You guys said you couldn't understand menu anxiety, but then explained it perfectly for 10 mins lmao. All of those weird rules are EXACTLY why lol. I stay googling menus in advance 😎😂
I was gonna comment the same thing haha, "Why are you guys anxious about ordering at restaurants? All you have to do is navigate this apparently rigid and complex minefield of social menu etiquette lest everyone find you annoying and stupid!"
I thought everyone looked up the restaurant beforehand and had some idea of what they were going to order before they even stepped in the building??? apparently not lmao
My favorite part of this episode was how they couldn't understand Menu anxiety and then went down a list of very specific rules people have to follow when ordering food or else they'll hate you lmao.
It’s 2024 and Frankie is back to justifying why he could reasonably take on a wild animal and win. Nature is healing. Not the nature that looks the wrong way at Frankie, but nature in some regard lol
i love how they kept saying how they cannot understand why anyone would ever have anxiety over ordering food at a restaurant, and then went on to roast every single thing someone could do "wrong" while ordering, therefore justifying ordering anxiety LOL im obsessed with these two
"I dont understand menu anxiety" proceeds to make up a bunch of specific rules outta nowhere for ordering food and explain that if you dont follow these rules they just made up that they will hate.
48:34 Idk if this is the same for anyone else but my wife had crippling social anxiety so bad she couldn’t even go into a grocery store when we started dating. Restaurants were short term social interactions with minimal talking to strangers and made for great practice! Sometimes she’d get overwhelmed and have me order for her but I never minded. Now she works full time at a hotel front desk 🖤🥰
i'm 29 and i didn't order my own food until i was 16. definitely not new! i just was so afraid of strangers and was afraid of sounding silly so i had my parents order for me. now its totally simple and no big deal at all lol but it was deffffffff a struggle for me as a kid 😅
@@LoriannNZ and that's totally fine! everyone goes at their own pace. cold turkey worked for me, i just was like ok today im going to stop that. my parents also made me feel so bad about it LMFAO 💀 i have a 4 year old now who orders for herself no problem! you'll get there !!! i was a fearful child and am now a mildly careless adult.
As someone who used to work in restaurants, you guys just validated how I felt as a waitress for 10 years in the last 10 minutes of the podcast. I’ve dealt with every single type of person y’all described MULTIPLE times 😂😭😭
Joey Frankie it's called social anxiety, I will order my own food but I feel like an idiot and embarrassed afterwards bc I get in my head about how I sounded. It's not just a Gen z thing, it's just SOCIAL ANXIETY. Love ya both
the fact that you guys said you don't understand ordering anxiety and then got mad at a bunch of things people do while ordering.... yeah, I have anxiety and I'm autistic. I have food sensitivities and sometimes when I ask about substitutions/how things come the servers get annoyed. there are all these unspoken rules and I'm already focused on not stumbling over my words.
1:04:25 im vegetarian and i ordered veggie fajitas once, they brought fajitas with a few pieces of shrimp in it. i was just going to not eat it and take it home and give it to someone else… another person at the table had to send it back for me 😭
Chief comes from the French term chef, which originates from the Latin word caput, both of which refer to the head of a group. During the colonization of North America, European settlers used the anglicized version of the term - chief - to describe the leaders of the Indigenous nations they encountered.
Menu anxiety is just anxiety. And as someone who has my bf order for me and I hate going out to eat, litteraly everything yall said you hate when someone orders is why “menu anxiety” is a thing. And the fact that everyone you’re eating with is watching you order. It’s like stage fright but menu fright.
As someone who has suffered from social anxiety, I get that it can be frustrating when somebody can't do certain things for themselves like order off a menu, but "just get over it" is probably the most unhelpful thing that you can say… That person already knows what they're doing doesn't really make any sense and acting like they can just get over it is not the move. Like thanks if I'd known I could just get over it I wouldn't have spent thousands of dollars on therapy and medication 💀
Millennial here, i was undiagnosed Autistic my whole life and the idea of a table of people (even familiar ones) looking at me while I spoke makes my skin crawl. I can order now but I need to have already picked what I'm eating before we get there so I can practice what I'm saying
I noticed that too!! Words matter SO much, especially when talking about colonization. I love that even in a humorous talk he made sure to correct it loud and clear :) ❤
Ok I can't resist. Frankie, deer would fuck you up without a weapon. They literally do nothing but run, and headbutt each other. They're so incredibly strong, and literally don't get tired.
As a line cook, I really fucking appreciated that last 10 minutes holy shit. Hearing that from the perspective of people outside of the industry is wild to me. It makes me so happy hearing these opinions from people NOT working in a restaurant!
this is like the only podcast i can actually only listen to, i just heard this on spotify while driving to work and now i had to come back to watch the visual of frankie doing the kangaroo kick, just too good
I feel the same way about sending food back. Only time I’ve ever sent food back is when they didn’t take off the sesame seed garnish when I told them I’m allergic and I still felt awful 😅
Frankie… deer are insanely strong. Your best chance is to make noise and get it to leave. Joey… all tails are part of the spine. Humans have them too. It’s called the coccyx.
This Restaurant stuff was so spot on. I've been a server/bartender for 10 years. I can't tell you how many times people and given me two options and then picked the one I didn't. It drives me nuts lmao
The ONLY questions I ever have about a menu is when there is a "special sauce" because I was always told I was allergic to honey mustard. Until recently when I learned my mother told me it was because she didn't like the smell or something so she didn't want me to eat it.
i think the reason gen z has more anxiety when it comes to things like ordering food is that shame is a huge influence on us since a lot of us grew up with social media. being perceived is a much bigger deal than it’d be if we grew up without having to analyze every part of our being
Born ‘97, and I have always hated ordering food at a restaurant. I always get so nervous and try to get my husband to order for me. I have no clue why I am like this, especially as I talk to people professionally all day everyday at my job. 😅
My parents, when we would go out to eat, from a young age raised me to speak up for myself!! Simple!! 👏👏👏 If I couldn’t order my own food, I wasn’t eating!
That’s not what menu anxiety is as a Gen Z. Menu anxiety is the anxiety of asking for something that isn’t on the menu, or a change to a dish that isn’t stated as a possibility on the menu. Like we are fine ordering and picking off the menu but asking for anything beyond that or any changes is a no no
When I was in middle school, a deer ran through a window and skid down the hallway. I was in the cafeteria for class and it skid into the kitchen and was knocking down everything, it sounded like a tornado. They locked it in there and then ultimately were able to release it out the back door. Same thing happened at the other middle school in our district the following week.
Just from the amount of animals that he claims he can beat in a fight, I am so extremely convinced that Frankie couldn't kill a mouse with his bare hands let alone a deer, giraffe, gorilla or literally ANYTHING lol
The Basement Yard got me back into podcasts- love y’all- and recently found the You Should Know podcast, I would love to hear the ridiculous conversations the four of you would have 😂
For the menu anxiety, I had a guy friend in high school who used to make me order his McDonald’s for him because he was too embarrassed to do it. I never understood that… but I get that it can be overwhelming with too many choices , HOWEVER IF YOURE ORDERING THE SAME THING OR THE SAME FEW THINGS EVERY TIME WHATS THE BIG DEAL?!
personally, I used to have menu anxiety when I was a kid. i don't anymore after working in that environment because I realized that they're just trying to do their jobs, so I try to make their days at least a little bit brighter by being nice. but I used to make my parents order for me when they would force me to go out to eat with them, even though I had incredible amounts of social anxiety. so to answer Frankie's question about "why", it's because I was forced as a kid lol. but where the fear came from, I really feel like it was centered in what they thought of me and that I always thought that if I didn't say the right thing I would get someone mad at me or annoyed. but again, I realized that ppl just don't care! haha. and really, I was also afraid of stuttering or fumbling with my words, or being asked a question I wasn't prepared for, because even though I can order by myself now, I still get a little spike of anxiety every time someone asks me something that I hadn't previously thought about lol. i have to prepare all my answers to the questions I think they're going to ask me first, so I don't get anything wrong.
Been kicked by multiple horses, can confirm that you want to be closer rather than farther away because they don’t have full force behind their kicks. So I imagine kangaroos are the same haha Frank:1 Joe:0
while yes one Lion would be banging a lot, it means theres massive competition to be the one Lion in the pride and constant fights to the death so you're living a pretty dangerous life haha

Truer words have never been spoken.
When Frank starts doing his off camera shit PLEASE have another camera handy to record it
Exactly! He has an iPhone right next to him!
Agreed 😂 I came here purely to watch it after listening to the attempt on Spotify hahaha

We really need a santagato studios video of Frankie trying to grab different animals. We need to settle this.
I really need to see him try to catch a chicken
Patron episode lol
Yes please.
Would pay to see this lol give him the full head protection helmet and let it buck! Lmao
Or at least a video of them reacting to AI generated pictures 😂😂😂

"You are exactly who you am" 💀😂😂
The way I would have paid to see Frankie’s jump off camera
I am so thankful to live in the same lifetime as these men. The joy they bring me is unmatched 😂❤️.
Their restaurant rant is nothing more than pure comedic gold. This segment should be an all time classic...

Yo Frankie is seriously underestimating the power of deer 😂
1000% would never take Frank to a nice place and expect him to behave. I would feel exactly like Joe did 😂.
YES, their "fun" sounded a bit obnoxious. I've been in a nice restaurant with a group of rowdy/loud guys...not fun for anybody around.
Frankie's imaginary animal fights need to be animated. Just imagine what that would be lmao
joe and frank: "i don't understand menu anxiety"
also joe and frank: will berate you relentlessly if you make a single mistake 😂
As someone who used to work in restaurants, you guys just validated how I felt as a waitress for 10 years in the last 10 minutes of the podcast. I’ve dealt with every single type of person y’all described MULTIPLE times 😂😭😭

RIGHT HERE. RIGHT NOW.
I work at Starbucks and people will ask “which is better?” I’ll tell them my preference and they go with the opposite. Happens 80% of the time. 😂
Oh no I’d end myself right then and there if I went against someone’s recommendation and I must thank them 12 times even if I don’t like it

Y’all are literally what I look forward to every week 🥹🥹 Please come to Texas for the live tour!
And the opposite, too! WISCONSIN
Y’all wonder why people have menu anxiety and start listing off all these unspoken specific rules
Frankie (a leo) vs Joe (a pisces) is so hilarious.
I like when Joey looks straight into the camera to explain something, makes it feel like I’m there
I’ve been a server for ten years and this episode has restored my faith in customers

watching this on my way to college in a desperate attempt to preserve my sanity love you guys
As someone who has worked in the restaurant industry for many years as a server & manager at an upscale restaurant…I 100% agree w every statement
Menu anxiety is just anxiety. And as someone who has my bf order for me and I hate going out to eat, litteraly everything yall said you hate when someone orders is why “menu anxiety” is a thing.

9:00 - 10:00 I scrumt so loudly especially at Franks "alright"
I appreciate the “not KINDA” correction from Frankie at the beginning…words matter ♥️
I noticed that too!! Words matter SO much, especially when talking about colonization. I love that even in a humorous talk he made sure to correct it loud and clear :) ❤
I would be 10x more likely to purchase something from an ad read if Frankie read them. I couldn’t be less intrigued when Joey reads them 😂
Frankie’s confidence in his ability to kill a deer w/ his bare hands just shows that he grew up in a city on the east coast 😂 not around animals
thats what i was thinking😂😂 a deer can absolutly kill people
Ok I can't resist. Frankie, deer would fuck you up without a weapon. They literally do nothing but run, and headbutt each other. They're so incredibly strong, and literally don't get tired.
“i don’t understand menu anxiety” and then proceeds to explain exactly why i have menu anxiety LMAO
Franky needs to make a video to back up all his physical feat claims and get a massive reality check😂😂
Next week we need an episode where Joe has just a *little* more headroom in his shot.
