Top Shelf Stories with J, chris and Tony.
Tony:Have you ever been falsely accused of something, something that made you took a good hard look in the mirror at yourself and really think could they be right? I don't know. I'm gonna tell you about my experience with papa john's and racism. What? There's a restaurant not far from my work. You may have heard of it. Can we call it? It's a real timeout.
Chris:You told me the name of this particular establishment and I don't know if restaurant's the right name.
Tony:It's definitely a restaurant. Okay, all right, carry on. So the fine dining restaurant called Papa John's.
Chris:Ooh Italian Sounds.
Tony:Italian. It's Italian, Although I think John is not technically Italian but he specializes in Italian cuisine.
Chris:Well, I just know, it's pizza, it's pizza, it's pizza. That's why I said Italian.
Tony:So out of all the kind of fast food style pizza, the not mom and pop the big chains, papa John's is my all-time fave.
Chris:You know, everyone gets some things wrong, that's fine.
Jay:I don't know why that is my worst.
Chris:Because he doesn't have a Jets in his head.
Tony:I don't know, man. I've had Jets several times. I've never had that Just because of you, chris, but, papa John's, there's something about the rubberiness of the crust that draws me in.
Chris:Is it the heartburn that you get that reminds you for days that you had Papa John's a day or two ago.
Tony:The seeing the box and immediately needing Pepsod. That's kind of my jam.
Jay:He likes the prepackaged melted butter with garlic chunks in it.
Tony:The three days of burping Papa John's. Yeah, it's my thing, right it's?
Chris:a particular burp. It doesn't even have to come out as a burp and you can still taste it. Dude, is there any Hold on Time out? Is there anywhere in the world? Because Papa John's gives you the pepperoncini. Is there anywhere to get pepperoncinis?
Tony:besides ordering a large papa john's two top actually. So we have a recipe we make at our house all the time, called mississippi pot roast, and, uh, you need six pepperoncinis to make it so we can? We can only have it after we've ordered papa John's six times. But yeah, there's something about them, man. I love them, and they're not the cheapest. They're not your Little Caesars.
Chris:They certainly used to be.
Tony:They're very pricey. I mean it's 20 bucks for a pretty basic pizza there.
Jay:I don't know. I think Domino's is probably the cheapest. You ever see that commercial about $19.99? No Little. Caesars is by far the cheapest.
Tony:Domino's is pretty cheap. They got a hot and ready $3 pizza.
Jay:You see, a feed your whole family for $20?
Chris:It's like $8 now for a hot and ready.
Jay:What yeah?
Chris:There you go See. They try to make it look like it's different by making half of it only cheese sticks, crazy bread or something but, it's just the pizza dough cut into strips on the one side.
Jay:Every fast food place, and I'm going to call it a fast food place. Tony is going up like crazy because of the fucking customers. I got a fucking large fry from McDonald's. It was almost $5 for a large fry from McDonald's.
Chris:Hold on Because of the customers.
Jay:I meant to say employees, the employees getting paid.
Tony:Yeah, but if you had the McDonald's app, it's any size fry for $1 one time a day.
Jay:That makes no sense at all. What, yeah? How come we didn't tell me this?
Chris:before we went to McDonald's. They're also free on Fridays. What yeah?
Tony:on Friday.
Chris:No purchase necessary. What, yeah, just necessarily.
Tony:Yeah, you can go through the drive-thru and get a large fry for zero money are you thinking this is the 90s?
Chris:I don't remember this ever you gotta get the app, bro, I don't I don't go to mcdonald's enough because, I have no idea.
Tony:I never heard of this so anyway, yeah, go ahead uh, so I work in a different city that I live and whenever we do something pizza-related at my work, I always go Papa John's they're my jam, I call them. I spend $60 on three pizzas.
Chris:They are everywhere too.
Tony:Have it delivered.
Chris:It's all good, right? Are you getting your slice of the pie rewards?
Tony:speaking of apps no, I actually don't have their app. What the hell dude Like every six pizzas free or something. Yeah, but I don't order shit online.
Chris:But I don't even think it has a scanner receipt, I bet.
Jay:How do you guys know all these fucking coupons? And because I'm cheap.
Tony:As the story goes on, you'll you'll know why I'm about to start using papa john's online. Okay, so we used to order all the time for the shop. You know you call the store some fucking, some dude that's high as hell answers the phone after like 17 rings yeah, 17 rings puts you on hold for 17 minutes thank you for calling poppy chance.
Chris:Can you hold yourself before you can even say no, picks back up I give them, uh, I give them the instructions.
Tony:I tell them where where my shop is. I tell them it's in the middle of. I tell them where where my shop is. I tell them it's in the middle of the building, coming through the front door is anybody the fuck.
Jay:What is a motherfucker order pineapple?
Tony:so maybe, like a year, year and a half ago, do I order pineapple. Yeah, crazy motherfucker dude, it's delicious, sweet and savory, are you fucking crazy?
Jay:it's the best. That's why that costs six dollars a piece.
Tony:You're getting real fruit so anyway, before I was rudely interrupted, I was talking about having this papa john's delivered to my warehouse. So about a year and a half ago I went to go call him and I didn't get the store, I got a fucking call center Nice.
Chris:Good work, gotta keep constant In India.
Tony:Yeah.
Jay:So All the voices sound the same.
Tony:So I'm on the phone with this lovely Indian lady trying to explain to her how to get to my shop, which she has no frame of reference.
Tony:You know where the light is next to the McDonald's. Yeah, you know it's like turn next to the goat. You know it's like turns into a whole big thing. Where I'm, where I'm fucking arguing with or not arguing, but giving her the instructions that never gets relayed to the store and uh, um, so the delivery driver can't find my place and I get my pizzas like an hour and a half later. They're all ice cold.
Chris:They went to the wrong place they're curling up like they've been on the stove for a week they go to the back of my warehouse all the time which delivered nobody.
Tony:nobody can hear them back there, so they sit back there and then they start calling and it's always a pain in the ass. I liked it a lot better when I could talk to the store.
Jay:I've never had that. It's so weird.
Tony:And call it me being fucking out of date, that I don't like to do shit on the line and shit like that.
Jay:I don't think many stores do that. I've never had that happen, ever. I mean, why did you order?
Tony:Domino's does it now too. So I swore off like a year and a half ago, papa John's.
Chris:All together, all together. I don't think we've had Papa John's here as family dinners ever.
Tony:No, like for two years.
Chris:We had it it once, and that was a time with the time, I thought I was gonna say that was it the reason, me?
Jay:what was the reason that you swore it off? Because you had diarrhea after for days?
Tony:no, because the ordering process has now become a burden to my life. Right now I gotta call, I gotta talk to somebody who doesn't speak english and doesn't know the neighborhood and try to try to decipher what they're trying to say to me. And then I gotta give them my credit card info and I'm gonna tell you, india's track record isn't very trustworthy when it comes to dishing off just fucking credit card numbers. Okay, and I'm not trying to have my work card numbers stolen and sold Every time.
Jay:I order Chinese food, that's what happens.
Tony:So maybe it's just me being ridiculous or whatever, but I swore off one of my favorite things in the world to eat for fast food and I honestly was sad about it.
Chris:But then you weren't going to go to anyone ever, because you always call.
Tony:But then hold on, you didn't get a call center. Right by my house, a subway went out of business.
Chris:They don't go Lies, lies yeah.
Jay:They just.
Chris:I'm calling lies Subway. They moved.
Jay:Subway. They moved somewhere better, no they didn't actually actually.
Tony:Neighborhood sucks, subway closed because it's not bougie enough for my area. Yeah.
Jay:The people in my area don't fuck with Subway, I agree. So they put a Papa John's there. Papa John's, Papa John's coming Bro.
Tony:Papa John's moved in and it's right next door to the only Asian food restaurant. I think it's a downgrade. So the kids said what is that place? And I said that's Papa John's. I said they make the best fast food pizzas on the planet, right? So my wife orders one, and she orders on the line like she does. She orders on the line, on the line.
Jay:On the line, I mean you can take away the part.
Chris:Through the internet. Thank you, Al Gore.
Jay:She does www.
Tony:So she calls to her computer and types in www.
Jay:What does that mean? What does that stand for, Tony?
Chris:Mechanical keyboard sound clicking in the background.
Jay:What does that stand for, Tony? Worldwide web oh.
Tony:Ding ding ding, ding. Oh, I still, you got a prize I only know that because when I go to google something, I don't abbreviate it. I type in worldwide web dot. You're fucking nuts, papa, johns dot com. Um, so my kids wanted to try it, right. So we get it one night and uh, dude, the kids love it.
Chris:They never tried it, never they never fucking cleaned their plate and they did the kids absolutely loved it. It's that garlic butter sauce cup dude they've enjoyed, they won't even try it. They don't even know what they're missing. They won't even dude, they won't even try it. They don't even know what they're missing. They won't even try it.
Jay:You should sneak it in their food, like that story you told me earlier so.
Chris:So Guess what I used garlic butter sauce underneath your cheese.
Tony:Just lift the pizza up, put it underneath the pizza on the cardboard and just let it soak in there, okay, so my wife my wife is going out to dinner with her friends last night, so it's boys night, right, and I'm like what you motherfuckers want to do for your motherfucker come here, motherfuckers.
Jay:What do you want?
Tony:and and then I got a four-year-old and an 11-year-old jumping up and down saying, in sync with each other Papa John's, papa John's, papa John's.
Chris:That's too much.
Tony:And my face goes pale, my hands go numb. I'm like, fuck, what do I do? Because I made a pact to myself that I'm not fucking talking to India to get a goddamn pizza. I'm not doing it and your wife's not there.
Jay:And.
Tony:I'm not doing on the line.
Jay:And my wife's gone.
Chris:You could have called her and she could have ordered on the line from her restaurant.
Tony:Well, I should have thought of that.
Chris:Hey, honey can you go on the line I was?
Tony:trying to prove to her that I was an adult and then I didn't need to call her dumbest fucking things in the world.
Tony:Plus, you had already called her to help find, like your basketball or basketball shoes that you don't know where they are you know there's nothing worse than her being out with a bunch of other adult friends of hers and having a husband call say, uh, me and the boys want a pizza. Would you mind placing that order? Because she can't do it. She can't. She can't do that in front of her friends, she can't be like. Oh, my husband called and demanded I order him and him and the kids a pizza. Like I'm gonna get a big fuck you and I'm gonna get treated like shit for a week.
Chris:You're gonna have to sleep in the same room with her for a week.
Jay:No, she'd never get that mad. Just step outside and order.
Tony:It'll take you five seconds so so I decided and this is the fucking craziest thing about me, because, like I don't really go through drive-thrus, I usually go in and order Like I'm that kind of person, don't look for a drive-thru.
Jay:You go in and order a pizza.
Chris:It's going to take an hour.
Tony:I fucking drove to Papa John's with my 4-year-old, I left the 11-year-old at home and I went inside and ordered a pizza.
Chris:Okay, they and I went inside and ordered a pizza.
Tony:Okay, they probably didn't even know what to do with themselves. They're like looking for an order pad.
Chris:They didn't know what to do the guy's like?
Tony:well, say what you want and I'll see if it comes up on that screen that tells us what pizzas to make you know he's like.
Chris:Can I call the lady from India real quick? I'll put us on speaker.
Tony:So this kid who comes up to the registers like maybe 16 years old, I don't know. He looks like he could be 11, I don't know and he comes up to the register, he takes my order and while I'm ordering it, the manager is making it. So it's in the oven before the kid even hits total. The guy's listening to what toppings I'm ordering he's just making it right.
Tony:So I pay for my pizza and I say to the kid I'm like, hey, if I want to order a pizza over the phone, can I talk directly to the store, or do I have to talk to india, did you? Say it just like that I said it just like that and the kid goes I don't know. I've never had somebody call the store and place an order. I don't know how that works. Let me go get my manager fascinating dude.
Chris:That is fascinating I can't believe that so this man where have we come in this world? The kid doesn't know how to answer the phone and write down. He has no idea. He doesn't know how to write down lg pep ex he's a 16 year old kid bro.
Tony:He'd be like it'd be better if I just gave you my phone number and you texted it to me.
Chris:He's like yeah, you want to order pizza? Yeah, yeah, here, text me so so he pulled. I'm at papa john's man on twitter hit me on messenger papa underscore John's one, two, three man.
Tony:You're going to have to Venmo me the money you know.
Chris:Oh shit, dude, no fucking way.
Tony:So he calls for the manager. Manager comes out. Now let me set the scene on the manager, okay, he's already got your pies in the oven, though he's ready to work.
Chris:He's working, he knows.
Tony:He sounds older. Got your pies in the oven, though. He's ready to work. He's working he knows he sounds older pies in the oven, the guy, the guy comes out from him back. Uh, I'm gonna set the stage for the student, possibly as old as 22 years old. Okay, on top of his shit. Caucasian male 115 pounds tops.
Chris:Very thin.
Tony:Oh, very thin, Gross Ponytail. American flag headband holding that ponytail back. Solid, super blackggly mustache, no beard, button down Papa John's shirt.
Chris:Full of white powder.
Tony:Full of it from that to toe. How do you wash that?
Chris:shit.
Tony:Their washing machines must turn out pizza dough like crazy and uh and sweat pants, okay, so you got a pretty good image of what this dude looks like in your head, right?
Chris:yeah, yeah, sort of sort of I think I bought mushrooms from him at a music festival for sure, for sure he looks like the alternate for workaholics.
Tony:So, uh, he comes out and he goes the. The guy who went and got him said hey, this guy has a question for you. Couldn't even relay it. So the manager goes what can I help you with? And I said I was just wondering, am I able to talk directly to the store or do I have to talk to India to order a pizza through you? He gave you his cell phone number and the guy with straight face he just starts nodding his head. He goes hmm, yeah, yeah, no. So the thing is is he's like you're actually going to want to order through India? He's like, because the thing with India is they have all the coupons and promotions for all the locations. So when you call in and you tell them the area, they have all the regional coupons for you. He's like we don't know what they are in the store.
Chris:Oh man.
Tony:So if you order through us, you're gonna pay full price just like you did just today, if you order through india, he's like you're gonna, you're gonna save some money.
Tony:And I said okay, and then this is where shit got weird, wow. So then he slows it down and he looks, looks at me, dead in my eyes, and he goes yeah, you know, the India thing actually works out really good. It comes right to the store, we get it, we get it going quick. And uh, he is like but I understand, a lot of the older generation is really racist against people from India and he goes you know, if you have the capability of using a smartphone, uh, it would be just as easy for you to order online and then you wouldn't have to give you know india your credit card number, because everybody in india steals credit cards. This is all sarcasm yeah dude.
Tony:No, he went on like a three minute rant calling me racist to my face because I didn't want to give my credit card over the fall highlighting how they steal the credit cards or that was your racist point of view that, no, he, he just kept going on and on about how the most racist thing people of my generation can do is be racist against people from india wow dude that's it's a I think it's like the kids racist from customer service.
Chris:a good old-fashioned handshake and a smile with this, are you?
Tony:kidding me. So here's the deal. After he gets done calling me racist, he was like is that all you needed, sir? And I said yeah, I said I think I think you pretty well answered my question and uh, the kid, the kid who was helping me hands me my pizza and I'm like what the fuck?
Tony:as after the racial comment yeah, so he hands me my pizza he's done in three minutes and I go how is my pizza done already? He's like, well, I had it made before you paid. And he goes and I put it into the conveyor and the conveyor takes four minutes to cook the pizza. And I said, well then I'm just coming in and ordering the fucking pizza every time. You can give me a lecture on racism while it cooks and you can hand it to me. I'm like I'm fucking not doing any of this. And then, of course, the dude goes outside. While I'm going outside with my pizza to go home, I get in my truck and now I'm facing the store looking at him and he's outside and he's smoking with one hand and vaping with the other hand.
Chris:It's probably because he was vaping weed. I want to know. Smoking nicotine. He must have been or smoking weed and vaping nicotine. I guess it could go either way.
Tony:I thought it was really bizarre to watch him with a cigarette and a vape in one hand and taking alternate puffs off you think his media-filled, hate-driven brain was so worked up that he needed to feed nicotine into himself with two different sources.
Chris:I don't know how could people be. I mean, he's a young kid. You said he's what? Like probably 20-something.
Tony:Early early 20s man.
Chris:That person should have been happy at an opportunity to talk to someone. For Christ's sake.
Jay:All I want to know is what they put in that dough that it cooks in four minutes. I think it's the oven, bro. I think there's like plastic parts in there that expand and explode for sure and heat up inside.
Tony:Yeah, it's like when subway got busted for using yoga mat.
Chris:Well, you said it was an old subway location maybe it's just leftover six foot bread's already made, bro. No, I mean speaking of subway. They've, they've cooked up. They used to cook up pizzas in that like microwave oven yeah, but oven.
Tony:But the difference is papa john's actually starts with, I don't believe, four minutes.
Chris:Was it cooked fully? Yeah, it couldn't have been four minutes and perfect it wasn't four minutes then because you, you you said he put it in. While you were ordering it, the kid had to work the register. He's not used to working because he doesn't, and then he had like you probably paid with cash too, you fucking we got another old in here.
Tony:Hey, you got any change in your truck, because we got an oldie in here, he's like I'm gonna have to Venmo you your change.
Jay:Yeah, they can't change money, that's wild dude.
Tony:So I did what anybody would do in my situation. I got back in my car and on the ride, the three-minute ride home, you called corporate.
Chris:I called my mom. Oh, I thought you called corporate.
Tony:I'm like hey, ma, do you think I'm a racist corporate? I'm like, hey, ma, do you think I'm a racist? And and I explained it to my mom and she's like well, I ain't trying to give my credit card to india either. Like that's fucking crazy. Like who would give their credit card number to somebody overseas?
Chris:I'm not afraid to give anyone my credit card number, because the bank will just give you your money back. If something happens, I'm pretty good with it. Yeah, but it's a pain in the fucking ass especially if it's locked in with payments. No, especially yeah when you have everything paying through shit. Yeah, that's, that's the worst that's why so?
Tony:help me understand, because I looked in the mirror for almost an hour at myself that you let this.
Jay:That's the least amount of time am I?
Tony:am I some kind of? Am I some?
Chris:kind of boomer racist no, dude, you just let some fucking snowflake get in your head, dude he's totally in my head to the fact that now I feel obligated to go down there again to prove to him that I can in fact order over the phone. You just want to order a bunch of them online for pickup though, so you can go in there and be like hey, Steve, Thanks for the advice I got $2.50 off my pizza, steve, you think somebody 22 years old, is named Steve Braden. It's Caleb.
Jay:It's something weird yeah.
Chris:The names man. That's another thing.
Jay:Walk in there with a black face in order of pizza and then see what he says Just put some black makeup on, make yourself look black.
Tony:And say do you think this is racist? Yeah, exactly, I'm guessing the answer would be yeah.
Chris:My question would be do you think this call center orders for more than just Papa John's?
Tony:Well, I know Domino's does it too, of course, because now I cut Domino's off. Do you think so when?
Chris:you call, do they just know like? Based off like the caller's requested phone number. There's a color button for each restaurant.
Jay:Yeah, there's a color button for each restaurant.
Chris:Papa John's is orange, so do you think they might accidentally answer and be like hi, this is cheap, there's 17,000 callers in front of them. Yep, fucking America must be great.
Jay:Look at all these different restaurants. Hey Arab, can you go get the?
Chris:Dude, I don't know about that, but do you think that they answer the call and accidentally give the wrong restaurant ever Sure? Or do you think it's like, hey, susie. I don't know, man hey your name's Susie today and you're working for Papa John's? Yeah, I don't know. Thank you for calling Papa John's. My name is Susie.
Jay:But I've noticed. How can I? I help you.
Tony:I've noticed that for you people at home. Chris looked at an imaginary name tag on his shirt when he came up with his name that's pretty slick.
Jay:Do you notice that their name? Uh, the voices always sound the same with the women from india. Yeah, notice that. Why does it? Sound the same with the women from India? Yeah, you notice that. Why does it sound exactly like you've talked to this person before? Like I've talked to you before, haven't I? On Spectrum.
Tony:No, that is racist. Yeah, don't you think that too?
Jay:But it does sound the same, don't you think to?
Chris:an Indian woman who lives in India that all American males who call sound the same. I guess we kind of have some different dialect with the southern draws.
Jay:I mean, I think Australian is going to sound different than American. But I guess, yeah, you could say yeah.
Chris:She answers and she's like, oh, it's another undereducated male From scholarship. These guys are so stupid. I don't know I just I mean I, people who know more than one language, is fascinating to me. I don't know why I don't know another language, that's why they have the job I wish I did know another language, because here you can survive with only one language. I think most places you can.
Jay:It's tough. They teach it in school, throughout school.
Chris:Predominantly. It seems a lot of people learn English. Yes, Like worldwide.
Jay:Yeah, they teach it in school. They teach English as the main. It's like math. I don't think it's going to be like that.
Chris:I don't think it's going to be like that for long if 23-year-old managers from Papa John's can't handle an interaction with somebody from the suburbs like bro, we go everywhere, americans go everywhere and he's probably, he's probably telling the story right now on his podcast going.
Tony:So this fucking racist boomer comes in right, yeah, and he starts throwing an irate fit about india and I thought he was gonna rob the place, you know.
Jay:Like he was fucking terrified I thought you looked like an undercover cop, tony, so you're not a robber I love online ordering.
Chris:I order everything on my phone. It keeps track of points, they give you rewards, all these other things. It's super easy. But what I've noticed is my favorite pizza place. They want you to text message your order in. I can get the best deal if I just text message the pizza place, jets, that I want a pizza and I'm supposed to type out what I want, or do they ask questions back in an automated fashion? I've not tried it so I'm boomered on that. I don't know if I can do it.
Tony:There's only one place that I'm willing to order online at, and that's just. It's just a time thing. What is it? Because when I want it and I want to go get it, if I go inside and order it, I have to wait 20 minutes plus. Well, what is itave's hot chicken? Yeah, what the fuck? Yeah, you want to order that ahead for sure is that in west alice oh, there's one in the parking lot of this building oh, there is yeah, I didn't know there was one this close, yeah, where teriyaki madness was oh shit, I've been eating there at least once a week.
Chris:Sometimes they make these fire chicken breasts or chicken oh wait, a second and chicken tenders is that the fucking place next to kidoba?
Jay:it's like a nine dollar chicken tender I was staring at so good I was staring at that, at the light, waiting to take a left, and I was like this is weird, that that's right in the same building it doesn't even make sense how fucking good it is yeah really what is?
Chris:it is so fucking the only one I knew about was the one down.
Tony:There's one on the east side and one in the nominee fall. So what?
Jay:do they primarily serve? Uh, chicken tenders and chicken sliders is this what I heard on the radio not too long ago that I don't know, I don't listen to the radio. This is coming from a different state, Western states.
Chris:He only listens to this unnamed unsonged podcast.
Tony:It's the fastest growing restaurant in the world. I think that's what I heard.
Chris:Really, yeah, wow, interesting. How much is a franchise? I don't know. You can buy it, if you can buy it with the old drug.
Jay:I can buy with. You can buy. If you can buy with the old junkie, I'll buy let's go with you, chris.
Tony:You know who owns it dave from wendy's.
Chris:No dave, what is his god? John, from papa john samuel l jackson no shit and drake wow, what really I'm shocked how expensive it is, though but it's so, it's, but it's so good it's not. It's cheaper than McDonald's.
Tony:Dude, you get two chicken tenders and fries is like $23. So what I get is just the chicken slider, which is a full sandwich. It's a full chicken breast on a bun with coleslaw.
Chris:Well, it's a chicken tender, but yeah.
Jay:Is the chicken ground up like McNuggets and shit, or is it a nice crisp chicken? You want this shit, dude, you've never had it.
Chris:You want this shit, dude. Their breading's like full corn flakes on the son of a bitch breading. It's so good.
Tony:So their meals don't come with a soda, they don't come with anything to drink.
Chris:But the chicken sandwich and fries meal is 9.99, which is less than what a big mac meal is yeah, I suppose it's much better too, but, like you said, it takes a long time because you're ordering it online.
