For those who don't know: Road to the Skeleton Coast podcast/ Better Sandwich Patreon is an easy and great way to devote hours of your time listening to Brendan talk about music, his music, and many asides.
My point: I can now read all of these entries in his voice. Like Morgan Freeman. Shit's wild. Highly recommend.
Ah, no sorry needed. I've been listening to your "dumb voice" since I was 14 (almost 20 years now). I'm sure that plays a part. I'll keep paying if you keep playing.
i really want to subscribe but i honestly think if my wife hears one more brendan kelly podcast i might be asked (unkindly) to move out. but from listening to like, months worth of Road to the Skeleton Coast, I absolutely get ‘hearing’ it that way when you read.
same, I listen on my way to work so it takes me a week’s worth of drives to get through one episode. I *love* a deep dive into an album though, and as a newer (or re-newed, rather) fan of the band, it’s been an awesome thing to accompany my re-listening. I love it and right now I feel like it’s the only thing keeping me sane.
Same problem. 15 minute drive tops, but lunch and the occasional late night I should be asleep (now). It's great. I've heard shit about songs I've sang for over a decade and just "whoa'd" all Keanu style. Honestly, more bands should do this, but if Tim and Beex never stop, I guess I won't have time for them, so whatever.
Ham n cheese good. But hot ham n cheese much better.
Definitely second the thoughts re reuben. Russian, thousand islands, who gives a shit as long as it's saucy.
If you're not a fan of dry sandwiches, the Cuban, which in my experience is given a light slathering of mustard, is not the best. The Cuban Steak Sandwich (pan con bistec) however is much better and comes w fried potato
Straws on top.
I never knew how rare a good Italian beef was until I moved out of Chicago. What a shame as it is #1 best sandwich imho. Then a good pulled pork. Then a good chix sand
Although it was a pork sandwich w broccoli rabe that won the big competition of 2012
i used to have a customer at the gas station where i work that would make the same joke every day about his hot dog with pickles being a cuban dog. it never made me laugh then, and it still doesn’t. also, meatloaf is such a weird thing: weird to eat it as a slab of meat but also weird to eat on a sandwich. my mom would make one with velveeta inside though, and i can’t complain about that.
Oh, that sounds redeeming. I always hated meatloaf as a kid. Something about the texture. I'd gag and couldn't eat it. My wife's dad makes it without bread (crumbs) and absolutely never considered ketchup; his is great. It's basically a burger, but Italian-y. I was 25 when I finally consumed meatloaf. But now I really want it with Velveeta. Holy smokes
hm. now i’m so curious how it sticks together without the bread crumbs. i guess it might depend on the far content of the meat? unless he uses something else as a binder? oatmeal maybe?
Honestly, no idea. I always thought it was the egg combo I hated, but he said he uses egg. I could be completely wrong, but it didn't have that EXACT same fluff (bleh) and was very similar to a burger.
Fish + cheese is so fucking weird. My Finnish grandfather used to treat me to McDonald's when I came to visit and would let me get whatever the hell I wanted so long as I ordered two or three filet o' fishes for him (I believe he referred to it as "that fish"). You haven't truly lived until you watch an elderly, battle-hardened Finnish man house a tartar sauce/cheese slathered slab of fishstickery in an Oldsmobile.

shucks. Sorry you have to consider my dumb voice at all, but thank you for reading and listening!
I should also add that I can (unnecessarily) hear Tim's slow laugh at your typed jokes. Maybe I'm just losing it, at this point?

Yeah it's wild, but also it's kinda cool. I'm still over a month BEHIND on RTTSC but making headway every day.

Thanks for the tip on the pan con bistec! Sounds amazing.
My pleasure! It's tits. A Cuba Frita Sandwich is interesting too if you're ever in south Florida.
Any relation to Clarence Carter? "strokin" is so good !
Noted!
No relation, but I do be strokin' sometimes. Mostly to west.
“This sandwich is ass. I will probably eat one tomorrow.”
I see what’s happening here

Please send your mom my appreciation however possible. ❤️

♥️♥️♥️ Thank you BK. This made my day. Are you doing deliveries? I’ll take the cheese sandwich- the one from that place...
Cheese sandwich all the way baby! What about PB&J? Powdered peanut butter vs the real deal?
