I Eat My Slop Bowl on Company Time - Video Episode
🕑 Added 2024-08-13 23:03:01 +0000 UTCThe girlies break down the establishments that plague our neighborhoods and corporatize our lunch hours: fast casual restaurants. From Cava to Chipotle, have we really elevated fast food or just made it more expensive? Digressions include a petty gripes section, the Olympics of transvestigation, and tens of thousands of rewards points.
*As an end-of-tour gift to our wonderful patrons we decided to put this video ep out for all the tiers! Love you <3 *

i am also an ashkenazi jew but i will gladly sacrifice the state of my stomach for that sweet overpriced slop
syd
i unfortunately love chipotle. i went through a depressive episode at my small liberal arts school (rural area, genuine food desert) where i ate it three times a week because it was one of the only things i could genuinely look forward to. to this day, i eat it so often that i get free entrees every now and then. im not sure what the point of me sharing this is just wanted to share an alternative to the finance bro experience.

Also wanted to share that something I’ve seen a lot in Austin (highly newly gentrified city 🙄) is a lot of small local food trucks that used to be affordable… become brick and mortar stores and start franchising and give the same vibes as chipotle/cava/sweet green but are STILL marketed as local! Bc it started here… when it’s just as corporate and soulless as the rest.

Truly. Coming from TX to NYC i was kinda 👀 about the Mexican food but it’s so dependent on if u go to a family owned restaurant in queens vs a huge ugly awful place in Manhattan it’s gunna be a diff vibe! There IS amazing Mexican food in NYC u gotta look for it
Lucy
boycott starbs and macdonalds and speak up for a free palestine!!!!!
Zina
I love u both sm but I truly can’t stand by while you shame the NYC Mexican food scene any further 🙅🏻♀️
Abby
The same exact thing happened to me with Verizon. Gave me a fake phone number that needed verification to let me pay my bill. Spent hours on texts and call chats and had to pay my Verizon bill in person at a store for two months. Fuck Verizon
Iris
Literally triggered bc my mom needs to take a Xanax any time she has to call Verizon customer service lmfao

if it’s free you’re the product 🎶

Yaaaas the Binchies speaking on CAVA after I bought their stock a couple months ago… Run it up Girls!😙

Hi Ladies as a DC native who was in middle school and early high school during the reign of Sweetlife I must tell you. It was a HUGE deal to go to sweetlife especially once they moved it to the larger venue in MD. People would talk about it for weeks and only the coolest girls in my grade would go (never me :() I remember everyone seeing the 1975 and being so fucking jealous in 8th grade. When I was finally old enough to go, they stopped having it and started having a “block party”
Nicole Beaumont
I actually work as a marketing director for a fast casual brand in California so this IDENTIFIES with me. If you ever want a follow up episode I’d love to speak on how sinister this industry is!
Nina
I love the pod but the silence on the boycotts is truly disappointing. What other social issue of similar relevance would Eliza and Julia not speak on? It’s a political podcast and as such your silence is very loud. We are talking about a genocide and an apartheid state here- 70,000 bombs, 40,000 dead. I know you guys can do better
Bea
i am missing panda express representation in the fast casual universe
johanna
julia confusing travis scott with among us has made me feel insane joy

I’m Irish but my bf is Canadian so we were watching with a VPN on cbc and I BURST out laughing when I saw the ozempic ads it is crazy that they were sponsoring!!

Olivia Rose
I truly cannot tell if Julia has a cunty curly bob or if she just always wears her hair in a loose high pony
Grace Dolan
Ms. Hava, this color blue was made for you (that rhymed lol) 💙
alyssa
as a girlie from wichita kansas i am actually shocked because i have never seen a white castle anywhere close to me
Emily
Hitting the Penelope right as Eliza takes the breath to say The Wives names ✨
Erin Crook
On bespoke capitalism: when Julia mentioned her tweezers are personalized and she named them “Julia’s Tweezers”, I heard “Julius Tweezers”, which probably is brilliant but who knows bc I am high af and will now pay $40 to Door Dash my “custom” Cantina Chicken Bowl. Victory.
maya
why yes! I was desperate to attend sweetlife circa 2012-2014, my mom always said no 💔
Leia
Also literally the transvestigating of this boxer is another facet of racism too because women of colour are constantly being told they aren’t feminine enough or “look like a man”

Back* lol

Just wanted to say that I love this podcast so much. I started watching during the beginning of my sophomore year of high school and now I’m watching this as I pack for my first year of college 🥲. Hoping to see Eliza in DC soon!
Kelly Gilbert

maggie w
as a survivor of combined washer/dryer experience they should be ILLEGAL absolute TRASH

omg i had a washer/dryer combo machine in my first nyc apartment and when it kept not fully drying my clothes, I called the company to see if something was wrong with it. They said “oh it’s more of a dehumidifier rather than a dryer. if you want your clothes fully dry you should run the dry cycle again” like WHAT?? why do you call it a washer/dryer then?? 😭 also one time the lock malfunctioned after my clothes finished washing so I couldn’t open the door and the repair guy couldn’t come for like 2 days so my clothes got ruined by mildew. if you have one of these units it’s best to just wash you clothes and hang them up, or only dry very small loads 🥴

Started getting sofritas instead of chicken like 7 years ago and never looked vacj

Hanging my head in shame listening to this as a sweetgreen enjoyer 😶🌫️ I had never had it before I moved to California and I love their dressings lolol
Lia Merkowitz
queens will we be seeing the it ends with us movie on this months mediasode??????
Avery
I really think you guys should do a whole episode on the olympics because the modern olympics are so divorced from the ancient olympics and were (based on my limited research) created more as a masculinizing agent than anything else
cordelia
I bought a black top from Eliza and I still have and wear it 🧎♀️thank u
Lydia
Verizon customer service is the WOOOOORRSSST
Arina
I feel like you guys need to watch Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle
mika

Your Mum
I really think Eliza and Julia should have their wall decor be in the color pallets they were given… cant be sitting in front of a wall that washes you out
Cat Cat
Julia your winter colors are making u POP
Emma Rietmann
I had a neighbor who would talk to me about how much she hated my unreachable landlord last year lmfao
Ruby Bissett
all of the olympic coverage in canada on our national media (CBC) was sponsored by ozempic and it was just so bizarre
