      I loved that toooooo! Also his judgement about Taco Bell. “Are you guys getting paid for this??? I don’t want to be here anymore.”

      Is it weird that I think five guys deserves this place? Maybe jersey mikes. Taco Bell is something you are disappointed about but you know they are the champions. They fuck everyone else up. Go to vermont. When you don’t have those things you gotta see how fucked your life is. Love you all. Have a good one!

    Culver's is honestly the best fast food place I've ever been to. Great food, and amazing ice cream and concretes. The founder personally inspects all the locations to ensure the experience is true to his original vision.

    I've never been anywhere near North America and 90% of this video was about places I've never heard of, so I cannot speak on their food tastes. But Shane being into Car Seat Headrest made me so damn happy. *Air guitars to Vincent*

    I think I'm glad that this show was featured after homemade. Homemade was great and gave you all sorts of mixed emotions but this show just makes you laugh at Shane and Ryan's antics. Its very entertaining and funny. Even if this show doesn't make the cut for a season 2. I'd like to see a show similar to this with all 3 of you just bantering back and forth about random topics.

      honestly though, we can all admit taco bell sucks but jack in the box's tacos aren't half bad, they're not authentic in any way shape or form but for what they are.. could be worse.

    "i did put in a few regional ones, for my fans."
    this filled me with glee, i love hearing about schaumburg shane (i've lived 20 minutes from schaumburg my entire life). i feel like we midwesterners have a personal tie. also culvers is definately top 5 for me as well.
