This week's episode of the Wild Card Podcast is brought to you by Northwest Orient Airlines. Northwest Orient Airlines. Skyjagger Friendly since 1971. Northwest Orient Airlines.
We fly everywhere. But the Orient. God, that is horribly offensive. Welcome to the Wild Card Podcast.
I'm your host, Jerdeen, and my co-pilots on this journey to whatever are my good friends, Jeff Curtis. Hello! And the man who... Jeff?
Well, the control panel is dead. Nothing's working. Okay, boys, I'm going to need you to listen real close. I've placed a bomb in this podcast.
You mean this podcast is the bomb? It's bombing, all right? Now, nobody's going to get hurt if you guys do exactly what I say. Once my demands are met, you can have a podcast back.
It's that easy. We understood it. We understood it. We do.
Good. You do it just fine, fella. What are these demands? The first thing I want is whatever 1971's equivalent of $200,000 is...
And how the hell are we supposed to know that? $1,185,219.75. How did... Never mind.
Next, I want a pirate ship. Waiting for me at the docks. What docks? I feel like you could be losing focus.
No, no, no, no, no. We're home dinner. We're listening. We're listening.
Here's the rest of the list. You guys should be writing this now. We're ready. Give me a break.
What was that? Give me a break. Break me off a piece of that kit. Okay, I want seven out of here.
Go hands. I want a yellow foot. I'm trying to get this down. I don't want a president to be there.
How can you put a bomb in the podcast? I want a podcast. I want a podcast. I want a podcast.
In the podcast. It is a podcast. He said there's a bomb. I want a podcast.
What is that? One scientist to figure out a way to better. No, actually literally. What do we say?
You want to give him his demands? I want to keep him to reclaim pay the skins. You fellas listening? My button thumb's getting itchy now.
We're listening. I want the next season. I want the next season. And I want the next one.
It's all about the bomb. It's all about the bomb. The bomb is where I'm out. In the podcast.
With him there. I want something to live it. I want something to live itchy. I want something to live itchy now.
I want something to live itchy now. You have to know who you are. Jeff. Jeff.
Jeff. You know that wasn't a parachute, right? I tried to tell him. You're on the ground floor.
Jeff are you okay? I believe I requested a boo fan. Just don't start the show! Well, then, once again, to the Wild Card Podcast.
I'm your host, Jerdine, and my co-pilots on this journey to her ever are my good friends, Jeff Curtis. Still hello. And R.A. Blair.
High-jacking this podcast for two years now. I'll not be high. I won't do it anymore. I promise.
I'm just pointing this out. Ron and Dan both have three letters in them. Isn't that crazy? Ron Blair.
Yeah. That's me. That's you. Hi, everybody.
And you are the one that for some reason, we encourage this important task of letting people know what the podcast is all about. I'll tell you what this podcast is not about, Dee Dee Cooper. Yeah, more. That was true.
That was what last week's talk. That's what it is now. Now, before we get to the favorite section. Yeah.
I was kind of surprised. Oh, this was a surprise for me. Oh. That was shared with me that I'm going to share with you.
We'll be surprised and enjoy this as well. Deckhead. Yeah. Jake Richardson.
Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Other deckheads. Oh, Emily and Drake, and Blake.
Our great nemesis. Oh, Drake. All the great. All the great.
And Blake and Emily. We're all at the Lexington Comic Con on Friday. Yes. I think my understanding is that Drake and Blake has an extra ticket that they gifted to Emily and Jake.
Right. And while they were there, Jake got me a couple posters. Oh, one was a video game character I particularly love it. Not a video game character I particularly love it.
Not a video game character I particularly love it. Oh, that was fun. It's a wonderful thing to show on an audio format. Yeah.
But Ron destroyed this for a second. Sean holding a pineapple doing his classic, having a vision sort of pose. And then Gus is behind him like James Bond with a gun up in the air. He's profile.
It's a water pistol. It looks like water pistol. And there's a name tag. There's a name tag.
It's color of mine. And his gust TT show is marked out. Shoot me. You turn Singleton marked out.
Hummingbird, sultilamakki marked out and then magic head. The funny thing is you were reading that upside down well. And I'm reading it from the side. I'm a teacher.
So I'm constantly wrong. I'm on the table. That's right. I'm excited with this site powers and the bill to the fact that he knows every name of every episode of Spanish, I would just like to congratulate our 20 listeners for the two years that they spent.
This is actually our two year anniversary today. And you're welcome. And so we'd thank all 20 of you. And as a gift for all 20 people, we will continue the part now that is will do something that takes your every hour.
Episode 90 when me we've average 45 a year. Fine. Almost once a week. We've been once a week for a long time, but there was a time where we were not.
There was a hiatus that we went through. A couple weeks off here in there. We were like every two weeks, every three weeks, so we can start. So we kind of pick it up.
And then we pick it up. And then we could do a lot of shows. And then we could do any more for a couple of us. You know, I'll stop you guys right there because I know we can talk all day.
I know Jeff has a topic, but I also think our favorite stage is going to take a little bit of time. Oh, better get into it. So, what month is it? It's March.
It's March. And what is March probably best known for? The Ides of March. Nope.
It's not Patrick's Day. What is going on right now? None of us really care about a lot, but approach everyone else. Oh, March madness.
It's about talking about that. Because we don't care about basketball. No, we don't. Let's talk about something we do care about.
And by we, I mean me and Ron. Yeah, I'll talk about basketball. Oh, fast food. We have talked about fast food a lot on here, but let's do a fast food bracket.
Oh, okay. How does this work? I've got a fast food bracket. I'm going to talk through it.
Look at that. All right. Did you do a lot of work on that? I did make an episode.
I thought we'll talk quickly. So, we've got four regions. Our first region. The number one seed versus number eight seed.
We have Subway versus in and out burger. You know what? I've never had an out burger, but I've had Subway. So I'm choosing in and out burger.
Exactly. I'm going to go in the subway. In and out. The 8 beats the 1 seed.
All right. Next, I've actually had these two. I've had these two. The 5 versus the 4 match up.
We have churches chicken versus Panda Express. I'm not a fan of Panda Express, but I'm going with Panda Express. I have had churches chicken and Panda Express. All right.
Next one I think one more to say about. Sax V's is the number 6 seed going up against the number 3 seed sonic drive-in. Oh my God. I was exactly.
I was exactly. It's so hard for me to choose XV. I've seen them at their height and I've seen what they became like the last few months. The one here at the 9X Solid.
I think it's the last few weeks have been awful for that place. I don't either. I prefer Sax V's over a sonic. Every time I go to Sonic, I want to like it.
But the buzz may be OK. I like the beverages. The mediumers are good. But it's not fast food.
If you go there, it's making them to be quick. They're not going to be quick about it. And for me, I get hot dogs or tots or something like that. And I always think, hmm, hot dogs and tots.
The tots are never sold. I was really excited about that. They're a little too oily. That's the last time at Sonic where I go, hmm, yeah.
Is when I'm thinking about how good it could be. If you want to shake. It's a good place to go. Straight for shake.
Yes. Yeah. Okay. Next up, the final in this region.
We have checkers and rallies is the seven seed. But they're the same thing. Well, it's what checkers slash rallies. Oh, checkers slash rallies.
Going up against the two seed, Hardy is slash Carl Jr. Checkers. Yeah. I think every one of those was an upset.
I think the only one that advanced that was not an upset. I just had Hardy said I'm comfortable with the choice that we've made. Okay. Next region.
Go over to Burger King. Going up against to somehow this made it in here. Yeah. Steak and shake.
Then do you have a drive through? They do have a drive through. Where'd you rather Burger King or Steak and shake? I've never had Steak and shake milk shake.
I've never had regular. I like the food. But the one here in town is maybe the worst restaurant ever. Yeah.
It's horrible. The one I grew up with was fantastic. And they have milts. So I get like my hamburger millet, patty milk.
I love that. I like their fries a lot and a lot of occasions. The chili is wonderful. I would take a Steak and shake over here.
I like Burger King. Oh man, Burger King is like old faithful. I can always count them. I'm going with Burger King.
Burger King. Yeah. First I'll first see you going through. Next up, the 5C versus the 4C.
Long John Silver's versus Chick-fil-A. Long John Silver's. Long John Silver's. Chick-fil-A.
Yeah, I don't like seafood. I don't like seafood. I don't like seafood. And I'm going Chick-fil-A.
I fucking like it. I'm not saying I don't avoid Chick-fil-A. I'm just saying I'm the two. I'll pick the anti-gay restaurant before I eat fish.
Before I eat fish. You're goddamn fish. Another match up I have no opinion on number six seed firehouse subs going up against number three seed Jack-in-the-box. I love firehouse subs.
I don't care for us. I've never had Jack-in-the-box though, so I can't vote against. I would vote Jack-in-the-box. Guys, eat their once.
And I don't eat subs. So I have one Jack-in-the-box, one firehouse subs. You got to bring that up to me. I got to go with Jack-in-the-box because I don't like firehouse.
The one time I had him, I went, oh, this is what we paid for. That's great. Another one you guys left this side because I don't like. I thought I'd go there.
I thought that was you too. That's probably the two seven match up. Number seven Del Taco and number two Taco Bell. I've never had Del Taco Bell.
I haven't either. I'm almost willing to go Del Taco just to be opposed to Taco Bell, though. I don't like tacos. They've angered me recently as well.
Taco Bell has. Yeah. All right, I'll go with it. Yeah, let's go.
That was the seven seed. All right, next match up. The one seed McDonald's. Right.
I don't like guys. Number eight seed White Castle. White Castle. White Castle.
I don't eat McDonald's. I like McDonald's, but I like White Castle. White Castle is special place. I don't really have an upsell.
White Castle is the eight seed. Wow, McDonald's got knocked out. I think so. I think so.
I think so. I think so. I think so. I'd be very fantastic.
I'm not going to go Popeyes. I'm not going to go Popeyes. They sell pretzels. That's what I like about it.
They're like, look at us. I like French chicken, but we got food trucks. I'm interested in all the interesting magic. We have Sivarro as a six seed going up against Arby's the three seed.
I'm going to go Arby's. Oh, man. I eat Arby's all the time. I love Sivarro.
I'm going to Sivarro. Wow. Wow. No, I'm upset.
I'm not upset. And the final match up in this bracket, this section is the number seven Cinnabon going up against number two Dairy Queen. Cinnabon. I don't like breakfast.
I don't like breakfast. They're going to go Dairy Queen. Their breakfast is okay. Even their ice cream.
Yeah. I like breakfast. They used to have a chicken farm sandwich over there doing the riser terrible. I'm going to go with Sivarro.
It would have been a better match. Sivarro will get the end. That would have been a better competition. Well, there's a lot of rules.
Well, here's the right. There's a lot of locations there are worldwide. Gotcha. So the ones he's the one who's the most.
The eighties. Our final region. We're just a slave to the system. Our final region.
The number one C. The number one C in this region is KSC. The number eighties is Colters. Oh, I like Colters better than the...
I didn't grow up with Colters. I didn't grow up with Colters. I know it's really popular. It's really popular with people who are familiar with KFC.
The one I've known in love with. Colters is fine. The current one is our first podcast. The current one will go with the live KFC.
The patrons say the podcast. Sit around. That's another one I have no opinion on. Number five C Quiznos.
Number four C Panera Bread. I'll go with the Panera Bread. Quiznos never impressed me either. The next one is the Paneera Bread.
Here's one that I think we'd tough for you guys if you've had both of you. The six C Jersey Mikes going up against the three C Jimmy Jones. They're both some places. I'll go with Jersey Mikes because I don't like Jimmy Jones.
I've never had either. I'm going with Jimmy Jones. Trust me, a contrarian. I want to go with Jimmy Jones.
They're not great. I have a question. Our final question is from that show. I can see anyone here who has had a water burger.
That's the seven C. No, but I've heard great things. I like Wendy's. I like Wendy's.
I don't know if Wendy's. That's the first one. That's the first one. Yeah.
That was the first one that I have. If it's a Dorothy doing Burger King and McDonald's or Wendy's, I probably pick Wendy's on that one. But we don't make the rule. Second round.
We don't make the rule. Second round. In and out Burger versus Panda Express. In and out Burger.
Have you had it? I still had I do this. I want to go Panda Express because I like them. Yeah.
In and out Burger. In and out Burger goes on. I prefer Burgers over to the Elite Age Chinese boots. Wow.
You're not going to touch up. That's the six versus the seven. We have Japanese versus rallies. Rallys?
Right. I like both. I know problems. I think we can't understand how God be a mad I am exactly.
I've been laughing three times. I'm so mad at them. I think I'll be quick with you guys. Burger King versus Long John Silvers.
Cover King versus Jerky. You literally said Burger King is like over live. I love long-dons. I haven't had long-dons for this time.
But I used to go, like, it was a special place for me when I was again, so I'm gonna go long-dons for this time. Long-dons? Long-dons wins! We have one secret place that's more exciting.
I'm more excited about this than I am. Okay. No, let's just as excited as you and as you got this, right? We're three-seat Jack-in-the-box.
We're going up against number seven-seat Delfaco. Well, I have no dog in this hunt. I have an In-the-Jack-in-the-box. I'm the re-nager.
Jack-in-the-box has like, burgers, and tacos, and breakfast, and steak, and all of everything. Well, that sounds like a cod. Damn, nightmare. I'll go Jack-in-the-box.
I'll go Jack-in-the-box. I don't know. I can't go down this one. You have to, because I'm taking Jack-in-the-box seat-in-the-box.
You have to sit down. Oh, well, I'm going Jack-in-the-box. I'm going Jack-in-the-box. Hey, I don't want Jack-in-the-box to win, though, because make up your mind.
Make up your mind Jack-in-the-box. I'll pick Delfaco. Okay, because Jack-in-the-box is friend. Too many things.
I don't think they're all about it. All right, except. $10 billion. Whatever!
I love Wicasso. I love Wicasso. I'm no bounce around through it. Next up and this one's easy for me to buy.
The 16 Subaro, the 17th Cebarro. I'm gonna lose it. I knew it. Which is Adrian lent.
I don't have strong opinions about Cebarro, though. Next up. The only one format shot. The only one where both of the favorites advance.
This whole thing. KFC versus Penera. Penera. Yeah, I'm going Penera.
I love the suit. I don't like the other bite. They are incredibly overpriced, but the avoic turkey avoicado BLT is so good. Actually, all four of the topsy's advance in this bottom right bracket was, And then the next matchup was the three versus the two, Jimmy John's versus Wendy's.
Now, there we go. So which one is it? Oh, Wendy's. Yeah, I like Wendy's.
All right. All right. Elite eight. Our elite eight.
All right. Back to our first. We're going to do this as a final four. We're going to get into rallies.
Rally. I got to go rallies. Go on and on. All right.
Next region where the winner of this region is going to be Long John's slivers and Delfaco. Long John's slivers. Okay. I'm not going to Long John no matter what you guys say.
God, you know they have chicken strips there too, man. Okay. So we do chicken and shrimp and clap. But it smells like this.
Oh, I love that smell. They're breading. No, crumbs a little. Oh, crumbs.
Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Back to the bottom. Two more.
You need to go to New Dancer or Final Four. We have the eight seed White Castle versus the six seed Svaro. Svaro. Go to White Castle.
I have to go to White Castle here. I'm sorry, Svaro. I'm going to stand on the ramparts of White Castle. Win them all later.
Great run. For White Castle. Final four. Yeah.
This is Panera the four seed versus Wendy's the two seed. Wendy's easily. Yeah. I'm going to Wendy's.
I would choose Panera over Wendy's but I have no problem with Wendy's. Okay. The five seed long John Silver's, the eight seed White Castle and the two seed Wendy's. Wow.
So going to the championship, seven seed rallies versus the five seed long John Silver's. This is the last one. This is going to the rallies versus long John Silver's. I'll take rallies here.
All right. Well, let's go. It's fun. Yeah.
That's a good fish. Yeah. Rally's has incredible fries. Yeah.
They also have digestive issues. Well, long John Silver's mess is me. Oh, yeah. Long John Silver's mess is me.
Oh, yeah. Long John Silver's mess is me. Right. And our other going to the championship match.
White Castle the eight seed versus Wendy's Wendy's the two seed. They were next to each other. Why would you go away? I would go to Wendy's more often.
You know, I cast all the special ways in the heart. Oh, well, I can't believe we're down to Wendy's versus rallies. Yeah. Yeah.
This makes it easy for me though. This is the championship match up. Rally's the seven seed versus Wendy's the two seed. Wendy's Wendy's.
All right. And our winner is Wendy's. Wendy's is the champion of restaurants. Who would have thought nobody would have ever thought that so the other's over Wendy's.
But Wendy's. Wendy's a fan. That's what happens to me. Right.
Right. But the most important three people voting is what it is. That's what it is. That's great.
All right. Yeah. That was our favorite battle. That was madness.
That was madness. That was madness. That was madness. I absolutely love that.
I absolutely love that. No, not a fast one. Like a different thing. I had another one that I think was too much.
That one we had. Usually there's like 16 and each. Some like best video games or best amusement parks. I think that would be the way to go with this group.
Let's do the goddamn show. All right, Jeff. It is a Jeff. It is a Jeff.
It is a Jeff. I'm along Jeff to a episode. Read us all report today. I want to point out that this is one of my thinner stacks of paper.
This is one of my thinner friends. Oh, thank you. Sure. I have a lot of fat friends.
Don't thank me. All right. That's true. We're all buying your people.
All right. That's right. You ever said I'm with your friends going, this is the fannest group of motherfuckers I have ever said in my life. I know.
You have all people to hear it? No. That's not what I think about regularly. I understand.
Okay. Here's my first question. I'm starting out with questions. Yay.
We'll see how well you do with these. Okay. If you were to design an impregnable fortress for the ancient world, I mean, before gunpowder or airplanes, what would it look like? Oh, man.
Imprechnable fortress. So we're going up against really. What is our, what are we trying to keep out people? The Turks.
I think the Turks. Trying to keep out the climbing. Or that. Whoever you imagine your enemy is going to be.
How are you going to keep them out? They might have catapults. Do they have catapults? Is it a tree gunpowder?
So they would have a trip to J or a catapults. And they could light the rocks on fire and shoot at the castle. Well, I think I would like it. I would be on an island.
Well, see, I like the idea of an island mine would be up on the mountain like Vlad. And sort of on a ledge on a cliff. So that I will hang up there. How do I get to it?
I fly in. I'm hell, no, no. There are no airplanes. There is no gunpowder.
This is ancient fortress. No, it's on three sides. It's on a cliff. And then the one side.
There's only one entrance. You come through the winding road on your carriage. Yeah. You're cheering up into this mountain.
The cherry with no driver. Is what the stage coach is like. He's not there. And I'm in the stage co-op.
I'm like, drive on. Let's get to the castle. And there's no answer because he's not there. Okay.
He's like, get to the cross. I'm going to have lasers. No. But I can't have lasers.
This is ridiculous. This is the dumbest section. This is a bad idea. I think like a 100 battle up a mountain pass entrance.
So you're not gonna be able to get siege weapons. Now, we have to be like an army marching up against you. So, I'm just think of brick walls. They can't catapult me, they don't have enough room on the road.
I'm not going to put out letters up against you brick wall and climbing over. with this elephant. Right. Yeah.
See, elephants would be an issue. We have archers. Oh, you know what I would do? I would have spikes.
I would have spikes on the front of my castle. One very common thing. So when they try to climb it, they would tell themselves. Yeah.
When they've got the crannellated, you know, crannellated means it's like the top of a castle where it's like, oh, hey, it's just cut out for the archers. Like the turrets or a chirp. Or poor oil. Yeah, the pouring the oil.
That's always a fun trick. So what? Or cheese. They're on an island, meaning that they would have to take a boat to get to you.
Yeah. What's going to stop them once they get there? That's a secret for just that nobody knows about that. So you said before going on.
Yeah. No one knows where it is. All right. So here's my second question.
What would you need to withstand a siege by attacking force? So you're being attacked. How are you going to withstand a siege? Wait, are we modern time?
No. Okay. I don't know. It's previous.
I have to get ships. No. It has to be naval. I don't know.
I don't know. It's previous. It's previous. It has to be naval.
I thought I never thought that. And they can finish trying to get a bolt on the boats. Yeah. It's the thing that used to do that.
So they could surround your castle. Fire arrows. Well, that'll help. Yeah, you bring the boats down.
Okay. How are you doing with stand a siege? What? With great applause.
Okay. Let me put the glass in style. They decide they're not going to climb your walls. Yeah.
They're going to spikes. They're just going to stay there until you start to death. Oh, yeah. Oh, well, I send out my oracle.
No, they don't work out. Oh, you know what I do. Okay. Check this shit out.
I'm going to go ahead and get a little bit of a fight. So you know, you got to go up the mountain, get side windy. And on the sides of the mountain, I put a little mortar, like brick. Okay.
I put a little brick enough to guide boulders that I send down from the castle and as it rolls down, it crushes them. So they have to stay in your little path for your boulder path. Because this is quite its wind. It's hard enough to mountain.
So that's very easy. Yeah. Thank you. That's about an island.
