Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, it's Josh Johnson and we want to know
Speaker 1: what do you want to hear us argue about next
Speaker 1: on the show. Okay, it's very easy to let us know.
Speaker 1: You can drop a comment on any of the Daily
Speaker 1: Shows clips of hold Up, whether it's Instagram, Facebook, TikTok,
Speaker 1: YouTube or Twitter. You can also hit us up with
Speaker 1: the hashtag hold up and honestly, if we have an
Speaker 1: opinion about it, we'll do an episode about it. We
Speaker 1: both love to talk, we love to argue, and we
Speaker 1: love you, so without anything else, let's let's get into
Speaker 1: the show. Hey, everybody, welcome to hold Up. It's a
Speaker 1: the show that's a lot about nothing. It's a big
Speaker 1: arguments about small things. I am one of your co host.
Speaker 1: My name is Josh Johnson. I'm a writer for The
Speaker 1: Daily Show, and I am joined by don't say slan.
Speaker 1: You could also make a noise and you say no,
Speaker 1: it's it's fine, it's fine. I didn't even say anything
Speaker 1: this time. I wasn't even said why you can't be
Speaker 1: like it's Josh, like you could do no, no, I'm
Speaker 1: with you, but instead you want to hate on my
Speaker 1: I wasn't hating. I didn't even say any face, my face.
Speaker 1: I was looking down. I felt it through computer daughter. Okay,
Speaker 1: I mean, if you say so, all right, But I
Speaker 1: really wasn't even thinking about this stuff. I I want
Speaker 1: to tell the people. M hmm. Today's topic is uh,
Speaker 1: it's something that I even know would be contentious. You know,
Speaker 1: we talked about small things. This is so small that
Speaker 1: I didn't I never even thought it would come up
Speaker 1: on the show. One of our listeners shout out to
Speaker 1: Misty on the YouTube's brought it to us, and um,
Speaker 1: we just didn't. You don't know till you know, you know,
Speaker 1: until you feel it coming on. It's one of those
Speaker 1: things you're like, oh, you know what, I do have
Speaker 1: a our friends on this, and that should be discussed.
Speaker 1: Today's topic is um, French Fries versus on your rings. Well,
Speaker 1: I think we should do is give the people one
Speaker 1: a moment to decide where they stand on this and
Speaker 1: to a moment to decide where they think we are
Speaker 1: going to stand. Play the music and we're back. Okay, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: what did you decide? What did I decide? Where do
Speaker 1: you think? Where did you land on this? Joshua? I
Speaker 1: am French Fries. I'm on your rings. I'm on your rings.
Speaker 1: I wrong again? Wow, wrong, wrong and wrong again. You
Speaker 1: said it because I didn't say it about you, because
Speaker 1: usually I'm the one telling you. Hey. But look, I
Speaker 1: can admit sometimes I'm not right, but I can easily
Speaker 1: admit when you're wrong. That comes to me quickly. Any old,
Speaker 1: any old person, okay, any any anyone that walks in
Speaker 1: nature doesn't anyone who takes breath can cut up a potato,
Speaker 1: m put it in hot grease. The onion ring you
Speaker 1: have to onon rings aren't offered everywhere. Onion rings. There's
Speaker 1: different levels right to the onion ring. Some of them
Speaker 1: are freshly made, some of them prepackaged. And also, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna throw in there's something that's onion ring adjacent
Speaker 1: that I think I can throw in here, and I
Speaker 1: think people are really going to get on board with,
Speaker 1: and that is the blooming onion. Awesome blossom. You can
Speaker 1: throw that in there. If tomato soup can be fucking catchup,
Speaker 1: if tomato soup can be catch up. So, onion rings
Speaker 1: were truly a red herring. Under rings were out here
Speaker 1: just standing in the way before you could be like
Speaker 1: blow blooming onion. No on Yours were not a red herring.
Speaker 1: There were a blue marlin. So you're telling me that
Speaker 1: you would rather in your life hot battered grease over
Speaker 1: onions then a delicious, freshly cut, crinkled or curly potato,
Speaker 1: because you're also giving up curly cues, all right, giving
Speaker 1: up getting giving up all types of fries, because we're
Speaker 1: when we say French fries, I'm not talking about just
Speaker 1: one type of bagged, type of frozen type of fry.
Speaker 1: All right, you're giving up the home fries style. Okay,
Speaker 1: your hash on their mashed potatoes, make a make a decision.
Speaker 1: You're giving up the waffle fry. Fine, just keep saying
Speaker 1: wild things. Let's and this is what you don't know
Speaker 1: about me. I'm not really fan of the potato to
Speaker 1: start with. There are sometimes where you say things where
Speaker 1: I'm like, I can't help you that it's really interesting,
Speaker 1: like I love rice in regardless of my Irish last name,
Speaker 1: because you know Slavery. I'm not a huge potato fan. Um.
Speaker 1: I don't know when is that. I could tell you
Speaker 1: it's probably been more than a decade since I've eaten
Speaker 1: a mashed potato. I don't cook them at my house.
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't buy them. I don't buy
Speaker 1: the really eat it. The only time I have a
Speaker 1: potato really is if I'm eating like a potato chip
Speaker 1: or a French fry, and I don't really and so
Speaker 1: the only really French fries I really really like other
Speaker 1: crinkle cut fries with lowry seasoning, salt, okay, with hot wings.
Speaker 1: So unless that's happening like the shoe string potato or
Speaker 1: like the releasent one my my nemesis, they're off in
Speaker 1: an assult to adulthood. But like curly fries are good
Speaker 1: because there's always seasoned. But I always wonder whenever I
Speaker 1: see a curly fried, and I'm like, okay, but like
Speaker 1: where is the rest of because they can't all be
Speaker 1: like curly fries are interesting. I just don't understand how
Speaker 1: they make them. Um, I do understand people like people
Speaker 1: love potatoes, people love bread. I don't love those things.
Speaker 1: You you need, you need listen. I'm always surprised about
Speaker 1: how ether size when I don't eat the very starchy things.
Speaker 1: But there's other things that will make you fat, like genetics,
Speaker 1: Like I just this is genetics in your life. The
Speaker 1: love of a French fry. I would rather eat a tortia.
Speaker 1: I'd rather eat a slice tortilla deep fried. Cutting the
Speaker 1: strips potatoes have been bad. I'm not even saying that
Speaker 1: that's that's a crazy thing. I'm just saying, a French
Speaker 1: frid what you're missing out on in life? Because here's
Speaker 1: thinking I gave up onion rings today, I'd be given
Speaker 1: up something that I ate once, maybe a year, by accident,
Speaker 1: because it's just what was at the table. Everyone decided
Speaker 1: to split everything, and it's what somebody ordered. You know,
Speaker 1: Onion rings can be done badly. Yeah, they can be.
Speaker 1: I mean it also depends on you. Gotta get the
Speaker 1: right because this is where I gain or lose respect
Speaker 1: for somebody's onion ring. Okay, it all it exactly. It
Speaker 1: all starts around the fold, around the actual onion. Because
Speaker 1: if I bite in and there is a shoe string
Speaker 1: of onion for this big old onion ring and I've
Speaker 1: got nothing but a mouthful of corn meal, a We're
Speaker 1: not friends anymore, you know, I hear you. I've also
Speaker 1: had French fries that were overdone, that we're underdone, that
Speaker 1: we're cold, that were you know, there's the steak fry.
Speaker 1: There's the you don't like a steak fry. It's just
Speaker 1: it's just too much potato. Sometimes you say it like
Speaker 1: you've really been through it with them, Like you said
Speaker 1: it like you try to give him a chance, And
Speaker 1: then I really did. But my mom got this KFC
Speaker 1: face and my brothers. One of my brother's homeboys used
Speaker 1: to work at KFC, so we would get hooked up
Speaker 1: all the time, and eventually I was just like, I
Speaker 1: can't eat a quarter of a potato. M So when
Speaker 1: you give me the fries, So it's like, first of all,
Speaker 1: they only gave you like five fries. When you ate
Speaker 1: all of them, you ate an entire ps like you
Speaker 1: could put them together and they would make one whole potato.
Speaker 1: And sometimes when you're chewing our friends right, like, sometimes
Speaker 1: I'll just get stuck in your chest like you ever
Speaker 1: had that? That has happened, and that is terrifying, right,
Speaker 1: You're just like, that's what I'm like, I shouldn't be
Speaker 1: eating any of this stuff, clearly because I've never had
Speaker 1: I've never had a carrot get stuck. M gonna do
Speaker 1: you like that carried on slide side stipping slide These
Speaker 1: potatoes on the other hand, are just holding on all
Speaker 1: the way down. Yeah, I'm with you. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: either one of these are healthy. No. Also, sidebar, are
Speaker 1: you in a short sleeve shirt? What you wear a
Speaker 1: short sleeve shirt? Maybe let you see? No? Never what
Speaker 1: how dare my modesty? But for those of you that
Speaker 1: don't know, I have never seen Josh Johnson's elbows. So
Speaker 1: if you have Josh is a good Christian woman, You'll
Speaker 1: never see his ankles or his wrist. You will never
Speaker 1: see johnsh Johns's elbows or knees. France that the day,
Speaker 1: not ever, they got pants on at the beach. Yep, yep,
Speaker 1: even when we all when Daily Show went to Miami,
Speaker 1: I walked on the beach a sneakers and long pants.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad I did to see you. I would
Speaker 1: have pushed you in here, not even high waters, like
Speaker 1: straight up ready to go. I would have I would
Speaker 1: have hit you with a clumbo went saying like it
Speaker 1: was a fucking snowball, and I would have gone back
Speaker 1: to my room. I would have put on some different jeans.
Speaker 1: Oh man. The whole time we were in Miami, I
Speaker 1: didn't have a whole anything. I had addressed. There was
Speaker 1: a whole back was out fucking posing for pictures of Trevor.
Speaker 1: My toes were never covered the entire time I was
Speaker 1: in ever. See that's that's like, I mean, that's a
Speaker 1: different discuss and for a different day. But like the
Speaker 1: fact that people are out here thinking that sandals or shoes,
Speaker 1: I cannot abide it. You know, I was born in
Speaker 1: Miami and we lived there, like I was born and raised,
Speaker 1: born in Miami, is raised land in Miami. So the
Speaker 1: fact that I was like, oh I'm home, bro tells
Speaker 1: us out, titties was out, knees was out, the whole, Like,
Speaker 1: come on, doctor. And I'm not even saying I don't
Speaker 1: like sandals. I'm just saying sometimes especially this is a
Speaker 1: New York thing, right, because New York is nasty. So
Speaker 1: sometimes something nasty will happen to somebody's foot in New
Speaker 1: York and they'll act like they had a shoe on.
Speaker 1: But I'll be like, no, you were in sandals, so
Speaker 1: when the rat ran over your foot, of course it
Speaker 1: touched your toes because you're not wearing shoes, right. That's
Speaker 1: just set yourself up for success, is all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: They also you have to pay more attention. I do
Speaker 1: people walking through New York who aren't paying attention. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, if you are walking in New York, it's sandals.
Speaker 1: At the bottom of your foot when you get done
Speaker 1: with your day is black. You're not wearing a shoe,
Speaker 1: then we're out with the elements. I understand Walmart feet
Speaker 1: is an issue, okay, because that's when my country asked
Speaker 1: friend told me, at the bottom of your feet are black.
Speaker 1: She calls it Walmart feet. And the first time she
Speaker 1: said I was like what she said, with your bottom
Speaker 1: of your feeting like people walking through a Walmart barefoot.
Speaker 1: And I was like, this is this. This is thank
Speaker 1: you Lagrange Georgia's because this is this is accurate. I
Speaker 1: love a sandal. I hate when closes. I mean you
Speaker 1: already know the listeners know this. I hate all of
Speaker 1: the ac culture amount that comes with fucking non warm weather.
Speaker 1: I have very pretty feet I have. I got pedicures
Speaker 1: with my mom and everybody go see her home girl
Speaker 1: so she could pick up her with and we are
Speaker 1: pedicures and we were showing our pedicures off and my
Speaker 1: mother was like, look at the baby toe. You never
Speaker 1: seen that full of a nail on the baby toe
Speaker 1: before and her and her own girls in there going
Speaker 1: no why why Everyone at the salon was amazed by
Speaker 1: the full whole nail on this baby toe and they
Speaker 1: were and I was like, my secret, I never wear
Speaker 1: pinching shoes because my mother, you know, she's like, if
Speaker 1: a shoe was cute, she's at fuck that, okay, And
Speaker 1: as soon as it gets warm, told her out, toes
Speaker 1: are out because that ends up happening with people. Because
Speaker 1: I'm not even like a foot person or anything, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, I'm not grossed out by feet,
Speaker 1: but I just don't think about feet, you know. But
Speaker 1: I will say, I will say for most people, you know,
Speaker 1: if you don't react, it didn't happen. I know. But
Speaker 1: I'm gonna react because the way you said, whoops onion rings,
Speaker 1: they have to have there's a time thing. If you
Speaker 1: don't get them right at the right time, it's they're
Speaker 1: gonna be soft. They're gonna be cold. But also like
Speaker 1: a cold French fry, oh, a cold French fry, as
Speaker 1: a punch in the tongue is a punch in the
Speaker 1: tongue and the in your back, Like I don't want
Speaker 1: to feel. I don't want anything that's not back tight,
Speaker 1: Like you're like, I gotta, I gotta finish these. But
Speaker 1: now my back is tight because I ate the cold
Speaker 1: as French fries and ate too many of them because
Speaker 1: but also we have to remember is like I don't
Speaker 1: know what happened a couple of years ago, but like
Speaker 1: or tater talks started hitting restaurants and I was like,
Speaker 1: the funk was this? We I guess it got tired
Speaker 1: of selling them the elementary schools and all, and somebody
Speaker 1: was in a meeting like, yo, I'm telling you, we
Speaker 1: send this to one fucking funky restaurant, you know, some
Speaker 1: cool glass restaurant, and these ships will blow up. And
Speaker 1: now all over the South you get tattos and fucking poutine,
Speaker 1: tater tots and all kinds of ship and tater tots.
Speaker 1: You know what tater tots are. They're the hot dogs
Speaker 1: of potatoes. First of all, how dare you? No? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: that's how it happened. Do you ever see that show
Speaker 1: How It's Made? No? Maybe I have, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Oh that show How It's Made. Josh was on that
Speaker 1: show How it Was Made? They I've never seen your
Speaker 1: four arms um on that show How It's Made. They
Speaker 1: were saying that tater talks came about because when they
Speaker 1: would make French fries there would be these off cuts
Speaker 1: and they were like throwing away all of this like
Speaker 1: off cut, and they're like, wait a minute, how do
Speaker 1: we utilize these because the pieces would be so small
Speaker 1: you couldn't turn them in anything else. And somebody was
Speaker 1: in some dude was like, hey, I found thinking about
Speaker 1: this and that's on tear tizes have got invented because
Speaker 1: they were all the fucking off cuts of French fries.
Speaker 1: Would you consider the tater tide of French fry? Do
Speaker 1: you do? You really believe that? Because I understand the
Speaker 1: n pieces, I understand the origin. But now when people
Speaker 1: are specifically making tear totes under themselves, do you consider
Speaker 1: those French fries? I don't think so. You don't think so,
Speaker 1: because I feel like they fall in camp. They fall
Speaker 1: in camp, they fall in camp um. Because also, like
Speaker 1: you know, there's two different types of hashbrowns. There's the
Speaker 1: hash browns that are like the ones from a Awful House,
Speaker 1: and then there's the hashbrowns are the ones from McDonald's
Speaker 1: knowing to McDonald's are just flat just grown up tear
Speaker 1: talks basically, yeah, yeah, but I do. I do love
Speaker 1: love a McDonald's hash brown. When I was little, McDonald's
Speaker 1: hash brown and McDonald's fries were the only reasons that
Speaker 1: I like even looked at the McDonald's. I like the
Speaker 1: toy sometimes, but I wasn't a burger kid. Like like
Speaker 1: I grew to like hamburgers, but when I was a
Speaker 1: little kid, the hash browns and the French fries We're
Speaker 1: all I needed. You didn't like burgers as a kid,
Speaker 1: I thought they were fine, but I wasn't excited. I
Speaker 1: think we've all given the burger entirely too much credit
Speaker 1: because we act like that this is like this magnets,
Speaker 1: let's American fair food. I was also the saddest, Like
Speaker 1: we go to an American fair restaurant, You're just like, okay,
Speaker 1: a burger and then what like tell me because like,
Speaker 1: because America is just slapped ash fucking place, because America
Speaker 1: is a business and not a country. Truly. We talked
Speaker 1: about fucking freedom, but it's it's a fucking business more
Speaker 1: than anything. Remember as a kid, getting like one of
Speaker 1: those kids across the World books, and they would have
Speaker 1: kids in their traditional clothing of their country. And then
Speaker 1: it got to the United States and it was a
Speaker 1: kid is I because I was a boy and a girl. Right,
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at the traditional clothing of Poland, fucking uh, China, Japan, Mexico,
Speaker 1: Argentina right, showing you that, Russia showing you the traditional
Speaker 1: clothing of these countries and a little paint with water book.
Speaker 1: It gets to America fucking T shirt and jeans m hm,
Speaker 1: and I was like, we have nothing. We have nothing.
Speaker 1: So it's like that's why I think about it, Like
Speaker 1: America is just like because we're a fucking we invented
Speaker 1: the jeans, right, we invented dinnam right, just so it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: I get it. I'm sure we invented, but it's also
Speaker 1: we invented denam to protect people from machinery. And people
Speaker 1: are like, I love wearing jeans, and I'm like, bitch,
Speaker 1: you're in and like you're in a you're in protective gear.
Speaker 1: Like it's like and plus, jeans have never been comfortable.
Speaker 1: We can all calm down, right, So it's like American's
Speaker 1: a fucking business. It's like of course, it's like we
Speaker 1: have a few things, let's get them right, French fries
Speaker 1: and figured that the funk out the potato. The onon ring,
Speaker 1: it's like it's a delicate balance. I'll give its delicate balance,
Speaker 1: you know. Onion rings are like when you get a
Speaker 1: good onon ring with a little bit of give, crispy
Speaker 1: but a little bit of give. Also those are like
Speaker 1: a good solid onion in there. Yeah, yeah, something with
Speaker 1: a bit of crunch, right, because you've had onion rings
Speaker 1: where just like all these just been sitting in the
Speaker 1: window where the fund was the server, right, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you right now too. Sometimes you bite in and you
Speaker 1: get like this and this is maybe this this is
Speaker 1: maybe too specific of an experience, but I feel like
Speaker 1: this must happen other people. You bite into the onon ring, right,
Speaker 1: you get you get halfway through, and that's when you
Speaker 1: realize that, like the rest of the onion ring itself,
Speaker 1: the actual onion is like, now we go together. You're
Speaker 1: not biting through anything, and so now you've been through
Speaker 1: the crust of the onion ring. But the actual onion
Speaker 1: is tough. It's like a little slimy, and it's like
Speaker 1: it's not gonna break for you. What I don't like
Speaker 1: is when people don't peel enough of the onion, so
Speaker 1: you've got the flesh of an onion and then you
Speaker 1: get that papery part because it's all in the same
Speaker 1: yep yep. Yeah. And I and the just the anger
Speaker 1: I had one day these were good onion rings and
Speaker 1: this was the last one, and I was like, you
Speaker 1: mother fuckers. Why, But like also, but then there's like
Speaker 1: the burger King onion ring and just sometimes getting your friers.
Speaker 1: You're just like because one of my friends she was like,
Speaker 1: she only likes the burger King onion ring. And I
Speaker 1: was like, but it's not even like a real it's
Speaker 1: like an onion kind of someone's like onion paste in there.
Speaker 1: It's not like a real It's not like because you've
Speaker 1: got an onion ring in your friens before burger King,
Speaker 1: there's not it's not like it's a real I don't
Speaker 1: think it's like a real onion onion in there. And
Speaker 1: she was like, yeah, that's why I like it, because
Speaker 1: it's not a real onion. But it's like I because
Speaker 1: any time I see onion rings on the menu, I
Speaker 1: get excited. Every time I don't always order them because
Speaker 1: I'm just like, you know what, you need to calm that.
Speaker 1: You need to calm down. You need to calm down.
Speaker 1: I've been looking at the thing that's a thing on TikTok, like, hey,
Speaker 1: you got too much dipper on your chick. You need
Speaker 1: to relax. You need to relax. And that's what I'm
Speaker 1: trying to do it. I'm not make sure I'm not
Speaker 1: out here with too much diploma chip. Okay, speaking of dip,
Speaker 1: the French fry is the perfect dipping utensil. But but
Speaker 1: that means that you're your focus is the dip and
Speaker 1: not the fry. No, no, it's both, it's both. I love,
Speaker 1: I love what a burger? What a burger? Water burger?
Speaker 1: People do not honestly, when are they gonna fucking franchise?
Speaker 1: Where are they gonna be bro water Burger? I remember
Speaker 1: I went to Texas one TI. I was like when
Speaker 1: I first started going on the road doing colleges and
Speaker 1: I was starving. I flew in late the night before
Speaker 1: because you always had a fly on that night before,
Speaker 1: and I had no mode of transportation. And this was
Speaker 1: when and uber wasn't popping like it's popping. Now Uber
Speaker 1: Eats wasn't even a thing. So I paid the dude
Speaker 1: in cash to take me through the drive at water Burger.
Speaker 1: And the number of times I remember leaving the Texas
Speaker 1: Airport and I was like, it was like the Dallas
Speaker 1: Airport because I don't think it's in the Austin airport.
Speaker 1: It's not an Austin airport. There's a water Burger in
Speaker 1: the Dallas Airport. At the time, I had to go
Speaker 1: to a different terminal mm hmm, And I was like,
Speaker 1: I actually got to the airport on time. I'm going
Speaker 1: to walk the minutes to this other tournamental to get
Speaker 1: this water Burger and the I'm gonna eat it in
Speaker 1: the plank because when I tell you that the right
Speaker 1: sauce with the right French fry cannot be matched, like
Speaker 1: like you already you've already told me that the lit
Speaker 1: places don't have the onion rings right, so it's not
Speaker 1: even an option in some places, yes, but everybody everywhere
Speaker 1: has French fries. And once again you were talking about it.
Speaker 1: When something is available everywhere, does that make them a
Speaker 1: loose woman? Who? No? Does this make the potato of fluzi?
Speaker 1: Or is it adaptable, industrial and cheap to produce it is.
Speaker 1: But what I would say is I have no problem
Speaker 1: with the potato being an ethical slut, all right, I
Speaker 1: hear you, I hear you. But I think that it's
Speaker 1: not something. A lot of places don't offer onion rings
Speaker 1: because their work right everywhere offers French fries because you
Speaker 1: just buy them frozen. But I think we could do
Speaker 1: better for ourselves when it comes to the French fried potato. Also,
Speaker 1: we cannot talk about French fries and I'll talk about
Speaker 1: the fact that, uh, we started calling them freedom fries.
Speaker 1: I was like, white people don't have enough problems, and
Speaker 1: no one got on boards. No one got on board.
Speaker 1: Freedom fries is great. Do you remember the nonsense? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess the French wouldn't go to war with us
Speaker 1: or some ship. So we stopped. Like they're like, we're
Speaker 1: calling was like, it doesn't They don't even call these that.
Speaker 1: They don't call them French fries. We do. They call
Speaker 1: them palm fruits, which is it's just fried fucking potatoes. Now,
Speaker 1: does every type of country do a French fry? I
Speaker 1: don't know, because I feel like an onion ring is
Speaker 1: very American specific. Yes, it's one of those things where
Speaker 1: like this is just us, We're the only ones doing
Speaker 1: this because honestly, I've been to Australia. I ain't seen
Speaker 1: now bloom and onion the whole fucking time I was there.
Speaker 1: But they don't. They do have onions. Everywhere has onions.
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm always taken aback wide because the
Speaker 1: blooming onion. Because this is the thing. This is also
Speaker 1: why a part of me took issue with you wrapping
Speaker 1: the bloomen on get into the your rag, because they're
Speaker 1: not two different things. They're almost like tater tots and
Speaker 1: French fries. But the bloom and onion the power of
Speaker 1: a blue. But hey when you remember my first blue
Speaker 1: but oh yeah, it's amazing. Oh I think this is
Speaker 1: all I eat now, right, which is you you would die,
Speaker 1: don't do that, but truly die. But the bloom and onion.
Speaker 1: I'm blown away that more countries aren't doing that. I
Speaker 1: remember I worked at this place called Old Time Potter
Speaker 1: and I was in high school and I bought you know,
Speaker 1: you actually have to like the cuts for that thing
Speaker 1: are actually really hard to do and just a regular
Speaker 1: because there's so many because it's like you have to
Speaker 1: cut it so much, but you can't get through the
Speaker 1: base of it. I wout to fall apart, and I
Speaker 1: remember buying the little it's almost like a guess what
Speaker 1: there's going to call it as a jig where it's
Speaker 1: got the it's slots as the two but slots in it,
Speaker 1: and you cut off the top like the very top
Speaker 1: of an onion. You put this down in it, and
Speaker 1: then you do you go around with a knife and
Speaker 1: just do all of these cuts. And then we made
Speaker 1: the tempera batter on Friday. Now was like we we
Speaker 1: we were going to do this all the time, like
Speaker 1: this is a problem. But the first time you have
Speaker 1: a blew it on your cut it, you put it
Speaker 1: in a little sauce. Now, the other thing is the
Speaker 1: range that the French fries are coming with, because, like
Speaker 1: I said before, you got the waffle fried, you've got
Speaker 1: the thick cut fries, You've got the skinny, itty bitty fries,
Speaker 1: you've got the curly fries, you've got the sweet potato fries.
Speaker 1: Now that's a whole different creature, sweet potato. They are
Speaker 1: out here doing everything that the regular French fries doing
Speaker 1: in the same shapes and the same size. But this
Speaker 1: is the thing with the sweet potato fry. If you
Speaker 1: don't know how to fry that bitch, right, you just
Speaker 1: have a mushy orange French fry. No, that's true. That
Speaker 1: the number of times I've just had just the mushy
Speaker 1: foldable limp flash and sweet potato fry. Yeah, and you
Speaker 1: want people teti fries to be good. You don't succeed, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you want them to succeed. You know, it's nice to
Speaker 1: see some diversity in the fry industry, right, A potato
Speaker 1: of color just coming in? Yeah, sure, you know what
Speaker 1: the title of color. I'm with you, though, It's time
Speaker 1: we end the segregation at the plate. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: people already don't want their food to touch. So I
Speaker 1: think it's like the your ring is like when I
Speaker 1: see them, I get them, and there's it's I can
Speaker 1: see them for as much as I really love them.
Speaker 1: I've been disappointed so many times, but I keep trying.
Speaker 1: It's like I'm a believer. It's like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I went back to the same man multiple times in
Speaker 1: eight years, and it was never good. So I'm already
Speaker 1: making bad decisions. Why not just keep trying these fucking
Speaker 1: onion rings. But when you get an onion ring, that's good.
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, because like my mom made on your rings.
Speaker 1: One day, man, my mom be cooking bro I saw
Speaker 1: her one day temper a fry a pound of broccoli
Speaker 1: and two pounds of green beans, and it sounds like
Speaker 1: a lot, but it's not. You think a pound is
Speaker 1: bigger than what it is. And she's doing it. And
Speaker 1: my brother was like, why are you frying these vegetables?
Speaker 1: Even healthy? And my mother was like, honestly, she's sitting
Speaker 1: there eating fire green She's like, honestly, I never even
Speaker 1: like vegetables. I just ate them for y'all. And she's
Speaker 1: sitting there. Let me let me throw this out there, though,
Speaker 1: let me throw this out there. I think one of
Speaker 1: the only reasons that we fry green beans is because
Speaker 1: we have potatoes and we have French fries. And somebody
Speaker 1: looked at a green being one day and they were like,
Speaker 1: what if this was a French fry too? Hm. I
Speaker 1: think that that's what happened. I have no proof, there
Speaker 1: is no evidence behind what I'm saying, but oh, it's
Speaker 1: like I believe that, Like, after thinking about it, I
Speaker 1: think magnetic lashes are gonna make women cross when not
Speaker 1: women whoever wears magnetic lashes, I think it's gonna make
Speaker 1: them cross at And because I was saying to my mom,
Speaker 1: I was like, I always try his magnetic glass because
Speaker 1: she wears lashes all the time. And then I was like,
Speaker 1: I think many people cross, Like why don't you going
Speaker 1: to try it? And I was like, no, I changed
Speaker 1: my mind about it. Don't try it, don't do it,
Speaker 1: don't do it, don't do it. I have absolutely no
Speaker 1: evidence that a magnetic lash advertised too. So they put
Speaker 1: metal shavings because magnets need metal. Yeah. Yeah, So there's
Speaker 1: metal shavings in an eyelighter and you put the liner
Speaker 1: on your eyes and then you put it on the lash,
Speaker 1: and then because of magnetism, is stick to your fucking eyes.
Speaker 1: This seems like a bad idea. Thank you of metal
Speaker 1: that they were like, there's some metal shavings in the water.
Speaker 1: It's like, all right, that's getting cut up. Or I
Speaker 1: needed just a strong bridle filter. I'll go as far
Speaker 1: as say this, I think that we get the shards
Speaker 1: that we do now of carrot of squash, you know
Speaker 1: those very thin almost circle shards that that people cut
Speaker 1: things into and they either fry them up or they
Speaker 1: serve them as a garnish. I think that that comes
Speaker 1: from curly cues. I think that comes from the shoe
Speaker 1: string fry. Okay, I you know when you see like
Speaker 1: the spiral cut vegetables, or like the zucchini noodle, which
Speaker 1: I tried the zucchini noodle and it really broke my heart. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: I fought for it for a long time. There was
Speaker 1: a place that did zucchini noodles and pat time, and
Speaker 1: I wanted to love it so badly. Every time I
Speaker 1: bit down, I was like, this is too much of
Speaker 1: a battle, This is too much of it. If it's
Speaker 1: on my plate, it should be it should be dead.
Speaker 1: Especially a vegetable fighting back felt very much alive. And
Speaker 1: she was not welcome. No, because it wasn't it was
Speaker 1: a soft crutch. It was the texture was this rofessional
Speaker 1: was not supposed to be at a sauce like this.
Speaker 1: It's like it was coming from a place that should
Speaker 1: have been cooked down. Yes, it would be like if
Speaker 1: you were eating your KFC and in the middle of
Speaker 1: the meal the chicken woke up. It was like, hey,
Speaker 1: why are you eating me? Like yo? I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, could you imagine? I'll say this because
Speaker 1: you know, we've all we both want the restaurants, the
Speaker 1: French fries. They do their own French fries. It's a
Speaker 1: box basically of blades. You put the potato, you pull down,
Speaker 1: You put the potato you pulled down, put the potato
Speaker 1: you pulled out. With the onion ring. You gotta slice
Speaker 1: it up. Then you gotta separate it. Then you got
Speaker 1: to toss it in batter. Then you gotta deep fright.
Speaker 1: So there's way more work that goes into the onion ring.
Speaker 1: But anything that's a classy end of value is gonna
Speaker 1: require more work. The potato is a simple, simple person.
Speaker 1: He's a simple guy, you know, m he's uh, he's
Speaker 1: a simple guy. He probably enjoys staycations. No, probably enjoys
Speaker 1: when your time. Wow, how absolutely there? What you mean?
Speaker 1: I mean the fact that the fact that you tried
Speaker 1: to bring it all the way back around. I'm just
Speaker 1: saying I can understand. Listen, I hayten hating that onion
Speaker 1: rings will never reach the pinnacle, the level, the echelon.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, no no, of a French fry.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no no no. There is no
Speaker 1: echelon to be met when you are pedestrian. Okay, there
Speaker 1: is no there is no to call a perfectly fried
Speaker 1: waffle fried pedestrian. Just lets me know how out of
Speaker 1: touch you really are. A waffle fry is just the
Speaker 1: French fry with complexity. They just had We had somebody
Speaker 1: with some time. That's all. That's all because you know
Speaker 1: what waffle fries people are not. No one's cutting people
Speaker 1: will cut French fries out of restaurant. They don't not
Speaker 1: taking time and a bity restaurant to make their own
Speaker 1: waff of fry. That is a factory. No one's making
Speaker 1: their own curly fries. That is a factory. You understand
Speaker 1: this is factory work. This is factory food. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that it's factory food. It's factory food. Do
Speaker 1: you want do you want people in your kit? I'm
Speaker 1: not saying I don't have to join in my life.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is that I want to expand my experiences. Okay,
Speaker 1: I want to do new things with my palette. Everybody
Speaker 1: sells French fries. If you got hot grease, you can
Speaker 1: sell a fucking French fry. Not everybody's taking the time
Speaker 1: needed to make a waff of fry because it's not
Speaker 1: for everybody. Okay, that's not work that everyone can do.
Speaker 1: You have to know what your skill level is, your
Speaker 1: level of determination, Okay, your ability to make this batter,
Speaker 1: to make sure these fries, make these on your rings
Speaker 1: is cut right. French fries doesn't shoot. They strap it
Speaker 1: to the wall. That French fries culdn't thing. If you've
Speaker 1: made your own fries in your own restaurant. They strapped
Speaker 1: that bitch to the wall. All Right, you know what
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. We're gonna kick it over to the listener.
