SPEAKER_04 1:06

Well, as long as it's nice. That's the thing about saying things on the record, Jackson. Once you say it on the record, it's like squirting toothpaste out of a out of a jar. Once it's out, you can't put it back. Huh?

Um, so talk into your mic.

unknown 5:28

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 5:29

So at the time So let's start at your worst.

SPEAKER_00 5:31

At my worst, I will do like not even the worst.

SPEAKER_04 5:34

Maybe it's your top five.

SPEAKER_00 5:35

Yeah, like I know.

SPEAKER_04 5:36

And then we'll do the least five.

SPEAKER_00 5:38

Oh.

SPEAKER_04 5:39

Yeah, it's a good idea.

SPEAKER_00 5:40

So, top five. At my five, I will put like their boneless chicken wings. They're they're good, but they never like stick out like we're like good, good. Yeah. Their chicken nuggets are better.

SPEAKER_04 5:54

Mm, interesting.

SPEAKER_00 5:56

Um, I'll put so for my four, I'll do their spaghetti. Uh, the sauce is really hit or miss.

SPEAKER_04 6:03

Mm-hmm. I can picture just the r- it's just red sauce.

SPEAKER_00 6:06

Like, sauce is either really bitter sometimes.

SPEAKER_04 6:10

Which you describe everything as bitter. That's your word. No. That's your adjective.

SPEAKER_00 6:15

Um, it's either really sweet or it's like perfect. My my three, I I'm gonna say they're macaroni and cheese. They might it's like homemade.

SPEAKER_04 6:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:25

Ooh, they're like they're macaroni.

SPEAKER_04 6:27

Is it thick?

SPEAKER_00 6:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 6:28

Yeah. It's like shells or elbows?

SPEAKER_00 6:31

Um, elbows.

SPEAKER_04 6:33

Mm, okay. Yeah, but it's always real thick.

SPEAKER_00 6:35

Yeah, it's like they're like mushy, they're like big too.

SPEAKER_04 6:38

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 6:39

Um on my two, I'm always putting pizza at my two.

SPEAKER_02 6:44

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:44

That's always bro, our school pizza's so good. Like the crust isn't crunchy, but it's not like too rubbery it's a big thing. But which slice?

SPEAKER_04 6:52

The square slice or the triangle slice?

SPEAKER_00 6:54

They don't give out triangle slice.

SPEAKER_04 6:55

Oh, I thought they did. They I thought you had pizza day where they do sometimes.

SPEAKER_00 6:59

It starts crust.

SPEAKER_04 7:01

But traditionally it's the old square slice.

SPEAKER_00 7:03

But their stuffed crust pizza's so disgusting. Really? It's so like I don't know. Like the the cheese crust is just bad. Like it tastes horrible.

SPEAKER_04 7:11

So it's a crust problem.

SPEAKER_00 7:12

Yeah. Um, the pizza is usually the same. But there is like the square pizza so good.

SPEAKER_04 7:19

Yeah, that always slapped in the weirdest way. Like it's not good. But it's so good. But it's because it's rectangle and school pizza, it's good.

SPEAKER_00 7:27

And like the crust is like mush, like rubbery, but in like a good pizza.

SPEAKER_04 7:33

Like snaps, kind of, when you bite it. I remember it. I wonder if we can buy that. I wonder if there's anywhere you can buy that school, actual school pizza.

SPEAKER_00 7:41

Um, at my one spot, I'm putting orange chicken there.

SPEAKER_04 7:45

Really?

SPEAKER_00 7:46

That is like everyone's favorite.

SPEAKER_04 7:50

I'm surprised you even like tried that.

SPEAKER_00 7:53

It's orange chicken.

SPEAKER_04 7:54

I know, but you don't eat anything that's not. Yes, I do. You're a terrible eater. What are you talking about? No, I this is a real podcast. Don't shush me. I've got to put your finger up their lips.

SPEAKER_00 8:03

I'm a good eater. I've gotten better.

SPEAKER_04 8:05

You're better. You have to admit. You're better than Landon, or you're better than my oldest son was at that age.

SPEAKER_00 8:10

Uh, you had to admit, I've gotten way better.

SPEAKER_04 8:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 8:12

But oh my gosh, their orange chicken slaps every time. Really? The trick is get rice on the side because they'll give you more chicken. Because whenever you get rice on the like thing, yeah, doubles up the space. Yeah, it looks like they gave you the same amount of chicken, but when you get on the side, they think, oh, that's way too small. Yeah. And then they give you a double scoop.

SPEAKER_04 8:33

Oh yeah. There's a little my uh I my high school um lunch ladies just loved them. They love me. I love them. They gave me a gallon of ranch for my um my graduation gift. So pretty tied in with the lunch. I knew who to schmooze. I knew who to suck up to in high school, and that was the lunch ladies. But that's back when our lunches were bomb.com. We had great lunches.

SPEAKER_00 8:58

I'm gonna say a lunch that made people throw up once.

SPEAKER_04 9:02

What was it?

SPEAKER_00 9:02

Like their country fried steak, bro.

SPEAKER_04 9:05

Hmm. See, country fried steak used to be a good one. White gravy?

SPEAKER_00 9:08

Mashed potatoes and gravy.

SPEAKER_04 9:09

White gravy?

SPEAKER_00 9:10

Yeah. They no, not white gravy, brown gravy.

SPEAKER_04 9:13

Oh no. No, brown gravy sucks.

SPEAKER_00 9:16

They ate it? I saw someone, a kid on the playground throwing up.

SPEAKER_04 9:21

Dude.

SPEAKER_00 9:22

Okay, now my least favorite.

SPEAKER_04 9:24

Yeah, least favorite five.

SPEAKER_00 9:26

So then is number one my like least favorite?

SPEAKER_04 9:29

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 9:30

Okay, so five, my not my least favorite. I don't like it. Excuse me. Um They're ham and cheese.

SPEAKER_04 9:40

Yeah. Just like Is it cold?

SPEAKER_00 9:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 9:44

Just regular bread? Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 9:46

Wait, can I substitute?

SPEAKER_04 9:47

That's what I used to eat in ISS.

SPEAKER_00 9:49

What was my school suspense? Did you write down my list?

SPEAKER_04 9:52

No, I didn't write down anything.

SPEAKER_00 9:53

Oh, well, I'm changing my third spot for their mac and uh not mac and cheese. Um third was mac and cheese. I'm switching mac and cheese for grilled cheese.

SPEAKER_02 10:04

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 10:04

They're grilled cheese, like it's on Texas toast. It's so crunchy. It like the cheese is actually like melted.

SPEAKER_02 10:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:11

And they always have like a big, like, big bowl of tomato soup or chicken chicken noodle. I own I only ever get chicken noodle because you eat the soup or you just dip it in it? I dip in it, but I also eat it.

SPEAKER_04 10:26

Do you eat it? I've never seen you eat it.

SPEAKER_00 10:28

Um, bro, their tomato soup, it looks like something that came out of a dream, bro. It's horrible.

SPEAKER_04 10:34

Like there's like crimson red alcohol baby. Some put some of that. Those crackers on top.

SPEAKER_00 10:41

It looks like no, the tomato soup looks like pink.

SPEAKER_04 10:44

It should be red.

SPEAKER_00 10:45

It had stuff like floating up at the time.

SPEAKER_04 10:47

No, it's red 40, so who knows?

SPEAKER_00 10:49

Yeah, it's disgusting. Um okay, my so my not my least favorite, but like not I don't like it, but it's not my least favorite. Yeah, I'll go, I'll go my the ham and cheese. Okay. Because I've ate them whenever I've had a really bad lunch, and that was like the only thing that they had. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 11:10

Yeah, beggars can't be choosers when you're hungry.

SPEAKER_00 11:11

Yeah, so I just took it. This might sound weird, but do do you guys put like ketchup on your ham and cheese sandwiches?

SPEAKER_04 11:18

Sometimes I don't mind a little dip. But I don't like a lot on it. I don't mind like just dipping the corner in a little bit and then just I put some on mine that's not bad.

SPEAKER_00 11:27

That probably sounds really weird, but it's you gotta do what you're doing.

SPEAKER_04 11:30

You're talking to me about weird food?

SPEAKER_00 11:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 11:32

Love weird food.

SPEAKER_00 11:33

Like, you gotta do what you gotta do.

SPEAKER_04 11:36

You gotta do what you gotta do, especially in the confines of school. Four? Four.

SPEAKER_00 11:40

I'm gonna go. Actually, this might seem surprising. Hold on, I just blinked out.

SPEAKER_04 11:48

Oh yeah, you know, grab that thought. Sometimes that's just the way it goes.

SPEAKER_00 11:55

I've never had this, but I've heard it's so bad. Like it tastes like roadkill. Um they're sloppy joes.

SPEAKER_04 12:06

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 12:07

It looks like diarrhea, bro.

SPEAKER_04 12:09

You know how you kids like them extra sloppy. You've seen Billy Madison, right?

unknown 12:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 12:15

Um do I remember sloppy joes as a kid? I think so. I think I ate them. I didn't care. But yeah, I can see where they're like, was that my three or four? That was four.

SPEAKER_00 12:26

Okay, so.

SPEAKER_04 12:27

Yeah, sloppy joes ain't bad, but yeah, not my even homemade ones. It's just like meh, it's mid.

SPEAKER_00 12:32

Three? I'm this might seem surprising. I'm going walking tacos.

SPEAKER_04 12:37

Yeah, how come?

SPEAKER_00 12:38

Okay. Seems like uh they don't give us they give us chili cheese fritos for chili cheese Fritos do suck.

SPEAKER_04 12:47

Yeah. Yeah, that's not.

SPEAKER_00 12:48

I I threw up after eating some once.

SPEAKER_04 12:50

Regular Cheetos or just grow up and put them in like Doritos bag. Like it doesn't have to be Fritos.

SPEAKER_00 12:55

They've done that once.

SPEAKER_04 12:56

Yeah, that's the move.

SPEAKER_00 12:57

But it was like the reduced fat one.

SPEAKER_04 12:59

So it's freaking Michelle Obama.

SPEAKER_00 13:02

For real.

SPEAKER_04 13:02

God. Just let the kids eat. Alright.

SPEAKER_00 13:06

Um I wish they get actually for three, no, for my walking doctors, I wish they gave us Cool Ranch Doritos. Okay. I would get Walking Doctors.

SPEAKER_04 13:16

Sweet chili would be the move.

SPEAKER_00 13:17

If they gave us Cool Ranch to Ritos. Or the purple one. The purple ones, the sweet chili ones? Yeah. Oh, it's just so good.

SPEAKER_04 13:24

So if we made them at home, essentially we could make um a couple pounds of ground beef, taco seasoning. Like that'd be a good that's a good supper. You gotta remind me of that.

SPEAKER_00 13:33

They have taco sauce at school.

SPEAKER_04 13:35

Yeah, you gotta remind me of that. But you like the meat in them and everything? But you don't like meat in your spaghetti. It's the exact same meat.

SPEAKER_00 13:43

No, it's just like spaghetti. Bro, you're exposing me over here. But spaghetti, it's like just like the texture. I can't do texture.

SPEAKER_04 13:53

It's a texture thing. Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 13:55

The textures do not go well together.

SPEAKER_04 13:57

So it's like the meat and the noodles you don't like?

SPEAKER_00 13:59

Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_04 13:59

But Alfredo you like. Like Alfredo sauce.

SPEAKER_00 14:02

Like the ch yeah. And then like chicken with Alfredo is fine. Yeah. The chicken is fine. Chicken's all-time favorite food. Oh, yeah. Chicken's good every way. Like.

SPEAKER_04 14:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:14

Grilled chicken depends. Cause I don't know. I this might be controversial, but Chick-fil-A's grilled chicken is disgusting.

SPEAKER_04 14:24

Um, yeah, and I've been seeing a lot more stuff on Chick-fil-A about all the freaking weird stuff in their sauces and their actual chicken. Like, let me chat GPT real quick.

SPEAKER_00 14:35

It makes me like my stomach hurt when I eat Chick-fil-A.

SPEAKER_04 14:38

How many ingredients are just in Chick-fil-A's chicken? And which one is the most harmful and why?

SPEAKER_00 14:46

We're not trying to expose you, Chick-fil-A, but like, okay, that is, but I'm not.

SPEAKER_04 14:52

I'll still eat the shit out of you. I'll eat, I'll eat ya.

SPEAKER_00 14:56

I've never had their chicken minis, but they look so good.

SPEAKER_04 14:59

Chick-fil-A's chicken, specifically their famous chicken sandwich, contains a few key ingredients. Chicken breast, the primary primary primary ingredient, typically marinated in a brine, breading, a season coated made from flour and various spices, peanut oil using for frying, potentially harmful ingredients, bread and breading and seasoning. The breading often contains refined flour, which may include additives like preservatives, sodium, and sugars. High sodium can be harmful.

SPEAKER_00 15:30

Feels like they're high.

SPEAKER_04 15:37

But yeah, just like all the sh stuff and food that is supposed to be good.

SPEAKER_00 15:41

Have you guys seen this thing on we might be able to pull up a video on this, but rubber it was fruit.

SPEAKER_02 15:47

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 15:48

Like I I saw like a comment on a YouTube video, but it was like it's because of like the low amount of something in the fr like the low um fiber or something.

SPEAKER_04 16:01

But like bananas bending and stuff.

SPEAKER_00 16:04

Yeah, like it was like it wasn't breaking, it was like bending.

SPEAKER_04 16:07

Yeah. I guess I can't fathom how big like a banana farm would be, but I have a hard time like imagining food getting dispersed all over the country just from farms. Like I don't know. I'm sure it does, but like think how many there's eight million people in the world. Like you're telling me we're growing enough food for everyone. We're growing enough bananas to have stacks of them in every restaurant or in every store in the world. I don't know, dog.

SPEAKER_00 16:32

Talk about those giants.

SPEAKER_04 16:34

What's that? Not the tea tartarians? Yeah. Well, I'm still gonna need to hear your food list, and then we'll get into the Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:39

So the two my two hot dogs, bro. If y'all think hot dogs are good, school hot dogs are good. If you went through our lunch line, saw what they're putting back in. Don't care.

SPEAKER_04 16:57

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 16:57

I'm about to be out of this lunch line in two grades, so that's a lot of grades. Like two years.

SPEAKER_04 17:05

I guess we haven't said the school, so yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:07

Well, I've never said the school. They they don't know who I am. I they I'm Billy Bob if they they like they don't know that.

SPEAKER_04 17:14

Okay, alright. Well, I just hope your lunch lady don't see this.

SPEAKER_00 17:18

Why would my lunch lady be watching podcasts that are called Shut Up and Listen?

SPEAKER_04 17:24

Um, there's no easy way of saying this, but I'm kind of a big deal. Everyone listens. I had six downloads yesterday, Jack.

SPEAKER_00 17:34

Okay, okay, geez.

SPEAKER_04 17:35

Six downloads. That's big time.

SPEAKER_00 17:38

Was it by your family? Be for real.

SPEAKER_04 17:40

Um, my family doesn't necessarily like me. So probably Sarah probably listened to it six times. Actually, I listened to it twice. So she listened to it four times. I did the math in my head on that.

SPEAKER_00 17:51

Mmm, good job.

SPEAKER_04 17:53

Thank you, thank you. I'm really expanding my brain.

I feel like I was like one of the only kids last year that couldn't shoot like three pointers. I made like a few, that's it. But they weren't like they were like practice, which I'm not shooting through three pointers in games, because first of all, I know how that's gonna end up. Second of all, I'm gonna get benched, and third of all, um I was not trying to make a fool out of myself.

SPEAKER_04 25:10

SPEAKER_04 26:13

I do like I like big butts in a kin la. And then I'd start like dancing to it. They'd be like, Jeff, you're a pinch player. Why are you playing a song on your own stereo? I'd be like, listen here, Paco. No, you guys all I never played sports. I played baseball. I never played any sports in school.

SPEAKER_00 26:29

I can't I'm so excited for baseball. Like you said, I'd gotten way better.

SPEAKER_04 26:36

Yeah, oh yeah, you're catching and throwing. It's always cool when kids get to that age to where you can finally play catch with them instead of just like throwing it and then having to go get it and then never being always bending over to Atlanta, would always throw it on the ground. Or my oldest son would always throw it on the ground, and I'd be like, throw it to my Oh man, boy, did I used to get on that boy for baseball. It was it was bad. So you get you get the more experienced dad. I just had a TikTok up the other day.
