A hot dog is a sandwich. A hot dog is a sandwich. What? Welcome to our podcast, A Hot Dog Is a Sandwich, the show we break down the world's biggest food debates. I'm your host, Josh Sherin. Today, Nicole is out. She is out with load management. We're saving her ankles for the playoffs. Yeah. But we do have a very special guest joining us for the pod. You know him as the cheeky baker boy from Mythical Kitchen, the chaos goblin at Smosh, and the co-host of Yapp Time with his fiancee Raven. But me, well, I call him a close personal friend. Trevor Everts, welcome to the show. Hi, Josh. It's good to be here. It's been so long.

1:28.2

It really has.

1:28.8

Do you remember the last thing we talked about in this podcast?

1:24.5

I feel like goldfish might have been involved. It was. It was. In what way? I don't remember. I thought it was the thing about chocolate-tipped cookies. No one. Okay. It's goldfish versus cheese it's.

1:26.0

Was I on for that?

1:26.5

Yeah, I am.

2:02.6

Okay, because I remember that was, yeah, that was, I was passionate about that, but I couldn't remember if I was passionate as a, as a bystander or in the action. So you do listen to the podcast? I do. I listen. I, well, I don't know the last time I listened to a full episode, but I also don't know the last time I watched a full episode of anything.

So I'd recommend starting with the last third, then going back to the first two-thirds. Well, Raven always them. Raven's the video finisher. Usually it's like, there's like 50, and I'm like, oh, I need to go like do the dishes or I got go run an errand or maybe I'm going to work or something. Sharing domestic labor. That's what this podcast is about today. No, well, we talked about goldfish last time. Nostalgia is a big factor in that. Nostalgia is a big factor in the thing we're talking about today because we wanted to have you on specifically as our Gen Z correspondent. Yes, I'm here once again. Because we're talking about how Gen Z saved Chili's. So just a little bit of background here in the last couple of years alone, Red Lobster, Bucca to Beppo, Hooters and Fridays, all American institutions have all filed for bankruptcy.
