It’s time to get spicy. My body is ready. My bathroom. Mm. Not so much. 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. A hot dog is a sandwich. A hot dog is a sandwich. Hahaha. What? Welcome to our podcast. A Hotdog is a Sandwich. The show where we break down the world’s biggest food debates. I’m your host, Josh Scherer. And I’m your host Nicole Enayati. And I’ll tell you what, my bathroom is actually ready on account of my bathroom has to be ready for all things at all times, Nicole. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Because see, we work a really weird job. Yeah. All we do is eat and talk and eventually when you eat well that has to go somewhere. And that’s somewhere is my bathroom. So if you’re in the UK, a brickshi. That’s a brackshir. Oh my God, Josh and I were talking about, the internet. Tell where I get a chicken and a carhol? Are you Catholic? No, I’m not binary. We’re in a silly, goofy mood today, and. We love, we love the UK area, we love Scotland, we love Ireland, and we love England. I love Northern Ireland as well. I’d throw them in there. Oh, uh, as long as well as the uk. Northern Ireland and Ireland are different? Oh, they’ve had years, decades of. Terrorism and infighting that they simply call the troubles. So North Ireland and Ireland are two separate places. So the country is technically called the UK and Northern Ireland, and then Ireland is an entirely separate country. And then there’s like what are kind of countries, but not sovereign states within the UK called Scotland, England, and Wales. Now they compete, um, independently at things like the World Cup and Football, but at the Olympics they’re the UK and Northern Ireland. I, Josh, I just learned so much. Sorry. Great Britain. Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Well, I’ll say this. This is absolutely nothing to do with the subject matter we’re talking about today, which is we’re pro chefs and we’re going to eat a bunch of spicy food from fast food restaurants and decide which one is the best. The spiciest, the one that will make us vomit in our mouth. Mm-hmm. Yeah, because I’m feeling a little vomit today. I am too. We’re procrastinating because neither of us really want to do this. No. Masturbating means something. So different. What’s procrastinating? Not pr. I said Reating. Oh, what is Reating? That’s even worse. Ew. No, don’t tell me. Okay. Anyways. Why not? If I said go away Bait. Do you know where that’s from? No. Oh, D Cracy Classic. You’re such a people. No, it’s a great movie. Um, no. Maggie Googled it. Oh no, I’m sorry, Maggie. Ew. It’s like a thing. Yeah, that’s disgusting. No, I’m not buying any. We are talking about the general paradox that exists within big chain, fast food restaurants of needing to create. Increasingly spicy foods, that’s, but then also making people’s tummy hurts inside their car. This is like a real paradox that exists where they’re like, we need to keep pushing the boundaries and making spicier things, but also, also at some point you get to a tipping point and it’s too spicy. Nobody wants it. So we have a panoply, a panoply, veritable peopple here. It’s crazy the amount of stuff we have of all of the spiciest fast food. Foods. I will say this, the majority of them are chicken, and one of them is a Burger Chen, very popular to make chicken spicy. Yes. But burgers not so spicy. Why is that? Josh? Tell the people. Um, there’s like the, the culinary debate of chicken is much more of a blank palette than beef. And I think people are less precious about the flavors that go on their chicken than the flavors that go on their beef. Okay. And then there’s the economic argument that I think. Is where this is all going. Mm-hmm. That most new menu items are going to be chicken or at least non beef because beef is so expensive to produce. Mm. Maybe that’s it. The lowest margins at any fast food restaurant is some sort of beef sandwich. Interesting. Which is generally called a hamburger, but I was also thinking of R Beef. Yeah. How can you not not think of Arby’s? I would love like an Arby’s. Fiery ghost pepper roast beef. That’d be delicious. Me too. I’m surprised if they haven’t done that yet. Well, they got buffalo chicken out there. I’d love me some Arby’s wet beef. Um, but yeah, that’s probably why the chicken’s here. But burger places don’t want you to buy their burgers. They want you to buy their fries and their soft drinks and chicken. Yeah. Um, so. Here we are. Let’s eat some. I don’t wanna do this. We have one that I’m really excited about. One, I don’t wanna do this because we have a new item from my favorite fast food restaurant of all time. But you have a favorite fast food restaurant of all time. I do. It’s the fast food restaurant that I eat at. What is it the most? It’s changed over the years, but now that I’m like an adult who kind of cares about my body a little bit more, and also my mind and I wanna feel good. We’re talking about the El Polio Loco. Well, this is the mango habanero chicken from El PO logo. Have you tried this yet? I have. I have tried it. Oh, I wish you lied. I know I should have said I haven’t, but no, I’ve tried it. I, oh, I actually haven’t tried it for real because I tried it with the sauce separate. I tried it with the sauce on the side, but this is the first time, yeah, this is on it that El Polio loca has really like sauced their chicken. I know. It’s exciting and then grilled it. This is exciting for me. This is exciting for me as somebody who I love Nandos, but. They love Nandos. They kind, I thought they were gonna try and infiltrate the US and really expand it. It sounds like Nandos is kind of outta the game. Is Nandos, are there any Nandos in la? Definitely not in la. Um, they’re in the US though. They were, but I, from what I’ve heard, they closed down some franchises in the us. They, they, I believe, started in DC in the US and I think, oh my gosh, they maybe opened some in Chicago. Mm. But I was talking to somebody in the industry and they were like. Yeah, I think Nando’s is on their way out. They’re trying to pull out, oh no. I love their per berry chicken. I still remember it from my Euro trip. I think Americans are weird about bone and chicken. But let’s, let’s try this. El po Loco mango Habanero chicken. Okay. ’cause I love bone and chicken. That’s all I want to eat. Pop it open. I’m gonna say the log line here. Add a piece of our fire. Grilled mango, habanero chicken. Perfectly sweet. Irresistibly spicy to your order. Choose from breast, wing, leg, or thigh. I think I got all of ’em. Mm. Oh my God. No, you gotta go dark meat only. Although I do miss the wings, but I did purposely get a mix because I always think that spicy works best with dark meat. Do you also feel that way? No, I think it’s good. I think it’s good on all of it. I just think, think dark meat works the best in my mouth. Oh, you just like dark meat, more love dark meat. All I want to eat are chicken thighs. I don’t even need the drumsticks. I’ll leave if I could do only thighs, which sucks. That thigh stop did so poorly. I’m sorry about thigh stop. Thigh stop was done. Great. We do have wink stops, so that’s exciting. Do you wanna touch? Touch, touch, touch, touch, touch, touch. Oh boy. Oh, yeah. Now I will say the barometer of my mango habanero awareness is from Wingstop and like Buffalo Wild Wings. Mm. It’s interesting you say that. Why you say that? Because your barometer should only be from Buffalo Wild Wings. ’cause Wingstop copied them. Oh, well there you go. Mm. Um, how does this chicken make you feel? Incredible. And it’s actually spicy. It is S spicy, it’s spicier than the mango habanero. I’ve had it. Either Buffalo Wild Wings or Wingstop. Same. Also. This is sweet, but it’s not too sweet. It’s not super sugar’s, not coly. It’s not coly. Sweet. A lot of mango habanero. It just ends up being like a yellow sugar sauce. There you go. With some spice in it. Yeah. This is incredible. There’s some, this is so well seasoned. There’s some stink in there, but like, not like bad sink. It’s like, no, there’s like, there’s like a chili pulp there is there. There’s like whole habanero. You taste the flavor of the habanero. It’s real habanero, which is crazy. I will say I wish, and this is really tough to do at an industrial scale. Mm-hmm. I wish they like sauced it and grilled it in even heavier to kinda like get that caramelization. Yeah. Do you ever get a piece of really grilled meat? Sometimes. And it tastes like the grill though. That’s the worst. Worst. Oh, that’s the worst. I want it to taste like the grilled dude. This is lovely. It is really good. Oh man. What would you rate this outta? 10? One on flavor and then two on spice. I’m gonna give it a nine on flavor. Mm-hmm. And a nine on spice. It’s quite damn right, right out the gate. I am so impressed. I give this a nine on taste. I give this an eight on spice. I think there’s room to go hotter, but I don’t know that anyone will. But it’s, but I think the pepper pulp Yeah. Makes it linger and stain your mouth in a really, really delicious way. It doesn’t dissipate quickly, which I feel like things like buffalo goes away fast. We’re about to find out, but this is just an absolute treat. I am, Josh, you can take the rest home. Oh my God. I would love, actually, that sounds so good. I, I just pop that in a pressure cooker and then pull it and put it in tacos. Okay. Hold on. Look at my hands. I know. I can see my hands are covered in the sauce. I’m having a great time. Are you gonna look at? All good, big upsell Po Loko. Great job out there. That was really good. Okay. Okay. People said they hate my eating noises and I’m sorry. Me’s so I’m sucking the sauce off my fingers. Me’s going to edit this out. Oh, you watch all them people eat the crab legs and putting the microphone near their throat so you can hear their epiglottis. But you don’t like me sucking mango ban arrow off my fingers. Don’t do that. Don’t do that. Oh God. Oh God. Even I have limits. I can’t do it. Much respect to the Muk mongers out there. I can never do what you do. Have you seen the onion boils and the tomato boils? It’s What do you mean the onion boils? What’s the onion boils? You’re literally gross. Thank you. You’re gonna be such a good mom. I know. Trust me. I know. Take the rest. What are the onion boils they take? Like it’s the crab boil mix. Sounds like a disease that killed 4 million people in 1917. London ion boils up 1912. No, it’s where it’s so crab is so expensive and like shrimp is so expensive that people have now, boy resorted to. Onion boils. And they’ve also started doing like crabs sticks, like remi sticks. Oh, that’s just smart. And also tomatoes. Like they do tomato boils like in the tomato mix and people swallow them whole. Oh, and it’s so, and they’re munging it. They’re they’re muck bonging. It. God, that’s, um, that sure is not that. Listen, I. I kind of agree with that thought process, though. We’re noting right now though, we’re muck bang right now. We’re, we’re not better than anybody. Yeah. But I, um, I, I love that general thought process though, of like, here is a format of eating that I love. However, it’s expensive product. Just put cheap product in there. It’s so smart. I would eat like a seafood boil with just sausage, potatoes, corn and eggs, you know what I mean? The eggs. The eggs, eggs are great. Or boiled eggs just covered in that sauce. Sign me TF up. Yeah. Like I’m down to eat the cheap version of that. Yeah, me too. You know, be throwing a chicken drumstick in there like Sure, why not? That’s just a great way to eat food. Okay, next up we have Wingstop Atomic. Oh no, you got the Wingstop Atomic Gee did and it says it’s the hottest we’ve got. Find out for yourself. Josh. I care about you so much that I got bone in and boneless for you to try. Fudge. Do you s Okay, so for those of you that aren’t watching, I’m glad I gave the El Play Loko an eight on spice thing. ’cause I’ve had, I haven’t had these in probably gonna 15 years. Am I gonna ruin, is my life gonna be ruined? I don’t think you’re gonna, I don’t think your water’s gonna break. I, what if it does though? It’s way too early for that. I don’t know. Its literally too early for that. I don’t know how the body works. You really don’t know any, I literally told you I was four months, like five minutes ago. I, someone recently, I found out though that. The gestation period of a human person Yeah. Is not nine months. It’s like 40 weeks. Yeah. Well, it depends, which that is pretty close to nine months. Yeah. It’s more like 10 months. Because four weeks are in a month. There aren’t four weeks. In a month. There’s like 4.37 weeks in a month. Okay. Go be assigned to somewhere else ugly. You’re so annoying. Um, to be fair, I’m also not reading any books. I’m not doing any research. I’m kind of just raw dogging like motherhood and I’m pretty sure that if my obese saw what I was doing right now, he would literally kill me dead. Okay. Do you think Woodrow Wilson’s mom was like, oh, well let’s read a book about gentle parenting and I’m not, I don’t care about home birth, home birthing. No ripped. They didn’t have books back. She ripped it also like one in four children died. Sure, I get that. Yeah. Um, okay. So I was saying before Josh started asking about ge, sorry, gestational periods, um, this is so covered in different forms of chili flake that I’m, can I dip it in this? No, I need to eat it without putting this off. Yum. That’s tasty though. Tastes Armenian. It tastes Armenian. Yeah. What do you mean it tastes Armenian? It’s strong and vinegar and black peppery. That’s good. Oh, a compliment. I know. It was good. I didn’t think it was an insult. Mm. Shout out to the dude at my gym that I talked to and then randomly. His content got served up to me and he just drives around Glendale and reviews. Reviews. It’s the best llama Juice reviews the best Lama June. You want to, oh my God. I comment on his stuff all the time. Like, you have to go to Tarone Bakery, dude. Hell yeah. Welcome to the dark. He goes to my gym. Nicest guy. Okay. This is really hard. Yeah. I go to a celebrity gym, the llama Joon review guy from Glendale goes there. What’s up? That guy’s great. Oh, I love him. Should we go on a ride along with him one time? I would love that. I love, I’m gonna message him. I’m gonna message him. That is re the, the amount of vinegar and black pepper in there is really, really delicious. I wasn’t anticipating that though at all. Oh. I thought it was just gonna be heat, heat, heat, heat. What’s up? I got one with more pepper dust on it. Uhhuh, this is, this is quite spicy. It is. This is a 10. This is a 10. I’m having a great time. I, I, I sort of stopped eating like ridiculously spicy foods. But I really do miss it. Like I miss that adrenaline rush that I get. You almost never get it from fast food. Yeah. Wingstops a little bit different. ’cause like, you know, they’re not fast food. They’re like, oh, they’re a wing joint. Does anyone sit in a Wingstop? I do. People sit in Wingstops. I don’t take food home. I love sitting in every restaurant every. In and out Taco Bell. What if it’s scary? There’s no, I’m not. I am a 6 2, 210 pound. Oh yeah. I forgot. White guy. Like, I’ve never been afraid of anything in my life. Society has taught me that I am never prey. I keep going back to this, you know what I mean? Yeah. You wanna put it down and you do put it down, but then it, it like winks at you and it goes, Hey, don’t forget about me over here. I’m kind of delicious. Wingstop atomic wings. Do you think, oh my god, that that’s better than el po? No. ’cause man, Mohamed Air Dragon. No, I don’t. ’cause you couldn’t eat a whole meal of this. Did you? If I had a death wish, maybe. Wow. I can’t, I can’t eat more than that. Yeah, it’s hurting. I’m hurting for a squirting now I’m gonna say I’m gonna give this a 10 on the spicy scale, but a five and a flavor scale only. Only a five, but it’s really well seasoned. It’s really delicious. Damn. But I would rather have the dichotomy of sweet. Tangy Chickeny. Goodness. Yeah. With the Bonin mango, habanero chicken, because I think that’s better, but hear me out. What if you dipped El po. Loco’s mango, habanero chicken and Wingstop Ranch. Hey, hear me out. I want you to live your life. I want you to be happy. Your happiness is actually so important to me as a person. Means a lot. It’s true. You being happy is really important to me. That’s a ton of the spice. For sure. Nothing else is gonna be at that. Right. No, I don’t. I still give it a seven on flavor. Woo. It’s really well done. Should have had ice cream on the side. That’d be nice. Run my lips over ’cause it’s, I feel like I, like I, I adjusted a, a lip injector. I ate too much ice cream with a sexy Italian man earlier. Now my tummy hurts. Oh. This guy and his Italian. Everyone’s obsessed with damiano. David, maybe you should rockstar. Maybe you should marry him. Yeah. You think he’s down. Seems to be in a very loving relationship. Can you, as are both of us. Can you open the hot the bat? Okay. Tell ’em what this one is. Okay, so this is called Spicy buffalo nugs from Wendy’s. So I think that this is a direct answer to like Chick-fil-A and all these people. I even did this one time, do you remember when I covered chicken nuggets and sauce? And you and Trevor almost vomited by my actions. Did I vomit? Did I, did I threaten to vomit? Yeah. You and Trevor were like, what? I don’t know that I did that. I, I think that’s a mischaracterization. Sorry, Besie. I didn’t mean to mischaracterize you. Sorry. I’m not here to ruin your character. These are spicy buffalo nugs. And can I please tell you the long line? ’cause I love, I’m kind of obsessed with all these spicy long lines. Yeah. They’ve got drip, they’ve got sauce and know we’re not talking about a fit check. We’re talking about Wendy’s new saucy Nugs. You heard right? Saucy Nugs. They told us we couldn’t make our classic Nugs better. Huh? But it’s too late. We’re, we already did for a whole new way to Nug. It’s gotta be Wendy’s Saucy Nugs. And I also got outside a Ghost Pepper Ranch because everybody loves a ghost Pepper Ranch. So a lot of people are like, oh, some 23-year-old marketing intern came up with that copy. Not, that’s a VP making 210 grand a year with, uh, stock option bonuses at the end. They came up with that, with the thing about the drip. Mm. You know, and the fit Dip it in the Ghost Pepper Ranch. Oh, I sure am. So here’s the thing, they, they’ve sauced the nuggets for you, but then they’re serving it with an additional sauce. I got the additional sauce. Ah, okay. Which is, which is wrong. I shouldn’t have done that. But I would’ve felt like we couldn’t talk about spicy fat, fast food options without talking about Ghost Pepper Ranch, because their Ghost Pepper Ranch has, it’s really important, has no ghost pepper flavor whatsoever. What are you talking about? You’re tasting ghost pepper on that. Yeah, it’s a lovely, like tangy Spicy Ali. That’s right. Not Ali, but Ali, the Spanish version. You hang out with the, with Damiano David one time. This guy’s ego’s outta control. You don’t taste ghost pepper in that. That’s so, no, you taste ghost pepper. You taste ghost pepper. Not like spicy. I taste pepper. You taste ghost pepper Josh. Ghost pepper has a flavor. I think there’s ghost pepper in the Wingstop wings. Josh, me and you’re fighting and I don’t like it. That’s fine. I hate these so much. Yeah, they’re nasty. This is, you know what this is? This is when at the end of the night, you know, you come back your little stony bolos. All you find are the Tyson chicken nuggets in your freezer. Yeah. You put ’em in the toaster oven and then you see the bottle of Frank’s red hot in the fridge. Yeah. And you go, what if? And you’re like, don’t. Yeah. People are are doing it on TikTok. Lemme do it too. It’s awesome. Yeah. It’s, but I don’t think it works with a nugget. It works with a boneless wing, which, A boneless wing is a whole piece of chicken that is actually like you are right, right. Fried in a flour dredge. This is like breadcrumb on wet spongy. Processed chicken, which is great when fried crispy by itself. You are correct. When you saw that, it turns into like a weird matza ball, which is crazy ’cause me and you love fried thing in sauce, but not in this. Not the nugget. The nugget sample. Nugget. The nugget doesn’t have enough heft to it. No, you’re right, you’re right, you’re right. It doesn’t do it. But I will say the Ghost Pepper Ranch is fricking delicious. If we were just raid the Ghost Pepper Ranch, I’d give that like. A seven on spice and a 10 on flavor. But we’re not testing that. We’re just Yeah. Testing the saucy nugs. I’m gonna give it a seven for, I’m gonna give it a six for both actually. I think. Taste on the nugs. I give a four. Oh Spice with the ranch. I’ll, I’ll give it a seven. The, the ranch is great. That’s the star. They should be dipping the sauce. They should be sauce of the nugs in that. Just, oh my God. Okay. So that’s what I did when I found out what, uh, honey Walnut Shrimp was. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I was like, flum. I had no idea. When I worked at a, let’s say, fast casual place in Torrance, in the Torrance Mall, and I was responsible for making, um, the spicy, not the spicy, the, uh, what is this, the shrimp you said? Honey Walnut. I was making honey walnut shrimp and honey walnut chicken uhhuh. The fact that it was just spicy mayo heated up. Yeah. Was a Shonda to me. It’s, I was shocked. Yeah. That delicious creamy sauce on your hot, sweet shrimp. It’s just like mayonnaise and sugar. It’s just, sorry about that. Um, hot dressed mayonnaise, so like, I don’t disagree with just dressing your nugs and hot mayonnaise. Yeah. You eat a lot more hot mayonnaise than you think. That’s, that’s my big cake that I’ll die on Josh. I made a big mistake and I microwaved the Popeye’s chicken in the foil bag because I thought the foil bag was fake. That’s a wild gamble to take and that you saw that and you’re like, can I tell you something? I bet this is fake foil. And I full on, I almost burnt down the office and I told Carly, Hey. You might smell fire. I’m sorry. That was me. She’s like, okay. Carly’s our front desk. Yeah. Carly, don’t care. Carly has never cared about me. Carly Unbothered, perennially. Especially the sh-t I do. Definitely not car. She’s never cared. No. Uh, except when she compliments you. Oh my God. Does it absolutely make my Carley will be like, Hey, it’s nice day. I love when Carley compliments me. Um, we pass each other on walks during lunch a lot. Yeah. Yeah, so this is 30% of the time we wave ghost pepper chicken sandwich buttermilk battered chicken breast. Here I’ll you eat it. Um, oh god, this looks good with Popeye’s New ghost pepper sauce. No. Served on a butter toast brioche bun with barrel cured pickles. Now they also just have like, like, oh, I thought you meant B-E-R-Y-L, like a girl named Barrell. Yeah, but isn’t Barrell what? What is barrell? Like, like a girl named Barrel One. If you’re a girl named Barrel, you’re probably really hot and you’re probably a barista. There’s one girl named Barrel on YouTube who makes great content. Are you okay? I feel like barrel’s a word though. Have now you Google Barrel. It’s Barrell. Whatcha talking? Barrell like BRYL? No, it’s not. It’s a Barrell, no. B-R-Y-L-L. I think it’s like a plant, right? Well, maybe because the name comes from somewhere. It’s a barrell. That’s like a plant. You thought that it was a mineral. Barrels a rock. You thought that it was mineral cured. You thought that Popeye’s was doing mineral cured pickles. You’re so a little bit so stupid. Okay. Also, like I was saying, they do make other ghost pepper items. I just wanted to eat it in sandwich for ’em ’cause it’s my life. Yeah. Mm hmm. You was saying ghost peppers are like 15 years old at this point. Probably even more. I mean the, but like 15 years of popularity. Mm-hmm. It is crazy that fast food places are still putting it out there. Ooh, that was a little kick to it. Are you getting a lot of spice? It’s a little kick, but that’s pretty good. It’s the most delicious thing. I think we’ve eaten that. The Popeye’s sandwich, the fact that people have had. Five, six years to catch up now and still haven’t. Uhhuh incredible like this is the greatest fast food item ever created since the Crunch App Supreme. I really wanna try the pickle glazed one. Mm. I think that would really benefit my life. Yeah, I think they probably made a good bet on that pickle menu. ’cause I. I watched the commercials for Popeye’s new, like Pickle Blas, everything. Yeah. Um, and I was like, who the hell wants that? And then I realized, oh, you’re no longer like the dominant culture target demographic. Mm-hmm. As an old person. Mm-hmm. And this is all the young freaks out there on TikTok, you know, just eating pickles covered in Tahin all the time. And, and pregnant girl. And pregnant girl and pregnant girl. That’s you. Yeah. I want, you know, for that reason. Incredible. This sandwich is so Dick, I wa, I know this is the Popeye sandwich. I give this a 10 on taste. I give it a six on heat. I agree with you. A million percent. I think this could be so much spicier. Delicious sandwich. Delicious. Oh, nothing can beat this. Do you think that the sandwich is better than the hop? Uh, I’m sorry. It’s better than the mango habanero. El po loco the bone and chicken. I’m eating that El poeo loco, mango habanero chicken. Probably like twice a month for the first table of future in my life. Okay. I’m probably not gonna have the sandwich for another two years. Just ’cause I, this is indulgent. Yeah, this sandwich is indulgent. But this is, maybe this is legitimately. The Popeye’s Ghost Chicken sandwich is maybe the best fast food I’ve ever. Oh my God, that’s really good. And they also have just a regular spicy one. Mm-hmm. But the Ghost Pepper kind of sends it a little bit, a little bit into like a, a different stratosphere for me. I have a question. Do you think this would be better with like a little slaw on it? I think so. I think so. Maggie, what the hell is that? Dude? That was her body. Is that you? Yes. Ignore it. Yeah. I can’t really burp, so I do this little burgle thing and I can’t control it. She has this thing. Well wait you, you don’t burp. Not really. Yes. It’s a disease. It’s not what? I have a disease. You’re very brave. Not on TikTok. And it was girls just opening their mouth saying like, ah. It’s like the grudge sound. Uh, it’s like that can’t control it. You’ve been doing this podcast for five years and you just heard it. Now it’s maybe, I’m sorry. I don’t pay enough attention to, it’s been five years, I to tell you. That’s fine. That’s fine. Cut that out. You make Maggie feel bad. I didn’t make Maggie feel, but you made Maggie feel it. Maggie, which one of us made you feel worse? Neither. You’re supposed to fine. That sandwich was really good, but guess what? I think it’s time for our first bga. Oh, it’s not just the Boyer. This ain’t just the boy. No, no, no. This is the El Diablo thick biker. What was, what was the accent you were doing? I just followed suit. What were you doing? I didn’t do anything. You did, you said. And then I did an accent when I talked about the, oh my God. Seven. You’re making my stomach. You know what? I think fast food burgers get better when they sit for 30 to 45 minutes. No. Am I gonna, okay, let’s, so there’s, I can’t eat that. I’m gonna die. What do they call this? When you put a leaf in a book? You press the flour, you press the flour. This is pressed bacon into the, uh, into the bun. The elder, a little thick burger. When this came out, this was like. Maybe my favorite fast food burger out there. So they had the audacity to put whole ass jalapeno poppers into a hamburger. Yeah. Charred boiled all beef fatty. Two strips of bacon, jalapeno poppers, um, pepper jack cheese jalapenos, and a fiery habanero ranch on a seeded bun. Bacon distribution on point. Look at that. Hey, it says it’s an N for. You can have the first bite. Sure. Oh no, Nicole here. I’m so sorry. No, please. No. Nicole s says you love this burger. I did say that you love this boy. Go eat it, Josh. Actually, didn’t you like remake this burger one time? Mm-hmm. No, that’s a fantastic boy. It sounds so dry in your mouth. Is that just what your mouth do? It was dry. Is that what that mouth do? That mouth stuffs all the way through that mouth dry. Call me. Call me the anti Nancy Reagan. No sloppy on this topic. This is absolutely, man. It’s called a sand blaster. It is just gonna be dry and abrasive. That’s gross. This is the worst thing I’ve ever had in my life. Well, can I kind of try one thing? Check this out. What if you dip it in one stop. Ranch. I’ll tell you what, the thing we’re learning today is every fast food is made better. If you have a bucket of Wingstop Ranch in nearby Josh, that burger is abysmal. It’s not even spicy. Yeah. Huh. That’s a huge bummer. That’s not what I remember. You know what I miss? I wish that we had more, we have El Poeo Loco representation, but I wish we had more Mexican food representation. Like where’s like, I wish Taco Bell had their volcano. Mm-hmm. You know, their volcano line. I feel like I’m gone delirious. That’s kind of interesting. We’ve taken like, I mean, I’ll pull your Locos Mackin. But I’m saying that’s the one I’m saying. No, it’s Sunday. Sunday, Louisiana. No, sun, Mexico. Um, I’m gonna give this a two. Two outta 10, two outta 10 spiciness and flavor taste without the ranch of three. With the ranch of seven. Uh, a taste of three, spiciness of four. Man, I, I, I still, conceptually I love that hamburger. You know what I mean? No, I dunno what you mean. That was, you have fried pockets of cream cheese and pickled jalapeno. It did eat weirdly acidic. It’s from, it’s from the, it’s, it’s the pickled jalapenos. There’s probably 15 pickled jalapenos on there. Not very, the only spice. I also don’t like pepper jack cheese. Why would you put, here’s my thing. What’s up? Let me soapbox for one second. You have this burger where there are probably 12 pickled jalapeno rings. On that burger. No, you’re gonna like this. And then you have like three whole pickled jalapenos in the jalapeno poppers on there. Then they have the audacity to say pepper jack cheese. That’s a whole slice of jack cheese with probably a quarter of a slice of jalapeno studded inside there. Yeah. How the. Are you going to taste those little chunks of jalapeno? A pepperjack cheese is a farce. Pepperjack cheese is a fart. It is a, it’s not a type of cheese. Pepper jack. It’s jack. Jack is a type of cheese Pepperjack. Cheese is the cheese that America has been lying to you about. I, oh, American cheese. American cheese is not real Cheese. Pepper jack cheese is a real cheese. Bless you. Thank you. It’s jack cheese that they put little chunks of pepper in it’s cheese, not a separate type of cheese. Just eat regular jack cheese and put some hot sauce on it. Grow up. Thank you. Grow up, dude. I’ve been doing that forever. I like the, I like your vibe today. What’s this vibe, please Commenters. Be gentle ’cause we’re in a silly mood. And if you don’t like this, we’ll be different. Next episode. I don’t think so. What do we got here? Fiery Royal Crispy Chicken by Burger King, God. Crispy white meat breast filet coated with our triple pepper fiery. Stop burping it. It feels hard. Wait. Triple pepper, fiery glaze, top of savory sauce, lettuce and juicy tomatoes on a toasted potato bun. Hmm. Triple pepper. What do you think those? Three peppers. B Pepper, uh, Jack, uh, pepper. X Pepper. Yeah. Pepper x. Rin as scorpion. Jia Jia. And that’s it. Yeah. Could be like, um, uh, a, a bird’s eye pepper. The pieri from Mozambique. I’m just gonna assume as they’re getting those there, I’m gonna assume it’s black pepper. Wait. West African Scotch Bonnet, half Rika and like cayenne. Eat it. Eat first. The Naga. The Naga Viper. Eat it first. Oh, probably, uh, Chile Manzana. Well, that lettuce is no, no. Chile manzano. Chile manzano. That means apple, right? Manana means apple. Well, our Spanish is so good. Hey, you wanna pivot to like a relationship podcast? Yeah. Maggie, you be our first customer. Please know. What do you mean? We’re so kick ass. We’re both married, I think. I think one of us is having a baby. What’s the secret? What’s the secret to great relationship? Just like, don’t expect much from anybody actually. Yes, actually, yes. Drop your expectations by 30 to 40%. This? Yeah. Like, just drop your expectations. Find someone that you can just exist silently in a room with for the end of time. ’cause that’s the best we can hope for. Yep. Yep. Truly these romantic ideals from a Hallmark card, um, this has no spice. This has no flavor. The chicken is hard, the bun’s hard. The pat, the tomatoes are too soft. The hell’s going on with that sandwich. Burger King, you had years to respond to Popeye’s dis track, and you did this to us. Are you, are you getting any spice? There’s like a little Mm, tastes like homemade, but in a home where there is no love, you know what I mean? Yeah. It tastes like a homemade chicken sandwich, but not a good one. Ultimately we did learn a lot. I’m so from all this, I’m so, I know, first of all, I’m so proud of myself for not throwing up because I did throw up in my mouth twice before this podcast started. That’s great. I dunno if you knew that or not. No. Um, and then I also learned that I could handle an atomic wing from, that’s really big. Yeah. That’s big. Um, I learned that all I want to eat is El Pollio loco till the end of time. Um, truly spicy grilled bone in chicken is the food group that I eat the most of in my life. Right, right. And I love that. I will say though, Wingstop, I haven’t had these atomic wings in literally, I mean, probably 15, 16 years. They’re really good since I was a kid and like took the challenge or whatever. That’s just a great, well-seasoned wing Wingstop does good work. Wendy’s, God bless you. Uh, Popeye’s, Popeye’s Chicken Popeyes Best game. And then Carl Jr. I hope. Keep hanging in there.

Oh, all right, Josh, we’ve heard what you and I have to say. Yes, we have. Now it’s time to find out what’s the time to find out. Um, what other wacky ideas are rolling around in the universe? That’s crazy. ’cause I guess I’ve said that every time for like several hundred episodes and I’ve heard you say it crazy. It’s time for, looks like my week. All opinions are like casserole. Do I have anything of my teeth? No, just teeth. You got teeth in your teeth, you’re like a shark. I dunno if you know this. Nicole actually has multiple rows of razor sharp teeth. You don’t see it. You know the Jewish stereotypes that go around. I’ve never heard the teeth one, but I’ll take it. You can barely see her horns. I shaved them down. Let’s get to that first opinion. Hey Josh and Nicole. Aw, I like to eat. Um, I like to eat mustard with um, pizza rolls. Thank you. Mustard. Mustard with pizza rolls. Small child. That sounds really, really good. I also love mustard with pizza rolls. Do you like yellow mustard and Dijon mustard? I think your stone ground mustard kid. I think they’re a yellow mustard kid, and I think this works on a couple levels. Mm. Right, because one. Pizza rolls don’t have like a ton of pizza flavor. No. They’re just pockets of goo. They’re kind of just pockets of mildly flavored goo. What do need, which I like, I I love them, but you need something like sharper than even a ranch. Sure. Dipping pizza rolls and ranch, you can get by. It’s delicious. Right, right. But mustard, there’s a ping seed to it. What I would, I would try. Maybe half yellow mustard, half ranch dressing. See where that gets you. Oh, that sounds good. I don’t know that I’ve ever eaten a mustardy ranch. You mean like a DIY situation? A little bit, but I feel like there’d be a, a, a distinct sharpness in there. That’s fun. Great. Good opinion. Good opinion. You have astute tastes. Sounds really good. I’m gonna try it. I would like to say this is Rachel from New York. Hi Rachel. I would like Rachel to say Rachel, but I think Miso Soup is Japanese Gatorade. If you wake up after a long night of partying and having fun, uhhuh and you drink some miso soup, it is the same as drinking a Gatorade. Oh, thank you. Okay. I’m gonna give it to, to Rachel over here. I will say, Rachel, I think you have a great point about miso soup. One having a lot of electrolytes and two being very great for like mm-hmm. When you’ve come home from a late night, Uhhuh, I will say, I think your analogies need work. What does sh What do you mean? Which says Japanese Gatorade. I feel like there’s a lot closer products in Japan to Gatorade, like sweat. Have you ever had Pari sweat? What is Pari Sweat Me, Google Pari sweat me knows what, what, what Pari sweat is. I know what P It’s so good. This is the Japanese. Answer to the Gatorade question. Yeah. Japan literally has a Gatorade called Pari Sweat. This is crazy. I’ve never heard of it. It’s so good. Oh my gosh. I lived off of these when I was in Japan. ’cause your girl gets dehydrated quickly. Is there a flavor to it? Mm, just like mild sweet water, I think is the best way to describe it. Why is it called Ari Sweat? I don’t know. Maybe the company’s called Ari. I suppose so maybe, I suppose in Japan it probably might have different, uh, sort of meaning. Um, maybe. But I do love miso soup and, but the only thing is when you drink Gatorade and out of after a night of drinking, like. And if you vomit it up, like, you know what I mean? That’s nice. I like it. That’s nice. I like when it’s blue. Yeah. But if it’s hot soup, vomiting up. Tough. Tough time. Tough. Mixed with the alcohol in your tumtum. Mm, yeah. Jager and MISO’s not gonna taste great. Do you know I’ve never had a Jager shot. Like I’ve never had. Oh, now you’re getting it. You gotta wait a couple months afterwards. I really wanna have a Yeager shot. When you give birth Yager bombs, call me up. I’m gonna come deliver a Yeager bomb to your recovery room. Oh, that would be so nice. And you’re sure you can come, are you doing a home birth? No, I’m getting woods. You gonna into the woods? I’m going to Cedars Sinai. Oh, crazy weird. I always wanted a water birth at home though. But then like a seahorse. Yeah. But then I realized, Hmm. I think I just wanna be around doctors. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. One, I also saw Manchester by the C fd me Up. There’s a birth scene in that. I’ve never seen Manchester Way to see any of us. Maggie. No, I’m not, not that level. I still gotta, I guess I gotta watch sinners. Oh, can we go watch sinners together? I really, I have so little time. I, if we can take, just trying to connect. Hey, hey. I’m just trying to connect. Oh, okay. That’s it. I’m just trying to connect. Yeah. If we can take a day off of work. Josh, you, you’re the boss. Yeah, I guess so. Of, of me. I don’t think we’re gonna end up seeing sins in theaters together, but. All right. Next opinion. I like that. Hailey Steinfeld. Hi there. Um, Zach, honey Corn. Josh. Hi, it’s Dick from Upstate New York. I have a unique life hack that other people think it’s weird, but I was wondering if y’all ever heard about it. Mm-hmm. For my entire life, whenever I would have hiccups, my mom would tell me, eat a spoonful of peanut butter, and hicks go away. Oh, I’ve been doing this since I was young, and I’m like a college student now. But whenever I tell people, Hey, eat a. You know, spoonful of peanut butter, they look at me funny. I was just wondering if y’all have ever heard this or if you guys have any other different ways to get rid of hiccups, but alright, thanks. Lemme know. Bye. This is a fascinating story of anthropology here. Um, I’ve definitely heard of that and I googled it with Reddit at the end. Peanut Butter Hiccups, Reddit, and it definitely exists. My favorite way to get rid of hiccups. It’s to scare somebody. I love scaring the hiccups out of people. Um, it’s a, it’s a talent. I don’t have a problem with hiccuping. I’ve never had a problem with hiccuping. What do you mean? But I did, like some people, well, well, so I dated somebody that would, if she started hiccuping at the bar, she would’ve to go home. But then sometimes also, if she just got mildly upset, she’d go home. She really loved going home. But the point is, she would also have really bad hiccups. And it’s a problem that I can’t like loud or like her whole body. What do you mean by bad rules? Loud whole body rolls. But the worst thing is they wouldn’t stop persistent. Oh. And she tried every remedy. So it’s good that she went home. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Instead of just like being like a miserable board. Just like Sure. Being hiccuping all over the place. Yeah. Ugh. Yeah. Yeah. She, she did the right thing. Guess she would’ve lost either way. She would’ve been that annoying. Wait. We have a lot of empathy. We have a lot of empathy for the hiccups. I have a lot of empathy. Empathy for the hiccups. If she just stood there at the bar, hiccuping flailing. She sounds like she flailed about, yeah. She’d be like a little bit, and then she’d be like, oh. And then it would come back really fast. She did the smart thing? Yeah. And she left. I would’ve like just taken a walk maybe around the block. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like drank water really fast. It wasn’t really about the hiccups, you know? Is it, is it about the, the, the, the relationship? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. But anyways, the point is I don’t know that science has fully figured out what hiccup is relationship or how to or how to solve ’em. What, sorry, I wasn’t listening. I don’t think science. What’d she say? I don’t think science has fully figured out what hiccups are, uh, or how to solve them. I’m sure they know what hiccups. Yeah, they do. It’s whenever, like, you are, like your, like a wind pipe just gets like. Agitated. Like, is that what it’s like? It goes like be, be something and there goes, yeah. But anyways, I don’t like if there was a scientific consensus on how to cure a hiccup, I feel like doctors would be telling us, what are they hiding from us? We don’t know. So I think peanut butter is about as good as anything. I think if you do anything to disrupt your current hiccup pattern. You’re kind of doing it. And so I think eating peanut butter is just as good. More importantly, you know how Hailey Steinfels uncle is Body by Jake, are you for real? I’m dead for real. I loved Body by Jake. He’s a very handsome man. You know, I grew up with my mom having buns of steel and like arms of steel like, and like lots of body by Jake videos. Nice on VHS, Haley Seinfeld’s Uncle. I love that. Incredible Haley Steinfeld. Come on the show. Absolutely. You’re gorgeous. Oh God. The edge of 17. What a movie. Never saw it. What? You still, you have all the opportunity in the world to say it now. I wanna watch True Grit.

Next Opinion. Hey, Josh and Nicole. Long time listener. First time caller, just wanted to let you in on a little script I found recently. Next time you’re dipping your Oreos, just uh, add a little splash of coffee or cold brew into your milk there. Hey, now it’ll add. An extra flavor that is phenomenal. Mm-hmm. Anyways, love the pod. Just wanted to let y’all know. Have a great day. Aw, that’s nice of you. This is not that groundbreaking and I wish you called with something. Wow. A little bit more. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Slow to roll. Well, no, I’m being honest. You know, that’s what the hotline is for, is for like hot takes and like I thought that was really milk toast and I don’t, I don’t like it. I don’t think it’s milk toast. I think it’s milk oreo and I think it’s really smart. I think it’s smart, but it’s, I’ve heard people say that before. It’s not out of left field. Well, but I think that’s what primarily what makes it so smart. Sorry. Butter be, it’s not completely out of left field. Oh, milk and coffee sounds like a latte to me. Well, yeah, but dipping the Oreo in it, we all know that. Like you, what do you mean you add espresso to a chocolate baked recipe to make it taste more chocolatey? Mm. Oreos already exist. Add the espresso to the milk to make the thing taste more chocolatey. Flos for spring. Groundbreaking. Wow, you’re gonna say that. Check out this picture on my computer. What is with you, bro? This is a screenshot from the show Dickinson with Fel. Oh, you in love with Hailey Steinfeld. I’m in love with her body of work. And then this is, and then of work. But do you see who’s next to her? Yeah, everybody hates Chris. What? It’s Wiz Khalifa. It’s weird. Anyways, Wiz Khalifa plays death. Yeah, that’s right. Hailey Steinfeld plays Emily Dickinson, but she like uses modern language and curses. And Wiz Khalifa plays death. It’s a great show. It’s wild. Dude. Really thought he had a, just thought she cooked on that one, huh? Well, I did a little racism. I’m sorry. Oh. The black guy looked like the other black guy. I’m sorry.
