That was fantastic, especially since the articles were incredible bummers and Nick was like, “what?”. I couldn’t care less about fast food as a topic. The entire appeal of the show is Nick and Mitch’s relationship and interplay.

The fast food stuff is of course not the main attraction. Except all the Steak N Shake episodes where they went to the lovely California restaurants. As a Midwesterner those got me real steamed

I imagine some of it was exaggerated, and it's probably good for them not to actively despise someone they work with for years (and maybe they deliberately lightened things up during the pandemic?), but it was an interesting dynamic.

I got tired of them getting into similar arguments over dumb bullshit all the time, I find the show much more enjoyable when they're just roasting each other rather than argue.

No, I mean I definitely enjoy when they're arguing over a trivial topic and it's for fun, but some of the older episodes had arguments over legit issues like about booking or their schedule and there definitely seemed to be actual concerns, mostly coming from Nick. It seems like they were able to make improvements and he's happier now but I could totally see Nick calling it quits if he were consistently exhausted and miserable. I'm glad it's just the two of them and they get along and can make significant changes so it isn't just eating junk food all the time, like it's fine for Nick to stop eating meat or for them to play games streams or movie chat so it's not only eating. It's from a long while back but I remember listening to the Adam Carolla podcast and it was funny when he'd yell at his producer Donny over a minor issue and I thought it was just exaggerated for fun. Then not long after Donny quit, sued over profits, and got a six figure settlement. I don't think our boys have that kind of hateful atmosphere but yeah sometimes tensions are real.

Wouldn't have been surprised with any score for Checkers/Rally's, it's a restaurant with wild variance. Kinda surprised it wasn't a service issue though -- not the fault of the actual workers, just how it's managed, but it can be a nightmare sometimes. Like once a year I'll remember "hey, you haven't been to Checkers in forever," go there, and it's great. A month later I'll remember that experience, go back, it's terrible and I won't go again for a year.Hobo Clown posted:What happened with GMA?

KICK BAMA KICK posted:Like two years ago, pre-pandemic, they got invited to do a bit on GMA that would've been them actually flying in and appearing in-studio; GMA did not have much flexibility about when and the slot offered happened to conflict with Nick recording the pilot of HDTGP and he was just unwilling to move that, so they had to pass and Mitch was unhappy about that, both for real and also just playing it up for a running joke. A few months ago they did a very brief remote bit for GMA about the chicken sandwich wars, which sort of put it to bed. Ahh ok the HDTGP convo makes a lot more sense with that context. Nick's such a weirdo sometimes haha

One of my favorite bits was "backyard bbq draft" where Mitch would get bummed that he didn't think of hot dogs or some poo poo fast enough

It was vegetables I’m pretty sure. I remember because I felt stupid because corn and potatoes aren’t the first things I think of as vegetables but of course they are. Anyway my favorite version of Mitch getting mad is the first time they played Pie in This Guy where Wiger’s final clue was “it rhymes with “McBonalds Mapple Thigh” or something and Mitch got mad because it was too hard.

5 minutes into the double with Claudia O'Doherty about the Friends pilot, only for Mitch to reveal he forgot to explain the segment or even ask her to watch the pilot beforehand. This is the doughboys magic at work

I’m always amazed when a funny comedy writer/performer likes Friends. I don’t think it’s bad per se, there’s worse things to have on in the background and all the actors do their jobs very well, it’s just… it’s comedy for people who don’t actually like comedy. you can spot all the punchlines coming from a mile away, especially with Chandler or Phoebe, it’s all so boilerplate
