Antelope's and Antenopes. Welcome to another episode of Jesse and Wilders, Guide to Life. I'm Jesse, that's Wilder, and we are fucking back, baby. Tell them.

For now. Yeah, we'll take a three month break whenever the frick we want. Yeah, dudes. Here's the thing.

You don't listen. We don't listen. What's the big D? Yeah.

Dork, who am I doing this for? My frickin' walls? Geez, Louise. Literally, yes.

That's not true. We got the whole nation of Bogue waiting on frickin' pins and needles all summer long. Where's the bulkheads at? Yeah, I did.

You know where they're at. Why don't you tell them where you can. Tell them what you've been doing. I'll tell them what I've been doing.

So they know that there was a reason we was going. I've been farting around the globe. Pally, have you heard of it? I've heard of it.

Yeah, I have. I swear to God. I don't even think I told you about this yet. I met a man in Italy who was basically me and McGrath doing an impression of him.

Oh boy. Fucking guy. It's like he didn't know that I was trying not to get fueled. But we were in a lace store and he was like, Disa, Lesa is a maid with, and that's every fucking word he said sounded like that.

I was like, dog, you better knock that shit off before he fucking punched you in the face. I couldn't get it off. You should have asked him to join you for a little bit of spaghetti. Fucking basically did.

That's tight. Yeah, bro, I'm just going to nine million weddings, basically. Spending all my hard earned cashiche on other people's weddings. Yeah.

As you should, you didn't even mention your best update, which is that you got a big juicy sunburn. Oh, yeah, I got such a bad sun-breaking. So it was all over my parts. And it's mostly peeled now, except for my left shoulder.

Would you say that it sounds like it's on your dick? No, bro. I don't go tubing down the river with my ding-a-ling exposed. I don't know.

Just the front of me. The front of my top half. Yeah, thank you. Most of it has gone away.

I'm in the flake mode right now. I'm cutting some serious flakes. But my left arm looks like it was scorched by a freaking dragoon, like a freaking house of dragoon. Yucky.

Yeah, dog. It's all manner of colors. It looks like it's been burned. I have for it has creeped into my mind that perhaps I am not OK.

Which it takes a lot for me to ever think that way. But we all get to that point. So this is like Wilder. I don't get hangovers, really.

And that has always irritated Wilder. Wilder doesn't really get sunburned. For me, that isn't a personal attack. Yeah.

I don't really ever sunburned. So I figured what's the big D? I do a quick little spray of the old sunblock. It's been three hours floating down the river.

And then next thing you know, I'm bam to it. Well, there was like, I put it on before we left. And I was like, did you reapply? And he said no.

You reapply? And then I said, did you get in the water? And he said yes. And it's like, did you ever thought about using that fat nog and you got to think?

Bro, I don't need to use my nog and about sunburned because they don't happen to me. Well, first time for everything. Yeah. Got your ass.

Got him again. Got him again. The sun again. Yeah, it stinks.

I'm like, bubbling going. That's kind of bubbling. Like a fucking boobly pizza crust. Yeah.

This motherfucking pizza oven. Yeah, no, but for real though. It's cool. That's great.

That's great news. That's all great news. You're tripped to Italy and also your fucking crispy ass sunburned. Yeah, what'd you do?

Went on a honeyed moon? Yeah, I got married. I want a ding dang honeymoon. And I puffed around and school started again.

So yeah, all good shit. These are worse students. Say them by name. Wilder Shaw.

Sick one. Tell them why we here. What's our grand reentry into this? I don't remember exactly how we got going on this chat.

But here's the thing. Perhaps you've heard from talk about before. I don't live in a big city anymore. I live in a small city.

And you know what? I am often inconvenienced by is the lack of ability to get something. And I miss my sevelive. I miss my for my very brief time in New York, Botegas.

I miss my liquor store or donut shop. Gang, not really a convenience store, but sometimes in some neighborhoods. It doubles. Yeah, I think that is sort of a California special, but yeah, for sure.

And we're here to talk convenience. Yeah, it was definitely a 7-Eleven that got us going because we both love Seb. So I'm actually going to start. I have some cat.

I want to throw out a bunch of categories right away. Yeah, OK. I'm going to throw out type. So general convenience stores, that's where your Seb goes.

That's where your Botegas goes. We'll load those up in a bit. OK. Hot food.

All right? Yeah, not hot food. These are categories. And then I have a third category, not food.

And we'll get there. That's positive. So 7-Eleven, I think, is just about as gold. 7-Eleven and Botegas are very quite late.

Yes, that's gold standard. Yeah, man. There's no 7-Eleven here. It really breaks my day heart.

But I used to go to 7-Eleven for no reason, just to see what antics I might get into once I entered it. Yes. 100%. It's like a great, you're popping by, you're walking back from lunch or maybe you're at the bars.

And bingo. I don't know what I want, but I'm going in there. And I think gas station is very pretty good, because it's got a lot of stuff. But it doesn't have.

Yeah. Unless you've got a local gas station, and you just know the vibes. Right. But still, it's like, you're not going to get a slurpee.

You're going to get it like a Mr. Slush or some bullshit. Right. OK.

I would not. OK. For not hot food, slurpee. I haven't had one in so long.

I want to say it's very quite late. But I would not get any other type of IC besides slurpee brand that's slurpee. Yeah, slurpee. I'm going to say slurp.

Have you ever gotten one not at a convenience store, like at a movie or a ice skating rink or a? I used to get them at movies all the time when I was a kid, before I was a fucking like, grew into a real adult. But the whole movie. Yeah.

Fuck that straw. Yeah. Oh my god. The straw.

And then you scoop it, because it was like a shovel. But how it doubled as a shovel. Yeah. You know.

You know. I got a slurp. I'm not a shame to say. I got a slurp about two weeks ago.

At least at the 7-11, I was at that. That fucking shovels. It was July 11th when they're free. No.

That shovels. No straw. No more, ruff. It's just a regular straw.

What? I know. Bummer. Fine.

It's for the best. They realize it's so unnecessary. So 7-11, great. Bodega, great.

Castation medium. I think we're, look, folks, there's going to be a lot we don't hit, because there's a ton of regional convenience stores. Yeah, dog. I can name a couple.

And to be honest, they're all pretty much very, pretty good. People love Wawa. They cannot get enough of that damn Wawa. I don't even know what that is.

I think it's a northeast thing. I think they have them in Jersey and Pennsylvania. And they are. Oh, I hate that name.

Yeah, it sucks. And the thing is, one of their signatures is they make subs. Go to the Wawa website, dude. They have Panini's.

When I stroll into the Wawa West. Stop, dude. Oh, they have a Kevin Hart combo. Oh, my god.

The Kevin Hart combo, dude. It is a classic hoe-ki and a C4 energy drink. Fuck me. Oh, my lord.

Kevin Hart gets out of the gym. He gets his fucking bug ass eyes. And he strolls into the Wawa. He says, give me the huge.

They fucking fast pitch a C4 directly at his head. They fucking shoot a classic hoe-ki out of a t-shirt cannon. He catches both. He walks out.

He doesn't pay. That's the fucking Kevin Hart special. I got a bonus point for you. Japanese 7-Eleven.

OK. Have you been? No, but I know of the wonders. Convenience stories in Japan, apparently, are more like a pret.

Oh, they've got snackums. No, pret's more like a restaurant. No, pret's not a fucking stop trying to chew or a pret into everything. But it's more like that there.

So the sandwiches are better. They got all those wacky ass kick-cat slaves. OK, yeah, the kick-cats are nuts. I have to address something.

So here's what's tough. Wawa, I've always experienced. I'm still on Wawa. But my extension, a lot of other stuff.

The thing that's tough is a lot of these I only see as gas stations. And a lot of times it's gas stations on a highway. And I mention that because Wawa has soups. What fucking world am I getting?

Am I cranking a cup of soup on my road trip? What about those little Campbell-to-Go cups? I don't want that either. I don't think they make those anymore for a reason.

Do they make those still? They still make those. You have them. You've got them for sure.

Talk, I would have given a fucking OK. Testical for one of those things when I was on my ice trip. I will just, I will just, I have to say one more thing about this fucking Wawa website. And then I'll, I'll stop.

First of all, Wawa website. It's like a website for babies. Second of all, let me list you there. When you go to the Food and Beverage tab and you scroll, there's a coffee and beverages.

I'm going to read them all to you. The first are normal, fresh coffee, bottled beverages, energy drinks, soda and more, lattes and more, frozen beverages. And then we get to the end. And it is Wawa milk.

You did it. And Wawa beer. Yuck, bro. First of all, you talk about Siptopia right now?

Yeah, my brother. We are in Siptopia. OK, well, we're kind of legit, though. I have to tell you.

Look at that sandwich. It's not a baguette. Oh, no, that's a hoe. I know, dude.

It's really not bad. But I tell you, I only see them off like interstates at gas stations. And I cannot be eating a big sloppy hoe in the fucking car. Of course you can.

That's a, ooh, that's a demerit for me is eating in the car. And I think it's relevant to this. Oh, what? Eating non-snacks in the car.

I love dogs. I'm going to eat a meal in the car. Yes, of course you have to sometimes. Is it good?

Absolutely not. Breakfast in the car all the time. I used to eat your little high school kid. You swing through Jack in the box for off-campus lunch.

You're going to eat that shit on the car on the way back. Yes, agreed. And it sucks. You just grab myself a little subway.

So that easy? You're not eating subway. Oh, is it while you're driving? Yeah, dog.

Are you fucking absolutely covered in lettuce? Are you getting two years ago? No, no less to be seen. You're getting two-ner.

No, I'm on a subway kick again. So what are you getting? If you're stopping, they got, first of all, they got some new shit. What was the last time you were in a subway, bro?

I'm not going to say subway, bro. Listen to me. Did you know that there's another size? You're, no.

Yeah, there it is, baby. You're okay. Wait a minute. They got the foot-long pro.

What is it? It's just like a size of a fucking ballistic missile? On the menu it says 6-inch, 12-inch, and then FL Pro. And I was like, what's the FL Pro?

And they're like, foot-long pro is double meat, not a size. Okay, so you're driving down the five on the way to, from LA to San Francisco, and you have five hours left, and you're going to pop a quick subby and eat it while you drive. What sandwich are you getting? Hot tuna, in that case.

Cold cuts. You don't, I don't ever get, here's a little trick about my subway order. I don't fuck with any subway sauces at all. I am a little bit of oil and vinegar, a song pepper guy in my subway.

Oh my god, so you've got fucking oil and vinegar dripping down your face. They know it's not Jersey, but that's what you're thinking. I cannot conceive of eating a subway while driving. They're so much- They're just spin.

No! There's so much produce on my fucking little wrapper when I'm eating it at a table. I can't, it would be all over my fucking whole body. Okay, so we achieved nothing in that conversation.

I guess- Bonus points. I mean, subway while you drive. No, it's not a bonus point. It stinks.

Another regional one is Mavericks. That is a, they got them in Utah, and they got, honestly, if I don't, I can't like, I'm not going to stand here on a soapbox and scream about Mavericks, but like, it should be a three to be honest. It fucking rips. They had a full, no, I'm going to put it in three.

They had a full cine bun in a Mavericks when I went. To me, that's cash money is what you call that. Let me, let's just take a little trip down, because I don't know what a very knock-point, convenience store would be besides like, it is full of scary people in the application. So I think a type is like a, and I guess this is often a gas station, but like a type that's a one is like, and I'm putting some quotes, like last store for X miles to me is like, those are always like, because they got you, right?

That's it. They have you. You know what I love? Soder, you're done for.

What's, maybe this is a bonus point, maybe this is a type of thing. I love when they got a lot of nuts and dried fruits and little specialty, like non-big branded things. You know what I mean? Maybe like house-brand candy and like, stacheos and like barbecue ranch stacheos and like a million, you don't talk about?

Yeah, you like that. That's a three to you? I'm not a prob-ly, if I see a huge centerpiece, which is full of little snacky snacks from this one brand that like exists in this town, I'm definitely going to get one. Okay, so it's a specific.

Okay, but it is branded. It's not like somebody's fucking Ziploc full of. No, Ziplocs of snacks for me. But like, you know, you go in and it says like, GJ foods or whatever.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We, so they're all over now, but dots pretzel, shout out to dots pretzels. First time I ever had one of those was a mavericks. They're from Colorado, but they were only in like Colorado and Utah.

Now they're fucking all over the place, but yeah, dots pretzel's cash money. Same deal. What the fuck are these? Let me get it out of the way while I'm talking about my gross things.

You already know, and many people know of my big nasty sin. I love love love love seven, 11 egg salad sandwiches. I love them. Yeah, we and we've talked about it before.

So where do you think it goes? Because it's obviously not a three. Do you think that you you being the only person that eats them could raise it higher than a one? I think that it would win a blind taste test 10 times out of 10.

No, it's the least it's the least mayo. I'll put I'll put him as a two because I obviously me and all the listeners have not had one. That's I mean the biggest honestly at us at JW guide. What do you think of the egg salad at 7 11?

Isn't it good? Isn't it good? It's the worst. That's the fucking slogan.

This is though this is like it's obviously it's this is one of those things where it's like no one can argue with you because no one's had it, right? It's just like we all that's why you're all wrong. Wanna go deeper into this nasty nasty wormhole mine? I used to have this after the bars, let me tell you about the three course meal from 7 11 number one chocolate milk.

Number two, little eggy sal. Number three, you walk it all down with some snack wells. Oh my god. So a chalky milk and a snack wells is a hangover foolproof because what happens is you immediately throw up from putting those things in your mind and then you're not sick afterwards.

Is the most vile shit I've ever heard in my life that sucks so you dude fucking you little thing called fine dining hot food. Let's get some I feel like we can crush some of these obviously. Lam and rice is like yeah, can we just say bodega hot food? I know that it's not all excellent but like bonus points Lam and rice.

God fuck. So good. Yeah, we've we've definitely talked about bodegas and lamen rice on this podcast before so go listen to the other episodes if you're wondering about it but that they're a lot. That's all you need to know is it's self explanatory and rice it's hot it's good.

Let me get 7 11 pizza it's incredible. Yeah, do we want pizza? We split a 7 11 pizza after speed feeds wedding. I know and I think that if I recall I think that some folks turn their nose up at it so fucking bourgeoisie.

Oh my god the fucking suits on Wall Street. Too good for 11 11 pizza. The 7 11 pizza I mean you you said that somebody said it and it's an absolute fact. There's two types of pizza there's good pizza there's great pizza that's it those are the pizza types so that's a fucking move on from there.

11 is it manages just in fucking murders it. I love 7 11 tequitos I can't get enough of them. Yeah, not they're great. So I'm a top bar is pretty pretty banging.

I I think they get a little too wild but yeah I mean I I fucking I wrote a whole ranking of the 7 11 hotline up. I love the Buffalo chicken rollers. The chicken the rollers are challenged to me. Basically just a big long chicken tender.

It is which I think is challenging to me because it isn't the shape of a hot. No, the shape of make it's probably just like a sausage you know technique. Can I just put the rollers can I put the rollers as a two because there's also like the burger one it's sickening dude. Oh no.

I mean it's not for me. I mean and I have to tell you a big bite is it is it too also as much as I want that to be a killer. Is that the dog is that the hot digger? Yeah, just like the regular bite.

It's not as good as it should be. I agree. So we got a free to pie on there you freak. Yeah, so if you don't I mean this is wilders fucking amateur he's like I wrote an article but like let's be honest it's fucking rubbish.

It was like this is not real you can't put it in here. Right, but all the real heads know and I literally did it with Wilder if you go to 7 11. On the morning of our 30th birthday. Yeah, yeah.

On the morning of our 30th birthday if you go to 7 11. You can ask us one favor. No you you get a bag of freebies and you pop them bitches open in a real special occasion which is what we did which is what all the real heads do. I will feel to open something you're about to buy from a store in the store.

Yes. Oh my god. Honestly a thrill all the time. I used to that shit grocery stores all the time.

You start eating the grapes. Grab a little gatoried on my way in fucking slug it. Sick with the empty bottle down. Yeah dude.

Scan this bitches in my tummy. Boy that's that's a merch on my tummy. Mm. Mm.

Mm. You go up to the counter you say give me give me a which is slice it for me. They'll take the scissors out they'll cut it horizontal which is the only proper way to go by then you go over to the little chili hot chili cheese section which itself is probably a one hot chili and cheese from 7-11 is not it's not it's not what you're there for a great deal but you put me pop some onions in there some little jalepinos if you want and then they charge you for that and you go out and you eat with a fork and it's fucking great. I don't today have any other hot shit.

Oh they've wings dude I'm out on the way. Hot shit they've got breakfast sandwiches they've got those little mini tacos. I'm gonna say a one is anything that I have to heat in the thing so. Oh if you have to use the 7-11.

Oh that's a no for me. I will not go to 7-11 to use a communal microwave. And they have that shit in a lot of places like that's not a sub special you go into places like pop this for microwave. Yeah that's I can't that is my microwave that's not the whole world's money.

I can't simply cannot abide with the 7-11 microwave. Fuck me but sometimes they got them wrapped and sitting in the hot the hot bar. Yeah and I'll grab like maybe a little a little egg and cheese to go. I just love 7-11.

Not hot food shout out and it's a it's I guess that's just a drink but like Martin Elies you know I love my Martin Elies my little Bartnell is sparkling apple cider. Yeah okay but I actually think that's important because I think there are some I don't know if you agree with this. There are some beverages that like I am getting exclusively at convenience stores. Oh yeah good enough fucking restaurant.

Do you have to have a Martin Elies? Yeah you bring me my sparkly juicy juice please. I don't know where you want to put it but we cannot I mean shout out to the the literal goat talking about fucking zony iced tea. Oh babe I can't neither of us can drink it anymore because our fucking teeth will fall out.

We were also talking about this how we we used to hit we but rather I lived above Walgreens. I like to call it. I'm putting Walgreens CDS as a as a three convenience store by the way. And we had popped down there six seven eight ten times a day.

Just grab ourselves a ninety gallon Arizona paid ninety nine cents for each time. Walk back upstairs and just look and slam through some breaking bad. Chug Arizona put it in our butts we could not get enough of it. Yeah and I'll tell you what like you're honestly you're painting a kinder picture.

What would happen regularly is I would scoot down there we would scoot down there. We'd get two Arizona's one for now one for later I guess. We did have a later zony. Yeah we had like a zony loaded we had one in the chamber always.

Probably like I'll grab a back a sour patch kids maybe you know. Maybe a quick pint of Ben and Jerry's or something like a little you know. You're gonna be the credit card minimum bro. Let me get that large Doritos.

They did have a fucking credit minimum at that one. It was five dollars we would go in and be like we're gonna get in Arizona knowing God damn well that was not even a quarter of the money we needed to spend. Definitely and then we get back upstairs and go oh fuck I just remember I actually did a new toothbrush that could have been. Yeah yeah yeah yeah.

We haven't had band-aids in three years. So Arizona I see I think ice cream I'm just gonna generalize ice cream from a convenience store like you're walking home and you stop at the set and get a little fucking a little fucking fudge pop or whatever. I think that has to be a two. Oh you're talking about a single serving.

Yeah yeah I'm not talking about like a pint. No I'm still serving ice cream. Ice cream is a three. Yeah.

Pint is a disaster because like now all I'm thinking about all day long and my guiltiest pleasure probably in the world probably the thing I have the least control over and that includes Krispy Kreme is fucking hogger-daws coffee ice cream and they sell it everywhere. Yeah sure sure. I can't that'll be gone in three days I just can't. Right.

That's Dawes baby. Not hot food sandwiches shout out to Roxies the area. Oh it's a type this is a type this is a bay area liquor store where they also have a fucking sub counter. And that's a three obviously like a fucking sub counter liquor store.

Shout out Roxie shout out jeans. Yeah all the hits. I've never seen that in any other city besides San Francisco. Yeah certainly not with the frequency because it is like a lot of I was like randomly it's funny to you like my muscle memory kick in I was in San Francisco a couple of months ago and we were all hungry and I was like why don't we see the store sandwiches and I would never otherwise say that.

No you'd have to see like a fucking lunatic. Yeah no and then we went in and they had like a position to say which is huge menu like nine types of bread yeah. I want to get into not food a little bit but I do have a very not quite lit I guess not hot food. Okay not quite lit bro is the microwave meals I can't be getting a hungry man at one and yeah and we used to all the time for other stupid podcast we'd be down there like yeah I guess I guess this this lasagna from fucking TGI Fridays will do tonight.

Hold on I have a grievance are we going to Walgreens and CDS a convenience store yes because I think drug stores and like pharmaceutical stores are not the same. What I mean you literally quoted a time that we were going to Walgreens yeah far messes. I think we treated it like a convenience store it was convenient. Yeah I think that it is it exists in both realms I can I'll agree to that because I have almost never treated either of them like a drug store and I'm always treated them as a I want a Coca Cola right yes I've had four like far far far maybe one hundred times the amount of times I've gone to Walgreens and walked out with a soda and a candy yep then like actual medicine.

How about when you're at Walgreens and you're getting your vaccine and they're like hey you can't leave the store for 15 minutes in case you faint. Oh genius genius thing to say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. The boss time to go wander the aisles and get the toilet for some reason and I'm thinking about a squirt gun maybe. I'll put it at two though just because it breaks I'll put Walgreens to get to just because it it does break the the theme a little bit and like I don't know though I Walgreens to be as always crazy crowded because they they got other purposes.

I have a very quite lit not food. Yeah go on shout out to the Shell station in a water village a block away from where I used to live they had a lot of I don't even know what to call these useful shit paper plates Ziploc bags yeah they had like the shit that you actually might need if I was ever like oh I wonder if they have it at that gas station that motherfuck always had it yeah haven't I ever told you a crazy that place was about the weird shit that they sold I think so maybe actually like a lot of stuffed animals and games yeah no I think I've said that normal sized gas station yeah is that not that close to your house like I'm pretty sure I've been in that gas station it's a block it's like a block from my old house oh yeah yeah yeah yeah they had crazy amounts of stuff and less sports memorabilia and like crazy really niche sports memorabilia like a oil painting of like Randy Johnson or like not even all LA specific. Yeah which I do appreciate I will say that law requires memorabilia law requires we put stuffed animals as a one you cannot be buying your child a stuffed animal from the grocery store from the from the fucking gas tequila Neil oil painting is a three as far as I'm concerned okay yeah sure a shack oil painting as a not food is a fucking jack food do jack food coffee is a two to me it's why they always have it and it always sucks it's always the worst coffee I gotta tell you bro I don't know if I understand what makes bad coffee I've never in my entire life had coffee I've been like you unless it was cold yeah I mean that's fine yeah I mean some of us are more on but that's fine I'm not even a people dog I don't know everyone's so concerned with bad coffee I don't it's a functional tool what's funny to me is I don't I'm not a big coffee snob and I actually dislike a lot of really like I think blue bottle tastes bad like that and that's right I went to a blue bottle the morning before your wedding and let me tell you an unpleasant experience that would you yeah I swear to god eleven dollars for some dog coffee fucking Kate ordered a waffle that they made from scratch and it took about half the time as it did for me to get one black coffee did you get like a pour over something no I just asked for a black first of all I was like black coffee they're like drip and I was like I don't black coffee just a black small black coffee and it took I swear to god 15 minutes yeah that's tough I never did a lot of before and I will not be returning I will tell you this much but my point is the coffee at seven at a set of Lev at a wherever it just as high it just has a high variance I think like there's sometimes you get over there like some of these places not said but some of these places you go over and it's just this is a big thing they just got the pot there for you to be handling no thank you yeah the pot is nuts a lot of gas stations have that yeah you can't be trusted me with this I'm gonna hold up the gas station with that it's fucking hot glass hello danger no thank you I also here's okay here's why I don't know about this is because I don't if I was a gas station or a convenience store and I need an energy I'm not gonna go get a hot coffee yeah it's strictly kind of you grab the bull by the horns yeah dude of course you are I mean that's all I can cranberry bull by the horns baby that's gotta be a red bull has gotta be a three yeah dog it's it's just tolerable enough to drink and not get addicted to yeah and I love it for a slam you know I love it like we're on the way to me talk a lot about power coming back from the bar for me that's a going out oh we're Pat what are we passing a set well let me pop I will crush this on the fucking news before the quarter before we are even out of the light of that 7-11 fucking sign right what size you getting bro you get you forget that biggest one I can't get the big one you see the size of that fucking that's crazy people with these big energy drink like happen if you drink a whole big one your bones in your fucking muscles fuse together you get smaller you get regular I get I get regular yeah I get regular most times sometimes I'll hit the small if I know I got like something something coming up I find out it's just just kind of string me out until I can get to where I'm going also I'm being a nasty boy I might get me a Starbucks frappuccino yeah word like a dunk and donuts has those too it's just milkshakes as far as I'm concerned yeah and you know la clumb has been they're expensive as fuck but no they're not if you don't want like the fucking Starbucks of the Duncan one that is just pure sugar the la clumb ones are a little bit more and shout out high brew coffee you ever have those they're on their hands they're very good yeah okay I'm gonna say I'm gonna say ice coffee is a like I guess a hot coffee and a gazoch is fucking weird I got a two maybe a one for a not hot food I don't love any really pastry case pastries at these joints like 7-11 always got a bunch of donuts and I never want one and I've had them and I don't fuck with them you know what else sucks sometimes these fucking people have the audacity to like partner with Krispy cream oh yeah and then there's there's like a 90 day old Krispy cream in the thing yeah I fall for it most times of course you're like I'm not gonna try oh my god there's a Krispy cream where I am incredible right real quick real quick real quick not hot consumable very quite lit is Hyundai yeah yeah candy that's like I'm gonna go to that shit yeah choose your pick your poison but like that's yeah that is exactly what I'm getting half the time I don't know about you you I've been really something I've been doing I've been getting up too recently is a little gas station treat this wasn't one of my move I grew up with this move like my dad did this a lot but now I'm on to it in my later years where I'm not close to death and it's like when you're getting gas you're like well I gotta treat myself and you run into the gas station get yourself a little snicker is get yourself a little orina whatever you're gonna fucking nasty shit you are in China I don't don't okay not food like chargers and cords is it to me because they're always they suck but they are you got to begin with the minute you stick that shit in your it's insane how did you make a bad cord because they're all fake it's they work for a second and it's like wow it literally will last a week and then your toast but sometimes you need it no I don't love what you got I'm like I like in my restaurants or taco stands but like toss all the bad pork rinds bro no I won't why do you want to toss those I don't they're not good the bad ones I don't prepackaged T-charlon that I like come on four five oh five makes something pretty tasty you know what I do love is talkies I'm gonna put salty chips in not hot consumables and that's I think we can is that it generally a three we could just put like snacks okay I got more not food dude when they got sunglasses I kind of like to try them on sometimes do clothes bro sometimes they got t-shirts sometimes like in a movie if like there's like someone hiding from the cops they're gonna go in there and buy yeah that's the only people buying in Sun Hat yeah the only people buying fucking hats and gas stations or people actively avoiding the law yeah call the police if someone coming in buys an entire outfit yeah that might as well be a fucking sting operation like somebody just bought sunglasses a hat was a lot of tickets go I mean for me that's obviously three I love them shit mm-hmm it's close the two are we deciding because I do like to look at them but I'm not buying them ever yeah dog they're hilarious a lot of tickets to three to me and the sleeve scratchers all that good stuff we got not quite lit no ATM oh yeah that's a merit fucking break dog there was a book they had an ATM and when you got closely realized that it wasn't an ATM it was a big machine where you could buy Bitcoin oh my god you imagine being in a bodega looking like I could burn that place to the ground there's like a cat next to you and you're looking at this man selling loose cigarettes to somebody and you're like yeah I got to buy some Bitcoin right about now Jesus Christ oh I gotta get my blockchain going look at a blockchain is yeah I'm always open that blockchain around and Jesse from the blockchain heard it here first toys is a one to me there it's always got some way at the gas station some sad little toys there's like a little cap gun like a little hot wheel but it's off-brand but what about word or balloons okay we're gonna have an impromptu you're on your way to a barbecue and you're like you know what fucking rip at this barbecue because it's sitting right there on this job is so good the problem is there's no way those ones are gonna be good they're gonna burst can you imagine starting a water balloon fight or you're invited to you just you could before you even walk through the fucking gate you hook went over the fence just wildfire made right through the fucking wind up smash through the glass frozen okay I like them like a truck stop where they got stuff that only like truckers are people I guess like camping would buy so like showers like something like weird portable showers sometimes there's like it's like this is an air fryer that you can chop you can put you could plug into your cigarette lighter it's like what what I do like that that sounds gross I kind of like it I just like to look at I never buy much of clothes I'm just here to see bro what about when there's a fast food chain inside a convenience store it's a two to me it's kind of an interesting way to shake things up it is but it's in there and you're like oh interesting I did not know I could also get an egg make muffin yes and that you do a little chef's pairing maybe you grab yourself a little starby frappuccino you get yourself a little eggy muff and a you know an egg salad sandwich to wash it all down that to me your reaction of oh interesting is exactly why it's a two because it's never it's never like oh sick there's a there's a fucking Duncan in this I'll give you that collab with chain restaurant the other thing about that is like we went to a Duncan once that was in a gas station and it was like I think that's a franchise is so it had like half of the Duncan menu and the place was a dank mess I gotta tell you as even more so than a regular weapon I have another not food thing you know how like the would you say that what's the ratio because my head is like 85% that inconvenient stores and 7-11 is incredibly guilty of this we're like the place where you get your like your napkins your forks your cups maybe for the fountain soda is a complete disaster zone the floor has never been stick here and just because napkins are everywhere there's fucking one straw and it's open what's up with that why is that so normal clean your ship you know so there's this thing down here in the south called buckies yeah oh yeah people buckies buckies whole thing is that they're clean they're immaculately clean that's an insane thing but I do like that yeah and like it's like they're they're slogan is like cleanest restrooms in the US and what yeah bro and guess what they're fucking spotless wow and the whole place is clean and there's a million of them so is that the three buckies yeah okay I'm gonna get myself a hat a little beaver yeah the people love that mascot I mean we know somebody that just moved to the south and she's all over it she's going to be a damn yeah I'd be going to bookies to pee if I needed to we didn't talk about it but a fountain soda I mean that's a three obviously it's found so there's never gonna be a lesson of three correct you know I don't think I've ever gotten one me neither but I love that the options there yeah all right I don't think I'll ever I don't think I'll ever see myself going to get a fountain soda like a 7-Eleven I agree with you and it's weird because they're better than bottles and right but I'm absolutely consistently buying like oh yeah I'll get a doctor pepper or whatever if I'm on a road trip why would I not get a doctor pepper from the fucking fountain we gotta change our life dude shout out shout out shout out Casa de Futa yeah I mean that is a that whole zone is tough to describe it's more like a market I guess that place they have all the shit they got candy in a soda counter and right right right right yeah okay I like that uh not food I feel like this is another truck stop special sometimes I got knives I don't love that we think about that oh yeah yeah I've seen that it's probably not for the best I do like looking at the zippos I'm gonna give that a two if you're right with that I like I'll peruse that little zippo thing if I'm waiting for somebody to make a way to burrito or whatever what do you think about the last chance rack I eat the thing that's right in front of it the checkout oh there's like a there's like an additional amount of like certain snacks that are in the shelves it's actually little fuck are the M&Ms in this place oh well I'm gonna go to the front you're like oh they're right I already pick something else and I don't even want them anymore but here they are yeah that's me sometimes I kind of don't love it because I'm a big I like a gum and gum is always living over there so I don't and it's like if I'm never gonna get gum because of that and I have to stand in front of this guy who's like are you ready and I'm like I look I'm making big gum decisions right now so I'm gonna say the last chance rack is a long to be honestly fuck it I'm glad we're in agreement on that oh I have a I have a one for sure bro why did and I think that they've kind of moved away from it maybe Kobe did it but never like every like gas station convenience store had like a fucking bulk bin of jerky that you could like pull out with tongs what do you don't talk about like you would get to the cash register you get to the cash register and there'd be like a little plastic bin that had like four different types of jerky in it hold on let me I don't know how to go to this fuck you're talking about I'm a big jerk head though
