Speaker 2 In 1958, Momofuku Ando, a Taiwanese-Japanese entrepreneur-born GoPek hawk, invented instant noodles, at first a novelty, but in time a borderline revolutionary foodstuff.

Speaker 2 Ando's 1971 iteration on his innovation to create cooked-in-container cup noodle, originally Americanized as kapo noodles, became a worldwide phenomenon, introducing the little-known dish of ramen to the West.

Speaker 2 But the effect was to categorize ramen as a value play in the American collective consciousness. Cheap eats for the broke, not worthy of a splurge.

Speaker 2 It would take the emergence of proper Japanese American ramen restaurants to shake Yanks out of that bias and spend real money on what they'd consumed for pennies as college kids.

Speaker 2 One of those impactful entrants into the market was the brainchild of Takahaki Koyama, a Japanese immigrant who'd lived stateside since 1988. In two thousand two, just as George W.

Speaker 2 Bush's Axis of Evil speech kicked off the inexorable march to a ruinous war in Iraq, Koyama began a sort of culinary invasion, opening his first authentic ramen restaurant in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Little Tokyo.

Speaker 2 Modeled after the tucked away alleyway slurp shops in Big Tokyo, Koyama's eatery attracted both his fellow Japanese expats and curious corn-fed Americans, becoming an iconic LA institution.

Speaker 2 Today, with a half-dozen locations in the Greater Southland, the chain's enduring popularity, nearly a quarter century since its opening, speaks to the growth of ramen as a delicacy in the U.S., which must be partially attributed to the restaurant's trailblazing founder, Takahaki Koyama.

Speaker 2 And Ramen's global presence at large must be partially attributed to Momofuku Ando, who lived until age 96, attributing his longevity in part to his nearly daily consumption of his own instant noodle invention.

Speaker 2 This week on Doughboys, we continue Croc Dough Burn Fa S 2025, a supersized month of bisques, broths, stews, and stocks, and crocs with Daikoku Ya.

Speaker 2 Welcome to Doughboys, the podcast about chain restaurants. I'm Tiger Weiger, along with my co-host,

Speaker 2 Mini Boney Soup, the Spoon Man Mike Mitchell.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 2 I think it's a small hog roast, Minnie Boney, as opposed to Minnie Stroney.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 You got a little guy.

Speaker 2 I think that's what's going on there.

Speaker 1 Honestly, I would have liked small dick soup better. If they just said small dick soup, I'd be like, all right, that's fine.
Mini bony to minestrone soup.

Speaker 2 Mini bony soup.

Speaker 2 Soup-related spooky season roast. Been a fan since day one, and I'll be a fan well after day done.

Speaker 2 Wow. Team Burger Boy.
Let's go. That's a good threat.
NBA season about to start up with that. Sean Sakimai.
We know Sean. A Snapanese in the Dough Scarlet.

Speaker 1 Oh, I like Sean. Sorry to make fun of your roast somewhere.

Speaker 2 No, he loves it.

Speaker 1 Sean, it sucks.

Speaker 2 P.S. Doughboy's double idea for Crock Dough Burn Faest.
Rank your favorite soups, Superman movies. Roasted BirdFuck.com.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think we've already got the double slate lined up, all cleaned up. And this might be the last episode of Crock Dough Burn Faest.

Speaker 1 So this is the one. And the eagle-eyed viewers maybe have noticed some changes over the course of episodes.
Don't look at it and give it away.

Speaker 2 Maybe if you're an eagle-eyed listener or viewer, rather, you've noticed some, I mean, maybe listener, considering how, like, you know, like, I,

Speaker 1 what's the equivalent for eagle eye

Speaker 1 for listeners? Like, uh, like

Speaker 1 eagle ear. Eagle-eared listeners.
Our guest is right. Eagle-eared listeners.

Speaker 2 But this is, no, this is something, this is a visual cue for a lot of people.

Speaker 1 Who's a good listener? Cats can hear stuff really well, right? Or are they sight?

Speaker 2 A dog here can hear stuff?

Speaker 1 Jemmy can hear a lot.

Speaker 2 Can we find out what animal has the best hearing? And then we'll just coin the phone.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we're going to coin the phrase.

Speaker 1 Wags, we had a camera on Jemmy's back before this whole start. It was very cute.

Speaker 2 Yeah, we had the Jemmy, the Jemmy cam was really cute. We see the Jemmy cam is just lingering over there, just kind of rolling from Jemmy's POV loosely.
But yeah, it was mounted on her back.

Speaker 2 So it'll be a lot of fun. Look, watch late.

Speaker 1 Yeah, go on. Oh, no, you go first.

Speaker 2 I was going to say a lot of fun footage later to scrub through of like, yeah, me holding a jar of peanut butter.

Speaker 1 Jemmy rejecting you.

Speaker 1 I do wonder if Jemmy started like an OnlyFans,

Speaker 1 how many of our listeners would subscribe to like the Jemmy subscribe. Jemmy's POV, like OnlyFans.
Jemmy's P-O-V.

Speaker 2 Why an OnlyFans?

Speaker 1 Well, I don't know, because I don't know.

Speaker 2 It doesn't have to be like a fuck thing.

Speaker 1 Well, it's the only,

Speaker 1 it was just one-to-one. Okay, it could be a Patreon.

Speaker 1 Okay, sorry.

Speaker 2 No, but I could say OnlyFans, and I'm just thinking like it's like Jemmy's like fucking and sucking.

Speaker 2 And like, I know, we know she's a horny southern bell, but I feel like that would be a little bit out of character.

Speaker 1 I bet some of our listeners would watch it, though. Subscribe for sure.
My sex drive is low. We were talking about this right before

Speaker 1 the podcast started. Nobody's fucking anymore.
We need to up the fucking in America.

Speaker 2 We need to start fucking. We need to start jacking off.
Start jacking your shit. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Start pulling yourself out. I haven't seen anyone jack off in public in so long.
Nobody does it anymore.

Speaker 1 You've seen it? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
All right. Oh, yeah.
Maybe this is the benefit of being a man that never has to see stuff like this, possibly. But we were in New York City.

Speaker 1 I didn't see any public jacking.

Speaker 2 No, I mean, I was on the subway. I saw a guy, like, start to take it out, and he's going to start jacking off.

Speaker 1 He's like, what's the point? And then you went over there. Come on, buddy.
Dude, you have to do it. How about you get jacked up? Nah, who cares?

Speaker 1 I did see a guy walking through Washington Square Park that had no pants on. He wasn't

Speaker 1 jacking it, but he was, you know, no pants. Are you fully bottomless?

Speaker 1 Yeah, he was fully bottomless and he was a little bit more than a little bit.

Speaker 1 He was a little bit further, kind of over it, but not really. Well, that his ass was full out and he was just like walking around like that.

Speaker 2 And I was like, okay, there's a distinction with no pants of like if you're wearing underwear, it's a little bit, but if you're your ass is out, yeah,

Speaker 1 ass was out, also.

Speaker 1 Asexuality crisis, yeah. Also, the um, apparently, according to hearing sense of Australia, the great greater wax moth has the best hearing in the world.

Speaker 2 Wow, greater wax moth-eared listeners rolls off the tongue.

Speaker 1 We're on, we're all we're all on the same page. We're on the same page.
We did zip, zap, zap right before we got.

Speaker 1 So I'm starting some well-butrenin with my Lexapro. Okay, I hope that works out for you.
Which might have some Austin Powers-y-type side effects.

Speaker 2 The idea was specifically prescribed to try to boost your sex drop. Yeah, baby.
That's part of it.

Speaker 1 Okay, see what happens. Let's see if my mojo comes back, which was me, like, you know,

Speaker 1 you know, jacking off like once every three weeks. So let's see if I can get back to that level.
We'll see what happens.

Speaker 2 A puppet of Viagra so you can bust into your shower drain.

Speaker 1 The shower is $10. The shower sees me with a Viagra.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 I think it's kind of expensive. I've never got a bag.

Speaker 1 Good ending. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't know. I think it's like $10.50.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 2 Depends. You can get it cheaper some places.
It's weird.

Speaker 1 I actually,

Speaker 1 I,

Speaker 1 I, I mean, whatever. We're honest about everything here.
Yeah. But I, I, I went through hems and there's a Frankenstein pill that like helps your hair and helps you.

Speaker 1 It's like sialis times like minoxidil. Wow.
So I got a little Frankenstein pill I'm going to take. There you go.
So I'm going to have long hair and be jacking off all over the place.

Speaker 1 It's going to be great. Bolts in your neck.

Speaker 1 Wags,

Speaker 1 you know, we didn't talk about this, but when I was in New York City, the first day,

Speaker 1 I almost got stuck in the subway door. What? Oh, that's right.
We didn't talk about this.

Speaker 2 We saw this happen. I witnessed this.
Yes.

Speaker 2 You were trying to get off with your suitcase.

Speaker 1 The suitcase like jammed you. You were behind me.
I was behind you.

Speaker 1 We went on to the next stop, and and i yeah i i ripped that thing i ripped it open yeah uh it was a it was quite a display of power but i i did get the door shut on the the subway door shut on me yeah i didn't know they could fully shut on a guy until i saw witnessed it myself yeah yeah it was it was so it was like on either arm it was kind of like in the i kind of turned and it kind of did like the slot like a like a the horror movie slot like if it was like you know machines versus man yeah right cut me in two would have cut you in two yeah yeah yeah but i and then i kind of fucking just ripped it open yeah i I said, something bit me.

Speaker 1 That's what I said when I walked off the other side. Far scump reference that no one cares anymore.
Yeah. Wasn't funny.
And I thought that was a Charlie bit me reference. Oh, what is that?

Speaker 1 What's that? Charlie Bit My Finger? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Wait, you don't know Charlie Bit My Finger?

Speaker 1 No, what's that?

Speaker 2 This is like one of the original YouTube videos. I think it's now an NFT.

Speaker 1 It's a generational divide. Yeah.
Wait, it's an NFT.

Speaker 2 I think they made it into an NFT. I think they cashed out.

Speaker 1 So you can't watch it anymore?

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 I don't know if it's back or not, but they do at some point. What was the deal with the NFT?

Speaker 2 I don't know. I got a whole bunch of NBA top shots that aren't worth nothing.
It was a good use of pandemic funds.

Speaker 1 Yeah, good job. You dried out a lake so you can get some fucking,

Speaker 2 so you can own like one of 37 JaVail McGee top shots.

Speaker 1 And you forgot your night guard when you were in New York.

Speaker 2 I did, yeah. I was a little clenchy, a little grindy.
It's all right.

Speaker 1 Yeah. How was your trip? Did you enjoy it over at all?

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, look, I'll just say this. And thank you to everyone who came out to NYCC and to the signing over at Forbidden Planet, Great Comic Store.

Speaker 2 I enjoyed doing the panel. A lot of great questions.
Meeting people afterwards. People are like very, I mean, there's a thing about the Dough Boys fans.

Speaker 2 Some of them are freaks, but some of them are sweeties.

Speaker 1 And some of the freaks are sweeties. The freak turnout was very low.
Can I also just review? Well, no,

Speaker 2 I mean, there was was a good great turnout, but the percentage who were like legitimate.

Speaker 1 Not a freak was seen except just random Comic-Con.

Speaker 2 I think you're being a little...

Speaker 1 I thought everyone we met. There were a lot of freaks.
They were lovely, though. They're lovely freaks.
Yeah, there are.

Speaker 2 I say freaks affectionately.

Speaker 1 Sure, me too. But

I thought that was a certified banger.

Hi, Sandy. Thanks so much for being here.

Speaker 2 Well, before I was behind the paywall, we had you on a Patreon episode talking about the dinosaurs series finale where they all die.

Speaker 1 Were you testing me out to see if

Speaker 1 I could be released from paywall?

Speaker 1 I was asking Johnny Carson, also not to make myself seem even older. Johnny Carson came up to the couch.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 You see a pivotal moment in late night.

Speaker 1 I just came up to the couch.

Speaker 1 You came up to the couch. They don't let people go to the couch anymore.
Fuck, that's good. I see why you're here.

Speaker 1 These days, the stands-up stands up. The couch people sit on the couch.
It's true. It's true.
Get Fallon, call people up to the couch.

Speaker 2 People over to the couch.

Speaker 2 Yeah. I'm keeping a pretty close eye on her.

Speaker 1 She's still around.

Speaker 1 You know what? Yeah. Let the stand-up do.

Speaker 1 Let the stand-up play beer pong, Fallon.

Speaker 2 You should stand-up play beer pong. You should play beer pong.

Speaker 1 Let the stand-up be the musical guest. Yeah, why not? Why not?

Speaker 1 Whatever. Look, late night.

Speaker 1 And this is why late night is more important than ever. Late night has never been true.
Because we've all had to mobilize. We have.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, it's crucial.

Speaker 1 We're backing late night. I'm tuning into every late night.
I watch every late night show every night.

Speaker 1 Gutfield Live. You got it.
Yeah. Yeah.
That's it. That's the only one I watch.
Bill Maher. Bill Maher.
I watch that. Bill Maher as well.

Speaker 1 Bill Maher's has been a consistent, he's just always been good. I'm more of a club random guy.
Yeah. Yeah.
He's a little more laid back. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know, get the suit off.

Speaker 1 Smoke a little reefer. Let's just kick back.
Keep it real. That guy's got the craziest amount of work done.
He looks like he's made of clay.

Speaker 1 Hey, DC James Gunn, Bill Maher is clay face. Pretty good cash.
Perfect. Be fine.
Did you guys watch any of his new stand-up special? Bill Maher? Yeah. No, I have not watched it yet.
Is it?

Speaker 1 Do you love it? Amazing.

Speaker 1 He's got the tightest little pants on. The tightest pants you could ever see on a guy.
Wow. I worked at Bill Maher.
This is the truth. Really? As a CBS page.

Speaker 1 So didn't actively make the choice to work at Bill Maher, but I did audience seating at Bill Maher.

Speaker 1 And I've told this before, there used to be a thing in the opening that was like, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

Speaker 2 You remember that opening? Yeah, and you did it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was me. That's why they don't do it anymore.

Speaker 1 Yeah, well after I had a go. No, and it would be like during the opening, it would be like,

Speaker 1 get him out of here. Do I have to come down there and do that myself? And he was basically yelling at

Speaker 1 pages, CBS pages, which

Speaker 1 we were told before every taping. He's like,

Speaker 1 you can't get involved with any audience member if anyone says anything you legally can't touch them or talk to them so it was like or like like you can't tell them to do anything that was basically it so like bill maher is like do i have to come down there and do that myself and it was like all for people that could literally couldn't do anything so just to show that he's always been like a dumb asshole wait explain so but that was part of the

Speaker 1 there was a guy in the audience who like started to protest bill maher and as pages we were told not to do oh okay okay yeah and then bill maher was like do i gotta come down there and do that myself and then he did it and it was like well yeah, you do because we're told we can't do anything or we'll get fired.

Speaker 1 So I was just trying to show that he's just always been like a full of shit piece of shit. Looks like Clay.
I just watched a clip of him interviewing Louis C.K. Oh, yeah.
On the two of my favorites.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was.

Speaker 1 Unfortunately, Bill Maher made me laugh.

Speaker 1 He made me laugh. Oh, wait, did Louis just do his show?

Speaker 1 He did. Yeah, he was like interviewing him about the Saudi Arabia comedy festival.
And that Louis C.K. just wrote a novel.

Speaker 2 Okay, just like Woody Allen, who was also on Club Random.

Speaker 1 I bought the novel. And there are more things in common.

Speaker 1 I bought the Louis C.K. novel and all the pages were stuck together.

Speaker 1 That was good. That was good.
No, it wasn't. Don't give yourself credit.
That was good.

Speaker 1 They were stuck together

Speaker 1 from all the jerking.

Speaker 1 How did he make you laugh? What happened? He was kind of making fun of Louis for what he did.

Speaker 1 That's good. All right.
That made me laugh. Bill Maher on the right.
You know what? Yeah. Maybe Bill Maher was on the right side of history on this one thing.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He had a few off-the-cuff moments where against my will, I'm laughing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And that's how you know the guy's good.

Speaker 1 This makes me sad because now tonight I'm going to go home and watch a Bill Maher Louis C.K. interview.
That's I know. It sucks that why did I bring that up?

Speaker 1 Because why am I like plugging that but it was also funny because yeah Louis C.K. wrote a um

Speaker 1 a novel about like I heard that the pages

Speaker 2 well what about the pages

Speaker 1 I heard they're all stuck together oh my god must be a manufacturing issue

Speaker 1 edges um

Speaker 1 but yeah he wrote like a

Speaker 1 a novel pages stuck together about kind of like a little boy in like the 40s that okay sure it's like lives on a farm and i was kind of like

Speaker 1 why

Speaker 1 why did you um do that that is why that is that is truly strange it's just like a sad story about like a little boy who's born on a farm look

Speaker 1 he used to come to ucb all the time and he was very funny when i saw him there that's the truth i would never say the man's not funny yeah funny harris harris widdles open for his big first special you can see the birthday boys yeah the his like when he was coming back you can see the birthday boys if you want to find it you can find the birthday boys giving a standing ovation to Louis C.K.

Speaker 1 in one of his first specials as Harris Whittles opened for him that night.

Speaker 2 When our friend Harris Whittles passed away, there was a

Speaker 2 you know, there was the small memorial, but there was like a little bit more of a not public thing, but just like a little bit of a larger audio.

Speaker 1 Talk about the UCB with the UCB.

Speaker 2 And they, Neil Campbell up there, read a letter that was sent in from Louis C.K. Yes, yeah.
The problem is he had trouble opening it.

Speaker 1 That's right. I think it it was stuck together.

Speaker 1 Yeah, due to a manufacturing issue.

Speaker 1 I believe

Speaker 1 we did tributes to Harris that night, and I believe I played one of Harris's famous sketch characters, Skeezy B.

Speaker 2 That's right, Skeezy B.

Speaker 1 Which was, I mean, look, we were all processing how to handle this thing. Let's perform some of his sketches.
Let's perform some of his sketches as I'm crying doing the line.

Speaker 1 Dressed up as a cowboy for some reason.

Speaker 2 He did write a very funny old West sketch.

Speaker 1 He was a very funny man. We love him.
Then he opened for Louis C.K. Yeah.
So he's probably in hell, unfortunately.

Speaker 1 We love you, Aris.

Speaker 1 Anyway, I brought my laptop in today, Y. That's right.
Very obviously. I first thought I think I've ever, ever brought in my laptop to the Doughboy studio.
Doing some emails. We're doing some emails.

Speaker 1 Look, there's a big email we're going to do to

Speaker 1 Taco Bell.

Speaker 2 You brought your laptop in for that?

Speaker 1 I mean, that is more so than for the fucking. Wait, are we supposed to have headphones on? No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no. We're laid back.
No worries.

Speaker 1 I mostly brought in for the Taco Bell email. I also,

Speaker 1 we have to do taxes. We have to do taxes, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. We're on those business sides.

Speaker 2 Ah, the taxes. And people may be like, hey, this episode's coming out in October.
What are you talking about?

Speaker 2 You get your taxes extended, your corporate taxes extended. The deadline's October 15th.
So that's that roughly timestamps when this.

Speaker 1 That's right. The Doughboys taxes are due.
And so we got to do that after the show. So speaking of.
Which actually I look forward more to than the show. Doing

Speaker 1 the taxes. Yeah.
It was kind of nice to just be like, What did we do?

Speaker 1 What do we buy? What did we do? Oh, cool. We spent $80,000 on fast food this year.
That's like what we'll see.

Speaker 1 That sounds low.

Speaker 1 Possibly is low.

Speaker 2 Hey, speaking of time-stamping this, we were here in October, the spookiest of months.

Speaker 2 Sandy, where are you in Halloween? Are you a Halloween fan?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Oh, I love Halloween.
You love Halloween. Yeah.
Favorite holiday?

Speaker 1 Yeah, do we have to do it? Not anymore. Not anymore.
I work past it.

Speaker 1 I am very easily scared. Oh, okay.
Very easily scared. But I like Halloween.
Movies don't scare you much. No, they scare me very much.
Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 What's what is what's a spooky, what's like the spookiest in your mind? Exorcist? I like won't watch those. I remember like being younger when people would play them at a sleepover.

Speaker 1 I would just go to sleep because I couldn't watch them. That was how my trajectory was.

Speaker 1 That was my trajectory. I was afraid of gremlins famously at my friend Justin's house.
And it's truly not even a scary movie for children.

Speaker 1 And then I remember seeing Gremlins 2, Gremlins, the new 2, the new batch in theaters with my cousin Colleen. And that was like, it was a big step for me to be able to go and see it in the theaters.

Speaker 2 I had a similar sort of thing when we were to sleep over. My friend put on Scary Movie.
And I was like, I don't know.

Speaker 1 Oh my God, I just re-watched Scary Movie.

Speaker 2 It's not actually that scary. It's pretty funny.

Speaker 1 It's not.

Speaker 1 It's also like 20 years old.

Speaker 1 That movie was funny. Yeah, it was funny.
It's very, we talk about, I maybe like Scary Movie 2 more. I love scary movie movie movie movie.
That's the one with Chris Elliott. And you know what?

Speaker 1 That's what everyone says when you say, I like Scary Movie 2, and they go, that's the one with Chris Elliott. It is the one with Chris Elliott.
It is the one with Chris Elliott.

Speaker 1 He says, here, take my good hand. It's a fucked-up little hand.
It's a fucked-up little hand. It's iconic.

Speaker 1 It's great.

Speaker 1 And then,

Speaker 1 what's his name? Is his name Stony? We have a friend named Stony Sharp. Yeah.
But is it who is the Wayne's brother that's like the high guy that

Speaker 2 Marlon?

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. Is his Marlon?

Speaker 2 But I don't remember the character's name.

Speaker 1 That's what you're trying to put in. I just watched it.
His name is...

Speaker 1 It's something.

Speaker 1 I don't know. Stony is not like a bad name.
It's not Stony, but it's like not Stony. It's like, it's a nickname for sure.
It felt like a nickname. You can look it up.
In my head, you can look it up.

Speaker 2 Can we get an IMDb on a scary movie too?

Speaker 1 He also, he gets. He's so funny.
A weed plant.

Speaker 1 gets really big and then rolls him into a joint and then it's get bit and lights his hair on fire and smokes him it's very very funny he's credited as a writer Why is he not telling me his favorite?

Speaker 1 Well, I think this is the IMDb.

Speaker 2 IMDB has gotten all fucked up. You have to go down to like this.

Speaker 1 This is not an easy thing to navigate anymore.

Speaker 2 So you see, like full campaigns.

Speaker 1 You don't appreciate me yelling at you as you're doing it.

Speaker 1 I mean, a lot of times. But also, maybe I'm mixing.
Shorty.

Speaker 1 Shorty. It was Shorty.

And David Cross,

Speaker 1 a headgum podcast man. That's right.
He's in the movie.

Speaker 2 Hello, headgum podcaster.

Speaker 2 So, like, is Halloween, like, is that your number one holiday?

Speaker 1 I like it for sure. You like it for sure.

Speaker 1 I would say maybe it's, yeah, I like it. It's really fun.
It's up there.

Speaker 2 Do you have a favorite Halloween candy?

Speaker 2 Or did you have a favorite one you were looking forward to when you're trick-or-treating as a kid?

Speaker 1 Butterfinger.

Speaker 2 Butterfinger is a lot of fun.

Speaker 1 You're a regular Bart Simpson.

Speaker 1 Do you guys want to hear my Bart Simpson impression? Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 1 This is a sort of classic Bart Simpson that I do.

Speaker 1 Eat my gumballs.

Speaker 1 Pretty good.

Speaker 1 That's good as hell. He doesn't really say that, but that's what, in my head, he goes, eat my gumballs.
I love it.

Speaker 1 I love, I love Bart was very, you know, when Halloween was very important to me, Bart was also very important. Bart is still important to me, of course.
I've never gotten over Bart. Yeah.
I love Bart.

Speaker 1 I love Homer.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Bart has always been very important to me. I've never really gotten over Bart, but Homer's, Homer's up there.

Speaker 1 Homer's, Homer's way up there. I've never gotten over Halloween.
I still love it. To me, it's so fun.

Speaker 1 I'm kind of sad that we were in New York, like we were saying, and I'm sad to come back from New York because

Speaker 1 the East Coast, it feels more Halloween-y over there. Why? Because it's just no doubt that

Speaker 1 you get that Halloween vibe. But it is right around the time of year where it is, things are changing.
At nighttime, the weather is a little bit cooler.

Speaker 1 It feels if there is, this is like the start of a season for us.

Speaker 1 But I like the East Coast spooks. I like the, I like the speakers.
I like the East Coast spooks.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It was fun because growing up,

Speaker 1 my mom lived in New Haven and then my other friends lived in like the suburbs. So then they would all come to New Haven for a trick-or-treating.
So it was really fun. That's awesome.

Speaker 1 Because everyone would come to my house. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Make that happen. And also some good pizza in that town.
Literally. We've never talked about this before, but did you.
You've never talked about New Haven pizza? No, no, no.

Speaker 1 With you, we've never talked about it. I mean, I took a tour of New Haven during COVID.
We actually went. So, God, when was this? This was probably exactly five years ago, Wags.

Speaker 1 We went down for my birthday in October of 2020.

Speaker 2 I want to die.

Speaker 1 Just want to be killed.

Speaker 1 Put me in front of a firing squad.

Speaker 1 You had your chance. You could have pushed me out of the way and got sliced by that fucking subway door.

Speaker 1 We were, I said this before, we were happy to get you away from skyscrapers and get you back in the

Speaker 1 smaller LA,

Speaker 1 much shorter L.A.

Speaker 1 I lost track because you said you to die.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I missed the setup.

Speaker 2 Oh, no, I just said, like, you're talking about five years.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, five years ago. Got it.
Got it. Got it.
Got it. Wild.

Speaker 1 He can get set up pretty easy, just so you know.

Speaker 1 I went down for my birthday, saw my first movie in theaters because I rented out the whole theater and we saw a tenant, me and a bunch of Quincy guys. It was like six Quincy guys.

Speaker 1 Wu was there. Yeah.
Wu-Tang, Dano, Micah, Scoop. There was a good group of us.
Yeah, these are all my friends. Yeah.
They're all New England guys. Uh, that's why their names are all fucked up.
Got it.

Speaker 1 And then Chankton, Frailbot. Jankton.
I don't know. Was Jankton there? I don't know.
I don't think he was.

Speaker 2 I'm just trying to list the other New England.

Speaker 1 Frailbot, I think, was there. Frailbot was there.
Okay. I think he was.
Wait, I forget where you're from. I'm from Mass.
I'm from Quincy Mass. Okay, okay.
So we drove down to

Speaker 1 New Haven. Okay.

Speaker 1 And that is, so there's Sally's, a piece,

Speaker 1 and there's

Speaker 1 Pepe's. And did you go to all of those growing up? No.
No. No.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. All that set up.
And you didn't go to them. No, because it was like, you know, I feel like people ask me this all the time.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, I never, I think, went to, I've only ever been to one of them. And I don't even remember which one.
It was just kind of like, all the pizza is good. So we just had one on our street.

Speaker 1 That's we would just go there. It's like, why would we go? Yeah, right.
Why would we go to that? Why bother? I don't think I even knew about them. Yeah.
Yeah. It was kind of like, we'll just go there.

Speaker 1 Did you live in New York ever? You were a New York person. Did you have a favorite pizza spot in New York or no? There was literally a place called Best Pizza, and it was the best pizza.

Speaker 1 I don't know if it's still there, but it was really good. I like the name.
Oh, and then there was this place called Archie's that

Speaker 1 would do the kind of like

Speaker 1 when they cut it square, which I like.

Speaker 1 They cut it big square. Sicilian or like Detroit style or whatever.
Yeah, I don't know. It wasn't like necessarily Sicilian.
It's just kind of like a different shape.

Speaker 1 And then sometimes you get the piece where it's just, there's no crust. And that's so fun.
I like the no crust slice.

Speaker 1 A lot of cheese. I don't think Archie's is still there, but I like that.
Oh, and then there was this place. I don't know if it's still there, also, Daddy Greens.
Okay.

Speaker 1 They had like a sesame seed crust. Ooh, love that.

Speaker 1 I like that a lot. Yeah.
I like a little sesame. I like that on, especially on the sandwich.
I like a little sesame seed roll. Roe.
Yeah, a little sesame seed roe.

Speaker 1 Give me a piece of row with sesame seed all over it.

Speaker 2 Where are you on Roe? I find

Speaker 2 I'm okay with it. I'm never looking forward to it.
Like, you know,

Speaker 2 I feel like you'll see it a lot of times like one of those ornate sushi rolls. I'll have some Roe dusted on top of it.
It's It's like this is Unkopachka. I don't need this, you know.

Speaker 2 And Roe in isolation, I don't know. I could do it, but I'm like, I'm never going to order like a fucking caviar service or whatever the fuck.

Speaker 1 Give me a big bowl of Roe. Really? Give me the Roe.
I like Roe. Ro, Roe, Roe, me boat.

Speaker 1 I had no pun for that. I thought you did it.
I did it. Yeah, it works.
Yeah, Ro, Ro, Ro, me, Boat. That was it, yeah.
I think that worked.

Speaker 2 Where's the Deus on Roe?

Speaker 1 I'm a Rojo for sure.

Speaker 1 Look at it. The Roho is pretty good.
The Deus comes in with a better fucking

Speaker 1 for me. You don't love it.
Yeah. I'm not a Rojo.
I don't love it that much. If it's on something, I will be okay with it.

Speaker 1 But if it's the dominating thing, that's just the texture, the like popping in my mouth, it doesn't work for me. I also think sometimes I get a little existential.
Yeah. Yeah, I get that.

Speaker 1 You say existential? Hey, I didn't, actually.

Speaker 1 That's really good.

Speaker 1 You're like, I do not want you to think, I don't want the listeners to think I said. I would never make a pun like that.

Speaker 1 No, I don't know. You just look at it and you're like, oh, God, like, that's, that's a lot of little guys.
It's a lot of little, it is a lot of little eggs. Yeah.
Yeah. It's a lot of eggs.

Speaker 1 And I like eggs. Yeah.
But it's kind of just salt. It's just a little salty flavor.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah. But it is like that.
I get what you're saying because you feel like an inhaler of souls.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's like these are those are they're empty eggs.

Speaker 2 But but it's still

Speaker 1 they're not fertilized, are they? I guess they're not fertilized. No, but they could have been.
I don't know if they are not. They could have been.
Yeah. That's like if you catch up Louis C.
K.

Speaker 1 and I are

Speaker 1 I think that we are soon we're gonna run into fish shortage, I'm sure. Yeah, so why are we eating the eggs? So we should not be eating the eggs.

Speaker 1 It's like lobster fishermen have to throw lobsters back if they have eggs. That's true.
Little red-headed fishes coming out.

Speaker 1 I like, yeah, I also don't like like

Speaker 1 if they're, you think some of them might be inseminated inseminated. Maybe potentially.
They could have been. Maybe maybe they are dude

Speaker 1 fish sperm dude

Speaker 1 dude that that all of that stuff all stuff like that kind of like uh

Speaker 1 i i don't know how i feel about like

Speaker 1 i guess with chickens i don't care it's maybe the only thing i don't care about but anything else that comes from uh

Speaker 1 from an orifice yeah

Speaker 1 but chickens i'm also kind of like how many are you eating yeah one one at a time yeah yeah yeah with that it's really like so many little eggs well not one at a time.

Speaker 1 You're eating, you know, two eggs. I'll go one at a time.

Speaker 1 You one egg at a time, even with a scramble or something? Yeah, sometimes the texture, I can't really, I can't really do more than one at a time. Okay, all right.

Speaker 2 I'll like a two, I'll do like a two. You know, I'll make an omelette at home.
I'll do like a two-egg omelette. I guess if you go out, it's usually three, you know?

Speaker 2 I'll do it, but like, but like a hard-boiled egg, I'll eat one hard-boiled egg sometimes. Why not?

Speaker 1 Man versus food, they did a 12-egg omelette challenge.

Speaker 2 I hate that. That's fucking disgusting.

Speaker 1 A lot of eggs. I don't eat that many eggs.
Someone said to me recently, and it actually was like, oh, whoa, okay.

Speaker 1 Was they said that I have sensory issues? Oh, interesting. And I said, that makes so much sense.

Speaker 2 Do you have mesophonia?

Speaker 1 Which we keep hearing is real. Which is that?

Speaker 2 It's like if someone, if you like, like you hear a chewing or slurping sounds or something like that.

Speaker 1 Someone on the Reddit got mad at us, and I had to be like, we're joking when we're making fun of it. Someone on the Reddit got mad at us.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 2 Send me that comment. I want to read it.

Speaker 1 Probably has some useful feedback. Hey, you want to read the Reddit, the head gum Reddit Reddit comments.

Speaker 1 What are they saying? They're mad. They're upset.
You know what? You know what? The Reddit is good in that regard.

Speaker 1 They're upset.

Speaker 2 They're justifiably righteous about people losing their jobs.

Speaker 1 And some of them are like spot on with stuff, and then some of them are so far off, it's insane. And it's a nice combination to be like, whoa, does that person work here?

Speaker 1 And then other people who I'm like, you're on it, they're from busy. You're on a different wild theory you just concocted out of thin air.
Eggs, innards, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 I'm not like what you're saying. Yeah, awful.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 And what's turds, yeah, turds. I don't, I definitely don't like to eat a turd, like an intestine, yeah, intestines.

Speaker 1 What is that, piss? Yeah, no, I'm not huge. I don't love, I don't love piss.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll do it if I have to.

Speaker 1 it on the house.

Speaker 1 Oh my god. Yeah, yeah, here's like, yeah, it's like, like, I guess

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, marshmallow on the outside. With the butterfinger in the middle.
Butterfinger in the middle. Huh.

Speaker 1 Well, this I'll have to try.

Speaker 1 I do love the innovation, the candy innovations. Anytime Rhys has got something new,

Speaker 1 I would love to try what they're up to.

Speaker 1 Big Cup was a really good one. Big cup's fun.
Huge, huge. Um, do they still do the fast break? That was a fabulous.

Speaker 2 They do have that, and they've had some new, like, yeah, I can't.

Speaker 1 I like fat. Oh, I like take fives.

Speaker 2 Yeah, they do have, but they've had some more like pretzels inside candy.

Speaker 1 That's a take five. It's always fun.
Yeah. Yeah.
Can I be honest with you, please? Speaking of big white turds,

Speaker 2 I have to go to the bathroom. Oh, boy.
Might be time for a bathroom breakdown.

Speaker 1 Bathroom breakdown. I'm sorry.
We haven't done this in a while. You don't know what it is.
I'm embarrassed.

Speaker 1 You did tell me.

Speaker 2 Yeah, she got briefed on the possibility of that.

Speaker 1 I thought I was going to have to. Well, I do have to.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Bathroom breakdown.

Speaker 1 The diarrhea break.

Speaker 2 All right. We're back from the bathroom breakdown.
What's the damage, my man?

Speaker 1 You know, a successful bathroom breakdown. Oh, there you go.
Okay.

Speaker 1 I know. I was happy.

Speaker 1 I've been off Zepbomb for two weeks because I got food poisoning. Oh, no.
And then

Speaker 1 I was like, by the time the second week rolled around, I was like, I don't really know about this. And

Speaker 1 it was my birthday, and also we were going to New York. And I was like, I might just sneak this one more week.
And I did. And I probably gained 10 pounds in New York.

Speaker 1 We had some great food in New York-wise. Do you want to hear what I listened to in the bathroom? We do this as well.
Yeah, please.

Speaker 1 As I Lay Me Down by Sophie B. Hawkins.
Okay. Do you know that at all? Not really.
The one that goes,

Speaker 1 ooh,

Speaker 1 oh, okay.

Speaker 1 As I lay

Speaker 1 me down to sleep.

Speaker 1 And I will be there.

Speaker 1 No one knows that. Did you pick that? Like, you were like, I'm going to start here, or did your phone kind of like it? I shuffled it.
I shuffled it.

Speaker 1 How long can I play before we get DCMA?

Speaker 2 Don't, don't do it. Don't play any of it.
Zero?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Fuck.
All right.

Speaker 1 Can you play a song on a podcast? Oola la la. There we go.
I got the right. Or do you notice?

Speaker 1 Oola la low. Do you know that?

Speaker 1 I probably have heard it.

Speaker 1 I probably have heard it. Do you not know it?

Speaker 1 You can play it, and I'll just fast-forward through it.

Speaker 1 You guys don't know this one?

Speaker 1 But it's nice.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's nice. It's a nice song.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's a bop.
It is a bop.

Speaker 1 It is a bop. Classic bop.
And some Warren's Yvonne Splendid Isolation. I believe the song is.
But successful. I ate too much in New York wise.
I know you did too, but I want to give a shout out.

Speaker 1 We really. Oh, shit.
The Jemmy cam. Oh, it's okay.
I got it. Fuck.
I got you. There we go.
You get repositioned in it.

Speaker 1 Hamburger America. We had one.

Speaker 2 We had a great. Look, here's the thing.
I've been hearing all this hype from the New Yorkers about Hamburger America. You got to try out Hamburger America.
You know, Hamburger America?

Speaker 2 You see how much time in New York? I don't know how recent this concept came about, but there's been a lot of buzz about it. It went there.

Speaker 2 Look, I'm a bit of a, first off, anyone, anytime anyone's like, this place is the best. I'm like, try to measure my expectations.
The buzz was strong. The buzz was strong.

Speaker 2 And then also, you know, I'm not the biggest Smash Burger guy, but I go in there and let me tell you, those burgers were hitting. They're good as hell.

Speaker 2 Hamburger America absolutely lived up to the hype. I wish I could have gone back.

Speaker 1 And it was like different enough that I'm like, oh, we don't really have this in LA.

Speaker 2 Yeah, we don't have the equivalent of a Hamburger America.

Speaker 1 It's a nice little classic, like burger. I mean, like, we do have those sorts of things, but not this exact concept.
Not the exact sort of thing. I mean, like,

Speaker 1 will they turn it into a shake shack and it will be, you know, we'll have some shitty version of it in like, you know, 10 years. It's a possibility.

Speaker 2 Well, hopefully they won't, they won't, you know, make it more, feel more generic and overexpanded.

Speaker 1 Can't a place just be a place anymore? Do we all

Speaker 2 place just be a place?

Speaker 1 Do we all have to, does everything have to, Doughboys, Doughboys Media isn't trying to be,

Speaker 1 well, we should maybe, though, make a restaurant.

Speaker 2 We should maybe do a streaming service or something. It'd be smart.

Speaker 1 Streaming service would be really

Speaker 1 good. Probably an AI.

Speaker 2 AI restaurant streaming service.

Speaker 1 AI restaurant streaming service. I think it's a way to go.

Speaker 1 But places should just be places. I went to a few other places.
I went to Keene. I went back to Keene's Steakhouse.
We went to Old Commonwealth for steak dinner.

Speaker 1 Old Homestead. Yeah, that was like

Speaker 1 Old Wolf was the bar we went to in Brooklyn.

Speaker 2 That was a lovely time at Commonwealth. That was a great hang.

Speaker 1 Old Homestead, we went to for a steak restaurant.

Speaker 1 I went to Keene's. I got Mamas too.

Speaker 1 I did some damage.

Speaker 1 I did Mamas 2.

Speaker 1 I did Lindestry Wigs. Wow.
I did Ruby Rosa with Zach Cherry and

Speaker 1 Griff. And Josh Frankl came with me.
We did the other two. We did a little pizza tour.
But you can find all of it on some new Patreon thing we're doing. It will be on Patreon in a week or so.

Speaker 1 This wasn't even meant to be a plug, but that's where it will be. Yeah.
You know what I mean? I just did POV Jemmy footage, I think. Wow.
That's right. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 With my dad once, I got him this donut map of New York, and then we biked all around to different donut places and ate a bunch of donuts. That's so fun.

Speaker 1 But, you know, the issue was there was really only so much we could have. After about two, it was like,

Speaker 1 This is my issue when I went and saw Tenet with my friends in Connecticut.

Speaker 1 We did like three pizza places, and on the third one, we're like, we're all sick. Right.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And same, we, I did a New York pizza tour with those same guys probably within that year.
I think maybe that following spring or something like that.

Speaker 1 And why we should give a shout out to Marika's friend who brought us barbecue at the George Lucas Talk Show. That's right.
Which we did.

Speaker 2 Noah from Bowie's Barbecue. That's right.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Noah. That's a

Speaker 1 pop-up in Brooklyn. It was fantastic.

Speaker 2 Lovely cue. Also, should shout out Stuart Wellington

Speaker 2 who hosted us over at the Commonwealth. Lovely to see him in person.

Speaker 1 Wow, Wellington, a great food last name.

Speaker 2 That is a great food last name.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 None of us have food last names. No one here.
I'm actually.

Speaker 1 Really? Yeah.

Speaker 1 There's a vineyard, Hoenig Vineyards, that makes wine, too. It's one of my favorites.
Yeah, it means honey. Oh, okay.
Yeah. Pretty good.
And also, I'm going to say, Sandy is kind of like a

Speaker 2 pecan Sandy, exactly. Do you like a pecan Sandy? Yeah,

Speaker 1 or even just a sandwich.

Speaker 2 You could say it's like a sando.

Speaker 1 I guess you'd say Sammy. I guess you're saying.
How do you feel when people say Sando? I'll say it. He says it.
I'll correct you.

Speaker 1 Can I answer? I don't. I don't.

Speaker 1 Oh, also, yes, please don't say fuck.

Speaker 1 Please don't say fuck immediately.

Speaker 1 I don't, I don't like like Sando. I don't like Sando.
He says Sando. I don't like it.
I'll toss it out there.

Speaker 2 It's not my go-to, but, you know, there are times when you want to mix up the verbiage.

Speaker 1 I don't even like Sammy. I think I like Sando.
I don't like Sammy either.

Speaker 1 I don't really like getting cute with it. Handheld?

Speaker 2 What do you feel about handheld?

Speaker 1 I like that because

Speaker 1 it makes you sound like a dork, which is fitting in many ways. Right, right, right.
So I like you saying handheld. Handheld.

Speaker 1 I understand on a menu why they might say that because it might encapsulate sandwiches, wraps, et cetera. burgers.
You know, you're not going to put everything necessarily under the same heading. Yes.

Speaker 1 But I wouldn't want to hear it. I would only want to see it.

Speaker 1 How would you feel about this? Bread Boys, if that was the, if that was the, uh, the, the title? Would you be okay with bread boys? Bread boys, meaning sandwich. That's what sandwich is.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, no.

Speaker 1 I mean, I'm not, I'm not like mad at it. I'm just not like.
Do you like it better than Sammy's? Yeah. Than Sando's.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Do you you like it better than Doughboys?

Speaker 1 No. Oh.

Speaker 1 So, Doughboys, you would like the most. If we had that.
That would be fun. Okay.
Okay. Okay.

Speaker 2 They put Doughboys on a menu as a heading. Feel free.

Speaker 1 We might. Well, hey, if we start a restaurant.
AI Restaurant Streaming Service. AI Restaurant

Speaker 1 slash streaming service.

Speaker 1 Well, maybe, maybe we will.

Speaker 1 Yeah, maybe we will. We might do that.

Speaker 2 That real idea.

Speaker 1 I went to a movie theater

Speaker 1 in New York, in in Times Square, and it was insane. It was

Speaker 2 a theater.

Speaker 1 It was an AMC in Times Square. Yeah, what did you see?

Speaker 1 I saw The Long Walk. Oh, wow.

Speaker 1 It was an insane experience. Was that movie good? I kind of liked it.
Totally. And you know what I like about it? They do deal with shitting quite a bit.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 2 That's good. There's, I mean, that's the thing.
And I've read the source. I've not seen the movie.

Speaker 1 You've read. You've read.
Oh, right. You did a

Speaker 2 Stephen King one. I read a bunch of Stephen King books in publication order, along with the Great Just King Things podcast.
But yeah, they do take the guy does take a fucking shit in that book.

Speaker 1 There's multiple shit moments in the movie. You know, that's the kind of movie where I'm kind of just like,

Speaker 1 no offense, like, it just seems like really intense. And I'm not really trying to watch that.

Speaker 1 That's 100% fair. I get it.
Like, it's kind of just like they have to walk or they get shot and their feet hurt. Yes.
Yeah, that's too much.

Speaker 1 They can't stop walking and their shoes are falling off and their knees are bending. I'm sort of like, where's the fun at all? There is no, there is, you're, you know what, you're right.

Speaker 1 There is no real fun in that. I mean, I am against a thing where you have to walk a bunch in general.
I don't like that. It's also the plot of speed, but walking.

Speaker 1 It is the plot of speed, but walking.

Speaker 1 I will say that that is actually really, really good. Yeah, and when did Stephen King write it? After he saw speed.
I mean,

Speaker 1 in the forward to the book, he does it. I just saw a great movie last night.

Speaker 1 Speed. He doesn't even try to hide it.
He says, I saw Speed last night.

Speaker 2 Yeah, dedicated to Keanu and Sandra.

Speaker 1 No, you did, dude. Fabulous movie.

Speaker 2 Rest in Power Dennis Hopper.

Speaker 1 Fabulous film. Hey, Rest in Power, Dennis.
I agree with that. Rest in Popper.
Rest in Peace.

Speaker 1 Rest in Hopper. Rest in Hopper.
Rest in Popper, Dennis Hopper.

Speaker 1 Speed is a great movie.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Can I say this?

Speaker 1 I'd fucking crush the long walk.

Speaker 2 I'd do so good in the long walk.

Speaker 1 They would get shot in the 300 miles. I would too.

Speaker 2 I'd do so good.

Speaker 1 I already used this joke, but I was saying, I said this on a future Stoppy's World that the starter gun would just be the guy who would shoot me instead of

Speaker 1 I would not do well at all. Yeah.
I don't know. Like, it kind of just seems like from the moment it starts, it seems like no fun at all, that movie.
Sure.

Speaker 1 Even if they win the walk,

Speaker 1 they saw everybody die.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you know, going in a bunch of people, there's going to be a high body count.

Speaker 1 This is just based on the premise.

Speaker 1 If it didn't really happen, why are we imagining this?

Speaker 1 Why don't you want me to think about that? Also, the speed is like way too fast.

Speaker 1 In the movie, it's three miles per hour, but I think in the book, it's like almost four miles per hour.

Speaker 1 And that's what I can never get that fast. I would never, you think you would cry.
You're insane.

Speaker 2 I can walk three miles an hour is a very long time.

Speaker 1 Okay, but even if you, so if it was the movie speed, you think you could do it. This was a little bit also how I felt about, did you guys see The brutalist? Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I went with my friend and her takeaway was she thought it was real, like what happened in the movie. And then I was like, that wasn't real.

Speaker 1 And she was like, then why did all that stuff and bad stuff happen?

Speaker 1 That's, I loved the first half of the brutalist. It was funny.
Because people were like.

Speaker 1 Like, I got text from, from, I won't say who's, who said it because I don't want to out people who didn't like the movie, but I got text from someone who's like it. Who was like, all right,

Speaker 1 this other person didn't like either, but I got a text from someone close to the show. I'll say that much.
It was Susser.

Speaker 1 And Susser texted me and it was like, he was at like a premiere of it or something. And was like, I'm at, I'm halfway through the Brutus.
This is the best movie of the year. I love it.

Speaker 1 And then afterwards, I was like, so how? And he was like, man, I was like, the second half of the movie is that bad. And then when I went and saw it, I was like, the first half of this movie is great.

Speaker 1 I can't dislike this movie. And then the second half, I did dislike so much.

Speaker 2 Same thing happened to us. We were like, so we were there, we were buzzing at the intermission, like, holy shit.
Gabriers is there.

Speaker 1 we were talking with him and it's just like like this is fucking this this is this is this movie is incredible yeah and then i think on christmas day we went and then the second half was just like oh boy this got i mean i still like the movie overall but it's just uh it kind of kind of there's some stuff in that second half you know some swerves there's some swerves yeah the other thing my friend said that was really funny shout out ava is she said um

Speaker 1 well if it wasn't real why was the building so ugly

Speaker 1 why wouldn't they make it like a good looking building

Speaker 2 It is kind of funny to make this sprawling biopic about just like a fake guy.

Speaker 1 No, a fake guy, and all this like really bad stuff happening in a way where it's like, but if that, why did you, why would you want that to happen to him? He needs a little editor.

Speaker 1 He needs someone to snip that thing down. And also, the most famous brutalist building is the McDonald's across the street from North Quincy High School, as you know, this.
My McDonald's.

Speaker 1 My McDonald's is in a brutalist building. That's beautiful.
It's the brutalist McDonald's. It's pretty famous.
Where are you at McDonald's?

Speaker 1 I love the ice cream ice cream's very good i love the ice cream it does make my stomach hurt but i love it sure yeah i don't eat um red meat okay yeah fair how long has that been the case most of my life most of your life okay i was veg up like total veg until a few years ago and then my holdouts are red meat pork and then like i'm just like weird about

Speaker 2 shellfish Do you not like it or do you just feel weird about like what was the what's the uh shellfish take?

Speaker 1 It's really like no rhyme or reason. Some things I'll I'll try, like some things I just am like, which then makes sense with the sensory as well.
But I'm also just sort of like,

Speaker 1 yeah, shrimp. Not into shrimp.
You're talking to the wrong crowd here.

Speaker 1 I don't know. Meals?

Speaker 1 I love fish. I don't know what it is.
It's like, I'm just weird about it.

Speaker 2 I love shellfish. I love, I love, you know, like oysters.
I'll take them any way you got them. But I totally understand people having aversions there.

Speaker 1 I was really brave recently. Wow.
And my friends ordered some clams. Fun.
And I said, I'm going to try one. And I took a little bit of it.

Speaker 1 And I was like, wait, that was like so good and so different from what I thought. And then I went to eat more and I was like, I think I had just eaten the onion.

Speaker 1 I tasted the onion and the onion was so good. And then I had the clam.
I said, that was what I thought.

Speaker 1 It was actually what I thought. Clams can be, I mean, I like a clam and a clam chowder.
That's a good way to get used to it. Hey, sweetie and a soup.
That's true.

Speaker 1 But no, not for you.

Speaker 1 Because you won't, it's mostly potato and then you get a little bit of clam, but it's like in this creamy

Speaker 1 broth. Not some shrimps.

Speaker 2 Not in shrimps.

Speaker 1 Not into shrimps. No, they just, I don't like what they are up to.

Speaker 1 They look weird. They smell weird.
The poop's in it. Like, I'm just sort of like,

Speaker 1 I don't know about it. The poop trail is never fun.
You got to clean out the, you got to clean out his butt a little bit. You got to wipe.
You basically got it.

Speaker 1 It's basically like wiping the little guy out and then eating him, which is deveining, they call the process yeah yeah just kind of gross yeah i don't know something about it's just off for me i don't mind it i come from you know a new england family so like my uh my grandpa used to eat what is it what is the green stuff in lobster called oh there's a name for it and i forget what it's called

Speaker 1 yeah the lobster barf

Speaker 1 uh but it's it has like a weird like it's a two word like a tamale yeah tamale that's what i was gonna say it's a food i knew it was another food tamale It's a green paste-like substance that is the animal's pancreas and liver.

Speaker 1 Wow. My grandpa used to just eat that tamale.
He would eat the whole thing. He would eat it all.
And it does look like barf.

Speaker 1 And, like, but you know, New England people, you know, they were raised on that bullshit.

Speaker 1 I'm New England as well, but

Speaker 1 New England Jewish. So they're.
But if we were to.

Speaker 1 Did you celebrate Christmas at all as well or no? No. Okay.
Yeah. I didn't know that people thought Santa was real.
I thought it was all a big joke. Wow.
And people were like, oh,

Speaker 1 Santa's coming. I was like, oh, woohoo.

Speaker 1 Let me tell you, he is real.

Speaker 1 Wax was looking at me.

Speaker 1 I meant Mitch.

Speaker 2 Eagle-eyed listeners. Or I'm sorry, eagle-eyed viewers.

Speaker 2 Moth.

Speaker 1 Oh, ho, ho,

Speaker 1 ho, hungry.

Speaker 1 What's that? What was that? Great wax moth. Great wax moth

Speaker 2 listeners. Eared listeners.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. If you could tell Tiger Moth looking at the listeners.

Speaker 1 I thought Santa was real for far too long. Yes.
I had that combo with my mom on the couch where she told me the Christmas spirit is real.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's sweet.

Speaker 1 It was one of my Quincy sabbaticals from L.A.

Speaker 1 It was recent.

Speaker 1 A couple months ago. But the big, big, big, yeah, yeah, a couple of years ago.
But a big seafood, Christmas, a big seafood in New England. I feel like I always have said.

Speaker 1 But can I just get back to something? Yeah, please.

Speaker 1 You think you would do well at the long walk?

Speaker 2 Fucking crush the long.

Speaker 1 You would not. I'm routinely clumsy.

Speaker 2 I'm routinely getting 12,000 steps a day.

Speaker 1 Not in those flip-flops. Yeah, I'm not I'm not going to worry about penny flops.

Speaker 1 Penny, that pedicure is going to get torn up.

Speaker 1 I get some proper hokas or new balances or something. They walk for like the equivalent of five days.

Speaker 2 I guess they're also, it's also like a young man's game.

Speaker 1 And it's at gunpoint. Yeah.
Yeah. And being a gunpoint point.
Which honestly,

Speaker 1 I mean, if it was like a carrot where like the gun was floating in front of him, you would be, you would do great. He wants to eat that.

Speaker 1 He's trying to get the gun in his mouth.

Speaker 1 So I feel like you would do really bad a long walk because I think you would immediately start walking the other way and get your warnings and try to keep it. Yeah, sure.

Speaker 1 You try to get gun off immediately. But I like walking that hard.

Speaker 2 I think I try to keep it going.

Speaker 1 How long do you think you could do? This is real. Three miles per hour.
How long do the fuck? This includes like having to shit. And if think of it as a scenario where the long walk is real.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 What happens in the movie if they have to shit? They're not allowed.

Speaker 1 Well, I'm gonna the little spoiler alert. They pull down their pants and they shit and some of them while they're walking.
Well, and some of them, some of them squat and they gotta do it quick.

Speaker 1 And some of them, it is truly a nightmare. Stressful for

Speaker 1 stressful for absolutely no reason. Not real.
Didn't happen. Do you like that less than Chucky? Like, as far as horror movies, I didn't see that.

Speaker 1 Like, but like, it's like, are you, are you more into like a ghostly doll? Or no. You would, would you rather have the stress or you just neither at some point?

Speaker 1 Honestly, like, I'm not really rocking with, I'm just like, I don't need that. There's already so many like bad scenarios going on in my head at all times.

Speaker 1 Like, I don't really need to like see, see you some.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, I get that. I get that completely.
I don't like things this earlier when you asked me about scary movies. I don't like when things kind of like jump out.
Sure. That I'm not really into.

Speaker 1 Yeah. But I could do something that's a little more psychological scary.

Speaker 2 I do like that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But even weapons, I did get a little like had to hide my

Speaker 1 sure. There's some scares.

Speaker 1 There's some scares in weapons. Yeah.
No doubt. Yeah.
Well, this, this is more psychological scare. It's not even really scary.
It's just as stressful.

Speaker 1 And I don't think that you would last for how long do you think you could go?

Speaker 2 I mean,

Speaker 2 I've done a half marathon i've done a marathon three miles per hour yeah i could walk i could absolutely walk a marathon three okay so because if you go under three miles per hour or if you like trip up or stop or whatever they get you a warning i'd be so that i would probably get a warning because i probably i probably would trip you're right and then i would have to piss and or shit but i'm also like why not just shit my pants you could turn around could you turn around and piss at three miles per hour i guess walk the shit for five days no

Speaker 2 That's a good point. So that might be the case against shitting your pants.

Speaker 1 Marathoners do that, though.

Speaker 1 There are marathoners that will like wear diapers so they don't have to stop and go to the bathroom yeah now i don't remember in this premise if they know they're walking that long they they are they're i don't know how that why'd they sign up for that

Speaker 1 they they they they're it's it's look it's a dystopian

Speaker 1 it's a dystopian it's dystopian they have to they have to do it they have to they actually do sign up for it uh but i

Speaker 1 Marathoners shit their pants. So there is that.

Speaker 2 There's a precedent for shitting your pants during a race.

Speaker 1 I watched the Boston Marathon. I shit my pants once.
So that's how it goes. But would you, would you be?

Speaker 1 You could technically take your pants down and shit and then keep walking. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I would, I would, first off, I would like, having done these sorts of races before, I would be like, I'm going to get up early, get in my AM BM so I don't have to shit on the course. Sure.

Speaker 2 So I'm just going to keep going. And then also.

Speaker 1 You would need food at some point.

Speaker 1 I would need food at some point. How long do you think you would last? That's what I need out of you.

Speaker 2 I could walk 50 miles at three miles an hour.

Speaker 1 Absolutely. So this is pretty pretty confident.
So, you'd be going like 50 miles, three miles per hour. We're talking about

Speaker 1 over, you know, like I mean, they go for like 300. Yeah, I bet I could do it.
They go, they go much longer than that. Yeah, so you wouldn't crush it, you would but I do, but I do pretty good.

Speaker 1 You do pretty good, yeah, yeah, you wouldn't get shot right away, yeah.

Speaker 2 I'd survive a little bit.

Speaker 1 You die in the first act of the movie, basically. Okay, well, then, still, yeah, that's not like I'm a named character in the credits.
That's true, that is true. That's something, yeah.

Speaker 1 You probably have like a meaningful conversation with one of them

Speaker 1 Do it for

Speaker 1 me.

Speaker 1 Well, you're probably the one where it's like it really hits home for them. Yeah, yeah.
Because you've been with them for

Speaker 1 50 miles.

Speaker 2 You've walked with them the whole time.

Speaker 1 And then like now, and all of a sudden it's like, whoa, we did not think they would kill off that character.

Speaker 1 I can't wait to finish the long walk together with you.

Speaker 1 16 hours. It wouldn't be like that long.
I walked away.

Speaker 1 Could you walk backwards and piss? Because some people, that's a guy walks walks backwards and pisses. Could you do that at three miles per hour? Well, I guess I would just do it forward.

Speaker 1 Well, I wouldn't do it forward, yeah.

Speaker 1 Right. Backwards, then you're not stepping on it.
Yeah, you're not stepping on it. It's not blowing back at you if there's wind or whatever.

Speaker 2 Oh, I guess the wind would be an issue. I think I just, I think.

Speaker 1 What if the wind goes the other way?

Speaker 2 If the wind's going the other way, then you're golden.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 In a sense.

Speaker 2 I would just take my hog out and just go in the direction I'm walking, I think. I don't think I try to get too cute spinning her out.

Speaker 1 Do women walk it? Or is it just boys? No.

Speaker 1 Well, this really is dystopian.

Speaker 1 No girls on the long walk. There are no women that joined the race for whatever reason.
I don't know if the book is different. I think it's all dudes.
Now, you know what movie I want to see?

Speaker 1 Roofman. Oh,

Speaker 1 I thought you were going to say like the girl Ghostbusters version of The Long Walk. Oh, yeah.
The little skip.

Speaker 1 The Long Walk answer to the call is what you were interested in.

Speaker 1 The roofman you want to see. I want to see roofman.

Speaker 1 I don't want to see it,

Speaker 1 but I will see roofman. I think it looks like a blast.
I like what's his name who's in it. I love him.
And I like her too. It's cursed.
Who does.

Speaker 1 I like what's his face, and I like her, too.

Speaker 1 What is his face? What's his face? Shanning Tatum. Shanning Tatum.
I like Tatum. He's all right.
Dinklage in that.

Speaker 1 The Tinklage is in it. I think so.
All right. I think it looks like a blast.

Speaker 2 I like the title Roof Man. Reminds me of one of Mega Man's enemies, one of Dr.
Wiley's robot masters.

Speaker 1 It sounds like Dr. Wiley is running out of ideas.

Speaker 1 Roofman. All right.

Speaker 2 Like Pharaoh Man by Mega Man 4. So, yeah,

Speaker 2 he was on fumes for a while.

Speaker 1 Yeah, poor Dr. Wiley.

Speaker 1 He needs some sort of ⁇ he needs an intern. He's a kick in the pants.

Speaker 2 Okay, we're in the midst of

Speaker 1 Mega Man talk. We got to get into super.

Speaker 2 We're in the midst of Croc Dough Burnfa S 2025. Actually, this is the conclusion of this very month, the super size month of bisques, broths, stews, and stocks and Crocs.

Speaker 1 What do you think would

Speaker 1 be the gun that would kill Soupman quicker? You know what I'm saying? This is the thing with the Mega Man.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so you accumulate the weapons.

Speaker 2 Are you a gamer?

Speaker 1 This is gamer talk. This is gamer talk.
This is gamer talk. Okay.

Speaker 2 You accumulate a series of weapons. So let's say you dispatched it.

Speaker 1 And the ice gun, like for Fireman,

Speaker 1 it's like ice gun works really well on Fireman. Uh-huh.
Yeah, so that's like what.

Speaker 2 But I think your pitch of like, like, specifically, I think you can have ice cubes and soup.

Speaker 1 So, like, if you're an ice cube, man, I think you. What about the bread gun? Would bread gun work? Bread gun would work, yeah.
Yeah, because it sops up soup or something.

Speaker 2 I think that's a that's an option. Spoon man.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Hey, spoon man.

Speaker 1 I think it's spoon man. I think spoon man would work well.
Yeah. That's what kills spoon man.

Speaker 1 Uh, diet and exercise.

Speaker 1 Diet and exercise gun.

Speaker 1 Uh,

Speaker 1 we're in, we're in soup mod.

Speaker 2 We're in in the midst of croc do-burn faest 2025.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we're making fun of Dr. Wiley for running out of ideas.
We're in Croc Do Burn Foest. I think it's pretty good.
Fa Est. Croc Do Burn Fa Est.
Okay.

Speaker 2 I think it's a pretty good portmanteau.

Speaker 2 Where are you on soup? Where does it rank in your hierarchy of foods?

Speaker 1 Love.

Speaker 1 Juliana.

Speaker 1 You might be the only person that loves soup. I love soup.
Absolutely love it. Yes.
Most days lately, I've been beginning the day bone broth. That's fun.

Speaker 1 That's a fun thing to to do.

Speaker 2 You know what?

Speaker 1 We're saying we're in soup season, but we're also fuck. We've been saying we're in spooky season, but we're also in soup season.
We're really entering soup season right now.

Speaker 2 So I'm going to just want to chop out the first miscue and just keep in the second part of what Mitch said. So, okay.

Speaker 1 I did a great second take.

Speaker 1 All right, baby. You were really mad.

Speaker 1 I was. Oh, yeah.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 you can cut all that out. Where I screamed at the deus and everything.

Speaker 1 Spooky, spooky season.

Speaker 1 Suppie season. It's soupy season.
It is.

Speaker 2 It's spooky season. It's soupy season.

Speaker 1 It is soupy season. It's just spooky season.
It's soupy season. It's not just spooky season.
It's soupy season.

Speaker 2 It is. That is fun about fall, though.
You get to have some more soups. You get to enjoy those, you know, those various.

Speaker 2 Bone broth in the morning is fun.

Speaker 2 One thing I will say is that it's a great way to get your macros. A very nutritious meal, not too heavy.

Speaker 1 Sorry. Go on.

Speaker 1 You can go first, but I just.

Speaker 2 I was just going to say one thing I like about soups, and we haven't dug in enough is there's different textures or different viscosities. You'll get like a thin soup, and that's fun.

Speaker 2 You'll get a thicker soup, and that's fun, too.

Speaker 1 I actually regret letting you say what you were going to say because it sucked.

Speaker 1 What are we talking about? The viscosity level? The viscosity. Oh, I get it.
It's a real factor. All right, now listen to me.
Yeah. You got bread bowls.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Pumpkin bowls for soups.

Speaker 1 Oh. Like a carved-out pumpkin? Like people put cheesy coconut pumpkin soup in it? Or like a squash.
You do a squash soup and a a pumpkin bowl. I love a pumpkin bowl.
A lot of soup. Or a squash bowl.

Speaker 1 You don't like it?

Speaker 2 I thought you would go a whole fucking pumpkin full of soup. I guess as a serving.

Speaker 1 You're thinking of a big couple. I'm getting mad because he said that he didn't like what you said.
And so you feel like you have to dislike what you said. That's exactly it.

Speaker 2 Don't high-five that.

Speaker 1 I've been watching a lot of couples therapy.

Speaker 1 We should go to couples therapy. We never have, but I'm saying a smaller pumpkin.
Yeah. There's the smaller guys, pumpkin bowl instead of a soup bowl.

Speaker 1 If you had a restaurant, Hey, it's the Los Angeles restaurant where you get soup in a pumpkin I guess if it's like a if it's a more modest sort of squash like like it's like I think something like that could work sure for an individual serving It's like when they when they put like sorbet lemon sorbet in a lemon That is fun.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 Is that economical? I wonder like could you get a bunch of individual gourds? Is that going to scale?

Speaker 1 Make the soup out of it.

Speaker 2 Okay, so you're using its guts and then you're serving it within its pumpkin soup, a squash soup. That's fun.

Speaker 1 And also, we'd be helping out the pumpkin and squash industries right now they're struggling right now you carve a pumpkin uh how you do you just fucking you stick the knife in the top but then how do you get all the shit out oh you scoop you scoop you scoop you can use a spoon too a big old spoon i remember doing that as a kid i'll say this it does suck and there will be someone in the back of the house doing that i feel like it would be bad yeah then also you get to toast the pumpkin seeds someone here likes those emma

Speaker 1 oh my god you all like girls like that stuff yeah girls do like that stuff girls really like that stuff mike and i had a whole debate once whether or not it was theft if you went to your neighbor's house and carved the bottom of their pumpkin and stole all their seeds and then left it there.

Speaker 1 Like a carved stuff. If they weren't going to use the seeds, why wouldn't that theft or not? Is that theft?

Speaker 2 But would they, like, like, if they're just leaving the pumpkin for display, they're not, they're not, they didn't carve a jack-o'-lantern.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I see. I think I wouldn't immediately think that my neighbors stole my seeds.
I wouldn't probably think a squirrel did it. I would do the same thing.
I would think it was an animal.

Speaker 1 I think it was perfectly carved out the bottom. He was like, whoops, steal all the seeds.
But now that I know girls like them,

Speaker 1 now I'm on the lookout. Girls like pumpkin seeds.

Speaker 2 You're on that well-butrend. You better stock up on pumpkin seeds.

Speaker 1 Put some girl traps around my pumpkins.

Speaker 1 Right. Girl traps.

Speaker 1 You go up in the middle of the night, and there's like seven girls.

Speaker 1 Gnawing at the bars.

Speaker 2 Bet you say stuff like that, you're going to end up on club random.

Speaker 1 Tell me about the girl traps, babe.

Speaker 1 I can't dove to a Bill Maher impression. It just sucks that he took the best podcast name.
I know. Like, that looks good.
That sucks.

Speaker 1 Club Random. It's really good.

Speaker 2 It's really fucking good. I wish we had it.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 He looks cool, too. He looks good as hell.
He looks straight.

Speaker 1 We can't all be Bill Maher. We can't all be Bill Maher.

Speaker 1 Well, someday we'll. Some of us try.
Some of us try. Some of us try.
We'll try to get there. Baked pumpkin seeds are a girl thing.

Speaker 1 I'm going to go out there and say it, even though though this sounds like

Speaker 1 maybe even worse than Club Random. This statement will get me on something even worse.
But it does seem like it seems like it seems like ladies do love baked pumpkins. Why?

Speaker 1 What's the power of the past? Anorexia core.

Speaker 1 What the hell's wrong with all of you? Why do you like pumpkin seeds? It tastes good. And I like scooping the goop out.
That's half the fun. Yeah.
I mean, you wash them all off. You get to salt them.

Speaker 1 You put some like oil seasonings on them.

Speaker 2 This is a fun, it's fun.

Speaker 1 You have not carved a jack and larrington in.

Speaker 2 It's been a long time. Oh, yeah, but I know the process.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So when's the last time you had pumpkins? Should we eat pumpkin seeds on the show? We haven't done.

Speaker 1 We haven't done baked pumpkin seeds in forever.

Speaker 1 My mom literally was just visiting and she left a bag of pumpkin seeds with me because she didn't want to take them on the plane.

Speaker 2 Oh, that's fun. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I remember not liking baked pumpkin seeds, but I haven't had them all spruced up, Emma. Like you're not.
I feel like

Speaker 1 they're very easy to over-toast and then they just get like chewy and yucky. I feel like there's a sweet spot where you season them well and dry

Speaker 1 all in agreement here this is blowing my mind it's such a delicious salty little I'll make some I carve jack-o'-lanters every year so I'll just bring in the seeds what's your what was your last jack-o'-lantern um it was a it's gonna be like a fucking turd or some shit

Speaker 1 it was it was a face it had a big smile and like a hundred teeth oh that's fine that's fine do you have plans for this year i'll just do it again

Speaker 1 that's a weird what's a weird one you've carved you i'm sure you've carved a weird one i really just do faces i don't do anything crazy. And you just draw them yourself? Yeah, yeah.
You're an artist.

Speaker 1 That's good.

Speaker 2 You should do a Bill Maher.

Speaker 2 I do like, I will say, I do like pumpkin seeds.

Speaker 2 All times someone is buy a bag of them bad boys and then just like have like at the fucking Trader Joe's or whatever the fuck and I can toss them in salads.

Speaker 1 It's a fun little

Speaker 1 texture. On top of a soup.
It is. Yeah, really

Speaker 1 so good.

Speaker 2 Great pivot. Absolutely.
You can throw those on top of a soup. And maybe if you're serving your

Speaker 2 pumpkin soup in the pumpkin shell, you throw some pumpkin seeds on top.

Speaker 1 That is a must. I agree with that.
Wait, so none of your other guests have liked soup?

Speaker 1 I don't. I don't think our guests have liked soup.
I don't know if there's anyone that's like crazy. We haven't gotten the emphatic yes from during soup months.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 I love soup. Yeah, I do like soup a lot.

Speaker 1 Nikki pumpkin seed. I like that.
I like that you're a pumpkin seed guy. Yeah.
It's fun. It's fun.
It is fun. Yeah.
Yeah. It's, it's, it's, uh, it's, it's, yeah.

Speaker 1 It seems like a children's book or something. Yes.
It's dainty.

Speaker 2 What was the deal with it with Pete? Because speaking of children's books, so the Peter Peter pumpkin eater. Because he had a wife who couldn't keep her, put her in a pumpkin shell, and then what?

Speaker 2 Like, fucking killed his wife?

Speaker 1 What happened? This is a very problematic

Speaker 1 children's book. Yes, I agree.
We looked this up a few weeks ago. I'm going to look up the words again, but yeah, it was Peter, Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater had a wife, but couldn't keep her.

Speaker 1 He put her in a pumpkin shell, and there he kept her very well. And then the second part is Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater had another and didn't leave her.

Speaker 1 Peter, Peter, Peter learned to read and spell, and then he loved her very well. So the issue sounds like he didn't know how to read or spell.
But how would that affect his wife? I don't know.

Speaker 1 That's a good question. He had a wife and couldn't keep her, which sounds like maybe because he couldn't spell, she was like, I'm stepping out on you.
And he was like, Uh-uh, I put you in a pumpkin.

Speaker 1 I'm going to get another wife and then learn to spell and I'll keep her. And you know what?

Speaker 1 I maybe said this back then, but the good old days were if your wife bothered you, you could put her in a pumpkin,

Speaker 1 she's out of there. Just ruin your wife, and then you can just get another.
Yeah, you get another one, and you learn to speak and write.

Speaker 2 Why did this come up earlier?

Speaker 1 I missed, you're right. This came on another episode.

Speaker 1 We looked it up again.

Speaker 1 I thought that was a few years ago. Jesus Christ.
I genuinely think this was like a month ago, but I could be fine.

Speaker 1 It's cool that we have a thing that comes up like a recurring topic is children's nursery rides. These are fucking idiots.

Speaker 2 I'm going on that long walk.

Speaker 1 I'm taking a knee immediately.

Speaker 1 You better last 50 hours. I'm going to give you shit.
Or 50 miles. You said 50 miles.

Speaker 1 What are your favorite soups?

Speaker 1 I love a butternut squash situation.

Speaker 1 We don't.

Speaker 2 We said we didn't love a butternut squash i don't mind a butternut squash it just depends on context you're pandering yeah i'm pandering a little bit

Speaker 1 if it's if it's if it's if it's sweet we like uh because sometimes they get and they make it sweet we don't like the sweet version that's what you said yeah i don't mind the sweet version but it's not my favorite

Speaker 1 version sure i gotcha um i love that kind of a soup i'm really into like a kind of a stew with oh yeah i love a stew uh kind of just like we'll throw stuff together and that is fun.

Speaker 2 You'll make your own stew. That's just throwing a bunch of stuff together.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. That's how about a Guinness beef stew.
Do you like that? Well, you don't eat red meat. Shit, that's right.
Fuck.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I haven't been like spicing it up too much lately. I kind of just have been like rocking the same soup over and over.
I'm getting a little sick of it. So I'd like to.

Speaker 1 What's the same soup you've been rocking over and over? So, well, this time I made the bone broth, which was fun. That's fun.
So I made the bone broth, and then it's like

Speaker 1 garlic onion of course right chickpeas chicken

Speaker 1 um sometimes butternut squash if i'm feeling like it but also that requires roasting it separately and sometimes i just like don't really feel like it sure um coconut milk kale all right well that's kind of mostly it turmeric a lot of fun components yeah it's so good fart soup oh fart soup fart soup fart okay all right it's causing farts yeah so the issue is right now i made a really big batch and I had to stop.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Soups are oftentimes, if they're not farty, they're like diarrhea-y. Like I feel like those are the cheapest.

Speaker 1 Yeah, soups are either fartery, fartery or daughter, diarrhea.

Speaker 1 Soups make you have to poop or pee.

Speaker 1 I think a little bit of a break. That's where the diarrhea comes in.
Yeah, I think that's a good thing.

Speaker 1 Like, yeah, I definitely have to take a break. But wait, I actually got something that's awesome that I do want to shout out.
What is that? So it's this thing. It's called Super Cubes.

Speaker 1 And it's like an ice tray, but for soup. And they have cubes? Yeah, they're like this big, and you can get them for one cup or two cups.
And then you just pour it in, and then they just like pop out.

Speaker 1 So I just have it all in my freezer, and then when I want one cup of soup, I can have one cup of soup. That's rad.
That's awesome. That's that rules.
Fart soup sounds like a book by Nickelodeon.

Speaker 1 It's like about a kid who goes to camp and it's like, you got to eat the fart soup or whatever.

Speaker 1 I bone broth. So you put like a bone as chicken bones, I'm guessing.
Yeah. And you just put it in the water and let it and boil it, basically.
Yeah, right. Onion, garlic.
Wow. Salt.

Speaker 1 Hey, shout out to onion and garlic. Two of the best.
Literally, I would say that they are the backbone of most things.

Speaker 1 Maybe the backbone of food. Onion and garlic.
Give it up. Salt, onion, garlic.
Would you say that's those are the big three? Yeah, and then pepper, of course.

Speaker 1 You don't really often want one without the other. No, they're both great together.
They're fabulous together.

Speaker 2 Our buddy Zach Dunn, who sometimes listens to the pod, I know, has.

Speaker 1 Zach, what's up, Zach?

Speaker 1 Has has a has worked on the birthday boys.

Speaker 2 Worked on the birthday boys back in the day.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he did. He must have been baby.
He was a little baby. He was a little baby.

Speaker 2 He

Speaker 1 was running around,

Speaker 1 wipe his ass.

Speaker 1 I'd say this about the guy who was like a very

Speaker 1 established writer, zombie writer, and doing great. Baby, wiping my ass.

Speaker 1 There was the AD on the birthday boys would have PAs follow us to the bathroom, and it made me so mad. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because it would be like a PA way, and then I'd waddle out of the bathroom because they were like, Make sure you're not going number three.

Speaker 1 I was never going number three. I was never.

Speaker 1 Look. What's number three?

Speaker 1 Let's just say it's what gets the pages sticky.

Speaker 1 My birthday boy script was not sticky-wise.

Speaker 1 But like, I would get out of the bathroom, and there'd be a PA there being like, sorry. And I was like, and I would say to the AD, I was like, don't have someone fall.

Speaker 1 We're making our show. We're making our show.
I want to be on set. I'm not trying to run away from set.

Speaker 1 I don't want someone to see me waddle out of the bathroom 15 minutes after I went in there and like seeing green smoke come out.

Speaker 1 Like you've just elected a frog pope. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes.
Which wasn't even getting produced.

Speaker 1 Thank you, Wiggs.

Speaker 2 What music were you listening to in there?

Speaker 1 This is the issue: is that I wasn't even thinking of that. Oh, boy, wow.
I wasn't even playing. That idea came to me.
That brilliant idea came to me later on in life.

Speaker 1 But anyways, yes. Zach, what did Zach say?

Speaker 2 Zach Dunn,

Speaker 2 I brought him up because we're talking about onions, garlic, spack bonus of everything. A garlic allergy.

Speaker 1 Oh, no. No, Zach.

Speaker 1 That sucks. Damn.

Speaker 1 That must be really hard to eat most of anything. I know.

Speaker 2 It's on everything.

Speaker 1 It's on everything, most places you go.

Speaker 2 And it's so delicious.

Speaker 1 Damn.

Speaker 1 That sucks, Zach. I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 I think it's.

Speaker 1 Saw Zach at handles, I believe.

Speaker 2 I'm realizing we brought up.

Speaker 1 It's kind of an allergy. What's that? Like, what is the reaction? I'm not sure exactly.
I think he explodes.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think he explodes.

Speaker 1 I think it's the same as. You can confirm with us if you explode when you eat it.

Speaker 2 Tell us if you explode.

Speaker 2 It was also like, I'm just wondering if there's other symptoms. Like, can you, are you, do you have issues with exposure to sunlight, you know, steak through the chest? Good questions, wise.

Speaker 2 Like, you know, there might be all sorts of,

Speaker 2 maybe more like Drac done.

Speaker 1 It would make sense why he wrote on that show.

Speaker 2 That would make total sense.

Speaker 1 Yes. Right.
I met him. I saw, him.
I didn't meet him. I saw him at Handles recently.
What is Handles? Handles is an ice cream shop. Oh, my God.

Speaker 2 Where are you with ice cream?

Speaker 1 Where am I?

Speaker 2 Yeah, do you like ice cream?

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah, where are you?

Speaker 1 I think you've said this several times. Where are you with that? And it's kind of thrown me off every time.
I like ice cream. Yeah, it's good.
I'm not like running for it. Got a favorite flavor?

Speaker 1 Okay, you know what? It's kind of a solidified soup if you think about it.

Speaker 2 It is kind of a solidified soup. Mitch, well said.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Cold, solid soup.

Speaker 1 Um,

Speaker 1 there was an ice cream that has been discontinued, and I just was googling this because I was like, whatever happened to it, it was called French silk, Ed.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, I remember French silk, French silk, and I was like, whatever happened to that, it was so good, like a French silk pie?

Speaker 1 No, it seems like it was like vent, it oh, if I could, from memory, say it would maybe be like vanilla and chocolate together, maybe even coffee, and then it had little chocolate chips in it.

Speaker 1 Wow, Fuck, you just reminded me that next door.

Speaker 1 They have the fall ice creams next door.

Speaker 1 That's salt and straw. That's salt and straw.

Speaker 1 They have like the candy ice creams and stuff. Fuck.

Speaker 2 Candy topia or candy copia, whatever it is.

Speaker 1 A lot of fun. I love like a classic, really good vanilla bean.

Speaker 2 Vanilla beans.

Speaker 2 Now

Speaker 1 you've won them over.

Speaker 2 Love vanilla. Vanilla is a flavor.
You want them over.

Speaker 2 I'm a big vanilla fan, so I go too.

Speaker 1 I don't think you stop playing. I just cared about winning them over, and you maybe didn't want to win them over but you did i was really trying to push him away

Speaker 1 well

Speaker 1 i got one over so

Speaker 1 vanilla sprinkles yeah oh vanilla

Speaker 1 sprinkles or not vanilla rainbow sprinkles

Speaker 1 my apologies

Speaker 1 i was gonna say i never even heard of vanilla sprinkles it sounds like a uh uh uh you know the the butterfinger that's uh that's marshmallow i'd never seen that i thought you were saying like vanilla with sprinkles so that's what i was thinking of that's what i was picturing uh i saw zach at handles and dave king was there who else was there there was another there was a couple other people Let me guess.

Speaker 1 If it was

Speaker 1 Zach, I would say Jake, maybe too.

Speaker 1 No, but I do believe that Zach was there. And then I believe that there was

Speaker 1 a Frankenstein and a mummy.

Speaker 1 And there were a few other. He introduced me to his familiar.
There was a lot of things going on. Oh, we were doing the bit, and I ruined it.
I was just trying to guess who he was with.

Speaker 1 I'm like, well, he was probably with his good friend Jake.

Speaker 1 And I don't know if I, I think I do know Jake, actually. I've met Jake and I and I try to hammer.
Yeah, but Frankenstein was there too. But yes, Frankenstein was there.
It was, it was, I think, yeah,

Speaker 1 I think I actually saw him post a pic. It was, it was him and Zach, and then it was Frankenstein.
Yes, yeah. Yeah, and Chucky was there.
He couldn't see over the counter. They had to pick him up.

Speaker 2 It's fun they include Chucky because he's not like one of the classic universal monsters. He's a more contemporary monster.
But they're just like, hey, come on. You're part of the gang now.

Speaker 1 Is he now, though? I mean, he's a legacy monster. He is a universal monster.

Speaker 2 So is he a legacy monster?

Speaker 1 And also, here's the fucked up thing about it. You're going to hate, you're going to hate this.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 But, like, the time from when Chucky came out to the Universal Monsters, when Chucky came out to now, pretty close.

Speaker 2 That's fascinating.

Speaker 1 Like, so we're saying what, like, Chucky came out when I was like six or seven. We're actually, yeah, we're further away from when Chucky came out than from World War II was to Chucky.

Speaker 1 Isn't that crazy? That's the truth.

Speaker 1 That is the truth. Yeah.
I wonder what was that?

Speaker 2 It was in the 80s then, 1989, something like that?

Speaker 1 Yeah, 1980. Yeah, I think maybe even earlier.
I thought, for whatever reason I remember, Child's Play is in the 90s.

Speaker 1 It might actually be 1988. 88, okay.
You are not, it's almost, it's, it's, you're almost exactly right. Wow.
So 42, 40, so what, 44 years? Yeah. 80.
So we're, it's very close. We're right about half.

Speaker 1 We're almost exactly

Speaker 1 wild. I simply was trying to do a

Speaker 1 want to feel old situation, and we actually did. We actually did it.

Speaker 1 I mean, Chucky fighting in World War II is very funny.

Speaker 2 Chucky's been a part of our lives for a long time, and yes, that is very funny.

Speaker 1 Bitch, yeah, you know, it seems funny.

Speaker 2 Yeah, kind of the same sort of thing Freddie would say.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, I go. I mean, they kind of say bitch.
Both of their taglines is kind of bitch,

Speaker 2 which is, you know, maybe a problem with the 80s and 90s.

Speaker 2 You did not see that coming, bitch.

Speaker 1 Chucky and War.

Speaker 1 They should do more fun stuff like that.

Speaker 2 They should do more fun stuff like Chucky and War.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Well, I'll say this. This is one thing I like.
I think I like Sinners more than you, but like Sinners is like. I like Sinners.

Speaker 1 I don't know what you did, right?

Speaker 1 I liked the first hour of Sinners a lot. And then the vampire stuff, I was like, I kind of have seen all of this before.

Speaker 2 Sure, but I, but, like, I would say, like, like,

Speaker 2 that said, what's cool about that movie, and we don't need to gas up this movie, this was a huge hit, but it's like...

Speaker 2 It's a horror thing, but it's also like a period thing. Like, I like when they take a genre, it's also a period.
I watched this fucking great

Speaker 2 kaiju movie earlier this year. I can't remember the name of it now.
I'd have to look it up in my letterbox, but it's a it's like a

Speaker 2 stone statue that comes out of a mountain, and so it's like a samurai epic. It's like a Japanese film.

Speaker 2 Uh, it's like a samurai epic, so it's like a period thing, but then there's a fucking kaiju, and it's this big stone guy that comes and stomps that fucking rules.

Speaker 1 It's fucking great. Yeah, it sounds cool.
Really cool. Yeah, mix both.
He should go to war as well. He should go to war.

Speaker 1 We would kick some ass. Yeah.
But

Speaker 1 I don't know if he should go to war for America. I don't know.
Look, Right. We don't.
We're in a bad spot. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Righteous. I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 I have no idea.

Speaker 1 But I loved From Dust Till Dawn. And

Speaker 1 I think Dust Till Dawn is a better horror movie than Sinners, which I know people will think is insane, but whatever.

Speaker 1 People think I have a bad taste in movies, anyways.

Speaker 1 When I was coming off of, I did a

Speaker 1 God, did I do 72-hour water fast? What did I do, Wags?

Speaker 1 Something like that. Yeah, that sounds about right.
I think I almost did four days.

Speaker 1 To help with Long, like I told you, I was going crazy.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 I did a water fast. And when I was coming off of it, the first thing I had was like bone broth and some other stuff.

Speaker 1 Try to ease me back into eating again. I had an acupuncturist tell me to start my day with it for like my stomach.
Oh,

Speaker 1 it seems seems like one of those things that's just good, like turmeric, which we talked about before the show started. And you can even put that in the broth.
100%. Yeah.
That's my hand. 100% agree.

Speaker 1 100% agree.

Speaker 1 100% agree. I had a chicken, turmeric, bone broth.
That's what I had. It was a chicken turmeric bone broth.
But why? Well, go on.

Speaker 2 I was just going to ask, where are you with, like, because we're talking ramen today? Where are you with ramen?

Speaker 1 I like that. Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's Crock Doe Burburn

Speaker 2 Fast and it's Daikoku Ya, a ramen place founded in 2002 by Takaki Tokakoyama.

Speaker 1 You say it very differently than I do. How do you say it? I say Daikokuya, but maybe I.
Daikoku Ya.

Speaker 2 I mean, it's one of those ones where it's like Japanese has like, it's hard to tell where the emphasis is on syllables because there's no, it doesn't really parallel English in the same way.

Speaker 2 But yeah, I couldn't find the canonical origin of the brand name, but Daikokuten is one of the one of Japan's seven lucky gods, the deity of wealth and good fortune.

Speaker 2 And then ya, which is appended onto the part of the end of that, means shop, house, business.

Speaker 2 So Daikohuya basically means something like good Fortune Shop, which is, I guess, a commonly used business name in Japan. So, there you go.
There are a half dozen locations in SoCal.

Speaker 2 Mitch, this was your pitch originally, and I know this is a place you really like. I do like this place a lot as well.
Sandy, have you been here before?

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 last week we were supposed to record the pod. That's right.

Speaker 1 And then we had to reschedule, but I believe the ramen had already been ordered.

Speaker 1 So, I did actually get to eat it last week. This is this, this was, I was working on the comeback.
I'll i'll just say it i try to hide it so much oh that's awesome yeah yeah oh that's very exciting

Speaker 1 yeah i'm i i'm i'm very excited about it i i don't i don't even say i'm there i'm part of the team and i feel like part of the team but it's it's fun it's great it's cool get to to act with lisa i did yes yeah

Speaker 1 very exciting which was very exciting and she's so good that yeah you're you know you're you're you're you're near i shouldn't say nearly intimidated you're intimidated because she's so damn good but also extremely nice right so uh the whole the the whole setup was great.

Speaker 1 I was very excited to be a part of it. But that went long.
And then we were going to New York. We had to cancel the record,

Speaker 1 unfortunately. But I was saying to Amelia, I was actually, I think that I gave him the system because I got to have the ramen twice.
You had two soups.

Speaker 1 This for me, and mine went to, my soup went to Mike.

Speaker 2 We talked about this a little bit last week with Stavros. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And he got to have a great soup. And then, Amelia, we said this last week, but got your shitty view.
Yeah, my vegan ramen.

Speaker 2 But here's the thing. I don't think it was shitty.
And I don't, and I. What did you get?

Speaker 1 I get the vegan ramen. But which one? There were two.

Speaker 2 Oh, I got the spicy one because I'm a bit of a heat seeker. Yeah.
And I will have a,

Speaker 2 I like, I will have a vegan ramen if there isn't a chicken broth because I do eat chicken.

Speaker 1 But there was a chicken broth, wasn't there? No, not. No, it was only pork.
Pork or vegan.

Speaker 1 That's why I also did the vegan, but I added the chicken.

Speaker 2 That's fun. Smart.
I threw some tofu in mine. It actually was pretty good.
And an egg.

Speaker 1 Did you have the spicy sesame?

Speaker 1 or the there was like a creamy spicy sesame yeah spicy i liked that yeah that's what i had as well this is the first place for me armin uh

Speaker 1 heart of a champion what do we call him didn't he have another name on the podcast armin armin our good friend friend of the show armin weizman when when i first was out here i had like never had a good ramen before and this was like his place that this like he was like this is the best ramen and it's in little tokyo and he took me there and i was like oh this is one of, this is, I never even knew ramen.

Speaker 1 And then I was having like the best version of it. And Silver Lake Ramen opened after that.
But this, to me, has always been. One of my favorite swags.
I love Daikakuya.

Speaker 2 The Daikoku ramen is their top seller. And that is the one that you got, Mitch.

Speaker 2 Our tonkotsu soup base infused with a soy sauce, their secret blended soy sauce with tender pork belly chasu, marinated boiled egg, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, green onions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Speaker 1 And you know your boy added some extra pork.

Speaker 1 What is it? Tonkatsu?

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 2 that's the base.

Speaker 2 Pork belly chasu.

Speaker 1 I added extra chasu and I added an extra egg, which Mike got last week. And I'm sure he was happy about that.

Speaker 1 Mike and I both always get extra eggs in our ramen just because those seasoned eggs are one of my favorite

Speaker 1 soy sauce egg. Yeah.
Yeah, and then it's like

Speaker 1 a little bit yolky in there. It's cooking inside the soup.
Yeah, maybe I should have done that instead of the chicken.

Speaker 2 I always throw an egg in there.

Speaker 1 Well, you can do a little from Calmele from Call of Me. That's so true.

Speaker 2 I always add an egg if there isn't one already. Sometimes I'll do a double egg.

Speaker 1 Why not? Want to get nuts? And also, I'm just going to say this. I forgot our rule that it's soup only this month, and I ordered a couple appetizers.

Speaker 1 That's right. You did.
I think it's the last one. She's so auged.
Yeah, it's true. It's the last one.
So if it's the last one, then that's the rule is that you can kind of play with it. I agree.

Speaker 1 We're opening up the gates. We're not locking the gates.
The gates are open.

Speaker 2 The gates are, I think, open from here on out.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Mark Marin's done. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He locked the gates. Yeah.
And now the gate. Is that what you meant or no? That's what I meant.
Yeah. Okay.
That's what I thought you meant.

Speaker 2 They were leaving

Speaker 2 for the last time. And then Obama just let the gates open symbolically.

Speaker 1 I got this. And then he took it.

Speaker 1 It's good to try my Obama impression for the first time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Let's hear it.

Speaker 1 Here I am. Hello, everybody.
It's me, Obama. I think I nailed it.
I think that was pretty good.

Speaker 2 I am Obama. I am on Mark Marin's podcast.

Speaker 1 My name is Obama. That's pretty good.
I love Michelle. Michelle is my wife.

Speaker 2 We have a first look deal with Netflix.

Speaker 2 My daughters are Sasha and Mali.

Speaker 1 What are you doing? I have no idea, but it was very funny. I love Michelle.
Oh, it was Biden.

Speaker 1 It's like a voice came out, and I didn't know who I was doing, but it was Biden. The ghost of Joe Biden got into you.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Who's Michelle?

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's

Speaker 1 so confused. Michelle's my wife.

Speaker 1 So this is the Cat Ranch we're recording at. What's going on? Is this Biden? This is Biden.
It's Biden like 30 years ago.

Speaker 1 I used to work at the White House, and now I work at Netflix. That's my

Speaker 1 Obama. He's a Netflix producer, guys.

Speaker 1 Wild.

Speaker 1 To go from, you think you're at the top with the White House, and then you're at Netflix, the tippy top. Yeah.
With Sarandos and everybody. You're from White House to the Red House,

Speaker 1 the big Netflix building. Do you think he hangs out with Wednesday? Oh, he's got to be there.

Speaker 2 He's hobnobbing.

Speaker 1 How are you doing, Wednesday? You're a little bit freaky?

Speaker 1 I prefer Friday myself.

Speaker 1 Excuse Excuse me, I'm gonna go participate in the squid games.

Speaker 1 I love Michelle,

Speaker 1 Michelle is not alive. Joe's back,

Speaker 1 uh, Joe, stay away from Michelle. Um,

Speaker 1 I couldn't think, I couldn't think of any other Netflix show besides the one I was on. Yeah, which one? Uh, love on Netflix,

Speaker 1 yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, this uh new show we're pitching is uh kind of like a contemporary version of love

Speaker 1 10 years ago,

Speaker 1 10 years newer show.

Speaker 1 NFPs. What if love happened today?

Speaker 1 Malia will be a writer on the staff. And it's staring me.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 we won't get into some of those rumors that we've all, that we broke on the podcast. What rumors?

Speaker 1 That Obama was dating Jennifer Aniston. Yeah.
Which we broke on the past. Oh, yeah, I heard this as well.
We broke it on the podcast. I guess we broke it on the podcast.

Speaker 1 We laughed because Susser texted us, Obama is dating Jennifer Anderson, and we laughed at him, and then we heard more. Then it was in like us weekly.
Right.

Speaker 1 It was like in tabloids, but I still, I think that all Hollywood gossip is true. Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's fun to just imagine it is true.

Speaker 1 Because it's like, where did it come from? Right. Bring back Perez Hilton.

Speaker 1 We need Perez Hilton. I saw him at a coffee shop once.

Speaker 2 Really? Yeah. He's just working on a laptop by himself.

Speaker 1 Really? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Likely placement. Artistically putting cum drops onto someone's face.

Speaker 1 All right. Wax, we got a ton of stuff.
That ramen, yes.

Speaker 2 Look, I've had the,

Speaker 2 I'm not eating pork right now. I have had that pork ramen before.
It is really, really yummy. It is delicious.
It is delectable. It is rich.

Speaker 2 I mean, I think it's a great broth. And

Speaker 1 it's still my favorite. We had silver leg ramen and I've, and I was mean to silver egg ramen back in the day.
And then we had it. I was like, this is fucking good.
No, the silver leg ramen's good.

Speaker 1 I do think that the pork ramen at Daikakuya is better. Yeah, it is better.
Yeah, 100%.

Speaker 2 I mean, it's just a different tier.

Speaker 1 They're both fantastic. They're besides.
They're both fantastic. I thought it was really, really fabulous for being vegan.
Me too. Wow.
I'll say this.

Speaker 2 So we both got a spicy sesame vegan ramen, bean sprouts, green onion, carrot, and garlic. A lot of ramen in it.
The broth is really savory,

Speaker 2 has a good viscosity to it, Mitch.

Speaker 1 I think it tasted better this week than last week. Wow, really? Yeah.
Wow. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It was more flavorful, but also maybe, I don't know, something was wrong with me.

Speaker 2 No, it's got like like a good umami quality to it. I mean, I think it's, I mean, I think it's really, really flavorful.
I really enjoyed it.

Speaker 1 It was really good. The sesame was stronger this week.

Speaker 2 And I added egg and tofu, as we mentioned. You added the chicken breast

Speaker 2 chashu. And it's.

Speaker 1 That was my, I was about to slowly follow you on it.

Speaker 1 You just, it did sound like you were sneezing. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I,

Speaker 1 I didn't, I, I didn't even try. I should have tried a sip of your soups.

Speaker 1 I still have most of mine. Really? Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's a big portion.

Speaker 1 It's a big portion. It's a big boy.
It's a two-mealer.

Speaker 2 And one of the things that the way this is.

Speaker 1 You want to go get your sip? And I still want to try the seltzer.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 what?

Speaker 1 It's a segment later in the show.

Speaker 1 Edit it out. Edit it out.
Edit it it out.

Speaker 1 You got to tell me about something secret.

Speaker 1 That's secret. It's secret.
That's a secret. Can't talk about it yet.
I don't want to try anything. Wait, are we going to do it? Are we going to do it in the show?

Speaker 2 I thought we were going to do it as a bonus thing.

Speaker 1 Oh, really? Yeah.

Speaker 2 Because we have a segment.

Speaker 1 All right, then we'll do it as a bonus thing. I mean,

Speaker 1 are we going to do a bonus thing? I don't fucking know, mister Listeners.

Speaker 1 Let's do it as a bonus. Okay, we got to do it as a bonus thing.
All right, fucking boss.

Speaker 1 What the fuck?

Speaker 1 I think you're going to have to stick around and do a bonus segment. What the fuck?

Speaker 1 No, we can't have it now. We cannot do it now.

Speaker 1 I'm just going to say. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
I got the homemade porquioza, which you guys could not eat. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit. Did you throw that away or no? I ate it.
Good. That's good.
I'm so happy today.

Speaker 1 Oh, slam dung.

Speaker 1 The porquiosa is fantastic. Look, the rules are broken on the last episode.
The other thing that you got was, I tried. That was was the Sisho.

Speaker 1 Siso Age.

Speaker 2 This is a spicy tuna wrapped in Shiso leaf and deep-fried in Tempura batter.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Not bad. I think, look, there was some travel issues with it.
And also, like, it is interesting to have like a spicy tuna that is like hot, like a deep-fried, hot, spicy tuna.

Speaker 1 But I thought, like, if you got this fresh in the restaurant, I think it would be interesting and pretty good.

Speaker 1 What did you guys think? I'd like to go to it.

Speaker 2 I mean, tempura doesn't really travel. That's a good point.
But

Speaker 2 I did like it quite a bit.

Speaker 1 I feel like it was a little too much of the batter. Sure.
Yeah. Because it took me a while to actually get to the tuna.
Yes. Yeah.
Yeah. I know you were chewing for a second.

Speaker 1 And then also, I got to the tuna right away, and that was like a chewing. I don't know.
It was

Speaker 1 a hot version of it. But it was still good.
I don't think you're supposed to just pop one either. I think it's maybe a bite situation.

Speaker 2 A lot of batter, you know, recording this during the MOB playoffs, people are saying batter up. I'm more like batter down.

Speaker 1 I'm with you. I've heard batter up so much in the last couple of weeks.
Same. I'm just knock it off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, they got to play the game.

Speaker 2 They got to play the game, but like in this context, context, I would say batter down.

Speaker 1 Yeah, batter down a little bit in this one. I also think, look, we just.

Speaker 2 Do you like it when cum is called baby batter? I think that's disgusting.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, I love it.

Speaker 1 I love when cum is called baby batter.

Speaker 1 That honestly is giving sando.

Speaker 1 It's giving sando.

Speaker 1 Baby batter is disgusting. That's pretty disgusting.

Speaker 1 Baby batter up. Now I like that.
I'm seeing a movie with a little baby that got into the major league. Oh, that's cute.
Yeah, that's more. That's way more fun.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 But look, batter down, I agree with you, but none of this counts. We can't put this towards our.

Speaker 2 The pitcher is distracting with a mobile. That's actually, you know, it would be the catcher behind him.

Speaker 1 He'd be like, oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 But that still hits a fucking home rock. When he takes his first steps to home base.

Speaker 2 Oh, my God. It's really cute.

Speaker 1 That's so funny. He's crawling, but he's always doing okay.
And then

Speaker 1 his last

Speaker 1 in the game-winning play,

Speaker 1 he's his first step. So

Speaker 1 he gets walked. Yeah.
Oh, I'm teared up. That's good.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And then when he touches his home plate, they're like, and he grew pubes, and they hold him up. Yeah.
But then they shoot him because he stopped walking.

Speaker 1 Yes, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's the last shot of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 His diaper drops. You see his little baby dick with a bunch of pubes, full nest of pubes, and then he gets shot.

Speaker 1 It might be a hard movie to play in theaters. Like I said, tears tearing up.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of things that, like, you know, most normal civilians won't be happy with in the last few minutes of the movie. And then the last framework is kind of a brutalist situation.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's a little bit of a. The first half was amazing.
And the second half, they just did a bunch of kind of.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they could have just trimmed the last three minutes of the movie off.

Speaker 1 Anyways, no, the baby walks to home. That's the end of the day.
That's cute. Yeah.
Adorable. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 I once again, look, I don't have anything interesting to say here because I loved my soup. The broth is fantastic.
It's just, it's the quality of the ingredients, but you know what?

Speaker 1 This place does so well. Yeah.
The noodles are just so good. Great noodles.
Noodles were really good. Wonderful temperature.
Noodles are so good.

Speaker 2 Well, because this is the whole thing, and I mentioned this in the intro a little bit, but you know, what are the issues with this place when it comes to exist in 2002, the

Speaker 2 assumption in America regarding ramen is that it's like, this is a cheap food. This is like, oh, this is that thing you buy for 10 cents from the supermarket so you can eat on a budget.

Speaker 2 You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 People think of top ramen. I was like, I was used to it before I came to LA.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, like, like, like, me too, as well. Like, even, even growing up in Southern California, there were not the artisan ramen shops.
They were not as omnipresent as they are today.

Speaker 2 And then coming to LA proper, and there's, there's, like, you know, there's

Speaker 2 the little Tokyo neighborhood, there's Sautelle, which has a lot of Japanese restaurants. There's a lot more of that stuff.
And so that's where I came to appreciate it. But yeah,

Speaker 2 part of why this place is so hard to sell initially, but then, you know, it grew an audience based off of its fandom is because of that stereotype of what ramen is or how much ramen should cost.

Speaker 1 I mean, growing up, I had major depression in second grade, and I would only eat ramen for like a whole year. It was the only thing I would eat was like microwave ramen.

Speaker 1 I'm so sorry, that's early to get a really ramen. Oh, isn't that crazy? Yeah, oh, strange, yeah, divorce,

Speaker 1 yeah, I got divorced.

Speaker 1 That's early to get that, too.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I know, but um,

Speaker 1 that is something where I feel like um, that was that's how I kind of always was engaging with ramen. Wow, um, and then so it for me also, like, I'll never taste anything as good as that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, I get it, I get it. I mean, that was like

Speaker 1 incredible. That, I mean, Daikakuya is my top.

Speaker 1 I love a ramen little cup of ramen or whatever, you know, like I like, I, I like those, and I don't pretend that I was a poor college kid that had to survive on them like so many fucking rich kids.

Speaker 1 I had to eat ramen all through college. Shut the fuck up.
Yeah, you liked to eat ramen in college. You liked to eat ramen in college, and your parents gave you a meal plan, you fucking dork.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Your parents bought you one of the huge boxes that were offered. Yes,

Speaker 1 it's the whitest white kid thing to be like, dude, in college, I couldn't be like, oh, I had to eat ramen, dude. It was fucking hard.

Speaker 1 Meanwhile, in second grade, I had to eat ramen. You had to eat ramen.
I actually had to eat eaten. You had to eat ramen.

Speaker 1 That's a different story right there.

Speaker 1 Cut the shit, you college, you spoiled college kids. Cut the shit.

Speaker 1 That's all.

Speaker 2 I mean, I think this is like a top-tier ramen, but this is, it just does everything perfectly.

Speaker 2 I wish I tried that egg.

Speaker 1 We could DoorDash you an egg, possibly.

Speaker 2 Door dash a single egg.

Speaker 1 A loose egg. Yeah.
A loose egg. Rolling around in the passenger seat.

Speaker 1 Chopped Ron's next on.

Speaker 1 The egg is very good. Oh, good.
Well, it's just the creamy broth here. And I'm not sure how your broth was, but that pork broth is creamy and delicious.
That's good.

Speaker 1 And sometimes when a broth is too creamy, it kind of like hurts my stomach. This one didn't.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, this, this, same with me.
I ate almost the whole damn thing.

Speaker 1 I will say this. Silver-like ramen, they have packaged here at Taikakuya now where they have the stuff on top, and then you pour, you put it in, but the bowl is plastic.

Speaker 1 And I was a little bit nervous as I microwaved mine for about three minutes total of microplastics going in. But once again, I do want to say Amelia offered a bowl.
She did. She did.

Speaker 1 I want to say Amelia offered a bowl. You chose the plastic.
A plastic bowl.

Speaker 1 That's all we got. Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah, she offered a plastic bowl. And I was like, I'm going to, I'm going to risk it with this.
They definitely pour like piping hot broth into it.

Speaker 1 That's why I think it probably should be okay, but whatever. We're all doomed.
I'm trying to de-plastic my kitchen, but it's like, to what end? Exactly. It's almost impossible.

Speaker 2 You start to do that and then you just end to full-on nihilism. Why do anything? You know, yeah.

Speaker 1 But I get like

Speaker 1 plastic anxiety a lot. Yeah, me too.

Speaker 2 We're just eating so much of it. We have so much of it like in our digestive.

Speaker 1 I like it.

Speaker 1 I think it's tasty as hell. And you know what? Irma likes plastic.
I told you this before. Wally will lick it.
My cat, Irma, licks plastic so much. And I have to.
My cat does that too. Why?

Speaker 1 I don't get it.

Speaker 1 She drinks enough water because it can, so a lot of people are like, they're dehydrated. Irma barfs a lot.
She's always been a barfer. Then people are like, she could be, she's fine.

Speaker 1 I'm telling you, I take care of my cats for those who who don't believe me some of them barf some of them some of them just barf they like barfing some of them do just barf that's that is that's the deal and humans do yeah i'm barfing i'm a barfer are you all the time but barfer i

Speaker 1 i i barf like that like it's years between me barfing and then when i do i have barfed this year i barfed last night did you really yeah wow you're a barfer i'm a barfer wow well i'm in recovery not bulimia but basically

Speaker 1 like against my will bulimia yeah Yeah, okay, yes, yeah illness. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 We maybe did. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's it happens if I eat too much or if I eat too fast or last night I had a soup shout out.

Speaker 1 Hell yeah, but it was tomato base, which sometimes upsets me. Oh, sure.
It's sidic. And I was anxious.
That's why.

Speaker 1 I mean, when I barfed, well, I just know this, I was auditioning for something, a big role that I didn't get.

Speaker 1 And I, and I, uh, and when I had the call back, I barfed in my show, and I was taking GLP ones, which also today, I hadn't taken it for two weeks, like I said, and I took it last night.

Speaker 1 Oh, you blasted recently. Yeah, yeah, I took it.

Speaker 1 Zepbound, it's like a weight loss drug. Oh, okay.
So I took it last night and I hadn't taken it for it. It makes you burn.

Speaker 1 It can.

Speaker 1 I was nerve. I mean, it was a combo of nerves and my stomach being upset or whatever.
And it was, and I was kind of new on it at the time when I did it. But, anyways, I feel like when I get it.

Speaker 1 When you titrate up, that's the other thing. It gets you like sick.

Speaker 2 When I get anxiety, I'm like, when I get anxiety, I'm like, I feel like I'm dry heaving and gagging. Like, I get, I feel like I dry heave more than I actually puke.
Just in general, I'm a dry heaver.

Speaker 1 I'm a dry guy. I mean, that's work.

Speaker 1 You are a dry guy. We're both dry guys.
I, I wet as they come.

Speaker 1 It's so disgusting with barf.

Speaker 1 I'm so good at it now.

Speaker 1 Oh, I mean, that's what I was going to say. Dry heaving is worse than barfing.
Yeah, it hurts. Because you're just hurting and you're not getting it up.
Like when you finally barf, you feel great.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Sometimes.
But if it's actually like too long from when I've eaten, then it's really painful. Oh, because then it's all like acidic and it hurts.
Right, right. Yeah, it's more violent.

Speaker 1 But if it's kind of right after, no worries.

Speaker 1 I'm not a good barfer. I've never been a good barfer.
It's hard for me. It's hard for me to barf.

Speaker 2 Where's the day it's out in barfing?

Speaker 1 I hate it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, if it happens, it happens. I usually feel so much better after.
So, like, I'm surprised one of you doesn't like a minimum. I'm surprised one of you doesn't like barfing.

Speaker 1 I mean, I like barfing. And also, I'm looking at you, Amelia.
Yeah, I think I can be like, I love barfing. I actually hate barfing so much.

Speaker 1 Also, I know some people have that thing where they can't even hear about it. Oh, yeah.
I don't have that.

Speaker 1 I don't have that. I don't think any of us have that on the show at all.

Speaker 2 Our listeners are just fucking puking in their cars.

Speaker 1 A guy puking into the windshield.

Speaker 1 Oh, I can't see. Crashes in their ambulance.

Speaker 2 I think that

Speaker 2 puking is unpleasant. Usually feel better.
I hate dry heaving, which I do a lot. However, puking is also very funny.

Speaker 1 Well, that's my whole thesis with it. Yeah.
Is that it's like the funniest thing possible. And that because I can kind of do it like on command, it's like a bit of a superpower.
Oh, that is cool.

Speaker 1 I'll do the Drake meme. Dry heaving? Dry humping.

Speaker 1 Give me a nice dry hump, why? Because we love a good dry hump. We love a dry hump.
Because let's be honest, that's all we're going to get.

Speaker 1 Wait, how did we get into barfing?

Speaker 1 How do we get here?

Speaker 1 How do we get?

Speaker 1 Where do we go from here? Where do we go from?

Speaker 1 Oh, we were talking about plastic. We were talking about plastic.
She's a big barfer. She's a big barfer.
Irma's a big barf.

Speaker 1 She looks plastic.

Speaker 1 Irma's a big barfer.

Speaker 1 Obama on.

Speaker 1 I've been listening to Doughboys. Irma's a big barfer.

Speaker 1 Irma's a barfer.

Speaker 1 Those are Joe Biden's last words.

Speaker 1 It's so funny to do him. He is a fearless person.

Speaker 1 He was a very funny president.

Speaker 1 He's still alive.

Speaker 1 I'm saying he was a funny president. He was a funny president.
For a moment, even though it was a disaster in many ways.

Speaker 2 Two of the funniest presidents in recent memory. I mean, not like no, both not good in different ways.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that I think certainly one worse.

Speaker 2 You know which one.

Speaker 1 Anyhow, I'll give you a hint. He's the color of this table.

Speaker 1 Yeah, let's get rid of this orange table, Wags. What do you say?

Speaker 2 Yeah, let's replace it with a

Speaker 1 white table.

Speaker 1 There we go.

Speaker 1 That'll teach him.

Speaker 1 Let's replace it with a female table. There you go.
Oh, what?

Speaker 1 To get back to the soups, I love it.

Speaker 1 It's it's there's nothing interesting to to say. I just think it's so good.

Speaker 2 It's so good. Well, then let's get to our final thoughts.

Speaker 1 What else is there to say? I mean,

Speaker 1 you guys had a different, interesting one. It's still good.

Speaker 2 What's left is to give our fork scores, Mitch. Sandy, so here's how this will work.

Speaker 2 We'll each go around, give any additional comments we want to, a closing argument, if you will, on this particular chain, and then give it a score from zero to five forks.

Speaker 2 However, because it's soup month, we have not been doing forks. We have been doing something else

Speaker 2 thematic and something more like with spoons, for instance, is an option. But I'm trying to think of what we covered here.

Speaker 1 We've never done oyster crackers. We could do oyster crackers, but you don't like it.
I always love oyster crackers. Okay, let's do oyster crackers.
I'll eat those dang things on their own. Really?

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. I love them.

Speaker 2 Sandy, your thoughts, your fork scores.

Speaker 1 They're the worst taste possible. Your sweet scores.
Oyster crackers are good. They're good.

Speaker 1 I remember when I was at my mom's house and we got, like, she keeps oyster crackers for so long and they tasted like paint. Oh, man.
Yeah. What, you like that?

Speaker 1 The older they get, the drier they get.

Speaker 2 Sandy, your score from zero to five oyster crackers.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 You're going to have to go first if you want me to. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Daikakuya Wigs is

Speaker 1 fantastic. It's a very well-done ramen place.
I wish they had the same non-plasticky bowls as Silver Lake Ramen.

Speaker 1 But what they're trying to do, and for me, one of the first places that I tried in Little Tokyo here in Los Angeles

Speaker 1 just

Speaker 1 blew my mind, changed everything I knew about ramen.

Speaker 1 There's quality ingredients. It's a little hole in the wall, the actual place downtown.
I don't know if you've ever been wise. You have, of course, you've been before.

Speaker 1 I think we're going out on a good one because I can't go below

Speaker 1 five oyster crackers.

Speaker 1 That was Obama reviewing it. Five oyster crackers.
Perfect score.

Speaker 2 Sandy, do you want to go now?

Speaker 1 I mean, I would, I could, even this is a type of place that I think it's so good. It could be like a six-cracker club.

Speaker 1 But, you know,

Speaker 1 I won't do that because it's a special occasion for that. But I think it is that good.

Speaker 2 It's a little, it's hard for me to get up to, you know, six crackers just because they don't have a chicken broth. It would be nice if they offered that alternative for people who don't eat pork.

Speaker 2 But all that said, it is, I've had the pork ramen in the past. It is great.
And it is an. a delicious vegan ramen, one of the best vegan ramens I've ever had.
Wow.

Speaker 2 This place is up there with like, you know, the other LA shops are thinking of like Sujita or Hokkaido Ramen Santoka, which we reviewed previously on the podcast.

Speaker 2 There's a lot of, there's a lot of really good options.

Speaker 1 What's the place we almost went to? Ramen World or something?

Speaker 2 Afuri. Oh, I mean, I think it's maybe called Ramen World and like the Japanese name, but Afuri is how it is out.
It's the official name. Yeah, I've been to Furry.
Furry is very good.

Speaker 2 Furry is a little bit more like a...

Speaker 2 I think a little bit more of a dine-in. There's like a bar and everything.
It's got cocktails. It's a little bit more of an expansive menu than a typical stripped-down ramen shop like Daikoku Ya.

Speaker 2 But I think this place is fucking great. And I agree with you, Mitch.
We're in the hand-holding club here, which is this is five oyster crackers.

Speaker 1 Say, say it in a president's voice.

Speaker 2 Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.

Speaker 1 Not you have to do a different president, though.

Speaker 2 I'm gonna do it for a different president.

Speaker 1 I

Speaker 2 did not have ramen with that woman,

Speaker 2 but I give it five oyster crackers.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 Followed orders.

Speaker 1 You did a great job.

Speaker 1 So you also have to do that too, just so different president. Yeah.
Different president. Well.

Speaker 1 Pretty good.

Speaker 1 And I go ahead and be five quickers. Wow.
That's really good. One of my worst Trumps I've ever done.
That was good. I thought you were doing Reagan.

Speaker 1 Some of the best Trump impressions people

Speaker 1 assume it's Reagan.

Speaker 2 In a way, Trump is an impression of Reagan.

Speaker 1 We'll be right back. Wow.
All right, we're back.

Speaker 2 So you go five all the way.

Speaker 1 So Platinum Plate Club. Platinum Plate Club.
Platinum Bull Club. Platinum Bull Club.
I was afraid to go first because I just wasn't sure.

Speaker 1 Even with Letterbox, it's like sometimes people, when they really like a movie, they'll only give it like three and a half stars. You know, I didn't totally know where you were, you know.

Speaker 1 I mean, we're. And you're skimpy with the fives.
If you kind of throw them out, if you really like them.

Speaker 2 I don't don't think we're, we're, we're, the Platinum Plate Club, even after a fucking decade of doing this podcast, uh, is still a pretty

Speaker 2 small fraternity. There's not a lot of chains in there.
So as far as us going five, five forks or whatever the equivalent measurement is, uh, yeah, we, we, we're, we're, we're,

Speaker 2 we, we don't never hand it out, but we don't hand it out every day.

Speaker 1 I'm in my head because I feel like I didn't do a good Trump impression. I wasn't sure what I thought was a great Reagan impression.
I liked it.

Speaker 1 I was like, you know, I didn't, I didn't play with the form. I didn't really do a good job.
I just kind of like, and I didn't even fully go for it. Yeah.
I liked it.

Speaker 1 I thought you nailed it. And also, I made you do it.
We're looking into it. We're looking into the five crackers.
Is that better?

Speaker 1 Is that something he says? It is something that's looking into it. The five oh some crackers.

Speaker 1 Some are saying five crackers. The Reagan.

Speaker 1 If you said Reagan, I would have believed it was Reagan, too. Totally.
I liked it. I can't do a Reagan impression because I don't really know anything about the 80s politics.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 Right. Oh, my Reagan is just like, but how does he sound again? Nancy.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Well, Nancy,

Speaker 2 stop sucking off Bob Hope.

Speaker 1 She was the blowjob queen of Hollywood. Of course.
We're in that Genesis video again, Nancy.

Speaker 1 The no-good Genesis put it, turned us into puppets in their video. That's the only thing I know about Ronald Reagan.
Ask Dot what five crackers can skip about.

Speaker 1 We did a great job.

Speaker 2 We did a great job already.

Speaker 1 SNL should be knocking down our doors. We'll see.
We'll see what happens. Yeah, why aren't they? I don't understand.

Speaker 2 Hey, it's time for a segment. I got some food-related jingles, and Mitch and Sandy must determine which year they came out.

Speaker 2 It's another edition of Jingle All the Way, spelled W-H-E-Y, the rules of Jingle All the Way. The closest guess without going over wins a point.
If you guess the year exactly, you get two points.

Speaker 2 That's the Art and Marine rule. If the game ends in a tie, the guest wins.
That's the Mitch Kenna rule.

Speaker 2 If the second guesser can guess a movie from the first guesser's year correctly, they get a point.

Speaker 2 If the second guesser can guess a movie from the first guesser's year correctly, they get a point. That's the Murder Brian rule, which you can invoke once per game.

Speaker 2 If you can also make the movie a food pun that doesn't have to be explained, you get an extra point. That's the Zach Cherry rule once per game.

Speaker 1 This is insane. And then if you're a name,

Speaker 2 if you can name a character.

Speaker 1 That one was a pun if about based on what? Based on food, but don't worry. Don't worry.
You don't have to memorize it.

Speaker 2 I want to do the Zach cherry rule you you you you will be able to do it if you can name a character that an actor in the commercial played you get a point that's the beck bennett rule you can also do that once per game wait what was it if you can name a character that an actor in the commercial played that's right you get a point that's good we're watching that yeah

Speaker 1 that's what the tv

Speaker 1 we got a pretty tech heavy podcast here

Speaker 2 uh that's the beck bennett rule which you can do once per game and today's theme is campbell's soup these as always are compiled by the game but you also can make a rule.

Speaker 2 You can make a new rule if that comes up. These are, as always, are compiled by the king.

Speaker 1 Like Bill Maher, you can make a new rule.

Speaker 2 Compiled by the Drop King, Robert Persinger. Thank you, DK.
Thanks, DK. First up, what kind of Campbell's kid are you?

Speaker 1 What kind of Campbell kid are you?

Speaker 1 Here we go. Speaking of Chucky,

Speaker 1 this kid looks like a little Chucky.

Speaker 2 We had a little red-headed kid there, a little red-headed scamp. That was a mostly an animated commercial that turned into live action at the tail end.

Speaker 1 There, a cool world.

Speaker 1 Kind of a cool world, kind of a class.

Speaker 1 I guess cool world is turning into an animated thing.

Speaker 2 It's the same principle.

Speaker 2 Sandy, do you want to go?

Speaker 2 Actually, Mitch, we'll have you go first for this one because you know the game. And then we'll alternate.
Mitch, what year did this ad come out?

Speaker 1 I'm going to say,

Speaker 1 I was going to say 86, but I'm going to go 88. I'm going to go a couple years later.

Speaker 1 But wait, if I go over it, does it fuck me? Is that what it is?

Speaker 2 Yes, you can't go over. The closest guess without going over.

Speaker 1 Fucking stupid rules. Oh, you can't keep track of all these rules? Well, I I was going to go higher if that helps.
Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 Oh, that, no, that, I mean, look, that's nice of you to try to help me win, but like,

Speaker 1 I'm going to go 88. I'll stick with 88.

Speaker 2 Mitch says 88.

Speaker 1 I'm feeling 90s due to the home decor and the animation style felt a little later to me. Okay.
I like that. So I'm going to say 90,

Speaker 1 maybe even later than what I'm thinking, but I'll just say 93. 93.

Speaker 2 You both overshot it. No one gets a point.
1985.

Speaker 1 Oh, you can can believe that. I mean, my baseline was going to be 86.
Wow. So I wouldn't have won, anyways.

Speaker 1 This is a stupid rule where if you are over, you don't get the point. That's Price's right rules.
It's a classic rule. Stupid.
It doesn't make sense in this game.

Speaker 2 All right, next up, this one is called the Manhandlers.

Speaker 3 Heading home and hungry.

Speaker 3 How do you handle a hungry man?

Speaker 3 The manhandler.

Speaker 3 Campbell's vegetable beet soup is one of them, manhandlers. It's a meat and potato soup.
Great for any hungry man.

Speaker 1 He's got some actor that we should know, too. The manhandler.
John Early.

Speaker 2 Love the narration there. I love the classic sort of title card or just the titles on screen, I should say.

Speaker 1 Very handsome, like friend of the show, John Early. Yeah, yeah, yes.

Speaker 2 So, Sandy, you'll go first. You'll guess.
What year did the manhandlers first air?

Speaker 1 I mean, it had a 70s vibe for sure, but I mean, I don't know. Last time I was so confident,

Speaker 1 I'm going to say 72. 72.
That's exactly the year I was going to say. Wow.
But instead.

Speaker 1 But what about Sandy's rule, which is that we can hold hands and say that we both agree?

Speaker 1 Wow. And then we watched his family.
I'm implementing Sandy's rule, 1972. We both agree.
Because why fight? Yes.

Speaker 2 You both are going to get a single point because this actually came out in 1978. So you're tied.

Speaker 2 So the Sandy Hoenig rule.

Speaker 1 We both got a point.

Speaker 1 As were my hands sweaty? No. Okay.

Speaker 1 Were mine.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Sorry.

Speaker 2 Was I making you nervous?

Speaker 1 If you hold hands,

Speaker 1 I'm always nervous.

Speaker 2 You say your guess and say you agree,

Speaker 1 then you can both have a guy. Then you can be used once again.

Speaker 1 because why fight? Yeah, because why fight, Wags?

Speaker 2 Because, yeah, because why fight?

Speaker 1 That's nice. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right, we'll do this document here.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 I don't know if he was based on he was in the commercial.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I guess it wasn't just like them secretly videotaping the manhandler. It was like a man on the street type thing.

Speaker 2 I don't have that documented in here.

Speaker 2 So if it was a real, like an actor.

Speaker 1 I think the redheaded fucker was the actor too. Who knows?

Speaker 2 I mean, they're both, again, they were both actors, but like, as far as,

Speaker 2 I think you mean like a name actor, like somebody's a name.

Speaker 1 Something like a character for. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, we'll see.
We'll keep moving along.

Speaker 2 All right, next up, this ad is soup is good food.

Speaker 1 Like, old, old soup. Soup is a harvest star.

Speaker 1 Okay. The worst job interview in recorded history.
What a gargoyle. But what if they said they'd call me this afternoon? Here, have something to eat.
Oh, I couldn't. My stomach's knots.

Speaker 1 Come on, it's Campbell's cream and mushroom soup. You can always eat soup.
You're saying this is a gay couple. This lesbian.

Speaker 1 Whether it's on the nose, it's voted. See, now you look like you can handle it.
You know, she came in and said.

Speaker 1 That is a good point. It's gay and formerly.

Speaker 1 Maybe this was. Maybe this was early on.
It was going to be outright said. Because lesbians like soup.

Speaker 1 This is something I didn't know, but now I will.

Speaker 1 That's like how when they first were marketing the Subaru, they didn't outright say, like, this is like lesbian car, but they found out through like looking at their data that most, like a big part of their, um, the people that bought subarus were lesbians.

Speaker 1 So they started marketing towards them in kind of coded ways. Wow.
Wow. And wait, and lesbians like soup? Is that also a thing?

Speaker 1 In my experience. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I can't wait to be at a restaurant and see two ladies eating soup and like wink at them.

Speaker 1 What the fuck is wrong with this? Lesbians love when men wink at them.

Speaker 2 Mitch, you're going first this time. What year did Soup is good food first air?

Speaker 1 Wigs, I think that came out, that beautiful video came out, and it's going to be weird because it's very close to the other date.

Speaker 1 I'm going to go,

Speaker 1 I feel like I want to say 1980, but I'm going to say 1982, the year I was born.

Speaker 2 1982.

Speaker 2 Sandy, your guess.

Speaker 1 I'm going to say it's 1984 because what the who was going on there with two two women in the kitchen.

Speaker 1 I'll say 1984.

Speaker 1 I feel like it's later than that because of the gay messages. I feel like, because when was AIDS crisis? It's like they're not going to want to signal gay

Speaker 1 so early.

Speaker 1 So maybe it's a little later in the 80s. Maybe it's kind of

Speaker 1 like an 80, 88.

Speaker 1 You got a point secured no matter what, if it is late 80s. So 84 is a good guess.
I'll say with 84, but know that I mean 88.

Speaker 2 I mean, we're thinking of Reagan politics. I was thinking, well, there is no AIDS crisis.
That was a big thing of him, just being a fucking complete piece of shit.

Speaker 1 I'm back in that damn Genesis video.

Speaker 1 What was that called?

Speaker 1 Land of.

Speaker 1 Oh, do you guys have no idea what the game is?

Speaker 1 No. There was a Genesis video where he was in it in this.
What was the monkey's name?

Speaker 2 This is a commercial.

Speaker 1 Land of Confusion. Land of Confusion.
This is a fancy.

Speaker 1 I said Land of, didn't I? Land of Confusion. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Wait, was this a commercial for it or was this a game itself?

Speaker 1 You don't remember the video?

Speaker 2 I don't remember this specifically.

Speaker 1 No, it's a I'm sure I've seen it. Satirical puppet shows.

Speaker 1 You don't remember? This was on the Sega Genesis.

Speaker 1 No, it wasn't on the Sega. Oh, Genesis the band.

Speaker 2 That's why I was so confused. I was thinking of a Sega.

Speaker 2 I was thinking of a Sega CD game for the Sega Genesis. I was like, was there some fucking motion graphics FMV game?

Speaker 1 It was on MTV. It was on MTV.

Speaker 2 I don't remember the band Genesis.

Speaker 1 No one knows this. I don't remember this at all.
Oh my God, I feel older than you.

Speaker 2 Well, Mitch, I'll say this.

Speaker 2 Your birth year paid off here because Sup is Good Food came out in 1982 on the dot. You get two points.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 2 we were asking if there were actors in any of these. There is in this one.
Did anyone recognize the movie star?

Speaker 1 Can you play it again? I know we can't get a point. Oh, actually, we could still.
No, no, no, no. Would you guys have felt that that was lesbian-coded if I didn't say that?

Speaker 1 When you pointed it out, I 100% agreed with you. I felt like from the moment she walked in the door in the the suit.

Speaker 1 I didn't notice it.

Speaker 2 Yeah, because what else is it? Are they like sisters? Are they supposed to be roommates? I mean, it's a kept ambiguous intention.

Speaker 1 Can I kind of say that? And there's one more mask, one more femme. Yes.

Speaker 1 By the way, I'm going to guess who the movie star is. Michelle Pfeiffer before we replay it.
But can you replay the video? Yep.

Speaker 1 Susie? No, it was not Michelle Pfeiffer. Wait, you got it? It was the worst job in just a minute.
Turn around again, Mystery. What a gargoyle.

Speaker 1 They said they'd call me this afternoon. Here, have something to eat.
Oh, I couldn't. My stomach's knots.
Come on. It's not Meg Ryan, is it?

Speaker 2 Sandy, it is Meg Ryan.

Speaker 1 Why do you get a point?

Speaker 2 I actually don't get a point for that, but

Speaker 2 you can name a character that the actor in the commercial played. You do get a point.

Speaker 2 You'll get a point for Salad.

Speaker 1 I was just at Katz's Deli in New York. I should have gotten that.
Damn it.

Speaker 1 And also, you know what? Kind of. I love Katz's Deli.
I still think it's the best in the world, but my pastrami is a little tough this morning. A little tough.
Again,

Speaker 1 it. It is tough times.

Speaker 2 Another part of the rule is if you can make a...

Speaker 1 Wait, does that count for a pun?

Speaker 2 What's that?

Speaker 1 No, if you, if, if you, no, but. No, no, actually.
It doesn't. No, it doesn't.
Not even at all. No.

Speaker 2 But if you can guess a movie from the first guesser's year correctly, they get a point.

Speaker 1 That is right. So 1982 is a 1982 movie.

Speaker 2 And if you can make movie guess a food pun, you get extra, get an extra point.

Speaker 1 Make what get a what?

Speaker 2 If you can make a movie, if you can guess a movie from the first guesser's year correctly, so if you can guess a movie from 1982, you get a point, and you get an extra point if you can make the movie guess a a food pun that doesn't have to be explained.

Speaker 1 Movie guessed a food pun.

Speaker 2 Movie guess a food punch.

Speaker 1 If you can make a food pun out of the movie's title, got it.

Speaker 1 I was getting confused.

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 say, I guess 1975, you could say, I know a movie from that year, Jaws. Jaws is from 1975.
I'm not really paying attention to the movie. The movie years.
No,

Speaker 1 this is like deep bullshit. Got it.
And then if you said Maws, like, you know, like a Jaws, I mean, like a Maws.

Speaker 1 Got it. Or, I mean, what is a different, what's another Jaws food pun? I guess food Jaws.
Food Jaws would get you a point, and you don't have to explain it.

Speaker 2 So, whatever it is, like you can just be like, it just counts.

Speaker 1 So, you get two points for that. You get two points for that.
Yeah. Yeah.
Anyway, you don't have one for a 1980.

Speaker 2 You just get one point for it.

Speaker 1 These two movies are. I can't.
I'm used to be good at this, and I can't name it.

Speaker 2 It's three to two, Mitch. We have one more, I believe.

Speaker 1 This is I'm a Hot Tomato. Two more, I think.
We have two more. Two more.
Let's do them. What's wrong with you? Only one more than one.
I'm overshooting it kind of every time.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's not in the email email out here that I pulled from, so I don't have it. Yeah, I only have four.
Let's do both of them. This is fun.
Well, we don't have it pulled, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't have it pulled, so we'll just do four. Yeah, let's do four.
Oh.

Speaker 1 I want to see it.

Speaker 1 Usually, the year is spoiled by the YouTube, so it has to be ripped and relabeled, but we can try it. But first, here's a

Speaker 1 hot tomato. I'm a hot tomato.

Speaker 1 When you dip into Campbell's tomato soup, this is that same style from like

Speaker 1 a music. this.
This is much later.

Speaker 2 We got some CD in here.

Speaker 1 And the

Speaker 1 dog.

Speaker 1 This commercial rock.

Speaker 1 This also seems like an Aguilera kind of rip-off.

Speaker 1 Oh, sure. It's in that world.
And the animation was a little worse. The animation was worse.
It seemed like when you got a new Mac, like the animation that we play when you turned on your new Mac.

Speaker 2 Who went first last time?

Speaker 1 Me.

Speaker 2 Okay, so Mitch, you're going first for this one.

Speaker 1 I don't remember. I don't remember.

Speaker 1 Maybe I didn't.

Speaker 1 No, I didn't. Oh, you didn't.
Yeah, you got it. You're not doing very well at this, but you're doing great.
You're doing great. Thank you so much.
I had so much fun watching that last one.

Speaker 1 I forgot that we were recording a podcast.

Speaker 1 We were just kind of having fun.

Speaker 1 We are having fun.

Speaker 1 You're right.

Speaker 1 So it was later for sure. And I'm wanting to say 90s.
Yes, I think it's 90s for sure. Let's say 93.
93. I think it might be earlier, but.

Speaker 1 1993. Okay.
What do you think, Mitch? I guess I'm really into going over.

Speaker 1 I'm not playing it safe.

Speaker 1 1993. I'm trying to think of a movie that came out.
No.

Speaker 1 I know a movie that came out in 1993. Oh my God.
Or is it 1994?

Speaker 1 Is it 1984? Because of how crazy that one was. It could be.

Speaker 1 Honestly, it could be. What with this mixed up? 1993.
I'm going to say this is later. I think this is like, I think it's 1997, but I'm going to go 1996.

Speaker 1 But I'm also going to say,

Speaker 1 hold on.

Speaker 1 Fun loading, food pun loading. Food pun loading.

Speaker 1 Churassic

Speaker 1 pork.

Speaker 1 Your guess is Jurassic Pork, which I changed to Jurassic Pork.

Speaker 2 I am just verifying.

Speaker 2 It was 1993. So, Mitch, you get two points here.

Speaker 1 Two pointies points. It's five to three.

Speaker 2 And what was your year? What year did you guess?

Speaker 1 I guess 1996. So

Speaker 2 you get an additional point. So Mitch is going to win here.

Speaker 1 Was it 1997? I can still turn it around. No, this is 2005.
Oh, my God. Oh my God, the year of Gravity.
I felt like it was way later, but I got a friend because I've been going

Speaker 1 Stefani. Stefani, no.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's a big part of it. It being kind of like Aguilera, like Mitch was saying.
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 2005. That's what Timestamp said.
There was one more. Do you want to do it? Yeah,

Speaker 1 because I think I could trigger it on YouTube.

Speaker 1 We could up the stakes here, too.

Speaker 1 I won't look at the YouTube. No, it's okay.

Speaker 1 It doesn't spoil the year. All right, great.

Speaker 1 The first comment is like, I can't believe 1997 was like.

Speaker 1 Like he said.

Speaker 1 This rules.

Speaker 1 Teddy Bear.

Speaker 1 Teddy Bear.

Speaker 1 Good.

Speaker 1 Teddy Bear soup from Campbell's. I'm the bear in there.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 Good fun for Campbell kids like you. Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 Very cool. This reminds me a lot of teddy bear soup.
This reminds me a lot of DJ Scat Cap, who was in the two steps forward, two steps back song with, was it Paula Abdul?

Speaker 2 Yes,

Speaker 1 so I because like you know, it could be doing it's like a later commercial, it's doing a retro thing. Well, here's also true.

Speaker 2 Here's the thing: I don't have the info on this one from Drop King, so if someone out, someone else will have to administer the year here,

Speaker 1 SNL 50.

Speaker 1 Okay, I think that let's watch that one now. Yeah, we gotta watch the SNL 50 video, okay?

Speaker 2 We'll watch that one.

Speaker 1 Actually, you know what? Just load up Land of Confusion if you wouldn't mind. Just to just, and we don't have to play the music, but we should just show the video as well.

Speaker 2 Let's let's start start with let's start with it with getting the the guesses here so um

Speaker 2 uh

Speaker 2 sandy you went first last time mitch it's your guess

Speaker 1 i'm trying not to go over i think this is 1993 which is what you guessed last time because i think it's right around then but

Speaker 1 i think it's a little later in 90s i don't want to go too much later i think i'm just going to go 1990 1990 which

Speaker 1 is the year of one of my favorite movies just as a

Speaker 1 sandy so you could you could you you could guess my favorite movie with a food pun.

Speaker 1 I like gangster pictures.

Speaker 1 I don't know really a lot of movies at all.

Speaker 1 I feel like it was earlier, maybe, but also a lot of them were 80s. So now I don't know, but I feel like it was earlier.
Yeah. I'm going to say 88.
88 is a great guess.

Speaker 2 What year was it?

Speaker 1 It was 1990.

Speaker 2 Wow, Mitch gets an additional two points.

Speaker 1 Wait, what did you guess? 1990.

Speaker 1 And what was your favorite movie? Goodfellas. Food Fellas.
Fabulous. Fabulous.
Yeah, I haven't seen most movies. Mitch takes it.

Speaker 1 I've gotten good at this game. Yeah, I will say that.
Have you? What's your record?

Speaker 2 I don't know if you've gotten good at this game.

Speaker 1 I'm pretty good at the game. Okay.
This is the land of confusion.

Speaker 1 Makes sense. I'm freaking confused.
Yeah, so for

Speaker 1 some reason.

Speaker 2 i mean what is this for our motheared audio listeners who are not this is like it's like a ronald reageta

Speaker 2 because we're not even playing the music yeah but i'm just like i'm just saying if you're not copyright if you're not viewing it then that and then it's got the genesis the band which had phil collins um they're all play they're all presented as puppets uh and there's also a chimp in the bed with the president and the first lady some searing political commentary there so there you go yeah reagan is kind of the the main the you know like he comes back in this.

Speaker 1 Yeah. He comes back.
And then all the members of Genesis that look kind of freaky. It was a freaky movie to see.
I mean, freaky movie. It was a freaky music video.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 I don't, I don't think I've ever seen this, but how about that?

Speaker 1 And they're detached. You never seen that? I don't remember this one.
This is like so weird without the music. Like just watching it silently.
I mean, this is a staple from the MTV in the 80s.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't remember this one. Wow.

Speaker 2 Hey, just that was Jingle All the Way, spelled W-H-E-Y. Shout out again to the Drop King for compiling these.
Just like a restaurant very feedback listener to the family.

Speaker 1 We put a DJ Scat Scatcat on it in silence in the back.

Speaker 2 We have to keep watching fucking shit.

Speaker 1 Let's just show a little DJ.

Speaker 2 You just like being distracted and not doing the pod.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's better than the pod. I mean, is there anything more fun than watching?

Speaker 1 I'm not sure what's going on recently because Amelia and I hadn't, I think Amelia hadn't seen it, or someone hadn't seen it. DJ Scatcat.
Amelia watched it.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 We don't have to put it up. Wags are pissed off.

Speaker 2 Today's email, you can put it up. Today's email is from Fort Lauderdale.
Dave on the Dough Score at FLD writes, Hi, Doughboys and Deus. I had a high degree.
Okay.

Speaker 1 What food would make the best bed?

Speaker 2 What tasty goods would be the best to sleep on? I would choose avocado. It'd be a little wet, but it would smoosh into it and make a form-fitting sleep spot.
P.S.

Speaker 2 Mitch, come down to Fort Lauderdale and I will take you to the historic Mai Kai for a tiki drink.

Speaker 1 How fun is that? I love that. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Avocado was the pitch. I have a pitch.

Speaker 1 I went to Paradise Lost in New York City. Great.
Okay. Right after McSorley's.
Avocado is. Avocado is a good thing.
McSorley's rice on the ground.

Speaker 1 That's true. Got the rice on the ground.

Speaker 1 Didn't let women in until like the 80s or something. It was a very

Speaker 1 an old school bar. I'll call it old school.
It's the place which was like dark beer, light beer, right? Yes, yeah.

Speaker 2 Those are the only two options.

Speaker 1 I gotta say, the video is good.

Speaker 2 Yeah, we're watching, again, for our moth-eared audio listeners. This is a, you're not, you're not seeing what we're seeing, but it is an animated cat and then live-action dancers.

Speaker 2 And there's a few different cats. It is a nice, it is a nice piece of animation.
I mean,

Speaker 1 what year is this? This is like 1990, maybe? I mean, like, it is that that sort of thing where I'm like, this is well done.

Speaker 1 Those cats are hot. Yeah, they're fucking gorgeous.
Yeah, 1989. Beautiful.
Opposites of true. 1989.

Speaker 1 Anyway. This is fucking good shit.
That's good. What the fuck has happened?

Speaker 2 I don't know. Shit, everything's gotten worse.

Speaker 2 There used to be more craft. Yeah.
I mean, it's just.

Speaker 1 You see Roger Rabbit, who framed Roger Rabbit, and you're like, we'll never make something as good as Who Frames Roger Rabbit again. That sucks.
That sucks. It's a bummer.
Why not?

Speaker 2 There's still some really good work going on out there.

Speaker 1 Sure. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I don't know.

Speaker 2 Watch like your name. That came out just a few years ago.
It's an incredible piece of animation. I want to.

Speaker 1 Watch your name. You would love your name.
You already know what you're doing. I'll watch that.
I will watch it. I want to watch the cat.
Potashinka. Oh, Flow.
Flow, too. I got to say Flow.

Speaker 1 Okay. When people say, have you seen the Flow movie? I really thought they were talking about progressive flow.

Speaker 2 Squeaky Hill MC Scat Cat.

Speaker 1 It's too distracting to you.

Speaker 1 Cats are getting you distracted. Here's what I was going to say.

Speaker 2 Avocado was a pitch for

Speaker 2 best bed. I think this is thematically.

Speaker 1 You just said a good answer. No, I was thinking, but hold on.
Hold on. Hold on.
Let me finish my thought.

Speaker 2 Thematically on point for today, not just bread, but a bread bowl. Give yourself a nice little bread coffin you can climb into and pull that bread lid over yourself and get some shut up.

Speaker 1 This sounds like Peter Pumpkin Eater bullshit.

Speaker 1 Which honestly, inside a pumpkin, pretty moist.

Speaker 1 i guess you get a little bit wet but but also wouldn't be bad no here's mine as long as you're not tiny and they wouldn't get you eaten or it wouldn't attract like bugs in any ways marshmallow marshmallows i was thinking marshmallow as well i was thinking marshmallow or bread yeah

Speaker 1 do you think a toast do you think do you think but jello like a jello mold a jello would be pretty good i mean also just like

Speaker 1 No, because the shape's not right. It would have to be like a flat.
I was thinking muffin, but it would have to be like flat on top. Muffin would be pretty good.
Muffin's pretty good.

Speaker 1 Muffin could be nice. So

Speaker 1 you don't want to sink through any of this. So it's that sort of thing of like,

Speaker 1 are you very tiny on the jello? Because if not, you'd fall through the jello. Right.

Speaker 2 No, it's huge. It's fucking huge.

Speaker 1 But like, imagine like a slice of brioche.

Speaker 2 Brioche is nice.

Speaker 1 Check in. But if it, but, okay, it's just huge.
It's fucking big. Yeah.
But if you were an ant size, you could walk on jello. Even if jello is big, you're not going to be able to walk on it.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm saying. Walk on jello if you were if you were Jesus, maybe.

Speaker 1 That's true. Yeah, jello Jesus, you could walk on it, but you can't walk on it any other way.

Speaker 2 It is strengthened in proportion to its enlarged size.

Speaker 1 You're not thinking physics, my man.

Speaker 2 No, that's how the physics works in this scenario. It's a beta.

Speaker 1 It's a beta physics, my man. All right, Brian.

Speaker 2 So you've been downsized. You've been downsizing.

Speaker 1 Now we're talking.

Speaker 1 But now this brings animals into it as well.

Speaker 2 You don't have to worry about the animals.

Speaker 1 Okay, you're in a downsizing area. You're in a downsizing area.

Speaker 2 You're in a

Speaker 2 fucking tranquil area. You're in a sanctuary.
It is a safe space. It is completely sanitary.
There is no way that anyone can get, any animals or bugs can get in. It is just you and your food stuff.

Speaker 2 So you can get a restful night's sleep. What food stuff is.

Speaker 1 You got the downsized Louis C.K. book.
It's not even stuck together. You got one unstuck on.

Speaker 1 Do you think the downsizers made bugs small too, just to for people to be like, I think so?

Speaker 2 Just to get used to them, but they're not in here.

Speaker 1 So you don't have to worry about that. Yeah.
Then jello is not a bad answer. It's also cool.
Jell-O's cool. So you're like, but it would melt eventually.
I guess that would be your issue.

Speaker 1 What's that stinky? Sticky bed. Sticky.

Speaker 1 Sticky bed. Yeah.
Mine's going to be sticky no matter what. All right.

Speaker 1 Let's end the show.

Speaker 1 Whether I mean the episode or the podcast itself. Let's just end.
