Thank you to hay grill Hay for making
this podcast possible.
So it turns out
my mother in Law's listening to our podcast.
I hold.
I was at,
at
my wife's grandparents house.
And
she... They're moving. So she's been trying to
give us all kinds of stuff while we're
over there. And I have to keep
shutting things down because they're moving. They're, yeah.
They're moving up to moving with her. It's
the whole thing. Oh,
we'll talk about off the air. Okay.
But
I think they're crazy. Laurie. I think you're
crazy.
I was, like, just moved down here.
She and my father lot, both work down
here.
It doesn't make... We all live down. It
makes no sense. You know? She's just like,
I don't like the heat.
Auntie live here.
Yeah.
Everybody lives here. Everybody... Unless they live in
Arizona,
which is just Maui.
And his family, obviously.
Yeah.
Ammo kids don't live here anymore?
They're moving back. They moved to Hawaii, but
they're coming back. So... Yeah, That's the whole
thing too.
Anyway,
she was trying to hand me, she was
like, you guys want these dishes, these like,
these little
like, kind of like a little
cup plate type thing that you might put
soy sauce in. Okay. And she was, like,
you can use them to mix your soy
sauce and Sa saying Like, 00I was like,
That's hilarious. Because I kind of forgot that
anybody I know Listeners to this. So...
Oh, it is too funny.
Anyway. So... On that note, though, I was
watching...
I brought him up before his name's Chris
Broad. His Youtube channel abroad in Japan. And
he was with,
like, he goes to travel different places and
they were having Sushi, and he also specifically
did it.
And his Japanese friend, like, handed in the
Was to put into the soy sauce, like,
I don't think it says Taboo maybe as
we thought. Mh. That's good.
But I don't know. I... The 1 that
happened, I like, oh, that's weird. I... It
could entirely just be, like 1 suit she
chefs and set it, and I take everything
really personally.
You look like, well this man clearly represents
an entire culture. So
I saw weird, not a weird, but I
saw video with
I have no idea what this was from.
It was neil d Tyson and Anthony Bo
talking.
Yikes.
And I should have sent it to you
guys. I don't know why it I didn't.
But
he was talking about
fresh fish and he said, that's
anybody that tells you that their sushi was
really good because the fish was so fresh?
That was hard to say.
Has no idea what they're talking about. Basically,
he said fresh, you don't want fresh fish.
In fact, like the best sushi restaurants. Will
intentionally either freeze their fish.
1 he said to get rid of the
critters.
That was the term he used, and I
thought was pretty interesting.
But also just to age it a little
bit. He's like,
you don't... Fresh food is not good. Food
at the perfect point of decay is good.
And I was like, that's
interesting. Wildly interesting thing to hear. Yeah. But
he was, like, you don't want fresh fish
for your sushi, not like fresh fresh fish.
He said when you catch
a fresh fish. Man, I gotta... It's... This
is tough.
And, like, eat it right after you catch
it. It's not as good. It's rubbery and
rigor set in and stuff and hasn't like,
eased off or anything. And I just... That
was really interesting because it was kinda counter
to everything I've ever thought about eating
fish and mean stuff.
But, I mean, you'd... I guess, it's kinda
true.
Like,
even with steaks, like, they're better if you
let them sit out for a while, sometimes.
Right? And let the seasoning setting in or
whatever.
So... Yeah. I don't know. Was very weird.
Yeah. That is interesting. Yeah. I know like,
steak steak cooks that do the barb, like,
the competition steak circuit. They... A lot of
people will put them in, like,
they'll put it on an elevated cooking rack
in side, like an aluminum pan and then
put, like, a lid, a plastic lid on
it. Like...
So the sun can still get through, and
they'll let it sit out in the sun
and bring it up
to 95 degrees internal temperature just, like, out
in the sun. Like they're proofing the stay.
Yeah. That's wow.
But it makes it so they have... They
can get, like, a per. So then they
go straight onto the hot grades, and then
it's just a perfect edge. It's ready to
accept the sear. Yeah. Perfect edge to edge.
Medium pink.
That's how a lot of them get. Yeah
That's cool. I've never heard of that.
And honestly, it as a judge of these
competitions, I can say that they are stellar
stellar bites. And you're not dead, so they're
obviously not that bad for you.
No. Most
most
most bacteria takes more than 4 hours. That's
the rule is like,
between 40 and a hundred and 40 degrees
is, like the danger zone,
and it... But it's like more than 4
hours before.
I don't know that it's been
That's all I know. I don't know the
tests behind it. Maybe that's something I should
look into, but
they've tested it. I know we've talked about
this guy on here before, but, he's actually
been popping up on my feet a lot
lately because he just recently did a new
challenge. Your feet? My feed. Oh, the raw
meat experimenting did. Oh It's know. He... I
don't know if he's still doing it, but
he was recently doing
testicles every day. Testicles. So... Yeah.
But rocky Mountain oysters. Oh my gosh. I
almost yank just not. All kinds of oysters.
Oh,
like, yeah. He anyways.
What did he make?
Peanut. He made a peanut butter smoothie, and
it was like, peas a nut and butter
and he just blended it. And drank it.
He was like, peanut butter smoothie. Yeah. Gosh.
Yeah. That's gross. That is disgusting. But, man,
that guy, I've watched
eat raw chicken, and he's... I watched him
do it 2 years ago, and he's still
making videos. So I don't know how
I'm not advocating for any of this. So
I just... I'm questioning
everything I know about food safety, and everything
I've been taught.
Because if you can just...
I mean, maybe he's getting it while it's
still cool and it's within that window where
the
bacteria hasn't set in. I don't know. No.
It's based... As far as I understand it's
basically gambling because not every...
It's that
Rob Poultry could carry Salmonella.
If it was
presented to it at some point.
So it's just... In case it has it,
it's best to cook it to this temperature
because between a hundred and 40 degrees, a
hundred and 65 degrees, it kills it all
off.
But they've...
I I think if you tested
20 different chicken breasts. I'd be I'd be
super surprised if any of them had someone
else.
Because I think we've gotten pretty strict with
our food standards and
but you don't know how it was handled.
You don't know where that chicken breast came
from.
This is true.
I mean,
aside from the chicken breast.
I get interested yourself? No.
Yeah. But, like, but where... But, like, the
farm and the This post liberation. Yes.
Liberation
Liberation of Yeah. It's mortal coil. Yeah.
We we bought... This has changing in subject
a little. I'm sorry. What subject go for
it? We bought chicken breasts the other day.
From our local associated food store.
And we... I I it was just in
the styrofoam package covered in plastic, you know?
I get it, and I take them out
and Have them.
They were,
like,
Like, you can't say like, thick breasts and
not like laughed, but
they were so... Like, they were, like, there's
no way
that I thought I thought I I don't
know I don't know. I thought they had
to have been printed, like, 3 d printed
in a app, like, meat 3 d printed
that just
and they didn't even taste. Like they were
so... They were hard. They were difficult to
eat. They were chewy and the texture was
weird, and they weren't even good. Yeah. Probably
from the like, you know, weight lifting. Yeah.
Steroids. Yeah. Actually the steroids probably too but
the chicken push ups. Yeah. 1 when my
dad is going to prepare
like chicken breast. Sometimes he'll find them and
just be like, they're really big this time
and I'm like,
I just... Because that same thing, I don't
think they eat as well.
That's like, basically, the... I mean,
I would rather cut them in half and...
Yeah. I wish we would have. Yeah. Well,
they're their their meals are not based on
the food they should eat. They're based on
what we're gonna eat. And that's
kinda messed up. I saw something the other
day about chicken wings, which I've already thought
of, but I try not to think about,
but I saw it in a depressed me
and said,
there's 2 wings per chicken. So if you
get 12 wings, that's 6 chickens that died
so you get out chicken wings, and then
6
re... I mean, I know they do other
stuff with it. But, you know, it's just...
When you think about how many chicken wings
we eat,
as a society, there's no way we're eating
the rest of the chicken that fast.
Dude, not just as a society as a
species.
Thing around the world.
Yeah. The amount of chicken wings that are
being consumed
is wild.
I wonder... I I do and do not
want to know what
gets made of the excess chicken. I 100
percent do not on to now. Probably hot
dogs.
Mostly hot dogs. Bo baloney.
Chicken some sauce chicken mc nuggets.
We've all seen the video of the pink
the pink goo.
Oh, dude. I saw a video. Oh gosh.
This is just gonna be a gross episode.
I'm not I'm I'm not. I knew you
were. I'm a I... I'm gonna send it
to you I gotta find it, but there
was a video. It... I didn't even know
what was going on. They don't tell you
what it is. They it was just like,
well, never eat this again. I'm sorry, and
you're welcome.
And it was
this
process, they made this, like, dark, brownish
paste and then fill the tray with it
and then let it harden.
And then they broke it up.
I don't know if it, like froze or
what, but it, like, sat and they put
the tray into a big thing of trays.
Right? And after it got hard, they broke
it all up, and then it went through
a machine that ground it down into powder,
and then it got mixed with liquid
and
started going through this machine. And in the
end, it was coming out little squares of
ramen noodles.
So it was really gross all the different
stages it went through and all the different
things that went into it, but, like, just
instant ramen type stuff. I don't know what
brand it was, but
whatever the 1 that are the squares.
Because I am... It was gross. An idiot
ramen noodles and hot dogs will just always
be okay with me.
Because I can associate that better than anything
else that I eat.
Yeah. I I love Ramen, so I'm not...
That just seems like
it seems like to make something so simple,
like they really made it really difficult.
Maybe? I don't know. Yeah. I think so,
but it's...
I don't know. I think that way about
like juice
concentrate, all that kind of stuff, like, it
wouldn't be easier to just give us the
juice. I don't know. But
I think in the case of ramen,
like,
specifically instant Ramen, it's...
The noodles are doing a lot of the
heavy lifting with flavor. So they have to
add a bunch of stuff in. And it's
Like, if you have chicken flavored ramen, I
I... Like, the the noodle still have some
flavor even if you don't add anything. So
I don't know. I don't know what all
in there, but it's kinda gross.
But, yeah, it seems overly really complicated for
noodles aren't that hard to make.
We've even done it in word idiots. Yeah.
Have you heard about, like, the 3 d
printing meats though?
No. Is this a real thing? Yes.
I thought you're joking. No. They I... They
did this
there's a there's a rancher here in Utah
called Lazy Jay Meats. This is an incredible
fall. So he's got his he's got his
freaking brain on the pulse of everything that's
going on in the agriculture world and, like,
the the government
regulations, and he's always speaking out about it
and trying to get people to like, by
local support local farmers and
and all this. But
he was posting something about 3 d printed
meat. And then I I went down this
rabbit hole
and found
that that they had this test group that
they brought in, and they had, like, an
actual rib.
They cooked an actual rib in A3D
meat printed rib,
and a lot of them thought the 1
was real and picked it as their favorite.
The 3 d printed 1.
I don't understand. I'm just... It felt like
it felt
like a push.
Like, there was a
Thank you. A won't liberal push. Like they
had an agenda agenda. Yeah.
I said that was a joke. I don't
I don't love the... I hate the word
woke. I think it's stupid.
I was just...
Yeah. They there was an agenda behind the
video. It felt like.
I don't even like being awake. Because it
was I understand. It was some
organization like pe ta or something that don't.
PETA.
We're gonna take your food let repeat. I'll
sorry.
I don't get it.
Because, like, I understand the concept of a
printer.
Right?
I understand the concept of A3D printer. But
A3D printer has materials that it it doesn't
just... It's not god. It's not like a
single item.
It's using
pre
material. Yeah. I would be real curious as
to what the material is that it's feeding
into the printer.
Is it just meat?
Like
I don't understand because like What we did
is we took some ground rib by.
It doesn't make sense. Made another rib eye.
Like,
what is it just taking the stuff that
I've heard of machines. It's some kind of
plant based material that they've made to taste
like meat somehow.
I remember... I mean, I guess it's the
same concept of what I've seen on the...
Their their biological
not biological. They're machines that take whatever animals
would eat and they're creating. That's what Beyond
meat and
impossible or whatever is doing.
But I didn't... I don't know why
calling in A3D printer has really messed up
my mind though. I mean, I guess,
you could do... If if the machine can
do what a cow does with
plants then I... It's possible. Right? But
seems
sketchy to me.
Like,
it's kind of like the dinosaurs
in
jurassic park.
Like,
it's... That wasn't doesn't... That hasn't happened this...
That was fake bro.
Mh. I saw the documentary.
All of them.
But no. They they talked to... There is
stuff going on. Now. We talked about it
with I don't you weren't hear yet. But
we were talking about this before our meeting
last week Dale and me and Ryan and
brandon and
about,
recreating Oh, they're gonna bring back the mammoth,
I guess is what they were talking about.
Alan. Was talking about it. And they're doing
the same thing that they hypo sized in
the
fictional jurassic park
about sp
the Dna they can get and filling it
in with other stuff where they don't have
the Dna, you know?
But, like, there's a there's a part of
the cow itself that's a big part of
process. Like, it's
its
body turns that stuff, like takes it and
uses it in its body. It's not like,
it just... We're not eating the poop. Right?
Like, we're eating the meat. Does it do
do you understand what I'm saying at all
here? Like,
the cow itself and its biology,
it's,
like, body is part of what we're eating.
Like, we're not just
It's not passing that stuff through it and
then we're eating the byproducts.
We're eating
the meat it's absorbed.
Like, the stuff it's absorbed into its meat.
So
something's missing, like, they're filling it in with
something. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah. Kinda.
And what is that?
It's a illuminati juice.
Dude, can you imagine
the ab important creature they may accidentally create
and or probably have created with leg gene
sp.
M. I don't even wanna know. Yeah. No.
It's horrifying.
Leave them mammoth alone. We don't need mammoth.
What about anything on this planet? Makes us
think like, you know what? We need more
stuff.
Like did we were at It's a hundred
and 17 degrees We're at the natural history
museum in New York with the kids, and
they had a full,
like, mammoth
skeleton there.
That they found in, like, Chicago. They were
just, like, digging a foundation for a building,
and they're like, what's this? And they just
like uncovered, like, a freaking wool mammoth in,
like, the mid 18 hundreds, and I'm like,
can you imagine? Because I... You don't know
back then you never seen before. Yeah. They
finally learn about that stuff in school. Just
thought like, what is this? We found a
giant elephant skills. Yeah.
Yeah. That is wild. Elephant. So I'm... I
immediately put myself in this guy's mind in
the 18 fifties of like,
what?
Like, what is this?
Are there more of these just roaming around
or we don't know, like they're hiding in
the trees right now, watching?
Maybe they're extinct. What does that mean?
Oh,
have you guys ever seen those things about,
like, the skeletons of an animal
and then how science would
recreate them Yeah.
And they take, like, animals we know and
what science would do
reconstruct them and they look totally different,
like, an otter look like this crazy Evil
c serpent than stuff.
So when I saw that, I've it got
me thinking, like,
I bet we don't even know what dinosaurs
look like at all. You know? Like, at
1 point, they were lizards and now they're
birds
I just... We don't know what we're talking
about. I don't think we have any idea.
This is someone's best guess.
And then someone else come along and be
like, no. All those people before of that
are dead. Right? They're dead. They can argue
with me. They were wrong. It's got the
T rex had feathers. Yeah. It's not like
your you find a bone and then you
dig out the entire area around it and
it's perfectly put together.
You know, you find... Yeah. Pieces of this
bone in a certain area,
and then you have to figure out how
to put it together.
Yeah. It could fit completely differently.
Yeah. It could be backwards or upside down
or something. We have no idea.
Until we recreate them. So I'm for it.
Just so we can see.
It'd be great if they recreated all the
dinosaurs, like they actually did jurassic park and
they were just like,
cute
herb or, like,
furry.
Know, like, just big dogs. That'd be great.
Like dinosaurs of the new dogs. Yeah.
I think bears are gonna be the new
dogs.
It'd be crazy if you recreated 1 and
they could speak.
You have feathers. Yeah. I do.
Did not see that come? Like, why did
you do this?
Why?
When you, like, watch jurassic park with them.
And he's like, this is suspicious.
Alright.
Welcome to Foodie. Hey.
A podcast Podcast.
A podcast.
You were listening to Foodie, A podcast. A
podcast.
We're a podcast
skill fully written by Nobody.
Nobody.
Wrote anything today.
Today, we're just looking at memes and real
about food and
stuff and talking about them. Oh,
It's fine. That's what like have podcasts are.
That's what most of our podcasts is anyway.
You guys got anything specific you wanna talk
about? You got any cool food stories before
we jump into this?
Any experiences.
No. But I have seen some stuff, but
I can save it for the later section.
I've seen some stuff. You got some things,
man.
We... I cooked the tractor tonight that was
fan domestic.
Tri tip steak. Yeah.
I don't understand and I should better.
Given what I do for living, but I
don't really understand tri tip yet.
It's like, is it a stake?
It's a roast. That can be cooked as
a steak.
Wow.
Like a prime rib?
Is a roast. Right? And you cook it
as a steak. Do you have to slice
it up like that or you just cook
the whole thing. You can cook go a
whole you could go a whole and then
slice it.
It's not as thick
as a primary bruise.
But it's thicker than a regular steak. Yeah.
Do you have to cook it for longer?
I would assume? Yeah.
Was the process like on that? So tonight,
I did a charcoal grill.
Let some coals on 1 side.
So 2 zone cooking, if you will.
And seasoned it with
Hey, Grill Hey, beef f.
What is this the commercials?
And put it over on the
indirect side. Why I use Fiesta rob? I'm
just...
I don't know. I should have. Yeah. I
don't wanna use too much of it. So
gotta hold on to it. Yeah. You gotta
save the Fiesta route. Hashtag. Go on. We
just put in a huge order for Fiesta
in case I'm wondering.
So it's still alive.
Today in work talk, it was brought up
that we should make little bottles of it
like Ta, and I was like, that's brilliant.
Hey my god.
Yeah. Then you just cook it on the
indirect side. Just kinda flip it a couple
times, make sure. And then
just the reverse sear method, and then you've...
When it's up to hundred and 15 ish
degrees internal temperature using your little,
you know, thermal works.
Pro.
Are we getting paid for this? Throttle Was
gonna show up in, like, throw track soon
of like... He's like a nascar driver Yeah.
No.
As soon as we're a lot like we
video here. The Thermal works Thermo penn 1
really showed up today. Folks part team. We
we inserted it. Pulled it out slowly. It
gave us the perfect internal temperature.
What we looking for, we moved it over
to those hot coals and just flipped it
a few times. Got a nice char on
there.
Then we sliced it against the grain and
it was delicious
on a wooden cutting board that was made
by someone I don't know.
Oh, we have a cutting board we use.
It was a camp chef cutting board. Oh,
yeah. Yeah.
It wasn't that 1, but
a sponsored content.
No. It's like my favorite cutting board though
this guy made it is his idea. Because
the problem is with these juicy meats,
even with the little
with a little tri around the edge of
the board, those fill up and the juices
drip off the edge. So
he made 1 that angles back.
Laughing it true.
Sorry.
So he made a cutting board that
it's like...
Yeah. I don't know. It's made from a
thicker cut of wood, and then he he
slopes it back. So all the juices... Does
Have a cup to catch it? No. It
just goes to the back of the cutting
board. So it's it's higher in the front
and lower in the back. So you'd have
to have, like,
2 or 3 inches worth of... Do you
have a catchy name for it yet? Because
I feel like there's something in the Mu
area that could work for that.
But it's cool. It's a really cool cutting
board. Do you you do you know this
person? No. He's just made a few things
for us. Oh,
I saw a cutting board on shark once,
but the guy's debts. So I just wondering
if it was him. No. As kids are
doing an hour or something.
Well, no. 1 of the sharks is they
bought the whole company.
Now this guy. He never really said... He
just is always like, you need to oil
that cutting board and Like things. And then
I don't oil it because I don't care.
I have started taking cutting board
instructions more seriously because someone washed my wooden
1 in the dishwasher.
And it came out in pieces. Yeah.
So that was rough. And you don't do
that. Well, I didn't do it, but I
was very mad. We have 2 signs in
our kitchen, no wood and cutting boards, no
knives in the dishwasher, not a or cast
iron. I just wash.
Outside of 1 knife that I own, that
I spent a lot of money on the
Den recommended. We've talked about it on here
before.
I wash all my knives in the dishwasher
now because I'm like,
I used to get mad about it,
and, like, our son does the dishes. And
I was like, well, that set of nice
probably cost me 20 dollars, then I have
to buy another 1 in 5 years if
they get ruining the dishwasher. That's gotta be
cheaper than there. Okay. I'm talking like, the
hundred the hundred and 50 dollar chef's knives.
Oh. Yeah No. No No. Well, you guys
use a lot it. Like German, Japanese still
don't don't do it. But, like, your little,
like, cheap
knives doesn't. Yeah. Them in the dishwasher. I
don't say something
controversial right now. I feel like the more
expensive an knife is, the less
care you should have to give to it.
You know? Agree.
Like, when you spend a bunch of money
on a car, you're... It's because it's, like,
I mean, it can go faster ever. But
1 of the features for, like, a lot
of cars is that they're safe if something
happens, Like,
they're they're virtually, you know, like, you... Not
honestly virtually ind destructive whether they're they're, like,
somewhat
resistant to that sort of thing. Right? Like,
I feel like knife should be that way.
If I spend 200 dollars on a knife,
I should be able to shower with it
or whatever and
just like that cleans it. I it shouldn't
have to clean it. Everything should come right
off of it. It should be like a
non stick knife, you know? Like, oh, I
just cut this and it's clean already.
Is that weird?
No. I don't know... I just... It's like
what they're... Where are they making them a
porcelain or something? Why do I have to
be so delicate with these knives? They're killing
instruments.
You know?
I think they're cutting instruments.
Slicing and merchandising instrument for us, but somewhere
along the line they were. Yeah.
I don't know how they killing almost.
I know how they kill them in the
while. I've watched a lot of discovery channel.
It's ugly.
Such, everyone just has those...
The bulk guns like no country for old
men.
That should be, like...
Yeah. They that's it's true. Isn't it? I
don't like that.
I feel like that should be a thing
knife industry, get your crap together, make easy
to clean nice, Make dishwasher safe knives. You
know? As we have the technology. There's no
way we don't.
They're just wasting my side.
You know it'd be funny if we made
him scrub this thing by hand. I feel
like I don't agree with you, but I
don't know why.
That's not surprising. Yeah. I don't know.
So anyways, cleaning my dal strong 8 inch
chef knife.
Just kidding sorry
I can keep going. I tag this stuff
all day every day. I got more.
I could actually do almost any pro product.
We have a a sponsored links through. Yeah.
Also now. So, like, are O 0 whatever.
Really, that's cool. Yeah. And they make everything.
Yes, they do. But they're not like, a
real sponsor. We just have sponsored link, so
we can't talk about that.
I like the product though.
So
so... Any other stuff? Are you good? It
was a weird week. Like, we
we had 1 kid that was gone all
week at his grandma's house.
And
we didn't cook anything.
I think
we just pulled stuff out of the freezer
or went out to eat probably
every time we didn't
and nothing remarkable
that we went out.
We went to Red for last night. Susie
got the
What's it called? Chicken...
10 Tan. Oh, Chicken tend, Chicken tend.
Chicken 10.
Anyway, Chicken tan was really good. I had
red for for lunch on Wednesday.
Yeah. Pane Mass masala.
Mayo. I love Pane.
I got shrimp and mass masala.
Sc.
Man. I don't know why I saw these
things and did not send them to you
guys,
but I saw something
a weird meme that reminded me of
pane,
but it was like dog hot,
and it was a hot dog, but, like,
the the toppings were on the outside, and
there was, like, a bam, which was, like,
the bon in the middle and and cheese
and then patty
and just like,
like, Gb and pay, it was really... It
was a weird
looking thing, but just messy food
anyway.
Like, Ai
picture or people actually made it. I mean,
I don't know. It's probably Ai. I think
I saw it I didn't zoom in that
close.
I can't tell the difference to be honest
with you. I'm terrible at it,
but some people apparently it's really easy for,
but, you know, I'm an old
I'm an old as well. They
uncovered
somewhat they've been doing in like, a real
live person
Ai in like it will not real life
person. But like, it's an Ai
generated person
that's been an influencer and a masked hundreds
of thousands of followers.
Yeah. It's all... As a fake person. That's
so stupid.
But most influences fake people but it was
a very attractive
young woman, young lady, not young woman. Like,
she was 20 something. Okay? And, like, consistently
in, like, skim swimsuit suits and this and
that. And I'm, like, it's freaking cheating dude.
Don't look at me.
Am, what's her what's her handle?
Fake real. She's not real.
Because they're saying like, everyone in my in
my wife's industry, right now I was like,
you have to, like,
make yourself, like a real person. Like, you
have to put your name behind your brand
and you can't just, like,
But then they're like, oh, yeah.
Just created a fake person you all followed
them.
I have an opinion, and I would love
to be able to have time to do
research on this, but I I am
convinced
that Ai bots
are single handedly causing most of the conflict
on social media. I disagree. Yeah. I think
there are real missing misinformed
I know. But, like, some of these p...
Some of these comments, I'm like, what? Like,
that's not a, like, how can you just
think like that? And you get mad at
this person, and then you you expanded it
to a group of people like, other people
think like this, but it's just some Ai
bot that would type that, like... I have
a video that I can send you. Alright.
I'm interested.
Did you guys see that thing about the
Japanese robot with a face that can smile?
Like,
It has, like, human skin. It's creepy. It's
it doesn't look like human skin yet. It's
like a circle. It has 2, like, weird
like called stick it easily just like, no.
They're, like, green. They look like olives or
something almost. And then it just has, like,
an indentation of a mouth, not a full
it's just not a full opening,
but it's
slight... It looks slimy.
And wet, but it can smile on its
own.
And I just don't think we need that.
I don't know why we're trying to do
this. I don't... Yeah. I don't Yeah. A
hundred percent degree. Do we need more people?
I think we're good on people?
Yep. I would love less people.
I meat... I'm not I'm not on the
whole...
I'm not at the point where I'm, like,
I gotta get rid of some of these
people, but when
But when I I watch Bill Burr who
always does a whole thing about getting rid
of people at the beginning of each stand
up, I always laugh.
I'm I'm not, like, that's horrible.
Yeah. That's a funny way to. Yeah. I
always just think about how nice my drive
to work would be,
you know. It's so nice. Less car I
think I won't take a cruise.
Forget the thousands and thousands of people mourning
loss.
Wealth? But, hey, enjoy your. They have a
commute with a few less cars on the
road. Listen.
They're sad people anyway.
There's already people mourning every day,
but I... It doesn't need to ruin my
morning, You know?
Yeah. Don't let your morning ruin my morning.
Oh,
is a wild thing to say. Alright.
I think we're... I know I just like
I think we're
I think we're... We we talked about this
with, like, how we like, should all learn
how to do, like, homestead setting and farm
setting and go do that.
But then, like, there's no there's no way
that that can sustain as many... Like, the
only reason there's this many people on the
world right now is because of the way
that the food
distribution networks are set up. So, like, we're
1
we're 1 bad
instance away.
Like
from, like, off, like food routes and trucking
routes and railroad routes
being, like, shut down. Like, if the Internet
disappeared for a year, like, we might lose
a lot of people.
I have a thought on that real quick.
It's a hundred percent possible. It's just not
profitable for corporations, so we're not gonna do
it. Like, they got their hooks in us,
and... They dumb us all down nobody knows
how to sew button on or anything? Like...
So they're good. Right. So who's who's making
the Oreos? But why? Why? Are you gonna
make the oreos? Why couldn't we why couldn't
we do that? Like,
we could? We totally could. If if they
just... If we... That's what you learned in
school was, like, how to survive
instead of, like, well we need accountants for
all the all all of our money. So
some of you idiots are gonna have to
learn math. Like, math not important to survival
because we started without it. You know what
I'm saying? I really... If... Listen. If there
was a state that said,
we are
shutting down the borders ins and outs, and
we are gonna survive on what we can
manufacture in our state
and what what we can grow and do
here
I would move to that state and become
a part of that. Like, we should be
what can we make
and produce locally
is what we should be
eating and surviving on. And if you live
in the freaking frozen tundra and the desert
like we live, like, maybe we shouldn't live
here. Okay? Yeah.
Like, it's telling... It's a hundred and 20
degrees outside. Like nature is, like, why do
you live here? There's no water and it's
hot. We are in a really weird area
too because we're not far from, like, cold.
Yeah. Real cold.
It's it's odd.
This whole... I I don't know. I think
this whole area is just just weird. Anyway,
I think that'd be a really cool. And
And but the problem new Zealand. But the
problem is is there's always gonna be
dishonest
and
people not pulling their way and
entitlements
and things like that. You just can't get
around it. But the perfect... The the perfect
situation,
would be if as everyone pulled their own
weight. Everyone did their thing. It was a
big coop op thing, Like, there's no money.
There's no money. Your only exchange is the
goods and service that you can provide.
And what you can grow, and then there's,
like, community standards on and on on education
on learning how to grow things and how
to raise cattle or raise animals, and, like,
it's just a big
education
farming
It sound like a hippie man. I know.
But it wouldn't that be cool. Yeah. Sounds
like half the drives out here that I
listen to.
Oh, I am a hit. I don't know
what to tell you.
I was sitting thinking you get the whole
time like, oh, there's 2 of them.
I don't think it's ever possible, but I
think it'd be dang cool. I think it's
possible, but it's really
unlikely because there's just too many people that
stand to lose too much if we stop,
like, funneling
our income into their
pool or whatever. You know what I'm saying?
Anyway,
I have a couple food things real quick.
So
I had 1 morning. This... This was a
rough week, and I'm not gonna get into
it, but it was a very rough week.
I had 1 morning this week, with my
son, and we... It was just us.
Old son or new. My older son, clay.
And we had seen this video on these...
I don't even know what they're called, like,
bacon pancake sticks.
So we made those. I made pancake batter
and I put it in a, like a
ketchup squeeze bottle type thing. Right? Like, not
an actual ketchup up bottle, but
just like clear squeeze bottle. Like, a cheap
squeeze bottle. This is important later in the
story.
So
I just like squirt it out, like, don't
skip. About a bacon,
like, a bacon size
slab of pancake batter. And I'd already cooked
the bacon, and then I just put the
bacon in it and covered it up and
you just cook a cook it, flip it
over, cook it.
First of all,
that bacon makes the pancakes beautiful on both
sides. Okay? Oh, that's a trick. They came
out perfect on both sides. They were bacon
shape. What battery did you? Homemade? No.
Crust.
Crust. Yeah.
So
It's easy. I don't know. I may I
make my own man. I make my own
waffles, but
I
better. It's in the name.
Those crust.
But, yeah. So I made those, and they
were really good. But when I was making
what turned out to be the last 1.
It wasn't supposed to be there were supposed
to be 7 more. But the lid did
pop off in the pan. And so I
was like, well,
shoot. I took the... Got the lid out
of there, Got the rest in and whatever
removed it around,
and then I took my remaining bacon, and
I just made a bop full of bacon,
a bacon bat.
It's a big ass pancake.
I've talked about that on here.
So, yeah. But they were good, Dude. I
was just eating them while waiting for the
other ones to finish.
So that was good. Other food story
is my younger son, baby boy who's almost
6 months old now.
I was alone this week. And so I
had to feed him formula.
And
a jug of... Or a can of formula,
like,
roughly, this is a little bit smaller than,
like a can of. Right?
Cost, like, 58 dollars. Mh.
And that child, you put 2 tablespoons in
a bottle, mix it up for a meal.
Right?
He ate
30 dollars worth of the formula in 3
days.
Like, I can't believe how fast that thing
went. He's beast.
He's a big big fat fatty.
Was just like calm him fat boy.
He'll never know. Unless he listen to this
podcast in the future, but man that kid
can eat. It's crazy.
And it's just, like, as soon as he's
done eating, he's hungry, and I have to
go make... By the time I get... I
only have enough time to make another bottle
before it's hungry again.
There's probably other things I could do to
get him to stop crying, but, like, I
just kept feeding him.
Worked. No. But he ate he ate so
much formula.
It it was... I had no.
Like, what my thought was it was like,
there's no way
that my wife can be keeping. With the
demand that this shit has. There's no way.
You know what I'm saying? Like went from
from a from a milk standpoint. III
have a whole... Not the taking care of
the kids thing. That part's relatively
like, easy, but, like,
just making that much milk.
Was like... They're the fact that my hats
off to you. The fact that he'll eat
formulas amazing. We didn't have a choice his
mom wasn't there. Yeah. We tried on all
our kids and, like, literally, like, they
I remember Autumn. She, like, and she basically
took it out of her mouth, looked at
us, flipped us off and dropped it on
the ground. He's, like, I will not be
drinking this. Yeah. That's how Reggie he was,
but he's cool with it. Hill eat anything.
Like, we've been feeding him
like, strain green beans and he likes those.
Probably not anymore because he was given some
sweet food this week. So that's over. But,
yeah, He he like, we'll hold the bottom
himself and everything. It's crazy. Cool. He's already
smarter than me. So that's fun.
I thought I'd be smarter than in my
house for a little while. Okay. Let's rewind
last longer 6 months.
So you put out a
cylindrical
rectangular shape Yeah. A pancake bag. Yeah. I
squirt, like, a bacon shape pancake. And then
you put a stick in there... Put a
stick of bacon on it. And then I
kinda, like, push the bacon in a little
bit with my Spatula just so... But then
you gotta cover it up. Like, so there's
enough battery on the. I... You put, like,
a stick in there something. So it was
like, on stick... No. No. I just made
like a a bacon shaped pancake
slapped a stick of bacon on there, and
then a slice of bacon whatever you wanna
call it.
I kinda worked it into the batter a
little bit flipped it like normal. And then
I covered it up with some more batter.
I let it cook for a little while,
and I flipped it over and just cooked
it for what I was doing was I'd
as as I'd flip 1, I'd make another
1. And then when... I... Because I can
tell when they're ready to flip
the first time. But once they're upside down,
it's anybody's guess, you know? But I would...
I kinda had a good system where when
that 1 looked ready to flip I checked
as ready to go, and I take that
1 off and then flip this 1 make
another 1? So I was going back and
forth? Do you have a pan on the
stove or using like a the grid top
or something. I made the bacon on the
grid, but I kinda I hadn't done this
before and I didn't wanna get... I... So
I just used that, like, the deep
pan that we talked about. It's like a
4 quart pan and just made him in
there. That's what I make on my big
ass pancakes in anyway. So I was just
doing it in there. But, yeah.
And then I... But it broke the bottle
broke. So there was 1 huge pancake with
7 pieces of bacon in it
that we couldn't eat.
So
I don't know. Cool.

So I did... This isn't really like cooking
related, but is tangent
food related. I accomplished the her her task
of cleaning out our pantry this last week?
The amount of stuff that we had that
was, like,
Best buy was long gone, and it was
just still sitting in there was ridiculous. We
just buy too much stuff.
Hundred percent. Like,
Like, I threw away these Japanese curry bricks
that I was like, I would love to
make that. I never made that.
You know, there's a million things. We had
so many different open bags of chips and
to shock them.
So now, I mean, I cut the crap
out of my finger on an aluminum can
that I was opening up like, dump and
rinse and recycle. So that was fun, but
yeah. Now it's beautiful and organized, but
friendly reminder to maybe check your.
Yeah. And don't buy stuff. Yeah. Well, yeah.
We've talked about that before too. It's just
like,
buying what you need.
But, yeah, we we overs stock all
the time.
Our freezers are usually full. That would be
something I could do next. Right. Who knows
about the condiments and then sauces and crap
in our fridge.
I told Susie, we need to do...
We need to take, like, the month of
August
or whenever,
because, you know, who knows what day is.
We need to take a whole month,
and
every year has in August.
Right.
Not next 1, Though. Oh, okay.
We need to go through and and
eat what's in our freezer.
Like, we have so much meat in our
freezer and we just go to the store
and buy more meat. Yeah.
Like, we need to, like, we need to
be cut off. We suffer that same a
reflection in Guess.
I'm like, yeah. We have 6 month old
frozen pork chops, but what about that rib
eye? It looks real good.
Do you guys ever, like,
try to buckle down on that and use
the stuff you have and then they're, like,
why didn't I just make this? This is
a good... We had
everything for Tacos 1 night. We I we
just didn't have time to go grocery shopping,
and we we're like, we we have anything
and I was, like, there's a pound of
hamburger in the freezer, like, we can t
out and we had the other stuff. So
it was like,
well, let's make some tacos,
and it was awesome. Like, We fall into
the trap of, like, but I... We don't
have any fresh cilantro. So we're not gonna...
Like, because we don't have the 1 thing.
We're not gonna make it. I
When we could just freaking making it it'd
be just fine with without cilantro. I struggle
to identify. I didn't have the lunch tell
was 30.
I struggle to identify what items I may
be missing, but I still will find 1
single thing that I'm like, no can't do
it. Yeah.
So... Yeah. Well, without that cumin, I guess
it's burger key.
This ties into the meme I showed you
guys. That's funny. Yeah.
Taco Bell versus making what I have at
home? Yeah. The meme was a picture of
from, like, it looked like a bible story.
Maybe Pot his wife or something with like
this
There's like a, you know, a really pretty
pretty girl
and he's like, birds pretty.
And it and it's like, and he's like,
me
trying to decide if or trying to talk
myself into making the thing
at home that I wanted to make and
then, like, a pretty girl is Taco bell.
Yeah.
He's lust after Taco bell.
I get that. I do like Taco bell.
I would go to Taco bell over making
my own taco. Honestly.
They just... They're done, You know? Yeah.
I don't love the portions.
But that's everywhere. Do you guys think... I
think it's a psychological thing from when I
was a kid because we didn't we didn't
go out to eat a lot when I
was a kid, and when I did. It
was, like,
it was like a felt like a reward.
Like, oh, my gosh. Like, we're going out.
Guys. We're going out. It didn't matter where
we went. It was just like, it was
like a treat. You know?
I get that, but we did go out
a lot. I still view it that way,
but we went out a lot. Yeah. Like,
we ate fast suit a lot of when
I was a kid.
But, yeah, I... It didn't matter that it
happened 3 times a week. I was still
like, oh, we get to go here. Yes.
Yeah. When I was little, we do, like,
coming home from sports practice or whatever we
drive through
Taco bell very frequently. So I've always been
a Taco bell guy.
Or Kfc and get chicken Little, but the
chicken the, like,
show stopping event was when I got, like,
a Mcdonald's
kids meal with the toy or something. That
those those seem like an event. Or when
we're a little bit older and you get
like,
those batman forever glasses or
like, some of the cooler stuff that they
did with Movie Tie promos. Or, like the
dream team cups. Yeah. Those were like landmark
events.
That's how they... They gotta to start that
up again. Yeah. Collector's items, people
they're...
I mean, they're like, we don't care. We're
making so much money. We're not putting anything
in.
I would love it if they made them
of glass.
I don't think we need more plastics.
No.
But
the batman for everyone's were glass. Yeah. And
they were amazing.
That was like the... That was like the
good China.
Dude.
I'm not playing. Like, if I ever win
the lottery or something, and I just have
so much extra money. You better believe him
having that full set. I don't care what
it's gonna cost me.
And it's probably like 50 bucks on ebay
right now.
But I'm still just like, gotta wait. It's
gonna go in my trophy room. Gotta wait
till you can afford to pay someone to
buy stuff for you because you're not gonna
do it. Yeah.
But my point is, like, even Susie and
I love to cook together. Like, we love
cooking, and I love the finished
result that I think it tastes better when
we do it at home. But there's still
like, there's still something about the event of,
you know, it's like fun. Like, gas the
kids, Do you wanna do you wanna make
hamburgers here? Or should we go out and
get hamburgers? On hundred a percent of the
Was like, let's go out and get hamburger?
But it's not though. Like, why... You're right.
What is that? I don't know. Because it's
not. If you go to the drive through,
you're in line forever miserable. You're like, it
costs how much now? When was the last
time we came out? Was it this much
last week? Like, what is going on? That
is going crazy right now. Portions are crazy
tiny, like,
It's insane, And and it's in... It doesn't
taste that great. It's usually pretty bland. And
then I have, like, stomach problems after. Yeah.
Frequently disappointing. Last night, we are Armies and
we stopped and got max 2 Buffalo chicken
sliders
and a curly fry, and it was, like,
12 dollars, and I was like, 12 dollars.
You... Did you mean 3 dollars, ma'am? Like,
I'm sorry. Did you say 12 dollars.
Ar has been out of control for a
while, but everyone else is starting to up.
Do you think it's because most of the
kids can't drive, so it's like
getting out into the world?
Do you think that that's part of it?
What do you mean? Like the highway. I
mean, they would want to go out because
they have no choice, but to always be
stuck at home or on the bike in
their neighborhood or something like that.
Maybe
like an adventure for them.
Whereas for us, it's like,
we have to get in car and driving
into town and this time of day. There's
gonna be so much traffic and
I don't they don't have those things in.
Max will say no. He's like, yeah. You
guys can go. Well you grab me something
while you're out. I'm gonna stay here and
play this game. Like,
yeah. Is a hundred percent. Like, no. You
only get something if you come with My
dude. Yeah. See, that's that will have... Dad
and grandpa will go out frequently and they're
like, you wanna come with. And I'm like,
no.
I've already been in the world today. Thank
you.
And and then sometimes my dad be like,
you want us to just bring you something.
I'm like,
Yes, please.
Yes. I want to eat, but I don't
want to publish. Yeah.
Yeah. Clay the same way. I've like, you
can bring me something. I'm really like, No.
We won't.
Then we do because we're coward. Yeah.
Again, it's cheaper than therapy down the road.
So, you know, both true.
Yeah. It's all bad when you go out,
and it's awesome when you don't, but I
still want to. I wanna get something on
the way home from recording
tonight. Yeah. Or whatever. Sounds great. Let's go.
No. I'm only even hungry.
I'm not either. It's a problem.
I have the... I have a really bad
thing. I think we've talked about this on
here, but, like, gas stations are my biggest,
like, achilles hill. It doesn't matter if I'm
driving
across town. Like, I gotta stop him yesterday
next. Dude.
I'm like, Susie like, you want me to
drive like. I got it. I got it.
Yeah, I'm stopping to get a drink and
a than a candy dude for sure. We
we will be, like, we're late for everything
because of my wife, but, like, we'll be
running really late and I'm like, we still
have to stop
you need to hurry because you're cutting into
my snack time. Like, that's happening. I'm like
1 way or the other. I might sneaky
about it because I don't I don't even
want don't want her to think about it
to worry about it. We'll be... We'll, you
know, we'll be in the afterlife somewhere and
be like, why did Todd dies...
Why did Todd Die 10 years earlier than
you? And then this playback would just show
me getting it going into Maverick a thousand
times.
That's why.
Yeah. Go fill up my water every day
so that I can get some of the
gas station. It's a problem.
Like, well, I guess,
Sheep clothing. I better I... It'd be rude
of me. They don't charge me for the
water. I gotta do some that support this
business. I was like, I was telling you
guys earlier. I'm better at not going in
the summer because I'm like, everything I want
is gonna melt. Like, I'll wait till the
winter to go to the girl till the
gas station. It's gas station season. But I...
Again for me, I think it's a reward.
It's it's a dopamine hit for me because
it was when my dad would be like,
hey, he'd like take me specifically to go
get a treat. Like, let's go get a
treat. And he take me to up to...
You know, there was a stars gas station
up the street behind the...
Like, worst the Steve H shop was that
There was a Stars gas station there and
and I freaking loved it... Or we'd go
to the Chevron and he'd like, go out
into the tire shop and talk to Neil
for an hour and I just sit there
an knee any candy. You know what's it's
wild is I think that
what you were saying earlier about, like, what
is it about the fast food thing? I
do I do remember feeling that way with
convenience store. Yeah. Like a Dopamine. Yeah. Gas
stations were like,
dope.
Because it's like, you've you've... Wonder what they
got at this 1. You've your parents as,
like, these authority mean figures like most of
the time. Then all of a sudden, they're
like, hey, you want some candy? Like,
yeah.
Yeah wants to give me that candy?
U. You're gonna fight me candy?
You do you love me?
I know you have never said it, but
I'm feeling it. I'm feeling. And that's why
we still eat that crap
because it's it's... So for the for the
boomer parents listening, tell your kids you love
them. So we'll stop me to guess station
can. Anytime time anytime Dad, I'm still waiting.
It's spent 41 years. I'd love to hear
it come out of your mouth. There is
no way he's listening asleep.
I already checked I checked him my mom.
Like, you're not listening. Right? No. Okay. Thank
you.
But tell your friends. That's what I would
say to you.
Our
we went to a thing
an event for my wife and she was
telling everybody about it, and Was like, shut
up.
I don't need people.
Sometimes my wife puts it on her Instagram
stories and I'm like, what do you doing?
If they hear that, they'll know where married,
and no,
it could ruin everything. But that's how we
got some of our most faithful listeners.
This is... That's how we got all of
our listeners
outside of, like, our media family members. Oh,
yeah. Yeah. Gavin Gavin falls under that umbrella
sure.
Oh, what, Go ahead. I just have 1
more thing.
Y'all all notice devil eggs popping up a
lot lately.
Just me.
Funny
like like family?
Like, yeah. Like, say, I saw a recipe
the other day for devil egg salad.
So eggs salad. Egg salad, but with devil
eggs,
very intrigued by this.
And then someone had put that egg salad
on top of a hotdog dog, which I
thought was too much. That's crazy.
The sodium content and cholesterol on that
I saw the devil day hot dog. What
about devil egg salad devil eggs.
Like you put the devil egg salad in...
At some point, don't know what it's called,
but at some point you just become the
serpent eating the tail. You know?
Because you could keep going.
But I love devil eggs, so I would
I was very intrigued by this idea of
devil egg salad, but... It feels like potato
salad, but without the potatoes.
I guess. Some get eggs and my potato
salad.
I don't like when there's eggs in my
potato salad. I like egg salad, but I
don't like when there's eggs in my too.
Any kind of cold salad
alright is better with eggs in my opinion.
I'm about that. I agree with you to
an extent, like, if I go to a
salad bar and I'm having, like, a green
leafy green salad, I'll put some...
They have, like, the eggs Oh, yeah. I
don't know what they're called, but, like, the
salad. If a salad bar doesn't have chopped
boiled eggs,
shame on you.
Shame, on your family? You don't have a
salad bar. Yeah. You have
I don't even know. 2 we went to
a pizza factory the other day by your
theater.
That's where reminded me the salad bar with
the eggs.
And
you know the sound that a soda machine
makes when it's out of syrup.
Like straight up, the entire 30, 40 minutes
we were there? It just kept going. Yeah.
And I'm like, at, what point, do I
go back there and James back
Like, these kids had no idea what was
going on. Yeah. I wanted to be like,
do you guys do you guys know what
that sound is? Like, I would love to
teach you Obviously, no 1 has trained you
on how to fix this problem and I'm
about to because it's gonna drive me crazy.
Yeah. You know it takes 30 seconds to
swap 1 of those bags out. Right? Come
on.
I'm might... I told Susan like, Can go
back and blow it... I'm gonna blow these
kid's minds. It's like, they won't know what's
going on.
Just pretend you're with the coke guy, they
would have no idea.
Helps for real. Just if any adult walk
back into a food place where, like, teenagers
are working, they'd listen to you. Like, oh,
shoot corporate dude.
You need to go to the gas stations
get them sorted out, man.
Like, the people that make the cut the
stickers that say, we're working on it or
whatever for Maverick, they gotta be making a
fortune.
Because they're going through those things
so fast. The... And the person that whose
job it is to put those stickers on,
they should train them to fix the stuff.
Because it's... There's there's clearly enough people there
to be putting stickers on everything. So just
fix the stuff.
It's the main things. Like the ice. The
ice doesn't work.
Ever. There's 2 mavericks that are arguably
distant from my house. That's not true. My
wife says there and always goes to the
wrong 1. That's not as fast.
Because they're not the same distance, but I...
Sometimes They'll go to 1. I'm assuming. I'm
assuming that she goes right? Yes. Yeah. Brings
crazy
That's not the faster 1. No. Just it's
just less turns.
That's Not faster. It's like I can see
the maverick from my house
that I go to you.
So it's not faster, But anyway,
yeah. She... I I think for her, it's,
like, that one's new, you know, which is
not threatening at all to me who's the
old husband. This point. But anyway,
they're always both out of ice. I went
to a third maverick the other day. They
were write of ice too, and I was
like, I'm done. I'm done.
I still got the other stuff I went
for because I couldn't fill out my drink,
but I was just like,
I don't think I'm crazy. I'm... I know
that sound like a real care in here,
but, like,
That's 1 of the main things you do
is is you have... You... People get drinks,
You know? Have the ice work? Is... Am
I asking for too much?
Like, if you went to Mcdonald's and the
fry the fryer was never working, Like, oh,
we just can't have fries today. Like, you
know the ice cream is not gonna work.
Right? That's a given. But what is that?
Glenn? Is is that an inside, Joe? No.
It's a...
I'll try and shorten it with as much
as I remember as possible, but they're very
specific specialized ice cream machines made by this
company specifically for Mcdonald's, and there's only like
usually a handful of people maybe that know
how to do the cleaning properly,
and there's usually, like, 1 technician for, like,
a huge region of the states.
So if anything actually does go wrong with
it when they're doing the very specific cleaning
process,
and it it it doesn't go back together
correctly. They have to put in an order
and there's, like, very few technicians out there
that know how to help.
So it's typically... It's more often and down
for cleaning because it's like a 4 hour
process, I think.
So more often than not, it's actually not
broken, it's just down for cleaning. But
when it does break, it's hard to get
them if they say it's down for cleaning,
you'll be like, well, when's it gonna be
clean. I'll come back and they're just like
it's broken. I get that. Yeah. That part
I understand. Like a fixable problem. Yeah. I
watched the video on it the other day.
It's... So either
either they don't think they need that many
people.
Or they're just not paying enough for that
to be a job people will work and
stay at because it seems like fixable a
problem for sure. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm
not really sure why they keep it so
specifically
specialized, but they do. Like, I could do
it. I... I'm the manager, Like, I am
in charge of money and all these people.
Like, look, people and money are 1 thing,
but You're not ready for the ice cream
machine. I wonder if it's like a, like
a coke thing. Like, they have us...
We don't... We all don't know it, but
the ice cream tastes is specific away. And
if they change anything up, then it would
you know that it's customer It's a, like,
the model of ice cream machine from this
company is
specific for Mcdonald's.
That's such a weird thing,
especially since like the guy that ruined Mcdonald's
found out about a Mcdonald's because he was
selling them an ice cream machine. Yeah. Well,
I'm pretty sure it was Ray Cro that
made the deal with this company.
To do this this way.
Oh, what a bunch of crow.
For real.
The Mcdonald's would be...
I don't know. I don't know what what's
gonna say. I have too much random fast
food knowledge.
I I wouldn't say it's too much.
I feel like maybe it's a little too
much. Maybe I'm a little too interested. I
mean
I have things like that that I know
really
deep obscure
information about, but
not fast food.
I'm pretty...
I kinda just taken it face value. Yeah.
I don't want to know too much because
I still I still enjoy it. Yeah. Quite
a bit. So
Well, yeah, That was my last thing. Alright.
Do you anything else You wanna talk about
today, Todd?
Have you gone back to your pancake thing?
Oh my gosh.
I'm glad Brought it up these.
Have you seen these like,
pancake
artists.
Like, they'd use different colors and stuff. Yeah.
And make, like,
blue characters and... Yeah. The reason I have
the bottles that I have was to try
and do that, but I can't do that.
So I can get it on of that
that. It's so difficult. I don't understand. I
watch... It's just They cook so fast. How
do you have time to drive have the
temperature? This is This lady not, like, an
artist. Like, she's just, like a mom influencer.
She pops up in my feet every now
and then.
She always does, like, she does videos of
her husband, that gets her husband, but it's
her with a, like, the like, the Ai
mustache on.
Kinda looks like your mustache a little bit.
This is real. I know. It's freaking me
out though.
But anyway,
she just goes out to her grid in
her backyard and just whips up these, like,
perfect blue character pancakes. And I'm like, how
in the crap did you do that. So
she kind of is an artist. Well, yeah.
But that's not like,
that's not her main thing. That's not what
she's known for.
I wonder if she did him on, like,
he drew it on parchment paper.
And then, like,
You know, like, flip it up so because
I could do that. Like, draw Like trace
with... No, she just straight off of the
grid I see it. You're a battered tracer.
They cooked too
You trace this thing. Yeah.
Can't even free and your own pancakes.
I tried just basic designs, and I get...
Like, I tried, like, a peace sign once,
and I couldn't even do it. I'm, like,
just do the peace sign. And then let
that cook and then fill it in, and
then I flipped it over and I'm, like,
nope.
It
I don't understand
the... Like, I would...
Just based on what happens to them after,
either they're gonna get destroyed by a teenager
immediately
or they're gonna go to waste from a
toddler. Like, those are the 2 options. So
what's... It's not like they're gonna it's just
gonna
They're not gonna, like, see their plate and
take a step back and appreciate what you've
done. No. And then it's gone.
Yeah. I don't know. That's a lot of
work for
you ever think about making, like, after you
set the bacon on there just like a
little
drizzle of maple syrup in there. I thought
about it because I as I was eating
them, I was like, if I could just
have a handheld, like,
with the syrup already, because it's too messy
at that point, but
I thought about it. And maybe next time.
Randall just make, like, put the put it
on the bacon before, like, while I'm making
the bacon, you know? So we had a
we had a camp chef grid sponsored post.
We had to do 1 time. And Susie
made these things called. She call them Hay
grid.
And she just made, you know,
like pancake size. It was like a rip
off of the Gretel, basically. Mh.
So she made pan, like, 1 sized pancakes,
maybe a little bigger. And then before she
flipped them, she put a maple swirl in
there.
And then flip them and it kinda like,
caramelized the sugar and the maple syrup a
little bit, and then did, like, a layer
of scrambled eggs and cheese and sausage.
I guess That answer any question. Darn near
1 of the best things that I've ever
so good. I was not hungry until you
just told that story.
Because that's what the the Mcdonald's 1 has
maple syrup in. It's like injected it. Yeah.
Like, it's gotta be gran or something they
put in there.
Well, I'm assuming it's probably, like, little beads,
beads. May work well but. We're overthinking this.
Yeah.
No. Like a baby bubble. Baby boy. I'm
gonna try that next time. And we'll put
some syrup in there. That's good. I like
that.
You put syrup on it. Or you just...
I ate with Syrup. Yet. But I was
thinking it it'll be a lot easier if
I if there was just syrup,
like what you guys did. I was like,
if I could incorporate the syrup into the
batter, like of Grid.
That would be ideal because then I could
just... Leave be my walking in pancake cake
bacon.
Do you know want silly?
So much silliness.
Is making pancakes for my kids. I would
just make 1 big pancake and flip a,
and then I don't know. And then there's
just, like, not excited about it. But then
my wife would take the same batter
and make, like silver dollar? Yeah. Mini pancakes.
That they could, like, pick up and dip
in syrup, and they just ate them all
and thought it was the funniest thing ever.
I'm like, factor. Like, it's the same food.
It's all about form factor. See, I have
the opposite thing with some... Well, not all
the kids. Some of them, like, regular size.
What is this a pancake for ants, But
my my
But my teenage son clay, he's a big
fan of the bat. Like, if I he'll
he'll, like, have 2 or 3 of them
I'm like, dude, that's like 11 regular pancakes.
He's like,
No. That's just a 3 pancakes dude.
Like, I'll, if I get 1 of those,
I can't even eat the whole thing now.
They they're sick too. You know? Like, because
it takes a while to spread it at,
like, it's... It's a lot of work. But
no. I'm not a pancake artist an answer
it to your question.
I am a
I'm a pancake Ko drift at best.
I'm I'm still intrigued to hit that perfect...
Like, the perfect dual side of pancake. I'm
I'm wondering you do. I'm telling you the
bacon helped a lot. I don't know what
the trick was with that, but... And I
didn't... I mean, I... It was I cooked
it. I would put it. I got all
the grease off and they were, like, pretty
well cooked because I didn't want floppy bacon,
you know.
So... But it it really helps the the
cooking process. I'm gonna try this weekend. I'm
gonna... Maybe tomorrow morning, I'll do pancakes. I'm
gonna try something because I'm with... I'm I'm
convinced, you know, Do you like spray oil
first?
Yeah. I think that might affect that that
side. Because you flip it, you don't spray
more oil. Yeah. It's still lightly oil then
it's still non stick, but then it gets
that
but I only spray every few pancakes. Oh,
yeah. And it's, like the next 1, the
first side's is fine. It must be because
the top cooks a little bit too. Yeah.
Not to go
in on this
again, but I think that I have a
theory about your pan your bacon pancakes working
better. And it's because...
It's like you said, you put the batter
down, and then you put the bacon down.
But then you put new batter on top
that hadn't been cooking already, so it has
to it has to cook the same amount
of time as the first 1. To catch
up.
It's possible. But I mean, I put it
right on.
It's quick. Like, I have I have the
bacon and the batter.
Ready to go. Okay Saying. Okay. Think I
put the first 1 down a quick draw.
Slab of the bacon and push it down
and squirt some more on there.
Yeah. I don't know. But maybe the bacon
is, like, protecting it from getting cooked, you
know? Yeah. I don't know. Did you how'd
you make it perfect rectangle? Did you like??
They weren't perfect.
But did you if anybody said perfect?
But I'm wondering if, like, if you draw
the rectangle, and then that cooks a little
bit and then you fill it in. Yeah.
I drew the rectangle and then I filled
it in. And mean, I slap at the
bacon then I covered it up with another
regular. That's why it wasn't perfect.
Lightly placed the blanket, bacon. Don't slap the
bacon. You gotta slap it.
What's the point? Otherwise, it's gotta be fun.
Okay.
Bam, you know?
Alright. You guys wanna talk about anything else?
So many.
I do have 1 more thing I wanna
talk about.
Okay?
