Fast Food Team Ups

A “spice level 2” sounded safe until it didn’t and that pretty much sets the tone for this one. We start with a quick pulse check and real talk about 10K training, sore legs, and why doing long runs after a brutal shift is a personal attack on your future self. Then we jump into a small win that turns into a big one: trying Indian food for the first time, breaking out of the fast food comfort zone, and realizing chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and samosas can be the reset button when nothing sounds good anymore.

Next, we get into the Street Fighter movie trailer and why video game movie adaptations live or die by tone. We talk casting, nostalgia, sound design that feels pulled straight from the games, and the difference between changing the plot versus changing the characters. If you care about “game accurate” adaptations, we dig into what that should mean and why campy fun can be the most honest choice.

We also hit a heavier moment with a Reddit story about a deaf stepdaughter being left out at family gatherings and the boundary her parents set: effort matters. We talk ASL basics, inclusion, and why “we don’t see each other enough” is a weak excuse when you’re claiming someone as family. After that, it’s back to chaos with fast food collaborations, limited time menus, collector hype, and a full debate on which brands actually try versus which ones just slap a label on a standard burger.

Pulse Check And 10K Training

SPEAKER_06 2:46

Come on now. Anyway. Come on now. Let's go around the room. Let's get some pulses.

SPEAKER_01 2:52

Hey, Macarena.

SPEAKER_06 2:53

Let's check some pulses. Uh, it is only myself, Grizz, and Yeti today. Uh Templeton is not unavailable. I don't know about all that. Um Miss Meseeks is not feeling so hot, so she's gonna sit this one out. But that's okay. I think the three of us can make it happen. So let's check some pulses and let's start with Grizz. Yo, what do your pulse look like? Good morning.

SPEAKER_03 3:23

Uh me pulse, me pulse looking good. I'm pretty chill. Um, I'm a little uh uh Poquito Cansado. Okay, um yeah, just a little tired. Um I ran so as we all know I'm preparing for a 10k in a couple weeks, and I need I've been a little lazy with my running schedule. I've only been running like maybe once a week. So this week I increased, I did two runs and a skateboard session, um, which was for just me. I just wanted a skateboard. But um I ran six miles two nights ago, and um I forgot that a 10k is 6.2. Yeah, because as soon as my watch hit six miles, I was like, oh thank god, because I didn't think my legs could go any further. Uh I was I was pretty spent. Um, because I I decided to run after one of my shifts. So working 10 hours, walking god knows how many 12,000 steps, and then went on a six-mile run. I feel like that's a lot of fun. That's a lot a lot, yeah. That's a lot. Um, that's a lot. I need to reserve, I need to be more con uh conscious of my work schedule and maybe reserve long runs to my off days. Um, probably a good idea, probably a bad idea. I didn't do that, so so I was tired.

SPEAKER_01 4:54

Yeah, that's where I dropped the ball. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 4:57

It's okay though. I'm gonna rest up today. Tomorrow's Monday. I'll probably rest up then as well, and then do a long run on Tuesday, which will suck for Wednesday, so maybe I'll run on Monday. I don't know. We'll see. Monday's 4 20.

SPEAKER_06 5:12

So yeah, you got you got some you got some time to figure it out. Uh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 5:16

Perfect time to do everything. Yeah, right? Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_06 5:19

Yeah, hell yeah, brother.

SPEAKER_03 5:21

I'm I'm excited though, and in two weeks I'll be home. So that's gonna be fun.

SPEAKER_06 5:26

Yeah, Skyline is calling your name, bro.

SPEAKER_03 5:29

It's calling your amorasia, all the spots. Molly Malone, we're coming through. Oh, I have a great gift card. I'm gonna bring it up. Oh shit.

SPEAKER_06 5:38

Yeah, we need we need to get some ice cream. We need to get some ice cream. That came out of Cincinnati.

SPEAKER_03 5:46

Post post 10K graders. I'm good with that. Hell yeah. Yeah, I mean, it'll be a little early, so maybe like like not right away, but it's all good. It's all good. What time to start? The race, I believe, is at like 7 a.m. And I've been on the average, yeah. So I've only ran two 10Ks so far in my training, and both of them took me over an hour, but one was like an hour and ten minutes, and I believe the first time it was like an hour and twenty minutes. Okay, and how many miles, how many miles is it for 10k? 6.2, 6.2.

SPEAKER_01 6:23

Oh, that's actually not that bad. And that's for the flying pig.

SPEAKER_03 6:26

Yeah, yeah, the flying pig 10k. Because I think the marathon happens on Sunday.

SPEAKER_01 6:32

Yes. So you're running Saturday then? Yes. I'm running Saturday, correct.

unknown 6:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 6:36

So what's the how long is the marathon then? I think they give them a five or six hour window, the average being like four and a half. And how many miles is that one? Uh 26. 26.3? Okay, so there's a little six point.

SPEAKER_01 6:55

There was a little bit of confusion with my with uh Yeti's brain. Okay. Uh-huh. When you said you were running the flying pig, I always thought the flying pig was the marathon.

SPEAKER_03 7:05

No, yeah, that's why I kept saying the flying pig 10K.

SPEAKER_06 7:08

So they have a they have a half marathon and then a 10K and then a full marathon. Yeah. And I think I think the half marathon, is that on Friday? Uh because I know it's I know it's May 1st through the third.

unknown 7:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 7:23

I don't know. Because I think Friday is like all the smaller races.

SPEAKER_06 7:27

Right.

SPEAKER_03 7:27

And then Saturday's the 5K and the 10K on 10K, and then Sunday is the half and the full on Sunday.

SPEAKER_06 7:35

Okay. I mean, that might be. It might make sense. I don't know. I don't remember it. I don't remember.

SPEAKER_03 7:42

I do want to run the half marathon next year.

SPEAKER_06 7:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 7:45

The half the flying pig half marathon.

SPEAKER_01 7:47

So okay, so the is the okay, the the 10k is it still considered the flying pig, or is or the whole is the whole thing considered the flying pig?

SPEAKER_03 7:57

The whole event, the whole weekend is flying pig, and then there's the flying pig marathon, flying pig half marathon, flying pig 10, 5. Gotcha. Flying pig is just like the event, right? Right. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 8:10

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 8:10

Yeah, yeah. Now yeti's all caught up. Yeah, I'm all caught up now. I'm probably not gonna do this, but this would be the time to do it. But maybe I'll wait until I do the half mare. But I was thinking of getting a flying pig tattoo, maybe on one of my legs, and then have have a flying pig wearing um like each medal. So like I was gonna have him like wearing a 10k medal, and then when I do the half marathon, I can have him wearing a half marathon medal. That'd be dope. Right, which was say like 13.1 or something.

SPEAKER_01 8:42

Yeah, yeah, that'd be dope. In my opinion, you should definitely get the tattoo when you come down. Because it's it's the same weekend that you do it, and it's the first the first weekend that you complete it and everything else. I just think it'd be yeah, I think in as a whole, it would be more memorable.

SPEAKER_03 8:58

Yeah, so if I did do the tattoo, it would be either in two weeks or next year when I run the half marathon. Um, because I also want to get my back tattoo worked on while I'm in town. And I don't know that I want to do two tattoos. Yeah, that's true. Because you'd be like, I'm really prioritized, prior to wow, prior prioritizing.

SPEAKER_06 9:21

I was gonna help me, but I would struggle with it. Moments passed, I'm done.

SPEAKER_02 9:25

Literally, I was like, I'm not doing it.

SPEAKER_06 9:27

He said, I I quit, I give up.

SPEAKER_03 9:34

That that was crazy.

SPEAKER_06 9:35

Oh, that's that's funny.

SPEAKER_03 9:37

Well, I don't think I've had a true misfire in person like that. Until just then.

SPEAKER_06 9:41

Wow, yeah, yeah. Welcome to the club. Yeah, now you know what Yeti goes through. This is Yeti's life. This is non-stop for him.

SPEAKER_02 9:49

I'm just hella humble. I you know what? I think I need to take a break. I'm gonna let the mic go.

SPEAKER_06 9:56

How do you do this? Show me your ways. How do you it's not it's natural with me now? It doesn't even phase me anymore.

SPEAKER_03 10:05

I'm new and I don't know what to do. Well, yeah, I think it goes the universe's way of telling me to shut up and let's move on with the show.

SPEAKER_06 10:13

Yeah, maybe. Uh Grizz, uh I'm I'm excited for you. Uh it's it's a big deal to be running marathons. It's a lot of work. It's a it's a hell of a lot of work, and you have been putting it in, and we're super proud of you, dude. So yeah, yeah. I appreciate that. Yeah, yeah. Keep keep that shit up. So, Yeti! Yes. What does your post uh look like? It'll look like a mask.

SPEAKER_01 10:41

Well, about an hour ago, uh-huh, it was a little high. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 10:49

Yeah?

SPEAKER_01 10:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 10:51

Because we're about to have a very interesting conversation.

Trying Indian Food Outside The Box

SPEAKER_01 10:54

Yeah, we are. Because your boy went out of his fucking comfort box and tried some Indian food last night. Oh, nice. What'd you go? Yeah. It was it was it was it was pretty dope. Um uh, I got remember the tables and the words. Welcome to I'm the president of the Can't Speak Club, and here we are. I got chicken tiki masala. Chicken tiki masala.

SPEAKER_03 11:19

Hey, you did it.

SPEAKER_01 11:20

Yeah, he did it.

SPEAKER_06 11:22

You did it. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Even the kids are happy.

SPEAKER_01 11:29

You nailed it. So, um so I I'm weird about trying new things, okay? I I said this before with with Jay and some other people, but like if I'm buying the food for myself and I don't like it, I kind of get upset and frustrated because I spent however X amount of dollars for that new food and I didn't like it. Where my brain goes, I could have spent that money on my typical in the box food and been perfectly fine and happy with my food. Now I gotta spend more money to get to fill my belly because I didn't get what I want, should have it. Whatever, anyways.

SPEAKER_03 12:05

To fill my belly.

SPEAKER_01 12:06

Yes, go ahead.

SPEAKER_03 12:08

I have a question. Is it does it stem from spending money, or does it stem from you don't want to try something new?

SPEAKER_01 12:16

I think it comes from money, to be quite honest with you. I I honestly think it's I I can relate to that.

SPEAKER_03 12:20

I get frustrated with food when I find out the price.

SPEAKER_01 12:23

Yes, yes, and I'm like, yeah. So I think it stems from money, and just like I just feel like I'm wasting money on something I didn't like. I again I didn't know if I was gonna like it or not, but I didn't like it, and my mind goes, Well, if I would have just stayed in my box and just went to my little area over here, I could have just got what I knew I would like. I mean, here's the thing even when I go to the fast food restaurants, I get the same fucking let me go get the number one, let me get the number one, let me get the number one. I never go outside of it because I know that's what I like, I know it's what I'm gonna eat.

SPEAKER_06 12:52

He's a creature of habit.

SPEAKER_01 12:53

I am a very big creature of habit. Now, if you if I'm out with people and they're like, hey, I'm gonna get you whatever you want, and we go to a new restaurant. If you don't pay for it, because if you pay, then it's whatever. That's why I I'm almost I'm pretty positive it's it's a money thing. Um but we went to it's my it's my wife's birthday weekend, and we went to Mexican on Friday, and it wasn't nice, it was very blind. It was like the whitest Mexican food that we've ever tasted. And yeah, it was it was just it was just they put broccoli in the salsa?

SPEAKER_06 13:30

Like they did, they did like they added like they added raisins to his enchiladas, yes, yeah, goddamn miracle whip. Who put my god who put these goddamn raisins in my enchiladas?

SPEAKER_03 13:48

We collectively have to do better, we yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:53

But but no, but like okay, I'm a sides guy also. Like my sides have to taste just as good as the man corps. I just feel like like you can't you can't outcast sides, like you gotta show the sides love. You know what I'm saying? I just that's the way I think. And I ate my beans and rice, and it was just very bland. I was like, ugh. No seasonings, no seasonings, yeah. No seasoning was so now the the the chimichonga was fine. Are we putting this restaurant on blast or no?

SPEAKER_06 14:22

Nah, I'm not gonna do that. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Because he might make a return one day.

SPEAKER_03 14:29

Yeah, just to just to see if it was you know was it? Wait, hold up, hold up. I have a couple more questions.

SPEAKER_01 14:35

Yes, he's gonna get the answer out of me and he's gonna fucking try.

SPEAKER_03 14:40

I'm not gonna I'm not gonna ask about the name.

SPEAKER_05 14:42

He's gonna say, what does what does the name rhyme with?

SPEAKER_02 14:49

That's crazy. I almost said something, and I was like, nah.

SPEAKER_03 14:54

How were the margs? Were the drinks good or was the food like I didn't get a margarita, I got a beer.

SPEAKER_01 15:00

And then like, so I got a I got a big old a big ol' fucking like the heavy duty like like Thor pitcher. No, I don't do yeah, I don't do that. Just give me a give me a cold frosty mug and a beer. And girl, we gotta get you margs. And the beer was not in a frosted mug. It was a deer, it was like a lukewarm mug. No, there was no frost on the beer, and I'm like, that's that's that's red flag number one.

SPEAKER_03 15:25

No, that's number well. I guess the beers did come before the food.

SPEAKER_01 15:28

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:29

So they got two strikes. How was the bathrooms?

SPEAKER_01 15:33

I never went. I never went, I never went, I never went, I never went. He's about to go to Young. He's gonna find out where you went. One star review. But this was I was just really, really upset. So, long story short, my wife was like, Man, I really wanted to try some some or try some have some Indian food. And we went out and did some uh gallivanting. We had adventure day yesterday, so I was like, you know what? Let's go to Jot down there in Newport. And we went to Jot Indian restaurant, and it was delicious. And the one thing I was afraid of is like the spiciness, because I've never tried it before, and I'm like, Well, how spicy is spicy? Like, I know one's probably gonna be really mild and no spice at all. It's like so let me do a two or a three, and then my wife was like, Well, I'll do a three, you get a two, and that way if you don't like it, or if you do want a little bit more, you can get mine, whatever. So I went with a two, and it was great. But my but my heart rate was up a little bit because no one informed me that it comes in as a number two and it comes out as a number four.

SPEAKER_06 16:39

So just so we're clear, that depends on on your level of of sturdiness in your stomach, right? Like how how iron is your stomach? Because two is like nothing in an Indian restaurant. It's really not really it really is nothing. I I usually go three or four. Four if I'm feeling really froggy, three usually, because that is like the perfect level of spice for me uh at like every Indian restaurant, doesn't matter where I go. So what I was hearing today, he was like, Oh man, you didn't tell me this stuff didn't was was gonna come out at at a at a four. I was like, I was like, ooh, my boy couldn't handle the flavor. That's crazy. Like that's that's wild. That's wild. Yeah, that means like you don't yeah, you don't do a lot of spices. That's that's what that tells me is you don't do spicy very often. I love spicy. Like I I I don't like I don't like people to spice it up so much to where it's just hot just to be hot. I like flavor, you know what I mean? I like flavor, I don't want it to be burning my face off and I'm breaking into a sweat because they're like, yeah, I added, you know, Carolina Reaper, Habanero, and all the other hottest peppers that you could possibly find. The ghost pepper. Yeah, let me tell you. And I added four of each, and it's like that's crazy. Like, that's absolutely asinine. You don't need that, that's unnecessary. No, you could use like one, yeah. Half a one. Yeah, half a one. If you want to, if you want to do all of them, do half a one. And it's like that's just don't be the batch so big. Yeah. And it's like, I don't know. Some people are crazy with it. But when he told me that today, I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what that's that's you gotta you gotta get your tolerance level up.

SPEAKER_01 18:29

That's that's to be fair. It wasn't it wasn't really a four. I was being dramatic when I told him that. It was like a it was like a five. It was like a two point five, it was like a two point five. It was just a little hotter coming out than it was coming in. It was like a five. She's like, guys, I'm dying. So I'm just glad I had a bidet, cooled that shit off.

SPEAKER_03 18:50

Did you enjoy the Indian food though? That's my oh fucking.

SPEAKER_01 18:53

I honestly I can't wait to go back. And then I forgot to add that we also, so my wife got some appetizers. She got garlic non, which was nice, fucking delicious. Standard. Um, and then she got um was it tiki fries or tika fries, yeah. Oh ticker fries, okay. So it's tikka fries, which is basically like tikka masoo, it's like on fried. Tickamassu.

SPEAKER_06 19:17

Did you hear what he call it? Tickamasoo.

SPEAKER_01 19:19

No, let him do it. Don't draw attention to it. Shut up. I hate it here. I knew I knew I was about to fuck it up.

SPEAKER_06 19:31

No, it's all good. He said, Don't draw attention to it.

SPEAKER_01 19:34

So anyway, so we we did that, and then she got um oh what the fuck is it called?

SPEAKER_06 19:40

It's called Samosas. She got she got the samosas.

SPEAKER_01 19:45

Yeah, samosa chat. Samosa chot, yeah. Yes. Which has chickpeas and some other stuff. And to be honest with you, I think I like that the best. It was pretty good. You like hummus? I I don't think I like hummus.

SPEAKER_06 20:02

I think I've tried it before, which is weird because it's just it's just mashed chickpeas.

SPEAKER_03 20:06

Yeah, that's why I was uh that's what I was getting at. Really? That's what hummus is? Hummus is chickpeas just mashed, blended. Kind of like mashed potatoes. Man, somebody's probably gonna get mad at me, but this is how my brain looks at it. Here we go. It's like India, India's version of guacamole.

SPEAKER_01 20:25

Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but no, I can kind of see that though. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 20:30

That's why that's why I went with the mashed potato reference, because that's basically like kind of kind of sort of that. Kind of sort of like that. It's just mashed peas. That's all it is. Mashed chickpeas. Yeah. I love hummus. I love the fuck out of hummus. That's pretty good.

SPEAKER_03 20:43

Dude, I used to eat the shit out of it. Yeah, hummus is. Like in college, yeah. Oh man.

SPEAKER_06 20:48

Fabulous. Get get me some pita chips and hummus. Oh my god. I could that's that's it. You know what? That's my I'm getting I'm getting some pita chips and hummus. But even some carrots. Oh my god. Celery? Celery? Oh, Jesus Christ. Well, I've tried different flavors of hummus.

SPEAKER_01 21:07

I'm gonna get out of the hummus for some reason.

SPEAKER_06 21:08

Which is weird.

SPEAKER_01 21:10

I wonder if it's the texture.

SPEAKER_06 21:12

It could be, or it could be the uh the spices, because obviously hummus. Yeah, hummus is gonna have a totally different flavor, and typically they don't spice it up like they do, like what you had on the on the samosa chat.

SPEAKER_01 21:24

Like you don't you aren't gonna get all I know is a samosa chat was fucking delicious.

SPEAKER_06 21:28

You're not you're not gonna get curry.

SPEAKER_01 21:30

I cannot wait to go back. Now, granted, I don't have anything because it's like my first place? Newport. Newport. Newport. Yeah, it's right, it's right next or across from uh Newport Gaming Center. Okay. It's on the sidewall of Newport Gaming Center. You know where uh GameStop used to be? Yeah, yeah. It's that it's that building. Okay, see it's at it's at the other end of that building. Because GameStop used to be over near uh AutoZone. Yeah. If you go to the end of that movie.

SPEAKER_03 22:03

Is that ace still there? Hardware? Where were you? Like, uh so you're talking about the game center. Ace was at that corner, like near the Taco Bell. Because there's AutoZone and then Gold Star, Taco Bell, like going down towards the Planet Final. Oh, it's going down toward Planet Fin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So in that side, the Ace was like near the Taco Bell. And then you like drive past. There's like, I guess there's isn't it like a casino? Is that the game center you're talking about? Yeah, yeah. That's a Newport Game Center. And then like GameStop was like on the other side somewhere.

SPEAKER_01 22:41

Yeah. It's you're you're in the right.

SPEAKER_03 22:42

Is that Crunch still there?

SPEAKER_01 22:44

Yes, I think the Crunch is still there. Nice.

SPEAKER_03 22:47

Yeah, I used to go to that Crunch Fitness. Crunch Fitness.

SPEAKER_01 22:51

No, you know exactly where it's at, but yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so it's in there. Sick. They are closed though, because Emily's trying to go there a couple different times. Um I think between between 12, 12 and 4, or 2 and 4, 2 and 3. 2.30 and 4.30. They're closed. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. So for whatever reason. And we've gone there, we've gone there twice and interchange. Yeah. Yeah, and we've gone there twice and we've gotten burned by them being closed at the random hours. Well, not yesterday. Nice. Well, we we googled what time they opened, and we realized then and we had to kill more time, which then made it an adventure day.

unknown 23:36

Nice.

SPEAKER_01 23:37

Adventure day.

SPEAKER_03 23:38

Uh, if you're ever up in Oakley, there's a really good Indian restaurant I like called uh Baba India.

SPEAKER_03 23:47

Write that down. We're gonna have to try it. Yeah, I can send you the pen.

SPEAKER_01 23:52

Yeah, yeah. Send me the pen or something. Put it in. Here. Here's the other thing. Here's one thing I really, really liked about it is I again I live in a box, so I'm always getting your McDonald's, your Taco Bell, your Wendy's, your Burger King, your Penn Station, your Scottish.

SPEAKER_03 24:08

All those almost do come in a box. Yeah. Yeah. Right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:11

Yeah. But no, but like, so like you get to a point where, like, hey, what do you want to eat? And then like you're like, I don't know. Nothing really sounds good. Uh-huh. So I've not had Indian. So when I had this, it was like, it was refreshing because it wasn't it wasn't what I normally eat. And I was like, oh, this is this is really fucking good. And it was really fucking good.

SPEAKER_03 24:30

Typically, would you say?

SPEAKER_01 24:31

Go ahead. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_03 24:32

Go ahead. No. No, I was making a dumb joke.

SPEAKER_06 24:35

No, make your joke. That's what I please make your joke. We live on. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 24:40

I was gonna say, would you say it was a whole new Oh my god, wait, wait, wait.

SPEAKER_01 24:48

Yeah, that's pretty bad. Or the joke. Yes.

SPEAKER_06 24:52

We don't need a joke.

SPEAKER_02 24:53

It was bad.

SPEAKER_06 24:54

Yeah, yeah, that was bad. That's crazy. That's crazy. I'm sorry, people. I shouldn't have pushed it. I would just I I I was just telling him the other day when he was talking about that. He was like, you know, he discussed before some money thing, you know. Well, I uh I don't like it, so I could have spent my money. Hindsight's always 2020, right? You don't know you're gonna like it until you fucking try it. You gotta try it, and you're gonna have to spend the money to try it, unfortunately. Right. But he's he's he's mostly like, I'd rather not. I'll let somebody else get it.

SPEAKER_01 25:27

Which is weird to me that I know I'm gonna like which is weird to me.

SPEAKER_06 25:36

But now they're out of money. Yeah, because it's not my money. But then pay me back. Pay me back, pay me back. That's not the conversation, then pay me back, then pay me back. That's why that's why that's why pay me back, bro. Then pay me back. You're mad, you're mad if you spend the money, but you're not mad if I spend that's crazy word. Pay me back. Pay me back. It's not my money, bro.

SPEAKER_05 26:02

Pay me back. No, the same person that would go to eat with a bunch of people about to buy my food.

SPEAKER_06 26:10

Exactly. While his wallet sits in his car. I'm a cheapo. That's that's wild. That's crazy work to me.

SPEAKER_01 26:19

Anyway, yeah, whatever.

SPEAKER_06 26:21

I'm glad you stepped out of your comfort zone and and tried some Indian food. It's we've been telling you for the longest time it's delicious. But you just think whatsoever.

SPEAKER_01 26:32

And she was like, I know for a fact you're gonna like it once you eat it. I mean, I know what you like and don't like. And as soon as I took my first bite, I was like, even their fucking white rice. Like I just had their the the rice just plain. And I was like, damn, even this tastes good. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 26:48

I love a good naan though. Anyway, yeah, it's it's it's a great I just put a lot of time on.

SPEAKER_01 26:53

No, it's all good.

Street Fighter Trailer And Casting

SPEAKER_06 26:54

It it's all good. It it goes well with the main topic for today. But we do have some entertainment news to get through, and I want to burn through this real quick because I know we started late and I want to get everybody out of here on time. The thing I want to talk about is obviously the big elephant in the room. The Street Fighter trailer was released, the full trailer. I don't know who all seen it by show of hands, who all checked out the Street Fighter trailer. Okay. Now I'm going to ask, what are what are our thoughts? Are we excited for Street Fighter? Yes. Okay. Yeti? It looks like you have a lot to say.

SPEAKER_01 27:32

I do have a lot to say. And it's gonna be verbal diarrhea as soon as I start, so I'll let Grizz finish his thoughts.

SPEAKER_03 27:38

Uh I I mean, I really don't have a lot of thoughts on the matter. I I okay, here's here's what I will say. I will always enjoy movies that take risks, um, do something that isn't being done right now. Like I feel like after watching that trailer, the people that are making that movie have decided we don't care what the rest of Hollywood is doing, we're gonna do what we want to do. Right. And I respect that. It's it's fun, it's uh it well, the trailer makes it seem like it's gonna be fun, kind of corny, um, but like it's based off of a video game, and video games are kind of corny and a little over dramatic, and I think that that's kind of important to have that um, contrast, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because like right right now, I mean, personally, right now the world sucks. So, like movies just being fun and loose, like I'm I'm here for it. Yeah, those are my shorts, my short notes. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. I like it, I like it.

SPEAKER_06 28:49

So, Yeti, you said verbal diarrhea.

SPEAKER_01 28:52

Yeah, so I'm pretty much gonna go off of what he said. And if you play any of the Street Fighters, I mean, even as they've gone into their new modern era, they're they've always been over the top. Like Sangeef grabbing a player and doing a 1260 in the air and coming down on their head. Like, who what human can do that? Okay, so it's obviously, yeah. I mean, sand geef, obviously. So it's just that game itself is just over the top. And but here's the thing that's why we love it. Right. You do these crazy fighting moves, you you you know, these Chun Li, the thousand kick, or I Honda, the thousand fists. Yeah, like like it's just over the top. It's action, it's fun. When I watch this trailer, I literally got like the old 90s campy, over-the-top feeling. And here's the thing I think it's gonna it doesn't take itself seriously, I think. It's gonna have that goofiness that Grizz was talking about, and I think it's gonna be a perfect blend of goofiness, seriousness, and just fun to watch. And I think when we watch it, we're gonna get that nostalgia feeling because if you listen to the sound effects, a lot of the bones crunching and the punches, those are sound effects from the Street Fighter games. Oh, that's cool. I didn't pick that up. Yeah, and then when you hear like the little like there was a fight, and when when I think it was when Ken jumped up on the ropes or someone jumped on the rope, and someone in the background yelled, perfect! Yeah, like it's little shit like that. Um, there was a there was a clip where you seen people like fighting in the background and they smashed their head with a trash can. Yeah, those are background characters on stages when you're fighting, when you're playing in the fight game. Yeah, so it's little stuff like that that I'm gonna see and be like, ah, that's funny as fuck. Like, I think it's just gonna be fun. And I and going to what Chris said, I think it's going to be exactly what people need to watch to kind of relax from what's going on in the world. Just escape from the world for an hour and 30, hour and 45 minutes, however long the movie is, and just enjoy it. Just take it for what it's worth, and I guarantee you it's gonna be a lot of fun.

SPEAKER_06 31:06

Very nice, very nice. Good thoughts, good thoughts. Um, I will be the Debbie Downer and say, you know that there are gonna be people that are gonna bitch about this movie to the high fucking heavens and be like why isn't it more serious?

SPEAKER_04 31:21

This is blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Why what what what do you Street Fighter should not look like this?

SPEAKER_06 31:28

I'm like I don't know kidding. So I know I mentioned uh we talked about it we talked about the trailer, well the teaser a few episodes ago, and I did mention the like the colors that they have on there, like the color scheme that they went with. It is very reminiscent or it runs very parallel with Street Fighter Six. I know I and and and just coming from somebody who when I had COVID, that's all I played, because it had just came out, and I was like, fuck it, I'm buying it, and I spent an entire week playing nothing but Street Fighter 6. Create a character, all that kind of stuff, and it and and again it had a very a very colorful, more like wall art graffiti style feel to everything that it had, and I feel like that's what they're trying to capture in the movie with the with like I said, with the color scheme and everything. And then the characters themselves, I love the fact that it looks like Ryu, Ken, and Akuma are going to be like the three serious points in the film because with Street Fighter, even in the animes, that's how it always was. Like Ken, Ryu, and Akuma were always like the the serious focal point of Street Fighter. Because when Street Fighter first came out, it was the story of Ryu. It followed Ryu going through this tournament and and you know trying to become stronger. And then Street Fighter 2, it just kind of like they lost the plot a little bit and just kind of turned it into, you know, everybody just kinda has yeah, it's a fighting game and everybody kind of has their own little story that they're that they're gonna follow. And that's why there was incentive to replay it because you wanted to get everybody's little side story, right?

SPEAKER_01 33:07

Exactly.

SPEAKER_06 33:08

Street Fighter 6 kinda It kinda doesn't do that, especially with the creative character. You you make your own story, right? Like you are you are your character and you go from literally a weak a weak character to you are now mastering every fighting style that all the main characters from Street Fighter have, and you become, you know, this unstoppable force, which kinda is the story of Street Fighter. So it tells the story differently, but you got all these characters that are already they're established, they're veterans, they know what they're doing, right? And you're just they're just passing down their knowledge to you. And I love the fact that the those three are going to be like the one thing that is like the focal whatever. Because Bison obviously is in it, and let's just discuss some of the people that are that they cast for it, because Andrew Koji from Warrior is Oh my god. He's fucking awesome. And and him being Ryu, like, I have a feeling you're gonna we're gonna watch this movie and be like, there's nobody else that could play this role now. There's nobody else that could play Ryu if they ever decide to try to pull some dumb shit and be like, you know what, we're gonna we're gonna reboot the franchise again. Because how what what what number of movies is this? We had the original Street Fighter from the 90s.

SPEAKER_01 34:31

This is this would be this would be the third Street Fighter movie.

SPEAKER_06 34:34

Is it because no, because we had the we had the Street Fighter from the 90s, and then we had Kristen Kirk as tr as Chun Lee. Right. The the the Chun Lee story, and then I thought I could have sworn we had a third one.

SPEAKER_01 34:46

No, so you but you have TV shows that were played elsewhere. Okay, well there's a TV show that it was it was borderline, and then you had the Jackie Chan one.

SPEAKER_06 34:58

Yeah, which is really that doesn't count. It's like a skit or whatever. Yeah, that doesn't count. But I mean you also have the animes and and all that jazz. Right. But regardless, like Street Fighter has struggled on the big screen. It it just has. So if they're I wonder why. It just video game concept. Again, as as I've been, as I've always said, they take the name the characters and they just they deviate hardcore from the characters themselves. Like just seeing the trailer, every character feels like it feels like you're watching a trailer for a Street Fighter game, right? Like that's that's the feeling that you get. With the old Street Fighter, it was campy, it was cheesy. It didn't feel like Street Fighter though, right? Like Van Dam, I don't think really like encapsulated who Guile. I mean, kinda sort of, but like I don't think he really got what Guile was. Ryu didn't feel like Ryu. Ken was just there. Dalseam being the scientist doing stuff. I was like, what what is this? Like he's supposed to be like the spiritual guy that is a I don't know. Anyway, um the the Chun Lee movie, whatever.

SPEAKER_01 36:12

I I mean it was it was it was it was it was not good. It just was not good, plain and simple.

SPEAKER_06 36:17

They just did the best that they could with what they had, I guess. R at the time, right? Yeah, at the time. So but now we have like this whole thing, like I said, just watching the trailer feels like Street Fighter, and that's what gets me super excited because I've been a huge Street Fighter fan since I can remember. And I love the stark contrast between Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. Oh, Mortal Kombat, the new ones, 2021 and then the Mortal Kombat 2 that's coming out.

SPEAKER_01 36:43

2026.

SPEAKER_06 36:44

They are really, really save for Johnny Cage, which I think they're killing it with him right now. Facts save for his character, everybody seems very serious. Which Mortal Kombat was a more seriously toned game than Show Fighter was. So it really is nice to see that us as video game fans are kind of eating a little bit with the new adaptations that are coming out. Like they've they've they've not missed so far.

SPEAKER_01 37:17

And it's like it's funny you say that though, because like if you go back into time with Marvel, when Marvel first started, everyone was like, dude, movies need to be comic accurate, comic accurate. And then now that these fighting games and then this this this these game movies are coming into play, people are allowed starting to chant, yo, these movies need to be game accurate. Like we need to see these games exactly on the screen. Now again, as Jerry as Jay has said, you can you put these characters put if you put these exact characters on the screen and kind of change the story a little bit to make it your own, make it unique, then that's cool. But give us what the characters are, give us their personalities, give us their storylines, but change the overall plot or something like that. You know, but give us the original pieces and we'll be happy. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 38:10

Yeah, because it's it's you can literally send them on whatever adventure you want to. Just make sure that they are the characters that are going on this adventure. Like stay true to who the characters are. Obviously, make your make your movie feel like the universe that they're coming from. Like, don't just Right, right.

SPEAKER_01 38:27

Don't yeah, don't put them in like a military or not military like don't be don't be goofy.

SPEAKER_06 38:32

Fantasy world or something like that. Right, don't be goofy with it and like send them to space or something. Yeah, no, that's just Street Fighter in space.

SPEAKER_03 38:39

But if you're going to like just understand the the game, right? Right, you could probably do Street Fighter in space.

SPEAKER_01 38:47

To be fair, you probably could. It'd be very good. You could do an old PlayStation thing, yeah. No, because then you start you start to mesh it kind of like with the Dragon Ball Z kind of thing, where other planets have warriors that are equivalent or stronger than what we have, right?

SPEAKER_03 39:02

Um I wasn't even thinking of that. I was just thinking that there was some space program and they decided to have a battle, like a fight on the moon, and yeah, like there's the Rocky Rocky 7 taking place on the fucking moon.

SPEAKER_06 39:16

You know, Space Force, Street Fighter style. That's that that's exactly how that's exactly exactly how that would look.

SPEAKER_01 39:24

But no, um no, it just marked this day because if something like that were to ever happen, it came from this. It better not. Yeah, I do. All I'm saying is don't do it. Could you imagine?

SPEAKER_03 39:34

I'll just take five percent. That's all just five percent.

SPEAKER_06 39:37

I'm not greedy. That's all I need.

SPEAKER_03 39:38

Yeah, I'm not greedy.

SPEAKER_06 39:39

So let's just run down this list real quick of everybody they got so we can we can move on from this topic. But Roman Reigns as Akuma. Um, I had no idea that he played in Hobbes and Shaw. I never watched the movie, so I wouldn't know.

SPEAKER_03 39:53

Oh, I don't think I've seen Hobbes and Shaw.

SPEAKER_06 39:55

But yeah, Roman Reigns as Akuma. He looks he looks he looks pretty dope. Jason Momoa as Blanca, which it's all CGI, which I'm okay with.

SPEAKER_03 40:04

It is. Wait, so he's not even in there? Is they just CGI his body?

SPEAKER_01 40:08

He there is a there's a resemblance. It's it's like Mark Ruffalo's Hulk.

SPEAKER_06 40:15

Yes, it's it's like yeah, it's kind of like how they're there, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 40:19

He's mocapped.

SPEAKER_06 40:20

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 40:21

I see, I see.

SPEAKER_06 40:22

But he look he looks good. Like from what from what I've seen, he looks good. So if you compare the 90s to this Blanca, yeah, because it was all the 90s Blanca was all prosthetics and makeup.

SPEAKER_03 40:34

Yeah, would you rather they do prosthetics? Uh or do you think that this is gonna be better?

SPEAKER_06 40:40

I think this is gonna be better. Because if I if I had to guess, they probably did a mix. They probably they probably like gave him some stuff on his face to make him really resemble Blanca, and then the rest of it, they were like, we can motion capture because uh all in all faces are hard to CGI, correct. And and all in all, like all of that doing motion capture, it is a lot of work, it's a ton of work, and it does make it easier if you are resembling what you're trying to look like to begin with. It truly does, it makes it easier to to to mix and blend and all that kind of shit on uh uh uh in post. So it's like I would I would I'd venture to say it's a mix of both, and I think they've over the years have gotten a lot better with it. And like I said, he just he looks good. So I'm I'm kind of excited to see that. Now, Mel Jarnson uh as as Cammy, she played in 2021 Mortal Kombat and Beast, which I had no idea. I seen Beast and I I loved that movie. I don't know if y'all seen it, but but Cammy, uh I I'm I am curious if this is something that uh people would have an issue with. She is Thai uh she's a Thai Australian actress. Will they be upset because they didn't pick out somebody who's British to play Cammy? Because Cammy's from the UK.

SPEAKER_03 41:55

People will be upset.

SPEAKER_01 41:56

Yeah, they're gonna be upset. Anytime you race swap or religion swap, it's the end of the world, apparently. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 42:02

Well, I think that comes from some deep-rooted uh uneducation, but but it's just I just have a problem with it.

SPEAKER_01 42:10

It's it's a video game or it's uh it's make-believe. Like, why are you getting upset with a fucking made-up character? That's that's just my two sins.

SPEAKER_06 42:18

They got upset with the Little Mermaid, so I can see them. I'm aware of it.

SPEAKER_03 42:22

Um here's the problem the the original creators of some of these products create characters based on their own image, right?

SPEAKER_06 42:33

Correct.

SPEAKER_03 42:34

So, like Little Mermaid being created and drawn by like white people is gonna be a white character, right? Right, and then later on, when we try to offset some of this unnecessary racism that's been deeply rooted, that maybe was subconscious or intentional, who knows? Um, by introducing characters of different ethnicities, everyone gets upset because they're like, Well, that's not how it originally was. Well, the original version of it doesn't really matter because it was made up, it's just created in the image of someone else.

SPEAKER_06 43:06

Yeah, it was made up.

SPEAKER_03 43:07

Right. So all we're doing is changing the image of that character while remaining like while the the character's heart and soul remains the same. Correct. People just get hung up on the way things look. Right.

SPEAKER_06 43:18

And then they always bring in then they always bring in the argument of okay, so uh uh what if they got a white person to play Martin Luther King, and it's like that's different because he was an actual person. You can't race swap somebody. Right, right, right, right. He was an actual person, yeah. We can't do that.

SPEAKER_07 43:35

You can tell him and touch him. Yeah, like we can't.

SPEAKER_03 43:38

Yeah, we could talk about, I guess maybe you could talk about if if like uh Chris Evans were to play Black Panther, but I mean, I mean no, because here's the thing though, I wouldn't care if he I I honestly would not listen if he could pull up.

SPEAKER_01 43:56

Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. It would be you're you're talking to a group. People that we don't care about that stuff. Like, just make sure the character's true. Like, that's it. Just give us the personality. Because here's the thing. And to be honest with you, there was probably a white Black Panther at some point.

SPEAKER_03 44:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 44:11

I think there was.

SPEAKER_03 44:12

I mean, there's a there's a multiverse.

SPEAKER_06 44:13

There's gotta be an albino one. That's what I'm saying. Because here's the thing. It's not just like could you imagine this regular panther?

SPEAKER_02 44:26

There is somebody called this common.

SPEAKER_07 44:31

White tiger.

SPEAKER_06 44:32

Yeah, white tiger. White lion. Oh lord.

SPEAKER_01 44:36

Anyway, so yes, that that would that would definitely happen. There was a white Black Panther in June of 2025. Yes, they did that. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_06 44:45

Yeah, they did that. I thought so. But uh Noah, I'm gonna murder his last name, but Noah Centinio from The Recruit and Black Adam as Ken Masters. I think uh I think he's gonna crush it. He looks like again, they all look like they're gonna freaking just knock it out of the park. It's it's gonna be one of those it's definitely gonna be a theater movie. You're gonna have to watch it on the big screen.

SPEAKER_03 45:08

Out of doubt, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 45:09

Without a doubt.

SPEAKER_03 45:11

Well, I'm gonna try and catch it, IMAX.

SPEAKER_01 45:12

There's a few movies that are gonna that are coming out that I that without a doubt are gonna be theater movies. Godzilla minus zero. Oh my Godzilla, Mortal Kombat, Voltron.

SPEAKER_03 45:25

Wait, wait, wait. Did you say Godzilla minus zero?

SPEAKER_06 45:27

Yeah, they're doing it they're doing the sequel to Minus Zero. Oh, yes, and they got a bigger budget. Have you seen the trailer?

SPEAKER_03 45:35

No, bro.

SPEAKER_06 45:36

Bro, bro in the dark after this, after this show, you need to go check it out. It looks fucking dope. I can't wait. I can't wait.

SPEAKER_01 45:44

I'm gonna be honest with you. I mean, I loved Minus One.

SPEAKER_06 45:46

I loved Minus One, and I was really sad that we didn't watch it in the theaters because when I watched it here and I had it on the surround sound, the fucking walls were shaking. I was like, oh, this would have been dope in the fucking theater. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was amazing. So, but that's what we have to keep an eye out on that. But show, but that's what we got to look forward to. Street Fighter coming out in October. I believe it's October 16th, is when it is when it hits theaters near you. Uh, let us know. Are you excited for Street Fighter? Are you not a Street Fighter fan? Are you more excited for Mortal Kombat? Or are we just like all in all just excited that as gaming fans we're finally eating, right? Like we're finally getting a plate. And they're like, yeah, yeah, you guys have, yeah, exactly, Grizz. They're like, you guys have suffered long enough. We got this. Right. Because the Resident Evil movie, side note, um, he did say that he's not gonna have any of the main characters that we know from Resident Evil. We're not gonna have Leon S. Kennedy, we're not gonna have uh Jill Valentine, uh Claire Redfield, we're not gonna have them. But the events in the movie are happening at the same exact time as the events in Resident Evil 2. It's just following somebody else during what was happening. That's what he said. So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 47:06

So that's interesting. You're giving us a whole new fresh start on the same storyline, which that has potential. Like, that's how you introduce new characters.

SPEAKER_06 47:15

Thank you. I am looking for, but people are like, it's not gonna be Resident Evil if you don't have and a lot of people like, okay, so some of you have not played Resident Evil 7, and it chose, or eight, really, because because Ethan Winters was a whole brand new character that nobody ever played in the Resident Evil franchise, and 7 and 8 turned out to be one of the great two of the greatest installments in the Resident Evil series.

SPEAKER_01 47:39

So you're telling me that there's only this there's only this small group of people that experience but experienced during the events of Resident Evil 2? No, there's telling there wasn't another community around?

SPEAKER_06 47:52

Millions of people out there, millions of people are suffering the same thing they are. Like they can be just as badass as Leon. We just have to find them, right? Like we just have to introduce these characters. Hell, Billy Cohen from Resident Evil Zero, he was in that one game and never seen ever again. So it's like he was a one and done, but he was fucking awesome. Everybody loved Billy. So I don't know. I'm I'm excited for it. Anyway, we gotta move on. Yeti, I think you have something for us. You should have something for us at least.

Geese Encounter And Rude Animals

SPEAKER_01 48:22

I do. So the other day I was, you know, I I was doing my job and I came across some fucking geese, gooses, whatever the fuck you want to call them. It was multiples. And I didn't realize I was near their fucking home base because it's fucking break breeding season. And I almost got attacked by one. Like I was like on the verge. Yeah, I was almost on the verge. So I got me thinking, if animals could talk, which one do you think would be the rudest?

SPEAKER_03 48:57

If animals could talk, which one would be the rudest?

SPEAKER_06 49:01

Cats.

SPEAKER_03 49:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 49:02

Cats.

SPEAKER_03 49:03

Cats are up there for sure.

SPEAKER_06 49:04

Yeah, cats for sure. Yeah, cats. I'm gonna say cats. I will say cats because they they are programmed to think they own you anyway. So you're not wrong.

SPEAKER_03 49:15

You're not fucking wrong. I don't know. I feel like not all birds, but I really do feel like like certain birds would be kind of well, like a like a crow or a raven. I don't know enough about ravens. Watch them, those are interesting though. Yeah, but here's the thing crows remember everything chatting.

SPEAKER_01 49:40

Yeah, yeah, crows remember everything, and they have a lot of people. Yeah, yeah, they are jerks. I could see them being really real.

SPEAKER_03 49:50

They are because I I live around them now. And they are like, dude, one tried to shit on me. No, for real, like shit on no, like, so I this was before I took my new position, so I was still parking cars, and we park on the roof of a building, and this the seagull like sees me, and he jumps from his position and does like this like loop around me, like a couple times. Oh yeah, he was aiming at work. Oh, he was doing maths, yeah. And then and then I stopped and I'm like, uh-uh. And so I stopped moving and then splat like right in front of me, dude. Like I stopped walking because I was like, what are you doing?

SPEAKER_06 50:32

And like now, here's what I need you to envision.

SPEAKER_03 50:35

Had I kept walking, he would have hit me, which means he can do maths.

SPEAKER_06 50:38

Yeah, he would have nailed you. But here's what I want you, here's what I want you to envision, Giz. You are literally just walking. You look up, and the seagull's like, What? And you're like, nothing, and the seagull just starts flying. He's like, Oh, I got something for you, and he just starts looping. And you're like, what the hell? And you're just walking, and you're like, maybe, and then you stop, and then the splat. And then you just hear, like, in the distance, why'd you move?

SPEAKER_02 51:07

Damn he stopped.

SPEAKER_06 51:10

Damn it!

SPEAKER_02 51:12

You think I triggered the seagull just by looking at it? Probably. Oh, you want to look? Yeah, you just have to look at it.

SPEAKER_05 51:18

The seagull is like, why'd you why didn't you keep walking?

SPEAKER_06 51:25

I envision seagulls have a Boston accent. Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. He's like, hey, hey, what are you doing? What are you doing? Come on.

SPEAKER_05 51:38

Forget about it. Pack you can have it yet.

SPEAKER_06 51:43

Anyway, we get we do you have a uh Reddit story for us?

SPEAKER_01 51:48

All right, let's I mean I don't, I will. Give me a number one through five.

SPEAKER_06 51:56

Three. Three Wake me when he's done.

Deaf Stepdaughter And Family Effort

SPEAKER_01 52:06

Two three, well there's only one there. He's reading. Give him a minute. Yeah. This one's gonna be interesting. This one's gonna be uh Okay. Am I the asshole for inviting people over? For okay, am I the asshole for only inviting people over who have bothered to put in some minimal effort to communicate with my deaf stepdaughter? Oh yeah, this one's gonna be a serious one. So my stepdaughter, Carly, is deaf and we're gonna be serious. Yes, she said a few things about not liking family gatherings. She told us she hates being around both families because of how many people leave her out of things. Carly said she only really started to notice when she was older and did less running around with the other kids. We decided that moving forward for events hosted at our house or our home, we would only be inviting people that have bothered to learn to learn some ASL or have shown that they want to try a try to find a way to include her. I don't mean fluence. I don't I don't mean fluency, more putting in effort or at least being able to treat Carly like she's a member of this family. Carly uses ASL, but she also lip reads, so stuff like facing her helps. And there are people who have tried, my sister, my niece, my nephew, my mom, etc. But there are people who have never tried. And there are people his side of the family too. So we have we told everyone the schools far before Easter. We said we are happy to host, but from now on, we want to make sure the home feels feels like a safe place for her. Where she's loved, supported, and where people will include her and make her make the effort. My sister's family agreed, but my brother-in-law said he never thought of it this way and promised he would do better. My dad was awful about it. So was my brother, Carly's uncles, one of her aunts. It was just a mess. We've gotten crap from both sides of the family. I will say that there is a train with who made who made a stink, and unfortunately, most of the men in the family, including her own uncles, which is sad. Carly's aunt took the uncle's side, though. Carly had a good had a good Easter, and so did everyone who came over. But since we have the bigger, since we have a bigger home, we typically host. I thought we gave them plenty of time to alternate plans, to make alternative plans for Easter dinner, but I guess everyone was too mad. So in the end, and this is what my brother said, I look forward to the once once a year I get to have ham, but because you wanted to make every make one person's problem everyone's problem, I didn't. Honestly, I wanted to just write back to him and tell him to go to Kroger and get a package of ham and eat the damn sandwich. And then again, I don't know if he could figure out how to use a little spread. Oh. Because of much drama this has caused in the family and how much resentment there is, I wanted to ask you guys you think we were wrong for making this rule. Sorry if this gets long-winded.

SPEAKER_03 55:17

Well, I accept it.

SPEAKER_06 55:19

Yeah, anyone want to go first on this one? So here is what I'm gonna say. I have a feeling we're all gonna agree because we all have sense here. I see I ca like I see where she's coming from. As far as you know, making an attempt, right? Make an attempt to learn things. But at the same time, there are people that don't want to, you know what I mean, like they're not dealing with them on a daily basis. So I don't think I don't think they're gonna it's gonna be top priority for them, especially if it's something that they're not gonna be using often. How often are we getting together? You know what I'm saying? Like, is this like uh just during birthdays, just during holidays? Like what what what are we looking at?

SPEAKER_01 56:03

It's it says it's just family gatherings, so I'm assuming.

SPEAKER_06 56:07

So probably birthdays, holidays, stuff like that. Okay, so it's not like so it's not like again, they're not like spending a lot of time together.

SPEAKER_01 56:16

But they're spending enough time to probably learn it though.

SPEAKER_06 56:18

Yes, to some degree. Yes, make an attempt. I will say make an attempt. But at the same time, there are other ways to communicate with somebody that is hearing impaired. Yes, reading lips, obviously, but if they wanted to, they could communicate by writing stuff down, maybe, on a piece of paper, on their phone, what have you. Right. But that to me is making an attempt, right? To to have them kind of feel included. I do agree though with her make an attempt to learn some sign language. Right? To uh like like like just just just try. Just just at least try. Show that you give a shit. Like I I'm I'm with her on that. Do I think that it's possible to do it without it? Sure. Because I run into deaf people all the time at my job and and you know, I don't I don't know how to sign. I know a little bit. I know very little bit. So uh typically I'm like, oh, oh, you can't okay, hold on. I'll bust my phone out and we'll type back and forth. They never they don't have an issue with that because you know they understand that you know we are at a different level. And you know, d does that mean that I have to go out of my way to learn sign language for every single person that I run into at work? I mean, me being me, I would love to. I would love to know different languages so I can knock that barrier down. But with family, at least try, right? Like, at least make an attempt. Don't be shitty.

SPEAKER_01 57:52

Right. So I'm gonna kinda go off what you just said. It it's family. Like, how could you not? Like, how could you go to a family event and just not include someone, especially if it's quote unquote family? Like, I understand some families aren't the greatest, but I'm assuming Carly's younger. She's gotten older, that's what they said. She's gotten older. Yeah, but she's a younger kid. Why would you not want to at least how would you not want to communicate to someone? You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't know. So here's a perfect example. So, like, I learned the alphabet and sign language years ago in high school. Okay, it has stuck with me throughout these years. And literally the past, I don't know, three, four years, I've come across a handful of deaf people, and surprisingly, I've been able to have conversations. But now, is it slower? Fuck yeah, because you can obviously there's phrases and words and say by moving your hands in certain ways. I don't know them, but I know how to spell out certain words, yeah, or all words, and it's just it's just the first time I did it, it was awesome to see their face light up because my job does not require that type of knowledge, and the fact that I was able to do that like just a little bit was just impressive, and she was she was like, Wow, and like we had a conversation about what I was doing and everything, and it was just it was just cool to see, and I felt good like that day. I got in the truck and I was like, yo, that was pretty dope that I just had a conversation with someone that I've not practiced this in forever, but I was able to have a conversation with someone. It just felt good to just be able to just I don't know, just to talk to someone like that. And something that small, imagine how that would make that child feel in that environment when you guys have family gatherings. So I'm gonna say, not the asshole. Take the time to learn it, especially if it's a family member. Like, and you don't need to know the whole alphabet. I mean, to be honest with you, the alphabet isn't even that hard, bro. It's on one hand, you just flash up, okay. I'm making a joke, but you flash up some gang signs, and that's it. Hell yeah. For the joke.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:08

You know, just in case. So we don't piss off.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:10

Yeah, just in case.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:13

But just in case.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:15

I had a very I had a very tasteless joke that I was gonna say, but I'm not gonna say I think I already used the uh the the amount of tasteless jokes.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:27

Exactly. You did. We've we did we've reached our we've reached our limit.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:31

Yeah, we've reached our quota for this show, so we're done. But no, but in all seriousness, just just take the time to learn it, man. And here's the thing even if you want to learn with with with her, yeah, have her teach you something. Now, guess what? You're now doing something that she probably enjoys doing. Well, she's gotta enjoy doing because that's the only that's one of her forms of communication. And she's teaching her uncle, she's teaching her brother, right, whoever it is that's being negative. Now you guys have that bonding experience and some memory for both of you guys. Why why would you take that away? Give that, give that gift to both of you guys, and it's it's priceless. It's just taking up some time. Sorry, I'm done. No, you're good. That's why you're good. Not an asshole, be better.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:15

Okay. I I agree. I think um unanimously we we all agree, not the asshole. Um my the only two cents I'll add to that is there's not really an excuse other than maybe selfishness to not learn because they have somebody that they can practice with. Right. Because like learning a new language, half the battle is consistency. Yep. Right. Um, and like I've been trying to teach myself Spanish working at this hotel so I can better communicate with some of the housekeepers.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:50

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:51

And some of them know English, I'd say over half of them know English. Um but like it's not their first language. Right. So, you know, like they not that they would prefer one or the other. Maybe they do, I don't know. I just don't like speaking for people, I guess. But um they would like if I could speak to them in Spanish, like that's probably more comfortable for them, but it's harder for me, right? Right. So, like, but I have a place where I can practice. And um so does this person. They have a they have a family member who they can practice sign language with if they're trying to learn. And honestly, they don't even have to try that hard. You just do the basics, yeah. You know, like you just, hey, how are you? How's your day? Yep, love you, nice to see you. Have a good day, see you next time. Goodbye. Like, yeah, those are all simple phrases that probably would be really simple to learn. You don't need to know how to ask them how their calculus went. Yeah, give me the recipe to banana nut bread. No, I don't know. Like, you don't need all that, like not right away. Like, like that you get the you build the the base. Right, the foundation. Yeah, you get the foundation. Right, the foundation, and and then you can go from there. They just don't want to it maybe it seems too hard, maybe they're just incredibly selfish and just don't care.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:13

And don't want to be bothered with a ham sandwich. Yeah, they don't want to be bothered with it. Make my ham sandwich so I can go home. Yeah, and and that could very well be. And and uh you know, do do I think she's the asshole for it? No, I don't think so.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:26

Where are they from? The Midwest? This feels like a Midwest problem.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:29

Probably. So I it isn't it doesn't specify any of the things.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:32

Yeah, it doesn't specify it. But if I had to guess, it probably is.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:36

But just to just to uh kind of reiterate what Yeti said, because he mentioned about you know uh speaking to somebody who was deaf and using sign language and all that kind of stuff. I remember I was I had I was doing a turn on at my job, like I was doing what what I was doing, and the lady had her dog in the backyard, and she was she was Hispanic, and the dog, it was a pit bull. I don't know how it got out. Gates were closed. I'm pretty sure it climbed the tree and came down because I'm on the s I'm on the side of the house and I just look over, I was like, oh, there's this big old pit bull head like ten feet away from me. I was like, oh, wait, that's the dog that was in the I was like, oh no. So of course, I didn't want it to run anywhere. So I was like, hey buddy, I was trying to keep its attention and I was like, oh fuck, where is she at? Because I didn't know where she went. And I literally I I walked inside real quick and she was she was sitting in the kitchen, and I was like, Miss, and I was like, I gotta I gotta remember it, and I was like, Perro, and she's like, huh? And like, I mean, she she she knew I was talking about a dog, and I was like, Right, on the road. And she she ran like immediately ran to the porch and seen her dog was out. So it was like, Oh shit.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:51

You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_06 1:04:52

Like, like, obviously, he's mentioning a dog. Oh shit, I put my dog outside. So, like, you know what I mean? Like, it was something that simple, you know what I mean? Something that simple, one word in in in Spanish, because she didn't she didn't speak a lick of English, so I was just like, uh, perro, and she was like, and I was like, outside in the street, and then she ran up, I mean, immediately, you know what I mean, and yeah, yeah, yeah. Wound up getting her dog, putting it back in the putting it back in the yard. But it's just shit like that. No, shit like that. That's literally the problem is you got too many people that are like, if you come to America, you gotta learn to speak. And it's like we're a melting pot, right? Like, we're gonna have all different kinds of backgrounds. And again, again, this is where I'm like, it drives me nuts because there are people that I know. Um, like a like a friend of mine, I don't want to drop her name on here, but a friend of mine, she's she's Indian, and she knows five different languages fluently, English being one of them. And I'm like, what are we doing? What are we doing?

SPEAKER_03 1:05:54

What are we doing? What am I doing?

SPEAKER_06 1:05:55

Well, what am I doing? Like, most of us struggle with one language. She knows five? Fluently?

SPEAKER_01 1:06:01

That's really cool. That's awesome. Right. That's fucking awesome. And I would go get my nails done all the time.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:06

Yeah, just to see what they're saying.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:09

Crazy work.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:10

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:10

Crazy work. I'd be a menace in there. Many pennies. You know what's funny?

SPEAKER_03 1:06:14

They're probably just come they're probably just like passing the time things.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:18

Yeah, they're probably just talking about sports. Nonsense. Yeah, right. Nonsense. Yeah. So no, just to just to reiterate, it's like it's stuff like that. Something that simple that you can learn. That doesn't take a lot of time. And and and like every I think all of us have been saying, just you can just be inclusive. You can you don't have to be such a shitty person.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:38

And and here's the other thing too. It the feeling I get is if you have family members that don't want to take the time to communicate. So if I had if there were challenges for my daughter and we knew this now, and if we had gatherings and my family members didn't take the time to include those challenges and make it some make it somewhat of a safe place for my daughter, that falls back on them. It it just shows if they don't care about you or your family, in my opinion. And maybe I'm being too harsh on this, but if you don't take the time to like include mine, then why should I take the time to include you or yours? Correct. That's the way that's the way I kind of start to view view it. Then you start getting into then you start to get in the muddy waters of well because you don't have any respect for mine and what I'm going through or what she's going through, so we're just gonna leave you out of it. That's that's that's that's that's the way I do that's the way I handle things sometimes.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:40

Yeah, and and and again, that's that's that's why that's why with this with this one specifically, it's a little bit tricky because all she says is family gatherings. How often are those gatherings happening? You know what I'm saying? Like, is it just birthdays and holidays? Is that it? Are we talking sports events? Are we talking other things that they do? Are there sounds we don't know? There's a there's a wide variety of shit that we don't know, right? Like they just say bad family gatherings. Do they do value?

SPEAKER_01 1:08:07

Family gatherings, it's probably at least 10 a year, if I had to guess. They probably crossed paths.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:12

I'm just saying, I'm just saying we don't know, and I'm not gonna put a number to it. I'm I'm not even gonna I'm not even gonna try to do that. But but I'm just gonna go with family gatherings. I'm just assuming birthdays, obviously, who and however many people they got in their family for a birthday, and then and then Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'll give them that. Like bare minimum.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:31

So it's like maybe Easter, maybe Easter.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:34

But like if if that's the case, if that is the case, and and these people are like, well, we don't see each other enough to be, you know, to bother out. That's just rude to me though. It is, I agree. I'm not saying I'm not saying that it is.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:49

Right, for me, for me, yes.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:51

But for some people, they're like, we don't see each other enough to where it should be a daily part of my thing. And I'm like, I listen, I hear you, I hear you, I hear you. But there are there are just like when you're playing it out loud, playing the other side, it's selfish, it is selfish, it's a very selfish thought, but it's it's it's the other side of the fence where people are like, Well, I don't yes, I I like it, it is a it is a it is an obstacle, but I don't deal with it enough to be like, you know, should I bother with learning that? I'm not saying it's right, I'm not saying I agree with it, but that's just people some people's mentality. I'm willing to bet they don't mean enough for them to even bother learning anything, but that's still that doesn't make you that doesn't make you a good person, at least for me.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:37

Right. I'm just saying that when you when you say it out loud, it just sounds disgusting.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:41

It sounds awful.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:42

It truly does.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:43

It sounds awful because I'm telling you what it sounds like. No, I hear you. Like it's it's it sounds terrible, but just thinking and thinking you get upset because it just right, but but if it's like if it's like if it's like us, you know what I'm saying? Like we're we're we're constantly doing stuff, so we're always around each other. So if so if baby Yeti ever had an issue, yeah, uh like me being around, I'm probably gonna watch her grow up the same way we watch, you know, uh Miss Meseek's child grow up. I would want to be able to communicate, you know what I'm saying? Like have that. Right. You know what I mean? Like I would I would for me at least, I'm like, I'm gonna be in your life a lot. So I want to make sure that you know I'm meeting you at your level. You're comfortable around me.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:27

I don't want you to be like, Yeah, I don't want you to feel like I gotta go to I gotta go to Uncle Jay's house. Like I'm gonna feel right.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:32

I don't want yeah, I don't want you to feel like you can't talk to me because you know, you know what I mean? Like that that would that would suck. Like that would make me feel bad. But for some people, they just don't want to be bothered with it. Because in their mind, they're like, I got I got enough on my plate. And in all reality, it's like okay, like life does get busy, but at the same time, like just learning one word or one phrase should not take that fucking much.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:56

Oh, I'm with you. I'm I'm with you, bro.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:58

But anyway, we have to move.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:59

Especially when the entry level is yeah, it's literally that you know what's crazy is that that can actually constitute for two words. Hi and by. So you got two words covered. We're already there.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:13

That's what I'm saying. Like, so so that that family member really is the asshole.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:18

Yeah, really is really the asshole. Again, I'm not saying it's right, I'm not saying I agree with it. Like I said, I don't think she's the asshole for for that. Yeah, yes, no, and this is I don't know. Hi, bye, I don't know. Yes, no, over there, come here, come here, come here.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:44

Like we're on a roll, guys. We're on a roll.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:50

Anyway, I'm sure. I'm done.

Magic Mind Sponsor Break

SPEAKER_06 1:11:52

Yeah, I'm done. Anyway, we have to move on. I don't know about y'all, but so all in all, not the asshole. That's what we that's what that's what we've agreed on. Um, definitely not the asshole. Just you know, do better. Like, like you can make you can squeeze five minutes in your fucking day. We all have the same 24 hours, right? Like we we all do. It's just how you how you use utilize that time. But I don't know if you guys have ever been just like, you know, at a family gathering, and you're like, oh man, oh man, you know what? I totally forgot that there's there's a family member with a child that I need to use sign language with I don't remember my training. And you just you're drawing a blank. That's great. This is crazy on what to say, and and and you're like, man, I wish I could have the recall for it, right? Like my brain is totally fogged up. Well, guess what? Magic Mind is here to save you. Aw man.

For the record, it was not.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:09

SPEAKER_01 1:14:41

That was beautiful segue, though. I just want to say before you move on, one last little thing. Have you noticed that with all these Reddit roulettes, we find ourselves saying, do better or be better? Like it is an ongoing trend with these fucking topics.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:58

Because it's the internet, and people are literally going to the internet with stupid shit and ho and thinking some of them are actually thinking they're in the right. Like they're thinking they're in the right. And some are like, am I? And it's like, no, not really. Like, there are some normal people out there, but but like there are some people that are like, yeah, this happened, and I'm not the asshole, right? Nah, nah, dog, you are. You are, bro. Like Yeah, you are. Obviously, the one we just covered was did not fall under that category. Not the asshole. I don't, I don't think, I don't think we run into that very often where it's like clear cut, not the asshole.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:34

No, we don't. We always have debates.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:36

It's either it's either full on asshole or we're like kind of an asshole, like you're asshole-ish. Like we we we always have that, but I think this is the first one.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:44

Yeah, you're a taint.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:46

I think this is the first one to like no body parts.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:49

Yeah, like I purposely try to find the fucking the oddball and be like, hey, this is probably why they were thinking like this. Right. I played the other side sometimes. I couldn't do it this time.

Fast Food Team Ups

SPEAKER_06 1:16:02

Yeah, that one, that one, that one's clear cut. That one's clear cut, not the asshole. Like that your family can do better. But anyway, we have a topic to get to, and I believe it has something to do with more food, fast food, collaborations. Oh, what do we mean by that? What do we mean by that? We mean, like, for instance, McDonald's, as of right now. They they could be wrapping it up soon. But they have the Huntryx meal that comes with a 10-piece nugget, some uh ramyon seasoning, ramyon seasoning for your fries. You can shake them up, taste like the ramyon from from the movie K-pop demon hunters. They also have a two new sauces, two new sauces. They have the demon sauce and the hunter sauce, which are the dipping sauce, so amazing. Both of them, honestly, for me, are really good. The demon sauce tastes more like uh like a like a spicy mustard, and the hunter sauce, oh my god. It's like a it's like a very it's like a step up of sweet chili, uh sweet chili sauce. And it's it's so good. Yeah, it's so good. And then you and then they also have you get a little collector card, which we'll get into this because just so we're clear, you know they're selling those cards for like$300 a pop.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:14

What the fuck is going on?

SPEAKER_06 1:17:16

Yeah, just so we're clear. So I might get me a Hunter's meal after this show. Um just so I can have a couple cards. But yes, people are actually selling them for like$300 a pop on eBay. And then they also have a McFlurry that is based off of Derby, who is a character in the in the movie, and it's got really cool stuff in it. So some collaborations are really awesome, while others not so much. Not so much. So we're here to just discuss we brought two to the table, at least I hope we did. Everybody. Yes, brought one that that for you it worked, and for one that just why did you do that? So, but yeah, okay, awesome sauce. So, who would want to take the reins?

SPEAKER_01 1:18:02

I'm gonna take the one, I'm gonna start it off, and I'm gonna go with one that for me is truly amazing. Okay, let's hear about it. I personally think it has the crown, tell us about it. It can be dethroned, and it's going to be the Taco Bell and Doritos collab collab. Their nacho cheese, Dorito fucking hard taco is truly amazing. That thing's been around for years. It I feel like it's a staple, and I just don't see it ever going away. So that's my favorite.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:40

I mean, is it really a collaboration anymore now that they're like part of the furniture?

SPEAKER_03 1:18:46

It's still like when it first came out, it was a collab, but now it is a part of the furniture.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:53

Yeah, it's it's part of the furniture. Like it's you're right. Now it's probably not, but when I mean it had to start as a collab, and it was so popular and so successful that I said, let's just keep it. I mean, that's fair. That's fair. Now, to be fair, they don't have the cool ranch one anymore.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:10

They don't, they don't, and they bring it back every now and then. That's disappointing. Yeah, they do bring it back every they bring it back every now. I think it had to do with popularity. I don't think the cool ranch. I don't think the cool ranch did as well as the nacho cheese.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:21

This is so crazy because I like the Cool Ranch Dorito more than the Nacho Cheese Dorito. I hear you, bro. I hear you. See, here's how my brain works like the taco already has cheese. Nacho cheese. I hear you. So I don't want my shell to be cheesy. I want my shell to be cool ranchy, but it's one of their other flavors.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:40

Cool ranchy. You know what I would love? A spice a sweet, spicy chili.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:46

Or a spicy, sweet chili uh the like that.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:51

Oh that would be fucking. Oh, hang on, I gotta collect myself.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:00

I didn't even think about that.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:01

You guys remember when we went to the Coke museum? Yes, and we would try all the different flavors and shit. Yeah, yeah. Why doesn't Taco Bell have a museum? I don't know. We could just make our own make our own taco flavor.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:16

Remember, we made like our own flavored Coke, and we and we learned very quickly why we're not on the team. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:23

We're not scientists, but but we tried.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:25

We all we all got green-eyed and cross-eyed, and we're like, Yeah, bro.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:29

We were like, yo, these flavors would be sick.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:31

Oh then they all came out like soap.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:33

Yeah, like in our mind what they did to us, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:36

I think we didn't. I think it was a trick.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:38

I think it was a trick.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:39

I me too, because like remember, we put in these formulas, and then and then they they have that thing dialed to where it all they already know what people are gonna pick. Yep, which isn't fair.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:53

Yeah, it's not fair. I think I think I want more control.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:56

Yeah, I think they give you the illusion of control, and I think everybody's probably tastes about the same. I would I would venture to say. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:03

What if that's their test testing facility, and it doesn't matter what we pick, and they're just ripping off ideas?

SPEAKER_03 1:21:09

These are flavor combos they want.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:11

Yeah, they're just ripping off ideas that they're experimenting with and they're watching people's reaction, and they're well, you know that's what they're doing. That would be crazy. That would actually be crazy.

SPEAKER_06 1:21:22

I bet that might be a big brain move, though, on Cokes on Coke's end, though. Because it's like how many people do you have? Yeah, how many people do you have coming to your museum trying out all these Cokes? Right. I don't know. I can't I guess I couldn't be mad at it if that's what they're doing.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:39

And and you could change it up by having four different flavors going at the same time, and you give if there's 30 people going in to get their drink, you hit it 10 times, you hit B ten times, you hit C ten times. So everyone's getting a different flavor. Yeah, everyone's thinking that they're getting their made flavor.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:56

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:58

That's fair. That's actually really fucking genius.

SPEAKER_06 1:22:00

Yeah, if if if Coke is doing that, that's actually a little bit gaslighty. Yeah, seriously, honestly, it is honestly it is. Yeah, you totally made this flavor, didn't you?

SPEAKER_02 1:22:10

Yeah, this is your idea.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:12

Like, dude, fuck you.

SPEAKER_07 1:22:14

Good job, buddy.

SPEAKER_06 1:22:17

Dude, fuck you. Don't give me this partition paste and trophy bullshit. Like, let me know if I actually made it or not. God damn, right. But no, I I do agree that that collaboration turning into a staple is basically like that's that's yeah, that's a win. That's a win for Taco Bell. So 100%. Yeah, keep that up, Taco Bell. Um Grizz, you want to go next or shall I?

SPEAKER_03 1:22:40

Uh yeah, I'll go. I so the collab that I have was um less about like the two foods uh collabing together, which is a great idea. Yeah. Um, and because I was thinking of I based this off of like McDonald's current Demon Hunter collab. Yep. On one hand, like they have like food options, which I think was a new thing, but uh my going off of like my favorite collab, I'm going nostalgic because I'm a product of the 90s, and I really liked the Power Ranger collab. And I was trying to do some research to see if they did any special foods, but I think that that's a new thing because I don't I didn't find any research on if anyone else knows, maybe they were older because I was a kid in the 90s, so if there was like someone that was a teenager or maybe uh no a lot older than that.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:35

I don't think I don't think they did back then.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:37

Yeah, I don't think they did like a food food um theme, but like I just remember enjoying the like the because like Power Rangers was hot, you know, like I was dressing up like the red Power Ranger and like getting all the toys and like you get the little characters. I think I still have one upstairs actually. Nice.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:54

Nice.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:55

Um yeah, that was probably like one of my favorite, like just like toy or like IP collabs with fast food. Um it would have been sick to see them do I don't know, like what if we're doing McDonald's, they probably would have done like the dipping sauce and then like the fry the fry thing. Is that new? Like the the fry bag thing?

SPEAKER_06 1:24:17

Oh, the fry shaker, yes.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:18

That's that's that's because I got that with the Grinch. They did that Grinch meal, and that was the first time I had experienced.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:25

I think that's the first time they ever did it. Okay. With the with the with with getting the seasoning and the fry bag.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:32

Was the Grinch the first time they did like the the the dipping sauce too? Or did they just do the fry bag?

SPEAKER_06 1:24:38

No, because um McDonald's has always done a sauce, because if if you're if you're a Rick and Morty fan, sound off. Because remember he his big thing was the shichuan for nuggets sauce. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, for for Mulan. So I think they've always done at least a sauce. I don't think they've ever done like the fry shaker stuff. I don't think that's ever been a thing. They've never they've never added a fry seasoning.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:01

I felt like that was new, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:25:03

That was new. The sauce, not so much. I think they've always kind of made a sauce to kind of coincide with ever with whatever collaboration they're doing. But I will say that for McDonald's at least, Huntryx is probably top tier for me. At least for me. So they did a really good job.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:23

That's your top number.

SPEAKER_06 1:25:24

No, no, no, no. I'm I'm just saying, just going off of what he would what uh what Grizz was saying, but I was thinking, I wanted to say, I think what would have really sold that Power Rangers collab if McDonald's was doing it right now, do like dino nuggies, but like in the shape of their of their Zords, that would be fun, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:45

Yeah, yeah, that would be pretty dope, yeah, yeah. That would be dope. So, like what because they would they wouldn't do a bunch of different sauces, although they could.

SPEAKER_06 1:25:53

They could, but I don't think they would.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:54

Do you think they would? Do you think they would do a sauce for each Power Ranger? I don't know. Because they should.

SPEAKER_06 1:25:58

That's that's too much. That's a lot entirely too much. That is that is a lot of money. Yeah, that's a lot of money. Yeah, because red, black, uh, blue, pink, yellow. I mean, you could do white, I mean, or a green, green it, green and or white. So I don't know what kind of white out of that is. Right, yes, yes.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:21

So they could just do like uh all of them and well, not all the colors, but they could do a theme of prism flame. Like the collective, yeah, of a prism, yeah, prism flavor.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:30

I wouldn't that wouldn't be too bad.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:32

And then your your solid.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:33

That'd be interesting. Yeah. Instead of being a solid color, you would have all the stripes of the colors on the pack, and then you'd have your sauce flavor on it. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:43

Yeah, the sauce would just be whatever. Yeah, whatever they decided to make, like a megazin sauce.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:49

Yeah, yeah, megazord. You call it the megazord sauce. Yeah, megazord sauce. And your cover would be all the colors, yeah. And then whatever color that would equal together, that's the color of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it would probably be black.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:04

So you just wait. You just wait, guys. You're gonna see a collaboration from McDonald's with Power Rangers very soon.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:14

Yeah, we did just do the legwork. Mark your calendars.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:19

Yep, we're not greedy, just give us a five percent. That's all. So, but no, you you got anything else on the on that collaboration, Grizz?

SPEAKER_03 1:27:27

No, no, that was that was the only like because there's not a food topic on it, really. It was just like the so two IPs clashing.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:36

Through the research that I seen, I don't think a lot of fast food restaurants experimented with food like they are. No.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:44

Well, I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:45

I feel like their collaborations I can't say that.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:48

I would say I think on their collaborations they're getting more experimental, but back in the nineties, they really I mean, we had we had a topic about this where it literally like Burger King did a pizza burger, and it's like

SPEAKER_01 1:28:00

What? Right. I'm talking about like the collabs himself. Right. I think their collabs himself was a dipping sauce or or something of something small and minute.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:12

It was mostly it was mostly, I mean, McDonald's always did the dipping sauce. I don't think anybody else really did that. I think it was mostly just like the the toys that they would get or whatever whatever uh items that came with it.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:24

More toy based. Right.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:26

It was mostly just like product.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:29

Yes. And because one thing I I research is they back in the 90s, in 92, McDonald's had the Michael Jordan. Yeah, but it wasn't it wasn't anything spectacular. And then it wasn't until 2020 with Travis Scott, is when they really added started playing around with the food. And even Travis's Scott wasn't anything crazy. His was just a quarter powder with cheese with a dipping sauce of barbecue sauce.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:55

Yeah, it was it was just a sauce.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:56

How was his meal?

SPEAKER_03 1:28:56

Kind of like how it was just like how he ate it, right?

SPEAKER_06 1:28:59

Yes, yes. Kind of like how after going with like Glorilla. Glorilla had her meal at uh rallies because she used to work at rallies, and there was like a uh yeah, it was like a barbecue sauce, something. It was like a barbecue onion ring, something like that. I was trying to make a little rhyme rhyme. Yes. But you you you get it. But yeah, I I would I would say nowadays is more it's more prevalent to add add different kind of food as a collaboration. So for me, the one that I honestly appreciated the most, and it was recent, it was Burger King's version of the Spongebob collaboration when the SpongeBob movie came out. Because it literally so they literally made a Krabby Patty, and this is where and it's gonna kinda go hand in hand with my one that just didn't work, okay? Because Wendy's Wendy's tried the same thing. They tried the same thing. Sorry, they tried the same thing, and it turned out fucking awful. I was like, this is not a Krabby Patty, it's literally just like a Dave single with like some kind of sauce, and I was like, that's that's awful. But Burger King literally made the yellow bun that was more square, had had the toppings that look it looked like a Krabby Patty, and then they had the the I think it was bacon cheddar, bacon cheddar like hash brown bites, like tater bites, those are fucking awesome. And then they had this pineapple, the pineapple upside down drink that was like, you know, the pine who lives in a pineapple under the sea, you know what I mean? So it's like, and then they had oh my god, it was it was Patrick's strawberry, like cheesecake cake, and I knew that was gonna hit. I knew it was because I was like their Hershey Sunday pie, always amazing. So the pie that they made for for Patrick, the strawberry crunch was oh, it was fire. So it was like that was the best collaboration recently for me. The Huntryx meal, that's a pretty close that's that's I mean that that probably took the spot, but as of recent, like just how they made like the the the the the box that you got it in was literally SpongeBob's house. So it's like it was a cool collaboration. I was like, you know what, Burger King, good on you for putting forth some fucking effort, as opposed to Wendy's that was just like, yeah, here's something that kind of resembles a crack.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:25

Wendy's is like that uncle that just won't learn science.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:32

Okay, here we go. Okay, okay. You know what? We're not gonna, I'm not gonna sit here and allow this to fucking keep going. All right. I gotta stand up to a degree. Okay. No, no, no. I'm I'm standing up because now you guys, you guys want to fight, so now we're fighting.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:46

Nobody's fighting. It's just it's great that we can that we can constantly go back.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:52

Listen, it's an anchor right now.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:55

It's an anchor.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:56

I'm telling you right now, we're gonna butt head. So me and Emily, my wife, we've tried, we tried both. We tried the Wendy's and we tried Burger King's.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:07

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:08

Burger King's looked better, presentation was better, items were better. All of that. Okay, I will give I will give Burger King that the presentation was on point. I will say that their Krabby Patty, all it was was whopper.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:25

Well, yeah, but the bun.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:27

There was no additional sauces, nothing like that. There was it was just literally a whopper with a change.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:31

Again, again, it was the bun. There was there the the the the Krabby Patty didn't have any special sauce. It was just meat. No, the Krabby Patty does have special sauce. No, no. It was like meat, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:46

And then like I thought they said special sauce.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:49

No, they don't they don't have a special sauce on the Krabby Patty. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure they do. I'm pretty sure they don't. They might. Who knows? I could be wrong. Any Spongebob fans out there?

SPEAKER_01 1:32:59

Yeah, let us know. Crammy if I'm wrong. Anyway. But Wendy's, we we try Wendy's, and honestly, we liked Wendy's better because that special sauce.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:09

Something's wrong with you.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:11

That special sauce did taste good. No, something's wrong with you. Well, is it just a date single? Yes. Their presentation and everything. It was lazy. It was lazy. It was lazy as fuck.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:22

It was lazy as fuck. It was.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:24

And I'm not gonna just be bothered with it. But the sauce was good. I'll give them the sauce, and that's why we that's why we preferred it over Burger King's collab. Listen, the sauce was good.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:35

This is all I'm gonna say. I had Wendy the Wendy's collab once, never went back to it. I had the Burger King collab multiple times. Like it was that's fair. It was that collab. That's fair. It was it slapped so fucking much. And and and and Patrick's fucking star star fucking strawberry crunch pie? Are you kidding me? Like, what are we talking about here? What kind what do you mean? What do you mean it tasted better? You know what? I'm mad now. You've angered me. I am angry that you said Wendy's tasted better. Get over yourself. Did you even have to do that?

SPEAKER_03 1:34:11

So did Wendy's have a sauce on it?

SPEAKER_06 1:34:13

Yeah, that's literally all they did.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:14

So you just like sauce.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:16

I just I just googled it and he said yes, Krabby Patty in Spongebob SquarePants features a secret Krabby sauce.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:23

So it did have a secret sauce and Wendy's Wait, where did is that the Google AI over link?

SPEAKER_06 1:34:27

Yeah, it's the get Google Goog else. I don't believe that. Yeah, I don't believe anything. I don't believe that. I don't believe anything.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:32

It's on fandom. Fuck fandom. Yeah, I said it. It's on Reddit.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:39

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:41

So angry for no reason.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:44

Angry!

SPEAKER_03 1:34:46

Whatever. Anyways. No, well, the thing that I read was uh mustard, pickles, ketchup, cheese, lettuce. Um there was nothing about a sauce. But I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:04

I don't know what it is. It's probably some fanfiction that you're reading.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:11

Okay, first okay, look, what is this right here?

SPEAKER_06 1:35:14

That's a phone. Secret Krabby Sauce.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:18

First appearance has seen on TV. Last appearance, it even has the fucking episode that it was on.

SPEAKER_03 1:35:24

Yeah, I don't think was the Krabby sauce for the burger, or was it for Krabby Sabbath?

SPEAKER_06 1:35:29

I think it was something else because listen, listen, I I I I have I have this guy here. I have something, Krabby Patty, right? Probably what you looked up, Grizz. And it says ingredients standard for a Krabby Patty. You ready? Sesame seed bun, patty, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, cheese, pickles, ketchup, and mustard.

SPEAKER_03 1:35:49

That's it. There's another episode where SpongeBob is like trying to remember how to build one because he forgot some reason.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:55

Yes. Yes, it's not it.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:00

Oh, it was because the guy, the guy said he had no pickles, and he said, I know I put pickles on it because I do it this way every single time. Why'd you just sound like Spongebob?

SPEAKER_05 1:36:11

That was amazing.

SPEAKER_06 1:36:14

That's hilarious. But that it doesn't mean that it was on the Krabby Patty.

unknown 1:36:19

What's that?

SPEAKER_06 1:36:20

It doesn't mean that it was on the Krabby Patty. What's that? I know he's he's he's trying really hard here. He's he really is.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:26

I'm not trying, I'm just going off with what I'm saying. You like the Wendy's one better. It's okay. Yeah, it's okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:36:31

You like you like some par foods, it's fine. We understand.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:37

We understand. We I felt like a family when we were talking about the Reddit roulette. We were we were we were one.

SPEAKER_06 1:36:46

Coming from the guy who who who was shit out who shit out spicy level four from a spicy level two. That's who we're consider the source, ladies and gentlemen. Consider the source.

SPEAKER_01 1:37:00

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I rest my case. Sauce is good, motherfuckers. Sauce is good.

SPEAKER_06 1:37:07

That's too funny. That is actually hilarious. So, I mean, again, you like what you like, that's fine if you enjoy the Wendy's version. It uh again, for me, it was not it was not up, it wasn't there, it wasn't it. And I was just disappointed in Wendy's because I was like, Y'all could have done so much better with this. Like, why?

SPEAKER_02 1:37:26

Like, you could have at least like the shape, right? Like, yeah, right, right.

SPEAKER_01 1:37:31

They left it round, they should have squared it up.

SPEAKER_06 1:37:33

Yeah, they're not put some effort square, and then all you had to do was make a different kind of bun that would match that. And it was like, why are we not at least trying a little bit? Like, put forth some fucking egg.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:47

Like enriched dough, right? My Laburger King used and a brioche-ish bun.

SPEAKER_06 1:37:52

It was something like that. But the the obvious one. Was it yellow you said? It was yellow, so I'm using some blue coloring.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:56

Yeah, some dyes. That's it. Or just eggs. You could get that with eggs.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:00

That's true, too. Simple. It was fucking well, people could have egg allergies, so they probably wouldn't. Yeah, they probably wouldn't.

SPEAKER_03 1:38:06

You know what I say to that? Go to fucking Wendy's. Go to Wendy's.

SPEAKER_06 1:38:11

Get some subpar food. Get a subpar Krabby Patty at Wendy's, you fucking weird ass. No, I'm kidding. Wait, I'm kidding. We're kidding. We're kidding.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:23

We're kidding. One thing I will say though, I am upset that fucking Wendy's went away with the romaine lettuce. Shredded lettuce, yeah. It is straight fucking garbage. It's not good on their burgers. It's not it's not good on their burgers. Fucking trash. Shredded lettuce on burgers make it they're disgusting. The only shredded lettuce burger I'll accept is a Big Mac. Outside of that, get a fucking leaf lettuce because it makes sandwiches taste better. I'll agree with that. Go play in traffic. Damn, that's crazy.

SPEAKER_03 1:38:50

Tell us how you really feel.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:52

It bothers me so fucking much that they took away the romaine lettuce from when I used to bite into the fucking junior bacon cheeseburger, and just to hear the crunch.

SPEAKER_06 1:39:01

Of the lettuce, the crispy, the crispy romaine.

SPEAKER_01 1:39:04

Yes. And then I was just like withered, fucking shredded, turning bright to match the color of my meat. Get the fuck out of here. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:39:14

Anyway, Grizz, do you have a okay? Now, was that your collab that you did not you thought was kind of weak? It was a cross between those two, yes. Okay. So Chris, do you have a collab that you just didn't work for you?

SPEAKER_03 1:39:25

Or yeah. Um, but I I feel bad because I actually never tried it. But that's because it grossed me out too much to try it. It was the Smoothie King ketchup, like Smoothie King Heinz ketchup smoothie. I forgot about that. I forgot about that. I wanted to try it.

SPEAKER_01 1:39:45

Tried it.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:45

I didn't get to try it. I didn't get to try it. I couldn't bring myself. Didn't we go up there to get it and it was out? No. We talked about it on an episode a while ago. Yes. That lab is my I don't think it worked.

SPEAKER_06 1:39:57

Yeah, it wasn't available where we were. It was select markets. So it wasn't there. We didn't have a smoothie king. Like the closest Smoothie King to us was like Yeah, it was like it was it was like three hours away that of the of a smoothie king that we could have gotten.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:14

No, I wanted to try it. I wanted to try the ketchup smoothie, bro.

SPEAKER_01 1:40:19

I wanted to try it.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:20

I'm you know what I would be more interested in trying? What's up? Because like like because tomatoes are fruit, right? Exactly. That's probably what we're playing with here, right? Right. It's a fruit. So is an avocado, and I think that would taste better as a smoothie.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:34

I mean, they I think they do use avocado in some smoothies.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:38

They probably do.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:39

I mean, they use tomatoes in some smoothies.

SPEAKER_05 1:40:41

Like, what like what are we doing here?

SPEAKER_06 1:40:42

No, yeah, they do, yes, they do.

SPEAKER_05 1:40:44

What are we doing here? Yes, they do.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:46

Yes, they do. Like, what even is a bloody Mary? What even is a bloody Mary? And I think those are disgusting.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:54

Okay, hold on, hold on.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:56

See? Now you now you piss Grizz off. Now he's angry.

SPEAKER_01 1:40:59

I would say they taste like shit. They're trash. If I'm drinking alcohol, I don't want to be feeling like a no here, Grizz.

SPEAKER_06 1:41:08

Have your cup of Tabasco sauce.

SPEAKER_01 1:41:12

No, give me my fucking jack and coke and let me keep it moving.

SPEAKER_02 1:41:15

Alright, chill out. Yeah, calm over there.

SPEAKER_06 1:41:18

Oh, he's he's big man. Look what you did. You triggered him with the with a Heinz ketchup fucking smoothie. God, that's so disgusting. God damn it, Chris.

SPEAKER_02 1:41:29

Yeah, I agree. You didn't even get to try it though.

SPEAKER_01 1:41:32

You didn't even get to try it. You don't need to try it. Just say it with me. Heinz Ketchup smoothie.

SPEAKER_06 1:41:38

It sounds delicious. It sounds good. It sounds sounds amazing. I would try it. Smoothie kitty, if you are listening, if you're listening, please bring it back and make it just nationwide so I can try it. Please. I beg of you. Anyway, go ahead, Chris. What were you saying?

SPEAKER_03 1:41:51

I was gonna say the Bloody Mary concept makes me think of an adult version of an already adult drink, which is V8.

SPEAKER_06 1:42:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:42:01

Which when I was a kid, my grandma always bought a lot of V8s because she's grandma and grandmas drink V8s apparently. Who doesn't love V8? I mean, like, you could have had one, bro. You could have had one. I didn't not love it, but she would but I'll because I would I would always want a soda, and she's like, Well, I got water or V8? And I'm like, Well, it's in a can.

SPEAKER_06 1:42:20

Yeah, so it'll it'll give me the feel of a soda, but it don't taste like it.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:25

It don't taste like it.

SPEAKER_06 1:42:26

That's just no. That's no soda. So to be fair, to be fair, V8 I don't like V8. V8 has come has come a long way. They do have other they they have other flavors that are ones now. Yes, that are really good. And uh they they've come a long way.

SPEAKER_01 1:42:41

Like original those flavors have added more sugars and more preservatives and original V8.

SPEAKER_06 1:42:48

No, I no, no, I don't think so. But original V8 the OG V8 is true. It's not that bad. It's just tomato juice. It's tomato juice.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:57

Like, what is the what is the problem here?

SPEAKER_01 1:42:59

Tomato juice, and then there's like celery fresh glasses of fucking tomato juice.

SPEAKER_06 1:43:04

Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on. I can at least get my veggies in there. You know what I'm saying? Get my daily dose of vegetabie tables because we need more veggie tables and fruits in our lives. I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:16

He's not wrong, however.

SPEAKER_01 1:43:18

I just don't want it in the form of juice.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:21

I don't want it in my smoothie, bro.

unknown 1:43:24

Thank you.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:26

I don't understand.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:27

You know what my problem is? My problem is is it looks like it's trying to be a milkshake, and that's fucking me up.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:33

Yeah. Right.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:34

Like visually, how do you feel?

SPEAKER_01 1:43:36

I don't know. No, no, how do you feel when someone comes in with a thing of cookies, you open it up, it looks like chocolate chips, you take a bite, and it's fucking raisins.

SPEAKER_06 1:43:44

I mean you can say you could you can tell the difference between raisins and chocolate chips. If you can, then something's wrong with you.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:52

I'm not I have not in the last 10 years gotten tricked by a oatmeal raisin cookie thing. Because visually I can see it before it gets to my mouth. Exactly. You could tell a wrinkly old raisin.

SPEAKER_06 1:44:04

Yeah, you could tell a wrinkly old raisin versus bad eye vision.

SPEAKER_01 1:44:09

If you're not paying attention, if you're not paying attention and they're in a row of chocolate chip cookies next to each other, and a row of oatmeal or or or fucking fucking raisin cookies next to each other, and you quickly have just the black dot cookie and you put it in your mouth. No. You're come on.

SPEAKER_06 1:44:28

You're incredibly far-sighted, right?

SPEAKER_02 1:44:30

Like like you might have to put your contacts in.

SPEAKER_01 1:44:40

If you don't have your cheaters on, I can see how you got the cheaters. I didn't bite into it, I but I I I didn't catch it. So at work, there was they'd get this uh sub place, and the sub place would throw cookies in these boxes, and it was oatmeal raisin.

SPEAKER_06 1:44:58

Like they even they even smell different. Like, like what are you doing? It was in tetophane and everything else.

SPEAKER_03 1:45:04

Two of your senses are down.

SPEAKER_01 1:45:08

Smell and fucking sight.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:11

I could I could totally get on board with what you said.

SPEAKER_05 1:45:17

Your senses are down. Because literally, oatmeal has a has a smell. Like you can smell an oatmeal cookie as opposed to a chocolate chip cookie.

SPEAKER_01 1:45:28

Like, I'm making a making a raisin cookie with no oatmeal. It's just gonna be a raisin cookie. I'm getting you like.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:33

Okay, whatever. I'm still gonna be like, bruh, no, give me chocolate chip. Then again, I like raisins, so I wouldn't be I wouldn't be upset about it. I will eat it, I'll gobble it up. No, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_03 1:45:42

You're expecting the chocolate, the tastiness of chocolate chip. No, this just makes me want to bake chocolate chip cookies and make a dozen, but one of them one of them is a raisin cookie.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:52

Oatmeal raisin.

SPEAKER_03 1:45:53

But it's in the middle somewhere.

unknown 1:45:55

Do it.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:56

Watch it.

SPEAKER_05 1:45:57

Try it. Watch try it.

SPEAKER_02 1:46:00

Put them in like a Pringles can type situation so you don't you don't see where the oatmeal is. Oh, thanks, man. We need to make some cookies oatmeal roulette.

SPEAKER_04 1:46:11

We need to make some cookies and it's just called some six.

SPEAKER_03 1:46:14

It's a six-pack. Oatmeal roulette. It's a six-pack. They're in they're in a pringle box. Yes. And one of them is an oatmeal raised. In a different spot each time.

SPEAKER_06 1:46:23

Yes, one of them is an oatmeal. That's a great idea. That's a fantastic idea. I think Chips Ahoy needs to get involved.

SPEAKER_02 1:46:30

No, they need to get up all my ideas. My idea. I'm gonna be so pissed.

SPEAKER_06 1:46:36

Anyway, anyway. Five percent. Talking about a collaboration, right? FMJ cookies. Yeah, FMJ cookies. Oh, could you imagine? Could you imagine that's a product of ours? FMJ cookies, and it's just the it that's the one cookies it is. It's the FMJ oatmeal roulette cookies. Oh my god, what an idea. Write that down.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:00

It chips my hoy.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:01

Yeah, stay off, stay off our idea.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:04

Or partner with us.

SPEAKER_06 1:47:06

Yeah, or partner.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:06

Yeah, whatever whatever, whatever, whatever float your boat.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:09

Wait, you have the cookies, we have the ideas. We have the ideas.

SPEAKER_06 1:47:12

We have the ideas. We're we're bright. We're we're bright. Anyway. Anyway. Collaborations in in fast food. Some of them do work. Some of them are really really really good. Some of them are just like I almost snapped on Popeyes because they right now have a collaboration with One Piece. And and Oh, that's right. Yeah. So when I seen it, I was like, that's it? Like it was just like a two-piece meal and a and a strawberry lemonade. I was like, they didn't name anything.

SPEAKER_03 1:47:45

Wait, it wasn't a it wasn't a one piece meal?

SPEAKER_06 1:47:47

No. Which is weird, which is odd. You get a two-piece for one piece. So I I was like, I was like, bruh, like they couldn't name like they couldn't call like a like like like a like a devil fruit or a gum, you know, whatever. But when I did some more digging, yes, they do, they kind of did they they did what I thought they should have done. But I will say I think they failed on the on the one piece meal or on the two-piece meal. I think what I would have done um is do because if if anybody has watched One Piece, uh, if you know anything about it, gear three, like Luffy kind of gets like, you know, like hardened black skin, because he's like he's rubber, right? Like he's rubber, so he almost turns into like like a tire, like a hardened tire. I would have done like a uh like a gear three blackened chicken, right? Like I would have done that. I would have done that. That would have been me. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_03 1:48:39

But that would have been a good idea.

SPEAKER_06 1:48:41

That'd have been solid, right? That'd have been solid. Cause it they they'd have been like, oh shit, yeah, gear three, because he kind of okay, I get it, I get it, I get it. But you know, it is what it is. They they they did what they did. They they got saved. I was literally gonna get on here and be like, Popeyes, you lazy pieces of shit. But no, they they they did they did their they did their due diligence. It turned out Wendy's was the ones that I thought was the laziest. So anyway. I'm sorry, Yeti. Pre-triggered. Sorry. But let us know, fire off in the comments, uh what you what worked for you? What collaboration worked for you, which one didn't, you know, because sometimes they're a hit, sometimes they are I don't know. I don't know what they were thinking, but they did it, you know. It it happened. So let us know how you feel. Fire off in the comments. Text us. I'm trying to stress this this season. Get up there where it says text us here, hit the button, and shoot us a text message. I'm telling you to listen, I'll give you ten bucks if you do it. Anyway, Chris, I think it's high time that you give us a thought.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:55

Okay, so this one's this one's out there. How does

SPEAKER_06 1:50:00

a sponge hold water if it has holes so I think so I think so I think what it is is the material itself is super absorbent like a like a towel right a towel is super absorbent and that doesn't have holes and it can like you know you have to bring it out no it does have holes a towel has holes no but I think you need new towels but the but the material that was holding the water has holes wait wait wait you're telling me that your towels don't your towels don't have no my towels don't I don't have holy towels these are not the Lord's towels okay I pray to mine every day oh I I'm sure you do okay wait wait wait wait wait for the joke Lord you want to take this whack away for me if you listen to this show there's glimpses of greatness and then you end it with that's just us that's just us it's just it's just this what it is but no like the sponges with the holes I think it's just to let it breathe right so mold and stuff doesn't like completely grow on it you know I'm saying excuse me um I don't know I think I think that there's yeah don't worry about it I think sponges are a government conspiracy to make us think they're listening devices they're in every household those those holes aren't holding water those are just little microphones there's a reason there's a reason why sponges look like the surface of the moon it's all connected it's all connected it's all connected it's all connected to the other project until they cut it up into sponges and gave it to the consumer what the fuck is wrong with this I don't know I don't know but I love it uh but yeah I would probably I'd venture to say that's probably that's probably how it holds it but I don't know the science of a sponge it is a mystery those people the anybody that makes sponges like maybe Scrub Daddy or people like that let us know how's that work yeah what's the science behind a sponge Mitchell's monster could you imagine Scrub Daddy's like oh so this is basically how it works you fucking dumbasses in stores near you yeah this is for the idiots out there yeah basically I think we'd have to make a video of how sponges work but here we are sorry sorry sorry we're not all smart like everybody else golly but um anyway um who's want who wants some fun in games who's ready for it let's hear it so I've I've been on a roll with these would you rathers so this is gonna I'm interested in seeing how this turns out would you rather fight a tiger or a bear oh my oh my lions and tigers and bears oh my i'm I'm not gonna lie to you I don't want to fight either either one so this is gonna be really hard for me to pick do we have to pick one like what's you gotta pick one you gotta pick one either fight a tiger or you fight a bear why do we have to fight either one just cuz just cuz just cuz uh very very similar very similar very similar situations on how you get into on how you're fighting a tiger or a bear you're just walking along one day in the zoo right like and then you just so happen to pass the enclosure and all of a sudden it's wide open you're like oh shit one's missing and then it just creeps up on you from behind you're like ah now you gotta fight what do you who you fighting tiger or my answer rum answer what's up I'm going tiger because the chances are when the tiger goes after their prey they always go toward the neck so the chances are your neck will be you're gonna die fast faster than a bear that's who would who mauls you to death they always say bears maul you to death so there's people that have survived both but they are fucked up from a bear you I've seen it. So Grizz would you fight a Grizz?

SPEAKER_03 1:54:13

Yeah would you fight a grizzly or would you fight Tony the tiger their defense is so high think about how much armor they have compared to a tiger tank like a bear bear is a tank dude I don't think I got it in me to take a bear down we just okay we just went to the Columbus Zoo and we seen I'd say these two bears were every bit of 1200 pounds. Two brown bears two brown bears by the way I mean tigers are like 500 pounds you know they're like they're like yeah they're like five six hundred pound cats and and they are they are like the deadliest of all the big cats yeah I'm going I'm I'm fighting tiger I think tiger tiger I'm fighting tiger not because I think I can win I'm fighting tiger because I think I'll die faster.

SPEAKER_06 1:55:02

That's fair that's fair that's fair so I'm going I'm going bear I'm going bear okay I'm gonna try I'm gonna try my luck and wrestle with I'm gonna try my luck and I'm gonna I'm gonna wrestle a bear that's what I'm gonna do that that yeah yeah yeah that that's exactly what I'm gonna do you know what I'm saying just because I guess it I guess I don't know what kind of bear it just doesn't specify what kind of bear you know I mean if it's a black bear you just you just fight back and they take off like they run they don't want to fight they're scavengers so you just and they're like oh they'll take off running yeah but you may still get one little swipe and you're done you might you I don't know hurt like a bitch that's just gonna that shit is them calls are a hot butter or hot knife food butter. I think I think you stand a better chance of survival with a bear than a tiger I'm just I'm just saying you do I'm just saying now yeah you'll survive yeah now if they're like survival now if they're like Kodiak brown bear fucking uh grizzly I'm just I'm not big ass Paul they always listen they always be telling you they always be telling you if it's brown lay down if it's black fight back so brown bears if you do lay in the fetal position that's crazy they'll knock you around a little bit they really will they'll they'll they'll knock you around it's gonna fuck it's gonna suck it's gonna suck what bear experience bear experiments here's the thing what kind of kahunas do you have to have to know that there's a black bear in front of you and you're like my best option right now is just to lay down and for you to be like a black bear black bear you want to fight back because if you lay down with a black bear if you lay in the fetal position with a black bear they are scavengers what they will do is they will rip you open and see what's inside yeah they will rip you open and see what's inside brown bear that's why they say if it's black fight back because the black bears don't want a fight so if you make yourself look bigger get loud more than likely they're gonna run away they're gonna leave you alone because they don't want to be around people anyway. But a brown bear they don't want that smoke. Exactly brown bearing I'm just saying you got some big ass gahoonas to be able to lay down in front of a brown bear yeah no shit that's all I'm saying well here's the thing you're not gonna outrun it you're not gonna make a like 25 miles a day and you're not gonna climb a tree to escape it because they can climb too so and better than you think you can like worship them a little bit you know you're just like hey okay here here here's the thing I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna go in through like a really really descriptive scenario.

SPEAKER_01 1:57:33

Go ahead put yourself here okay so you're walking through the woods okay you cut around the bend and there's a bear shit giant fucking Kodiak a fucking 1300 pound brown bear that hasn't eaten and is just you can hear it snarling you can hear it grunting you can hear the branch in the trees creaking every time that he walks or she walks whatever you've got nowhere to go you just learned what Jay talk and your first thought is I must lay down you immediately lay down you can hear the bear come from 30 yards to 20 yards to 10 yards this bear is now hovering over and you can hear the sound of his of his nostrils breathing into your ear you can feel the breath on the back of your neck there's no way you can physically feel and accept that what might happen or might not first and foremost that bear needs to take me to dinner okay if it's gonna get all intimate with me like that.

SPEAKER_06 1:58:32

Secondly secondly a brown bear typically doesn't attack attack you if it sees you before you see it right like if you startle it it's probably gonna attack because it's scared and it doesn't know what you are and then as long as you pose no threat which after you get your ass beat it's absolutely going to be like yeah exactly I showed you and then it's gonna walk away and then you're like I am so fucked up right now I need help help I need help help me but like obviously if their cubs are around they're gonna they're gonna be aggressive brown bears are tricky right now a polar bear they are the only bear on the planet that sees us as food as a food source. So polar bears are scary yeah they're that now they are aggressive and deadly just no matter what so I don't know I don't know I'm just I'm just saying I'm going with bear I'm going with bear just because sand geef Street Fighter it ties together and you guys are going Sagat fighting a tiger tiger tiger uppercut right you see how you see what I'm doing here do you see what I'm doing here?

SPEAKER_01 1:59:43

You see how tying it all together anyway you let us know what you would fight a tiger or a bear oh my fight off fight off in the comments and text us text us text us no fucking way what hold on hold on one second he just googled the size of a brown bear no no no no no no or the bite force of a tiger okay hold on one second let me just go to the tiger real quick tiger attacks come on stop no you stop we picked the wrong animal Grizz oh did you we picked the wrong animal did you were gonna die immediately I wanna hear it I wanna hear it I wanna hear it fucking dead I wanna hear it you ready for this so for bears there are 30 to 40 non-fatal attacks per year there's two to three fatal attacks per three per year with a chance of one in like 2.1 million chances of actually being attacked by a brown bear tiger attacks kill 40 to 100 plus people annually worldwide 56 deaths per year in India damn yeah so I wonder wait hold on I would be so interested to find out if those deaths are are um hunter related deaths like people hunting tigers and the tigers are fighting back I have an or that could be oh or if they're just like existing attacks are often caused by habitat loss with roughly 10 to 15 tigers becoming persistent man eaters annually.

SPEAKER_03 2:01:36

Yep yep so you know what's crazy it's people I I bet you I bet you I would be willing to put like I don't have any money to put on this realistically but if I had a lot of money to put on this I'll spot you 20 bucks I would be willing to bet if we were able to observe over time say 200 years probably longer because humans have been hunting tigers for a long time right but over time if if we stopped hunting them and just like let them be and gave them space I bet you they would become less aggressive. They probably would to be honest with you I bet you they're only aggressive because we give them a reason to be aggressive.

SPEAKER_01 2:02:19

Well usually they're saying that human populations are overlapping with tiger habitats I mean human population is overlapping with all habitats let's just be let's just be real here.

SPEAKER_03 2:02:32

We're taking over I don't I don't mean I don't mean to you know get on my PETA thing which you know I think PETA is a little bit to learn how to like um coexist live more more harmoniously coexist coexist with the nature around us right yep and I will say that I think Seattle is trying really hard or maybe it's the state of Washington but definitely here in Seattle they seem to be trying to um be conscious of that right like because we have a huge salmon spawn here and they're very protective of the waters like they they you know the streets here are like I mean they're not they're clean and not clean right it's it feels like when I go to New York New York feels dirty. Hell yeah right hell yeah like here here in Seattle like there are streets that are gross there's alleys that are gross from like humans being gross but the city comes through and like cleans it and like washes the streets and like it seems like they're trying right to be conscious and like there's a lot of money that gets poured into like um maintaining the waterways and stuff like that. So I think that if we just if more places had that same effort of living harmoniously with the environment around us instead of just like strong arming it.

SPEAKER_06 2:03:55

Yeah yeah and and and and I'll leave I'll leave you with this it that's why it's kind of it's kind of funny when people argue about animals in captivity like in zoos and stuff like that and I'm like we're taking over their their their territory though like we are literally like we're we're over capacity basically like we're reaching that point especially as humans and it's like these animals are running out of spaces that are natural to them because we continue to build up houses, industry infrastructure whatever it is you want to what you know whatever it is that we're doing. So it's like where do we put them you know what I'm saying at that point in time. There's a reason why there are endangered species. There's a reason why uh I think it's the king penguin right now is now endangered. It's like now that I think is natural because I think they're drowning or whatever. But regardless we are we are invading their territory so it's like where do they go?

SPEAKER_03 2:04:48

Yeah where do they go if we don't reserve like rhinos is a good example of an animal that we've endangered elephants.

SPEAKER_06 2:04:55

Yep elephants uh the you know we've we've had several animals that were on close to endangerment polar bears I mean they they've been they've been on the cusp for a long time so it's like you know what what do we do? You know they're like their food source is going away. Well why do you think that is it's like we're fishing all the time we're catching all these fish you know what I mean it's like they're they're they're getting pushed places that they probably are having a hard time finding food because of us I bet so I bet you can Kentucky starts seeing more black bears.

SPEAKER_01 2:05:25

Oh yeah because like they're they're they're moving closer and closer and it's a couple every year we get sightings on the outskirts. Yeah we'll we'll we'll see more they're picking up from Tennessee huh yep that yep no they they start migrating because think about all the people that's in Tennessee like it's becoming too populated with humans all the all the tourists and stuff so it's pushing and then that area is a big fire.

SPEAKER_03 2:05:48

That big fire in the smokies like that probably pushed their habitat away yep yep so it's and bears are known to travel out of their zone.

SPEAKER_01 2:05:56

Yep.

Greenland Shark Fun Fact And Wrap

SPEAKER_06 2:05:57

So it's like that's why I'm saying I I just find it funny when people say oh we shouldn't have them in captivity but they live longer in captivity than they do on the wild because you know people but anyway um let's not get too far off in the weeds on that span yes that's a whole nother episode spam new to your pets glimmers there's glimmers of greatness on the show and then there's glimmers and then we say something like hey remember that guy that didn't remember his ASL training like that's anyway who wants a fun fact who wants a fun fact did you know that the longest living fish is a Greenland shark hell yeah the Greenland shark is the longest living shark species on planet Earth. But because it is so different from other sharks it is much harder to date. I bet they like a good stake though most other sharks have growth bands that appear on their fin spines in the same way that a tree has growth has growth rings. However, a Greenland shark has no hard tissue in their body and does not grow such bands. The only way to correctly estimate that shark's age is through carbon dating which is not an especially accurate measurement. Using this process scientists manage to date one female at an age of between two hundred and fifty two and five hundred twelve years old. Now that's a very big window but remember they said carbon dating isn't super accurate especially when it comes to dating animals species. The cold waters that they inhabit mean that they are likely they likely have very slow metabolisms which could account for their longevity as well as their slow swim speed.

Tired of your old-fashioned buttery popcorn that tastes like it's been sitting at the bottom of a theater popcorn machine all day? We have just what you're looking for. Our popcorn makes you feel as though you're snacking smart, but honestly, it's just popcorn. We get our butter made with the same mid quality ingredients as that stuff we don't believe is butter and is clearly margarine. We wish we could be different, but our popcorn is going to barely scratch that itch for a good bowl of popcorn, whether you like it or not. Get you a bowl today in that exact same bowl we have from 1993. Tweetle D Light Popcorn. Same, same, but different.
