Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, So I got to tell you guys a
funny story. So I have to protect some names here.
I got to be very careful about this. This is
a real thing that happened. I was recently at a company,
all right around lunchtime, okay, and someone brought in food

(00:20):
for this company, okay, okay. And I was talking to
two people that work at that company, and they were
just having small talk about the food that was brought in,
and somebody said, uh, yeah, weirdest thing happened today. And
I'm not saying this was today or any other day.
It could have been six months ago for all you know.

(00:41):
Clearly today and they said, hey, I ate a taco
and there was a bolt in it, okay, like a
car bolt or like it had like ad did you
ask what size of bolt.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Pepper and if they kind of gave you a little bolt?
He said there was a bolt in it.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
And I was stunned, and I was like, wait what
And then he made the gesture you're showing that it
was a metal bolt, you know, like a tool like
as that would go that would accompany his screw. And
so there was a bolt in his taco.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Skin.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
You told me story. We will again not put any
company on blast here.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
It's a place that I definitely when I lived in
down there, I used to enjoy going to. And he
told me a harrowing story about something that was in
a taco.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Condom my dad.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
My dad been into a street taco that had a
razor blade.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, that is happy Halloween stone.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
And so we were sitting there at lunch and he
was like, you made this crazy face and then we
looked and there was razor blade. That's terrorism, that's attempted
murder that doesn't accidentally happen. That's like, well, but if
it is possible that you you for street tacos use
the razor bay blade to grind up like the Cilantro

(02:14):
or the Youngs, to make him even finer, because that
was my first thought, was someone planted that. And then
it was like, well, if you know it's some of
these old prep stations, it's possible.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
It's I mean, who.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Knows, right, because it's a one, it's not a chain,
it's not a chain. So they're doing whatever they want,
prison rules style. Let's just make it how we want,
and we make him with this razor blade, although the
staff may not be properly trained, and you get down
the road a little bit and someone accidentally leaves little
razor blade in a taco.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah, or shave when I cook sometimes? So and what
you shave? Okay, so you're over the stove and you're shaving.
I don't have to be the stove. It could be
the sink. It could be the cuking and the sink
could be And he's talking about his pubic region.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
You realize it would be safer for you to cook
a meal in your toilet than it would to be
cooking in your sink.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
Really, Yeah, I don't cook in the sink, just over it.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
He has you wash something here? Do you have burners
in your sink? No, let's get back to the bolt.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
The preparation.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
I will say this, though, I do stumble across this
guy on social media who makes food in hotels in
the bathroom.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
That's weird. So he'll set chicken.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Down on the counter in a bathroom and like make
nachos and stuff in the sink. Oh, Hasslehoff likes to
eat his food on the floor of hotels rooms.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
There's some fecal matter on your food.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
The thing about what been just described, though, is that
it's a world just full of dumb content. And so
the guy that's like, you know, I'm the guy that
makes chicken nachos in the bathrooms of hotels.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Oh yeah, I know who you are.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
You know.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
It's like, what is the little thing you can do
to differentiate yourself from all the other dumb stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
There's the guy who goes through.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Like walmarts and like films people's reaction while he drops
fake farts?

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah what about that? What about that?

Speaker 5 (04:02):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (04:03):
That busty gal that went into the walmart and remember
she was doing stuff in the produce section. Oh, she
was leaving her underwear. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, she had
a bit. That's her bit. That's her bit. Let's see
what It doesn't seem like it takes a lot of talent,
but it's certainly a way to distinguish herself. There's the
guy who goes, I don't know, this could be cussing

(04:25):
in Spanish, so I won't say it, but he's.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
I don't know, I'll just translate it.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Go ahead, No, I think it does it rhyme with
minshi mindejo right, kind of nice. He's a guy that
goes and he says that we were to say that
on Kleno. No, that's not what he's saying. Oh, she
probably means like, I'm suddenly.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
You don't even know you're a great bit because I
remember that you probably Moneno guy went up to Joe
Biden and like yelled at him and Joe Biden.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Okay, this brings up an interesting question about the FCC.
Do they just monitor English two one four seven eight
seven one because I speak English? So if I happen
to say a group of syllables that in some other
language may be offensive, I can't control that I'm speaking English.
The reality is we've learned nobody is monitoring. They're just

(05:24):
waiting for a report.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah, they're waiting for a complaint. I've always worried about complaints.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
Which I could say with that phrase it means multiple things.
So you look it up, so well, look it up
on Spanish urban dictionary. Oh dude, I need to check
Urban Dictionary because I submitted a phrase last week, remember
golden pouches. Yeah, I need to see if they accepted

(05:49):
my They never sent me an email.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
I was disappointing.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
I want to know, though, did you know the guy
that ate the bolt before that encounter.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yes, okay, so it's just listening right now.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
So it's a guy that you know that okay, clearly
you played basketball with him. No, and uh, okay. And
he bit into a bolt.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
And when he bit into the bolt, was he eating
a taco? In your face? And goes, oh my god,
I bit into a bolt earlier. He had some lunch
and he ate and he bit into a taco and
there was a bolt in it, okay, and it hurt
his tooth and everything. Did you see his broken tooth?
I didn't break his teeth. Did you look into his mouth? No?

Speaker 2 (06:31):
I didn't. Well, rubbing his belly, I did not. Okay.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
So the guy tells you. The guy tells you he
broke his tooth on a bolt. He didn't break his tooth, oh,
he said. He just randomly brought up. I was eating
a taco and there's there's tacos, and by the way,
I was eating one of them and there was a
bolt in it.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Now here's where it really gets interesting to me. And
this is where I gained a lot of respect for
this guy. And I was like, Okay, this is my
kind of guy.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
He went back and had another taco and it shows
what good tacos they are, because he was like, all right,
I'm willing to look past this bolt in this taco.
This was an accident. I have total taco confidence. I'm
gonna eat another taco. It's delicious, you know. And here's
the other thing with that, I really respect. If you
had flown on a plane and it crashed and you survived,

(07:26):
you should feel good about all other flights because the
likelihood that you're ever involved another air crash it's astronomical.
The likelihood he's ever gonna eat another taco with a
bolt in it.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
I think he can.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
I think he can put on a blindfold and just
have taco shoved in his mouth at all times.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
He's good.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
It sounds like he viewed it as not only did
he get a taco, I got an extra bolt.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
And then he asked me do you want to see
it the tooth or the bolt or the penis or
the bolt or his tool pouch. Because if a guy
comes up to me and he's like, do you want
to see it? I immediately think he's that's goofy. Yeah,
especially he says, hey, man, you want to see my boat? Uh,
the whole thing reminded me of our intro.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
Start time boys.

Speaker 6 (08:28):
Right now, you're ready, right right, right, right time to.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Do one.

Speaker 5 (08:32):
Q w efan with I show. You're gonna ruling it
if you except your similar wee pursuing it. Huddled out
shaw shank through the sewer, kid, Now what're chilling at
day eagle? Yeah, we're doing it. Three o'clock on the dock.
Got a habit for my house, a gold status Howard
starting to get craddic shows adding up, multiplied like a rabbit,

(08:54):
dun the end.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Zone out, creak it up, feed the habit.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
I'm want anything out. My friend rocking on Homeboys talking,
it's just a baby, baby, go Katie in all the radio.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
So a friend of ours bit into a taco and
bit a bolt. I had another friend just texted and say,
better a bolt than a nut.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah, man, you know what I mean. On the person right,
and it does the razor blade.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
You said your dad bit into a taco or brito
and ate a razorblade, or bit into a razor blade. Man,
He's lucky that he bit into that like flatly as
opposed to it being vertically, because it could have just
sliced up his gums and then who knows, I could
have gotten infected or you know, a lot of horrible
things could have happened there, and that likes his tongue.
That's a little hole in the wall spot right it

(10:00):
it's a place that is attached to another place where
there's a lot of traffic. Okay, you know, like you'll
see like a little pop up taco kitchen kind of things.
That's basically what it was. Here's what I want to know.
I want to know, and I genuinely care about this.
In fact, this is something we should do on our
YouTube channel. Go out and explore, Alice fort Worth. I
want to find the best burger, best caso, best barbecue,

(10:26):
and best taco in town. Like I don't want all
because all almost all burgers, almost all tacos are good.
But where are the best ones? Your very best ones
that are like absolutely legendary. You're making me think that
you want to do something called taco wars. Yeah, and
I would be down there, Okay, taco wars hell, Yes.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Dang, you know what I'm saying. I'm pretty much in yeah. Wow,
But I don't think you're gonna find it at a place.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Christina, hold on, well, You're not going to find it
at a place it at some point one's residence.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Okay, but you can't. He brings up a good point.
You will you make me a taco.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
If we're gonna be thorough, we have to go to
every building in America and see if there's a taco there.
I think houses. I think it's a residential thing. Oh,
who has the best thing.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
I've got quite a bit of family. Who can get
you going? Really? Who has the best residential tacos?

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Well?

Speaker 2 (11:23):
You get great.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
You guys are both married to Hispanic women. Do you
feel like you have a way better understanding of taco
life than most people?

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Now? Have you learned more about it?

Speaker 1 (11:34):
I think I do, actually, because I'm straight up gringo.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Gringo tacos are dope, but I kind of yearned for
the real deal. Did you say, urine? For the real deal?

Speaker 3 (11:43):
These are?

Speaker 1 (11:45):
This is This was very early on in my relationship
with my wife. Is the first time that her mom
was making tacos. There was nothing even remotely cheese related.
And I grew up in tex mex World. Yeah, put
some cheese on there to then I was like, oh,
there's no cheese over here. I don't understand how can
I process this? And so her mom is just such

(12:07):
an accommodating person. She started bringing caeso fresco. Oh no, right,
and so there'd be the little white crumbled cheese that
we'd have. Then I started enjoying that with different kinds
of tacos. In other words, if I know what else
is part of that taco, then it kind of changes
what I want with it, cause I think now I
live in a mix and match taco world. And one

(12:27):
of the things that I would say to my wife
is like, you know this whole idea of well, that's
not real Mexican food, And I'm like, well, that doesn't
matter because the text mex experience is badass and the
quote unquote authentic because even with quote unquote Mexican tacos,
there's variations of that, like if you go further south
into Mexico or Honoay style taco is different than the

(12:50):
tacos along the border, for example, Like, dude, it's kind
of like a bourbon or any Like I know somebody
who loves red wine, but they drink it with ice.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
It's like, so do it how you want to do it? No,
you can't know that person. Do it how you want to.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
That's a person you shouldn't need. You don't have to
psycho do your thing however you want to do it.
I agree with that sentiment, except for on that case
of that one person. So I mean, if if we
were to start a TV show that was Taco Wars,
Taco Wars uh and we I mean, would you go

(13:21):
fast food or only dine in?

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Would you go residences?

Speaker 1 (13:24):
I think you include fast food residences, pop up stands,
fast casual, okay fast?

Speaker 2 (13:30):
What corn tortilla? I mean, are you going? Are you
going flour? Corn?

Speaker 6 (13:34):
Whatever? Like?

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Sometimes if I'm offered flour or corn and I choose flour,
my wife looks at me sideydude.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
That and that slander needs to stop.

Speaker 4 (13:44):
Be a little more welcoming into the culture and don't
because sometimes you just want a flower tortia taste better.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
It's worse for you, but it tastes better.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Christina, you go to a restaurant and they got great tacos.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
How are you ordering it corn? Soft?

Speaker 3 (14:00):
See?

Speaker 6 (14:00):
I I'm going soft because I had corn tortillas just
last week and they just break apart so easily.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Respect They're not a taco meat delivery system like like
a pouch a lot of So that's why a lot
of corn tortillas will double tort well, yeah, a lot
of double see they'll double tort with oh right, right right.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
You'll see that frequently.

Speaker 6 (14:20):
So if you're getting a street taco, obviously you're gonna
go corn tortilla, double corn tortilla.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
But sometimes if it's like you know, and there's the
whole idea of is it homemade, which just means did
you hate did you make these tortillas?

Speaker 5 (14:32):
Man?

Speaker 1 (14:32):
The quote unquote homemade flower tortilla. That is sexual pomp.
It is so good, dude, And that's why that place
roses that they make those tortillas right there in front
of you.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
There's so much better. That's good.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
Uncle Julio's too, Yeah, yeah, I like to sell so
over a Uncle Julio's.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
You know what I'm down with too? Uh for a
crunchy taco. I love a greeno taco and a crunchy shell.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Love it. I want one crunchy one soft, but take
you that's good?

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Way wait together, yeah, no, I'll do it together.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Yeah, that's a taco bell item. You can make it
on your own though, you make it on your own. Yeah,
I want one crunchy, one soft and it breaks apart.
I have not chos.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
I think taco is the best a la carte individual
item there is. Oh yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Where there's individual items, I mean the closest thing to
that would.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
Be a salad. But once to eat a sound. Right.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
So it's just like tacos are just ever expanding into
a world of magic. Like there's so many different ways
to taco. That's the way to put it right there.
All right, we just started a new show called Taco
warst Yep. All right, coming up next, let's take it
to Hollywood, Katie. Why is Jessicas Simpson in the news, Well,
she swallowed something, ben.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
I leave it at that.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah, all right, it's a dream come true. We'll discuss
it next. Before we get there, let's talk about
