I'm gonna ask you, Chris, what's your favorite game day food? Smirnoff. Not your favorite game day drink.
What's your favorite game day food? Smirnoff.
Speaker 1
All right, here's the deal: game day is everything. The noise, the rituals, the passion, the dip, the wings, the dip again.
Spiritoff.
Speaker 1 Smirnoff off belongs in that mix because if you're tailgating or hosting or just sitting there checking your fantasy lineup every 30 seconds, you need Smearnoff. Otherwise, it's not a real game day.
Speaker 1
They've been doing it since 1864, which is, I don't even want to do the math. It's a long time.
It's like when Greg Cody was born. They're award-winning.

All right, so apparently, look, Taco Bell's awesome. Everyone loves Taco Bell.
Taco Bell was a huge go-to, like when I was in college. You had Gordita, you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 Jeremy, you tried something brand new at Taco Bell? The Mountain Dew Baja Blast Pie.
Speaker 2 What color? Unless they're a sponsor, which is
Speaker 1 a Baja Blast color? Yeah, it's the Baja Blast color. It's like a neon
Speaker 1 turquoise color, potentially.
Speaker 1
I would say the closest thing that it tastes like is key lime pie, but it doesn't taste like key lime pie. It tastes like Baja Blast.
It tastes like if key lime pie was candy.
Speaker 1 And I don't know how they did that in an actual pie. It's not fizzy.
Speaker 1
It's just, it's just a bunch of gloop is essentially what it is. It's not really like a normal pie.
Often
Speaker 1 that's often what pie is. Nah, but not
Speaker 1 eat.
Speaker 1 It's a different type of, the texture is, it all feels more artificial than anything I've ever tasted in my life. But not as bad as I thought it was going to be.
Speaker 2 This is a white elephant party?
Speaker 1 No, it was just a Friendsgiving, and they decided, yeah, a super white people party.
Speaker 1
It was a Friendsgiving, and there was just a decision made by the hosts to go, wow, I can't believe that exists. I'm going to go.
There were a bunch of other really delicious desserts.
Speaker 1
There was a pumpkin cheesecake. It was great.
Ooh, that sounds good. Wait a second, wait a second.
It's what, November 12th today? You've already done Friendsgiving? Yeah, me too.
Speaker 1
I did my busy schedules. You didn't mind this past year.
It's early.
Speaker 2 It was early. Someone did Friendsgiving October.
Speaker 1
Guys, that's all perfect. Oh, so you guys want to do it like back to back? That's crazy.
You spread it out. It was actually closer to Thanksgiving food.
Speaker 1 No, it was perfect because now I got to have Thanksgiving food, and I'm not going to be sick of that Thanksgiving food when I get to actual Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 So I got to take the leftovers, have some of those, gives me a gap before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 No, but if you ate too much of it,
Speaker 1 I want to enjoy.
Speaker 1
I love Thanksgiving food. And Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.
I'll have it seven nights a week. Every night.
Speaker 1 You guys are just saying that.
Speaker 2 Saz, you know about that heat turkey dinner?
Speaker 1 Oh, that's the best way they do that. It's the best.
Speaker 2
Oh, that media dining. You know, like, they're hit or miss over there.
but when it's turkey night,
Speaker 1 it was a real Baja Blast to eat it, though.
Speaker 1
Revelation, I do not like key lime pie. Really? Yeah, it's not for me.
I think pie in general is the worst of the desserts.
Speaker 1
Ooh, like, if you give me the cake though, ice cream, brownie, cookie, like, I'm going to go to pie last. I'm an ice cream cake guy.
I don't like regular cake. I don't eat regular cake.
Speaker 1
I literally don't eat regular cake. But ice cream cake with the little bullshits in them? The crunchies? Yeah.
I think ice cream cake is a little overrated. A little bullshit.
Speaker 2 Are you telling telling me that you don't like cake?
Speaker 1 No, I don't.
Speaker 2 It's like you said you're not a soda drinker.
Speaker 1
I don't eat cake and I don't drink soda. You got a cake eater's physique? Maybe it's ice cream cake.
You go diet soda? No, I don't drink soda. I don't know.
You liar.
Speaker 1
Man, you're not going to catch it. I dare you to find me drinking soda.
How do you explain your body then? I'm just living my life, man. Just living my life.
Speaker 1 Taco Bell.
Speaker 1
No. No, I don't.
I don't. No.
What do you eat? It's been a long time.
Speaker 1 Like, I don't eat a lot of fast food.
Speaker 1
I love Thai food. I don't know if you guys know that.
I I love Thai food. I love Italian food.
I love Sicilian pizza. Oh my God, Sicilian pizza is so good.
I don't know if you know that either.
Speaker 1
And what about at your age right now, if you had to do fast food for dinner? What drive-thru are you going? I like Wendy's. Yeah.
Yeah, I love Wendy's. Wendy's fries are my favorite.
Speaker 1
Give me the number five spice of chicken. All right.
I love this spicy. Obviously, love that.
Wendy's is great. That would be my go-to fast food as well.
Speaker 1 Do you like Wendy's fries over the goaded fries? I think Wendy's fries are the best. Yep, I love that.
Speaker 2 That's our fan.
Speaker 2 You ever done this, Tony? Like, where you're like, I'm going to get my fast food food from one place, but no fries. Let me stop by McDonald's.
Speaker 1
I'm ashamed I've done it once. You guys.
Wow, that is such a Christmas. I've never even done that.
That's ever done. It's a college move.
Now it's a college movie. Bad college movie.
Speaker 1
Have I ordered Uber Eats from multiple places? Maybe. No, you got to go and earn it.
You got to go and drive to those places to make it feel like you're doing something. Hold on a second.
Speaker 1
Let me order Uber Eats 90. I want to earn? I want to learn.
Hold on a second. When you do the multiple Uber Eats order, is the same driver picking up from two different places? No,
Speaker 1 that has happened to me before. And that is embarrassing.
Speaker 1
I don't often often feel shame. That one, I'm like, honey, you got to go get this one.
Hold on.
Speaker 2 I actually would think that's pretty cool if it's the same driver. Now, what would be embarrassing is if it's two drivers and they get there at the same time, you're like, that's embarrassing.
Speaker 1 This is awkward. You're like,
Speaker 1 yeah.
Speaker 1
I've also had that dilemma before where my wife orders something, and I'm like, all right, I'll have a side from there, but I don't really want that. So I'm going to.
So we have two cars and I had.
Speaker 1
And they're doing the Spider-Man meme when they get out. And I'm tracking both of them.
And I'm like, man, we need this one to hit a red light or else they're going to get here at the same time.
Speaker 1
You ever order the liquor via Uber Eats? No. Of course.
I love that. I love that.
Love it. I feel a little bit ashamed when my wife's like, What did you order?
Speaker 1
I'm like, Yeah, I just got this bottle of jack. I don't know.
It makes me feel a little bit like an alcoholic. And then all of a sudden, the Uber Eats driver is now like checking my ID.
Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, you gotta give it an ID.
Speaker 2
It's all about volume. You can't order just a bottle, you gotta go a bottle and then a six-pack of this, and like some tinsters.
Yep, so that's a whole order.
Speaker 1
That's my bust. Gotcha.
That's my bust. Sucker.
