Transcript
Every week, my friend and I have a tradition called Fat Friday, which is exactly what it sounds like. We just best a bunch of food that's not good for us. Come with us to Fat Friday. What do you think so far? I'm not from tier, but I know my way around. Who gets the meat flush sides? They're large. He's going in for the noodles. This is jap Okay. I'm getting the japchae as well then. Oh, look at Patty. Notice how he skips over the fruit. We don't do that here. Hey, guys. Welcome to the hot bottle. I made this sauce, and it's kinda like cucumber salad. A fuck ton of meat. We are waiting for the soup to heat up so that I can fit all the meat in my mouth. That's what she said. I burnt my tongue. We've had an injury. Double order of rib eye. Just for himself. That's the smile of greed. Just tier greed baby guy on the table. And the gluttony. Morgan's basically done. I've thrown in the towel. Not for lack of trying, but that was a lot of fucking food. Richard's just really fucking fat. I am 70% full and I'm waiting on the next round. We have two more plates of beef. We? You. I have two more plates of beef. I didn't even order this one. They literally just brought this out. They knew you needed it. The guy just came over and said, Tier approaching our two hour limit. It feels like we've been here ten minutes. We've always gotta end Fat Friday with a dessert. You got kicked out of Fat Friday. Well, actually Richard overstayed his welcome. I was done like an hour ago. What would you give this Bad Friday out of 10? I'm gonna have to go with 8.4 out of 10. What would you give it? I give it eight out of 10 because they worse rushing me at the end. See you guys for best Fat Friday.
