Jordan from Sporked. ♪OOOWWWWEEEE Look at that go♪ Come on a little closer. There you go. That’s good. That’s good. That’s good. We almost called Sporked “Sportan” so we could say, it’s Jordan from Sportan. That would’ve been actually really fun. Yeah. Cause it would be fun to rhyme that way. Yeah. You brought in a Dr. Pepper. I did. This is what I use in the office to cleanse my palate. Oh. The best You have great buds. Thank you. All right, crack it open. All right. This is really embarrassing. I have fake nails on. Cause I initiated my best friend’s wedding this weekend. It’s like the first time I’ve ever gotten my nails done and I can’t do anything. You initiated a wedding. Did I say that? Yeah. Well, hey, you started it. No, listen, when you officiate for the first time, it’s an initiation. You were right. Wow. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. How, how was it? It was good. It was really scary. It was a big wedding. And. Ooh. How, how, how, how many people were we talking, talking about? I’m kind of bad at this, but a 150 people, 200 people, maybe. Okay, that’s enough to get nervous, Right? Big wedding. I don’t know. And I’m never been nervous to perform, but I was very nervous. How’d you do? Did you, did you like say anything embarrassing? I did. They’re, they’re both comedians, so I tried to make it a little funny. It, you know, it was. You brought a rubber chicken. I brought a rubber chicken and I accidentally married my friend to the chicken. Whoops. Get home. Yeah. I think I did a good job. People are like very complimentary after, but how could they not be, you know? Hey, listen, if you didn’t do a good job, they wouldn’t say anything. All right. I’ll take it. I did a good job then. You did a great job. Thank you. Meanwhile, I was just at home looking at a guy pet donkeys on TikTok. Okay. I love that. Is it. What’s his name? Yeah. Oh, I don’t pay a, I I I don’t have a relationship with him. How do, well, how do you get back to him. I don’t. You don’t get back to the donkeys? How are we gonna do this? Yeah. It was a one-time only thing. Whoa. If you love your donkeys, they’re gonna love you. You made it sound like, it was like a whole afternoon of, you know. A wedding’s worth of watching donkeys be pet is what it sounded like. Well, it was one video, but I did keep watching. It. It made quite an impression, I see. That was 150 to 200 donkeys. Yeah. Boy was petting them real fast. Yeah. If you love your donkey, they’ll love you. Aw. And they’ll, they’ll protect your wildlife from snakes. Yeah. Whoa. Not wildlife. Your, your livestock or whatever. What do they do to the snakes? Step on it? I think they stomp ’em. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They honk at ’em a little bit. Yep. My mom had a donkey that was killed by a dog. So it wasn’t that smart. Oh my god. Yeah. It can go sideways. Sorry. That’s so sad. It’s so sad. And because this guy was petting the donkeys and like he was talking, he was like, donkey love time. And he was just petting the donkey. I’m sure he didn’t say that. He said. I’m sure he didn’t say “donkey love time”. I think he said time to love on the donkeys. What kind of dog killed your mom’s donkey? A big one. One that had escaped from a neighbor’s pin. Yeah. One that was very, very hungry. Isn’t that sad? That’s so sad. Mmhmm Mmhmm Yeah. There’s a movie out right now with a donkey in it. Yeah. I saw this movie. Is it? Have you seen it? I’ve seen it. Yeah. Let’s do this though. Okay. All right, so we’re gonna make nachos and you’re gonna give your opinion. Great. But we’re just drafting the ingredients and then it’ll be assembled. So. Who gets to go first? Who. Gets to go first? You. Oh wow. And why did you do that? I know why you did it. Why? Just tell ’em. No, I wanna hear why you think I did it. Well, I know, but just tell ’em. Okay. It’s because people say sometimes that I look like the Yass-ified version of you. Oh. So, so I’m kind of, yeah. Yeah. So I feel like we’re similar. I see it. I see it. We’re similar in that way. We also both have strong opinions. Yeah. People think we don’t like each other. That’s so funny to me because you are my boss and I think people forget that. They’re like, whoa. Like they’re feuding and I’m like, that would be so strange if you Right hated me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well. And you could hate me. It wouldn’t be strange if I hated you. Okay. I guess it wouldn’t be strange if you hated me. What? What’s happening Wouldn’t be strange if we hated each other What do you want from this? Bring the donkey in! Bring the donkey in! Thank you for letting me go first. My pleasure. I am gonna start with. You were reaching for shredded lettuce, which was, was very encouraging. My guy. I’ve got to go with guacamole first cause I don’t want you to take that. Okay. I would like. And where am I gonna put that? On your side. I’m put it over here. I’m gonna go with queso. So, so Jordan, these are all Sporked picks for the best in each of these categories of the, of the, some of them, right? Yes they all made the Sporked rankings. So some of them are, are the best or the runner up, but they’re all things that Sporked liked a lot. And if you wanna assemble the best tasting nachos and not have to run interference with your, your doofus friend over here, just go to Sporked.com. What’s next? What did you take homie? You took. Queso You went. You, you did that, huh? Well, somebody’s gotta do it. Okay. I’m not really threatened that you’re gonna take the shredded cheese now, but if I leave it on the board and then he takes that too and hogs all the cheese, then my nachos are gonna suck. That’s true. I also wouldn’t talk strategy out loud. Yeah. Yeah. He can’t do that Jordan. Well, I mean, if I take it, there’s no strategy anymore. Yeah. But if I don’t That’s inviting him now then. Yeah. Oh, I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t have taken the shredded cheese. Don’t you mean “Yass” I meant “Yass” Yass-tified me. Don’t we? I mean, look at us. Let’s start traveling together. “Yass-ified” there’s no “t” in it. There’s no “t” in it. “Yass-ified”? “Yass-ified” “Yass-ified” Yeah, yeah, yeah. That’s great. Man. This is the old ground beef versus shredded chicken decision. And I don’t know which one you like more. I really like… Oh! What I’ll say is I like one more than the other Me too. There’s one that I really want and there’s one I don’t really want at all. I would like ground beef. Boo! That’s the one that I wanted. Wow. Well I like shredded chicken. Oh shoot! You do? Same. Same. Dang. But the, the flavor in the beef. Oh, it’s so good. It’s good. But the texture of pulled chicken is like euphoric. Now. You know that. It’s, it’s kind of stringy. I’m trying to help you. Well what, what do you mean? Like what you mean to make me think that I’m glad I didn’t get that. Yeah. But. I definitely don’t want this and I definitely don’t want this and I definitely don’t want that. And I definitely, I couldn’t eat that, but I kind of would like that. And I definitely don’t want that. And who cares about that? Keep in mind I’m the judge. Yeah, right. Oh, you’re a judge? He’s having a dif- Yeah. He doesn’t understand the rules, but I don’t know how it’s gonna matter. Well I gotta go with the chicken then. You shouldn’t. Okay. Yes. I mean it’s the only meat. It’s the other, it’s the other meat. Did you read that somewhere? Did I read what somewhere? Are people saying that? That you’re the “Yass-ified” version of me? Someone, and if you commented this, thank you. cause I think about it a lot. One time when I first got hired here, Justine and I were on an episode and people say, said Jordan and Justine looked like a “Yass-ified” version of Rhett and Link. Ah, yes. And I don’t think you and Justine look that much alike. “Yass-ified” But it kind of just made the. It made sense. It made it work. But when I look at you, I do think if you put me into like an AI filter that made you into, you know, looking like a man with like a beard and you know, I’m like, I think I would look kind of like you. Yeah. We both have glasses. I can, I can, I can pull off an overall Yeah. Occasionally. I think we both have thick hair. We have thick hair. Well. There you go. And we have. Where’s Justine? We’re both opinionated. We’re both opinionated. Yeah. Okay. Well I don’t wanna. And we’re not afraid to talk about it. I don’t know what your opinion about sour cream is, but that’s where I’m going next. I’m really interested in that particular, I. That’s incredible. This looks really fancy. Yeah. I think you should stop buying. But bring that packaging out. Stop buying sour cream. Start buying crema. This is crema Mexicana. Ooh. Yes. Gosh yes. This is incredible. If you like the sour cream at Chipotle, if you’re not familiar with this, but you’ve been to a Chipotle. Their sour cream’s a little saltier, a little thinner. Yes. That’s what this is. It’s saucier! Unbelievable. Made with sea salt. Drink it. Don’t drink it. It, it smells like yogurt. Oh yeah. cause I’m putting it all over mine. Cause you don’t get it cause I chose it. Okay, so what do I need now? I do need, this is gonna be melted. This is, this is my icky, icky, this is like the stuff that holds the stuff that goos it and that guzz it and then that meets it. And then I do think, you know what I want, I’m tempted. I think he’s got whichever beans he chooses. I’ll go with the other one. But I, I think I’m gonna take this salsa in here. Good, good strategy. That looks, that looks good. Yeah, that was, that was, so I’m, I have, I have a, I have a. Now you don’t get salsa, so that’s gonna suck for you. Not exactly. So I’m gonna get the pickled jalapenos. I do. Like those. They’re my, one of my favorite things that you can have. Now I’ve gotta stay right here and then I’m, should I go with black beans or refried beans? So I’ve got salsa, chicken, cheese, guacamole. I’m going with the refried beans. Good pick. Okay, I’m gonna go. I would like the pico de gallo. And you’re gonna have to stack it cause this is where my head lives now. So the pico de gallo and the jalapenos. That’s my salsa. I know it’s not the same, but I have queso, which makes it, you know, makes up for the shredded cheeses. Okay. And then what is that? This is what’s left black beans, black olives, lime quarters and shredded lettuce. I didn’t think I was gonna choose shredded lettuce, but I don’t, I need a little bit of crunchy munchy. Boy. Black olives are very polarizing. I love them. How do you think I feel about them? Well, you like Dr. Pepper. So you like black olives. I do! Yeah. Okay. Boom. And then it all comes down to the lime quarters, just to give you a little bit of something. And I got the black bean. This is your fruit. Yeah. I think lime quarters are underrated but necessary. Okay. So now we’re actually gonna make these? This is actually gonna be an interesting battle because. Ooh. They both look pretty good. There’s some things really, really competing here. Ooh. Who am I? The “Yass-ified” version of? Me. No, no, no. What do you mean? I’m like the boring version of you. Oh yeah, you’re right. That is how that works. Yep. You’re the “Yass-ified” version of. I think my former me. I think I’m on, I’m on a, Whoa! I’m on a path of Yasification. I love that. Yeah. Yeah. That’s really nice. Yeah when you’re done with that outfit, I’ll let you borrow it. Pass it on, pass it along to me. And the glasses. Yeah. I’m looking for more glasses. Let’s, let’s, let’s start doing this. Okay. So what, what do you think should go first on mine? Oh, you can’t ask those questions. Oh really? Yeah, you can’t ask clarifying questions. You just have to make it. I think Yeah, the chicken first. And then see if she’s into it. The chicken first. Now Stevie, I know you’re a huge nacho person. Mm hmm, That’s true. So are you feeling like there’s a clear winner here? You know, I think you both landed in acceptable places, but different places. Yeah. I mean, when you have to draft, it’s like building an all-star team here, you know, you don’t get everybody that you want. I will say if I were making nachos, there’s some, there’s, there’s a person that I would go with. But taste wise, I really, it’s up in the air. I think that maybe some, maybe not he olives part for me. Love olives. I love olives. The olives in Mexican food thing is questionable. Just so you know. They didn’t give you sliced olives. It is interesting that they’re whole olives and you are doing kind of an unbelievable amount of them. It feels like 50% meat, 50% olives is what I’m looking at. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I, I want you That is ugly. I want you to be able to make a choice. I want you to be able to make a choice. Okay. And I guess I’m gonna put. Are they cooking these? Yeah can we? In your mind? Yeah. Can we heat this up? No [Off Set Crew Member] We have a torch. Oh yeah, yeah. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Let’s do the torch. It’s torch time for daddy. Okay. And sorry, did you, you do your lettuce already? Where is it? Well, he’s gonna torch. [Off Set Crew Member] I’m gonna hand it to Rhett. But there’s nothing for him to torch. I don’t, I don’t have to torch yet. Yes. Because mine is melty. [Off Set Crew Member] You pull down the top. Oh, you pull down the ta top. Wait, don’t. Ohhoho, look at that. And then you hold it and it’s all the way up on plus. Do you want help here? Yeah. Yes. Wow. It’s actually working pretty well. Ooh. We don’t wanna burn it. This feels like we’re dancing and I’m letting you lead. But you’re not trusting me enough to do it on my own. Well, I wanted to do it with you. See how much we like each other? I can see in Jordan’s eyes, like you had a conflict between like comedy and safety. And you’re like, I’m unsure. We’re always riding that line. Yeah. Nope. Well. I, Okay. I do the down. You do the push. I do the push? What this is? There’s a lot of cheese. We can, well we can do a little. You blackened it a little. You’re gonna brule it a little There we go. Who’s controlling that? Or is this like a oui board? It is. There’s a demon involved. The Spirit. The spirit of St. Nacho’s has, infiltrated. Feel like that chicken needs to be cooked a little more. Sure. I feel like we gotta go to the back a little bit. Or the front technically. Why? I like my chicken charred. If you want more of a charred type thing. All. Right, let’s, yeah, let’s, let’s not. Let’s not do that. That stank! That nacho extra stank! Okay. So just keep in, keep in mind he just burnt some chicken on your nachos. Yeah. I’m giving people options. So it’s only me. It’s, I just can’t say that enough. I’m judging these. It’s not people and it’s not you. Yeah, yeah. Right. Yeah. I’m done. If you’re done. Okay. Okay. I’m gonna heat mine up a little bit. And then I’m gonna go with. Man, I gotta tell you right now, this whole place stinks cause you just burned that chicken. I’m just doing this not to melt, but to get to good temperature. I don’t like a lot of that. Okay. I’m eating it. And then what? And then this, that. I’m, I’m making a choice here. I’m, I’m giving you options that’s just right here is called a “guac pile”. A “guac spot”. Okay. Why don’t you just burn it? The G-spot some might say. Yeah, yeah. Right where it is. And you just gotta, you just gotta reach around for it. Is this the same as that? This is just taken out and put in this cause it feels a little bit. Thicker. This is in case you don’t, if you don’t like this stuff. [Off Set Crew Member] They’re the same. It’s the same. Oh god, what’s that stank? You made it. I did a lot better than Rhett. It seems like. It looks nice. Oh! I’m trying to create an experience that is, you know, no matter where you go in this thing, you can find something that you want. Make yourself, make yourself a bite there. Okay, it’s time? It’s time. Be careful. Like I said, we both have thick hair and I’m assuming you got a lot of hairspray in there, right? Probably? No. No? Just pomade. Oh, okay. May I as well? Please. Please. I wanna try to get one with everything on it. Which is. Which is hard. Because. Oh, okay. Going pretty good up here. That’s nice, that’s nice. That’s nice. Jordan says, Jordan says she likes it. Jordan says that she identifies with how good it is. That’s so interesting. What are you doing? Jordan. Jordan is thinking to herself, No one knows. And, and sending her thoughts through her de-“Yass-ified” component. Counterpoint Link. Jordan is talking through Link right now and saying how awesome his nachos are. Jordan, you wanna try my nachos? I would love to try your nachos. Yeah. So keep in mind we have the wonderful crema. Yes. We have interesting flavors including black olives and pickled jalapenos. Okay. Let me go in from underneath. There’s some black beans in there. There’s ground beef. I know you’re not crazy about that, but Hey listen, I don’t dislike it. There’s, these are lit. I gotta get a, I gotta get a pickled jalapeno and I gotta get a whole black olive. Is there No, spit out the pit. Olive-y. I know we like ’em. It’s right there now. But it was on your hair and there it is. Oh no. And then I’m gonna keep going over here, says Jordan, because she likes this better. She says. Okay. This feels like a manipulative. All right. Oh, that burn chicken smell is getting back here finally. No, it’s, you’re good. Okay. I have to say, I gotta, I didn’t get any ground beef, so I gotta try one more of these. Oh god. Oh, okay. We did good. We did good. We worked together. All right. So feels like pandering. What I like about Link’s, nachos. I like the brule of the chicken. I like the melt of the cheese. I love that you got the refried beans because I think they add so much flavor. Yeah. My cons are I wish the toppings had been more distributed. Hmm. No, this gives you options. Okay. Nevermind. Because now you can say, I want more, I want, I want more of a guaca bite. I hear ya. And then I want more if I thought a salsa bite. I hear you. All right, well there you go. And then the thing I like about Rhett’s obviously is the distribution. I think you get a little bit of everything in every single bite, which I love. I also think you can’t have nachos without sour cream or crema. And I think the pickled jalapenos give it a great bite. Wish the olives were sliced. Do feel like Me too. Do feel like, you know, but that wasn’t your fault. You can slice ’em in your mouth. I didn’t even think about that. Okay, so. A word from the chef, you can slice them in your mouth. Slice them with your mouth! Okay. And you’re gonna make a little one of these. Oh man, I’m really. Don’t, don’t, don’t mind me. Okay. You know what, before you say who won? Sure. We wanna tell everybody about the Spork’s regional snack bracket. Oh my gosh. This is so good. You guys are having your first ever regional snacket bracket. How excited are you about this? We are so excited. We took two Twitter and Instagram to find the best regional snacks from every region in America. Oh, cool. And people got to vote. And the ones that won, we ordered them all to our office and we’re gonna taste ’em head to head and see what is the best regional snack in America. Oh Crap. Sounds like something we should be doing, not y’all. Yeah. Okay. Well head over to Sporked.com, create your own bracket. I’m jealous. And then stay tuned every week to find out which regional snack is winning. It’s better than sports. It is better than sports. And the winner is Rhett. Oh yeah! I’m sorry, Link. I really, I really. That happened real fast. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was like out of the blue. There was no buildup. You ripped the bandaid off. Wait, so Jordan, what is, if you could draft like what, what, what be your perfect nachos? Oh, tortilla chips, refried beans, shredded chicken, crema, pickled jalapenos, salsa. Queso or shredded cheese? I prefer queso, but I like both obviously. I just think queso with a nacho is so easy to use. I like that you can just heat it up in the microwave and then you don’t have to bake the whole tray of nachos. Are you doing this for me or for you? Yes, for you. And may I have some? Yes. This, this stuff right here is the takeaway. Don’t you, don’t you forget. And don’t, and you can thank Sporked for that right there. This right here is gonna revolutionize your nachos. Thank you Sporked. Thanks for having us. This honestly, both of these nachos were really good and I would happily eat either one of them again. I will, I’m still working. We did good. We all did good. Sporked is holding the first ever regional snacket bracket. Rep your region by creating your own bracket over on Sporked.com and keep up with the standings by coming back every week.
