Starting point is 00:00:00 To support sustainable food production, BHP is building one of the world's most sustainable potash mines in Canada. Essential resources responsibly produced. It's happening now at BHP, a future resources company. Get real. We run a tight ship around here. Welcome to Spittin' Silly, the Fortnite podcast where anything can happen and it probably does. I'm here. I was Jordan Swears alongside Michael.
Starting point is 00:00:29 It was Michael Jones. Michael. What's up? Hi. Ya boi! Try out new catchphrases. I don't know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:37 That's pretty good. That'll work. Almost 40. I think ya boi is pretty good. Yeah. But he's almost 40. He's definitely closer. If he survives, he'll make it. Yeah. But he's almost to 40. He's definitely closer. If he survives, he'll make it.
Starting point is 00:00:48 If he survives, he'll make it there first. What are you talking about? He's a year older than me. I thought he was one year away from 40. He is technically. If he's a year older, he's a year closer. The way time works, it keeps going forward. Are you allowed to make content on the internet?
Starting point is 00:01:04 If Justin Jeff can do it, then yeah, I ain't got nothing to worry about. Others have proven to be true. That's why we have Gracie. Don't worry about it. I got you guys young. She average buys us a couple years. I remember when I was the Gracie. Jordan was the Gracie. I've been the Gracie.
Starting point is 00:01:24 Maybe not as well liked as Gracie. No, not at all. Not at all. We were talking about. But amongst old people, I was the Gracie. When you were out before you came back in here, we were talking about sleeping at Rooster Teeth and how it was a thing that everyone,
Starting point is 00:01:39 like what used to happen. People just would sleep here. Jordan's like, I've slept here like four or five times or whatever. Gracie went, that's cool. I took a nap on that couch yeah like last week that's so it definitely is it's not carrie sleeping under his desk correct it's crazy what's on tiktok i a couple times i a couple times took a nap back when meg worked here because her desk was a bunk bed
Starting point is 00:02:02 yes and i remember those and take a nap and she didn't mind. And it was in like a dark hallway. So it was kind of great. Terrible desk. Great spot for me to take a nap. More of a bed than a desk. A bunk bed in a hallway. Sounds terrible for a desk. Sounds great for a work nap.
Starting point is 00:02:19 And it was. Hey guys, quiet down and broadcast. Shut up. I need seven minutes. I'll also say, if I was dressed as comfy as Gracie, I would be asleep right now. I knew we were watching a movie. It's movie theater clothes. Ugg boot shoes.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Hartley boots. Ugg boot Chelsea boots. The fanciest Uggs I've ever seen. If she came to the restaurant, she would have slept through the movie. Oh, yeah. She would have fallen asleep and woke up after it was over. So we went to Kura. Revolving Sushi.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Revolving Sushi, which is a chain. So you could go to one in your town or whatever big city you live by. If you live in Des Moines or whatever. I don't think they're in Des Moines. What do you mean? So you go to Kura. It's just Revolving Sushi. whatever i don't don't think they're in des moines what do you mean uh so you gotta you go to kurits just revolving sushi uh but they had a special collaboration yeah they x they x a lot yeah last time it was like bakugan or some shit like what did it was demon slayer is that what we get
Starting point is 00:03:19 right is that what it was maybe i they also like i'm they also i'm not guessing it was demon slayer for like a year and a half now maybe it was something else was that the thing with like crunchy roll that was all over the place a crunchy roll i don't know if it was with if it was with demon slayer it might have been there was also a like a kubra anime what oh yeah is that the one that we had to watch when we went to miami beach you don't have to watch it. We got to. I had to watch it twice. Miami's poppin'. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they had a collaboration with Peanuts. Not the food. Snoopy,
Starting point is 00:03:52 Charlie Brown, and the whole gang were there. Lucy, blonde-haired Lucy. All the Lucys. Lesbian Lucy. They had... For every 15 plates you ate you got a little gotcha machine yeah you feed the plates in so they go away yes yeah but you also get like a point
Starting point is 00:04:15 did they go away well when jordan's not there he insisted on saving every plate and doing it all at once now normally myself i'm sure you was like get is like, get rid of it, get rid of it. Yes, well, that's what I was trying to do. We're making a video of us getting it. What are we going to do? Insert 14 and just wait? Probably, yeah. But then we're going to miss the lore of Mutant Maru going to Miami Beach.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Stopped. Filmed it again. I like Jordan's idea. Either way, we stacked... You think any of that's going to get edited? We stacked... He's not... No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:04:44 That's what I'm saying. It's so much longer because we didn't stop. We stacked 30 plates. We stacked 30 plates on this fucking table. And counted a lot. We had to get... We wanted to be right. We had to get two of the toys.
Starting point is 00:04:54 So we had to get 30 plates. Michael said, I'm not eating fucking 31. This better be 30. Yeah. That's right. So Kura, as a revolving sushi place, is like... I think Jordan was talking about it
Starting point is 00:05:06 while we were there great lunch spot yeah like super easy super fast you sit down and you can just immediately eat the food
Starting point is 00:05:12 it's unheard of it's like it's really great it's the worst part of lunch you're waiting for your server and they're not ready to take your order you sit down
Starting point is 00:05:22 you're like I want that and you're eating someone's gonna say oh just go to a buffet you have to sit down, you're like, I want that, and you're eating. Someone's going to say, oh, just go to a buffet. You have to sit down and then stand back up. The food is coming along. This food is awesome. It's not the caliber you would think it at
Starting point is 00:05:34 of being able to get it immediately. As Nick kept saying, CC's, CC's. He started talking about CC's. He kept saying, if CC's did this, would we go? Talk about CC's at Cura, it's disrespectful. Definitely disrespectful. Yeah. Yes. Definitely disrespectful.
Starting point is 00:05:54 I will say that I did sit down and then stand up because I got anxious about being on the inside next to the revolver. But you chose it. Eric, you sat down. But I didn't want to. It's just by virtue of me walking to it. Walking in, my thought process was, I definitely want to sit on the inside. Yeah. Oh, please.
Starting point is 00:06:04 I'll see if it's open. Oh, I don't want to. And I waited for an opening, and there was nothing. Eric was laser set, locked in, went in. I'm like, this guy is an inside guy. I know I'm not an inside guy. He immediately sat down, and I sat down next to him. I sat down next to him, and I said, be prepared for me to reach across you the entire time.
Starting point is 00:06:19 And he was like, do you want to switch? Do you want to switch? The code of conduct and the etiquette is, if you're sitting next to the revolving, yes, somebody will call it out. You'll grab it. Grab it. You have the most time. You can see the most.
Starting point is 00:06:30 You got to be good at grabbing the plates off the revolving thing. Gracie, have you ever had me? No, I haven't. Okay. There's a technique to it. And of course, Eric crumpled under the pressure. Before you even tried, though. No, I've tried.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Last time. I mean, today. Yes. Last time I went with Jordan, I mean, I mean today. Yes. Last time I went with Jordan, I was sat on the inside and there's a technique with
Starting point is 00:06:49 the plates where you can't just like pull them out towards you. You have to like lift. There's like a bubble locked on
Starting point is 00:06:54 the conveyor belt. The plate sits in that and then the bubble has a lid. Right. So you got to like lift the plate to lift the
Starting point is 00:06:59 bubble. And if you don't do it just right, you're just grabbing at it like an animal as it's going away. Right. Yeah. So I'm shaking it. So many layers to it it cuz it's like oh, no. I can't get my food
Starting point is 00:07:09 Oh, no, I look like an idiot. Oh, no. I'm gonna lose it and also oh no now. I've just been touching it And someone else and people are looking at me. I'm like stop dude, so all that happens So I switched so I switched with Michael since so I didn't have to do it and Michael is a pro at this fucking thing. Just effortless pop. Sometimes even they fight back but you just gotta fight back. It's easy to panic and I go, you just keep lifting up.
Starting point is 00:07:35 My technique is two hands, one on the base, one on the plate. You kind of provide some leverage. That'll do it but Michael, one hand smooth. Oh yeah. You do it really effortlessly. It's more safe. That'll do it. But Michael, one hand smooth. Oh, yeah. Nice. You do it really effortlessly. I go there a lot.
Starting point is 00:07:49 You do. And you were saying that you go with your kids and your kids like it. Yeah. And then you showed us at the end after we ate 31 plates of food. Right, right, right. Because you just pulled one more food thing off and handed it to Nick. I did. I thought that would be funny.
Starting point is 00:08:05 It was very funny. After we did 30, I pulled one. And that one almost didn't go. That was one of the trickier ones. You had to fight it a little bit. But I just barreled through. You showed us on the screen where you can order your food. Right as we walked out.
Starting point is 00:08:15 You were like, oh, by the way. And it was capsule whatever. And it's like, you can just buy these. You can buy those for $3.50. I swear to God, that's new. I mean, it's new at least years ago. I've been doing it for years. I've been going for years.
Starting point is 00:08:29 I've never seen that thing on the tablet. It's there. We ate 31 plates of food. Which I will say, we reasonably I've never cared enough to look, I guess. When you have kids, you go, we just cleared 15. We're not doing 15.
Starting point is 00:08:46 But you got two kids. Right. So they each got to get one. Exactly. But the nice thing about this is we didn't stop at 15. We were probably around 22 plates when we were ready to be like, I'm full. And it was like, all right, we need eight more because we're halfway there. Those plates are like $5 a plate, which are pretty – I mean, mean it's sushi but it's very good right it's pretty reasonably priced we were like
Starting point is 00:09:10 gotta get eight more five dollar plates and cost three dollars and fifty cents just some math you don't even have to yeah one plate cost more yeah it's good for uh it's good for the content, you know? You can watch that video. I think we'll probably put it up on facejampod.com if you want to go check it out there. It's like a six or seven minute video of us just feeding the fucking thing.
Starting point is 00:09:35 It was really nice. We were in the corner. Oh, it was awesome. It just happened to be in the corner, so we weren't like bothering people. I mean, I'm sure we were, but not directly, directly bothering them. Also, this was Nick's first time.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Yeah, Nick had never been. Sur, this was Nick's first time. Yeah, Nick had never been. Surprises. He's been everywhere. Every terrible restaurant I've never heard of and he hasn't been to Kula. He was right.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Every terrible restaurant. He was a wide-eyed kid. He couldn't believe what was going on. Everything was amazing. Yeah, I will say though, Jordan and I are like,
Starting point is 00:09:59 and then here's how this works and then this and then that. We were overloading him with information. Jordan would take a breath and then I would tell him something. And then Jordan was like, on the menu, he's like, does anyone want eel? And Nick went, I've never had eel and then got. We were overloading him with information. And then Jordan would take a breath and then I would tell him something. And then Jordan was like on the menu. He's like, does anyone want eel?
Starting point is 00:10:06 And Nick went, I've never had eel. And then got eel. And it was like, it was so exciting. That is the fastest I've ever had the order on the screen sushi come out. Yeah, usually it takes a couple minutes. That was lightning. Dude, lightning fast. It was good.
Starting point is 00:10:23 I go for more of like the nigiri like the here's the salmon or the tuna on the shrimp I like the fish yeah from that I didn't know
Starting point is 00:10:30 that you didn't like fish so much that you just don't eat it at sushi nope and you got all the beef things that I didn't even know they had yeah they've got options
Starting point is 00:10:39 yeah they got so many they got so many options for beef I'm covered there are a lot. A lot. Plus,
Starting point is 00:10:46 I like the rice. Plus, you didn't even get. Yeah, the hamburger thing. Dude, the hamburger and sometimes they had the premium beef, which I did get, but sometimes they wrap it in seaweed.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Oh, that's nice. So I get all, I get all the sushi accoutrements, except the fish. I get the rice and the seaweed and like, Nick's whispering to me, let's go back.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Okay. I'm like right now. That's the other thing too. I can't believe I was in there because we've been talking about doing Kura for two years and never once it took the peanuts to get us there Eric showed up in his Steely Dan Snoopy shirt I'm in my Steely Dan Snoopy shirt
Starting point is 00:11:17 we needed to have Snoopy and not have Gracie and those things we all agreed it was communicated that Gracie. And those things... Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's fair. We all agreed. It was communicated that Gracie would not be joining us. And we all agreed that it was for the best. Here's the thing I said. Feeling the love, guys. Here's the thing I said.
Starting point is 00:11:33 I said, I'm glad we didn't have to tell her no. And it just happened. Right, right, right. She's getting a little... Head's getting a little... I'll cancel more often. I'm just saying. Oh, no, you found the right amount. You know, we'll just tell you when to cancel. Wow, Gracie, if you couldn't make this one, that would be crazy. I'll come in here and I'll take another nap.
Starting point is 00:11:52 No, but then they're going to love that. We can't tell them to stop leaving Gracie comments. We can just not have you around, but Eric doesn't have the courage to say it, so it's great when you cancel. By the way, watch the video that went out you think they are watch the video that went out where you guys went to oh that was awesome when he's the rogue nation i need you yeah i need i need people to know when he's impossible when we're talking about what we put up at face jam pod.com and you sign up for first and everything and watch this stuff. It's how you support the show directly, right?
Starting point is 00:12:26 We're, the amount of stuff we're putting up there. It's so much. It's abundant. The length of this episode may be shorter than the video of you guys going to Wendy's. I just like, I just like, it was, I don't even remember where it was. It's very hard for me to tell now
Starting point is 00:12:43 where conversations are because we make so many videos. It used to be just like the podcast. Then it was the podcast or Spit and Silly. I don't even know where I said it, but it's when you were talking about the first video we had in place of the ride-along. You were like, tune in tomorrow if there's a video.
Starting point is 00:12:59 I'm just going, there's a video. For sure. That was on the Blizzardizzard episode of face jam because I went oh that's cool Michael's gonna film something little did I know he had already filmed
Starting point is 00:13:11 something it is 35 minutes long and it's all video yeah so you have to check this stuff out
Starting point is 00:13:19 if you're like oh man no face jam when we say we're not editing these videos that's that's what we mean. There's one small cut.
Starting point is 00:13:27 It's true. There's one small cut. I forgot about that. There was weird artifacting at some point. Yeah, yeah. Something happened, but it's been happening. It's been happening. They were driving, and then they were still driving.

So, Cura, a place that we talked about going to for a really long time. We finally are able to go. We get two Snoopy prizes. Very happy about the Snoopy prizes.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Do you want to describe the Snoopy prizes? I have two Snoopy prizes now. And they're like two different styles. Yes. One is a, it's called like a can badge. And it's just a little badge that you slide on. It's at the outside of your jeans pocket. Like your pocket.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Or if you want to be a cool guy. I think it's supposed to go on your shirt pocket. It's basically a pin, but they remove the pin. It's just like a plastic slit. Yeah. Not nearly as effective as a pin. Nope. Nope.
Starting point is 00:15:26 But you stab yourself zero times. Yeah. And it's Sally, Charlie Brown's little sister, offering Snoopy some sushi, and he's very happy about it. It's very nice. That is Sally. It is not.
Starting point is 00:15:38 It's not Lucy? It's not blonde hair Lucy. Nick yelled Lucy when you opened it. George did too. Don't try to throw me under the bus. So we got that and then also got a little keychain thing. That's like, that one
Starting point is 00:15:52 way cooler. Probably like the size of a quarter in like diameter. It's like a replica little sushi thing. It is. It's exactly, that's what the sushi thing looks like where there's like a little bubble at the top and a plate. And then I showed Gracie and she went, wow, what does it do? it do like spin no i think it's just this i also tried to open it yeah and michael told me to keep fighting
Starting point is 00:16:13 but the the sushi we got what did you guys think of of kura as a like sushi spot and nick you've never been so what did you think of kura is as a sushi spot? Nick, you've never been. So what did you think of Kura as a sushi spot and everything? I loved it. The thing I think I regret most about sushi places is often you have to get a whole roll or something. You don't get to try little pieces. So you just see something coming by and you can snag it, grab whatever you want. I tried so much stuff.
Starting point is 00:16:41 And it's usually two or three pieces of something. And it's usually two if you don't like it. You're like, I don't like this. Does anyone want the other one? And someone will eat it. Oh, dude. Your hair's all, your blonde is gone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:51 Oh, I didn't know you did that. Hi. It was very surprising. Did you do that on purpose? Did you mean to? What happened? Your hair! Haircut!
Starting point is 00:17:01 Ah! Yeah, so Nick and I tried conch. Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yes. So, so Nick and I tried conch. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. Which, uh,
Starting point is 00:17:08 I did, I did not know what to expect. And what did you, when, how was it? Well, so I was still working on like a salmon or something. And when I pulled it and Nick was like,
Starting point is 00:17:17 okay, I'm going to jump into it. And he ate it. And he was like, it doesn't really taste like anything. I was like, okay, I'll give it a shot.
Starting point is 00:17:23 And it's the weirdest texture and most fishiest fish taste ever and i'm like nick what the fuck i mean you could probably describe the face i was making as i was trying to chew it it was like he was being crushed like an empty can. Oh, one of those wall things? Yes. You ever use those? For speed. He was in a corner of this booth shrinking. Like, just going. It was just so strange. Very tough and kind of rubbery.
Starting point is 00:17:57 And also kind of crunchy. Strangely. Interesting. I don't know what part of the conch it is. I think that's just what it is. The shell. Yeah, the shell. That waitress who was lingering nearby probably heard everything Jordan said.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Yeah, absolutely. I mean, she was conveniently right there. I think she was just waiting for any cue to pop up. I think she was bored. Yeah. Very helpful, though. Yeah. Extremely helpful.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Because as we discussed in one of the ride-alongs, the new Kura Sushi Rewards app. The rewards app. Which you got a lot of emails about. I got a lot of emails about. And Jordan jumped all over. I downloaded it and I got the points. Jordan got fucking crazy points. How many soupies can you trade that for? What happened was I was trying
Starting point is 00:18:38 to find out how to do it as we were doing self-checkout and I was like, yeah, I want to get the points. And then she like appeared. Out of nowhere a puff of smoke and she was like, hello, I want to get the points. And then she appeared. A puff of smoke and she was like, hello. I have all the solutions to your problems. What I really appreciated too was the effectiveness of immediately being
Starting point is 00:18:54 there, but somehow not having the air of like, oh, can I help you? She was like, sup, what do you need? You know what I mean? Extremely helpful, but not at all too eager. She was just like, oh, oh yeah you want to get the points sometimes this app's slow here we go do this thing got it bye
Starting point is 00:19:09 so Jordan walked away with all of our money points he's going to get so many rices with that I'm going to get one point free wow so overall I would say that that was a great experience with Cora I've had a lot I love going with people who are going for the first time going with Nick was fun So overall, I would say that that was a great experience with Kura. I've had a lot. I love going with people who are going for the first time.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Going with Nick was fun. I think that it's a sushi spot where I've had really high-end, great sushi. Sure, yeah. We've got Uchi in Uchiko. Yep, and then about a week ago, I had sushi from H-E-B because it's just like, okay, it's there. I enjoy sushi. That's not what I heard.
Starting point is 00:19:47 That is so right down the middle of like the fish is cut well. Yeah. It's not spectacular and it doesn't have to be. Yeah. All the other stuff is good. It looks cookie cutter. Yes. They all look exactly.
Starting point is 00:20:01 But I would say it's better. Yeah, definitely. There's no yucky pieces's better than like the store bought for sure. Anyway, so it's very good as Kome, which is a very good sushi spot, but it doesn't have to be. It's very good for how convenient it is, how fast it is.
Starting point is 00:20:18 And it's like close. Yeah. I mean, just to the office, we did all of this. We, it's not off fucking in austin somewhere it's off at airport lamar yeah it's in like the like the ranch 99 um parking lot with everything
Starting point is 00:20:30 asian marketplace there's a cream barbecue the fried chicken place uh i think okay hot dog or whatever is there what the fuck is donkey moe's did you drive by oh yeah the one on like over by east side pie the fuck i drive by that all the time and i was like there's donkey moe's? Did you drive by it? Oh yeah, the one over by Eastside Pies. The fuck is that? I drive by that all the time and I was like, there's Donkey Moe's. Donkey Moe is what, I have a friend named Andrew who is my barber masseuse mechanic, and Donkey Moe
Starting point is 00:20:56 sounds like something that he would call me if I was fucking stupid. Yeah. It's Korean fried chicken, huh? Donkey Moe? That's what it says. We'll have to go. I'm not surprising in that area. No, not in that area. Is Donkey Moe? That's what it says. We'll have to go. I'm not surprising in that area. No, not in that area. Is Donkey Moe's in that shopping center? Because I've seen Donkey Moe's over by Eastside Pies.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Donkey Moe's is where Eastside Pies was. That's across the street from Kome. Kome really soon. Thanks, Donkey Moe. That thing's been there, though. I've seen that sign for months. Gracie, when was the last time you had sushi? Oh, maybe like a month ago. Oh.
Starting point is 00:21:27 Are you a sushi fanatic? Here and there. I wouldn't say fanatic. You just, you've never been to Kura, though? No, I haven't. We should have to make another trip. Man, you know what? We should go back.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Oh, Nick immediately went out and said, oh, we'll go again. Yeah. I mean, Nick wants to go right now. We're going to get three Snoopies. Dude, yeah. The thing that me and Michael were good for you're good for another 15 plates right grace sure the thing that me and michael were saying was for as much as we ate and getting the two prizes and winding down like the whole thing or whatever yeah yeah yeah oh the
Starting point is 00:21:57 dessert was great by the way um that's how we got four plates exactly those counted as your plates they do yeah it was great uh i feel i'm not like oh my god i'm full it's just i'm not hungry anymore and it is the best it's so satisfied it's like oh that would be cool if i could do that all the time eric said it perfectly and i was thinking he goes i feel like a human being yeah like like this is how humans should work yep and i was like dude i exercised before we ate that and it's like wow really everyone should just kind of do this I know Nick he's showing me signs
Starting point is 00:22:29 I'm a little hungry of course but I was like I exercised it was hard but then I was like wow I'm glad I did that then we ate real food and not too much but like it's also clean food and it was like wow this is what we should do every day and then I was like and I'm gonna go out
Starting point is 00:22:46 and ruin it tonight I'm gonna take all of this goodwill and I'm gonna fucking drink too much and I'm gonna stay out too late and I'm gonna feel terrible but we should do this as humans it's just man this is great I don't feel like doing it tomorrow though
Starting point is 00:23:01 no but it's really enjoyable like when I was in Japan years doing it tomorrow. No, no. No, but it's really enjoyable. Like when I was in Japan years ago, it was like that all the time. It was like, oh, we ate just enough and now we're going to walk everywhere and it's great. Yeah, I see so many videos of cool places and restaurant concepts in Japan like that.
Starting point is 00:23:19 Like if you want to get ramen, but you're by yourself and you don't want to talk to anyone, you just go to these single people booths and like order on a path. Dude, that's exactly. And it comes through, like it parts the curtain. Cora has the same thing.
Starting point is 00:23:30 You can just go and sit by yourself at the bar. You're facing the revolving part. You don't have to talk to, you just, you walk up, you can put in your name for the order. They seat you at the table or like your like little booth thing or whatever. You can order off the pad or you can just grab stuff off the thing and you can take off also little
Starting point is 00:23:48 There's a little robot who brings us drinks. Yeah, that's true Well, well my kids hug it does it have arms no, no, that's what makes it easier to hug It's just a cylinder But I have a face it plays a little but it please know It's just a cylinder. Does it have a face? It plays a little song. No, but it plays jingles. It has a face, but it was letting us know where it was going.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Oh, okay. I expected more of like a character robot. It has a little face on it. I'm sorry, it's not good enough for you. It's just a fucking robot that delivers drinks in a restaurant. Sorry it's not awesome-o. But does it spin? I mean, it moves around.
Starting point is 00:24:20 Does it fly? It plays a little jingle. It gives you a limited amount of time to get your drinks and then probably leaves with them. My kids like to hug it. So then Nick hugged it and then that very same helpful waitress was about to come over and be like, stop hugging. I'm kidding you not. She was walking over.
Starting point is 00:24:36 She was mid-step when you let go of it and she just dropped her foot and went the other way. Sir, stop hugging the drink robot. The robot does tell you when it's about to depart. So it starts playing music and stuff. It's very convenient.
Starting point is 00:24:52 I have never once seen anyone bump into that robot. You'd think it'd be like the Jetsons. It plays a little tune. George is always getting tripped. It plays a little tune and it brings you a drink and Nick hugged it. So that's like the drinks robot then you order all the stuff if you want to order anything off the big menu was there
Starting point is 00:25:10 stuff that there was stuff that was like limited time that you could only order off the pad and then they have other food there too that doesn't come around on the conveyor belt I wish they had chicken we should have got french fries I mean I straight up brought it up.
Starting point is 00:25:25 They have French fries. They're very good, too. Yeah. They're super crispy. Totally. They're like triple crisp or something. They are very good. Nick is like,
Starting point is 00:25:34 go back for the fries? You would fucking freak over these fries. They're very good. I don't give a shit. They're very good. She'll be like, tell me about fries. I'm like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:25:43 It's a fucking potato. Let me say two things. On the fries as well. First thing I want to say, I think more restaurants should be like this where you can portion control actively and not feel like a horrible mess at the end. That's what makes me order more. Because it's like, oh, I am still hungry.
Starting point is 00:25:59 And you get to try variety. The variety I think is the best part. More restaurants need to do that. On the fries subject, I saw a TikTok of this I think is the best part. More restaurants need to do that. On the fries subject, I saw a TikTok of this guy who is a fry expert. Oh, yeah. I sent this to Eric. He's blindfolded and they're just putting fries in front of him and he'll touch it and smell it and be like,
Starting point is 00:26:16 this is a Wendy's fry. What? I know this. I know this. He doesn't even have to eat it before he does. I sent it to Eric and was like, is this Nick and Gracie? Yeah, it really was He grabs one and he feels it and he smells it and he's like I think this is one that I was making fun of This is Burger King
Starting point is 00:26:31 And he was like oh fuck And I do hate Burger King fries Thank you That's not surprising I mean it's Burger King I don't think I've been to a Burger King in like a decade So I don't know Welcome to Face Jam We've been to a Burger King in like a decade so I don't know well welcome to FaceGMO
Starting point is 00:26:46 so we're gonna go back to Burger King and Cura that's where we gotta go yeah we're making a list now we're not going tonight we're watching ambulance we're watching ambulance
Starting point is 00:26:54 in a couple minutes then I'm going on a bender Jesus Christ I've been very clear about this you're going on a bender yeah he's going on a bender tonight yeah he can't wait
Starting point is 00:27:01 solo no you wanna go sure okay I'll go on a bender she took it up earlier she't wait. Solo? No. Do you want to go? Sure. Okay. I'll go on a bender. She took it up earlier. I don't own downtown. She can go. I'll just tell you where it's happening. Massive bender. Downtown Austin.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Get the text. Is there anything you'd change about Cora? Is there anything that you'd want to see different? I wish I had better cell service. I don't get that problem, too. I don't get good cell service. No, it's like a service thing. For sure.
Starting point is 00:27:37 What do you have? T-Mobile. I have Verizon. I have AT&T. Either one works. I think AT&T is the one that works the best there. It's that shopping center. It sucks ass.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Which pisses me off because I want to use the fucking self-checkout. And you can't if it takes you 97 minutes for the screen to load. Mentioning the shopping center again. That's the worst part about it. 100%. What I would change is I would put it anywhere fucking else because that is the worst parking lot. It's the worst parking lot ever. There's about 8% of how many spaces there should be.
Starting point is 00:28:06 And they're all super thin. They're all super thin and traffic goes both ways. It's terrible. Why does traffic go both ways on those roads? It makes no sense. It should be one way and then one way. You cannot. It wasn't bad at all because we were early.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Yeah. That is way worse for lunch than the restaurant. I have gone to cura before from my fucking house made a reservation got there on time took so long to get fine parking that i lost the reservation no way just like 10 minutes like after the time yeah i kid you not 15 17 minutes to find parking and if you're going for dinner dinner, I was upset. The waits are insane for dinner there. Oh, I timed it perfectly. It was like a 90-minute wait.
Starting point is 00:28:50 I'm like, if I join now, and I leave my house now, and I'm driving, and I'm going, this is perfect. This is perfect. I'm pulling in. It's like, your table's ready. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:28:59 17 minutes to find parking. And then it's like, oh, it's like another 90 minutes if you just want to be on the list again. Hell no. I will say that that whole shopping center is so crowded because it is just banger place to eat after banger place to eat. It is.
Starting point is 00:29:13 It's very good. And you got Kinokuniya there, which is a great manga bookstore. A toy store. Yeah, like Japanese trinkets. Range 99. It's a great combo. Daiso. You go in there. Yes. Japanese trinkets. It's a great combo. Daiso. That Korean fried chicken place that we went to
Starting point is 00:29:28 when our friend Cole moved away. I'm just saying it like that. Cole! When he moved away from me! That's me being mad about Cole. He lives in Japan now. We went to that place. I've been back to that place so many times.
Starting point is 00:29:43 I love that Korean fried chicken place. I love been back to that place so many times. I love that Korean fried chicken place. I love their signs outside. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's getting warm in here. It's cool. You getting hot? I'm getting hot. Is it like a million hours in already?
Starting point is 00:29:53 What's with the vent? Why isn't it blowing? It stopped. He probably turned it off. Yeah, 100%. You know it. I wanted to mention because I don't know if you wanted to throw it in
Starting point is 00:30:01 to drive back. Oh my fuck, we's that it. It was a double whammy. It was a wham bam. There was the red herring. I saw you pull. You were in the right lane of the roundabout, and I wouldn't have been behind you.
Starting point is 00:30:15 It would have been two cars behind you. And I went, oh, just be behind the one car that's in the left lane. Foolish move. We talked about this. Oh, yeah. I got in the parking lot as we were pulling out. We're behind a car and this car stops, puts on
Starting point is 00:30:32 its hazards. Everyone gets out of the car and walks away and then one person walks around and gets back in. Oh my god! I was like, why did everyone have to get out? Why did you change drivers? That's pretty cool. It took them about three minutes to do it, too. So it was just me and Nick sitting there.
Starting point is 00:30:48 So we get to the roundabout. Ours was a lot more high octane. I mean, the roundabout we've talked about where it's just like, nobody knows how to drive it. This person certainly didn't. It was just that. They were just waiting for, and Michael just kept going, what do they want?
Starting point is 00:31:01 I was like, what is their green light scenario yeah because it's been no cars for so long like i don't like they're waiting for a sign like i don't i don't know what's gonna make them go so eventually they fucking go and it takes so long but as they go in the roundabout they put on their right blinker and mike is like oh they're getting they have to like get over line they're all fucked up yeah no and then they were just letting you know that they were getting in the roundabout and going right back to the office we're driving by for like 20 seconds and i'm just like so does he still need to make a right and he just can't nope he's too scared to do it or was this the way he was going nope just just put on his blinker to let you know he's going right in
Starting point is 00:31:39 the roundabout terrible driver they were a bad driver the whole way down and then we get a little further down past the home depot dude kind of like past like around like the hospital or whatever and we're we're going through somebody's in the like middle kind of island but there's no left turn and there's also no oncoming traffic so they just they just keep going left. They just kind of scooped into the wrong side of the road. Eric just started going, pointing, just pointing and yelling.
Starting point is 00:32:13 Do you have a dash cam? No. Michael was like, that happened for so long, you had enough time to be like Leonardo DiCaprio and point and yell. It had to be at least him driving on the wrong side of the road for like five, eight seconds. Five seconds probably. More than like a second.
Starting point is 00:32:29 And just going on the wrong side of the road to turn left into a place that he didn't like, you could have just gone further and he was just driving on the wrong side of the road. But made a concerted effort to drive on the wrong side of the road. Why? It was fucking crazy. Yeah. Dude, that's awesome. Right in the middle of the day? It was fucking crazy. Yeah. Dude, that's awesome. Right in the middle of the day.
Starting point is 00:32:46 It was fucking nuts. And it was just like, whoa, what the shit? There's always something. Huh? I don't know why. And it looked like there was no hesitation. Like, oh, no, fuck. It was just like, I'm just going to drive right over there.
Starting point is 00:32:58 And now I'm over here. And now I'm making a left turn. This would have been a right turn. Now it's a left turn. It was like, oh, that's fucking crazy. Okay. So that was our eventful drive back from Kura. And the whole time we're going, man, I feel good.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Like we ate so much, but like, I don't feel full. Ah! Yeah. Yeah. I'm glad it was not at us. Sounds like every drive back. Yes. It really is, dude.
Starting point is 00:33:24 So Kura Sushi, Peanuts Co-Lab, 100 million percent. Big win. Big dub. Huge thumbs up. I mean, like, you can go. Well, calm down. You can go and eat lunch by yourself for like $20. Yes.
Starting point is 00:33:35 Literally. You just get like two little things. You get a little dessert. It's good. A little $3.50 for a snack. It's worth popping in. I've never gone there by myself. You could be out of there in 15 minutes.
Starting point is 00:33:44 Oh, definitely. That's awesome. It can be a quick service thing if you just want to dip in, get some sushi, and take off. The sushi's good. The golden Snoopy keychain premium item was not on. You couldn't buy it. No, you couldn't buy it. You started tapping blank spots. I was like,
Starting point is 00:33:59 how weird that there's a spot on the top left that's empty. Maybe it's a secret button and nothing happens. I want him. Congratulations, adventurer. Mutant Maru shows up. He's like, oh, you touched the secret button. Oh, we didn't even talk about the fucking video when we put the plates in.
Starting point is 00:34:14 We should be quick because we have to wrap this up. Dude, we don't want this to be longer than the video. You fed plates to fight the shark. He threw wasabi in the shark's mouth, got the recipe back, then shares the recipe with everyone. Doesn't make any sense. If you like that, watch the video
Starting point is 00:34:29 that we recorded and you can see it twice. Yeah. There's like six different clips that I can play and we got the same one twice. Yeah. I've never gotten
Starting point is 00:34:37 the same one twice before. Yeah, me neither. The one I always get is the Washington DC one. That's the only one that I've ever seen. And he says, I'm at the Capitol and he's in front of the White House.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Oh, hell yeah. Gracie settled this for us. Are you, you do wasabi or no? Yeah. Do you think it's spicy? Can you taste it? Yes. I can. Don't dare to add to the thought.
Starting point is 00:35:02 He's so annoyed. Yes, obviously. I have my limits. We just haven't Why are you so annoyed? Yes. Obviously. I have my limits. We just haven't seen one ever. We haven't begun to see one. We were theorizing. It's like, well, it's a different kind of spice. It's more in the nose.
Starting point is 00:35:14 So she could probably feel that one. Eric was in a hell no. I was like, no, not at all. Oh, really? Okay. We, however, believed in you. Jesus Christ. Thank you guys.
Starting point is 00:35:22 I believe in no one. Yeah. Well, that's Kuro. We definitely recommend that believed in you. Jesus Christ. Thank you guys. I believe in no one. Yeah. Well, that's Kuro. We definitely recommend that you get that. If we keep going one more minute, this will be as long as... Oh, no! Cut it. We gotta wrap it up so that way you can go see something longer.
