Every week, my friend and I have the 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. We're here with Rohan today. You ready to put us on some Indian food? We definitely, like, stick with the the low key stuff. Better chicken, chicken tikka. Super excited. I don't no know what to say. That was all for Richard, especially the non. Loki, I don't think this is not food. Let's see about that. First dish, we got the chicken peppadu. I had their body friends. Did I say that right? Chicken peppadu. That badoo? What's wrong with you, girl? It has has a little kick. Chai tea, right? Do you taste it? I thought Chai was cold. It's a Chai was cold. Blow on it though. Yeah, Richard. Blow on it. It tastes like very cinnamony. It's blowing bubbles on it. World's spiciest tikka masala right here. You can handle this. We got the Chinese guy eating with his hands, bro. That's a little spicy. You are the most messy eater. Well, this is nothing compared to Katz deli. When I was a kid, I didn't like it thick. Ideal consistency right here. He likes it super thick. Dang that. This is not enough food. To go to the crime scene we have here and take a look at his plate. I don't know what he's on, but I'm gonna finish the video. I know you want it. Richard trying his first song. Bro, these looks like nerd clusters. He doesn't like it. Rohan, what would you rate Fat Friday out of 10? I'm gonna give it a good, like, 8.6 out of 10. 7.9. I'd give it a nine out of 10. Follow us for next Fat Friday.
