A deli, something. I’m a hot sandwich guy. You’re not a sandwich guy? And I don’t mean like a meme. That is bold. I don’t mean like a meme, you know? That’s a bold… Like a meme? I’m a cold sandwich guy. Like if you found out, “Oh, have you seen the hot sandwich guy?” It would be like a meme, right? It would be, a guy who worked at a sandwich shop who was hot, and that’s not what I’m saying about myself, okay? Mm-hmm. Yeah. I’m saying I’m a hot sandwich guy. Got it. Yeah. My kids are hot sandwiches I like hot sandwiches. From Jersey Mikes, I always get the #8, the cold sub. That’s the best. That’s my favorite, like classic deli sandwich. What is? I don’t know. I haven’t memorized that menu yet. Yet? So I don’t know. Okay. Get to work. But it’s required reading for all Mythical employees. It’s ham, turkey. Okay. So like a cold cut, a multiple cold cut situation. Yeah. Throw it all on there. Mike’s Way, no tomatoes. Got it. Got it. Extra oil. Extra vinegar. Okay. Okay, I was just curious. I think that’s just my favorite classic sub is the Jersey Mike’s #8. All right, that’s a good answer. And I really like the Philly from Jersey Mike’s with those peppers. Hmm! And the mushrooms and onions and cheese. Oh, it’s so good. Okay. Sandwiches, I don’t like a dry sandwich. If you’re not gonna throw oil and vinegar on it, don’t talk to me. What’s your favorite? I’m also a wet sandwich girl. Good. Oh, that is a meme. I like a- They work together. It’s a cycle. Two of… I like to go halfsies. You know? I like to split, so I get like a lot of sandwich. The different kinds of sandwich, you know? So I’ll go hot and cold just to play it loose with it. Oh, but if you had a fave, Oooh What is your favorite? Listen, I don’t like the answer I’m about to say, but it is true. If it’s true, it doesn’t matter. And it’s tuna and it’s something that I hated as a kid. And uh. Your favorite sandwich is Tuna?! It’s embarrassing. Why? Is it embarrassing? Cause like, Cause it’s tuna! it just doesn’t sound Sexy. Yeah. Does it have cheese on it? I like Swiss cheese. Not a tuna melt. There’s something about making it hot that I’m not into Oh, you don’t do a tuna melt Cause I was gonna say, I can get with a tuna melt. What other toppings do you put on it? Lettuces? I like a oil and vinegar situation. Huh? Onions. Yeah. Some shredded lettuce. Oh. Yeah, but pretty basic. Well. I know what my favorite sandwich is. I think that’s, I think you’re doing a good thing. A lot of people make a mistake of just getting a tuna on bread, maybe add some mayo, but like, and that’s it. You’re doing a good thing. You’re adding the stuff. I appreciate you trying to make me feel better way. You shouldn’t feel too bad. Don’t be embarrassed. Just a little bit bad. Yeah. Don’t be embarrassed. Are you counting, like a Nashville hot chicken sandwich is my favorite sandwich. No. Is that not a sandwich? No, not counting. I mean… I don’t think. I know that’s what you’re- not Yeah. Like a deli sandwich But I’m saying I like hot sandwiches so much that there’s nothing from a cold cut situation that can get even 10% to a Nashville hot chicken sandwich for me personally. Mm-hmm Okay. Sometimes I’ll crave that Jersey Mike’s. And then what do you do? Same. I order it. You order it. Yep. You call ’em right up. Yep I do that, I indulge. All right, hit us with the- Maybe that will help you in this game where you’re guessing, what did you say Link? people’s sandwich, sandwiches. Peoples have sandwiches named after thems. There are restaurants around the US who have sandwiches on their menu that they have named after celebrities. And you’re going to have to guess which celebrities these sandwiches are named after. Starting with Fox’s Deli in Rochester, New York. Oh god. Sorry Rhett. I’m taking… I’m sitting out in this round. They have a sandwich loaded with hot turkey breast, bacon and tomatoes, topped with melted American cheese and served on a hard roll. Yeah, of course. Rochester hard roll. Like, yeah, come on guys… People lack taste. I will say. Well what? I feel as if they’ve named this sandwich in a tasteless way. You have a thing with Rochester? One of my beefs is with Rochester. Oh, really? Yeah. I guess I’m, I can’t keep track of all of them anymore. Yeah, well that’s a big one. Oh my goodness. I didn’t know that. They wrote an article about it. It’s cause they have white hot dogs. Yeah. Oh, okay. I remember that. They got hard rolls. Rochester. I didn’t even know about that. I don’t know, who’s a New York? Is this.. New York? I’m gonna give, I’m gonna give you some options. Is it a comedian? But in a way… No. Is it- A Musician? Accidental comedian. I feel as if this is a tasteless naming because of the reveal of why they did it. And it’s in one of the ingredients when I said hot turkey breast. That is why this sandwich is named after this person. A hot turkey. So it’s a booby joke? Yes, it’s. Uh Yes Well so most famous boobies Dolly Parton. Yep. You got it. You got it. Okay, boobaloobaloobies. Yeah. And she’s probably never eaten it, doesn’t know anything about it. Oh, she’s at Fox’s Deli all the time. Oh, she loves it. Right Flies on up there Up there in Rochester. Flies on up. Stage deli. Okay, this is a little bit more reputable here. Vegetarian sandwich with Crisp Falafel, Israeli salad, hummus, lettuce, tahini, hot sauce. Which Adam Sandler character is it named after? Hanukkah song… man? That would just be Adam Sandler. Hanukkah boy. He was… When did he play someone who was openly Jewish, in a movie. Like that was the point of it. Oh. Did you.. Mm. I didn’t, I didn’t read anything. This is… I don’t know this. You don’t know this movie? Yeah. Is it a movie or a character? And at this point, I don’t know if I’m more embarrassed about the tuna sandwich or not knowing this, but- Well, what decade? Happy Madison 2010. Happy Madison is the name of his production company cause it was Happy Gilmore- 2008. and Billy Madison put together Oh. 2008, Lil Nicky. Nope. The choices are gonna give it away. The Happy Gilmore, the Zohan, the Big Daddy. Zohan. Yeah. And it’s named that because apparently Zohan eats a lot of hummus in the movie. And this sandwich has hummus on it. Okay. I Didn’t see Zohan No, I didn’t. I didn’t I didn’t see it that’s the thing, I didn’t know it was a thing. What was i doing in 2008? What were you doing in 2008? Not watching Adam Sandler movies. Grinding. 2008, We were trying to make our way in the world. We were grinding. Become internet-tainers. Yeah. Pappa Charlie’s Deli in Massachusetts has a sandwich with grilled chicken breasts. This is not, it’s not a hot breast. Okay. Well, I mean it might be hot, but you know what I’m saying? It’s not about breasts. It was hot Dijon when it was being grilled mustard. What? It was hot when it was being grilled. Yes, it’s true. Barbecue sauce, coleslaw and pickles on a toasted roll. Which actor with a penchant for singing, is this sandwich named after? A singing actor? Oh. And the reason it’s named this is because it was this celeb’s actual order. So this celeb did go to Pappa Charlie’s. Travolta. Singing celebrity. Singing actor. Yeah, singing actor. An actor who sings. Why am I forgetting… Bradley Cooper. He sings, he sang in that movie. Uh-huh. It is not John Travolta or Bradley Cooper. Give us another hint. I’ll give you the options. An actor who sings. Hugh Jackman. He sings. Joseph Gordon Levitt or Neil Patrick Harris. Neil Patrick Harris. Yeah. Hugh Jackman? No, it’s Neil Patrick Harris. Oh. Why You just thought he was like a grilled breast man. I love that the… This looks like the kind of sandwich he would have The picture is like… this is a user-generated photo. It says “Credit: Pappa Charlie’s Deli.” Like they took that picture of a half-eaten sandwich? I think Neil took it. You know, Neil has a bar in his home. I was told that. like a bar for entertaining people. Is it an ice cream bar? Like at Graceland, all those ice cream bars everywhere. We we recently went into- I kinda have a bar at my house a new friend’s house and they had a… There was the house that they had bought- Had a bar in it. was owned by some like old Hollywood person from like a hundred years ago. And they had kept all the weird things that this dude had done in the house. And one of them was- it was strange. a full-sized bar. Like it looks like you’re in a restaurant, like just right in the middle of the living room. Like, and that’s when we said, I was like, the only thing I’ve ever seen like this is Graceland. Where you would have like a bar in your house, but it was bigger than the bar at Graceland. It was crazy. We got wasted. No we didn’t. No we didn’t. You guys wanna hear something kind of interesting about me and sandwiches? Yeah. Only if it’s kind of interesting. I didn’t eat meat for seven years and I just missed turkey sandwiches so much that I came out of my pescatarianism for turkey sandwiches for turkey… Seven Years. That’s what did it? Yeah, I love them. I thought you were a baptist. A Baptist? Yeah. Oh, no. Half Jewish. Pescatarian. Turkey sandwiches? And then.. Turkey sandwiches is what drew you in. So, cause some people say that when you go off of meat after a certain number of years, you lose the taste for it. But that never happened to you? No. I like craved it like a pregnant woman with cravings. Like I craved it, yeah. But then once you started eating Turkey sandwiches, you just started eating whatever? Yeah, it just kinda opened the floodgates again. It’s like, well If I’m doing this, I’m doing this. Yeah. It’s a gateway. [Stevie} It’s a Gateway sandwich Everybody knows that. Ah, I don’t know why you… I consider that a dry sandwich. I know you can make it wet, but like… I think it’s about getting- Turkeys dry. The right sauce on it. Yeah, like avocado and stuff on there. It’s not dry anymore. A turkey sandwich can be good. I won’t lie to you. I’m a ham man. I actually think sometimes… Wait, so you think turkey is dry and ham is wet? Oh yeah. Okay. Yes. I know, I think he’s right about that. Oh, Yeah. What?! There’s a… Pulled chicken on a sandwich, I’m not a fan of that either There’s a lot more fat cause that’s dry But you wouldn’t just put ham on bread and be like, “this is a wet sandwich.” It’s wetter than a turkey sandwich. Well, it depends on the turkey. I will say that if you get turkey that has been like processed, which you shouldn’t, it has had things injected into it and then sliced. And I would think that if we were to do a side-by-side test of like a deli turkey. Now I’m not talking about like, you cook Thanksgiving dinner and then you’ve got leftover turkey breast and you throw it on a sandwich. Yes, that can get dry, but that’s what gravy’s for. But if you just… Even sliced turkey That’s not a turkey sandwich. That’s a leftover thanksgiving sandwich. But if you do a turkey sandwich with deli turkey, I think the moisture content is gonna be the same for ham and turkey. I’m going on record as saying that he’s right that ham is a moister meat than turkey. But I think that if the moisture content of like sliced ham from like Boar’s Head and slice turkey from Boar’s Head has the same content. Yeah. As a wet sandwich girl. I feel as if I have the authority to agree with you on that one. I do feel like the moisture content is the same. So I think it might be something else in turkey that you don’t like, It might not be the dryness, It might be The flavor. Oh. I don’t like anything about it. I think it might be the flavor. If all turkeys went extinct, I don’t know what it would do ecologically. But personally, I wouldn’t bat an eye. Sorry, Carney. I feel like we could lose turkeys. We could lose Turkey. It’s alright. All I know is that my 40th birthday, which is a long way away, I’m going to have a turkey sandwich truck and everyone’s invited. Yeah. Wow, I’m in- Turkey sandwich truck. Maybe hide that on the invite. I’m intimidated. I don’t know if I can show up there. Quick reminder, sign up for the Sporked newsletter. Why would you do that?

It’s like, get a little dessert on your hot hard Roll. Roll. I struggled so much this morning. I went outside, I breathed in a feather or something. I don’t know what it was. I had a coughing fit. I came back inside. I thought I was gonna have to do a trach on myself. I could not take a breath in without inducing a violent coughing fit. I’m talking like granddad with emphysema at the pool type of coughing fit. You know what I’m saying? Everybody drops what they’re doing and just looks at ’em for a while. I’m so loud, Jessie’s upstairs. She’s yelling “are you okay?” And I’m like, I can’t answer. She comes down and I’ve got a knife in my hand. No, I didn’t go that far. You’re cutting a hole? I was cutting a hole, but it wore me out. I’m tired because I coughed so hard and I feel like, just like general pain from the struggle that I experienced. How did it resolve? Did it come up, the feather? It didn’t, I don’t know what happened. I think my body just ate it. You know, sometimes it just gets off of the thing that it was being irritated by and it just, like, your body is like, okay, now we make it part of us. Wow. So that’s that. Did you get scared that you were… Did you really think about a trach? Eh, in kind of a, like, if this doesn’t resolve in a few minutes, what am I gonna do? But you were coughing, right? Yeah, but I could not- Which means the air was- Yeah, but I couldn’t get a breath in without inducing a cough. And so I was like, I’m not gonna get to a place where I can’t get enough air in. Wow. That’s scary dude. It was awful, man. It really just reminds you of the frailty of life and the fact that it’s not a great design that our, that our esophagus and our windpipe share a tube. Come on now, come on. Could have been two tubes. Really, really could have been two tubes. Yep. Yep, Hmm. Could have been a dual tube. Okay.

That narrows it down? Comedian or? Oh. What kind of actor? It’s an actor and comedian. Movie actor, television actor? Television. Okay. Television actor. Comedian, actor, Comedian, television. Quite famous. Quite famous. Especially in the 90s. Seinfeld. Yeah. Seinfeld, huh? Yeah, it was called- I made it The Jerry Seinfeld comedy special sandwich. That’s his thing, huh? At New York’s Peanut Butter & Co. But that place is gone. This does not look great. I don’t- it does to me. He likes cinnamon that much? Yeah. No, but. Yikes. What’s that? Oh, that’s like the packaging of the peanut butter that was used. That’s like- Yeah, it’s like you smush it out and then there’s a carrot there. Makes it healthy. Huh. You know, it’s the little things. The good stuff eatery in DC has a turkey burger with a free range turkey patty, veggies, Swiss cheese on a whole wheat bun, named after… I’ll give you a hint. Someone that lives in DC or lived in DC or is associated with DC. Barack Obama. Close. Michelle Obama. Yeah. Michelle Obama. Listen, I’m sure Michelle has great taste in so many things, but turkey burgers are bad. Turkey burgers is the best form of turkey, I’ve ever had. I think they’re always bad. I think turkey burgers are always bad. We could just lose turkey, forget about. It’s called Michelle’s melt and it’s a nod to her attempt to get Americans to eat healthier. Yeah, quite, So now how do you feel it was an attempt. about that? About bashing on turkey burgers? Yeah, we could lose it. We could lose the turkey. Yeah.
