This is a head sight on the dinner table.
But worldwide it's a staple of halal, Caribbean, and Latin cuisine among countless other cultures.
And in the mid-20th century, a stewed goat dish originating in Mexico's Jalisco province,
Biria de Chivo, anglicized as Biria, made its way north of the border.
Biria has been consumed in Mexican-American immigrant communities for decades, and today
Biria de Race is more common than de Chivo, made with the meat of cud chouers instead of can chouers.
Since the 2010s, Biria has become a trendy dish among American foodies, the tender meat served
in tortillas or on plates and paired with a rich umami consomme on the side for dipping. And as its popularity became
inescapable, chain restaurants smelled not savory stew, but the chemical paper scent
of the almighty dollar, scrambling to proffer their own watered-down but budget-friendly
interpretations. In November of 2023, a Mexican-American chain founded near the San Bernardino Mountains
as House of the Taco introduced its own Burialine, complete with Sidecar of Consomay.
One could note that just five years ago, this same chain debuted with Fanfare its beyond
line as the fast food industry seemed set on phasing out animal products for plant-based
proteins.
But Americans responded to beyond and impossible versions of burgers, chicken fingers, and tacos
by saying, fuck you, more meat.
As these plant-based simulacrums fell off of menus and into oblivion.
Now, as the beef varietal of Birria enters the American mainstream via fast food, will
any American chain restaurant be daring enough to offer Birria made authentically with goat meat? To cite the goat's stablemate,
the noble horse, one would have to assume,
Neeeee.
This week on Doughboys, we return, once again, to Del Taco. [♪ Music Plays Welcome to Doe Boys, the podcast about chain restaurants.

I like Shapiro.
But then you can watch Muck.
You can watch Mark Marin, dude.
This guy's gonna be in a good spot no matter what.
You know, no matter how much he wants to pop stuff.
Everyone's got video now.
That's the new frontier of podcasting.
You gotta have video.
It's great.
Having video is great.
It's great to see us look like shit
and keep looking like shit and keep
looking like shit as the year goes on. Yeah. And look more and more like shit. Yeah, gradually
degrade over time as our bodies suffer the consequences of our choices. Happy two year,
Mitch. Happy two year, guys. This is our, we started recording again. Back in the studio
this week, we released a few episodes that were recorded in 2023, but we were caught
up to the present. This is a main feed episode for 2024 that is being recorded in January of 2024.
So here we are.
Well, I was going to say this.
Yeah.
We were on Jeopardy.
That's right.
We were on Jeopardy.
Which was very nice.
And I think a lot of it, I mean, it all came from you on those picket lines.
I mean, a lot of connections with the Jeopardy staff over there. The lovely people, shout out to Michelle and Jim and Billy, and Marcus and the whole crew.
Everyone is out there picketing. Lovely people.
I watched it with my mom and sister as it was on live at the dinner table where we used to watch with my dad and everything.
It was very emotional. It was a very emotional moment. So thanks for that, Wikes.
Hey, you know what?
I didn't ask for it, but it was lovely that they did it.
A lot of writers, showrunners, they watch,
you know, they listen to this show.
Yeah.
And that's a very nice gesture.
Here's a new one.
Give this guy a writing job.
That's what I say.
Well, I'm not looking, but that's very nice of you to say, Mitch.
Get him back in the room.
Get in there.
What's your room?
I'm in the fucking Doe Boyz studio.
Full of Del Taco and ready to talk for two hours
That's very nice Mitch it that's a lovely gesture is a nice thing to say
I'm just saying a lot of you know, there's a lot of I know there's a lot of movers and shakers who listen to this show
It wags in a room I'm content with how things are going just get in a room. I need you to get out of here
I need you to get in a fucking room for God's sake. You want to be recording at nights?
You want to be recording on weekends?
Yes. Are you kidding me?
Do you want to be recording at nights?
That sounds fucking cool as hell.
Doe Boyz Nights.
Doe Boyz Nights.
You want to deal with me.
Make a new spin-off.
I had a 12-hour day, and then I got a grumply hop
on a Zoom call.
And you got to deal with that wiger.
That's what you want?
Yeah, same difference to me.
I don't know.
You'll be mad no matter what.
We should also talk about with this new year.
We got a new studio layout, which we talked about on the Dove Boys Double, but we're
repositioned.
We did a big dramatic thing where we switched sides.
Sides have been switched back because you have a new chair and a half over there.
And I'm over here with our guest.
You have a new chair and a half.
It makes it sound like they got me a chair and a half.
It was called a chair and a half.
That's what I heard.
Yeah, which we found out.
You're not occupying the entire chair.
There's a couple of pillows there.
There's a couple pillows now.
It's like a love seat size pillow.
It looks like about half a chair actually
that I would say is leftover.
Yeah.
It's the perfect Jimmy and I have a lot.
So I'm taking up half a chair and a half.
So I take up 75% chair. I guess so. I'm not taking up half a chair and a half. So I take up 75% chair.
I guess so.
I'm sorry.
I'm gonna take it 100% chair.
I take up a chair and a quarter I guess.
I'm taking 100% chair here.
Yeah, I'm 100% chair.
I think you're like about 100% chair.
There's like, like, like, we'll be just saying
about a half chair left.
This is complicated for me.
Mitch is touching some pillows at our next Zoom.
There's, there, we got Barbie pink pillows here,
but I would, I want Jemi to come up here. We'll move the pillows. We have got Barbie pink pillows here, but I want Jemmy to come up here.
We'll move the pillows, we can make room for Jemmy.
Yeah.
If Jemmy hops onto the chair next to Mitch,
I will stop listening to the podcast.
Casey just went,
You can move the pillows.
I know, I know, I know, I know.
They should, I'm boycotting dough boys until they take Jemmy to the book. I know, I know, I know. I know, I know.
They should, I'm boycotting dough boys until they take Jimmy to the pound.
What's the matter with you?
What's the matter with you?
What's the matter with you?
We have a dog in the studio, it's great.
We're happy, everyone's boot is better.
When I was, I gotta tell you a story.
Yeah.
Well, I got two, well, how the hell to Spoon Nation.
Happy New Year, Spoon Nation.
I did a sound bath when I was in Quincy.
Wow.
And I went with my sister.
And it was funny, they were like, just like think,
like, you know, like, think what you want for the new year.
And I was laying there.
And I like fell asleep for a moment.
And when I came to, you know what my thought was?
Is that I want to be the new Freddie.
You'd be a great Freddie.
I've never thought of this before.
I hate when people are like, I want that.
Like, I'm not saying, as an actor, I don't really mean it,
but like, for whatever reason during the sound bath,
I was like, I came to, I was like,
I should be the new Freddie.
Right.
Which I mean, like, no one is, Robert England's the only I should be the new Freddie. Right. Which I mean like, no one is,
Robert England's the only one who's good at it.
So it's like a mistake, but I want,
what are you gonna say?
I was just saying,
being the first Freddie who falls asleep on the job. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha That was my deep realization. Wow, you'd be great Because that's what they should make some of it's a comedy. I don't want the role and I won't get it
Yeah, and Robert English you just still have the role. Yeah, he's great. They should make new Freddy's
Why are they why are they new nightmares? Why not keep them going? They're fun and hey make another new nightmare
That's a great movie. That's what I'm saying make oh make a new new nightmare. Yeah, okay. That makes us a nightmare, too
To nightmare my other my other topic of conversation. Uh-huh. It's a it's a it's very different. Okay. That makes sense. Two nightmare too. Two nightmare. My other topic of conversation, it's very different.
Okay.
But it was a thing I was thinking of.
How many generations, if you had a time travel machine,
how many generations separated would you have to be to,
how do I put this delicately?
How many generations separated from you would someone have to be in your family to fuck them?
I really, when you said how to say this delicately, I thought that was exactly where you were going.
And I was right.
I think you're, I mean, I think you're probably-
To me, I was, I mean, like it does make me sad to think of like, like my grandma's grandma.
She like knew my, you know what I mean?
So like that to me is maybe like the, like it has to be beyond my grandma's grandma, she like knew my, you know what I mean? So like that to me is maybe like,
it has to be beyond my grandma's grandma.
I think like four generations, you're probably safe.
Okay, back or forth basically.
I mean, it's time travel, so you go, okay, okay.
I don't know why you'd want to do this.
Yeah, yeah.
Something about being at home with your mom.
Maybe think of it.
Okay, but if she was like my great grandma,
I'd be okay, right?
Jesus Christ.
I mean, travel, look, let's be real here.
Traveling around with you and it was like,
you went back in time as your great aunt
and you guys headed off or something, you know?
I feel like I met my great aunt.
I mean, I did too.
Yeah, yeah.
So a young version of relative you've already
like known in your life.
I mean, like, I'm not saying I'd want you.
I'm just saying you'd be hated off
if you didn't know him, you know what I mean?
Oh, this makes people uncomfortable.
Let's spark to this curiosity.
Yeah, why are you thinking about this?
I don't know.
I think it might have been another
Soundpath revelation.
I also, his time machine.
You gotta remember the time machine thing.
Because we talked back to the future.
Yeah, I remember the time machine.
Marty almost went for it within one generation.
Right, with his mom.
But he also, he kind of put the kibosh on that when he figured out what was going on.
Yeah, but he also kind of seemed into it.
It was very strange. It was looking good.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, but that's disgusting.
I know.
That's what you say.
I know.
What do you realize is it's his mom?
Yeah, but I don't know.
I just wonder.
I was just thinking about time in general, I guess.
If we have any geneticists who are in our Discord server
and want to weigh in with the biological ramifications,
I mean, how?
Because I've heard things about like,
you know, there are even some-
And I think that is a good use of the geneticist
to listen to themselves.
Yeah, 100%.
Yeah.
Stop working on that cancer cure
and try to figure out where in Mitch's family tree
you can fuck a relative.
There are laws about that too, like cousins and stuff.
Oh, geez.
Someone's figured it out.
There are laws. And I think there's stuff. Oh, right. There are someone's figured it out
And I think there's I think when you you know even with people who are your age who are related to you if it's like enough
Removed of a cousin. It's like the genetic chances of any sort of you know
Because as a reason this is litigated this because there's there's chances of some sort of a genetic issue with your offspring I think those those are really, and also probably just some general taboos,
like that's icky.
Yeah, sure. Yeah, I'd say it's a little icky.
Right. Because why shouldn't you be able to have sex
with a blood relative if you're using contraception,
if that's the concern?
Like that's the other thing.
So that just becomes like a taboo.
You guys make good points, everybody.
If you're both consenting adults,
you know, I know there's like potentially
a power dynamic there, so that could be unhealthy,
but I'm just saying that could be,
if it's not purely,
I feel like we're really gonna get to the bottom of this.
It's not purely about preventing some sort of
genetic malady.
Yeah, what is this genetic,
is like abomination gonna come?
You know what I mean?
It sounds very scary.
I think they're worried about like a, you know,
a, I was going to spoil a movie, I won't do it.
There's a recent movie where this is like a thing.
Really?
A recent horror movie, yeah.
What's, can you say that?
Can we believe it?
Can you say the name of it?
Yeah, I'll create more work for Emma.
It's the movie's
Oh yeah.
All right, we should, you should play your drop because we got a lot of show to get to and we got a great cast. Anyways, welcome. All right, you should play your drop,
because we got a lot of show to get to,
and we got a great cast.
Anyways, welcome to the Jeopardy! listeners,
and here we go.
Emma, let's hit them with a little drop.
I like all of them.
Ranched in cheesy jalapeno dip,
Buffalo ranch dip in the buttery garlic dip.
Ranched in cheesy jalapeno dip, Buffalo ranch dip in the buttery garlic tip. Ranch dip, cheesy jalapeno dip,
buffalo ranch dip in the buttery garlic dip.
I like all of them.
I love that.
I kind of like that.
That's a jam.
That's a little, little, little Caesars, dip hop.
Here's the, here's the email.
Hey, DK and the rest of you,
this is a short drop I came up with while folding laundry, listened to
Little Caesars 2 with Marissa Pinson and David Nier.
Wow.
I know the strike is over, but wanting to say Twisted Metal was good.
Hey, Spoon Nation.
I love it.
Thanks for considering Charlie.
Mitch, I watch all of Twisted Metal and I've been able to say it here on the
podcast.
I watch the entire show, you're great in it.
Thank you.
You're a fun show.
You're a good man.
It was a good show.
It's coming back, baby. It's coming back.
Great news.
Great news, yeah.
Mitchell Curse is over.
I usually end shows when I go on them.
Yeah, it's gonna be fun.
I don't know where we're gonna go this year, but.
Like where you're gonna film it.
Yeah, but it should be fun.
Well, we'll figure it out.
Mitchell, we should shout out
that there's a new email address for out that there is a new email address
for drops and there's a new email address for roasts.
So from now on, if you wanna send a roast,
you wanna send a drop, send them into these new addresses
or they won't be seen.
They won't be seen.
They won't be seen.
Roasts at birdfuck.com and drops at birdfuck.com.
So remember those email addresses, add them to your contacts if you wanna send in roaster drops. and drops at birdfuck.com.
So remember those email addresses, add them to your contacts if you want to send in
RoasterDrops.
We know that you use birdfuck.com on a daily basis.
Right, where people are already going there to log in,
like let's make it a one stop shop for submitting show content.
It's the everything website.
It's the everything website.
It's all happening on Birdfuck.
They're going there to get Doughboys's merch, link to Doe Boy's merch.
Right.
I mean, they're going there mostly to watch videos of birds fucking, which we haven't
really done a good job with yet.
There's some gifts, yeah.
There are a few gifts.
Right.
We're going to figure out a way to upload birdfuck videos to the where this website costs us
thousands and thousands of dollars.
Do it's natural home.
That's not that much. Rosetbirdfuck.com, drops at birdfuck.com. Do it's natural home. I'll say that much.
Rosetbirdfuck.com drops at birdfuck.com.
Hey, a great guest.
Yes.
He's started off a new year of records.
From twitch.tv slash Libtron.
Libby Watson is back.
Hi Libby.
Hello.
Thanks so much for making time for us.
Thank you for having me.
Libby, we are in the two year,
are you a two years resolutions person?
Is that even a thing across the pond?
I don't know how worldwide that is.
Yeah, is two years resolution a thing across the pond? I don't know how worldwide that is. Yeah, is two years resolution a thing across the pond?
No, we call them Lou years resolutions.
And they're all about piss.
I won't we myself this year.
No, I don't, I never bother.
That makes one of us.
No, I never bother. I ain't pissing this year. There's some guy over there.
Not a single piss from me this year.
I know my accent's horrible, but I was trying.
No.
So, you're just kind of like,
I'm just gonna keep things going.
I'm not really gonna make any sort of like,
this is big line of demarcation.
This new year, this is a new me,
I'm gonna try some different things.
Yeah, I mean, I feel like all the time I'm saying, I'm just gonna keep things going. I'm not really gonna make any sort of like this big line of demarcation. This new year is a new me. I'm gonna try some different things.
Yeah. I mean, I feel like all the time I'm saying, oh, I'm gonna stop eating deltaco.
Right. I'm gonna stop doing stuff that sucks and is bad and then I never stop. So what is
different about January 1st? You know, it makes sense. And I just know I'll get sad when I like
immediately fail. That's the that's That's the pit of despair you fall into
with the New Year's resolution,
is that you're like, you set yourself up
for disappointing yourself.
And it's like, I think it can be a little bit
of self-sabotage, because also there's a tendency
to held yourself to an unrealistic standard.
Like, I mean, you do blank and there's no fucking way
I can maintain this for an entire year
or whatever stretch of time I commit to.
Right, and it's just like,
I'm gonna turn 34 this year.
I must have learned at this point.
Yes, right.
If it's never worked before,
it's not gonna work this time.
Right.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't do it anymore.
Right.
I don't know if I ever really tried to do it ever.
Did you ever, were you ever a resolution man?
I've done it before.
I mean, like I've said on the podcast,
like I gotta lose weight this year But you know whatever it's hard
It's hard to do you want yeah like like I always say like I'm gonna change things this year is like more my mindset
But I feel like going into the new year. That's always your mindset. Yeah, I think it's around a little bit
I've done it before and it just it never really works out
But I will say that I am in the midst of and it'll be almost over by the
never really works out, but I will say that I am in the midst of and it'll be almost over by the end of this episode.
She wants to get up.
Jimmy really wants to get up on the big chair and a half.
Yeah.
All right, Mitch has repositioned the pillows.
Don't pull that shit with Jimmy.
Creative some space.
Jimmy is being very hesitant at his clock and back and forth looking back at mommy,
looking for approval.
This is exactly what my cat does.
It's like, you've done this a thousand times.
Oh, there she goes.
Yes. Wow.
Oh, that's so nice. Wow.
I told you, these pillows are menace.
We gotta get them out of here.
It's ridiculous.
Very cute.
Wow, she loves you.
Yeah, she really likes Mitch.
Yeah, we get along pretty well.
Yeah, that's so nice.
We're kind of, a little more tentative towards Weigur.
That's all right.
That's the sort of thing of like when animals know
there's an earthquake or something.
Yeah.
It's kind of a similar thing with you.
She kinda barks at me like I'm with a T-800.
Yeah.
Well can we get, you mentioned your cat.
Can we get some cat updates?
Yeah, she's doing great.
Oh, T-800.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Oh, my God.
Digby's doing well.
Are you okay after that?
I'm doing great.
You're okay?
I loved it.
Yeah, she's doing great.
She's going to be 10 this year, which is big.
Wow.
That's a big milestone.
Yeah, it's a big birthday.
Well, your number are turning eight in a few months.
Yeah.
Eight years old.
I mean, she's not really showing any signs of age.
She's like a little more reluctant to jump on her shelves,
we have cat shelves for her, which she did love.
And now I don't know if she's doing that thing where she just
forgets that something exists.
And like, even if you put her on it,
she treats it like it's a black hole
and she can't touch it.
So I don't know if it's that
or it's that her little joints are getting a little old.
Oh, sure.
So it'll happen.
But it's just doing great.
The plus side with cats is that they have nice long life.
They do, yeah, true.
That's the plus with cats.
Nine of them.
And we should mention that it is tuxedo junction in this neck of the woods. That's of the woods. Oh got tuxedo cats. Yes, very similar little kitties. Yeah, I'm returning eight
Wow, that's wild cuz I remember when you got that I know
And it wasn't even like the show hadn't just started. No, we had done dough boys for a while
Yeah, and you got there was like it. There's like an arc area of year of on the ad the Episodes we're gonna hear about you adopting wall-e and Irma
I'm not thinking about what you're gonna do for a 10-year anniversary. Oh god man ten years close-up shop
Is that close what year are we on your nine? It'll be next year right here. Yeah, no way
2015 to 25 Jesus Christ. I know that we're just talking New Years
and like turning stuff around, but life sucks.
It's bad.
It's a bad world.
10 years have gone by, that fucking sucks.
Makes sense to be unhappy, it's bad.
Oh, what the fuck?
Yeah, exactly.
Let's talk a little bit about,
a little bit more about Digby because, you know.
People listen to 10 years of this shit.
Some people have.
Yeah.
We've had some listeners that have been with us the whole way.
God bless them.
And people have listened through it twice.
Some people listen to the entire back catalog, yeah, multiple times.
Unhinged.
There's listeners who've been with us the whole way.
I think so.
Man.
Casey.
Oh yeah.
Casey among them.
Casey, what the hell?
We guys had all my friends on when you started.
All right, that's fair.
Rob Lowe, Phil Rosenthal.
I want to ask a little bit more about Diggie because you have a, you know, I remember encountering
your post in the wild back before I knew you personally of
Your cat looking at a pizza and it says the pizza want her
Which is a meme that I feel like has had some its own legacy
But I'm curious like what foods and in particular what people foods does Digby glom on to? Oh, um, I mean she likes meat
Like very specifically. I feel like if I get food from Zanku or Sidewalk Grill, something about that,
she goes crazy for.
And I will sometimes feel her little claws in my back.
Like she'll reach through the dining room table
and just, I mean, through the chairs and be like,
you know, she really fucking wants it.
So those bread as well.
Did I suggest Sidewalk Grill to you
or is that something you found on your own?
I probably heard about, I probably heard you say on the podcast.
Okay, yeah.
Sidewalk Girls 2.
And then Strangely Went myself.
And it's really fucking good.
It's good.
Yeah, two great Mediterranean options in LA.
All right, let's, let's, let's...
Sidewalk Girls seems so much more healthy than Zankoo, even though I'm not sure how,
it probably is.
It's because you can order vegetables there.
Yeah. I think. Right, right, right. You can say, can you can order vegetables there. Yeah, I think right right right
You can say can you put some vegetables in mine, please and they will which is really helpful
You don't actually have to eat them, but you know you just kind of
Tell yourselves like yeah, I got them and then they want as good as the the meats or I eat the meat instead
You know thank you has the adds a zero
I mean, I guess you can get to if you want you can get can get to boolean or something, right? In my head, vegetables is separate from like, you know,
like a lettuce and tomato salad or something.
Sure, yeah, no, you're right.
That's not really vegetables.
Right, right, right, 100%.
That's water.
Yeah, it's more for texture.
Let's talk a little bit, let's pivot a little bit,
because you were just in the mountains, is that correct?
Yes, I came back this morning.
You came back this morning from the mountains.
What was your mountaineering experience?
Well, I went to an Airbnb to try and write.
It was very pretentious.
You know, like, oh, if I'm in the mountains,
somehow ideas will come and let me tell you, no, they don't.
It doesn't matter if you're in the mountains, it doesn't work.
But yeah, no, it's gorgeous.
I'm very mountain-pilled.
You tried to shining yourself.
Yes.
You can't shining yourself. Well, I'm just saying, but that's the whole thing
behind the motivation, is that he's secluding himself
that actually is over the world.
Speaking of which, you and I should go up to the mountains
for like a dough boys retreat.
I think that would be.
Shining your ass so quick.
I think that would be more like the Simpsons episode,
Mountain of Madness.
Oh yes, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I was thinking of riding my corpse down to safety. Oh yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Thinking of riding my corpse down to safety.
I'm truly mad if he's done that.
So maybe not the most productive trip,
but did you have a good time?
I love it up there, yeah.
There's an Airbnb that I've been to a couple times
that I really like,
and it's just far enough away from stuff
that I'm not tempted to go elsewhere.
Right.
But yeah, no, it's really nice.
And I'm very enamored of how tall the mountains are here.
You've got some really big mountains in America.
We do.
We're pretty proud of it.
Yeah, yeah.
Pretty cool.
It's pretty cool.
Yeah.
You know, whatever.
No big deal.
Yeah, yeah.
No big deal.
It doesn't matter how much.
Kindly, it's pretty tall, I guess.
But, you know, in Britain, like the tallest like the tallest mountain I think is I don't know. It's like 3,000 feet or something which is pathetic. I mean that's nothing.
There was like an art installation where someone in the UK chopped off the peak of a mountain and took it to a museum.
And it was like this is the very top of the mountain. The mountain is now like three inches shorter.
And like that was his whole like what I don't know what he was saying. Was it snow basically? No, it was like, this is the very top of the mountain. The mountain is now like three inches shorter. And like that was his whole like, what,
I don't know what you're saying with it.
Was it snow basically?
No, it was like rock.
It was like a little, little nub of the mountain.
Yeah, he cut off the highest point.
He cut the nub off?
Yeah.
He cut the nub off the mountain.
He cut the nub off.
He nubbed it.
He denubbed it?
Yeah, he just, no, it's like a small little thing,
but it was some controversy because everyone was bad.
Because it was really weird and bad to do.
Yeah, he can go around circumcising about the mountain. He's talking about the mountain. It's like a small little thing, but it was some controversy because everyone was
Um, yeah, the the movie I remember I don't know if you've ever seen it But like the the man who went up a hill and or the man who went up a mountain came down a hill or vice versa
The man who went up a hill a hill and came down a mountain
And it was about like a guy who measured a hill in the uk
And then it turned out it was just at the threshold of being a mountain
And he like became some hero or it's the opposite of that and everyone got mad at him because he said this mountain
That was their claim to fame was actually technically a documentary. No, it's like a it's like a movie
It's like some weird twi British like dramedy. It almost doesn't matter which way around it was because you remember him anyways
Yeah, it's true
The way so you're a mountain guy?
I've spent some time in the mountains,
but I don't really like the high altitude.
Makes me lose pop.
Yeah, that is tough.
And it complicates cooking.
Yeah, that's true.
I've never tried to bake an altitude.
Yeah, you can't get delivery, I guess you're right.
What do you mean, Kate?
What is like the...
Baking is different if you do it at altitude.
Oh.
Like you need to...
Different temperatures, different durations. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, the egg science is different if you do it at altitude. Oh. Different temperatures, different durations.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, the egg science is different.
Oh.
Oiling water is different.
Yeah.
That's interesting.
Yeah, no, it's strange.
But no, the altitude thing is crazy.
When you asked me to come on the show, I was hiking a strawberry peak in the San Gabriel's.
That one is like 6,000 feet or something, And I was really fucking feeling it. And that's
not even like, Baldi is 10,000 or something. And I was like, I was like, not exactly dizzy,
but I was like, oh, my brain feels weird. My brain's not working as good. And I did it,
but it was not, maybe I should have turned around at some point, but I didn't die. So
I guess not.
There you go. Yeah. Glad you're intact.
So that so altitude can charge can can mess up your brain.
Nothing to look into.
You think this just my the height of my house caused my brain to go
stairs is maybe go crazy. Interesting.
Let's talk Mexican food a little bit.
I imagine the Mexican food in the UK
is nothing particularly notable.
No, it's shite.
The town I grew up in, I think,
got a Mexican restaurant,
like, I don't know, five years ago or something.
Oh, okay.
Before we move on.
Yeah.
Are we gonna talk about Hungry Jacks?
Yeah, we absolutely are gonna talk about it.
I mean, we could talk about it now.
Hungry Jacks, the Australian Burger King?
I just wanted to make sure.
Yeah, this is, no, you visited the Australian version of I mean, we could talk about it now. I'm hungry for Jacks. I just wanted to make sure. Yeah, this is Australian Burger King.
You visited the Australian version of Burger King,
which is called Hungry Jacks,
which I have erroneously said on the podcast,
is because of some sort of, you know,
like it's to not disgrace the royal family or whatever.
And then people were like, no, you idiot.
It's just because someone else,
yeah, I did, and someone else says,
well, because I was like, oh, it's like,
yeah, there's another Burger King that already exists in Australia so they couldn't get the trademark. What made you think that? I don't know, I did. And someone else says, because I was like, oh it's like, yeah, there's another Burger King
that already exists in Australia
so they can get the trademark.
What made you think that?
I don't know, I was just like,
oh, isn't it part of like the, you know,
the British Empire and like they still like kind of.
Cause we didn't even have a king then,
we had a queen, so who would have been confused?
Oh yeah, but I don't know, historically.
Accidentally swearing allegiance to the Burger King.
I heard Prisandru got like changed things.
He was really pissed off.
How's he doing?
How's doing okay?
I was fine, I saw him last week.
Yeah.
So you went to Hungry Jackson, Australia.
Yeah, it was fucking great.
It was great.
Wow.
Was it better than US Burger King?
Well, that's a really interesting question because I have been of the opinion that BK
is back.
Hell yeah.
I think it's good.
It is very location dependent.
And I think that explains why some people say either they haven't had it in 10 years
or the one that they go to is bad.
So I understand it's also expensive, I feel like, Burger King. Yeah. Like we went like we...
That's what in general is just...
It's gone crazy.
Yeah, yeah, like, like I went with my husband and we got like a normal amount of food and
it was like, alright, that'll be $34 or something. And I'm like, okay, what are you fucking talking
about Burger King? What are you doing? But I, yeah, I thought it was very good. We were in Australia to attend our friend's wedding,
Tom and Demi and Stefan who, you know,
of course, was there as well.
And he was obviously very adamant
that we had to go to Hungry Jacks
because it's a fast food thing.
They watch all those fast food guys, you know,
we don't need to say their names, but they're out there.
And so it was like a very important part of the trip that we all get to go to hungry jacks and yeah, it was it was really good
I had like a chicken sandwich
And it was great. You know what they had on the menu that I didn't get to try was sticky toffee pudding. Whoa. Wow a fast-food version of that
I know that's intriguing. Yeah, I'm really upset that I didn't get it
Was was the chicken sandwich at all distinct from the chicken sandwich that you know
from American Burger King?
No, but they do call it a chicken burger.
I like that.
Anything that's in a burger bun is a burger there.
Isn't that fucked?
That's fun.
That is kind of fucked.
I just don't hate it.
I just don't hate it.
But it's also kind of fun.
Yeah, no, I hate it.
Is it long?
No, it's like the normal chicken sandwich.
It's not the long chicken sandwich,
just regular chicken sandwich.
But it's a chicken burger.
And I grew up with that nomenclature or whatever,
I grew up calling that chicken burger.
And now that I live here, I'm like, that's disgusting.
That doesn't make sense.
It sounds like a burger with a ground chicken patty.
That's what it sounds like to American ears.
Right, which is gnarly.
Yeah, which is gnarly.
The long boy, if it doesn't have the long boy,
you gotta have the long boy. I love that long boy.
You gotta have the long boy. It's fun that it's long. Like
it's did find a plastic bag and one of this is the last one
here. No. Yeah, that's a problem. What kind of plastic bag
again? You told me this. I think it was like a packaging bag.
Yeah, that's not horrible. Yeah. I mean, he was like pulling a
plastic bag. It's not ideal. What if it was like a CBS bag? That
would be worse. That would be worse. If it's a bag from like not from food service. It's not ideal. What if it was like a CVS bag? That would be worse. That would be worse.
If it's a bag from like not from food service.
What's the worst bag to find in your burger?
Like a part of a garbage bag, part of a diaper bag.
Yeah, if it's a diaper bag, it would be disgusting.
If it's a blue plastic bag, it'd be awful.
A dog poo bag would be bad.
Yeah, yeah, that's the one.
Yeah.
I told you this, but on Christmas Eve, I always get a whopper.
Right.
That's such a nice tradition.
Yeah.
Just by myself after shopping, I usually go and get myself a whopper.
Oh, I love that.
The food treat that you get when you're doing stressful Christmas shopping,
that is very clutch.
It's Christmas Eve always, I get it.
I don't tell my mom.
Mm-hmm. She would get mad at me for doing it. Well, Christmas Eve always. I get it. I don't tell my mom. Mm-hmm.
Ah, she would get mad at me for doing it.
Well, surely she's going to hear this.
She's going to have a fucking listen to the podcast.
Though she does creep my Instagram, I found out that.
She does look at my Instagram sometimes.
Does she comment on it to you or do you see,
do you notice her liking it or commenting on your Instagram?
No, she comments on it to me.
So I'm like, oh, she has some sort of lurker account
or something.
Mm.
That's OK.
I think it's OK for me to look.
No, it's not.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah, it's fine if she looks at it.
It's nothing.
Does she judge what you're doing on Instagram?
I mean, probably, yes.
I just don't like her look.
What are you posting on there?
Because I haven't been on Instagram for a while.
What are you posting on there?
I usually like muscle pics.
What? Sounds good.
It sounds body positive.
She's critical.
I just don't like going to look at my stuff.
I don't like her snooping around.
I know the feeling.
My mom would sometimes like send me tweets of mine.
I'm like, no, that's not.
It's not for you.
I know it's public, but it's not, you know.
Even like having a cool mom,
it's still just like, oh no, I can't say,
I did something embarrassing or whatever.
Yes, yeah, yeah, I don't like it.
I don't like it when she listens to the podcast.
I don't think she does too often.
Parents sometimes listen to podcasts.
They certainly do, they text you and I about it.
What's up, Mr. Ms. Wager, how you doing?
You have a group chat?
We do kinda.
A semi-informal group chat.
That's very helpful.
I mean, I have it with his parents without him.
Yeah.
That's the one that's more active.
That's the one that's more active.
The next episode of The New York Times.
The next episode of The New York Times.
Let's talk about Del Taco a little bit.
This is the chain we're reviewing this week,
reviewing it for the third time.
We last reviewed it in 2019 with Chef Kevin and You Song.
Remember when they launched their pod?
That was the last time we visited Del Taco,
feels so long ago.
Anyway, at that particular review,
it was kicked out of the Golden Plate Club
because of Mitch.
Mitch gave it three and a half forks.
So it's on the outside looking in,
will it get back today?
We're gonna find out.
Del Taco was founded in 1964 in Yermo, California.
I gave it three and a half forks.
You gave it three and a half forks.
I was probably mad at you, it sounds like.
It doesn't sound like you.
It was founded in 1964 in Yermo, California
as Casa Del Taco.
They Facebooked it, they Sean Parkered it
and they dropped the Casa.
It's just Del Taco now,
which doesn't make any sense as a standalone phrase.
I like Casa Del Taco.
I like Casa Del Taco better, yeah.
I was gonna, sorry, I was gonna ask you
if you've been to that location,
because it's on the way to Vegas.
Yeah, I've been to the one in,
I've been to one of the original ones.
It's got like a plaque, and it's got like better service,
and I think it's in Barstow.
Yeah.
But yeah, I don't know if that's the same one as the Yurmo original.
That might be the last freestanding original Del Taco.
Right.
Because the reason I remember is that when I was going out to Vegas to write about TwitchCon,
I had it saved on the map.
I was like, you know, is there anything I can do between LA and Vegas?
Turns out the answer is not really. But I'd saved it on my map and then later Lou and I were in the car, my husband and I can do between LA and Vegas? Turns out the answer is not really.
But I'd saved it on my map and then later,
Lou and I were in the car, my husband and I were in the car,
and like I was, I don't know, typing in something.
You know how when you save locations on Google Maps,
it kind of serves you those first?
So I was like typing in something on Google Maps
and it said the original Del Taco saved.
And he was like, why do you have the original Del Taco
saved in your Google Maps?
But yeah, I didn't get to stop stop so maybe I'll make the trip out
No, we've been to that one
There are a couple big restaurants on the road to isn't there like a big Greek?
There's a mad Greek mad Greek is great. I'd Greek fun. Okay. Yeah, and then there's also road. What's that?
Does it's road?
I was gonna do but I decided just to is it a ghost town is
Is it a road? Yeah, it's a landmark. That was something I was going to do, but I decided just to go.
Is it a ghost town?
Yeah.
Well, yes.
So there is a ghost town.
I think Calico Ghost Town is on the way out there, but that one I understand is kind
of like a touristy ghost town.
Yeah, I've been to that one with the Boy Scouts.
Yeah.
See, if you're going with the Boy Scouts, it's not a real ghost town to me.
We went to Calico Ghost Town with the Boy Scouts.
The thing I remember, because it's like very touristy and there's an ice cream partler
thing.
And it was the first time I ever, like as a boy,
saw a like man pick up on a woman.
And like the woman was scooping ice cream
and the man was like,
can I get some of these flavors?
And she's like, sure, what do you want?
And he goes, I like to taste your flavors.
Oh!
What a start.
Yeah.
I was like, that's real. It made me uncomfortable at the time. And then looking back, I was like, that's real.
And maybe uncomfortable at the time.
And then looking back, I was like, that was a vile thing
to say to a stranger.
The more you unpack it, the worse it is.
Yeah.
And I'm sorry to be so blue, but it's sort of like he's
saying, I want to taste the various flavors of your pussy.
You know?
It's like, I want to pick out the tasting
notes of your pussy.
Jesus.
She's right.
It's there.
Yeah, all right. I'm really like, right. Black pepper. What a weirdo.
Yeah. Anyway, it is very touristy. It's not particularly scary or ghosty. Are they married
now? Yeah, they are. Yeah. What a happy ending. And then we went, so like, the other tourist designation,
tourist destination I think there is the
world's tallest thermometer, which is in,
what is that town, Baker, California?
Yes.
Yeah, but Natalie and actually we went to-
It feels like you could pull that off
with like a four foot thermometer.
It's not that impressive.
It's like four stories tall.
It kind of looks like shit.
And it also is like LED, where it's just like,
well this doesn't even count.
It's got to like fill up with mercury
to be like a thermometer.
Yeah, we mean mercury.
It's gonna be really dangerous.
Yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah.
So yeah, but the Mad Greek is good.
And that actually when Nellie and I got married,
we eloped in Vegas and then we hit up the Mad Greek
on the way home, which was nice.
I wish I had stopped there, but like in my head,
I was like, oh, I'll just get to Vegas
and I'll eat there.
Terrible decision.
And also by the time I got there,
I needed to piss so badly,
I have never needed to piss that much in my life.
And I was like, it was-
And you made the New Year's resolution.
So you-
I really couldn't.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That had to happen, yeah.
No, and it's like, I had to go to TwitchCon
to pick up my badge.
It was a fucking nightmare.
The Vegas Convention Center is awful.
It was traffic everywhere.
100%.
And just like, twitch people crawling all over the place.
And then I, you know, I decided I can't park.
I'm going to have to go to my hotel.
And I was like sitting in the car doing this.
And I was saying, I can't believe I'm telling the story.
I was saying out loud to myself in the car,
like completely alone, I'm not going to piss myself.
I'm not going to piss myself.
I'm not going to piss myself.
You know what it worked?
I didn't piss myself.
Wow, good for you. Yeah. I'm not gonna piss myself. I'm not gonna piss myself. You know what it worked, I didn't piss myself. Wow, good for you.
Yeah.
Those scenarios are always very tough.
The worst.
It's always the other one for me, not piss.
But I'm afraid I'm gonna come myself.
I'm not gonna juice myself.
I'm not gonna juice myself.
I do get, I come perilously close to both.
It depends on the scenario.
I am very hydrated.
No, pissing and shitting.
I'm like very hydrated and that puts myself in situations
where like, oh man, I should not have drank,
I had that whole bottle of water.
And it's an hour later and I still haven't found a toilet.
But yeah, the other one is worse.
They're both bad.
Do you sometimes have like,
I gotta go to the bathroom now, right?
Like I do have that all the time.
Yeah, 100% of course.
Okay, Harry.
Yeah, I think that's human.
The last time we went to Vegas,
I think this is the last time I went in just,
in general, was, no, I think I maybe won any time or two,
but it was with you.
Okay.
We were in a big van
That's right. You got you got cars. I got very motion sick in the party van
Yeah, and then it broke down in the desert. That's right
And we got and were you who which car do you because some cops took some of us?
Yeah, I don't remember which cops picked us up on the road
It was a whole little experience was a nightmare and the cop was driving like 120 miles per hour
Yeah, this is for bachelor party easy. Yeah, right. 120 miles per hour. Yeah, people drive crazy on that.
Right, what is it, the 15 or whatever?
People drive crazy on that road.
And then you flew back early, I believe?
I did, because I was like, I can't take the party bus back.
This is for a bachelor party weekend.
And I was like, I can't take,
it's the only time I've ever done anything like that.
I was like, I can't take this party bus back.
I'm gonna puke, I'm gonna puke my fucking guts out.
I get so dizzy on the highway.
Was that during Doe Boys?
It maybe was, who knows?
No, this was happened during Doe Boys
because we went to Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville.
Oh my God, we did.
We did a side mission there and then we also met-
So we've told this entire-
No, I remember that story from the podcast.
Jesus Christ.
Every story we've told has been told previously.
Nick told the same story and it wasn't as good this time.
I'm gonna start listening to the popcorn.
Because they're distracted by Jimmy.
Jimmy makes them tell our stories.
Aww.
You'll sleep well in the pound.
Alright.
So the, yeah, we went to Margaritaville.
That was the other thing we did there.
And then we also met a Peewee Herman and we met a Mario
because they just have costume performers
that are like Hollywood Boulevard.
Those guys are great.
What is your opinion on Vegas?
It's kinda awful.
It's kinda, yeah.
It's kinda awful, but I do have fun.
I mean, I like all the food.
I don't really care all that much for gambling,
but it is kind of fun to just sort of like sit at a table or sit at a machine
Especially we got like a part news into it and just like damn like no know you're losing money and just sort of spend money
That way it's kind of fun
But yeah, I don't know I overall like Vegas. It's it should not exist. Yeah, like it's awful. It's an awful place
I do like those are places you can still smoke inside. I know, I like things like that.
My heart a little bit.
I like that you can be in a pig and shit a little bit.
And I like that it's also like,
it feels a little bit like it's even,
and it's hard to say, but it's like,
everyone's kind of in the same sort of pool it feels like.
You're like combing with a lot of people.
Exactly, you're combing with a lot of people
you wouldn't otherwise.
So I like that aspect of it.
I like the pools.
I'm a big, big, big guy.
I probably like it less than you.
I'm sure you do.
I don't like Vegas.
Interesting, because I would have thought it,
because you're kind of a party guy.
I'm a party guy, it's true.
But also at the same time, I am not a party guy.
I mean, it's the two sides of me.
I like to party, but then like crowds, I don't like,
you know what I mean?
I don't like a big crowd.
It's very hot.
It's super hot.
I don't like the heat.
I don't like a pool party.
Yeah, I love pools. I don't like that kind of party guy. I'm a big guy big cool guy, but you don't like a pool party. I don't like a pool party
But you don't have to go to a pool party like they're chill pools. Yeah, it's like filled with piss
They're just drinking and pissing in the pool filled with piss. Yeah
Okay, so right now going under the water canning balling into the fucking-
Have you ever been to one of those parties before? I have.
No, I wouldn't go. I've been to a couple of those.
Our buddy, Mike Carlson from Podcast The Ride, loves the Vegas pool party.
It's insane.
He loves the douchey pool party.
Sounds like hell to me. True, true hell.
It really does. It sounds miserable, but you know, he's an advocate for it.
Yeah. Carlson's tall. Maybe that's how it gets away with it.
I feel like you would get bullied.
You're tall.
I know, but I'm big, too.
I don't have my shirt off in the pool party.
This goes back ever since I've been alive.
Right.
I mean, I feel the same sort of discomfort,
but I will also say in Vegas, it's like absolutely
every body type is just like
people is represented so it's nothing you worry about. Okay so we were in we were
we went to Del Taco we're going for the third time I should shout out Dick
Noggles who splintered off of Del Taco to open Noggles in 1970 and then Noggles
was reincorporated back in the Del Taco by 1988. Is that someone in your discord?
There's no one with a user named Dick Noggles.
Feel free to claim it, because that's a good one.
There for the taking.
Yeah, no, Dick Noggles was one of the partners
in the original Del Taco franchise.
Should I take it now before someone gets it?
Yeah, you should.
You should register Dick Noggles with them as well.
Yeah.
Yeah, and then he named the chain after himself,
just his Glen Bell named Taco Bell after himself,
named it Nogles, and then Nogles was basically
just doing Del Taco's thing,
but now all former Nogles are now Del Taco's.
So part of the reason we're going to Del Taco,
we're doing this revisit,
is right now they're doing a Birria promotion.
And it's one of those things I would say where
fast food restaurants are always a little bit behind food trends
But this is not as much of a gulf as it generally is like there are also like chains that have like
J are just now coming out with Sriracha or like Nashville hot
It's like this is this this shit was so five years ago to ten years ago
And you're just now introducing your menu items is I use bone goggles
No, it's N-A-U-G-L-E-S.
Oh, God.
That sucks.
I thought it was gonna be N-O-G-G-L-E-S.
No, it's not like goggles with an N.
That's what I was thinking.
Well, guess what?
Mine's Nick, mine's, wait, it's Dick Nogles, right?
Dick Nogles.
I'm gonna be Dick Nogles.
Why is it breaking my brain?
It's hard to say.
Dick Nogles.
Nick Nogles?
I'm gonna be Dick Nogles. Dick Nogles. Spe hard to say. Dick Nogles. Nick Dogles?
I'm going to be Dick Nogles.
Dick Nogles.
Spell that way.
Dick Nogles.
You got to spell it right.
It's just going to be confusing.
I'm going to be Dick Nogles.
N-O-G-G-L-E-S.
It's fun.
See, with my accent, I would pronounce those two things slightly differently because
not like the way I thought it was with Nogles, but then the way you say it would be like
Norgles to me.
Oh, Norgles.
Like Dick Norgles. That's a different would be like Norgals to me. Oh, Norgals. Like Dick Norgals.
That's a different guy.
Dick Norgals.
Dick Norgals could, I feel like could have some success.
Dick Norgals, I feel like.
Dick Norgals could be a senator.
Dick Norgals has to have a fast food restaurant.
Resigns in disgrace, I'm sure, yeah.
Okay, so we're going. It's an election year this year, huh? That's true, Mitch'm sure, yeah. Yeah. Okay, so we're going-
It's an election year this year, huh?
That's true, Mitch.
Let's talk about that.
Or this will be the third-
I can't wait for you to declare
Biden winning the presidency.
Oh, God.
I'm gonna happen again.
I'm looking forward to which state you invent
when you're listening.
The electoral college.
Old Carlsberg.
Yeah.
This is your third presidential election.
This will be, yeah, because we were around in 2016, 2020,
and this will be 2020, 24, yeah.
That's crazy.
There's no wow.
For the first time on my vote, Democrat this year.
You've been thinking about it.
This will be my first year voting.
Wow, congrats.
How exciting, did you vote any primers yet?
No, no, because I only became a citizen last year.
Oh wow.
Yeah, this would be the first one.
Your first vote, you gotta vote for the big man.
I think I'll write in something fun.
Maybe I'll write in Dick Nogles.
There you go.
Nogles wins it. This is Yeah. Nogles wins it.
This is the guy from our Discord wins, fuckin'.
That is like a fucking slouching Doe Boyz fan
would end up being president by accident.
So we went to, I went twice.
I went once to get the B-area promotion.
And then we also had a lunch just before recording. I went twice. I went once to get the B-area promotion.
And then we also had a lunch just before recording. And I did, that is an exercise I ordered solely
from the vegetarian vegan menu.
So I had two very different experiences.
Ordering, eating Del Taco,
we talked about this while we were eating.
People give Taco Bell the rumblies.
The big joke is like,
Taco Bell is gonna make you shit your pants or whatever. Del Taco does give me the rumblies, the big joke is like, Taco Bell's gonna make you shit your pants or whatever.
Right.
Del Taco does give me the rumblies.
I love it.
There's nothing wrong with it,
but I do, it does give me the rumblies.
Del Taco is always a case of the rumblies for a wags.
Yeah, I like it,
but I know what it's going to do to my body.
Yeah, and it's just the thing you gotta deal with
when you go there.
It's usually for me is the next day. But like I'm like, and I don't even get it.
Keep us posted.
I will let I'll give everyone an update tomorrow.
I'll put it post from at Dick Noggles.
But it is it is a thing where I don't really even understand it because it seems
like the food it feels like more fresh ingredients than taco.
I love taco bell.
I mean, it's all kind of-
I guess there's lettuce at taco,
but we've talked about this before.
I know there's lettuce at fucking Del Taco,
but it is, I don't know.
I don't know if it's appreciably fresher than Taco Bell.
I mean, they talk a lot about like,
hey, we slow cook the beans
and we hand shred our cheese in house,
but like it's still like stuff they're getting at, you know, Cisco product that they're getting out of a bag or out of a can, you know.
I think what it is is that the thing with Taco Bell is the stuff that they made up,
you know, like the Crunchwrap Supreme in my head is like a, is formed from a block,
you know, like it is just like 3D printed. Yeah. It's like not real food and it's delicious,
but it's not real food.
Whereas with Del Taco, it feels more like,
oh, this is a fast food taco place.
You know?
Like the fast food versions of real things.
Whereas Taco Bell is like,
you're gonna get the fucking like cheesy nacho crunch,
chalupa, supreme or whatever.
And it's like a made up thing.
This is like a new food.
And yeah, there isn't really the same phenomenon
at Del Taco,
which yes, it has more conventional items and also has burgers and fries, which we'll talk about and shakes.
So the the birria promotion, they have birria tacos.
They have a which are corn tortillas with beef birria topped with diced onions and chopped cilantro and
served with lime wedges and a side of consomme.
They also have a beef birria quesadilla,
which comes with the consomme dip.
And that one also has green sauce in addition to the cheese
and the beef birria inside of flour tortilla.
And they also have a beef birria ramen,
which is just like kind of a,
it is just the consomme broth with some beef inside of it
and ramen noodles,
like instant ramen noodles they drop in and let sit for five minutes.
What do we, I mean first off, I'm a big birria fan.
Like I love like an authentic version of it that you'll get from like a truck or like,
you know, a place where it's like a house specialty.
Like I love it.
I love it with goat, but I will take it with beef.
I think it. I love it with goat, but I will take it with beef. I think it's a it's delightful
I've mentioned Birria area Zaragoza, which is where we're Natalie took me in Chicago
a few times a fantastic birria
You know some of my favorite meals right near there
We're right near one of their new locations when we did our last show in Chicago. So so I like the food I love
There's one of those nightmare
Scenario, but we didn't have time to go there. We didn't have time to go So I like, this is a food I love. This is one of those nightmare scenarios.
Well, we didn't have time to go there.
We didn't have time to go.
Yeah, we got like salads to go from a bar.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
And then we went to a bar and got shit-faced and drank malored.
Yeah.
This is horrible.
No, you didn't do it right, did you?
No.
We can't do it right.
When you tour it just isn't, I don't know.
It's just bad.
It's just as bad.
A work trip is bad.
It is.
That's what happened to me in Vegas.
I couldn't do any of the Vegas shit
because I was like, I had to fucking write an article
and also TwitchCon was happening.
And so it was like, it was just a fucking nightmare.
I didn't get, everyone was like,
oh, you'll love the food in Vegas.
And I ended up eating at Halal guys.
My lunch was from 7-Eleven.
Where else did I even eat?
I can't even remember.
Oh, TGI Fridays in the hotel.
Wow. Yeah.
It's a bit of a monkey's paw for me
because as a boy, if you're like,
you're gonna tour, you're gonna do comedy tours.
But like, your comedy partner has like
a bedtime curfew of 8.30.
Yeah.
So that's kind of what it's like for me on tour.
You've usually got someone else you can hang out with.
Yeah, that's true.
You got a buddy.
Yeah, yeah.
A guest we're traveling with, Emma's with us usually.
Got some company.
I like to stay out late.
It's true, Emma and I have,
we shut down the Tam in Boston.
Yep.
Wow.
Which is, you should never do.
We also shut down Sunbar in Atlanta doing pickle bag shots,
but I don't remember who was there, what the bar was.
Well, I probably left because his shirt had caught on fire, I believe.
That was the night Wiger's shirt caught on fire, actually.
That's right, my shirt sleeve, another story we told on the podcast,
my shirt sleeve caught on fire from a candle in a bar,
and I didn't realize it for several seconds.
Then you went home?
Yeah, went home.
I mean, I hung out for a little.
You told your mom to pick you up.
Yeah.
We were with Deb and Alex Verney, right?
That's right.
Yeah, and I realized my shirt was on fire
because Alex Verney just points and goes, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha any Birria thoughts? Have you had much Birria Libby? Yes, I have. And in general, I love any kind of shredded meat based dish is really, really good.
Yes. It's funny for me with with Birria, because my experience with I had goat,
birria, tacos at, at Cactus was the first time I had them. I believe they were goat.
I'm not sure if they were. I think they were. This is also a decade ago, plus maybe.
This is also a decade ago, plus maybe.
My thought is that, you know, like we see capitalism,
you know, get its claws in and, you know,
any sort of food is on the table. You know what I mean?
Like they're gonna make a fast food version of every food.
Beauty of feels like a weird thing where I'm like,
this doesn't feel like they should do this.
I know exactly what you mean. I don't know why it feels that way, but it's one of weird thing where I'm like, this doesn't feel like they should do this. I know exactly what you mean.
I don't know why it feels that way,
but it's one of the things where I'm like,
I don't know if this should be fast,
the fast food version of this should exist.
It is that thing of like white America, corporate America,
taking something that has been eaten by Mexican people
for a long, long time saying,
hey, we can make this, we can do this,
we can make it Delft-Proified.
And look, of course, yeah.
I love white corporate America.
Yeah.
They've come up with some of my favorite things,
these wild ideas.
Gushers, that's white corporate America.
That's crazy, it's wild.
Well, actually they've been eating Gushes
in Mexico for centuries, but.
That's true.
I would believe it, I would believe it if it was true.
Um, I, I, I do feel like this feels like a thing that feel, I don't know why it feels.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Yeah.
It does feel, it just feels off for whatever reason.
Is that, is that sense of like, oh, we just discovered this, like, hey, did you guys just
know about Berea?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it's, it's catalyzing on, on also like American food culture is like kind of like that's a new thing.
That's like like oh check out this spot and and because it's into the consciousness that way
That's why they were like one even mainstreamify it. I mean it's always gonna
That's always gonna happen with food or whatever with any sort of thing
But it is I guess it's maybe weird to me because it's like there's so much so many like
Birria places where you can like in LA, you know what I mean?
I'm certainly in LA.
Street tacos too.
But the street that's another thing too is like
when Del Taco tries to do street tacos, I'm like,
I don't want your fucking street tacos.
Give me the Del Taco.
That's why I won.
100%.
And that's the issue with these is that these Birria street tacos,
the issue is the corn tortillas are so bad.
Like these are like, these are these gummy preservative
laden, like out of a plastic bag tortillas
that have been sitting in a walk-in fridge.
And they just have, they just have a horrible texture to them.
And when I was eating these,
I just like ended up taking the meat out of the tortillas.
Like they weren't even like fun to eat as tacos.
I also think the meat itself is just like,
need some more seasoning.
Like it's oddly plain.
The consomme goes along, it goes a long way,
but it's just like not what I would expect
for something that to me is always
like a very richly seasoned dish.
The consomme is decent, but it is a funny thing
with the consomme where I'm like,
this is just proving how little this should be at Del Taco. It's like this packaging with the side of consomme. I'm like, this is just proving how little this should be at Del Taco.
It's like this packaging with the side of Consume.
I'm like, this sucks for people making it inside.
This isn't what you do.
It feels weird.
I'm not saying that there should, I can't gate keep fucking Birria.
You know what I mean?
Like, sure, it can be in fast food.
I don't care.
But there is that weird, there is also that just that weird feeling.
Well, no, it's-
It feels different eating it here.
Yes, exactly.
Like you're in the lip and LA
and you have all these options or whatever.
Yeah, it doesn't feel right.
Right, yeah.
It doesn't, for whatever reason.
Well, it's also, I mean, it's not just like
whatever if we wanna argue the ethics of it.
I think it's just more like an execution thing.
Sure.
Just like it's just like not a dish
they can execute with any sort of competency at scale
on a fast food chain.
And everything ends up feeling very processed,
which is how it is.
The quesadilla I thought was better,
but because it was loaded up with cheese and green sauce.
I mean, that's what did a lot of the work there.
But I did like dipping that quesadilla in the consomme.
I thought that was a lot of fun.
Yeah. I mean, to me, it was kind of just all the,
I think it's that sort of thing of like
the birria is just fine, like you were saying.
So I'm like, I'm eating this just fine meat.
And in Del Taco, like their ground beef
and their chicken is decent.
So why, I wouldn't get the birria over those two ever again.
Yes. And then they also have the birria over those two ever again. Yes.
And then they also have the birria ramen,
which is like their big, okay, so this is a thing you said.
And I think this is a good point.
It feels like they're leaning into the jack-in-the-box lane.
Yes.
Like it's like, which is kind of like,
oh, it's a little bit of a,
hey, we're this fusion sort of,
but also a kind of stoner food.
It's like, oh, what if we combined Birrian
ramen, you know, it's like they're kind of appealing to that sort of sector of the market.
Yes. And I have to, he'll get mad at me if I don't say that I was Lewis's observation.
Good observation, Lewis. Well done, babe. Good observation, Lewis.
Yeah, 100%. And I feel like this one doesn't need to exist. I was tasting this and I had,
I mean, Natalie were set, we're having some of this.
And I said that to me this tastes like
spaghetti-os with ramen noodles.
Oh.
And that was kind of the flavor profile I got for it,
got from it.
I mean, another thing where like the broth was the best part.
I took the chunks of meat out,
but I had felt no need to finish the ramen noodles.
Yeah.
I've talked about this, I think on here too, but when I was in New Orleans,
just filming Twisted Metal.
That's right.
I went to the Yakimane lady, and it's like a, that's like a New Orleans,
like kind of like mixed ramen sort of, sort of deal.
And it was fantastic if you're ever down in the, in the Bayou, Yikes.
Oh, down in the Bayou.
Maybe for season two, we'll get you down in the Bayou. Yeah, but it's just a mischief down there in the Bayou, Yikes. Oh, down into Bayou. Maybe if we're season two, we'll get you down into Bayou.
Get up on some mischief down there in the Bayou.
Bayou, Muff.
Sometimes you go down to the ramen shop
and you ask yourself,
you ask for a bowl for yourself.
And who's handing you that bowl of ramen,
but a Gator claw.
Gator.
Hey, he's like. Gator, you running a ramen shop out here now? Well, we do things a little different down here in the bayou.
You know that ramen ain't free, it is.
You end up sucking off the gator.
Oh, your green gator cum.
Gators have green come.
That comes to color your skin.
Yeah, no.
That's how it works.
Yeah, but you were down there in the bayou.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, sorry, I forgot my whole point is.
And I also, it just reminded me that I thought
of a Secret of the Ooze parody song.
What is it?
I forgot it now, I'm so mad.
Do you remember what the,
is Casey brought up Secret of the Ooze and that?
Did it have Ooze in it?
It had Ooze in it, hold on, I can maybe think of it
before the end of the episode, I'll try to think on it.
Ooze baby, do you know what that's worth?
That's pretty good.
I mean, that's just as good.
It was one of those things where I was like,
I should write this down.
Yeah.
But you know, a lot of the stuff I write down is, you know.
Dewey Lewis and the ooze.
I mean, it's not a parody of a song,
but that could be like the band.
Fuck, what was it?
Something. Was it a song from the era? It was, it was, a parody of a song, but that could be like the band. Fuck, what was it? Something.
Was it a song from the era?
It was, no, no, no.
It was a contemporary song.
I'm gonna figure out what the song was.
I'm gonna, you know what?
Did you mention the turtles?
I mean, I was working the turtles.
This is the shower.
I was a shower thought.
Uh-huh, got it.
Uh, I'm gonna go back to-
Like, you actually taken a shower.
Yeah, I was taking a-
Not standing over the drain.
I was just doing what you did.
That's why I thought of the ooze.
Ooze. Ooze. Ooze. Ooze. I'll think of it. It's something, I'll think of it. I'll think of it.
Dick Nogles. Nogles ooze. Nogles ooze. What was the ooze sign? Nuggets ooze. It was good, whatever it was.
But the Accomane lighted, it just did remind me of that again too where I'm like, oh,
this feels like more street food that Del Taco shouldn't be serving.
Yeah, 100%.
I mean, did you, with any other thoughts on that?
Like I just felt like it felt completely asynchronous.
Street food is just such a weird thing for like a fast food place to try to appropriate
in some way,
weird way. It's also more expensive than the real thing. That's my big issue. You go to a
cart or a truck, it's going to be cheaper than the version you're getting in El Taco.
But also, why are you trying to sell street food? Street food is for street vendors and that's how
they make their money. It doesn't make any sense. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
I was pretty disappointed with the Birria overall.
Our lunch that we got today,
and please, if you have any other menu items weigh in as well,
I'm just gonna speed through mine.
I got the, so again, they've abandoned their entire
Beyond line, so it's gotten pretty paltry.
Yeah, they used to have the Beyond tacos there,
which was, to me, was one of the better
vegetarian menu items.
They were good, they had a good texture to them,
but those are gone, The Beyond Meat is all gone
So what they have now is an eight layer veggie burrito still a good good item and the bean and cheese burrito
Which I usually get with green sauce, but I got it with zesty red sauce today to change things up
I also got the crunched Tata toast Tata. I'll read the description here the original crunch Tata a
Thick wavy crunchy corn shell layered with slow cooked beans made from scratch signature teeny tangy salsa cassera
Chris shredded lettuce and fresh house-grated cheddar cheese
So they're making a big deal about this which is just a flat corn tortilla shell
With with beans on it and then queso loaded fries, which are crinkle-cut fries queso blanco cheddar cheese diced tomatoes sour cream and sliced
halibut news those fries were pretty fun
The fries are good.
I mean, deltacal fries are good.
They're good because they get the crinkle cut fries.
And if they're going to travel at all,
like it's good to, I think, get some goop on them
because then the lack of crispness becomes less of a factor.
They're more just sopping up all that goo.
It might have been night moves.
I think it was night moves.
When it was night ooze.
I think it was something with ooze.
That's good. Or green ooze. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I think it should just moves. I think it was night moves. When it was night ooze. I think it was something with ooze. That's good.
Or green ooze.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I think it should just be night ooze.
Like if you change it to green ooze, it gets, you know.
You don't want to change too many elements in a parody.
Yeah.
That's why he needs to be in a room, you know.
I agree.
It's kind of inside.
I agree.
And it was, what do they say?
It was turtle time? And it was turtle time, you know what I'm saying? what do they say? It was turtle time?
And it was turtle time, you know what I'm saying?
Well they say turtle power, I guess they say turtle time.
Fuck.
It's turtle time.
It's turtle time.
I think it was night ooze.
I'm gonna keep thinking on it though.
I'm mad at myself to not write it down.
You could do closing time with turtle time.
That's pretty good.
It's turtle time.
Yeah, yeah. with turtle time. That's pretty good. It's turtle time.
So the, the, the, because what a price are pretty fun.
Christa's Just Tata is like whatever.
I kind of, I sometimes get it as like just a 99 cent option.
It's just, you know, it kind of fills out your order.
You get a little bit of protein and dietary fiber.
It's fine.
I do like both of those burritos.
And in fact, the bean and cheese burritos,
the staple of my Del Taco order,
I almost always get one. I think it's a really great, like of those burritos. And in fact, the bean and cheese burrito is a staple of my Del Taco order. I almost always get one.
I think it's a really great, like just basic burrito.
And to me, that is one where I clearly
prefer this version to Taco Bell's equivalent.
I think it's just a better bean and cheese burrito.
Just straight up.
I was-
A layer and seven layer and Taco Bell, whatever.
So that's kind of a push.
I was trying to do some bebop and rock steady thing
for the song.
I couldn't get there, but I was trying.
I was trying to put bebop and rock steady in there.
What about the, isn't there a, there's a,
isn't there a Motley Cruse song,
a like unsteady bop or something like that?
Oh, I meant into closing time.
I was trying to, I was just trying to sing the song.
They could say rock, steady bop.
Jesus Christ.
You know what, he shouldn't be in a row.
Sucks. Rock steady bop is pretty good. Rock steady bop is pretty good. Oh Jesus Christ. You know what? He shouldn't be in a relationship. It sucks.
Rocksteady bop is pretty good.
Rocksteady bop is pretty good.
Tokurazar I guess are kind of like the more underground, you know, that's a deeper reference.
But now, you know, the Ninja Turtles movie was pretty fun.
The one that came off this year.
Mutemam? I really enjoyed Mutemam.
That's my top 10 of the year. I liked Mutemam.
And your top 10? Okay. I like it. I think maybe you may have is in my top 10 good year for animated
I'm sure you get some some great animation that came out this year. I thought you may have was it was a blast
Yeah, I was very sad to eat all of the furious stuff today and your fries were helpful
I ordered a del taco it didn't come that's the, so this is the other thing of the Del Taco experience.
And Casey, you can recap your misadventures over there.
Yes.
Every time you get Del Taco, something is going to be wrong.
That's just the Del Taco experience.
They never get your order right.
God bless them, people working there, you know.
I'm sure they have their, there's the systemic issues
with the chain that lead to this.
I'm sure a lot of these locations are understaffed,
but it's, I just expect my order to be a little bit wrong
every time.
If you go to the Del Taco on Sunset Boulevard at,
on Friday or Saturday night, after 10 PM, after 11 PM,
it is the most chaotic fucking.
You can wait so long.
It's a little apocalyptic.
I've waited in line there for an hour, just in my car.
It's insane. Yeah.
It is truly that is the most chaotic drive-through maybe
possibly in the United States.
It's bad.
It's really bad.
It's rough stuff.
And also, I remember last time I was there,
and they opened up like there's a big, long storage unit
at the back of it, you know what I'm talking about?
Like a big metal storage unit. Yeah, I know what I'm talking about? Like a big metal storage unit.
Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
Yeah.
Similar to what I got locked in when I played football.
And I was there waiting like an hour in line and then a lady was fighting with a guy and
she was like pulling bags of sauce out of there.
Like full bags, clear trash bags full of sauce from-
Not packets, like just loose sauce.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I'm sure it was Seattle.
Do you think it was ooze?
It may have been, it might have been night ooze.
It could have been night ooze.
Wow.
But it was, it was, it was crazy.
I mean, it was just, it's always chaotic there.
And I do think people are huge assholes to the employees.
Like I know what they are.
For sure.
Well, cause there are lines that get unwieldy,
but there's a difference versus a place like,
like an in distress Del Taco location
that has like no sense of how to manage that
versus like a raising canes or an in and out burger
or Chick-fil-A that has a little bit more of a process
set up to deal with the volume.
It's essentially a military operation,
at any in and out in Southern California.
100% It's like traffic cops. Yeah any in and out in Southern California. 100%.
Looks like traffic cops.
Yeah, no, they know what they're doing.
So, Casey, you were telling us, while we were eating,
why you have sworn off Del Taco?
Yeah, Del Taco used to be in the rotation for me
as a fast food stop, but then they screwed up my order
a handful of times.
Last time I went, this was probably like two years ago.
I haven't had Del Taco in two years.
Wow. Wow.
But so I was like, I'll order on the app.
I'll go pick it up.
They can't screw it up, it's in the app.
Yeah.
I go, it's just like eight o'clock at night,
I go into the Del Taco, go through the drive through.
The guy just says, we're closed.
And I'm like, I ordered on the app,
I'm here to pick up my food.
He's like, all right, fine.
And they're like, I ordered on the app, I'm here to pick up my food, he's like, all right, fine. And they're like, I go around,
I'm sitting at the window for five minutes,
he comes out, gives me a bag, I drive away,
I look in the bag, nothing, nothing was right.
He just like made whatever he wanted,
is like here, here, I like,
and then since then I have not been back.
I get it, that's good. Understandably.
And also not surprising as far as Delta.
I get it from both sides,
because obviously why would Casey go back there
after that experience?
Also that guy was probably working by himself.
And it's just like, whatever,
I think it's a mismanaged,
it's a mismanaged chain,
it's a personal favorite of mine,
but I feel like it's a, it's-
It's weird because it feels like there are,
like I don't feel like it's a place that's like in danger of going on.
It's not, but it just makes weird decisions.
Like they, they do weird marginal things.
Like they got, they removed the spicy jack quesadilla, which a lot of people like.
Logs, this is what I was going to get into.
It's insane.
They got rid of it.
And it's like, okay, well, yeah, I kind of get from the, from a, you know, a nickel and
dimes perspective that there isn't spicy jack cheese elsewhere on their menu.
So they're like, okay, that's one place
we could have a little bit of savings.
But if you're gonna do that,
then maybe you don't also need to be doing
a cookie butter shake, which I just saw them doing.
Like why are you fucking doing a cookie butter shake for?
You're Del Taco.
Insane. Leave me alone.
Yeah, leave me alone, leave us alone.
They gotta bring back that spicy jack case. It's, didn't they get rid of something else? They got rid of it. They got bring back that spicy Jack case.
Didn't they get rid of something else?
They got rid of a lot of stuff.
They keep winnowing down their menu,
but also expanding in other areas
like their limited time barrier promotion.
Speaking of the cookie butter shake,
I tried to get that a couple places and nowhere had it.
And it's like still on the website,
but then when you click through, it's gone.
And it's a mirage.
I think it is like, I think it's just not on offer anymore.
Yeah, I think so.
I checked like a few Dell talk-ups.
It's good, because they are, the signage is like advertising it.
And I think it was in the app like pretty recently.
But yeah, you go to a place you can't order it.
But also why are they attempting that?
Yeah, I'm sure it's fine, but it's, you know, it's cookie butter.
Exactly.
Oh, another sweet cookie butter. Exactly.
Oh, another sweet milkshake.
Yeah.
Any other food thoughts?
Have anything we missed in terms of your menu items?
Yeah, I got, I mean, I got the ramen and I kind of had similar thoughts to you.
I thought it was fine, but I didn't really feel like I needed to finish it, you know?
I got a go-to for me is the like stuffed quesadilla taco.
I feel like if I'm getting fast food,
if I'm getting del taco,
probably gonna go a little nuts.
And so I like that it's very big.
It is, it's a big boy.
It's a large taco, yeah.
What else did I get?
Well, I went over the weekend
and I got a burger and fries,
and that was solid, honestly.
You just got a regular burger.
Yeah, so I went through and I,
the drive-through, I asked,
could I have a single cheeseburger?
And the guy didn't seem to fully,
I don't know if that's just not something they do.
I'm used to just ordering single versus double or whatever.
Anyway, the burger I got was like,
it was like a child toy burger from a toy set.
It was like a very plasticky bun
and a very, very, very thin patty and then ketchup
and cheese.
And it was great.
It was really good because a burger is a really good food.
And the fries are great.
Yeah.
And then I got a mini strawberry shake today.
And that was good.
I like that.
And I like the mini size because you really don't need a lot of milkshake.
100% no.
I like that they offer that.
The specifically the double Delfty's burger they have there
is one of my more, to me, a better fast food burger
than a lot of places, a lot of dedicated burger places.
It's what Natalie asked for when I went to get
the Del Taco for the show.
Yeah, I do like their burgers and fries quite a bit.
Bitch anything else?
Well, the night I got home, which was only a couple of nights ago,
which was one day night and today is Thursday,
I got myself, I did a little Del Taco run
when I got back to the house.
And I ordered a crispy chicken taco,
which is fine, and I got that with ranch,
which is fine, I think those are fine.
I like the, what are they called?
The, not the loaded grillers, that's Taco Bell.
Like what are the, the $1 like chicken rollers.
I like the chicken rollers.
Yeah, those are good.
Those are good.
But the crispy chicken taco is decent.
I did a snack taco.
I did two different snack tacos,
which were, I got a soft and a hard snack taco.
Those are a little too tiny for me. The snack tacos are a little, I'd rather get the del snack taco. Those are a little too tiny for me.
The snack tacos are a little,
I'd rather get the del taco.
They're just like, they're like that big.
They're, and it just kind of messes with the flavor.
You know what I'm saying?
Like the components are just off.
And then I got some, a snack quesadilla
and then a bean and cheese burrito with green sauce.
And it was great. all the little stuff,
all the mini stuff, even though like the flavors
weren't as good, it was like good fun snack stuff.
But I think they are trying to do a little too much.
I got the real strawberry sprite
that has real pieces of strawberry in it.
And then today I got the lemonade, the strawberry lemonade.
The strawberry sprite I liked better,
but they're both like,
they just put some fruit in the drink. It's kind of fun. It is fun. It's a little fun. It just is,
I think, I don't know, it feels like they had a tried and true menu and things were working,
so I don't understand why. And when we first were told about this, we met someone from Del
Taco and they were like, we have like a big surprise and we talked to them
for a while and she taught and it was basically
that they were doing like a version
of a cheesy gordita crunch.
Right, this is a while back.
This is a while back and then they kind of did
but then from that point forward,
they did try to get like two,
I think they just try to get a little,
cause today I like didn't have fun with,
they forgot the Del Taco today.
So for me, so then I'm like,
there wasn't much that I really enjoyed.
All the birria stuff was like, whatever.
Yeah.
And to speak like I was anticipating just no sauce
because that's happened to me.
So I actually brought my sauce stash from home
as a contingency and thankfully there was ample sauce.
Amelia saw to that, but it is a sort of thing. You'll end up with no sauce from Del Taco, and then
that meal's just wrecked. If that's it.
Something else that just occurred to me is that that Del Taco, which is my local Del
Taco, is one block away from a McDonald's. And McDonald's is the opposite in terms of
reliability.
100%.
Stuff, you know, you're always getting your source. You're always getting the fries are always good.
Like it's always going to be the same every single time
because it's McDonald's.
You know, that's what they do.
I'm almost always going to choose the McDonald's.
Like if I'm on Sunset, those are my options.
Oh, 100%.
I'm going to have McDonald's.
100%.
All right, let's get to our final thoughts, our fork scores for our third visit to Del Taco.
I'm going to start things off.
I love Del Taco.
I'm pretty disappointed with this outing.
I'm really disappointed that they've, like all the other chains have completely discarded
their beyond and slash impossible line that they've just
like we were giving up on plant-based proteins.
I mean, that felt like it was a fun and encouraging direction for fast food to be going.
They were possibly to some degree fighting against the ecological devastation that comes
with industrial beef production, but they were just like, no,
well, consumers don't want it
and we refused it to discount it at all.
It's gonna cost more than beef.
So of course consumers aren't gonna pick it.
So they completely get rid of that.
They excise that they're still good vegetarian
and vegan options because it's Mexican food
and that's a vegetarian friendly cuisine,
but it just kind of sucks.
The berry I think completely just is a misfire,
it just doesn't work.
Like I don't know why they're doing it
and if they are going to do it,
they better do a good version of it and they're not.
It's five forks for me, but I, it's...
It's a very like deflated five forks.
Libby, your thoughts, your fork score.
Yeah, I mean, look, I will say I don't hate the the barrier stuff as much as you guys do.
I we've had the the barrier stuff before we got the the tacos and the quesadilla.
I quite like the quesadilla because like when you think about what is good about
Maria is like the salty beefy liquid.
It's good salty beefy liquid.
That is fun.
I do like that.
I agree.
And if you're not expecting much of it,
it is a sort of comforting thing.
I mean, I liked the food I had today, you know?
I didn't finish any of it,
but I don't know if had today, you know, I didn't finish any of it, but I don't know if that was, you know,
if that's a me issue rather than a Del Taco issue.
I, you know, I came into this thinking like, you know,
what am I gonna give Del Taco, you know?
It's a place I go like reasonably frequently.
And, you know, I was like, maybe what I have
will change my score
or whatever, but I don't think it has.
For me, it is a four-fork restaurant.
Wow, four forks.
What's to you, Mitch?
You know, I do love the, we didn't talk too much.
We talked about the fries, you got the load of fries,
which do sogg up a little bit,
but they do have great fries.
They have great stuff there.
I do think that, like you said, it's mismanaged.
Maybe in the court,
like maybe corporately mismanaged.
I don't know what the issues are here,
but it's a lot of the times understaffed.
You know what I mean?
They get orders rung a lot.
It's a frustrating place that I do like very much.
I think that they shouldn't have taken away some of the menu items. I think they should simplify some of the crazy stuff that they do. I do like that they have like a $2 or an under crave menu or whatever they do. Right. It's, you know, that's fun, but like just decide on a few things, bring back some of the old classics. I don't know. Look, I'm with you. I think that it is, I think I'm four forks.
When I gave it three and a half forks,
I think I had a bad experience.
Right.
And I do, you know what?
I mean, like overall, I do think that Del Taco
is like close to the five fork range for me.
But I gotta be honest with what the review is today.
Like the Birria stuff was fine.
And then the other night I did have a good time
with what I had, but I'm sad that I didn't get a del taco
and they forgot it, and that's what I want now.
I'm gonna crave a del taco for fucking,
I gotta go get one.
Yeah.
I had a del taco.
I know.
I saw that.
I guess gets, they fuck up in order,
and they forget one of my things.
The guess gets the-
Look, I mean, if there were two in the thing,
who's to say whether it was mine or yours,
and I got to eat it?
That's a great point.
That's a great point.
And I also did have a soft Del Taco.
That's what the, because-
Yeah.
I wasn't clear in my ordering to Amelia,
so that was on me.
Shout out to Amelia, who also pointed out that,
are we gonna say?
Oh, who went to Del Taco at like 1130,
and what a nightmare to go with a giant order
to Del Taco at 11.30 in the morning.
Sorry, you reminded me, I had that experience recently
where I was like, oh my God, I've never understood
what it's like to be the Doe Boys.
Yeah.
But it was, when I did a stream over Christmas,
I did like different Christmas streams,
and I did one that was 7-Eleven charcuterie.
So, I went to 7-Eleven and bought a
bunch of different stuff to make a charcuterie board on the stream and I bought I think $40
worth of stuff. And just like, because you don't have like a basket of 7-Eleven. So I was just like
carrying this like tottering pile of like horrible salami and like pretzels and a lot of horrible stuff.
And I was like, oh my God, now I know what it's like to be Nick Wiger.
I'm so humiliating.
Did you?
That's accurate.
And I had the urge that I think you've mentioned before, which is to say this isn't really me.
This is for a stream.
This is for content or. This is for whatever
But that's way way worse to say that yeah, 100% wait. How was the shakuda report though horrible?
What a bummer yeah, I would think like like is kind of I imagine part of the
Your mentality behind the exercises like if we remove all the packaging and we present it like a normal shakuda board
Yeah, will it still like you know how much of that is showmanship and how much does that as quality of the product?
But apparently it sucked.
Yeah, the best thing was the sliced apple.
Wow.
A lot of, I put like, you know, like they have these little,
you know, there's like cheese sticks
that are wrapped with salami or whatever they get.
I did some of those and they were horrible.
Yeah, I mean, some nuts, you know, that was all right,
but generally not good.
Really died in a cold case, yeah, that's a bummer.
But anyway, one more Amelia thing,
she pointed out that if you hold your nose
and say her full name, Amelia Marino,
it sounds like a Biria Burrito.
A Biria Burrito.
Which is,
A Biria Burrito.
A Biria Burrito.
Kind of works.
Amelia Barino.
I just said Barito.
Yeah.
We're just saying Barita Barino.
Your son is the most like her name.
Amelia, Amiria, Amelia Barino.
Now I'm trying to say her name.
You sound like saying you're saying her name.
That's all right.
It rhymes, her name, Amelia Barino, rhymes with Bria Burrito.
Bria Burrito.
He has a wonderful mind to come up with that.
My name was Amelia Marino.
I'd never in a million years have figured that out.
Yeah.
I sure didn't.
I still don't know it.
Wow.
So, Del Taco back in the Golden Plate Club, that's the end of our discussion of this week's
chain and hey, that brings us to our segment, which is the end of a different road.
It all comes down to this.
We launched the contest last year, Mitch.
We had the semifinals as the first episode of Doe Boyz Double Honor Patreon this year.
And today, as our segment is the finale of AdChad.
This season on AdChad,
166 contestants submitted from around the globe.
Then they were whittled down to 10 semifinalists.
And now, it's just four remain.
I'm doing this for my buddy Keith Dickerson.
I'm not here to make friends, especially with the hosts.
I just want this so bad, because Doe Boys is so, so good.
Because I just want to prove my devotion to Doe Boys
by doing whatever they tell me to do, within legal bounds.
That show Friends, I thought it sucked.
I'm going to show these ad virgins who the real ad chat is.
I'm doing it for you, Keith.
This, I'm done.
Who will be ad chat is I'm doing it for you Keith this I'm done who will be ad chat red leather yellow
Who will be crowned the first ever ad chat
Wow what dumb bullshit. I mean, I was there for it when we recorded it.
It is very dumb.
All right, so we have four contestants.
Libby, what a ride.
I don't even know what to say.
We have four finalists.
We are going to meet each of them and then we are going to see their ad read. and Slippy, what a ride. I don't even know what to say. We have four finalists.
We are going to meet each of them
and then we are going to see their ad-read.
Yes, I must have missed,
it's like I have missed some episodes, I feel like.
I'm not one of those guests who comes on
and is like, oh, I love the dough boys.
I love when you give a spoon score and-
Right, yes, yeah.
Whatever, I'm a big Doughboy fan,
but I have somehow missed AdChat,
although I did know the phrase, you know?
It was somewhere in my head.
We also kind of forgot about it, which is part of the issue.
So it kind of did, the timing should have been
like more all last year,
but then it fell off of our radar a little bit.
So we're kind of making up for it now.
We're figuring it out.
But you know what, perfect spot for it, the slums of January.
The week you get the guest who will always come on.
All right.
So we have four finalists.
We are going to meet each of them in sequence, and then we are going to hear
their reads.
And for this one, they all have all new copy.
That's right, they had one day to prepare brand new copy
and we have one read from each of them.
Which by the way, I will say this,
as an auditioner, I told you, I was like,
they should just get a cold read,
they should just do it cold.
And then we did decide that it was nicer
to have them be able to read it. Yeah, we did decide that it was nicer to have them
be able to read it.
But yeah, we decided to be nicer to them
than like Hollywood is to actors.
Everyone.
Yeah.
So we did give them a little bit of extra leeway,
but it wasn't a ton of time to prepare.
And I also just want to say fuck you to the people
on Reddit who are like,
it's hard to listen to the same ad copy four times a row.
Shut the fuck up.
What are we supposed to do?
Shut the fuck up.
Shut the fuck up.
Shut up. Maybe we'll edit it down. Just shut up. It's going to be great. It's going to be like, shut the fuck up. What are we supposed to do? Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Shut up.
Maybe we'll edit it down, just shut up.
It's gonna be great.
It's gonna be fine.
Shut the fuck up.
Mitch said he wanted to do something
that was like a casting couch or...
It was a casting chair and a half.
Jamie, get off the couch.
All right, let's meet our first finalists.
Hi, my name is Kilian Walsh, born and raised in Beverly Hills of Chicago, Illinois.
I am a college admissions counselor.
I don't really have a background in voiceover.
It's mostly just celebrity impressions on friends, you know, drama, comedy.
It runs the gamut.
My favorite fast food or chain restaurant right now. It's sitting pretty at Panda Express
What's my favorite podcast? Well, I'm glad you asked it's the dough boys
I want to be ad shad because I like the dough boys. I want to see him thrive
I want to get Mitch to two staircases. It's not three maybe one for Nick and Emma, too
This is what I want to see happen and I'll do what I can to make it happen
Wow, I don't like that he likes to doe boys.
Yeah, that's a strike against any contestant.
Yeah, yeah.
But otherwise, good stuff.
All right, let's hear it.
Seems like a good guy and he has no connection to show business at all.
Yeah.
I like his energy.
Yeah.
Well, let's see how it translates to Killian's ad read.
Couldn't buy a better mic though, could he?
I'm saying.
Vroom vroom, beep beep.
We want to tell you about a head gum podcast we think you're going to love.
The Pit Wall.
The Pit Wall is a Formula One podcast for casual fans hosted by Casey Donahue
and Marika Brownlee.
They welcome a rotating cast of head gum favorites, some new to the sport,
some diehard Tifosi,
as they talk about the latest races from the boys in their toys.
And when it's not race week, they keep the DRS trained chuggin as they cover the latest
episodes of Netflix's Drive to Survive, as well as movies that have a car in them.
So if you love race cars, French boys, foreign nations, tire compounds, hotties of the week,
Ford V Ferrari and all the rest, you're going to love listening to the pit wall.
And if you've never watched a Formula One race in your life, you're in good company.
Check out previous episodes with newcomers to the sport like Riley and spa and Carl Tartt
or other casual fans like Hayes Davenport.
In particular, I enjoyed the Gran Turismo episode covering the video game film adaptation
for Gran Turismo, which not only, surprisingly, it's quite good,
but it's a faithful racing film as well.
So push, push the subscribe button to the pit wall
on Pocket Cast Spotify, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you listen to podcasts.
New episodes drop every Wednesday of the Formula One season.
And remember, vroom vroom to all and to all a beep beep.
Wow.
It's a really strong, It's a really strong read.
Very strong read despite...
Hey, we're doing four ads for your podcast.
That's right.
It's your podcast.
Yes.
We expect to be compensated for four times over.
You asked me to write that and now I have to pay you.
That's right. That's what we expect here. You do the work for us and you have to pay you. That's right.
That's what we expect here.
You do the work for us and you have to pay us.
They're not going to do it.
I thought that was a very, I thought he did a great job.
I thought it was a good read.
Yeah.
I do see him reading.
I wish he were.
I can see is the reflection of the script he's reading
in his glasses.
So I wish that he wore non-reflective glasses.
I think that will take some points off.
The Emma's notifying me that they don't exist, but still I wish that he had
figured out some sort of technology to not have me see the script as he read.
So the thing here with this read is that we couldn't see him the whole time.
So I was wondering if he was AI. It was the only person of is that we couldn't see him the whole time. So I was wondering if he was AI.
There's only person of the contestants we couldn't see.
You mean because of the connection on the day, yes.
But watching here, we can see that it's one uninterrupted take
from a human man.
Yeah, I guess so.
I think it's a great read,
despite being recorded on a Game Boy camera.
I think it is, it's just natural pipes.
That's a big part of it.
And so I'm really impressed by how clean it is,
but also just like how much power comes from
behind those vocal chords.
Very conversational.
Very, yeah, exactly.
It feels like a friend recommending a podcast to me.
It feels both, it feels both presentational,
but also warm.
Libby, any thoughts? Yeah I mean Blue Yeti obviously
you can't go wrong. The one I have is a
Samson Q2U. That was about 60 bucks.
What you can do is you can buy it from
Best Buy and then just when you're done
with it return it and then it's no
harm no foul. Amazon's good for that too.
Yeah Amazon doesn't give a shit shit the guy should have bought a hundred dollar mic for this dough boy
Make your bed
I'm gonna say to yeah, what's up with that? I could see the pillow. That's it
We can also see the headshot of Alan Tudyk on the back wall, who is that?
Oh, okay, that actually I like a lot.
Yeah.
Can you, who the hell is that?
Is it Bob Barker?
Maybe it's Regis.
Maybe we don't wanna see who it is.
It looks like it's-
It's a good possibility that it's bad.
Jordan Peterson?
Definitely important,
because it's the only thing on the wall.
Yeah.
Yeah. Thank you for inviting us into your home, Killian.
I thought it was great.
Yeah, great.
Clearly, a natural talent.
Yeah.
Do you want, I don't want to, I mean, I don't want to pride you to do this, but
you do have a natural opportunity to be like a mean British judge if you wanted to.
You know, I don't have to, but I'm just saying like, it's just like that exists.
Like a Simon Cowell?
Yeah, like, you know, or Gordon Ramsay, you know, there's a lot of ways to play it. You fucking donkey. Yeah, Simon Cowell? Yeah, like Gordon Ramsay, you know?
There's a lot of ways to play it.
You fucking donkey.
Yeah, that's good.
Yeah, there you go.
Perfect.
Let me tell you.
I'm gonna sprinkle him throughout.
Now who's not framed on that picture there?
Mary Kondo.
You fucking clean up her face.
Marie Kondo?
Oh, is it Marie Kondo?
Yeah, it's okay.
I got a letter from-
Did you look it up?
No.
No.
Okay, because you're fiddling with your phone
there for a second.
Oh, really?
Not only that, look at how I wrote,
who is the person that says goodbye to stuff?
Marie Knell. Dementia patient's way of explaining.
All right, that was Kelly.
Let's meet our next contestant.
I go by Bo and I'm from New York.
My day job is working as a revenue operations consultant for myself.
I don't have any background in voiceover. When I was in college, I had a radio show from 4am to 6am.
My favorite fast food or chain restaurant is probably Chipotle. My favorite podcast is
probably the Doughboys. I want to be ad-shad because it would be really cool for me personally and for my family and friends
to see that I was doing something with my life. Wow. Okay. I
would beg to differ that it would be cool for you or your family or friends, Bo.
But, uh, that's Bo. Bo, all of our contestants, very sweet, very nice people. 100%.
And all have nice pleasant voices, so I'm interested in hearing. That's a key part, Bow. Bow. All of our contestants are very sweet, very nice people. 100%.
And all have nice pleasant voices. So I'm interested in hearing.
That's a key part, I think, of being an ad chat.
Let's see how it translates to a read.
Let's listen to Bow talk about the pit wall.
Vroom vroom, beep beep.
We're here to tell you about a headgum podcast
we think you're gonna love, the pit wall.
The pit wall is a Formula One podcast for casual fans
hosted by Casey Donahue and Marika Brownlee.
Together they welcome a rotating crew of headgum faves,
those new to the sport and some Tufosi
to talk about the latest races from the boys in their toys.
And when it's not race week,
they keep the DRS train chugging
as they dive into the latest episodes
of Netflix's Drive to Survive
and some other movies that have cars in them like Gran Turismo and Rush. So if you love film, race cars,
French boys, foreign nations, tire compounds, Hotties of the Week, Ford vs Ferrari, or anything
in our wheelhouse, you're gonna love listening to the pit wall. And if you've never watched a
Formula One race, no worries, you'll still love listening to Riley Anspa compare F1 to Mario Kart, Carl Tart, Trash
Talk, Max for Stappin, or listen to Hayes Davenport push hard on the Las Vegas Grand
Prix.
So push push the subscribe button to the pit wall on Pocket Cast, Spotify, Apple, or wherever
you listen to podcasts.
New episodes drop every Wednesday during the F1 season.
And remember, vroom vroom to all and to all a beep beep.
Wow.
A great job.
Another great job.
Very, very conversational, very, like I can,
Yes, 100%.
I can picture Bo's voice at the start of other podcasts.
That is exactly what I was gonna say.
Right.
Like I can just imagine her voice in my ears
when I'm chopping onions or whatever I'm doing
when I'm listening to podcasts.
Yeah. I feel soothed
Yeah, that's it's like a calming energy a very calming nice voice good, but also conversational. Yeah good speed
Obviously, I think Kylian has more of an announcer voice. This is it's the two styles
Right kind of what the final four are there's two that are kind of more anouncery and two that are a little bit more conversational
two that are kind of more annuncery, and two that are a little bit more conversational.
But both very good.
I mean, right now it is, those two are neck and neck.
I think it's an excellent read.
Yeah, and I also have to give points
for clearly having a ring light and a good microphone.
That is true.
Audio and video wise.
That our last ad chat episode,
we talked about how her mic wasn't great,
and so she bought this mic for this one.
Shit, well that almost feels like we have to
give her the prize.
Money, yeah.
And Killian said, fuck you and throw a blanket
on the snatchers.
Ha ha ha.
Bo, we'd not, Bo's bed isn't framed
so we can assume that it's probably made
unlike Killian.
Killian lost big points with the bed.
It's got lovely art on the walls too,
and it looks like some paint.
Maybe she's a little an artist herself.
Yeah, good framing, good framing.
No, they were both very good so far.
Great job by Bo, great job by both so far.
Next up we have our next contestant.
My name is Tyler Lorenz, and I'm from Los Angeles, California. by both so far. Next up, we have our next contestant. And so I love Waffle House. My favorite podcast is probably Blank Shack with Griffin and David. Well, I want to be adshad because I think it's just a great honor. Can you are you kidding me?
I've been listening since 2018.
Voiceover is very fun to do in the first place and there's no better place
to do it than in the ad reads of the Doughboys podcast.
Tyler is funny.
I think he's a funny dude.
Yes.
Um, he I will say, you know, he has a background on sketching improv.
Those are point deductions for me.
Yeah, 100%.
Pretty significant.
Yeah.
But I will say he gets points
for not listening to a Boyz as his favorite podcast.
Yeah, I love that.
Real alpha move.
Another great, I mean, the three contestants so far
just have great voices.
Yes.
And also and also a pro setup for what it's worth from Tyler.
All right, let's let's go ahead and hit Tyler's read.
Vroom, vroom, beep, beep.
We want to tell you about a head gum podcast we think you're going to love.
The pit wall.
The pit wall is a Formula One podcast for casual fans hosted by Casey Donahue and
Marika Brownlee. They welcome a rotating cast of headgum favorites, some new to the sport,
some diehard to foci, as they talk about the latest races from the boys and their toys.
And when it's not race week, they keep the DRS train chugging as they cover the latest episodes
of Netflix's Drive to Survive, as well as movies that have a car in them.
So if you love race cars, French boys, foreign nations,
tire compounds, Hotties of the Week,
Ford V Ferrari and all the rest,
you're gonna love listening to The Pit Wall.
And if you've never watched a Formula One race in your life,
you're in good company.
Check out previous episodes with newcomers to the sport
like Riley and Spa and Carl Tart or other casual fans like Hayes Davenport.
I personally recommend the Brazilian Grand Prix episode with Ali Khan for a truly charming
entry point into the pod.
Give it a listen.
You'll say, Obregato.

And remember, vroom vroom to all and to all a beep beep.
Wow, that's a really good read.
They're all good.
Well done by Tyler.
He's got a good attitude.
Yeah, clearly somewhat of a ringer I think,
you know, just like experienced, you know.
Yeah.
A little bit more background in it, it seems like, even though he does seem like experienced, you know. Yeah. A little bit more background in it, it seems like, even though he
did, he does seem like a novice, like it seems like he doesn't do a lot
of this, like he was telling us.
He did do some animation voiceover he told us for his friends project,
but nothing, you know, I don't know how much he works professionally.
Right.
But still, still perhaps on the early part of his career, but someone who
has more of a
official background. He's got a great voice. Great pipes. Great sound to his voice.
And also great good confidence. He's got a hootspa. That's what I say. He's got a
lot of hootspa. He does have hootspa. I would say that and this is a thing with
that also Bo and Killian did well, but also making the copy their own. Yeah.
Like just like you know that there's some there's some set text, some bullet points
that you have to get through, but also finding ways
to shape it so it sounds like your own voice,
it sounds natural coming out of your lips.
When I say he's got chutzpah, I think that it comes
specifically from Casey, he's giving me a look
like I shouldn't be saying the word.
I think specifically like parts of the read
where he's like, where he emphasizes some stuff where-
A little bit of this.
Where a little bit of this where you kind of need it
in the copy.
Exactly, yeah.
You know what I mean?
This copy that Casey wrote for us
that he's not gonna pay us for, I guess.
You need to sometimes pick it up here and there.
I think that-
Yeah, for sure.
I mean, that's all ad copy.
And I think he does that.
Also, I said he's funny,
and I mean that in like the most Doughboy's way and that he's very dorky.
I also like that he seems to live in a closet.
That's cool.
I think he maybe records in this closet.
No, I think he lives in there.
Yeah, that's his dumbest style.
I was like, his jokes were funny and he was dorky in a good way.
I didn't mean it like...
I like that he was a loser.
He's not a loser.
He's great.
He's great.
He is great.
All three have been great so far.
Everyone has done great and you know what?
I keep thinking he is dumb.
It must be really hard to do ad reads.
Yeah. Seems hard. That was be really hard to do ad reads. Yeah.
Seems hard.
That was the whole point of us doing that.
So thank you for saying that, Libby.
That's what we wanted out of this.
Is that people were like, they stutter and they mess up all the time, specifically at
me.
You do them pretty well.
They say that to you?
Yeah, they write shit like that all the time.
They're writing duh out?
They're typing it and putting it in Mrs. Reflying?
Yeah, of course they're writing duh. And now that you've said that, that was the time. They're writing duh out? They're typing it and putting it in Mrs. Reflying? Yes, of course they're writing duh.
And now that you've said that, that was the whole point of this.
It's just to show people that they weren't easy.
Do we need to even finish this?
I think we're done.
I think we're done.
I guess for the readers we should finish it, I guess.
All right, we have one more contest
and let's meet our final of the four finalists.
Did you just say for our readers?
Oh, no, I meant these people.
I don't think anyone's reading the finalist.
Like I did the same thing I called our listeners our readers.
Is that what you were saying?
No, people don't order transcripts of this like Nightline.
Yeah.
All right, let's let's let's meet our final finalists.
Hi, I'm Lindsay and I live in Brooklyn, New York.
I'm originally from Florida.
I'm a graphic designer.
I work at a fire sprinkler company.
I've done improv for like 15 years.
Not a ton of voiceover training.
Favorite fast food is Taco Bell.
Always a crunch wrap
and almost always a cheesy gritty to crunch as well.
My favorite podcast is the sloppy boys podcast.
I wanna be ad-shad because I think you guys are super cool.
I would love to be part of the do boys multi-verse
And it's it's fun to do voiceover stuff
Wow great reasons. Um, I don't know. We'll probably cut it up
But when she said Brooklyn, I did my little oh, I did an Italian accent
Well now now it'll stay in I mean now will stay in that was my way of getting it in. Yeah, I
Now it'll stay in. I mean, now it'll stay in.
That was my way of getting it in.
She's got a very pleasant voice.
I like that she didn't like our podcast,
but then her favorite was Sloppy Boy,
so points still up to still overall.
But uh.
Too close.
She does a lot of improv too.
She does a lot of improv, yeah.
We talked to her about that a little bit
when we were doing our exit interviews.
I do like that she likes cheesy gordita crunches wise as well.
So, I mean, every person has, again,
it just has a nice voice.
Yeah.
So let's- She's a very friendly vibe.
Yes. For sure.
Hanging with your friends.
All right, well, let's go ahead and hear this read.
Vroom vroom, beep, beep.

Wow.
What up?
Great job.
Four great performances overall.
It would be great if you said three great performances.
I'm not gonna have to be a ghost.
They say it was fun.
Yeah.
A try force of excellence.
We just witnessed there.
Why is it was a, it was a try force plus a master sword.
There was, there was four, but there can only be one.
I think that was a really good read.
Obviously like a lot of great comedy in there.
Yeah.
Just a good sense of humor in that lead.
She really made it her own.
Yeah, and yeah.
She was through that copy quickly.
It was like, hey, racing through that copy.
Like we're going around the racetrack, turn and left.
It's much like the subject of the copy.
That's right.
It's about cars and racing.
So it's very interesting.
It is, Mitch, this is interesting.
Yeah, we could do 10 minutes on that, no problem.
That she was getting out those words,
like going around a race track.
So that's the interesting part of my task.
That's very interesting, totally interesting thing to say.
And the thing about a race is it's very fast.
It is fast.
It is fast.
It's like who goes the fastest is the winner.
That's almost like the whole point actually.
It is, like the whole thing, yeah.
The Breslin backwards mile, he was trying to go fast.
That's right, you told the story on the Doe Boys
on the main feed.
But yeah, they are real quick, your buddy from Breslin.
41st birthday, Thursday night, last Thursday night,
a week ago, we were having drinks, watching Celtics game,
and he bet us that he could run
a mile backwards in under 10 minutes.
He said under eight minutes, and we gave him under 10 minutes.
So we were drunk, and we went to the high school track
at 1 AM, and he ran around the track backwards.
And after one lap, he was at almost four minutes,
and I told him he was on pace, so he did a second lap.
Wow. But he was going very fast so he did a second one. Wow.
But he was going very fast. That's what a racetrack is.
Yeah, that's what a racetrack is.
That's that's you're going fast, but also everyone did a great job nailing
all the copy because look for us, we do it in private.
We're going to we're doing ad reads today.
Yeah. Fuck.
I mean, we love our brands. Oh, we love the brands.
Get the showcase here.
The brands are great.
Yeah.
But to nail all the dialogue and get it out quick and give it personality, that was cute
as hell.
Yeah.
It's not easy.
Jeremy did a little spin on the couch or on the chair and a half, I'm sorry.
But I think this is gonna be,
I think this is gonna be a tough decision
between the four of them.
It's very hard.
It's gonna be a very tough decision.
Here's what I think we should do.
Let's take a break.
Let's talk about it and we're gonna come right back
and crown an ad chat.
Wow.
Wow.
It's gonna be a very tough decision.
It's gonna be a very tough decision.
It's gonna be a very tough decision.

The Big Bang
Welcome back to Doe Boys.
We had a long set of deliberations among our panel of judges.
Susser and Amelia weighed in remotely.
Jimmy took a nap and a decision has been reached.
Everyone did a great job, Wags.
It was crazy close.
We were all, it was, it was, it took a long time to figure it out. But ultimately, only one person can come away
with the grand prize of a new professional podcast mic.
A month long job paid as the Doe Boyz ad reader
and the title of first ever ad chat.
And that winner is Kylian.
Congratulations Kylian.
Congratulations Kylian.
You are ad Chad.
Wow.
Well done to all of our competitors.
Oh so good.
But congratulations to Kylian.
Your bed wasn't made, your mic wasn't working,
but you overcame the odds of a bad bed and a strength.
I had a general lack of effort
Everyone did a great job. It was that that was very very hard. Yes. Thank you to Killian. Thank you to bow
Thank you to Lindsay. Thank you to Tyler and thank you to everyone who submitted. Yeah
Amazing job amazing job all around and
Hey, just like a restaurant with our your feedback, let's open
up the feedback. We have a voicemail today. Let's take a
listen. Hey, Dopham. This is Riley. I'm hoping you guys can
help me settle a fee related debate. And the question is how
is the correct way to eat trail mix? Wow and my fiance differ in how that should be done.
I won't tell you who chooses which side,
but the two options are that you just pick up
a handful of trail mix, you throw it in your mouth,
whatever you get you eat as the flavors
you're designed to go together,
or that you get a handful and then you eat
each individual component separately,
you'd eat all the peanuts and then all the raisins or whatever.
It's just a way to get multiple snacks at once,
but they don't actually get eaten at the same time.
Any help you could provide would be great. Thanks, guys.
Right. We're basically,
do you eat them like M&Ms or do you eat them like Skittles?
Do you eat them as a handful or do you eat them individually?
You don't eat a handful of Skittles?
No, I take them one at a time.
Yikes.
I do both with Skittles.
I'll eat them individually
and then I also will eat a handful of them.
I had a roommate in college who with both Skittles
and M&Ms would always eat in threes,
two of one color, one of a different color.
Whoa. Which was so specific.
Yeah.
Wow, I kinda like that.
Yeah.
I think that I do it both ways.
I think once again.
With trail mix.
I think that I will do a big handful of trail mix
and something like, I want an M&M.
And so.
Yeah.
That's my favorite as you get the trail mix
with M&Ms in it and then you're just eating M&Ms.
My favorite.
Yeah, so good.
You're right.
This is a crazy question to me.
Crazy question.
It's utterly insane to-
You were just in the mountains, so I imagine you have some trail mix experience.
Yes, I'm a big time trail mix eater.
I eat it on the trail.
I eat it on a stream.
I eat it just sitting on the couch and I like to put it in a little ramekin.
I like to decant my trail mix into a little ramekin and then take it over on the couch and I like to put it in a little ramekin. I like to decant my trammix into a little ramekin and then take it over the couch
and then I scoop up a big handful and shove it all in at once because that's the whole point.
Is you get different flavoring with the pecan, with the M&M.
Right.
Salty, sweet.
Yes.
Here's the thing though.
It's funny that you're like, you were just up in the mountains.
Of course you had trammix.
She went up to the mountains to write.
It's like,
That's some fucking trail mix.
I guess we're also like writers just are snacking,
I guess too.
You went on some hikes.
I actually didn't.
I actually stayed in.
I thought you went on some hikes.
It's snowy, it's the winter.
I was thinking about it, but-
Was it snowy?
No.
I was in Crestline, which is like not that high up.
But yeah, I stayed in inside basically for two days straight.
Got it.
And I bought some trail mix, but didn't eat it.
I went to Trader Joe's on my way out there
and I spent a very stupid amount of money
on three days worth of groceries for the Airbnb,
including some trail mix.
I got some almond bark as well,
like dark chocolate almond bark.
Wow.
Oh, so good.
But your remote,
How often are you on the trail when you eat trail mix, fucking?
I used to be all the time when I was in Boy Scouts.
That's bullshit.
I was a fucking big time trail guy.
I was on the trail all the time.
I was hiking.
Trail mix on the trail?
Yeah, and he trail mix on the trail.
That was the first context I was introduced for.
Trail mix in your fucking gamer chair.
That's where you're eating.
You're not fucking eating on the trail.
Okay, let's not say anything we might regret about gamer chairs.
I'm gonna give myself a gamer chair and a half. Let's not say anything we might regret about Game of Chess.
I'm going to give myself a Game of Chess and a half.
I don't usually eat trail mix on the trail.
I think I told you a story. I've told, I haven't told the story, but when I was like, I went on a few dates
with this woman and I really liked her, you know this.
And then she was like, let's go on like on a hike.
And I was like, okay.
And I like bought hiking gear and I bought trail mix.
And then she called me and there was like a bunch of noise and she was at a party
and she was like, I think we should be friends.
And I had all this new hiking gear and trail mix and I sat down on the couch and I wept.
And then you went to the mountains the next day.
Of course.
I fucking never used the trail stuff ever.
Yeah, did you return the boots?
You gotta come on hikes with me.
I'll do some hikes.
I would never call you from a party.
I don't wanna say I don't wanna go on a hike.
Jesus Christ.
I mean, I like did get,
because it was like, oh, it's gonna be like a,
like it was like in the Malibu hills or something.
I was like, I'm gonna get myself hikes out there get hike stuff. Yeah, I would never do that to you
I would never call you and say I want to be friends
This was years ago. Yeah, and we are and we you know what we are friends. Hey, there you go nice
But I never I ate that trail mix, not on the trail either.
Trail mix is great.
I think that's the only thing I use.
I think trail mix is great.
I love it.
I love the crunch and I love the chew.
There's certain things I don't wanna see in trail mix.
Like I'm not crazy about like dried cranberries
or dried blueberries, but I'm okay with it.
Cranberries can work.
It depends on the context.
But for the most part, nuts and seeds, I love any sort of chocolate
or like a peanut butter like little chip.
I'm into all of that shit.
In terms of how to eat it, I'm taking a handful,
but I might sift that handful a little bit
to make sure it has the right distribution of components.
Because I don't want to make like,
oh wait, it's oops all M&Ms.
That's a little bit of a different experience than eating. components. Because I don't want to make like, oh wait, it's oops all M&Ms. You know, that's
a little bit of a different experience. I have to eat these now.
But okay, but like oops all cashews. That's a scenario where like, well, I like cashews
and I like them in the context of trail mix, I want to have some other components there.
I was at Encore Casino, which is in Massachusetts.
Linda, what do I call Linda? That's right. The doctor. I met Linda. It was her 40th
birthday. H.B.D. Linda. Sherry McCuskey was there who was our old high school friend.
She got trail mix. So I just was eating trail mix recently, but she kept putting all the
raisins in my pocket. That's a good thing. She kept putting all the raisins in my pocket. In this shirt.
That's a good bit.
She was putting all the raisins in there
because she was like, there's way too many raisins.
There's always too many raisins.
Because raisins are cheap, I think.
Yeah, 100%.
It's like that curve episode.
Yes, for sure.
Yeah, exactly.
Do you ever hear dried pineapple,
like the little bits of dried pineapple?
I've encountered that before, but not commonly.
I love those in a trail mix.
It's the only place I want to try a pineapple.
I love it.
I might try trail mix a little too fruity. I think I am.
Cranberries are raisins.
I think cranberries are like the craziest I'll go.
Sometimes a dried cherry is nice.
Ooh, okay.
It's interesting.
When I did the 7-Eleven charcuterie,
I got some trail mix for that
and it had fucking edamame in it.
That's wild.
Which was just insane.
I was like this completely the wrong flavor.
Like shelled?
Yeah, just like very dry sort of like it was it was nasty. It was very nasty.
We should I just thought of an episode of format.
You don't like my trailer? I like a buffalo wing.
I just thought of an episode of format, which is that we get a bunch of like just like different kinds of nuts and a bunch of kind of different kinds of dried fruit and a bunch of you know whatever just a bunch of different
accompaniments and then we craft our own bespoke trail mixes on the show.
Figure out the ratios and like you know what which ones we want to have and
which components we don't have. Wow a future double with Koalic.
Wait until the fans are excited to listen to it.
Yeah, I think it's just, first off, I will say that you mentioned Trader Joe's, and I do like how Trader Joe's seems to have a bunch of different kinds of trail mix.
And you will encounter that, I feel like at certain grocery stores where they've got like, hey, we've got, you know, whatever, we've got 10 different kinds, and they've all kind of got different mixes. Yeah.
And I do appreciate that sort of variety,
because I would find myself locked into
like the Kirkland trail mix.
You know, we'd buy like a pack of 60,
and then I'd just be having that,
and it's good, but it's always the same snack every time.
I like that trader Joe, you know who I don't trust?
That trader Giuseppe.
That no good trader Giuseppe,
who makes the pizzas, the, all the Italian food, there's something about that trader Giuseppe. That no good Trader Giuseppe who makes the pizzas,
the old Italian food.
There's something about that Trader Giuseppe.
What's the Irish version of Trader Joe?
Because that would be Trader Giuseppe's enemy, obviously.
That is a great point.
Wow.
What's an Irish name?
Is it just Joe?
Do you just say Joe?
Is there just a Joseph in Ireland?
Probably Irish Joe's, right?
Yeah, there's plenty of Irish Joe's.
Yeah.
Joeio, you know Yeah, there's plenty of Irish Joe's. Yeah.
Joe we owe, you know, Joe is Irish.
If there was any overlap in the Venn diagram
of Trader Joe's shoppers and Trump voters,
you could have like a traitor Joe
as like a Joe Biden bumper sticker.
Oh, fuck.
But no one would get the reference.
I think the Irish Joe is just angry Joe.
That works.
Angry Joe.
That's him.
So, it's angry Joe's soda bread.
What are the Irish dishes Trader Joe would have?
Yeah, this is soda bread.
Corned beef.
Corned beef, yeah.
Man, Trader Joe's corned beef, that would be pretty great. Like a corned beef and cabbage meal. Could bread, they have that. Corned beef. Corned beef, yeah. Man, a Trader Joe's corned beef,
that would be pretty great.
Like a corned beef and cabbage meal.
Could be, you never know.
How come they sell that?
They're there, really?
Like around March, yeah, yeah.
Well, you'll be able to see very soon.
Why isn't there an Irish Joe included?
You know what I mean?
I think it's just because there's not
a good shorthand for it, you know.
My mind's going blank on what the common Irish names are,
Trader Doogleal or something.
Yeah, the thing is, because they were all like,
first off, they've gotten rid of some of them
that they've viewed to be culturally.
It was Trader Jose.
Is Trader Jose gone?
Trader Jose, I think, is just gone.
I think there was also like,
it was like Trader Ming or something.
It was like completely not even connected to Joe.
Yeah, that one's not good.
I would say if I worked in Trader Joe corporate,
I would, I mean, probably none of them are good.
Trader just said that you can get away with
cause it's okay to make fun of Italians.
That's the one thing we've decided on culturally.
Yeah.
So my question is, is was he the same guy?
You know what I mean?
Was Trader Joe, like, and it was just,
he was in a different...
Did he put on like a disguise
and he had that adopted that persona?
Did he put on a mustache and a big chef's hat?
That's me.
That's what I'm trying to figure out.
Was he the same guy or was this like another Trader Giuseppe?
I always viewed it like, you know,
when Flanders has the family reunion,
there's all the different Flanders' from different regions. I viewed it was like, you know, when Flanders has the family reunion, there's all the different Flanders from different regions.
I viewed it was like different Joes that like live in different parts of the world.
I like that.
Yeah.
But he's not the same guy.
It's more like all the different homers that are running into each other with the buckets on their heads.
I shoot birds at the airport.
That's that would be the Italian and the Irish trade of Joes at the same time.
I play a millionaire at parties. at least I'd like to.
Just saying Simpsons lines.
That would be a great podcast.
It would be a great podcast.
I haven't been.
No commentary on the episode, not like the great Talking Simpsons podcast.
Just quoting Simpsons lines.
It's just like we're just going to say lines and laugh at them.
That happened on my stream the other night.
We just spent like 10 minutes saying, I'm the other great thing in that episode is,

You will die in one of those parking lots.
Breaking Jews, Trader Joe's supposed to come to Quincy.
Wow.

that I see in theaters this year.
Well, other than Sorcerer,

And it was so loud.
I don't know if you've experienced this, but that theater is very loud.
It's very loud.
Compact theater.
I had to put my fingers in my ears because it was so loud.
I had a headache.

That's cool though, because I saw Beekeeper last night and it was not loud enough.
I was like, this is an action movie,

Again, I also, I didn't work on it for that long.
So like, you know, a lot of that stuff,
that content that got implemented
was after I was off the project.
But yeah, I mean, whatever it was,
overall your main quest was to try to have Joey Nails
ascend the hierarchy of the New Jersey mob.
Joey Nails?
Joey Nails.
Joey Nails. Tough as nails. Nothing like any of the names Jersey mob. Joey Nails. Joey Nails. Joey Nails.
Tough as nails.
Nothing like any of the names from the Sopranos.
Yes, markedly worse, right?
Yeah, exactly, yeah.
Joey Nails.
Like it sounds like it could be, but it also isn't at all.
Yeah, those guys are called like Silvio or Paulie.
Right.
There's Paulie walnuts, there's Big Pussy.
Big Pussy, all right, fair enough.
There's things you hit there.
Big Pussy's way better than Joey Nails.
I agree with you, so is Little Pussy Melanga.
It's another good one.
There's a Big Pussy and a Little Pussy, yeah.
What about Joey Pussy?
Joey Pussy would have been good.
