The 68th Academy Awards held in 1996 in Los Angeles produced two big winners, Mel Gibson and Kevin Spacey. Gibson took home surprise best director and picture Oscars for his Scottish Independence Epic Braveheart, while Spacey's performance is verbal-kint in the Christopher McQuarry penned crime thriller The Usual Suspects, one in a widely expected best supporting actor trophy that catapulted him to movie start him. Also in 1996 in Los Angeles, away from the glitz and grime of Hollywood in the LAX

adjacent neighborhood of Westchester, David Robertson, a Harvard-educated Wall Street investment banker, opened a juice bar targeted at his fellow health nut, Angelinos. The single store quickly grew into a chain and became a fixture of strip malls and food courts. A kin-defated trendsetters like Pinkberry, Robertson's blended fruit broker was once a hot spot frequented by celebrities, with paparazzi snapping photos of Hayden Christensen and Ashley Tisdale emerging

with plastic cups of liquid calories. Like fellow SoCal original on current sector kingpin Jamba, in recent years, the chain shone Parker to weigh its juice suffix to reflect its more well-rounded modern menu of bowls and toasts. Currently with 91 locations, this juice area survived the low carb crays and the entrance of fancy pants competitors like pressed and quench to continue to thrive among thirsty fitness freaks and sugar fiends alike. Meanwhile, fellow 1996 breakouts Gibson and Spacey, as well as usual Suspects Director Brian Singer,

have had less luck surviving into the present day. This week on Doe Boys, Robax. Welcome to Doe Boys, the podcast about chain restaurants. I don't want to be a hero. Welcome to Doe Boys, the podcast about chain restaurants. I'm Nick Weiger, along with my co-host, New England pastry arts quarterback Big Mac Jones, the Spoon Man Mike Mitchell. Kind of confusing, because New England pastry, it like it's pastry.

And it's a Big Mac, generally. Yeah Yeah kind of a classic hat on a hat situation long time listener first time dropper love the show go birds Phil C from Canada roasts we manage email com The mad Jones isn't even the quarterback right now right did he get bench mad? No, he's he's so sadly Yeah, I think the Mac experiment is maybe remember I made the prediction of the beauty of the pictures would be good Oh, no you he's, he's, he's sadly. Yeah, I still have to, I think the Mac experiments is maybe remember I made the prediction of the beauty of the pictures would be good. Oh, no, you do that every year. Yeah, you're always like the Patriots will be good and the Celtics are going to win it all. That's like every year.

I never, I never, I never, I could. I could. Yeah, the solace legitimately, I can definitely share. I mean, hats off that you're still rooting for the Patriots because now this is where you get to learn who the real fans are. Yeah, that's bad. I watch I still still I still watch every weekend. Watch them get their asses kicked.

We're so is great when it's like 10 a.m. Sunday morning, see them get started. I'm your start. It's off and you press. But you know what? We were good for a long time. And the Celtics look great. So what's the what's going on with the Patriots right now?

Like what's what's the situation with the season? Is it a quarterback issue? I mean, yeah, there's a lot of issues. I mean, his line is, they've had a ton of injuries and the line is, he doesn't get a lot of protection. But also I just don't think he's good. People are afraid to tell Belchick to hang it up too. I mean, that's a big, that's another big part of it,

which I don't even know if he should go, I guess whenever he wants to go, maybe is like what you, you know what I mean? I do feel that way with sports. When you have a guy who won a bunch of like. He deserves a bunch of shit to see. You can go, you can leave whenever you wanna leave. So, but it is, it seems like the Mac Jones experiment

should end, it's bad. I it seems like the Mac Jones experiment should end. It's bad. I mean, also our listeners don't, they're not gonna know any of this. We got a few, we got some sportos, but yeah, there's all, I think there's a lot of people. Or they're just gonna tell me I'm wrong. Right.

They're like, actually, he's actually good. Yeah. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha we want to do two England Patriots, like that, what two England Patriots or big Mac Jones, two or a quarter pounder back, maybe big Mac Jones. Why go wisely pivoting back to the bit away from stores? No, I love the sport stuff. Quarter pounder Mac? Order pounder back. Order pounder back. For quarterback.

Oh, quarterback. I'm just saying, like, if you want to cram in. You guys signed it by the Mac of it all. Yeah, by the Mac of it all. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just saying, like, I think your note is correct, that I think keeping it focused on big, on McDonald's specifics would make it a little bit easier.

Here's the final option. Yeah. Doesn't have to send in the email at all. Yeah, you could have Phil C. You could have opted not to send it in. And your roasts will manage the email at all. And your roasts will manage the email at all. And your roasts will manage the email at all.

Good job, yeah. Yeah, let me think, and then that's what you think.

We've been fucking idiot. I'm from New England. I mean, we should roast the, we can roast the roast. They, I mean, yeah, they're get off on it. I mean, that's what they want, too. And he's like fucking jacking off. Because he's the step-step. And we're like, we just opened up the floodgates

to like five more roads. Like, wait, they rose to the back. Oh god, I'm so hurt. I'm gonna throw some bullshit in. You guys like on his morning commute, here's that it's his roast pick. It's like fucking hard in his car. Fucking die. Yeah that it's his roast pick it's like fucking hard in his car

Shot his load all over the steering wheel and fucking plowed into a tree Oh man. I had an impression to open up the show. Yeah, but don't worry. Well two things. One sitting on this for a while. I sage my house today. I've been a little loopy. Yeah, I've been foggy. I've been using the CPAP machine and I've got a loopy.

And then just weird small stuff happened in my house. And I'm not afraid of anymore. I was afraid of it for a little while. I've been using the CPAP machine and I've got a loopy. And then just weird small stuff happened in my house. And I'm not afraid of anymore. I was afraid of it for a little while. I thought my house was haunted. But then the motion detector lights in the bathroom went off today and then the seat went up,

which only happens when someone goes in front of it. So it spooked me a little bit. So I saged from head to toe, saged the entire house. You have just like a high tech seat that automatically goes up. When you walk in front of it, it goes up. Okay. It was a gift from my sister got me a bidet for a month.

Does it just the lid, or is it the lid and the seat, like does it take your time? There's a button to put the other one outside. Oh, got it, got it. Okay. It's a washlet. It's a total washlet. Yeah, I got the washlet.

I probably have a less fancy model than you, it got to. Okay. Yeah. It's a washlet. It's a total washlet. Yeah, I got the washlet. Yeah. I probably have like a less fancy model than you. Yeah, probably. Most calm haunted. Yes. Oh. There was a huge bass carototo.

Yeah, right. You ever heard about this? I mean, there's your fucking problem. Yeah, that might be the issue. I mean, it could be the sun coming. It was 11.30 that happened that the light and the bathroom around the doors closed. In the morning? Or night.

In the morning. And then the seat went up. Yeah. So I was like, what the fuck? But it was the AC. There's a towel hanging. The AC can move the towel. So it looks like something's moving in there

and the lights go off. Look, I was scared. Do you live in an old building? No, it's brand new, actually. Okay, so yeah, probably not recent phenomenon, mounting the walls, absorbing into the building. So you're probably safe. But I mean, why not sage? I sage. I had to tow. It made me feel nice. So that's it. My mom's coming on Sunday. I think my house is not, do you need to come out here and spend some time with it? Is that true?

No, it's not true. I was there for the ride. Yeah, I was ready to have some follow ups of like, does your mom have any kind of, like, does she bring holy water all around? No, but Waker knows this. When I lost my mind a couple of weeks ago, I did order two bottles of holy water from Amazon.

Yes, that's a trick. Yeah. Yeah, fucking basil. We got to go to the holy water. I lost my mind a little bit, but I did come up with a little impression. Well, I can't just do it. I'm not even that good. I'm not album embarrassed.

I wish we had you come into the room later or something. Well, our guest is also very good at impressions, but I think we'll be, no, I'm just saying, I think we'll be a great judge of your impression. Hey, you see this? Brobex? Brobex, you see the rowbex? Jesus, back in the day when I was young,

you put an apple in the blend and that's it. Oh my God, I can't believe it, huh? Tony's a prayer room? God damn it, no, it's Bill Burr. Okay. You know, he sounds like this. Fuck Jesus Christ. I thought you were doing adult cartman.

I definitely, I, I Definitely I You definitely drifted into stand-up territory. Yeah, yeah, I should have known that But I thought you were going to like oh, like you happen to Gary Cooper kind of thing You know, you know, he's out like he sounds like this a little bit like this that doesn't sound like I'm I mean I don't know I guess I don't know his work well enough you know Yeah, he's I don't when you I guess I don't know, it's work well enough. You know, yeah, he's, I don't. When you tell me what it is, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't know. He sounds like that.

Yeah. Maybe the guessing game was just a bad idea. Maybe if he just lead with the impression you're doing. I got nervous, I didn't say it first. Yeah. Because you were excited about it. I'm a little heartbroken to be honest with you because before we recorded, he did give us the heads up that he was gonna debut this impression.

Yeah. Can I just can't give you a pitch on that? Yeah. It's just kind of like a, what's with AC being cranked these days? I'm Bill Burr. That's great. That's great.

That's great. I'm doing good, man. I got AC. You know what AC in here? It makes me feel like my last name is literal. I got a slurper the other day. I got myself a brain freeze. I'm Bill Burr. Come on on.

You like that one, man? This is a solid bit for Bill Burr. I mean, put that behind glass breaking case of murder. I was like, fuck, I'm dying. For if you're in Cold Stone cream, where you need something. I thought my billboard, I thought it was good. I was so excited about this.

I was saging and then practicing my billboard. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. I think you, I think just like lead with it and then just deliver it with confidence. And I think maybe also like have like something that Bill Burr would say. I think that would also help.

I was talking about Robex. Yeah. He is segueing into the food we were doing. That's true. That's a good point. That's what I was trying to do. That's what I was trying to do. The sage maybe could help also. Like maybe you need the sage to like fully get into the character.

Even though that's not a Bill Burr thing. It seems like that got you in the zone. I might bring the sage next time. Yeah. Might sage this fucking studio. It seems like that got you in the zone. I might bring the sage next time. Yeah. Might sage this fucking studio. Yeah, this fucking. A lot of bits have died in this room.

Bad bits in these walls. No, but you got a drop. Oh, is that why you looking at me? I didn't realize. Yeah, this is weird. Look at what the fuck is were looking at me? I didn't realize. Yeah, this is where you got my mouth. You're like, what the fuck is he looking at me for? Ah.

Ah. You know, you know, I like that just he is, Robex was like a bilber. Ah. Ah. I have a hit him with a drop, please. This is for you, Mitch. Yeah. Mitch, Mitch, Mitch. Yeah.

Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch. Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch. Okay. Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch. Mitch, Mitch, Mitch. Mitch, Mitch, Mitch. Mitch, Mitch, Mitch. Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, my friend, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch.

Thank you, wigs. We're listening more nasally when I hear my own voice than I realize. Maybe just the way I deliver Mitch, but but come leading with my nose a little bit. Well, that Mitch, the air out here, that what it is. I think I might have affected my bill, Burr impression too a little bit. The air quality is fucking up everybody's bill, Burr, these, you know, that was the big one, you know,

and he just says that over and over again. Yeah. Did you like him on the Mandalorian? That was fun stunt casting. I like Bill Burrow. Right. I think he's good. Funny. And he hasn't he's like a he pushes back on like the more right wing guys podcasts that he gets on. He's friends with all the right wing guys. Yeah. Yeah. Push back on them a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think, but I think he sees, uh, there you go. No, we're, we're, we're gonna,

we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna, Jimmy, this has been an ongoing through several episodes of podcast. Jimmy has gotten up on the couch once. Emma's dog, Jimmy, she's very tentative about it. And I don't think she trusts me as the issue. Go girl, go ahead. Good girl. Like she wants to, like she's eyeing the spot next to me on the couch, like she wants

to sit here, but she won't make the move to actually do it. She wants? Socially you two are kind of on the same level. If you ignore her for a second now, she might do it. She is pretending like you don't exist. Yeah, I know. I can't tell what she is a little bit nervous around. I don't know what the, I do, you love dogs. You never own dogs.

She also, well, we had a family dog as a kid, Darryl, the dog. But she is. Darryl the dog. Was there a human also named Darryl? That you had the difference. She did. is a human also named Darrell that you had to differentiate. Yeah, I know I have not had a dog in a long time. I do love dogs. And yeah, Jimmy, Jimmy again just seems a little bit standoff

as here. My dog was in the studio and just does not get sit still. She's like jumping over everything. She almost went like, did she put a paw? Yeah, she put a paw. She tested the waters a little bit. Good, good, good. It looks comfortable as hell.

You gotta get up there. Yeah. I mean, I would recommend that, Jamie, should do it. Well, up to you. You said you sounded like Lady Hamilton, by the way. And I love dogs. SNL, Molly Shannon, dog show. That's the character's name, Lady Hamilton.

Yeah, I looked it up. So this whole time you were looking up, Lady Hamilton. And my hat on my call, they're gonna edit all this. Lady Hamilton. I mean, I think it Lazy Hamilton. I mean, I think it's Lady Hamilton. S and L. Wait, you looked it up and you're still not sure.

God, Mitch, I hope it's Lady Hamilton. Dog show, Lady Hamilton. I think it's Lady Hamilton. Okay. No, no, it's Linda Hamilton. You know, the terminator's here. Right, right, right. Wait, who's coffee talk lady?

Is that Linda... Linda Richmond. Linda Richmond. Yes, that's a little bit more of the SNL, I feel like I would be watching on repeat. Sort of that era. Terminator one with Linda Hamilton. You know, did you credit the... I didn't, not yeah, yeah.

We credit the dropper, then I'm sure our guest. Okay. Here we go. The drop is the Mitch DeNube drop, right? Yeah.

I mean, you know, here's a famous waltz is the uh the underwater Stage of from super Mario Brothers in 3-4. Oh, okay. But I think the, yeah, I have to think of like, cause I all I can think of is like a fucking, some Shikovsky shit from... I got my favorite.

The Nutcracker. Who did it was great? Maybe that's just the answer. Christoph for me. Oh, that's pretty good, man. That is pretty good. He's back, he's back, everybody. And Bill Burz in the rear view window,

bitches. Back. You know, you're back, man. What are you doing? Our guest today, long overdue in the main feed, Ben Rogers here. Ben, thanks for making time for us. What a treat. Thanks for having me.

We, I was worried I offended you guys on the double. No, you were great. Five years ago, I was on the double. It's unbelievable how much time has passed. Because that was like we did, we went through the mission impossible and that was in advance of mission impossible fallout, I believe, so two mission impossible have come out.

Yeah, what did you do in the podcasting world. What did you do exactly that got you back? I was curious. I clearly something happened. Like, can we figure this out? Like, what was it? Like, was it an issue with you? Was it an issue with you?

Like, I'm I'm I had I'll just say I had no issue. I have no issue. Okay, interesting. Yeah. All right. You said a second. Yeah. There was a lot of bad buzz on the internet. Was there really?

Yeah, there was a lot of stuff. There is a lot of time, like there will be times when people are like, why didn't they have, why am I and they have this guy on? Yeah. You know, and they're like, is there a rivalry between this guy and that guy? This short answer. I was like, we don't know who that is. That's the thing.

The short answer. We do know you, which makes it more complicated. That was so that was like a legitimate one. Yeah. All the time, why we don't have people on our podcast. Yeah. It's like, well, we don't have anybody on our you guys are few of some of the only guests we've had on the podcast in the early days. And it's because our show is too long.

Right. Yeah. We I mean, it's it's a big a favor. One of your worst episodes, the one we're on, probably. Yeah, no, no, we didn't, we're terrible at being host. We never introduced you guys. My brother was like, who are these guys? It's like fuck. All right. Yeah, we fucked the only thing we had to do up. Yeah. Look, if you wanna, you gotta look that way.

I don't know what, I don't know what the deal is, but you gotta look over there towards, towards Jimmy and Wig. What are you looking at me for? Cause I'm not the reason he's not been on the show. I agree, I'm also not the reason. I'm not the reason I'm also not the reason. The overall. This is what Mitch does.

But he ran into Mitch and he told me I ran into Mitch. Yeah, I had a diner and he was like, I would love to have throwing over the bus. This is what Mitch does. Okay. But I ran into Mitch and he told me I ran into Mitch at a diner. Yeah. He was like, I would love to have you on the show. Well, we, we, I didn't we make it happen. He's like, I keep asking like, why go around? No. I, this is, this did not happen. This absolutely had it. And this fully happened. No, I believe that this happened. What I'm saying is that this did not happen.

You're full for believing this happened because I did it, you idiot. You dug yourself your own grave. What are you talking about? I dug myself my own grave. I'm good because that didn't happen. He was testing you, but you stayed strong. What is going on? What is happening?

Here's the issue. Here's the thing. We are dumb. That's the main issue. When someone hasn't been on the show, who should be on the issue. Here's the thing. We are dumb. That's the main issue. When it's someone who hasn't been on the show, who should be on the show, it's because we are dumb and we're bad at booking guests. The other thing that happens, and-

Actually, we did run a show during a little diner, and I did say we got to get you on the show. Yeah, that is the truth, and I didn't blame you. Yeah, yeah. But also, the other thing is that, and this happens just with booking a show. Yeah, Fred 62. Is Fred 62 still hanging in there?

Or did it, was it a pandemic? It's still hanging in there. It's still hanging around and it's one of the few late night options. You know, I'm remembering now, because we did reference Fred 62 on a semi recent episode because I had to use the bathroom really badly. Oh yeah.

And I ended up having to go into Fred 62 like as a non-customer. And then that was like, I think it was a whole ordeal where that bathroom I could not get into. And so I had to go across the street to house a pie. Did you ever play Fred 62 64 back in the day? I'm an N64? I did, yeah, it's good.

It was good, yeah. You ever played five nights at Fred 62? Hahaha. You're gonna have a good, Give her a play five night set Fred 60. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha machine just 90 miles per hour. I've sold jet lag walking into Fred 62 because it was open late and Mitch is there. And then also Amy Nicholson was there at another table. I mean, it was a podcast convention there. The three of us. Another double guest. We never end up getting back on the main show.

Amy, you're not invited because you hate good fellas. She is. Good fellas. Yeah, she doesn't like good fellas. There's there is a real beef. I mean, I tell her every time I see her. I'm like, I can't believe you don't like good fellas. I can't believe you don't like good fellas. But I do show with Amy for the Sundance network. It was a unhaired pilot.

It was Amy, myself, and Franklin Leonard runs the blacklist. And it was like a thing. And I was like, I-person movie review show. And we spent the whole day filming it at this bar and I was like, I had no fucking money, so I'm like, I'll excited to have a job. And they're waiting to see if it'll go. And we get a call finally from the guy who created the show. He's like, hey, let's all figure out a time to jump on the phone together.

And we're like, fuck yeah, he's getting us all on the phone together. He's gonna celebrate that they're doing this show. That's great. And he calls us and he's like, I just didn't have the heart to call you all individually, but they're not. And he's like all fubs, that's all my-

Oh, man. And then we put the whole call, making they're not. And he's like all fubs. Oh my God. Oh man. And then we spent the whole call making him feel better. A good technique I guess. Yeah. It worked. That's like when Wiger and I had a dinner to celebrate the Doe Boy show. We're like, come meet us out. We we sold the Doe Boy show. The Netflix TV show. The Netflix TV show. Yeah, they laid their pilot presentation. We're like, we're good. Let's do 10 episodes or whatever. First place we pitched it.

Wig or dropped a coffee on the Netflix guys feet. Yeah. And then they were fucking busted and not. You got like, open Netflix. It's no drug, no. So that didn't work out. So they were like, don't pitch in anywhere else, you got it. Yeah, yeah. We were like, all right, we did it.

And then we had a group of friends come out at, what bar was that at? We went to some bar. And I don't remember what it was. It was like a, it was some cool bar. Jimmy's not licking my hand. This is now gone, I think. Yeah.

And it was like, we did it. We did it guys. And then like, you know, just never, never. You should be. It was, it wasn't, it wasn't a horrible business. We don't know.

I know, I'm terrible. Terrible. It sucks. It was, it was the, it was the name of it. It was like the name is like a phrase. It's one of those places. Oh, right, yeah. Like, thank you so much, but it's not that.

It was something like that. Yeah. Fuck was it. Anyway, it's not,. It was something like that. Yeah, fuck was it. Anyway, it's not boring. Ben, thanks for being here. The... I think it was a... Yeah.

If it's Brock, watch it down. That's what it was. Never rub another man through her. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I'm like a Joker theme player. What a time, huh? What a time. What a time. Ben, thank you so much for being here. So, we've talked about action boys, the podcast, on our podcast. I'm a huge fan of the show, a Pasquist, Tammy Sager, and Kate Doyle.

I know fellow janitors. I'm curious, like, as someone who lives in this world, are there any action movies of note this year? The one I could think of that came to mind was playing which I enjoyed. I love playing. Yeah, I was a really good time. I went with a bunch of people to see playing and the surprising enjoyment was before any of the chaos happens.

The scene Gerard Butler just trying to be a normal pilot. The checklist shit, I love. Give me all that that you got. Him going down a fucking manifest and like listing every passenger who's supposed to be on the plane. He makes you do so himself to all the other like flight attendants and stuff.

It's like, hey, how are you? I'm whatever the fuck is. He's got like a really funny name. Yeah. Casey, any chance you look at what his name is? I did not see playing. Unfortunately. Oh God. It's gonna be it's gonna be a true let down because it's funny because it's so normal. Yeah. There's I haven't seen playing either. I want to I want to see playing and I will see playing. Yeah. I saw the killer. Have you seen the killer? I'm seeing a yeah that mid just came out right yeah There's there's a there's an action segment in that movie that is so great

Why so you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, it's so good. It's the best it might be the best action scene I've seen this year. It's a cool sequence that jarr Butler's character in playing Brody Torrance Hey, how are you, Captain Torrance? Hi, I'm Denise. I'm a Denise. We're gonna be great flying with you today. Yeah, I'm excited to do it. All the scenes go on like way too well.

Yeah, really like what is going on? Like we're just seeing their first day at work. Well, because you watch the trailer and you're like, why is this movie called Plane if they crash and it's mostly on an island? And then you watch the movie's like, oh no, it's like mostly playing. They're like on the plane for so much. They crash onto bad guy island.

Yeah, yeah. Because everybody's like afraid to upset like any, like that's right. Any country. Yes. So it's just like a random island in Southeast Asia somewhere. And apparently, Jarr Butler fought for the name playing

because he's got it all figured out. I think it was a big part of whatever success that movie had. Wasn't Bug Man hanging out with Gerard Butler? He did. I'll tell it. I'll check if we can keep it in the podcast. It's not my story, but Bug Man and our friend Charles

had made a short with Gerard Butler, and he was like, come hang out with me, and they go to hang out with him and Gerard, and he calls himself Jerry, but he's like, he says, welcome to the badness. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Yeah. I mean, there's was the bar you asked for drinking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, I love that. Badness.

Yeah, yeah. Plain is a lot of fun. I mean, the, the, the, the, obviously we talked about mission impossible last time you were on the double. How did you react to dead reckoning? I think Mitch and I are on the same page with this one. Yeah, it was kind of a disappointment. By mission impossible, Stanford, right?

I think the way they handled the AI character was scared by it and remember. He did, but it did scared by it and didn't do an executive order. Did you know this? He watched Dead Reckoning at Camp David. And was just like, we gotta do something about AI. I gotta do something.

Commander watched it start abiting everybody. Three-two, three-two commanders never been saved. That's what got by detention, fucking. All of his German shepherds never been the same. That's the, what was the name of the entity? Oh, it's just like the entity. Oh, it's just all the entity. Yeah. Biden's also, he's been at my house. He's been freaked out about the noise

we've been hearing too. We're both under a blank. He's like, come on man, what's that? Let's crack it upstairs. I'm not gonna try any impressions now ever again. I got, I got a straight. Hey man, hey man. He's haunted man He was he got he got he got spooked by

Well, they good that it was a huge success. Yeah, I felt like it will now they're not gonna name it part the part two It's they're doing a libdi repeat where it part two is they can have a different name. I think that's the right move Yeah, I think dead's the right move. I think dead reckoning part one, the two subtitles was confusing. That's a cool sequence. Compared to the sub-rankled number. The movies of the year still in like the top ten or whatever. Sure.

I mean, I don't like the split of movies and just treating movies as they're back to back episodes of TV. Right. And I think that's annoying. It's a weird marvel-y move kind of that they'd like. I hope it's dying out. Yeah. I saw, I mean, I saw Killers of Flower Moon's long movie,

and I loved it. What they do. Beginning, middle, and end. Yeah, I didn't mind sitting through the whole thing. Same, yeah. I didn't even piss once. I didn't either. I was convinced I was gonna piss.

I was like, going in, I was like, I'm 100% gonna take a pee break. I'll just see it again. We'll't either. I was convinced I was gonna piss. I was like going in and I was like, I'm 100% gonna take a pee break. I'll just see it again. It'll be fine. And I just like riveted. I didn't piss. I didn't piss. And then we went out for like a drink afterwards.

And I still didn't piss. Like I didn't piss. You gotta see a doctor. I thought I was gonna go. I spotted this movie. I was like, I'm gonna piss. That was a weak hook up. I'm gonna piss. I'm a piss. I was like, I'm gonna piss, that was a week ago. I'm gonna piss.

I'm gonna piss, it's fucking, it saves a ton of time. If you don't, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna,

if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna,

if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, if 10 times more deadly in the field without having to piss. I was like a good five hours of not pissing. I'm going to repeat this story to much to the chagrin of action boys who I'm sure have probably already heard action boys listeners who've heard it before, but Gabor and I want to see that movie and it was the noisiest movie experience. Everybody was getting up and everybody, we had a sparsely attended theater and the psycho hit rate was 85%. I was, everybody,

gamers described the guy sitting next to me as having a wake apnea. I was sat down and he was like, oh, oh, oh, and I turned to gamers and he was like, oh. Oh. And I turned to Gabor and I was like, I'm moving. So I moved and Gabor's just like, he tried to like, stoner like,

I would have moved, I would have gone. But then I moved and the lady behind me had a slushy that she kept on like shaking. Like it was like a shaker. And I, she did this like four times. And the fourth time I was like, man, can you stop rattling your slushy? And she was like, oh my God, I'm sorry.

And then a guy, a guy laughed an hour ago. You know what, she's good. She's a good one. She's good. She'll, I mean, but the fact that she needed somebody to tell her to like stop right? Yeah. Like, like, just moving the ice around. This is a full blown using it, like, like, you're scaring a dog or something. Right. That was once upon a time in Hollywood,

there was a woman next to me with her friend, next to her and something would happen and she would like, make a comment to her friend and happen like for an hour and a half and I finally was like, I was like, hey, can you stop talking during the movie please? And she was so mad at me. Like, she gave me a look like you fucked up so bad. Wow. And I was like, you are talking. Yeah, that's the same.

I'm not saying. During the fucking movie, you know? My one friend, you know? Yeah. My one friend. My one friend? Yeah. Yeah. Back to the day, you know, you know, you know, my one friend, my one friend. Yeah, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you'll burst back. And that the theater's so cold, but he says just cranked out.

No, it's about the last name is literal, you know, my one friend went to the movies and he's a pretty hardcore about yelling at people making noise. Yeah, sure. I love that. And he, um, he shooshed some guy and the guy got stood up and was so clearly out of his mind. My friend just left the movie.

He's like, I left, he's like, I left my Jack there. I'm fully just new into like, wait, wait, the white flag and be like, you know, it's not worth it. Yeah. Right. And just see this movie another time. It is crazy. The high amount of psychos that go and see movies, especially opening night.

But I maybe that's an L.A. thing is that there's I think just there's more people there. What I'm not when I'm in Massachusetts. It's like it's all out the window. No one even like at least here. Sometimes people are like Oh, I'm trying to watch a movie Sure and other places it will be like oh sometimes people don't even care about going no There are people who we hear who are like film fans who are going like I want the theatrical experience and they have like some

Reference for it. We're never done on the podcast. We talked about we're gonna do Alamo draft house at some point that that's on that's on the docket Oh shit, I do like it just be sure what I suggested that well you fucked you fucked up. I fucked up I Figure it out First suggestion you threw at me. I was so fucking dumb. I was like a dog that caught a squirrel I mean that is the one thing about Alamo though. It's like, it's all film fans that don't mind somebody being like, Hey, excuse me.

That was no. Run 100%. So fucking random. And then you're sitting next to that guy getting a fucking hamburger or whatever you're supposed to act like, oh cool, let's enjoy this. I saw the killer there the other night. No, I had the same, I saw the killer at the draft house because it's a limited theatrical lease.

We're sitting in the front row and it's exactly that experience was a guy that's like squatting in front of us with like a tray and it's so distracting. Yeah. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk.

I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk.

I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. I mean, they should, I think every theater should put in that thing, like the warning

that they have up top of like, you'll get kicked out if you talk, don't talk, you know? But I think they're hoping that just like, literally anybody will come to the theater that they don't wanna have any sort of, you know, gatekeeping. Yeah. There is like, the business is so horrible

that like at this point, it's like, oh wow, it's nice that people came, you know, they're out of their mind I'm realizing because as you were both telling those stories that like that there was an incident like that it wasn't as extreme during plane we were watching plane and then like several rows behind us there was a guy who got in a fight with another guy's kids because the other guys kids were using their phones he's like you're fucking it's like a flash light in the theater like you're blinding everybody in the other guys' kids were using their phones. It's like you're fucking, it's like a fucking flashlight in the theater. Like you're blinding everybody

and the other guys' days are getting mad at it. And that guy was right, but it was just like, oh, it was like Jesus Christ. This is the thing about a movie like Flight. That's part of the experience. Yeah, sure. Like I go to Flight expecting that there will be some sort of incident that takes place in the rightful theater.

Right. But if I go to see a Scorsese movie that's three and a half hours long, I'm assuming everybody's gonna be quiet. There was a guy eating popcorn at the end of the movie. You're not hard, that is. Like, just three and a half hours of eating popcorn. So you might be worse than me as far as you want dead silence in the video.

Well, that movie has a lot of silence in it It's like it really stands out when you're like fuck this guy still eating popcorn Well, we're dealing with the silent moments is that we would have bleed from the theater or the adjacent theater that was Point of Taylor Swift I didn't experience that. I was at Grommins at the at the Grommins Chinese Theater So I think and Scorsese came in after I was done, which was a bummer to have him like the next show.

He was, oh man. But I saw silence. He needs to start coming out and like telling people to shut up. I mean, I would, I, I, I just wanted to see him talk. I've never seen him speak before. But I was at silence. I've told the story before, which is a silent movie.

And I was on a date and my stomach was grumbling and I ran and I ate a hot dog really quick. I said I was going to the bathroom, which is a silent movie and I was on a date and my stomach was grumbling and I ran and ate a hot dog really quick. I said I was going to the bathroom when I ate a hot dog. Really quick. You know this? Yeah, I do know this. I still don't understand why you decided to do this. When you can just brought a hot dog back,

I asked him like, do you like quietly do you want anything? The other big, were you embarrassed about like being hungry or was it nerves on the date? Yeah, I was like, I mean, like I probably smelled like a hot dog and we broke this down that I probably smelled. You 100% said like, like, movie hot dogs have an odor. Yeah.

So I mean, I probably smelled like a hot dog after the fact, but I was just like, my stomach was gonna be like, man, I think they spilled a lot of hot dogs in my hallway or something. Like I probably smelled like hot dogs. Like, you should see it out there. You don't want to go.

You stay seated, but like, it's really bad. It's all during like 30 minutes of silence during the movie. It was just so silent. My stomach was rumbling and it was bad. And then the other good moment I had at the years when I saw Strider Out Compton and a guy through another guy over a row of chairs. And Joe Saunders stood up and said,

hey, I was like, what the fuck are you gonna do? Joe? All right, but this ain't the breadcast man. Yeah. I kind of loved it because he was like, hey, it's not right, you know, but it was like. I used to work in a movie theater. I mean, too, I was a movie theater guy.

Back in Buffalo and like probably my second day there. This was a regal theater that had a big lobby where they had like steel outdoor furniture in the lobby for people to sit around. It's two guys got into a fight in the lobby and one guy tossed one of these metal chairs at another guy. And it got real fucking crazy, real fast. And then the dude just ran into a theater. And so then the cops come and then and like all the cops, they got like bats and shit.

And they're way too late. Like the guy could easily left. And then I got picked to go with the cops and he's like, hey, we need somebody to point this guy out. And I was like, nobody else is there. And I'm like, I don't feel like I should go in there. Yeah. And then like, and I have like a flashlight and I'm fucking like 15 years old. That was, I was, I worked there the summer

after my senior year, general cinema was, okay. But I never, that's insane. And also that's insane that you were pointed to, that's crazy. Yeah, did you find the guy? Was there any closer? He was crouched down, like hiding,

like with a bunch of people, and they found him, like took him out and hauled him out. Jesus. I can't remember the movie that he went to, and I wish I could, because it was like a family movie. I remember that. Can you generally remember because we've talked about Mitch's movie theater experience. American Pie 2 I think was like the big movie that was screening at the time you were working

there. Can you remember generally some of the movies that were playing on repeat then? One thing I do remember was the they had movie scores and soundtracks playing in a lobby. Okay, but they only had maybe five songs. Got it. So, it's only up in the open in saying, like, my heart will go on. We played on a country rotation. Yeah, it was a freshman that went on Titanic. Because it was a Titanic time, I guess.

Yeah, it was around then. I feel like I want to say maybe small time cro Crooks, was that what I was working on? Okay. All right. It actually makes me like, was I'm like, movie suck nowadays. I was like, what was playing when I was working on Who There Was American Fire 2 is like maybe the highlights. The Planet of the Apes, the Remake, the Mark Wahlberg Planet of the Apes, Tim Burton,

I believe, with the Lincoln ending. Yeah, with the Lincoln ending. A-A-B-Lincoln. And the Charlton Heston ape. Yes, right. That like completely takes you out of it. It's like, oh god, I wish I was watching that one. I don't understand when movies do that.

They just remind you of other movies that like, you gotta be aiming, what was Babylon, where they show all the other movies you'd rather be watching. And then they go on and add, where it's like, yeah, fucking, those are good movies. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Also, what was the Chris Rock cartoon one? Where he was a germ? Osmosis Jones. Osmosis Jones. Yeah. Osmosis Jones. Yeah. God damn. Yeah, and then ever, Osmosis Jones. Osmosis Jones. Yes, yes. Yes, yes. God damn.

Yeah, and then Osmosis Jones, there's a different world where reference in Osmos, or we went on the Osmosis Jones ride. There, I think there was in Osmosis Jones TV series I bet. Was there real? I didn't want to say that they gave that, they tried to milk everything

and they could add Osmosis Jones. Right. I will say the most common refrain we have on our podcast, which is mostly movies from the 80s and 90s. Usually movies that I don't have that much great, too many fond memories of. I don't be like, oh, this is incredible. We didn't know how good we had it back.

Yeah, you watch Kurt Russell in executive decision and he's like, oh, this movie is fucking pristine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that happens time and time again. I just am picturing a world where you were born a decade earlier, your show ran out of Smosis Jones, the show, you're living a mansion, a slap never happened.

You're living a mansion, a slap never happened. The slap never ever happened. God, yeah, we were born in the wrong century. We were born in the, at least in the wrong decade. It should have been at least a decade before or after we wouldn't have moved out here maybe. I do, like I frequently frequent you guys lived in LA far earlier than I did. Yeah, I'm from I'm I live in LA County my whole life. So I'm from SoCal.

Yeah, I'm always like I probably should move to your far earlier. Oh, that's really shitty. I'm still yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I was by the time I moved out here, I lost all plasticity. So I was like, I'm not making new friends. Right, sure. That's a big thing when New York guys come out here.

It's actually why I didn't wanna have you on the show for fun. Me, a sh**, a sh**. I did a fool for you. It came out, man, New York guys. The New York guys come out here. They're like hey It's how it was up with this pizza Alright comes out man the New York guys come out, you know, they're like you know, they you know

They don't care about the They don't care about that. They don't care about that. Why guys as much? They don't want to hang with the. There's there's there's I've and I don't I don't think it's you and I don't think it honestly. It's it's most New York people, but they're a few where I feel like comes in with a little bit of a lead is them or a little bit of like I'm king shit of this place. They come in here and take them in.

They come in and they're more more Hollywood than anyone in that. Exactly. Yeah, it's my time. I time to conquer the industry because I wish I had that level. Exactly. Yeah, it's my time to conquer the industry, because I wish I had that level of confidence. Yeah, exactly. That probably would be doing better for myself. I was thinking of a specific people in our heads, right?

Yeah, probably. Yes, I am. I would say I am thinking of someone. And whoever we're thinking of, they're right about Gaza. Let's just say that. That's not who I was thinking of. Yeah, I was thinking of somebody else. That's not what I was thinking of. That was.

I mean, the fun thing about, there were people from New York, there, you know, I'm not gonna shoot my phone. Let's talk a little bit about movie. Oh my gosh, it's hours. That's when you push, you push, why is your push? I already did it. What is there to push? People from New York, what are you gonna say?

No, no, I mean, we've already covered it. Yeah. And to point you? People from New York, what are you gonna say? If you've never... No, no, I mean, we've already covered it. Yeah. We've already maxed it out. Let's talk a little bit about, because we got to talk about Robex juice, but I do want to talk about, I do want to hear,

because you are from Buffalo. That's great. And, you know, like a, and obviously a very important significant... Anker Bar or a sorry. Yeah, no, no, go for it. Anchor Bar. You want to talk wings?

Yeah, we got to talk with the other one. It's Anchor Bar, what's the other one? Anchor Bar is actually kind of like a tourist trap. Okay. So I was just like, Pat's and Geno's in Philly for Tuesday. Yeah, I got it. I never really went there

until like someone from out of town came and wanted to go. So we finally went. We always got wings from just pizza. That was my wing spot, which hilariously, I like their wings at just pizza. How was the pizza? Pizza is pretty good. So what is just pizza do that like,

is, you know, like they really nail the wing? I think it's the, how much they cook the wings? Like it's the level of crispiness with the sauce mix. And they provide you with salt. And most buffalo wings aren't breaded. Right. And there they call them chicken wings, of course. Sure.

They're just a higher quality wing, I feel like. I feel like there's a big, it goes a long way to just fry them a lot. Like, and I mean that, I like he rustic and I think they have good wings. I'm also like, they're the only place to me that also like, it's just like, like, like, frying their wing enough. Yeah, they get, they have the right, uh, temperature, they have the right texture on them.

Yeah, yeah. But just pizza was always my spot for a while. It was Lenovo, Pizzeria, like they're in wings too. These are both spots in the actual city of Buffalo. A lot of people in the suburbs go to a place called Duff's, but it was too far away from me, so I never went. Like Duff beer? Wow.

Is that Duff's? Yeah, wow. I think it's called Duff's. Fucking people are gonna come at me because I don't know. Yeah, no, they probably will. They definitely will. Yeah, they did dance bad like that. Let me ask you this because I'm a bit of are gonna like come at me because I don't know. Yeah, no, they probably will. They definitely will. Yeah, they do dance bad like that. Yeah.

Let me ask you this because I'm a bit of a heat seeker. I like a spicy wing, but I'm curious what heat intensity you go with. And also what's the right heat intensity for a proper buffalo wing? You can get them pretty hot. I usually go, I'm not crazy about the heat intensity. Sure.

So like I'll usually go mild when I get my... Okay. That's like the flavor of sauce more than anything now. I used to do like medium and sometimes you've been hot back in the day but I go mild now. I've kinda down great, you know what? Like as much as I like spicy foods, I've kinda downgrade to my default being a medium.

A lot of times, I will, I mean, I do it. Me, I'm alright. I do hot pretty often but I mean, I I still, I used to be like always hot or like hotter, and I just as I've gotten older, it's less the tongue and more just like my gastrointestinal tract, you know, just like having that spicy food. We talked about this on the podcast. I'll listen to you guys. You're loose first pizza episode.

Yes. Yeah. And I have found, because I like their spicy pizza, but there's no, there's no consistency. No, it's a real mix, but like you can get the same, like the same level every time,

but it's totally different. Yeah. It's funny to me a world where like Tabasco sauce, like I remember as a kid eating like something with, Tabasco sauce on them being like, yeah, you should think that was spicy. Yeah, I can't do this. It's too much.

And now it's like that is the, it's nothing. And well, as you get older, your taste buds, like I guess, right? You're like, where then? Because don't older, don't people who smoke a lot really like spicy foods? That would track. Because they can't taste anything. You can still get the kick,

and I think that's why, as you get older, at the elderly have like sweets and stuff. Right, right. You can still get that like sweet sensation or that like spicy sensation, even though it like rips your fucking stomach apart. Yeah, put me in the nursing room,

because I like sweets too. I like sweet drinks more like sweet candies. You know Put me in the nursing room because I like sweets too. I like sweet drinks more than I like sweet candies. You know, that's more my- Like a hot cocoa. I like a hot cocoa. I do. Hot cocoa and horchata is a great drink that I'll do in the winter time, likes.

How about a juice? Huh? Oh, we'll try and break. Oh, oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. He's trying to get his break way back more to you. Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

and Jill's grandmother. So how does it work? You give them a digital picture frame and then before long they plug it in and they're seeing photos that you took. Yeah, you can't have access to their picture frame. I can upload any new photo that I take of my daughter. I can just pop it on my mom and dad's frame.

And then you can send videos too. That's cute. And can you upload like a little silly cheeky message? Like, help, I'm trapped in the photo frame. I guess you could do that. That's fine. I don't think anyone would like it. Because it looks like kind of like a weird cry for help.

They'd rather just see pictures of love. Yeah, of the baby. They don't even want to see me. That's fair actually. Yeah. Okay, so if that's not personal enough, you can even upload a video message to play as soon as they plug it in.

Welcome back to doboys are here with Ben Rogers discussing rowbacks which was founded in 1996 in the Westchester neighborhood of Los Angeles near LAX. It was very trendy for a time, Mitch, which is a

weird thing to think back on. It was it really it was. Yeah, it did is a weird thing to think back on. Was it really? It was. It did feel a little like where we traveled back in time slightly. It definitely it was like it was like going to a blockbuster and like the 2000s getting robux. For sure. 100%. I mean, I've been making market great again.

That's the level I want. Just early 2000s level is fine with me. There is something. That's fun. There is something that is very comforting about that sort of like strip mall or mall food court sort of staple, like revisiting it.

And it's like this place has evolved its menu a little bit and that's part of how it's been able to stay around about 90 locations currently. But it is in some ways just kind of frozen in time. I mean, I bend a rowback's a bunch. I probably bend, I would say dozens of times. I bend a rowbex a lot. It started out here and it just plays I went to regularly.

Early 2000s. The world was great at that point. Remember? Yeah, 100%. That's the other guy. 2001, we were living in the future. I mean, who predicted it? It's been a time.

So, I mean, like, and also, another place we've covered on this podcast, Mitch Jamba. I mean, this place is kind of like, in the same way that, that, you know, this, this place is kind of like, as coffee bean is to Starbucks, I feel like Robex is to Jamba. Jamba is a little bit bigger, a little bit more, you know, omnipresent, a little bit more, a, is this a more fancy one? I mean, I mean, maybe a little bit, but more just that it's like the same sort of concept started the same sort of time and just has a little bit less market share. But, you know, you could get a decent juice there.

Yeah, Robux is like an actor that kind of looks like John but juice. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. you kind of have John but juice. You have a, so here's my question for you because I think of you as something of like a fitness guy or a guy who tries to be conscious of like health and nutrition. Like is juice a thing you ever go to

or are you more on the side of like juices like just you know liquid calories? Yeah more like more like if I'm gonna have something that's that sweet, rather have like chocolate or like an actual dessert. Yeah, so I always feel like juice is pretending to be healthy a little bit. This is definitely from that era of like you think

about when it came about it. This was like the low fat trend of diet where it's like, oh yeah, big sugary drink that has, you know, it's made with nonfat milk. This will keep you from getting sick. Exactly, yeah. What do you think? What are your thoughts on juice?

Oh, Jason Simpson. Gilti in his pants. Gilti in his pants running back. A great bubble bill. They don't celebrate them as much anymore. Yeah, I don't know what's going on with them. I'm like, but yeah, they retired 32 and he's just kind of never around. You're a Bill's fan.

I am. Yeah, man. Talk about being in the, well, it's been a weird season for you guys so far. It's the tough season. I mean, they're pretty, they're pretty hurt. They're like, they're so, I'm not expecting much, but it was the fact that they're a halfway decent.

It is. It feels like, and they feel like they'll be decent as long as, you know. I remember going to a party in high school, where it was like, I think I was a party in high school. I think I was a senior in high school and it was a party at a kid who had graduated the year before. So he was like a living in an apartment. So it's like, oh fuck yeah, look, this is like, where's somebody's house and everybody's drinking, seems,

like this rules, no, not even have to worry about powerful supervision. And he's like, yeah, O.J. Simpson used to live here. And I'm like, really? And then you looked around and it was like, yeah, I bet you he did. This place has not changed since the 70s. Like it was untouched. And it was this, it looked like the top of the line,

like one floor apartment for some like kind of shitty, like whatever they were making in the NFL. Right, right. Probably wasn't that great. That's wild. That's wild. Do you find anything in there? Do we find a glove?

Yeah, the glove? You have the glove, like some of his frog man stuff. Man, he's so funny in the naked gun movies. That's like what, for me, one of the toughest things, the toughest things in terms of just someone who's whatever, for lack of a better term, been canceled in terms of returning to, oh, Jay got canceled, let's be honest.

But in terms of returning to a piece of media, that's because he's very good in those movies in those movies. He gave this spiel to the brown family Brown Goldman's dad Like it's really hard. It's so hard. I was so good in the movie so funny naked guns He's like believe it. I'm just getting my mustache reds get out of my body My son was a footnote in his own murder. Yeah, okay, but he's so funny and to Nicky gun to that. You woke America can't see no J.

It's like, what is enough enough? I, uh, I visited Buffalo. I went to a bills game and it was actually how that when you guys had no, it wasn't even they were, it was when you guys when we, we had traded blood so. Okay. Yeah, early 2000s, you're holding there. Yeah. My godfather was like, liked blood so

and he bought season tickets for the bills for maybe a couple of years. And I, and I remember reading that a ticket to a bills game was cheaper than parking to a Pat's game for a while. That's why. That's crazy. Yeah, it was, I mean, it was great.

And we were in like a nice section and we got Buffalo wings and. Yeah, I have a lot of family from Boston. They used to always drive up to, and we'd go to Bill's games and they were all, because the bills were so bad. And I think Tom Brady has like the record in victories against the bills like victories against a single opponent. Like he's up there, like maybe I won't get back into sports. Yeah, yeah.

Wigor will have to pivot away back into some, you know, I want to do that. But yeah, it's, uh, uh, OJ lived there for a long time and then he killed some people. Uh, uh, I, I, uh, everyone at the Buffalo game was really nice. I was bringing Buffalo wings along and they were like, mm, those look good. Like it was like a nice old lady. It like it wasn't the only. No, like they show the, you know, the, the, the bills parking lot is like going through tables.

Right. People in Buffalo are crazy. Yeah. Um, but for the most part, it's the good kind of crazy. Yeah. Um, the, the first game I's the good kind of crazy. Yeah. The the first game I ever went to I was with my brother and we were actually my dad got a beer And he bought us both hot chocolate were little kids and some guy I just lean over is like man that looks good You know fucking like eyes rolling around in his hand

and like completely out of his mind. And then I'm just like, all right, and then I just put it down. Sports games are always a nice intro to like, oh, there's like crazy people that are in the world. That's kind of for me too, when I go to Red Sox games. And also it was like the first time I, like when I was younger that I realized that like,

oh, they're people who go to these events purely because it's excuse to get blackout drunk. Sure. Which people do at fucking Do-Boy shows, which amazes me. It's like, like, oh, I just want an excuse to go out and just get blitzed out of my mind, but it has to be some sort of gathering.

Well, you were at our show in Chicago, right? That's right, yes, yes, yes. We had the guy dressed as Dr. Richard Kimball. Yeah. So we made a big deal out of how we wanted people to dress up as various Dr. Richard Kimball's because the fugitive is set in Chicago. And a lot of people did.

There were a lot of St. Patrick's Day parade Richard Kimball's. That's great. And then one guy put in so much effort, he had like the lab coat, like, like all the details, and he just got too fucking hammered. And like we laughed and we saw him like stumbling around outside. Yeah. He was trying to talk to us after the show and he couldn't talk.

And he was just absolutely shit faced. The thing I remember, you know, you know, you know, happened to, you know, who would happen to add one of our shows, Wu Tang. He didn't make it into the show. Wu Tang, your friend. Did not, yeah, he was so blitzed that he was either escorted out or just like left before the show started. The Quincy guys get, yeah, get more.

And flew out, flew out to Austin. And the show was blackout drunk and then missed it. The thing I remember about that guy from the action boy show, because I was there just to watch it. And I was, I was sitting in the audience and that guy was sitting near me and There's and like he was I didn't realize how drunk he was and then he like turns to me like he realizes that I guess he recognized me It turns to me in the audience and he just goes like Just like points to me with mouth a gate

I'm like an invasion of the body said exactly and then he's like an invasion of the body statue. Exactly. And then he's, oh, yeah. And then he's just talking to me full volume during the show to the point where I was like, hey man, I just gotta get a move,

I had to like move sections because he was like bothering people. And then yeah, afterwards he, he saw the three of you guys who was just losing his mind. Yeah. The reaction was, yeah man, you bought a ticket to the show.

You bought a ticket to see us. Oh my God, I can't believe this. It's like, okay. And I'm relate to that because that is like, I mean, that is what everybody in my hometown does for the most part. That's like every weekend. It took me a long time to break out of that of like, well, it's Friday, I better get blind drum.

I think that someone grabbing an adult man grabbing a hot chocolate drink out of a child, out of a child's end drinking it. Seems like something that could only happen in like the 80s. Or it would be before I, I like it. Like they still the troughs at the game. Oh yeah.

Yeah. That was like an eye opening. That felt like going to a scared straight program Stand here with these adults. It's like my dad's like yeah, yeah, this is where you piss It's exactly like where you watch A young wager to standing in there No difference. A young wager to standing in there. The fuck is this guy doing? My buddy Brandon from high school who lists this show is brother, his brother Tavis as

well also by my buddy. They were, he told me, like because we were talking about journal troughs on an episode and he told me about that he had, there was a, there was a restroom he went to after seeing a Nick Cave show. And in the bar, there was a urinal trough with a full length mirror in front of it. He sat at the same, he sat. Urinal troughs aren't for me either. I don't, I have no interest in accidentally seeing a 14-year-old's dick that's bigger than mine. I just can't do that.

No, I don't need that. No, I don't need an individual, give me an individual stall. My big thing is like even the... The camera better have a small dick. You're not a dad. What the fuck is this shit? Come on! It's not natural, that's weird. You're not the fuck is this shit? What are you eating this thing? It's not natural, that's weird.

It's weird stuff. Meet me, stare at your son's huge dick. What are you doing? Get him out of here. I don't look for a problem. Hey, you got good jeans. Hey, where'd it go? How, how, how dead do you think the hot chocolate thief is at this point? Oh, he didn't make it into the fucking, into the like, why pass wide to K?

I had to do the fucking bad. And he was like maybe 20 years old, during the like, that dude is long gone. That dude's fucking at the bottom of Lake Eerie. Let's talk about RobEx a little bit. So I live near it. I did a long walking distance from a RobEx. And so I decided to go this morning because I figured that's like part of the, I think that people use this as a breakfast box.

Yeah, I got some steps in. I go in a morning walk that's honestly a more normal institutional. Yeah, is that what they call it? I think so, right? Yeah. I always thought that was like a shit. Shit.

Yeah. I think the two got... Oh, they can inflate it. Yeah. Into one thing. No, I usually get some coffee in my traveler mug and I go on a little walk and so I was like, okay, I'll walk over to Robex.

I ordered something in the app. The app is kind of crap. It is easy to customize. The pickup system is a little an elegant. I mean, I've used it before. Big pet peeve for me, no way to tip on the app is kind of crap, it is easy to customize. The pickup system is a little an elegant, I mean, I've used it before. Big pet peeve for me, no way to tip on the app, they only have like a cash tip, which kind of in the ass, thankfully I had cash,

but it's just a little bit of an annoyance. So I got a few things, I got an avocado and egg toast. We should actually be talking about our entire order holistically, but I'll just say what I got, and you guys can talk about what you got. But I got the avocado and egg toast. I got the Assei Especial bowl, and I got the cool cucumber juice.

And then I also got a, an additional smoothie which we had, because we had some food beforehand that Amelia picked up for us. I got a pumpkin perfection smoothie, which is a seasonal one. We heard and we all want it. I had to try it for the novelty

because since I'd already had like a proper meal from this place and they've had it a bunch, but I'll share my thoughts in a second. In a pumpkin perfection? Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I thought it was perfectly pumpkin. It might be perfectly pumpkin. Let me see. But I might be orange. No, I'll look it up. While I do that, Mitch, tell everyone what you got. My order was I text this to Emilio. Let's see here. Let's see here. I texted to Emilio at 12 11 a.m.

Here's my order. What carrier are you reading? Which I saw this morning and I was like, oh, Mitch texted his order pretty early last night. Here's my order. Strawberry and cream cheese toast, big Wednesday smoothie, which by the way, I was thinking big Wednesday sounds like the surf movie. It sounds like the surf movie, but in my mind, it's like also like the big guy on the football

team. It sounds like that guy who stole your hot chocolate or something. It's like the name of someone. Big Wednesday. Big Wednesday. He didn't like, like Wednesday, poor one out kid. Been airfinding him.

He didn't open the win. You were correct by the way, it is perfectly pumpkin. That's what it was. Poor one out for big Wednesday. Yes. Big Wednesday. You got to see why 2K. Yeah.

He died in a fucking motorboating accident. That is strip club. Big Wednesday's dream was to see why you can't. You never got to see it. Big Wednesday got smothered at pure platinum. Oh man, we had a plan and I still think that well, we're never going to tour again. Why do you say we're never going to tour? Today, we're covering the roast beef at Pure Platt. That's what that was at one point.

That was in the ATL. Remember, we talked about going to try the wings of that strip club. That's right. Magic City. Yeah. Ryan Stanger, my fellow co-host on action boy, sent a gave her a senai video of, God, what the fuck is the guy's name? Chuck Zito. Chuck Zito on Howard Stern back in the 90s when they would talk about scores all the time.

Oh, Oakland A's pitcher. Chuck Zito. Chuck Zito was ahead of the New York Hells Angels. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. The other guy. He was a, he, he, he was on to talk about punching out Jean-Claude Van Damme. Got it. And he's talking about, they're like, so you, you got in the fight at Scores.

He's like, yeah, I was there to eat dinner. He's like, I was in there watching the girls. They actually, people don't know this. Scores is really good food. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Like the food is good. Right. Yeah. No, I was there. They have one girl kind of dance around, but nobody's like at the, they're, they're, they're the food. You're like, okay. You idiot.

You anywhere else. I'm, I have heard that Madras City is decent wings, but I don't know. You don't got to go to a strip. I mean, he is, he's just full of shit. Yes, he's full of shit. Yeah, there's better like steak houses. No, I have heard, but Magick City's wings specifically, I've heard, that's like a strip club item.

Is it a place in Atlanta? In Atlanta, yeah. Yes, because they gave us one there for 101 places. Yes, yeah. And I think Lou for 101 places. Yes, yeah, party. Yeah. And I think Lou Williams, the, I think it was a Lou Williams. So the retired NBA player, but like he would get wings from Magic City all the time, like just get the wings there. Oh, really do like to go. Yeah. Like that. Big ones a nutty assi e-bowl, lemon ginger shot. Those are, those are my three. Yeah, I also got a turmeric shot today. I got the peanut butter and banana toast and a wheat grass shot.

Mm-hmm. Is that all you got? That's all I got. Oh shit, we should have given you more stuff to try. Yeah. Sorry. I think that's a savvy talk talk about. I'm just the worst guess you ever had. It was okay. I need that much. I don't eat food. My half ounce of liquid was all right. And I spilt some of it. I spilt some of it.

We should have gotten you a drink. We fucked up. No, I mean, I could. I wanted a shot or something. Yeah. And most of the, like, I will say criticism. Most of the smoothies didn't want that good to me. There are some specific smoothies

and there's like three for each basic. Yeah, here's the issue I have with rowbacks in terms of the smoothies. And I think that's a good point. I think their menu is too complicated. They have too many subcategories of types of smoothies. Like they have superfood smoothies, classic smoothies, SIE smoothies, performance smoothies,

low calorie smoothies, wellness smoothies, fresh juices. I don't know what I'm looking at here. It's just too much text on it. There's three smoothies in each of those categories. Each of those has multiple smoothies in those category. And then also some of them have these additives. And this is like kind of that frozen in time, like 90s health stuff, where it's just like,

it will just have like sperm boost. It just has sperm boost. Most of them have some sort of like bust boost. Sterling sperm boost. Or like they're all, like I don't know if somebody at Robex was like having problems like impregnating their right Or what like a lot of them seem like they're trying to get your sperm kind of like load maximizer You know, there's you know what I got I got no bust so it's like you finished and there's nothing I got retrograde. Yeah

I don't know what it does, but yeah, you just you you, you, you, you, not, it feels great. Of course, like, nutting always does. Right. We all know that nutting feels good. Yeah, nutting feels good. Yeah. This is a good, I pray, I pray a woman, new, if a woman knew what it was like to not, can you imagine that?

Oh my god. Oh my, that's so, that's so crazy. Hey, women, you got a nut. This is good bill bird. So here's the kind of things they have added to their smoothies. Trim burner, immunity, multivitamin. And to me, that's the sort of stuff where I'm just like, I don't know what I'm, yeah. The first one.

I was like, I don't know what I'm getting here and I kind of don't want wanna put this in my body, which is like a generous, like what? Anything burger I don't want, fuck that. Like, I think I'm not gonna sleep and I'm gonna have diarrhea. Exactly, and so I avoid anything that has those enhancements and kinda stick with the more classical stuff.

The, The, The, The, The, The, The, The, The, the more classical stuff. Trimburner sounds like a phrase coming out of big Wednesday's mouth over. I'm the Trimburner. You've got it on a t-shirt. I think the Kenyans back there. I used to be on the Beaver Patrol now, but Trilmer.

Trilmer. Trimburner. I mean, I pump so fast I'm burning the Trim. I'm starting fires down there, man. You have to face that hot chocolate. I'm 10, dude. Who put it on? If you bump so, you'll kid, you ever bump so fast,

you start burying, Trin. Hey, stay away from my son. Get out of the trough. Oh my God. So, yeah, I just too many options for smoothies and too many weird enhancements. Again, it's just like kind of like fake health. And they're all so- It seems all to be juiced based, which is really art.

They really are. If I happen to smoothy, I almost want it as like a sneaky way to eat a bunch of- You get a bunch of vegetables. Right. Like fruit and like spinach or some shit. I feel like almost all of them had sherbert in them. Yeah, they all got like sherbert. They all had sherbert or yogurt and like apple juice.

Yeah. Well, again, that's even the lean green, which is in the low calorie category, has fresh finished, fresh cucumber, pineapple, raw honey, but it also has pineapple sherbet in it, and non-fat frozen yogurt and vanilla almond milk so it's got a lot of that much anymore sherbet's not it's not like a thing i don't run into sherbet i think i think it goes back to this place being founded in the nineties yeah it's just like a lot of their menu just hasn't been updated that said i think the cucumber drink i got this morning um... and i have had specifically the big ones day before

and i think that's not bad big ones is pretty pretty good. But the, I think the cucumber drink I got this morning was not particularly sweet, actually kind of liked it. I was worried that it was going to be punishingly sweet as these things often are. It also sounds like stuff like Seinfeld would get, like this is like, I'm going to go robacs. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, like thinking it's healthy.

Yeah. Keep it. This juice is just cucumber. It is just kind of like ingredients. It's just cucumber, apples, lemon, ginger, and ice. And like it was not a smoothie texture. It was like a juice, but yeah, I thought it was, it was refreshing and, and a little bit tart.

You got a lot of ginger. Again, didn't feel like it had added sugar. So I, I don't know, I was surprisingly happy with that one. You can't get the trim burner after a first date. Jared, I was trying to do George. I couldn't do it. I realized as it was going, I was like, oh, I've never even attempted this before.

It's not so tough. George is tough. Yeah, yeah. Shit. The, um, should have done Kramer. Just stuff with Kramer. Yeah.

Should have done Kramer. Just a done Kramer. Shoot it on Kramer. Shoot it on Cramer. Shoot it on Kramer's stand. Shoot it on Kramer's like 90s rainman. Shoot it on Kramer. Shoot it on Kramer. Shoot it on Kramer. Shoot it on Kramer. That's why I got to drive him. I'm the convertible should've done the claimer. Should've done the claimer. Should've done the claimer.

That's why I got to drive you home in a convertible out of the show. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not.

I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not.

I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I can figure out the etymology of the name because it's not the names of either the founders. And it doesn't have an apostrophe. I don't know what the origin is at all. I have no idea. I addressed it a little bit, my bill burrow.

I don't know if you heard early on. Robex, Robex, you know what I said that didn't. He didn't know how to say it. If you guys remember, if you might have to rewind to the beginning of the episode to remember it. But it's a fair criticism that Burr brings up, and that's why his comedy is so hard to hit him. Because that nugget of truth in there, that's like,

I do, like, what is the fucking... What is it? Yeah, he's right. Yeah, Bill Burr is correct on this one. I think that it is a weird name. In fact, it is like almost so weird that when I would drive by Robex, I didn't know, when I first moved out here, I didn't really know what they were. Yes, well.

Is it challenged to figure out what they are? And they're, they're logo is a hummingbird, right? It's a hummingbird, yeah. And they have a hummingbird drink. I think part of it is though, that they did what Jamba did, which is they Sean Parker to weigh the juice part of their brand as juice became like less, you know,

popular because of the low carb craze. And they're just RobEx now. And that, that's just like, that doesn't communicate anything. It does look like a bird, it's some sort of bird store. craze, and they're just RobEx now, and that's just like, that doesn't communicate anything. It does look like a bird, it's some sort of bird store. There is, there is, RobEx sounds like a place to buy plants and shit.

Yeah, it's about 100%. Right. There is, and there's an exotic bird store in out water. Have you ever been there before? No, I haven't. I've walked by. Yeah, there's,

freaks me out. It is a little strange. You go in, have you been in there? I've been in there before, yeah. We have to think of it of getting an exotic bird, or you just want to check it out. Yeah, it's like I'm you go in have you been in there I've been in there before yeah We think it of getting an exotic bird. You just want to check it out. Yeah, I was thinking a big delicious bird You go in this place to eat to eat one of the birds. We got big birds in there.

They got some big birds. Have you guys ever had anybody out here with zero bit radar? Were they just like, or are we all not? Whoa, dude. Yeah, that's pretty fucked up, man. You know what, these things,

those are parrots, like they're like endangered shit. We probably have had plenty of people here with zero bit radar as my guess. You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what?

You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what?

You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? Okay, well, you have an exotic bird store on the busy street. That's all windows. You don't want anybody to come in. They want to look at the birds. That's where they come in.

That's why fucking people have exotic birds. Yeah. Yeah, they should, they get a, they get a, they get a relax over there. Anyway, they should rename it Roebuck's. What the, great name for a bird place. I didn't, I did overall, I found that

it used to be a pleasant surprise. The pumpkin, perfectly pumpkin smoothie was just bizarre. I'm not, I understand. Who's a bad drink? Bad drink, bad order. You shouldn't have gotten it, I don't think. I disagree. I think it was a good thing to try for the purposes of like

seeing what they could do with a seasonal item. I feel like that is a boardane type move of like I'm going to get the weirdest thing on the menu to get to you got to get the full spectrum, but it was announced and it was taken out of the bag and it did get a room full of people to be taken aback and discuss. Yeah, I would say repulsion was the general color. The name right. Your instant reaction from yourend discuss. Yeah, I would say repulsion was the general problem. The color, the name, your instant reaction from your first sip. Yeah. It was negative.

It's across the board. Yes. Do you think we ever would have had boardane on? I mean, he was alive for a long, I guess, while the podcast was still going. I don't know. I was going to save him probably. I was actually, I was like on my way out until until you guys emailed me I was I was like pretty much done like I was like I have to fucking barrel my mouth

you pretty do it don't boys on Friday you guys bought me a couple of, like, I don't know, a few years at least. I appreciate it. The dating HR gentle right now too, right? Is that a lot of good stories? Oh, man. I don't know if I ever even had a Roebuck's drink or anything to eat from there ever. Today was the first time. I liked that big Wednesday a lot.

I thought it was a good smoothie. And I really liked you had a bite of it. I had that strawberry cream with the cream cheese toast. Yeah. That was great. That this is what I'm going to say is that the the I was trying to bring up the big Wednesday description. Maybe you have it Mitch.

But the toast I will which is a relatively recent addition to the menu, is a lot better than expected to be. And as I was eating my avocado and egg toast, which is a hard boiled egg, which I was like, kind of like, I don't know about this, but it's avocado, hard boiled egg, olive oil, pepper, salt, and then some plant-based bacon on it, just some bacon bits.

I was like, this is so much better than like a breakfast, I would get it as Starbucks. Yeah. Like this is like, I would much rather have this in an airport. And also it was way better than a lot of like the other juice places we've been even too. I feel like a... Yeah, you know, I'm trying to,

we pressed, we got some bowls from that I think were pretty who actually liked the pressed bowls. I think that though I think this food is probably better than Jambaas food. We had a decent experience at jambas. I would say the presentation and granted this is all to go order. Yeah.

My expectations were very low. Yeah. Casey and I got the same thing. Yeah. I was pleasantly surprised. Mine was good. Mine was great. I would consider it a really great snack.

Yes. Yeah. That's kind of how I felt. Casey, your reaction? Yeah, Ben described it as a great, like after school snack. Casey, I finished our homework and we nailed it. So we treat ourselves to some banana and peanut butter toast. Maybe there's some honey on there, I want to say. Yeah, there was some honey and chia seeds.

Oh yeah, he got to have those chia seeds. Yeah, really needed that. Kind of some crossover with the, mine had fresh strawberries, cream cheese, honey, pistachios, and fresh lemon zest on sour dough. And you guys were, you were the peanut butter banana? Yeah, peanut butter, sliced bananas, honey and chia seeds.

And there does seem to be a robotic construction to the toast where I looked at mine and it seemed as though they had to count the individual number of chia seeds that went on each side. Right. Right. No, it does feel pretty regimen.

Which makes me sad for like whoever's in charge. Like, and you gotta make sure each piece of toast had like they have an insurance, like okay, 20 chia seeds for toast. I have a couple chia pets of those. Cermet and Yoda, am I two chia pets? Are they growing? They were growing and then they died.

So I took all the stuff off them. They're blank right now. Got it. But I grow them every so often. How, what's the lifespan of a chia pet? I mean, if you don't, if you don't, because you're supposed to fill it up every day, and it's like summertime, and you skipped a day or two,

that would, you know, like a lot of people. But as somebody in theory, how to chia pet for 50 years? I think the oldest chia pet, yeah, I think is like 75 years old. Wow, that's amazing. Yeah, I would love to like 75. Wow, that's amazing. Yeah, I would love to hear it somebody's cheer. She's like an FDR, Cheapet. I was trying to think of someone from back in the day, FDR, so I came up with.

I mean, it's a pretty good poll, but I was like FDR would have been dead for 10 years by 75 years ago. Like it's like crazy how much time has passed. Well, it's a, it's, it's an, it's an in remembrance. That's you know, I get that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Let's maybe a ninestein. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. you just, it takes too much, I'm not trying to do bill bur.

It takes too much of your attention. She comes over, she just stares it. Yeah. And then the space on the couch is vacant. It's empty and it's waiting for her and she just is completely refusing to get up here. And seems as though she's waiting for you to give her permission, which you are giving.

I'm trying to do that, but I think she's making some out of it. But hit the pillow, come on time. Sit that I'm doing it. I'm gently pap I agree my attention is divided, but I'm saying it's like it's under like this is a nighter If anyone else was sitting there she already would have gotten up on the couch and my thought is yes Do you want to switch places and dry? Yeah, okay All right, I'm gonna stand up Mitch you come come over to the couch, I'll go sit over on the other side of bed.

I'm willing to move if I need to move anywhere. Maybe cover that with a little bit of like chair moving music in the edit, I think. I think go chairs. Oh, it's just pretty comfy over here. I'm telling ya. I've fallen chair switching spots with you. It's way more comfortable. I said I would sit over here.

You said no, I like my chair. What are you gonna do? We might as well just. Yeah, all right. Jimmy, Jimmy. Now she's just facing the way from me. Mitch isn't even getting eye contact. So we'll give it a second before we fully judge,

but right now. This is weird for me now. This is a, this is it now, not rejection. This is, I mean, I'm probably giving up. I'm not giving up. This is giving off bad vibes for me. But I mean, it is way more comfortable. Yeah, we can make this as it be a swap if you want. You get that seat. I'm fine sitting here. I'm not, I'm not off bad vibes for me. I mean, it is way more comfortable. Yeah. We can make this as it be a swap if you want.

You get that seat. I'm fine sitting here. I'm not super busy. I just had no idea how comfortable it is. I prefer the chair myself. I find I get a little too sleepy in the couch. And now, granted, that's what I want. That's what I want.

That's what I want. But you do your action boys video episodes in here as well. That's right. Yeah. I could use to turn it down a little bit and you could probably use to get some more energy. I think it's probably a good switch. This might help.

Now I do think that below is a good idea. I'm one of my criticisms of the video setup is they're weirdly crotch focused. I watch right. We've talked about this before. Yes, there's no, you just gotta accept that. We're working on it. It's your gut and crotch.

Yeah, two things I don't want anyone to see. My two, look, we love it here at HeadGum. My two complaints about the network are the HeadGum gut cam and the HeadGum echo toilet. Because if you have a drop of juice in that bathroom, especially when the hunter wiped out, it's getting back. It's getting back down.

The hunks, yeah. So we're just saying, you know, serious XM or a few other private ones. Move away from head gum. Oh, they got a pretty good set up there. Got tables. Nobody looking to fight fucking bold.

Yeah. Let's talk balls a little bit. The Asahi special bowl, which is an Asahi puree, I'm not a big Asahi guy, just generally, but I felt like I should try it. Banana blueberries and add some strawberries. I think add some strawberries on there too. They're not listed in the description.

I would say when they came out of the bag, I was like, damn, that maybe is the best looking of the order. Great presentation. That's the thing I think they nail is even with their to-go orders. I just feel bad seeing you hold up your thing now too, by the way. I'm holding my, but this is fine. I got my iPad.

I don't know. I'm holding it. The table's right there. There's table also. It's kind of my drink table, now. Can I turn to my drink table? My drink table? I don't know. I guess he could use it. It's like, look, here's the thing. The puree I found too sweet, I mean, I generally think, Mitch, I think both of us just have

a thing with at least Jane restaurants. Most of the sweet items are too sweet. And I think that's the case here, but that's the fruit was very fresh. And I think, yes, to your point, the presentation was great, a little bit of crunch from some granola, which was nice, just texturally. I don't know if that this was, again, it would be a more satisfying than a Starbucks breakfast.

I liked my nutty assaibo. Yeah, I thought it was good. There was just, it's like, it has peanut butter in there, was just a clump of peanut butter in the center, which I was like, I don't know if that's really blended in like I thought it would be, but it was good. It was decent, I think comparatively also, if you compare prices from that to,

what's the juice place, the fancy juice place that we did already? Well, we talked about press. Press also quench, we did pretty recently. Creation is another one we've done. Press, the press bowl is great. It's like really well made and it's good. Look, this is the issue with this place is because it done. Press the press ball is great. It's like really well made and it's good. Look, this is the issue with this place is because it's competing with the press and the

creations and the. You're definitely going to get it. If you want that, you're going to go to, if you want a smoothie, you're going to go to those places. Yeah, exactly. And you're going to spend $11 instead of $8. But, you know, Robux is the kind of place that would be pumped if it was at an airport. That exactly.

It's a good airport play. It's, it's, where it's in, you probably said this in the intro, but where is it in the rest of the country? Is it, because I only saw it when I moved out here. It's, I mean, it started in Southern California. It started in LA. And I, I know they'd like expanded a lot.

They tried to expand Asia to a certain point. They had over a hundred locations, you know, like a decade and change ago. Now they've got about 90 and they're mostly scattered in the West Coast. But I didn't do a track of which states exactly they're in. Because I feel like it would maybe be a hit too. And you know, if there was one in Quincy, I would use it. I can't even do it like another. Maybe there's a jamba nearby, but this was, that toast was good. The ball was good. I don't know.

It didn't make it in Asia. Huh. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, that was one of the hazards of. You spelled like one tenth of your meal. By, by, by, by, by, by. But that accident was not much in there. And I popped the top. It's weird that it comes in like a salsa cup. Like that's what I just threw me a little bit. It's in a dipping container.

Yeah. And then also the, but they put those, but they put all of them into a cup with ice around it, which I think that was kind of nice. Yeah. That was great. That was, that was, yeah, really thoughtful. Like a guy who drank your hot chocolate,

he needed like a, a, a wiger child to set him, like scare him straight. You know what I mean? He needed like a guy to just buy, like a kid just staring back. He had children in the corner. I just looked at that. He's like fucking, stares through him. That's my hot chocolate.

Don't touch it. That's what I can do. That's what I can do. I can't, don't touch it. That belongs to me. I can't shoot. I must have my sweet cocoa. He would still be with us though. I think you would have made more. I would have been good for him.

I would keep big Wednesday. Let's take one more break. We'll be right back with our fork scores right after this. Uh, welcome back to doughboys. It's time for our fork scores. So Ben, here's how this will work. We'll each go around give our final thoughts on What are you doing with the finger? She's looking me. with the finger. She's looking me. Get me is up on the couch next to Mitch. Yes, she came up here all on her own. No coaching involved. No coaching at all. And Mitch is doing his impression of a

doughboys fan sticking his finger in the dog. Nick Mitch. Nick Mitch. I heard her in the dog's mish. Nick Mish. Nick Mish. Nick Mish. Tommy Forrest is my finger smell yet. Here's my wife and three kids. The most beautiful wife you've ever seen in your life. Oh my god.

I'm in like three versions of him, like holding fingers out. They're like fuck. The fuck happened. So Ben, here's, we'll, we each go around, we'll give our closing thoughts on RobEx juice and then give it a score from zero to five forks.

We begin with our guest who is you. We'll start over here. Okay. I guess I'm gonna go middle the road. Like, I wanna say, like, I'm gonna give three. Bear. Three, four, four, four. Yeah.

I don't know, it's funny, because like I did like that the strawberry cream cheese toast. I thought that it was all well done. What was the price point is I don't really know because we got a group order. It's a little bit like, let me bring up my receipt. I actually didn't take a photo of the... Well, this is like less than juice.

I mean, it's press, it's juicery. I can find out. It's definitely less than, it's definitely cheaper than press, juicery. Mm-hmm. For what it is, it's okay. Yeah. Amelia was taking photos of the order and her phone number was on the receipt. And I'd never seen someone more scared that our listeners order and her phone number was on the receipt and I'd never seen

someone more scared that our listeners would get her phone. When you took the photograph, you didn't get the phone number wasn't on there right? I was like, will the lead them will get rid of it, but we won't post them up. She was like, I think she, I think it really affected her. I get it. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't.

I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn it. I get it. Been back. What the fuck was, let's see if my order is. Probably your phone number was round the order. I'll pick your order. Could you send this to Mitch? It was a hundred and five, thirty five before tip. So we got a decent amount of stuff. I told the million of tip $2. So. My individual item prices,

my avocado and egg toast was $9.49. My cool cue on the number of drink was $9.39. And my assay special bowl was $11. Okay, so I mean, it's not cheap, but. Yeah. And these days, what is? Yeah. Good point.

You know, when it comes to road backs, you know, I don't know, you know, I don't know You know George gets dance It's getting better, you know You gave you know you get a smoothie Jay Leno Jay Leno. He's got me. He's got me. For his top, for his losses.

Like, per, you got to get jokes, man. Just stand up. It's just saying, you know. Uh, I think that, uh, I think that I'm not going to do the whole, that the whole time. I think that it's a, it's, it's good for, I think, like, the lower, it's kind of like how Johnba kind of impressed us, too. It's the same sort of thing. It's in for what it is.

I don't know. Three and a half forks. Yeah, I think I'm gonna be ballpark buds with Mitch here. I think because the benefits from relatively low expectations, again, I've been to this place a bunch. And so I kind of know what it is, but these weren't the food items I'd normally get from there. I mean, I normally would just get a smoothie and that would just be as a treat, not any sort of health thing. I think it is three and a

half forks. I think that's where I land. I went. Everything I had. The big Wednesday, I think, is pretty great. That strawberry cream cheese toast was good. The bowl was decent, besides the not being one, and the shot was good. And it was really good. I totally agree. Everything was hitting, and everything was doing what you, what it was trying to accomplish. And also just to compare it to the chain

that's in our recent memory, our most recently recent new episode, where we reviewed Milk Bar with Lisa Gilroy, like I would 100% rather go back to RobEx. Oh, yes. And that was a three, four chain. So for me, this gives us an extra half fork, for sure. All right, that was our review of RobEx.

Hey, it's time for a segment. I forgot to get it, though. Let me go grab that because we're going to do a snacker whack. We are back. Wow. Mm. All right, we're back with snacker whack. I got a food stuff we decided it's worth

putting your mouth uh... and we've got these cheetos pretzels which are new as of this record there's a cheddar flavor and there's a flamin hot flavor uh... so i got some of each of these uh... better you are you a cheetos guy uh... i can't remember last time i had cheetos i do love chester Cheetah. He's one of the greats.

He's one of the all time greats and I'm glad he's still, I'm happy to see that he's still around. Yeah, great mascot. He's been sticking around. They did it at a certain point. Like he's used to be like a, have a little bit more attitude and then a certain point they're like,

let's make him like a dignified British guy. So they sort of repond his personal. I don't like that. I don't like it either. So part make him like a dignified British guy. So they sort of retconned his personal. I don't like that. I don't like it either. So part of them died a little bit, but, but, uh, but I don't know if he's back, I don't know if he's still the British guy or if he's like back is like kind of like the cat with attitude.

Yeah, he used to be sort, he used to have like kind of a jazzy vibe. Yeah. Ronald McDonald is dead, right? I mean like, like, he's dead. Ronald is dead. Yeah, like, I mean, they killed him. Those suicide type thing where he missed took two shots to get through Grimmis's head. I found those fry kids all

just just to be a mascot that that survives, you know, Jared obviously is no longer. He's on ice right for the time being. He might be coming back, but that was the subway people were like, we got to put Jared on ice for just a little bit till this blows over. I, I'm wondering about these Nick, if they are,... are they actually are they actually pretzels covered in the season they absolutely are here i'm just gonna hand these over then you can feel free to go first and then we'll dig our into here just to check with that chair there's a lot of responsibility now you have to get me the snacks

do you normally get the snacks i get the snacks to you a lot of the time. Here's what I'll say. I love Cheetos. They are especially, and you know, like, again, I said it early, but I'm a bit of a heat seeker, and I love the Flamin' Hot Variety, it's a lot of fun. So I'm interested to see how this translates to pretzels. The thing is, as much as I love Cheetos,

I don't necessarily love pretzels. Like for me, it's like kind of not my go-to snack. I'd rather have a potato chip or a tortilla chip if I'm able to put a crunch, even just some nuts over pretzels. And in a mix, maybe it's okay. I will say, the mix of the flavor with the pretzel is pretty bizarre.

It is pretty bizarre. While you weren't kidding. I prefer the hot to the chatter. My first bite was, these are it's strange. Yeah, this is, and I'm just having the flame in hot right now, but it my two pretzels I've had makes you ask like why? Yeah, like they did they did this, I guess, for the novelty of it, because I don't think there's going to have staying power. No, these are weird. Let me try the plane one. These are going the way of international house of burgers.

Wow. So the cheddar one. Cheddar weird to me. I'm really strange. Some of them are thin and some of them are fat. I don't really get the, you know. There's not a lot of consistency between the individual pretzels, which is its own problem.

But the powder, the Cheetos powder on pretzels is just like very asynchronous. Oh, I have some napkins, thank you Emma. Let me just show you these, sorry. We're getting the couch orange. The new couch that I'm sitting on So I was a walking napkin And that's the time to have the like the white

nasty I want to try the oh sorry Jimmy. I want to try the the flaming hots again. Flamin hot is better It's way better is acceptable the cheddar is is The cheddar is, is, the cheddar is like, you go over to somebody's house and they have these and you're like, I gotta go home. Yeah, if I'm being shared, if I'm being shared,

it's akin to like a goldfish cracker, but not nearly as good. I'm the issue with this, is the pretzel. I mean, like, it's not a great pretzel. Pretzel is not a good delivery system of the dust. Mm-hmm. And you're just so, like, they don't go, because we've had, what are the,

the honey mustard pretzels that are good, Snyder's? Snyder's, yeah. This doesn't work, like, it should work like that. I grew up in a pretzel household. My dad's a big pretzel guy. You know a pretzel brand of choice. I'm a pretzel rod guy.

Okay. I don't really care so much as a brand. He was a Snyder's guy. Snyder, sure. But those things were too dense for me. Yeah. But I feel like I would have friends over to like, to like sleep over and they would be like,

all you have is pretzels. And they'd be like so disappointed by our next lecture. Pretzels and concentrate were juice. You know what I got at some one point was, my dad liked pretzels a lot. He was a pretzel guy too, a little bit. It was like it's super pretzeling on the ones

in their freezer. Oh yeah, sure. Those were fun. Those were fun. That was like a huge upgrade. Mm-hmm. I'll wait for a few minutes. You put them under water to get the salt to stick on them. Yeah, like put them under the faucet.

Funny enough salt is the part of the pretzel. I don't like, I never cared that much about the salt delivery of it. Interesting, I love the salt people. I like the soft bread. I, here's the thing, like I love a soft pretzel. Hard pretzels, I've never super been into. But, but all that said, I think both of you,

and I think you're making independent points. I think you're slickly related point. I know I get it, she likes you, it's fine. You have cheesy fingers. You have cheesy fingers. You have cheesy fingers. You have cheesy fingers. You have cheesy fingers.

Not before we tried them. That's right, that's right. You have cheesy fingers. The, the pretzels are a bad delivery system for the powder. And I think you were saying this, Mitch, they're also not great pretzels. Right, pretzels. And that's part, it's just two strikes and that means you're whack. They're whack. I still kind of want to eat them still.

Yeah, my life is a hungry, and they're a snack, but I don't like that. They are. It's just the Cheetos dust. You're like, I like the Cheetos dust. The chemistry down where you will finish your bag. Right, and they are bad. Yeah, I don't love them. They're both waxed, both waxed for me.

Two wax. Peanut butter pretzels, great. There's a combo that goes good. Those are fun, yeah. Big hit. Two waxed, but I took the no bustshoot, the shot. Pfft. Pfft.

Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Sucks. Sucks. Sucks. Sucks.

Sucks. Sucks. Sucks. Sucks. Sucks. Sucks. Sucks. Sucks. Sucks. Sucks. Sucks. Sucks. You're gonna call me a moron, two bucks, two waxed and it's got the bus shot. That was snack or wax, just like a restaurant,

I got your feedback, let's go to the feedback and, hey, we got an email from Megan. Megan writes, hello and wow, if you could make any unhealthy food permanently healthy, which would you choose or a healthy food permanently unhealthy, so you'd never have to eat it again, Christmas is a hot cocoa holiday. Contra, our Christmas is a cookie holiday theory. This is from Megan, as I mentioned, unhealthy. The stallion or not the stallion. There's no the stallion suffix. It could be. Okay. But I would assume it's not. I. This is first off man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man.

I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man.

I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man.

I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I think that's the funny thing. I think that's the funny thing. I think that's the funny thing. I think that's the funny thing. I think that's the funny thing. I think that's the funny thing. I think that's the funny thing.

I think that's the funny thing. I think that's the funny thing. I think that's the funny thing. I think that's the funny thing. I think that's the funny thing.. Yeah, probably for the country. But pizza itself, you're saying like, if like eating a slice of pizza was akin to eating what? Like having like, you know, salad. Like a salad.

Like a salad. Okay, guys. If eating pizza, if eating four slices of pizza is like eating a big salad, got it. Then I would, it would be pizza. That would be great. That would be great. I mean, like, and then I would eat it already, like,

in our world or whatever, when you work on anything, they always just offer you pizza no matter what, anyway. And I also love it. So it's that sort of thing of like, I would just eat it all the time. I'm with you on this. I think pizza's my go to, like junk meal of choice.

Yeah. Where I could easily eat a whole, I would do a party once with Pete. Actually, it was a large Lucifer's pizza and I thought I'd be the big hero of this party like showing up with the pizza. Yeah. No one wanted it. Really?

They all had stuff and like everybody was like occupied and I ate the entire pizza myself. What the fuck? They're old. And at the end of the night somebody did call me out like my friend's girlfriend was like, oh wow, you ate that whole pizza and then I was like, I should have left some like.

For anybody. For anybody. But also for fuck her for Kanye out of it. It was bullshit. It was bullshit. You must have not been at a comedy part. I mean, I'm just saying like, Gabor's must have not been there.

Yes, it was a light comedy. Okay. But then I did just camp out with this thing, like right in front of me. Like it was a personal piece there. So you can, there's always room for pizza. That's what I'm saying. So yeah, I do wish it was,

it had the, the, the cl, cl, cl, caloric,, clat, clat, caloric, caloric intake of a salad. Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna go with the more, by the way, I think that's an alpha move what you did. I think bringing a pizza to the party

and eating the whole thing of no one else wants it. I think that's completely reasonable. Yeah. You're in the right. The, I would go with, I'm going with the more base answer, which is just the humble potato. I think of a potato was a healthy food.

If it was just like fibrous and loaded with proteins. This is the worst answer. And not carbs. Mitch, no, this is not a bad answer. Because now I've said, Potato, Matt, how long have you got to let them back it up before I am? Okay, okay. All of a sudden now a baked potato is healthy. Mashed potatoes are healthy, fries are healthy.

All these different potato form factors are suddenly healthy. Hash brown does know a health food. I feel like you're getting a little cute. Yeah, I think you're getting a little fucking cute. I'm getting cute. Get a little cute, because like nobody's like, you know what junk food I want? A potato.

A potato. Okay, baked potato maybe is a bridge too far, although I do think that's an indulgence for some people. Yes. And if you just throw on, if you're just talking in terms of like, hey, I'm throwing on butter and stuff. Potatoes themselves, that's not the issue with the big potatoes.

It's butter and fucking sour cream. The fucking carbs. It's the carbs. It's not the fat. The added fats are fine. You need fats. The issue with the fries is not the, I like the stuff.

I like the stuff. I mean, I would like, like, scalp potatoes now in there. Yeah. Pretty, pretty, pretty big. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's what I'm saying.

If you have a potato and every preparation of potato is now a health food, now all of a sudden you have what's generally a junky side is something that's nutritious for you. It's like I'm gonna side a broccoli in a bunch of different drinks. Are you not turning me? I think it's a horrible answer. Well, it's a little, it's a little like trying to trick the genie, I feel like. Yeah, why are like trying to trick the genie, I feel like.

Yeah, why are you trying to trick the genie? Why are you fucking with the genie? Because I still, let me tell you something, he's gonna get back out. No, this is iron flat. The genie's not gonna come up with any sort of ironic thing. I think this one is, I think this one is solid. I think potatoes are pretty good answer. I don't know why you're so dismissive of it.

I was fucking fine with pizza. Pizza's a great answer. I think potatoes also are good at it. But it's a little bit like saying cheese. Yeah. Hey, you know what, if it's just, if it's just, if it's just healthy, then we would have pizza, we would have grilled cheeses.

But in this scenario. But in this scenario. Then the cheese, then before you know, you're fucking like you the genie took your balls Fucking cheese balls Cheese working some weird shit. I had the fucking nut Cheese working some weird shit. I had the fucking nut In your scenario though pizza is healthy are we saying that like cheese on its own tomato sauce on its own like all that bread Like you know the dough on its, all these individual components are unhealthy. When they come together, it says,

all pizza is healthy. But the individual components, if you take just the cheese, that means it. That's what the question is. What was the other half of the question? We didn't even answer that part of it, yeah. What if you make a healthy thing with the Congress? Yeah, which,

Oh. Which healthy, that's funny, because I'm just like, it's making people like, it's like funny because what I'm just like. It's making people like it's like little kid logic where it's like, you have to give it. Yeah, you have to give it to another. Maybe sprouts get sprout. I don't need sprouts. I'll dare you. I love sprouts.

Oh, too bad. They're unhealthy now. Well, if they were unhealthy, I'd still have them. I'd still have them as a top. And that would be your, it'd be your cheat day in the old. Yeah. And have some sprouts for fun. For dessert. Exactly. Guess what? The other, it is your cheat day in the old. Yeah, and have some sprouts for fun. For dessert, exactly.

Guess what? It is your cheat meal now. Sprouts, what's my answer? I do mean brussel sprouts. You mean like sprouts. Sprouts. I love sprouts. Brussel sprouts, rock, man.

Yeah, I would never do that. I would never do that. The brussel sprouts. Yeah, I appreciate you leaving brussel sprouts alone. What's your choice? It's something unhealthy that I want to make healthy. We make our choices. No, something healthy that you make unhealthy.

Oh, right. Something healthy that I want to make unhealthy. Oh, I'm sure, you know what, I kind of just get annoyed by like. No, I'd say lettuce or something, I'll be mad. You said sprouts. I know, but sprouts are different from lettuce. Well, it's still a green vegetable. It's still a green vegetable.

Well, because we would have to be more specific with lettuce. Yeah, I guess what type of lettuce, yeah. What type of lettuce, if it's like iceberg or something. Yeah, I would be fine to show them like butter lettuce on healthy, that would be interesting, I feel like. I'm kind of exhausted by brand. I feel like it just brand.

That's a great answer. It's just like, I don't need this shit. Like make that unhealthy, so I don't have to hear about it anymore. And also, because I'm not even sure brand like great answer. It's just like I don't need this shit. Like make that unhealthy. So I don't have to hear about it anymore. And also because I'm not even sure if it is healthy. But I feel like it's like marketed as a health food. So you know what I choose? That fiber.

Yeah. I choose water. No. No. No. Give me a little bit of fuck water. The water is now unhealthy. That man's bad for you. You're drinking water.

The gym was wrong with you. Here you have some of my gatorade Jake Sully's like on a mobility scooter Water The mighty ikron all of a jumbo water It's getting late. I don't drink coffee. I just drink a big ass water. Yeah, water is, do you have, do you have an answer for the, did you answer either of these yet? You have to before you go. Before we let you leave, you have to answer this. How could one that was unhealthy that I wouldn't want to eat God brand is a fucking great answer and I'm jealous of it. I feel like I'm just gonna bust out one. I don't really believe it

Fuck is a good healthy thing Be nice of butter was like fully healthy butter being healthy is good, but you know. I was thinking of some oil like olive oil or like coconut oil. Yeah, like a healthier oil. Sure. Oh, I'm sorry, Jimmy. Yeah, like I'll take that out of my rotation. Coconut water or something like something

of that, like something in the morning. Sure. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure.

Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure.

Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. I feel like any sort of beef would be good to turn. We're just getting into tricky territory where like is beef healthy? Is something just high protein, high fat, is that healthier or not?

I don't know. I mean, my answer is like either pizza or cheeseburgers. Like that's my answer. Tacos I would put in the mix. Oh, tacos to get answered. What about noodles? Like, I have noodles with a lot of sauce. That's a great answer.

A big bowl of spaghetti is like a big bowl of sauce. That's pretty good. A big old fucking bowl of ramen is a big ball. That's pretty good. A big old fucking balleraman is out healthy. That's pretty good. I would like a big baller pasta like every night. Yeah. As your vitamins. All right, Emma wins the feedback.
