0:08 Welcome. Hello, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to one good question. I'm Jim, that's Mike. What's our question. We've got on a nutrition kick. I feel like nutrition kick time. I mean, it's all fitness bullshit time. But so I thought we would react to this, this video that I found on social that this kind of thing has been done before, but I've never seen it done with this thing or this way. Jordan Sayatt did a month of Big Max. Yeah, and that's easy a cheater and lost seven pounds or something like that. Yeah, We've other people have tried, like alcohol, like I'm gonna drink alcohol every day and lose weight. Yeah whatever, Yeah, go vegan obviously, or I don't know the pop tart deal. I did it for a while back in the day, like my first year of YouTube, eating ice cream almost every day and try to lose some weight, did you Yeah, I think so, I forgot. Well, let me started see if I can get this to play in a way that we can hear it. That's what we're not coming in at the right time here, diet. I know this is the most annoying thing about seven days Chiktalk, And to my surprise, I never got sick of eating hot dogs once, despite my bowel movements resembling Willy Wonka's Chocolate River. So was it worth it? Are you kidding? Me? Lost weight and had the

1:42 culinary experience of a lifetime. Abbs a fucking lotly ate nothing but the Costco hot dog meal for the past week to see if paying a dollar fifty for a Glizzion drink was worth it for seven days and here are the results. I ate twenty nine hot dog meals for a grand total of forty three dollars and fifty cents. So that's cheap. It's not too bad, you know. And is it really a meal? Well, I think he only ate them, but I think he gave me three meals a day. Oh just because there's one hundred and fifty I mean a dollar fifty. Oh true. So and he paid forty three to fifty, so he must have eaten every meal like three meals. Yeah, it's about thirty of them, right, Yeah, it's not very many calories when it comes right, hot dog. There's a lot of Costco in the news. One our friend Mike is Retel's going off about the chicken bake. Oh you know why though, right, because it's good calories or something because Masonomics put him onto that. Yeah, yeah, I knew it was all like yeah, I think that was on an episode of Them Together. Yeah, so the chicken bake is supposed to have a good calorie macronutrient breakdown expert at Yeah, and like only like forty fifty fat. But that's a lot of places. Like my secret is still it's not a secret, but my go to is still the fried nuggets from Chick fil A are insane. Oh really yeah, thirty of them is one hundred protein, like thirty fat. Wow. Yeah, they're banging, they're and they're obviously way tastier than fucking chicken breast. I mean shit. Yeah.

3:02 The second thing with Costco, there's three two more things I can't remember. Most we might need to google them. Maybe we need to get teach Sea Best to quick google and throw a shit on here, turn them into a fucking Rogan's Young Jamie. Yeah, we do that. We'll have to re engineer things. But they like made multiple statements this year anti inflation in a way because they're not. They don't raise prices on shit. But I think they might have just raised prices or there's some new story there about the Rochistry chicken. Maybe. I think it was all their stuff in there, like they're hot area, and then there was something else that just got replaced and they took some iconic Did they take the hot dog? They on like out and added something else And I don't think it was ice cream. I don't think it was a hot dog. Don't know what it was. It's not pizza, hopefully, maybe the pretzel or something something like a pretzel.

3:52 I thought they had a big, old a soft pretzel. I think something got taken out and they added in like a brand new thing, and the brand new thing does look delicious. Yeah. Another thing I posted on my Instagram, which I'll probably have to do for a vlog, is Subway started the foot long dessert menu or something that does the foot long snacks. They got a foot long cookie, a foot long churo, and a foot long pretzel. Okay, that are probably all way tastier than their sandwiches. Well, this is like anything. I can't eat Subway at all anymore. No, I'm so fat, and Subway is the one thing I don't want to eat if it's in front of me and it's all I got. I will put it down, but I'll never willingly choose that when something's next to it.

4:33 Well when when you know, back in twenty fourteen when we were at Walter Reed with well, they have a section of Walter Reeds it's called Main Street and you think it's a street, but no, it's actually like a food court. I don't know why they call it that, but one of the only things that you could get like quickly and one of the only things he wanted to eat Subway. I mean it is easy to put down so gross, right, like the bread's already Yeah, the meats more than processed veggies aren't veggies, Like I would probably put my money on McDonald's having more real veggies and shit than Subway. Oh is crazy. Yeah, they're supposedly not really fish, you know, or meat, Yeah, or something even worse than what you'll call it. So they added a Crumble style cookie at oh maybe it was that. Oh that was it. It's a six dollars like it's like a seven hundred calorie giant cookie. And they took something else away. Yeah, it was the cookie and then and people think they're going to compete with Crumble. Yeah, but that's six bucks it's a giant cookie.

5:42 I think it's seven hundred calories giant double chocolate chunk cookie. Fuck ude, I need Oh maybe it's cheaper on I thought two forty nine. I mean that's probably six bucks at Crumble. How crazy? No do crumble soakes? Crumble Crumble is expensive. Yeah, it's pretty good, like for the turroll's gone. Yeah, see, I you knew it was something iconic. Oh that's crazy. That's so wrong that cook You I under in California. You yeah, and you think they could just like add a machine or to and do both. Yeah, Like I understand it's they're not a restaurant, but they're they're snack menu's like pretty iconic. Yeah, I hate that pizza my whole life, and it's all like good. It really is like good, Like it's not the best pizza on the planet, but that's a good pizza. It's it's a decent pizza. If you put it in that the it's like nineteen ninety five Dominoes. I was gonna say, if you put it in that category, if you compare it to the Dominoes, the Pizza Huts, the Little Caesars, like, it's it's definitely an I mean Zackramento.

6:42 We have pretty damn good pizza. Actually, we have some options that are pretty good. Nothing's as good as Prince Street Pizza. Holy fuck was that it's in New York. I went there on a whim because it was next to my hotel. It's in an alley, not an alley, but a smaller road. Prince Street gets pretty small towards the sow east of Manhattan, and I just walked by it and it was empty, and there's all these famous people on the wall. But that's every pizza place, right, you don't really know in New York. And I had it. I was like, fuck, that's good. Then within the last probably six years. That was probably seven years ago, but down the list six years I forgot who I don't want to miss quote, but I might have been the one hundred brand did a collab with them. I was like, oh, fuck, Like they're on the come up now. There's a brand new hotel in Vegas called the Durango, and one of their main goals. It's kind of in the suburbs, so it's like a locals casino. And they're a little bit smaller obviously, and sometimes they're a little bit nicer, to be honest, where you go to, like depending on the casino you go to, like the food court and it's sub fields and shit like that. It's like them all. This one's all like unique ass shit. So they brought Prince Street into this play. It's like an oyster bar. It's all this face some kind of burger plays from La huh that I hadn't heard of but supposed to be famous. But I just had it again, and it is, you know, because you hype shit up in your mind, right, and if you're hungry, Oh that's so good. It's the best whatever. It depends, Yeah, it depends. But I wasn't even that hungry this time, and I slammed. I was like, fuck, it is that good.

8:09 It's like as good as my memory. Yeah, it's excellent. I feel that's rare. Macros on a Costco hot dog h three hundred and sixteen calories, tween grams of fat, eleven grams of protein. However, yeah, like a little piece of bacon, thirty one grabs of carbs, probably mostly bun so say you had three of them, hose he's eating maybe a thousand galleries. Yeah, of course you're gonna lose weight. Anyone will lose weight. A thousand calories is so little. So my question, what thing could you eat for every meal for a week. There's a lot of stuff, to be honest, I mean I eat the same thing for every meal. Right, Well, it's kind of boring. What so now these are just these are the treats chipall Li burrito Ez. Yeah, probably like a decent hamburger, because that's kind of what I do. I eat ground beef all day, every day from almost anywhere. I mean, honestly, I'm so fat. Anything one week that ain't shit. One week I'm thinking the rest of my life. One week I could do like Donald's, I could do Wendy's, I could do kind of anything. But yeah, the thing because I don't eat out out a lot, or if I eat out, it's like I try to do nice meals rather than fast food. But fast foodiest oatlay and Chick fil A probably every day. Yeah, I mean I kind of fell out of love with Chick fil A. Everything tasted overprocessed to me. The chicken sandwich started feeling like the chicken sandwich, the frozen one that Costco sells. Yeah, it's probably similar, Yeah, real similar to that the only real redeeming Chick fil A is the fries. Fries are pretty

9:43 good to the waffle fries, and their milkshakes are pretty good. Yeah, milk tastes are fine. Yeah, cookies are pretty good. Yeah. I do like because then when I go out, I'll do like their grilled chicken and a salad. Yeah you know what I mean. It's still gets some kind of fast food in me, because if you're trying to diet at all, you're just you're not really be able to slam like a big Mac. No, it just doesn't really work. Twelve six hundred calories for a normal one, Yeah, that's no protein, it's all fat. So but the double I'll try it. I really do want to do like a food channel. I've talked about it forever, just because like there is some fun like that cookie sounds fun to try. Yeah, cookie at Subwa would be fun to try the double big Mac. There's always coming out with stuff. I think it flopped, but didn't they do one sub us with not Cardi B But McDonald's did a female wrapper package recently recently. I know they had like the Sweetie thing. Maybe it was Sweetie. I thought it was more recent because they did the Travis Scott one and that one they got my ass.

10:41 I bought about a forty dollars chicken nugget. Fill about that. Yeah, yeah, it's still in my office at home. I bet you it's worth like two hundred bucks right now if I want to resell it. Probably that was an investment. Yeah, yeah, that was crazy and and everyone bought the meal and was tagging them and stuff. But I wonder why they do less of that now, not to like switch our topics. I think they did have a Cardi b meal though, Cardi B an offset. Oh maybe, but then they just broke up, right, so it's probably all. But like growing up, like the nineties were the king of like a Blockbuster movie coming out, and then like McDonald's or Burger King partnering with them, yeah right, like Batman Forever, like all the Kid's Toy is a special gig. The Monopoly game like fast Food used to be lit bro like they made it so addicting, like mentally, I played the shit out of the Monopoly game. Oh really yeah. The The thing that is super sad as far as I'm concerned, though, is that they partner with some movie that totally flops. Yeah, for two months or more. Shit is about that?

11:41 That is that's that's a rough go. Yeah. You have to go with like iconic ones, like even the worst Batman movie it's still Batman. Yeah, you have to like do some shit like that. Yeah, like Burger King. I remember Burger King did some kind of yeah, like kids movie. It might have been like Toys or what's the one toy Soldiers or something. Is one of the first movies that Tom Cruise was in No way that probably wasn't that because I'm talking nineties. Yeah, I think it was nineties, but it wasn't a kid's movie. This is like a kid's movie. Well it's like a little g I Joe talks and ship and that's probably one of the ones that flopped. And you're just getting the cup for a year. Yeah, that's bad. Would you eat? Just recently, I have fellen fallen into uh the black hole of Mama Fuku. Air dried noodles from Target sells them, but they're all over the place, and so it's like they're they're not The noodles are not fried. They're air dried, and it's like four cups of water. Yeah, three minutes, you know, boil and then there's a couple of packets and you can put you put chicken or turkey and whatever and a green in there, and it's delicious. That whole world is coming up like a bunch of company. Shout on my boy, Anthony, and that the Kinjas have their own this dance group has their own noodle like that. Kyle, Well, there's a shit ton in our pantry like of different companies and flavors. Because it makes sense. It's like not unhealthy. Obviously, sodium is probably high. The sodium is very but whatever, Like if you're handling everything else, you'll probably find with sodium.

13:13 And then yeah, you can kind of like customize it. And it is kind of like, you know, if you guys go back and listen to the duck shit, it is kind of like the convenient microwaveable esque dinner. Right that's not literally just plastic chicken, right you know, because those I mean I had those as a kid and I love them. But if I went and had one now, you probably didn't have a bunch of like one ninety nine microwave dinners like hungry Man and she like the bro we my mom would just cook. Yeah, yeah, my mom cooked a little bit, but mom the mom worked at ship Tons, so she'd be at the school till like six at nights sometimes, so she wouldn't be like when she was off, she cooked every dinner. But as a kid, kid, we'd be slamming those. And then we went through a couple of years where we're dead broke, so a one ninety nine dinner, like, but the hell's that? That's like the little couple, little one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it makes sense, yeah that that market is cool though. Yeah, we went to what market we go to here in Southsick with ivy, I don't remember the name of it. There's like an Asian market we went to, and there's a fucking saxt State, Yeah, sax City. Yeah, there's like aisles of the different kinds of news. My wife. Those are cool, they're cool. What's the big one not h P A P A H mart Art And then there's the one out in Rancho and yeah, I've been to the one in Rancho. H mort. I think it is a change because I think they're bringing one of the Yeah, they definitely want to come into South Sack. Yeah, but I think people like them. Yeah, they do good. I all, yeah, little but Vegas. I don't think so, just because we are so diverse. Here you see a Cat Williams thing we didn't mention. We

14:46 should shout it out. The Cat Williams interview that took the Internet by storm. No, so he went crazy with Shannon Sharp and he's talking ship on all Hollywood, et cetera, et cetera. But one cool thing. And I knew he was iconic because of Sacramento, because he got arrested here. I wish he told he like, stole some kids scooter and got arrested. Yeah Williams, Kat Williams. That was probably my college years, maybe so maybe ten fifteen years ago. He stole a fucking scooter after his show or something like that. And I don't think it was violent. You know, it's probably him being a goofy. But he got thrown in jail that night. He talks about the show, is that he kind of fell into comedy. He was homeless for a bit and he was, uh, how did it start? He went to Florida, didn't know what he was doing, and then maybe he got a chance to open. He won a contest and he got to open for someone in like Oklahoma City, and then he's like, oh, I'm gonna be a comedian, Like this went okay, better than I expected. And he's like, I want to be a laugh and so he particularly says he went to Sacramento and in his words, which is not exactly accurate, but it is true, he's like, it's fifty percent white and fifty percent black, so I could just make all the white people laugh, and then I can make all the black people laugh, and then I know I'd be a good comedian. And then after that he's like, well, and then black comedy was on the come up with Cedric and all those guys, like see that I moved to Oakland and I wanted to dig in that way make him laugh. But he said he lived here for two years. Yeah, I knew that was true. Yeah, I didn't know that. I think that. Yeah. I think maybe wherever he was, wherever he was doing comedy insach, the audience could have been composed like that.

16:15 All right, you know, our our surrounding popularly like that. No. I literally a couple of years we've been I think, statistically the most diverse city in nation. I've heard. I think that, like on the average in in California big cities is about nine percent black people, and it's the twelve something here, so it's a little bit higher. But yeah, we have ten percent of Afghanis in all America. Yeah, we have every Asian you can think in these big Filipino communities to use. The Russian community is really really really huge. Yeah, Ukrainian. Yeah, it is really diverse, which is interesting, but that's so yeah, I would just try to up the protein on that. And I don't just deal with a week of the salt and have my ankles swell in one week. Is not gonna be ship. Although I don't even like hot dogs, a week I could do. Yeah, like I could do a week of something I didn't like if I had to. How do you not like hot dogs? I don't dislike, but same thing. It's not like the like a really good hot dog is outstanding experience. I like them, but it's never I'm never like, man, I could go for a wiener right now, you know that sounds like a person, do it? That nice place we went to in La or even here a low brow, lowbrow, you know, and that's more of like a sausage than a ween per se but I like them like a brad or. Yeah, but if I'm gonna eat something all fatty and greasy, I'm probably going you like street hot dogs. Yeah, I'll eat that too, but still probably going like pizza, you know, because I don't eat junk. A streamline when I eat junk, and then it'll be pizza or pasta, you know what I mean. And obviously they're not in

17:48 the same category because hot dog costs a dollar and a nice pasta dish costs fifty. But yeah, but that's kind of the point too, right, Like I don't want to just like I don't. I don't spend a lot of money on my daily food, so when I do trash, I'm gonna try to eat nice tracks, even bad trash. I like like popcorn, I got a movie or something. But if everyone's like, let's go grab a wiener, I'll throw thee back the outside. We went to King's game during the break and there are vendors on the street selling those bacon wrapped hot dogs. Yeah, I feel like they look old. They always look a little a MPM. Yeah, yeah, you know, two am aam PM to me. But my best experience with that was actually sausage and not hot dogs, sausage and onions and peppers. Outside of Fenway in Boston, Oh my god, best thing ever for some reason. Places in the around Toronto one time, and there wasn't even a game anywhere, and they have those type of vendors and the food all looks smells hello, good, looks fresh.

18:47 Yeah. New York City is the same New York Yeah, every day everywhere. The ice cream trucks that everything's pretty good trucks. Yeah, they're all pretty good. But California is a little sketch here. You could do it, but I don't know why we don't have more. Uh, I guess our rules. I know our food truck rules are weird. But coming out of games or concerts in our arena, I've never really seen a lot of that. We had a Belgian waffle guy for a while, yeah, but I haven't seen a shit ton of hot dogs or even guys like selling T shirts and shiit. Maybe just we're too small of a city. Yeah, speaking of Belgian crack, but we're talking about food. The best Belgian waffle I ever had was in Antwerp. It's like a one man shop, like it was on It was next to a building, but it was it was a little standalone thing. He did everything himself. Yeah, banged it out, banged it out, was so good, had so much whipped cream on it. There was like whip cream on the ground outside because people were just like eating. Oh my god, Wow, I like a good waffle.

19:47 I haven't tried the one by the arena, and I haven't seen him lately. But I haven't been to a game this year either, so so this is the only one I've been to. Yeah, we're balling. Yeah, I can now see the beam from my house. I didn't used to be able to. Yeah. I think they just strengthened it. They cranked it up. Now. It's like I think they can shoot down spaceships now within How amazing With that being true. All right, that's all I got in this one, Ladies and gentlemen, we'll talk more food coming up.
