Need a great reason to get up in the morning?
Well, what about two?
Right now, get a small, organic Fairtrade coffee
and a tasty bacon and egger breakfast sandwich
for only $5 at A&W's in Ontario.
This is a Rooster Teeth production.
Welcome to Face Jam, the show where we try every new fast food creation to let you know if you need it, you probably do.
Thanks to DoorDash and Honey for making this show possible.
I'm your host, Michael Jones.
Diagonally alongside my co-host, Jordan Sweers.
Jordan, how are you?
I can't really see you at all.
Yeah, I can't see you either, but that's okay.
It's a new day.
I'm feeling positive. Well, there we go.
If I lean this way, I can see you.
Are you comfortable doing that?
No, not at all.
You're practically leaning your head into your window.
Yeah, I was going to lean my head out the window, and then I stopped.
That's good.
You're a little froggy today.
I don't need that.
I'm a little froggy? Ooh. Yeah't need that. I'm a little froggy.
Ooh. Yeah. Is that a new animal that we have? Ribbit, ribbit.
Hey, hey. Someone kiss me.
I'm a prince.
I'm so glad you put that in my lap.
Ribbit.
I'm a prince, I swear.
I'm not just a frog.
Kiss me.
Michael, you're a horny toad.
Oh my God.
I would never.
That's childish.
Today, we are reviewing Jack in the Box Popcorn Chicken.
Pretty basic.
Pretty just.
Wow.
Popcorn Chicken.
It's a real banger of an episode.
Following the circus.
Yeah.
Yeah, now we're in the box.
After eating too much
food, this was a very light meal.
It was pretty light. I didn't know how long
we were going to wait to get into that.
It was a large box
and then there was
a lot of air inside it. Half empty.
I feel duped. Probably more than half,. Half empty. I feel duped.
Probably more than half, quite honestly.
I definitely feel duped by Jack in the Box.
Definitely seems like there was room for fries.
I don't even understand.
Who puts popcorn chicken in a box?
Seems weird to me.
Usually you get the tall containers.
Yeah, that's what KFC does.
Makes it fun.
They have, you can get the.
That you can get the...
It's just like popcorn.
They have small and then they have the 50-50 big box, like the mix.
So they have spicy popcorn chicken.
So what did you get?
That's what I got.
Oh, that was a big box? I don't understand how this was like $7 something for like what would have just been two small orders of popcorn chicken and nothing else.
$7 and you don't even get fries.
No.
Yeah.
$7 for no fries. I'm going to say sometimes it takes some time to actually circle back around and get to the food. This is
just straight bitching.
Let's straight complaining
about what we ordered. I'm pretty
upset about it.
Hey, let's
write the food at the top and then just
fuck off for the rest of the episode.
Yeah, it was one of those large
rectangular boxes you'd open
up and you'd expect to find the entree and a bunch of fries and maybe the sauce in the box as well.
And it just seemed like a total waste of the box.
I would say it was probably 25% filled.
Yeah, I agree.
Yeah, it looks like they just kind of dumped them out like it was a Nazi dice roll and they just like put it in the box.
I'll say even eating it aside, it just looks very underwhelming.
It's a weird choice by Jack in the Box.
You open it up and your first inclination is this is it?
Yeah.
When I told you guys the price, it was just everyone's jaws dropping.
Like they like for that?
What the fuck?
$5 for the box.
$5 for a foot long. Something to consider.
And this is more than
that for little chicky pieces.
Little chicky feces.
Box was definitely not a foot
in length. What?
Look at his big fucking smile.
Oh,
smiling.
The popcorn chicken. That frog over there. Oh, smiling. The popcorn chicken.
That frog over there.
Yeah, dude.
Can you see how big I can make my mouth?
I can't.
You need to lean your head out the window again.
I'm frogging it.
Funny.
I'm frognecking it right now.
Nice visual gag for the audio podcast.
That's why I'm explaining it, Jordan.
You didn't let me get to the part where I explained it.
I'm a little bit worried right now that we're getting too close to being a food review podcast.
Uh-oh, you're right.
You don't have to back off.
How do we rectify this?
Let's slow things down.
What everybody did last night.
Let's get back off track.
Man, past experience with the restaurant. The last time we did the episode yeah we've done jack in
the box right yeah we've done it before and we will have that's when i had it we'll have more
about that in the fact section whoa uh jack was the last time wait that was the last time you had
jack in the box yeah it's not one of those go-to's this guy doesn't go to jack in the Box? Yeah. I don't ever go to Jack in the Box. This guy doesn't. You go to Jack in the Box? Jack in the Box kind of guy?
I don't mess with Jack.
Is it?
Yeah.
You eat fast food more than most people that I know.
Yeah, that's true.
To not have Jack in the Box in that register is very shocking to me.
No, it's not.
I don't like his ice cream head, dude.
Yeah.
Hey, what is he?
Is he a clown?
Is he a jester?
Well, he's a jack in the box.
Oh, I think he's a fucking jack in the box.
But he looks like an ice cream head.
Those are usually. Hang on.
Hang on.
Nick just went, oh.
Yeah, I can't tell.
Here's the thing about him.
Uh-huh.
He's getting a lot of attention.
Uh-huh.
He's getting a big head.
I don't know if that was real or not. Ooh, hey. Or he's like, I'm going to do my bit now. He's hamm a lot of attention. He's getting a big head. I don't know if that was real or not.
Or he's like, I'm going to do my bit now.
He's hamming it up.
I can't tell anymore.
If you think he's getting a lot of attention now,
wait until we get deeper into the episode.
There is a secret surprise in this episode that is monkey related.
A secret surprise.
All right, now I'm excited again.
That was a tease for the audience and the hosts.
Yeah.
My favorite thing about this show is
knowing nothing except I'm gonna get to eat.
Right, right, but then you eat
the food and you go, that's it?
Yeah, I didn't,
as soon as I saw it, I said,
wonder where I'm stopping on the way home.
And then Nick said it.
Yep, he knows. Nick, Nick Nick, the biweekly mantra of I've eaten too much.
And then he doesn't eat too much and he goes, I better stop somewhere else so I can say I've eaten too much before I get home.
I haven't eaten enough.
Oh, by the way, you know who's editing this episode?
Nick.
Oh, and then how about the next one, Nick?
Nick.
Oh.
Did he shrug?
Why'd he shrug?
I think Kelly might be coming back to do a little bit of work for Face Jam.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Interesting.
Well, now that we know that in advance, we can work out a way for her to come here and
get the food instead of Nick.
Oh.
Or maybe they both come and they split it.
Nick didn't like that idea. He doesn't like it, no.
We gotta get her here for one of them
though, right? Yeah, we gotta try, you know?
I feel like we owe it to her.
I also feel like it's not that
it's not really like a try. It's like
hey, come here and we'll buy lunch.
She can say yes or no.
Do you want to eat $7 worth of
popcorn chicken?
It's not as much as you think.
$7.
Bring something else, I guess.
Trust me, you are.
Bring your own fries.
Yeah, it's about as much effort as it took to get Nick originally to come eat, which is just ask.
Yep.
Oh, I didn't ask.
Look, it was early. We were young. Yep. Oh, I didn't ask. Look, it was early.
We were young.
Yep.
Thin.
Yeah, those were the young.
In experience.
We weren't experienced eaters yet.
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
We would not have made it to the Fazoli's Experienced Eaters Club.
But now.
Oh, baby.
Now we run the joint.
Speaking of Fazoli's, I almost threw up in my mouth.
And to further stay off topic of this episode's, I almost threw up in my mouth.
And to further stay off topic of this episode.
Same thing whenever I think of that place.
The Fazoli's, we got animated shorts now, Face Jam.
Oh, that's right.
And the Fazoli's one just came out where that woman was screaming,
ooh, ooh, ee, ee, monkey, monkey.
That just came out.
So you can now watch that in animated bliss.
You could watch her turn into some kind of zombie monster.
Yeah.
She goes crazy.
We keep it cool, though.
We stay cool, level-headed.
Oh, yeah.
How many of those animated shorts are coming out, Jordan?
Do you know?
Eight.
A million, right?
Oh, not a million?
Wow.
That's a run of eight.
And then if everyone watches it and says good, nice things about it, we'll do more.
How do you know anything about animation?
I'm like a big fan.
Oh, that makes sense.
He's a fan of their work.
I go on HBO Max and I watch Looney Tunes a lot.
And so I know that there's eight episodes.
We were talking last weekend about Fantastic Mr. Fox and what's his fucking name?
George Clooney.
Who's the director guy?
Why can't I remember his name?
Wes Anderson.
And how somebody had said that he wasn't very present on the set for animation.
And I was like, probably because he doesn't know what the fuck to do.
So he's probably just leaving it to the professionals.
Like the reverse of that, the reverse of that would be, hey guys, I'm Wes Anderson.
I don't know a fucking thing about this, but I'm going to fuck this shit up.
Here we go.
What if he just, if he ran around just like pushing buttons and turning knobs.
Yeah.
And he's like, you need more juice.
Stop touching the figures.
What are you doing?
It's supposed to be animated.
Why aren't they moving faster? They have to move more.
This is a long movie.
He'd walk in and he'd go,
this is disgusting. I walked into the
studio and it was a bunch of people just drawn
in their notebooks. Get back to
work.
Where's the cameras?
This is a mess.
So yeah, go check out
the Face Jam animated shorts.
There's really good.
I can't believe,
I was really excited
that when the newest one came out,
a comment that I saw
on the Rooster Teeth site
was someone saying,
oh man,
I hope you guys do
the McMillions bit.
And I just replied, you serious?
And they replied,
quickly learned that you have already done this.
Thank you, I like it.
It's weird science.
And we're back.
Great segue.
Here's the thing.
If there's not a clean edit, it's going to be weird.
So I'll just say it
i was hacked oh man russians i got laptop problems today
i i can't look at anyone i can only stare this way at my computer to see if it stops
just so you guys go ahead those clothes clothes shrinking gremlins are getting into your computer now.
Oh, no.
They're out of the clothes and into the computers.
They're shrinking my processing space?
I was just going to be an error in process.
Look, this is nerd talk now.
Let's get into cool talk.
Jordan, hit us with the haiku for Jackbox.
Jackbox.
Jack in the box.
All right.
I'm losing it.
Our haiku is, in this box all right i'm losing it our haiku is in this box they cook jumbo and tiny foods till
pop goes the weasel not some of your best work who's the what do you mean the jack in the box
dude am i the weasel that might be a copywritten song I don't know if we can sing that it's on the
radio it's fine here's the thing we're talking about if it plays on the radio uh-huh it's free
right no no right now I don't know I don't know what my car's not telling me what uh-huh don't
play any songs I'm not playing anything, dude.
You need to quit.
Quit playing games with my heart.
The haiku was inspired by the last time we went to Jack in the Box and we saw those very sad employees.
Oh, that's right.
It just made me wonder, like, how long can they be cooking that food
until they just lose it?
Yeah.
They pop like the weasel.
I'm the weasel.
I'm about to pop.
Well, that's good, right? Doesn't the weasel want to pop or he doesn't want to pop no he does want to pop yeah yeah
the weasel says pop me
we got weasels we got frogs this was a very different jack-in-the-box that i went to this
time to get this food and everyone was nice and happy. Happy employees? Oh, they were? Maybe they already
popped. I think it was, I think that
they were happy and polite because they knew they were pulling
a fast one on me by not giving me fucking french
fries.
They pranked you so good. They're like,
this fucking idiot doesn't even know.
This guy just spent $28
on half a box
of chicken. Fucking moron.
And it was like, oh, thank you.
Oh, yeah, I do want buttermilk ranch.
Thank you.
And they just laughed at me as I drove away.
So good for them.
Way to go, Jack in the Box.
Good haiku, Jordan.
Pop, pop me.
There you go.
Michael, you still with us?
Yeah.
That's always a good.
The heavy sigh before is always a good sign.
Look, there's so many moving parts here.
In a computer?
Computers are pretty digital.
It's pretty ones and zeros, you know?
It's kind of on-off, like binary, you know?
I think that's his problem.
His computer is very mechanical.
Oh, it's a big steampunk computer?
Why'd you bring a steampunk machine?
That's fucked up.
You know it runs on steam.
He's got carbon monoxide poisoning.
It explains a lot.
He stopped hand cranking the computer.
Look, we can only riff on your computer for so long, Michael.
Please tell us you're with us.
Yeah, it can only be gold for so long.
He's just shaking his head.
We're science.
So this was part of Snack Attack, which, I mean, we can do Snack Attack real quick if you want to.
This is wild.
My MacBook is shitting its pants, and we're struggling, and the vibe is off now.
Right.
Do you want to do Snack Attack, or do you want to just do the monkey surprise?
You tell me.
Okay.
All right.
We're going to do the monkey surprise.
I'm about to start raging like a monkey. It was part of Snack Attack, but to do the monkey surprise. I'm about to start raging like a monkey.
It was part of snack attack, but this is the monkey surprise.
I'll read the note.
Nick looks intrigued.
This is from Jason in Escondido, who sent in the snack for today as well.
Said, also, this is after he introduces the snack.
I've sent in a train conductor's hat for the monkey.
What does it say on it?
360 degrees.
Okay.
Why?
The hat is an actual train engineer's hat
for the best audio engineer slash sauce monkey.
Oh.
I won it in a Twitter giveaway from a company on the hat,
so if you don't want to wear it you don't have to
But you wanted to give it to us anyway
So now we have people
Who are sending in monkey costume pieces
That's good
I mean look saves me money
So thank you Jason
As long as we're not buzz marketing
Some tech company
I mean that's probably what it is
But it is really a train conductor's hat.
It's floppy.
This is what I had to wear.
It was the whole thing when I was a train conductor.
Eric, you were a train conductor.
Yeah.
So here it is.
That's the most you're just going to gloss over that.
Yeah.
What?
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
Explain conductor.
Do you mean you were a train conductor at the mall?
Like, no, a little kiddie ride. I was a train conductor at the mall like no little kiddie ride i was a
train conductor at a zoo we had a train i was close we had a little train and i drove the train
and i gave a little speech retalking to a microphone and you tell jokes about the animals
that you go by what was your speech were there monkeys there were 50 monkeys at the zoo um and nick's holding up his severed
monkey head he got excited he's thinking about his brothers and sisters uh no they look like
monkeys uh was this at the san diego zoo no this is at the santa ana zoo in beautiful santa ana
california right off the uh five freeway ah, get all those toxic fumes from the cars.
Yes, absolutely.
Let those animals breathe that in.
The camels were just breathing it in all day, every day.
Just sucking down the fumes.
So, yeah, I was a train conductor.
This is the kind of hat I had to wear.
And then I would give a speech.
And I worked with a guy named John who was from Chicago.
And he gave a cool speech like this.
That's the way he talked.
It was great.
Well, that's just swell.
You were saying this earlier because, I mean,
Nick's getting a big head with the monk.
Definitely.
And now he's got monkey paraphernalia being sent to him.
Now there's people who are sending monkey costume pieces.
I like it.
Dude, dress this man up.
Soon he's gonna be
able to dress himself however he wants instead of just in the costumes we picked for him i'm not
gonna discourage people from finding monkey costume pieces especially hats i think hats is
the big thing and like sending them in i'm not saying don't do that i'm just saying that like
make sure make sure it's good yeah make sure it's good but Yeah, make sure it's good. But also, I like how we keep calling him monkey costume pieces
just because he's a monkey.
But it's just a hat.
Yeah.
It really has...
Hey, do you have a monkey hat?
It's true.
It's an engineer hat,
not a monkey engineer hat.
I bought him a jacket,
not a monkey jacket.
Although I do think a monkey would look good in it.
I do. I agree.
I think that's a cool monkey jacket.
Totally.
That's like an Aladdin-style Abu when he's Prince Ali. I think that's a cool monkey jacket. Totally. That's like an Aladdin
style Abu
when he's Prince Ali.
Like that's what he would wear.
He'd be like
and I'm in the dark
I'm in the black parade.
We gotta get a fez.
I'm gonna get a fez
for the monkey.
You look really good
in a fez.
I mean we're back on track.
We're rolling you know.
Do you want to get back
into just the episode?
Let's get back into it
until it crashes again.
Let's get back into it. Do we put that at the end do we pay that at the end, or we just leave that there
No, no leave it there fuck it
Later from Jason
Oh, oh, ee, ee.
Monkey, monkey, monkey.
What is happening?
Did your computer die?
All right, fact us. I'm monitoring.
I'll tell you when it dies, okay?
Okay, you let me know.
Here's what happens.
When it starts dying, I'll quickly say nothing
and try and fix it without you having to derail the show.
But then at 60 seconds, I got to call it.
Okay.
And it was like, time of death,
it's gone.
It's over.
A-systily.
Maybe now Jordan
doesn't have to write
another haiku like we talked about.
Yeah, no, he's just got
the one haiku
about the weasel popping.
I have another one
if you want me to read it.
Yeah, yeah!
I work fast.
This is the best episode
we've ever done.
Can I just say,
thank God we're recording it early.
Yeah, right?
A lot of edit time. All right.
In the court of Jack, Jester's sling jumbo-sized bergs.
Whoa, okay.
All right.
Well, I don't know.
Maybe I might be.
Nick's hands are up as if to say, not me. No, guys, you don't
understand. Michael is hiding.
He's a big white head.
I think my computer stopped
again.
I think maybe we just
played that first haiku twice.
I knew this one
was going to ruffle the feathers
Swear science
Oh no
Oh no
Oh man
Oh I didn't read the clown emoji at the end
Oh
That makes sense.
What's that?
Oh, this?
This is just a delicious can of Coke with coffee caramel.
Thanks for sponsoring this episode of Face Jam.
Hey, you could.
That was a test.
Dude, I fucking wish.
Cake Coke sent us stuff.
Imagine, that's a little sample.
We send that sample to Coke and say,
the ball's in your court.
Mr. Pemberton.
I'll be honest, I never drink soda.
I had one of those, the vanilla one, with coffee because I like coffee,
and that is a decent little soda.
It's a tasty little treat.
Yeah.
Keeps me going when this is happening.
Whatever this is. Whatever this is.
Is this going to be a lost episode?
Can we release this in two years?
The best episode
of Face Jam we've ever done.
I think what happened is
there started to be some hiccups and it was like,
uh-oh, this is awkward. And then it went
so far where it was
enjoyable. And then Jordan said
some stuff that's probably not in the episode anymore.
And it just kind of set the tone.
Do you think the people are listening to this going,
what second haiku are they talking about?
The people will demand it.
Clown emoji.
Hong Kong.
Let's get into the facts.
Oh, my God.
That's still part of this show.
Yeah, can you believe it?
Hang on.
I'm going to, again, if I look away from my computer more than 20 seconds, I get nervous.
Stare at the computer, but also look at your sheet.
All right.
I can get them both in the frame.
Okay, you can do it.
I called my eyes the frame.
I like it.
You're a cinemaphile.
I'm like Wes Anderson.
I think I was recording that part. I'm not sure.
Okay.
Jack in the Box facts. Here we go.
Something's happening.
Our previous Jack in the Box episode was released
February 4th, 2020
where we ate tiny tacos
and loaded tiny tacos. It received
an average score of 65.15.
That was the one with the Sonic. Oh, a mess and loaded tiny tacos. It received an average score of 65.15.
That was the one with the Sonic.
Oh, a mess of a score, you say?
Oh, interesting.
Yeah, Jordan probably gave some silly rating.
Yeah, that one's on me, sorry.
That was a long time ago.
Now I see why you were freaking out.
Freaking out!
That I hadn't had Jack in the Box.
It's over a year.
It's a long time.
I don't go.
Again, I don't like his ice cream head.
I know what he's supposed to be, but it looks like an ice cream head.
Yeah.
Too white.
A little off-putting.
Yeah.
How about some chocolate?
Always Jack-in-the-box vanilla.
And then he's got the little fucking dunce cap on his head.
It looks like a little cone.
It's true.
It does.
Yeah.
Looks like a weird, freako ice cream, man. Somebody dropped a giant scoop of ice cream onto the body of a human
and decided this was a mascot.
It's true.
Although, I seem to recall, I don't remember much about this show.
I like those loaded tiny tacos.
I remember that.
They were pretty good, in my opinion.
Wasn't the loaded one just, it had cheese on it?
The loaded one had, like, hot sauce and cheese.
It was the one that we said should be the default.
It's the cheese is what I like. Yeah. And that's what you
said in the episode a bunch of times. No,
I know. I don't have to
remember the episode to know in my
soul that's what I would have said.
I'm not saying this from memory.
I'm saying this from I know my
inner self and he
likes the one with cheese. Yep.
Okay, where are you Yep. I just remember the
Sonic the Hedgehog
tie-in.
That was good marketing. It worked.
I'm still thinking about it.
Haven't watched the movie but
I remember a lot of
conversation being why isn't this
for Sonic? Right.
I remember a lot of that.
And then there was like a game
and then the game came out or something.
Yeah. Right? Collecting rings
or something. Yep.
Stupid.
Alright. I'm not fucking around.
It's weird science.
Where's the intro, Nick?
Play the intro.
Got closer.
That's what we want.
Yep.
So this is, um, welcome back to the middle of Face Jam.
Uh, I don't know.
I don't know what's going on today, man.
Welcome back to the middle of Face Jam.
Yeah, well, you know, hang on. He doesn't have an intro written for the middle of the show.
I don't have an intro, but I do have this.
We're back.
Here we go.
We're back. I got go. We're back.
I got my compressor.
I had to abandon the episode after fact one.
Now we're back at home.
The fact was too good.
It broke Michael's computer.
That's what it was.
And we,
you know what?
We're not going to quit though.
We're continuing.
Eric still refuses to fix the auto focus on his camera.
Just so it looks like he's moving around.
I figured it was going to be a problem today.
It's a whole extra click to fucking open OBS and click virtual cam.
It's a whole extra click.
I don't want to do that.
What the hell happened today?
I got alcohol on the way home because I knew it was going to be like this.
We ate jacket.
Hey, guys, you remember the food we ate earlier?
I just remember it being small.
I'm still hungry.
There was small food.
Now you can see me.
Oh, it's so bright.
All right.
Seriously.
Hey, quit fucking around.
On to fact number two.
Just like that.
Smooth transition.
Also on our previous Jack in the Box episode, the hashtag Face Jam Challenge was introduced, taking over the world and scaring people from in their cars to in their showers.
It was it was a strong play by Face Jam to make you say, listen to the show, but never follow through to see if anyone would ever do it.
That's the that's the important factor there is they don't actually have to listen to it.
would ever do it.
That's the important factor there is they don't actually have to listen to it.
You just need to throw up in my mouth again to film yourself telling someone about it.
Yeah.
And people got intense.
Creativism.
The word I was looking for.
The Face Jam Challenge. They listened.
It's ever present.
But when people started like pseudo kidnapping people
i think we just kind of cut association with uh just let i'll just let them do whatever they're
doing and obviously we'll you know look at it but we don't want you trapping people in their cars
and then telling people that we told you to do it you can do it just don't associate us
we'll watch and we'll laugh but we will take no responsibility absolutely no responsibility i take no responsibility for
any of this responsibility we love you you're very special please stop kidnapping people
some of the memorable ones that i really liked were there was somebody who yelled at someone
in the shower there was a band called runaway ricochet that in the middle of their set stopped and told everyone
to listen to face hell yeah i remember there was um i remember there was one uh someone like
telling their mother while they were in their bed yeah i remember that one they kind of a lot of
like busting in on unfortunate parents uh and partners uh beinged. That wasn't, we didn't really
like say like do a
do a, um, like a mob
or anything like on them,
but they did it anyway.
Do you remember the guy who was landing a plane
and like calling in like
signs and stuff? And then he's like, also listen
to Face Jam. It's like, that's fucking
runway clear. Listen to Face Jam.
Dude, that was, that plane crashed. Yeah. Oh no. Well no well they were all listening to face jam but we got those listeners now yeah
but now that's that's the black box down crossover so they're welcome there you go wow yeah my god
there's gonna be an episode this this crash caused by a podcast called face jam very interesting
right here in our own network. Enough about that, though.
Hey, guess what?
Hang on.
Audio still rolling.
Yeah!
Yeah!
Hang on, let's do it again.
Okay.
Jack in the Box's most popular menu item are their tacos, claiming over 1,055 are eaten
every minute.
Even Selena Gomez loves them.
What?
Getting a grip of them for her birthday.
Do you think they'll cook some on Selena and Chef?
Even though it's a plus. The name of the show
is Selena and Chef as Eric has
drilled home and he won't stop talking
about it. They've yet to sponsor this podcast
but he keeps
talking about it and putting them in it.
I was very excited
when doing research for this fact sheet
that Selena Gomez was a fan and in
2013 for her birthday she's like my birthday cake and it was jack-in-the-box tacos not like a cake
that looked like jack-in-the-box tacos it was just like a pile of jack-in-the-box tacos so
whoa i don't think that's true i think you made that up just so you can name drop selena gomez
i will not no i will not fact check you but i will just. I think you made that up just so you can name drop Selena Gomez. I will not.
No,
I will not fact check you,
but I will just say,
I think you're wrong.
I also,
I don't think that's really the use of name drop,
like name drop.
I'm a huge fan of this person.
Right?
I guess,
I guess shoehorn in your fanhood.
Oh,
you guys are friends.
No,
I've never met her,
but Eric probably,
Eric likes to think so.
I was at the party with my friend Selena.
So I was listening to Joe Rogan the other day.
What?
The big guy?
Yeah.
Just saying.
That's the name drop right there.
That's how parasocial relationships work, man.
Right.
It feels like you know them without knowing them.
I just don't think they're going to cook it on Selena and Chef. I just thought it was
fun. Okay. Moving on.
What's a grip? Yeah.
It's like a term that's way
like Eric's way too old to be using.
I think it just means like a lot, you know?
He needs to get a grip. That's
a more accurate term.
And also, maybe while he's getting a grip,
get some just for men.
Why?
Look at how dark that is.
Hey, gorgeous.
Hey, no one can tell.
Just for men gel.
It's true.
We'll never know.
Except when your hair stops turning gray.
In 2018, Jack in the Box received criticism over an ad where Jack talks about having nice bowls.
The brand claimed that tongue-in-cheek humor is their mainstay, but according to a petition I'm starting, Eric,
people were only mad because they could not clearly see Jack's big hog show us.
Nice bowls? Yeah, I don't even get that. I'll be honest. I've read it. Me neither. When it was written? show us nice balls
I don't even get that
I mean either when it was written
so I had to watch the commercial
and they keep saying it
but it's supposed to be like balls
but like it doesn't
read when it's on paper
doesn't read at all I said it and I shrugged
and kept reading I went someone handed this to me
I have to read it no matter to me. I have to read it.
No matter what it says, I have to read it.
I just don't think
Jack has ever hung out there.
You know what I'm saying?
I just like,
just so you know, they could
not clearly see Jack's big hog
period. Show us.
Period. I got
its own sentence.
And the final fact.
In 1996, the company's mascot ran for president against Bob Dole and Bill Clinton, beating them both in a virtual online poll.
Although his platform was unclear, what we do know is that he was pro, quote, killing children with E.
Cola.
Shameful.
I just don't know why that would be your platform.
Do you mean pro as in as in professional at it because they kill all those kids?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we did it before.
We're pros.
We don't take these kids out like amateurs.
All right.
Right.
They never saw it coming.
Strictly professionals.
You want a jumbo jack? You just got jumbo
sacked, bro.
But
did not get any fries.
No.
No fries at all in a big old box.
Oddly enough, if they had gotten the fries,
it would have counteracted the E. coli
in the burger.
It would have saved their lives.
Yeah, but they don't include
fries. F fries save lives
oh shit we didn't get fries are we done for yeah no no no no no we had the chicky
we had the chicky also foodborne diseases and illnesses no no no look there was so
little chicken in there yeah it doesn't matter okay
it was mostly bread there wasn't enough surface for the uh disease to live on yeah bread can't
make you sick so it should be you'll be okay you'll be bread bread just makes you strong and
thick yeah that's all bread makes you thick uh-huh but like but like two c's and people like it
people like that yeah people like that. Yeah. People like that.
Like how Eric used the word grip and he kind of just guessed his way through it.
You can just say thick.
Like that's thick.
Wow.
Way to grip that one, Eric.
I'm just going to say grip and hope I get the right term use out of it.
It's so confusing.
What if you had to do like a...
Sorry, I'm gripping over here.
How would you describe a grip of liquid?
I've heard that before.
I would just say it's a grip.
There's like a bunch of liquid, man.
What do you think?
How much is a grip of liquid?
Like a handful? If you were to put it in your hand,
it's a handful of liquid.
As much as you can hold hey
you look like you're holding jack's bowls there looks like he's cupping bowls i can't hold any
liquid is that just me you should see a doctor whoa it just goes right through my hand damn oh
i thought you meant urine i thought like you couldn't hold like you drank something and just went it goes right through me every time yeah oh i'm leaking someone changed me and then i'd say kiss the prince
remember that that was like an hour and a half ago that was good that was really good that was
so long ago pop goes the weasel oh my god what a fight This is the best episode we've ever done.
Dude, we're a multi-location show now.
Yeah, no kidding.
Is this what we meant when we said we wanted to take it on the road?
Yeah.
Just meant going from one spot to another.
Yeah, I didn't mean the parking lot to our house, but I guess that's what's happening.
I've been on, I've unintentionally been on three different microphones so far this episode.
If we use any of our, of our discord chat'd be four yep splice it in splice it in just for a record here's here's a
fun fact michael used four different microphones for this episode of the podcast this will be on
the trivia section of imdb yep definitely i almost michael sounds different you always drink from the
wrong side of your drink oh it was the side, not the complete wrong side.
But I could tell it was off.
I need to get alcohol into me now.
He's trying to get a grip of that drink.
Jordan, it's so off, it's on.
That's all I'm saying.
All the way back around to being on.
I like it.
Don't throw up.
You know what I don't like?
I'll be honest.
Even this episode episode aside but it
really was a problem this episode recording in my fucking car i fucking hate it i thought we
like that that's why we kept doing it no we like being near each other right and interacting and
being close the car sucks i feel like i'm good today right now in my house because i saw you already we ate the food we got
the ah and then we left and drove home and you went to the post office and i've got we got our
screams in and now we're back but i still have that mojo from earlier today we took the picture
yeah it's true yeah we didn't we didn't waste this energy on something that nobody's gonna see
or listen to or maybe we did because who knows if this episode is going to make it very
likely we did,
but again,
it better make it.
We're not doing another one.
We're not going to give up.
We're not going to give up.
We will not let obstacles stop us.
We are a podcast of the people,
both on in this life and the next.
And they need to know about Jack's bowls.
We will not fail you.
There's a reason you're called heroes.
And that is you're proving it today.
Yeah, it's true.
They never said heroes didn't struggle from time to time.
And that's what makes us human.
Exactly.
Did we spit silly enough?
Was that enough spitting?
No, not at all.
I was thinking of the next hero line.
I was just trying to think how much how much of the episode do you think we recorded already there's no way to know to go for this one there's
no way to know for like an hour if i had to guess there's about 25 to 30 minutes of an episode
before this i think yeah yeah i think there's probably 20 at least a couple of uh-huhs i like
that eric is sneezing in opposite directions.
He's switching it up.
I'm trying to keep it away from you guys.
He sneezed to the right.
Then he sneezed to the left.
I'm wondering,
is,
is he going to pull a full one?
Allergies.
Allergies are so bad.
I will say,
hold up.
And Eric went,
here's your food.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
And you went,
what?
And I was like what what did you smoke
a pack of cigarettes on the drive here and you're like allergies they're so bad i'm a prince kiss me
i've just been rolling around in mold and hay so i figure that it's just bad does that counteract it
or uh i don't know i guess we'll find out did you try
not doing that no i haven't tried not doing that yet man i'm the guy with all the good ideas yeah
i should try not doing it then i guess yeah yeah you should you sound like a pirate
when you were doing that chicago voice earlier when you were talking about oh yeah that's right
yeah working on the train. You got a little...
You totally went off Chicago accent at the end
because of your allergies.
No.
I'm from Chicago.
Now it's a fun game
of talking about what happened on this
episode and wondering how much is in the episode.
If it actually made it in.
It's really hard to keep track.
I don't know.
If it didn't make it in, all you need to know It's really hard to keep track. I don't know. I don't know.
If it didn't make it in, all you need to know is that Eric used to work on a jungle cruise-like attraction at the zoo.
That had to have made it in. That's a strong way of putting what it was.
It was so small.
It was light.
I think we got that.
I'll be honest.
I don't think there was any misconception there that it wasn't a tiny little train for children.
I don't think there was any misconception there that it wasn't a tiny little like train for children.
Yeah, I didn't think it was an actual size train at like like at Knott's Berry Farm.
One of the main attractions was a horse.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Kind of like you because you're a horse.
Mm hmm.
Oh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, can we get.
I'm helping Nick live.
Yeah, no kidding.
Don't derail me again, please.
I'll do it.
I'll be quiet for four minutes just to get a laugh track.
Just so you can find one.

good good good what hang what the what sorry I jumped ahead past the next section looking at press material, and it's just got me upset.
All right, well, let me read.
All right, let's move on to the food that we ate.
This is very long.
50-50 popcorn chicken big box.
If you've been on an indecisive streak lately, it's been, it's about to get streakier.
Let me read that again if you've been on on an indecisive streak lately it's about to get streakier
this is like the second episode in a row where you have like underwear underwear type humor
in the material i think you should start from the top one more time just in case.
You'll get it this time.
This is going to be the one we're going to use.
Yeah, this is it.
If you've been on...
Fell apart.
Fell apart.
If you've been on an indecisive streak lately, buckle up.
You're about to get streaked all over.
You're about to get streaked.
Because Jack's 100% all white meat popcorn chicken
big box which has two times the chicken that's debatable comes in either classic or spicy
luckily you can also order it with half classic and half spicy chicken so you can stay on the
fence and enjoy the indecisive life what is? Is that indecisive in any way?
I feel like it's like,
I've decided on what you want.
Right.
I get both.
Boom.
That's not,
that's not an indecisive streak.
You've solved your own problem.
Jack in the box.
Yeah.
I don't,
I think the streak is broken.
Indecisive.
We offer you both.
Are you upset?
Are you mad?
I'm streaky. here's jack's hog
behold jack streaky bowls um now here's the thing it's called the 50 50 popcorn chicken big box i
will say the box pretty big the box is big they didn't say they were gonna fill that box that is true
yeah it's so crazy it's just it looks like when you open it it looks like you got someone's
leftovers that's what it looks like it looks like someone said hey i couldn't finish this
and handed it to you but that's what you paid seven dollars for yo they were laughing at you
when you left they were like, we ripped off that old man.
And then, um, press material.
Jordan, you want to read that?
This is also a long one.
N.A.
Parentheses. Jack in the Box didn't want to drum that this is also a long one n a parentheses jack in the box didn't want
to drum up excitement around popcorn chicken there was no press material i reached out no
did not get any follow-up they didn't even get a celebrity from the stock photo website nothing
last time it was sonic the hedgehog this time they couldn't even get kind of a letdown yeah
kind of a letdown they couldn't even get
big the cat they couldn't get fucking crash bandicoot to do fucking popcorn chicken or
whatever i mean come on get something jesus get it together someone asked me yesterday
oh hey what are you eating tomorrow and i and as usual i was like i have no idea i don't you'd say
it and i forget and then usually we get there and I go, oh, yeah, it's this.
But in the rare occasion someone asked me, I had to dig up the paperwork of what we were eating.
And I was like, we're eating a Jack in the Box popcorn chicken.
And they went, oh.
That's it?
Yeah.
I was like, I guess that's it.
And then if only I could go back in time and tell them
it's even less impressive when you see it i just i was imagining you'd be like no it'll be good
just wait and see i bet it'll come with fries the box will be filled i wish it came with some
thick curly fries they're not they're actually they're better thin. I just wanted to use the word thick.
No, I get it.
I got thick excited.
But like.
A grip of them.
A grip.
A grip of curly fries.
Twist my spine and eat me up.
But no.
Well, that's what the potato says.
Oh, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right.
You know how potatoes are vertebrates?
I was being the potato.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, it would have been great if it came with anything.
It came with nothing.
And so, because of the catastrophe that was this episode, I didn't get food on the way home.
I just decided to fill that hole with alcohol.
Nice.
And it's filling up.
I think you made the right call.
It's thick.
I did.
If I didn't have a meeting in an hour, I'd right there with you oh no i know believe it or not i gotta work the rest
of the day did you mail anything exciting no there was just returns from like amazon sorry do that
i don't oh okay i just go i'm just the errand boy. I just say, this is my life now.
I live with this.
I ordered this thing I don't want.
I try to pawn it off on someone else,
and if they don't want it, it goes in the garage.
What am I going to do?
Try to get my $12.95 back?
Look, I mean, yeah.
I just go, this was my mistake.
I will own it.
This is the price of my mistake. Oh, I bought this screw. I mistake. I will own it. This is the price of my mistake.
Oh, I wish I wish I need that screw.
Fuck it.
Screwed up.
I wish more drivers had that mentality, especially in Austin.
I'm in the wrong lane.
What am I going to do?
Live with my mistake and go around the block?
No, I'm going to cut everyone off.
I did that today.
I got in the wrong lane.
I was supposed to go straight and I had to go.
I,
I was in a lane that I thought continued straight,
but it was blocked.
So I just went right and then went around the freeway to get to where I
needed to go.
And instead of trying to cut off 18 cars,
I just went,
well,
I fucked up.
Oh yeah.
Oh,
sorry.
When you said I did that today i thought you were
gonna say you did exactly what jordan was talking about no no i didn't i did i did do exactly what
jordan was talking about well i'm saying the other person and you beeped and hung out the window
while you did it and you screamed get a grip and then you kept screaming selena gomez selena gomez
name drop name drop she's drop. She's my friend.
She's my friend.
We cook together all the time.
Ever heard of her?
Perfect.
You guys knew you guys must have been on the car ride with me.
Yeah, I saw.
I look, I got scouts.
I have little birds.
You have little birds?
There's one.
There's one of them is right behind you.
There's a isn't that those Game of Thrones thing, wasn't it?
Little birds.
Yeah.
Varys.
Hey, remember his satisfying conclusion?
Not really.
Did they kill him?
He died, right?
Yeah, he got burned up.
The 10-year anniversary.
Way to go, Game of Thrones.
Oh, wow.
Cut that.
Take that.
We got him.
And we're back.
Right after talking about Eric yelling Selena Gomez, we've transported to now.
Is this episode done yet?
Are we over?
No.
I mean, we're over, but I don't know if we're done.
I think, well, now we have to review the food.
Oh, yeah.
You don't want to talk about getting the food?
I just did.
I think this episode was the fastest ever to actually critiquing the food.
It was.
That was incredible.
We pretty much started off with it.
What the fuck was this shit?
Honestly, we pretty much said everything there is to say about it.
I mean, we didn't mention at all what it tasted like, but it was an
underwhelming show. I'll say that.
Just like this show.
Hurtful. I'm just trying to
get ahead of the negative comments, because if we
already own the fact that this one sucks,
they don't exist. They don't exist, Jordan. We purged
them. Yeah, we purged them all.
You say
anything negative, it gets deleted.
That's not part of our first your comment then you
perfect
yeah take a drink okay uh the food big box small amount of food very small uh, sad looking food. It's the most I feel like I've ever felt doing the show where we didn't get what we should have gotten.
I can't wrap my head around this being normal.
The size of this box and the amount of food we got in it, it just baffles me.
The box is enormous and there's like food scraps in it it doesn't make any sense
i don't see how that would pass any sort of like looks good give it to the customer it's just
i would be like put it in a smaller box why are you putting it's like taking a small like filling
a small drink cup pouring it into an extra large and then just handing the extra large cup to the customer and
going here's your extra large and you'd say even if you were like i wanted this amount of liquid
why is the cup so big it was just so confusing the presentation's all off too it's like it needed
something else in there it's just like they dumped in the chicken and it's like i opened it it was
like this is this is sad to put it in a perspective
again it's a big rectangular box the amount of chicken that filled it not a single piece of
chicken was stacked on top of each other it was all a single right it was one layer yeah it was
there was a small enough amount where every single piece of chicken sat next to each other in the box in a box that went another two
inches high yeah at least it just it was like what it looks like it looks like someone like
you know did like a a delivery service never door dash never door dash but one of those other phonies
and someone ate your food and then delivered it to you that's what it looked like yeah right
they were they were waiting for eric to pull up and they're like i'm just gonna have a quick snack and someone ate your food and then delivered it to you. That's what it looked like. Yeah, right.
They were waiting for Eric to pull up,
and they're like, I'm just going to have a quick snack.
And then they kept eating and eating and eating,
and they were like, uh-oh, I guess I'll deliver it anyway.
I feel like that summarizes the food perfectly well.
Yeah, the regular chicken tasted fine.
Nothing to write home about, really. really i mean it's popcorn chicken um i feel like me and eric were talking about how there should have been like
some special sauce or something to go with it because like you know you're supposed to dip
these things and they gave us they gave us like a spicy buffalo hot sauce ranch honey mustard
wait you got honey mustard there was honey mustard yeah ranch, honey mustard.
Wait, you got honey mustard?
There was honey mustard in there?
Yeah, there was honey mustard.
Oh, no.
You didn't get the honey mustard?
No, he got the honey mustard.
He didn't use the honey mustard.
You didn't use the honey mustard?
I was working with two sauces.
Oh, you were employing the Nick tactic.
Why didn't you put the sauce in the box?
It had so much room.
I didn't put the sauce in the box. I didn't.
I gave you what they gave me.
Michael's hands are
in his head now. That's the best sauce
with chicken. And I went, fucking ranch.
Oh, well. And I ate it.
Oh, no. Yeah, there was a honey mustard.
You fucked up. Well, if it makes you feel any better,
it wouldn't have helped.
Okay. I'm back.
There's not a whole lot that sauce could
have done for that chicken um the uh spicy one it reminded me of the burger king spicy nuggets we
got yeah like they were kind of kind of similar in uh in spice level like it didn't really like
land on your tongue it was kind of like the back of your back of your throat not too spicy i could
handle it maybe i'm becoming more of a spice rat i can
handle it i don't i don't think so because i had one dip no because you had one dip uh in the
frank's red hot and then you just kept saying why did i do that why did i dip so much
i said that as i was doing it i was like oh no this is gonna be a mistake but then it wasn't
that bad if anything it was too much vinegar like that was not a doing it. I was like, oh no, this is going to be a mistake. But then it wasn't that bad.
If anything, it was too much vinegar.
Like that was not a good hot sauce.
Oh, I like Frank's Red Hot a lot.
Oh, I thought it was good.
I liked it.
Frank's Red Hot's very good.
Nick did Frank's Red Hot and then immediately dipped the same piece in ranch and was doing a double sauce combo.
He was like making a buffalo chicken.
He was.
He's got the right idea.
I got there.
I was eating my chicken on my car
and almost like in like one bite in i had ranch not a huge fan of ranch but i'll eat it i was
trying the ranch i was trying the hot sauce hot sauce was pretty good and i took a piece and i
like dipped it in one of them ate it took another piece dipped it in one of them and eric immediately went
oh you're dipping them one at a time and i looked at him like the hell are you talking about and
then he went unlike nick who immediately dunked them in both sauces and i was like i was confused
until the second sentence came then that made total sense yeah no like a human i was just eating it one sauce at a time you think that like eating
something with sauce is a very simple thing that like doesn't you can't expound upon it at all
but nick finds a way he finds the the innovations for sauce eating i never would have thought to
dunk into one sauce and then into a second sauce that never that never would have thought to dunk into one sauce and then into a second sauce.
That never would have crossed my mind.
I just never would do it.
But we're not innovators, I think.
That's true.
We need to get him in a kitchen.
That's what we need to do.
We need to get Nick in the kitchen, have some of his creations.
Sauce monkey special.
Mostly sauce-based.
I imagine it would be 90% sauce.
If it were up to him.
If this were, if these.
You know what we should have done?
You know what we should do?
V2.
V2.
The sauce monkey.
Plus she has a little box and it got sound effects from Nick.
That he recorded.
And he goes.
It goes.
It goes. It goes, mmm.
It goes, Michael.
It goes, yes.
Flatly says Michael.
Michael.
He needs an, oh.
He needs that.
And then like a little chuckle.
So this is a good version too.
Yep.
I like the sauce.
I like sauce monkey plush version two
version one's great yeah and then and we make him really strong yeah he's got big old donkey
muscles he's got huge donkey muscles he's bulging i want i want the the version two doll to come out
and then nick to feel inadequate to his own doll let him let him let him chase the dream i think he would look at it
and then just go like this must be what i look like um i'm gonna take off points for the food
just because of like how uninspired it all is. They were just like, popcorn chicken,
and then didn't go any further than that.
It's true.
Maybe somebody went popcorn chicken in a box,
and they were like, okay, we'll do that too, but not well.
So, 45.
Okay.
Because it's still chicken.
And it was decent chicken.
It's still decent chicken.
But you got to give me some seven bucks some set dressing seven bucks it's just i really i almost want to go to
see if you got ripped off or not and order it again maybe at a different jack-in-the-box and
see if i get fries or more chicken or a smaller box or anything. It's just, it all seems so off.
If people happen to go to Jack in the Box and get this thing, let us know if.
Yeah, send some pics.
Yeah, because if you just get the single layer of chicken in the bottom of a box,
then we know it was right.
It looks like leftovers.
If you did go with your grandpa that means they're probably
trying to prank the old man so go once with grandpa and once without i mean see what happens
i just want to show you the picture and like i just sent you guys a link so you can see the picture
of what it's supposed to look like because it's fries okay hang, hang on. Let's see here. Investigating.
Loading.
The box is fucking overflowing with chicken. Oh, my God.
That, yes, that is insanity.
Now, looking at this box, first of all, I'd say.
There's also fries in it.
About a third, a third-ish of fries and then two-thirds of chicken, maybe.
But it's stacked to the brim.
of fries and then two thirds of chicken maybe. But it's stacked
to the brim. I'm gonna
guess just based on the box
that I saw which is that box and the chicken
we received. That's gotta be
at least four pieces of chicken high.
Five pieces of chicken high?
Probably something like that. We got
one layer. Yep.
One layer. Yep. Ridiculous.
Now I'm mad. That's crazy. Now I'm gonna lower my score.
You got got. You got got man. You must have got got. Now I'm mad. That's crazy. Now I'm going to lower my score. You got got.
You got got, man.
You must have got got.
Yeah, they fucking punked you, man.
Hey, guys.
I just can't imagine.
It wasn't just me.
They got got.
You got got.
Well, no.
You were there.
Jack in the box fucked you guys out of that meal.
Well, no.
They fucked you, and then you gave it to us.
You could have had that.
Look at how much more chicken.
Look at the fries.
I agree. If you had looked at it while you were there, you could have had it. Look at how much more chicken. Look at the fries. I agree.
If you had looked at it while you were there, you could have had it.
Punish them.
I mean, punish them.
You gave them a 45.
Last episode, you gave Fridays a two, Jordan.
A conditional two.
A conditional two.
One, a conditional two.
But a two nonetheless.
Two.
They have the opposite problem where it was too much presentation.
It was like, you're hitting me over the head with it you've gone too far presentation terrible job hate it 45
it was still chicken hey i i'm gonna eat dinner tonight and i'm happy about that congratulations
not able to eat yeah good for you um i'm not gonna have to purge myself it was it was it was pretty good
chicken i like the hot sauce um it was just very underwhelming it was an underwhelming display
and i would have liked some fries and that's that so i give it a 60 60 i like the chicken
the chicken was good i i felt like i fired out of the gate on the episode of just how
tiny it was and absurd looking it
was, but it was decent chicken.
It was very expensive though
for how much we got. 52.5
is the average score there
and I think
I agree. I think if
we didn't get got, it would have been different.
Yep.
Because if there was, like that picture, fries and that much chicken, it's a way higher score.
I think it's a way higher score.
Especially for $7.
Yep.
Let us know, jammers.
Tweet at FaceJamPod pictures of your big box, be it 50-50 or not.
And let us know if you get fries.
Now, to specify, you didn't ask for
fries you just ordered the box but it but it looks like the box comes with fries like you
wouldn't have yes everything about the big box that's the reason to get the big box otherwise
you're just getting an order of spicy chicken and an order of the regular chicken what's the
fucking point it should it it seemed like it would everything look like indicated it
would come with fries there was no conversation about do you want fries do you want to make it
a combo and like somehow adding the fries in none of that conversation took place it was just hey
four of these boxes and the guy okay cool and that was it like that i think jack in the box
is the indecisive ones they didn't know whether or not to give us fries or not yeah well they're the ones streaking i feel like they did know
they chose not to it's very decisive take that indecisive would have been if half got fries and
half yeah that would have been nuts that would have started like turmoil turmoil turmoil guys
that would have started turmoil nick cut out the other part Turn oil. Guys, that would have started in turmoil. Nick, cut out the other part.
Nick, Nick, Nick, save me.
That would have started in turmoil, boys.
Get him. Get him, Michael. Get him.
I tell you what.
Back in my day, we got a grip of
turn oil and just went to town.
When I was a conductor
for the turn oil train, we'd
drive around all the cities and give
oil to the little children.
We'd pump it in the hoses and shower the little bodies with turn oil.
Oh, the screams.
I remember Chicago was there.
And he was the one telling me, do it.
Give them the oil.
Turn the oil on them.
I'm from Chicago. Hot oil oil only it had to be hot piping hot
to see the flesh melt from the bone and then the last thing they'd see is our train chugga chugga
chewing away we had 50 monkeys they'd all scream in unison.
We'd throw them the bones and the children.
Hey, little monkeys,
feeding time.
The oil train came in the station.
Choo-choo.
That's my favorite episode of Thomas the Tank Engine.
Oh, do you imagine a train with Eric's face on it.
Oh, man.
We saved it.
I think we saved it.
I think we saved this episode.
Yeah.
Definitely.
Well, that bit right there saved it.
Well, we can't do the snack that Jason sent,
but also I mostly picked his snack
because of the hat that Nick received.
We did 15 minutes into the show.
Yeah, because the snack was just
Planter's cheese balls.
So like, yeah, we already know those.
I've eaten them.
I like them.
If they're not stale,
I'm going to give them a 75.
I like them. Wow, average score is 70. I think that to give them a 75. I like them. Wow! Average score
is 70. We were able to get the
first ever rating for a food we didn't eat.
But have eaten in the
past. Way to go,
Jason. We're breaking new ground. Good job, Jason.
Hey guys, if you want to send us
spicy snacks, you can.
It'll be your last chance.
Because, hey, here's
the thing.
You can send in your spicy snacks to Face Jam Care of Eric Bedore, 1901 East 51st Street, Austin, Texas, 78723.
The reason that we needed spicy snacks has been announced.

No, I 21st. Only on Rooster Teeth. Now I got scared.
You can buy tickets to an exclusive Q&A, the meet and greet.
You can watch for free on Rooster Teeth. You can meet us while we yell at you.
Yeah, we'll definitely be yelling at you.
It's like, oh, do you?
It was like, oh, do we want to do this individually?
And it was like, no, we should just do a group thing so we could just like kind of scream.
I think it's just going to be screaming.
We'll be doing the turmoil bit the whole time.
Yeah.
I think full disclosure, too.
They said, do you want to do meet and greets?
And we said, no.
And then they said, all right, well, here's your meet and greet.

All right.
Well, we're going to we're going to yell at them.
So there we'll talk about more about what, we'll talk more about what, uh, ghost
kitchen is.
So it kind of gets closer and everything, but just know that in it.
Is this the things that are in motion that you were talking about?
Yes.
Because in it, we will also be doing a snack attack from hell, which is just us raiding
spicy snacks.
Um, so, uh, that is why we needed spicy snacks.
And we have a bunch.
This is uncharted territories for a little mouse.
Yeah, yeah.
Jordan has to rate that.
I just wonder what he's going to give these spicy, spicy snacks.
Part of me wants to just see how long I can go,
like, after taking a bite and just not react.
Because the spicy ones will make me crack sooner.
And I think that's a good barometer
of the jordan sweers litmus test yeah yeah yeah the spice mouse litmus test i will say i gotta
give credit to the jammers when we said send us spicy snacks but not like pocky stupid shit yeah
not like pocky one chip challenge whatever sent like really unique, like really like kooky stuff that is right in the wheelhouse of what we're looking for.
Like there's stuff in there that I'm excited to try because it's bizarre.

Anyway rate and subscribe
And tell your friend from Chicago
About the show where we eat food
And then dunk it in
turn oil.
Pro tip, if someone makes a mistake
and says edit it out, turn it into
a five minute bit so they absolutely
cannot.
But edit out
or muffle what you just said
because it was a little,
it was a little too much of a sentence.
Maybe,
maybe like cut it up in the middle and put it,
we got it.
We need to,
we need a plot device to figure out how this monkey is going to talk though.
It's like at some point there,
I don't know.
Do we need a mad scientist to invent a monkey to English translator.
He's a man the whole time.
The thing that he wears on his throat.
Yeah, put a collar on him.
Yeah, like a little interspecies device collar.
Or someone kisses the monkey and he's a prince.
I wouldn't kiss the monkey.
I'd be freaking ripped to shreds.
You're gonna need a brave soul.
