This is a Rooster Teeth production.
Welcome to Face Jam, the show where we do try every new fast food crew.
Ashen, to let you know if you need it, you probably do.
I'm your host, still kicking Michael Jones alongside
my co-host, Jordan Sweers. Jordan,
how are you? Today, I'm
fine and very thankful for it.
I feel great. You're at a safe distance?
I'm at a safe distance
and, you know, I sound
good. I feel good.
Right. Are you talking about you or me?
My teeth don't hurt which i'm especially grateful for all of a sudden my teeth only hurt at night my teeth only
hurt when i'm trying to sleep oh aka the best time for your teeth to hurt looking it up to see if it
was a sinus infection it was like hey if the top of your teeth hurt when you have uh like block
sinuses uh that could be a cause of sinus infection.
Or you might need to go to the dentist.
Yeah.
I wonder which one it is.
So you made two appointments just in case.
Yeah, just in case. Yeah, you never know.
You know when you go to the dentist and you're like, yeah, the back of my top
teeth hurt at night.
The back of my top teeth?
Is that a night cavity?
Is that what that's called?
Do I need a night cavity? Is that what that's called? Do I need a night feeling?
I currently have COVID and a sinus infection
and it's not fun, man. It sucks.
I didn't realize I had the sinus infection
until I'm getting over the COVID
and I was like, why do I still feel bad?
Oh, my teeth hurt. Great.
My teeth hurt.
Anyway, I'm taking my medicine.
The Arby's Diablo Dare sandwiches.
Not one, but two.
We've got two Arby's sandwiches.
Eric, I'm going to be honest.
I was kind of shocked you said both.
I thought for sure it would just be one of them.
What do you mean?
We do this all the time.
Yeah, but we always do it with burgers and chicken.
The fact that it was brisket and chicken.
Brisket's burger enough for this?
Yeah, I argue it's all the more reason to do it because they're so different.
I just thought Eric, in his inferior ways, would say,
No, brisket's different enough.
We don't need two sandwiches.
Brisket's different.
Why would I say it's different enough?
Brisket's different.
Why bog it down with chicken? We always do chicken. Just do the brisket. Make the brisket's different. Why would I say it's different enough? Why bog it down with chicken?
We always do chicken. Just do the brisket.
Make the brisket the star.
We have both. We typically get both.
That's what you definitely said.
We do these. We do both of them.
We've never done brisket before, so how is it typical at all?
I think what I'm sensing
is that Michael is just really disappointed
he didn't get the opportunity to lambast.
Oh, don't worry.
He's making up for it.
Oh, there's never,
there'll never be a path for me not to do it.
That's true.
We'll find a path.
If I think I'm taking a right,
if I think I'm taking a right
and it turns out to be a left,
it's not a problem.
There's going to be another fork in the road
to get back there and really hammer it.
Thanks, man.
But anyway, hey, no problem, dude.
I'm always thinking about you.
We went to Arby's.
This is our first two-peat, I think, right?
No.
Also, did you call it a two-peat?
Yeah.
Repeat?
Michael could be right, but
all the restaurants
we've done twice, we have now done
three times, so this is
our only two pete so what you're saying is that we've only done one twice and it would be our
yeah the two pete yeah the keep saying two pete yeah two pete we've done it twice what do you
think the pete and two pete comes wait don't do that don't do that. Don't do what?
Now you're just using your soundboard.
Are you referencing an edit that we don't know happened yet? An edit?
Oh my God.
After the fact, like when you say the restaurant whose name is not spoken on the podcast and
we edited it out.
Look at his fucking face.
Look at his face.
You look like...
I'm losing my mind.
You look like Marv from Home Alone. You do. You look like a look like Marv from Home Alone
You do, you look like a wet bandit
I've gotten to the point where I'm still sick
But I'm over like, oh my god
I can't move sick, and now I'm just
I don't feel good, but I'm also
Stir crazy from being in my house for
Three weeks. What happened? I don't know, dude
The world, some sick
Some sick
Go ahead and censor that.
Anyway, so now the fire is coming back in me.
I'm just looking to lash out.
At least you got your sense of taste.
No, I never lost the taste.
Funny enough, I mean, I'm assuming, you know, they don't tell you brands when you get COVID,
but Omicron is quite different.
A different flavor?
Doesn't have any of the flair of the taste lost and any of that shit.
Oddly enough, very similar to a sinus infection.
So you might think you have one or the other, but you may have both.
It depends on if your teeth are hurting right now while you're listening to this.
How much are your teeth hurting?
Oh, dude, it's throbbing.
Absolutely throbbing.
It's fine now, but it'll come back.
Can you feel your heartbeat on the top back of your teeth?
No, I can feel it on the spot on my nose,
like in between my eyes and my nose.
Oh, your sinuses.
Well, this is where two of your sinuses are, yeah.
Your sinuses. Well, no, trust me. your sinuses are. Yeah. Your sinuses.
Well,
no,
trust me.
I looked it up.
I web MD.
There's there.
Your sinuses really are like in your cheeks.
And then there's the two like in your head.
Yeah.
But then there's like the,
the little ones like on attached to your nose that aren't like sinus sacks,
but they're part of them.
It's those,
it's this one.
Ah,
it's the,
it's the one on my left nose.
I looked it up. It's usually just one side. Oh, um the one on my left nose i looked it up it's usually just
one side oh um well that's easy they'll take care of that quick well what's great is i just i just
have to like massage it all night which does give me relief until i stop massaging it then it hurts
again but now it's killing me well now it's killing me all day because i bruised it i think
from massaging it too much now it hurts from me pushing so hard on the bridge of my nose. You rubbed it
for so long you caused yourself pain
so now there's no relief.
The pain now is nothing to what's awaiting
me tonight. I'm terrified.
I'm terrified.
I didn't go to bed until 6am this morning.
Oh my god!
It was so bad. Anyway,
fucking Arby's, I don't know.
I can't believe Arby's would do that.
The last thing I had when I had my health was Burger King.
What a waste.
What a shame.
And now you're coming back.
You're roaring back with Arby's.
Roaring back with the two bottom rungs in a row.
How do you climb a ladder from two bottom rungs?
Yep.
Started at the bottom.
Now we're here.
At the bottom, we're here.
Today, we're reviewing Arby's.
You said this already.
Thank God he doesn't...
I know, I'm just circling back.
I felt like it was...
He's resetting.
I don't know if your brain's fucked up now because of all this illness.
Well, it's from the teeth pain.
There is a lot of goo in my brain.
If you leave a sinus infection long enough, it can infect your brain.
I was reading about that.
If it gets bad enough.
I think maybe it's in his brain.
I think it just went into, I think we watched it.
There was a moment there.
Jordan threw me off.
He doesn't get a rating and we don't want to hear what he has to say anyway,
but Nick couldn't even get the food.
It's true.
It's like too new.
What the fuck?
How new is it?
Is it like brand new, Eric?
Yesterday.
So it came out on,
this is the 11th,
the day that we're recording this.
Damn, dude.
The 10th is the day it came out,
and it was not on their website at all yesterday.
It was today.
I had a plan.
I went way earlier to go get the food because I had to make sure it was there because if
it wasn't there, then we couldn't do the show.
Luckily, I went great.
Oh, I'm sure we would have done the show.
Trust me.
Oh, no, no, no.
We would have had to pivot and do the other thing, which is limited there now, which is
the Arby's fish and cheddar sandwich and the mint chocolate shake.
That is the thing that is limited right now at Arby's.
100%.
Do they do that around this time of year every year?
Apparently.
Apparently.
You know what?
No, what?
The last time I think we did an Arby's episode,
Michael was very sick.
From the Arby's?
Oh, my God.
I don't remember.
The last time we did the Arby's
was when we did it in the big broadcast
space and I was angry about it.
I only remember that because
it was that
plus fish. Yes. And it's
impossible to forget. Imagine going to Arby's for
fish. Like who does that?
Yeah. You remember how excited
Cole was to eat it? Yeah, I do.
To this day.
He's still
talking about it.
But yeah, so I
went to Arby's and it was
forever. It took forever
to get through the line. Really? And from
what I can tell. Hustling there at the Round
Rock Arby's? Oh, it was quite busy
but I don't know. Sometimes you can tell
if a fiasco is going on.
Sometimes you can't, right? Like maybe there's a fiasco in the kitchen and you can't know. Sometimes you can tell if a fiasco is going on. Sometimes you can't write like maybe there's a fiasco in the kitchen and you
can't tell this just seemed like I got fiasco vibes,
right?
I was like people running around in the parking lot with no shirt on or
something.
You go,
something's going on.
You know,
Arby's fiasco is just anything,
dude.
You go to fast food places,
you see shit.
You know what I mean?
Right.
Like a lady in the parking lot yelling about a monkey.
Yeah,
right.
There were no telltale signs of a fiasco taking place so i can only assume it was um just like
normal lunch hours right and uh it took me i would say about 20 to 25 minutes to get to the
speaker whoa with only i don't know six seven cars in front of me wow uh and then it took another
maybe 10 or so minutes to get to the window like a water burger at like midnight and then
it was it absolutely was that and then maybe another five or ten minutes to get my food i
would say not exaggerating it probably took me about 40 minutes to get wow two things. I ordered the two sandwiches and then,
um,
I also got a chicken nugget meal for one of my children and that's it.
And it took 40 minutes.
Oh crap.
Wow.
Did you get a special shake?
I,
well,
well,
I'll tell you,
I did,
but,
um,
I pulled,
I had the,
the menu up online,
like on my phone to see what the fuck I was ordering.
Cause I got to the sign and I was like,
Oh great.
It's not anywhere.
They're not even going to fucking have it.
But instead of,
instead of asking,
I was just like,
fuck it.
I'm just going to order it.
Right.
If they,
if they tell me no,
then whatever.
So I ordered it.
And then the guy just,
he seemed agreeable to the words I was saying.
So I was like,
I guess,
I guess they have it.
I guess they have it.
So then I got to wait for 10 or 15 minutes.
In suspense.
I got up to the window.
And so I got the soda that I got.
I got one meal.
And then I just got like the extra sandwich.
And so it's supposed to come with the sandwich, the fries, the drink and a milkshake because it's so hot.
Yeah.
You need a milkshake to cool down.
And so I had gotten a disgusting mint chocolate shake for my child because they wanted it.
So I pulled up to the window and he gave me the soda and the mint shake and that was it.
And I was like, does the, I was like, doesn't the whatever fucking dare drug program meal
come with, I was like, does that come with the shake? And he goes,
oh, do you want it?
And I was like, uh, yeah. And he goes,
oh, okay, it's optional.
But he didn't give you the option?
I was like, one.
I was like, one? What?
Why is it optional? Just give it to me. Two,
you didn't mention it. And there's no fucking
pictures of it. And I was just like, what the fuck
scam they trying to pull here? I don't even know how Eric knew about it
if I hadn't like if Eric hadn't
said that like maybe it comes with a shake
I wouldn't have been prepared for when the lady
handed me two vanilla
shakes I would have been so
confused because there was no mention of it
he said it but again the only reason
I was sure is because it is
on the website today and so I just went
to like the Arby's website and there's a picture of it.
See, I thought they would just give you a shake instead of a drink.
But clearly there was pictured a drink and a shake.
And I was like, oh, it's extra.
And then this guy's going, well, that's optional.
I don't.
But he didn't give you the option.
No option was given.
But I got it.
I got it.
Yeah, you got it.
It's like tiny though.
It only took you 40 minutes. I got it. Yeah. You got it. It's like tiny though. It's tiny. It only took you 40 minutes.
It took forever.
Um,
but it was worth it.
When I went,
I looked all over the board and everything where you order.
I looked everywhere and then pulled it up on my phone to be like,
I don't know.
I guess I was going to show the speaker box.
Like this is a real thing
sir sir my eyes are not located in the speaker they got eagle eyes i just kept looking and
looking and looking and going uh okay um she's like can you take your order and i said yeah can
i do you or is do you have um the hot the science infection chicken and she just went yeah and i looked
at the speaker box and there's a fucking sign right on the speaker box of both things and i
went oh it's right in front of me give me gotcha both it was like what the fuck i needed to find
those as quickly as possible when i went and i did uh because i forgot what the fuck they were
called and i didn't want to be like do you got the devil sandwiches or what?
Dude,
I pulled up the message.
I'll be honest.
Nick said something about it yesterday.
I mentioned like,
cause we were going to do this earlier in the day and it got pushed to
later.
And I was just like,
I'm kind of glad we're doing it a little bit later.
So we don't have to eat this first thing in the morning.
And Nick mentioned something about Diablo.
And I went,
the fuck is he talking about?
I don't even know what he's talking about.
And then,
and then today I went,
Oh, that's what the sandwich is called. Got it. That's what he meant.
So like, dude, I went
back. I found what Eric posted. I went to
the website. I had six
documentations in front of me before I
went there because I was just like, look, I'm going to
feed them the info and I didn't ask shit.
I went, no, give me this. And they went, okay.
I was authoritative.
It's a thing that just came out like it kind of like landed in our laps because there's a couple other things that we
could have eaten from other restaurants but this just came out and it it's so kind of ridiculous
we've already gotten so many people sending it to us yeah oh i so too many in fact yes if you
send it to me i have to block and unblock you.
And I hope you understand that.
I've been very clear about that.
I don't need suggestions.
I know what I'm doing.
You don't need them, but you want them.
No, I don't want them.
Don't send them to me.
Right.
He doesn't need them and he's going to block you.
But, you know, you, you, if you do it, you're special.
He's going to block and unblock you.
So you do it and it's okay.
He won't block you.
You can re, you can refollow.
Don't send me anything else. But if you do it enough and he catches on then he's gonna block you oh
100 if he looks and says haven't i blocked and unblocked this guy then you might block yeah
somehow not learning what you're doing here it seems pretty clear i've been pretty black and
white about the whole thing um as long as you send it to him and say, I'm special. Don't block me.
That's exactly what. Also, the other thing is
you got to understand when Eric tells you not
to send him anything or not to do anything.
Feel free for you, the one person,
not everyone, the one individual listening
and go, not me. Right.
Right, right, right. I must be talking to
everyone else.
Eric's talking to everyone else, not me.
I get it. I'm in on it.
The guy who said you should eat somewhere. Everyone else. Eric's talking to everyone else. Not me. I get it. I'm in on it. Not me.
The guy who said you should eat somewhere.
I'm going to send it to him, but when I do it, it'll be funny.
I can't believe Eric really roasted everybody else.
Can't believe he called out the whole audience besides me like that.
He's really going after all those idiots. How embarrassing for everyone else.
me like that he's really going after all those idiots for everyone else you guys must feel so dumb that me and eric both think that you're stupid um so we had a lot of
people sending us this one and um i blocked and unblocked all of them and um it it is it's a weird thing where I think Arby's is trying to be cool,
but isn't quite sure what that means.
You guys got your sandwiches in boxes, yeah?
And did it have TikTok stickers on the top?
No, it did, but I kind of just ignored that.
No, mine were wrapped. Really? So on the top of it did but i kind of just ignored that hold no mine were in mine were wrapped really so
on the top of these boxes i'll send you guys i can actually hold it up for you now there's a
little qr code too there is a qr code it's a virus it is for the diablo challenge i'm gonna take it
you scan a code and then you scan the code, you eat on camera
and you try not to sip the shake.
Okay.
I did it without even trying. I didn't record it.
The optional shake.
The shake that you don't know
that you get or they might not give you.
Prepare to do our challenge
on your TikTok channel. Or they won't give you
straws for it because I got two shakes
and zero straws.
Oh, that's funny. I got a straw
that I got one sip
and then I went, it must be broken.
Because I was driving home going,
this air is
sure to stay safe.
And I just went, the straw must be
cracked. Let me keep trying.
Nope, still
nothing. Maybe it works now.
I don't know. Does it work? It sounds Maybe it works now. I don't know.
Does it work?
It sounds like it's working.
Got a little bit.
Oh, yeah.
Sounds good, buddy.
Got a little bit.
It sounds like it's empty.
This is 90% full.
It's like filled to the top.
That's how good that straw is.
There's so much in there.
I think it's also how good the shake is.
Yeah, really.
It's weird how the shake, it's a vanilla shake.
You don't have an option.
They just give you a vanilla shake, a very tiny vanilla shake.
Also, the guy said, what flavor do you want?
What?
Yeah.
I forgot about that.
This guy doesn't know any of the rules.
Because I had the same reaction.
He went, oh, you want the shake?
It's optional.
I went, yeah.
And he went, oh, cool.
Okay.
What flavor do you want?
And I thought, isn't it vanilla?
So I just got vanilla because that's what was the promotion.
But this place is going willy nilly.
You got a crazy Arby's, bro.
I think I know why it took you 40 minutes to get your food.
Yeah.
People would pull up to the thing.
They ordered like an Arby's melt.
And he's like, you want cheese?
Cheese is optional.
Or they ordered like something from like another restaurant.
He's like, all right, yeah, I'll get that for you.
You want McDonald's?
We get McDonald's.
We can do it.
Yeah, I fit this figured out.
I'll hook you up.
But so what I was saying is I feel like Arby's is trying to be like, hey, man, do our cool challenge.
But I don't know that they know what that means or what it is because this is eat our sandwich.
But film yourself eating the sandwich.
I don't really. That's not like a dance that's just eating a sandwich and also i feel like the crossover for people who eat at arby's and use tiktok is not oh that's about a zero right yeah i
because we talked about that before like when we went to Arby's before, it felt like the demographic there,
maybe the demographic for this podcast,
not really a demographic for Tik TOK.
You know what I mean?
So,
but probably demographic for Arby's.
Yeah.
What?
This podcast.
Oh yes.
Yes.
That's what I'm saying.
This.
Yeah.
If our jammers are a demographic for anything,
it's probably Arby's.
It's Arby's.
And,
and that's,
that's a real,
and also apparently Burger King. Yeah. What the fuck? It's not Arby's. It's Arby's and that's a real bummer. And also apparently Burger
King. Yeah, what the fuck, guys?
It's not the demographic. They're just
the Burger Kingers shout the
loudest because, again,
the Burger King
fans, much like the franchise
itself, just scream
to be noticed as
McDonald's and McDonald's fans
just exist at the top. fans just exist at the top.
They just exist at the top.
And they go, hey, you must have bad Burger King
in Texas. It's great here.
Yeah, I bet that's what it is.
I bet it's not you've been fooled and indoctrinated.
It's because Texas has bad Burger King.
It's the same guy who thinks Eric
is talking to everyone but him.
Boy, Jordan, you fucking nailed it.
Boy, weirdo it every other burger king
sucks but mine uh it it really when we get people coming out of the word work to defend burger king
and the thing they say is it's not like mcdonald's is that good i don't even know what to say to that
we're judging fast food places and the one that you like happens to fucking suck. That's it. I mean, I'm not
Michael. I'm not going to say that McDonald's
is the best restaurant in the world.
I feel the same way. I didn't say that either.
That has nothing to do with how Burger King
sucks. Just because I go there
constantly doesn't mean I say it's the best
in the world. I know what it is, but
Burger King sucks. We all know that.
Burger King sucks. We can all
put our differences aside as four
Buck Kings and say
yep, and there he is.
The execution has come out.
Did he just do a very casual execution?
It was casual. He did.
Oh, I do want to point out the thing that brought
us to this conversation is that Nick was not able
to get the food.
He still got food from Arby's.
Still took a picture in his car with the food
took it home to his wife and has been trying to trick her into going to another arby's so she can
really get the food for him how is how are you gonna trick her oh he gave her a bite of something
that she liked and and she's like oh that oh those are pretty good and he went yeah
you should go to a different Arby's now and get
some and also get me
this sandwich.
He's real smooth.
He's been trying to pull a fast one.
As I sat in the drive-thru for 40 minutes
and you were like, yeah, take a picture of the food
when you get it. I went, I'm not doing that.
I saw Nick's picture
come in without the food, and he's like,
I'll do it! And I just went, I don't give a fuck.
Fuck Arby's. Fuck you.
Oh, man. Anyway, that was...
Something happened. I don't know. We should get on to the fact.
Oh, the haiku. Yeah, we just wet our
whistle. And now it's time for our haiku.
We soaked our whistle, I think, actually.
It's fucking dripping, pal. Yeah, it's a drenched
whistle. Arby's.
They achieved the meats,
but at the expense of taste,
the monkey's paw curls.
So that was their wish?
They wanted the meats,
but at what cost?
I wish we had the meats.
And also, is Nick the monkey?
I don't even know, dude.
It was like this, but then it curls into a gun.
Oh, no.
Don't curl his trigger finger.
Uh-oh.
No, he's defenseless.
It was a good haiku, Jordan.
Thank you very much. It was very good haiku, Jordan. Thank you very much.
It was very good.
Yep.
Let's get on to the Arby's two Pete facts.
Our previous Arby's episode was released January 21st, 2020.
Almost two years ago.
Where we ate the fish and cheddar sandwich and mint chocolate shake.
It received an average score of 28.
That's how you can tell it was two years ago.
That would get like a five.
Dude,
I read that and went 28.
Insane.
That was probably the lowest,
lowest score at the time.
It was.
I think we were like,
we killed it.
Dude,
places would love to get a 28 at this point.
I think after the episode,
we talked about if we were too harsh on it and the score.
And now,
because the average was a 28.
Two years later,
not harsh enough.
That should be a two.
Now we review Arby's.
Someone in Arby's is listening going,
man,
I hope they actually ate it.
And I hope Jordan doesn't have a vendetta.
I hope someone doesn't want to make us pay.
Yeah,
I hope everyone's in a good mood today.
28, yeah!
Way higher than we would give it now.
And also, I was going to say, you said it's available now, and we would have gotten it again.
I was like, well, it would just be a 28 again.
No way.
No way would it have been a 28.
No, there's no way.
Michael gave it a 34, I think.
Crazy. No way would it have been a 20. No, there's no way. Michael gave it a 34, I think. I think I also probably just like,
I gave it points that I couldn't really,
like I hate fish, right?
And so I was just like, I'll rate it one, zero.
And so I had to like give it a handicap beyond myself,
which is I think the only reason i gave it that score right because it's like i could rate it a five but i'd hate it no matter
what it tasted like so i i guess maybe based on cole going give me give me give me give me
30 i don't know is there cheese on that fish tip it down my throat i I wouldn't have that sympathy for it now. No.
Touted as the, quote, spiciest QSR, quick service restaurant, sandwich on the market.
These Diablo dares come with a free snack, vanilla, quote, extinguish shake, end quote.
This is a better promotion than when they had their quote, buy one, get one dick melt free at
that one location a few years ago, which
we went to. Yeah, we got our dicks melted.
Yeah, we got absolutely melted. We're
smooth like Ken dolls. But I'll say
the shake is optional. You have to ask
for it and it can be any flavor.
Don't forget to say, can I
have that or does it come with this and also
specify what flavor
for a straw too do they think quick service restaurant is fancier than fast food yes i
think so what does that mean we're just we're gonna we're gonna flip the script we're not fast
food or the spiciest qsr on the promo material stuff it was touted as yeah this qsr sandwich is so hot we've never done
anything like that and it's like what the fuck is key i've never seen this is that like teraflops
this is our rating but we're the only one that uses this because we made it up
yep that's exactly what it is weird In February 2013
at an Arby's in Waynesville, North Carolina
a 38 inch curly fry was found
and holds the world record for largest curly fry was found and holds the world record for largest curly fry.
Ladies, I've seen
bigger kind of like
smirking. Lenny face.
Emoji.
It's not really an emoji. It's like
what's that like? An emoticon. What's that called?
Like AS
ASC. ASM whatever. ASCI?
No. ASCI. It's like
ASCI. It's like that butS-C-I-I.
It's like that, but like...
It's the Lenny face.
Oh, that's it. That's the end.
Yeah, okay.
I didn't know what it was called,
but it's like this though, right?
It's like...
Would you agree?
Would you agree?
Whoa!
That song came out when I was driving back
from the restaurant restaurant by the way
I still got it
we can't escape
at the live show we have to play
that song
it's like my
45 50 year old uncle
at Thanksgiving and it's like the one joke
that makes my nieces
and nephews laugh and that's Eric.
Every now and then I go
I just go, whoa!
I don't know why I just love it!
It tickles me.
It's so perfect.
It's so dead on.
It's very, very funny to me.
And somehow I just ignore my sinuses.
It's because it doesn't come from up here.
It comes from my diaphragm.
It comes down and goes up.
Whereas my normal sexy, sultry Michael, it's all up here.
All right.
What do we got?
One more?
One more turd fact.
Two.
No, two.
Oh, my God.
Oh, boy.
Great.
Last one's a doozy.
But before that, the penultimate two-peat fact there are no
arby's locations in the entire state of rhode island and it also is illegal to ride a horse
on the highway in order to test its speed we at face jam say it's time for a change
so ride your horse as fast as it will go to a new Arby's.
I guess out of state, though?
Yeah, you'd have to get it out of there.
At least it's Rhode Island, so 20-minute drive any direction.
Wouldn't take you very long.
Especially if you've already tested how fast your horse will go.
Do you need someone else on a horse?
How's that?
Well, I mean, how do you know how fast you're going when you're riding the horse?
Someone else has to measure it.
You just look, I guess.
Oh, I look like I'm going about this fast?
Yeah.
I gotta be going 24, 25.
It's a horse.
It's not like he's going 80.
Are people riding horses like that big of a problem in Rhode Island that they needed to ban this?
Apparently.
I mean, you wouldn't know, Jordan, because it's not allowed.
Yeah.
So it's not a problem at all, actually.
There's also laws where
you can't smoke a pipe on Sundays
or something. I try to get my horse up
to about a third of speed as Jeff
could throw. That's true.
You're right there. That's like 20 miles an hour, yeah.
Well, I was thinking about 35.
I'm going to look up how fast is a normal horse.
I was going to look up how fast can Jeff throw.
I could tell you both. And then I was going to look up how fast is a normal horse. I was going to look up how fast can Jeff throw. I could tell you both.
And then I was going to look up how fast is a good horse.
Okay.
A normal horse, 25 to 30 miles an hour.
Wow.
Which is 40 to 48 kilometers per hour if you're in the UK.
No one cares.
Canada.
Anywhere else in the world.
Jeff can throw 48?
Yeah.
On a sick day. 48? Well, he's always on a sick day.
48?
Well, he's always on a sick day.
He's never well.
Yeah, I don't think he's been... For as long as I've known Jeff,
I don't know that he's ever been well.
What about when he takes the cuffs off?
What cuffs does he have?
When he takes off the weighted training bands.
Is that his tattoos?
What are the weighted cuffs?
Oh, he hasn't taken them off yet.
He doesn't know.
Eric doesn't know yet.
Eric, you're going to look like a dainty.
When he does, stand back.
He was really impressed when Gavin threw 43.
He went, oh, that's pretty fast.
Half as fast as 80.
Great.
Yep.
Wow.
Who are all these people you're talking about?
Did you look up how fast a good horse goes?
No. And while you do that, the last fact, did you look up how fast a good horse goes? No.
Um,
and while you do that,
the last fact,
Tom Arnold was the voice of the oven mitt.
There's an oven mitt.
That's it.
Why didn't Nick go?
Huh?
Yeah.
Yeah.
The oven mitt.
Yeah.
Arby's had like an oven mitt thing,
which is not to be confused with hamburger.
That's all I can picture for some reason,
which is also a hand.
That's a,
that's just like a hand though.
Right?
Not an oven mitt.
That's like a glove. It's different. And there's H a hand. That's that's just like a hand, though, right? Not an oven mitt. That's like a glove.
It's different.
There's H. John Benjamin, who's the it's funny because I don't remember the oven mitt, but
I do remember Tom Arnold being some sort of fast food voice.
So it must have been Arby's unless you did more than one.
Oh, God.
Do you look up Tom Arnold?
Is it just a picture of tom arnold
if this isn't the most early 2000s thing i've ever seen oh it's really like bad cg but like
we learned how to do it so we're doing it and he's making the fucking like dreamworks face
he's always got like one eye yeah
my cat he's making break in. Hold on.
He's making that ASMR face
or whatever
of like the emote thing
that I put earlier.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
That's what he's doing.
I found out an Appaloosa
goes 30 to 40 miles an hour.
Yeah.
I'm on the one that's 40.
You're on the 40 mile an hour horse?
Yeah.
Again,
that's a little slower
than how fast Jeff throws a baseball.
Well,
on a sick day.
Again,
on a sick day.
The only days that he has.
And those are the facts.
We learned about Arby's.
What's interesting is like,
you can tell how little anyone cares.
I like that it's like a 38-inch curly fry was found
and holds the world's record.
Yeah.
That just means no one's ever tried.
Yeah, no.
That's how little anyone cares.
Yeah, everyone just went,
what is it? Who cares?
World's records are usually someone going,
I'm going to do this thing.
Huh, I guess that's a world record.
Anyway, back to making fries at Arby's.
Is it specifically the world record for finding a long curly fry?
I'm the man who found it.
How can no one top that easily?
I think they can. I think no one cares.
I think that's the the point there is it's
You care so little who the fuck's going. I'm gonna go for four. I think we should do it I'm gonna make the 40 inch curly fry
We have to get a 40 inch potato also, what does it even mean cuz it's like how do you measure it?
Curly anymore point I'm coming Curled up like Also, what does it even mean? Because it's like, how do you measure it? Do you uncurl it? Because it's not curly anymore. At what point?
I'm confused.
What does that even mean?
Are you measuring it curled up?
What does radius mean?
What's a diameter?
Hang on.
Hang on.
Now you're just asking questions.
What does radius mean?
Yeah.
What's the diameter of it?
And then we don't have to uncurl it, right?
Is that how that works?
We'll do it on Pi Day.
Uh-huh. That's right. More like Friday. And then we don't have to uncurl it right is that how that works yeah, hi day
Well like Friday
Whoa Here comes Jordan. I love it. I didn't say anything, but I yeah you had my mouth open. I saw it open
I'm yeah, I figured you were just really exciting as a sinus infection
Actually the number of times I've been going oh
I was taking control.
The number of times I've been going... Oh, I can hear your teeth move.
Are you doing a lot of
plugging your nose to clear your ears out?
No, my ears haven't
been a problem.
It's all here. It's all in the front.
It's all like eyeball and under.
Yeah, it feels like there's a
nail going in the back of my left eye a lot.
Cool and fun.
So, there's that. But did the back of my left eye a lot. Cool. Cool and fun. So there's that.
But did Arby's help you?
It didn't hurt.
Didn't hurt me.
I'll say that.
We'll see.
Yeah, give it time.
I ate it and went,
not the worst thing I've experienced this week.
So it's a pretty good day for Arby's.
I'm going to say like,
they're benefiting from my state right now. so it's a pretty good day for Arby's. I'm going to say like, they,
they're benefiting from my state right now.
I assume this would be worse than the sinus infection I'm experiencing.
However,
you know how they say hunger is the best sauce.
Well,
in this case,
being sick is the best.
If I have to take,
Oh,
I also,
I've been trying to sleep sitting up cause it's worse if you lie down.
So,
so it gets me sitting up, sitting upright at 5. I am screaming into the night been trying to sleep sitting up cause it's worse if you lie down. So, so it gets me sitting up, sitting upright at 5am screaming into the night, trying to
sleep or eating this sandwich.
I think I'd take the sandwich.
Okay.
Arby's can quote that and put it on the menu next to the food that they're not advertising
with the optional shake.
They don't tell you about it's vanilla, but you can get any flavor you want.
Look above the speaker.
My speaker was clean.
Damn wild. Arby's Diablo. My speaker was clean. Damn. Wild.
Arby's Diablo Dare Sandwiches.
Better than a sinus infection.
I think that that's... I got two thumbs up from Nick.
Put my name on it. I'll
agree to that. I'll test that. It would have been great if it
cleared your sinus infection because it's so spicy.
I was hoping that it would. We were trying
to cure you all. I was hoping it was going to be so hot.
Fellas, we haven't gotten to the review yet. Oh, that's right.
That's true. That was close. Hey, are you't gotten to the review yet. Oh, that's right. That's true.
That was close.
Hey, are you guys excited to go to Chicago?
No, not at all.
What?
Oh.
Do you want me to lie?
Yeah.
Whoa.
Can't wait. I definitely believe you.
What do you want from me?
Are you shocked?
I want you to be excited to go to Chicago.
It's going to be fun.
No, what you want me to do is go to Chicago, and I am doing that.
So be happy with that.
You didn't say anything about having to be excited about it. I didn't say I wasn't going to go. I was just asking if you Chicago, and I am doing that. So be happy with that. You didn't say anything about him having to be excited about it.
I didn't say I wasn't going to go.
Well, I mean, I was just asking if you were, but I think it's going to be fun.
What's that going to change anything at all?
I'm going.
Being excited?
Yeah, don't worry about how I feel.
Mind your own business, all right?
You know what?
You know what?
You're right.
Mind your own.
Hey, man, you excited?
Hey, mind your own hey man you excited hey mind your fucking business look if i
said no and i'm not going then i then you know then i'd say hey you might have uh you know
something to do with this but that's not what i said so back off you know what i mean i would say
okay it's affecting you you might have a say in this but don't worry about my mental state okay
you worry pack your own bags don't worry about it mental state. Okay? Pack your own bags. Don't worry about it.
You sound like a Chicago guy.
Hey.
He's already there.
You're already doing it.
See?
Mentally, you're already in Chicago.
No, no, no.
When I get there, it's Chicago.
Oh, Chicago.
The windy apple.
Chicago.
I don't know.
Whatever.
I'll be excited the second I'm there. And I'll hate it until that point.
That's true.
Not looking forward to the process of getting there.
But being there will be great.
Yeah.
I'm old enough where I hate everything that I have to do.
Right.
And then.
Because I hate having to do it.
But once I'm doing it, it's fine.
The road trip was great when we did it.
That was a lot of fun.
It was exhausting.
It was a lot of fun.
I loathed it for three months before we did it i was just like fucking kill me
we gotta do stupid road trips piece of shit we did it and i was like this is great it's a great
way to segue if you are second guessing buying tickets to our live show in chicago because
you know you don't really feel like going out to a place and driving there.
And maybe you will.
But you'll love it once you're there.
Once you're there, it'll be great.
So just think about that.
It's going to be great when you actually get out of your fucking house and you come down to Talia Hall.
Leave your goddamn bedroom.
Come down and see Face Jam, idiot.
Even if you hate it and you think you don't want to go, buy a ticket anyway.
Buy a ticket.
Maybe you'll be happy once it starts.
Have the ticket. Look at the ticket. Have the ticket. Look at a ticket. Maybe you'll be happy once it starts. Have the ticket.
Look at the ticket.
Have the ticket.
Look at the ticket.
Go.
I'm going to hate this.
And then go and have a good time.
Or buy the ticket.
Look at the ticket.
Go.
I'm going to hate this.
I'm not going to go.
But still keep that ticket.
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
Just in case.
Don't refund it.
No.
You can go to rtxevent.com.
You can get a ticket there.
I'm excited.
I don't know what we're eating in Chicago yet.
I mean, I have an idea, but I need to get with you guys and make sure that we're all
on the same page about what we're actually going to eat.
And then I assume lambast in front of a bunch of people.
They go, oh, what's a Chicago accent?
What are you doing?
Dumb bears.
Nailed it.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I figured that's probably the long and short of what's going to happen
well don't give it all away now
now they already know they don't enjoy it
and they're not going to come
Nick can you help me out
just delete all of that
good at it Nick
and we're back
I don't even want to keep saying Nick
he's not even doing it
son of a bitch his plan's working I don't even know why I keep saying Nick. He's not even doing it. It's Kelly.
Son of a bitch.
His plan's working.
He just sits here and he just assumes credit.
He eats the food.
He didn't even eat the food.
And he doesn't edit the show.
This is what happens when he can't get the food.
He just is like, boy.
He ate different food.
He's not reviewing it.
He's not editing it.
And he's trying to trick his wife
into getting him the food the same day that's the best part is he's trying to trick his wife i think
that's my favorite part yeah yeah oh jordan what the hell what the hell yeah what did we eat let's
see let's see i can only imagine this god this is this all is too long i hope they mentioned
tiktok and i get to say Extinguishake.
Diablo brisket sandwich.
Smoked brisket with ghost pepper jack cheese.
Fiery seasoning.
Fire roasted jalapenos, pickles, lettuce, mayonnaise, and a Diablo barbecue sauce on a toasted red chipotle bun.
Served with a free snack-sized vanilla shake to help you cool down.
Trust us, you'll need it.
Damn.
Yeah.
We got Tiny Tacos Red Bun.
You should get it.
Those buns were very red.
Yeah.
Nick wouldn't know,
but they were very red.
Diablo Chicken Sandwich.
Crispy chicken.
Yeah, tell me how it is.
Very different.
With ghost pepper cheese,
fiery seasoning,
fire-roasted jalapenos,
pickles, lettuce, mayonnaise, and a Diablo barbecue sauce on a toasted red Chipotle bun.
Serve it with a free snack-sized vanilla shake to help you cool down.
Trust us, you'll need it.
I love when they do that.
Damn.
There you have it.
Copy guy couldn't be bothered.
What's the thing?
Smoked brisket.
Cool.
Crispy chicken.
Fuck you.
Yeah.
I mean, I guess you could invest
in describing the one thing
that's different on the sandwich.
And he went,
no, I'm not doing that.
Hey, I have,
whoa, that's a suggestion for me.
I have a suggestion for you.
Fuck off.
Hey, mind your own business. How about that? a suggestion for me. I have a suggestion for you. Fuck off. Hey, mind your own business.
How about that?
I'll buy whatever I want.
None of your business.
You want me to write about the chicken?
That's none of your business.
Mind your own business.
Gary, we both work for Arby's.
Ah, fuck you.
Are you excited about the new crispy chicken Diablo dare sandwich?
Hey, hey, back off.
Mind your own business.
It doesn't matter what I'm excited about.
All right, let's see what the first question says.
Oh, 20 questions over here.
I'm excited.
Am I going to trial your honor? Oh, Mr. Law questions over here. I'm excited. Am I going to trial your honor?
Oh, Mr. Lawyer over here.
I played the fifth.
Getting a little too Brooklyn.
You got to do Dan Aykroyd and Tommy Boy.
Oh, that's right.
We got to go back to Chicago.
I'm not doing, I'm not attempting.
Chicago.
Okay, that's just, that's the accent I have to fake that I used to have.
It's not good. He's just slipping back into it when he asks if it's 20 questions. I'm fake that I used to have. It's not good.
He's just slipping back into it when he asks if it's 20 questions.
I'm doing a bad impression of myself.
All right, press material.
Quote, we Diablo dare you to try this new sandwich, said Patrick Schwing, chief marketing officer of Arby's.
Saw that coming.
Would have been disappointed if you didn't do it.
This is not a sandwich for the faint of heart everyone in qsr says that they have a spicy option but our research tells us that consumers
are disappointed by fast food claims of spicy he does have a point there i'm we we have been
those consumers that That's true.
Looking,
looking at those tiny tacos.
Classically what I go to QSR,
I go to QSRs and they do not give as a consumer.
I want spicier.
Good thing.
What kind of research did they do?
Listen to this podcast.
Absolutely.
That's what they're hoping for the 28 again. Uh,
disappointed by food. Uh, fast food claims of spicy.
We took that as a challenge by making sure all different types of spicy,
the hot, the numbing, and the lingering,
are combined to make the Diablo dare a true test of how much heat you can handle.
Arby's is setting a new standard of spice.
When we say it, we mean it.
Man, this guy, I feel like...
It's aggressive.
Yeah, he's just like, this sandwich is going to fuck you up.
Then he spit at the person he was interviewing.
He said, get the fuck out of my office.
No more questions.
20 questions.
We're done here.
Then the person was escorted from the building.
They take him to the back and beat for asking what this was take them into the basement the guy wanted to ask what the fuck
qsr means but didn't have the chance everyone in the qsr game saying it but we're doing the only
like restaurant or like company using this term and it's like ingrained in the culture everyone's saying it
i'll be honest we've never heard it before yeah who who has and we have a podcast about fast i
know like quick dining or whatever at like disney like that's a type of like at disneyland that's a
type of restaurant you can go to versus like a sit down. But I've never heard QSR as the acronym.
I mean,
you know what it is.
The second you see it,
but it's interesting.
You go,
I guess,
I guess fast food is like,
no,
we're classier than that.
No,
you're not.
That's what you are.
No,
you're definitely not.
Wendy's should be using this term.
Why are you changing the name?
It doesn't,
everyone's got to do it or it doesn't make sense.
Okay.
You can't be the only one.
Arby's keeps looking by Arby's keeps looking behind them going, come on, guys.
Let's do it.
And then no one else.
QSR.
And everyone's just like, we're right behind you.
They're chanting QSR.
So I looked up.
I just searched QSR.
There's a QSR magazine, which is a quick service and fast casual restaurant magazine.
Can you subscribe us to that magazine the five times week the five
times weekly e-newsletter it's like the daily variety of fast food restaurants yep uh qsr is
apparently a a term an industry used often and you know you gotta be in the industry yeah you
gotta be in that's probably it's probably i guess that's what it is. And it's just like. Layman's wouldn't know it, I guess.
Yeah, it's like, why?
But just don't use it.
Just let it be an industry term.
It's just weird to use.
Well, it makes them seem a little bit smarter, though.
Like in the press material, someone goes, oh.
This Patrick Schwing guy, he knows what he's talking about.
Schwing.
Yeah.
Well, that's Arby's.
Was it spicier than most restaurants claim to be?
Are you asking me or are you?
Yeah.
Was that rhetorical?
It sounded like you were teeing yourself up.
The next part is review the food.
Does anyone want to tackle that question?
But you go first though.
That's why I was confused.
All right.
Okay.
Michael, you ask me and then I'll answer.
But Jordan, let me ask you.
Was it whatever you just said?
Spicy.
Is it spicier?
Hey, mind your own business.
You want to know if I liked it?
Then the other fast food.
Get out of my face.
Then the other QSRs have claimed.
Jordan, compare this to other QSR spice.
On your level of disappointment, where does it lie on spiciness well there's no like red tiny
taco i can tell you that yeah like so nothing will be that bad yeah what i gotta say i was a
little nervous when i saw how red those buns were and i was like oh no it's tiny tacos all over
again yeah yeah it's like they had some sort of rash they needed to go see the dentist or doctor
for. Right, both.
My ass is so
red. My cheeks and my buns are so
red I have to go to the dentist.
Am I teething?
No, your other cheeks.
The fuck?
Open wide.
your other cheeks the fuck open wide i'm by uh so the question the question at hand is it hot it was spicy you guys it was actually
spicy was it too spicy for you it was not too spicy for me i i didn't eat because we got both of them i didn't eat all of it but um
i wasn't dying eating it but i was like this has got a kick like to mr schwing's point it's the
spiciest qsr food item me as a consumer has ever ingested and so i gotta hand it to them on that
front jordan i think i have to agree with you. Whoa, look at us.
For the number of fast food, and this again, this is talking about like generic QSR.
Don't tell me what's spicier.
I don't care.
Send it to Eric.
Tell him what's spicier.
I know you're already thinking about it.
Of everything, as I bit into it, I was like, of everything we've reviewed, this is probably the spiciest thing we've ever eaten.
Yes.
Michael texted me.
I texted you because I went, oh, this is pretty spicy.
I don't know if Jordan will be able to handle this because he's a self-proclaimed spice
mouse.
It's true.
And so honestly, I thought you might have, I thought you might have problems with this
one.
This one seemed higher than mouse territory to me.
I thought you would have, you would struggle a bit.
I think if I was eating a whole, a whole one of these, it would be.
Maybe that's it.
You backed off.
Yeah, I would have to slow down.
I'll say it was mostly.
My nose was running.
It was the sauce, not the chicken or the food itself.
The sauce was fucking spicy.
And they lathered it on.
They lathered it on for sure.
It was the kind of spice I can handle too.
It wasn't like the one.
It wasn't like too spicy.
It was just spicy enough.
And it wasn't that powdery spice that goes straight to the back of your throat and makes you cough.
Yeah, it didn't linger forever too.
You could get rid of it.
If you took a break, if you had some of the optional shake or some of the curly fries, it would dissipate.
And then you could go back in.
I don't know that I required the optional shake.
I couldn't drink it anyway. I had a broken
straw.
I've heard.
If I had known about the
TikTok challenge, I could have
passed it.
You'd be rolling in
talk bucks right now.
We had done this before
like the spicy
nuggets from Burger King that was the birth
of Spice Mouse, Spice Rat,
this would be,
this would have me being like
this is for Spice Rats only.
I can't handle this.
We've eaten a lot of spicy foods.
I would certainly not recommend this to someone
who doesn't like spice.
Like it's, if you're like, I could do a little bit,
this is going to be too hot for you.
I agree with that.
If you're feeling, if you're feeling brave,
you might be able to handle it.
I mean, it's not like the worst thing in the world,
but I'm just saying if you, if you're flat out,
like I don't eat spicy food, this is going to be way too hot for you.
Like there's a lot of spicy food that I would be like, yeah, it's fine.
You can eat it.
Even if you don't like spicy food, it's not that spicy.
It's fine.
The spicy chicken sandwich from any restaurant you can eat.
You can't eat this.
I would not recommend this.
It's quite spicy if you are not prepared for it.
And look at Nick.
He's rubbing his hands together.
He can't wait to make his wife go get him the sandwich. Because he's not getting it. And look at Nick. He's rubbing his hands together. He can't wait to make his wife go get him.
He can't wait because he's not getting it.
He can't wait to
eat too much and feel regret.
Oh no.
Why did I eat all of both of them?
Why did I get two?
The fact of it being Arby's, right?
Not just the chicken and the spice, but also
if you go the brisket route, I can really
see this one tearing up your tummy and your bowels
on the way out. I've got a hot stomach.
I have a hot stomach right now.
There could be some hot squirts.
You're already dealing
with the low quality food of Arby's.
Yes. And then you're just adding
how many different types of spice
did it list? This could be a recipe
for disaster. This could be a real spice
blend coming out. It's a lot. Not to mention it could be a recipe for disaster. This could be a real spice blend coming out.
It's a lot.
Not to mention, it could be a different color because of that red button.
So don't be alarmed if it's like a little purple.
You've got blackness coming out of you.
Like it's just squirting.
It's like an evil, like a darkness.
If it looks like a symbiote, you might be in trouble.
Yeah.
If it comes out and it's hot, that's fine. But if you hear it hissing or slithering, you might be in trouble yeah if it comes out and it's hot that's fine but if you hear it hissing
or slithering you might be in trouble if it starts saying we and you're just like oh no if it sounds
like a slow leak like from an oxygen tank you could be in trouble could be a spirit or something
demonic be careful so jordan what do you think um on the whole the they were actually pretty good
you know spice levels were impressive.
I got to hand it to them there.
The crispy chicken one was pretty good.
I liked how crispy it was.
I couldn't really tell which one was more spicy one way or the other.
That's one thing I was trying to suss out.
The brisket was fine.
I would say go for the chicken one like you can't
go wrong with that one yeah um also looked surprisingly appetizing like very good presentation
uh had like the the chicken patty and then the the melted pepper jack on top of it and then like
the spices uh the little pepper spices they put on it look really good and um i i didn't hate it it's
not a 28 mostly because it's not it's not fish so that helped a lot uh it's not fish and cheese
yeah um i'm gonna give it a i'm gonna give it a 65 wow okay cool yeah nick is nick just fucking
flipped he threw his hands up like a touchdown was just scored. He's so excited.
He's clapping like UT scored.
Dude.
Michael, what do you think?
I pretty much agree with Jordan.
It was actually a pretty well put together sandwich.
I would say the only thing is like one,
and this was probably just like the person who made it,
not particularly the sandwich itself, because it was more so the chicken one than the brisket one for whatever reason
it was just a fucking mess like they put
too much sauce on it like
my hands were dripping with sauce which I
think is kind of unnecessary
but whatever I had a
napkin handy but
it's good it was good
I would definitely say the
chicken as well and now especially
for us, right?
Because we're in Austin, Texas.
There's brisket out the ass here.
This is some real mid to low quality brisket.
This is QSR brisket.
Well, exactly.
Which isn't really a slight against Arby's brisket.
Because if you're not in Austin, Texas, where the fuck are you going to get brisket?
Where are you getting brisket in New Jersey?
Nowhere. You're going to Arby's, right? So for here, it was pretty low quality brisket, but I do have to take that with a grain of salt going. We have like the best brisket on
the planet here. And so I'm very acclimated to that. Um, the, uh, the, the sauce on the brisket
one was actually a nice balance cause it was, it was spicy, but also sweet. Yeah. There's like a lot of sweetness to that. It was actually a nice little because it was it was spicy but also sweet yeah there's
like a lot of sweetness to that there's actually a nice little contrast of flavors going on there
and i was like dang arby's i tempered myself going into their brisket knowing i was like there's no
way this is going to be like boston like texas brisket and i and i went it's okay it's fine okay
um but i can't really hold that too much against them because that's just kind of specifically,
uh, unique to us.
Uh, but the sandwich was good.
Uh, the chicken, it was really good.
It was a good sandwich.
And if you, if you're looking for a spicy sandwich, it definitely delivers, right?
If you're talking about fast food spice, this is like as hot as you're going to get, right?
If you're not talking like a real restaurant, like going to
an Indian restaurant or something where you want to
melt your skull off,
this is about as spicy as it gets
if you're talking QSR standards.
Classic QSR stuff.
Any spicier than this and you've got to
sign a waiver. Also not
rating at all, but the curly fries, delicious.
I think their curly
fries are so good there. They're excellent. It's probably the best thing
at Arby's. Did you get one of those 38
inches? No, but I made my own.
I tied them together, but I don't think that
counts for the record.
You know, a little bit fucked up that
they don't advertise it, and you have to ask about the optional
shake.
But for their big thing being
spice, spice, spice, they actually did
deliver, I'm going to say good job. I'm going to give them an 80. Wow. But for their big thing being spice, spice, spice, they actually did deliver.
I'm going to say good job.
I'm going to give them an 80.
Wow.
It was good.
I sit here thinking like it's Arby's.
Slam them.
But I just can't.
It was, they delivered.
It was a good spicy sandwich.
I definitely knocked points off because I didn't like the brisket one as much. I think mine would have been up close to that
if we just had the chicken.
But, you know, somebody insisted we get both.
Well, here's the thing, and that makes sense.
I would have given it a 70, and then you gave it a 65,
and I went, oh, I got to go higher.
That's crazy.
It's all priced in.
Right, I was expecting you to come in around a 50-55,
and so I thought a 70.
When you went 65, I went, oh, it's even better than I thought. And so I bumped it up
to 80. 72.5
is the average. Honestly,
it's pretty good.
I definitely think that
if you're around in Arby's and
you want to try something that's really
like spicier than you
would get at any other, like we were saying,
QSR restaurant.
Everybody's saying it. We're classically saying
QSR. You don't have to say restaurant at the end of
QSR. That's right. It's like ATM machine.
I definitely think the
chicken is worth your time. The brisket
is fine if you
want to try it.
The chicken is more dynamic. If you're in a place
that you can't get brisket,
it's probably better than we're giving it credit. I think the chicken is more dynamic if you're in a place that you can't get brisket yeah it's probably better than we're giving it credit but i i just i think the chicken is like superior we're coastal
elites living in austin so you know what i mean it's true i i take my franklin barbecue with my
avocado toast bitch that's pretty good uh while i listen to npr
see i was making a joke. You weren't.
Yeah, that's true. I've been in your car.
When you're not listening to the
first song from Crash Bandicoot
1, you're listening to NPR.
It's just those two.
Those two things on loop.
Back and forth. Did you guys get
serpsides? I didn't get shit.
My Serp side was a 40-minute wait.
I mean, I don't like the...
Well, okay, review your 40-minute wait.
I didn't like it.
Oh, okay.
10.
It's probably full.
This is probably awful by now
because it's all wet on the clear lid.
It's mac and cheese.
See, you know what?
After I ordered, I was driving up because I was so laser-focused on just getting this because it wasn't on the clear lid. It's mac and cheese. See, you know what? After I ordered,
I was driving off because I was so laser focused
on just getting this
because it wasn't on the menu.
I went, oh, they have mac and cheese?
I didn't see it until after I had ordered.
And I'm sure...
You guys realize that we've had this before, right?
No, not at all.
I'm sure it's not good.
I'm sure it's fine.
Is this what we had two years ago?
Is this the white cheddar mac and cheese, Jordan?
I don't fucking know.
Yeah.
The white cheddar mac and cheese that we got when we ate the fish sandwich? Unlikely. this the white cheddar mac and cheese, Jordan? I don't fucking know. Yeah. The white cheddar mac and cheese
that we got when we ate
the fish sandwich?
Unlikely.
Did we rate the mac and cheese?
Probably not.
I mean, honestly, to me,
we rated Arby's.
Were we doing syrup sides yet, though?
No, no, we got it
because it was just another thing
that we got
because you guys,
I think we were there
and you all yelled at me
that we had to get
the mac and cheese.
Because you always get mac and cheese. And we're getting two thumbs up from Nick. You see mac and me that we had to get the mac and cheese. Because you always get mac and cheese.
And we're getting two thumbs up from Nick.
You see mac and cheese, dude.
You always get mac and cheese.
There you go.
You see mac and cheese.
That was my thought process.
I saw mac and cheese.
I said, okay, I get mac and cheese.
And what do you think of it?
It's a 28.
There you go.
Wow.
That's 28 and a 10.
28 for the mac and cheese, 10 for the 40-minute wait in the drive-thru.
What was the
average score of the restaurant again for this one 72.5 i was gonna say that like similar to how like
a uh a 28 in early 2020 is like a a modern day you know 15 12 yeah i mean look how close we were. We're on the same page. A 2022 72.5 is like a 2020 90.
It really is.
There's like a scale for the years now.
Two years ago, we would have said this is the best thing we've ever eaten.
Yeah.
Jordan would have given it a 95 just because he can't unequivocally give it a 100 because he doesn't know
if it's a 100 or not.
He'll say, I'll give it a 95
and on my deathbed, if I've never
eaten anything better, I will retroactively
give it a 100, but I cannot make that claim
until the end of my life. That's what he would
have said. Oh my god.

snacks, you can. Send us snacks

And I think that's it from all of
our stuff. Jordan, any final thoughts? You know what I was gonna say?
What's that, Michael? What I
I feel like doesn't
get enough traction.
I don't think enough people know about our post show.
Because I think it's just like
I was thinking about it today
going, I think it's really good
and I don't understand why I don't see more people talking about
it.
I'm not sure I know what you're talking
about, Michael. I'm talking about the post show, One Last Bite.
There's funny shit
on there. If you're the people that go, I like
the ads, they have jokes in the ads. You are missing out if you're the people that go i like the ads they have jokes in the ads
you are missing out if you're not listening to one last bite it's all the best parts of the ad
well there was that whole thing with with like the monkey and the flamingos and like who had
stronger legs because we were like well the well the monkeys are stronger but the flamingos are
longer but they're thin i don't know It's just something I wanted to point out.
If you can't find it, make sure you tweet it, Eric,
asking if it's gone up yet.
Don't tweet at me.
One last bite.
Am I crazy or have they not posted one last bite yet?
All right.
That's enough.
I don't do anything beyond this, okay? You're lucky I'm even here.
Don't ask me how it went.
You know what?
It's too personal.
I'm also looking forward to all the love we're gonna get for the post show now like every comments and posts are gonna come out the
wazoo being like hey not good they don't get enough credit for this and then you know they're
gonna talk about a i don't i'll be honest a well-loved and hilarious moment i don't get enough
credit for everything.
And I feel like all around we could get a little bit more credit.
Yeah.
I agree.
Nick's giving a thumbs up.
Yeah.
I agree.
Or Nick's going to give him the old.
No, don't threaten them.
It's not a threat.
