Welcome to Face Jam, the show where we try every new fast food creation to let you know if you need it.
You probably, doubably do.
Thanks to DoorDash for making this show possible.
I'm your host, Michael Jones, also known as Mikey J.
Alongside my co-host, Jordan Sweers, also known as J-Dog.
J-Dog, how are you?
I'm good now that I have a new nickname.
Thank you.
Yeah.
That's not what I would have picked.
Well, you don't pick your own nickname, except Mikey J.
I did pick that.
I made that myself.
I'm trying to set us off on the right foot here because we've had a lot of problems today,
mostly stemming from Eric.
Actually, exclusively stemming from Eric.
Thank you.
He's in a bit of a sour mood.
Thanks, guys.
Very cool.
I have to explain why you're so sour.
You don't have to explain anything.
It would have been fine.
I'm a professional.
It would have been okay.
No, you're already sour.
No.
See, listen to him.
This is because you pointed out that there were a bunch of problems,
and we haven't even done anything, and no one would even know.
But you're like, there's problems.
Yeah, people want to know they
want to they want to peek behind the curtain though i feel like i'm real with the jammers
all right fine and i want to let them know today's a little bit of a struggle there was a cable
connector that i didn't have so we're we're kind of making it work by you're managing yeah we're
we're recording scraping by in other situations and it's just it's a it's a headache but it's
working and then i don't know it like yeah listen we're in a walmart parking just it's a it's a headache, but it's working and then I don't know it like yeah
We're in a Walmart parking lot. It's a whole thing. Huh again. I was gonna say we're here in like what what even fucker city Are we in Lake this is still online?
Yes, the law it's like borderline some other city that nobody has real north or west
And you gotta you gotta call bullshit. Like, this isn't Austin.
This is crazy.
Yeah.
When I saw this on the map.
Yeah, fuck you.
This isn't Austin.
Nice try.
Nice try, suckers.
But why we're here and what we're doing here today is we're reviewing the fan favorite fazoli's parmesan crusted alfredo bake with
meatballs fazoli's i i guess that's how to pronounce it because i didn't know it was a word
before last week yeah nick is giving a thumbs up big thumbs like it was like a very big thumbs up oh wow super big okay fazoli that's it fazoli
you're putting you're putting too much like italian into a thing that is certainly not
clearly not that it's fazoli yeah hey fazoli's you know when people say just let it trickle out
when people say olive garden is fake Italian, you haven't seen Fizzoli.
It's true.
I would go as far to say that Fizzoli might be fake Olive Garden.
I don't know.
I don't know what it is.
Popped up on our radar at a limited item.
We're all about that.
And I said,
what the hell
is Fazoli's? I didn't know.
You didn't know.
Eric didn't think there was one in Austin, and borderline
there isn't. It's far as hell.
It's close. Who comes
screaming in, big old
Fazoli fan? Nick.
He's like, oh, I love Fazoli's.
I used to go there all the time. And then he starts
just laying it down. Like, he's a Fazoli's expert.
Like we were talking about a packet of sauce.
That's it.
I mean, I said it and there was a long pause.
No one said anything else.
I really thought Eric was going to chime in there.
And I just was staring at Jordan.
No, it seemed like you were painting a picture and then decided,
eh, this picture's done.
I painted the picture and then the picture was painted.
And then I turned around and everyone was just kind of looking somewhere else. And I went, there's the picture, guys. It's done. I painted the picture, and then the picture was painted, and then I turned around, and everyone was just kind of looking somewhere else,
and I went, there's the picture, guys.
It's done.
And you said, oh, I thought you were painting two pictures.
My favorite Nick story with Fazoli's was how he said it was his go-to date spot.
Yeah, that's what he said.
Go-to.
Those are the words he used.
Yeah.
I don't know if it was first dates
Or
Or what but
Seems like a first date kind of place
Yeah
I like that
It seems like a no date kind of place
Listen
People gotta eat
Okay
I mean
Yeah but look around this parking lot
They don't have to eat at Fazoli
They really don't
There's so
There's like a Chick-fil-A, I think.
There's a Whataburger.
I'm not getting it.
I'm just saying.
It's like.
Did you come to this fazoli's, Nick?
That's what I was going to ask.
Oh, there's another one?
There must be one.
I mean, I always.
And it's closed now?
I think it's in San Marcos.
Oh, that's.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
Was that the one you went?
He's pointing at me very aggressively. Yeah.
Those are his old stomping grounds.
So if you want to find a piece of Nick,
go to the Fazoli's
in San Marcos. I like...
Maybe you'll find something. I like that
he described it as a date spot
and then he said, yeah, I don't know.
The dates were like 50-50
on it and it's like, who was
50 in the yes camp on this place?
Yeah.
He said, thanks for bringing me to Fazoli's.
I really like how it's like a fast food restaurant, but Italian.
This is the past experience segment because we have none.
I never even heard of it before.
We're just mining Nick here.
We should just talk about Nick's experience, but obviously for him.
He said it was 50-50, and I said, was that because of the food or the dates?
And he went, little from column A, little from column B.
Most interesting to me is that he took his wife here on a date.
Yep.
Before, back when they were dating.
She passed the test.
Yeah. That's how he knew.
Yeah, they call it Fazoli's Gambit.
That sounds like a weapon in destiny.
If you make it through.
Yeah.
There's something to be said.
You're destined for true love.
I'm still trying to figure out how to make a Fazoli and Isles joke. Yeah. There's something to be said. You're destined for true love. I'm still trying to figure out how to make a fazoli and aisles joke.
Yeah.
Jesus Christ.
So, yeah, we'll give you time, I guess.
Let us know when you lock that one down.
I heard fazolis, right?
I read fazolis.
I saw it was a pasta dish, and my thought was Italian restaurant.
And I don't know of an Italian restaurant that you don't
sit down in you know I'd say as close
as you can get is
you know you get like pizza places
or borderline sub shops they might do
a little bit of Italian like spaghetti
deli or something like that
right
but I looked at the first picture
and it blew me away because
the inside looked like it was just the counter and then it had a menu board like it was a McDonald's.
Yep.
Like numbers and everything.
And I was like, what the fuck?
My first impression was that it looked like a McDonald's fuck to Jason's Deli.
Yeah.
Like it kind of had that vibe to it.
And so then even with that, you know, Jordan, you assume there'd be some sort of, you know, you pick your food and you go down a line type deal.
Yeah.
There's a drive-thru in this place.
There's a fucking drive-thru.
Drive-thru Italian.
Like fast food Italian.
It's crazy.
I was thinking about this for days.
How did we not know this place existed?
It's a really bonkers restaurant.
We'll get to a lot of this stuff in the facts section where we have a lot of facts about fazoli's where you guys will definitely learn a lot um
but one fact that i did not include there's one fact that i did not include that i can i feel like
i can tell you about now is that uh a few years ago in baltimore they tried to open the italian
equivalent of chipotle where you go down what you're describing, where you go down a line and build your own pasta dish and everything.
It lasted one year and went under.
Damn.
Yeah.
This was a Fazoli's idea?
Yes, it was.
Did anybody, was there, like, people die or they just didn't do well?
No, I think that, and again, we'll get to some of these things in the facts section about what is Fazoli's and their thinking. I'm just saying, generally speaking,
when we're coming to Face Jam facts,
things don't pan out well because people die.
Yeah, that's true.
There's some sort of murder or poisoning
or, you know, contamination involved.
Melted dick.
Balls were melted.
I was getting there.
Bathrooms.
Wild.
Just a wild, crazy time.
It's a weird restaurant that I had to go walk inside of,
and the inside just looks like a Carl's Jr.,
and then they go, here's a sack of food,
and it's all pasta and bread.
I'm looking at the restaurant now because we're in the parking lot.
I didn't eat the whole thing, and I'm full.
Neither did I, dude.
It's filling. It's pasta for sure thing and I'm full. Neither did I, dude. It's filling.
It's pasta for sure. But I'm looking at the
restaurant now and I'm like thinking
it used to be a Carl's Jr.
It looks like it. It fucking looks like it.
It's also painted
super weird. It's a
very weird color.
It almost, they went for like, they're like, let's do
green, but not olive garden green.
Let's do lime green on the canopy.
And it's just ugly as shit.
Yeah.
I, when we saw how far away it was, we were like, okay, well, if we go there, we definitely have to record in the parking lot.
And then as a joke, because Nick had known about the restaurant, I was like, Nick, what's the landscape?
What are we talking about here?
And he's like, oh, it's right next to a Walmart.
There's plenty of space.
I was like, holy shit.
This guy knows.
This guy knows.
And this isn't even the one he came to.
No, yeah.
Well, he's a northerner now, so I think he's probably hit this place up.
When was the last time you've been here, Nick?
This one.
A year ago.
What?
A year ago?
Holy shit.
It's too far for me to translate.
I'm glad Eric translated that.
Yeah, I couldn't hear him.
That blows my mind.
And then my next question is like,
why was he keeping it from us?
Yeah.
I had to.
Not Eric.
I found this on Chew Boom.
I didn't think that there was one in Austin.
I looked up Fazoli's and I went, that's not Austin.
He didn't chase the weed.
We've talked about this before.
No.
That's not Austin.
I looked at it.
No.
It is, though.
That's not Austin.
This is Austin.
On paper, it's Austin.
If Austin could have Gaddy's pizza, they could have a Fazoli's or two.
I think the face jam threshold is 30 minutes.
I agree.
Unless it's like a real banger 40, that'd be insanity.
I mean, I'll go up to Cedar Park for a special Zaxby's thing.
Is there a Zaxby's in Cedar Park?
Yeah.
Oh, we should do Zaxby's.
It's the closest one.
Oh, wow. Have you been sleeping on them, Eric? Have there been deals coming out?
Yeah, I didn't think there was one in Austin. God damn it.
You gotta check a map, man.
Yeah, let me just tell you. Oh, a map.
I'll find a list of all the restaurants
in the metropolitan
area for you.
Check the glove box. There's probably one in there.
It's unfolded. Oh.
I hadn't thought about it. Like a Thomas Brothers.
Yeah, yeah.
Start rooting around looking for Zaxby's.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Zaxby's is on the map.
The fold-up map.
Well, that's cool.
We haven't done Zaxby's yet.
We've gotten this long into this show without repeating a restaurant.
We've got to keep going.
We've got to do Zaxby's.
It's impressive.
We're almost at a year.
Yep. Yeah. That's axes. We're almost at a year. Yep.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
Like, this is...
Is this 25, Nick?
24, 25?
What is this?
This is 25, I think.
So we're just about at our...
Oh, shit.
We're just about at our GM-iversary.
Damn.
Wow.
That was cool.
You like that, you said?
I just came up with that.
I like that.
You like that?
Yeah.
Thank you.
All right.
You're making up for things a little bit now.
That's very cute.
I see you poking your head.
I don't know if you're pointing to producer hat.
I think he's wearing his producer hat.
I can't tell.
There's weird lighting today in the parking lot.
Like, everyone has their silhouette shadows.
Yeah, Tazoli's is known for the lighting being weird.
It's romantic.
I like how I can't see you guys
Nick didn't take his date inside
cause you know there's nowhere to sit
they just went and picked it up
and sat in his car
I got it catered
do you think a fazoli's inside
is like when we went into the jack in the box
and it was like a woman painting her nails
and like a bunch of people not eating
just hanging out maybe that's like a cool hangout spot
it's weird probably and like a bunch of people not eating, just hanging out. Maybe that's like a cool hangout spot.
It's weird.
Probably.
I mean, where the last place I would ever think to look for anybody is inside of Fazoli's restaurant.
Mostly because I didn't know it existed.
If you're on the run, just go to Fazoli's.
Just hide out.
It's just crazy.
I'm just looking at the window and it just says pasta in the window.
Just an old neon sign. Also, there's a sign
that says five under five dollars.
A lot of their food is under five bucks.
Pizza and pasta. I think that's a calzone.
It's unheard of.
Also, they're hiring
a lot of people.
That's good to know.
A lot of people driving through the drive-thru
of the Fazoli's. Again, a lot of people driving through the drive-thru of the Fazoli's.
Again, a lot of options in this actual, just this one parking lot.
Yeah.
You have like a handful of other places that you could eat.
Water burgers over there.
Just in this parking, like you go across the street, there's even more, right?
There's probably a McDonald's in that Walmart.
I would think so.
And you're going, you know what?
Gotta get this pasta, but don't want to leave my car.
Here's the thing, though, right?
And I'll say, it's like Panda Express, though.
They got the market.
Where the fuck else are you going to drive through and not get out of your car and get pasta?
Yeah.
No, you're right.
That's why I wanted to come here. Jordan and I, we both used the word intrigued.
It was quite the intriguing proposition.
Definitely.
I didn't know there was such a thing.
Okay, let's, now that we've explained Nick's history.
Let's get fact.
Let's get some facts.
You're going to learn a lot.
Established in 1988.
Whoa, little baby.
What about that long?
Fazoli's, like Olive Garden, was created with the intention of always becoming a chain.
There are now over 200 Fazoli's in 26 states.
I don't know how we missed this.
This is crazy.
That sounds like too many.
It does sound like too many.
It's an impossible number to not know about.
Are there any in California?
No.
They're mostly in the south and kind of the east.
Are there any in California?
No.
They're mostly in the south and kind of like the east. We have a friend named Andrew, you don't know him, who is from Mississippi, and I asked him about Fazoli's, and he went, oh, yeah, their mascot's like a tomato.
And I said, oh, yeah.
I don't know this guy, but that sounds like something he'd say.
Is this guy from Mississippi?
He came in and he took the part you needed for the audio.
Yeah.
He stole it.
Yeah.
Didn't he say it was Andrew?
Yeah.
He stole it.
Andrew took my cable or whatever.
Eric threw a couple of people under the bus.
He threw his fiance.
Andrew was one of them.
Andrew,
I think his dog as well.
The dog.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The dog he physically threw under the bus.
I definitely threw Michael's shirt gremlins under the bus just in case.
If they're shrinking shirts, I don't put it past them.
They're making them a little bigger, which is weird.
Are they?
I think they feel bad.
How are they doing that?
They're using cold water.
Oh.
It reverses the process.
You got to wine dry them.
So there you go.
So far you've learned one fact about Fazoli's.
One fact.
On to fact number two.
So there you go.
So far you've learned one fact about Fazoli's. One fact.
On to fact number two.
Fazoli's is not an Italian restaurant, but an Italian-American restaurant offering fare
like the Meatball Da Vinci and the Primo Italiano, which is weird because the restaurant was
started in Kentucky by a company that made Long John Silver.
Ugh.
Meatball Da Vinci.
Everything about this is so fucked up.
What is that even?
What's clever about that?
Why?
Michael, that's exactly why I included it,
because I went, maybe they'll get the joke.
What's the joke?
I think they're kind of just like, hey, Italian words.
Put them next to some other words.
He's just saying things.
Beep all Da Vinci.. Meatball Da Vinci.
Meatball Da Vinci.
It was started
by the people who started Long John Silver
because they're like,
well, we'll just do an Italian thing.
And it's like, that's gross. That's two
gross restaurants. Can we make a pledge
to never eat at Long John Silver for this
show? I mean, it's up to
you guys. If you guys say no,
you can always veto a choice.
I feel like that goes
against the nature of this show,
but I 100% will pledge
to never eat there.
Unless
we're really desperate.
Michael, you're playing
devil's advocate, but also you
absolutely agree with Jordan. He's a really bad devil's advocate, but also you absolutely agree with Jordan.
Yes, correct.
He's a really bad devil's advocate.
I just want people to know on paper what he's saying is wrong, but I completely agree with him.
I don't want to go there.
I don't want to go there or eat anything from that hellhole.
And I think I have the same conflicting issue where I don't want to put ourselves in this box, but also I would prefer to never eat there again in my life.
Right.
And that's fine.
That's fair.
We've always got fazoles.
Fact number three.
Hold on.
I just want to say that all of,
all of this stuff,
it makes so much sense now knowing that it's from a Kentucky like based
company.
And,
and that it's,
it's qualified as Italian American. Like they go out of their
way to be like, we're not an Italian place.
We're an Italian American place.
It reminds me of that episode of The Sopranos
where they go to Italy and they're
so excited to try the food,
but they don't like any of the food.
Because it's all seafood.
Yeah, they're like, hey, you got any
meatball da Vinci?
Yeah.
Well, you sounded just like Tony.
Hey, gabagool.
I thought James Gandolfini just rose from the grave.
He's back, and he wants the meatball da Vinci.
I want the meatball da Vinci.
Hey, you got any big Italian refrigerators I could leave open?
Okay. Go ahead. refrigerators i could leave open um okay go ahead it hasn't always been smooth sailing for vizzoli's after a downturn in sales they realized people were leaving because the quality of the
food was terrible so they introduced new items and put in drive-thrus which i guess trick people
into thinking that it is okay, that it is not good.
Okay.
I was going through a roller coaster as you were reading this because I was like, it used to be worse?
Oh, no.
We really missed out.
Hey.
They didn't solve the problem with the quality.
It used to be worse.
One of the franchisees,
that's why it says the quality of the food is terrible.
That's a direct quote from one of the franchisees that's why it says the quality of the food is terrible that's a direct quote from one of the franchisees he said for a long time people would come once and then never
come back because the quality of the food the quality of the food was so bad i mean i don't
want to i don't want to like i i don't want to say for sure but i know what you're gonna say
i think call it done.
I think I might never eat here again myself.
I mean, I will never eat here again, but that it's just too far and weird.
If I was in Fazoli stomping grounds, I could wander my way through.
I'm not.
That's a shame to say that.
That is fine.
Exactly.
Michael, what you just said is exactly how Nick described it to me before everyone got here i'm like i would never come here and eat he's like right but if there was nothing
else and you were like within like a mile you'd be like whatever there's fazoli's i guess i'll
just eat here i'm like i guess so no i would i would go to chick-fil-a first i would go to
water burger first i would even maybe entertain Arby's. Wow.
I think I'd be like
ah, Fazoli's.
The odds are too, someone would
be here that didn't know what the hell it was
and I'd say, you gotta try the pasta
and the pizza.
You gotta get the meatball da Vinci.
The meatball da Vinci.
Get it?
I just like theci. Get it? I just like that they...
No, me neither.
Oh, man.
When you're dead, people can do anything with your name.
All they had to do was wait.
Yep, smart.
Some fucker's like, oh, Da Vinci's been dead forever.
What's he going to do about it?
Nothing. You know what I mean? smart some some fuckers like oh da vinci's been dead forever what's he gonna do about it nothing
you know what i mean like can you imagine if they tried to call it like the michael jordan
meatballs they'd be impossible i don't know why i just picked michael jordan off the top of my head
not like it's anything to do with like you know potentially being sued or anything but
fuck it throw da vinci in there oh, have you tried the Jesus Christ breadsticks?
They're amazing.
They're a little cross-shaped.
Yeah, Jesus, people didn't know this.
He liked cheese on all of his food.
All right, next fact.
If you're an experienced eater,
you can join Fazoli's Club 62,
a senior citizen discount program
that allows you to eat spaghetti with a salad on Wednesdays.
This is great news for our audience.
We're proud to be able to help them find a family friendly restaurant to bring their grandchildren for supper.
Not dinner.
Supper.
Very good.
Supper.
Yeah.
That's a good call.
Eric, that was nice.
You were thinking of the people there.
That was one where we had to take a break from the joking,
and we need to just let our audience know.
Really help the jammers.
Listen, your grandson wants a slice of pizza, and he can have that.
But if you bring him on a Wednesday with Club 62,
you get a spaghetti and a salad, and what else could you want?
That's perfect.
Is it called Club 62 because you need to be 62 to join? Yes, that is
exactly what it is.
Before I got to the senior citizen
part, I was intrigued, and then I was
no longer intrigued. Mostly because
he put experienced eater in quotation marks.
That is what they call it.
They say that Club 62 is
an experienced eater program.
I think that just means you're still
in the game.
Yeah.
If you're not dead yet,
you've been eating this long.
You made it this far.
I'm only 29 and it might be brash
of me to say this, but I feel like I'm a pretty
experienced eater myself. I don't know.
I think it's not
your rookie year and I understand
that, but it's also like
you haven't been in the league long enough
to get out of arbitration.
You're stuck with your entry-level team.
So, sorry, man.
I'm still on my rookie deal.
Get another 30 years on you.
Yeah, I think if you're an experienced eater at the age of 62,
they're going to go in there and ask you,
like, you ever eat mud?
And you'll be like, mud?
For five years I ate mud. And they'll be like, all right, that's experience. ask you like you ever eat mud mud for
five years I ate mud like all right
that's experience right there the final
fact for a few years fazoli's had the
sweetheart deal oh I'm looking at Nick
offered spaghetti for a year if you got
engaged inside fazoli's on Valentine's
Day I could not find any evidence that anyone has done this but if you got engaged inside Fazoli's on Valentine's Day. I could not find any
evidence that anyone has done this,
but if you have, please keep that
information to yourself because that's so
pathetic it should embarrass you to your
core. Well, Nick,
he looks embarrassed.
He's shaking his head no. See, the thing is,
he fucked up. He did it, but it wasn't Valentine's
Day. Oh, no.
He missed it. It's a real it's a
real two-fold it's a two-pronged thing and i was like oh yeah anyone could do that yeah yeah oh no
sir it's june 2nd so we're gonna have to ask you to leave
where's my spaghetti could you imagine that that is the thing that entices you spaghetti for a year
for a year that's not bad dude i'll give you i'll give you 100 and that will feed you spaghetti
for a year yeah spaghetti is like a dollar 10 a pound and a pound of spaghetti is a lot of fucking spaghetti
it might even be 2 pounds
dude spaghetti
is fucking cheap
and then when you make it you go I don't know I'm pretty hungry
let me throw more in there
and then you come back and you go where the fuck did all the spaghetti
come from
these gremlins who are tightening my shirts have put too much
spaghetti in the pot
the water gremlins made my spaghetti big
first they looked small and they didn't fill who are tightening my shirts have put too much spaghetti in the pot. The water gremlins made my spaghetti big. Yeah.
First they looked small
and they didn't fill the pot up
and now the pot's overflowing with it.
I thought,
what am I going to eat?
A couple of sticks?
Throw some more in.
And then somebody replaced my sticks with pasta.
Yeah.
It's thick, dude.
Spaghetti?
So what did you guys,
you guys learn a lot about fizzolis?
I learned some stuff, yeah. I mean, more than
I knew, which was zero. Right.
So you would say
that this was a fact section
where you got good facts, where you
learned about Fazoli's.
You could say that. I'll
bend to that. You know more about
Fazoli's than you did at the beginning.
This is the part where Eric says I made all this up.
I didn't make any of this up. These are all Fazoli's than you did at the beginning. This is the part where Eric says I made all this up. I didn't make any of this up. These are all Fazoli's facts.
I feel like you made
some of it up. Fax-Zoli's.
Should have called it that.
Damn it. You should have called it that, but then again,
he should have put the right sponsor in the copy as well.
Alright, alright.
Should have brought the cable too, but here we are.
I know. I mean, I already mentioned the cable.
You didn't have to go back there.
I know you didn't bring it.
You said Andrew took it.
Eric, you're crushing it lately.
Thanks, man.
Appreciate it.
And then with the fact section done, we move on to spit and silly.
I don't know, dude.
I felt like we spat a lot.
This just-
I like that most of our spits are,
uh,
Fazoli's based,
which I think is pretty cool.
Right.
We're doing really well.
This episode.
Sometimes we hit,
we hit the episode where I think we're on track and I go,
man,
we're only like 25,
30 minutes in and we're doing it.
And then the episode ends.
It's an hour and 10 minutes.
Right.
I was like,
how did that happen?
What happened?
This is going to be the one.
Yeah.
I'll tell, I'll tell you exactly what happens You guys start including segments
That aren't on the format sheet
That have no business being in
He's talking about the van
Are you talking about the van segment?
Alright let's move on to talking about vans
Because this is going to be a quick one
It's going to be a quick one
So as some of you may or may not know
And if you listen to this podcast you should know because we talked about it.
We did a Snack Attack 2, the live stream with video and everything that's available now.
You can watch that now.
It's out there.
It's in the world.
You know, maybe Nick will link it.
I don't know.
Do we do links?
Who knows?
He's shrugging.
I don't know.
He doesn't know.
Just Google Snack Attack 2, the snackening, and it'll probably come up. I don't know. He doesn't know. Just Google snack attack 2, the snackening,
and it'll probably come up.
Or it won't.
Anyway, we thought that would be the big reveal for the van,
and he didn't do it.
We didn't get the van.
I revealed vans.
There were vans.
That was nice.
There were vans.
Some fan vans.
Fan vans.
And I think the reality of the situation is we did the snack attack.
It was a nice, nice like regrouping.
We got to see each other in person.
We got some little vans.
Eric's just not going to get us a van
and we need to move on.
Yeah, I think I'm finally coming to terms
with the fact that we lost.
We lost.
And as we know, you can lose,
but you can also win if you just stop bringing it up.
Right, right.
That sounds like something a winner would say.
Yeah, so that's what we're going to do.
We're just coming to terms with the fact that Eric hates us
and never really wanted us to be happy.
Remember when I showed you all the vans?
Remember during Stack Attack?
Yeah, he faked being mad,
and then he brought in a fleet of vans.
A fleet!
It was a literal fleet. I think there was three
vans. Maybe four.
I'm looking at this
Fazoli's catering van that's parked in the
parking lot. I'm just thinking, Fazoli's has
a van. I'll tell you two things.
One, this drive-thru has not
stopped. It really hasn't.
People are tearing through this
Fazoli's. Two, that fazoli's van that is a
fucking fbi van from the soprano when you see a van like that yeah that's got a big fucking tomato
on it and they go fazoli's that's not real what is that it does indeed look like a fake company
there's a bunch of fucking agents in that van listening to something. Maybe this podcast. Maybe they
just wanted to get an early copy. I don't know.
Hi, if you're listening.
Hi, Agent Johnson.
That's all I'm saying. It's suspicious.
And that's that. He didn't get
the van. We win. I'm sorry.
What?
I agree with Michael. I'm sorry. Are you guys implying
that I lost somehow?
I'm just saying.
Someone lost, and it wasn't us.
Even though we didn't get what we wanted.
You figure it out.
It could be the audience.
Who's to say?
Crunch the numbers, nerd.
See, we were on track, and then you guys talked about Vans.
No, we're still on track. Well, no, what we did was talk about how good we're doing,
which is, I like kind of like stopping in the middle of the episode and being like, how do you think the episode's going?
Really well.
I think it's going great.
People should do that in TV shows and movies more often.
I think the scene's going really well.
Are you enjoying this episode so far?
I am.
It's not over.
How do you like it so far?
Yeah.
All right, well, buckle up.
Let me know by tweeting at Eric Badour.
Nope. Nope. You can maybe tag face jam pod as well that was the what do you mean that was the intro for the ad
oh we have those now well we've had them no i mean we have i mean yeah nick does a little
thing he does you listen to the show no yeah he yeah mean, yeah, Nick does a little thing. He does. Do you listen to the show?
No, yeah, he does a little thing.
Yeah, well, I was just trying to give him a break.
Like, maybe he'll use that.
Oh, I see.
Interesting.
He doesn't have to, you know, save him probably like an hour of work.
But when I do the theme song, everyone gets mad.
Right, because I'm not copying something poorly.
I'm just, that was an original piece.
What do you mean?
What do you think I was doing?
I'll be honest, Jordan.
I don't remember.
Do I read this next part or do you?
I read the food, right?
How does a show work?
You don't remember?
You read the facts.
I read the foods.
This is the Jordan section.
You read all the food.
Okay.
Yeah. Okay. That's why I asked. I didn the foods. This is the Jordan section. You read all the food. Okay. Yeah.
Okay.
That's why I asked.
I didn't want to step on toes.
I can only imagine a company like Fazoli's and what their press department is like.
Yep.
Because we've kind of run the gambit.
The Fazoli's gambit.
The Fazoli's gambit on these press releases.
And they go from big conglomerates to smaller restaurants.
And they're all pretty ridiculous.
So let's see what we got here.
So this is the description for, I don't know why it says Fusoli's Fusoli's Parmesan Crusted
Alfredo Baked with Meatballs, but I'm reading those words.
That's all over the place.
It's gamele pasta topped with Alfredo sauce, three Italian meatballs,
and baked with mozzarella cheese
and Parmesan panko breadcrumbs.
Fair enough.
That's an apt description.
I wouldn't say the Alfredo sauce was on top of what I ate,
but...
It wasn't.
Yeah, you're right.
It was very much...
It was in there.
Press material.
Fazzoli stays on top.
Oh, brother.
A bold claim.
I'm sad for them already.
Fazzoli stays on top by serving premium Italian dishes at the best value.
One of those things is true.
Also, aren't they American Italian dishes?
Yep.
They didn't specify that.
Yep.
Italian dishes at the best value,
said Director of Culinary Innovation, Rick Petrelia.
Mama Mia.
He sounds Italian.
Mama Mia, indeed.
I like that they have a Director of Culinary Innovation.
They're like one of the big dogs.
Each of our new Parmesan baked offerings
are perfect for those looking to find
an indulgent new comfort food that's also affordable.
Plus, with our Parmesan crusted Alfredo dish
featured on our five under $5 menu,
there is truly nowhere else to get such a craveable meal
at this exceptional value.
Truly, there is truly nowhere else to get such a craveable meal at this exceptional value. Truly.
There is truly nowhere else.
Every sentence, every sentence is the same thing.
Every sentence said the same thing.
Every sentence reminds you that this is cheap food.
This is cheap food for you to eat cheaply.
But it's a lot of cheap food.
It is.
Food, food, food, best value. Food, food, food best value. Food, food,
food affordable. Food, food,
food $5. Food,
food, food exceptional value.
It's true. What the fuck?
Calm down.
Calm down. They keep saying the word
like Parmesan baked offerings.
Parmesan Alfredo dish.
It's weird when restaurants describe food as offerings.
What does that mean?
It's food.
It's what they're offering to us, the customer.
It's a very capitalist way of looking at it.
It's just bizarre.
I'm a consumer.
I'm a goddamn customer.
I'm a paying customer.
I'm a big man with a big appetite.
Oh.
And there's only one place that I like to eat under $5.
And it's Fazoli's.
Don't look around, by the way.
If you get to Fazoli's, don't look around at all the other restaurants.
Find the Fazoli's and hone in.
I'm a big man and I wear blinders on the sides of my eyes like a horse.
Hook me up to the pasta trough and give me 12 breadsticks,
and I don't want a side of salad.
I want a side of pizza.
Yeah.
You can walk into Fasoli's with a 20 and say, load up the trough.
Because Piggy's eating tonight.
And then alarms go off, and they're like, we got a big spender.
Uh-oh.
This guy brought a 20
Quick aside this is like this is like the first parking lot recording where it's sunny and not raining
Oh, it's like yeah, but then but then you're complaining about like the shadows
So yeah, that's true was but there are a lot of monarch butterflies flying around do they like this?
I think they're migrating away from fizzle leaves But there are a lot of monarch butterflies flying around. Do they like fazollis?
I don't know.
I think they're migrating away from fazollis.
They're here.
There's something to be said.
They all went to Chick-fil-A.
They stopped at Chick-fil-A on their way down south.
Oh, man.
Anyway, it's just a nice day.
Next section.
How's the parking lot?
Having fun?
It's pretty good.
I don't know. I like the weather,? Having fun? It's pretty good. I don't know.
I like the weather, but there's some weird shading going on.
Should we mention the shade again?
It's hard to see Eric.
I'm here.
Hello.
There he is.
Uh-oh.
Hi. I see the sheen in his sunglasses.
You can't see me because I'm small.
I'm so small.
Yeah, you're small.
You're a small little guy.
I'm little.
I'm so small. You're a small little guy. I'm little. I'm so small.
You're a small little guy. Let me scoop you up.
You look like you could eat $5 worth of fazoles.
Eric, how much was, like, per meal?
Like, what was the cost?
I think it was around $9, roughly.
We blew that $5 out of the watch. You went in there, and you're saying you dropped, like, $9, roughly. We blew that five out of the water.
You went in there and you're saying you dropped like 40 bucks, dude?
Then we also got, we also have a syrup side.
But I mean, like, we got like a little pizza.
We got a little pizza as well.
Yeah, so we ate that.
We got a side of pizza.
That was one of the most intriguing parts of the restaurant is that you can get pizza as a side.
Nick said you can get a side salad or a side pizza.
Yeah, and that's when Jordan went, what?
I can't imagine anyone gets the side salad at Fazoli's.
I bet there's people that come to Fazoli's for the salad.
No.
It's a lot of Club 62ers on Wednesday.
They come.
What do they get again?
Do they get the spaghetti too?
Spaghetti and salad, yeah.
Yeah, they get spaghetti and salad.
Everybody gets the spaghetti.
If they're doing a promotion, you get the spaghetti.
They go, I eat the spaghetti and I give the salad to my grandson's rabbit.
Even the rabbit won't eat this.
The rabbit goes, is this from Fazoli?
No, thank you. this is terrible quality oh man
uh i want to like i'm like curious about like like what would it be like if you if you just
like parked in the corner uh inside the fazoli's on a wednesday and just counted how many club 62
was rolled through i bet it doesn't even have to be a wednesday i bet you get how many Club 62ers rolled through. I bet it doesn't even have to be a Wednesday.
I bet you get so many Club 62ers every day
of the week at this fucking place.
Do you think they call them 62ers?
I hope so. Well, they're experienced eaters.
Don't forget.
You must address them with the respect they deserve.
Oh, hello, sir. Let me give you an offering
for experienced eaters.
One spaghetti inside salad for you.
Give me the spaghetti!
As reward for being
over the age of 62,
here is your salad
and spaghetti.
Your experience precedes you, sir.
Holy shit.
I've heard tale of this eater
from far and wide.
Mervin, he's here and he's eating his spaghetti.
And they don't even get meatballs with that.
Nope.
Nope.
The meatballs is extra.
And also, the meatballs is dog.
Yes.
Should we review the food?
Yeah, I suppose so.
I think that's the point of the show.
You're itching to.
Here's what it looks like.
You want to see?
Blah.
Oh, I forgot to take pictures of the food.
Don't worry.
What the fuck?
I told you this is a cursed episode.
What is happening?
It's just you.
Go in there and order it again.
I'm falling apart.
Yeah, you need to take a picture of the fresh pizza.
Yeah, the pizza's gone, but I have some leftover past for you.
Oh, I got plenty of pasta leftover.
Bunch of eaten pasta.
Really good.
Dude, the social team's going to love this.
Yeah, they're going to get this and be like, I'm not posting this.
Yeah, right.
Sorry, guys. Yeah. They're going to get this and be like, I'm not posting this. Yeah, right. Sorry, guys.
Okay.
So before I dug into the pasta, which was the main attraction.
Offering.
You can say it.
You're right.
Offering is more an apt word than attraction.
Yep.
Offering is more an apt word than attraction.
Yep.
But after being offered this food,
I dug into the pizza first because I didn't want that to get cold.
And it tasted like pretty much like you would get
at a pizza buffet like a Double Dave's or a Cici's
where it's like not real pizza. It's Uncanny Valley pizza. It's like, like not real pizza.
It's uncanny Valley pizza.
It's like rubber pizza.
Yeah.
And it's like,
it's worse than pizza hut,
but it's close.
Yeah.
But at least pizza huts putting in at least like the bare minimum effort
where this is just like throw it under the heat lamp.
Let it sit.
Let it sit until this guy picks it up.
Before you guys got here,
me and Nick were talking about it,
and I said it just tastes like the word pizza.
Like, yeah.
Like it all, when you said uncanny valley of pizza,
I feel like that's perfect because it looks like the idea of pizza,
and it tastes like the idea of pizza,
but at no point would I go, yum, I love this pizza.
Yeah.
It's not, like, bad.
It's not good.
It is fine.
It's pizza at its lowest, like, form.
Yeah.
It's pizza at its lowest form before being bad pizza.
Yes.
Like, this is gross.
This tastes bad.
It's just like, eh, it's pizza. Yes. This is gross. This tastes bad. It's just like, eh, it's pizza.
Yep. Yeah. If it was
a macaroni and cheese pizza,
which I can imagine what this tastes
like, it would be bad pizza.
But it's saved by being cheese
and pepperoni. Yep.
The crust was also very weirdly
salty. Mm-hmm.
Very salty crust, which is
a new experience in eating
pizza. Usually it's dusted with
garlic and stuff, but
offering of salt.
Don't mind if I do.
That's the herbs and spices.
The herbs and spices. Salt.
And then I also dug into the
breadstick. I got
two breadsticks, but I wanted to save
one for the past.
And that looks like an olive garden breadstick and tastes like a fake olive garden breadstick it was like
they were like they they probably ordered some breadsticks from olive garden took it back to
their like uh test kitchen and were like deconstruct and recreate.
And they like did the best they could.
And it's like,
just,
just below that.
So it's like,
they tried their best.
It just tastes like a rip off of all of garden,
uh,
breadstick.
I would say cheddar bait biscuit is way better than this.
Just in case anyone was wondering.
Damn.
Right.
I bet they were, they probably were.
And then you dig into the pasta,
which at this point was all nice and greenhouse gas affected
by the cover, it was just like all condensation
when I opened it, It was like almost water.
But at this point, the top had formed a nice coagulation of cheese topping that almost came off in one piece, if not for the scattering of meatballs to interrupt it.
Right, yeah, kind of break it up.
Yeah.
I could see the panko breadcrumbs were present,
and underneath was the bed of pasta with a couple of diced tomatoes strewn about.
So I dug in and got a taste with the cheese and the pasta,
and I was like, not bad.
Cheesy.
Okay. And then I was like, not bad. Cheesy. Okay.
And then I was like, how's this pasta taste by itself?
And I took a bite.
And I was like, that was nothing.
How's this pasta taste by itself?
Took a bite.
It didn't taste like anything.
The pasta has no flavor.
Yeah.
The pasta is straight carbohydrate.
Yep.
In pasta form.
Yep. And I was like,
sauce is supposed to come with this, right?
I couldn't find any sauce.
It wasn't until the end that I found,
I think it might have been lopsided
and all of it went to one corner of the dish.
And I found a good pocket
where I could get my breadstick
and try to soak up some of that Alfredo sauce.
But it's too late at this point.
The cheese was gross and all coagulated the pasta has no flavor the meatballs were fine
like they're a little spicy but it definitely reads as low quality food that you know was
worth every penny of the five dollars yeah it is what it is it is what it is it's what's it's it's true uh i would give it man
should i take the pizza into account or just this special thing i'm just gonna do the pasta
like at first i was like side of pizza that's like 50 minimum but removing that from the equation, this is like, I don't know, but 34.
34.
34.
Okay.
Just bad.
Okay.
I'm going to agree.
It was pretty bland.
I think the thing with the most flavor out of all of it was the breadstick.
The breadstick, yeah.
You know, it definitely is like a replica Olive Garden breadstick the breadstick yeah yeah you know it it definitely
is like a replica olive garden breadstick but it's a little sadder it's it's a little softer
but not i don't know it's not a good soft it's not as dense it's a little more hollow it's yeah
it's just kind of like brant yeah it goes brant when you eat it but it had the flavor you know
like you were eating it and you could taste the shit that they covered it in.
But yeah, the pizza was whatever.
And the pasta was absolutely flavorless.
Definitely could have used, and I'm a cheese man, could have used more sauce and less cheese.
Yep, I agree with that.
It actually shocked me how much cheese there was because I feel like I don't know anything about the restaurant industry, but I feel like they're always going, no, less cheese will save money.
You know, they don't just throw cheese all willy nilly and giving it away.
If it's cheap cheese.
They did it.
They did it.
I mean, it might be.
They did it.
I didn't have as much as a coagulation as you did, but I also ate the pasta first.
did it. I didn't have as much as a coagulation as you did, but I also ate the pasta
first.
The
meatball was probably
the tastiest thing in that dish.
There were three of them. They weren't
bad. But all in all, I'd
say it's pretty on brand for what it is.
It's drive-thru
pasta. I've never had
drive-thru pasta before, but this
is what I imagine it tastes like.
And they didn't disappoint. It's definitely this is what I imagine it tastes like. Yes. Yeah.
And they didn't disappoint.
It's definitely not worse than I thought it would be.
Yeah, but I wasn't surprised. I didn't have high expectations, but you always have that, maybe it'll be really good somehow.
It wasn't.
But it is a cheap meal.
It is a drive-thru.
I wasn't expecting a 100.
I'll give it 48.
Yeah.
Okay.
It's an average score of 41.
It's a pretty 40.
It's a pretty 40.
Yeah, I guess.
I was hoping low 30s.
Yeah, sorry, man.
Or high 30s at least.
Sorry.
You should have scored it lower.
It's okay.
I'm just disappointed in you.
It's fine.
Yeah, well, you didn't get four breadsticks, though.
He gave me four.
Yeah, I only got two.
Like a chunk.
Yeah, sorry.
I didn't realize that I had so many left over.
There's a lot.
I was just thinking about this.
I tend to be like, I really like textures and stuff.
So I thought I'd be pretty happy with this,
because it has interesting textures with the pasta
and the, you're still eating breadsticks and like the bread
crumbs and the meatballs but
it was not enough
like as much as I enjoy texture food
it's I need you need
flavor as well and it was just
not there it was lacking
yeah I wonder what our
side is do we want to guess while I get it
I will say I hope it's not
wine because then we all
need to get right home.
All right,
what the fuck is this?
Welcome back.
We just came through hell.
Hang on.
Guys,
I'm taking a picture.
I'm taking a picture.
Hang on.
It looks like tofu.
I forgot I was talking
and my microphone
was in my lap.
You got some sort of pie.
Okay.
What does it say on the sheet?
I'm going to guess a pumpkin pie.
Oh, if Eric's the one picking it, it's most certainly pumpkin.
It says, the Cheesecake Factory pumpkin cheesecake.
Wow.
Is it written somewhere?
Yeah.
Are you kidding me?
Oh, I like threw it away.
Oh shit, look at that.
Because I thought we were done.
Pumpkin cheesecake on a graham cracker crust made by the cheesecake factory bakery drizzled
with gurdeli salted caramel sauce.
How'd they get in cheesecake factory food?
What's that about?
How's this deal working?
Like, this is Fazoli's.
Yeah.
That's cheesecake factory. Cheesecake factory has heard of's that about? How's this deal working? Like, this is Fazoli's. Yeah. That's Cheesecake Factory.
Cheesecake Factory has heard of Fazoli's?
Or did they just go out and buy it and like-
Give us the answers.
It's like a chicken shack deal from Long Beach, whatever that place was, where they were getting
the Popeye's chicken and reselling it.
They're just going out and buying the Cheesecake Factory cheesecake and being like, now at
Fazoli's.
You know, Fazoli's and Cheesecake Factory, and being like, now at Fazoli's. You know, Fazoli's
and Cheesecake Factory, two giant
names in the industry finally teaming
up together to bring you an
incredible food. What do you think
of the pumpkin
cheesecake? I didn't eat it yet.
It smells like pumpkin.
Mine's very wet.
Wait until you figure out what it tastes
like. I hope it tastes like pumpkin.
It might surprise you.
Mine doesn't want to open.
It's so fucking wet.
Why?
Why is it wet?
It's so wet.
It's very mushy.
I would say the flavor is about 10% pumpkin, 90% caramel.
A very sweet treat for somebody
like me who only likes sweet things.
Dude. The lowest common
denominator. If you're throwing
like a
Club 62 member,
like you're throwing them this, they're dead.
Dude, they're dead, yeah. Their heart's gonna start racing.
This is a death sentence, dude.
Their type 2 diabetes is gonna flare
the fuck up, they're toast. One bite. You know a death sentence, dude. Their type 2 diabetes is gonna flare the fuck up their toast. One bite.
You know. It's not bad.
It's not bad, but it's so
mushy. Yeah, I wish I'd gotten it fresh
instead of it sitting in Eric's car for about an hour
and a half. Like, like, legitimately
that, I think this was the firmness that
it was when we got it. Gross.
It was, it was not cold.
It was not cold.
I don't, I don't want to keep eating it then.
I mean, there's flavor for sure.
Yeah.
It's fine.
It's like a 65.
I'm going to give it a 65.
It's not bad.
It's not a good pumpkin pie though.
Yeah, it would taste better if it were more pumpkin and also not mush.
I'm going to
knock off a couple points for how
unpumpkiny it is. I'm going to give it a
53.
Wow. And I also, you know,
it's too sweet. He doesn't like how sweet it is.
Very sweet. Average score of 59.
I think that's fair.
I think that's fair.
It's good. I think
that if it was at Cheesecake Factory and you were getting it at Cheesecake Factory
and it didn't come from Fazoli's, it would be fresher and better and not from Fazoli's.
Here's the thing.
I'm choking on the crust.
Here's the thing.
Not only would it be better, but I don't doubt for a second they didn't downgrade their food before they sent
it on over to fazoli oh absolutely yeah that's not how it works you don't you don't get the same
thing you don't you don't get name brand outside of the the name they go we'll give you the shitty
like the the fucking we'll give you the cheesecake the interns made yeah the leftovers
yep or like yeah the last year's ingredients or whatever.
Yeah.
Well, they don't want people going to Frizzoli's for cheesecake.
They want to go to Cheesecake Factory.
It's good enough where you eat it and you go,
I should go get the real one at Cheesecake Factory.
Yeah.
That's what I vote like eating the pastas.
I should go get real pasta.
Yeah.
I'll say about this pasta though.
There's a lot.
I'm not saying whether that's good or not,
but if you want a lot of food for five bucks,
there's so I'm so full and I probably didn't even eat half.
Yeah.
If you're just trying to get,
if you're trying to get full for cheap,
this will get the job done.
Yep.
Yeah.
I don't know that you're going to be stoked about it.
You will get full.
You won't be.
But you'll just kind of go like, maybe I should have gotten something else.
It's strictly like pragmatic utilitarian approach.
It's like, I'm hungry.
I need food.
I don't care what goes into me.
This will get the job done.
All the Club 62ers at Face Jam love it, though, so it's fine.
Jordan's eloquent.
So, guys.
Oh, we did it.
Yeah. What's on top
of this on top of
this cheesecake is it
like a cream cheese
icing I think it's I
think it's just I
think it's just whipped
cream I think you're
tasting I don't know
it's a little no it's
no it's pretty dense
yeah it's no way it's
just whipped cream
there's something in
there you're wrong
well that was a
surprise but if you
want to send us
snacks if you want to send us snacks you
can send us snacks send it
to face jam care of Eric
Badour 1901 East 51st
Street Austin Texas 78723
we just did the snack
attack so we we are low
on snacks I'm not saying
hey you absolutely have to
send something I'm saying
if you want to now it's
probably the time here's
the other thing don't send
bugs I just throw them
away I don't look at the
card I don't get more bugs yeah we got bugs and I just throw them away. I don't look at the card. I don't care. You get more bugs? Yeah, we got bugs.
And I just threw them away.
It's not funny. You're wasting your money.
Please don't send us bugs. It's not the first time I've said
this. Don't send us bugs.
You have said it multiple times. Yes.
I've said it. And guess what? We still get bugs.
It's not funny. It's funny that
you throw them away.
Well, here's the thing.
If you send multiple things and one of them is bugs, I'm probably just going to toss all of it because it's not funny.
Just don't send bugs at all.
Don't try to sneak bugs.
Don't try to just send bugs.
Yep.
And if you're hearing this and being like, everyone else is dumb, but when I do, it'll be funny.
Guarantee you it's not.
You are the problem.
I immediately throw them away.
I don't know. You could be the one that cuts through the noise you could be the funny one uh-huh just saying
waka waka maybe yep maybe you know uh honestly i i don't care enough to just to stop anyone
because it's not me getting the bugs but well the trash can getting the bugs it is the trash
getting the bug for a while it was jeremy getting the bugs j It is the trash can getting the bugs. For a while, it was Jeremy getting the bugs.
Jeremy ate the bugs.
But now I don't see Jeremy, so he can't eat the bugs.
It's not worth going to his place for a bug drop ball.
No, no.
How am I going to drop him off stuff?
In my own car like an idiot?
No.
I'm not carrying bugs in my car.
They might break free.
Yep.
So again, I already brought it up,
but Snack Attack 2, the snackening,
is up on Rooster Teeth.
We talked about it earlier, but it is up now on rooster teeth go check out snack attack 2 the snackening it was
very good it was a lot of fun there were surprises pitbull was there uh there was uh in a way uh-huh
yeah and then we had a the spice rat shirt reveal and all kinds of cool stuff you can follow at
wasn't as good as the first one though though. You like the first one better?
I mean, it's not my opinion. It's just a fact.
It was good.
The audience let us know that it was fine,
but not as good. I just, again, I'm being
honest. If you like the first one, you'll probably
like this one a little bit less.
Yeah. But you'll still
like it. I thought it was fun.
It was fun. But the whole time,
despite it being different,
the whole time we were very safe and tested negative.
And it was very safe.
I think that's what dampened the fun a little bit.
Because I couldn't lick you like I wanted to.
Yeah, you kept telling us that you were going to suck our fingers.
Like it was.
Yeah, I know.
And I couldn't.
And that's fine.
Because without that, then it wouldn't exist at all.
Yep. So I think for the circumstances we were under, it's as good as it could have been.
I think it was very good.
I'm nodding.
We couldn't run free and do whatever we want.
Correct.

No, that sounds great.
I've never been wrong in my life, so I don't know that.
Hey, you sound confidently incorrect.
There was a comment on the Snaggiting that was like,
they should just do this all the time.
Audio only and eating on a podcast is such a dumb idea.
And everyone was like, you clearly don't listen to the podcast.
I think I replied to that guy and I just said, this comment rules.
Then Eric loaded him up and shot him into space.
Yep.
Sorry, baby.
Enjoy space.
That's just whipped cream. Yeah. Sorry, baby. Enjoy space. Anyway.
