I think Rod may have almost stumbled on the truth behind the Mac&Cheese hotdog… There was a story a while back of a German pizza place that served the #40 pizza, which was pizza with a side of Cocaine… The Mac&Cheese hotdog, like the #40 pizza, or anything on Arbie’s menu is just a front for ordering drugs!
Hey, friend, not to much on Arby’s. They have the meats.
I haven’t been in decades, but if they open a shop in Osaka I’ll head on down and tell them EvieE sent me!
Me, being the adventurous sort, I would try mac n cheese on a hot dog with a brioche bun. How do I know if I like it or not 😀
Karen is more than capable of ordering a hot dog, however, since she is in a partnership/marriage, a little assistance goes a long way 😀

Mac n Cheese on a hot dog is probably good. No one else had the poor/toddler meal of cut up hot dogs in their mac n cheese? That shit slapped.
Hi Rod and Karen, great feedback show. I wanted to speak on the Twitter exchange you had with the guy who got offended because you asked his age. I think you did a great job of articulating (something you seem to have made a living doing) the problem with having disagreements or opposing viewpoints. When people assign intention to your words, receive the intent they assign as an attack and respond to the attack, it is an endless circle of them chasing their own tail.
It feels like society has gotten to a place where people have lost the ability to communicate because they lead with their emotions. Any disagreement is an attack and trying to get people to further explain their points of view is seen as a violation more so than an attempt to justify or clarify their words. You handled it maturely and I commend you. But great job explaining how these tactics make communication more difficult.
If you had a hot dog stand Rod, and there was mac and cheese on the menu I would still not expect Mac and cheese to be put on a hot dog. It’s a hot dog and that’s a hill I will die on. #teamkaren
If Mac and Cheese and hot dogs were on the menu I would 1000% stand with you EvieE. But…I gotta stand up for Rod, the picture on Rod’s IG shows this hot dog stand literally has a cooked hot dog on the bun with Mac and Cheese on it for you to look at, smell or give the finger to.
All love EvieE, love your comments and your interactions with the show.
When I saw the title of this episode, I thought war had been declared and started dusting my battle armor. Then I realized that it was my good brother Sean who was responsible for the title and I quickly retired the armor and added a new chapter to the Russian Romance in Bayelsa (pre-order your copy now). We got a Love Triangle in our story now!
Rod, I’m offended that you feel that the only Paravai-Kaaran of the TBGWT Nation doesn’t have your back. I’ll name the uncle that doesn’t believe Russian Bae is legit after you.
oops…
Every time you complain about people doing the “Democrats are bad at messaging” thing I feel like tossing something in a collection plate because this is a huge pet peeve I have. To extend your Obamacare example a little further, Democrats are the ones who named it the ACA (you’d think this would be obvious, and it is) and Republicans came up with the “Obamacare” moniker as a derogatory term to hurt Obama with that Obama embraced because why in the fuck would he be ashamed of one of his most significant accomplishments? Of course, I’m not telling you, or anyone else listening to this show anything you don’t already know, but who else already knows this? All the people who blame Democrats for people not knowing Obamacare is the ACA. They were here the same events we were and they watched the same news we did in the 2010s but they pretend not to know because they want to, because they wanna live in their preferred reality. Which is, to the point you were making, the reason the Democrats’ “message” doesn’t get through. Nigga that’s not the Democrats’ fault, it’s you! You’re the problem!
Time to beat a dead horse (or whatever is in a hot dog…)
When you say “gimme one with everything” you don’t expect them to throw EVERYTHING they have. I’m with Karen, if I ordered “one with the works” I’d figure ketchup, mustard, relish, onions and maybe kraut. Just cuz they got it doesn’t mean they gotta put it on there! Them hot dog people were too literal.
It also shows how women like me and Karen are so cared for by our husbands. We are obviously intelligent women who are capable of navigating the world… but we got husbands that care for us so well that we are just the Passenger Princesses of Life. As an overthinker who is riddled with anxiety, it’s SO nice to just turn off all thoughts and go into passenger princess mode.
Unfortunately for me, Mr Apia is the passenger Prince in this house, so I have no idea how it is to live like you do. The children even once made him a crown with „ the beautiful prince” on it. Must be nice!
My over the see comment from was last week a reaction to Leo’s European model girlfriends, who tend to be European.
Unfortunately I seem to accidentally almost called myself something racism related.
Racism. It destroys everything. Here I am trying to compare myself to an European yacht girl who does what it takes and land somewhere somewhere BAD.
I think I should be entertaining in person, I make Germans laugh on regular basis, like 5-6 laughts per day ( all laughs caused by me combined)
I think people who complain about bad messaging on the left, behave like someone who just got robbed and thinks about what they could have done differently to prevent it.
This way they still can believe that they are in control. It’s a lack of acceptance of the real situation.
