This is the station with all your music in one place. Hey, hey, hey, it's 101.9 and we're here to win the contest this morning for Metallica. So again, seventh caller, seventh call out. Here's the seventh caller. All right, caller, what's your name? Hey man, this is Jim and I'm really on here man. I love listening to you guys all the time. I'm out there on the track, you're plow. Are you ready for the question for the Metallica ticket? Heck yeah, I'm ready to go see Metallica. Ready?
All right, so here's your question. There's a train and it's leaving from town A going towards town B. There's also a train going from town B to town A. Now, the distance between the two towns is 58 miles an hour. Train A is going 52 miles an hour and train B is going 28 miles an hour. When will they meet? Well, shoot, if you calculate for stops and you also do the fast divided by the fourth multiply by the acceleration, I think you probably get there about 1030. Oh, I'm sorry. That's incorrect.
We were looking for 1043. What's up man? This is the DVR tape, bro. This is DVR tape. You ready to answer the question? Oh yeah man, I'm ready for that Metallica boy. That's going to be tight. That's going to be tight. In 1893, when Antoinette Stone was driving the first motorized carriage, quote unquote, so they called it, where did they stop for gas? They probably stopped over there at the 711, boy. That's why I stopped buying these gases. Exactly. Cigarillo, bro. That's why I stopped.
We were looking for, there are no gas stations at that time and no cars. So yeah, I'm going to Metallica this weekend. So appreciate you. I'm Michael. And I'm Chris. And this is the Donut Box Podcast. Well, buddy, it's been a great week. Hey, we're dropping our video today whenever we release this podcast. The 18th, which is today. Yeah. It's going to be great. We'll see church rescue and all of our fun high jinks that come out of our minds. And it's only part one.
So get hooked on it so that when part two and part three come out, y'all be thrilled. I'll tell you, it's like Alice in Wonderland in my mind. It's like an amusement park ride. It just keeps going and going and going. And there's fun stops and there's upset highs and lows and you're like, what the crap is going on in here? Listen, if we had all the money in the world, trust me, there would be a trash world. And it would be great.
So we appreciate all y'all for being here all over the country, the great country, the United States and around the world. Where are some of the places around this country and around the world? Oh, man, did you know that we got some new listeners in Africa? I feel the rain down in Africa. That's not right. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. Well, you know what? South America is the only continent we don't have that listens to us and Antarctica.
But we're only two away from having all seven of the continents listen to us. Listen, if we have Antarctica listen to us, that is a feat in and of itself. OK, just saying. Yeah, the penguins are listening or something. I don't know. Or that secret Nazi base that they always talk about. Yeah, man. The over there in the Middle East over there in Singapore over there in the UK over there in Ireland in England in Canada. Florida's been a big one. Of course, our home state of Texas, Georgia.
So in the Midwest, Nebraska, Ohio, Kansas is not the Midwest, but you know, Iowa. Oh, yeah, Iowa, too. It's been great. Iowa. Yeah. Oregon, Washington, California, New Mexico. Man, it's all over the place. We really appreciate it. So you ready to kick this puppy off, man? I'm ready, man. Let's kick it off. All right. So we're going into our first segment, which is our old fashioned on it or a story from our past or just a little bit from our past.
So today we're going to talk about the many phases in which Bica and Chris have evolved. So I'm just saying there's a lot of people out there that try to figure it out. Hey, there's a lot of adults that try to figure out what they want to do with their life. But hey, we've had plenty of ideas, huh? And what we've thought about it and kind of phases of what we've gone through. This is not a phase, but Mike and I were literally just talking about this before the podcast.
We were talking about how like back in the day, we used to wear both of us were gym shorts underneath our jeans and like everybody did that. So it was like number one. So you could change into gym class real quick. And then number two, so if you wanted to hoop, you just be ready, boy. You just be taking off your jeans and you're ready to go ball. So I don't know when I stopped doing that. But yeah, that was definitely a part of my phase. Hey, I still do it sometimes. I don't know.
Just like sometimes you got to have gym shorts under the jeans. It is what it is. We've talked about the nerd phase of Christopher. I don't know if you really, I guess you kind of did have a phase back then too, but you could go ahead and start it off, man. So the interesting phase, and this was kind of a forced upon phase, I guess was what I would say. Or I guess I didn't know too much better. So my first phase was kind of, I try to be a skateboarder without a skateboard. Do you remember that?
Was this the blonde highlights phase or did that come later? No, that was the blonde highlights phase. Yeah. Yeah. So coming back in the day, it was called Frosted Tips where you would just literally dye the ends of your hair. And Micah dyed his hair blonde one time. Not all blonde, but partly blonde. Boy, I got made fun of for that one. I'll tell you that much. That wasn't, so you also have to think too, like coming from Europe, that was extremely popular in Germany and stuff like that.
Not so much in the States, especially not in the South. But so there was that, I don't know, my folks really wanted to go shop in the mall, especially when we moved back from Germany, they were like, oh no, we got to buy clothes from the mall and stuff. It was kind of like a statement piece, I guess. So we'd always got a pack son. Is pack son even a thing anymore? I think it is. I think they turned it into zoomies or I don't know. I think it's still a thing though. It's one of those types.
Well, I'll tell you this much. It was definitely different back then than it was now. It was kind of, it wasn't quite like Hot Topic, but it was definitely geared towards skaters, I would say, and then also surfers. There was lots of billabong stuff and then like Element Independent were some of the brands that were in there. Yes, and I actually fun fact for you guys. So I didn't have an older brother and Michael was younger than me, but he grew faster than I did.
I would get Micah's hand me downs and so yeah, I remember getting some of those Element stuff, some of those billabong stuff, but they were like already way out of style by the time I got them. Yeah, I mean, they were kind of going out of style whenever I was getting them and whatnot, but I just remember getting made fun of because it's like, do you even skateboard? It's like, no. It's like, well, you kind of can't wear that stuff. Did you have bands?
I fully remember you having bands at one point. I did. Yeah. I think I got those hand me downs too because I remember you having bands. That was also part of the skater thing, but you didn't skate. You didn't even have a skateboard. So I actually did have a skateboard at one point, one time and listen, I busted myself on it a couple of times and it just sat there. Yeah, man. I don't know. That was kind of a weird phase. I definitely remember that.
You would say that was probably like what, fifth, sixth grade, maybe earlier? Yeah, a little earlier. That was like fourth grade to second time. For those of you who don't know, I've failed fourth grade, so I refer to it as fourth grade the first time in the second time. In your defense though, in your defense, you had come to the States and you were going through fourth grade and you had just come from Germany and you came from a military base. So you're kind of a little bit behind.
So it's not really your fault. I would know. Yeah. I'd know. Like extremely behind. Like I was really, really behind. So it was, it was what it is. But yeah, you always got to, you got to count it though, you know. Do you want to know the, this was like a very brief phase for me, but do you remember my Fonzie happy days phase? Do you remember that? Yeah, with the leather jacket. So after the nerd phase, it was like, oh man, I don't know what happened.
Maybe I had just started watching happy days, but the nerd phase really went away and somehow I got this leather jacket, man. And I, boy, he, I played it up. He loved that leather jacket. I carried a comb. Uh, yeah, I popped the collar and everything. That was kind of short lived though. That was maybe like six months into sixth grade. It wasn't, it wasn't that long. What do you remember what stopped it? Like what made you, what made you stop?
You know, and this is going to sound like really like, ooh, Jesus, he said a school, but like we had, I went on a spiritual retreat, um, like with the church and stuff and God was like, that's not who you are. You need to stop trying to be something you're not and I was like, yeah, you write God. So I was like, yeah, I kind of felt bad about wearing the leather jacket and stuff. Cause I was like, this isn't really who I am.
I still like the leather jacket and I still wore it, but I didn't try to do the Fonzie thing. I didn't like pop the collar or nothing. That was a very interesting phase. Do you, do you want to go into your next phase? Yeah. So my next phase, how do I put this in a PG term? Like I want to put it in a different, okay. So I'll just say it like this. I tried to dress like I was black. Yeah. I think that was the next phase for me.
We, it was what they called the Wankster phase, uh, called white gangster. And so that is when a white boy tries to dress, uh, like a black dude and, uh, it's not like, it's like, oh, I'm doing black face, but you're like, oh, I want to hang out with the urban, the hip hop crowd. You were in this back then, especially you were in the saggy jeans. You were in the flat bill. I, I think I had that phase at the same time.
Like we both kind of had that phase and it wasn't like we were like, ooh, uh, Micah's doing this or Chris is doing this. So I'm going to do it. Like I was hanging out with the African-American community. And it was the, it was the same way for me and my, like, I started going through that, um, like seventh, eighth grade, something like that. And I really started getting into rap music real big.
And I mean, I would say that was at big time when Atlanta rap was, I would say probably hitting it's, if it wasn't hitting its peak, it was pretty high up there. I mean, it was big influence in our area. Well, it was like what we talked about. Like I tried hanging out with like some of the, the white kids and stuff. It wasn't like I was racist. Like, oh, I'm only going to hang out with white kids. But like I was trying to find like my friend group.
And of course, you know, all through high school and middle school, I really never quite had a friend group per se. Um, but like sitting with people at lunch and doing class projects, man, like the African-American community, they welcomed, they were like, yeah, you a cool white boy. Like you can come hang out with us. Like they gave me nicknames and stuff, like good nicknames and they stuck.
And so like, I was like, oh man, these people like, like me, man, like this group of people likes me and I'm going to hang out with them and they're cool. They don't make fun of me. Whereas like, uh, a lot of other people like made fun of me. And so they were like totally cool with me. Um, and so I was like, oh yeah, I'm going to be like them. And I started talking like them. And of course you're middle school. So like everybody does that. You know what I mean?
And you're trying to find your own way. I remember in my case, um, like there was some folks that lived in my neighborhood who also, um, like went to school with me and you know, there was always basketball spots. Like I remember we'd always go over to this, this one lady's house. We used to call her a little strawberry. Why? Cause her mom's name was strawberry and she was just like her mom. And for some reason she had a basketball goal. So we would all go over there.
And I don't know, it was like, what you were talking about, it's weird how it keeps coming back to basketball. But when Chris talks about, you know, that's why you wear the gym shorts underneath. It was just like that. Your friends would come around and go, Hey, we're going down to little strawberries house. You want to come play basketball? Yeah, absolutely. And it was pretty fun. I mean, it was always a good time.
And I don't know, like Chris said, they always accepted me a lot better than some of the snooty white folks did. I'll tell you that much. I think the next phase for you after that was like, you kind of jumped into the cowboy phase. I had one more phase after that or not, right before the cowboy phase, but it was like my baseball player phase. Do you remember that?
Or like I dressed like a baseball player and like, I didn't like a jerk like a baseball player, but I like wore a lot of the like baseball stuff and everything. Was that around the same time you were playing rec basketball or baseball? I think so. Yeah. Do you remember? I think the Marine phase was like before the cowboy phase, right? I think it was like, I think it was like your freshman or sophomore year in high school.
Yeah. I also had like a quote unquote Marine phase where I really wanted to go into the Marine so I like shaved my head and everything. And it was like, yeah. And I remember like taking a picture, not smiling, not smiling. I was being mugged in the camp because that was the thing man. In your bathroom. But the dirty mirror. But let me tell you man, like the African American community, my friends, they hyped me up.
They were like, yeah man, they were like, yeah, that's your mug shot right there man. It's your mug. It was like, you gangsta right there. They was like, you gangsta because you ain't smiling. He's like, that's a real gangsta right there. I was like, yeah, I'm a real gangster. That's what I thought. They hype you up so much. But I was just like this little sheltered out Christian boy. That's what I was.
Like ultimately at the end of the day, that's what I was, was like this sheltered Christian boy. But I remember taking a picture of me not smiling and me shaving my head. I posted on Facebook and this girl commented and she was like, why don't you smile? And I was like, Marines don't smile. She was like, well, my brother's a Marine and he smiles. And I was like, okay. But anyways, go on to the next point. Well your brother, well your brother, no. Yeah.
And I guess around that same time, well it wasn't really around the same time. One was a little bit later on. Okay. So I guess, yeah, you're right. So Western where our cowboy phase came first. And I'll tell you why. Did I ever tell you why I started like that whole phase started? I think you said I want to stand out and I'm going to be different than everybody else. And nobody else is wearing a cowboy hat. So I'm going to be. Yeah. No, that was part of it.
And so this was my freshman year of high school and middle school was all right. You know, I was okay liked. I'm not going to lie. I was kind of kind of weird looking back. I was like, yeah, I kind of would have been a little like that kid's kind of weird too. But you know, it wasn't like I wasn't, you know, it wasn't like I wasn't liked in middle school, right? But you go to high school, high school is totally different, right? High school was totally different than middle school.
And it was very, it was way more clickish. I guess middle school, it wasn't. So I guess my middle school, it wasn't very big, but the high school I fed into is massive. So a lot of those people that you just got along with because they're in your class or you know them or whatever, will stop talking to you all of a sudden or just randomly whatever or start making fun of you randomly, right? Stuff like that. And I remember that year, it was like, I got made fun of my clothes a lot.
I got made fun of like with a bunch of stuff and ended up going to a rodeo there in Augusta, like happened to have some like Western stuff and already had a pair of boots at the time. And I put that on and I was like, you know what, like I feel pretty confident. And like I looked at myself in the mirror, I was like, you know what, I look pretty darn good actually. And was like, you know, and at the time, I was kind of wanting to get into the rodeo scene too.
And so I was like, you know what, we'll be different. And but I knew like changing my style. Only the true ones were going to stick with you, you know, and that's what happened. A lot of my, a lot of the people who didn't stick with me, they wouldn't have been good friends anyways. And man, at the moment I switched the way I dressed, there's a lot of people that left my life for wearing a cowboy hat.
Yeah, it's crazy, man, especially in Georgia, like even though it's kind of Southern and stuff, it's still not like, I don't know. And I, and I was like, they're stuck up. And I was like, oh yeah, like, Micah's doing this is really cool. And I was like, like, there was always like that cowboy, it'd be like from a very young, I was like, man, I want to wear boots. Okay, time out, time out, time out. You know where that came from? I'll tell you exactly where that came from.
This man is a ginormous Walker, Texas Ranger. Yes, exactly. That's exactly where it came from. Listen, and so as whatever, whatever it started having, it was, I mean, you should have seen his first hat and the first, like the first style you have, was a Walker, I mean, it was Walker, Texas Rangers, who I aspire to be. It really is on the inside. But yeah, and then I started dressing that way. And then everybody was like, oh yeah, broke back mountain.
And I see all of the jokes they made either that or the stairs and yeah, the other thing. But that cowboy phase kind of lasted a good minute, probably until about, I don't know, until like, until after boot corral. Yeah, until after boot. Well, even with boot corral, it still lasted. I just didn't wear a cowboy hat as much. I mean, I still wear boots. You still wear boots. I still have all my Western wear. Yeah, but I just wear like a baseball hat.
Like I wear more of the relaxed Western wear, especially in the fall now. Like I'll wear the button down shirt, the jeans and the, and the boots and the hat. Like I'll wear my cowboy hat like every now and then, but it's just like not comfortable to wear. You know what I mean? It's just a big thing. And the thing I would hate the most, let me tell you this, I would hate the most when people at school would sit on my hat, they would take my hat or they would like crush my hat.
Like they were, there were several times- Or crinkle the brim, like grab it by the brim. There were several times where I had to like get a new cowboy hat and like I put my cowboy hat like on my backpack in gym class and like somebody like, you can tell somebody just like thrown their backpack and like crush my hat and like I had to get a straw hat like a new straw hat. Luckily there were none of my belt hats, but- I had a person full on Frisbeet.
Like grab the brim of it like Frisbeet across the room to somebody. Yeah. For those of y'all listening, that is a big no-no. You don't touch a man's hat. That's disrespectful. That's really disrespectful. Yeah. That's yeah. Yeah. That's a big no-no. Big no-no. But yeah, it was, so there was that. My next, so, you know, this is an extended old fashioned donut, but we're going to keep on going. My next phase was, went to, or I wanted to go to the Air Force Academy after that.
So I guess you had your kind of wanting to go into the military phase. I had my, you know, I wanted to be a pilot, but I wanted to go into the Air Force Academy way, you know, to get a leg up, but then also get the cream of the crop training or so you would think, right? The cowboy phase was the last phase for me and then it's just kind of morphed into my like own style. Like it's just been like whatever I want to wear, whatever is comfortable.
Micah's has worked into the dad style, even though he doesn't have kids, but I'm getting that way too. It's comfortable. Like you start wearing the dad shorts and you're like, ooh, this is comfortable. Like right now, like you're, the older you get, the more it is about comfort, comfortability and like you don't really care. I don't, I really don't know why. I want to, especially where I live right now, like we just barely got out of the hundred degree heat.
So I mean, it's just, it's too dang hot to be wearing all sorts of stuff. I think back sometimes and I'm like, how the heck did I wear jeans and work outside in jeans all in them 13 MWZs all dang day. I will say this though.
And like this is kind of shows you how much me and Micah share a brain, but I think we have kind of gotten into that Hawaiian shirt face unintentionally because there are several times where like, you know, me and Micah, like we live like at least six hours away from each other and like whenever we go to see each other, like we'll go meet up for lunch or dinner and then like we show up and it's like, he's wearing a Hawaiian shirt. I'm wearing a Hawaiian shirt. I'm like, Hey, nice shirt.
There was, there was even one time I'm telling on us right now, but there was even one time we showed up to eat somewhere, I think. And it was like, did you get them shirts from Wal- shorts from Walmart? It's like, yeah, I did. It's like, I got them same shorts. Yeah, I was like, we're wearing the same. It's wild how that happens. But yeah, that's a little bit of the phases of Micah and Chris.
You know, you go from being bonzy to just wearing, I do find myself wearing a lot, especially in the summertime. I do wear a lot of wrestling shirts now. But I mean, that's just, that's not like really a phase. It's just like, it's just wearing T shirts. You were talking about having earlier before the podcast, you were talking about having shorts from back in the seventh grade, you know, the folks at home can't see this, but the shirt that I'm wearing right now, I mean, how old is this thing?
This thing's probably from sophomore year of high school. It's interesting how that stuff, it's like, if it's, Well, I can't see it because it's dark. It's a Dave scamsy shirt. Oh, okay. All right. Well, there you go. Yeah. But I've always been a T shirt guy. There's some people are like, yeah, I'm not a T shirt person. I've always been a T shirt guy. Yeah, I liked it. But back to the Hawaiian shirt, I'll tell you this much that Coca Cola one was pretty dope. Sorry, we'll get off the wardrobe.
This isn't a low carb buyer. Oh yeah, we told the fans we wouldn't do that. That's right. It's our podcast. Yeah. The next segment is the jelly donut and that's the jail report. It's been a while since we've done this. But this week we're going back and we are going to do Florida man stories. Got to love Florida man. Okay. So you ready for this one? This is the best, the best of 2022 apparently. So the very first one of Florida man was found with drugs after getting trapped in a porta potty.
Oh yeah. I think I've heard about this one. You heard about this one. So, so he apparently he was found by a deputy because he had his foot sticking out of the bottom of the porta potty and when they called apparently whoever called them reported a disturbance around that. And so whatever the deputy opened the door, they found a battery substance in a bag that later tested positive for fentanyl along with a syringe.
So but apparently he had his foot caught in the porta potty and couldn't get it out. And I don't know if he was trying to do his drugs in the porta potty or what? Probably not thinking very clearly. After police chase, a Florida woman says that she crossed off getting arrested off of her bucket list. Why is that on somebody's bucket list? I don't know. So according to the deputy, she was driving and she tried to get pulled over but this lady continued driving.
So she eventually stopped and was taken into custody and then she told authorities while she was getting arrested that she had been that she had had getting arrested on her bucket list since high school. And so then she was charged with fleeing and eluding. So apparently she just eluted ran from police just to get arrested just to cross it off her bucket list. Aiden in the bed. That's what I think of. I'm just kidding. That's from my cousin, but that's a great movie.
But man, I just don't understand why that's on somebody's bucket list. Like, I think that's just dumb. I mean, why go out there and get a record over some. This next one, Florida man is charged with throwing a hot dog and a St. Petersburg police officer. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I've seen that. I've heard about this one. Yeah, I'm okay. I've heard about this.
So the guy was being warned of violating a city ordinance by an officer and apparently he ignored the warning and continued to sell hot dogs in the road after apparently his permit had ended. And so the police officers didn't ask him to put the hot dogs down, but then he continued his attempts to sell it before coming upset and intentionally throwing the hot dog at the officer, according to documents.
Then he was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer without violence. So yeah, he threw a hot dog at him was like, you're not going to tell me not to sell. And people are bold dude. Like, I mean, I would never ever think of assaulting a police officer. That wouldn't even cross my mind. But some people are bold. Like good for him, I guess. Some people like throwing throwing a hot dog. All right.
So this guy sounds like he might have been on some serious drugs or something. Florida man drives a stolen truck to the Space Force base to warn about a battle between aliens and dragons. Oh yeah, that guy was high. So he drove to the Space Force base and Brevard County, and he showed up and said that he was on a mission from the president of the United States. So apparently he stole a truck and drove it about 50 miles.
And so when he tried to get into the base, he claimed that the president told him that by a mind, it's all like he a message from the mind here that he needed to take a exactly that he needed to communicate and telepath and warn government officials that there were US aliens fighting Chinese drag. Wow, that sounds like a scene out of Grand Theft Auto when Michael was tripping on the tripping on whatever it was that he took and then he saw the aliens. That's funny.
And so he was arrested in charge of Grand Theft Auto of a motor vehicle. So a Florida man wearing nothing but a cowboy hat attacks a woman with a machete like a rhinestone cowboy. All right, so the Florida man was arrested in October when police said he attacked a woman with a machete wearing nothing but a cowboy hat. So apparently the woman was riding a bicycle. Police said he asked her for a crack pipe. She said she didn't have a crack pipe. So he chased her around with a machete.
So he was charged with a tempted murder, tempted arm robbery and aggravated battery with a weapon. That's wild, man. People just, some people just need help. I'll pray for them. Just got a few more here. So Florida woman speeds through a police checkpoint and takes a selfie during the traffic stop. Oh yeah, I've heard of this one too. So apparently this woman was driving through a police checkpoint, which you know those really don't happen in Texas too much.
I haven't seen police checkpoints where they just stop people and check their info. No, I've only ever seen it one time and it was when I was probably maybe fifth grade. It was on New Year's Eve and we got stopped because there was a police checkpoint and people of course were, the police was checking to make sure that people weren't drunk driving. So that's the only one I've ever actually. Yeah, they used to do that in Mississippi a lot, trying to get people caught up.
Anyways, so she drove through the police checkpoint going about 60 and according to authorities, they chased her down the road of course. She finally stopped and apparently the deputy was waiting for backup to arrive and he saw her lean out the window and take a selfie before driving off again when the deputy exited his vehicle. So literally she stopped and he was about to get out. She leaned out the window, took a selfie and drove off. That's funny. Good for her. Just kidding.
I wonder if she still has that picture. Did she post it to Facebook? She probably did. So, um, alright. Actually that was the last one. Sorry, I thought there was one more. But apparently that was the last one. Cool beans. Well, that was a great jelly donut. We're gonna move into the next segment, which is the donut hole. What do you got for us? Oh man, so you know we've been, we love to do quizzes and ask each other questions, so why not do that again?
So Chris, I'm gonna ask you questions about foods origins. So how, how well do you think you know about where food comes from? Um, I think you did this a while ago and is this just part two of it? I think I can figure it out. Yeah, this was, these were a little interesting actually. I took the quiz myself and I got a lot of them wrong. So I'm curious to see if you know. Alright, so cinnamon buns. So like cinnamon rolls, cinnamon buns, where did they originate from?
Was it A, Madagascar, B, Brazil, C, the United States, or D, Sweden? Ooh, I wanna say either Madagascar or Sweden. I'm gonna go with Madagascar. Ah, you should have went with Sweden. Yeah, it was Sweden. Ah man, I, I, I felt like I should have went with it, but I decided not to. Trust your gut. Yeah, right, right. Alright, so the next one. The popular dish in Chinese restaurants of Chopsui originated in which country? The United States, in China, in Mongolia, or Micronesia? Ooh, Mongolia.
It is actually the United States. Did you know that Chopsui is just something that is made up here in the States? I didn't know that. I don't even know what Chopsui is. Chopsui is a Chinese American creation that roughly translates to a sordid mix or miscellaneous leftovers. So like mystery meat could be pig intestine? Kind of, but what, I've seen it in regular restaurants, I've seen it like noodles with like different stuff in it, you know what I mean?
Okay, well I'm not really a big Asian dude guy, but whatever. Next one, which I wasn't really aware of what this is, apparently it's soup of some kind, but have you ever heard of borscht? No, I've not. We could skip that question then, but do you want to take a guess on where it's from? I could give you options. Romania, France, Ukraine, or Monaco? Ukraine. Hey, you got it right. Yeah, it sounds Ukraine, you know. So borscht is a beet soup, so like Dwight's root with the beef, with the beets.
That's what I literally thought of. White. And apparently you can eat it cold or hot, but it's the national dish of Ukraine. Good for you. Shout out Ukraine, healthy, healthy, and good. All right, French fries originated in which country? France, Belgium, Canada, or the United States? Well French fries are made in France. They're originally made in Greece. Just kidding. That's a dad joke. They're made in the US. I know that's a US main thing. Actually they are from Belgium originally. What?
No, no, no. Where'd you get this quiz? Buzzfeed? No, no, no. That's, it's, it's for real. I, I've heard that. It's actually the first time that they came out was in the 1800s, but it was, they were used as like fritter stands, like on the street, but the original French fries came from street food in Belgium. I'm not gonna say something, but I'm not going to. This is a family friendly show. All right. All right. The next one. Which country did Saviche originate in? Do you know what Saviche is?
Isn't that the name of your cousin? One of them. So, Saviche is a, it's a seafood mix. A lot of times it's like shrimp. It's kind of like a shrimp cocktail, but it's, a lot of times it's like shrimp cocktail with like pico de gallo in there and things like that. Is it Algeria? Is it Peru? Is it Qatar or is it Tunisia? Saviche. Pico de gallo. So maybe one, three. What was the first one? Algeria. Uh, let's go with Peru. You are correct. Peru is correct.
As soon as you said pico de gallo, I was like, oh, that might never have happened. The way to describe it here is it says it's a marinated fish and shrimp with acidic lime juice, salt, chili, herbs, onion, ginger, tomato and different garnishes. The popular brand Nutella, the hazelnut spread. Where did that originate from? Is it the Netherlands? Is it the United Arab Emirates? Is it Columbia or is it Italy? I want to say Netherlands. That's all I want to say.
It is actually Italy. Ah, I knew it was one of those European places. It was apparently invented by a guy named Petro Ferrero. I wonder if he did the Ferrero Roche stuff. Probably that's what I'm thinking. No, because yes it is because that's what is inside those Ferrero Roches is Nutella. That's what that is. Oh, so there you go. He just took the insides of it because I think everybody loved it so much that you just made that. They're in cahoots. Anyways, that's probably true.
Nutella is good though. I really like Nutella. All right, just a few more here. So fajitas, chicken fajitas. I was like, why call it fajitas? That sounded so wrong. I know. It does. That sounded so wrong. I'm sorry, it's a family friendly show. Anyways, fajitas originated in which country? Is it South Africa, Mexico, the United States, or Monaco? Dude, I feel like because it's so gimmicky, I feel like it originated in the US. I would feel like you do. Yes, yes it did.
It was actually originated here in Texas. It is one of the original brands of Chexmex cuisine. Okay, be honest though, how many times do you really go to a restaurant and order fajitas? On the cool, how many times do you really do that? I'm trying to think the last time I did it. You're ordering, you're not just ordering fajitas, you're ordering like a show. That's what it comes out. That's exactly the thing. I'll put it to this way. They're good, but let's be real.
A lot of times it's actually not that much food in comparison to when you get other things, depending on where you go, I guess. Most of the time they bring out the sizzling plate, right? That's half of what I don't like. I don't like the attention that it brings. Because it brings the table. That whole restaurant's looking at your ass. I'm telling you. Yeah, it's true. And here's the thing, it is more expensive than what's on the menu. Oh my god. It really is.
I mean, the thing is sometimes that thing, in nowadays terms, it's like $22 to $25 in comparison to like $10 to $15 for a normal plate of food. It is the drama queen of food. That's what it is. Because yeah, you hit the nail on the head. I don't like the attention that fajitas bring. I don't like it. It's expensive. Exactly. You see, this is why we're friends. I get exactly, I like it. I don't like it at all. I just bring my enchiladas. There's no drama with enchiladas.
I'll just tell you that much. All right. All right. Next one. Apple pie. Where did Apple Pie originate? Is it England? Ireland? McDonald's. Something like that. England, Ireland, the United States or South Sudan. I'm going to go with England. You're correct. England it is. So Apple Pie's came from England. All right. The last one. The Hawaiian pizza. So for those of you who don't know what a Hawaiian pizza is, it's got Canadian bacon, and which is basically just ham.
I don't know why they call it Canadian bacon. Pineapple. And pineapple. So the Hawaiian pizza originated in which country? The Shailes? The United States? Canada? Or the Marshall Islands? I feel like it's from the United States because I feel like it's like a California thing. It's actually Canada. Oh, wow. Yeah. I think it's Canadians are weird. Yeah. And it was apparently invented by Canadians who were Greek immigrants. So yeah. Interesting. I never knew that. So yeah.
Weird, weird origins of food. I don't know. I found some of those. Like I said, I kind of took the quiz myself and I got a lot of them wrong. Actually, I was not expecting some of them. Yeah. Good quiz. I didn't do so hot, but yeah, you know, good quiz, good quiz. You know, I made you feel like you're uncultured and whatnot. It's okay. I'm glad we got on the same page about Maheedus because I'm glad somebody else feels that way.
Yeah. I'm not going to spend all that to have all the people look at me. Screw that. All right. So speaking of things that make you uncomfortable, maybe even takes you off. It's time for what fries my fries. And Chris, it's your week. What fries them, buddy?
We have talked about this and we actually talked about this on the Krispy Kreme show and we talked about this, I feel like on our earlier episode of the Donut Box podcast, but I just don't like when people hop on the winning team and then whenever they're the flip floppers, right? And my thing is like, oh yeah, everybody wants to be on the winning team, right? Everybody wants to be on a team that wins, right? And I'm not a big sports guy, but I'm seeing this right now with Colorado.
I've seen this with that Colorado team. Like everybody is hopping on that bandwagon and it's like, man, like I know that you think that Coach Prime is controversial. I know that. But I mean, he's successful, right? Like he's come in and he's kind of totally shifted the game. And I can admire what he does. I can admire that. I can admire it, but I don't have to be a fan of it. I'm not going to go out and buy Colorado jerseys tomorrow.
But my thing is like people want to be on the winning team, but like number one, they don't want to be on the climb to get there. And whenever that winning team isn't doing so good, they're so quick to criticize and they're so quick to get off. And that's just how it is in life. I don't like that. I don't like that at all. Fair weather fans is what it is. When things are good, they stick around. When things are a little rocky, they go away.
My biggest thing is, especially in the region that I'm in right now, where we're seeing it big time is University of Texas beat Alabama. And so now everybody around this area is like, oh yeah, UT's back. UT's back and they're going to go and they're going to go and they're going to win. And I've never seen somebody UT fans, right? But the last few years, you wouldn't really see them. Why? Because they weren't very good. But I just, I don't know, man. I'm kind of not really in for this age.
And a lot of the times too, you switch over to other sports teams or other professional sports or even college sports. A lot of times it's about the player. It's not even necessarily about the team anyways. So that really gets my goat. Okay, I'm diving off into something totally different. You know what I hate? I hate the media, Chris. In particular, the sports media. They sensationalize the crap out of stuff that is stupid. It's the most stupid thing.
Like when Aaron Rodgers went down, they're like, oh, yep, he's done. He's done. He's retired. He's done. He's out of there. You know what they need to do. And so that was day one, right? Then day two after he gets injured, then it's like, what do they need to do? They need to sign Tom Brady. They need to lure him out of retirement. That's their only chance. That's their only hope. It's like, really? I don't think so.
And it's funny because we've only gone through one week of NFL, but a lot of the storylines are like, yep, they're not going to be very good this year. Nope, they suck. You know what? That's not going to be very good. And it's like this player's underperforming. And it's like, you've heard of Josh Allen, right? They were talking, they're like, yeah, he's really regressed for last year this year. And you're going, he's played one game.
I don't know how you can really judge if he's regressed or not. He had one game. But what I'm talking about, and you can translate this over here into life, right? When you're doing really good, everybody wants to be on your team. Everybody wants to be like, oh, yeah, Michael's doing so good. Yeah, I helped do that. Oh, yeah, I did that. Oh, yeah, I was his friend the whole time. Yeah, especially you see that with famous people like, oh, yeah, I knew so and so. He went to my high school.
But chances are you probably didn't talk to that person in high school. You probably were mean to them. And so when you're at the top, everybody wants to be your friend. They want to be on the winning team. They want the success because they live vicariously through you. So they want that success too, but they're just too lazy to put in the work to do it. And then what happens as soon as you fall off, they'll be the first ones to criticize you. And I just don't like that.
No, I don't like that either. It's a bunch of fake folks out there doing that stuff. I just, I don't know, man, we live in interesting times. We live in really interesting times. People are extremely wish-washy and very bandwagony even more than before, I feel like. I feel like COVID had a lot to do with that. I've seen that more than ever, dude. Like just with the wishy-washiness, like there's no commitment to nothing. Like I feel like that is just amped up since COVID. Like I really do.
Oh yeah. It's, I don't know. A lot of the common currencies have dropped. Yeah. I think that's a COVID thing. That's what grinds my gears, fries my donuts, gets my goat. You know what I mean. All the euphemism. Be original. Be original. Yeah. Yeah. In a world full of originals, be separate. Or that's another thing. And I know this is, I'm trying to wrap it up, and it's another tangent, but it's like, it's like, express yourself.
Be original, but everybody's trying to be original right now, right? Like everybody's trying to do that thing that sets them apart. And it's like, okay, then you're kind of just being like everybody else. Everybody's trying to be a Tik Tok. Everybody's trying to be... Oh, you know what's crazy?
It's to the point now where have you seen the, what they call it, influencer rooms, where it's literally big old warehouses full of people and they're just in lines with like the little glow rings, but they're all doing like product reviews or something, but they're all in kind of their own little makeshift cubicles, but it's just miles of that stuff. Wow. I mean, that has become a career. So I don't know, man. It's crazy. I don't know. It's kind of creepy. It's kind of creepy. I don't know.
Well, we're going to move into our next segment, which is the mystery donut, which is our improv segment. I think we're playing a game. Is that right? Yes, we are. We're playing the ABC game where Chris and I have to create a story or a dialogue going down the alphabet. And yeah. So Chris, what are you thinking, man? What do you think we should do this thing about? I'm thinking at a buffet. At a buffet. I haven't been to a buffet in a long. I actually went to a CCs today.
That's what's got me thinking about it. Now with CCs good, CCs been hit or miss nowadays. I was all right. It was all right. I definitely think it aired more on the miss side than the hit side. That makes sense. And this is this is going off to the side just for another second here. I wonder though, you know, is it just that we've gotten older and actually eating good food or is it just like as CCs falling off because I go there and I'm going, you know, this used to be such a magical place.
And now not so much. I mean, they have revamped their game room, but at the same token, it's all you can eat buffet with a drink for 12 bucks. So I mean, you know, it's like it's about the same price is going and getting a burger somewhere. So I don't know. And you get to blow it up on the pizza anyways. So all right. So yeah, the buffet. So would you like to start it? Sure. I'll start a piece of chicken over there would fit nicely on my plate. But looky looky.
It's burnt because it's been sitting out too long. Could you actually pass me that that roll over there? Don't ask me to pass the roll. You got arms. Don't you? Even though I do have arms. It would be nice if you pass me the roll. Oh, well, forgive me. I'll pass them since you asked me so politely. Go over to the dessert bar and see if they have any brownies. Heck no. You asked me first to pass rolls over. Now you're asking me to go to the buffet. I just want some brownies.
Is that too much to ask? Just just go over there yourself. Kill you is what I'll do after I get this brownie. Let's take this outside then. May we go outside right now because I sure would like to. No, I'm still trying to eat. Open the door and get your fat. Get your fat tokens out the door so we can fight because this is really bothering. Please. I'm trying to eat my fried okra right now. Quit dancing around the subject. Right. Fine. We'll go outside.
Shut your freaking mouth and just do it already. Touch me, will you? How about I smack you in the face? Unfortunately, you are going to lose because I'm a master in kung fu. Very well. I tell you this much. If I lose, I'm going down swinging. Wait, they're just putting out the meatloaf. Xylophones? Is that xylophones on here? You always use xylophones when it comes to X. Fine. Well. I think your next one is Z. You're right. Zoolander is a movie that I'm not really a big fan of.
Wow. That one took a whole different turn. I love how we go into the buffet and it just turns into a fight. I feel like that's how it always goes. It's like, we'll find about something. Someone's getting sued. Someone's going to jail. Maybe there's some pent up aggression that just needs, I don't know. You see, it's just like Michael Scott when he's doing improv. The character's always got to have a gun to make it interesting. We always have to have conflict to make it interesting. That is true.
Every good story has conflict. If you don't have a story that has conflict, then you just got a boring show. Just like Steve and Angela. All right. So let's. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So you ready to move to our next segment, which is our eclair. Yeah. I think it's your turn to go first. I don't remember. All right. So eclair, which is our positive advice. And my advice, do the darn thing right the first time. I don't know how many times I've done this and let me save you some time.
You may think I'm going to cut corners and I'm talking about little things, big things, whatever in life, right? You sit here and go, you know what? I'm going to cut corners. I can get to from point A to point B faster if I just cut corners and now do it right the first time or else you'll have to redo the entire thing. And it's going to be a lot more work on the back end. If you have to do it over again, it's going to be twice, three times the work.
Just saying for personal experience, there's been plenty of times where I think, oh, I don't, I can, I don't have to go and do the whole entire thing. It'll work if I just put 85% into this. Now it'll end up screwing you up. I promise. Good stuff, man. I had to learn that one the hard way for sure. Everybody's got to learn that lesson. Mine is, is perception is, is everything man. Like, yeah.
And so when you're out in the public setting or when you're at work or something, even though you may not mean for something to come across bad, sometimes it can. Some people can perceive that, you know, there, there were a story. Someone told me that they have witnessed these people like fighting these coworkers fighting and everything. And they were like, Oh man, like this is probably an argument that they should have had behind closed doors.
Now, those people may have, may have been kidding around with each other, right? But that person took it as, Oh, this person is like really fine. They really got beat. So just how you present yourself and people's perception of you is the real thing. Now you don't want to get so caught up in that, that you are just trying to please everybody. But you know, carry yourself with pride and everything that you do. Kind of like what Michael was saying, do things right the first time.
And when you do, people perceive you as being a person that can do things right and someone that could be trusted. So yeah, that's a big thing, man. Well, like we said at the beginning, go check out Church Rescue. It's on YouTube under TrashcanTV. You can type in Church Rescue on YouTube and it'll pop up or you can go to our website. Tell us where, tell them where they can find it. TVTrashcan.com. That's TVTrashcan.com. It'll be on the main page there, so it'll be right there on the front.
And even if you want to go to our original works and see some of our other stuff that we've had posted, go ahead and feel free to do that. Of course, we'll have some other stuff coming up as well. But yeah, part one drop today. So go check it out. And super, super excited. I almost used the word that I think is 15 years removed. I almost said we're super stoked for it. Yeah. I was thinking the same thing. I got to be honest with you, man. We put a lot of work into it.
This is an idea that we've had for, I would say, at least 10 plus years. And so to animate it and to kind of make it, you know, our own, we put a lot of work into it. And so, you know, it's a play on the show Bar Rescue, but like with churches. And so, I mean, I think it's great. We will have a preface on the video, but preface is we're not trying to make fun of any, we're not trying to make fun of Jesus, no church was affiliated with this. It's just something that we did and we're proud of it.
So go check it out. What else you got? Oh, man, I think that's it for the most part. We appreciate you for wherever you're listening from. And whatever you're doing on this Monday morning or whenever you're listening to this thing, we really appreciate you guys. So go check out our stuff. And man, I think we're good to take this donut box out to the trash and sign off until next week. All right. Well, I'm Chris and I'm Michael and this is the donut box. Yeah. Thank you.
