This episode is brought to you by State Farm. Having insurance isn't the same as having State Farm. It's like thinking your crush messaged you back, but it's just your roommate asking for rent. You wouldn't settle for a disappointing DM, so don't settle for just any insurance. When it comes to getting the help you need, State Farm is a real deal. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. Facebook Marketplace. One of the most unreliable markets out there. Hi, hi, sorry, is this still available? Yeah. Back to what I was- Can you do $50? It's my son's birthday. He's always dreamed of owning a casket. What's your son's name? Jeffrey. Dahmer? Also one of the most dangerous ones, I do not recommend going to a stranger's house to pick up food when you have no idea what was put in it or how clean. But I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. down I'm taking my whole family with me here's the giant bag of burgers he gave me so much food oh my god we got one two three four five and the six six bro he gave me he was so sweet I also just learned that he wrote no onions for the no onion I am blind as hell but the fact that he did this that was really sweet of him okay time for a taste test oh my god holy shit these are so good cheese and fries honestly this tastes better than many restaurant burgers you know what the fuck he did and he's fucking cheating right now let me expose his ass he has google translate on his phone and that's how he read the sentence let me expose his ass where's the phone there's his phone right there he's cheating he's reading it from google translate look at this juicy burger what do you rate it nine nine another nine for me mom what do you rate it nine and for me nine okay what about you salad nine salad honestly I'm gonna give it a 9.5 out of 10 this is probably the best burger that I've had in a while and the fries are also so good they're very seasoned I I think for for 10 Dario maybe when I eat two burgers he said he could give it a rating of a 10 if he eats two burgers so the whole family looks happy honestly eating this when I eat in always I am very happy he said when he eats he's always very happy understandable I did want to make an experiment though that's why I bought a hot Cheetos bag I have never had a burger with hot Cheetos oh this is flaming hot so I'm like why not experiment with this okay so let's do this real quick maybe I should have told him to he probably would have done it you know because he seemed really sweet if I asked him hey could you put hot Cheetos on the burger he probably would have done it but social anxiety so I'll do it myself I am ruining a gourmet burger here we go here we go hot Cheetos gourmet burger well not gourmet anymore but okay that is good damn the Cheetos go well wait he didn't give us any napkins oh my God you know what lower that rating one out of ten no napkins I am not even exaggerating when I said these are probably the best burgers I've had in a while I say that but I don't even know what the guy put in this burger because you can never trust how people cook in their houses what if he busted another in these oh Jesus you never know you never know maybe that's why it is so good I'm just saying is this a pound worth of fries a pound worth of homemade fries they're not the frozen um what do you call it uh restaurant ones that you find at Chili's oh my God I'm coming back to this guy she already finished it there's only one bite left and she's not a burger person she's enjoying this I'm joined she's joined not only was this guy sweet enough to give me like two pounds worth of fries an extra burger but later on I found out that these burgers weren't juicy and the best ones I've had in a while for no reason when I asked him if he wants to include his name in the video you know like as a promo so and he says yeah sure so he gives me his name and it was actually his Instagram so I click on his Instagram and I found out that the guy is a private chef that's why these were like the most insane burgers I've had in a while like how did I get so lucky that I find a private chef on Facebook Marketplace the burgers weren't just burgering out of luck he's a private chef so shout out to Chef John the best burgers I've had in a while each burger was only like ten dollars and fries Chef John I'm coming back and obviously we cannot end lunch without some dessert so let's
