Diners vs. Waffle Houses

that the other didn't feel the same way. Honestly, this is one of those things where it's best that we became good friends before we found this out about each other, or else one would have judged the other pretty harshly. We probably would have judged each other. Today's topic is, uh, diners versus waffle Houses. Okay, so this is waffle Houses of the world taken on the diners of the world. Well, well, well it's the waffle houses of America. Mm hmm. Because

I don't believe waffle House is a international company. I feel like if it is, we would have heard about it. I feel like, yes, because waffle House only operates like, the closest waffle house to hear is in Pennsylvania. And me and you know, my friend Ben ben Bergman chopped Big Bergman. Me and ben Bergman have contemplated, uh, renting a car to go. I think it's like a Scranton,

Pennsylvania waffle house. Yeah, the closest one, one of the best, one of the best outings you could probably have is hitting the six Flags on the way and then going to a waffle house. That sounds like an incredible weekend. Well, you know you have to do the waff house after six Flags. Yeah, yeah, you don't wanna. Yeah, you want to lose your waffle house. Yeah, you don't want to have a biological refund on all of your waffle house.

I'll tell you right now, though, the thing that would make that trip better besides six Flags and then a waff house is a six Flags and any dinner along the way, because waffle house it doesn't stack up. Okay, what to to an American institution of dinerism. Okay, all right, listen, listen. This is how you know you have life funked up. Okay, I'm gonna tell you this. This is the reason you don't drink okay, And I think you've only had like one drink in your life, right, No, I never drank.

So you've never had alcohol in your American Christian life, not one sip. You didn't have a rogue untt you know, irresponsible uncle, I mean my uncle is irresponsible. But the drake interesting. So the missing ingredient of waffle House is alcohol. So for a long time, when you first start going to waffle House, usually if you didn't go as a kid, you went in college. You start going to w like you've been out late with your friends. There's nothing, there's

nothing else open, so you go to Wilf House. It was a lot of food, it was super affordable, and you were drunk, okay or a little tipsy. So a lot of it is like if you are trying, if you have been out drinking and you are trying to ensure that you do not have a biological refund on all the alcohol that you purchased, Wiffle House is a sure fire away to make sure that you not do that.

Because all the times I've been out late and been drinking and seeing people very drunk in a Wilf House, it is very rare that I have seen somebody have a biological ref one because all that waffle house just soaks up all the liquor. See what I'm slaying, that's why you eat carbs like that after you drink. That's wrong. People are drunk. They want French fries, they want potatoes, they want stuff like that because it's just your body is like, bitch, I need help. Okay, you know it's so.

But they're out here. They're saving they're saving the children. That's what they're doing. They're helping people. He would help me and then help me understand, right because in my in my experience, just from the outside looking in. Like I said, I've never drank before, so I'm not I'm not gonna act like I know what you're talking about and what I'm talking about. You know what you're talking about.

I know what I'm talking about. And I've just noticed that in life, when someone has to be drunk for something is probably not as good as they think it is. Oh no, no, no, no, no, I'm not talking about I've never been to a diner and been like this food is amazing. There's a lot of times. Hold on, I know me finished, hold on, I remember my mom asked me to go to waffle House and it was like a Sunday morning, and I was like, are we

gonna get drunk? First? What are we doing? And then I was able to have out waffle house without having it be three in the morning and nothing is else is open or not being a little tips McGhee and I had waffle House, and I was like, Oh, this

is actually good even without the alcohol. Alcohol does give you a little like a little bit of a you know, It's like it's just a little you know, it's just a little a little kiss from a rose when you know, when you're a little inebriated and you're in a waffle house. And also it's like the ambiance of a waffle house. Also the waffle house has I'm sorry to interrupt, but ambiance is way too sophisticated of a word to a

waffle house. Listen, I'm be honest, too conphisticated a words used for Danny, Like That's what I'm talking about, because it's like, also there's diners, but it's like, is Denny's a diner or the restaurant but dinner or the restaurant but a waffle house, Nigga, It's a waffle house, so like, you know what you're dealing with. So this is just just for the listener, just just to make sure we've caught everyone up to speed. It seems clear that you

are on the side of waffle house. I'm on the side of dinner, and we're both coming at this thing with maybe an eight out of ten. Like, I don't really see our position shifting or changing, but I do plan to help you a log and understanding why waffle house is uh is that where it's at all? Right? First of all, you mentioned ambiance, um ambiance, the ambiance of fists, the aubiance of chokes, the aubiance of of someone that might be let your food burn only because

they are currently engaged in a fist fight. Listen, I've never had burned food from wilfile House because I mean, sometimes you're hat but because I get my hashbrown scattered, smooth and covered, so sometimes it will be a little crispier on the ages than I wanted to be. But like, honestly, I can't. I don't know how often I've had burned food from a restaurant period. I'm not I'm not talking about charge to an absolute Chris I'm saying it would

have been perfect had somebody not jumped the counter. Listen, I haven't seen have I seen a fight in a wiffe House? Yes? Was it with the employees. I've never seen a Wilfa house fight with the employees. I know what happens. We all know what happens. But um, you know we all have the same internet, right, But I've never seen I've never seen it. Also, what we could always credit the Waffa house or waffle house employees more

convicted felons m than anyone has ever seen. If there's a man, first of all, if the dude on the grill don't look like he served at least five years, I don't want him cooking ship for me. Yeah yeah, because that that comes with its own level of experience, Like now he's working with real ingredients and not prison ingredients. I understand what you're saying, but let me let me kick it to you why I think the diners are

just far superior. Go ahead, because I'm bougie. Okay. Look, all I'm saying is when someone tells me that they're about to give me steak, I just wanted to be steak. You know, when I get steak at a diner, I know that that's steak. When I get steak at a waffle house, that's burger. That's just burger. No waffle house one has steaks too. Why are you ordering a steak at a diner or a waffle house in the first place. You have set yourself up for failure. This is why

this is my issue with That's on you. You wanted a high quality steak from somewhere whose menu is thick like an encyclopedia. This is my issue with diners, and this has always been my issue with diners. Wilfile house, it's breakfast and then like burger ship right like I know there's a high turnover. The ship is coming out the door. Their menu, it's been laminated. I see the pictures. I flip it over. I see the pictures. Understand dinner menus,

chapter books, chapter books, Old Testament, New Testament. Do you mean to tell me that you have a turkey dinner, a lobster florentine or whatever, but also disco fries. What the fund is happening in here? I don't know. It is the middle of July. It is the middle of July. Who who is coming in here? And ordering turkey dressed in cranberry juice, I mean cranberry sauce. Who is ordering turkey with all the fixings in the middle of July.

There's so many things on those menus. There's calamari, but then there's also chicken tenders like all of like it's it's like, oh, there's like chicken kiev, but then it's onion rinks. So it's like, I know that there's stuff in here that has just been sitting in your freezer because people aren't ordering somebody somebody who order a meat low sandwich and a Greek salad in the same day. How long does that meat been the freezer? How long has the lobster been in the freezer? Turkey dinner? How

long does that turkey ben? The fun I have questions and concerns. First of all, how dare you slammed or the name of diners by assuming that stuff is sitting there? Any good diner has the kitchen and has the freezer. That's like a Narnia. All right, there's just amazing stuff back there, amount of space. And I'll tell you right now, what you think is the beast, I think is the beauty? All right? So When I see that chapter book laid out in front of me, I'm like, wow, I really

have options in life. I could I could try something and get something that I already like as a backup. So am I gonna get, uh, you know, a pasta with a burger? Maybe I'm crazy like that. I can get wild like that because I could get wild like that because I'm a dieter right now, I'm not limited to the to the cheese. You're gonna get a grilled cheese and a chicken alfredo, you fucking child. I'm I'm gonna get a grilled cheese. I'm gonna get spaghetti. I'm

gonna go ahead and no grill cheese against spaghetti. And you know what, you know what, just the top of it all, just because I can. Because this, this is what options in life do for you, you know, because when you go to a diner, you're your own little Elon Musk, your own little Jeff bezos. They're going to space. I'm out here having orange juice chocolate bill with the Monta Crystal sandwich, a set of front said a mont

A Crystal sand And that's okay. And that's how you have a biological refund is chocolate milk orange shoe and I'm money crystal. Okay. Also this is there is another metric that I want to bring up because you you already brought up a point for waffle House that they employ a lot of X cons, they're leading employers or X cons and everything I will I will offer up to you. A lot of diners out there have some of the best cooks in the world that just are

struggling right now. Right so, there are some cooks at diners that should be in some of those Michelin star restaurants. But you know what, they fell off a little bit. You know, maybe they maybe they burned the wrong person's steak, maybe they got into it with a supervisor and so then they regulated to only work at diners after that. Okay, I'm just saying I think the quality because you see the menu that takes skill to be able to do all that menu that meniters that take skill. That means no,

it doesn't take a top of skill. Tell me something on the diner menia gives me that I need skill for Okay, at I know, but it's a it's a do you really think that they are in the back of a diner making a stock from lobster shells and meet and then adding a cream and doing all of this. It's it's still a restaurant that mass produces food you buy it from. Have you worked in a restaurant before?

I have worked at a restaurant, and I can I can tell you right now that the best restaurants put love, time, care, attention and into every dish. And so what I go to it. But if I'm but if I'm getting a lobster bisk, that's five. You did not put love and care into this lobster bisk. You opened a can. Don't first of all, don't don't act like I'm not judging the amount of love. What I'm saying is there could be plenty of love, but what there was not was

prep work and care and time involved. You can't there's too much stuff on the menu. This is a high volume situation because if you don't use a lobster bisk out of a can, so you don't sell that lobster bisk, it's easier to throw away a can of soup that's old. Then two every day create this stock because this is the thing. There are so many things on a diner menu that if you have anything with a short shelf life, you're throwing away a lot of ship. You're throwing away

a lot of inventory. Yeah, you're not selling all of these. You have seven different soups. Lobster business are flying off the shelf. So why would you make that fresh every day? You can't. It makes no sense. You'll be throwing that soup out every day. So you have to have something in the back that comes in a small enough can to where this one dude that ordered lobster bisks in the past two days, he is going to get all the love and care that comes from a can opener

and heating up to something up on themself. Even if you think, because we don't know, we can't verify. Even if you think that all the lobster bisk and all the diners is canned, I'll tell you right now. To be able to go from type of food to type of food that also takes skill. All right, you're coming at me with a piping hot, delicious veggi field casadilla, Andrew coming at me with some chicken alfredo that's just

cooked a perfection. I would love I would love to see wallfly House trying to pull off both of those things because waffly House knows their lane. They have figured out what they are doing. They have figured out what they're doing. No. No, I'm talking about as a company, not as individual not as individual stores, because I have been an example waffle houses. I'm just like, I was giving pure chaos on a plate, and I've been in

some WiFi houses. I was like, oh, somebody wiped down the edge of somebody gave me some presentation of that. You see what I'm saying. Every experience is different, but every diner is different. But every diner, to me, every diner menu feels like pure chaos. It's like there's too many there's too many things on this menu. How was all this food in your kitchen once you and why would you want less good? Why are you talking about me that I'm trying to get the saying right where

it's like, oh, it's like a master of none situation. Okay, okay, so how's it? Semn other phrase goes, it's a jack of all trades, master of none. Right, So if you're in here making egg rolls, right, you're making egg rolls and and Thanksgiving dinner and pasta in case it is and dry nachos because the nachos are always dry. Always try, always draw the number of times that I have been just given just a just the sands of time nacho. There's a thousand things on your menu, so it's like, oh,

there's spanta, coprata and chili. What the hell is going on in here? So jack of all trades. But yeah, I cannot wait. I cannot wait. Two people hear you say, dip the spin and a coprata in the chili. You are a wild man. I love you. But that was a phrase. That was a wild phrase, dipped the spare of cope in the chili. Oh, the Lord can't bless you living like that. So it sounds like that sounds like a move from a poor child who just got money, like just just got out here. Oh man, I'll tell

you this. I met a guy at a bar. We went to the waffle house because I was the only that was open, and we were just sitting there talking. We were at this we were I guess it was a date or hanging out or whatever. We were at this waffle house for so long. We ate twice. H You saw people change ships. Oh there was a ship change. There was definitely a ship change. We were in there talking for like probably like seven hours, just hanging out.

Like the sun came up. I was like, well, we might as well have breakfast now we're in this bitch. So oh it's like but that was another great thing about a wiffle house. Wiff House is never gonna kick you out unless you're acting a fool. If they're not super busy, a wilf House will let you be there as long as you want. Okay, you could order a coffee in the waffle house, as long as you're not taking up a whole booth, wilf Houles will let you have that coffee and being there until the return of

our Lord and savor Jesus Christ. Waff House does not care. Okay, you're in here, You're in here. Yes, people will fight, but I've also seen bar fights. Okay, we've all been in a place. People fighting a Walmart, people fighting the CDs, people fighting doctor's offices, people fight everywhere, people fighting the street train. So I don't know why waffle House is getting all of the slack. Don't do that. Don't do that. That's because you love Wilfa House too much. Because it's

not like it's not a love thing. It's like you came with the loving attitude of like a mob. That's like, look, everybody fights sometimes, and there's fighting. There's fighting overseas. They're fighting at a war right now, they're like they fighting bars. If I don't understand why my baby fighting means he gotta be suspended because you you came with this thing of like outer stars singing about waffle House. But waffle House versus regular dieters has more fights per capita, all right,

there are more punch thrown. I don't want what you want facts and statistics. You're not gonna come in here and act like I mean if we're if we're putting the Dennis of the world and the eye Hops of the world, asking if we're doing that. I'm just saying, when we talk about virality, there are more viral videos of some ask wepons and some waffle Houses than there are at the eye hops. I'm not saying doesn't happen.

I'm saying that the Dnies and the eye Hops and the places that have But you have to understand that like eye hops close close, so when you're so when you're dealing with a business that is open during the drunk people time, You're going to have more altercations just because you're open during the drunk people time. You're open during fight time, you're open during shoot up, the club time.

Now because the eye hops that are open late. If you take eye hops that close at ten or nine in a twenty four hour hot, I've seen plenty of altercations in a twenty four hour eye hot. And any time a minute twenty four hour eye hop, it's because the line at wolf House was too long. If I'm in a Denny's, it's because listen, we all enjoy a moon is over my hammy, Okay, shout out to Denny's. All right, I'll enjoy a love of egg, you know,

an egg and cheese and ham sandwich. Delicious. But if you're if you're a twenty four hour restaurant, you're gonna deal with nonsense. You just are using people acting full on the twenty four hour diner we've all seen. But yeah, don't let's not. Let's not act like you're going to just get more riff raff because your business model. It's

riff raff time. Okay, But I think that there's something to be said this is also where the diners, the spectrum of diner that that we're in right now, it just it outclasses waffle house because some diners do close at a late hour, some of them close at once, some of them close it too, and that's just a little period of closing. Just that little period closing saves you so much because now there's time to come back in and meal p the staff gets to rest. There's

no one am to seven a m. Shift. I know that I'm getting the best and brightest of that time period when that shift starts, like no, you're getting a shift, that's it. If your shift is one am, unia shift is one am. If your shift is from twelve to twelve, your shift is from twelve to twelve. Some of the worst service I've had is in a restaurant that's empty in the middle of the afternoon. And if the restaurant at four pm is the worst service I get every time.

But this is I will say, it's let's and let's not act like that waffle house. It is not contributing to the community at large. Because have you all on have you heard of the waffle house Hurricane index, I've heard of the waffle house hurricane index. You can tell it for the people, for the people that don't know. But I'm already with you. Okay. Let me let me, let me give the folks the full Google bull definition

straight from your Wikipedia page. Okay. The wilfile House Index is an informal metric named after the waffle House restaurant chain to determine the effect of a storm and the likely scale of assistance required for disaster recovery. It was coined by former administrator Craig few Gate of the Federal Emergency Management Agency a k A. FEMA. The metric is unofficially used by FEMA to inform disaster response. So the index is based on wilfile House's reputation for having good

disaster preparedness, staying open during extreme weather, or reopening quickly afterwards. Now, if you get there and now this is the quote from Craig few Gates, former head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency a k A FEMA, if you get there and the wilfile House is closed, question mark, that's really bad, is what the man is quoted as saying. Now, there are levels to this ship. Green full menu restaurant has power and damage is limited or no doubt or don't

damage at all. Yellow limited menu, no power or only power from a generator or food supplies. Maybe low red The restaurant is closed indicates severe damage or severe flooding. Now, if you can tell me of any other restaurant, store, business, or food chain that is being used by a federal preparedness agency, I will be glad to hear it. Go ahead, go ahead. All that you have proven just now is that FEMA is in shambles. Shut the hell up because the hell awful house, you know that's not doing well.

It's an inf Now, listen informal it Basically it's like, okay, this is a colloquial kind of It's like, you know how like all the birds fly away before a tsunami comes? Yea, yeah, No one's looking to birds. There was an earthquake, a tsunami is coming. But if these birds fly to coop, that's your indicator. You see what I'm saying. If you tell me waffle house is closed because the weather is so bad, I'm gonna go, oh ship, we got to get the hell up out of here. Already boarded up

my windows, batting down the hatches. Right. But if but if I see on the news that the waffle house is closed. I'm fleeing the city. I've already put my boards up, I've already done all my stuff. But if waffle house is closed, and like, damn, this storm is batter than I thought it was. This is worse than this is worse than I thought it was. If anything, this is an indication of waffle houses stay too open. That's not that that doesn't make any sense. It makes

total sense. A place should open and close in a way that isn't such an indicator. It would be like it would be like saying, um, oh, I know, I know this. Uh, this guy right this this uh, this gentleman who does a lot of drugs. We are usually is not is not concerned about anything in life. So then if he gets concerned, you know, it's bad. It's like yeah, But also his level of concern doesn't doesn't really pique my interest because he's dealing with a whole

bunch of other stuff over there. I understand saying that waffle House is a drug addict. No, I'm not saying waffle House is a drug act I'm saying that it shouldn't take a hurricane to break through normal procedure. I think that maybe what do you think should have what? What do you you don't think it should be? You don't think any restaurant should be open twenty four hours?

Not not. I'm not saying any and every I'm just saying for the sake of just when I go to a waffle house, for the sake of everyone there, I think it would be best at this place closed for four hours. I don't know, like like I happened. I have been to one where when we walked in and like, we're closed, and we went your waffle house, yeah, and she's are out there. I just don't know about No. I think they just decided they were done. Like that's

the other thing. It's like they just just anything. They just decided they needed a break. Because she's like, um, we're closed, and I was like, your waffle house and she was like, but the reason they were closed because they had just gotten robbed. So then we had to go go to waff house across the street. Now the reason, no, don't do that. So you know the twenty four McDonald's, you know after a certain time you can't go inside. It's because people were robbing twenty McDonald's. So that's why

you can't go inside. The reason that certain Popeyes and certain neighborhoods have the check cash in place class because that's what you know what kind of neighborhood Like. If you're not sure what kind of neighborhood you're in, going to a fast food restaurant, especially a Popeye's, like a church's Chicken, a church's Chicken should already tell you what neighborhood you're in it. But if you're confused, go inside said churches chicken. If there is check cash in place class,

you know where you are. And just for people who don't know, the check cashing place glass is not just a type of bulletproof ish glass. It's also glass that has a little compartment in it so that you can put your money in and then turn it, and then they can put your product in and then turn it.

And that that also stops hands from having to exchange, you know, because then with with with hands exchange, it means they have easy access to you, which means they could bring in use a weapon, right, so they can slide a gun underneath, they can grab you by your hand. Um, but I can't tell you the food you get at a Popeye's or churches, Chicken with check cash and place class. It's never as good as the as the experience of having to It never matches up. Did you realize, Yeah, yeah,

it feels like the robberies that took place. There were four refunds jevy like like like the chicken that I've had, Now, give me my money back, give me my money back. And I don't want all of the money. I want Maya eleven sixty two. That's all I want. When my Homeboys was like, how can you do diners versus waffle house? Waffle House is a diner, and I was like, but you know that waffle house is waffle house. Like let's

stop playing with it, like, let's call space. Yeah, it's it's essentially like calling when people or like actually, dolphins are mammals. It's like yeah, but like the square rectangle thing. Yeah, because if I had the choice between a diner and a wiff House, I'm going dinner. Every time I'm going Wilf House, I'm going wilf House because it's like, I know when I go to the wiff House the time I get two things. Okay, when I go to a diner, no, no, no, no,

what's your wiff House order? What's my waff House? Or I guess I get the all star thing, the all star breast. Yeah, yeah, the thing that's is at the top of the menu. I think, okay, this is okay. So what we've established here is you are not a person who goes to wilf House. How do you get your ash Browns? I get them flat? I don't. I don't know what the listen. Listen, listen. You have not been to enough wilfile houses. You didn't your hash brown order down houses. I get my Hashbrowns on the way

they come. I don't. I don't ask them to be extra. You don't get your hashbrowns customized? No, because because here's the thing, the hash browns that you get at a diner. You can just go crispy, or you can go hey, can you you know, put a little gravy on whatever. The I don't know what people do. I'm just I put a hot sauce in a little syrup on mine,

on your hashbrowns. Just a just a smeach pepper, Yeah, hot sauce and just a little shoot, just little just a whisper, just a little you know, just petals in the wind of just a little bit of syrup just because like the whole milk just be like sometimes it's too salty. But scottard smothered. Actually I get scottered smot to cover the scotters were covered and peppered. I mean, if you really got to cover up your hashbrowns like that,

you didn't do them, right, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am. Do you know what any of these Do you know what any of these words mean that I just said scattered? So when you get waffle House hashbrowns, they'll come, they'll put them in the ring so they'll be like formed, right, Yeah, I get mine scattered, so because for me, when they're in the little ring, they're not all crisp because they're not. So I like mine scattered, so it's crisp beer because it's like a more surface area. Scattered, Uh, smothered is

with grilled onions, covered as with cheese. Peppered is chalapineos. Right. You can also get it capped, which is mushrooms us like shot what it sounds like. You can get them shot capped. Why they call him capped because it's mushrooms. Just say with mushrooms. Listen, it's a whole little cute little thing. I'm trying to remember what it one when you put add gravy to it. What's it called. Maybe maybe I'm just being biased, but I feel like when I go to a diner, I go to dinner specifically

for breakfast food, you know. So that's why I compared to a waffle house in my mind, because the same way that I go to waffle house, I get that all star. I go to a diner and I get, you know, two eggs scrambled with cheese, bacon crispy, and I get um hash browns and then some toast if they have it, and I'm and I'm easy, I'll get some at waff house. But it's not it's not the same. It's not it's not like I don't know how I describe this in a way that that won't maybe sum

it all up. The way that it's done at a waffle house, to me is is a bit too familiar, if that makes sense. So familiar. Yeah, so when I go to you feel like you could cook it. Yeah, when I when I get my order all breakfast food you can cook. Yeah, but there's something you can you know you can cook at I know you can make your own eggs. We are not talking about. This is not French cuisine. This is not a soup to your Okay, this is not a fine no fine dining experience which

diners have. By the way, let me say something. Is there a Michelin star restaurant that's only doing breakfast? I mean nothing, I'm aware exactly because it's eggs. It's eggs. It's fucking eggs. Okay. If you think that you every man makes breakfast, I don't know if that's the only thing we teach all how to make as a society. But a man can make breakfast. Do you understand? It's like I because like I love, you know, one of one of our favorite things that've been having a hard

time to find in New York patty sausage. I love a patty sausage. I don't know why I love about Wow. Okay, listen, hash browns and wife house scattered Okay, smothered with oven with onions, covered with cheese, chunked grilled hickory, smoke tam diced grilled tomatoes, pepper and halapenos, capped of grilled button mushrooms, topped is with birch chili country is when they got the sausage gravy on top. Or you could get all of them. You can also get it in a double,

a triple, or a quadruple order. Now, I don't know who's out here getting quadruple orders and hash browns. That sounds. I've seen it, and you and we've all gone, that's too much, that's too much. A double order, Like it's like if it's been all day and I was out, Like it's not often I'll get like a double order of Hashbrows. I saw a quadruple order one time, and when that band stood up, his gun fell out of his waist band like that there was no room for

the gun. There was no room for the gun anymore. So this dude, this new guy, quadruple order hashbrows eight them all and when he got up, the gun was like, it's too tight. I can't I can't be in there. I just I know there's people like listening that are just like we are so casual about talking about a gun, and it's like y'all have to remember, like I grew up in Georgia. Josh grew up in Louisiana. And we

both grew up in America. So if you have an issue with what we're talking about, one, you forgot where you live. Yeah, you forgot where you live, and the sympathy for you. You forgot where the hell you live. You need to calm down. You need to talk to your congressman. Okay, talk to your congressman. Make it so that that's talking about quit that when a pistol that

it's not so casual. But hey man, sometimes your guns, like you know, I gotta honestly, that lets you know the strength and the vigor of a waffle house hash Brown. If it's pushing guns out the waistban come on, bro, come on. Falling to a gun, falling to a tile floor has a very particular clatter that. Yeah, everybody got real quiet because you're like, oh, that's not okay, okay, we know, we know. Anybody just gotta go, oh sorry, my bad. Just you know. He was just like, hey,

my bad. And then then he tried to put it back and it was not going easy. That gun did not want to get his waist bad anymore. No, I was going to shoot himself, Like I was like, what's one of those things where he really like hiked up his chest and everything. You're trying to make room and I started just because like he can't hold it walking out. Yeah, kid's gonna look crazy. Just this's just let's just read,

let's just recap and just think about this. Okay. Usually when we have these conversations, we can have things to say about the one thing and things to say about the other thing. We have been talking about wiffle House most of the time because it's an engaging conversation, Okay, because we know that wilf House is for the people. Okay. I understand that we've let waffle House dominate most of

the conversation because it shular episode. But I think that it's because I really wanted to give you the time and attention for your waffle House arguments to let you wort of like put yourself on the grill and get burned, because I think that they're not coming out quite like you think they are. Okay. I think that one of the reasons that waffle House has been confined to the parts of the country that it has been is specifically because other states are like, we see the problems and

we don't want them. Okay, we see we see the issue. We see the issues. Hold on, we already have diners that are better. Don't bring that. Wow, I think that's what's happening. Wow. The disrespect. That's all hearsay I have given you that. They're not even hearsay. That's Josh say, Okay, we don't know why these other states don't have the wild House. You don't know we also No, no, no, you can't say that the reason wildfi House isn't in other states is because of how wild House has been presented.

Say to people, you're the proof for that. You don't know the words of my mama. You don't know. You don't know because you don't know. Okay, But I think that's because big diner, okay, big diner, Big diner okay, is keeping out the little guy, the little guy, the legal the little mega corporation that FEMA uses to track how bad a storm is. Where you cannot use FEMA now why because you you because you were like that

stores are just closed. No no no, no, you can't use the female to defend your argument when you were just shipping on FEMA for using for wilf holes being with You can't do that. Now I could do I could do both because the association is still there. That that's not no, no, no, that's not right. That's not right. That's not denied that the association existed. I'm just saying it means femas and shambles. But it's also tracking something

that's not a little guy. It's a mega corporation. So that's me throwing out my there's there's more likely big waffle house. There is big diner. Okay. I think that all the many different types of diners for them to form a coalition of eggs, bacon and hash browns and Monte Crystal sandwiches to keep out the wuss. Waffle House has the power and a stuffed flounder and Thanksgiving dinner and your calamari and I everything I've ever had at a dinner tasted reheated. Is that here saying? Is that?

Is that here saying? You know, I've worked in a restaurant before, and in a restaurant, but I I didn't know anything about you Chapters Lincoln. There's too there's too much food. Your burgers might get in heavy rotation. Your breakfast stuff is definitely your eggs are gonna constantly be going. Yeah, but legs by the way, not just a bunch of eggs juice, right, waffle house using waff house uses real X. Are we sure about that? You see the basket of

eggs when they're cooking your breakfast. You see them cook. You see a basket of eggs. Do we see them using? Yes? Me, gro watch them. You've never seen them cook. I've seen them cook. They're right there. You're just being rude. Now, you know good, damn well, they'll be using them eggs. You know, good and damn well, they'll be using them eggs and eggs. Don't just sit there. You've seen them refill the basket. Okay, you've plastic eggs. How do we know?

Get off my internet. Get off my internet. Get off my internet. I will not do this with you. You can see them take the egg out the basket, crack it, put it in the boiler, scrambled eggs, or put it directly on the grill where some person is going to have just the raw sunny side ash ashen. No, No, it's you know, hearsay, because you said that. I heard it. Wow, okay, no, no, no, no no, no, you had to Josh say. I had my duels say so. I will not be not we have to give it to the people. All right, now,

we have to give it to the people. It's are you team? Because this is diners and so this is diners, mean like any restaurant ends in the word diner or are we including I happened Dennings? Are those diners? Personally? I find them to be diners. I know a steak and shake as a diner. Yeah. I think when we were talking about this, I don't I know, I wasn't considering the eye Hops are the Dennys. I was thinking

waffle House versus your true true diners. Okay, so this is what we'll do, just to make it clear for the people as we wrap up, all right, when we go diners versus wilf House as well, I want you to keep in mind is that we're just talking about dining nurse like like not not chains. So you know, you don't have to give up your Golden Corral, your Denny's, your eye Hops or anything. We're just gonna have indeed

diners versus waffle Houses an institution. Okay. Um, I will say in the end, I can give you a little bit of ground that waffle House has a level of consistency that I appreciate. It also has um a level of calm even in the chaos that I appreciate because when that dude's gun fell, it was like it was kind of nothing Like it was like we were we

all star, but it was kind of nothing. Um a diner, someone would have run, yes, because I'm sure the employees were the people that cared the least that a gun just hit the floor. But I can't say the number of times I've seen a fight in a waffle house and has it's been less than tad calm down. I've never been worried like I was in Like I saw a fighting eye hop and I was like, Oh, we need to run. Yeah, they're fighting in an eye hoop.

This is this is a wild situation, right. They mean it like if you're walked into somewhere and been like there's fight energy in here, Like there's just like yeah, if I walk in and I smell um, like just the room smell spilled Hennessey, I think that there's there's definitely something that's about something either already happened or something's about to happen, Like when you smell dark liquor in a room just like like and you smell it like

off the floor, like not. I'm not talking about on people's breath or like pouring drinks or I'm talking about the whole room has a hint. You're like, no, we gotta go. I just want to thank everyone for listening. Um. I appreciate the points that you made, and I hope you can see where I'm coming from. The diners are far superior, and you you were not able to prove. You did not present any evidence to prove that dinosaur superior. All you did which try to bad mouth the wilf

of House. You didn't give me anything to All you said was diners have a lot of options, and I order food like a child. So we're gonna hand it over to you, the listener. All right, we appreciate you.
