0:00 I'm not into it I think I think uh both those chains should just shut up every taco place has a taco Tuesday every Taco is like every taco joint has a taco Tuesday marketing campaign what are we doing here dude [Music] all right have you guys actually obviously you've heard of Taco Tuesday yes who do you think owns a trademark it's a taco too LeBron James it's a audible trademark wait who owns that ████ there is you're probably not gonna guess but George Lopez it is a rival apparently imagine if it was right eel George Lopez apparently a rival to Taco Bell called Taco John's no ████ way

0:50 are you shocked or are you yawning you looked really shocked when you said Taco John's I was gasping for oxygen that's not even a good rival because I've never heard of them yeah weren't they based out anyone had a taco from Taco joke dude Taco Bell sucks wait what Taco John's I thought we're all collectively hating on Taco John's yeah anything's better than Taco Bell dude taco wands no that's way better that's racist dude what do you have against Taco Bell I just think especially living in La it's like just go literally anywhere yeah anywhere else but they can't make a chalupa have you been to a food truck and go like hey can you make me a ████ gordito crunch all right okay okay I'll say this I don't know whatever I'm

1:42 excited to get a chalupa because I do like chalupas yeah as soon as I take one bite and I'm I'm excited with the Sierra Mist I'm disappointed I'm like damn it I should have just got a regular taco or a burrito are you getting those chalupa with steak though dude I get the chili boys steak chicken and ████ ground beef he said it's so cool dude I get it all I get all I get the ████ I just I go to Taco Bell I said let me get the works and they give me all three damn dude off menu for me have you ever taken a uncut quesadilla and wrapped your burrito in it and then eating it now we're into sacrilege that is but that's kind of fire though like I get the quesarito I like I get it what about the Gordita Crunch the Gordita Crunch is is solid but once again as soon as I eat it I'm bummed what's again your thoughts are so organized on such a

2:32 stupid topic I think about this a lot do you do you suffer from short-term memory loss is that why you constantly go back to Taco Bell no because it's it's I I recently went because it was like the only thing that was nearby and I ate there you're trying to give them the benefit of the doubt again yeah it was terrible yeah I was like maybe I'm just maybe I'm thinking about this the wrong way what do you what drink do you pair it with I I like the drinks as soon as I get a little I won't get the Baja Blast because what is that anyway that's gamer fuel that's ████ a highlighter yes you know what you shouldn't get because you don't know what it's about I love you being defensive but I like the slushies bro the slushies at Taco Bell are banging bro they're banging yeah chalupas are really good they're they're good for like two bites and then you're like I made a mistake

3:22 and you know what we got it from one did you get it with sour cream though yeah it comes with it but you know they have pockets of hot sauce have you tried putting that on there the customization bro I do the whole Taco Bell experience you guys understand like I take it seriously like one packet of hot sauce per bite you're the first Taco Bell here I've ever met you there's more of them on the comment below I find it so shocking that like clearly just by listening to him Taco Bell has an amazing reputation like they've done a lot of things they have big achievements they have a rival called Taco John's yeah that we've never heard of how is that a rival yeah where are they where's Taco John's located oh back to the story so uh the taco chain is it in Bellflower or something [Laughter] [Music] is it like in Nevada Okay so

4:12 the whole point of this is that Taco Bell wants to liberate the taco Tuesday trademark from the smaller rival chain I thought Del Taco was rivalry [Laughter] I met the fan of Del Taco actually yeah he's like a your stereotypical cute adorable light grandpa oh cool good honestly ████ the story I'm more of a Del Taco fan as well what Del Taco over Taco Bell Taco Bell is just not it's just no because you know why because Del Taco tries to be Mexican that's the problem so if I were to eat Del Taco I'm like I'll go to the taco truck Taco Bell it's his Tex-Mex fake ████ yeah I don't know what kind of ████ that is yeah but it's ████ fake because you live it because you live in Vegas have you been to the Del Tacos in Barstow I've been there a couple times because Joe forces me they're different

5:05 the real the real conversation is supposed to be King Taco versus tacos Gavilan oh King Taco can you Taco for the sauce I'll go King Taco and the limey carne asada but if I'm getting to go or if I'm getting delivery your boy's gone no the real conversation it's Alberto's or mocha salsa let's keep according to mocha salsa where I live they're the creator of the carne asada fries they're the Creator according to them they have a banner are you sure that's what the banner says why would they lie yeah why would they like Alberto's and if they're lying they can't get a battery like why would they lie number one restaurant voted best yeah you can't get a banner made if you're lying because you know Alberto's and Albertacos and Alfredo's are all the

5:57 same I did not know that I honestly do you know down south there's a Roberto's riggarbertos Filibertos I swear I only lie at nighttime freestyle rapping now you're showing off I only lie at night no but yeah San Diego Robertos is the famous One in San Diego that's like the one everyone it's really good but then they have Rigoberto's Filibertos Albert you know obviously so they're just like trying to capitalize off the Erdos familiarity pretty much Johnny bertos Johnny burnos mcbirdos Burger kurdos yeah during the day like yeah it's not that's a kid yeah I don't remember it because I haven't ate it a long time let's go let's get that for me so do you believe they're really trying to liberate the

6:47 freaking taco Tuesdays I think or they just want to use it too are they trying to bite off the point the point is the history of the phrase was created by Taco John where it was taco Tuesdays like two t-w-o-s Tuesdays because he was trying to increase sales with 99 steel uh 99 deal for two tacos so it became a hit taco Tuesday yeah dude I doubt Taco John how have we never heard of Taco John's we know everything about them so so the the copyright and phrase is taco and then t-w-o today is not not just okay the name was tweaked to Taco Tuesday like Wednesday Tuesday yeah um and then the chain trademarked that phrase in 1989 yeah because I don't think you could trade more yeah so they trademarked no they did the t-u-e they did okay that's like how they trademarked BOGO for buy one get one over at Stride Right yeah so Taco Tuesday becomes a big hit that like other places started using it and they

7:37 would constantly send out like cease and desists and stuff like that in order to have them stop that marketing campaign because it is a marketing campaign yeah in its original like you know dude shut up shut up Taco Tuesday lovers it's so annoying dude you know on uh Maine and Garfield there was a Mexican spot 50 cent tacos on Mondays wow when I was in high school they want to go out of business you guys that's also like 29 cents at McDonald's but it was yeah we went there you go there with ████ two bucks dude you're good to go oh baby bro we don't even have a Taco John's out here dude doesn't doesn't a jack-in-the-box have like a taco yeah their Taco's awesome tacos are delicious yeah have you had their bowl the the spicy taco bowl the mini I didn't have that but their egg rolls are good too so good the mini they have a bowl they put mini tacos in yeah and then they put

8:28 some lettuce in to make it like a salad yeah many tacos those are good too I haven't had I haven't had uh Jack in the Box tacos is it's the closest one is in Colorado is that freaking for real see that's ████ wait you guys seen this logo anywhere oh TJ that's Tijuana that's some ████ high altitude Tacos yeah that is not good I'm not in it I'm not into it I think I think uh both those chains should just shut up every Taco ████ place has a taco Tuesday every Taco is like every taco joint has a taco Tuesday marketing campaign what are we doing here dude we we all know one month from now you're gonna be visiting Taco Bell and I'm gonna come back guys Taco John's is legit I won't shut the ████ up do you like Chipotle or no bro I like all of it I like Chipotle then how can you say you don't like Taco Bell because they're very different okay I'm not talking

9:19 about it I understand when I go to Taco Bell I know what I'm getting I'm getting like fast food not real Mexican food then why are you so disappointed because it's just not good dude I get a quesadilla and I'm like how does it have burnt it has like uh brown marks like because because they painted on it I know dude and it's the floppiest ████ thing I've ever seen because it's not real ████ Char it's ████ painted on there I know and I don't like that dude bubbles on the chalupa wrap is ████ fake bubbles they didn't fry that thing they threw it in some sort of microwave proprietary microwave it's for quesarito I love this fast food according to Dick the person that goes to a ████ that's not true I know what you're gonna say it's not even real sex no ████ I do not wanna dude don't I would she doesn't love you the example

10:09 of Nick going to prostitute's really weird I would know it's real sad she doesn't love you oh I know it's real sad that's not none of the Taco Bell is real I understand that but it's still so mad no I'm not mad but the thing is the convenience right like it hits at the right time see that's true that's true he's been to a brothel she doesn't need to love you to be convenient you know Ryan's been to a brothel and he knows what I'm talking I know real sex it's like if I went to a prostitute and the pros the sex that guy from The Prostitute was just like the wackest sex I've ever got like that's what that is it said painted grill lights how about a nice sex robot yeah that's like that you know it could be constituted as real sex yeah but technically it's not how would a judge constitute it as that's a good question and that's an answer I don't have no contest not an attempt minute video so you're saying like if you had 10 what do you what is it that you were

11:00 chalupas look I'm gonna eat it all you're gonna eat it all but afterwards I'm gonna be like no that wasn't that one I get you yeah there's gonna be a buyer's remark you went from one bite to throwing it away to two bites to eat all ten I shove garbage down my throat all the time okay I'm not a cus like this is not Annie eats food but afterwards I'm just like I wish I had something else yeah you know I mean that's how I feel like wobble Grill no real sex like Quiznos right at that point that's when I go I should have just got regular tacos that's how I feel like Del Taco to be honest Subway tastes like ████ but when they do heat it it's not bad it's banging I think I think Subway's good their cookies taste like Play-Doh Subway's good when when no one tells you that it's Subway oh the cookies spicy Italians really good there Subway's not bad when it's free catering

11:50 yeah if it's there and you're like oh okay and I'm starving and it's been a 14-hour day on production yeah right then the brown lettuce looks kind of refreshing and you can't taste the plastic that it was just in yeah [Music]
