Welcome to 100% Eat, the show where we try to film a goddamn podcast to let you know if you need it. Sometimes you don't. I'm your host, Michael Jones, alongside my cohost Jordan Sweers. Jordan, how are you? Sometimes you don't need the podcast that we're filming. Yeah. Yeah. No.

I mean, sometimes Nick, he tries to do us a favor, makes things a little harder and then gets mad and starts it early. and then you're like Okay, I'll start it and then he goes no. Yeah. Are we starting if you want? Okay, okay You're welcome Yeah, he's helping all right um Hey good food today

maybe Today we're reviewing them Nando's chicken and holiday peri stuffing. Oh, I didn't eat that we didn't have it Yeah, I was like I was like we either got to get that did not forget. He said it well I didn't care anyway. Yep. So yeah, no the holiday Nando stuffing was just definitely a thin veil to get us there But we were hey it worked. Yeah. It worked and it is Christmas Eve. I was just talking about going there. Oh, it is Christmas Eve. Not today, not tonight.

And we're wearing our matching polos to celebrate. Yeah, that's right. Wow. Christmas colors, red and different red. Darker red. Three button Henley, no collar. Oh. It's like a polo.

It's like a polo, but a little less douchey. A little more cash. A little cash. Although this guy is like not only douchey-er, but like looks like he works at Pizza Hut That color red really does look good It's a little Pizza Hut right there It's not really Target. No, but it is Pizza Hut. It is. It's close. Hmm. It's good though. Makes Jordans look good. Yeah I'm just like, nice shirt Makes Jordans look good. Yeah. I'm just like, nice shirt.

Like a bike in my pants. Oh my God. But everyone looks good next to Nick in public. So it's fine. When he comes over and he goes, we got the sauce. And there's six, three foot bottles of sauces. And they sat down with like, I was at four full size bottles

and then like a half size bottle. And Nick's like, we couldn't get all of them. But like, you know, we'll settle for this. And I was like, it really looks like you got all of them. There was some strategy involved because I offered to go with Nick because he was excited because it's really like a very self-serve restaurant.

It's like, you go up and you get your sauces, you bring back to your table. Which I'm fine with. I'm fine with it because it's a very clear line get it yourself yes do it yourself the problem is there's one part that's not self and they have to do it and it's sit get you and sit in my seat yeah and then you could tell they're very self-serve yeah because it was like the woman opening the door outside was like, where are you? That was like the weirdest part.

She was also mad. Yeah. She was doing Eric hands. She was because the jazz. It was like, we like checked in outside and then she kind of opens the door and it's like, yo, seat these people. Yeah.

And she was standing in the door. So Eric was holding the door and Eric turned around and looked at me maybe five times. Did you see how it happened? She opened the door, I held the door, and she went, hey, Monique, can you seat them? And the woman looked at her and went, yeah. And then walked two steps up and then just turned

and started talking to another table. Again, they don't wait on anyone there. She didn't have anything to bring them. At the time I went, oh, she's waiting on this table. When it was over, I went, there's nothing to do. You don't have anything to bring them. At the time I went, oh she's waiting on this table. When it was over I went, there's nothing to do. You don't do anything. She was hanging out. I think we were the victim of some like inner office drama. Kind of like an inside outside versus situation. Someone else ended up seating us, not that woman. Front of house and wait staff. That was about the only thing that you like interacted

with them with and it sucked. It was like, let us sit down now. I just want to be inside and order food. Also, I don't know if you guys looked around when this happened, not really a lot of other people grabbing full bottles of the sauces. What are you talking about? No, I didn't see anyone doing it, let alone

there was another table that did it. How many? I looked around and found two tables that had done it with five bottles a bottle no because When you're a man we do we couldn't get all of them I think I think the problem is they do know what they're doing because when you're a Nando's reg You probably just know what you're gonna get and you go get it. Yeah, but here's the problem though Do you think if he becomes a Nando's reg that's gonna change? Regularly grab more

It's a sampler they have so many bottles they do it they do and they also have little cups like ramekin cups Yeah, like you could pour it in and then take a cup back. Just saying they do have that but why do that when you can Take the bottle. Yeah, and it is again very self-serve Yeah, I'll just take all the self-serve sauce, and then I'll and then and then if someone else wants it The are shells and shells of bottles yes, there's arbiter of what sauce everyone gets Jordan. I are right Jordan is not really making a point. He's like somewhat defending you. And he's not really agreeing with you. He's saying it was insane, but at least there were some left for other people. But also he pointed out no one else was doing what you did.

I went with Nick so I could encourage him. Yeah, exactly. That's exactly, not because you thought he was right, cause you wanted to see what would happen. And then also, now thinking about it, everything's self-serve. We got up, me and Michael were like, oh we'll get water. Like we'll just, we'll get water. They have like a, like a carafe thing or whatever.

Yeah. And when we were going, Nick's like, I'll come too! And it was like, hmm, looking at it? I don't think Nick wanted water. I think Nick wanted to grab the other sauce. I also don't know what held him up, but he didn't come and I was okay with that. I told him we got it. He went, I'll come too! And then he didn't come. I said, we got it. It's good.

You just needed a little alone time from the kids. with that. Oh, I told him we got it. He went, I'll come too. And then he didn't come. I said, we got it. It's good. He just needed a little alone time from the kid. We need to come. I'll come too, dad. No, you stay here. You're good, buddy. You stay here with Jordan. Drink your drink.

I'm gonna get water. Drink your drink. Drink your drink. But not too much. Yep. Yeah, yes you did. He insisted on Jerry. I did insist on getting Nick an alcoholic beverage.

Is it peach? Peach lemonade? Peach mango. Peach mango, poncha? Yeah. Something like that? I don't know, but it was good. It was thick. It was really thick, like a puree almost.

It was really nice. It was very tasty. Very good. Like I kind of fell off on peach flavoring, but that was like, this is a peach. Oh, that was just peach. It was like, this is a peach and a mango. And just peach. It was like, this is a peach and a mango, and it's very good.

You, so we all kind of got, we got mostly like the same thing. You got the burger, we got the chicken, whatever. You got like a totally different flavor on the chicken. I didn't know, I didn't even really look at like what they offered, because I knew hot, like I just saw hot and my mouth is watering thinking about it.

I didn't know yet how hot this place would be. So I just got medium in case hot was really hot. Like a real hot. In hindsight, when you remember it's a British restaurant. And I think I could have handled the hot, but the medium was hotter than I thought it would be. Yeah. Oh, really? Oh, wow.

It wasn't like this too hot. It was like, this is kind of why I didn't get hot. Like hot could have been like, fuck. Me, Nick. Now I'm sweating instead of going, hmm. The mild ones come with like Flavorings there's labeled. There's like a mild and then like a mild with garlic and a mild with like lemon

Whatever like yeah, they're going lime is what I got there, and I think it's what I got last time I went to Nando's yeah, that was Six years ago, so I don't really remember the hot but that was six years ago. So I don't really remember. The hot has heat, but it's not crazy. It just dissipates so fast. Me and Nick were eating like the extra hot, whatever like the little bottle was. And that was just like more pepper.

It just, it was not on a scale of like what I usually eat for like, oh my God, this is hot. Especially here, like in Austin, it's not like everything's hot, but we have like tumble usually eat for like, oh my God, this is hot, especially here, like in Austin, it's not like everything's hot, but we have like tumble 22 where there is, they're like Nashville hot. Like fucking crazy. And that is a lingering heat.

Yeah. This is not that. This go, I don't even taste like I had anything hot to eat today. Yes, yes. Like nothing hangs out. I do too, but like for me as a spice mouse, it's perfect for me where it's like, oh, it's just a little bit of heat

and it's flavorful. Like the medium is as high as I went. It's not heat flavor. It's flavor flavor. No, no, you're totally right. Totally right. It's like good, I want more. Yeah, it's not like that fake heat kind of like,

oh, this is the only thing that I'm tasting. You taste the chicken and the chicken is wow. And in the opposite, which is good, I don't usually like get this, that drink lingered. Yeah, there was. It was like a minute later and I'm like, man, this is good, I'm just tasting the mango. You're still getting the flavor on your tongue.

Yeah, and I was like, dang, and it was all mango, not alcohol. I was like, I didn't taste any alcohol. We sat down and you were like, I want any drinks, and I was like, I'll just get water, and then you were going through the order and I was looking at it and I was like, oh, is anyone getting a drink drink? And you were like, I'm good. And you were like, eh want any drinks. And I was like, I'll just get water. And then you were going through the order and I was looking at it and I was like, oh, is anyone getting like a drink drink?

And you were like, I'm good. And you're like, eh, it's too early. And you were like, oh, it's not too early. I just don't want it. I've been drinking so much. And I was just staring at Nick. It was like a weird distinction. I'm staring at Nick and he's staring at me.

He's like, what? I'm like, I'm waiting for you to answer. You both said no and he said nothing. And he was like, oh, no, no. And I was like, okay. I, okay, I was like I'm not gonna get I'm gonna be the only one drinking and then I went Now you're getting one get two of these and he was like, oh well if I have to He was also very mindful of how much caffeine he had today cuz he made me and Jordan drink Not like a ton of it or whatever. But it was like a little please get this away from me So I don't know. I don't leave this gone like this.

It was really good. It was really good. If I go again, well, when I go again, it will, I'll definitely end up probably getting that drink or try a different one, because I was really impressed with that. I was impressed with everything. But again, everything there, we talked about. No, it was the best part.

We talked about how self-serve it was in everything. Their soda thing is just a fountain in the back and their water thing is like a craft, fill it up, whatever. They don't even bring you like silverware. It's all in the, just eat with your hands if you want to, you little freak. I've been to Nando's one other time and I don't remember it being that self-service.

Me neither. I kind of appreciate it though again because like every place in Austin, especially has like drink cups, like water cups water cups everywhere sometimes gotta ask for them sometimes They're sitting out they had the big carafe for water and also actual glasses. That's a good idea And I was like in the car. Yeah, bring back to the table great. I love the carafe Yeah, I think that's great because the the glasses aren't they're not big if you're gonna get like glasses Give me give me something I can set up shop

They're not big if you're gonna get like glasses give me give me something I can set up shop Because then they also have the actual water thing. That's not just attached to the soda machine. Yes. It's like a separate spout right so you're not getting This like other shit and also it's usually colder Yeah, and it was it was nice, and then we filled up the glasses with free water and then came back with the craft This reminds me I saw a tick tock where somebody was doing a get him in now Coke freestyle machine and You could see the soda coming out, and it's like the brown Coca-Cola color and then the the soda color basically the carbonated water part and they've like positioned their cup to only get the proud part they're

Gonna water down my drink. Oh my god. I'm like no no you idiot Yeah, what's a five guys I just had like syrup Yeah, I want this it tastes like McDonald's but crazy whoa, I Was impressed by how easy it was to get sat at the new place that I- I think we let it linger a while. I feel like the hype is probably normalized

for Tuesday at noon. Yeah, it's in Mueller, which is like, you know, there's a living, working sort of area around there and everything. It's a happening spot where people live and walk through, and then also people will drive into it. It's usually pretty active. Yes, and on the weekends,

I bet that place goes crazy, you know, whatever. But it was very easy to get sat there. That's why I think I'll go back because it was so easy to kind of get in, get out, whatever. But I wonder if that is a like lunch spot, like work lunch spot. Cause like sweet green and stuff is right there too. And that to me is a, I work an office job.

I must eat my bowl of greens and quinoa and then go back to my office job. Is Nando's that? Nando's isn't that right? Nando's is a little, I mean, I say it's like heavier than that, but it could be if you get enough food. My little sandwich wasn't that heavy. It was like perfect size.

My half chicken, like I was hungry for more. Oh, dude, it was. I could have gotten more for sure. And it's not even like, man, I'm really hungry. I wanted to keep tasting it. Yes, that's what it was. It tastes so good. More taste.

I just wanted to keep tasting it. I was very surprised by how much I liked the flavor of it. But like. So you said it was really easy getting in and out. How was the parking garage? Great, once I still don't have the app. Also, hey, scanned the free hour, didn't work. So, were you gonna get a bill in the mail or what?

No, I had to like sign up through the thing on my phone, but not get the app because it wouldn't connect me, even though I had wifi, to the app store, to download the app, to get everything figured out. So now it's just worse. It's funny, like Michael and I were singing the praises of the new system.

I pulled into the parking lot. I got an alert on my phone that wasn't a text message. It was like, yeah, it was like a push notification. It's like, you're in this parking garage. This is the car you're driving. This is your license plate. This is how it works now. You either pay through scanning or if wherever you go,

there's a QR code and they'll validate. I was like, that's convenient. Went to the movies, scanned it. It's like, it's free. And I left. And then we're like, this is so easy. And he's going, I got on the internet. I don't have reception.

I'm off the grid. I don't have reception in that part of Mueller for whatever reason. He wasn't screaming, but he was like, hmm, yeah, this is annoying. Yeah, he was screaming on the inside. Oh yeah. When you don't have reception like, hmm, yeah, this is annoying. Yeah, he was screaming on the inside. It just, oh yeah. Hmm.

When I don't, when you don't have reception and the thing is based on your phone, it's just like, I'll throw this in the trash. I just, I'll lay down $5 and I'll just leave. You're gonna throw the phone in the trash? Yeah, oh yeah. That seems like it's gonna cause way more problems. I hope one day to get so rich that- You could snap a phone or throw a phone.

And immediately I open whatever, like center console in my car, and there's just another one ready, and I turn it on, it's ready to go. No, it doesn't have to be ready though, it needs to be in a box still, because that's like, it's super new. That'll be pretty sad.

You know what I mean? No, I just, I want it. Like, I don't want to have it like, oh, it's my backup phone. Oh no. I want to actually be like, this is a brand new phone and take it out of the wrapping. But then I have to like, download all the stuff. Then you hand it to your the wrapping. That's status. But then I have to download all the stuff.

Then you hand it to your assistant and have them do it. See, that's good. I hadn't thought about that. I'm just thinking about when I'm on the freeway. No, you smash it and you put your hand out and then they hand you a brand new phone. That's it, that's it. I want to be driving in my car,

something happens with the GPS, it disconnects from my car. I'm trying to do it while I'm driving and it's like, this is hell. And I just throw it out the window and then I go, yes, that's it, that's how rich I wanna be. I could see that happening in entourage. When, yeah, right?

Yeah, oh yeah. He gets off the phone and he's just like, errr, throws it and then his little assistant guy's like, here you go, off it's turtle. When you're driving and Nick goes, your assistant should start taking out of the box and setting it up, knowing you're about to smash your phone

Into Nick said it was one time this time this time It's been one time. No every time it does happen a lot. We do There's a reason why we talk about it every episode talking about it a lot should we talk about not just this Nand opinions, but uh preconceived Nand opinions I've never had it didn't know what food it was and I was not you didn't even know it was chicken I didn't know it was chicken. I knew I knew the Nando's Experience chicken. Yes, I was like stuff It's a thing and you go and you have a bite with some mates and you get bed and it's this and that it's like I know what it is. Yeah, I had no idea what food it is

No idea. I've been I think never looked at didn't matter. What did weren't any here Why would I look at but I don't care? I think it was the same thing where it was like all I know is cheeky Nando's and there's one here Let's go check it out. It's like oh, it's chicken. Yeah, I had that reaction. I think yesterday or this morning It was at the oh, really? Yeah. Oh wow okay. It was for RTX London Yeah, and that's where like the party was and we were leaving It was like a bowling alley bar combination thing. It was one of the first times I hung out with this Yeah, probably fooled you. Yeah, he did

All of us did all of us had so much to drink. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. But yeah, so I went to Nando's there, because it was on the way out. Yeah. The O2 is so crazy. It's a big inflated dome thing.

And then inside is a city, basically, of entertainment. And some of them are restaurants, like at Nando's, and bowling alley places places slash bars where we went. And then you leave that building and you come out and you're in another building and then you leave that one here outside. Oh. Weird.

Then you get to the end of the set. It's kind of like an amusement park. I think there's like a music venue in there too, like an arena. Yeah. Yes, there is. Yeah. Yeah, there's a big arena in there. And there's a smaller one. Pretty sure U2 plays there.

Yeah, yeah. U2 and O2. I went to Anando's in London, and I remember it being like not super spicy, but like enjoying the flavor and having chicken and going like, oh, okay. Now you did say when we were there, you're like, I don't know if fries like chips

are the best side to have with this, but the British fucking love that shit. So that is what it is. Sight of chips, a chipay. Yeah, it really is like, their fries, like their chips are fine. They were good. I mean, I don't have anything against them.

But they're not the best thing with that chicken. I agree because I- I'd eat those fries again. Yeah. I wouldn't say they complimented the chicken. With the chicken burger maybe. I got the chicken burger and a little cup of mac and cheese. Yeah.

With breadcrumbs and it was pretty good. I wish I had had that mac and cheese. The mac and cheese would have been a better side than the fries would. Yeah. The mac and cheese also- I came out on top. Yep. The mac and cheese does its job

by not being the focused flavor-wise of that meal. It is so, just sort of like- It's not the best mac and cheese, but it's far above like standard- Oh yeah, your typical- Yeah, typical mac and cheese. Where you're like, either like, you're like, this noodle sucks, or this is like cheap cheese.

The whole thing is like, whoosh. It was like, oh, this is pretty good mac and cheese. Has like a little bit of like a chew, and it has the cheese, and it's got little crumbly things on top, and it's- Nick saw the- For me? The bowl? The cup? a chew and it has the cheese and it's got little crumbly things on top and it nicks all the the bowl cup the perinase sauce. Oh, yeah, Perry Perry sauce. Yeah screaming out of paranase. Yeah So many bottles again, they were this big and he's like thunk thunk thunk thunk we couldn't get them all and I went it looks like it looks like

most of them Yeah, but those ones were just hot So we skipped right ahead to extra extra. Yeah. Yeah You can get the perry sauce the Perry Perry sauce at Kroger Oh, you can get all the sauce there too as he saw in the window as he started screeching. Yeah so I mean there's no Kroger here in Austin as far as I can tell. Um I couldn't think of where one would be. He confirms he's going no no no no no no no no. They have they don't have Kroger out here they have Randalls. Randalls yep good old Randalls.

Although there was one on like 38th street. That's now gone. Oh really yeah It turned in it was replaced by an empty building Kind of business is that it was like it's not very good one. Yeah I think that empty building is about to go under We it's a company called for. Yeah, I don't know. I see them, they must have like a lot of businesses. I see them all over the place. When we were there, they did,

they just kind of like bring you your food or whatever. And then the manager came over and talked to us. She's like, oh, you guys been here? And we're like, no. And then she's like, do you like it? And we went, yeah. And she's like, okay. And then sort of left.

And then came back and she's like, well, if you guys really like it. And then she handed us this card that was like, how was it for back and she's like, well, if you guys really like it. And then she handed us this card that was like, how was it for you? She's like, you can review it and you could win one year free of Nando's. And Nick was in on it. Yeah, he kept Gracie style saying,

when we win the year free. Oh, when I become a doctor. Hey, you know what? I think Nick should scan the QR code and see if he wins a year. I don't think it tells you you've won. Yeah, I think it's like oh no. I want him to fill out the survey No, no, I'm just saying it's a later thing. Yeah, like we'll be one per month. Yeah, I want if we can get December, baby Remember I would hope for January right so we get the year. Yeah, we win. It's like you get four days Yeah, we win. It's like you get four days

It might that's why they're handing them out in December. Yeah, yeah worthless now do it idiot. He's doing it right now Yeah, I think it's a good idea to do it on the show. Yeah We're minutes in and we've been talking about the restaurant the whole time I know Should we talk about some some bullshit or something? Yeah, the fact or the facts. Yeah, oh, I thought that's what I thought you were like making like a dig at it Yeah, no, no, I mean you do it yourself. Yeah.

I was trying to... I figured I'm gonna be happy to be that woman. What do I do during my shift?

Well, you tell people it's self-serve and then you stand there. Hey, can you seat them? Yeah. Anyway. Founded in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1987, Nando's has over 1,200 locations in 30 countries. Honestly, pretty impressive for a nation of people

who have an accent no one in the rest of the world can understand. District 9 was pretty good though, like the parts we could decipher at least. Get out of here, f**king prunes! To understand! Crystal clear. That's exactly what they sound like. I met that guy. That's pretty good. Oh really? Oh you met Vickus VanderMeer?

Yeah, we did the... You know his whole name? We did the hardcore Henry, Alan mode. That's the good. Oh really? Oh you met Vickus VanderMeer? Yeah, we did uh we did that um you know his whole name We did the hardcore Henry Alamo That's the character's name Well yeah, no that's what I'm saying like you know the character's name from Just For Ice? Yeah, I didn't know that we did the hardcore Henry Alamo trailer I remember that yeah We filmed that yeah

Wait what? Rooster Teeth did the hardcore Henry Alamo Drafthouse trailer It was like the the first person thing where you're at the Alamo He comes into like a movie theater like be shit out of somebody Yeah, and like we were like it was a bunch of people in the audience like me and Barbara Oh, wow Barbara was like his girlfriend in the bit. She's she's like comes and gets him She's like there's a fucking asshole talking in the movies like oh, I love he's like taking a piss Oh, you're like busting like what accent was Barbara doing eyes what I just yeah

I thought maybe you're doing South African again, but I think that's what it was Okay, it was like New York. Have you seen fucking guy? Have you seen hardcore Henry? No. Yeah, is it like worth watching? Yeah, it was fun. Is it like a video game? It's just a parkour movie It's on like Amazon Prime or max or something. It was going past it to come back and not watch I haven't seen anything like a couple Lee in a while. Yeah, it was in Elysium Mm-hmm that was it they hired a ton of like really I guess talented like parkour people and then taught them how to be cameramen Because it's all filmed from like go pros. Yeah, that's instead of like teaching a camera guy to parkour Or they had like a honestly I think they did it the right instead of teaching astronauts had a drill Yeah, they taught

Yeah, caught run taught roughnecks how to drill yeah, they taught Taught roughnecks how to be astronaut. Yeah, I like that. I thought it was fun. It's just a video game movie Yeah, it's just like a first-person. Yeah, that sounds pretty cool I bet Kojima loves it. You can't watch it if you get motion sickness. I bet Kojima loves it I liked it. Well, just like Kojima. Are you in district 82? Michael Jonesman? Can't say anything. Hey, when's District 10 coming out? Can't say anything. When is District 10 coming out? He's a prawn now. I think, oh, he turns into them.

Christopher Johnson or whatever his name is said three years. Yeah. It's been longer than three years. I think, but I think it's just barely been longer than three years. I think he said three years after the next Game of Thrones book. Oh.

Fuck. Come on, George, what the hell? I think a Game of Thrones book came out after that movie came out. What the hell? I think a Game of Thrones book came out after that movie Okay, I just want to point out your South African accent was very good. It was just how you wrote it. Yeah I thought you did a very good job writing. It's like I didn't do an accent. I just read IPA like yeah They just they just read the sounds Thank you. Yeah in 2002 Australia was locking up refugees in detention camps, who then began to go on a hunger strike,

even going as far as to sew their mouths shut, like in The Matrix. Nando saw this as an opportunity and released an ad saying that with every Nando's quarter chicken combo, you get an extra quarter chicken free, which caused detained refugees to unsew their lips. Sixty nine people died. A bit of of cheeky Nando's lads. That is, they were detaining people. They went on a hunger strike. Nando's said, dude we're gonna make an ad and they made this. It was an ad going, you get a free quarter chicken when you buy a quarter chicken and that's gonna make people un-sow their mouths. So they said in the commercial, this will solve the problem.

In the commercial or just like- In the commercial they said it will solve the problem. Did it? Did it help? I think 69 people died. But did they die from un-sowing their mouths trying to get the chicken? No, I don't think so. Like too quickly un-sowing their mouths.

That's what I'm saying. Ah! Why? Why? Oh no, it's the 69th one. Nice. Jesus. We gotta go slow.

Go slow. But I want the Nando's. I need the Nando's. I want the Nando's. And then they, he does. Jesus Christ. Sorry. What?

What was going on with, why were they locking up refugees? I was after 9-11, who knows? You can kind of do anything. You'll see. Yeah, read the Patriot Act. He kept saying that. In the next couple years.

You should have seen this guy in 2003. He kept saying, oh, have you heard of 9-11? I can do anything. You can do anything. Hey, read the Patriot Act. Yeah, check it out. Australia just started doing stuff. Read the Patriot Act.

You thought the Patriot Act was crazy? Wait until a year or two from now. Oh, boy, Patriot Act, the sequel. It's going to be wild. Whoa, Patriot Act was crazy? Wait until a year or two from now. Oh boy Patriot Act the sequel. It's gonna be wild Whoa Patriot games too. Whoa, it's gonna be nuts Anyway next fact I'm ready to learn in April of this year a Nando's in Walsen branch in Tyneside Tinny side. It just says Tyneside. Tyneside. Okay. England doesn't make any fucking sense. Took down artwork of British soldiers holding guns, but they formed the shape of a swastika.

The one-of-a-kind artwork, which had been handing in the restaurant. Hanging. He put handing though. Yeah. Handing in the restaurant for ten years. I'm editing him in real time. Had received no complaints until someone finally really looked at it and went is there any particular reason this picture depicting British troops as a swastika flag is Hanging in your restaurant. He's hanging out then and Nando said artists subjective the subject Nazis cheeky cheeky Nando's Nando's had so many But it is you just showed it on screen and also it's weird that it's your background. I thought he was gonna pull a picture. Like why is your clock in front of it?

Can you believe, I mean that was 10 years, hanging for 10 years. And everyone just went, yes, great, great art. British, they interviewed a bunch of people of like, what do you think about this? Cause they took it down cause it looked like swastika. And someone went, it must really suck to be a soldier fight for this country.

And the depiction is that you're a Nazi on a flag hanging in a Nando's. It's not like it's difficult to avoid these things. No, it should be pretty easy not to make a swastika out of most things. Thinking, okay, put another one? No, you get close and you go, oh, careful. It's such a specific shape.

It's a very specific shape. You could have four guys with guns and not have it shaped like that. Pretty easily, I'd say. And in fact, you should have the four of us shaped like something cool, like a baseball diamond, and put us in Nando's. There you go.

See, that's a good idea. That's one of many shapes you could make with four things that isn't. And then, that's how I launched my baseball career. Oh. Because I say Nando's is a home run. Well, I think they're more into cricket, so I think they'd say like... Well, yeah, that's why they need to get into baseball. Nando's... Nando's... It's a new base, Jordan.

Nando's is a sixer. Hey, sports fans. Hey, sticky wicket. So... Nothing sticky about our chicken. So you're gonna... So someone takes the idea of the swastika soldiers. Well, just the soldiers. But then it keeps saying swastika. But then it's us. We got pretty clear.

Not in the shape of a swastika. In any way, he said the word again. I didn't say it once and it said diamond baseball. And he's bringing it back up. No, no, no. Sorry, caught him looking at his phone again. And then you are launching your baseball career. Well, I've already talked about how I'm going to do that.

Yes. Okay. Well, as soon as he goes through a baseball game that he actually watches and figures out how the sport works. I'll figure it out. I'll figure it out how it works after I hit the ball. You could figure it out then. Again, if I hit the ball, I just start walking.

Oh, on the line? Yeah, just follow the line. Got it. But don't go left first. Doing another baseball episode, like we're never going to, but doing another baseball episode would have to be so much easier

with the equipment that we have now. Oh dude, nobody would know we're doing a podcast. No dumb kids would come up to us. But then, every time I go there, I think about how I just walked in, the old men security guards were just sort of like talking in a corner and I blew right by them.

Nobody scanned our tickets or anything. Yeah, we just walked right in. During the like the kids day. That's fucking crazy. Anyway, I don't want to eat the Dell hot dog thing again. No, but we should go to a game. But we bring Nando's with us. Oh, cheeky Nando's.

It's not sneaking in anything. We just walk in holding it over our head Just want me to say what's that we go camera equipment? No? Whatever you do don't show me your tickets the bag the size of the size of the bag we had there's a backpack It was clear. Yeah, there's a clear bag with full of long way wires microphones and like the little, yeah, the Zoom recorder that they all plug into. And they were like, eh.

Nobody gave a shit, nobody looked at it. Baseball stuff! Baseball, see, this is why he's gonna be a baseball player. Da da da da da! I don't know why, but I listened to that episode a few months ago, and the part where there's a home run and there's fireworks going on. Oh yeah!

And it legitimately scares us, it's so funny. We're just so not paying attention to nothing. We're talking and then like, boom! Yeah. And we're like, oh my God, and it was a Grand Slam. Yes, yeah it was. It was, that was wild. Wild.

Almost as wild as when that- We should have been there. Imagine going to a baseball game when a Grand Slam happens and it's like, oh, I didn't see it. Yeah. Where were you? Oh, we were sitting on a rock or something. We were over in the corner. We were by the pool. Yeah We're hanging out on the benches. Yeah, we're our recorder podcast. What about the hot dog is grilled cheese The worst dude just so well one more fact one more fact my gosh in June of this year

Anandos in Perth, Australia was fined $160,000 for Food Act violations that included dead bugs on uncleaned floors, grease spilled onto surfaces and dead rats in the kitchen. The city found the restaurant to be so disgusting, they forced it to close in order to clean up and make changes before a city inspector finally came to give it a passing grade. So come on down to Perth where you can eat at the Ratnando's, which maybe is Perth's premier dining experience.

We didn't know anything about Perth. Like what's their food thing? Is it rats? Fooking rats! It's pretty- Fooking rats. See? This is pretty good.

It's good. It's- Australia doesn't even like Perth. Just talk like die ant Ward sings Perth is the Farthest city like it's on the other side of Australia. It's on the west side? It's the largest city on the west side.

And it's so far away from everything else. I think, you know, they kind of just probably assume they can get away with being a Ratnando. We can be a Ratnando, don't worry about it. No one will come in and check on us. Who cares? I do believe the antipode of Austin is somewhere in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

Oh really? But if you were to be on land, it would be Perth. And that's the furthest away you could be from Austin. Oh wow. Yeah. And that's where like RTX Australia was or something? No, that was. That was Sydney.

That was in Sydney. Oh okay. Which is a good city. Which is very popular and a lot of people. And that's on the East side, the East coast? Yes. Okay, so who goes to Perth? The people that are stuck there, that were born there.

Yeah, I believe the people who were born there. And if you ever go there for a convention, which I did once or twice, they go, oh my God, I can't believe you came here. No one comes here. No one cares about us. We don't care about us. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The furthest I got. Because Australians in general are like nicer anyway than Americans, at least like in my experience of conventions and then you get Perth, Australia No, like we're the worst My god you you why didn't you go to Sydney? Why don't you go to Sydney? Uh-huh? It's like I mean, that's what it's like. We're going can I take you to Ratnando? I would go the premier dining experience The furthest I went was Adelaide, which is kind of in the middle. Okay. Um, that's the furthest I've been away from

America, I guess is the weather in Perth kind of like the same as it isn't like Sydney and all that stuff Is it like I imagine? Yeah, I went for hot and dry. Yeah supernova. I think supernova Nova and who were the famous people that were also there. There was a bunch of famous people Yeah, I went with Mark and Alan Tudyk And who were the famous people that were also there there was a bunch of famous people People Famous people. Oh cool. I got to meet him. Oh, he was there too. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah We went to Sydney they had one one weekend and then the next weekend was Perth They always bundle them so they get people to come to both. We did Sydney and then

They always bundle them so that they get people that come to both. We did Sydney and then in the middle of the week, we went to Melbourne in the middle of the week, because it's like halfway there. And that was, we were there kind of like with Hannaby and they were in Melbourne. So then we hung out there for a couple of days and then went to Perth and then left.

And so it was like, it was like nine days or something. And it was like the most I've ever got to actually like not work on a work trip Oh, wow, because we had the whole week in between the conventions. Yeah, and so it was you know, Lindsey I went it was like right after we got Married it was like our oh, wow. Oh, that's really really cool. We didn't pay for it. I even better. Yeah, very cool How was the travel getting there? I mean, it sucked ass. Totally sucked. It's just far. It's just far.

Fucking Qantas Airlines is like one of the nicest airlines ever. It's like when like every seat is like first class level. First class obviously is way, way better. But like compared to like domestic flying, it was like, holy shit. I got room. And they have, I don't know if it's on every plane,

but they have like their like snack center. You could just go walk to, it's like self-serve. It's like a little kitchenette area. And you can just get drinks whenever you want. Cause there's like hundreds and hundreds of people on the plane. So I guess they're just like, just go get it. They only fly once a day.

Yeah, well it's just like, yeah, they don't have like 800 flight incidents. So they're just like, you could just go get like all the snacks, drinks, everything. You just go get it yourself and then sit down. It was awesome. I told the story before of when I went and the flight got delayed by like a day and that ate up into our time. So like instead of having an extra day to adjust and then do the convention,

I flew in landing, had like two hours and was like come on down and start signing. Yeah, it was pretty rough. We did that for one of the RTX Australia's, fighting didn't get delayed, but we flew in, it was like a day before the convention or whatever, but the day before the convention, we were shooting Immersion and we did, we were, we did, we did, oh dude, we did Blast of Us and it was shooting things while hanging upside down. So we flew to Australia, got off the plane,

went to the set and got hung upside down. Who's idea, who produced this? What I don't know it was fun though, but a guy was like So like that that first time I went's that first time I went get right that first time I went I went I went with Monty which was like I had to be the grown-up And wow and going through all that with Monty was quite an experience It was fun, but like a very unique experience and then the next year I got to go with Gus I was like, oh cool.

You get to be the kid. Gus gets to play in everything. And he's like, we're not gonna fly there direct. We're gonna go to day early. We're gonna fly to Melbourne cause I wanna fly on this new Dreamliner. Oh cool. And we're gonna spend some time there.

And also we're not gonna go on like the in-between activities that Supanova puts on for everyone. We're just gonna go to Wellington during the week and we're gonna hang out there. And we'll have a meetup so that we can put on the company's dollar. And I was like, Gus, you're genius. This is so cool. We gotta travel with Gus, damn.

Yeah, when Lindsay and I were there, I don't remember what city it was, I think it was Sydney, we did a booze cruise. That's like a meetup. That rocks. They sold tickets, it was like 150 yeah or something and it was just me and Lindsey on the boat drinking but again because it was awesome dude in America it would have been a nightmare because just like fans

are different here yeah it was like get on the boat you have nowhere to go you talked to people they'd be like oh cool whatever and I'm like oh I'm going over there now and they would go okay okay cool and just let you leave and talk to someone else it's like they knew how to like hang out and just chill it was fun The we did a bar crawl like a pub crawl with a fuck ton of people it was cool Yeah, when we were in Wellington we went to a Museum where like the mascot is like the giant squid and they sell a plush of it. Hey Thank you be clear a squid goes

But we saw this we saw this like big plush toy of a giant squid my wife really wanted it and We were like I don't know it's like it was expensive and also we had enough stuff Yeah, I was like it's like don't worry about it. But then at the meetup, somebody brought the plush for Gus to have. And Gus was like, cool, thanks. And Holly was like, if you don't want it, I'll take it. Oh, that's perfect. And he was like, here you go.

Here you go, Holly. And she was like, yes. Hell yeah. Damn. We saw Holly the other day. She brought us a Christmas gift. That's cool. Yeah, I see her most days. You do? That's cool, are you ready to- Dude, brought us a Christmas gift. Oh yeah. That's cool. Yeah, I see her most days.

You do? That's cool. Dude, that's gotta be awesome. Hell yeah. Yeah, well, I mean, she's not bringing like insulated bags of Katz's deli to me every day. So what's the point? I don't really understand.

I really like that relationship. Yeah. Really? I think it's working for us. What did you get? Did you get anything yet? Did you buy it yet? Hell no.

Damn. Jordan and Holly came in and they were like,, oh we got you this nice thoughtful gift. I looked at Eric and I was like, yeah, what did we get them, Eric? Michael was just like, and here it is, show them! Michael worked it for me, we have to figure out what to get this guy now. You guys laughed and I went, what a fucking asshole. What a fucking prick. I have it. I figured we started a company together. I should give you guys

I think that was really nice. I feel like now he's going Agree with you Yeah, you're about you're about to get a 12-pack of parase for 111 pack of paranase from Nick. He's gonna take one Well once he wins the year supply He'll just take Jordan. I mean I'll get to go with him. Yeah, I love the free Nando's Yeah, there you go. Jordan got us a pastrami and everything I haven't I haven't cooked a pastrami yet, but. Did you have the soup? No, not yet.

I'll do all at once. The turkey sandwiches with the bread and the mustard. Choice. Choice. I don't really love. I figured that mustard would be really good. I don't love a rye bread. That rye bread's nice.

That rye bread was not, didn't look at all what I was expecting. Nope, nope. And I was like, this must be like super legit then. It was like, they say like seedless rye bread or something like that. I really enjoyed it. It kind of just looked like sourdough.

It does look like sourdough. And then it tricks you when you take a bite and it tastes just like rye bread. You go, what the? But it's great, turkey sandwich and a bunch of, ooh, ooh, nice with that mustard and everything. I don't really love mustard, but I love a- That's a deli mustard.

It's a deli mustard. I like a brainy, stony, thick, big, like actual one. I figured Katz's would have good deli mustard. It's a deli mustard. I like a brainy, stony, thick, big, like actual one. I figured Katz's would have good deli mustard. The brown with black bits in it is the mustard I want. Yeah, I know you despise yellow mustard. I do. And I know you like the seeded one. That's what I want.

I want it to be like when we get like easy tiger mustard where it's like, this looks like a cup of rocks. Yeah, yeah, cup of rocks. Oh dude on rocks oh dude he's awake when we were at about you're watching Craven friend I haven't signed that we did if we did a football game and he just kept going football and I just do it all the time for new we were playing darts and has kept going football it's awesome we were watching Craven the hunter Michael and I sat next to each other we both, we both got pretzels. And you went through yours,

because I was open up the fries. You got fries first, yeah. So I ate my entire pretzel before you touched your pretzel. And then I was eating my pretzel, and I was just like, dipping in the cheese, doing the mustard sometimes. I think the cheese is better than the mustard

for that pretzel. But then I saw it. And you get a giant cup of cheese It's huge. Yeah, it's like a third of the size of the chips and queso. Yes Yeah, it's really bad as I was wrapping up enough I saw you going back for more you had no pretzel, but you were going back for the cheese Well, I was like I was picking at your fries You empty it and I like I put my empty plate and like put the cheese on it and you

picked it up and you go. I picked it up and I went, what's going on here? And it was like almost full and I showed him mine and it was like, you can see the scratch marks. He was clawed at it. And it was like, remember before we left I was like, my stomach! Oh god. And I was like to go like to I

Also said before before cuz you were eating the fries. I ate the pretzel I leaned over I was like if you don't want that pretzel He's like I want it. Just saying cuz it's sitting there. Yep by the time this episode's out There's a video out from that day where Jordan and Nick review Gummies just stay to the end of that one. Just watch that one. It's all the way. It is less than a minute.

Make sure you watch to the end. I feel like that series of videos crafts a narrative that you couldn't script. Dude, I watched it so many times. The first review is very normal. The second one, you hear Michael. It's also very normal. Well, Michael's in the bathroom.

Screaming, which is very normal. Yeah, yeah. And then he busts out. Dude, the way that, because I come out and I plan, and I just stand there and I'm waiting, because you guys are filming, and I'm waiting for Eric to turn around, so I don't come towards you.

You're in the middle of going, like, rating the gummies, and you're like, I think it's, I'm gonna give it a, and you glance up and just stop talking. It makes sense. Your eyes just keep him, it's incredible. And he just slowly turns around and then walks towards me, and you're just like, is this a problem? And it's just- Amazing.

And then you hear Nick Howley, what a background. It's so good, but then we got, like, four more videos on the back of it, because we just kept going They're just hanging out I don't know if those ones are gonna be out by this time But we continue to review stuff as like Michael's in the background clean. There's like cleanup going on There's just more with this fucking kit nuts nuts incredible. I don't know why it exploded. I know it's cool

He just kept yelling what happened. I kept going I wish the button. Yeah, I push the book I push the button Going and you press it and then it starts Notice when I drop it it's face down.

We've spiced up a traditional holiday favorite, available for a limited time. Extremely limited.

Yeah, so limited. And not in America, apparently. Nope! Wow. Meet me. They do have press material, though. Oh, good. Austin is on the world's radar. And we're so excited to have press material though. Oh good. Oh. Austin is on the world's radar.

And we're so excited to bring our concept to this vibrant city. Don't call your restaurant a concept. Which is so well aligned. Don't say it's a lie. So well aligned with Nando's culture and commitment to quality and community said John Fisher, CEO of Nando's Perry Perry. That's the official name? Yeah. We look forward to being part

of Austin's dynamic culinary landscape. This sounds like he couldn't be bothered. Uh-huh. Hey, can you hear us? Austin, what's that? He was and he did. He did it. It's like, hey, can we get a quote?

Is that in Australia? Is that near Perth? Cause I'm not opening another one over there. I'm not going. I'm not going. I'm not going, you can't make me. I'm not getting back on that Qantas. I'm not doing it.

Well, we have our review of the food, but. There's only two. I wanna read the first one. Go please do, Michael B. Uh oh. What? Do you wanna read the second one? But there's a.

You thought there were three? But this is a segment where we hear from you and it's called You Review! Okay, so what's the problem? So what's the problem here, Eric? So why don't you get into it? I was just like, oh, maybe it's so new. That's what I was going to say.

There's just not that many. And he or maybe if we had said that, he might have went along with it. But when you said, oh, there's only two and he went, there's no reviews for the one in Austin. This is in Chicago. OK, so is that the next closest one? I don't know if it's the closest, but yes. That's where like the most are.

How did you miss one? Do you wanna find it real quick? This first one's from Michael B. Just like, I mean, I know he really barely tries with this thing, but like we've never not gotten three. Michael B. Fucking bronze. Michael B. says, maybe it's my age

But I'm getting flocking sick and tired of these so-called hostesses That's what they're called and they're flipping attitudes I think it is your age my I called to place my order and did not indicate the type of sauce I wanted Okay, when she asked me what type of sauce I wanted what what she should have said was, our choices are dot dot dot, but she didn't. So I replied medium. This quote Northside Trixie in training, end quote, says quote, I don't know what medium is, end quote. I mean, definitely didn't happen.

It's a flavor. Then proceeds to run through the choices at breakneck speed. Did she use any deductive reasoning to align my request for quote unquote medium to their offerings? Nah, come on. That's like being customer friendly. Duh.

Obviously I decided not to take the two minute walk across the street to help pay her salary. Wait, I don't- What does that last one mean? I don't know what it was. So he didn't. So he called to order and then it's two minutes away, but he didn't. What? What does that mean? So he's on the phone talking about the sauces.

And as soon as she's like, uh, here's our choices, which is what he wanted. Right. Yeah. But he got what he wanted. But apparently it was too fast. I got medium. Yeah. So I. Yeah. Right. They have a medium. Right. Yeah, but he got what he wanted. But apparently it was too fast. I got medium. Yeah, so I don't- Yeah, right. They have a medium. Right, I think it's because this didn't happen. Oh! It might have though. Um, because instead of medium, I think he probably said, I don't know. What's up with these hostesses? Is Northside tricksy in training some sort of Chicago-based? I don't know what that means. It sounds mean and like we could figure it out, but I'm not gonna.

It's like bald-headed behavior. Yeah, it is bald-headed behavior. I assume it's like derogatory. Yes. But it's so confusing, I don't know what it means. If you usually have like three of something and the one time you leave out one, I think that's like north side Trixie in training. Oh

I thought I think that's trick cereal. Oh Well, either way he's not going two minutes across the street I don't I don't ever Michael Is this for kids How old do you think this guy was oh He was either 80 or like 40 yeah I think it's my yeah yeah I think he's definitely like 44 and the world's passing him by because he can't figure out also calling Nanda nothing happened here really calling either and it's like look at attitude yeah she told you the sauce this is not an event yeah even if this happened like what this is a one-star review

What is and and it seems like a normal interaction and he blew out of proportion Yep There's did not indicate the type of sauce you wanted which is crazy because you know, that's that's the whole reason to go And there's so many different sauces and then you got mad that she asked you about it And then you didn't want to walk across the street one star one star well anyway Here's Johan read the second of two Here's Johan be The beverage machine didn't work so we had to eat without it

We didn't even get to walk we didn't even get water to wash down the spicy food. It's not that spicy The staff placed us at a table, but didn't tell us what you have to do to order at the counter Not a word from the staff and no refund Imagine imagine you sit down. Uh-huh, and then you're just like Hello And then you're just like, hello. I crazy. They didn't give us any water to wash it down. Okay. How'd they get their food?

I don't know. No refund. But also, I think about this to wash it down. I think it's bold of them to ask. This is a surprise groin Oh, here we go He made it on another piece of paper. All right, Jordan. All you do this one. She's us. Can we tag team it here? Sure, you want to hand that we can we can tag team it I'll take every other one. Oh look at him. He was acting. Yeah

Yeah, it was not well done. I take back like it was very well It was done. I take back like it was very well. It was done I take back my Trixie comment Okay, oh boy, I want you I want Jordan to start it yeah, I'm glad I'm glad he lets us know at the top I'll get to I'll get to bullet point number two. Okay. Oh No, I'll get to bullet point number three. You can take the rest from there. Okay, three onward. Okay. Okay, this is Brent W Caveat lector possible TLDR. I think it means reader beware. I would assume Okay Another place W unjustified hype

I normally don't hate on chain restaurants, just BC a place happens to be a chain, as there are many quality chains out there. However this place was a fail at almost every turn, and what gives chains a bad name? Number one, their stupid seating system is horrible. The dippy host gave us table number 55 giving no indication as to where it was remotely located So we wander aimlessly looking for the 50s and once we ID'd 54 looked in the immediate table surrounding it no dice at that point We run into a guy who was looking for his table and we both laughed about what an up to system

It was I was already irritated, BC'd there were several booths available and knew she likely and predictably was gonna give us a cramped to top which she did natch. See below. I love those diagrams attached. So I walked back to the host and stained and tell her the seating system sucks just give us that booth right there like five steps away she says oh this is a good system most people get it lols that's really what it says lols which frankly if I were her I would have said something similar BC I was intentionally being a bit of a dude okay cool uh Brett he saw I was an asshole. Yeah.

Number two. And we're not quite to numbers. She gives us a new table number and we go sit at the booth, which was dirty. Of course. Too bad. So sad that's on me, but we're here. Yeah, it is on you. They didn't tell you to sit there. You fucking moron. Hey, that's on me. That's on me. Too bad. So sad. You say about your own stupid decision. You dumb fucking gives. He has more points to get to. However, he gives no grace to the company, the system or the people working there through his entire point. And then he fucks up and he got any and he's like, hey, give me some slack. What a fucking moron.

He will hold that against the restaurant. He will not hold that against himself. It was dirty, like they hadn't cleaned it yet. I've never been wrong in my life. If their system made sense, I wouldn't have to put myself in this situation. This guy, just remember, he did all this and then went home and wrote this.

Yeah, well, he wrote that and then continued to write more because we're at number two. Everything at this point, say for the actual food being delivered to your table is self-serve. I have no problem with this and almost prefer it in my state of mind. This is I other people. This is a Jordan note. State of mind being an insane person. Yes, absolutely. The less people I have to encounter, the better.

That said, you will find yourself making several trips to the Multi-purpose station which has everything you will need to complete you meal and there are no trays So you must gather up slash make multiple trips utensils napkins watered slash drinks There's no spaces here by the way small glasses So you will be getting up multiple times not if you get a craft Sauces olive oils other condiments etc. D. Why I? Do yourself in? This small ramekins also cumbersome hey not when you take the bottle though, but if you get utensils napkins

Water maybe even a drink for yourself. That's one trip. Uh huh. Yeah. Like we got, the two of us, We did everything because there were four of us. four people. Well, that's right. And we went, I went twice. We did it- You guys went once or twice.

We did it DIY style. It was pretty simple. Yeah. It was pretty easy. Do yourself it. Do yourself it. I don't- That was point two.

I love that it's self-serve, but it infuriates me when I have to serve myself. And I have to get up. Why isn't self-serve at the table already? Hey, honestly, too bad, so sad. Too bad, so sad. I'll take it over from here. Okay, here's number three. Onto number three.

The food arrives and looks okay. Plate presentation isn't their forte, but I'm fine with keeping things simple. Stupid. She ordered the chicken leg and thigh yes, she's Asian With fries and garlic bread this was a solid three out of five overall Not so crisp fries coming in last the chicken middle of the pack and the garlic bread stealing the show Bread stealing the show kind Kind of telling, innit? I chose the chicken breasted apita. Yes, I'm cock Asian. He capitalized the A. And this was about as haphazardly thrown together as you will find. Additionally,

the other ingredients like the bell peppers and romaine lettuce were of very poor quality. As a cook or server, this should not have been allowed to be sent out to a guest, IMO. I had no interest in taking it back, so I took those items out and was left with some decent chicken in dry, uninspired pita, W yogurt sauce. I chose the coleslaw as a side, again, quite telling this that this was the hit of the dish. Finally, we come to a close at number four. Oh, and where might the elusive table number 55 be located? When I went to the restroom, I spotted it right by the small hallway leading to the washrooms. LOL, not close to 54, a fact. I don't know what word that is.

I think it's as far as I can tell. Oh, Jesus Christ almighty. Nobody uses that, dude. I've never seen that in my life. That's just, that's context- As far as I can tell. And yes, it was a tiny two-top. Radonk!

The place was maybe a one out of four full. So stupid. Um, he shouldn't call it himself names. Oh, maybe it was maybe a one fourth full? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So stupid. We got- Stupid restaurant. We got the half chicken. Whaaaaat? We got the half chicken with chips, which is what she ordered. Asian because she's Asian. What? Yes. She's Asian. Don't ask. I know what you're thinking. She got the chicken at Nando's must be Asian.

Well, she is. Are we Asian? What does that mean? What did he get? Oh, he got he got the chicken breast in a pita because he's cock Asian. I don't under- he- it's like he wanted to make a- Oh! He wants you to know! He wants you to know and also he's not racist. He doesn't even see color.

Right. Yes, she's Asian. Before you ask ask based on this traditionally Asian meal of chicken at man the Know what you're thinking chicken leg and thigh Called it a mile away also also Asian the most diverse, like subcontinent of ethnicity you could be.

I don't understand. She got the half chicken with chips and garlic bread, and he's like, why? Yeah, she's Asian. Garlic bread? Yeah, she's a garlic bread This guy got my classic white guy meal Same thing right with also trend yeah, this is no garlic. I'm white. Oh my god. Um, hey!

That guy fucking sucks. That guy fucking sucks, dude. What do you mean? He sat down in a dirty booth and he's like... I think he's insane. He's just a stupid asshole. This guy's a stupid fucking asshole. He told everyone about us. And then he wrote this. Look how long this is.

There are other people who Look how long this is. There are other people who have done reviews who are assholes, but they're not purposely stupid assholes like this guy. They're kind of delusional. Yes. This guy's not delusional. The people walking into the Chili's being like, maybe we could split the party up. I don't know.

It was dirty, of course. Too bad. So sad. That's on me. I would have said something similar because I was intentionally being a bit of a dick Anyway, I have four more points to my sat down at the dirty I saw I sat down at the dirty booth with an Asian woman. Yeah She had garlic bread. I know what you're thinking. Of course she did What that's just how she grew up.

My god. You have to learn to understand different cultures. But I get it. I'm Caucasian. You're welcome. So that's what you had to say, but now we have a very different experience at Nando's. Yeah. First time I've ever been uh-huh

interesting I Don't know why people get thrown for a loop with the self-serve stuff. It's just how the restaurant works Oh, it's fine with me. Yeah, it's cool It's and you can order now grant I don't know about this place because it's a different place, but you can either order at the counter or through the app Yeah, just scare you and that was super easy to yeah except Eric screaming about his internet again But other than that dude that was crazy and then get on the Wi-Fi I don't know try your phone try your phone was like the Wi-Fi Jordan's like oh get on the Wi-Fi

I got on the Wi-Fi still couldn't download the parking app still can't download the parking app you should download You should download the parking app. We're fine before you go next. Yeah Happiest push notification I ever got I'm gonna. Hey, how do you oh no I wanted. Yeah, thank you I hate the surveillance state surveillance a rule. I I love it surveil me up. Yeah free parking I'm still in the podcast. I don't know if you could tell by how much we were talking about the rest of the irony before I Yeah, but uh The food was pretty good, and we all like the restaurant The food was very good. It wasn't pretty good.

It was fucking delicious. We were talking about it at the restaurant. It was all so good. Not sure what we're going to talk about in this episode because this is just, it's very good. And Michael kept going, or was it? Yeah. It's like, no, Michael, it was good.

It was fucking good, dude. Like the bread was good. Every single topping I got on the sandwich was good. The bread was good, every single topping I got on the sandwich was good. The chicken was delicious. It was spiced so well, not just the hotness, but the spices were so flavorful. I got medium because I wasn't sure how the heat would work. I could probably do hot, but there was still a little kick for medium, which got me excited for hot.

And the chicken tasted good. And it was so soft. Yes. Oh, you got that chicken burger. Eating it on a sandwich? I want to get that too. The chicken tasted good. And it was so soft. Yes. Oh, you got that chicken burger. Eating it on a sandwich. I wanna get that too. I wanna get that too.

Sometimes you're eating a chicken sandwich and if the chicken's a little tough, it'll not rip, right? That's why I didn't get it. It was perfect. It was perfect. And then the mac and cheese was good and that fucking drink that Nick made us get

was also delicious. Nick. Yeah, you're welcome. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for letting us try some. You're so benevolent. It was really good. Everything there was fucking welcome. Thank you. Thank you for letting us try some. You're so benevolent. It was really good.

Everything there was fucking good. I love that place. The only shit show was walking through the door. Yeah. And even then the woman there was pissed about it. Yeah. And so she was pissed and you were pissed. So it made me happy.

Yeah. It didn't bother me at all. It gave us something to do. I kept going, stop looking at me. You just go. I was watching it and going, looking at me. Yeah Yeah, so What they do is just cook the chicken perfectly yeah, and then it's up It's kind of up to you to like you pick your sauce

Mm-hmm, and then get more sauce, and then you grab five bottles and you put them on the table Yeah, you know I'm sorry let you down you go on a sauce table and you go nuts. You can't say we couldn't even get all of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You go nuts on fries. I'm sorry to let you down. You go on a sauce light and the chicken's amazing and you eat some fries and it's a good meal. Yeah, I really don't have anything negative to say about it. Yeah, there's a... I'm so glad they opened one here. There's, yes.

There's a reason it's a Cheeky Nando's and now finally we can be some Cheeky Nando's. Dude, we go across the, not even the street, the walkway to BD Riley's. Yeah, get drunk. We get ripped and then we have a Cheeky Nando's. And then go to Cheeky Nando's across the cross the night in the street. Yeah, the walkway. Yeah to beady Riley's Yeah, get get drunk we get ripped in the wave of cheeky Nando's We see Craven again I've known now's never cared to let go was never like I gotta go and it's like oh one open there and It's like oh, yeah, I guess I'll go and then you're like we're going I'm like, oh, that's convenient

I went and I'm like this place rules. I'm definitely There that was fucking delicious. There should be more all over the US. I think they, Oh, that's convenient. I went and I'm like, this place rules. I'm definitely going back there. That was fucking delicious. There should be more all over the US. I think they would do really, really, really well. That's what I've been saying ever since I first tried it. It was very, I was like, I don't know how they haven't like, it's crazy. They just have not made it that quality like a chain everywhere. Yeah, it's fucking good. Yeah. Yeah. It's super impressive.

It's really good. They're brand new here. And it's like Austin has one. It's nice. What do you rate it, Jordan? 93%. Wow. Yeah. I'm gonna have to give it a 93 as well. Wow.

Because we're on the same page here. And also I was thinking maybe a 92 and then I can't let Jordan go higher than that. I get it. 93. It's fucking great, dude. It was delicious. 93 the average score. Everything was fucking delicious. 93 is one of our highest rated foods

I think we've ever done. And probably the most deserving of the highest ratings. I agree with that. I was gonna say, there's probably like a 96 somewhere that's a total bullshit. No, we did it right this time. We spent- This place may be one of the best places

we've ever gone to for this show. That like, we're like, I don't know, we'll go there. And they're like, holy fuck, it's good. The food is so good. Oh my God, and it was fast, and like holy fuck. It's good. This food is so good Oh my god, and it was fast. It was very quick. It was easy food came out fast We all got the half chicken and chips You got the chicken burger with the mac and cheese and then two drinks the rest of we just had water but like to like Alcohol drinks anything how many pounds governor think it was like 85 84 85 bucks, dude

We just went to I hop and it was a hundred dollars and fucking sucked shit It was terrible. It was terrible. This was I would eat this chicken burger was like 13 14 bucks Yeah, and it was like it was like plus two dollars for to like up to the mac and cheese. Yeah, totally worth it Yeah, all right that the half chicken and chips is like 15 or whatever and that is I got no problem with that I have no problem with that. I have no problem. It was really good. If it's quality, it was really good.

It was really good. That's 15 bucks. I love that flavor. I love how you can do, you got that mango lime flavor. God, it's so good. Totally different from like the hot that we got and everything. And I really liked the customization

that you can do with that stuff. The chicken just tastes good. It's really good. Outside of whatever sauces you get, the chicken is cooked very well. It was like really well prepared chicken with a bunch of sauce that you can throw on it. When you have sauce funky, just ready to go nuts.

All they're doing back there is making sure the chicken is cooked. All the shit on there was good too. Like, it didn't take away from the chicken, but I could taste like I got, I think I had like red onions and I got cheese and pineapple on mine. And the pineapple was fucking good. It was like, oh, it's like a nice slice of actual pineapple

but you could still taste the chicken and the fruit tasted fresh. It was a fucking good sandwich. I could have eaten two easily. I love food that has that kind of freshness, that brightness that comes in with a tropical fruit. By the way, the sandwich looked appetizing as shit. They had a little flag in it that said medium.

Yeah, so everyone knows whose is whose. Yeah, very easy. Very good stuff. Good job, Nando's. Better fly to Austin or Chicago or wherever else they have them. I think there's a few other, like there's a handful like you guys don't know a lot.
