The Doughboys revisit the West Coast’s chain-juicery boom with a review of Movita Juice Bar, joined by comedian and actor Julian Stern.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Opening Banter & Listener Roast

• The hosts riff on listener “roasts” and Reddit drama about whether Mitch is too mean to producer Amelia. General podcast lore and inside jokes abound.
• [05:03 Mitch]: “I agree. The roast is just dumb… I shouldn’t have talked shit about Knives Out. Everyone loves Knives Out.”

2. Star Wars, Grogu, and ‘Glep Shitto’

• Extended Star Wars riff, especially around Grogu (Baby Yoda) and invented meme-character Glep Shitto.
• The hosts joke about cynical Disney money-grabs, compare Ewoks and Grogu, and spiral into absurdist riffing about possible new Star Wars characters and their bodily habits.
• [08:09 Amelia]: “Yeah, we like some young.”
• [09:57 Tiger]: “That’s another thing I do. I eat turds direct from the source.”
• Memorable improv: “If they said, ‘Star Wars Presents Glep Shitto,’ I’d be in the theater in one second.”
  — Mitch, [08:48]

3. Podcast Dynamics and ‘Behind the Scenes’

• The group discusses their relationships, roles, bully dynamics, and the artifice of a “comedy podcast.”
• [11:06 Amelia]: “Mitch is too mean to Amelia? …There’s a lot of bullying off camera I do to Mitch.”
• Recurring trope: “We all love each other here,” despite or because of the jabs.
• Meta-jokes about their hectic work environment.
• [12:11 Tiger]: “We’re having a great time here at the Headgum offices, which is bustling like a newspaper in the 1930s.”

4. College Memories, Local Food Spots, and LA Eats

• The hosts and Julian compare college food experiences (USC, UCLA, Ithaca College), recalling late-night cafeteria habits and campus culture.
• [25:09 Julian]: “Freshman year was the best… You could get cereal at night. That was amazing to me.”
• Los Angeles favorites discussed:
  • Crawford’s (Fried Chicken, Mac and Cheese): Secretly a favorite, considered top-tier fried chicken in LA.
  • Lowboy (Burger in Echo Park): Another Stern favorite.
  • Amboy (by Eggslut chef, Chinatown/Echo Park): “Eye opening” burger.

5. Gaming Culture Bonding

• Wiger and Julian geek out over PC gaming specs and preferences.
• [43:04 Julian]: “I got a 5070 Ti…32 gigs of RAM…”
  [43:49 Mitch]: “I’m a single issue voter. RAM prices.”
• Chat about gaming habits:
  • Wiger: Solo, story-driven, platformers, and tactical games.
  • Julian: Online multiplayer, Apex Legends, Helldivers 2, streaming with his partner (see plugs), nostalgia for “LAN party” vibes.
• [68:14 Julian]: “Do anything else with your life. For the love of God, do anything else [but Apex].”

6. Movita Juice Bar Review Segment

Timestamps: [74:26] and onward

Movita Context:

• Founded by Raul Rodriguez and Jorge Campos, inspired by healthy-eating after a child’s cancer diagnosis and recovery.
• Now at 29+ locations (CA, AZ, NV, FL, TX).
• “Movita” means “more life”.

Pre-Eating Ritual:

• Group does ginger shots (in shot glass, pineapple chasers).
• [77:07 Julian]: “With the pineapple chaser!”
• Wiger’s “tremor” causes him to spill the juice—a recurring, self-deprecating bit.

Order Rundown:

• Food:

  • Avocado toast (with sliced egg)
  • Peanut butter toast (with strawberries, bananas, puree)
  • Almond butter toast (with Nutella drizzle)
  • Acai bowl: “Mr. Bowl” (acai, fruit, granola, almond butter, chia, etc.)

• Drinks:

  • Strawberry banana smoothie (with monk fruit, option for agave)
  • Peanut butter banana smoothie
  • “Mucho Mango” smoothie
  • Red tonic (beet-based juice)
  • “Fiber Green” juice (controversial)

Reactions:

• Across the board, food is solid, toasts the standouts – “dainty” portions but great value ($4.49 each).
• [80:12 Tiger]: “The almond butter toast was yummy. I had a nice time with it.”
• Smoothies rated as “just okay” to very good depending on non-sweetener/sweetener choice.
• Amelia: Monk fruit aftertaste is “bubblegum”-like; prefers agave.
• Green juice (Fiber Green) universally panned as “like drinking lawnmower clippings.”
  — [99:45 Tiger]: “Low light for me. It tasted like grass.”

Surprise Domino’s Temptation

• Commissioner Susser crashes the review, brings a hot Domino’s cheese pizza from the neighboring shop.
• Everyone but Julian gives in and agrees: “Best thing I ate today.”
  [96:42 Tiger]: “This foul temptress… it was the best thing I ate.”
• Sparks existential crisis: even on a juice episode, the pull of junk food is too strong.

7. Fork Scores for Movita

(Major segment, [101:07])

• Everyone agrees that, for LA, Movita is a good value-for-quality spot, especially compared to places like Erewhon or Creation.
• Fork Scores:
  • Julian Stern: 4.5 forks — only wish the toast was served hot.
  • Amelia: 4 forks
  • Emma: 4 forks, Straw Junior™ (the group's invented partial rating symbol).
  • Tiger Wiger: 4 forks, Straw Junior
  • Mitch: 3.75 forks and a Straw Junior (“not the best smoothie place, but a nice addition”).
• Unofficial consensus: “Four forks club” — recommended for healthy, affordable LA snacking.

8. Snack or Whack Segment

[110:24]:

• Jenny’s Old Fashioned Popcorn, “Cheesecorn” and Caramel “Diddos.”
  • Huge hit—caramel outshines cheese.
  • [113:15 Tiger]: “What a great crunch!”

9. Voicemail: “There are Only Four Types of Food” Theory

[115:09]:

• Listener Jake (via Joe) posits: “All food is either sandwich, salad, meat, or soup.”
• Hosts and Julian humorously attempt to break the model.
  • “Is pizza a sandwich? Is cereal a soup?”
  • “Cake? Dessert? Sushi?”
  • Eventually: “Maybe you’re right… but it’s wildly reductive.”

10. Final Plugs & Goodbyes

• Julian plugs:
  • The Comeback S3 (HBO Max)
  • Goblin Girlfriend (animated web series, IG: @julesmagewls; Twitch: GoblinGirlfriend)
• Hosts wrap with trademark affectionate teasing.

Notable Quotes & Moments (with Timestamps)

• “If they said, Star Wars presents Glep Shitto, I will be in the theater in one second.” — Mitch [08:48]
• On college cafeteria cereal:
  [25:09 Julian]: “I never… cereal at night. That was amazing to me.”
• On fried chicken finds:
  [30:04 Julian]: “Crawford’s? Best fried chicken you might ever get in Los Angeles.”

  [96:44 Tiger]: “Best thing I ate too, and I was so annoyed.”

  [80:12 Tiger]: “I think those were the highlights. The toasts were maybe the highlights.”
• On the Fiber Green juice:
  [99:45 Tiger]: “Low light for me. It tasted like grass…like the remnants of a lawnmower.”
• On their own review scale:
  [109:41] “Straw Junior’s a tine.” — establishing in-episode rating logic.

Timestamps for Key Segments

• Movita review begins: [74:26]
• Food Rundown (toasts, smoothies, bowls): [79:50–88:26]
• Domino’s Cheating: [94:11–98:14]

• Snack or Whack (popcorn): [110:24]
• Voicemail “4 Types of Food” debate: [115:09]
• Plugs and goodbyes: [121:42]

---

Overall Tone & Character

• Self-deprecating, playful, scattershot: Frequent comedic digressions, improv, and “loopy” energy after four days’ recording.
• Warmhearted camaraderie shines between in-jokes, debates, and open affection between cast and guest.
• Balanced review: Even as the juice place is well-liked, every member is susceptible to the siren call of cheese pizza—proof of the Doughboys’ undimmed chain food core.

---

Final Takeaway

Movita Juice Bar impresses the Doughboys and their guest as a great-value, “LA affordable,” flavorful healthy chain—although it can’t outshine the primal appeal of fresh, melty Domino’s pizza. The episode is a great example of Doughboys’ mix of absurd comedic energy, food geekery, and the eternal struggle between wellness and indulgence.

[Tiger Weiger]

In 1977, Edgardo Diaz, a music producer, assembled a quintet of Puerto Rican youths to form a boy band called Menudo. Over the next few years, they became a sensation in Latin America, Fueled by its commitment to boyish charm over loyalty, members were forced out as they aged in favor of newer, younger singers. The world of boy bands, like any sector of the entertainment industry that relies on child talent, is fraught. A former Menudo member raised sexual assault allegations against record executive Jose Menendez, the father of the infamously patricidal Menendez brothers, whose allegations, the elder Menendez assaulted them, was part of their murder defense. But Menudo did provide a launch. Bad for young talent, including one originally rejected by the band for being too small and too young, a rising star from San Juan named Ricky Martin. Martin began his tenure with Menudo in 1984 at age 12, a stretch that would include an appearance on Oprah where the host would call him the cutest thing she's ever seen. And in 1991, he began the solo career that would continue to the present day. But it wasn't until 1999 that Martin had the breakout single that would rocket him to international stardom, an earwarm anthem titled Living La Vida Loca, an extension of the existing Mi vida Loca phrase that is a popular triforce of dots tattoo, it roughly translates to living the crazy life. The song was a smash hit, even appearing in Shrek 2, and made the then fully adult Martin a sex symbol of the early aughts. Two decades later, in 2015, five years after Martin notably came out as gay, Raul Rodriguez and Jorge Campos founded a SoCal juice concept with its name also centered around the Spanish language word for life, translating as more Life. Now, with 30 locations and upcoming plans to expand to 50 and a half dozen states, this juicery is perhaps on its way to becoming the Ricky Martin of Smoothie chainsaw. Though despite its wide array of liquids for sale, there's currently no Menudo on the menu. This week on Doughboys, we're living Movita Loca with Movita Juice Bar.

[Mitch]

Go is the donut boys double the donut boys.

[Tiger Weiger]

Welcome to Doughboys, the podcast about chain restaurants. I'm Tiger Weiger, along with my co host Benoit Bland, the spoon man, Michael Bland. I think it's like a Benoit Blanc,

[Mitch]

but now the jokes have gone on to I'm Bland.

[Tiger Weiger]

After listening to the episode with Emmy Blotnick and hearing Weiger like Amelia's ooh,

[Mitch]

bad, bad, bad roast. Bad. It was bad.

[Tiger Weiger]

It sounded like you were booing Emmy Blotnik. The timing of that was really unfortunate.

[Amelia]

Yay.

[Tiger Weiger]

I mean, blot Nick boo roast a weiger. Hearing weiger like Amelia's pitch of Benoit Spice. I thought Benoit Bland would be a double roast for Mitch since he doesn't like Benoit Blanc. And obviously Bland is bad. Thanks for all the laughs. Julia p. Roasted birdfuck.com Mitch, what you're saying is that this roast was just dumb.

[Mitch]

I agree. The roast is just dumb. I look, I shouldn't have talked shit about I I like to knives out. Everyone loves knives out. And then people got mad that I made fun of Grogu today. And then the episode about Grogu Came out. Yeah, sorry to date it. We're dating the episode a little bit.

[Tiger Weiger]

We're dating the episode.

[Mitch]

But the.

[Julian Stern]

We're.

[Mitch]

I made. I made.

[Tiger Weiger]

We're. We're in a relationship with the. This episode.

[Mitch]

Yeah, we're dating this episode.

[Tiger Weiger]

It's a situationship.

[Amelia]

More.

[Tiger Weiger]

More than anything.

[Amelia]

Episode's only like four minutes old, so.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, that's a bit of a problem.

[Mitch]

4 minutes old is a record for you. He likes him young is the.

[Tiger Weiger]

Okay, that's not true. That's not canon. That's just a thing he says.

[Mitch]

Our poor guest is so scared.

[Julian Stern]

What information is.

[Mitch]

Don't worry, I'm fessing around.

[Tiger Weiger]

I don't like some young.

[Julian Stern]

It doesn't help at all. Viewers, help me out. Get me out of here.

[Mitch]

No, I'm yelling at them right now. So hold on a second. Don't. Don't take their side. Yeah, you know, I made fun of Grogu and the thing and then they were like, if Mitch hates cynical money grabs, like, I got bad news from about the rest of Star Wars. This is like what annoys me. Oh, shit. I had no idea that George Lucas profited off of Star Wars. Yeah, of course he did. But also, that's his creation. First of all, I just. And like. So now you're comparing like Disney CEO saying, this is like my billion dollar baby to George Lucas who created stuff and has a creative mind and made Star wars. And yes, he made money off of it. And yeah, he made some stuff that intentionally he knew was going to make money, but he created it. So now you're like, oh, it's the same thing as the Disney.

[Amelia]

Shut.

[Mitch]

Shut the fuck up. Our listeners are so fucking annoying. I can't stand it anymore. Damn it.

[Tiger Weiger]

You're on an island with your Grogu. Hate. I think. Do you like Grogu? How do you feel about Grogu? Baby Yoda?

[Julian Stern]

Yeah, I watched like. Well, I actually had a job as a YouTube editor and I had to rewatch their visit to Baby Yoda a lot. So that baby got really annoying for me.

[Mitch]

Wow.

[Julian Stern]

Okay.

[Tiger Weiger]

It got really annoying.

[Julian Stern]

I don't see the appeal.

[Tiger Weiger]

Maybe it's growing. The Grogu backlash.

[Mitch]

I don't care. I just don't care about Grogu. Why do I have to care about. We're so dumb. We're so. The world is so dumb. We're little babies as the world is falling apart on us.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, sure.

[Mitch]

Like, by the way, the CEO's idea is. Is a baby fied Yoda. That's the end of the day, it

[Tiger Weiger]

came from the CEO. I think it created. Came from someone else.

[Mitch]

No, creatively, it probably came from someone else, but I'm saying Ewoks at least. Like, sure, they were saying Ewoks. Money grabs. I don't even want to get into it. Ewoks are at least original creatures.

[Tiger Weiger]

Well, that was an analog for the Vietnam War, the insurgency there.

[Mitch]

I also know this. You think I don't know this?

[Tiger Weiger]

It's like one of the things where the biggest advantage and one of the biggest advantages in warfare is knowledge of terrain. And that was what the Ewoks above the Empire, even though they had inferior weapons.

[Mitch]

Baby Yodas. What is. What's that? What's that?

[Tiger Weiger]

Analog, Force sensitive. And he's cute as fuck.

[Amelia]

Yeah, we like some young.

[Mitch]

You already know. You've been with us for a good half an hour, so, you know, everyone is a freak. It's fine. Everyone is. Everyone here is a freak.

[Tiger Weiger]

We're fast friends, having a good time.

[Julian Stern]

You think it's cute? You think it's cute?

[Tiger Weiger]

I think Grogu is cute.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah. What about him is cute? Is it the eye?

[Mitch]

Julian, I love you, my boy.

[Julian Stern]

Because when I hear the name. Oh, it's the Mandalorian in Grogu, it just makes me think of, like, Glep Shitto. It's like. It's like, what are we. What are we doing?

[Mitch]

I agree. What are we doing?

[Tiger Weiger]

Well, I am waiting for the Glep Shitto movie.

[Mitch]

I would say if they said, star wars presents Glep Shido. I will be in the theater in one second.

[Julian Stern]

I would be like, I can't believe they're doing it. They're making a movie about my favorite Star wars character.

[Mitch]

And if. If I went in there and it wasn't like a baby fied, like Tauntaun or whatever the else is going to be. It's not a baby Jar Jar. If it just is a new alien creature named Glep Shito. I'm a Glep Shito. He's like that way.

[Tiger Weiger]

Whatever. He's like, oh, that guy is. I like this guy.

[Mitch]

All right. I don't like it anymore. All right. That does suck.

[Tiger Weiger]

What is. He says blood. His name. He says his own name.

[Mitch]

What does he do? What does Glepshoe do?

[Julian Stern]

He.

[Mitch]

He. He.

[Tiger Weiger]

I'll repair Starfighters, but I do it

[Mitch]

on the black market.

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh, I'm glepsitto. Bah.

[Julian Stern]

Maybe we're gonna see Jabba the Hutt with glepsitto.

[Mitch]

That's that's crazy. I like. If Glep Shitto sees Jabba, I'm okay with it.

[Tiger Weiger]

I'm secretly dealing death sticks on the side. That's my real hustle. Blah. I'm Glep Shitto.

[Mitch]

Don't let Glepshito near your ass. He sucks the turd out of you.

[Tiger Weiger]

That's another thing I do. I eat turds direct from the source.

[Mitch]

Glep Shitto.

[Julian Stern]

I don't think I like Lep Shitto anymore.

[Mitch]

He's. He actually won me back a

[Julian Stern]

really. That's losing me.

[Mitch]

That won't be back a little bit. I like Lepido.

[Tiger Weiger]

I like Lep Shito.

[Mitch]

Anyways, I'm sorry I yelled at our listeners. I like you guys.

[Tiger Weiger]

We like you. We love our listeners. I couldn't do it without you.

[Mitch]

Emil is the only one who didn't kiss.

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh, wait, there you go. Oh, whoops, my shoe fell off.

[Mitch]

All right, now I think our guest is getting nervous.

[Julian Stern]

No, wait, hold on, hold on. If he took his sock off too, then I start getting nervous.

[Amelia]

Our episode did great numbers.

[Tiger Weiger]

That's behind the paywall.

[Amelia]

No, it's not. No, it's not. Publix publics.

[Tiger Weiger]

Well, whatever. Enjoy, freaks. People got a little people. I was also hearing the backlash. People are a little upset about you and being mean to'd. About Amelia being mean to'd.

[Amelia]

I got a screech screenshot of a Reddit comment this morning from Mitch, and it said. It said that something like, mitch is too mean to Emelia.

[Mitch]

That's.

[Tiger Weiger]

We understand that this is a comedy podcast where we joke around with each other, right? Yes, we understand that much.

[Amelia]

Wait, it is?

[Tiger Weiger]

Well, Emma, you listen more than anyone, so I understand your confusion. Definitely does not succeed.

[Mitch]

Look, I've been stirring the pot a lot lately, so maybe I'm getting myself in trouble. Yeah, but I'm not. I'm not too mean to Emelia. She's mean to me. You don't even see it.

[Amelia]

Yeah, we. There's a lot of bullying going on off camera that I do to Mitch, so it's. And also, it's in good fun.

[Tiger Weiger]

We're having fun.

[Amelia]

We all love each other here.

[Mitch]

First they say we can't date our employees. Now we can't be mean to them.

[Amelia]

You have to choose one or the other.

[Tiger Weiger]

We can't trash the Headgum Network.

[Mitch]

That scared you. I'm sorry.

[Julian Stern]

No, no, not at all.

[Mitch]

You have a beautiful scene.

[Julian Stern]

No, no, you guys, this isn't scary.

[Tiger Weiger]

We're having fun.

[Mitch]

We're having a great time.

[Julian Stern]

This is really fun.

[Tiger Weiger]

We're having a great time here at the Headgum offices, which is bustling like a newspaper in the 1930s. Just people just walking all over the place. Everyone's getting work done, arms full of papers.

[Mitch]

I'm staying quiet.

[Tiger Weiger]

Upload the next episode. Buy some more ads.

[Julian Stern]

Sell, sell, sell.

[Tiger Weiger]

Podcast. Podcast.

[Mitch]

Oh, you're the guy who everyone's. Everyone come into work. I want to see you working the nine to five from my office, my suite upstairs, watching you through the glass.

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh, yeah.

[Mitch]

Disgusting to me. You know what we did.

[Tiger Weiger]

I would love to have that office overlooking everybody.

[Mitch]

Yeah, no shit you would.

[Tiger Weiger]

That'd be fun.

[Mitch]

Good vantage point for

[Tiger Weiger]

when I got to snipe my employees. Yeah, well, we're having fun. I'm always having fun.

[Mitch]

Yeah, I know, but I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.

[Tiger Weiger]

I'm not always having fun.

[Mitch]

No, you're not always having fun, but anyway. You're not having fun.

[Tiger Weiger]

But anyway. We don't talk about head gum. No, no.

[Mitch]

I knew you're gonna get yourself in trouble.

[Tiger Weiger]

Well, I'm not getting in trouble.

[Mitch]

No, no, I meant before when you. When you were talking about. I knew you, and I was like, okay, well, I mean, I. Look, what do you want from me? Everything sucks.

[Tiger Weiger]

Everything's bad.

[Mitch]

We're in a bad stretch.

[Tiger Weiger]

We're in a bad stretch right now.

[Mitch]

I'm gonna just hit him with a drop. We're gonna get into this.

[Amelia]

Speaking of bad, here you go.

[Mitch]

This year, take the journey as two

[Tiger Weiger]

podcasters attempt to clean up their act. I've tasted every fluid for my body.

[Mitch]

They smell so fun.

[Amelia]

Good.

[Tiger Weiger]

It's just absolutely delicious.

[Mitch]

I was tricked into. I was tricked into drinking some. I wanted it.

[Tiger Weiger]

If I was able to lactate. I think tasting it would be, like, the first thing I'd do.

[Julian Stern]

Sure.

[Mitch]

And I. And I. And I. And I drank.

[Amelia]

It was good.

[Tiger Weiger]

The easiest five forks of my life, actually.

[Mitch]

This is one of our least gross episodes in a very long time. Sadly problematic stuff. I said. So.

[Amelia]

So it actually be like 20 minutes.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah, 20 minutes. Well, okay.

[Tiger Weiger]

There's a lot of envy about the fairer sex, but even being able to produce nourishing milk is definitely one of them. I would. If I. I stand by the lactation thing. If I could. If I could lactate, I would. I would. I would definitely taste it.

[Mitch]

Yeah, that's the thing I'm most jealous of. The opposite sex ability to make milk. I guess you're right. Yeah, that's what?

[Julian Stern]

That's.

[Mitch]

That is. That's. That is. That's. You really wish you could make milk.

[Amelia]

I don't know.

[Tiger Weiger]

That'd be fun. Be interesting. It's like bodies are interesting. I think it's. I think like another thing to experience.

[Mitch]

Bodies are interesting. I feel like I'd never get. You never come into the studio anymore. You just be drinking yourself all day long.

[Amelia]

Different kinds of self suck.

[Tiger Weiger]

Dozens of people at headgum. Where's Waigar? We need Weigar now. We need a new Doughboys episode

[Amelia]

drinking

[Tiger Weiger]

his titty milk every. We didn't do a special episode on the Glep Shitto movie.

[Mitch]

You should write a Glep Shitto movie. Didn't Meet the Meet the Parents say you can milk anything if you try?

[Tiger Weiger]

Yes. Can you milk me?

[Mitch]

Oh, right. Oh, that's right. That's. He's Ben Stiller saying, you can milk me.

[Tiger Weiger]

Stiller saying, can you try?

[Julian Stern]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

All right, here we go. Let's read this email. Howdy ho to Spoon man. Tiger Wagger, Emma, Amelia, the legendary Drop King Susser Cold that thought for later. The ghost of you song Mike, Jimmy, Wally and Irma and I hope I remembered everybody. I miss Casey's laughter from the docket. Oh, that's nice.

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh, that is nice.

[Mitch]

Shout out to the Burger Brigade and Spoonation pulling together this drop. I felt like the Fly By Night doctor from Tim Burton's Batman. You see? Yeah. You see what I have to work with? Okay, I do get that reference.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

Do you know that reference? Have you seen Batman?

[Tiger Weiger]

Which Batman? This is Batman. The Tim Burton one.

[Mitch]

This is the Tim Burton.

[Tiger Weiger]

Give me the reference again.

[Mitch]

Okay. I felt like the Fly By Night doctor from Tim Burton's Batman. You see what? I have to work with that guy.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Mitch]

Is this one Jack Nelson is transformed into.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, it's the guy who's doing the Joker, the back alley, like sort of surgeon.

[Mitch]

Have you seen. Did you see Batman?

[Julian Stern]

I remember very little. I watched it when I was a kid.

[Mitch]

Oh yeah. I was gonna say it came out. It came out. I watched it when I was a kid. I watched.

[Julian Stern]

How old were you guys when you watched it?

[Tiger Weiger]

I was like, he was like 16.

[Mitch]

Oh, you were 8?

[Tiger Weiger]

I think so. It was pretty young.

[Julian Stern]

I pretty sure I watched it when I was around like eight or ten.

[Tiger Weiger]

Wow. Okay.

[Mitch]

It's a good eight. It's a good eight year old movie, I would say in 1989, Batman came out. Right.

[Tiger Weiger]

It's also a movie that was in heavy rotation for me. I Kept watching that much.

[Mitch]

So you actually were a little older. 1989, it came out. So you were nine.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, no, wait.

[Mitch]

Oh, eight or nine. I was seven or seven.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

But I did see that movie theater. So that was a. That was an early. It's kind of a scary.

[Tiger Weiger]

I remember this was the era where. Because I do.

[Amelia]

I have.

[Tiger Weiger]

I have, you know. You have foggy memories of an age under 10. Under age 10. I do remember because, like, movie theaters used to be, you just line up for a seat and you don't have any sort of, like, nothing's reserved. So I remember just, like, lining up for, like, two hours for Batman with my family and then. And you just, like, bored in line. It's like we used to. We used to spend so much time just waiting for stuff with nothing to do.

[Mitch]

What do you think you were, like, at four minutes old, like, this episode was at one point?

[Tiger Weiger]

I think I was.

[Mitch]

Can I guess?

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

No. Not even crying.

[Julian Stern]

I think.

[Tiger Weiger]

I think it did come out.

[Mitch]

Congratulations, Wagner. It's a baby boy. And just. No, there's nothing. No, no crying. Just staring straight ahead.

[Tiger Weiger]

I think it did come out calm. I was fat and calm. Big, plump, content, 10 pound, 8 ounce baby in a Zen like state.

[Mitch]

Well, what happened to you? You're not calm anymore. Still fat calm.

[Tiger Weiger]

We're having fun.

[Mitch]

All right. You are kind of calm, and you're definitely still fat.

[Julian Stern]

You're talking about drinking your own titty milk.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, that's true.

[Amelia]

Pretty calm.

[Julian Stern]

I do.

[Tiger Weiger]

Pretty calm.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

[Amelia]

For this show.

[Mitch]

Anyway, thank you for the years of laughter. Comedy is a lifesaver in this abysmal charade we call life. Oh, geez. Happy eating. I get it. Great attitude, Brandon. Thank you, Brandon.

[Tiger Weiger]

Thanks, Brandon.

[Mitch]

Maybe I shouldn't say his whole name, but you know what?

[Tiger Weiger]

I did [e-mail]. i do want to introduce our guest, but we have one thing, one bit of business we need to get to. Amelia, you showed us your Columbo impression.

[Amelia]

Yes.

[Tiger Weiger]

Why. Why do you know Columbus so well?

[Amelia]

Scorpion watched Columba. Columbo constantly growing up, so I've seen quite a bit of Columbo.

[Tiger Weiger]

Emelia's father's name's Scorpion.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, got it.

[Tiger Weiger]

You want me to. Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, whatever. If you're comfortable doing it, I think people would enjoy it.

[Mitch]

I think she's chomping at the bit.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah.

[Amelia]

Okay. And one more thing. Can I borrow a pen? Let me. Let me. Let me ask you one more thing.

[Mitch]

We were.

[Tiger Weiger]

Wow.

[Mitch]

We were. We were we were. We were blown away by this because one, I did not know that. You can move both eyes individually.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah. For people who are just listening to the audio feed, you owe yourself to check out the video of that because it is quite a visual display.

[Mitch]

She can do the Daffy Gremlin from. Is that What. What his name is? Is it Daffy from Gremlins?

[Tiger Weiger]

I think so.

[Mitch]

I'm looking Daffy Gremlin. Yeah, I think it is. You can. Which is that.

[Amelia]

Is this thing. Wait.

[Mitch]

Yep.

[Amelia]

Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

Emelia's moving her eyes independently, which is. This is insane to see this.

[Mitch]

What you haven't seen. That is wild.

[Julian Stern]

You've never.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah. In the. Whatever. Three plus years of knowing you, how long have you worked?

[Amelia]

Five, I think. We've known each other five years, I think.

[Tiger Weiger]

Has it been that long? In the five years, I don't think I've ever seen this talent displayed.

[Mitch]

You're gonna love Daffy. You're gonna love Daffy Grant Gremlin.

[Amelia]

Okay.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, yeah.

[Amelia]

We gotta watch Gremlins in.

[Mitch]

In the South. We're gonna watch. We're gonna watch Gremlins.

[Tiger Weiger]

We gotta watch Gremlins in the South.

[Mitch]

Oh, you gotta watch Gremlins down here in the South.

[Amelia]

Which means as this episode comes out, we might be watching it, like, right now.

[Tiger Weiger]

Wow. It's totally possible in the South. We will be in the south when this releases. Yeah, I guess we should. We should plug our.

[Amelia]

Tonight, we'll be in North Carolina, and tomorrow we'll be in Atlanta. Tonight we'll be in Charlotte.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah. So there's still tickets available. Come, please join us.

[Amelia]

Come through.

[Tiger Weiger]

Hopefully the rally last night went well.

[Amelia]

Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

We didn't get chased out of town.

[Mitch]

Can I. Can I make a guess? Yeah, it went bad.

[Tiger Weiger]

Probably went pretty bad.

[Mitch]

And we got chased out of town.

[Tiger Weiger]

You know what? Carl Tartt was there, and he's going to be there tonight.

[Mitch]

Yeah, he's smooth. He'll smooth things over for us. Yeah.

[Amelia]

So we're on the run right now, that's what you're saying?

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

Our guest today from The Comeback, Season 3, now streaming on HBO. Max, Julian Stern is here. Hi, Julian.

[Julian Stern]

Hi.

[Tiger Weiger]

Thanks so much for making time for us.

[Mitch]

That was cool as hell. He said your name.

[Julian Stern]

That's right. I snap my finger and I look at the camera. It's awesome. I'm a really cool person. Sorry to pull off curiosity. I asked for a glass of water and you guys brought me a mason jar. Just out of curiosity. No, this hasn't been inside anyone, right?

[Tiger Weiger]

No. As Far as I know, this has not been used in any sort of a stunt.

[Julian Stern]

Right. I've already taken a couple sips.

[Mitch]

I don't know. That is. That's. I think we. I think it's all Mason jars in there.

[Tiger Weiger]

It's all Mason jars. One has been inside a person, but it's just.

[Mitch]

It's kind of a gamble. You don't. You don't got to worry about it.

[Julian Stern]

It's like Russian roulette, but it's like.

[Tiger Weiger]

It's a dice roll.

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

And it's been through the dishwasher, so you're fine.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, great.

[Tiger Weiger]

I once. One of. One of my first sets of dishes I found in a dumpster. I was walking by a dumpster. I was like, there's someone's throwing away plates and forks. And I just took them out, and I took them back and I washed them, and I used them.

[Mitch]

It brings a whole new meaning to the word garbage plate. Am I right, folks?

[Tiger Weiger]

We'll be right back.

[Julian Stern]

What does garbage plate mean?

[Mitch]

It's a food that. I thought you did know.

[Tiger Weiger]

I did.

[Mitch]

I did.

[Tiger Weiger]

I went. I went to break because I was so good. Garbage plate is a. Is a. Mitch, do you want to describe garbage plate as someone who spent some time.

[Mitch]

We're talking Rochester, New York, baby. Rochester, New York. You got yourself a base of Mac salad, and then you got French fries, and you got a chopped up. People get mad at me because I had a garbage plate, like, once. I'm probably gonna get this wrong. Let's see how close I get. You got a cheeseburger patty. It's usually chopped up, and then there's, like, some hot sauce on there. And then.

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh, wait.

[Mitch]

And the Max salad is maybe on top.

[Tiger Weiger]

Got it. Base of fries. That makes more sense.

[Mitch]

Maybe base of fries. Tell me how I did. I think I got a lot of the ingredients. I think I got close. They're looking. Amelia.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah. You.

[Mitch]

You got choco cheeseburger patty. It doesn't have to be cheeseburger. It can be, like, a different meat.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, sure. You get. You get protein options.

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Amelia]

I'm looking for this. The. The order of operations here. It's hard.

[Mitch]

Okay. Okay.

[Tiger Weiger]

I think if you got just the various components, that will be.

[Mitch]

Yeah, that's fine.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, is it just, like, loaded fries?

[Mitch]

It kind of is like loaded fries. Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah. Just kind of everything on top of a plate. Everything you might have at a fast

[Amelia]

food restaurant, according to Wikipedia, a garbage plate. Mac salad says a hot dog or hamburger meat.

[Tiger Weiger]

Love that.

[Amelia]

Hot meat sauce. And other. And then just as other condiments. Oh, yeah. Mac salad. Home fries.

[Mitch]

Yeah, home fries.

[Amelia]

It says side of buttered bread.

[Mitch]

Was I wrong? Was it more home fries? And then french fries might be more home fried.

[Amelia]

It also could be one of those things like this place makes it with home fries. This place does it with french fries. Or maybe you choose your potato.

[Mitch]

Yeah, yeah.

[Amelia]

Rogers would know, right?

[Mitch]

What's that?

[Amelia]

Rogers would know. He's from that area.

[Mitch]

He is, yeah. He's Buffalo. He's a Buffalo boy. But still, I think that. Yeah, I think it is. I think it is Rochester more than anything. We've never done an upstate New York tour.

[Tiger Weiger]

What are we going to do in upstate New York?

[Mitch]

We're going to Rochester, Mad. First of all, Ithaca. First of all, what kind of.

[Tiger Weiger]

What kind of venue we're going to play in Ithaca?

[Mitch]

You don't want to tour my college town. Yeah, or mine.

[Julian Stern]

You live.

[Tiger Weiger]

You live in the city where my college is and you've never expressed any interest?

[Mitch]

I've been to ucla.

[Tiger Weiger]

What are you doing at ucla?

[Mitch]

Also, come on.

[Tiger Weiger]

What do you mean, come on?

[Mitch]

You went there for a year.

[Tiger Weiger]

I went for there for way more than a year. What are you talking about?

[Mitch]

I knew I was going to get in trouble if I said that. Talking about how long did you go there for?

[Tiger Weiger]

I was there for three years.

[Mitch]

I. I won't support the place that didn't graduate you.

[Tiger Weiger]

Wow. Julian, you went to usc.

[Mitch]

Let's do Doughboys college tour.

[Tiger Weiger]

Okay, great. I can't go back to that campus. You.

[Mitch]

Yeah, you went. You went to usc.

[Julian Stern]

I did, yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

What is the college tour?

[Mitch]

Wagger's zooming in from the van 500ft down the street. What's up, college kids? How are you? The screen slowly comes down. Hey, everybody.

[Tiger Weiger]

There's bars over it. What. What was the. What was the dining hall situation at usc?

[Julian Stern]

Oh, dude, freshman year was the best. We had this place called evk. If anyone's going to usc. If you go to. What was it called? New North, I believe was the dormitory.

[Tiger Weiger]

New North.

[Julian Stern]

New North. That's the place where, like, you had everyone who was trying to get into a fraternity. Freshman year, it was a fucking mess. Every month someone there was a new case of the flu, and it was awful. But you could eat whatever you want at evk. You could get cereal at night. And that was amazing to me.

[Tiger Weiger]

Love that.

[Mitch]

I love that. You know what a call like the cafeterias at college. Was it. Was it open?

[Julian Stern]

It was a cafeteria that was like open till Like, I guess, like nine. Nine.

[Mitch]

Okay.

[Amelia]

All right.

[Mitch]

Yeah, that's pretty good. No, it's pretty good. Towers had a late night. Remember Towers had late night food. Pretty.

[Tiger Weiger]

One of the Ethica dorms.

[Mitch]

Yeah, Yeah, I lived in. I lived in the east tower.

[Tiger Weiger]

Very cool.

[Julian Stern]

You're tower. East tower.

[Amelia]

Beast Tower.

[Mitch]

Were you an East Tower person?

[Amelia]

No, I didn't live in the tower.

[Mitch]

East tower was the non smoking one. So I think people. Which is insane. Yeah, I think I went to college when the, like, west tower was a smoking tower.

[Amelia]

You smoke in your dorm?

[Mitch]

I mean, like, it was for, like, smoke at that point. I think it was like, it's like, you can smoke like, like if you're, if you smoke. It was, you know, you're 18 years old, you can smoke cigarettes.

[Tiger Weiger]

They called the non smoking tower, but earlier was the Virgin tower.

[Mitch]

Well, yeah, for me it was, you know what? I could have lived. I should have lived there all four years.

[Tiger Weiger]

Did you have any, by the way?

[Mitch]

Yeah, I'm not, I. Weger's a very. I'm gonna get in trouble for this. Weger's a very smart man. This just proves you don't need to go to college, you know, you don't gotta go to college.

[Tiger Weiger]

It's accreditation. Not, you know, it's.

[Mitch]

I'm not trying to make fun of him for. I don't know why. I actually don't know why you didn't graduate.

[Tiger Weiger]

I got a job and I was just like, I'll just take this job and honestly, a college.

[Mitch]

How do your parents feel about that?

[Tiger Weiger]

I don't think they cared.

[Mitch]

No.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah. They've always been like. My parents were like, get out of the house at age 18. And then you're go for damn right on that one.

[Mitch]

I don't blame you guys. Get him out of there.

[Tiger Weiger]

They were always, they were always very supportive of everything I did.

[Mitch]

Shoveling your hentai into the furnace of

[Tiger Weiger]

a stash of hentai. My childhood home. I came to the dorm room.

[Amelia]

I was saying, you would have taken it.

[Julian Stern]

All right.

[Mitch]

Sorry I cut you off. Look, I, I. Ithaca food was okay. How was you? I feel like USC food has gotta be better than Ithaca food.

[Julian Stern]

It depends honestly, where you go, evk. I think honestly, you get the best treatment you can there. There was another dorm that's all the way across the other side of the campus. But I thought their food was always, like, it was fine, it was okay. But like, they had really great pizza. They had chicken tenders. It was. It was great. They literally had everything you could ever have there. Especially the cereal. They had cereal. I can't. Sorry. That was the biggest mind boggling thing that I could detest.

[Mitch]

I was never. I would never be excited for cereal though. I do like a good bowl of frosted flakes.

[Tiger Weiger]

You ever have cereal at night? You ever have like a, like a dessert cereal?

[Mitch]

I did. That's fine. I would do a dessert, you know, as an adult. Sorry, not as adult as, like, as like a 40 year old man. I don't do that anymore.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, but as a kid I was doing that all the time.

[Mitch]

Sure. Night by night bowl.

[Amelia]

Yeah, it's a great stone snack because it. You're thirsty and hungry. It takes care of both.

[Julian Stern]

I never tried that.

[Tiger Weiger]

I have a couple kinds of night bowls.

[Amelia]

Yeah. Smoke a bowl.

[Mitch]

Yeah. Emma, we know the night balls. Hey, when I was a Ithaca, I was having night. I was, I was having night.

[Tiger Weiger]

I bet you were.

[Mitch]

Certainly was.

[Tiger Weiger]

I smoked some reefer.

[Julian Stern]

What?

[Mitch]

You're talking about Orlando, Florida.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah. In Orlando we're on vacation.

[Mitch]

While we're in the south, maybe, you know, I'll smoke. I will smoke a joint with you.

[Tiger Weiger]

How fun is that?

[Mitch]

Oh yeah, this is coming out at some point. Yeah, you gotta, you gotta bleep this. So my mom doesn't see it. But I will smoke. I'm, I'm kidding. I think she maybe would if she saw me smoking weed. She'd be mad at me. Yeah, I think still she's, she has that perspective on, on, on drugs.

[Tiger Weiger]

Interesting.

[Mitch]

I think she wouldn't like me still smoking.

[Tiger Weiger]

I, I wonder. I mean, that's just a generational thing, right?

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

Interesting. I'm so. Okay, so you like me. You've lived in Southern California your whole life. You're. You're an LA county guy like myself. Do you, do you have any local eats? I mean, obviously people think of like Tommy Burger, fat burger, you know, in and out burger. But it's okay if one of those is your answer. But I mean like, is there, is there, are there any places where I'm just like, ah, this is, this to me is a bite of home.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah, I mean, oh, a bite of home. I mean, that's the thing is that bite of home is like me going home to my parents and they prepare me like a nice homemade dish.

[Tiger Weiger]

Sure, sure. But I was, but you're, you're bite over your hometown.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah, I mean, I guess in n out is very cliche. That's what everyone grew up here eating and whatnot. For some reason in my school they would Always get the burgers, but they would refuse to put sauce on it. And I would just get like, what, An In N Out burger? And I would just be like, oh, this is okay, I guess, because I didn't get anything else with it.

[Mitch]

Why are you pissed?

[Tiger Weiger]

You get a dry guy?

[Mitch]

Yeah, he gets dry sauce.

[Julian Stern]

I've never heard of a dry guy before.

[Tiger Weiger]

Would they have. Would they have like a. Like a spread packet available or something or.

[Julian Stern]

If there was one available, I never saw it.

[Tiger Weiger]

That's insane. Now, was this at your. Was it your high school or was it.

[Julian Stern]

No, this was. This was. This was. This was my lower elementary school called Curtis.

[Tiger Weiger]

Your lower elementary school. Wow. Okay.

[Julian Stern]

They hated us. Just kidding.

[Tiger Weiger]

I wonder if that was like a weird nutritional guidelines thing.

[Julian Stern]

It. Maybe. Yeah, maybe. But I will say. Oh, sorry.

[Mitch]

No, no, you go. No, you go.

[Julian Stern]

If you guys want to try something that is local in la. And I'm going to get in trouble for this, I think. Actually, maybe not. Have you guys heard of Crawford's?

[Tiger Weiger]

Yes, I know Crawfords.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah, you know Crawford's? Best fried chicken you might ever get in Los Angeles.

[Mitch]

Wow. Why are you getting. You're getting in trouble because you're.

[Julian Stern]

You're showing it because I like, I. Every time I like, I asked my friend, My friend Ryan, who was from usc and he grew up in South Pass, and he took me to Crawford's one time, and I'm like, this is one of the best things ever. And he says, yeah, and Stern, don't you dare say a fucking word to anyone. What do you mean? Go put on your Instagram story. Don't tweet it. Don't put it on TikTok. I don't give a fuck. Don't tell.

[Mitch]

What's his name?

[Julian Stern]

His name's Ryan.

[Mitch]

Ryan, don't gatekeep Crawford's. We're going.

[Tiger Weiger]

Wow.

[Mitch]

The doughboys are gonna eat it out of business.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, man, it's great. And it's a bar and you just get like a $4 pint of beer and some Mac and cheese.

[Mitch]

I've been to Crawford's. Oh, it's fucking good. I've. Yes, it's great. It is great.

[Julian Stern]

It's diagonally across from Tommy's.

[Mitch]

Right, right, right, yeah.

[Julian Stern]

Have you been Taco Bell? Exactly.

[Mitch]

It's fantastic.

[Tiger Weiger]

That's cool.

I haven't been them forever. That you just unlocked.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, that makes.

[Mitch]

Let's go to Crawford.

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh, dude, we're rapping early tonight.

[Mitch]

Go to Crawford. I can't go.

[Tiger Weiger]

Mitch could cancel this thing and we

[Mitch]

can all go to Crawford.

[Julian Stern]

That sounds like a good thing to me.

[Mitch]

Let's go to Crawford's next week. Let's go to Crawford's.

[Tiger Weiger]

Go to Crawford's next. Actually, I would go to Crawford's next week.

We're going to need a bigger cross is what's. That's the subtitle of it. Yeah, we got a lot of stuff going on, so it's been a lot of. Yeah, there's been a lot of. Of.

[Tiger Weiger]

You're playing Jesus before the cross, right? They put you up there like that

[Mitch]

and then Lord of the Rings thing.

[Tiger Weiger]

So get to Jim Cavel later.

[Mitch]

Yeah, no, it's like a Lord of the Rings thing. So. So like it's going to be. I'm going to look much bigger.

[Tiger Weiger]

Right.

[Mitch]

And then, and then. Yeah, it's. And then the person who's playing thin Jesus is Brandon Fraser from the whale.

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh, that's great. Good for him.

[Julian Stern]

I can't wait for the final supper scene.

[Mitch]

We're going to be eating. We're going to be eating. Good.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah. This is our, this is our Chris because. And Crawford's great. Great to. To, you know, unlock a little, A little food memory there. But the like I am. We. We Mitch, we love eating garbage. And I think that's true. I think our, you know, we know

[Mitch]

you love eating food on plates from garbage.

[Tiger Weiger]

I. Out loud. I do like eating food on plates from garbage. A garbage plate, if you will. And our producers also.

[Mitch]

That's up.

[Julian Stern]

That was pretty good, Mike. I don't know.

[Mitch]

That's messed up.

[Tiger Weiger]

Our producers also love to eat. So when it's like, hey, we're going to have a team out. He's like, let's go get some like indulgent food and get drunk. And it's just like, well, this is what we do normally. For the podcast plus alcohol. We're just destroying our bodies and it. For. But not for content.

[Mitch]

We'll get into this because it's Applies specifically to today.

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh, my God.

[Mitch]

I mean, this is a whole thing.

[Tiger Weiger]

There may have been an interloper who added some complications.

[Mitch]

There was definitely an interloper who. Who added some complications. I was gonna say this when he said hometown when he's saying home eats.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

And you were like, oh, mom and dad, is there a specific thing? Because for me, baked haddock. My mom makes a baked attic. But is there. Is there. Is there an at home meal that you're like, I love this at home meal that I get when I go home. Every. Like, whenever I go home.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah. I mean, whenever I.

[Mitch]

Your parents live here, which is.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Julian Stern]

I'm very, first off, very lucky. Very, very thankful that I get to have that. That I get to have this life. But there was one meal that I grew up, and I've had this, like, ev. Every time. Every Monday. I had a schedule when I was a kid. I had a schedule, like food that I wanted because that's how. That's what I wanted. And so there's this one dish. It's lamb chops with garlic salt and Worcestershire sauce. And on the side is just some nice steamed broccoli. And that's like, that's like my favorite. That's like my favorite home meal. And I love that. I want to get it every time.

[Mitch]

It sounds good as hell.

[Tiger Weiger]

You lost Mitch with the steamed broccoli, but that does.

[Julian Stern]

Well, no, but there's some. There's some sauce as well. It's like, it's healthy.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah. I love broccoli all the time.

[Mitch]

I like broccoli, too. What the hell?

[Tiger Weiger]

What is your like, like? Because I, I. Would you say broccoli? Do you like, like a broccolini? Do you like, like a broccoli with

[Mitch]

a. I do like broccoli. Like, I like some charred broccol, but if there's some. I. I like broccoli. Broccoli is a vegetable.

[Julian Stern]

I do like steam and then they pan fry it in some of the sauce.

[Mitch]

That's.

[Julian Stern]

No, that's what I meant.

[Mitch]

Okay. Yeah.

[Julian Stern]

Guys, come on. I'm cool. I don't mean steamed broccoli.

[Tiger Weiger]

Lately.

[Mitch]

I didn't like. I didn't like lamb chops growing up, but now as an adult, I would love that.

[Tiger Weiger]

I've been won over to lamb chops. I've not had that preparation of. Of lamb chops. That sounds delightful.

[Julian Stern]

It's Amazing. I make with my steak. It's. It's. It's great.

[Mitch]

Wow, that sounds good as hell.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah, it's fantastic.

[Mitch]

We. We. You're. Oh, go ahead. You go first.

[Julian Stern]

I was going to just say one other thing. The one other thing. And I'm a little disappointed in myself because my, My, My. My. My. My friends from usc, they took me out to restaurants that I had never heard of before. They. They. They took me to Lowboy for a burger, which is like, I've. I've never.

[Mitch]

I've never been to Lowboy and I

[Amelia]

really want to go regularly because it's like, I live in Echo park and it delivers really fast and it's. It's. They're great burgers.

[Mitch]

Someone told us to have that. The chef from Lowboy on the podcast.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, cool.

[Mitch]

I think.

[Amelia]

What was it, Lamar, that was talking about Low Boy, maybe? Yeah, it's a great burger. It's a good. Yeah, it's a good. It's also a cute restaurant to sit in.

[Mitch]

Is it. Is it in. It's in Chinatown. Is that where.

[Amelia]

No, it's in Echo Park.

[Mitch]

Oh, it is.

[Tiger Weiger]

Are you worried by doxing your neighborhood and saying where a place that delivers to it quickly that people are going to triangulate your location?

[Amelia]

Yeah, they're gonna try and get.

[Mitch]

They've done that already.

[Amelia]

Populated neighborhoods in Los Angeles.

[Tiger Weiger]

I know where we all live.

[Mitch]

You're safe. You're safe. They've tried to. They did find me at my old place, and then they've tried to find me in the old place. No, no dice.

[Amelia]

Delivers late. That's why I like them. You can get a burger delivered until like 1am or something, which is not a common thing.

[Mitch]

I'm thinking of the wrong. I'm thinking of. Is it Amboy? Like.

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh, yeah, I've never.

[Mitch]

I've never been to Amboy.

[Tiger Weiger]

I have the Egg Slut chef's restaurant.

[Mitch]

Yes.

[Julian Stern]

That's the other restaurant that I had never heard about. And then my friends took me. Henry and Ryan. Ryan the gatekeeper. And they took me to a. They took me to a Dodgers game. But, like, they had me walk through. Like, we went through the Metro. We went over through Chinatown. They took me to Amboy. I can't believe I. I have never. I had never had that. That was the first time. Two years ago. That was the first time I ever had that in my entire life. It was insane. It was eye opening.

[Mitch]

I got to try it.

[Julian Stern]

Everything. It's like everything on the west side is so. It's Pretty sanitized. It kind of sucks. All we got was in and out at McDonald's.

[Tiger Weiger]

I mean, I've lived on the west side my entire time. I've been in at. At In L. A. And partly because my. My work is there and Natalie's work is there. My work was there originally, but I went to ucla, which is on the west side. And there's some really great food on the west side, but it's. The working class options keep getting gentrified out of existence. And it's a. It's a real bummer because there used to be places you could get like some. A good cheap meal and they will

[Mitch]

still have like, some amazing. They'll have some amazing. They'll have like five. The best restaurants.

[Tiger Weiger]

No, they have some amazing restaurants there. There's some. Some great food in Santa Monica and West la.

[Mitch]

The Bruins go Trojans, baby.

[Tiger Weiger]

That's what I'm talking about, Mitch. You know how much I care about my alma mater. Oh, no.

[Mitch]

The.

[Tiger Weiger]

He's hitting with the Elmitch.

[Julian Stern]

I'm sorry. That was lame. That was Wayne.

[Amelia]

I'm sorry.

[Mitch]

My character, my dumb character in Twisted Metal did this and I. And I generally was like, which way it is go? And that. I was playing dumb. But here you go. You got hit with the L, dude. You got. You got stamped with the link so hard. I heard.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, that sounded painful.

[Mitch]

Fine. The thing is, I forgot. I forgot what your.

[Amelia]

That's good. That's good.

[Mitch]

I forgot what your impression was.

[Julian Stern]

I was really cool up until he just said. He stated the obvious, that I was giving him the L. And now I don't feel cool anymore.

[Mitch]

It was cool.

[Julian Stern]

It was.

[Mitch]

Julian. You are, by the way, Julian. You guys are. So you guys have a lot of similarities that we'll get into here in a second. But I want to say. But besides. Besides the Colombo impression while you were out of the room. Wags maybe getting chastised for something.

[Tiger Weiger]

Everything's going great at Head Gum when

[Mitch]

you were out of the room.

[Tiger Weiger]

What's going on out there? Is it the kitchen at Cheesecake Factory? People are just bustling everywhere. Can't believe how many bodies are flying around

[Mitch]

while you were out of the room.

[Tiger Weiger]

We need a new episode of Facts release, dad.

[Amelia]

It's happening next door.

[Julian Stern]

How are you guys still on the air?

[Amelia]

I ask myself that every week, man. Also, is it the Reddit's fault? Maybe.

[Mitch]

Yeah. Guys, can't we tell you anything? Don't talk about this stuff. Zip it up or have a code word from here on Out. The code word for a headgum is. It's. What is the Star wars character's name? Glup. Shitto. Glup shitto is now your co word for head gum. You say clup. Shitto.

[Amelia]

Can you spell that for me? I'm gonna get in the Reddit real quick.

[Mitch]

G, L, U, P, P, S, H, I, T, T, O. Just one O.

[Tiger Weiger]

Were you thinking. Were you thinking you? Because I was thinking E, but you're thinking glup.

[Julian Stern]

I don't know the. The. The meme too well, but I think it is glep Shit. Oh, no.

[Mitch]

Oh, it's a guy.

[Amelia]

It's a real person.

[Mitch]

We didn't know that.

[Julian Stern]

No, it's. It's. It's. It's a meme. It's like. Oh, it's a meme. It's a stupid meme that I brought onto your show. You're welcome.

[Tiger Weiger]

I love it. I love knowing this with a U. Glop.

[Julian Stern]

I don't know the shit with two T's.

[Tiger Weiger]

It can still be code for head.

[Mitch]

Hey, I almost spelled it right.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah, you did spell it right.

[Tiger Weiger]

The fact that it's a meme, I think actually helps it because it makes it even more opaque.

[Mitch]

Okay. That's what it helps. The Star Wars.

[Tiger Weiger]

No, it helps the. The head subterfuge.

[Mitch]

Okay, okay. Okay.

[Amelia]

Really funny in a meeting when they're like, all of your fans are talking about headgum via Glup shito.

[Julian Stern]

I thought you could.

[Mitch]

They only hate. The only thing they hate as much as headgum is glup shito. We're all laughing. We gotta get a new why won't you date me out on the Wire? I don't even know what that would be. Another. A good podcast that is. That exists. Here it is. We love Nicole. Yeah, I want to say this too, super producer Mars. We love Mars. We love a lot of people here. Careful, Amelia.

[Tiger Weiger]

I love you, Mitch.

[Mitch]

I love you too, wise Julian. I love you too. If he says it, he doesn't know you that well.

[Tiger Weiger]

I was there today, but you seem like a lovely man. It feels a little forward to say I love you to you.

[Julian Stern]

I'll take it. Okay.

[Tiger Weiger]

I love you, Julian.

[Julian Stern]

I love you too. And I love you. And I love you. And you. And I especially love you.

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh, yeah, we all love her. No one's more lovable.

[Mitch]

She did her. Amelia did her Columbo impression. But while you were getting yelled at, we brought up Michael Jackson. I talked about how it seems like a movie that was made in an alternate universe, only just nice to the movie. Don't worry. And then Amelia got up and did a Michael Jackson impression in front of me and Julian unprompted.

[Julian Stern]

That was great.

[Mitch]

That was awesome.

[Tiger Weiger]

Wait, I mean, now this is another thing.

[Mitch]

I mean it was insane. But go ahead, do it again.

[Amelia]

Should I do it there?

[Mitch]

You should do the exact same thing.

[Tiger Weiger]

Do what you did.

[Amelia]

All right, hold on. How do I get this on camera? It's not good.

[Tiger Weiger]

I will be the.

[Mitch]

But just say we're just. Just think about me and. Me and Julian are just talking about Michael Jackson the movie and then. Or Michael and then all of a sudden she just comes up and does this out of nowhere.

[Tiger Weiger]

Okay, great. Wow, that was really good and fucking rocked. That was really, really impressive.

[Mitch]

And so we're talking looked over and she did that fucking shit.

[Amelia]

And then Mitch said he was scared.

[Mitch]

What the fuck are you doing?

[Tiger Weiger]

I think you should combine the two talents to do and figure out a Columbo Jackson angle.

[Mitch]

That's pretty fucking good.

[Tiger Weiger]

Such a good idea.

[Mitch]

What's going on here?

[Amelia]

And.

[Mitch]

And just one more question.

[Amelia]

That's good.

[Mitch]

You're on a weird one today. We were walking by. We were walking by the LA flea market and she covered up the fleas and said, don't look, Jimmy. That was another thing that happened.

[Tiger Weiger]

That was really fun.

[Mitch]

That was good. It was a good moment.

[Julian Stern]

Thanks, guys.

[Tiger Weiger]

Mitch mentioned our similarities. You are. You also are a PC gamer.

[Julian Stern]

Hell yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, let's.

[Julian Stern]

You're.

[Tiger Weiger]

You definitely alpha be with your rig because I got a 4070 Ti. Super. But you were. You were up with a 50 series.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah, like 5070 Ti.

[Tiger Weiger]

Wow.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah. And I've got like 32 gigs of RAM. I can't get any more because it's too expensive. Well, I could get more, but I don't want to waste ram.

[Tiger Weiger]

RAM is at a premium right now. It is the, it's. It's the AI. The fucking data centers are ruining everything. Even people who are enthusiasts, like PC users like, okay, now our hardware is more expensive.

[Mitch]

I thought RAM prices were gonna come down. That's why I voted for him in the first place.

[Tiger Weiger]

I know. Sorry, Mitch.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah, Sucks.

[Mitch]

I know.

[Julian Stern]

Sucks.

[Mitch]

It sucks.

[Julian Stern]

It sucks.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, it sucks.

[Julian Stern]

Sucks.

[Tiger Weiger]

Mitch is a single issue voter. RAM prices.

[Mitch]

If you want to win me over in the next election, get the RAM prices down. You're gonna. I'm vote. My vote's going to whoever gets the RAM prices.

[Tiger Weiger]

We're gonna lower the RAM prices.

[Mitch]

They're gonna be lower than ever.

[Tiger Weiger]

He's running a third time. Sorry.

[Mitch]

Yeah, he is running a fourth time.

[Amelia]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

I, you know, is. Is there a thing with RAM prices that it's like. Like you were saying, data centers. But remember there was. Like that. Remember that there was car chips and cars is like, what's. What's happening right now. My understand is an unobtainium situation right now.

[Tiger Weiger]

It's kind of like Unobtainium.

[Mitch]

Okay. You know what I'm telling me? It's from Avatar. It's the.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

It's the precious resource.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah. I think it's kind of before they realize that the, you know, the Tulkun have a resource even more valuable.

[Mitch]

That's right. Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

But it involves harvesting these noble creatures.

[Mitch]

Their oil glands are right.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yes. It stops all human aging. Yeah.

[Mitch]

Anyway, would you take the Tulkun, or would you be like, I can't take

[Tiger Weiger]

the Tolkun oil and stop all human aging?

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

I wish I had some of that.

[Mitch]

Is that Trump?

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh, yes.

[Julian Stern]

Trump. That was a really good Trump.

[Mitch]

That was really, really good Trump. I thought that they were getting more into that in the third one. Maybe that's one of the things, like, I thought it would be like we'd see a little bit more about that.

[Tiger Weiger]

The third one's a little scattershot, but it does have Varong, and that's all I need. The Ashnavi.

[Julian Stern]

The third one was just a repeat of the second one.

[Tiger Weiger]

That was kind of part of the issue.

[Mitch]

That was kind of a problem.

[Tiger Weiger]

The sea battle was a little bit fun, though. But I had fun, and I love Varong. Una Chaplin, one of the great villainesses in cinema.

[Mitch]

She was. She. We loved Una. Are you not a. Are you not an Avatar fan?

[Julian Stern]

Oh, no. Oh, no. I'm a huge. I love Avatar. The thing is that my friend and I. Ryan, again, just Ryan. We did everything together. We were roommates.

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh, he was a roommate.

[Julian Stern]

Okay. Yeah, he was a roommate. He was a roommate and at usc. Fight on.

[Mitch]

Fight on. Why don't you say your slogan?

[Julian Stern]

Yeah, say your slogan. Say it.

[Tiger Weiger]

There's trouble brewing.

[Mitch]

There's trouble brewing because we're the Bruins. Is that. That's not what it is.

[Tiger Weiger]

I don't know.

[Julian Stern]

I don't know.

[Tiger Weiger]

Do we have a slogan?

[Mitch]

Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure you do.

[Tiger Weiger]

Let's see if we have it. There's a UCLA slogan.

[Julian Stern]

I kind of like this. Trouble Bruin.

[Amelia]

Let there be light. That's the motto is Let there be light.

[Tiger Weiger]

Let there be light. It's a Christian slogan.

[Mitch]

Let There Be Light.

[Tiger Weiger]

It's a public Christian.

[Amelia]

No. Let whoever earns the palm bear it.

[Julian Stern]

What the.

[Mitch]

That's wild.

[Amelia]

Usc. Oh, that's.

[Tiger Weiger]

No, we're looking for ucla.

[Mitch]

Ucla. And also, it's. It's Fight On. Is there there?

[Julian Stern]

We have the best catchphrase.

[Mitch]

What? Wait, what's that?

[Julian Stern]

Wait, no. Fight On. We have.

[Mitch]

That's cool as hell.

[Julian Stern]

Wait, is that a catchphrase? What?

[Mitch]

Go Bombers. I don't know if it was just Go Bombers or if that's just. No one cared.

[Amelia]

What do we.

[Julian Stern]

I like. There's trouble brewing.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah. All right, well, maybe. Maybe we can canonize a new one.

[Mitch]

There's Trouble Brewing.

[Tiger Weiger]

I wrote. I wrote the lyrics for a new theme song for my elementary school. I like. There was, like, a contest to write the new school song, and I won in fifth grade, and I have no idea if it ever became canon, but they were like. They were like. We like this one.

[Julian Stern]

There you go.

[Mitch]

I like that. The idea that they're still singing this Wagyu song in your elementary school, that's great.

[Julian Stern]

I hope.

[Mitch]

I hope they did. I hope they. Or do you think it's a thing of, like, you left and they're all right, time to switch?

[Tiger Weiger]

I don't. I doubt it ever got implemented.

[Mitch]

Sure.

[Tiger Weiger]

Because the logistics of teaching a bunch of kids a bespoke song seems impossible.

[Mitch]

What were the lyrics to it? I have a Crush on the Pink Ranger or something like that. All right, well, you probably did.

[Tiger Weiger]

I was a Yellow Ranger guy, okay? Hey, I'm not gonna rest in peace, Trini.

[Mitch]

I loved all the Rangers. The Power Rangers.

[Julian Stern]

I know you got.

[Mitch]

I thought that that was maybe an old reference. Now I've gotten that. That is just.

[Tiger Weiger]

Power Rangers Are Evergreen a forever Property. A forever ip, if you will. Yeah, I believe it was. It was. It was. Look at us. Look at us. Look at us. Riley School. Look at us. Look at us. Riley School. Look at us. Pretty good.

[Mitch]

I mean, it's not bad. I prefer to. There's trouble brewing. Actually, trouble brewing is pretty good, too.

[Tiger Weiger]

Look, here's the thing. I'm a writer for a reason. You're a writer? I'm just kidding.

[Julian Stern]

I'm sorry. I said, I'm just kidding.

[Mitch]

Now you were talking. Okay, you were talking. Usc.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yes.

[Mitch]

You met your lovely partner there. Oh, yes.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, yeah. My girlfriend.

[Mitch]

Your girlfriend? Yes. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Julian Stern]

Well, actually, she went to the same school. We never ran into each other.

[Tiger Weiger]

This was a circuitous route. I actually have a similar history with my wife, my lovely wife. Because we went to the same high school, but we did not. We're not friends. Did not date, and then reconnected years later.

[Mitch]

Did you not know this? You didn't know this bit of lore?

[Amelia]

Wow. That's the first I'm hearing of this.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, no, yeah, we have. We have a. We have a shared history, shared group of friends. They're. They're like mutual friends that we were both. But we just. The two of us never really directly interacted.

[Mitch]

She never would have dated your dork ass in high school. Not a chance.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, it's probably. It's possibly true. Yeah, probably true. I don't know.

[Mitch]

But you found your way to each other. And you guys, you have that in common as well.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah.

[Julian Stern]

Hell, yeah.

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

But yours was. You were telling us the story. I'm not sure you want to recall it here, but it was kind of like. It was basically. I mean, you can tell your version of it.

[Julian Stern]

Well, basically, we went to USC together, but she was in animation, I was in production, and we never ran into each other, even though we're, like, on the same campus. And if you've ever been to USC's School of Cinematic Arts, it's a pretty small area of the campus. But we graduated. It was during the Pandemic. I graduated one year before. Before her in 2021. And, you know, you graduated from film school. It's like, cool, let's start making movies. But we can't. Cause everyone is afraid of getting sick. So make an animation. And so I made an animation. I hired some animators, all from usc, and it turns out one of them was Teagan, but I didn't know because we're using Discord, and she had a different username, Tiggy. And so I go back, I'm on Hinge, and then I find this person named Teagan, and she's absolutely lovely. She loves Helldivers, and I love Helldivers. So it'.

[Mitch]

And you love Helldivers.

[Tiger Weiger]

I do like Helldivers.

[Amelia]

You like Helldivers? Yeah.

[Julian Stern]

We should all have a date.

[Tiger Weiger]

Natalie, just RSVP no.

[Mitch]

How come it's your date?

[Julian Stern]

Okay.

[Amelia]

Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

Mitchie Mitch should come. Have you played Helldivers 2?

[Mitch]

No.

[Tiger Weiger]

I think you'd like it. It's fun.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, it's a lot of fun. Yeah.

[Mitch]

Yeah. Gabris loves it, doesn't he?

[Tiger Weiger]

Gabris does life it. Yeah, it's okay. It's a really, really well designed game. But. Sorry, finish your ad.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, no. Yeah, yeah. But basically, we met on Hinge, and when we met on Hinge. I was like, oh, this person's really cool. She's really, really, really. I love her a lot. I mean, I didn't say I love her a lot when I first just been like, whoa. But I was just like, no, she's really cool.

[Mitch]

Oh.

[Julian Stern]

I actually remember I have a shot that I have to give to one of my animators. Oh, what was their name? Oh, yeah. Tiggy. What are the odds that Tiggy is just a nickname for Tegan? And I went onto their profile, and there's no picture of her, by the way. It's like a cartoon character. Cause every animator has, like, a cartoon character as, like, their profile picture.

[Mitch]

Their avatar.

[Julian Stern]

Their avatar, Exactly. Yeah. And then. Was that a reference to Avatar the movie?

[Mitch]

No, no. But I thought it was fun. I thought it was a fun connection.

[Julian Stern]

No, it's cool. It's cool.

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Julian Stern]

Anyway, so then we. We. I. I kind of have to. I kind of came to the realization that, like, oh, I'm dating someone that I've hired to animate my film. And I don't know if they know, but we're going to get coffee in a week, and I don't know if I should, like, let them know beforehand or if I should just wait and see what happens. So I waited and see what happens. And it was lovely. Our first date at this coffee shop, it was Jones on third. And it lasted for, you know, Jones,

[Mitch]

of course, it's great.

[Julian Stern]

And it lasted for three hours and an hour and a half. The way through, I was like, hey, so I think we actually worked on a project together. And she's like, yeah. And I'm like, how long did it take you to figure it out? And she's like, I figured out a week ago. And I was like, yeah, I figured out, like, four days ago. And she didn't know either, so it was kind of cool.

[Mitch]

That's sweet as hell.

[Tiger Weiger]

Also, that we both had the same dilemma of, like, when do I disclose this? And that's.

[Mitch]

That's why I made the joke about dating employees. Get off my back. Oh, no, that's. I'm saying that was a part of the joke. I'm yelling at our. Our listeners and viewers right now.

[Julian Stern]

I get you. I get you.

[Mitch]

You know, you. I. I got something to tell you. This guy, Chris Iredell, who I knew from Quincy Wags, but he's at usc and he's in a gr. He's. He's. He's in grad school.

[Tiger Weiger]

Ir. Do you.

[Mitch]

I like it. And he. And he's He. I think he's in grad school for.

[Tiger Weiger]

You said I like it because I just said his name.

[Mitch]

Iredale. I thought you were saying.

[Tiger Weiger]

I thought you said I or doe.

[Mitch]

I was like, no, you've done too many records. This where you're hearing dough left and right, my man. Yeah, we gotta get you. We gotta put you down, right? I don't mean to sleep. I mean, just. We gotta get you. We gotta get you gotta. You need some time off.

[Tiger Weiger]

You know what? Let me. Let me run to the bathroom real quick. I'll be right back, okay? Hey, sorry, everyone. Can you keep it down in here? I know everyone's busy, but please, please keep it down. I go to the restroom real quick. Thanks so much.

[Julian Stern]

It's loud out there.

[Mitch]

Emma. Can you add crowd noise?

[Amelia]

Yeah, okay. I'll have to, like, go to a stadium or something.

[Tiger Weiger]

Hey, buddy, you want to hear about my latest obsession? I'm talking about Mars Men. No, I don't mean space aliens. I'm talking about something very different. Did you hit a wall in your mid-30s? You're doing the same workouts, eating the same diet, but you feel like you're moving through mud. Nobody tells you about this stuff. One day you're crushing it, next day you're wondering why everything feels twice as hard. Because here's the thing, most men start losing testosterone about age 30, about 1% every year after that.

[Mitch]

Wow.

[Tiger Weiger]

That's why we love Mars Men. Here's what I learned. Your body makes testosterone, but a lot of it gets locked up and can't be used. There's this protein called SHBG that basically handcuffs your testosterone. Even if your body's making testosterone, SHBG locks it up so you can't access it. It's like having money in the bank, but your debit card doesn't work. Mars Men is designed to help free lock testosterone so your body can actually use it. No synthetics, no needles. Just real ingredients that help optimize energy, focus and strength. We're talking about stronger physical performance. And, hey, helping out your recovery in gym. And as you know, you get older, that recovery gets harder and harder. But going to the gym gets more and more essential, more consistent, natural energy. Another thing that dips with age. Your energy, like your testosterone, help that out. With Mars Men, it's not like drinking a cup of coffee. It's a steadier sense of drive throughout the day. Supports healthy T levels, energy and stamina. Eight natural, clinically dosed ingredients. Tongkat Ali Shilajit. Vitamin D, zinc Boron and more. Made in the USA and third party tested 90 day money back guarantee so there's no risk. Worst case, you don't absolutely love it and you get your money back. But over 91% of users report higher energy levels. Thousands of guys are feeling incredible results. Just check out the reviews on the website to see for yourself.

[Tiger Weiger]

The bustle was just crazy. I felt a gust of wind come in.

[Mitch]

We're adding in and in post. So Chris Iredale, who a connection through Quincy. He's at USC and he's doing his grad school down there.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, Chris Iroh.

[Mitch]

And he. And he's. He's making a video game called Lucky Duckies and he had.

[Tiger Weiger]

Wow, that's so cool.

[Mitch]

It's going to be on and he's. It's going to be on Steam and I did some voices for it. So I just want to give a plug.

[Tiger Weiger]

People wishlist it now, is it?

[Mitch]

Oh, I guess. Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

Probably see if it's on the Steam store because if people can wishlist that that's a great way for a game to get featured.

[Mitch]

Yeah, I think it is. Hold on a second. It's like a fun. It's a. It was. It was a very fun cute game. Lucky Duckies. I think you can.

[Tiger Weiger]

Lucky Duckies wishlisted on Steam and is it in early access? Yeah.

[Mitch]

You can add to your wish list.

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh that's your wish list. There you go.

[Mitch]

All right, great.

[Tiger Weiger]

I'll do that myself.

[Mitch]

Yeah, I did some voices for us. But anyways.

[Julian Stern]

Awesome.

[Tiger Weiger]

You can do more video games.

[Mitch]

I would love to do a video game. I would love that. We got things. We got. Thanks.

[Tiger Weiger]

But a twisted metal game, I don't know.

[Mitch]

But you know what? It's sadly I'm out of there now. I wish. I wish that I would have. I would have been a blast. Diablo 3 thanked the Dobo gave us

[Tiger Weiger]

a little shout out one of the

[Mitch]

team members which is thank you guys for, for. For that shout out.

[Tiger Weiger]

Probably my best video gamer game credit. You were asking this for a decade.

[Mitch]

Well, let's say this. You guys have a lot. You have a lot in common. I was noticing on this. On this walk over there. Including video games. But I also am a gamer.

[Tiger Weiger]

I like to game and maybe I think Clark shoes. If those are Clarks. I do but I do like you

[Julian Stern]

would honestly know better than me. Viewers, tell me what is this?

[Mitch]

You know what? There is a guy who will tell us that on YouTube.

[Julian Stern]

Okay, great. It says Vince.

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh maybe they're not.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, it actually says Vince on the bottom.

[Tiger Weiger]

Okay, they might be Vinces.

[Julian Stern]

That's what they look nice.

[Tiger Weiger]

They look very.

[Mitch]

And they look like clocks. Hey, similar shoes.

[Tiger Weiger]

Similar shoes.

[Mitch]

But you guys are both gamers. What's. Here's a question for you. Your go to gaming snack. You got one a gaming snack.

[Tiger Weiger]

I can answer. And we got into this a little bit when we had. When we had Heather and Matt on.

[Mitch]

But yeah, gaming grub. We always talk gaming grub.

[Tiger Weiger]

I'm a big. Using chopsticks to get some sort of crunchy snack because then I'm not going to get worried about my mouse or my controller or my keyboard getting any schmutz on it. You know, like I can even eat Cheetos and it's no problem. So that's one. Definitely one move for me. But another thing I will do is I will just step away from the PC or step away from the PlayStation and just like eat a banana real quick, you know?

[Mitch]

What was that?

[Tiger Weiger]

Sorry. I don't know why I did that gesture.

[Julian Stern]

Can you do it again?

[Tiger Weiger]

I'll just get a force feed a banana.

[Julian Stern]

Whoa.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

I know this is not typical.

[Tiger Weiger]

Or like a piece of fruit. I'll just go like eat something real quick.

[Mitch]

Sure.

[Tiger Weiger]

Like over the trash can and then come back and keep playing.

[Amelia]

This is.

[Tiger Weiger]

This is.

[Mitch]

This is kind of like out of the norm.

[Tiger Weiger]

Doesn't make a mess of me.

[Mitch]

Over the trash.

[Amelia]

I love it. Yeah.

[Mitch]

I just. I'm just picturing your lovely wife seeing you gaming intensely, not talking to her. Then going over the trash and eating fruit and going back to the.

[Amelia]

Sitting at a table with a tablecloth.

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Amelia]

Like a silverware.

[Mitch]

Eating a proper meal with candle. The candle is down. It's like it's almost burnt out. A cold steak dinner by where Weger's spot is.

[Tiger Weiger]

Her yoga teacher shows up. Oh, hey, Javier. Enjoy your dinner.

[Mitch]

This is kind of. I know this is not unusual, but when I'm gaming, I usually do a French dip sandwich. That's usually what I got to.

[Tiger Weiger]

It's pretty good.

[Julian Stern]

That's a good one.

[Tiger Weiger]

An la original.

[Julian Stern]

I was about to say. Yeah, I. That. The French dip sandwich. That's like in downtown. Right.

[Mitch]

Oh, I love the French dips.

[Tiger Weiger]

Philippe's and Coles.

[Julian Stern]

Those are great.

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Julian Stern]

I like.

[Tiger Weiger]

Kohl's is closed. Right. Is that for perfectly shuttered now? It's a bummer because Coles was kind of like not exactly a Crawford's, but kind of an atmosphere. Was like. It was a bar that had the French dips and that was a really fun vibe. You get a craft cocktail.

[Mitch]

I love. I'm so sad.

[Tiger Weiger]

That was like a sandwich from the 1920s.

[Mitch]

But your wax.

[Tiger Weiger]

I know what a bummer.

[Mitch]

Gummies usually I do. For real. I don't really do. I don't really do French dip sandwiches. I do gummies. I'll do something like that. Something that like doesn't get. That doesn't have to get on your fingers. You can get a little sticky fingers from gummies, but not normal. You're fine.

[Amelia]

Fine.

[Tiger Weiger]

This I don't want. I don't want to break too much cheese here. I may be turning a corner on gummy. I know I've said the gummy ain't yummy.

[Amelia]

You have been enjoying the gummies. We've tasted.

[Tiger Weiger]

I've been enjoying some. Some gummies recently. So maybe, you know, maybe my pallet is adjusting. I don't know. I'm not saying we should do a Patreon episode fully about gummies to see exactly where I stand, but I'm saying it's a thing I'd be open to.

[Mitch]

Wait, wise. You just started GLP1s. Are you sure you're not taking Gummy Liker Person Dash 1?

[Tiger Weiger]

Fuck.

[Amelia]

Gummy lover.

[Mitch]

Gummy lover person.

[Tiger Weiger]

I did.

[Mitch]

You just started. You just started the GLP one.

[Tiger Weiger]

No, I did get my subscription through gummytummy.net so that's probably. They probably are gummy lover person ones. The number one gummy lover person.

[Mitch]

Not bad for some improv folks. Gummy liker person. I should have been gummy lover. Thank you for the punch up. Are you. Are you. Are you an improviser as well, or you're an actor?

[Julian Stern]

I've done some Groundlings. I've done some Groundlings. Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh, there you go.

[Julian Stern]

Okay.

[Tiger Weiger]

That's the. That's the. That's the good one. We did UCB.

[Julian Stern]

No, UCB's good too. I know a lot of friends have done ucb.

[Mitch]

Yeah, a lot of very talented ucb. I went over to ground. I went to Groundlings very late. Me and Hanford went over there and we were gonna like. And, you know, at the time, we should have. There are more people. A lot of people.

[Amelia]

The night shift is coming in.

[Mitch]

The. The horn just went out. The whistle. The whistle just blew.

[Amelia]

Yeah, the mines.

[Mitch]

And then. Yeah, there's. Yeah, there's the night. The night shift is coming in.

[Tiger Weiger]

Whole new staff coming in with the hard hats and lunch boxes. Thanks for your service, guys. They keep this whole thing running.

[Mitch]

Yep. This guy is an actor. That was pretty good.

[Julian Stern]

Well, he was waving at me.

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Julian Stern]

Did you look, like, not ironically.

[Mitch]

Yeah, I looked.

[Tiger Weiger]

I was acting.

[Julian Stern]

Right, of course. Because there was a guy out there.

[Mitch]

Well, we've been seeing stuff too. We won't get into it.

[Julian Stern]

It's your fourth day of, like, podcasting straight through. I don't know how the hell you guys are, like, still awake.

[Mitch]

Our brains are. Our brains are not working.

[Tiger Weiger]

I think the quality of the episode is a reflection of that.

[Amelia]

You can't tell.

[Julian Stern]

I like the loopy episode.

[Tiger Weiger]

We're having fun.

[Mitch]

The loopy episodes are fun. So. All right, so. So you've done some stuff at Groundlings. You're a gamer. What, you guys get a bond on gaming here?

[Tiger Weiger]

Well, so here's the thing. We Were. We were having some discussion and Helldivers 2, a game I, A game I really enjoy, I ultimately bounced off of. But I had a great time when I was playing it.

[Amelia]

The.

[Tiger Weiger]

I'm more of a single player guy. For me, like, gaming is like reading. It's kind of a solitary experience. And so like, I like games like, you know, Elden Ring, like Baldur's Gate 3, you know, like Mitch back in the day, like the, like, you know, Zelda Ocarina Time, these like meaty single player adventures. Super Metroid and, and so. And also like, like, I like platformers in particular.

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

I, I, I love like a, a, a classic platformer, like a, like a Super Mario Galaxy mold. But I also like, like a. What's going on? Did she text you a joke? Okay. But I also like, like a precision platformer, like a, like a Super Meat Boy or a Celeste. So that's my stuff. That, that, those are my tastes.

[Mitch]

All right.

[Tiger Weiger]

Julian.

[Mitch]

Yeah, we were. And I was, I was. Yeah, of course. He's a solo gamer. I just got to get this out quickly.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

Some material to discuss. Colon. Glup Shito has GLP in it.

[Tiger Weiger]

That's a great observation.

[Amelia]

Thank you.

[Tiger Weiger]

The Glup and Glup Shito is glp.

[Amelia]

Glub.

[Tiger Weiger]

Glup Shitto.

[Mitch]

Glup Shito.

[Tiger Weiger]

Wow.

[Amelia]

So glp, that's our Glup Shito.

[Tiger Weiger]

GLP Shito is a different. It's an original creation.

[Mitch]

She's. She's hiding her head. I loved it.

[Amelia]

Okay, good. It's good. It's good.

[Tiger Weiger]

Just one more question. You said you were on GLP1s. Is this related to this Glup Shitto.

[Mitch]

So Columbo is in this Star wars spin off.

[Julian Stern]

Yes. That's what it's been missing the whole time.

[Tiger Weiger]

It's like how Andor is really a prestige British espionage drama, but with the Star wars rapping is this.

[Mitch]

People got mad at me that I haven't watched Andor I'm going to watch it.

[Julian Stern]

I haven't watched it yet either.

[Tiger Weiger]

I really enjoyed it.

[Mitch]

Hey, maybe that will turn us on on that shitty little Grogu.

[Tiger Weiger]

Well, Grogu's not Nandor.

[Mitch]

I know. I'm just saying maybe our, our hearts will grow and we'll like Grogo.

[Tiger Weiger]

I think, I think if anything, Andor will make you more frustrated at what the Mandalorian is. I. Yeah, because, because its quality level is. Yeah, it's just like, it's like just really well made science fiction television.

[Julian Stern]

I've just heard it's like a masterpiece of a miniseries.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, I really enjoyed it. I mean, it's, it's really impressive. I don't think you need to like Star wars to like it.

[Mitch]

So you're a multiplayer guy. I am also. Likewise. I made fun of you for being a single player guy, but I too am a single player person.

[Tiger Weiger]

You just finished Resident Evil Requiem recently.

[Mitch]

I did. I loved it.

[Julian Stern]

Nice. We streamed that.

[Mitch]

It was fun. Oh, did you? Yeah. You stream games?

[Julian Stern]

Yeah, yeah, we stream games. Me and my girlfriend, we stream on Twitch. It's a lot of fun. Wow.

[Mitch]

I love it. Yeah, check them out.

[Julian Stern]

Goblin Girlfriend. We'll just plug it in the end. It doesn't matter. Okay, great. Yes.

[Mitch]

But you're always doing multiplayer games. More so.

[Julian Stern]

Usually I'm playing multiplayer games because ever since the pandemic, my friends, Luke Griffin, that I've known since high school, we spent days on Apex Legends when it first came out. Dear God. For anyone out there who's thinking about trying apex, don't just do something else with your life. For the love of God, do anything else.

[Mitch]

This is my issue with gaming. He talks about Baldur's Gate and how much time it took up of his life.

[Tiger Weiger]

Time well spent.

[Julian Stern]

But the thing is, with Baldur's Gate, you can accomplish something. In Apex Legends, you get curb stomped every time you load up the game.

[Mitch]

Is it just people are that good?

[Julian Stern]

Like is because there are people who literally don't leave their house and they're there and they're just, they're not, they don't do anything but play the game.

[Tiger Weiger]

See, this sounds like the skill based mass matchmaking is a little bit broken.

[Julian Stern]

It's okay. Okay.

[Mitch]

As a boy, the idea of like, like as a little kid, when I had Nintendo 64, Nick and I, I think both bought Nintendo 64 the week it came out.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, well, I, I, I, I may not have been the week of, because I was like searching around trying to find one, but I, I got one very early on.

[Mitch]

But the idea of, like, oh man, I could like play Mario Kart 64 against like my friend at their house.

[Tiger Weiger]

Right.

[Mitch]

Like, that idea is so fun to me. And now in, in when you actually, when you see it, actually when you see it come to fruition, you're like, I don't, I, I personally don't like it anymore. I just get myself just, I get destroyed. I'm not good enough. I'm not a good enough gamer. I'm now 40 years old. Yes. And if I play Mario Kart online, I'm like this just. I'm not having fun.

[Tiger Weiger]

I have bad aim. I have like a tremor. And so like, it's not like, like I'm not even with a, with a mouse. I'm not like super precise. And then also, and also I'm just like, the games I like to play are usually more tactical anyway, a little bit more methodical. And so, I don't know, I like playing like Hearthstone Online. I was having fun with that, but. But that's like a single player card game. You know what I mean? Like, like these team based ones I think feel like are all things like Fortnite, where it's just you get a squad together and you got to coordinate and everything. It's just not really my, my thing. But I do like chatting with everybody. It's fun to chop it up.

[Julian Stern]

It's fun chatting with people on an online game.

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh, yeah, I'll chop it up with everyone.

[Mitch]

I'm with Julia here.

[Julian Stern]

Wait, hold on. What is your experience? You're telling me your experience has been positive?

[Tiger Weiger]

I would say whatever my experience is, it ends up being positive because I find I just sort of like roll with it.

[Julian Stern]

No one's ever called you a slur?

[Tiger Weiger]

No. Oh, I absolutely have. But then I just. Yes. And

[Julian Stern]

you know what?

[Mitch]

That's. We're. We're improv guys.

[Julian Stern]

That's actually a great. I don't know why. I don't. That's actually a great attitude to have.

[Tiger Weiger]

I would like. I remember specifically once I was playing maybe Team Fortress Online and I was just like. I was like. It was some game. It was an FPS. It was a team up he has. And I was. I was crouching a bunch and this guy was getting frustrated with me and he typed, are you trying to suck my dick? Slur? And I just replied, yes. He's like, what the. And I was just like, I want to suck you. I want to suck you off, you know? No, people are disarmed by that.

[Mitch]

So now I get why you're like,

[Julian Stern]

I get it now, actually. This guy, this guy, he gets it. He gets it.

[Mitch]

He gets it.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah. But I. Here's the thing.

[Tiger Weiger]

But yes, people are assholes. And I don't, I don't like being. I don't like all the bad manner stuff that happens.

[Julian Stern]

It's okay. One time I was playing Overwatch and someone threatened to dox me because I was doing so bad that, that it's like.

[Mitch]

And it's just too chaotic. That's that I like, like, you were Mentioned land parties. That seems fun.

[Tiger Weiger]

I will also say, like, I've had things like when I was trying to learn to play MOBAs, and I was just like, that's, that's a notoriously competitive genre and it's team based and if you're fudgeing things up, you're fuck up for the whole team. So I had times when people were like, what are you doing? I was like, ah, man, this is making me feel dumb.

[Julian Stern]

There's actually like a photo that my friends photoshopped of me and it's over thumbnail that said the only Nazi Hitler was afraid of. And it's just my name, Julian Stern. Worse than Hitler. Whenever I up, a man just put, that's, that's extreme.

[Mitch]

That's over the top.

[Tiger Weiger]

I like it.

[Julian Stern]

It's insane. But the thing is, is that I actually, I, I also loved during, like, during the pandemic when I was doing nothing. I was playing the shit out of Dark Souls and Elden Ring.

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh, yeah.

[Julian Stern]

I replayed Bloodborne and I got into Mario Odyssey. It was great. Those games are just fun.

[Tiger Weiger]

Bloodborne is the one fromsoft game I never played, partly because it's stuck on, it's stuck on PS4. I, I should just, I should just play it on my PS5 and just finally do it. But I, I, I did play Sekiro. I love Sakura. And that was like one of the most satisfying games to finish because it's just so, so challenging.

[Mitch]

Here's one thing that Julian, you didn't agree with us on what we were talking. We were talking Neapolitan pizza. Oh, yeah, Pete. Because, Pete, we walked by Pizzana.

[Tiger Weiger]

I'm not talking it. I'm just not particularly enthused by Neapolitan. Amelia, you're, you're Italian. Neapolitan beats. What do you think?

[Amelia]

I don't know.

[Mitch]

I just think it's such a specific style. I like a New York style pizza better.

[Amelia]

Thin. Neapolitan's like super, super thin. Like wood fired pizza.

[Mitch]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

So, Amelia, your opinion is you don't know what it is.

[Amelia]

I like this type of pizza.

[Tiger Weiger]

Okay.

[Mitch]

All right, I. You know what? I'm gonna start asking before your Italian credentials because you thought chicken Marcella was an Indian dish yesterday. And that.

[Amelia]

And also. Well, when I think Neapolitan, I think of the ice cream.

[Mitch]

Sure, me too.

[Tiger Weiger]

And I said, I do like the strawberry. Vanilla.

[Mitch]

Don't love the ice cream.

[Julian Stern]

Try Neapolitan ice cream. But the Neapolitan pizza, it's great. There's so much flavor. And yeah, the dough, it's very thin. You're not going to like, somewhere like Domino's? I haven't, I don't. The last time. I don't know. I've been there. I've been there forever. But it's like there's just so much, there's just so much dough and there's like, sometimes it's like, you know, I'm getting more dough than cheese or tomato sauce. Neopolitan, they balance it out.

[Mitch]

Now, this plays into today, of course, but.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, yeah.

[Mitch]

Well, let's, let's talk about. Are you, are you a big. It seems like you at least are thinking about when to eat healthy. Healthy. You were, you were trying to be good today. We went to, we, we did a healthy chain today.

[Tiger Weiger]

This was a part of the calculus. We went to Movita Juice Bar. It was founded in 2015 by Raul Rodriguez and Jorge Campos. There are currently 20 locations, I'm sorry, 29 locations in California and 19 locations in Arizona, Nevada, Florida and Texas. So, you know, this is a, this is something of a regional chain in the west, in American Southwest. Movita means more life.

[Mitch]

Life.

[Tiger Weiger]

So there you go. And apparently this part of the way this comes from is a. One of the founder's children had a, had had a, a childhood cancer diagnosis so led to them eating healthier habits. And that child is now a cancer survivor. It's a nice story, but it's, it's a, it's one of these up and coming juice chains that I'd never had before. And there's a bunch of juice chains in this in the Southland. Like, that's just like a thing that's like omnipresent. There's so many people with their different, different, different takes on it. Also, if you're including like Boba places in that, in that calculus. Milk tea places. Like, there's so many like just specialty beverage places.

[Mitch]

But I not. Have I. Not only have I never been here, I've never even heard of it.

[Tiger Weiger]

Well, so there's a Movita right by us, which is where we walk to today.

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

And I always assumed it was just an individual location until Amelia investigated and said like, no, it's a chain. I was like, oh, well, we can cover it. And I, I mean, where, where were you on movita? Have you had it before?

[Julian Stern]

No, I don't think so. This is my first time there.

[Tiger Weiger]

Had you been like, where are you with juices and smoothies in general? You know what, Throw acai bowls in the mix.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah, of course. Oh, no. I mean, like. Well, here's the thing. One time, last time I think I ever had something like this, I was sick with COVID I keep bringing back Covid and Pandemic.

[Tiger Weiger]

Sorry.

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Julian Stern]

But anyways, last time I had that, someone ordered it for me, and I ate, and I had the smoothie, and I don't think I ate anything beforehand. I had the worst stomachache of my entire life. I couldn't do anything else. Else.

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Julian Stern]

Anything else. Did not have that experience with Movitas. Not today.

[Mitch]

Okay. By the way, that was Movitos. Is that how you say it?

[Tiger Weiger]

Movita.

[Julian Stern]

It was. But, like, let me tell you something.

[Tiger Weiger]

It was good.

[Julian Stern]

I thought it was really good. At least what I ordered, but I thought it was great.

[Tiger Weiger]

I went in there with no expectations. And I will first off say the servers were angels. Fantastic. There were two people working there. They were, like, completely, like, unfazed by our large order. Gigantic order stride. And they're just like, yeah, sure, our order. Cranking it out.

[Mitch]

Our order is $130.

[Tiger Weiger]

That's a lot of money to spend on juice.

[Mitch]

It's a lot of juice. And I'll say this. We did have a mystery. We had a mystery guest with us.

[Tiger Weiger]

There was a mystery guest who showed up and complicated things as we'll get to. We started with the. The ginger shot. We all had ginger shots. So there's was fun.

[Mitch]

We all did a shot.

[Tiger Weiger]

They give it to your proper shot glass. How fun is that?

[Julian Stern]

With the pineapple chaser.

[Tiger Weiger]

Pineapple chaser.

[Mitch]

The pineapple chaser was fun.

[Tiger Weiger]

I skipped, but I did spill.

[Mitch]

I saw this happening, but I.

[Tiger Weiger]

But I drank.

[Mitch]

You're tre. You're. I don't know, from gaming past. I don't know, like, guys get shakes from the war, and you got yours from Ganondorf, I guess. I don't know.

[Tiger Weiger]

What.

[Mitch]

I don't know where your shake came from.

[Tiger Weiger]

I think it's. It's Headgum. Ptsd. It's like a war zone out there. Bodies flying everywhere. Calm down. It's just a podcast network. They're treating it like life and death. God bless them for it.

[Mitch]

It. That's. So that's. Where your shake comes. We got to get. We got to. We. We might have to get you to a new studio at some point, Mitch.

[Tiger Weiger]

Sorry.

[Mitch]

Sorry.

[Tiger Weiger]

Don't even think about something like that. Don't you dare speak that into this world.

[Julian Stern]

Hey, Headgum. Julian here. I don't know.

[Mitch]

I jumped in today.

[Julian Stern]

I don't know what's happening. But like, if you ever need another podcast or anything, you know, not that anything's happening. I'm just saying, like, hi, I'm here. My name is Julian Stern. Actor, writer, director for Hire Doughboys with

[Mitch]

Julian Stern at Hegum takes off.

[Tiger Weiger]

He got the name Doughboys. I guess we sold him the name. Why do we do that?

[Mitch]

W.S. i first of all, I want to say this. I didn't say what I thought about Neapolitan pizza.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Mitch]

I think I like other kinds of pizza better. But I'm not complaining. I'm not complaining about it.

[Tiger Weiger]

I'm just having to get enthused or mystery.

[Mitch]

It's not my favorite type.

[Tiger Weiger]

Our mystery guest was kind of thumbs downing it.

[Julian Stern]

Can I just ask though, what's your guys favorite type of pizza? Like, what's the thing that you go for? Like, New York. New York style?

[Mitch]

Yeah, New York style.

[Tiger Weiger]

Like a New York style. Like, like for me, the, the honestly, the platonic ideal of a cheese pizza. I'm not just pandering to you, Mitch is is a slice from Regina Pizzeria in Boston. Just. Just a wonderful.

[Mitch]

Hey, I love you too.

[Tiger Weiger]

Perfect. Aw, buddy. I love you. Of course. Just did perfect with me. Julian. I love you.

[Julian Stern]

I love you too, Jemmy.

[Tiger Weiger]

I love you.

[Julian Stern]

I love you guys.

[Tiger Weiger]

Producers, you're doing a great job.

[Mitch]

I love the de and I love

[Tiger Weiger]

a. I love you. Amelia's leaving.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, the door is.

[Amelia]

I just have to go to the bathroom.

[Tiger Weiger]

Keep it close the door. It's so loud out there.

[Amelia]

There's no chance any of the microphones pick that up.

[Mitch]

I hope that you could kind of hear it.

[Julian Stern]

I'm going to the bed.

[Mitch]

New ball is not my favorite. But look, we're not. We're talking about juice.

[Amelia]

Juice.

[Mitch]

You were shaking the. Your. We're talking about.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mitch]

We. We've recorded. We've recorded four days this week. We ate. We ate yesterday. We ate the day before. We're not trying to reading healthy.

[Tiger Weiger]

We're eating clean today. It's nice to have that little bit of.

[Julian Stern]

Of.

[Tiger Weiger]

Of a respite from our usually rotten diets. And should we talk about the food? I mean, we did get some food from there. We got the avocado toast with sliced egg, the peanut butter toast, which has strawberries, bananas, a fruit puree drizzle and a strawberry, and then a. A almond butter toast, which is the same thing, just with a Nutella drizzle. I thought the. The almond butter toast was yummy. I like. I Had a nice time with it. And honestly, you know what?

[Mitch]

I think those were like. I think those were the highlights. The toasts were maybe the highlights.

[Julian Stern]

Right.

[Tiger Weiger]

I was like, I surprised. They were a little bit dainty.

[Mitch]

They were dainty.

[Tiger Weiger]

They were.

[Amelia]

They were.

[Tiger Weiger]

I almost felt like our plot was back there, you know, making the savory dishes, serving up a one quarter portion. That's kind of what I felt like when I was eating it.

[Mitch]

Back to work. Glop Sh. Plutt, our. One of our favorite characters.

[Tiger Weiger]

How do you feel about Unkar Plutt from us, Episode seven?

[Mitch]

He's the guy who says one quarter portion. And that's mine. He's that guy. He does. He does both of those.

[Julian Stern]

I'm so sorry. I completely. I kind of took episode seven and kind of shoved it out of my head for a little bit.

[Tiger Weiger]

That's reasonable.

[Julian Stern]

But. No, no, no, no. Not. By the way. I met JJ Abrams once. Jj, if you're watching, you know, I don't have anything against you.

[Mitch]

Hey, J.J. i don't. I do. This is. This is in car plot. You'll. You'll recognize him.

[Tiger Weiger]

He's the guy who Ray works for.

[Mitch]

Brings. Brings him.

[Julian Stern]

Debris. Oh, my God. He was in Act 1.

[Mitch]

And then that was, I think, played by Simon Pegg.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, I think it's Simon.

[Mitch]

What? Yeah, I love Simon.

[Julian Stern]

Pegg's great, man.

[Tiger Weiger]

He's still getting the Mission Impossibles.

[Mitch]

Yeah, I know, man. I want another Mission Impossible bad.

[Tiger Weiger]

I think it'll happen, but I think the team might be, like, reconfigured a little bit. Yeah, I was really hoping. Sorry. We should. We should get back to the show. But I was really hoping it in Final Reckoning we'd see a little bit more of like, hey, here's some.

[Mitch]

Oh, Amelia's back. That's what you were hearing in the

[Amelia]

busy office out there?

[Julian Stern]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

Oh, that was the.

[Amelia]

Oh, I get it.

[Mitch]

Why do we say rhubarb? We could have done anything. Why did we go. We did a. I mean, why were they saying.

[Tiger Weiger]

I don't know why they're saying that. I think they're just all so frazzled. They're just, you know, they're.

[Amelia]

They're doing their vocal warm ups before they, you know, shoot another episode.

[Tiger Weiger]

Whoa.

[Julian Stern]

It's going crazy out there.

[Tiger Weiger]

It's wild.

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

Shit.

[Mitch]

It is going crazy out there.

[Julian Stern]

Wow.

[Mitch]

Do you see it out there? Wow. It's going crazy.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, it's going crazy out there.

[Amelia]

Do I need to close these curtains?

[Mitch]

I think we might. That's why we got the curtains.

[Tiger Weiger]

It's why we got the curtains because they're just all. The hubbub was just such an eye draw.

[Julian Stern]

It's nice to see, like, this kind of work community, like, really working together, putting in the hustle. It's nice. I like it a lot.

[Mitch]

It's also good to know that if you tell Weiger something in confidence, he will stick by it and he will do it.

[Julian Stern]

That's a good improv ide.

[Mitch]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's. He's. He's a per. If you say, hey, you know, hey, say this on the episode, or don't say this, you're going to do that no matter what.

[Tiger Weiger]

That's right. Of course. I'm a. I'm a team player. Like everyone out there burning the midnight oil. Look, I thought the toasts were great.

[Mitch]

The toasts were good. The toast were real. The.

[Tiger Weiger]

To avocado toast was surprising.

[Mitch]

The toasts were. I'm going to say this. The toasts are a highlight.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

And I. I will say the avocado toast. Toast, I like. I'd normally want, like a. I'm not sure where you are on avocado toast.

[Julian Stern]

Well, I used to be able to eat it, and then recently I discovered I am allergic to avocados for some reason.

[Tiger Weiger]

That's right. You have an avocado allergy and you have another allergy. That's loaded.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah. Raw apples.

[Tiger Weiger]

Raw apples.

[Julian Stern]

Can't have raw apples.

[Mitch]

You and. And Ray Romano. Romano.

[Julian Stern]

I don't know if that's in secret, but, like. Yeah, Ray. Yeah. Neither of us can have raw apples. I don't know if that was, like, a big thing that I just revealed about Ray. Sorry, Ray.

[Tiger Weiger]

Bake it into a pie. You're fine.

[Julian Stern]

Perfectly fine.

[Tiger Weiger]

What about a juice?

[Julian Stern]

It depends. How processed.

[Tiger Weiger]

Pasteurized, maybe?

[Julian Stern]

Maybe. It honestly depends. It's like. I'll tell you this. I had homemade applesauce one time at my friend's Hanukkah party when I was a kid, and 10 minutes later, I had hives.

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh, my God.

[Julian Stern]

I don't know.

[Amelia]

I don't.

[Julian Stern]

I don't know. It just has to be cooked. Whatever's there, it just has to be burnt and killed.

[Amelia]

Wow.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

That's wild. Poor you and poor Ray Romano can't bite into a fresh apple.

[Julian Stern]

And my girlfriend. And my girlfriend, Tegan, she said, julian, can you go to the store and get me some apples? And I was like, are you fucking kidding me? Really? Wow.

[Mitch]

You said you told the store. Because I do this to wise all the time. We're like, you want a bite of the peanut butter bread? And you said that your mom will also be like, here's an apple.

[Julian Stern]

No, no. Yeah. No. On multiple occasions. Even when we went to Hawaii recently, we were in the plane, and she was like, oh, Julian, I have some applesauce here. You want a snack? And I'm like, like, yeah, Mom, I'll take that. Thank you very much. And she, like, yanked it back. Just realizing I have a picture of her just looking traumatized on the plane, thinking to herself, why have I tried to poison my son again?

[Mitch]

Where. Where did you. Where in. Where in Hawaii? I went for the first time this last year. Yeah. I went to Maui and. And Oahu. Yeah.

[Amelia]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

I loved it. I loved it.

[Julian Stern]

It's so good.

[Mitch]

It was so. It was so nice. Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

You haven't been. You haven't been since childhood, right?

[Tiger Weiger]

I. I got taken when I was a very young boy, and I don't really remember it, except my grandpa crashed a car into a tree.

[Mitch]

Oh, my God. What?

[Tiger Weiger]

He just total. It was just very funny that he, like, immediately totaled a rental car. It's like, did you buy the insurance?

[Amelia]

Like, yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

I was like, all right, well, that's where you buy the insurance.

[Mitch]

How old were you into, like, a palm tree? Oh, obviously. Into a palm tree.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

Into a palm tree.

[Amelia]

Yeah.

[Julian Stern]

Wow.

[Tiger Weiger]

Very Hawaiian accent.

[Julian Stern]

Never green. Sorry. That was bad. Were you in the car?

[Amelia]

Car?

[Tiger Weiger]

What's. No, I was. I think. I think he was just with my grandma. Or alone.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, yeah.

[Mitch]

Maybe they were fooling around while they were driving. Who knows?

[Tiger Weiger]

It's possible my grandma and grandpa were getting a little freaky while they were driving.

[Mitch]

They're just saying, who knows?

[Tiger Weiger]

We're alone from the grandkids are at the beach.

[Mitch]

I'm a coconut. All right, we'll cut all that out.

[Julian Stern]

You can't.

[Amelia]

No way.

[Tiger Weiger]

Okay, so take this for a spin, then. It'll take you for a spin. God, that's my grandma. Mitch, I can't believe you'd say that.

[Mitch]

I'm about to erupt.

[Tiger Weiger]

Here comes the Kahlua.

[Mitch]

Julian, we're sorry. Julian, we're sorry.

[Julian Stern]

No, I'm trying to think of one, but I can't.

[Mitch]

No, it's good. You're a good person.

[Tiger Weiger]

We'll cut all that.

[Mitch]

I'm not about to Lilo and bust.

[Julian Stern]

Lilo and bus.

[Tiger Weiger]

Lilo and bust.

[Mitch]

Okay. How about I'm Lilo and stiff?

[Tiger Weiger]

Lilo and stiff is great.

[Mitch]

See, you guys aren't the only Ones who do the punch ups back there. You don't have to think of a dirty.

[Tiger Weiger]

You don't have to think of one lays lace.

[Mitch]

Lace.

[Amelia]

What?

[Mitch]

White lace.

[Julian Stern]

What does that have to do with sex? Come on, Mike. All right.

[Mitch]

That was good.

[Julian Stern]

Good. Yeah, you know, that's what I do.

[Tiger Weiger]

Avocado Joe said like, it was. I, you know, I would normally want like a over easy egg on it, you know, I mean, but it's.

[Mitch]

It.

[Tiger Weiger]

That's like a sliced hard boiled egg. And you know what? It got the job done. It was like a good quality egg.

[Mitch]

That balsamic was, was. Was maybe doing a lot of work there. But you know, also, we can talk

[Tiger Weiger]

about like, yes, they were kind of modest portions, but each of these was like five bucks. So it's not like.

[Mitch]

All right, so that wasn't that bad.

[Tiger Weiger]

So it was like, it was like a. Oh, it was totally reasonable.

[Julian Stern]

$5 per token toast.

[Tiger Weiger]

$4.49.

[Mitch]

That changes everything. That's crazy.

[Julian Stern]

I thought it was going to be like 12 dos.

[Mitch]

That's what I thought. That's what I, that's what I thought it was.

[Tiger Weiger]

So it actually is as was a decent value for what you got. We got the, the bowls. We got the Mr. Bowl. We got the strawberry banana. Or no, was the Mr. Bowl the

[Julian Stern]

only bowl we got?

[Tiger Weiger]

I think, yeah, I think it was. Yeah.

[Mitch]

I said hold the apples.

[Julian Stern]

Are you making fun of me? Are you making fun of me? Wow.

[Mitch]

Wow, Julian. No, no. I'll show you right now.

[Amelia]

This is where he throws Amelia under the.

[Mitch]

This is what, do the Ray Romano impression again.

[Julian Stern]

Are you gonna do a Ray Romano impression?

[Mitch]

That's what it was. Hold the apples.

[Amelia]

Was.

[Mitch]

That was.

[Julian Stern]

Okay.

[Mitch]

Holy apple.

[Amelia]

Your Favormano and your Kermit are very close.

[Mitch]

They are very similar.

[Tiger Weiger]

The Mr. Bowl is acai topped with strawberry, banana, blueberry, granola, almond butter, almonds, chia seeds and protein. I thought it was pretty yummy. I mean, like, I, if I had that as a meal, I think that would be a totally serviceable, better than serviceable bowl. It's not a pliable. No, but this place is also not a bowl forward place. There's a place, there's a juice and smoothie place that has bowls.

[Mitch]

It's not bowl for it.

[Tiger Weiger]

I was happy with it.

[Mitch]

Yeah, I agree. Yeah, I, I like those. Like I said, those are the highlights of, of the meal for me.

[Tiger Weiger]

So you think the, for you, it was like the food side was working for you, and the juice side, you were less excited.

[Mitch]

No, I wouldn't say that I was less about it. I had. I had a strawberry banana smoothie. I'm just going to get it.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, strawberry banana smoothie. I got the, the man the mucho mango smoothie. Which one did you get, Julian?

[Julian Stern]

I got the banana peanut. The peanut butter.

[Tiger Weiger]

Peanut butter banana one.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

And these come.

[Amelia]

The.

[Tiger Weiger]

What they use is monk fruit for sweetener, or you can sub it in for agave, which gives you a little bit more calories. I don't mind the monk fruit, Emma. You're. You're not a big monk.

[Amelia]

I'm a huge fan of monk fruit. I, maybe I tried Mitch and I got the same smoothie, except I did agave and you did monk fruit. I also added collagen to mine, but

[Mitch]

I, I, I. Yours. I tasted mine again after. Cuz you said yours tasted like bubble gum. Yeah, and I tried. You tasted mine. Your. Yours tastes more like bubble gum. But I tried mine again after drinking yours and I actually thought it tasted less like bubble gum.

[Amelia]

Okay, interesting.

[Tiger Weiger]

So I don't know if the bubble

[Mitch]

gum taste had just stayed with you.

[Amelia]

They both kind of tasted like bubble.

[Mitch]

They both did kind of. They both did kind of taste like bubble gum. And I don't know if that's the monk fruit or what the monk fruit.

[Amelia]

I find like, if I have like a soda thing that's sweetened with monk fruit, it leaves a weird aftertaste in my mouth that I don't like, so I just tend to avoid it. And I love agave.

[Tiger Weiger]

In. In all fairness, you both had your cheeks full of a big league chew.

[Mitch]

That is true.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, you were just. And blowing bubbles in between each.

[Mitch]

I got a game later. And also it. It's that sort of thing of like, I think you can do. No monk fruit. I think you can.

[Amelia]

That's what Amelia did.

[Mitch]

That's what I should have done. Cuz my favorite. My favorite that I. And I tried yours. And yours was pretty good.

[Amelia]

Really good.

[Mitch]

And also, Julian, yours was really good. So I think this maybe was an issue you with. With the way I ordered my smoothie.

[Tiger Weiger]

I, I have something about Mr. Bowl. Can you. Can we just say something like, like, oh, one more thing about Mr. Bowl. And like Wag.

[Mitch]

One more thing about Mr.

[Tiger Weiger]

Bow. Yeah, here's one more thing about Mr. Bowl. What's next, Mrs. Plate?

[Amelia]

No.

[Julian Stern]

Okay, we. We stopped the podcast.

[Amelia]

Oh, I'm not going to cut that out. I'm going to leave that all in.

[Mitch]

I think four days of podcasting makes them go insane. What's happened?

[Amelia]

We're shooting gold right now.

[Tiger Weiger]

We're having fun.

[Mitch]

No, you're right. What's next, Mrs.

[Julian Stern]

Buddy?

[Mitch]

Oh, boy.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, great.

[Tiger Weiger]

Dr. Cup is here.

[Amelia]

Spoon Man. Fuck.

[Tiger Weiger]

Spoon man's good.

[Amelia]

Shit.

[Mitch]

Dr. Cup is here. Oh, he doesn't believe in vaxes. Dr. Cup is anti vax.

[Amelia]

Let's next. Straw Junior.

[Mitch]

All right, we gotta end this episode. Let's do a speedrun on this episode and just get things done. Straw Junior.

[Tiger Weiger]

If it was to do fan art of this whole family, I think that would be delightful. Mr. Plate, Mrs. Plate.

[Mitch]

Straw Junior.

[Tiger Weiger]

Straw Junior. And Dr. Cup, of course. Maybe Dr. Cup.

[Mitch]

And remember, Dr. Cup is anti vaxx. You got to remember that. So Straw Juniors. Maybe they're maybe taking straw. Need to get vaccinated.

[Tiger Weiger]

Maybe that's what's happening. It's a doctor's appointment.

[Mitch]

Yeah, that's.

[Tiger Weiger]

That's a fair scenario.

[Mitch]

Anyways, there too.

[Tiger Weiger]

This.

[Mitch]

I'm there too.

[Julian Stern]

What's next? Fork boy. That's it. They don't have to. Don't laugh.

[Tiger Weiger]

Fork Boy should be part of it.

[Julian Stern]

No, Fork Boy is in Fork Boy.

[Tiger Weiger]

There you go.

[Mitch]

Who's this kid I'm hanging out with?

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, you tell me.

[Amelia]

It kind of reminded me, like, Mermaid man and Barnacle Boy.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah. Oh, there you go.

[Amelia]

Spoon man and Fork Boy.

[Mitch]

We are. We are. We are. Wise and I are too old for SpongeBob.

[Julian Stern]

We don't know for SpongeBob.

[Mitch]

We don't Know SpongeBob.

[Tiger Weiger]

I've absorbed some SpongeBob, but I never, like, watched it regularly. Yeah, it was a little.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, I was watching the fuck out of that when I was in a

[Mitch]

Pineapple under the Sea. That's what I know.

[Tiger Weiger]

I've noticed, like, people of. People of your generation are, like, kind of grew up on SpongeBob.

[Julian Stern]

I'm Gen Z. Sandy cheeks. What does that mean? What? I don't know, actually. What does that mean for you guys?

[Tiger Weiger]

Guys means we. Let's.

[Mitch]

I mean this. We're almost j. I grew up on.

[Tiger Weiger]

On Steamboat Willie. That was my big cartoon.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, he's from, like, the 1800s. Right, right.

[Mitch]

Speaking of pineapple. Yeah, he's. He's old as.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

You know those skeletons dancing? That was a big one.

[Mitch]

That was scary. Fun and scary.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah, that was terrifying.

[Mitch]

Speaking of pineapples under the sea, you kept turning all the pineapples upside down in this restaurant. Was there a reason for that? I don't know.

[Tiger Weiger]

It wasn't getting any better bites, though. The mucho mango.

[Mitch]

I thought swinger thing. Okay, all right. I know. I Don't, I don't know. I don't know.

[Julian Stern]

I just turned 28. I just learned what that means.

[Mitch]

You're a young man. You're a young man.

[Tiger Weiger]

He's more steeped in Internet culture than we are, unfortunately.

[Julian Stern]

Generation. Get off of it if you can.

[Tiger Weiger]

I thought the, I thought the mucho mango, the mucho mango, which I'm continuing to sip on here, was tremendous. I also shout out that the, they have these boba style cups where you've got like a, a kind of like a sheet of plastic and I don't like single use plastic, but whatever, it's, it's inescapable over the top of it and you have a straw and you just get to pierce it through, which is a lot of fun. And then they even have a target for you here, which I really like. But it also prevents spillage. It's a little bit less sloppy than a traditional lid.

[Mitch]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

But this, this I think is so good. I mean, I'm trying not to finish it, but I've just been sipping away at it and, and having a great time.

[Mitch]

My smoothie was just okay. I liked my smoothie. It was, I think it was just okay, but I liked all the bites I got. But here's the thing. My juice, that red juice, I forget the name of. You got it in there.

[Tiger Weiger]

It was the, not the berry powerful, it was the red tonic.

[Mitch]

The red tonic was pretty damn good. I don't know if you guys had

[Tiger Weiger]

a, I had some. It was yummy. Yeah, Yeah, I thought it was good. It was kind of like a beet based thing. It felt like, I guess so.

[Mitch]

I don't know. But it, it was, it looked like beety drink.

[Amelia]

Right? It was like good for your.

[Mitch]

Yes. Yeah, they were saying, yeah, they were, they were saying, they saying it was a lot like Pete Holmes's brain juice, where it was both good, I think, good for your brain and good for your body. But wise. I, I, I enjoyed that. Here's the deal. We should get, we should get to this there. We had a surprise extra course.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

So Commissioner Susser showed up. The dodiac released him from his pen for this for record days. I guess that's just a little bit of a privilege he has. He, he showed up first off. He surprised showed up to the studio. Emilia was like, oh, Susser is here. Showed up unannounced, walked over with us to movita, got in on the Movita order. It's right next. We were in a mini mall, which is right next to A Domino's pizza. Susser's eye on that Domino's. He gets up and he walks over there.

[Mitch]

No. He's like, we should get it. And I was like, no. Yeah, we're doing, we're not doing. First of all, I'm gonna watch Tales from the Crypt and eat pizza after this. Yeah, with so go. I'm gonna see Paul Ross and eat pizza and watch Tales from the Crypt.

[Tiger Weiger]

What a fun night that sounds like.

[Mitch]

Which I've already planned the pizza. And by the way, it's already on the way. I'm screwed.

[Tiger Weiger]

Wait, you ordered the pizza?

[Mitch]

I did. I scheduled ahead for 8:30 and it's 7:30 and it's on the way.

[Amelia]

This is what they do with the schedule ads. They come so early.

[Mitch]

That's up.

[Amelia]

Sucks.

[Mitch]

It's up. I mean, I think it's, it's coming for Burbank. So you got, got 20 minutes, but it's gonna be fine.

[Tiger Weiger]

You got 20 minutes to wrap up the episode and get, get back to your place. You're not gonna make it.

[Mitch]

I'm not gonna make. That's what I'm saying. It's not gonna happen in time. I'm gonna have to leave it out front. I don't know what's gonna happen.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, another order.

[Tiger Weiger]

Can you message the driver?

[Mitch]

I will, I guess.

[Tiger Weiger]

Why don't we message somebody?

[Amelia]

They could drop it off here instead.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, reroute it.

[Mitch]

Oh, well,

[Amelia]

I didn't mean to eat it myself.

[Julian Stern]

She's clearly thinking about slices available.

[Mitch]

She is thinking about a fresh order

[Amelia]

for your movie with Paul. We will take the other.

[Tiger Weiger]

That's another option. We could give us that pizza and then you can order another one.

[Mitch]

All right, sure. I'll order on the dough boys card, baby.

[Julian Stern]

Is it dominoes?

[Mitch]

It's not. It's prime pizza.

[Tiger Weiger]

So Susser, Susser is there with us. He's got a juice order. He says, I, I, we should get dominoes. Mitch is trying to discourage him, saying, this is the day we're eating healthy. He goes up rogue on his own, walks over there, puts in an order, comes back and then after like 10 minutes goes back there, retrieves a, a hot and ready. Hot and ready. Not hot and ready in the, the, the Little Caesar sense. A, a fresh cheese pizza and just starts, opens it up and just has a slice. Just offering it up to everyone, though. And here's the thing. This foul temptress, this, this, this incubus got me with that slice. I was like, I gotta have a slice of cheese. And it Was good as hell. It was the best thing I ate.

[Amelia]

It was so hot.

[Tiger Weiger]

It was so fucking good.

[Mitch]

It was the best thing I ate too, and I was so annoyed. I think Susser wanted us to put it on the doughboys card, I think is what he was like. He's like, you should get dominoes. But then he went in and he bought that damn pizza on his own. And it was like one of the best domino's cheese pizzas I have. I've had in a minute. It was damn good.

[Amelia]

I think that's why he came today. He, like, looked up Movita. He's like, there's a domino's next.

[Mitch]

There's a non zero chance that he did that.

[Tiger Weiger]

It's the same complex as a. As a dominoes and a Baskin Robbins. So he probably was eyeing one of the two, maybe both gal.

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

But we had. I love the dominoes, the juices. I will say the mucho mango is great. I'm really enjoying it. I got a cold brew coffee, which I. Which I liked quite a bit. It was lightly sweetened, had almond milk in it. Mitch, you didn't like. You didn't like the coffee? You thought I. I like. I liked it quite a bit. I thought it was yummy. The green drink I got, which is the fiber.

[Mitch]

This is our day to not eat. Domino's are sus. What the. Why did I eat? Why did I fall for it? You didn't. You were strong.

[Tiger Weiger]

You're the only one who eats the pizza.

[Julian Stern]

I was like, listen, I told my girlfriend, like, I'm going in to the doughboys podcast. She's like, that's great, honey. And I'm like, I'm gonna guess what. It's gonna be a healthy meal. It's like, oh, good, you're 28 years old now. You need to start eating healthy. And I'm like, thanks, love. I love you. And she said, bye. And I said, bye. And it was very nice. And then I come here and I just almost get tempted into eating.

[Mitch]

I was really pushing it on you. I was saying, so be right over there if you want to take it. And you did. You never did.

[Tiger Weiger]

I was impressed by the self control.

[Mitch]

In fact, one slice got thrown away. And you were mad at that.

[Tiger Weiger]

Well, because I was like, I would have eaten that slice.

[Mitch]

Yeah, I know. I get it.

[Julian Stern]

All of you guys. What do you mean? It was all of you. You all said that.

[Mitch]

I wasn't mad because I did not want to eat it. Oh, yeah, yeah. And I have. Coming.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, yeah.

[Mitch]

I I'm a pleasure to work with.

[Tiger Weiger]

I will say that I would like.

[Mitch]

You could tell you were there.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, there. Oh, yeah. Of course.

[Tiger Weiger]

You both. Of course, met on the Comeback. And the. The did the multiple cat. The multiple cast members of the Comeback who I've encountered, who worked with Mitch, of course, had nothing but nice things to say. You charm every Tony mocked.

[Mitch]

You saw. You met Tony.

[Tiger Weiger]

Tony Mock is great.

[Mitch]

Yeah, yeah.

[Julian Stern]

Tony's lovely.

[Mitch]

Yeah. And also he was on. He was on the lot. We ran. I ran into Wise post Comeback. I'd see wives on the lot. He was. He was. He was working over there.

[Tiger Weiger]

We didn't d. Talk about the thing you did, which is that I was walking around. It was me, Ryan Ridley and Scott Barter, who is the showrunner, who's my boss. And we were just talking and Mitch, you'd go to Scott. I was like, how do you do?

[Julian Stern]

Today

[Tiger Weiger]

you were a dad checking up on his kid,

[Julian Stern]

give you good stuff.

[Mitch]

And he said you did good. He said he did well.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

Here's the issue.

[Amelia]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

After this Domino's. I didn't care about the juice place anymore. I thought it was bad.

[Tiger Weiger]

I will say I got.

[Mitch]

I don't care about the juice anymore.

[Tiger Weiger]

Talk about low light for me. I thought the fiber green sucked. It tasted like. Emma, this was your observation. It tasted like grass. Like you were sucking in the remnants of a lawnmower.

[Amelia]

Yeah, it felt like a lawnmower. Just like. Like emptied in my mouth.

[Tiger Weiger]

It was gross. And also the texture of it was like grass. Like it was way too chunky. I don't know. It was like. It was like soup.

[Amelia]

It was not a chuggable juice.

[Julian Stern]

Yes.

[Amelia]

Yeah, different or like a shot or something. But yeah, being like a thick. It was like thicker than any of the other smoothies.

[Tiger Weiger]

I. I was. And it was supposed to be a juice. I was advertised a juice. It was absolutely not a juice. I thought that was. That was a. That was pretty repulsive.

[Julian Stern]

I got like. Do you guys like pulp in your juice or anything? Cuz that's what I kind of felt like. I feel like I. Yeah, I felt like I had like pulp or some sort of like beads of grass in that.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, it was gross. It was really, really bad. Yeah.

[Amelia]

Mom, can you tell me a story?

[Julian Stern]

Sure. Once upon a time, a mom needed a new car.

[Amelia]

Was she brave?

[Mitch]

She was tired mostly. But she went to Carvana.com and found

[Tiger Weiger]

a great car at a great price. No secret treasure map required. Did you have to fight a dragon?

[Amelia]

Nope.

[Mitch]

She bought it 100% online from her bed, actually.

[Amelia]

Was it scary?

[Mitch]

Honey, it was as unscary as car buying could be.

[Amelia]

Did the car have a sunroof?

[Mitch]

It did, actually.

[Amelia]

Okay, good story.

[Mitch]

Car buying you'll want to tell stories about.

[Amelia]

Buy your car today on Carvana. Delivery fees may apply.

[Tiger Weiger]

Let's get to our fork scores for Movita. So, Julian, our guest, your first time doing the podcast. We'll each go around, give a closing argument, if you will, all our thoughts about this experience, and then end by giving it a score from 0 to 5 forks. You are a guest. Will begin with you.

[Julian Stern]

Okay, so the way I'm gonna rate this is basically it's gonna be quality to price. And when you said that the toast was $5, I'm not gonna lie, I was very surprised. You go to la, you go anywhere, you get like avocado toast. It's like $16.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

True.

[Julian Stern]

It's insane. It's always like it's the.

[Mitch]

And not that much bigger than what you got.

[Julian Stern]

No, not at all. And it's like they. They packed it. I will say they packed it. Strawberries, bananas, the almond butter and Nutella. On this. On the piece of bread, I thought it was pretty good. I was wondering if there was an option to toast it or if they already had it pre toasted. And I would have liked that. Yeah, that's the one thing I would have liked. It's like, I actually would have liked if it was like, if it was a little warmer. But I can let that slide for the fact that it's only $5. Now, the smoothie. I did have a question. How much were the smoothies?

[Tiger Weiger]

Okay, so the baseline for a smoothie was 9.99.

[Mitch]

Okay, so more expensive.

[Tiger Weiger]

More expensive, but still not crazy by LA smoothie prices.

[Julian Stern]

Not even. Yeah, not even close. It's like, I think for most LA smoothies, it's like $14.

[Tiger Weiger]

I definitely spent that much money is

[Amelia]

always north of $20. But that's Erewhon. That's the extreme.

[Tiger Weiger]

But Erewhon's an edge case. But yes, you're right.

[Julian Stern]

I don't care if it's Erewhon. It's a smoothie.

[Tiger Weiger]

It's a smoothie.

[Julian Stern]

It's get over yourself. Not you. Sorry, I'm talking to Erewhile.

[Amelia]

It's me.

[Julian Stern]

I get it. I just start picking a fight with

[Mitch]

the daisies with your teams.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh, man. Good luck.

[Mitch]

I know I'd be sick.

[Tiger Weiger]

I wouldn't do it.

[Amelia]

They don't dare.

[Tiger Weiger]

I just do it. I just do it. Emma tells me.

[Julian Stern]

I think I'm stronger. I think I can take everyone in this room if I wanted to.

[Mitch]

Now you sound like Wagger.

[Amelia]

Yeah.

[Julian Stern]

Have you said this before?

[Amelia]

I mean, they've talked about whether or not they can kick each other's ass.

[Tiger Weiger]

Mitch would. Mitch would beat me in a fight, but I think I would have a chance because I get better cardio.

[Mitch]

What'd you say? It was an edge case. Is that what you.

[Tiger Weiger]

Edge case?

[Amelia]

Yeah. Like, it's like.

[Tiger Weiger]

It's like an extreme. I'm saying it a different way.

[Amelia]

Exception to the rule.

[Mitch]

Yeah, I was considered. You an edge case. He likes that. He loves edging. All right, Wags, wait.

[Tiger Weiger]

What was your. Where did you land with your. With your score?

[Julian Stern]

Oh, yeah. So basically. So going off of that, because that was the last thing. If the smoothie was over $15, I would be lowering my score. But honestly, I think. I honestly think out of everything that I got, I would give it four forks. I think the only thing I was just, wow. I mean, I don't know, really, like, what else? I mean, you know what? Fuck it. Four and a half. Honestly, the only thing that I really. That really bothered me, truly, was just not even bothered. It was just like, can I toast a toast? Can I not toast the toast? But overall, I thought I was like, it's great for your deal. It's a good price. And in Los Angeles, when health is like, the branding, I think they're doing it the best.

[Mitch]

Not a bad score. Can I hear your fork scores quickly?

[Amelia]

My smoothie was pretty good. I opted to not have monk fruit or agave in it, which I think was the right mood move.

[Mitch]

It.

[Amelia]

It was pretty good. I didn't try anyone else's stuff. The. The shot that we took earlier tasted like cod liver oil, but it was still all right. You want to know my fork score?

[Mitch]

Also, we heard. We heard a good origin story for you is that your mom gave you the reason that you gamble on fish.

[Amelia]

I guess this is the origin is she gave me a spoonful of cod liver oil every night before. So maybe that's why I like fish.

[Tiger Weiger]

It could be for your health. Was that to help you sleep?

[Amelia]

That was just. Yeah, for, like, nutrients and omegas and stuff and alphas or whatever. Alphas, omegas, alphas, no betas.

[Mitch]

What would you. What's. What's your fork score? Both of you? Let's hear it.

[Amelia]

I think I moveda has weird branding, I think. But whatever. That doesn't really matter. I would give It. Four forks.

[Mitch]

Four forks.

[Amelia]

Maybe a little a straw junior in there too.

[Mitch]

All right. Four straw juniors, Emma. Well, how about you?

[Tiger Weiger]

Four forks and a straw junior. Junior.

[Amelia]

Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

Okay, got it.

[Mitch]

I feel like I don't get that, but sure.

[Amelia]

Four forks feels right about right. Because I, I, my smoothie was great. I would probably go back and get another one sometime. It's right nearby. It's definitely more affordable than Creation, which is across the street, which I have like stopped and gotten a smoothie on my way in before. And those are also like, can be like $20 smoothies.

[Mitch]

Sure.

[Amelia]

So I liked it. And I finished after everyone tried the avocado toast, I finished it. I like really enjoyed that avocado toast.

[Mitch]

Those bites were.

[Amelia]

But yeah, and knowing that it's like five bucks. Absolutely a steal if it was more than that. I've been mad because it's not like a big, it's not like a, some avocado toast you get. It's like a piece of like, it's like a hearty piece of toast. This was like just a slice from a loaf. Like a classic like grocery store loaf. It wasn't like some big thick piece of toast. But I kind of like that. It was like a nice little snack. Four forks.

[Tiger Weiger]

I'm gonna go.

[Julian Stern]

Four forks.

[Tiger Weiger]

Good score. I'm gonna go. Mitch, I'm gonna let you bout clean up.

[Mitch]

Okay.

[Tiger Weiger]

Because. All right. I, I consider Julian's closing argument to be revelatory. I think like a prophet giving a sermon from a hilltop. You have, you have illuminated me as to the value proposition of Movita. And when I think about all the options of the neighborhood, when I think about the creation, when I think about the juice place that just opened next door, which is steps away and where I got a smoothie before, which was fine, fine. It's replaced the oakberry, which I have a feeling oakberry is going to start receding pretty quickly and be a dead brand in a matter of years. We'll see. But I think if I was going to go get a smoothie in this neighborhood, I'd trudge over to Boveda because I can get a good smoothie. A smoothie I really like. Like this mango, the mucho mango for, I don't know, maybe less than the price. I would get it at some, at like a Jamba Juice, you know what I mean? Like 9.99 for this. I know that's, that's unreasonable about of money. That's more than the federal minimum wage. I understand it's insane, but we all Know how much things cost? A $10 smoothie is a good value in 2026. And I thought the, I thought the toast was good. And I thought the b, the bowl was good. The bowl, by the way, was $12.49. That was the most expensive item we got. Okay, so I think, I think, I think as far as ju juice, it was okay.

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

As far as juice and smoothies,

[Amelia]

I

[Tiger Weiger]

think I'm ballpark buds with everyone. I'm gonna say four forks, four fork boys, Four fork boys for Movita and a Straw Junior.

[Julian Stern]

Can I just say one more thing? Yeah.

[Mitch]

So hold on. What does a.

[Julian Stern]

Sorry, no, no, no.

[Mitch]

What does a straw. You got Straw Junior. What does four forks in a Straw Junior mean?

[Tiger Weiger]

I think it translates to roughly a tie.

[Julian Stern]

That's what I thought.

[Mitch]

Okay.

[Tiger Weiger]

All right.

[Mitch]

Straw Jr. Is a tine.

[Amelia]

Okay.

[Mitch]

Okay.

[Julian Stern]

I was just also going to say

[Amelia]

Jenny just snorted and she's, like, melting.

[Julian Stern]

She's so cute. She's the best.

[Tiger Weiger]

She's adorable.

[Julian Stern]

She's lovely. The last thing I wanted to say, though, for my last bit of argument, it was, this was good enough. The order that I got the peanut butter banana smoothie as well as the, I forgot the name of the toast, but it's like the Nutella something banana strawberry almond butter toast, I believe it

[Tiger Weiger]

was just called Almond Butter Toast.

[Julian Stern]

Okay. That almond butter toast, it was good enough. Where even when I was presented with a cheesy pizza from Domino's, I said no. So I will say, like, that's how I, I, I think the quality is pretty good.

[Tiger Weiger]

It's quite an endorsement. All right, Mitch, it falls to you.

[Mitch]

Look, Susser getting the cheese pizza from Domino's also is making me late tonight to get other pizza. I'm mad at Susser.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

Oh, it was Suser, by the way. He got let out by the dod. He got let out from the DODIA for a few minutes. He's back with the dod Zodiac.

[Tiger Weiger]

He got, he got picked up in a Chevy Suburban with tinted windows and chained.

[Mitch]

Yeah, he got chained, but he was loose. I don't know why he just willingly goes back and gets chained up again.

[Tiger Weiger]

But, yeah, no, he was just like, kind of waited for it. Yeah, he was kind of. I think he kind of wanted to get chained.

[Mitch]

Yeah. I hope that ankle monitor was for the dodiac, not other reasons. I, I, I had a good time. I thought that the bites were nice. The dominoes really changed everything for me. And also, I gotta say this, I'd rather go to nature. Well, there's Other smoothie places I want to go. The price point's really, really good. 3.75 forks.

[Tiger Weiger]

Wow.

[Mitch]

Three forks three times and a straw junior.

[Amelia]

Yes.

[Tiger Weiger]

That may. That puts it up to four forks.

[Mitch]

I'm giving it 3.75 forks and a straw junior. So whatever that equates to straw Junior's a ton.

[Tiger Weiger]

So that would be. That would be four forks. Or maybe it doesn't qualify because this is. We got to figure this out. Because that. It might not qualify for the.

[Mitch]

It's not the best smoothie place. But look, it's a nice addition to it. But there's too many of these. Damn. There's too many.

[Tiger Weiger]

There's too many of them. There's too many critical mass. What would you give that Domino's? Because that's. That was a five and also I'm gonna say good.

[Mitch]

It was a five fork cheese pizza. I give. I give Domino's. Five forks, 100. And I'll tell you this. The staff at that place, they were great.

[Tiger Weiger]

They were so, so. They were so friendly and so three point Junior.

[Mitch]

I don't know what everything great that means, but that is my score.

[Tiger Weiger]

I think it. I think it's a. It's. It's equivalent of war forks.

[Mitch]

Okay.

[Tiger Weiger]

But. Well, this is. We'll just have. You know what? We'll have to ask the commissioner.

[Mitch]

All right.

[Tiger Weiger]

We'll figure it out when we free him.

[Mitch]

Finally.

[Tiger Weiger]

Hey. That was our review of Movita. It's time for a segment. I got a food stuff. We're gonna decide if you should put it in your mouth. It's snack or whack. We got some Jenny's old fashioned popcorn that meals is going to walk over here. This was sent in from an anonymous fan. Thank you to fan who sent in the cheesecorn Jennies and the caramel Dittos. Jenny's.

[Mitch]

I. There was another one. That was. The bag was open and I ate some of it.

[Amelia]

Remember?

[Tiger Weiger]

That's right. It arrived open.

[Julian Stern]

It arrived open.

[Tiger Weiger]

And Mitch ate some.

[Mitch]

I ate some of it.

[Julian Stern]

Wait, it arrived open.

[Mitch]

It arrived open. And you and I ate some.

[Julian Stern]

What was concerned?

[Mitch]

No, they were.

[Tiger Weiger]

We were all concerned. We tell him not to do this, but he's going to do it.

[Mitch]

My stomach was messed up for days after that.

[Tiger Weiger]

Okay, so that's possibly related.

[Mitch]

Okay. All right.

[Amelia]

All right.

[Mitch]

Anyways, let's, let's.

[Tiger Weiger]

Where are you on popcorn?

[Julian Stern]

Love popcorn.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah. You're going to go into the cinema. You're going to watch a. Watch a movie popcorn. You're definitely Getting.

[Julian Stern]

I've got to get a little bit of popcorn.

[Tiger Weiger]

Wow. Okay. Yes.

[Mitch]

You're at the cinema. You're watching a movie. Popcorn. He's a popcorn skeptic.

[Tiger Weiger]

I'm a bit of a popcorn skeptic. I usually go more nachos, but I. I'll. I will eat this with an open mind. I'm going to open these cheesy corn and pass these over to. To you.

[Mitch]

I do like. I like the. I like caramel Diddy. I like. Like that.

[Julian Stern]

Thank you. I will have a little. Let's see here. You would.

[Mitch]

I do. I like the caramel. Did

[Tiger Weiger]

she.

[Mitch]

I forgot not. I don't like D I D D y.

[Tiger Weiger]

He was caramel Diddy. Was. Was out of baby oil. Use some dessert toppings. They're caramel dittos. Mitch Ditto. Like the Pokemon.

[Mitch]

Oops.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah. I'll open up these caramel dittos as well.

[Julian Stern]

Okay.

[Tiger Weiger]

What do you like a popcorn just with butter? Do you like a cheesy corn? Do you like a kettle corn?

[Julian Stern]

I like. So first off, that's amazing.

[Tiger Weiger]

Wow.

[Julian Stern]

I like that. I like this as well, but I like usually.

[Tiger Weiger]

And the soda.

[Julian Stern]

May I? Yeah. Thank you so much. Sorry, I didn't mean to take it from you. No, you're fine. I like to have some cheddar cheese or. Honestly, that's the best butter. If it's salted butter, sure. If it's just one time I got popcorn with just butter and it just. It's just like. It's just soggy popcorn. It's like. This sucks. I don't know why people do this.

[Mitch]

The butter. Too much butter.

[Julian Stern]

Just any butter. I don't get it. It's like if it's not salted butter.

[Mitch]

I love butter on my popcorn, but sometimes you get. It does get sogged out. I get what you're saying. Too much. Too much butter.

[Tiger Weiger]

I think if I am going to have popcorn either like it's super buttery three and salty as hell or I like a cheese corn and I think that cheese corn is pretty funny.

[Mitch]

Do you try these caramel ditties yet?

[Tiger Weiger]

I have not yet. So send over the caramel ditties.

[Mitch]

The caramel ditties are huge snack.

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh my God.

[Julian Stern]

Are they called ditties? Are you guys just like.

[Mitch]

We're just calling them diddies now? Because I mistake.

[Julian Stern]

I don't think you should call them diddies.

[Amelia]

It looks like you're holding a shrimp in your hand.

[Tiger Weiger]

It really does. This is fucking great.

[Mitch]

Oh, we're fancy.

[Tiger Weiger]

What a Great crunch, crunchy texture. Walk these over to the dance.

[Amelia]

Oh, thank you.

[Mitch]

Diddy. You did it again. They're fantastic.

[Julian Stern]

He sure did. He sure did.

[Tiger Weiger]

You're guilty of producing a delicious caramel snack.

[Amelia]

These.

[Mitch]

I'm gonna. I'm gonna give you huge. I'm gonna give huge snack to the caramel. And I would always go cheese popcorn over the caramel.

[Tiger Weiger]

What like we call saying Diddy was guilty of a delicious caramel snack?

[Mitch]

I did like that, actually.

[Julian Stern]

Just felt like it.

[Tiger Weiger]

Got no reaction. Thank you for laughing, Julian.

[Julian Stern]

You're welcome.

[Tiger Weiger]

I heard.

[Mitch]

I'm worried about my pizza.

[Tiger Weiger]

I think it's gonna work out. Those are both big time snacks for me. I like the caramel more, which I'm surprised by, but the caramel just has such a wonderful texture to it.

[Mitch]

Jimmy's just licking this clean up cheese.

[Amelia]

She loves cheesy popcorn. It's like one of her favorites.

[Mitch]

Oh, my good girl.

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh, she just flicked it off the couch.

[Amelia]

She's like loading me up again.

[Tiger Weiger]

Just. Just tongue punted it off the couch.

[Julian Stern]

I like how docile she is.

[Tiger Weiger]

She did it again.

[Mitch]

This is good as hell.

[Tiger Weiger]

You know what?

[Mitch]

Two huge snacks. These are both good. And you know what? The other ones were stale. I will now say I can confirm the bag that was open was not good.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, that makes sense that the bag that was arrived open was perhaps stale.

[Mitch]

Mitch, I also did a straight colonel to my tooth.

[Tiger Weiger]

Oh, I hate that.

[Mitch]

Oh, man.

[Tiger Weiger]

That's part of the. The risk. Risk, reward proposition of. Of popcorn. You can have a pretty uncomfortable day.

[Mitch]

They should invent something for that in the theaters.

[Tiger Weiger]

Snacker whack. You say snack for these.

[Julian Stern]

This is snack.

[Tiger Weiger]

Snacks all around Producer's desk. Snacks.

[Mitch]

Yeah, these are. These are snacks.

[Tiger Weiger]

Thank you. Thank you. To fan. If you want to identify yourself. Who sent in that Jenny's old fashioned popcorn.

[Mitch]

We.

[Tiger Weiger]

We'd be happy to acknowledge you publicly. That was the last. Hey, just like a restaurant via feedback. Listen to the feedback. We have a voicemail today. Let's take a listen.

[Julian Stern]

Wow.

[Amelia]

All right.

[Julian Stern]

I'm sitting here with Jake.

[Tiger Weiger]

He's got an insane food theory.

[Julian Stern]

Jake, tell him your food theory.

[Mitch]

There's only four types of food.

[Julian Stern]

Sandwich, salad, meat, soup. And I'd like you to prove this as vastly incorrect.

[Tiger Weiger]

This is Joe calling from Dubuque.

[Julian Stern]

Been listening for years. Cheers.

[Tiger Weiger]

Love you guys. See you later.

[Julian Stern]

Thank you.

[Tiger Weiger]

Joe from Dubuque sharing Jake's theory that there are only four types of food. Sandwich, salad, meat, and soup.

[Julian Stern]

So where does. What. What would a pizza be this is the.

[Tiger Weiger]

Taxonomically. This, this feels incoherent. Now I'm sure Jake has countered all these arguments and so we need to engage with Jake directly to figure out exactly what his logic is. I would guess he classifies that as a sandwich. Pizza is a sandwich to me. I guess you want to argue that pizza is an open faced sandwich. You could, but that feels like a, A stret. A stretch. Here's, here's my thing.

[Mitch]

Disagree. Hard disagree.

[Tiger Weiger]

No, I know I'm not. I'm just trying to, to figure out from his, his point of view how you land on this. Is pasta a salad? Is that what he's saying? Like a bowl of spaghetti marinara is a salad? Or is that like a soup because it's saucy? What is it?

[Julian Stern]

What?

[Tiger Weiger]

Like, I, I just, I feel like so many exceptions. I'm thinking of immediately. What do you put? A spring roll? Is a spring roll a salad?

[Julian Stern]

No, that's a sandwich sandwich.

[Tiger Weiger]

That's a sandwich.

[Julian Stern]

No, a spring roll is a sandwich. That would be a sandwich.

[Amelia]

A wrap would be a sandwich.

[Tiger Weiger]

A wrap would be a sandwich.

[Julian Stern]

But that also means then like, like. Okay, so salad, if you classify a salad, it's just not like it's anything that like it can have greens in it or not have greens in it. Which also means, I guess cereal. No, cereal would be a soup.

[Tiger Weiger]

Cereal would be a soup cereal. But you're like, well like let's say your dish, the dish you referenced earlier, the lamb chops obviously would be meat.

[Julian Stern]

That's meat.

[Tiger Weiger]

But the, the, the broccoli you described, I guess he. That would be classified as salad.

[Julian Stern]

But it's a side.

[Tiger Weiger]

I don't think of it as a salad. That's a side.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah, it's a side. For the meat.

[Tiger Weiger]

If you saw steamed broccoli on a menu under salads, you'd be like, what are you talking about?

[Mitch]

Sure.

[Julian Stern]

So does that mean sushi is, would he classify sushi as a sandwich? Like hand rolls is a sandwich?

[Tiger Weiger]

I guess a hand roll would be a sandwich. Like a nigiri would be like a sandwich variant. And maybe a sashimi would be a meat.

[Julian Stern]

Yeah, that makes sense. This is so far kind of making sense.

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Tiger Weiger]

You know what, Jake? Maybe you're right. No, he's telling you. Joe, I apologize. Maybe your friend Jake is correct.

[Julian Stern]

Wait, why, why is it, why is it not true?

[Mitch]

I don't know.

[Julian Stern]

Dude, I gave you the floor.

[Mitch]

It's. Look, I'm a man. Who said cupcakes are pie?

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, you did.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, wait, that's a good point. Wait. That's a good point. What about dessert?

[Tiger Weiger]

Yes.

[Julian Stern]

What about cake? What about.

[Mitch]

What about ice cream? You're the first person to ever say it was a good point.

[Julian Stern]

That is a good point.

[Amelia]

Cupcakes are. Pie is a good. He just meant dessert's a good point.

[Julian Stern]

No, sorry. That actually was correct. But I did like that you brought up desserts.

[Tiger Weiger]

Well, I, I think you could maybe argue that a pie is a sandwich. I think that would perhaps be okay. Mitch just got some sort of notification here. Is this about. Regarding the pizza?

[Mitch]

Okay. Oh, should I go get it?

[Amelia]

Was it here?

[Julian Stern]

He's concentrating.

[Amelia]

Really?

[Julian Stern]

I like the concentration.

[Amelia]

He's very serious about his pizza.

[Julian Stern]

I would be, too.

[Amelia]

I. Yeah. Who wouldn't be?

[Mitch]

Dutton is there early.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, who.

[Amelia]

Oh, oh, Maybe he can receive the pizza.

[Mitch]

This is very funny.

[Tiger Weiger]

I, I, I feel like. I just feel like Jake is. I go into this with skepticism. And when I start analyzing each individual dish, I can find a way to classify them as, well, one of the four. It feels a little bit reductive, but I could see how you could land on those.

[Mitch]

I don't like it. Like, a hot dog's not a sandwich. A hot dog's a hot dog.

[Julian Stern]

Oh, we've been over this.

[Tiger Weiger]

Yeah, we've been over that.

[Julian Stern]

The View has been over that.

[Mitch]

I know the View. The View's talking about. It's chili talking about.

[Tiger Weiger]

What the View's talking about is chili salad or.

[Mitch]

We're gonna start talking about menopause at some point. Because I will.

[Tiger Weiger]

I'm sure, I'm sure we'll get into it at some point as we age.

[Mitch]

Sure.

[Tiger Weiger]

Be a thing we encounter.

[Mitch]

We'll talk about it at some point

[Tiger Weiger]

when we know it's not a taboo topic. I don't think it is either thing that that happens.

[Mitch]

Do you think I was saying that menopause is bad and I'm weirded out by happening?

[Tiger Weiger]

I think it's. I think menopause is okay. That's just, I'm just speaking for myself, not speaking for the whole podcast.

[Mitch]

I support menopause.

[Julian Stern]

I would love to tell every woman out there what I think of menopause. As I say directly into the camera.

[Mitch]

I'm just saying we're, we're sounding like the viewer over here. We're like the View a little bit.

[Julian Stern]

A little bit. When we're coming to the sandwich with hot dog.

[Amelia]

Menopause is my least favorite Pokemon.

[Tiger Weiger]

Why didn't you text that to Mitch?

[Amelia]

Oh, yeah, I should have.

[Mitch]

Am I The Joy Behar. Who am I on the View?

[Tiger Weiger]

I think you are.

[Mitch]

I wish I was the whoopee.

[Tiger Weiger]

I think you are the whoopee.

[Amelia]

Fuck.

[Mitch]

Yes.

[Tiger Weiger]

I'm like, kind of like, who, like, who does most of the hosting? Because that's kind of my role. Maybe I am. Maybe it's a Joy Behar. I just don't know who, like, kind of runs the show.

[Amelia]

I don't know the View. Like, the View.

[Mitch]

All right. We don't have time for people to Google the View.

[Tiger Weiger]

I, I think Jake is probably wrong, but it's fun to, to try to figure out how he's right because there's

[Julian Stern]

just so loose terms of, like, how you can categorize all foods all around the world until, like, four different groups. It just feels like a little. It feels slightly insulting.

[Tiger Weiger]

It's a little insulting. And I think also when you start saying using a word like sandwich as one of the base categories instead of say noodle rules, it's. It perhaps is a little bit, you know, west centric, but, you know, that's naturally going to be your lens if you grew up in. In the western world. Anyway, if you have a question or comment about the world of chain restaurants, you can email us at.

[Mitch]

Feedbackirdfuck.com cares about the categories.

[Tiger Weiger]

Man, I was wrapping up the show.

[Mitch]

I know, but I just, I'm just agreeing with you. I'm agreeing with you.

[Tiger Weiger]

I wonder what the few, what the fewest number of categories you can get to get to like, to classify all food.

[Mitch]

All right, wrap up.

[Tiger Weiger]

Maybe six.

[Mitch]

Six. Six is the answer.

[Tiger Weiger]

We can figure out the sinister six. Six. Oh, wait, I had something else I was going to say.

[Mitch]

What?

Wee Man Jeff grabbed me from the back of the head and threw a punch.

[Julian Stern]

The whole bar just stopped and wanted

[Tiger Weiger]

to kill me and some of the crew that's been with us from the beginning. I had to share a room with this guy. I left a nice surprise in the

[Julian Stern]

toilet for him every time. Apparently, he.
