Wags.
I remember when my digestion wasn't at its best.
Like it was yesterday.
Yeah, I felt sluggish.
My immune system was flat lining. I just had no support for my immune system.
I was getting sick left and right. Well, if you're a long time listener, you might know I've
been drinking AG1 for a few years now and everything's changed. When I start drinking AG1 daily,
I could feel a real difference in my daily health. That's because AG1 is a foundational nutrition
supplement that supports your body's universal
needs, like gut optimization, stress management, and immune support.
I've gotten sick way less than last few years.
Have you noticed that?
Which I have noticed.
Since 2010, AG1 has led the future of foundational nutrition, continuously refining their formula
to create a smarter, better way to elevate your baseline health.
That's right, Wax.
Not only did I replace my multivitamin with AG1,
but I love that every scoop also includes prebiotics,
probiotics, and digestive enzymes for gut support,
magnesium and B vitamins for energy support,
as well as adaptogens to balance your body's stress levels
and vitamin C and zinc to support immune health.
Wow.
AG1 has a team of doctors and scientists.
It is tested for 950 contaminants
and NSF certified for sport.
It is formulated based on the latest science
and maintains high quality standards.
A.G.1 is a supplement I trust
to provide the support my body needs daily.
And that's why they've been a partner for so long.
If you want to take ownership of your health,
it starts with A.G.1.
Try A.G.1 and get a free one year supply
of vitamin D3 K2 and five free AG1 travel packs with your first purchase. Wags, all you
got to do is open up a little travel pack, toss it in the glass of water or bottle water,
shake it on up. You're good to go. You got everything covered in a day.
Go to drink AG1.com slash doboys. That's drink AG1.com slash do boys. Check it out.
Check it out. Oh, the holidays are right around the corner. And while it's great to get gifts
for the people you love, it's also a time to give back to those less fortunate. And
I'm not just talking about people in need wagsigz. But cats, too. That's right.
I rescued my cats, Wally and Irma.
I know this, so you're a big advocate
for people rescuing kiddies in need.
Our next sponsor is a brand that Wally, Irma, and you,
and I by proxy love mainly for their food,
but also because they donate to the Humane Society.
Did you notice the character I was doing in the intro?
A Santa?
It was Santa.
Wow.
You know what, I thought it was Santa, but it wasn't sure. But I was intro? A Santa? It was Santa. Wow.
You know what?
I thought it was Santa, but it wasn't sure.
But I was like, I think he's doing Santa.
Yes.
And it was like, it's like a smart take on Santa.
Thank you.
The podcast is sponsored by Smalls.
If you're a listener of the show, you know, my cat cannot stand being without their smalls.
Smalls, cat food is protein packed recipes made with preservative free ingredients.
You'd find in your fridge
and it's delivered right to your door. We call them Professor Santa, just a pinch. You don't take
it or leave it by my mouth. Professor Santa, I don't know, just a thought.
Smalls cat food is protein packed recipes made with preservative free ingredients you'd find in
your fridge and it's delivered right to your door. Smalls recently kicked off a partnership with
the Humane Society. They've donated over a million dollars with the food to help cats
through the Humane Society and they even give you a million dollars with the food to help cats through the Humane Society
and they even give you a chance to donate a checkout.
Whether you donate $3 for treats, $5 for vaccines,
or $7 for spaying and neutering.
Do you remember how stinky and smelly
my old cat food was, Wags?
He knew.
I used to leave the house smell like cat food.
I was like the pied piper, cats would be falling me around.
Well, I can finally open a packet of cat food and not get nauseous.
I actually recognize ingredients in a packet of smalls cat food.
The difference that smalls makes is real.
After making the switch to small, 78% of cat owners reported their cats had shinier and softer fur
and 90% reported overall health improvements.
That's a big deal.
A huge deal.
And with smalls, you can adjust or cancel anytime.
Easily skip shipments, switchup
recipes, and add on goodies based on cats' needs and preferences.
Professor Santa is like, Coco plus cookies equals, and then it's a smiley emoji.

Doe Boys, not Santa.
In the city of fallen angels,
where dreams turn to nightmares daily,
a once-pultry, poultry restaurant
into chicken empire grew.
Up in the Hellish Valley scrambled brains
thought thoughts of murder.
Family slaughtered whole like chickens,
cleaving father's dreams in two.
Garlic sauce could ward off Dracula,
but not halt a palace coup.
Quotha chicken?
Zang coup.
This week on Doe Boys, we uncover a grizzly taboo in Shock DoBoer Death 2023, a terrifying
month of fights and bites, with the murders.
Mostly birds of Zang Koo Chicken. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Hell come to doe Hellboys, the podcast about rattling chain restaurants.
I'm the murder boy, Nick Weiger.
Along with my co-host, the crumbs are coming from inside the mouth.
The spoon wolf man, Mike Mitchell.
How do you hoe?
I would like to urge everyone who's listening to this right now to go wherever in the show notes
or whatever and click on an image of what's
currently happening and no and understand that I was not told that people would be wearing
costumes.
It's true.
Nor was I told this would be a fiend spooky episode. I'm watching the YouTube, you see it right now.
But if not, is this my camera?
Why isn't his most natural element?
That's right.
And I look like the Batman copycat guys from, is it Dark Knight?
Dark Knight, yeah. The guy that has to be like, stop doing what you're doing. And I look like the Batman copycat guys from is it dark night dark night? Yeah.
The guy that has it, he has to be like, stop doing what you're doing.
Right. I look like like the big fat fools that try to like help put on a bunch of like hockey
pads. Exactly.
And we're in hockey pads.
Uh, you're, yes, you're just as bat.
Your costume is Batman.
I'm costume is the Heath Ledger Joker.
Uh, and I, I do like to think of the reality
where you, Mike Mitchell, are Bruce Wayne
and this is your disguise.
Yes.
What would it mean?
Immediately, we know you are.
What would it take for this to tip into reality?
Like, I feel like Wiggs, if you just wore this costume
for five hours,
you would become the judge.
I mean, this guy, I think it would be,
I just think it's a matter of time spent living inside of it.
You seem very susceptible to this.
I didn't even know it was costume day.
I did offer Wags $500 to ride the bus home.
Yeah.
Listen, I'm flush with cash because I never had to pay Mitch the 10 grand for getting a
charted salt.
Wow.
That deal won forever just so you know, so I, that's forever in perpetuity.
Yeah.
Okay.
An open ended bet.
You know what?
I'll accept that.
I'm cool.
I'm cool with that.
He, Wigger came into the room with a lot of energy and it was frightening.
When you came into the,
we were in the lunch room and I had a gum here.
You, you, you, you, you,
I'd gum studios has a cafeteria.
I got my tray.
I got my tray.
The head gum lunch lady.
And she's a ball breaker.
Oh yeah, makes it mean casserole.
We, I saw like,
and of course a model.
Yeah.
We're here at high gum.
Head gums and honey.
Yeah, check calendar now.
This massive is already causing problems.
I mean, it's not fit for my face or my head.
Can I also say so we have, there's an adjacent thing that's in construction.
There's another room in the door was closed and that's where I was changing earlier.
And I accidentally left my phone in there.
So just before we recorded, I went in, the door was closed,
I opened the door and went in to achieve my phone.
I didn't realize Anya from head gum was working in there
on her laptop with her headphones.
So the Joker walks in.
Oh my God.
I would say even scarier, even scarier.
The Wigger Joker walks in.
Like perhaps the scariest iteration of the Joker is not Heath Ledger.
It's not Joaquin Phoenix. It's wiger Joker.
He probably had in her life so serious.
But he probably had in her text like, I love you mom.
Goodbye.
I'm going to say that until you came in this moment has finally come.
Wiker has found a Joker costume game over.
You'll read about it.
You didn't tomorrow's newspaper.
Funny thing is is that he had a professional Joker costume that you sold.
Yeah, I do.
I had like a night white and sell it, but like I got rid of all the pieces
because I had, you know, back in the dark night days,
I was doing, and I still had this kind of length hair back then.
I was doing Joker bit, so I had like pretty nice cosplay.
You got rid of that costume.
You got it.
You got it.
You got it.
You got it.
You got it.
You got it.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, my God.
What did he do with it?
That was cute. Awesome.
I texted that to Wager too.
I probably shouldn't have repeated it.
I got to put it.
Repeat jokes are always the best.
Like my $500 joke.
Yeah, yeah, it's good.
Listen, it's got a second life.
People need to hear it.
And you know what, both of us did the honorable thing of saying that we made this show
for you.
Absolutely.
Yeah, it's fine. That's a very improviser's caveat.
Right, right, right.
Only an improviser is like, I feel like I'm cheating
by repeating the joke that I already said
to three people I'm saying it out to the whole audience,
but I gotta let them know I'm cheating.
No, if you ever worked on any sort of panel show thing
which I've done, like everything is scripted,
like basically all these, you know, off the cuff like ribs.
So much of stuff is just like scripted ahead of time, but like, getting away, making people understand the Hollywood
pre-alive panels show truths. Exactly. Everything scripted. But I, or, you know, I mean, not,
not absolutely everything. Someone will say something funny off the cuff, but a lot of the stuff
that like seems like it's, you know, off the top of someone's head has been crafted backstage.
And like, yeah, I think a lot of people do that don't really feel any shame about it,
because it's just a problem.
That's right.
Wigers skill is creating things that seem like in the moment discoveries.
Conversational, easy conversational jokes in the moment. Hi, Joey Spooky, right?
Have a great clock tober.
I'm guessing that's the name this month.
What's scarier than the passage of time?
All the best from Panama, Saludos, El Varo M.
Our buddy from Panama, El Varo.
RoastSpoonManageemount.com.
I, uh, this is, I had to use duct tape
to get this around my neck and it's going into my neck.
Oh my God.
The kids Batman costume doesn't fit.
You have the giant that is my Mitchell.
Your head is just trying to break that mask.
I can't believe I got it around my,
I honestly can't believe this.
You're gonna, I said this already as well,
you're gonna have a terrible rash from that man. A hundred and probably a splitting headache
in a couple hours, but it's worth it.
And duct tape, I would love it if you guys just went outside
right here outside the head gum studios
and just started fighting each other.
I said, I said, howdy ho and the Batman voice,
but I wanna say, howdy ho in the Batman voice, but I want to say,
howdy ho!
There you go.
Boogie.
And, um, podcasts bad.
That's what I did the other time.
That's really good.
I want to add a thing each time.
Okay, do you have another one?
Um, no.
I'll just...
Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun.
How's that?
Little JS Bach.
Is that who that is?
Yeah.
I don't know that.
Oh yeah, these are box famous organ compositions.
But it was Dracula himself who wrote that.
It was like church music and it got reappropriated
to being like, on a scary stuff.
Yeah, he's a very deeply religious band.
I didn't know all that often.
No, I studied science to say some broke music back in the day.
Like AP Music Theory.
That's another good one.
You'll know this one.
Mm-hmm. Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh I mean, haunted, keep playing video games as an adult.
Got it.
So I didn't have a childhood spent playing all the games.
This is like, well, I'm hard.
Similarly, well, Heinz got into video games as an adult.
So really, it was, and I vividly remember it,
I was in Los Angeles for pilot season,
staying in a friend's house and he had
whatever the system was and the game bio shock.
Okay. Which I was like, what the fuck is this?
Yeah, that's incredible.
Yeah. I had that experience that people had in their teenage years where I stayed up until
like five o'clock in the morning playing the game, went back to New York after a pilot season
was done, bought a game system and that game played it to completion and then didn't play
another video game for years.
And that's my relationship with the video games. I become obsessed with something like Fallout 4
or Red Dead Redemption 2.
I play it for a while
and then I fully abandon video games forever.
What's the last thing you played?
I just played the Star Wars.
Oh yeah.
Did I start a survival at the most recent one?
Is that the second one? the second one of those.
I think that's it.
Which was a blast.
Yeah, sure.
And I started this new game, Starfield.
Oh, yeah, Starfield.
Starfield and a Starfield.
Which is too open for me.
I find the games where you are able to pick up stuff,
all I do is pick up stuff.
Yeah, sure. I don't fight anybody. All I do is pick up stuff. Yeah sure.
I don't fight anybody.
All I do is make sure I got every pen, beaker, and microscope
from every room in a completist fashion,
and it is tremendously wasting time.
You're just harvesting resources.
And none of it's meaningful.
None of it's sellable, none of it's usable.
It's just busy work.
It's just junk.
I'm cleaning up. Yeah. I'm cleaning up a wasteland
You you should try like a power watch simulator or like a farming. Oh, you should like see if those great
I mean, that's a thing. There are games now where you can just they're just soothing games. We just clean
I'd love to just tidy up a little. Yeah
I Mario one
I'm sorry. Oh honest honestly if you could suggest one Mario,
I think you should play, is Mario
Odyssey too big of a world thing?
Well, this is a thing,
but these are similar to the 3D open world games
you're playing already.
So you would, on mechanically,
you would understand how a Mario Odyssey works.
And that's a great game.
I would maybe start with Odyssey.
Odyssey is so good.
I'll do it.
I mean, that's so good.
But do you have a switch?
I do.
Wow, there you go.
Yeah, why not?
True yourself. I played a little bit of the first. Oh, yeah, yeah, why not? Try yourself.
I played a little bit of the first, not the first,
the breath of the wild zone.
Yes.
That's why I got a switch.
There you go.
It was because people were talking about that game
and I was like, all right, I'll check it out.
Yeah.
Played it a bunch and then a band of it.
Yeah.
Mario is more contained.
It's big still.
Yeah.
It's probably the biggest Mario game, right?
I would say it's got to be. I wonder. I wonder if it's the still. Yeah. Similarly, it's probably the biggest Mario game, right? I would say it's got to be.
I wonder.
I wonder if it's the longest Mario game.
I would like it if you guys just did Batman
and the Joker review Mario.
I would like to review Mario games.
I would like to review Mario games.
I would like it if you guys just did Batman and the Joker review Mario.
Overall Mario wonder gets three and a half mushrooms.
Smash.
Only three and a half.
You know, you're giving a five mushroom.
It's a five mushroom. Yeah. Emma, let's hit him with a half. You know, you're giving a five. It's my show.
Yeah.
Emma, let's hit them with the drop.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
They're great, they're the end.
They're cookie.
They're mysterious and spooky.
They're all together.
Goopy, the Do-Boys podcast.
Meet.
Sweet treat.
Wow.
Well crafted. That was well done.
Yeah.
Hi, Do-Boys.

And I finally decided to put it together.
Hope you enjoy the spookiest of months and have plenty of Reese's pumpkins.

Drop king is just hanging out.
Yeah.
DK and the lady drop king.
And DQ yeah.
He's just hanging out.
They're just here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We were like, come and see your record
and then there's no room in this room. So he's just kind of sitting out there. He's just
hanging and was like, I felt like really trying to fight me. He was giving me like very
aggro energy. Yeah. It's being in the head gum studios. You're sort of like, I got to
be like a hunk now. Well, the head gum studios for a lot of people, I feel like that listen and I listen, you know,
so I have a little bit of insight
hearing you guys talk about it,
but it's also a CrossFit Studio.
So it's podcasts, it's cramming,
it's microphones, it's cameras, it's battle ropes,
it's big giant boxes, tractor tires.
We're all sitting on giant tractor tires.
We've never, Nick and I have never taken advantage boxes, tractor tires, we're all sitting on giant tractor tires.
We've never, Nick and I have never taken advantage of the work out equipment at Hague. We just walk out the door. Yeah, we just leave immediately.
Raid the fridge and then we're out of here. Our guest today for

By the way, the SAG strike is still going on.
And you guys are promoting a Warner Brothers property.
Ooh.
We can go on studio lots for writing reasons.
We can contact the studios.
Speaking of which,
Dear Mattel.
Dear Mattel.
The following is a list of my many issues
with the Barbie movie.
If you're not watching the YouTube,
just know that when Mitch does this,
he moves his fingers around like he's typing.
So, tear Mattel.
Like he's playing a piano.
I don't know.
I gotta talk to him a lot.
My issue is a Barbie movie.
We can't get into it.
We can't get into it.
We don't want to detail.
You don't think the three gentlemen on this panel
should break down our beef with the Barbie movie?
And shock of a shock.
So sure native Mike Mitchell has a problem
with that Barbie movie.
Boston tone.
Boston's behind me on this one.
Boston's strong.
Oh, no, no. Boston's strong against on this one. Oh, yeah. Boston's strong. Oh, no, no.
Boston's strong against the Barbie movie.
Not my, you have a,
Tedges is not my Barbie.
Hashtag not my Barbie?
Hit that before the movie released.
We got to, we got to, we got to bring back Boston's strong.
In some way, I think that this is a good enough reason to f-
Sure.
If we don't, then we're tacitly agreeing that Boston is weak.
I agree.
That is the truth, everyone.
Suks.
Also, a bad time to do this,
but rest in peace, Tim Wakefield,
the great reds,
one of the greatest knuckleballers of all time.
Wow, it's passed away.
So be a few weeks in the future,
but that's very nice, Mitch.
That's fine.
He's still dead?
Yeah, I think so.
Suks. Kurt Schilling, a piece of shit out of them.
Did you read this or no?
No, I didn't.
Kurt Schilling, like everyone was quiet about
and then Kurt Schilling was like,
people were like, like, told me this
and I don't think I'm supposed to say it,
but he said that he had brain cancer
and then he died like two days later.
Oh man.
Oh, you mean prior to his death?
Yeah, prior to his death.
He's like, no one knew it. And then Kurt Schilling out of them. And then Jason Ver prior to his death. Yeah, prior to his death. He's like no one knew it and then
curchilling out at him and then Jason Veritex's wife was like fuck you you piece it like she was
basically like fuck you you asshole. Wow, which is he's such a piece of shit. It stole money from
Rhode Island. Yeah, it was a hero. I mean, Rhode Island's got money to steal. this is just buddy Cianci's, why not?
To someone I want to ask you while we're in the realm of movies and entertainment.
I know you're a movie buff, we're talking movies yesterday, do you like a horror film?
I am not a horror fan.
Interest.
I feel like horror is one of those things that takes hold either when you're young or it doesn't.
Sure.
And for me, it didn't.
I mean, I watched them all, you know, especially like the ones that are like the Ariaster movies
or the, you know, but I don't go in for like the none too.
Sure.
You know, or Patrick Wilson.
Conjuring, yes. Yes, yes. Conjuring, right?
Yes, I don't, or the dolls that come, and none of it.
I'm not a big horror person.
I think I'm probably closer to you than I am to Mitch
because Mitch is like a big time horror guy.
And loves the horror franchises.
And like, yeah, I'll see the art house horror now.
I've seen a lot of them, but I mean,
I've seen a lot of the classics,
but like there are a lot of blind spots and I mean, and I've seen a lot of the classics, but there are a lot of blind spots,
and I have, and I also feel like it's like,
horror is such a deep dive genre
that the people are into it, are really, really into it.
Yeah. Oh no, and it has such a long history.
Right. There's so many different tributaries
to get into if you want to.
And that's, I don't have enough of the desire.
Batman's about to eat an orange.
Yes.
If you, if you're creeping on and you're,
you're looking for jumping on point for the video feed,
Batman eats an orange.
Let's just be quiet while he does it.
It's a tangelo. It's a tangelo.
It's, is it from Boston?
Is it a d'Angelo or tangelo?
Yeah.
You, I mean, the Batman would have to pack some snacks, right?
So I think that you, as never really talked about the candidates,
but it's in the utility belt.
Yeah, I'm sure he's got an unorgin there somewhere.
Start repelling a granola bar.
A tangelo. Okay, let me ask you this. The inside of the mask is wet. Yeah, I'm sure he's got an unorgin there somewhere repellent right a granola box
Okay, let me ask you the mask the inside of the mask is wet. You don't have to hold Yeah, okay, all right, it's gonna go up for I'll try to pull it down. It's fine
I have this this question for you about horror movies does having the name Jason
Afector Halloween in anyone when I was was a kid, absolutely. Because when I was a kid,
that's when those movies were singular.
Like the Jason movies and then Freddie
and it was really Jason, Freddie and Michael Myers were.
Right, right.
And everybody dressed as those characters or whatever.
So having the name Jason was synonymous with
like the most prolific horror killer of the moment.
Wow.
So, yeah, it was, it was crazy.
But it was also like, people would just want to like tease you with it.
Yeah, it wasn't cool in any way.
It was, it was there to be seized upon by Boston bullies and used to deride or, or take
you apart in some way, shape, or form.
Did you ever reclaim it and go as Jason?
Never.
Wow.
I've even thought so.
No, I never did.
It's so funny.
I never even thought about it.
Yeah.
I went, I almost always like I went as like Luke Skywalker.
I went as Darth Vader.
It was all that kind of stuff.
I just wasn't into horror enough to engage with it on that level.
Although I should have, because boy would that have been great.
I guess that's the fun of Halloween is like,
you don't have to be a horror guy,
you can just dress up as like a crayon or something.
You can put whatever the fuck you want.
Oh yeah.
Be Santa if you want, why not?
I was just thinking like, we need to like,
they need to make modern horror movies with a slasher,
you know, like modern like Ezra, or I'm trying to think of like names that are, you know, like modern, like Ezra,
or I'm trying to think of like names that are,
I'm saying like modern baby names.
Oh, you need to, like a baby needs to be called,
like Mason or something.
There needs to be like a murderer called Holden.
Yes.
I know, that's right.
That's right.
I know several braidins who are younger.
Yeah, yeah.
They gotta update it, right?
We need new slasers.
Yeah, yeah, we need, yes, iconic, you know,
murderous psychopaths that are, yeah,
named like a modern, normal, yeah,
Finn, yes, great one.
Yeah, Finn, wow, they haven't,
I just, it makes you think of the,
there's like a modern serial killer named like Liam
or something and they're like,
oh, it's gotta be a young person.
There's like, wait, no, it's a really old guy.
Back when that name was first guy.
Yeah, it's a cool Irish guy.
Yeah, it's a cool Irish guy.
Yeah, it's a cool Irish guy.
Yeah, it's a cool Irish guy.
Yeah, it's a cool Irish guy.
Yeah, it's a cool Irish guy.
Yeah, it's a cool Irish guy.
Yeah, it's a cool Irish guy.
Yeah, it's a cool Irish guy.
Yeah, it's a cool Irish guy.
Yeah, it's a cool Irish guy.
Yeah, it's a cool Irish guy.
Yeah, it's a cool Irish guy.
Yeah, it's a cool Irish guy. Yeah, it's a cool Irish guy. Yeah, it's a cool Irish guy. Yeah, it's a cool Irish guy. God damn. That's fun. That is fun. I guess that just shows what a boom,
the 80s and 70s and A's were for the slasher's.
They haven't been, you know, those face that is,
you know, it's 30 years old.
You also don't hear that many.
Like you don't, I don't hear of young,
of people naming their children now, Jason.
You know, like Jason is also a name that is kind of obsolete now,
or just kind of slipped out of favor, I guess.
The same way, I guess there aren't that many
Freddy's to begin with.
And still even in culture now, there's so few leather faces.
You know, you don't.
How many?
That was my parents' second choice.
Yeah, right.
That's what I said, he's got a kid named leather face.
Not recently.
There goes Amila wearing a clown nose.
Amila's been wearing that clown nose for at least an hour.
Amila is hopped up today.
I came into the room and she did was doing crazy eights.
Yeah.
And then she did it again wearing this clown nose.
She was building that energy for the show.
She certainly, which we didn't take part in,
which you can kind of tell.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I'm really in here,
twice doing crazy hates to get the energy up.
The two people in costume come moping into the room. Ha we have. All right. But, but yeah, you-
Is it Heathcliff?
It's not Heathcliff.
And we could deconstruct some more Heathcliff.
So we want.
Um, uh, the, uh, you and I were both in the Boy Scouts of America.
Yes.
And I'm curious like, what was your Boy Scout experience?
Was it positive overall?
Do you have good memories attached?
I do.
Yeah.
It was for the most part positive.
Um, I grew up in a very small town with not a lot of kids.
Got it.
And so it actually was pretty huge for me just because it gave me an opportunity to like
be around other kids and socializing, do activities and stuff, which I didn't do a lot
of, especially in my younger years.
So what was going on in the hot?
Why was there no?
Not a lot of it.
It's a one square mile town. So it's population wise, like very small. And not a ton of young kids.
Okay. It's just Mitch. Mitch, the very juicy orange ice.
I'm gonna, please watch the video of this. Mitch asks a question and then,
floppally eats a tangelo dressed as Batman.
What the fuck is this?
The fact that you know you're being recorded on video
and are still attempting this is why,
your hands must be so sticky.
I'm covered in tangelo juice.
It's like, this is a nightmare. I fucked up in tangelo juice. This is a nightmare.
I fucked up quite a bit here.
Do you need a napkin?
No, no, no, it's okay.
I'm just...
Oh, do you want a wet wipe?
Oh, is there a...
Oh, yes, please.
This is...
A very handy thing that we...
We noticed during our lunch with Zeus
is having a wet wipe on hand.
This was...
This was huge.
Incredibly clever thing to have in this day and age.
Always, always. Yeah. Here you go. I used to. Thank you. This was this was huge incredibly incredibly clever thing to have in this day and age always always yeah
Here you go. I used to thank you. It's a good it's a good
It's like there's a bear in the room
I'm getting into it. I've read a thing about bears. They eat salmon. You know raw sure not cook
They eat salmon. You know, raw. I like that you had to amend your statement to make
sure we know they eat them raw. So they eat them raw. Well, like sushi grade. It all stem from
like it all stem from a tweet about a woman doing like like either on Instagram or whatever was
she's like, I'm going to do like a bagel of locks,
but she was cutting raw salmon and cutting it
on her bagel, not knowing that that's not locks.
Like she just thought that locks were.
Oh, just like grocery store salmon would be like,
a smoked salmon, yeah.
And then there was a lot of things people being like,
there's worms in salmon.
So there was like this big thing about how there's worms
in salmon.
And then there was a thing about bears.
And bears will have like worms hanging out of their ass.
Yeah, that's interesting.
Because they eat salmon.
Right, sure.
Oh yeah.
Which I did not know about that.
Oh no, I remember talking to someone who realized they had a tapeworm because they took
a shit and there was like a tail hanging out of
their asshole.
Oh my God.
Which was a piece, not a tail literally, but like the end of the worm.
It had gotten big enough to travel through his intestines and have a little bit hanging
out.
Like fucking crazy.
What do you do to just pull at that point?
What do you, what do you, what do you do?
I think, no, I think you take poison, it kills it and you shit it out. Oh my God. It's fucking crazy. What do you do? Do you just pull at that point? What do you do?
I think, no, I think you take poison, it kills it,
and you shit it out.
Oh my God.
Because I think if you pull, it can split,
and then multiply.
Because it's, oh my God.
It's latched onto you,
because it's feeding off of what you eat,
and it gets bigger.
It comes in your body tiny,
and gets bigger and bigger and bigger,
as you eat, it eats,
and it gets bigger and bigger and bigger. So, you you're kind of losing weight as this. You are.
Wait a minute. Hang on a second. The joke is going to be a raw salmon. Okay.
Maybe I have a big old worm inside me.
I mean, it's just saying, I mean, inside because I from listening to this, so you don't have a big word on the other.
That is disgusting.
That's the, that's the close.
And I remember,
I'm like, this is driving to me.
And I can't, I can't imagine is the truth.
Although, I'm sure the fans will let us know.
I just want to say that for a warm,
I think it would be a pretty great life.
For, no, I'm saying the thing on the outside of me for warm, I think it would be pretty good for warm.
Yes, I think, you know, I'm like, you know, I'm pretty good.
You should tell dates.
That's just to tell dates.
Just want you to know you're about to be pretty pleased if what you're expecting is a war.
He's that what you do, you take off all your clothes, it's like time to cut, mate. But I remember this guy telling me about the tapeworm, the same person.
I don't think this is true true or maybe this is some old thing
but that they would put a bowl of milk in front of your mouth
and the tapeworm would come out
or they would put a bowl of something
pungent or something that the tapeworm wanted.
That's right, like oatmeal or something.
In search of, in pursuit of that,
they would grab it and pull it out of your mouth.
But I think now you just take a pill that kills it
and you shit it out.
I is what I believe is true.
I've heard like a hot towel over your head
and then there's like oatmeal or something like that.
There's something that gets the worms out.
Yeah, there's something that gets the worms out.
I say that on my dates as well.
Just so you know, there's something that gets the worms. I say that on my dates as well. Just so you know, this is something that gets the worms.
People found this podcast episode from like a web MD search.
They're like, oh, okay.
Open your mask.
All right.
Okay, what we're in this kind of disgusting territory.
Oh, yeah, good.
Sorry.
And you'd ask about Boy Scouts.
That's right. I want to get back to Boy Scouts, but I do,
I am asking this question of guests this month
in the main feed, and it's okay to take a second to think,
but what is the food that you would characterize
is the grossest that you enjoy.
Like what's the thing, you're just like,
I like to pick out on this,
and I think it's kind of disgusting.
Oh, that's a good question.
I know you don't have, I don't know.
Because I know your diet is also kind of limited.
I have pretty restricted.
But I'm trying to think of, I'm trying to think of that,
that I enjoy is like what I'm trying to,
what I'm bumping.
Yeah, you, you, you maybe have a, like I remember like,
there is a, I once, I was living in Morocco and had a meal
living in Morocco.
I did after college, I lived in Morocco for a while.
That's why.
And I ate like a sheep's head at one point, not alone, but it was being served in a situation
where I felt like it was absolutely incumbent on me to eat anything and everything that
was presented out of respect.
But everything that was given to me, I thought was disgusting.
Like a cheek fat
and eyeball and all this stuff. So that was like a wild meal, but that singular meal.
I've never had that before again or anything like that. I'm trying to think if there's
anything that I that is gross or is perceived of as gross that I just love or you know what
you do, you do all like because you because of your allergies, you do an alt version of food that maybe people would be like,
oh, that's great.
I'm trying to think what's a version, not really,
because all the stuff I can't eat,
the alt versions of it, I can't eat almost anything
for breakfast, except oatmeal, boring.
Like, bored.
Grenola and yogurt, boring.
I end up eating very boring,
not very interesting, experimental, weird.
I don't, more often than not,
I'm not adventurous as an eater.
So yeah.
I'm just going back to Boy Scouts.
Like, for me,
You're going back?
Yeah, I'm realisting.
I don't think you can.
Never got equal scout. Oh God. You're going today? Yeah, I'm realisting. I don't think you can. Never got Eagle Scout.
Oh God, you're going today?
Yeah, I'm realisting.
And sadly will not be the only one dressed as the Joker. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 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 know what's more craven and corrupt, the Boy Scouts of America or the Boston Archdiocese.
You got a Joker laugh out of them too.
Going back to Boy Scouts, one thing I remember really learning to like in Boy Scouts, because
we had a lot of like potted meats and canned meat stuff that was like shelf stable and like
powdered milk and shit, but I remember I really got into liver worst.
Like just like liver worst, that was pretty.
That's pretty.
And that's like that to me, I think sounds gross
to a lot of people, but I feel like that.
Yes, we could patays and stuff like that.
Texture wise, can feel gross.
It's a little mushy, but it's flavorful.
You know how, you know,
walking if you ain't says the business car
as it gives people?
Is yours gonna say hi buddy or something?
I'm not. I'm trying to think of what Is yours gonna say hi buddy or something?
I'm trying to think about you, yours would say.
Yeah, it'd be a hey buddy.
Why not?
Um, I got a question for you, Zooks, about the Nahant area.
Yeah, go ahead.
We talked about when you were there, you did a show,
and we were talking about a good place to get a beef.
Oh, like a roast beef sandwich.
Yes, which is, well, I. We've talked about the bar pizza.
We've talked about this little. That's right. The North Shore. We reviewed Kelly's when we're in Boston.
Yes. Yeah. Wait, did you go to review your beach kelly's? Which kelly's did you go to?
Yes. And they also were mean to it by the way. We had none even experience at Kelly's.
I believe that you could have an I think I sure. Especially at that location. Maybe. Yeah.
I feel like that look me. I don't know, no shade to Kelly's,
but has fallen off a bit?
Yeah, it's, I think that like,
I think especially like beef-affishy and I was
aren't gonna like it.
There's a, you mean the beef boys?
The beef.
You mean my podcast, the beef boys?
There is, there is like a North Shore beefs Instagram page
that then also turns like, let's go brand-a-nee.
You know what other show?
It's a real, I will say, subs are such a thing.
Subs, heroes, whatever you call grinders,
whatever you call them from wherever you are.
But in New England, and especially North Shore Boston,
just roast beef sandwiches.
Stores that are just selling a roast beef sandwich.
There is, you're not getting a turkey sandwich,
you're not getting other kinds of sandwiches,
you are getting a roast beef sandwich.
The place is called Minos roast beef.
Or whichever one you go, you go, you're a Mike's person.
Well, that was the place that I recommended
that was near the way.
No, not that way.
That's right.
Yes, near the on the on the orcasino.
Yep.
But were you eating beef when you were younger or something?
I did.
I grew up going to either kelees, the revered beach kelees,
or Minos roast beef in Marblehead.
Yeah.
Was a big one because I went to high school in Swamscot.
We were bust to Swamscot for high school,
which was the town next door to Marblehead,
which is where Minos was.
OK. So a lot of times a night, a high school, which was the town next door to Marblehead, which is where Minos was. Okay.
So a lot of times a night, a high school night would end at Minos Rose Beef getting sandwiched,
getting like two pounds of Rose Beef at like midnight shoving it into your system and then
almost getting into a fight with Marblehead kids.
Oh, wow.
Because the teams were rivals and there would always be like,
in a way that is so uniquely Boston,
everything was a fight,
everything would turn into you think you bet,
you think you bet it than me?
And what I love hearing from Mitch on the podcast,
the needlessly contrarian Boston point of view,
which is whatever you've just said,
I believe the opposite.
The least things that I myself don't even know yet,
I just know you're wrong.
That happens with Wagner quite a bit.
Oh, really?
My job.
I love that you just pulled the Batman mask down for that.
It's my, we're here to test each other.
We'll antagonize each other a little bit.
Yeah, that's the dynamic of the podcast.
Milton was our, that was Milton was our,
was your rival?
Was our, was all those Milton guys.
Quincy and Milton, yeah.
We didn't even put, like, it wasn't like a football rival.
It was just like, it was like,
well, that's when you went to public school,
not when you were fancy and went to private school.
That's, this is my great shame
is that I want to fear for you.
Oh, fair too.
Fair Academy.
And then you went to Deerfield Academy.
No, I didn't go to,
you didn't go to Deerfield Academy.
I didn't, I didn't go to any of these.
I didn't go to Pingri Mitch.
No, I didn't do any of that stuff.
I, I didn't do any of like the New England,
you know, like the, the books about like a,
a, a, a teenage kid and like the, there's
like somebody, but he's describing.
Yeah.
I think I know what he's describing, but I know you know, I think he's trying to describe
catcher in the ride.
There's a bunch of, there's a bunch of books about like New England kids going off to private
school.
Got it, sure.
Oh, it's a very New England, like kid goes to private school is very much a New England
much more so than I think here.
Oh yeah.
You know, I think also specifically like Quincy kid goes to like a, like it's always like
Quincy kid makes good.
It is it is it is
It's a relationship private school owns home with multiple staircase
It's the sort of thing I'm like it's like a kid from a city goes to the private. Yeah sure. Yeah. Not that I'm not saying Quincy
Was that crazy. Milton was the from the mean streets of Quincy
Milton was the Milton was the rich town next door to Quincy.
Quincy's very nice, but Milton was a security...
Are, and I'm curious, do you have,
and just because I've heard you talk so much about it,
and obviously I've heard you talk so much about
the Quincy gang and all the frail bots and all the guys,
are there any friends of yours from there
that are still a part of your,
do you maintain friendships with any of the private school kids,
or are the frailbots and Wu-Tang's and Danos?
They're all just Quincy guys, right?
Big Phil Dalton, I love, I love Phil Dalton.
Great guy.
He'd feel, feel like.
Like Matt Dalton?
No, he never had Dalton.
He'll, he'll, he'll, it actually some,
there are some, some their kids who have,
who've come to, John,
John, and a few other guys have come to show.
So I like that with someone.
I talk to John.
I talk to John.
I talk to John.
Yeah, there's definitely a crew of those guys that I like,
more so like interact with on Instagram.
Did you, in my town, there were summer kids?
Did you have summer kids?
The idea of,
and did you have summer kids?
Um, in Maine a little bit. Yeah. The people who are just there for the summer. Yeah. Did you have summer kids? Did you have summer kids? Oh, it's my second. Did you have summer kids?
In Maine a little bit.
Like the people who are just there for the summer.
Yeah, well, yeah.
Exactly, they were kids who either vacationed
or they went to a boarding school.
Oh, wow.
And so we're home only for the summers.
Oh, interesting.
And they were like summer kids and we fucking hated them.
I was, we didn't have any summer kids.
They're also was like kind of,
it is a private school,
but it's kind of like it, whatever,
anyone can go to there basically.
But like the real,
there's like those real,
like 100 year old buildings,
and you're there in the wintertime and it's snowing.
Like it's like, do you live on campus?
Those are like,
there's those New England private schools.
Yeah, we don't have any of that shit out here.
Everything was built.
Like the latest,
the earliest it was built was like 1920,
like all our infrastructure is like, you know, a lot newer.
But yeah, I was kind of thinking
to catch you're in the right a little bit, but.
There's other books too.
Outside Providence was a book.
Okay.
It was a movie, The Farley Brothers movie.
It was written by, I think one of The Farley Brothers.
Yeah.
But like that movie is like the idea of like,
he goes off to like a goes off to a private school.
That's how, well, the private,
like Philips and over in X-A-R,
like Tony boarding school that feel like
the school in Rushmore.
And they reflect of the author's experience.
The author went to boarding school
went to the Ivy League or something
and became a publish author.
And then he became an author.
You're gonna try to say like, I was the rebel in school.
So you became an author, you're a fucking nerd.
You're a fucking nerd.
You've become an author, you're a fucking nerd.
You're dressed as Batman.
You're just as Batman calling an author a nerd.
I kept it real.
I loved dropping into this guy,
having a wonderful conversation,
looking over at Wigz is just the joke
We speaking of beef since speaking of school it reminded me that we had
That this is the thing so so you know
Natalie and I went to the same middle school in high school. We started dating we did we didn't start dating until after college though
But we have a lot of shared history. We have a lot of the same middle school and high school, we started dating. We did, we didn't start dating until after college though, but we have a lot of shared history, we have a lot of the same,
you know, no, no, no, each other,
or was your school big enough such that you just didn't cross
that much?
We did, but we didn't, we weren't like friends,
we weren't like close, like we knew who we just was.
And this is when you were dating as you pronounce it,
Cameron Diaz.
I didn't overlap with Diaz.
I wish.
Anyway, so you, you're, you're, you're the same grade.
Yeah, we're the same age.
Anyway, so we were talking to one of our younger relatives
who's now at that school and was like,
our middle school has a beef's account.
And it's the middle school name Beefs
and it's just like kids fighting.
It's just like-
It's fighting each other?
Yeah, it's like their rival.
It's like an Instagram account.
No, it's just an Instagram account of 12 year olds
like getting in fist fights on the playground.
I was like, this is fucking intense.
This is fucking, you know what we are in a predestopia.
It really is.
We are in act one of a post-op,
but we are in a pre-apocalypse right now.
We are on the, we're tipping towards, trending towards.
We're in fear of the walking devil right now. Not the walking devil. I said to Wags, we're on the, we're tipping towards, trending towards, we're in fear of the walking dead. Like now, not the walking dead.
I said the wags that we're gonna have like,
the most boring version of an apocalypse.
We've talked about it before.
Yeah, it's a boring dystopia.
It's like, it would be so much more fun
if it was just a zombie, you know, like it was like,
yeah, yeah.
That would be more fun than like,
kind of just like, okay.
10 years are gonna be like a fucking disaster.
Yeah, but I think after that, it's actually gonna be pretty rad. Like I think kids years are gonna be like a fucking disaster. But I think after that, it's actually gonna be pretty rad.
Like I think kids that are like whatever kids now,
they're like 20s and onwards are gonna be like
effective and much better because all these fucking
80 old idiots will be gone.
Like so much of the problem is the 70 and 80 year olds,
the boomers who were like,
can just destroying everything it feels like.
Oh, see, I thought you were making the opposite point
you were actually making,
because I was like, oh yeah,
in 10 years we'll be like writing around electric motorcycles
with katanas, like fucking getting in quite a few things.
That's possible, too.
We could, yes, we could be full on Fury Road pretty soon,
which I'm like, I'm ready for.
Yeah.
But also I also, I couldn't imagine a world in which responsible people are allowed to move forward
in positions of power and change the world for the best.
I'm hoping, maybe naively.
I love that.
Batman and Jugger said, God bless the boomers.
Yeah.
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
It just raised the cape. We'll take a break. We'll be back with Ordo boys. Yeah. Oh boy.
It's just raised the cape.
We'll take a break.
We'll be back with Ordo boys.

Welcome back to Doleboys. We're here with Zooks talking Zanku. By the way, your last name,
Mansukus, you can't spell without Zanku. You know what?
Is that wild?
I have only just noticed it since you pointed it out.
That's amazing.
Yeah, how about that?
No wonder I love this place so much.
Five forks.
Zanku chicken.
I'm gonna give a little bit of extra context.
Zanku with Zooks also just has, that has, when we're in the doughboys, when you know,
when we're in the brainstorming, the doughboys episodes, Zanku was Zooks is like,
that has a nice frog.
Make a T-shirt.
That's, can, can, can chip, can,
can chip goods?
Can chip goods, the,
the Zanku style yellow T-shirt,
but it's my name.
But it's your name.
That's really good.
That's, that's good.
Shit, that's really good.
Yeah, sells better than all of our other merch.
Zankusis? Yeah, I can't think, are they, they're, there's really good. Yeah, it sells better than all of our other merch. Zankooses?
I can't think of any of these, there's something here.
We'll punch it up.
And also, as we know, it's good to mess with the Zanko family.
Oh boy, oh boy.
So we are doing this for the spookiest of months, in part because of the true crime that
is related to this chain, which I'll get to in a second.
But let me give a little bit of extra context here, because there's a lot going on with Zanku.
So basically what happens is Zanku was founded originally
in Lebanon in the 60s by Armenian immigrants in Lebanon.
They eventually end up fleeing Lebanon
and immigrating to the United States.
I don't know if they were actually fleeing,
but that seemed to be some implications
of the Canadian and other.
Yeah, and they come to the United States.
And in 1983, Maridero's iscundarian, who is the son of the founder, to be some implication. I love that. I love that. I can't even get out of there. Yeah.
And they come to the United States.
And in 1983, Maridero's Iscendarian, who is the son of the founder, his mother Margaret,
created the famous garlic paste and the bulk of the menu.
The son of the founder makes his, this Los Angeles outlet.
That's the one we dined at yesterday.
It's in little Armenian sunset in the morning.
Oh, that's you.
Geez.
You lowered the mask to sleep. To sleep. To sleep. Into the mask.
This is fascinating.
But this I guarantee is going to be the most watched
episode on YouTube ever. So much happens visually. Holy
cow, are you okay? I'm good, I'm sorry.
I thought that that would be helpful
if the mass was lowered.
So I lowered it quickly.
I didn't know what to do.
I'm terrified to look at the inside of the mass. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Okay, okay. Was it just a sneeze or was that it was that tangelo? I think that was I think I think it was tangelo. It was a very it was a very citrusy sneeze.
So Zanku is mostly known for its art history chicken and the aforementioned garlic sauce,
but it has a full Mediterranean menu. There are about 12 to 15 locations depending on how you count
them because there's a skism is to start with one and move forward fair. Yeah.
because there's a skism in the start with one and move forward fair yeah. There was so here's what there's a skism in the brand in 1991 most of the locations were
owned by Maridero's the son of the founder who made it found the L.A. location while
the original location that he started was still owned by his parents and sister and another
location in 2003 this is the the true crime incident that happens that is called the Zanku Chicken
murders.
There's a great 2008 Los Angeles magazine piece on this that I read the details of the
story.
Yeah.
Maridero's, who was in the late stages of brain and colon cancer, only 56 years old at
the time, very young.
He had kind of like his, the suspicion is that his brain had kind of been ravaged by
disease.
He drove over to his mother and sister's house,
shot and killed them both and then killed himself.
And that has exacerbated the ongoing brand split
because now it's like a thing of like the next generation
owns it and like your dad killed my mom
and there's the whole horrific dark thing
that's going on there.
Here, I do wanna read one quote from this.
I do wanna true crime podcast dress to the Joker.
Also, if it really is, it's chilling to watch you now
describe a murder's dress.
It's one thing to just bullshit her out.
This is really upsetting.
This is like watching like what's like the creature,
creature double feature or the host
of the monster.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, whoever El Viro or who was the guy who was the, I know you're talking about.
I know you're talking about it.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
It's a bit price.
No, but yeah, that style.
You should do this all the time.
This is a thing that I think is like, a lot of our listeners are younger
and have no context for what you're describing.
But like, yeah, there used to be a time
when there'd be like an old,
a horror movie staring in syndication.
You wouldn't have gone for you as one of them.
One of them was Paul Thomas Anderson's father.
Yeah, really?
In the LA area, Paul Thomas Anderson's father
was the Svengli, or it wasn't, that's one of them.
Yeah. I don't think that's what he
was. There was a Zachary Lee. There was a bunch of like you're talking about how to mustache, right?
Maybe. Yeah. I don't quite remember. But yeah, maybe like a mad professor character.
Yeah. Someone come on and do like a character to introduce the to do the back end and the
virus. I was moving the version of it, which I yeah. And then there was USA up all night,
which is his own thing, which, channel 56 in Boston would have
Creature Double Feature every Saturday,
and it would be like a Godzilla movie
with like a creature from the Black Lagoon,
or- So I saw the stuff from the first time.
All black and white, those were the scary movies I watched.
You know, they were like the Universal Monster movies,
all that kind of stuff.
Were just what was on TV,
because I grew up pre-cable,
so I didn't have access to all that stuff.
So I watched whatever was there.
Right, I remember those were the pre-cable days.
Oh yeah, 25, 56, 38.
Yep, those were our backpacks.
You had to remember your channel numbers.
We've done this on the podcast before,
but yeah, what do you do, people's numbers?
I think it's hashtag show us your number.
Show us your number. I think it's hashtag show us your number. Show us your number.
I think it's real.
Show us those numbers.
Oh, yeah.
Channel 38, channel 56 and 20.
They were all where you watched reruns.
That's where syndication was.
Like I would come home from school and that's where you watch the Brady Bunch or Mash or
LeVern and Shirley.
Happy days.
They were all on like channel 38, I think we're, And then 56 had like leave it to beaver,
and like weird, I love Lucy.
Yeah.
Like I watched so much TV from the 50s and 60s.
That's what it was.
That would be too.
Green acres and everything like I watched.
I was just afraid.
Yeah, I would watch like the Andy Griffith show.
Yeah.
And it's wild to think that the equivalent of that now
is like a 12 year old watching the office.
Yes.
It's like that, the same span of time basically.
Well, sure, but also weird.
And that is, but also I think it's even like an 86
or something, if I was watching Mr. Ed,
it would be like someone watching like a 90s,
like which they don't.
Right, I'm saying like they little kids
don't watch Frazier anymore, right?
Well, the other version of it, to me that always blows my mind
is like when I was a kid to listen to what was oldies like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones was only 12
to 15 years in the past versus like currently never mind or in iconic album from my childhood
is now 30 plus years old. That's chilling. That is chilling. I mean, we could just do the
rest of the show all about how the patterns are traffic.
It is to age.
Cause I hear you guys talking about it
as people who are and have turned 40
and having just turned 50, this ship is not cool.
Hahaha.
Hahaha.
As Ovaro said up top, what's scarier than the passage of time
is roast.
It's true.
Okay. So I was gonna say, I just a second ago, I said,
young kids aren't watching Frazier anymore,
which seems insane.
I don't know if young kids were watching Frazier back in the day.
Maybe the new reboot of Frazier will hook them.
I will say, I watch Frazier all the time.
I love Frazier.
Frazier, yeah.
Incredibly, one of the best written sitcoms,
strongest writing, anyway, love it.
You just pulled out a big hair.
I had a hair in my mouth, it was stuck to my makeup,
and I was like, this is nothing that Joker must deal with.
Oh yeah, like a hair in his mouth.
The flight of the Joker.
Yeah.
Poor guy.
I know.
I, look, I just gotta say, this is like sticking to my neck.
Can't take it off.
I gotta, I think I gotta take the,
I gotta at least take this.
The cape is also the part of the,
it's just struggling with the cape that is not visible.
No, not visible even on camera.
If you were to look right now,
you can't see that you would be like,
oh, whoa, he's wearing a cape.
Why, I'm like, all right, good.
Yeah, make yourself comfortable as well.
Yeah, you look fine.
I mean, your Batman symbol is a piece of cardboard
with a Bat logo,vetron and marker.
I'm so mad.
Nobody let me know.
I would have come secretly dressed as like Robin. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha really implore everybody to read, link it in the notes. It's a great article. It's a great story, but I want to read this quote.
Also, I was supposed to bring black pants
and I'm wearing jeans as Batman.
I just, I really, you look good
and I feel like I fucked this up.
Eight, there was a little bit of,
we didn't know what pieces were part of the costumes.
And so, you know, I aired on the side of bringing
too much stuff and I think you brought a black t-shirt.
It almost, it's only, it's almost a t-shirt.
I'm really a brought a black t-shirt for It almost, it's only. It's almost a t-shirt.
It's only a real, you brought a black t-shirt for me.
It almost is if one of you takes this show more serious
than the other.
And I ask, why so serious?
It's a weird, row reversal.
Here's the quote.
This is from Rita Eskondarian, Maridero's
is widow in the story by Mark Erachs.
Before we married, he told me,
I'm going to live with my parents my whole life.
I will never leave my mother.
I figured this was my pocked or fate.
But it was too much.
My mother, my mother, she was the queen of the house,
not me.
Next to God, it was his mother.
Wow.
Tens.
Mommy.
Yeah. I can relate to this. Who's just going to say? Next to God, it was his mother. Wow. Tens. Mommy.
Yeah.
I can relate to this.
Who's just gonna say?
Uh-uh.
So all that said, are you guys still together?
Yes, we're still mother and son.
Cool.
Cool.
That's great.
All that said, the food at this place,
and I, you know, I think that everyone who has had both
will say that the original occasion is a little bit better
than the version that's been franchised,
but they are both fucking great.
I think this is one of the real,
that the true LA chains,
one of the real LA institutions,
one that locals, all classes,
cuts across class lines,
I love to eat at Zanku chicken,
and, you know, a foodies
love it and people don't think about food as anything except like the cheapest meal
they can get, love Zanku chicken.
I go frequently and I was very excited to return to it.
And Zook's, given that you can't eat eggs, this is a place where a lot of the menu is very
safe, very available.
Very safe for me.
So, and so Zanku, for me, is an LA institution.
Yeah.
From when I used to come here for just pilot seasons
and was, you know, like sleeping in like bizarre,
like, you know, a random old woman's apartment
like that she still lived in.
And I just had like an empty room
with a air mattress that I lived in for three months.
Right.
All that kind of stuff.
It was always go to Zanku at Normandy,
and it was cheap and it was good,
and it was healthy-ish.
There's an, you know, you're eating something
that is filling and delicious,
but isn't bad for you.
And that is huge to me,
because I don't wanna feel disgusting, you know.
And so, and Zanku is, for the most part, safe.
If there is egg in a thing at Zanku, it's obvious.
Right.
It's not sneaky, there's not like a complexity
of ingredients or anything like that.
It's pretty simple.
A lot of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern food
is pretty safe for me.
So this place is dynamite and I was thrilled we got to do it.
So one of my favorite LA spots.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
And that includes the bread, right?
Because bread,
every oftentimes has added eggs,
but this kind of bread.
Flap bread, pita bread,
flat bread, anything like that,
almost never has eggs,
because it doesn't need the binding characteristic
that egg provides.
You know, eggs hold breads together,
you know, and if you're just doing a flat bread,
you don't need that. So I can almost always eat, you know, a p breads together, you know, and if you're just doing a flatbread, you don't need that.
So I can almost always eat, you know,
a pita bread or something, a lavash, similar.
Wow.
I love this place.
I took my mom, dad and sister here back in the day,
and my mom and sister still give me shit about it
because they like thought it was like a divey.
And they're like, what, Like Massachusetts people never had even seen
chicken schwarma before.
And for context for people who haven't been to this,
it's like, it feels like a fast food restaurant inside.
So it's like, it looks a lot better than to even use
to look really pretty tricky.
And some of the locations still are kind of a little bit,
you know, not the nicest interior.
And if you're gonna be like,
hey, my family's in town,
I'm gonna take them out to eat some place
and take them to a fast food restaurant.
They might justifiably be a little bit confused.
The food is fantastic.
Oh, they were like, what the fuck is this?
Yeah, that sort of, that sort of deal.
But I mean, they were super mad at you.
They were kind of, they were like,
they make a joke about it till this day.
I'm like, wow.
You took us to that crazy play.
And I'm like, this is an institution.
You guys have no idea.
It's so funny.
Yeah.
My dad enjoyed it.
And my dad was like the only one who was good.
That's not what killed him.
It wasn't shame that you brought him to Zanku.
This is the thing.
This is the thing. The other one online, you can't make jokes about,
but when you're a master and you're good at it,
you can do it.
I really, I sat on it for like 30 seconds.
That up for 30 seconds.
I had it fully ready to go.
And I was like, this is mean.
This could go badly.
It is, I think it is what killed me.
So he's like, he brought me to rotisserie chicken.
Goodbye, world.
He, I mean, I don't know how adventurous my dad was
as far as food, but I don't, I think he would be,
you know, he would try anything.
Well, and it's also because we think of,
I think of a lot of people think of Mediterranean food
as kind of like, oh, it's everywhere.
It's a very common thing, but when this was founded in 1982,
they founded it because there was a void in the market.
Like as much of a, of a, you know, a Middle Eastern
and Mediterranean immigrant population
as there was in Los Angeles at the time,
there weren't a lot of Mediterranean restaurants.
And so it was a, there was a time when it was a newer thing.
But and also you make a good point of that, like I think people think of like shish kashikabab
rice and maybe hummus.
And like if you're like getting a plate that's, that's, that's chicken shwama and pickled
beets and tahini, there, it's just stuff that they had and tried.
So they were like, they, they thought was strange.
Sure, yeah, not strange.
And especially I will say, even though I'd had maybe some of those like a suvelacier things
that also trend Greek, because I had a lot of that stuff in Greek, there wasn't the,
what's, what I always have at Zanku and what I think is truly their standout thing is
the rotisserie chicken.
So.
And that is something that I had just not had
until I came on that level, until it was Zanku.
You know, there was Boston market,
there was stuff like that, but that wasn't
at all what Zanku's doing.
No, rotisserie chicken for me was always like,
like, okay, what's the cheapest version I can get?
Very often that was like just from the grocery store.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, or like, you know,
and I think Boston Market does a good job,
but the calm down, Mitch. But. I, I, Boston's strong and I think Boston Market does a good job, but the calm down Mitch, but.
I, I, Boston Strong, I do think that.
But Zanku is like at such a,
and it's such a like a higher level,
it's such a better, it's just so much like the technique
of making this rotisserie chicken.
Even it's a very simple preparation,
it's just, as far as I can tell,
it's just dusted with salt and slow roasted,
but it's just executed so well.
Here's the best version of it.
I should have got my mom and sister rotisserie chicken.
I got trauma and I told them all to get trauma
or the Tarno plate, just Tarno plate.
And that to me was like, that's why you went to Zanku
and then yesterday I was saying,
I don't know if I'd ever had the rotisserie.
Which is wild.
This blue wager and I mine, because that is the,
literally yesterday was the only time I've had the Tarna,
because when I was,
when I was off, somebody brought me to Zanku,
I think for the first time,
and was like, it's the chicken.
That's, get that, and only that.
And the rest of it's all great,
but that rotisserie chicken is dynamite.
It's so good.
And the Northeast, I think forever,
Mediterranean food, equal to Greek food.
I think you're 100% that's what it was.
You absolutely was. And this is, it's different. I, Mediterranean food equal to Greek food. I think you're 100% that's what it was. Yeah, absolutely.
And this is, it's different.
I mean, it's not Greek food.
I mean, it's different.
No, no, it's different.
The spices are different.
The preparation is a little different.
It is different.
But yeah, I think for us growing up,
that are like the only access we had to those kind of dishes
was Greek or Turkish or something like that.
But mostly a lot, especially in New England,
Greek families opened pizza places, sandwich shops.
That's what I was just saying.
Even when you get Greek food, it's like,
you're getting like a Greek salad and pizza.
Exactly.
And like a year old seems like,
like, oh, that's like a, that's really different.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I don't know if I can even try that.
But like, for, I loved it.
I loved Zaku the first time I tried it.
Yeah.
I've, I've forever loved it. Everybody does. I don't first time I tried it. I forever have loved it.
Everybody does.
I don't know that I've ever met somebody
who's like a Zanku skeptic even.
I think if you were a vegetarian maybe,
because really all you can get is the falafel,
but like if you eat meat or even if you don't eat red meat,
I mean, you just eat chicken,
it's like the best chicken you can get.
It's generally a kindery in there one time.
Well, that's cool.
Incredible.
What a sighting. Well, first and piece, Bulk I'm absolutely in there one time. Well, that's incredible. What a sighting.
Well, first and piece, Buck Henry,
but he was in there, I think I was with Koalik
and we both saw Buck Henry.
But Wallik.
I think I saw it.
Is that Buck Henry?
I think that's when Buck Henry decided to die.
He's like, who is that Koalik?
I'm out.
Bye, cruel world.
So, so the, it, basically whatever protein you're getting, most likely chicken, but they
have a bunch of options is coming as part of a plate that served with hummus tomatoes,
garlic spread, which is so garlicky and it's the reason a lot of people go there.
And it's so delicious, but you're definitely paying for it breathwise.
What they call pickles, but it's actually, yes, mostly pickled beets
with a few hot peppers, yellow peppers,
and then there is also some pita bread.
And that's just a meal in and of itself.
I mean, it's such a-
And you can substitute for those things.
Right.
You know, a cucumber salad.
Like, there's a bunch of different sides
that you can build your plate with,
which are great.
And everything you're getting,
component-wise is delicious.
But then you can also, using the PETA bread,
create little sandwiches for yourself.
Yeah. Why not?
That's what I create the tiny sandwich.
That's the fun of-
It is fun.
But I got the chicken timer plate,
cause I think it comes with two P to,
two P to fries.
This is what I do.
Sometimes now, especially if you go to the non original
location, cause forever I was like,
there's no rice.
They give you a ton of chicken tarna,
and then it was the pickled beets,
and then tomatoes, and then.
Can we just pause real quick?
Cause tarna, and I didn't realize this is actually
a registered trademark of Zanku.
So people might not know what Tarna is.
It's basically like chicken on a spit.
It's like chicken shwarma, yeah.
Which I believe that, I don't know.
I mean, maybe they always just call it Tarna,
but I thought it was chicken shwarma at one point,
but probably wrong.
But it's the chicken shwarma, Tarna,
the pickled beets, tomatoes, and then tahini, and then hummus.
That's how the plate usually used to come
and then a side of garlic sauce
and then two pieces of breeda, pita bread,
I said called it breeda, two pieces of pita bread,
and then you would put the chicken Tarna, the hummus,
every component of it in there,
and you make a little, you make sandwich.
It's fantastic.
Now, if they do have rice, you know.
They do have, if you get any of the kabobs and stuff,
they give you rice and roasted tomato,
which is another big thing, is the roasted tomatoes.
It's kabob, the most fun food word to say.
It's kabob.
It's very fun.
Kabob.
It's very, very fun.
Kabob.
By the way, I mean, it's full of very fun. Kabaab. Kabaab.
By the way, I mean, it's full of those hilarious, hard, hard, hard consonants.
Yeah.
So that makes it so fun.
Yeah.
Look, I gotta say this.
Kabaab.
Amelia just said, don't read until after the record.
She texted me this.
Okay.
Okay, let's get into it.
I locked my keys in the studio like an idiot, so I'm chilling at La Colombe.
Oh, okay.
Just let me know when the record is over. I said,
no, I said, I'll text on you now. Send, ask her to send a picture of herself wearing the red
nose in Locke Lomb. Hold on. That's too accommodating. Oh, that's very sweet, but no, she should
we can sense it. It is consistently shocking to me that the people who work for this show respect you.
Ask him what you think.
Define respect.
Pay my bill.
Am I an in person in the studio for the first time?
Yeah.
Am I, have we ever met even in person?
I don't know.
I feel like we have, but.
I think you dropped off French fries at my house.
I did, I dropped off a bunch of frozen french fries
in your driveway there.
You did me.
You did me.
You did me.
That's what I was.
Stupid, sorry, Emma.
That sucks.
I'm gonna have to add Emma to a list of people
who know where my house is. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, into my head, couldn't tell you. Okay, so I got a quarter dark plate.
I usually get the half plate, but we get with the half chicken plate, which is a substantial
meal, but we got a half rotisserie chicken for the table to also share.
We were a little buck wild.
We were a little buck wild.
And I will say I drove a lot of that.
Yeah, it's totally fine.
I worked out my persistent effort to bankrupt the doughboys. And nothing is going to waste.
So we had the, we also got a combo chicken.
I brought the leftovers here today.
We had a lot of leftovers.
Yeah.
I said, I'm not gonna eat this.
And you said, I will eat it.
Yeah.
But you were going on the bus.
Right.
And I was a hot day.
I felt terrible that you had come all the way from the west side on a bus.
Oh, it's fine.
Just the chicken with us.
Did you drive today?
Are you going back on the bus?
I did drive today.
I did drive today because I had to bring about just that.
The idea of the Joker being on a bus
carrying two big bags of tankoos
is like, is honestly a short film
that I would like to go to Sundance.
All right, here we go.
It's just like Joker's day off.
Are you still wearing the red nose?
Yes, send a pick. And then this is Are you still wearing the red nose? Yes.
Send a pick.
And then this is, she's wearing the red nose at lunch.
Amazing.
Incredible.
And she is.
And she's having a coffee in a hipster coffee shop in silver,
in silver like wearing a red cloud nose.
I love it.
I wonder, well, people bat an eye at that or no.
No, not at all.
Not in care.
We got to, we got to figure out this Sunday,
it's movie. I think we do need to film this somehow. Just, not at all. I don't care. We gotta figure out this Sunday at Smoothie.
I think we do need to film this somehow.
I know that you're done with acting, but.
We'll figure something out.
Okay, so we had.
This would be, how, like this I feel like,
if this was, I don't know, eight years ago,
this would be the beginning of like a series
of funnier dive videos.
100%.
That were like a bunch of cheap,
direct-to-camera funnier dive videos. 4,000 views, all right of cheap, direct-to-camera, funnier dive videos.
4,000 views, all right.
Yeah, hey, doing pretty good.
Just amiable Joker.
Yeah.
Hey, buddy.
Those, those, those, those Joker videos, they, they, they, total, you got like a 22,000 views
over seven videos.
Yeah.
How much did you spend on that?
A quarter of a million dollars.
Yeah. Okay. And how much did you spend on that? A quarter of a million dollars. Okay.
And how much did you make? 150. Yeah.
Okay. So and end like a case of water bottle. One. Yeah. Yeah. Did you take from setting the day I got free Jersey Mike's lunch once. So okay. So classic funnier dive boondoggle.
Every 15 minutes, one of you is going to come in and do a bit with this bowling ball.
We have crudite outside.
And this is for Halliburton.
It's a brand new spot.
Okay.
Okay, so...
This is a birthday video card for dick chain. So, um, they claimed their garlic sauce as egg free. They, at
least they didn't in person, but this was the first time they've ever told me that because
they every other time I've been and mentioned my allergy, they said, don't have this.
This is the thing. I think you and you were right to be suspect about it because-
There's a real spot.
Because that's the other thing.
Maybe it's a different recipe versus the other location.
I only go to that one.
So you only go to that one.
Well, I've tried the other ones.
I just don't think there is good.
But either way, it's a secret recipe.
It's one of those things where they've disclosed the ingredients on a retail version of the
sauce, but who knows if that's the same version of the sauce that's in stores. So I don't know if it actually has eggs or not. I will say that
it is delicious, but you just have to decide. You have to take that devil's bargain. Do I want
to have horrible breath for that? I got to look into it, but I was shocked when they said that,
yesterday, because I've never had the garlic sauce and have always been told not to eat it.
Yeah. Zanco's also, I will say, I use it as a good delivery option
because it travels well.
Yeah.
As long as you're not getting things
that get soggy fries and so forth,
like it arrives great, still warm and good.
And if you want, pop it in the, whatever,
oven, air fryer, whatever you've got,
and it's dynamite.
Yeah.
Which I think it might heat up well tonight.
Wags for you, you're taking the left over so.
That's right.
Oh yeah.
I don't know if you're gonna have it after,
well, maybe you will, I don't know.
I probably won't have it tonight.
Tomorrow.
Yeah, a lot of some couple days in the fridge.
I'm definitely gonna have it.
Amelia's here.
Now, I was asking this,
but do you think anyone even bat it
and I at her having a clown nose on?
So let's get her in here and ask.
I wanna know what her experience at La Colombo is.
I was saying prior to the show and I will say now as well,
on Mike Amelia, home run addition to the Doe Boy's extended universe.
He's insane.
I could have listened to her talk about burning man for hours longer.
And and her consistent efforts to demolish the toilets here at
a
Wagger is trying to spill almost as if he wants to.
This is very jokerish.
Okay, so she's coming and she's wandering.
So the I was scooching over to make room for Amelia
for people on the audio feed.
We'll see if she wants to come in here.
So okay, so I'll say this.
I have my normal order that I basically never deviate from.
I have had the chicken tarna before
and I have had the shawarma before,
but I've always just come back to the rotisserie chicken.
And based on this experience in Sioux,
I think you feel the same way.
Amelia is walking in.
Still wearing the red nose.
The red nose.
Incredible stuff, Amelia.
I love everything we had,
but I still have no reason
to not get the rotisserie chicken.
Thank you.
Because it just always hits.
If someone else had it,
or like we did get something for the table,
I would snack on the other stuff,
but always rotisserie chicken.
Amelia, did you have the red nose on
for the entirety of your time in Locollomom or did you only put it on when we
asked? I don't, I only put it on when you asked. Okay. Now would anyone react? No. No,
I don't think anyone noticed I just took a quick pick. And they took it off again. No,
I kept it on after that. But I really did feel like a clown after I left the keys.
The second I walked out, realized I left the keys
inside the building and I was gonna be locked out
until the end of the record.
And I didn't wanna be disruptive.
You can always interrupt this shit.
Any time, I said to the guys,
it is consistently shocking to me
that the people that under their employee respect them
and the show
I can't believe that you were not gonna come until after the show was over I didn't well this is like this is like the most disruptive version of what I had in my head
What happened really sitting being on mic wearing the red nose?
Feeling focused completely Amelia I
Put a disclaimer at the top of a text,
the Mitch that said, do not read until after the war.
Oh, he read it on it.
Oh, good.
Oh, good.
Oh, good.
Oh, good.
Well, I was trying to avoid it, you know, chaos,
but I guess it just,
you're trying to avoid chaos,
but he's sitting next to the joke, you know.
And my thing, you're, you look look like you are like a Joker's minion.
You do.
You look like you're part of the clown, the clown posse
that goes to the Joker.
The Joker game.
I don't know if I want to be a part of this posse.
I think that I, I think I don't know
if we tell you this beforehand, but we're talking about,
we'll talk about this on a future episode.
But when we hired you, I don't know if we both knew
how out of your mind you were.
Yeah, we were like, you seem capable
and you seem like very focused and.
We like that you did it the rest of it.
We like that you did it the show.
We like that you didn't know the show.
You didn't know the show that was like huge for us.
Oh, didn't know the show is different
than didn't like the show.
Didn't know the show.
Didn't know the show.
Didn't know that you were like,
well now.
I've listened, I don't care for it. No, I don't care for it.
Well, you're a big deli boys fan, right?
Oh, yeah.
I am.
Like I'm quite a bit.
No, we didn't know you were out of your mind,
which is its own thing.
But it's great.
As you're wearing.
That's a pretty good one.
Let me ask you this. I did. Thank you for stopping in. Do you have any opinions on
Zayku chicken? Um, we used to get it for lunch a lot. I will say the garlic sauce makes your
bread smell for like three weeks afterwards. Yes, 100%. So just be careful if you're having
that garlic, the garlic cream. Yeah. It stays with you. having that garlic the garlic cream. Yeah
It stays with you. Yeah, you might want to yeah, so vis-a-vis kissing it can be a real issue
Yes, which Mitch ate so much of it. Yes, Jada I just don't think he was worried about it
I really did eat
Also, you make a good point in that me and Wigar are calling you out of your mind and we look
You make a good point in that me and Wigar are calling you out of your mind and we look at you right now.
What the hell?
What the hell?
It's Cheru.
We want, I want to Amelia's birthday this weekend and she, happy birthday.
Thank you.
It was pissed themed.
Yep.
Yes, that's where I was.
Of course.
On at my piss theme.
Okay, got it.
Of course, yeah.
And I baked a urinal cake.
Amazing.
And it was actually, Mitch said it was pretty good.
Wow, that's pretty good.
That's pretty good. I think urinal-based question, if you don't mind. And I do want to get back to this, but it cursed actually, Mitch said it was pretty good. Oh, yeah. That was pretty good.
I think urinal-based question, if you don't mind, and I do want to get back to this,
but it occurs to me that maybe this is the place.
Why sometimes do you see that a bar or restaurant has put ice in the urinal?
My understanding is that that is an attempt to disperse smell, but it doesn't actually
work.
It's like a, you know, people think it works, but it doesn't. Okay. Got it.
Thank you. So me, I think, I'm going to have to go back to the restaurant. I'm going to have to go disperse smell, but it doesn't actually work. It's like, it's like a, you know, people think it works,
but it doesn't.
Got it. Thank you.
So me, I think it owner loves ice cold piss.
Yeah, I'm a work, I'm a work in a bar.
You might have some insight into this.
That was my understanding was it's supposed to make it
not as stinky.
I don't think it actually works.
I also think some places use it to avoid like splash back.
Like it's like the same purpose of like a urinal cake.
Okay. Yeah, I'll say this, it's fun the same purpose of a urinal cake. But like.
Yeah, I'll say this, it's fun to try to melt the ice a little bit.
Sure.
When you're peeing on it, I think that that's kind of fun.
This is a fun game.
It's a fun game in a way.
That thing, you're always looking for fun in the back.
You're like, oh, I got a piss, but it's so boring.
Okay, petition to bring ice to toilets too.
So we could get some get it on this action as well.
I'm gonna melt some ice.
That's, I think you should.
I feel like you're gonna have a lot of trouble maybe flushing.
Yeah.
Oh, great point.
I'm really good.
I didn't think about that.
It's for you in history.
But you know what?
They should make urinal-based toilets for women.
You know what I mean?
Like, we gotta just get a shit in there.
You're in a based toilet.
Like it's gonna fucking shit.
Wait, that's just a, what is that?
Wait, break that down.
A urinal-based toilet.
So it's a toilet just for women to piss me.
No, you mean that through, man.
You mean to sit down, you mean as low-flow water
or waterless, sit down, thing that's's low flow water or waterless sit down thing
Just sit down you just take a piss in there, but the people are gonna shit in there
I'm gonna shit the minute you get in position. I don't know about you, but the minute I sit down
Even if I fully was just intending to piss stuffs happen
I'm 50
So it can come on
I'm 50. So it can come on quick.
I think that if you raise the toilet up a bit,
you know, the bottom of the toilet is a pie or people
aren't gonna, you know, they're there.
I think the doughboys are definitely the people
to revolutionize toilets.
I think that there should be water free toilets.
Wait, wait, though, you be like if it's higher,
people are gonna not wanna shit in it.
What if it was just,
what if it was just instead,
like there was a toilet you could sit
and do your business on,
but there was just like a,
you could also,
like benches, a bench or just like a hole in the floor
that you could just piss onto.
Or piss onto the, you know, like, like.
Don't they have those in other countries
that spot toilets?
Like it is just the only hole in the floor.
Now we're talking.
But then it's just a toilet anyway.
Yeah.
But then you could shit that too and it'd be fine, right?
You ever seen those Roman communal toilets?
Most had like basically like big like,
this was, you know.
It's a modern day thing. No, this was back in the day. They had basically like a big trough that people would like basically like big like this, this was you know, no, this was back in the day
They had basically like a big trough that people would like all go to like sort of that trend of people being like how often do you think about the Roman
I think about this specific
Which is yeah for me, I don't know zero. Yeah, I'm a zero on the Roman empty. I don't think about it
Yeah, I've given some thought now they piss and shit and they had like a big, they also had the vomit. They had the
vomit. But they were, they were, they're, it was,
it was, they had a big, yeah, you, you would go and you would
binge on a bunch of food like the doughboys did, but instead
of keeping it in your body, they would like vomit it up.
It's so they could eat more. Jesus. Yeah. And so they
could live probably healthier lives.
But anyway, they had these big like,'re basically kind of bench seating and we never played
the vomitorium.
I feel like that.
That's to be the name of the next dope voice tour.
The vomitorium.
So we would squat over these benches and like shit into these big troughs and like it
was like connected to an aqueduct or something and it was it was like pretty gross
but it was hygienic for the day.
But the thing that really grosses me out
is that there are equivalent of toilet papers
that they had sticks with sponges on them
that were sterilized with vinegar
and people would just like reach behind them
and like wipe their ass with a sponge
and then just like plunge it back into the holder.
Like it was a communal toilet brush.
So you like that.
That's fucking nasty.
I like that. That's fucking nasty.
I like that.
That's gonna be the theme of Amelia's next.
That's it.
I'm gonna be the next.
Sticks and sponges.
Yeah.
We're gonna piss theme drinks.
I was chugging a,
this is a great question.
Out of a medical grade.
Are there her for nursing collection?
Like a sample cup?
Yeah.
A friend who worked in a hospital brought it for.
But clarify what you make,
because you said you were chugging piss.
You weren't actually drinking urine.
There's correct.
There's so many things
that are right now being clipped
for for drops.
So many to be clear,
you weren't drinking piss.
Drinking piss. Drinking piss.
Piss, piss.
Chugin' piss.
Chugin' piss.
Like, that's all that's happening right now.
I'm a piss house.
All right.
No, he did, but you did the melody.
So now he's a legend.
No, that's it.
Well, now it's definitely a house.
Oh, damn it.
Get the license. Br brick house just for this
fucking drop.
Drop King's got to he owes them so
much money.
The drop King leave.
Yeah, they they went to go to a
bar near by understandable.
I don't know watching a silent
doeboys episode sounds like the best
way to watch it.
Watching quietly through the window while the Joker and sweaty Joker and Batman.
The alternative was them like peering in through this and I was like the kind of might feel like
animals in a zoo sort of situation. Right. Right. And that would feel like. Yeah. And I mean, it's not
it's not exactly you know it's it's buster-key Keaton stuff going on in here. I feel like yes, I mean we look more
I think we do more buster
Keaton we should get some ladders in here. We need a bunch of like really big physical things to interact with
a buggy a train
We have we have more Zanku to discuss a melee. Thank you for saying about it. I do want to ask you, I do want to ask you
before you go before we go to break.
Do you have a fork score for?
On Zanku.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I will give Zanku a 4.5.
Wow.
Okay, no five.
4.5 from Amelia.
I'm also I tend to be very generous
when it comes to fork scores.
Mm-hmm. Interesting. This is not an official school. Yeah, this is not a canonical school
Yeah, of course not just a tease of what's to come right after this break
Welcome back to Doe Boys, talking Zanku, chicken with Zooks. All right, it's the time in the show for the Fork scores.
I feel like we haven't gotten into the food quite enough, but we kind of need to get
their procedure.
I'm shaking my head at you because I just said we had drama this year, and then you
were confused about what it was.
I know you're talking about it.
I will say Hanford did send me episode 400.
Wow.
So Hanman said, Zooks, you gotta listen to this.
Get ready to laugh.
We gave him the grizzly man treatment with Hanford,
where you said you must never,
you must never, I guess you did listen to it. Well, also you man treatment with Hanford where you said you must never, you must
never, I guess he did listen to it.
Well also you sent it to Hanford.
If Susser was supposed to do that.
You're supposed to be the only one.
And then you also sent it to Hanford.
And again, I will, I've sent it before.
I'll say it again.
Recall Susser, he, we got a recall Susser.
We do got a recall Susser.
We should not be commissioner anymore and I'm throwing my head into the ring.
I'm running.
I think you would look.
I'll say this.
You would be so out so fast if you were on our text message
thread for a day.
And my wrong while I think you're absolutely.
I'd be pleased.
Take me off of this time.
Susser at least has gotten the point
where he just ignores it completely.
And then we'll chime in and be completely unhelpful.
Yes.
So they're not here, I assume,
because there's no food for him to snack on.
He's not trying to grab in on something
where he's usually here hiding in the background,
eating all the snacks.
We're eating steak and cheeses at 5.30, so I wonder
if he will show up for that.
We'll see.
Yeah.
Possibility.
When there is free food like that,
he does usually make it a bit of a mess. He'll usually pop in and crash. In fact, sometimes when Well, when we discuss, when there is free food like that, he does usually make it a
person.
He'll usually pop in and crash.
In fact, sometimes when we don't invite him, yeah, at all, he'll just, he'll show up.
Is there any of the food stuff we haven't touched on?
Because we, we, we didn't really talk about the Kabab plate.
You know, I actually hadn't had the Lulei Kabab, which is the ground beef Kabab before.
Um, I, I think it's a...
I'm in my mind.
I was, I got a Kabab combo.
You got the Kabab combo.
Look, we, we can quickly run down a book.
Yeah, we got some french fries. I thought the french fries were great. Yeah, I got a combo plate with shish Kabab combo. Look, we can quickly run down. We got some french fries.
I thought the french fries were great.
I got a combo plate with shish kabab,
which is the steak and the lul kabab,
which was, I went, oh, I didn't do any chicken as my main,
which I've never done but.
Fascinating.
But you did say that you wanted to try
stuff you hadn't normally done.
Yes, yes.
And that is understandable.
Which I had had falafel before I had chicken taarina.
I really don't know if I've had,
I really don't, if I had had the rotisserie before,
it was like a bite of someone else's.
I've really,
So what'd you think?
Cause you did have it.
Cause we got half a rotisserie chicken
and I thought it was great.
Yeah.
It's really, really good and juicy.
We had a chicken taarina play and,
or and what was it was a swarm?
A chicken taarina and Shawarma combo.
A lamb shawarma.
Yeah, yeah. yeah also can have
worms by the way just like the
everything can have worms yeah
that's great. That's great.
Everything can apples can have
worms. Yeah. It's true. That's a
good. That's a great point. It's
I forgot worms can they can get
in they can get into. Oh yes.
Worms are all over the place.
Worms are not wrong with worms.
Yeah. Sorry. Um I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing? I just I just I should. Sorry. I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
I just thought I should have thought
that I should have thought more about worms in a way.
I don't think so.
But there's, I'm sitting this.
Let's really examine this.
You don't have plenty of things to apologize for.
Not thinking through where worms are,
certainly not one of them.
The rotisserie, my mom was like,
she was like, we're a Tisserie chicken,
cause Kaffee's worms was like a big thing
she said to me one time.
For me, look, there's two things that we have to talk about.
Wait, so is the reason that you don't eat
the rotisserie chicken at Zanku or anyplace else
because your mom told you that rotisserie chicken has worms?
Oh, that's no, no, no, I'm sorry.
And whatever mom says goes.
Oh, that's, she was, my mom said no chicken I'm sorry. And whatever mom says goes, that's it. That's it. Ha ha ha.
She was, my mommy said no chicken because of worms.
That's, I love vertisserie chicken.
And she was like, sometimes it can have worms, you know?
That's what, like, you know, she was just warning me of that.
I, I, I don't know, I don't have context for that.
I don't know how, how common that is.
I, maybe that stuff is sitting room temp for a while.
You're not gonna get it at Zanku anyway.
So it doesn't matter.
But the half chicken was delicious and juicy.
What do you think you're more likely to have happen at Zanku?
Be murdered by an owner or a morons?
That's probably the former.
That's the spookiest month.
We're not a true crime podcast. We're not? We will be once the show is over.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Man.
Suddenly this episode just segues into an episode of Syria.
At least Eagles here hang on a second.
Oh, man.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Suddenly this episode just segues into an episode of Syria. At least he goes here, hang on a second.
I, the Zanko murders are murder one of the spookiest things of all.
There's something very human about it, I guess.
I mean, that had its real.
Well said, Mitch.
Murder, one of the spookiest things.
There's something very human about it.
Ooh, there's something very human about a spooky murder.
That's what police say all the time when they come upon a crime scene.
Ooh, this looks spooky.
Look, this is off.
But human.
But human.
Human's spooky.
That's goblins scary, but sure.
No, it's a different kind of scary banshee sure
The the devil which I told you I've kind of lost
The shining is become more of my scare
I've kind of lost my faith in the way like father carous doesn't exercise where the devil has become less scary to me
You become less religious so you're less afraid of Lucifer
Even though less afraid of the literal devil, but you are afraid more now of madness.
Yes, going to like the signing like, yes, yes, yes.
That is a scarier thing.
I think it was Paul Russ who said that to me as well.
Also real.
Real.
Real.
Also the, of the two, one is real.
Yes, yeah, yeah.
Well, I don't know.
Yeah, I know.
You don't want to say, I'm willing to say.
But that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, look, it's, it's, it's,
it's murderers real.
That's what I'm trying to say.
Murderers real.
Okay.
Bold take.
Oh, what a take.
And this is our fucking message boards are going crazy.
Mitch on record admitting murder.
I'm, I'm trying to say in our spookiest month, we haven't talked about this that much, but up
here, this is one of this is this is a place that the the law of this story probably haunting
to that family forever that has a deal with this.
Yeah, no shit.
About the rest.
I mean, just for what happened, but also because the fact that it's now like a thing
that people associate with the brand.
Absolutely.
You have to take a chicken.
You heard of the Zanku Chicken murder.
Always.
Yeah, it's part of their legacy.
And it's unfortunate because this place is so good.
Yes.
But it's by the way.
And so below.
And it's such a, like, it has like a real, like in LA people wear the t-shirts.
It's a, it's a, it's a beloved institution in a way that I feel
like that you're right, that it's tethered to this grizzly story is, I think, also part
of what makes it attractive to people, you know.
Right.
I think, I think as far as LA go, obviously, I think the OJ thing is in a different category,
but the Manson murders, the Manson murders that Los feel is murder house and this are
like three of like the grizzly murder stories
we hear when you're like.
Like Dahlia?
Yeah, black, black, Dahlia.
And so you're saying, and you're saying the OJ stuff
is not as grizzly as that?
No, it is very grizzly.
You're, why are you taking OJ out of the equation?
I should have taken OJ out of the equation.
I should, it's, it's the,
You mean because he was acquitted?
Yeah, I, I, I, I, yes.
Yeah.
Yeah. Maybe you shouldn't be making a hierarchy I should it's it's you may because he was acquitted. Yeah, yes
Maybe you shouldn't be making a hierarchy of LA murderers maybe there's a big five. Yeah
Alia oh Jay
Manson murders Zanku what was oh is this just a big four? I think we're missing something
I think there's probably a big one with nothing in the neighborhood. The first, the murder house.
Yeah.
Which is very spooky.
Do you ever visit the house before?
I've, yeah, I parked in front of it once by accident
to go to someone's house who lives in that neighborhood.
And then when I was going back to my car,
I was walking with people and they were like,
that's the murder house.
And I was, it was chilling.
I've never seen it.
I am also weirdly live close to all these things.
I mean, like the Bermuda Triangle of Zankos,
not far away, I live pretty close to the,
the Manson Murder House.
Oh yeah, for sure.
I live, I live the, the, the, the, the,
the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
why shouldn't have said which one?
But I, but I live, and then the, the, the, the,
the black Dalaias she supposedly disappeared on that house on Franklin.
The jaw's house on Franklin, she was supposedly,
which is not far from Zanku.
It's like I knew that.
It's like two blocks away from Zanku.
The big one that I think that is big.
OJ one is on the west side.
Yeah, but the big one just from growing up in the LA area
that I remember from when I was a kid
that was like a huge like crime epidemic
was the night stocker serial killer. And that was like a big kid that was like a huge like crime epidemic was the night stalker serial killer.
And that was like a big thing that was like ever,
you know, that was, I think of that as like a big LA murder.
I think LA has a lot of murder.
I think so.
I think if we barely scratch the surface, you know what I mean?
There's also the big five.
There's also of course the big five.
And let's make a t-shirt of that. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like I feel like. But there's also the big five. There's also of course the big five.
And let's make a T-shirt of that.
Yeah.
A kinship.com slash doughboys.
Or birdfuck.com.
At birdfuck.com even better.
Like the big five.
And it's one of those ones that's like,
Manson and blackcom and it's one of those lists shirts.
Yeah.
That's so horrifying.
That shirt. And then at. That's so horrifying.
And then at the end, it just says, and doughboys.
2025.
What monster would wear that shirt? I guess our listeners probably wear it.
But, but that, those feel as one with the Lake Ray Harris
wheels we went after a party at the birthday boy's house.
We all went to that house and we looked at it.
Just the kind of creep around. Oh, yeah.
It was horrifying because there was, there's stuff from the 60s in there.
But yes, this weird thing that is the dark side of this theme of this thing that will
always be associated with this restaurant, which is like, to me, it's like, if you come
to L.A. it's like there with, you know, like everyone's like, you got to try in an out program
like Zanku is there with in an out program to me.
I agree.
A fast food place.
You got to try.
Yeah, I feel like, let's zone now, but I feel like when I was first coming here and first
going to Zanku a lot, the other similarly sized and franchise was, um, uh, Piquito Moss.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, which has in my, that's a good analog.
It has kind of fallen away for my. That's a good analog.
It has kind of fallen away for me.
It has a little bit.
It's not as good.
To me at least, and I haven't had it maybe in two years now at this point, or maybe a little
bit more, maybe pre-pandemic.
But that's another place that I used to go all the time, that I used to be like, it's
great food, it's consistent, I know, and then it started to be less so.
Similarly, I used to go to the other
Zancus more than I and had enough bad meals and I was like it's only the Normandy one. Are we going with
Dango or to is that what we did? Well, that sounds right. Yeah, that sounds like what we were doing. To Zancus or to
Piquetamas. You know, we were eating for the chain. Dango or listening. We when I hang when I have lunch with Dango
or which will be tomorrow. We will talk almost exclusively about Doe Boys.
Wow.
Oh my God.
Which is all we talk about when we hang out.
Doe Boys and the TV show alone.
Man, alone is scary.
Oh, it's best.
Spooky scary stuff.
It's fucking best.
It's so scary, so spooky.
What happens on alone?
It's, these guys are just left alone
and they have to film themselves,
but it's a survival scenario.
The thing, and what you were talking about,
like the shining factor,
they slowly lose their mind from having no contact
with anyone.
They're out there for months and months and months.
That's a much more.
In the middle of like the Canadian will do this.
With bears and wolves and all sorts of shit.
And you're watching people first get all the pieces
and parts of certain necessary survival,
water, food, shelter, all that.
And once they have all that, they just go insane.
Yeah, because they're alone for months at a time.
And the way that that show works,
it's like based on the delgoyles.
The delgoyles are the two things that you guys talk about.
Yeah, it's absolutely.
Overlapped there somehow.
Do you have any Boy Scout skills,
like when you're watching this?
Cause I always feel like when I watch this.
When I watch a fire pretty easily without a,
without a fire starter.
I would not say that I could make a fire pretty easily.
So that's impressive.
I have a few different, like I have some survival skills, but so few that I watch this.
And I'm like, there's no, I can't do not any more.
I can't do like all the stuff I used to know.
Right.
Yeah, it is pretty much gone.
I just know a lot of thoughts,
nots, I just know a lot of knots from sailor.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Growing, like I feel like growing up on in New England,
you know, summer's word, like,
let's go out on this boat or we stole a boat,
let's go out in this boat until they find us.
My dad used to take a boat out to not island by himself.
You've talked about that.
Just a nut, yeah.
That's what he used before, I think.
By the way, was that the real name of the islander?
Is that what your dad called it?
He's like, it's out there, big fucking white island.
I will say in hunt, taunting me just offshore
was something called Egg Rock.
Wow.
It was like you mother fuck.
Did you ever, did you ever go to Egg Rock?
I didn't because it was like a swim.
Okay.
But it was like a half a mile.
I'm not a strong swimmer like in the ocean.
No way.
Here's a spooky thing.
Did you ever go to the lady in black, George's Island?
No.
I don't even know what it is.
George's Island was, there's, it was a,
Is it a stuff, sure?
A Civil War, like prison,
yeah, or whatever I think.
And it was like in the Boston Harbor,
it was George's Island,
and then there was like the lady in black,
haunted the island.
Wow.
In my town, there was something called the Witches House,
or the Witch House, sorry.
And it was this weird stone structure that's in someone's yard, it's on private property,
but it's like this stone structure that's, you know, 100 year plus years older, whatever.
And underneath it is a room or a space that women who were fleeing the witch trials in Salem
were taken to Nihont and hidden underneath this structure.
This is at such a disclosure,
this could be apocryphal, I might be trading
in a story that has, my town has a history to it
that isn't real, but that's what I grew up understanding
was that it was a refuge for people
who were being pursued in Salem from the witch trials.
We try to get them all, but we couldn't get them all
on four weeks away.
I've seen a lot of old pictures and you do appear to be.
We also had in the hunt at the Northern tip.
It's a mitch immortal and you're doing this.
Mitch is like shining.
Yeah, yeah.
Like Jack and I say, it's been here forever.
A witch curse man. And now I'm Like, like, like, right. It's been here forever. Which curse man.
And now I'm just podcasting for hundreds of you.
By the way, I figured out the what alone and do boys have in common,
I think the theme of silence, I think is probably.
We got to get to our forescores. Oh, God, damn.
So we're having fun over here.
We could, we could not get to our fork score.
We're never, never score.
We were talking comedy stuff earlier, which was fun.
I'll talk about anything with you guys.
The Aspen comedy fest, I wish that came back.
That was back?
No, that's been gone for years.
Wow.
Great.
It was a, I think the closest you get now is like new faces
at Montreal.
Aspen was a festival for like sketch comedy as long as you didn't have agents or it was all
like a showcase for new talent.
But all sketch instead of stand up.
So it was incredible.
Shows that I saw there were great, I put up a show there.
It was awesome.
HBO ran it.
It was also a mess. I think, which I think is why it stopped,
but it was awesome.
Wow.
I want, I'm trying to get him overseas.
He's not gonna go overseas, it's fine, but.
What do you mean?
To tour, you mean?
Yeah, why do you need me to go overseas?
You can come to do Edinburgh or something with you.
Oh, Edinburgh would be fun.
I'm surprised you haven't traveled more, not even,
I guess I'm not surprised.
I was thinking about it and then I was like,
what am I talking about?
And I'm absolutely not.
Yeah, look at him.
It's not, he's not gonna happen.
Anyway.
Does Natalie like to tour?
I mean, not to tour, sorry, to travel.
Yeah, she's into traveling.
Yeah, yeah.
So she just takes trips without you.
Not yet.
Okay, okay, okay.
So it's not like Natalie's going on a trip to Italy
with friends that you're just like,
hey buddy, pass.
J.S said, I'm gonna be gone for a while and then just disappeared for a couple weeks.
Now is she dressed up as Harley Quinn and her lab job today?
She's just answering the phone.
Mr. J.
Okay, Mr. J.
Pardon? Mr. Jay. Okay, Mr. Jay.
Putt.
Does she call you putting it home now? Oh, God.
Oh, my God.
If I asked her to call me putting it just the stare I would get back at the
fun you talking about.
Wait, how did she already have divorce papers ready to go?
Where did she get these?
These are notarized.
The only person yelling out for putting a house is Y.
Right.
Literally putting.
All right, we should review this.
Let's get to our forex scores.
So here, Jason, you know the podcast, you know this works.
We'll each go around, but we can give our closing thoughts,
give it a score, but because it is the spookiest of months,
we are doing this from zero to five pitch forks. So just meant to because your thoughts, your forex score, but because it is the spookiest of months, we are doing this from zero to five pitch
forks.
So just meant to kiss your thoughts, your fork score, your pitch forks score.
You know, here's the thing, Zanku chicken, when you emailed me to suggest we do Zanku,
boy, was I delighted.
Yeah, both to be invited to be on one of my favorite podcasts.
Not bless you.
And also to cover a restaurant that I love and that I frequently eat at or order
from.
So dynamite, dynamite stuff had a great time hanging out with you guys yesterday for lunch.
Everything I ate was a home run.
I love Zanku.
I mean, I will, I will caveat this with do I think there are things that could be slightly
better at Zanku?
Yes.
Like one of them being like, I think they could have slightly better at Zanku. Yes, like one of them being like,
I think they could have slightly better Peter bread.
Like they just have kind of prepackaged.
100% Peter bread, you know what I mean?
Which is, by the way, totally fine.
It's not bad by any means,
but like that's a room for improvement.
Little things like that.
Still five pitchforks.
Wow, five pitchforks.
Five pitchforks.
Like, and I'm, and I'm, maybe it's even on fire.
And, you know, like really just like,
go and play.
Five flaming pitchforks.
Five pitchforks, each of which though,
is the website pitchfork, which rates music
on a scale of one to ten.
So, this is five pitchforks with a perfect 10 rating
of the album that they are reviewing.
Wow. So it's a classic five 10 split. Wow. This is, I love this. What a score.
My first thought is, Wags, you didn't have to come to the restaurant dressed as
Joker yesterday. That was yesterday. There is no need to do that yesterday, but I love Zanku.
I think it is so, it's just so appropriately LA and it's so unique.
Like when I first had it, I was like, I've never had a place like this before.
I hadn't.
It was my introduction to restaurants like that.
I know that there's a lot of Middle Eastern food like that.
There's a place called, oh God, now I forget the name of it.
Here?
Yeah.
I mean, I had little, oh, Minikabab just recently,
which was great.
I've never heard of that.
That's the name of it.
Scafs?
Scafs and Glendale.
Okay.
But I just tried Minikabab the other day.
But are these aren't changed in the same scale?
No, they're not.
That's what I'm saying.
That's what they are. Are they like Middle't changed in the same scale? No, they're not. That's what I'm saying. They're like Middle Eastern.
Other than Middle Eastern.
Many Kabab's fantastic.
Oh, no.
I got an arm and works there.
You got to try it out.
So, so, so good.
Wait, is it arm and wise men?
It's arm and wise men.
Wow.
Yonkers.
Good to know, home.
I love y'all, I miss you.
And then, yeah.
Are we just sending out personal messages now to friends? Hey, I miss you, Armand. I miss you. And then, Scab was sending out personal messages
and out of friends.
Hey, I miss you.
I miss him.
I miss him.
He went through, you know, we almost,
Armand, we've said this, Armand almost died.
Yeah, he had a little bit of an out and scare.
Yeah.
Oh goodness.
Yeah, I miss you too, Armand.
Yeah, he's got come back around.
But, oh good.
Armand, why is my now, it's Fini Kebab.
This is great. You've been doing this, I'm like, been out on this mini-cobob. This is great.
You've been doing this, I'm like,
I've put that out in the world.
Mini-cobob is great.
You should try it.
Scafs is great.
You should try it.
Also, I had dinner last night.
I know this is on Middle Eastern food,
but I went back to quarter sheets last night.
And it's the best pizza in LA.
Wow.
Aaron over there.
Did you eat it the night before?
No, I've had it just once this week.
Okay, okay, okay.
And I don't know if you try it yet, but you got to try it.
Okay.
It's the best in LA.
That in prime is for some.
Is there a bar pizza in LA?
Is there a pizza place that does a bar pizza?
Funny, and if you say it, they serve a bar pizza on Wednesdays and Sundays.
That's interesting.
Okay.
What's wrong?
We, I can't give a shout out to a place.
I love that.
I love that you're giving a shout out to a local business.
You also, when I was at Zanku and I threw in a sandwich,
you gave me a look after I, it was the tri-tips trauma.
I'm glad you got the sandwich.
I enjoyed the sandwich.
I ate half of it.
So I thought that was a good call to get it.
Tri-tips trauma sandwich.
We got a, the border got pretty big at that point.
And it was the longest I'd ever waited at Zanku for a meal. That's okay. Yes, we would still 10 minutes. Yeah,
I was that long. Yes. We got that we got a Tarna and a Wigar forced to have a conversation
with us. And then before the before you could focus intently on the food, we're not monetizing
this. like that Jordan peel me or he's just sweating so much.
That food coming must have conversation.
Hey buddy.
But we had the Tarna and and beef shwarma plate, which was your recommendation.
We had we had some awful great.
We had a lot of great stuff.
This is my introduction to that world.
Wags, I know that I just did it for Gassados,
but I think once again,
this is one of the special places in my mind
that has to get six, six, four.
In parentheses, six, six.
Flaming pitch force.
Okay, can I do something really underfrigerable?
I'm gonna do something instead.
Can I revisit?
Yeah.
I caveated my score.
Not really realizing, even though I listened
to the Gisato's episode, I'm also gonna do six.
Wow.
Now, we do have the potential for an organic 666.
That's true.
Then I'll take away my progress.
Which must have a titular, it must have a title, right?
Like the hand holding club, golden play club.
What is 666?
Like the devil's, the devil's meal.
The devil's meal.
That's right, yeah.
Devil's bargain is a,
Devil's bargain, the devil's chicken.
The devil's chicken, I think is probably the best
for any guy.
You also know he's now gonna be like,
five and a quarter four.
Of course, which is, he should do, just to infuriate the fan base.
No, I don't, I'm not looking to infuriate anybody. Look, I absolutely...
Do the Do-Boys fans have a name?
The way Blanky's referred to themselves as Blanky's.
Do the Do-Boys fan base?
Does the Do-Boys fan base rather have a identifying moniker?
Uh, I think it's in cells. I think it's virgin.
They're strong virgin.
I think the virgin army should stay strong.
This is sincere.
You know, somewhere there's an intelligence briefing that's like, well, there is apparently
a lot of chatter about a virgin army.
The proud boys are on the decline, but the virgin army from the doughboys is a big thing.
The virgin army we were safe.
We're not doing anything crazy.
The virgin, I look as a guy who's afraid that the texture ball was going to split at
Ithaca if you graduate a virgin, it doesn't happen.
You got nothing to be afraid of out there.
That virgin army is storming the McDonalds.
I think they're...
They're strong.
Our fan base is kind of...
Boston strong virgin army.
Our fan base is kind of cleaved into spoon nation
and burger brigade.
But we actually don't have,
I don't think a holistic name for the fan base is large.
Maybe we should come up with one.
Yeah.
I feel like, unless it happens organically, you know, don't force it, but I'm curious what
people would.
We should call them blankies, too.
Yeah, they're blankies.
Like, those guys are gonna get mad at us.
You're also blankies now.
They're real blankies.
Real blankies.
The doughboys fans are called the real blankies. They're usies. The real blankies. The real blankies. The Doe Boys fans are called the real blankies.
They're spelled R-E-E-L.
Yes.
I got some real.
And we name that for the face they make when they listen to the podcast.
And then you guys are referred to as the two buddies.
Okay, so.
It's so uniquely LA.
And by the way, if you're a Doeboys fan and are not listening
to blank check, especially the recent episode
with the Doeboys, you're a fucking idiot.
It's a great pod download that you piece of shit.
Great, great, great movie deep dive podcast.
I'll tell you what I'm about to agree.
I listen to it. Okay.
Citrus Batman agrees.
Co-signed by Citrus Batman.
Oh yeah, shit.
I meant to have it down when I said six forks.
Oh shit.
I love that.
We'll give that a that in six pitch forks.
Don't add that in, it's fine.
Okay, so here's the thing.
I feel like it would be better if you prompted it.
Like, what's your fork score, Batman?
Mitch or Batman?
And then, okay.
Cause then it's really just like a,
I'm Batman, it's that version of that line.
What's your fork score, Batman?
Six forks.
I mean, this is a home run.
I mean, if we're not doing, it's a shock to me
that we're an hour and 45 minutes in
and for the first time you guys have spoken to each other
as Joe's going to point.
Shame on us.
Do you want to know how I got these scars?
What was it, Ed Zankut?
I was eating chicken.
Boy, this is a tough one because I was coming in hot with like, like, I was
even thinking to go on first just establishing a five pitch forks baseline because I feel
strongly about this place.
I love it.
I think it's great.
Does it make that six forks threshold?
My concern is that we are deluding the specialness of six forks by invoking it too often.
I, and look, have you done it prior to Gisato?
I just got a, and Mitch gave once before to Bonisato's? I just got it. And what's before?
And Mitch gave once before to Bonchan.
That's it.
Okay.
I think, I think Zanku is awesome.
I think.
Oh my God.
Here we go.
No, I really love it.
Classic Joker spoiler.
I think it belongs very much so in the Platinum Plate Club.
But not the devil's, the devil's meal.
Yeah, is it the devil's meal?
Is it the devil's chicken?
Ah. God damn it. Thank you, time.
I guess in the spirit of the season, it would be appropriate for me to give six forks.
Yeah.
But in the spirit of the Joker,
Oh, fuck.
By forks. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-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 fuck. I fuck. I fuck. I fuck. I fuck. I fuck.
I fuck.
I fuck.
I'm so mad we only discovered Joker voice at the end of the show.
I'm not confident in it.
I hate it's time for a statement.
I got a food related.
Hey, welcome to the Platinum Play Club.
Zankoo chicken.
Wow, what a great chain.
Here's the thing.
If you come to LA, people ask us all the time.
Where do I go for food in LA?
This is a chain restaurant podcast.
We talk about chains. if you want to hit up
some of the chains we talk about
which is absolutely right prioritized and could check in
prioritized kisados those places are l a institutions one is from a little bit
further back one is more recent these are places that you should not miss if
you're interested in fast food being done right and being done a very l a way
and having a great meal having a great deal not gonna play the bank yes that is
not gonna make you feel disgusting brain point you know uh... and i'll throw in And you're having a great meal. Having a great meal. That is not going to break the bank. Yes.
That is not going to make you feel disgusting.
Great point.
You know, and I'll throw in and out in there as well.
Sure.
I think it's a, in terms of a LA only institution to visit, you know what I mean?
Like it's, you're going to have it.
Also, you're going to have a great meal.
Yeah.
Zanco, you're going to have a great meal.
These are places that you're not, Gisato, you're not going to be disappointed.
Right.
In any way, and you're not going to be bankrupted. Exactly. You know, the affordability is huge and that's why not, Gisato, you're not gonna be disappointed. Right. In any way, and you're not gonna be bankrupted.
Exactly.
The affordability is huge,
and that's why you see people
then there wearing work uniforms,
and that's why you see fancy pants hipsters there.
It's like, again, it cruts across the class lines.
I was trying to do a long walk,
or like, it's hard.
I tried to do a long walk.
I think it's hard because we're talking about
like a pretty, for Mitch to understand, I think think it's hard because we're talking about like a pretty
For Mitch to understand I think it's pretty art like we're talking about like Zanku is like a pretty blue collar place Yeah, it's hard for like a private hard for a private schoolboy to understand like the the true nature of like a blue collar institution
Like Zanku where people are wearing their work clothes. Yeah, you know, and because you were saying while we were waiting for our food
Why is that guy all dusty?
Yeah.
Hahaha.
I was trying to like, at your other job,
like you can't crank it in the bathroom
and then you're like, why so serious?
Hahaha.
Jesus Christ.
That's what I was trying to get to.
Very long walk.
That's an old was telling you. That was very long walk. That's what I was telling you.
Ow.
Hey, I've got a food related exam
and mission suks must guess if it's food factor,
food fiction, it's slop quiz,
trick or treat edition.
Wow.
So I'll give you some Halloween trivia.
You decide if it's trick,
if it's a trick, false, or a treat, true,
and immediately included this rule,
if they say true false instead of trick, treat they unfortunately don't win the point, even if they're correct.
I'm sorry.
Will you once again say it for me?
I say, if something is true, you say it's a treat.
If something is false, you say it is a trick.
Okay.
And so I will read a fact.
We're right to question it.
It is very confusing.
Yeah.
You'll determine if it's a treat, meaning it's true or if it's trick, meaning it's false.
So am I trying to trick you with a false trick?
True and treat, all TRs.
That's right.
I can't see this going wrong, so let's get it going.
All right, first up.
Before Jack O'Lanterns were carved as pumpkins,
the most commonly used root vegetable was turnips.
Jason, go for it.
Trick, not a trick. The most commonly used root vegetable was turnips. Jason go for it. Trick.
Not a trick.
It is true.
It is no you don't get the answer now.
It's a.
It's a man either or a fuck.
No, you didn't say Batman.
Bruce.
I mean that.
Trick. Trick. True.
This one is true.
It is tied Mitch to the Irish legend of Stingy Jack, a drunker who-
Oh, Stingy Jack.
A drunkard who bargained with Satan and was condemned to run the earth with a carved
turnip lantern.
What's that bummer?
That is some twisted Irish folklore.
I had a Stingy Jack the other day. That's bummer. That is some twisted Irish folklore. I had a stingy jack the other day.
Oh Jesus Christ.
Emma was so upset.
I like the idea of you looking down at your lap
and being like, why so stingy?
You want to get nuts?
That's why it was stingy.
It wasn't good. why it was stingy. It wasn't good.
It was not stingy.
Okay, that's cooperate.
Okay, we got for 2018 burger king released a nightmare burger with a green bun and claimed
it would give people bad dreams.
Having attested it with 100 people over 10 nights, the study revealed that the burger
made no difference in the amount of nightmares.
It's a bad man.
Treat. No, this one is also a trick.
This is, I'm sorry, this one is a trick.
The other one was a treat, those two.
This is confusing.
This was a trick, this is false.
There was a three, people who had the nightmare burger
actually had 3.5 time more nightmares.
Times more nightmares.
There was like, what was the, I don't even know that there was
a nightmare burger.
I remember this because this was a thing
that would make, I think would make your stool black.
Yeah.
Yeah, I see, I see.
Oh yeah, that would give me nightmares.
Yeah.
I'd be like, here we go.
We've also eaten a lot of things
that can turn your stool at different colors.
Yeah, for sure.
It is shocking, you're both dull.
Both from the dietary insanity that is the show, different colors. Yeah, for sure. It is shocking. You're both still.
Both from the dietary insanity that is this show and also that you haven't killed each other.
Did you guys have in Zancoot each other in a murderous, sui situation?
It's gonna be a big six.
All right, it's still a... Mansin, Dalia, Doe Boys.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Still not up at zero.
Number three, and parts of New England
the night before Halloween is known as Hoodwink Night.
Mm hmm.
Jason?
Yeah.
Um, trick.
It is a trick.
In New England, it's known as Cabbage Night,
mischief night, gate night, or devil's night.
So that one was false.
So you get a point.
So yeah, I want to say true,
because I just never,
it's so hot about that.
It feels like the,
anytime I hear about New England geography,
because everything is so compressed there,
and like it feels like there's so many different,
you know, fact evils and regionalism.
That's the one I had.
Every devil's night before,
and my town had something called,
which I thought was like universal and maybe
it is in some other towns, but we had something called the horribles parade, which was a parade
through town where all the kids dressed up in their costumes and walked in as the parade
route of my town.
You know, and it was like a whole, everybody was in crazy costumes, and it was just chaos. Here's what I love with Halloween,
when you're just old enough that you don't have to go
with your parents anymore, but you're two old.
Oh yeah, and you go out with friends,
and you don't wear a full costume,
you just wear like a mask, and then you're like,
I'm cool.
One of the very first times that happened to me
when I went out with my friends,
teenagers drove by in a pickup truck,
throwing eggs at everybody,
I got hit with an egg and had to go home. Oh my God! and out with my friends, teenagers drove by in a pickup truck throwing eggs at everybody.
I got hit with an egg and had to go home.
Oh my God.
I didn't even think of that until you just said, wow.
Got hit with an egg, had an allergic reaction,
had to go home, and take like,
Benadryl and an happy pan and like, do the whole thing.
Egging your house is like attempted murder.
That's what you're saying.
It is.
Oh, that's a good point.
Anybody who eggs my house house charged with attempted murder.
That's wild.
Wow.
Did we just come up with a orcule polaro?
Oh, murdered by eggs.
We did spend quite a lot of time at lunch yesterday discussing
Wigger's love of the Kenneth Branagh dog shit
polaro series, dear movies.
I couldn't, I was mystified by this reveal.
I was also fun to be called a lot of fun.
He's like, the second one's really bad.
So already, and she's like,
I love the alien series.
Like, I hate aliens.
See ya.
I'm saying.
Death and the Niles are rough watch,
but the other two are a lot of fun.
Yeah.
Strong disagree.
Okay, next up. Halloween is the second biggest holiday Seven the niles are rough watch, but the other two are a lot of fun. Yeah. Strong disagree. Okay.
Next up.
Halloween is the second biggest holiday
for candy sales besides Christmas.
Is this a trick or treat?
Batman.
Batman.
Mm-hmm, trick.
Mitch, you are correct.
It's not up at one.
Halloween has the biggest spike in candy sales
of any holiday.
Tangelo.
Tangelo.
Yeah.
Honestly, how, just, you've taken hours to eat a single tangelo.
It was a big tangelo.
Nature is candy.
God.
It's one of peace as Michease's final orange wedge.
Broses are the iconic flower of Dia de los Muertos,
or Day of the Dead,
which are believed to attract lost souls
with their vibrant appearance and help the guide them home.
So the thing we're centering on here is Roses,
the iconic flower.
That, okay.
Of Dia de las Muertos.
Wow.
This is why I'm going silent on, cause I don't know.
Yeah, and I'm gonna say Jason, I'll say that's a treat.
It is not a treat as a treat.
God damn it, Wigar.
It's merry golds.
Oh, okay.
Come on.
I'm just guessing.
By the way, I'm just guessing.
I know none of this.
I'm just guessing.
That's, yes.
What is the score now?
Is it one piece or is it two one?
I think it's one piece.
I think it's still one piece.
Okay, next up.
Number six, Candy Corn was originally called chicken feed.
Mitch, Babin.
Fuck, trick, no, treat.
You're going with treat?
Yes.
Treat is correct, which has to,
Zeus has one, next up.
Halloween dates back over 2000 years
to an ancient Celtic festival,
which marked the end of harvest season
and the beginning of winter.
Treet also correct, two, two.
Right, isn't it?
What's it called?
There was a bonus question about this.
So we'll see if we get.
Oh, okay.
Okay, number eight.
What was the guy's name?
Whatever, Stubborn Jack, what was it?
Stubborn Jack.
Stubborn Jack.
Wait, what was it, no. No, skinny Jack? Stubborn Jack. Stubborn Jack. Wait, what was it?
No, no skinny Jack.
Stingy Jack.
Stingy Jack.
Stingy Jack.
Stingy Jack.
That should be a Jack in the box burger.
It's like kind of shitty.
It's like one pickle.
A little bit of cheese.
Next one, it's two apiece.

Mitch, I mean, Batman. I haven't gotten it right once, right once.
Trick.
No, Mitch, that's a treat.
That is true.
Reese's cat and Snickers are the top three.
That's like, I love the top three.
I mean, Reese's and Snickers are.
I can't eat a Snickers, it's got eggs,
but I can eat a Reese.
I'm really?
Anything new, goodie or anything like that is bad.
But I can eat a Reese's and a Kit Kat,
which I love, both of them.
What's your favorite Halloween candy?
Twix.
Oh, Twix is a good,
that has the highlight.
No, caramel and cookie are safe.
It was surprisingly.
You ever fuck with like a peanut butter, Twix?
No, never.
I remember those from back in the day
and they discontinued them at a certain point.
I used to like this one.
I don't think I like that.
Peanut butter is my favorite.
Twiix was my favorite forever.
And then I think now a better candy bar,
it's not a Halloween, but is the take five.
Oh yeah, take five is a lot of fun.
Home run.
Where are we in score?
Who knows?
All right.
Does it matter?
It absolutely matters.
The people is this. I think Zeus is up three, two.
I think we might be both at two.
Vinod will know how to have the correct score in the
those parts. I think people on the
Doe scored. Yeah.
Are no doubt freaking out. Vinod who maintains our
Wiki will I'm sure have the correct score.
Oh, yeah. The sale. Great.
Dude, the sale use or possession of silly string on Halloween is illegal in Hollywood.
Is this a trick or a treat?
A man.
A treat, a treat, treat.
Treat.
You are correct.
It was banned in 2004 and there's a $1,000 fine and or six months in jail for using it.
I wonder what silly string Hollywood was.
The silly string that I wonder if a singular event made that happen.
That's a great question.
Like, why would you...
Something has to be going catastrophic.
If you have to be a law that says you can't do silly string.
Right.
Yeah, what happened in 2003 in the silly string?
I'm a selector.
Yeah, I don't know.
I can't tell if they...
Oh, it was the Zancus silly string murders.
That's a lot.
Final one.
Final one.
It's three two. I'm sorry. Like Batman wants to say
something. Don't do anything to our former president Trump's Hollywood star. I guess this is
you've been mega Batman. This is a man. He would be a mega fascist authoritarian type.
Sort of a billionaire who got his inherited as wealth probably would be magas.
So that tracks.
Yeah.
Next up for Halloween 2022, Domino's Japan offered a Halloween roulette pizza where two random
slices were laced with a low grade laxative.
That's fucking crazy.
Wait, what?
For Halloween 2022, Domino's Japan offered a Halloween roulette pizza where two random
slices were laced with a low grade laxative. That trick. Absolutely a trick. Yeah. What? For Halloween 2022, Domino's Japan offered a Halloween roulette pizza where two random slices of sliced.
Jason, that trick.
Absolutely a trick.
Yeah.
But this is a real thing.
The two slices instead had super spicy jolokia sauce,
which contains one of the hottest peppers in the world.
So do secretly spicy slices.
Okay.
Which is also a little far less.
Yeah, that's fun.
If you've analyzed the star,
he will be better than that, man.
I'm a bad man.
I'm a bad man he will rebuild it bad man
Maga Batman storming the cap
It would be a guy that looks like this black t-shirt the cardboard there wasn't a mega Batman I know January 6th. There should have been yeah, there should have been
I will think it is weird that your Batman costume has an AR-15 pin.
Hahaha.
The, okay, does anyone want to guess the name of the Celtic holiday
that dates back 2000 years as a?
I am H-A-I-N.
That is correct.
It's apparently pronounced Sawin or Sawin.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Was that the bonus question?
That's the bonus question.
You weren't saying this is the last question?
Sorry. I just went right on it. I mean, I would have the last question? Sorry, and I just wanted to write on it.
I mean, I would have, I would not have gotten it right,
Zook's with him.
I only know it because I had to say it in a, for a role.
I had to say it in something.
I forget this years ago, and I thought written
and I had to be told what it was and then how to pronounce it.
And even still I'd forgotten how to pronounce it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I audition for Frazier's son's friend.
It's embossed.
Yeah, I know. I know. Hmm. I get for Frazier's son's friend. It's in Boston. Yeah. I know.
I get it. Didn't get it. Didn't get it. But there's still going to be in Boston. So you'll get some
opportunities. I like that. There you go. One of the first shows, the first show I ever tested
for in pilot season. And when you test for something, it means like you are in front of the network,
you are one of the final people in consideration for a role. The first thing I ever tested for was a Boston set show
called Townies.
Oh, wow.
That was just, the only people left were clearly people
who were from Boston, who could do Boston accent.
And that was the whole audition, still didn't get it.
But it was like, I was like, oh, this is delightful.
That I get to just be a Boston asshole
for this whole audition.
And now, the voice of Duncan,
I have been the voice of Duncan.
I am no longer the voice of Duncan.
Currently, currently, I think it's just done.
I think it just finished.
Yeah, probably by now.
Yeah.
Oh, damn.
But it was, oh, no, no, I don't feel like we never talked
about them before. Let's get into it. I mean, when I tell you, I don't know that my dad has ever been
more proud of me as a, because for those of you who don't know, I know you talk about Duncan a lot
on the show, Duncan, a originally a Massachusetts, a Boston based, like company. So, so there's a real
pride in Duncan Duncan in Massachusetts.
So my dad's so proud.
Could it be, every time I talk to him over the last year
and a half were, I heard it again.
I heard it, you know what?
I was watching the game and I heard it.
They were playing, you know, he was so dialed in.
It was adorable.
I loved it.
I love it.
Couldn't have been more excited to be the voice of Duncan.
The best.
Do you have, like, is there, are there elements of the Duncan menu
that you can enjoy given your restrictions?
Donuts are actually okay.
Yeah, donuts are usually pretty safe.
Wow.
Unless they are fancy.
Oh, can you know, if they're falling to that category,
yes.
If they fall into that category similar to ice cream.
Right.
Like, I can't eat what most people think of is like,
fancy good ice cream, custard based, you
know, all those kind of ice creams, but I can eat like cheap kind of ice cream.
And not the dunk in his cheap by any means, but a Dunkin' Donut I Can Eat versus like a
fancy like whatever you did with David.
A side hard donut, yeah.
Yeah, whatever you do with David Wayne, that sounded to me like donuts I probably cannot
eat.
Plus a plethora of drinks, of cold drinks.
Oh, always hot drinks. I'm a plethora of drinks, of cold drinks. Oh, always.
I'm a Duncan, I'm Duncan Thuring Thruff.
In terms of like drive-through coffee or grabbing a coffee,
it's Duncan over everything for me.
Duncan over Starbucks, over pizza, over coffee bean,
all of it, Duncan.
I definitely like it more than the fantasy coffee place.
Probably my number two.
I like coffee bean after Duncan.
Oh, it's good.
I like McDonald's coffee.
Yeah, that's coffee's pretty good. Yeah, it's good. I like McDonald's coffee. Yeah, that's pretty good.
Yeah, all that stuff falls into the same category.
You just will take Duncan over it.
Yeah.
I was doing an at-proc and accident and improv
show the other day and it was bad.
I was doing like a bad.
Oh, because you don't do it.
I was just you were pushing it.
I was like pushing it and I was like,
I'm doing like a bad job with it.
But for the Frazier one, I stepped it up a little bit.
But I also don't, I'm not gonna like, you're an
encourageable Frazier, what the fuck am I gonna do on a Frazier?
Well, you're not gonna be the cast as that guy, though.
Yeah, you think you mean, yeah, cast is what a Harvard professor?
I'm not.
As an actor, you can do anything.
I love that you just were like, oh, I can't do Frazier.
You're an encourageable for me.
I'm like, I'm in reality.
I'm reading for MIT astrophysicist. Yeah. When in reality, you're gonna be like, ah, I can't do phrasia. You're uncorasable for me. I went in reality. For MIT astrophysicist.
Yeah.
When in reality, you're going to be like, ah, phrasia.
I just clogged your toilet with a giant shit.
Oh, phrasia.
What do you think you're better than me, phrasia?
Pretty much Peter Griffin come to life.
It would be me.
I've heard you in your, when you're talking with the Boston crew,
you'll code switch and it'll happen to you
with talking with your mom and with Courtney as well.
Does that happen to you?
Do you code switch a little bit?
This is like Mark Wahlberg in the department.
I bet you talk with different accents, don't you?
You're like, you're pulling that shit on me right now.
I'm not saying you're in authentic.
I'm saying it's just like a natural thing of what happens
on your, it's exciting.
I do earn authentic. I think when you're back in Boston, I'm saying it's a natural thing of what happens on your... I think that you are not... I think that you are not...
I think when you're back in Boston, you're fake.
So... Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Where's your blazer, man? It was only on Mondays we had to wear blazers. Oh, we had to wear a blazer.
Wow.
The blazer with the crest is available on kinship.com
or birdfuck.com to get the Doe Boys blazer.
It was only in brain tree.
It wasn't even that far.
Brain tree.
It wasn't that far.
By the mall?
Not far from the mall.
The closest.
We were the best buy in brain tree.
Okay, fair enough.
I also thought, I told you this, with my CPAP machine,
I thought that the oxygen was gonna make me smarter.
I thought there was gonna be like,
I thought it was gonna be a little bit like flowers for our
gym right?
If the CPAP machine did like open up your brain
in a way that you suddenly had more access to stuff,
that would be crazy.
That's what I was hoping for.
It's I've only done two nights with it so far.
Oh, but 60 events, I told you this before,
60 events to last night, point five events.
That is.
That's great.
Incredible.
Well done.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Cause that's a significant difference.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And to answer your question, Wager,
I didn't grow up.
My family doesn't have strong Boston accents.
I think probably because they are immigrants.
My dad, born in Greece, came here,
so his parents spoke Greek
and so that he didn't grow up with a strong Boston accent.
My mom didn't, doesn't have a strong Boston accent.
So I didn't grow up with one.
So I can have a...
It's Greek.
A little bit.
Yeah. When I was younger, much more, but less so now. I didn't grow up with one so I can have a... It's Greek. Hmm, a little bit.
Yeah, when I was younger, much more, but less so now.
Yeah.
Because I had grandparents who pretty much only spoke Greek.
And so while they were alive, I kept up a little bit better, but since they passed
not at all.
Can you attempt to why so serious and Greek?
I could not even.
That's great.
It doesn't, I can't even do that in that.
Hard-breakingly.
But why can't I?
I tried. But so but like, I try.
Well, I have like a soft Boston accent,
and I especially have a lot of the pronunciation stuff
that Mitch has,
popcorn, hot dog,
mum, all the kind of Irish affectations
that have permeated the Boston accent.
Yeah, the, yeah, yeah.
Especially the North Shore kind of my area,
very much has that vibe. I got in trouble because I make fun of Connecticut a lot
The there's people yeah, like I'm like I'm like I just knew England. I'm like fuck you can't trouble. Well, there's like kidding
Fuck you Connecticut
You're so fancy okay
Connecticut, yeah, you fake Connecticut's fancy. Oh, yeah, you can drive up here in your fucking BMW
Connecticut against fancy. Oh yeah. You can drive up here and you fucking BMW Connecticut. Just kidding.
How did this get made in New Haven, Connecticut? Oh shit October 20th. Take it's available
now. By them. By the way, I mean, look, there's a lot of great stuff in Connecticut. You
tried that pizza out there. We'll get a salad pizza. Wow. I was heavy. Have you had salad
pizza? I've only had the other one.
Frank Pepez.
Frank Pepez.
I've had Frank Pepez a couple of times.
I've never had a salad pizza, but I will this time.
I feel like locals really love modern too, but I thought salad is, salad is I put up there
with original Regina and Boston, which I think is good again.
Dan also they were slipping for a while.
I think they're, I think it's, I haven't been to three Regina in a thousand years.
Oh, man, it's, I think it's still one of that.
Does Pupigino still exist?
Pupigino still exists.
I will.
I will go to Boston.
I will go to Boston.
The next time you guys are doing a, but if you want,
I will go to Boston to do a Boston chain, whatever it is.
Wow.
With you, the next time you are in Boston.
This is huge.
What an invitation.
Yes. Mostly because I want to hang out with the Quincy crew. You have a blast with you the next time you are in Boston. This is huge for us. What an invitation. Mostly because I want to hang out with the Quincy crew.
You would have a blast with me.
I want to talk to Frailbot, I want to talk to Dano,
I want to talk to the two foes.
You've named all the right people.
You named all the right people.
I would love for you to meet all of them.
Talk to Ramani, talk to Scoot.
Yes, Scoot.
The great time.
Woo-Tang. You want to talk to Scoot early because if I talked to Ramani, I talked to Scoop. Yes, Scoop. Great time. Woo-Tang.
You want to talk to Scoop early
because if you have a few drinks,
I want to talk to Drunk Scoop.
You, here's the thing,
if you talk to Drunk Scoop,
you won't understand a word.
He says,
You want to understand.
Yeah.
He's gonna buy,
Boba Boba Boba Boba.
And you'll be like,
I have no idea what the book is.
He turns into a teacher from peanut.
He really,
and Wags, you saw it's like.
100% in there.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I love it.
Yeah, I'll be there.
That would be an honor.
We would love it.
You just say the word and don't be like,
we didn't think you really rent it.
I'm saying now, Emma, you hear me.
I got you.
I'm saying it.
One more tour, why?
And I know that stepping on Hodgman's feet.
I will come, which is my camera.
I will come for you, John.
I will come for you, John Hodgman.
How dare you?
We owe him a Connecticut. We owe him a, where is Sally's and everything? It's in New Haven. New Haven, John. I'm gonna punch for you, John Hodgman. How dare you? We owe him a Connecticut.
We owe him a, where is Sally's and everything?
It's in New Haven.
New Haven, yeah.
We owe him a New Haven trip, anyway.
I will happily share a show with John Hodgman.
I'm certain his books are available in paperback right now,
vacation land, get involved.
One of our greats, but I will destroy you.
Don't hide.
Sorry, Hodgman. That would be an honor.
We would love.
You've already done Kelly's.
I'm trying to think of what's a good.
There's still, there's, oh, I said it.
Papa Geno's, is there, there's a Papa Geno still exists?
We did Papa Geno's, but I feel like that we didn't get
Papa Geno's, I think we didn't Papa Geno's.
We did do vertuchis and vertuchis had slits.
Vertuchis is bad now.
Vertuchis isn't great.
Let me say this. I don't think we did
Papa Geno's proper because of the nature of the show.
It is Hodgman of related because we had to go to a rural.
Hodgman was mean to it too.
I'm pissed off about all of this.
We had to go to rural Papa Geno's in the city
where this, whatever the band was.
We'll post festival flying.
It was Western mass.
Yeah, and it was not like a well-traffic hobby.
Got it.
I don't feel like I got the authentic experience.
I bought the actual, I loved it.
And a great time of the day.
Great.
Are there any like Boston changes that are outstanding?
There's a huge one.
I'm not.
Which we haven't done a legal seafood.
Oh, done.
I'll do that.
Wow.
Wow.
Oh, that's a great one too.
That's a big one.
Oh, I'm stuck.
You haven't done that.
Yeah.
I mean, I've listened every episode of this dumb show. So I can't believe I don't know too. That's a big one. I've never had it. I've never had it. I mean, I've listened to every episode of this dumb show.
So I can't believe I don't know that, but yeah.
Oh great.
I mean, 100%.
I was pitching it for the last time and then we were getting into Boston the day of the
show and there was a tasty burger at the train station and wise like we should do tasty
burger.
And I was like, had been too annoying.
Toasty burger was the people's choice.
I know.
I know.
I know. I know. I know, I know. I know.
For all my shoulders.
I think like, I will say it seemed like the audience,
not happy you did toasty burger.
Yeah, to me, I, whatever.
I've never been toasty burger.
The audience wasn't happy with the show in general.
Yeah, it was a bad show.
That was the issue.
Oh, I didn't think so.
Why are you just tuckered out by the time we got there?
And how?
So was I.
I should just say why are you was tuckered out?
You fucked the show up.
Anyways, let's keep
Me fucked it up. I chaotic now fucking Joker ass
Sleepy fucking sleepy Joe. I Joker. I carried that show
That show on my back like atlas
like Atlas. Oh, my gosh.
Rugg.
Why so are guests carry the show?
That is the truth.
That is absolutely.
Who was it?
Colin Gabress.
It was.
It was.
We had Zach Cherry and we had a character.
And then we had a good.
They were all good character.
He sucks.
Here's here's that we were bad.
Here's the thing.
He's got I said this yesterday.
He got a great Boston accent.
Oh, he does a great.
I was.
Wow.
Yeah. Why so serious? This is Google did it. I was like, wow. Yeah.
Um, why so serious?
This is Google Translate.
I think he hates people without, I think he, he's imitating what he hates.
Oh, of course.
Why so serious, uh, on Google Translate?
And you know, I can't, I can't read Greece, but they have the phonetic pronunciation underneath
it.
Gatitoro.
Woof.
I don't know.
Hivathos.
Hivathos. Hivathos?
Hmm.
Uh, the-
Wait, what does this say?
That's the, that's the, uh, the phonetic-
Yeah, I don't know, that's tough.
I don't know.
Jati Toso, Savaaros.
Fuck the lights just went off now.
What the hell is going on?
Uh, we still got a good question.
Just like a red-edged-
Green flame.
Wiggers and Nightsister.
God damn it, that's the Mirion magic.
I was last on to talk about Rebels, Asoka, on right now.
Love it.
Wow, wow.
I've got notes, but I still love it.
Because he's taken, that's his, what's his name?
Yeah, that's Dave Fologne. Fologne's character, Fologne's show but I still love it. Because he's taken, that's his, what's his name? That's Dave Fologne's character, Fologne's show.
I'm enjoying it.
Just like a restaurant I value feedback,
let's open to the feedback.
And today we have an email from Terry M.C.E.
Terry writes,
did you have any irrational food fears as a kid
that seems silly looking back?
For instance, my dad once told my little brother
that after he ate a whole shrimp tail on that after he ate a whole shrimp tail on,
after he ate a whole shrimp tail on,
that eating shrimp tails would make him grow a tail,
we all believed it for years.
Thanks to the laughs, Terry McKee from the DoeScore
who did not die or throw up at the Hot Wing contest.
This was Mitch and we're this past letter from the...
I saw him, I think I saw him somewhere.
You saw Terry, IRL.
Wow.
Apparently survived the Hot Wing contest, Steven said. We talked. Or at least I saw him, I don't know. Apparently survived the hot wing contest.
We talked.
Or at least I saw them.
I don't know.
I think we ran to each other.
I think the bubble gum one is the big one for me.
What's that?
You swallow a piece of bubble gum.
It's not going to digest for years.
Oh, it stays in your stomach for like seven years or whatever.
Yeah.
Okay.
I have heard that one.
I wasn't actually scared of it, but I heard of it.
Same.
Yeah.
I don't know that I really feared it, but yes, I believed that I still would, I probably
would still parot that. Yes. You know, I didn't, I don't think I had any real fears.
I mean, I had a totemic fear of eggs. Right. So, right. Anything else was like, you know,
my fears were all, not like this though, like of a thing that turned out to not be real, you know,
like the tails thing. I once had a really disgusting dream that put me off of two foods for a while.
One was that I had was eating tuna salad and a glass of milk in the dream, but the tuna
salad had little balls in it that when I pierced them with a fork, they were filled with spiders.
Oh my god.
And then the milk, the glass of milk just had a churd in it.
And so any time, like for like years after that,
this was a wet dream.
Oh.
Oh.
For years after that, just like any like tuna salad grossed me out
and like milk, which I drink all the time,
I was always like a little off put by.
I have a story that is actually true.
Yeah.
That is disgusting, which was we were sitting
at the cafeteria table in high school,
and it must have been past Halloween, maybe four, six months past Halloween. Anyway,
girl at the table, a couple seats down for me, had a singular Reese's cup, like a Halloween one single Reese's cup in her lunch.
And it were all, and she, I'm not really noticing, but opens up her Reese's cup, cracks it
like this and then screams at the top of her lungs.
And when we all looked, the Reese's Cup was full of maggots.
Oh my god.
Like totally full of it had, it was bad.
It had gone real bad.
And it was, like it was just, it freaked everybody out.
And we talked about that maggot Reese's Cup for months.
That's fucking awful.
Cause it was, it turned out it would have been old Halloween candy.
Yeah. Fuck you.
I mean, that's hard. Yeah. Disgusting. That's horrifying. I tune it. It was my on, but it was hot.
It was sexy.
You can have a wet dream of that. How fat is she? She's a foreigner.
May be my my my my grandma's sister sister, she smoked all the time.
She had a dog named Mike and she got ash in my tuna sandwich
and I threw up and I forever ruined tuna for him.
Yeah, until the year is later.
And I used to love it too.
And then now, you used to love ash?
I used to love ash now.
You combined it in that tuna sandwich.
Yeah, I go, don't put tuna there.
I'm just imagining her making you a sandwich
with a big, ashy cigarette just dangling out of her mouth
and it just falling and her being like,
I don't know.
Yeah, me being a four-year-old kid in her.
Oh, God.
Second hand smokehouse.
The curtains were yellow.
You know, I loved her.
She was a great lady.
She was a funny lady.
You know what I'm, to this question is making me think
of which was a thing that was probably irrational, but it was based in a warning that. She was funny lady. You know what I'm, I'm, I'm, to this, this question is making me think of which was a thing
that I was, was probably irrational, but it was based in like a warning that you get all
the time, going, going around, being around water all the time, being in pools all the time
as a kid is like, if you swim within 30 minutes of eating, you are going to drown.
That's a big one.
I was like, oh, yeah.
I was terrified of that.
I thought it was a good one, actually.
I thought it was going to throw up.
And like, we always heard that you would that you would like cramp up and drown.
Cramp up and drown is the one I heard, yeah.
But I could hear it.
I could see it getting past around that way too.
It's probably that.
They just didn't want kids to throw up in the pool
but they came up with something scarier
so they'd be afraid of it.
I think it is so much the fact that like,
you're just a kid is gonna be so crazy
and then like might throw up
because they're just like,
yeah, an accidental throw up.
I think eating seeds, you know,
like if you ate some seeds,
I think there was like some-
Was that they'd like grow inside of you?
They'd like grow inside of you, or even if you pooped them out,
they'd grow or something.
That thing that you were saying about bubble gum,
I've heard about other things too.
Like, it takes you weeks to fully digest a bagel.
And I was like, no, you know, because it's boiled,
it's harder to digest or whatever. And it's stuff like that I always was like, no, you know, because it's boiled, it's harder to digest or whatever.
And it's stuff like that I always was like, oh, that's crazy.
And I can't imagine that that stuff is actually true like that.
You know, I can't think of anyone else that's like really scary.
Well, I probably think you guys will do colonoscopies on the show.
To get a question, we're going to hit the age when we need them.
Because it's coming up.
Yeah, it's coming up.
I remember my first one back in the day. We're gonna hit the age when we need them. It's coming up. Yeah, it's coming up. Yeah.
I remember my first one back in the day,
when I was a kid.
Right, because you got one when you're younger,
because you had a lot of GI tract problems.
I had GI tract problems.
I went to the doctor and I remember I was in there
with my dad.
And he was like, I'm gonna like check out your prostate.
And I was like, is this where you do the finger?
And he's like, uh-huh.
And my dad was laughing at me.
And then I told him the dad joke that he had were,
they were dad-did or the doctor?
My dad laughed, well, my dad didn't put his finger in my ass.
No, no, you had the dad joke, you dad.
Oh, my dad did, yeah.
Got it.
But when my dad was in there,
he seemed to really come to these events.
And they put it on a come to these events
is exactly the phraseology you on, but okay.
He was at the one where the camera went up.
Can I get a video of this issue?
No.
He made a joke in the room when I was awake
seeing a camera go up my, you know, my GI track.
That was, you know, and I was seeing little turds and there was funny.
And my dad, I've said this before, but my dad was like, I always said he was full of shit.
Yeah, it was a good moment.
Yeah, but I think that we should probably do them on that.
We, right?
You absolutely should make it into content.
Yeah, we're gonna, we're gonna do a testosterone test and we never did it.
We never got around double right there.
Yeah, we should do the low T test.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How about this?
It's a high T low T iced T.
That's the episode.
That's good.
Yeah, it's just the, it's just T.
Yeah, the listener who has the lowest T,
we send them like a picture of iced T.
Yeah, something.
The listener?
They'd listeners have to measure their to.
T two.
