The McElroy brothers are not experts and their advice should never be followed. Travis insists he's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it. Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mention only, so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up? You call me? The not too familiar. Come to my brother, my brother and me and advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy and me.

Well, I'm your middle brother, Travis McElroy.

I'm your youngest one, Griffin McElroy. Why don't we why are we laughing? We record these on Thursday. So you have no fucking idea what kind of a weekend ahead of us we have. Laughter may not be the order of the day come come Monday afternoon, but I don't know, man. May as well laugh when you can write right high.

All things considered. Not a bad week, all things considered. Not a week, comparatively, comparatively, compared to all things considered. All things considered, you ought to take all things into consideration. Not a bad week. Here's what I was going to say.

I must say this one thing. Yeah. If you told me one calendar year ago that the week that contained a day that I woke up think with a fever, thinking I had a deadly virus, then got tested for that deadly virus.

And I would think of that week as a pretty good week.

Yeah, I would have not believed what you were saying. I would not have believed it. But that situation did transpire. Yeah, everything's fine.

But D but still. Pretty good way, you know, if you had told me when I was a young lad of, say, eight or nine that there would come a week where a fly landing on someone's head was national news, I would have laughed in your face being funny.

And he laughed.

Your face bug landed there because because it was shit and he smelled the shit and he wanted to eat it and barf on it, which is that's pretty much what everyone's going with.

She's fucking good, man. I do want to point out two things. One, still very bad things. Oh yeah.

Anyway. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a terrible, terrible, terrible week, but also it's Thursday at 142 Central Time, which is the only time zone that matters to me by the time this episode comes out, we are there are three days dudes.

We're totally not righteous stuff. Can will. Yeah.

Will the hardcore recording this several days before. So absolutely.

So I don't know why you guys are calling this this fucking wild. I guess it's a calendar. I'm going by calendar since last Thursday, Thursday and Thursday.

Yeah, a week now. So let me say this. If if we were able to cut and paste this week into, say, like 2011, this would have been the worst week of 2011.

You know what I mean? Like like that's what I'm talking about.

But fear and in twenty twenty flight landed on our American vice presidents. Wouldn't that have been ironic or landed on Joe Biden's head back in 2010?

Oh, now the dots are starting to connect. Thank you, Travis. The fly was little tiny drone. That's why while the think about. But it's definitely true. Now here's what I'm wondering. Yeah.

Are we going to say, man, I hope this isn't true, but like in two thousand thirty. Yeah, we'll look back on this.

We ask and they can withstand this. You're probably right. Or maybe we'll look back and be like, there's no way that week happens if I'm still a lot of thinking.

Twenty, thirty. I will consider that a success. That's yeah. That will be a high watermark. That is fair. But his face is my brother. My brother means if I show for the modern era, we're so happy to be here with you.

We got a special guest, the fly here. He has completely landed on the dude's head because it's his the things are is total bullshit.

So are you voting for Joe Biden?

I'm actually, as all bugs are are registered libertarians for Jurgen's.

And like Kenber, I did have a thought. You guys, can you imagine here we are four years later to be Ken Brown and to look at the news and realize I share the same amount of public affection as a fly does.

Now, like in 2016, he is the fly to fly zone of twenty twenty the flies.

The campaign, the campaign is the fly. That must be a sobering realization.

I cannot believe, can we briefly, I'm just going to briefly talk about Ken Bout, who is, by the way, not a good person, judging by their credit history. Not a good person. Ken Burns, I want to say that a friend established.

Second thing I want to say, can you imagine there was a person who was so he was stupid that they couldn't pick who they wanted to be.

The president and a real reporter, a paid reporter was like, I got to check back in with that dude. Yeah.

And see where his head was that he was so, so absolutely out of his Melen that he couldn't make a decision.

I wonder where his head is that now? This is a big thinker. I got to see where he's at.

A free thinker makes me think think of it that way too. He's free to take his vote flesh right on the fucking toilet.

OK, Ken also probably does. He probably only owns red sweaters. Right. Like he does his this point.

He's a full blown. Yeah, he's a full blown bone. Full blown bone.

That's his thing. You know what I mean. Like he only knows how to be can bone.

I hope he's doing the con circuit anyway.

I hope he's not, because if he is, I want to see him and I'm going to have to say I wish they could have gotten to fly ready. And the fly is too popular. We could do more fly stuff.

But, you know, it's going to be on SNL and this will come out after I. Oh, well, let's call it oh, let's call it.

This will be fun. We're recording this three days before then. What do you think is going to. I think it'll be probably a weekend update bit fall.

Oh, no, no, no. It's in the intro. Oh, really? They zoom in on the fly and it's like Fred Armisen is back on the fly yet. That's good.

That's good. What if it's like a Godfather kind of thing where they got Jim Carrey, he's playing Joe Biden and Joe Biden is like sitting in his desk. But it's like, you know, one downward lie and the fly comes and Joe Biden's like, you did it. The thing I get. Yeah. Now what can I do for you?

And the flies, like, I just want a big pile of shit. Yeah. Ed to like, do Railsback or whatever. I don't I haven't seen Godfather and then Joe Biden's like, you gotta live from New York.

It's Saturday night. That's it. That's it. That's it.

Didn't watch. Couldn't bring myself to watch Jim Carrey's Joe Biden because I just saw the thumbnail image and I was like, I don't take my anxiety over this election is so high that I do not need my man Ace Ventura in there sort of poke. About my neurons getting them all twisted up, get me, but I mean busting, busting my gut, busting my family's gut for sure, I guess I just worry that if I saw it would bust my gut so hard that all my intestines would spell out.

Yeah. Which would be pretty spooky.

Yeah. Happy Halloween, everybody. All right.

All the fly sexy. The fly is going to be huge this Halloween. My God. Sexy the fly.

I mean, flies are already. They get what if they get Goldbloom.

Oh I think it one if they get cold. OK, let's help.

Last week after working my current job for nearly two and a half years, my boss finally granted me lockup privileges. Nice. That is, of course, if you haven't been in a job for a while, you are allowed to lock up insubordinate employees until they do things.

The subway right in the in the booboos box, which is also where they keep the vegetables. When he gave me the key, he said, Now don't you lose this. At the week, he kept telling me to take good care of it.

At the end, the last day before I was going to open the door by myself the first time he said, You sure you're ready?

You have Orlofsky. I got so annoyed that I kind of sat no, I haven't lost it since the last time you asked.

Now I'm sure you know what this is going, because when I got home, I couldn't find the damn key anywhere.

So please have a how do I tell my boss that I lost the freaking key?

Do I just not open the store tomorrow?

And I hope he doesn't notice how I ever came back.

His misplaced trust us from locked out and ashamed how you're never going to you're never going to gain back that trial. How did you how did how could you possibly have fuck this up so bad, so frustrated with you.

You got my theory, my theory, as you like. When your boss handed it to you, it fell out of your pocket as you were leaving the room like that long ago.

And your boss picked it up and was like, well, I'm going to give them a fuckin hard time about this. I love that. That's very possible. The boss knew the whole time. Oh, yeah. Or the boss stole it. Yeah. I mean, they caught me, if you can, dear, I have a I mean to do use another film reference as a solution.

It's a wonderful life. Huh, huh? Oh, Billy, your uncle, your Uncle Billy, you lost the key or the money or the key, and so George is like, this sucks, but then I'm fucked.

I'm fucked on my hands. I told my you fucked me, Billy. I told my boss you fucked me. Billy, Billy, I'm fucked. You make me look like a real fucking idiot. Oh, Billy. Well, well, well, well. You fucked me in the ass. Billy.

Billy I got kids. Billy you're Frank. I'm an angel. You're fuck you're fucking me in front of my kids.

I'm an angel sent by Jesus. But I can't even around all police. Really.

Are you pulling my hair? Are you pulling my hair because I like to get fucked. Really?

That was a long interruption for what is not going to be a very good idea.

But I was saying that all the townspeople who you've helped with your generosity and selflessness over the years will come and give you their keys.

Now, unless those unless those townspeople live at the subway, Girvan is not going to help. I think that one of the keys will be close enough to fit that.

It'll open the door. That's true. You could use God's keys, which is what I call a brick. OK, smash that door in. And then when your boss comes, you say, I found it like this, boss, but I'm not leaving here until it gets repaired. And bad news to stole the key to out of my pocket while I was picking up glass.

What's bad is like I was going to suggest that, oh, it's actually troubling what they're smashing the window or the ceiling.

The key smashed the way they put it. Break through the window.

You reach around, you open it and they're like, they got they got you. Oh, yeah, I'm sorry, boss, but they got a guy here again, a classic prank.

Old window brick, I can't do you? Yeah, I love that. So sent in by Stephen. Thank you, Stephen and Yahoo! Answer Anonymous Yahoo Answers user song.

Sorry, real quick to jump at. You should tell your boss you lost it because the satisfaction they'll feel it. That will what again. So overwhelmingly positive for them. Brandon asks.

Stupid Power Rangers question. Oh, yeah, no such thing that go on.

There are no there's no such thing as a stupid Power Rangers question, just stupid people, just stupid Power Rangers, stupid actors.

In the beginning of the show, when Zordon needs new Power Rangers, why did he ask for teenagers with attitudes? Wouldn't it be better to get some guys that have formal special ops training?

It just seems irresponsible now. Oh, God, that is a stupid. I'm sorry. That is a stupid question. Obviously, Zordon wanted to be able to train them himself. Right. If you get people in special ops training, you're going to do it the way they've been trained.

But Zordon doesn't ever pop out of his, like, hollow hologram display and is like, let me show you Tienes how to do a real bicycle kick.

This is where to put your hands to snap a man's neck. And that fucking robot's not teaching him how to do how to do their moves. Alpha five.

No, no way. So they just like they have their little power coins and that that gives them all the training they need. Zordon, don't teach them shit.

So a little bit of like endemic systemic fighting knowledge in an unstable adult, like with a with a 401k, like somebody who is financially independent and, you know, has has they're just very confident in themselves.

Hey, Griffin, let's try that out. I'll be adult with formal special ops training like you have. And you are Zord on trying to recruit me to your Power Ranger group, I guess.

OK. Tony, I am Zordon, I know that, you know, all kinds of cool fighting moves and you have a big job with the city and an apartment in the city. You are in a long term dating relationship. Yeah, it's getting pretty serious. And you your fighting abilities are they exist and you can do them. Yes. So Rita Reupholster is back and she had all of her gooey guys to pack their bags and.

OK, what do you want me to do? Well, I'm going to I'll let me fucking finish. OK, I have this little power coin and it lets you turn it changes your clothes into different like a superhero clothes. And then you will get sometimes a dinosaur robot, huh?

Well, I like the dinosaur robot part, but like, what does it pay?

I don't. I told you about the power coin and the dinosaur robot.

No, I know that. But like you will and I have an apartment I need to pay rent. Like, what's what's the pay? Excuse me for a moment, Tony. OK, can my girlfriend's kids come hang out at the power base or whatever? Sometimes I am like, what's parking? And like, what's the health care summit?

I actually watch them. She goes to night school. So I actually watch them. Yeah, a lot of the time that's cool.

But you can give them like a ball patrol coloring book and they'll be fine if you find or make them.

What's it empower people or can they be like tiny power people. Wait, why didn't I think of that? I can just make everyone on earth power people and they and then readers are really fucked, isn't she.

We thought about like restructuring. What's a robot for? I mean, no offense, robot, but like.

Well, sometimes the goofy guys get real big.

Tony, huh. Do you think Zordon is ever like you didn't lose your morphia, did you?

Did you did you promise me. Yes. Or I'm sorry. My mom found my mom before and she used it, said now she's just flying a pterodactyl around.

My mom found my morphia and she thought it was a bong and she grounded me. Zord on. Now, I can't do any crime fighting today, so thanks so much.

So thanks so much. Please FaceTime my mom. Please take my mom on a date so she will.

Xoanon, I need you to seduce my mom to these soccer moms that should leave the house like foil Reider of Paulson's plan.

Can we fucking times do I have to tell you, Dad, I mean sort of an oops. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, dad. All right.

Happens to me all the time. Get the fuck out of here. Get out of here. What is the robot's name isn't the Alpha Five. It's Alpha Phi Alpha Phi.

OK, sure.

Do you think the Power Rangers ever asked Xoanon for help with their homework? Yeah, yeah, probably.

There's an Alpha five zero, but just do my. Hey, listen, here's the deal.

If you want me to fight reader or policy, you got to do my homework for me on four five because I can't get it.

Sterckx, these kids are going to be so busy fighting crime. They're going to go to college and they're going to be like, so anyway, open your books now. Like I never learn to read.

I was too busy punching a big, I don't know, octopus thing. Hey, Soledad, how do you ask a girl on a date? You just teleport her to your science station, give her a big koi? I don't I don't think that's OK. That doesn't seem right.

Have you tried showing her your xenon crystals now? Now, I mean, not without consent. I didn't think she would like my xenon crystals.

I think if I did get visited by an angel of Zordon and they offered me to be a grown up Power Ranger, I would probably end like they would give me a coin that let me transform into cool suits and get a dinosaur robot. I still think it's going to be a no. Like as good as that sounds.

It's it also sounds like a great a great deal of work for what as Justin pointed out, as Travis pointed out, one of you fucking guys pointed out is an unpaid internship with a space space alien.

And if I'm being honest, I mean, I'm thirty six years old. I was thirty seven. I got two kids.

But the truth is, being a Power Rangers, a level of responsibility I don't think I could handle and I don't even mean like fighting the bad guys.

I mean, those sorts of pretty difficult as a pilot. Yeah. Oh yeah.

I think I fucked that up pretty badly and I don't think you can get insurance on those dang things.

It's just that Reed is going to keep sending her goofy guys. Right.

Like if it's easy for me to like say no, I don't want this responsibility and somebody braver with me with more free time would say, yes, I guess that makes me a bad person.

Shit. No teenager thing would have made sense if he had only gotten home school kids. OK, go, go. Mighty Morphin Home school kid Power Rangers.

Now, why is that? It's like they have incredible like adult shaped bodies, lithe, powerful in the prime of their lives. But they also like don't have to be in school. They could just sort of tell their mom, like, listen, mom, I'm going to go, I don't know, actualise or something. What a homeschool parents.

That's it. Yeah. Yeah. That like, I'm going to meditate.

Hey, weren't the big bad bita Borg's like literally ten. We actually got a letter.

Oh no. Yeah.

I got a letter from Podcast's that we are we as a podcast have talked about Betaworks. The maximum number always.

Is that our big bad beetle quota. Yeah we did.

It looks like in twenty, twenty two more slots are going to open up traves some episodes like six twenty three or so. If my math adds up maybe we can, I'll save it.

What we are doing is entering into sort of a cap and trade situation with ninety nine percent visible, which to my knowledge has never talked about. Big bad Battleborn.

The other one Rissi that's the one percent right there. We're buying some of their credits. In exchange we have to plug the 99 percent Invisible City, the new book from Roland Martin. I am pretty invisible. We have to plug that.

And they are in exchange for talking about their fantastic book. We're going to get a few credits to talk about big.

OK, why was the house haunted? Doesn't that seem like a hat on a hat? Yeah. You're fighting things in your big bad beat about crossing, but also your house is like a haunted house.

What the fuck? That's really how you're going, huh? Well, that's all I'm going to use that you can try this. Boy, howdy.

The Genie character sure looks offensive, but I can't put my finger on two, which I think it's only that Jay Leno is offensive to Jay Leno.

Wow. He does sure look a hell of a lot like Joseph Leno to get them out the door.

Yeah, it's a good amount that a flapper looks like Joseph Flynn.

It does kind of look like someone said, hey, can you draw Joseph Leno from memory? And they said, yeah, I think so.

I think so. Do you think the Power Rangers ever went to the secret cave when there wasn't stuff to do and they just wanted some way to talk to you? Yeah.

I'm not really comfortable with it. This isn't like a social thing. I have other things that I don't think you did. I have my own friends. I like to separate work and home. I'm bingeing, justified. This isn't my thing.

No spoilers. I'm only on season two now. Leave me and my giant bong.

My parents have been fighting a lot lately.

Oh gosh. Do you what that. Oh Rita's attacking. Oh no. Clarium, do you want another to do another mammoth robot.

Let me see. Well hold on, let me see what I got in the back.

OK, I'm going to send you to the moon. Is that anything we got? I got a plesiosaur robot back here. Will that help with your parents fighting?

Probably. I don't think so. Zordon, I brought Tommy back from the dead. How's that make you feel? Oh. OK, here's another question.

I was out on my lunch break running a few errands when I spotted a taco truck. Nasty sound amazing.

So I pull over a few problems, though. Truck was parked in the parking lot of fire station and everyone in line had matching shirts. Who was this taco truck?

Only for the firefighters and everyone working there. How do I get in on this lunch? That's from Desperate for Tacos in Des Moines.

This is this is Boice. This is a choice cut. This is a this is a quandary that I feel like nobody has really tried to solve. So, like, I feel like we have an opportunity right here to to plant our flag in this fertile ground.

Now, I'm going I'm going to give the question asked of the benefit of the doubt and say that if the food from said truck had been given away for free, that would have been mentioned in the question. Right.

Seale's I'm going to assume that this wasn't like the chief paid for lunch for everybody or whatever.

No, it's here. There's a food truck here and they're selling their food and you can come and get it. But this is clearly a function. This is clearly a firefighter function and.

But what's the harm in. Yeah, it's a business.

It's a business. They do want to make money.

Now, here's where I would feel bad. If we're being honest, I hop last in line thinking like, well, I'll go last and then some other firefighters line up behind me. Yeah. And they're waiting behind me. Do I need to rotate back and stay in the back of the line because I'm not a firefighter.

I don't think so. Yeah, I don't think so. Or else you're not going to get your you're great, you know, kimchi fries or whatever it is that you're getting from this food truck.

Honestly, I wouldn't I, I wouldn't do it. Well, no, but I'm afraid of firefighters.

Yeah.

I wouldn't do it because I'm afraid of doing the wrong thing in public. Yeah. So I would worry that I would get out there and someone, somewhere on earth might think, well, he shouldn't do that.

And, and, and then I wouldn't melt into the ground and die. And it's all I need to avoid with a food truck.

There's always the concern that you hand them the money and then they just drive off the drive away. Yeah, fuck. That's happened to me so many times. I go and make a nice gooey burger.

I'll take one. Here's here's fifteen dollars room gone.

Every it's like every time. Every time. Yeah. I'm starting to think about it guys. It's every day. I've never actually gotten food out of a truck.

They always got my money and just drive. You know what Griffin. Now that you mention it. Yeah. It's not as many food trucks here in Cincinnati. Yeah.

But yeah every time ha.

I did I, I actually I got a new one called Bite Me. It's a food truck with Asian Street food type stuff you got when you got food trucks in Huntington.

Well Sadr who was in Barbourville parked outside the Family Dollar, that used to be a Rite Aid, you know, close friends.

I drove up, I drove, I drove up there. Right. And because I wanted I saw on Facebook they were there and they're moving around a lot. So I was like, I'd love to try this truck. So I get in the car and drive up with my family, but my family calls.

OK, that's your car's out there.

I get my mask, I think. Well, you know, we haven't had any sort of dining experiences in terms of like sitting in a restaurant or anything. And I'm not going to sit in this truck.

I feel like it's fairly safe for me to roll up there with a mask, give me some food, eat in my car.

So I drove up there and I go the guy and I walk up to the truck and. Kind of stand there and he's kind of looking at me and I'm kind of looking at him and he's got a Legend of Korra T-shirt on that's not relevant. Just I want to get a little color in America and I'm kind of standing there like a dummy. And then eventually he's like, as if he doesn't know why I'm there is just a curse to him.

And he's like, sorry, we are sold out of everything.

Oh. And it's like, I am me. So I'm instantly mortified that I have bothered this person who no longer has food. So I start conmebol compulsively congratulating him on such a sales day.

Normal. That's wonderful.

I was just checking on you when I had to stop by and say I heard that you did it and I just want to confirm you did it, he said.

And then he said, we won't be here next week, but we'll be here the week after that. Now, I want to say two things about this person's business strategy. One, they did not tell me where they would be next.

So there's other places I can go to. You saw my car. It's five feet away, right?

He would not reveal to me where he was going to be. So it might have been a secret firefighter.

Only invitational is the one thing. So the other thing I want to say is like. When you ran out of food in your food truck and you told people where your food truck is shitty, you at that point drive drive away to a different location. Your restaurant is empty. It's no longer a restaurant.

Now it's just a truck with a picture of a walk on the outside. Please drive away. Please don't make me walk up to your empty truck. That would be like me walking up to at that point and walking up to any truck.

Yeah. And just expect you got served food.

Hey, you got food. And here it's like they ask if I might suggest a food truck says you like if you're in a restaurant. Right.

You have to wait for food supplies to be delivered to you. If you run out of food in your food truck might suggest driving to the store.

Yeah, just go get some more food and then come back and keep making more money.

Do you think one of the toughest parts of owning a food truck is investing in a really good hiding place for your food truck?

Because you you can't you can't be able to people shouldn't be able to see it if it's not if you aren't rolling in burg's so like you need, it's a truck. So it's big. So they getting garage space for it must be pretty tough. I think there's just like a big tarp that they throw over them. I'll tell you what.

Ideograph. Yeah, palm fronds. Palm fronds. Yeah. Yeah.

That way when it comes to my house front my house is that it's just a big pile of palm fronds.

Nothing to see here, just some palm fronds.

That Korean barbecue truck is covered in palm fronds. I'm not following the aesthetic.

The theme, Justin, I want you to know it really bothers me. And I want to I mean, I can't quite put a finger on it. I don't know that you did anything wrong, but something about getting in a car to drive to a food truck is weird to me. Yeah.

Because I was under the impression that the business model was such that the reverse was true.

But if a food truck parked somewhere and then says, you have to come to me, I feel like maybe something has gone wrong.

I mean, you're not wrong. But then if that's the case, you've limited they've limited their audience to a Venn diagram of Family Dollar employees that would love a bond.

Me on the Gulf, which is not I'm not saying is zero, but is that a sustainable business?

I don't know.

Well, then what about driving around? Maybe play some music from the top to let people know you're coming now and you just run out of your front door? Get about me.

Do you want bond me? They're so crunchy. Crunchy green. Now go on. I don't know that I can do this again.

We have pork flavor and have tofu queen.

OK, was there an important question.

Yeah, we like tofu was that was a sort of interjection and trajectory queen.

I'm tired of giving away free money to other businesses that don't deserve it. I want to make some money for our business that deserves that.

It deserves it because we're we're promising young people. We're doing our part of the truck. Let's see if I could drive around in a truck and podcasts.

I would fucking Alex Jones seems to have figured it out. It's got the money, but. Squarespace, deal with it. Oh, shit, yeah, I'm sick and tired of being nice, and it's time to get real.

Travis is really lonely out here.

I mean, yeah, I've been trying to get I don't even know if there is a new season of mine, Hunter. I don't know when it's coming out.

I could have said even know what my hunter is. One hundred percent. No, Groff's in it. I think think the groff's in it.

And I could have said supernatural. I said I said mine and I get myself.

I do appreciate adding a little spice travel variety to to what is typically a sort of supernatural stew that you cook up week in, week out on this podcast. Uh, quip also is sponsoring this episode and they have electric toothbrush. Hell yeah. Yeah, yeah. I feel like we're coming at the listeners pretty hot and heavy.

And you know what people need sometimes they need a fire under their Dov's Griffin talk about the show.

Show me your fuckin teeth. Whoa, show me those fucking hobgoblins.

See, OK, now you're getting mean.

I was pop out your grill. Let's see. You now need to clean those now you're trying to energize Girvan.

Not not like insult. Let me let me see your fucking teeth.

Welcome to Money Squad, it's a it's a podcast within a podcast profiling the latest and greatest in brand eating sunset at sunset setting, I believe.

Yeah, it's in the twilight years of this bit. So I come up with a better bet, which you wouldn't think would be that hard.

But here we are. KFC is going to introduce new signature dipping sauce nationwide on October 12th, and as the crow flies, my friend, that is possibly the they are listening to this.

Kentucky Fried Chicken announced Thursday that it is launching a new signature dipping sauce that's sure to make fried chicken fans rejoice.

Introducing KFC sauce, that's a signature sauce that's tangy and sweet with a bit of smokiness specifically designed to pair with crispy tenders.

It kind of seems like they threw a lot of flavor words in there, huh? That's great.

You get a mommy, mommy, a new mommy mixed. I get. When we set out to create a new signature sauce, we went right to the experts, our customers.

Well, now I know that I've eaten a KFC and I'll tell you right now, I am not.

You're a fucking tourist. Don't call yourself a KFC. I mean, I. Well, there was a time in my younger years. Oh, boy, oh, boy.

You know, we went to our customers to find out what made a sauce best in class for dipping.

It needs to be viscose. Yeah.

I can't be so wet that it just runs right off the tender, but also not too solid. Now I want to be able to put that tender in the tender has to be able to enter the spicy liquid.

It's weird to think that dipping the physical act of dipping was the primary concern of the eating that would follow.

No doubt that secondary if you get that primary thing wrong and you can't you either can't get the tendo in there or the tender. Don't pick nothing up. Well, after that friend, what it tastes like don't mean nothing.

That that that's from Andrea Zabinski, the chief marketing officer of KFC U.S. You don't want a lot of times they put the chief marketing officer in these things.

And I kind of find that frustrating because, like, their whole job is to sell stuff.

So how can I know I can trust them? Give me a head of R&D.

Yeah, I want to I want an impartial person that doesn't care if I eat it or not to bring me my news. You know, I'm just trying to get me to I want to I want to know what flavors they tried to put in the sauce but couldn't quite make it work.

I want to know their shortcomings.

Well, our first idea was chicken flavored sauce. We figured, let's enhance it. So we just grab a bunch of chicken.

It's just like eating the chicken, you know. Is that much better then?

The problem was people just slurp the sauce and they left the salad chicken alone and we said this is too dangerous for any one man to have.

They came in and said they don't want chicken anymore. They just want the side. I was too powerful.

We had we buried it in a bunker underneath our HQ where it shall remain and be studied by men.

Tell Rick and Morty does a fucking hysterical chicken SARS episode.

And Andrea continued, We went through fifty iterations and thanks to this recipe, was overwhelming.

I'm assuming that response was Please stop making me eat this fucking just let me see my family. Let me sleep. For fuck's sake.

It's been ten days beginning October 12th in all KFC, US restaurants. What a logistical effort this is.

Fried chicken dipping fans which apparently exists, can enjoy the new signature KFC sauce, along with a newly revamped, core sourced lineup of classic ranch honey barbecue and honey mustard in addition to KFC hot sauce.

Oh, thank God. I was afraid you weren't going to say the hot sauce, you know.

Yeah, well, those who love dipping do indeed take sauces seriously. Some going so far as to deem chicken an edible spoon for sauce or a vessel for flavor.

Oh, that's a fucking sentence from this press release. I kid you not. Hey, why did you guys stop hanging out with Derek? Oh, you'll never believe the bullshit.

He said. I know. You know, Derek says a lot of bullshit, but the other day we were eating fried chicken and he said, yum yum. Edible spoon vessel, flavor, flavor vessel. And I had to get the fuck out of there as fast as I could and get the chemist.

I left. I left Jeanmaire. I haven't seen her since. I don't know what happened to her. I don't. I miss my wife.

I'm so scared. For many, forgetting the source is a meal ruiner. In a recent survey from Door Dash.

Seventy five percent of Americans say their meal is ruined if the sauce is a forgotten boy.

And twenty percent say sauce is the single most important part of a great fried chicken meal.

OK, sometimes I just catch a sauce. Can you imagine being put into a position where you, a human being on the earth, has to try to come up with an opinion about the most important part of a great fried chicken meal? Yeah, it's the chickens, but it's the chicken flavor of the chicken and how good it taste to eat it. I mean, OK, listen, I like dipping.

I don't know who the profile of this person is. I don't know who this person is. There's like, oh, why do I get a fried chicken? Thank you so much for asking. I like to put it into things.

Yeah, I like to. I like how it's a spoon you can eat and I'm a dirt bag.

Luckily for those who love dipping, KFC's extra crispy team tenders are perfectly designed for dipping.

And in the sense that they're edible and physical, they're perfectly designed for dipping and elevate the overall sauce experience.

The hills and valleys go by these extra crispy brain form little flakes of sauce on every tender, making the final bite crispy, crunchy and bursting with flavor.

And you know, if you're eating KFC, it may very well be the final bite period.

So, you know, the wild topography of these crunchy boys.

What's that? Oh, it's a hidden cavern full of delicious sauce.

Oh, and a dragon's gold. I'm Sir David Attenborough, observed the gazelle as it gallops through the different nooks and crannies to celebrate.

This is why it is amazing. I'm at this point of this press release and I'm not even to the part I was really excited about to sell.

To celebrate his new signature KFC sauce, KFC head chef Chris Scott created three. KFC charcuterie. Oh, a recipe. Oh, and you can, right, I was waiting for it. So far I was like, this is informative and interesting, but not that wild.

Where's the actionable part? Where's the part that I could do at home?

Well, good news from Chef Chris Scott, who under duress developed these recipe cards as terms of his resignation, as his final act upon the KFC submitting his charcuterie recipes was handed a vial of the antitoxin for his family.

He printed it on the back of his resignation letter.

Their KFC shakya, it doesn't trip off the top, but you get the idea right. KFC, Hachita bought recipes you can try at home. Charcuterie doesn't have to be all cold cuts, cheeses and crackers.

Oh, sure.

It can also be delicious comfort foods like extra crispy deadenders Sieger S.B fries that indulgence. That's just a meal.

That's that's one of Colonel Sanders is a standard meals.

You know, Shakira doesn't have to be meat and cheese. Sometimes it could just be a bowl oatmeal. Sometimes you can be a child's laughter or just some loose grass you picked up from the ground and sprinkled on someone's corn charcuterie doesn't have to be all cold cuts. You could be watching half of episode two in your hotel room while you're doing anything.

Can be a fucking Toyota Yaris. Get out of here.

They are both fun to create and to eat.

And I know around my house we are definitely in need of some creative ways to break up the monotony of meals at oh OK.

We're bucking KFC charcuterie, all my fucking kids. Oh, my partner is so fucking boring.

Please. The process and assembly of a Charcuterie Board have become a creative outlet for many and has recently become a social media phenomenon on Tick-Tock.

Oh, videos associated with the hashtag hashtag charcuterie have been viewed more than two hundred and twenty four point eight million times, and many popular charcuterie creators have gained notoriety for their elaborate and mouth-watering creations.

You know what I'm going on. Ticktock right now. If you see trap, trap, trap, if you see anyone doing a funny fortnight dance on their, you make sure to let me know.

I'm not seeing any KFC yet. OK, let me just scroll down for my dance. Yeah, what's which one? I'll tell you what I did see before I saw KFC was somebody making a McDonald's charcuterie board and looks like they figured that one out on our own without any recipes.

Didn't meet French release or anything, huh?

Here's a chick filet charcuterie board. Oh, no. What's not? What's on that chick?

A food and a little New Testament.

I wish it was easier to keep track of whether or not it was permissible to eat cheerful at any given moment. So I don't assume.

No. Yeah, that's a safe assumption, isn't it?

One easy way to remember how to find this podcast is just go to KFC charcuterie and you're going to find that I fucking Sinak idiot from them.

And I know you know what? I'm going to make it redirect to Bojangles.

I don't buy that I did Usdin. I'm going to do that. Or Zach SP's. No, you know what, Zachs? Because that's what I'm going to do. Let's see.

The Chakiris are the KFC Little Dipper, a snack combination of KFC, extra crispy chicken dinners, cigarette's B fries paired with your favorite dipping sauces.

So that's just a meal, a meal from Callum's with a Sprite on the side.

And so there's also the Kentucky game night trio.

That's Kentucky Fried Buffalo Wings, KFC, extra crispy Tinder's and secret recipe fries complemented by KFC sauce and grocery items like blue cheese, fresh celery and.

Is that it's an admission that with a little bit of work and some products from your local grocery store, you could make this palatable?

Listen, we've talked a lot about KFC, but KFC, if you want to partner with me for like a Traves McElroy meal, like a brand like Travis Magaro, he's pretty cool. And we're going to make a meal that is this is like trowels.

So when he comes to KFC, I will happily do that. I will tell you that.

Please, this isn't you have not done the legwork on Yum Brands, Travis. I don't I don't I don't know how to tell you this, but you have not done the kind of research into Yum Brands that you would need to. Oh, are you saying you have to commit to something like that?

Oh, are they like each other. Are they shitheads. Everybody is. Oh man. Twist.

Oh so that's the that's the scoop on the KFC charcuterie.

You can make that at home.

I guess what they're saying, what they're really saying with this, if if I could just be Zabol, what they're really saying this is put it on a plate, you put it on a plate and you'll feel better about it in a wooden plate maybe.

And this is going to mean different things to different people. Arrange it, OK?

Interesting speak on that.

What I just explained how to do that in a way that screams class, I would take the tender's and kind of do them in like an alternating, like log tower, like you would perhaps Jenga, maybe all that's going to look real good and then just pour the sauce down the middle so it fills it up.

OK, that's funny, Trav. Yeah. And then put a little roof on top of it. And then maybe sprinkle it. This is I don't know how this will work with it, but like with icing sugar, so it looks like a snowy wonderland and then maybe add some little, like marshmallow snowmen and maybe glue some imams on there, a little Santa Claus.

What were we talking about?

Yeah, I was about to ask you a question. Unless Kevin has a Yahoo! Yeah. I mean, oh, gosh, we should address this one. It was sent in by Graham Roebuck. Thanks, Graham. It's an anonymous Yahoo! Answers user who I am going to call them. Deniece asks.

Yeah. How can I make my dad like a corn? Oh, Griffin, see, OK, see, ok, ok, OK, it's a C o OK, all right, good.

My one, my one hundred percent does like corn theory still holds with a K. Yeah. We need to, we need to be able to. It is so fucked up that these two I'm trying to teach Henry the phonetic alphabet and it's so fucked up that these two letters do the same fucking thing.

It's same thing. It's pointless. Get rid of one of them, make them fight in the winter. I think C should get to stay because C can do a lot of other stuff.

K is always, oh no. See what I would say Graffin that needs to happen is C needs to stay in its lane. Stick with that. Well I guess that it's the same. We haven't asked for that too.

We got the SC maybe get rid of the C, we have the K in the S they are doing their individualized jobs.

OK anyway. OK, what if we just started pronouncing the band's name corn corn.

Corn help this person.

How do they make their dad like corn play on some corn while they're eating corn. I want you to hear the difference, OK?

There's a lot of great ways I can tell you how to cook corn, because if I say it wrong and say I like to eat corn, then I'm going to jail, OK?

There's lots of good ways to make corn. I, i for me, for my money. Nice. Okay, now I'll eat that.

I'll eat that, but I'll eat it like I like me.

A corn bread corn. OK, it's sweet. You know what I like corn bread. You put some broccoli in there.

I don't, I don't think we can extrapolate quite that far trap because I think you could say like, well, there's corn syrup in your in your airheads that you're you love to eat.

No, I understand that, Griffin. But I'm saying corn bread, corn like tortillas like this thing. Your corn flakes.

These are pretty corn direct, right? I mean, you don't see it's like saying you don't like eggs where there are so many different versions of eggs. It's hard for me to believe that. Right.

Justin, you got anything on this one? Ever really good Mexican streetcorner in Pennyfather and Narmada, that bakery and Hollington. Yeah, that would be a great place because there it served up. Well, first off, it's vegetarian. I love that. And also it's served up there just like eight pieces of corn on it, really.

OK, so it's kind of like you wouldn't even it's like I do with my kids. Like you didn't even know you were eating corn.

Oh, it's not inside. It's not inside the empanadas.

It might be it might be hidden from me and I'll see you, but I can't see there's visible gawn if your dad thinks you're tricking him. Oh, God, Dad's hate that. No, dads do not like deception of any sort.

So you got one time my daddy was eating a cake that I made him. Yeah, he was just about to take a bite and then he pulled the layers apart and he found a piece of broccoli in there. Yeah. And he didn't talk to me for two weeks.

I have to tell you, that happened to me in school where everybody was doing like science fair projects or something like that. And then one one girl came in and gave everybody brownies. And we all like the brownies. And she was like, did you like them? They were all made out of green peppers.

And I wanted to be like, hey, one of us could have been wicked allergic to green peppers. Pretty risky gamble you just did there, Katie.

Deal also gross. I get my fucking permission.

Green peppers, my least favorite vegetable. And I don't mean that.

I do not like psychically the idea that I liked it, you know what I mean?

Like, I'm not willing to change my mind about that, Kate, OK? What is your least favorite vegetable? Everybody, my least favorite what's your least favorite vegetable? I think a lime beans. It's hard to choose because by and large, not good. No, that's not true.

I love those green things, man.

They make me feel powerful and strong. I think. I think peas are like corns, evil nephew. And they taste so gross and they have the texture of the texture of the casing never quite goes away.

It sucks. Man.

You don't want to hear about my eyes.

I want to know Justin's least favorite vegetable. French cut green beans.

I think they're fucking vulgar. I want to talk about or talk about vegetables, I found a new one that I like this week. Oh, boy, it's a story from my life.

People are always asking us to share our stories from our lives. Yeah, we stay on topic too much.

True story happened to me this week. Blue apron. You know I love blue. Yeah, they they there was a recipe this week or last week. I can't remember now, but because time is meaningless and it sometimes belabour does this to me where they'll get me hooked on a new ingredient.

And I'm like, whoa, I'm wild about this stuff. I can't get that in my house. No, I don't have it here. And this time it was Delacourt a squash. Oh yeah.

Was this the butter, chicken and squash. Oh yes it was, yes. A lot of squash.

It was roasted up so good. Oh my gosh. I was wild about this subsidy.

I'm putting in an order at the grocery store and I searched Ellacott of squash and it doesn't surprise me that they don't have it.

In fact, the website crashed. One thing that they did have was an assortment of five squashes in a bag.

So I bought that and then it showed up and I somehow missed the part on the the the the listing for the item. I mean, it wasn't there. I don't know where it said decorative. Yeah. Decorative squashes. Mm hmm. So then I got a problem. My problem is. One of them kind of looks like a small delacourt, a squash, kind of like a four. And I don't want their real squashes, but I don't want to be so now I'm like, could I look you guys up in here?

But I don't want to be the guy that goes to the hospital for eating something that, like fucking said, decorative on the back.

So fast forward. I'm now the kind of guy. Who has we're the kind of household that has a bowl with a bunch of squash in it to celebrate the season arrived and I was wondering how that happened.

How does that happen to you that you just end up like I got to get some decorative squash for the season arriving and this is what happened to me.

Maybe they'll stick around and not go bad.

I don't know, or decorative or maybe in a moment of temptation you will eat them. Just it.

I don't think you realize the bigger revelation right now is that in your house you have vegetables and foodstuffs that are good for eating.

And then this special, like Wilbur and Charlotte's Web, like these gourds, have been given a reprieve.

This is what you've got here, is you have a fish in a goldfish bowl while over here you're making some tilapia for dinner. Yeah, this is what you have.

Pet beta fish at the Red Lobster restaurant you work at is fucked up.

Does gourds have to watch you eat vegetables?

Better than the alternative, though, isn't it? Well, yeah, but it kind of seems like you're saying don't fuck out Gord's this could be you gorging on other vegetables.

Be more beautiful than seasonal.

You know, every vegetable is decorative depending on what you're into. That's what I'm saying. This is what it's so challenging to me. Do you want me to not eat these gaudens? You have to say no. That also doesn't say not for eating it does it say recommended decorative.

Right, exactly.

I've got a farmer coming over tomorrow, Gord's and if I get the green light for you're going enough that you're going in a fucking casserole.

Thanks so much for listening to our podcast. We hope you've enjoyed yourself. We sure have love being here with you. I want to ask a quick favor of you.

Well, just before you do that, I want to ask you a quick favor, because I want him to listen to one of my favorite podcasts. Oh, my God. A podcast called The Best Days. Oh, me about it.
