Speaker 1 (00:00):
So I have to take mine my mind all my
workout because it allows me to.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Oh you're rolling your eyes already, I'm not even into
my story. So my trainer and I, Michael Petru, talked
about everything but what we're doing most of the time
to distract me. And so I said, you know, I
think it's a shame that Dairy Queen doesn't get its due.
The two fast food restaurants that do not get their due,
(00:32):
Dairy Queen and Sonic. Dairy Queen and Sonic have a broader,
more extensive, more impressive menu than water Bird or Nobody
even talks about berg here McDonald's anymore, like do they?
Does anybody ever go I can't, I'd like to go
eat at McDonald's. Does anybody say that it's all the
(00:53):
newer stuff?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Right?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
But I don't want to focus on Sonic right now.
Although if you go to a Sonic and pull in
their menu is so impressive, ramon, do you think it
helps Sonic or hurts Sonic that they're not a sit
down traditional restaurant like the rest of the places. Because
if if you wanted to go, which I never do
(01:16):
because it's it's mostly thugs sitting inside fast food restaurants.
I don't I don't like to be around them. I'm
a fat I'm a drive through kind of god. But
what if you want to go and sit down inside
the restaurant. Signic doesn't give you that option. So I
wonder if that hurts them in the grand scheme of things,
or if it if it helps. Ramo says to this day,
(01:38):
I cannot tell you everything that's on Sonic's menu. No
you can't. You got it's so big. There's cherry lime,
there's all the lime made products. There's all the slushy
based products, which I don't think anybody else even even
enters that field. You've got Sonic ice. Not to be underestimated.
Sonic Ice is like they they what McDonald's did for
(02:01):
French fries, and they did give them their due. Sonic
did for ice. I mean, it's it's real. So you
got the slushy based products, You've got the Sonic ice,
You've got the tater tots and all the tater tot
type pro products. You know, the chili cheese and all that.
You've got a solid hot dog. It ain't James Coney Island,
but it's solid. It'll do right, I'm just saying, if
(02:24):
you've got a broad range of interest at that moment,
you know, you got a bunch of people in your car,
you can everybody can do something with that.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
They're burgers are nothing to write home about. But they're
not bad. They're they're solid. I don't remember if their
fries are any good. They're onion rings. They overcook to
a crisp. They're the little bitty ones. So anyway, but
this is not a conversation about sonic what corn dogs.
The corn dogs are good. Corn dogs are good, good point,
good point. You know, corn dogs the kind of thing
(02:54):
you don't ever think you want until you get one.
You're on the Michael Berry show, man, I would like
to know what he's paying for a trainer that he
sits there and talks.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
About fast food. I mean, I'm in the gym every
day and last thing we talked about is fast food?
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
But here's the problem. I can't go eat the fast food,
so I have to talk about it.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
Oh, okay, I got a fair enough.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Have you ever known anybody that that's a recovered alcoholic,
You would think that the last thing they would want
to talk about is being an alcoholic. It's all they
want to talk about. And let me tell you something.
If you talk to a recovered alcoholic and you say
to him, boy, let me tell you something. I got
so tore up a couple of weeks ago. I don't
(03:41):
think anybody's ever been that.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Oh my god, I was that tore up at eight
o'clock in the morning and went on all day.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
They love to tell you how bad they used to be.
They revel in it. Right, Well, that's what I am.
In a fast foot, I'm a recovera what's your name?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Fair enough? A joke?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
All right? Well wait there, Joe, I'm not done. So
we got talked about Dairy Queen and I said, well,
I want you to not think about what I'm going
to ask you. I want you to say the first
thing that comes out of your mind when I say
one item dessert or main at Dairy Queen that you
would order right now?
Speaker 6 (04:20):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Blizzard? Blizzard? Blizzards didn't come around till like twenty five
years ago. Do you remember when blizzards first came around?
They turn them upside down? Oh that was now. I
feel like we're to the point, like yeah, yeah, you'll
have air conditioning in there and running water, and you
can turn the blizzard upside down. There should have come
a point where they some bean counter comes in and says, guys,
(04:45):
we're actually slowing the line down by two point two
seconds every time we do that, and over the course
of our stores, over the course of a year, it's
cost us one point two million dollars. Right. There's a
famous story of Tillman for Tita going into one of
his restaurants and I don't know if he'd ever visited
that restaurant before. It was you know, in Saint Louis
(05:06):
or Phoenix or somewhere that you know is not on
his usual route. And the story goes, and I have
this from a friend of the manager, from another executive
in the company who was friends with the manager who
was on duty, and it was like when mister Cathy
at Chick fil A, when they make a sight visit,
they don't warn you. So he comes rolling in and
(05:28):
he goes into the kitchen and he spies a waiter
walk into the kitchen and drop a plate in the
trash because it's easier than scraping the food off and
putting the plate and the spoons in the trash, so
he sat over in the corner. A few minutes later,
the waiter did it again, so he pulled the manager,
(05:49):
the waiter, and the kitchen manager into the kitchen. CEO
of the company five hundred and fifty units. He turned
the trash upside down, and he didn't tell them to
do it. But when he starts doing it, they know
they're supposed to. He starts picking through and pulling out
the forks, the knives, the plates, the valuables. Right in
the course of a night. That's probably a couple hundred
(06:11):
bucks worth of you start running the numbers, it's probably
fifty thousand dollars worth of product that you're just throwing away. Forks.
You're supposed to wash those and put them back, but
if you're the waiter, you don't care. Well, that story
became legend throughout the company. Maybe it didn't even happen.
It doesn't matter because at this point every manager knows
if tilman ever comes in. So anyway, what I thought
(06:32):
we'd do for one segment and one segment only, is
you get one item on the menu, one item on
the Dairy Queen menu that you can order. I think
good question. I think probably the steak fingers. Their steak
fingers are the quality of their gravy. Look, I'm not
(06:53):
saying it's going to hold up to a five star restaurant,
but you got to remember, Dairy Queen is for road trips, right,
Dairy Queen is not a day thing. It's not a week.
Dairy Queen is for road trips. And my wife, who
never eats fast food, when we get in the truck
to start to start driving, she's already ready for dairy Queen.
And my kids are that that is that is that
(07:13):
is a cherished memory in our household. So we will
do one segment. You get one item at the Dairy Queen,
one and one only make it quick. It'll be a
lightning round. Well, you bet you wish you on the
dairy Queenna. You're gonna sell some product today. And so
I just put that on the Michael Ferris So Michael
(07:36):
Barry Show. Several callers made an interesting point that I
had not thought about. Do you know why Sonic is
not a road trip stop? No bathroom? No bathroom? I
had never considered that that's a I mean, they might
(07:58):
have an outdoor bathroom, but who wants that, you know
what nobody wants to talk about a lot of Indians
own convenience stores. Dot A lot of Indians own convenience stores.
And in India, bathroom sanitation is not valued the way
(08:22):
it is here. So that's why when you go to
I'll tell you there's one. Oh my goodness, we've had
to get back to food talk because this will make
you lose it if you're on it headed out of
town outside of Katie, a little further out. I don't
know exactly what that community it might be, Sam Philippi,
I don't know. It's right about that area, you know
(08:42):
I'm talking about. It's on the right. There's a shell station.
It's the only thing for about five seven eight miles.
It's right there on the right. It's on a big
track to land. When you go in, then you have
to kind of go around the overpass to get back
on it. It's an Indian family, nice as they can be.
They always give me or my wife a little extra nod,
but oh acknowledgement you're Indian. We're Indian, you know, and
(09:04):
they can tell my wife came from India instead of
you know, being from here, because if you're from here,
you carry yourself differently, you know, and she'll speak to
them in Hindi. And it's the family that works there
and staffs it. And we stop there out of a
you know, pure emotional connection. But we do not go
to the bathroom there. The bathroom is vile. It's it's
(09:25):
probably the worst bathroom in the history of bathrooms. It
is just nasty. It is dank, it is awful. Yeah,
I think you get the point. Anyway, you get one
item at Dairy Queen, one item and one item only.
I don't care if it's on the dessert menu, if
it's a drink, if it's it's the one item that
you think that you like the most of what they do. Okay.
(09:49):
Bert Harvey says these d Q tacos are underrated. Agreed, Agreed.
You know who else is on the tacos are underrated?
Jack in the Box, Jack, I mean, are they horse meat? Yes,
they're not horse meat. Don't sue me. They're not horse meat.
They're delicious meat. And I love Jack in the Box
those tacos. And you know they do those little taco
(10:09):
poppers that should be illegal. They're like thirty five cents,
but you got to eat fifteen of them, and you
just crush crush them.
Speaker 7 (10:21):
All right.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
We got a lightning round. One item, one item. You
weren't ready for Lightning round. Oh my goodness, Okay, here
we go. One item, one item.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
Let's play a lightning round game by night.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Be ready. You're on stage. When I go to you,
I'll say your name and you be ready. Eric and
Spring Branch.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Go Chili, Cheese Frize.
Speaker 2 (10:48):

the gate, Zach go.
Speaker 9 (10:55):

Speaker 9 (11:01):

extra onions, mustard and onion rings.
Speaker 5 (11:14):

Speaker 9 (11:19):
Hey, And I was helping camp Opo over there with
gallery this week.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Oh you're the one who cleans the parking lot at gallery.
I knew I remembered your voice. I just couldn't remember why.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
You know what I love about the belt buster? They
call it a belt buster. Think about that. You've said
it so many times that you forgot what it stands for.
Like you say breakfast so many times that you forget
that is breaking your fast.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You fasted through the night. Right. They call it a
belt buster. Hey, here's this burger so big you're gonna
get fat. Yeah, give me that thing, give me the
one that'll make me fat. That's awesome. I need to
give you. John go uh dip com You know what's
(12:04):
so funny? Petru said? That was his answer was dip cone.
He said, of all the great ice creams that have
come out since then, think about this that that dip
that dip cone in its day that was you can
ask them to double dip it, and what they'll double
dip it? Does it costs extremes? Who cares at this point?
(12:27):
Huh yeah? If it's ten cents more? You know. I
remember when I was a kid, it was like ten cents.
You get your cone, you get your your ice cream,
but to dip it was an extra ten cents. How
about that? What you think about that? Wanda? You're up.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
Chicken and dumplings.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
See that's something if you Ramona, you ever tried their
chicken and dumplings. I don't trust that. I stay. Those
don't seem to me? Are they good?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (12:54):
Yeah, we have them over here in Tyler.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
You and Tiler. H well, not right now now, but I.
Speaker 9 (13:03):
Live in Tyler.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
My people are off from my mama's people are off
from Tyler. Uh huh. I love that area. It's so
green and yes, it is so beautifully, wonderfully verdant. I
love that. And you got that lake? Are you on
the lake?
Speaker 9 (13:21):
Uh? No?
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Not really?
Speaker 8 (13:23):
Live out by the airport in a tiny house.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
We ain't nothing wrong with that? Do we appreciate the
consistency of the shape of the ice cream on the cone?
You ever tried to spensing ice cream on a cone yourself?
That's a good point. That's a moment of silence for
how well they dispense the ice cream so consistently. Yes, Gerald,
you're up. Butterscotch shake, butterscotch shake.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Yeah, my mind is blown.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
You ever had the butterscotch shape?
Speaker 8 (13:58):
Huh?
Speaker 4 (13:59):
If you haven't had one, you gotta get one.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
How long have they had done?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
That's been on the menu for forty years? Long as
I know.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Wow, where's your dairy queen?
Speaker 9 (14:13):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Well, I used to travel the road quite a bit,
so I've had them in just about every town, say
to Texas, for sure.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I love it.
Speaker 9 (14:21):
So what's you think about that?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
So there's a dairy queen over it, I think they
just closed it, like West Timer and the Beltway. I'm
not going there ever, because dairy queen is not something
I go to like a regular, like a water Bird
dairy queen for me, as I'm out in some town
off the main highway on the business route and there's
(14:42):
a dairy queen and I don't like the new ones.
If I can help it, I won't go to the
new ones. I love that old style red and white,
low slung building, the melomine over the laminate, over the
particle board, those L shaped seat you go in. It's
not the most deficient layout, but that's what you go
up there and stand. It's that same floor all the time.
(15:05):
You got the same desultry employees that don't want to
be there. They're also you know, they're always fixing the
ice cream machine and then they're they're doing the drive through.
It has to be situated on the lot exactly right. Well,
you get the point. Thomas go, yes, sir, ask for it.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Not on the menu.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Deep fried chili cheese burrios?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
What deep fried chili cheese burritos?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yeah, deep fried Britos covered in chili and cheese.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I had no idea this was an option. See, there's
so much you don't ramon. You don't know what you
don't know. Alan go.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Cookie dough blizzard.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
That's not my thing. I'm trying to remember if it
was Crockett or Michael that likes them. Crockett wants uh
gummy bears in his blizzard. I just I don't get that.
Arnold got Q dude, been ordering it for thirty five
years with the doctor pepper and onion rings, no reason
to change. They would have a special it was like
(16:11):
forty nine cents or nine nine, I can't remember what
it was, and we'd drive into town. There's a dairy
Quinn on the edge of town, and my mom would
take me and my brother and we'd go get a
peanut buster parfect I was good living. My brother died
from a peanut.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Old When Michael Berry's show, VIQ French Fries would taco.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Meat and cheese. This liquid nacho cheese. Problem with liquid
nacho cheese is all too often I don't think it's
actually cheese, and there's actually some fake cheeses that are okay,
But sometimes you can get off into some concession stand cheese.
(16:53):
That's that's really not good.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
You know what? I love ramon. Since we're on the
subject of cheeses. Uh, puffy tacos, A puffy taco with
a thin smear of cheese on the top, you know
I'm talking about, or just a like a tostada with
just a thin smear of cheese on the top, not
(17:17):
a bunch, just per And then you bite into that
first one, it crumbles and you get it all over
and you got to go chasing it down. But it's
well worth it. Seven one three, two one two five
eight seven four. I get a call from Eddie Martinez
during the break. He says, you know, you're the smartest guy.
I know, two law degrees, well traveled, well read. You
think about things, your reasoning skills are great. So how
(17:38):
do you decide to talk about dairy queen this morning?
And I've learned that with Eddie if you just let
him keep talking, he'll talk himself through it. And he goes,
I mean, I can't turn it off, But how do
you decide? I said, well, I needed a moment and
it just came. This came to me. We might get
to sonic in a minute lightning round.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
Let's play a round game.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Bite. You know what I loved about Dame's He didn't
just tell you he was having a belt buster. He
took extra cheese, double mayonnaise, little bit of mustard, chili
cheese with the cheese on the stuff. I mean, he
had the whole thing. Did you You know that guy
(18:23):
cleans parking lots for a living, right, he probably gets
thirty forty bucks at the end of the day, right
out in the heat all day. He ain't a young man.
A guy like that doesn't have money to go to
a fancy restaurant. He's not going to Federal American Grill
for a steak tonight in a nice bottle of wine.
A guy like that is hungry. He is. You call
(18:46):
it a belt buster. He don't give a damn. He's
not going well, I'm trying to watch my weight. No
a belt but yeah, you better believe I want a
belt buster. I want to have to unbutton my breeches
when I'm through eating it if you want to. If
you want to see he's something gratifying. Watch a guy
that's working outside, like on a construction site, watch him
(19:06):
pull his lunch pail out and open it up, especially
if his wife loves him. And he's pulling stuff out
and he's looking like, oh, she put a ding dong
in here, she put a hostess ding dong in here,
and I had enough. Oh I love that woman. And
then he's pulling little things out and got his coffee
and he's he's, you know, eating all that for that guy,
(19:27):
that food right then, I mean it's going straight into
his veins. It is comfort. There is nobody eating at
Tony's tonight that is going to enjoy their food as
much as that guy does at Dairy Queen or out
of the lunch pail. It's so true. Sandy, you're up.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Go Michael, Yeah, go Michael.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
I'm sorry, Michael. Yeah, somebody already said it that I
like that ice cream. You cannot find vanilla swirled ice
cream on a count anywhere else. You name it and
I'll go try it.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
All right. I feel like Sandy was monopolizing the time.
Don go ahead, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
That would be the DQ dude. In fact, in nineteen
seventy three, seventy four, when they first came out, I
was working at Dairy Queen and we actually handmade the dude.
There was none of this frozen package craft that came
to you. We handmade them.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Ramon says he doesn't know what a dude is. It's
a chicken fry steak. Isn't it chick fry stake sandwich?
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Isn't it chicken fries stake sandwich?
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Yes it is.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yeah, it's a chicken fries So it's not your regular chicken.
You know, Dairy Queen's buns are not the best buns,
but they're distinctive. Right, They're kind of a softer you
know what I'm talking about. They're a little softer. They're
they're not dowe, They're a little softer. Yeah, the dude,
(21:00):
dude is a chicken fry steak. Did he say they
used to make it? They used to hand make them,
because I'm sure they come frozen down and they throw
them in the fryer. But back in the day, Thomas,
you're up. Go.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Yeah, I got to go with the dude too.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
I think they're great that on the on the butterscot
you got to go with the malt, not to shake.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
You know, this could be a whole different day, but
Dairy Queen is the only place that I go shake
instead of malt. I always go malt over shake because
I like the malt flavoring. But Dairy Queen shakes. Their
malt is a little too thick and the shake is
a little milkier. And that's the only place that I
would do that. But Nita, go the dude man.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
Somebody's stole my thunder and I'm with Eddie Martini, which
is what?
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Which is?
Speaker 7 (21:47):
He stuck a nerve?
Speaker 6 (21:48):
I was kind of missed.
Speaker 9 (21:50):
I thought, what talking about?
Speaker 5 (21:52):
But he stuck a nerve.
Speaker 10 (21:52):
It's a Texas experience and I just had to call
in it real.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
When I found out that Dairy Queen was a Minnesota
corp ration and not a Texas one, I about lost
my mind. I said, but that's okay because Nolan Ryan
is their spokesman, and so that's Texas enough for me. John,
go ahead, butterscotch dilly bar. I didn't know such a
thing existing. I did not know such a thing existed. Brian, go.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
That peanut, bust your far faith. Get him to put
some of that caramel in there.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Hot carble web. Let me tell you something that hot
caramel back in the day that was you know, you
think about all this stuff we got chocolate fountains now
and people have them in their house. We didn't have
all that back then. That was it. You went up
there and slid that that thing open and it never
stayed on its track, and you got you something at
(22:48):
Dilly Bar or something out there. You mama, can I
have one of these? You were happy with the Michael
Barry Show.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
News.
Speaker 10 (23:00):
Afghanistan America is moving out, and now you know that
means the Taliban is going to have a bogo saying.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
By one get one free.
Speaker 10 (23:09):
That means you can save money on Humphi's assault rifles,
black Hawk helicopters, night vision goggles, tactical equipment and more.
You want it, we got it by one get one
free on grenade launches, rockets, imris and of course combat boots.
You can curb stop the infidels in style with the
high quality level boots from the Pentagon. Everything must go hungry.
(23:31):
We got plenty of recently abandoned service dogs. Don't blame us,
blame John Biden. So what are you waiting for? It's
the Taliban USA Military Afghanistan Bogo sale. Sh honey, Why
supplies last?
Speaker 7 (23:50):
All?
Speaker 10 (23:50):
Right?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I have politely suggested to dairy queen. Let's see if
they're marketing girl. All these major companies have some twenty
two year old straight out of college that they put
on the Twitter feed so she can talk, you know,
young folk talk. I have suggested politely to them that
if they have any sense, they will authorize me to
(24:14):
announce that the first hundred people at every dairy queen,
at any dairy queen in the state of Texas today
gets a free cone or anything in the sea through
ice box. One item. So that'd be your dlly bars,
that'd be your none of the you know, you can't
do you know what nobody said, And I'm glad because
(24:35):
I hate them. It's Sunday's. I've never understood the point
of a Sunday. I love bananas, but I don't want
bananas in my ice cream. I put Bana's in my
Cereal banana split. Yeah, yeah, bana split. Yeah. They're often

Speaker 4 (25:50):
Fosted coke? Is Coca cola and ice cream that's blended
like a shake. Best thing in the world.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I had no idea.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Get you one, Michael.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
That goes on the list for today's show. Notes this
frosted coat have mercy lost. That's better than a root
beer float. I bet you know. Jason Collier, who was
our chef at the RCC for a while, came up
with this concoction just messing around. We had a soft
(26:23):
serve ice cream that we gave away free because Russell
does it at Gringoes. I thought, why not do it?
People loved it. But he started tinkering around and he
put shiner bock. He made it like a root beer float.
I know it sounds disgusting. Put shiner bock over that
soft serve ice cream. Change your life. Cutter got chocolate
(26:51):
Dilly bar mint. That's well, the mint makes it too new.
But in the old days of Dalli Bar, they didn't
have the offerings they had back then. Y'all don't know, Mary,
go ahead, don't.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Laugh at me.
Speaker 8 (27:05):
But a crispy chicken garden salad with Honeymoser's dressing and
saltine crackers on the side, it is to die for.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
I'm gonna go ahead and say no, Jeff, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Steak finger basket. Yes, cream gravy is absolutely incredible.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Okay, But I have a question for you, and this
is very important. The cream gravy is for the steak
fingers only or also for the fries, because I do
my I do the ketchup for my fries. But I
see some people do their cream gravy. They use the
cream gravy for the their fries. Also, what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I go both ways. I'll alternate. I don't discriminate when
it comes to dippens. I'll ketch up and not the
same time. But I'll ketch up and i'll cream gravy.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Do you get that Texas toast in there?
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Oh? Absolutely, you have to have a cream gravy. And
maybe even asked for a second cream gravy, just so
you're not getting crossed contaminated.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Correct, correct, that is absolutely you that that is. That
is what the manual says. That's correct, Michelle. Go see
that Texas toast, the Texas toast is underrated. That Texas
toast is that is something that that may be the
single best item on a fast food menu that you
you any any restaurant, that any high end restaurant. I
(28:25):
don't know that any of them could ever get that
Texas toast as good as that is. Raising canes does
go what focus from on? Focus? All right, Michelle, go ahead, dear.
Speaker 8 (28:34):
Final Sunday.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Mm hmm, see you don't like about that. It's very simple,
very straightforward, and back in the day the Sunday was
a like that was a big deal. Now it's too
plain for people. It's got they got to have, you know,
skittles on top of this, on top of their carmel Sunday,
simple and clear plastic one penny little cup that came in.
Speaker 9 (28:57):
Derek, go ahead, Yeah, it's gotta be the Hawaiian blizzard.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Man, y'all need to wake up.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
It's too recent. That's too recent. We don't like new stuff. Lance.
Speaker 9 (29:08):
When I was a little kid, it was the frozen
banana on a stick dipping chocolate.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Yes, indeed, that was delightful. What was that called?
Speaker 9 (29:15):
I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
I've been trying to remember.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
The whole time they had whoever did the hankering for
a hunk of cheese commercial? That guy? Remember? Remember the
guy the cheese wheel guy, I'm hankering for Oh it's
three o'clock, I'm hankering for a hunk of cheese. You
don't remember that guy. Oh, you're not old enough to
remember this. This thing was probably in the fifties, but
it was still around.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
It.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
So the dairy industry managed to get PSA's because they
managed to get the government to tell you that eating
cow milk was good for you. It's not. Well, you
get some calcium, but I mean, all in all, it's
not the best thing. It's delicious and delightful, but it's
not good for you. But they managed to get the government.
(29:58):
That whole food pyramid thing is a complete scam. They
managed get the government to say, yes, cheese is good
for you. So you had what was his name, Hank
the Cheesehead or something whatever, he's a cheese wheel guy,
and he was a cheese block with hands and legs coming.
I thought, we've had this conversation. And he would say,
all right, kids, is three o'clock. It's time for some cheese.
(30:20):
I'm hankering for a hunk of cheese. And you go,
it's right, I go make go get me some cheese.
And then what would you get. You'd go to the
Craft's singles, which is not even cheese. But I tell
you this to this day. That Craft single. You peel
off that Craft single, you eat it just right there
on the spot. Just look good, little snack. You're going in.
You're going in on that clear plastic container and getting
(30:43):
what's left of the single, even though it's not very much,
it's way more effort than it's worth because you want
just a little more of that Craft single. You eat
about five or six of those Craft singles, you do
not feel good. You realize, okay, there's probably not any
dairy in this product, not at all, right way
So I have to take mine my mind all my
workout because it allows me to.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Oh you're rolling your eyes already, I'm not even into
my story. So my trainer and I, Michael Petru, talked
about everything but what we're doing most of the time
to distract me. And so I said, you know, I
think it's a shame that Dairy Queen doesn't get its due.
The two fast food restaurants that do not get their due,
(00:32):
Dairy Queen and Sonic. Dairy Queen and Sonic have a broader,
more extensive, more impressive menu than water Bird or Nobody
even talks about berg here McDonald's anymore, like do they?
Does anybody ever go I can't, I'd like to go
eat at McDonald's. Does anybody say that it's all the
(00:53):
newer stuff?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Right?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
But I don't want to focus on Sonic right now.
Although if you go to a Sonic and pull in
their menu is so impressive, ramon, do you think it
helps Sonic or hurts Sonic that they're not a sit
down traditional restaurant like the rest of the places. Because
if if you wanted to go, which I never do
(01:16):
because it's it's mostly thugs sitting inside fast food restaurants.
I don't I don't like to be around them. I'm
a fat I'm a drive through kind of god. But
what if you want to go and sit down inside
the restaurant. Signic doesn't give you that option. So I
wonder if that hurts them in the grand scheme of things,
or if it if it helps. Ramo says to this day,
(01:38):
I cannot tell you everything that's on Sonic's menu. No
you can't. You got it's so big. There's cherry lime,
there's all the lime made products. There's all the slushy
based products, which I don't think anybody else even even
enters that field. You've got Sonic ice. Not to be underestimated.
Sonic Ice is like they they what McDonald's did for
(02:01):
French fries, and they did give them their due. Sonic
did for ice. I mean, it's it's real. So you
got the slushy based products, You've got the Sonic ice,
You've got the tater tots and all the tater tot
type pro products. You know, the chili cheese and all that.
You've got a solid hot dog. It ain't James Coney Island,
but it's solid. It'll do right, I'm just saying, if
(02:24):
you've got a broad range of interest at that moment,
you know, you got a bunch of people in your car,
you can everybody can do something with that.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
They're burgers are nothing to write home about. But they're
not bad. They're they're solid. I don't remember if their
fries are any good. They're onion rings. They overcook to
a crisp. They're the little bitty ones. So anyway, but
this is not a conversation about sonic what corn dogs.
The corn dogs are good. Corn dogs are good, good point,
good point. You know, corn dogs the kind of thing
(02:54):
you don't ever think you want until you get one.
You're on the Michael Berry show, man, I would like
to know what he's paying for a trainer that he
sits there and talks.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
About fast food. I mean, I'm in the gym every
day and last thing we talked about is fast food?
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
But here's the problem. I can't go eat the fast food,
so I have to talk about it.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
Oh, okay, I got a fair enough.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Have you ever known anybody that that's a recovered alcoholic,
You would think that the last thing they would want
to talk about is being an alcoholic. It's all they
want to talk about. And let me tell you something.
If you talk to a recovered alcoholic and you say
to him, boy, let me tell you something. I got
so tore up a couple of weeks ago. I don't
(03:41):
think anybody's ever been that.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Oh my god, I was that tore up at eight
o'clock in the morning and went on all day.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
They love to tell you how bad they used to be.
They revel in it. Right, Well, that's what I am.
In a fast foot, I'm a recovera what's your name?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Fair enough? A joke?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
All right? Well wait there, Joe, I'm not done. So
we got talked about Dairy Queen and I said, well,
I want you to not think about what I'm going
to ask you. I want you to say the first
thing that comes out of your mind when I say
one item dessert or main at Dairy Queen that you
would order right now?
Speaker 6 (04:20):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Blizzard? Blizzard? Blizzards didn't come around till like twenty five
years ago. Do you remember when blizzards first came around?
They turn them upside down? Oh that was now. I
feel like we're to the point, like yeah, yeah, you'll
have air conditioning in there and running water, and you
can turn the blizzard upside down. There should have come
a point where they some bean counter comes in and says, guys,
(04:45):
we're actually slowing the line down by two point two
seconds every time we do that, and over the course
of our stores, over the course of a year, it's
cost us one point two million dollars. Right. There's a
famous story of Tillman for Tita going into one of
his restaurants and I don't know if he'd ever visited
that restaurant before. It was you know, in Saint Louis
(05:06):
or Phoenix or somewhere that you know is not on
his usual route. And the story goes, and I have
this from a friend of the manager, from another executive
in the company who was friends with the manager who
was on duty, and it was like when mister Cathy
at Chick fil A, when they make a sight visit,
they don't warn you. So he comes rolling in and
(05:28):
he goes into the kitchen and he spies a waiter
walk into the kitchen and drop a plate in the
trash because it's easier than scraping the food off and
putting the plate and the spoons in the trash, so
he sat over in the corner. A few minutes later,
the waiter did it again, so he pulled the manager,
(05:49):
the waiter, and the kitchen manager into the kitchen. CEO
of the company five hundred and fifty units. He turned
the trash upside down, and he didn't tell them to
do it. But when he starts doing it, they know
they're supposed to. He starts picking through and pulling out
the forks, the knives, the plates, the valuables. Right in
the course of a night. That's probably a couple hundred
(06:11):
bucks worth of you start running the numbers, it's probably
fifty thousand dollars worth of product that you're just throwing away. Forks.
You're supposed to wash those and put them back, but
if you're the waiter, you don't care. Well, that story
became legend throughout the company. Maybe it didn't even happen.
It doesn't matter because at this point every manager knows
if tilman ever comes in. So anyway, what I thought
(06:32):
we'd do for one segment and one segment only, is
you get one item on the menu, one item on
the Dairy Queen menu that you can order. I think
good question. I think probably the steak fingers. Their steak
fingers are the quality of their gravy. Look, I'm not
(06:53):
saying it's going to hold up to a five star restaurant,
but you got to remember, Dairy Queen is for road trips, right,
Dairy Queen is not a day thing. It's not a week.
Dairy Queen is for road trips. And my wife, who
never eats fast food, when we get in the truck
to start to start driving, she's already ready for dairy Queen.
And my kids are that that is that is that
(07:13):
is a cherished memory in our household. So we will
do one segment. You get one item at the Dairy Queen,
one and one only make it quick. It'll be a
lightning round. Well, you bet you wish you on the
dairy Queenna. You're gonna sell some product today. And so
I just put that on the Michael Ferris So Michael
(07:36):
Barry Show. Several callers made an interesting point that I
had not thought about. Do you know why Sonic is
not a road trip stop? No bathroom? No bathroom? I
had never considered that that's a I mean, they might
(07:58):
have an outdoor bathroom, but who wants that, you know
what nobody wants to talk about a lot of Indians
own convenience stores. Dot A lot of Indians own convenience stores.
And in India, bathroom sanitation is not valued the way
(08:22):
it is here. So that's why when you go to
I'll tell you there's one. Oh my goodness, we've had
to get back to food talk because this will make
you lose it if you're on it headed out of
town outside of Katie, a little further out. I don't
know exactly what that community it might be, Sam Philippi,
I don't know. It's right about that area, you know
(08:42):
I'm talking about. It's on the right. There's a shell station.
It's the only thing for about five seven eight miles.
It's right there on the right. It's on a big
track to land. When you go in, then you have
to kind of go around the overpass to get back
on it. It's an Indian family, nice as they can be.
They always give me or my wife a little extra nod,
but oh acknowledgement you're Indian. We're Indian, you know, and
(09:04):
they can tell my wife came from India instead of
you know, being from here, because if you're from here,
you carry yourself differently, you know, and she'll speak to
them in Hindi. And it's the family that works there
and staffs it. And we stop there out of a
you know, pure emotional connection. But we do not go
to the bathroom there. The bathroom is vile. It's it's
(09:25):
probably the worst bathroom in the history of bathrooms. It
is just nasty. It is dank, it is awful. Yeah,
I think you get the point. Anyway, you get one
item at Dairy Queen, one item and one item only.
I don't care if it's on the dessert menu, if
it's a drink, if it's it's the one item that
you think that you like the most of what they do. Okay.
(09:49):
Bert Harvey says these d Q tacos are underrated. Agreed, Agreed.
You know who else is on the tacos are underrated?
Jack in the Box, Jack, I mean, are they horse meat? Yes,
they're not horse meat. Don't sue me. They're not horse meat.
They're delicious meat. And I love Jack in the Box
those tacos. And you know they do those little taco
(10:09):
poppers that should be illegal. They're like thirty five cents,
but you got to eat fifteen of them, and you
just crush crush them.
Speaker 7 (10:21):
All right.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
We got a lightning round. One item, one item. You
weren't ready for Lightning round. Oh my goodness, Okay, here
we go. One item, one item.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
Let's play a lightning round game by night.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Be ready. You're on stage. When I go to you,
I'll say your name and you be ready. Eric and
Spring Branch.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Go Chili, Cheese Frize.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
The Hall of Feen is wow. Okay, right out of
the gate, Zach go.
Speaker 9 (10:55):
Tacos.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Just give your name. They don't, hey tell and he
didn't have to tell what it is, just put their name.
Speaker 9 (11:01):
Dave got belt buster with cheese all the way, pickles, tomatoes,
extra onions, mustard and onion rings.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
And I'm chocolate malt.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Dave. You've called before, yes, sir.
Speaker 9 (11:19):
Hey, And I was helping camp Opo over there with
gallery this week.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Oh you're the one who cleans the parking lot at gallery.
I knew I remembered your voice. I just couldn't remember why.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
You know what I love about the belt buster? They
call it a belt buster. Think about that. You've said
it so many times that you forgot what it stands for.
Like you say breakfast so many times that you forget
that is breaking your fast.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You fasted through the night. Right. They call it a
belt buster. Hey, here's this burger so big you're gonna
get fat. Yeah, give me that thing, give me the
one that'll make me fat. That's awesome. I need to
give you. John go uh dip com You know what's
(12:04):
so funny? Petru said? That was his answer was dip cone.
He said, of all the great ice creams that have
come out since then, think about this that that dip
that dip cone in its day that was you can
ask them to double dip it, and what they'll double
dip it? Does it costs extremes? Who cares at this point?
(12:27):
Huh yeah? If it's ten cents more? You know. I
remember when I was a kid, it was like ten cents.
You get your cone, you get your your ice cream,
but to dip it was an extra ten cents. How
about that? What you think about that? Wanda? You're up.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
Chicken and dumplings.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
See that's something if you Ramona, you ever tried their
chicken and dumplings. I don't trust that. I stay. Those
don't seem to me? Are they good?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (12:54):
Yeah, we have them over here in Tyler.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
You and Tiler. H well, not right now now, but I.
Speaker 9 (13:03):
Live in Tyler.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
My people are off from my mama's people are off
from Tyler. Uh huh. I love that area. It's so
green and yes, it is so beautifully, wonderfully verdant. I
love that. And you got that lake? Are you on
the lake?
Speaker 9 (13:21):
Uh? No?
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Not really?
Speaker 8 (13:23):
Live out by the airport in a tiny house.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
We ain't nothing wrong with that? Do we appreciate the
consistency of the shape of the ice cream on the cone?
You ever tried to spensing ice cream on a cone yourself?
That's a good point. That's a moment of silence for
how well they dispense the ice cream so consistently. Yes, Gerald,
you're up. Butterscotch shake, butterscotch shake.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Yeah, my mind is blown.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
You ever had the butterscotch shape?
Speaker 8 (13:58):
Huh?
Speaker 4 (13:59):
If you haven't had one, you gotta get one.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
How long have they had done?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
That's been on the menu for forty years? Long as
I know.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Wow, where's your dairy queen?
Speaker 9 (14:13):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Well, I used to travel the road quite a bit,
so I've had them in just about every town, say
to Texas, for sure.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I love it.
Speaker 9 (14:21):
So what's you think about that?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
So there's a dairy queen over it, I think they
just closed it, like West Timer and the Beltway. I'm
not going there ever, because dairy queen is not something
I go to like a regular, like a water Bird
dairy queen for me, as I'm out in some town
off the main highway on the business route and there's
(14:42):
a dairy queen and I don't like the new ones.
If I can help it, I won't go to the
new ones. I love that old style red and white,
low slung building, the melomine over the laminate, over the
particle board, those L shaped seat you go in. It's
not the most deficient layout, but that's what you go
up there and stand. It's that same floor all the time.
(15:05):
You got the same desultry employees that don't want to
be there. They're also you know, they're always fixing the
ice cream machine and then they're they're doing the drive through.
It has to be situated on the lot exactly right. Well,
you get the point. Thomas go, yes, sir, ask for it.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Not on the menu.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Deep fried chili cheese burrios?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
What deep fried chili cheese burritos?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yeah, deep fried Britos covered in chili and cheese.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I had no idea this was an option. See, there's
so much you don't ramon. You don't know what you
don't know. Alan go.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Cookie dough blizzard.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
That's not my thing. I'm trying to remember if it
was Crockett or Michael that likes them. Crockett wants uh
gummy bears in his blizzard. I just I don't get that.
Arnold got Q dude, been ordering it for thirty five
years with the doctor pepper and onion rings, no reason
to change. They would have a special it was like
(16:11):
forty nine cents or nine nine, I can't remember what
it was, and we'd drive into town. There's a dairy
Quinn on the edge of town, and my mom would
take me and my brother and we'd go get a
peanut buster parfect I was good living. My brother died
from a peanut.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Old When Michael Berry's show, VIQ French Fries would taco.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Meat and cheese. This liquid nacho cheese. Problem with liquid
nacho cheese is all too often I don't think it's
actually cheese, and there's actually some fake cheeses that are okay,
But sometimes you can get off into some concession stand cheese.
(16:53):
That's that's really not good.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
You know what? I love ramon. Since we're on the
subject of cheeses. Uh, puffy tacos, A puffy taco with
a thin smear of cheese on the top, you know
I'm talking about, or just a like a tostada with
just a thin smear of cheese on the top, not
(17:17):
a bunch, just per And then you bite into that
first one, it crumbles and you get it all over
and you got to go chasing it down. But it's
well worth it. Seven one three, two one two five
eight seven four. I get a call from Eddie Martinez
during the break. He says, you know, you're the smartest guy.
I know, two law degrees, well traveled, well read. You
think about things, your reasoning skills are great. So how
(17:38):
do you decide to talk about dairy queen this morning?
And I've learned that with Eddie if you just let
him keep talking, he'll talk himself through it. And he goes,
I mean, I can't turn it off, But how do
you decide? I said, well, I needed a moment and
it just came. This came to me. We might get
to sonic in a minute lightning round.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
Let's play a round game.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Bite. You know what I loved about Dame's He didn't
just tell you he was having a belt buster. He
took extra cheese, double mayonnaise, little bit of mustard, chili
cheese with the cheese on the stuff. I mean, he
had the whole thing. Did you You know that guy
(18:23):
cleans parking lots for a living, right, he probably gets
thirty forty bucks at the end of the day, right
out in the heat all day. He ain't a young man.
A guy like that doesn't have money to go to
a fancy restaurant. He's not going to Federal American Grill
for a steak tonight in a nice bottle of wine.
A guy like that is hungry. He is. You call
(18:46):
it a belt buster. He don't give a damn. He's
not going well, I'm trying to watch my weight. No
a belt but yeah, you better believe I want a
belt buster. I want to have to unbutton my breeches
when I'm through eating it if you want to. If
you want to see he's something gratifying. Watch a guy
that's working outside, like on a construction site, watch him
(19:06):
pull his lunch pail out and open it up, especially
if his wife loves him. And he's pulling stuff out
and he's looking like, oh, she put a ding dong
in here, she put a hostess ding dong in here,
and I had enough. Oh I love that woman. And
then he's pulling little things out and got his coffee
and he's he's, you know, eating all that for that guy,
(19:27):
that food right then, I mean it's going straight into
his veins. It is comfort. There is nobody eating at
Tony's tonight that is going to enjoy their food as
much as that guy does at Dairy Queen or out
of the lunch pail. It's so true. Sandy, you're up.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Go Michael, Yeah, go Michael.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
I'm sorry, Michael. Yeah, somebody already said it that I
like that ice cream. You cannot find vanilla swirled ice
cream on a count anywhere else. You name it and
I'll go try it.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
All right. I feel like Sandy was monopolizing the time.
Don go ahead, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
That would be the DQ dude. In fact, in nineteen
seventy three, seventy four, when they first came out, I
was working at Dairy Queen and we actually handmade the dude.
There was none of this frozen package craft that came
to you. We handmade them.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Ramon says he doesn't know what a dude is. It's
a chicken fry steak. Isn't it chick fry stake sandwich?
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Isn't it chicken fries stake sandwich?
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Yes it is.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yeah, it's a chicken fries So it's not your regular chicken.
You know, Dairy Queen's buns are not the best buns,
but they're distinctive. Right, They're kind of a softer you
know what I'm talking about. They're a little softer. They're
they're not dowe, They're a little softer. Yeah, the dude,
(21:00):
dude is a chicken fry steak. Did he say they
used to make it? They used to hand make them,
because I'm sure they come frozen down and they throw
them in the fryer. But back in the day, Thomas,
you're up. Go.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Yeah, I got to go with the dude too.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
I think they're great that on the on the butterscot
you got to go with the malt, not to shake.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
You know, this could be a whole different day, but
Dairy Queen is the only place that I go shake
instead of malt. I always go malt over shake because
I like the malt flavoring. But Dairy Queen shakes. Their
malt is a little too thick and the shake is
a little milkier. And that's the only place that I
would do that. But Nita, go the dude man.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
Somebody's stole my thunder and I'm with Eddie Martini, which
is what?
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Which is?
Speaker 7 (21:47):
He stuck a nerve?
Speaker 6 (21:48):
I was kind of missed.
Speaker 9 (21:50):
I thought, what talking about?
Speaker 5 (21:52):
But he stuck a nerve.
Speaker 10 (21:52):
It's a Texas experience and I just had to call
in it real.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
When I found out that Dairy Queen was a Minnesota
corp ration and not a Texas one, I about lost
my mind. I said, but that's okay because Nolan Ryan
is their spokesman, and so that's Texas enough for me. John,
go ahead, butterscotch dilly bar. I didn't know such a
thing existing. I did not know such a thing existed. Brian, go.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
That peanut, bust your far faith. Get him to put
some of that caramel in there.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Hot carble web. Let me tell you something that hot
caramel back in the day that was you know, you
think about all this stuff we got chocolate fountains now
and people have them in their house. We didn't have
all that back then. That was it. You went up
there and slid that that thing open and it never
stayed on its track, and you got you something at
(22:48):
Dilly Bar or something out there. You mama, can I
have one of these? You were happy with the Michael
Barry Show.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
News.
Speaker 10 (23:00):
Afghanistan America is moving out, and now you know that
means the Taliban is going to have a bogo saying.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
By one get one free.
Speaker 10 (23:09):
That means you can save money on Humphi's assault rifles,
black Hawk helicopters, night vision goggles, tactical equipment and more.
You want it, we got it by one get one
free on grenade launches, rockets, imris and of course combat boots.
You can curb stop the infidels in style with the
high quality level boots from the Pentagon. Everything must go hungry.
(23:31):
We got plenty of recently abandoned service dogs. Don't blame us,
blame John Biden. So what are you waiting for? It's
the Taliban USA Military Afghanistan Bogo sale. Sh honey, Why
supplies last?
Speaker 7 (23:50):
All?
Speaker 10 (23:50):
Right?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I have politely suggested to dairy queen. Let's see if
they're marketing girl. All these major companies have some twenty
two year old straight out of college that they put
on the Twitter feed so she can talk, you know,
young folk talk. I have suggested politely to them that
if they have any sense, they will authorize me to
(24:14):
announce that the first hundred people at every dairy queen,
at any dairy queen in the state of Texas today
gets a free cone or anything in the sea through
ice box. One item. So that'd be your dlly bars,
that'd be your none of the you know, you can't
do you know what nobody said, And I'm glad because
(24:35):
I hate them. It's Sunday's. I've never understood the point
of a Sunday. I love bananas, but I don't want
bananas in my ice cream. I put Bana's in my
Cereal banana split. Yeah, yeah, bana split. Yeah. They're often
in you. Oh they are awful, Oh sunday Ah, Yes,
you're right, Okay, yes, I'm sorry. Lightning Round.
Speaker 8 (24:56):
Let's play a lightning round game.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
But the night.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Be you ready, because so when I come to you,
Jane go.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Hm jeene yeah, uh foot long chilling cheese dog with onions,
uh mustard Uh at jlipedos with a large underring and
a large dot coke.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
You know what, you notice how many people put jalapenios.
I think that's more of a Texas thing. You got
a foot long and Derek Quinn I didn't know they did.
Might have to check that out, David, go ahead, a
frosted coke. And what is that.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Fosted coke? Is Coca cola and ice cream that's blended
like a shake. Best thing in the world.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I had no idea.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Get you one, Michael.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
That goes on the list for today's show. Notes this
frosted coat have mercy lost. That's better than a root
beer float. I bet you know. Jason Collier, who was
our chef at the RCC for a while, came up
with this concoction just messing around. We had a soft
(26:23):
serve ice cream that we gave away free because Russell
does it at Gringoes. I thought, why not do it?
People loved it. But he started tinkering around and he
put shiner bock. He made it like a root beer float.
I know it sounds disgusting. Put shiner bock over that
soft serve ice cream. Change your life. Cutter got chocolate
(26:51):
Dilly bar mint. That's well, the mint makes it too new.
But in the old days of Dalli Bar, they didn't
have the offerings they had back then. Y'all don't know, Mary,
go ahead, don't.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Laugh at me.
Speaker 8 (27:05):
But a crispy chicken garden salad with Honeymoser's dressing and
saltine crackers on the side, it is to die for.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
I'm gonna go ahead and say no, Jeff, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Steak finger basket. Yes, cream gravy is absolutely incredible.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Okay, But I have a question for you, and this
is very important. The cream gravy is for the steak
fingers only or also for the fries, because I do
my I do the ketchup for my fries. But I
see some people do their cream gravy. They use the
cream gravy for the their fries. Also, what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I go both ways. I'll alternate. I don't discriminate when
it comes to dippens. I'll ketch up and not the
same time. But I'll ketch up and i'll cream gravy.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Do you get that Texas toast in there?
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Oh? Absolutely, you have to have a cream gravy. And
maybe even asked for a second cream gravy, just so
you're not getting crossed contaminated.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Correct, correct, that is absolutely you that that is. That
is what the manual says. That's correct, Michelle. Go see
that Texas toast, the Texas toast is underrated. That Texas
toast is that is something that that may be the
single best item on a fast food menu that you
you any any restaurant, that any high end restaurant. I
(28:25):
don't know that any of them could ever get that
Texas toast as good as that is. Raising canes does
go what focus from on? Focus? All right, Michelle, go ahead, dear.
Speaker 8 (28:34):
Final Sunday.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Mm hmm, see you don't like about that. It's very simple,
very straightforward, and back in the day the Sunday was
a like that was a big deal. Now it's too
plain for people. It's got they got to have, you know,
skittles on top of this, on top of their carmel Sunday,
simple and clear plastic one penny little cup that came in.
Speaker 9 (28:57):
Derek, go ahead, Yeah, it's gotta be the Hawaiian blizzard.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Man, y'all need to wake up.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
It's too recent. That's too recent. We don't like new stuff. Lance.
Speaker 9 (29:08):
When I was a little kid, it was the frozen
banana on a stick dipping chocolate.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Yes, indeed, that was delightful. What was that called?
Speaker 9 (29:15):
I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
I've been trying to remember.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
The whole time they had whoever did the hankering for
a hunk of cheese commercial? That guy? Remember? Remember the
guy the cheese wheel guy, I'm hankering for Oh it's
three o'clock, I'm hankering for a hunk of cheese. You
don't remember that guy. Oh, you're not old enough to
remember this. This thing was probably in the fifties, but
it was still around.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
It.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
So the dairy industry managed to get PSA's because they
managed to get the government to tell you that eating
cow milk was good for you. It's not. Well, you
get some calcium, but I mean, all in all, it's
not the best thing. It's delicious and delightful, but it's
not good for you. But they managed to get the government.
(29:58):
That whole food pyramid thing is a complete scam. They
managed get the government to say, yes, cheese is good
for you. So you had what was his name, Hank
the Cheesehead or something whatever, he's a cheese wheel guy,
and he was a cheese block with hands and legs coming.
I thought, we've had this conversation. And he would say,
all right, kids, is three o'clock. It's time for some cheese.
(30:20):
I'm hankering for a hunk of cheese. And you go,
it's right, I go make go get me some cheese.
And then what would you get. You'd go to the
Craft's singles, which is not even cheese. But I tell
you this to this day. That Craft single. You peel
off that Craft single, you eat it just right there
on the spot. Just look good, little snack. You're going in.
You're going in on that clear plastic container and getting
(30:43):
what's left of the single, even though it's not very much,
it's way more effort than it's worth because you want
just a little more of that Craft single. You eat
about five or six of those Craft singles, you do
not feel good. You realize, okay, there's probably not any
dairy in this product, not at all, right way
