#3708: Whatadick

Mike arrives late after a scheduling mix-up, briefly considers blaming a power outage, and proves once again that honesty is the most inconvenient policy. His anniversary weekend delivers a terrific dinner, a baseball championship for Michael’s team, and enough sports victories to make him immediately suspicious of the universe. Winslow celebrates by peeing directly into a running fan, which sends the boys toward the only sensible solution: diapers for every member of the household. The guys also pause for a thoughtful look back at September 11, the communication blackout in New York, and the technology that changed how we experience major events. Then Robb performs emergency surgery on a bargain-bin Elvis while Mike heckles the Whataburger faithful as “Whatadicks,” joins their line anyway, and discovers that the burger is terrific—even if the apple pie belongs in the trash.

[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, okay. [SPEAKER_07]: It's either gone in the trash or she has now re-hidden it in a place where, you know, she can find it. [SPEAKER_05]: You know, this is the concern people have with NA meetings that you just go and meet up into a neighbor's. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and what is she, you know what she hasn't found them what she hasn't found my ice cream Whereas my mom is now referring to them clearly my the mouse sickles Sickles you're right that she's gonna think they're mice so they're safe Since we're talking about food yeah [SPEAKER_07]: I'm running errands today and Mrs. Omar's birthday is at the end of the week. [SPEAKER_07]: What is that you or me or what? [SPEAKER_07]: That's me. [SPEAKER_07]: The landscape has showed up. [SPEAKER_05]: Perfect. [SPEAKER_05]: Not any of my yards. [SPEAKER_05]: It's right.

[SPEAKER_07]: All right, here, let me, this is what I'm drinking. [SPEAKER_07]: That's why I'm, I'm all completely erected. [SPEAKER_04]: Take a breath. [SPEAKER_04]: It's good. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, Pepsi. [SPEAKER_07]: Okay, so here we go. [SPEAKER_07]: I used to think that as far as traveling, the most difficult food to manage, if you were trying to be somewhere, was the Burger King Burger. [SPEAKER_04]: It's a sloppy burger. [SPEAKER_07]: The Burger King Burger very almost impossible to eat when you're in transit, especially if you're being pursued by Seagulls. [SPEAKER_07]: And it was, I don't get it. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I'm sorry. [SPEAKER_04]: I should have said your time to feed him. [SPEAKER_04]: I basis or even so. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: It was a call back to when I had that moment, but a week call back because it's got to be more obvious. [SPEAKER_07]: You're right. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, I don't know. [SPEAKER_07]: I used to think that the water was the the harder thing to deal with. [SPEAKER_07]: It's, I've discovered now there. [SPEAKER_07]: I went through the drive through after I went out. [SPEAKER_07]: She's not listening. [SPEAKER_07]: Birthday shopping for Carla. [SPEAKER_04]: Are you going to get her a TV? [SPEAKER_07]: No. [SPEAKER_07]: Now I can get anything for the anniversary either. [SPEAKER_04]: You didn't get her anything or she didn't get you anything or I got her card. [SPEAKER_04]: That's nice. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Um, but I said, I'll, yeah, the bell. [SPEAKER_07]: I'll go through the bell and I will get the small, uh, tacos. [SPEAKER_07]: The three small tacos. [SPEAKER_07]: And hard. [SPEAKER_07]: Soft. [SPEAKER_07]: And one of the, if not two, one, the first one had a ruptured colon, right in my fucking hand, and I am telling you, I, you know, I was put together, prior to the show, I was ready to go, even though you don't see me full body, I've got a nice shirt on and very [SPEAKER_07]: I was show ready when I went out to run my errands. [SPEAKER_07]: So I looked together. [SPEAKER_04]: Mass you questioned or actually issue a statement to all the Taco Bell people within the sound of my voice, whether you be an owner or a worker. [SPEAKER_04]: I understand that you're owned by PepsiCo and young foods. [SPEAKER_04]: You're already operating at a strong disadvantage. [SPEAKER_04]: But when you put something say sour cream in a taco, [SPEAKER_04]: Spread it out. [SPEAKER_04]: You don't want a dollop of sour cream in one place. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and that's what happens to you I couldn't they don't they don't but they should yeah, I look down on my lap. [SPEAKER_07]: And I went how does [SPEAKER_07]: My big mistake, they do this little, you know, what's the, what's the, what's the Japanese paper folding that they are? [SPEAKER_07]: They do this little origami bullshit where they, they place sick place the taco in the paper. [SPEAKER_07]: And it has the little fold at the end. [SPEAKER_07]: It's like a little pocket where it sits. [SPEAKER_07]: No, by the way, where it sits and is glued to the paper because the paper is not proper for, for that vehicle. [SPEAKER_04]: The waxed paper half envelope is designed for all of the cheese to fall out. [SPEAKER_04]: This is the design of it. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: And the little slivers of cheese, but you, but in and there was it was usually the taco meat is of a consistency where it's okay, just moist enough to eat it. [SPEAKER_07]: This was watered down. [SPEAKER_07]: What taco me? [SPEAKER_07]: This is a diarrhea taco. [SPEAKER_04]: You got beef and not like a steak taco, not the steak so often. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, that's the main thing. [SPEAKER_05]: You have to upgrade that beef every time. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you don't want that. [SPEAKER_07]: Well, you mean that the ground beef? [SPEAKER_07]: I should upgrade it. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, and what is it? [SPEAKER_07]: It's probably, if you get a regular Taco Bell person, so I don't know. [SPEAKER_04]: Steaks off taco is probably now, what are they like $14 each because it got steak in it? [SPEAKER_07]: I've had like the three I had was like eight bucks. [SPEAKER_04]: That's about right. [SPEAKER_07]: I had an eight dollar lunch. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and you spent it was worth about two dollars. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, if that. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, tiny little taco shell soft tacos. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, there was not one you go up a lettuce dollar cheese. [SPEAKER_04]: It wasn't long ago that you could go to Taco Bell and pick anything you wanted from the menu until you got tired and your total would never exceed eleven dollars ever You could do it. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah [SPEAKER_07]: I don't frequent the bell, but I've always been happy with it when we go. [SPEAKER_07]: But I had forgotten that this is a process. [SPEAKER_07]: And it was... [SPEAKER_07]: I was his angry as I can be angry at food, you know, ejaculating all over me, the, you know, and by the way, nothing stains like taco meat stains. [SPEAKER_04]: I know because you got in the fat and every fat and tomatoes and a cumin and maybe even some smoked paprika, all of these are red things, get right on your shirt. [SPEAKER_07]: No, it's still there and you know what and I use my my go to my Costco Kirkland baby wipe, which is usually the stain the feeder and then the last time I did the last time I have one of these problems like it's shit I mean all the time. [SPEAKER_07]: I mean I'm just of slob and and the last time I used the baby wipes with the tide to go stick that had been sitting in the car for three months and the to go in and when I took the lid off it [SPEAKER_07]: It's smell like a corpse's crotch when I, when I, it was no, I did not, I Simmons Blazers, what a terrible Simmons Blazers. [SPEAKER_07]: What does that mean? [SPEAKER_07]: Explain that. [SPEAKER_07]: I don't understand. [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe he's a man who sells men'sware. [SPEAKER_07]: L
