The guys need to try AMC's branded microwave popcorn. The extra butter version is as close to the actual stuff in the theater as you can possibly get.
Collins Reynolds
Undergoing the burger count with some coworkers (not a contest) and had one try to argue that hamburger helper should count for at least three burgers, and had a whole ass argument prepared as to why. Absolutely unhinged the gaming of the system that's going on.
Neo_Baggins
Im late but you can definitely buy boneless chicken thighs I know because I thought I was getting bone in thighs to smoke but got boneless by accident.
Neo_Baggins
Don’t you remember when Boba Tea fell in the Snorlax pit in Return of the Fart Ninjas?
Joe
People need to stop agreeing with Andrew so much on these insane takes even if you are not buying a drink your paying more for the delivery or gas to get popcorn at a theater
MandaBear
Price wise, AMC sells a to-go mega bag that's huge and a reasonable price since you're buying so much. They pack it in a big plastic back like you buy ice in... but like 2 feet long
Luke Elliott
Salt on tomatoes is legit. I haven't tried it on watermelon yet though.
Jeb Bush
did anyone else hear Andrew say snorlax while they were talking about the boneless pizza???
Haylee Flight
Listen. Gavin is British. The Brits hate flavour! At the same time though, water is the most delicious. People that say water tastes like nothing blow my mind. It's so sad they don't taste how lovely water is!
Manik Mouse
We need a series of gavin learns how to cook american food he's never tried
Hayley Knoph
It's even easier at warehouses with outdoor food courts!
Hayley Knoph
I work at Costco and can attest that many people head to the food court first before shopping and take food and drinks around the warehouse. We do prefer for you to use the front door so we can get more accurate membership counts, and then head through self checkout to get to the food court. Literally no employee is bothered if you're trying to get through to your $0.89 soda.

Andrew: "I've tried everything, but I can't make movie theater popcorn at home, it's impossible." Audience and NEGG: "Have you tried using the universally accepted ingredient according to the instructions on the package?" Andrew, continuing to bury his head in the sand: "It's just impossible you guys got a pay for the delivery"
SpriggleWiggle
I need a soundboard of Geoff swears so that I can enjoy every bingo game I ever play
MaplexSyrup
You put the popcorn oil, popcorn seeds and flavicol and cook it till it pops
MaplexSyrup
Working at a movie theater when I was younger, people often came in to buy popcorn and leave, or though would watch a movie and the and buy more popcorn on the way out.
SassyKat
as a primary choice drinker of water enjoyer and a fan of bland things specifically, im also a foodie and can attest that youre capable of enjoying the minute differences in food despite liking those things more. the enjoyment of those things are not mutually exclusive of flavor development and enjoyment of taste....long story short continue hammering that little freak until we get to the bottom of this >:c

Late to the party, but my mom salts watermelon and tomatoes.

I love the pinball talk, it takes me back. When I was in college, back in the early 1970s, I was the manager of the student center. At the student center we had six bowling alleys, four pool tables, two ping pong tables, and six pinball machines. Every month the company switched out one of the pinball machines, but I had to empty the quarters and include them with the cash out from the day's other activities. I've got some great memories of that place including many, many hours of pinball. I met my first wife there. When I went back for my 50th reunion last year it was sad to see that it had all been remodeled and everything was gone. Still I can close my eyes and hear the ringing bells and clacking flippers. Pure joy.
Brian Burkhardt
This may seem obvious, but if you guys go to a sensory deprivation tank, do NOT get the water in your eyes.
Anthony Dewitt
For the Costco hack, which I agree is a hack, I guess Texas only has indoor food courts. Honestly, I might do it more often even with the usual killer lines. This episode had Gavin be the Andrew for a bit, which was great to see lol. people who do that with popcorn are weirdos but it a weirdness that isn't really harming anybody else.

I work in an Australian supermarket and we had those Fart Ninjas in stock for a while. They're evil things that fart whenever something passes in front of them. Absolutely made for Geoff. Because they're motion activated, that meant you would set them off if you move them or walk past them. If I saw one in the wrong place, it stayed there, because I wasn't gonna be the one walking around with a fart soundboard going off and my name badge on. For a week or two we had a meter-tall stand of them separate from the toy section, something like 20 of the things all piled up facing the same spot. I'd path cages around the area just to not set them off. On the upside, I got to watch several unsuspecting customers and a coworker shit themselves at the sudden cacophony of low bitrate farts right next to their side.
Megan
As with Eric, the Costco "hack" for soda is the only way to do it.
TheReal Jokerboy
It’s normal to go to the movies to get popcorn and leave
Drew
I used to work at a small local theater where a large popcorn is 11 dollars and a garbage bag full of popcorn is like 25 bucks. Every night we would have a good 5 people who would come in and just get a tub of popcorn. The secret is in the oil you pop it with. Refined coconut oil or peanut oil with a teaspoon or 2 of flavacol will give you the taste you are looking for. Either do a whirlypop or a stir crazy if you don't have a regulation popcorn machine because the seeds should be moving. As for the flavacol after popping, it's totally normal for people to ask for it, but you need to do like a dusting over it and then shake it into the bucket/bowl. That being said, I make some killer popcorn at home with my stir crazy just using avocado oil and sea salt.
Ryan Pattison
Omg classic Andrew with the Flavacol lol
Ryan Pattison
Yeah you can make some really good wings at home with basically no effort. Buy wings, cut them to separate the wings from the drums, air fry for like 20-25 minutes until cooked and crispy shaking them every so often to ensure an even cook, make a sauce in a pan with 2 parts hot sauce 1 part butter and like a tablespoon of honey (the honey is optional and perfect ratios aren't critical, you'll have a good sauce pretty much no matter what), toss wings in sauce, eat. Blue cheese optional (but not ranch).
Maddie
Nuggets are made from chicken breast which have no bones?
Jakob Grand
I love Andrew calling out “Snorlax” when talking about the bones of a pizza, clearly referring to the sarlac pit - not even a minute later making fun of Gavin for boneless wings 🤣
Drew
If Geoff invents it, he could call it "The G-Bone DeBone Ray"
Zack Chastain
Andrew always finds the path of least resistance to accomplish a goal and then whatever path he discovers is now the only path he will follow to accomplish that goal, even if it's completely inefficient or he understands makes little sense, because he knows it works. Gavin always finds the most efficient path. He re-evaluates his decisions constantly to see if there was a better way to do something, even if he's at 95% efficiency he's going to try and find more efficiency if he can. Two diametrically opposed worldviews, and pure comedy podcast gold every time.
Zack Chastain
I make movie theater popcorn at home. The machine I use was $200, which is about as expensive as it comes for home. A large popcorn at the Alamo is $10. So if you skip 20 popcorns, you can buy the machine to make it yourself. Flavacol, oil, kernels. Done.
Kin-Ho Ma
They do know nuggets are made from deboned chicken right?
Kailey Contreras
I listened to this one in the tub🛁🫧
SomeDumbCat
Andrew claims he has done everything he can do replicate movie theater popcorn yet he hadn't even read the flavacol instructions...
TheReal Jokerboy
Got those fart ninjas it’s not worth it. They are small sensor in them and if you pass them they make a fart sound so pathetic
Packie Shepard
Lmao I heard that too.
BroZillaDilla
Did Andrew call the Star Wars Sarlacc the Pokemon Snorlax? Ha

I would like to propose a Wing tracker, I started on Jan 1 this year and am currently sitting at 397 wings this calendar year
FellDown
Andrew pronounces Toronto like a true Canadian, not a T to be heard.
Dalyce Farnan
In Drag bingo they make fun little jokes with certain balls/numbers!
Blues_ Clewes
Did Gavin forget about the AH popcorn machine, or did he truly never interact with it?
Elliot Stafford
Gavin talking about seeing invisible stuff made me think of this video o saw recently from MIT where scientists were able to show individual photons moving through space, with video of photons entering a water bottle. Very cool https://youtu.be/EtsXgODHMWk?si=k0FGUoMDX1aHDeeh

Getting the ball monitored is the worse!!!!!

If Gavin gets confused by the idea of boneless wings, then no one should tell him about how Ohio Court system ruled that boneless wings dont need to be bone free.
Eric Williams
Flavacol and butter flavor coconut oil is the way to go for homemade popcorn.
Will
Movie theater by me does a 2 gallon bag of popcorn for $10. I regularly will get it and then go home and watch a movie at home. Its phenomenal
Connor F
Gavin needs to make wings before he has them. Just so he can butcher them lol.
BonemanZ
Movie theaters now are selling just bags of premade popcorn to take home with you. This is absolutely a thing people do just because they love movie theater popcorn.
Folds2008
Gavin could buy me a popcorn maker if he wants
TheDrMouse
Pretty sure you can buy those at Costco

Literally put salt and pepper on a cut tomato 🍅 this morning.

Can we get Megs take on this season less Gavin life style because its mind blowing.

10 year Costco employee here, no one cares if you cut through line as long as you don’t take unpaid merchandise through. They look because we aren’t allow to have non members in the store at all anymore
Chaz Surfboard
There's a guy who 3D printed a tray for Costco snacking on the go and I think it would change Geoff's life.
Adam Chwalik
Can someone seed find the gameplay footage
ComradeCrazylegs
Geoff should bring Albert to the office and let him play with Andrew. Then once Dillbot is chomped to bits you can put the guts into a better RC.
Kyle Oldham
I was anti-gavin on the initial food conversation, but couldn't be more on his side about popcorn. Popcorn is 1, ass, and 2, cheap as fuck to make. Buying popcorn at all makes no sense to me, but popcorn for more than a dollar? Absolutely not
Jonathan Williams
Andrew says Gavin is Pro eyes, anti tongue… this is the same guy who suggested getting a cleaning tongue for his butt
Matt Mahler
The Minecraft background!!
ComradeCrazylegs
He can see all the frames, but taste none of the flavors.

Gavin invested all his skill points in eyes and none in tongue.

Geoff, I've been doing the Costco soda hack for years. I'm also a free refill connoisseur. I check in the front, cut through the checkout line, get a soda, go backwards though self checkout despite the dirty looks from employees, and shop. I repeat at least twice a shopping trip and get a top off on the way out. Fuck em.
Eoin
Water does taste Geoff
Slim
I worked at a movie theater for a year and a half and as a manager I needed to learn everything, best popcorn can be made like this: 1. Add a teaspoon of olive oil before kernels. 2. Add kernels then a table spoon of that special salt (it’s really bad for you if you add it after, a manager would have to come over and warn the guest and then okay it if they wanted it extra on the side) 3. Wait till some of the popcorn starts popping out of the top to then tip it over. Fresh movie theater popcorn that can be replicated at home (I have tried and succeeded!! Enjoy all who read this
Sam
Love some cherry pie and a cup of coffee.

I take back my S&P comment. You can use it on all savory items. Cereal in my mind is a sweet dish.
Tyler Achey
"I don't know anything about taste" might be the most British thing I've heard from Gav

I have a friend who Uber Eats movie theatre popcorn.. quite a psychopathic financial decision

Joseph Sierra
Orville redenbacher corn, butter flavored coconut oil and flavacol, this is how we made the AMC popcorn, you can play with the measurements. I used a little extra oil myself. Its what makes it more yellow. -former AMC kitchen manager
The Silent Taco
That flavor salt stuff we put it in the kettle when we put the corn seed in.
The Silent Taco
I worked at a movie theater for about 11 years and there are people who came in for their own movie night or game night and just bought our popcorn because they loved it better. We had our concessions area before the tickets got ripped so it was easier to come in to get it and go. We also gave out a bunch to a local boys and girls club for their movie day.
Illien
If you have an AMC classic you can get the refillable popcorn bucket and get it filled for $6
Blake Rook
Eric's Vox was a bit boomy in the low end on this one.

give Andrew hell for calling the sarlacc a snorlax. Never forget this crime

You know what everything with 40 grams of sugar have In common. They taste overly sweet. Like what kind of thing covered in piss would andrew like?

What a coincidence I'm pulling into a Costco parking lot as geoff says he went to Costco. I find this hilarious
Eric Lozano
Aren't we supposed to have a schedule out for this week already?
M. Michael Metcalf
This is the most Andrew Gavin has ever been
brikbeans
I have heard of people doing this at cost co.
Cob
I remember seeing a clip of Eric talking about the popcorn thing on that show. He said everybody but one person on this podcast agreed it was weird. I assumed the one person was Nick, because he’s a food freak. I should have guessed it was Andrew
Geoff Robinder
That and geoff's "sauce them before you cook them" take is crazy, that might work with baking but even then it's so much better to lightly season then bake then sauce. And if you're doing fried wings if you sauce them before hand you'll just end up with gloopy mess in your fryer and extremely mediocre wings. This whole episode was a mess of horrible food takes
Marco aka SillyFaceZero!
Holy fuck Andrew asking Gavin how he felt about salt and pepper almost made me crash, I had to pull over on the highway
Daniel Hodder
Gavin's gotta be bullshitting about his taste stuff. He says he doesn't like sugar but imports all kinds of chocolate bars and drinks Big Red
Mirsab Ali
Minecraft?
Gina Whaley
Our theater in town use to have on the marquee "pop in for some popcorn" and during covid they did drive by popcorn sales to help them stay afloat, it was pretty awesome. Also, my manager buys the bring in for cheaper refills bucket every year and then like once a week her and her husband drive to the theater to get it filled
Tristan Fraser
Geoff taking all the girls out to bingo in a regular basis is the most wholesome thing I’ve heard in a while

You want boneless ribs? Take a half rack of pork ribs, whatever seasoning or bbq sauce, and throw that shit in a slow cooker. If the meat doesn’t melt off the bone, get a new slow cooker.
Mr Lopo
Did Gavin became Andrew?
Kindyno
I worked at Costco, we didnt care if people are while walking, we didn't like when people left their trash in the aisle.
Slendy
I love the background for this episode
spectorpanzers
Andrew should get an air popper. They are cheap and small and he could fit it in his bathroom
LilJZ
My bf loves popcorn and often makes stovetop popcorn with this special pot. He also has flavacol and although his popcorn is way better than microwave popcorn, it’s still not quite the same as getting popcorn from a movie theater. The guys are right, there’s just something different about movie theater popcorn.
Josh
Not sure if Geoff will see this, check out this guys Costco set up - sounds ideal for you and Emily! https://www.tiktok.com/@photogami/video/7544398980482895159
The Ghostlight Rook
Yeah, when everyone was saying you couldn’t get a deboned thigh, I was thinking you absolutely can. Maybe not as like a regular order at a restaurant, but you walk into the poultry section of the grocery store, they have basically every cut of chicken bones or deboned.
Bog sucker
You know I've always thought that Gavin was special. I'm not really a food guy either. I love good food and for me it is just a on or off like it or don't like it. I can sort of understand why I like it or don't like it though. And I cannot fathom that this man who I think of as a very intelligent man in a lot of ways, struggles when trying to decide what foods salt should go on. .. 😂😂😂
Eoin
Eric was more annoying when he was younger?
Crohnenberg
10000% on Gavin’s side about flavors and food. Is it good? Cool. Is there some complexity? I don’t fuckin know
Mr. Dude Sky
Bone in wings all day. Best form of chicken. I don’t think any of them know a thing about wings. To say the chicken is merely a vehicle for sauce is insane. The chicken is the main part! They need to try some real good dry rubs. I hope they don’t go to BWW because those are real dogshit wings. Popcorn talk was hilarious. Uber eating popcorn from the theatre is absolutely wild. This episode is a 7/10 popcorn kernals.
Bog sucker
I have to be definitely not on Gavin's side here and say that Geoffs life hack is totally trash compared to the McDonald's extra pancake
Billy Panovec
I agree with Gavin 100%. I would prefer burn Wing over a boneless cuz then you actually holding a wing
Milksteak
As someone from western NY, hearing them all talk about wings made me want to explode (in a comical way)
lee jones
Has gavin ever been tested for autism? Genuinely.
Gauge Minns
I wonder if Andrews fear for deprivation tanks is from that episode of the Simpson's where Homer gets stuck

You can actually get pieces of chicken deboned and still be that cut of meat. It's more expensive though same thing with the ribs
Nathan Sweatt
I know a lot of people that will go to movie theaters just to grab popcorn. Also I would call Movie theater popcorn "4K" and not 1080p
Jeremy Hixon
I think everyone should try floating. I do it once a month. Skin-temperature water, pitch black, and totally silent.
Andrew Yeager
Gavin is British. Of course he doesn't understand or appreciate flavor. No one from England does.
Nuclearhotdog555
How many burgers would the monster Mac be😂
Jake Hoggen
I HAVE A CLIP 12:25 Andrew responds to Gavin's "Looks like something out of Star Wars" with "Oh yea, huh, Snorlax"... did he mean The Sarlacc Pit?
GlazedMcGuffin
I think the rest of the crew could build a tasting menu for Gavin. Just little bits of flavour experience they think he's missing out on, that could get more adventurous as the mini course go on. Or take him to a food fair and make him try all the free samples.
Marcel
Eric sneaking in those Scorpio Sky and Creating Character tags, I see you. Though I think 1080p Popcorn would've been a better title
Nuclearhotdog555
Take Gavin to B dubs after he makes wings for yall
Godfatherrules
"I don't know anything about flavors" might be the most British thing Gavin has ever said.
Tim
Did Andrew say Snorlax? I think he meant Sarlacc
King0fChickens
During the pizza talk and Gavin said it looks like the creature from Star wars, did Andrew call it Snorlax from Pokémon?

Huh, eating a boneless wing is 100% Eat. Eric should make a podcast about it
