Two fat guys eating vegan? That's impossible. It's

0:10

time for that snacking and yakking thing. I'm Big Ben Kennedy. And I'm Big Egg Small.

0:13

And as we said, we're eating vegan today.

0:16

Impossible. Impossible. Indeed. I think we talked smack

0:20

on vegan back in, like, the beginning where

0:23

you were just like, now vegan or somebody

0:26

said eat vegan. Somebody was messing with you

0:28

online or something like that. And I said, who knows? Maybe for the future, and you

0:31

were just calling. But we're here, Ike Alright.

0:34

Is what I'm trying to say. Things have come full circle. You can't escape it. Episode

0:38

twenty four.

0:39

We gotta give the people what they want.

0:40

We gotta give the I don't think anybody asked for this, but here we are. As

0:44

you can see, laid out for us

0:46

all. Yes.

0:47

Go to the live cam, I guess. As you can see, laid out for us, sausage

0:52

Yep. Meatballs, and chicken nuggets. The ones that

0:55

are closest to the bags are the impossible

0:58

ones. The ones that are to the front are just regular, regular store brand.

1:03

One made from animals.

1:04

Yeah. I think they're all three store brand. They're all three from Walmart. Oh, Walmart. Okay.

1:09

And it's not I get what you're saying. That's a shit quality and blah blah blah

1:12

blah. I get it. I get it. But

1:15

the thing about it is is I wanted

1:18

these to be I don't wanna go, well, of course, you're comparing that to that. I

1:22

wanted these to be and these to be because if you're going to try vegan, chances

1:27

are this is what you're eating on the regular, and you're like, I need to do

1:29

better. Yeah. So you see what I'm saying?

1:31

So that's it. We also have this is a very controlled experiment. Yes. We have the

1:36

paper towel right here where the first thing

1:38

will go on this side, the second thing will go on that side. That way, none

1:42

of the taste is mixed up. We also

1:44

have six forks each time. Got them. We're

1:47

gonna go ahead. We're gonna try one. We're gonna discard the fork over here. We also

1:51

only have water in our cups as a

1:54

pallet cleanser. So there's no, well, Coke Zero

1:57

Yeah.

1:57

Mixed it. This is a true this is about as close as you get. I'm, like,

2:01

myth bustering this shit right now. Myth bustering.

2:04

I like that. This actually should be a verb. Myth bustering. Oh, I I heard you

2:09

were myth bustering yesterday. Oh, you did,

2:11

did you? I had to.

2:13

So, yeah, I think this is definitely, one

2:15

of our fanciest, experiments yet. Yes. But, hey,

2:18

it could be something. Who knows? Do you

2:21

wanna just dive on into it? You wanna try the chicken nuggets first? We'll go left

2:24

to right. Okay.

2:25

Let's do it. Alright.

2:26

So go ahead.

2:27

We're gonna

2:27

We'll put an impossible to the well, no.

2:29

Let's just eat the impossible Okay. First.

2:32

I'm I'm getting it out.

2:33

No. No. No. Let's eat yeah. Yeah. Let's eat the impossible. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Everywhere is

2:37

like, oh, what am I doing? I don't know. How do should we do it that

2:40

way? Well, I'll tell you what. Get them

2:43

both. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So right is the

2:46

impossible. Left is the regular. Yeah. This is And that way, we don't, I don't know.

2:53

Like, we should have probably worked these logistics out before we started, but that's okay because

2:56

this is compelling, compelling television.

2:58

Yeah. Well We have them separated so that

3:01

that cross can happen.

3:02

So do we wanna eat the other one,

3:04

or do we wanna taste the impossible as

3:08

completely un Let let's do this. I think

3:10

impossible should be Taste the impossible first. That

3:13

way we don't already have chicken.

3:14

Then you then you get a sip.

3:16

Okay. Then we'll do regular. Let's do sip

3:19

sip one, sip the other.

3:21

Yeah. Okay. That that'll work. Yeah. Cleanse.

3:23

Okay. Okay. Don't you love us hashing out

3:26

the details of the entire show in front of you? This is, like, behind the scenes

3:30

while the show is going on.

3:31

See, this is the x's and o's, man. Right.

3:33

Alright. So impossible Okay. Impossible first, my friend.

3:44

That is not bad at all.

3:46

You know what I'm tasting?

3:48

It's like it it's definitely tastes like chicken.

3:51

It does.

3:52

I'm getting like a it's almost like a

3:57

like, it's flavored with a, poultry seasoning. I

4:04

guess poultry seasoning wouldn't be against the vegan

4:07

rules if it's just if it's just the

4:10

spices you would use on Yeah. Any other

4:12

chicken nugget. That is seriously This is this

4:16

strong. That is that is, like, passable to

4:19

a Yeah. Seriously, I you could give these

4:21

to your kids. Exactly. And I don't think they'd be the wiser.

4:23

They would eat it if if they if if your kids are chicken nuggets kids, chicken

4:27

nuggets and ketchup kinda kids, they would eat

4:29

this.

4:29

Yeah. Because you can have ketchup with it. I didn't wanna do sauces, by the way,

4:33

also. Okay. Because I was gonna do ranch, and then I was gonna do, like, a

4:35

vegan ranch, but I didn't want any flavors to get in with it because we're trying

4:39

the actual product as it stands. In the

4:42

future, we can mess around with our combinations

4:45

and try a vegan combination versus a keto

4:47

combination versus a regular combination. That's like the

4:50

super bowl of freaking maybe we'll do it,

4:52

and then we can use the big game.

4:53

Then we can do ranch to

4:54

the rescue. Right. Exactly. We can do all kinds of stuff. But, I'm telling you, that

4:59

is entirely

5:00

passable. Not bad. Not bad at all. So

5:04

that's

5:05

the sip. Little bit on there. I was

5:14

The pros pleasantly surprised. I was pleasantly surprised

5:17

too. As far as that goes, if we're ranking it on a scale of one to

5:21

ten, I'm going high, man. I'm going eight or nine. I'm I was very impressed with

5:25

that.

5:25

Yeah. I would do eight. Yeah.

5:26

I would do eight. I definitely would too. Mhmm. Alrighty. Regular chicken. You know what's funny?

5:39

You actually like the impossible better get. I

5:41

do too. Because this is just

5:44

now I'm feeling like I've been cheated all this time.

5:48

Well and before people jump all over, it's

5:50

because of the great choice thing. Yeah. Still.

5:52

Yeah. I I

5:53

would say when you never knew anything different.

5:56

Yeah. These were the chicken nuggets you were popping while you were watching the game. You

5:59

were popping when when you go to make them for your kids, you make a couple

6:02

extra for yourself and you're. Because you make

6:04

them some, then you get get three for you. And then

6:11

These actually taste like lunch school lunch chicken

6:14

nuggets. I was about to say, it really does. Mhmm. That tastes like exactly what I

6:18

remember. School lunch chicken nuggets taste like

6:19

to use.

6:20

Mhmm. But, like, that that definitely is different.

6:22

Oh, that is so different.

6:24

Like like the flavor, it's like it's like they put everything.

6:27

I know. Right? In their in their trying

6:30

to make it taste like chicken nuggets, they

6:33

wound up going going in a good direction

6:36

with it. Yeah. Was that like, close enough.

6:38

They wanna know. We're fooling people.

6:40

We're gonna make it sound like

6:41

If when when the wife wants the husband to eat better Mhmm. And we're gonna fool

6:45

them, we wanna fool them.

6:46

Mhmm. He's like, he did not question him. Like, you know, because These

6:49

are excellent chicken.

6:50

Some some vegan things like if I'm like, what the hell is this?

6:55

Well, that's I had a feeling that was gonna probably be maybe the closest. Okay. I

7:01

think that's why I put it up first. Okay. I felt like the meatballs

7:05

You may be maybe

7:06

Maybe the wild card in the middle. Okay. Because, I mean, it's not real meat, so

7:10

it could be

7:10

Alright. Yeah. Well, let's

7:11

get And then these are sausage, which you're

7:13

relying heavily on all the spices Yeah. That

7:16

are in the sausage. So Definitely. That is heavy. Or whatever is going on in it

7:20

is gonna mask a lot. Yeah. You just feel like the meatballs in the middle. Instead

7:23

of us going like, when Benjamin and I

7:26

did the, the biscuits and gravy Yeah. We

7:29

we just were let down by the end. It was like episode. It just went. So

7:33

I was like, let's put what I think is in the middle. Let's just see that.

7:36

Okay. But I have a feeling. I'm not sure. I've never tried any of these. I've

7:40

actually tried to go vegan for a time, and I never bought these products. I think

7:43

I did try the burgers. Okay. That's why I didn't put the burgers in mix. Because

7:47

there

7:47

was a few companies that came out

7:48

before this. Beyond? Beyond, Impossible, and there's another

7:54

one. Gardein? Yeah. Gar yeah. Gar Gardberg. Yeah.

7:58

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

8:00

But people a couple people when I talked to them about doing this episode, they said

8:03

Morningstar Farms. Morningstar Farms, as I understand, is

8:06

vegetarian. Okay. They have egg in their stuff.

8:08

So they

8:08

have vegan.

8:09

It's not vegan. They do have some vegan items Yeah. But they didn't have the vegan

8:13

of this, and I wasn't gonna compare those

8:16

three. We can do that for a future episode. We can compare which one of the

8:19

vegan ones is better, especially if we walk away from this feeling like that wasn't so

8:23

bad. Yeah. I could do that. Yeah. We dive into an episode. But, like, if this

8:26

were, like, a one shot, like, we'll never

8:28

do that again. I swear to god, I feel like I've sold my soul to the

8:31

you know? But, new fork. Alright. Impossible meatball

8:37

first. Meatball. Look at the size of that

8:39

thing.

8:40

Yeah. It's a big meatball.

8:42

Now these these are smaller.

8:44

Mhmm.

8:46

I don't know what I will say this.

8:49

Let's just say this. I don't know oh,

8:52

dang it. Uh-uh. Hold up. Hold up. Let's

8:55

get a new let's get a new paper towel. Okay. Keep this experiment perfect. New paper

9:01

towel?

9:01

Alright.

9:02

I'll check these behind. Alright. New paper towel.

9:06

We were sticking the vegan on the inside.

9:09

This on this side. Okay. No cross. Alright.

9:12

No. We're good. Alright. Alright. So we like

9:18

I said, I don't know if the meatballs are trying to be beef or pork, but

9:22

I know that these meatballs, I believe, are

9:25

primarily pork meatballs. So I don't know. I

9:27

didn't get into that much of it. So

9:30

if the people watching

9:32

bought these we we if this is what

9:34

I'm thinking it is

9:35

The big blue bag Okay. That you kinda

9:37

just dump into the sauce. Yeah.

9:39

We definitely have used these

9:40

for expediting. And making And

9:42

like meatball subs and

9:43

And also the, the the barbecue Yeah. Put

9:46

barbecue sauce for the like a baby shower.

9:48

Yes. Exactly right. Any party has this whole

9:51

bag dipped into a pot pot with a bunch

9:53

of barbecue sauce.

9:55

Yeah. And people just eat it with a freaking toothpick or sausage. Yeah. Hell yeah. Exactly.

9:59

So these are those meatballs. And that's what I was going for was the Okay. The

10:02

old standby. I got you. Did we get a sip? Yep. A sip. Okay. Alright. Impossible

10:10

time. Impossible. Alright, man. I'm telling you. Dude,

10:21

that is very good. It is so

10:23

good. Like you said, they really put some

10:28

effort. I'm I'm tasting, like, celery salt. Mhmm.

10:31

Yeah. This mixed with some of that, like,

10:34

Rau's Mhmm. Tomato sauce.

10:36

Mhmm.

10:37

Now I don't know enough about pasta that

10:40

if you can get, like, an eggless, you

10:43

know, that makes it like, if they do a vegan pasta, I think they do. I

10:46

think it's chickpea. Chickpea pasta. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

10:49

Yeah. Yeah.

10:49

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

10:50

Maybe a monk. God, that is really good.

10:52

Yeah. I'm in the whole thing. Because you

10:57

know because definitely, if you wanna do this

11:00

with the barbecue sauce, you

11:02

know a guy that makes

11:03

a barbecue sauce. Well, he makes it sugar

11:05

free. Just had to make sure it's vegan.

11:07

Oh, yeah. That's true.

11:08

There's a funny thing on the vegan line

11:10

that says, honey is or isn't. Some people

11:15

consider it because it is a byproduct of

11:19

bees.

11:19

I I always think it's not because you don't kill the bee.

11:22

That's that's the argument. Mhmm. It but then

11:26

again, you don't kill the cow when you milk it either. Well, that asterisk. And milk

11:29

counts, and eggs count. Mhmm. I'm not sure

11:34

about that. And I don't know enough about

11:36

I I'm not in this lifestyle. I've tried

11:38

it for, like, the health reasons for better food.

11:40

And I I and I guess I

11:43

can, like, just sort of

11:44

just look it up and to see what some vegans if they do eat honey or

11:48

not. You wanna look it up now? Because, yeah, we can do that.

11:55

Because, I mean, honey with those chicken nuggets would have been great. A honey barbecue sauce

12:00

Oh, dude.

12:00

Yes. A honey barbecue sauce would be amazing

12:02

with this.

12:03

Raw honey. Yes.

12:04

Yeah. And if that's doable, that would take

12:08

these up to the the punch these up

12:11

to the next level.

12:14

In the strictest definition of the word, honey

12:17

is not vegan Okay. As a product of

12:20

a living being. That's that's the distinction.

12:22

That's the distinction. Okay. It comes from

12:24

a living being.

12:25

Gotcha. Okay. But

12:28

if you wanna get technical, I mean, aren't

12:32

plants living? Well, they're not no. And I

12:36

get it. They're not being.

12:38

You gotta get some angry comments. We're diving

12:41

into a new audience here, man. We've not touched on this subject. So Yeah.

12:45

What's this fucking idiot talking about?

12:46

Idiots can be a little it's so funny.

12:48

They're mean

12:49

Love all love all God's creatures,

12:58

in it, she didn't find it funny at all, which is not a surprise. I said,

13:02

I think you're really just being mean to me because I've I'm made of meat.

13:09

Terrible dude. The opinions of Ike Smalls are

13:13

his and his alone. They do not represent Big Ben Kennedy or snacking and knocking as

13:17

a whole. Just joking, dude. I mean, seriously.

13:21

I will say in defense of all this shit talk, the products are dang good, dude.

13:26

Yep. So far, I mean, on those meatball

13:28

things, I'm at a I'm at a nine.

13:31

I'm really up there. On a scale of

13:33

one to ten, I would eat those anytime.

13:36

I am gonna admit, I came in with just, like, saying, man, this is going to

13:40

suck. Yep. Sorry about that. That's okay. But,

13:45

very good. Very good. So did you cleanse?

13:48

I think I did while you were looking up the thing, but just to just be

13:51

sure.

13:51

And I did just now. So we can have our old standby with our party meatballs.

13:56

The old party meatballs.

13:57

I don't

13:57

think we cheers the second chicken nugget, but that's okay. Again. Still good. But it it

14:10

The the, the spices are not as

14:15

not as pronounced as this one. They're there.

14:17

Yeah. They're there. This isn't a this isn't

14:19

an absolute horrible meatball. No. Like, I've definitely

14:23

had it a million times. Yeah. The chicken nuggets taste like school chicken nuggets. Mhmm. The

14:27

meatballs are, very standard, but, like, you you

14:33

have had these But there yeah. It's million times.

14:36

It's nothing special. It's like, you know

14:38

But it is very simple. Mhmm. It is

14:40

a simple meatball. Mhmm. Has some spice, has

14:45

a good texture. Mhmm. Just a simple meatball.

14:48

This one, a tight, like, meat, like, a

14:53

tight meat kinda bite Yeah. Where you bite

14:55

it, you bit like a substantial Mhmm. Meatball,

14:58

and then all of whatever they got going

15:01

on in that thing, like you said, celery salt, whatever they've got going on, it hits

15:04

you. It's like, man, this is good stuff.

15:06

Like, they put some effort into that.

15:07

They really did. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Could

15:10

it be could it be that we were

15:12

wrong this whole time? We're being jerks. Oh

15:16

my gosh. Could it be that Ike needs to apologize to his old friend on the

15:19

facey space?

15:20

I probably do.

15:26

Alright. Now let's re up on some water since I bothered to bring it out. Alright.

15:32

That sounds like a good idea.

15:33

That way, we can go ahead and yeah.

15:35

We can go ahead and have ourselves.

15:39

Appreciate I needed that.

15:41

That's good, though. So, I mean, man, we

15:45

are we are discovering some stuff today. God,

15:49

it was so good. It made me cuss and you cuss. We both we both dropped

15:53

an f bomb in, like, the last, like, seven minutes.

15:56

Wait. Wait. Were were we supposed to do that?

15:58

I don't know. We typically don't. Yeah. I think one of them snuck by, somebody told

16:02

me, if you wanna find it in an episode, but it snuck by. I definitely said

16:06

the f word somewhere, and I think it was in the episode with my son. So

16:10

I'm with my son cussing, which is such

16:14

a good look. I cuss in front of him all the time. So let's go ahead

16:20

and load up our sausage patties. Alright. Alright.

16:23

So as we said, vegan on this side,

16:28

regular on this side. And since it's kind

16:30

of a reach, you can go ahead and Okay.

16:31

Thank you. Alright.

16:37

Man. Okay. So this is the end of

16:43

the road. I was thinking, like I said,

16:46

we could have gone, but it got better.

16:48

Everything is like

16:49

so Yeah. If that's an eight, which I

16:51

like I said, I was calling an eight or nine. I'll I'll say an eight. I'll

16:54

go for the chicken nuggets are an eight. Mhmm. And you agreed.

16:56

Yep.

16:57

I'll say the impossible meatballs were a nine.

16:59

Yeah. Straight up. I I I think it's no two.

17:03

So will the sausage patties just be, like,

17:05

bowl you over ten, or will they come

17:08

in short? I don't know.

17:09

I'm hoping so because you know what I like? I like that little when when you

17:12

get the little surprise of, the, the red

17:15

cracked pepper in there

17:16

and Yeah. I if they all that off.

17:18

Oh, man.

17:19

It's just gonna be like, yeah. I'm a have to tell Michelle. It's like, we're we're

17:22

gonna have to get a new sausage now.

17:26

I mean, here's my Alright. Now flavor. Awesome

17:38

flavor as usual. But they're not mocking the

17:41

pork No. As well. Nope. That I will

17:45

I will give it. It is doable.

17:47

You know what you know what it tastes like?

17:49

Tastes like rice pudding.

17:53

Do you know what that is?

17:54

I love rice pudding. Okay. How does this

17:56

taste like like cinnamon and and all that

18:00

stuff? How does it

18:00

taste like rice pudding? What? No. They're it's

18:04

they make there's right it's it's pork based.

18:07

Oh. Oh. Oh. Okay. I thought you were

18:09

talking about, like No. Rice pudding.

18:12

No. No. No. No.

18:13

Is it called is your thing called rice pudding? Because my thing's called rice pudding. You

18:16

buy it in the store as rice pudding.

18:18

It's it's, a company well, the company distributes

18:21

it here. Is Lee's sausage.

18:25

Here. Yeah. Time to look up again.

18:30

I'll show you what I'm talking about. Because

18:32

as a matter of fact, I'll give you a little history. My grandmother's nickname was Pud

18:39

Okay. Because she liked rice pudding. And then

18:42

I'll show you what it is because it's it's a it's a southern thing.

18:48

That's weird. I I've not I've not heard

18:50

of I've only ever heard of the dessert, I guess, style rice pudding. You're talking about

18:54

a It's a meat based savory dish Yes.

19:00

Type here. Oh, and it cooks something like

19:02

patties too.

19:02

It's a it's a scrapple kinda

19:04

I love the scrapple. Okay. I get you.

19:06

Yeah. But here, it's called Country pudding.

19:10

Yep. Okay. White pudding. Mhmm. Okay. Rice, r

19:18

y c e. Is that correct?

19:21

I'm not sure.

19:22

No. That might just be that company's way. Probably, they call it rice pudding.

19:25

Because it because it has rice in it.

19:27

I'll go ahead. Shoot me a picture, and

19:29

I'll put it on the screen right now. Okay. I thought you had lost your damn

19:35

mind. I was like, are you stroking out on me or something? What's that? What the

19:38

heck was that? You know what it tastes like? Rice pudding. I'm like, what? But I

19:44

will tell you what it tastes like. It tastes like, all the spices of sausage. I

19:50

have to be honest, though. I don't know

19:54

if it would defeat the purpose to fry

19:56

this in a pan. Mhmm. Maybe if you

20:00

fried it. Olive oil is not the best

20:02

for frying. Its smoke point is is weird

20:05

that you can burn up real easy. Oh, yeah. I mean, you could fry it in

20:10

a little bit of olive oil. I wonder

20:13

if making it really crispy takes it to a different level.

20:16

That that makes yeah. What you're saying, though,

20:19

it's like I've tried to do that with stuff and ended up ruining it because it's

20:22

like you wanna try to throw it in

20:25

a pan. You know, if you put it in the Right. In the in the,

20:29

what do you call it? The,

20:30

Air fryer? Yeah. The air fryer.

20:32

I mean, yeah. I don't know. I'll go

20:35

ahead and cleanse the palate. Okay. Alright. And

20:41

then good old big old sausage patty that

20:44

I put on breakfast sandwich. Biscuit, bagel, biscuit.

20:47

Yeah. This is what you make your morning breakfast sandwich with.

20:50

Dude, I haven't had one of those a long time. A bagel? Like, like, yeah. Well,

20:54

I had bagels,

20:55

but it's

20:55

like put a sausage on a

20:56

bagel like that. Man.

20:57

Because, the the, the kids like everything bagels.

21:02

Oh, oh, I love everything.

21:04

Michelle buys them, like she buys them all

21:06

the time. Love them. Then it's funny because, they'll get them. They'll eat them

21:10

all. It's one of the few bagels in my house that will last for me. Okay.

21:14

Like, if I buy they sell them at Costco, like, two of the sleeves of bagels

21:18

for, like, six bucks or it might be more now. Mhmm. But the everything bagels, usually,

21:27

everybody leaves alone, I'm pretty good with. My

21:29

wife likes them too. Carrie likes them too. But then the kids, they'll tear up the

21:33

plains and the cinnamon raisin.

21:35

Okay.

21:36

But those two, cinnamon raisin and everything kinda

21:38

lasts a little longer.

21:39

That cinnamon raisin is it it hadn't done

21:44

well because I would buy them that, and then there was, Cinnabon makes a

21:52

Oh, nice.

21:52

They make a a breakfast bread.

21:54

Oh, cool. And I bought that

21:56

for them before for breakfast, and they wouldn't

21:58

wouldn't they would wouldn't eat it. So then

22:01

I have to eat all over this damn

22:03

weird, like, what they do and don't eat.

22:05

Yeah. I think we can I mean, I

22:09

know what this tastes like? Yeah. This was already in my freezer. I didn't have to

22:12

buy it. There you go. And the only

22:17

thing that beat the impossible, this to me.

22:22

Yeah. I I agree. This is this is

22:24

a good Yep. The impossible is good, but

22:30

this is just, yeah. And as we've said

22:33

for many a keto thing in in our

22:35

comparisons in our keto comparisons Mhmm. And this

22:38

is ushering in another comparison show that we

22:40

can do. Mhmm.

22:41

And we'll

22:41

do more in the future. Mhmm. Whether it

22:44

be it versus a regular, whether it be

22:47

different brands versus each other, or whether we

22:49

go for versus keto versus regular. Whatever we

22:52

decide to do, which is gonna be a ton of forks.

22:54

My wife's gonna be pissed if

22:55

I don't wash these. Every fork in the

22:57

drawer is just gone. There's, like, twenty forks

23:00

on the table. It's like, no cross contamination

23:02

amongst twenty dishes. Should be so mad. But,

23:06

anyway, yeah. And and what I was gonna

23:09

say was when we've done the keto comparisons,

23:13

we have said, if you must or, you

23:16

know, if you couldn't have it. And couldn't have your Same thing. If you couldn't have

23:21

it, but I will tell you, viewers we'll

23:23

go to the live shop for this. I will tell you, I would get these anyway.

23:30

Yeah.

23:30

I would get these anyway. Mhmm. This one

23:33

is the one that if I couldn't have

23:35

this by doctor's orders Mhmm. Or whatever have

23:39

you or religious reasons or whatever, you could

23:41

I I could get by with this. That's

23:44

what I would say. I could get by Mhmm. With those sausage plant, you know, plant

23:48

sausage plant.

23:49

Based. Yep.

23:51

But I never ever thought, like, that if

23:55

they go, hey, we're gonna make some chicken

23:58

nuggets. We we make them both ways. Do you want some of the impossible ones or

24:01

regular? I'm like, make me some of the impossibles. You know? Like, I would actually request it. That's crazy to me.

24:06

But Here we are. Here we are.

24:08

I'm sorry. The sausage is good. Yeah. Of course. What's gonna happen is you and I

24:15

sitting here, lovers of food Yeah. In a

24:19

in a plugged way to say we're fat, which we are. Somebody's gonna watch this, and

24:24

they go, see? So easy it is. Why

24:26

are we cussing so much? I think because we're I think because we're blown away. I

24:29

think because we're blown away, and we're out of our element, and we're shell shocked, and

24:33

we're just cussing. We're swinging wild. We're swinging

24:35

wild. I don't know what's going on. But,

24:38

seriously, like, they're gonna come after us. They're

24:40

gonna be like, you know what? You know what I mean? Why wouldn't you? Yeah. But

24:44

it's like you gotta understand this. This can't,

24:48

I think, just be a vegan channel. Like

24:50

like, we we wanna try different things.

24:52

So even

24:53

if we went vegan, we'd have to break the rule Yeah. To do the game.

24:56

We'd have

24:57

to break the rule to do this and do that. So I don't think we could

25:00

ever go full time anything. Even when I

25:03

was doing keto a lot stronger, I've fallen

25:05

off a couple of times. But I I do keto most of the time, and it's

25:08

easier while I'm at work, and it's easier when I'm, like, home. I get it. But

25:12

we had birthdays came out. Yep. My family,

25:15

a little bit I'll tell you this and I'll tell you this. Okay. My daughter's birthday,

25:18

my wife's birthday, my son's birthday, and my birthday happened in the span of fifty five

25:22

25:25

25:29

Day.

25:29

25:30

How the hell are you keto like, during

25:32

all of that. I I can't.

25:33

I mean It's There's very hard. There's, you

25:36

25:36

25:38
