- 0:18Speaker 1: Your personal life. I don't know what it would tell you.
- 0:22Speaker 1: What did you say?
- 0:24Speaker 3: No, I said people, the choice that you make for
- 0:28Speaker 3: your food and how you eat it says a lot
- 0:30Speaker 3: about you. And we've had this conversation before. We've gone
- 0:33Speaker 3: out to eat at a steak restaurant and you've told Lana,
- 0:36Speaker 3: you better not order no chicken fingers. You better not
- 0:38Speaker 3: order a burger. We had a family, a.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Real nice steakhouse.
- 0:41Speaker 4: Right.
- 0:41Speaker 1: You're like, don't you do that?
- 0:43Speaker 3: And you always get mad at me saying that you
- 0:45Speaker 3: don't like.
- 0:45Speaker 1: The fact that the palate isn't expanded.
- 0:49Speaker 2: Yeah, that is true. But that just means you're stuck up.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Chicken fingers, doesn't it?
- 0:53Speaker 5: Yes, because.
- 0:53Speaker 6: That's not what I'm saying.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Lena knows that when we go out to lunch, she
- 0:57Speaker 2: has to order that stuff, you know, because Lena's used to,
- 1:00Speaker 2: you know, not.
- 1:01Speaker 6: What?
- 1:02Speaker 1: She's not going to put it out, so she better
- 1:04Speaker 1: not wear it. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Listen, you're an assistant. You're an assistant assist.
- 1:14Speaker 1: You know what? Chips and nachos for you. That's terrible.
- 1:19Speaker 1: I definitely see a poke bowl for you. A poke
- 1:22Speaker 1: bowl in your future. No seconds either. No, no, no.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Do they have chicken fingers?
- 1:30Speaker 5: Yes.
- 1:30Speaker 1: In the parking lot, they do.
- 1:32Speaker 4: See?
- 1:33Speaker 2: So, Junice, you sent me something. So they do have,
- 1:36Speaker 2: you said at Houston's, I can't pull this up. What
- 1:38Speaker 2: does it say at Houston's? Yeah, it's just a picture
- 1:40Speaker 2: of the chicken tenders that they sell.
- 1:44Speaker 6: Like here.
- 1:45Speaker 1: It's a picture of them? Yes.
- 1:47Speaker 4: It's a picture.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Now, now, now what? Now, I don't know.
- 1:50Speaker 2: That doesn't qualify, Junius. I think you're telling me that
- 1:52Speaker 2: doesn't that doesn't say there on the menu. You can
- 1:54Speaker 2: show me a picture of food and that's supposed to.
- 1:56Speaker 4: No, no, no.
- 1:57Speaker 1: It's from Houston.
- 1:58Speaker 6: You'll see.
- 1:58Speaker 3: OK, so I Googled and I asked Jim and I,
- 2:02Speaker 3: does Houston's serve chicken tenders? And it said, no, Houston's
- 2:06Speaker 3: part of Hillstone Restaurant Group does not officially serve chicken
- 2:10Speaker 3: tenders on its menu. It removed its classic tenders from
- 2:14Speaker 3: the menu years ago. Though they occasionally appear as a
- 2:20Speaker 3: limited secret menu.
- 2:22Speaker 2: And that's what's happening now here at Hillstone.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Occasionally, but it's not on their menu. So can chicken
- 2:29Speaker 1: fingers ruin a day? Jasmine, you say yes.
- 2:33Speaker 3: I say no, it can't. I do think it says
- 2:36Speaker 3: a lot about who you.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Are, the high-end restaurant, you order chicken tenders.
- 2:39Speaker 7: I think it says a lot about the person who's
- 2:41Speaker 7: so shallow that they would just dismiss somebody.
- 2:44Speaker 1: I believe you're right.
- 2:45Speaker 3: I mean, we've dismissed people for much less.
- 2:48Speaker 1: I don't think it says anything bad.
- 2:50Speaker 3: I think you can eat whatever you want to, but
- 2:52Speaker 3: I do think, much like you, D.L., have criticized people
- 2:56Speaker 3: in your camp for not eating, eating things at the
- 2:59Speaker 3: table that you thought were more appropriate i.e uh uh
- 3:02Speaker 3: gary you know you get on him when he orders
- 3:05Speaker 3: chicken on a plane or if you guys are someplace
- 3:07Speaker 3: fancy you want him to order according to the fair
- 3:09Speaker 3: so i.
- 3:10Speaker 2: Don't want to run with it i don't want like
- 3:12Speaker 2: if we go to a nice restaurant i don't want
- 3:14Speaker 2: them to ask for you like we're going to a
- 3:16Speaker 2: really nice joint i mean i got any chicken fingers
- 3:19Speaker 2: it but that's.
- 3:20Speaker 1: What i'm saying so maybe that's how she felt Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 3:24Speaker 3: I mean, you criticize a chick because she was shocked
- 3:28Speaker 3: she got popcorn when you were a kid.
- 3:30Speaker 1: No, no, no, no. I was a kid, and me
- 3:33Speaker 1: and Goo Goo went to go see. Goo Goo?
- 3:37Speaker 2: Her name was Goo Goo. And so we go to
- 3:40Speaker 2: see Star Wars, and I open her door for her.
- 3:44Speaker 1: She's going to the thing, and I said, I can
- 3:46Speaker 1: get a soda and popcorn. I'm like, well, this ain't
- 3:50Speaker 1: going to work out. I'm trying. I'm happy. I have aspirations.
- 3:55Speaker 1: In a world far, far away.
- 3:57Speaker 4: Yeah, man.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I was like, man.
- 3:59Speaker 2: And she was, man, I dug her so much, boy.
- 4:02Speaker 2: And then I never went out with her again. And
- 4:04Speaker 2: she came back. She said, about two weeks later, she
- 4:07Speaker 2: comes over. She said, how come you didn't, if you
- 4:09Speaker 2: wanted some ass, I would have gave you some. I
- 4:10Speaker 2: was like, oh, no, that wasn't it.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Oh, wow. That wasn't it. That wasn't it. I know.
- 4:15Speaker 1: And all you had to do was buy popcorn. You
- 4:20Speaker 1: missed out on an opportunity. You don't know a bargain
- 4:23Speaker 1: when you see it. You still got a number?
- 4:27Speaker 2: No, she used to date like we was like, she
- 4:29Speaker 2: used to date like dudes. Like when she was like 17,
- 4:31Speaker 2: she was dating like 30 year old dudes.
- 4:33Speaker 1: You know?
- 4:34Speaker 6: It was past.
- 4:35Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Damn, Junius. You hard on a woman. I don't know. Damn.
- 4:44Speaker 2: I guess you don't want nothing but this vending machine
- 4:46Speaker 2: for lunch. We're going right to the phones.
- 4:50Speaker 1: My date will not be ruined.
- 4:53Speaker 8: At all because it all depends on what you like,
- 4:56Speaker 8: what you want to eat.
- 4:58Speaker 2: And if it was my date, he ordered chicken fingers,
- 5:00Speaker 2: I ordered the same thing too because I like chicken fingers,
- 5:03Speaker 2: chicken nuggets, fried chicken, baked chicken.
- 5:06Speaker 1: It don't make no difference.
- 5:07Speaker 9: I love chicken.
- 5:09Speaker 1: So my date will not be ruined.
- 5:11Speaker 9: I was just trying to figure out, um, what's the
- 5:13Speaker 9: real etiquette on eating chicken tenders? Because I'm a chicken
- 5:16Speaker 9: tender eater and I get them every so often. If
- 5:19Speaker 9: I do go to a restaurant or a wing spot
- 5:22Speaker 9: or something like that, you know, it's economically friendly and,
- 5:25Speaker 9: you know, uh, Nothing's wrong with him. Yeah, I just
- 5:28Speaker 9: feel a little wowed that, you know, the lady might
- 5:31Speaker 9: feel some type of way about her date. Even chicken
- 5:34Speaker 9: tenders on the first date, that might be all he wanted.
- 5:37Speaker 9: You know, he probably didn't see anything on the menu
- 5:39Speaker 9: that he really wanted. That just, you know, wowed him.
- 5:42Speaker 5: Well, what I just heard Jasmine say, she needs to
- 5:46Speaker 5: get off her high horse because there is nothing wrong
- 5:49Speaker 5: with going out to eat and ordering chicken tenders or
- 5:53Speaker 5: chicken fingers. I mean, especially in this economy, not everybody
- 5:57Speaker 5: can afford steak and lobster.
- 5:59Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that your date should be ruined.
- 6:02Speaker 5: That's just my opinion.
- 6:04Speaker 4: Man, these women don't piss me off, brother. I don't understand.
- 6:07Speaker 4: I just don't understand what's wrong with chicken fingers. I
- 6:10Speaker 4: like chicken fingers. If she don't like them, she don't
- 6:13Speaker 4: have to eat them. But don't control what I like
- 6:15Speaker 4: to eat. And you're a co-host, by the way. How
- 6:18Speaker 4: is she going to say that we can't eat chicken fingers?
- 6:21Speaker 4: What's wrong with her? Last week, I was online. They
- 6:25Speaker 4: said if men eat hot dogs, they gay. What can
- 6:28Speaker 4: we do that these women are going to be okay with?
- 6:30Speaker 4: I'm pissed off about that one.
- 6:32Speaker 2: So can ordering chicken for your fingers on a date
- 6:34Speaker 2: ruin it? Here's a little video.
- 6:37Speaker 6: Could you imagine sitting on a first date with a guy?
- 6:39Speaker 3: Y'all go to Cactus Club and you say, hey, y'all
- 6:42Speaker 3: got chicken tenders?
- 6:43Speaker 5: What would you do in that moment?
- 6:45Speaker 6: Are you getting up?
- 6:47Speaker 10: Or are you just going to sit and ride it
- 6:48Speaker 10: out and eat your meal?
- 6:49Speaker 6: I'm absolutely going to eat my meal.
- 6:51Speaker 3: The whole time I'm going to talk about.
- 6:53Speaker 1: How this chicken tenders. This is absolutely your last time
- 6:57Speaker 1: talking to me. Absolutely your last time talking to me.
- 6:59Speaker 1: But I'm going to ride it out. We're going right
- 7:01Speaker 1: to the phones.
- 7:02Speaker 10: For her to take it that personal and to have
- 7:06Speaker 10: such a strong feeling about it to where she feels
- 7:09Speaker 10: like it ruined her meal, it's a reflection on her.
- 7:13Speaker 10: It's a reflection on her ego and her state of being.
- 7:17Speaker 10: And then she says she's going to ride it out.
- 7:19Speaker 10: If she's offended, then she's offended.
- 7:21Speaker 8: Just be offended.
- 7:22Speaker 10: Don't sit there and benefit from the meal, then talk
- 7:25Speaker 10: about it and all that. Because If he enjoyed chicken tenders,
- 7:28Speaker 10: he enjoyed chicken tenders. Going forward, what do you have
- 7:31Speaker 10: to be careful about what you eat because of somebody
- 7:34Speaker 10: else's personality defect? I think he dodged a bullet because
- 7:38Speaker 10: a lot of times people are bigger in their minds
- 7:41Speaker 10: than they really are. So I just, I don't know,
- 7:44Speaker 10: I feel like the person dodged a bullet and she'll
- 7:47Speaker 10: run into somebody who feels the same way about her eventually.
- 7:52Speaker 8: So I'm listening to everybody and I'm thinking to myself, like,
- 7:56Speaker 8: we got to a point now where we we so
- 7:58Speaker 8: petty that we worried about what somebody else is eating
- 8:02Speaker 8: to even go on a date or even remain on
- 8:06Speaker 8: a date. What if you out on a date with somebody? Uh,
- 8:09Speaker 8: let's say somebody who's a billionaire, but they love chicken tenders.
- 8:14Speaker 8: You gonna get up and walk away because he want
- 8:16Speaker 8: chicken tenders? I mean, we getting petty, real petty now,
- 8:20Speaker 8: and it just sound crazy.
- 8:21Speaker 1: The streets are talking with my man Trey. What's good, y'all?
- 8:24Speaker 7: This is Trey Five, and today I'm on the streets
- 8:27Speaker 7: finding the answer to the age-old question.
- 8:29Speaker 6: What do you put on your grits? Sugar or salt?
- 8:32Speaker 2: Sugar.
- 8:32Speaker 6: And if somebody says that's wrong, they can buy their
- 8:35Speaker 6: own breakfast. What do you put on your grits? Sugar
- 8:38Speaker 6: or salt?
- 8:39Speaker 11: Depends who's cooking. If they're good, butter and salt. If
- 8:43Speaker 11: they're bad, maybe sugar can save them. When you're eating grits,
- 8:47Speaker 11: what goes on there? Sugar or salt? salt wait hold
- 8:52Speaker 11: on brown sugar is kind of good don't put that
- 8:55Speaker 11: on camera all right.
- 8:56Speaker 7: All right we know butter is supposed to be there
- 8:58Speaker 7: but when you're eating grits what else goes on there

- 9:18Speaker 6: Little butter, too. Don't judge me. When you're eating grits,

- 9:33Speaker 1: Honey, salt, maybe cheese. Sugar on grits? That's a whole
- 9:38Speaker 1: different situation.
- 9:39Speaker 7: The streets definitely have something to say, but the answers
- 9:41Speaker 7: sounded like a toss-up.
- 9:43Speaker 6: For me, only right answer is salt and butter. But
- 9:47Speaker 6: teach them.
