That's right. I guarantee whenever you watch this, it's absolutely 100% alive. Yeah. Yeah, it definitely won't be three months from now, so... Yeah, we're, like, uploading more now. Not though? We just have, like, a catalog of videos. It's summer, so we're probably going to upload, like, one more episode a month than we usually would. So that'll be one episode a month. Correct. Be ready for that. That's actually what we're doing. We uploaded March, and then April, and then May.
00:00:53
Speaker
Yeah, it's gonna come out in June now. Yeah. We're getting closer. We're getting faster. Just a little bit. Yeah, I like how before we were actually much faster and now we're like super late. Yeah. Well, we started it before we became men and once you become men, you become slow. Responsibility. Yeah. Yeah. Jobs. Because with great power, you know.

Yeah, when Grey Power comes, dead family members.
Disappointment with Jack Harlow's New Album
00:01:16
Speaker
There's a new Jack Harlow album from Alex. Correct. Did that come out since the last episode? It did, yeah. Well, the last episode... Would you guys like to discuss it? The last episode we talked about first class. Yeah. I don't know what that means. It was one song. It's a single. Yeah. But that single was on the album. It was the single for the album. And then now, he released the whole album.
00:01:37
Speaker
And as an avid Jack Harlow fan who is extremely excited for this album, I can honestly and genuinely say I was very, very disappointed.
00:01:47
Speaker
Oh yeah dude, I got like a dissertation on why this album sucks. I'm gonna go through it. Like I got an essay, look at this. I got like an essay on why this album sucks. This is a 10 minute segment. Oh dude, it's not a 10 minute segment, my friend. It's an 11 minute segment. Okay, we're gonna go a little bit over here. So we will have a YouTube video up soon about this very specific topic. Yes, there's not gonna be any footage, it's just gonna be like a black screen with us talking.
00:02:12
Speaker
Maybe a cartoon here or there, if you feel like. Yeah, this is like stick figures. So I want to start off by saying that the album had a lot of hype. Like I remember seeing like pictures of people taking like, you know, like the billboards, like he had like a billboards all across like the Midwest. Yeah. Of like the album cover and like May 6th, it's gonna be crazy. This is the first time I listened to a Jack Hall album, like when it first came out.
00:02:40
Speaker
And I was thoroughly disappointed. I was so upset. I listened to, what was his first one? That's what they all say? Well, that's his first professional album. There was a couple parts that I liked. I just didn't really like...
00:02:57
Speaker
This is some part. I'm not a huge fan of rap style. He's just like has this like weird way of rhyming He has to rhyme everything. He's like a two-year-old. He has to write and every sentence he ends has to rhyme I don't understand that it's just it's so his rhyming scheme is Yeah, it literally is really yeah, it is so it's it's just annoying Yeah
00:03:20
Speaker
But the second album I got into because of first class and then there's Nail Tech which are two that he like released ahead of time just like get the hype up so like okay this is this is nice so I got into it first track and you could tell like his like beat making is pretty good I'm gonna say it right now like his instrumental stuff is pretty good and he starts speaking and then I'm immediately pulled out because his lyrics
00:03:45
Speaker
our back play the first one play the first song okay we legally cannot do that yeah it's true yeah i'll read i'll read some lyrics yeah yeah uh come home how can they get worse than the examples you gave last episode where you talked about that's what i thought very specific and um
00:04:07
Speaker
So a couple a lot of his lyrics in this album at least talked about how like famous he is and how he's gotten like a lot of Like I don't know how money is yeah, but how amazing he is and how he has a lot of bitches And all that it's just kind of his whole thing and I get that when new like new artists come up They're like super like Lil Nas X did that a lot like he talked about old town road a lot like in this second one was actually a
00:04:34
Speaker
Popular in comparison what's poppin was pretty big. Yeah, it was and at least he's not At least he's not referencing what's popping like over and over like Lil Nautics will put something about he will
00:04:49
Speaker
So yeah, the first track itself is kind of like an intro and it kind of gets into a lot of like, again, like how from the first album he's gotten much more like famous and all that stuff. And then how when he comes back to his hometown, like everyone like recognizes him and they're like, oh yeah, it's Jack Harlow. Like before people didn't know him and now everyone knows him type thing.
00:05:12
Speaker
And then I like how he calls himself Young Jack.
Young Harlezi Review and Album Critique
00:05:14
Speaker
It's over and over. Like, I think he's trying to find like a name. He's trying to find his name. He calls himself Young Jack and the second song is called Young Harlezi. Yeah.
00:05:21
Speaker
Which I don't know if it's like a... It's a play on Wheezy. Like Wheezy out of here and Yeezy. Yeah, like Kanye's nickname is Yeezy. So he calls himself Harlezy. Because he's Harlow. Yeah, I don't know. That's pretty bad. It's pretty bad. I liked Young Harlezy though. The song? Yeah, I liked the second half. Once Snoop Dogg came in.
00:05:45
Speaker
You mean for like five seconds? Snoop Dogg was a hidden feature for about five seconds. For like five seconds? I think that was the best part of the song. I wasn't a huge fan of that song, but I mean... I liked it. I liked the second part. The first part was not very good. I think that's the main problem with the album is that every song is kind of segmented. It literally just completely switches halfway in.
00:06:09
Speaker
It's pretty cool the first time because it's like novelty like he does like a beat switch and you're like oh this is nice and after that he does on every other song and you're like okay this is not cool anymore. Especially when like for example Poison which is the one with Lil Wayne where it's a love song and then halfway through it literally just changes into your average like trap song where it's just like
00:06:30
Speaker
Yeah, like it goes from a love song to that and it just doesn't make sense. I mean like you have like I want to say Jack has a smooth voice but like it's his voice and then I don't know if you've heard Lil Wayne but he has this like little kid voice and then there's a bunch of autotune on top of it.
00:06:49
Speaker
Like that and that's how I love song so you get it is this stark contrast between like a normal person singing and then just Auto-generated like computer voice. It's really weird. And then you had the song with Pharrell Williams on it. Oh Yeah, okay. So really and here's the thing, right?
00:07:06
Speaker
He's on the song that talks about how he's a movie star that has a lot of sex with people. My whole problem is, he should have switched the features. That would have made both the songs go way better. Honestly, he misuses his features so badly. That's my problem. He has some pretty high tier people. He has Justin Timberlake, he has Drake, he had Lil Wayne, he had Pharrell Williams, Snoop.
00:07:31
Speaker
So he had one feature on like each song? No, he had like six or seven. Yeah. So he had a really good selection of features and they all are like high class people. Even Justin Timberlake was like really good. But then you kind of get back to Jack Harlow's thing and Justin Timberlake's like part is really good. I think the best part of it. Well, he is a good singer. He is. Yeah. And he has like the best bars on there. Like he's not even a rapper, but he has like some really good songs. Were he raps? No, no, he's rap. He's just like,
00:07:58
Speaker
No, I mean like in the song does he rap or does he sing? He sings, but like the stuff that he's saying is pretty good. You know what I mean? You said he had bars. It's a good flow. I would say yeah, it's flow and bars mean like the stuff he's saying is pretty nice, but he's not rapping anything. Um, but yeah, I think He's going through his list right now. I am I'm going through everyone. I'm going through a lot of it. So, um
00:08:23
Speaker
I'm going to say that because this is the second album, I'll cut out a little bit of slack because I think he's trying to find his groove. I think that's the big thing with Jack Harlow. But the problem is he found a really good groove on the first album and he doesn't use it. He didn't continue it. Yeah, he did. I feel like a lot of songs on here were really similar to his thing on Industry Baby with Lil Nas X. He kind of says this like,
00:08:44
Speaker
thing where he's just talking about a bunch of random stuff. Nothing really fits the theme he's going with. But also the album has no theme. When you listen to an album, we were talking about Silasonic. Silasonic is an album about just being suave, even though you're getting girls left and right and you can easily turn it into a random song by fucking people.
00:09:04
Speaker
It's like, it's smooth, you know what I mean? And the theme is all about that. There's songs about getting girls, and there's a song about having a girl, and she's annoying, and how you're smoking out the window, you know what I mean? There's a bunch of songs like that. This album doesn't have... It's almost like it's a story. It's like one long story together. Yeah, yeah, yeah, basically. This album doesn't have that, so your cover song's different. Every song has a different vibe. Even some of the songs have different vibes from each other, like halfway through.
00:09:32
Speaker
And that's one thing that I respect on the first album, which is it actually had some sort of theme like in the middle. I think... I think Way Out also had a little bit of that.
00:09:48
Speaker
Way Out was more with Face of My City, I would say. Those were more intense ones. You had half of the songs were intense. Your average, I'm famous rap, yada yada. And then the other half were smooth, love songs, stuff like that. And they all fit really well. This one just doesn't fit, and none of them are good on their own, other than the singles.
Jack Harlow's Personality vs Music
00:10:12
Speaker
Yeah, the thing is that Jack Harlow is, if you've ever seen a video of him, we talked about this last time, he's a really charismatic person. The way he talks and the way he acts, his manners and stuff are really smooth. And you kind of get attached to him. You're kind of like, oh yeah, I want to listen to what he's saying and stuff. He has a really nice way of talking. When he's on podcasts and stuff, he talks really well, but you don't see that in the songs. In the songs, he just seems like a f**k boy. He doesn't really have any sort of...
00:10:36
Speaker
class yeah yeah he loses all of that when he's rapping i don't understand how he does that it's just so annoying and this album shows it off even more he just has none of that it's so annoying because i think that's the one thing that he could really like grow with and become like really popular if he follows that so if he matches he needs to match his vibe is just so off from what he raps about i think this album was him trying to make like your common
00:11:01
Speaker
rap album which is just like basic and not like his own style because the first album he made was his style this one's kind of just like trying to appeal to like what everyone likes and no one liked it as a result because he doesn't know how to do that i would say i think if he stayed to his own way
00:11:18
Speaker
Like, he had some good songs. I think Dua Lipa was good. Like A Blade of Grass and State Fair were Jack Harlow type songs, I would say. Yeah, that's true. But, like, Poison, I Got a Shot, Movie Star, I'd Do Anything to Make You Smile, we're not good.
00:11:38
Speaker
I think the ones that you listed all have a really good beat. The instruments
Fast Food Tier List Discussion
00:11:44
Speaker
are really nice in the background. But it's just what he's saying. I think you know what he's talking about in the song, I Do Anything To Make You Smile. I think we can all assume that he's talking about... When a song is titled, I Do Anything To Make You Smile, what do you think the song is about?
00:12:02
Speaker
Yeah, and being nice and genuine and it has a nice ring to it. Like a Bruno Mars type song. That's what I was expecting. The song starts off because I'd do anything to make you smile, bitch. I was like, this is not what I was expecting. This is not what I was expecting.
00:12:18
Speaker
And it's just, it's not good. There's a line from that song that's so annoying. I Got A Shot is the worst song on that album. Oh, for sure. I Got A Shot is the worst song. He says on the song, I'd do anything to make you smile. He says, you my little muse, get these lyrics all for you. And then I sing him like an Ed Sheeran song to you, because I love the shape of you. That's not bad. That's not bad. The point is, it's a corny line. It's so corny.
00:12:48
Speaker
I don't know. I have no words. I'm saying this album is a 4 out of 10. I give it a 4. There's some good parts of it, but it's very few. A niche little music rating industry gave it a 2.9 out of 10 today. And they've tore this man apart. It's not even the album. They just tore Jack Hollow. What did he give the first album?
00:13:15
Speaker
I don't know. I don't know if they gave him the first album. Is that just making any videos? It's interesting. From what I saw, the people who reviewed this album and gave it really low, gave the first one like maybe a seven or something. Which I don't know if it's like they're being nice because it's his first album, like first professional album. But yeah, this was... Other than the singles that came out prior, I think the original songs from this album, there's like three good ones.
00:13:45
Speaker
Yeah, maybe the state if you're really pushing yeah, I like poison when it first came out and then I just did not If you want to make that album good you switch the features of Pharrell Williams and little Wayne Yeah, you take the second half of poison out you make it its own song because that was a good part and if you want to make do a leap a 10 out of 10 you put future on it and
00:14:08
Speaker
Bro, yeah, honestly, if you put future on this having having rappers who just are known for being like womenizers woman women womanizers Yeah, that entire that song that song was literally a shout-out that says I want to have sex with Dua Lipa Yeah, that's what the whole song is about. Yeah, I liked it. He's like I want to have something more than a feature with Dua Lipa Yeah, yeah
00:14:31
Speaker
Anyways, yeah, that's my final verdict. I'm still gonna buy the concert tickets to go listen to him again. Because he's gonna play more than just that album. And every other song other than that album is good.
00:14:46
Speaker
I think if you were to do a third album, he probably will of course Yeah, he's gonna yeah, I think it'll be faster than the year it took It's been two years since his last album. Oh, you're sorry 2020 I just remember when warzone let you like one of the Hawks stuff like music you could play was what's poppin I remember that that's really funny. Yeah But yeah, this was
00:15:10
Speaker
really weird and then we're gonna keep it really short because yeah it's really Kendrick Lamar also dropped his first song i promise it like my first song well it's first time after five years oh he hasn't dropped a single song by himself he's on features Connor just hit this really heavy sigh that i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry five minutes i promise five minutes after five years kendrick lamar dropped his first song not a feature
00:15:36
Speaker
and it's really good. I'm not going to go too into detail because I don't know if it's, do you know if it's a part of his new album or just a single? I'm not sure. I know that. I bet you just to hype up his album. Yeah. It's got a music video. If it's a part of his album, then I'm very excited. If it's not a part of his album, I'm still really excited, but yeah.
00:16:00
Speaker
Sorry, I'm not only a
Dentist Story and Fast Food Debate
00:16:02
Speaker
rap fan. All right as all the music. I know but this is yeah. All right. Yeah, I probably that's it That's what they all say four out of ten could have been better. I'm giving the Kendrick song a 8 out of 10 That was nice. Also the music video. He does like a weird face swap with OJ OJ Simpson Kanye nipsey Kobe
00:16:27
Speaker
Will Smith. Will Smith. You gotta watch it. Okay, you should just put it really quick. No, it's fine, it's fine. We'll do it in a minute. Okay, yeah. It's just hilarious. He just like, he like covers his face and he turns into Kobe. You're like, what the f*** is going on here? It's so weird. Okay. But yeah. So what are we talking about today? Honestly, I don't have a topic. We can just talk about random stuff. I thought the tier list was awesome. We could do that. I have a story really quick though. Yeah.
00:16:57
Speaker
We spent an hour looking up tier lists. Sorry, I have a really quick story. I was trying to transition, like, what are we talking about today? I was pointing at the tier list and he was like, I don't know. Fine, fine, fine. Fine, all right. I'm just gonna go kill myself. Well, you know, I just found out a great way to kill reps. Yeah, of course, yeah. And that's why I gotta finish my story before I die.
00:17:21
Speaker
Um, so I went to dentist. Wow. As a medical scribe? No, as a patient. I go to the dentist like once a year for like cleanings and stuff. It should be twice a year. I know, but whatever. I'm not paying that much. Whatever. Uh, so I go to the dentist. I went like two weeks ago before like my trip.
00:17:44
Speaker
I know I just really weird track record where every time I go to the dentist I have to get like fillings I don't know why it's I I promise I keep my teeth clean I swear to God I do like since I was 10 years old I'm gonna go into this dentist like 10 years now I I brush twice a day I floss twice a day I have mouthwash all all the shenanigans I even bought like those
00:18:06
Speaker
He sold me like a specialty toothpaste or something, I even bought that. A specialty toothpaste? What does that mean? It's like, I don't know, like anti-calvity. The one that five out of five dentists did. Yeah, yeah. Oh, the good stuff. The good stuff, yeah. So I go to dentists this time, and you know, they do the cleaning, and he looks at me and he's like, yeah, I'm going to do a filling, whatever. I'm like, all right, fine, whatever. So I go, I try to book the appointment, but he's booked until August. And I don't want to wait until August. I just want to get this thing done before my trip. Right.
00:18:34
Speaker
so i go i ask them but they're booked out i'm like great so my dad goes to a different dentist but for like his insurance is different and they accept his and it's nearby so he's like you come to my dentist i'm like already fine so i go to his dentist and he does his checkup before he does the cabbie thing and he looks at my teeth and he goes
00:18:55
Speaker
You have no cavities in your teeth. He's like, I think your old dentist is a crook. Because from what I can tell, based on how you're cleaning all this stuff, I don't think you've ever had cavities. This guy is just scamming you for money every single time. Oh my god. I'm like, what the f***? What? You've been scammed this whole time? Yeah, he's like, oh look at your teeth. It's really nice and stuff. I don't know how you're getting cavity feelings every single time, but I don't know. It's just like,
00:19:22
Speaker
Your teeth look fine. You don't need cavities, because you don't have any cavities. I'm like... I guess I need to find a new dentist. Dang. Was your old dentist's last name ending in Bird or Steen or things along those lines? I'm not gonna... I'm not gonna DOS. My old dentist, but...
00:19:41
Speaker
Let's just say he doesn't have a... He's lost one patient. That's what I'm gonna say. You could sue him. Or no? No, because like in his... I think they have like some NDA forms where like sometimes they perform a procedure that may or may not be needed. And I think feelings are going to that thing. Like you don't actually... Every time. Consider like preventative. Yeah, that's how he gets away with it. I'm pretty sure. Gets away? He's like a con man. I mean he did kind of get away with it. Yeah.
00:20:11
Speaker
My guys is munching. Are you good, bro? We're in the subway and everything. He's running for his sandwich. I was trying to make it low speed so that, you know, I didn't go because I had my sandwich in the morning. It's really weird being in the same room because I forget that like.
00:20:30
Speaker
We can actually interact with each other? Yeah. Five minutes ago, how to kill Ratman. Well, I was learning how to interact.
00:20:42
Speaker
All right, so we're doing a tier list. We've got a couple of tier lists lined up. I didn't see Lego games. So we're going to start off with something I think everyone knows, fast food. Especially here in the States. I'm pretty sure fast food. There's nobody in any country outside of the United States has fast food. Well, some of them aren't in other countries. Some of them aren't in some parts of
00:21:09
Speaker
the United States. McDonald's is everywhere. The Donald's is definitely everywhere. I sometimes forget that 75% of our viewer base is from either Africa or the Middle East area. Shout out to you guys. Shout out to you guys. You keep this thing going. Hold on, let me check the stats. You can keep doing that. You keep us going. For example, In-N-Out is in two states, right? In the US. No. All of the West Coast and some of the Midwest. But there's some states that don't have it. Yeah, most states don't have it. It's mostly the coastal.
00:21:40
Speaker
I think they aren't getting one in Idaho or Indiana. Let's go! Shout out to Indiana and Idaho. They just started getting one in Texas, I think. So they reached that moment. They're going. They're in the long stretch of the law.
00:21:54
Speaker
Alright, let's get started. It's the simple S to D tier. There's not anything crazy. There's no triple S's, there's no I want to stick my meat inside of the sandwich. I think we should add an F tier. You want to add an F tier? Yeah, I think that would make it... There's definitely some bad ones. There's definitely some bad ones. Alignment chart, perhaps? Not a robo. F.
00:22:18
Speaker
i'll make it yeah pay f to pay f press f to pay respects fail sucks to suck tier all right we'll call it f though we'll just call it f make sure it's red well the s is red okay so blue yeah we'll go blue all right for sure all right the kbc order all right we'll just go in the order okay first up we'll go arby's arby's arby's is kind of a weird
00:22:46
Speaker
They have a lot of variety that a lot of restaurants do not cater to. However, roast beef. However, it is Arby's. I don't think you can... I feel like it's got to be more popular in like central line of the states because that's what I see it most is like after I get past Oklahoma, that's when I start seeing lots of Arby's. But the curly fries are good.
00:23:15
Speaker
Yeah, their horsey sauce is also pretty good. Yeah, they're horseradish. I do love horseradish. As a person who doesn't eat RVs regularly, I went to RVs once and their curly fries were actually not bad, but I would say for us, region-wise, Jack-in-the-box curly fries are
00:23:34
Speaker
equally as good as Curly fries. Yeah, they do. And it's bomb. Arby's fries, Arby's are better. Dude, you guys are like 30 miles from an Arby's. I feel like the seasoning on Arby's fries are good. I don't think we should judge them by how far away they are. Yeah, this is true. I feel like that's completely an objective. Okay, I'm just gonna say the Curly fries are not bad, but their commercials are pretty cool. I personally like their French dip sandwiches. That's like the only thing I get there.
00:24:02
Speaker
The only thing I've ever had there is like the, uh, the ham and sweet. It comes with the au jus. They, they like sauce this. They like take the, the dip or the, the like meat juice and then they spray it over the sandwich. Meat juice? No, it comes with the au jus and you dip it in. Oh, okay. It's gals? I like that. I think that tastes good. Thank you for letting me down. Plus the roux, I think they have a roux in there. And last I checked, that was alright. It's not done yet. But other than that, I haven't had much
00:24:27
Speaker
What they had because I don't trust our brilliant art I agree. It's very much a mystery me see or do you I would give it a I would give it deep The variety I feel like should push it up to us You could put in between can't you
00:24:45
Speaker
What? No, you can't, you can't. I mean, you couldn't make a new tier. In between C and D. This is a super long tier. It's like you're starting to keep adding tiers. Yes, in between S and A. In between S and A and S and A. It's like C.5. Welcome back to the Indecisive podcast. Burger King. I get Burger King and D. Everything they have is so dry. The only redeeming quality of Burger King is their like chicken fries.
00:25:15
Speaker
No, yeah, those are good. Those are good. I actually heard their fries are pretty good. They're chicken soup. Their fries are good. Oh, their normal fries are good? Their Plano fries? And their food? I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what. No, their fries, like fries at Burger King. I think we should bump it up to a C purely on the fact of how cheap they are.
00:25:30
Speaker
Well, that's going to be almost all of these restaurants. Wait, you can guess? These restaurants are pretty cheap. A lot of Burger King is really cheap. You can get a burger for like $2 sometimes. Even a whopper? Not a whopper. There is also a meal that has staved off my hunger for so long. So every year, I used to go to Mexico. And on the way, we'd stop. And there was a Burger King. And they had this $5 meal. It was like two sandwiches, fries.
00:26:00
Speaker
What do they call it? Chicken nuggets, a drink. For five dollars? Five dollars. Like a Wendy's Big Bag? Like a Wendy's Big Bag. But it's got two... Previously, the four for four, when it was a superior meal. They still have that. No, they don't. Yeah, they do. It's like five dollars now. The four for four? No, it's two separate meals, because it has two different things. There's a four for four, and then there's the five dollar biggie bag. They're two separate items.
00:26:25
Speaker
I didn't do it like that, bro. He's like playing the flu on me. I didn't do it. He's like, I did that. I was trying to do this. And then he just caressed my hand. No, he's got the issue. He did that to me too. Bro, I love the audience. They just made loving hand contact with each other. Yeah, basically, Jacob had hand sex with Connor. OK. Yeah, that was a great way to say it. Little Caesars. I'm all right with keeping Burger King at D. Yeah, I think Burger King can be D.
00:26:54
Speaker
I would switch those too, but what do you think? What? What do you think? No one has to pee. I don't know what a burger game, bro. Okay. Little Caesars, B. Little Caesars, B. I think it's either going to have to be a high C. It's a C. It's a C. It's a C. No, bro. It's definitely above Arby's. Because, I mean, they have the, what is it, $5 hot and ready? The hot and ready, they're hot, they're cheap, and they're hot. What kind of pizza place doesn't have a hot pizza? What kind of pizza? No, I mean the fact that you- Pizza pizza cooks them fresh.
00:27:24
Speaker
Yeah. No, but here's the thing. You walk in, you go, let me get that pizza. You walk out. You go into Domino's, you go, let me get that pizza. There are convenience. 20 minutes. Seriously, doing it on convenience or taste? And they're cheap. Well, both. And they're cheap. It's an objective. To be fair, they did have
00:27:41
Speaker
The Batman Calzone. Oh yeah! Batman Calzoni? Yeah, that's so good. I didn't have that, but it looked cool. I didn't have it either, but it looked... They have the cheapest sodas out of any pizza place. You can get the two liters. Yeah, but their logo sucks ass. Their what? Their logo.
00:27:59
Speaker
Really? Pretty dumb. It's a guy with chest hair. It's old school. It's old school. It's old school. They have not changed it. It could use a revamp. If it revamps, I'll give it a beat. I will say, the guy having chest hair is a little bit uncomfortable to me, a consumer of food. It's a Caesar. What's he gonna do? Fall off his chest. Caesar wax.
00:28:22
Speaker
What? I said what I said. I'm saying B tier. I'm saying B tier. We can move it down. We can move these later. We can move these later. No, no, no. Once these are set in stone, they are set in stone. Yeah. C for Caesar. We do not go back on our word. C for Caesar. C for Caesar. We'll keep it at a high C. Carl's Jr. A. I think we should keep it at a high C. Carl's Jr. A.
00:28:44
Speaker
Their commercials make them A2. Yeah, honestly, yeah dude. Cause their food... Their food is good. Their food makes them B2. Their food is good. The fact they can't decide if Carl's younger or Hardee's would kind of annoy me. I'm so confused by that. It's the same, but they have a different name in like the eastern part of the world. Is there like another Carl's Jr. that's like a... I wish I could tell you. Auto Body Shop and then just like...
00:29:13
Speaker
I'm sorry, I'm deaf. Yeah, I would say, I was actually wrong about the big meal that was at Conrose Jr. It wasn't Burger King, so Burger King doesn't have anything, but it was wrong. It's like a fried chicken. The Burger King has nothing.
00:29:27
Speaker
Alright fine, I'll give it a B. I'll give it a B. I would personally give it an A. I don't think it's an A. Compared to what I'm seeing on the rest of this list, I think... There's some really good A tier stuff on that. There's going to be some stuff. You can see it right here. The crow trigger's not on the same level as some of these others. The next one. I'm pretty sure the next one's going to be an A. Chick-fil-A? Chick-fil-A? I would put it on S tier. I would put it on S tier.
00:29:51
Speaker
Great service, great food, great drinks, great sauces. As a customer, I don't go there. As a customer for you guys is annoying that it's not open on Sundays. Yes. Well, it's simply because of the fact that you want to eat it.
00:30:03
Speaker
yeah but yeah okay i have had multiple occasions where i'm with my dad but i respect that i respect that they don't do it but as a as a customer sometimes i want chicken on sundays yeah you you like your sunday chicken yeah i've heard i've heard complaints from people saying that chick-fil-a's chicken is like dry but i've never had that i've never had a dry chicken yeah they've always been perfectly yeah and seasoned very well and seasoned very well
00:30:31
Speaker
Their fries are good. You can get the waffle order. Actually, I'm not that big of a fan of their fries. Really? I do like their fries. They're either over salted or unsalted enough. I do think that's a problem. It becomes a bad fry when they're unsalted and then they've been on the heat lamp too much.
00:30:55
Speaker
Tasteless yeah, that's what chick-fil-a fries are and there's like and they're so big so you have to eat a giant ball of mush every time Yeah, and you have to like you can't like tear it off cuz that's like no weird. So you just gotta like fold a giant piece of
00:31:12
Speaker
a potato ball into your mouth. I will say the texture is nice because there's ridges. It's an interesting and good idea. I don't think it's executed well simply because fries are usually hard to get down because potatoes are thick. People forget that potatoes are dense and it's hard to fry them. Have you guys had their biology? I think that's the only bad thing about it. Their shakes are really good. Their lemonade shake or whatever.
00:31:39
Speaker
Their lemonade freezer. Whatever it's called. That is probably one of my favorite dairy beverages. There's dairy in it? It's ice cream. Oh, I guess it is. It's a milkshake. I thought it was just like frozen lemonade. No, it's lemonade. It's not slush. It's not slush. It has dairy. Have you guys had their mac and cheese?
00:32:05
Speaker
Their mac and cheese is very good. I've had their mac and cheese on four different accounts and each one is so different from everyone. Really? I had one on the ASU campus, I had one in California, I had one
00:32:19
Speaker
The other two were like different places, but they're all like really weird. They're super inconsistent. Sometimes it's good. Sometimes it's like eh. And honestly, it's really hard to mess up mac and cheese, but they somehow have it in place. I feel like mac and cheese is a weird menu item. It is. For a place that specializes in chicken, having mac and cheese is kind of weird. It's like in and out. But for a consumer like you, that's probably...
00:32:42
Speaker
But I think the reason In-N-Out has coffee is due to it not having changed its menu. Yeah, that's true. I'm just saying it's kind of... In-N-Out is a diner. It is a diner. It's posing to be a diner, yes. Posing? I mean, it has been for the last... It's now in the modern-day era, and it's true, I guess. It's like Ruby's diner. You haven't been to Ruby's diner?
00:33:06
Speaker
There's a Ruby Steiner here. In next to where we are. It's like a slice of it down here. It's like a portion. A section. It's an outlet. It's an outlet. And right next to it's like frescoes. It is very good. It is very good. Ruby's is pretty good. I've not had it so maybe we should all go. We could go right now, record the card.
00:33:29
Speaker
Even even Chipotle a tier bro eight here. No dude is good for a certain part I would want to give it a tier but they keep raising their prices to a really extreme extent And the food is not as good as what they're trying to sell it. Yes, and their guac has fallen down quality. It's like pay for it's two extra dollars for guacamole
00:33:59
Speaker
No. Yeah, you do. Yeah, Chipotle is just a huge money grab now. Not only that. Like a bowl is $10. Not only that, they have... Here are your options at Chipotle. Bowl or burrito?
00:34:12
Speaker
That is it. No tacos. No. No tacos. I mean, you can technically do tacos. Kind of, but like on the menu, they have hardly any variety when you think about it. It's like you're going to get a similar thing every single time. Well, I mean... I mean, how many different ways can you prepare the food? Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty fast food. I think it's because it is the, it's the modular design. Same way as Subway. Yeah. You only have... Yeah. Are you going to go blend this with Subway with the sandwich or Subway without the bread?
00:34:43
Speaker
I like how the guy who gave Chick-fil-A an S tier and he only eats the same dish every single time is now saying that you're eating the same thing at Chick-fil-A. I mean, Chick-fil-A is just a sandwich. I don't get the same thing every time. At Chick-fil-A? Chick-fil-A, you got a chicken sandwich or you got nuggets? Yeah, that's it. You have different types of chicken sandwiches. You can get the spicy, you can get the... That's salsa. What the... Salsa is... I see you. Do you even order the spicy ones?
00:35:13
Speaker
You can get like a crispy chicken sandwich. That's a McDonald's. My personal choices affect my opinion. I don't know. It's just like, it's a bowl or burrito. You know what I mean? You can't win for not wanting the other things that are on its menu.
00:35:36
Speaker
But I don't think that's a negative. I think the actual negative aspects of Chipotle are that the food is really good. I don't think you get enough of it for what they're trying to charge you for, which is like $10 a meal per person. At that point, you might as well just go to a sit down restaurant or even a real diner. But I think the food quality is actually really good. It's definitely kept its way down. Minus the fact that they used to give people a cola.
00:36:06
Speaker
Ah, but they're romaine lettuce. Yeah, that's why you don't order that anymore. Yeah. Also, if you ever thought I would just say, Qdoba is a better version. It is. I was just about to say that. Qdoba is so good. It's underrated. Same thing. They have ground beef, which I like. They have ground beef. Ground beef at Qdoba is really good. And their tortillas are like, I don't know. I like Qdoba's tortillas are better.
00:36:29
Speaker
All ASU's at Qdoba. You can get way more. And if you have extra for double rice, or double beans, I'll go. I think, yeah, Qdoba would be... It's a goodbye picture for you. The next step is Domino's. I only hear extremes when it comes to Domino's. Domino's is a love-hate relationship. I really like their crust.
00:36:57
Speaker
I do too. I like the fact that it's kind of oily. They season it. I like garlic oil or something. I don't like their crust as much as pizza, but I like their sauce. I like their sauce a lot. Domino's a good sauce. Whatever. It's not a dry pizza. It's not a dry pizza. I think Domino's has an experience that out pizzas die. Yo! They're coming for you. Yo! Oh shit! Don't don't don't don't!
00:37:24
Speaker
But you get a Domino's Pizza, you open it up, the crust is nice, they've got the little packets of parmesan, but their parmesan is really good. They load you up with those packets of whatever you want, the cheese and the peppers. And you put that all on there, and then it's amazing. Their dipping sauce is really good too. You go to Pizza Hut.
00:37:47
Speaker
They give you, like, two packets. Oh, also, you can't, no, no, you can't get packets anymore. I literally got a pizza, I got pizza the other day. You had to buy, like, their shaker. They don't give packets anymore. No way. That's what I wonder about. Those monsters. Yeah, it's bad. Did you go over to Domino's and get some, get some? Yeah, they give packets. They give, like, a bunch. You're like, you want packets? Just take a box? Take the boxes! It's like Taco Bell with your sauce. Literally, they don't, yeah. Except Taco Bell's a more open, you just pick as many sauces as you want.
00:38:13
Speaker
I would give it like a beat. It's not crazy but as a pizza place I would give it an A but an overarching fast food place probably a B. Yeah I think it's I think it's above Carlos Jr below Chipotle. Yeah you're probably gonna want Chipotle more than Domino's Pizza at the end of the day. Domino's Pizza is like I've been up all night
00:38:38
Speaker
There's an ad plan. Oh, okay. I heard talking about Red Robin. Yeah. Red Robbins. It's Red Robin. Well, Red Robin sucks to suck. Really? I said, I'm kidding. No. Dairy Queen. Uh, depends on what you're talking about on their menu. Are you getting food? Yeah.
00:38:57
Speaker
I actually just got food at Dairy Queen like last night. How was it? Horrible. I was hungry and I did not want ice cream, but I was with the small group that they wanted ice creams. They wanted Dairy Queen, but I wasn't hungry for ice cream. So I got a hot dog there and it was not good.
00:39:13
Speaker
Yeah. You're a big hot dog guy, right? I do like hot dogs. I like hot dogs, too. The best hot dog I've ever had was a Costco hot dog. Costco has amazing hot dogs. And the onion spinner, bro? The onion spinner. It was golden age when they used to give out the sauerkraut as well for the hot dogs, but they don't do that anymore. I love sauerkraut. Nobody else likes sauerkraut. Dude, it's so good. It's smelly.
00:39:37
Speaker
But it tastes so good. It tastes so good. And it's right. Plus, they don't give you anything on your hot dog. They don't give you anything? It's just no onion, no diced onion. You can either get a plain hot dog or a chili dog. And at Dairy Queen, I didn't really want to go for the chili dog. Yeah, no. It's an understandable decision. It's just weird to think that a place that makes ice cream and all that stuff also has that type of... It's not like Sonic. I feel like Sonic has reputation because it has both.
00:40:06
Speaker
Dairy Queen, in my, when I think of Dairy Queen, I think of ice cream. I don't think of food. Because you're thinking dairy. Yeah, dairy, it's not hot dog queen. Yeah, yeah, we know a few people like that. Whoa, whoa, shots fired. But anyways. But here's the thing though.
00:40:25
Speaker
Dairy Queen's ice cream is unbelievably expensive now. We got a small ice cream cone and a small blizzard, because how much? Like 10 bucks? Yeah. You know what I miss? I miss their little dolly bars. The little circle bars. Yeah, they still have those.
00:40:42
Speaker
Except they're like in the fridge. Yeah, you have to get them in the fridge with the ice cream cakes. Yeah, with the ice cream cakes. Which is like such a weird thing to not be at a nice, like a dedicated ice cream. They're bliss at the time of bed too. The fact that it's in a fast food list means they're probably, they should probably grate the food as well. If we're talking, if the ice cream food. Because Basket Robbins isn't on this list and Basket Robbins only does ice creams.
00:41:08
Speaker
So we should probably, you know, we can't just say the ice cream is its saving grace. Cause it's ice cream is really good. If you take the ice cream away, it's a D. You have nothing. D for Dairy Queen. You're nothing without the ice cream. Yeah. Really low. Really low C. Below Arby's even. Below Arby's? I would give it a D. Or the high D. I'm playing with the C. It's either above Burger King or below Arby's.
00:41:38
Speaker
Yeah, I'd rather go to Dairy Queen than Burger King for food I put it in D But but if we if we want to include the ice cream, I think we kind of if we include the ice cream Actually, actually it should be sucks to suck in my opinion and then with the ice cream I'd say I
00:41:58
Speaker
C. I'm good with that. I'm good with that. Okay, Derek Lee's going to the bottom of C tier. Alright. Five guys, burger fries. Unfortunately, I have never had five guys. I'm going to five guys for the first time tomorrow. Did you get a plan? Yeah, so... Get ready to unhinge your jaw. Yeah, they're massive. I heard that...
00:42:24
Speaker
It is very good. You get a lot of food, but it's really expensive. It depends on what you get. The junior burgers, which are like a regular sized burger, they're like four or five bucks.
00:42:36
Speaker
And then if you want the big burger, it's like seven bucks. Their fries are really good. The Cajun ones are solid. I've had five guys' fries. Someone gave them to me from Leftovers, and they were really good. They hold up their taste for hours. But the fact that you have the ability to get so many toppings on a burger that isn't available in anything else on this list, or even most other burger places, it does make it worth the price if you do the works, which is what they call it. The customizability is incredible there.
00:43:05
Speaker
And their shakes are pretty good for five years. Pretty good. I usually like to go for the drinks. You can actually add stuff. The machines that you can mix flavors. That's in a lot of places. Is it like the Coke machine? Yeah, the Coke machine with the different flavors that you can mix. It's pretty good. I'll give an A tier, honestly. I would give five guys A tier too. It's not like S. Is it like crazy?
00:43:26
Speaker
It's fresh. You can taste it. You can see them making it. It's hot and it's ready, but it's not as convenient as... Oh, also, they tell you where the potatoes come from, which is really nice. Peanuts, too. You're forgetting what the peanuts throw. The peanuts are pea and nuts. It's a warehouse full of peanuts.
00:43:42
Speaker
With the free peanuts. And they're really good peanuts. Next up, I don't think we even need to argue with anyone. In and out, it is. It's not a conversation. In and out is S2. Sorry viewers, if you're not from the west coast or anywhere in the midwest, we're not delving into this at all or going into detail. The hours of memories we have in an out, bro. It is fresh. It is convenient. They're quick too. And it is good food. It is good food.
00:44:12
Speaker
good food and it's also modular you can get you can get extra like sauce and there's like grilled onion and like animal style fries
00:44:23
Speaker
Oh yeah. That's amazing. You can get cheese fries, you can get animal salad fries. Cheese fries. Animal fries, yeah. And cheese fries. Cheese and then also spread and grilled onion. Their ketchup is pretty good. All the same. Their what? Their ketchup. I don't know what they do to their ketchup. Am I the only
In-N-Out vs Other Chains
00:44:45
Speaker
one? There's like cocaine in their ketchup. Their ketchup is really good. It's so good. I don't know how. It's not chimes.
00:44:51
Speaker
There's only one sauce that I think, there's only one place that has better ketchup, but I think it's later on in this list, so we'll get to that later. And they give out the perfect amount of salt and pepper in their packets. It's not a flip. You do two salt and two pepper on your fries. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, because you get the fries unsalted. Yeah, okay, okay, so it's not on the list. The other place I was thinking isn't on the list. I was thinking of canes.
00:45:16
Speaker
Tanes is the only place that has better ketchup than In-N-Out. I've never had the ketchup. Holy ghost of our ketchup. It's got liquid crack, bro. Liquid crack. The thing about In-N-Out is I don't think they have a menu item that like...
00:45:31
Speaker
Henders them at all. No. No. No, I can't think of a single. I haven't tasted a good coffee. Okay. Well, I never get there early enough for it to be reasonable to have their coffee. Their seasonal hot cocoa is pretty good. Just saying that. They do. Yeah, it was. They do. On days they range.
00:45:49
Speaker
Yeah, they don't, you know. There they just burn. Everything's good. And their outfits are pretty cool. They got like the little diaper paper. They're like the safety pin. You know that huge safety pin, like this thick. The only thing about In-N-Out is if you work there. I've heard it's pretty intense. No, I bet. Well, because it's really popular. And also, you know, just like, if you want to get raises and like promoted, it takes a really long time. Their starting pay is pretty good. Yeah, their starting pay is really good.
00:46:17
Speaker
S-tier, easy. Easy S-tier. Easy S-tier. We don't even need to describe the food. I would say, when you eat it, it's even more, it's like even more fresh and like, re-vigorate? Just biggering. Vigorating? Just play no play no vigorating. Alright, and I think, I think the next place is also just a, we don't really have to talk about it, it's either D or F. Yeah, Jack in the Box?
00:46:42
Speaker
I would say it's above Burger King. It is definitely above Burger King. We'll give them the benefit of the doubt. I think they do all right with tacos. They're 99 cent tacos? Yeah.
00:46:53
Speaker
And they have the munchy meal. The munchy meal. Jack's munchy meal. They catered to their... They know. I've gone to Jack in the Box at like, if you go there at like one in the morning, nothing else is open. You are a ravenous creature. Jack in the Box tastes like heaven. That is the only time I can eat Jack in the Box. You gotta give him props for being... They know they're target audience. They know they're target audience. For good price. I feel like they're priced fairly.
00:47:20
Speaker
either drunk or high college. That's what it is. I think their low bar of quality has allowed them to stay cheap through these increasingly expensive times. Their breakers aren't awful.
00:47:33
Speaker
They're not the worst. Their shakes are bad. I've never. Their churros are decent. Their churros are decent. Half the menu items are trash. Next up on the menu. KFC. KFC. This is a conversation. This is a conversation. This is a conversation. I feel like they've fallen from grace. They have fallen from grace. I went there recently and I got like a chicken sandwich and like mac and cheese I think.
00:48:00
Speaker
That was like, yeah, this summer. And that was the most recent time I've been there. It just wasn't, wasn't great. Yeah, I like their idea because no other restaurant does fried chicken. Yeah. So they kind of have- It's a novel to you. No, but the way KFC does it, like they give you the chicken, the whole chicken, as opposed to Popeyes, you get like the breast usually and only the breast. Yeah.
00:48:27
Speaker
because you you know you want legs, you want thighs. I like meat and I want some thighs. Back in the olden days of like maybe 10 to 15 years ago they had really good quality and they were probably fairly priced. It was pretty fairly priced.
00:48:42
Speaker
Remember because we would get it for like Super Bowl night and we just get a KFC? Yeah, you can get a bucket of KFC. A bucket of a bucket of chicken. Now that's probably not feasible because it's like almost- There are no chickens left.
00:48:58
Speaker
KFC carried my family during peak covid times. I cannot lie my dad my older brother and I we used to feast on that stuff We just get the family bundle go go to town solid C. I yeah I can't I can't make an opinion on how they taste now because I haven't had it in so long But when they were good, they were good It was really heavy
00:49:21
Speaker
It was like this gross, muggy, warm feeling. I understand. I hate that sandwich. And it really ruined it for me. Well, maybe it's because you got the sandwich. I think their whole thing is that they do the chicken in pieces. I would say it's above Arby's. And they got good size. They got the mac and cheese and the potatoes. I don't think it's close to par with Arby's. But I would say it's better for sure. They're about the same. McDonald's. McDonald's.
00:49:51
Speaker
Triple S tier, baby. Oh, man. It switches between S tier and sucks to suck. Yeah.
00:50:04
Speaker
It's just... Right in the middle, right on the middle. Their breakfast is really good. Their hash browns. Their hash browns are amazing. Their pancakes are really good. I feel like their pancakes are really good. Pancakes are kind of... Well, I like to doubt them with the cereal. Depends on when and how you get them. You are more likely to get a better set of pancakes if it's in a rush.
00:50:33
Speaker
How does that make sense? Yeah, also, how are you supposed to know what's in a rush? When there's a giant bar of cars. Oh, oh, oh. I think that might be because people are eating more of them, so they're making more fresh. They're making more fresh. The ones that are sitting there, you have nine sets of pancakes at a time that are supposed to be ready. Well, if you go right as they open up. That's true. But do you want to go to McDonald's at 4 in the morning? Do you open at 4? Yeah. That just sounds disgusting. I don't know why you do that.
00:51:04
Speaker
Yeah, I woke up at four in the morning to get coffee. You know what? We should do like a coffee taste. We should go to a bunch of different restaurants and taste and check their coffee. Bro, we should go to the Grand Coffee in downtown. And we could make that an episode. Yeah. Vlog? Yeah, we should do that. We should vlog it. There's a couple coffee places in Scottsdale downtown in Glendale. We could just go to random coffee shops. Yeah. Can we take some coffee? Yeah. Back to the coffee. I think McDonald's actually produces a good coffee for the price that they sell it at. They do. They do.
00:51:33
Speaker
So the breakfast overall is really good. A lot of their lunch and dinner menus stuff is also pretty good. Their markup has been like 400% in the last five years that I don't think it makes it worth it. The burgers are still $1.59.
00:51:52
Speaker
Well, if you only order off the dollar menu, then yeah. But if you want the quarter pounder or the Big Mac, you're going to have to spend almost 12 bucks for like a meal. They're two for six right now. They are? Yeah. Which the Big Macs or the quarter pounder? The quarters. They're two for six and then you can turn them into meals for like 10. That's two quarter meals. This is two quarter McDonald's. This is two quarter meals. This is McDonald's we're talking about. Yeah, but like we're all starting quality.
00:52:18
Speaker
Yeah, we have to understand that if you do eat McDonald's frequently, you will die sooner. It's not like I eat there every day. I mean, but you work there. It's a little bit different. Yeah, you get immune. You get immunity because you make it sick. I'm actually sick of it. Like I can't eat it anymore. Yeah. Like. Yeah, I think.
00:52:41
Speaker
I think in moderation, McDonald's is very good because I do think whatever they put in them just makes their food somehow taste good when you know it's like horrible quality.
00:52:54
Speaker
cocaine. Yeah, that's the entire thing. I'm telling you right now, there is something in that cheese. That cheese just makes, if it's like freshly hot cheese, it's good. I think salt is one of the most addictive substances that is not an actually addictive substance. They call it salt. They call the stuff that they put on the burger, salt. It's not salt. It's like MSG. I think they put sugar on their fries too to get people to like. Salt, sugar, and caffeine are three of the most
00:53:23
Speaker
Addictive substances that like aren't actually like drugs So there's drug like they're like they are habit forming for caffeine. Yeah, caffeine is considered a drug since it alters your yeah, your brain But what I have different, but it's a story. Habit for the sugar is addictive. Sugar is like a couple carbons away from meth I don't want to just keep adding stuff to C tier. I think it's I think it's B

00:54:05
Speaker
Panda Express. Panda Pins B. Huh? No, I'll give it an A. Panda's B's. Oh, you know what? A. Having it available to me every day and having it eaten it every day, it gets old really quickly. It does. When I worked at, before I even went to college and had one like,
00:54:28
Speaker
three minutes away from me. I have one right next to my workplace, and I would go there almost every day. It gets old fast, but I would say the first few times it's just, especially when it's fresh, it's good. Probably not as good as Chipotle.
00:54:50
Speaker
better than Domino's. Yeah, we'll put it in the beet. I think the fact that you guys eat it so often means we know what we're talking about. I don't know. The once in a while I go there, it's a beet here, honestly. It's something like crazy. Oh, I would say beet. Yeah, but it's so heavy and dense that having it so often just makes it unhappy. Which is why I get the white rice instead of the fried rice, because the white rice is a little bit less heavy. It is, but I like the egg. Their sweet and sour sauce is pretty good.
00:55:26
Speaker
For the whole thing that happened with him, gotta give him a message. His day of reckoning will come. Yeah, but for food, I don't remember last time. I think it's pretty good. I heard they're cheap.
00:55:44
Speaker
Uh, do they only do pizza or do they have like wings and stuff? They just, I think they just do pizza. Or like salad and stuff. I think the fact that we don't know is what we just don't know. I mean like who eats at Papa John's? I eat there once. I can't speak about it. We can't put it in a bubble. I would rather go get like DiGiorno. I would get Lobi, Lobi I think. DiGiorno. Lobi, I think. DiGiorno. Lobi, I think. DiGiorno. Lobi, I think. DiGiorno. Lobi, I think. DiGiorno. Lobi, I think. DiGiorno. Lobi, I think. DiGiorno. Lobi, I think. DiGiorno. Lobi, I think. DiGiorno. Lobi, I think. DiGiorno. Lobi, I think. DiGiorno. Lobi, I think. DiGiorno. Lobi, I think. DiGiorno
00:56:15
Speaker
You want to put it in C? No. No, I put it in like sucks to suck. It's just not even good. Sucks to suck because it's going to hell. Yeah, honestly. It's just not even... You don't even think of that when you think of pizza. Pizza Hut. Alright, Pizza Hut. Pizza Hut. I kind of want to put it in sucks to suck. But they have that like $5 deep dish. Dude, their breadsticks are so good though. Hear me out, hear me out.
00:56:36
Speaker
You've been on a long journey. You've been in your car driving for six hours. You get out to finally stretch your legs. And the only restaurant in sight is a Pizza Hut. Tell me I'm right or wrong. There's a lot of Pizza Huts. Pizza Hut is like... It's where it needs to be. It's like... You know the back rooms? There's a Pizza Hut in there. There's a Pizza Hut in your closet.
00:57:06
Speaker
It's like a transitional period of, like, time space. What? Because I feel like the only time I have Pizza Hut is when I'm traveling.
00:57:18
Speaker
I'm just going to say that their breadsticks are good. Their pizza is like... I feel like the quality of their pizza went down so much. Their handheld pizza used to be actually pretty good, nice and chewy. I had it a couple days ago. It's not even that good. And I'll bring the point again. You don't get cheese packets anymore. You have to buy their Shaker, which is like three bucks.
00:57:42
Speaker
I'm not going to be shaking powers on everything I eat. I'm there for a packet of cheese and pizza. So how good is this shaker? The shaker? I didn't buy it, but I'm pretty sure it's like this. Like a small shaker? Yeah, basically. So it's like an actual shaker. It's literally a shaker. What is it?
00:58:06
Speaker
Give it back to them. Oh boy, I can't wait to go to Pizza Hut. Honey, make sure I don't forget my pizza shaker. I just think their quality went down a lot. I think it's time for your $4 off-charge pizza shaker. Yes, ma'am. Let's go to the back of it. Yeah, so I'd say... I'm fine with putting it on the low D. It's an low D. It's either D or sucks the suckers. I feel like there's a reason we don't drink Pizza Hut. It's fallen down so much.
00:58:39
Speaker
I've had their chicken sandwich, that's about it that I've had from them. And it was pretty recent too, like last year. And it was alright. It obviously was not even close to Chick-fil-A. But as far as chicken sandwiches go, it's probably better than any of the other burger places can do.
00:59:02
Speaker
I would say... And they give you Louisiana hot sauce as well in packets, which makes it pretty good. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Lower than that. I see your D. My guy said, uh-uh. See your D. I feel like what they do is pretty good, but sometimes some of their items are missed, like their Popeye Shrimp, I think. Is it actually better than KFC? Is it better than KFC? I don't even know why they have shrimp on the menu. I know it's because it's Louisiana, but it's so hard to do shrimp and fish.
00:59:31
Speaker
And McDonald's is literally going to hell for the fact that they had a fish sandwich. Yeah. Yeah. Why? Because it prematurely kills people. I'm pretty sure it does. Wait, so are you guys saying that Popeyes is better than KFC? Is that what's happening? I don't know. I don't know about that. That's the question. Right now? Right now? Yeah, so right now I think Popeyes probably has the upper hand on KFC. Okay.
00:59:55
Speaker
If you only get the chicken. If you're comparing chicken... What else did they have? They have shrimp and like potatoes and sides and stuff. Oh, yes. Okay.
Sonic Food Review
01:00:04
Speaker
Louisian Affair. Yeah.
01:00:06
Speaker
Alright cool, I'm happy to. Next up, Sonic. I think Sonic food is better than Dairy Queen's food. So I think they surpassed Dairy Queen. So we actually all went to Sonic recently. We did, I knew we did. And I remember saying this, every time I come to Sonic, I'm overwhelmed by health.
01:00:27
Speaker
Just I'm underwhelmed. I'm just it's not good because you're okay. So let me let me paint a word picture here So I got we got chicken strips, right? And so I open it up, but you know, it's in the weird like bag with them within a bag and On top is a piece of bread. Oh, yeah, like supposed to be like Texas toast and air quotes and
01:00:54
Speaker
And it is the most tasteless, most blukewarm, like not hot, not cold, but not good enough for either of those.
01:01:09
Speaker
just like it was like eating there's it was microwaved cardboard like you were probably trying to chew through drywall maybe it was it was like it was like eating like dried up cock now we're getting into the good part of the podcast ladies and gentlemen the still that keeps wood together right yeah yes wood anything plumbing it was like eating wood pulp
01:01:37
Speaker
Oh god, ew! Yeah, that's a good one. It was side us. And then, you know, you take a bite out of that, and that's all you have of it, obviously, because you're not going to finish this piece of wood bowl. So you put that to the side, and then you monster. And then you pull out your four compressed flat ironed chicken strips that taste like
01:02:06
Speaker
Like breaded rocks. They were dry. They had no flavor. It was just like... It tasted like they took the cardboard bread.
01:02:20
Speaker
crushed that up and made that into the actual breadcrumbs that made the thing that surrounded the chicken strips. A hundred percent. A hundred percent. And you down it with just like sugar, liquid, juice, and some of those slushies. Yeah, I had a water and I had to like refill it twice to get through the four chicken strips.
01:02:39
Speaker
I won't disagree that Sonic has bad menu items, but also I feel like you guys chose the worst one because their tater tots are really good. I did get the tater tots and their tater tots were bad. They were bad. They were bad. Every time I go they're bad. I've never had bad tater tots. I used to love their tater tots. Their tater tots?
01:03:05
Speaker
No, they were completely oily, no crisp. Yeah, they were. Must have been the time of day we got it then, because we were pretty late. Usually, you're supposed to get the kitchen. That could be it. That could be it. But how was your hot dog? I actually liked it. You liked her hot dog? Yeah, because it was loaded. It had all the fixings on it, ketchup, mustard, relish, and onions. And it was like longer than six inches, I think, or about that. So it was a decently sized hot dog as well. Yeah, with a really good personality. Yeah.
01:03:33
Speaker
The last time I had one of their hot dogs, I mean, it was pretty good, but to be fair, I was very tired. We were at a birthday party, and we got Sonic, and man, it was really good. But I guess it just depends on where you go.
01:03:51
Speaker
Yeah, their hot dog was alright. I've had their burgers there. Their burgers aren't terrible either. Like, they would probably be better than Burger King's burgers, I would say. Better than Burger King's? Well, Burger King's already lower than DQ. Yeah, yeah. He said it's better than DQ.
01:04:09
Speaker
And we have to give them credit for the fact that what they're good at, which is their drinks, they're really good at it. They're really good at their drinks. All they're known for is their drinks. And their desserts. Their desserts are pretty bomb. Deep-fry Oreos, bro. Deep-fry Oreos? They have those there. Yeah, they used to.
01:04:25
Speaker
Yeah. Okay, no, but like they're like their fruit blast or their freezes or whatever. Oh, yeah. Yeah, pretty good. And they're, yeah, the blast are pretty good. I think they would be on par with McDonald's. Because McDonald's doesn't live up to the drink quality that Sonic does. But the food quality is much better than Sonic's.
01:04:45
Speaker
But McDonald's food quality is much better. I would disagree. I would say they're pretty on par. I know. Honestly, they are. As far as food goes, I would say they're actually almost the same, except Sonic has hot dogs, and I don't think McDonald's does. No, they do. It might not have hot dogs. I was like, the McDonald's, the McDonald's. The McDonald's. The McDonald's. The McDonald's. The McDonald's. The McDonald's. The McDonald's. The McDonald's. The McDonald's has to Sonic's tater tots as their hash browns, which is pretty good.
01:05:15
Speaker
their hash bones are good but sonic takes a cake with all of their drinks that they have and every single one of their drinks is really good yeah all their slushies all of their flurries yeah I'm sorry McDonald's sprite you just cannot hold up the weight that the sonic dreams it's broken McDonald's fight is broken yeah there's actually
01:05:33
Speaker
cracking I'm pretty sure I mean it's quite literally just like an insane amount of the syrup oh yeah and also extra carbonation and then larger round straws you can get more carbonation which is why it's like spicy spicy clown juice
01:05:53
Speaker
Have you seen that video? Yeah. So we put Sonic at the top of seat right above McDonald's, which I think is where
Subway vs Chipotle
01:06:00
Speaker
it belongs. That is where it belongs. Speaking of Subway, we just ate there. Very good. It was really good, but quite expensive. Yeah. What happened to the $5 foot long? Yeah.
01:06:10
Speaker
What is it like? It's like $8 foot long now, I think. Close to $10. I think I paid $10 for a meal. But you had chips and the drink. No, I just got a drink. I just got a water. You didn't get chips? Or I just got a cup. I didn't get chips. They actually steal a bag of chips from somebody. I got the meal, too. You might have. I got the meal, too. No, I didn't get the meal. I just got a net. Oh, OK. I got a meal. That's why. The meal is like $12, yeah. The meal is not $12. It was $7. Well, you also had a, you had a, you had a six inch. I did. Yeah. No, no, no. Six inches this big, remember? This is six inches.
01:06:40
Speaker
Right, right, yeah, great personality. It also is fresh. I don't know if you guys have ever had their breakfast options for their sandwiches, but those are really good too. They're pre-made. They have egg patties, kind of like how McDonald's has with their Egg McMuffin, but they taste really good. And then they have fresh cooked bacon, or you can choose fresh steak.
01:07:06
Speaker
as well as, um, cheese. We might have to go get some breakfast at some place. At least the one on campus is really good. I don't want campus, they have probably different food standards for their, uh, college business. Like these guys have no tongues. I would say it's up here with Chipotle. I would, do you guys think that I had a Chipotle? I feel like Chipotle's modularity is a little bit better in some way, but I would put it right behind it. It's hard to compare them. However, they are just a very similar business format. Subway's guac is trash though.
01:07:38
Speaker
It's not even guac, it's like mashed oligo, mashed green. Isn't that what it is? Yeah, I don't like it. They're also like Chipotle and the fact that it's like $2 extra for guac. Which is... It's rough. Yeah, it is rough. And they're more bread with Subway. Yeah, I would say. Their bread is really good. Subway is better than Chipotle. I also feel like... Yeah, you don't have to pay extra for all the...
01:08:03
Speaker
Their chicken is mad compared to Chipotle's fresh cooked chicken. I don't know, which one do you think you get more bang for your buck for? Chipotle or something? Probably Subway, to be honest. I think Subway. But Chipotle has really good sour cream. If you go for the meal, because there is no meal at Chipotle. It's just the $10 bowl. And the cookies. What I get, the equivalent of a
01:08:26
Speaker
of a foot long at Chipotle is a meal with like a double meat or something. Yeah. And that's like 12 bucks. Yeah. They don't really put double meat on there. They just like one and a half. They just add a little scoop of extra. Which is why you always, if you're always Chipotle, you always ask for a different meat for your second. So they have to get a whole scoop. Yeah.
01:08:49
Speaker
Or you see how much they put up for the first group, then you ask for double. Or you can just hop over the counter and do it yourself. Or you can just get streets over. I'll do it myself. You just grab it with your bare hands. You're like a baller. You punch you to go after it. And after you get chips.
01:09:10
Speaker
Or... It's like 20 bucks, so there's... Two cookies? You get two cookies? No, I'm talking about Chipotle. Oh, Chipotle. I'm talking about the meal. Oh, yeah. The foot-long meal versus... Foot-long meal. Literally. Just got it. It was like around $10.24. At Chipotle, a double meat bowl with chips and a drink. It's gonna be like... $14? Almost $15, yeah. Almost $15. Yeah.
01:09:40
Speaker
I think you get more bang for your bucket subway. I do too, plus their cookies are really good. Their cookies are good. Next up, Taco Bell. Diarrhea Bell. Oh man, yeah. Taco Bell can be the same.
01:09:57
Speaker
Wait, did you just say Taco Bell? Okay. I heard someone say bottom tier and I almost lost it.
Taco Bell Praise
01:10:05
Speaker
Taco Bell is to S tier as Pizza Hut is to like being around in random places.
01:10:13
Speaker
It's unfortunate that there are consequences for eating Taco Bell. Yeah. Because they're pretty good at what they do and their specialty menu that they do that they change out every month is usually always really good. The five, the box. Oh yeah, the box. Yeah, zero value box. Always. Very worth it. Their online menu, like the like the point system. Oh, it's so good. It's broken. Yeah, it's broken. The McDonald's one is good.
01:10:38
Speaker
Taco Bell is just as soon as soon as you hit the hot instead of the mild section once you get enough points, huh?
01:11:01
Speaker
I even think if a place like Taco Bell just only did what they had on their value menu,
01:11:10
Speaker
it would still be really good. Because their value menu is already really good. I've never had... I've had like one or two experiences with Taco Bell that have been bad and it's been at a specific location. I agree. Every other location, it's been consistently good at what they do. The drinks, good... Baja Blast. Stealing Baja Blast. The fact that they have the Monopoly and Baja Blast just...
01:11:41
Speaker
This is amazing. Yeah, that gives... gives them a... It's a bunch of them up to the S tier. Did you get to the nacho fries? Yes. Very good. Very good. Very clearly bottom of the S tier, but they are S tier. They are S tier. It's not high A tier. I feel a little weird putting it above Five Guys, because Five Guys is actually good food. And Taco Bell is Taco Bell. I don't know. But it's Taco Bell. You're right. It does give... Dude, you eat vegan, it's the bottom of our update list. Yeah. I think what it excels at...
01:12:09
Speaker
It excels out better than Five Guys excels out. Five Guys has really good food. It's a little bit more expensive, and it's a little bit more time consuming. So sit down in place. The reason Taco Bell is S tier is because what it is meant for, which is fast, convenient food, it does incredibly well. And it's good. And it's good. And their power menu, their power bowls, and they have power burritos at other Taco Bells. Those are really good.
01:12:40
Speaker
There's just a lot of options. And it's also modular. Once I stopped eating dairy, I would get bean and cheese burritos without the cheese. But it's called a bean and cheese burrito. But I would add rice. And it's really good. Yeah.
01:13:04
Speaker
Yeah, so Taco Bell, bottom of S. That's alright. Wendy's? Oh yeah.
Wendy's and White Castle
01:13:10
Speaker
Wendy's, we gotta give them A at least. Because I mean, the square never frozen patties. The square never frozen patties. Their burgers are, all their sandwiches are like really small I feel like.
01:13:25
Speaker
Which is why you always gotta go for like the combos that they have, like the four for four. Which I think is where, that's where they get people is. Yeah, and I'm not sure their Frosties or whatever they call them is on par with any of the other dairy ice cream places. Do you know what their fries? Alternatively, I mean, they would be better to eat Wendy's Frosties with McDonald's fries.
01:13:49
Speaker
But with their own fries. I actually think Wendy's fries is really good. No, I do think they're very good. Better than most of the other places' fries. Better than Chick-fil-A's fries, at least. Yeah, I would agree.
01:14:04
Speaker
uh... yeah okay i can see that and last on the list is white castle which is going in sucks to suck because we who has ever eaten out of white castle uh... harold and kumar i've had their i've had their frozen sliders from from the frozen sliders the frozen sliders i haven't thought they're all right i went to a white castle for a frozen meal for frozen meals that you heat up in a minute i went to white castle
01:14:31
Speaker
um during the last ever soccer game of my high school career there's light castles in where we live in this state yeah in this state in like scottsdale really i was uh i was out there just sliders i was out in the boonies of uh arizona uh down by like that way ish like fuck eye area doxxing everywhere yeah
01:14:58
Speaker
And they have really good deals. We got 30 sliders for like an absurdly cheap amount of money. Were they good? No. Did they fill you up? Yes. Is it food? Is it food?
01:15:16
Speaker
kind of i'd probably say their burgers are on par with maybe a jack-in-the-box burger probably i would well being the size well being the size of mine should be on this list but isn't water burger yeah man water burger is good water burger i think i think water burger is a tier we should have found a different list this one this would have plenty of stuff i would have put water burger high v low wait so are we saying burgerings buried in white castle
01:15:45
Speaker
Well, I just don't think we have much experience with White Castle to make a strong food. Yeah, it sucks. Yeah. Regardless of whether we've eaten at them, we know about all the other ones. But White Castle is like a mystery to us. Mystery meat, mystery product. Mystery meat. Yeah. If you eat too many of them, you do get sick. That is most food. I know, but because of the fact that you can just pop a slider in so quick. OK. OK. Pop a slider in?
01:16:15
Speaker
You just eat, you can eat them so quickly. Like you eat four and like the blink of an eye. Yeah, maybe we'll, we'll, we'll take a picture of this list and then we'll, and then we'll post it on the internet. Yeah. And then we'll see what, what everyone thinks. Thoughts of our opinions. Not to be political. Can you take a screenshot on your PC and then just, uh, crop or just email. I don't know if I can take a screenshot of the, you can. You go, you in the search bar at the bottom left there.
01:16:46
Speaker
Thanks for joining us. We will get back to you shortly and remember to check out our Instagram and follow up with our we will post the pictures of these two lists and give us your thoughts and prayers.
