| 0:00.0 | This is the Athletic Football Show. |
| 0:15.5 | The Athletic Football Show is presented by State Farm, because like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. |
| 0:19.8 | Get a quote today. |
| 0:21.0 | Welcome to the Athletic Football Show. Today's Friday, December 24th, Christmas Eve. I'm Robert Mays. Joining me today is my good friend Nate Tyson. How you doing, buddy? Doing very, very well. Things are aligning. I get to see my family this weekend. Oh, nice. Our Sunday show, actually, I'll probably be in my dad's office, so we'll have a little more memorabilia behind me than a couple of movie posters and a blank wall. So for the YouTube, YouTube viewers. I will be at my mom's house this weekend, which will be very nice. We get to see her. Good to see my brothers. Very much looking forward to it. |
| 0:54.3 | Got a Christmas gift early today. They're bringing the Mexican pizza back at Taco Bell. Did you see |
| 0:59.6 | this? I did not. Huge news. Absolutely huge news. I, a very important fast food item to me. Let me |
| 1:07.7 | spend 30 seconds before we get out of here before we move on here about why Taco |
| 1:11.0 | Bell is the greatest fast food chain of all time. It's because no other fast food items or places |
| 1:17.4 | consider texture in the same way that Taco Bell does. The Mexican pizza is a towering achievement |
| 1:23.9 | of human engineering because the second shell keeps it crispy. |
| 1:29.1 | So when you either eat it right away or you eat it there, and I used to live right |
| 1:32.0 | next to a Taco Bell in Chicago so I could get it and bring it right home. |
| 1:34.6 | The crisp retains. |
| 1:36.9 | And that is just such a difference maker with all fast food items. |
| 1:40.2 | That's why the cheesy goody of Crunch is also an incredible invention because the textures |
| 1:45.4 | change. The fact you get the crunch is so important. Them doing away with the Mexican pizza |
| 1:51.5 | never made any sense. And now a total injustice has been righted and just did right in time. |
| 1:58.8 | It's just a perfect time of year for us to have that sort of moment. |
| 2:01.9 | And I'm really happy about it. |
| 2:02.7 | I think they announced Taco Bell announced too that they're going to be serving fried chicken as well, like chicken wings and stuff too. Like they're just... That I care less about. I know. Shut up and play the hits, Taco Bell. That's all I want right now. What is your favorite fast food item? I love, oh, I love Popeyes, spicy chicken with their biscuits because I've just, yeah, I'm also, oh man, like fried chicken. Uh, Chick-fil-A breakfast, their chicken biscuits. Huge. I love the Chick-flay breakfast. The only, I love a chicken biscuit for breakfast. Oh, It's one of my favorite breakfast items. |
| 2:32.8 | The Bojangles chicken biscuit, like the spicy flay biscuit is one of my favorite items of all time. And I like the Chick-fil-A one. There's a place called Roost in Chicago. I don't know if it's a national chain, but they have a couple of locations in Chicago that they do chicken biscuits in the morning. That is one of my favorite things. I also as a West Coast guy now, In-N-Out, it's been great. |
| 2:51.1 | It's just because In-N-Out's not like the greatest biscuits in the morning. That is one of my favorite things. I also as a West Coast guy now, |
