Ask tell. [music]. [music] confess. to confess. >> Ask to [music] confess. Hello friend.

[laughter]. Welcome to another Ask Talk. >> I really missed those [laughter]. >> just to piss you guys off one last time. >> Oh goodness. So on the last ask, talk. confess members submitted multiple. stories of. food and fast food restaurant secrets. and it is overwhelming.

>> I wasn't prepared. >> I haven't been able to stop thinking. about it. >> It's rough, guys. >> Like I'm And there's so many We could. make this aing series and it could go on. forever. Like there's. >> I cannot believe. >> the stories we have since heard. >> All right, I'm gonna kick it off. >> Okay, you seem like you're excited. >> I'm ready. I'm Well, you kicked it off. last week. All right. Oh, I have a few. I worked in the food.

industry for 12 years. At a restaurant. in Texas in 2007ish, I walked in on my. boss banging multiple different servers, sometimes at the same time. He was. called the server slayer. [laughter]. He was our boss, but his mommy and daddy. owned the place. No, I never went near. that. I was also 15 or seven 15 through. 17. I worked as the hostess. But I also. worked at Burger King in 2011 and I. walked in on a manager's banging one of.

the cooks. Her the manager later got. leaked through the whole team and she. was given an unfortunate nickname having. to do with Arby's. I have witnessed cooks doing lions off. the counters, then wiping it down with a. wet rag and then cooking on it. I could. keep going, but I'll end it there. >> What about fast food makes people so. >> Everybody's. crazy, right? >> I don't get it. >> The amount of that happens in. restaurants is baffling to me. >> It's probably because you're just stuck.

working together with these people all. night long and everybody just gets a. little horn dog. >> It's like they're slapping meats in. every different [clears throat]. direction, man. I mean, it's kind of. hot. I don't mind the stories. Like, I. think that's hot. [laughter]. It's the like and the with people's food. that I'm like, bro, this ising weird. Even down to the scissor sisters in the. freezer the last episode. Like, rub it. out. Get one in. You know what I'm. saying? But don't with people's food, dude. I mean, I guess I would probably. takeual.

acts over like my food being spitten, you know, >> or a fly or. >> a fly story was crazy. >> Yeah. Or. >> Yeah. The scabs, >> bro. And then cooks doing on the counter. and wiping it off, >> bro. And now a day and I guess that was. an older story but like imagine nowadays. like. >> with takes to that could. >> I feel like there's so many cameras. nowadays though that maybe this has.

gotten better. I don't know. >> Maybe I. >> because a lot of these stories aren't. recent. >> Yeah, that's true. You know. Okay. So I. got one that's not so recent. >> Okay. So, um, many years ago when I was a teenager. going through nursing school, to. supplement my income, I worked at Waffle. House, the big dub. >> Um, I really love Waffle House, guys. >> I don't. It's so dirty. I would expect. to go down at Waffle House.

>> You know, there was a lot of things out. of this story I expected. This wasn't. one of them. >> Oh, lord. So, while she was working at. Waffle House at nights and on weekends. during my training, an old lady that had. long curved fingernails and was a smoker. when you could smoke inside of the. Waffle Houses. Do you guys remember. that? >> No. >> Oh, okay. So, when we first came here, they would ask you if you wanted smoking. or not smoking, but it's the same. building. So, it's either you're sitting.

by the smokers or on the other side. It. was crazy. That was the biggest trip. when I moved to Tennessee was whether. you wanted. >> if you you sit on the other side like. the smoke doesn't travel. >> Exactly. We would walk in and they're. like, "You want smoking or non-smoking?". And you're like, "I guess non-smoking, [laughter] but like that's just a haze.". >> Dude, I grew up in Vegas and casinos. Everybody used to smoke in the c They. still do. >> Yeah. I hate it. >> Uh, so she had these long curved. fingernails and she was a smoker when. you could smoke inside Waffle House. still while smoking a cigarette hanging.

while smoking had she had a cigarette. hanging out of her mouth with ashes a. mile long. It would and during that time. she was teaching me how to stir the. orange juice with her arm when you. couldn't find a clean spoon. I I need an example. She said. [snorts]. she'd just stick her hand down in the.

orange juice and stir when there were no. clean spoons available. >> Ew. >> You're just raw dogging these nasty. nails and cigarette. She says she used. to wait for the ashes to drop into the. food. >> Ew. >> That she was preparing. >> Bro, >> I'm not I'm kind of not surprised. though. Waffle House is like they don't. have a reputation for being clean. >> I mean, >> you go to Waffle House when you want. some sloppy, dirty food.

>> Yeah, >> I climbed on the counter in Waffle. House. >> That's You did. You did very recently, too. That wasn't very long ago. >> Nobody cared. >> But imagine the gunk under fingernails. and you're just sticking your hand down. and mixing up the OG. I stopped getting. my nails done because when I would pet. the cows, I would get so much dirt under. my nails and I it drove me crazy. >> Even now with my natural nails, I've got. a little scrubber by my sink and I scrub. under my fingernails because I'm so.

scared of like going and touching stuff. later. >> Yeah, me and Mimi are growing out our. natural nails right now. Everybody's. like freaking out online. They're like, "Bunny, you don't have your nails on.". And I'm like, "Is it really that big of. a deal?" Like I'm trying to do something. new. >> Comment sections are wild when you don't. have nails on. >> Yeah. It's like I could be talking about. like the coolest and they only care. about my nails. >> Yeah. You're like, "Look at my tanning. booth." And they're like, "Why don't you. have nails on?". >> Yeah. It's crazy. I'm like, "Let a girl. live, man." Jeez. >> I'm enjoying the the natural nail era, though. >> I am, too. But we'll see how long it.

lasts. >> Are you going to put some on? >> I don't know. We'll see how long it. lasts. >> I'm like I like to just do what I like. to do. This one broke my heart. >> Oh, no. >> It's going to break yours, too. My first. job was at a local Mexican restaurant. They recycled the salsa. Whatever was. left on the table after guests, they. just poured right back into the bucket. to serve to the next customers. I only. worked there two days and I never ate. there again.

It's one of my worst fears. Just eating. people's saliva. Saliva salsa. >> Yeah. You're just That juice is really. people's spit. It's not even saliva. It's not even salsa. >> It's not even salsa juice. It's saliva. >> I'm gonna throw up. I'm gonna throw up. >> I know. >> That's not okay. >> That's pretty gross. >> You're just dumping it back in. >> Yeah. >> Okay. That because I fear it so much. I.

always tend to throw a little trash in. mine. Like like at the end when you're. cleaning up, I always like take like any. little like trash that we have and I'll. like pile it cuz that's always been a. fear of mine. >> Yeah. Well, >> it's like I don't want other people. ingesting my DNA. >> If they don't use yours, they're going. to use somebody else's. And you just. ingested somebody else's DNA. >> So, what does it matter if you do a. little. >> I'm trying to break the cycle. >> pile. [laughter]. Trying to be one last Spatoon. I love. it. >> Why would you do that?

>> I love it. >> Someone tell me if that's still done or. not because that's making me question. all my life choices. >> Yeah, I'm never eating out again after. this, bro. I'm not doing it. >> Ruined me. So, not talking about like. awful things that people did to food, but food preparation. Have you guys seen how viral Applebee's. was going because they microwave their. steaks? >> They're gross. I would I wouldn't. imagine them being grilled. >> It's Applebee's. >> Who goes to Applebee's for a steak? >> I feel like a lot of people do.

>> Remember we had this conversation the. other day? You guys wanted to go to. Chili's and I was like, I'll probably. get a steak and then I was like, ew, who. orders steak from Chili's? >> I does. >> I raised my hand immediately. So. [laughter]. 6 oz sirloin baby. >> Oh. >> yeah. It says I worked at Applebees and. pretty much everything is microwaved and. frozen. >> Yeah. >> I also don't know what it was in their. water there, but everyone was hooking. up, especially in their storage closet. by the dumpster. We also tipped out our. bartenders and hosts, and one of our.

managers would tell us we owe them even. more money than we actually did, and. they would steal all of our tips from. us. That's especially if you're a. waitress, that's really because. waitresses don't get paid the same. >> Yeah. >> As like bartenders and things like that. The bartenders are already making a. substantial amount more. >> Yeah. And it's like [clears throat]. you're going to take their tips from. their waitresses. That's crazy. >> Have you ever seen the movie Waiting. with Ryan Reynolds? >> Obsessed. That's kind of the idea we got. here. That like everyone was like, I'm.

here for the waiting in the comment. section on Patreon because. >> that's a good movie. >> Yeah, it's great. That's exactly what I. feel like we're experiencing right now. The amount of stories on Patreon about. people rubbing food down their pants and. serving it to people. >> and butt cracks. >> Yes. Did you read the O Charlie's one? >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> That was rough. >> All right. This one says, "Pub burrito, anyone?". >> Oh. >> My husband worked at Taco Bell 20 plus. years ago before we met, but this story.

has lived on. One day, his girlfriend's. abusive ex's voice came through the. drive-thru window, and he felt rage just. knowing what dude had put her through. So, as as he made his burrito, he. reached down into his pants and ripped. hairs from under his sweaty nuts and. added them to his burrito. He swears. everyone in the kitchen saw it, but no. one said a word. That bro straight plucked some hairs and. put them in a burrito, which I mean,

>> rightfully so. >> Is. a little bit. >> It was for a good cause. It was a good. cause. Was good. >> It was revenge pubes. >> Yeah, >> that's okay. But. I have a lot of questions. Did you have. gloves on? Did you raw dog it? Did you. just. >> Does it matter? >> And then went back to serving other. people's food. He literally ripped pubes. out. >> I meant like other like preparing other. food. >> Oh yeah. He probably just went right.

about his day. Taco Bell is crazy. >> The the amount of stories on Patreon. that people dropped about Taco Bell the. Taco Bell preparation, how you literally. just add water to everything. >> Well, that and they also said that a lot. of food is expired and they change the. expiration dates on it and that's in. trouble for throwing it away. They were. like, "Hey, we'll it we'll just like. serve it anyways because our manager is. going to tell us to do it." Like, what? How are you getting FDA regulated?

That's what I don't understand. Like, how are these people getting away with. [ __ ] like, how are these huge. corporations getting away with [ __ ] like. this? >> I mean, who? >> But you guys won't pass up a tide. >> Thank you. Like, thank you. It's insane. The the ones that I saw was like the. beans are just like a powder that they. add water to. Same with the ground beef. and the chicken. They just like boil in. bags and they have to be super careful. rinsing it afterwards because it will. crumble apart. >> Yeah, it's just nasty.

>> Where's that meat coming from? Is it. Is it meat though? >> Um I heard a rumor and I don't know if. it's true that Taco Bell meat is really. made from soy. The beef is made from. soy. >> I'm asking chat right now. Yeah, ask. chat. Give it a Google or give it a. chat. Give it a GPT. >> Yeah. What is Taco Bell meat made out. of? He's probably going to have the. politically correct answer. >> Taco Bell seasoned beef is actually made.

with real beef, specifically 100% USDA. inspected beef. According to the. company, >> go to Google, say, "Is Taco Bell. [clears throat] meat made from soy? It says they put oats in it, too. >> Oats and beef. >> Yeah. It said it was made with beef, not. just beef. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. [clears throat]. >> It says no seasoned beef. Their seasoned. beef is not soy based.

>> I don't know. >> This does say though that the beef. ingredients, by the way, should be 100%. It's not. Um, oats, a malt, maltrin, dextrin, malttodextrin, >> yeah, >> is a food additive derived from starch. And then. an anti-caking. agent trio. >> Yeah, there's something wrong with that. [ __ ]. >> Cornstarch. There is soy in it though.

Helps prevent separation. >> E. >> And then citric acid, sodium phosphate. Why are all these things in the meat? >> You guys, we've told you this before. If. you look at an ingredients list and. there's more than three ingredients in. it, don't eat it. >> That's crazy. >> Don't eat it. The more ingredients there. is in it, the more sick it's going to. make you and the more. >> terrible it is for your body. I was. teaching Olivia that cuz we went through. this like big per I think it was like. after the Danny podcast and I went home.

and I was like, you know what? No. Like, I'm not doing this anymore. And I like. cleaned out my pantry of anything that. had like mile long lists of ingredients. And we switched over to like the kids. snacks being like Annie's and like. there's this other one. >> and we took all the dyes out of there. and like it's crazy the difference in. like ingredients lists when you're. comparing. It's. >> kind of weird. You know, >> it's wild. It's wild. And that stuff has. different effects on your kids and you. and like mental health and just.

everything. >> Cash and red dye do not mix. And I never. thought I would be one of those parents. I swore I wouldn't until I experienced. it firsthand. And like my mom sometimes. slips up cuz she doesn't she's not as. like um hyper aware of those things. >> She's not as crunchy as us. >> I'm a crunchy mom for sure. And. >> Bailey calls me a crunchy mom. >> I am 100%. [clears throat] And literally. she'll slip up cuz she'll be like the. other day she was like, "But it's not. red." And I'm like, "I understand that. the product itself wasn't red, but it. doesn't mean that there's not red dye in. And I knew the minute I walked through.

that door, I said, "He had red dye.". She's like, "No." We went over the list. of things he ate that day. And I was. like, "That right there. >> What does he act like? >> Insane.". >> Yeah. >> No. Like, you think he's wild just by. himself. >> Mhm. >> He will like There's like a like a. switch that just turns on in his brain. when he has red dyes or any kind of. dyes, blue, yellow, it doesn't matter. Just a lot of like food dyes will switch. this in him. And he does not you can. literally tell he's not himself. >> Like it's like a look in his eye and.

it's so weird. Like if you're not a. parent of a child like you couldn't. really understand it but like. >> I'll just look at him and I'm like you. had red dye. >> Yeah. >> We were shopping for stuff for Easter. today. >> And I was trying to like find at things. I could put in their Easter eggs that. weren't red dye and there was two. options. >> Crazy. >> So we ended up. >> Didn't they just outlaw They said they. outlawed red dye. So, yes, they did pass. a law, but it won't go into full effect. because all these manufacturers have to. like switch over all these things. But. yes, one of the red dyes, that's not all.

of them. One of them was uh just became. illegal. >> I don't trust anything that if if. somebody comes to me and they're like, "It's FDA approved." I'm like, "And. >> and you know what else?". Yeah. Like that doesn't make me feel. better. No, not at all. >> To do my own due diligence. >> Exactly. This girl said, "My boyfriend. worked as a cook and I was the waitress. at the same restaurant. I had a table of. three men who were talking down to me, and when I came back to the kitchen in. tears, my boyfriend, seeing me upset,

asked what happened. I explained to him. the way these mens were speaking down to. me and treating me." My boyfriend, who. was responsible for making their food, rubbed their shrimp skewers across the. bottom of his shoes and placed them back. on their plates. If you've ever worked. in a kitchen, you know how disgusting. the floor gets back there. I served them. their plates, and I'm not going to lie, it definitely made me feel better. knowing they got theirs. Moral of the. story, if someone's responsible for. handing your food, kindness goes a long. way. I quit raceing years ago and would. never go back because of the.

mistreatment from customers. >> A. >> Yeah, that's crazy. I always always. always try to overtip my weight my. waiters and my waitresses because I used. to be a waitress. I used to I worked at. Shownies. I worked at Caro on the strip. in Vegas. Where else did I work? I. worked at um I think that was it. That's. all the and then I did cocktails and. then I was bartender. So it's like I. don't know. I just could never imagine. being mean to somebody who's working.

>> talking down to someone like you can add. here bro. What kind of entitlement do. you have that you felt. >> to? Yeah. Like to treat a a way I would. I'll treat a CEO the same way as I'll. treat a janitor. >> Absolutely. >> Like you cannot be. a good human and look down on people. ever. >> And I loved waitressing, bro. I would. waitress now if I could. My dad never. let me go into food service because he. did it for so long. He's like, "You can. do anything but food service.". >> A. >> Yeah. It was crazy. I always wanted I.

really wanted to be a waitress. Now. though, I think back at it, I wouldn't. have been a very good waitress cuz I. don't have good memory retention. So, if. someone had asked me for ranch, I. wouldn't have remembered for like four. hours. So, like I probably wouldn't have. been a good waitress. But, >> no, I was I killed it. It was because I. get to multitask. So, it was just. >> You have really good memory, too. Number. especially, >> I would run tables like And I always got. tipped really good even when I was like. younger. Like, I just always got crazy. amounts of money waitressing.

>> I loved it. So, yeah. I couldn't. imagine. I hate that she experienced. that. >> But also on the other hand, Himeme, you. made a good point. Like you're doing. that stuff behind the scenes, but that. person was blatantly rude to your face. >> Something to think about, >> you know. >> So, who's more. >> Yeah. Who's got more balls? >> But I mean, who's more evil in that. situation? >> Yeah. >> You did something without their. knowledge. >> I hate sneaky shady. I would rather. punch me in my face, but don't lie.

behind my back. You know what I'm. saying? Like. >> it kind of makes a point of like you did. that without their knowledge, but they. were blatantly rude to your face. You. But in the end, that's kind of I don't. know. A little kind of worse. Would you. say. >> I would. >> All these stories are crazy. Ladies and. gentlemen, if you have learned anything. the past two weeks from these Asel. Confesses is that kindness goes a long. way. long. >> on both ends. Yes. So, if somebody's. serving you, be kind to them.

>> If some if you're serving somebody and. they're having a bad day, be kind to. them. >> Love conquers all, ladies and gentlemen. And then we can avoid people doing weird. >> pubes and burritos, >> scratching. I still can't get over the. scabs. >> You can't do it. >> It makes me question every time I ate. fast food. >> Oh god. There was a period in my life I. survived off of fast food. >> Me too. All of us. We've all gone. through. >> When I first met Jason, we had like zero.

money. Like him and I that was the. brokeest we'd ever been was right when. we had met and we just talked out the. other day. We lived. >> Yeah. >> on the dollar menus. >> Oh my. I got food poisoning from Jack in. the Box one time. Now it makes me wonder. what happened. >> What. did I swallow? [laughter]. And on that note, we're out. Love you. and see you later. Bye. >> bye.
