ramble if the checks mixed pieces were different high school clicks the theater kids would be mini breadsticks but which piece are the cheerleaders this is a hot dog as a sandwich ketchup is a smoothie yeah i put ice in my cereal so what that makes no sense hot dog is a sandwich a hot dog is a sandwich welcome to our podcast of hot dogs this 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 nicole i know that we said a long time ago we would never discuss politics on the show but we did i think it’s time that we get really serious you know and discuss what’s the best piece in the chex mix bag oh my gosh i know it’s gonna get controversial yeah of course naturally it’s just human nature but we there has to be a forum for healthy debate in this world nicole and that’s that’s what the heck we’re doing today damn you want me to just go out and say how i feel right now no i want you to pussyfoot around the subject for the next 90 seconds okay and then finally kind of work up the courage to tell me your real thoughts well all the checks mixed pieces are important and equal but there’s one standout that i think we all know i mean it is just in your face and you know that that chex mix piece is the piece it is the only piece that really matters i disagree i know i know you know what i know do you wanna do it on three what i’m gonna say well i’m gonna say what you’re gonna say on three because exactly what you’re saying i hate you you are a piece of crap what is what i’m gonna say also what you’re gonna say no oh you have a different one and i vehemently disagree with what you’re about to say okay ready yeah one two three right chips no it’s not right chips and i’ll tell you why because there is already a standalone product called rye chips that exists and it’s made by your company oh yes even though are they owned by the same company as chex mix general mills since the late 90s of course they are so i’m saying that nicole if you want if you want rye chips you get a bag of gardenos no i don’t no no no no see you’re thinking that i just want a solo bag of rye chips and that’s not what i want i want to why why why why why why wouldn’t you want the single best piece of checks makes in everybody nicole because life has ups and downs and checks and balances and sometimes in life you need to eat the crappy little mini ribbed breadsticks for my pleasure for who’s pleasure so you know in life sometimes you need to eat you know the crappy little pieces to really savor the really good rye chips i don’t know what it is i like fishing through and collecting them while also eating the rest of the chex mix am i weird what’s your general strategy for chex mix eating gosh so um what i like to do is i like to put the dark pieces together so the rice the dark chex pieces yeah the whole wheat chips those are the best because they carry the most flavor like i don’t know why they’re so dense but like whatever seasoning powder they put it’s like a burnt triscuit it’s so damn delicious so i like to put the the dark pieces together and i eat them together and i try to eat the right chips alone but i also will eat it with the chex and then um i throw away the pretzels no you don’t i always i either throw away the pretzels or i just ignore them completely okay and then the red sticks i might non one a little bit here and there and then yeah i have a whole methodology i will go through and instead of throwing away the pretzels i will put them all in my mouth at once i will go through through the entire mix and put them all in my mouth and just get them out of the way uh-huh you get them yeah i’ll take a sip of dye dr pepper and just wipe my palate clean and then i have an ideal snack mix where all of them i think have good merits right right chips we’re talking texture on that i love the crunch the shattering crunch that’s a shattering crunch but that said like you talked about the chex mix is a bag of uh like contrasting textures fun times fun times it’s the best road trip snack agreed i think so and not only originally today i’m talking bold party msg this is not scientifically verified yet but more msg per square millimeter of snack food than any other snack food i’ve ever had it is so good it is just msg white pepper uh and it is fantastic vinegar there’s a bottle of vinegar on it or something really i think i mean is it worcestershire okay so incredible whatever it is to get my official answer out of there nicole it is called chex mix the best piece in there it’s the corn chips is like a precursor to doritos 3ds check serial one it’s a fantastic cereal oh yeah it has horrifying uh history and origin behind it you were telling me before this yeah we dove into the research okay so we’ve talked a lot about how every soda brand started off as some sort of heavy narcotic right sure there’s just cocaine in all the sodas there’s lithium in it all that um conversely every single wheat based snack food grain-based snack food started off as some insane like religious wellness cult from the 1800s like you had uh corn flakes right where john harvey kellogg and he was giving people yogurt enemas at his sanitarium you know and then post was started by one of his acolytes graham crackers were started by the the gramites who believed it could temper sexual urges i had no idea that chex mix was part of that via this strange cult called ralstonism that was also oh my gosh have you ever austin no but i love finding out about cults so this is a new one for me uh yeah it was also horrifyingly racist i mean straight up pro eugenics um i also love to point out when companies have like historical nazi ties fantasy soda we’ll get into that one day but like uh yeah the origin of checks is absolutely horrifying um just to like get into it a precursor so it was literally created by the purina company yeah so didn’t start off as a dog food company it started making that and then they eventually separated brands but it was called the ralston purina company and they introduced czech cereal in 1935 originally called shredded ralston to try and appeal to the ralstonites um and then they changed it to wheat checks you know the purina logo the red it’s like a red checkerboard yes yes checks checkerboard ah right oh the checks literally looked like the purina logo um so anywho the original checks came out in 1935 and then in like the uh 1950s they published czech’s party mix right the swinging 50s world war two baby boomers done let’s let’s get drunk drink some probably beef bouillon based cocktails and eat some chex mix yeah what is that about i’m seeing that on my on my tl really beef beef stock cocktail dude i’m back into it campbell’s started this whole campaign where they called it um stocktails i think that’s great but yeah i really there’s a drink called a bowl shot that has like a vodka and beef broth and probably whiskey and stuff in it i really enjoy it interesting you drink a bloody mary yeah anywho so yeah literally checks were created by uh a ralstonite and they believed okay ralston is an acronym that stands for regime activity light strength temperature oxygen in nature what’s temperation temperation is not drinking like uh withholding things from yourself like the temperance movement i’m kind of down though no no no don’t bring back the temperance movement no no no no no no with with okay uh regime that’s good activity is generally a bad term no no regime means like you know like like a diet is a regime yeah you have a regimen like a regiment yeah okay activity great light shining vitamin d strength is so important maybe not temperation like moderation okay a little bit oxygen need it you need it you love it nature want it yeah this sounds like fun what they didn’t include in the acronym for again the inventor of checks was that they believed in like forced castration of non-white people that’s rough that one’s that one’s i don’t like that we officially denounce this thing i don’t like that part that said uh the the times holy crap insane that all these cereals have that sort of origin it’s really maybe people were just crappier before maybe oh yeah i mean you know this is mid like mid to late 1800s yeah you know um any standards of morals flash forward 1952 original recipe for chex mix is created but it didn’t end up in bags on shelves until 1987. great so that’s the general timeline going from like a racist pseudo-religious wellness cult uh-huh to then a cereal made by a dog food company to now being in all our homes and shelves in 1987. um wow nicole does that change the way you think about checks i was pretty floored by i mean it’s crazy to think about but a lot of origin stories are wild yeah so i’m kind of like desensitized to wild stories at this point that is true yeah it’s very interesting and i’m glad that like you brought it to the forefront but gosh if someone takes my ride chips i’m gonna be pissed off if someone gets the right chips off the shelves we’re gonna fight i like how we joked about politics in the beginning yeah and then now it’s like well racist forced castration wellness cult um any whom corn checks you like orange it’s the best pizza it’s the best pizza can i ask you a question how do you feel about muddy buddies oh muddy buddies are interesting to me what are tell the people what muddy buddies are if you know what muddy buddies are something that the rich attractive christian kids moms in high school would make and then they would send them to school with a giant tupperware full of it or they give out individual bags to people for gifts how many times you got a bag what did you ever get a bag sometimes i didn’t get a bag and i was like is it because i’m jewish like did you think that this was just did you think that you were being respectful by not because like money buddies are people would make them for christmas is it a christmas food but not it’s not like a historically christian food you know what i mean it’s not like jesus was uh eating you know money buddies with the disciples no no no um but i don’t know people would make them around christmas time okay interesting at least i’ve never actually made them what are the ingredients um i think it’s melted chocolate with powdered sugar maybe peanut butter some people corn syrup yeah people put like sugar it’s like a coated chex cereal yeah and it’s so good it’s so good oh there’s so much just hydraulics okay let’s see yeah czech cereal peanut butter chocolate butter vanilla salt and powdered sugar so good it’s okay and they started selling those in stores now too that came like much later than the original chex mix i have an idea why don’t we make chex mix muddy buddies but like the whole bag just you want you just want chocolate covered rye chips you feed you absolutely do you think i care anymore i don’t care anymore i’m i this is a good idea if you think right in the comments on the apple on the apple podcast page how much of a good idea that that is i think okay i’m i’m fascinated by how many flavors that chex mix has come out with yes because like the original the original flavor of chex mix the original recipe that was posted on the box in 1952 uh which was actually from like the wife of the founder of the company it was a melted butter worcestershire the only ingredients were uh like wheat chex corn chex and peanuts oh and there’s this worcestershire butter and like onion powder og and you just melt it on there bake it off till it dehydrates it becomes nice and glazed i want to bring back the original yeah here’s the thing here’s the thing i love like you said you only want the rye chips because they have something else to contrast off of mm-hmm i’m the opposite i would just like a giant bag of seasoned chex coated in butter and worcestershire and then the occasional peanut nicole that’s occasional peanut occasional peanut that’s where my politics lie very very good i love me some cheddar chex mix no i disagree entirely i i think the original flavor of just pure msg really is the best way to go like to me the bold party mix can never be oh yeah the bold is like next level i’ve had it all i’ve had i’ve had the honey nut the salt savory i don’t like the honey i don’t like the honey nut i think i think keep sweet things sweet keep salty anything salty unless you’re talking about um kettle what are they called popcorners what have you read popcorners what is it you know pop chips yeah the like air puffed potato chips they sell at the costco now they got a brand of triangle shaped ones called pop corners i mean it’s also made of popcorn do they give them do they give them on airplanes yes dude yeah dude i hate them so much no me and julia we were we were on a flight and we literally ate six bags of those we killed the kettle corn ones yeah i saw them at the store and then i bought two family-sized bags and we’ve just been eating we’ll dip them in ice cream oh man yeah pop corners that’s the only salty sweet snack that i approve of everything else not a big fan yeah chex has those crazy flavors they have the maxed the spicy deal maxed yeah don’t love it oh it was disgusting i was wet how was it so wet yeah i don’t know they i don’t know how they make chex mix wet but they did it the recipe was literally we’re covering this crispy cereal in sauce and then we’re baking it off right i guess and then i’m almost fascinated though by the fact that all these pub mixes like they were a big thing because of these like you know 60s 70s like party era things and i feel like now it’s only for depressing offices not chex mix chex mix is the one okay that but like utts oh like that kind of pubmed you know what i mean that pubmed they sell like staples if you’re selling your food with the sesame sticks yes i love them i don’t i think that i think those are great i think we need to bring back artisanal pub mixes hmm okay that’s a big thing what would you put in your artisanal pub mix ooh ooh that’s a good idea uh wasabi peas uh-huh got me number one ingredient uh no wait no hold on hold on if we’re really doing this nicole we’re trying to plan a business that’s all this podcast is sometimes yeah this is just trying to get out trying to figure out how we can stop doing this this is the best part it’s the best literally best part of my day but that said yeah always looking for an exit strategy you gotta look at like i’m thinking about these new uh snacks like pedos right they’re like cheetos made from chickpeas because they’re healthier there’s another one that makes a puffed lotus root oh never had that one oh my god they sell them in whole foods it’s called i can’t remember it’s really nice anywho we need to take these like ancient grains right we aim and we can lie about it yeah we can lie about it too we can say it’s amaranth and then it can just be like a a washed cheeto you know that we’re chopping into smaller bits and then we gotta dust it with like some sort of like black garlic seasoning right something buzzy fuzzy you know i hate black something like uh really yeah it’s like it’s like jammy it’s like garlic jam sweet it’s like sickly sweet yeah it’s sickly sweet there’s only so much i can handle i like raw garlic instead i actually that’s in general to not that we ever get lost on tangents here i’m sick of roasted garlic i i think more people need to realize how good raw garlic like people make garlic bread or you know i don’t know mashed potatoes and everyone’s taking the garlic and they’re like to make it more potent roast at first like that makes it so much less less potent yeah it’s literally less bone you’re muting it you’re caramelizing the sugars yeah yeah i one time ate a raw garlic clove and it ruined my life remember that yeah wait was i there exactly that was for the live yeah yeah i did it on set and i was like really trying to i was it was during a fancy fast food episode and i was like uh gagging throughout yeah and i did it and i was stoic as hell remember that i was so stoic but i was like dying on the inside [Music] there are few better foods to eat during the summer than a nice juicy grilled piece of chicken or steak or

cheddar squares the little cheddar triangles in there and that was like how we were friends oh i have a lot of stories like that do you think you’re on the right side of history nicole in most things yeah in like at least 98 of things i do what do you what do you think most people would say their favorite chex mix pieces huh i would like to think that people think like me nicole the answer to the survey posted by buzzfeed which i oh my god one of them so legit one of the major three political polling places they’re the ones that that feed bloomberg and what’s the other one uh pew research center uh uh what’s what’s the other one i don’t know what you’re talking about no i do like a lot of actual pulling i have no idea what you’re talking about is quite the one that does that when you say 43 nicole 43 of people said that the big brown toast looking thingies which is wow what a scientific is that the righteous hell yeah yes and then and then 29 said the yellowish tan checks which are indeed the corn chexy used to be fun fact here it used to be a mixture of corn and uh wheat flour chex was it they’ve since cut the wheat flour to just do next one the brown chex comes in at 10 43 right chip 29 corn chex 10 wheat chex 14 ribbed for anyone’s pleasure breadsticks and then and then nicole at a whopping 4 the pretzels yeah because the pretzels are the worst part they’re whack that is that is shockingly low four percent yeah i just assumed there’d be some sort of like rounding error anywhere else i have a question do you like the round pretzel more or the window princess i like the tongue out the whole the round pretzel yeah then i have fun yeah you used to just like kind of sit it on your tongue yeah but then you get the window pretzel and you know off the corners to try and create like a little shape like just throwing stuff yeah like a shuriken shuriken is what it’s called and then and then if we nicole if we flip the data if we flip the data here in a poll from baby center which is one of the leading hold on one of the world’s leading centers for baby it is four babies by babies and of babies and there is a poll that said what checks mixed pieces could you live without and nicole there are upwards of 448 voters on this oh which to me that is the most scientific poll that has ever been conducted what checks mixed pieces could you live without effectively asking what is your least favorite rye chip came in first at 36.2 no no let me tell you let me tell you let me tell you the problem with this what’s that the question is being asked in a weird way yeah it makes my brain hurt what checks me mixed pieces could you live without is like saying it’s the grammar is wrong or something it’s not the grammar no this is actually part of political polling though where they call it negativity bias yes if if so if a pollster calls you which that’s how they actually used to do polls and still do even though now the data is so skewed because it all predicates on the fact of who the hell is going to pick up a phone and it’s always just an old person who’s mad that’s right but it’ll be called negativity bias if someone says like hey do you have time to talk about govern governor gavin newsom if somebody likes newsome you know if they’re like really all form which i don’t know that i know a single again not getting political i don’t know a single person that’s like we really love gavin newsom who’s willing to talk to them about it where if somebody answers the phone and they hate gavin newsom and somebody goes hey do you have a minute to talk let me tell you about gavin so there is a negativity bias where people will actually respond more strongly if they have that negativity bias and so in this what checks mixed pieces could you live without people feel strongly that they don’t want the right chips so nicole rye chips aren’t just the favorite necessarily they’re the most polarizing wow and in an increasingly polarized world nicole i think you need to denounce your love of rye chips and get on no no get on the moderate train of uh corn checks moderate doesn’t get stuff done moderation when you’re moderate nothing happens nothing happens you need to stick to your convictions and go with it and move forward accelerationism and whoever gets in your way run him over run him over right chips for life if we were to start if we were to start our own sort of like mythical kitchen wellness cult okay you know like we don’t necessarily have to okay all i’m saying we have an audience you know uh we have a voice we have the propaganda machine maggie you’re down to be minister of propaganda yeah maggie’s in um good news uh oh my gosh what what actually though what would your like core tenants be of like if this is what you should eat no one has ever asked me this before what are your core tenants of your of your wellness rituals that you would like like food or just like in general both like like if you look at them everyone has to go on a walk for at least an hour listening to the music that they like [Laughter] that’s number one that’s not a call this is a walking club it’s uh what is a cult if not a hobbyist group are you going to play a subliminal sound in their music no no my cult is going to be just free loving just energy vibes that’s how they all start and then you start starving them with proteins go through my other tendons or whatever you said let me go through my pillars and then 27 people dead in the tokyo subway that’s how that’s how it happens so i have a walk do you want to do since it’s collaborative this call so number one go on a walk for an hour listening to music you like okay um at least three times a week dead lift to within ninety percent of your max to spike your central nervous system okay number three listen to hot dog is a sandwich every day for at least three hours yeah after that though you’re gonna want to supplement it with sounds of jaguars hunting that way it just increases your testosterone spikes that so you cover faster from the deadlifts okay next chex mix for every meal every single meal is jackson mix yeah yeah but the chex mix is sprinkled with creatine because that way nicole people think creatine just adds water weight your body’s 80 water most weight is water weight it flows your muscles it makes it harder that way you can do more deadlifts listen more sounds jaguar hunting and eat more chex mix okay that’s good i think there’s nothing i think we got a base mega huge draft up a deck thank you so much uh we’re gonna pitch it to purina and be like hey oh my god you wanna jump back into the weird cult game from your world can i just say something i love this conversation because i feel like i’m tapping into like my childhood right now in a weird way does that make sense because chex mix is just such a childhood favorite yeah it’s like it reminds me of being in like third grade it reminds me of like hanging out with my homies was it like the premiere snack food on i would play around i would say what other ones had the like cultural capital that chex mix had hot cheetos yeah maybe later maybe we were too young to eat hot cheetos at that time but it was definitely oh famous amos cookies famous amos interesting famous amos cookies were hot on the market chex mix um if your mom really liked you she would cut up fruit free and put in a bag but then you would throw it away because you’re a bad kid that’s me sorry so yeah i think those were the three that like defined my childhood at least um flavor blasted goldfish had to be flavor blasted because they were new at the time and so for me i was always like literally the bold party mix chex mix has such uh it lives in my brain rent free i see what you’re saying kids would say uh but flavor blasted extra cheddar goldfish which i didn’t even love i don’t even love nicole and i still don’t and i don’t think goldfish can have a candle can hold a candle to your chex mix yeah either i’m trying to think what else though uh milano cookies those are ones that i will always resent oh my rich hot kids had them yeah milanos were not it no no they wanted to be but we wouldn’t let them where do you stand in the uh in the gardeto’s verse chex mix what one bat two bags in front of you one checks makes one garden oh my gosh which one are you choosing i’m picking gardenos you’re picking garbage i’m an adult now and the packaging is more dull is it just me the colors are more like baroque the style is like chica i love gardeners i know it’s like i’m walking into delhi and it’s like this is the chicken mix of my people so one thing that authoritarian regimes do right authoritarian regimes they like to create an illusion of choice okay so actually in authoritarian countries uh the opposition parties will be run by the authoritarian government and so they kind of like yeah they kind of i mean it’s all in in george orwell’s 1984 right where big brother literally starts the opposition and so that way when people join it and they find out it’s run by the government they go oh they really do have total control right and the goal of propaganda isn’t to get you to believe things that are false it’s to get you to question every belief that you had to the point where your thoughts are so malleable point is gardetos and chex mix both owned by general mills they’re the same company nicole i think the rye chips from hold on hold on okay i think you’re calling me papa but i was like i think the rye chips are literally coming off the same factory floor i think there’s i think they’re the same product well i mean granddaddos has different pieces entirely they don’t have checks in it but what are the pieces of gardenos i don’t know let’s go peace for peace peace for people i’ve been listening to a lot of political podcasts i can tell well more about the history of wars that’s good at least you’re an educated man shout out to the lions led by donkeys podcasts they do good work lions led by donkeys yeah i believe was a term from uh uh world war one referring to to enable generals who led uh brave men anyways yeah what are the gartetto’s ingredients crunchy breadsticks pretzels double roasted rye chips is that really it no there can only be three pieces in gardening maybe pretzels pretzels there’s two kinds of breadsticks oh yeah there’s there’s like pretzel sticks and breadsticks right but is that really only three pieces this one’s kind of messing me up no no you got the right chips you got the pretzels there’s two breadsticks you got the breadsticks there’s like a flat breadstick and then there’s the ribbed breadstick so the red breadstick and the rye chips they’re calling these double roasted rye chips mm-hmm i don’t know that i buy it nicole i like i uh maybe we just need to buy both of them and taste them in a blind taste test oh yeah they got the little fat bread loaf i love the fat bread loaves are so much better oh my god the fat bread loves man nicole draft your ultimate snack mix team right now based on your knowledge of gardeto’s injectments rye chips mini fat bread sticks uh brown chex um maybe a handful of pretzels just to ruin everyone’s life is that good and we’re bringing back the original peanuts from the recipe oh yeah i’ll throw like a couple peanuts in there for texture yeah yeah and we’re not bringing back the original ideology of the cult that spawned checks again horrifying people what the hell was wrong with the world no but you can follow our six pillars five yeah six pillars which are go on a walk every day listening to the music you like for an hour dead lift to 90 of your max weight three times per week um listen to our podcast for three hours listen to the sounds of jaguars hunting eat chex mix for every meal creatine and there you have it folks join the official hot dog is a sandwich don’t call it a cult cult will be out flyering at your local college campus making people real upset [Music] alright nicole i’ve heard what you and i have to say now it’s time to find out what other wacky ideas are rattling out there in the twitter verse it’s time for a segment we call up a pinyon garlic casserole [Music] okay ariana i see you all so hey do you like podcasts i hope you do i love them you’re just sitting here like resenting yourself i love them so much i love one in particular that’s going to be coming out in two days called best friends back all right we tread with stevie and nadine yeah they were they were uh best friends in high school and then sort of lost touch after graduation yeah and then now as uh 30 i don’t know if they’re public about their age so that’s like a weird thing for me to say anyways they’re trying to like see if they can rekindle which is to me really incredible concept yeah i think it’s sweet if there was one person from high school that you could do that podcast with you would rekindle who would it be like my actual friend or like my sworn enemy because i kind of want to do with my sworn enemies oh that’s a good idea yeah so um josh newman if you’re hearing this josh newman let’s let’s be friends man i’d probably do it with terry pace was that your friend terry yeah yeah he’s a chef and elaine i should probably just call him instead of this i could always just terry i’m gonna i’m gonna give you a call man um i miss you it’s been i haven’t seen each other in like god probably you know 11 years yeah anyways i’m like friends with everyone still oh yeah but you’re local you’re a little yeah i’m a local local chick terry’s nelly now though um anyways first up we got at randler rose meatloaf is a house food and should never be ordered at a restaurant ah i never ate me loaf at home yeah i’m fair it’s like uh there’s a couple what i would call like um don’t call koopie the meatloaf no i wasn’t gonna call goodbye i was gonna say there are several uh yeah not a pc term whatever like it’s my culture i can say like white trash delicacies that you never had like sloppy joes you never made chili before not really they’re all kind of subsets of the same dish of something likely ketchup or tomato based uh with ground meat yeah um i’m a huge meatloaf fan i think it is a very fantastic food really if you do it well yeah i mean it’s a giant meatball it’s the same recipe as yeah meatballs are an art one time i think one of the one of the producers got a meatloaf sandwich and i’m like hey can i try that i’ve never had that before and then they’re like absolutely and i tried i was like ah okay i get it kind of like sandwich maybe yeah i don’t need the bread because meatloaf has bread in it oh yeah breadcrumbs or bread or just bread soaked in milk that’s how i like to do it nice um i like a good restaurant mean loaf i think it’s a good way to gauge how good somebody is here’s the thing here’s the thing i’ll counter with steak should be a home food that you should never order at a restaurant oh i disagree steak is very easy to cook well and most place most restaurants they’re just seasoning with salt and pepper they’re just cooking it on heat unless they have some sort of special crazy grill they’re using whatever you can do that at home better than they can meatloaf takes a lot more skill than steak if anything never make a meatloaf at home only trust professionals with it you’re silly last time i had a restaurant meal was probably a guy fieri’s restaurant where i had his like backyard barbecue bison barbecue meatloaf that’s a lot of bees yeah it was really good uh just a good as meatloaf you know i like good asm i like ass meatloaf okay dj cereal sauce says takis with a banana nut muffin that is fresh out of the work vending machine must be work vending machine never had a banana muffin that is squishier and softer than a working within a work vending machine muffin nicole you ever been in an office at a vending machine like they had to pay for you had to like put 65 cents in yeah no but i’ve been to like hospitals that have vending machines i’m sorry like vending machines aren’t like typical well okay so like me is that weird no not at all you haven’t worked in a lot of environments where they haven’t uh no when i worked for a magazine we were in like a very old school like 19 stuck in the 1980s office and we had a vending machine that took the exact change only and so if you wanted to make nicole you had to have exactly like 30 55 cents why would you think a muffin cost i said oh i i don’t know i’ve never seen it before i don’t know what i’m go look at the banana cost michael ten dollars no i just thought you said 135 when i said 35 and i was like twins but whatever but no there’s something special about a work vending machine because one you’re already likely in an uncomfortable scenario being stuck at work that you don’t enjoy and then the vending machine it’s like you have to go through a whole process right of putting in the coins and selecting it it’s like it was made just for you and then when it finally comes out you’ve turned that commerce into something crazable that you can eat i understand this also there’s likely some sort of like steam and bacteria creating some sort of like heat from that so it’s gonna be a little bit warm ew oh my god that is that is disgusting i know it’s good is it legal oh no yeah yeah of course dude it’s great um no a lot of the diet cokes were expired in my old work vending machine okay well i have one question didn’t you work for a food publication we were we were a general interest publication but we won awards and we only made money because of our food so why did i give you guys food for free uh we had no money yeah we were so poor they just oh my god yeah they would just lay people off they were like christmas one day the ceo just came in and like pointed at people and like you don’t have jobs anymore sorry okay but the talkies with the banana nut muffin weird yeah i don’t know you know just glossier the acid the acid of the takis i think it’s gonna clash with a bit but i i get the idea of needing comfort at work interesting all right at uh mysmy22 buttered kaiser roll doritos smoosh maybe throwing orange soda in there i think they mean thrown orange soda into the greater equation yeah not into the sample don’t dip it in um a chip and condiment sandwich i wouldn’t go butter i would go mayonnaise of course of course but a a potato or a potato or corn chip sandwich with some sort of condiment delight i was just hoping you’d take geyser roll guys are wrong no the way that he says kaiser blade some folk called a kaiser blow it’s a casual blue some folk goddess ling roll some fool called a kaiser roll thank you so much i am fulfilled maybe throw an orange shoulder in there i’m so fulfilled right now yeah um i would totally eat this 100 i’ve probably eaten this it’s like that british sandwich the chip buddy yeah but instead of chips it’s chips crisps crisps crisps no yeah it’s a crisp crisps yeah yeah crisp buddy okay next uh emil dailert says this is kind of niche welcome to the podcast swedish pizza needs to be recognized as its own style skoosh about pineapple on pizza how about pineapple chicken banana ham and curry powder how about some north sea shrimp on it how about a donut kebab pizza with all the fixins we’ve had swedish pizza correct yes did we order it from a place around here so what happened was it was the first it was our first podcast do pineapples belong on pizza when we used to record it so our faces were on the internet too yeah and you got us a banana curry kiwi pizza i don’t know i think it was shrimp it was banana curry powder and shrimp so that’s a classic combo in the swedish cannon of pizzas wild uh yeah it’s from uh viking pizza in kabob because uh it is a persian dude who lived in sweden moved to glendale opened up a swedish style pizza and kabob restaurant and they they have all of it they have the the donaire pizza they have the the shrimp and banana um they have something one word just called pizza salad that’s just like a little cup of like marinated cabbage that i guess it’s a salad you’re supposed to eat with your pizza um if we’re ranking pizza styles you know i don’t i don’t know that i have this in my top 50 100 per se i really love it i love the the i think it’s cool i think everyone should try it at least once everybody should try it everyone should try shrimp banana and curry powder on a pizza i want to eat the donut kabob one and i recognize its autonomy as a legitimate pizza style for sure i do as well yes yes at dr dunt pancakes with vanilla ice cream and fresh squeezed lemon juice on top is god tier dessert had it for the first time in sydney australia many years ago there’s only one way this could be improved what’s that lemon curd lemon lemon kid put some lemon juice put some lemon kid on it a little bit of zest i do agree that warm pancakes with cold ice cream on top is one of the best combinations in the entire world i’m like salivating at the thought of it oh my god i think they had that that was we we made it for gmm once it was like an uruguayan mcdonald’s specialty it’s like dulce de leche filled pancakes topped with freaking soft serve and that’s the ideal i i don’t think you should make uh pancake sandwiches on or pancake sandwiches i don’t think you make ice cream sandwiches with cookies make them a pancakes yeah what are we doing oh that’s a brilliant idea all right band geek255 when i was a kid i used to dip my french fries in my frosty pretty normal but i would dip my fries and ketchup first this sweet salty combo is pretty dope um i believe that for you the thought of that makes me a little ill i’m not gonna lie that’s the mma shyamalan twist that i was hoping for i did french fries and frosty okay bit but first i dip them in kitchen oh gosh wild um what do you do with the ketchup stained frosty you just have to sit no you dip a naked fry in it okay but but but when i get yogurt in the peanut butter jar nicole because cross-contaminating spoons from my morning protein shake you say that’s bad and i shouldn’t do that but i say i say i figure out the yogurt stains and then you say you say we all eat that peanut butter i said i’m not stopping you from eating that peanut butter i’m just saying that i have finger yogurt in it so you’re a vile you were heinous you were just a heinous heinous individual oh my gosh no man don’t that’s not it okay okay here we go baby girl [ __ ] though i think it’s a hungarian name bread toasted with ketchup and cheese makes the best poor people pizza like it more than real pizza no no best poor people pizza here is a flour tortilla you take that you put a little bit of cheese in it you put another flour tortilla on that because tortillas are i mean they’re really like four cents a tortilla if you’re buying if you’re buying the right stuff and then you top that ketchup great cheap option but also you get the canned tomato sauce not the jarred tomato sauce they charge you for the jars the canned tomato sauce will be 49 cents for a can of hunts it hunts perfectly fine and you smear that on top with a little bit of cheese to me that’s the ideal poor people pizza i like this poor people pizza more this is fun but this this goes too far from pizza i think the pizza dia is the way to go well that’s you i like this one i’m on your side baby girl you’ve made ketchup toast which is a good dish i like yeah the cheese helps oh definitely i’m down i’m like craving hot ketchup right now it’s weird oh we got salads for lunch this sucks i’m so excited for my salad oh i hate this i want ketchup i’m gonna make ketchup toast in the kitchen okay opal dreit says there’s nothing wrong i’m sorry i’m already laughing there’s nothing wrong with sticking an entire sandwich in the microwave to melt the cheese a little yeah obvi it’s tough though it’s tough because microwave bread it will it will get weirdly hard on you very quickly that’s okay so i don’t know if you’ve ever seen me do this i’ll just microwave a plate of cheese yeah you do this for food styling techniques as well yeah you microwave the cheese and just get it nice and kind of melty you just sort of get the fridge chill off of it and then that’ll melt really easily sure yeah but also if you got the time man ooh stick in a sandwich like get like a turkey avocado tomato put the cheese on top of it broil the cheese the heat just gets the tomato enough yeah kind of brings that sandwich up to room temp and gets the juices leaking a little bit yeah whatever you want maybe go for it oh this is interesting steph makes what dollar store hot sauce and canned mangoes including juice blended up drizzled over generic toaster waffles it was a breakfast that really carried me through the struggle years this is a good struggle meal this is a creative it’s a great struggle meal this is also like two steps away from being like a 19 brunch dish exactly exactly i think they’re using el pato by the way you think oh that’s the dollar yeah yeah my mind immediately went to the el pato yeah yeah i uh my dad worked at a dollar store growing up and not one of the big corporate ones not 99 cent only not dollar general it was just one owned by an israeli dude in front of in in oceanside and my brother and i used to set up a lemonade stand outside but then he wanted to cut the owner the israeli owner and so where i’m like eight years old and we’re trying to like negotiate he’s like you’re in front of my store you’re stealing my customers what if they want to buy a juice for me yeah yeah yeah i didn’t listen he had a point can i say the d word listen what a dick so we gave him that was how yeah we learned about predatory capitalism as children um any of them his name was osi oh see if you’re out there 99 store owner from oceanside um i forgive you i guess i don’t know here’s the thing i think no my brother am i neither of us stole anything it’s bad don’t do it um but you know we all did things that we’re proud of i think if anything we stole the lemonade powder from the 99-cent store to sell in france and he probably knew that i probably knew that which is why looking back it’s just all a closed loop you know he has so many funny stories really they’re so traumatic but so funny thank you for always sharing man okay veggies and virtues says fresh basil is a must for breakfast sandwiches fresh basil plus jam slash preserves just elevates the dish the sweet savory earthy one two three punch that’s a ko these are very well written opinions by the way i love the voice that people are using y’all are stepping up yeah i don’t want to say that unless we got like a new crop of fans recently and that’s what’s going on but you’re doing great just the way that these are written like people are like very passionate and you can pathos yeah

on a damp tremolo on some eggs i’m going to yell at you look what basil basil if i ever see you put any sort of green sauce because there’s like cumin there’s like a lot of like fresh if i see
