what are nuggets made out of anyway if you have to ask you can’t afford it DS sorry that was inappropriate this is a hot dog is a sandwich ketchup is a smoothie yeah I put ice in my cereal so what that makes no sense hot dog is a sandwich a hot dog is a sandwich what Welcome to our podcast a hot dog is a sandwich the show where we break down the world’s biggest food debates I’m your host Josh a and I’m your host Nicole totsy what does toots mean does it mean Tootsie like Tootsie girl Tootsie Pop I think it’s like an ethnic minority in Rwanda the tootsie Tootsie people yeah I no I don’t think it’s related to that I don’t know where toots comes from etymologically and I do want people to knowl it anytime Nicole and I do a little intro where there seems to be a little bit of friction um sometimes we’ll see comments where it’s like I think they’re in a fight but you know that it’s not because then we both coordinated turn to the camera if you’re listening on audio but we still coordinate and say this is a hot dog is a sandwich so it’s bit of uh stage acting we are actors we are professional actors sure uh you went to juliard I am a thespian hi I identif as a thesp I’m thespian and Jason I did go to a women’s rugby match this Sunday and I had a great time short for Tootsie Tootsie from Tootsie wsie a familiar form of address to sweetheart originally playful your Nursery name for a small foot from Childish pronunciation of foot foot sounds like to it’s a kitty it’s like for kids Tootsie wsy I feel like I need to be like just chewing on a cigar he tootsy wsie over here anyways Nicole tell them what we’re talking about today we’re going to be ranking a few chicken nuggets from a few fast food joints yeah we’re talking about what the best fast food nuggets are um I didn’t get all of them oh just to be fair I didn’t get all of them but I got most of them we good mattering we got some of the Heavy Hitters here people are really into Wendy’s we have our own biases here what do you I mean you and I have been on record as saying McDonald’s chicken nuggets are the absolute best and sort of the progenitor yeah of fast food chicken nuggets I’ve been saying progeny a lot progy that’s a good word I like progenitor uh but no McDonald’s is like credited as being the first to introduce chicken nuggets and a lot of people say it was taking influence from Chinese American fried chicken dishes I mean not tempura but the way that Chinese American food you take the little chicken nugget if you will and then you bread it and then you fry it and then you sauce it and so little tiny fried chicken pieces of processed meat that have preservatives like salt and citric acid and spices uh and ascorbic acid who knows mixed in there um and then breaded and fried and now they are in absolute main State and they’re more important than ever Nicole why more important than ever climate change oh God can I eat one of Let’s Do It the sea levels are sea leveling we don’t love that um no but uh beef is getting more and more expensive to raise there are more and more droughts um and people are also uh getting wise to the health effects of beef and so people are eating more chicken than ever chickens are very small emissions are lower much I eat so much beef yeah I think you’re you’re a little bit in the in the minority on that beef levels are dropping and you know the American Cattleman’s Association um which I think their shorthand is just beef oh really like the the company or not the company but the association just calls himself beef it’s looks for dinner um but hamburgers are getting more expensive chicken nuggets are cheaper fast food labor prices are rising they need to keep up profits for whomever ketchup on my nugget I hate ketchup on my nugget what do you mean so now there’s like fast food chicken nugget Wars going on they’re all competing for resources they’re making spicy nuggies I like spicy nuggets we are now eating the McDonald’s nugget Nicole forcibly put it in my mouth no I there’s cameras I didn’t force anything in your mouth what do you think about McDonald’s nuggets like really try and analyze this from Nicole a professional Chef’s perspective well I will say it’s it’s a wonderful punch of MSG I do taste a lot of MSG a lot of that Umami a lot of that deliciousness it is very chickeny tasting I think again that’s from the MSG I think there’s a little a little touch of white pepper which opens up for more flavors to be introduced white pepper tastes like chicken I agree and I find myself seasoning a lot of the time my chicken with white pepper and it really it’s almost better than black pepper I don’t know why exactly that is so white pepper versus black pepper it’s the outside so it’s the berry so it’s the pepper Berry when it’s dry they remove the outer black um outside of it so it’s got like less to me of a fruity taste to it it’s less P well the thing is it’s less pungent but it’s more spicy agreed agreed agreed so you get less of that like Fruity uh almost tanic pungency but you’re left with some of that spice but to me I don’t know if they add a bunch of white pepper to things like Campbell’s chicken noodle soup but I associate the taste of white pepper with soup and I associate the taste of McDonald’s chicken nuggies with white pepper and those are really good also how do you feel about the breading I I think it’s I think it’s the best especially fresh hot out the fryer cuz it’s a it’s a wet batter yeah right is it are we sure look it you can tell it’s actually it’s actually a spilled our Wendy’s nuggies you can tell this isn’t a breadcrumb coating right there’s little airation there’s no breadcrumbs I agree there’s like ation in a wet batter and it’s actually really similar it’s effectively tempera yeah sure right it’s like cold water spices probably some sort of coloring and uh flour do they come Frozen yeah okay they’re certainly Frozen They’re Frozen they’re cooked and then they’re frozen again and then they’re shipped to the McDonald’s and then they cook them and you get an Ultra speed coating on it m and it l super well the interesting thing though yeah God this is good it’s making my my salivary gland go to overdrive yeah yeah me too but McDonald’s recently is introduced spicy nuggets have you had them I haven’t had the McDonald’s yes we actually ate them together didn’t we like a year ago they don’t taste right to me the spicy nuggets you’re right the Wendy spicy nuggets are great though because Wendy’s I associated with spicy nuggets but McDonald’s you don’t want ketchup which is this you want ketchup I don’t want ketchup okay this is Jack in the Box give me give me a jack nugie looking at this um it’s a dry breadcrumb coating super super fine breadcrumb smell it what does this smell like smells like chicken soup this smells like chicken soup I’m trying to figure out what the spice is on there smelling is it just paprika not too bad mhm I think I might I can’t believe I’m saying this I think I might prefer the coating of Jack in the Box a little bit more yeah I do like it the the Jack in the Box ones are much saltier which I like they have a dry breadcrumb coating to me it’s probably absorbed a little bit more oil mhm the meat is saltier the meat is also springier interesting thing about McDonald’s nuggets right mhm during uh it was was it God would it have been post superz me or pre I love super siiz me it’s one of my favorite documentaries super siiz me is it doesn’t pass any sort of scientific muster it’s it’s entertaining it’s very entertaining it’s so entertaining it’s is an incredibly entertaining doc um but super siiz me for people who don’t know Morgan sparlock what God 20 3 maybe yeah 2003 what a moment in time he ate McDonald’s for every single meal of the day for an entire month and if they ever asked do you want to superzee it for the Millennials watching you used to go to McDonald’s McDonald’s makees the highest margins on their drinks and their fries sure for a while every time you got a $1 McDouble they actually lost money wow was only through the drinks and the fries that they’re making money so if you pay any amount of upch charge for any amount of sizing difference they’re still winning that’s how cheap soda water and syrup is that’s how cheap potatoes are you know what my favorite part of that whole documentary was when they had the panel of kids and they showed the kids like pictures of Albert Einstein and they’re all like I don’t know and then when they saw pictures of Ronald McDonald they were like a Ronald McDonald what does that prove why should kids no Einstein are I don’t know something like that I’m not sure if it was when you teach the general theory of relativity to a child when you’re seven God guess I don’t know but well let me tell you something about these Jack in the Box ones uh like you said there’s less MSG so they taste less chicken they’re less chickeny tasting than the McDonald’s more salt a little bit more spice less comforting I was talking about super SES me sorry McDonalds went through a crisis after that it was a huge PR crisis because he gained a ton of weight and his like liver started failing I think he also struggled with alcoholism for a while he work out no didn’t work out at all and basically at the end his sex drive went down I remember that when it was like sex drive there’s a fantastic episode of a podcast called high maintenance or no sorry maintenance face yeah you love maintenance face um that yall should listen to about that documentary and it’s really fascinating goes through all of the confounding variables that would have happened um but it still had a massive effect on McDonald’s and so they went all white and meat on their chicken yeah I like hey healthier but you know what’s so funny actually when I was reheating these link told me he’s like did you know that they used to do dark meat every now and then I’m like oh I had no idea that it was dark meat in the chicken nuggets he’s like no they changed it so link actually spread some knowledge on me it’s literally lighter in color you can see how light um McDonald’s is but if you know know anything about if you know anything about white meat chicken there’s like no fat in it so if you try and grind it into like a sausage cuz this is nuggets are filled saus yeah nuggets this is sausages this ain’t what real chicken meat that’s why so Snappy it’s so Snappy um but white meat doesn’t have any fat to it so what they do is they just blend the skin right in there oh really smart isn’t it it’s kind of delicious I know I love nuggets I’ve always been a nugget girl where do you rank between Jack In The Box and McDonald’s McDonald’s before Jack in the Box yeah same right yeah yeah yeah moving on to Wendy’s sure now Wendy’s is known for their spicy nugs here you go I grew up probably going to Wendy’s more than any other fast food restaurant except for really I never went to Wendy’s right by my home I’m so sorry for all the eating noises you’re going to have to deal with it I don’t know I don’t know what to tell you um there was a Wendy’s right by my home and you can see that the visible specs of black pepper in there and they’re dollar it’s not doing nothing the dollar menu was the best you got a cup of chili and a junior Caesar salad that had bacon bits on it and a baked potato and a cheeseburger for $4 four for four it’s a whole meal was that the four for four but you could also get eight for eight or one for one cuz it was just a dollar at the time but then they introduced the 4 for four oh did you ever put the chili on the baked potato all the time this is excellent you don’t like this Wendy’s nugget I hate this Wendy’s nugget why do you hate the Wendy’s nugget I don’t love it it’s Sumptuous it’s spiced it’s got aous It’s the opposite of sumptuous can I have the Jack can I have the Jack in Box one I want to compare it’s hard and it’s it’s unenjoyable and it’s it’s a it’s weak the Nugget is weak Josh the W the Nugget is weak I was about say the wget is NE Wendy’s looks pretty pretty white me too I wonder if they created an arms race after McDonald’s went all all white yeah to where now other places needed to use that as like a buzz word which it does not change the overall health of the Nugget whatsoever you like this more than Jack in the Box hold on I don’t like this more than Jack in the Box Jack in the Box they’re very I think Wendy’s has more either water or fat emulsified into their meat but Jack in the Box has more seasoning I agree with that makes for more pleasant you need that much seasoning on your on your nugie yeah all right but it’s okay Josh we can disagree and still be friends I need to con every few episodes I need to remind you um what should we move on to next Nuggets also used to be an Entre what do you mean they used to be Andre you would get nuggets and fries and that was a meal you drink a coke with it still do that who doesn’t do do that but they started adding nuggets as a side deal I think that’s what it is I think Americans are we we got bigger as a species humans yeah you know Napoleon tiny little man even though he wasn’t really that tiny he was like 5’8 or whatever but Napoleon was 5’8 I believe Napoleon can you Google I think nap come on the show 53 no I swear Napoleon was like not that small especially compared to the time and kind of became a weird little inside joke dude Napoleon bonapart height weight vertical jump broad jump three cone drill I want all of Napoleon’s NFL combat he was between 52 and 5’7 okay I’m going do that mean between 5’2 and 5’7 I think he’s probably 5’4 then they say based on those calculations he was a short King he was a short King he was a short King no Jam Jamie Jamie Jamie Jamie Jamie can you Google average height from like uh early 1800s oh God it’s right here important to me yeah it says French the average for a Frenchman in the early 18th century is slightly over 5′ 5 in yeah and you know why cuz they weren’t eating nuggets with their burgers they were tiny people average height for an American what 5’9 5′ 10 I couldn’t tell you 5′ n we’ve grown 3 in because we started eating chicken nuggets as a side door our hamburgers how tall do you think I am oh this is the most sexist thing about me what I can’t estimate the height of women oh but come on you’ve know me for five years every guy ask me anybody in the office how tall how how tall is is colby colby is 5′ n how tall is Jordan blazic blaz is 5’1 how tall is Christian Rodriguez Christian Rodriguez is 5′ 7 how tall is Brian Flanigan Brian Flanigan is 6 feet exactly see I can do ask me any woman um how tall is who work who works here name a woman Nicole name a woman Jamie Pinger how tall is is Hitch no idea how is Nicole batty yeah I don’t I don’t remember cuz he’s how tall is Lily no I I have no idea how tall you are Lily’s what like 5’3 5’2 how tall am I 5 five from 53 and a half that’s like basically 5’5 I don’t know what to tell you um but no chicken nuggets are sides now which I think is great because I like that it’s better than french fries no you got some protein in there it’s good for you I guess so I don’t know depends what your goals are you know I only eat to satisfy my 2 and a half hour workouts in the gym in the morning that’s wild to be clear an hour that is mostly stretching and me just writhing around on the ground trying to like stretch different areas of my pelvis differently what are you talking about all my back issues are because of my pelvis is it really yeah pelvis it’s all just it’s all muffed up as the doctor say you got your pelvis is all muffed up mu up you got mu mued up pelvis there’s no way a doctor said your pelvis no it’s all like no they’re like oh you have uh overreactive anterior pelvic tilt or something oh I also have a pelvic tilt you know we have to do you got you got to tilt it the other way that’s what I’ve been doing that’s what I do for like an hour a day and so I need nuggets so do you do this hold on sorry Jamie uh for those on audio only Nicole is uh Nicole what’s the verb that you’re doing right now I’m tucking my pelvis Nicole’s tucking her pelvis in the middle of the podcast we’re and now we’re just talking about okay I’m sorry Burger ging this podcast got a little crazy I haven’t had a chicken nugget in months are you like a child who just had a bunch of red Dy 40 yeah M why do I like why do I like the crappy ones so much oh never it was good in the beginning that was bad Burg got the most black pepper they always have God dang it I don’t like this one I’m getting a deeply roasty flavor from this me too in a way that almost distracts from the chicken I don’t think it’s roasty I think it’s uh dirty fryer oil yeah that’s what it is yeah that’s what you’re tasting we do occasionally have confounding variables on this podcast yeah yeah yeah oh shoot we forgot the KFC we just glazed over the KFC I want to go back to that okay um Burger King nuggets to me have have always been very very heavily flavored Burger King they got a giant chicken nugget sandwich that I really love is that the original BK chicken sandwich not the chi oh the long one the long boy long chicken long boy right they’ve made uh the chicken into the shape of a chunka and they’ve deep fried it and they put it on a hugi roll with lettuce and mayonnaise in last time the hottest lettuce on the Block last time I they must have the fryer must have been cold or the chicken extra Frozen and s in there a long time and they put that straight out of the fryer onto the bun I could see the fry oil seeping through the lettuce into the bun that’s actually nasty it was so I could have used a squeeze of fresh lemon but it was good and I should have gone to like the Iced Tea Bar or whatever and just grabbed a lemon wedge but it was such a good sandwich it was good just grease log their their chicken is like really well spiced at Burger King I didn’t like this though these nuggets I maybe you think you could actually tell the difference between Wendy’s BK and Jack that one that’s gross no Wendy’s BK and Jack do you think you can actually tell the difference between them because they’re very similar they have very similar methodologies very similar spicing slightly different Sal levels can we play a game of three of like three nugget Monty I don’t know how to play card games that’s not no what what’s the thing where you put the balls in the cup isn’t that called three cup Monty is that what it’s called J look have three cup Monty you know like Street Hustlers Aquafina in the beginning close my eyes do I want to close my eyes she’s speaking with an upsetting accent all right do I want to close my eyes close your eyes okay all right Nicole coming in are you feeding let the record show are you feeding I’m so sorry I got to reach around the mics which one do you think that was this bad um I think that one wait let me I have to eat all three of them yeah yeah correct correct we’re playing a little game right now to show how similar fast food nuggets are all right number two coming in scared just don’t play too far in okay sorry it’s on your laptop the Nugget fell out of Nicole’s mouth because I was trying to be Ginger and respectful do you have any idea which that which one that might be no I’m waiting did it taste different from the first yes are you sure yeah the texture is so different okay look at number three coming in I’m so sorry I’m sorry open it just open just you don’t have to eat it if you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to I don’t think I’m forcing you I don’t okay nugget number three is in there the bab the baby took it latched Nicole latch to the Nugget God this is so weird they’re going to make memes about me I don’t think so I don’t flatter yourself when I said that not like don’t flatter yourself based on how you you’re it’s I mean don’t flatter we don’t have that many fan like we do and we love you but like it’s not you know can I open my eyes now yes you could have always opened your eyes Okay okay so the okay so the first one I ate yeah was Burger King the second one I ate was Jack in the Box the third one was was Wendy’s you switch Jack In The Box and Wendy’s but you did get Burger King and you did immediately go it’s bad it’s bad yeah that was my that was my natural response oh my God this is the one this is the one I’ve been waiting for I’ve never had one before you never had a a your chicken no but let me tell you one time I saw a video on Tik Tok of a of a lady feeding her dog one of these and said you can only have a bite if you just bite the corner and the dog went like this really it bit the corner oh my God these are so good you think these are good oh my so good why it’s hot yeah a lot of the other ones are cold um this to me is just like drastically under season these are meant for children though this on the kids okay maybe that’s why I like it what’s your problem these are fried very blonde yeah they’re so good they remind me of frozen chicken nuggets from like these remind me of dino nuggets do you think the star shape makes a better product yes why position it makes me feel like a young spring child and you can latch on to this well I it’s so good I get Dino nuggies right Dino nuggies are fun but they’re all basically the same shape they’re like they’re all still lumpy though there’s three different there’s a Stegosaurus and there’s a T-Rex and then there’s I don’t know probably some other one I don’t remember the one with the long neck long uh I feel like we used to go on brontosaur and now people I hear Allosaurus more more cons Nancy rean do you get it the the yeah the um goat of throat um I think the star shape actively detract from the Nugget experience you think it where too much breading too much breading too much breading not enough Sumptuous meat product in there let see if I can suck out some meat juices to it you’re tripping you’re tripping oh this is you know what’s messed up what if you sort of latch your teeth and just try and suck out the juices you can do it it’s good for latching I told I literally made that point do even hear can I ask you a real question do you hear me when I speak yes Maggie so we’re oh man we’re shooting two a podcast back to back and sometimes when that happens we get a little unhinged in numero do I think we’re hinged man I’m Hing oh oh my God it’s time for KFC are these nuggets or are these like chicken you know what I mean yes Maggie this is chicken No like is this like chicken breast or is this like nugget form right into it cuz it feels like it’s chicken like a piece of chicken these are the nuggets from Kentucky Fried Chicken oh my God it’s so good but that’s because it just a it’s just a piece of chicken it’s not it’s not ground it’s not ground so talking about different chicken restaurants having beef ha with each other KFC they’re coming for Chick-fil-A’s neck Chick-fil-A has nuggets which are just little fried pieces of chicken breast that’s why I didn’t get it because I thought my brain was like oh these are chicken bites which is what they’re called on the menu and I’m like oh that’s not a chicken nugget wait at KFC they’re called nuggets though look the bo says on the box these are violently salty I like it it’s good it’s just violently salty I feel like it’s been injected with like salty liquid I think it has in like salt water in fact um yeah I mean it’s delicious you get the 11 herbs and spices KFC the seasoning on their chicken is much like Nancy Reagan goated right like it’s it’s tough to beat yeah it is it’s like it’s so aromatic it has its own distinct smell you can smell KFC from a mile away it’s like smelling Subways bread except KFC actually makes you want to eat it but these aren’t nuggets right a nugget there’s no strict definition of what a nugget is no these unfortunately we need to DQ them I think we have to DQ the KFC nuggets unfortunately but I didn’t want to talk about these because For the Longest Time KFC has had popcorn chicken oh that’s right that’s right but I guess they’re just rebranding huh popcorn chicken was a little bit smaller than these nuggets I love their popcorn chicken I do too I and I feel like the popcorn chicken was better than the Nuggets right I don’t it’s been so long since I’ve taste them I can’t even remember what the popcorn chicken tastes like oh I just bit into a part of the chicken nugget that was like a gusher of fry oil uh it exploded in my mouth and it was good good well you like the taste of oil soft food sometimes yeah what do you going do um so they had to Rebrand their popcorn chicken making it a little bit bigger and to me worse serving it in a worse package yeah to try and compete with Chick-fil-A who already to me is not making nuggets they were making popcorn chicken all along but they called it nuggets well no Chick-fil-A calls it chicken bites I already call chicken bites I told you he doesn’t listen to me when I speak it’s very frustrating also why do we eat like heathens like we like we eat like you did not get me a plate are there any other fast food nuggets that you think can compete with these we just order the closest ones to us for honest Sonic from if I’m going to Sonic I’m getting a chili cheese dog we went to Sonic one time F did we have a nice time not really did I do anything to actively detract from our time at Sonic no I just wasn’t feeling it well did you get a NERD Slush yeah we got a grape NERD Slush you don’t remember anything everything I tell you just goes it’s fine we do too many things I I I let me tell you I learned a lot today number one being I love McDonald’s for this true unadulterated nugget flavor because I think chicken nuggets tastes different than chicken you know what I mean I agree it’s like the way a br wear tastes different than a hamburger sure absolutely I I agree with that but I will say the chicken stars are a perfect kids food and no one what a perfect kids food it’s shaped like a star number one it’s shaped cool number two it’s breaded perfectly number three it’s not too toasted it’s not too oil loged it’s it’s breaded and it’s simple and it’s delicious and it serves its purpose you feed your kids some Stars they shut up in the back seat and you call it a day all these other ones you know they’re good for H they’re they’re good for like people but the stars are for the kids and it brings out the inner kid I used you know what I used to do after dance class every week my mom would take me to McDonald’s and I would get the chicken nuggets and I was a happy kid but now I don’t need them anymore I want to be star I want to eat the stars because they make me feel like a kid again and that feels nice Jack the Box put the most salt into theirs I like that they were like is this salty enough and they said nah Jack the box is very salty but it’s not MSG chick um McDonald’s has the most MSG and is the most familiar tasting Wendy’s too much black pepper Burger King literally oil sogged like the oil was old and the chicken stars are just flat out perfect and that’s how I feel about this whole ranking and tasting and testing today I ate too many nuggets I don’t feel good n do you feel that we can make an accurate ranking right now of all these I just did well no we got to put it in order officially okay fine okay so we’re going let’s move first of all pick up all the Nuggets put in I’m putting in the Nugget shards I’m putting the Nugget shards in the Box I’m sorry a lot of those shards are me but you know say rather A Shard than a shark so we had to drink a cocktail before this to taste test it and I think it’s hitting Josh I’m about to get thrown out of this bar man you think Jamie you think you can stop me over there huh okay let’s rank them how do you can you close that box please yes why are we closing the Box why do we okay to make it equal I’m just covered in grease and what feels like sand rub it on your shirt I’m like if I I don’t want to this is I don’t know how to get stains out of clothes so once they’re stained I throw them away Jamie threw a wad of paper towels at your foot thank you Jamie no problem this is a very professional podcast and people love it Joshy were talking about the Contra affair but unfortunately it’s just chicken nuggets it’s true I’m sorry Josh there’s so many crumbs um okay let’s rank them McDonald’s number one bang bang flavor gang as they say Nicole what you got number two bring me the those Stars you putting stars in number two I love the Stars I’m a star name the movie uh Superstar Molly Shannon all right number no no h Water World Kevin Kevin gosner oh sorry Dances with Wolves no pearl Pearl but I’m a star that’s a movie

chicken Stars I’ll honor it Nicole not mad about it you know why cuz I’m a star that’s from a movie called Pearl featuring Baby Burger King end of the line which do you like more Wendy’s or Jack in the Box um I would like to honor Jack in the Box’s audacious salinity levels and I would like to put Jack in the Box in the three spot there you have it between wait you Burger King’s dead last for you obviously what do you mean you mean obviously there’s no room for debate here it tastes tell the food debate podcast it is I don’t know is it um I thought it’s just for us to hang out yeah basically these are our one-onone um Burger King because it tasted like burnt fryer oil Josh what are you talking about it’s not endemic to Burger King you know that’s the burger K it’s not endic to Burger King Burger King we went to at burnt fry oil but to me it’s such a lateral move between Wendy’s and Burger King I would no way no way say Wendy if if we’re talking about my own personal rankings here okay no one cares about that we’re together you can’t put your person listen you can’t your your your view point is very American you’re only thinking about your own selfish point of view have you ever thought about maybe thinking about the collective for the greater good workers of the World Unite you have nothing to lose but your chains want the best chicken nuggets at home no drive-thru needed the spork team has tasted and ranked the best frozen chicken nuggets available at your grocery store head to sport.com and search nuggets to find the full ranking all right Nicole heard what you and I have to say now it’s time to find out what other wacky opinions are rattling out there in the universe what time you to check opinions are like [Music] C but Nicole before we get to everyone’s favorite segment opin like Cass RS we have everyone’s fourth favorite segment which is review or review that’s right there’s only three segments yeah I think the intro I think the several ad breaks where we’re talking about like um Whole Foods fresh fish offerings I think those are people’s third favorites um I really do love their fish counter that’s not a pay SP love me some Whole Foods fish dud they do good work uh this is from hammock girl Studio I’m trying to read it’s hard uh five stars I want them as my best friends I have listened to the podcast we’re laughing

cancer son I was a lobster child every summer in my youth the damage has already been done let me absorb my vitamin D in peace LOL during the winter I listen usually when my stupid ADHD wakes up at 400 a.m. some song playing so loud in my head I can’t go back to sleep it’s funny it’s informative and you get weirdly invested in Josh and Nicole’s lives give it a shot I hurt this podcast Nicole um

more than everybody in my life more than my fiance Julia in fact um Che what my friends have taken to doing which I really appreciate is that especially the ones that are more aggressive about like hey let’s on my weekend to UCSB let’s plan but I don’t text them back they text Julia now as a isn’t fair to put her as my schedule coordinator but it’s okay it happens I’m also not really but kind of David’s schedule coordinator like people just send me like evites and paperless posts to me because they know David won’t look at his email is this why there’s a male loneliness epidemic maybe maybe are you can we change I give I give this review five out of five because I learned so much about you you you you review you reviewed yourself hamit girl student studio and I learned a lot about you I feel like we could be friends you seem weird you should we sunscreen though what the heck just I don’t like normal friends where what do you mean none of my friends are particularly normal and I struggle to hang out with normal people but see I don’t qualify as your friend right no you’re weird as hell you’re so weird no I’m not aren’t you the weird one of your friend group yeah right so well I don’t think I’m weird I just think I’m unique yeah what I mean someone thesource.com unique and like weird comes up oh man I think it’s good it’s a good quality in person think we’re not friends no we are friends you said we’re not even if either of us leave this you know job like we’ll still maintain friendships we became friends because we work together yeah which I think that’s a real friendship do you yeah I’m not blinking hard my physical tick is not showing right you’re doing really good God I had to Blink uh let’s get to that first opinion first opinion Josh aren’t real friends hi Nicole my name ISO and first off te food and hot mayo Josh hot take is that ketchup while it is great it gets progressively worse as you age I always expected amazing but it’s never as good of a condiment as I expected to be I’m also a student at The Institute of Culinary education if the myal kitchen is ever looking for another Kitchener you know call oh cute anyway love the Pod uh Ranch doesn’t belong on pizza right whoa you son of a b you snuck it in at the end how how as I hold a Hines tomato ketchup packet in my hand clutching it tight as though it were the Heart of a Lion I love ketchup um he said that ketchup doesn’t taste as good as you age right I haven’t aged in like 10 years but you have yeah like the I am I am emotionally to what are those they’re like the ends of your neurons that Fray and they make you die telr you like the ters are faying V vill what’s a telr can I throw this at you yeah go for it perfect so uh no there’s a reason that ketchup tastes better when you’re a child and it’s because children are more genetically predisposed to enjoy sweet things and also not like sour sour things but like acid and sugar tastes really good to Children yeah right that’s cuz sugar is good for development like also like when I was a kid like I never liked mustard and then I grew up and now I like mustard in part because your taste are getting less sensitive as you age and M maturing and so things like shout Ariel Johnson things like those sulfuric um volatiles mustard is has a ton of that those sort of mellow out and become more pleasant also your pette gets more educated absolutely right and so when people say like ketchup is a children’s condiment it’s like well I still love it as an adult but you’re you’re right it’s it’s quite sweet it’s a little bit acidic I think I’d rather dip my fries in a spiced mayonnaise instead of a ketchup I still love ketchup though me I love ketchup too I eat it a lot but I would say like spiced mayonnaise probably um shout out to Institute of Culinary education we got two uh IC IC alums on the squad right now yeah we love we love culinary school kids great pretty good at cooking man you guys are teaching good stuff uh Ranch yeah probably doesn’t belong in pizza but I like it I love ranch pizza hey my name is Nick uh I live in Oregon but I’m originally from Wisconsin and people here don’t seem to understand when I talk about cheese being squeaky do you guys know what squeaky cheesec curs are and if so yeah just talk about them I guess I like cheese Curts you know what he’s talking about right yeah cheese Curts but like the squeaky the ones that have this sort of rubbery quality to them yeah those are the ones that I know and love yeah but I I feel like I don’t know squeaky cheese curds as endemically I said endemic too many times today yeah I don’t know cheese curds as intimately or squeakily as like a Kea person right we didn’t because we yeah exactly we didn’t grow up with it but you have’t it’s good sure but like uh the way an Italian could eat a noodle and be like that’s El Dente the the way a Taiwanese person could eat a noodle and go like that’s QQ you know what I mean like they have that in their DNA because they grew up eating that kind of stuff and they are probably very Discerning about it ditto with Canadians and squeaky cheese curds cuz if you ever get get poutin that does not ptin that does not have squeaky cheese on it they get all mad they’re like you know quill horror as Nicole would say and so I know what you’re talking about but it’s not something that a majority of Americans do maybe Wisconsin they’re also very attuned to it but I don’t think squeaky I associate squeaky cheese curds with Montreal rather than Wisconsin um I agree I haven’t had too much squeaky cheese but it is a very pleasant eating experience when you eat squeaky cheese I love a mouth feel man I love mouth I love it it’s it’s so it’s a fun food to eat cuz you’re like cheese shouldn’t squeak like that but it does and it’s good it’s cool it’s cool how cheese can do that cheese is a really like hot take here here’s my hot take what is it cheese pretty cool I oh my God pretty cool we did that pretty we did that as hum I am a big cheese fan it’s the one food I don’t think I could live without that is why why dude do you feel that cheese is more of a women’s game it’s like a drug I know so many like self-identifying chees be words they call themselves cheese it makes the neurons in my brain that you were talking about unfreight it makes them come together it makes me feel good wow the Benjamin buttoning of cheese it makes me feel I love eating cheese pretty cool that we just rotted milk and then mashed it together andd art to it yeah we made a whole thing put it in caves and then like the differences between them right a cottage cheese versus like a halumi crazy that those are still the same food love I love oh halumi is pretty squeaky that’s why that was making me think of squeaky cheese Lum is pretty squeaky pretty squeaky paneer not as squeaky nice nice but not squeaky yeah hi my name is Hannah I would like to petition for sloppy Sunday to be raised to the same level and Global phenomenon as Taco Tuesday um every Sunday my boyfriend and I make different versions of Sloppy Joe’s so we started regular Sloppy Joe’s we got Southwest slpp Pizza sloppy Joe Barbecue Sloppy Joe’s um you can really do anything with it you want a Mushu pork sloppy joe you Fork sloppy joe Greek Sloppy Joe’s honestly a sloppy joe is what you say it is I would like and get floppy Sunday to the official food of Sundays thank you so much as a side note um loose meat sandwiches Iowa really just get out of here they’re not on the same level as floppy Jo thanks so much what do you what do you want to say about this I don’t know if we can officially say this but this is this is the best opinion that’s ever been shared in the history of opinions to like C this is the best idea I feel passionately about sloppy Sundays I wanted can send us your address I’d love to send you like a medal or something because that this is the greatest idea I’ve ever heard okay no aside from this podcast like yeah I think I think they deserve it cuz that’s like a great idea I think it’s a great idea is it metal worthy when the last time you ate a sloppy joe have you ever eaten a sloppy joe recreationally not on the show never never never well you okay you keep inviting me over for Shabbat and I never accept I’m going to start inviting you over to my new weekly religious tradition which is sloppy Sunday okay cool we’re because we’ve do you remember the internationally inspired sloppy joe that we made on the on the television show The miso one it was like a miso pork ground pork tonkotsu scallion soft boiled egg it was really good it was great damn good it was really damn good and we could be doing that every Sunday instead I’m over here I’m I Sunday scaries yeah I little Sunday but I’m roasting chicken on a bed of fenel and potato I could have made Sloppy Joe’s oh my gosh I want to eat a sloppy joe right now what’s your dream sloppy joe right now I don’t have I don’t I don’t know I was going to say a quote from True Detective and say I don’t sleep I just dream but that does not apply here my favorite quote from True detectiv stop saying weird shout out won um God yeah I I am very excited by this idea I mean I’m what do I want in a sloppy joe I don’t know but do you remember whenever I first started working here I didn’t know that a man witch didn’t involve ground beef yeah you thought the can of Manwich surely they could be putting the ground beef in the can I think well if they can do that with horel chili yeah I mean horel chili is very similar like I really want to make something to the equivalent of like uh be Bea brazing liquid CH pure just hack up ground meat some onions they’re kind of I mean it’s basically given it the flavors of chili but pack all that flavor in there to where it’s kind of a a mass of ground meat that you can slop into a a bun and just I mean I’m into it have we done will habanero pickled onions a little bit of avocado on there have you done will it sloppy joe on like the Escabeche onions you know what I mean with the like God that sounds great man I it’s basically the Bell beefer from Taco Bell but yeah sloppy Sundays it adjourned I sloppy Sundays I decree that it is now every Sunday will be sloppy Sunday and I’m going to say I’m going to do that and then I’m going to forget and then I’m going to like unreliable make salad on Sunday Sunday is a good salad day for me cuz you know you get a little scared about the week you’re like what can set me right well salad well on that note you want me to
