The podcast explores seven foods more addictive than alcohol, emphasizing their chemical and biological impact on the brain. These include Coca-Cola, French fries, instant noodles, Oreos, salted chips (like Lays or Hers), cheese, and certain sandwich toppings. Each food contains substances—such as sugar, MSG, salt, and fat—that trigger dopamine release, mimicking the effects of drugs like cocaine. For instance, Oreos are shown to be preferred by lab rats over cocaine, while cheese contains casomorphins that bind to morphine receptors. Instant noodles and McDonald’s fries use industrial ingredients and complex formulations to create addictive flavors, with some containing 19 ingredients and chemicals linked to health risks. The discussion underscores how food science engineers "bliss points" in taste, making users crave more. Despite claims of health benefits, the evidence suggests that these foods are designed to be highly addictive. The conversation also touches on broader themes of consumerism, brand influence, and the psychological dependence on processed foods, concluding that modern food is as much a product of science as it is of taste.
- Can you name the seven foods more addicted than alcohol? - I can try my best. - Go for it. - Can I get chips? - You can get a certain type of chips. - Salted chips. - Salted vinegar chips. - A certain type of brand of chips. - Hers. - Lays. - I don't know why you keep bringing up hers. - You know, they followed my personal look and I saw that. - No. - Yeah, they followed my personal look. - I don't even know what I've never had hers. - I do, I'm no answer. - The only reasons act orders hers is because it's part of the $6 meal at Wawa. It's like a sandwich, a drink, and any type of hers chips. - Nah, that's not true. - I've never done that. - What? - You're just lying. - No, I do the hokey fest, but I've done the chips once with you. - You're just long pointed that out to me. I didn't even know that was a thing. - Yeah, so you just lied to the people. - Yeah, but you said because that's why I chose them. - No. - Okay, why are you getting so hostile? - I'm not getting hostile. - I'm getting hostile. - I'm trying to point out the podcast. - Just be real with it. - Can we get the retos? - Yes, it's the retos. - So Frio lay hired chemist to engineer the exact bliss point of salt, fat and MSG. - MSG is not good for you. - I'm not really sure what that is. It's not Madison Square Garden. - No. - The flavor coating disappears fast from your tongue so your brain never signals when it's enough. - Okay, and that's for all Dorito chips. - For all Doritos, so it's basically like, it lays on your tongue and when it gets off, you don't realize it's gone. - Okay, there's seven total. - There's seven total. - Can I get like a dessert chocolate chip cookies? Ice cream. - You can get a type of cookie. - A type of cookie. - Oh man. - I'll get a raisin now. - A brand of cookie. - Oreo cookies. A 2013 Connecticut college study found that lab rats preferred Oreos to cocaine. So they experimented this on rats. So I'm assuming that they put rats in a cage and put a thing of cocaine in there and a thing of Oreos and the rats tended to go to the Oreo side. - I mean, they are dicting. Once you have one, you can't stop. Apparently more dicting than cocaine. - Ah, so I'm assuming there are other brands on here. You see brand oriented? - Yeah, there's some brands and there's some regular food. - Okay, there's no like meat, like chicken steak, nothing like that, not meats, no. What about like no sauces? - I would think of like one of the biggest brands in the world for drinks. Can I get Coca-Cola? - Coca-Cola is on the list as well, more addictive than alcohol. So a single can contains 39 grams of sugar, plus caffeine and phosphoric acid. - Phosphoric acid, big word. - It sounds horrible for you. The exact combination overrides your natural taste rejection and it creates cravings within 20 minutes of drinking. So after 20 minutes after drinking, you want more Coca-Cola. - I feel like that's all soda, doesn't it like dehydrate you and you just want more of it? - Apparently, but apparently they don't have 39 grams of sugar, caffeine, and phosphoric acid. I got one that's good for you. - Not Coke Zero. - Coffee. - Coffee's not that addicting apparently. - Oh, I feel like the caffeine. - Apparently it's not more addictive than alcohol. - Okay, that's fair. I had another one on my mind. What was it? - Fries, french fries. - Yes, McDonald's french fries specifically. So they contain 19 different ingredients, including bear with me here. Dymethylapolysiloxane. - Yeah. That's from, I'm familiar with that one. - And bear with me again. Tertiary butyl hydroquinone. - Yeah, that's a big word, Brian. - Both are used in industrial products. It makes them almost impossible to recreate at home. So it's basically you can't recreate the taste. - Interesting. And America has 19 ingredients. Doesn't Europe have like three? - Yeah, apparently. - It's supposed to be salt, potato, and one more ingredient of french fries. It might just be salt and potatoes. - It might be. What's, you said number, I got four so far? - You got four so far, you need three more. - I'll take it, so no more desserts. I'm leaning back to brands. - You give over one more brand. - One more brand, typically known as like an Asian brand. - Asian brand? - It comes in a cup, comes in a cup of noodles. - Yeah, so instant noodles. They contain palm oil, MSG, and a full day of sodium and a single serving. - I think MSG is like sodium. - Oh, I think it stands for sodium something. Two servings a week are linked to obesity and heart disease. - Yeah, that's not good. College people eating a lot of it. - Apparently very unhealthy for you, but also very addicting for you. - I think it's stupid cheap, that's why. - MSG stands for monosodium glutamate. - There you go. - It's pretty good pull from Zach. - Yeah, great pull. - There's two more, they're not brand-oriented. They're kind of like ingredients in foods. - Okay. - Can I get not like flour, baking soda? - I think that's something bad for you. - Bad for you. - That's addictive. - We said sodium caffeine sugar. - Sugar triggers the same dopamine pathways as cocaine and nicotine. Modern brand scans show identical activity between a sugar binge and a hard drug rush. - It's a drug, it is. - You can get addicted. You could be severely addicted, and you need to stop. - It's, what are you doing with a PSA? - I know. - Oh, geez. - I was trying to get the point across, but I was just trying to-- - Just be normal, Zach. - I am, you're giving PSAs to the people. - You're being normal. - You need to stop. - No, it's extremely addictive. - You need to stop. - If I were being funny to you, that's what I would say to you. I would say it in that tone. - No. - Is that wrong? - No, it's me. - Is it me? - So I am as a person, if you don't like it, I'm sorry. - Okay. - Calm down. - Jesus Christ. This guy had too much sugar in the sport. - I had caffeine, I had a cup of coffee. - There you go, don't make sense. And then the last one, you want to take a guess at it. It's type of like a topping for a sandwich or something. Type of ingredient, topping sandwich vinegar, that's addicting, oil, that's addicting. - Think about addictive foods. - Manage. - Nobody's addicted to manage. (laughs) - Nobody. - You're saying a topping on a sandwich, sesame seeds? - Like an ingredient in a sandwich that is addicting. - Like a cold cut sandwich. - Sure. - Oh, is it bacon? - It's not bacon. - That's a better guess than manage. - No, I didn't know. - Is it liquid? - What are most people? What's most people's like, people love this food? - Peanut butter and jelly. - What? - That's a type of sandwich. - That wouldn't go on cold cut. - It's cheese. - Cheese. - Cheese contains casing, which breaks down into cassimorphins during digestion. These bind to the same brain receptors as morphine. - That's a drug. And now he has nothing to say. - Oh, well it's easy done. - Two tears of me. There's the one that's overly confident talking. I'm just gonna spew nonsense. And then you get the tear that's like, I'm just gonna say things very quietly and very quickly. - Okay. - Too much coffee. - Good stuff. - I'm drinking a coffee. - Dunkin' Dots. - It hits. - I know, it's strong. - Crack. How long ago did you have it? - Man, ace. (laughing) - Not too long ago. - Okay. - That makes sense. - That makes sense. - It makes sense. - It always freak it out. - I'm not freaking out. I'm just being myself. I'm normal. (laughing) - You're like a normal SpongeBob. - You literally are. - I don't know. - I don't know. - Just be yourself man. - I am being myself. So I don't know what you want for me. This is the person I've turned into. And again, if that's not good enough, then that's fine. - Like that? - That was like, that was weird. - I feel like I'm trying to take a deep breath. - It's the way you're freezing. - I'm feeling pretty gasslet right now. - We're not gassleting you. - Feel like you're gassleting me. - Okay. - Is this a bit that you guys put together? - No. - We really haven't talked in two days. - I'm just being myself. - Welcome back to the podcast, where we're totally ourselves all the time. (laughing) - Hey, and ace. - Man, ace. - Yeah, what pod is this to? - To 16. - To 16. We're back. - We're back. - We're back. I update to the people. I just get back from Vegas. Shout out to something inked. I wanna give them a shout out. It's a big merchandise company. How was that, by the way? - It was good. I didn't, do you want me to be honest? - Be honest. - I didn't see the 100% point why they invited us. - Okay. - But I'm happy they did. One, because it was a free fun trip. Two, because we made a lot of connections. And basically, we know almost probably 50% of the professional sports team across America. We know they're brand people now. - Oh, really? - Yes. Shout out to the people at the Cavs, the Niners, and all that. People at the Cavs were like, whenever you guys wanna come to Cleveland, we're gonna host you. If you guys wanna come, bring you to a game, bring you to like the Indiana Freever, the Colts, all then. - Are we really gonna go to Cleveland? - You wanna go to Cleveland? - If we go to the stadium, yes. - I would like to see it. I feel like everything else in Cleveland sucks. - Oh, God. - Sorry. - See, that's the normal snack. - So Ron said that. - Yeah, no, Ron said that. - I would like to go to a game. But it's like the people at the Niners, like all these people. And, I wanna give, I didn't tell you this, but we went to the trade show. And obviously there was like the T-shirts. It was a merchandise trade show. So they were trying to sell you the T-shirts and like best quality. And like we print this and make this. There was one stand that stood out that I think that we should do. It's a minimum 25 item order. So it's small. - Okay. - And what is that? - Putter head covers. You can customize them. - They were cool. - Wow. - And they're stitched. - They're very high quality. You can customize the outside and the inside. You can do either a mallet or a blade. And they had driver covers and all that. I think that we should do putter covers. - Putter covers? - Nah, you said drivers. - Or drivers. - Or drivers. - Because putters, you gotta pick one. - Yeah, right? It's gotta be like one side, maybe driver or a wood cover. But I think if we did a makeshift golf driver head cover, like a limited drop for like 25 of them. - Be sick. - I think we'd sell out. - I think we would. - I think it would do it. - I think it would be cool at the bare minimum for us to have. - I think it defines it. Do they design it? Because I feel like I can't go up with it. - I think they go up with it. - Back and forth. - Okay. - Well, I think that something inked helps with the designs. They're like the middle man and then they make the product. That company makes the product. - That's sick. You had an adventure in the casino. - I did. - Yeah. - I wasn't there finally for once and Brian won money. - Finally, you're the problem. - That's what I said. - I mean, you know what I said. - I've never won with Brian either. And I don't think you've won with me gambling. - I just haven't won in general. - No, I've never won. - I've never won with me together. And this was the first time. I mean, I lost, but it felt like I wasn't there. - Yeah, but it didn't lose that much. - Yeah, I was down. - I was down. - A lot. - Yeah. - So I went down $2,500 the first day, the first night. I woke up and I was like, I don't want to gamble anymore. But then we were like, we got there Tuesday. We left Saturday. - Yeah, it was a long time. - It was a long time. - You had a long time. Friday, we didn't really do much. We just went out to dinner and I went to bed. - Yeah. - But the other nights we were out and we were gambling. So I took $200 out and I turned that $200.
into like a thousand on bubble craps. - Mm-hmm. - Home craps is my name. - Same strategy, or did you change up? - Same strategy. - Okay. - No, that strategy cooks. - Okay, cooks. - 'Cause you can't roast somebody pat. - Yeah. - But if you have a bankroll, you'll win money. - Yeah. - So I turned into like the first night, what is that? - Bankroll. - No, yeah, you need money with that word. - I've never heard it referred to us that. - The gamblers use that. - I'm just not hip, I'm sorry. - Yeah, I forgot what I was saying. - No, if you don't have it. - It's like $1200, the first night I went, I was down $2,500. The next night when I went to sleep, I was up $2,200. The next night, I think I was up, I said 7,000, I think I miscounted and it might have been like six. - Okay. - And then I left up like four grand. - Yeah, hell yeah. - So we're good. - I feel like that, the energy and the casino. - Yeah. - When you were winning. - No, no, no, no, no. - The crafts at Caesars, the highlight of the trip was then, he left the club. I think it was Thursday night. - We left the club with a few guys. We left the club with Hung from Good Good and a couple other guys and us. We went to the bar, we all got a drink together. You know the main room at that Caesars, like that circle room? - Yeah. - There's craps tables that line it, there's like three. There was one that was empty. - Ooh, so you all went on the table and then. - Oh, hell yeah. - No, but we were rolling first, yeah. - We were like the main table and it was the main table. - It was sick. - The jar of get hot? - He had like two numbers, but had long rolls. He won everybody, like probably like 500 bucks. - Those rolls were like, they were like seven minutes. - Yeah, they were long rolls. - It was electric. - If there's anyone to trust in this group, I feel like it's jar of rolls. - It was so fun. - It was good. And then, so everyone gave me their money because they didn't know how to play like Hung and his friend and another guy. So I was working with like $1,200 in chips and I was just betting for four people. So I had a lot of money out there. But I ended up winning everybody $300. - Nice. - That was great. - It was great. - So it was a good trip. Plus it made some good connections. So I'm excited to, I got to text a lot of people after this. - I looked, do I look tan? I went to the shore. That's it. - That was my up there. - You looked tan. - I tried. - You ever think we coming up? - Yeah, I'm going to Albania, brand them. - Yeah, it is. So I told Senali that you said the world traveler comment on how it's like, I am going to India. - That's a world traveler. And we're going to potentially go to Colombia at some point or down to like Mexico City might be a place. - Okay. - So hey, we get around there. So I feel like you go back, you rotate. That was her defense. - No, you're, yeah, you're getting there. - Yeah, I think that the, I was just saying that the trips that you guys have went on already. - Yeah. - Because it's all in Europe. - Yeah, yeah. - I'm just saying if you go to Europe and that's it, you're not a world traveler. - Completely. - I'm not pointing that at you. I'm just saying that to the general public. - So now I feel like you're getting defensive over yourself. I'm not attacking you. I'm not getting defensive at all. - I know. See, I'm gaslighting you. - All right. - See, that was just me. - You actually get defensive. - No, I, okay. That's fine. It was about to get defensive. - Yeah, but I stopped. Okay, let's move on. First topic, first topic. I saw this on Instagram. People loved it. And I decided to turn it into a different topic. Tom Holland Spider-Man, brand new day came out. Big movie, right? - Yes, I'm excited to see it. - How much money has Tom Holland made in his acting career? - Probably a lot. - Okay, I have a bunch of movies. We're going to go through this quick. You're going to guess the first few. I'm going to tell you the rest, okay? - Yes. - His first movie was The Impossible in 2012. - Okay, I'm assuming he didn't get paid a ton. - How much money do you think he made? - 20 grand. - A little more than that. - 50. - $100,000 in that movie. - That's pretty good for 2012. - You just cursed. - I feel like that's pretty good for 2012. - I thought you said the F, the F word. - He didn't. - Okay, just making sure. - How I live now in 2013, how much do you think he made? - I'm assuming close to that. So I'm going to say 150, maybe 200. - $150,000 in the heart of the sea. - In 2015. - I've never heard of these movies, but I'm going to say 200,000. - $200,000 right in the spot. - He was so young in these movies. - Yes. - You were back and you don't realize how long these people have been grinding for. - No, I know. I've seen him in a movie about a tsunami and he was a baby. - Yeah. - I forget what it's called. - Captain America Civil War in 2016, his first Marvel film. - I'm going to say that this is a big jump. I'm going to say it's near a million dollars. - It's not $250,000. - Okay, interesting. - Spider-Man Homecoming in 2017. This has to be the first jump. - Okay, this is the first jump. - A million. - A little bit higher? - 1.5. - 1.5 million dollars. One more guess and then I'll read you them. Avengers Infinity War in 2018. - I'm going to say $2 million. - Let's double the last movie. $3 million. - What's this guy cook? - Avengers Endgame 2019 $3 million. Spider-Man far from home 2019 $4 million. The devil all the time, $5 million in 2020. That's ridiculous. He's stacking the checks up. 2021, he had cherry $5 million. Chaos walking in 2021 $5 million. Spider-Man no way home 2021. - A lot of money. - $10 million for that. - I haven't heard of like half these movies. - Have you seen the crowded room? It's like a TV show he's in? - No, but I know what he looks like. He doesn't look like Tom Holland and he looks, he has like a different hair. - He's got a long haircut, it's kind of weird. - I heard it was okay. - He made $400,000 per episode for 10 episodes, $4 million in 2023. - He's cooking. - How much did he make in the Odyssey? $2,26. - I think he made, I wanna say like $7 million. - I think he made $10 million, unconfirmed but pretty close. And then Spider-Man, brand new day, the latest Spider-Man in 2026. - Didn't he make like $25 or $30? - He made $30 million. - His biggest payday by far. - So Tom Holland went for making $100,000 in 2012. - Yeah. - And now he's making $30 million just for one movie. What does that all add up to? - Oh, I did not keep track of all the numbers. I'm gonna say that he's made like close to a, not a hundred million. - A little less. - Like $70 million. - He's made $81.2 million in his career. - That's a lot of money for, what is that 14 years of making films? - He made like three eighths of his earnings as an actor in Spider-Man brand new day. That makes a lot of sense. - I feel like his paychecks need to be studied. - I think that it makes sense for actors. Like I feel like if you look at Leonardo DiCaprio's like lifestyle or if you look at Leo's career, it's probably pretty similar. - I just think like he started in the Titanic. I have no idea how much he made for that. Ant, you wanna look that up? How much did Leo make for the Titanic? Probably similar. No, he didn't start in the Titanic. He was doing stuff before that. - He probably was, but that was one of his first like actual roles where he came in and people paid his time. - Estimated $40 to $50 million. - No. - There's no way. - That can't be right. - Leonardo DiCaprio earned an estimated $40 to $50 million. - But how much was he paid to act for the role? 'Cause he might have made that like, you know. - Oh, this is why. His base salary was $2.5 million cash upfront. - That wasn't a six minute cut. - That was 1.8% of total gross. - So he had a cut of the movie, wasn't he? - But this makes sense because that's a similar thing to his first movie. His first movie was in 1991. Titanic, I think, came out in 1997 when we were born. - Okay. - That's the only reason I know that. 1991, he earned $9,000. - Yeah. - For his first movie ever. - So like six years later, made what, three and a half? You said two and a half million? - Yeah, 2.5 million. - Exactly, see? - Those gross income deals told me who Guyer did that for the Spider-Man trilogy? He made like $130 million. - It's like Jordan money negotiated his deal for shoes. - That's like, Mccoli Culkin. - Yeah. - And Mariah Carey. - For Home Alone. - He makes money like every Christmas. I think he makes like $10 million every Christmas season. Bed on yourself. - Bed on the movie. - Bed on the movie. - And bed on yourself. - It is, I do have such a respect, especially since we produced our own show. - We didn't produce it, but we were stark. We have our own show coming out. - Is that the spoiler alert? - I said this during the live show, but we didn't formally announce it. - Yeah, nobody saw that. - It's gonna be on Amazon Prime, Roku. It's very exciting. Sports and nostalgia. - Yeah. - But I do have a respect for the production process. People make these movies. You have no idea if they're gonna be good until it's actually made. - You're not wrong. - You're not wrong. - They film it all and you just expect things to be perfect as a fan. - I agree. - But then you look at it after and you're like, this was iconic. Like the Odyssey, you know how much effort? - A lot of effort. I mean, went over in the last pocket. - I feel like you just breezed by our huge announcement. - Yeah. I thought we announced it before. - Yeah, but it to the public. - I thought we announced it on that. - No, we didn't. - Yeah, no. - Should we announce it? - The first thing was at the live show. - I didn't realize that. - Yeah. - Do you want to announce it? - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yes. - We have a show coming out on a streaming service. - We have a real live show. So it's like ESPN and your basement. It's airing on Amazon Prime, Roku, and other streaming platforms. I forget what it's called. - It's basically like this, except more sports base. And we have a big guest every single podcast. And it's more produced. So we have more cameras. We get up there. We have like wheels. We have props. It's basically like part of my take. - Wheels like cameras on wheels. - Like spinning wheels. - Oh, okay. I was like spinning wheels. - You were there when we made the show. - Yes, I was. - We had wheels behind us. - And I'm bald the entire show. - Yes. - They didn't let us wear hats. And we wear blazers. - I think if I asked I could have worn a hat, but I went bald. - No, it's probably better. - Yeah. - Better for the views. - Also I had the timeline going more so. - Yeah. - I'm wondering if that's, - Back on. - Okay, sorry. - But that's the big announcement. - Yeah, I'm sorry. - Are you cheating on our friends? - What is, oh. - What is this? - Oh, sorry. - Don't worry, I'm not cheating. - I would never. - I'm wearing both. - You're just dialed in. Travis Matthew. - Travis Matthew. - Yeah, so we have a show airing on a. Mainly, I feel like the easiest place to find it is Amazon Prime because almost everybody has Prime. - Yeah. - So I don't know when it's coming out yet, but when it gets announced, we'll announce it. And it's called, don't say it. - Don't say it. Don't say it yet. - Okay, we'll reveal that later. - It's called Total Replay. - How are you doing, Anthony? - I'm good. - People want Anthony to have a camera. - I know, I should. - There's comments on the podcast. - I think that he should have, I think that he should have that area. - Yeah. - I didn't realize how expensive cameras and lenses are. - What? - No, I mean, we bought these ones, but the Sony A7 4 now. - Yeah. - How much do you think it is? - 2,500, yeah.
- And then how much a lens? - A lot. - Like, I think 17, 17 millimeter to 70 or something like that. - Why are you asking me? - 17 millimeter what? - To what? - I think it's like 17 to 70 millimeter, that's pretty good. - Yeah, well, it's a little wider than this one, so it gives us more zoom, but it gives us the flexibility, you know? I think it's 28 to seven. - I also said you guys could just use another camera just to have it. - No, yeah, absolutely. - I mean, it's worth the investment. - So buy it. - It's like four grand, like total five grand. - That's crazy. - I think that the, maybe it's one. - This is like, you guys are like in the meeting with us. This is our meeting. - Yeah, he just won a camera. - Yeah, I'm not buying the camera. You won half the camera. - Yeah, true. I think that tonight if we stay over, maybe we clear that out and stuff. - Yeah, let's do it. - You could put up some posters there and, if you want. - Yeah, I'll go a little back trolling. - Yeah, sure. - All right, let's get to the next topic. I feel like we're sidetracked, but I love it. It's a good conversation. (laughing) - There he is. - He's back, he's back. - He's back. - He's back. - Never left. - Robot tech. You were talking about Tom Holland. I want to talk about Captain America. - Okay. - It makes sense. This is how powerful Captain America really is. - I tear it. - Now, tell me if any of these makes sense to you. - Okay, probably won't. He survived a direct blast from the Infinity Gauntlet. - Okay, that's Thanos' glove. - Yes, the Infinity Gauntlet. It's all, I think it's how many Infinity Gauntlets? - Six stones? - That was a guess, wasn't it? - No, it's six. - No, it's six. - It's just one, two, three, four, five, and there's one in the middle right, six. Six stones, nice job, Jack. I can't believe they let Thanos get all the stones. - He-- - What? - He physically stopped Thanos for a moment with sheer strength and will. - How do you do that? - With the shield? - With sheer strength and will. - Okay, but what was it? - His muscles or was it the shield, combination? - I've never seen an Avenger. - Well, a lot of these are with-- - Never, he's never seen superhero movies, besides Spider-Man. - And The Dark Knight. - That does not really count. - I feel like it should count. - He's a vigilante. - Yes. - Okay. - Plus that's DC. - Okay. - It's not really superhero. - I'm just wondering. - Hot Time movie of all time. - No. - Not, not, not 10 Superhero movie though. Not really a superhero. - He said of all time, any movie. - It is. - No. - Yes it is. - I hate when people say that. - It is. He is leaped across skyscraper-sized gaps. - Not actually, but in the movies. - Well, I think that they're referring to the comics. - Okay, okay. - Because the true, like, characters come from the comics and the movies are like remakes where they make them like more appealing to the visual eye. - I feel like Spider-Man does that on the daily. Am I wrong? - Sure, yeah, he is webs, but yes. He survived being thrown into a molten shield energy core. - I totally know what that is. - I don't really know what that is either. - Is that part of the under, no, nevermind. - I haven't seen a Captain America movie. - Really? - I don't feel like you're missing out. Is that crazy? - You don't know though, you don't know. - I don't know either. - Yeah, I feel like I'm missing out. - He's the only one that moved Thor's hammer. - That was that was gonna be my next one. - Oh, sorry. - It moved worthy and willed, meal will near. - What is that? - Thor's hammer. - Okay. - So nobody else can pick up Thor's hammer. This is actually in the movie. - Wait, have you seen the actual ones where people try and pick them up? Like they actually have a Thor's hammer. - Oh yes. - Oh yeah, I think that's that. - How much does that cost? Let's buy one. - Probably a lot. - Forget a camera. Let's just buy a Thor's hammer. It's called meal will near. - Meal will near? - We could try it out. This was in the movie when everybody else tried to pick it up like Iron Man whole Green Lantern, everybody. Not Green Lantern. - Green Lantern. - I meant to say, Dr. Strange. I don't know why I get them confused sometimes. And then Captain America picks it up. - Okay. - Zack's like, you know so much about Superheroes. - I just, I just, I know about Superheroes. - You could have asked me who picked up Thor's hammer. I wouldn't be able to tell you the superhero. That's how little I know. - So why'd you laugh at Green Lantern? - I just, he was laughing. - Yeah, so you didn't laugh at it. - You were a follower now. - You were a follower, you're not a leader. - Okay. - Why have I ever been a leader? (both laughing) - He can run a mile in 73 seconds, nearly 50 miles per hour. - How fast does the flash run? - That's a great question. - When we look at it, when we look at it. - What does he do? - It's easy, sorry, different thing. - It is, but it makes sense. Like it's all relative. Like you can look at faster run. - So 50 miles per hour, that's like a, it's slower than a Jaguar, but faster than a human. - Way faster than a human. (both laughing) - It's like a highway speed. - It doesn't tire you killed. - The flash runs 13 trillion times the speed of light of that 1.75 quintillion miles per hour. - Yeah, so fast. - You can, but cats in America run 50 miles per hour and that's not as main superpower. - An ostrich, that's like an ostrich speed. - Sure. - Yeah. - Now, he fought the ultimate Hulk one-on-one and lived, which not many people do that. - They fight each other? - I thought they were heroes together. - I think this is in the comics, so I don't really know where all of these fall. - I'm sure they'd have their disputes. - And then the last one, which might happen in the next movie, he de-powered Dr. Doom, ripped off his mask and beat him down. - I feel like that's a spoiler. I feel like that's gotta happen. - It happened, so technically all of the movies are spoiled if the comics kept 100% to the comic books. - But they don't. - But they don't. - They change a few things. - That's what I'm saying. Some of these haven't happened and some of these have, but in different aspects. So that happened in the comics. Apparently he beat Dr. Doom, but who knows if it's gonna happen in the movie? - I wanna know who's keeping track of all this. It's like they have like so many universes and places and different like there's like different realms and stuff, and they keep track of it all. - It's ex-trying here. - No, no, I'm drunk. 'Cause well, I have a topic that's gonna explain a little bit of that. - You're right. I mean, it makes sense. I'm sure if I had to guess they have like a whole area. It's probably just the writers that keep track of what they're writing. - Dude, we can't even keep track of what videos we're posting. Sometimes we double posts and these people are like, it's, well, they have thousands and thousands of employees. - Yeah, and we're like, - They have, it's Marvel. It's the biggest entertainment-- - We're like this three people plus a bunch of part-time people. - Yeah. - It's the biggest, we're comparing ourselves to the biggest entertainment business on the planet. - I just feel like they have to have it mapped out. Do you think they have like a presentation or like a deck that like ties it all together? - I wouldn't be shocked if they had like a humongous wall in their headquarters that like just like the spiderweb. Like that kind of like that. What we were, our plan was for that. - Yeah. - But like every single, how everything connects. - Across the four Avengers movie, movies, they've made $7.7 billion. - Yeah. - So it makes sense. - I think they're paying someone to keep track. - Yeah, I would say I have enough money. - Yeah. - If we were making anywhere near that, we would have some more employees. - A perfect transition to our next topic. And I ruined it by saying that we have a transition. Sorry. - There'll be six universes in Avengers Doomsday. Can you name them? - Six universes. Okay, I think I could try. - Okay, now some of these have very specific names. So if you give me the movie that they're from, I can tell you if they're in. - Okay, the first one I think X-Men is in it. - The X-Men universe is, that's Earth 1-0-0-0-5. - Yeah, I would have never got that. - So that includes Wolverine, Magneto, it's Magneto. - Magneto, who's the Professor X? - I'm just gonna let you keep going. - The blue lady, what's her name? Mystico? - Mystique. - Mystique? - Yes. - There you go. - So that includes all those people. - So that's one of the universe. - Does the Avengers count as one? - The Avengers does count. So the MCU is based on Earth 616. - Okay. - Do you know the first movie that the MCU kicked off on? - The Iron Man? - It was Iron Man, Brian. - That makes sense. - No surprises here, Captain America, Thor, Hulk. - Keep going, man. - Iron Man, Spider Man. - Keep going, yeah. - Keep going. - No, I can't. - Doctor Strange. - Doctor Strange. - Yeah. - Can I get another one? Can I go, I don't know if they're in this movie, but Guardians of the Galaxy? - They are not listening to be in Doomsday. - That sucks. - Yes, I know. - That's a very cool. - That's a missed opportunity right there. I know what, fantastic four. - The fantastic four universe located on Earth 828. - See, I don't understand these little decimals after Earth. - But that's what I'm saying. How do they keep track of this? They have all these different random numbers of universe. - There's thousands of people that can keep track of this. I'm sure you can memorize this in five minutes. - I probably can. - Yeah, come on. - So the fantastic four universe, invisible woman, stretchy guy, Mr. Fantastic. (laughing) - That you guys. - So what's the rock, the rock boulder guy's name? - The thing. - The thing? - Were you gonna say you don't know what that is? - Flame on! - And that guy. - Human Torch. - Human Torch. - Sure you guys are. - Okay, you got three of the six. - And Mr. Fantastic's son who apparently is the most powerful, right? - The most powerful and then like the entire universe. - What's his name? - That's fine, forget it's fine. It's like a normal name though. There's one that I'm very excited for. - Can I guess one? - Yes. - Thunderbolts. - I don't think that's a universe. I think that's like a group of like heroes. - They're in the movie. But I don't know what universe I don't think it's like dedicated. - We'll come back to that. - There's a movie from when we were kids. It's my favorite. - It's a trilogy. - It's your favorite movie? - Yes. - Not Spider-Man. - Spider-Man. - Toby McGuire's Spider-Man universe. Earth 92683. - I didn't know if that counted as Avengers, but I guess not. - Does this mean Doc Ock is gonna be in it? Does this mean Toby McGuire is gonna be in it? Green Goblin? - I highly doubt that Doc Ock and Green Goblin are gonna be in it. - Well the universe is gonna be in it, so probably Toby McGuire. - Yeah, probably Toby McGuire. It's probably eating now. - Yeah. - They were in the last Spider-Man. - The year old Green Goblin. - Don't they use like CGI or whatever. - You need two more. Well, one is the Thunderbolts. I don't know what the universe is called. - There's one that might be in the title of the movie. - Dr. Doom. - Dr. Doom's universe. In the comics, it's Earth 616, which is the Avengers universe. - Dr. Doom thinks about it. - In the movies, he exists in Earth's 828, which is the MCU. So I don't know what universe is gonna be a part of, but Dr. Doom's original universe will be a part of the movie, obviously. - Okay. - You need one more, not Dr. Doom's smarts. - Now, not Dr. Doom's smarts. That was a good impression by the way I heard it, don't worry. - Dr. Doom's smarts evil and corporate it. - I have one on my pants, pocket. And if I were to cover it, I'd be what? - I'd be wedding it. - You give horrible references. - Here's my pocket, see it? - Oh, covering it. - Yeah, what is it? - Cover it? - If I cover it, then what is it? [BLANK_AUDIO]
(laughing) - Hidden. - Hidden universe. There's a hidden pocket universe. - That's a horrible. - We don't know which one it is. - How would you give a hint for that? - Like blank and seek. - High and seek. - What do you use? - That's nice. - What do you use? - Very good. - It could be the Quarzen route. - Here's my pocket. - It's time to close my pocket. - What is it? - It could be the dark dimension, which is ruled by Dumammu. I don't know if that's right. The mirror dimension, which is doctor, the mirror dimension, which is doctor strange, the astral realm, which is accessible through meditation, or Talo. I don't know where that's from. - But it could be any of these hidden pocket universes. - I guess doctor strange isn't the Avengers universe. That makes sense. I was wrong there. - It's, yeah, I think it's separate, but he does exist in it, doesn't he? - Yeah. - He's in an Avengers movie. - 'Cause he's like died in movies and then he comes back. No, that's Professor Axe. Sorry. My fault. (laughing) - Corporate's ag. - Kill him on the body. - All right. (laughing) - Oh, man, are you gonna watch this movie? - No, you can't, right? - I do think, well, I probably can't, but I do think out of all of them, I feel like this one's the most intriguing to me. - What? - Secret Wars, Infinity War. - Who really cares, Doomsday? It just seems like it's built up all to this moment that this one-- - I think this movie has the worst characters. - Really? - By far. - Why? - Who's not in it? - A lot of people are not in it. - Doctor Strange isn't it? - There's a lot of people that aren't in it. - Zach. - Cumberbatch. - If you watched the Doctor Strange movie, I was so against it, it is such a sick movie. - Sick? I wonder if he's actually a good superhero? - He's sick. - I went to the premiere of the first Doctor Strange movie with John Zadock and Steve Catania at Rutgers, sick movie. - Okay, I got it. - You had to get it up. - No, don't, I don't, from an outsider perspective, I get why you doubt him. Better than Cumberbatch doesn't seem like that great of a superhero character. - But he plays him well. - He's such a cool superhero. - Okay. - He's my favorite. - Never seen a movie. - Quick one-a-day life. - But if I watch it, he might become my favorite. - If you watch it, you'll like him very much. I think you'll still like Spider-Man better. - Okay. - But he's a sick superhero. - Spider-Man's like everyone's favorite. He's mainstream though. - He's your favorite. - That is one of them, yeah. - Who's the other one? - I like Toby McGuire's Spider-Man 'cause you know why? He was human. Like all these other Spider-Man's, they're like in title. Like they're superheroes and they have to be out there. It's like, he was still a New Yorker. Wait, you know, a bunch of the guys were human. - How they shoot webs. - No, they're all human, but like, they're not all human. - Who's not? - Who's not human? - No, no, out of the Spider-Man's. - Oh. Toby McGuire is like-- - Toby McGuire! - You get thrown into the Avengers. Very cool. - Toby McGuire actually is the only one that turns to not human. - Yeah. - He's the only one that shoots webs out of the-- - He's the only one. - Yeah, but deep down, they still show. Like he's still the pizza delivery guy at Joe's Pizza. Like he's still a New Yorker. He stops the subway to save people. Like he's not-- - Have you seen any of the other Spider-Man's? - No. - What are we talking about? - Just saying, people love him 'cause he's a New Yorker, you know? And that's why-- - So are the other Spider-Man. - Yeah, but they don't show it through the film. - You haven't seen them! - Andrew Garfield? - Yeah, Andrew Garfield has a new title. - He's like an entitled high school student. - But it's not like a new-- - They're all in New York. - Yeah, but it's not like Toby McGuire in New York. - I agree, but I'm just saying, Zach hasn't seen any of the other Spider-Man's. I've just heard that-- - Get Steve Remy or whatever his name is who directed it and produced it. - Like really pulls out the strings from the New Yorkers because Toby McGuire is New York's Spider-Man. And everyone else is just kind of more entitled. That's what I heard. - And titles? - I'm choosing to agree with that. - And titles? - I don't know if in titles the right word. - What do you mean in titles? - I see, like they're not like the true New Yorker at heart. But they can't be-- they have to be entitled if they're not in New Yorker. - Oh, you get part of the Avengers. Very cool Tom Holland. Like just pull me in. Oh, I get this cool suit. Like, I don't know. - It's not that he loses the roots of the New Yorker. - Okay, so McGuire is going to be in the next Avengers movie and join the Avengers. - Well, that's because they're bringing his universe in because they need the help. - But they brought in Tom Holland too. - Yeah. I'm just telling you what I saw. - I don't know, I'm just-- - I'm just telling you. - I'm just telling you. - Look it up. Look it up. - Okay, Tom Holland's entitled. - No, it's the wrong word. He's just not native to the New York atmosphere that we love to see in the movies. - And you can't be a good superhero unless you're from New York. - I'm just telling you why people like it more than the other Spider-Man. - Okay, this is a heavy, this is a heavy movie slash TV franchise podcast I'm seeing. - Yeah, I've been doing a lot of that and I'm kind of okay with it. - Well, I feel like now's the time to do it. With all the movies coming out, I feel like AMC's back. - AMC specifically. - AMC. Yeah, the movie industry. - Watching movies in person, it's back. - I agree. I haven't gone yet. I was just back. I haven't either. I haven't gone to the movie. - My brother's got the A-Lis-Past, Bruttsman, Chris, they all have the A-Lis-Past. They get three movies a week for like $25 a month. - That's just way too much though. - I saw a post that kind of agree with, although I haven't done it. Going to the movies alone is growing up, like realizing you're an adult. - Yeah. - Like getting the pure enjoyment of just appreciating a movie. - Yeah, it's just, it's just not for me. - I don't like going in groups of people. I feel like what's the point? - I like going with one person. - One person. - One or two. - Because then you could chat on the side. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I just, I think I've went to the movie theater. I don't think I've gone by myself. Actually, maybe it is for me. I haven't tried yet, but I don't think it's, but like we go to premieres and stuff and it's like the four of us. And if you're on an outside seat, like you can only talk to the person next to you. - But that's fine. - Yeah. - I'm fine with that. - I don't like friend groups to go with like eight people. And then they all stand around in a circle after and like digest the movie. - No, that's a lot. - I'm a little, maybe I should start going in the movies more. - But people think I'm a hater. - On what? - On everything. Like I don't actually, like I actually like sitting and standing around. I'm just choosing to do something. - I hate it. - I'm telling my friends and don't want to hang out with them. - They watch the Odyssey and they hung out outside the theater. - Fine. I actually love that for them. - Just be normal. (laughing) - It could be out. - Okay. I wanted to talk about it. - Comedy. - You know if you stay quiet long enough, I will talk. - Yeah. - So keep your next topic. - Is that bad? - I don't know. - Do people really want that? Who knows? I like to hate on everything. They hate on me. (laughing) - Okay. - Are we good? - Yeah, I'm good. - Are we good deep breaths? - We got a little hot in here. - It is hot. - Yep. - Okay, when you're on the spotlight right now. - Are you done? - Yeah, I'm done. - Jesus. - Christmas. - Okay. It was a very movie, heavy, franchise, heavy, TV, heavy podcast. Two more topics. And I'm okay with that. (laughing) - Can we move on? - Yeah, yeah, we're on. - Okay. - I wanted to talk about another more franchises. - Let's do it. - How many hours would it take to catch up on these franchises? - If you're gonna say Avengers, it's a lot. - Oh, I'm gonna get there. But we're gonna start with Dragon Ball. What about the Dragon Ball franchise? - I've never heard it said just Dragon Ball. - Apparently it is called Dragon Ball and not Dragon Ball Z. - I didn't know that. - Dragon Ball Z, I think is a separate part of the Dragon Ball universe. - I don't know, I haven't watched. It would take you 30 days of watching. - Exactly. - I don't know. - It's okay. - 30 days? - Well, are you talking like consistent film? Like if you watch them back to back to back or like separate out? - We're talking about all of the episodes and all of the films that they have released in Dragon Ball. - Am I going hours days? - I said hours in the title, so pay attention next time. - 82 hours. - 280 hours. - How long it, that's like 10 days. - It's 11.6 days. - Wow. - Of straight watching Dragon Ball Z. - I feel like 30 days wasn't like outrageous. It was more than double. What about the Marvel Cinematic Universe? - That one I feel like you could probably watch. - I don't know how many movies. - 30 days. - No, I'm going to say 30 movies, two hours each. Let's do the math. Let's go 14 days. - I think the films are longer actually. - Yeah, you're pretty spot on. It's nearly 300 hours. It's 38 films and 25 plus series and specials. - Who has the time? - Nobody. - Also, you're not going to retain all that. - No, you're probably not. Unless, yeah, it would be a lot of information to retain. - So if you wanted to catch up on Before Doomsday, you have to start 300 hours prior. - I do like how they tell you which movies you should watch prior to going into Doomsday. - Yes. - So I think like Loki is one of them. - Loki is one that you need to, I think. I haven't seen it. It's a TV series, I think. - Oh, I didn't know that. - Yeah, apparently. What about the Naruto universe? - Also seems like a dumb hero. - He was a villain. - He's a villain. - Anti-hero. - He's Thor's brother. - Oh. - Yeah, so he's not a human either. - I get the same Doctor Strange Vod. - I haven't seen Loki, so I can't speak on it, but I liked him in Avengers. - Okay. - He's funny. - He's cool. - He's like a comical guy. - Maybe I would like him. - What about the Naruto universe? - I'm assuming you're going up and it's gonna get longer, so I'm gonna say, what, 16 days? So that would be 16 times 24, 428 hours? - That's pretty damn close. It's about 400 hours, so 16.6 days. - I don't think my math was right, but. - There's over 1,013 episodes and 11 films about Naruto. - Like, who has the time? - I just don't understand how they make that many episodes and people still care. - Does it take longer to film stuff in person, like live action or animate it? - 'Cause I feel like animation takes longer. - I think it does take a long time. - What about one piece? - One piece might be the longest anime out there. - It might be. - What's the guy's name? - Monke de Luffy, that's King of the Pirates. - I'm gonna say that one takes 20 days, so let's go 240. - Let's see the math here. - 24 times 20, put the zero down, 480 hours. - 470 hours, it's 19.58 days. - There's over 1,170 plus episodes and 15 films on one piece. Doesn't Drew watch that? - Let's see, big one, one piece are a different one. - Parker watches that. - Parker watches one piece. - I don't think Drew watches one piece. - I just know how deep you can get. - Oh my God. - Are you actually sitting and watching it? 'Cause I feel like you need all the details. - It's, nobody's gonna sit down and watch it like throughout 20 days. Parker's brothers.
started it, when I moved into my first apartment, he's still watching it. - That's crazy. - So that's like almost two years. - That's nuts. - What about Pokemon? - Pokemon I'm assuming is longer, which is crazy. So let's go 510 hours. 500 hours, which is nearly 21 days. There's 1,300 episodes and 23 films on Pokemon. - I don't think I've seen a single Pokemon show. - I used to have them on VCR and watch them, the movies. - That's fun. - I used to be a big Pokemon guy. And the last one, the franchise that takes the longest to catch up on is Star Trek. Never thought that would be the answer to that. How long does it take? - It's because they have a cartoon too, right? - They have a lot of stuff. - Let's just say 600, why not? - 700 hours, which would be almost 30 days. - Yes, see, that wasn't that crazy, if I guess. - There's 960 episodes and 14 films, which seems like it should be less, but I guess the episodes are longer and the films are longer. - Yeah, geez. - I don't know about that. It's a lot of freaking TV, you can't, you can't start and finish, 'cause they're gonna continue to come out with them. - I think that you can, but it would be a big investment of time. And then what's the point? - The only one that say that you watched it? - Well, it's just entertainment. - Yeah. - It's the point of any entertainment. - Again, I sound like I'm hating, I don't know. - I'm not a hater. - Well, what's the point of any entertainment? It's just to entertain. - To be in, but you ever play a video game? - Yeah. - I'd be like, I have to dedicate what, like four days into playing this, and then you're like, what was the point? - To get 10 prestige in Modern Warfare? - I really care. - It's just, it's to create memories. - Yeah. - That's what it is. - I guess that's true. - I think the only one on that list that I would want to watch it, I would like to start one piece, but I know that I'm not going to, because if I start it, I'm gonna have to finish it. - I have a quick question for you. - Yeah. - What's one show that you watch with Taylor? - With Taylor? - That you actually enjoy, and you never thought you would. - Oh, I have a good answer to this, summer house. - Okay, I thought it was gonna be TV though. - Yeah. - Are we talking like a real show? - Is there like a real show that, 'cause like the reality TV shows all to me are entertaining. - Yeah. - The first sight, I'm like seven episodes in. - I think I could watch any reality TV show and hate on it and probably end up liking it. - Yeah. - Like I'll watch the whole thing, even if it's ridiculous. - Like while I'm saying, I've seen some episodes. - I'm sure I would like Love Island. - You'd love it. I'm sure I would. I'm talking, let's, do you have one in mind? - I've been watching, well, I watch a lot of like, like her shows, 'cause I'll work on the couch, but then get invested. My life with the Walter Boyz, third season just came out. - I've never heard of that. - I know, well, I don't expect you to, unless Taylor was watching it. - No, I'm a little bit. - Do you want the plot and story? It's kind of crazy. - Yeah, let's hear it. - This girl, 16 years old, her old family dies. - Okay. - She moves in on this like ranch and a farm from the city. - Okay. - She moves in with like her family friends or something. - What? - I'm gonna read it for you. - Yeah, I would never watch this. - Why? - When a tragedy disrupts her life, a teenager moves in with her guardians big family in a small town and learns lessons about love, hope, and friendship. - But I'm invested. - I told Sonali, don't watch it, because we're on episode like seven or six. - It's great, Joe. - Recommended shows. (laughing) - Yeah, on top of that. Recommended shows. One of them is Ginny and Georgia, which my girlfriend loves. - Okay. - Tried it, hated it. - Yeah. - Like, I don't want to watch this. - I just, I feel like I'm a sucker for love, you know? There's a lot of love trying this going on. - Yeah, yeah, these back. - There's stuff going on. - I can tear you out sometimes. - One that I watched with Taylor, that I may be kind of expected to maybe like. I watched you. - Yeah, I like you. - That's a good show. - That's one that I thought I wouldn't like, but it was entertaining. - But I thought that maybe I would like it, because it's like a serial killer show, like someone that was a cat. - I don't like Joe. I just don't like him. - Well, he's a serial killer, so I would hope that you don't like him. - I feel like the character you're supposed to be back and forth with him, it's part of the development. - Yeah. - I have Anthony, you want to come on camera? - Yeah. - Come on, big boy. - Big boy. - Oh. - You called my little brother big boy. - All right, big boy. - We're gonna run the seven game series again. - Oh. - Yeah, in the siblings. - But this one's gonna be much more factual. There's some opinion-based ones. We're just going based off, like there's no debate here. We have settled answers. - All right. - We're gonna get in the chair, folks. - Chris. - He's gonna hurt his wrist playing basketball, yes sir. - He gets injured all the time. - He calls himself more athletic. - He's definitely not more durable. - My palm. - Okay, I'm ready for his act. We're running back the seven game series of siblings, okay? Seven game series against your sibling, who wins? - Let's do it. - I want people to send this to their sibling and comment who won between them, okay? - Yep. - The first one, who wakes up earlier? That's who takes game one. - I think it's me. - I think it's Brian. - And I don't wake up that early. - Yeah. - What time you wake up? - Well, now I wake up at 9.30 every day. 'Cause you got to work for us. You got a job there. - If I did it, I would probably, he's like a 1 pm guy. - Yeah, there was a time. - I wake up at about like two every day. - He was bad. - What time do you wake up? 'Cause I feel like it used to be more like 11. And I feel like now you wake up more towards like nine. - Well, yeah, I haven't had a schedule, like a regular schedule in like a month and a half. - Yeah. - I feel like the travel with the different time zones messes you up. - But yeah, nine o'clock. I try to wake up at like nine o'clock every day. - Game two, who's more likely to answer the phone? - Me. (laughs) - Oh, is like a text or a phone call? - Like if I call. - Oh, I'll, I'll answer every time. - Yeah, I think it's never answer the phone. - No, I answer phone calls. I don't answer text. - Barely. - I feel like siblings over there. - I feel like siblings are like my brother. Like you could call him. You never know if he's gonna answer. - He's like one for four. - I'm on that day. - One for fours. - Oh, no. - You answer every time. - I try and answer every time. - No, one for four. - I think it depends who's calling you. - Yeah. - 'Cause like if I call him, I've got the priority line, you know? - I'll answer Zach. - Yeah, maybe though. - I will answer you. - What are you talking about? - I would like to pull up the stats here. - What if Nikki calls you. - I'll answer every time. - Nikki calls a lot though. - She doesn't call me a lot. - She calls me a lot. - Yeah. - We saw that yesterday. - Yeah. - All right, moving on. - I'll hype it up about you. - So we'll get that one to Anthony. - She wants to go to Hawaii. - She just wants to go, please. - This one you're gonna have to take out your phone. Game free goes to who has the higher Uber rating. - That's big. - That's right. - We learned in Vegas that Anthony does not have that. - I don't know why my Uber rating is so low. - I don't even Uber that much. - Mine is a, mine's a 4.86. - Oh, is that decent? - Mine went up 4.71. - Oh, that's close to my thought. - So I'm above. - You're probably higher though. - I used to be a 5.0. It used to be my dating profile. - Was that kind of call Uber's for groups? So it's fine. - No. - I do. - Cheap sack to the call Uber's. - Yeah. - Call Uber's when I'm talking. - That calls $20 Uber's and Venmo requests everybody. - I used to be like that and I don't do that anymore. - Yeah, okay. Let's fact check that one. - I'm a 4.93 by the way. - Exactly. - I'm a 5.0. - He doesn't call the single lift. - I don't call it. - He hasn't called the single lift. I would like to see how many lifts and Uber's I've called compared to you. - Well, one more. - Probably 4x what you've called. - We can check, but we won't. That's fine. (laughing) - Come into. You're up to one. - Yeah. - You're up to one. - Who's been in less car accidents? - You've been in me. - Wait. - Hey, hey, hey. - How many accidents have you been in? - Like with my car? - Yes. - I feel like Brian's been in like, - I'm four or five. - I think four or five. - I'm in a mailbox once. - I've been in two. - No, I've been in one, but it's not even an accident. Like nothing. - Just a fender bend. - Did you hit in a mailbox? - Yes, that was one. - No. - And the other one was when I totaled my car. - Mine was some dude reversed into me at a red light. Just reversing by my car. - Still counts. - It counts, but I had to do it. - That looks like it. - He takes care of my car. - That was a total of my car, so. - Yeah, that one's a tough one. - It wasn't good. - That was a scary driver. That's what it is. - It was to be fair. - He was trying to get back for a meeting? - No, I know, but he just, in general, yours. - No, I'm not. - Yes, you are. - I am not. - You've never gotten a speeding ticket, have you? - I've gotten like eight. - I was gonna say. - I was gonna put speeding tickets in there, but I changed my car accident. - Yeah, that's good. - How am I a scary driver who's gotten eight speed tickets? - I feel, I used to feel scary with Brian in the car. - I'm a little more scary. - I'm a little more scared out. - Yeah, so you've mulled out a lot. - I've been going way slower. - Yeah. - 'Cause what's the rush? - I only go 70 out of 65. - You're more than that. - I go to like 74. - You call it me old. - See? - Let's get that up. - '79. - Yeah, that's why I coast. - I got 75. - I'm like a 70. - Usually I have a guy. - Somewhere in between there. Game five goes to the sibling with more unred text. Break out the phone. - Oh, I have zero. - I think. - Dude, you're all cut up. - Yeah. - How many do you have? - Oh. - You have zero. - How many unred text do you have? - 1,630 more. - Let's pull something up here. Oh man. - What? - I open yours. - Did you open mine? - No, no, no, no. I open yours. - Why did you text me? - I had gone for the mom unred. - 'Cause I'll read it and then I'm just like, "All right, cool." - Well, the problem with mine is, I actually caught up this morning a little bit, but I open them and I forget that I open them and it just, so you get a lot of text, but you forget to reply. You just have them more unred. - I just look at them on my home screen and I'm just like, - All right, correct. - For example, I have Chris's, Gunderson, oh no. It says, "Rank these animals that you could be in a fight "without knowing what comes next." - He texted you that last night? - Yes. - He texted me to give you a ranking about a dog breeds. - He said, "The Cassowary." And he sent me a picture. He said, "This, what is this?" He said, "I'm gonna give you this to you in the game time." He said, "Cassowaries, I'm not gonna say the rest "of the animals 'cause I'm gonna give it to you." The Cassowary, this is a Cassowary. They have spikes in their feet that can disembowel you. (laughing) Those are the texts I got. - You know, he was just sitting on his couch outside 'cause he texted me to and he goes, "Dog breeds." - It'll be great. Everyone will share them. - Everyone hasn't been there. - Exactly. - It's just like, all right. Anthony, you have more unred text. You take game five. You're up three, too. - Who's good? - No, I have more unred text. - Oh, more unred wins that game. - You win? - Yeah, you win. - I feel like that's bad.

Podcast Summary
Key Points:
Seven foods are identified as more addictive than alcohol, including Coca-Cola, French fries, instant noodles, Oreos, salted vinegar chips, salted chips (e.g., from Lays or Hers), and a specific sandwich topping (cheese).
These foods are addictive due to chemical triggers
Cheese contains casomorphins that bind to morphine-like brain receptors, making it highly addictive.
Instant noodles contain high sodium, MSG, and palm oil, linked to obesity and heart disease.
French fries (especially McDonald’s) contain 19 ingredients, including industrial chemicals not found in Europe, contributing to addictive taste.
Coca-Cola triggers cravings within 20 minutes due to a combination of sugar, caffeine, and phosphoric acid.
The addictive nature of these foods is supported by scientific studies, such as a 2013 study showing lab rats preferring Oreos to cocaine.
The discussion highlights how food brands use science and engineering to optimize addictive flavor profiles.
Summary:
The podcast explores seven foods more addictive than alcohol, emphasizing their chemical and biological impact on the brain. These include Coca-Cola, French fries, instant noodles, Oreos, salted chips (like Lays or Hers), cheese, and certain sandwich toppings. Each food contains substances—such as sugar, MSG, salt, and fat—that trigger dopamine release, mimicking the effects of drugs like cocaine.
For instance, Oreos are shown to be preferred by lab rats over cocaine, while cheese contains casomorphins that bind to morphine receptors. Instant noodles and McDonald’s fries use industrial ingredients and complex formulations to create addictive flavors, with some containing 19 ingredients and chemicals linked to health risks. The discussion underscores how food science engineers "bliss points" in taste, making users crave more.
Despite claims of health benefits, the evidence suggests that these foods are designed to be highly addictive. The conversation also touches on broader themes of consumerism, brand influence, and the psychological dependence on processed foods, concluding that modern food is as much a product of science as it is of taste.
FAQs
Foods like chips (especially salted vinegar or Lays), Coca-Cola, French fries, instant noodles, peanut butter and jelly, and sugar are considered more addictive than alcohol due to their impact on the brain's reward system and dopamine release.
Chips contain a combination of salt, fat, and MSG that quickly disappear from the tongue, preventing the brain from sensing fullness and triggering cravings, which creates a cycle of repeated consumption.
Yes, Coca-Cola is considered more addictive than alcohol because its sugar, caffeine, and phosphoric acid combination overrides natural taste rejection and creates cravings within 20 minutes of drinking.
Yes, McDonald's French fries are more addictive due to their 19 ingredients, including industrial chemicals like Dymethylapolysiloxane and tertiary butyl hydroquinone, which make them difficult to replicate and highly palatable.
Instant noodles contain high levels of sodium, MSG, and palm oil, and a single serving is linked to obesity and heart disease, while also stimulating the brain's reward pathways similar to addictive substances.
Sugar triggers the same dopamine pathways as cocaine and nicotine, and modern studies show that a sugar binge produces brain activity identical to a hard drug rush, leading to addiction and cravings.
