dominos which pie chain reigns supreme find out cause this is a hot dog is a sandwich ketchup is a smoothie yeah i put ice in my cereal so what that makes no sense hot dog [Music] welcome to our podcast a hot dog is a sandwich the show where we break down the world’s biggest food debates i’m your host josh sharer and i’m your host nicole inaudible and today nicole we are discussing the feud between limp biscuit and corn now if you go back to like the resurgence uh uh corn has a song called twisted transistor and it’s a really good song oh my god do you like corn am i just now finding out so you side with corn in the lem biscuit field i mean limb biscuit had its moment in the sun yeah but that moment has gone fred durst though i heard is a very talented jazz pianist he is yeah what is that i actually went did i tell you about the jazz concert that i went to with fred durst and i told fred durst the first album i ever owned was uh three dollar billy all by lint biscuit and he said i’m sorry that’s really funny that was pretty cool he was i’m sorry too he was in like a really cool tailored suit uh sockless black shoes and then he still wore the backwards red baseball cap it’s a pimp and he had this like jazz ensemble of musicians that he had sort of scouted from across america yeah brought them together to a jazz club in la and then he went up there and he like scatted with them cool yeah big fan of the scatting big fan of fred durst scatting i wish the korn singer would have gone a third scattered pizza hut versus domino’s yeah what about it heavy hitters heavy hitters they are the two dominant pizza chains in america you can you can go on about papa john’s they got shaq behind them now which is really super bizarre because they were like our founders racist and the funny thing is it’s kind of working papa john’s their popularity ranking has actually been spiking well look at that uh even though their pizza to me it really can’t hold up we had it in the office the other day and i took one bite and i was like ah that’s what i remember i don’t know how to explain it it’s like the sauce is so sweet and tart it’s like sweet tart sauce yeah you know what i mean it’s their crust has a leathery pull to it yeah it has like yeah it has like a distinct like like chew and it’s like when you try to like bite you have to like kind of like ah yeah you gotta rip you you gotta rip the papajo as a member of the soft teeth community um and i would like to think one of the foremost leaders in soft teeth activism papa john’s is uh that’s triggering for me i don’t enjoy it uh pizza versus dominoes who you got oh it’s so you’re ordering pizza for the big game nicole where are you ordering from it’s always dominoes but i love pizza hut so much it’s so nostalgic because whenever i was like five six years old like pizza hut was like the the shiznit popeye’s chicken is the shiznit please don’t make me laugh that was the monologue from uh oh yeah also nicole just got her wisdom teeth out and so she is infirmed she is struggling i am the ambassador of the soft teeth community today because i literally can’t nicole rides in solidarity i literally have a mug of bone broth as my meal today right now on the subject of pizza hut and domino’s i do always order dominoes but pizza hut is a very special piece of my heart because it’s very spongy and it’s very cakey and it’s very thick and i just like i just like it more but i know domino’s is the crowd pleaser so i’m always going to choose dominoes that’s interesting uh i was in the same boat until recently where i had always ordered domino’s so okay for anyone that doesn’t know domino’s uh surpassed pizza hut in domestic sales uh in 2017 for the first time i believe wow and that was a huge deal because both pizza hut and dominoes started out about the same time pizza founded in 1958 domino’s founded in 1960. uh domino’s was in uh ypsilanti michigan shout out to the ipsilantians out there what’s that like stanley yelnats but this is one of those things it’s like um how most of the major burger chains right they were founded around the same time there’s a huge fast boom in the 1950s especially and uh the franchise game that was popularized by ray kroc at mcdonald’s is what allowed all these places to really explode and so uh dominoes started out as dominic’s which is funny you didn’t know that yeah these uh the monahan brothers they bought a single pizza store called dominic’s pizza but like neither of them were named dominic and so they’re like well it’s kind of weird it’s kind of the opposite of mcdonald’s right where like mcdonald’s was i believe two stores owned by irish mcdonald brothers okay and then ray kroc sort of like took control of all of it and then he there’s a kind of the movie the founder there’s that one great line you ever saw the founder no it was dry but it was a delight uh michael keaton uh nick offerman what a you know go back and forth but anyways uh the reason that he kept that is because he thought croc was too slavic of a name so it would be called crocs yeah and he was like well if we call it crocs like he’s like people don’t trust the slavic name so mcdonald’s nice irish catholic interesting yes smart move the demographic politics of the time i can’t exactly come wanna go eat a croc said no one ever a very popular shoe brand uh but anyways uh point is domino’s really took the lead against pizza hut in 2008. okay 2008 is one of the single most successful restaurant resurgences of all time why is that because domino’s sucked for a long time and this is how i remember it when i was like a kid it was like pizza hut i mean one you got the pan pizza and you had the stuffed crust and their normal hand tossed soft crust wow my parents never let me get this stuff because like too much cheese it was expensive because it was never like on sale it makes sense that it’s expensive um but yeah i mean pizza hut had the innovation and they had just a better product in general yeah then they also had the pizza mia deal those like you got three pizzas for like five dollars each that was awesome they were like worse though i don’t think they put a lot of tlc into those pizzas but like five dollar pizzas that was that oh yeah amazing time in history oh my i remember like i remember being at the pool and ordering like pizza meals it was like me and one friend and we would just get three pizzas and we’d put them by the pool and just eat them with wet hands uh but 2008 everyone was like hey domino’s your crust tastes like cardboard your sauce tastes like ketchup yeah what’s the dealio and then domino’s basically came out and was like yeah you’re right like yeah we suck we have not put any attention into the pizza in the last 40 years i kept the original recipe so 2008 they literally rebuilt their pizza recipe from the ground up and they started throwing garlic butter on the crust their sauce just has less sugar in it now smart and their pizzas taste a lot better i agree so there’s been like an 11 year period-ish or 13 i just can’t do math there’s a 13-year period in which domino’s has taken the lead slowly over time over pizza hut combine that with the fact that domino’s had the pizza tracker app oh that’s like the best thing ever the the government surveillance state hold on let no no the government surveillance state to me started with the domino’s pizza tracker app started yeah it just brought it to light yeah no that’s true it was it was mainstream it was uh made more palatable for the consumer exactly we should have edward snowden on to discuss the domino’s pizza truck i’m sure he has a lot of opinions about it where’s he where’s he like venezuela now no maggie can we get snowden on can we contact our booker live i thought the government was like pew pew pew now he’s still he’s still kicking jo oh no joseph gordon levitt’s still alive he played snowden yeah he did i don’t know there’s one thing i want to talk about nobody does deep dish better than pizza hut but no one does thin crust better than dominos can you i thought that no oh you’re talking about thin crust thin crust yeah like thin crust where they cut it in squares oh okay but to me that’s pointless what uh the thin crust yeah i i hate thin crust fast food pizza oh my god it’s a cracker it’s saint louis it’s st louis styles whenever we have birthdays and stuff that’s the pizza that the adults would get why i don’t know watching the carbon tape i don’t freaking know it was just it was just the norm every single time we would have a party the kids would get the triangle slices of regular and then the adults would get the flat so you grew up like internalizing that as like the flat thin crust pizza is adult fancy pizza it’s not adult fancy pizza it’s adult pizza it’s adult pizza adult fancy pizza adult pizza sounds like a bachelorette party pizza where the pepperonis are cut into like uh penises yeah penis shapes penises and vulvas penises the penis pizza i can’t say penis i think the plural of vulva is volde or is that a pokemon vulva activate fire breath um vulva yeah we’re googling this now yeah vulva yeah plural of vulva is volve indeed um i’ll watch a lot of spelling bee oh yeah i could work those kids that’s like no no kids aren’t spelling vulva in the national spelling bee i’m saying that they’re they’re doing like latin roots any latin word ending in a the plural is uh a e and not with an s that’s so interesting yeah yeah um what i’m saying is 12 year old children need to learn how to spell the names of the human body part uh no i’m saying that i don’t believe in thin crust so i take that completely out of the equation oh i like thin crust pizza like neapolitan pizza but not fast food thin crust pizza it’s just it’s crackery and i hate it why is that important to you cute and like you pick it up and you dip it in the ranch and you dip it in this way you don’t have to sell me on dip it in the ranch also though i do believe fast food pizza places need better ranch okay yeah that’s true um because fast food ranch it’s it’s really hit or miss yeah and i was shocked mcdonald’s ranch the other day i had it i don’t know if they got a new ranch recently no it was really good no wait i don’t like mcdonald’s ranch have you had it recently no mcdonald’s last time you drank shots of mcdonald’s it’s been a while it’s been a while dude i’ll tell you i was pleased recently because most are just too sweet there’s corn syrupy yeah why is there corn syrup in it it’s just cheap it fills it out and it’s cheap yeah that makes sense uh but anyway so fast food thin crust pizza i don’t mess with that said it’s your laws they do have they each have a plethora of crust options uh and domino’s has maybe my favorite which is brooklyn style you’ve gotten brooklyn style once before you the look on nicole’s face right now is mad like she was mad that i got brooklyn i don’t like why don’t you like it i don’t know what’s what’s so special about it well okay so i love thin crust pizza like new york style pizza which fast food pizza is supposedly kind of trying to emulate i know a lot of these places started in michigan so they would probably say it’s actually trying to be a michigan style pizza whatever but i think the best formulation of pizza across the globe is just a thin crust new york pie that has the proper amount of crispiness as well as fold as well as chew to it in domino’s brooklyn crust that gets you there closer than damn near any other fast food pizza chain i see and i respect that that said you go to the other side of the aisle and like pizza hut fat pan pizza that’s a good pizza that’s a good pizza good it’s the way that like the bottom gets like so crispy and oily and like oil logged but like in a good way you know what i mean you know how like um you make focaccia right you just sure you lather yeah you lather the bottom of the pan with olive oil yeah yeah pizza hut’s dough is in their pan pizza is cooked via the same method i would argue it might be a focaccia except the oil that they’re using is probably some sludge that’s just called like restaurant oil or something you know what i mean no i think you’re right it’s like the hydrogenated whatever it’s probably yeah but it has like a really interesting texture to it that like domino’s just doesn’t do but domino’s makes up for it with the with their crust and their flavor of their crust it’s true yeah so it’s kind of like a catch 22. i will say i i think right now if you’re pressing me for a final answer and i know we’re probably what 12 13 minutes in this podcast and i haven’t said anything domino’s welcome to the podcast um i would say domino’s is better right now i think domino’s uh if you’re talking about pizza for pizza thin crust for thin crust even pan pizza for pan pizza because pizza hook got rid of their original pan pizza recipe they came back with a new one i don’t think it’s quite as good you’re losing some of that artificial butter extract flavor if we’re ordering lunch right now and i want to please a crowd i’m ordering domino’s i agree however however he is like i said these restaurants have both been around since like the late 1950s right and it’s only in the last 13 years that domino’s has sort of taken the lead taken up the mantle here pizza hut right now they’re down on the ropes pizza hut closed 10 of their global stores oh this past year yeah ah they’re owned by i mean it’s franchise either you deserve it no they don’t deserve it it’s just it’s morally neutral i’m not switzerland it’s a uh it’s a process that in political science you call it retrenchment retrenchment your troops are spread too far you need to bring some of them back realize your core values and then hit strategic targets out there and that’s exactly what pizza hut is doing right now which i find fascinating so roughly ten percent of pizza hut’s business was still dine in globally during the pandemic have you ever dined at a pizza hut order uh when i was a kid really because pizza had the freaking salad bar never you didn’t want to pizza freaking salad never bro kansas city missouri i’m five years old the pizza hut freaking salad you never did all my pizza hut because of their salad bar so they had like bread sticks and you know they have like the whole canned olives half the things in the salad bar were just pizza toppings that can also be raw and salad yeah that’s the first time i had like raw mushrooms i think i threw it up i probably got e coli from it when i was a kid but anyways pizza hut was the world’s largest buyer of leafy green kale because they lined their salad bar and they put the little hotel pans that’s cute in that that’s cute uh but anyway so pizza hut was trying to be that like family dining restaurant because during the 80s and 90s there’s this big resurgence of like fast food restaurants need to play to families right well it makes sense it could have been yeah like a function of reagan era you know reaganomics where it was like nuclear family people have more disposable income go spend that income at mcdonald’s on their new steak sandwich or whatever or pizza hut at their salad bar um but domino’s has always been delivery first yeah and like in you know the 80s they had the what was it 30 minutes or half a dollar off is how the campaign started it was yeah where if your pizza wasn’t very smart super smart and then it became 30 minutes your pizzas free which really kicked things off wow i bet that never happened though well people actually got it for free yeah about that like out of like maybe a thousand or just maybe like two yeah and but i mean that means it was smart for dominoes right yeah that became like a really iconic thing and domino’s did a great job of figuring out delivery infrastructure early on so even now dominoes if you order delivery via the domino’s app whatever they don’t have any place outside of a three-mile radius from a store that they deliver to and even in high traffic areas like we’re in la right so three miles could take 20 minutes in l.a sure domino’s doesn’t deliver anywhere that has a 10-minute plus drive during rush hour oh i didn’t know that yeah and so they like we’re talking about all these delivery algorithms with postmates and grubhub and doordash and uber and all this crap domino’s pizza tracker out here they’re figuring it out and it made dominoes really well suited for the future right especially during the pandemic we’ve seen how delivery exploded especially with pizza restaurants you get pizza during the pandemic a lot no what what did you order during the pandemic a lot of [ __ ] yeah i um a lot of soup dan modern chinese mmm that’s a good one yeah just a lot of i’m trying to think what else oh uh a lot of persian food yeah yeah cause i would send you pictures all the time and i would i would rank their um kashki but you’re so funny yeah especially with uh my girlfriend living in near the biggest persian neighborhood in los angeles a lot of great persian food and food that delivers really well yeah that’s true especially especially the stews yeah delivery persian stews they just stay hot yeah i don’t know how i think it’s a layer of oil on the top yeah it is it no honestly okay but now i don’t know if i ordered fast food pizza once during panda i did either because if i’m ordering pizza i’m probably going mom and pop exactly but then sometimes you get burned by mom and pop and domino’s would have been better so you gotta find a reliable spot yeah a reliable spot [Music] there are few better foods to eat during the summer than a nice juicy grilled piece of

more is it the domino or is it the hood because they’re both really i see i see the dominant also i love playing dominoes with my friends you know how to play dominoes are you shout out to wild man dave who taught me how to play bones are you 80. uh no it’s just a fun time you just you just you you play marbles and jackson you throw some bones at a bar you just bring a little case with you god have you seen squid game yet no i really i’m resisting v v won’t stop talking about squid game and i’m resisting it hot fire flames is it good i don’t nothing about it appeals to me i just don’t like that type of stuff what a good show um well i think the pizza hut logo is cute because it’s like a little like hat that’s kind of like tipped off to the side a little bit and it’s really cute like pizza it’s a bad boy it wears its hat to the side and so you’re attracted to it you think like pizza hut rides a motorcycle without a helmet outside like the eight-year-old old man throwing bones from the love of god no it’s like you know it’s like it’s like hey it’s like it’s like what’s the fedora meme you like guys in fedoras did you watch too much of the master pickup artist i never said that i’m just saying i like the way it looks more i’m not saying i like men in fedoras because if you look back to their history you see ways in which each has poisoned themselves for a different moment poison themselves or poison them poised poised poised uh and right now domino’s is better suited for the current moment but pizza hut had his it’s run in the past so you’re talking about the logo of pizza hut is the red thing that looks like a hat that’s their signature red roof right i love that oh you drive by yeah you’ve seen a pizza right they all have a signature red roof no no no no no no i just put two and two together i’m so sorry so the top of so it’s not a hat that’s the top of the hut yeah correct mundo i’m so sorry yeah yeah no it’s not pizza hats it’s pizza hut i’m sorry you’re you’re what is a co-host is a little bit off the ramp so pizza hut in the early 1970s they hired an architect to figure out because they were franchising like crazy they franchised like 500 stores in like three years or something wow so they’re like crazy all across america yeah all across america why did they go overseas to the other parts of god was it in 80s crap do they open up a pizza hut in moscow during the cold war anyways both of them actually have a really big international footprint but designed all of it to be dinan centric and to have their physical location be part of the mythos of the brand right that’s so weird to me to like eat in a pizza hut well yeah but it wasn’t weird for people 20 years ago you know yeah i guess but i i totally agree with you but that’s why domino’s took the lead and uh is now poised to sort of be the restaurant in the future that said yum brands which is pizza hut’s parent company right they’re owned by pepsico but then yum brands has what god long-term silver’s if they’re still around um taco bell kfc pizza hut a w which is a perfectly fine fast food establishment and never eaten at an annual they have root beer on old-timey pull taps never been to it is there an aw in california i there was one that opened uh in a city called ladera ranch in in uh orange county that i used to go to um they’re like hand tap drawn root beer floats what a delight and they’ve fried cheese curds wow shout out to a w and all their burgers are like family names is like the big papa burger like the little brother burger wow you really like this place huh yeah i’m a big game fan uh but anyways so pizza had also took a big downturn during the recession in 2008 which is when dominoes have their big resurgence okay right because pizza hut owned by yum brands which controls the whole portfolio taco bell and all that people stop spending money on big ticket items like you know say a 40 pizza hut meal right for a family and instead went to places like taco bell where you can get happiness for three dollars and so pizza hut was like the neglected stepchild of the yum brand’s portfolio for a while that’s so sad you guys just want to talk about corporate structures let’s talk about it because wait take it away because right now so pizza hut closed 10 other stores and now they are trying to go the domino’s model of being what’s called off-premises and so literally like think ghost kitchen right i think uh you know they might have store fronts but they’re literally just to churn out pies no seating whatsoever so the real estate costs are going to drop and then they’re trying to increase right but when the domino’s pizza tracker app came out apps were sort of new for fast food restaurants and now everyone’s got this rewards program and taco bells is actually probably the most impressive taco bell they continued to grow during the pandemic i am a member of the rewards program and i got i got bamboozled oh no i got swindled you did well into downloading it because i didn’t want to i wanted to resist i also had the taco bell online app but i was never part of the rewards until they were like hey you can get the taco bell chicken sandwich taco one day early if you’re on the rewards and i was like well i don’t i don’t want to wait yeah i feel like your uh your food writer brain was like yup yeah i had to and so now every time i pull up my phone i’m like well i could be reaping some benefits right now but that said so pizza hut right now they are in a period of retrenchment and they’re trying to figure out how to modernize and so i think in the next 10 years if we record a follow-up to this podcast nicole 10 years from now i think pizza hut will have overtaken dominoes i think they’re going to figure out how to get leaner you want to get weiner yeah we’re going to be doing this podcast for like what 20 30 years what okay what else do you have to do raise a phone become a doula stop don’t bring that up now don’t break up my past you suck are there many male doulas out there i think there can be why not i don’t know i don’t think a gender should apply to a job such as a doula is a doula like a spiritual baby extractor sometimes do they physically take the baby out it depends if there’s a doctor present hmm interesting you can google it later domino’s lava crunch cake yeah okay okay so pizza for pizza pizza for pizza pizza for pizza right now it’s tough to argue that domino’s does not have better domino’s is better domino’s is better when it comes down to it yeah uh pizza hut has tried to throw a bunch of bells and whistles at the wall they did like a they did like a pretzel crust pizza do you ever have that no i love myself far too much they got rid of it that’s the thing that people don’t realize when i mean i’m one of the people who complains when a fast food company gets rid of an item whatever they’re like doing that because it’s when you say something complain like do you like write a letter to corporate or do you don’t make shout out in videos you said it into the twitter oh yeah we make all the youtube videos right you did that threatened taco bell yeah remember you like threatened them with warfare yeah man i was i was uh really researched some old general speeches i was going like i remember castro up there um but i think the title of the video was literally like bring back the mexican pizza or else uh or maybe it was like are we riot i don’t remember uh but anyways i mean they’re doing that because it’s one harder for the employees so it makes ticket times take longer you know stuff like that so there’s a reason so pizza hut right they’re starting to trim the fat they’re getting back to basics uh and so i think you know a couple years from now we’ll see what sort of stuff they come out with to try and save the business pizza for pizza though domino’s takes it and pure taste alone totally i agree right and then other menu items are there any things so pizza hut they who has the pasta wing street who has the pastas dominos thomas has the potato domino’s has the pastas which are i don’t really care for the pasta yeah let’s just say they’re not great i mean it’s you know i feel like that’s for like the difficult cousin yeah yeah you’re ordering delivery and you gotta i don’t want pizza we’ll get you the chicken fettuccine yeah yeah yeah who has the chicken bites those are good uh donos the chicken bites are full well so pizza hut partnered with a company called uh wing street okay and so they’re kind of like part and parcel oh yeah they have they have like wing streets next to pizza huts like in the same building or whatever exactly yeah and so pizza hut has that as its chicken arm which is great but it’s weird when you’re ordering that because whenever i order fast food pizza it’s always like one pizza costs you 14.99 or have this special deal where you get three pizzas for nine dollars and it’s like i don’t know how the economics work but i feel like i’m always downloading the online coupon i was gonna talk to you about coupons i yo when i was a kid my mom would make me sit there and clip those coupons oh yeah i was a coupon clipping kid kids these days don’t realize it wasn’t it wasn’t easy back then it wasn’t just log onto the app and click a button no you would have to clip out the coupon i’d be like here you go yeah and then you’d scratch out the expiration date with a penny cut around you take an acetone and you put the q-tip in the acetone and then you get rid of the date yeah that’s how we had to do it back in the day because it wasn’t always [Laughter] having our parents just help us scam restaurants out of three dollars it was nice it’s nice so the point is pizza had like their chicken is more expensive and so it never seems worth it to get the wings because there’s never the wing coupons never win never win coupons yeah too much no it’s not fair uh other menu items uh gosh you you go cinnamon dessert for cinnamon dessert pizza hut wins i don’t like the cinnamon desserts no no it doesn’t it doesn’t do it doesn’t do it for me i just i punch off a cake no fire dude chocolate chocolate crunch lava cake from domino’s that is like a high quality dessert you could serve that like at a steakhouse absolutely you top that with some vanilla ice cream give you a little cinnamon sponge knot on the side or whatever they got from domino’s like something of astros man it’s amazing it’s delicious uh domino’s cinnamon desserts they’re like a little twisty thing and they look like the um susan g komen breast cancer foundation logo and so i don’t think they donate any money to breast cancer research but you know it’s still nice in solidarity for dominoes you’re funny today you’re on one uh in conclusion nicole conclusion is this josh domino’s rocks yeah domino’s roles domino’s roles yeah um pizza hut it’s all right it’s there they’re going through tough times yeah and we’ve all gone through time buy more pizza hut you know pizza hut is all of us in a way right now you know sometimes we all go through tough times you know nicole your face is swollen like you just got hit in the head with the bricks no you had a medically necessary procedure just like pizza hut did when they you know took out these 10 of restaurants and you know yeah the night is darkest before the dawn it looks like i have a goiter yeah nicole’s got an iodine [Laughter] i deficiency in beat that also we didn’t even talk about the best pizza chain of them all uh and that’s a little little caesars come on five dollar pizzas the crazy bread with that little gazpacho side it’s disgusting i hate it i think it’s like 80 as good as anything else and 80 cheaper and so the math adds up honestly caesars is good when you’re down on your luck and you need to pay rent and you yeah yeah that’s that pizza shout out to little caesars the people’s pizza the people’s champion of all things tomato pie uh but no dominoes right now they have a pretty commanding lead yeah i agree uh that said i’m curious about the future see what the future holds for all of us and for pizza hut and from all of us here at mythical kitchen to you happy pizza hunting what the hell [Music] when it comes to your journey hyundai is thinking of every mile that’s where the new 2023 hyundai palisade comes in the

out what other wacky ideas are rattling out there in the twitterverse it’s time for a segment we call opinions arlet casserole [Music] first up we got ep 414 cheddar on graham crackers is fire yep i here’s the thing one graham crackers they don’t stop you from baiting they were meant to stop you from baiting um scientifically they just they don’t it didn’t work they meant ritz crackers nicole’s struggling uh no rich crackers encourage self-stimulation graham crackers discourage it you know that whole history right ritz wants you to touch you no no no no well graham really didn’t wait i know of course i know about that and so i think some graham crackers right yeah masturbation yeah aids yeah yeah um whereas ritz crackers has been neutral on it so i think that means they want you to um club goal club guy there was a man there was a man who tweeted at uh keebler for every day for over a year just saying what is the sexuality of the elves and keebler never responded so i guess i’d i’d like to know what the sexuality of the elves is um cheddar and graham crackers i can’t imagine it i can’t really get my maybe if it’s a white cheddar but that’s just maybe what what’s the difference between white it’s just food dye it looks it looks less intimidating i guess that makes sense staring down a yellow cheddar graham cracker uh no i like cheddar and sweet is good i recently put some crushed up cheetos and a bowl of frosted flakes and that was a delight for fun no it was like a work thing we’re like filming a silly video um and then i wasn’t even supposed to eat it was supposed to be a prop it was like well there’s a bowl of cheeto frosted flakes i’m not gonna not eat it and that was a delight and so if graham crackers and cheddar goes as hard as cheetos and frosted flakes which i imagine it does i’m down with it i’m gonna try it i have cheddar and graham characters at home because me and jules we like to make this little um this little like treat at night where we take hold on so we take strawberries we like cut them up and then um we put them in like a bowl and then we’ll put some whipped cream on it and then here’s the kicker we take like just a couple graham crackers and we crush them up and we put them on top and uh and then we just watch chuckle law and fall asleep on the couch together so cute i’d love to hear that that’s pretty adorbs melly mel’s underscore 22 says soy sauce and sriracha are the perfect additions to popcorn wouldn’t it make the popcorn soggy though here’s the thing i like soggy popcorn you like soggy popcorn no no what you do is you dip your fingers in the dryer pickles and you flick the pickle juice you dip your flingles you dip your flingles in the pickle jar and then you flick that at the popcorn no just get popcorn seasoning just get the dill pickle popcorn seasoning no i like the wet no i really do it’s like well you’ve seen me eat a bag of chips i open it and i put hot sauce in it and i shake it well that’s because you’ve got problems baby it’s because you have soft teeth soy sauce and sriracha that’s aggressive on popcorn yeah i mean i’m telling you there is such thing as soy sauce powder and they’re searching as sriracha powder so just put those on there you don’t need to do the wet i like the what though i like the texture of wet soaking in the dry i’m saying it works no you gotta put some milly mills butters got wet i know but it like but it like doesn’t like make it like sopping wet yeah the amount of fat insulates it exactly yeah and i guess most of the time it’s not real butter right you’re probably putting uh putting hydrogenated melted oil on it yeah yeah yeah oh god that stuff’s good though i like olive oil on my popcorn i like olive oil rosemary and a little bit of uh pecorino oh oh it’s like giotta i was gonna say that is absolutely in like the it’s movie night at home and we’re making popcorn here we go at litzin lady oh this is this is interesting i’ve never tried this nicole a little yellow mustard on kraft mac and cheese is surprisingly good i believe that why wouldn’t mustard be good on it i don’t know but why have i never tried this i don’t know i’ve done barbecue sauce i’ve done ketchup i’ve done certainly all kinds of hot sauce sriracha and i’ve never put yellow mustard on it it sounds really good actually so i think a lot of people don’t know what yellow what like mustard is right what what are the ingredients like a bottle of mustard what do they do to it uh they take mustard seeds and they add water and vinegar yeah but i think a lot of people don’t know that like they just oh i think that’s right people don’t know that right yeah like it’s mustard flour like the mustard powder that you get in the store it’s just yeah you grind up yeah yeah people don’t know that so you’ll see like mustard flour mustard powder whatever in the you know rachel raised mac and cheese probably has that in there for sure and so why not just put a little bit of vinegary hits it’s like hot sauce is just chilies and vinegar mustard is just mustard seed and vinegar why not this sounds like a delight i think i’d i’d get on top of this hundred percent i mean thank you listen lady underscore jordan hansen underscore says goldfish and cheddar cheese with italian seasoning microwave then then my favorite sentence what you know the shortest sentence in the bible it’s just jesus wept oh i thought it was i am yeah maybe honestly it’s jesus wept um that’s what the the sentence then ranch reminds me of um deluge then ranch um this sounds good high key i like do you eat it with your hands i’m guessing a spoon so let’s break it down goldfish you put the cheddar cheese on it italian seasoning on top of the cheddar cheese and then microwave yes which is a delight because then the herb the dried herbs are getting bloomed by the oils in the cheese when they correct that’s that’s ace that’s good technique then ranch of course because you need the cooling effects right you get the cold ranch on the hot mess in my mind this person is just uh swiveling that ranch on it’s he’s not pulling it on the side no no he’s he’s painting it on it’s a thick drizzle yeah it’s a thick drizzle correct it’s a fizzle um and they do the fizzle dance i was going to say this will dance right now it’s so funny uh this i’ve never thought about this either this is kind of blowing my mind it’s like goldfish nachos they’re like uh migos we should make goldfish meat guess one time we should definitely make goldfish makeup that’s good this is man shout out to people got great ideas today uh at bxg i’m going to say bixken next i don’t know how to say it screw it everyone should learn how to cook slash make their own bread false no way nah i don’t know man it’s like it’s like that one person who’s really into sewing clothes like everyone should learn how to sew their and i’m like nah i’m cool i know how to use a needle and thread i know how to put some you know scraps together and bake up a loaf but like i don’t think it’s like the most important thing in the world to know i think it’s stocks are more important to her learn how to uh change change a tire on a car versus making your own breath yeah do your taxes well honestly like if you had to choose between learning how to change a tire or making bread which one do you think is more important to your life i’m probably making bread probably right but i think changing attire is more important to know than how to make bread because in general both are like the argument but i mean just join triple a right because the argument is you just make you just buy bread yeah join triple a they’re there and like oh my god have you used aaa roadside assistance god thank god i’ve never had to use it dude no it rules it anything i just like locked my keys in my car and i called you it was like 10 o’clock at night under a freeway overpass in burbank and i was like i locked my keys in my car i called triple a and they were there in like five minutes it cost me nothing i paid like freaking nine dollars a year that’s good and the service always rules the contract what a delightful service point is you can pay most people to do other things you don’t want to do these days including bake bread probably better than you could do true the aaa dude’s gonna change a tire better than i could i’ve changed a tire before shockingly good uh i i like did it and i didn’t die that’s great and it’s pretty intuitive you kind of like take one off shove another one on and put the bolts back on what about like playing the stock market yeah i see i’ve never done that but i’d like to one day pay somebody to do that for me i’d rather learn how to play the stock market instead of learn to make like brio they’re not like perfect substitutes for each other what are you talking about i guess we all have limited time um no but i mean i i get the notion behind this i think more people should learn about the food system because i think a lot of people just don’t know how bread is made they don’t know what east is and i think doing that could be like a good just learning experience for somebody if there’s a zombie apoc coming short for apocalypse i think people should know how to make bread you’re gonna see flour no you can’t want to sell manila from it no you don’t it’s a myth okay um see brian junior says eating cereal from a cup or mug is way more convenient than an actual bowl eat this hate this do you remember how i told you how i eat cereal out of a blue silhouette yes and it bothers me yeah but i haven’t had it in so long because i moved out so i haven’t had my blue solo cup so now you don’t have a bowl like a regular person oh no my identity and i hate it um what do you why do you eat it out of a cup what’s enjoyable about it too it’s easier but why is it easier bowl too big cup up but why cup up why do you need the up the cup up is better why because i say so i’ll tell you why a bowl is better why is it cause you can’t get a full spoonful in the cup because yeah there’s not enough you have to tilt you gotta use the baby spoon no but then you don’t get enough cereal per mouth but no more cereal per mouth in bowl cup up no good josh mouse no no cup higher bull larger but diameter no spoon josh no dig no no josh shovel cups slow you down i i like actively hate eating i’ll eat a slop out of a mug i’ll make like us that whole exchange was really really upsetting but also very telling of who we are yeah we just kind of devolved into what’s that like early form of writing like cuneiform that was like spoken that’s so funny um it’s not even more convenient a mug is just a bowl with a handle i it’s i don’t know it’s the same amount of dishes that you wash diameter you’re again use a smaller diameter i want bigger diamond i want to eat my cereal out of like a shallow pasta plate you know scraping the surface i hate that i hate when they serve desserts that are meant to be in a bowl like in those like shallow plates i’m like now yeah and then i’m just like yeah you’re just like scraping it you’re like you’re like scraping like uh i just use my fingers to swipe uh conversely i got i ordered a tiramisu at a fancy restaurant recently and they observed it in a martini glass did you want to punch him in the face yeah and it was like a nice restaurant should have pushed him in like an ex like like not one of those like nice antiquated restaurants that would do something like that but like a cool modern restaurant it’s supposed to be cool oh in a martini glass hated it one tiramisu supposed to be like even layers yeah you don’t get even layers of martini glass because it’s a freaking triangle i mean it can be like even enough it wasn’t it wasn’t anyways at oh my god this is uh this is david restaurants should serve a hot food hot oh yeah nicole does this have anything to do with the steak that you paid a lot of money for a restaurant that was served no it’s mostly like it’s david and his family have this thing where like if the food hits the plate you gotta eat it while it’s hot i agree with that that is how that they were raised and that’s how they eat their food the second something comes off of the grill it goes on your plate there’s no downtime yeah and i think that’s smart i agree i think he’s just tired of these restaurants serving yeah i think he’s just tired of these restaurants serving like mid cold foods you know who like serves hot food well because that’s a that’s the thing that’s happened to me in multiple restaurants the pasta sits too long it gets sort of gummy and it’s not hot the steak over rests it’s a cold steak you know who serves hot food hot freaking chilis you go seriously you go to these like mass market restaurants that you know they’re a lot of their techniques and and workflows are like really dialed in from a corporate level because i’m like capital investment firm told him to in a powerpoint presentation uh and i went to like a chili’s or some sort of equivalent it wasn’t chili’s what was it oh it was a red lobster oh it was red lobster same thing uh but no the the hot food came really hot the plates were freaking amazing i love that and it was incredible and i was like this is a delight like i just certainly you know cuz you know restaurants they have plate warmers like they have it like use it you know it’s just annoying how they don’t use it thanks for writing this cute little thing babe love you oh i’m gonna throw up i’m gonna throw up your brother’s the next one oh my god oh god yeah okay well you know let’s go to my brother then we got at couch wine nicole is a hipster who only drinks orange wine i literally barely drink orange wine i don’t know where he gets these lies from i am he has this like he has like this idea of who i am and it’s just fake we’re all fake uh i recently uh went to uh a restaurant with him and watched him order wine it was unbelievable it was like watching people talking code like he went up to the the server came by and my brother was like yeah you know i’m a big yoshi lights fan boy but i don’t know if the riesling from this region right now is like bubble i think i was like ugh love yossi lights and i was just like who are you talking about who is he what is like a bts guy like what who you just like name a wine producer and then it got us a free cup of soup my brother was so impressive at a restaurant that there was like soup from the chef and uh yeah so he’s the real influencer here [Laughter] uh nema underscore hearts says mushrooms have bad pr fungus nema you’re so funny um yeah i love mushrooms and i think they’re starting to i mean like people are starting to like eat mushrooms more i think people were anti-mushroom for a long time because they think it’s gross yeah but now they’re like down i know what you mean like uh mushrooms and the new beans true you know like everyone’s you know that that hipster bean list that everyone was on yeah rancho rancho gordo so there’s like an artisanal bean farmer producer uh steve sandow i believe his name is rancho gordo they make fantastic beans good good bean oh fantastic beans during the pandemic they had this like bean of the month club or something and it now is a 35 000 person waiting list which is wild but anyways i i’m rooting for mushrooms to be the next like cool hipster foodie status symbol yeah like oh i’m on the i’m on the 19th of the waiting list for the lion’s mane mushrooms to come in people need to eat more mushrooms i do i play it’s such a diverse world and they are so cool and there’s so many cooking methods that you can use with mushrooms big fan go to a farmer’s market and find the mushroom guys that’s a weird mushroom guy yeah i love water it smells a little dark yeah it smells damp it smells like he’s been in a cellar it smells dusky he’s probably been in a cellar yeah but i don’t care no i just think it’s so cool how like mushrooms are like there’s so many different kinds of mushrooms and also watching people forage mushrooms is really fun oh there’s like just kind of root around like a pig and just kind of dig and yank them out it’s like they like educate there’s like people i forgot what they’re called there’s like mycologists yeah mycologists that can
