Historical Landmark number 1063. This
1:30
is the marker on the commemorative plaque
1:32
outside the Black Cat Tavern in Los
1:34
Angeles's Silver Lake neighborhood, where, on February
1:36
11, 1967, activists held one of the
1:39
first gay
1:41
rights demonstrations in the nation, two
1:44
years before New York City's historic
1:46
Stonewall riots. The
1:48
protest came in response to the actions of
1:50
the LAPD, brutal and useless then
1:52
as now, who raided the gay
1:54
bar and arrested patrons for same-sex kissing,
1:57
consequently forcing some of the convicted to
1:59
register. as sex offenders. Demonstrators
2:02
then organized and assembled, holding signs
2:04
reading, no more abuse of our
2:06
rights and dignity, abolish
2:09
arbitrary arrests, and in some
2:11
instances simply, peace in
2:13
Silver Lake. For much
2:15
of its history as a defined neighborhood, Silver
2:17
Lake was known as an enclave for gay
2:19
artists in the Latino working class. But
2:22
by the 2000s, as housing prices
2:24
pushed gentrification from LA's West Coast
2:26
ever eastward, Silver Lake rapidly transitioned
2:28
into its current state as a
2:30
hotbed for hipster doofuses. By
2:33
2012, when former fine dining chefs
2:35
Thomas Aono and Gitek founded a
2:37
ramen restaurant name for the neighborhood,
2:39
the conversion was complete. But
2:42
despite its surrounding areas reputation for
2:44
self parity, the noodle shop developed
2:46
a reputation for authenticity. Aono was
2:48
raised in Japan and studied under
2:50
a master ramen chef before perfecting
2:52
his recipe stateside. And
2:55
as the label Silver Lake has become
2:57
shorthand for cool and trendy, the
2:59
owners chose to keep the name as
3:01
the concept grew citywide and eventually into
3:03
a nationwide chain. With
3:06
30 plus locations in states coast to coast,
3:08
the growth of ramen's popularity in the US
3:10
can at least partially be traced through this
3:12
Silver Lake slurp shop. Today,
3:15
the Black Cat Tavern is still
3:17
open, though it now shares a wall
3:19
with a Shake Shack and it steps away from a
3:21
salt and straw and a sweetgreen. Not
3:24
to mention the headquarters of a fucking podcast
3:26
studio if you can believe that shit. And
3:29
just down the street is the original location
3:31
of that ramen chain, named for the neighborhood
3:33
where, over 50 years ago,
3:36
gay rights activists made their brave
3:38
and historic stand. This
3:40
week on Doughboys, Silver Lake
3:42
Ramen. Welcome.
4:00
Welcome to Doughboyz, the podcast about chain
4:02
restaurants. I'm Nick Weiger, along with my
4:04
co-host, Nisan
4:06
Altima-Gaib, the spoon
4:09
man, Mike Mitchell. Oh my God. Wow.
4:13
Mitch, this roast, let me give a little context here. I'm
4:16
reading from the submitter. I seem to remember Mitch
4:18
saying he drove a Nisan Altima, which is the
4:20
reason for the roast. But if
4:22
I'm wrong, then I guess it doesn't make any sense. Good
4:25
to know you remember my car. That
4:29
you probably said once on the podcast like four
4:31
years ago. You're the thing about me, Wags, I've
4:33
only owned two cars my entire life. That's wild.
4:36
What's the other car? Nisan Altima. Wow.
4:39
Wait, two Nisan Altimas? That's it. You're
4:41
an Altima man? That's all I've ever... So I
4:43
worked at an auto auction when I was a
4:45
boy. Yeah. When I was
4:47
16 or 17 or something in the summertime. I got
4:50
a Toyota for sale. We got a $1,000, $2,000, $2,000, $2,000, $2,000, $2,000, $3,000, $3,000, $3,000, right
4:52
here, $4,000,
4:55
$4,000 for the Toyota, $5,000 sold. Wise,
4:58
you would be that guy, the auctioneer. I
5:00
would be the guy who would... I would
5:02
go get cars, but new cars for
5:04
the dealership. Were you a repo man?
5:06
No. Oh, do you think I was a repo
5:09
man? I don't know. 16 or 17 years
5:11
old. I go up in the hill, there'd be
5:13
a chase car, and we go up and we get
5:15
cars that were being brought down to the dealership. Wow.
5:18
dealership in Quincy. And so I
5:21
dealt with Nisan Altimas, Maximas. There were
5:23
a few VW Beetles in there. They
5:25
were all like new cars. That's
5:27
how I learned to drive stick, but I've forgotten how
5:30
to drive it since. My first car was a stick,
5:32
but I don't know if I could still do it.
5:34
I don't know if I could do
5:36
it. And
5:39
then I would bring those cars down, and
5:41
then they would take them off to the
5:43
dealership. Very interesting story, but I drove an
5:45
Altima and Maxima, and I was
5:47
like, these are nice. The Maxima was like the expensive
5:49
version of the Altima. And then I
5:52
went to Ithaca and I had some
5:54
money from work, and my parents were
5:56
like, we hate driving you to Ithaca.
5:58
This is my softball. year and they're
6:00
like we're gonna help you buy your first car. And
6:03
you've had that since you've had this car since college.
6:05
No that was so that was my first that was
6:07
your first car okay. Yeah I didn't have a car
6:09
but my sophomore year college is the first time I
6:11
had a car. Got it. My sister had a she
6:13
called it Red Rover my grandma's car which was a
6:16
Ford Escort and I drove that a lot. I had
6:18
a grandma car I bought for my grandma. And I
6:20
actually I actually I was in it when it died
6:22
yeah but I like I like I
6:24
went to like I would go to Derrymart which is I'm
6:26
not even gonna explain what it is. It's like a 7-eleven
6:28
and I went inside there and my friends had turned the
6:31
car around. That's like how like it would they like picked
6:33
it up and turned it around. Oh you've told me this
6:35
before. Yeah it's a fun little prank. Yeah it was a
6:37
fun prank. Yeah that's a lot of fun. But I but
6:39
then I went ultimate I never went back so I've had
6:42
two the day my dad told me he was gonna die
6:44
we bought the sec my second car. Fun
6:46
story. I thought so.
6:48
What's that? That's the car you have
6:51
now? Yeah. He
6:55
was it was the day after what's going on.
6:57
Yeah. And he was your pilot which you shot.
6:59
The pilot we shot and he was like I'm
7:01
sick and then I needed a
7:03
new car. He's like let's go car shopping and we want car
7:05
shopping. It's really nice for him. Yeah it was it was very
7:08
nice it was a nice it was a nice gift but now
7:10
it's it's time for
7:12
a new one. Yeah. And I want you listeners
7:14
to decide what car am I gonna drive? Is
7:16
it gonna be a limo? A smart
7:20
car. A van? One of those
7:22
old-fashioned ones like a steam car.
7:24
Maybe a Humvee? A Humvee? Why
7:26
was limo first? Do
7:29
you drive the limo or do you get driven
7:32
in the limo? I'll get driven around in the
7:34
limo if that's what you guys want. You decide.
7:36
The listeners. All right the listeners will wait in
7:38
they want you to get a Nissan Ultima. I
7:43
think I might go
7:45
electric. Okay I've gone
7:48
electric. You
7:51
know it. Yeah now I've got electric myself.
7:53
These younger kids don't get it. We were
7:55
doing the electric slide left and right. Yeah.
7:57
Mm-hmm. I'm
8:00
gonna finish this email. I guess you're- The Macarena didn't
8:02
even exist yet, kids. We were electric sliding. It was
8:04
before. We were born before the Macarena.
8:06
We should do a dance episode. Our listeners who were
8:08
born in 1999 are Googling Macarena.
8:11
The fuck is that? Maca? What?
8:15
Did you mean Morocco? Macarena? I
8:18
think Mitch meant Morocco. Mitch
8:21
doesn't know Morocco. That's what it turns into. It's
8:25
ignorant that Mitch does not understand this
8:27
political situation in Morocco. You
8:29
get in trouble. That's why you listen to the show. You
8:32
wanna hear me talk about Morocco? You're
8:35
here to hear me tell you about how my dad told me he was
8:37
gonna die and then I get a car. That's
8:39
what happened. Two ultimates
8:41
in a row. Two cars. That's all I've ever had. Pretty
8:43
efficient for the planet, I'd say. That is, Mitch. Good
8:45
for you. First car in college. Pretty
8:48
late for a car, I guess, but I'm sure
8:50
people- You know, whatever. All
8:52
right, finishing this email. I guess you
8:54
could also use Baron Vladimir Harkonnen's before
8:56
picture. The spoon man Mitch, all that's
8:58
pretty mean. Or Shy Hog Lude, the
9:01
spoon man Mike Mitchell. And if you're
9:03
looking for a Weiger roast, he could
9:05
be Spillgar. I like that. Stillgar, but
9:07
Spillgar, because they tend to spill. Sorry
9:09
this email is so sweaty. Jeremy in
9:11
Nashville, roasts at birdfuck.com. I
9:14
have a little hot pepper flake in my mouth. I had to get it out. Sorry,
9:17
I just had to let everyone know that. Was
9:21
it from our meal? It was from our meal. Wow. Speaking
9:24
of spills, you did spill. I did spill. And
9:26
so did I. But also my spill was cool.
9:29
You spilled into another container. Yes, and
9:31
you spilled onto yourself. Our guest is
9:33
nodding that it was a cool spill.
9:35
Yeah. Like I said, it made it
9:37
tastier, honestly. Yeah. Weigers,
9:42
it's been a tough week with food. We
9:44
gotta do a, we have
9:46
to do a healthy month. We're gonna figure it out. We'll give
9:49
ourselves a little bit of a breather. It's
9:51
just this week, I wanna give a rundown of,
9:53
I'm trying, so I'm trying to slim down. So
9:55
I just wanna give us a rundown of what,
9:58
I've had Korean fried chicken. on Saturday, or
10:00
sorry, Korean fried chicken on Sunday, Korean
10:03
fried chicken on Monday, fried
10:06
chicken on Wednesday, New
10:08
Orleans style with mashed potatoes and mac and
10:11
cheese and everything, and then
10:13
ramen today, and a Mexican
10:15
dinner with you on Monday night. And
10:17
none of this is for the podcast. All
10:21
of it was for the podcast except for the Mexican
10:24
dinner, which was great, a
10:26
great time. But
10:28
it's too much. It's
10:31
too much. It's excessive. It's because we're banking records,
10:33
because we're doing multiple records in a row. And
10:35
so we've got a bunch of heavy meals today,
10:38
this week, including today, which we'll get into. But
10:41
yeah, we'll figure it out. We'll do some sort of break
10:44
for our digestive tracts. Yeah.
10:46
We'll figure it out. You got a
10:48
drop to play. Am I hitting with a drop?
10:52
What is a maple leaf? Like
10:54
a maple tree? Yeah, it's like a maple
10:56
tree's leaf. You
10:59
know maple syrup? That kind of comes from
11:01
trees and those trees have... You know what
11:03
a tree is, right? What
11:06
is a tree? Make
11:09
like a tree and get out of here. I
11:13
believe that was Scott Joplin's maple leaf rag. Is
11:16
that the source for that little piano, Diddy?
11:18
I don't fucking know. Which is very fitting for
11:21
a maple leaf centered roast, if that's what that
11:23
was. Is that a real tea free? Because that's
11:25
what they claim. It might've been a real
11:27
tea free. Because I think that
11:29
the composition is in the public domain. So if
11:31
it's a real tea free recording, you're probably fine.
11:34
Do you think any human here knows that?
11:37
Do you know that? Our
11:39
guest has no idea. How many humans? Our
11:41
guest has no idea what the hell that
11:43
means. I don't know. Maybe some listener out
11:45
there knows from rag time. Does the ghost
11:47
staff know? I did not know. Does
11:50
anyone know who Scott Joplin is? I know Scott
11:52
Joplin. More famous for the entertainer is Diddy. I
11:54
know his sister. Yeah, it did seem the same.
11:58
Wow. That was
12:00
a big age gap there. Yeah, yeah, rock and roll. Yeah,
12:04
that was rock and roll, you know? That's rock and roll. An
12:07
impossible age gap. What's up,
12:09
Dofam? Thanks for all the years of dumb podcasts.
12:11
You know what's funny? I was going to try
12:13
to sing a Bobby McGee. That's
12:15
where I should have gone. I was trying to think of
12:18
a Janis Joplin song. And I
12:20
couldn't even think of Bobby McGee. We're old
12:22
fucks. What's up, Dofam?
12:24
Thanks for all the years of dumb podcasts.
12:27
Truly a blessing in these dark times. What? Oh,
12:30
I guess. He's being nice. The smitter is being
12:32
nice. I just was like, is this from COVID?
12:34
But it is just now. It just means now,
12:37
yeah. I hope you enjoy. I
12:40
hope you enjoy my first attempt at a drop
12:42
featuring a little bit of Scott Joplin. Much
12:45
love, Chris B. PS, check
12:47
out my band, The Duskwales. The
12:50
Duskwales. The Duskwales. Good
12:52
job. Well done. Drop's at birth.
12:54
I hope the band's
12:57
better than that drop. Shots
12:59
fired at a lovely drop. That's a well-crafted drop. Well,
13:01
the drops are supposed to be stupid sounding. Yeah, actually,
13:03
I do hope the band is better than the drop.
13:05
Because if you want to see a band and they
13:07
played that, you'd be like, what the fuck? What
13:10
is this shit? This sucks. And they played,
13:12
what is it called? Maple Leaf? Maple Leaf Rag? Yeah,
13:14
I don't want to see a band play. Well, that sounds a
13:16
banger, but without themselves. It was 1930s. Not
13:19
much of a job pair there. Yeah. Yikes.
13:22
What can you do? I mean,
13:24
back then, there wasn't much choice. You go
13:27
to a bar and you'd hear that song
13:29
and you drink whiskey and sniffing salts.
13:31
What do they do? I don't know. Listen to an
13:33
entire baseball game on the radio. There was not a
13:35
lot to do. That sounds pretty good, honestly. It actually
13:37
does sound good. Wags
13:39
were banking. We're banking. This one
13:41
is this episode, as a lot
13:43
of the episodes we've recorded, is
13:46
fully ensconced in the Frank Bank. You
13:48
should put obey posters up. We're like Banksy. Is
13:51
that Banksy? I think that's a different artist. I don't know
13:53
about that, Shepard Fairey. Cron. Sheppard
14:01
fairy. Mitch, you gotta know your street
14:03
artist. What did Banksy do? Other
14:05
shit. Oh. I
14:08
don't know, does he have like a famous signature
14:10
artwork? I did like the girl with the flower.
14:12
Bunch of installations. Yeah. Cops gun.
14:14
Oh. Anything that looks like that.
14:16
We did Disneyland. We don't know who
14:18
he is, right? No, there's been some barriers. Isn't Sheppard
14:20
fairy the guy who's like connected with him? I
14:22
think Sheppard fairy has worked with him, but Sheppard fairy,
14:24
we know who he is. He lives in LA. I've
14:27
actually been to his house. Wow. You
14:30
been to Sheppard fairy's house? Yeah, for a podcast many,
14:32
many years ago called Those Feelest the Podcast that
14:34
doesn't exist anymore with Morgan Murphy and Robin Short,
14:36
we went and recorded an episode with Sheppard fairy.
14:38
Wow. That's how I learned he lives
14:41
right in LA. Did you see the Obey poster there?
14:43
He did have some of the Obey stuff up on
14:45
the wall. Wow, how about that? There you go. He
14:48
was a cool guy. That's cool. He's been arrested
14:50
like hundreds of times for his art,
14:52
which is also not cool enough. Did you ask him?
14:55
What was that? I could relate with him about that. You're
14:58
gonna slam her with him? What you
15:00
do to get in here? Did
15:05
you ask him what? Did you ask him what? I
15:07
was gonna say, to help Bail Mitch out, maybe
15:10
he's Banksy. He might be Banksy. He might be Banksy.
15:12
Isn't that the rumor that he is Banksy? He could
15:14
be Banksy. It's possible. Let's just say he
15:17
was Banksy. What did he do? I don't mean to say
15:19
you're wrong. What did
15:21
he do after Obey? What was the big one? Well,
15:24
he did the Obama. Did he do Hope? He
15:26
did do Hope. He did Hope. See, I got
15:28
so confused, because Mike Mitchell, the artist who's great,
15:32
and his name is Mike Mitchell, not me. But also I'm
15:34
Mike Mitchell an artist, I'm pretty crazy. Did
15:41
the Conan one, which was like
15:43
a take off of Hope. Well,
15:45
and you also, you have that poster in your home.
15:47
That's that, but it says, nope. That's
15:54
your aesthetic. What
15:56
was the thing? You used to have Hope. What was
15:58
it? You know, you say it. 20
16:01
years ago we had Bob Hope, Steve Jobs
16:03
and Johnny Cash. These
16:08
days we have no Hope, no
16:10
Jobs and no Cash. Hell
16:13
yeah. I hope Kevin Bacon
16:15
doesn't die. That's
16:18
the last, I always forget the last part of it.
16:20
Classic joke. Our
16:22
guest today, a writer, actor and comedian from
16:25
Sexlize of College Girls and the upcoming Golden
16:27
Axe, her new comedy dynamic special is Funt,
16:29
Sierra Kato, hi Sierra. Hey, good to be
16:31
here. Thanks so much for coming back. Very
16:33
funny special name, that's great. Oh, Funt, yeah.
16:36
Is it Portmanteau? Hmm. You,
16:39
last time we had you on the podcast was
16:41
over Zoom, it was deep pandemic. This was like
16:43
2020. Like that
16:45
was like pandemic pandemic, the dark times. Which
16:48
as you mentioned have been ongoing. Sure, sure, it's
16:50
just continuous now, but yeah, at the time we
16:52
thought maybe it might be temporary. Yeah.
16:54
You know, I have a take though, Hollywood
16:56
is back. What do you think?
16:59
Yeah, I like that. I like the optimism. I think
17:01
Hollywood is coming back. I think people are. Bob Hope.
17:04
Bob Hope is back. Hope
17:06
is not back exactly. But
17:08
I think that the people are sick of cynical
17:11
stuff. They want entertainment, they want media again
17:13
in a good way. Yeah, I think so.
17:15
I think certainly in terms of what people
17:18
have been responding to. Yeah. I
17:20
feel like people are going to the movies. We're always going
17:22
to the movies. They got, you know, Kingdom
17:24
of the Plant of the Apes. There you
17:26
go. I saw it last night. I like it more than
17:28
Dune 2. Casey would want you to hear that. Wise
17:32
specifically wanted me to say that. Yes, yeah,
17:34
yeah. Anyways, go on. I'm sorry I interrupted.
17:36
Hollywood is back. Maybe Hollywood is back. Spacey's
17:38
back, Wags. And a
17:40
new special that you were excited about. I'm going to watch
17:43
that special. I'm just, what was
17:45
it called? Like Catching Spacey or something
17:47
like that? I said you learn from
17:49
his mistakes for you. That's on that
17:51
right. Yeah, yeah, don't make those moves.
17:55
So here's my question going back to
17:57
the pandemic. Like did that because it
17:59
certainly. did for me. Did that change your
18:01
eating habits or did you get back to
18:04
some sort of sense of normalcy once
18:06
the world reopened? Yeah, I think it
18:09
did because we got more into cooking.
18:11
My fiance cooks a lot more now
18:13
and has gotten to
18:15
an extreme level where and then I
18:17
eat it all. And I think that's great because we
18:19
save some money. Right. I'm doing a lot of the grocery things.
18:21
Sounds like this pandemic whipped him into shape. Get in the kitchen and- Yeah, come on, give
18:23
me another pandemic. Let's go. Come on, make some food.
18:25
Come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think it definitely
18:27
made us more upping the level and
18:30
I'll do it. I'll make some good things here and there. I
18:32
learned how to make some
18:34
juck. No, that's like a porridge. I
18:37
did it in the rice cooker. That's
18:39
cool. And there's some
18:41
things, yeah, more vegetables maybe. So yeah,
18:43
I think it made us more domestic. Wow.
18:48
You know how it changed my eating
18:50
habits? I ate without pants. Nice. The
18:54
pandemic. Yeah. Yeah, I
18:56
know. I was in my underwear. No,
18:59
I got it. I'll piece it together. No, I
19:01
know. Honestly, I feel like my eating habits
19:03
didn't change that much. Did yours? For a
19:06
couple of weeks, I had like, there was like, I
19:09
ate frozen dinner. Remember, there was like the month
19:11
where it was like, you got to get everything
19:13
and like- Well, we were cooking- You got to
19:15
stock up on food or whatever, like that period
19:17
of time. Fusters. Yeah, yeah. I think
19:19
it's easier when you have someone you
19:21
live with because we were also cooking more, but
19:24
it's not like the burden of like cooking for
19:26
one is sometimes a pain in the ass and
19:28
it's hard to get
19:30
the right proportions. Do you feel like you're making
19:32
too much or it's not worth the trouble of
19:34
making it? You know what I mean? Or am
19:37
I going to just have enough where I've eaten
19:39
leftovers for like a week? But so
19:41
I think that actually did
19:43
improve from our side, but the depressing thing that I'm
19:45
still feeling the effects of is I was just like
19:47
drinking so much. I was just so depressed. I was
19:49
just self-medicating with alcohol. Sure, yeah. And that was like
19:51
the real negative change to
19:53
my body and my mental
19:56
state. I think it was a confusing thing of
19:58
like, oh, like, It's hard
20:00
to go to grocery stores, which it was. It was awful. And
20:03
then also, the people, it was like,
20:05
it's bad if you get delivery. You
20:08
put a person in harm's
20:10
way, but then people are also trying to make
20:12
money. And also, people are at grocery stores. It
20:14
was just confusing of what was. No one knew
20:16
what to do. Right and wrong. It's a funny
20:18
thing of, after the Great Depression,
20:21
did podcasts talk about that for the
20:23
next five years or whatever
20:26
after it ended? Right. I mean,
20:28
I know that there were. Probably like it. Show
20:30
me a podcast in the 90s. It
20:33
was Jack Benny talking about this on his podcast. Yeah.
20:36
The OG podcast, the fireside chats,
20:38
I guess. Probably featuring
20:40
FDR. Have you
20:42
heard of him? We have nothing to
20:44
fear but fear itself. Now, a quick
20:46
word from me undies. They
20:51
made it through. They made it through. Yeah, they survived. Yeah.
20:54
Do you remember when Johnson's read for
20:57
me undies? Yeah, well,
20:59
he talked about his famous hog, yeah,
21:01
jumbo. And then he wanted the
21:03
stitching set up by his bung
21:05
hole. He's
21:07
very specific about his custom me undies.
21:10
Listen, if you're president, I guess so. Me undies will
21:12
do it for you. That promo
21:14
code LBJ still works, by the way. You
21:17
still get 20% off. Yeah, it's been adjusted
21:20
for inflation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK,
21:24
so like. The place is going on in his
21:26
pants with that jumbo. I
21:29
think it was supposedly gigantic. He's part of our tableau now.
21:31
I gifted you that episode. I was thinking about it. That's
21:33
why LBJ is on the brain. I
21:36
gifted you the Time magazine with Lyndon
21:39
Johnson. The very official Doughboys from our
21:41
Tournament of Champions. That's
21:43
right, the commissioner of Dough's Court. The
21:45
commissioner's lovely wife made. Yes. Yeah,
21:49
nice little art piece. We got a nice tableau
21:51
though. JJ's out today. We got JJ. Our
21:54
pop figurine of JJ Abrams. He's looking out. What
21:57
a. If you took him out of the
21:59
box, you would immediately. recognize who it was, right?
22:05
They just put glasses on the Johnny Galecki pop
22:07
figurine. OK,
22:10
we're talking. I want to talk about soup a little
22:13
bit. Young Sheldon pop in here. I wonder if they're
22:15
going to make a. They I'm sure they make a
22:17
young Sheldon. Yeah, 100 percent. I
22:20
want to talk about soup a little bit because we're
22:22
going to deep dive on soup here. But like stepping
22:25
back from ramen and just talking
22:27
like hot liquids in general. That
22:30
you eat, not that you drink. What
22:33
are your soup preferences? OK, it's
22:35
a weird way to phrase it all. But it's pretty normal.
22:37
But yeah, I was thinking, I mean, you
22:39
know, I think I'm doing sometimes the soup has
22:41
stuff you eat inside of it. Yes. But
22:43
yeah, OK. More of the drink and
22:45
do a miso, miso soup. Sometimes do
22:47
that in the morning. I'll
22:50
do a lot of you know, I like
22:52
I like a good Panera cheese
22:54
and broccoli. I do like a Panera cheese and
22:56
broccoli. That's a solid soup. You know, I once
22:59
got there early, a little early, and they
23:01
were bringing out the blocks, you
23:04
know, about this. So they have the
23:06
blocks of, I think, frozen probably, broccoli
23:08
soup that they ship in or whatever.
23:10
So you get the it's consistent across
23:12
the chains. And so I saw them
23:14
kind of carrying that block in the back once. And that kind of
23:17
I mean, it didn't it didn't take me off of it.
23:19
Yes, like I still drink it all the time and I
23:21
like a good bread bowl. But but
23:23
that was a shocking reveal. I like that. I
23:25
like a thing that you see that's like like
23:27
wood, maybe. Cause some people to
23:29
be like, I'm not going to do this anymore. But you're like,
23:31
I'm still in. If anything, I
23:33
think it does tell you, hey,
23:35
I'm getting some pretty good, you know,
23:37
consistent texture across the board, right? They're
23:39
pre packaging that, you know, I don't
23:42
need a different chef to come in
23:44
and add his own style to it.
23:46
You know, yes, I want from the warehouse.
23:49
My thought on that, I agree with you 100
23:51
percent. And I and I think that's a
23:53
great soup. That is a soup that to
23:55
me, though, is like it is. It's
23:58
like a calorie bomb. And
24:00
it's really heavy, but it's really fun. Yeah,
24:02
I mean that's like a Dangerous
24:06
lunch soup. Yeah, I mean
24:08
I will say I haven't had in a while
24:10
It was definitely more of like a you know
24:12
teenage metabolism thing probably at the time And
24:15
I'm also lactose intolerant now, so probably should
24:17
stay away unless I'm really you know Tossing
24:20
back those lactate pills, which I do do you
24:22
yeah, how often do you indulge in dairy? Yeah,
24:25
I mean, you know I try to stay away
24:27
from it But I would say sometimes still once
24:29
a day if I have if I'm like faced
24:31
with it Oh, you know we're all getting pizza.
24:33
Okay. I can take a couple pills Yeah, and
24:36
it'll be fine, but sure if I'm stacking that
24:38
it's probably not good I don't try
24:40
me I mean me and my droogs used to
24:42
go to the milk bar quite a bit likes
24:44
but yeah We're not as much anymore right yeah
24:46
me my druggies Well,
24:49
I mean you got in trouble with that whole home
24:51
invasion thing yeah, and then I got I got And
24:55
then I got you know I I was
24:57
recalibrated yeah, yeah, we went to that print
25:00
that institution we saw your hog Forget
25:04
about that everyone saw your hog, but
25:06
I miss hanging with my drew I was hanging
25:08
out with your juice Yeah, I I
25:10
don't I don't do I rarely drink milk I
25:13
mean I can't even think of a time of
25:15
unless it's like truly when I'm drinking milk. It's
25:17
like for I'm eating spice Exactly
25:22
Cuz milk is like the the fentanyl of dairy.
25:24
It's like. It's like pure dairy It's so potent
25:26
you know but like so I even as someone
25:28
who eats dairy And I don't have I'm very
25:31
fortunate to not have a lactose intolerance. I
25:33
like for me It's like yogurt and cheese those
25:35
are be my go-to's you know actually I do
25:37
great this morning You know it was great. Isn't
25:40
it funny that I mean like I know yogurt
25:42
is a dare. Yeah congratulations Thanks
25:45
Emma Casey Thank
25:47
you No, I think I
25:49
already congratulated you on the yogurt chat where you
25:52
do the same thing where you post your yogurt
25:54
you get congrats I
25:59
I forget that Yogurt is I mean, I
26:01
know it's dairy-based but like I don't think of
26:03
it as dairy-based cuz it's so good for your
26:06
God, right cuz of the active bacteria Even
26:09
if you are lactose intolerant yogurt said okay
26:11
one for the heart I will say I
26:13
have a history with milk where you know
26:15
I wasn't lactose intolerant till a few years
26:18
ago But I was one
26:20
of those kids where my mom was really pushing the
26:22
milk because it was about milk and you got a
26:24
row And so I wasn't I was like
26:26
if I had a cup of water in my hand It
26:28
was like what are you drinking? That should be milk. Yeah
26:32
I don't think I drink anything but milk for
26:34
a long time I certainly talked
26:36
about that on the podcast before that was that for
26:38
me was just like my dinner beverage And I just
26:41
thought that's what you were supposed to have with with
26:43
dinner is you had a full glass of milk And
26:45
so like I get to college and I'm like having
26:47
you know Whatever like a chicken sandwich and a full
26:49
glass of whole milk and my roommates like what the
26:51
fuck are you doing? I didn't even realize that it
26:54
was an option to not drink milk with dinner I
26:56
just thought it was a thing to do yeah well
26:58
my mom would have loved you as a son Man
27:02
your college year is finding out you can't you're
27:04
not supposed to drink milk Where
27:14
do you Mitch where do you like what are your
27:16
your favorite soups? I know we've talked about this before
27:18
but well we did the soup right here. I got
27:21
a lot of shit for that Yeah, so you had
27:23
a Mitch had a soup taxonomy that I think a
27:25
lot of us were kind of like hey That's just
27:27
a little bit restrictive, but you're you remember your four
27:29
categories. I stand by it Okay, it was I
27:31
think it was like because I remember
27:34
what they were ramen pho Chowder
27:36
right yes, and then soup
27:38
yes Which
27:41
like I know that ramen
27:44
and pho soup, and there's a lot
27:46
of different things But I was just saying in
27:49
a way. I think that that still makes sense I
27:52
mean and I mean I'm not gonna stand
27:54
by it that bad, but in a way
27:56
it makes sense to me Soops covers like
27:58
boring basic American iced soups I
32:00
like to clam chowder, but I
32:02
was in New England. Like
32:05
an Italian wedding soup I think I
32:07
liked. I think I liked a meatball-y with
32:09
little noodles and I think I liked that. I
32:12
had never tried ramen, had never tried pho until,
32:15
I mean, I think I had like
32:17
ramen noodles, the ramen, you know, like
32:19
ramen cup noodles. Yeah, instant noodle thing.
32:21
Instant ramen, which like every college kid
32:23
is like, I had to live off
32:25
ramen. I was like, you're at college,
32:27
shut up. I mean,
32:29
like I know some, there's a lot of people who work but
32:32
like, this rich kid, yeah. Like
32:35
a rich kid who's larping is poor. Yeah,
32:37
he's a lot of college students. Nick over here
32:39
was chugging milk. That's sandwich, so suck it up.
32:44
A lot of you just lying to yourselves, you were fine.
32:48
And you weren't poor, you just like to say that you had
32:51
to eat ramen every night. Your
32:53
families were very wealthy. Just
32:55
to let you know, you're crazy people. I'm
32:59
just letting them know, I'm just letting them
33:01
know that they're lying to themselves. But I
33:03
did eat, so I wasn't that wealthy, so
33:06
I had to eat ramen noodles. No,
33:11
I ate those every so often in like
33:13
instant mac and cheese. But I never had,
33:15
I mean, when I got here and I
33:17
tried ramen for the first
33:20
time, it
33:22
was, it's mind blowing.
33:24
It's a completely different thing. And
33:28
same with pho. I mean, I never
33:30
even had pho before. And I know
33:33
they're very different soups. I mean, but
33:35
I had never tried either of those soups until I
33:37
was in LA and it was like, I
33:40
didn't even know. I
33:42
don't like soup that much and then these are like,
33:44
oh, I wanna go and get these for lunch. I
33:47
never had a craving to get a soup for
33:50
lunch Yeah.
33:52
Now he does soup for lunch all the
33:54
time. That's impressive. Yeah. It just
33:56
doesn't satisfy, I don't know how you feel about it, but
33:58
it doesn't like. It doesn't scratch the
34:00
itch as much, or if it's that thing of you
34:02
were saying the broccoli and cheddar, and it has to
34:04
be a bomb. You
34:07
know what I mean? It has to be a gut bomb. Sure. I
34:10
do think it's the, maybe because
34:12
it's also you're getting to
34:14
customize it, and you get to add your little basil
34:16
and do some street rock or whatever. I
34:19
think that makes it into more of a
34:21
meal, or it feels like you're getting something
34:23
out of it that feels really specific to
34:25
you. But yeah, if
34:27
it's just chicken noodle, yeah,
34:29
it'd be nice to get a little sandwich on the side
34:31
or some toast. I
34:34
mean, tomato soup, for instance, it's like the grilled cheese
34:36
with the tomato soup. 100%. That seems like that's a
34:38
full meal, but I don't know if just one is
34:40
the right thing. That, I will say,
34:42
anytime I'm in a situation where I
34:44
can get soup, salad, half sandwich, and
34:46
it's pick two, I'm in
34:49
heaven. That's like a great lunch. And
34:51
that's a Panera thing you can get off of. By the way. You
34:53
bet. No. When we went to
34:55
that Mexican restaurant the other night, you had the
34:57
option for soup or salad. What
35:00
did you choose? I opted for salad, but it
35:02
was because we had a heavy day of eating.
35:04
Well, well, well. I love soup. Mr. Soup Man
35:06
went for salad. What did I say was Mr. Soup Man?
35:09
Guess who got a fucking soup? Me, the spoon man. I
35:11
got a soup. It was
35:13
great. It was- You're attacking me
35:15
for something I didn't even claim. I was gonna say it was Mr. Soup
35:17
Man. I'm mad at you today. I
35:19
know you're mad at me. For no reason. You're the Celtics thing
35:21
you said the other day pissing me off. What did I say
35:24
the piss you off? You're rooting for the nuggets, you fucking piece
35:26
of shit. I guess I'm rooting for the nuggets. You're over my
35:28
house. But it's also- Wait,
35:30
hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on. I was
35:32
watching Celtics Cavaliers. This is really going to date this
35:34
because the NBA Finals will be over. And you know
35:36
what? The betting favorite right now is still the- July.
35:40
We know when this will be released. We absolutely know when
35:42
this is gonna be released. Congratulations to the final winners. I
35:44
hope I'm happy. The
35:46
betters favorite is still the Boston Celtics at this point.
35:49
Very well maybe your team. I'm
35:51
not rooting against you. I think that probably
35:54
as of now, and hey, I'll maybe be
35:56
proven wrong. I'll maybe be eating my words
35:58
by the time this is out. I think as of now, it looks- like the
36:00
Western Conference is stronger than the Eastern Conference, and probably
36:02
the Western winner will end up winning the finals. But
36:04
who knows? Are you confident in your boys in green?
36:07
I mean, they haven't looked great through the first two
36:09
rounds. Yeah, that's the thing, and they haven't been challenged at
36:11
all. But they still won 4-1 in each round. They still
36:14
won 4-1 against two teams that had a lot of
36:16
injuries. They obviously have Porzingis injured, too. So, you know,
36:18
it's just like they haven't faced the kind of competition that
36:20
is in the West. Porzingis is injured, though, like you said.
36:22
Yeah, they're a loaded squad. They might win the title.
36:24
We'll see. We'll see. Why are you fucking mad at
36:26
me? I didn't do anything to you. I came over your
36:28
house at a number of times. I
36:30
didn't root for the Cavaliers. I was talking about, I'm
36:33
not really mad, but you call yourself Mr. Soup, and
36:35
then you get a fucking cello with Mr. Soup. I've
36:37
never once claimed to be Mr. Soup. I heard it. I
36:40
heard you say Mr. Soup, and I had the soup that
36:42
you said earlier, the meatball soup, what is it called? Albondigas?
36:44
Yeah, I think it was kind of like that. Yeah, it
36:46
was a good soup. It was a good soup. And
36:48
my cello was pretty bad, so I should have gotten the soup. Why are
36:50
you mad at me? I don't know. You
36:52
fucking attacked me. You
36:55
know what I am, Mr. Soup? He said
36:57
it. They call me Mr.
36:59
Soup. Oh, no.
37:04
That's what he went to prison for. Big
37:08
C. Finally
37:11
nabbed Mr. Soup behind bars. I
37:16
thought of a nursery rhyme thing today that
37:18
I forget what it was, that I was going to
37:20
say to you. What
37:23
an insane thing to say. I
37:25
thought of a nursery rhyme thing today and I forgot what it was.
37:31
You know how we've talked about stuff you say in the
37:33
bus, like us kids are the best or whatever, from east
37:35
to west. And you never know any of those. And I
37:37
thought of another one. I can't remember what it was. I
37:40
was trying to think of what it was. That's why I
37:42
was getting mad. It's getting mad at my own brain. And
37:44
all I can think of is milk, milk, lemonade around the
37:46
corner, fudges, that's not it. That's not it. That's not the
37:48
one I'm trying to think of. That's nasty. We don't
37:50
say shit like that. Yeah, we don't say shit like
37:52
that. That's fucking disgusting. People are eating. Unless
37:55
it's literally there's two milk stores and then
37:57
a lemonade bar and then around the corner.
37:59
around the corner there is a fudge factory. That's the only
38:01
time I wanted. That's the only context in which I want. That's
38:04
the only context in which I want. But there's only one town
38:06
in America that has that. There is, yeah. They
38:08
don't talk about it. They
38:12
used to be all over this country, but now
38:14
it's just one town. It's at Walmart. Yeah. Yeah,
38:16
I remember in this country when there were milk stores next
38:19
door to each other. What happened? Next door
38:21
to a lemonade store. My droogs and I were
38:23
having a blast. There's so much demand for fudge that
38:25
fudge factories were in every town in America. It
38:28
does make me, Quincy had a candy factory at one
38:30
point. Wow. Yeah, it's just shut
38:32
down. I got caught in the chocolate pipe. Hahaha.
38:35
Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha.
38:38
Come on, see, that's, I can't
38:40
have anything nice. Did you have, did you have any,
38:43
wait, what is your hometown? Oh, outside
38:46
of Los Angeles, La Conchata. Oh, wow.
38:48
Okay, so. I did go to a
38:50
fudge store. Based on, is that the sweets or,
38:52
isn't there La Conchata sweets? Hmm.
38:58
To be La Quinta Inn? Oops.
39:00
Hahaha. Hahaha. I thought you
39:02
were talking about candy store.
39:05
Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha.
39:08
I don't know. I
39:10
don't know. Hahaha. I
39:12
don't know. Hahaha. Hahaha.
39:14
Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha. I
39:17
genuinely thought you were talking about a candy store.
39:19
Yeah, that's what it sounded like. Yeah,
39:21
that's what we were talking about. Hahaha. And
39:23
the candy and then getting stuck in the thing and,
39:25
Hahaha. So, yeah. So,
39:28
you were from La... Yeah, La Conchata.
39:30
La Conchata. Yeah, yeah. La Quinta Inn.
39:32
That's what it is. I see what
39:35
your brain did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I
39:37
also, yeah, I've passed by a few La Quintas. Am
39:39
I with a La Quinta Inn? Not
39:41
that crazy of a thing. I don't know La Quinta Inn that
39:43
well. Sure, sure. There's the
39:45
law. Right, but there is a connection. Hahaha.
39:48
Hahaha. There is the law. You gotta give
39:50
them that. There's a law. There's
39:52
a law. There's a law in there. And there is a
39:54
cue, right? Ah, I'm gonna put them in. Hahaha.
39:57
Don't ask me which one. I have no
39:59
idea. There is a connection though,
40:01
we talked about this before when you're on the podcast that
40:03
you spent some you went to college in Boston So you
40:06
lived there for a time, right? Right chowder
40:08
chowder town. Yeah Wow,
40:14
yeah, so yeah Cambridge, but you know,
40:16
I got introduced to a lot of
40:18
good New England stuff the chowder Yeah,
40:21
the Boston legal Were
40:28
you in the lampoon I was Comedy
40:31
I was waitlist I
40:37
was waitlisted at Harvard. Were you
40:39
really? Mm-hmm happen. We I G
40:43
It was like an experiment they were doing I Did
40:49
not apply to Harvard yeah, I
40:52
should have though Probably would have
40:54
gotten in probably would have gotten in Mitch
40:56
could have graduated from Harvard I mean
40:58
in reality. I probably could have graduated. Yeah, of
41:00
course you get it. Yeah, you saw people who
41:03
were dumb who were there. I'm sure Yeah,
41:11
how did you like the old lampoon? I mean, there's
41:13
some cool Yeah,
41:16
it's a pretty wacky looking building from the outside, you know,
41:18
it's got like a face and stuff and it's in the
41:20
middle of the street, so that's cool Did
41:24
you drive by when we were there? I don't think so It's
41:27
kind of like in like a little yeah, I
41:29
know I know the famous structure. Okay. Yeah. Yeah
41:31
Yeah, you've looked at you've seen the structure. I've
41:33
seen like a photo of the structure. Yeah I
41:36
believe you I believe you About
41:38
that. I don't know if you I don't think I
41:40
haven't seen it in person I was just
41:42
funny thinking of you like looking at the you know,
41:45
like looking at the structure online. That's all it's an
41:47
interesting Maybe not if you weren't wasn't even looking for
41:49
it. It was just like in an article about something.
41:51
I don't know I remember or maybe
41:53
you saw you but there was wasn't there a lampoon
41:55
movie? I mean, there's a lot of I
42:00
don't know what the title is, but yeah, there's something on Netflix.
42:02
That David Wayne did, right? Or no? Oh, yeah.
42:04
Yeah, maybe. Feudal and Stupid Gestures.
42:06
Yeah, yeah. Past
42:08
Doughboys Guest, David Wayne. That's right.
42:10
Oh, I see. I see. Oh, got it. Got it. And Armin
42:12
plays, Past Doughboys Guest Armin. Our buddy Armin plays
42:15
Lorne Michaels in that one. Oh, right. You can
42:17
go with Michael's. He'll be on. He's
42:19
a little getting Lorne. You think we're
42:21
going to get Lorne? I'd love to get
42:24
Lorne in here. Talk Buka DiBepo. It
42:26
is. Who he talks about? SNL
42:28
has its 50 year anniversary come up, and Lorne probably
42:30
will have to promote it. He'll
42:33
probably have to come on the Doughboys to get
42:35
the lead out of SNL's 50th anniversary. I
42:39
give this one four forks. All
42:42
right, Lorne. I've never heard of
42:44
Lorne Michaels impression that kid before. You're here.
42:51
How was so... How was... I
42:53
feel like this is an annoying question. But
42:57
when you were at the Lampoon, a lot of
42:59
times often people would stay there overnight and sleep
43:01
over there and stuff like that and work
43:03
there. I know that there's no bedrooms or
43:05
anything there, right? I can't say.
43:07
Oh, yeah, it's inside. Oh, it's secret stuff. But
43:12
did you have a lot of... When you
43:14
were around Harvard, would you grab
43:16
food and bring it to the Lampoon, or
43:18
was there a spread there? Oh, right. Can
43:21
you say that? I don't know. I mean,
43:23
yeah, you could... I guess, I don't know what I can
43:25
or... I don't know. I feel like I'm making it up
43:27
as I go along. But I think, yeah, you
43:29
could bring food in. You could go to the dining
43:31
hall, get a little glass of milk
43:33
or... I
43:35
feel like I stumbled on to... I shouldn't have said
43:38
this. There's Lampooners who watch this, I'm afraid now. Oh,
43:40
no. I mean, I don't know what I... I
43:42
just don't want to ruin it for the children. I'm
43:44
pivoting. I'm going to say this. What were some
43:46
of your local Boston... Don't get Sierra eyes really
43:48
shut up. I know. I don't
43:50
want to do it. Maybe some Fidaleo
43:52
Mask guy chasing around. Just keep a little mystery.
43:54
Keep a little mystery. Yeah, sometimes there's food. BJ
44:00
Novak comes with a big Hawk mask.
44:05
Oh, God. I don't know about that.
44:07
And we're like, oh, my God. He's like, he's
44:10
just wearing that coincidentally. We
44:14
should have a Doughboy's Omerta. There should
44:16
be some secrets that only we know. Everybody
44:20
can do it. Let's do it. Let's
44:22
start. I think bring back secret society stuff.
44:26
Conspiracy theorists love it. Yeah. I
44:29
feel like a Doughboy's Omerta Google Doc. You know, we
44:31
can always be shared on it. Maybe an Apple note
44:33
would be better in the iOS app. I feel like
44:35
it's not very secretive if it's on a hackable server.
44:37
I feel like we need our own. We're not going
44:40
to buy it. But we won't share it and we won't get
44:42
hacked. Okay. Yeah, sure. All right,
44:44
fine. Sure.
44:46
All right, great. All right, we'll put our
44:48
secrets in there and then no one will
44:50
know them except for us. I'm really just
44:52
walking around with a backpack with a fucking
44:54
granite piece in the bag. What
44:58
were your go to spots? You got Anna's
45:01
Taqueria. Oh, yeah. I
45:03
mean, and I was just finding everything changes, you know what I
45:05
mean? Sure, yeah. So I think some
45:07
of the good ones, but you know what's good out there? Cilantro. There's
45:10
this Chinese place that opened up kind of towards the end
45:12
of when I was living out there and it's in, you
45:14
know, it's kind of like on
45:17
the way to like,
45:19
it's still in Harvard Square,
45:21
but it's maybe near central, sorry, central square
45:24
a little bit. Cilantro. It's
45:26
called cilantro. But it's a Chinese restaurant. There's
45:29
also, I mean... That's
45:32
a bold stroke because a lot of people
45:34
have an aversion to cilantro. So making that
45:36
like the name of your restaurant is like
45:38
pretty... Yeah, it's a little strange. You
45:42
know, a lot of cuisines, yeah, claim cilantro
45:44
as their own. So I don't know if
45:46
Chinese cuisine really is known for
45:48
cilantro that much, but yeah, it
45:50
works once you know you're in. I gotta try
45:53
it. I've never had cilantro. I must
45:55
try it. I think, yeah, I think it might just be the one. I'm
45:57
not sure if there's more. I mean, and then... the
48:00
whole thing it was insane wow this
48:04
guy they made a little albacino I shouldn't
48:09
have done that I mean
48:11
what about what about like a flavored
48:13
water you know yes doing like a
48:15
little spritz a little yeah some of
48:17
that stuff is is fun we the
48:19
lemon oh yeah yeah what would be
48:21
a seed she a seed that's fun
48:23
I do think chia seeds
48:25
I was trying to do chia seeds to get me
48:28
to drink more water as well but then my
48:30
dad was kind of like cuz I cuz I
48:32
feel like also talk a lot of
48:34
health stuff with my dad and he's onto some strange
48:36
health stuff sometimes by told him I was
48:38
doing chia seeds you know and he was like those are
48:41
gonna actually suck the water out of you oh
48:43
man so I mean he's a little he
48:46
has some eccentric ideas so maybe he's wrong I feel
48:48
like if you're if it's already soaking the water out
48:50
of the water right yeah ideally then you get that
48:52
water but then he was like what if the
48:54
seeds are actually the bad guy here that's
48:58
I would like to do something like that I have a
49:00
couple chia pets in my also Kermit and a Yoda you
49:02
know this one so you're like why would I eat my
49:04
own pets so why am I gonna eat that why I'm
49:06
not gonna eat my own plants and my pets definitely
49:10
not my pets no but I but I am
49:12
trying to drink more water that's like the plan
49:14
from doing it I did have what were they
49:17
called zimos or whatever what were the what was
49:19
the flavored stuff that you put in water I
49:21
know what you mean I don't know the name
49:23
of it oh oh what is it called neo-meo
49:25
oh me oh yeah yeah yeah but
49:29
I feel like that's is that cheating I can't
49:31
tell I mean I think we use this
49:33
those for my brother a lot because he also refuses
49:35
to drink water and so I think
49:37
in my head if you're still drinking
49:39
the water you're still getting water
49:42
yeah right right the mio is not
49:44
great for you you still got more water than
49:46
you would have if you didn't sure yeah it's
49:48
true yeah I'm trying to drink straight up water and
49:50
then this I feel think the spindrifts are fine yeah
49:53
but hey but it but I understand what you say
49:55
you get parched you're naturally dehydrated you want something with
49:57
a little bit of flavor over just like a flat
49:59
wash That's

59:23
We'll be watching. I also got
59:26
to give, look, I walked, there's a couple things. I
59:28
walked to the studio today. I said I was going to bike, and
59:31
I got my bike fixed. I was very excited to bike. I think I'm
59:33
going to walk. You got a good walk in. I got a good walk
59:35
in. It is more of an exercise,
59:37
I think, walking. I'm going to walk home. Walked with
59:39
Sus. I just want to give him credit because Sus
59:41
walked to the studio, and he did
59:43
not eat lunch today. He
59:45
opted out of lunch today. He opted out of
59:48
lunch today. Unprecedented. Unprecedented. Honestly, I offered him stuff
59:50
to eat, and he didn't
59:52
eat anything. Unprecedented. Honestly, I offered him stuff,
59:54
and he didn't even take it. He
59:58
didn't partake in anything. I do this. I
1:00:00
think that he got a few, like a whiffs in,
1:00:02
like a few sniffs. Yeah. So
1:00:04
I think that it was still worth it for him for
1:00:06
the sniffs. No. He was like, do
1:00:09
you know that one? He was definitely whiffing. Yeah, he was
1:00:11
whiffing. He walked in some sniffs. Yeah. You
1:00:13
know my theory? What was that? He left head
1:00:15
gum straight to silver like ramen. Ha ha ha ha. With
1:00:18
the Doughboy's credit card. Yeah. All right, all right, all
1:00:20
right, that's good. No, good for sus. Good for him.
1:00:23
Because this is a heavy meal, and this is the big
1:00:25
thing. Like I do really like ramen, I do really like
1:00:27
pho. I
1:00:29
do really like a soup as a
1:00:31
meal, but it is a, that
1:00:36
can be a day-runner for me. That
1:00:38
can be just such a heavy thing
1:00:41
where I'm ingesting so much salt
1:00:43
and starch that
1:00:45
I just feel really weighed down. So
1:00:48
I have to pick my spots when I do
1:00:50
it, even though I live within walking distance from
1:00:52
a really nice, from a really good local ramen
1:00:54
shop. But this has to be like
1:00:56
a once every two weeks, once a month indulgence
1:00:58
as opposed to a regular meal. No,
1:01:00
of course. And I will say, so I
1:01:02
did get the curry. I tried the curry.
1:01:04
Oh wow. the
1:01:07
full dipping ramen and I've tasted that and I love that,
1:01:09
so I'm gonna try something new here. I didn't realize they
1:01:11
had such an extensive menu. And
1:01:13
so yeah, I got the karaage with the
1:01:15
curry, Japanese
1:01:18
curry, which I really like. And I, you know,
1:01:20
I'm always stocked with some curry blocks for, you
1:01:22
know, in the pantry, and that's a good go-to
1:01:24
for me. And I thought they did a good job
1:01:26
with that. So yeah. Is that the curry blocks
1:01:28
you got? Is this specifically a Japanese curry? It
1:01:30
is specifically Japanese curry. So yeah,
1:01:33
there's like, you know, Vermont or
1:01:35
something. That's like one of the
1:01:37
brands. I don't know what
1:01:39
you call it that, but it is Japanese curry. And
1:01:41
then you, you know, you like chip off the little
1:01:43
blocks and then you melt them in
1:01:45
the pot with all your onions and all everything
1:01:47
you need to make a good little curry sauce.
1:01:50
It's like a smaller scale version of Panera's
1:01:52
operations. You bet, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like
1:01:54
personal little blocks. They got to slice
1:01:56
up the cheese and broccoli and get me some of that.
1:01:59
I've had Japanese. I had it
1:02:01
a number of times, but what got me into it, where I
1:02:03
was really fixing it a while, was
1:02:05
the video game Persona 5 Royal, where
1:02:07
you have a coffee and curry shop that you work at.
1:02:10
And there's so much coffee and curry in this, I
1:02:12
got to be having curry. So I was eating curry all
1:02:14
the time. I was playing that game. Oh, you were? Sounds
1:02:16
like a good combo. I don't know if it was just
1:02:19
you or Jess eating it in the game. No, I'd go
1:02:21
to like, Curry Curry of Tokyo or whatever. I'd go to
1:02:23
some curry place, and it's so great. It's
1:02:25
such a great dish. And especially, you get
1:02:27
the fried little cutlet, and then you
1:02:29
have the dipping sauce, so you get both the texture
1:02:32
and the sauce. It's delightful. Yeah,
1:02:34
I am. When Silver Lake Ramen first opened, I
1:02:36
believe I went with Bobby Lee for the first time I ever went there. Wow.
1:02:39
Wait, did we do it? No, we didn't do it. We absolutely did
1:02:41
not cover it on the podcast. This is the first time. I went
1:02:43
with Bobby Lee. So like, Ramen was founded in 2012 on Sunset Boulevard,
1:02:46
not far from Headgum. It's actually the original
1:02:49
location is a stone's throw from
1:02:51
where we record every Doughboys episode. And this is the other
1:02:53
thing. Contra its name, Silver Lake
1:02:55
the neighborhood in Los Angeles, this is now
1:02:57
a national chain. There are restaurants
1:03:00
in California, Nevada, Washington, Arizona, Texas,
1:03:02
Georgia, and North Carolina. Did
1:03:04
you have any sense that Silver Lake Ramen
1:03:06
blanketed the country? Because I had no idea.
1:03:08
Isn't that wild? No. And also,
1:03:10
I didn't like it the first time I had it. And I
1:03:12
haven't eaten, like you said, I
1:03:15
don't eat a ton of ramen just because it
1:03:17
is such a heavy meal. But
1:03:20
I do like, when it comes to the
1:03:22
tastiness level, I am like, this is maybe
1:03:24
the best. You know what I mean? Like, it is
1:03:26
so great. Yeah. But
1:03:30
I had Silver Lake Ramen in that location
1:03:32
with Bobby. And I was like, so, so
1:03:34
on it. And I loved Daikakuya,
1:03:36
which we talked about, which I didn't realize was a pretty big thing. Yeah,
1:03:40
I think it's an international chain. But
1:03:44
there's one in Little Tokyo and downtown LA.
1:03:47
And I love that place. And I still think we should
1:03:49
review it at some point. I
1:03:51
think that that place is the best. And this felt like,
1:03:53
I was like, this doesn't feel
1:03:55
as authentic or whatever to me. This feels like a
1:03:57
hip. So.
1:04:00
Silver Lake spot. And then today,
1:04:04
eating it today, I was like, this is
1:04:06
damn good. I mean, it's really good. It's
1:04:08
also right near that original location, right near
1:04:11
my favorite FA spots. FA Cafe.
1:04:13
I don't know if you've ever had FA Cafe. It's great.
1:04:15
I have not. The thing
1:04:17
about Silver Lake Ram, and yes, Mitch, I also
1:04:19
initially approached this when I first heard
1:04:21
about it with skepticism, because it's named after a
1:04:24
gentrifying neighborhood in LA, or fully gentrified now, neighborhood
1:04:26
in LA. You think it's going to be like,
1:04:28
oh, this will be like the gentrified ramen. But
1:04:31
the founders are like ramen enthusiasts,
1:04:34
Chef Jitek, who was an LA restaurant veteran,
1:04:36
and then Chef Thomas Aono, who grew up
1:04:38
in Japan. And he
1:04:40
studied under a ramen master in
1:04:43
Japan. So there are some real
1:04:45
bona fides culinarily for their product,
1:04:47
which I was surprised to learn.
1:04:50
And yeah, there are about 30 locations there, four more,
1:04:52
in the works. So here's the
1:04:54
thing I will say about ramen for
1:04:56
me. Since I haven't been eating pork,
1:04:59
this is one dish where it's a big hindrance,
1:05:01
because a lot of the ramen bases are pork.
1:05:05
And so it's just hard to find even a broth
1:05:07
that you can have, even if you're not having pork
1:05:09
and protein. There
1:05:11
was a time when I was giving myself a
1:05:13
little bit more leeway with pork bright byproducts and
1:05:15
stuff, but I'd be gotten a little bit more
1:05:17
strict about that. So this place does have a
1:05:19
Chicken Show You broth, which I've gotten before, and
1:05:21
which is good, which I like. But for today,
1:05:23
I tried their veggie broth, which I've
1:05:26
had some veggie ramens that were pretty flavorless.
1:05:29
This one, which has a miso base, not
1:05:32
bad, actually. Honestly, pretty savory,
1:05:34
pretty flavorful. And it
1:05:36
had just a whole fucking garden
1:05:38
in here, bean sprouts, corn, mushroom,
1:05:40
tofu, broccolini, baby greens, kale, red
1:05:42
cabbage, and avocado. We got
1:05:44
everything to go, so it came with the broth
1:05:46
package separately. So I'm looking at all these fresh
1:05:48
vegetables sitting in my dry bowl with the noodles,
1:05:50
and I'm worried about what's going to happen when
1:05:53
I just pour this broth over it. It held
1:05:55
up all pretty well. It was the vegetables they
1:05:57
picked, particularly the broccolini really, really well. worked and
1:05:59
held up the texture. What did you spill, though?
1:06:02
I was just trying to eat it, and they just splashed over myself.
1:06:04
Oh, that's what happened. I spilled
1:06:06
when I was trying to sip from the bowl, and
1:06:08
then my bowl fell over it, but it fell into
1:06:10
another container, like we said. Yes. And
1:06:12
then there was ginger in there, and it tasted pretty good. Yeah.
1:06:15
I got the, what was the one I got? Spicy? Should
1:06:17
we talk, we should talk about this, right? Yeah, we're getting
1:06:19
into it. I had the
1:06:21
spicy. It's the Blaze Ramen, right? That's what
1:06:23
it's called. The Blaze Ramen. Which
1:06:26
has like a good bit of spiciness in it, but really
1:06:29
nice broth. Yes. The broth
1:06:31
was like creamy, but
1:06:33
also spicy, and it was
1:06:35
a nice pork broth. I
1:06:37
thought it was almost eggy tasting, which I liked. Yeah.
1:06:40
There is that egg in there, and I think a lot of the
1:06:42
yolk did fall out into it when I
1:06:44
poured the broth on there. But damn
1:06:47
good, Wags. It was a really good ramen. It
1:06:49
was a great outing for this place. Yeah, I've
1:06:52
had the Blaze Ramen before, and then there's also
1:06:54
a spicy shoyu they do, that they've had. Yeah,
1:06:56
I'm a bit of a heat seeker, and
1:06:59
you can jack that heat intensity up pretty high there.
1:07:01
Which I do like. This is
1:07:03
a Sierra question for you, because I really
1:07:05
do like spicy, but I feel like if
1:07:07
I go to the hottest level of ramen
1:07:09
or something like that, it's usually like, I'm
1:07:11
just getting spiced with every bit of
1:07:14
broth, and I'm just crying and dripping,
1:07:16
my nose is dripping, and I'm just not
1:07:18
enjoying my meal anymore. So I just feel like I go
1:07:20
one notch below. There's a crying music? I
1:07:22
think that's good. Yeah, you gotta, because you
1:07:24
gotta excrete everything. So you can
1:07:26
get rid of the spice. Yeah, I mean, I'd
1:07:28
never go too crazy with the spice. I think ramen doesn't
1:07:30
go as high as some other
1:07:33
cuisines, but there is this
1:07:35
place in Little Tokyo called Orotron
1:07:37
Ramen, which has a spice challenge.
1:07:40
And I'm not
1:07:42
much of the spicy type, but my fiance
1:07:44
is, so he has tried to do it
1:07:46
and couldn't do it. It was like, because
1:07:48
it also comes out piping hot temperature-wise. And
1:07:50
I think there's just something with that combo,
1:07:53
it really synergizes into intense
1:07:55
heat. So
1:07:57
I think, yeah, ramen can get pretty intense.
1:08:00
you go to a certain level of both hot
1:08:02
and spicy. Blaze was pretty, it
1:08:05
was a medium heat, and it was
1:08:09
pretty spicy, not like crazy, but it was
1:08:11
pretty spicy. Speaking of spice, we
1:08:13
should mention you're wearing a Sriracha t-shirt. Oh yeah,
1:08:15
yeah, thank you. That's cool as hell. For spotting.
1:08:17
Yeah, yeah. My parents went and
1:08:20
did a tour of the little
1:08:22
plant in Erwindale back in the day
1:08:24
when they were doing it. I
1:08:26
don't know if they're still doing open tours
1:08:28
or whatever, but yeah, they got some merch,
1:08:31
so this is one of the things, the
1:08:33
nice shirt, and I do rep the Huy
1:08:35
Fong Foods specific rooster sauce. Wow. But
1:08:38
open to all. Open to all. Yeah.
1:08:41
Right. That's my favorite one. Yeah.
1:08:44
I mean, it's the most recognizable. I
1:08:46
do like the chili garlic sauce. Yeah, yeah.
1:08:48
It's like the Coca Cola of Sriracha.
1:08:51
It's red and white. Right.
1:08:53
Yeah, they do that. I
1:08:56
was Sriracha one time for Halloween, so it's also a
1:08:58
good use of this. You were Sriracha for Halloween. Yeah,
1:09:01
you just get one of these, and you get a
1:09:03
green beanie, and it's pretty simple. That's right. It's
1:09:05
good costume. Yeah, it's a go-to, very comfortable.
1:09:07
Also, for a while, they don't have Sriracha.
1:09:11
The word patented, so there's a lot of
1:09:13
Sriracha sauces out there. Yes, yeah. Right?
1:09:17
Yeah, but then you just- Baby for me. I
1:09:19
was a baby quite a few years in a row. Oh, yeah, yeah.
1:09:21
People were like, nice Halloween costume. I was like, it's Halloween? Just
1:09:24
came out on a bonnet and a diaper. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:09:26
Do you ever do a Halloween costume? I've
1:09:29
never done a Halloween costume. You ever done a food-based ... I
1:09:31
actually did do a food-based
1:09:33
Halloween costume in middle school. I
1:09:36
probably said this on the podcast. Yes. Where
1:09:38
I was a serial killer. Oh, yeah, you have told that.
1:09:40
You have said that, yeah. I had the little boxes. Oh,
1:09:42
knives too? Then
1:09:45
there were plastic knives or forks, I think, in
1:09:47
each one, and then there was blood coming
1:09:49
out of them. My mom was a teacher, she was smart.
1:09:51
Yeah, let's get- But it was like the small boxes. Yeah,
1:09:55
I know what you mean. Oh, good. So I was a
1:09:57
serial killer. No, I have not
1:09:59
done a- a costume as a- Pretty fucking
1:10:01
cool. Yeah, it's cool. The girls, the
1:10:04
ladies went nuts on it. Yeah,
1:10:06
I mean, I like it. I'm a serial
1:10:08
killer. And like eating cereal out of my
1:10:10
fucking shirt. Pretty cool. Everyone
1:10:12
wants a thinker for a Halloween costume. It takes a
1:10:15
second for you to put it together. I
1:10:17
have not done a Halloween costume. I've never done it as an
1:10:19
adult. The thinker. Oh yeah, that'd be a fun one.
1:10:21
It'd be a good one. You get to show your hog. So
1:10:25
you like paint yourself white and just have your hog out there?
1:10:27
Yeah, I think you got it. Right,
1:10:29
yeah. So
1:10:32
I've never done a Halloween costume as an
1:10:34
adult. It's actually like, it's an adult. It's
1:10:37
actually like, it's interesting to have witnessed it turn
1:10:39
into an adult holiday because it used to be
1:10:41
a kids thing, you know? But I
1:10:43
was a, but I just like, I don't fucking go
1:10:45
out. What am I going to do? I mean, what
1:10:47
am I, dress up and go out someplace? I felt
1:10:49
the same. It was only a couple of years into
1:10:51
college where I was like, oh, people are doing this.
1:10:53
Oops, I got to like, I should do this. I
1:10:55
actually do remember one. Me and my buddy Brandon Wurtz,
1:10:57
who listens to the podcast, what's up Brandon? We
1:11:00
went to a college party and we
1:11:02
were pirate mummies. So that
1:11:05
is one one that I did. What
1:11:07
was, what did that entail? Toilet
1:11:09
paper and then aluminum foil swords. Nice.
1:11:12
We might have had a little eye patches too. Okay,
1:11:14
that's what I was wondering. Poor Brandon, you're in there
1:11:16
with a fucking glass of milk at the party. Oh
1:11:19
yeah, the milk man. Then
1:11:22
they see the serial killer and they're like, oh. I'm sure
1:11:25
he's also like, friends. How close
1:11:27
were you? Were you close? No,
1:11:29
I know, I know, but I'm saying. Yeah, we're good friends, very good friends. Wait,
1:11:32
he doesn't work in video games, right? No. What
1:11:34
does he do? I don't want to need
1:11:37
to dox him. Docks him, dox him. Where does
1:11:39
he live? Where the fuck does he
1:11:41
live? Don't worry about it. We
1:11:43
should know. But yeah, he came to, you've met him. He's
1:11:46
coming to double shows. I remember meeting him.
1:11:48
I was shocked that you had someone come to a
1:11:50
show at all. Me too, Mitch. Now
1:11:52
he doesn't want to come. I don't blame
1:11:54
her at all. I don't blame her either. I
1:11:57
had the... Don't bother,
1:11:59
Mitch. She's busy. She's busy. She's
1:12:02
tired. She's busy. She's busy.
1:12:04
I had the Blaze ramen with pork. Yeah. And
1:12:07
I had, I got a spicy chicken bun. Fun.
1:12:10
And I got the grilled gyoza. Which
1:12:13
is, oftentimes I feel
1:12:15
like they're, it's just pan fried gyoza. It's funny they call it
1:12:17
grilled here, but I think it's just to make sure that you
1:12:19
get the right one. Cause they had the
1:12:21
deep fried gyoza. We were talking about this beforehand. When
1:12:25
it was, you know, steamed
1:12:27
dumplings, pan fried, or
1:12:29
all fried. Where do you stand? Uh,
1:12:32
Amelia coined this and I will
1:12:34
be with her. I think I am team steam. Team
1:12:37
steam. Well choice, well choice. Team steam
1:12:40
is an Emma your team steam as
1:12:42
well. Yes. I like
1:12:45
the pan fried. I like one seared side of
1:12:47
the texture. I'm on that. I think you put
1:12:49
it perfectly. Best of both worlds. You get, yeah,
1:12:51
you get a little bit of the crunch, but also the
1:12:53
soft of the steam. I understand like
1:12:55
if you go full crunch, you know, full deep
1:12:58
fried, it gets a little
1:13:00
too much maybe. Too much. Yeah.
1:13:02
It was like actually getting fried or deep
1:13:04
fried or whatever. That's the, that
1:13:07
happened yesterday. Our downstairs neighbor,
1:13:10
like with the buildings been having some plumbing
1:13:12
problems. Her sink was clogged, her
1:13:14
kitchen sink was clogged. She
1:13:17
does not speak any English. And
1:13:20
so we, Natalie and I helped her
1:13:22
like with Google translate. She
1:13:24
speaks Mandarin, tried to like get through and
1:13:26
talk to a plumber and we got a
1:13:28
plumber there. Got everything resolved to
1:13:30
say thank you. You know how there's
1:13:33
like a neighbor like hitting the ceiling with a broom because
1:13:35
they're too loud. She's like hitting the ceiling
1:13:37
of the broom because she was like, it's quiet up there. What
1:13:40
the fuck's going on? Yeah, they died. What
1:13:42
happened? But
1:13:45
anyway, so she, as thank you, as a
1:13:48
thank you last night, she brought us dumplings
1:13:50
and they were pan fried. And they were
1:13:52
like, like, like, they were like fresh made,
1:13:54
like homemade dumplings. They were delicious. The chicken
1:13:57
and shrimp, they're so good. Awesome, go down
1:13:59
there. That
1:16:00
was the big gateway. This felt
1:16:02
like, did you call
1:16:04
it Sprouts? Yeah, and look,
1:16:06
I like a Sprouts grocery store sushi, but it felt
1:16:09
like kind of that tear. I'm not even saying that
1:16:11
as a negative. I'm just saying it's like, there's so
1:16:13
many great sushi restaurants you can go to here. I
1:16:15
thought it was like the most non-sushi sushi I've ever
1:16:17
eaten. It tasted like I was eating almost nothing. Right.
1:16:22
It wasn't bad tasting, but
1:16:24
it was the worst
1:16:26
thing I had probably. I thought that
1:16:28
the spicy tuna on the rice cake
1:16:30
was good. I actually thought
1:16:32
that, and I thought like the buns, I think
1:16:34
like the spicy chicken in the bun was
1:16:37
actually kind of works more at the restaurant. And
1:16:40
I think that, is it karagi? Yeah,
1:16:42
I mean, I heard it karagi. I don't know
1:16:45
the actual pronunciation. I
1:16:47
think that kind of works there too, and it's in a
1:16:49
lot of different dishes, and I think it tastes good. The
1:16:51
sushi just feels like kind of the odd man out to
1:16:53
me, and I don't, I don't, I mean, hey, if it
1:16:55
works and it's selling for them, then it works, but to
1:16:57
me it was the worst thing that we had today. I
1:17:01
thought that those, I thought those grilled,
1:17:03
quote unquote, dumplings were great. Yes. Do
1:17:06
you like them, Emma, right? Yeah, they're pretty good. Yeah, they
1:17:08
were good. Yeah, yeah, maybe not great, but good.
1:17:11
I think when something like that travels, you
1:17:13
lose the crunch you get if you had
1:17:15
it. Like the point of pan frying it
1:17:17
is like little crispy side. It is not
1:17:19
as crispy when it's traveled, but not bad.
1:17:22
Emma, you were saying this place is a regular
1:17:24
haunt for you. It is. Mike and I will
1:17:26
get this for dinner, probably once or twice
1:17:28
a month. Wow. Partially, like the bowl
1:17:30
I got today, partially because it feels ramen
1:17:32
not so light. The bowl I got today is just
1:17:35
like a ground ginger chicken with like pickled
1:17:37
ginger and scallions and scrambled egg and some rice.
1:17:39
It's like super simple. So like, if I don't
1:17:41
feel like cooking, it feels like a takeout of
1:17:43
me I can get, but I don't feel as
1:17:46
guilty about it. It's not like as heavy as
1:17:48
like a ramen could be. So
1:17:50
I love it. Yeah. I
1:17:53
think that you're right that some of that, but I
1:17:56
think some of the stuff works a little bit on
1:17:58
the menu. I like that there's options to get some
1:18:00
other stuff. No, I agree. I do think, I do
1:18:02
agree with you, the crispy rice with the spicy tuna
1:18:04
did have a nice texture to it.
1:18:06
And the gyoza, I mean, I think with
1:18:08
those two as apps, you'd be good to
1:18:10
go. You know, like, if you need the
1:18:12
buns or whatever, but
1:18:16
I don't know. Those are another
1:18:18
thing that I don't like those traps. Like, I like
1:18:20
those better at a restaurant. I don't like those as
1:18:22
takeout. I don't think they do as good. Yeah, no,
1:18:24
I know what you're saying. But the food was pretty
1:18:27
hot. It's right down the street, and we got it,
1:18:31
but I just shot a bubble out and it floated away. I
1:18:33
thought it was a fly. But
1:18:35
I saw it, but I thought it was a fly. You
1:18:37
could have said that. No, it was a bubble. Yeah, it
1:18:40
was a bubble. A bubble just floated out of my mouth.
1:18:42
Did you eat soap for breakfast? Did I
1:18:44
have any soap today? I think I did. Somebody
1:18:46
washed your mouth out after you first. My mom used
1:18:49
to do that. Did you get soap ever? I got
1:18:51
it from my grandma, yeah. From your grandma? Damn, grandma's
1:18:53
supposed to be nice. Then
1:18:55
you bought her car out from under her. I
1:18:58
love that. Is that what happened? Yeah, took
1:19:00
her for a ride. No,
1:19:04
I remember, yeah, that was the one
1:19:06
time I did it. I can't remember what curse word
1:19:08
I said, but
1:19:10
my grandma was babysitting me and washed my mouth out with
1:19:12
soap. Or maybe I think just rinse out my mouth with
1:19:14
soap. I think I had to do it myself. It's probably
1:19:17
radical you coming home from college not with milk. My
1:19:21
mom would do ivory soap sometimes. Oh, sure.
1:19:23
And that would get you. Or they'd
1:19:26
scrape it on your teeth. Oh, and
1:19:28
you get the wax on the underside. I never
1:19:30
get that. That can't be good for you. For
1:19:32
all listeners, parents used to beat their kids. That's
1:19:35
what used to happen. It was fine, it was normal. It was normal.
1:19:37
At least they do. I
1:19:39
do think that one time my mom or dad did
1:19:42
that and I was like, oh, this sucks. And they
1:19:44
were like, hmm. I think they scared them into never
1:19:46
doing that again. But
1:19:48
anyways, I did not eat soap today. Okay. It
1:19:51
was just a cool bubble. You missed it. Everything
1:19:54
here today was impressive. I
1:19:56
thought all the food was good. There
1:19:58
wasn't really... The sushi was the worst, but
1:20:01
it didn't taste bad to me. Yeah. I
1:20:03
don't think I've ever been to another one is the
1:20:05
thing. Because for a chain, so we're talking about the
1:20:07
original location here. Again, it has about 30 of them.
1:20:10
I don't know if I've ever been to one of the other ones in LA. And
1:20:13
so I don't know if they, but I assume
1:20:15
they've kept the quality level well if they've been
1:20:17
able to scale up and stay profitable.
1:20:20
I don't know. Right. I
1:20:22
mean, I wonder like, is this full menu available
1:20:24
at others? Because I honestly never had a lot
1:20:26
of the, I didn't know they had the curry
1:20:28
until today. So I wonder if
1:20:30
when they open, do they do a
1:20:33
soft or just the goods, the ramen
1:20:35
and the sukamen and everything. And then
1:20:37
if it does well, they're like, hey, we'll throw in the sprouts roll.
1:20:40
Yeah. I mean, that's the other
1:20:42
thing with the original location. Sometimes it has a much larger
1:20:44
menu than the other one. So I don't know. Yeah.
1:20:47
Because it is just packed all the time. So I wonder if they
1:20:49
just felt like, oh, maybe to take the weight off of these big
1:20:51
pots of ramen, we should add some stuff. That
1:20:54
is an issue for me is that it's packed. And
1:20:56
also the location is just kind of hard to get
1:20:58
to. Right. The only parking lot.
1:21:00
You can't park yourself. Oh, yeah. And
1:21:02
there's not a lot of seating. It's not
1:21:05
a big spot. Yeah. By the
1:21:07
way, I just want to tell you that
1:21:09
Jemmy readjusted herself and she's resting her head
1:21:11
on my arm. It's really cute. So sweet.
1:21:13
Yeah. And so I am just
1:21:15
like very nervously don't want to disrupt this. Yeah.
1:21:17
I think I am stuck like this forever. But
1:21:19
you know what? By the end of the episode,
1:21:22
give yourself a stranger. With
1:21:26
Jemmy's paws, Nick, that's disgusting. Oh,
1:21:29
my goodness. I
1:21:34
mean, your arm would be numb. Oh, my.
1:21:36
Yeah. Oh, boy. No,
1:21:41
you cannot jerk yourself off
1:21:43
with my dog. I would
1:21:45
never. Nick is out of his
1:21:47
mind. I didn't say that. Doggy
1:21:52
stranger. No, thank you. I
1:21:54
say no. Stranger danger, John Ryan.
1:22:00
A doggy stranger? So you're making
1:22:02
your dogs arm to paw-num? To
1:22:06
confuse them? Sitting in Wally and Irma's paws. Yeah.
1:22:09
A baby stranger. Look,
1:22:14
none of that's going to happen. I think we should get
1:22:16
to our final thoughts on Silver Lake ramen. So Sierra- There's
1:22:19
no animal. There's no- we don't
1:22:21
do any animal stuff, Nick and I,
1:22:23
okay? We eat an animal. We're
1:22:26
not going to fuck an animal. No, I
1:22:28
really draw the line. We kill them and
1:22:30
eat its flesh, but I'm not going to
1:22:32
engage in carnival relations with them. That's too
1:22:34
far. But then when you think about it,
1:22:36
is that what's worse? What's worse,
1:22:38
honestly? So then when you
1:22:40
think about that- When you think about it- Eating them is
1:22:42
definitely the good one there. Okay.
1:22:45
If I was a bull, I'd rather be
1:22:47
sucked off by a guy than be slaughtered
1:22:49
for my meat. I agree with why. I
1:22:51
mean, honestly- I guess so. Well, we say that
1:22:53
now. When faced
1:22:56
with the circumstances, who knows? A
1:22:59
bull sees me approaching. Take me to the
1:23:01
slaughterhouse. I'm
1:23:06
not going to suck off a bull. You're
1:23:08
not going to? No, I'm not going to do that. I'm
1:23:11
not going to do it. Ever?
1:23:14
I probably won't do it. I
1:23:17
mean, Mitch, you sucked off a pony, right?
1:23:19
That is true. And it's not true
1:23:21
that you sucked off a pony. That is true. You
1:23:23
told that story. That's a story that you made up.
1:23:26
I lied to you about a pony. Sierra doesn't know
1:23:28
the backstory here. I
1:23:30
joked that I sucked off a pony. It was a joke, yeah.
1:23:32
It was- he didn't actually do it. Okay, you ate the pony,
1:23:34
I thought. Yeah,
1:23:37
we ate the pony. It was fine. It was normal. Sierra,
1:23:48
we'll each go around. We'll give a closing argument,
1:23:50
if you will, on Silver Lake Ramen, and then
1:23:52
end that by giving it a score from zero
1:23:54
to five forks. You are our guest, seated to
1:23:56
my right. Your thoughts on Silver Lake Ramen, your fork score
1:23:58
for Silver Lake Ramen. from zero to five. Amazing.
1:24:02
Okay. So big fan of
1:24:04
Silver Lake Ramen. I've sung
1:24:07
the praises of their Sukemen, which I've had in the past. I
1:24:09
think what I'm liking about it is they have... Well,
1:24:11
now I learn some good cred in the
1:24:14
founding chefs and I think they bring...
1:24:17
I think they are bringing Ramen
1:24:19
to the great Genshenja Friday neighborhood
1:24:21
of Silver Lake and beyond. Right.
1:24:24
You know, I think they were such
1:24:26
a crucial delivery
1:24:29
service during the tough
1:24:31
times, getting a little nice Ramen comfort
1:24:34
food at night during the pandemic was
1:24:36
really nice. And then, you know, today
1:24:38
I tried the curry. It wasn't like
1:24:40
my favorite curry, but again, it's not
1:24:42
their specialty. And I think it's cool
1:24:44
that they're expanding out. But anyway, this
1:24:47
is all to say, I think I'll
1:24:49
go with Four Forks. Four Forks. It's
1:24:51
a fave of mine for sure. Very good
1:24:53
score. All right, Suu-Man, what do
1:24:55
you think? I get to see
1:24:57
how this place does as they go towards
1:24:59
that larger scale and they're franchising this
1:25:05
place and going across the country. I
1:25:07
would love to try North Carolina, for instance, see how
1:25:09
it is. I mean, I don't want to go to
1:25:11
North Carolina, but I'm saying, you know, I would like
1:25:14
to try
1:25:16
a chain version of Silver Lake Ramen. It's
1:25:18
entirely... They're in Atlanta. It's totally plausible that
1:25:20
you'd end up working in Atlanta again and
1:25:22
then you'd have a little taste of home
1:25:24
there. Tomorrow War II, maybe we'll see what
1:25:26
happens. Again, I told you, Two
1:25:29
More Awards, like right there. Tomorrow War.
1:25:31
Two War. Tomorrow Two War.
1:25:35
A really good, I
1:25:38
mean, it's a good ramen. I
1:25:40
enjoyed it quite a bit. I
1:25:43
couldn't tell where it... It's kind of a tricky
1:25:46
one to give a
1:25:49
fork rating to because I think
1:25:51
it is four forks or above. So
1:25:53
I'm going to say that. Yeah. I'm
1:25:56
going to say four forks. I'm going to go with the hand holding
1:25:58
club with our guest. I
1:26:01
think it's great, I would love to see how it
1:26:03
is more as a chain, which I don't really know.
1:26:05
I haven't eaten at this place as much. And
1:26:08
I think of it, like I love Daikakuya and I think
1:26:10
that is a better one. That to me is a five
1:26:12
forker. So, but Silver Lake, a
1:26:15
really strong outing for what it is. I think
1:26:17
that they did a really good job. So four
1:26:19
forks. Casey, you ever get a
1:26:21
Silver Lake ramen? Very
1:26:23
rarely. Yeah. I'm
1:26:25
a soup skeptic. You're a soup
1:26:27
skeptic. I'm not, if I'm eating
1:26:30
a meal, I don't want like
1:26:32
a water-based meal. Interesting.
1:26:36
I don't want to be filling my stomach up with liquid.
1:26:38
Yes, right. Smart. You
1:26:40
know, be eating more carbs or something.
1:26:42
Yeah. So it's like a pretty occasional
1:26:44
thing for you. Yeah, yeah. And this
1:26:46
is a frequent spot for you. I mean, where do
1:26:49
y'all end with fork scores? I would
1:26:51
give this probably like four forks. I think it's a
1:26:53
good spot. It's good. I mean, it's not, I've
1:26:55
only had the ramen a few times and it's not the best
1:26:57
ramen I've ever had, but it's good. So
1:26:59
like for a neighborhood spot, I also didn't know it
1:27:01
was a chain until you said it. We could do
1:27:03
it on the pod. I thought this was the only
1:27:05
one for the longest time. So it
1:27:07
floored me that it was such a big
1:27:09
chain. So for, I mean, for that it's
1:27:11
pretty good. Yeah. Yeah,
1:27:14
Casey, you got a fork score or you haven't had it frequently enough?
1:27:16
I haven't had it frequently enough, but
1:27:20
it is good and I think I would also go four.
1:27:23
Amelia also landed at four forks. She was at
1:27:25
3.75 and then talked herself. I
1:27:27
didn't persuade her at all. I was just like, like she was like 3.75.
1:27:30
She's like, eh, but I wasn't really craving it today. So
1:27:32
that probably affects things. I'll go right at four. So
1:27:35
I think four forks is kind
1:27:37
of like, it feels like four is the floor right
1:27:40
here, but here's the thing, I'm Mr.
1:27:42
Soup. This is kind of my thing, right? So
1:27:45
I'm the ultimate arbiter of whether the soup
1:27:47
is, fits the Golden Play Club
1:27:49
or not. Yeah. Like I'm kind of
1:27:51
the authority. Yeah, I guess now you're the authority, even
1:27:53
though you order salads when you offer your super salad.
1:27:56
And you went from denying being Mr. Soup
1:27:59
to owning it. I should stop. What was
1:28:01
the other thing? You're Mr. Soup and what
1:28:03
else? You suck off bulls? What is this?
1:28:06
What was that one? I don't know what it was. Yeah. Yeah,
1:28:08
which is also kind of Mr. Soup in a way. I
1:28:16
do think this place is good.
1:28:18
And I think that there is better ramen
1:28:21
in the city. But in
1:28:23
some of the cities that Silver Lake Ramen is,
1:28:25
there maybe isn't better ramen in the city. That's
1:28:28
part of an endorsement of the concept is like
1:28:30
it is. This is bringing to your point. This
1:28:32
is bringing ramen to the masses. I think this
1:28:34
is bringing this more awareness of
1:28:36
the Lake higher level and elevated version
1:28:38
of this dish to I think a
1:28:40
lot of people who maybe have
1:28:43
not encountered it. And it
1:28:45
feels very approachable for someone who's maybe a ramen noob.
1:28:47
And I think that's to its credit. And I think
1:28:49
the food quality is high. And I was really impressed
1:28:51
with their veggie ramen. So I
1:28:54
will say four is the floor.
1:28:56
This does belong in the Golden Plate Club. I
1:28:58
will be in the hand holding club with everybody
1:29:00
and say this is a five or a four
1:29:02
fork chain. And then that's
1:29:04
my assessment. I'm not going up to five, but I
1:29:07
think this absolutely deserves it. Well deserved. Yeah, it's a
1:29:09
good, I mean, this is the thing. It's good quality
1:29:11
food. How does this place accomplish what it is trying
1:29:13
to accomplish? Like the whole
1:29:15
thesis of this podcast is if you're
1:29:18
a ramen place, you should be trying to do
1:29:21
good ramen. And I think they are. And I
1:29:23
think that's the whole thing, right? It's like what
1:29:25
are they trying to do and how are they
1:29:27
succeeding at that level? And I think they absolutely
1:29:29
are here. This place does deserve a revisit in
1:29:32
a weird, like in a not flagship location. Yes.
1:29:35
I think it would be interesting to see
1:29:37
because maybe the floor is just the floor and
1:29:39
we go to the ceiling. Could
1:29:42
be. Maybe we go to, that's what I'm
1:29:44
saying. We might go to five. That's what
1:29:46
I'm saying. I'd be interested to see what
1:29:48
the El Paso, Texas Silver Lake Ramen is
1:29:50
also would just be very geographically odd to
1:29:52
see that. Yes. I don't want
1:29:54
to go to El Paso, Texas. No, I don't. But
1:29:56
I was going to say, here's the thing.
1:29:58
And I don't know if this. if anyone
1:30:01
else clocked this or anyone else thinks about this.
1:30:04
Silver Lake the neighborhood, two
1:30:06
words, capital S, capital L.
1:30:08
Silver Lake the ramen, one
1:30:11
word. Silver Lake, all one. I
1:30:14
honestly have changed my understanding of Silver
1:30:16
Lake the neighborhood because I just think
1:30:18
it's one word, yeah. Yeah. I've
1:30:21
definitely figured I've always written it as one word
1:30:23
and never realized it was two. It's two discrete
1:30:25
words, yeah. Fascinating. Can I tell you my thoughts?
1:30:27
Don't give a shit. That
1:30:30
was a review of Silver Lake ramen. Hey, it's time for
1:30:32
a segment. I just had
1:30:35
a thing I was going to say a long time
1:30:37
ago and it's not worth doing anymore. Okay, well we
1:30:39
can move on. So we've got a food related exam
1:30:42
and Mitch and Sierra must compete for
1:30:44
superiority. It's Slop Quiz Extreme Close-Up Edition.
1:30:47
These are compiled by Amelia. So Emma, are we
1:30:49
going to get these on the TV? Yeah, I'm going to please, I'm just
1:30:51
going to stop for one second. I was
1:30:53
just going to say that when
1:30:57
I was sucking off rodeo. This
1:31:00
is the horse, the pony that he was
1:31:02
talking about earlier. Not another thing. This is
1:31:04
not another thing. Genuine saw me and that's
1:31:06
where we got the inspiration. Yeah. Oh,
1:31:08
yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, a banger. So
1:31:10
thank you. Just let you know
1:31:13
that's where it came from. Stroking his chin like,
1:31:15
hmm, okay. Okay. All right,
1:31:17
I'm here. Are we still rolling here?
1:31:19
Yeah. Yes, it made it in the
1:31:21
show. Thank God. I'm going to
1:31:23
cut it. Emma. Okay,
1:31:26
so here's what you're, these are compiled by Amelia. So
1:31:28
you're going to see a close up image of a
1:31:30
food stuff and then you can buzz in with your
1:31:32
name and guess what it is. So
1:31:35
and also feel free to describe what you're
1:31:37
seeing for our listeners. So
1:31:39
first up, anyone can buzz in here. I
1:31:41
mean, okay, I want to say
1:31:43
Mitch and just, I mean, it's some sort
1:31:45
of meat in some way. I was going
1:31:47
to guess maybe like a burger or a
1:31:50
meatball or. What are you
1:31:52
seeing here? Like visually. It looks like
1:31:54
a, like a darker red Mars picture.
1:31:56
Okay, got it. It's like
1:31:58
a picture of. Yeah, photography. kind of look and
1:32:01
think and cracks. Yeah, there's kind
1:32:03
of little crevice up at the top there.
1:32:05
I think this is just where the burger
1:32:07
is breaking or the meat. Flex
1:32:10
of spinal cord. Yeah, yeah.
1:32:12
Oh, god. I
1:32:15
mean, I'll say this. It's a disgusting thing to look at,
1:32:17
kind of. Yes. But I think that it
1:32:19
is some sort of meat. I'm going to say it's a close up
1:32:21
of a burger, just because I don't know. OK, you're saying close up
1:32:23
of a burger. And yeah, we can. It might be a meatball, too.
1:32:25
I don't know. I was going to have you buzz in, but actually,
1:32:27
I think with the way this will work, I think you both can
1:32:30
take a guess on each one. And if you both get it, you
1:32:32
both get it. Cierra, you got any thoughts on this one, in terms
1:32:34
of what you're seeing? Yeah, I
1:32:36
think, OK, so I mean, that was also
1:32:38
my instinct, was like meatball or burger. But
1:32:40
if I'm going
1:32:43
to guess something different, maybe a, maybe,
1:32:48
could we say impossible burger? That's
1:32:51
fun. I like that. That's another alternative. OK,
1:32:53
we have two different burger varietals. We have
1:32:55
a straight up beef burger and an impossible
1:32:57
burger. You are both wrong.
1:33:00
Emma, do we want to reveal what this is? Let's zoom out. Let's
1:33:02
see this. Oh, brownie.
1:33:06
A brownie close up looks like a
1:33:08
burger. How about that? I mean, it
1:33:11
doesn't have those tracks. Did it change colors?
1:33:13
Can you go back to the last one? No,
1:33:15
it did not change colors. Yeah, it's the
1:33:17
lighting. It did not. Nope. Wow,
1:33:19
I like the big ass fork there. Yeah, that's a
1:33:21
brownie. Stunning. This is fucking
1:33:23
weird. Do
1:33:26
you not want to do it? No, I know I like it. I
1:33:29
like it. It's funny because when I was proofing these images,
1:33:31
I thought this was the easiest one. Oh,
1:33:34
no. Well, that's good. I did not. So.
1:33:36
Well, that's good. You know what? Now we know what. You
1:33:38
know, the first one you get in your, now we
1:33:41
kind of get. Right. That's kind of our tutorial mission.
1:33:43
Right. All right, let's get to the next one. OK.
1:33:46
Ooh. OK. I
1:33:48
have a close up of a. I
1:33:53
would just describe this as like kind of like
1:33:55
a green. I mean, this is very funny. It's
1:33:57
insane. Shaft like object. Yeah, it looks
1:33:59
like. Um, Hulk's, like the Hulk's dick or
1:34:01
something. Yeah, it could be like maybe the Hulk's
1:34:03
dick. Yeah, or I guess the Jolly Green Giant's
1:34:05
dick. Yeah, the Gosska the Grouches dick. Yeah, it
1:34:07
could be the Gosska the Grouches dick. You're
1:34:10
looking at the Turtles dick. Pickle
1:34:13
Rick's dick. Pickle Rick's dick, yeah, it could be
1:34:15
his dick. Ooh, pickle, you
1:34:17
know what? Cucumber, Mitch, cucumber is my
1:34:19
answer. I'm just guessing cucumber. That's a good
1:34:21
one. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say
1:34:24
Popsicle? Popsicle,
1:34:28
I like that answer. Is
1:34:30
it a separate take? I'm tempted
1:34:33
to give Mitch partial credit because it
1:34:35
is a sea vegetable. It
1:34:37
is celery. I almost said celery, I swear to God.
1:34:39
But then you know, it's peeled, so that's
1:34:42
tricky. That is tricky, yeah. I almost said
1:34:44
celery. I thought celery was gonna be too
1:34:46
simple. When you said pickle Rick, that's when
1:34:48
I went cucumber. Yeah,
1:34:50
sabotage. All
1:34:52
right, next image. Oh, come on
1:34:54
now. Mitch, you say,
1:34:56
well, come on now. Do you wanna hazard a guess?
1:34:59
I mean, the issue is that this is clearly
1:35:01
melted cheese and I wanna say it's pizza. But
1:35:06
when you pull out, it's like, it was not,
1:35:08
I think it was like on top of nachos
1:35:10
or some bullshit. Right. But
1:35:13
I'm just gonna stick with pizza. Mitch is
1:35:15
saying pizza. Okay, then I'm gonna say lasagna.
1:35:18
Lasagna. That's the other one that could be bullshit
1:35:20
like that too. It is
1:35:22
pizza, Mitch is on the board. Good
1:35:24
work. Well done, nice
1:35:26
slices, cheese-a. You have
1:35:29
a lactose intolerance, do
1:35:31
you still have an occasional slice
1:35:33
of pizza? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:35:35
I carry my little lactate and my purse
1:35:38
all around town. What's
1:35:40
your favorite kind of pizza? I like a pepperoni
1:35:42
pizza. Pepperoni, okay. Classic.
1:35:46
All right, next up. We
1:35:48
ate yesterday next to, oh.
1:35:50
Peach. Damn. Sierra says
1:35:53
peach right away. I agree that it's a
1:35:55
peach. Mitch is also saying peach. It's like
1:35:57
that emoji. Let's see the
1:35:59
way it is. It is this these are very Now
1:36:03
you know how to use the peaches These
1:36:05
are thick peaches But I'm
1:36:07
going out. That's like that looks like my ass like
1:36:10
that like the peach now That's
1:36:16
like one of those open asses you know saying is
1:36:18
like a like it just looks like
1:36:20
an open butt You know saying yes, right yeah
1:36:23
You have like an open, but Feel
1:36:27
bad like there's you know you mean like the way
1:36:29
the flood the flesh folds are their butters just kind
1:36:31
of the Butters just kind of open you're not talking
1:36:33
about someone's like doing a goat's-e like spreading their cheeks
1:36:36
no no I'm saying like I'm saying
1:36:38
like there's just like the sort of butts that
1:36:40
just kind of look like like always Oh, it's
1:36:42
a naturally like Standing
1:36:45
still breeze hits, but yes It's
1:36:49
like a church could just fall out sort of thing. Oh
1:36:51
boy. That's a lifestyle that yeah,
1:36:53
you gotta change your whole life I'm
1:36:56
talking you know that there's those open butt people
1:36:58
they exist now. I do I don't know I
1:37:00
wasn't thinking about cheeks flapping like that too much
1:37:11
We've seen quite a few I've seen some hope I've seen
1:37:13
some butts I just like the open but is not not
1:37:15
a term a term that's new to me, but I'll look
1:37:17
out you know what I'm talking About I think I know
1:37:19
what you're talking about all right. Let's like a wide crack
1:37:21
the We're
1:37:25
looking a new image here, so do we
1:37:28
get to can we guess same
1:37:30
thing yeah, you can get something Yeah,
1:37:33
yeah fried chicken two guesses for fried chicken,
1:37:35
it's gonna be like cornflakes. Yeah, it is
1:37:38
fried chicken Sierra has two Mitch has three
1:37:40
I believe The
1:37:43
the the peach pit looks like a brain
1:37:45
doesn't especially in that you go back a
1:37:48
couple Look at That
1:37:51
it does look like yeah, it's
1:37:53
got those wrinkly things like a walnut
1:37:55
yeah, what if peaches are conscious? What
1:37:58
if they're sentient what they have sold? They're
1:38:00
thinking help open their but it All
1:38:09
right, we were on fried chicken next up Close
1:38:13
up of some oh, I know it is Mitch
1:38:15
raspberry raspberry Yeah, we had two guesses for raspberries
1:38:17
and see we've gotten a lot better. You can
1:38:19
see the reveal. Yeah You
1:38:21
are correct that with although honestly the
1:38:23
zoomed out is not super illuminating It
1:38:25
also is like not super clear what
1:38:27
that is, but that's a little fucking
1:38:29
whiskers. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah I don't like that.
1:38:32
Is that what that what's on them? Yeah, gnarly
1:38:34
bug little bug Yeah, it's like bug antenna Yeah,
1:38:36
take my Gillette Mach 3 to a raspberry next
1:38:38
time before I fucking eat that thing. It's nasty
1:38:40
damn you have grades of the Mach 3 Yeah,
1:38:42
I'm on that Mach 3. You know I have
1:38:44
someone's making money. They got it. They got him
1:38:46
at Costco. All right next up. Ooh Some
1:38:51
sort of red onion I'm gonna
1:38:53
go with That's a great
1:38:55
guess Sierra says red onion. I'm
1:38:57
gonna go with This to
1:38:59
me looks like a turnip or a beat.
1:39:01
I'm gonna go Turn
1:39:05
up Mitch goes turnip It
1:39:08
is a red onion Sierra takes it. It's not
1:39:10
it up at four Bring
1:39:13
a rosemary in that photo, too. Yeah, that's
1:39:15
true. You guessed rosemary. Would you have
1:39:17
won? Um, I
1:39:20
don't think so. I would have given
1:39:22
it to you. Yeah, I think Would've
1:39:25
been surprised All
1:39:27
right next up. I like a red onion. I like you know
1:39:29
I like white onion now more though over the years Interesting
1:39:32
yeah, okay, this seems like it feel about
1:39:34
that wags. What's that? I said I
1:39:36
was I love red onion, and then I've gone to white
1:39:38
onion over the years. I like red onion There's
1:39:40
a difference. Yeah, the bet that's all
1:39:43
context context. Yeah, that's good point if I if
1:39:45
they're if I had to pick one onion I'd pick green onion
1:39:48
Mmm. Well, I like green onion Okay,
1:39:50
so we've got cuz there's looks like there's
1:39:53
some sort of curvature here. This is tricky.
1:39:55
Maybe some condensation on the exterior Yeah,
1:39:57
I think this is Wow.
1:40:01
Ciarce says pickle. Right, we didn't
1:40:03
have that before. That's interesting, because
1:40:05
it's like a tints green towards the bottom.
1:40:07
Right. I think.
1:40:09
I don't know this one as well. I'm going to say like
1:40:12
cherry tomato. Now, if this
1:40:14
is, Ciarce said pickle, but if this is
1:40:16
pickle Rick's dick, does she still get it?
1:40:19
I think that's up to you. Okay, I'll probably give it
1:40:21
to her. Let's see what the reveal is. I'm actually
1:40:23
going to... Hot dog. Hot dog, wow.
1:40:26
It's pickle shakes. Yeah, I mean, I should have said
1:40:28
pickle Rick dick. That would have been closer. That would
1:40:30
have been closer, yeah. God damn it. Wow. It's
1:40:33
kind of like a meat pickle. It's on... It is a
1:40:35
meat pickle. It is a meat pickle. It
1:40:38
is on some surface that's reflecting kind of green.
1:40:41
That's so strange, just a hot dog and
1:40:43
a void. Yeah. So
1:40:45
it's a single sausage, it's not even on a bun. It's
1:40:48
just against like a blue sky
1:40:50
background. This is like if you and I
1:40:52
break into the matrix is what we'd see. It's
1:40:54
a fucking dog and a
1:40:56
void. Doughboy's arrival. And it's got like
1:40:58
spritz on it. Like it's slightly condensation. Yes,
1:41:01
yeah, it's been sweating a little bit. Yeah. All
1:41:04
right, that one was tricky. Next up. It's
1:41:06
like Wags and I under these lights. This
1:41:09
is another tricky one. They've
1:41:11
gotten hard. We have a close up. Oh, I know,
1:41:14
Mitch, chili pepper. Yeah, I was going to say red
1:41:16
pepper. Red pepper, chili
1:41:18
pepper. Let's see what the answer is. It's
1:41:21
a raisin. It's a fucking raisin. It was
1:41:23
a little too wrinkly. It was too wrinkly. It was
1:41:25
too... Darn it. It was too wrinkly.
1:41:27
But it could have been like dried pepper. Like I understand. Yeah,
1:41:30
it would have been a pretty intensely wrinkled dried pepper. Yeah,
1:41:32
yeah. All right, next up. Hold
1:41:34
on a second. Can I also just say that's a fucking nasty
1:41:36
ass raisin. That
1:41:39
looks like shit. You don't want to get too close to a raisin.
1:41:43
Raisins are usually I feel like darker, darker hue.
1:41:45
Oh, it's a lighter. This is more
1:41:47
of a golden raisin. Yeah, this is... Backlit.
1:41:49
This fucking... This is a bullshit. This is a
1:41:52
bullshit one. You know it's bullshit. Sort
1:41:54
of. I think it's also... Don't defend
1:41:56
it. It's his fault. This is a reasonable
1:41:58
one. A spotlight on it. Backlit
1:42:00
raisin go go back to the go back to
1:42:02
the zoomed in photo you could have gotten this. Oh shut up You could
1:42:04
have got the colors the color I
1:42:07
could not have gotten it, but someone could have gotten it. This is a
1:42:09
fair question Let's
1:42:12
go you know the answers. I do don't
1:42:14
you know of course you do all right next up you
1:42:16
love fucking Wait someone's got
1:42:18
to drive this fucking thing you want to do
1:42:20
it no I'm
1:42:24
having fun if it's not a Nissan
1:42:26
Altima. He's not So
1:42:31
this is like mac and cheese or like a pen
1:42:33
a like Like
1:42:35
a cheesy pasta. Yeah We
1:42:38
guess cheesy pasta should we just do it
1:42:40
together cheesy pasta yeah cheesy pasta Yeah,
1:42:44
I mean I'll give it to you it doesn't matter
1:42:46
that doesn't matter since you both because anything it is
1:42:48
it is specifically Fettuccine Alfredo That's
1:42:51
a cheesy boss yeah, that's what I would that's
1:42:54
what I know This is a
1:42:56
that that is for sure rumblies for me that is
1:42:58
a anytime I'm doing fettuccine. I want to work that
1:43:00
thing right in my mouth. It looks good as hell.
1:43:02
Yeah Yeah, I'm sleeping for like two days though by
1:43:05
the way I chugged that whole that whole glass of water like
1:43:07
an hour ago, and I was like why don't a pee so
1:43:09
bad It's
1:43:14
fun being fucking stupid sometimes I Mean
1:43:18
Casey was right no water-based Yeah,
1:43:22
right that plus the ramen All
1:43:25
right, I think we have one more actually we actually this
1:43:27
last one is actually a tiebreaker So
1:43:29
this will determine it if you go different directions
1:43:33
Close up on something this I will just say this
1:43:35
looks pretty nasty for audio I
1:43:38
think it's I think it's say
1:43:40
I think it's a walnut Sierra guesses
1:43:42
walnut Yeah, you know what you got it first, and I
1:43:44
think that you might be right, but for
1:43:46
the sake of it I should guess something different, and
1:43:49
I guess you're but you're right Right
1:43:54
I'm gonna just say mushroom to end the game
1:43:57
let's zoom out it is a
1:43:59
walnut Sierra wins.
1:44:04
I threw the match at the
1:44:06
end there, but I appreciate it. I
1:44:10
should have just said Walnut, we could have won together. I don't
1:44:12
know why I did. But you know what, I made my choice.
1:44:14
I wouldn't have liked that, I think. That
1:44:18
goes to the guest either way. So congratulations,
1:44:20
Sierra. You went outright for
1:44:22
Slop Quiz Extreme Close-Up Edition, just like a restaurant.
1:44:24
That was good. You know what, I wonder, I've
1:44:26
never thought about that before because it was fun
1:44:29
visually. But is that bullshit for our
1:44:31
listeners? It might be, I don't know. I think
1:44:33
we tried to do it. On YouTube, the visuals
1:44:36
will be there. Yeah, people can check out our YouTube channel.
1:44:38
We talk about it too. I think we try to paint
1:44:41
with words for people who are just listening
1:44:43
on their computer and the camera would have
1:44:45
to- That looks like shit. Yeah, perfect. Look
1:44:47
at that, that's not a reason. It
1:44:50
looks like Raphael's dick. Yeah, whose
1:44:52
penis is this one? Who
1:44:56
had the biggest hog of the turtles? Donatello.
1:44:59
It's like the Bo Staff? Yeah, Bo
1:45:01
Staff, come on. He's also
1:45:03
like the nerd. The nerd has the
1:45:06
big hog? Oh, you wish. Fucking, that's
1:45:08
bullshit. What are you with? Michael Alejandro,
1:45:11
the party dude has the big hog. No,
1:45:13
he's projecting, he's overcompensating. No,
1:45:15
we're not. No, he's not. No,
1:45:17
I know. Yeah,
1:45:22
maybe Donatello. You know what? Raph probably has the big one.
1:45:24
Raph might have a huge one. Yeah, he has a big
1:45:26
one, yeah. You know, the only person who knows, Splinter.
1:45:31
From when they were babies. Yeah, your memory is he
1:45:34
was changing their little diapers. No, else
1:45:36
knows. Krang knows. Well, yeah,
1:45:39
I mean, Krang's a sick fuck. Just
1:45:42
like a restaurant without your feedback, let's open

1:46:32
is it? I've never been. Is it
1:46:34
Edmonton? Where, I don't know which province it is.
1:46:36
The answer is I have not been. This is
1:46:38
this- Or Edmonton is a city in Alberta. I
1:46:40
don't, Calgary might just be a province. These look
1:46:42
insane by the way. You got a full crab
1:46:44
singing out of it. Calgary
1:46:46
is a city in Alberta. Okay, got it. So
1:46:49
I was kind of close by saying it was in
1:46:51
Edmonton, although I was completely wrong because Edmonton is another
1:46:53
city in Alberta. I'm
1:46:56
the smart one here. Yeah, I wouldn't know.
1:47:00
I hear the smart one here of whoa. What does that mean?
1:47:03
You're sitting next to someone who went to Harvard. You're not smarter
1:47:05
than any fucking idiot. I met up with the Doughboys. Who
1:47:08
cares? I
1:47:12
was just saying I don't know shit. Cowboy Yaki,
1:47:14
little teriyaki donuts, Korean waffle are some of the
1:47:16
ones that are up here. Cowboy Yaki, crispy on
1:47:18
the outside and tender on the inside, brushed with
1:47:20
teriyaki sauce and salad dressing, full
1:47:22
with meat floss, seaweed strips and big chunks
1:47:25
of octopus, pickled ginger and cabbage. Everybody's not
1:47:27
interested in that, but maybe, I mean, like
1:47:29
all these have to be probably
1:47:32
pretty good, right? What are
1:47:34
the little teriyaki donuts because those just look
1:47:36
like they don't. They are freshly made doughnuts,
1:47:38
lovingly drizzled with a secret teriyaki sauce. So
1:47:40
they've kind of probably got like a, you
1:47:43
know, I think that that was actually could be good.
1:47:45
Honestly, I like that over the cowboy Yaki. Yeah, the
1:47:47
cowboy Yaki, the thing is I don't eat cephalopods, so
1:47:49
I probably just would not eat that one. Sure. I
1:47:52
guess it's probably like supposed to be kind of a
1:47:54
take on a, what's
1:47:56
the, is it taco Yaki, whatever that that dish
1:47:58
is. Oh, yeah, yeah. Octopus fried we
1:48:01
phrase meat floss kind of gets me
1:48:04
that is a little yeah full full with
1:48:06
meat floss Yeah, Oh, yeah, the Korean waffle
1:48:08
is strange because oh wait. It's oh, it's a
1:48:10
smash patty. Oh, that could
1:48:12
be good This is full basically a
1:48:14
burger on a waffle. Yeah, like
1:48:16
that's I think that could absolutely and it has We
1:48:19
talked about Korean barbecue. Yeah, that's okay we
1:48:22
were talking about with Korean of Korean food
1:48:24
wise we went to a Korean food restaurant
1:48:26
and and sometimes the savory
1:48:28
time sweet combo can be It
1:48:31
can be a little tough for me. It's I'm
1:48:33
not sure my favorite thing And
1:48:36
that and so I wonder what the Korean waffle if
1:48:38
you would get that at all, but some of these
1:48:40
ones down below Yeah,
1:48:42
let's go a little bit more. We got a lot
1:48:44
of these are like a lobster bow. Of course. I'd
1:48:46
eat Yeah, golden spider bow. I mean that is that
1:48:49
a soft-shell crab that seems fun baller bow We
1:48:51
got a meat but you're scrolling down a little bit. We got a meatball
1:48:53
mac and cheese Yeah, a
1:48:55
horton mac and cheese and a giant matzo stick on
1:48:57
a stick. Yeah, I would totally do
1:49:00
that That's the three right there. I mean, it's
1:49:02
it's sad because it's like the most boring American
1:49:04
iced food Yeah, but like yeah, I would eat
1:49:06
all those things and I love them I always
1:49:08
love that we reviewed hot dog on the stick
1:49:11
on the podcast Previously, but they have
1:49:13
the cheese on a stick Yeah, which I always
1:49:15
like because it's just either like a big it's
1:49:17
just I think it's just Jack or American They
1:49:19
got there, but just like a big semi
1:49:22
melted thing of cheese that's deep-fried. It's so
1:49:24
disgusting, but it's delicious Yeah,
1:49:26
I'm reading the description always So is this like this
1:49:29
has got to be like a kind of akin to
1:49:31
a county fair sort of thing to some degree like
1:49:33
it's a Rodeo, but it's also yeah, like I had
1:49:35
those that signage. Yeah, it's like fair adjacent. Do you
1:49:37
ever go to a fair? Oh, yeah, I've been
1:49:39
to the OC fair at San Diego Fair
1:49:41
out here. Yeah, what do you like to do
1:49:43
to fair? Um, I'll do like I'll do some
1:49:45
of the little games I'm not trying to go on
1:49:47
the rides on sure, but yeah eat all eat some
1:49:50
deep fried things get a funnel cake Go
1:49:52
to the yeah get throw some
1:49:54
darts at some things try to win some
1:49:57
stuffed animals. Yeah. Yeah We
1:50:01
have more of a Bradley Cooper
1:50:03
relationship with fairs. We're
1:50:06
a biting chicken's heads off, basically. Oh, yes,
1:50:08
right, like geeks, yeah. What
1:50:11
does that movie call, though? We're more of a
1:50:13
nightmare alley, sort of. Nightmare alley, that's what we
1:50:15
call it. There we go, yeah. Got it, got
1:50:17
it, perfect. All right, so this next crew, yes,
1:50:19
sour candy soft serve, that looks great. I
1:50:22
mean, it looks weird. Watermelon burger, okay,
1:50:24
so. I'm gonna do it, come on.
1:50:26
A watermelon sesame bun. They're
1:50:28
literally slices of watermelon with a,
1:50:31
is there an actual burger on there? I don't know if there
1:50:33
is. No, so it's
1:50:35
just like. It says also available vegetarian, which
1:50:38
makes me think there is a burger on
1:50:40
there. Yeah, that's weird. Yeah, yeah. We got
1:50:42
it on there. Serve with feta, spinach, fresh
1:50:44
mint, and drizzled with, what is it, balsamic
1:50:46
reduction. So they're just kind of peer-nourfing that
1:50:48
over the top of it. And
1:50:51
they got a Chilean style hot dog over there. That
1:50:53
one looks awesome. I've never had a Chilean style hot dog.
1:50:55
Me neither, but it looks fucking great. I'm gonna try
1:50:57
aioli, ooh. There
1:50:59
was a truck that was near us for a bit. I
1:51:01
don't know where it is now, but it was, they
1:51:04
did Venezuelan style hot dogs, which I
1:51:06
never had. And they have like potato
1:51:08
sticks on them, but it was good
1:51:10
as hell. This stuff is like all
1:51:12
interesting, but like besides the first row
1:51:14
and all of it, I
1:51:17
would happily eat Takis Mini
1:51:19
Donuts. Takis Mini Donuts, yeah, why not? What is
1:51:21
that though? It's made
1:51:23
with a, it's got Takis and
1:51:27
a sauce. Oh, the Takis chips? Yeah, yeah,
1:51:29
yeah, yeah, yeah. Interesting. And then we've
1:51:31
got, and this is from Avatara Pizza.
1:51:34
Wow, so even on the meat. So hey, we were
1:51:36
wondering if they had water in the Avatara. Well, it
1:51:38
sounds like they have a pizza plate. Sounds like they
1:51:40
do. And they've got fire-roasted Gator Pepperoni Pizza. This is
1:51:42
made with Gator meat. Now that's something
1:51:44
you can have down on the body. Hey. It's
1:51:48
alligator pepperoni. Alligator, so I
1:51:50
would have this because I don't have, I don't eat
1:51:53
pork. So I actually haven't had
1:51:55
pepperoni because pepperoni is usually made with beef and
1:51:57
pork combination. So like, yeah, the idea of having a pizza
1:51:59
plate having a reptilian version of it. I'd totally do
1:52:01
that. Are you gonna ever eat pork again? I don't
1:52:03
know. I think it's good to like, I go
1:52:06
through phases of like not eating things and then
1:52:08
reintroducing them in my diet, I don't know. Some
1:52:10
stuff I don't ever really have a craving anymore.
1:52:12
Is the ice cube thing, because
1:52:15
you never eat a pig as a cop? Is
1:52:17
it that sort of thing or no? Well, I
1:52:19
didn't think about it that way, but yeah. Oh,
1:52:21
all right. No, I
1:52:23
like, I just, I got, when it's done,
1:52:25
it's the same reason I don't eat cephalopods,
1:52:28
octopus, and squids. I was just like reading
1:52:30
more about like brain functions and bad that
1:53:24
it was House of Pain. Way
1:53:29
dorkier fits me though. From
1:53:33
jump around, it wasn't even. I
1:53:35
heard House of Pain isn't
1:53:37
from Boston. They're not. Yeah, isn't that crazy? They're
1:53:39
either from New York or from California. I think
1:53:42
they might be from California, but they're always wearing
1:53:44
like Celtic shit and like shamrocks and
1:53:46
stuff. What the fuck are they doing? And he's
1:53:49
Whitey Ford. They really might
1:53:51
know what it's like. That guy, remember him?
1:53:53
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He sang the blues.
1:53:56
Biscoff cookie mini donuts. Biscoff cookie
1:53:58
mini donuts, Oreo cookie. Mini
1:54:00
donuts and lemon meringue mini donuts.
1:54:02
I said Bischoff because I was thinking of Eric
1:54:04
Bischoff. It's Bischoff.
1:54:07
Bischoff. Those all look
1:54:09
great. And then Ube, we were talking
1:54:11
about the last, I mean, snow cream
1:54:13
looks great. Yeah, I'm
1:54:15
pro Ube. I think a big part of it is
1:54:17
I just like the color. I think the color is
1:54:19
fun. It's a distinct flavor. I'm like so-so on it,
1:54:21
but I would eat both of those, of course. I
1:54:24
do love Ube. Yeah, gorgeous. I'm less excited about the
1:54:26
two Ube ones. Yeah. I think
1:54:28
it could be good in that
1:54:30
sort of cream frosting setting. Maybe it's too
1:54:32
much in the coconut little donuts. And the
1:54:34
donuts are made of Ube. Right. Bit of
1:54:36
a hat on a hat. Yeah. That snow
1:54:38
cream looks a lot like what they make
1:54:40
in New Orleans. It has the condensed milk
1:54:43
on it. Are they called snowballs,
1:54:45
I believe? Oh, it looks like it's from down
1:54:47
in Dubai. They've had those Gator
1:54:49
pepperoni on them. Yeah. Bayou
1:54:52
influenced with Gator ravioli. Gator ravioli.
1:54:55
Don't go up to Canada. They
1:54:57
turn you into a pepperoni. That's
1:55:01
what they do. That's the alligators warning each other.
1:55:04
They listen to that maple leaf rag, and then
1:55:07
they turn you into a pepperoni. Is
1:55:14
it from Canada, the maple leaf rag? I don't think
1:55:16
so. I liked that. I
1:55:18
actually am sad that you said the answer. I
1:55:21
thought I got you to ask. Stroopwafel.
1:55:23
Stroopwafel, pan pineapple, orange
1:55:26
chocolate watermelon. Yeah, all
1:55:28
this looks good. Cheese, what? Cheeseburger ice cream.
1:55:30
You read correctly. This no meat vanilla infused
1:55:32
BBQ flavored ice cream is served in a
1:55:34
waffle cone dunked in hot cheese and sprinkled
1:55:36
with sesame seeds garnished with an onion ring
1:55:38
and a pickle. Yahoo, that's fucking disgusting. I
1:55:40
don't know about that. I would try it
1:55:42
out of curiosity. But
1:55:44
that's all of their sales, people being like, that looks disgusting.
1:55:46
I got to try that thing, and then taking two bites
1:55:49
and throwing it in the trash. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Churro
1:55:51
fries. Churro fries. That's a no brainer. Yeah, I'd eat that.
1:55:53
Is there more to the menu? We've got to stop at
1:55:55
some point. Jesus Christ, there's so much. Wait, keep. A poutine.
1:55:57
Scroll down a bit and see how much there is. We
1:56:00

my slurp, I think my slurp stain got a
1:59:31
tight pinned out. Thank you, Emma, for being on
1:59:34

yeah, in some ways you have. So yeah, but I kind
1:59:42
of have been to a rodeo. Nice. A

rodeo's came to me, I guess, is the answer.
