dog is a sandwich ketchup is a smoothie yeah I put ice in my cereal so what that makes no sense a hot dog is a sandwich a hot dog is a sandwich what Welcome to our podcast to Hot Dogs the sandwich the show we break on the world’s biggest food debates I’m your host papy the sailor man I don’t know if you noticed but my expression automatically changed when you attempted to do like a silly voice my wife’s name is olive oil she’s got a wasting disease you know I have growths on my forearms you think he was allergic to spinach you know yeah was causing a lot of inflammation in place had an orary disposition uh and bulb his forearms he has the forearms of Devon lorat and I’m your host Nicole Ani professional arm wrestler Devon I’ve seen his videos you seen him mhm oh my God large large arms lock up lock up bro let’s go over the top Josh ising me want to AR Josh is asking me to arm wrestle should I do it chat should I do it chat this is just an excuse to hold thing do it you got a posture you got to posture you got to okay I don’t want to be enough enough rough housing and horsing around Nico we have a very serious debate to get to and that is taking the new kid on the Block Raising Canes a just a young 28 years old Prime of raising kanes founded in 1996 Baton Rouge Louisiana on the campus of LSU by Todd Graves that’s incredible he was a he was a young college student when he did this he so he initially this is coming from this is all propaganda this is from the raising can’s website but also true they say that he uh put together a college class project uh for a restaurant that only served chicken fingers okay and apparently according to the website he got the lowest grade in the class because it would never work and that was a stupid idea and then he opens Raising Canes in 1996 told you on a college campus I believe went to University of Georgia though now he’s on Shark Tank um because Raising Canes like as one as the as one of the um the Sharks as one of the he’s a shark he is so so much chicken that he is now a shark every entrepreneur dream Raising Canes they are one of the fastest growing fast food restaurants in the history of America post Malone loves them post Malone loves them uh Raising Canes is doing crazy crazy numbers poy is also a Louisiana based fried chicken restaurant love that chicken for papy and I really do uh popey is Al Copeland 1972 not named after Popeye the Sailor Man actually okay uh named after this is one of my dad’s favorite movies popey Doyle from The French Connection I never saw I’ve never heard I’ve never your dad loves The French Connection he does how do you know that about my D dad all dads Love The French Connection they love Jean Hackman your dad loves Jean Hackman yeah well my dad well we’re we’re in Indiana Jones family okay so I’ll see if there’s Crossover with the French Connection at Indiana Jones there must be it is pretty funny though that the French Connection I think comes out in 71 Al Copeland opens Popeye’s Chicken in 1972 and I’m wondering likeing man what that would be for us like if we open like an Austin Powers poke Bowl restaurant and like you know 2007 after uh Gold Member comes out who was ao’s character in Bottoms I don’t remember whatever her name was in Bottoms will open up a restaurant a Shiva baby themed Jewish deli the Shiva baby it is it already is but yeah fair point but uh popey I mean they’ve you know been around for 55 years at this point and they had a massive explosion with the chicken sandwich oh yeah big time we’ve talked about it adium I’d say on this podcast at nauseum kanes has a sandwich now too cuz everyone seems like they need one to compare but I’m really curious to see how these stack up next to each other we got chicken tenders against chicken tenders and then we got sandwich against sandwich we got kosa against COA we got sauce against sauce I’m really excited to dive in here got that like delicious uh Split Top Texas toast biosi looking bun you know you know what you know what grinds my gears the sandwich that they have on their menu It’s like a burger bun with lettuce what I would have done is just take the Texas toast and make that into a sandwich with the coasta and the sauce on it I don’t know why they they did this it makes me angry and sad and I want to talk about that yeah should we leave should we step out take a breath cuz I’m mad too now I’m mad too especially cuz I think this is disrespectful to Armenian people what are you talking about let me explain so the hear me up the Nashville Hot Chicken boom I think you know where I’m going with this there was a massive boom in Nashville Hot Chicken Popeye’s KFC they’ve all sort of jumped on the train at some point um but in Los Angeles a lot of the national hot chicken spots are run by Armenian people a lot of them started as pop-ups and they would do the chicken tender sliders they realized the same thing that Raising Canes realized which is that like doing whole bone in fried chicken is not the money maker no right the tendies it’s the tendies that’s what a vast majority of people want myself I’m a bone in chicken guy right I love a sandwich I love a tender whatever I love bone in chicken more than anything but all these places they would make they’d call them sliders generally but their sandwiches would be on like a split top hot dog roll looking thing which is the way to do it I would say the way to do it the better way they drizz drizzle their spicy mayo or crack sauce or comeback sauce whatever you want to call it they got cane sauce of course over here Raising Canes but yeah it should be in that little bun and this is what most people I think do with Raising Canes this is what I do make a little sand make a little sand mhm right um where do you stand on raising on Raising Canes in general you know I haven’t had too much Raising Canes one did just open up in Burbank and the lines are intense police stationed there yes yes people were making illegal u-turns to get into the raising biggest problem other than wildfires is is u-turns illegal u-turns yes Raising Canes um in Jay Leno driving without uh proper license that guy doesn’t um um I think Raising Canes does a lot I think their sauce is pretty incredible I’ll would say that their sauce is like the perfect chicken dipping sauce what Popeyes has is more than just chicken I think they have their Seafood options which are delicious I love their little shrimpy shrimps phenomenal I think they have a panoply of sauces to kind of like fit you like choose your character sauce which I think is very very special they have that little seasoning packet uh cre sprinkle I think it’s called or whatever it’s called Magic or magic sprinkle incredible on just about anything um I think there’s a lot more variety at Popeye so you could go there and you could get a bunch of stuff you could get your bone and chicken you could get your tenders you could get your sandwich you could get your biscuit you could get your Mac and Cheese you could get your shrip like the shrimp with the pop I got the mac and just I put the shrimp on it like see like there’s those options there I think the menu at Raising Canes is limited but know that’s intentional it’s supposed to be a limited menu so it’s not too crazy and you don’t get too wild with it so I almost feel like they’re two different restaurants in in a way I know they’re both they’re both chicken shops but the variety at Popeyes kind of takes it over the limit for me I’d rather eat out Popeyes because there are more options but I will say just looking at the tenders there’s a clear difference there’s a clear difference so Raising Canes they’re they stake their name on the freshness of their tenders and obviously we got these delivered to a podcast Studio not the ideal way to eat a raisin canes that’s all right every time I’ve eaten a raisin canes I have been utterly impressed by how fresh the tenders are they’re pretty beautiful the thing I think they’re lacking to me is seasoning I I’ve always found raising can’s tenders to be like really well done but a little well cook like a good cook on them a good cook on them they always come out hot right it’s delicious but the seasoning to me lacks which is where popey’s really shines and the cane sauce for me I’m a a ranch and hot sauce guy when it comes to chicken tenders and so the cane sauce for me has never quite done it but I am fully open to being sued I am an open- mind in a sponga is that a sponge sponge that’s how it’s pronounced try the try the tender without any sauce on it very juicy so juicy the cook on the chicken’s brilliant the seasoning is not bad it’s not bad I’ve had so many worse chicken tenders in it’s mostly salt though the seasoning is mostly salt okay there’s no problem I have no problem with that the cane sauce where you’re supposed to get the flavor from that sauce is stupid good that’s dummy good what is in what is in cane sace Josh what is in this damn sauce I don’t I don’t want to be the naysayer here at all go go it’s okay go I don’t love cane sauce there’s too much too much too much ketchup for chicken to me what are you talking about this is ketchupy right am I not am I crazy no but it’s great what’s wrong with ketchup I I like ketchup there’s something and I love any sort of like thousand isy Mayo ketchup whatever me too to me this is like slightly on the wrong shade of pink oh you like and I know I’m I’m in the vast majority color that would be better for you I want honestly take take this throw I’m not saying they do this or they should but turmeric in there like give me a little orange no I’m saying give me a little orange this is like kind of a almost like a grayish like mauve I don’t have right am I crazy it’s not mauve it’s pink with with a little bit of gray spe speckling in there it’s not bad I want to do something Nicole okay crazy what are you going to do tender for tender I don’t think popey’s tenders are the best but also they’re like going to be what I go for okay and these are two Louisiana chicken shops ultimately against each other mhm dip a raising can’s tender in popey’s black and Ranch which to me might be the best fast food diping sauce for chicken okay let’s do it in the game they also got the Marty gr mustard in the buttermilk ranch but there’s no reason you would need to go to the buttermilk ranch over the black and Ranch hey I’ll say this the blacken Ranch at Popeyes and the cane sace are quite similar I thought they wouldn’t be that similar this no these are Worlds Apart no I’m talking in color they’re both pink sauces no but I’m saying there’s more orange look it’s I’m not crazy there’s more orange in the popey sauce making it a significantly more pleasant looking sauce okay but it doesn’t this is what I believe I don’t think anybody out there should have the same crazy beliefs that I do I don’t think you think the black and Ranch tastes better than the cane sauce are you being a serious person right now it’s so Bland it’s so flavorless compared to the okay and then and then uhhuh dipping it into the cane sace hold on I’m I’m trying them back to back for the first time oh oh yeah cane sauce is great it’s a million times better can I tell you what it is about the cane sauce celery salt this might be i’ I’ve always had the consp apparently there’s no celery salt in there but I’ve always had a conspiracy that there’s celery salt in there I think there’s celery salt in you think you’re tasting celery salt right there’s a reason why people get like like Diet Coke Fountain drinks and fill it with the cane sauce it’s really that good it is tasing it next to the black and Ranch from Popeyes which the black and Ranch from Popeyes comes in the sealed little container that has all the ingredients list on it Popeyes now has God 3,000 locations I think incredible and you look at the ingredients it’s soybean oil water vinegar corn syrup right that’s going to be the top ingredient for pretty much any hipping sauce yes any sort of package sauce like that yeah and also anytime you see soybean oil as an I’m want ingredient that means mayonnaise most likely right if you were to look at the ingredients list of cane sauce they would probably read similar because it’s obviously mayonnaise based but the cane sauce comes in just like a little Deli cup that You’ get at a family restaurant and it says cane sauce on the cup it makes me feel like they pour it fresh and it’s that’s what I’m saying I it it makes you picture somebody like whisking stuff together whereas the popey’s it’s there is something artificial tasting about the ranch you’re tasting that little bite of pure citric acid that they’re adding for freshness right where a cane sauce takes like it tastes like something your buddy Tim’s mom made to like dip her famous buffalo chicken dippers in least there’s thoughtfulness in cane sace that I don’t taste her famous buffalo chicken dippers are just like a Costco bag of anytizers that like she puts a little bit of like Tony sasher on yeah I swear did you try the uh the pope ice tender yet no should we dig again I tried it already that is unnatural shape of a chicken this looks like um the heptapod language from arrival the I will say the consistency of Cane’s tenders are great Popeyes has never had very consistent tenders and I do find them generally quite overcooked I agree with that try popey tender I agree with your mentality the seasoning on it is great the cook on it garbagio very overcooked chicken very however the dredge phenomenal the D phenomen the Dred is bomen Popeye seasoning Popeye’s dredge is perfect if you had Popeye seasoning and dredge with the raing can’s chicken and attention to detail dipped in the cane sauce I think it would be perfect I think so too but like fried chicken for fried chicken which one of these do you think is better which one would you gravitate towards based off chicken cookery alone yeah I’d have to say raisin cans you have to it’d be wrong to not is there like a thick well here’s a giant thick Popeyes tender I got a thick boy I got a thick boy tender are they cutting these in stores I wonder this is very heavily wet brind you can tell how wet brind it is because like the snappiness the snappiness the St of the chicken I don’t is this bordering on too salty the popey’s one popey’s is chicken tenders bone in chicken it works but there’s something other than Salt in there which I like there’s yeah there’s MSG there’s paprika there’s garlic there’s onion these are all flavors that equate with delicious chicken tenders but unfortunately the cook on the chicken takes away from it my world was really rocked when I looked up this is the type of stuff that rocks my world these days my world was rocked when I looked up Taco Bell’s top selling items and I thought I’d see cheesy gordor crunches and crunch traps and all that the top selling items are soft taco hard taco bean burrito by farh right 7-Eleven makes their money by selling cigarettes and lotto tickets right it’s not their egg salad sandwiches and whatever that’s all window dressing so all of this like variety at Popeyes that’s really cool right Popeyes doesn’t make any money selling shrimp what they do is they have an excuse to advertise hey new shrimp promotion at Popeyes remember Popeyes exists it’s the same reason Oreos makes all those stupid flavors oh it’s not cuz they’re having fun I’m sure the Nabisco Corporation also loves having fun but I’m saying Oreo isn’t like oh my God the bomb pop Fourth of July Oreos are going to make us billion pop Oreos Oreos they get of people new Oreos people get excited at the stores and then Oreos at top of mind so you think that’s what’s happening with Popeyes more or less right like they’re they’re nobody really wants a flounder sandwich from a fast food restaurant that often but they had to follow up their success of the chicken sandwich somewhere what you lose then is attention to detail and consistency right if you’re a restaurant and you can do one thing and that’s fry damn good chicken tender and put together this little home wi sauce with some little like Flex Flex there’s Flex I love the flex there’s Flex there’s black pepper there might be celery salt there’s there’s something it’s like this is great and and you can do that consistently abely the craziest thing about canes so canes right now um they’re I think 22nd ranked in terms of total revenue of all fast food restaurants all fast food chains in America Popeyes is 15th okay there are more than four times as many Popeyes locations so Raising Canes per unit does I think something like $5.7 million per unit which is about three times the average that is insane popey is like 1.8 so per store canes kills it because they move volume right because they’re doing just a few things they’re doing a they’re not slowing down to fry the shrimp you know they’re not slowing down french fry from from Popeyes how do you feel about how do you feel about their cajun fries it’s cajun fries against crinkle fries crinkle fries signify the death of American intellectualism I I agree but damn aren’t they tasty they got look some crannies if we’re talking sides do you go cajun fries or or crinkle cut fries I I mean to me it’s 10 times 10 times out of 10 cajun fries potato plus seasoning no that’s what I’m saying the crinkle cut fries at can’s crinkle cut does nothing for me it’s like a total Nostalgia thing cut fake crinkle cut is fake fake news I will say this Nicole though you love crinkle cutting your own vegetables and I have told you that I hate it but not fries though go crinkle cut anything except a potato yeah why is that because whenever you’re making a large batch of french fries you got to do it a lot but if I’m like making I don’t know like um like spring rolls and I just want to cut like a cucumber and a carrot I’ll do it but not like 40 potatoes that’s a fair point actually like I’m I’m willing to express my my love for someone and like small doses but not too much can’t they get greedy what of the bread option Nicole oh we got the Popeye’s biscuit you got a drink handy that’s a meme I’m dip it in my uh my lroy you know what a biscuit is what’s that it’s just a vehicle for eating baking powder you can taste the baking powder it’s butter and baking powder no it really is that’s all a biscuit is I don’t really care for it though I’m not a big fast food biscuit what what I do with a fast food biscuit is I drown it in honey and butter MH right that’s a great raw dog a biscuit no no no never raw dog AB biscuit um never K on the other hand this Texas toast is sexy yo this is a sexy bread the can’s bread it’s enriched it’s enriched white bleached flowers I don’t know if you know this what most people do Nicole is they estw the col saw I love the COA because it’s the what does aew mean estw they they they forgo it they pooo it they pooo it I am not here extra bread what eat a people Co [ __ ] to me is American ponchan ponchon are the uh generally pickled fermented vegetables and sides that go with like Korean barbecue or several other Korean meals this is all we get in America is colaw and that’s fine it’s great a crunchy I’m what are you I’m a hosta for coosaw I’m I’m also a a hor forut you want me to crack over popey slw I’m sorry did you say words to me this is the best bread I’ve ever eaten in my GD why is Raising Cane’s Texas toast so fire okay do you remember during the chicken sandwich oh my God it’s so good there’s a there’s a margarin I don’t know salty buttery goodness but I don’t know if it’s butter or if it’s um hydrogenated vegetable oil plus butter extract I like you know what it is it’s excellent dip it in the mayonnaise sauce when popey came out with the chicken sandwich and then everybody was like we got we got a race to make it make one I remember reading about Burger King and their CEO was like we went to 14 different pickle factories to find the right pickles so nerdy but so much of fast food is about sourcing I agree so much about any sort of food item 100% And so like you know the I don’t think Todd Graves is out there baking this bread in his own oven right but when they were deciding on a like National distributor for breads for raising canes whatever they chose it was the winner this is genuinely the best fast food bread product I’ve ever eaten right I think it’s probably number one this is nuts it’s really good and not that I’m like nud but this is the first time that I haven’t just like inhaled it while mashing it around a chicken tenderful yeah raising hands is thoughtful guys oh what this is great I know unbelievable I mean this is like if you made a lobster roll out of this bread you’d be a happy camper You’ be a very happy camper right it’s aad definit in the cane sauce I’m a being converted to a full Caniac over here dude me too I was I was Pro popy but now I’m starting to I’m starting to es skew s chew s chew can I tell you though why Popeyes has a certain Edge look at the color of everything everything at Popeyes is slightly oranger the SL and that makes you happy orange foods to me are the best yeah used to be all about Brown foods but now you’re not into Brown F well don’t say that I’m still a brown food guy um but no you know what I mean there’s that little orange of spice that invokes like oh there’s been a chili pepper in here there’s been a mustard in here interesting okay that is the whitest SLO I’ve ever seen it came well maybe because they want it to be white maybe they want it to be white nothing wrong with being white it’s fine just like don’t say it out loud it’s weird well this has purple in it a little bit of purple it’s a weird amount of purple I think it’s a I think it’s studded with purple like a like a beautiful diamond necklace with sapphires so when I was a kid we used to get what was called bagged American salad mix yeah me too we talked about this we have similar experiences although we have led different lives just two children of immigrants here you know my mom left South Africa in 1974 my mom is from South Africa was she really yeah she left when she was like 17 what I thought she was born and raised in America no man she had an accent your mother had a South African accent yeah not like that though it was more British I didn’t know that um but there was red cabbage a bagged American salad mix it was iceberg lettuce red cabbage in in carrots but yeah no carrots never had enough carrots 2% carrot 3% red cabbage 95% 100% Iceberg 100% Iceberg and like campact bacteria just sitting in the bag but none of us liked the occasional Shard of red cabbage we had an exotic lizard you had a lizard my dad was dating so many stories from my childhood don’t really add up my dad was like dating a woman with a weird son who I’m pretty sure sold drugs but anyways he moved into our studio apartment at one point and he brought a lizard and then he moved out my dad broke up with the woman and he left this weird exotic so we had like an exotic drug dealer’s lizard sorry a drug dealer’s exotic lizard um I thought I knew everything about you but we didn’t know what to feed it and we FedEd the red cabbage from our salad mix how long did it stay alive for a while I think we kind of just forgot about it what was the lizard’s name exotic lizard’s name I don’t remember Braxton or something probably Braxton extic exotic lizard you have so many great stories and so many not so great stories but that was a positive one I liked it I like the popey coosaw more reasing canes really does taste fresh their food really does taste fresh in a way that I I find the KLA from Popeyes to be fresher and crunchier you know why I think is it cuz it’s orange orange are you sure no popey I think it’s been sitting in the sugar and salt and acid and that’s been drawing out the moisture from the Cabbage maybe which literally makes it crunchier in certain ways I like it more I do like Popeyes more I like I let my slaws sit let them sit overnight um we got try the sandwich I’m full you’re full Nicole you you’re at your job like sometimes at your job people get bored but you still have to put together the TPS reports at our job you’re I mean go to your level of comfort don’t do anything you’re not comfortable with at our job we have to eat what’s a TS report TPS report I don’t know I only know the reference from Office Space okay so I got us a classic sandwich I didn’t get the spicy which I know shame on me big breast Popeye sandwich they made a big breast shiny bun don’t ever look at me and say big breast again okay I’ll sue you I’ll sue feel good man I want to po chicken sandwich I want a for sure pickle remains I want a pickle for sure the best in the game I will say they had better quality control of just like so if you get a perfectly cooked breast in that popey chicken sandwich it’s the greatest thing I have never had a Raising Canes chicken sandwich I actually didn’t even know they had this I didn’t know either but there’s chicken tenders in the sandwich so if you like the cook of the chicken tenders chances are you will like the cook of this that is true and there is leaf lettuce I don’t like the leaf lettu crinkle cut fries leaf lettuce this there’s fries in the sandwich there’s a different sauce on this too I believe whoa on the top or is that just cane sauce that has dried out a little bit turn it around let me see no but you see that like kind of sugary I think that’s can sauce that’s been just can sauce that separated nice uhuh uhhuh how does the bread um standand up to the Texas toast that sandwich is you watched Taladega kns no but I’ve seen a lot of but I finished the righteous gemstones and I’m watching Vice princi right now what do those things have to do with each other what’s the link I was thinking like Danny McBride he’s not in Talladega Nights oh what it’s John C Riley oh did you think John C ry’s character was played by Danny McBride M it’s got a big Danny McBride energy I’m sorry may can you confirm that Danny McBride was not in tallad nights he really should have been been a great Danny McBride vehicle a little bit chunky cute funny sorry I got them mixed up don’t be mad at me be mad at the be mad at the context yeah no I don’t believe think so he was in it um sorry there’s a scene in Talla nights where sja Baron con is uh in the The Dive Bar and he starts playing jazs in the Jukebox and everyone freaks out and he goes W if you do not want people to play jazz why is it on the jukebox okay he said we only have it there to weed out people we don’t like MH uh that’s that sandwich they only have it on the can’s menu to weed out people that shouldn’t be at Raising Canes I agree uh right it’s a trap it’s a trap but there’s lettuce I understand why they had to do it sandwiches are selling lettuce does nothing makes everything worse um build your own sandwich with the Texas toast absolutely the move don’t don’t don’t give in don’t give in to the BS don’t fall for it you’re smarter than that what do you think so right now canes has like massive massive expansion PL PL not like massive like we want to take over the world and have 50,000 locations but they’re like we want to you know open up like raan can in Dubai I don’t I don’t know about their Dubai plans um but no they want to open they want to open up another like 700 locations in the next like 5 10 years in the US in the US and also keep same store sales above what they are now do you think that this can just keep growing or eventually are we going to like see a bubble cuz I thought like 20 years ago somebody would have told you what Starbucks is going to become would have sounded unreasonable MH yet Starbucks kept kept growing can canes do that although Starbucks got a lot more complicated I think if canes remains thoughtful and intentional with their menu are you going to throw up no I was just burping oh I think if they remain intentional and thoughtful with their menu as they’ve been so far I think they can surpass Popeyes but I think they need to realize what they have their core competencies and stick to that and just push that into the world but the thing the thing I’m worried about is you that thing about the Oreos you said about constant Innovation to remind people that they still exist how are they going to do that without compromising their core competencies I don’t know post Malone he can’t do everything Jos yes he can post Malone has he has new Oreos out too oh he does boy we love you man do they have tattoos on them or something what is it temporary tattoo Oreos what’s going on he literally did design the uh the the design on the cookie um posy you are holding up half of the food industry at this point soon we’re going to have Honey Bunches of Oats by post Malone lit postal Post Cereal post like come on we need you everywhere but Raising Canes if I was ever a skeptic before I’ve been fully fully converted to being a Caniac I will maybe bring my own blackening seasoning to dump on the chicken tenders um but I’m fully converted they are doing a wicked freaking job absolutely Raising Canes is doing it right still love Popeyes but eating that next to each other man that’s good tendy God I’m so full too what dessert options do they [Music] have all right now it’s time for a new segment called yummy and my tummy got some trivia for you that’s right robot meie has three questions prepared Nicole you and I will wait until the question is complete and then we will answer if wrong the other person gets a chance to steal for the point Nicole you ready for it yeah but I’m so full right now yeah she can’t think I can’t think I dragged her down into the mud you’re in my world now what determines the color of an eggshell oh shoot this is definitely something I should know h i i i have a yeah okay I yeah I have I have a one to say on three one two the breed the breed of chicken I don’t think it’s feed related I think it’s the breed of chicken we got feed and the correct answer is the breed of chicken well done man got him thank you thank you uh the color of the yolk has to do with feed the yeah I KN I knew that chicken fed with kelp has okay anyways what was the first vegetable ever to be grown in space Oh I know one two three Peppers the correct answer is the potato what wait why did we think pepper because we did an episode on this and then they cooked peppers in 2000 but that was NASA related but there’s a likelihood that other space people like Martian like Matt Damon pot maybe the Russians Russians and potatoes that makes sense maybe are you’re Googling it I’m I’m doing some Googling 1995 who did it did NASA did it NASA why did we why did we both go to pepper though because we did an episode on band space food and we did something about peppers for some reason that’s so interesting well yeah what are you going to do nothing lose do which country is the largest producer of olive oil I’m going to guess right here you think America I was going to but now I’m going to change my answer oh no that that’s a pretty I mean America produces a lot of stuff we have but I don’t olive olive Groves take a lot to manage I’m going to I’m going to make a I’m going to I’m going to I have an answer should I say my answer that’s it Italy I was going to say Italy too or Spain Italy or Spain uh I’m I’m going to say I’m going to say Spain I’m saying Italy then I’m fading her bet I’m saying Spain you can’t do that that’s not Spain I think is Spain bigger I’m going to go ahead I’m going to I’m going to I’m going to a mulligan a mulligan I’m going to say Portugal Port I’ll take Italy no no I take Spain definitely not Portugal I take Spain I take Spain a sea based economy the correct answer is Spain hey wait what did I say Italy a dang it so we’re we’re tied Spain there’s a lot more this open Farmland yeah yeah well what are you going to do let’s go to Spain let’s let’s I want to go to I let’s go SP and then we go to I party Nicole good show good show well you too you know what that means time well we do a segment it’s time I will say it’s a time for a little segment we call opinions are like [Music] cassero Josh before we do this I I have to get something off of my chest that that I I really want to know your opinion I know you want to know mine um I want to do an fmk you know what that means I do flirt Mary kill yeah yeah yeah yeah so since we were doing a whole thing about Popeyes and and raising canes let’s do it with chickens let’s do it okay so fmk bone in chicken chicken tenders popcorn chicken tell me your thoughts and feelings o well just a little flirtation here I’m going to go popcorn chicken you’re flirting with popcorn I’m flirting with popcorn chicken it’s not my m not my end all be all but just popping those little spicy nuggies in your mouth I’m killing chicken tendies oh I think anything a chicken tendy can do popcorn chicken can also do more surface area on popcorn chicken for breading as far as marriage the one that I want to grow old with yeah bone in chicken there’s nothing better than a bone in chicken thigh in my my opinion even a bone in chicken breast you get a better cook on that breast meat because of the proximity to bone no none of the best chicken tenders can ever hold a candle to the best bone in fried chicken what I’m what I’m learning about me and you is we have different definitions of marriage what’s your definition of marriage well you want to grow well like you’re like you’re like someone you just want to like grow old and like and like have like this long extended like long winded thing with for me it’s more like hey you’re there I love it that’s not mared that’s that’s that’s the F in fmk that’s like you’re here for a little bit temporarily I enjoy my time with you I want to flirt you the opposite I want to flirt the Shi double hockey sticks out of you maybe that’s something I have to figure out later yeah this sounds like you should talk to a therapist about yeah but um I would flirt with popcorn chicken as well because you can it’s now listen with chicken tenders you can’t drench them in sauces the way you can’t popcorn chicken popcorn chicken you can put mango habanero over it like boness win you saying you have more opportunity yeah yeah it’s Saucier and there’s more there’s more variety and I’m into that I’m going to kill bone and chicken because too much work that’s killing history I’m down all chicken is bone in chicken we forsaked God by removing I am here to forsake God in this conversation and then chicken tenders I’m I’m I’m going to marry them I’m going to marry them they’re there and they’re good and I love them and they’re in mass quantities and they’re always reliable and I love them so much chicken tenders were invented for children you’re marrying a child am I is that true I respect your opinions not the that but yeah let’s get into the let’s get it let’s hear it hi Josh hi Nicole and I am from Kentucky I have a hot take and tell me it’s about the hot brown I think that chipotle would just completely take over the game if they came out with a breakfast burrito I think you’re I’m talking gravy oh God hash browns sausage bacon steak eggs you name it I’m disgusted but I want it I just think that would be amazing God bless you guys interesting okay you know interesting God bless you sir cuz that is a good idea that we’ve thought about before um I don’t know if I would do an American breakfast I think I would go towards the Mexican like Canon of breakfast burritos I don’t know that there is a Mexican can and a breakfast burrito I think that’s a very American phenomenon the breakfast burrito so you think a breakfast burrito when you think of a breakfast burrito is is like um gravy and gravy is a wild card but they also have like the gravy takes the place of the queso on the current Chipotle bar but like see I wouldn’t do that what I would do is I would go with more Mexican flavors like I would do a chizo situation or like a machaka situation instead of like sausage links yeah I feel like they would have I mean what about bacon I would do bacon I’d like bacon Bacon’s a very American product obviously a lot of bacon is eaten in Mexico it is eaten in Mexico and it’s probably the most popular breakfast burrito meat that’s fine yeah but I would I would air more to the sides of well when you think of Chipotle you think of Mexican flavors right you’re founded by a guy named Steve from Colorado I understand that but still they just have white rice no you’re not understanding the flavors are Mexican so I think they would have to do Mexican inspired flavors for their breakfast burritos that’s that’s interesting the thing interesting I feel most breakfast even if you go to a Mexican restaurant right knows is watering like think about the classic Mexican restaurants in in a like the old school spots something like I know it’s called Lucy’s but they’re Mexican restaurant like Lucy’s you know like they have uh it’s it’s yellow cheese it’s scrambled eggs it’s bacon they have cheso for sure but that’s still just cheso with potato egg and yellow cheese and a side of salsa most likely they’re not doing I mean a lot of breakfast burritos have beans I love a breakfast burrito with beans in it I love like a ma MAA burrito I don’t even machaka is not even typically a breakfast dish in Mexico I don’t believe really why have I seen it on so many because eggs Americans only eat eggs for breakfast and it’s weird we’re the only country that does that I love a chile verde burrito chile verde breakfast burrito yeah I don’t know that I’ve ever had that I’ve had it the thing with the Chipotle breakfast burrito is you have to operate on a steam table yeah which is great for like beans and stewed meats and they work it with their grilled meats and the rice always comes out like solid edle a scrambled eggs in a steam table that’s reading straight like holiday and express continental breakfast but it’s good they can they can find a way to flip the script on they find a way to do it find way to Market it and it would be cool don’t wor and they’d be like do you want Mexican eggs or like normal eggs and they have like like the like weo Sal meana right tomato Chile Chile oh shoot Chile just a vat of Chile El they do they would do a vat of migas you know what I think that they do I think well I’ve seen at Whole Foods what they did a long time ago whenever they had those like specialty like bowls and whatnot they would have fried eggs ready to go wow they would like have a vat of fried eggs ready to go it would be great you know what I’ve done in a breakfast burrito cuz he said he said gravy and my mind was like that’s very normal but I see why you’d think it’s was weird because I once made a burrito at home which was like scrambled eggs cheese a dense sausage gravy so a lot of sausage and then I crumble I made biscuits just to crumble up inside the burrito so it was a biscuits and gravy burrito and it was gird it was G good GD does that good gird caner it gave you gird gave me GD uh interesting idea I don’t know if they’ll ever do it I think if they did do it it’d be in airports because they’re not contracted through the restaurant they do it like through their own system and so I feel like you could find a Chipotle that serves breakfast burritos and airports it’s my advice okay I love the red salsa hey Nicole wow it’s so great to finally speak to you hey Josh anyway my opinion is uh I think that pepperoni can be crisped up in a pan as a good substitute for bacon okay hey Notch it almost like you would tailor him and uh yeah anything you would normally use bacon for you can use crispy pepperoni you’re right love the podcast bye agreed agreed agreed agreed that the way he greeted me is such big like girlfriend’s girlfriend’s boyfriend greeting me energy oh so like like uh like like a friend of Julia’s boyfriend you know that I’ve never met before first time and the girl and the girl like oh my God hey oh my God Hi and then like me and the dude that have never met each other and he’s like what up there you what up and then later you I’m sorry that you got you you and those people have such shallow um initial no it’s not like it’s not no I’m saying it’s like a it’s like a never met you know it’s like a men were taught to treat other men as threats and not have a sort of warm intimacy with each other your husband is incredibly intimate do such an intimate Man David you’re you’re very intimate does he ever feel like any man is his like direct competion no no that’s actually one of the things I love most I guess I guess the men I surround myself with are not like that at all so I I didn’t understand the 20 minutes later you just go you play Fantasy Football and then I just go no I’m big into sports betting though and I go do you ski no deep conversations yeah why do people ask if people ski like do you think everyone’s rich yeah I who the ski were’re in Los Angeles I went snowboarding once when I was a kid with a borrowed snowboard from a basketball teammate’s dad who worked for a snowboard company how do you feel about this opinion though it’s good great yeah next he’s right you should say it more hey Josh hey Nicole hey megie um I’m calling from warm and sunny Indianapolis um proba of the show so much so I’ve shared it with friends and family but iing you’d be able to help me settle a debate that I Rec had with one of my roommates of course so basically I found out that he pronounces mayones as mayonnaise oh cut out like y o mayonnaise yeah but I’ve always pronounced it mayonnaise oh we both fully accept that they’re both totally incorrect pronunciations of Mayon but no one has time to say the full Christian giving name um but anyways I was really hoping you could help us settle the debate um thanks I love the podcast keep doing what you you guys are doing thanks thanks so it’s fascinating so it’s mayonnaise versus mayonnaise I’m confused what I think I found I think I found a graph a graph show me show me show me show me do we have it wait Nicole stall okay mayonnaise wait do it again mayonnaise mayonnaise mayonnaise okay so so so so I I have indeed found a graph here but it doesn’t seem to be a clean Regional split all so what you’re talking about there are um I’m trying to think of a good example there’s something called like the pin pen merger where like or or the the okay so Mary the Mary Mary Mary merger oh yeah you tell me about this okay right this is something where for me m e r r y m a r y and uh m a r r y all sound the same they’re all pronounced Mary Mary got married and had a marry wedding whereas for somebody from like the East Coast like my my mother-in-law Susan uh is from New Jersey originally and she would say ma Mary got married and had a merry wedding three different ways to pronounce it and you can see that on a graph geographically Regional accents are sort of like fading away but I thought that the mayonnaise mayonnaise mayonnaise might have had a a similar split but no I’m looking at this graph and the data all seems to be completely interconnected so what they graph are um two syllables as in mayonnaise which I would say mayonnaise I say mayonnaise you say mayonnaise I say Mayo so like mayonnaise two syllables mayonnaise you just said mayonnaise what’s name mayonnaise and mayonnaise the it was between Mona and Manon entirely different people pronounced two different names I guess you’re right mayonnaise and mayonnaise there’s no data get the mayonnaise can you get the mayonnaise get the mayonnaise I don’t know how do I say it I think I also interchanged I just say Mayo I I I generally say Mayo too but if you were to say say mayonnaise mayonnaise is two sybl say mayonnaise I think I say mayonnaise so are but are you slurring the third Sy sling but pronounce it very slowly mayonnaise slower mayonnaise two syllables so you’re saying mayonnaise I’m saying mayonnaise so you say so we have the same problem with these two fighting roommates in Indianapolis so mayonnaise versus mayonnaise yes but so I’m connecting the a with the man so may so instead of hold on so instead of saying Mayon I’m saying Mayon you know what I mean I’m combining the Mayo May the first two syllables I’m doing Maya and it’s Maya may I think I think you actually raised a good point you are I I do I’m smart you have an implied third syllable where I don’t yes I do I do I have always had an implied third syllable when I say mayonnaise 100% like um if somebody’s if somebody’s doing Mischief what is the adjective what are they huh God dang it I if you say somebody who does mischief they are a mischievous person say say it slower mischievous mischievous mischievous misch vs I Don’t Say mischievous I’m strictly a three syllable mischievous guy you this okay so that’s like a clear split in our cabic pronunciation right so you say this is a mischievous person you don’t say he’s a mischievous person you’re acting mischievous no you are mischievous you are act you are acting mischievously you’re acting David michely so I think the way to fix this because this is clearly a problem just call it Mayo just call it Mayo but congratulations so there’s what they graft here we have mayna a two- syllable mayonnaise because I’m completely forsaking the why I’m not pronouncing the May it is obviously may even though it’s named after a town in Spain that was spelled with an H Mahon MZ is that Patrick Mahomes got his name no that’s not where Patrick Mahomes got his name and God I hope this is I don’t know when this is airing after the Super Bowl but God I hope he doesn’t have another ring uh give it to Jaylen Herz um yeah J graph everybody pronounces it differently it’s split so evenly between a three- syllable mayonnaise mayonnaise and a two- syllable mayonnaise um yeah sorry we literally could not solve that whatsoever I just did I told them to call it Mayo do you see the distribu I’ve been on the same graph as you bestie I’m on the same gra as some show show them the graph I’m not crazy there’s a graph there’s a graph look at the graph look at this graph well I can’t believe we got Nickelback Patrick momes and mayonnaise all in the same conversation totally and David movich who’s that oh the Scientology guy I knew it bad person uh well I’m so sorry I really thought when you said I was hoping you’d settle a debate for me I’d be like of course we can thousands have asked us 100% success r no we don’t follow up with told you about pecan vers pecan I could have told you about any of that no not mayonnaise versus mayonnaise sorry bestie incredible well thank you so much for stopping by Hot Dogs a sandwich we got new Audio Only episodes every Wednesday we got videos
