Transcript
Every week, my friend and I have a tradition called Fat Friday, which is exactly what it sounds like. We just eat a bunch of food that's not good for us. Come with us to Fat Friday. Welcome to Waffle House. We've never seen that before. This premium Waffle House. There's only one thing you better need to get at Waffle Worse, and it's the all star special. Welcome to the Waffle House haul. This is the chocolate chip waffle. I originally ordered it chunked and sauteed, but they accidentally smothered it, and I'm not complaining. Super excited to take it. No look. No look. Don't look. Do you guys cut your waffle before eating or during eating? I'm scraping it clean. This is not very ladylike of you. Ladylike? You ain't too 80, you ate a lady. After the last video, we've officially decided to name our mascot, Fatty. Everyone say hi to Fatty. Can't hang. No. Stop recording, bro. I wanna make this really clear. This is not a Waffle House. It's a Waffle Home. Welcome back to Fat Friday. What would you rate Waffle House Bad Friday? I would give Waffle House 8.5 out of 10. I would give Waffle House 8.9. Follow us for best Fat Friday.
