Someone was like, have you tried the chicken nuggets now. That's what it felt like Yeah, someone was like have you tried the chicken nuggets of Taco Bell? I went what the fuck and I looked at my app and I went I'm about to I didn't think that we were gonna do it for an episode I think that's why he keeps using the word debate is he for some reason we were having an intellectual teta-tet Taco Bell in the check-in
Starting point is 00:02:02 Nuggets why the fuck wouldn't we do this for an episode? And he's like, because we were just there. I don't know though. It's like, they're making chicken nuggets. It's been the year of Taco Bell. It's 2025 technically now when this comes out, and it's still the year of Taco Bell. You're right, it has been the year of Taco Bell.
Starting point is 00:02:18 And we've gone, since May when this show started, quote unquote, I think we've been to Taco Bell four times. Yeah, well, we talked about it sort of earlier in the year and everything. this show started quote unquote. I think we've been to talk about four times. Well, they, we talked about it sort of earlier in the year and everything. They laid out their whole roadmap for like, look at all the limited stuff we're going to do. And we're like, oh, that's great for the show. It has been just blow after blow or it's like, stop, stop, slow down. I forgot the chicken nuggets were part of this. Yes. Yeah. I started, I, they released all these, all the stuff and there was, there was no, I mentioned chicken nuggets were part of this yes. Yeah, I So did I they released all these all the stuff and there was there was no I mentioned chicken nuggets
Starting point is 00:02:47 I would have gone what the fuck yeah, I didn't know and also we hadn't even Had the conversation of like oh, you know the chicken nuggets. It was just me going what the fuck yeah It's they were out for they've been out for a few weeks now. Yeah, they've been out for a minute The decades menu is still available. Yeah, and now you can get the pie. Nope. What do you mean no? What do you mean no? Went to order it today, was not on the menu.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Probably sold out. People grabbing all the sauces and the pies. That's true, you did have to limit the sauces. That's right, it's like an empanada, right? Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. But then also they didn't have one of the three special sauces, so Michael made them pay. Monkey style.
Starting point is 00:03:24 I did, that's not why I did it. They are two unrelated events. You can draw those in. It was a sauce taco bar. Yep, and Nick was standing next to it holding the bag of food, and I went, block me, block me. Then his back was to the register
Starting point is 00:03:41 where there was one person, and he just kind of stood there, and I just shoveled him with just different sauces into the bag. Anyone else would have been like, why? He's going, oh, oh. It's like taking the money out of the vault. And he was watching it go in the bag.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Michael explained right before you're doing the episode that it meant so little to him to take the sauces that he was just doing it because it was like for the thrill, like it was something to do. He like it's like a billionaire robbing a bank a billionaire robbing a bank with people who aren't billionaires and everyone's like okay whatever you don't have these at home yeah we gotta get out of here okay it was so many just handfuls of sauces no but so they've got the the new crispy chicken nuggets and with that they have three new sauces. No, but so they've got the new crispy chicken nuggets
Starting point is 00:04:25 and with that they have three new sauces. I don't know if they're temporary or not, but they're like actual little like dipping cups and sauce packets. And they have what? Fire Ranch. They've got Bell sauce. Yeah, Bell sauce.
Starting point is 00:04:40 That's what it's called. Smokey sauce. And then it's like a spicy. Jalapeno honey mustard. Jalapeno honey mustard.. It's Chipotle one. Smoky sauce, and then it's like a spicy... Jalapeno honey mustard is the last one. There it is, jalapeno honey mustard. They didn't have that one. So you can, they're getting, they're real stingy on these. Yeah, Eric kept hitting arrow up.
Starting point is 00:04:54 I thought it was like freezing. The number wouldn't go up. You'll get one sauce with the five piece, you get two sauces with the 10 piece, but you can also just buy them separately for a quarter, but you're limited to two. Because I think everyone is just buying them and not getting the chicken, because you're getting like,
Starting point is 00:05:11 oh, I got people like Nick are out there going like, oh, I don't get sauce. They stop by, they place a quarter on the counter and go, gimme. Yeah, they limit you to buy two extras and they didn't even have the jalapeno honey mustard. Yeah, and then- That one must be the most popular then.
Starting point is 00:05:24 I mean, him took it. I kinda wanna try it. I meaneno honey mustard. Yeah, and then I'm like him took it I kind of want to try honey mustard with chicken make sense. How many mustard? jalapeno Nostrad jalapeno Nostrad jalapeno must go on go on keep workshopping it we can get there. It's like making my big my brain feel like itchy We got here to order and this is all part of the ride along which will come out You know in time and as close as that Taco Bell is to where we were how long record And or live some of us live
Starting point is 00:06:03 We almost real artists Don't worry your hearts here like that. That's more. Yeah, it's concerning on his like Taking all the life force from the plants We have a watering can now you do and it says for plants. Yeah. Yeah, we're good They're the only things getting water around yes Jordan was sitting out there. He goes. I'm still out of water and I was like, yep, and he's like, hmm Interesting I thought that you could fill it up a quick trip Cool. Wow, he found out. Yeah cool didn't do I went to quick. He went to quick trip and saw it
Starting point is 00:06:39 Why it's not like I had the bottle with me fucking dunce We already talked about getting extra I know we're like have four so like two could be empty and Backups we got that we got that whole room there that could just be water bottle storage Eric. What did Nick say nothing? He just called him a fucking Don't talk to your mother that way Oh, fuck it. No. No. Don't talk to your mother that way.
Starting point is 00:07:04 It was just so, like, no. I'll save your room. No, like, just. Yeah. Yeah, that room, your room. Just no punch behind it. A waterless room. We went to this Taco Bell,
Starting point is 00:07:15 and they have big iPad screens to order from, and, oh, limited time, boom. Here's the crispy chicken nuggets, it's like five things that you can get. There's a five piece, a 10 piece, and then like two different boxes, whatever. And I'm about to tap and I'm like, oh, hey, should we get the,
Starting point is 00:07:31 and before I finish the sentence, before you guys get a word out, Ninja just goes, yeah! Yeah. Yes. No, he did. He did. Yeah. And then you were like, I was talking to the hose and he goes listen to me Jordan almost drew a line the sand and ordered something
Starting point is 00:08:05 Yeah, it's like the difference between think full and thoughtful It's true. They listen. They listen to me. They hear everything. They're sure. Yeah. It's like the difference between thinkful and thoughtful. Oh my god. So we ended up getting the five piece nugget box, but it came with a taco, a chalupa, and the fries. And the fries came with... Are these fries new, by the way? New-ish. they've been...
Starting point is 00:08:26 They've been around for a while. A couple years. This is I think the longest they've ever had them. Yes, they are. They're usually limited like a month or whatever. Oh, they're back! But now it feels like they're back and part of this. Like you're saying, should it be a French fry?
Starting point is 00:08:42 Recently, for the first time, it was only a couple months ago, they have now like large fries. Yep. They only used to ever do like one size. The little cups. And now it's like, no, we have large! Which makes me further think like they're trying to stick. They're gonna stick with it.
Starting point is 00:08:53 And it comes with the cheese. Which was the wateriest cheese I've ever seen at a Taco Bell. I don't know. It was wet. If you shook it, it was wrong. If you shook it, you could hear could hear going like a cup of water It was never seen it that can you're expecting it to be nacho cheese from ballpark?
Starting point is 00:09:11 That's what it's supposed to be exactly. Yeah, this this was like if you poured it from a tap Was like it was so maybe they stopped at quick trip you could You could have did you could have taken a shot of the cheese It's like and he did and I tried to dip my fries in it and it just made the fries wet Everything talk about doesn't travel super well No, it doesn't but it also kind of like doesn't matter that much sometimes it doesn't travel well from the kitchen to your car. Yes Very true, but you say it doesn't travel well while also kitchen to your car. Yes. Yes. Very true.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Like you say it doesn't travel well while also pointing out how close we were. Right. It's not like a 25 minute drive. It was like, oh, the crunchy shell got soggy. Dude, you saw when I pulled that taco, I saw the hard shell taco. It was already soft on the bottom
Starting point is 00:09:59 and it already like sagged apart where it wasn't even. The hard shell taco. Yeah, it wasn't even like, it was, you know, that two flat pieces of shell because the bottom has already separated. That's crazy that we, I was like, it must've like,
Starting point is 00:10:11 they dipped it in water before they gave it to you. Yeah, well they'd been throwing the wet cheese around back there. Yeah, the chalupa was also like. Chalupa is always gonna be the, that's gonna be, that's like my favorite thing at Taco Bell, the chalupa, and that is a wet slop mess, and I-
Starting point is 00:10:28 And I added jalapeno cream to it. Yeah, how was that? It's good. It's what they put in the quesadillas. Jalapeno, he knows, he's clapping for it. I don't know if this is a recent development, but HEB is selling Nando's peri-peri sauce. Is that right? Yeah, picks them up.B is selling Nando's peri peri sauce. Is that right? Yeah, pick some up. Are they selling Nando's peri peri chicken? No, you can put it on your own

Taco Bell quote, scored the ultimate stamp of approval from America's number one ranch, Hidden Valley Ranch, end quote, and created Fire Ranch sauce with quote, harmoniously come, okay, which sorry, quote, harmoniously combines the flavors of Taco Bell's most popular hot sauce with the flavor of Hidden Valley Ranch in an unexpected matchup so addicting it will have everyone double dipping till the last bite. Gracie's not here, so we will not be double dicking.

Starting point is 00:27:10 I I don't know if it's fire or hot and it says fire ranch sauce definitely right if it definitely wasn't spicy No, but it did taste like Taco Bell more than ranch. You know what I mean, which is a good thing for me Yeah, I'm not a huge. I don't love ranch. I liked That I liked that. I liked that dip, especially for those nuggets. I thought that, I thought that ranch dip was, we knew that you liked the dip. You didn't know that.

It was really good. Whoa, we're debating again. Now, now this is pretty interesting because one of you gets a vote in the show and the other one doesn't. One of you gets a vote in the show and the other one does what he's told. Do you know who's who? You figure it out.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Sit there and make the jokes, Jordan. I listen to him. Yeah. Just like I want to. You got it, boss. Laugh funny man. Laugh? Yeah, why would we laugh?

Starting point is 00:29:13 Taco Bell does Taco Bell Japan does not carry Baja Blast We learned this from our friend Cole who lives in Japan and when you ask him if there's anything he needs he begs you To send him Baja Blast. This is a real fact about Taco Bell and our friend Cole. Yep. We talked about this at the ride along. Me and Jordan learned this from our friend Cole the other day when he told us, and we talked about it on the ride along, where he rations out his Baja Blast that he gets from
Starting point is 00:29:38 friends and then comes back to the States and gets more Baja Blast to ration out. I like this. Not like that. Yeah. This is the world's most most okay-est soda. He talked about that and then later in the conversation my wife was like we should do some sort of care package swap like oh my god like something and he was like you know you can send some stuff to us from Japan like snacks or skincare stuff and it's like and if you want anything for America, and he just goes Bob last
Starting point is 00:30:08 They could just said you can send me a blast and also It really was Bob last He was so ready, okay, it's always at the top of his mind apparently it's I Crazy crazy, but then he comes back to the US and he's just like going fiend on it. So he doesn't have to ration when he's here. Exactly. You know, just go off bro. Damn.
Starting point is 00:30:34 It is just okay. I think it's fine. I think of all the times we've had Taco Bell this year, this is the first time I actually got one. Yeah, right. That wasn't watered down. You went finally. Yep. You got regular Mountain Dew. I always get regular. Well, he knows got one. Yeah, right. That wasn't watered down. You went finally. Yep.
Starting point is 00:30:45 You got regular Mountain Dew. I always get regular. Well, he knows that sucks. Yeah, I'm just, I like regular Mountain Dew better. Says my wife, she gets embarrassed when she goes to Taco Bell and orders Mountain Dew because they're like, Baja Blast, and she has to go, no, regular.
Starting point is 00:30:58 How many times does she go, okay. Zero, because she is, she's a gremlin for Mountain Dew. Like, she will keep gremlin for Mountain Dew. She will keep a bottle in the fridge and like, not like the big like- 20 ounce. Yeah, it's like that, because for her, that's a lot. She'll be like under the blanket reading Rackindle
Starting point is 00:31:16 and she's like, I'm going gremlin mode. And then she'll drink her Mountain Dew with two hands. It's like, you just love Mountain Dew? Like Mountain Dew? Mountain Dew, two hands. It's like I you just love Mountain Dew like Mountain Dew She's just not a gamer so it doesn't really click you know what I mean? Yeah, you better be playing games over that blanket Hey quit reading That better be an RPG Activity for that fucking drink. I think Mountain Dew should lean into that like the other activities you can do with Mountain Dew starts getting on like book talk Yeah, and it's just yeah, whoa feel love with Mountain Dew and read three books in one day cheese
Starting point is 00:31:53 She's over. She's over 365 for the year so she's on Mountain Dew's Mountain Dews and books four thousand yeah, oh Mountain Dews way over, I think. Oh man, that's twice as many as me. It's infinitely more than you. Yeah. Zero. In 2015, Taco Bell made a restaurant entirely out of shipping containers in Austin, Texas
Starting point is 00:32:16 for South by Southwest. After the festival ended, they shipped the restaurant to South Gate in Los Angeles, where it still stands in operation today with a banner hung on the side assuring everyone that it's open because if you just look at it you assume someone is pulling an impractical Joker style prank on you telling you quote, oh yeah, that right there, that's the Taco Bell. Classic Sal. Is one of them named Sal? Yeah. There you go. Yeah, one is named Sal. That is... That's crazy. Why did they build it in Austin
Starting point is 00:32:48 and then send it to Southgate? It was for Southbuy. Because Southbuy, Southgate. So they went like, oh it's so- Probably already had half of it printed on the shipping label, I don't know. It looks like, I showed you one angle, whatever. You have to see it more from like the side like this,
Starting point is 00:33:03 where it's so- Yeah, that doesn't look like a Taco Bell. It doesn't look like an anything. No, that's why I'm saying if Sal came up to you And he went a is the taco bowl right here In practical jokers was a thing I feel like when we were at rooster teeth They would be like how can we sell some ideas to like Impractical Jokers? And I'm like I don't think that's something that they want or need I think they're all they need it I think they're good. I don't need it. No, I don't think they want it I don't think they want anything to do with I think people who watch the show should want and need it
Starting point is 00:33:41 Yes, but they don't and they just go feed me my slop want and need it. Yes. But they don't and they just go feed me my slop. Give me. Impractical Jokers is like. Impractical Joke Me. Impractical Jokers is like the KFC slop bowl. Yes, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Of like a prank show or whatever. It's like, we're messing with each other. Yeah. I'm just like, what is this? It's like how Big Bang Theory was like the most popular show on TV. Yes, yeah. And it's like, why?
Starting point is 00:34:03 It's not like, wow, it's actually really good. It's just like, it's most popular because it's like me and just you TV show. That's impractical jokers. Again, I don't know anything about them. They got them. They saying silly things to people. So do they prank each other?
Starting point is 00:34:17 I think so. Okay. So it's like, no, talk to that guy. No, you gotta rub your belly while you're talking. It would be like a Mega 64 skit if Sean were telling Rocco, okay, now eat the trash out of the trash can. Okay, so it's not as good as a Mega 64 skit.
Starting point is 00:34:31 But also they're not eating trash out of the trash can. Yeah, they're just like, pick up the spaghetti and put it on your head. Yeah, it's much dumber. It's so PG. It sounds like a tame version of like between the games where you guys would like do stuff but like not out in public but where it's like we're razzin' each other. Yes. But this is like a contrived instance where it is
Starting point is 00:34:54 like oh I'm gonna make him put the spaghetti on his head. Hey put the spaghetti on your head. Yeah it's not like oh they have such a great dynamic. Yeah. In in doing something else. I've watched minutes of the show. It's usually just one of them. Like a Top Gear? And then they have that separate shot, which is certainly not happening at the same time. Where they're like, now do this.
Starting point is 00:35:13 And it's like, he's showing them live right now. And you're like, no, he's not. What do you mean? But they're showing it. There's like a thousand tapes. And they're just talking to no one. Us in the room is the food. And the thing that gets Top Gear is the cars yeah, and then hilarity ensues
Starting point is 00:35:27 They're just like get to the part where the hilarity with the spaghetti on your head. Yeah, Sal Yeah, oh that guy who told me where the Taco Bell is oh Love those guys Taco Bell cares about protecting the planet, vowing that in 2025 they will be adding composting bins to all restaurants and making all customer facing packaging recyclable, compostable, or reusable. Hang on to your Doritos Locos Taco Wrappers, guys. You can keep using them.
Starting point is 00:36:00 We're through with microplastics. We're doing macroplastics now, bigger plastics than ever that keep you in your home or office would you live in and bring out when your boss comes over for Sunday dinner. Oh no, you only have Whataburger macroplastics. You're fired. Face palm. Black and white face palm emoji.
Starting point is 00:36:18 The idea that they're going, yeah, we're going to make all of our stuff recyclable or compostable or you can reuse it, is just, those are so different. Those are, none of those things are in the same length. They're not all the same thing. Well, when you order, you pick which combo you want. Can I get the reusable combo?
Starting point is 00:36:36 Oh, and then he knows, he'll tell us. Yeah, you go, hey, can I get the, yeah! Yeah! That was really loud. Yeah! I damp it up, man. It's shrieking, shrieking also nobody knows what composting is yeah, so they're just like just food trash like trash I put it in the for bugs. I don't know put in the ground or whatever if it can return to Mother Earth compostable That's like humans. Yeah, that's us when I die. Yeah, when I died, we're totally compostable Yeah, when I died just compost me or whatever not compostable
Starting point is 00:37:06 No, we're gonna string you up dude. You'll be dangling back Do you think your cutout and you think this is reusable then I can take this home and just keep using it I mean, yeah, you could use it again. Yeah, I mean I could I wouldn't plastic cup. Yeah Why wouldn't you? Everybody forgets about the reduce part of reduce, reuse, recycle. I don't forget, I should ignore it. That's what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:37:29 This guy knows. Did you know? Maybe, don't care. Yeah, that's an impractical jokers bit. Hey, forget about reduce. Hey, reuse, recycle. Classic Sal, they got him again. And then- Real hilarious.
Starting point is 00:37:40 And then he reuses the cup. He's gonna get the impractical jokers fans pissed off. I know. They're both gonna be furious That's hugely popular But with people who watch this yes We've been dying no, I don't know fucking God Chive TV

So the talk about crispy chicken nuggets, their five crispy chicken nuggets featuring all white meat, chicken, marinated in jalapeno buttermilk, what and breaded with tortilla chips. What served with your choice of one dipping sauce. If they have it, is that why the nuggets were different colors. Yes
Starting point is 00:43:45 Yeah, I guess that makes sense was it really tortilla chips. Mm-hmm That's like the all the branding and everything all over it is I didn't I eat ship crust You can't tell by looking at you can't tell by tasting it. Yeah, you can tell when they burn them. Yeah They are weird looking little nuggets they are and they're all different sizes colors Yeah, some are almost like tender size. Yes And some are like little baby dinky. My box was tiny. Yeah, and sometimes you get six. Yeah You open the first box until like looking in like showing the video whatever and I was like wait open it back up
Starting point is 00:44:19 You know, like oh there's six and we're like, oh and you're like who wants the sit and they're like me Like and you guys had to listen to him. So yeah, he got it That's what it's all about winning big W for Nick Ten times Nick got big W's were down bad for Six times we are down bad for chicken nuggets Well, no, it's five times, but then there's a six Also didn't get the jalapeno buttermilk like marinated Tastes like it at all no it tastes like chicken nuggets. It was chicken nuggets
Starting point is 00:45:01 Yeah, I was hot and that's also cuz I was putting it in the fire ranch song Yeah, I didn't I didn't get like the jalapeno from just the chicken. I'll say eating them. Mm-hmm. They're fine nuggets. Mm-hmm but Reading about how they're made They don't taste and not getting any of that. It kind of makes them worse than hindsight interesting. That's My head is now like like most things to talk about I think the sauces are doing the heavy lifting you mean the Hidden Valley trademark fire ranch sauce Yes, Taco Bell's first ever ranch partnership which blends two iconic flavors Taco Bell fire sauce and Hidden Valley
Starting point is 00:45:36 More details below. It's definitely It tastes like Taco Bell it it definitely tastes like Taco Bell. It wasn't that spicy. No, but Fire... Well, the ranch probably cut it, because ranch cuts hot, right? You eat like hot wings, you suck on the ranch. Suck it down while watching Chi TV? They should have gone one up. They spiced it up while cutting it down.
Starting point is 00:45:55 Instead of fire sauce, they should have gone whatever the next level is, which is... Well, it's different. There is no next level. Diablo's a different sauce. Yeah. Fire is the hottest. Yep. What about Del Scorcho? That's a different company. Oh, sorry. It. Yep. What about del scorcho? That's sorry. It's bell scorcho
Starting point is 00:46:10 It's like something my grandpa would say what the Bell scorchosa I'll make you say that. No, I maybe don't put this spaghetti on your head That just sums up I think it's such a good bit for them cuz boy it really sums up what I think in practical Jokers is right doesn't matter if that is what it is or not no It's fun to believe it. Yeah, that's kind of an insult. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I'm wearing Italian bread for shoes Hey, hey guys, I'm gonna make him put the spaghetti on his head. Hey, stop put the spaghetti on your head And then my dad or people like him are going I can't wait to see these guys live. You see this they have a I can't wait to see these guys live you see this they have a
Starting point is 00:47:10 They have a live show they do like a stage. How do they do an impractical jokers? Well, they come out on the stage and then and then Nick Nick says laugh funny man Ha ha ha! I don't know what it was. It was the comedian. It's really weird that comedians were like that. I don't really understand what this was. You get some dickhead that has a stand of comedian or whatever. And they're like, you're supposed to be funny? Tell me a joke. They say you're really funny. Let's see. Let's hear you laugh
Starting point is 00:47:52 All right Bell scorch of sauce, okay The all-new Bell sauce offers a familiar rich creamy and tangy signature blend with subtle chili notes crafted with tomatoes red chilies and garlic Huh? It doesn't taste anything like that. I know it doesn't Mesquite? Is it Chipotle? It's like a smoky, mesquite. A little smoky. Yeah. It was very, I felt like it was really oily.
Starting point is 00:48:12 Like, I felt like that sauce wasn't, there's like a thickness to the other ones, like, because it's ranch. There's like a thickness to it or whatever. This had a thickness that was like mayonnaise. It looked like glissani. It was really strange. I don't know what the base of it is,
Starting point is 00:48:26 but it was like, I liked it. I wish someone looked at me like Eric looks at sauces. I was so discreet. I was just like, oh, I just thought it was kind of brown. Yeah. It was kind of brown. It was like, it was like, She's not pretty good, man.
Starting point is 00:48:40 This guy knows. It was like a darker color than the other one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I could tell you. Just not even using words to really describe it. It was like a darker color than the other one. Yeah Just not even using words to really describe it it looked like the one but kind of different Mmm, and then finally the last one we didn't get happy pino humminest or Rounding out the trio is the jalapeno honey mustard that fuses. I'm also fusses That fuses sweet and heat featuring honey mustard with a kick the jalapeno honey mustard that fuses, I almost said fuses, that fuses sweet and heat featuring honey mustard with a kick of jalapeno. Wouldn't know.
Starting point is 00:49:10 That sounds good. I think it sounds okay, honestly. I don't think it sounds good at all, honestly. I don't think it sounds very good. I think honey mustard with jalapeno sounds whack. Yeah, but as we have been noticing, the way they describe it and how it actually tastes very different So this probably just tastes like humminest probably does taste like yeah, yuck. No, we have our review. No, but now we have
Starting point is 00:49:35 Material you wrote this bro. Yeah this morning, right? That's why you should remember it. Yeah, I mean Well, you should remember it. Yeah, I mean it's Did we get a printer shut up shut up I didn't have to go to office Depot Quote as the inventors of nacho fries Taco Bell's fully aware that reinventing an American classic with a Taco Bell twist is a Responsibility, we don't take lightly. Okay. But in a world dominated by chicken cravings, it was time to show the world how Taco Bell does chicken nuggets. Unexpected. It was an undeniably bold. It wasn't said Taco Bell's chief marketing officer Taylor Montgomery The crispy chicken nuggets deliver a crispier more flavorful nugget experience and combined with the hidden Valley trademark fire ranch sauce We hope it will test people's devotion to their favorite nuggets. Whoa, they're trying to disrupt
Starting point is 00:50:43 Chicken economy, yes, you ever think of eating a chicken nugget as an experience? No. Did you experience when I also didn't think I didn't think that chicken nuggets were an American classic that if someone were to reinvent would be a huge responsibility. I think you never making chicken nuggets, but now making chicken nuggets doesn't define as reinventing a chicken nugget. No, I think you've reinvented your menu and now making chicken nuggets doesn't define as reinventing a chicken nugget No, I think you've reinvented your menu. Yeah, now sell chicken. Yeah, you've gone towards I mean, I guess they like food I mean even if you want to say like we did this he didn't mention the tortilla chip part Why did they mention the part where it's like we did some crazy shit?
Starting point is 00:51:19 Inventing it they're thrilled about the ranch partnership by the way, they are they keep mentioning it They can't get enough of being put in with hidden Valley. Yeah, dude They're like made guys now It's the biggest and the most hidden you'll never be able to find this out got in with big big hidden ranch long time Also, why do they mention it? They invented the nacho fries. Because they're pointing out their previous successes as bold innovators. But also, like, these things are things that... Do you order the fries when you go to Taco Bell? Rarely. But I would when they went away.
Starting point is 00:52:04 Because I would go, oh, the fries are back. They're pretty good. Now I never get them. Exactly. And I wonder, or I guess we were talking about like- They're like, they're different. And I'm like, oh, they're like substantially different fries from other restaurants.
Starting point is 00:52:15 So when they came back, I'll get them. I'm not like, gotta get them. No. And I wonder if chicken nuggets, I don't think they're going to stick around right now. I think they'll go away, but I do think they'll come back and then be on a, like a more permanent basis and that no one's going to order them.
Starting point is 00:52:29 I just don't think that's a thing. You go to Taco Bell. There's so many other places that do this thing and what Taco Bell has no one else. Popeyes doesn't make a chalupa. I will say, I will say they should. I think that would be really good for like some fried chicken chalupa from Popeyes. Dude, think about it. Maybe this isn't a big demographic,
Starting point is 00:52:51 but I'm sure I can get this freak over here to agree. What it does open up though, I wouldn't go to Taco Bell in the future to get these chicken nuggets, but if you have kids that ain't gonna eat a taco, because taco's outside the fold, you can get them chicken nuggets and Taco Bell now. So now Daddy Nick gets to get his feast and feed
Starting point is 00:53:10 his fucking slop trough Taco Bell mess, and he can throw his kids some chicken nuggets. That is, that is, that's probably. So trust me, that's the first thing I thought. And then I was like, wait, I don't have to go to Taco Bell and McDonald's now? It is very introductory kid food, but also these are but they're also weird chicken These are my kids going I don't want these yes a hundred percent
Starting point is 00:53:31 They're like what do they look like they're like adult chicken they are they are in that you know They are a chicken nugget, but honestly no a chicken nugget because what they look like right and I have to be ashamed They are just like well. It's a chicken ball. You kind of pointed it out chicken nugget, bro They're like small chicken tenders. They're less of a nugget and more of like that tender, crunchy outside. They're chicken tenders that are mostly ball-shaped-esque. And that's what makes them nuggety.
Starting point is 00:53:57 But also sometimes you get a giant one that is literally just a chicken tender. Yes. Yep. Yeah, and like seeing the pictures of them that were posted on like our discord. Yeah, everyone got different looking Sizes and everything like even here even us. Yeah, like really really different six Remember who that was some got six and some got little ones that they were just fine with getting the little I got I got
Starting point is 00:54:19 I still got six, but they were six small ones. Yeah, Jordan is just fine with that Well, I was like, I'll take this one. Wanna try it again? Can I do it now, Jordan? I'm looking in between to see if there's anything else. I think we're good. Well, we have our review, but first we need to hear from you in a segment

Well, these are insane, but these aren't, yeah, these aren't, you know, they're crazy. It's good. I'll read the first one. Okay, this is this is from pooch. Yep Nick loved it a Team member by the name of Yaneli P was very rude and did not get my order, right? I went with my friends and Yaneli gave one of my friends right I went with my friends and Yaneli gave one of my friends attitude by making a mean face at her after innocently correcting Yaneli after Yaneli said her name wrong Yaneli displays
Starting point is 00:55:12 poor qualities to be in the service industry and she can't get simple instructions for an order right I'm disappointed yeah okay I bet yeah hey pooch didn't like how Yaneli didn't get someone's name right? It's pronounced poach Who like why would you even correct someone who here at Taco Bell gives a fuck Who gives a shit? Like getting your name right to get your order, right? Yeah, who gives a fuck? It's like if you got your name misspelled at Starbucks and you're walking away and you go, hang on, this is wrong. I better go tell them.
Starting point is 00:55:46 Yeah. Hey, you spelled my name wrong. Who fucking cares? Who gives a shit? Who gives a shit? Who cares? I'd be fine if they said, hey you. Yep.
Starting point is 00:55:55 Here's your food. Why are people always- Who cares? Also- What an insane thing to come on Yelp and write. They're just looking at the person. From pooch. They're always looking at the person to see like are you gonna make a face?

What did they do? They looked they look This is piss and they laughed at me that And then they said they piss and then they said that their piss was dirty piss That's such a great more like that one Outside of the category they were rude to me Then they gave me a piss drink and you're like no they didn't and then you're like and then they kept telling me piss drink piss drink
Starting point is 00:56:48 Drinking little piss drinks, and he started singing the song and pointing and laughing What are you talking about? Alright, I'll read Charlie's okay the next one's got a long one. This is Charlie B and Charlie says, Charlie Brown. Yeah, it could be good. This is really what he wrote. He says, holy fuck.

Yep. It would have been a great ride along. Yeah. Oh, yeah
Starting point is 00:57:52 We could have made it a two-parter. I I love holy fuck It's like guys you'll never believe this anyway really is so here I was once upon a time yeah, I bet you're wondering how I got here in line a Taco Bell Well, let me take you back to the beginning. I walked in That's it and here I am cut to present 16 years earlier records Yeah!
Starting point is 00:58:23 16 years earlier. The record's scratched. Oh my gosh. Uh huh. It's Craven. He just turns and looks at the camera and he goes, I got powers now. He just goes, It's fine.
Starting point is 00:58:34 That's a better movie. And then, and then Rhino grabs the camera and goes, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH and then he was like, I won't do that again. That's... That might be the... Do you think he kept doing it throughout the movie? He's like, That's't do that again. That's... That might be the- Do you think he kept doing it throughout the movie? He's like, that's gonna be my thing.
Starting point is 00:58:48 And they just cut out everyone except for that one. And he's like, well, no, it doesn't make sense. Yeah, he's like, well, now I look crazy. That's the best part of the movie, is when he does that, and everyone in the car went, what? That rock. Yeah, and then the one guy next to me went, whoa, that's the guy from the beginning.
Starting point is 00:59:02 His hair was different. No way. Oh my God. Wait, let's go from the beginning. His hair was different. No way. Oh my God. Wait, that bald guy was the guy with hair? You know what? What the fuck? And it's good, cause you know his hair is different cause he says my hair was different.
Starting point is 00:59:14 He said you wouldn't recognize if my hair was different. Also I didn't wear this backpack. I thought he was talking to his brother, but he was actually looking out to the audience. I was wondering why he spiked the lens. I bet you don't recognize me. He was talking to the guy next to you. Yeah Hey, I know you're confused. He went like this and in the movie went Then he winked It was really weird
Starting point is 00:59:37 And then he covered his mouth and he said this is for you and he covered his mouth and then that guy's name played Over the speakers. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's good. It's the way to do it one more. This is a this is a good one. I think right This is from Zach H February 30th 2024 at 730 a.m. Or p.m. We gotta know we don't know gotta know I do not know Yeah, uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yep. Okay, so you're getting it So you're catching on Yep, okay, so you're getting it. So you're catching on February 30th, yeah
Starting point is 01:00:19 24 at 730 better known as March. Oh, I know this would be March 3rd because there was a leap here. February 30th. That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. And then, and then what's the first sentence? I do not know what is going on. There's not a period there, but there should be. All right. I do not know what is going on with Taco Bell, but this is the worst Taco
Starting point is 01:00:45 Bell I have ever been to as far as customer service. I sit in a drive-thru for 5-10 minutes, waiting for someone to take my order. No answer. No LED screen on. No nothing. So I pull up to the window behind two cars, so I finally get to the window. This person does not see, and this person does not see, a car get to the window this person does not see and this person does not see a car sitting at the window Waiting to be served as a customer at this point
Starting point is 01:01:11 I am fed up and outraged at the way that y'all running that store I'm not trying to tell anyone how to do the job But I find the highly disrespectful and lack of tending to customers as a paying customer that is unacceptable What? Dot dot dot dot dot so I proceeded to take my order at the window Parentheses it's been 25 minutes hang on so I I know it's right. I want to I want to read it clear so the audience doesn't think it's me stumbling Okay, cool, so I proceeded to take my order at the window
Starting point is 01:01:42 It's been 25 minutes of taking my order at the window He had me drive back around to the drive-through again after waiting 30 minutes for someone to take a order and had me order again What manager conducts their customer service with such sarcasm and stressful to even take one order this Taco Bell definitely needs to be shut down Or needs someone to be fired because apparently they definitely have an attitude with a sarcasm Period lower case His excuse is that they have been swamped with orders when there is only one person in the drive-thru that they have not taken Order from and no operation inside and there's also a period in the middle. Yeah. Yeah I have her from now and no operation inside dot dot before we really break it down I have a theory he was stuck between times like
Starting point is 01:02:28 Absolutely what I think he's facing This is what we have here is what a ghost is yeah This is a ghost is a man who is unstuck from time. Yeah, he was listening to face jam Who is doing sarcasm to him? When did the sarcasm happen? Did you like the part when he mentioned customer service? What? Oh, you mean eight times?
Starting point is 01:02:53 Why, why was he waiting so long? If you're waiting 25 minutes and then you pull up to the window and no one's looking at you or helping you, you have to assume you are a ghost. Yeah. That is what you have to assume. You are unstuck from time, you are a ghost. That is what you have to assume. You are unstuck from time, you are a ghost. I wanna make...
Starting point is 01:03:08 It's like when... Look, if they're out there, probably listening. Kevin McAllister thought he made his family disappear, which is why he doesn't ask anyone for help or anything. He's just like, cool. That's it. That's the moment where you realize, oh, there's only one explanation.
Starting point is 01:03:24 I am Zach H. I am a ghost. I am Zach H. I am unstuck from time. It is February 30th, 2024 at 730 undisclosed AM or PM. Yes. I have been in line. It's both. It's Twilight and Dawn. This will be my final journal entry. In a Sisyphean existence, I have been in line for 25 minutes. I pull up to the window. the manager tells me to go back around I'm behind two cars once again It's reading it like like Dr. Manhattan February 30th, but to be clear he's not trying to tell anyone how to do the job Right. Yeah, but somebody should be fired February 30th sarcasm appears
Starting point is 01:04:06 within the top of the house sarcasm does not exist in this dimension I'm confused and frightened by its presence a car a car appears in the cafeteria as a non-corporeal entity I am unsure what to do Maybe that's what it is. Maybe he's had some sort of horrible accident, and he's reforming out the Taco Bell The ghost cars back You know we need you to drive through We need that face Dude what the fuck that one decades is crazy
Starting point is 01:05:04 There's a run-on sentence there that's like two paragraphs I think from like at this point to the end of the review. Yeah, it's close. It's one sentence. Yep. Holy moly. And like repeats a sentence more than once. So I proceeded to take my order at the window of taking my order at the window.
Starting point is 01:05:18 He's really unstuck in time. Yeah. Well, that's how, he's just explaining how it happened beat for beat. That's right. He starts doing his order. That's what he. That's it. He starts doing his order. That's what he's doing. And then he starts doing his order.
Starting point is 01:05:27 It's like an SOS message playing like, stuck at the window, stuck at the window. Yeah. He really is, he is so, he's beyond, he's in like a fifth dimension, and he's describing this in language that we, this is the only way we can understand time travel. Do you think maybe that's in Nick's cube dimension?
Starting point is 01:05:45 That's absolutely. Nick, do you have a February 30th in there? Yeah. Some years. February 30th? Oh, you know what? It's a lop year. A lop year.
Starting point is 01:05:55 February 30th, here we come. Lop it off. I think I looked up February 30th. Okay. Like when the last- What did you find? February 30th is real. Also Earth is flat. They're trying to hide the last two days of February.
Starting point is 01:06:10 February 30th existed from 1930 to 1931 after the Soviet Union introduced a revolutionary calendar in 1929. Okay, in Russia. The revolutionary person who invented that calendar is descendants now work for toggle We reinvented the chicken nugget by selling a chicken nugget Dude, just we've done it again This the you reviews are really good But now it's time for our review of the Taco Bell crispy chicken nugget Jordan start with you They are totally fine. Mm-hmm
Starting point is 01:06:44 Nugget Jordan start with you. They are totally fine. Mm-hmm Also, uh the bell sauce is good, okay, well that's not what Nick said I actually I like that hold you I like that one a lot. I liked it better than the ranch. Oh, okay, and had another like Layer of flavor and complexity to it. Mm-hmm And also it was darker. I don't know if we talked about that earlier Brown brown brown, little brown. Orange brown. One was orange, one was brown. But I mean it's, they're not reinventing the wheel here. They're just, they're chicken nuggets from Taco Bell. I expected them to be way worse. But they weren't burnt, which was nice. And they were nice and juicy on the inside. So they're just good chicken nuggets. I don't really have much to complain about.
Starting point is 01:07:30 So I'm just gonna I'll give them a 70 for it. Oh, wow. 70. Cool. That's what good food gets. It did what it was trying to do. I will say it is so much better than I thought it was going to be. Not that it's mate like again Nando's Excellent. Yeah, that was good. This was wow. These aren't fucking dog shit Yeah, I'll say is doing you mentioning the first time I got them. They were so fucking oh really the tortilla breading They were almost black. Oh, no, and so it's like it just tastes like burnt But but it was only the breading the inside was still pretty good like the inside tastes exactly the same as them not being burnt And it's it's a decent chicken and like you were saying earlier you were like
Starting point is 01:08:15 I don't think I've ever been this full from Taco Bell. Yes It's like the heartiest thing Taco Bell has ever made because they use like just well and also these tortillas They use shells everything they have is a container And then they just give you like a tiny bit of what they put in the container at the taco and it was like taco Me of me With everything the quesadilla is like In the middle yeah half of the quesadilla on each end has nothing in it like at all They can't do that with the chicken because it's just chicken.
Starting point is 01:08:45 So it's actually like- I think they'll try eventually. I was just saying you bite into it and it's hollow. Yeah. Get a time. Until they do that, it is like the most filling thing at Taco Bell. I'm very full. They're not bad.
Starting point is 01:08:56 I fucking love the ranch sauce. Like you were saying, I'm not a ranch person. I don't dislike ranch, but it's never my go-to. Putting the fucking fire sauce in it, which is like crack to me. I love that. It's revolutionary. No one fucking would have even thought of it.
Starting point is 01:09:12 It makes it so much more taste like Taco Bell sauce than ranch. But I do like the creaminess of it. I fucking love it. I love that sauce. I am outraged you can only get two at a time They gotta get their sauce shit together because they're always like out. I will say this is like the fifth time. I've eaten these things. Oh wow Because I had them they're burnt as fuck
Starting point is 01:09:34 I got to try them again and know if they're like this every time or they just don't know how to cook them because it's Talk about making chicken nuggets. They're like oh fucking no. It's gotta be wildly different Have they been basically different every time you've eaten them. They've been I will say Dude, I have straight-up gotten ones like like this big and like and not in a ball Just like like a fucking chicken tender To the annoying point where I'm like, it's like hard to get in the cup sauce You got to like rip it to fit in the sauce cup Thank God the first time I ever had them was the only time they burnt the fuck out of them
Starting point is 01:10:04 Yeah, but they're bad first impression though, but not fortunately was me Thank God the first time I ever had them was the only time they burnt the fuck out of them. Yeah. But they're still- What a bad first impression though. But not, fortunately it was me. Yeah. My first thought was like, man, if we ate these on the show, holy shit. Dude, I'm gonna give it a 10. Dude, like, and I will say,
Starting point is 01:10:17 I've never had them that burnt again, but they're still a level. They clearly like don't, like the timing must be so precise on these where like, I'd say whatever, the first one I ate, say like one through 10, it was like a three. Then I've had like a six, an eight, a seven,
Starting point is 01:10:31 where I'm just like, you never know what's kind of chicken you're gonna get. Today was pretty decent. Nothing radically different than the first one, but I still have been like, these are the best ones I've had. And then I ate it the third time and went like, hmm They're not as good as the last one better than the burnt ones
Starting point is 01:10:48 But they're pretty good as long as they don't fuck that up. You've got way more like data to work Yes, true far as the rate. I really wanted to know how many times they fuck them up Yeah, and so only one so far and that I don't know how long they were out at that point But that was the day I heard about them them Yeah, so it was probably real early like dude. What the fuck we do? I'm gonna cook this shit on it. I like them. They're pretty good. I'm with you. I don't see it's not like give me my goddamn pretzel Pub, I'm like no chicken nuggets at Taco Bell, but it is it is like I'm swing by Taco Bell get five nuggies and it's way more food than like five nuggies at McDonald's or Wendy's. They're much bigger.
Starting point is 01:11:26 Very filling. The sauce is fucking good. I love that fire ranch. The sauces do help a lot. So I'm with you. It's not like amazing, but it's way better than I expected from Taco Bell. Like the quality of this chicken is better
Starting point is 01:11:42 than the quality of almost any of their other food. It's like, I know the Taco Bell standard, it's higher than their usual standard. So it's surprising. I ate those nuggets and was like, well, it's pretty good. And then I went for a taco and was like, oh, this is awful. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:56 George was thrown about the taco. It was slop city. I watched him open his taco and he was a fucking mess. It's bad. But I actually really enjoyed them. I would, I'd say check them out. Yeah. I'm gonna give it an 80.
Starting point is 01:12:11 Nice. Well, that's an average score of 75. Compare it to the last shit we ate there. Holy fuck, dude. Nuggets for days. Stop going back. So 75 is the average score. And that's, when I recommend it,
Starting point is 01:12:23 if you're gonna go get the nuggets, if you're looking at the selection and you say, should we get the, just go, yeah! And then get that one. They're $10 box where you get like the five nuggets, the taco, the chalupa, the fries and all that stuff. Five to six nuggets. Yeah, and dude, that was so much,
Starting point is 01:12:41 I think because of the chicken, it's so fucking filling. That was so much food. I'll tell you this though, they're really not that expensive. Like you just get the five piece, I think because of the chicken, it's so fucking filling. That was so much food. I'll tell you this though, they're really not that expensive. Like you just get the five piece, I think it's like four bucks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That honestly is fucking filling for that cheap.
Starting point is 01:12:53 Like it's actually, like again, it's more than like three tacos worth of actual food. You could compete with chilies with those prices. I went the other day and just popped in for a snack, strictly for data. Again, I was like, I wanna go as many times as I can to see how many times they fucking burn this chicken Yep, and I was like, I'm just gonna get the chicken and same thing like I ate them
Starting point is 01:13:10 I'm like damn that was like a filling meal. Yeah, and that never happens from one item and it was like it's like $4 So it's like it's actually pretty cheap. What an interesting time for Taco Bell. It ain't no fucking I hop. I'll tell you that Get not an interesting time for I have 20 of these and it'd be cheaper Yeah, we're dead. I hop yeah, that was you get a hundred chicken nuggets, and it would be less than what we ate at I hop Yeah, outrageous Well, I can't wait to see what Taco Bell does in 2025. Whoo. They're gonna reinvent Cheeseburgers, they're gonna reinvent cheeseburg. They're fucked with their slogan. Um, I know well That'll do it for this episode.
