  Speaker 1: Korea Times. Can you imagine?
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Why do you get that?
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Why do you get that?
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: A new meetup trend is spreading among young Koreans.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: It's like meeting for the first time. Yeah.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: The gatherings have emerged as the latest social fad, following
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the brief popularity of Cops and Robbers meetups inspired by
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the childhood game.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: You want to get together and play Cops and Robbers.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I guess that was the thing for a bit, But
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: now this is the new meetup thing. People of all
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: ages and backgrounds are coming together for French fries.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: Well, it is something that could bring people together. I
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: can see that.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I think we did that when I was a kid.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: In online communities, invitation posts for meetups centered on eating
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: French fries or on the rise on carrot, which I
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: guess is an app.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, look at those French fries.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: A local marketplace and community app. Ninety nine French fry
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: meetup groups have been created.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Eleven in Seoul, Korea alone.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: A fry club in Mapo District attracted seven hundred and
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: thirty one members within just two weeks of its launch.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I need a fry club while a gang while a
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: gangdam based group dedicated to specifically McDonald's fries drew four
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety one members. I wonder where those fries
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: are from. Those look good?
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: Those are those are twice fried and it looks like
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: beef tallow and they're.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Like in a little individual basket, which I like.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: And there's a ketchup and mustard available for them now
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the Korea Times.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: In the Korea Times article then goes on to say
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: health experts urge moderation and the rest of there's like
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: a fourth of it is about the fry meetups, and
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: three quarters of the article is about how fries are bad.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: People together. That's what I'm taking away from this so
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: fry club.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: So I think you need to either start a fry club.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I don't need to meet, you know,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: like a dating thing.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: But let's have a radio from hell fry club. Well
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: see what friends of the program.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: What Sue suggested was is that people bid to meet
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you for fries and we give the money to charity.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Oh and we you know, we'd have some people there
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: around you.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: To manage the fry.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: Well yeah, Nick, Nick, we'd have Nick are people. Nick
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: would be Nick would be there to you know, handle
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: any trouble.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: This is so it would be what charity do we do?
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Okay, it's up to you.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: This is this is uh, this is something that needs
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: to be fleshed out. You know.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: I've been thinking about food in this show lately. The
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: last couple of days. We used to have a sandwich
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: at Feldman's. Yeah, but I looked at their menu.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: It's not on there and they only get the tongue occasionally.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: It was the Radio from Hell tongue sandwich. Mike explained
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: that to me. He says, it's not on the menu.
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: We only get tongue every now and then.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: But I think I'd like we should have at a
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: restaurant some some Uh.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Well, we did have a sushi roll. Oh is it
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: at Kyoto?
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we still have that.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: Okay, so we have it's the X ninety sixth role.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: But we need a Radio from Hell something, the Radio
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: from Hell, hot dog or some some restaurant needs.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: To have a see the thing sure dish with our
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: name on it.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: So the Kyoto used to be the Radio from Hell
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: roll when when it was at.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Its chi Shaban.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: And the reason it was the Radio from Hell roll
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: is there's something for each of us in that role.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: And my my contribution is it's it's fried. Yeah.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: And then Peggy went over to Kyoto and that's she
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: took the recipe with her.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: But I think it's just is it still called the
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Radio from Hell?
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: It's called the X ninety six roll now. But my
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: point being is it was it was specific to us.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: How that role is put.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's it's still there. And the and the
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: tongue sandwich. That makes sense, the Radio from Hell tongue
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: easy tongue because you.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Know, like you get it well.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: And briefly there for a while Captain Bastard's restaurant he
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: named a cocktail after me.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Oh what kind of cocktail was?
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: It was an appletini and it was called the Jackson.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: And then then when he closed out, Jackson.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Is a nice name for a cocktail too. That's something
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: you can see going into a bar and ordering a Jackson.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't. You wouldn't go into a bar and
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: order an all no give me, I like it all
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: read straight up please unless it was tomato juice red.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: How would we do we need Jimmy here.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: But but I you know, I just think we had
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: to have some restaurant off offer a signature dish that's
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: named after this, this show, something.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: That we could Maybe I could get somebody to do

  Speaker 4: finger steaks, finger steak, I would like it. I'm just
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: trying to get somebody.

  Speaker 5: Again, something that's fried. You take a good, nice piece
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: of steak and then you fry.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: I have I have my thing, Bill, you can have yours.
• 5:41
