and a half years and I still love fried chicken.

What was your, do you remember your first bite of fried chicken?

Do you remember where you went?

Yeah, I, uh, there's this place in my neighborhood called Johnny's Pastrami.

Oh, yeah, I know Johnny's Pastrami.

You do?

Yeah, yeah.

yeah oh man it's so good and it's like not expensive so i i ordered some that from there i got like fried chicken and a cheeseburger and i just yeah i just it was just so good yeah i haven't had their fried chicken um but the uh but i will try it now but fried chicken my favorite food i mean it's it's it's yeah i love it so much i i spent a year

i was just gonna say on the west side and near where you guys

were where the simpsons the homer's home there is a honey's kettle yeah there's honey's kettle great fried chicken, and there's also Dinah's.

There's some good options.

I'm sorry, Wax.

No, what I was just going to say is, like,

when I, you know, I did eat, I did just a year, but I did a year that was chronicled out of the podcast of no meat, chill I eat.

I was ate vegetarian, um, and including, I wasn't pescatarian either.

I just, I ate no, no animal proteins.

Um, for a full year, for a full year.

Whoa.

And I will, like, I didn't really miss, like, as I am the burger boy, but I didn't really miss burgers.

I didn't really miss steak, you know, I, I didn't miss bacon or any of that, but I did miss fried chicken and I did, I did miss just like a piece of fish.

Yeah.

And so like, and it's, it, I, I, I do, I can't relate specifically, of course, but I do understand that I, that feeling of a craving and, um, and how satisfying it is to ultimately like scratch that is.

Yeah.

And I felt that same way about kibasi too, kilbasa.

Wow.

Kiwasi, where it's just like, yeah, I needed this.

And then I've been like lifting a lot.

Oh, hell.

You need protein.

So

and I'm also a woman of a certain age and you need, it's, yeah, there's so much protein that you need.

So So,

is that a show?

Women of a certain

of a certain age, men of a certain age.

That's yeah, they won't even let women of course of a certain age be on TV.

It has to make it men.

That's supposed to be.

That was, I believe, that's some patriarchy shit.

I believe the cast that was Ray Romano, um,

Andre Brauer, Rest in Peace, and uh, and Scott Bacula, right?

That was the third one.

I heard that was a good show.

I never watched it.

Yeah, I heard that.

Dracula, not Dracula.

Dracula, not Dracula.

Sorry.

I thought you said Scott Dracula.

That would be Dracula's of a certain age.

And it's like 8,000 is their age.

Oh, that's fun.

I'm really, I like, I, I've gotten into lifting.

I really, I like, I, I, I feel like it's a thing where you feel like you're making tangible progress.

It's fun to be stronger.

Like just functionally, I like that like it's easy for me to, you know, like lift things or whatever.

And like, I don't know.

I just, that, that's like, that's my favorite kind of working out.

I do cardio as well, but I do really like going to the gym and

it's, it's like, for me, it's like a healthier way to, to think about fitness.

Yeah.

Like, just, it's like, I want to be strong.

I want to be able to lift my kid.

I want to be able to play with my kid.

I want to be able to, like, not like be completely taken out for a day because I did something stupid.

You know, like, I can't afford to not be able to do, to be moving around and stuff.

No, 100%.

I got to be able to lift Mitch, you know,

pick Mitch up.

You rock Mitch to bed.

Yeah.

Change Mitch.

Which

Wager puts me to bed every night.

When he's done with the podcast, he comes over to my place and puts me to bed.

Fastens on your CPAP mask.

mask usual kiss on your wait is that a new cpap or this is a new cpap mask

you have the machine i have this machine i've been using it for a year i i but i haven't been lifting i need to get my gains going i mostly lift up barrels and throw them at guys whose girlfriends i've stolen

that's something that's not nothing that's not nothing man yeah you also lift up the the girlfriend yeah and then climb ladders and then climb ladders i climb up a scaffold a lot

throw barrels at italian which is which is fun.

To throw a barrel at an Italian is very fun.

He just jumps right over it.

It's the last group you're allowed to throw things at.

Yes.

Italians are the last group you can throw things at.

Until they take, they woke takes it away from us.

As a, you know, you're, you're, so you're back in a, you're back in a writer's room.

Do you have, like,

I'm always curious, and we've talked about The Simpsons specifically with our good buddy Matt Selman, but like, like, what are, what are you snacking on?

I was the lunch king over there.

I know you were, Mitch.

I've been talking about this forever.

We'll make this about you.

I have to.

I need to.

All right.

You're the snack king.

I, I mean, I got a lot of, I wonder how things have changed over there, but I was the lunch because at one point, when did you start going in there into the offices?

Because there was a long stretch where you weren't because one, COVID, two, and you started right around when I started a couple months before COVID, yeah.

Yeah, so you were in there for a very short period.

I was in there for pressure time, and there was always donuts every single day.

Oh, every single day.

Every single day there was donuts, which which to me felt like,

it felt like a punishment for the writers.

Like it felt like, don't you care about us?

Like, that's, why are you making us eat donuts?

Because, because you can't help it.

Donuts are like.

Delicious.

And you, you know, you take a break during the, like you walk in and then there's still donuts, but they're also like good, expensive donuts.

And yeah, like I took them home and like, like, I gained a bunch of weight when I moved there, when I started working there.

Oh, there it is like the Simpsons 15.

Yeah.

Even more than that.

When people start working there,

you're not used to the food that you're given every day.

Exactly.

That specifically is a tricky situation because that's on Homer's Ryder.

And he's just been there forever.

Yeah.

So, you know, it's just, they got to have it for him.

It's true.

He's a little GOP one, and so he doesn't barely eat them.

Yeah, exactly.

Part of one.

But he still wants them there.

Exactly.

And it's just, you know, what are you going to do?

He looks really good.

He looks great.

But that changed after we came back into the office.

We came back.

And then, yeah, we were out of the office until after the strike.

So we were out of the office for years, and that changed.

And now it's like donuts like once a month or something.

Okay.

We, so I used to, the, it would be donuts on Fridays when I was there.

It would be, look, this is interesting to us.

So we maybe,

I don't think I'm misremembering.

I'm pretty sure it was every day.

I would get bagels every single day.

I would get bagels every single morning.

And then if you were on the morning duty, I would get bagels every single morning.

Just for coffee.

For people, you were a writer's PA for The Simpsons, yes.

I would get bagels every every single morning, then I would get like maybe some pastries too, possibly.

And then, and then, and I would just get that from the Fox commissary, and then donuts on Fridays, and then the last Friday of every month, if you were if you were the morning person on the last Friday, you would also, you would get McDonald's on the last Friday of every month.

Yeah,

which was fun, and then I would get shamrock shakes if it was

if it was like a, you know, like if the shamrock shakes were in season, I would get them shamrock shakes.

Yes, yeah, I mean, that's the only time to get them.

Um,

and then like like uh i would do you you went to you would cover the the table reads and records so we which do they still do them are they still they uh the table reads we we try to have a like a snack or what however we get a catered we try to have it have something to do with that episode that we're reading oh that's fine which i think is kind of a new thing like a couple uh months ago i wrote an episode where the simpsons go to philadelphia and so we had a bunch of tasty cakes which is a local kind of snack and um

some candy.

And did we have soft pretzels?

I can't remember.

But then also there was like the normal stuff, like deviled eggs and a couple of other things.

Sure.

There was people there that didn't know.

And I was like, oh, these are, have some like these, they're Philadelphia delicacy.

And I like walked away and I heard her say it to the guy with her.

Deviled eggs are a Philadelphia delicacy.

And I like went back and was like, no, these tasty cakes are, I don't know where deviled eggs come from.

Like, I just was like, oh my God.

Like, why am I, I don't even know this person.

why am i invested um and then like there was and i don't know so things like that so like it has something to do with whatever um but then just other stacks and stuff like that where were you guys hitting for lunch recently what's the lunch spots

yeah of course yeah

i don't want to talk about it nails got to step away

i i think i've told you this before but my favorite thing when i worked there is nancy cartwright would come in for the table reads yeah and voice of voice of bart simpson the voice of bart simpson And she, and she, for a couple of times, she'd be like, hey, I'm Bart Simpson.

I was like, oh, I work here.

I'm Mike.

And then she'd start being like, Big Mike.

But someone that she never recognized was Joe Saunders.

And she'd be like, hey, I'm Bart Simpson.

It would sign Joe's script.

And Joe would just sit there and nod.

Who worked for the show?

Who worked for the show?

I had like the same job as you.

Yes, yes.

It was very, very funny.

And I always laughed at Joe.

It's a good bit.

Yeah, it was great.

But, well, you know what?

I did it.

It's so funny when you do something for so long that you just remember.

I still remember every detail about that.

It's, it's crazy.

Like, I'm like, I don't remember anything else.

Things hurt you, hit you at a certain point in your life, and they're kind of like, you know, formative or whatever the fuck.

And so

the specifics of it stick with you.

Wow.

Angel wearing a shirt now that says vaccines cause adults.

I needed to make a statement.

Well, we can't go to see PAC now.

There's a lot of vaccine state.

Since you've been gone, there's been a lot of vaccine talk on the podcast.

It's mostly vax.

Yeah, it's been mostly vax talk.

We review vaccines.

No, I can't remember.

I like I, there's a lot there's, there's huge swaths of doughboys that are like, I have trouble, like, like are just

fuzzy memories.

I think just because it's, it's been so constant and it's been going for so long, but also because like I'm fucking old.

Whereas like stuff that happened when I was younger, like, you know, like I remember a lot more specifically shit that yeah,

somehow I remember was like just like me doing work.

Yeah, like a like, you know, like a busy, which I love, I enjoyed my time at the Simpsons.

And maybe the stakes were different.

Like, you had to be detail-oriented, and the stakes were a little different.

So you have to, so you remember the details.

Yeah, that's true.

Yeah, I don't have to do anything in this show.

I just

asked the deus to help me out.

Nangel was asking us at lunch.

She said, what is what are the gator?

Because we told her that there's

like, I was like, I don't listen to this show.

What are some of the bits that I need to know?

Well, Mali,

there's some feisty gators

a few times.

We got a lot of Gator stuff now.

Like I had to do do with school, we rolled them gators down into bayou.

And, you know, as it because it's crocodile burn fast, we might run into some crocodiles.

Oh, your wears a little.

Oh, yeah, crocodiles.

We didn't even get that part right.

It's

no, we still talk about gators, but there will be crocodiles.

Croc stuff is coming.

The croc shoe.

Yeah.

Also, the gator.

The bottom line is the gator tricks us and we end up sucking the gator off.

Yeah, that's basically what happens.

And then we had a thing because we did, we were up in Toronto last year for Toronto Doe.

And we, as part of that, we talked about damn snow gators.

And they also like this bit.

Yeah.

They also trick us and we also suck.

We also suck.

Doesn't sound like they're tricking you.

Well, we get our trick.

We're tricked.

We don't want to be doing that.

We don't.

Do you know right now that it's going to happen?

Well, I don't want to do it.

We never meant to do it.

All right.

Just okay, starting now, you know.

Yeah, but they're tricking us.

The tricking.

I don't know.

Oh, and I got Texas Gator back.

Wait a minute.

You know it's a Gator?

He said he's not going to trick me.

So

do you have, like, but yes,

we just asked you what are the lunch spots?

And I do think people are interested in this.

Yeah, I'm not.

Okay, well,

has Jersey Mics entered the rotation?

Do you know that the first time they ever got Jersey Mike's and Simpsons?

I delivered it.

How about that?

Wow.

I know.

It's pretty, I know.

Write it down in history.

Monopoly, Simpsons, whatever.

No, I always forget that we have to talk about the food part on the show.

I forget about that.

You don't have to.

You don't have to.

What's your favorite spot?

Do you still do some Earth Cafe?

What's going on there?

No, we haven't done Earth Cafe since I've been there.

Clementine, still.

Clementine, yeah.

Clementine.

One thing that I don't like is dill.

I don't like dill.

I don't like dill.

I hate, I hate dill and fennel.

Wow.

And they use that in a lot of things.

A clementine.

Yeah.

Or like, like I've gotten a few things there and then I've been like, oh, I can eat this.

Can I come in and talk to the Reikers PA and just give a little inspiring speech?

Can you?

Yeah, may I, I guess?

It's not up to me.

I want to come in and just let them know how things went when I ran this show.

Everybody would be so happy to see you.

I know.

I do need to come in and say hello.

Yeah, I feel like with the thing about

with PAs is like,

I always say that before they walk in the office, because in the afternoon, they'll take our coffee order.

Like just that sigh that you must have before you walk in the room because you know it's just going to be bits, bits, bits, bits, bits because

we're so excited for a distraction.

So like there's just bits constantly like at the PAs, these poor PAs who have to just laugh and be like, yeah, yeah, okay.

I went in there.

I put on a show, baby.

I believe it.

I believe it.

2.30, is it they come in for the coffee?

Yeah, too late, I say.

I don't get any.

It's a little bit.

That is a little late for a caffeine booster.

You know what?

I would, if I was a writer's PA, I would love that you didn't get anything because I used to love when writers were like, no, I'm good.

It would make me so happy when people didn't get anything because it just meant I could go home.

Yeah, yeah.

And then there'd always be one guy who needed something, and you had to fucking go and get the one coffee or whatever.

I was fortunate to never be in a job where I had to retrieve a bunch of food for people.

But to me, it seems like an order of magnitude more stressful.

And

Amelia, you can speak to this, to bring beverages.

Once drinks enter the picture, that's a whole thing.

Now you got to worry about spilling.

You would be so bad.

You'd

Yes.

Your car would be just like filled up to the windows.

Hibiscus tea.

Why are you just going to snorkel?

Yeah,

that seems really stressful.

Take it bringing a bunch of coffees back or something like that.

It was a hard job.

People don't even get it.

People listening don't have no idea.

No, I honestly, I do think those jobs are harder than like my job.

I like, I do think like, like, if your job is to go retrieve shit,

people have those sort of

service workers are heroes.

And I mean, yeah, I'm going to go out here and say, certainly it qualifies as that.

You've had the easiest life of anyone.

I know.

You're a big baby.

Yeah, I think that's true.

Why am I a baby?

Of course, my rattle.

No, my life is fucking.

I agree.

100%.

My life's been on tutorial difficulty.

I don't know.

I get no challenges.

So far.

Inno struggle.

Step it up.

Do you have?

So, like, I was a waitress for a couple of years and a food delivery person.

Oh, man.

And I still have, like, I have stress dreams about that and stress dreams about working in live TV.

live tv yeah live tv is stressful that's that's crazy which i've done a bunch of but do you have stress dreams about being a simpsons pa

i have had a couple dreams about it but nothing nothing too too bad i always get stress dreams more about like college homework which i which i never which i is a funny dream to have again like uh and i didn't even really stress that much about it then so it's i think it's it's like me trying to figure out something to stress about but live tv and i you i i know that you worked at live in live TV, and also I think you worked on a job that is a very I think causes a lot of people stress streams as well.

Yeah, Saturday Night Live, yes, yeah, yeah, which I think a lot of people walk away from that and have stress-related dreams for high pressure job, yeah, yeah.

But I, I never, I never did a live TV thing like that where I, I mean, like live shows, but I've never really had a, any,

I think we're so used to bombing that I don't think it bothers me.

Well, I work on Comedy Central's at Midnight, that show was live to tape, but we did do live episodes on occasion, and the live episodes were in, you know, an order of magnitude more stressful, just having to be conscious of all the stuff that could potentially go wrong, even though I was not someone who was actually on camera.

You're still like, you know, involved in the prep and that.

There's, there's a lot of stuff that needs to be set up.

But, but as far as stress dreams go, I don't have stress dreams about anything like that.

I have stress dreams about doing an orchestra concert and not knowing the music.

And then I have a lot of dreams of me just like around a bunch of toilets.

Like it's just like walking into like a restroom and it's like there's like there's like 20 toilets and the stall doors are are broken.

The toilets are all clogged, like none of them are usable.

That's what you're gonna jack off into.

Which one is a gator in?

You look down for gator feet, like

so, just a bunch of like disgusting toilets that I'm looking at, and there's no place for you, me to go to the bathroom.

Like, this is fucking horrible.

So, I have a lot of those.

Those are sources of stress.

You're not jacking off this year, right?

Like, how you didn't eat meat for a full year?

Yeah, I'm, it's, it's a

no, no meat till I beat.

This year, no meat shout out.

Wow, you've done, we're almost done with the year.

You've done really good.

We're on the back end of it.

Yeah, I'm doing great.

Man,

yeah,

what about other people's?

You know, you can do that.

I can do other, I can do other people.

Yeah, just not myself.

It's part of the problem.

When he puts me to bed, it's part of the process.

That's horrible.

These are cute.

Yeah, we're having fun.

I, look,

I do think, well, it's funny when you have one of those jobs, the like a food, like I was always nervous about getting something wrong.

Yeah.

And it is, it's, it's also interesting to just see the, and I never worked, the closest I got to food service was probably The Simpsons or working at AMC, but it was always interesting to see just the inner workings of like when I went to Tendergreens, just to say to bring up out of nowhere, to see like the inner workings of like a restaurant during the lunch hour and how it all worked.

And they were getting hundreds of orders like

you know, like multiple orders like that.

And I was like, damn, this is fucking hard, like hard fucking work.

And it's hard because, like, when I worked at the restaurant for a little while, I was the lunchtime food delivery.

What restaurant did you work at?

It's called Max and Irma's.

It's a

one of Mitch's cats is named Irma.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

It's because I lived in Pittsburgh for five years and after college.

And

it like I worked, it was like in an industrial park, like a business park.

And then I became the delivery person at lunchtime.

So my job was, it was all within this like business park.

And I would have to like get the lunch orders and put them in my car and drive, whatever.

But you're sub like, you're so powerless at so many levels because it's like, you got to wait for the cooks and make sure, like, they have everything.

And then the, um, the, the, what is it called?

The prep people who are like putting all the sauces on and stuff like, and you're just like standing there and you have no control over, like, it's an hour late, but you can't.

But then when you get same with waitressing, like, when you get to the tables, you're the face of it, you know, whatever.

So, like, I would like drive up to deliver it, and people would be like, you know, you're so late.

And I would be like, I'm so like, you know, I have no, you like, end up working with those people.

I would be like, writing, I would be writing the names on them and stuff like that.

Yeah, I would be, I would, because just to expedite the process, because, like, it is that sort of thing of like, they have so many hands, and you have to like help do it.

Exactly.

I did a lot of that.

But it's, yeah, there's just so much of like things that could go wrong that aren't your fault, but then you have to take responsibility for it.

Yeah, but I, yeah, I just the dreams are like I go back to the restaurant and I don't like they've moved to tables and I don't know which table is which number, or I go back to SNL and then they've moved like all the offices, like it's just like kind of silly things, you know, that I the mango's costume is in the different room, right?

I wasn't there that long ago.

Do you have Emma Amelia?

Do you ever have stress dreams about work?

Um,

I have for this job, hopefully, not for this, hopefully not for this job.

Yeah, they have stress dreams about you around a bunch of toilet.

I have had like bathroom stress dreams where like I go to a like I'm in my dream.

I'm like, and this maybe is from road tripping.

I like go into like a gas station or something and the bathroom is like disgusting.

And I don't want to touch it.

That's similar to what I've done.

Nothing is working and I like can't go to the bathroom.

I feel like that's real life for me a lot.

I have stress dreams about,

I had one work-related stress dream.

I used to work at a

movie theater, the one that I saw Bill Clinton at.

yeah, yeah.

And I had a dream.

What movie was he seeing?

I think

all deep throat.

I think it was the

Charlene Thero.

What's her name?

Charlie Theron.

Charlie Sterin movie.

That's very funny.

Bad Max Fury Road.

No, it's the poster had a woman with a bunch of stickers on her face.

Oh, okay.

Dude, well, what the fuck is that?

Oh, I know what that was it, like Tustin or if it's like some weird

not young adult, is it?

Tully?

Tully.

Tully.

Tully.

Tully.

Holly.

I think he still has Tully.

Anyway, I had a dream that I worked like a whole.

I thought it was going to be Tilly.

Want to see Jennifer Tilly.

I worked a full like eight-hour shift.

It was so mundane in the dream.

And then I woke up and I was pissed because I was like, I didn't get paid for that shit.

But I mostly have dreams about like not being able to open my mouth or my teeth long out.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Chipping, rotting.

Yeah.

I did when I bartended have dreams where I like went into work and just like worked a full shift and then I would wake up and I'd be like, well, what the fuck?

Now I actually have to go do that

in my sleep.

Yeah.

That's stressful.

I have an alt real quick.

He went and saw Telly.

He's like, I was waiting for him to land the plane in the Hudson.

Thought it was so late.

Yeah.

You know, I don't really have dreams.

Not, I used to not have them, but now, thanks to this bad boy, Wags, which is taking out a CPAP.

My CPAP mask, I do have dreams.

Should I put it on?

Yeah, if you want.

I was waiting for her to kiss Mulder.

Sully from the X-Foles.

We love, we love Bill.

What was it?

Was he like, did you interact with him at all?

No, he had Secret Service around him.

Oh, wow.

Did you interact with them at all?

No.

Did you talk to Epstein at all?

Was the place cased by Secret Service in advance?

Like, was there any prep or scout that's a great question i'm sure it was yeah but i was i was freaking out i was like bill clinton's here bill clinton's here and they were like amelia you have to go upstairs and you cannot did he request a popcorn bucket with a hole in the bottom

i met him once well when i was in college uh because i was uh

uh got the particular scholarship that i got to college they like It was called the mayor scholarship and they invited all of the mayor scholars that were there to go to this event that the mayor of Philadelphia was doing with Bill Clinton.

And then he went out as a way to introduce us to him and stuff.

It was, it was nice.

You said hi to him?

Yeah, he shook our hand, my hand, and stuff.

Yeah, we have a picture somewhere.

Wow.

Bill Clinton came to when I was in high school, my

school district, Long Beach Unified School District, Mrs.

Mitch is putting the CPAP mask on.

Oh, I'm going to get changed too.

And Bill, Bill came, Bill was like, came to our high school, and our band, our school band played Hail to the Chief for him.

Wow.

Yeah.

But the whole thing was that the Long Beach Unified School District had instituted district-wide uniforms and had seen, like, it was one of those bullshit, those things like in the 90s, we like didn't have any real problems.

So they were like, oh, school uniforms.

This is the kind of thing a president should get behind, you know.

It's a great story, Willa.

This is confirming that the CPAP episode will not work.

You can hear me, can't you?

Barely.

It's not particularly audible or cool.

I do talk to Wally and Irma like Bane when I put it on.

That's cute.

Wally Irma.

That's what I do when I go to bed.

They sent me the wrong size fucking mask.

Yeah, that's not really fitting your face there.

See, it is too small.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'll be calling.

You look like a cute little elephant.

It is very, it is.

I mean, I don't know how.

Thank you for saying that I look like a cute little elephant because I don't know how.

I said cute and little before.

I appreciate it.

No, no, I'm saying that is truly a compliment.

I, I, I, because I, you know, I'm very self-conscious about uh wearing a CPAP mask.

If I would have someone to sleep over, for instance, it's uh, you know, okay, all right,

it has not happened in a very long time.

No meat shall I beat this year, eitherwise.

There's nothing happening.

Nangel is a change shirt to get a new shirt on, and it says, abortion bands can fuck off into the sun.

I love it.

I like that a lot.

And And there's this amazing writer called Jessica Valenti who has a, um, who has a daily newsletter called Abortion Every Day.

And she writes about like all the stories of the horrible shit that's happening that are quote unquote unintended consequences in a lot of ways of the abortion bans and stuff like that.

And how it's all by design and blah, blah, blah.

She just really breaks it down in an amazing way.

So I bought this to support her.

But it says abortion bans and then it has this really fun picture of like a sun, like

walking on the street.

And then under the sun says can fuck off into the sun so it just looks like i have a shirt on that says abortion bands yeah

especially or if i have a hoodie on something that covers a bottom or if i'm just sitting at a table it just is a shirt that says abortion bands and then like a happy thing so i wish the design was different so i don't wear it around

i don't wear it out maybe it works out in your favor and every time someone who's pro abortion is looking at it when the bottom part is covered and everyone who's anti-abortion is looking at it when it's uh the full shirt so maybe it works out in that way yeah they well the the shirt that i just had on um vaccines cause adults i think that's such a clever i got it from i don't remember where i saw that slogan before but um

it

it's like a minis

i don't know mississippi maybe public health fund thing um but I was really like, you know, once people have hats that are like, make America gay again or whatever, like they, they're supposed to look like the MAGA hat.

Yeah.

A little tricky.

But then it's like, ooh, we're being cheeky.

Like,

I don't like that because it's,

I feel like, I, was it the dope boys?

I did a live show somewhere and somebody in like the front row had one on.

And I was so uncomfortable the whole time.

And then it wasn't only, I'm pretty sure that was just a MAGA hat.

No, no, I like left and it was like, make California green again.

It was something like that.

Like, and but I was like, why would you put people through thinking, you know, sure, sure.

So I had that on.

I've worn that shirt like maybe twice.

And I've been really aware of like

are people feeling like a little unsafe at first if they think it's going to be sure.

Yes.

Right.

Well, like I was saying, that thing of, yeah, you don't want to, I guess I was apparently saying you don't want to hurt pro-abortion people's feelings, which yes, you do, of course.

Like,

yeah.

But I get it.

But you also don't want them to shoot you.

Oh, well, that's also a good point.

You mean anti-abortion.

So fuck.

Oh, my God.

I am pro- Oh, God.

Never mind.

I'm not going to say shit anymore.

You know where I stand, fools.

Yeah, you just don't fuck.

I just don't fuck.

Celibacy.

That is the way to go.

We're here in soup month.

Outside of soup, do you have any favorite wet foods?

Like,

I'm thinking pasta.

I'm thinking like, you know, like a stew.

I'm thinking like a braised like

dish or something.

Most, I'm going to be honest with you, the most food, I think most food is wet.

Most food is wet to some degree.

Some food is more wet.

Yes, there's moisture in every most food.

Yeah, otherwise it's too dry.

That's true.

Do you have a favorite dry food?

Cracker probably is up there.

Cracker's up there.

Cereal.

Yeah, but then that gets wet.

It's funny.

The most dry food kind of does get a little, the cracker you put in a soup a lot of the time, or you eat it with some cheese.

Cheese got a little moisture.

A cracker can just be a dry guy.

It doesn't necessitate.

No matter what, it's going in here.

That's true.

I'm pointing them at my mouth right oh yeah normally wet um

it

don't be weird guys i get i i i've had some medication recently that gives me a dry mouth i hate having a dry mouth what a horrible sensation yeah and people can hear my dad has it i like i can hear it when i'm like with him i can hear it kind of yeah um i want to be salivating i get the i get the dog foam on the quote oh sure yeah you all you always will say you got a little something there it will be it will be the the rabies kind of foam forming on i that Always happens to me, which I think is just a sign of being dehydrated.

Yeah, probably.

Yeah, but I never like it.

Yeah, I think that, like, I think, I don't know if,

what's that thing called where you can't hear, you don't like hearing chewing?

Mesophonia.

Mesophonia.

You make fun of it a lot on the show.

Yeah.

I think it's a real thing, but like, just with my dad.

Okay.

Like, I can't.

I love him.

He's a great guy.

I cannot be in the same room with him when he's eating.

Like, I feel like when he's in Pennsylvania and I'm here, I know when he's eating cereal.

Like, it just, it's like, it's so enraged, like,

like, enraging.

Yeah.

You reminded me of the one thing I don't like.

And I just got, I didn't like thinking about it when someone

half.

Yeah.

I'd want to see that.

I'd want to see this bottom half covered up.

When someone bites their fork.

Yeah, I don't like the fork.

Cut it out.

What are you doing?

You missed the food.

You went right to the fork.

You do one of these like a little chevy.

Yeah, that's what I do, too.

And my mom and dad would, my dad especially would bite his fork sometimes.

And my sister and I would bite, ugh.

Like we were going to eat it.

Yeah.

You want a fork that you know, he wants to make sure the fork is still there.

I guess so.

Yeah.

He was, you know, he was born in the 40s.

It was a different time.

Yeah, because people will steal your fork right out of your business.

100%.

You got to hold on to it at all clowns.

You can count down on that son, bitch.

Do you ever take a spoon and turn it completely upside down in your mouth?

I like to do that.

No, I don't do that.

You got to clean it off?

Yeah.

Oh, sure, to clean it off.

Or sometimes you got like food on it.

Yeah, sometimes you got like ice cream.

It's just like, oh,

all your taste buds are on your tongue.

So it makes sense to flip it and put the food onto your tongue instead of the spoon.

I'm not doing like a.

I don't know where my taste buds are.

That's true.

All right, settle down, you two.

I'm not doing like, I'm not doing like goofy style.

What's the skateboarding?

I'm not, I'm not pulling like an Ollie or whatever.

Doing it backwards, right?

Yeah, I'm like, I'm not

I'm not going like full, I'm not doing tricks with the spoon into my not doing an invert.

No, no, I'm not doing that almost, almost ever.

I mean, like, if that spoon needs some cleaning, I'll clean it off.

I was just remembering this kid from high school, Gary, who his whole gimmick was carrying a spoon around.

And I was like, you're the spoon man, but I get Gary was kind of the spoon kid.

And he's like, I can have a spoon.

He's like, oh,

wait, really?

He's this fucking spoon guy.

We've done this show for 10 years, and I'm just hearing about Gary.

I care forgot about this guy with a spoon.

He brought a spooner?

He had a funny guy.

He had a fucking spoon.

It's this whole thing.

I'm a funny guy, and i have this i know i'm just saying like it's i'm remembering i'm remembering this guy this kid from my creative writing class

who knows what he's up to now one thing when you're saying about like turning the spoon around and uh eating the ice cream the other way yeah i always think about the scene in jurassic park where it's just uh dr sadler and the bridge guy yeah and everybody else is like not there and they're eating the food and he's like spare no you guys know oh yes yes he's like spare no so he's like eating the ice cream because it's melting and so she starts to eat it too and like i it just looks so good it does

it looks so good and creamy yeah the food she eats it like that the food looks very good even even when they get the jell-o later and then the raptor comes yeah food in movies is always fun you don't see it enough anymore

no one's eating in movies anymore no one's eating enough in movies and no one's eating no one's focusing

too great pleasure

to be sitting next to my dad when someone's eating on in a movie

although i feel like i might have talked about this on this show before, but a scene, a thing that I hate is like scenes in movies or TV where someone hasn't eaten in a long time.

Yeah.

And then they see food and they're like,

and then they like,

like, you know, stick it all in their mouth.

It's usually like chomp it on bread or whatever.

I don't like that.

It's sort of ravenous consumption.

Yeah.

It also

feels like the actor's having too much fun.

Yes, right.

I like anytime I get to eat food in a scene.

I think it's a good thing.

I mean, like, oh, you do?

You feast of shit.

I mean, like, you can get, you know, there's spit buckets and you'll spit off the food, but I do, I like chomping a lot and just going and going wild.

Do you think you could auction off your spit bucket to dope with someone?

Yes.

Unfortunately, a thousand percent probably could auction off, right?

I mean, we can ask them right now.

Could I hashtag what likes?

I'll eat the spit.

Yeah.

Sure.

They could have a spit roasted.

Plant something in it or, you know.

They would, someone would

eat it.

Someone would get the spit bucket.

Maybe it would be a low, maybe it would be a low bid, but they would, someone would get it.

I mean, we, we auctioned off, you know, our socks eat our socks on the George Lucas talk show, and that went for four figures.

So that's right.

Yeah.

Yeah, people want to jack off.

Yeah, no, people do.

They love it.

They love it.

To us.

Yeah.

Which is.

You gave them something to think about.

That guy receiving the socks, just like, oh, my God.

I can't believe this.

I was getting excited.

Were they your jerk-off socks?

No, they were just socks.

They were not jerk-off socks.

There were socks on them.

They were socks that we were wearing at that moment.

We were wearing, we took, we each took up one off and we put them in an envelope and I guess shipped them off.

I like to think of the guy who got

like opening the package and just like nailing the socks to the wall

in his Texas chainsaw house.

Where'd the money go?

I think it went to the Riyadh comedy festival

you could do briad and it's you're eating soft cheeses

soft cheeses

uh oh okay i i want to ask you about because this is this for me was a thing when i was eating vegetarian soup was a struggle because so many soups are have some sort of uh you know like

are based with chicken or pork or something like that.

Like it's hard to find, it was hard for me to find a purely vegetable vegetarian soup, especially at a restaurant.

I'll putting my mask back.

Sorry.

I'm curious, when you started eating meat again, were there any like soups that you were excited to get back into having?

And or were there any vegetarian soups that you found as go-to's?

Hold on.

Mitches dashes.

I love a good beef stew.

Yeah.

I love, love, love it.

I don't know if that counts as soup.

I think so.

But,

all right, maybe it doesn't.

But I mean, didn't we go over this already?

It does.

What is it?

Stew is a soup, right?

Did we Google this?

It's a minimum soup adjacent.

I think we can have our own categories.

We said chili was not soup.

Yeah, stew is okay.

But I think stew qualifies for this question.

But yeah, that or yeah, just like a warm, like, and any kind of, I still feel this, well, we'll talk about this when we

rate the food, but like warm, kind of tomato-y stuff is so comforting.

Right.

That was a change for me that I became a tomato soup person, did not like it as a boy at all.

And then eventually became, was I putting my address out to the whole world to see no i i'm made sure

amelia

won't yell at you about that later lentil soup is really good too lentil soup is very good for you tomato soup though was a change for as a kid i did not like it at all i liked like vegetable like it maybe close to a tomato base but a straight up tomato soup did not like it now i think it is my favorite of the soups yeah clam chowder of course oh my friend uh so i moved during the pandemic i bought a house and i live and kind of towards south la in just like a normal neighborhood around normal people.

Yeah, it's great.

I mean, I never do anything because I have a kid and I'm a solo mom by choice.

It's the best.

It is the best.

But

I got so lucky with my neighbors on either side because they're just like such, it's like,

it's just so great.

It's just like anything, just like, can I borrow this?

Or, oh, yeah, go in my house and get this.

Or like, just like, it's just great.

Will they watch your child ever?

Do you?

Yeah, like sometimes like, like I had a handyman coming and my neighbor came over and sat with the toddler just for a little bit so I could have a conversation with him

and just scream at him and say, that picture is crooked.

No.

But they are this awesome young couple, Olivia and Tyler, and they have like themed parties and they have this, it's been going on for years now, a soup.

competition.

Wow.

I can't believe I'm just thinking of this now, but it is so organized.

And I've only ever like, I go over, I've gone over this.

It's cool to say, not Stephen Tyler, right?

No.

Okay, good.

No.

Okay, great.

Go on.

It's not Olivia Wilde.

No.

All right, good.

Okay, good.

It's not Olivia Wilde.

It's not Stephen Tyler.

But let me just say, you're not that far off.

Okay, all right.

But they're much.

They, like, there's like strict rules and people like there's, there's a theme, overall theme every year, and then people have to be in that theme.

And then they have like dessert soup category and a couple other things, and you have to, they have like these little tiny cups that like just line like a, like, they have like 40 that come out.

And there's like the person has to present it and explain why they chose this, why they named it this.

Like, some people do bits and they're not even really, they're not comedians, most of them.

Um, they're just like normal people, which is yeah, sure.

And um, then everybody votes, and everybody takes it like really seriously.

Uh, It is really, it's really cool.

What have you, what was a soup?

Did you submit a soup?

No, God, no.

I would never.

No.

What were you judged?

Well, I was over there for like five or six soups with my like baby monitor in my back pocket.

But

there was like sweet soups and stuff.

I don't know.

I don't really,

you guys should know by now.

I don't remember things that I eat.

Like I can't talk about them.

But just kind of

stuff that you wouldn't really expect to meet in a soup, but made it work.

That's always fun.

Like, if you, like, if you try like a buffalo chicken soup, my, my godparents at Easter, my, my godmother, uh, Kathy Kylie, will make like a wish, she would always have a new soup every Easter for so long.

Yeah, and uh, like, I always like to try a new, uh, a new soup.

A lot of the time does not work, but like a buffalo chicken soup or something like that can be fun to try, wages, you know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah, new soup, a noop, a noop, why not?

Yeah, why not?

I like it.

The noops noops just dropped.

Noob.

Don't drop.

It shouldn't be dropped.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The new noops just got poured.

How about?

I guess I don't need to say new noops.

That's that's redundant.

Yeah, it is redundant.

And also, you know, I don't know how much noops will catch.

That's not going to catch on.

We're talking croc dough burn faest le pin quotidienne reviewed once previously in 2019 the entire chain with Johnny Pemberton we

four from Johnny 3.75 and 3.54 so just outside of the Golden Plate Club the name translates to the daily bread it was founded in Brussels in 1990 so this is not a fake American simulacrum of a

of a European sort of a pastiche this is an act this is the real thing that came to the US in 1997 has 250 locations

I just both rolled our eyes at the pastiche.

We are only reviewing the soups.

I was also rolling it at Simlacrum.

Oh, Simulacrum.

Yeah.

It's a good word.

He uses that a lot now, too.

It's a quality word.

Yeah.

I'm not exiting.

I didn't order the simulacrum, though.

I didn't think we were allowed.

I got this pastiche, but not the simulacrum.

Simulacrum he uses all the time.

Yeah.

No, I mean, like, I'm pretending

pretending they're soups.

Okay, Nagel's stepping away.

You embarrassed her with noops.

Well,

I think she was okay with noops.

I don't think she was okay with noobs.

No one's okay with noops.

I think you did the Simulacrums thing.

When you were saying Stephen Tyler lived next door, I was going to say, Soup in with a ladle.

And then

it was really good.

I was literally,

but you know,

Nagel's not here right now.

Yeah, no.

Yeah.

I told you I met Stephen Tyler once.

When she comes back, no, no, I shouldn't do it when she comes back.

I met Stephen Tyler once

when I worked at Funny or Die.

Where also do I work with Nagel briefly?

but um uh the Steven Tyler uh came in and he did a he just came in and talked to everybody and uh he was just brought up out of nowhere because he's just like a really intense guy who just like keeps talking and just like monologues and just tells stories and overshares um but he was uh he he said uh he was brought up the song uh loving an elevator he said loving an elevator and then he makes eye contact with me and says that song's about eating pussy you know

like okay cool and then you think about it living it up while I'm going down.

And he did like the motion.

He did like the pussy eating motion while I was doing the going down part.

I was like, I guess it's not a settle song.

Pretty straightforward.

I thought of something while I was getting changed.

Souping with the ladle.

Wow.

That's really good.

Is that good?

Yeah, it's really good.

I said that when you're talking about Steve entirely.

Block, that's awesome.

Fuck, yeah, no, that's good as hell.

Fuck.

Nangle now wearing the bespoke Nang Gang t-shirt.

This is the one that we made for the Philly show, and then all the proceeds were donated.

But I need to apologize to anyone, especially if you're not.

All the proceeds went to RFK, which we didn't know at the time.

Right.

We thought it was going to the airport.

RFK airport.

I had to apologize to anyone that bought this shirt, especially men, because

it's really like thin.

Yeah.

And

I think that could look not great on certain people with nipples.

Yeah, not always the most.

Yeah.

So that's what I've always wanted to make.

Oh, and the other reason I want to make new Nangang shirts, and I want people to buy them, and I don't need the money, or you guys don't need the money, they can go wherever.

Uh, is there is, and this sucks so bad, one of the like press secretary people or spokespeople in the Trump administration has the last name of Nangle.

Wow.

And we got Mitch McConnell as well.

Not good for Mitches.

This is different, man.

Yeah.

Because Nangle is like such an unusual shirt.

That's right.

It's not common.

And it's like weiger it's like you know mitchells are everywhere but yeah yes you don't see a lot of you don't see a lot of herb brinks no i think we're the only ones wow and so last time that special apparently no no no

um but um she does she suck this well obviously like is she good she's good i guess i was asking does she particularly suck is she like one of like the very like uh yeah she i mean she she's like the one of the things that sucks the most about her is she's so young like she came out of college

being like this.

But her name is Keegan Nangle.

And as far as I know, I have no relation to her.

But, like, it's possible that if the current lady, like, ever leaves, she'll become like the, you know, her name will be in the news all the time.

And

like, then she'll become a Fox person.

And then what if she wants to make a show called the Nengang?

Right.

Oh, my God.

Yeah.

You got to take over.

So I got it.

So I like need, maybe if there's someone out there that knows about how to trademark this this stuff, like if there's like a certain amount of money you have to make or something like that, like to in order to trademark

the name or whatever.

So I need to do that.

And we could send it to, I forget where we did send it originally because we did say,

didn't the original.

We went to bail funds, I think.

Yeah.

And we could, what do we send our, or to RFK?

Okay, we send our stuff to RFK.

I forgot we were doing the bail.

I'm sorry.

Well,

I think I, hey,

we'd love to, of course, facilitate.

As a member of the Nang Gang myself, we'd love to facilitate.

You're a member of the Nang Gang.

You let him in.

I mean,

if I can be.

Yeah, I let him in.

All right.

I mean, I let him do all the stuff to me that you have to get done.

You beat the meat.

Jesus.

That's not my brain.

That felt wrong coming up.

I have a pitch for a shirt.

Yeah.

Say no to abortion nang gang bans.

So you were gesturing where the top says say no to abortion.

Yeah, yeah.

Then it says nang gang and then bans at the very bottom.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, I like it.

Whatever.

Okay.

We are talking to, but yes, we were talking about Lepan Cotidian.

Have you been to, do you have much experience with this particular chain?

I think I used to live near one when I lived in New York.

Wow.

They have the, they have the

communal tables?

Yes, they do.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So I think I went there a couple times and felt weird and didn't go back.

I don't mind that big old table.

But I like to say le pin coterien.

Like you can sound very French.

Le pin quotirien.

Yeah, I can't do it.

I can't pull that off.

Le pin quotidienne.

I can't do it.

I think it's just

yeah.

I can't do it.

You are saying titty in the middle there, by the way.

The pain of the titty.

Why you were saying you don't mind the big community table when I just pictured you sitting there alone and everyone just leaving the restaurant.

You're laying on it like a sushi person.

I'm having fun.

There are four soups today that we were able to sample.

A gazpacho, which is topped with mango, cucumber, radish, and basil.

There was mango in there.

There was mango in there.

I got a chunk of mango for sure.

There was a chicken soup, mangang, 100%.

There's a chicken soup, which has vegetables, quinoa, and spicy grissa.

There was an organic lentil soup, which was vegetarian.

And then the soup of the day was a tomato soup that was a little bit thick and marinara-y-adjacent.

And we also got a bread basket, Mitch.

This was your request.

We're just reviewing the soups, but bread is a good thing to get from this

spot because that's what they do.

Yeah, Nango Philip.

Breads are on limit.

We should have talked about that.

Yeah.

Soup month breads are on limit.

Breads are on limit.

On limit?

Not off limits.

On limit.

They're on limit.

Breads are on limit.

So the bread basket.

Excuse my son here.

He has his own language.

Included sourdough, wheat, sourdough, rye, baguette, a super seed.

On limit got more than noops.

Five brain and

more questions than noops.

Noops is pretty straightforward.

It was right after new soups.

You mentioned that, but you mentioned that the nippley shirts earlier.

I just wonder.

I got self-conscious too.

No, I have like when my titties away, I have like the little bit of the erect nipples.

I do get to get very self-conscious about that.

No, you guys are both fine.

This is like a thing now where they sell bras for women that have fake nipples in them because like coconut nipples is like in.

They want to show that.

But for like, but I think for just give me one of those bras, I'll be set for the weekend, baby.

I think for people with like, you know, male, male bodies, it's like it can sometimes be a weirder look.

Like, I feel very self-conscious if I got pokies, you know.

Yeah, I kind of like having, I like to show them off.

I just, I'm going to see if I can get them going.

I got one go.

I have one go.

You put it up to the mic.

Let's hear from those diving cutters.

I got them going now.

Do you feel?

Is it a sexual thoughts thing?

No, I just pinch them.

That's all I do.

Is that right?

Isn't that a change?

You can, yeah.

That's what I got.

I just don't.

I don't want to do it.

I don't want to do it.

Come on, do it.

I'm showing mine eyes.

Pinch in your nips.

It's weird.

How do you feel?

I like a cold soup.

I like the guest hot show.

I thought it was pretty.

Midge's nips like a cold soup, too.

I think it cut diamonds.

It usually looks like a charcuterie board over here, big fucking salami.

So it's nice if you got, if you, I think with a chubby guy, you like, you get, you get big,

you know, areolas?

Yeah, you get big areolas.

And so it's nice to have them be, like,

it's nice to have them perk up.

Sure.

Yeah.

It depends on your physique.

Be a good name for your daughter.

Areola?

Yeah.

I like the gaspacho.

I mean, I thought the gazpacho got the job done.

I don't know.

I'm fine with a fucking cold soup.

Who gives a shit?

I thought it was bad.

You didn't like it.

I thought it was, yeah, I thought it was legit bad.

i i i didn't i guess it was probably my least favorite i i i it just it just tasted like a cold marinari sauce to me i thought it had a nice bit of acid to it i didn't mind it

i'll say this i'm just gonna say this off the bat i was disappointed today i didn't think that the soup oh i overall was not like it like excited by this i ate all four i ate all four you were hungry you were hungry i'm a hungry boy i did i got in a long bike ride earlier so like i'm i was pretty you know i burned some calories um and this is this is my dinner so i ate all four soups, but I think there was a thing that you, Nangel, hit on, which was there's kind of a paucity of seasoning about these.

There just was, there was an absence of

salt.

And then, you know, like, like, you know,

it just, a lot of it was kind of

just the ingredients that were in the soup.

The flavor wasn't enhanced at all.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I agree with that.

Yeah.

I agree with that thing I said.

Yeah.

I thought, wait, are we doing it now?

Yeah, we can get into it.

We can get into it.

I actually, for me, the gazpacha was the, was the, my favorite one.

Yeah, I like the gazpacha.

Yeah.

Really?

Yeah, I thought it was like sweet in a good way.

Um,

that I, I mean, I don't think palette-wise, you're supposed to have like a flight of soups.

Like, I don't know if it's like

helps that you're, you know, doing one after the other.

Well, that's what the bread was for.

Um, yeah, that's the thing.

The bread was not Cotidian.

No, I expected the bread to be better.

Wait, what does that mean?

Daily?

Never mind.

Daily, yeah.

You might still be right.

It might still be right.

No, yeah, it was yesterday's Cotine Dienne.

And

yeah, wait, what's today?

Tuesday?

Le Lundie, Monday, French.

Wow, I'm impressed.

But yeah, like,

didn't help.

I would have thought, like, oh, these will be helped by this, like, chunky-looking bread, and it wasn't.

That was good.

I was dipping it into the...

the tomato soup, which very much was a marinara.

Yeah, let's talk.

I mean, let's contrast the popular soup.

They should have gave us mozzarella sticks

instead of bread.

And then I would have loved the tomato soup.

The tomato soup was a little too chunky.

It was, it was just, it was a tomato sauce.

Fuck, no, it's not mozzarella sticks.

Mozzarella sticks are so good.

I know.

We're doing soup month.

That sucks.

You're not allowed to eat anything besides

just the soup and dipping the bread.

Nangel, you had them mozzarella sticks where the form factor is more like a plank.

They're a little bit flatter.

You ever do those versus the tubes?

Yeah,

versus like the cheese straws.

Yeah, we got chilies.

I get them at chilies, and they're pretty, they're pretty fun.

I do like them.

I think I still like their traditional

version a little bit better, but

I can live in both worlds.

I think we maybe had them at the Guy Fieri one that we went to.

We did at Guy's American Grill, which is now closed in Times Square.

But here's my thing about tomato soup: I really

like it, especially if it's creamy.

But that wasn't creamy.

But

also, when I was in labor,

I had soup right before I went into labor.

Wow.

What kind of soup?

Tomato soup.

Wow.

Because I wanted something that I love, and I got the Panera bread tomato soup.

A great

tomato soup.

Really love.

Wow.

Something that they don't necessarily tell you is you might be in so much pain, you're throwing up all during labor.

Oh my God.

And I was

throwing up Panera bread tomato soup, which I love.

Uh, like while I'm on the table, like they give you like a thing, you're like leaning over and you're like puking.

Oh my god, yeah, uh, it's an exorcist time with a pregnancy, basically.

That's what that's crazy.

Can we get some of those for the studio?

Yeah, some music ideas.

Yeah, it's like, yeah, it's like a ring with a I was so confused by what you meant, what you wanted for the studio

that it really like made me not be able to eat tomato soup for like, I just had such a sense memory of that.

So I was kind of looking forward to seeing how I felt having this tomato soup, and it just wasn't worth it.

It's pretty bad.

If I was a baby, I come out, barf is happening, I'm going back in.

I ain't sticking around that long, Legs.

I don't want to, I'm not.

Barf, I mean, it's less gross back inside.

I tell you, it is

all horrible.

You were, you were, you were wide awake for

yeah, wow, geez.

I had painkillers, but

yeah, I was, and I went, they, um, you're allowed to, so I was getting induced.

I was like almost 40 weeks pregnant.

And they say, like, you go have a big dinner or whatever, do whatever.

And, cause you're, you're going to be in the hospital for the next couple of days.

So they said, you can have a glass of wine or whatever.

It's like, you're, it's not going to affect anything.

Right.

So we went to a restaurant and like, I'm nine months pregnant and I was like ordering and I said to the waitress like, so I'm actually about to go have a baby.

So, and I was going to say, so the doctor said, I'm allowed to have a glass of wine.

But before I could get that second part out, she's like, oh, so the no wine, no alcohol for you.

And she took the menu from me.

And I was like, I'm not going to like be nine months pregnant fighting for the like cocktail menu or whatever.

So I just was like, yes, thank you.

And my sister got one, but I didn't even really want it at that point.

But, but yeah.

It's funny.

I think your baby's last meal

was tomato soup before.

I don't know if that ever made it to the baby.

Wow.

yeah i guess if you were thrilled when it came out uh yeah no it was um i think it was fish tacos wow yeah hey not bad no

that's what i named them

and i don't i i just want to say i i don't know if people follow me on social media i'm not really on twitter anymore uh but i'm on blue sky and i purpose i'm not raising my child as non-binary.

I just am avoiding putting any information whatsoever.

Yeah, that's which we respect.

Yeah.

So like when I refer to my toddler as them, or I just refer to my toddler as my toddler, it's because I'm trying to get around providing information for weirdos, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah,

I mean, not among our listeners, no, no, they certainly won't send you some specific baby gift.

Well, actually, maybe I do know

the the yeah, I mean, I what was this big bike ride earlier?

Did you get it you get yourself a paper root?

Yeah,

delivering the daily bugle, you're delivering URLs.

What did you, what did, did you drive around?

What did you do?

No, I just was on the Peloton.

I fucking trimed out a bunch of miles on the old Peloton.

Emma knows the drone.

I do it every couple of a couple times a week.

Yeah.

It's not, I mean, it's like, it's, it's just like, it's there.

You know what I mean?

It's like, it's like, fucking, I can, I have time to knock this out.

Whatever.

I'll go get some cardio.

I thought that the tomato soup was legit bad.

It was maybe my least favorite.

The chicken soup was too,

I just thought this was too brothy.

Didn't you want more stuff?

It was bland.

Yeah.

It was like broth with like a few loose chunks, and then, yeah, no real flavor to it.

I wonder if, like, I mean, if this was just like end of the day stuff.

Oh, could be.

Like, end of the day.

It is a 4 p.m.

You know, a 4 p.m.

soup.

Yeah, and the bread, too.

Like,

I don't know.

Yeah, I thought the chicken soup.

Who was that 6 p.m.?

Land.

Yeah, it shouldn't have been that.

They should have been that tapped.

I don't know.

But maybe.

My Jaws toy just got delivered.

Hey, okay.

There was just a notification.

All right, Amelia, get the car keys.

All right.

No, I don't.

No.

No.

Is it like Royal?

It's a payoff.

Amelia,

what did you have to drive to my house for before?

You didn't pick up vitamins, by the way.

I thought it was your medication.

Wait, it was medication?

I wasn't wrong.

I made you go to my house to get medication.

Yeah, you were feeling nauseous, and I was like, let me just get it for you.

It's fun.

You live five minutes.

I don't want to dox you, but you live live close.

Five minutes in any direction.

Any direction.

Also, I'm 10 minutes late.

Let me see this.

No, no,

this?

The CPAP?

Just the bag.

Oh, okay, good.

Let me see the bag.

Because the direction, my house.

Because I'm imagining that what you actually got was just a CPAP with like a shark face on it.

It looks like Mitch's beauty.

Or just like Roy Snyder with like a CPAP on it.

It is a cool toy.

Wait, you got medication for me?

Is that true?

Yeah.

It was Q Lipto, I think.

You were dynamic.

Wow.

No, this is when I was going through a lot of brain fog stuff.

This is what it was.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

This is what it was.

It wasn't an easy task for that had a good payoff.

I wouldn't send you back for vitamins, to be clear, but a medication.

Okay.

That was needed.

Yes.

Yeah.

Thank you for doing that.

I feel bad about it still.

Anyways, I didn't think any of the soups were good.

And also the lentil soup tasted meaty.

You're saying that was the one that had that.

That one was vegetarian.

Vegetarian.

It tasted like it had some beef in there.

Look, I didn't mind the lentil soup.

I also just, you talk, Dangle, I think you mentioned lentil soup earlier.

It is a healthy soup.

I do like a soup that is a fiber delivery mechanism.

I, because, you know, like, hey, lentils, a lot of dietary fiber, that's great.

You need that in your diet.

This one again, just like, I think, I think this,

it sucks to have to do this on your own, but I feel like we had had a salt and pepper shaker, we could have plussed up these soups like 50%.

It does also understand that it sucks to have to do that.

Yeah, it's hard.

It's a pain in the ass.

You know what I think about lentil soup?

What's that?

Lentil soup is mental fruit, and ginger root is good for you.

Fuck, that's good.

That's good.

What is that from?

I guess the listeners are going to have to tell us.

Wow.

Lentil soup is mental fruit.

And ginger root is good for you.

Lentil soup is mental fruit, and ginger root is good for you.

Yes.

Lentil soup

is mental fruit,

and ginger root is good for you.

Yeah.

Lentil soup is mental fruit, and ginger root is good for you.

Mental fuck.

Lentil soup is mental

fruit.

Lentil soup is mental.

Lentil soup is mental fruit, and ginger root is good for you.

Lentil soup is mental fruit, and ginger root is good for you.

There you go.

Fuck.

We're all ready to read the news.

Oh, is that what it is?

Oh.

The warm-up I learned when I took a voiceover class was: any noise annoys an oyster, but a noisy noise annoys an oyster most.

Any noise, annoys an oost.

I almost said I messed it up the second time.

The first time I almost said moist instead of most.

Any noise, annoys an oyster, but a noisy noise annoys an oyster most.

Wow.

Yeah.

It sucks.

It is.

It's tricky.

People are going to drug off to that for certain.

It annoys an oyster moist.

It was disgusting.

And I also, I was trying to look up my Jaws toy, and I put oyster in the

while I was.

Your Jaws toy is just a mouth guard for your Jaws.

This is it.

It's Jaws' 50th anniversary, the game of Jaws.

Is it plus?

Is it plush?

It's Jaws.

No, it's a toy, and then you can also put your, you put stuff in there, and then it will, it's like a game, and it will bite down on it.

It's from NECA and NECA.

So it'll bite, like, it'll, like, you'll put stuff into Bruce's mouth, and it'll bite down on it.

I've been buying toys lately, which I don't know if this is good.

I think it's good.

Is it?

Yeah, it's fine.

Whatever.

You're going to do something with your money.

Yeah.

What else are you going to do?

I bought a couple toys.

That's fun.

But

I'm going to become a displaying toys guy.

Well, I mean, you don't have to go nuts.

What do you do with the toys that you buy?

I display.

I just put them up and they're right sitting there on the bottom.

Can you play with them?

No, no, no, no.

God, no.

You can.

It's okay.

No, I don't play with the toys.

No.

I was never a Lego guy.

I just try to get, like, you know, I like Jaws.

So when I played the body, toys are fine.

It's a healthy hobby as long as you don't get out of control with it.

Yeah, yeah.

Sometimes we can play with them a little bit.

I am worried about the swastika that was on that, though.

It's not a.

I don't know what you're collecting in there.

It's not a,

it's not a Nazi Jaws.

It's a regular Jaws.

Yeah, I'm not really like, I have books, but I don't really, and I, but I don't like, I've gotten into collecting anything.

I was like, should I be, I don't know, is that a thing to do?

Would I fucking start collecting things?

Become like a cassette guy or something like that.

I don't fucking know.

Yeah.

But you mentioned, I mentioned oysters and then you met, you typed in oysters, but then I had me thinking.

Me and Molasses Boy yesterday, Alan McLeod, we went on a nice, nice long walk and then we went to Little Jewel of New Orleans and we got ourselves some poboys wow uh alan is son of the south has spent some time in nolins down in the bayou uh with the gators and uh is it a new new bit we did with gators yeah anyway um uh with they we accidentally suck them off uh anyway they they trick us uh but anyway so we were we were we were down we were at little jewel and um

I got myself a po-boy I haven't gotten before, which was a combination, half oysters, half shrimp.

Oh, yeah.

It was fucking delicious.

I loved it.

It was a nice one.

It was all mixed together or half and half?

No, it was all, yeah, it was all mixed together.

It was like integrated, but it was a good ass sandwich.

Also, a wet food.

I don't know if you're an oyster fan, but we were saying that's a very wet food.

I love uh white wine and oysters and french fries, it's like my favorite.

Oh, man, yeah, man, yeah, oysters are a delight.

I'll do a raw oyster, I like those a lot.

Um, that

these were fried in this particular po-boy, a lot of fun.

Grilled oyster, I'll do that.

I don't know, I can live in all these worlds.

Oysters are pretty good.

I love oysters, yeah.

What's your is that your favorite?

Wait, do I, what's that your favorite shellfish?

Are you more of a mussels?

I think oysters and mussels are tied as far as bivalves.

Yeah, yeah, okay.

My sister loved oysters, and then she has this blood issue where, like, too much iron,

she has to get like blood drawn let out every so often, and she can't eat oysters, she can't eat raw oysters anymore.

And she that was her, like, her favorite iron levels are too high.

I don't know, I don't know what the exact deal is.

I should care about it more.

I mean, I do care about it very much.

She has to get the oysters drained from her body.

She has to get the oysters drained every month.

But she can only eat, she can only eat gre grilled oysters now.

She can't do the raw oyster.

They have have to put like sea otters all over her body

to crack open the oysters.

Emma, Amelia, you didn't have any of these soups, did you?

No.

No, we opted out.

A bad sign when the deist just is like, did you get anything?

And they're like, no.

Yeah.

I mean,

and I get it here.

I think these were all pretty underwhelming.

Amelia will usually text me to make sure I don't want anything if I haven't responded.

And she didn't even know.

This time I just knew that.

And she just knew.

Pretty underwhelming.

I'm going to say say this, Nang.

We haven't had you back in a long time.

And last week we did a ramen.

It was delicious.

And this just sucks by comparison.

It's bad.

It's really bad.

We should get to our scores.

So, Nagel, you've done the podcast before.

I don't like to go first.

Okay, you don't have to go first.

Because I don't want to have an opinion.

You don't have to go first.

A bitch can go first.

I thought, I'm going to go.

Yeah,

just a reminder, because we normally go out of forks, zero to five forks, but because it's soup month, it doesn't make any sense for it to be forks.

So we're doing zero to five gators.

Zero to five.

I mean, we did soup forks previously, but we knew gators today.

It was zero to five gators, zero to five gators, zero to five gator peens, yeah, gator beans, peans, oh, peens.

I guess peens makes more sense than beans, gator beans, uh

peens and beans.

I

silver like ramen last week was so good.

We get Nangle back here.

What's a silver leg ramen?

Yeah, yeah, why didn't I get offered Silver Lake?

A TV sting.

Yeah,

no, that's fine.

That's fine.

We haven't had you on in a long time.

You have to do le pancakes.

Look, which look.

I will just say, we did offer you a different ramen place.

Yeah, but I'm pretending that you didn't.

But I also expected these to be good.

Yeah.

I also told Wygroup that we ate ramen today after having food poisoning for five days.

It maybe would cause an accident.

So that was also a part of the.

Yeah.

That was a part of it.

Yeah.

I was really let down today.

I'm sorry.

I just was.

I didn't I did not think any of the soups were particularly great.

Did any of your ratings get the Nanglish bump?

Because I was.

I mean, 100%.

Seeing you, you being here, huge bump to the score.

Huge bump.

Okay.

Huge boost to morale here at Dough Boys Media.

And head gum, if anyone else was here.

Every single...

No one's here.

Every single soup had an issue.

There was none that I was like, this is great or even really like very good.

Every soup had an issue.

Every soup had an issue.

There was something going on there.

And

I'm going one and a half

Gators.

Peans.

Gator peens.

One and a half.

So we're rating the whole time.

We're rating all the soups.

I don't know if I'll go next.

And Nagel, you can back clean up.

That to me was like the very boring.

It was hospital soup.

All of that was hospital soup.

Hospital soup.

And you

giving birth to a child, I'm sure that you had soup.

Yeah.

And would you not be surprised by one of these soups coming to you?

I think that any of those soups could be a hospital soup.

Sure.

They're going to up the food in hospitals.

Dude, this is one of my favorite factoids.

Do you know the first U.S.

president who was born in a hospital?

Jimmy Carter.

That is crazy.

Isn't it wild how recent that is relatively?

Up until then, people were like, you know, home births or whatever.

The rest of them were all born in brothels.

That's baby.

Okay.

The gazpacho, I agree with Angle.

I actually liked a little bit.

I thought it was fine.

Chicken soup was pretty bad.

The tomato soup was a bummer.

The lentil soup was okay.

It just needed seasoning.

And the bread was all pretty underwhelming.

I mean, this is the thing.

It's just like...

Lentil soup is mental fruit.

Lentil soup is mental fruit, yes.

And ginger root is good for you.

Fucking dumbass.

Lentil soup is mental fruit and ginger root is good for you.

Look, I like to say that lentil soup is mental fruit and ginger root is good for you.

And I do think this lentil soup was good for me, but it was not particularly yummy.

Again,

just not enough seasoning throughout.

But I can't go that low.

I can't go one and a half Gator peens.

I got to go a little higher.

You can't go one and a half Gator peens?

No, I'm going to go a little higher.

Not much higher, but

I think this rises to two Gator peens.

Okay.

I thought these soups were passable.

And again, I like the Gazpacho to some degree.

But yeah, a pretty disappointing outing for Croc Doburn Fest.

Nagel, take us home.

I think that

I guess it depends on the Gator Pens you have experience with.

Yeah.

For how you,

you know.

We unfortunately have a lot of

Unfortunately,

I don't really.

It's been a while, but

I'm just, I'm more selective about who I bring into my house.

Sure, yeah, it makes sense.

We get it, we get it.

But, uh,

but I think, I think I would go with two, two Gator peens.

Yeah.

Um, maybe if it was like cold outside and the soup was fresh and the bread was fresh, I might feel differently.

But the fact that the bread couldn't even say, and the bread looked good too, like a brown, seedy kind of chunk,

and it didn't, it didn't do it.

So, I'm gonna go with two Gator peens.

Two Gator Peens.

Uh, we're in the hand-holding club, but we're all ballpark buds, we're all in the same sort of proximity here with uh, with Le Pin Cotillion.

Um, hey, that you did it, you did, you did the French you know, did I?

Yeah, you did.

I feel like it's still quo.

No, it's pin, le pin, le pin, quotidian, quotidian.

You did it, you did it, that was better, yeah.

Le Pin Cotirian.

I did it.

Le Pin Cotillion.

That was a review for Crock Dough Burn Fest.

Le Pin Cotillion.

Hey, it's time for a segment.

I've chosen a pie, and Mitch and Nagel must define a series of clues to guess what it is.

The winner gets the pie.

The loser goes home empty-stomached.

This is pie in the sky.

I started eating pie.

Pie, which one is in the sky?

Baked a pastry that was tasty, but a mystery, which kind?

And Nagel and Mitch were giving it their best try.

Guessing this will be the type of this pie.

This'll be the type of this pie.

Okay, you'll take turns solving increasingly obvious clues.

So they'll start out harder.

They'll be inscrutable at first, and they will eventually get more and more straightforward.

You have two lifelines.

You can ask Emma, and you also have the smell test.

So you can sniff the pie.

And Nangel, because you're the guest, you get to choose if you want to go first or second.

And I forget which one is.

I think going second is more helpful because it is an easier clue.

Just to let you know.

Are you trying to psych me out?

I'm not.

Mitch does want to win, but I think he's a woman.

This is one of the only games I do want to win because I want to eat the pie.

I forget if me being a lifeline works or doesn't work if I already know what the pie is.

If you already know, I guess that makes it tricky.

Do you already know?

I do know.

Okay.

But I can be.

Jemmy can be a lifeline.

Sure, you can ask.

You can ask Jemmy.

This is the moment she chooses to talk.

We went to House of Pies for lunch the other day.

How fun is that?

It was so good.

Yeah, what a hoot.

Also, just so the guest knows, you can split the pie with Mitch if you win.

That is also a thing.

You can choose to split the pie with Mitch.

The House of Pies, for people not in Los Angeles, a local, like an old school kind of diner.

Oh, no, I meant something else.

I forgot.

Okay, never mind.

It wasn't House of Pies?

It It was called like the pie house or something.

It's like British pies.

Okay, got it.

Got it.

And it was really good.

Yeah.

It was like a piece of pieces.

Oh, I know.

The hand pies?

Is that what I'm doing?

Yeah, it's like

somebody at work chose it, but it was really, yeah.

It's the place we did in Arizona.

I don't think there's an outlet.

It's like a fancy LA.

Oh, the pasties.

There isn't a Cornish pasty out here, I don't think.

But it might be the same sort of thing.

All right, Nangel, do you want to go first or second?

I'll go second.

Okay, Mitch.

You get the first clue.

The first clue was written by Amelia, and I will disclose that I do not understand it.

See, this is

like, I don't know if I understand it.

I thought it was so obvious.

I thought it'd be the final clue.

All right.

Maybe this will give it away.

Maybe it's just me.

Despite all my rage, I'm still just a pie in a display.

I know it.

You know what it is.

I know what it is, too.

Yeah, we both know it.

That's too easy.

That's too too easy.

Okay, well, then never mind.

I didn't get it.

Wait, I don't get it.

One, two, three.

Pumpkin pie.

It is pumpkin pie.

You fool.

It's the easiest clue.

Wait, what's the reference?

I didn't get it easier.

It's the smashing pumpkins.

Oh, it's a smashing pumpkins lyric.

It is a good last clue.

You are a fool.

I needed this spelled out to me.

Yeah, I say it.

I didn't get it.

It's okay.

Do you want to tell us your other clues?

Are you proud of them?

Yeah, here's my other clue.

My next clue.

I've decided to fuck my own blood relative, a vile act of incest that evokes the name of this sweet pie.

What?

Oh,

pump your kin.

Yeah.

That is pretty good.

That is pretty good.

It's got simulacrum.

Yeah.

So good.

It is?

Yes.

That's a hard, that's a hard clue.

Two completely different.

That could be on Jeopardy.

Like, honestly, like, that could be on.

That could be on Jeopardy.

The dope boys were on Jeopardy.

We were on Jeopardy since we've, since you've last been on, we were a clue on Jeopardy.

And you met the Jeopardy writers.

And maybe this is your little tryout.

Oh, right now.

I'll send.

We got a little text thread, so I'll send this over.

I'll see if we can get this on the air.

Ken Jennings is going down a pie category.

Every answer is what he's doing.

Or an incest category.

This pie is a little freaky, likes being whipped.

Topping, that is.

You can thank God for the seasonal pie, or should I say, thank Gord.

Walnut as American as apple pie.

It's the perfect pie for an all-American holiday.

But literally, clients were not even used.

Pumpkin pie was the answer.

You got to feel like literally, yours was the only one that was, and Nango would have gone.

You know what?

This is a tie.

Yeah.

But I'm going to give you the pumpkin pie.

Pie goes to the guest.

Wow.

I also don't like pumpkin pie.

Wow.

Oh.

I like pumpkin pie.

My grandma used to.

You like.

Ooh, it looks like a fancy pumpkin pie.

Oh, it's a little tiny one.

Look at that.

Thank you.

I'll give it to my kid.

How about that?

That's great.

Hey, that was pie in this the sky.

I'm kind of giving it to your kid, too, in a way, kind of.

Yeah, thank you.

Please stop sending gifts to my kid, Mitch.

It's getting weird.

Hey, just like a restaurant reviewer feedback, let's open the feedback.

Today's email is from Chris.

Chris writes, yo, dough.

Last year on a whim, I entered a raw garlic eating competition at a Massachusetts garlic and arts festival.

Come on, Chris.

The rules were to eat one at a time until there were three contestants remaining, then as many as we could eat in one minute.

We ate 10, then I ate 15 more for the win.

Wow.

So 25 raw garlic cloves, I guess, or bulbs.

I guess cloves.

I mean, yeah, cloves and bulbs, very different.

I recently.

I think it was a free night that night for that guy.

I have to assume it was cloves.

I think if it was bulbs, it would have been specified.

I recently entered 25 garlic bulbs, it is insane.

I recently entered again to defend my title, and the competition was much stronger.

It took 35 to weed us down to three contestants.

I ate 19 in one minute, but a true alpha named Ricardo ate 21.

Both of us beat the previous fest record of 52.

My stomach definitely couldn't compete in a traditional competition like Wings or Hot Dogs.

My question is, what weird food eating competition do you think you could excel in, and what is your goal?

Wally and Irma Nation.

And Mitch, a pick was included.

I will ambigu this for everyone's viewing.

Looks like there's Chris triumphant, I imagine, at the festival.

I was picturing Van Arstalen for a minute, but it's good to know it's a different Chris.

I think I'm a pretty good chugger.

You're a pretty good chugger.

You don't believe it for whatever.

No, I'm also a pretty good chugger.

I mean, I have a large volume of, I can hold a large volume of liquid within my body.

Check this out.

Mitch is chugging an Aquafina bottle.

That was pretty good.

You did get a lot of it all over your beard and shirt, but that was pretty good.

I wasn't that good.

I feel like chugging from a bottle is like a lot harder than a glass.

Thank you, Amelia.

I feel like you do that on dates.

And she doesn't even have her jacket off yet.

She's like, oh.

You haven't even ordered drinks yet.

You just pull out an optapita.

Slide those napkins down to my pants a little bit.

I'm a good chugger.

You don't believe me.

Watch this.

I feel like I need to have it.

I feel.

Can you go get me a drink?

I want to prove that I can chug.

I believe that.

I believe it.

You don't have to demo.

Aren't you on the crew team?

I was on the crew team.

I rode crew team.

I feel like that seems like a

yeah, I didn't like to hang out with the crew guys.

Just water?

I feel like everything's going to be cold.

That's okay.

That helps me.

What do you want to chug?

Do you want some effervescence?

Do you want something

carbonated?

Yeah, I'll do something carbonated.

I'll choose a cookie.

You can do a coke roy.

You want a coke?

I want to just prove to you that I can chug.

You want a coke heavy?

Don't do a coke heavy.

I need to stay up.

I got to do an audition after this.

That's your camera.

I just want to prove to you I can chug.

I believe you.

You don't have anything to prove.

Okay.

You don't have to do it.

No one here doesn't believe that you can chug it.

Yeah.

I believe you can chug.

All right.

Never mind.

I guess.

He's a chug dealer.

I, I, so here, this is not, this is not orthogonal.

This is orthogonal to the question, but I will say one

contest I always win is anything involved with lung capacity because I can hold my breath for a very long time.

I won the Superman float competition as a kid, which was a face-down float in the pool.

Whoa.

And I was just down there.

I could outlast it every time.

The crowd left.

Including your parents.

Were your parents like, hey, you should enter this?

It was wild.

My son, please.

No, Coke.

All right, Mitch is turning down the coconut water in exchange for a Coke heavy.

But that was, because I remember that.

I was like probably like eight years old or something like that.

But I just remember being face down in the pool.

And I was just like, I could go.

I could go all day and then i just feel someone's just like just grabbed me and like pulled me out of the pool it's like you won you won i was like okay all right you know yeah

mouth to mouth

it sounds like a child pedophile organized that so they would get an opportunity to do mouth to mouth

i i um but yeah anything so he's running it now

superman float competition my backyard my above ground pool i i i really

so yeah if there was anything like that that involved holding my breath, I'd be in good shape.

But if we're talking about actual food consumption, yeah, I can do a lot of liquid fucking tea competition.

You do great in loving in an elevator.

I could be loving in an elevator.

That song's about going down.

What is that?

Oh, it's about eating pussy.

Oh,

what uh,

you know what?

I like sweets make me nauseated, but I bet we talking, we were talking oysters earlier.

I bet I could slurp down a lot of oysters, and I bet you a lot of raw shrimp.

I bet, like, that's the sort of stuff where my stomach would not turn from it.

I think I could just have, I could just take down a bunch of shrimps.

Yeah, that's my mom.

Okay, hi, mom.

You know, I'm going to chug the coke.

Okay.

I didn't answer.

Um, I feel like I'm not good at any of these things.

Yeah, that's the other thing.

Now I'm thinking back on the shrimp off, which we did with Hollywood Handbook.

Oh, you were really bad at that shrimp.

I performed pretty poorly at the shrimp off.

So maybe I should eat my own words.

No, it wasn't raw.

I didn't know that was the thing people ate raw shrimp.

Yeah.

I mean, I think they do anything.

Like, the way these eating competitions work, there's fucking everything is out there.

You know, people will just eat like corn cobs or whatever,

just gallons of mashed potatoes,

all that stuff is on the table.

Are you talking about that or is this your porn?

I mean, I feel like I could do the garlic cloth.

I feel like that's easy.

Yeah, I could do that.

I mean, especially were they, but they were just raw, huh?

You know what I could do is spicy.

I could do a lot of spicy

heat seeker.

I used to be able to do spicy, but I feel like it would kill me now.

Like, like I would do it, but then it would afterwards, because I did Howland Ray's extra Howlin' or whatever.

Yes.

And I ate it.

And people are like, you're really eating that.

And I was like, I am.

And then I almost died the next two days or whatever.

Right.

But

I don't, I don't know if like I can eat a lot of Doritos.

You know what I mean?

But I can't eat them fast.

I don't know.

I don't know if there's anything in particular.

I mean, if it was an endurance contest.

Sure.

But it's often about speed.

It's often about speed.

Yeah.

Is there anything you think?

I mean, like, I could eat a whole pizza.

I could eat a large cheese pizza and I could probably do it pretty quick is my guess.

but like, I'm not good at any of these.

I hate eating a pizza.

I'm a good chugger.

That is what I'm good at.

I don't believe you.

God.

Why did I do it?

I do believe you.

Don't, Mitch, do you?

You don't have to do it.

No, I do.

I do.

Look, we all make sacrifices for the podcast.

This feels like a teen movie where you're like, I can climb to the top of the water tower.

And we're like,

you don't have to do it.

You're like, no, I'm going to do it.

And there's a lightning storm.

And then you do it, but we're telling you not to do it.

And I get struck by lightning.

And then you get struck by lightning.

You know, I am the loser who needs to prove himself but i do i do i do kind of want to prove it okay well well am i going to be slow i feel like if it was out of a glass i would do quicker but i might as well want a glass when you'll give you a glass no no no but you stick your key in the side like to give it some air

yeah is that what that's for

yeah i didn't know that air can get in otherwise you have to let it in through the mouth hole yeah that's why a lot of like professional like they like push air into the top of the bottle and then it like swirls down basically or if you do it with a bottle, people will put like a straw in it so that they can air can get in while you're chugging.

All right, maybe I'll get a cup.

Maybe I will get a pint glass.

Amelia, I'm not trying to make

Amelia.

Can you go to my house and get a cup?

I think just because you couldn't remember what you wanted to yell at her about, so you're just taking her damage.

I mean, this is probably a part of it.

Amelia went viral for with a Doughboys cup just recently.

We'll have her talk about it when she gets back.

She got hundreds of thousands of views on Darren Arthur.

How how about that more than any doughboys clip or doboys episode ever uh i'm not on tick tock i'm also not on instagram but i never like deactivated my instagram account and i've like over the years i've like i've had friends who've been like you never accepted my my invite or whatever my request and i'm like i haven't checked it and and so adam pally is in was he ever on the show

yeah we've been pally on so he's in my episode of the simpsons which is this sunday wow um and he posted about it on Instagram and then used my old handle, like written by Nanglish.

So now I have to, I feel like I need to go on Instagram and like reactivate just to be like, guys, nobody be mad.

Bye.

All right.

He's got it.

He's got a poured.

I think I can chug it.

I wonder what you'll think if you think.

I wonder if you'll just think this is slow.

That's my, that's my worrying.

Yeah, you should time me.

Amelia, we're talking about your viral video, by the way.

Also, watch, watch Nangels, watch Nangels Simpsons episode.

Five.

Just about five seconds.

Five seconds even.

Now we know.

Where's the burp?

Come on.

I did already.

I guess you can chug.

I am impressed.

Just, I don't know.

I guess it's good to make people aware of a show called The Simpsons.

Yeah.

I'm on Blue Sky at Nanglish, and

that's all you need to know.

Do you like Blue Sky?

I have not delved into Blue Sky yet.

I do.

It's like scratching the, like, the downfall of Twitter,

I almost feel embarrassed that

I feel bad about it because I did enjoy a lot of elements of it.

And I feel like I really did meet like friends.

No, I met people on Twitter.

Yeah, for sure.

And also, friends, friends of the show, Libby Watson,

Jesse Farrar, Mike Hale, these are the Stephen Heck.

These are all people that I know through Twitter.

Yeah.

And like them, you kind of get, and also just, I haven't been on Instagram really ever, but like you, you kind of get removed out, taken out of someone's like field of view almost.

Like they forget about you or you forget about them, like all that.

And it really bombs me out

to not have that anymore.

So Blue Sky is like a lot of the same people.

It's a lot of politics talk.

And so I learned, I get a lot of my news that way.

And like, I like follow Jamel and he posts, you know,

always says the smartest thing that anyone is possibly saying.

I guess I also know Jamel through Twitter.

Really?

Yeah.

Think about it.

Yeah.

He's got great Instagram videos.

That's why that's why I watch his videos all the time.

Sanity.

He has, he makes you feel more sane.

Yeah, he does.

That's exactly right.

Like he makes you feel like he's seeing this too yeah um but then also like you don't i don't feel crazy posting like dumb puns or something like that it's like kind of you can have whatever and some people say it's like an echo chamber of

like leftist stuff or whatever but also like some people aren't on social media because they want to be called a bitch or like all these other words and stuff like that or anything like that so i i like it you can see the echo chamber of x on the other side

I will look at it and it's horrifying.

I've looked at it.

I look at it from time to time.

I don't want to, I don't want to delete.

I just feel like there's so much.

Is there a world where Elon sells it at some point and it becomes normal again?

Well, I don't know if that's ever going to happen.

I just feel like it's also, it's like a little bit of like a diary or something.

Like not that I posted like super personal stuff, but you can kind of see like the evolution of some stuff and like some videos I made that I posted to Twitter.

Like I can't get that.

Like I I don't, I don't feel, I don't want to post it about, like, I don't want to draw any traffic to Twitter or whatever.

So it just, I feel so sad about what it became.

But yeah, like, I can't, I can't believe what it became in the sense that like, I, like, will read it and be like, I can't believe people are saying all these, these horrible things, like just out loud.

It's horrible.

I fully, I fully deleted, deactivated my, my X account like earlier this year.

I just like, I hadn't, I wasn't on Twitter for two or three years and I was just like, oh, fuck it.

I'll just delete this fucking thing.

So I'm squatting about it.

I squatted your name.

I took it over.

That's what I'm worried about.

Like, I made it private.

So you have to already be following me to see my tweets.

But, um, but I don't want anyone to be posting like under my, yeah, like to just, you know, get that an English name.

Right.

So anyway, blue sky, but really, none of us should be on social media.

It's true.

Go outside.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Go outside and while you're there, listen to a podcast.

That'll do it for this episode of Doughboys.

Until next time for the Spoon Man, Mike Mitchell, I'm Tiger Weiger.

Happy eating.

See ya.
