That's good. That's a plus and it's a beautiful

00:00:52.909 --> 00:00:57.549
weekend to be inside enjoying life I agree, no

00:00:57.549 --> 00:00:59.090
doubt. It's just kind of gray and cold. A little

00:00:59.090 --> 00:01:01.909
gloomy. Yeah. Yeah, don't need that. At least

00:01:01.909 --> 00:01:04.469
in the region. I'm sure all you lovely listeners,

00:01:04.849 --> 00:01:07.329
Europeans, a shout out South America. What up?

00:01:07.629 --> 00:01:09.269
How's the weather down there? It's got to be

00:01:09.269 --> 00:01:11.549
nicer than here. Oh, I'm sure. Yeah, I'm sure

00:01:11.549 --> 00:01:14.709
our listeners in like Florida and Cali and places

00:01:14.709 --> 00:01:18.969
like that are like, um, yeah, no, not gray. Couldn't

00:01:18.969 --> 00:01:22.790
be me. Nope, not cold. But here in the region

00:01:22.790 --> 00:01:27.549
or Chicagoland, take your pick. It's great. And

00:01:27.549 --> 00:01:30.250
now the sun's coming out in here in our AK219

00:01:30.250 --> 00:01:34.250
studios. It is coming out. Beautiful. That's

00:01:34.250 --> 00:01:36.030
good. It's what we like to see. We like that.

00:01:36.469 --> 00:01:39.390
Yeah. Enough of this gray crap. Just make it

00:01:39.390 --> 00:01:42.969
sunny and 65 degrees, maybe year round. I think

00:01:42.969 --> 00:01:44.879
it'd be perfect. Is there a place in the world

00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.400
like that? If there is, hit us up. We're moving

00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.640
there. Yeah, hit us up. And how is immigration?

00:01:49.700 --> 00:01:52.700
Because I want to do that. Yeah. Like, sooner

00:01:52.700 --> 00:01:56.959
the better. I would agree. But anyway, yeah.

00:01:57.019 --> 00:02:00.299

Aidan Maloney, and... Kevin, Kevin Boland? Am

00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.479
I reading that right? Is he new? I'm not sure.

00:02:41.900 --> 00:02:43.479
He hasn't gotten back to me. He's already called

00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:47.719
off twice, so might be putting out a job offering

00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:51.300
here soon. I wouldn't blame you, to be completely

00:02:51.300 --> 00:02:55.900
honest. He's a rather entertaining gentleman,

00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.439
but... A distinguished gentleman. A distinguished

00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:03.889
gentleman. Quite. Curls his mustache. and smokes

00:03:03.889 --> 00:03:06.810
a cigarette with a long cigarette. What is that?

00:03:06.930 --> 00:03:08.990
I don't even know it. It probably has a name.

00:03:10.050 --> 00:03:11.990
Oh, yeah, like the little attachment you put

00:03:11.990 --> 00:03:14.770
to make it a long cigarette. Yeah. That says,

00:03:15.409 --> 00:03:18.349
like, hey, I'm a dirtbag smoker, but hey, I'm

00:03:18.349 --> 00:03:20.650
a sophisticated dirtbag smoker. Exactly, yeah.

00:03:20.930 --> 00:03:22.849
You could do it that way. That just reminds me

00:03:22.849 --> 00:03:25.409
of France, you know? It does. Something about

00:03:25.409 --> 00:03:28.629
long cigarettes just screams, I'm French. It

00:03:28.629 --> 00:03:30.770
really does. And then the French reminds me of

00:03:30.770 --> 00:03:33.569
that game we played that still pisses me off

00:03:33.569 --> 00:03:37.009
to this day. Passpartout. Passpartout. If you've

00:03:37.009 --> 00:03:39.710
never played the game, I encourage you to play

00:03:39.710 --> 00:03:41.669
it, but then rage quit it like we did. Yeah,

00:03:41.849 --> 00:03:45.590
that dirtbag Benjamin. Oh, that ass. We were

00:03:45.590 --> 00:03:48.750
cornering the art market. We were throwing some

00:03:48.750 --> 00:03:51.169
legit shit out there. Bangers. And then all of

00:03:51.169 --> 00:03:54.199
a sudden, Benjamin's is like, hmm. No, I do not

00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:57.360
like this anymore. He's bourgeoisie. I'm like,

00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:59.259
what are you talking about? We would never buy

00:03:59.259 --> 00:04:01.500
from you again. Yeah. And then everybody was

00:04:01.500 --> 00:04:02.979
like, oh yeah, yeah. We don't like your stuff.

00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.340
I was like, OK, I quit. This is enough for me.

00:04:07.460 --> 00:04:08.879
But anyway, smoke your cigarettes. That's fine.

00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:11.599
Go ahead. Go ahead. That's fine. At least you

00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.419
guys have national health care. Right, exactly.

00:04:14.419 --> 00:04:16.939
Must be nice. Yeah, like. You know, you get a

00:04:16.939 --> 00:04:19.180
cold, you get the flu. You can just go see a

00:04:19.180 --> 00:04:22.339
doctor and not worry about thousands of dollars

00:04:22.339 --> 00:04:23.519
in medical bills. Do you have to take your wallet

00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.540
out of your pocket? That would be a no. Yeah,

00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.160
no, not even I think. No. Interesting how that

00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:31.620
might work. But here, it's like you pretty much

00:04:31.620 --> 00:04:33.600
have to sell a kidney just to have a cold treated.

00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:35.600
Right. But you can't sell the kidney without

00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.259
talking to a doctor. So even that, you're not...

00:04:37.259 --> 00:04:38.519
You gotta get that consultation. Yeah. So you

00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:40.779
gotta pay for that too. Yeah. It's a hot house.

00:04:40.819 --> 00:04:42.920
A nightmare. It is a nightmare. The nightmare

00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:44.779
that is known as the United States of America.

00:04:44.779 --> 00:04:52.579
Let's go USA. USA. America. Anyway. Here in America,

00:04:52.579 --> 00:04:56.339
by the way, it is college basketball tournament

00:04:56.339 --> 00:04:58.939
time. And Aiden, that could only mean one thing.

00:05:00.019 --> 00:05:04.040
Basketball! Well, yeah, but... Tons of illegal

00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:08.420
gambling! Well, certainly, but... Cinderella

00:05:08.420 --> 00:05:12.339
stories, big time upsets. Well, yeah, sure. We

00:05:12.339 --> 00:05:15.259
love that, for sure. Chinese checkers, maybe?

00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.740
Chinese what? I don't know, I ran out of ideas.

00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:22.180
I'm gonna keep it a hundred with you. Well, that's

00:05:22.180 --> 00:05:26.560
fair. But no, it's March... Madness. Oh. Which

00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:31.180
means it's time for Munch Madness. Let's go.

00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:36.560
32 Foods and Snacks Battle to be the ultimate

00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.079
champion. Are you ready to go? I'm very excited.

00:05:39.310 --> 00:05:42.949
All right. And opinionated. That I know. As the

00:05:42.949 --> 00:05:45.089
Lord intended. As the Lord intended. Now, we

00:05:45.089 --> 00:05:47.370
have broken down, we're not doing 64 because

00:05:47.370 --> 00:05:50.110
that would be, that'd be insane. I'd be putting

00:05:50.110 --> 00:05:52.230
like grapes on here. Right. That'd be the full

00:05:52.230 --> 00:05:54.910
episode. That'd be the full episode. There's

00:05:54.910 --> 00:05:56.750
no reason for it. If we were on Patreon, we'd

00:05:56.750 --> 00:06:00.610
be like, hey, catch the full 128 snacks. Yeah,

00:06:00.730 --> 00:06:02.649
nah, we're not, nah, nah, nah. We're not doing

00:06:02.649 --> 00:06:07.889
that. But I do have four brackets, eight teams

00:06:07.889 --> 00:06:12.339
each. And the first one we've got is the snack

00:06:12.339 --> 00:06:16.220
bracket. That's exciting. Snack bracket. We are

00:06:16.220 --> 00:06:20.420
a snacky family. So trust me when I say, no question,

00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:22.740
I left some out. But this is 18. We've got to

00:06:22.740 --> 00:06:25.740
make some tough cuts. That's true. And now we

00:06:25.740 --> 00:06:27.699
can do one of two ways. Either you and I can

00:06:27.699 --> 00:06:29.360
be in agreement, like we do on the tier list

00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:35.110
kind of stuff. And. move snacks and foods along,

00:06:35.569 --> 00:06:38.230
or we can just kind of make our own picks. Oh,

00:06:38.230 --> 00:06:40.709
that is tough. Come to different conclusions.

00:06:41.050 --> 00:06:43.610
Yeah, what do you think? I think we have to do

00:06:43.610 --> 00:06:46.470
it cooperatively. OK. Yeah, because there's not

00:06:46.470 --> 00:06:49.689
two winners in March Madness. There's got to

00:06:49.689 --> 00:06:51.810
be just one winner. And there's always a winner

00:06:51.810 --> 00:06:53.029
when you have a bunch of snacks in front of you.

00:06:53.029 --> 00:06:55.850
That's very true. So all right, here we go. This

00:06:55.850 --> 00:07:01.389
is the snack bracket. The eight seed Twinkies.

00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:05.579
Ooh, big underdogs, but. Versus number one, potato

00:07:05.579 --> 00:07:08.860
chips. And that's an all -encompassing. Wide

00:07:08.860 --> 00:07:12.319
-range. Kettle chips, cheddar, sour cream, pickle,

00:07:12.500 --> 00:07:14.740
ketchup, all that stuff. Right. All dressed up.

00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:17.920
So the all -dressed from Canada, those are so

00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:19.420
good. Oh, yeah, man. What is it with Canadian

00:07:19.420 --> 00:07:22.300
and just being. Better. Better. Better things.

00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:26.720
Yeah. Yeah. It's a thing. It is. Weird. I like

00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.879
their flag better, too. Sorry, America. Big maple

00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.680
leaf. Big maple leaf. Big red leaf. Keep it simple.

00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:35.139
Keep it simple. Tells me about your country.

00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.959
Yeah. Hey, we got maple trees, maple syrup, maple

00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:40.240
things. You're welcome. Very cool. Yeah. Oh,

00:07:40.259 --> 00:07:44.100
yeah. I love that. One time I was up there, and

00:07:44.100 --> 00:07:47.160
I mean, I've got the natural maple syrup and

00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:50.519
all that kind of stuff when I go. Certain liquors,

00:07:50.540 --> 00:07:52.899
if you will, at the Duty Free. We love Duty Free.

00:07:53.819 --> 00:07:58.800
But I think it was maybe like an English tea

00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:00.660
shop, but they like had a little bakery in it.

00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:04.800
And they had these maple cream cookies. Oh damn.

00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:08.300
Oh damn, that's right. I was like, um I'm gonna

00:08:08.300 --> 00:08:10.339
be a complete fat ass and I'm gonna eat this

00:08:10.339 --> 00:08:13.620
entire box of cookies right now. You know what?

00:08:13.980 --> 00:08:15.959
Not that we're sponsored by them, but I love

00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:19.000
shouting out Aldi just because they're just better

00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:20.939
than every other grocery store in America. That's

00:08:20.939 --> 00:08:25.959
fair. They have maple cream cookies. I think

00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:29.199
they might be Canadian too. So they may be the

00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.459
ones that well now you just think they and you

00:08:31.459 --> 00:08:34.539
just opened up I know whole can of arms hair

00:08:34.539 --> 00:08:36.700
I know if those are the ones you're thinking

00:08:36.700 --> 00:08:38.779
of because if they were baking them in -house

00:08:38.779 --> 00:08:41.960
in Canada Yeah, then probably not but I've tried

00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:45.100
the ones from Aldi. They're pretty damn good.

00:08:45.100 --> 00:08:47.980
Oh, are they? Yeah, all right. Okay. Nope to

00:08:47.980 --> 00:08:51.159
self Yeah, stop at all these later today. Oh,

00:08:51.259 --> 00:08:54.169
man All right, so we got number one potato chips,

00:08:54.350 --> 00:08:56.570
number eight Twinkies. Do Twinkies have a shot

00:08:56.570 --> 00:08:59.490
in hell here? I don't think so. I mean, everyone

00:08:59.490 --> 00:09:05.529
loves a good upset, but the one seed is really

00:09:05.529 --> 00:09:08.250
strong. One seed strong. Really strong. You know,

00:09:08.389 --> 00:09:09.710
chips, you could sit there and just munch on

00:09:09.710 --> 00:09:12.190
them on your own, having a sandwich or a burger

00:09:12.190 --> 00:09:14.870
or whatever. I mean, just like so many applications

00:09:14.870 --> 00:09:18.009
of said chip and different types of chips, the

00:09:18.009 --> 00:09:20.129
kettle chip, ruffles or laser, anything like

00:09:20.129 --> 00:09:24.759
that. Just I think Twinkies are just it's not

00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.000
gonna work for them Yeah, chips got too much

00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:29.340
talent on the bench a lot of depth on that team.

00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:33.519
Absolutely Twinkies. I mean you kind of uh You

00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.200
kind of a one -horse Kind of operation operation.

00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:40.659
Yeah, right. I mean you got the cream I get it.

00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:42.820
You got a shelf life of a million years. Yeah,

00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:45.360
I get it I feel like all of the hostess and little

00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:48.259
Debbie products have gotten worse over the last

00:09:48.259 --> 00:09:49.899
decade or two. That's fair, because they shut

00:09:49.899 --> 00:09:51.740
down and then they reopened. When they reopened,

00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:53.759
it was like, wait a minute, this isn't quite

00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:56.059
the same. Everything tasted filmy, leaves that

00:09:56.059 --> 00:09:58.519
weird oil in your mouth, whatever kind of weird

00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:00.639
Crisco shortening bullshit they put in there.

00:10:00.779 --> 00:10:04.700
That's fair. Yeah. Potato chips, big dub. So

00:10:04.700 --> 00:10:07.059
big dub for the potato chips. That's a double

00:10:07.059 --> 00:10:08.980
digit victory. Not even a close game. Not even

00:10:08.980 --> 00:10:11.960
a close game. We now move to the very challenging

00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.629
four or five. At the fourth seed, we have pretzels.

00:10:15.809 --> 00:10:17.889
Once again, this all encompassing. If you prefer

00:10:17.889 --> 00:10:20.409
pretzel rods, or the little rings, or those dots

00:10:20.409 --> 00:10:23.370
pretzels, man. Oh, don't even get me started.

00:10:23.970 --> 00:10:26.350
Unbelievable. The butter braid, which I always

00:10:26.350 --> 00:10:30.370
kind of like to. Pretzels, very solid four, against

00:10:30.370 --> 00:10:35.669
the number five cheesy poofs. Oh, man. Cheesy

00:10:35.669 --> 00:10:37.950
poofs. I love me some cheesy poofs. And once

00:10:37.950 --> 00:10:41.070
again, the only thing I think that keeps me from

00:10:41.070 --> 00:10:43.909
eating an entire bag of Cheetos cheesy poofs

00:10:43.909 --> 00:10:47.509
is the fact my hands are absolutely coated. They're

00:10:47.509 --> 00:10:49.470
caked, yeah. After like half the bag and then

00:10:49.470 --> 00:10:51.830
you're like, okay, I've had enough. Right. Because

00:10:51.830 --> 00:10:54.110
it is all over my hands. Yeah, the evidence is

00:10:54.110 --> 00:10:56.090
there. The evidence is there, right. You can't

00:10:56.090 --> 00:10:58.250
be like, were you in the kitchen snacking? And

00:10:58.250 --> 00:10:59.850
you're like, no. And you sit there and you're

00:10:59.850 --> 00:11:02.629
as orange as Trump is. Yeah, you're like, no.

00:11:02.909 --> 00:11:07.169
Right, yet cheesy poofs are fantastic, but I

00:11:07.169 --> 00:11:11.750
will say they have been categorized as poofs

00:11:11.750 --> 00:11:17.230
meaning the crunchy Cheetos or Maybe even like

00:11:17.230 --> 00:11:20.909
you know that pirate's booty. Yes that Popcorn

00:11:20.909 --> 00:11:24.070
esque mm -hmm thing I don't know would that fall

00:11:24.070 --> 00:11:27.129
under cheesy poofs Because that would add some

00:11:27.129 --> 00:11:30.450
depth to this team because I am I'm gonna tell

00:11:30.450 --> 00:11:34.039
you I'm leaning a little bit pretzel Well, that's

00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:36.200
and that is fair. And like I said, this is an

00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:39.440
all encompassing category. So cheesy poofs, it

00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.639
could be just the big poofy cheesy things. But

00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:44.759
like you said, the pirate's booty is kind of

00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:48.919
that way. There's also like this popcorn stuff

00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.200
that's kind of the same consistency that Cheetos

00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:57.240
does. It's also kind of a poof. Yeah. So I guess

00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:00.600
you could kind of throw it in the. Oh, but I

00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.200
guess cheesy poofs, you also get cheese balls.

00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.360
And cheese balls is a strong player. Now, cheese

00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:10.539
balls is a strong player. Ooh. Oh, no. Yeah,

00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:15.399
now this is tough. Because pretzels are great.

00:12:15.419 --> 00:12:18.259
Because you sit there, and you do pretzels, right?

00:12:18.539 --> 00:12:21.279
So you've got pretzels, and they're great with

00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.299
beer. It might be the ultimate beer snack. Right.

00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.360
Is a pretzel. You'd even dip the pretzels in

00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:30.419
beer cheese while drinking beer. Now that's an

00:12:30.419 --> 00:12:32.659
idea. That's, I think you just opened a black

00:12:32.659 --> 00:12:36.200
hole. Yeah. That's something. If this game was

00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:38.120
close, that might have been the definitive three

00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:41.679
that puts it away. That puts it away. Yeah, I

00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:43.980
dig it. You go to German places with the German

00:12:43.980 --> 00:12:47.379
beer and the big mugs that they have, and they'll

00:12:47.379 --> 00:12:49.659
just drop a big old pretzel right in there. Yeah.

00:12:50.539 --> 00:12:53.539
So yeah, this is a tough four or five. It is

00:12:53.539 --> 00:12:56.950
a very tough four or five. I think... I'm slightly

00:12:56.950 --> 00:12:59.049
team pretzel because I feel like team pretzels

00:12:59.049 --> 00:13:03.690
got the versatility to Perhaps you could go with

00:13:03.690 --> 00:13:05.529
sweet route. I mean you got those pretzel rods

00:13:05.529 --> 00:13:08.590
dipped in chocolate white chocolate drizzle You

00:13:08.590 --> 00:13:10.909
you you I think you just tipped it. Yeah, I think

00:13:10.909 --> 00:13:13.789
you just took it with that one I was not I was

00:13:13.789 --> 00:13:15.710
not thinking about that but at Christmas time,

00:13:15.750 --> 00:13:17.669
right people get those pretzel rods with the

00:13:17.669 --> 00:13:20.409
dark chocolate. Oh, yeah Talk about something.

00:13:20.450 --> 00:13:22.470
I will eat about ten. Oh, yes. Oh my god. Those

00:13:22.470 --> 00:13:25.799
are great I think you just, I think you hit the

00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:28.120
three point winner at the buzzer. At the buzzer.

00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:30.200
That's a close match. On that one, so I think

00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:32.779
Pretzels just narrowly defeats Cheesy Pooch.

00:13:32.779 --> 00:13:37.159
Yeah. We're now to the 2 -7. And I know this

00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:40.840
could be a very easy one for Aiden. Number two,

00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:44.379
Cheez -Its. It's a great team. That is a beautiful

00:13:44.379 --> 00:13:47.899
team. And number seven, Jerky Products. Your

00:13:47.899 --> 00:13:50.720
beef jerky, your venison. Venison's right. All

00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:55.919
that. Now... Some might call me bias and you're

00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:59.259
right, but I fuck with cheese. It's heavy. Oh,

00:13:59.259 --> 00:14:02.679
yeah They got the original fantastic. They got

00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:05.580
the white cheddar Fantastic not sponsored, but

00:14:05.580 --> 00:14:08.899
I wish they would I This could be a blowout.

00:14:08.899 --> 00:14:12.200
But then again Beef, turkey is really great.

00:14:12.580 --> 00:14:14.580
You get that. There's this there's this one.

00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:18.159
It's like peppered So it's got kind of that pepper

00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:20.820
kick to it. Yeah, and it's so good. You got the

00:14:20.820 --> 00:14:24.250
ones now that are They're a little bit more meaty

00:14:24.250 --> 00:14:26.009
than your standard jerky, and they're like in

00:14:26.009 --> 00:14:28.169
the bites little bites Yeah, those are really

00:14:28.169 --> 00:14:30.509
good to those are fantastic, and then I think

00:14:30.509 --> 00:14:33.129
it's called like bill toying or something like

00:14:33.129 --> 00:14:36.590
that It's jerky esque very very good very pricey

00:14:36.590 --> 00:14:39.269
though. I think that's the conclusion. I'm coming

00:14:39.269 --> 00:14:43.490
to is Jerky, I mean they they got they got that

00:14:43.490 --> 00:14:47.830
NiL money for them players That's pricey pricey

00:14:47.830 --> 00:14:51.269
stuff, but you Sometimes you take a game bowl

00:14:51.309 --> 00:14:55.409
You spend that $13 on a bag of jerky and half

00:14:55.409 --> 00:14:58.669
of them are like biting through rocks. That can

00:14:58.669 --> 00:15:02.250
happen. Like that's not a $13 a snack. No. Whereas

00:15:02.250 --> 00:15:05.629
Cheez -Its are solid every time. Yeah. So jerky's

00:15:05.629 --> 00:15:07.970
that big beefy meaty team that just they could

00:15:07.970 --> 00:15:10.909
just lay down and crunch time. Exactly. Yeah.

00:15:11.149 --> 00:15:13.629
That's good. Where Cheez -Its is just a balanced

00:15:13.629 --> 00:15:16.990
squad. Yes. Goes out there, gives their 100 %

00:15:16.990 --> 00:15:19.250
every time. Never lets you down. They're good.

00:15:19.590 --> 00:15:23.139
That's true. You know? I'm a Cheez -It man. So

00:15:23.139 --> 00:15:25.700
we're saying Cheez -It's a solid victory. Solid

00:15:25.700 --> 00:15:28.879
victory, yeah. I love that. Snack bracket, not

00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:31.360
a lot of upsets so far. Nope, that's pretty much

00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:34.159
the chalk as we go along. However, this one could

00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:39.159
get interesting. Number three, popcorn. It's

00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:42.840
pretty wide. Versus number six, Doritos. Ooh,

00:15:43.659 --> 00:15:48.519
I like both. Yeah. especially when you talk movie

00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:51.899
theater because I'm very much the moviegoer and

00:15:51.899 --> 00:15:55.220
obviously I do reviews and things like that for

00:15:55.220 --> 00:15:58.799
my magazine article and other stuff so I'm I'm

00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:02.679
a semi regular moviegoer I'm almost more excited

00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:04.220
unless it's like a Marvel movie or something

00:16:04.220 --> 00:16:07.019
I'm really amped up to see I'm more excited because

00:16:07.019 --> 00:16:09.740
I'm like oh my god I get to get a big tub of

00:16:09.740 --> 00:16:14.039
buttery popcorn and I can't wait very true I

00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:17.019
mean popcorn is pretty encompassing because,

00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:19.460
as we were talking about earlier, that pirate's

00:16:19.460 --> 00:16:22.580
booty is kind of a popcorn -esque cheesy poof,

00:16:22.700 --> 00:16:24.919
but then you also get that white cheddar -bagged

00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:27.700
popcorn off of store shelves. That's really good.

00:16:27.700 --> 00:16:30.600
Oh, that's good too. Yeah. That's good stuff.

00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:34.179
Microwave popcorn so you get it hot. That's so

00:16:34.179 --> 00:16:37.820
true. And microwave popcorn's cheap. I mean,

00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:40.940
a family -sized bag of Doritos is like $6 now,

00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:43.710
$6, $7. It's expensive. And from what I heard

00:16:43.710 --> 00:16:47.029
they had red dye number one or five or whatever

00:16:47.029 --> 00:16:49.889
it is which I guess now is banned Oh, yeah, I

00:16:49.889 --> 00:16:52.090
think it's it's banned in the US. I think it's

00:16:52.090 --> 00:16:55.090
been banned in the EU for a while Yeah, but yeah,

00:16:55.110 --> 00:16:57.470
I was recently looking at the back of a bag of

00:16:57.470 --> 00:16:59.750
Doritos like the Cool Ranch ones and there's

00:16:59.750 --> 00:17:02.429
like several different artificial colorings in

00:17:02.429 --> 00:17:05.369
there. I'm like You're a fucking tortilla chip.

00:17:05.369 --> 00:17:08.130
You don't need that You've got enough flavor.

00:17:08.250 --> 00:17:10.609
You don't have to convince me of it. Exactly.

00:17:10.849 --> 00:17:14.309
That is very true. So there's a little dirt on

00:17:14.309 --> 00:17:17.849
that team. A little bit. I would agree with that.

00:17:18.230 --> 00:17:21.170
It's slightly tarnished. Right. It's not deflate

00:17:21.170 --> 00:17:23.660
gate, but it's pretty close. But like Cheez -Its,

00:17:23.779 --> 00:17:27.240
I think popcorn is just an all around solid squad,

00:17:27.700 --> 00:17:30.079
whether you put cheese on it or you throw butter

00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:32.519
on there. You can throw lots of stuff on there.

00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:34.380
You can drizzle chocolate on popcorn, too. That's

00:17:34.380 --> 00:17:37.019
true. That's very true. Doritos do not have that

00:17:37.019 --> 00:17:39.339
versatility, although you could crumble them

00:17:39.339 --> 00:17:42.480
up and use them as like the crunch top of a baked

00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:45.960
mac and cheese. You could do that. That is an

00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:48.759
interesting thing you could do, but I am. I'm

00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:51.920
leaning popcorn from the versatility, from the

00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:54.740
experiences that goes around with it, because

00:17:54.740 --> 00:17:57.599
both popcorn and Doritos do leave a coating on

00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:01.480
the hands, but popcorn's just a little oil. Whereas

00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:07.539
Doritos, you get that Cheetos experience, knowing

00:18:07.539 --> 00:18:10.559
damn well your hands are now coated in that yucky,

00:18:10.619 --> 00:18:15.400
artificial color. I'm a popcorn guy. I'm a popcorn

00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:19.380
guy too. I think Doritos is a strong six seed,

00:18:20.140 --> 00:18:23.500
but popcorn I think is just a better squad. I

00:18:23.500 --> 00:18:25.099
think you're right. I think it's a better squad,

00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:28.039
so it's a solid victory for them. Now the next

00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:30.380
question is, should we finish the bracket or

00:18:30.380 --> 00:18:32.019
get to the next one and the next one and then

00:18:32.019 --> 00:18:34.619
we break it down as we go along? I think we can

00:18:34.619 --> 00:18:37.000
clap this bracket closed. All right, let's do

00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:38.660
it. And then hit up the next ones. All right,

00:18:38.660 --> 00:18:41.160
I love it. We have four teams left in the snack

00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:44.710
bracket, Aidan. And chips are up against pretzels.

00:18:44.730 --> 00:18:49.930
Oh, man. One versus four. Big one, four. Big

00:18:49.930 --> 00:18:52.970
one, four. Now, one thing we didn't talk about,

00:18:52.990 --> 00:18:55.150
I guess, which is health factors, I think pretzels

00:18:55.150 --> 00:18:58.490
are probably a little bit healthier for you than

00:18:58.490 --> 00:19:02.549
a chip. Arguably, yeah. Well, depending what's

00:19:02.549 --> 00:19:04.970
on the pretzel. Because that has a lot of sodium.

00:19:05.390 --> 00:19:07.890
Depending what type of chip, because some chips

00:19:07.890 --> 00:19:10.460
are just - Are baked. Yeah. They're just oil,

00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:13.579
salt, and potato. That's true. Whereas pretzels,

00:19:13.660 --> 00:19:16.460
I mean, you're making a dough and then, you know,

00:19:16.700 --> 00:19:20.319
pretzel -ifying it. So I think arguably they're

00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:25.319
both carb -based products. Right. But you're

00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:28.019
talking snacks, right? We're not comparing. Nope,

00:19:28.099 --> 00:19:30.119
we're talking a snack. Yeah, we're not comparing

00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:35.019
celery with cucumbers or anything. I... Oh, man,

00:19:35.019 --> 00:19:39.670
I'm really torn. Because I'm not... a giant potato

00:19:39.670 --> 00:19:45.809
chip guy. Yeah. But I do recognize their superiority

00:19:45.809 --> 00:19:48.230
and the authority they bring to the table. They

00:19:48.230 --> 00:19:51.049
do. But I'm leaning pretzels. You have to break

00:19:51.049 --> 00:19:53.630
me out of that. I'm leaning pretzel. Yeah. Once

00:19:53.630 --> 00:19:55.890
again, I just think you look at a chip and you

00:19:55.890 --> 00:19:58.410
look at that versatility, right? And you've got

00:19:58.410 --> 00:20:02.410
this chip so you can have and trust me, I know

00:20:02.410 --> 00:20:05.609
pretzels is similar in some fashions, but like

00:20:05.609 --> 00:20:08.880
you got chips and dip. or you've got, you can

00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:11.559
just eat them out of the bag. That's true. Or,

00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:15.180
you know, you can, you can do a lot of different

00:20:15.180 --> 00:20:17.000
culinary things with the chip. You can put the

00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:20.740
chip on a sandwich, in a sandwich. Oh, that's

00:20:20.740 --> 00:20:23.460
true. That chips in that, like, lunch meat sandwich.

00:20:23.619 --> 00:20:27.079
Yeah, man. Damn. You know, and I gotta say, when

00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:28.480
you eat peanut butter and jelly, and then you

00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:31.259
got that chip, so you've got that savory, sweet

00:20:31.259 --> 00:20:34.180
balance, and that chip kicks in. That is a good

00:20:34.180 --> 00:20:36.900
balance. It's a really good balance. If we're

00:20:36.900 --> 00:20:38.940
including the French onion dip, which by the

00:20:38.940 --> 00:20:41.599
way, like the French onion ranch dip. Yeah, oh

00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:44.420
yeah. That can go well with both pretzels and

00:20:44.420 --> 00:20:48.079
chips, but I feel it definitely pairs more often

00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:51.539
with chips. I think so too. Or that Ruffles ranch

00:20:51.539 --> 00:20:53.819
dip. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That one is solid

00:20:53.819 --> 00:20:57.680
too. But I think that one can easily be for a

00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:01.599
pretzel or a chip. Right, that goes both ways.

00:21:02.099 --> 00:21:07.240
For sure. This is, this is tough. This is, man.

00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:09.880
I'm pretty close to 50 -50. You'll have to tie

00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:13.099
break. I know. God, I don't know. All right,

00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:17.299
in the interest of time, let's, since chips,

00:21:17.940 --> 00:21:20.559
I think, is a little bit more rounded, I think.

00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:23.220
when you go out and you have a sandwich, or you're

00:21:23.220 --> 00:21:25.619
at home and you have a sandwich, or you're having

00:21:25.619 --> 00:21:29.160
chips with it. So I think it's just a little

00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:32.140
bit more versatile. Once again, I think this

00:21:32.140 --> 00:21:35.599
is a close two or three point victory for the

00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:38.720
chip. But the pretzel was a very strong four.

00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:42.220
Strong four. But the one goes on. The one goes

00:21:42.220 --> 00:21:44.539
on, and that leaves us with Cheez -Its versus

00:21:44.539 --> 00:21:48.980
popcorn. Oh, man. That's tough. That is a challenge.

00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:51.660
That's a good 2 -3 right there. I told my friend

00:21:51.660 --> 00:21:54.960
the other day with Cheez -Its, one thing that

00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:57.859
I did one time, I had maybe like a fourth of

00:21:57.859 --> 00:22:01.200
a bag left and I was making some chicken. And

00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:03.480
if anybody that knows me and has had my fried

00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:05.819
chicken knows that I make pretty good fried chicken.

00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:09.960
One time I took them and I left them in the bag

00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:12.960
and curled up the bag and then Lightly with a

00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:15.220
tenderizer smashed it into a Cheez -It powder,

00:22:15.460 --> 00:22:18.359
which I then put into the flour mixture of the

00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:21.539
chicken. That's genius. It was amazing. That

00:22:21.539 --> 00:22:24.460
is genius. It was really, really good. Something

00:22:24.460 --> 00:22:27.099
you can't do with popcorn. Something you cannot

00:22:27.099 --> 00:22:30.119
do with popcorn. I'm gonna let my bias speak

00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:32.279
again. I think Cheez -It pulls away with this

00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:38.279
one. You do. I think I do. And it's purely just

00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:41.380
bias. I have no facts to back this up. We were

00:22:41.380 --> 00:22:44.440
just talking in the popcorn versus Dorito match,

00:22:44.740 --> 00:22:49.440
how close it was and how strong popcorn is in

00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:53.460
Versatile, but Cheez -Its is so good. Yeah, I

00:22:53.460 --> 00:22:55.319
will give that one to you, even though I'm a

00:22:55.319 --> 00:23:00.960
huge popcorn fan myself. I too love Cheez -Its.

00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:03.599
Actually, there's a knockoff Cheez -It called

00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:06.480
Cheese Nips. Now, I haven't seen them out and

00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:08.180
about in a while, so I don't know if they make

00:23:08.180 --> 00:23:10.799
them anymore. Oh, right. I think it's just a

00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:12.960
different bakery. I'm trying to remember who

00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:15.460
makes Cheez -Its, is there? Cheez -Its is Kellogg.

00:23:15.900 --> 00:23:19.400
It's Kellogg? Yeah. So Cheez -Nips might be Nabisco?

00:23:19.859 --> 00:23:22.440
Nabisco, could be Frito -Lay. Could be. Yeah.

00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:24.599
But the Cheez -Nips I thought had like a little

00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:26.700
bit of a different cheesy flavor, and I always

00:23:26.700 --> 00:23:28.859
like those too. Yeah. And then there's those

00:23:28.859 --> 00:23:32.640
little circular ones, cheddar... something or

00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:35.480
other. They're like a little circle cheddar cheese

00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:38.930
cracker. Oh. Those are pretty good too, and I

00:23:38.930 --> 00:23:41.910
can't remember who makes those but Yeah, you

00:23:41.910 --> 00:23:44.349
know I will like I said I live for popcorn man

00:23:44.349 --> 00:23:46.329
Especially when I'm watching the movies right,

00:23:46.670 --> 00:23:49.150
but I do have to say when I'm not watching a

00:23:49.150 --> 00:23:52.849
movie. I don't have it a lot That is true. Yeah,

00:23:53.069 --> 00:23:55.509
I don't have it a lot now if I have a bag of

00:23:55.509 --> 00:23:58.819
microwave popcorn I'll make it and I'll melt

00:23:58.819 --> 00:24:00.319
a little butter and I'll put that on the top

00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:02.920
of it and then it's Close to what you get the

00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:04.980
movie theater, but I don't do that all the time

00:24:04.980 --> 00:24:07.119
And it's like I strictly kind of have it in the

00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:09.619
am I watching a movie category there cheese It's

00:24:09.619 --> 00:24:11.880
you can just eat anywhere right time so I use

00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:14.319
it cheese. It's it cheese It's moves on or under

00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:18.500
the one to the one to chalk matchup cheese. It's

00:24:18.500 --> 00:24:23.339
chips. I This is too difficult. I know and this

00:24:23.339 --> 00:24:26.180
is just the first bracket. Oh man the first bracket

00:24:26.180 --> 00:24:32.079
I There's gotta be a tiebreaker here, because

00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:36.099
you know I lean Cheez -Its, but we did just talk

00:24:36.099 --> 00:24:42.099
up the versatility of chips. And you could crunch

00:24:42.099 --> 00:24:44.940
up chips and put them in fried chicken batter,

00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:47.420
too. It would almost make it Panko -esque. Yes,

00:24:47.420 --> 00:24:52.180
you can. So this is on you, man. Oh, thank you.

00:24:52.180 --> 00:24:54.119
I appreciate that. This game is too close to

00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:57.849
call. It's too close to call. But once again,

00:24:58.309 --> 00:25:01.529
I'm just gonna go with the versatility of the

00:25:01.529 --> 00:25:04.190
chip. Although Cheez -Its are pretty versatile

00:25:04.190 --> 00:25:08.890
too. But Cheez -Its are Cheez -Its, just cheese.

00:25:09.130 --> 00:25:12.109
That's true. Where chips, you have cheese flavored

00:25:12.109 --> 00:25:15.890
chips. You got barbecue. Pickle barbecue. So

00:25:15.890 --> 00:25:19.650
I think that versatility, I think all of the

00:25:19.650 --> 00:25:24.009
different types. Kettle baked. Right. Do you

00:25:24.009 --> 00:25:26.670
even have Pringles? Pringles, which we didn't

00:25:26.670 --> 00:25:28.849
talk about. Yeah. Pringles might be. By the way,

00:25:28.970 --> 00:25:32.230
Pringles, not that I'm gonna get on my soap box

00:25:32.230 --> 00:25:35.529
here, but oh wait, there it is. Yes, I am. All

00:25:35.529 --> 00:25:38.210
I have to say is this, okay? Pringles are good.

00:25:38.529 --> 00:25:40.789
It's almost not a chip. It's weird, because like

00:25:40.789 --> 00:25:43.690
you eat it and it's a chip, but it's not, because

00:25:43.690 --> 00:25:46.029
there's no other chip that tastes like it or

00:25:46.029 --> 00:25:49.970
has the consistency of it. It's like they take

00:25:49.970 --> 00:25:53.470
the potato away from the potato and then like

00:25:53.470 --> 00:25:57.970
turn it back into potato to make the chip. And,

00:25:58.349 --> 00:26:01.150
okay, I'm a guy, I've got a big hand. Ah, the

00:26:01.150 --> 00:26:04.269
tube. Assholes, what are you doing? It's like

00:26:04.269 --> 00:26:07.450
you provide this delicious snack and then kind

00:26:07.450 --> 00:26:10.450
of be like, ha, good luck. Yeah, and then like

00:26:10.450 --> 00:26:12.829
you flip the tube over because it's too, your

00:26:12.829 --> 00:26:13.970
hand is too big to get in. And then the crumbs

00:26:13.970 --> 00:26:17.390
come out. Right, and then the very fragile potato

00:26:17.390 --> 00:26:21.680
-esque chip breaks. They break. They do. That's

00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:23.940
the whole point of it being in a tube is so less

00:26:23.940 --> 00:26:27.019
break, but then the tube is its downfall. It

00:26:27.019 --> 00:26:30.160
is because you can't get to said snack. It's

00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:32.039
almost like, excuse me miss, can I borrow your

00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:33.680
five -year -old? Yeah, can you reach in there

00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:36.079
and grab a few chips for me? Thanks dude. Because

00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:37.720
it's just there's no way you're getting your

00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:39.839
big pot. Right. It's just not gonna happen. You

00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:42.000
can't do it with chopsticks. They'll break the

00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:44.279
chip. Yeah. You can't do it with like those little

00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:46.460
sticky grabby hands. Yeah, so now you're fingering

00:26:46.460 --> 00:26:49.850
it. Right. You're putting your fingers... hole

00:26:49.850 --> 00:26:56.210
and you're hmm hmm anyway Pringles so Pringles

00:26:56.210 --> 00:26:58.369
might close out the deal though as a bench player

00:26:58.369 --> 00:27:00.589
they came in and they score right off the bench

00:27:00.589 --> 00:27:03.470
hit that clutch three down the stretch chips

00:27:03.470 --> 00:27:06.970
narrowly over cheez -its it's a tough bracket

00:27:06.970 --> 00:27:10.150
that that was the end of our snack bracket we're

00:27:10.150 --> 00:27:13.049
now on to the appetizers slash sides bracket

00:27:13.049 --> 00:27:18.380
once again very very Tough matchups here. We're

00:27:18.380 --> 00:27:21.220
starting with the number one fries fries French

00:27:21.220 --> 00:27:24.220
fries and then that's a once again chips was

00:27:24.220 --> 00:27:26.759
a solid one in the snacks this a very solid one

00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:29.480
and the appetizer sides and They're going up

00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:31.880
against fried pickles now. I'm not a fried pickle

00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:35.180
fan, but I know people that Swear by them. I

00:27:35.180 --> 00:27:38.319
am one of them. Yeah, I enjoy me some fried pickles

00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:43.200
But the match up stuff. I don't know as far as

00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:47.789
an eight seed I'm I feel for them because I'm

00:27:47.789 --> 00:27:51.329
on their side, but fries is a really strong one

00:27:51.329 --> 00:27:54.309
Yeah, and as much as I lean toward fried pickles,

00:27:54.309 --> 00:27:56.490
you've got a lot of versatility with fries to

00:27:56.490 --> 00:28:00.029
you got Cajun fries. Yep You got all the different

00:28:00.029 --> 00:28:03.069
fried dishes. You can make Irish nachos Texas

00:28:03.069 --> 00:28:07.589
nachos I think fries pulls away waffle fries

00:28:07.589 --> 00:28:10.049
steak fries shoestring fries I mean you just

00:28:10.049 --> 00:28:13.029
have so many different varieties all the fast

00:28:13.029 --> 00:28:15.660
food joints all have different slightly different

00:28:15.660 --> 00:28:18.440
variations of the french fry and then of course

00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:21.920
there's poutine right and that i think like if

00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:24.380
you were even like a could be a close matchup

00:28:24.380 --> 00:28:25.819
and then you throw a poutine out there it's like

00:28:25.819 --> 00:28:28.380
oh now it's now it's a 20 point drive right right

00:28:28.380 --> 00:28:29.960
and i think that's what we're looking at here

00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:33.680
so i if if it's okay with you fries moves on

00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:36.880
big fries victory big fries victory now four

00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:39.819
five is always a tough matchup right we got number

00:28:39.819 --> 00:28:44.519
four nachos versus number five onion rings That's

00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:49.240
pretty tough. I love nachos. It's it's one of

00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:52.539
my favorite appetizers to get anytime I go to

00:28:52.539 --> 00:28:56.099
a Mexican joint But I really fuck with onion

00:28:56.099 --> 00:28:58.799
rings. I know right if there's any place I go

00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:01.460
where I know the fries are just okay I get the

00:29:01.460 --> 00:29:04.700
onion rings uh -huh because they always hit I'm

00:29:04.700 --> 00:29:07.859
they do I'm thinking this could be the first

00:29:07.859 --> 00:29:10.500
upset. Four five is not really an upset upset,

00:29:10.579 --> 00:29:13.980
but I'm feeling onion rings recently. I am too.

00:29:14.539 --> 00:29:17.380
Last night I went to a restaurant in a town close

00:29:17.380 --> 00:29:22.180
to ours because I also write articles about restaurants

00:29:22.180 --> 00:29:24.599
and bars and things like that. So I was there

00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:28.500
all night. I had a ton of really good food. And

00:29:28.500 --> 00:29:32.279
so I left and then met my friends at a sports

00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:35.539
bar here because the the tournament's on right

00:29:35.539 --> 00:29:38.220
so catching a game michigan state one big go

00:29:38.220 --> 00:29:42.240
sparty and we're watching that and of course

00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:43.940
i have to have cheese sticks right very true

00:29:43.940 --> 00:29:46.460
i earn points and it's like oh free cheese sticks

00:29:46.460 --> 00:29:48.619
yes please don't mind if i do don't mind if i

00:29:48.619 --> 00:29:50.940
do so now i had this dinner now i had these cheese

00:29:50.940 --> 00:29:53.339
sticks now we go to this bar in town called duffy's

00:29:53.339 --> 00:29:55.039
that's your kind of your that's where you end

00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:58.140
the night that's a late bar but i'm with like

00:29:58.140 --> 00:29:59.519
there's six or seven of us we're all hanging

00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:01.680
out having a good time My friend Jess decides

00:30:01.680 --> 00:30:06.420
to order onion rings. I'm full. I'm several beers

00:30:06.420 --> 00:30:09.359
in. I've had tons of food, but those onion rings

00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:11.900
hit the bar, and you're like, well. Don't mind

00:30:11.900 --> 00:30:13.960
if I do. Yeah, I think we're going to have one

00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:16.960
or two of those. I agree, man. Onion rings are

00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:19.819
so solid. And different dips you can have with

00:30:19.819 --> 00:30:21.559
them, too. You can do a beer cheese with those

00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:23.960
onion rings, and that's fire. That is very true.

00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:27.819
They got those Cajun Chipotle Mayos with the

00:30:27.819 --> 00:30:31.309
onion rings. Golly. Well, I think we have our

00:30:31.309 --> 00:30:34.789
winner on your drinks the five seed moving on

00:30:34.789 --> 00:30:38.670
Solidly moving on very true. Sorry nachos. You

00:30:38.670 --> 00:30:41.329
are you're a good good team Yeah, they came in

00:30:41.329 --> 00:30:43.250
at that four seed thought they were hot shit

00:30:43.250 --> 00:30:48.670
and then that was like I don't know this one

00:30:48.670 --> 00:30:54.250
potential for an upset potential number two cheese

00:30:54.250 --> 00:30:59.490
sticks strong to Number seven quesadillas. Oh

00:30:59.490 --> 00:31:04.369
Man, I love me a quesadilla, dude. Love quesadillas.

00:31:04.430 --> 00:31:07.470
I love cheese sticks too, though There's the

00:31:07.470 --> 00:31:09.269
what are they the beer battered cheese sticks.

00:31:09.269 --> 00:31:13.069
I think Red Robin does them super well They're

00:31:13.069 --> 00:31:16.750
fantastic Every time but I'm calling it right

00:31:16.750 --> 00:31:20.609
now. This is the 512. I don't know how quesadillas

00:31:20.609 --> 00:31:25.539
loses Came in at the seven seed swinging. Yeah,

00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:29.000
you know quesadillas are good. I like them I

00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:31.440
like them because you you know you got everything

00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:34.099
in it right you got some sort of meat product

00:31:34.099 --> 00:31:38.019
you have the cheese the tomatoes and then the

00:31:38.019 --> 00:31:41.519
dip which Most times a sour cream, but our green

00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:44.299
salsa. Yeah, you do anything like that. So Verde

00:31:44.299 --> 00:31:48.819
fantastic But cheese sticks man that is just

00:31:48.819 --> 00:31:53.200
that is an all -around solid squad. It's a tough

00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:55.920
matchup. It's a lot tougher than I thought. Yeah,

00:31:55.940 --> 00:32:01.019
I think I would lean more cheese stick route

00:32:01.019 --> 00:32:06.460
if the breaded cheese curds, like you get at

00:32:06.460 --> 00:32:09.079
Culver's or... And they technically could be

00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:10.779
part of that, just like the cheesy poof with

00:32:10.779 --> 00:32:13.299
the Cheetos. They could be a part of that, but

00:32:13.299 --> 00:32:19.660
I just feel like stick as a form implies a stick

00:32:19.660 --> 00:32:23.809
shape. Sure, and I don't know if that fits. I

00:32:23.809 --> 00:32:26.349
don't know if that fits this this I'm quesadilla

00:32:26.349 --> 00:32:29.170
all the way I'm trying to argue on behalf of

00:32:29.170 --> 00:32:31.410
cheese sticks to be devil's advocate, but it's

00:32:31.410 --> 00:32:34.450
right My heart is screaming quesadilla because

00:32:34.450 --> 00:32:38.130
I'm I'm a cheese stick guy like 100 % Like if

00:32:38.130 --> 00:32:40.829
I go out to a restaurant and there are appetizers

00:32:40.829 --> 00:32:43.990
I do a quick glance for the cheese stick right

00:32:43.990 --> 00:32:45.910
soon as I see it. I'm like cheese sticks Yeah,

00:32:45.990 --> 00:32:48.440
like I don't even look at anything else Cheese

00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:50.700
sticks are another product, too, that's really

00:32:50.700 --> 00:32:55.339
hard to screw up. Right. It's a big hunk of mozzarella

00:32:55.339 --> 00:32:59.900
cheese surrounded by some sort of breading, coating.

00:33:00.059 --> 00:33:03.859
Right. And that can vary depending on the restaurant.

00:33:05.500 --> 00:33:07.799
And, you know, most often you dip it in marinara,

00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:11.420
but lately I've been dipping it in ranch. Ranch

00:33:11.420 --> 00:33:13.640
is great. Ranch is great to do with that. Ranch

00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:15.740
with a cheese stick is solid. Could also dip

00:33:15.740 --> 00:33:19.710
quesadillas in ranch. Man you are you're pushing.

00:33:19.910 --> 00:33:22.789
I know pushing I'm really trying this is this

00:33:22.789 --> 00:33:24.789
the challenge see I knew we would get to this

00:33:24.789 --> 00:33:26.450
point at some point I didn't think it'd be a

00:33:26.450 --> 00:33:30.930
7 -2 But here we are yeah here. We are if only

00:33:30.930 --> 00:33:34.309
there was a tiebreaker Yeah, we do we don't feel

00:33:34.309 --> 00:33:36.549
like we should get a coin to flip I know right

00:33:36.549 --> 00:33:39.670
if we had a if we had a coin. I don't think I

00:33:39.670 --> 00:33:44.809
do Boy golly Well, I'll tell you what I'll give

00:33:44.809 --> 00:33:46.950
you this tiebreaker if I can get the next one,

00:33:47.190 --> 00:33:51.920
okay? That sounds fair. Is that fair? Begrudgingly,

00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:57.299
I move along. Quesadillas. The big seven -seat

00:33:57.299 --> 00:34:01.220
upset. Let's go. Let's go chat. Let's go team.

00:34:01.859 --> 00:34:06.039
With the upset over cheese sticks. Three -six,

00:34:06.220 --> 00:34:11.360
another one. Potential for an upset. Wings against

00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:16.269
tater tots. Ooh, see tater tots is interesting

00:34:16.269 --> 00:34:20.130
because it's like they took fries and hash browns

00:34:20.130 --> 00:34:24.150
and they had a baby. Right, yeah. And that, it

00:34:24.150 --> 00:34:27.190
can serve as both. Oh yeah. You could do tater

00:34:27.190 --> 00:34:29.650
tots for breakfast. It's your hash brown, yeah.

00:34:29.829 --> 00:34:31.389
Whereas I don't know if you can do fries for

00:34:31.389 --> 00:34:34.389
breakfast. There's no law against it but people

00:34:34.389 --> 00:34:36.590
might look at you a little strange. Sure. See

00:34:36.590 --> 00:34:38.869
tater tots can be for breakfast but they can

00:34:38.869 --> 00:34:42.519
go in all the same... fried dishes. Yeah. Right.

00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:45.300
And they go, they go in a lot of casserole kind

00:34:45.300 --> 00:34:47.780
of thingies too. That's true. You make tater

00:34:47.780 --> 00:34:50.619
tot poutine. Yes, you could. You absolutely could.

00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:53.199
You can make any type of those like Irish nacho

00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:56.219
type dishes with tater tots instead of fries.

00:34:57.099 --> 00:35:00.760
But wings are really great. Wings are great.

00:35:00.900 --> 00:35:03.119
Yeah. Wings are great. And once again, you could

00:35:03.119 --> 00:35:05.579
just have them fried. You can have baked, grilled.

00:35:06.579 --> 00:35:11.599
And the sauces are endless. Or the rubs. Dry

00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:14.920
rubs. I had a lemon pepper dry rub last time

00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:16.880
I had wings, which I can't remember when that

00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:19.360
was. Probably weeks ago. But I had them for dinner

00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:22.699
one night. Had this lemon pepper rub. Fantastic.

00:35:22.900 --> 00:35:26.519
Yeah. Fantastic. It is wonderful. Bone in, boneless,

00:35:26.719 --> 00:35:29.920
either way. Yeah. Wings are really, really good.

00:35:30.500 --> 00:35:33.500
Yeah. I'm more of a drum guy for the wings. Sure.

00:35:33.559 --> 00:35:36.280
Not as much of the flats. But even so, they're

00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:41.880
just delicious. Yeah. I eat. I just I like chicken

00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:46.300
a lot. I think I gotta go wings. Okay All right.

00:35:46.420 --> 00:35:49.559
I'm fine with that. I do love tater tots and

00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:53.280
all of its applications as well too like sometimes

00:35:53.280 --> 00:35:55.760
with the points like you get appetizers and stuff

00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:59.659
at b -dubs and A lot of times I'll qualify for

00:35:59.659 --> 00:36:01.760
like the tots and I'm like, oh, that's great.

00:36:01.780 --> 00:36:03.920
Yeah And so what I'll do, I'll be like, hey,

00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:07.340
can you smother that in some sort of queso sauce?

00:36:07.340 --> 00:36:10.099
Right. And they do. And they're so good. Genius.

00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:14.659
They're so fricking good. So we salute your attempt,

00:36:14.860 --> 00:36:17.320
Tater Tots. Tater Tots, very strong 6. You played

00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:20.559
a good game. Wings just too much. Yeah, just

00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:23.480
overpowering. Now things get interesting. Right.

00:36:24.030 --> 00:36:26.949
We're on to fries versus onion rings. If that

00:36:26.949 --> 00:36:31.309
wasn't a thing anyway. Right. Fries versus onion

00:36:31.309 --> 00:36:36.949
rings. Now fun fact, my dad, your grandpa, preferred

00:36:36.949 --> 00:36:40.929
onion rings. And especially at an establishment

00:36:40.929 --> 00:36:46.250
called White Castle. And he swore by their onion

00:36:46.250 --> 00:36:49.369
rings. And they're very good. And there's a lot

00:36:49.369 --> 00:36:51.190
of other bars and restaurants in the area that

00:36:51.190 --> 00:36:54.079
really have... Like, I feel that onion ring game

00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:56.800
in this part of the world is very strong. Yes.

00:36:57.099 --> 00:36:58.820
I completely agree. I think it's very strong.

00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:01.260
I don't know if that's a genetic thing that skips

00:37:01.260 --> 00:37:04.199
a generation because I'm pretty much completely

00:37:04.199 --> 00:37:06.960
in line with that. If I see both fries and onion

00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:10.280
rings as options, I usually lean onion ring.

00:37:10.719 --> 00:37:13.539
Unless it's a spot where it is established I

00:37:13.539 --> 00:37:16.579
know they have good french fries, like the Cajun

00:37:16.579 --> 00:37:22.420
at Five Guys or the Cajun at Popeyes. Or McDonald's,

00:37:22.500 --> 00:37:24.639
which is I know yeah, yeah, no kidding there,

00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:28.900
but I lean onion rings, but that's a big five

00:37:28.900 --> 00:37:33.260
one upset that I'm Suggesting and I don't know

00:37:33.260 --> 00:37:35.500
if that's gonna fly by the commish. You know

00:37:35.500 --> 00:37:40.219
It's not and yeah Since everybody that knows

00:37:40.219 --> 00:37:45.239
me knows my fry guys yeah That being said I completely

00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:46.960
understand where you're coming from for onion

00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:52.440
rings The only thing I think, and that sways

00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:55.159
me, besides the fact I just love fries, but the

00:37:55.159 --> 00:37:58.440
thing that sways me too, sometimes, is that sometimes

00:37:58.440 --> 00:38:01.679
you bite into the onion ring and the entire onion

00:38:01.679 --> 00:38:05.900
slips out. True. And now you've got a teeny tiny

00:38:05.900 --> 00:38:09.079
piece of breading and a huge mushy onion in your

00:38:09.079 --> 00:38:10.820
mouth and you're just like, wow, that wasn't

00:38:10.820 --> 00:38:12.420
expected. Right. And now you've got to shove

00:38:12.420 --> 00:38:14.039
the rest of the onion ring in your mouth. Because

00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:15.599
the ratio is off at that point. The ratio is

00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:19.949
off. Yeah. So I go fries, I think. I yeah, I

00:38:19.949 --> 00:38:23.670
think the the one moves on in this aspect, but

00:38:23.670 --> 00:38:25.929
I will give onion rings credit where credit to

00:38:25.929 --> 00:38:31.170
do breading and frying a Vegetable a root vegetable.

00:38:31.170 --> 00:38:33.670
Yeah has a lot of that water moisture, which

00:38:33.670 --> 00:38:37.570
I you know leads to that onion slippage of its

00:38:37.570 --> 00:38:41.110
breading But they still find a way to do it right.

00:38:41.429 --> 00:38:43.929
Yeah, and that is admirable. Yeah, I think when

00:38:43.929 --> 00:38:46.539
you're When you're cutting up the onions and

00:38:46.539 --> 00:38:49.280
making them from scratch like that, I think you've

00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:50.820
really got to try to take a little bit of that

00:38:50.820 --> 00:38:54.539
moisture out. Yeah. Before you dredge them and

00:38:54.539 --> 00:38:55.820
bread them and all that kind of good stuff. Pet

00:38:55.820 --> 00:38:57.239
them dry, you know. Because if you don't, if

00:38:57.239 --> 00:38:58.659
you just cut them up and you just throw them

00:38:58.659 --> 00:39:01.239
in right away, like you said, that moisture,

00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:03.079
I think, creates that slippage where you take

00:39:03.079 --> 00:39:04.599
that bite and it all comes out and you're like,

00:39:04.639 --> 00:39:08.019
well, OK. But then there's some where they do

00:39:08.019 --> 00:39:10.840
it right, where that breading is... damn near

00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:13.960
adhered. Adhered to the onion a little bit better,

00:39:14.260 --> 00:39:16.619
so you don't run into that as much. It's almost

00:39:16.619 --> 00:39:18.820
the same process I imagine you'd have to do to

00:39:18.820 --> 00:39:21.440
make latkes, like potato pancakes. You've got

00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:23.559
to take all that water, starchy water out of

00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:26.179
there. You absolutely have to. So, yeah, it's

00:39:26.179 --> 00:39:27.980
a tip out there for all you onion ring makers.

00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:32.559
That's right, that's right. I am now going to

00:39:32.559 --> 00:39:39.570
talk about the Cinderella story. It's an appetizer

00:39:39.570 --> 00:39:43.710
side out of nowhere about to become Master's

00:39:43.710 --> 00:39:48.510
champion. No different sport guys quesadillas

00:39:48.510 --> 00:39:54.369
versus wings seven three quesadillas wings I

00:39:54.369 --> 00:39:57.369
Love quesadillas so much. I know you did and

00:39:57.369 --> 00:39:59.610
I really talked up their upset last time But

00:39:59.610 --> 00:40:01.869
this is this is gonna be a lot closer of a match

00:40:01.869 --> 00:40:04.230
a different animal Different animal entirely

00:40:04.230 --> 00:40:07.489
different game plan necessary because wings are

00:40:07.489 --> 00:40:10.329
strong man Like you said wings are difficult

00:40:10.329 --> 00:40:14.369
to mess up Whereas I mean even Taco Bell fucks

00:40:14.369 --> 00:40:16.510
up a quesadilla sometimes sure they do yeah,

00:40:16.570 --> 00:40:20.630
so I mean do those mistakes bring quesadillas

00:40:20.630 --> 00:40:24.309
off of this Cinderella story Or does the upset

00:40:24.309 --> 00:40:27.289
continue? I think wings is just too strong wings

00:40:27.289 --> 00:40:31.360
is too strong I mean, they had a good run. Upsetting

00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:34.400
cheese sticks of all things. Right, yeah. Yeah,

00:40:34.460 --> 00:40:37.559
I think wings, third seed wings. Moves on. Looking

00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:39.699
to move on. Definitely moves on, which brings

00:40:39.699 --> 00:40:42.719
us to the final in the appetizer side bracket,

00:40:42.960 --> 00:40:46.679
fries and wings. Fries and wings. Two great tastes

00:40:46.679 --> 00:40:49.539
that go great together. How dare you pit two

00:40:49.539 --> 00:40:52.039
bad bitches against themselves. I know, right?

00:40:53.780 --> 00:40:57.429
This is tough for me. This is tough for me. I

00:40:57.429 --> 00:41:00.170
was just arguing against fries in the onion ring

00:41:00.170 --> 00:41:03.110
bracket Uh -huh, and now I'm almost tempted to

00:41:03.110 --> 00:41:05.750
lean towards fry now We're turning it all around

00:41:05.750 --> 00:41:09.230
because wings has been so strong Whereas you

00:41:09.230 --> 00:41:13.650
know fries put up a big dub last time. I Don't

00:41:13.650 --> 00:41:17.510
know. I don't know Because it's almost these

00:41:17.510 --> 00:41:20.090
are appetizer sides. We're talking about but

00:41:20.090 --> 00:41:24.920
I've always thought of wings Having the potential

00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:28.619
to be a meal We're sure fries typically do take

00:41:28.619 --> 00:41:32.380
the place as a side unless They are in a full

00:41:32.380 --> 00:41:35.820
dish like Irish nachos Correct. Yeah, so with

00:41:35.820 --> 00:41:37.980
that in mind it or poutine or whatever poutine,

00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:40.800
right? God damn it. You brought up poutine again.

00:41:40.860 --> 00:41:45.059
I'm I'm feeling fries again. Yeah. Yeah, but

00:41:45.059 --> 00:41:50.440
see I get I Get the wings. I really do that is

00:41:50.440 --> 00:41:55.219
that is a That is a tough one to pass up. But

00:41:55.219 --> 00:41:57.500
you can't gravy and cheese curd a wing, really,

00:41:57.559 --> 00:42:01.139
can you? I don't think you can. But here's something

00:42:01.139 --> 00:42:04.719
I'm just going to throw out there. You have an

00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:06.739
appetizer aside. You have leftovers to put in

00:42:06.739 --> 00:42:07.940
your fridge. You wake up the next day, you're

00:42:07.940 --> 00:42:10.719
going to eat it. What are you looking at as a

00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:13.800
more appealing thing? A cold fry? Right, oh man.

00:42:13.820 --> 00:42:15.739
Or cold wings, which you can just pick up and

00:42:15.739 --> 00:42:17.500
eat. You can just pick up and eat like it's cold

00:42:17.500 --> 00:42:20.239
pizza. Yep. You cannot do that with fries. Cold

00:42:20.239 --> 00:42:22.179
fries are disgusting. Right, you have to find

00:42:22.179 --> 00:42:24.900
a way to revitalize them. Bring out the pan and

00:42:24.900 --> 00:42:28.159
some oil, kick on the air fryer, something. You

00:42:28.159 --> 00:42:30.199
throw them in the oven or the frying pan or something,

00:42:30.219 --> 00:42:32.880
right. Because the fries must be revitalized

00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:37.119
before they can be enjoyed. Yep. You've argued

00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:40.969
wings... completely to win this match for me.

00:42:41.190 --> 00:42:45.369
This could be a three seed big dub. I think it

00:42:45.369 --> 00:42:48.030
is. And I'm a fry guy, but I'm being real about

00:42:48.030 --> 00:42:51.210
it. That's true. Being practical. That's it.

00:42:51.489 --> 00:42:53.889
I think wings are just... I think wings win it

00:42:53.889 --> 00:42:56.550
in the end. I think they do. That is a big three

00:42:56.550 --> 00:42:58.849
seed victory for wings. A big three seed victory.

00:42:59.010 --> 00:43:02.429
Wings moves on. I hope you guys are all enjoying

00:43:02.429 --> 00:43:05.800
this. We're enjoying it. We've done this on the

00:43:05.800 --> 00:43:07.940
radio side of things here in Valparaiso, Indiana

00:43:07.940 --> 00:43:12.480
for years. Some version of this. Yes, yeah. Perhaps

00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:15.000
if we put these brackets on the socials, you

00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:17.420
lovely listeners at home could... play along,

00:43:17.619 --> 00:43:20.320
maybe scream at us in the comments as to why

00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:23.019
we're wrong, but we can't hear you for now, so

00:43:23.019 --> 00:43:25.300
we're just gonna keep on truckin'. We're gonna

00:43:25.300 --> 00:43:28.039
keep on truckin', and Aidan brings up a good

00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:29.519
point that would be a good thing to throw up

00:43:29.519 --> 00:43:32.179
on the socials. The next bracket is what I call

00:43:32.179 --> 00:43:34.440
the pizza sandwich bracket, and I was gonna do

00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:38.380
something called entree, just too vast. Too vast.

00:43:38.400 --> 00:43:41.519
Just too vast, because then you're leaving out

00:43:41.519 --> 00:43:43.360
a lot of good stuff, so I figured if we just

00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:46.440
narrow it to pizzas and sandwiches, which...

00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:48.539
If you're watching college basketball or any

00:43:48.539 --> 00:43:49.900
sporting events, probably something you're going

00:43:49.900 --> 00:43:53.280
to be eating anyway. Certainly. So here we go.

00:43:55.119 --> 00:43:58.860
I forgot a word here. That's OK. In the number

00:43:58.860 --> 00:44:00.780
eight. We'll fix it in post, right? We'll fix

00:44:00.780 --> 00:44:04.539
it in post. OK, so on the number eight, or sorry,

00:44:04.679 --> 00:44:08.179
number one versus eight. Number one, Chicago

00:44:08.179 --> 00:44:11.619
Tavern style pizza. It's thin crust pizza. Cut

00:44:11.619 --> 00:44:14.199
into squares. Cut into squares, as it should

00:44:14.199 --> 00:44:18.559
be. versus number eight, grilled cheese. I really

00:44:18.559 --> 00:44:21.780
love grilled cheese. I do too. I really like

00:44:21.780 --> 00:44:24.980
it. I don't want to say it has versatility because

00:44:24.980 --> 00:44:28.280
it kind of doesn't. It's just a grilled two pieces

00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:31.199
of bread with cheese in the middle. Now you can

00:44:31.199 --> 00:44:33.199
pair it with tomato soups. You could have it

00:44:33.199 --> 00:44:36.400
solo. For those under budget crunches though,

00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:38.579
grilled cheese is a good sandwich to do. That

00:44:38.579 --> 00:44:40.960
is a fantastic point to make. Yeah. Whereas,

00:44:41.119 --> 00:44:44.059
I mean, if you get that tavern -style pizza from

00:44:44.059 --> 00:44:47.840
a Chicago joint, you might be spending a pretty

00:44:47.840 --> 00:44:51.719
penny on it. 25, 30 bucks? Right. So if we're

00:44:51.719 --> 00:44:53.840
talking budget, I like grilled cheese, but how

00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:55.820
do you beat... How do you beat the tavern -style

00:44:55.820 --> 00:44:57.619
pizza? I don't think you do. I don't know if

00:44:57.619 --> 00:45:01.090
I could be convinced of an 8 -1 upset here. Nah,

00:45:01.090 --> 00:45:02.809
I don't either. And like I said, the grilled

00:45:02.809 --> 00:45:04.809
cheese is great. You can dip the grilled cheese

00:45:04.809 --> 00:45:07.889
in ranch. You can dip it in blue cheese. You

00:45:07.889 --> 00:45:11.969
can dip it in tomato soup. Think about the timing,

00:45:12.269 --> 00:45:15.210
too. That team is fast, man. I mean, you get

00:45:15.210 --> 00:45:16.809
hungry. You could have that grilled cheese ready

00:45:16.809 --> 00:45:19.150
in four minutes. Done. Or is that Tavern Style

00:45:19.150 --> 00:45:22.110
Pizza delivery? You're talking 40 to 50. Yeah,

00:45:22.110 --> 00:45:24.909
it's a while. You're waiting. I think we made

00:45:24.909 --> 00:45:28.610
an argument for grilled cheese to be in the game.

00:45:28.909 --> 00:45:32.250
Yes. But... But to win is a completely different

00:45:32.250 --> 00:45:35.610
beast. There's no way. There's no way that was

00:45:35.610 --> 00:45:38.829
gonna happen. No. But grilled cheese, I think,

00:45:38.889 --> 00:45:41.869
put up a decent fight. They made it to the tourney.

00:45:41.969 --> 00:45:45.429
That was a wonder. Absolutely. Yeah. So I think

00:45:45.429 --> 00:45:50.349
we go tavern -style pizza. Pulling away. Pulling

00:45:50.349 --> 00:45:53.590
away. Yeah. For the victory. And honestly, tight

00:45:53.590 --> 00:45:57.190
game by half, but... That pizza just woke up

00:45:57.190 --> 00:46:00.460
and was like, hey, remember me? Do we know who

00:46:00.460 --> 00:46:03.960
we are? Well, we know who four or five are, and

00:46:03.960 --> 00:46:07.099
this is another tough four or five. Number four,

00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:12.739
the cheeseburger versus the gyro. This is, that's

00:46:12.739 --> 00:46:16.519
tough. That's tough. I love me a good gyro, especially

00:46:16.519 --> 00:46:18.699
for an authentic Greek restaurant. Oh, forget

00:46:18.699 --> 00:46:22.800
about it. It's just a fantastic sandwich. Of

00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:24.900
course, it's in a pita most of the time, which

00:46:24.900 --> 00:46:28.150
you could argue makes it more of a taco. But

00:46:28.150 --> 00:46:31.750
that's probably true tacos and hot dogs could

00:46:31.750 --> 00:46:34.570
both be considered sandwiches depending culinarily

00:46:34.570 --> 00:46:37.610
how you think about it, so You know that is what

00:46:37.610 --> 00:46:40.670
it is, but here's my Here's my argument because

00:46:40.670 --> 00:46:43.489
I automatically lean yarrow just because they

00:46:43.489 --> 00:46:46.250
taste phenomenal the ziki sauce is crazy good

00:46:46.250 --> 00:46:49.150
But which one of these two items could you make

00:46:49.150 --> 00:46:53.949
at home? Cheeseburger the cheeseburger Yeah,

00:46:54.349 --> 00:46:56.989
and a good old house burger man is good stuff.

00:46:57.010 --> 00:46:58.989
Nothing beats a homemade burger man. Most people

00:46:58.989 --> 00:47:00.869
have grills in their yard, you can throw it right

00:47:00.869 --> 00:47:04.090
on there. Right. Making gyros at home, that's

00:47:04.090 --> 00:47:06.909
a beast, you know. Right, because chances are

00:47:06.909 --> 00:47:09.829
you don't have the spit. Right. And you don't

00:47:09.829 --> 00:47:13.230
have the big wheel -o -lam. And I mean, think

00:47:13.230 --> 00:47:16.090
about the quantity of American houses that keep

00:47:16.090 --> 00:47:19.170
pitas at home. It's not a high percentage. No.

00:47:19.369 --> 00:47:22.039
So you really got a meal plan. When you're at

00:47:22.039 --> 00:47:24.360
the grocery store to make euros happen, we're

00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:27.119
on Zeke saw somewhere make your own I mean you

00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:29.159
you always got ground chuck lying around you

00:47:29.159 --> 00:47:32.019
got some type of bread and cheese and lettuce

00:47:32.019 --> 00:47:35.420
or tomatoes You've got a burger. I think cheeseburgers

00:47:35.420 --> 00:47:39.440
are more practical Yeah, that's true though If

00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:42.079
I'm if both are in front of me, I'm going to

00:47:42.079 --> 00:47:45.099
reach for the euro That's my only counterpoint

00:47:45.099 --> 00:47:47.980
Yeah It's not much of a win. And like you said

00:47:47.980 --> 00:47:49.960
too, like if you're out and about and you're

00:47:49.960 --> 00:47:51.619
say you're traveling cross country, whatever,

00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:56.260
I'm going to run into 20 burger joints before

00:47:56.260 --> 00:47:59.019
I run into a Euro joint. Right. And when you

00:47:59.019 --> 00:48:01.880
go down south, you're going to run into less

00:48:01.880 --> 00:48:04.780
Euro joints. Right, even fewer. Yeah, even fewer.

00:48:05.119 --> 00:48:09.739
So I think I think cheeseburger. I think it's

00:48:09.739 --> 00:48:12.019
a competitive game for sure. Yes, I agree. I

00:48:12.019 --> 00:48:13.860
think cheeseburger gets the win. Yeah, their

00:48:13.860 --> 00:48:16.610
play styles are very different. Oh, for sure.

00:48:16.829 --> 00:48:19.530
But yeah, cheeseburger with the dub. This is

00:48:19.530 --> 00:48:21.349
going to be an interesting 2 -7. I don't think

00:48:21.349 --> 00:48:25.170
this will be the 2 -7 upset. But number two,

00:48:25.489 --> 00:48:27.409
and for people outside of Chicago, maybe you

00:48:27.409 --> 00:48:30.329
won't understand, but I know like, Buffalo has

00:48:30.329 --> 00:48:33.429
this thing called beef on whack. There's the

00:48:33.429 --> 00:48:36.710
beef sandwich like in Massachusetts. So there

00:48:36.710 --> 00:48:39.090
are versions of barbecued beef in North Carolina

00:48:39.090 --> 00:48:40.949
and Texas. So there's versions of beef sandwiches.

00:48:41.710 --> 00:48:44.110
In the Chicago area, there's a thing called an

00:48:44.110 --> 00:48:47.289
Italian beef sandwich. A beautiful sandwich.

00:48:47.710 --> 00:48:50.369
It's a beautiful sandwich. Versus the chicken

00:48:50.369 --> 00:48:54.269
sandwich. And all of its various applications.

00:48:54.889 --> 00:48:57.449
Oh man. You got the grilled chicken sandwich.

00:48:57.530 --> 00:49:01.250
You got the breaded chicken sandwich. Holy. Yeah,

00:49:01.250 --> 00:49:04.809
that's tough. That is tough because I love chicken

00:49:04.809 --> 00:49:07.530
sandwiches. I feel like I've eaten more chicken

00:49:07.530 --> 00:49:10.130
sandwiches in my life than I have Italian beefs.

00:49:10.429 --> 00:49:14.400
Probably. Yeah, that bone a cheesy beef man that

00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:19.380
cheddar cheesy beef al's pops pops, right? Golly

00:49:19.380 --> 00:49:23.159
Yeah, I think I think from a quantity standpoint,

00:49:23.159 --> 00:49:25.340
you're gonna find chicken sandwiches more often

00:49:25.340 --> 00:49:27.760
than you're gonna find Italian sure Yeah, but

00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:30.460
there are restaurants that are like, yep. We

00:49:30.460 --> 00:49:33.400
do italian beef Yeah, and that's what they say

00:49:33.400 --> 00:49:36.400
they are and that's what they do and other than

00:49:36.400 --> 00:49:39.360
like chick -fil -a There really isn't a place.

00:49:39.460 --> 00:49:41.699
It's like we're the chicken sandwich spot Well,

00:49:41.699 --> 00:49:43.079
a lot of places have chicken sandwiches, but

00:49:43.079 --> 00:49:44.840
they're not like a chicken sandwich, but there's

00:49:44.840 --> 00:49:47.019
one that I can think of off the top of my head.

00:49:47.019 --> 00:49:50.760
Yeah. Whereas Italian beef, I could probably

00:49:50.760 --> 00:49:54.380
name like 15 to 20 joints in Chicago that are

00:49:54.380 --> 00:49:56.059
like, we are an Italian beef restaurant. Right.

00:49:56.059 --> 00:49:58.639
That's what we do. Yeah. It's a speciality. Yep.

00:49:59.420 --> 00:50:00.980
And it's a really good one. And it's delicious.

00:50:01.139 --> 00:50:02.940
It's a really good one. Now, here's the thing.

00:50:03.420 --> 00:50:06.929
Chicken sandwiches can be messed up, right? Oh

00:50:06.929 --> 00:50:08.570
sure, chicken sandwiches. Undercooked chicken,

00:50:08.630 --> 00:50:10.110
you're in trouble. Yeah, undercooked chicken

00:50:10.110 --> 00:50:14.869
is a huge issue. Dry chicken is a massive, massive

00:50:14.869 --> 00:50:17.650
issue. Sometimes it's a bad cut of chicken. Sometimes

00:50:17.650 --> 00:50:19.429
you bite into it and it's awkward and it's like

00:50:19.429 --> 00:50:23.489
tough and yeah. That's no bueno. Whereas Italian

00:50:23.489 --> 00:50:27.110
beef, there's always au jus. If you're like,

00:50:27.510 --> 00:50:29.710
oh man, this one's a little dry. You got the

00:50:29.710 --> 00:50:32.369
huge cup of au jus. No, it's not dry. The only

00:50:32.369 --> 00:50:34.630
thing that you could potentially do is overcook

00:50:34.630 --> 00:50:37.280
the meat. Right. Or cook at a too high of a temperature.

00:50:37.579 --> 00:50:39.079
But if you're getting it from one of these restaurants,

00:50:39.400 --> 00:50:40.860
that's not what they do. That's not what they

00:50:40.860 --> 00:50:43.239
do. No. It's perfect every time. The cheesy beef

00:50:43.239 --> 00:50:46.300
is wonderful. Jardinaire on there. Get real.

00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:52.639
Get real. They created this topping for specifically

00:50:52.639 --> 00:50:56.639
this sandwich. Right. Jardinaire. Yeah. Which

00:50:56.639 --> 00:51:01.019
is carrots and celery. Hot peppers. Hot peppers.

00:51:01.039 --> 00:51:02.880
And there's a whole bunch of like things in there.

00:51:03.239 --> 00:51:05.679
Some type of olive oil or something. Yeah. And

00:51:05.679 --> 00:51:09.039
you put that on top, make it a cheesy beef. Right.

00:51:09.179 --> 00:51:11.820
You can do the cheese and some marinara if you

00:51:11.820 --> 00:51:13.380
want. That is true. There's different things

00:51:13.380 --> 00:51:15.699
you can even do with it. Yes. You can do dry,

00:51:17.239 --> 00:51:19.840
which means just the meat, it has the little

00:51:19.840 --> 00:51:21.760
bit of juice in it. Or in Chicago, it's a thing

00:51:21.760 --> 00:51:23.539
called dipped. That's where it's at. Just take

00:51:23.539 --> 00:51:25.599
that whole thing and plop it right in the au

00:51:25.599 --> 00:51:28.320
jus. Yes, that's where it's at. The only point

00:51:28.320 --> 00:51:31.659
I make there is if you're... per se road trippin'

00:51:31.800 --> 00:51:33.840
or on a long commute. Bad sandwich to eat in

00:51:33.840 --> 00:51:35.460
the car. Bad sandwich to eat in the car. You

00:51:35.460 --> 00:51:37.960
cannot make that happen. Yep. You're gonna need

00:51:37.960 --> 00:51:41.960
like 30 wet wipes, 50 napkins. Oh yeah. So that

00:51:41.960 --> 00:51:46.519
could be like the third quarter near come back,

00:51:46.699 --> 00:51:49.159
but no. Chicken sandwich doesn't have it. No,

00:51:49.159 --> 00:51:51.300
strong, but no way you're beating the Italian

00:51:51.300 --> 00:51:54.159
beef. So we are gonna have the Italian beef sandwich

00:51:54.159 --> 00:51:57.960
move on, which then takes us to number three,

00:51:58.099 --> 00:52:01.860
the steak sandwich. versus number six, deep dish

00:52:01.860 --> 00:52:07.280
pizza. Ooh. Ooh, boy. Now. Now mind you, there's

00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:09.460
two things that I left off this list, because

00:52:09.460 --> 00:52:13.539
there's only eight. Right. Tacos, which would

00:52:13.539 --> 00:52:16.860
have been strong, and Philly cheesesteaks. That's

00:52:16.860 --> 00:52:20.019
true. But this is steak sandwich, so if you choose

00:52:20.019 --> 00:52:23.380
to kind of wrap that into an all -encompassing,

00:52:23.559 --> 00:52:26.059
feel free to do so. Yeah. Because Philly cheesesteak

00:52:26.059 --> 00:52:28.440
is essentially a steak sandwich. It is, correct.

00:52:28.619 --> 00:52:31.219
In a way. So you could fit that in there. And

00:52:31.219 --> 00:52:33.199
I think for argument's sake, you totally can.

00:52:33.900 --> 00:52:36.400
I think an exception here that didn't make the

00:52:36.400 --> 00:52:39.579
list as well is Indiana's very own pork tenderloin.

00:52:39.579 --> 00:52:41.539
Pork tenderloin sandwich, which is excellent.

00:52:41.760 --> 00:52:43.719
That would have been a contender as well, but

00:52:43.719 --> 00:52:46.099
didn't make the bracket, which is fine, because

00:52:46.099 --> 00:52:48.119
we got these two bad boys steak sandwich deep

00:52:48.119 --> 00:52:50.539
dish. Last time I ate a breaded steak sandwich,

00:52:50.679 --> 00:52:53.420
it did not go well for me. No. For either of

00:52:53.420 --> 00:52:55.920
us. We won't mention the place, because we do

00:52:55.920 --> 00:52:57.579
love the place. We do love the place. It was

00:52:57.579 --> 00:52:59.940
just a one -off freak accident where something

00:52:59.940 --> 00:53:02.860
was mishandled or poorly prepared. And we were

00:53:02.860 --> 00:53:06.960
both sick for a day or two. Yeah. And it was

00:53:06.960 --> 00:53:08.900
a rough one. It was a rough one. I was throwing

00:53:08.900 --> 00:53:13.599
up for a long time. What? Does that mean every

00:53:13.599 --> 00:53:17.059
steak sandwich is bad? No. No. What? And sometimes,

00:53:17.099 --> 00:53:19.480
once again, you talk Philly cheesesteak, which

00:53:19.480 --> 00:53:22.780
is different than a breaded seat. breaded steak

00:53:22.780 --> 00:53:26.519
sandwich, which is different than like a ribeye.

00:53:26.639 --> 00:53:28.599
Sure. With the caramelized onions and cheese.

00:53:28.639 --> 00:53:31.699
Yeah. Oh man. Which is good too. Oh man. That

00:53:31.699 --> 00:53:36.360
is really good. Here's my counterpoint. I love

00:53:36.360 --> 00:53:38.860
deep dish pizza. Oh yeah. It's usually called

00:53:38.860 --> 00:53:41.659
like the tourist pizza or the tourist trap pizza,

00:53:41.679 --> 00:53:43.900
whatever else. And I don't eat it much, but.

00:53:44.199 --> 00:53:46.559
Every time I eat it, I love it. It's great. Lou

00:53:46.559 --> 00:53:49.599
Malnati's kills the deep dish game. There's a

00:53:49.599 --> 00:53:53.769
lot of. Who knows. Who knows, yeah. Uno's, Giordano's,

00:53:53.909 --> 00:53:58.409
yeah. The deep dish pizza game is strong, but

00:53:58.409 --> 00:54:00.570
it's one of those things you eat a slice of deep

00:54:00.570 --> 00:54:03.150
dish pizza, you're full. You're done. A slice.

00:54:03.329 --> 00:54:06.710
Yeah. It is very filling. It's essentially a

00:54:06.710 --> 00:54:10.190
pie, in a way. Really? Yeah. But it's really,

00:54:10.230 --> 00:54:15.190
really good. It's really good. I would think

00:54:15.190 --> 00:54:18.409
steak sandwich pulls away with this one, but

00:54:18.409 --> 00:54:23.050
I give props where props are due. I'll go as

00:54:23.050 --> 00:54:27.769
far as to say maybe, just maybe, Deep Dish hits

00:54:27.769 --> 00:54:30.210
that three at the buzzer. Like I was saying,

00:54:30.289 --> 00:54:32.010
it's a close one for me. Do you oppose that?

00:54:32.110 --> 00:54:34.809
I do not oppose that. In fact, the last steak

00:54:34.809 --> 00:54:37.250
sandwich I ate was probably the one that messed

00:54:37.250 --> 00:54:40.050
up that defense. That's exactly. Yeah. Exactly.

00:54:40.150 --> 00:54:42.329
That's a really great point. So I'm thinking

00:54:42.329 --> 00:54:45.429
Deep Dish with a 6 -3 upset. I like that. I like

00:54:45.429 --> 00:54:49.659
that for us. We're now on to... Tavern style

00:54:49.659 --> 00:54:54.000
pizza versus the cheeseburger. Oh man It gets

00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:59.179
tougher every time as we move along I I can't

00:54:59.179 --> 00:55:01.340
say no to a tavern style pizza. I can't either.

00:55:01.340 --> 00:55:03.860
I mean, I don't really say no to cheeseburgers,

00:55:03.860 --> 00:55:11.199
but for the sake of like I can't I can't let

00:55:11.199 --> 00:55:15.300
tavern style lose Not like this. Not like this.

00:55:15.300 --> 00:55:18.760
Not like this. And I'll be honest, we're very

00:55:18.760 --> 00:55:21.860
much into our Irish heritage here. And we just

00:55:21.860 --> 00:55:24.219
had various parades and parties and all that.

00:55:24.500 --> 00:55:27.739
And so this guy got sick, so he could not join

00:55:27.739 --> 00:55:29.920
me in my venture to the south side of Chicago

00:55:29.920 --> 00:55:35.239
for said parade. But even when my kids were younger...

00:55:35.280 --> 00:55:37.679
It was it like it was about the parade because

00:55:37.679 --> 00:55:39.599
like you wanted to wear shamrocks and you wanted

00:55:39.599 --> 00:55:41.980
to wear green and beads and all that fun stuff

00:55:41.980 --> 00:55:44.920
Especially if the day like wasn't crappy like

00:55:44.920 --> 00:55:48.400
it was this year. Yeah snow and cold But most

00:55:48.400 --> 00:55:49.840
you know if you get that nice year You don't

00:55:49.840 --> 00:55:51.599
mind being out there and hanging out and you

00:55:51.599 --> 00:55:53.239
know people are throwing you beads and candy

00:55:53.239 --> 00:55:55.420
and whatever feeling the energy of the day Oh,

00:55:55.420 --> 00:55:58.679
yeah. Yeah, that's for sure and So that's fine,

00:55:58.679 --> 00:56:01.519
but literally you stand in line until my high

00:56:01.519 --> 00:56:04.800
school band, which is world -renowned comes by

00:56:05.289 --> 00:56:07.309
Usually the middle of the parade. It's like,

00:56:07.789 --> 00:56:09.889
yay, here's Marist High School. Woo -hoo. OK,

00:56:09.929 --> 00:56:13.309
we're getting pizza now, right? Not the most

00:56:13.309 --> 00:56:15.730
Irish thing to say is, let's go get that pizza.

00:56:16.349 --> 00:56:18.750
The Fox's Pub is an Irish place, so that's fine.

00:56:20.329 --> 00:56:21.989
But that's it. We would go down there. We got

00:56:21.989 --> 00:56:25.090
our tavern -style pizza. And I did that this

00:56:25.090 --> 00:56:28.409
year. And I made sure for Sickboy over here to

00:56:28.409 --> 00:56:30.309
get a bunch for him and bring it home. Very true.

00:56:32.300 --> 00:56:35.940
God, it's good. It is really, really tasty. Now,

00:56:35.940 --> 00:56:39.019
Tavern Style Pizza is special. That is a special

00:56:39.019 --> 00:56:42.780
team. Yeah. Like, cheeseburgers are good. It's

00:56:42.780 --> 00:56:44.940
very good. They're good. They're good on the

00:56:44.940 --> 00:56:47.260
court. They're good off the court. Tavern Style

00:56:47.260 --> 00:56:50.579
is special. It is. It really is. That is a strong

00:56:50.579 --> 00:56:52.880
one seed and they're there for a reason. For

00:56:52.880 --> 00:56:55.460
sure like it like they they've got good. It's

00:56:55.460 --> 00:56:57.599
like goat level. Yeah Yeah, so it's really gonna

00:56:57.599 --> 00:56:59.880
take something special to knock them off completely

00:56:59.880 --> 00:57:02.800
agree, but you know once again cheeseburger I'll

00:57:02.800 --> 00:57:05.940
eat a good cheeseburger damn, right yeah that

00:57:05.940 --> 00:57:09.260
moves to the other part The other matchup rather

00:57:09.260 --> 00:57:13.340
Italian beef versus deep dish the two six two

00:57:13.340 --> 00:57:18.039
six both Chicago Very Chicago very very Chicago

00:57:18.039 --> 00:57:21.039
deep dish got that surprise dub over steak sandwich

00:57:21.699 --> 00:57:24.000
But do they really beat Italian? Do they have

00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:26.219
enough in the tank to beat the beef? Right. I

00:57:26.219 --> 00:57:28.920
don't know. I don't know if you're talking like

00:57:28.920 --> 00:57:32.000
I could eat an Italian beef and decide. Yeah.

00:57:32.760 --> 00:57:34.920
I can't do that with a deep dish. The deep dish

00:57:34.920 --> 00:57:39.579
is the meal. A slice is the meal. So... Here's

00:57:39.579 --> 00:57:42.059
the way I look at it. Every time I've had deep

00:57:42.059 --> 00:57:44.940
dish pizza, it's been a party, it's been a Super

00:57:44.940 --> 00:57:46.860
Bowl, I have friends coming in from out of town,

00:57:47.079 --> 00:57:49.719
the tourist pizza. Right. And that's when I eat

00:57:49.719 --> 00:57:53.480
it. When I go out by myself to have a meal or

00:57:53.480 --> 00:57:55.539
to have a sandwich or whatever I'm going to do,

00:57:56.780 --> 00:58:00.099
countless times I've bought an Italian beef for

00:58:00.099 --> 00:58:02.820
myself. Right. I don't think I've ever bought

00:58:02.820 --> 00:58:06.320
a deep dish pizza for myself. No. So I think

00:58:06.320 --> 00:58:09.179
that is a strong argument to make. I would completely

00:58:09.179 --> 00:58:12.039
agree. And both can be made at home. They sell

00:58:12.039 --> 00:58:15.530
that frozen Italian beef in the au jus that you

00:58:15.530 --> 00:58:17.150
can heat up in a big pot. Put it in a slow cooker

00:58:17.150 --> 00:58:19.230
or whatever. Yeah, you can do that. You can make

00:58:19.230 --> 00:58:21.230
Italian beefs at home. They've got frozen deep

00:58:21.230 --> 00:58:23.909
dish pizzas which cook up very nicely. We have

00:58:23.909 --> 00:58:25.449
a place called Rosati's and they have them right

00:58:25.449 --> 00:58:27.389
when you walk in. They got the little refrigerator

00:58:27.389 --> 00:58:28.989
and they have the deep dish you can take home.

00:58:29.389 --> 00:58:33.670
So both are applicable for on the go or at home,

00:58:34.070 --> 00:58:37.309
but Italian beef just kind of wins at both. I

00:58:37.309 --> 00:58:39.769
think so. Yeah, deep dish strong game. I give

00:58:39.769 --> 00:58:42.619
you salutes, but... That Italian beef, get real.

00:58:43.820 --> 00:58:47.000
They're too strong. Too strong of a team, which

00:58:47.000 --> 00:58:50.019
brings us to a - To the matchup I feared. Yes,

00:58:50.260 --> 00:58:53.119
the one -two. The one and the two. Oh, no. The

00:58:53.119 --> 00:58:56.639
tavern -style pizza versus Italian beef. This

00:58:56.639 --> 00:58:59.900
is just nuts. I don't - What more can you say

00:58:59.900 --> 00:59:06.679
about either team, really? I don't know. I don't

00:59:06.679 --> 00:59:10.900
know. That's rough. It is. That is a rough go.

00:59:11.099 --> 00:59:15.780
I mean, God, I just, I want to say Italian beef

00:59:15.780 --> 00:59:19.460
because I've consumed more Italian beef than

00:59:19.460 --> 00:59:23.059
I have tavern -style pizza, I believe. It's probably

00:59:23.059 --> 00:59:28.019
fair. Does it make it better? Is the question.

00:59:28.679 --> 00:59:33.860
Right. Just because you've had more of it. You

00:59:33.860 --> 00:59:36.840
know, dude shows up to the party. Shows up, he's

00:59:36.840 --> 00:59:39.619
got an extra cheesy beef. and he's got a big

00:59:39.619 --> 00:59:41.980
tavern style pizza. Right. What's the first thing

00:59:41.980 --> 00:59:45.139
you're digging into? Oh, man. I can't even answer

00:59:45.139 --> 00:59:48.159
that. I don't know. I think I... It might be

00:59:48.159 --> 00:59:51.179
the pizza just because for people that have had

00:59:51.179 --> 00:59:54.840
Chicago style thin crust pizza, it's cut in squares,

00:59:54.980 --> 00:59:58.219
which means you have four teeny tiny triangular

00:59:58.219 --> 01:00:02.349
pieces on each one. The corners. I'll be damned

01:00:02.349 --> 01:00:03.630
if I'm not getting at least one of them. Right,

01:00:03.670 --> 01:00:05.389
right. I'm definitely gonna get one of those.

01:00:05.590 --> 01:00:07.670
Get one of those, get a couple edge pieces, a

01:00:07.670 --> 01:00:09.429
center piece, just so people don't complain you

01:00:09.429 --> 01:00:11.030
stole all the edge pieces. You stole all the

01:00:11.030 --> 01:00:13.329
edge pieces, yeah. I think I'm going pizza first.

01:00:14.010 --> 01:00:16.429
And I think I'm leaning pizza in the bracket

01:00:16.429 --> 01:00:22.329
a little bit. Mmm. Well, okay. Okay, here we

01:00:22.329 --> 01:00:25.949
go. We'll do the pizza. The old Tavern style.

01:00:26.309 --> 01:00:28.610
Although my heart hurts a little bit. on that

01:00:28.610 --> 01:00:30.829
one. It's one of those games that you don't want

01:00:30.829 --> 01:00:34.349
to see either team lose. Right. I agree. Wow.

01:00:34.650 --> 01:00:37.650
Okay. That's a tough bracket. That is a tough

01:00:37.650 --> 01:00:40.309
bracket. We're now to the final bracket called

01:00:40.309 --> 01:00:43.750
the dessert bracket. And we're just going to

01:00:43.750 --> 01:00:46.949
start right off. One versus eight. Chocolate

01:00:46.949 --> 01:00:52.429
cake. Staple. Versus vanilla ice cream. Now,

01:00:52.530 --> 01:00:55.789
I'm going to let my bias show again. I prefer

01:00:55.789 --> 01:00:59.099
ice cream to cake. Because I have had more dry

01:00:59.099 --> 01:01:02.699
cakes than I have had bad ice cream. And there

01:01:02.699 --> 01:01:05.519
is such thing as bad ice cream. Sure. You know,

01:01:05.880 --> 01:01:09.500
made cheaply or poorly or... Or it's so super

01:01:09.500 --> 01:01:12.099
frozen, it's so hard that you can't... You can

01:01:12.099 --> 01:01:14.820
hardly scoop it, you can hardly enjoy it. And

01:01:14.820 --> 01:01:16.980
cake doesn't give you brain freeze, where ice

01:01:16.980 --> 01:01:19.420
cream can. Yeah. You know, it's a dessert that

01:01:19.420 --> 01:01:22.099
can literally cause you pain. And brain freeze

01:01:22.099 --> 01:01:24.880
can actually be deadly. So it's a dessert that

01:01:24.880 --> 01:01:28.000
can kill you also. which I guess all desserts

01:01:28.000 --> 01:01:30.619
can because you know diabetes is a thing, but

01:01:30.619 --> 01:01:35.820
Betus the Betus I I kind of lean vanilla ice

01:01:35.820 --> 01:01:39.320
cream because you It's got the versatility of

01:01:39.320 --> 01:01:43.460
being the staple ingredient in almost every milkshake

01:01:43.460 --> 01:01:47.239
in almost every blizzard That's true. It's no

01:01:47.239 --> 01:01:50.780
It's no custard say from Culver's not sponsored,

01:01:50.780 --> 01:01:54.989
but I wish they would but I mean, I'll argue

01:01:54.989 --> 01:01:56.929
for vanilla ice cream, but chocolate cake is

01:01:56.929 --> 01:02:00.110
really difficult to beat. Here's my take. First

01:02:00.110 --> 01:02:02.889
of all, let's assume the chocolate cake is a

01:02:02.889 --> 01:02:07.250
moist cake. Right. It's solid. Vanilla ice cream

01:02:07.250 --> 01:02:11.329
on its own, to me, it's an unfinished product.

01:02:11.610 --> 01:02:14.210
Like I feel I have to add caramel. I have to

01:02:14.210 --> 01:02:15.949
add chocolate. Sure. I have to add chocolate

01:02:15.949 --> 01:02:19.010
chips. Like I have to add something to it to

01:02:19.010 --> 01:02:22.030
make it better. Right. I don't have to add anything

01:02:22.030 --> 01:02:23.889
to chocolate cake. Chocolate cake's chocolate

01:02:23.889 --> 01:02:29.409
cake. Right. So that's why I kind of veer towards

01:02:29.409 --> 01:02:31.570
the cake a little bit more. I can agree with

01:02:31.570 --> 01:02:34.610
that point. Because I always feel like if you

01:02:34.610 --> 01:02:37.329
have to keep adding something to something else

01:02:37.329 --> 01:02:40.309
to make it better, it's kind of hard to beat

01:02:40.309 --> 01:02:42.210
the once. Right, right. It almost makes it more

01:02:42.210 --> 01:02:44.550
of an ingredient with potential than it makes

01:02:44.550 --> 01:02:48.809
it a fully fledged. Yep. Dessert, so yeah chocolate

01:02:48.809 --> 01:02:50.969
cake. I think could pull away with that. Yeah,

01:02:50.969 --> 01:02:53.489
I think they do Yeah, I definitely think what's

01:02:53.489 --> 01:02:55.349
that one join is that portillo's that makes that

01:02:55.349 --> 01:02:57.110
chocolate chocolate cake shape? Yeah, man Well

01:02:57.110 --> 01:02:59.869
once again combining these two items right yeah

01:02:59.869 --> 01:03:02.849
All right, we have four or five which is always

01:03:02.849 --> 01:03:07.269
tough fudge brownies Against cheesecake first

01:03:07.269 --> 01:03:11.690
of all how dare you? These are both phenomenal.

01:03:11.989 --> 01:03:16.789
I love brownies brownies to me in my heart is

01:03:16.789 --> 01:03:20.050
the next level of chocolate cake. Because brownies

01:03:20.050 --> 01:03:24.949
are always moist. It's like, oh man. It's like

01:03:24.949 --> 01:03:28.849
if fudge and cake had a child. You know? Yeah,

01:03:29.050 --> 01:03:31.809
that's it, exactly. I love brownies, a lot. You

01:03:31.809 --> 01:03:33.949
could even put that a four -mentioned losing

01:03:33.949 --> 01:03:36.489
team vanilla ice cream with fudge brownies. On

01:03:36.489 --> 01:03:38.670
top of number four. A little something called

01:03:38.670 --> 01:03:41.030
ala mode, I believe. Ala mode, baby. Yeah, that's

01:03:41.030 --> 01:03:44.920
good stuff. But I... in my life have never voted

01:03:44.920 --> 01:03:47.400
against cheesecake. In fact, I've never voted

01:03:47.400 --> 01:03:49.820
for cheesecake because I've never been given

01:03:49.820 --> 01:03:53.059
the choice. The opportunity, yeah. But I really,

01:03:53.059 --> 01:03:56.619
really love cheesecake. I do too. I do too. Like,

01:03:56.900 --> 01:04:01.340
I want to see a world where brownies takes on

01:04:01.340 --> 01:04:04.280
chocolate cake, but I think I love cheesecake

01:04:04.280 --> 01:04:07.579
too much to let it happen. I do too, and cheesecake

01:04:07.579 --> 01:04:10.139
stands on its own. You really don't have to add

01:04:10.139 --> 01:04:12.940
anything to it. Right. And if that crust... That

01:04:12.940 --> 01:04:15.820
graham cracker crust is just right. Right. Man,

01:04:15.820 --> 01:04:19.000
it's perfect. But you can add things to the cheesecake.

01:04:19.340 --> 01:04:21.559
Strawberries. Strawberries, cherries. You can

01:04:21.559 --> 01:04:25.260
even do that turtle cheesecake. Yes. Shit. I

01:04:25.260 --> 01:04:29.719
think brownies is really strong, but I think

01:04:29.719 --> 01:04:31.820
cheesecake gets the narrow victor. I think you're

01:04:31.820 --> 01:04:36.280
right. Yeah. I do like that. That's good. That's

01:04:36.280 --> 01:04:38.699
tough. Five over four. That is tough. And that

01:04:38.699 --> 01:04:42.789
moves us. to the 2 -7, number two, chocolate

01:04:42.789 --> 01:04:45.530
chip cookie. Beautiful. American. Beautiful.

01:04:45.550 --> 01:04:47.210
Can't even say American staple. It might be a

01:04:47.210 --> 01:04:50.489
global staple. I think you're right. Versus number

01:04:50.489 --> 01:04:55.849
seven, chocolate chip ice cream. Ooh. Now chocolate

01:04:55.849 --> 01:04:58.690
chip ice cream is essentially vanilla with a

01:04:58.690 --> 01:05:02.510
little pizzazz. Or you can also have mint ice

01:05:02.510 --> 01:05:06.030
cream. That mint chocolate chip. Ooh, yeah. That

01:05:06.030 --> 01:05:10.599
is good stuff. But... In no world in my mind

01:05:10.599 --> 01:05:13.039
just my opinion in no world does it beat out

01:05:13.039 --> 01:05:16.000
chocolate chip cookies? That's that's this is

01:05:16.000 --> 01:05:19.260
this is another competition another to seven

01:05:19.260 --> 01:05:22.440
Yeah, where if you were to combine them into

01:05:22.440 --> 01:05:25.179
a chocolate chip cookie chocolate chip ice cream

01:05:25.179 --> 01:05:28.699
sandwich You're gonna create a tasty vortex.

01:05:28.719 --> 01:05:31.840
Yes both teams combined may win the bracket,

01:05:31.840 --> 01:05:35.800
but we can't do that No, we do this now. I think

01:05:35.800 --> 01:05:39.579
cookie moves I do too. So cookie moves along

01:05:39.579 --> 01:05:43.639
to the final match up here in the dessert bracket

01:05:43.639 --> 01:05:48.360
Red velvet cake number three versus number six

01:05:48.360 --> 01:05:53.000
sugar. Oh Man, I love sugar cookies But red velvet

01:05:53.000 --> 01:05:56.639
cake is really fucking tasty. It's great. It's

01:05:56.639 --> 01:06:00.699
epic and when when given the choice When given

01:06:00.699 --> 01:06:05.360
the choice I will typically take cookies or ice

01:06:05.360 --> 01:06:09.579
cream over cake. I will usually I'll just do

01:06:09.579 --> 01:06:13.699
that because I've had too many dry cakes to gamble.

01:06:14.539 --> 01:06:17.059
I'm not a huge dessert guy so usually if dessert

01:06:17.059 --> 01:06:20.340
is available I'll just have an item and I've

01:06:20.340 --> 01:06:22.699
taken too many gambles with cake and lost. It's

01:06:22.699 --> 01:06:27.380
been dry. So I'll take the cookies. I lean cookie.

01:06:27.969 --> 01:06:30.630
But red velvet cake is really tough to beat.

01:06:30.630 --> 01:06:33.130
It's really tough to beat. It's really tough

01:06:33.130 --> 01:06:35.469
because your grandmother made an amazing red

01:06:35.469 --> 01:06:38.190
velvet cake. There's a few restaurants in Chicago

01:06:38.190 --> 01:06:39.969
that make an amazing red velvet cake. There's

01:06:39.969 --> 01:06:43.789
a place that I used to go to in Florida. Red

01:06:43.789 --> 01:06:45.969
velvet cake that would blow your sack off, man.

01:06:45.969 --> 01:06:49.030
It was so good. I love red velvet cake. Might

01:06:49.030 --> 01:06:51.230
be my favorite cake, to be completely honest,

01:06:51.329 --> 01:06:54.969
of all of the cakes. But sugar cookies are stable.

01:06:55.070 --> 01:06:57.619
Here's the thing about sugar cookies. I feel

01:06:57.619 --> 01:07:01.860
like they get stale quickly. Oh, sure. If you

01:07:01.860 --> 01:07:04.639
have a sugar cookie and it's a soft sugar cookie,

01:07:05.179 --> 01:07:06.699
you let set a couple of days. You're like, oh,

01:07:06.699 --> 01:07:08.260
I've got those cookies and you go in there. Now

01:07:08.260 --> 01:07:09.980
all of a sudden it's crunchy. Right. Now you're

01:07:09.980 --> 01:07:12.219
like, it's probably still OK, but now you're

01:07:12.219 --> 01:07:15.440
like, oh. Yeah. I missed its prime cookiness.

01:07:15.739 --> 01:07:18.639
Yes. Yeah, the soft sugar cookie is its prime.

01:07:18.739 --> 01:07:22.239
And you're right with the shelf life. I mean,

01:07:22.980 --> 01:07:24.969
this is a tough. This is a tough competition.

01:07:25.050 --> 01:07:27.050
This is a tough competition right here. Tough

01:07:27.050 --> 01:07:30.329
teams on both sides. I'm torn on this one. I

01:07:30.329 --> 01:07:33.289
guess that brings my point down that I was making

01:07:33.289 --> 01:07:35.989
earlier that would have put cookies ahead. Right.

01:07:36.510 --> 01:07:39.110
Of taking that gamble because you're also taking

01:07:39.110 --> 01:07:41.769
the gamble with the age of the cookie. Sure.

01:07:42.170 --> 01:07:44.289
Yeah. You know. So maybe that puts red velvet

01:07:44.289 --> 01:07:47.750
cake ahead. It could do it. I think it does slightly.

01:07:47.889 --> 01:07:50.070
I think it does. Because I do love sugar cookies

01:07:50.070 --> 01:07:53.400
too. A close victory. Close victory for the red

01:07:53.400 --> 01:07:57.719
velvet cake. Next round, chocolate cake versus

01:07:57.719 --> 01:08:03.239
cheesecake. Oh, shit. Right? Well, I think my

01:08:03.239 --> 01:08:07.480
previous argument still stands. Yeah. And I think

01:08:07.480 --> 01:08:12.239
in my mind, the five beats the one. But you've

01:08:12.239 --> 01:08:15.500
still got, you've still got a veto. So if you

01:08:15.500 --> 01:08:18.520
don't like where my mind's at. You like cheesecake

01:08:18.520 --> 01:08:20.300
over chocolate cake? I like cheesecake over chocolate

01:08:20.300 --> 01:08:23.930
cake. Let's go. Let's go! Let's go. The big 5

01:08:23.930 --> 01:08:27.750
-1 upset. Upset. Oh, man. Cheesecake moves on.

01:08:28.430 --> 01:08:30.850
Now we have chocolate chip cookie versus red

01:08:30.850 --> 01:08:36.170
velvet cake. Oh, God. Jesus. The 2 -3. That's

01:08:36.170 --> 01:08:39.449
really rough. That's really rough. Now here's

01:08:39.449 --> 01:08:43.250
the thing. The same issue with red velvet cake,

01:08:43.470 --> 01:08:45.789
hoping it's a moist one rather than a dry one.

01:08:45.789 --> 01:08:49.210
That's fair. I don't fuck with crunchy cookies.

01:08:49.500 --> 01:08:52.760
It's got to be a chewy chocolate chip. Kind of

01:08:52.760 --> 01:08:55.760
like, and I think about this because growing

01:08:55.760 --> 01:08:58.100
up in the household that we did, people are always

01:08:58.100 --> 01:08:59.960
cooking or baking or doing stuff in the kitchen.

01:09:00.000 --> 01:09:03.239
Right. And we baked our cookies whenever somebody

01:09:03.239 --> 01:09:05.939
would do those cookies right off that pan when

01:09:05.939 --> 01:09:08.359
they're warm. Dude. And moist. Unbelievable.

01:09:08.779 --> 01:09:11.460
That's it. Yes. But like you go to the store

01:09:11.460 --> 01:09:14.220
and like Chips Ahoy, for example, it's a brand

01:09:14.220 --> 01:09:16.920
of chocolate chip cookie. Or if you're in England,

01:09:17.060 --> 01:09:22.359
a biscuit, I suppose. Boo. I love my English

01:09:22.359 --> 01:09:26.800
listeners. Hi, guys. Anyway, just leave Northern

01:09:26.800 --> 01:09:30.960
Ireland alone. Right. So I think about it and

01:09:30.960 --> 01:09:33.800
it's just it's crispy. And I don't I don't know.

01:09:34.239 --> 01:09:36.359
Like if I have a chips away cookie, I'll have

01:09:36.359 --> 01:09:39.020
a cookie. Yeah. Because I just need that little

01:09:39.020 --> 01:09:40.880
bit of sugary fix. And then I'm like done with

01:09:40.880 --> 01:09:43.920
that. But and you get cookies fresh out of the

01:09:43.920 --> 01:09:46.520
oven. That chewy chocolate chip is really tough

01:09:46.520 --> 01:09:49.439
to beat. Yeah. But it's got to be the chewy one

01:09:49.439 --> 01:09:51.399
the crunchy one just feels like I'm eating a

01:09:51.399 --> 01:09:55.500
dog biscuit Kind of sort of in a way yeah But

01:09:55.500 --> 01:09:58.619
then we're back on red velvet cake right where

01:09:58.619 --> 01:10:01.699
if it's moist it blows your sack off right if

01:10:01.699 --> 01:10:05.020
it's a little bit dry It's just kind of meh right

01:10:05.020 --> 01:10:09.680
oh man That's tough. It's essentially two teams

01:10:09.680 --> 01:10:14.079
That are very strong, but have clear weaknesses.

01:10:14.520 --> 01:10:17.930
Yes. It just depends who's hot that day That's

01:10:17.930 --> 01:10:20.970
right Now what else a coin flip what more often

01:10:20.970 --> 01:10:22.890
do you make at home red velvet cake or chocolate

01:10:22.890 --> 01:10:25.270
chip cookies cookies? And they're more accessible

01:10:25.270 --> 01:10:29.529
in the grocery store well Is that the coin flip?

01:10:29.909 --> 01:10:32.569
I think we just did our own point. Yeah chocolate

01:10:32.569 --> 01:10:36.750
chip cookie advances. We're now Have the finals

01:10:36.750 --> 01:10:38.890
in this bracket cheesecake versus chocolate chip

01:10:38.890 --> 01:10:44.930
cookies the two versus the five. Oh man, I once

01:10:44.930 --> 01:10:49.920
again We have had to make arguments. Well, not

01:10:49.920 --> 01:10:52.039
really arguing with each other, but arguments

01:10:52.039 --> 01:10:54.779
on behalf of these desserts. We've had to make

01:10:54.779 --> 01:10:58.020
arguments for chocolate chip cookies to get them

01:10:58.020 --> 01:11:00.979
this far. We have. Every match Cheesecake has

01:11:00.979 --> 01:11:05.239
been in. One on its own. One on its own. I think

01:11:05.239 --> 01:11:07.460
the number five clears it. I think the number

01:11:07.460 --> 01:11:11.380
five clears it. Let's go, Cheesecake. Well done.

01:11:11.779 --> 01:11:16.189
A deserved victory. No doubt. Ladies and gentlemen

01:11:16.189 --> 01:11:18.369
for those of you that have managed to stick with

01:11:18.369 --> 01:11:21.750
us on this lovely this journey munch madness

01:11:21.750 --> 01:11:25.810
We're now down to four. It's where we cross the

01:11:25.810 --> 01:11:29.130
streams. Yep Snack bracket winter versus the

01:11:29.130 --> 01:11:32.609
appetizer side bracket We have chips versus wings.

01:11:32.649 --> 01:11:38.210
Oh man. Oh Man chips versus wings first seed

01:11:38.210 --> 01:11:45.010
chip Versus three seed wings. Yep. Holy That's

01:11:45.010 --> 01:11:49.930
I mean I lean wings just because I prefer the

01:11:49.930 --> 01:11:55.149
the meal esque Vibe of the wing. Yeah, whereas

01:11:55.149 --> 01:12:00.109
like I'm not gonna sit down and eat chips as

01:12:00.109 --> 01:12:03.010
My food for that moment. Mm -hmm. I'm gonna sit

01:12:03.010 --> 01:12:06.050
down and eat the wings Sure, the chips can accompany

01:12:06.050 --> 01:12:09.449
the wings. Perhaps they could but that then makes

01:12:09.449 --> 01:12:13.489
them You know, it makes them the Robin to the

01:12:13.489 --> 01:12:18.270
Winged Batman. Hmm. Could be. I'm trying to think.

01:12:18.430 --> 01:12:20.829
Like, if you're at a Super Bowl party, it's a

01:12:20.829 --> 01:12:23.609
table full of food. You got a big bowl of chips.

01:12:24.130 --> 01:12:25.829
Whatever chips you like. Say they're your favorite

01:12:25.829 --> 01:12:28.289
kind of chip. But you got a big platter of wings

01:12:28.289 --> 01:12:29.729
there, too. It's the first thing you're grabbing.

01:12:29.909 --> 01:12:31.810
Right. Oh, it's the first thing I'm grabbing.

01:12:32.569 --> 01:12:37.090
My favorite chips versus a big bowl of wings.

01:12:37.329 --> 01:12:41.180
Yeah. You know what? I grab the chips first.

01:12:41.359 --> 01:12:43.600
Do ya? I grab the chips first because I will

01:12:43.600 --> 01:12:46.600
enjoy my chips with my dips and then maybe hit

01:12:46.600 --> 01:12:49.640
the wings later. Move up. Move up. But you start

01:12:49.640 --> 01:12:53.020
with the chips. I think you do. Yeah. Oh, man.

01:12:53.899 --> 01:12:56.300
Did I just make an argument for chips? You totally

01:12:56.300 --> 01:12:58.739
talked me out of the wings. Yet I think chips

01:12:58.739 --> 01:13:03.619
wins, right? Mm -hmm. I do. The one seed beats

01:13:03.619 --> 01:13:09.289
the three seed. And that brings us to... Cheesecake

01:13:09.289 --> 01:13:12.470
versus tavern -style pizza. Oh my god. That's

01:13:12.470 --> 01:13:15.029
almost not even fair. It's not even remotely

01:13:15.029 --> 01:13:17.869
fair. That's not fair I feel like I cheated cheesecake

01:13:17.869 --> 01:13:22.529
out but oh man That's so tough because if we're

01:13:22.529 --> 01:13:26.670
going by the same Logic of both are in front

01:13:26.670 --> 01:13:28.970
of you. Which one are you grabbing? Of course?

01:13:28.970 --> 01:13:31.729
I'm grabbing the pizza 100 % because desserts

01:13:31.729 --> 01:13:34.630
always the last thing you do dessert is the thing

01:13:34.630 --> 01:13:38.310
you do if you have room If you don't have room,

01:13:38.649 --> 01:13:40.710
you skip dessert. You feel full, you look at

01:13:40.710 --> 01:13:43.029
it, and your first thought is, ugh. Yeah. It's

01:13:43.029 --> 01:13:45.189
like, ah, shit, maybe I'll revisit this in 30

01:13:45.189 --> 01:13:47.569
minutes. Right, exactly. Yeah. But you always

01:13:47.569 --> 01:13:50.550
grab the pizza first. 100%. And if I'm full,

01:13:50.569 --> 01:13:53.090
I'll still grab a slice of pizza. Right. Yeah,

01:13:53.250 --> 01:13:55.890
cheesecake is filling. As desserts go, cheesecake

01:13:55.890 --> 01:13:59.189
is filling. So you've got to have room. But if

01:13:59.189 --> 01:14:00.989
I'm eating pizza, there's not going to be any

01:14:00.989 --> 01:14:04.189
room, because I prioritize the pizza. You're

01:14:04.189 --> 01:14:06.630
just going to munch on that pizza. Yeah. man

01:14:06.630 --> 01:14:09.050
that five seed cheesecake went a long way but

01:14:09.050 --> 01:14:11.250
it's hard to beat tavern style hard to beat it

01:14:11.250 --> 01:14:13.310
and then that leaves us with chips versus the

01:14:13.310 --> 01:14:16.850
tavern style pizza chips has been on one hell

01:14:16.850 --> 01:14:20.289
of a run hell of a run but let's be real let's

01:14:20.289 --> 01:14:23.390
let's be real with everybody right now not gonna

01:14:23.390 --> 01:14:27.189
happen no not gonna happen so strong not gonna

01:14:27.189 --> 01:14:31.050
happen like i almost feel like wings might have

01:14:31.050 --> 01:14:33.979
put up a better battle against the tavern style

01:14:33.979 --> 01:14:36.279
pizza but once again i just don't sometimes that's

01:14:36.279 --> 01:14:39.180
how brackets fall that's how they fall yeah tavern

01:14:39.180 --> 01:14:43.260

01:17:40.529 --> 01:17:46.170
that's great Got a DM here from huge man They

01:17:46.170 --> 01:17:50.350
ask, how huge is too huge of a man? It depends

01:17:50.350 --> 01:17:53.250
if we're still in the basketball mindset, because

01:17:53.250 --> 01:17:56.529
I feel like... Eight inches? Huh? Oh, never mind.

01:17:56.729 --> 01:17:59.850
Never mind. Never mind. What? What? Whew. Huge

01:17:59.850 --> 01:18:01.890
man. I'm warm. I'm warm now, all of a sudden.

01:18:02.010 --> 01:18:03.430
What am I doing? What do you mean, huge man?

01:18:03.430 --> 01:18:09.409
Where am I? Ha. Ha. Anyway. Well. Well. That's

01:18:09.409 --> 01:18:12.779
been the show. See ya. Whew. Warm. Nah, I would

01:18:12.779 --> 01:18:14.439
say if we're talking basketball, you could go

01:18:14.439 --> 01:18:17.560
seven feet plus, but if I'm like conversing with

01:18:17.560 --> 01:18:21.239
somebody and they're like six foot five or taller,

01:18:22.079 --> 01:18:27.000
I am unsettled. Yeah. You know? I don't know

01:18:27.000 --> 01:18:29.319
how Kevin does it. I don't like craning my neck

01:18:29.319 --> 01:18:33.319
up to speak with somebody. Right. But then also

01:18:33.319 --> 01:18:35.859
I've kind of been blessed being 6 '1", that I

01:18:35.859 --> 01:18:38.819
really haven't gotten used to it. So maybe it's

01:18:38.819 --> 01:18:41.600
just a thing I'm not used to people being...

01:18:41.399 --> 01:18:43.779
much taller than me, but I feel like 6 '5 and

01:18:43.779 --> 01:18:46.140
above, that's just unreasonable. That's just

01:18:46.140 --> 01:18:48.220
tall. That's tall, tall. That's tall just to

01:18:48.220 --> 01:18:50.479
be tall. Like, he could have stopped. Right.

01:18:50.699 --> 01:18:51.899
Like, what's your speciality? What are you trying

01:18:51.899 --> 01:18:54.720
to prove? Bonking your head on shit? Like, okay.

01:18:55.159 --> 01:19:00.039
Wow, great. Is your name Duck? Right. How's the

01:19:00.039 --> 01:19:01.720
weather up there? How's the weather up there,

01:19:01.939 --> 01:19:05.220
Chief? Yeah, that's 6 '5 and above is too tall

01:19:05.220 --> 01:19:07.880
for a person, I would say. It's fair. 6 '5, 6

01:19:07.880 --> 01:19:10.680
'6? Yeah. Say that's just too much. And then

01:19:10.680 --> 01:19:14.140
anything above like, if you're talking 300 pounds

01:19:14.140 --> 01:19:18.239
of muscle or more than that, I will assume you're

01:19:18.239 --> 01:19:22.260
on some type of growth hormone. Exactly. I mean,

01:19:22.380 --> 01:19:23.439
that's just, there's no way. You've got like

01:19:23.439 --> 01:19:25.579
the Andre the Giant disease. Right, unless you

01:19:25.579 --> 01:19:27.739
live at the gym, there's no way that's natty,

01:19:27.779 --> 01:19:30.600
you know? No, it's not. In my personal opinion,

01:19:30.960 --> 01:19:33.779
yeah. So 6 '5", 300 pounds, anything larger than

01:19:33.779 --> 01:19:35.960
that, that's a no -go. I agree. In my opinion.

01:19:36.220 --> 01:19:39.520
Yep, I agree. The last DM I received, a cob of

01:19:39.520 --> 01:19:43.340
corn asks, what's the best way to consume corn?

01:19:44.199 --> 01:19:48.000
Oh, you said it in your at -name, man. Just on

01:19:48.000 --> 01:19:52.220
that cob, baby. Buttered up, salted, cob of sweet

01:19:52.220 --> 01:19:55.420
corn, maybe fresh off the grill. Yep. Well, that's

01:19:55.420 --> 01:19:58.520
what you do. When it's raw, before you cook it,

01:19:59.119 --> 01:20:01.699
you slather it in butter. Oh, yeah. You salt,

01:20:01.819 --> 01:20:03.859
you pepper, whatever you like on it. Some people

01:20:03.859 --> 01:20:06.260
use, like, the cayenne or whatever. Oh, yeah,

01:20:06.359 --> 01:20:07.899
for sure. A little kick to it. Little peppers,

01:20:08.079 --> 01:20:09.600
yeah. And then you put it on the grill, but you

01:20:09.600 --> 01:20:11.319
wrap it in tin foil. Then you put it on the grill.

01:20:11.479 --> 01:20:13.960
Keeps that moisture in. Yeah. Yeah. It's a smart

01:20:13.960 --> 01:20:15.640
move. And then you take your steaks or your chops

01:20:15.640 --> 01:20:19.420
off or your burgers. Then you got that corn.

01:20:19.579 --> 01:20:21.800
It's ready to roll. Beautiful. Yeah, Cobb is

01:20:21.800 --> 01:20:26.220
fantastic. I would say in chip form, corn chips.

01:20:26.489 --> 01:20:29.489
Corn tortilla chips. Oh, I like that. Yeah, we

01:20:29.489 --> 01:20:32.029
went with that. Yeah, that's a fantastic way

01:20:32.029 --> 01:20:35.829
to consume corn Yeah, I like like cream corn

01:20:35.829 --> 01:20:38.170
as like a side on Thanksgiving or sister Alex

01:20:38.170 --> 01:20:40.649
loves cream She with that kid man. She would

01:20:40.649 --> 01:20:43.109
eat cream corn any time. Yeah, like as a side

01:20:43.109 --> 01:20:45.430
I think it's fantastic and we always make that

01:20:45.430 --> 01:20:47.609
same argument of like well, we all love Thanksgiving

01:20:47.609 --> 01:20:49.649
food so much Why do we all need why do I hear

01:20:49.649 --> 01:20:52.090
right exactly same could go for cream corn? I

01:20:52.090 --> 01:20:54.369
only ever eat it during Thanksgiving time. You're

01:20:54.369 --> 01:20:57.890
right same so An interesting thought. Interesting

01:20:57.890 --> 01:20:59.550
thought, very thoughtful advice. If you're a

01:20:59.550 --> 01:21:02.609
regular cream corn eater, head us up. Yeah, let

01:21:02.609 --> 01:21:05.350
us know. We want to know who you are. Yeah, and

01:21:05.350 --> 01:21:09.670
why. And why. I'm very curious. Just inquisitive.

01:21:10.489 --> 01:21:12.449
That was the last DM I got. All right, I'm going

01:21:12.449 --> 01:21:16.810
to move on to mine. This is from atbouttoloseit.

01:21:17.109 --> 01:21:19.989
Oh, OK. Hi, guys. Love your show. What do you

01:21:19.989 --> 01:21:23.109
guys do to relax? Shit's been crazy lately, and

01:21:23.109 --> 01:21:26.189
I need to chill. Boy, that's a great question.

01:21:26.449 --> 01:21:30.029
And a lot of us are living that as well. Yeah,

01:21:30.109 --> 01:21:36.449
I would say you could try heroin. Whoa. So what

01:21:36.449 --> 01:21:37.949
you're gonna wanna do is you're gonna wanna get

01:21:37.949 --> 01:21:41.409
some H. Right. Let's start there. Worked out

01:21:41.409 --> 01:21:45.130
great for Kurt Cobain. Oh, too soon? Too soon.

01:21:45.250 --> 01:21:47.250
Not soon enough. Not soon enough. Now, a more

01:21:47.250 --> 01:21:50.229
serious answer I would say, I've been spending

01:21:50.229 --> 01:21:54.149
so little time on social media recently. Like,

01:21:54.329 --> 01:21:57.229
I hardly open Facebook, I've been opening Reddit

01:21:57.229 --> 01:22:00.609
less and less, I rarely use Instagram or anything

01:22:00.609 --> 01:22:03.449
like that. The less time you spend on social

01:22:03.449 --> 01:22:06.789
media, I guarantee the happier and more relaxed

01:22:06.789 --> 01:22:10.489
you will feel. Because it's just... I mean, not

01:22:10.489 --> 01:22:12.930
to get all like, boomer, all kids on their phones

01:22:12.930 --> 01:22:16.310
these days, but it's true. Not maybe in the way

01:22:16.310 --> 01:22:18.149
they're thinking about it, but it's true in the

01:22:18.149 --> 01:22:21.350
fact that social media really sucks you in. And

01:22:21.350 --> 01:22:23.430
I mean the amount of scientific studies out there

01:22:23.430 --> 01:22:26.409
that prove like the more time you spend on Facebook

01:22:26.409 --> 01:22:29.649
legitimately the less happy you are. So I would

01:22:29.649 --> 01:22:32.489
say start there, spend less time on social media.

01:22:33.250 --> 01:22:35.050
I would say one thing that always helps me calm

01:22:35.050 --> 01:22:37.510
down especially after a long work day is just

01:22:37.510 --> 01:22:42.010
a big bowl of mac and cheese, a brewski, and

01:22:42.010 --> 01:22:44.750
throwing something funny on my TV. Comfort food,

01:22:44.869 --> 01:22:48.779
a beer. and something funny. Yeah. Yep, that's

01:22:48.779 --> 01:22:50.859
true. I'd say that's steps one, two, and three.

01:22:50.960 --> 01:22:53.579
Also a shower. Like if you're physically stressed.

01:22:53.819 --> 01:22:56.939
Agreed. The first thing you do, work boots off,

01:22:57.140 --> 01:23:01.000
hop in the shower. Instant refresh. Yep. I absolutely

01:23:01.000 --> 01:23:04.600
agree with that. That was gonna be my answer,

01:23:04.699 --> 01:23:07.260
like part A and part B. Part B is go to bed.

01:23:07.779 --> 01:23:12.979
Take a nap. Oh, smart. Just shut down. If you're

01:23:12.979 --> 01:23:16.329
kind of... in that mode where you need to take

01:23:16.329 --> 01:23:19.329
it down a notch, take a nap. Yeah, that's smart.

01:23:19.890 --> 01:23:22.569
Take that hot shower, take a nap, wake up refreshed

01:23:22.569 --> 01:23:25.770
and just slowly kind of get back into it. Yeah,

01:23:26.050 --> 01:23:29.890
because stress and tiredness go hand in hand.

01:23:30.170 --> 01:23:32.869
They do. Stress is a killer. Right. That's not

01:23:32.869 --> 01:23:35.520
what you want. Nope. And if you're too stressed,

01:23:35.560 --> 01:23:37.199
like we were saying earlier about the heroin,

01:23:37.880 --> 01:23:41.119
I mean, it's a thought. All right, let's take

01:23:41.119 --> 01:23:43.840
H off the table for right now. Oh, if it's not

01:23:43.840 --> 01:23:47.659
an option. Let's just assume everybody doesn't

01:23:47.659 --> 01:23:51.760
have heroin in their top left desk drawer. Oh,

01:23:51.760 --> 01:23:56.199
you guys don't? No, Aiden. No, we don't. But

01:23:56.199 --> 01:23:59.199
let's just maybe throw on the table, maybe a

01:23:59.199 --> 01:24:02.859
pen, maybe some edibles, maybe something like

01:24:02.859 --> 01:24:05.569
that. Right. A little indica. Yeah, something

01:24:05.569 --> 01:24:08.189
to bring you down some. I unfortunately live

01:24:08.189 --> 01:24:12.630
where it's not legal and I am tested to ensure

01:24:12.630 --> 01:24:14.510
I'm not on it. Although we can drive an hour

01:24:14.510 --> 01:24:17.289
in either direction and to get it legally. Right.

01:24:17.850 --> 01:24:20.170
Which is weird. It's almost like the state we

01:24:20.170 --> 01:24:22.210
live in is pretty dog shit and is just losing

01:24:22.210 --> 01:24:26.310
tax revenue because they're egotistical and or

01:24:26.310 --> 01:24:28.989
legitimately stupid. They're just legitimately

01:24:28.989 --> 01:24:31.649
stupid. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Interesting how

01:24:31.649 --> 01:24:33.989
that works. But yeah, that's a good idea. Indeed

01:24:33.989 --> 01:24:39.869
it is yeah indeed quite indubitably hmm at Mike

01:24:39.869 --> 01:24:43.609
check Chuck all my man I'm always singing dudes

01:24:43.609 --> 01:24:47.569
if I were at karaoke and you jump up on stage

01:24:47.569 --> 01:24:52.329
What are you belting out my guys? Oh? Oh? That's

01:24:52.329 --> 01:24:57.010
a good question That's a good question if it's

01:24:57.010 --> 01:24:59.590
I Depends what crowd I'm around right yeah cuz

01:24:59.590 --> 01:25:02.739
like If I'm with the boys and we got a couple

01:25:02.739 --> 01:25:04.800
of them up there, I'm cracking out something

01:25:04.800 --> 01:25:08.800
Frank Sinatra. You know, we'll sing. Yeah. Fly

01:25:08.800 --> 01:25:12.359
me to the moon. Yeah, we'll crack out some Frankie.

01:25:13.060 --> 01:25:16.960
That could be a good one. I would say if I'm

01:25:16.960 --> 01:25:20.680
feeling edgy, maybe some type of rap track, maybe

01:25:20.680 --> 01:25:22.880
not like us, even though I would really have

01:25:22.880 --> 01:25:27.479
to be cautious to ensure to censor words I'm

01:25:27.479 --> 01:25:31.039
not allowed to say. You replace it with something.

01:25:31.600 --> 01:25:34.300
Right, replacement. Yes. So I think that's got

01:25:34.300 --> 01:25:37.399
potential. Mm -hmm. Yeah, probably one of those.

01:25:38.340 --> 01:25:41.880
I think gin and juice does not have any end bombs

01:25:41.880 --> 01:25:43.579
in it. So you could just go up there saying gin

01:25:43.579 --> 01:25:46.159
and juice. You could do that. And that's a solid

01:25:46.159 --> 01:25:48.079
choice. That's a solid choice. It's a song everyone

01:25:48.079 --> 01:25:51.600
knows. Yep. So yeah, gin and juice not like us

01:25:51.600 --> 01:25:54.420
or anything Frank Sinatra would be for me. I

01:25:54.420 --> 01:25:56.800
agree. It depends who you're with or what you're

01:25:56.800 --> 01:26:01.880
doing. Because last night I made mention earlier

01:26:01.880 --> 01:26:05.699
in the show we ended up at a late bar called

01:26:05.699 --> 01:26:07.800
Duffy's and there was a band they were pretty

01:26:07.800 --> 01:26:12.359
decent and After the band stopped it went back

01:26:12.359 --> 01:26:15.720
To the jukebox which immediately filled up with

01:26:15.720 --> 01:26:20.520
all sorts of music. So this song by Marvin Gaye

01:26:20.520 --> 01:26:23.960
and Tammy Terrell Ain't no mountain high enough

01:26:23.960 --> 01:26:26.939
started playing. Oh sure. Well My friend Jess

01:26:26.939 --> 01:26:30.819
and I, we immediately start belting it out. She's

01:26:30.819 --> 01:26:32.640
doing the girl parts, I'm doing the guy parts.

01:26:33.100 --> 01:26:36.359
All of a sudden I'm like, you know, karaoke terrifies

01:26:36.359 --> 01:26:38.180
me. You're talking about a guy that lives behind

01:26:38.180 --> 01:26:41.119
a microphone, whether I'm seeing, or I have my

01:26:41.119 --> 01:26:43.600
radio show, or this podcast, and the thought

01:26:43.600 --> 01:26:47.220
of me going up in a bar, where 95 % of the people

01:26:47.220 --> 01:26:50.600
aren't gonna give a shit anyway, and singing

01:26:50.600 --> 01:26:53.479
something terrifies me. I'd almost rather get

01:26:53.479 --> 01:26:56.520
in a shark cage. And that says a lot for you

01:26:56.520 --> 01:26:59.659
and that says a lot for me, but we like did that

01:26:59.659 --> 01:27:03.659
and I said if I ever do this I Will do this song

01:27:03.659 --> 01:27:06.479
with you. I said, that's it. Yeah, I said and

01:27:06.479 --> 01:27:10.119
if I get past that it takes some of that anxiety

01:27:10.119 --> 01:27:14.220
away. Yeah, then Aidan and I have discussed in

01:27:14.220 --> 01:27:17.420
the past about doing this song what you won't

01:27:17.420 --> 01:27:22.279
do for love. Oh Bobby Caldwell Bobby Caldwell

01:27:22.279 --> 01:27:27.159
the Blackest white man ever so soulful so so

01:27:27.159 --> 01:27:30.020
it's like Indiana Jones He does the dudes disease

01:27:30.020 --> 01:27:33.100
got several vibes going at once and we had talked

01:27:33.100 --> 01:27:35.039
about doing that So that might have to be my

01:27:35.039 --> 01:27:37.279
second song, so we'll see how that goes. That's

01:27:37.279 --> 01:27:39.520
a great idea Mike check Chuck. That's that's

01:27:39.520 --> 01:27:43.500
good call -out Definitely good at so over at

01:27:43.500 --> 01:27:48.199
23 This is deep. Had a friend to betray me, a

01:27:48.199 --> 01:27:50.699
boyfriend cheat on me, and a boss throw me under

01:27:50.699 --> 01:27:54.500
the bus in the same week. Wow. What should I

01:27:54.500 --> 01:27:57.560
do? Hitmen are too expensive. You know what?

01:27:57.600 --> 01:28:00.159
You are a strong independent woman, I assume.

01:28:00.479 --> 01:28:03.500
You're a strong independent being. Become a hitman

01:28:03.500 --> 01:28:06.760
yourself. There you go. Go out there. Judge,

01:28:06.760 --> 01:28:09.560
jury, executioner. Damn right. You could even

01:28:09.560 --> 01:28:11.539
bring an axe. Build a guillotine in their front

01:28:11.539 --> 01:28:14.189
yard and say, come on. Let's go. Come on. You

01:28:14.189 --> 01:28:17.770
know what's up. Absolutely. Yeah. Well, here's

01:28:17.770 --> 01:28:19.550
what I would say. If you had a friend that betrayed

01:28:19.550 --> 01:28:21.390
you, then they're not a friend. So you just cross

01:28:21.390 --> 01:28:23.829
that one off the list altogether. It's a good

01:28:23.829 --> 01:28:25.750
mindset. So that's a mindset. This is like, you

01:28:25.750 --> 01:28:27.909
know what? Friends like that, you don't need

01:28:27.909 --> 01:28:31.010
enemies. Gone. Immediately off the table. And

01:28:31.010 --> 01:28:32.989
then you got the boyfriend that cheated on you.

01:28:33.529 --> 01:28:36.050
Well, if he cheated on you, that's, to me at

01:28:36.050 --> 01:28:38.470
least, that's a deal breaker. Completely. Yep.

01:28:38.850 --> 01:28:41.859
Because... I'm from the school of once a cheater,

01:28:41.920 --> 01:28:46.079
always a cheater. Very true. So I... It's one

01:28:46.079 --> 01:28:48.619
of the largest breaches of trust imaginable.

01:28:48.859 --> 01:28:52.739
Oh, 100%. If you're not happy with someone, then

01:28:52.739 --> 01:28:54.699
just end it and then go be with that other person

01:28:54.699 --> 01:28:57.539
if that's what you want to do. Right. So, boom,

01:28:57.699 --> 01:28:59.199
cross that one off. Now you're just left with

01:28:59.199 --> 01:29:01.960
one. You're left with your boss. So you got a

01:29:01.960 --> 01:29:03.819
couple of options there. Number one, just quit.

01:29:04.810 --> 01:29:07.149
So many boomers have the mindset now you gotta

01:29:07.149 --> 01:29:08.529
stay at your job. You gotta stay at your job

01:29:08.529 --> 01:29:10.569
until you have another job Do you know how hard

See you later. Have fun doing my work. Right.

01:29:39.100 --> 01:29:41.100
Or having some of these other flunkies try to

do it. Yeah. Number two, play the game. Play

01:29:46.300 --> 01:29:48.420
the game. If you got a boss like that and they

01:29:48.420 --> 01:29:50.479
want to throw you under the bus or do shit like

01:29:50.479 --> 01:29:53.840
that, all right. Be vindictive. Yeah. Don't give

01:29:53.840 --> 01:29:55.939

play. We're going to play it. Right. Start keeping

01:29:58.420 --> 01:30:01.289
your own paper trail. Exactly. You could start

01:30:01.289 --> 01:30:03.949
going above their head. Fuck it. I'm sure their

01:30:03.949 --> 01:30:06.250
boss wants to hear what's really going on. Mm

01:30:06.250 --> 01:30:09.210
-hmm. Because chances are if they've done that

01:30:09.210 --> 01:30:12.390
to you, they've done it to others. Sure. Which

01:30:12.390 --> 01:30:16.930
means there's a paper trail, which means there's

01:30:16.930 --> 01:30:20.710
skeletons in that person's closet. Go to war.

01:30:20.829 --> 01:30:22.850
Right. Go to war if that's what they want to

01:30:22.850 --> 01:30:26.220
do. You know another thing bosses hate? unionized

01:30:26.220 --> 01:30:28.939
laborers. Hey, how about that? Just get a conversation

01:30:28.939 --> 01:30:31.680
started. Mm -hmm. Just get a conversation started

01:30:31.680 --> 01:30:35.239
with your coworkers. Hey, what if we join a union?

01:30:35.539 --> 01:30:39.220
Yep. It's an idea. It is an idea. Make sure that

01:30:39.220 --> 01:30:42.359
you are spoken for. Hang in there, so over it.

01:30:42.659 --> 01:30:45.500
Damn right. Trust me, you are not alone in these

01:30:45.500 --> 01:30:49.880
types of situations, so be strong, screw these

01:30:49.880 --> 01:30:54.539
other people, and don't hire. Don't hire a hitman.

01:30:54.819 --> 01:30:56.539
That is an expensive proposition. Very expensive.

01:30:56.539 --> 01:31:01.020
Just do it yourself. DIY. DIY that shit. That's

01:31:01.020 --> 01:31:04.520
exactly right. The last one I have today, at

01:31:04.520 --> 01:31:09.140
stonerstanley420. Oh, my man. Hey, Alan and Momo.

01:31:10.560 --> 01:31:15.460
It is the Mad Marchness. It is, Stan. That it

01:31:15.460 --> 01:31:20.560
is. For the bouncy ball guys. I have the California

01:31:20.560 --> 01:31:23.850
Dog Boys winning over the Wet Bandits. Where

01:31:23.850 --> 01:31:31.250
did my money go? Oh, Stanley, you are a precious

01:31:31.250 --> 01:31:34.970
fellow. Yes, isn't he? I would say stick with

01:31:34.970 --> 01:31:37.130
weed. Gambling is not going to be your forte.

01:31:37.350 --> 01:31:39.970
No. And believe it or not, I had the California

01:31:39.970 --> 01:31:43.130
Dog Boys also. Just running the table. We're

01:31:43.130 --> 01:31:46.609
in the same boat. And yeah, go out there and

01:31:46.609 --> 01:31:48.829
bouncy ball with the guys maybe sometime. That's

01:31:48.829 --> 01:31:50.750
what I'm thinking. Yeah. You might enjoy that.

01:31:52.779 --> 01:31:55.659
Lookin' stoner, Stanley. I love Stanley. Stanley,

01:31:55.739 --> 01:32:00.680
you're the best. Anyway, that brings us to the

01:32:00.680 --> 01:32:03.600
other foods. So there are foods, like we just

01:32:03.600 --> 01:32:06.260
talked about in our Munch Madness. Tasty foods.

01:32:06.479 --> 01:32:09.520
Tasty, lovely foods. Well, Aidan finds the foods

01:32:09.520 --> 01:32:12.439
that would make a billy goat puke. So I'm interested,

01:32:12.699 --> 01:32:15.399
what did you find for us today? Well, on the

01:32:15.399 --> 01:32:19.250
other foods, I found another drink. Oh, a beverage?

01:32:19.350 --> 01:32:22.329
A beverage, a little something called baby mouse

01:32:22.329 --> 01:32:27.770
rice wine. Oh no, oh no. Baby mouse rice wine.

01:32:28.729 --> 01:32:32.050
This, I'm just gonna read this article. Okay.

01:32:33.289 --> 01:32:37.970
From culinaryschools .org. Oh. Baby mice, what

01:32:37.970 --> 01:32:42.500
is baby mice wine? Oh no. Acquiring minds wanna

01:32:42.500 --> 01:32:45.619
know what better to wash down your gelatinous

01:32:45.619 --> 01:32:48.939
lumps of live fish than a nice chilled cup of

01:32:48.939 --> 01:32:53.079
dead mice Baby mice wine is a traditional Chinese

01:32:53.079 --> 01:32:56.079
health tonic which apparently tastes like raw

01:32:56.079 --> 01:33:00.939
gasoline. Oh God little mice eyes still closed

01:33:00.939 --> 01:33:03.640
are prepped plucked from the embrace of their

01:33:03.640 --> 01:33:07.140
loving mothers and stuffed while still alive

01:33:07.140 --> 01:33:11.359
into a bottle of rice wine They are left to drown

01:33:11.359 --> 01:33:16.300
and ferment while their parents wring their tiny

01:33:16.300 --> 01:33:19.939
mice paws in despair, tears drooping sadly from

01:33:19.939 --> 01:33:23.420
the tips of their whiskers. Oh, that's hilarious.

01:33:24.739 --> 01:33:27.579
Wow. They get James Joyce to write this? Holy

01:33:27.579 --> 01:33:33.100
hell. A different article I found. In China,

01:33:33.119 --> 01:33:35.180
you can find rice wine with creatures at the

01:33:35.180 --> 01:33:38.020
bitum in the parentheses mice corpses newborn

01:33:38.020 --> 01:33:40.199
mice simply enter the wine when they drown They're

01:33:40.199 --> 01:33:42.600
not much older than three days They have no coat

01:33:42.600 --> 01:33:45.239
and their eyes are closed in one bottle 10 to

01:33:45.239 --> 01:33:48.680
15 baby mice are allowed to drown The wine is

01:33:48.680 --> 01:33:51.420
then left to ferment with the corpses for at

01:33:51.420 --> 01:33:55.260
least 14 months The taste can be likened to gasoline

01:33:55.260 --> 01:33:58.659
and can be attributed to the rotting dead baby

01:33:58.659 --> 01:34:03.859
mice That's... That's so gross. That's sick.

01:34:04.039 --> 01:34:08.560
That is sickening. Ugh. Yeah, baby mouse, race

01:34:08.560 --> 01:34:13.659

to yourself, but you could also let us know.

01:34:18.539 --> 01:34:21.600
See, I'm just curious. I'm a curious boy. Yeah.

01:34:22.039 --> 01:34:25.000
Curiosity killed the mouse, I guess. Oh, hey,

01:34:25.000 --> 01:34:27.420

by garbage dumps. Oh yeah. You used to do that

01:36:29.659 --> 01:36:31.800
on the south side of Chicago. You pass a big

01:36:31.800 --> 01:36:34.939
dump there. There's another dump in Indiana somewhere.

01:36:35.079 --> 01:36:37.800
It's a couple, yeah. Yeah, that are kind of stinky.

01:36:38.239 --> 01:36:40.300
But here's the thing. In Illinois, it's been

01:36:40.300 --> 01:36:42.520
drowned out. Now when you drive on the south

01:36:42.520 --> 01:36:45.949
side, all you smell is marijuana. Oh, yeah. That's

01:36:45.949 --> 01:36:50.170
so true. All you smell is marijuana. So first

01:36:50.170 --> 01:36:52.550
of all, good for them. Yeah, must be nice. And

01:36:52.550 --> 01:36:55.210
secondly, thank you for taking the garbage out

01:36:55.210 --> 01:36:59.970
of the air. Yeah. Number nine, fish, cooked or

01:36:59.970 --> 01:37:04.989
not. Ah. You stink fish. It's not even the smell

01:37:04.989 --> 01:37:07.069
of the ocean, because the ocean just smells like

01:37:07.069 --> 01:37:10.630
salty, humid air. Yeah. No, fish have a scent.

01:37:10.949 --> 01:37:13.479
They have a scent. Yeah. And see here's the thing

01:37:13.479 --> 01:37:16.399
like I can take a steak I can buy it at the grocery

01:37:16.399 --> 01:37:18.100
store take it take it out of that cellophane

01:37:18.100 --> 01:37:21.500
or whatever I Put my nose up to it and I'm indifferent

01:37:21.500 --> 01:37:23.840
like it doesn't have a pungent odor if it does

01:37:23.840 --> 01:37:25.880
throw away, right? It doesn't have a pungent

01:37:25.880 --> 01:37:29.500
odor just smells like meat Yeah, it just doesn't

01:37:29.500 --> 01:37:31.800
you know chicken really doesn't have a doesn't

01:37:31.800 --> 01:37:34.600
have a scent really an odor or pork or anything

01:37:34.600 --> 01:37:38.420
like that, but Fish stinks. It's a very distinct

01:37:38.420 --> 01:37:41.380
smell. It stinks. You can walk into any restaurant

01:37:41.380 --> 01:37:44.500
and if you smell fish, I guarantee there's like

01:37:44.500 --> 01:37:46.279
a couple fish things on their item, but that's

01:37:46.279 --> 01:37:49.140
all the restaurant smells like. It's fish. It's

01:37:49.140 --> 01:37:51.520
fish. Yeah, oh yeah, for sure. Overpowering scent.

01:37:51.899 --> 01:37:56.180
No doubt. Number eight, locker rooms. Oh, yeah.

01:37:56.420 --> 01:38:03.020
Oh, yeah. Just that musty, humid pile of dirty

01:38:03.020 --> 01:38:06.300
towels and... Wet man dick and whatever else,

01:38:06.640 --> 01:38:10.699
you sweaty ass crack. Nope, not a fan. No, not

01:38:10.699 --> 01:38:12.579
at all. You'd think the locker room's where you

01:38:12.579 --> 01:38:14.659
go to get clean, you know, hit the showers, but

01:38:14.659 --> 01:38:18.079
nope. It smells. It smells like man ass. It smells

01:38:18.079 --> 01:38:22.579
like man ass, yeah. Number seven. Gases that

01:38:22.579 --> 01:38:28.859
emanate from your rear. Yeah. Yep. A fart. A

01:38:28.859 --> 01:38:33.340
fart will do it. I've done them in the car with

01:38:33.340 --> 01:38:35.710
people in it. They have stuck their heads out

01:38:35.710 --> 01:38:38.689
the window Not proud of that boy. That's a rough

01:38:38.689 --> 01:38:41.250
one. I'm proud of that in a weird roundabout

01:38:41.250 --> 01:38:43.069
way It's it's one of those things where you're

01:38:43.069 --> 01:38:46.810
surprised that your own body was able to produce

01:38:46.810 --> 01:38:51.270
such a a Weapon of ass destruction. Yeah. Yeah

01:38:51.270 --> 01:38:54.449
for sure. Yeah, no doubt. It's unique It is unique

01:38:54.449 --> 01:38:57.890
that we have that power that ability. Yeah, I

01:38:57.890 --> 01:39:02.020
mean usually humans Don't smell like much maybe

01:39:02.020 --> 01:39:05.060
underarm deodorant or whatever else on a regular

01:39:05.060 --> 01:39:09.260
basis But yeah, just what happens inside the

01:39:09.260 --> 01:39:13.060
human body is so foul. It is foul. Yeah. Yeah,

01:39:13.060 --> 01:39:16.640
there's no question Number six burnt popcorn.

01:39:17.079 --> 01:39:20.500
That's a rough one. That's actually have a crazy

01:39:20.500 --> 01:39:24.220
story Yeah Regarding this I love this on your

01:39:24.220 --> 01:39:26.199
list. I did not put it on mine. I could feel

01:39:26.199 --> 01:39:30.640
kind of stupid but I made a mistake one day.

01:39:31.079 --> 01:39:34.880
While I was working at this local bakery, which

01:39:34.880 --> 01:39:38.899
we both have experience working at, someone brought

01:39:38.899 --> 01:39:41.779
McDonald's for us, and probably the GM brought

01:39:41.779 --> 01:39:44.000
McDonald's for all of us, and there was a hash

01:39:44.000 --> 01:39:46.279
brown that had sat in the back for a while and

01:39:46.279 --> 01:39:48.039
no one was claiming it. I was like, oh fuck it,

01:39:48.039 --> 01:39:50.779
I'll have it, but it was cold. So I'm like, oh,

01:39:51.039 --> 01:39:53.340
we don't have any toasters because we don't actually

01:39:53.340 --> 01:39:56.399
bake anything there, so I put it in the microwave.

01:39:57.170 --> 01:40:01.050
And I forgot about it. And I forgot how long

01:40:01.050 --> 01:40:06.090
I set it for. Oh, no. Four minutes pass. The

01:40:06.090 --> 01:40:09.829
microwave is still running and the entire establishment

01:40:09.829 --> 01:40:13.609
smells like burnt popcorn. I open the door, a

01:40:13.609 --> 01:40:16.430
plume of smoke comes out. I'm like, oh, God.

01:40:17.789 --> 01:40:20.210
We had to like open both of the doors. Like people

01:40:20.210 --> 01:40:23.649
would come in and be like, oh, weird. I was like,

01:40:23.689 --> 01:40:26.550
oh, man. Like, this is funny because I don't

01:40:26.550 --> 01:40:28.569
really care about the place, but at the same

01:40:28.569 --> 01:40:31.489
time, it is 100 % my fault. Why does this bakery

01:40:31.489 --> 01:40:33.670
smell like burnt popcorn? Right, and why does

01:40:33.670 --> 01:40:36.010
a burnt hash brown, why does a microwaved burnt

01:40:36.010 --> 01:40:37.770
hash brown smell like popcorn? Smell like popcorn.

01:40:37.770 --> 01:40:40.149
Smell like popcorn. I was like, oh my god. I've

01:40:40.149 --> 01:40:42.529
discovered something. Interesting, very interesting.

01:40:43.229 --> 01:40:46.069
And yet hilarious at the same time. Oh yeah.

01:40:46.470 --> 01:40:50.350
Number five, the Too Much Perfume Girl. Oh yeah.

01:40:51.109 --> 01:40:54.130
Where it's like, look. They got that little flowery

01:40:54.130 --> 01:40:57.369
scent whatever quite frankly. I like the more

01:40:57.369 --> 01:41:02.550
manly smelling perfumes Sure, the super flowery

01:41:02.550 --> 01:41:05.010
ones, but if you have too much of any of it on

01:41:05.010 --> 01:41:07.069
it's too much too much It gives me a headache.

01:41:07.229 --> 01:41:10.029
I move off that there's there's a certain subset.

01:41:10.029 --> 01:41:13.590
I would say 60 to 70 year old white women who

01:41:13.590 --> 01:41:18.550
frequent Walgreens are Almost always the too

01:41:18.550 --> 01:41:21.420
much proof perfume girl. Yeah. Oh, yeah Which

01:41:21.420 --> 01:41:25.060
is kind of weird, but I go off, I guess. Yeah,

01:41:25.859 --> 01:41:28.600
I agree with that. Something I did not have on

01:41:28.600 --> 01:41:30.140
my list, which I could have had on my list, is

01:41:30.140 --> 01:41:34.119
going into a Yankee candle. That place. Fuck

01:41:34.119 --> 01:41:36.880
that place. Oh my god. Just an assault on the

01:41:36.880 --> 01:41:40.180
senses. Just the 25 different scents all emanating

01:41:40.180 --> 01:41:42.800
from these candles. How is that a good smell?

01:41:43.100 --> 01:41:45.000
It's not. How the fuck are the employees there

01:41:45.000 --> 01:41:47.979
not completely anosmic? I get a headache, but

01:41:47.979 --> 01:41:50.699
when I leave I have a headache. It's insane.

01:41:51.020 --> 01:41:54.739
Yeah, it's bad. Number four, the too much cologne

01:41:54.739 --> 01:41:57.600
guy. Oh, yeah. They're even worse. You smell

01:41:57.600 --> 01:42:01.300
like a fucking Hollister, buddy. Oh, yeah. Yeah,

01:42:01.800 --> 01:42:04.960
it's bad. Yeah. It's terrible. And why do Hollisters

01:42:04.960 --> 01:42:08.600
smell like too much perfume guy? Yep. Oh, exactly.

01:42:09.460 --> 01:42:12.199
Yeah. Get yourself some help. Stop it. Stop it.

01:42:12.199 --> 01:42:14.739
Stop it. I'm Michael Jordan. I'm Michael Jordan.

01:42:14.939 --> 01:42:18.060
Number three, rotten garbage. Oh, yeah. When

01:42:18.060 --> 01:42:20.779
you get that garbage and it's hot, it's 85 degrees

01:42:20.779 --> 01:42:23.319
in the summer, and maybe the bag ripped open,

01:42:23.399 --> 01:42:25.460
or you have some raccoon that's an ass and tears

01:42:25.460 --> 01:42:27.659
some shit open, and it's sitting in there for

01:42:27.659 --> 01:42:30.479
days and you pop it open, it's like, oh, god.

01:42:30.880 --> 01:42:33.739
Vom. That is a bad smell. It's a really one.

01:42:33.840 --> 01:42:37.380
Yeah, that's... And number two, spoiled milk.

01:42:37.659 --> 01:42:40.449
Oh, yeah. Oh yeah. You see it and it's like,

01:42:40.510 --> 01:42:42.649
it's about four or five past due date and you're

01:42:42.649 --> 01:42:44.010
like, oh, it should be fine. And then you open

01:42:44.010 --> 01:42:46.869
it and you're like... Right. Or God forbid it's

01:42:46.869 --> 01:42:48.869
gotten to the point where it starts puffing out

01:42:48.869 --> 01:42:52.710
some and you're like, oh no. It's a bomb. It's

01:42:52.710 --> 01:42:55.989
a bomb. Yeah. So, Spoiled Milk, my number two.

01:42:56.109 --> 01:42:58.390
I will hold on to my number one. All right. I've

01:42:58.390 --> 01:43:00.710
got... I'm going to run 10 through two as well.

01:43:00.909 --> 01:43:04.270
Save my number one. Number 10. My work boots

01:43:04.270 --> 01:43:07.689
after a 95 degree work day. Oh, that's a good

01:43:07.689 --> 01:43:11.010
one. That's a bad one. Yes. Yeah, it's almost

01:43:11.010 --> 01:43:14.930
in line with your number eight locker rooms Yeah,

01:43:15.470 --> 01:43:18.989
very similar scent just that nasty stanky sock

01:43:18.989 --> 01:43:21.789
boot smell I know I've been sweating my ass off

01:43:21.789 --> 01:43:25.430
and then It's just it's rough. It's really rough.

01:43:25.430 --> 01:43:27.750
It's like holy shit. I'm like building colonies

01:43:27.750 --> 01:43:31.329
of whatever Whatever boot bacteria is in here.

01:43:31.329 --> 01:43:37.010
Oh, yeah, like oh no virtual megalopolis Number

01:43:37.010 --> 01:43:40.050
nine, the water treatment plant at the edge of

01:43:40.050 --> 01:43:43.829
town. Smells. Smells like sewage because that's

01:43:43.829 --> 01:43:45.130
what they do, right? That's what they do. That's

01:43:45.130 --> 01:43:47.710
what they do. God bless them for it. I know it's

01:43:47.710 --> 01:43:50.750
necessary. It's one of the better ways of, you

01:43:50.750 --> 01:43:55.810
know, cleaning water. But man, it's rough. Oh,

01:43:55.810 --> 01:43:59.130
yeah. Especially summertime, that's rough. Number

01:43:59.130 --> 01:44:03.010
eight, the rotten zucchini you forgot was in

01:44:03.010 --> 01:44:05.989
the back of the fridge. That seems very specific.

01:44:06.210 --> 01:44:10.350
Very specific. And very gross. Like you can tell

01:44:10.350 --> 01:44:13.090
it's starting to juice everywhere. It's got more

01:44:13.090 --> 01:44:15.930
white on it than it does green. Yeah, that's

01:44:15.930 --> 01:44:17.970
bad. That's yucky. That's a yucky scent. Your

01:44:17.970 --> 01:44:21.409
whole fridge smells like, like, nast. Nasty.

01:44:21.810 --> 01:44:26.109
For weeks afterwards. Number seven. White Castle,

01:44:26.789 --> 01:44:30.609
approximately 30 hours after you eat it. Yeah.

01:44:30.710 --> 01:44:33.130
Because somehow it smells the same going out.

01:44:33.239 --> 01:44:36.060
as it went going in, but then you also add the

01:44:36.060 --> 01:44:40.640
scent of feces. Yeah. It's so unique, uniquely

01:44:40.640 --> 01:44:44.039
bad. It is bad. No other fast food establishment

01:44:44.039 --> 01:44:47.420
produces that result. Oh, no way. In my opinion.

01:44:47.800 --> 01:44:50.359
Nope, it doesn't. Not at all. Number six, the

01:44:50.359 --> 01:44:54.199
dumpster juice from behind any Burger King. Yeah.

01:44:54.260 --> 01:44:57.060
Because Burger King is that dog shit food slop,

01:44:57.279 --> 01:45:02.079
hardly edible nonsense. Anyway. And then you

01:45:02.079 --> 01:45:04.859
add the dumpster juice that they produce. Dumpster

01:45:04.859 --> 01:45:06.659
juice is bad. Dumpster juice could have made

01:45:06.659 --> 01:45:09.619
my list. Sure. Oh yeah. But you add the specificity,

01:45:09.760 --> 01:45:14.760
now it's a number six level. Number five. The

01:45:14.760 --> 01:45:18.340
Great Northern Indiana Steel Mills. Ah, that's

01:45:18.340 --> 01:45:21.319
a good one. Yeah, they smell. Sulfur, whatever.

01:45:21.359 --> 01:45:26.760
Yeah, sulfur, sulfuric, chemically nasty pollution.

01:45:27.260 --> 01:45:32.039
Like, breathing air in East Chicago feels like

01:45:32.039 --> 01:45:35.460
I'm going to get cancer. Yeah. It feels like

01:45:35.460 --> 01:45:37.739
I'm gonna die young if I breathe too much of

01:45:37.739 --> 01:45:39.659
this. Yeah, I feel like if I take a deep breath

01:45:39.659 --> 01:45:42.079
on a walking trail near the mills, I'm gonna

01:45:42.079 --> 01:45:44.739
sprout a third eye. Yeah. Like that's that shit

01:45:44.739 --> 01:45:46.760
that makes me know like the EPA doesn't give

01:45:46.760 --> 01:45:50.220
a fuck. Nope. Is because the air feels unbreathable

01:45:50.220 --> 01:45:53.220
five miles away from the plants. Oh yeah. If

01:45:53.220 --> 01:45:55.460
you swim anywhere near those plants. God forbid.

01:45:55.739 --> 01:45:59.189
I got an earache. Yeah. Because I distinctly

01:45:59.189 --> 01:46:01.590
remember getting water in my ear because you're

01:46:01.590 --> 01:46:03.670
fucking around in the water, whatever. I was

01:46:03.670 --> 01:46:05.609
like, ah, one of those things where you tug on

01:46:05.609 --> 01:46:07.229
your earlobe because you're trying to clear the

01:46:07.229 --> 01:46:09.010
water, whatever. A couple of days later, had

01:46:09.010 --> 01:46:10.289
an earache. Had an earache for about a week.

01:46:11.470 --> 01:46:13.770
Yeah. Yeah, Lake Michigan in Indiana is damn

01:46:13.770 --> 01:46:17.489
near uninhabitable. It's bad. Because of industry.

01:46:18.449 --> 01:46:22.590
Yep. Number four, dog shit after you step in

01:46:22.590 --> 01:46:27.789
it. Oh God, I didn't even think about dog shit

01:46:27.789 --> 01:46:31.649
in general. Yeah, that's bad. It's like Because

01:46:31.649 --> 01:46:34.069
when it sits out, right then the Sun kind of

01:46:34.069 --> 01:46:36.569
bakes it a while That's why like scooping it

01:46:36.569 --> 01:46:39.329
and throwing like getting rid of it is usually

01:46:39.329 --> 01:46:44.020
not super unpleasant but stepping in it Exposes

01:46:44.020 --> 01:46:47.500
all of this fresh shit scent. Yeah, that was

01:46:47.500 --> 01:46:50.159
previously Encapsuled in its heart outside and

01:46:50.159 --> 01:46:52.500
now it's on you now. It's on your shoes. You're

01:46:52.500 --> 01:46:55.279
walking around smelling like that That just adds

01:46:55.279 --> 01:46:58.220
the negativity. I have a good dog shit story.

01:46:58.659 --> 01:47:00.960
Go ahead I'm a kid and one of my friends John.

01:47:01.119 --> 01:47:04.319
He had this big white fluffy dog. It's a Samoyed

01:47:04.319 --> 01:47:07.399
I think is a big boy name of the dog or the bird

01:47:07.399 --> 01:47:12.359
breed I guess and So we're at his house And of

01:47:12.359 --> 01:47:13.960
course, because it's a big dog, it takes really

01:47:13.960 --> 01:47:17.199
big, massive shits. Right. And we're out in the

01:47:17.199 --> 01:47:19.239
yard, and his dog is back there. And all of a

01:47:19.239 --> 01:47:22.439
sudden, the dog's like, woo, woo, woo, woo, and

01:47:22.439 --> 01:47:24.739
making all these noises. Oh, shit. And he's like,

01:47:25.140 --> 01:47:27.260
I'm trying to think how old we were. I think

01:47:27.260 --> 01:47:31.020
maybe like eighth grade, seventh grade, if you're

01:47:31.020 --> 01:47:34.800
Canadian, grade eight. Right. And we love you.

01:47:34.819 --> 01:47:38.199
Some of us love you guys down here anyway. So.

01:47:38.439 --> 01:47:43.460
the dog is just screaming and he's like oh my

01:47:43.460 --> 01:47:46.539
god he's like really upset and meanwhile i am

01:47:46.539 --> 01:47:49.819
biting my lips so hard to stop from laughing

01:47:49.819 --> 01:47:53.020
my ass off because this dog is one leg in it

01:47:53.020 --> 01:47:55.880
man and trying to push out whatever is in there

01:47:55.880 --> 01:48:02.680
this dog had a mastodon pile of shit oh my god

01:48:02.680 --> 01:48:06.319
that isn't the best part though apparently it

01:48:06.319 --> 01:48:10.579
ate a barbie doll Oh no. So it was a massive

01:48:10.579 --> 01:48:14.300
pile of shit with a Barbie doll head on it. And

01:48:14.300 --> 01:48:19.560
I'm fucking laughing my ass off. The dog immediately

01:48:19.560 --> 01:48:22.039
went late in a corner like... Oh my god. That

01:48:22.039 --> 01:48:24.439
was like giving birth to that dog. The dog's

01:48:24.439 --> 01:48:27.520
ass is gonna be sore for a week. A Barbie head

01:48:27.520 --> 01:48:31.199
came out of its asshole. Oh my god. Oh my god,

01:48:31.199 --> 01:48:35.560
I was dying. That's fucking crazy. And it's stuck.

01:48:36.010 --> 01:48:39.229
And it's time. Yeah, he was like my sister was

01:48:39.229 --> 01:48:41.689
looking for that. I could tell tell her you found

01:48:41.689 --> 01:48:45.210
it Tell you found it tell her where it's at.

01:48:45.210 --> 01:48:49.649
Oh my lord. Oh, yeah And smelly big tip treat

01:48:49.649 --> 01:48:52.350
your dogs like toddlers. Don't let them eat anything

01:48:52.350 --> 01:48:56.289
like that Especially Barbie dog right my god

01:48:56.289 --> 01:49:00.250
number three on my list the flatulence of Kevin

01:49:00.250 --> 01:49:05.560
Boland You had farts on your list, which is fantastic,

01:49:05.619 --> 01:49:08.260
but I felt I had to be specific. That was specific.

01:49:08.680 --> 01:49:13.199
Because my good friend Kevin Boland, really,

01:49:13.220 --> 01:49:19.479
really funny guy, but he has such a unique way

01:49:19.479 --> 01:49:23.600
of making human beings disperse from any given

01:49:23.600 --> 01:49:27.640
area. He bends over and he speaks from his rear.

01:49:27.680 --> 01:49:31.560
And that shit is loud. That is loud, and it stays.

01:49:31.920 --> 01:49:35.079
It stays. Like, you can crack the windows open,

01:49:35.239 --> 01:49:37.979
turn the fans on, light candles. Days later,

01:49:38.380 --> 01:49:40.859
you will walk into that room and be like, ah.

01:49:40.960 --> 01:49:45.760
It's a dense fog. It is a dense fog, and it's

01:49:45.760 --> 01:49:48.859
such a uniquely bad smell. Like, farts are stinky.

01:49:49.039 --> 01:49:52.659
Right, it smells like human shit. But his, oh

01:49:52.659 --> 01:49:56.899
my god. Oh my god. Bad. It's a unique experience.

01:49:57.800 --> 01:50:01.289
Number two on my list. spoiled milk left out

01:50:01.289 --> 01:50:03.949
on the countertop. There you go. Yep. Our number

01:50:03.949 --> 01:50:06.689
twos were exactly the same. Ugh. It's spoiled

01:50:06.689 --> 01:50:10.430
milk. It's so bad. It's the only dairy product

01:50:10.430 --> 01:50:14.229
I know of that contains that uniquely horrific

01:50:14.229 --> 01:50:17.970
scent. Yeah. Like spoiled cheese is gross, slimy,

01:50:18.130 --> 01:50:19.850
gets moldy, whatever, you throw it away, it's

01:50:19.850 --> 01:50:25.010
fine. But spoiled milk is so special in how horrible

01:50:25.010 --> 01:50:29.039
it smells. I agree, it's disgusting. I'm not

01:50:29.039 --> 01:50:34.319
a fan. That brings us to our number ones, don't

01:50:34.319 --> 01:50:38.579
know if those would be the same. Mine is body

01:50:38.579 --> 01:50:43.560
odor. Now to be specific, and this is more personal,

01:50:45.260 --> 01:50:47.739
if for example, say I'm working in the yard,

01:50:48.539 --> 01:50:50.119
I'm doing something outdoors, it's warm, you're

01:50:50.119 --> 01:50:52.470
gonna sweat, whatever. and you forget to put

01:50:52.470 --> 01:50:54.689
your underarm deodorant on. Oh, that's rough.

01:50:54.689 --> 01:50:56.430
And you're out there and you're working and immediately

01:50:56.430 --> 01:50:58.390
you don't notice it right away unless of course

01:50:58.390 --> 01:51:00.949
your arms are always up over your head. You don't

01:51:00.949 --> 01:51:03.289
notice it right away until it's like, oh yeah,

01:51:03.310 --> 01:51:04.949
time for a water break and you go inside and

01:51:04.949 --> 01:51:06.810
you get a glass of ice water and you're sitting

01:51:06.810 --> 01:51:09.930
there and you're like, and you're like, wait

01:51:09.930 --> 01:51:12.090
a minute. Yeah. Wait a minute and you lift up

01:51:12.090 --> 01:51:14.329
your arm and it's like your eyes almost crossed.

01:51:14.470 --> 01:51:18.170
It's like, oh yeah. Forgot the deodorant. Right.

01:51:18.289 --> 01:51:21.210
Holy hell. You know, but I kind of just threw

01:51:21.210 --> 01:51:22.930
body odor, because it could be anything. Like

01:51:22.930 --> 01:51:24.149
when you're out there sweating your ass off,

01:51:24.310 --> 01:51:26.949
could be your ass, could be anything, just your

01:51:26.949 --> 01:51:29.149
general body odor. But under the arms specifically,

01:51:29.489 --> 01:51:32.109
it's rough. Get real dodgy if you forget that.

01:51:32.210 --> 01:51:34.430
Oh yeah. Man, it gets bad. It's like those 95

01:51:34.430 --> 01:51:37.130
degree work boots are all of a sudden six inches

01:51:37.130 --> 01:51:40.630
away from your face. Exactly. Knowing damn well.

01:51:40.829 --> 01:51:43.710
You are producing that scent actively right now.

01:51:44.109 --> 01:51:47.210
It's like, oh no. It's like, okay, time for a

01:51:47.210 --> 01:51:50.090
shower stat. It's especially embarrassing when

01:51:50.090 --> 01:51:52.069
you're out. When you're out. You're out somewhere.

01:51:52.170 --> 01:51:53.789
Because you're smelling it and you're like, man,

01:51:53.829 --> 01:51:55.550
if anybody's close to me, they're going to smell

01:51:55.550 --> 01:51:58.229
it. Right. Yeah, that's a rough one. Yeah, for

01:51:58.229 --> 01:52:00.609
sure. That's a rough one. All right, your number

01:52:00.609 --> 01:52:04.710
one. My number one. A porta potty on a hot, humid

01:52:04.710 --> 01:52:08.000
summer day. That is an excellent. It's right.

01:52:08.039 --> 01:52:10.479
I think about porta potty public restrooms are

01:52:10.479 --> 01:52:12.899
gross I mean, thank God they're there cuz you

01:52:12.899 --> 01:52:14.920
know you keep you need them Yeah, keep pissing

01:52:14.920 --> 01:52:17.939
shit off the street, which is a plus But public

01:52:17.939 --> 01:52:20.000
restrooms are bad porta potties are especially

01:52:20.000 --> 01:52:23.520
worse because they contain no plumbing They have

01:52:23.520 --> 01:52:25.600
to you have to have someone come out and service

01:52:25.600 --> 01:52:29.520
it refresh it now imagine that day three no servicing

01:52:29.520 --> 01:52:32.100
It's human as hell 90 degrees outside. Yeah,

01:52:32.140 --> 01:52:34.699
maybe you're at an event. I got a piss you walk

01:52:34.699 --> 01:52:39.220
inside. Nope Nope, I'll hold it. Oh, for sure.

01:52:39.359 --> 01:52:41.920
Whoever was in here last did me dirty and everyone

01:52:41.920 --> 01:52:46.260
else dirty. Yikes. 100%. Yeah, porta potties

01:52:46.260 --> 01:52:51.079
are nasty. They are so nasty. Necessary yet nasty.

01:52:51.380 --> 01:52:55.579
Yes. A fair combination of both. Well that concludes

01:52:55.579 --> 01:53:00.500
our You Just Made the List. If you have anything

01:53:00.500 --> 01:53:02.520
that we missed you want to share please feel

01:53:02.520 --> 01:53:05.689
free on the socials. That brings us to our next

01:53:05.689 --> 01:53:08.329
segment review preview. I actually went and saw

01:53:08.329 --> 01:53:11.470
a movie and enjoyed it quite a bit It was a movie

01:53:11.470 --> 01:53:15.930
called Novacane so And when the girl of this

01:53:15.930 --> 01:53:18.850
guy's dreams gets kidnapped He turns his inability

01:53:18.850 --> 01:53:23.550
to feel pain into an unexpected advantage as

01:53:23.550 --> 01:53:26.390
he fights a bunch of thugs to get her back Stars

01:53:26.390 --> 01:53:29.569
Jack Quaid, Amber Midthunder, Great Last Name,

01:53:30.890 --> 01:53:35.729
Jacob Badalana, Ray Nicholson It is a fast -paced

01:53:35.729 --> 01:53:39.510
thriller with an unlikely hero movie has a lot

01:53:39.510 --> 01:53:44.630
of heart and Despite the chaos and violence of

01:53:44.630 --> 01:53:47.329
the movie because it's very violent But it's

01:53:47.329 --> 01:53:50.729
also rather funny So I enjoyed it. I enjoyed

01:53:50.729 --> 01:53:53.430
the pacing I enjoyed the the several laughs that

01:53:53.430 --> 01:53:55.369
I had and all that kind of good stuff So I give

01:53:55.369 --> 01:53:57.789
it a very very solid seven point nine out of

01:53:57.789 --> 01:54:00.270
ten. That's righteous I thank you if you go out

01:54:00.270 --> 01:54:03.479
you're definitely gonna enjoy it And this has

01:54:03.479 --> 01:54:07.979
potential for kind of a series, I think. So very

01:54:07.979 --> 01:54:09.859
fun, though. That's righteous. Definitely fun.

01:54:10.640 --> 01:54:15.300
My preview movie coming up here. A working man,

01:54:15.560 --> 01:54:18.640
Lavon Cade, left behind a decorated military

01:54:18.640 --> 01:54:20.939
career in black ops to live a simple life of

01:54:20.939 --> 01:54:23.979
working construction. However, when human traffickers

01:54:23.979 --> 01:54:27.020
kidnap the boss's daughter, his search to bring

01:54:27.020 --> 01:54:29.619
her home uncovers a world of corruption far greater

01:54:29.619 --> 01:54:33.909
than he ever. could have imagined. The film stars

01:54:33.909 --> 01:54:38.310
Jason Statham and the release date is March 28th.

01:54:38.430 --> 01:54:41.229
I've always likened Jason Statham to the white

01:54:41.229 --> 01:54:44.170
Denzel Washington. Ha! Yes, that's pretty accurate.

01:54:44.329 --> 01:54:47.289
Just the constant badass, always somehow a little

01:54:47.289 --> 01:54:52.189
bit mad. Never over plays a role just like it's

01:54:52.189 --> 01:54:55.130
just in his wheelhouse exactly precisely Yeah,

01:54:55.130 --> 01:54:57.229
I saw the trailer to this one. It looks really

01:54:57.229 --> 01:54:59.489
good. Mm -hmm. It does so I'm definitely looking

01:54:59.489 --> 01:55:02.369
forward to that but highly recommend Novocaine

01:55:02.369 --> 01:55:08.670
It's fast -paced thriller Gory violence good

01:55:08.670 --> 01:55:12.369
gory violence, but you're gonna giggle too. So

01:55:12.369 --> 01:55:17.520
it's just it's good stuff Just like so ridiculous

01:55:17.520 --> 01:55:20.500
in some spots. It's just funny Yeah, it's like

01:55:20.500 --> 01:55:23.140
they're there like they're they're not trying

01:55:23.140 --> 01:55:25.479
to be anything than what this movie is. It's

01:55:25.479 --> 01:55:27.819
style I love it. It was really good brings us

01:55:27.819 --> 01:55:31.800
to our next segment semi related In that it could

01:55:31.800 --> 01:55:34.800
be a movie could be a TV show could be a game

01:55:34.800 --> 01:55:38.300
YouTube whatever While you were sleeping so Aiden

01:55:38.300 --> 01:55:41.539
tell us what the hell we slept on what you guys

01:55:41.539 --> 01:55:43.560
have been sleeping on this little video game

01:55:43.800 --> 01:55:48.039
that I've been really enjoying playing. Astroneer.

01:55:48.420 --> 01:55:51.359
Astroneer is a very fun game. It's like sandbox,

01:55:51.840 --> 01:55:54.100
adventure, crafting, build -your -own -world

01:55:54.100 --> 01:56:00.739
style game in a semi -cartoony art style. It's

01:56:00.739 --> 01:56:04.880
released by IndieDev System Era Softworks. Came

01:56:04.880 --> 01:56:12.119
out in the late 2010s on, I think, PS4, PS5 era...

01:56:12.479 --> 01:56:17.619
Consoles and PC and switch as well sure so the

01:56:17.619 --> 01:56:21.020
character you play as is the Astroneer so kind

01:56:21.020 --> 01:56:25.260
of like the adventuring astronaut style guy and

01:56:25.260 --> 01:56:27.819
You are just dropped onto unfamiliar planets,

01:56:27.819 --> 01:56:33.539
and you have to essentially Survive while crafting

01:56:33.539 --> 01:56:37.789
your world. It's I think the word colonizing

01:56:37.789 --> 01:56:41.890
is kind of the maybe gives the wrong idea but

01:56:41.890 --> 01:56:44.069
it's essentially what you're doing just without

01:56:44.069 --> 01:56:47.750
the you know genociding of natives right the

01:56:47.750 --> 01:56:50.510
english are used to it's more so you're just

01:56:50.510 --> 01:56:53.729
making the planet somewhat habitable so you're

01:56:53.729 --> 01:56:56.170
out there you're you know collecting resources

01:56:56.170 --> 01:56:59.430
you can only be off your oxygen tether for so

01:56:59.430 --> 01:57:03.789
long so it's it's really fun stressful at times

01:57:03.789 --> 01:57:07.289
i'll give it that because You know, it's almost

01:57:07.289 --> 01:57:09.489
the same thing as like cave diving, because once

01:57:09.489 --> 01:57:12.170
you're off your oxygen tether, you just have

01:57:12.170 --> 01:57:13.829
what's in your tank, and God forbid you don't

01:57:13.829 --> 01:57:17.369
make it back in time. But yeah, you go out and

01:57:17.369 --> 01:57:19.989
you collect little bits of this world, kind of

01:57:19.989 --> 01:57:23.930
make it your own. It is really charming and fun,

01:57:24.170 --> 01:57:27.970
and just an easy way to lose several afternoons.

01:57:28.810 --> 01:57:33.050
But yeah, Astroneer, highly recommend. Astroneer.

01:57:33.170 --> 01:57:36.739
Yes. That looks phenomenal. It's very cute. Looks

01:57:36.739 --> 01:57:42.079
fun. Yes, and I just love indie devs, independent

01:57:42.079 --> 01:57:46.920
game makers. It's just, the games they make always

01:57:46.920 --> 01:57:49.939
seem to have so much more heart than any AAA

01:57:49.939 --> 01:57:53.520
or quadruple A studio making whatever dogshit

01:57:53.520 --> 01:57:57.220
slop they sell for $80. Because every indie game

01:57:57.220 --> 01:58:01.869
is five, ten... Dollars, you know, you're talking

01:58:01.869 --> 01:58:05.689
the most pricey indie games are 30 or 40 bucks,

01:58:05.689 --> 01:58:09.090
but you can still lose You know 50 to 100 hours

01:58:09.090 --> 01:58:12.789
into them. Oh easily. So yeah, I highly recommend

01:58:12.789 --> 01:58:16.529
Astroneer Astroneer it is make sure you check

01:58:16.529 --> 01:58:19.090
that out. We're gonna take our final break and

01:58:19.090 --> 01:58:24.270
when we return it's back the world of weird news

01:58:24.270 --> 01:58:55.130
and our beer review of the week. Coming up! Alright

01:58:55.130 --> 01:58:57.750

01:59:18.899 --> 01:59:23.319
out of chaos and shenanigans and tomfoolery and

01:59:23.319 --> 01:59:28.819
and high jinx high jinx plural That that is for

01:59:28.819 --> 01:59:32.699
certain. So what we've got now is our beer review

01:59:32.699 --> 01:59:37.020
Of the week and this particular week somewhat

01:59:37.020 --> 01:59:40.159
dedicated to what's going on now, which we talked

01:59:40.159 --> 01:59:42.420
about a little bit. Munch Madness. Munch Madness.

01:59:42.699 --> 01:59:46.819
Well, yeah. Basketball. But, well. Illegal gambling.

01:59:47.000 --> 01:59:50.779
Well, a little. Chinese checkers. My man. My

01:59:50.779 --> 01:59:54.600
man. My man. Munch Madness, baby. And we've got

01:59:54.600 --> 01:59:59.760
a logger called Play Hard. It is produced by

01:59:59.760 --> 02:00:04.279
Sun King. I like very much. what they do. Gene

02:00:04.279 --> 02:00:06.760
Cady's Playhard. Gene Cady used to be a long

02:00:06.760 --> 02:00:09.840
time coach of the Purdue Boilermakers. And he's

02:00:09.840 --> 02:00:12.760
got this Playhard Lager. And kind of a little

02:00:12.760 --> 02:00:14.680
caricature of him on the can, which is kind of

02:00:14.680 --> 02:00:18.640
fun. And we're going to see how this goes. Yeah.

02:00:18.779 --> 02:00:21.779
American Lager. Sun King, I believe, has breweries

02:00:21.779 --> 02:00:26.239
in Indiana and Florida, which is pretty cool.

02:00:27.159 --> 02:00:32.060
Nearby Hoosier Brewery. Making a lager not for

02:00:32.060 --> 02:00:33.859
the Hoosiers. But of course as you mentioned

02:00:33.859 --> 02:00:36.579
Purdue Jean Katie's play hard Yeah, and we're

02:00:36.579 --> 02:00:38.439

of these, holy cow. I was just about to say the

02:01:00.350 --> 02:01:03.630
word crushable comes to mind. Whoa, yeah, holy

02:01:03.630 --> 02:01:07.930
cow. 4 .5%, so it's on the lighter version of

02:01:07.930 --> 02:01:11.130
that. Little bit, yeah. 5 % middle of the road

02:01:11.130 --> 02:01:15.029
percentile, but boy, that's smooth. By the way,

02:01:15.050 --> 02:01:17.890

02:01:26.270 --> 02:01:28.729
-bodied, the flavor profile they provide, we're

02:01:28.729 --> 02:01:31.710
using the app Untapped. Untapped, yeah. A beer

02:01:31.710 --> 02:01:34.189
view app, not sponsored, of course. The flavor

02:01:34.189 --> 02:01:37.489
profile they suggest, light -bodied, crushable,

02:01:37.750 --> 02:01:40.930
smooth, clean, sendable. Light -bodied, I'll

02:01:40.930 --> 02:01:45.010
give it that. Most lagers are usually lighter.

02:01:45.210 --> 02:01:47.810
Lighter. Lighter in flavor. I even said crushable.

02:01:47.850 --> 02:01:52.079
I'll give it that. Smooth, for sure. Clean. Yeah,

02:01:52.140 --> 02:01:54.479
I'd say clean clean. I said the word clean a

02:01:54.479 --> 02:01:58.859
lot you do clean. I like that I'm usually not

02:01:58.859 --> 02:02:03.100
a big lager guy because When I drink brewskis,

02:02:03.100 --> 02:02:04.859
I usually like to enjoy them for the flavor.

02:02:04.859 --> 02:02:08.859
So I'll get like he's the IPA's Imperial any

02:02:08.859 --> 02:02:11.380
kind of stout or porters right up my alley. This

02:02:11.380 --> 02:02:15.039
is really tasty this is a really smooth and tasty

02:02:15.039 --> 02:02:19.899
I Like I give that a three seven five. I'm pleasantly

02:02:19.899 --> 02:02:23.770
surprised. Yes Now you know me, I'm more of a

02:02:23.770 --> 02:02:27.069
lager guy. I kind of prefer a little bit of the

02:02:27.069 --> 02:02:30.010
lighter beers, if at all possible. Not that I'm

02:02:30.010 --> 02:02:35.930
against a good hearty stout or ale or anything

02:02:35.930 --> 02:02:38.250
with a high flavor profile or an IPA or anything

02:02:38.250 --> 02:02:41.130
like that. From time to time I do rather enjoy

02:02:41.130 --> 02:02:45.430
them. Sure. But just your average day out, I'm

02:02:45.430 --> 02:02:48.119
a lager guy. That's just kind of what I like.

02:02:48.180 --> 02:02:50.659
I like making my own shandies. Oh, smart. To

02:02:50.659 --> 02:02:52.819
get that fizzy lemonade and a good lager. Like

02:02:52.819 --> 02:02:55.800
this, I immediately thought this is such a good

02:02:55.800 --> 02:02:59.119
clean lager, it would be perfect. Yes. To make

02:02:59.119 --> 02:03:01.979
like a shandy or anything else with. And in all

02:03:01.979 --> 02:03:07.699
honesty, you don't even need to... dilute this

02:03:07.699 --> 02:03:10.720
because it's already so smooth. Right. Where

02:03:10.720 --> 02:03:12.460
some other lagers can have a bite, especially

02:03:12.460 --> 02:03:14.960
the Pilsner style lagers can have a little bite

02:03:14.960 --> 02:03:17.899
to them. This one you could add lemon juice to.

02:03:18.220 --> 02:03:20.439
Absolutely. To make a change. It's phenomenal.

02:03:20.720 --> 02:03:24.810
Yeah. Really enjoy. Yeah, definitely. Since I

02:03:24.810 --> 02:03:27.970
do prefer the lagers. I gave it four and a half

02:03:27.970 --> 02:03:31.729
I gave four point five solid it is it is On the

02:03:31.729 --> 02:03:33.869
lager scale. I think it's kind of on the high

02:03:33.869 --> 02:03:38.710
end. Yes for me at least that was the play hard

02:03:38.710 --> 02:03:43.529
lager By Sun King. So if you have it we highly

02:03:43.529 --> 02:03:46.229
recommend it I'm not sure if it's more geared

02:03:46.229 --> 02:03:48.010
towards Indiana because it does have the Purdue

02:03:48.010 --> 02:03:52.079
guy on it, right? So maybe it is But if you can

02:03:52.079 --> 02:03:54.100
get it where you're at, I highly recommend it.

02:03:54.359 --> 02:03:57.199
Certainly, absolutely. All right, well that is

02:03:57.199 --> 02:04:01.020
our beer review. Official beer review of the

02:04:01.020 --> 02:04:03.050
week. Official beer review of the week, indeed.

02:04:03.189 --> 02:04:08.489
Man, I just went ahead and saved my score in

02:04:08.489 --> 02:04:10.310
the app. Beautiful. If you are a beer fan, I

02:04:10.310 --> 02:04:11.869
highly recommend getting the app. It's just a

02:04:11.869 --> 02:04:14.609
little bit of added fun. True, yeah. To your

02:04:14.609 --> 02:04:16.770
beer drinking over the weekend. I am now, let's

02:04:16.770 --> 02:04:18.909

02:04:24.949 --> 02:04:27.979
beers. My man. They apparently like that. I unlocked

02:04:27.979 --> 02:04:30.579
another badge, the Logger Jack. Hey, you were

02:04:30.579 --> 02:04:33.739

words, ladies and gentlemen. After a long day,

02:04:36.319 --> 02:04:38.220
what better way to kick back than with a crisp

02:04:38.220 --> 02:04:40.560
and refreshing logger? You're already feeling

02:04:40.560 --> 02:04:42.579
more relaxed, aren't you? Damn right. That's

02:04:42.579 --> 02:04:44.640
five different loggers. Try five more for level

02:04:44.640 --> 02:04:48.199
two. Beautiful. Life's short. Enjoy a brewski.

02:04:48.680 --> 02:04:51.750

and we read them to you to find beautiful people

02:05:19.020 --> 02:05:23.960
to listen to this podcast. This week, I have

02:05:23.960 --> 02:05:29.319
Bulgarian football club Arda Cardzali apologize

02:05:29.319 --> 02:05:32.100
after holding a minute's silence for a former

02:05:32.100 --> 02:05:37.680
player who is still alive. Oh no. Oops, oopsie,

02:05:37.899 --> 02:05:44.479
oopsie. No one went to confirm? Oh, look at that,

02:05:44.619 --> 02:05:48.460
he's right there. Damn it. He's like in the crowd

02:05:48.460 --> 02:05:52.399
at the game like what what? Am I in the Twilight

02:05:52.399 --> 02:05:54.300
Zone? What makes it even better if they did the

02:05:54.300 --> 02:05:56.479
moment of silence and the camera pans over to

02:05:56.479 --> 02:06:00.020
him. That would be amazing. That would be amazing

02:06:00.020 --> 02:06:01.640
and I would give that camera guy an award if

02:06:01.640 --> 02:06:05.880
that happened. SNL bit. Oh, at its finest. Art

02:06:05.880 --> 02:06:09.260
at Cardzali, which is located in southern Bulgarian

02:06:09.260 --> 02:06:13.140
town of Cardzali and to play in the country's

02:06:13.140 --> 02:06:16.619
top division. held the minute's silence in honor

02:06:16.619 --> 02:06:21.260
of Petko Ganchev before Sunday's game against

02:06:21.260 --> 02:06:25.579
Levski Sofia. Oh, rest in peace, Ganchev. Rest

02:06:25.579 --> 02:06:28.560
in peace. My guy. I'm going to spill out a little

02:06:28.560 --> 02:06:30.960
bit of play hard here for you. No, I'm not. It's

02:06:30.960 --> 02:06:33.800
too good. Both teams lined up near the center

02:06:33.800 --> 02:06:37.029
circle before kicking off in a 1 -1 draw. bowing

02:06:37.029 --> 02:06:40.510
their heads to mourn Ganchev. Oh my lord. But

02:06:40.510 --> 02:06:42.850
before the match was over, Arda posted on their

02:06:42.850 --> 02:06:46.189
Facebook page saying they had received wrong

02:06:46.189 --> 02:06:49.210
information about Ganchev's death. The club said

02:06:49.210 --> 02:06:52.090
the management of PFC Arda would like to express

02:06:52.090 --> 02:06:55.109
a huge apology to the former Arda player Petko

02:06:55.109 --> 02:06:58.890
Ganchev and his relatives after the club received

02:06:58.890 --> 02:07:02.149
wrong information about his death. We wish Petko

02:07:02.149 --> 02:07:05.029
Ganchev many more years of good health and to

02:07:05.029 --> 02:07:08.619
enjoy the success of Arda. The post appeared

02:07:08.619 --> 02:07:12.060
to have been deleted by Monday evening. The draw

02:07:12.060 --> 02:07:15.180
means Arda are fifth in the 16 -team table and

02:07:15.180 --> 02:07:17.720
can still secure a place in European football

02:07:17.720 --> 02:07:20.560
next season. Levski stayed second but are 12

02:07:20.560 --> 02:07:25.670
points behind the leaders Ludo Goretz. Wow. Well,

02:07:25.890 --> 02:07:29.229
best of luck to you, Arda. Let's keep an eye

02:07:29.229 --> 02:07:35.289
out on our boy, Garda. Right. Apparently it's

02:07:35.289 --> 02:07:39.329
touch and go. They were worried there for a moment.

02:07:40.170 --> 02:07:42.710
Oh, that's hilarious. I thought that was a great

02:07:42.710 --> 02:07:45.050
story. That was a great story. A moment of silence

02:07:45.050 --> 02:07:49.829
for a dude that's not there. Holy, that's great.

02:07:50.590 --> 02:07:54.590
I got a story here. from ClickOrlando .com, in

02:07:54.590 --> 02:07:58.069
local news, naked greased up Florida man accused

02:07:58.069 --> 02:08:00.489
of breaking into two homes, jumping in pool.

02:08:01.149 --> 02:08:05.470
Oh no. Deputy's believed suspect was under influence

02:08:05.470 --> 02:08:09.609
of unknown substances. You don't say. Really,

02:08:09.789 --> 02:08:11.970
yeah, really. Maybe some of that H you were talking

02:08:11.970 --> 02:08:15.939
about. My man. My man. This is out of DeBerry,

02:08:16.159 --> 02:08:18.819
Florida. A man arrested Friday morning in DeBerry

02:08:18.819 --> 02:08:21.180
after he allegedly broke into two homes, then

02:08:21.180 --> 02:08:23.960
tried to evade deputies by jumping into a swimming

02:08:23.960 --> 02:08:27.539
pool and onto a trampoline, all while naked.

02:08:28.560 --> 02:08:31.260
Deputies say they responded around 2 a .m. to

02:08:31.260 --> 02:08:35.539
a report of burglary at a home on Highbanks Road.

02:08:36.159 --> 02:08:39.819
Encountered the suspect identified as 34 -year

02:08:39.819 --> 02:08:43.439
-old Blake Tokman. The sheriff's office said

02:08:43.439 --> 02:08:46.779
he smashed out a window to break into a home,

02:08:46.960 --> 02:08:50.460
then left and broke into a different house entirely.

02:08:51.020 --> 02:08:52.800
Deputies say they encountered him at the second

02:08:52.800 --> 02:08:55.420
house. Body worn camera video released by them

02:08:55.420 --> 02:08:58.300
shows him running from the deputy, jumping into

02:08:58.300 --> 02:09:01.539
a pool, climbing out of the pool and jumping

02:09:01.539 --> 02:09:06.170
onto the family's trampoline. The sheriff's office

02:09:06.170 --> 02:09:08.869
said it took four deputies to get custody of

02:09:08.869 --> 02:09:11.510
him, who kicked or hid the deputies, one of whom

02:09:11.510 --> 02:09:14.729
was cut on the arm. In addition to being naked,

02:09:15.449 --> 02:09:18.869
they said he was covered in wheel -bearing grease,

02:09:19.390 --> 02:09:23.390
peppermint oil, and blood. They say he was under

02:09:23.390 --> 02:09:26.689
the influence of an unknown substance or substances.

02:09:26.829 --> 02:09:28.689
I could have fucking told you that. Yeah, oh

02:09:28.689 --> 02:09:31.890
yeah. They said it took three medical professionals

02:09:31.890 --> 02:09:35.630
to secure him on a stretcher for evaluation and

02:09:35.630 --> 02:09:40.449
treatment. Three medical techs. Wow. He faces

02:09:40.449 --> 02:09:44.069
charges of two counts of occupied burglary, three

02:09:44.069 --> 02:09:47.350
accounts of battery on a law enforcement officer,

02:09:47.789 --> 02:09:49.989
two counts of criminal mischief and resisting

02:09:49.989 --> 02:09:54.270
arrest with violence. That's a rap sheet, brother.

02:09:55.090 --> 02:09:56.909
Yeah, you're going to do some time on that one.

02:09:57.289 --> 02:10:00.779
Here's why I don't understand. Other than the

02:10:00.779 --> 02:10:04.100
B &E which is not bacon and eggs which are delicious

02:10:04.100 --> 02:10:08.119
you wish I wish indeed Like I think the guy was

02:10:08.119 --> 02:10:11.600
just playing right he was in the pool trampoline

02:10:11.930 --> 02:10:13.609
I think he's just having a good time, and you

02:10:13.609 --> 02:10:15.970
know, if Mr. Happy's floating about out there,

02:10:16.010 --> 02:10:18.069
I mean, that's a problem, but if he's in his

02:10:18.069 --> 02:10:20.010
own yard, eh, maybe not. Yeah, who cares? He

02:10:20.010 --> 02:10:22.090
dips himself in his own wheel -bearing grease,

02:10:22.210 --> 02:10:24.670
don't we all? Don't we all? Sounds like a fun

02:10:24.670 --> 02:10:26.590
time. Covered in peppermint oil, maybe he doesn't

02:10:26.590 --> 02:10:28.550
like spiders, you know? That's what I'm guessing.

02:10:28.550 --> 02:10:30.050
I hear that keeps him away. It does. It definitely

02:10:30.050 --> 02:10:34.529
does. So, I think, set my boy free. No doubt.

02:10:35.149 --> 02:10:39.920
I'm about to log a protest. Yeah. One dude outside

02:10:39.920 --> 02:10:42.399
the jail with a sign. I know everyone's been

02:10:42.399 --> 02:10:44.939
talking about jury nullification with our main

02:10:44.939 --> 02:10:47.680
man, Luigi. Yo, shout out Luigi. What's up, Luigi?

02:10:47.739 --> 02:10:52.800
I think let's jury nullify our wheel oil bearing,

02:10:52.819 --> 02:10:56.560
peppermint oiled up trampoline boy. I think that's

02:10:56.560 --> 02:10:59.319
fair. Break him out. We need to break him out.

02:10:59.539 --> 02:11:02.899
He clearly seems to be stable. If we need to

02:11:02.899 --> 02:11:05.239
take this to the Supreme Court, we'll do it.

02:11:05.699 --> 02:11:09.100
That is just the guy having a good time. I completely

02:11:09.100 --> 02:11:11.920
agree. And in a free country, you're going to

02:11:11.920 --> 02:11:14.779
arrest this man in a supposed free country? Get

02:11:14.779 --> 02:11:16.979
real. Yeah. I mean, really, you just get up to

02:11:16.979 --> 02:11:19.100
the judge and all you have to say is, bitch,

02:11:19.119 --> 02:11:22.260
don't kill my vibe. That's all you have to say.

02:11:22.579 --> 02:11:24.840
You know how the judge is going to respond? A

02:11:24.840 --> 02:11:29.369
word. Word. A word. Word, let that man free,

02:11:30.090 --> 02:11:32.289
clank, clank. I don't know, gavels don't go clank,

02:11:32.329 --> 02:11:34.750
clank. What does the bang, bang, pop, pop? Bang,

02:11:34.869 --> 02:11:37.630
bang. Yeah, I don't know. Whatever fucking noise

02:11:37.630 --> 02:11:40.210
they make. Your Honor, my client pleads oopsie

02:11:40.210 --> 02:11:44.670
daisy. Oopsie daisy. And time served. He can

02:11:44.670 --> 02:11:46.989
go free. And he does have a letter he would like

02:11:46.989 --> 02:11:51.250
to read. Yeah, Your Honor, my bad. Oh, my bad.

02:11:51.529 --> 02:11:57.220
My bad. You are free to go. Oh, hell yeah. Florida

man. Florida man stories are always great. Yeah,

02:11:59.880 --> 02:12:02.300
they have a special place in my heart. Oh, no

02:12:02.300 --> 02:12:07.859
doubt. They're the best. The world has these

02:12:07.859 --> 02:12:11.960
amazing news stories, and yet some of the best

02:12:11.960 --> 02:12:15.140
ones come from our little penis -shaped stage

02:12:15.140 --> 02:12:17.720
of Florida. Yeah, so consistently, too. I don't

02:12:17.720 --> 02:12:21.329
know if it's being so close to the equator. Or,

02:12:21.510 --> 02:12:24.449
I don't know. I don't know why people are so

02:12:24.449 --> 02:12:26.529
fucked up in that state. That must have been

02:12:26.529 --> 02:12:29.010
where the CIA did all their MK Ultra stuff and

02:12:29.010 --> 02:12:31.609
it just passed down generation by generation.

02:12:31.750 --> 02:12:34.170
People getting a little loopy. Well, now they're

02:12:34.170 --> 02:12:36.810
on their third generation of loopiness and it's

02:12:36.810 --> 02:12:39.720
just all hell's breaking loose. Naked dudes running

02:12:39.720 --> 02:12:43.460
down highways or drive driving lawnmower machines

02:12:43.460 --> 02:12:46.699
down the highway Hiding in storm drain. I mean

02:12:46.699 --> 02:12:48.800
just crazy shit throwing alligators through the

02:12:48.800 --> 02:12:51.180
