I'm going to have five pancakes.
I'm a pancake eater.
It's pancake time.
It's our annual tradition.
It's the 10th annual pancake podcast that tradition started.
10 years ago.
So you made fun of me in 2012.
We did it in 2013 and now it's 2023.
Do you not want pancakes?
Do you know what pancakes?
You wouldn't have pancakes if we were pancakes.
Pancake Day is the best thing I brought to this country.
Guys, it's the official waffle, first waffle pancake.
Waffle breakfast, we're starting it now.
Well, it's normal to make fun of things
that we don't understand and then once we do,
we fully embrace it, that's the American way.
That's what we're about.
We have. Step one, make fun of it.
Step two, figure it out.
Yeah.
On top of any pancakes we may be making here,
I do want to point out we have a Hector on the side car over here.
Hector!
Yeah, pancake station.
Oh, we already have our first visitor for pancakes.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
Kelly!
There's no granola bars in the kitchen. Well, there will be a full breakfast here in just a few things to discuss. No, we got no bars in the kitchen.
Well, there will be a full breakfast here in just a few minutes.
Are we going to send a message to anyone who's in the studio that they can come get pancakes?
Put out the pancakes signal, which is just a spotlight.
Well, that was kind of an aggressive sign on the door.
Yeah. The sign on the door said pancakes, no entry.
Yeah, they have to go around now.
Oh, okay.
And then we're doing something different as well.
We're going to do an experiment.
This pancake, 10 years of pancakes, pancakes are getting boring.
We gotta spice it up.
Sure.
We're gonna make a rice cooker pancake right here.
What?
Ooh, that's what the rice cooker is for.
Do you just put the pancake mix in the bottom
of the rice cooker?
I have to make pancake mix over here.
So I've got all the ingredients.
You all need to map for a few minutes.
We don't have a mixing bowl for me,
so I have to mix it all in this picture.
Just like the pilgrims did. Yeah. What Shrove Tuesday's all about. We don't have a mixing bowl for me, so I have to mix it all in this picture.
Just like the pilgrims did.
Yeah.
What shrub Tuesday's all about.
So let's see, a mixing bowl with together eggs and milk.
Okay.
Seems simple enough, it burst into flames.
Why can't you just do like the water and pancake mix?
I think it doesn't work.
Like it'll burn or something.
It's gotta be real.
It has to be the genuine article.
Oh, here we go.
Little rocky breakfast.
I've started breaking eggs differently.
What does that mean?
Do you do the one-handed crack and like the one-handed crack?
No, you just hold it above the pan
and then you drop it and it just smashes in half
and then you take the two pieces and throw it.
Like perfectly in half a cup.
Yeah, I said that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's one of the light.
If you get the height right, it just goes and then the egg isn't wrecked and you just get too half of a shot. What if you get the height wrong?
Well then it like just kind of spots and a half comes out and then you go
You got a lot of trial and error
Do you have an egg? I bet we could do it right now. Oh, yeah
The easiest way of I have one more egg egg me
way of I have one more egg egg me no I'm in the way of you and Gavin do you want a plate or something you need something that'll it'll crack on right so
yeah like a pan or this table I don't know if it'll crack on that place yeah we
need something hard like a male right like a male, right? Oh, this is bull.
Can you aim it in this bull?
Oh, yeah.
But then we won't see it.
I got one.
You got some.
You got some.
You got some.
Oh, there we go.
This is perfect.
Yeah, we got the perfect thing.
I learned about this,
I learned about most things, which is someone else's
Instagram reel of a TikTok.
That's right.
Our library of Alexandria.
What is it with, whatever it goes down a chain and gets pulled off TikTok or retic
talk to whatever and then it's on Instagram, the audio goes so far out of sync that it's
barely worth watching.
Yeah.
Some of them.
No, yeah, it's a tri-
Hold on, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, before you do this, play spets.
Is it going to crack perfectly perfectly in half causing two shells?
You're out there decide.
No, absolutely.
Text this number at the bottom of the screen to vote for what you think is wrong.
I think I think you could do it.
Okay, this is gonna be a nightmare.
This is gonna get everywhere.
I'm gonna get out of the...
31?
That's how you do it, that's a fucking...
The perfect egg.
Okay.
Whoa!
That's...
That was even better actually,
because it stayed as one piece instead of fit.
Whoa, it didn't even, they're shelling it.
They're shelling it.
Well, it's not a proper pad, you know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Moving those goblets.
That's garbage.
Why would anyone do that?
There's a perfectly acceptable way to do it.
Yeah, but that way you don't get egg on your finger.
I don't like shale in my omelet.
Just learn to crack one head, then you're good.
I'll be honest, I'm disappointed with the shell.
I've never seen that happen.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was pretty good, though.
The thing wasn't bad.
The thing we all said would not work.
Didn't work.
Shalker.
Shalker.
You know what? I had to say, even though there's a little bit of shell in there, that went
better than I thought it was going to be.
It did, yeah.
That's right, yeah.
You were thinking about moving, that's how low you're expecting it.
Exactly, like I was, I was, I was, I was wondering Mike to shield my face.
But it's a slight sort of spring fat to the head of the face.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's also, I mean, it's a, it's a baking sheet, so it's like warped to all hell,
like all baking sheets are.
No, no baking sheet has been actually perfectly flat.
They just twist the second you cook one thing on them.
It's true.
Yeah.
This is good enough, all right.
So I got all our ingredients.
Was that enough I'm pinkfully?
Yeah, I think we're vamping.
It's time to put it in.
Blah, so do you basically just pour it
into the bottom of the rice cooker
and like it makes a flat layer?
It makes it, it should make a fluffy pancake.
Ooh, okay.
Smash cut to sirens.
We should also cook this egg on that layer
because they're like nine bucks.
That's right, that's right.
All right.
It's like a 50 caliber bullet.
They're like a bucket piece.
All of the washroom's fat cats are diversifying
their investments into dozens of eggs.
We don't have a garlic do we?
Garlic egg?
No, this is for something else.
Apparently if you rub a garlic on your fingers
and then you could pick up the yolk.
Oh, let's try all these dumb techs.
And like detach it.
Definitely a techs object.
Like detach it from the white essentially.
Let's get some garlic.
Okay.
Let's get no, don't. Please don't go out and get
garlic just so I could detach the yellow. Just so we can spill yolk everywhere. Yeah. And I could be
covered in egg for the rest of the podcast. Okay I'll start. Well you're doing that too. I know it's
pancake podcast but it's also a very special time because this past weekend when this comes out
because this past weekend when this comes out, Ruby Volume 9 has officially premiered on Crunchyroll. Bim-bim-record this. So we're talking, we're talking about Ruby
because if you're watching this live,
it happened in the past tense,
but for us it does not happen yet.
So it's future tense.
Yeah, and if you're, I mean,
you're probably interrupting your
President's Day celebration,
celebrating all the President's Day.
You can celebrate President's Day by watching
the new volume of Ruby.
Exactly.
Make it your new President's Day tradition.
Yeah, exactly. Just like the founding fathers intended, of Ruby. Exactly. Make it your new president today tradition. Yeah, exactly.
Just like the founding fathers intended, watch Ruby.
Exactly.
Vote Yang for president, 2020.
Yang was running for president.
A different Yang.
Right?
That was his name?
Wasn't there a guy named Andrew Yang?
Oh yeah.
He was like, who's he?
Yeah, that's right.
Oh my god.
Talk about it.
Talk about completely slipping off the map.

Do you want to see a heck?
Heck just make a real pancake so over there. I'm just fucking around. Do you want to use the egg? I'll have to use the egg. Hector's making real pancakes over there.
I'm just fucking around.
Thank you, Tyler.
Uh, anyone sent us a... Oh yeah, I see people there.
I was like, worry that people won't come in to get...
Oh, people are getting pancakes.
They're getting pancakes before we're getting pancakes.
I was not going to get this red, because the rice cooker pancake takes 45 minutes to cook.
Why don't we just get normal pancakes?
We'll be waiting.
I'm doing that now.
I've only got two of them.
We don't get any of Hector's pancakes. You want Hector pancake if you want?
Are you only non-us pancakes? No there's a whole bunch of them that are ready but
y'all didn't go for it. Oh wow. Slang some over yeah. Yeah. We'll crack on.

Do not move it. Oh, that is right.
Huh?
Huh?
Huh?
There it goes.
It slices.
It dices.
It holds a pancake while you cast.
It's the microphone pancake.
I could have called out on my plate, but I just refused.
I just refused to do anything about what was happening.
I was.
I just assumed you would have it.
I touched it.
I made contact. You also have just a little thing in your beard. I just assumed you would have it. I touched it. I make contact
You also have just a little in your beard. Oh happen. You have a while. Be going on
That microphone's gonna smell delicious. Hmm yeasty. Oh you and some chocolate chip
I'm doing some chocolate chip pancakes to differentiate from the side. Yeah
I'll get some fruits of any sort or any one you You know what? I took a I took this is a
This is a wildly wildly raw pancake. I love biscuit. Biscuit because we have three different types. Hmm
Well, I actually wasn't gonna launch a good one
Like the proper one. No, not a lot of hot one. It wasn't a shaking poor. It was the biscuit box
And we have some other ones as well. Oh, look at the brown on the back of that.
I've learned a little bit over the 10 years
that I've been making pancakes.
Ooh.
Do you make pancakes at home?
I'll take one.
I'll take one of those.
I make pancakes at once a year.
So you've made pancakes nine times?
Not even because Bertie did a bunch of them.
I love that.
I think I've made pancakes four times.
This might be the fourth time. That's why the first time you all made fun of me
Like what are you doing? I don't know. I've never done this
Yeah, you wait for the bubbles on that side and then it's perfect to go perfect to put look at that
Look at those
Cartoon ass look at pancakes. Yeah, exactly
Wow, look at the gradient
Well then one year I think our our
radiant. I know. One year I think our hot plate didn't heat up right.
Like one of the elements was messed up in it.
And it was not, it was like hot on one side and cold on the other.
Yeah. They did not cook very well.
We've been through, we've been through a lot.
We've learned a lot over the last 10 years together.
What year's this? This is 20.
This is 2023. 23.
Where are we coming up on 18 years of podcasts this December?
I mean, we just passed 17 years of podcasts then.
I guess when it was August and oh eight.
Oh six.
Oh seven.
Oh seven.
Oh, wait, what did we start this podcast?
I think it was oh eight.
Oh, wait.
Did you go to the first one and oh eight?
I think it was December of seven.
Text the number of the bottom of your screen.
No, no, no, no, no, no, it was December, oh eight.
That's what I said.
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
I got there.
And then so we're just past 14 years.
And then it, because headlight fluid was in, no, 2009.
December, nine, 2008.
There you go.
And now for, oh, look at that, look at that.
Oh, that looks like a sunset.
Oh, oh, it's like the start of the yellow trailer.
Yeah, I start the, start the all Lawrence of Arabia music.
Uh, when the needle drop, when the pancakes at the bottom of the screen just stop fading out.
Is it the sun went down?
Yeah.
And now, and now time for everyone's favorite portion of the show, eating sounds on microphone.
Yeah.
I mean, there you go, hell yeah.
Here comes your, uh, the yellow trailer there you go, hell yeah.
Start of the yellow trailer. The true ones. No, I do.
Do you want one of these?
Oh, you make one for yourself first. You need to know you guys gotta take it.
I'm taking that big old guy.
Well, this little guy here, Andrew, I'll take a little guy.
A little guy, just a little guy.
From so, oh, yeah, there we go.
This is perfect.
I'm so glad we're recording this in the morning too.
Oh yeah, it's a rare morning podcast.
Because every time we do pancake podcasts,
it's like the end of the day before dinner.
So I'm hungry, but it's like pancakes, good breakfast food.
So it's like the perfect thing for this morning.
Give me some of those strawberries. I'll do some strawberries in this one.
Well, you cook the pancake with the strawberries in it.
Sure, why not?
Interesting and perfect.
Again, I'll try it.
I have not done this very often.
We're gonna learn.
We're gonna try something.
We're gonna go for it.
Interesting.
There might be a mistake.
Mistakes might be made.
In three years, you'll have the experience
of someone who spent a week cooking pancakes.
Yeah.
There's a, I'm sure a lot of people who've come to Austin for our TX know about it, but there's a
a crape place right near the convention center.
That is so delicious.
What's it called?
That's a great.
Is it a pun?
Is it like, holy crape or something with the word crape, I think.
Holy crape.
It's a crape's, it's delicious.
They make a ton of.
Right by the convention center.
Right by it.
Do you not know about it?
No.
Would you pass me the syrup?
I've spent some time at the convention center.
Is it what side is it on?
A couple.
Um, it's on like second and something or third. It's so close.
Oh, I'll find that promise.
Get yourself okay.
All right.
Now it's time to get real.
It's time to stop being around the bush.
Pancakes are waffles.
That's really talk.
Let's talk turkey here.
I think I like waffles more.
Of course you do.
Of course you do.
A lot more crispiness to them. Yeah. There's a crisp aspect. I think I like waffles more of course you do want to go with what you do a little more
Krispies, yeah, there's a Chris Vaspect It's a Christmas there is syrup
receptacles
Yeah, yeah, yeah, look cafe Cripe by the way, it's called the cafe Cripe pun. It's on San Jacinto
San Jacinto in second, huh, so it's like very close. That's like a block away from the convention. Yeah.
Do you think we'll ever make crepes like we're supposed to be doing? No, okay.
Never. I can't even do pancakes yet. I'm still learning pancakes. I can't get to crepes yet. Crepes are
easier, I think. Well, that just really thin and cooked real quick. I'm a little concerned.
A rice cooker doesn't just says warm now.
It's not cooking.
It refuses to cook anymore.
We'll see how it goes.
It's an experiment.
I've seen pictures of those online.
They look really good.
So why is it crepes?
Did you all, I'm sorry, I know it's been 10 years.
We probably go over this all the time.
Are crepes the same thing as pancakes in the UK?
No, because we do have these pancakes too.
In like a combined to like toast them and stuff toast.
I had, I had a, I think,
pancake cake when I was in London.
Did you?
Yeah, it was really good.
What was the format?
Was it like these?
It was, I mean, like, and they're like half an inch thick.
They were like, you know, bullet stoppingly good pancakes.
Like they were super thick and super delicious.
Yeah, but just like like a little breakfast place. I think
near like Walking distance from where RTX was years ago or I guess it wouldn't be well with RTX London. Yeah
Yeah, it was fantastic one of the best
So they've got them they're there. Yeah hiding for hiding for sure
We're having us Tyler come check you and on the rice cooker
Going
It'll probably take some time is that full of water
What the no remember all that shit I was mixing before. It's all that. Oh
Gavin just woke up
I just saw something splash That's all that. Oh, just a little something Gavin just woke up.
I just saw something splashed. I said, remember when I was mixing stuff when I said I'm going to make a rice cooker pancake with this.
Yes, that's stuff. I didn't know you put it in yet. Yeah. I said, then you asked if I was enough vamping.
And we literally had a conversation when it happened, dude.
Gavin literally just woke up. He showed up to the podcast with line. I'm asleep. I mean,
about half of the show,
we'll all get object permanence again.
We'll all start understanding basic concepts.
And oh man, those are,
God, how do you get them so?
10 years of training.
Yeah.
I've made pancakes four times.
Con guy, I actually.
I like that, if we wanted to,
we could find out how many pancakes you've made.
Yeah, every pancake I've ever made on life has been on camera
Really you didn't mean in the home. No never Wow
Also, I think waffles
Yes, yes, absolutely and that's it. I'm not just merging pancake breakfast. It's delicious. Everyone will I mean pancakes Trevor pancakes are waffles
There's a mic over there
pancakes are waffles there's a mic over there
I think I'm gonna have to go with waffles too that's such a complex and delicate conversation to have
I think right now I have to go with pancakes
hmm good answer
I like that you'll you'll purring at us but in the camera you're sort of like your head is out of them
there you go There you go.
There it is.
It's the one on the jib.
Well, the jib.
The jib.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sure.
Yeah, the thing about pancakes though,
I feel like there's more versatility with flavors.
Like you could have like buttermilk pancakes.
You could have like the,
the congenitus.
But can't do the same for waffles?
You could, but people don't typically make that, right?
It's like you either get standard waffle or Belgian waffle.
Yeah.
It's like you want a thin waffle or a thick waffle?
I had a waffle one time, there was a place in Austin,
maybe this, maybe it's still there.
This was years ago, but they would do like a waffle brunch
and they would crumble and crush up
cinnamon toast crunch
and put that in the waffle batter.
Inwa!
So it's like a little crunchy.
It's a little crunchy on top of it being crispy
which the waffle is.
Dude, get out of town.
Yeah, it's really good.
Way to level up a waffle game for sure.
So Andrew has stepped in this morning for the first time in probably a while.
It's been a while, it's been a minute, yeah. We had to show him around. He hasn't not seen,
he probably doesn't know what she might have on the other side of that wall and that's what the
screen is. That's what the screams are. Because they're office flooding, which I'm sure you know about.
Oh, I do, yes. So they're kind of in another temporary space, which happens to be right outside.
That's why every person who's come to get waffles
has been in a team.
That's right.
I don't know who's come by Hector.
I see it.
I saw Kai, I saw Trevor.
Trevor.
What in from facilities?
Just came by.
Cool.
Yeah.
Everyone has come over.
Has been lifted by their nose, by their nostrils,
by some aroma.
Yeah.
How often do you make pancakes, Hector?
My wife loves pancakes, so maybe once every,
because we do a lot of breakfast tacos at home.
So maybe every once a two months,
I'm like, I'm just gonna make pancakes and set like a full,
like you'd get a curbulator or something,
like sausage pancakes, like biscuits, all that kind of stuff.
So that's the true pancake master over there.
It's basically the whole battle station.
Oh yeah, thanks.
Look at that, the McG, thanks. Look at that.
The McGillah.
Look at that.
Incredible.
The pancake he threw is still on Gavin's microphone.
Oh, yeah.
It'll be the whole time, right?
It's a load bearing pancake now.
No, the speaking of Kirby Lane, they have one of my favorite pancakes, which is their
cinnamon swirl pancake.
They do like, they do like a.
Cook strawberry pancake.
Ooh, a cook strawberry pancake. You
know what?
Pesto's done.
Yeah, they do like a cinnamon swirl like in the batter, like as
it's cookie, I don't know how they do it, but it's absolutely
delicious.
Yeah, I'm just gonna go for it.
I'm gonna fork one.
We want it. So you're talking about like all these different kinds of
pancakes and different kinds of waffles. We wanted to try to branch
out this year and do different pancakes.
That's why we have the rice cooker pancake
and we also,
do you have any chalky chips?
Chalky chips, right?
No, this is what?
You want some?
Oh, yeah.
We also wanted to do some savory pancakes.
So we wanted to find some like
savory Korean pancakes to bring,
but we couldn't find them this morning.
So that we were unable unable to procure those.
I still remember a few years ago, you guys made
like the spiciest pin ever.
Oh, yeah.
And Eric came and like a thaw entire thing.
Oh, is that when he said I'll see you in hell
and took a big chunk of it?
Yep.
And I think he said his night in the bathroom
was not fun.
And then he called out.
Night in the bathroom. This is like And then he called out. Night in the bathroom.
This is like, put a pillow next to the commode
and conquered down for the night.
Hooker down for the sleep.
Slut in the tub.
That's a rough night.
Speaking of sleeping in the tub,
did you lose power during the freeze the other week?
You got dimrodded, dude.
Like a true Austin.
Like a true Austin.
The true Austin experience.
But because of the ice storm two years ago,
I had a backup battery, speaking of waffles,
and that's what I used the battery to backup battery for.
I cooked waffles with it.
I wanted it in my waffle maker and made waffles.
See, those big batteries are so cool
because some of them would handle like 2,000 watts,
so you can power pretty much anything.
Yeah, mine, mine, I mean, because it was off the back of battery was meant to basically
power anything I would like need for a day, but I had power out for like three days. Yeah.
Yeah, it's a ration and then had a ration. Yeah, I had a ration. Yeah. I was trying to,
to I was talking with Eric the other day, I was like, yeah, it wasn't that bad. We only lost
power for a day. He's like a day like you're rational and you're trying to make
yourself feel better by saying you only lost power for a day in the
year 2023.
Right.
Exactly.
Not like it's a massive and unacceptable fuck up on the part of
like civic infrastructure.
Yeah.
Why are all the power lines up in the air?
So it was supposedly would be incredibly expensive to...
Because it's limestone.
I think there's that.
We have limestone, glamstone bedrock, which is unbelievably hard to dig into.
Are there some newer neighborhoods where the power lines are underground?
I think Milla has them underground.
Maybe.
Yeah.
But I think you have to go back and retrofit the existing infrastructure.
That would be cheaper than constantly.
Gavin, you've done this in factorial.
You know, you have to tear everything down
and rebuild it all.
It's worth it.
It's worth it in the long run,
but then we're all gonna not have power
while that's getting rebuilt.
Do you know the worst thing is in factorial?
It's when you have, you think in you,
I'm gonna go renewable,
I'm gonna put solar panels everywhere.
It is a pain in the penis to power solar panels.
You have to leave like the right gap
that they're a pain to get around.
And then you have to build enough batteries to store it through the night.
Yeah.
I will say, Gus, strawberry pancake, slaps.
Yeah, oh good.
Yeah.
This is good.
It's good.
It's pretty hard.
The strawberry kind of seeps into the rest of the pancake.
It's really good.
This is inverse of what I just had, which was a chocolate chip with strawberry on top.
I'm going to have plastic fork shards in my pancake.
I'll just crack it.
Oh, geez.
We also have, I think, a whole new group of people coming to get some pancakes. Oh my god. Oh
There's pancake cam. It was like picture a picture pancake in picture. I
Didn't see that
Folks who we got there. I can't see it so small. Oh, there we go. Hello. Hello
We got a nice group. Oh, there's Mason. Hi, Mason. Mason is our editor for STF.
Crankin out.
Oh, yeah, he already had it, so.
Crankin out all the fun vids, kickin ass.
I think he's not necessarily now.
Like, there's been a lot of restructuring.
Oh, yeah.
He does a lot of the edits, so we're, yeah.
In the past, done the vast majority,
I'm just trying to just Gavin,
because of his, his quip there.
Yeah. Shared resources now around the company. Yes. Sure. the bus majority I'm just trying to just Gavin because of his his quip there. Yeah
Shared resources now around the company. Yes. Sure
Killing it. Hmm. So we ever see funny videos from us
There was a once in a while There was that there was that which one was it was the I think it was the wine taste test video
Well, I was like very if I was like I don't know if it's gonna be a good good video like
I don't we filmed all this stuff. I don't know how it's gonna cut together. Yeah, Mason fucking killed it
Yeah, there was a lot of footage to get through a lot of a lot of videos are like that
We're like man. I don't know what the fuck were we doing this is this is gonna be garbage
It's not gonna be anything usable out of this or just like we filmed something and it's like well
I I hope that turns out to be okay.
Uh oh.
That's putting it, you shoved all the bananas
in the center of that pancake.
Yeah, you made it out.
The bottom of that pancake isn't gonna close up.
This is not, it's touching the fucking
on the left side.
The pancake's gonna have issues.
I'm sorry, I'm trying to beat it down.
You know what, I'll have that one.
Okay.
I'm gonna bet on that pancake.
These are kinda fucked up too.
I guess that's the downside to cooking the fruit on that pancake. These are kind of fucked up too.
I guess that's the downside to cooking the fruit
in the pancake.
They all can't be winners.
Ha ha.
Just a, yeah editorial a lot of times comes through
and saves it.
Like a lot of times the funny comes out in the edit.
Oh man.
Yeah, it's a team lift.
And what's up, Frado?
What's up, oh man.
He's looking me in the eyes. He puts in his panties.
I'm kind of just, did you just shot
gonna pan-pan?
He's putting a pancake in his mouth
and drinking water into the pan.
Is it like a pill?
Jew Frady.
You got you.
Oh god.
You're gonna make Kevin's neck.
Next time, just take a little bit
of the shaking poor bisquick,
put it in your mouth and put the water in.
No, let's go.
Oh, the baby.
That looks like a candy.
Oh.
Fucking vile.
Just absolutely vile.
You turn it back into the pancake mix.
You reverse that pancake mix.
Oh, just a deconstructed pancake.
Yeah, back in its raw form.
Was I with you, guess, when we were at, I don't know if it was someone like casino or somewhere similar, where a rat ran across the top of the
jackalope. Oh, it's sitting in the jackalope. Like, you know, you can order food at the window
in the back. And we're ordering food. And the person at the pass is facing us, taking
our order and behind him is like all the stocks of the food and everything. And a rat just
ran across all the food
on top.
Hell yeah.
And it made like a little leap from one shell
to a shell, flow it down into like,
I assume it was like a box of napkins or something
where I sort of like caved in the middle.
But it was such a big rat that it went like,
feng, landed when it, and they just carried on running.
And I just looked, I assume it you and I just went,
you know, it was like, lost eyes. I still didn't we were in to the yeah, I think we just went like
Already here like well that that one was on its way back to the chef's head
Whether we and I think what my rationale was whether we saw it or not the rats are already there
They're there. Yeah exactly. It's like 100% we saw it
It doesn't mean there wasn't a rat every other time. Right.
We've gone and ordered exactly. Oh my gosh. That's the first one.
That was one of my first times in Austin. I just made me the food stand is a bit lower.
That happened. That has a very similar thing happened to me one time at Opal Devines that you on East or West 7th.
Do you remember what is now?
I don't know what it is now.
Yeah.
This is over a decade ago.
It's like 7th and West now.
They turned it into metal and lace,
that steam punk bar.
I don't know if it's still that
because God, I would never be caught dead anywhere near there.
But anyway, I was in Opal Divines,
which used to serve food and like,
it's like pub food.
And was there with some friends ordered food,
like literally like food set down at table
and a rat fell from the rat food.
And like hit the floor and then like screed under a table
and like disappeared.
And it really was just like,
eh well.
Yeah.
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do?
It was like, they're everywhere, right?
I think nowadays I would have not ordered food.
I think so too.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, well, I think nowadays
I wouldn't have ordered food there in the first place.
Like I wouldn't have been in that position.
Yeah, yeah, I didn't get to get to the front of the line.
What can I get you?
Bottleed water, I guess.
Yeah, what do you have to seal?
Anything to package?
I have a rat allergy.
Yeah.
Do you have something from the rat-free kitchen?
Was that a packaged cheese and crackers?
There's a little, yeah.
And you know that if there's one rat running around
in the middle of the day at lunchtime,
there's going to be like 20 of them at night.
Oh my god, it's going to be so many.
Oh man, they're having a fucking congeline.
Every time I hear about rats being in places
or like showing up in places,
I always picture the scenes from Ratatouille
of like they have an entire restaurant,
above a restaurant that they're all eating at
and like accidentally slip out.
I'm like Ratatouille.
Ratatouille?
Yeah, you just said it like a Ratatouille.
Oh, weirdo.
What did I say?
I thought she said it right.
Did she say it weird?
Can we get it into a replay?
Yeah, raw.
Do you have that hot, sour, raw?
Now I can't ever think about Rada Tui.
I don't think of Racka Kuni all the time.
Racka Kuni?
Where all the ones ruined that for me.
Dude, I love that movie.
I just rewatched it last week.
It's, I thought it was even better on a second viewing than it was.
Was it?
Like, I loved it the first time.
But then watching it again, the second time was like, oh, this is incredible.
There are movies I love that I've only ever seen once.
It's Parasite.
I only ever watch once in theaters,
which I want to see again, which I know it's your favorite.
Everything everywhere at once.
Marcel the Shell was shoes on,
which have you guys seen that?
That was incredible.
It was so good.
I, if you know, if anyone hasn't seen it,
I will watch it with you just to watch you watch it.
I haven't seen it.
It's the most precious movie in the entire world.
And it's only like 85 minutes.
It's not long.
It's very digestible. Brisk. But it's only like 85 minutes. It's not long. It's very digestible.
Brisk.
But it's like.
He's had some trouble.
It's so such a beautiful movie, but also so meaningful.
And like the messaging behind it too.
You'll have to say.
Yeah, like, I feel like it's a cliche thing you hear all the time.
It's like, this movie has a lot of heart.
It's like, no, that movie really, really does.
It really does.
All the others were lying.
They're fucking bunch of posiers. This one actually of heart. It was like, no, that movie really, really does. All the others were lying. They're fucking bunch of posious.
This one actually has hearts.
Look at these, oh, you can't have blueberry.
Can't have blueberry.
Oh, do you want the Nana?
I'm actually, you know what?
I've had three pancakes.
I feel, I'm sated.
I feel good.
I feel good.
That's what you like, a very good.
I might go back in for another one a little bit.
How would you rate your pancakes that you've had, old three?
Delicious.
First one was...
Was the chocolate chip one?
No, the first one, the Hector made, and it was edible.
It was a tossing pancake.
It was a sports pancake.
I think I like the strawberry one the best.
The strawberry one was really good.
I was going to ask because pancakes, pancakes really do feel like the meal of the people.
It's like the breakfast of the people.
Feels very like heartland, feels very like salt to the earth, salt to the earth meal.
So I was going to you all, the opposite.
What is the most pretentious meal you've ever eaten?
Oh, that we've ever eaten or that exists?
That you've ever eaten.
That you were like, and I mean,
because I've had a couple where I was like,
this is a joke, right?
Like, probably anything with foam on it.
Oh god, a deliberate foam.
Deliberate foam?
Well, they had to foam something to put it on there.
That's the title of the episode, deliberate foam.
Have you seen the menu?
Yes.
Yes.
I've seen that some...
At that restaurant?
No.
He lived.
I've read that.
I've read that, a Michelin star restaurant before.
That's very much like that where it's a 20 course meal.
And it's like, you're telling a story through the food.
And it's like, oh, every course is one bite or two bites and it's like oh this is and they're like every even though it's like one or two bites has like a three paragraph explanation of what you're about it
it's like shit like that. Yeah, it's everybody just phenomenal. Yeah, everybody's fun. It's like this is incredible. This is the best meal I've ever had but I'm reading way too much. Yeah, I like stuff like one bite, but if you tried to cook and prepare just that one bite,
you'd have to spend like $70 of ingredients
just to get that single flavor.
Right, exactly.
And Dirties, every dish I own,
it's like, you're whipping out like the chef's blow torch
and everything.
Exactly, full creme brulee torch.
Yeah, I like-
Did you have an experience with a-
I feel like I've eaten in a couple places
like one of them one of them here in town where I don't even know if it's still open
and I'm not gonna blow up their spot, but it was one of those places that was like
I
Think this I think this bite is like $20 like it was like a $20 bite. I was like yeah, it's good
But also I feel like I'm getting punk like I'm like yeah, I'm like this is
but also I feel like I'm getting pucks. Like I'm like, this is not worth it.
And I feel like I'm always like too low class
and scummy to appreciate it to the point where
I know it's a $20 bite
and I'm trying to get $20 worth of enjoyment from the bite.
But all I'm doing is like chewing it kind of weird
and ruining the experience from the family.
I just like, let me get a speck of the tones
and then I'm just like, oh.
Maybe I should just eat this like a normal human being. Yeah, there was a dinner I once went to with a friend of mine.
He like booked this like special room in this restaurant
and did like the chefs, I guess, menu, whatever it was called,
like where they like specially prepared
all these different courses.
Yes.
None of it was good.
It was like, it was like, here's these beats
prepared with this thing in this certain way.
And it was like, you know, three bites of this thing.
None of it was good.
None of it was good.
And I didn't know how to tell him.
I'm just like, I really appreciate you booking this.
Like, mm, and it was like.
Did you get it down at least?
Yeah, kind of mostly.
But I don't know.
It was a, I was just kind of shocked
that this was like anybody would enjoy it.
Kind of like treasure, sure.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You deliberately choose it.
Similar to that.
One time I was in Manhattan
for one of my wedding anniversary, so my wife.
And we were like,
my wedding anniversary with the sun person.
My wife.
Some lady.
We were like trying to find a place to eat and it was like,
oh, there's like this Japanese is a kaya that's like around the corner for more
we're staying.
And I was like looking on like open table, something where you can book yourself.
And it's like, huh, it says that this table, the only table they have left is chef's table.
Now, you know, what does that mean?
I don't know.
We'll find out when we get there.
And like we book it, we walk over like a couple of blocks down
and get there and like, hey, we hear reservation for Serola.
Like, oh, you book the chef's table.
Like, yeah, okay, right this way.
And they like lead us essentially into the kitchen.
And there's like a small table this wide,
as wide as the coffee table we have here,
between us and the chef.
And he's like, oh, welcome.
I'm just gonna make you whatever we have.
And that'll be your dinner for tonight.
It's like, cool.
And he started preparing, like at first,
it was like, oh wow, like these skewers
is all really delicious.
And then like he hands me one.
It's like, this is a skewer with filled with chicken hearts.
And it was just like four chicken hearts on a skewer.
And I was like, okay.
And then you can't not eat it in front of him because the chef who made it right is right there.
He's as far away between me and Gavin, like staring at each other.
He's gonna airplane it to you.
There it goes.
And then he handed us another one.
It was like, this is a skewer filled with chicken livers.
This guy just had some awful light around from his mate.
Yeah. If I was that chef, I would definitely,
if people sat at the chef's table,
I would punk them so hard.
I'd be like, here's this dish of chicken liver
mixed with zucchini and bread and some tic-tac.
And some hot cooked pancake mix.
And browning.
Beaks.
Enjoy.
Yeah, I've done a few like, I'm a cassé,
you can eat what comes out, things,
but it's always such a huge risk,
because I really hate uni, like I hate urchin.
Oh, he's so good, though.
I hate it so much, it makes me gag.
I hate the texture, I hate the flavor.
And whenever like the chef is putting it in front of you
and it's one single bite,
and they can tell if you didn't eat you,
no, I'm just like,
Fuuuh. I just force you down to the point where I don't even want to do that's me with MacRill. It's one single bite and they can tell if you didn't e. Oh, no, I'm just like
That's the point where I don't even want to do that. That's me with macro Because macro is like the fish she is fish. Yeah, I mean, it's like that that is a capital F fish taste
Hence the saying holy macro holy macro hence the saying
I feel like I had a big mental block about uni for a long time because it's like it's kind of gross
If you think about it, and the texture's disgusting.
But once you get over that mental hurdle,
it's like, oh my god, this is the most,
this is like the food of the gods.
This is so delicious.
It tastes like dog shit.
No, it does.
It looks like sick dog shit, but it tastes amazing.
What is it?
I can't be like counterpoint.
It tastes like dog shit.
So bad, eh?
Why does uni, why don't I know what this is?
It's ill.
No, it's a sea urchin gonads.
Oh, right.
The gonads?
The gonads.
Yes.
It's like orange.
It looks almost like a paste.
It looks like orange paste.
Yeah, it's the sex organ that produces row,
sometimes referred to as the gonads or corals.
Wow, and you eat that.
It's so good. I'll be honest, I didn't know it was the
the sexual organs. It does that make it better. Well, now I'm not eating it ever again. Come on.
Yeah, that's it. Yeah, and it just it just feels like it's like so buttery. It looks like it would
taste like you're eating a tongue. No, it's just so much softer. It's got no tongue is delicious.
eating a tongue. No, it's just so much softer.
It's got no tongue.
Tongue is delicious.
Tongue is a good one.
It's like no resistance to any.
Oh, I would eat that then.
It's delicious.
It's really good.
I trust Gus.
I also like pretty much all food,
except at this one restaurant I went to,
where they, I guess I think we're punking me.
I think it's because I expected something fantastic
and delicious and amazing and everything was just like,
this tastes like you pick something up at a
That the grocery store and just like put it on a plate like it was not
Nothing, well, they probably didn't that most people do it
Well, I mean like it felt like it wasn't like there was nothing special about it
Like they just put raw ingredients on them, and they're like there you go
And then charge you like $200. Yeah, exactly
That's like to be the just have more paper towel?
This is a, I'm glad I've, I'm glad I've
veered the podcast into relatable territory
talking about the super fancy meals
that we're eating like, you know,
the one of us loses try to get by and eat it without, you know.
Yeah, that was the one time I had a meal like that.
Yeah, I like, I feel like, and it was awful.
It was, it was, it was, it's always like,
I feel like when I've had meals like that, it's been like a special occasion. And so there's like this, there's like, and it was awful. It was, it was, it was, it's always like, I feel like when I've had meals like that,
it's been like a special occasion.
And so there's like this,
there's like a little pressure for it to be like,
yeah.
Oh my God, this is life, Jane, this is like so amazing.
But the new year's eve of meals.
The new year?
Exactly, exactly.
And do they, does it often live up to those, to the hype?
Not usually now.
But, you know, because like, I,
I, I, it's run the gamutut like I've had experiences of that were like
Truly like oh my gosh. It's one of the best things I've ever tasted in my life and then ones that was like oh my god
I can't believe I'm being like
Sassmas
I still remember the single best meal of my life and it was actually with you guys. Oh was it it was PAX East
2010 I believe this was a when I was still just a fan
and I came to Boston to help volunteer at the booth
for Roushiji.
Fucking Boston kid.
The Boston and I was at the other 2010 or 2011,
but we were packing up the booth and it was Sunday
and Gus was like, we're gonna go,
I think it was like to Morton's or something.
Yeah.
A stay-couse, because like that's the way that, you know, to celebrate the end of something and likeakehouse, because that's the way to celebrate
the end of something and where not a lot of attendees
might happen to be.
So it was a little more quiet and chill.
And it was a reward for us for doing all the work.
It showed us staying in a few different days.
And so he's like, you want to come?
And I was like, OK, so me, Gus, and Jack went to,
I think it was Morton's.
And I had my first ever really fancy steak
and like all the side dishes that come with it. And I'm just like, this is the greatest meal
of all time. It's so decadent. Yeah. After, especially like working a booth at Pax, it is.
Well, it's basically when you're there, it's like you're just eating like pizza.
Snacks or whatever you'd like. Yeah. So eating over trash cans, like,
oh, god. Half cooked hot dog.
That's right.
The camera keeps cutting between me and Barb,
but we look identical.
I brought this hat to wear today,
and I looked at Andrew,
because I saw him in the kitchen.
I was like, oh, boo.
This one of us is gonna have to change.
And so I kept it off.
Oh, oh.
Oh, lined it up.
We are one.
We're drifting.
Now you all can operate a yeager together.
That's right, exactly.
That's right.
That's right.
That's for the Pacific Rim heads out there.
Um, the, um, one of the best meals either,
I think one of the best things I've ever tasted was also
speaking of at RTX London at DeShumed.
They have- How's that in the Dishoom. They have-
I was at the Indian place?
Yes.
They have a-
Were you with Jessica Vassami?
Yes.
Because she will never shop about that place.
I understandably-
Apparently.
No, someone's backing her up.
There was a, sorry, to the vegetarians out there. They have a lamb chop.
That is maybe the best thing I've ever tasted.
Wow.
It is unbelievably good.
Like I got one, took one bite,
and went every one at this table has to get one of these.
Another round.
Another round of these chops.
Incredible, one of the best.
Congratulations to everyone involved in making this.
You all did it. You all did it. One of the best things. Congratulations to everyone involved in making this. You all did it.
You all did it.
Round of applause.
Take take take.
Disgusting looking chocolate chip pancake.
I think I'm full.
I'm pretty stuff.
Yeah, I'm pretty full.
I like to do that.
I say that, but I will eat it.
Again, brown on top, and then just like completely smashed
and uncooked on the bottom.
It was great on the other side.
Look at that.
Ooh, yeah, look at that.
I feel like I'm gonna close up on that bad boy.
I can tell you this is really good. I can tell you this is really good. side. Look at that. Ooh, yeah, look at that. I feel like a close up on that bad boy. That's 10 years of experience right there.
Yeah.
It smells good.
The first ones have a lot more effort put into them.
Yeah.
And as the time goes on, the grill starts getting dirty
and I just start getting a lot faster with it.
What was the status on this one?
It's like, it looks like a gas station taco.
I was gonna say something way worse.
I was gonna say something way worse.
Yeah, it looks like the floor of a gas station bathroom.
Yeah. How's, let's in bathroom. Yeah.
How's, can we get a check on the rice cooker pancake?
It's coming along great.
I just checked it.
We got to be about another 10 minutes or so.
Oh, fantastic.
Just the exact amount of time a pancake should take.
35 minutes.
I do have a question about something,
which I don't understand.
Maple syrup or any syrup?
Sure.
Been around for a long time. Classic do have a question about something, which I don't understand. Maple syrup or any syrup?
Sure.
Been around for a long time.
Classic topping of pancakes and waffles.
Why have we not mastered the container or spout for administering syrup?
It's okay about how every ball is really sticky.
Just like you can't pour it without it coming out and spilling over the lid or down the
side of it.
I think it's the thickness and the viscosity of the syrup.
This makes it difficult.
There's just, I've never had one where the stickiness doesn't get everywhere.
Here's what you need.
What do you want?
Are you doing that pancake?
Nope.
You know those, because it's so thick and the, because of the stickiness, like it wants
to adhere to whatever lip comes out.
Yeah, I just, there should be a technology that has
I think it's the stuff in bars where they push the shot glass against the bottle. Yeah, and it dispenses
Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah touch any of the or you can have like a teflon
coated the tip of the
Of the container so that it just slides right off
My hydrophobic. Yeah, it's like oh, and then you get like PBFA is there whatever?
Yeah, forever chemicals in your pancake. Yeah, the um like, oh, and then you get like PBFA, is there whatever? And you get forever chemicals in your pancake.
Yeah, I think I agree because like see that maple syrup bottle right there, classic maple
syrup bottle shape, we need to stop being complete adherence to tradition.
Also, what's up with that stupid little handle?
What's up with that little key ring?
I want to say that's just like a stupid.
I think it's just for aesthetic. Don't make this
What am I carrying it on a lanyard?
Necessary that's what that's what Canadian is do we carry a maple syrup on lanyard. Yeah, it's right to the hang it off a
Geo is that full?
I think it's to like put around a St. Bernard's neck. So I don't know
Probably there's a lot of purposes that make more sense to what it's actually for,
which I think maybe it's just a classic look of maple syrup bottles for pouring it.
110 calories per serving, 12 servings.
It's actually not as much as I thought.
But what is it? I mean, what is this actual syrup?
And now you're still in forever.
Organic maple syrup.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
I thought it would be like sugar water or something.
I mean, it just look a lot more liquidy than a typical maple syrup.
Maple syrup is usually a little thicker.
That's why I didn't think it was actual.
Well, because like, there's like grades, right?
There's like, it's like, how pure?
How, yeah, whatever the, it's like triple A plus graded maple syrup.
That's like, looks like molasses. It's like triple A plus graded maple syrup. That's like looks like molasses
It's like super dark and yeah, you gotta get your finger in it rub it on your gums, right? Yeah looks like used motor oil
It's just like oh my god
Now you're speaking my language
Anyone else think it was really speaking of drugs
And I was yeah, anyone else think it was weird that there was a breaking bad
themed Super Bowl commercial this year? Could I talk about the Super Bowl
commercials for a second? Let's do how God awful every single one of them was. Yeah,
it was a lackluster year. It's the breaking bad one. They were making pop
quarters. Pop chips. It was for chips. Yeah. And they're like Jesse and Walter
making them in the RV and they take them out to Tuko and they're like, we're making six flavors.
He's like, seven, make seven.
You know, they're like, oh, what?
They resurrected a show that's been off the air
for 10 years for top corners.
And the reason that is, folks, is because
ad people only watch prestige TV.
They are so out of touch with the rest of America.
It's like, certainly everyone will love this.
HBO show that's been off the air for nine years.
It's like that's what people in both of them want to do.
And I think that kind of is to your point, Barbara.
I felt like a lot of the commercials were just out of touch.
They, it's like, it was like there's a formula
that they all went by where it's like,
let's get these very recognizable celebrities.
It was celebrity year.
To do something very strange or off or random
or something like a little two on the nose
of what they're known for, like the Breaking Bad commercial.
Or a fucking John Travolta singing summer nights
but for whatever.
I couldn't even tell you what it was for.
I forget what it was.
It was a T-Mobile.
Oh, with the guys from Scrubs.
Like it was just, let's just throw all these like references
and celebrities into these things.
Well, I think a lot of people like to see
original costs come back together.
Well, I guess and people think no matter what it's for.
Well, I will, okay, how about this?
I have the counterpoint that proves Barber's point,
which was Ben Affleck working out at Duncan Donuts.
Sure.
I remember that one, he's like working the drive through and it's like,
what is this?
And then at the end, they have JLo come through
and it's like, I don't know if I saw that one.
Yeah, and then he's taking people's orders
and giving it to them.
And it's like, what is this?
I think Brian Gar had a tweet that was like,
oh, we love it when celebrities cosplay as us.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that was the way we were.
Yeah, that was the way we were.
We imitate us the poor.
They're just like us.
I think the only one I think I enjoyed a little bit
was I think it was the Will Ferrell commercial.
Was that for Netflix?
It was for GM electric vehicles.
Was it?
And Netflix, it's like we're putting GM electric vehicles
in Netflix shows.
Like what is this commercial?
Maybe that wasn't the one I liked.
There was only one of them where I was like,
this is good.
It was on Netflix shows. But yeah, yeah from what I from what I gather like
Everyone at every ad agency was like
We're not trying to like make a point or say anything. It's just celebs. We're just getting celebs
We're gathering them for a thing literally the absolute weirdest one
Which was Squarespace. Thank you squarespacearespace. Long time sponsor of the received podcast
with their Adam Driver Clothes.
Oh.
That was just like,
that was just a fever dream.
It was like, what am I watching?
Because it's just Adam Driver saying,
Squarespace is a website that can make websites,
a website that can make websites.
And then it was just Adam Driver's like,
expanding exponentially to like,
there's like a million Adam Driver's everywhere.
It was like, wow, what's happening?
I think there was one commercial which all of us collectively were just like,
what the fuck is this? It was two men in a bar fighting over which beer was better.
It was like, bud light, chorus light or something like that.
It was Miller light or chorus light. This is something.
Cors light commercials. Miller slug.
And they like kept talking about like, well, this one's cool and refreshing and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And like, well, this one's blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then they start fighting.
And it's a commercial for Blue Moon.
Yeah.
They're like, actually, this is a Blue Moon commercial.
And they put kind of blue in the camera.
Like, ah, Blue Moon, that famously chugable beer
that you definitely don't have just one of.
Because it's like the sweetest fuck.
It's like drinking fucking candy.
Oh really, I love Blue Moon.
I do too, I do too.
I think Blue Moon's delicious.
But I'm not like smashing like seven blue moons.
Oh no, definitely not.
It's not the same kind of beer as like a Miller light
or a four is like.
Right, it's not exactly,
I only ever have one beer when I go out.
So Blue Moon is perfect.
Exactly, exactly.
The one and done beer.
It's like, pours a Miller light where it's like,
you're gonna have eight of them at a baseball game.
It's like, you have eight bloom bloom bloom
and it's like a fucking baseball game.
They're gonna be carting you out of there.
Yeah. Yep.
There was the, what's this?
Ben Stiller doing the Pepsi commercial.
About like, acting really good, like good acting.
Yeah. That was a weird tagline.
It was like, is Pepsi Zero really good?
Or am I just good at acting?
Like, are you saying that your product shit
and you hired good actors to convince us that it's good?
Like, absolutely no, not thought through it all.
What's the message here?
I'm confused.
Why is it making fun of his own acting?
It was Ben Stiller.
There was one with Steve Martin
and there was one with...
One other person.
Martin, no.
I forgot who the other, there was another actor as well.
That, another like big name actor
who I can't remember for some reason.
And that's the thing is like,
they absolutely didn't learn their lesson
from, well, fortune favors the bull.
They didn't learn their lesson from like,
people will remember, in terms of, you know, as long as I've been alive,
like Super Bowl commercials get remembered
for their concepts, not who's in them.
Right.
Like it being very clever or so weird, it's funny.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like something that like bucks the trend
of what's actually all the other commercials
that kind of turn into white noise eventually.
It's like, oh man, that was really like, that was weird. That was like strange. That has like some kind of
that gained some sort of cultural purchase. Well, I think if you also you, how can I say, like if you
treat it with in a cinematic way, you can also have a lasting impression that way. Like this is a
super dumb commercial that I've remembered for decades, which was like the Budweiser horses playing football.
There was like a Super Bowl commercial for like 1990.
It's like a frozen field and you see like,
their breath coming out and it's like,
one of them kicks a field goal.
It's like, this is incredibly stupid,
but it was like, shot so beautifully.
I'm like, I'm gonna remember,
I'm gonna talk about this on a podcast in 30 years.
I got memories of commercials where I don't even remember the product, but I just remember
the commercial.
There's one where it's like in a pub in England and someone's like walking around with
a tray of drinks, but everyone's legs has been spliced with like Irish dances.
So everyone's like, well, crap.
I've seen that one.
It looks like 20 years old.
This was really, I remember it being like, looks really good at the time.
I was like, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the,
how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the,
how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the I was like, how the, oh my god, how did it do that? I think this is done. Oh, hell, hell yeah.
Oh, wow, that looks good.
It's like a whole cable.
Oh my, that's it.
It's filling much of the entire hot fucker.
Can you use the rice cooker again afterwards?
No, it's a one and a not only does it take 45 minutes
in ruins, you're right.
Yeah, it's the blue moon of pancakes.
It's the most expensive pancake ever.
I'm gonna have to stand up to try to extract this.
Oh, wow.
I don't know if you also saw the,
I think it was the tubi commercial,
where they, it looks like you're changing the channel
or changing the app.
And everyone, I was at like a small party for the Super Bowl.
Everyone was just like,
someone touched the remote, like,
oh, it's good,
because it looked like someone changed
what we were watching.
Oh my god.
Is it like a HUD and like scrolling through different things?
Yeah.
I saw something on Twitter today.
One of the, it was like a Reddit post
from a woman who, when that commercial happened,
this is not, by the way, this isn't funny.
So I'm gonna let me preface that.
Yeah.
A woman saw, like, it was,
that commercial, the 2B commercial,
where it like simulates that like,
you're leaving the thing and go opening the app.
And her boyfriend
like flipped out and started like screaming at her and like yelling and she's like I didn't touch the TV. I didn't do anything like did they break up immediately because I would have like he
and like even when she was like realized that it was like he didn't believe her but she didn't do
this.
He like punched a hole in the dry wall
and like started flipping out.
And then like of course when it was revealed,
when he did realize that it was a commercial,
like, oh I'm really, really sorry, I'm really sorry.
And she was like, the Reddit post was like,
so I packed my shit and left.
Yes, please.
And like went to my parents house
and like, we're fucking through.
Like that is like the biggest, ragged flag I've ever heard.
Maybe that's why that commercial exists.
To really take it.
Yeah, it's like at the end it just says true colors.
Yeah.
If anybody freaked out over this commercial.
Yeah.
And that really, yeah.
A real fucking bell weather for like,
if you're with a partner who like cannot manage
their feelings whatsoever.
Or missing a part of a game per five minutes.
For five seconds.
Just get the bottom. Yeah. Okay. What is it like the other way up? What's the better side?
That looks like this is the better side. I can't. I'm gonna have to touch it if you want me to flip it.
Just that looks like flon. That looks like flon. Yeah. It only cooks for 40 minutes.
I'm gonna miss this pancakes for you. Well, we don't even get to fucking stick
sick and sick and candles in that bad boy. It's a cake. It's a literal. It is a
full cake. If you're not watching the audio,
or the video podcast, you should come over to the earth,
you can't all the chicken out.
Before we cut it out, I want to get a picture of that thing.
I'm going to picture the thing before we go.
With film in it.
I mean, for you.
I like how Gus smiled for the camera, but like that camera.
That's what it comes for.
That's the thumbnail.
That's the thumbnail.
Can cake. That's the thumbnail. That's the thumbnail.
Can cake.
That really is. It's hard.
Is it hard?
Yeah.
That's up to when I was at the bottom.
Oh, it's got a crisp top.
You got to show us that cross.
Yeah, I'm curious to see how this cross
is held on the inside.
It's like a chocolate lava cake, only it's batter.
It's just amazing.
I was muted. How's like Was it muted? I like industrial fan in the chef area
Frank there we go. Is that my good?
Distinguished okay that looks it looks really good. We now go to our man on the scene Gus Sarola
Look at this. We're seeing on the cake. We got so we're down here. There's devastation everywhere.
The rice cooker, turn on the fast.
An incredibly fluffy pancake.
Put some soup on that.
Hector, you go first, man.
All right.
Take for steps here.
That looks amazing, and it actually looks cooked inside.
Looks amazing.
Yeah.
Whoa.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm super excited about this.
I thought this was going to be a disaster.
Yeah, that looks blotchy. If If I may this looks like it slaps
Is there anything more cringey than hearing Gus use a Gen Z
Yeah, it's pretty crazy no cap no cap. He's staying up to date. Yeah, oh look at that
We're keeping it up. I had to Google Gen Z slang the other day
The first sign you're up with the time.
Let me go ahead and Google.
I asked on Facebook and my boomers keeping touch group.
Man, oh man.
Is it good?
I don't know why I don't just delete Facebook.
I never check it.
And the other day I accidentally opened the app and I was like,
oh no, close, what the fuck am I?
That's the first sign I can delete.
You see all your friends who are still using it. Oh yeah, I know it's like, oh no, close, what the fuck about that's the first side of you? You see all your friends who are still using it?
Oh yeah, I know, it's like, oh my god, man, it really did.
The way my space turned into a ringtone porno dungeon.
Yeah, that was slice of that.
Let me go and press it around.
I'm gonna use my broken phone.
I got more forks in it.
Oh, okay, well then take it around.
I'll get what you think.
It's really good. Everyone cut off the trunk. I got more forks and I'll get what you think
Yeah, would you pass me a new fork
Yeah, they're prong they're prong set up
Hi, it's got sort of certain soggy look to it in the middle
I don't know play Scott's got real oony vibes. Look, look, look, the meter, the gauge,
to show how much rice and water to put in,
is baked into the side of the.
Oh my god, it's got the impression.
It's got the impression that it's measuring wine.
It says, it says, oh three on my bank,
and he's like, it's like, so we're in there.
Wow.
How much water?
I'm gonna write stuff later.
Okay.
I don't know which parts you think.
There's more plates than anybody wants them.
Yes.
Oh, thank you.
That's the rest of this for you.
This is like, it's also heavy as fuck.
Oh my god.
It's dense.
This is made of depleted uranium.
This is, that is a dense boy.
Jesus Christ.
This, this, this, have you have you ever had a Dutch baby?
You're giving that.
Oh, I have.
I just had one like a couple months ago.
What's a Dutch baby?
I gotta be honest.
There's too much metal.
I don't like it.
Oh.
I don't, I don't like it.
It looks incredible though.
It looks amazing.
It like, oh yeah.
I don't like it.
I don't like it.
I don't like it.
It's, it's just, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, be singing a different tune. Yeah, I bet Gus will like it out of spite
Listen
Mistakes were made it's not that it tastes it's not that it tastes bad. It's just a lot of pancakes
Like normally with the pancake you write to the ratio. It's like the cook part and the thin part
This is a lot of middle of the pancake and it's not that it's to the ratio. It's like the cook part and the thin part. This is a lot of middle of the pancake.
And that's not that it's undercooked.
It's just, it's too much.
Emphasis on the cake part of pancake.
How did I get water?
Well, it took the pan tile.
You all right?
What did I get water?
I got water on my sweater, senpai.
If you wash your hands earlier,
and like you leaned on the counter,
that'd be a bad idea.
Yeah, that'd be a bad idea.
Cause it was kind of a nail, yeah.
It's not that it's the taste bad or anything.
It's fine.
If anything, if I was gonna make this again,
maybe more sugar.
Like it's not quite sweet enough.
It's a lot of just,
sure, bland cooked flour.
I would say two,
some kind of,
like put strawberries in there,
some kind of ingredients to like break up the,
absolutely. The monotony of the center of that bacon. This is monotony. some kind of, like, put strawberries in there, some kind of ingredients to, like, break up the... Absolutely.
The monotony of the center of that bacon.
This is...
Monot.
Yes, mine.
No, I think you're absolutely right.
We do this again.
Love it.
Monotony center.
Oh, my gosh.
This turned out better than I expected.
The crust and this crunch on the outside's grate,
it's just a lot of soggy bread. Well, not even, like, it's just a lot of soggy bread.
It's just a lot of, why don't you sum some fruit into it and see what it says out.
Sums of fruit.
Dude, I feel like if we ever, I can even get it down.
I feel like, oh yeah, what do you mean?
We make one again, get Michael Jones to eat it for extra life.
An entire one.
He would do it.
Oh, God.
And the big.
I'm afraid.
He would do it. Mm-hmm.
Oh, God.
And have the biggest tummy ache.
The before-by-my-the-prep.
Yeah.
But it's strangely dry.
It's just the monotonous and...
This is not, and this is not to be xenophobic.
It absolutely tastes like a delicacy
from another country.
Well, you know what I'm saying?
It's like, it's like this, this super kick.
It's like, no, I'm like, it has like the,
because I agree like, there's something about like, the flavor of the center that's like, no, it has like the, because I agree, there's something about the flavor
of the center that's like.
Just off.
It's just not what I'm expecting in a pancake.
That's the other thing.
It's like, it's not what you're expecting
when you bite into a pancake.
It's also like, it seems like a cake, right?
Like you look at it and you think it's gonna be
like cake, density kind of like texture and it's not.
It's like too thick and kind of like texture and it's not.
It's like too thick and kind of like it.
It's funny because it's almost like a cheese
like the rind on the outside.
Yeah, it's protecting the inside.
Tyler, you wanna try any of this?
I don't know where you are.
Do you want some of this breed pancake?
We've hyped it up so much.
Would you like to try it?
I feel like it's an oddity.
It's an oddity, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I'm never gonna eat it again, but-
You didn't eat at the first time.
A few years ago, I was in Tokyo, and there was this place
that's known for their fluffy pancakes.
I think it was called flippers or something like that.
And it was, it reminded me of this,
because it's like they're kind of thick
and look almost biscuity, but it's just like so light
and airy and sweet.
Like everything you would hope that this would be. it's like if they took this and fixed it.
Is it off by the way?
Yeah, it's off.
Okay.
It's been off for a while.
I was like, you have your paper plates just standing.
I feel it in Japan.
Japan is great at bulbous, fluffy food.
They really are.
They really are.
I don't know what they are, but those like, I've seen them, they look like they're made out of skin, but they're not,
and they're like pastries, and they're often in the shape of like little pigs.
Skin pastries.
Some real, like, croninburg dessert.
I'm just driving.
Just driving.
But I've seen a lot of videos of people like slapping it with like a little spoon,
and it's like, it's not gelatin or anything like that, but it like...
Just jiggles.
Is it like a...
It jiggles.
Is it like a dumpling kind of thing or is it like?
Maybe, but it's, they're always sold in like sweet shops.
Pace free shops.
Do you know that?
I don't know what I'm talking about.
It's too early.
I've never been, I've never been to Japan.
I've never been to Japan.
I mean either.
They're open back up.
There's a time to go and you motherfucker with your stupid ass shirt.
I hate you.
I went, I've been wanting to go since before the pandemic and the
the fucking pandemic happened and the world shut down. It's been open for a while.
Yeah, I know that they just opened up Japan to tourism, like in November.
Yep. I didn't want to go. It's like two, it's gonna be too cold.
They I think they just opened the Super Nintendo World in California.
I think as of this taping last night was the grand opening.
I think that Miamoto out there. So the one in California is open.
I'm gonna go to the one in California before the one in Tokyo.
Just play a magical flute and it'll take you right there.
You just have to find like a white surface
and then duck down for three seconds.
Yeah, down for these seconds and drop behind all the,
when it beats the sick.
A sick Mara world heads out there,
or actually a Sumerbar 3 heads out there, sorry.
When it be sick, if they connected the two with a pipe.
Oh God. Kikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikik. Oh god. Kikooki kikooki. Brr brr brr.
Make that happen.
I'll give it a try.
Just get in this pneumatic tube and in 36 hours,
you'll be in Tokyo.
It's just spinning out skeleton.
Oh my god.
It's a big boy.
Stopped.
Boom.
Oh, we got a clog in the chute.
Can broom.
Send it out the way.
Yeah.
I really want to go to it all the way. Yeah.
I really want to go to Japan and to Super Mario World. Wasn't there also now like a Studio Ghibli Park as well?
It's like they open a theme park,
but in the most Ghibli way possible,
it's not rides or anything.
It's basically just like a section of forest
that you can go around and explore it.
And there's like movie Easter eggs hidden the forest.
That sounds sick.
Yeah, it's like, damn.
And it's like cheap.
I think I must say it's equivalent like 20 bucks
to get in or something.
It's like you contrast it to like big, super built out experiences
to like a universal or Disney.
And this is just like, hey, our movies are all about nature
and hanging out in nature.
So go out there.
We hit some stuff in the woods for you.
Sounds like a chill ass time.
That's what I like about it.
But speaking of food, jibbly food,
that's what I want.
If somehow they could make that animated food real.
That's like, you know, damn.
It's like the super ninja,
or super ninja.
It's like the teenage mutant ninja turtles pizza,
that pizza from the cartoon. With like the super ninja, or super ninja. It's like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pizza,
pizza from the cartoon.
With the cheese strings.
The cheese strings.
Nothing will look, nothing will taste as good as that looks.
There's something about animated food.
They just know how to really make you hungry.
But yeah, I think, weren't we gonna do,
I think we pitched a show to make it Rooster Teeth
where it was like trying to recreate anime food.
Like, it was like, make my anime, yeah.
Yeah, that was what it was called.
But I did like one, we did like one episode of it
or we did one episode of it with like Chef Mike,
I feel like was like, maybe, yeah.
Did I ever see the light of day,
or is that like in the vault, who knows?
Anyways, it was really good, and really fun.
And we should do it.
Right, do we talk about it on camera?
Now it has to come out.
Now it has to happen,. That has to happen.
Right to come.
Yeah, exactly.
It sounds great.
That was a big part in Final Fantasy XV.
I don't know if you all played it.
It was like, almost like road trip kind of game where you're like going out with your
buds and everything.
Like you camp out then at night, you know, you have to like decide what food you were going
to make and they were like, money shots of the food, like showing it cooking.
And the weird thing about that game was,
I think one of the sponsors was like Cup Noodles,
because every now and then in the world
as you're walking around,
there'd be like a big Cup Noodles delivery truck.
Or like one of the characters would be like,
Cup Noodles, that's the best kind of noodle.
It's my favorite.
It's like, what is this game?
Really, so just like, non-subtle product placement. Oh, no, it was like front
and said, like, sometimes like, the texture, it would load the low resolution texture.
But what is that? They were like, pop in the high resolution. Oh, it's cup noodles.
There it is. Yeah, I remember, I think it was one of the early splinter sell games that
was just like a blimp for a gun brand floating above like the map in the opening cut.
See, it's like, oh, air wave is gum. It's like, it's just so map. In the opening cutscene, it's like,
oh, air wave is gum.
It's just so weird.
And I think what was,
it might have been Rainbow Six Vegas
where one of the early stages,
you have to like go into a casino or something
and like rescue some hostages,
but like out in front of the casino,
there's like a Dodge Nitro vehicle
with like spotlights on it.
And like you can destroy everything else in the level everything's like
Interactable destructible but not the dodge and I tro that is always like pristine man
They they knew exactly who they were marketing to just a dodge nitro on the brainboast 6th
Yeah, do you think we'll get to the point where a billboard in a game is worth more money than billboards in real life
Like like if GTA had real ads instead of like,
sprung and shit.
Just like, one of those like, just advertising work,
just did.
Yeah.
Inside a video game.
Like, you're like, you're like,
you're like, you're like, you're like,
you're like, you're like, you're like,
you're like, you're like, you're like,
you're like, you're like, you're like,
you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like,
you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like,
you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like,
you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like,
you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like,
you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like,
you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like,
you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like video game or like that way, you could get real ads.
Because surely, way more eyes on that.
Like, surely more people see a billboard on the highway
and GTA than they do any single highway.
Oh, 100%.
Because everyone has the same highway.
No matter how way you play.
Yeah.
Interesting.
And if you stop to look at it,
you don't cause a collision where you die.
Are they, is GTA 6 happening?
There was a big leak. They didn't officially
announce it. Yeah. But there was like a lot of footage and information leaked a couple months ago.
GTA 5 came out what? 2014? 2013. 13. It was on Xbox 360. It was two console generations ago.
Wow. Christ. And it's still like one of the most successful entertainment products ever made, right? But they still make crazy money with online.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that game really never gets old.
Like it's so much fun.
And there's so much to do and so much creativity to that people.
Yeah.
Come on.
We got hundreds of episodes of I think just do from around.
I think we have another safe driver video coming out soon.
Oh, do we?
Yeah.
You're obeying traffic laws and stuff.
No, where the whole premise is that you have to race around the entire island, around
the entire map, you have to go against traffic.
If you hit a car, you have to get out and get into a different car.
If you hit a pedestrian, you have to swap two cars.
And if you had a cop car, you have to get into a cop car.
So it's kind of like a mad dash to avoid hitting anyone.
But if you do have cars in collision, getting out and getting into another car, so it's kind of like a mad dash to avoid hitting anyone. Then if you do have cause of collision,
getting into another car.
So it's like a lot of frantic moving parts
as you're all trying to race around the map.
And we're gonna do an immersion of that as well.
Yeah, it's gonna be the last immersion.
We call it the 405.
And we're going to LA for it.
What till it?
Let's go.
Yeah, that's the same.
Whenever I'm in LA, in a car,
I'm always flabbergasted that they allow lanes splitting for motorcycles there
Like allowing motorcycles essentially to drive into
Lanes in between cars because I'm just like people. They are so erratic and like
Swap lanes and are constantly like trying to get into the lane that's moving faster and I'm like I
Feel like there's probably so many accidents that happen. Of motorcycles trying to fucking zoom down in between the lanes and a car just like trying
to swap over.
Like if it was me, the only time I would think I would ever split lanes is if everyone's
at a standstill, like going like two miles an hour.
And then I'm like going three miles an hour.
But there's people who like, there we go.
Like straight.
Like speed or bike fucking like, yeah.
I think of pod racing. Yeah. You go, like straight, like speeder bike, fucking like, yeah.
I think they have a pod racing out there.
Yeah, yeah.
They have a coved out just a motorbike lane.
Like, like a little bit into the shoulder.
They should, I feel like the smart.
So that people that just rag it.
I think the closest you get is like,
they can drive in the H-O-B lanes.
Can they?
Yeah.
Okay, interesting.
Yeah, it's wild, dude.
Yeah, that's not much of a solution
It's like you go in this other really congested lane. That's slightly faster than the main lane
It's also wild to me that that exists like that's not like they don't have to drive in a lane
They could lane split that's allowed that that's wild to me
But I think what's even crazier is that there's no helmet laws in Texas. Oh, yeah, for motorcycles.
Nope.
So we're going to just honor.
You're just wearing a T-shirt without a helmet.
Yes.
For a kid.
It's pretty easy.
If you don't have nationalized health care, then it's like the wild west when it comes
to your own personal safety.
Fuck it.
Who cares?
If you, the search you're still bail riding around.
Right.
I mean, right, yourself, it's like it's not the government paying for it.
Yeah.
So it's like, it's on you and your private insurance.
It's a real dystopia.
Yeah.
She's so fucked up.
It's black guy giving Rhett to die instantly.
If anything happens to me on this bottom, it's motorbike.
Or to give me crippling debt for the rest of my life.
Seriously.
That's the reason behind not worrying about help.
It's like, look, if I get an ex this thing, I want to die.
I don't want to be in the hospital, saddled with it. I don't want to survive this
Yeah, with 900 broken bones speaking of HOV lanes. I'm sure we talked about this a couple years ago
But or maybe not several months ago
There was that woman in the Dallas area who got ticketed twice for driving in the HOV lanes
But by herself, but her rationale was,
oh, I'm pregnant, I can ride in the HOV lanes.
I did see that, well, because of the,
you know, the proposal laws that have to have to have to have.
Right, because of the role versus the way
getting overturned.
So she got ticketed twice,
and now I think they had to carve an exception into the law
to allow, legally allow pregnant women in the HOV lanes.
Hey, listen, if you're gonna, if you're gonna say that this is a human being, a person at conception or whatever
it is that they're trying to, you know, state then-
That was her whole rationale.
I was like, I can't-
I can't-
I can't-
I can't-
I'm a more pregnant woman.
It's double homicide.
Yep.
You know?
Absolutely insanity.
What a great state we live in.
What a dystopian. Someone reached out to me. So a great state we live in.
What a dystopian. Someone reached out to me. So a couple of weeks ago, I couldn't find anything to back this up. So I'm going to put a big asterisk on this. A couple of weeks ago, we talked about
an old story that we had talked about a long time ago, which was that woman who was on a plane,
the plane landed, that she was asleep and she says she woke up and
like everyone had de-plained and the plane was parked and off and she had to like try to
get someone's attention to get out of the plane.
Someone contacted me who said they work for an airline and they said that story ended
up being not true. Of course.
That the woman hid, waited for the plane to get parked,
and then came out.
Well, of course, no, it was going to be in their seat.
And like the flight attendant wouldn't notice that.
Right.
Yeah, they said internally, there was like a year long
investigation into it.
I couldn't find any follow up on that story.
All I could ever find was the headline.
Right.
So take it with a grain of salt.
Someone who says they work for the airline contacted me
and said that that ended up being not true
and that people had lost their jobs
and had to fight to get their jobs back because of it.
And that it was a whole ordeal.
And they went into a lot of detail,
which I don't want to go into because it'll identify them.
So big asterisk on that.
Like I don't know how,
why do you hide through that story? I don't know how... Why do you hide?
True that story was, I don't,
maybe like hide in the bathroom or something or...
Yeah, or maybe like behind the back row of chairs or something.
Right, like coat.
Safely stored in the overhead compartment.
Maybe.
Yeah, she, I mean...
Maybe.
Yeah, I don't know where she would have hid.
So, she just did it for a laugh.
Again, I don't know.
I couldn't find any follow up to the story.
So real like I have an uncle who works at Nintendo vibes.
I can't find any information about it but apparently this is true.

Thoughts.
Isn't it absolute rubbish?
It's not good, right?
It's just disappointing.
It's not that I'm mad at disappointed.
It looks, it smells really good.
And it tastes like, like, play-doh.
That's honestly a perfect way of describing it. It's got, it's got real play-doh? Yeah. That's honestly a perfect way of describing it.
It's got real play-doh energy, yeah.
Yeah, it's not that it's bad.
It's just not good.
I just can't.
It's not what you think it's gonna taste like.
It looks, I mean, you see, you're like,
this is gonna be incredible.
It's gonna be life changing.
It's a giant, it looks like a Japanese cheesecake.
It does.
I'm finding it difficult to swallow right now.
Yeah. Well, you also took a giant hunking around.
Alright, well they came over so excited and left just.
I know. Yeah, there's like the energy on the
