This episode deals with a heavy topic. There's no avoiding that. Considering the amount of bad takes and misinformation going around, it's important to spread the word on what happened. Whether you love these content creators or not, some of the facts alone are down right disturbing. On this episode, you will learn those concrete details of the situation, and with Brian's comedic stylings understand the absurdity of the situation. Brian Durkin is on Twitter and Instagram.

Sadge if you missed your chance to watch a mega church butcher a Broadway classic, but luckily this hateful show did not go on. Find out why it makes too much sense that this production even came to be, and also learn about some other really bizarre news stories. On this episode we'll also do an AMA, random trivia, and Truth or Dare. Of course we will also be covering today's food holiday: National Coffee Ice Cream Day.

That's right, folks. Forget the dough. Not like it's essential to the very essence of what makes something a pizza, right? If you think that's crazy, there are even more goofy stories in this episode. We kick things off with a fan question, then dive into the news. After that we discuss the food holiday for the day, tackle a trivia question, and then play truth or dare. Brian Durkin is on Twitter and Instagram.

Thank You!
A lot of amazing people and places made the Full Belly Laughs Podcast possible, and also just made Brian Durkin a better comedian and person. Thank You, Creators
Rob Zawatski, Dena Miranda, and Steve from Bridgeset Sound really helped shape the show you heard every week. Steve helped equip Brian with his current podcast gear, to make the show sound great. Dena Miranda laid down the vocals for the opening theme, and Rob helped produce and record that theme. Rob also encouraged Brian to check out podcasting, and without that nudge, none of this stuff would have happened. Thank you to Steve, Dena, and Rob. Thank You, Guests
So many guests over the years made the Full Belly Laughs Podcast something special, but a few people really made the show awesome. Thank you to Megan Goetz, Ben Farrell, Joe Messina, Max Barth, Christian Mangual, and Greg Trout for their contributions to the podcast. These reoccurring guests helped shape the tone of the show, and these people really helped out Brian when another guest would cancel. They were always excited to do the podcast, and Brian is so grateful for their talent and time. Thank you to Meg, Ben, Joe, Max, Christian, and Greg. Thank You, Entities
There are two venues/events that really allowed the FBL Podcast and Brian to grow. Than you to the Philly Improv Theater and the Philadelphia Podcast Festival. Without the experience of performing live at these theaters and events, the show would not be as good; Brian also grew faster as a comedian and performer thanks to these opportunities. Thank you, PHIT and PPF. Thank You, Friends and Fam
There are a few people close to Brian that really supported the podcast. Special thank you to Alex Colic and Richard Chin for being supportive friends. They helped build up engagement on social media, attended live shows, and even guested on the podcast. Special thank you to Hugh Durkin (Brian's dad). He's been a big supporter of Brian's creative endeavors, and it means a lot. Finally, the closing thank you goes to Lauren Daniels. She is the #1 fan of Full Belly Laughs, inspiring Brian to always make the show entertaining. She has also encouraged Brian on his development, and she continues to be a beacon of light for his spiritual and personal growth. Thank you Alex and Rich. Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Lauren. Thank You, Fans

Overcoming Adversity In The Tortilla Game
Brian learned first-hand how pursuing goals in tortilla-making is no easy task. A lot of haters will come after you. For instance, Guinness World Records will try and charge you a ton of money just to get into their books. Pretty wack. Who even reads books anymore anyways? Speedrun websites seems to not count IRL speedruns, which is a dang shame. Hopefully in our lifetimes they will see the error in their ways. For now, we must proclaim our victories loud and proud, and without the help of an authoritative body. Brian Durkin is on Twitter and Instagram.

How To Order Calories at Ruby's Diner
First and foremost you will need a big appetite, money in the bank, and plenty of time to eat. Also having a Ruby's Diner near you is helpful. The magic number of 69,420 calories in one order comes from a special combination of 73 menu items. You'll need to average about 3 of each breakfast, and double of most sandwiches and entrees. Just one of each of the salads, since they don't really add much besides more chewing. If you have someone cut up the salads with scissors to do some pre-chewing for you, then it might be worth; however, deviating from this list could mess up the math.

The Roast of Cold Stone Creamery's Web Presence
The shear volume of URLs on the homepage is incredible. Baskin Robbins doesn't even have as many flavors compared the choices presented to the user upon visiting Cold Stone Creamery's website. That's assuming they make it pass the shady SEO on the SERPS for CSC. Whoever did the Cold Stone Creamery marketing actually deployed some shady practices. At the time of this writing, www.coldstonecreamery.com has this meta title: "Birthday Cakes Cupcakes Bakery - Cold Stone Ice Cream". That's what the kids would call "sus". Savage keyword stuffing, and not even putting their proper business name in the title either. Quite shameful honestly. At least they redeem themselves with predictable corporate language and widgets on the site. Brian Durkin is on Twitter and Instagram.

Blaze Pizza DIY Kit
If you're interested in making pizza at home, and don't want to start completely from scratch, this is a great way to go. Let's be honest: prepping all the ingredients and making your own pizza dough is a chore. You have to plan hours if not days in advance. If you are in the mood for fresh pizza and don't mind assembling it yourself, the DIY kit is a fantastic way to go. Is it cheaper than just buying pizzas they make? It depends on your appetite. Also you will have dishes after ordering food out going the DIY route, so that's weird. Brian Durkin is on Twitter and Instagram.

How Much Is Too Much For a Burrito?
The simple answer to this question is really about your budget. If you can't afford Taco Bell, then you should still not get Taco Bell. Just because that place overs cheap af burritos and tacos that don't provide nutrients, doesn't mean you should still buy it. Tocaya Organica is the same deal, as is eating out in general. Save your money if you need to save. If you want amazing Mexican flavors and high quality food, then check out Tocaya Organica. They over a variety of items: tacos, burritos, salads, bowls, etc. And you don't have to drop a million dollars to taste their goodness. A standard burrito clocks in a little over ten bucks (yes it can cost as much as $26 with crazy substitutions - JaBaited). If you want to save up for a nice and affordable Mexican meal (because this ain't those five star restaurant prices), then consider Tocaya. Brian Durkin is on Twitter and Instagram.

Greatest Doughnuts Ever?
Sidecar Doughnuts are in the conversation. These cake doughnuts allow fresh air to flow through them, providing a nice light and fluffy texture. It's like if your Build-a-Bear animal was made of sugar and clouds. You will feel like a folded pair of dungarees after biting into one of these bad boys. Worries will melt away. Cavities will form, but that doesn't matter. You're in doughnut heaven thanks to the skilled sugar crafting by Sidecar. If you're ever in the Los Angeles area, do yourself a solid and check out this awesome spot. Brian Durkin is on Twitter and Instagram.

What A Year!
No doubt that 2020 will be analyzed by historians for centuries to come. It's a pretty epic time to be alive. For many of us, things got worse this year. At a minimum we lost the ability to do something simple like go to the movies. For others, we lost jobs or family members to COVID. But was 2020 really all bad? No. There is plenty of good to think about when looking at 2020. It was a year of transformation, and many people took the opportunities presented in this year to better themselves. Did you? If not, it's never too late. Start that project you wanted to start. Learn that craft you're itching to learn. Now is the time to pivot, change, and grow. Brian Durkin is on Twitter and Instagram.

The Yogurtland Website Is Looking Out For You
Not every restaurant or chain puts a ton of care into their web presence. Lucky for you, it's clear that Yogurtland cares. The website is clean, providing a bunch of useful buttons and clickables. The best feature is the Find A Flavor search. It teaches you about the flavors, and which stores near you have them. You can even search the whole globe if you're curious to know all the flavor possibilities. You have to dig deep into yourself and ask an important question: am I ready for a long distance relationship with a froyo? Only you know the answer.

Dave's Hot Chicken
You know a restaurant has to be fire when they specialize in just one thing (and when "hot" is in the title of the restaurant, it's probably pretty spicy). DHC only offers three combos, and they're really just the 3 ways to enjoy their chicken: 2 tenders, 2 sliders, or a tender plus a slider. Dave's Hot Chicken wouldn't be complete without some dope sides. The usual suspects are in attendance: fries, mac and cheese, coleslaw, etc. The website is covered in food porn, so even if you don't live in the LA area, you should visit just for the juicy pics.

Classic lol boomer blunder on the Winchell's Donut House site (at the time of this episode's release). There was some sweet copy that explained to the user that clicking the button will do what the button stated. Hey, it's better to be clear than mysterious with your words. The nutrition facts were cool, but conveniently left out one very important ingredient: sugar. WDH chose to keep the amount of grams of sugar in its products a mystery. But at least joining the Donut House club is very easy to understand. That's what matters. Did you enjoy our coverage of Black-And-White? Check out the site yourlogicalfallacyis.com.

CPK Is Trying To Run These Streets
California Pizza Kitchen (aka CPK) is not playing around. They're after these corners and these streets. When you take a look at their menu and see the territory they want, oh baby, so other players are not going to be pleased. Panera Bread and P. F. Chang are going to have words, and it might come to throwing hands. But CPK ain't no punk, so the rumble shall be quite interesting. Did you enjoy our coverage of the Pessimism Bias?

You Pick, Literally
It's hard to choose a pure winner in this lot, since they both are so similar. Many Americans go with Panera, but that's because it's more famous. P Bread does offer the bread bowl, which is a nice nod to eco-friendliness. It would be cool if we could eat more stuff after we're done with them. Edible utensils, tables, clothes, people, etc. Corner Bakery on the other hand establishes itself a bit more as a breakfast join and a deli. But they do come off as a real TriHard when comparing the menus side-by-side. At the end of the day, both have value to offer, so go with the one you enjoy best.

Hail Caesar!
It's a classic salad, and it's no surprise that most of the fans voted for this rich green dish. It's got cheese, bread, and sometimes fish. What's not to love about a Caesar salad? It's named after a famous emperor that was murdered. That just makes the salad even cooler. Plus it's a real enterprise, someone getting a dressing to sponsor the salad full time by changing its name to Caesar. Pretty incredible stuff. Did you enjoy our coverage of the Optimism Bias?

Juice Is There To Help Us Express Our Deepest Desires
Juice really lets a person become free, to express their full person. It has this power if you are also on drugs, or had a sick high roll out the womb with great mental health. For most of us, juice does not provide these benefits. Instead it's a drink with consume at the right time in the right place.
From our poll, people seemed to like a variety of cool juices. It was spread across pretty even, and there was no clear winner. Honestly the winner was the human race, because it would be a sad existence if we never figured out how to juice. Did you enjoy our coverage of No True Scotsman?
