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

40:06

lived there for a time, right? Right chowder

40:08

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

1:46:18

are both welcome. Sarah, have you

1:46:20

been north of the border much? No, not

1:46:22

really. Yeah. I've certainly never

1:46:24

been to Calgary. Mitch, you ever been to Calgary? Where

1:46:28

is it? Canada. Well, I've

1:46:30

been to Canada. Where in Canada

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

tight pinned out. Thank you, Emma, for being on

1:59:42

of have been to a rodeo. Nice. A

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